G. W. HOWARD HONORED^.

The T»rdm»ur of the E. 4 T. Bunted With an Eicgant Gold Wa'cta and Chain Laot Evening by Ballrond

Men of this City. Mr. George W. Howard, tor the past two years yardmaster of the E- & T. H. in this city, was presented with ka»d_ some $200r gold watch and chain by 4Kb members of the B. of L. E. and Order of Railway Conductors las® night. U*e plan was neatly arranged, and Mr. Howard was taken completely by surprise. The members of both organizations and number of invited friends assembled at' the hall, corner Seventh and Main streets to' v.

pass

evening of social en

joyment. An adjournment was taken to a restaurant and a splendid supper partaken of. Returning to the hall Train Master O. E. Raidy, of the Vandalia, was made chairman. He stated that Mr. Howard had es'gned his present position become master of transportation of the L., N. A. & C. railroad, and that the meeting was in the natuie of a farewell to a gentleman of excellent standing among railroad men and the people of Terre Haute. Mr. Howard was called forward and Mr. Robert Ebbage, formerly a Vandalia engineer but now a farmer, marie the presentation speech -briefly as follows:

I do not often have an opportunity to enjoy the felicity of a reunion with old comrades of Division 25. It confers upon me no small of pride in being present with you this evening, particularly since we are assembled to pay a feeling tribute to one of our most worthy members one whose name is near and dear to yon all, and who has done as much as gay other member to place our division as high up in the ranks as any of her sister lodges in our noble brotherhood. brother Howard, to you is due much credit for the faithful manner, in which have discharged every trust rein your "keeping. We have ieard with deep regret that you have been called away from us. But our regret is in a large degree mitigated, and we are profoundly pleased to know that you are called to a higher and more important position than that which yon. have just occupied. In behalf of the members of Division 251 congratulate you cordially upon your piomotion and it is scarcely necessary to add -that onr very best wishes attend you in your new field of labor. Brother Howard, it is a pleasing duty, in behalf of the members of the Yardmasters' association and Division No. 25, to present to you this elegant gold watch and chain, as a trivial token of their admiration aDd esteem.

Accept it, and be assured that with it goes the "God bless you" of every member of both associations. •Mr. Howard was taken completely by surprise «nd with difficulty said a few words. He stated that the surprise was so complete that he could not reply,to which some one jokingly remarked it was the first time he could not talk. He said he hoped to be able to speak to them later

Colonel R. B. Woolsey, chief train dispatcher of the Vandalia, was called upon and responded in a few choice remarks. He said he could easily understand why Mr. Howard failed to make a speech. Mr. Howard, he said, was as worthy of such a present as any one could be. He is an old-timer and deserving of his new position. The colonel" feels deeply in Mr. Howard's welfare and is glad see him succeed.

Eopedin

Yardm aster George Likert, of the Vandalia, said that in all his relations with Mr. Howard he had always found him a gentleman. He very much regretted bis departure, but hoped that his future will be bright and successful.

Mr. Crandall, of the Vandalia, said he had worked with Mr. Howard. He remembered when Mr. Howard was_ brakeman he frequently punched him while dozing in the caboose and told him to go on top. He had worked with him as a yardman, a brakeman, a fireman, a superintendent of a stock yard, a trainmaster and as a superintendent. He had seen him rise and fall, but it is impossible to keep a good man down.

Yardmaster Goodman, of the I. & St. L. testified as to Mr. Howard's ability as a yardmaster and excellent social qualities.

Messrs. Charles Bennett, Jeff Welsh, Andy Walker, Arch Shewmaker, Charles McCrea, J. Redmon and June Patterson also made remarks.

Mr. Howard was called upon. He said he felt highly honored to know so much satisfaction has been felt with his work. He liked the city, the people, and' he took a deep interest in all the brotherhood affairs. He thanked his friends for their elegant present and said t&ey would never have cause to regret having given it to him. He said the only thing he lived for was to help his fellowmen. This has always been his tactics. He considers that there are other things to be worked for besides fame. The highest dutv he considered "benevolence to our fellow men. He assured them of a successful career in his new position.

