the rebels. when we reached the point

The torpedo struck the vessel on the port
side, just abreast the butts, and appeared
to raise the deck, through which the smoke
issued. My first impression on hearing the
report was that shot had struck the
overhang just below the water but the col

nature of the explosion.
The order to start the pumps was i'm

Trapped a Carthage Burglar.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RUSHVILLE, Ind, March John M.
Sutton, Of Carthage, was arrested this
morning at O'Clock in the act of leaving
Newson's store with a load Of stolen goods.
His arrest was effected by Ed n. Hill,
William Wallace and man named Bell.
Hill had previously received notice that the
store was to be robbed. Sutton had made
q proposition to an acquaintance to ac-
company him on the raid and the fellow
consented. The, supposed pal, instead of
taking part in the robbery, laid the whole
business before Mr.. Hill, who planned to
capture Sutton. Armed to kill, Hill and his
men posted themselves near the front door.
AS Sutton put in appearance with his plum
der he loked into two revolvers and a
shotgun He surrendered and confessed. He
is thirty-five years and has not borne any
too good a reputation. Mr.. Hill, who is the
manager of the y. S. board and paper mill
at Carthage and a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for. representative,
has made quite hit with the people in
capturing Sutton. Carthage has suffered
some time from burglars.
