Omen AIR worship.

An expounder of religion, named
Charles H. Bigby, applied to Judge
Hadden this morning for protection.
He stated that on yesterday he under
took to expound the good book to a
crowd of sinners in Court Square. and
while in the midst of his exhortations
he was disturbed. He claimed to
have been sent here to teach religion
in the open air by the Y. n. @. A. Of
Indianapolis, Ind, and he asked that
authority, as well los an official guard,
be extended for his use next Sunday.
Judge MADDEN advised him to pro-
cure hall, and when he replied that
was beyond his ability, the Judge told
him the stationhouse should be white
washed an put in order for divine SER
vice by next Sunday, also that he
(Judge Hadden) would be there, to
occupy front seat on the mournerA'
bench. The reverend gentleman, who is
said to be little off in the upper story,
went his way contented, and he fully
expects to hold forth in the station
house according to arrangement.

With Rawhide and is LassOed

This morning Mr.. NJ. w. Luff aud
Mr.. Claverie we're arrested and escor-
ted before Judge Hadden to give an
account oftheir collision on the north
side of Court Square. Saturday evening
last. After a statement of the psrtic-
ulars Claverie was fined $50, and sent
before the Criminal Court under q
bond of $1,000 to answer for the part he
.ploysd In thrashing Mr.. Luf. 1t is
also stated that hs was this morning
dismissed frcm the position he has held
in the Express ofice for B or 6 months
past, while Mr. Luff has been retained.
The primary cause Of Clsveries ire,
which nothing but a cowhide could
appease, is said to have been his fail
ure to be appointed to the place vaca-
ted few days ago by Mr., Harry Hum
ter, and be attributed this failure to
statements made BY Luff. The latter,
however, denies having made state
ments derogatory to Claverie, but
when asked BY his employer what he
knew of his habits, merely referred
the inquirer to others, ls
In passing sentence upon Clayerie
Judge MADDEN said the offense COM
mitted was lone of the most
degrading in the entire calendar of
crime, and he would inAict the full
penalty of the law in the case. The
statement Of Mr.. Luff as to the details
of the occurrence was the only testi-
mony taken, and Claverie, upon being
asked what he had to say, merely
remarked that Luff had told it prop
erly. From persons who witnessed
the affair, it has been ascertained that
Claverie posted himself near theex-
press Office, with his brother and
several companions, waited until Luff
appeared in the street when, without
ceremony and greatly to his surprise,

resistance offered by Luff was an effort
to wrest the whip from Claverie's

duct cowardly in the extreme. Clave-

When deputy sheriff Miller entered
the Batesville Jail yesterday evening
to feed the prisoners, he was set on by
FIVE of the most desperate, all colored
and under Lentence of death, who took
the keys from him and made their es-
cape. They failed to disarm him how
ever, and he followed closely in pur-
suit and captured FIVE, Iwounding one
Of the negroes, whom he subsequently
recaptured. The wind was blow
ing SO. hard at the time that
Mr.. Miller could not at once
raise the alarm. Two white men in
the Jail refused to Join in the attack,
preferring to remain and stand for
trial for the Ofenses with which they
are charged. The four convicted
murderers are at large, with q heavy
force in pursuit. Mr.. Miller is an
able and trusted officer, but he had
too much confidence In himself that
time. He will not soon go into such
nest again.