CoL Woolsey objected to one statement. "He said he wanted us to watch him," remarked the colonel. "Haven't we done it?"

IMPROVEMENTS.

Something That Will be Read Wltb In terest by Kvery One. Workman are engaged making improvements at Myers Bros.' The storeroom west will soon be connected by an arch, and by the 10th the store, enlarged to double its present size, will "be ready for the grand opening. A member of the firm stated to an Express reporter last evening that they looked for a large fall trade, and it was their intention to be ready to receive a share. The store will be divided into apartments. The cloak department will be the largest in the city. It will be eighty feet long, and will be filled with the latest style goods. It will be a pleasure for ladies to go there to purchase. Hie department for children's wear will be a model of its kind, and will contain the largest stock in the city. It is the intention of the firm to keep a very

charge of experienced clerks. The fall and winter styles in clothing excel anything that has been out for some time. It will be the aim of Myers Bros, to please the most fastidious customer.

Another Escape.

John O'Neil, serving ten days contract with the city on the stone pile, while returning to work yesterday from dinner at the jail took leg-bail at the corner of First and Main, and after giving Keeper

sullivan an animated run of three blocks, doubled on him aiid gave him the slip. At this rate the stone-working department will soon become an nnness&ry factor in the city government.

M. Joab.

At 1:30 this morning Joab was sleeping, with apparent rest. During the early portion of the night hie had been restless, and was quite feverish* At last accomts his fev^r had not wholly subsided. He is .. still kept under the influence of powerful opiates. His sister who was expected here from Kansas last night, is not expected now until this forenoon.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

A Irew Briefs Gathered at Headquarters. The new uniform fatigue caps were received yesterday.. The fire helmets will be received on Tuesday.

The subscription list for the purchase of the 1,500-ponnd alarm bell will be started in circulation to-morrow.

George Regline, second assistant chief* accepted the responsibility of furnishing a weekly correepondeice to the Fireman's Journal.

The boys, weary of their present cramped quarters in the old market house, yearn for the speedy completion of the new building.

The fire houses throughout the ciiy are in fine condition and the present system is operating with perfect harmony and giving entire satisfaction so far.as the employes are concerned.

There is an elaborately ornamented badge at headquarters, for which there is a regular contest at intervals. The badge is made of leathei and bears the inscription "Awarded to the boss liar at fire department headquarters."

Not a few members of the force were sadly disappointed that the department, in part, was not permitted to participate in Coop Hannum's funeral ceremonies yesterday. Hannuni, they say, although not long connected with the department, was a good fireman

The boys have started an entomological collection at headquarters. The catalogue at present contains but one specimen, the last chinch—or, in the vernacular, bed-bug—killed by the demolition of the old headquarters. It is about an eighth of an inch in length.

!, C§Ravages of the Drumfish.,. New Pork Post. The ferocious drumfish, which appeared in the waters of Prince's Bay the latter part of June, destroying hundreds of beds of pysters, valued at thousands of dollars, have taken their departure. The means resorted to by these fish to secure the bivalves is to burrow their fins, which are as tough as hitching posts, under the beds of the oysters, and then seizing the latter in their capacious mouths, which are provided with upper and lower rows of small, closely-set teeth, munch and grind up the defenseless oysters, shell and all. This drumfish weighs^ from five to fifteen pounds, and in shape is not unlike a skeepshead fish. The oystermen resorted to many schemes to scare off the finny pirates, such as firing cannon over the surface of the bay, ana sinking the motion of which, it is thought, fright ened them away. The greatest damage done this year by this fish has been on the north end .of the bay, on' what ig^known as the "Great Kills," but the extent of the loss has beeft much overestimated In the summer of 1875 Keyport and Prince's Bays were almost denuded oysters by the ravages of the drumfish, and the loss sustained by- the oystergrowers reached nearly $1,000,000.

Mr. John L. Crosby, of the Vandalia, said he has beerf a member of division No. 25 three years. The first year he thought Mr. IjTowarcl a nice man, the second year very much better and the third year he thought there was no one like him. His elevation to a position as traffic manager ef 400 miles of- railroad was a graiid acknowledgement of hil merit and ability. He and every other member of the brotherhoods took great

ride Mr. Howard's advancement. He that God may bless him in whatever he may do.

