Tlie Herdic HaunfactnrlDg Kapld Transit Company. In this eity yesterday was incorporated the Herdic Manufacturing and Eapid Transit Company. The incorporators are James B. Lyne, Wm.P. Armstrong, Wm. O. Patton, J. F. Golick, Dick T. Morgan and Andrew Grimes. The officers of the company are:

President—James B.Lyne. Treasurer—Andrew Grime/.^ Secretary—DickT. Morgan. Superintendent—Patton. The object of the*ffinazation, as stated in the articles of corporation is "to manufacture vehicles and run- lines of transit for hire on the streets of the city of Terre Haute, the patent vehicle known as "the Herdic," patented by Peter Herdic, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at such price as the directors and owners of .said license and right may agree upon."

The capital stock of the company is $30,0C0, divided into 1,200 shares of $25 each.

The company has already ordered six vehicles with a capacity for holding fourteen person each, and the lin?8 will .be placed in active operation immediately upon their arrival from Philadelphia, which will be in the course of three or four weeks. The vehicles are provided with wheels of very large size, the axles being so shaped, tbat the body of the carriage rests near the ground, rendering it easy of access. Messrs. Morgan, Grimes and Patton visited 8t. Louis and witnessed the working of the lines recently, and were very much pleased with them. An Express reporter talked with Mr. Lyne and Mr. Grimes yesterday, and they are very enthusiastic as. regards the success of the enterprise. Three lines will probably be put on at first, ono on south Sixth, one on south Fourth, and one north of Main.

OLIVETTE.

I At the tfl stinee this afternoon the Abbott company will perform Audran's greatest work with a cast capable of rendering the opera in its real character. It has generally been seen burlerqued with the whole chance of success relying on the grotesque and clownish method of the performance. The Abbott company sing it with Miss Julia Bosewald, the famous prima donna soprano, in the title role, and Miss Lizzie Annanclale, formerly the contralto of the Strakosch company, as the Countess. The full chorus and orchestra will support the principal artiais, and the public may expect a perfect performance.

The brilliant costuming and graceful grouping of tbo chorus impart a picturesque and beautiful effect to the opera which is entirely new to those who have only seen it in the ordinary manner of representation, and it was on this idea of giving the light operas with the star casts that Abbott added another and most important feauture to her enterprise. The music of Audran's piece is as complicated and dificult as the dramatic arrangement of plot and characters so that though the humor may carry one of these pretty comic phantasies for a time yet to enjoy the real merit an audience must hear them rendered by a properly constituted company. The success which has heralded Olivette as played by the Abbott company is the best sign of the merit of the programme. "MY rABTNKB." jY*' ',r

Bartley Campbell has written Se'veral excellent plays, none better, however, than that which was produced last evening at the Union Square "Theater, under the above name, before a large, fashionihle and critical audience. In the creation of his plot and the development of the story—keeping, as he does, the tide of interest always at the flood— in happily commingling rough humor and homely pathos, the author seems to have succeeded in giving us a purely American drams, based on incidents that are possible, and represented by characters that are not extravagant. The events that furnish the motive, and" the incidents introduced to aid the plot, belong entirely to what is known as "border life'' but in the presentation of these, there is a delicacy of treatment in the dialogue and a color given to the language that elevates the play far above the level of the so-call-ed "border drama." There are no revolver discussions and lynching* no eruption of red Bhirt» and slang phrases but in their place the home utterances of men and women who, with one or two exceptions, might have lived and had their being anywhere else than in California. In Mr. Aldrieh, one recognized a carefully studied type of the California miner rude of speech, but tenderhearted find heroic. The broadly comic element was supplied by Mr. Parsloe, who, as the Chinaman, Wing Lee, not only kept the house in the best of humor, but eventually served to solve the myBteiy of the murder of Ned Singleton. ,•

The Vandalia moved 236 cars of coal on Monday. President Mackey, of the E. & T. H. railroad, returned from the East Monday morning. The general offices at Evansville are undergoing thorough repars and rearrangement under the new regime.

The Chicago & Indianapolis Air Line is rapidly being pushed on toward Iadianapolis. Sunday tbe crossing of the T. H. & L. division of the V»n«alia was put in, and track laying commenced between Frankfort and Indianapols.

President W. McKeen went over to Indianapolis in his private car yesterday morning to cofisult with various railroad dignitaries and the executive committee of the Union Railway regarding the erection of anew nnion depot at the capital.

