Insurance Adjustments Personal Items.

SULLIVAN, Ind., December 31. We are having a spell of nice winter weather now, which will, we hope, assist in improving business.

Oar young friend and fellow townsman Rollin Eaton, last evening was married to Mies Flora Purcell, of Paxton, Ind. We wish him all good luck and many years of wedded happiness.

John Blalock, who received a severe hurt in the "big" fire Sunday night, is still on the lame list.

The Agnes Wallace-Villa combination closed their engagement of two nights here last evening. They were greeted with good and appreciative audiences each evening.

The following losses have been adjusted and paid by the different insurance companies, and so far without any difficulty and with satisfaction to all partieB concerned:

Eaton A Mill, damage on boots and shoes, $900 insurance in the Briggs agency.

Mayfield A Co., damage on drugs, $273.15 insured with Briggs. B. Koltinsky, damage on groceries insured with L. 8tirifer, $240.

Ed. W. Kelley, damage on jewelry, $270. W- H. Burks, damage on drugs, $240.

T. K. Sherman, damage on dry goods, $400. Harvey Wilson, damage to building, $35.

Bremer & Burton and Koltinsky havt had no settlement yet. Hon. H. K. Wilson Is lying Very ill at his residence. W. S. S.

Fire.

About one o'clock this morning officers Cain and Connaghan discovered the stable on the property northeast corner of Third and Mulberry streets, to be on fire. Tha former turned' in the alarm, the^atter, with the assistance of John Mahare, released a couple of horses and three cows, which were confined in the burning building. The barn was filled with hay, husks, and hair, the property of Patrick Clune. The stock was considerably damaged, but the fire was put out in a short time after the arrival of the fire department. Mr. Clune held an insurance on the stock with Frank A. Faris. The barn is the property of George C. Boord. Mr. Clune had milked the cows in the building in the evening, and is positive that there was no fire about it The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary.

A Good Becord.

There has been less stealing done during the past year, and more stolen goods discovered and returned, than for any in the paat twelve years. This speaks well for our efficient police force, who area terror to eyil doers of all kinds.

THE YEAR 1881

Resume of Our Business Interests for the Year Just Closed, v-

A T«rj Satisfactory Showing The Outlook for the Fgtjre.

Short "Talks" With Leading Biislnesl Meri-THe Results. .f

The year 1881, with which we are done, has been in some respects a remarkable one, outside of tbe startling events which will mark it as such on the pages of history.

From a business stand point it has been a remarkable year. Starting in with such fair prospects, the severe and long continned drought, and the suspense and anxiety connected with the death of the President, nerved in some measure to deaden the business, which would otherwise have bean unparalleled. The year has, despite this, been one of material advancement. The railroad and manufacturing interests have prospered remarkably, although the production of several of our largest msnufactories have been reduced bn account of labor troubles. There is plenty of room in Terre_ Haute for additional mannfactories, the importance of which cannot be over-estimated. The efforts of all our citizens should be made towards an increase in this department of our growth, as on this to a great extent th$ wealth and prosperity of a city of our sizs depends.

Within the past few days an Express reporter has talked with a number ot our leading business men regarding their business for the year past, and the results will be found below

Jacob Baur Was asked Adeeming the business of J. J. Baur and replied: "It has been highly satisfactory, exceeding by ten per cent, any previous year. The growth has been steady and quiet, and although we have contracted in some departments, the general business has greatly improved. Especially ia this true of the prescription department."

William Kramer, book-keeper for Jas. B. Lyne, wholesale dealer in liquor stated that trade had been fair, not exceeding, however, that of '80. The prospects for the future are very satisfactory.

H. F. Schmidt A Co., jawelers, were next visited. With them trade has been better than ever before. Not only was this true of the business as a whole, but every month Bhowed much larger sales than for the corresponding month of any previous year. They had done so well ia fact that on the first of the year they would begin jobbing in tools and materials.

