Terre Haute offers manufacturing industries unequalled Inducements. Fuel is cheaper than in any city In the west, so cheap that flour Is manufactured at less cost for power than prevails any whore else in the country. There are nine railroads lead.ng Into the city, making relght rates cheuper than for any city of its size in the west.

Some of tbe newspapers in the surrounding towns are saying uncomplimentary things about our fair.

For men who make a living dealing in grain the Chicago brokers are very anxious for a heavy frost. They want to make moneys no matter how much others suffer.

The Democratic party is in a bad way when the Republican press is able to disprove by the record of votes east in several Indiana elections the charge made by Democrats that Democrats sold their votes in 1880 at $2 a head.

A cable dispatch of doubtful authenticity says the United States minister to China has been asked to sound the Chinese government as to arbitration by this government in the dispute between France and China. The Chinese ambassador at Paris has expressed the hope that the war may be averted through arbitration, a hope in which he is joined by all persons who wish for peace in every land. "Whether the United States assumes the role, or whether England takes the part, does not much matter, so long as the end is obtained.

The gentlemen composing the iirm of M. T. Close & Co., of Iowa City, Iowa, owners of an extensive paper mill, will arrive ^in the city this morning to confer with some of our people regarding the removal of their mill to Terre Haute. As has been stated in The Express heretofore there has been considerable correspondence with these gentlemen on this subject. They are satisfied that owing to the railroad advantages and the cost of fuel the running expenses of their mill can be very materially reduced by removing to this city. They will be in good li!nds while on their prospecting tour, and the chances are largely in favor of Terre Haute securing this new industry.

There is no city in the west where coal is as cheap as in Terre Haute. This is due in a great part to the cheap rates civen over the different lines running from this city into the great coal fields. The Vandalia, as is well known, has a perfect net-work oi tracks to the coal mines in Clayjcounty, and the T. H. & S. E. runs into the heart of the great coal fields. The coal fields, located as they are so near Terre Haute, and the railroads being so liberal, give Terre Haute the advantage over all cities in the west. It is an advantage that Indianapolis has longed for for years, and has gotten up innumerable schemes to build roads into the coal regions. This cheap coal haB worked wonders in Terre Haute. It has been the cause of the buildinc of our rolling mills, nail works, founderies, machine shops, car works, blast furnaces, woolen mills, planing mills, the distiller}', the largest brewery in the west, hominy mill, railway shops, and has made us the fourth flour manufacturing city in the west. These enterprises have been built up gradually and substantially. Every one of them is a paying enterprise, backed by plenty of capital. A passenger on a railway train approaching the city is reminded of Pittsburg as he sees the heavy clouds of smoke overhanging all sections of the city. Wherever coal smoke ascends there is prosperity. Here can be found thousands of workingmen drawn here by the numerous manufacturing enterprises, all happy and contented. Hundreds of little cottages scattered over the city are owned by them. They are going up in all quarters of tbe city, giving the city a healthful growth. Terre Haute's growth iB substantial. It has more happy workingmen according to its population than any other city in the west, There has never been discrimination, no grinding down process has ever been attempted. It has all been for the building up of the city. Liberal railway management has made Terre Haute the second city in the state in the point of wealth, and is giving it tremendous impetus to future prosperity and greatness.

He carried his head so high, too.

P. A. Grantham, of Sullivan County, Arrested on a Charge .. of Forgory. yrg-JC

Yesterday alternoon Detective Ed. Vandever arrested F. W. Gratham, on the charge of forgery. The particulars of the affair, as given to an Express reporter by Mr. Vandever, are: Grantham was in the employ of W. T. Leggett, the excursion agent. A few weeks ago he went to Independeqce, Kansas, on business for his employer, and while there succeeded in selling forged notes on Sullivan, (Ind.) county farmers to the amount of twelve or fifteen hundred dollars to a bank in that city. The bank was at first suspicious, and telegraphed to Mr. Crowley, banker, of Sullivan, if the notes were good, and it is said that Mr. Crowley replied, "Gilt edged.' The bank then purchased the notes, but soon afterwards found that they were worthless. Strange as it may seem, Grontham gave his true name to the bank, and where he resided, and that he was in the employ of Mr. Leggett. When the bank found the notes were worthless it placed the--..-matter in, Mr. Vandever's hands,and be arrestedGratham as stated, as the latter was standing on the corner of Fourth and Ohio. He at first denied the charge, but when several notes on other parties were found in his possession, he confessed. One of the notes found in his possession was for $150, signed by

William Doid, payable toGrontham at the Prairie City bank of this city. Two were made out to F. W. Gratham for $175 aud $150. Another waB for $150 and signed by Daniel Kisterand Theodore Reed. He was jailed to await orders from the Independence bank

THE RAILROADS,

Various Items of Current Sew*— Local and General.

Prospects That the T. C» & St. L. Will go to Pieces.

