MR. H. M. ROGERS gave a "concert" ou Tuesday evening, at Dowling Hall, all by himself. Though he was the only singer, the entertainment was highly successful—on his part. As to the crowd in attendance, the floor held them safely without breaking down!

THE MAIL was mistaken in stating that Judge Carlton's horse was the most thrifty and industrious and generally royal horse in town. The animal which is now to the front is that of IS. Ohm. The name of the latter is "Sobnapps," because he schnapps off the tails of white dogs, and the ears of black ones.

BLANCHE, the interesting little daughter of Ben G. Cox, died on Monday. The funeral occurred on Wednesday. Beautiful floral decorations were prepared, including a large stand of white flowers with the letters B. C. arranged in small lavender dblored blossoms in the oenter.

MRS. ELIZABETH SACKRIDER committed suicide at Darwin on Monday, by drowning herself in the Wabash. She owned some property in this city. Her mind had been oppressed by the death of her husband, the loss of much of her property, and other discouragements. She resided with her nephew, Madison Hatfield, at Darwin. -H' -i.iw'

IT is rather singular that Fred Schaffer, for stealing cattle, was on last Saturday sent up for five years, though he was only an accessory in the crime while his brother Chris, was principal, and was sentenced to only two years. The difference in degrees of punishment was due to trials by different juries. Thus is the just Judgment of the grest and infallible American jury.

"HUBTOWN" is the name now applied to the. north-eastern elbow of the city, in the neighborhood of the hub and spoke factory. Real estate men look fondly upon that lecality and say it is more lively than any other. They cite the Danville shops, the wheel factory, the pipe and stone factory, the asylum, the Polytechnic and the new city sohool building, as evidences of civilization.

THE Sullivan Democrat says that much ill feeling was manifested on account of the city election being held here on Tuesday, which was the day of the excursion to Vincennes, in which many Democrats participated, thus giving the election to Mr. Fairbanks. The facts are that the appointment was made by a Council which is decidedly Democratic, and the excursion returned in time to allow all who went to vote. Furthermore, it is generally thought the return of that train full of Democratic Irishman was what defeated Black.

AGRICULTURAL MENTION.

Baled wheat is quoted at 9.33%. No. 5 is about the right size of shot for shooting potato bugs.

Farmers should ru*h in early for their harvesters lor the new corn crop, as there is no competition between dealers in agricultural implements, and the supply is limited.

An exchange states that blue'glass is a sure remedy for hog oholera. Tt is first pounded fine and then administered with the feed.

Gapes in ohlckens may be cured by tying a string around the bill of each chick so it can't get its month open. 1:

Corn in the ear may be extracted by means of a tea spoon. It is inadvisable to use coal tongs.

The best thresher is found to be a young Jbot strong school teacher from the interior districts.

This month is the best time to prune pickle bushes. Tarred rope is the lieet thing yet dieto vered for bands for bundles of rye, as the smell of the tar prevents the. geese from gnawing it off while the bundles are drying in the field. The same is also good thing for horse thieves.

The best way to kill grasshoppers is to lay bricks on thorn. Horses of a dun color an suitable for riding on collecting expeditions.

The existence of the Turkish war is not thought likely to affect the price of tobacco, as the Russians are raising smoke of their own.

It has been found that cows of a dark sorrell color usually give the most buttermilk.

Only city grangers use lawn mowers in cutting hay, for the reason that when used in the country their terrific noise frightens the sheep, preventing digestion and making them restive while bring sheared.

It is on the occasion of the Annual Festival of the Turners Societies of the United States.

-,t, AMCB1TECTUBAL.

Probably the tturgeat affair in the way Qt.hullding this season will be the NEW BAPTIST OBUROH, on the corner of Chorry and Sixth streets. We note the advanoe in the edifice with pleasure. The services connected wltb laying the corner stone will be held the last of this month. Hundreds of people have seen the admirable plans of Mr. Eppinghousen at the Central bookstore where they are on exhibition. The building is186.feet long by 60 feet wide, The audience room, whioh will be capable of seating more than eight hundred people, is In good proportions for grace and beauty aa well as for accoustio propertles. Numerous ventilating shafts, large windows and high walls insure comfort. The circular arrangement of seats ascending from the pulpit with gentle inclination and a convenient gallery insure a good access to spesker and singers. It will be an admirable room for large publio meetings. Two reasons hare chiefly made immediate building necessary to the church: the faat that the andience has often been much too large for the old house, and the fact that materials can now be secured with reasonable cost. Subscriptions from citizens not members of the church would be gladly received in aid of a worthy enterprise. It is a movement which will secure the increased usefulnessof aohurcb which with others makes our city a desirable home for large classes of people.

The next principal prize for which the builders are angling this season is the buildings to be erected supplementary to the "W

ROSE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE. A representative of The Mail was shown the plans of the buildings by Mr. W- S. Clift. They will stand In the shape of an L. The part in Vhioh the machine shops will be, is to be 113 feet long and 45 feet wide, lying toward the east and the west. At right angles to it, facing west, will be the part containing the office, engine room, smiths' shop, iron room, boiler room and brass foundry. This will be 150 feet long, including the width of the machine shops. The office will be near the angle of the buildings, with the engine room adjoining it. The machine shop building is to be two stories high, and the other buildings will be one story structures, all of brick.