A G„ Austin, hardware, stated that while the year's business had not increased as much as expected, it would compare favorably with that of any previous year. The trade, however,, was exceedingly healthy, there being .considerably less credit than during 1880.

A. F. Eiser, confectioner: "The "business has been much better during the entire year than for 1880, or in fact any year previous to this. Whether this is due to the good times, or great care in putting up the bsst goods, I do not know. The Christmas trade this year is larger than ever before. The wholesale business^ has al?o been good, and promises well for tbe future."

James Hunter, gents' furnisher: My trade has been considerably better than ever before, the Christmas trade being fully 20 per cent, better than last year. The laundry btfsibsss bas increased fifty per cent. One peculiarity about this year's trade is that business was remarkably good when leBst expectcd. For instance, in August and Sept^mboi, when we were looking for quiet times, as is usual, trade was booming, with our hands full all the time. As to business a few months ahead, I think it depends altogether on the weather."

George H. Robinson, of H. Robinson A Co., wholesale notions, etc,, said that trade had been better than ever before. The short crops had some effect on the trade, and had they bsen good, there is no telling how great a difference it would have made. The business has been highly satisfactory.

When E. Havens, of Havens & Geddes, wholesale notions, etc., was asked the usual question, he replied "The aggregate business for '81 is much larger than for '80, or any year previous.

The

ten

dency was perhaps rather to a

BIO

all

trade, probably owing to the light crops, but as said before, the aggregate is much greater, and therefore very satisfactory. The prospects for the future are very good."

E. H. Bindley, of Bindley A Co., wholesale druggists, said: Our business has been far better than that of 1880. In round numbers our trade will reach $100,000. Despite this, however, our fall trade am to it or ha a of '80. From January to Septe' oer, we couldn't have asked for better Jusiness, but after that it was not what we expected. Whether this was owiug to the healthy condition pf tbe outside country or not, I can't say.

Cal Thomas, jeweler, stated that while his trade was scarcely as big as he had expected, it was larger than duriog '80, or any previous year. The Christmas trade was unusually large.

J. Q. Button, of the Central Bookstore, said: Onr business this year is by far the best we have ever had, being thirty per cent, better than that of. the year preceding. A special feature of the year's business, was the holiday trade, which was very large.

W. H. Rippetoe, ot Bement, Rea & CoSaid: The firm's business has been much better than it was in 1880, and has been steadily increasing during the past five years. Where a a dulLtrade was expected the past year, it has kept up remarkably well. (Collections have been very good too. The business sor the entire year is highly satisfactory.

J. N. Hickman, White sewing machiue: Trade has been bettef throughout the entire year than for 1880. Collections, however, have been bad during the past few months, principally owing to the poor crops. Good crops next year will fix matters all right.

Lee Hirscb, clothier: Business generally has been very satisfactory, and much better than for 1880. The prospects for the future depend altogether on the weather.

D. Riebold, boots and shoes: Sales have been better than for 1880, and held up to the last Next spring promises to he very dull, though.

W.H. Albrecht,of Espenhain A Albrecht, dry good*: In our present location we have a better chance to display goods and do ourselves justice, and in consequence our trade is doubling itself right along. Our sales the day before Christmas this year were $800 larger than the same day last year. We are highly pleased with our new location.

J. F. Gulick^of Gtilick A Berry, druggists: Business on the whole has been about the same as last year, there being no perceptible increase. The light business was mainly during the fall and was probably owing to the drought, Collections have bora fair.

J. A. Marshall, Singet sewing machines and musical merchandise: Our business has been twenty-five per cent better than last year, owing to the priociple of larger sales and small puts. Collections generally have bsen good.

Mrs. R. A. Tiernan,millinery. Business has been better than e7er before, at least in my experience of eight years. The winter trade has been very fine.

J. A. Foot, seedsman: Business has been better than in 1880. The increase has

been general, and on no particular line of goods. John N. Wolf, hardwart: Taking info consideration short crops and the prices named for goods, the average for the year has been up to that of 1880, but no better. The Christmas trade was a great deal larger than that of last year.

