THE TERRE HAUTE
RAILROAD EVENTS.
News all Along tbe Skirmish Line, and by Associated Press.
John G. Williams was in St. Louis yesterday. President McKeen, of the Vandalia, was in Indianapolis yesterday.
M. S. Connor, of Evansville, train dispatcher of the E. & T. H., was in the city yesterday.
D. B. Martin, general western passenger agent of the I. & St. L., was in the city yesterday.
B. TV. Clutter has been appointed agent of the Vandalia at Bower's station, vice L. M. Seisert.
H. W. Hibbard, of St. Louis, general freight agent of the Vandalia, is at the Terre Haute house.
The E. & T. H. received a new engine, No. 7, yesterday, from the Paterson, N. J., locomotive works.
Last week and week before last the Nickel Plate carried more freight out of Chicago than either the Grand Trunk or Baltimore & Ohio.
C. B. Leet, travelling passenger agent of the Grand Rapids & Indiana, "the fishing line," was in the city yesterday, distributing railroad literature.
E. E. Kreuthoffer, traveling auditor of the I. & St. L., was in the city yesterday, checking up C. C. Pierce's accounts and initiating the new agent, E. E. South.
The word "general" in the title of general superintendent has been dropped on the Bee Line. All officers of this class are now known as division superintendents.
Ed. Rodgers, brakeman on T. H. & L. freight No. 59, furnished the daily item yesterday. While making a coupling at Clymer's, he gave up two fingers on his right hand. .Horace Fairbanks, president of the St. Johnsbury & Lake Champion railroad, Vermont, says: "I believe the business interests of the country, as well as the best interests of the railroad corporations, would be subserved by suspending the running of trains on the Lord's day."
The Supreme court of Michigan decides that if a train has come to a full stop, and then is suddenly started up again, a passenger receiving an injury while getting off after the stoppage may recover damages, even though he went out upon the platform of the car while the train was in motion.
William H. Vanderbilt is said to have ordered the master mechanics of the Central & Hudson River railroad to turn their attention to preparing plans and specifications for large and speedy locomotives, capable of taking fifteen heavy drawing room cars or sleepers over aiy part of his road at sixty miles per hour.
Speaking of the semi-annual divi dend recently declared by the T. H. & I., the Indianapolis Journal says: "With but few roads in the country do matters move along as smoothly as with this division of the Vandalia system. Business is always good with this road. The property is kept in excellent repair and dividends are never missed."
It seems to be a well authenticated fact that the-Nickel-Plate is to be consolidated with the Bee Line and I. & St. L., notwithstanding Vanderbilt claims to "know nothing as to what will be done. If consolidated J. H. Devereaux will of course be president. Mr. Thomas, general manager of the Bee Line system, will have his jurisdiction extended over the NickelPlate. D. TV. Caldwell, first vice-pres-ident of the Nickel-Plate, it is understood, will retire from the road and go to New York, where he will assume absolute charge of the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia road, in which system he has a large monetary interest.
The Straight Line.
•Every day sees a brightening of the prospects of Hervey's Straight Line, though the foremost question, "Where is all the money coming from?" still remains unanswered. Day before yesterday James Gates, the builder of the bridge across White river, and on which he held a liqn of $20,064, called at the Vanderburg recorder's office and released his claim. The way would seem to be rapidly clearing for the building of the road, and the prediction is confidently made now that the present year will see that portion of it between Evansville and the O. & M. junction completed and in running order.
Important Passenger Business.. A New York special: The new contract of the Trunk lines with regard to the sale of immigration railroad passenger tickets, by which such tickets will be sold only*to persons whose names appear on the manifest of ships, and only within five days after their arrival, went into effect Monday. These tickets will be sold ouly at Caslle Garden, or by the agents of the steamship companies abroad. There will also be great saving in commissions, since the railroads have agreed to reduce them fifteen and twenty-five per cent, to five per cent., and they are in no instance to exceed one dollar on any single ticket. This system will continue one year, afld can only be changed by one or more roads giving notice before December 1st next. For several days the immigrant passenger agents have been busy making arrangements at Castle Garden for the sale of immigrant tickets, and a large proportion of the availiable space in the rotunda is taken up for the offices for the ticket agents of the New York Central, Pennsylvania, Erie and B. & O. roads. These offices will be side by side, so that any rood can not have a more favorable position than another.
