The oil well boom-w well enough established for the city to stand considerable booming.

There is no city so well situated for oil wells, gas wells, coal or railroad facilities as Terre Haute. Nor is there any city less likely to "lose its head" as Terre Haute.

The weather bureau in its ridiculous attempts at foretelling the weather made its great faux pas for this region in the predictions for Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was to have been "rain" and we had a cyclone instead. Sunday was to have been "storms," and we had a quiet, every-day, set-in, soaking ndn.^

Terre Haute haa paid out more money for tickets for the Gilmore concert tonight than any city of the same size in the United States. It will pay more money for the Jefferson entertainment later on in the week than could be expected of it ordinarily. The truth is that Terre llaute is fixed to take full advantage of a good thing in concert, comedy or oil wells.

We have coal, always reliable, a first rate assurance of oil, a strong prospect of gas and the warranted to cure madstone. Considering the equalization of these advantages there is no reason why Terre Haute should

Hot

go on a big

boom. Indeed, the city can stand it, the real estate values are low enough and the undoubted future of the city warrants any boom that may come down on it.

OUR RECENT ELECTION.

It appears that It was the gamblers who were downed In the Terre Haute election and not the Democrats.—f New Albany Ledger.

For a quarter of a century the New Albany Ledger has been classed among the two or three really able and conscientious Democratic newspapers in the state. It. has steadfastly opposed the heresy of free trade, and it has opposed the rule-and-reap-the-spoils policy of the men who have gone to the state capital as the representatives of the party.

It is honest and courageous, but we want to say to it, and by the imparting of information to it to all else who may be concerned, that while the general appearance of things is that the gamblers were downed in Terre Haute, the truth is that the Democratic party was downed. The appearance of defeat of the gBrablers is natural because the gamblers have been conducting the affairs of the party in this city, asserting a prerogative by right of purchase to which an honest Democratic newspaper, like the Ledger, would not bow in submission.

It was not the gambling ring alone that was defeated in Terre Haute. It was also the ring of parasites who live olT the people that was defeated. It

waB

the ring that with no thought of "paying the piper" was dancing to costly music and piling up a debt that must some time be paid. Our Now Albany contemporary, never trilling with public nlTairs, will not misconstrue what we say. It is too honest in its convictions to do so and too wise to be misled.

TERRE HAbTE'S BOOM.

Tur.

EXPRESS

wants to be understood

as saying that it reflects public sentiment when it says that the city's cause for congratulation in the finding of a superior quality of oil is almost as much owing to the failure of the people to make "booming" fools of themselves as in the great discovery itself. The well has now been giving forth this superior quality of the iluid for a week. The experts who came here from other localities, where the value of such finds is known, pronounce our oil to be of a remarkably good quality. It is not a "pocket" well. There is oil, and do doubt, gas underneath us if we delve for it industriously. With both, and with the best and cheapest coal to fall back on, in the dire necessity, we would be better equipped than any city west of Pittsburg. We are a long way to the westward of the gas and oil fields, nearer to the growing populations of the country, and no city can surpass us in shipping facilities.

What the city now needs is advertising. We find in the great metropolitan newspapers of eastern cities and even of Cincinnati and Chicago pages of paid matter to attract capital and industry to other places. Terre Haute would be justified in doing considerable in this line.

CRUDE PETROLEUM FOR MAN0FACTURING PURPOSES.

We illustrate herewith, says the Scientific American of May 11th, one of the many uses made of crude petroleum fuel by the processes of the Aerated fuel company of Springfield, Mass.

The illustration shows the application of this system tinder a boiler, return flue pattern. Among the many advantages claimed by this system over coal are Uniform heat, constant pressure ol steam, no ashes, clinkers, soot or smoke, and consequently clean flues, one man attending from ten to fifteen 100-horse-power boiler burning this fuel easier and with leas trouble than with one boiler bnrning coal.

This system is also applied to a forge suitable to a large variety of general work. One cylinder containing burners ... is placed on one side, leaving one end open to receive the work. If sirable, both ends may be left open, especially when it is desired to heat long pieces of iron or steel in the center. putting an adjustable or movable brick partition in the center, as many burners as are not wanted can be shut out, thus reducing tha area of the fire box and using one or two burners, aa required. At the repair shops of the Boston & Albany railroad company, at Springfield, Mass., where this system is generally employed, the superintendent states he regards the system as far superior to coal in every respect, particularly for work requiring a high degree of heat at short notice.

