One or two more days will settle the iate of the Guarantee oil well No. 2., as the tools are now very close to the oil bearing sand. A great deal depends upon the result of this final effort.

Walter M. Knapp, of Westfield, 111, united in marriage to Miss Grace Gruber Wednesday morning at the bride's house on south Third street, Rev. Flint, of Peora, 111., performed the ceremony. Only the relatives of the young couple were present. The bridal pair will visit one week in Chicago, and will then go to their home in Westfield.

According to the court house records, marriage is steadily on the decline in Vigo county. During the last year ftut 521 licenses to wed were issued as Compared with 535 in 1888, 588 in 1887, and 577 in 1886. The licenses issued by months during 1889 w&re: January 38, Febuary 41, March 48, April 33, May 27, June 46, July 3d, August 33, September 47, October 71, November 44 and December 57.

The funeral services over the remains of the late Harvey J. Huston were held at the Central Presbyterian church, Monday afternoon, and were very impressive. The attendance of those who knew the deceased, among whom were the bar, was very large. The remains were taken to Highland Lawn cemetery for interment. Monday morning a memorial meeting of the bar Mas held in the Circuit court room. 'Addresses eulogistic of the deceased were made by David N. Taylor, Martin Hollinger, D. W. Henry, S, C. Stfmson, Judge Allen, Judge Carlton and R. J. Smith. Resolutions of love and respect were reported by Judge C. F. McNutt.

Terre Haute has never known a worse New Year's day* than Wednesday. This is not intended to mean that the social feature of the day was a* failure, for, if anything, arrangements had been made for a more general observance than last year. There were not many officially' announced open houses but a great many ladies had expected to receive informal calls. All this anticipation was however completely drowned out by the drenching rain wljich began Tuesday about midnight and continued during tne entire day. The streets were flooded with water and very few callers ventur ed out, much to the disappointment of those who were prepared to entertain The rain fall was very heavy, possibly the heaviest on any one day since-the cloud burst in August.

One of the most notable events of the season in social circles was the wedding of Mr. Horace O. Wright and Miss Mary Black,on New Year's evening. The ceremony took place at the Black family residence 6ast of the city, the Rev. Dr. Towne officiating. The parlors were beautifully decorated with flowers, and the bride and gi oom stood beneath a floral bow and arrow composed of pink and white roses, whilo the ceremony was performed. A great many friends from the city and from a distance witnessed the marriage and enjoyed the elegant reception which followed. At midnight the the bride and groom came to their new house on the corner of Center and Oak streets. May their wedded life so happily begun continue through many years of prosperity and joy is the wish of their many warm friends.,

At six o'clock Monday morning a general strike of the freight conductors, engineers, firemen, switchmen and brakepnan was inaugurated on the Evansville & Terre Haute railway. The immediate cause was a disagreement between the conductors and Master of Transportation Hurd, over the discharge of Conductor G. W. Lovejoy. The conductors demanded Mr. Lovejoy's reinstatement and Mr. Hurd refused to comply. The cause for the discharge was that an order to flag a certain train had not been complied with. The effect of the strike has been to completely stop all freight business on the road, and unless some agreement is soon reached the men say the employes on the other Mackey lines will go out. Not a freight train has gone over the E. & T. H. or E. fc I. since Monday, although the company has made several efforts to get trainmen from other places. The strikers have argued with these men as they arrived and the result has been that so far the company has accomplished nothing. Several times trouble has been feared between the strikers and the imported men, but so far no actual collision has taken place. A number of local manufactories are suffering, as fuel and materials can neither be taken in or freight shipped out. Among these are the brewery, distillery, Kidder's mill and nail works.

One of the most tragic deaths Terre Haute has known in recent years, was that of James A. Byrns, on last Sunday evening. A young man, still in his minority and just learning the foundation principles of business life, he lost control of himself and in a siege of despondency, committed suicide by shooting himself through the brain. The deed was committed In his room at the home of his grandmother, Mxs. Theodore Hudnut, on Cherry street, about 5:15 o'clock. Death was not instantaneous. The shot produced complete physical paralysis from which he did not recover until the end came, about two hours later. During this period of suspense he knew no one and spoke bat once, then only to call tor an intimate companion. The immediate Cause of the rash act was that he had lost about $200 in the Main street gambling rooms on Saturday and Sunday and was unable to borrow from friends, on first demand, enough money to make up his

losses. His love for gambling, unrestrained when first indulged some two years ago, probably grew on him until he could not control it. Recognizing this, his uncle, Mr. Ben Hudnut, ordered all but one Main street gambling room to refuse him admittance. This one was overlooked, and there it was the skillful players out played him at the last. The young man was also an inveterate cigarette smoker, and the habit was gradually undermining his health. He realized this and was trying to break off from it with some success. The other habit he could not give up although many of his friends had urged him to do so. The gamblers were always more than willing to play with him, and the inevitable end was that he mvst lose. He was always well supplied with money, for, besides an allowance, he was earning a good salary as clerk at the Hudnut mills. He was consequently-able to indulge his passion without his friends realizing tLs extent of the indulgence. As a boy he had* the best school advantages and had he been so inclined might still have been in college. He was on orphan, his father, Minor Byrns, having died some years ago, and his mother, who was a daughter of Mrs. Theodore Hudnut by a former marriage, having passed away a|out four years ago. The sad end of this young man, whpse life might have b^en prosperous and happy but for the ogpn gambling rooms, is to be greatly lamented. The funeral occurred on Tuesday afternoon, the service being conducted by Rev. Brandt. The remains were buried at Woodlawn cemetery.
