THEBACIXO EVEJJTS YESTER PA V—THE A WARM THAI HAVE BEEN MADE—THE PROOBAMME OP TO-©AV'S CELEBRATION.

The attendance yestenlav and to-day at the fair was unprecedented. .Since the opening day the gate receipts have surpassed all former yeans. One exhibitor who usually attend* the state fair declared that Vigo's fair this year is better than that at Indianapolis. In point of display nothing is certainly lacking.

From earlv morning the streets have been thronged. Even before the busy city was astir numerous farm wagons and carriages were rolling in the direction of the fair. Everywhere were evidences of activity and every one seemed Ixjund for the big fair. Hejorts from the grounds were to the effect that the attendance would, in all probability exceed tliat of "big Thursday" of last year. A constant stream has leen going "through the gates and owing to the rush it is impossible to estimate the total of to-day's attendant®. To-dav is not the city's big day, but for all, thousands went out in all kinds of conveyances.

The committees are hard at work and are making awards as rapidly as possible. Owing to the immense displays it became necessary to appoint more committees and divide the work. In consequence it iH 1|uite far advanced and is rapidly nearing completion.

THE RACES.

A SUPERB SEWING DISPLAY.

SAMPLES OF WHAT THE WOHOEHFUL WHITE MA CHINE CAN ACCOMPUSH.

How Mr. J. N. Hickman arranged such a gorgeous display of work done on the White sewing machine, the king of all machines, is wondered at by all who look at the magnificent work "in the north wing of the Exposition hall. The work is simply marvellous and is the finest ever exhibited, without exception. The number of assistants operate machines in full view, showing the throng how rapidly, and how accurately the most difficult work can be done". Those who have seen the display universally accord Mr Hickman and the White all the honors.

The display is too large to be described in detail. There are a number of fine specimens of "etching," done on bolting cloth, all the delicate shades being made on the machine that can be produced by the artist's brush. The design of horse heads is a remarkable example of this kind of work. Numerous curtains adorn the background, beautifully draped. A curtain of delicate cloth with Martha Washington geraniums, and another with Japanese lilies are beautifully made. No style of hand embroidery, no matter how difficult, but can be duplicated on the White. Roman embroidery, latest design, ifi on exhibition. There are also specimens of arrasene embroidery On silk, couching, hemstitching, applique work, etc., etc. The frog banner attracts attention. The display certainly entitles the White to its claim: "The White is King/' Mr. Hickman is to le congratulated on his display.

A FINE EXHIBIT.

SOME OF THE SPECIALTIES SHOWN BV THE TOWNUEY STOVE

Co,

Just to the right of the east entrance to Exhibition hall Mr. Albert Harstine has very artistically arranged a display for the Townley Stove Co. The enameled, copper, brass and tinware are displayed on an incline, which serves the purpose of displaying each article to advantage. Arranged back of this are their finestoves and furnaces set oft' on one end by an Alaska refrigerator and on the other by a combination slate and tile mantle. Hie merits of the former are demonstrated by a fan wheel placed inside of a closed door and which is made to revolve by means of the current of cold, drv air, the effect of which upon the usual contents of a refrigerator can easily be imagined. An attractive center to the display is a huge Patric furnace which has the jmerit of being arranged to burn either soft- or hard coal, and with .equally good results from either. Other special articles combining the useful and ornamental are a combination Dangler vapor stove, which jiermits of the use of one burner or all as desired an Orient open front stove arranged for natural gas, and a prominent display of samples of their different styles of roofing—slate, tin, iron and cheap*eody.

The voting people are particularly attracted to the display by the handsome tov sto\e which is "valued at $8, and which is to be given away to the girl under 12 years of age who, before Monday noon, Septemlier 2, Hands in the greatest number of correct words arranged ouj of the twenty-six letters found in the wafds "Townley Stove Co., (000) Wabt avenue.

J. F. ERMISCH'S DISPLAY.

THE RESULTS OF A SPECIAL CHEMICAL PROCESS IN THE CLEANING ANO DYEING OF MEN'S CLOTHINQ.

One of the principal attractions in the art room is Mr. Ermisch's display of dif ferent articles of wearing apparel—ranging from a lady's fine silk dress to a gentleman's woolen Ipantaloons—after they have passed through his special chemical process of cleaning and dyeing. In order to show to better advantage the remarkable results attained by his work, he exhibits a few articles, part of the goods in which show their condition when re ceived and the remainder, the result of his expert handling. Mr. Ermisch has given special attention to the renovation of gents clothing and such a degree of perfection has he reached in this line that he is enabled now to take the most dilapidated suits and turn them out a complete surprise to their owner, so near do hey resemble the goods when new. To show the artistic point which Mr. Ermisch has reached, he has on exhibition a number of fine feathers that have been cleaned and dved. showing the most deljcate tints blended with the eye of an artist, one large plume having his name distinctly outline*! in the coloring. A visit to his department on east center of the hall will be well repaid.

