Death of Joseph K. eraaaaa. We noticed last week the departure of Dr. and Robert Graham for their old home in Pennsylvania to attend the funeral of their brother, Joseph K. Graham, better known here as the bright and venial Karl.

He died oa the Uth of October, 1883, at the city of Bradford, in his native state, at the age of 40 years. Biuce leaving our town several years ago be has been engaged in newspaper work; previous to his death he had received a government appointment at Washington in the printing department. He was a member of she Uth Pennsylvania Regiment and saw hot and bloody scenes in the army oHhe Potomac. The following address was delivered over his grave by the captain of his company, Hon George W. Fleeger, of Butler, Pennsylvania.

MT FRtEitns It Is something unusual for a man in my profession to hare anything to say publicly In the presence of death and the open grave On such occasions it is generally left to those to speak wboe lives run on a higher, jurer, piano than ours. Under ordinary circumstances nothing would Induce me to intrude upon this custom. But my friends, when I stand at the. open grave of on ol my cum -rades of old Company one with whom I served for three years in the army, and one whose herolo courage I witnessed In aome of the bloodiest battles of the war, when under such circumstances I am requested by his friends to say something, I cannot and will not stop to question the propriety of aodoing. Willingly, cheerfully I bring my poor offering of a soldiers tribute to Kerr Graham's memory, and lay it upon his coffin lid.

Hera In the neighborhood of bis bo hood's days, and In the presence of the friends and associates his youth, here at his open grave la this quiet churchyard, here In the presence of hisaged and venerable father, his brothers, his little daughter and his friends, aad hero in the presence of Are members of his Com- fiauy, who have Just -lowered his coffin into final resting place, sua who can attest the truth nf whatl say, bear public tesUmouy to his character ms a soldier, and the fidelity with which he performed all Uie duties of a soldier during his term of rvlee. In our whole army of more than a million -of men, stretching from the Atlantic to beyond the Mississippi, I do not believe there was a braver or belter soldier than Kerr Ura-liam. This is not empty eulogy; I have said it before: said it when I never thought of saying It at his grave. Brave, manly and generous be endeared himself to all his comrades with whom he was associated. In all his soldier life, in camp, on drill, on the march, In the bivouac, aud ou the picket line, he was ever talthful In the performance of every da-ty required of him but especiaily in the Ume of danger, in the hour of battle, in the storm of the conflict did his character as a soldier shine forth resplendant.

Fearless and courageous in the deadly charge he was "foremost among the first and a 'est Of the brave." On his escutcheon as a soldier there Is na blot or stain. Jn bearing this testimony, I speak for these my oom rades as well as for myself, and I but voice the senUmentsof all thesurvlvors of Company when 1 say that the array had no braver or better soldier than hlra whose lifeless remains have been oon- signed to this grave. Iu this hourof darkness and sorrow it eertalnlymust be a source of consolation and pleasure to his aged father, broth-eraand friends to look back over his pathway, and reflect that in the hour of his country's trial bis son, their brother, and friend, though scarcely eighteen years of age, tendered hU services, his life to hi counlry; went forth to the most advanced post ot duty aad danger, and there on the bloodiest fluids of the war, served his country falthlutiy tor HE TT I tTT ITIT Tlrtfl HAIII.TI.HAS 1 X1UJJI XJJJI, 8UTPHEN ltecrijtioi Pharmacists HBPT DOOR SOUTH OF THfc BANK.

The total prohibition vote in the majority against it being Massachusetts, Mary laud, Minnesota for Its violation, yet we demand from our officers that this woman should also suffer in like manner. We met Martha Spinks last.

Tuesday noon and she handed us the following note Ml. 8TETBKKSOM Mir Will foa grant me a few moments conversation for your own benefit M. J. HrmKa. We jrr nted her request and she said she was terribly hurt over the article published that she had known us for over twenty years, and If what we had published wu true she would lose fifteen acres of good land; that she did not care for it for herself but did want it for her boy.

