OUK ADVANTAGES.

A Large Manufacturing Firm Inquiring as to the Advantages of Terre Haute.

On the 17th of last month Mayor Armstrong wrote to E. W. Ross & Co., a large manufacturing Arm, at FultOD, New Y'ork, describing the advantages of Terre Haute as a manufacturing point, and also Bending them a pamphlet written several years ago on the same subject. Captain Armstrong received the following in answer to his letter:

FULTON, N. Y., November^ 1883.

Hun. n»n. //. Artmtrong, Terre Haute, lnd, DKAKSIK:—Replying loyoursof the 17th lust.—Your esteemed favor has bad our careful consideration. We would be pleased to have had your health report, railroads, price for coal and fuel, maple, ash, oak and whitewood lumber, and all particulars as to labor, common and skilled, other manufactories, etc., and what substantial inducements would your people offer. We are constantly receiving proposals from all directions, accompanied by offers, ctc. Are there any unoccupied buildings suitable for our Purpose in your city? Yours, etc.,"

E. W. Ross ft Co.

Yesterday the mayor mailed the fol lowing in reply: TEKKE HAUTE, Dec. 10,1883. Mestrs. 1C. IT. Ross 1 Co., Fulton, N. Y.:

GENTLEMEN: Referring to yours of recent date, would submit the following cost of fuel, etc.: Block coal (free froni sulphur, no clinkers) 70 to 2 00 Block slack, for steam (free from sulphur and clinkers)... 50 to 60c Coke.... Jo 50

These are prices per ton delivered. LumberMaple 815 to 20 per Ash, gi een 20 to 25 Ash, dry 30 to 35 White oak, dry 30 to 35 White oak,c omiuon 18 to 20 White wood, dry 25 to 30 White wood, green 'JO to25

Contracts can be made for quantities at more favorable than these given. In addition to the pamphlet first sent you, which gives a very complete and authentic statement, the advantages of our place and its surroundings, which advantages have become more prominent since lis publication, I mail you with this two of our dally papers, whose columns will furnish you good basis for opinion as to our railroad facilities, which are ample and increasing. Our manufactories are already extensive and increasing, and our bank capital Is ample for the demands of business. The country surrounding is very fertile and productive, making cost of living reasonable, and our situation to the cities of the west—Cincinnati, Chicago, Louisville and St. Louis—being equal distance from each, and with direct fast lines connecting within six or seven hours' travel, makes convenience for sup plying any demand for labor, or otherwise easy and prompt.

Indiana is noted all over the union for her excellent schools, and in no other city of the state has more been done to wards this notoriety than in this. Besides the fine system of public schools, we have the State Normaf school, with 400 to 600 attendance: the new Rose Polytechnic institute, which will make its mark as one of the best polytechnic schools of the country and St. Mary's of the Woods, a notable school for young ladles, in charge of the Roman Catholic Sisters of Provi dence. Our churches are strong and have good properties.

We nave good river frontage, and transportation most of the year. There are some brick buildings once usedaspork packing establishments, and one large brick formerly a foundry and machine shops, which are well located, and can be leased on good terms. This city has never paid bonuses to locate manufactories, as ner advantages in themselves are so considerable and so substantial that it has not been asked. Our capitalists, however, are always ready to invest in any manu facturing enterprise that has substantial worth and promise, and I can assure you there would be no difficulty in getting enough additional capital to fully justify you in making the change, if what you propose is desirable. Of this you have as yet left us in Ignorance, and we would be

?rom

lad to see your representative, or hear you further on this point—i. e.— how much capital you would invest and the capacity of your works.

Hoping to have the pleasure of further correspondence, I am very truly yours,

WM. H. ARMSTRONG, Mayor

Mr. C^ose, late of Iowa City, Iowa, who uses one of your cutters, has just located his paper mill at this place, removing from Iowa City.

This shows that there are many manufacturing enterprises in the east that will remove west if proper induce nients are held out. There is no city in the west that has the advantages of Torre Haute. Tffe debt of our city is very small, and the debt of our county lees. This is a great item taken into consideration by manufacturers. There is no city in the state in as good tinan cial condition as ours, and none whose bonds are more sought after.

