Terre Haute oilers manufacturing in' ilustries unequalled inducements. Fuel is cheaper than in any city in the west, so cheap that flour is manufactured at less £Ost for power than prevails anywhere else in the country. There are nine railroads leading into the city, making freight rates cheaper than for any city •)f its size in tlie west.

The Express is in daily receipt of "oiany complaints concerning the stealing of papers from door yards. It iB difficult to prevent this annoyance entirely, but ada means of preventing it as far as possible, the Express offers a reward of five dollars for the detection ind conviction of any person stealing

The Gazette should read the council a lecture for adopting the standard time, a movement suggested by the Express and opposed by our contemporary.

The Chicago News thinks the triumph of the votaries of secession at I Washington is calculated to change the stylo of typography in all well-regu-1 latod newspaper offices in the country. Until the great revolution in Novem-I ber, 1881, state will be spelled with a big S, nation with a small n, and the intelligent colored voter with two g's.

The loss of circulation and prestige by the Gazette is as indicative of imbecility as is the loss of teeth, hair, hearing, sight and all the senses in a centennarian. With the approach to that pitiful stage of departed usefulness it foolishly imagines that it can say anything it pleases and that its utterances will be heeded as perhaps they were in days gone by. Sunday the Express told of the odd

Bight

Wall street when a hose reel and the truck answering an alarm passed going in different directions, the respective drivers scowling at each other, presenting altogether a most, ridiculous scene. On Monday the Gazette said this was true but went into a long explanation as to how it happened closing its narrative with the direct charge of falsehood against the Express, a bit of ill humor which perhaps arose from the frequent necessity ior 8uch explanations and which could not well be vented upon

had

ad-

mitted the occurrence was as the

a city department

which should never have occasion for apologies, something by the way, that will not rebuild a burned building. Therefore the Express called attention to the display of ill humor that took the form of a direct accusation against the Express and reminded the Gazette that it kept standing at the head of a column a statement that it had the largest city circulation, statement that is not true, and that it had frequently been informed

It never knows when the point is made against it and like conceited persons is constantly open to the charges which it makes against others. Here it is for instance upbraiding the Express for not correcting that which we have shown needs no correction when it is notorious for refusiu to repairman injury done in its columns. When it is called to at count for this sort of thing, as it was recently by the Express, for npolo gizing by a postal caid for an nrtjele in the paper, it went into in and

The attempt to dispel the impression that Carlisle's election was a victory for the solid south with all that term implies, will not be successful. At Cynthiana, Kentucky, October 28th, 1S7G, Carlisle made a speech, in the course of which he used the following language: "I deny that the United States is a nation.

Chicago News. The tire in the Chicago Evening Journal office was muoh more disastrous than tlie public had feared. Tlie paper appeared as usual yesterday afternoon.

Kentucky's Capture.

Indianapolis News. Kentucky carried off nearly everything last night. Four sons of Kentucky actually captured the four principle offices, viz.: Carlisle, speaker Gen. Clark, clerk Jim Wlntersmith, doorkeeper, and Lycitrgus Dal ton, postmaster.

Chicago News. William 8. Holman is supposed to have been much gratified by the election of Mr. Carlisle to the speakership. When he heard of it he quietly drew a plug of gravelly out of his pants, bit a corner lot out of it, and significantly ejaculated, "We'll, I snum!"

The "Old Ticket" in Texas. Fort Worth (Texas) Gazette. It is not to be denied that quite a number of the Texas papers are favorably inclined ta "the old ticket."

Some Misstatements Concerning the T. H. & 8. E. Cpryeeted^-,

The Terro Haute ft Southeastern.

The Indianapolis Journal of yesterday says: The death of Col. Win.'fuel!, president of the Terre Haute A .Southeastern road, was a matter of some comment, yesterday, in railroad clrbles, so well was the colonel known and so many friends bad lie. Although a mau of great determination when be undertook to do a thing, whether on the right or wrong side, he was still ready to aid the poor, and any cause which met with his a(mroval, and several cases might be cited where his contribution for charitable purposes were really in excess of theamounts warranted by his means. Speculation is now rife as to what will become of the Terre Haute fc Southeastern rorid, which is forty-one milcsln length, is stockvd at (240,0W)and bonded for the same amount.' Some eighteen pionths ago, when in close quarters, Colonel Tuell Dorrowed $150,000of the Bee Lino people, turning Ills stock over to them as security. Whether tbe Bee Line people will gather this in on this security, or whether some other party will step in between, pay tlie S150,000iand save it to tbe estate, is the question. It Is intimated that the Vandalia people will, now that the properly is virtually on the market, make an effort to secure the road as.a feeder at least it is probable that the l?eo Ltne people will be forced to pay more to get possession of the road than they would had Colonel Tuell lived to sec the outcome of making the loan above mentioned. The decease of Colonel Tuell removes the greatest obstacle to the building of what is called the Terre Haute Belt road, as his opposition to tlie enterprise was bitter, and as ivlitigant he was pertinacious and successful to sucli an extent as to defeat its .construction during his lifetime.

It was earnestly hoped that the discussion of this question would be de-j layed for a few days at least. An Express reporter was informed yesterday, by one who has been closely connected with Mr. Tuell in railroad afiairs for years, that the general drift of the Journal's article in incorrect. In the first place the bonds of the road amount to $260,000, and will not have to be paid for several years. In the next place Mr. Tuell never borrowed $150,000 from the Bee Line, and never turned his stock over as security. A few weekB ago Mr. Tuell told the reporter, when the Journal started the, Bensational story of the Bee Line negotiating for the T. H. & S. E.. that there was nothing in it. '.'And, said the gentleman yesterday, "the same thing could be reiterated now. The Bee Line has ho claim whatever on the T. H. & Sr E. Mr. Taell borrowed $150,000, but not from the Bee Line. The money is not due for almost a year, and when it is ample provisions will undoubtedly be made to pay it."

