Town Talk.

litfKXCVSAEuS CABHi tt occurred to T. T., while read brief accounts in the daily papers •f.tpe runaway accident at Slxth-and-a-hatf and Oak streets, in which an old MlfM man came near losing his life, that Hi tv* attention was paid to the cause ffe unfortunate affair. The collision out of most flragrant carelessness on ihe part of the driver of the grocery wagon which did the damage, a species of carelessness which is cultivated by one half the people driving horses within the city. On driving up to the curbstone with his groceries, the deliverymai\ deliberately dropped his reins and they slipped and fell upon the horses Mmbs. The unexpected blow frightened the team and away they went. Tu»lrj* a sharp corner the panic stricken apli^s encountered the team of the old flol^J man, Willis Wade, and all efforts oiflt*. part at preventing a collision were

The wagons came together with a the tongue of the delivery vehicle stciki ing the colored man on the back of the head and knocking him sensel When picked up by people living he was found to be terribly injured a doctor pronounced his wounds not o' serious but probably fatal, and at lafr reports his life was still in danger. Hie accident need never have occurred had the driver taken the necessary precaution of hitching his team. And yet possibly is not so much to blame as his employer, and here it is opportune]^ remark that business men deserve the loudest and mos} stinging critiolsm tor so heaping the work on their delivery men, and in this grocery men are tuore finances, guilty than others, that they are fordn^

to leave their teams unhitched in gofp their rounds in order that their wo*k may be finished before night closes 1%, But there are hundreds of others tvi are not compelled to leave their how^n unhitched who, nevertheless, do It invariably. Only a few days ago a Varvdaiia official drove a very spirited horse up to the postoffice, jumped out of his carriage and left the animal standing unguarded and unhitched. From appearances the least disturbance would have caused a runaway. Of course mfi aways are not to be entirely prevented but.there is no excuse whioh will re people of,*all .respoysibilltj ihanftr accidents which do oocurand all because they leave their horses unhitched on any and all occasions and under any circumstances.

RULES OF SOCIETY.

There are many peculiar social "ideas," as they are termed, in this city of exclusive and seclusive society, and that they are absurd needs no demonstration. As an instance: It is considered highly improper for a young lady to invite a yon ug gentlemen to her home for dinner unless placed in a position where she can't very well help it. In this case she must take tho trouble to explain the matter in such a way that tho gossips will soon xpread the report that it could n9t be prevented. If this is not done it is immediately given out that there is a special affection existing. Why it is not very long since it was stated as undeniable proof that a young lady and young gentleman were to be married, that he took dinner at her home one Sunday. That there was some foundation for the statement was evidenced by a subsequent wedding, but that such a trivial thing should be given so much meaning is where the absurdity comes in. Another "idea" is that it is not the proper thing for a young lady who is blessed with a carriage to invite a young man, not so fortunately fixed, to take a ride with her. Would you believe it? This is oonsidored a greater violation of Terre Haute society rnles than to compliment a young man by inviting him to lunch, There are young ladies here who recoguize the absurdity of such stringent laws and some ot these do not hesitate in frequently violating the rules. They pre* to be admir«r! for their bravery and go _»d sense. It but evidence of baving otuee moved in more liberal and sensible society. It is such ideas as these I have mentl«nd that give Terre Haute the reputation of bring unsociable. V:

EVENING, JULY

^expenses, or theflevy ofr a saloon tax— and with characteristic consideration for ihe interests oi all but the tax-payets, 1% was decided to increase the already bftrdensome tax rate. An attempt was nftade to impose a tax of $250 per year on ialoonrf, ^ie successful adoptiorf of such aa ordFtkance meaning a speedy reoovery from financial embarrassment, but with triufnph !n their eyes, Messrs. Hertwig, ^ba^fer, Steeg, Store, Tnomas and Weldele promptly voted the measure down. Why this was done only the six can tell, for certainly the majority of the people of Terre Haute favor such a move.

