Gibson County Fair.

Correspondence of the indianapolis Journal.
PRINCETON, Sept 20. The Gibson county fair
closed to-day. The fair has for many years en-
joyed the reputation Of being the best in this
part of the State, and this year it has been a
greater success than ever before. Every depart
ment in which premiums were offered were well
filed with entries. The livestock show CON
tanned many fine animals not only of this coun
ty, but from different parts of the State. The
exhibits Of agricultural products we're large, and
the floral hall presented beautiful appearance.
The exhibits of painting and crayon drawings by
Misses Maria Blair, Nellie Dorsey, Minnie Grow
and Mrs Callie Vineyard were exceptionally
fine. The society will have handsome surplus
after paying all expenses and premiums.

John Pope, negro, who lives at No. POP West
Sixth street. shot his wife in the head, last night
because when he came home he found that she

awhile, declaring that he would shoot

home, in company with her brother Henry
Ponder, and his wife, to visit an aunt Kate

aetters send, was not absolutely able to tell
what was in it. That is the letter they accused
me of suppressing."
Said L s.Elkins, have these letters affected

election had they come out Beforehand

they had been uncertain how to vote, but when
they found that missing letter among Fishers,
they said: Blaine has been telling the truth. He
never did suppress that letter because he did not
have it. They told Blaine they meant to support
him
Mr. Crawford who has been in Maine for four
weeks said to me: There appears to be ques-
ton whether Mrs. Lot Morrill, wrote the letter to
Blaine which has been issued in her name. 1t is
possible that some one knowing of herimprudent
talk formulated this letter, and put her name'to
it, but she is said to have given Mr.. Morrill, a
good deal of trouble during his lifetime, so much
so that he left that child, which is a minor, in
the hands of guardian. Morrill's brother, An
son p. Morrill,, presided at a late Blaine meeting
the very night Mrs. Morrills alleged letter came
out, and he told me that Mrs. Morrill, never had
the least hostility to Blaine AS for these
Fisher letters" said Crawford, "they wouldn't
have changed vote in Maine"

Important Decision as to Assessments
Auditors Cannot Change the Figures.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANGOLA, Sept 20, Saturday Judge Mcbride
rendered decision in the famous Steuben
county tax assessment cases He held that
what is known as 1.-THE unassessed twothirds"
could not be assessed by the auditor; that is, an
assessment once made, and having passed the
board Of equalization, could not be increased,
although perchance, assessors had rated prop
erty worth SIC, 900 at $1,000 1t was also held
that the contract with the county auditor
whereby he was to receive per cent. of one
third on all property listed by him and his ex-
perts was void. It was further held that while
the contract was void, and no compensation
could be had under it, the assessments made on
all omitted property back as far as 1881, were
valid. Concerning this last point an appeal has
been taken to the Supreme Court

His Friendship for Colored Men in the Days

His Friendship for Colored Men In the Days
! Before the War.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Mr.. William Alexander wellknown, re-
spected and colored citizen called at the Com
mercial Gazette Office yesterday and said that
he noticed statement in the Afro American,
Peter H. Clarks paper, to the effect that Cassius
N. Clay was no friend of the colored man, and
that he was an aristocrat somewhat opposed to
slavery. Said Mr.. Alexander
toTfle man who wrote that article in the Afro
American knows but very little about Mr. Clay.
J happened to be acquainted with Mr. Clay dur
ing most of his life, sixty years or more, and
when they say that Mr.. Clay is not friend of
my race and people, they are long way mis-
taken.
s'When Mr. Clay was publishing the True
American, in Lexington, KY, in 1912 or 43,
forget which, his life was in his own hands
every moment in the day The pro-slavery
party tried to suppress his paper, and they did
it; but they did not do it until the greatest
element ever saw was raised in Lexington,
Fayette county Ky. The pro-slavery party
formed a band, which was given certain name,
but which have forgotten. but it was the same
as the Ku-klux Khan during and after the war
In the South They went around and caught
every free colored man or woman they could find,
and punished them severely because they thought
they were supporting the True American

typhoid fever. would ask my colored friends
If they ever read his reply that he made to that
committee, and then tell me that he was not a
friend of the colored people of the United
States Of America If they do, must say they
do not know much about the man.
II know it to be fact that twice Mr. Clay
was willing to give his life for the cause of the
colored man; once with Samuel Brown at Rus
sells Cave, and next he was with Turner at Fox
town. where Turner lived And then for the
Afro-American to say they know Mr.. Clayi l

Ihe Nuts, of Uniontown, Receive Threaten
ing and Obscene Letters.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
While it seems to be understood and generally
believed that the late illness in the Mutt house,
hold was due to accident and not design yet
there are many who comment on the fact that
threatening letters relative to the members of
the Mutt family have been received by different
parties. There are some stone walls contiguous
to the grounds on which the Mutt residence
stands and on these at various times there have
been pasted anonymous letters, couched in the
most obscene aud threatening language. In
some of them reference is made to particular in-
dlv1duals of the afflicted family or to near rela-
nves, saying that they had better fix up their
affairs IN this world, as they would soon have to

Last spring. when the position of postmaster

We're addressed to various members of the Mutt
family. Joe Mutt was at that time assisting Mr..
Hopwood in the Office, and in this waythe family

thought it his duty to send to Postmaster general
Gresham at the same time asking for the serv-
ices of detective. A detective was sent there
and began to work upon the case when robbery
occurred in postoffce near Uniontown and the
detective was called to investigate it. He de-
parted for his new work with the intention of re-
turning to Uniontown to trace the anonymous
letters to their origin but for some reason failed
to do so. Many are of the opinion that these
letters are not written in spirit of revenge but
are the emanations of some crank who finds
enjoyment in such work The respectable citi-
zens of Uniontown are, however incensed about
the letters, and it is general remark that
Uniontown would be too hot place for their
writer's to live in should their real names be dis
covered

BY His Own Act He Forfeited All Claim to
American Protection.
John Finerty's speech.
I have heard the cry of McSweeney raised.
The changes have been rung upon that from one
end of the land to the other Let me say here
that when an Irishman leaves Ireland and comes
TO this country, and assumes the oath and the
duties of citizenship-when he does that and
enjoys the freedom of this land, then. when he
deliberately returns to his own country, and by
accepting Office under the British law becomes
again British subject, he has forfeited all right
to the protection of this country, and although
should be sorry to have harsh fate awaiting
him. at the same time have no respect for any
man that changes the glorious condition of
American citizenship for the paltry condition of
a British subject If were to commit that act
1 would feel that l was served right in being
abandoned. If Mr. insolvency had not ac-
cepted Office, then, indeed, would the State De-
partment be culpable in not defending
him. hope this will be lesson to all others of
his kind, that the mere fact Of living in America
is not sufficient when man is brought before a
British court He should be able to produce his
naturalization papers or to prove that he was a
minor before he came to this country That
would stop all this trouble. But let the plain
truth be told. Too many of our men who were
arrested on the other SIDE were negligent in re-
gard to their naturalization papers Even the
unfortunate man who was hanged for the say-
ing of Cary, and to save whom your representa-
tive as think you will acknowledge did his
utmost, that unfortunate man labored under the
same difficulty-his papers were not in regular
form. And will say, in justice to the incum-
bent of the presidential chair, that he tele-
graphed Minister Lowell to recognize O'Donnell
just the same as if he had his papers, but the
English government knew they had a technical
advantage, and, despite the American protests,
they refused one weeks respite.