The T. H. & S. E. is forty-one miles long, and is a good piece of property. It is paying handsom&dividends. The road bed and track has been improved greatly within the last eighteen months. The rolling stock lias been bettered, and it is in splendid condition. The road has a good traffic, and there is no necessity of making any change whatever. The remaining directors, Messrs. John S. Bedcli, Herman Hulman, B. Y. Marshall, A. Shaw and Geo. F. Jenckes, will meet within a few days, and will elect a president and fill the vacancy in the directory. The reporter's informant says that! there is no necessity of making any sacrifice, and everything will move on] smoothly.

In all probability the presidency will be offered to a gentleman who has been! closely connected with the road during Mr. Tuell'B administration.

The Proposed T., I. its W.

To-uiori'ow the incorporators of the Toledo, Inilicknapolio A Woetwn roilroad meet in Indianapolis elect directors and officers. This is another road that is as yet on paper. The project is to build a road from Toledo to Indianapolis, and from Indianapolis southwest to a point in Illinois. The route, after crossing the river, will traverse the same territory as the proposed Terre Haute & Southwestern, As stated, the road is still on paper. It is stated that a German syndicate: has offered money to build the road if! the projectors will see that the first fifty miles is built. This will be tliej rub. f/g": •V General Mention'.'

The Reports.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. T1m» reports by cabinet officera to the

prenaent are, with the exception of that of tlie secretary of ihe treasury, given to the public a day or two in advance of the meeting of congress.

The interesting feature of the attorney general's report this time is tbe cruel exposure of the utter unreliabiliof the administration^ of justice in the District of Columbia. He tells the public just how it happens that unquestionable rascals can Hot be convicted, and his little chapter on "juryfixing" is remarkable in official literature.

Other Matters,, •_ ^itn lndhm question. Mwe raoileyier wanted for the signal service, and it iB evident thait the secretary is not happy about the situation of Lieutenant

Greely, who has,by a series of blunders, been exposed to the gravest perils t»f the'Arctic regions.

The Secretary doas not make with the energy that would have been gratifying, the necessary- recommendations that there shall be guftlcient appropriations to send the swiftest ana strongest ships obtainable to the rescue at the earliest moment next summer. He refento the subject, however.

The Secretary of tbe Interioi does not gush much with kindness over the Indians. His language is rather that of the frontiersman who knows all about Indians, and thinks the best of them are those who are dead, .than of the sentimentalist theorizing about the savages of the wilderness from the standpoint of remote centers of civilization.

The secret at)' of tlie interior is not of the'opinion that Indians have any good use for gttns, and h6 would have the red folks disarmed, but would not confiscate their arms, simply forcing them to tracts guns for cows and so forth. The suggestion is that the Indian has no more occasion for arms than the white man has. it happens, if the secretary should think of it, thtit the white men in the border lauds of tbe West are very much armed. The secretary recommends positive measures for the enforcement upon tlie Indians of the requirement that they shall take care of themselves either by cultivating land or keeping cattle.

The most interesting report thus far is that of the Postmaster General, and we endeavor this morning to give the more importaut of the statistical matter that it contains, and the'points of business. That part of the report which will command the greatest attention relates to the postal telegraph schemes which have been before the country in various forms. It is evident that the Postmaster General has posted himself, and his statement of the case before the country, is against tlie adoption of the system, which, after thorough consideration, he declines to recommend in any shape that it has taken.

HIRED TO HARRY HER

And Sent Away tlie Moment After the Ceremony—A Cincinnati Girl's Strange Freak. Erie, Pa., Special.

A young lady of refined appearance giving the name of Amelia A. Koyesi of Cincinnati, accompanied by a shab-bily-dressed man, giving the name of Cbas. Traynor, of Utica, N. Y., entered the court of Judge Freeman, yesterday, and asked to be married. After the preliminary questions were asked the marriage was performed." The lady then turned to her husband and coldly, but quietly, told him that he would loBe his train if he wasted too much time. He bade the lady good-bye and left the room. After his departure the lady, remarking to the judge that some explanation was due him for the strange procedure, said: "There is nothing wrong in all this no crime, no despair, nothing tragic am simply putting it out of my power to say 'Yes' to the only man on earth it would please (and hurt me most) to marry. For private reasons, I cannot marry this gon^loman withfiiit bringing great sorrow upon both of us in the future, and to place myself beyond reach of temptation I have married this stranger. It is not likely that I will ever

Bee

this man Traynor again.

He perfectly understands that he was hired to marry me and then go about his business.

After requesting the judge to inform the newspapers of the marriage, and to forward copies of the papers to the Baltimore Sun, Washington Critic and Denver Tribune, and laying a $20 gold piece on the table, the lady left the court room. The judge suspects that Royse is not her real name or Cincinnati her home, and that hereditary insanity is the trouble she feared to bring upon herself and the man she loves.

A .Liberal Giver's Bequests: Chicago Advance. The will of the late S. M. Edgcll, of Pilgrim church, of St. Louis, has just been made public.. In the will the noble Christian man left to the American Home Missionary society $25,000 to the American board, $10,000 to the American Missionary association, $5,000 Christian Building society, $5,000, and to the New West Education commission, $5,000. During his life his gifts amounted at one time to more than $20,000 a year, and now he .uives in his will $50,000.
