Bold Dash for Liberty.

Wednesday night as the Evansville,
Terre Haute and Chicago railway train,
passing through Terre Haute, had
neared Clinton, desperate criminal,
named Johnson, alias "Bandy Mike, |"
succeeded in making his escape by
boldly jumping from the train. Escort
ing the criminal were Sheriff Copeland,
of Fayette county, and several officers
of Terre Haute. johnson, about mid
night, complained of being sick, and
asked the Sheriff's permission to stand
on the platform in order to obtain some
fresh air, which request was granted,
Sheriff Copeland accompanying the
prisoner.
The Sheriff and his prisoner, who was
supposed to be handcuffed, were quietly
standing on the platform enjoying the air
when suddenly johnson dealt the Sheriff
a terrible blow on the head with sharp
instrument, knocking him senseless
through the car door. johnson then
made desperate leap from the car. The
night was as dark as pitch, and the
train was at the time going at the rate
of thirty miles an hour. The train was
quickly stopped, and a search instituted
for the prisoner, but no trace of him
could be discovered. Johnson, alias
"Bandy Mike" is desperate criminal,
who was held on a charge of murder
and other crimes, and was on his way
North for trial. His escape is conceded
to be one of the most daring ever
affected.

Better than a Watch Dog.

The Providence "Press" says: Mr..
Orin A. Wehoskey, who keeps lock-
smith shop at No. 200 Broad street, has
reason to congratulate himself for pos
sessing an animal whose services, Friday
night, was fully as valuable, if not more
so, than an ordinary watch dog. About
nine o'clock last evening, would-be
thief stole around to side window of
Mr.. Wehoskey's, and effected an en-
trance by forcing open the window
with a Jimmy" AS soon as he got
inside, however, he met with warm
reception, for the proprietor's owl which
is generally at liberty during the night
time, seized upon the intruder, and there
was quite tussle, until at length the
man succeeded in making his escape,
leaving his hat and the implements
used in opening the window.
When Mr.. Wehoskey went to the
store this morning blood was found on
the floor, desk, near the window, and
other places, and the Jimmy was
covered with blood. The OWLS feathers
were bloody, as well as his claws, thus
showing the faithfulness with which he
had defended the property Of his mas
ter's, who searched the store but found
nothing was missing.

JUDGE HUGHES decision in the mis-
cegenation case at Richmond, Virginia,
is too important to be lightly passed
over. 1t was claimed by counsel for the
petitioner that marriage was civil con-
tract, and that the rights ola citizen in
one State could not be abridged by anoth-
er State. Judge Hughes did not decide
the main question, but threw the case
out of court, on the ground that the
United States courts had no jurisdiction
in questions of marriage. If this is so,
citizens of the United States who live
unmolested in one State of the Union
and have broken no State or national
law, may be liable, as soon as they en-
ter the boundaries of another State, to
arrest and imprisonment.

Eels do Spawn.

The Huntingdon "News" says: We
happened to be present on Friday last
when Major Nightwine was cleaning a
young eel at his cabin near the slab
dam. Upon opening it he discovered a
large quantity of eggs in the egg sack,
and although he is an experienced fish
erman and has cleaned hundred of eeIs,
this is the first time he ever noticed
that they had eggs. This fact may go
far towards solving the mooted question
whether cells spawn. From the large
number of eggs in this young eel we
are inclined to believe that they do
spawn.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.I
1 WINNIPEG, Sept. supplies for Indians in
the Northwest are being forwarded as rapidly
az possible. There has been q great deal Of
bungling in the Indian department, and q
scarcity Of food, together with the non.arrival
of supplies, have made the Indians distrustful
and dangerous The difficulty was temporarily
got over at Battleford by the Indian agent
issuing notes at thirty days to the assembled
Indians, which the merchants of the place
agreed to take as cash, pending the recent Of
treaty money from Ottawa. The Indians don't
take kindly to the step. but think it bette,
than having to wait indefinitely for their
money. Advices from Edmonton state
that nothing but accounts of starvation
and suffering are coming in from the
palms. and hunters agree in savinn
there are no buffalo between that place and
Cypress Hills. A feeling of uneasiness still
prevails and it is feared the steps now being
taken to arm the frontier population, together
with unfulflled treaty pledges, may augment
the distrust in the Indian mind and possibly
precipitate trouble. ,9

