Tho funeral occurred Tuesday.
Miss Kmilv Allen did not have such an attendance as she deserved at her farewell benettt at the Baptist church Thursday evening. Other attractions and the severely classical character of tho programme combined to bring this alwut, and It Is to be regretted that the church was not filled as a compliment to one who haa been so uniformly kind and accommodating on all occasions. The performance# of Miss Allen, Miss Alden and Mrs. Levering, of Indianapolis, made a very enjoyable entertainment.
On Thursday last, at Lowellvllle, Ohio, William M. Edmunds, formerly of this city, but now holding a responsible position the Government printing office at Washington, and Mrs, Delia Frltch mann, of Newcastle, Pa., were united in marriage.

The Thornton will case, which attract•od considerable attontion at the time of *trlfll, is to be appealed to the Supreme court. The will was set aside in tho lower court, and the estate of about pi,X)0, originally devised for benevolout purposes, was ordered divided among tho heirs, parties to the suit.

Wall street will lay aside its appearance of lethargy on Monday, when the Circuit and Superior courts begin thoir Septcinlter terms. Quite a number of important criminal cases are to come up beforo Judge Mack, among them the trial of Con Callahan, for killing Harmon.

Detective Clin*. FIbIU doesn't think much of the Intornal arrangements at the county jail since last Sunday night. Ho went there to talk with Charley Roborts, and was locked up in the latter's coll. When ready to leave ho was unablo to make anybody bear, and was com polled to spend the night behind the bars. The laugh Is on him, and he Isn't quite sure yet whether his imprisonment was the result of a practical joke or merely an accident.
The public schools will reopen one week from Monday, the 12th inst., and the indications point to an unusually large* attendance. The system of half yearly promotions will be introduced in the lower grades this year, and will be gradually worked into the High school. The Polytechnic opens on the 14th. The other schools will open next week, the Normal on the 6th, Commercial college on the 5th, and Coates college tho 9th.
It is stated as a fact that more gas is actually consumed here in Terre Haute since the electricity was adopted for street lighting purposes than before that time. This is owing to the decrease in the price of gas, and the consequent increase in the number of private consumers, not only for lighting purposes but for. use in stoves and for motive power.
Frank Harmon, the murderer of Wesley Carpenter, who was sent to the insane asylum, is said to have recovered full possession of his senses, and has gained in strength and weight. He was crazy long enough to prevent him from being tried for murder, which is no doubt very satisfactory to him.
A great many parents would like to understand more fully the new system of semi-yearly promotions in the public schools which is announced to be Introduced with the opening of the school year next week. If it means that children are to be expected to finish one room in half a school year, or five months, and be ready for promotion to a higher grade, then the new system is not likely to meet with enthusiastic favor. It is by some believed that the little folks are pushed too muchalready, and that if there be any change made in tho work it should be in the way of simplifying it instead of making it more difficult. Perhaps, however, the change mentioned does not mean what one would infer from it, but in any case an explanation of the change would be welcome to those who have children to send to school.
AMUSEMENT.
The MacCollin opera company has been playing all tho week at Naylor's to delighted audiences. The size of the audiences has steadily Increased with each performance and that of last night was by far the largest of the season, the lower floor being entirely occupied and the upper floors well tilled. It is the strongest oompany that has ever made a week's stand In this city. The costuming is very fine and the oporas have been put on in good style, the dramatic work being excellent. This afternoon the Mikado will be given aud to-night, by special requost, the Merry War. The costumes for Merry War are new and the performance promises to be the finest of the week. Naylor's opera house will be filled full. Should the company return later in the season, when the town has quited down from the excitement of circus and fair It will score an Immense success.

THE RED RIBBON.
Charles Kppert's magnificent display of picturos was awarded the Rod Ribbon at the Fair this week, and It was a proper award. His collection shows won dorful progress in recent years in the art of photography. His portraits are remarkably fine, including the quickly recognised faces of Col. R, W Thompson, W. O. Pat ton, Dr. Thompson, A. B. Barton, Mrs. Hopewell, Miss Mol lie Craw ford and others. Then there was a pretty lot of children's faces, and upon a Urge frame, 6 by 7 feet, a collection of cabinet and panel pictures well worth anybody's time to go out to look at. He also showed some very fine views of our public buildings and residences, exterior and interior. The view of the orphan home is a superb picture. Altogether the collection was one which attracted much attontion.
Mr. T. J. Griffith, of No. 32 soum Fourth street, began business on a small scale In 1873. He has constantly increased his stock and store. Also onjoyed a constant growth and patronage. He now stands second In the state as a retail dealer. His success is attribuiea to good goods. Boots and shoes are articles of apparel that must be strong as well as trim and neat. They are tramped upon without mercy by the owner, hence if not solid the owner Is displeased, and either returns for a rebate or ceases to call entirely. In both eMM the merchant loses. Mr. Griffith's point Is to sell good stock. The people demand it and will buy profitable goods. His salesmen, Messrs. Charles L. Brown, Burt Merrlng, Charles Young, James McGrew and William Ueding, are courteous and ever ready to accommodate. M«n. Brown and Merrlng have been with Mr. Griffith near ten years, honoe his sue** a. The people know they are qualified to recommend or condemn. Call upon them and have confidence.

I went out to the fare this week, and was surprised at its suckseas. It eckseeded expectations. The display in the vegetable hall was good, considering the season, but still it was nothing to the big display constantly seen at E. R. Wright's famouR grocery. One thing I am convinced of: The "White Frunt' can beat any county fare any day. But while I was looking at thecolleckshun
a man cum up and says: "Yon are the lady w'at talks for the big White Frunt grocery, haint ye?" An* I sez, sez I, "I'm the identikai party. An then this man he sez to me, seat he, "Well, fer a long time I thought you waz a gassin'. It didn't seem to me," sez he, "that the advantages o* buyin' groceries there could be so great ez yon made out, but my wife wanted to go thar an* try 'em, an'finally I tole her'to go. An'I'm convinced now 'at ef she'd a done it a year sooner we'd a been at least a hundred dollars ahead. An' I want to say now 'at I'm truly obleedged to yon an' want to shake yer lily white hand in token uv my gratitood." An' we shuck. Drop in there this afternoon. They have everything that is good to eat, includin' Dressed Young Turkeys, Michigan Lake Peaches, Extra Fancy Michigan Apples, Damson Plums, Cantaloupes, Grapes, Watermelons on ice, New Corn, Cauliflower, Cucumbers, Oranges, Lemons, Bananas, New Tomatoes, Egg Plant Cabbage, Chickens, Ducks, Fresh Saratoga Chips, Creamery Butter, Choice Country and Jersey Butter, Rice Flour, Maple Syrup, Choice Honey and the celebrated White Label Wines
