FATAL ACCIDENT,
A Man Killed at the Oil Well.
Yesterday morning about nine -o'clock Oliver P. Heed, in company with his brother, started down town, and on the way stopped to look at the oil well. He was standing in the north doflfway looking at the pump, when a heavy plank fell from the top of the derrick, about fifty feet, striking him on the head, causing a terrible fracture of the skull, from which death ensued a few minutes before four o'clock in the afternoon.
The plank formed a part of the north side of the derrick and had been securely nailed on when the same was erected, but the weather had ^arperl it, so that it was easily knocked off by a man at work in the interior of the derrick.
Young Bead fell sedseleas, and was carried to his mother's residence on Eleventh street, a few doors north of Main, where he remained unconscious until death.
The deceased was about twenty-one years of age, and had just completed his trade of confectioner and baker at W. H. Sages'. His brother, David Eeed, it will be remembered, was killed by the premature discharge of a cannon, at the Fair Grounds, on a Fourth of July, three years ago.
The funeral services will take place this afternoon at two o'clock, at the residence of his mother, on Eleventh street. The Oil Company, although in no way to blame for the distressing accident, gave orders to have the body iaterred at their expense.
A coroner's jury yesterday returned a verdict that "Oliver P. Reed came to his death by the accidental falling of a board at the oil well."

Building and Lean Associations. The following address was recently delivered by Mr. George Rngan before a meeting of oititens held at the roomB of the Qity Council:
Gentlemen:—I must say I was somewhat surprised to hear my name men tioned as a proper person to state the advantages to be derived from becoming a member of the Building and Loan Association but the request having been made, I feel I would not be doing justice to myself nor to you, did I shrink from the performance of the duty thus imposed on me.
The only plan for a laboring man to get rich or even comfortably well off, is to labor and to save. Any man can make money the grand secret is how can he best save it. In my opinion, the method adopted by a Building and Loan Association is one of the best ever devised for the purpose of aiding persons of limited means to acquire a home for themselves.
Every man of family must have a home to shelter himself, let it be ever so humble a cave—a hole in the ground, a tent, a rude structure of boughs, of boards, of logs or a house properly constructed must be secured, that his family may live in, for a protection from the elements, and to secure their bodily comfort and health.
If a man resides in a city, however humble the shelter may be, rent must be paid for it. It is a well known fact, that the house or home of the poor, yields relatively a larger profit to their owners, than those of the wealthy.
Every man, with any feeling of independence, should endeavor to own the house he lives in, where, when his daily toil is done, he can sit down under his own vine, and feel that no heartless landlord can, in case of sickness or death, turn him or his helpless family out on the cold charity of the world.
RENT.
The payment of rent is one of the heaviest burdens the poor man has to contend against for whether he has work or no work—the rent must be paid or else he will be turned out of house and 'home to depend on public charity for a subsistence. If then a poor man has to labor and to strive to keep the rent paid and thus preserve a shelter for himself and those he holds most dear, would he not work with more diligence would he not exercise more frugality and save with a more discriminating judgement, to accumulate means to purchase for himself a home by the aid of a Building and Loan Association, provided he could see how such a desirable end could be accomplished through the help of such an organization?
BUILDING AND LOAN ASSSOCIATIONS. The question then arises what is a Building and Loan Association, and on what principles do they operate. This probably can be best explained by stating the object for which such institutions ate formed they are designed "to increase capital by accumulation, to assist its members in the acquisition of real estate, in the erection of buildings and in the removal of incumbrances on property, and for these purposes, to enable them to receive the amount of their shares in ad vance." It will thus be seen that this is a
MUTUAL AID SOCIETY,
where, by the monthly combination of small sums an aggregate of capital is collected which is loaned monthly to the stockholders, thereby enabling men of small means to obtain sufficient money for the purpose intended, whether it be the purchase of a piece of desirable property, of a house and lot or the removal of an incumbrance alreadv existing.
When poor men are called to take a part in such associations, they are generally suspicious, and as capital is naturally so grasping, they frequently ask the question, is not this association for the benefit of rich men, to make them richer, or is it really for the aid and help of the poor man? Any one can see who reads the Constitution and By-Laws of the Terre Haute Building, and Loan Association, that it isintended for the benefit of the poor man. Every stock holder has a vote for each share he holds—he selects the officers—he or his agents make the laws by which they are governed—and if at any time he considers any By-Law objectionable if he can influence a majority to see it in the same light that he does, he can have the objectionable law changed to suit his own peculiar views.
