I LOCAL MATTERS. I —- | Malls delayed. Stock market dull. Trains behind time. TRepair the sidewalks. Shoot the ground-hog! Lent is being observed. Circuit Court, next week. Tramps are not numerous. Mutilated coin is plentiful. Cupid is getting in his work. Fox drires arc popular sports. ‘‘They say* this is “locust year.” Straight Line to Worthington! Look out when the thaw comes. Saturday was a day of fair trade. After this winter, then the floods. The ground-hog saw his shadow! The new hotel will be a first-class one.

The season of uormals is near at hand. There are two or three weddings on iihe tapis. -See those “Bull Dog Breeches’’ at Barrett <£ Son’s. The Straight-Line extension is j reaching a “focus." There were a number of commercial men in town last week. Price of corn and wheat is going up, and farmers are pleased. Pike county is well represented at the World’s Fair at New Orleans.

Pike county coal mines hare been booming all winter, and continue tc get out .large quantities of black diamonds. A glauee at Posey and Rogers’ stations show a great activity in this business.

The exercises at the high school last Friday, In celebrating- Washington's birthday, were interesting and targets attended. Prof. Crouch is a good instructor, and improves every opportunity for tlie pupil's advancement. We dare say that when Montgom- j cry, Hatumond & Hudson get their prices well advertised, their's will be conceded the cheapest store in Southern Indiana. They have adopted the cash system, and are cutting prices light and left. The Model Baking Powder is a near candidate tor public favor. Frank & i Mornbrook, manufacturers.

1.1 E. Passenger Couch Derailed. On last Friday morning, as the north-bound mixed train on the I. & E. road was nearing the UY,” tlirc« miles this side of Washington, the passeuger coach jumped the track, rattled along over the ties for about fort; feet and toppled over on its side against an embankment. Jake Schurz, of this place, was caught beneath tin falling car, but fortunately was not seriously injured, though receiving painful bruised on the lower limbs. The ear was raised by jacks so that Mr. Schurz couhlbe taken.out, as hewas pinned to the ground. Mr. Keith, the mail messeuger, sustained a sprained ankle by jumping off after the car had settled. Among the passengers from here were Lucius Corning aud T. A. Bynum, who remained in the car With a few others during the crash, the former receiving some hard bumps on the head aud slight scratches, and the latter faring a little better. It was a narrow escape for all the passengers (about thirty in number) from serious injury. The wreck was soon cleared by the crew sent out by President Mackey, aud travel was not much delayed.

Rogers & Iiro. contemplate euhirging their business at the mine%- [As soon as the weather permits they will sink another shaft into their wealth of coal at Rogers'station, on the I. & E. These enterprising men are now loading from seven to wine cars daily at their mine, and this improvement to he made will double the production, as they wish to do. We are informed that the introduction of Pike county coal into the Washington market has caused local producers to cut their prices about twenty per eeut. From both the Rogers' and Posey mines large shipments pass through here daily besides the large quantities supplied to home consumers, the Posey coal being sold here more than the other. Rogers' coal is sold largely at Washington, aud finds a ready sale at Evansville aud other markets as well as all the coal taken out from mines on the l. i L and the Air Line railroads. Prof. Stillwell and Mart Fleener >vill complete the examination next week of the hooks ot ex-Treasurer J. W. Richardson. In their work they have gone over the hooks covering a peij-iod of three and one-half years of Mr. Richardson's administration. These gentlemen will have completed this work in a few weeks on which the experts spent about twelvemonths- The report Messrs. Stillwell and Fleener will make w ill differ from that /nfnde by the experts, who reported MrMliehardson short nearly $10,000. YV mjtrein it wilt differ, can not be told as there can be no comparison of reports. The detendants have no access, ot course, to the reports of the experts. Suffice it to say, however, that Mr. Richardson's affairs will lie found to bej in good shape from the report of these gentlemen now engaged upon [his Looks. Two of our worthy fellow-citizens, W. K. Thompson and Thos. II. Dillon, engaged in a go-as-you-please, eatyh-as-yuu-can, eoliar-aud-etbow aftairjon Wednesday night of last week. A daughter of Mr. Thompson is a pupil tn the room of'Mr. Dillon at the high school. While discussing the manner of the treatment of pupils- these gentlemen became warm, and after a few blows were struck the combatants were separated, -before any damage wwsfdone to the “phiz.” The revival at the C. P. Church closed on Wednesday night of last week. It had been in progress fnlun the first of the month, and was successful. resulting in twenty-two conversions. Rev. C. W.

