The Indianapolis leader. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1879-1890, 1880-03-13
INDIANAPOLIS IND, SATURDAY MARCH 49, $780,

but for ought we know Mr.. Ketcham
is in favor of the nomination of a
colored man and had other, to him,
good and sufficient reasonsfo formaking
the motion to postpone. The columns
of the Leader are open forany expla-
nation Mr. Ketchnm may wish to
make in regard to the matter. We
give this publicity TO the feeling
against Mr.. Ketcham not In any spirit
of hostility, but rather for the pur
pose of giving him an opportunity
to set himself right with the colored
people if he is misrepresented.,
The colored people are terribly in
earnest in this matter. They believe
themselves entitled to representation
on the county ticket, and they believe
the time has come when the party
should recognize their claims.
No argument of expediency can be
brought to bear now. Those timor-
GUS Republicans w!lo are always for
the "old flag and an appropriation"
but are ever ready to squelch the as
piring colored man with the thread
bare aphorisms "too soon; wait
while, my colored friend; the people
are not ready, must be made not only
to take back seats but to occupy them
indefinitely. This is a stalwart year
and stalwart principles must be cham
pioned by stalwart men.

The New York Witness, one of the
very best political, literary and reli-
gious journals in the land, has put
two colored men to work In its COM
posing rooms and has advertised for
others. There was wee bit of squeal-
ing among some of the white COM
positors, but an intimation that their
places could and would be supplied
by colored workmen, lulled them into
quiet; and now all goes merry as u
marriage bell. This is brave, manly
step, and it ought to give the Witness
ten thousand colored subscribers.

A Series Of Tragedies at Oberlin.
OBERLIN, O., March 10.

Editor Leader.-The quiet village OF
Oberlin has been in fever of excitement
for the past week over a series of tragedies
which have followed here in rapid sue
John Hawkins, colored barber of New
ark, came to Oberlin in search of his wife
who was visiting relations on North Main
street. He found her at the residences Of
William Mitchell, and after charging her
with life of profigacy and destruction,
he Immediately drew q revolver and fred
two shots, one Of which took effect Just be-
low the right temple, the other In the
back OF her head. Hawkins then turned

to her invalid step-father, who sat by a
stove in an adjacent room, and fired one
shot, which the old man slightly averted,
and only received fesh-wound in the
shoulder. Then returning TO the room in
which his wiielay he leveled the weapon
at his own head and fired, fearing tb at
this would not accomplish bis purpose, he
placed its mouth close to his Left side and
fired again, This last ball slightly fract-
ured a rib which warded, it off from the
heart, the first was completely battered
on the skull. Hawkins is custody at Ely,

and but little hope is had for her re-

good people of Oberlin, news arrived that

Cutting off the Head Of Murderer.

The long-expected execution of Pre-
vost, the murderer of the travelling jew
eler, Lenoble, and the girl Adele Blon-
din, took place recently at the Place la
Roquette. The enormity of the crime
was such as to remove all hope of a re-
prieve, even in this country, where MUIR
derers have of late been treated with
singular leniency. It became known in
the Quarter late in the evening that the
guillotine would be required in the
morning, and by midnight large crowd
had already collected. The cold proved,
however, very trying to the patience of
the would-be spectators OF the mornings s
tragedy, and many gave up the attempt
of witnessing it. At 4 o'clock Debler,
the executioner, arrived outside the
prison with the cart containing the ma
terials for the scaffold. The hammers
quickly went to work, and the uncouth
structure was soon completed. A strong
body of police kept order, and a COM
pany of the Garde Republicaine were al
so present to represent authority. At
$50 cab bearing the fatal number,
''148," that has become legendary with
such scenes, drove up in the darkness of
the prison door, and the chaplain of the
Roquette, Able Crozes alighted and
passed INTO Gne pf1SOn Inc arrival VI
the gendarmerie of the Seine, at half
past 6, announced that the time for the
execution had arrived. At the same mo-
ment the door of the condemned cell
opened, and Provost saw that he stood
in the presence of Deibler and the COM
missioner of police for the Quarter. He
rose from his seat and murmured: "Ah,
then, it is this morning" He was rec
commended to be courageous. 81 shall
be So" he replied. On being asked if
he had any further revelation to make,
he said: s.It is quite enough to have
committed two great crimes. I acknowl-
edge them, and have nothing more to
say" He then listened to the exhorta-
lions of the venerable abbe, and pro-
aeeadeQ to dress. Seven o'clock struck,

The Stevens Battery.

Speaking of naval matters, notice
the approaching sale Of the Stevens bat
terry, which is one of the strange features
of this port. The building in which it
is enclosed, with the surrounding prem
ises, covers two acres, and as there is no
probability that it will ever be used, its
demolition is now urged. The Stevens
family has become famous for its i'm
mense wealth, which is chiefly due to the
Hoboken property and the ferry, both OF
which have become immensely valuable.
Old John Stevens was a remarkable in
ventor. He not only built steamboat
almost contemporary with Fulton's first
effort, but he was our railway pioneer.
In 1926 he built small railroad on his
grounds and operated locomotive which
made six miles an hour. It was great
curiosity, especially when he gave bis
opinion that railroad would soon be
built from New York to Buffalo. He

died IN 1865, aged sixty eight. He was
very remarkable inventor, at least in
navigation, and among his other creations
was the above mentioned iron battery.
He began the work in 1845, his plan be-
ing to construct vessel which should be
proof against the heaviest shot. This
work he continued till his death, but
when the rebellion began it was not ac-
-cepted by the Department, and the inn
iprovements of the age have rendered it
worthless. Hence, the mighty vessel in
which quarter million has been ex-
pended will be taken to pieces and its
materials sold for old iron; sad instance
of work of genius becoming not only
utterly useless, but also an encumbrance,
and whose removal will be an item of
heavy expense. The dimensions of this
enormous vessel are as follows: Length,
4f5 feet; breadth, 48 feet; depth, 80 feet.

and all eyes were turned toward the tall
form of the culprit, which could be seen
advancing through the opening. Al
though perfectly livid, Provost walked
firmly to the scafo1d. There the chap
