Mrs. Levi Hammerly, wife of Recorder Hammerly, died at noon Saturday after four week's illness. She was 28 years of age. Her illness was of a peculiar nature, it being impossible for her to retain food in her stomach, and puzzled some of the best physicians of the city. The decesased was the only daughter of Mrs. John Reece, of Lockport, and was married to Mr. Levi Hammerly, March 4th, 1889. The remains were taken to Lockport for burial.

The shooting match between the rifle team of Company B, First regiment, of this city, and that of Company I, Second regiment, of C'rawfordsville, took place Thursday morning, according to schedule, and the Terre Haute boys were defeated. The score stood 142 to 114 in favor of Crawfordsville. The local team accepts its defeat with as mttch grace as possible, and will endeaver to restore itself in public estimation by winninga contest to be held in Crawfordville sometime in the near future.

The success of the benefit fair last week was most pronounced. On the last night, the attendance was fully as large, if not larger, than on any previous evening, and fully as much interest in the financial feature of the benefit was displayed. The ladies who were instrumental in arranging and conducting the affair, met at the residence

Mrs.

Pence yesterday, and made a preliminary settlement. From the incomplete reports offered then, it is thought about 82,700 were cleared.

The first service of the recently expelled, or rather withdrawn, members of the German Lutheran church, was held at the Reformed Mission on Sycamore and Fourteenth streets, Sunday morning. Rov. Gilbert Smith, of the Independent Lutheran society, delivered the sermon, devoting himself to creeds and offering-some especially good advice to the congregation. The now church, which will have a membership of about seventy, will soon be formally organized, and then a regular pastor will be called. It will bo recalled that the trouble in the parent congregation resulted from the diversion of opinion on the question of socret societies.

The programme for the June meeting of tho trotting association has been arranged, and is as follows:

FIKHT DAY—TUESDAY, JUNK 3 1890 2:23 trot SoOO 2:32 trot 600

Other classes will probably open later. The purses are liberal and will attract the best horses in the country. It is now definitely known that Indianapolis will have no June race meet this, year. The Trotting association was formed, but as the Agricultural society Remanded a portion- of receipts, all plans were knocked on the head.

The popularity of "clubs" among the students attending the various schools here is on the increaso. The object iu view in tho formation of the "club" is to reduce tho cost of board as much as possible, and thus decrease the expense in coming hero to school. Among the students of the Normal this method of boarding is especially popular, and to such an art has the management of the affair been carried that at one place on north Sixth street, the cost per week for each member is only $1.75 on the average. There are sixty students in the club, and one of tho number serves as purroyor, buying all necessary supplies. These are turned over to a lady who does the cooking, furnishes the dishes and waits on tho tabln at the rateoi fifty cents per member a week. By this plan the young men and women are able to save from $1.25 to $2.25 a week on board alone, which in the long run amounts to a very neat sum.

Two gentlemen were conversing a few days since In the basement Sunday school room of the Congregational church, when one of them, an old resident, pointing towards the platform on the east side of the room remarked, "There, on that platform, or op6 that stood in the same place, Heniy Ward Beecher preached for nine evenings during a revival, about forty-five years ajro. He waa then pastor of a church in Indianapolis and came over to assist Dr. Jewett. He afterwards said publicly that it was on that platform that he first realized his power to touch the hearts and awaken the consciences of his fellow beings." It is quite remarkable that the two,and only pastors, I think, Plymouth church has ever had, Henry Ward Beecher and Lyman Abbott, both came from Indiana, from neighboring cities, and thai both should have become eonscious of their great moral power while standing on the platform in the Congregational chtmsh of this city. It is aliii farther interesting to know that the Rev. JT. Leonard Coming, for several years pastor of this church, was once a member of Beech«r*s church in Brooklyn and was a personal friend of both Reecher and Lyman Abbott, It may be added that the present pastor, Wm. Oram, ia an admirer of both of those distinguished men and who ia there that ia not? ....

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY E JENIN GMAIL.

The data of the High school concert has been chaiigfed to next Wednesday evening, tho 23rd. Fall arrangements have been completed and from the programme that has been prepared the concert will be one of most delightful the High school has ever given. All the leading singers of the city are to take part, which insures music which cannot easily be surpassed.

The ball team has no game at the park to-day, but to-morrow will cross bats with the Cain club. On Tuesday the Detroit club will be here. The league season opena on Tuesday, the 29th, when the Evansville team will play here. The event will be observed by a parade in which the Ringgold band will participate. George Dun, the letter carrier, Jack Yoit, sergeant of police, and E. J. Heaton, the printer, have been selected as the local, contingent umpires, and Sigmund Frank and John* A. Austermiller as official scorers:

It certainly is. a pleasing fact to the morally inclined people of the city that Terre Haute is not the abandoned place many think it to be. All oyer the country the city's reputation is unenviable. This is made known very frequently by traveling men remarking that they have understood this was one of the most Godless places in the west. It has now been made evident that the general opinion is decidedly wrong, and the cause of the situation is attributed to the fact that only the bad and none of the good has been repeated. Last week a correspondent of the Gazette complained bitterly of the wickedness of the city, lamenting the Sunday ball games, open saloons, etc. To disprove some of his assertions the Gazette undertook to establish the fact that Terre Haute residents were a church going people to as great a degree as the people of any other city in the State. To this end the attendance at the churches all over the city on Sunday morning was taken by actual count and was found to be 6,442. The numbers were divided as follows: Centenary 342, Asbury 108, German Methodist 129, Mattox Chapel 140, Allen M. E. Chapel 102, Sixth M. E. Chapel 37, First Baptist 496, Free Will Baptist 43, Newly Organized Baptist 43, St.

Joseph's

995, St. Patrick's 775, St. Benedict's 608, St. Ann's 631, St. Stephen's 284, Central Presbyterian 267, Moffat Street91, United Brethren 79, Christian 200, Congregational 207, German Lutheran 233, German Reformed 106, German Evangenical 85, Zlon's German Evangelical 51, Evangelical Lutheran Independent 140. Who can say the result is not gratifying?

AMUSEMENTS.

ENOCH ARDEN.

This evening Mr. Newton Beers the wel known actor, will give to the public his lyric and scenic production of Tennyson's master poem. Mr. Beers has gone tofa consideral expense in the production of this grand musical drama, but especially the New Orleans journals, that his "Enoch Arden" surpasses the expectations of those who witnessed the play. The scenery, consisting of fifteen magnificent views, is said to be the finebt ever staged. Quaint Cornish dances and delightful old Carnish airs are interspersed throughout the play, making it altogether a most enjoyable entertainment*
