Andrew Hale, the veteran victim of the Circuit court, who was recently arrested, tried and acquitted on the charge of robbing Watson's implement store, appeared at the county clerk's office, Tuesday, with a request for a marriage license. He was accommodated and now Elizabeth Johnson is Mrs. Andrew Hale. ,'vn

One of the boldest robberies of tiie winter was committed at the residence of N. F. Davis, 812 north Eighth street, Tuesday morning. The burglar entered the house in broad day light during a temporary absence of the occupants, and carried off a valuable gold watch. Mrs. Davis returned just in time to see him disappearing down the street.

There was to have been a prize fight in the city som'e time during the past week between Johnson, the local colored fighter, and an ambitious Indianapolis pugilist, but for some reason the affair did not materialize. Presumably the requisite number of "invitations" to make the event a financial success had not been issued.

Articles of association of the Terre Haute Pottery and Novelty works have been filed with the county recorder. The company's object is to manufacture and sell pottery and clay goods. The capital stock is $10,000, and the directors for the first year are Sylvester J. St. Clair, Charles H. Jenkins and Joseph B. Rhodes. The works are located on 19th and Main streets.

A. C. Johnson, who was arrested on the charge of violating the postal law and sent to Indianapolis for trial in the federal court, has been released, the authorities deciding that there was not enough in the case to justify them in holding him.

Recent and projected removals of leading business firms from west Main street locations to rooms nearer the central portion of the city, have lead to two more changos which have just been made public. A. P. Kivit's will open a largo shoe store in tho opera house room now occupied by Sheldon Swope's jewelry store, and Stein & Hockleberg will remove to the more conveuienttroom now occupied by W. A.

The object is to sustain interest in tho drills and promote the attendance at meetings. The qualifications on which the prize will be awarded are attendance, appearance, discipline, and excellence In drill. The first contest will occur on April 1st, to be followed by drills every three months thereafter. Any member winning three consecutive times will become nermanent owner of the medal.

John Bernhardt, the well-known jeweler, made an assignment Tuesday, turning over both the store and real estate for the benefit of his creditors, only retaining the f30Q allowed by law. The assets, according to most careful estimates, are aboutfS,600, and liabilities about $8,000. A number of Terre Haute&ns are among his creditors, but all these were secured against loss by chat tie mortgages filed just prior to the assignment. The cause of the failure is said to be too liberal crediting, and recent busiuess reverses.

A circuit system of electric time clocks Is being put in by the Western Union Telegraph company for the persons who desire the exact time enough to pay the expense involved in sustaining the system. The clocks will be furnished with electric batteries, wind themselves, and will be corrected once a day from the central office. The master clock, which will be the ©enter of the system, will indicate the exact time of day as received by telegraph from St. Louis. The wires for the circuit are now up, and the clocks, of which twenty have been subscribed for, are expected soon.

D. P. Downs, the well-known stock claim agent of the Vandalia road, and Miss Ella Sullivan, of Indianapolis, were united in marriage in St. Patrick's church, Indianapolis, Wednesday morning, the Rev. Father O'Donohue performing th& ceremony. They are now on their bridal trip in the East, and will not return before the middle of February, after which time they will be at home at 218 North 12th street, this city.

James Eeegan, formerly a puddlerat the rolling mill, has decided to go into the chicken hatching business on a large scale, and for this purpose has rented a two-story brick building at the corner of Spruce and Water streets. He has purchosed two incubators of 250 eggs capacity each, will put in an oil furnace to operate them, and will build a brood house which will hold 900 chickens. He will devote his entire time to the bus-

The county commissioners have very wisely determined to cut down the heavy poor expenses which township trustees have been reporting of late. This will be accomplished by ordering the trustees to exercise more care in the scrutiny of applications and to extend assistance to no applicant whose petition Is pot accompanied by the indorsement of two responsible citizens stating that the applicant has been a resident of the county one year and is worthy of aid as a pauper. The board's action meets with the approval of the trustees.

An experimental test of the efficiency of the method of inoculation for the prevention of cholera among hogs is now being made by veterinary surgeons Knowles and Thompson. Two hogs, inoculated by the celebrated Dr. Billings, of Chicago, were received recently, and these have been placed in a drove of hogs belonging to Mr. John Ryman, which are afflicted with the cholera. As the disease is very quickly contagious, the test, in case the inoculated hogs are not affecte^ will be considered a very strong evidence that the system of inoculation is a very valuable one.

The second meeting of Macksville voters, called for the purpose of winding up the affairs of the dissolved corporation was held on Monday evening, and was a sutecess in that a majority of the citizens of the suburb were present.

Frances Haberly, on south Fifth street. Invitations have been issued, and the celebration, which is indeed a notable one, will be a very pleasant aflair.

The wedding ceremony of Miss Fannie Toute and Mr. A. C. Welsh, at the residence of the bride's father, Prof. Toute, on South Fourteenth street, Thursday evening, was outrageously delayed by the disgraceful proceedings of a gang of hoodlums who had collected around the house for the express purpose of interrupting the weddiug The marauders threw stones through the windows and did other outrageous things that were only stopped by sending for police assistance. The serenaders were not then content, but went to the new home of the groom, tore down the fence and did other damage wholly uncalled for. The "fun" was carried entirely too far.

The railroads have been much annoyed of late by small boys stealing old iron and brass from around the yards and offices, and complaint being made to the police, a crowd of the little urchins were arrested. They were taken before Judge Mack and confessed to every offense, also telling to what funk dealers they bad disposed of their plunder. The result was these dealers were also called before the judge and very justly shared with the boys a very warm lecture. The extent to which this species of thieving had gone can be realized from the statement that a few days ago boys were discovered industriously trying to raise a box car with jack screws so it would not rest on the boxings, thus enabling them to take the brass bearings out of the boxes.

Mrs. John G. Williams gave a very delightful progressive euchre party Thursday afternoon, in honor of Mrs. Morgan, of Evansville, Mrs. Mellish, of Cincinnati, and Mrs. Webster, of St. Louis. The rooms were handsomely decorated with flowers, the effect of which the gas light served to enhance. The guests were Mrs. Marian Tuell, Mrs. Stanley, Mrs. Harry Gilbert, Mr*. Ed. Gilbert, Mrs. James Hunter, Mrs. George Farnngton, Mrs. D.