The Indianapolis Journal says that in spite of the efforts of Receiver wight and the directors of the Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis main line, indications now are that the recently consolidated roads will fall to pieces of their own weight, thus rendering' the property less valuable than it now is, The latest report is that the Toledo terminal trust is to be foreclosed by the Scotch bondholders, who are the principal holders. The mortgage is for $250,000 on certain real estate in Toledo, occupied for terminal purposes, and the interest has been in default since Jan. 1.. The bonds were placed by a New York house and the coupons are collected there. Foreclosure would create some inconvenience to the railroad company, but it has other terminal facilities in Toledo,

(partially

built, and worse things could happen than a foreclosure. An official of the road says that, with the termini on the 'river completed, the company would be glad to sell the mortgaged property for the face of the mortgage. There are reports also of a movement in New York to foreclose on. the main line mortgage. Director Netter, of the Cincinnati northern division, is going East to lay the merits of the road before Boston parties. He has already moved for a foreclosure on the branch mortgage, and wants to take the branch out of the Toledo, Cleveland & St. Louis system. If all interested parties would stand aloof for aix months they would be better able to understand whether there is any good in the system, as Receiver Dwigbt is operating the several divisions economically. and prospects are that the earning will be quite satisfactory for some time to come.

Change of Divisions.

Monday's New Albany Ledger: Commencing with to-day, the Louisvillei New Albany & Chicago main line will be operated in three divisions, instead of two, as heretofore. Greencastle, as a division point is abandoned. The southern division extends from New Albany to Bloomington middle division, Blooniington to Lafayette northern division, Lafayette to Michigan City. The Chicago & Indianapolis Air Line will be operated in two divisions, the southern division extending from Indianapolis to Monon northern division, Monon to Chicago. A change in time schedule goes into effect to-day on the Air Line division. The mixed train will leave Indianapolis at 8 a. m., the mail train at 4:10 p.m. An additional freight train, as wellt has been put on, more especially to run in close connection with the through freight trains on the C.f H. & L. road.

Aid Voted to the Vandalia.

South Bend township (South Bend, Ind.,) has voted, bya majority of 3,000, in favor of an appropriation to the Vandalia extension to South Bend.

Les Helmer, conductor on the I. M., is recovering from a severe attack of pneumonia. He was out yesterday looking quite pale.

G. J. Grammer,general freight agent of the E. & T. H., was in the city yesterday.

R. A. Campbell was in Vincennes yesterday. Barnum's show came iu over the E. & T. H. from Vincennes this morning. It took forty-six cars to haul it.

George Taylor, a high school graduate, has secured a situation in Car Accountant H. G. Sleight's office.

Earnings of the L. E. & W. for August, $140,745.80, a decrease of $20,969 compared with August 1882.

The P. D. A E. earnings for August aggregate $76,4S0.73, an increase of $747.46 over August 1882.

The I. & St. L. have just completed two water tanks of 30,000 gallons capacity each, at Mattoon. The tanks are sixteen feet high and twentyfour feet in. diameter, and are elevated twenty-eiglit feet to give them fire pressure. A line of hose is attached to each tank, and in case of fire any part of their extensive shops at that point can be reached by two large streams of water.

Shortly after dinner yesterday Bindley Hosford, son of C. E. Hosford, was run over by a street car and seriously injured. The little fellow was riding on the front end of a car on Eighth street, and when the driver went back into the car he attempted to jump off.

The "Greatest Moral Show on Earth" to be Here _Tr To-Day. .* U»

'r*

To-day Barnum will be here. At all events all that his name signifies will be here. Everybody for forty miles around will be here. No other attraction could possibly bring as many persons to town as Barnum's show. The mammoth street parade takes place this morning, the route being as follows: Leave show grounds, Main and Fifteenth street, at 9 a. in., up Main street to Eighth street, to Cnestnut street, to Sixth street, to Crawford street, to Fourth street, to Mulberry, street, to Second street, to Main street, and down Main street to the show grounds.

It will be no exaggeration to say that to-day P. T. Bamum will present' the ideal circus of the period, with itB three distinct arenas, its magnificent display of horses, its immense artistic force, its great Roman chariot races, and its superb combination of equestrian feats, with the most entertaining of ring jesters. This will prove good tidings to numberless families who prefer the circus to any other style of indoor amusement. Barnum is an old and experienced manager, and it was his shrewdness and energy which first gave the circus a prominent place in the annals of .amusements. He was also the originator of the majority of the attractions of the modern show, o£ which the thrilling lady chariot races constitute the most telling and popular features. ,Yet clowns, leapers, acrobats, and other souvenirs of the good old days are not altogether ignored. Although Barnum, Bailey & Hutchinson are thorough go-ahead reformers and originators, there is no inclination on their part to entirely ignore the traditions of the past sawdust circle, and to these they nave added the hippo drome and the feats of the performing elephants. In every one of tne numerous departments which constitute this enormouB caravansary the picked talent of the world is employed, and in regard to tbe quality of the triple programme to be interpreted the public feel so.satisfied in advance of its general excellence that tbe great tents va3tas they are, will be inadequate to accommodate the multitudes from city and suburbs who have slready manifested their eagerness to participate in the initial exhibition to admire and wonder at the colossal Jumbo, and to become interested in the antics of the baby elephant.
