TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

THE ladles or 8t. Joeeph church held a firir three evenings of this week, at Armory Hall, with their usual success. Over one thousand dollars was realized. In the voting for "the most popular"—now tbe leading features of fahs —Capt. Ed. Friend was awarded the sash and sword belt, as tbe most popular militry offloer W. K. Burnett, the easy chair, as tbe most popular chief or ex-cblei of the fire department, Micheal Prindible, the silver watch, as the most popular scholar, and Miss Mamie Folts, a paia of gold bracelets, as the moat popular young lady. A city lot near St. Ann's chartih was raffled at one dollars chance. Timothy Dolan was tbe lucky one to get tbe deed for the same.

DOWN at Sullivan there has been a feud existing between William McCrary and Isaao P. Draper, because of improper intimacy between the former and Dra per's wife. In Jane last Draper returned home unexpectedly and found McCrary where he should not have been. Each attempted to shoot the other, and Mo Crary was slightly wounded. Since then be has threatened to kill Draper. On Tuesday be filled himself with whisky, and declared he would kill Draper before nigbt. At about eight o'clook, with hand on revolver, he peered Into Draper's saloon, looking for his victim, when be was probably never before so astonished in bis life at reoelving in bis head, from an upper window, two loads of buckshot from a double barreled gun His death was immediate, and Draper was arrested. Tbe sympathy of the people is with tbe latter.

DEATH OF JOHN B. LUDOWICI. An active life was olosed, and a good citizen passed away, in the death of John B. Ludowici, last Monday, shortly after twelve o'clook. As mentioned last week, he was stricken with paralysis •f the brain, on Sunday morning, the 12th inst. Mr. Ludowioi's face has been a familiar one on our streets for thirty years. He was born on June 17th, 1809, at Rbein on Ems in Westphalia, Prus sla. He embarked for this conntry April 7th, 1831, and looated in Terre Haute in 1860. He reached Philadelphia August 10th, 1831, where he engaged in the brass moulding business, and was married in that city to Miss Elizabeth Althans, July 27th, 1836. He afterward removed to Illinois, near SU Louis, where be remained until 1840, and then went to Cincinnati where he was a retail grocer until 1860 when, as above atated, he came to this city and has since been an active and energetio business man. His first enterprise here was in the wholesale and retail grocery line, and he btfilt up, with prudenoe and enegry, a oonsid erable fortune. In 1865-6 he built the National House. He served two terms in the City Council and one as Commissioner, and has during his long residence been prominently identified with the justness Interests of this oommanity

OUB BOOK TABLE.

A FAMOUS VICTORY—Jsnsen, McClurg fc Co, Chicago, Publishers: sold by E. L. Godecke, Terre Haute. Price »1,25.

This is a new political novel—a *'hlt" In fiction. The scene of "A Fool's Errand" lies chiefly in the South: that of "A Famous Victory" is laid wholly in the North. Both have been written by men who have bad personal experiences which they hare woven Into the web of their respeotlve romances. Of the author's style in "A Famous Victory" the Detroit Free Press says it is scarcely possibly to speak too highly. It is brilliant and captivating to a degree that would attract attention to tbe book if the story It tells were far less Interesting than it is.

THS STORY OF AUNT Loons AIKKN, by Mn. Qalusha Anderson. Chicago: Jansen, McClurg & Co. Tern Haute:

E. L. Godecke. Prioe fl,00 Aunt Lfaate Aiken was one of the most widely known, most useful, and best beloved of the noble band of women who devoted themselves to the task of nursing tbe soldiers of tbe Western armies in the dark days of the late war. j^niw tMt time ber life baa been fall of good deeds as City Missionary of the Second Baptist church in Ctticago. Tbe book is •secies of graphic pictures of early days in New England, of pioneer life in Illinois, and then oomes the story of missionary work in the army, and in Chicago among the poor and sinful. It is most charmingly written book, the author pouring into It the of ft heart warmly alive to all good^rork.