The object of the float in the burner cylinder is to prevent the flowing of oil into the cylinder and raising above the mean level as established by the governing device in each cylinder. The float falls of its own weight, so as to open tbe valve and allow the oil to rise again to the mean level. The sectional cuts show that if, from any cause, the float should sink, it will also close the valve, thus preventing any possibility of flooding the furnace or overflow in tanks.

It will be

Been

there is an air space

maintained on an air pressure of from ten to twenty-five pounds per square inch, according to the class of work being done. Although the nozzle of the burner is small, from one-twentieth to one-eighth of an inch, and only a small quantity of air used, yet it must be under an equal pressure, that the oil may be finely atomized before igniting.

The Aerated fuel company have many forges, muffles, ovens, and similar fires, using over fifteen hundred burners, in successful operation, in whioh the fuel is crude Lima oil, burned by being atomized with a governed air pressure, very similar in quality to natural gas and free from danger. Its advantages are, no in creased rates of insurance, for the btst insurance companies approve of the system no odor no chimney connection needed no sulphur or other impurities, as is the case with coal perfect combustion and regulation and cheaper than any fuel, not excepting natural gas, unless the consumer owns his own wells.

One pound of oil will do the work of from three to six pounds of the best hard coal in forges, and do it better, and there is less liability of overheating or burning stock.

The system can be adapted to nearly any forge now in use, but as it is necessary to use from ten to twenty-five pounds air pressure per square inch, a compressor of some kind iB necessary, as no fan-blower will maintain this pressure. The oil ceases to flow through the burner when the air pressure is removed, consequently fire is impossible, and only one valve is necessary to control both oil and air. This process is already used for japanning, annealing, hardening, drop forging, shovel welding, heating blanks for bolts, riviting furnaces for boiler and bridge work, hoe, fork and rake work, cutlery works, mowing, reaping, harvesting, binding, and hay-pressing machinery, scale works, railroad repair and locomotive works, glnss and copper works, etc.

DIGNITY OF THE POTTERS.

The Actress' Husband Meets His Unpleasant Fate.

Bishop Potter belongs to a college and clerical family from away back, writes Gath. Old Dr. Nott, of Union college, had daughters, and one of these married Professor and the Rev. Potter, and in the course of time these descending Potters married into the banking house of Browns, whereby you hear of BrownPotter, and so-forth. I suppose that Bishop totter is a close connection of Mrs. Brown-Potter, the actress. Dignity of ^manners, no doubt, belongs to both the bishop and the actress. Yet, if I do not mistake, the actress went on the stage rather against her husband's desire, to exhibit her beauty and to earn more money than was compatible with her husband's purse. These points I really know nothing about, but they seem to have the authenticity of a long publicity. The true dignity in this case is the husband's, who has never ventured into print to explain his private relations with his own wife, and, therefore, as it is the husband only who is a relative of Bishop Potter, we must concede dignity in that family. At the same time lapses in tnannpPfepl morals are not to be corrected by mere hectoring, especially where the moralist in all his environments is typical of the changes in the age.

Another Brewery Combine.

NEWARK, N. J., May 12.—Anotner brewery "combine" has been consummated in this city, in which millions of dollars are represented. The breweries are those of Gottfried Krueger and Christain Trefzin, in this city, Peter Hauck, in Harrison, and Adolph Huppfell, in New York, and the Albany brewing company, in Albany, N. Y. It is proposed to issue stock to the amount of S4,750,0C0, which will be taken by a number of New Jersey, New York and English capitalists. The stock of each of the breweries will pass to the company, but the actual control of the property will remain in the hands of the present owners for about ten years. Part of the payments will be in

Btock

of the new

company, but there will be large cash payments. It is stated Mr.Krueger will receive $1,000,000 in cash, while Mr. Hauck is put down for $500,000.

Replevin Suit for Seven Goslings.

H. J. Douglass was the plaintiff and Fredericka Rees the defendant in a replevin suit, involving seven goslings, in Justice Felsenthal's court last week. The suit was dismissed Saturday because the plaintiff did not prosecute the case. The plaintiff stated, when entering the suit, that he owned a goose which was the own and only mother of .seven goslings,

that the said seven goslings strayed away and that defendant claimed them. The goslings were replevined, bat defendant refused to surrender them to the officer, saying that the goslings were her own property, because he owned a goose which was the own and only mother of eight goslings that had strayed and one of whioh had disappeared.