It is true that the rich man can materially aid and assist in getting up an institution of this kind, but even he can not take more than ten shares, thus preventing any monopolizing of the benefits arising therefrom so that if a rich man invests in this institution it must be for the philanthropic purpose of aiding such an association as far as he is able, (for which it is true he will receive his proportion of benefit, which is perfectly right and proper that he should), as the larger the number of stock holders, up to the whole number that can be taken under the law (500 shares) the better for all the stockholders, as it will place a larger monthly sum at their disposal for loan to the members, who may desire to avail themselves of this accumulated capital, and at the same time enabling the institution to run out at an earlier period than it otherwise would.
"WHERE IS THE ADVANTAGE TO THE POOR MAN OF SUCH AN ASSOCIATION. It is a well known fact, that as a general thing, especially in new communities like ours, you cannot borrow money unless on the payment of a high rate of interest— in the West 10 per cent, is generally the rate charged.
No Banking institution for instance would loan to a poor, or any other man, even on ample security, a sum of money for a term of four, six, or eight years, at 10 per cent., or I was going to say at any per cent. and they certainly would not loan, say for one year, at even a high rate of interest, with the condition attached that the borrower might return a proportion of principal and interest in monthly installments—they don't do business in that way. This is what a Building and Loan Association does. Of course, to protect the stockholders' interest, suffi cient security must be taken for the money borrowed, else it would not be a safe institution. Let me explain how the Association works:
We will suppose there is in this community a poor man who has been paying rent for the house he occupies, $10 per month, or $120 per annum. I know persons in this city, who for a house 16x32, no conveniences, not even a single closet, no cistern or well, no back shed even, no water conductors.that the tenant may catch the rain water in a barrel or tub, who pay that amount of ient, being unable to get any other place to answer their purpose of being convenient to business. The lot of ground on which these
houses are built, could be purchased in some sections of our city, not very remote from Main street, for two hundred and fifty dollars—say 25x140.
Now gentlemen, in representing this matter to you, I do not wish you to think am going to draw the long-bow. I merely want to represent facts, which you can all understand and appreciate. "I do not wish you to imagine that you can make something out of nothing—that is not my object. I will put the matter in a plain straightforward manner so that every one can see that there is no attempt to deceive. THE NECESSARY CONDITIONS TO OBTAIN
A LOAN.
Before a person can get a loan from this or any other association, he must have something ahead on which to base a loan, as sufficient security must be given to make the loan safe. I will say, however, that an association of this kind would be warranted in rnnning a little
would oare to go, as this is in part intended as a mutual aid society. The rapid improvement everywhere going on in oar city, naturally appreciates the value of property so that all real estate security is increasing in value, and as a consequence makes what to-day might be considered pretty near the value, next year the security would be greatly enhanced, by this steady appreciation, far above any deterioration that would result in the use of a house, say for six years.
Now we will suppose a member of this Association situated as I have stated owned in fee simple a lot 25x140 feet, worth, say two hundred and fifty dollars cash. I know parties who are willing to contract to build on such a lot to-day—a house consisting of two rooms 15x16 with kitchen 12x16 all under one roof, or a house 10x42, with a cistern, wood shed and privy for the sum of six hundred and fifty dollars,thus the house and lot is worth the Actual cash value of nine hundred dollars. When the property was thus improved it would readily bring $1000 to 1200 if offered for sale. Now I have no doubt that if a man had such a house built and should come here for a loan, the Financial Committee of your association would be willing to take such a house and lot as a security for a loan, on say four shares of stock or eight hundred dollars.
I will suppose now the individual comes here he applies for a loan and finds he cannot get it without paying a bonus of twenty dollars on each hundred dollars borrowed—that is, he takes the loan and receives therefor, six hundred and forty dollars, less also the expenses for drawing the mortgage, getting insurance policy, &c. This sum you perceive would nearly pay for building the house. He moves in at once the rent for the miserable shanty (for it deserves no other name) he formerly occupied stops. The house now lives in is hi's own. Whatever improvements he puts on it will be his own. He feels like a new man—independent, energetic, with a will to meet all the trials of life with renewed energy, and a "firm deterr'ination to maintain his own self-respeci and dignity. But stop, the place is not his yet. For thid home he has given a mortgage which must be removed. In the course of six years, by patient industry it will be. Every dollar he now pays does not go to a rapacious landlord it goes to make him free! The same money paid to a landlord, and he is no better off than at the start in fact, he is worse off, for he would be six years older, and therefore that much less able to meet the growing wants of his family. Now what would this man have to pay into the Association monthly lo make this house his own? only twelve dollars per month—two dollars more than he paid his landlord before. Of course he would have to pay in addition to this amount whatever taxes might be assessed against the property.
Who would not willingly live more frugally who would not do without ci gars, tobacco, beer, whisky, or many of those expenses which could readily dispensed with, or even take upon them selves some extra labor, or stint them selves in their living, to secure so blessed a thing as a home of their own. COMPARISON BETWEEN BORROWING FROM A CAPITALIST AND FROM THE ASSOCIATION
But says one, would it not be better to go to some capitalist and borrow this amount less the bonus at 10 per cent, and put up a house on his lot in that way? Is not that bonus of twenty dollars on a hundred a very heavy loss to make in order to se cure the amount he actually received?
