Col. Hudson will address the printers •on the 17th, on the life and character of Benjamin Franklin whose birthday they will celebrate with a ball at Dow ling /Hall.

The oil well will be sunk on Vandalia ground back of the Phoenix foundry, The derrick and machinery of the abandoned gas well will be used, the romoval of which has been commenced.

Mr. Anton Mayer has purchased the property at the northwest oorner of Ninth and Main streets, and contemplates building on the site in the spring. A rumor, which Mr. Mayer says was unwarranted, has it that he will put up an opera house.

The annual election of the Vandalia on Tuesday resulted in the selection of the old officers and directors, the only chao^e being that Mr. H. Hulman succeeds Mr. H. S. Ives as director. The "young Napoleon's"connection with the Vandalia is now completely severed.

Dr. Givens was declared "not guilty" of murder, in killing Web Stewart, by the jury on Saturday afternoon, after being out llfty minutes. On the first ballot there were two votes for guilty. An agreement was had on the second ballot. Public opinion agrees with the JUT-

The nail works will be kept in Terre Haute, it can be said with confidence. The city council was powerless to remit the taxes for five years, but Councilman Store and City Attorney D. N. Taylor circulated a potition among the business men, and it now looks as though the necessary amount will be raised.

The signal service department has for some tinio been endeavoring to devise somo moans by which electricity might be directly obtained from the atmosphere, and to this end President T. C. Mendenhall andSergt. A. L. McRea have been conducting a sorles of experiments at the local station. Their efforts have been unrewarded howover, and the work will soon bo abandoned in this city.

Most of our readeis will be surprised to learn that with the four hominy mills in this city tho combinod output is about 12,000 barrels per week when in full oporation. This city ranks fourth in the world in the manufacture of Hour, and if the hominy milling business continues to increase as it has in tho past fow years, it will rank even highor in the manufacture of hominy, grits, etc.

Tho Junior class civil onglneers at the Polytechnic have just completed a scries of maps and plans for tho centralization of all the railroads entering the city at a Union depot, which they locato at Tenth and Spruce streets. The work has been been very carefully and accurately done, and the plan for the centralization of tho tracks entering the city is said to bo the best that has yet been suggested. There was a time when the centralization of the tracks was seriously contemplated by the various railroad companies, but the idea has evidently been abandoned. The students engaged in the work only 'for the practical experience involved

Tht plan is one many would wish the railroad companies to adopt.

The formal transfer of the old Dowling homestead to the Ladles' Aid Society, to 'be used as a home for old ladies has been made by W. R. McKeen. But tho ladies (have hesitated about accepting the mag niflcent gift for the reason that they have no endowment fund or funds in any form with which to support such an institution. The society's Rose endowment fund cannot be used for the purpose, as it was Mr. Rose's intention that the fund should be for the general poor of the city. In addition the income is at present not sufficient. The ladies hope to secure an endowment fund of $50,000 however, by subscription among the citizens, and an appeal has been published. The expense of sustaining such an institution would be about $3,500 a year at ihe least, estimating that the home would accomodate fifty old ladies. The Ladiea* Aid Society has long wished for such an institution. This society has for many years been caring for a great many old ladles who could be looked Wter better in such a home* The number of old women now assisted Is about seventy-three, but it would not be desired to accomodate all of these at the home. The ladies are now on a tour of solicitation over the city, and it is hoped they will meet with good suocwsa in their very worthy effort.

Judge Coffee, of Brazil, has informed the attorneys in the Blaek-Finkbiner oommissionership case that he will be unable to hear the case. Another selection will be made.

Last Saturday morning Robert J. Smith and Miss Lizzie Jeffers surprised their friends and most of their relatives by quietly uniting in marriage at the parsonage of the Centenary church Mr. Smith is the well-known young attorney, son of Mr. E. M. Smith, and Miss Jeffers Is the accomplished daughter of Mr. U. R. Jeffers.

Had the weather continued favorable for about one week longer the contrac tors would have had the new Normal building enclosed. As it Is, the delay will be not considerable. The building is now well under way however, and. unless delay is experienced in receiving the expected appropriations from the State Legislature, the woric of finishing the interior will go on without needless waiting. ___________

The celebrated Tucker-Holmes case resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff, assessing damages of |100 against young Holmes and $100 against 'Squire Cooper, who married the conple. The question in the case was regarding the marriage of first cousins. In instructing the jury Judge Allen made use of the following paragraph: "By the law of this state a marriage consummated between first cousins is not absolutely void but only voidable and, until declared void by judicial decree, is as binding as a marriage between persons not related in any de gree. Therefore, if you believe from the evidence in this case that Ella Tucker and Morton Holmes were first cousins and contracted a marriage, they had the right to live together as husband and wife."

"There's a new .coon in town," sang Joe McCarran, a gambler, at the Turf saloon, when "Jasper" Edwards, the colored porter, whose marriage was so largely celebrated a year or so ago, informed the Turf folks that there was a new baby at his house. It stirred Jasper's bad blood, and being continued for several days, resulted last Monday in Jasper drawing a poker on McCarran. Then there was war, ending in the gam" bier shooting the porter in the neck, fortunately only a ftesh wound. McCarran shot with intent to kill. The first time the pistol missed fire, the second took effect, and ihe third, fired after the negro had fallen, missed the mark. McCarran was locked up but was released next day on bail under indictment for assault with intent to kill.

