Supposed Drowning of Butcher.

Special to the indianapolis journal.
TERRE HAUTE, March u.-This morning the
wagon Of Joe Eckard, q butcher at st. Mary's, a
few miles west, was found under wagon bridge
in the bottoms across the river. The horse was
still attached to the wagon. but the meat and
contents were found scattered along the road
leading to the bridge. The theory is that Eckard,
as was his custom, had got drunk while in town,
and in driving home drove off the road, falling
into the water that now fills the bottoms. His hat
was found floating near the wagon, but although
search parties have been dragging for his body
ali day. no further trace has been obtained. The
latest development is the discovery of the fact
that two men were seen on the road carrying
sides of meat. One of these men has been ar
rested. He says that, with man unknown by
name occupation to him, he was going west
on the road, before daylight this morning, when
they found the meat down in ravine. He does
not explain how it happened that they saw the
meat in the dark but did not see the wagon.
His name is Jim All, and he has the reputation
of being a worthless fellow. There is noxr6ce
of the other man.

Special TO the IndianaDoiis Journal.
EVANSVILLE, March l1-Quite a sensation
was produced in this city to-day by the arrest of
Frank c. Talbot, prominent young man, on
charge Of embezzling 81, TOO from the E. & T. FL.
railroad. Talbot has been in the employ of the
company for fifteen years. and unlimited faith
was placed in him. He had been ticket agent
since 1880 until last October, when President
Mackey sought to claim Ae commissions paid to
Talbot by other roads This the latter re-
sented, and upon his proposed transfer to the
freight department. Talbot sent in his resigna-
ton, since which time he has been engaged in
the publication of railroad guide. Talbot now
has suit pending in the United States Court
against the E. & T. ii. road for S., 900, for com
missions which he claims the road has
unlawfully withheld. President Mackey
says the suit was not brought by
the road but by Mr.. John Sully, the general
manager of the Fidelity Trust Company, in
which they insured Talbot some years ago, and
who responsible to the railroad company for
any defaleation in his accounts. President
Mackey was very reticent, and Talbot also re-
fused to talk. The general feeling in the city is
favorable to Talbotts innocence. He has been
raised in this city, and has always been upright
sober and industrious. and not few are found
who regard the whole business as a bit of malice
on the part of the railroad company, because of
the pending suit, and which they are likely to
lose. Talbot was taken before tho court this
afternoon and placed under $4,000 bail, which
was Immediately forthcoming, Mr.. James l.. Orr
and Auditor John McDonough going on his
bond.

the DEMOCRACY WIN the
NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.

Elections were held last Tues
day in twelve States. The in
terest was centered manly OF
New York and Virginia, where
the Republicans made a desper
ate effort to Win.
The Democratic majority in
New York is counted at not less
than 25.0 900. The Democrats car.
~ Virginia by about the same
vote.
The Democrats make large
gains in Pennsylvania and Mass
chutetts.
The New York Worl in an ed
itorial Oh the result in New York,
says:
"The resulst of the election in
this State is a rebuke of two
things: the bloody shirt and the
bloodless mugwump. David B.
Hill is chosen Governor by ma
jority probably fifteen or twen-
ty times as large as was given to
Mr. Cleveland last year. The
mugwumps have failed to stren-
. gthen and support Mr.. Cleve-
lands Administration by elect
ing Davenport. The people may
be trusted. They have rebuked
the unpatrlotic attempt OF the
Republican party to revive NAL
evidence and hostility between
the people of the two sections Of
the country. They have stamp
ed out the impertinent assump-
ton of the small mugwump CO.
terie. who. emulating the self
confidence OF the historical trio
of Tooley street tailors, had un-
dertaken to dub themselves I'VE,
the people of the United States.'
1.-The election of Governor Hill
is no ordinary triumph. 1t is an
event unusually important and
encouraging to the Democracy
and to the friends OF real, popu-
lsr. self government. 1t is far
more significant than would
have been an ordinary victory

one word nf sympathy and friend

fro him in spite of the strongest
efforts to give impetus to the can