Mr. Straus, of Rothschild & Co., New York Store: We have been opened but a few months, but trade has been very good —much better than we expected. The Christmas trade was remarkably good. We have recently opened a branch store at Sullivan.

A. Z. Foster, of Foster Bros., dry goods! The trade has been better every month this year than for the corresponding month of 1880, with the exception of October, which fell behind. The sum total of business is considerably larger, though jast how much I can't state yet.

A Herz, notions, etc.: I have been in business thirteen years, and no year has fallen behind the business of the preceding one. The present year has been a good one, and my trade much better than for 1880. The Christmas trade in particular was very big.

L. Goodman, of L. Goodman & Co., clothiers: We have perhaps sold fewer cheap goods than in 1880, but have more than made up for this by a heavy business in goods of finer qnality. Our business has been the largest we have ever had, as the books will.show.

B. M- Xoopman, hides and leather: We have had some months better than corresponding ones in 1880, and some poorer, but the entire year has been better. Collections have been only fair.

W. H. Scudder, wholesale candiep, etc.: The year has been much better than '80, and in fact any year since 1865. I have enjoyed a big wholesale trade, and collections have been easy. It has been .a pleasure to do business the past year

Joseph Strong, coffees, spices, etc.: Trade has been very much better than in '80, and consequently very satisfactory. Have had the largest sales I have ever had, and collections have been easy.

H. P. Townley, of Townley Bros., stoves and tinware: The increase in trade has been very satisfactory, and will probably be twenty per cent, larger, than those of 1880. Collections, however, have been rsther dull, and will perhaps continue so for a few months.

W. M. Slaughter, of Slaughter, Watkins A Co., hardware: Business has been only fair, perhaps as large as during 1880, but no better.

H. Hulman, Wholesale gfoceiries, etc.: Tbe sales for this year will be probably twenty per cent, more than the year preceding. Collections have been fair, and the losses from bad accounts have been very few. The prospects for the near future, however, cannot be said to be very promising.

D. C. Greiner, boots and shoes, reported an "increase o^ fully fifteen per cent, in his business.

N. Boland, boots and shoes: Although our business has been entfirely satisfactory, it is no laJger than that of last year.

S. Loeb, bats and caps: My busintsi has not fallen behind that of 1880, and is satisfactory,

John G. Shryer, of Shryer Bros., hardware The year's business hasvbeen very good, and considerably larger than that of 1880. The prospects for the coming year I think very flattering.

A. B. Mewhinnev, wholeale and retail confectionery: "Owing to increased facilities and enlarged demand, our trade has increased very much. The year's business has bsen highly satisfactory." About Februiry Mr. Mewhinney will occupy the rooms on Sixth street, opposite Chambers & King, using one room for his retail and one for wholesale business.

John H. Sykes, hats and caps: There has been a slight falling off in the demand for goods, but the difference is not material. The demand for winter goods has been rather quiet, but has braced up since the change in the weather.

E. M. Wamsley, carpet hall: Inconsequence of the unprecedented building boom, our business has greatly improved the paat year, although constantly increasing and expanding.

H.S.Richwdson, of H.S.Richardson & Co.', queensware: Our retail business bas been about the same as last year, and holiday trade somewhat less. Our jobbing trade has bsen greatly increased, owing to extended territory and good work. We feel greatly encouraged ove the year's businees.

I. Fecheimer, notions, etc.: Considering the crops, weather, etc., our trade htw been much better than in 1880. I expect an early spring trade.

J. R. Fisher: In all branches my trade has been larger than in 1880. The prospects for tbe future cannot be said to be flattering, however/

John Paddock, of Paddock. Purcell •& Co., boots and shoes: During the year the business has been as good, but not any better than in 1880.