As to the health of our city, it can be said to equal, if not exceed, that of any city in the state, and will not greatly exceed twelve per 1,000 people per year. This certainly is a good showing.

YESTERDAY'S FIRE.

A Narrow Escape ami a Colored Man's Brave Deed. At 7 30 yesterday morning an alarm was turned in from box 24, corner of Fourteenth and Poplar streets, caused by the burning of the frame residence of Benjamin Smith, on Fifteenth street near Ohio. Mr. Smith is an employe of the car works, on the night force Yesterday morning he went home, and after breakfast, went hunting, leaving his wife and their two children in the house. Shortly after he left, Mrs. Smith went to a butcher shop near by, leaving the children in bed asleep, and while absent a fire broke out in the kitchen, which soon enveloped the house in smokeand flames. The men residing in-the neighborhood befngaway at work, the women gathered about the burning building and soon learned that the two little children were in the house and liable to be burned. At this juncture George Bradley, a colored man, arrived at the scene and on being informed of the perilous situation of the children, he rushed into the house through the stifling smoke and flames, endangeiing his own life, and in a moment he returned, bearing a child under each arm. His brave and noble act was yesterday the talk of that section of the city. The house was totally destroyed, owing to the fact that the fire department was unable to render any assistance on account of there being no water main nearer than Fourteenth and Poplar atreets. Mr. Smith, who is an honest, hard working man, had built the house with his own hands in the spare hours he had from his daily labor, and as he had no insurance, the destruction of bis little homeiB a hardship which he can illy bear. There is much sympathy expressed for him by his neighbors, and they are talking of raising a subscription for his benefit, also for the brave colored man, George Bradley, who risked his own life to save the lives of the little children.

Sironnia, a well-known barber, who asks that the marriage tie between him and Angerona Sironnia be legally cut in twain on the ground of abandonment, and the third is Sarah F. Thomas who asks an absolute divorce from Henry A. Thomas on the grounds of abandonment and habitual drunkenness.

The Water Works and Fire Engine Make Satisfactory Tests of Their Powers. The water works test made on Monday not being satisfactory owing to the blowing out of a plug at the corner of Fifth and Poplar streets, yesterday a second test was made and a trial of power had between the water works and fire engine. At 3 o'clock an alarm was turned in, which brought the engine and hose reels to the corner of Sixth and Main streets, where the test was made. Six streams from the water works played at the corner of Sixth and Cherry streets, throwing the water fully 100 feet high, over the Koopman block. A trial test was then had with single streams from the water works and fire engine on the steeple of the Congregational church. The water works, with only one of the engines operating with a force of 110 pounds at the works, equal to 90 pounds on the pipes, threw a power* ful perpendicular stream to the height of 125 feet on the church spire. The engine throwing a medium stream from a cistern to the height of 115 feet, or ten feet less than thrown by the water works. A test was then made in throwing a horizontal stream along Sixth street, the water works throwing 157 feet and the engine 145 feet. The tests of both apparatus were satisfactory and proved conclusively that in case of fire they could cover any building in the city. The test was made in the presence of Councilmen

Kolsem, Grace and Sachs, of the water committee, and Messrs. Crapo, Fitzpatrick, Biel, and other members of the council. Superintend ent Briggs, of the water works, said he jyanted the council to be con vincfed that the water works could throw a stream 100 feet high, and when hegave the order to start only one of the three water works engines, with a pressure of 110 pounds, which sent the water in a heavy stream to the heighth of 125 feet, tne mayor and councilmen present concluded that the water works were ample fire protection for the city. With the three engines at work a naif dozen streams, in different parts of the city, can be thrown to the top of the highest buildings. After the test, the council committee visited the water register in the basement of the Beach block, where at est. of the water pressure was made with one engine, which raised from forty to one hundred pounds in less than a minute.

The people want good goods and are willing to pay a resonable price for them, and in a city as large as ours, with a splendid farming country around it, and sucli nice level roads that you can drive for miles and not get off a good road, there are enough 'people to bny all that a FIRST-CLASS factory can make. Our establishment pwill be FIRST-CLASS in every particular and capable of iuruiug out "{from 500 to 1,000 buggies a year.
