TERRE

LEOPOLD GOODMAN.

How rapidly they are going. It Is startling. One by one the old citizens are laying down to their last sleep. One by one the familiar faces are disappearing from our streets. This week to the record is added that of Leopold Good man, sr, Enjoying his usual health, he attended with his wife a meeting of the ladies'degree in Masonry on Tuesday evening. At three o'clock the next morning Mrs. Goodman was awakened by his difficult breathing, and endeavored to awaken him. The effort was unavailing, and in a few minutes he was dead. He had been subject to heart dis oase, and often suffered from what is termed sinking spells. Otherwise he was of robust constitution. Mr. Goodman was born in Rheinpfalz, a village in Germany, in the year 1825, and came directly to Indiana when quite a young man. He clerked for a short time at Covington, and then came to Terre fraute where he opened aolotblng store, and ooonpied the same room on Main street for twenty-three years. He possessed business and social qualifications that drew around him a most extensive patronrge, and he amassed a fortune. He retired from business nine years ago. In the spring of 1873 he and his wife went to Europe, where they remained for over a year, since whioh time they have been almost constantly in this city. No man in this oommunity bore abetter reputation for all good qualities than did the deceased. He has been identified with the best interests of the city for years, and was universally respected. At the time of his death he was a member of Lodge No. 19, F. A. M., and Fort Harrison Lodge, I. O. O. F., being a Past Grand in the latter. The body was taken to Evansvllle yesterday for interment.

J. W. RILEY.

The Indiana poet and humorist, J. W. Riley, will visit this city again on the evening of May 10th, and give another of his splendid entertainments. His programme will be entirely new on this occasion, and present some very strong features. Those who have already seen Mr. Riley will need no urging to attend his coming entertainment, but to those who have not yet availed themselves of an opportunity to see the Hoosier poet, and hear his beautiful dialoptical recitations, we would say, that if they wish to spend a pleasant evening, with profitable returns, they should by all means be present at bis next entertainment. He surpasses himself on each succeeding occasion, and this time will fairly electrify his audience with his original and incomparable wit, humor and pathos.

THE military and civic entertainment to be given by the Hager Veterans, at the Opera House, next Wednesday evening, will be novel and interesting, aud the old soldiers deserve arousing house. The prloes of admission are such as to secure the attendance ol everybody. The programme is given in another oolumn. The leoture of Gen. Dan. Maoauley, descriptive of a night march in the Shenandoah Valley, Is alone worth the price of admission. Then there will be reading by Mrs. Talbot, of Indianapolis, a recitation by Mr. Colgan, of the same city, "Sheridan's Ride" will be recited by Prof. Carbart, of this city, music by the Cadet Band, singing by the Davis Family, and a prize drill of our home military will be exciting and interesting.

THE Republicans at the Ward meetings Saturday evening nominated for ootincilmen:

First ward—Samuel McKeen. Second ward—George E. Farrington. Third ward—Edwin Ellis. Fourth ward—Joseph H. Brlggs. Fifth ward—James B. Harris. Sixth ward—James MoCutcheon. The Democrats of the First ward on Monday evening nominated John G. Williams. Their tloket in full oonsists of:

First ward—John G. Williams. Second ward—Dr. W. H. Roberts. Third ward—W. P. Bartlett. Fourth ward—Robert Fllnn. Fifth ward—James Grace. Sixth ward—Adolph Reinbardt.

THE leoture of Joseph Cook, at Dowling Hall, Tuesday evening, attracted an audience completely filling the lower floor and the gallery. Say what you please about the objectionable features of this man—as remarkable as ho is peculiar—such demonstrations that Death does not end all, are calculated to do great good—strengthening the hope of a future exlstenoe, and dislodging much of the soeptiolsm and infidelity whioh in these days finds all too easily a lodgment in the human mind.

THE household of Charles L. Braman is in mourning this morning over the sudden death from congestion of their accomplished and interesting daughter, Maggie. She awoke Thursday morning complaining of earache, and notwithstanding the best medical skill, death came at tour o'clock this morning. Mr. Braman is also seriously ill.

THE boarding-house ol David Huston, ?n North Fourteenth street, was entered Thursday night, and the larder cleared of everything, even to the breakfast beefsteak. Several tramps were arrested yesterday, on suspicion that they were the midnight visitors.

Oou R* G. IKQKRSOX. will return to this city on the evening of the 8th (next Saturday evening), and deliver his lecture entitled: What Shall We Do to be Saved?" It is understood that a portion of the evening will be demoted to a reply to Joseph Cook*

—Hear GenT. Dan MaCauley, as be tella of a "Night March In the Shanandoah Valley," at the Opera House, Wednesday evening, May 5th.

THE PASSING SHOW.

SHOWS AND SHOW PEOPLE.

We can, without hesitation, commend ss first class the exhibition of the Sells Brothers given in this city this afternoon and evening. It is conducted in a way that is a new departure in tent shows. Its patrons are treated as though they were in the Opera Honse, no peddling of any kind is allowed under the canvasses, and swindlers and montebanka have there no harbor. Among the prominent features of the exhibition are the large herd of elephants the acquarium of sea lions, etc., a pair of living hippopotami a drove of six performing Colorado cattle while the excellence of the circus department is attested by the fact that the great rider James Robinson is at the head. It is a nioe clean ahow, deserving the patronage of all classes of people.