Tbe Vandalia 'has recently put in a short piece of side track, above the depot platform, and back of C. B. Puddle's office, to facilitate the changing of engines on the different passenger trains. The track was used for the first time yesterday./-

::§. 1

The I. & Sf L. is taking through a large number of locomotives for the Denver & Rio Grande, from the Baldwin Locomotive Works. The Vandalia and I. & Si.L. are also carrying large quantities of rails from tbe Indianapolis rolling mi»t |0, the .Fort Scott & Wichita road.

Superintendent Galp, of the Indianapolis & St Louis road, has requested that all employes on tbe road should be vaccinated, and has made arrangement with surgeon to go over the road and vaccinate each man at a cost of fifty cents per ''arm."

James McGutcheon, road-master E._ & T. H. R. R., returned from !Evansville last night. His company has assumed charge of the Belt Railroad at that city, and he has had it added to his already responsible supervision. He is kept constantly on the go this kind of weather.-

The morning through southern express on the C. & E. I. and E. & T.H. R.R='s yesterday rcorniog was several hours late, tbe delay having been caused by an engine getting out of order. The train last gight from the south was an hour la in consequence of bad coal. These delays very rarely occur on these reliable roads.

The Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad Monday opened its new Wellington branch, extending from Wellington to Cissna, a distance of thirteen miles. They will also furnish the rolling stock tor the Dadville, Olney & Ohio River road, which enters Danville on the C. & E. I. tracks. Through trains will be put on between Danville and Olney in a few weeks

The C. & E. I. through train which should leave here at 11 p. no., did not get away until nearly three o'clock yesterday morning. The delay was occasioned by the breaking down of E. & T. H. engine, No. 15, Bony Lyons, engineer, below town. The train was brought in however, and yesterday No. 15 started to Evansville to go into the shops there for repair.', but she broke down completely near Honey Creek, and the switch engine had to go down and tew her back.

Indianapolis JoHrnal: The Vandalia people tire considerably exercised on learning that the Indianapolis &St. Louis road has issued a number of passeiB to shippers, the management of the former claiming that the I. & St. L. Company had given them to understand that no passes would be issued to shippers this year, on account of business. Three parties applied to tbe agent of the Vandalia yesterday for passe--, and, on being refused, shook I. & St. L. passes in the agent's face quite defiantly, and "Harry was mad." f'i .MORE ABOUT THE C.

A BIO INDUSTRY.

Tlie Terre Haute car works received sixteen car loads of material yesterday, including six cars of Scotch pig iron and several car loads of axles from the New Albany workB. In the„ spring new additions will be made to the buildings, and all the iron used in the construction of cars will be manufactured by the company. The works turned out 2,275 cars in 1881, paying for the labor thereon some $175,000, and the average weekly payments now reach $4,000.

THE TRUNK LINE WAR.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—It is impossible to say whether the Trunk line war has been settled or not. William L. Scott stated yesterday that the war had been settled by the adoption of a money pool, dividing the proceeds for a term of years on the basis afforded by the business of 1880. Vanderbilt said on Sunday evening that the war was practically settled, and rates would soon be advanced. Cornelius Vanderbilt is reported as saying, yesterday that the war was over, fiome of tbe beat informed people in the State had similar information. On the other hand, President Jewett, of the Erie, asserted positively last evening that no agreement had been signed or settlement made. AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE FOR TERRE

HAUTE.

Mention was made in the Express last week of the filing of articles of incorporation of the Terre Haute & Cincinnati Railroad. Oa Monday the directors of the company held their first meeting in Chicago and elected the following officers: President, George S. Bowen, of Elgin, 111 Vice-President, Charles C. P. Holden, of Chicago Treasurer, William V. Kay, of Wankegan Secretary, oeeph 8. Reynolds, of Chicago Attorney, John D. Miller, of Greensbnrg, Ind. An executive committee consisting of Bowen Holden, and Kay Were appointed, and directed to take immediate steps to cany gqt the object ?f t^e organisation, which

