Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TUscoLA, Jan. 12.-In October, 1881, O man
named A. D. Haggard, hailing from Covington,
KY, married a highly-esteemedlad of this place
named Dawson, a daughter Of w. P. Dawson.
The pair had previously got acquainted in Indi-
annapolis. Tho wedding created quite "a stir at
the time, as the bride had many friends here.
After starting on the wedding tour and getting
as far as Pittsburg, Pa, the lady learned that
her companion had a wife then in Kentucky.
She Immediately returned home to her parents.
The rascal disappeared, and has not shown him
self in this vicinity since.
Detective Rittenhouse, of Champaign, had to
go to Kentucky a few weeks ago, and, getting
trace of the man, he followed him up and arrested
him. He IS now in Jail at Urbana, ILL.,, and will
be brought to this place ON Monday. 1t was ru-
mored that he would be brought here to-day, and
a mob of about one hundred was on the lookout
at all trains. They had a rope, and threats were
freely made that they would use it, but it is not
looked on seriously however, but developments
will be waited with interest. This man Haggart
seems to be a talented rascal. He had a position
as book-keeper for a Chicago wholesale house at
a salary of 81, 200 a year.

tons declaring that the protection OF home in
dustries was one of the fundamental principles

Correspondence of the indianapolis journal.
WABASH COLLEGE, CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Jan. IL.
Governor Porter was greeted last evening by
one of the largest audiences ever assembled in
Charlottesville to hear his lecture on William Z
Gladstone. The First Presbyterian Church was
filed to overlooking, a large number being com
PEELED to go away on account of not being able to
get even standing room. Every one present was
more than satisfied with the lecture, notwith-
standing the high expectations entertained from
the reputation of the author.
The lecturer laid the foundation for his discus
sion of the topic of the evening by an admirable
and instructive presentation of the scope of
English politics, the dificulties which attend in
terests so varied as those embraced in the British
dominions, and the profound attachments requi-
site for any one who achieves leadership in the
administration go
The lecturer briefly reviewed the characters
and abilities of the eminent leaders who had
proceeded Gladstone and then for an hour kept
his audience intensely interested in his analysis
of the great Premier. The subject was discussed
evidently by a friend and admirer, and the
qualities of Gladstone were presented in the
most attractive light. 1t was the review of a
notable character by one eminentiy fitted to per
form the work.
Governor Porter's lecture is one of the series
OF Tree lectures Wnlcn Is DelnS furnished 10 Une
college and citizens of Charlottesville by the
two literary societies connected with Wabash
College, The great success of this lecture is
most gratifying to those who have this course in
charge.
The Governors visit to Charlottesville was
most pleasant to his many friends here. Ac-
companied by Mrs. Porter he arrived in the
city at 9 yesterday morning and spent the time
until noon IN a careful examination of the
college.
The president and several of the professor
conducted them through the library, cabinet,
museum, and the various departments of the
college, including the special facilities now fur
nished in the new building just completed, and
the equipment in the department Of chemistry
and physics in Peck Scientific hall. The new
museum building is now receiving the last
touches of the painters; the grand collection Of
Wards casts have been placed in their new
positions, and the rooms are ready for the re-
moval of the meteorological and archaeological
cabinets.
The library numbers now more than q, 1000
volumes, and has a permanent fund the income
from which is sufficient to add the choicest new
works as fast as they may appear.
The Governor and Mrs. Porter expressed them
selves as greatly pleased with the provisions here
for thorough collegiate instruction
During the afternoon the students, by classes,
paid their respects to our distinguished visitors,
and a large number of citizens, ladies and gen
tlemen, awaited themselves of the privilege of
the informal reception held from 3 to ) o'clock at
the residence Of one of the professors.
The occasion has been one of great interest,
and the remembrance of it will long be pleasant.

Desperate struggle for Life.

Evansville journal.
A fool-hardy exploit, which strongly rivals the
leap of Sam Patch over Niagara Falls, was that
OF five men in a frail skiff seen in the middle of
the Ohio opposite the city yesterday, endeavoring
to battle with the monstrous ice foes which al
most iammed the river from shore to shore, in
an endeavor to cross from the Kentucky side to
this city. The boat was first seen q short dis
lance below the dam about three miles above
Evansville, drifting with the current, but dodg-
ing the huge masses of ice and gaining distance
to the objective point. By arduous efforts they
got into the channel where the ice was running
the thickest, and finding further effort f~ruitless
they headed the boat back and getting about into
the middle of the river they became wedged and
helpless. They drifted down past the city, ap-
parently calling for assistance, which was una
vailng. They gradually went over to the Ken
tuck shore. however, and managed to land a lit
tie above the point, after a six miles struggle
with the ice and elements. 1t was a very wild
proceeding, and one which they, after this ex-
p%erience, will not likely repeat. There was not
a man among the thousands who watched their
movements intently from the levee who would
have wagered five cents on the lives of the five.

warty protuberanees of the skin are very plain.

past a man giving his name as J. K. Turner, and
claiming to be an attorney from Cincinnati, has
