THE GoUGAR-uANDLEE TRIAL.

HRS. Cougar Does Some Very Vigorous Writ

Special to the indianapolis Journa.
LAFAYETTE, Feb 9.-0ver her initials, Oh.
NJ. g." Mrs. Cougar will say in her paper,
Our Herald, in to-morrow's ISSUE under the
head, "Our SANDER Suit" among other
things that The third week of our slaEder
suit has gone, yet not one particle of evidence
has been offered touching the real issue of
the case" The article goes on to say: "a
trick of the defense to give them the appear
ance of responsibility, was to issue subpenas
to a large number of our first citizens. in
order to give setting to the saloon-keepers,
bartenders and thugs who have been the
main support of the defense. Around two
or three perjured witnesses they have gath
cred mass of stuff such as seeing Captain
Wallace and ourself on railroad trains here
and there, at different times, and have given
such an Interpretation to perfectly inno-
cent and proper acts as would arise
in the minds of those debased by drink
and habitual association with the
vile" The article says further: 1.-THE
language and conduct of the attorneys of the

their natures, excited partially by drink,
could possibly be, and the dignity:of the law
has taken no note of the facts" Mrs. Cougar
then refers to sick jurymen, and stigmatizes
the motion to discharge by the defense as q
dastardly move. She accuses the press of
entering into a conspiracy to break her down,
and rather gets the better of two of the pa

mony that these papers have been greatly
concerned because women sit and hear this
testimony, "when each issue of these papers
dish up every word and send it into the hands
of women and children without an apparent
sign of remorse." She says that any of the
newspaper men here may be bribed by dol
lar or q glass of whisky and adds. Every
day brings us to fuller knowledge of the
utter helplessness of woman when left
in the hands Of man-made laws,
executed and interpreted alone by men"
The article is a column and half long and
after upbraiding the attorneys for the de-
tense, the jurors, and several of what she
calls hitherto respectable men, who are will
ing witnesses, closes as follows;
1--WE are hopeful and courageous, and if
we come out of this with unshattered health
and without the entire loss of faith in
human nature, we shall thank God and take
courage to work more faithfully against the
evils that be. My pen burns to reveal all,
thar all may catch glimpse of the fiends
that ruin not only the bodies and souls of our
men but would ruin the reputation of our

From the Consul at Cork.

WAsHINeroN, Feb. 9.--The United States
consul at Cork ireland, has written an in
teresting dispatch to the Department of
State in regard to the industrial exhibition
of arts, products manufactures and ma
chnery to be held in that city during the
summer and autumn of 1883. The former
exhibitions of this character, which have
been held in Ireland, have failed to produce
the hoped for satisfactory results, owing to
dissension, of political character. Among
their promoters profiting by former ex-
perience, however, those having the present
scheme in hand have decided upon ignoring
all questions of patronage and politics. and
indications are forthcoming that the exhibit
ton will be grand success. In connection
with the display OF irish products, there will
be held annual agricultural, horse and dairy
shows, the principal exhibitions of the
kind held in the South of Ireland.
