Natural gas is attracting considerable attention from our manufacturers, especially the iron men. There is a prevalent opinion that nataral gas can be secured here if an effort was made. It will be remembered that large quantities of gas flowed Iiom the well at the bath house several years ago. At night the gas was set on fire, and furnished an excellent light for the boat landiDg. The was was also utilized to heat water at the bath house.

A Tear of Discoveries.

"The past year," remarked a mill man, "has been a remarkable one as regards the discovery of fuel. The natural gas as a fuel has been discovered within the year. For yehr» it has been the problem what to do with it. In Pittsburg they are burning hot air with gas, and it makes »n exceedingly hot fire.

SPMNGFDELD, 111., December 5.—For some time ths Springfield Iron company has been quietly at work upon some additions to their machinery, and this evening made the first experimental run upon cut steel nails. Everything worked to their entire satisfaction. The main industry of the mill is steel plate, but it is found that the scrap left from cutting the plates into various commercial will be sufficient, with slight additions of new material, to run the nail department.

THE. FRATERNITIES.

Tbe Knights of Pythias.

The members of Divisien No. 3, uniform rank, as well, indeed, as those of the subordinate bodies here, are all priding themselves—and Justly, too— upon the success of their recent fair sod festival. After all expenses are finally liquidated, there will be a net profit (o the credit of division Three of over fctfO. The uniform rank, K. of P., comprises in its roll of membership many of the leading citizens of Terre Haute, and tlieyjaie bending every energy to prepare themselves for a creditable contest with other like organizations^ at the grand international conclave, Kmghts of Pythias, to be held at Toronto, Canada, next June. Under the skillful management of Commander Niehols, the Knights are acquiring wonderful proficiency in the intricate drill of the order.

Ancient Order of 0nlted Workmen} There are few outside the pale of this organization who know anything about the workings of the order. As a matter of faet, it is the father of the beneficiary plan to its membership, in the exclusive favor of the widows and orphans. In the A. O. U. W., none but these can secure benefits.

Hie order now in its eighteenth year in this country and the thirteenth in Terre Haute.

It was founded in Meadeville, Pa., by J. J. Upchay, who, as he proclaimed, desired to reconcile the differences which had so long existed between antagonized capital and labor.

Frem Meadville it extended to the states of Ohio and Indiana and thence throughout the United States and the Canadaa. For the sixth death in the order the benefits were paid in full, amounting to $2,000, and since then $14,000,000 have been distributed to the widows and orphans of deceased members throughout the United States. In Vigo county alone over $150,000 has been paid out. It is to be said of this order that with all the immense handling of moneys in the coun try, not one dollar has been misappropriated and not an officer of the organization has been ever implicated in a violation of official trusts.

In Terre Haute there are four lodges, Nos. 1,3, 4, and 66, aggregating over 450 members. These who are now active members are said to be earnest and zealous in their work for the order, bnt it is claimed that there are many who have slipped gradually out of active membership, who cotild be of incalculable use in working up the vital interests of the order here, who have grown lukewarm. To such can be commended the statistics, which show the growth of the order in the United States from first to last. The following is a statement which shows the membership from year to year, since its earliest history: llsrc'i 1#, 1974, about 4,100

March 1G, 1875, about 8,000 March 21, 1178, abont 14,000 March 2«, 1877, about 85,000 March 19, 1871, 85,886 H*r 18, 1879, 62,298 D«c*ab«rll, 1880, 91,402 Decomber «1, 1881, 108,508 Bomber 81, 1883, 114,728 December 81, 1888, .129,127 Duoembtr f1, 1884, 148,826 June 80,1885, 148,176 Tho above statement will indicate the gradual and substantial erowth of the order in the United States. .-

TRACK TAFK.

Stockholders! .Meeting—General aoA FctsotraL Lafayette, Journal: The stockholders of the Burlington, Lafayette & Western Railway company held a meeting herG fiiP terday. A new board of directors elected for the ensuing year, as follows: O. W. Child and Joseph Lederle, of, New York G. J. Henningex, city Adam B$in, of Carroll county, and Caxl Q. Wjntes, of Danville, 111 G. J. Henoinger was elected president. The line was extended from Terre Haute to Fort Wayne, Ind., and the capital stock increased to $2,000,000. The company is authorized to issue $3,. 000,000 first mortgage bonds on 200 miles of main track sod fifty miles of branches and side tracks.'--

