A MLSER ROBBED.


To those who are acquainted with the
miser and eccentric old man, ,Jno Swimm
the above announcement will be mat
ter of little wonder, but the anxiety to
learn the particulars will be none the
less keen. He travels over the country
like poor old beggar, and indeed does
beg his way wherever he can, though he
is worth in notes and cash several hund-
red thousand dollars, and generally car
ries bonds and currency with him in an
old bundle ofsome kind to o large amount.
AS most, if not all our readers are per-
fectly acquainted with the ways, habits
and wealth of the old man, we will not
further digress, but come to the facts of
the robbery as we have gathered them
from himself and others. On Monday
he had received from Treasurer Wilkin
over $4,000 for interest on bonds, and for
a bond taken up. From here he went to
Ada and made some collections there of
interest, &c, and on Wednesday after
noon went out to Mr.. Robert Preston's,
about four miles south of Ada, to fix up
some account he had against Mr.. Pres
ton. Night came on, he arranged to re-
main there that night, and about bed
time stepped out doors for a moment,
when he was Immediately seized by some
parties apparently layingin wait for him,
and knocked down and robbed, as he
claims, of $l0,205. He may have had
that sum upon his person, though most
people believe the amount to be over
stated, but be that az it may, the amount
taken was large one. He yelled with
all his might, but no assistance seemed
to reach him until the robbers had done
their work and safely got away. The
old man showed marks Of very i'll usage
on Friday when in town. On Saturday
he swore out an affidavit before H. NJ.
Childs, ESQ.,, of this city, for the arrest
of j, f. Rice, who resides near Ada. Mr..
Rice with others was charged with hav-
ing committed the crime, and were
brought here on Saturday night, when
the examination was postponed until to-
day, and the prisoner, Mr.. Rice, was al
lowed to return home on giving bond
of Sl0,0 900 for his appearance. Who the
guilty parties are we have not the least
idea, but with many others we have of
ten wondered why this man has not been
robbed often and before this.-Kentop

THE LONG POINT MURDER.


On the 22d several persons were arrest
ed in Terre Haute, Ind, charged with
the Long Point murder, which occurred
in July, 1875. A despatch from Terre
Haute, gives the following account of
the crime and arrests:
on the night Of July 5. 1875, as the east
bound express train on the railroad drew
up at Long Point water tank, at midnight
two masked men sprang upon the engine
shot he,engineer dead in his seat, open.
ed the throttle, and were soon plunging
onward, carrying with item the Adams
Express car, which had been detached
from the train by accomplices. The mes
senger barricaded the doors, and success.
fully withstood SIEGE The shrewdest
detectives in the country were employed
to ferret out the perpetrators; but al
though many arrests we're made, and q
large sum of money expended, the search
was unsuccessful. Several weeks since
two prostitutes overheard Charley st.
Clair in conversation with some associates
concerning the Long Point murder They
heard enough to convince them that st.
Clair was one of the guilty parties, and
that mulatto by the name of Alex. Caut-
horn, who was in the employ of St. Clair
was an accomplice. These women went
TO indianapolis, where they sought an
interview with Chief of Police Dewy, Of
that city, to whom they relate what they.
had heard. Chief Dewy lured the negro
Cauthorn to Indianapolis, and from him
gained a partial confession, duplicating
Chas. st. Clair Of this city; Alexander
and Samuel Cauthorn, two disreputabl9
negroes; Billy Cass, young man who
has been loafer about our streets for
several years; Bud Shewmaker, brother
of ex Chief Police Shewmaker, who was
baggage master of the train which the
thieves attempted to rob Jack Splau, q
brakeman on the Vandalia road, and
Jennie Osgood, a courtesan. Chief Dewy
obtained from the Governor of Illinois a
requisition for those parties, and accom-
panied by Captains Brown and Murphy,
of indianapolis, arrived in the city last
evening The parties above named were
all arrested except Splan, who is now
employed on the Illinois Midland road.
He will probably be arrested this eve-
ming. The parties arres ted were taken
to Prairie City, ILL.,, the county seat Of
Cumberland County, in which Long
is located. At the Union depot st. Clair
was confronted with G. Wolf, an Indian
apolis, machinist, who positively identi-
fed him as the man who had ordered
the steel armor worn by the robbers.
The officers say they have abundant evi.
dence of the guilt of the parties arrested.
The woman Jennie 0sgood was dressed
in mems clothes at the time of theat tack
on the train, and wore false mustache.
She was on the engine when Eames was
killed. She has signifed her intention
to tell all she knows.

A NOTED JoIRSALIsT.-It has been remark
ed that very few who get into journalism start
out with such intention. They drift in acciden :
.s,ly, and are promoted rs they develop caps'
city. Money, wealth parents and influence are
emo sort OF service in getting young man 8
place on 8 newspaper. There is no bGaincSs
that is so entirely independent OF all these con-
sideratons as this. A wealthy farther can easily
get his son location to read law, or medlcine,
or push him forward IN almost any Walk OF ne
he may select, but he is utterly poWerIess 10 40
ANYTHING FOR him in g journalistic way. 10 DC
snra he may buy o newspaper, and set ms nope
rul I'D in that manner, but unless there IS some
thing in the youth called Journalistic knack, a
natural knowledge CT what to write and how 10
write it. be will be failure in that limo, and all
The money and Influence OF wealthy and perhaps
powerful relatives will count for nothing.
Ons of tho ablest Journalists in this country IS
Mr, Z. L. White the New York Trbunes CHIEF
correspondent n, Washington. Mr.. White is
bout thirty-Gre years OF age. He was born in
Massachusetts, and early worked IN the iron
foundry business which his father carried on.
Tine mono:cny of this he occasionally varied Dy
working on 8 farm il summer, and attending
but 81. 80 per week he got place in card board
factory, earning s. per week. Working along
in this way TO pay expenses, he finally got into
college and graduated. His first newspaper
work was few stray articles for temperance
iournsl. He commenced on the Tribune about
len years ago al the princely salary of five dollars
sweek This was merely nominal, and fixed for
tho purposeo; finding out whether there was
anything in the young man or MOI In s snort

way as be showed capacity. Nobody interced-

Tor, IS have said, outside Influence is Of no ssr-
vice in journalism, even if young man can
command it. Mr.. White, now ranks as one OF
the best correspondents on tho American press,
considerable advancefrom ten years ago, when
he started in on fvo dollars week. Yot with
out natural capacity he would have failed long
ago, and dropped out Of sight in the army oil
