ViCE IN TERRE HAUTE
PLAIN WORDS FROM FIRST BAP TIST MINISTER.
FALL OF MAN HERE AT HOME
^Gambling, Drifiking and Lust the More General Vices Which Bring Woe and Remorse.
Kev. Kittredge Wheeler, of Chicago preached two strong sermons at the Kirst Baptist church yesterday. He will be here agsiin next Sunday and pro bably will be temporary supply until a .young minister is chosen to head the con gregation. Kev. Mr. Wheeler's evening "'subject was "The Full of Man in Terre "Haute."
He said in part: "Many are today living in the lower nature—in the fleshly animal life, and this is often the character of temptation of sin to drag man down out of the higher realm where he is like God, and to bring under the bondage of material laws under the bond age of the flesh. The nature of sin, often is to make an animal of man—to bring him under the dominion of animal appetites the power of physical habits —the thralidom of the flesh! "You have seen advertisements of medical remedies showing the patient 'before and after.' I have seen that scores of times in the changed lives of those who take Jesus Christ as helper. "T saw in the oast an illustrated lecture given by a missionary, who had been many years among the heathen, and in this lecture he showed the •faces, the photographs of the heathen before they knew Jesus—before they believed in him. and after. What an uplift these, poor men had in Jesus
Christ! How low, heavy, sordid, gross I bestial they were in their idolatry. "The expression—The Fall of Man. not a bad one. It is full of force, and is graphic in its imagery. "True in the beginning when man
(ifirst
sinned, true everywhere, true ail ages in all history, true now. "Quo Vadis in its setting is not overdrawn and shows how low men had fn 1len in those okl Roman days. In the f/excavations of Pompeii, many things, 'dug up out of the ruins there, must be hidden away from the light of day. The excavations show the shameful sins, the fall of'man in Pompeii: in this fashionable summer resort of Roman prodigali ty and lfoman lust—fallen low—was man in this fashionable watering place of an early day. "The newspaper headlines tomorrow will tell the story of man's fall! The police court, the justice's courts tell the fall of man!
The public hospitals and the contagious wards, on the upper floors—show how low man has fallen in his sin. I looked for men here on your streets whom I knew once, but they are gone. They have fallen out of the ranks.. One died a drunkard one went down in lust and shame and secret sin one died of moral leprosy. I see that man has fallen here in Terre Haute—as everywhere—from the result of sin.
Profanity and impure speech—is that up or down? I met three young men last week. They were drinking, swearing. talking aooufc saloons, gambling, and all forms of sin. Everything about these young men showed their fall. Profanity, gambling, drinking—these are three of the common sins that curse this city and the young men of the land.
And then that nameless, shateieless sin—'Which drags body and soul into hell.
SOUTH BEND'S DILEMMA.
Both Oliver and Studebaker Offered New Y. M. C. A. Home and Then Withdrew Gift
The South Bend Y. M. C. A. is as much at ,a loss for a new association building now as it was several months ago. At a meeting of the Y. M. C. A. directors Friday morning James Oliver and J. M. Stuaebaker, Sri, each offered- the association a new home. Studebaker would present the Y. M. C. A. with the Indiana Club property and $15,000 for needed improvements, while Oliver de--sired to build an entirely new home, 'modern and elegant, as a memorial to his wife. The directors were at a loss to know what to do called another meeting for Friday night. Then both of the great financiers withdrew their offers. Mr. Studebaker explained that Mr. Oliver was the older man and desired to erect a monument to his deceased wife so in order to relieve all embarrassment he would withdraw the offer of the Indiana Club property. In withdrawing his offer Mr. Oliver pays a high compliment to Mr. Studebaker and predicts signal success if Mr. Studebaker renews his offer. •_