Mr. Mackey and the K. ft T. EL Opponents of D. J. Mackey, president of the Evansvilie & Terre Haute, and general manager of a half dozen other roads, says the Indianapolis Journal, do not make much of a success in crowding him out of the ring. Some two years ago it was said that the Chicago & Eastern Illinois and the Louisville & Nashville roads, each of which held fourtenths of the stock, Mackey holding two tenth.', were to crowd him out of the presidency. Before the Chicago & East ern Illinois peop'e were aware "of it he had purchased the stock of the L. & N., and now has in his safe eight* tenths of the E & T. H. stock. Then, flsding that a rival line was in prospect, through the Indianapolis & Evansvilie Straight Line he secures a majority of that stock, and to further check competition he secures control of the stock of tbe Terre Hante & Southeastern road then goes to work building a connecting link between Washington and Worthington, Ind., consolidates the three roads, guarantees the pay of tbe interest on the bonds of the consolidated lines, owns 70 per cer^t of the stock, and his the whip hand on any competition that is likely to arise between Evansvilie & Terre Haute. President Macke? is said to smile at the rumors which gain currency with regard to his letting go his hold of the E. & T. H., his motto being, let go of nothing which he once gets his grip on.

Mattoen Alter the I. & St I» MATTOON, 111., December 5.—Some fifteen years ago Mattoon voted $60,000 in bonds, purchased thirty acres of valuable land in the city limits, built an expensive reservoir, and gave the whole to the Indianapolis & St Louis railroad, which, in compensation^ agreed to locate in this city its principal car and repair shops. By the time Mattoon had paid the principal and interest of its bonds, it was out of pocket $150,000 or more. Up to within a year ago, the railroad lived up to its part of the contract faithfully, and from 400 to 500 men were given employment. But new shops were built at Brightwood, near Indianapolis, and these have gradually drawn the work from the Mattoon shops until the latter are but a mere semblance of what they were formerly. Indeed they are no longer the principal car and repair shops of the road, as was stipulated in the beginning that they should be. The city council have just appointed a committee to investigate the matter, and see if the railroad cannot be induced to live np to its contract with the city. Mattoon was very liberal in its donations and it is butsimple justice that the railroad should be made to live np to the letter and the spirit of its contract.

General and Personal.

The Baltimore & Ohio offered $450,000 in the stock of the Schuylkill River East Side Railroad anv for the road, which was accepted, but the company would not agree to finish it to West Chester in two years, and tbe negotiations were declared off. It is understood that tho Pennsylvania company will complete the road. The terms of the purchase have not been disclosed. sttfer.

Disappearance of a Contractor.

WASHINGTON, Ind., December 5.— J. G. Miller, a well-known contractor, has disappeared. He hod the contract for building the Gibson county court house, ut was annoyed by the commis sionere and his bondsmen. Suit was enteied ??iin8thim, and judgements piled up. lit* left the following note to his hew ii 1:1:1: ".Mr. EUis—Do the best you can. I am gnap. J. G. MILLXB.'

The Princeton court-house was within month of campletion. Miller leaves also three large contracts—two in Washington ahd one in Yincennes. Miller was un doubtedly an honorable, straightforward business man, and was respected by everybody. His creditors, however, harassed him greatly, in spite of the fact that his obligations were all secured by heavy bonds. His bondsmen will now have to suffer all losses, if any, and they are supposed to be heavy. Miller's unfortunate predicament excited the interest and sympathy of his friends, bnt his mysterious disappearance complicates matters

BAYLESS HANNA'S THRIFT.

Tbe Argentine MlnUtar'ff Attention Called to Baylef*' Wonderful letter, WASHINGTON, D. CLr December 5.Tho minister of the Argentine Republic has had his attention called to a recent letter of Bayless W. Hanna, onr minister to the Argentine Republic. It appears that Mr. Hanna, soon after his arrival, wrote home to one of his friends, and in his letter dwelt upon the fact that the country was full of money, and' that he saw there were great possibilities for getting rich. He said that he wished he had two old Indiuia friends, whom he named, and he would make them rich, This letter was given by the indiscreet friend to whom it was addressed to the Crawfordsville Argus and was published, creating snch a humorous uproar in In niana that the attention of the authorities theie has been directed to it. The Argentine minister understood that Mr. Hanna charged that his government was one of the most corrupt, but the published copy of the letter reached here to-day and showed that Mr. Hanna simply called it the most extravagant. It is not probable that th$ Argentine minister will ask the state department to take any action independently. The letter, as published In the Crawfordsville Argus, [and. republished in the Express], is dated Buenos Ayres, bctober 7. and, after relating the incidentsof the journey to that place, continues: "This is a wonderful cout try of over 350,000 souls, and a revelation to me. There is more money here than in any place I ever saw but just now they are having our greenback days over again, gold being worth 41

J. It is the

most extravagant government on earth. I will send you a paper containing a full account of my reception. I will be formally received next week. Tell General Manson and A. F. Ramssy if I had them here now I could make them very rich. My great- trouble, however, is the language. I understand nobody and nobody understand* me, so I simply make signs. It is a capital country looks like' Iowa. The soil is productive and fertile. When I get settled I will write si letter giving a full account of everything, but the ship which takes this will soon move out, and I must close." The indications are that Mr. Hanna will develop into quite a thrifty diplomat.