is to construct a standard gauge railroad connecting thin city with Cincinnati by the way of Worthington. The proposed road is to be 112 miles in length, P*«ing through the important cities of Worthington, Bloom ington, Columbus and Greensburg. The road will P*es through the Centre of Brown county, Indiana, a county, which never had a railroad touch its soil before. It is a heavily timbered county, and produces the finest stone in the state. It will open up to the Terra Haute and other markets the best block coal fields in Indiana. The income from this traffic alone, the managers say, will pay the interest on tbe bonded indebtedness of the road and a fair dividend besides. It will give the Effingham St Southeastern^ railroad an eastern outlet to Cincinnati. The road will open up about seventy-five miles of country which" ha# never had railroad facilities before. E^ery township along its proposed line haa promised to vote aid towards its construction, to the full extent of the law. It is upon those conditions and the further assurance, made to the company that not only township aid. bat private subscriptions and donations in land be forthcoming, and the right-of-lway furnished along the entire line, that the company has consented to construct the new road. It is the intention to commenoe the constrnctipn of the new line at as early-a day as possible. This road will be a very important feeder for the Terre Haute & Southeastern railroad, and as such will be a very important line for this city. By its connection with the C. I. St. L. & C. at Greensburg, will be furnished another outlet to Cincinnati.

TBE SKJIATE.

WASHINGTON, January 17,1882. Plumb presented a petition from citizens of Kansas in favor of woman suffrage.

Bills were introduced and referred as followc By Conger, to provide for a commission oa the alcoholic liquor traffic.

By Cameron, of Wisconsin, to authorize the cutting and sale of dead and damaged timber on Indian reservations, under the direction of the Interior Department.

By Vance, to enable the several States to collect an educational fund from taxes on distilled spirits and fermented liquors.

By Garland, authorizing and directing the purchase by the Secretary of the Treasury for public use of the Freedmen's Bank property and real estate, and parcels of grounds adjacent thereto, belonging to the Freedmen's Saving and Trust Company.

By Davis, of Illinois, to permit Ward Hnnt, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, to tetire.

By Teller, to sdopt a device for preventing the re-use of revenue stamps placed on malt and spirituous liquors.

By Blair, granting a pension to LucretiaR. Garfield. By Ferry, for a public building at Marquette, Mich.

By Anthony, to authorize the compilation and printing ol the naval history of the war.

Daring the morning hour, Beck resumed his remarks upon Ingall's resolution declaring that, the pension arrears law ought not to be repealed. In support of his allegation, that the legislation was instigated and pressed through Congress by pension claim agents, he read from the records of the- investigation, by the House Committee in 1879, shortly after the act became a law, shoring the existence in Washington of an organization professing to bs a Soldiers' and Sailors' Association, which was actively engaged, when the bill was pending, in spading out for signatures, and having returned to Congress as voluntarily prepared by the signer,*, petitions in favor. One of these circulars asserted that all of the credit fer prosecuting the measure before Congress wtth success, was doe to the president of the association, Captain Dimmick, and that without his efforts it never would have been pressed to a passage. This individual, in his testimony before the committee, admitted having interfered in the Senatorial canvass in Kansas to defeat the re-election of Ingalls, on the assumption that he was unfriendly to the soldier interest, and a man who could not be reached easily, a a statement which Beck construed to mean that Ingalls was regarded by the pension attorneys as one whom they could -not use. He read further .to show that Dimmick, upon being pressed to give the name of one man whom he had heard denounce Ingalls as opposed to the soldiers, mentioned Sweine, who at the time was one of the Doorksepers of the House, The claims made by the organization showed that his [Beck's] charges were not made without support. He then quoted the report of the Pension Commissioner in 1879, and others, to the effect that frauds were almost a necessary consequence of arrearage legislation, and that it had revived from 3,000 to 4,000 cases on the pension files that were previously debarred. He added that be had perhaps used expressions that were too vigorous when denouncing the measure, but thought he had not transcended ordinary parliamentary limits in that regard. In connection with his reference to tbe late Commissioner, Bentley, he expressed his belief that the pension agents were at the bottom of the removal of that official, who zealously endeavored to prevent the frauds that were necessarily connected with tbe new legislation.

Jngalls said that as the funding bill had precedence to-day, he would defer a formal reply to Beck to a more convenient time. The subject|was accordingly passed over for the present, and consideration of Siierman's funding bill was resumed.