At present the saloon keepers do not pay one cent into the city treasury they are not even an indirect source of revenue, for all fines collected from "drunks" go into theoounty funds.. T. T. has been told by well informed persons that the better class of saloon men favor a license as- a means of closing up a few of the •mQjftiir dives, and if this be true, there W absolutely so ground on whioh .the guilty councllmen can beg excuse. Before increasing the tax Sh.eff9r£ was also made totiecrease expenses by lowering salaries,.but thls^as promptly killed by the deciding vote of Mayor Danaldaon, on the ground that the motion was out uf order. With ttae^assy stare of desl&Jtheir eyes -the last resort was accepted and the tax rate increased. The increase waif ingeniously put under the head of "sMr'1 in the hope thst this department would prove as effectual in carrying off lhe public indignation as the

His ability to thoroughly handle the work Is certified to by the directors of Purdue University, they having tendered him the chair of veterinary surgery in the univeisity. Be has not accepted the invitation but has the offer under favorable consideration His duties as state surgeon will not prevent his acceptance of the offer. The doctor is still in the city, although his headquarters are supposed to be at Lafayette. He will not remove his family at present.

There has been another reorganisation of the street car company, a new list of officers resulting, with several additions to the list of stockholders. The object of the change was to so Increase the capital stock as to make possible a number of improvements in the service. The new stockholders are Leslie Thomas, Willard Kidder and R. W. P.lppetoe, and the new board of directors consists of Messrs. Kidder, Thomas, Rlppetoe, HuimaU atid Fairbanks. The officers chosen are R. W. Rlppetoe, president Willard Kidder, vice president, and Leslie Thomas, secretary and treasurer. The equipment of cars with the electric motors will not be included in the improvements, all statements and promises to the contrary notwithstanding, is it's thought the improvements in electric equipments during the next few months or a year will be such as to make an investment at the present time injudicious.

"Abott Ben Adbem ftnsy his tribe inc.-en8e). Awotre one ni^bt trom a deep d?«atn of peMe.".

And saw standing in the moonlight in his own room an angel, writing in a book of gold. The angel tells Mm, lu answer to his question, that the book contains the names of those who love the Lord* "And hi mine one?" said Adhem." "Nay, not so," replied ihe angel. "I pray thee then write me as one who loves his fellow men." The angel wrote and vanished. The next night the angel came again with great awakening light, and showed the names whom love of God had blessed, and lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest.

Itisap old legend, but it will answer for all time. Ben Adhem's tribe-has Increased. We have only to lift up our e^es anil look to see his descendants in every town and hamlet. Prominent among them in oar own oity are Chaun oey Rose, Herman Ho 1 man and W. R. MoKeen. The good constantly going out from the Rose polyteohnio, the Orphans' home, and from the large sum of money used by the Ladies' aid society who can estimate? The good done to sick, maimed, helpless, and suffeilng humanity by the fitting up and the mainjAnetsce ot St. Anthony hospital by Herman Hulman, who can estimate? The good deeds, the generous deeds done right along by W. R. McKeen—-the mortgage lifted from some poor woman's home the young men helped through sohool the hundreds of men and boys helped to a posilion money given to the needy the beautiful place fitted up and given to be a home for aged Women the kind, encouraging, sympathetic words spoken the good from all this whioh is known, and that whioh never will be £nown savti by tbose benefited and the recording angel, who can estimate?

There are talented girls and boys who cannot have their talents cultivated for lack of means. A little help would mean so much to them.

The more It Is thought of and talked about the deeper becomes the sense of the loss Terre Haute will sustain in Dr. Mendenhall's going away. What an honor this appointment was. No scheming, no planning, no wire pulling. He was chosen simply because he of all men in this great country was fitted for the position. It was indeed an honor.

