Allow me to express, on behalf of my
people, my sincere thanks to you for
the sober, correct and truthful state
msnt of tO-day's Issue of your paper in
regard to the occurrence on Monday

port of tie whole affair Is based on facts,
and correct in every particular; and the

agination aud to report falsely scenes
and incidents, as we'll as ridiculing
certain class of exclrSionistG,
especially those of the rising generation,
who should have been so very numer-
ous and disturbing to the peace of the
adults, and In all ,picturing things that
never transpired, renuers lC manly and
respectful, real and reliable. That
the excursionists, as a whole, remained
calm 'acd acted orderly during their
imprisonment" is true aud is certainly
Credltable 10 the good people on board,
as one CT the 0tiicerS expressed it. None
the less good was the behavior OF the
officers Especially will we hold in
grateful remembrance the kindness OF
Captain Lackey to yards us,
What has happened to the engine may
happen TO any steam engine any day,
whether performing its functions inatac-

can never diminish my confidence in
the staunchness of the steamer In ques-

officers. Notwithstanding the accident
believe my people would not hesitate
to make tour on the same steamer.

Fined for

Some time ago it was stated in the
REPUBLICAN that little girl, daugh.
ter of William II. Stoops, had been alb
Quoted by her father and taken to
SteubenvIlle, Ohio, where she was left
while the father returned to this city.
1t was also stated that the child 3 moth
er heard of her whereabouts and went
out after her and brought her home.
The circumstances of the affair were
given in detail and the father placed in
an unenviable light before the public, he
having parted with his wife some time
before the abduction and at the time
swore vengeance upon her. When he
heard that she had recovered her child
he endeavored to capture her again and
was partially successful.
He met two of his children on the
street recently and coaxed them to ac-
company him to the house of his mother
but they would not 60 with him, and
subsequently he was arrested and taken
before Judge Wales, who ordered him
TO appear before him at a stated time.
When the time arrived he failed to ap.
pear. He was at once re- arrested and
brought before the court that convened
on Wednesday last. The Judge admin
istered severe reprimand and stated
to the prisoner that his Case was one
of the grossest contempt to the court,
and he ought to have the full penalty of
the law, but as there was slight defect
in the same he could Only impose the
fine and costs. IL discharging the
prisoner the udge warned him to cease
annoying his wife and under no cir
cumstances to molest the child. Stoops
is trying every conceivable plan to get
possession of his children and will
probably have writ of habeas corpus
issued 20 recover them, but it is not
likely he can accomplish his purpose.
