Another murder occurred In Clay county Sunday night. Fredjlniliarns was shot aud instautly kilWU by his brotherlnlaw, Robert Thresher, while (endeavoring to carry cut his old custom of periodically bulldozing Thresher. Both men wore miners.

Tbore is some talk of the old SouthQastcrn tracks on Water and First streets ^belng used as a portion of a belt railroad {around the city. Railroad men are injterofttod in tho project, it is said, and it is quite likely that a bolt company will bo formed at an early day.

Mrs. Fannio H. Newmarf died early iyestorday morning of consumption at her home, on north Ninth stroet. Her

Illness was of lohg duration and death IS did not come as a sudden shock to her /friends. She leaves one son, a mother $iud a brother to mourn her loss.

From indications it seems that the base ball brotttorhood must go to pieces. Terre Haute's one player in the jiew association, Albert Myers, has ten tiered his resignation and gone baok to the Philadelphia league team. He sign ed to play in Philadelphia for three years. ________________

The holiday ball given by the Knickerbocker club at Dowling hall Thursday evening was a very ploasant affair. _^ultea number from neighboring cities j| .ittended among whom were, Miss Helen ^lrd, of Paris, Miss Neflf, of Greenstlo, and Misses Luther, Chromeyer, ^estfall, Wolfo, HinKle and Rodenrger, of Brazil.

Ig^The criminal record for 1889 shows lit thirty-two persons were sent to the Mnltentiary from Vigo county as com ftred with thirty-four last year. Four ^»ys were sent to Plainfteld, and three ^iuiinals were sent to the county jail $ serve out their time. Not one person lis sentenced for murder, which, taken [fl in all, Is a very good showing.

Alfred Dolan, son of Mrs. James Doa, died at his mother's home, on south *elfth street, Christmas day, of conniption. He was thirty-three years of «, and was a member of the Catholic arch. For the last si* months he had M*n unable to work, but previous to it time was employed at his trade as a miber. The funeral services occurred ^terday. )ne lonely cow occupied the city undthe first part of the week. No laid claim to her, and in consequence forlorn animal was offered for sale. ton Christmas night some sympasing individual borrowed a crowbar pi the police stable, removed several axis from the fence around the pen, Ed let the cow out. Now the pound *por bewails the loss of several days* IWtantial feed.

Ivilllam E. Hill and Charles Harring£i, the two men arrested last week for bbing satchels from ladies on the were sentenced by Judge Mack ursday. Hill, who is 17 years old, given three year* in the penitenfry, and Harrington, about 15 years of was sent to the reform school. Hill |uld also have been sent to the reform loo I had it not been that the super! n-' [dent refused to receive him because ,-nade too bad a record during a former ,u in the school.

'eare are entertained by the family IS friends of Ernest Whltehouse that was killed by a railroad train near clngton, Mo., about two weeks ago. is supposed to have been on his way few Mexico to visit with the eon of

Oiflbrd in the hope of being benehd in mental condition. He was 11btted from the

IIMWD*

hospital at Indl-

jlls several weeks ago and when

heard from last was in Texas. Fears of his death were aroused by his mother, Mrs. Yates, reading a description of man killed at Lexington which tallied exactly with him. She went immedi ately to Lexington, bat could not recognize the body as that of her son. Nothing has been heard from him for some time, and thus alarm was occasioned.

Through carelessness all the heaters on the second floor of the McKeen block at Seventh and Main streets, were left open last night, and there being an al most constant stream of water through them in consequence, some of the storerooms below suffered. The water went through the plastering and dripped down on goods upon counters. The damage of George Westfall will be about $30, while that of other firms may be greater.

There is apparently no end to the petty thieving going on around the city. Whether it is the latent energy of home talent gradually coming out or the skill of imported Jobbers is not definitely known. At all events the thieves are causing a good ideal of annoyance by taking holiday packages, snatching pursos and committing other like offenses. The police are said to be doing all in their power to put an end to the practice.

Elaborate arrangements are being made at Paris for the celebration of Andrew Jackson's day on the 8th of January. The affair is to be a species of jollification for the Democrats of the vicinity, according to the invitation, which reads "It is the desire that eyery Democrat in the county turn out and be present to celebrate the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans, and talk tariff reform." Among the speakers for the occasion are Hon. John E. Lamb and Hon. J. Mann, of Danville.

County Treasurer Conzman lias just completed what will prove to be a very valuable reference sheet, in the form of a complete tabular history of Vigo coun ty's financial standing during the last nine years. The report was prepared for the bureau o,f statistics of the United States, and will be printed with the records from all over the country. The table includes receipts and expenditures from the several funds, both county and state, during the entire nine years.

The physicians have been kept busy all week writing out certificates of «*acoination for the hundreds of school chil dren and students attending the various schools of the city. According to the board of health, each student must show a certificate on returning to school aftor tho holidays. The majority of the scholars have been heretofore successfully vacclnatod, so it is only necessary that they display their scars to a trustworthy doctor to escape going through another trial.

The fire at about midnight last night was in the elevator belonging to Scott A Dyer, located on the north side of Main street between First and Second, and resulted in the complete interior destruction of the place. In the elevator wore 1,000 bushels of oats, 1,800 bushels of wheat, 1,900 bushels of rye, and about 1,800 bushels of corn. It is estimated that the loss on this, at cost price, is fully $4)000. Goods valued at $1,000 were damaged by water in the store of J. R. Duncan, adjoining tho elevator.

