JDO YOU WANT A TRUNKP

AFTKB a hopeless struggle of several months, the wife of Merrill N. Smith yielded her life at the home of her parents, at Hamilton, Ohio, yesterday morning at one o'clock. All that money, the comforts of home, change of climate, the most skillful physicians, attention of a devoted husband, doting parents, and loving friends could do, was done to prolong the lite of this most estimable woman, but those nearest her were aware long since tbat tbe end must soon come. And yet knowing this it is sad to say that Mrs. Ma tie Smith is deadshe whom sll who knew her had so learned to love.

SICK and discouraged, tired of a sor rowful life, Jsmes Van Eaton, jr. sent a pistol ball crashing through bis head on Wednesday morning with deadly effect. He was forty years of age and for many years tbe trusted book keeper at McKeen's mill. His first trouble came a few years ago, when with other well known citizens he began speculating in Chicago margins—at first successfully, but in the end losing his all, including a pretty home. Then his wife died, his health failed, a contraction of the spinal chord crippled him, but of such vslue was he to his employers that for awhile they seat a carriage for him in the morning and returned him in the evening. Finally bis sufferings compelled him to give np his position, and tbe end is 88 above stated. He bad |6,000 life insurance, which is left to his two children, a boy of seventeen and a girl of seven years.

AM. honor to Col. Hill, superintendent of the Yandadia, for tbe stand he takes in regard to Sunday trains. He has refused to yield to a strong pressure to run Sunday excursion trains to Lake Maxinkukkee. He has positively determined to run no excursion trains on Sunday on sny part of tbe Vsndalia, and he says could he control the rail traffic of this country there would be much less Sunday work than now. He thinks tbe employes in all departments should make it a day of rest: but as long as competitors mn through passenger snd freight trains, tbe Yandalials obliged to do tbe same. Shippers are blamed for much of the Sunday work. If a merchant can get the goods he has ordered in four dsys over a road that runs freight trains on Sunday, while a competing road, because it gives its employes a Sunday rest, requires five days to transport the shipment, he will patronize the four-day route.

THB services on Monday afternoon were a beautiful and fitting tribute to Mrs. Mattie Blsnohard, the young wife of Ben Blsnchard, tbe news of whose death lsst Saturdsy morning, reached The Mail too late for mention. Consumption had claimed her for a victim, and it was hoped the trip to the northweet with the pleasant party would benefit her. But at Detroit, Minnesota, she had to stop, and the body, in the eold embrace of death, was brought back on Monday morning by tbe sorrow stricken husband. Tbe eloquent Mrs. Willing came down from Chicago to give her tribute to the memory of this Christian woman ahe had learned so to love while conducting the meetings at Asbury last w^ter. Her tears could not be restrained aa she spoke in affectionate remembrance of the dead. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Beck, the pastor of the Asbury, who gave an interesting sketch of her life and character. Rev. Mr. Holllngsworth, of Newport, her old home, added his testimony to her worth and a quartette from tbe Davis fsmily sang with touching sweetness.

Four short years ago Mr. and Mrs. Blanchard were united in marriage at Newport, then their home, and their wedded life began under the brightest and most hopeful auspices. But the shadow of death was over it all, and so early and remorselessly the shadow deepened, until hope and life were both extinguished. In this time of supreme sorrow the husband baa the smpathy of the community in which he haa come to make a home.

A BUSINESS CHANGE.

The Buckeye Cash Store in Other Hands.

Mr. C, F. Putman Purchases an Interest and will be in Charge,

The Buckeye Cash store has recently changed ownership, Mr. C. F. Putman, a gentleman of extended experience in the business, having bought an interest in the business. Mr. Putman will be In charge and his experience and popularity will not fail to greatly enhance the prosperity of this popular house. Speaking of the change the Gazette says:

Tbe Buckeye Cssh store has a most highly honorable history. Founded by Lucius Ryce many years ago on west Main street it was for some years a tower of commercial strength and popular resort for dry goods buyers. Under proprietorship of the late Wm. S. Ryce the store was removed to its present location and in extent of stock and elegance Of fixtures it was not a second to any similar establishment in the State. It was far in advance of the then needs of Terre Hsute and was not, on that account, profitable to its ambitious and enterprising owner. Through bis death and subsequent years of great depression tbe house lost some of its prestige.

Terre Haute is fortunate in dry goods ores, having some most creditable establishments, and a front rank among these once lost is hard to regajjti. but since Havens A Geddes bought the store they have struggled steadily to make their bouse second to none. Mr. C. F. Putnam, a trained dry goods merchant of universal popularity, bavin# bought an interest, will give to the business nis constant attention. With almost unlimited capital, tbe very best and most populsr clerical talent that can be employed, and an active and aggressive management the Buckeye is destined to occupy as prominent a rank among the retail nouses of this city and of the state as does the great wholesale house of Havens A Geddes. It is proposed to carry a sufficiently large stock to meet tbe wants of all classes of buyers at prices tbat will attract and bold custom.

Mr. J. W. Hunley, one of the oldest and most favorably known dry goods men in the city, has taken charge of the linen department.

Wheat in Barns, Warehouses and Granaries insured against Fire and Lightning for long or short tfme.
