W. W. Durand left Barnum's show lone enough, last week, to

come down and visit the best town in Southern Indiana Bloomington.

The houses being built in tbe Dunn Addition are, as a rule,

quite small, while those under contract on the west side are large, handsome and expensive.

Thirteen hundred men are now employed in the car works at

Jeffersonville, and within the next two weeks the force will be increased to eighteen hundred. Gamel Peterson has moved his saw-mill to town, east of Showers' Bros, bedstead factory, and is

now sawing logs, a large number of which are on the ground. Langtry in twenty-four weeks drew $230,000 out of the American pockets. It is said her object is to retrieve her husbad's lost for

tune. As a retriever she may be regarded as a success.

Bedford Banner : Last Thurs

day Garrison McFall while fishing

in Salt Creek near Rawlins' mill,

caught a sturgeon which weighed

fifty pounds. This is tbe biggest

take in the fish line we have heard of this summer.

President Young has issued

an order uiscontinuipg bunday trains, and freight trains will be

ruu ouly for carrying perishable

goods. He is opposed also to Sunday excursion trains, it is under

stood, and will discourage their running.

Arthur thinks fishing in Flor

ida is a fraud. The worst bites be

got were from the mosquitoes, and about the only thing he caught,

worth mentioning, was a big cold.

For the remainder of the season he

will fish in the White House aqua-: rium. 1

Workmen are putting a new

stone front and cornice on the old

his brick business room ; W. W. Durand is preparing to build a sec

ond story on his corner room ; a

half a square oi fine business rooms are going up in the burnt district.

All these on the public square.

Now that the "boom" is 'boorniDg" we are requested to

call attention to tbe fact that the

McCalla factory, on the railroad,

south of town, offers unequalled advantages in manufacturing, both

by reason of its location and be

cause of the superiority of the ma

chinery it contains. The manufacture of the single article of tables

bas been suggested as a profitable

enterprise, and one that could eas

ily be introduced.

We have the largest and most complete stock of dress trimmings in the city. Call and

see it. JNo trouble to show goods or wait on customers, at the Bee

Hive.

We are quite sure it would pay every mother to look at Mose Kahn's stock of children's fine suits, 88 he has the best goods in this line in the country. I extend to every clothing buyer in Monroe county a special invitation to call and get our prices on clothing, as I can save money for you. Mose Kahn.

The City Council is composed of first-class men. Hill and Waldron of tbe 1st ward represent sev

eral hundred thousand dollars of

real estate and personal property; Shoemaker and McGee of the 2d ward are enterprising, energetic citizens, while Griffy and Hoover

of the 3d ward are employing mechanics architects of their own fortunes and combine sagacity with practical judgment, Taken all in all it is a good council. Charley Alexander came near committing a cold blooded murder one night last week, upon a fellowcreature who was only taking a handful of bone-dust to place in bis vest pocket as a substitue for snuff. The watchman saw the man first and riddled his carcass with bullets, killing him on the spot. Then as he darted around to the west side of Dunn & Co.'s store, Alexander opened fire on bim with a nine-shooter and killed him again. Charley is now trying to get an appointment on the police force, claiming that he can kill a burglar just as easy where he isnt as where he is. Thai ought to be a sufficient recommendation. A fine new residence in Bedford, owned by Lee Dinkelspiel, was burned to the ground at 11 o'clock Tuesday of last week. The house was valued at $8,000 insurance $3,500. They have never owned a fire engine of any kind in Bedford, and there are no fire cisterns. There is nothing with

which to fierht fire but a pair of

hooks and a ladder or two. During the past year about a a car-load of old rubber shoes have been gathered op in Bloomington and vicinity, and shipped to eastern cities. These old down-at-the-heel bad smelling shoes, are in great demand, we are informed, by the manufacturers of tola chewing gums as the rubber is melted in large kettles, and after being sweetened and scented, is run into those little cakes so much prized by Bloomington schsol girls. The old rubber is preferred to the new because it goes through a sweat, while on the feet, which makes it tender and toothsome. Those shoes and boots that have been worn next the feet are preferred to those that have been used as overshoes, and command five cents more on the pound. One evening last week Wm. McPhetridge, the famous house mover, met with a serious accident. He attempted to get on bis horse which had just been taken from a wagon, when he fell, becoming entangled in the harness. The horse became frightened and dragged him a short distance kicking him twice. He was bruised up considerably and had a couple 6f gashes cut in the bead and face. His condition is not dangerous. The city election was a somewhat quiet affair, except la the 2d ward, where Geo. Walker, a colored man, was brought out against B. A. McGee, the regular short term nominee, and J. W. Shoemaker was a candidate for the long term against Wilson Adams. McGee however, was elected by 105 majority, but Shoemaker defeated Adams by a bare majority of 2 votes. Geo. Reeves was run pretty close, too, 8 will be seen by the figures given below, his majority over Smith being but 17 votes. Tbe vote in each ward was as follows : First Second Third Mayor Ward. Ward.

Jas. Showers and wife, and Mrs. Wm. Stuart, went to Indi

anapolis, on Tuesday night of last

week. Jas. Murphy, a colored man,

died at his home in the southeastern

part of town, Sunday a week, with dropsy.