R. R. Ball, stove's and tinware: Our trade will compare favorably with thatof 1880.

William Lotze, stoves and tinware: Out business has been fully fifty per cent, larger han in 1880, owing to tho large amounr of building and necessary house furnishing. I am very much pleased with the year's showing,

E. -L. Prob.-t, stove? and tinware: I have on the whole done a larger business than in 1880, principally out-door work, as the stove trade has been rather small, owing to the mild winter. Where business has suffered in one branch, it has more than made np in others. I have been greatly troubled with scarcity of tinners.

O wen, Pixlty & Co, clothiers, stated that although trade bad undoubtedly been affected by the weather, yet it was very good.

J. T. H. Miller, clothier: My business has been fair, and in fact much better than I anticipated. I am very well satisfied with it.

Ford & Owens, ciothing: Business has been very satisfactory with us since we opened, and our merchant tailoring department could not have been more successful.

Hoberg, Root & Co.: Mr. Hoberg, in answer to inquiries as to the result of this year's business, replied that the business of this bouse during the spring was far in advance of any.previous season. The trade during the usually dull eummer months was quite active. It was enstomary after the first of January and July to drop employes engaged for the rush of winter and spring businees, but during this year we were obliged to keep our force up to the maximum through the entire year. •'How ha3 tbe trade run sinci your removal?" "Very favorably. Of course, with our improved facilities and great increase of stock, a gain was to be expected. We find a great increase in our out of town trade from the neighboring thriving towns, and I do not recall any season when we have sold so many large bills and fine poods to distant customers. The mild weather of this open winter has no doubt checked sales largely in the heavy woolens, but this has been "offset by gains in other departments so that the whole year is decidedly an improvement on the past. The holiday trade, notwithstanding the unpropitious weather, was larger than ever. The prospects for a get spring trade are flattering."

Joseph Erlanger, clothier, said: While the tendency on account of the weather, has been rather toward a dull trade, I am satisfied with my business. The readymade trade has perhaps fallen off somewhat from that of last year, but the merchant tailoring has been greatly in excess of that of 1880. The average trade will compare favorably with that of the previous year.

From theae brief "talks" with our business men it will bs seen that to say the past year has been one of universal proeperity would be drawing it rather strong.

It is enough—and not too much—to say that all are well satisfied with the progress made during the year just closed. All are hopeful and in comparatively good spirits, with strong confidence in tbe future.

"THE WORLD."

The combined attendance at the matinee and evening performance made another good day for the "World," which thus closes the most successful engagement of the seasou. The fine spectacle was presented in the usual good Btyle, and the company played with accustomed spirit. It is needless to go into detail, since every theatre-goer in the city has doubtless witnessed^ one of the four performances. The active and capable Btage manager and assistants will be glad to take a rest after the very lively scene-shifting of the last three days, and the energetic amusement-seeker will make a fresh start with Nat Goodwin, who, like the "World" company, give as good an entertainment as promised.

THE COMING WEES'S AMUSEMENTS. The ball opens on Tuesday night with Nat. Goodwin and Eliza Weathershy, giving their latest success, "Member for Slocum," and "Hobbies" on Wednesday night. In this former play Mr. Goodwin appears in a strictly comedy character, and is said to make a great hit On Thursday night, LeavitPs Gigantean Minstrels, one of the best of the troupes that have visited us, appear in an entire change of programme from that of their previous performance here. On Friday night, Hyde & Behman's Specialty company give a first-class variety show, and the week's entertainment closes with Neil Burgess in his familiar rendition of

GOSSIP.

The tour of Miss Anna Dickinson opens January 19th, in Rochester, New York. Anfc still another. Manager Leavitt has engaged Pauline Markam and a strong dramatic Company to produoe the "Two Orphans." j. M. Hill has filled all the time for next season for his new star, Miss Margaret Mather. The season opens in Chicago next August.

Gus Williams will be here next Monday night in his new play, "Wanted^V Carpenter^" which baa met with great success this season.^

W. S. Gilbert's Fogarty's Fairv was produced in London last week.^ The papers speak coolly of it. Mr. Gilbert had better keep to oomic opera.