GOAL MAY BE SCARCE
TEN DAYS MAY SEE FAMINE IN THIS SEGTION.
SEVERAL CAUSES ARE GIVEN
Inability of the Railroads to Handle Business has Relaxed the Energy of Operators and Miners.
That the supply of soft coal from Indiana is to be lessened in the next 'week or ten days is the belief of operators and railroad oflicials. The latter have manifested their belief by confiscating even more cars of coal than usual. The railroad oflicials anticipated idleness at the mines that would not alone be due to the cause prevailing for a month or more, that of lack of traffic facilities. They counted upon the custom of many miners to make the Christmas holiday continue, over New
Year. The miners, on the other hand, feel justified in laying off because at many mines they have been getting in only a fraction of time, notwithstanding the operators as well as themselves wanted them employed full time. The operators could not send the men into the mines when there were no ears on which to load coal and loaded cars vere waiting motive power to be taken to market. At one big block coal mine more than 200 men got only two halt day's work last week, whereas should all have worked eight hours a day for six days the operators would not have filled all orders on hand. It has not been only the distant markets which waited in vain for coal. At Paris, 111., Christmas morning, there was not 100 pounds of coal in all yards of the dealers. Two carloads were coupled on a* fast through freight when it stopped here and carried to Paris, eighteen miles from the coaF field.
The Indiana operators deny that there is likely to be a still further advance in the price of coal at the mines. The price now is double what it was a year ago at this time and the operators feel that they hardly dare push it further, however, readily they might dispose of what product they could get to market.
A,RM CRUSHED OFF.
Man Working in Big Four Cinder Pit Meets With Terrible Accident Yesterday.
William B. VanWert while working in the cinder pit at the Big Four roundhouse yesterday evening had his arm crushed just above the elbow through the unexpected starting of an engine. The wound was so bad that the arm had to be amputated,.
VanWert had his arm across the track, just in front of the wheels of the locomotive, and suddenly it was started without warning, crushing his arm so that it had to be amputated. On his way to St. Anthony's hospital he asked that his wife he sent for, she being in Bowling Green spending the holidays. She will likely reach here t^xlay. VanWert lived at 055 North Fifth street.
Rev. Tinsley to Receive^ Rev. Charles W. Tinsley. pastor of Centenary M. E. church, and wife, will keep open house at t.hpir residence on North Seventh street. New Year's afternoon. The home will be opp-n to all members of Centenary church and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Tinsley.

JOHN R. WALSH'S PLAN
\^!rr
EVANSVILLE CORDIALLY RECEIVES THE RAILROAD Blm-SER..
BUSINESS MEN LEND AID
Will Do Everything Possible to Facilitate the Early Arrival of the Walsh Road There.
The Sunday Journal-News of Evansville says:
1
The announcement nearly three weeks ago that John R. Walsh intended to exfend his Southern Indiana road from minora to this city, a distance of seventytwo miles, thus giving another line between here and Terre Haute, the business men of this city have taken kindly to the proposition, and it is said: that when Mr. Walsh comes here to seek entrance to the city he will be met with the greatest of encouragement from the citizens of Evansville. That feeling will be manifested whether Mr. Walsh asks for right of way into the city or enters by way of the llinois Central and lands at the new L. & N. station.
Should the Southern ndiana come to Evansville—and utr. Walsh says it will and has had a route surveyed—this city wili be given another through line to Chicago. Articles of incorporation have already been lilect for a road from Terre Haute to East- Chicago. The route lias been surveyed. Some Michigan Central men were named as incorporators, but it is understood that it is a part of the Walsh plans. Tt will lie only a few miles longer, if longer at all. than the Chicago and Eastern Illinois. From Terre Haute to Elnora. a distance of forty miles, the Southern Indiana is already built ^nd in operation.
The., Southern Indiana is the old Evansville & Richmond road, built by D. J. Maekey. of tliis cjtv, in his ptilivtv days of railroading, but under its original ownership was a poor piece of property and a dead losor. It was known as the road that "began nowhere and ended nowhere," and on numerous occasions it was so badly crippled as a result of hard rains or high water that it was abandoned entirely.
NEIGHBORHOOD MISTAKE.
Some Thought That Newlin was Abusing His Family—Was only Cleaning a Chicken.
Louis Reiclunan sent in a call for the patrol wagon from North Fifteenth and One-Half street last evening, because he thought that William Newlin, living at 2424, was intoxicated and was beating his wife and child.
The fact of the matter was that Newlin was cleaning a chicken and stepped upon the baby, playing on the floor. The youngster held its breath so long in crying that it fainted, and, in the excitement following, a great deal of commotion was caused, arousing the neighbors and leading them to believe that Newlin was abusing his wife.
Engine Hits Trolley Car. BALTIMORE, Md„ Dec. 29—A locomotive on the B. and O. struck a trolley car Saturday night at the Ridgley street crossing near Camden station. An unlden tilled man, a passenger on the troll was killed outright and the motorman, Philip Hendricks, sustained probably fatal injuries. Four passengers were badly hurt.