ZIMMERMAN'S DISPLAY.

FINK LINK OF STOVES ANO RANGES ATTRACTIVELY ARRANGED.

The display arranged by Mr. George S. Zimmerman, on the west side of Exhibition Hall, is attracting its share of attention. One end of the semi-circle starts with a large Home Comfort hot air furnace, the principal and popular merit of which lies in the riveted steel

HERATHER FEELS THATWAY.

COMMISSIONER DICKERSON HAS HIS EAR TO THE GROUND.

J|§§^:

"The time for the commencement of tlie construction of the draw in the county bridge has been delayed for about ten days," said Commissioner Diekerson this morning, "but that will not interfere with the time of completion, as electric lights will be run to tne draw and work will continue night and day." Mr. Diekerson said in regard to the interviews published in the NEWS that those merchants who wanted a free ferry aid not understand the true state of affaire ana when the NEWS representative reminded him that a true statement in regard to the cost of bridge, ferriage and amount of taxes paid by people on each side of the river nad appeared in the colnms of the NEWS and tnat merchants had b*jen interviewed after its publication he was checkmated, and could only quote half dozen men who were not in favor of a ferry against one hundred published by the NEWS, who wanted, in fact, demanded a free ferry. He said tha|t he wanted to please the people, and when asked if he aid not think a free ferfy would meet the people's pleasure, he replied that he rather thought it would. WSen further pursued by the persistent questioner and asked if he thought that we would have a free ferrv, he replied, gooid humoredly, "that lie rather felt that way now," Mr. Diekerson said "that he would not be driven or bulldozed into anything." It has not been the policy of the NEWS to bulldoze the commissioners into giving the county a free ferry, but simply to snow that the people desired it, and that it was for the good of the city that farmers be not kept from the city by ferry charges. The bridge crossing the Wabash is not an every day benefit to the entire county. It is the city that derives the benefit from over the river trade and the city should have the great voice in deciding whether the ferry be free or not. That the principal business men desire a free ferry has been shown to the commissioners.

Sant Henderson has not come in to the fair and the NEWS man has not been able to secure an interview with him.

PRESIDENT HARRISON CONSIDERING THE 8UBJECT MATTER OF HIS NEXT MESSAGE, WASHINGTON, August 28.—[Special.]

Six weeks ago the President had practically decided to call Congress together between October 15 and November 1. Now he is undecided. One fact which influences the President against an extra session is his timidity about his message. He finds, now that he has begun to concentrate his thoughts upon tne subject, that he has no settled policy. He is actually nervous about the message. He feels called upon to say something about civil service reform,* and finds it an exceedingly delicate question, for the reason that the practice of his administration has been largely at variance with his own in the inauzu also feels that nil

Los AXGELOS, Cal., August 29.—[Special].—There was great excitement at San Juan Capistrino, over he kidnapping of a young girl named Marie Hobone by the noted bandit, Sylvester Morales. The girl is 17 years of age. Morales was seen carrying her off on horseback and vigorous pursuit was oiganized. The bandits horse gave out ana he entered the stable of Henry Charles, one of the wealthiest men in the county, intending to steal the horse. Charles was in the stable and was shot dead. The father of the girl accompanied the officers to the scene of the murder to endeavor to find some trace of his daughter. He said the girl had never seen Morales until last Wednesday night when he came to the house at San Diequito, thirty miles north of San Diego and entered the house where she was in bed. He drew a six shooter and compelled her to dress, mount a horse and ride away with him. Thursday afternoon Morales rode to the door of a store in Visita, San Diego county, leaving the jgirl and horse while he bought crackers and sardines. Friday they were seen going toward San Juan and were chased by an officer who captured one horse and the girl's clothing. No further clew to the bandit's whereabouts was found until Sunday afternoon, when Morales rode through San Fernando several miles north of the scene of Saturday's tragedv.

Morales was riding one horse and leading another and was armed with a Winchester rifle and two six-shooters. He was recognized by an officer, who pursued him, but Morales soon disappeared, leaving the horse he was feiading and turned back toward San Diego Canon, where he was seen late at night with the girl on horseback, going to wan! Trabura Canon. Morales has sworn lie will not be taken alive. He is a dead shot, and sheriffs do not like to come into close, quarters with him. The latest reports are that he is surrounded in the canon near Santa Anna, and an extra posse has gone out to help the sheriff.