Haverly's Juveniles played Pinafore to the delight of a fair sized audience at the 6pera House Thursdsy evening.

Sprague's Georgia Minstrels oome again next Thursday evening and at the Opera House there will assemble the lovers of genuine negro minstrelsy. This band of sable brothers Is so well known here that the mere announcement of their ooming is sufficient. Their entertainment is olean neat and amusing their resonsnt voices and splendid Instrumentation have peculiar fascination while it is a show of itself to witness the intense interest snd abandonment to wild fun that marks everything said and done. None but a genuine negro can be a negro to the life. For an evening of real fun go to the Opera House Thursday evening.

Says the St. Louis Spirit: Barnum's "own and only greatest show" has started out again. The truth is, P. T. Barnum has not owned a dollar in any circus for several years. He simply sells the use Of his name for a season (for from f20,000 to f40,000) and guarantees to make so many appearances in the ring himself. When the show bearing his name reaches a large oity, he is telegraphed for. He responds, appears in the ring, gets a notice from the newspapers and immediately leaves for home again. This is repeated in perhaps half a dozen cities, and the rest of the country sees no Barnum during the year In this case, at least, it would seem that there is a good deal in a name.

The New York Graphic says the modern play now is: No plot. Or but the Btub end of a plot. Song and air from "Fatinltza." More airs from "Pinafore." Parody on "Pirates of Penzance," more or less. Songs and airs from everything. Two good female dancers. One sacred melody to give tone. One male dancer. One male acrobat with India rAfeber legs, and arms. Ladies all pretty ancl robust. One slang phrase to every forty-five words. Short skirts, well turned ankles and fancy hosiery. Tons of highly colored plotures and posters. Printed opinions of the "play" from United States ex-Senators and ex-United States Ministers from Cape Town or the Short Cake South Pacific Islands. Good for ten thousand nights and 910,000 per month profit.

MARRIAGE LICENSES. The following marriage licenses have been issued since our last report:

Michael Riley and Catherine Fetherstein. Chauncey R. Young and Jennie Copeland.

Wm. Calhoun and Rachel C. Hoffman. Leonard F. Daniel ana Belle Lovell. James B. Gill and Jane Fuller. Henry D. Davis and Anne Browe. J. Edward Cassadyand Amelia L. Snyder Win. J. Wyetli and Marcellus Hulls.

MRS. ARABELLA WARRKN died at the residence of her mother, Mrs. John Danaldson, Thursday morning. Constant watching during the long illness of her father, who died some two months ago, broke down what was at best a wrecked constitution, and a quick consumption caused death to quickly enfold in its embrace one who had many lovable qualities, endearing her to a large clrole of friends. As an active member of the Congregational church she was highly esteemed tor her christian conduct.

SANDFORD W. KETES, after an unsuccessful struggle with consumption died Thursday morning, in the twenty-fifth year of his age, leaving a wife and one ohild, the former a sister of J. Q. Button. The foneral services were held at ten o'olock this morning at the residence of his ffcther, Horatio Keyes, on north Thirteenth street. It is sad to have thus pass away such an excellent young man in the dawn of life, before whom there was so much .of usefulnes and happiness. ir. 4,

THE dry goods aud carpet dealers have agreed to close their stores at half past six o'clock each evening except Saturdaya. After Sept., lat tbey will close at six o'clock. This is a praiseworthy movement—giving, as it does, the clerks opportunity for mental improvement and social pleasures, snd the proprietors a chance to get acquainted with their wives and children.

rwo thousand bushels of corn are daily ground up at Newhart A Grelner's mill on First street, and their shipments are to all parts of the country, with an occasional lot sent across the Atlantic.

A dispatch, received yesterday afternoon by relatives, announces the death of Mrs. Eva. wile of Captain Jonathan Young, United States Sm, at Portsmonth, New Hampshire. The intelligence of the death of this lovely lady will be read with peculiar sadness by her many friends here, from whom she so recently parted. In cooseqoence of this sodden death, the birthday party of Mtn Eleanor, daughter of Dr. Yonng, which was to hsve oocurnd on Monday evening, Hay 3d, will be postponed.

A CommendableEnterprise-

Erection ef an Electric Clock,

By H.F SCHMIDT dc Co.

There has been put in position to-day, by H. F. Schmidt A Co., in front of their jewelry store, opposite the Opera House, one of the newly invented Electrio docks. It stands at the outer edge of the sidewalk, eighteen feet high, upon an imitation stone pedestal and ornamented iron oolumn, making altogether a handsome ornament. The clock works are not In the large case out doors, as is generally supposed. These are in an ordinary dock in the rear of the store, where is slso located an electric battery, the ssme ss used for telegraphio parposes, and wires running through the oellar and np through the pavement and the iron column, move the hands.

The dial will be illuminated at night, and correct railroad time will be kept. It is not only a prominent sign for these enterprising watchmakers and jewelers, hut a great convenience for all passing that prominent portion of the oity.
