MARION GRANGE PAIR.
Yesterday the Opening Day—The Programme For To«day. Yesterday was the opening day of the Marion Grange fair which is held about eight miles east on the Bloomington road. The day was devoted to making entries, arranging articles and preparing for the fair generally. The grounds are pleasantly located and more than the customary amount of work has been put on them this year to make them still more attractive. Entries close to-day at 9 o'clock and all articles nust be on exhibition by 12 o'clock. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the committees will commence the examination of bread, cakes, jellies, canned fruits and butter. Thursday the committee will devote their attentions to the halls and will examine all farm and garden produce, and fancy work. The awards on live stock will be made on Friday. A grand procession of all the stock entered will take place at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
The premiums offered in all departments are not very large. In fact, the fair is not given for the primary purpose of making money, but as a means of gathering the farmere, stock-raisers and gardeners together and exhibiting their articles as a source of profit to all. It is purely an agricultural fair, and as such has obtained quite a reputation. Besides the regulanremium8, many specials have been offered, some quite liberal. Many, however, on the condition that the premium article is to be given to the one who offers the special, are not so liberal, as the value of the article exceeds the amount of the premium. The fair heretofore has been a success, and undoubtedly will be this year. Many will, attend the fair from this city and will give it their patronage, which it certainly deserves.

A Suit for Wages. yt
An interesting case was begun in the circuit court yesterday.

Mr. Norris is deceased, and his estate is being settled. Miss Dodd brings suit against the estate for $650, three years' wages. The defense claims that she came to the Norns homestead and lived as one of the family.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, VEDNE8DAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER IT, 18ft*.
RAILROADS.
The Chicago and St. Lonig Passenger Pool Goes the Way of the Wicked.
Pool Trouble.,
The Chicago and St. Louis freight pool went to pieces last Saturday because the roads were unable to agree upon per centages and the matter could not go to arbitration, because of the refusal of the Illinois Central. The Chicago and St. Louis passenger pool has since shared the same fate, and it begins to look as it the whole railroad buaine centered at Chicago would go the way of the wicked. About three months ago the Illinois Central gave notice of withdrawal from the pool, which notice expired September 10, but incited by a talk from Arbitrator
Bogue, the road extended its notice until September 15. The percentages as promulgated by the arbitrator on the 15th were not satisfactory to the Illinois Central, and it gave notice of withdrawal in accordance with previous notice. That, of course, broke up the pool, and some lively rate cutting may be looked for from Chicago to St. Louis. The Alton people threaten to make it warm for the Central folks if they cut the St. Louis rates.
Puff, of Steam.
Van engine No. 163 is being supplied with an extension front. Perry Rodgers, car tracer of the Pan Handle, was here yesterday.

The depot passengers "were given treat yesterday afternoon in the shape of a caliope melody. Two of Barnum's advertising cars were attached to the 3:45 Logansport train enroute to Crawfordsville Junction, and as the train pulled out the melodious strains "Good-bye my lover, good-bye" wers wafted on the breeze.
President Mackey's latest move the opposite of his late economical freak.

Two new gravel trains are soon to be put on. The section bosses have been notified to in crease their gangs and everything will soon be lovely.
Indianapolis News: A morning paper reports that there is rottenness in the baggage department at the union depot. The baggage men to-day were indignant over the charge, not BO much over its falsity, thejr say, but because of its vagueness, which places them all under suspicion. They are willing to be investigated, and denounce as false in "every statement and implication" the morning paper's inuendoes. The charges of corruption made by Officer Buckshot will probably be made the basis of an investigation through all the deparments of tne depot—at least in each case where any one has the courage to reduce his charges to writing. l-gsgi
IfiS The Out at Chicago.?/-^ CHICAGO, September 16.—Although the scalpers have lor sale at reduced rates large quantities of tickets over the Chicago and St. Louis roads there is no reduction of the tariff at the authorized offices of the various lines. The Wabasb, Alton and Illinois Central it is said have forwarded an agreement to maintain prices pending a possible remanent agreement in the future.
The Cotton Rat* From St. LooU. ST. LOUIS, September 16.—The cotton rate between St. Louis and New York as fixed by Commissioner Fink at 35 cents per 100 and which goes into effect to-morrow is very unsatisfactory to four of the five roads interested in the matter, and will no doubt result in cutting at once. It is ftve cents higher than the rate asked for and representatives of the lines concerned say it will prevent them from competing with Memphis, New Orleans and Galveston.
Information received this evening is that the same rate has been made from Memphis as from St. Louis. This seems to give satisfaction to the roads here, and rates will be maintained unless a cut is made at Memphis,