By Associated Press. The Marietta & Cincinnati. CINCINNATI,

Kelley's Success.
A dispatch received from A. J. Kelley, last night, announced that he had received the Democratic caucus nom ination for secretary of the senate, but gave no other particulars. A nomination under the circumstances is, of course, equivalent to an election. This will probably have a bad effect upon Miss Alice Fischer's prospects of election to the office of state librarian, the highest office to be given out, next to that of Mr. Kelley's.
A Brilliant Meteor.
Shortly after seven o'clock last night one of the most brilliant meteors ever seen in this latitude passed over the city from the east to the west, and ap parently fell just across the river. The meteor seemed about the size of a man's hand, and **its brilliancy could only be compared to that of an electric light. It passed just above the roofs of the houses, and its splendid appearance and rapid passage through the air attracted much attention.
Married.
Last evening the Rev. Alfred Kummer united in marriage Miss Lydia M. Lisey and Addison Peabody, the popular young engineer at Hunter's laundry.

Polico Matters.
With the first of the year Chief Vandever inaugurated an excellent reform in the manner of running the force. Heretofore the night men went off duty at five o'clock, and as the day men did not go on until seven, the city was minus police protection during the interval. By the new plan onehalf of the night force answer roll call at five, and one-half at six o'clock a. m. That portion attending at five one morning answer at six the following, and this is to be pursued altogether. The day men will hereafter go on at six instead of seven, and the night men at half past six. The city has been divided up into new districts and officered at night as follows:
First district—Miller and Dundon— From Walnut south to city limits, and from Tenth east to city limits.
Second district—Hogan and Calvert —From Ohio south to city limits, and from Tenth west to Sixth street.
Third district—Butcher and Denton —From Ohio south to city limits, and from Sixth to Third streets.
Fourth district—Akers and Farr— From Ohio south to city limits, and from Third to river.
Fifth district—Hay ward and Clark— From Fourth west to river, and from Ohio to Chestnut streets.
Sixth district,—Reagan and Smith— From Ohio street north to Chestnut, and from Fourth east to Ninth.
Seventh district—McClain and Patrick—From Walnut north to Eagle, and from Ninth east to city limits.
Eighth district—Knight and Hines From Eagle north to city limits, and from Ninth east to city limits.
Ninth district—McClollan and Kabbas—From Chestnut north to city limits, and from Ninth west to river.
An Insane Stranger.
A stranger giving his name as Larkins made his appearance at police headquarters, yesterday afternoon, with an incoherent story*in the telling of which he displayed a wildness of manner that created doubts as to his sanity. He stated that he had come in from the west on the afternoon Vandalia train, and that while seated in a car, with his partner, the latter had been shot dead. This, he said,took place about four miles west of the city. The man wanted to sell his watch to raise money to pay an officer to accompany him to the Dayton Soldier's Home, where he belongs. The man's queer actions led to the theory that he might have been connected with an affair similar to the one he told of, and he was locked up. Later in the evening he displayed unmistakable signs of insanity, and struck a prisoner with a boot. He was finally locked up in solitary confinement, ana his case will be investigated this morning.
A Divorce Wanted.
Elizabeth E. Marvin has petitioned in the Superior coart for a divorce from William TV. Marvin, to whom she was married in May, 1879. They lived together as man and wife until July, 1882. The causes for the petition are habitual drunkenness, cruel and inhuman treatment, and adultery, on the part of the defendant. The latter act is alleged to have been committed in Indianapolis with a woman to the plaintiff unknown. M. M. Joab is attorney for the plaintiff.
P. M. Burns, successor to Seeburger & Frey, is stirring things now. P. P. Mischler is cutting for him, and he has always on hand the choicest cuts of beef, pork, veal and mutton.
The extremely generous price list of the Buffalo Shoe Store in yesterday's Express caused "quite a jump" in the trade of that famous establishment. People are becoming convinced of the fact that (notwithstanding the assertions of jealous competitors to the contrary) their stock is composed of good, honest goods, and prices that almost compel purchases. 611 Main street, next to TV.
