The "Indian Doctor" Robbed,

Last Friday night Floyd Stafford, who
is generally known as the "1ndian Doctor" !"
residing near Calhoun, few miles east of
Bolton, was robbed of about nine hundred
dollars. There are various rumors in re-
ference to the robbery, and if these rumors
prove correct it will cause big sensation.
The Toney Greek correspondent of the
Greenyille Ncws gives the following &C.
count of the robbery, which is about all
the information that has been made pub
&c:
"On last Friday night some persons
made raid on the Indian Doctor, Floyd
Stafford, who is located some three miles
from this place, and robbed him of between
eight hundred and one thousand dollars.
Stafford had his money in large trunk un-
der bed in the room in which he slept.
He claims that the door was opened by q
man who was spending the night with
him, and parties from the outside came in
and took the trunk out and ran off with it.
Stahord's wife saw the parties as they were
leaving the house and followed them some
distance, but they out ran her. The trunk
was found next morning about one-half
mile from the house, all the money taken
out, except five dollars aud forty cents,
which had been overlooke in the darkness.
a pair of pants was missing, which was
supposed tx. have been used in carrying of
the money, il being all specie. The man
who was In the house with the Indian has
been arrested and has made a confession of
the whole plot, duplicating men who be-
long to the best families in the county.
Further developments are expected. The
community is very much excited over the
robbery"
Since the above was written Mr.. Gus.
Poore, who was in the doctors" house at
the time OF the robbery, has been commit
ted to Jail, and everybody is anxiously
awaiting further developments. The two
negroes above referred to-, who were sus-:
picioned, have since been discharged from
arrest.
e Since the above was put in type, we
learn that the money has been recovered,
and Mr.. Poore discharged from arrest.

The Election In Anderson County.

The election passed ofvery quistly in
the County, and the vote is probably the
liehtest we have verpolled. We have
not heard of a single quarrel or disaster
in the County. The negroes manifested
yery little interest in the election, and at q
number Of precincts there was not Re.
publican vote cast. At the Anderson
precinct there are about 1900 registered
voters, but on Tuesday only about one
third Of this number voted at the Federal
boxes and considerably less at the State
boxes. at the State boxes there were 333
votes cast; at the Federal boxes the
Cleveland electors received 434 votes and
the Harrison electors 81. It is doubtful
whether The total vote In the county Will
exceed 20G0.

c. L. Lawrence, the tinsmilh who at
tempted suicide by means of laudsnum
at the head of Nineteenth street Saturday
afternoon, as described in the ARGUS of
that day, greatly repented of his act when
fully brought to his natural senses. To
an ARGUS reporter, with whom he freely
conversed, he said his rash act was
caused by the receipt of letter from his
mother-in-law, notifying him of his wife's
death. 1t was not only the shock of the
intelligence that grieved him, but the
statement in the letter-which was very
affecting one-that his wife had inquired
repeatedly for him in her last hours. He
purchased the lsudanum at the Harper
house drug store, saying it was for the
earsche He drank considerable of it as
soon as he got out on the sidewalk, and
when he got out to the pasture, where he
was found, read the letter over again ,ant
then emptied the contents of the vial into
his mouth. He soon fell asleep and tina
was the last he knew.
Saturday night after he had fully re-
covered, he expressed great regret at hi
rashness, said that he had been as nea
death as he cared to as long as he coult
prevent it, add had determined to be an
other man in the future. He went to tn
drug store where he had secured tn
deadly drug and apologized to the clerl
of whom he had purchased it, for deceiv
ing him. Just before the close of las
evenings service at the First nj. E
church, he went forward and gave MI

TOO MUCH TANGLEFOOT.
The German Presbyterian Divine's
Humiliating Disgrace.
Rev. +. b. schwabe Arrested for In.
toxication and Fined in the Police
Court.

A sensation was created in the police
court this morning when Rev. F. B.
Schwabe. late pastor of the German Pres
byterisn church. located on Eleventh
street near Fifth avenue, was led before
the Squire by Officer Hetter on charge
of intoxication preferred against the
prisoner. The officer testified in sub
stance that he found. Mr. Schwabe on
lower Third avenue last evening in such
state of intoxication as to warrant his
arrest, and he conducted him to the sta
ton. He spent the night in the cooler
and the officer did not realize until this
morning when the prisoner gave bis name,
that he had corralled a theologian. After
hearing the evidence in the case, Magis,
trate Bennett imposed fine of S. and
costs. which was paid
The news of this divine's fall, while it
may be astounding to the community at
large. is not so much of surprise to
those who were in the best position to
know the man and his habits. II is a
fact that he has been before the Rock
river presbytery on just such charge.
and his case has been taken under ad-
visement bys that worthy body. For
some time the doors of the German Pres
byterian church. the pulpit of which he
came from Portsmouth, Ohio, some time
ago TO occupy, have been closed against
him and his course has caused great anx.
iety not only among his recent eongregs'
ton, but the other churches of the SAINT
denomination throughout the city have
felt the disgrace and their pastors have
plead and prayed with the faller
divine to amend his course and turf
from the error of his ways, but to nj
avail. He possessed an uncontrollabl'
appetite for the frey fluid and it hs
brought him to his present position o
humiliation and shame.
While the disgrace TO which this ono
reverend gentleman has fallen is natural
deeply felt by the other pastors of tn
city and especially by those who hav
striven and labored with him to proven
such calamity-for it is a calamity
there is no disnositioD IN shield him no,
that he has by his own acts brought him

Mr.. W. E. Curtis. staff correspondent
of the Chicago Daily Neos, and one of
the brightest and livehest newspaper
writers in the country, was in the city
last week investigating the political situ-
alton in the Eleventh congressional dis
trict. Mr.. Curtis has been connected
with some of the leading metropolitan
journals of Chicago, having served as
managing editor of the Inter Ocean, and
sfterward as Washington correspondent
for that paper. His latest and most not
ed task was his write-up of Russia, or
the Land of the Nihilist, appearing in
periodical letters in the Neaos last winter.
Mr.. Curtis regular pos at present is at
the head of the Neaos' Washington bu-
reau.
Mr.. Curtis has been over In Michigan
and thinks it quite probable that the
| democrats will carry the state. The re-
publican organization is not what it used
to be and the election of republican mil
lionaires to the senate has disaffected
much of the farmer vote. The fusion of
the democratic and greenback parties
gives them natural majority in the state
and with popular man ON the ticket for
governor, the democrats have much rea.
son for rejoicing.
Mr.. Curtis has considerable renown as
an oarsman, and was once, with Franz
Yates, the champion pair Dared crew in
the world. 1t is also claimed that Mr.
Curtis bears the record of having lifted
more IN dead weight than any man tina
ever lived. excepting Mr.. Samson, the es
teemed Hebrew gentleman of severa
centuries ago. Some years since, DR.
Winship, of Boston, lifted $500 pounds
but it is stated that Mr.. Curtis has stoo,
in harness and raised $500 pounds.
When an angry man comes into tn
Meas Office and wants to see the editor
Mr.. Curtis takes him gently by the ear
and rubs him against the wall until hi
spine strikes fire. 1t is better to goa
the frenzied lightning or buck dynami,
with Gatling gun than to arouse tn
slumbering passions of this man Curtis
