TALK ABOUT TOWN.

GRANT'S MEMOIES.—The "Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant" are now being delivered to subscribers in this city. The agents for tbe book secured about 560 subscribers. There are many who were not aware the city was canvassed, and have made repeated inquiries for th# agent.

THE TKRRE HAUTE POSTOFFICE.—The Terre Heute postoffice is one of the paying offices of the country. Besides paying its employes, it payB $4,820 to five mail age nts, $900 rent, fuel and light bills, and over $9,000 to the government, or an annual net profit to the government of about $15,000. J.

THE RIVER BRIDGE.—Thecounty commissioners of Vigo and other counties as far up the river as Tippecanoe have been scared by notices from A. M. Miller, major of United States engineer corps, notifying them that the bridges across the Wabash were too low, or that the draws were not in the proper place. The impression seems to be that the major has the power to order the work done. This is a great mistake. The statute covering the subject provides that "when the secretary of war shall have good reason to believe that any bridge," etc. The whole matter rests with the

and when he has "good reason to believe" that the bridge here is an obstruction to navigation, tlie county commissioners will be notified.

TRACK TALK.

A Meeting: at Indianapolis to Discuss the New Union Depot, .: .T -. Indianapolis News.

The regular meeting oi the Union Railway company was held this afternoon at the Bates house. Presidents Ingalls, of the Big Four, and McKeen, of the Yandalia Vice President McCullough, Manager McCrea and General Solicitor Brooks, of the Penniylvania lines Manager Beach, of the Bee Line and I. & St. L.,and the local officials interested are in attendance. The question of the erection of anew Union passenger station is under consideration. It is becoming a threadbare story, and the reporter does not desire to repeat it on his own responsibility but the directors say that the feeling is favorable to the immediate construction of Anew station. President Ingalls said that he had no doubt that before the meeting closes a definite agreement to begin the work at an early period would be agoeed upon. President McKeen, of the Vandalia, said that the depot would probably-be erected so seon as the preliminaries can be arranged. He sai4 that the site had not yet been agreed upon, and the selection would depend largely upon the price of the real estate required. The attorneys of the company have been instructed to perfect the mortgage upon the Union property, upon which it is proposed to borrow $1,000,000 with which to construct the proposed improvement.

General and Personal.

Mr. N. K. Elliott is in St. Louis to-day. Mr. Herb, a conductor on the L. &

Mr. F. P. Wade, of Indianapolis, district passenger agent of the Wabash, was here yesterday.

West of Effingham, Monday, a freight car jumped the track ancT delayed the

weBt-bound

passenger train

Mr. J. W. Langworthy in Logansport to-day. Mr. Langworthy hits unique card, on one side his name.and address, as usual, while on the other is inscribed a few lines of noetry presenting to his prospective friend a cent, which is attached to the card. It is an idea quite original with himself.

A new money-order system of Wells Fargo & Co. went into effect December 1 The orders will be issued for any amount from one dollar upwards, payable to either the bearer or order in 8,000 places in the United States and Canada. Receipts will be given and money refunded should the orders be lost. The orders will be remitted as exchange upon all the large cities of the United States.

Not a Holiday Catch.

About this time of year it is customary for the ''Santa Claus" headquarters to loom up in many places, and all sorts of inducements be held out to'purchasers in order to secure their trade. Terre Haute people will a.t once recognize a real chance to buy beautiful goods in the way of household furniture, when it is slated that Mr. Fred Goetz has concluded to close out his stock of fine furniture at great reduction. Every article is tagged in plain figures, and the prices at which they are marked will make them go off at a rapid rate. Fine plush chairs, consisting of gentlemen's easy chairs, luxuriant

ere, and elegant spring bed lounges, 'with massive walnut frames and upholstered in imported brocaded plush, are cut down as low as $9 to $13.-50. Book cases, with combined cylinder desk, and center tables, marble top stands, willow rockers, and, in fact, the complete assort ment is .reduced to such low figures as will give'Mr. Goetz a booming rush for

[known

the next ten days, especially when it is that he has never kept a shoddy piece of goods in his house. If the people want to save in the purchase of a beautiful and useful holiday gift this is a rare chance for them. It is in no way holiday catch, but Mr. Goetz

meanB

sell out, and he has marked, his goods accordingly.

Make $20.00 For Christmas. The publishers of Butledge's Monthly offer twelve valuable rewards in their Monthly for Dec., among which is the fallowing:

We will give $20.00 to the person tell ing us what is the shortest verse in the New Testament Scriptures fnot the revised edition), and in which book and chapter it can be found, by Dec. 10th, 1885. Should two or more correct answers be received, the REWARD will be divided. The money will be forwarded to the winner Dec. 15,1885. Persons ti-ying for the reward must send 20 cents in silver or postal notes (ne postage .stamps taken) with their answer, for which the name and address of the winner of the reward f.nd the correct answer will be published, and in which several more valuable rewards will be offered. Address BTJTLXDGE PUBLISHING COMFABY, Easton, Penn.

1 Japanese Wedding. This event at the Congregational church last night appeared so well that it will be repeated, to secure the attendance of a great number kept away by the rain, to-night at 8 o'clock with music, etc.

An Oysterical Eve»t. The young ladies of Asbufy church will give a tissue-p: per social and an oyster sapper at 604 Main street, Thursday evening, December 10th, from 5:30 10:30 p. m. All are cordially invited, especially business men. Oysters 25 cents, supper 15 cents.
