Mr. M. N. Diall left Monday for New York to attend the meeting of the Gas Engineers Association, held this week in that city. Mr. Diall has recently perfected a valuable invention of bis own for the manufacture of gas from wood, oil and water, which cheapens the cost of gas about fifty per cont. It's utility has been well tested In the gas works in this city and there seems to be no drawback to It. Gas has been made here by the new process for more than a month past. There are said to be about eight handred devices for accomplishing the same purpose. All have some defect when it comes to making a practical application. If, as Mr. Diall believes, bis proves tbe only perfect one, it will not only be a feather in his cap, but will purely be an important factor in the filling up of his private exchequer.

Mrs. L. G. Hager started this week on a trip which we would aay, for a lady of her well known ^domestic habits to attempt, required a good deal of oourage and determination, as well as a devotion to an orphaned boy which cannot be too highly commended. Her nephew, Master George Hager, yoangeat SOB of the late Jacob H. Hager, haa been in very poor health 'or a long time, and tbe physicians having recently expressed tbe opinion that nothing but a change of fthmwH ooulu save hia life, Mrs. Hsger started out with bim alone this wesk for Santa Barbara, California, to remain there until April next, in tbe hope that the pure air of that delightful climate may rrotore him to health. Her route was by rail to San Francisco and thence five handled miles by steamer down the coast.
Whatever may be said of "motberV in-law "—and we believe that far too many mean thing* are said of them •very day—nobody can find any objection to the kind of a "fetbeMn-law" we have just board of. Even at tbe risk of offanding tbo parties moat Interested we cannot refrain from telling tbe story as it Is told to as, and ss we have reason to know is tbe troth. When D. C. Greiner*s name trot began to be mentioned In connection with Ute nomination for county clerk, Mr. J. J. Baur, whose daughter became Mr*. Greiner ahont nine year* ago, told D. C. to pitch in and be would see him through, authorised him to draw upon him at eight for whatever money he might need to make the canvass, abd particularly specifying that not a cent of It should be taken out of Mr. Gretner* business. Upon this kind of encouragement Mr. Greiner did pitch In, got tbe nomination and made the race and this model fktber-In-law fc»isd npths bills as per offer. Tbe intelligence will be a severe blow to tboae mischievous busy bodies who have been afraid that Mr. Gratner had been spending so much money that It would cripple him la hia business. He lent crippled to hurt.

WHAT YC)U CAN BI3Y AND WHERE YOU CAN BUY IT.
In taking our customary walk around town, yeateiday, we stopped In at several of our moat popular business booses, and preeent the following as tbe result of our investigations. It will repay reading, as it not only tells what can be bought in this city, but where it can be beat procured: r* 8. CORY.
Hardware is something that Is in demand always. There is no time of the yesr when housekeepers, farmers, mechsnics,builders or somebody.isn't compelled to buy. S. Cory, the veteran In tbe hardware trade of Terre Haute, keeps a line of goods to meet the wants of all classes. It is a common saying, "y can get anything in the hardware line, from a needle to an anchor, at Cory's and it is alBO a well known fact that he soils at the lowest prices going.
WHITE A MEWHINNEY
are more active and enterprising this fall than ever. They havo an immense stoclt of confections both for wholesale and retrail trade. Their bakery is in full blast and pushed to tbe utmost to supply the city trade. A specialty just now with them is Pan Candies, Taffys, Caramels, Butter-Scoth and such, of which they have a better variety* and a better quality than heretofore. They are determined by honest and fair dealing to lead the market in this line pf goods.
A. ARNOLD.
This gentleman is one of the oldest and most
reliable
cloi.iing merchants in
the cny. There is nothing extravagant or louil about his styje of doing business —he does not indulge in blowing—but those best acquainted with him know that he
Bells
immense quantities of goods
and that his word can be relied upon under all circumstances. He goes into the New York markets with the money, buys the best quality of goods of tbe most responsible houses pays cash for them, and, as a consequence, is able to sell them as low as anybody can and be does it. He keeps a complete stock and there is no better place in tbe State to buy clothing and gent's furnishing goods than at Arnold's.
H. P. TOWNLEY CO.
The "Champion Stove Store" seems to enjoy an uninterrupted run of success. But it is no wonder. It is always up with the times. We do not believe it ever contained as fine an assortment ol handsome parlor and heating stoves as are at present displayed there. Wfth such leading stoves as the "Argand" for hard coal and the "Rotary" for soft,.and a hundred other beautiful patterns for alt classes and kinds of customers, it is no wonder the proprietors find trade "first rate." If you cannot suit youryourself at the "Champion," you must be exceedingly hard to please.

,J- H'SYKES.
Sykes's hat store is one of the business houses every good, citizen takes a pride in, and it undoubtedly is a credit to Terre Haute. There are not many towns of this size that have an establishment of this kind so truly metropolitan. Mr. Sykes has been in the business a great many years, has plenty of means, and is able to and does keep right up with the styles as no other dealer in this city can possibly do. His stock of bats, gloves and furs at present on hand is as fine as oould be iound in the country.
J. P. TUTT
Has a stock of b«ots and shoes that Is a credit to this town and we know what we are talking about when we say that he sells his goods as low as any honeit man in tbe business. Mr. Tutt is giving every minute of his time to bis business, he is buying goods close for net cash, and he is selling them at prices which not many of his competitors are able to touch. If you can't buy boots and shoes at Tutt's you can't buy thein anywhere.
THE CENT STORE
On Fourth street, just below Main, la even more popular than ever with the ladies. Mr. Fechbeimer tbe genial proprietor, claims, »nd we believe it to be true, that ho has a greater variety of goods than any house in the city—particularly In the way of Fancy and Toilet arUolea. He will not be undersold, and will duplicate not only Terre Haute prices, but the lowest Indianapolis figures, If they are any lower than Terre Haute. All goods are marked In plain figures—positively one prioe to' all. Hts rapidly increasing trade has made It neccessary to prooure more assistance, so tbst all who call at the popular Cent Store will receive prompt attention and te courteously treated.
MILLER A ARLETH.
Here la one of the moat reliable and steady-going firms in Tsrre Haute. Its reputation has been fairly won and ta, aa we have reason to know, honestly maintained. Tbe specialty at this popular boose at pressnt Is Lsp Robss and Horas Blankets, a large lot of which has just been reeetved from Philadelphia. In these particular goods they certainly cannot be ezeelled. Tbe variety is endless and the prioee sstonlahingly low. For lap robss and horse blanketa, this Is the plaoe to go.