LUNATICS AND LEGISLATORS-

A Strange Misunderstanding at a Ball at Columbus. Ohio.

There is a story to the effect that a stately and dignified state senator, whose home.is in Cleveland, was induced after much persuasion to attend the last ball given at the state insane asylum near Columbus, says the Cincinnati TimesStar. At these affairs nearly every member of the legislature attends, and such lunatics as are harmless are permitted to dance the light fantastic. At this particular ball there was an unusually large attendance of legitics and lunilaturee, when the senator in question was approached by a fine, grave-looking and intelligent-appearing old man, who begged the senator for a few mo? ments' private conversation, which was readily granted. To an alcove the pair went when the stranger, again requesting that what he had to say be regarded as strictly confidential, placed his mouth near an ear of the senator and said in a low whisper: "Which are the lunatics and which the representatives?" "I don't know," replied the senator. "Well," replied the other, "I believe the people of Ohio send the fools of all to the legislative hall." "Shake, old man," said the senator, "I've been there myself." "So am I," rejoined the stranger "I've been here for ten years and they won't let me out." Inquiry showed that the old man was one of the confirmed lunatics, and the senator has been kicking himself ever since.

REFUNDING THE SCHOOL MONEY.

How the New Bonds Are to be Issued and When.

The state officers will be ready in a few days to take steps toward refunding the school-fund bonds at a lower rate of interest, as provided by a recent act of the legislature, says the Indianapolis Journal. The amount to Be refhnded is S3,905,COO. The new bonds are to be issued in denominations of $100, $500 and $1,000, and advertisements for their sale are to be published in the newspapers of Indianapolis, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and New York. If there should be realized by the sale a greater sum of money than is necessary to cancel the old bonds, the law provides that the overplus shall be turned into the general fund of the state. "My idea is that the sale of the bonds should be consummated by June 20," said State Auditor Carr, yesterday. "That will give us an opportunity to put the money into the counties by July 1, and we will start in with an even half year. The advertisements for the sale of the bonds will be inserted as soon as some minor details have been completed."

Preparing for a Field Trial.

The Indiana kennel club, P. T. Madison, secretary, is getting ready for a field trial in November, says the Indianapolis Journal. That date seems a long way off, but the air is full of dogtalk, and great promise is given concerning the coming event. The entries for this trial will close on the 1st day of June. Last year there were 200 entries, and the number will be greater this year. Of the 200 entries there were seventy starters. Dog fanciers are now looking over their promising puppies with much circumspection, thinking that at least one in the litter may prove to be a canine prodigy. Some enthusiastic breeders have been known to enter in May as many as five out of a litter, sure that a prize will reward them in November. Prominent kennels from all over the country will be here. Among these will be the kennels from Memphis, Tenn., Louisville afid Lexington, Ky., as well as a number of Indiana kennels, among which will be those from Attica, Terre Haute, Connersville, Kokomo and Lafayette.

A Proposed Sale or State Property.

In accordance with the provisions of an act of the last legislature, authorizing the governor, auditor and treasurer of state to sell the land and buildings on the southwest corner of Tennessee and Washington streets, Indianapolis, the officers named appointed E. B. Martindale, Colonel DeSouchetand William F. Heinrichs a commission to appraise the property. After the appraisement is filed with the auditor of state that officer will dispose of the property at private sale. The act stipulates that the purchaser shall be required to pay one-half in cash and the balance iB to be paid in one and two years, with interest at 6 per cent., to be secured by first mortgage.^ The money received from the sale is to be transferred to the general fund. The property is supposed to be wort.h anywhere from $60,000 to $100,000.

The New Fish and Game law.

The new law on the subject makes it the duty of road supervisors to protect the fish and game in the streams and woods of the state and force the observance of the law. Fish may not be caught in any way except by hook and line. Squirrels may not be hunted between December and June. There are different limits for different kinds of game. A supervisor who does not "enforce the law is subjected to a fine of $25. Law breakers will do well to cease or watch the supervisor.

Three Evans*ille "Kicks.

In one issue the Evansville Journal kicked" these "kicks:" The Evansvilles will have to hustle to keep up with the Quincys. The season's race undoubtedly lies between the two. Now, boys, try your mettle. If you come out first-best, you can aspire to a place alongside the association or league.