The Beecher Telephone sys

tem will be introduced in this place, if a sufficient amount of stock can be sold.

Postmaster Stevenson and

Cbas. Stimpson of Ellettsville, and

W. P. Rogers of Bloomington,

were in Indianapolis last week.

The Leffler Brothers, accom

panied by Miss Clara Leffler, went to Corydon on a visit to old friends,

last week. Dr. Crane has gone to Dalton,

Ga., a dispatch having been sent to

him announcing that the death of

Mrs. Browning was momentarily expected. The family of A. D. Lemon, for the past ten years residing in Phoenix, Arizona, have returned to this State, and will reside in Bloomington. Mr. Lemon will remain in Arizona for the present. Miss Hoyt delivered several lectures in Bloomington last week to

attentive audiences. Miss Hoyt is an enthusiastic worker for prohibition, and is making a thorough canvass of the State. She has vis

ited seventy counties. Geo. Lampkins received $400 in pension recently on account of the diseased condition of his eyes. He will receive about three times that amount for wounds. . George was literally shot to pieces while in the Government's service. Hostetler of the Bedford Ban-

ntr came up to this city last week,

and put in the time riding on the street railroad, looking at the factories, and dodging the bricks that fell from the numerous new buildings. Doc is making the Banner "wave" for the Lawrence county Democracy. The jury in Robt. Overman's suit against the railroad company, awarded that gentleman $150 damages. Col. Friedley, attorney for the company, bad made a written tender of that amount to Mr. Overman before the trial was begun, and we learn that under the practice in this state, this result throws the costs on the plaintiff. A number of people from Lawrence county, witnesses in the Overman suit against tbe railroad

company, were in town last week.

It was interesting to note the surprise they exhibited after examin

ing the forty or fifty new buildings now in various stages oi erection in Bloomington. Our people bave become used to this thing, and regard it as a matter of course. It is a genuine "boom" however.

Charley Turner has formed

a partnership with T. N. Matthews, in the furniture business, and the firm will occupy the new brick

room west of the "Boss" clothing

store, when completed. The Frogrtm wishes Mr. Turner good for

tune, as he is an upright young business man.

Asher was awarded the third

place, at the inter-state oratorical

contest, in Minneapolis, Minn.

After forming a combination with some colored men in tbe 2d ward, by which, they agreed to vote for George Walker, the Democrats went back on him to a man.

Everything in tbe house is of the latest styles and patterns.

Dry Goods are cheaper in the wholesale market, than usual, and Len. S. Field & Co. have bought their stock so low thut they can give part of it away, and Mr.Ficld bays they are doing this.

Wool will open op low this year as low as 20c for clean wool. Tho wife of Capt. Friedley was on a visit to friends in Bloomington, last week. The Gosport Public schools have closed, and Miss Mattie Small is home for the summer. John Waldron jr. has been making an extended trip in the interest of the Bloomington chair factory. . Hon. R. W. Miers has been occupying the Bench since Friday,

in Circuit Court, The case of

Shanks vs. the L. N. A. & Crailway was beard by bim. New coal cars have been passing north for other roads, almost every day during the past week. They are built at the Jeffersonville, car works, in which establishment 1800 men are employed. The Seward Foundry received a large quantity of pig iron, one day last week, and active operations will begin at once in this establishment. A quantity of new work is now on the books of the firm, and the repairing business promises to be nucommonly large and profitable. Mrs. Fannie Young and her son Mart, arrived in Bloomington from Florida, on the noon train, Monday a week, and on Tuesday Miss Belle Young arrived. Mrs. Young sold her property in Gainesville, and will remain in Bloomington, At Hindustan, this couuty recently, Dunn's store was broken into and robbed. The thieves pried tbe door open with an axe taken from Chas. Core's woodhouse, and got forty dollars in money, besides a bolt of jeans, two bolts of calico, shirts, hoods, shawls, boots and notions, making a good haul for the place. Thos. MuIIikin, after a long and painful illness, with dropsy died at the home ot his son-in-law in Columbus, Kansas, last Wednesday. Mr. Mullikin came to Bloomiogton from Franklin, Ind. and the remains were taken to the latter place for burial. No Kentucky gentleman can feel a proper degree of respect for himself whose stomach does' not contain several drinks of Robinson county whisky, and whose hip pocket does not carry a self-cockiog revolver. This is illustrated by the affair at Harrodsburg Junction, Ky., last week, between Thompson and Davis, in which the latter was killed, because a woman bad reported to Thompson that Davis and Mrs. Thompson had got drunk together. That is all that was proved. Thompson committed a cold-blooded murder, and in a community where whisky and revolvers are not law, would get his just deserts a cold-blooded hanging. It seems to the Progress that the six acres of ground donated for the location of a round house in this vicinity, is a sufficient inducement if an inducement is needed. The shop, when located here in other days, employed four or five bauds, and it is not reasonable to suppose that the force would be augmented under tho present management. The division headquarters will not be located where the inconvenience to the railroad company is very great. If people must contribute let it be to some manufacturing enterprise that needs assistance, and not to a wealthy corporation, for outside of three or four Individuals, there are no wealthy people in Monroe county.