The thirty-sixth annual meeting of the Indiana State Teachers Association was held in Indianapolis this week, and, coming during vacation, when teachers are supposed to be at liberty to go and come as they please, quite a number attended from this city. These sessions are nearly always very pleasant affairs both from an educational as well as a social standpoint, and there Is consequently much for the teacher to gain in regular attendance, so that much Interest is usually manifested in them over the State. _________________

Christmas duties at the postofflce were the heaviest ever known in th6 history of the Terre Haute mail service. The carriers were loaded down unmercifully, as It seemed, and several were compelled to make three and four trips in order to cover their entire routes. Postmaster Greiner said over 3,000 packages were handled and that in all it was the hardest day's work he had known for some time. The carriers were not without their rewards, however, as each one received very pleasant remembrances from people in his territory.

The Epworth league, of Asbury church, is arranging for a very excellent course of work during the coming year. The officers of the league met Thursday evening and decided on a course of twelve lectures by eminent men as a prominent feature of their programme. It was also decided to devote a portion of each meeting to scripture study and in addition engage in the discussion of public questions of political, social and moral nature. The society is doing a great deal of good work, and the membeas are to be congratulated for making the union such a success.

Rev. John Brandt is certainly an energetic man. In addition to his duties as pastor he has managed to write two complete books and secure one very good patent and now he is engaged on another volume which will be ready for publication in the not distant future. This latest work is on the "Women of the World," and will consist of carefully written, authentic biographical sketches of ail the great women the world baa known. This Is a subject that has been neglected in literatures and in selecting it as the theme for his volume Rev. Brandt has taken a step that will please many careful readers and all students of history. It is said a Chicago firm is negotiating tor the privilege publishing the work.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVEM^G-

A fifteen-year-old boy named George Acton was found at Sixth and Main streets Tuesday evening in a beastly state of intoxication. True to the spirit of valor which permeates the entire police system he was arrested and next riferning fined for his crime. The saloon keeper who sold the young fellow his liquor was not arrested and so far as known no very great effort was made to learn his name. Thus it is so many boys in Terre Haute get that start which makes them drunkards for lifetime.-

A meeting of colored citizens was held in Gregg's hall last night for the purpose of organizing a branch chapter of the Indiana Afro-American league. This object was accomplished by the selection of the following officers: President, Joseph Jackson vice-president, Tony Howell secretary, A. E. Jfeeyzeek treas urer, Simon Daniels committee on constitution and by-laws, Joseph Jackson, Green Day and Marian Couchran. The purpose of the association is to advance the interests of the colored people by elevating them and securing a free exercise of their civil rights.

Mrs. Johanna Welsh died at 3 o'clock Thursday morning at her home No. 838 north Fourth street, of old age and throat trouble. Mrs. Welsh was born in Denolal, Ireland, May 1st, 1825. When thirty years of age she came to America and for three years lived in Cincinnati, coming then to Terre Haute in 1858. In September of the same year she was married to Mr. Welsh, who was foreman in T. B. Johns' lumber yard, and who died about twelve years ago. She leaves five children to mourn her loss, Mrs. William Burke, and Messrs. Edward, Con, Jerry and Patrick Walsh. The deceased was a member of St. Joseph's, and from this church the funeral took place this morning.

Word was received by S. M. Huston Monday morning of the unexpected death of his brother, Harvey J. Huston, at Tacoma, Washington, after a sickness of but two days with conjestion of the stomach. The deceased is very well known here, having been a prominent member of the bar for a number of years. He came to this county with his parents in 1871 and settled on a farm on the Lafayette road just north of the city. He graduated from the high school here in 1877, studied law in Judge Mack's office for a year, then entered the Vanderbilt school of law in Nashyille, Tenn., from which school he graduated in 1879. He retyrned to this city and practiced law as Mr. Martin Hollinger's partner. He then went to Dakota and returned here in about a year. He formed a partnership with Harry Donham, which lasted from 1882 till 1886. He went to Nashville for a year, after which he returned to the West and became deputy prosecuting attorney in Tacoma, where he died. He leaves a mother, brother and a sister, who reside at 65i Eagle street. The fuueral. will take place in this city on the arrival of the remains.

The holiday season has been attended with unusual social festivities. Dancing clubs have given receptions, young ladies have entertained in honor of guests from a distance, birthdays have been celebrated, wedding anniversaries observed, and in all, so matay things done to make the season a -delightful one, that it will go on record as being unsurpassed as a week of pleasure. To give a complete list with full reports of details, of the many pleasant affairs would till columns. With all these parties and dancing following in quick succession it is not to be wondered that there were more guests from a distance than for some years, and that these visitors are having a splendid time speaks much for the social character of the city. How generally the New Year's custom of receiving callers will be observed it is yet a little too early to predict, as announcements have been coming in very slowly. Indications would tend to the opinion that there will be no greater observance than last year, but there are still several days until New Years and many decisions on this score will be made between now and then. It is known that a great many young ladies will receive informal calls, and probably the day will pass as pleasantly in this way as in a general open house observance.

LICENSED TO WED.