WERE PLAYING POKER.
Boys Were Gambling in the Vigo Bowling Alleys and Police Raided the Place.
After Rearing a number of complaints of boys being allowed to gamble at the Vigo bowling alleys on Ohio sireet, near Third, Sergeant Stoccker dropped into the place, unexpectedly last night and found three boys playing a little game of "penny ante." They were William Kane, aged 19, 310y2 Ohio street James Arnold, aged 14, 224 North Second street, and Walter Barrett, aged 19. They were all three placed under arrest and taken to headquarters with Edgar Coffey, who runs the placc. Coffey was charged with keeping a gaming house. Captain Beattie released the four to appear in police court this morning. So far all men arrested for gambling or running gaming houses have escaped punishment after being arrested. Of the thirty or more gambling rooms in Terre Haute, it is said that but three or four refuse to allow'boys and young men to take part in the gamos,* acting on the theory that their money is as good as that lost by anyone else.
RAFFLED A WATCH.
George Burke Held the Lucky Number .at the Orpheon Theater Last Night.
George Burke, of 222 Wabash avenue. drew the watch raffled at the OTpheon theater last night. Ray Bookout, a Terre Haute boy, made a decided hit with his fine banjo playing and "Jimmy" Grayson of Saline City, was given a warm reception in his closing act, "Room No. 44." Grayson has signed a contract to remain at the Orpheon this season. Christopher, the Great, was re-engaged for this week. The rest of the program will include the Gierson sisters, singing and dancing aoubretts, and Mr. and Mrs. Allyn, in a musical specialty, closing with a one act farce. "A Penny Actor."

The police department Is in receipt of a letter from a man at Van Wert, O., regarding a sixteen year old girl who is consorting with the forty year old proprietor of a Lima dance hall. He savs the girl was very pretty and that she came from Terre Haute where her fathej was a prominent business man. Investigations here have not disclosed the identity of the.,YQUiji[ woman,

MOVE AGAINST SALOON
RiEV. SANDERSON SPOKE TO LO~ ^FCAL AUDIENCE YESTERDAY.
NEW TACTICS ARE
Purpose is to Make the Saloon Unpopular and eradicate it With Public Opinion.
9
V* I
In defining the province and scope of the work now being earned on in the state by the Anti-Saloon League, Rev. Edward G. Saunderson spoke last evening to a large congregation at the First M. E. church.
The Anti-Saloon League, he stated, is designed to remove the saloon by making it unpopular. In order to do this the aid of the churches has been enlisted and tfie movement has been that of a federation of organizations rather thtm spasmodic and irregular efforts of a few individuals.
How well the work has prospered can be learned from the fact that over two hundred and fifty licenses this year have been reiused. In Sullivan county but three saloons remain out of the twenty*
Illinois is'not succeeding quite so well, because now the work there chiefly consists in fighting for local option which must come before anything may be achieved by the league.
MURDERERS fN JAIL
Fourteen Persons Have Been Confined There During the Past Two
Years.
During the past two years fourteen persons have ueen eoftiineu in the Vigo county jail for taking human life, ine last ot tnese, Tim Newlin and Leonard McUrannalian, are being held pending the action of the' court or grand jury. The others wno have been confined in tiie jail during that time arc: Four I'o-. locks, Quincy Foster, Ed High, Joe Harmon, Lee Phillips, Charles Rogers, Irvin Greer, Jjora Bartiett and -J otm Quinn. Matthew Alexander, the murderer of Thomas-Burke, was never taken to the Vigo county jail after his arrest.
The Alexander case is one unique in criminal .records. The negro was arrested, tried and sentenced without ever being confined in the jail of the county where the crime was committed. John Quinn, who killed a eolored man at Grant, wag not indicted by the grand jury, as it was known he shpt in self defense and he was released without a trial.