In one sense it is not—as I shall Btate hereafter—not only in one, but in every sense, it is not, as the figures will soon show.
There is one condition in thus borrow ing from the Building Association I want you to continually bear in mind, and that is this—the poor man can pay back principal and interest monthly at which any capitalist would scout at the idea of receiving his money back in such little dribs therefore in that sense it would be better—all things being equal. But let us see how this thing works figures if right' ly placed, will not lie.
From the Building Association he nominally borrows eight hundred dollars but actually receives six hundred and forty dollars for this loan he pays into the Association $12 per month, or $144 per year, for six years $864 00 For initiation fee on each share $1 4 00
Total paid in $868 00 Now we will see what it will amount to at 10 per cent per annum for Bix years. Amount of money received $640 at 10 per cent for one year $64, for 6 yea^s $384 .00 Principal returned at end of time 640 00 It will thus be seen that there is paid to the capitalist $1,024 00 Paid by the borrower into Building Association 868 00 In favor of the Association the handsome sum of 156 00 an amount almost if not quite sufficient to pay the taxes on the property so that you perceive the large bonus is not so much of a bug-bear after all. WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE TO THOSE WHO BECOME MEMBERS BUT DO NOT TAK1
LOAN?
Any person who does not borrow money from the Association is benefitted in this manner: if there were no borrowers, he would not be benefitted unless the money should be loaned out at a low rate of interest as in a saving fund, and his profit would be in proportion. But ordinarily a large proportion of those who join an association of this kind do so for the purpose of securing a loan, and are generally willing and rea4y to take every dollar that may be put up for loan. The monthly compounding of the money is a large item of profit, especially as the principal and interest are paid back by the borrower monthly the fines—for there will always be some who will be negligent in paying up their dues—the initiation fees, after deducting the running expenses, which are very light, rarely exceeding say $300 per annam— these all make sources of profit, which will enable the Association to- bring the stock up to par value in say six years.
This being the case, the account would stand thus: Am't of stock fully paid up $200 Paid in initiation fee and monthly installments.... 145

Profit nearly 38 per cent. average time three years or 12J per cent, per annum.
In the city of Philadelphia, where these associations have been in operation for the last thirty years, they have proved a great success. In a recent article in "Scribner's Monthly" in speaking of Philadelphia it says:
Philadelphia is probably, in territory, the largest city in the world, for it embraces the entire county and contains one hundred and twenty-six (126) square miles, twenty. (20) of which are built solid *.,
Hence it can spread indefinitely and to-day, though much less in population, has more houses than New York city. It has.114,303 dwelling houses, of which 101,688 are of brick .and stone and the remainder, 12,615, of wood. With the exception of 6,948, these are all small two story and three story buildings.
This spaciousness of territory enables Philadelphia to carry out a system of building, in one respect, that makes it unlike all other cities in the world, viz.: the putting up of Bmall houses for the accommodation of the poorer clases.
Philadelphia has bat few tenement houses. Each household has its own dwelling, which is its home. The honses are smidl bat complete. There are two rooms on the first floor, besides a kitchen.

home for the young mechanic or fi ugal laborer. What could represent a happier state of affairs for mechanics and 'working men? Yet this condition of things is largely attributed to the introdnction of building and loan associations, which has enabled many a poor man to get.a house for himself and family, which under any other condition of things wonld have been almost an impossibiSty.
This it as it should be let as endeavor to build np Terre Haate on the same principle. Every man to own his own home then, with a free education to enlighten every head, with a free religion to regulate the affections, and to allow every man to worship God according to the dictates of his own co tscience and a free home—with no landlord to make him afraid that he might be turned out on the cold charity of the world if sickness should overtake him—then every man will feel that he is a free man, indeed, and deserves to live in the freest country under the sun,
PROF. DEHOUNE, the celebrated onelegged tight-rope walker, who was here in June last, while giving an exhibition Thursday afternoon at Springfield, Ohio, fell about one hundred feet, breaking his regaining leg in two place, and badly in* jured his head. The doctors think he will recover. The accident was caused by the rope breaking, and he refused the money, saying that he had not walked the rope yet.
HALIFAX.
PROTESTS.
HALIFAX, Sept. 2.—In the single scull race to day Brown entered a protest, on the ground that Saddler ran across his bow several times. The umpire decided in favor of Saddler, that by the racing rules he could at his own risk take Brown's water, adding however, that that style of racing has always been discountenanced in Halifax. They also decided against the Renforth crew's protest of foul in the four oared race, against the American crews claim for the second place.