Sba aid not want any hard feelings between us, but she asked that we prove that which we had published. We have only this to sav: Martha Spinks is a bad woman, and we continue in our conviction that she keeps one of the worst dives in the State; that neither life, limb nor property are safe in her ranch, and that she is a strong, courageous and vindictive prostitute of the lowest order; that she is known by every polioo officer in all our neighboring towns as "Martha Spinks, the noted nigger prostitute jof Noblesville." She has been here for1 many years and has always, as far back as we can remember, kept a house of prostitution. Common report says that she "stands in" with so many of our prominent citlsens that our officers dare not arrest her, and she thus walks the streets with the strut peculiar to her class, free from the possibilities of arrest. The men who visit this or any other. bell hole of like repute are lower than the vilest inmate, and should be known and the finger of scorn pointed at them they should be cast out of society like an unclean, leprous person, for fear of pollution by the merest touch.

Martha says she will sue us for slander. It Wask her a few questions Wero your Children born in lawful wedlock, Martha? Echo answers "No," Who it the father of your liv ng child, Martha? The rcverations roll back from past years, i' Don't know Have you not been proven in the courts a common prostitute, Martha? The pages of the justice's docket answer "Yes." Don't you and the Roper girl parade our streets nightly, and whoop and yell around until the darkness Is made hid eous, and still our police officers allow this to go ou? The citizens along Rail road street all answer, "Yes." Are not the vile epithets and slang that falls from your polluted lips as you insult all classes of citizens on our streets at all hours of the day and night, proof deniable that you are what we stated, Martha? Everybody who knows you will unhesitatingly say, "Yes." Mar tha, we might continue these interoga tories, but we will wait until suit for HOellsTiistltutqd," Our Marshal aud night-watch authorize us to say that on and after to-night each and every known prostitute andev ery man or boy tound engaged In con vention with them on the streets after dark will be arrested and jailed. This should have been done long ago. -The same law that governs this action now bus been in existence for years and if it had been enforced Noblesville would not aow be a refuge for the criminals of this, class that It has become. Let them cleaned out root and branch.

We are sorry to state that Noblesville has twenty-six houses of assignation and prostitution (and only three colored dives counted) of different grades (there can be grades in such places) and they are all known to our officers of the law, yet none aref 'pulled." We have beon told, for some reason that when well- founded affidavits had been tiled against some of these women that they failed to re celve attention. If this be the case, a portion of the blame attaches to our Justices. We know the law-abiding citizens will and do uphold us in our endeavor to root out these disreputable dives of our little city. Life, liberty and honor are at stake, and it has" now become a war to the bitter end, and we know that right, law and order will prevail. We wish to call tke attention of the owners and their agents of the property rented for the purpose of prostitution, to the following law passed by the leg! lature of 1S81, and is now In full force Baoma SR.

Noblesville has long been suffering fur the sins of it erring cltizeus, both male and female, and was the first time that their names bad ever appeared in print In their proper collection and they waxed hotter and hotter the longer they thought of their evil ways as they were depicted in last week's Republican-Ledger.

Monday morning we wero interviewed in our aanotum aauctorum by Mrs. Elisabeth Hudaon, alias "Bet Slick," the keeper of "Stone Front." She was wound up to run all but we managed to slip in a word or two, when she stopped to get wind (hfe actions were like a wind mill fanning the air with her talon-liae olaws) and told her what she wanted to know. She left breathing her direst curses and maledictions upon our Unprotected bead, aud telling us that J. W. Barnes, the owner of the house In which she.

held forth, would spend every cent that ho is worth to prove her good moral character and send us up. Mrs. Hudson does not Joke. She was not. in a joaitig mood when she was talking toaUa, but she was iu earnest, and that she would like to link her long, limber talons in our wavmg locks, when she announced her new-found protector from insult: and newspaper notoriety.

But we would like to say to Mr. Barnes If he has money sutllclent to push us to the wall, he surely has money to.support a wife instead of sending her to the poor farm. We reiterate our charges, only now we can add (since we havy seen the woman) that she is a blear, sore-eyed creature, and looks like a veritable virago, and her daughter Is a brasen-faced, impudent chip of the old block.