GOODMAN. JR. CO.
There is no clothing house in this country can offer greater inducments to buyer than tbe firm mentioned above. In extent, quality, and price, their stock of ready made goods is not equalled in tbe city, while in piece goods they defy competition. With number one cutters and tailors they propose to lead the trade. They have recently opened a branch house in the Opera Houso block and all who want to see the most stylish goods in this city •are invited to call.

pertaining
to their line, snd
by good work and fair dealing are gaining an enviable popularity. FRANK A ROTHSCHILD Are now running two very large stores one at the old stand, corner of Fourth and Main streets, and the other In the room in the Opera House block formerly occupied by Erlanger. They have big stocks at both places, and we want to whisper a word in your ear. When you hear of other firms selling clothing cheap, just go to Frank & Rothschild and investigate prices. TuCy are soiling clothing, retail, at New Yora wholesale prices. We won't tell you why, but go and see if it isn't a fact.

This gentleman, at No. 16 north Fourth street, is conducting one of the nicest confectioneries and restaurants to be found anywhere. It is the place for fine oysters.

He has a good stock of boots and shoes that cannot be excelled anywhere. If you want a good article, he i» the man to go to. Pricss as low as anybody's*
G. F. SMITH
Is a veteran in tbe stove business, and of course is propared with a large and handsome stock of parlor and heating stoves for the approach of cold weather. Buyers will find in his store all tbe best patterns of stoves—those that have been tried and have not'been found wanting and when they get a stove of Mr. Smith they can rely on its being a good one. He never sells any other kind if he knows it. It is worth walking a mile to see a stove he has in use at tbe store. It is called the "Granger." You should go and see that stove.
MILLER A COX
Tell us what we all know, that Greenbacks, Hard Money, Gold and Sliver are all hard enough to get. And they add that when you do get them to do tbe best you can with them. One of theee beet ways is to buy $ our clothing from the new and elegant stock now selling at such remarkably low prtoes at 522 Main atreet, on tbe north side, near Sixth. By all means see their stock and prices before getting your winter clothes.
BUTTON A HAMILTON.
Tbe "Central Book Store" lose* nono of Its popularity as tbe years go by, bat steadily ke«pa its plaoe at tbe bead of the list of Tsrre Hsute book stores. It is now recognised ss headquarters for tbe various llnee of goods kept there. It is filling up now with all the new and choice things to be found In the eastern markets suitable lor tbe fall, winter and holiday trade. For books, stationery, pletures and lkncy notiona, then la no place In this city assumes to compete with tbe "Central."
H. RIDDLE.
Tbe stock of jewelry, silverware and watches now on exhibition at Riddle* la worthy of an Inspection by every aitlssn. The holiday sessen is fhst approaching end It should be borne in mind by every one that here Is the plaoe to find the most elegant and dsstr abla aittelee for pi saenta.
W. H. PAIQB A CO.r
This well known mode boose is bar lag a first rate trade. The stock of mwtonl Instruments, shsst music, and musical merchandise generally, at present on hand, Is hardly excelled In tbe State and Mr. Paige has aasnrsd that be Is abte to oflfcr aa fevorable In daeements to purchasers as any dealer In tbe country. Among the pianoe, we learn that the Chickerlng Upright takea tbe lend, snd that the Mason A Hamlin ••van maintains its popularity as the Morgan.
R. W. RIPPETOE.
We'll beta number one election list that you never can read that name without your mouth watering. And it's no wonder! R. W. Rippetoeunderstands bow to ran the grocery business better than any man we ever saw. He always managea somehow to hsve tbe very delicscies in the esting line that people want and to have them when nobody else has tbem and cau't get them. He always has an abundance of choice things—tbe freshest and tbe best—and sells them at prices which people generally can afford to pay. He is accommodation itself to bis customers, and onr uproarious advice is to buy groceries of Rippetoe.
THE "TRIMMING STORE." This popular establishment always presents a scene ot life and bustle—espe* cially bustle. Tbe stock at prnsent is no doubt tbe finest Mr. Riddle has ever had. It embraces every descriptiou of millinery
goodB
and trimmings and the
most complete variety of elegant furnishing goods for ladif use to be found in tbe West, Mr. Riddle has recently spent several weeks in New York making purchases for the fall opening, which took place a few days ago, and all the lady readers of The Mail who lave not already done so should, without delay, call and,take a ivok.
HUGHES & REED.
We are able to say without any salifications that these gentlemen have, at No. 515 Main street, one of tbe neatest little establishments for the saleotlalks furnishing goods to be found any where in the west. They keep a full line of collars, cuifs, ties, bustles, ruchings, hosiery, gloves, underwear, veilings, babies cloaks and dressings, etc., etc., and sell at as reasonable prices as the same goods are sold in New York.
JAMES PAXON,
successor of W. W. Byers, in the (book and stationery trade at 607 Main street, wishes it generally understood that he will at all times keep a complete stock of all the standard books, stationery, stereoscopic views, engravings, pictures, games aud various articles usually found in a first class book store.