All the Republican escorts bx t&e «Itv arc requested to meet *t Republican headquarters to-night to attend the various speakings in the city. The ecooltf should come in uniform.

THE PASSING SHOW.

OUBold settlers are anxious for woth- oommenced so that he can appear with 6r re-union ibis foil, and it is to be hoped some one will shortly take tbe initatoxy steps towards oalling the gathering. There is nothing in which they take more plessnre than in recounting tbe changes that have taken place in the material world since they came on to the stage, of being. They can boast of being contemporary with the railroad, the telegraph, the steamship, the photograph, the sewing machine, tbe steam plow, the friction match, gaslight, nltro glycerine, chloroform, the monitor, the caloric engine, the California gold discoveries, the oil well discoveries, gutta peroha, canned fruits, the eleetrio light, the telephone, etc. They have also lived to see slavery abolished in this country, and the western wilderness covered with an intelligent, prosperous and happy people. Will the young men and women of to-day have as much to boast of when they arrive at a ripe old age There is no knowing what another half century ^may yet develop.

SHOWS AND SHOW PEOPLE.*

Joe Emmett, who was to have played here to-night his "Fritz in Ireland" will not appear, for tbe reason that he has this weekly been

Mplaying

h—" thai

which Bob Ingeraoll doesnt believe in. His friends sobered him up after his spree in New York, and last week in Baltimore he played an extraordinarily succeeBful engagement—hundreds being turned away nightly. He was constantly watched to keep liquors away from him, but at Pittsburg on Monday he was in a fearful state of intoxication. The The week's engagement bad to be abandoned and the work of reconstruction

his company at St. Louis next week Tbe sad spectacle presented by this gifted actor illustrates the effects of intemperance better than a thousand lectures on thatsubjeot. Theonoe handsome face the brilliant Intellect and the social qualities which he possessed, have all been destroyed by drink, and he is left an utter wreck in every sense of the word. Those who have admired him upon the stage will pity rather than ooudemn him in his downfall.

From now till the election there is only one engagement booked for the Opera House. And it is a good one. It is the Hoey A Hardie combination, who on Wednesday evening next will produce tbe latest New York success, Geo. Hoey's Romantic drama entitled: "A Child of State." The scene is laid at the Hague, in Hqjland, in tbe latter part of the seventeenth century, and the the title comes from an old Dutch law, that made female orphans, not otherwise provided for, "Children of the State and protected tnem from barm by requiring that any man compromising the honor of one of these girls should marry or suffer death. Upon this is wrought an interesting story. It will be produced here with new scenery and costumes, the original music and a strong cast of characters. Seats can be secured without extra charge at Button's on Monday.

Tbe horse used by Emma Lake in her menage act in Barnum's show was pre sented to her recently by Buffalo Bill. Miss Lake is the possessor, In her own right, of a oool hood red thousand dollars, a sum sufficient to warrant her in retiring from thesawduat ring, but her love^ for circus life keeps her in the arena.

The Indianapolis people will have a surfeit of amusements next week. English's elegant new Opera House will be formally opened by Lawrence Barrett, Will Eatons, "All the Rage" will be presented at the Park Theatre, and Heme's "Hearts of Oak" at the Opera House. In addition to these there are three variety theatres open nightly at the capital.

Politics interfere considerably with amusements, and tbia season until after the election will be a hard one for managers. The girls are all right, but the boys, you know, are engaged every evening in keeping the political ball rolling. These American freemen must attend their club meetings, carry torches, talk up their candidates, and go when duty calls them,

Some oi the actors who have long been Identified with single plays are now disposed to make new ventures. Joseph Jefferson, after making a fortune aa Rip Van Winkle, has taken up Bob Acres, In "The Rivals," Sotbern would have appeared this season in a new obaraoter if sickness had not pre* vented, discarding the long remunerative Dundreary and Frank Mayo, after drawing a great deal o( wealth for years from Davy Crockett, has made what seems to be an equal hit as Van, the Virginian, in a new play.

