About the time Camp Berry was established,
on the present site of the Rolling Mills young
lady of this city and a soldier who was station
ed there became acquainted. The couple met
quite often after the acquaintance was
formed and strong attachment ending in an
engagement followed The young man pre-
sented his beurothed with an elegant ring
Soon after the engagement the regiment to
which the soldier was attached was ordered to
report to the front at once. The news of the
intended departure was a hard blow to the
young people. But bUth were patriotic and
they parted as hundreds of kothers did during
the rebellion. After the departure the billet
douc were received and sent in rapid success
ion. This state of affairs went ON for some
thing like year when alas it came to sudden
termination. One day the young lady received
very cool letter from her lover,so much unlike
all other letters she had: received that she at
one wrote to him saying she wished to be re-
leased flom her engagement but giving no rea
son for the change in her affections. When
the letter was received by the soldier in camp
he was utterly COMPOUNDED. He had never
written any but words of kindness and affec.
ton to her and why she should tire at him so
cruelty was more than he could tell He grieyed
for some months over his disappointment and
at last left the army and went to California to
trough H. and if possible forget his SORROW
Here he remained until few months ago when
he Unexpectedly received letter from an un-
known source. 1t was the dying confession of
an old comrade who had caused all the trouble
and on his death bed had confessed that be
had got hold of the lovers letters and destroyed
them, sending others of his own manufacture
to the lady in this city. He had palmed off his
writing by copying the original. He being an
excellent penman this was not dficnlt mat
ter.
When the confession was fully authenticated
the man at once started for this city to find his
first and only love. By few enquiries after
reaching this city he learned her residence and
better still he learned that she, like himself,
had remained unmarried. He made haste to
call upon her and to his surprise discovered the
ring on her finger where had placed ~ fourteen
years before. A few words of explanation
made them as near and dear to each other as
ever, and to cut long story short, it was ar.
ranged that they should be married at once,
and the wedding is to take place the present
week at one of our city churches. The happy
couple will start at once for the Centennial.

THE MUSEUM - SOLVER Twist was
brought out to large audience at the Museum
Saturday evening, and seemed to give satisfac-
ton. On the whole it was fairly played, the
burlesque predominatipg too much perhaps in
the first scenes. Some of the acting vas ex-
cellent, notably that of Miss Marsh, who made
decided hit as Nancy giving the public the
best Interpretation she has veutured upon dur
ing her stay here. As thu Haunting quean of
her first appearance she was very happy, and in
the terrible closing scenes evinced great tender
ness and power. Mr.. Learock's "Fagin'' left
something to be desired, but as whole was a
strong and even representation. Mr. Donald
son missed his opportunity in Sykes" He
failed to adequately portray the burly rufian,
and toward the close his horror and remorse
were so much overdone as to become grotesque.
We cannot help thinking that the cast might
have been benefited had Mr.. Learock and Mr..
Donaldson changed parts. Miss Ulmer looked
pretty and pathetic as SOLVER, and Mr.. Nor
ris gave a carefully studied, consistent and
natural John Dawkins." The "Dodger' as
by him portrayed quite realized the creation of

The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-10-04

The Journal is earnestly laboring to en-
barrass the Democratic demonstration on
Thursday by creating the impression that
free trains are to be run to the city. 1t
should be understood that nothing the Jour
nal says IN the matter is worthy of belief, as
it would misrepresent from malicious mo-
tives. 1t is the province of the Journal to
mislead the public and SANDER such soldiers
as do not agree with it politically.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-10-04

Major Gordon in late speech at South
port said ..he had bloody shirt at home
laid away in little box, the sad memento of
an idolized son." Yes, and Major Gordon
knows that he has as much sympathy among
his Democratic friends rs among those of his
own party when he mourns the loss Of his
boy. He knows when Morton and Ben
Harrison talk .bloody shirt" that they mean
an entirely different thing. In plain words,
it is to continue that reign Of hellish passion
which held sway for SO many years in the
Southern states, and by which Morton has
been enabled to hold his seat in the United
States Senate, and by which the last two
presidential elections were carried in favor
of the Radical party. This Is what We mean
by the bloody shirt that CORY symbol be-
hind the flap and futter of which Morton
and Harrison hope to ride into and hold
power, and the thieves and blood-suckers of
the United States treasury hope to keep on
plundering. We repeat: Major Gordon
knows better than any one else that there are
as many warm hearts sympathizing with
him among his Democratic friends as among
the Republicans, when he at times sheds a
silent tear over the loss of his boy.

The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-10-04

The Radical camp is utterly demoralized
and internal dissension and discord are rap
idly doing the work of destruction. The
leaders all concede that the state is lost.
Their poll of the state shows this, and the
state committee and Sitting Bull have for a
week past been devising some plan to save
Harrison from the general wreck. They
have finally determined to sacrifice beyond
instructed the faithful all over the state to
trade off everybody for votes for Harrison.
This movement has created great indigna-
ton among the candidates on the state
ticket and their friends, and Sitting Bull
and the state committee are enjoying the
music of large sized hornets nest around
their ears. Even Republican candidates for
congress are to be sacrificed for the grand
son. Special instructions to this effect have
been sent to Hunters district. In our city
Yesterday the proposition to trade was made
frequently by prominent Republicans, who
were acting under orders from Sitting Bull
But this last desperate movement will not
save Harrison 1t is an evidence of weak
ness, and is breeding dissatisfaction and
loss Of confidence in the rank and file. Let
us urge all our Democratic friends to reject
all offers to trade, but march on in triumph,
and snow the whole ticket under, including
Mr. Harrison.