Francis Murphy and his sons have conducted a remarkable series of temperance meetings this week with gratifying results. At the first meeting Sunday night the opera house was filled with about 2,500 people and as many more were turned away unable to gain entrance. Notwithstanding the bad weather the three following evenings the people were turned away from tho Baptist church. Thursday and last nights the people filled to overflowing both the Baptist and Cougregational churches. The city ministers are lending a helping hand and are working with great unanimity. A large choir under the direction of R. L. Alder adds interest and spirit to the meetings.

Near two thousand persons have signed tho pledge and the good work seems only fairly begun. It is not to be expected that all these people will remain faithful to their promises. It is the history of all efiorts at moral reformation that thore will be back-sliders among those whose feet are once turned in the right direction. Human nature is weak at best, but is particularly so when underminod by a course of dissipation. Some of these Murphy converts wi,'l fall from grace sooner or later, no doubt, and belie their blue ribbon badges but no one will say that the movement is not of great, almost incalculable, benefit to the community. The good accomplished is not confined to the actual signers of the pledge. The meetings are creating an interest in the temperance cause that did not exist. The evils of drink have been pictured to the public in a way that has not been known for many years.

The elder Murphy's success is due very much to his powerful sympathies. In relating a pathetic incident, though it may be for the one hundredth time, the tears spring as quickly to his eye* and his voice trembles as though it were the first. Then his enjoyment of his own jests and odd tricks of speech is so genuine and contagious that the gloomiest individual within hearing is softened and pleased. The listener is forced to believe in the earnestness and sincerity of the speaker, and almost unconsciously enters into the spirit of the hour.

Edward Murphy Is a more finished orator, a clear and logical speaker more consecutive in thought than the father, and yet he is unmistakably a chip of the old block. He delights to tell of his work in Ireland where he Induced 125,000 people to sign the pledge.

The Murphys speak at both churches to-night. To-morrow from 3 to 4 there will be a meeting, for men only, at the opera house, and at night the oppra house will be opened at 6:30 for a monster mass meeting. If needed, overflow meetings will be held at the Baptist and Congregational churches.

A silver collection will be taken at the doors to-morrow evening. The Murphys receive only these collections for their services, the committee guaranteeing only their hotel bills. The collection thus far have not been large and it la hoped that to-morrow evening will make up a respectalbe average.

TERRE HAUTE

The city commissioners have been investigating the cost of opening np Ohio street through the E.

T. H. yards and

have been surprised to find the expense so great. No definite conclusions haife been arrived at, but a report will be submitted at the next council meeting Two plans have been suggested, the con struction of abridge over the tracks and the building of a street across them Either way is expensive and it may be that some of the tracks will be ordered removed. ___________

Messrs. Dan Fasig, A1 Schaal and James Fitzpatrick have gone to Peoria to attend a meeting of the new base ball league which is being formed. Terre Haute proposes that the league hire all the players, make as near as equal diS' tribution of them as regards strength and thus avoid several of the clubs stand ing far in the lead through the season and others far in the rear. With all of the teams about equal in strength interesting games will be insured and every club benefitted in a fiinancial point of view. If the'-e were only a few games di He ranee between all the clubs the league would be a "howling sue cess." It is proposed, in connection with the scheme, that if one club should get too far in the lead that its strength shall be reduced and given to a weaker club

AMUSEMENTS.

The Owen's Uncle Tom's Cabin Co. with the usual Brass Band and Orchestra attachment gave a performance of this time worn moral play at Naylor's last evening to a big house. Tho piece will be repeated again to-night. Admission 25, 35 and 50.

BIG PRODUCTION.

Expectation has been on tip toe for some time for a chance to witness a dra matic representation of H. Rider Haggard's famous and mystifying novel, "She" and we are glad to say that Man ager Nay lor has Jbooked the WebsterBrady company, presenting the original dramatic version, on Thursday evening next (the Baldwin company not appearing on that date.) When Lewis Morrison brought out "Faust" awhile ago, the accuracy and mechanical effects caused a great deal of favorable talk. The scenic effects were in fact the sensation of the play. A young man named Brady was responsible for the work. "She," the most generally read book of the century has been taken into hand and the theatre goers can see what he has evolved from Haggard's wild tale. Judging from his elaborate arrangement of "Faust," Mr. Brady will utilize every opportunity for scenic impression, introducing nearly all of the thrilling incidents of the play. We are told that his is a pure dramatic version, concisely crisp, rapid in movement, strong in its climaxes and most nteresting from first

%to

last. Every

sceue is complete from footlights to the wall and is all new and realistic and as nearly every person has read the book or has beceme familiar with it in some way it has naturally created a desire to see it placed on the stage. The sale opens next Tuesday morning at Button's, Notwithstanding the unusual expense attached to this big production the prices will remain as usual, 75, 50 and 25 cents.

Theatre goers will bear in mind that the Webster-Brady company appear on next Thursday evening instead of the Baldwin company, who have the house rented for every evening in the week except Thursday.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean says the version of "She" now being played by the Webster-Brady company is the most effective and consistent dramatization of Haggard's fantastic story that has ever been performed in that city.

Mr. T. J. Griffith doesn't make asser tlons regarding his business without meaning it and the public will therefore understand that it means something when he says that his boots and shoes will be sold lower this year than ever before. This result Mr. Griffith intends accomplishing by giving his customers the benefit of selling goods strictly for cash, the purchaser thus being exempt from the extra charges that, have to be made on the credit system.