Boston Times: On the evening of Saturday. Sept., 4, the late Harry Josephs attended the performance of "Otto" at tbe Gaiety Theater, and occupied a seat on the right side of tbe bouse. On the Mondsy evening following, Mr. Knight, while reciting "The Water Mill," happened to glance over the house, and notioed that every sest on tbe right side of the house excepting that one in which Mr, Josephs sat on Saturday evening was occupied, and that one was vacant. The fact so startled Mr. Knight that it was nearly a minute before be could folly reoover his oomposure and com* plete his recitation.

The Columbus, Ohio, correspondent of the Dramatic News, In noticing the recent appearance of the Emma Abbott company in that city, remarks: "By the way, Mrs. Seguin has her new husband with hsr. He is quite a dapper little fellow, and is real handy. She makes a great pet of him, and never lets him get out of tor sight night or day. If poor Ed Seguin could bnt see their billing and cooing he would certainly kick tbe weather boarding off his coffin.'

One of (Tie Kill's tricks was when be had diminished his tone to a nearly Inaudible pianissimo, to continue tbe attitude, as if be was playing, but actually having drawn off)the bow entirely from the violin, holding it in the air, and producing no tone whatever while his 1° raptures at the softness of bis really inaudible sighs, made ear trumpets of their hands and bent forward, eager to catch tbe sound which did not exist. Then the violinist, aa if awakening from a trance, bowed to tbe enraptured aodienoe.

At ten minutes after four o'olock yesterday morning tbe extra passenger train on the Vandalla line going west, carrying the through passengers from the east, oame in collision with a freight train nine miles west ol the city, on the west end of the high trestle bridge over Clear Creek. Engineer James Watson and Conductor Lewis Hudson were in oharge of the freight train. They had a telegraphic order to "run two hours and 'fiitaen minutes on time of No. 2 extra." 'They read it "two hours and fifty minutes"—a fatal error. Both trains were running at high speed, the engines came together with terrific force and both went into tbe abyss twenty-five feet below, carrying with them two postal cars and ten or twelve flats and freight cars. Tbe remainder of the passenger train stopped on the trsck and not a passenger was Injured. On the passenger engine were engineer Austin D. Rankin and fireman Wm. P. Saunders. Both went down and were killed. Tbe tact that they heroically stayed at their posts in the effort to cheok the force of the collision, doubtless saved the lives of many passengers. Tbe engineer and firemen of the freight train jumped from Ulil glnn The fireman escaped unhurt but James Watson, the engineer had an arm broken and his head badly hurt. !.

The other injured are Lyman Booth, brakeman, leg broken, a cut In the bead and injured internally A. W. Dillehaut, chief poetal clerk, residing at Indianapolis, thigh broken near the trunk, and doubts are entertained of his reoovery. Wm. Lewis and Ernest Umbersall, of Colorado, belonging to the postal service, were riding in one ef the postal oars, and were Injured internally, to what extent is not known.

Tbe desd bodies of the engineer and firemen were brought to their homes in this city. Austin D. Rankin resided at 125 Spruce Street, and leaves a wife and three children. Wm. P. Saunders resided st 825 north Ninth street and leaves a wife but no obildren. Both were held in high esteem by tbeir fellow railroad men, and their sad deaths sre greatly deplored.

Preeldent MoKeen, Superintendent Peddle, Secretary Farrlngton and other official* road, with half a dozen physidaWv-Were promptly on tbe scene and did everything in their power in caring for the dead and relieving tbe wounded.

The wreck was cleared away in fltne for the afternoon passenger trslns to go by. The loss to the compsny in property will be from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars. S i&KM

Youxo MAS stop, and think of your fncure usefulness. If you expect a high position you may with money, or the influence of friends get it but without qualification yon cannot expect to honorably fill it, Then go and prepare yourself by taking a practical education and training at the old reliable Terre Hante Commercial College.