The newspaper men in the east are wasting a great deal of ink and brain tissue upon the discussion of a suitable "national flower." One writes columns and waxes warm over his favorite, the golden rod, another chants the praises of the daisy, another the mountain laurel, another the magolia. Prof. Coulter, of Crawfordsville, suggests very sensibly the Indian corn. With the exception of this and the golden rod, none of the others grew in every State, but are confined to localities, It is going to be difficult to get every one to agree on any particular flower, and it will be difficult to secure an autboratative adoption of the flower if all were agreed on one. There will have to be a "flower clause" to the national constitution.

2 HE OIL WELLS.

Oil hopes were at the highest flood on Thursday as the Exchange drill appi oaohed nearer and nearer the fatal depth—1680 feet. Indications continually improved and at o'clock In the afternoon when the pump was lowered and oil brought out the stockholders oould hardly contain their happiness. The drill rope showed clearly that there was 150 feet of fluid in the hole aod this was confidently expected to-hf oil. But on development it was found to be mineral water and hope dropped from the highest pinlole to the lowest depth. Drills were sent a few feet lower only to let in more water, and at dark all hopes of Andlng a gush ot oil were abandoned. Five hours before not a share of stock oould be secured at any price but so thoroughly dlsoouraged were the stockholders at that time that several openly declared their stocky worthless The first shook brought despair, but iwaa not long until spirits revived ^*nd by Friday evening all the Interested parties were much more hopeful- hopeful enough to deeide on oorttinuing7 the investigation until ajl hopf^was conclusively shown to be groun^jjss. ^ChSr^ was a wide difference of or ulov*).,i. the best oourse to pursue, somlT^'^l^y that the drilling should havv^B ped when,the str$qg Ind^Sf^ were found-at about 1815 f^^|bui claiming that l8f$\oii had reached, and that by rlmitt* jt**uu*. hole, drilling below the watery V»,V ^n*«f lng the paying oil flow would t*

The Exchange company wa^'ifr of the first to organise, was the firs.* secure a lease and began drilling at actlyt^esame time as did the Kinse company, ^,:45 p. m. on Monday, M«" 25th, their well Veing located on. JK exchnnge lot.opposlt£

300 barrels a day. The stockholders were A. B. Mewhenney, president A. Hera, secretary and treasurer II. E. Harrison, Edwin Ellis and David Bronson, additional dlreotors D. W. Minshall, Marx Myers, Dr. J. E. Link, J, H. Briggs, Dr. L. J. Weinstein, I. K. Feci)heimer, J. Overman, of Chicago, and Mr. Baer, of Louisville.

The immediate effect of the failure was very depressing, but this was not lasting, as the many experienced oil men say this one failure has no other significance than to show that the field in treacherous. In this the Terre Hauto field does not differ from all others, as in Pennsylvania dry holes have been found within forty feet of paying "wells. Tho oil evidently flows In a narrow stream and until the courso of this is found it may be expected that there will be failures. That some of the wells now going down will strike tho stream or pool is beyond a doubt, as tho derricks are pretty well scattered and are sufficiently distant from each other to determine tho field. Several wells in other localities are now very noartbesand. The Joseph well ought to be in it to-night nnd thero is much anxiety as to the result. Tho Kinser well has been recased, is 1,56 feet deep and should reach the sand this evening. The Big Four is 1,500 feet deep but the policy is to drill slowly aud carefully. The West Terre Haute well was 1,574 feet last evening when Mr. Diall left to come to town for supper. The drill had passed through sandstone and was in slate. It is the belief that after this slate will be found tho sand in which oil is to be obtained, if at all. The Button-bole is getting very near the sand as is the Smith well, and all eyen are resting on them, it being a general belief that if the flow is north and south as indications now point, that both will "come in" all right. The development* of to-day will be interesting in more than one way, and will be closely watch ed. The Idaho •cotf piny let its contract for drilling yeste»d*y to J. T. Miller, who has the contracts at Par in and Greeneastle and for the Raccoon company. The Rose Oil & Gas company, v. ith a capital stock of 9@,uG0, has filed artintf** of a-""clallon with L. A.
