The report of L. G. Hager's intention to resign the management of the Opera House at the end of this season, is whol ly incorrect. He has no thought of resigning, and on the contrary is becoming mere and more interested in the management.

THE indications are that the spring term of the Normal school will be the largest in the history of the school Already the question of more room in the big building is considered and it won't be long before the High school will be compelled to seek other quarters.
THE late M. W. Williams left no willbut made a written request that his esstate should be divided as follows: |25,000 and the family residence to his widow |5,000 to their adopted daughter, and the remainder to his only son, Charles. Tbe entire estate is valued at from f75,000 to 1100,000. BK
A LAFAYETTE paper affirms that a man in that place sold his first wife's tombstone to get tbe money to take his second wife on a bridal trip. There is a man of means in this city who did not buy any tombsome at ail for his first wife until he was married to tbe second. Then, compelled by public sentiment to get one, he bought a cheap slab and bad inscribed upon it simply her maiden name!
IT is very probable that the Main street railway will be immediately extended co the fair grounds. It hits been requested by the trotting association, and in response to the committee waiting upon him, Mr. Hulman, president of the company, said he was much in favor of extending the line and would use his influence to have it done. The matter will be brought up before the meeting of the stockholders, next Tuesday evening.
A WOMAN enlisted the sympathy of one of our worthy clergymen, with a pitiful story of a sick husband, destitute children, etc., and he promised her assistance. Upon second thought he concluded to visit her premises. He found no children, but the husband was in bed. He did not look sick and upon investigating he was found to have all his clothes even his shoes on. He had jumped into bed wheu he heard tbe knock at the door.
THE aay of "advertising cards" seems to be on the wane. For a while the country was flooded with them, pretty ones and ugly ones, comic, sentimental, poetical, pictured with flowers^, fruit, animals, people and scenery. They were thrown in the yard, stuck under the front door, thrust into your hand, done up in your bundles, sent through tbe mail. Some of them were very ingenious, real works of art, but the market surfeited. Now they seem and,wo.»**it with interseo wfranviil

DURING theonly sunny afternoon we had this week, the following scene was witnessed on the corner of Seventh and Main: Two misses, apparently school girls, camesaunteringalong, with banged hair and mouth full of chewing gum. Two well-dreased strangers stood in front of the hotel. Tbe girls smiled and tossed their heads and flirted their dresses and finally the larger of the two deliberately winked one eye. The fellows laughed, nodded and started up Seventh.' The girls went ou up Main and they all four met on the corner of Eighth and Cherry and went off together. Now which of the parties sjapuld bring
suit for seduction
THERE'S going to be a big boom in real estate in Terre Haute this year. An illustration of rapid increase in value is found right here on Printing House Sqnare. Eighteen months ago, thirty feet front on which The Mail building stauds, was beught for $60 a foot front. Six months after an adjoining lot sold for $65 a foot, end this week Detnas Deming bought two lots south of that, pitying |7o a foot. Mr. Deming also bought the adjoining lot on the corner of Ohio street for a fraction over $100 a foot. Little more than a year ago this corner lot was bought for less than $75 foot. Mr. Deming has made a good investment. He will immediately put up a fine business block on the three loUh. the upper portion of which will probably be used for the Board of Trade rooms, aip 11
THE case of the child which died with measles on Third street and was made tbe subject of a long communication in Sunday's Express, reflecting upon the Aid and Organized Charity societies, was somewhat misrepresented. The father, a girl aged nineteen and a boy seventeen were well and able to work. Tbe dead child lay in tbe room with the sick ones, but there were vacant rooms in the house where it might have been placed. Tbe family and three of tbe neighbors were sitting at the table eating when the secretary of these societies went in. He was informed by the father that the township trustee had made all necessary arrangements for the funeral but that he would like provisions enough for one day. He was given a two dollar order and no further application ever was made, it Is always well to consider that there are two rides to all such cases as this and people most not pass judgment until they have beard both.

AMUSEMENTS*
It is a very cold day when Terre Haute people fail to rally in force for a good minstrel entertainment. Haverly's Mas todons gave a performance on Tuesday evening that was immensely enjoyed by the very large audience filling every floor of the Opera House.
The Harrison-Gourlay company will repeat that "funny, very, very funny play,'Skipped by the Light of the Moon,, at the Opera House to-night. It claimed to have been remodelled since its first presentation here. If this, be true it may have abetter reception.
On Wednesday evening of next week, Lawrence Barrett will appear in his latest success, "Francesca da Rimini," tragedy in six acts, dramatized by Hon Geo. H. Boker, and founded on Dantes' celebrated story. It was not until his recent appearance in this play that Mr Barrett obtained a good footing with the theater-going people of New York With one voice tne press of that city sounded his praise, and conceded that he had accomplished a great work in the character of "Lanciotto, the Hunchback." This will be Mr. Barrett's farewell appearance in this city, previous to his departure for Europe. He sails, the middle of this month and opens at Henry Irving's Lyceum Theater, London, April I4tb. He follows Mary Anderson, and plays for two months, when the theater is to be given up to the owner Henry Irving, who follows Mr. Bairett, after his American tour, for his regular London season.
Manage/ Hager Is putting in such time as he can spare painting some new scenery for Lawrence Barrett next Wednesday evening. In the cathedral scene he intends to surpass that at. Indianapolis, where Mr. Barrett goes from here, and where^great preparations are being made.
Louis James is at the head of an excellent company supporting Lawrence Barrett.

HE FO ROOT I
Last Thursday just before noon, freight train going west on tbe I. & St, L., was bowling along at the rate of thirty miles an hour. At tbe same time tbe accommodation passenger train pulled out from Paris, tie conductor not aware that the freight train, behind time, w'as near. One mile this side of Paris, at a sharp curve, the two trains came in oollision, making about the worst wreck that ever occurred in this vicinity. Frank W. Lindsey, fireman of the freight train, who jumped just before thecolision, was buried under the wreck and killed. W. A. Swisher, engineer of tbe passenger, also jumped and bad a leg brokeu and had to suffer amputation. Engineer Kirebgrabber. of the freight jumped and escaped with bwoifttw i-itt, baggageman, was ofuisecT aBouT me face and neck. Lindsey, who was 22 years old and single, is from Springfield, Massachusetts. Swisher lives in Paris and Kirebgrabber at Mattoon. The passengers and others miraculously et caped serious injury.

Tbe fault lies with the conductor of the freight train Allen Laugbiin, residing at 823 north Fourth street, thi« city. He was engaged in writing a message He has no excuse except that he simply forgot that the other train was on the road. Ho was arrested yesterday morning and takeu to Paris, to answer what in that State may bo a serious charge. He has engaged T. W. Harper for bis defense.
W NEW QUARTERS.
R. Foster has completed the removal of his stock of Furniture to No. 320 Main street between Third and Fourth, where he will be pleased to see his friends and patrons. He occupies the entire building, three floors and basement and has it Piled full of every desciiption of furuiture from tbe finest to the lowest priced. The building, with its large skylights and windows fn front and rear, is admirably adapted for the exhibition of furniture, and Mr. Forster is fortunate in securing it. He has ample room, as well as light, now to show bis goods, and the visitor will be surprised to find that he has so large and extensive a stock, though, perhaps it is no greater than at his old quarters on Fourth street, where, for lack of room he could not show it to advantage. Drop in and see what be has on exhibition.
THE RINK.
The Bijou Rink is open to-day with a grand matinee this afternoon. At night Master Raphael will gjve exhibitions of fancy skating, aud there will be skating until ten, followed by dancing until twelve.
