NEW ALBANY, Ind; March lT.-The Sentinel
correspondent has been penetrating into the
true inwardness of that Jeffersonville scandal
that has been creatin such social eruption
in the new and hourishing county seat OF
Clark The parties are Mr. Alex. Sample and
q Mrs Muntel, in the first affair, aud Mrs.
Sample, wife o. Alexander, and Mao. A
Clark, in the second affair, the scandal being
double headed one. In the Sa{Aple- Muntel
case, Mrs Muntel. whose husband is an ex-
convict, brought suit for. -.hastardy against
SAMPLE He AYERS his entire-innocence, says
the case is one of blackmail, but preferred to
give the now characterless woman $500 rather
than be implicated in the disgrace of such
suit. The general belief is that Mr.. Sample is
innocent.
In The affair of Mrs. Sample and Mr.. o. A.
Clark the latter city eDgineer), there has
been a great deal of groundless and
cruel talk. Mrs. Sample is near 50 years old,
but gay, vivacious woman, and member of
Wall street NJ E. church, in which she has
been a warm hearted, generous worker for the
interests of the church and the benefit of the
poor and suffering. Mr.. CLARK is compare
lively young man. here has probably been
some imprudencies in too frequent association
betws en- the parties, when the gossiping pro-
pensities of people in small towns and embryo
cities ara considered. But that there has been
any violation of the moral or civil law but few
believe, and the whole affair has been grossly
and wickedly magniied by idle newsbearers
and loquacious old women; at least this is the
belief of those best acquainted with the parties
and their associations. Mr.. Sample is we'll
to-do lumber merchant and the owner of con-
r-ffsac <Rar,f
the Muntel woman stand high in society at
JefersonviIle. The report that Mr.. Sample
had made application for divorce from his
wife is wholly without foundation, like nearly
all the other idle reports in relation to the un-
fortunate affair. Mrs. Sample is temporarily
absent from her home.
All the manufactures of the city very
prosperous-the rolling mills, woolen and
cotton mills, plate and window glass works,
furniture factories, stove foundries and ma
chine shops, all running fun time. Over
$4,000 enlargements and improvements have
been made this year at DePauw's American
Plate Glass works. tR
Colonel Brice, who was stricken down with
heart disease, on the platform at the Opera
House temperance meeting, Sunday afternoon,
is greatly improved and will recover.
The city Democratic committee has been
called together for Wednesday night to deter
mine the time and make the call for city
nominating convention or primary election.
A new trial in the case of Robinson VS..
Warren Mitchell & Co., in which plaintiff was
awarded $3.50 damages from boiler explo-
sion, was refused defendant to-day and the
ase will probably go to the supreme court.
A tape-worm, so feet in length, was taken
from dog owned by Henry Fawcett, of this
city, to-day. Next.
Captain Paul Boyton is expected TO reach
this city Wednesday on his great swim South