These are completed returns, indicating fur
Their Republican gains. The counting, which
is progressing slowly in the city, indicates no
relative change.
SAN FRANc1sco, Sept. 5.-Three- fourths of
the vote in the city and State is counted. Per-
kins is leading Glenn about the same. Com
pletion Of the count will increase Perkins,
plurality to 1900 or 5000 probably. In the
cities he will gain on Glenn, and in the coun-
try on White. During the remainder of the
count all the State ticket will go with tho head
except Justice, which cannot yet be determine
ed. 1t is now probable tue Republicans will
elect all their Congressman, though very close
in the city district. The Republicans elect the
railroad commissioner in the northern district,
and the Workingmen theirs in the city and
southern district. The legislature is still in
doubt. Kalloch continues to increase his lead,
and is elected beyond doubt. The Working
mems chances are best for sheriff, auditor, col
lector, and county attorney, and sure on dis
trict attorney. The Republicans probably get
the balance, except, perhaps, two or three
supervisors and SCHOOL directors, The superior
judges will be divided.

a very happy and eloquent speech, introduced
Mr.. Gilman to the immense crowd which
thronged the streets and sidewalks in all direc-
tions. Upon the appearance of Mr.. Gilman
upon the balcony of the hotel, he was greeted
with three rouslng cheers and tiger. He said:
"FellOw citizens: thank you for this I'M
expected but warm and cordial greeting. I
have nothing to say with reference to the Bitter
contest which has terminated in my nomina-
ton for Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota.
Let the dead past bury its dead. Our friends
believe in the ballot, and honest means to ac-
c0mplish honorable ends. do not regard this
success q personal one. The interests of
Northern Minnesota, with which I have for
more than twenty-five years been identified,
and for which l have honestly and zealously
labored, were considered, and it has resulted in
my being placed upon the State ticket. To
my friends, who have thus recognized nv
efforts, I am under great obligations, and to
them. through you, now return my sincere
thanks. 1t is for you that this honor has been
conferred, and need not say that, should
be elected, as know shall pe, that the past
shall be the pledge to you and t. the interests
of the entire Northwest, that my best efforts
shall be exert.d in your behalf. Your respect.
ed Endorsement of me in the past is the best
evidence of your esteem and confidence in nv
political integrity. and shall not take your
time to ref4te the base calumnies that have
been heaped upon me- You and know that
they are without foundation, and that they
will recoil with visible effect upon their au.
thors. Permit me again to return my sincere
and hearty thanks for this cordial greeting.''
MI. i. Gilman's remarks were greeted
with loud and continual applause,
after which the band struck up, Hail to The
Chief"
Hon. J. y. Brewer being called for, appeared
and addressed the assemblage in his usual
forcible style, and his remarks were received
with the greatest enthusiasm. Hon. J. E..

of MIR. Gilman then separated with three
cheers for him, and the success of the Repub-

z cSHccAnEN VVaAo1S G4Cs
Piqqed by tho enormous SUCCESS of the Min.
neapolis fair and the beggarly failure of the
exhibition on the st. Paul fair grounds, some of
the leading citizens Of st. Paul have organized
a stock company with view of
getting up grand show in 1880
that will throw the Northwestern
exposition entirely into the shade. That is ell
right. We wish the St. Paul gentlemen every
success. Minneapolis desires some competi.
ton worthy of her. The State Fair this wear
does not amount to enough to make the rivalry
interesting. This years experience is
doubtless the death warrant Of the
State organization, and the st. Paul
company will take its place. Then we
may have two fairs in two cities that will draw
together not only all the people of the State,
but of half Of Wisconsin, Iowa and Dakota as
we'll. There will be enough to make both
profitable. Minneapolis recognizes the fact
that her best stimulus of growth lies in a
healthful rivalry with the city down the river,
and hence will welcome any movement there
which is calculated to put us upon our mettle.