Plumb argued that the redemption fund for United States notes ought to bs diminished. He argued that it was the solemc duty of Congress not only to cut down but definitely limit that fund at a stated figure, thereby making a saving to the Country on the item of interest, while allowing money heretofore hoarded in the Treasury to circulate. Ha believed the reduction of the fand to $50,000,000 could safely be made. To make bis proposition wholly conservative, he had fixed the limit at $100,000,000, so as to make full and ample provision for the redemption of every Government obligation. He advocated the redemption of the 3£ per cents, out of tbe surplus revenne,

tover

and

above $100,000,000, and that this total ought not to be reducsd except in the redemption of United States notes. Urging the other featureof his amendment, namely: that whenever the volume of the National Bank circulation is reduced by the failure or liquidation of National Banks, an equivalent amount of treasury notes shall be issued, and that this shell be repeated from time to time, but that the National Bank currency, as existing at the date of each diminution shall never be increased. Under this operation the National Bank circulation would be gradually replaced by greenbacks. As the extinction of the public debt, which is in course of rapid decrease, will Wipe ont the base of the National Bank circulation, he regarded it as the {art of wisdom to gradually provide currency to take the place of the bank circulation.

Pugh said Vest's amendment being a copy of the Carlisle amendment, while applicable to the funding bill of last Congr»s-, was inoperative and inconsistent with some of the provisions of the pending bill. Reviewing the operations of the banking system, and criticising as impolitic the power of the banks to contract the currency, be said the ideas lepresented by the Greenback and Republican parties respectively were excesses to be avoided, and that the Democratic party stood between these two extremes, and wsnld keep the country, on the ground of safety. There was an irrepressible conflict between the two extremes, and it was the dnty of Congress to restrain both.

Teller said he was opposed to the bill, not becausa he thought the bonds could not be sold, but because he was disinclined lo continue the everlasting tinkering. of the finances, and failed to see tbat refunding would bs of any advantage to the Government. Proceeding to discuss the silver question, he took issue with the recommendations of the Secre

tary of the Treasury for the discontinuance of silver coinage, claiming that the West would never consent that silver should lose its rightful place as a money metal. He would favor a measure placing die two money metals on the same basis, and enabling the silver producer to go to the mint on equal terms with the gold producer.

Pendleton supported Vests amendment. He said it provided that banks intending to increase their circulation, and citizens desiring to organise new banks, wall take the new bonds as a basis for their circulation. He could see nothing unreasonable or unfair in this. His colleague [Sherman] had spoken of the banks as the weakest factor in politics, but these banks which h\s colleague thought so weak had twice successfully attacked funding bilb, once in 1879, when they captured the Hou» of Representatives and prevented his collsague from attaching to the bill then pending a section which he urged as a necessary safeguard for the Government. And again, in 1881, when they attacked the bill passed by the deliberate judgment of both Houses ol Congress, which was vetoed. His colleague's statement in regard to that matter was that at the first blast of the bugle the banks ran. It was true they ran, but they ran at the President and at his Secretary of tbe Treasury, Pendleton said the banks had been enormously paid for whatever of benefit they had been to the Government. They had enjoyed a monopoly of tlw currency, and had been the sole depositories of public funds to the amount of- $100,000,000. Upon a basis of $450,000,000of capital they had in twelve yesra divided $550,000,000 of profit, and retai ned a surplus fund of $128,000,000 having cleared, as had been shown by the Senator from Missouri [Vest] a per centage upon their capital of 84.10. His colleague had argued that the banks had no monopoly, and that banking was free. The answer to that was that they were given control of issuing the circulating mediuin ©f the'qpuntry. Was not that a monopoly? Banking was free in the sense in which railroad building was -free, but' 5 both were monopolies wjiere" no competition existed Sketching tbe history of the greenback circulation, and predicting that the country would ultimately attain to it in its domestic interest?,. Pendleton added that he would vote for the amendment suggested by Davis of West Virginia, providing that the new 8 per cents, while redeemable at any time at the option of the Government, shall not be called in until after the other bonds bearing a higher rate of interest shall be redeemed.

Without closing the debate, the Senate went into executive session, and soon adjourned until to-morrow.

THE HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17,1882. Belford offered a resolution amending rule 14, so as to prevent a member who has the floor frem parcelling his time out to other members referred.

Dingly offered a resolution instructing tbe Committee on Commerce to inquire what change of law can be made^ to afford relief to the merchant marine engaged in the foreign carrying trade, and* what measures can be adopted to promo'e our ship building and other commercial interests referred.