George Rignold will shortly fce in New York, on his wsy to Austrilia, where he produces Youth. It is not unlikely that he may play in that city for a couple of weeks.

Messrs. James and Thome, the famous "Our Boys," of the London Vaudeville, dissolve partnership at the end of this season, and David James comes to this country.

Miss Annie Pixley has purchased for $5,000 a new play from Fred. Marsden. The contracts were signed on Thursday, and Miss Pixley is to have her play in the spring,

Joseph Jefferson closed hit season last *yeek in Pittsburg, and retires to his Louisiana plantation for three months. He will open again in Washington, D. C., April 10th.

J. H. Haverly has signed a contract with Henry E. Abbey, lo play Madame Patti for three performances at his Chicago theatre during the week of January 2d. Mr. Haverly guarantees $7,000 a performance, which is rather risky.

Dan Frohman, the right hand man of Manager Msllorv, of the Madison Square Theatre, says he considers "that the road to wealth runB directly through the most expensive columns of the most most expensive daily newspapers."

John Stetson offered A. M. Palmer $10,000 for the right of Lights o' London, for Boston, or he offered $1,000 a week for the play in that city, and guaranty to run it ten weeks. The offer was I accepted. Messrs. Palmer and French are asking an enormous royalty for this play.

The old theatre at Bristol, England, is to come down. It has a glorious past, for it gave to the stage Kate and Ellen Terry, Mrs. Bancroft and Mrs. Kendal, perhaps the four greatest English actresses living. A little before their time Macready helped to make the old houee famous.

Jour et Nuit, Lecocq'a latest success, will be produced at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, by Comley & Barton, in March. Miss Catharine Lewis will play the prin cipal part. If Fornie's version is successful at the Grand Theatre, London, Mr. Carte will produce it at the Standard 'Theatre, following Claude Duval.

The new Greek play which ia^ to bs brought out in Boston soon, promises to be quite successful as a novelty and curiosity, if not a production of real merit. The great scholars who pay taxes around the Hub have pronouueed in favor of the Gretk play. Miss Georgie Cayvan is to impersonate the leading character in tha play, and as she has a strong voice and unusual capacities for high tragedy, the production of this much talked about play will undoubtedly make anew era in the history of American dramatic art.

The management by which A. M. Palmet becomes part proprietor tf the Black Flag has been completed. Edwin F. Thorne, the original purchaser, receives a one-third Interest and a salary of $150 a week. Charles R. Thorne, who leaves the Union Squire Theater gets aloo a one-third interest^ and a salary of $250 a week, and Mr. Palmer produces the play and assumes all risks for a onethird interest, without salary. The piece will be brought out at Niblo'ii Garden, New York, during th^ first days of March, with new scenery entirely, painted by Mar8ton, and the best cast that can be obtained will play in it. J. N. Gotthold has been engsged for the heavy part, and Misa Jewett is Aikely to appear in the principal female role.

In Memoriam.

The services at the Congregational church to-day will be in part memorial of the late Lucius Ryce.

ThW sermon given by Rev. Charles P. Crofts, the pastor, in the morning, will be appropriate for New Year's. In tha evening at 7 o'clock, Col. R. W. Thompson will deliver the address in memory of Mr. Ryce.

The musical services of the day will be of great interest, and the selections will have touching associations.

In the morning Miss Jeffers is losing the solo, "I know My Redeemer liveth," and Mrs. Houghton, of Mattoon, will sing "Jesua, Lover of My Soul" (to Abt's "When the Swallows Homeward fly). At night the choir is to sing "Nearer My God to Thee."

A Good "Walk.

A man, wife and a five year old girl came into.the Union depot night before last, having walked, as they claimed, all the way from Virginia on their way to Dscatur, Ills. The little one walked some days a distance of thirty five or forty miles. They were given passes to Dscatur by the township trustee, and yesterday morning started for their destination.
