TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT.

A mother-in-law Isnt such a bad thing to have now and then. A marriage took place this week in which the groom found it necessary to call upon his newly-made better-hairs mother for a little change. The pastor has just pronounced the couple man and wile, and one of the witnesses called his attention to the fact that he had neglected to kiss the bride. The groom stepped over to his mother-in-law, whispered in her ear and was handed something. He ep preached the minister, extended his hand, and when it met the preacher's half dollar was pressed into it. How the groom managed to procure the $2 with which to purchase the license was not ascertained.

The Hon. James T. Johnston intends sawing wood on his farm and saying nothing about an office. In reply to question whether or not he is a candi date for internal revenue collector. "Jim" said to the Rockville Republican "I am not, and have not been and could not afford to be. When I was in Wash ington some gentlemen asked me to withdraw my application for commissioner of pensions and put in one for the colleclcrship. I said to them that could not that there were four gentlemen in my district who were applicants for that position and that I could not afford to be a candidate. Tbat'sall there is in this matter. There Is no truth at all in the report."

Deputy Postmaster Fred Apman has tendered his resignation, which takes effect on Monday. His was one of the be^t appointments made by Postmaster Regan. He has made an excellent deputy and many friends since he has occupied the deputyship. He has pur chased an interest in A. Grafe & Co.'s Sixth street wholesale house, and will devote his attention at once to the busi ness. He was for 10 years with Hulman and has a wide experience as well as ac quaintance. He will look after the city trade besides traveling a part of the time. Frank Heney, of the money order department, will become deputy and Fred R. Goodrich has been appointed to the vacancy caused by Heney's ad vancement.

Father, son, another fellow, a lot of chickens, and a love affair figured in case in Circuit court this week. Jesse Biggs and Ira Smith were acquitted of petit larceny. Clinton Smith, son of Ira was the prosecuting witness. He plead guilty to having stolen chickens and was given a one year's sentence. Clint and Jesse were rivals and Biggs got the best of Smith. The young lady in the case attempted to persuade Biggs to whip Smith. The gallant lover shrank from the task of knocking out his rival with his fist. The rivalry between the two young men accounts for young Smith's attempt to convict Biggs of laf ceny, but the remarkable phase of the case was the attempted conviction of the elder Smith by his son. The boy shot at his father several years ago.

The daily press have been discussing the release of J. C. Evans, the alleged all-round criminal. The point at issue is whether or not there was sufficient evidence on which to convict. Judge Mack thought there was not and set the prisoner at liberty. Evans was in jail for two months. If he was guilty it seems that the officers of the law had plenty of time in which to work up a case against their man. Two months in jail for having a set of burglar's tools in ooe's possession and being suspected of bank robbery seems long enough unless there was conclusive eVidence of Evan's guilt. No doubt Evans was dangerous man to be turned loose, yet it must be remembered thatacriminal can not be convicted upon general principles.

John Joyce was indicted by the federal grand jury for knocking down a U. S. deputy marshal, James McKenna, on election day. The indictment was defective. Chairman George Faris, who appeared for Joyce, said "The case would have been an interesting one to try, because it would have brought into ques tion and for the decision of the United States court, the validity and regularity of the appointment of the special deputy marshals who served in this city. This is the only indictment that I have heard of in the trial of which that question could have been raised. It has been a question among lawyers ever since the election whether the alleged deputy marshals had any authority whatever to act for the United States, and I am con fident that if Joyces trial had come off, that the appointment of all the men who served in this city, at least, would have been shown to have been utterly invalid."

It requires Terre Haute talent to do things up in style. Lorenzo Hickman and Emma Hickman both of this county, were married in the following unique way, as told by a Kansas City special dispatch: "A good-looking young man this morning requested Conductor A. W. McDougal, of the Santa Fe westbound train, to keep that train waiting few minutes after the arrival of the Wabash, saying he would pay liberally for such a favor. A pretty brunette jumped out of the sleeping-car of the Wabash train, and in quicker time than it takes to tell it, she was in the young man's arms. Hurrying the young lady Into the rear Pullman coach of the Santa FV train followed by the porter with nerous bundles, the young man made a da«h for the waiting room, and soon reappe.-.r with Justice Holt. A space was -on cleared in the ladies' toiletr~^rn of tbeearg Justice Holt commandtwo to claim hinds, and repeating 111•• f•r:n 11 .i-roiicay pronounced them fore the last word 1*4 out of the jiHilen^lipt Um whistle I- ind the cwnta f^e train began to ii of the depot just three minis 5 the arrival of the Wabash."

The ladies of the Congregational church cleared $51.65 on the supper given Thursday, the proceeds to go to cleaning the inside walls of the church.

It Is said that when the new city council is elected there will be a lively scramble among the police officers. The council will be Democratic unless the Republicans make a clean sweep which is not probable. The police heads are eloeted according to the present ordinance, to serve for a year. An election will oon sequently devolve upon the new council among one of its first acts. There was big fight for places a year ago and it is expected that another scramble will take place this year.

George Hurst, employed at Kidder's mill was arrested on complaint of his wife who claimed that he had struck her. He was convicted, fined and sent to jail on Thursday. His first act was to attempt to brain himself by striking his head against the iron bars. Later he attempted'to hang himself by means of a handkerchief tiea to one of the bars but he was unsuccessful. Hurst, seems, is desperately in love with his wife who appears indifferent to him and recently left him for a time. He de clares he will suicide, because he cannot bear his grief, it is believed be is de mented to a greater or less extent. He has always been a sober and industrious fellow who has cared for his wife in ac cordance with his means. He is a young man, being under 30 years of age.

"The Two Sisters" was presented at Naylor's opera house last night and will be repeated to-night. The audience was not large but the play was deserving of a better house and the theatre will no doubt be crowded at to-night's perform ance. The piece is in itself a striking combination of incidents. The story is such that the audienoe readily falls into sympjathy with the two Bisters who go to New York to make their way in great city. One of them beoomes the victim of the son of a wealthy man and the calamities which befall both of them are calculated to teach a great lesson The piece is nicely staged. The scenery is beyond much that is commonly seen on the stage. The cast is a strong one throughout. The two sisters are well cast in Miss Merrick and Miss White. Eugene Jepson's "Hiram Pepper" is capital character. Myron Calice as "Harry Norton" appears to good advan tage. The singing by the quartette is excellent, and all the specialties are of the highest order.

THE OILMORE JUBILEE FESTIVAL. On last Monday night the Oratorio society, increased to 2C0 voices under the direction of Prof. Bukowitz, commenced to practice the musio for the Gilmore jubilee festival, 200 books of the choral music having been received. The more difficult .numbers were taken up first, and good progress was made, though one was the grand prayer and finale in Lohengrin, which, with its sudden transitions to remote keys, sometimes rendering enharmonic changes necessary, took the singers by surprise. This num beralone'is worth more than a dozen common concerts for, besides the great chorus and orchestra, the six principal soloists, with Myron W. Whitney as the bass, have parts In it. Handel, Haydn, Mozart, and Verdi will each be represented by their most popular choruses The date has been fixed for May 13. Matinee and night concerts.