The Straight Line Railroad. Messrs. D. J. Mackey, President of fhe E. & T. H. li R.; W. It MeKeen. | President of the Vandatia R.

Mackey, MeKeru and Col- | lott arc three of the wealthiest, most: j enterprising and prominent railroad 1 i men in the State of Indiana, and the i significance a^d importance of this ! j purchase is not difficult to discern. ; It has been more than thirty years I since the people residing in the eoun- ! trv' between Evansville and Indiaua- ; polis Began to talk of the Straight I.ine. i This road is now in successful operai turn to Washingtoa on the Ohio and i j Mississippi Road under the control of ! j President Mackey. The building of; j less than fifty miles of railroad will' connect Washington with WorthingI ton and that place with Brazil.’ This 1 will give Evansville a shorter route to j Indianapolis than she has a* present, j and will give a direct connection with | the coal fields. The preliminary steps | have been taken for the extensionj | north of Washington and with a re-j | turn of easy times the Straight Line j j or I & E. is likely to be extended as i | indicated. | The Washington Gazette savs:"In | an interview with Cha les A. Slay- ! ! back, chief engineer and super!uten- I dent of construction of the whole Of! | the I. & E. line, he told a Gazette rep- i I resents live thatthe purpose of Mackey j ! now is to begin as early in the spring i | as possible and connect the I. & E.! | with the Tuell road at Worthington, j i and with the I. & E. to Indianapolis." j This paper says iu another para- ] : graph : North of this city ou the line | ! of the I. & E. ties are being delivered I | constant!". We understand that the j | contract has been let for getting out : the timbers for the culverts. Those j | competent to think of these things con-1 j fidently say that the road* will be opened north as soon as possible. So it is shown that the outlook Is ! exceedingly bright for the extension of the I. & E. Our people will gladly welcome the day when they have this through route to the North. The ad-1 vantages of such a route are many.' It wilt afford great facilities for the transportation of coal and farm products. besides a convenience iu passenger travel. Becoming a through line, fhe roadwould be a more valuat 1 • property.the rolling stock would be increased, the general condition of the road improved and the accotnmo-j dations better than now. The people j of this vicinity will note with pleas- j us e the progress of the read, which is! referred to in the .paragraphs above. Let the good work proceed. . j

Amusements. See Ethel Tucker Monday and Tucs» clay nights. A dramatic treat, f The Esquimaux lady will give a lecture at the Opera House to-night A tine entertainment will be afforded all who visit Schaeffer's Hall this (Thursday) evening. Miss Olaf Kfarer, the young Esquimaux lady, will gives lecture on her travels, it will be interesting, and merits a good house. Miss I\rarer stands but 40 inches high aud is most compactly built, weighing 120 pouuds. She is 27 years old and speaks the English language quite fluently. Her description of her native land. Northeastern Greenland, is most interesting. She tells her story iu a straightforward manner aud is only too glad to answer all proper questions propounded to her. Go to her lecture to-night, and learn of a land that is colder than this —Greenland—from the lips of the lady. The Ethel Tucker Comedy Company, of which the Evauyrilte papers have spoken so highly during the past week, will visit Petersburg for Monday and Tuesday evenings, March 2t! and 3d. opening in the beautiful play of “Fanehon the Cricket." The Evansville pajters say this little lady has. no equal in the part, and is equally as tine as Maggie Mitchell for whom the piece was written. The Company played eight nights in Evansville and on their last performance, which was "liaaet Kirk," the house was crowded. We hope the little lady may leave Petersburg with as many good recollections as she did at Evansville. The Company she comes with here is fully capable of supporting such au artist as Ethel Tueker.