WILLARD STALWT,a

JOHN

young man whose

home has been in or near this city many years, snd who has followed the business of sn acrobat, has brought suit for fl,000 damages again* William Mills, a wealthy farmer of Edgar county, Ills., for causing him to fall and break his arm while walking a rope. Young Staley and his partner gave a performance at Chrisman, on the Fourth, and were giving another at Ridge Farm on the Fifth. The rope wss sixty-five feet long and stretched thirty-two foet above the groflnd. Staley had walked Its length twice, and was two-thirds of the way back a third time, when Mills palled the rope twice. SUlfcy still kept his place, with difficulty, when Mills jerked the rope again. The boy then dropped his balance pole and foil, catching at the rope with both hands. His left hand missed it, but his right grasped it firmly, and the weight of Ids bogy coming suddenly upon the arm twisted it terribly and broke it at the elbow, se that be foil to the ground. His friends say they can prove that Mills pulled the rope aalidottty, having first expressed an intention to do so. Staley is "laid up" for the season. The neighborhood there is considerably excited, and indignant at MUlS. -'Ifc-/'

Dm, a highly respected dtl-

asn and an old resident, died on the 6th inst., at his late residence, No. 916 north Seventh street, aged 74 years. The funeral was conducted by ministers Greene and Darwood, on Tuesday. Mr. Davy was the fhther of the city police officer of that name.

THE Terre Haute Brown Stockings have arranged to make a tour of towns in the northern part of the State, in ten days from now, beginning at Danville and ending at Indianapolis. Since last report the club played their fifth and deciding game with the Indianapolis Quicksteps, and were beaten 12 to 6. On Tuesday they played the Awkwards at home, beating them 17 to 2. This afternoon their appointment is with the Andersons, of Brazil, at the park.

NEW wheat is now rushing into the market plentifully. It began to come in driblets early in the week, but the first large reoeipts were on Wednesday, when ten car loads came up from below, for different parties. It hap been rated at 11.25, but is declining, ifi some psrts, the midge had eaten out toe heads of a good deal of the grain, but in this vicinity has done little or no damage. The new crop is now mostly shocked, and the threshers are actively at work.

A STEAM BUQQY.

The excitement on Ninth street this week hss been the new steam road wagon of Byrd A Lockwood, of Sullivan, which was oompleted and made IV* trial trip on Thursday. The aflfclr is complete and well made, consisting of a cab about fourteen feet ldng by six wide, and six or seven feet high, built of poplar on a strong oak frame. It Is mounted on three wheels. Two are ever six feet In dismeter, almost aa strong aa those of a etone-wagon, snd mounted on a steel axle. The third Is In front, supported on a pivot, and used as a steering wheel. The boiler Is a common upright boiler, bolted halfway between the ends of the cab,on one side. Behind Itls the engine, which is not a cylinder, on the usual pattern, but the rotary engine made on the .water wheel ttyle, after the new patent of Robert Stolts. It is connected directly with the horisontal shaft, without ptafeon rod or fly wheel. Thence the power la transmitted by large oog wheels on the main axle to the driving wheels. The boiler and engine together weigh 3,000 pounda, and the whole thing weighs nearly 6,800 pounds, making It about double the weight of a common wagon loaded. This include* the toak, which Is a wooden box attached to the tear. The machine moved out of Ita position and mate two or three dreults on Ninth street, very nicely, but on making a turn the steering wheel became crossed under the cab, so that the easting In which it waa hung broke abort off. Another will be made. The design is to ran the thing to Sullivan, and Mr. Stotts, the buQder, thinks heoan pass over any hill when a common wsgon would go, provided It be not muddy. Mr. Lockwood hss spent a good deal of money In this direction, and at last it seems he is at least partially suoeeosful. However, he does not intend this to be a permanent arrangement, as the machinery Is to he taken out of the cab to be used In a Shop, after tt gets Sullivan. There neems to be some mystery about It, and we should not be surprised to know that there Is big bet st the bottom of the affair.

THE extension of the northern excursion to Quebec makes the distance open for travel, almost exactly the same as the distance from here to Boston.

SUNDAY, the 22nd, is the date for the excursion to Evansvllle, with the fare at |2.50. The steamer Gray Eagle runs to Henderson in connection with the excursion, at 50 cents extra.

THE preachers want to get out of doors these warm Sunday evenings. Rev. Henderson will preach at Court Park tomorrow evening, and Rev. Pavey will hold his services, one hour earlier than usual, on the steps iu front of Asbury chapel.

WAR'S wrinkled front has been smoothed snd the post offie will remsin where it is. The contest lay between Mr. Beaoh and Mr. McKeen. The latter drew off—else there would have been one of the most lively fights ever witnessed in this community.

NEXT Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are the dates for the grand northern excursion of Tennant A Royse. The fore is |12 50 to Toronto and $20 to Montreal. From the latter point excursionists can go to Quebec, 175 miles further, for |3, by t|)e finest boats on the St. Lawrence.