The newspapers of Evansville ought to form a truBt—an alliance offensive and defensive. When capitalists and prominent men come here they ought to extend to them the grand honors and not let them snooze around the hotels and Buffer for lack of attention. It is a disgrace to the city to see this.

And still Evansville has nothing but General Shackelford and Major Nelson to represent her in government office. Where are her postal positions? Where are her other places under Uncle Sam? Indianapolis has five or six first-rate places and is booked for more. Of the dozen or more Evansville aspirants, the yd anger is, all will get left.

A TALK WITH SHEMAN.

The Ohio Sraato* Speaks ftwa Acnw tha Water. [Special Cable, copyright by Jame» Gorton Bennett.]

LONDON, May lLr-Senator Sherman and party will leave London for Italy today. The senator has been pretty industrious sinoB hie arrival, Thursday afternoon. The first evening he went to the theater, taking with him his daughter. Miss Mary Sherman, and Miss Hoyt, of New York, who is a relative of the family. The greater part of the afternoon and evening yesterday was spent listening to debates in parliament, devoting a portion ot the time to each house. Your representative soooeeded in catching him as he returned for dinner, and undertook to obtain a portion of the vast fund of information and well assorted and pronounced views which the distinguished American' is believed to have always in stock. -The attempt was not as successful as it might have been had the senator entered heartily into the game. Senator Sherman is wily and wary. His statesmanship. never has been regarded of the brass band order. In reply to questions concerning the plans of his tour he talked freely, but when asked about matters pertaining to American politics, his wariness became manifest at once. He can give out the smallest quantity of information with the greatest courtesy imaginable. In answer to the questions concerning his plans, he said: "We shall leave London to-morrow and go first to Italy. I have not blocked out a definite route or decided how long we shall stay in each place. We intend to visit the chief Italian cities and interesting places and then roam over the continent generally, stopping for some time in Paris and of course taking in the exposition. I think we shall return to London about August 1, and remain here a month before going home. That covers about all I know myself of my plans." "How did you leave matters at home?" "Oh, everything was moving along smoothly. The centennial celebration in New York, which I attended, created quite a stir and was successful on the whole." "How is President Harrison's administration prospering?" "So far very well. It is moving along quietly.OTfce esident is pursuing a conservative course, and acting only after careful consideration, I think." "He has done nothing yet to bring a storm about his ears?" "Ob, no, except to a limited extent in the matter of his appointments. Naturally some have not been entirely pleased with them, but that is always the case, and must be expected." "Are you willing to specify any particular ones to which strong objection has been made?" "I could not undertake to do that. I suppose some people, a greater or less number, have thought that several of them might have been improved. Upon the whole, however, there is no great fault to be found." "How does Lincoln's appointment impress you?" "It is a good one, in my opinion, and very generally approved by the people of the United States. The appointment is abetter one for the country than it is for Mr. Lincoln, I imagine. While he is by no means a poor man, he is not wealthy, and, perhaps, will not be able to entertain as much here as a wealthy man might." "His appointment was not urged by politicians, was it?" "It was not, but it is, perhaps, none the lese satisfactory on that account. The politicians do not criticise it. Nor was the appointment of Mr. Lincoln wholly one of sentiment. He is a sensible, able and conservative man, as he has demonstrated, and I look to see him both do credit to the United States at the court of St. James, and prove acceptable and popular here." "What of the state department?" "It is attending to its routine business quietly and properly, so far BB I am able to judge." "Mr. Blaine ha6 not yet done anything sensational or brilliant—anything in the jingo line—as many expected he would?" "No, he has had no chance to do it. There has been no opportun:ty. He can't—" Here the senator broke off, and, though opportunity was given, did not complete the sentence. "Is the Samoan matter watched with much interest in America?" was asked. "Not very much. It is regarded as practically settled. The course outlined by Germany aa being satisfactory to her is concurred in readily l?y the United States. It covers all that the United States insisted upon, but Bismarck is too much of a statesman to get into a war with the United States or any other nation through endeavoring to uphold the cause of German's representative at Samoa. He could not maintain that the German consular representative was in the right in the matter. I have no doubt the whole thing will be peacefully and satisfactorily adjusted." "Is the surplus still troubling th6 people in America?" "Oh, that is a trouble that can be easily endured," replied Senator Sherman, laughing. "We Republicans know how to reduce the surplus by paying off the national debt."

