A Horrible Crime Near Terre
Haute, Ind.

A terrible crime was committed on the
night of the 3Oth ult., near Sanford Station,
about eight miles west of Terre Haute, Ind.
BurgOyne Tritt, wealthy farmer, had in
his employ young man named Sylvanus
Burnham, who became enamOred OF Tritt's
daughter, Rose, an agreeable young
lady of 10. The latter did
not encourage the hired mans advances, but
was keeping company with young man in
the neighborhood, to whom it is supposed
she was engaged to be married. On Sun
day evening Roses favored sutton paid her
visit, which so wrought up the hired
mans jealousy that he threatened in some
way to get even with his rival, but no one
suspected to what horrible crime his bad
passions would lead him. About O'Clock
ON the morning Of the 31st, Mr.. Tritt was
awakened by the smell of smoke, and, upon
arising and making examination, found the
fire in Roses bed-chamber. She was lying:
upon the floor, dead, and her person bore
evidences of a terrible struggle. She was
weltering in blood and her throat cut,
but the father could not remove the body
on account of the heat, for
the whole building was enveloped in flames,
and he had to flee to save his own life. Be-
fore going to Rosa's room, Tritt had repair
ed to Burnham's apartment and found that
he was gone and had taken with him his
trunk. 1t has been developed that Burn
ham committed the deed, that he murdered
the daughter, set fire to the building and
escaped. The poor girls charred body was
found in the ruins on the following morning.
Burnham had worked for Tritt about three
years, and formerly resided in Tennessee.
A large number Of men joined in pursuit Of
the miscreant, and it was thought he would
be certainly oyertaken and made to pay the
penalty of his crime.

The Mystery of a Corpse.

A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Gazette, from Hillsboro, o., Oct. 80,
says: On the third day of our County
Fair the dead body of young man, a,
stranger, was found in the road near
Hillsboro, 10 miles west of this place.
An inquest was held, but there being
nothing about his person by which he
could be identified, he was buried by the
authorities and pistol, razor, four
Franklin County Democratic tickets, a
prescription signed by an Illinois physi-
clan and a pocket-book containing $3.50
in money, deposited with Judge Nor
ton. A day or two afterward gentle
man from near Williamsburg, o., see
ing the account of the suicide in the pa
pers, became convinced that it was his
brother-in-law, Moses Henderson, who
had disappeared under myterious cir
cumstances. The body was disinterred,
and pronounced by the gentleman to be
his relative. 1t was taken up and
reinterred in Laurel Graveyard,
in Clermont County, as the remains.
of the missing man. Moses Henderson,
however, was not to be disposed in that
way, for to the utter CONSERVATION of
his relatives and friends he appeared
few days thereafter among them in the
flesh, and the question of whose corpse
it was they had given sepulture became
more serious than pleasant. 1t is
thought now, however, that the mystery
has been solved. On last Sabbath Mr..
L. Morehead, of Shadeville, Franklin
County, arrived here, having also read
the reports of the case in the Gazette.
His half-brother, Thomas Ramsey, left
home on the Wednesday before the body
was found, and his actions at the time
gave rise to some uneasiness to his
friends. Mr.. Morehead gave correct
description of the articles found on the
body before they were shown to him,
and identified the revolver and razor at
once as his brsther's property, and start
ed Immediately to where the body was
buried, intending to have it again disin-
tered and removed to his home near
Columbus.

Turks claimed to have repulsed the Russian

Orchanie, Lovatz and Plevna. a.

Hon. CLARKsON N. POTTER of New
York has declined the Craftsmanship Of
the House Committee on Pacific Rail
roads solely, as he states in a letter to
the Speaker, because of his interest in
railroads, in Pennsylvania, of which
Colonel Thomas A. Scott is President.
This, he thought, would be regarded as
uniting him for service on that CON-
mittee. Otherwise, he would willingly
have accepted the position. Under the
rules of the House, Throckmorton of
Texas will succeed, Potter to the Chair
manship. This makes the committee
unquestionably in favor of subsidy for
the Texas Pacific.

THE Piutes and Shoshones in the
neighborhood of Austin, New, had
grand rabbit drive in Reese River valley,
which lasted five days. The valley is
teeming with rabbits, and the method
pursued by the Indians in killing them
insures the slaughter of thousands of
the animals. They select a piece of
ground which they know to be the re-
sort of rabbits, and form a circle. In
side this circle the women and children
are placed, and the circle is gradually
contracted, the squaws and papOoses
meanwhile beating the brush with
sticks to start the rabbits The bewil-
dered little animals rush hither and
thither, and, finding no escape from the
circle of hunters, are gradually concen-
trated in a smaller and smaller space.
When the supreme moment arrives, the
Indians discharge their guns and ar

rabbits, Staying large numbers Of them
