Two Miles of the Right of Way Has Yet to 1m> Ballasted Before the Company Can Begin Running Regular Cars—End of This Week Will Enish Work.
Although it was rumored last week that Interurban service west from Greencastle would begin tills morning, the cars failed to go any further west than the station here. The reason is that two miles of the track between here and Brazil still has to be ballasted before the regular service can begin. A special car carrying officers of the company was run to Brazil Saturday. The trip was uneventful. It was demonstrated, however, that regullar cars could not be run until the track work was finished. The two miles of track which is not completed yet was gone over on a slow speed Saturday. It is said that the track
The beautiful weather united with the fact that Dr. Hughes was ' to preach filled Meharry Hall yesterday afternoon. It was the regular university sermon, being the third Sunday of the month. Dr. Hughes took for his theme, "The Upper Realm of Prayer." His discourse, as is always the case, was thoughtful, pointed, and full of things worthy the consideration of any listener. The thought was dressed in the usual clear, simple and forceful style of this well know nspeaker. One of the most enjoyable parts of the afternoon service was singing of a special chorus of young ladies from the music school. They sang two selections, both of which were greatly appreciated by the entire audience.

The schedule for the new interurban line has been fixed and while the f ire from this city to Terre Hautehas been jncreased 5 cents an additional 10 cents has been added to the fare from Terre Haute to Harmony. This arrangement makes Brazil a terminus which will be thoroughly appre- i ciaied by our citizens, for it was thought by many that the fare from Harmony to Terre Haute would be the same as from this city to Terre ; Haute as it is at present. Furthermore it is claimed that the olid track going into Harmony will be torn up and a waiting room built on the new line which goes through | I the farm of George W. Riddell, some j distance north of Harmony, which means that those residing at Harmony will have to pay increased faro and also walk some distance to get to the station. The service will be inaugurated about the 25th of this month at | which time cars will be run through from Indianapolis to Terre Haute that are much larger and more convenient to ride in than the ones now in use. The new cars will be provided with all the comforts found In a Pullman railroad car. The fare between this city and Greencastle will be 55 cents for the round trip. This will give the students at Greencastle and the residents of the city an opportunity to come to this city to attend the theatre and get back in good time. The fact that as good performances will be given here as many that show at Indianapolis means that with the advantage of the street cars that the patronage from Greencastle will be j considerable. The fare to Indianapolis from this city will be $1 one way or $1.90 for the round trip.—Brazil

MICHAEL J. FANNING SPEAKS
A considerable number of those who believe in absolute prohibition and all that it stands for met today to nominate candidates for the various county offices and to select delegates to the state convention. The members met this morning for organization, and Rev. A. T. Riley, I secretary of the county central committee was made chairman. A sort of love feast was held, a number of persons stating the reasons for their 1 prohibition faith. Some excellent short speeches were made. Delegates to the state convention were chosen as follows: H. G. Macey, ; Ruben Masten, John F. Alfrey, Glenn Mankin, Lester Miller, William Mas- j ten, W. A. Graver, and Perry Wright. A committee was appointed to suggest nominations for the countj offices the committee to report at the afternoon session. The convention then adjourned for the morning. At l:3o o’clock all tt\e members of the party were in their places. The report of the committee of nominations was read and the nominations ratified. The candidates selected, were: For Representative, Richard Ita if. For Treasurer, A. C. Lockridge. For Sheriff. Ruben Masten. For Commissioner, 2nd District, Duglas Randolph. For Commissioner, 3d District, James W. Scott. For Coroner, Dr. C. C. Collins. For Surveyor, Glenn E. Mankin. While waiting for the speaker of the day, Mr. Fanning, of Philadelphia, Mr. Manuel was called upon for a speech. He touched the quick of the matter when he declared that he was a prohibitionist because prohibition was right. That, he said, was all the speech that was necessary. At 2 o’clock Mr. Fanning arrived from Indianapolis by the interurban, and addressed the meeting. He was a clever speaker of the conversational oratory type, and held the attention of his audience throughout the address. He declared lit was for party prohibition because it put government behind the law. Non-parti-san temperance made enough laws, but it failed to put the government behind them, and they wore not enforced. With national prohibition we would be able to enforce the law, and that is what is now needed. There was no change in the organization of party in the county. Rudy Burkett remains chairman of the county committee, aud Rev. A. T. Riley secretary. It was voted to leave the township organization to each township.