Raise In the Price of Watermelons. The recent heated spell had a good effect upon the watermelon market. The shipment of watermelons was increased on all roads, especially on those north and east. The price now averages six cents apiece at wholesale. This is considered a good price. An Express reporter was informed that Terre Haute melons sold highest in eastern markets. Mr. Littlejohn retorts that from a five acre patch he xas sold 4,000 melons and there are many still remaining. He reports the yield this year as extraordinary and surpassing that of any previous year.
The melon crop this year has been paying one.

HARRISON'S DEFENSE.
R. M. Harrison, the Carriage Maker, Says Something About Prentiurns on
In yesterday morning's ptfper Fouts & Hunter cards the public and, among other thines, say: "We claim that we took no premiums at the Vigo county fair, because of the partiality of the judges. "We don't sell at cost, but we sell better goods fer the money than any other factory in the citv."
This refers to me, for I was their only competitor. I write this more in defense of the .udges than for anything I care, but I wish to ahow the people how unprincipled these men have been. I have been exhibiting work at the fairs here for ten yeara, and I have frequently taken premiums, as I did this .time, and have never before heard the honesty of the judges questioned. ow to the facts I took premiums on an open buggy, atop buggy and a phieton—every thing I exhibited. They got a premium on a spring wagon, but advertised, to mislead the public, that they took premiums on bothasprinf wagon ana a carriage. The judges dii not want to award a premium on this, but as they had not entered anything deserving a premium against my work, they granted a premium on it. I die. not compete for either of these. If had, I should have entered a carriage, not a wagon, and would have taken a premium, too. There was no carnage entered, and of course no premium awarded.
are ies. of
The carts shown the Express man were all regular beauties and seemed to have been built with a regard for both elegance and durability.
The judges on this work were Robert Jackson, David Pugh and Mr. Hull, three as honest men as there are in,the county—men who have used buggies and carriages all their lives, and know what good work is. For these men, who have been carriagemakers but Bix months, to question these men's ability and honesty is an outrage, an outlandish attack. These judges pointed out the defects in their work, and took great pains and three hours to do it. This kind of unjust comlaint is detrimental to fairs. It is ard work now to get judges on many kinds of exhibits. It is a difficult and thflnfelBRB task, and when honest men who have done their duty, are assailed in this way, these places are liable to go begging in the future for competent persons to fill them. I say that men, who have done as these men have done, who will knowingly advertise a falsehood, are not to be trusted.
I have a proposition now to make. It is this: I am willing to let the phseton (as that is what the fight is over) that competed with theirs at the fair grounds be set out on the street beside the one they exhibited, and am willinj to send off for three disinterested judges—men who know in every part what work of this kind is, and 1 them decide on the merits of the work, The phseton that fails to take the premium to be sold, the proceeds to pay the expenses of these judges, and the balance to be donated to the Orphan's Home. Now, let this be settled in this way.
As to selling at coat, I am, and will continue to until my stock is exhausted. I have a big Btock on hand, and there are plenty of workmen in Terre Haute out of employment. I would prefer to sell my work at what it has cost me, and keep my men employed during the winter, even if I did not make any profit from their work, than to discharge them. When they sold foreign buggies they claimed to sell better work than could be made here, The people soon set down on that, and now they attempt, on a six month's effort, to do better work than anybody else. Having made a life busines of carriage work, I think know something about that, and how to please the people aud do good work, and I am satisfied that investigation will show that I do the best work done in the city. Respectfully,
