The Fremont Weekly Journal, 1875-06-25

-tions Much has been said regarding this affair, and many conflicting reports cir- . diluted. We have taken sjms pains to get what we consider a correct report of it, which we submit to our realers. Last week Monday evening the Mar shal at Clyde, Mr. Molconi, was notified' . that there was a man, laving in the de- pot drnuU nnJ that he ;honU 09 taker care ol. He proceeded at once there. and found the man laying on the bench in a state ot ueostly intoxication, with . nis ciotuing uadlv disarranged and per person - son person exposed. He shook him and en endeavored - deavored endeavored to arouse him thinking to Ret " him upon the train for Tiffin, but it waa of no avail, the man could not stand up-' . on his feet, and he was taken to the cal- ' aboose. The next morning (Tuesday) -he was taken before his honor, Mayor Perrin and fined $3;00 and costs, and in default of payment he was again seafc back to the calaboose. Here he re re-mained - mained re-mained Tuesday and Wednesday, and Thursday morning Mr. Mttlcom discov--! ered that there was something wronir with him and told Mayor Perrin that her, was either drunk or crazy. Perrin in instructed - structed instructed the Marshal to tell him if ha would promise to leave town that ho would be set at liberty. This was com communicated - municated communicated to the man, .but no promise could be got from him. He was. how-' ever let out to go where he wished. During Thursday afternoon he wan wan-down - down wan-down town no less than three times, and returned to the calaboose of his own free will. Toward night Mr. Maloom.' discovered that he appeared to be worsa and called Dr. Soper in to- look, at him. The doctor after looking at him. said:' "The man is all burned out. and the best thing you. can do is- to open the . door and let him out so he can make up a nest to die." Dr: Hamden was called who also said h had Delirium Tremens.,' Dr. Eaton was also called who said the same thing. The Marilial then saw Mr., Lefever, one of the township trustees. and by him was instructed to have Ea Eaton - ton Eaton render any and all assistance in hia power to the man. Dr. Eaton gave him medicine and also told Malcom to give him a good drink of whisky, and by the' time the train came in going South be probably could be sent to Tiffin, where ha -had f riend3 living, The whisky was provided and given to him. Lefever told Maloom to let him remain there un until - til until the train was dae, so he would know where to find him. and then went to the depot and procured a ticket to take thai man to Tiffin. On Malcom going to take him to the train, he found him by the privy, in the back room.. A light, was struck, and he was discovered to be litorarly wallowinp- in filth. Mr. Mal com picked him np and carried him into tne front apartment andi laid him upon a blanket, and immediately went to the depot and informed Mr. Lefever of his condition, requesting him to see him. in reply to this Mr. Lefever said "he had no other place foe him." Mr. Mal Malcom - com Malcom then remained with, and took care of him as. long as he- could, an j leaving mm witn xfetet .Hubert, and once more went to see Mr. Lefever, this time at hia house and told him. that he "must find a lace for him and a man to take care of um, as he could not take care of him all day and all night; Arrangements were made with Pete Hubert who was to re main with him the balance of the night. inis was nt ten o clock. At ten forty forty-five - five forty-five Mr. Malcom again wout to see him. and thought he appeared worse. At ten minutes alter 2 Mr. Malcom was aroused from sleep by Dr. Eaton, who told him the man was dead, 'i'he-v then carried the body to the Engine House where it was laid out. That the man suffered for want of victuals, water or air is false. Good victuals were carried to him three times each day and fresh water the same. That he smothered is also false, as dur during - ing during Thursday, dsy and night he had- with the exception of a few minutes, perfect liberty to go where he pleased, and during this time the marshal was with him nearly all the time. That he died in the calaboose is also falsa, as he was taken out, and as before stated went where he pleased, during the en entire - tire entire day. That the calaboose was filthy the next day, no one denies, as how un under - der under the circumstances could it be other otherwise? - wise? otherwise? A statement is going the rounds that no man could live in this place. To show how false this is, we have only to call attention to the case of J. Hol Hol-brook - brook Hol-brook who was to reoaain in the place three days, not long since. Some well disposed man pitying him, sent him dollar to pay for the hut day, which he put iu his pocket, choosing to keep the money and remained in the time out. If there is any blame to rest upon any one in this matter, it certainly is not up upon - on upon those who did their best to take care of the unfortunate man, but to those in Clyde who sold him the liquor to make him drunk and who have been so very anxious to place all blame in vhe matter upon the authorities.

The Commencements of the Ohio Wesleyan University and the Ohio Wes Wes-leyan - leyan Wes-leyan Female College at Delaware, both occur next week.

On Monday night of last week, some person entered off the office of the Chroni cle, at Norwalk, and carried the electro type heading of the paper and other ar articles, - ticles, articles, of no valne to any person but the publisher. The object of the thief is unknown. J Van Valkenburg says we accused Hop Hop-ley - ley Hop-ley of carrying a private bottle while at Columbus. We did not say private bottle, but a private glass a spyglass which answered the purpose. At least quite a number tried it, and didn't make any rye faces, either. Piatt Brash has put down a splendid flag stone pavement along the Wayne street in front of his residence, and made himself alike a subject of admiration and onvy to his neighbors. We would sug suggest - gest suggest to him, however, to continue the good work, on his Birchard Avenue front. The amount of the funded debt of Ohio is 37,98(5,135,30.

The total levy for all State pnposes last year was three and two-tenth mills. On Wednesday evening of last week, a man named Joel Loose, iiving at Flat Bock hung himself with a hitching strap to a beam in his barn. No cause is - as signed for the act. . He was, however, somewhat intemperate in his habits, and it is supposed he had been drinking on the day when he committed the fatal deed. When we meet Bro.

(2) They disavow the existence of matter. (3) They re ject an outward revelation. (4) They repudiate the notion of sin. (-3) They scorn the idea of man's looking away from himself to a Bedeemer.

Regrets are useless things, it is said, and yet we regret veiy much that we could not take advantage of ' the kind in invitation - vitation invitation of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company, to- accom accompany - pany accompany an editorial excursion from Toledo to Grenada, Colorado.

The rather strange circumstanoe ol a freight train standing on the main track of a railroad, with all hands asleep on the oars, was seen south of Fredericktown, Knox county, Ohio, a few days ago. An express train hove insight, the engineer of which seeing the train at a stand still ahead, with no sign of life about it, checked his train and went on foot to explore. The engineer, brakemen, con ductor and nreman were waked up, but had no excuse to offer for the manifest neglect of duty. The train was shifted to the side traok to let the express go by.