Speech of Bayless W. Hanna. The Hon. B. W. Hanna, appointed minister of the United States by President Cleveland to the Argentine republic, presented his credentials and was officially received An October 15th. with the customary formalities of state, upon which occation Minister Hanna made the following remarks:

Mr. President: I have asked this indulgence by your excellency, that I might have a suitable opportunity to present an official letter, suggesting my recognition on the part of this republic, lis minister resident and consul general of the United States Thus placed so near this government^ animated as it is with lofty aopiMktfonor. and. so admirable for its patriotic achievements, is at once a pleasure and distinction anyone might seek with pardonable ambition. In this connection I have the honor, Sir, to extend to yourself, the illustrious executive ol this government, the friendly salutations and cordial good wishes of the president of the United States. I can, indeed, but poorly express. his warm I friendship for tbe Argentine Republic, and his earnest hope that it may long continue among the nations of the earth what it has so notably been in the past— a model of enlightened government, and ef the purest and broatfcst sense of equal and exact justice to all mankind.

Personally, sir, I deem it a distinguished honor to represent my government hefe. Like its elder sister in the far distant northwest, the Argentine Republic, born of an unrevengeful spirit of revolution, by its honest purposes, its steady abhorrenoe of personal ambition, and its mastery of everr hindrance in the way of the public welfare, ha! already won the respect and co-operation of the very power from which it withdrew its allegiance, that it might transplant the genius of its inherited devotion to the arts, the sciences and good government to fresher and recipient soil.

It is an easy and a pleasant dnty to execute the commands of a government, which could ssk nothing wrong, in the councils of a sister.nation utterly incapable of withholding any right Such, sir, has been the real cause of the unbroken friendly relations between our sister republics of North and South America, through a long period of time at ptaco with each other, and in full accord in all that pertains to the economy of civil government, bast upon a liberal and comprehensive estimate of the dignity of the citizen. It shall be my only desite'io intensify, if possible, the humane disposition of these two great nations, now so closely brought together in the pleasant amenities.

Invoking the blessing of heavenly dews en your beautiful land, in behalf of the good government I have the honor to represent, again and again, sir, I bid yon Good speed.

Tbe Broom Corn Crop.

NEW YOBK, December 5.—Dispatches from Schenectady, this state, say the scarcity and rapidly advancing priqj of broom corn are causing considerable uneasiness among the manufacturers of brooms and brushes. Last year the crop was very large and the demand light, ana corn could be bought for from two to five cents a pound. This year the crop was small. The demand for manufactured goods has been very brisk and the raw material is now worth fr6m eight to ten cents a pound. Chicago dealers and speculators have bought up the greater part of the western crop, which was also light, and are holding back for a rise. It is predicted that the pri re will soon advance to fifteen cents. This is probably the first time that the manufacturers of this neighborhood have been compelled to got their supply of corn from the west.

T&EyLL DANISE AGAIN.

A Priest Afetnaea Kn«k Kxcltement *n*d. IndlgnaMoa by OppooUg the 8oelal Dane*.

CojrcoKD, Mass^ December 5.—Much excitement and indignation have been aroused here within the past ten days by the sdtiou of the Catholic priest, Father McC&n, in reference to the Mutual Associates, an organization of Concord young men formed last year for Lhe pnrpose of social enjoyment. Its officers and members are nil respectable, and intelligent young men, and most of them are Catholics. Last year they gave their first ball, which was a very successful and pleasant party. Friday evening, Npvember 20th, of_ this year, their second grand ball, which ha^ been thoroughly, advertised through posters and nonces in the local paper, took place «t tbe Town hall. On the Sunday following, at fthe regular service, Father McCall entered upon a vehement lecture against dancing in general this dance in particulir, and all connected with it The skating rink, too, came in for its share aif his denunciation. "We will have no mote dancing if I can help it," said Father McCalL "Who are these Mutual 1 Associates, anyhow, but set of blackgnards? As soon as I can learn who they are I shall summoi} evefy one of them before me," was the closing threat. As a result of attendance upon the dance every member of the choir (except the organist) has been "bounced" therefrom, and several of the Suhday-echool teachers bave been summarily ejected. There are about ten members in the choir, male and female. A year ^go Father McCaJl indulged in a similar' phillipic against the skating rinks apd Saturday night kitchen dances. It is sud, however, Uiat he then stated he was jwilling that quiet, orderly danCfes should take place, but not on Saturday nights. It is understock that the associa tion are quietly making arrangements for aothe{ danco.
