The Supposed Murder at scottsburg Proves

JEFFERsoNvILLE, Sept. 2l.-The Storz TRACE
dy is still the all-absorbipg topic of conversation
in this city. at his home, and at Scottsburg,
where the bloody drama occurred. Whether he
en- led his own existence or died by the hand OF
another is q question which cannot yet be an
swered with any degree of certainty, although
to-day's developments strengthen the latter the
DRY, which was hooted at yesterday. The coro-
ner of Scott county held an inquest, and a thor
ough examination Of the room in which Storz
was found was made. Under the carpet, in one
corner of the room, was found a new pocket
knife which was covered with blood. 1t was
stated yesterday that a fan belonging to q wom-
ar of Scottsburg. named Lydia Miller,
with whom Storz was said to
be on intimate terms. was found
in the room where the tragedy occurred; but she
proved that the fan was not hers. Mrs. LOOMS
states positively that Storz did answer her when
she called him at $50 a. Al. and Ed Graybill, O
mill engineer, testified before the coroneris jury
that he saw Storz at 5 A. NJ. Alex. Gregory, Of
Crothersville, who rode up 10 that place with
Storz on the night OF the tragedy, stated that
Storz talked TO him very much like a man con-
templating suicide, aud asked If two teaspoons
left Jacksonville he had in his possession a gold
watch, which cannot be found. 1t is hardly
probable that any one would enter the hotel and
commit q murder after the hour at which Storz
was seen by Graybill, and at which he answered
Mrs. LOOMS.

Decatur, Ala, which arrived here this morning
brought TO Kentucky between 200 aud 800 yell
low-fever refugees from Decatur, Ala A large
number left the train at the smaller towns and
came on to this city. Mo Sc OF these had rela-
tives or friends, TO whose homes they went. A
few went to hotels but did not register from De-

gauntlet through several places in tho South,
and had to conceal our identity in order to es-
cape being thrown into quarantine. When We
left Decatur there had been four cases of fever
reported, and l don't know how many have &C.
Cured since then. For several days past
there have been rumors there that the scourge

the disease, and in order TO prevent q
panic suppressed the facts. As soon as it be-
prevailed, aud all those who could leave the city

exists in all through southern Alabama, Mis-

Another Protection Democrat.

The Hon. Enoch Ensley, OF Memphis, Tenn,
a typical representative of the South in all ex-
cept his strong faith il protection, was at the
Fifth-avenue Hotel to-day. He was q Demo
crat OF the old school until the lines wers drawn
on the question Of free trade aud protection. A
reporter asked him how he intended to vote.
He said.
IL have boen a Democrat all my life, but now
the question before the people is whether we
shall open the doors OF our country to European
competition and reduce our working people to
the level Of foreign pauper labor, or maintain a
protective tariff and be prosperous and independ-
emit. Ishall not vote for Mr.. Cleveland because

Harrisonl / may vote for him if l am In
Tennessee when the election occurs"
"Do you think many Democrats in the South
are in favor of protection2"
"Yes, but they will nearly all vote the Demo-
cratic ticket from force Of habit. lido not think
they will do it all the time. I believe protec-
ton will be the rock upon which the solid South
will split. We have no other issue"

Free-Trsde Dinner-Buckets,

To the Editor or the indianapolis journals:
Last year the writer attended several of those
Trafalgar square meetings OF unemployed work
inemen In London. At one of these meetings
there were five or six thousand OF them met on
O September afternoon to ask Parliament to do
something to relieve their restitution and want.
On that same day the Pail Mall Gazette had an
estimate that there were loo, 900 of them in
London. These 100, 900 men, able ard willing
to work, did not know one day where the bread
that would keep soul and body together the next
was to come from. At that date it was estimat-
ed that there were more than one million OF
these pauper laborers in the British islands.
The Democrats are never tired of telling Us
about an imaginary British workingman, who Is
well paid, prosperous, contented and nappy.
The man whose stretch OF cred1hty Is large
enough to let him believe that such . creature
exists in any great number in that country in
the face Of millions of starving wretches, who
clsmor for his place at any wages that allow
escape from starvation, is q msrvelo Innocence
and ignorance.
I'm and down the British islands there are
| thousands of capable young men working at
from Is to % cents per day. The farm laborers
in Rutland county last year. many OF them, got
only 81 to 81 cents per day. The strest-cleaners
| of London, South Kensington, got only 40 to 60
| cents per day. Farmers in Rutland county
were selling good mich cows at $23 to $27 per
head, off of pasture land that rents at $40 to SIS
per acre. These are samples Of our prosper
Gus, contented and happy" British working
man.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2l.-The Decline and the
Vandalis railroad, for few days past, have been
indulging in some sharp competition for the ex-

low as half q cent a mile round-trip rates be-

Railway Tracks Torn Up.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 21.-It is reported here
that q portion OF the railroad track between
Harrison and Vicksburg has been torn up by
frightened people, in order to force trains TO
stop. There is good ground for believing the
report true. There is scarcely any fear that
any refugees viii be able to reach Louisiana or
New Orleans by river, for jackson has been
isolated, and people from there have no means
OF reaching the Mississippi rive.
Viczsburg and Natehez have both quarsntined
most strictly, and roads connecting them with
jackson have been obliged TO go out Of business
for the present. There is evidently o reign of
terror in and about jackson, and q gentleman
on his way from Birmingham to Vicksburg,
who was forced to come to New Orleans from
Meridian, said this morning that he never saw
people so frightened as are Mississippians who
are pAnic-stricken with fear that the scouree
will become general in their State. Special

the Illinois Central to carry North all who wish
70 go.