Crapo, chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency, reported back the resolution directing the Secretary of the Treasury to inform the House what number of National Banks have been organized from July 1st, 1881, and January 1st, 1882, the amount of capital of each, the character and description of United States bonds held by the Treasury as security for their circulation,, and aiso calling for similar information as to the banks where corporate existence shall expire between January 18^1882, and January 1st, 1884 adopted.

Harris, of Massachusetts, offered a resolution originally offered by Hewitt^ calling on the Secretary of the Navy for the report of the minority of the commission organized to consider the condition of the Navy also, for specific informaition as to the present condition of the navy adopted.

The call of committees being concluded, Robeson called up the report of the Committee on Rules increasing the membership of various committees of the House. He stated that there were thirteen committees whose members had belore them now neafrly 90 per cent, of all the business of the House. As Robescn concluded his brief remarks, he demanded the previous question. A storm of "Oh noes," came from all parts of the chamber. The confpsion was very great, three or four members speaking at the same time, and several others being on their feet with parliamentary inquiries. As soon aB he could b9 heard, Robeson declared that hia intentiou was to have the previous question ordered, and then give the fullest possible debate, and farther stated that he wished thereby to ofler an amendment. "Then let us vote it down," cried several members,

Robeson insisted on his demand for the previous question, but Robinson, of New York, befofe the queftion could be submitted, moved te'lay the whole subject on the table, and the motion was lost.

Robeson then stated that on behalf of the Committee on Rules he would recede from his position and withdraw the demand far the previous question.

Page offered an amendment that the Committee on Improvement of the Mississippi River shall not have authority to report appropriations on that subject.

Robeson said there was no intention to give the committee that power. Kelley offered an amendment to strike out th9 clause increasing the membership of the Ways and Means Committee.

Hutchins opposed the report of the Committee on Rules. He spoke in a vein of sarcasm, and pointed out what he Called the incongruities existing in the formation of the committees.

Kenton aUo opposed, the report of the Committee on RuleA| and said that so far as b9 knew this motion did not come from the gentlemen vbo felt themselves misplaced or not placed properly. Very little complaint had come to bis ears from members of the House. That there was dissatisfaction undoubtedly was the fact. It might be more or might be leas than existed heretofore. The House had & Speaker who had performed his duties as he thought wise. The House proposed to stand by the Speaker and do its dnty. But he was opposed to increasing the membership of the committees. No committee had asserted that it needed more members. Why had npt the framers of the pending proposition inquired of the various chairmen whether they desired to increase the -membership? Oo principle, he thongbt it wrong to arrange committees with regard to personal desire, if personal derire existed. His experience had taught him that more business was done by small committee* thau by large one?. If tlie committees consisted of three members he thonght mure business would be done than when they consisted of eleven, thirteen or fifteen. He advocated a measure by which the House should be charged with the duty of appointing the committees. It would be no disrespect to the 8peaker. He had done a duty, always embarrassing, imposed upon him by the rules. Such a measure would relieve him from tbat embarrassment. That embarrassment and that inducement to bribery by offer of places in the eleetion of Speaker should be done away with at once and forever. [Applause.] Every Speaker ought to be removed from temptail&n.

After considerable discussion Orth offered as a substitute a proposition to refer the appointment of committees at the beginning of each Congress to a commission created tot the purpose, but withont disposing of tbe matter tbe House adjourned.

Perils ol Pole Climbers.

*'A western telegraph pole climber tells a stirring tale of the hardships endured by men of his trade. They are often forced to climb rotten poles, especially in the rural districts. In one case, when a polo broke under him, he held on to the cross-piece, and the wires let him down gently to the ground. But perhaps the greatest danger is from the electricity, which sometimes knocks men from the poles. In damp weather, especially, they are liable to receive severe shocks when they touch two wires at once with different parts of their bodies. The climber said: '*1 tell you it is afearful contract to undertake to fix a broken wire on a wet day. I have seen someof the boys kick ana squirm on the crosspieces, and yell so loudly that you would think they had gone off into spasms. I have, in my mind one man in particular who came near breaking his neck. He was what you call one of your 'smart Alecks.' It was a damp, rainy day in September when he went up to splice a wire. As soon as he reached the first cross-piece he thought he would' make the boys laugh by performing various antics so he set astnde one of the wires near tbe pole, and caught holdof another. The batteries attached at the ends of both wires were heavily charged, and he was so badly shocked that the men were compelled to go up and take him down. In fact, the shock almost killed him."
