Oca city was given another metropolitan feature yesterday when tbe street car company put on tbe Main street line one of its new open cars, with seating capacity for forty persons.

UiKSKRAL CRUFT MONUMENT. Mr. Frank Pratt has been awarded tbe jevwtract by Meesrs Edward and J. W. [(. ruft for erecting a handsome oionuuent over the grave of their brother,

Jm late General Charles Crull. The monument is of the gothlc design, wry massive, and ot American Granite. It i» au artistic piece ot work, and reflects rfdit on all parties concerned In the selection. It Is entirely different from *ny design now in our cemetery, and when finished, will be one of the fines* in the cemetery. This is to be completed and placed In position during tbe coming fall.

NOTICE.

Mr. UGORGE A. ARTHUR, the popalar Piano Tuner from D. H. Bald* in A Go's, will be in the city the fix* of out week, and all order* for Toning and Repairing left at J. A. Marshall's, 8» Main street, will receive prompt and careful attention.

OAK BLUFF CEMETERY. The incorporators of tbe Oak Huff Cemetery Aseociation held a meeting. last Monday morning. The old board I of managers, consisting of R. W.! ~T. Thompson, S. 8. Early, W. R. McKeen,

Wm. MtA, R. S. Cox, John 8. Beach, and John O. Williams, was re-elected. Tbe committee on grounds reported in favor of tbe tract of 180 acres on the north aide of the Bloomington road at the Sand Hill bluff, and the purchase of tbe waa authorised if it could be had for 925,000. Tbe land belongs to Henry 8. Deming, and we understand that, having no desire to sell, he holds it at a higher figure. Tbe amount offered, however, is a good price, and it Is to be hoped that tbe purchase an be eflferted Immediately.

This site has long been conmdered^md ia generally conceded to be designed by nature and its location tbe most eligible site for a cemetery, such ss is contemplated. A practical system of landscape gardening will be observed in laying out tbe grounds, and will be modeled in oonformity with simplicity which will afford to the lover of natere a study In theee sacred precincts, more delightful and satisfactory than all others. Its

area,as

doctors say the city Is remarka

bly healthy for this season of the year. The ailments are principally dysentery, congestion of the bowels, dlarhoea, with some typo-maliarial fever.

stated, is 160 acres of undulating

surface, mostly of a sandy subsoil, and abundantly supplied with water and forest scenery. Tbe bold Muff on the southern extremity and the grand old oaks doubtless suggested tbe name of Oak Bluff Cemetery. Tbe principal entrance can be made from the Bloomington road on the south, or at the terminus of Ohio street when tbst street shall be extended out to tbe grounds. It is contemplated to have entrance buildings containing a large waiting room visitors, besides other apartments for tbe use of tbe managers and superintendent. Also a commodious vault or receiving tomb in tbe center of tbe grounds, for the deposit of bodies in coffins previous to interment. Aichitecture, sculpture and landscape gardening will be combined to render the oemetery an appropriate depository of tbe dead, that wdll continue to be an ob* Ject of admiration and interest as long as virtue and igenius shsll be regarded in Terre Haute.

It Is Intended in the proposed plan to blend the elegance of a park with the pensive beauty of a burial place, conforming a grace and dignity which can never be attained where every foot of ground ia occupied with ornamental puerllitiea. Enclosures around burial lots detrsct from tbe sac redness of tbe soene, by supposing it possible that such a place would be visited by persons incapable of conducting themselvee properly, or that the grounds were pastured by cattle. They furthermore cause considerable inconvenlenoe when interments are made, as well as in tbe erection of monuments, and cost the corporation more labor than most persons are aware of. "A garden cemetery and monumental decoration," ssye an eloquent author, "afford tbe most convincing proof of a nation's progress in civilisation, and in tbe arts which are its results." "It is always pleasing,' says another author, "to find a plain monument, perfeetly clean and neat, In a secluded spot, with no flaunting ornaments to attract the eye of the careless lounger, but environed only by the verdant turf which nature herself cherishes." Fancy-shrubberies and flower borders will particularly demand limitation, ss they afford a poor compensation for the natural advantages of beautiful green grass plats, that can always be kept in order with little expense.

The grounds Improved on the new plan will forui a striking contrast to the cemeteries conducted in the old way by municipalities, when bead and foot stones, hedges, fences, and toys of all descriptions, are huddled together In such profusion ss to prevent the workmen from keeping those plans in tbe name good order as the first named. Landscapesoenery for rural burial places, la alone able to awaken in us those noble and moral pleasures, requisite to produce a serene and happy disposition, thus dispelling that gloom and dismay naturally felt by persons in visiting a burial place. Pictou very suitably remarks, "Our burial places should bear a solemn and soothing character, equally remote from fanatical gloom and conceited affection."

With theee objects in view, the promoters of the enterprise are endeavoring to supply not only a pressing necessity, without placing an additional burden upon the city, but to provide a place for burial of tbe dead, that will be self sustaining for all time to oome, and one that will be a matter of Just pride to our whole community. The incorporators •re well known representatives of fam-' IHes who have been identified with tbe rise and rapid growth of this city, and while they have no greater interest in the matter than pertain* to every other dtiten, have volunteered to contribute their time and such financial aid as may be necessary to accomplish their noble purpose. Tbe tract that they jftopoee to establish will be handed down from generation to generation, and tbe memorial of those who %ave thus contributed to its success, will be read in future ages, upon the tablets erected to their memory within the enclosure they now seek to perpetuate. M*y they all live to see the perfection of their plans, and enjoy yet in life the ich blessing they an striving to aecun for fntnre posterity.

Capt. Ed Friend seems to have better success in prize drills out west than he had as commander of the McKeen Cadets. His oouipany, tbe San Miguel Rifles, of Las Vegas, New Mexico, took the first prize in drill at the Tertio-Milenial cele bration at Santa Fe, on the Fourth.

Miss Estelle Husted baa some beautiful Kindergarten work on exhibition at the residence of her sister, Mrs. T. W. Harper.

She returns to St. Louis to pursue her studies the first of September.

Miss Alma Pattison, daughter of A. F. Pattison, of Indianapolis, and Charles B. Parmalee, of the same city, ran away from their homes last Saturday, and were married at Waukesha.

We hope they may be happy, bnt the chances are that when they are older they will wish they had waited a few years.

F. M. Sigler and wife, of Knights villa, paid our city a visit this week, and made a purchase of some very nice furniture of E. D. Harvey, bnying one of his finest parlor sets—one of the most artistic suites he has ever sold. Mr. Harvey was much surprised to sell such nice goods to so small a town, when it Is rather better than be can sell in oar own city bat they had been to other mar. keta, and found his stock the meet complete and his prices lower. Oar own damns should take the hint and try him for nice goods aft bargaina.