General New, the recently arrived consul general, visited both the United States legation and the consulate yesterday, and shook hands with the employes. He will take hold of the reins at the consulate almost immediately.

The Gambling Cave*.

Two indictments against Daniel Fasig for keeping gaming devicss were quashed on motion of the prosecuting attorney. Thomas Godsey and Fasig were indicted for keeping gaming devices. Godsey pleaded guilty, and said that the gaming.devices belonged to him and that Fasig had nothing to do with them. Godsey was fined $10 in each case.

The two indictments against U. A. Schaal for keeping gaming devices, were not heard Saturday, Schaal'e attorney representing that the defendant could not be present.

Joe Russell and John Arbuckle were fined $10 each by Judge Mack, upon pleas of guilty to being common gamblers.

A Wet and Muddy City.

New Orleans is soon to vote on the queetion of drainage and paving. The system of drainage in Chicago is bad, but that of New Orleans is Horrible.

Oratory at a Discount.

In preparing for the celebration of the Fourth of July the Boston aldermen have appropriated $100 for an oration, $250 for ice water, $300 for a balloon ascension and $1,600 for fireworks. Can this be accepted as a fair indication of

the relative estimation in which Boston holds oratory, fireworks and other things? —[New York Tribune.

A LOCAL PHIZ'S FIGHT. I

Nine Rounds Fought, la Which a Braall Boy to Defeated.

The Brazil Times of Saturday contained the following account of a matoh at thfl Pelican club-rooms in this city:

For some time past it has been quietly whispered that a prize fight would occur in which a Brazil man would pit himself against an Indianapolis light-weight. Last evening at 6 o'clock. Jack Lloyd, accompanied by Jack Bray, Jack Conlin, Joe Rowe and a few others, quietly departed for Terre Haute, where they were met by Sam Farmer, a light weight champion of Indianapolis, who was accompanied by his backers. The party repaired to one of the Main street clul-room?, stripped to fhe waist and opened a fisht with four ounce gloves for a purse of $150. Lloyd is a well built young man of 21 years, and weighs 135 pounds. Farmer is 29 years old and weighs 140 pounds Lloyd Bhowed science and skill but had had no training of late and was easily winded. He forced the fight from the first and had the bsst of it until the •ad of the sixth round, when it was noticed that he was much weakened and unable to force the fight. He had succeeded in punishing Farmer badly, and had his wind have lasted he would have been an easy winner. Farmer had more stability, and while he could not punish Lloyd, he was declared the winner at theiend of the ninth round. Lloyd's friends are dissatisfied and feel that he is the beet man, and it is thought another fight will be arranged between the contestants, to occur in the near future.

CHARGED WITH MURDKR.

A General Freight Agent Charged With Killing a Man In a Riot.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., May 12.—Detectives this afternoon arrested M. H. Hendrickson, general freight and passenger agent of the Raritan river railroad, at his house in South Amboy and lodged him in jail in this city. He is charged with the murder of George Kessinger, who was killed last Sunday in the riot at Sayreville. The charge was preferred by Edwin Furman, whose lands Hendrickson and his men trespassed upon to lay track. Hendrickson protests his innocence of the death of Kessinger. He says he was not present when the man met his^death. It has been stated that Hendrickson led the railroad men, but fled when the fighting began. No difficulty was experienced in making the arrest, very few knowing of the intention of the prosecuting attorney, and no demonstration was made either here or at South Amboy. The prisoner is held without bail.

Fnneral of the Oldest Army Officer.

WASHINGTON, May 12.—The remains of General William Harney Shelby, of the army, who died in Orlando, Fla., last Thursday, were interred in the national cemetery at Arlington this afternoon. The remains were accompanied to the grave by Mrs. Harney, the wife of the deceased, who came on with the body, by a few friends and a military escort consisting of two squadrons of cavalry from Fort Myer. Eight of the oldest sergeants of the Third artillery, stationed in this city, acted as pall bearers.

The Cumberland County Insane Man.

William Hubbard, the man from Cumberland county, 111., who was arrested at the depot in this city last Friday night a week, with a large roll of money in his possession, was tried before a lunacy commission at Toledo, 111., on Monday and adjudged insane. He will be sent to the insane asylum at Anna. Three hundred dollars of the money he had with him was stolen from his cousin, but the balance, $125, can not be accounted for, as he had no money himself. ____