Mr. S. L. Bridwell, of the Nail Works, said lie came to Terre Haute as a railroad man and, although he had not fre quent opportunities of meeting men this calling, he felt a deep interest them, believed them to be* _his friends, their faces all seemed famiifar, and he felt much at home in their presence. He felt that Mr. Howard was worthy of any honor shown him. He trotted that his advancement will be as regular as the ticking of his watch, and his future as bright as its face.

The fishermen who live on the shores of Prince's bay say that there has not been suih a scarcity of weackfish in the bay for twelve years as there is this season. Only now and again is a weakfish found in the pounds and' seines which abound in the bav. Parties from this city visit the bay claily, and after fishing for weaffish six or eight hours return dis gusted, without having se«ftired even nibble. The towns and villages on the shores of the famous bay, which, when weakfish are plentiful, letail them- at 25 cents for six-pound bunches, are now en tirely deprived of them. It is claimed that the great scarcity is due to the wholesale catching of fish on the coast by

seines, and that a heavy storm or two are required, as the water is now too clear, Porgies and bass are now qiiite plentiful, and the fishers for them generally have good fortune. It is hoped that by the 1st of September a short season of good weakfishing will occur.

Origin of Names in the Week In the museum in Berlin, in the hall devoted to northern antiquities, they have the representations of the idols from which the names of the days of the week are derived. From the idol of the sun comes Sunday. This.idol is represented with his face like the sun, holding a burning wheel, with both hands on his breast, signifying his course round the world. The idol of the moon, from which comes Monday, is habited in a short coat, like a man, but holding the moon in his hands. Tuisco from which comes Tuesday, was one oi1 the most ancient and populai gods of the Germans, and is represented in his garments of skin, according to their peculiar manner of olothing: the third day of the week was dedicated to his woidbip. Woden, from which comes Wednesday, was a valiant prince among the Saxons. His image was prayed to for victory. Thor, from whence comes Thursday, is seated in bed with twelve stars over his head, hold ing a sceptre in his hand. Friga, from whence we have Friday, is represented with a drawn sword in her right hand and a bow in her left. Seater, from which is Saturday, has the appearance of perfect wretchedness. "He is thin-visaged, longhaired, with along beard. He carries pail of water in „his right hand, wherein are fruits and flowers.

A Peculiar Name.

New York Sun. Dumley (who has just been introduced to Miss Doddclum)—You have rather a peculiar name, Miss. Doddclum. I never heard it but once before. I had some business communication with a man of that name in Peoria, Illinois, and

frecious

'Mi

rascal he proved to be, too. Did

understand Mrs. Hendricks to say that you are from Boston, Miss Doddclum? ... Miss Doddclum—No, -sir. I'm from Peoria, Illinois.

Some Lazy Negroes.

Palataka (Ga,) Herald. We "have seen some of the laziest negroes in the world right here in Palatka, and if summer they live on catfish and melons. We saw one of these lazy creatures the other day. He had his fishingline tied to his dog's tail, and when the fish would bite he would give his dog a kick.

These cool mornings are suggestive of colder days coming in the near future, and they admonish the peonle to be ready for the season. The heavy clothing such as needs fixing up, cleaning or dying J. H. Nelgen, the steam dyer, is the place to take such articles. Mr. Nelgen takes a sort of special pride in the finish and ap pearance he gives garments, and it is somewhat difficult to tell the differance between clothing which have been cleaned by him and goods that are fresh from the store. He cleans ladies' crepe veils in first-class manner. Mr. Nelgen's works are on the north side of Main street near Seventh.

Terre Haute^njSys*' the ref^tati$n'6f being one of the greatest watermelon markets in the west The melons from this city are shipped to distant points in all sections of the country, and they not only become a luxury to those who eat them, but they are an object of praise, In addition to the reputation the city has for her melons, the great grocery house of E.

And not only melons, but the best of every other article of con sumption can be found at their establish ment. The enormous number of ordeis sent out by them every day is sim astonishing. But this is not strange when the people go to E. R. Wright & Co.'s they find just what they want and in the best of order.
