Hnm-mond, Proves to Have Been a Soiled Oue.Several days ago the Express reproduced from the Indianapolis Journal an account of a scene at the Union depot in that city, in which Madame Hammond, a bagnio keeperof this city, figured largely, it being charged that she had abducted a young and innocent girl of Columbus, Ohio, for purposes of prostitution. Chief Vandeverimmediately wrote to the Chief of Police of Columbus for the true facts in the case, and yesterday received thefollowing answer:Columbus, 0., Jan. 15,1883.C. E. Vandever, Chief of Police, Terre Haute, Indiana.Sir:—Your favor of the 13th is received. In reference to the girl, Mc-M add us, she is well known here, and although young in years, is old in sin. She is one of the lowest prostitutes in the city; her right name is Emma Patterson’; I am very sorry Madam Hammond did not succeed in taking her through. If her trade demands it we would be glad to afford her facilitiesfor ridding this city of a score of th.e same sort. I enclose a slip cut from the Evening Times, which may enlighten our humane Indianapolis friends of the true status of the case.Yours truly,Sam Thompson, Superintendent of Police.The extract alluded to in the letter reads as follows: “Chief Thompsonto-day received word from Chief Vandever, of Terre Haute, detailing how Madame Hammond, the well-knownprocuress, now residing in TerreHaute, had enticed an innocent (?) young girl from her home in the country near Columbus, to lead a life of shame in the bagnio of the Hammond. An investigation shows that the girl is a well-known prostitute belonging to this city, and the tears shed in Indianapolis over the downward career of the cherub, were probably out of place. At that city, the girl told her story, and she was sent back to Columbus by the marshal of Indianapolis, who paid her wav back to her home.’’Louisr.*in St.irse of hands o pro-mmp.Aving : theme a iow in !r good d this eekedore ofv the gress, it op-Indi-lute.”then l then ac-i thatf the!.vani - ‘ ajori-Trotting Association.The stockholders of the Vigo Trotting association, who had charge of last spring’s races, despite the heavy expenses incurred, the bad weather, etc., cleared S10 apiece on the meeting,and had about 840 left in the treasury.The spring races this year will not require such a heavy outlay, and theprospects of a successful meeting are thereby increased. A petition is to be circulated, asking the county commissioners to make an apprapriation for the purpose of rebuilding the stables at the fair grounds, to be done before the races. Several changes in the circuit are contemplated, which will increase the prospects for an attendance of the best racers in the country. With one or two of the smaller towns dropped, and larger ones added, and a liberal premium list, the people of Terre Haute and other cities in the circuit can expect some interesting sport during the coming spring and summer.rer tol In• 1 • t/ 11 i %Reclaiming Land.A number of the leading farmers onthe Wet Prairie, in the vicinity ofRosedale, are circulating a petition toraise a stipulated amount to be usedin digging ditches to drain the marshy land, and thereby reclaim it for cultivation.
