The conference of German M. E. min isters, held in this city the first part of the week, was in every way successful, the attendance at meetings and interest manifested being the subject of much favorable comment. Among the min isters present were several of the old pastors here, and the visits of these men were heartily appreciated by the members of the congregation.

The new Guarantee oil well No. 3 is not a gusher, but. nevertheless, is a good paying well, and will make money for its owners. Like many of the substantial Pennsylvania wells, the oil does not flow out, but rises to within a short distance of the surface, making it profitable to force the product out by sinking a pump to the bottom of the hole. The Guarantee association will sink another bole at once.

One of the first, if not the first, prosecutions of the Humane Society was won this week. The case was for cruelty to animals, D. B.

Van Cleave was acquitted.

Mrs. Michael Rhyan, living at 700 south Second street, was found dead in bed Monday morning at about 8 o'clock. She had been in poor health for some time, but her condition was not such as to lead her friends to suspect such a sudden demise, for when she retired she was apparently comparatively well and in the best of spirits. It had been a custom with her to sleep late in the morning and so her husband, thinking hei asleep as usual, got up and went to his work without attempting to arouse her. Mrs. Ryan was thirty-nine years of ago, and left seven children. The funeral occurred Wednesday morning.

The tool works are at present in a very embarrassed condition owing to the filing of suits for judgements on unpaid notes, aqd it is very probable that tho plant as at present operated will go into the hands of a receiver. The capital stock amounts to about $200,000, and it is said the indebtedness is fully this and possibly more. The litigation promises to be quite complicated, but the assertion is made that the eventual sale of the property will place the business on a substantial footing, when money can be made. The indebtedness is divided up among many persons and firms, some ot whom are directors of the company.

James M. Everly is in jail on a yery serious charge, and, as he practically admits his guilt, will likely receive a severe sentence. His crime was taking criminal advantage of Mrs. Clara B. Van Cleave, a woman who lives near Farmersburg, and has been demented for nearly 13 years. The actions of Everly area little hard to understand. He procured a license here to marry Mrs. Van Cleave, spent one day and night with her,

man and wife, went with her to Farmersburg, presumably on the way home, and then abandoned her. Information against him has been filed in the Circuit court.

John G. Briggs, who lived in this city for many years and was well and widely known, died at the home of his father-in-law, R. S. Heiskell, in Indianapolis, Tuesday morning. His sickness was unknown to his friends here, and consequently the announcement was a painful surprise. The deceased wassuperintendant of the water works prior to the reorganization of the company several years ago, and to his wide knowledge on the subject of hydraulics is attributed a considerable portion of the efficiency of the plant. When the changes were made, he left Terre Haute and went to California where he remained but a short time. Returning he settled in Indianapolis and was in business there at the time of his death.

W. H. Soale, supervisor of the census lor the Eighth district, has completed the arduous duty of selecting the census enumerators and as a consequence feels relieved of a very great portion of the census work. There were 1,500 applicants for positions as enumerators, and the task of selecting 366 out of this number can be appreciated by those who have ever held office or been in any way connected with party workings. Of the 366 appointments made, 133 are farmers and ISO soldiers. The following persons from this city were chosen: James H. Evans, Armln Homburg, Charles C. Oakey, Lea C. demons, Wm. M. Thompson, James Allen,

Benson, Mathew Boner,

James E. Wysth, Jeaale Purcell, Edwin S. Erney, Samuel W. Thomas, William B, Sherburne, Joseph A. Burgan.

TffiKKE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT.'

The school enumerators have made their report* and the snowing is a very favorable one. The following is the enumeration outside the city: Harrison 848 Fayette, 695 Honey Creek, 501 Lin ton, 524 Lost Creek, 653 Nevins, 755 Otter Creek, 406 Pierson, 536 Prairie Creek, 524 Prairieton 406 Riley, 649 Sugar Creek, 689. Total, 7,186. In the city the result was found to be: White children, males 6,732, females 7,032, total 13,764 colored, males 228, females 270, total 498. Thus the entire enumeration is 14,262, an increase of over 200 in one year.

Thtf thjrtv-third annual meeting of the general association of Congregational churches and Missions of Indiana was held here this week. The first session occurred Wednesday evening, and con sisted of the general introduction of members and and other preliminary work in addition to a service of scripture reading and prayer, The other sessions related more particularly to the business of the association, and were very interesting throughout the week. TJtie attendance was large and included all the prominent pastors over the State. Each evening speakers of national reputation addressed the meetings, and large congregations assembled to hear them. Other features of the week were the meetings of the snission societies. The week's programme came to an end this morning, and nearly all of the pastors have now returned home,

Saturday was a glorious day for Terre Haute. In the first place, Guarantee oil well No. 3 "came in" early in the morning with a very satisfactory flow of oil, even though the oil bearing sand was but slightly tapped. Next the Rose Polytechnic ball team defeated the Bloomington University team, in a beautiful eleven-inning erame at the park in the afternoon, and finally the Terre Haute league team defeated the Evansvilles on the latter's grounds by a score of 4 to 3. Each of the three victories was the occasion of great rejoicing in the circles immediately interested. The oil men were very jubilant, aud were wiring the news of their find in all directions. The students of the Polytechnic wore wild in their enthusiastic celebration of their team's success. The game was the first of the State inter-collegiate series, and was a great surprise to all base ball lovers in the city. The enthusiasts, who have come to be properly known as "cranks," were literally driven insane by the home team defeating the Evansville. They had hoped and prayed for such an end, but hardly believe such a result would be. Consequently they were more than exultant. In the evening all three factors united in a jollification that would have done justice to a presidential campaign. The oil men furnished the band, the cranks bought fire works and the Polytechnics turned out to a man with drum corps and transparency to swell the parade. The noise was simply deafening, but no one will dare say it was not pleasing. The occasion was memo**, able, and will not be forgotten for some time to come.

The week's record of the local base ball club has not been so glorious as could have been hoped for, the team suffering two defeats out of five games. This may sound as though it was expeoted the team should win every game. Were it not for the fact that the club has occasionally to meet Burlington, such an interpretation would be permissible. The three victories, two from Evansville, were glorious. The defeats were the rub. We are still second place, however, and' in this there is great satisfaction. Tho following were the scores.

Saturday, Evansville 3, Terre Haute 4. Sunday, Evansville 2, Terre Haute 3. Tuesday, Terre Hnute 1, Burlington 8, Wednesday, Terre Haute 6, Burlington 1. Thursday, Terre Haute3, Burlington 11. No game at Peoria yesterday on account of rain.-
