The observance of Labor Day on Mon day was in ©very detail a complete success. Never before has there been an approach to tucb a unanimous turning out of the laboring men. Many of the shops and factories allowed their employes a holiday, as did the coal opera tors in the surrounding cities. Inconsequence the local interest was far more complete than expected, while the assistance from neighbors was a genuine surprise, so enthusiastic was it. The parade in the morning was imposing, and the exercises of the afternoon at the fair grounds were of such a nature as to attract a very large crowd. The speech of the afternoon waa delivered by Col. Maynard and was well received. A short address was also made R. P. O'Neil, of Fontanet, who in addition delivered an original poem. There were games and racing contests which helped to make an interesting programme. The celebration closed with a big ball at Germania ball in the evening.,

There is one boy in town who is about as brave as any two men of the community. He is the young son of C. A. Lowry and is now the hero of two runaways. A few weeks ago he was driving tbe Cook, Bell dtLowry delivery wagon up north Sixth street, and when just across tho Vandalla railroad a front wheel broke off. This frightenod the horse, which started to run. Notwithstanding he was in great danger, the little fellow held to the reins and did not jump from his seat until the horse turned the next corner and tipped the wagon over. Then he said, on regaining his feet: "I'd run him down if he hadn't turned this corner." Tuesday afternoon he was out driving the same horse, and again the animal ran away with him, and came t5aring round the corner of Sixth and on down Main. People on tbe sidewalks held their breath in suspense as the wagon passed between a street car and a buggy, for there was the little man once more, and this time he was seated on tbe shaft, with his feet hanging down under the horse, clinging for dear life and all the time yelling as coolly as you please:

Whoa, whoa." Had the wagon swerved against the street car he would have been badly injured, and it waa not until a plucky young man jumped in the rear end of the wagon, caught the reins and stopped the horse that those who saw the narrow escape breathed freely.

Wednesday was a day of disastrous fires for Terre Haute. In tho morning the Riverside woolen mill, which had such a narrow escape a few weeks ago, burned, and in the afternoon nine stables and three cattle barns at the fair grounds were destroyed. The morning fire was the more dlsastrons, the total loss being about §15,000. The third floor of the mill was completely burned out, and the other Hours so deluged with water that much of the machinery and a large amount of goods in tbe process of manufacture were badly damaged. The tire originated in the "picking room" as before, and is supposed to have been caused by a nail going through tbe picker with tho oily wool. The fire department arrived promptly and worked to advantage, although more would have boon accomplished had the water pressure been greater. Tho aggregate insurance more than covers the loss, being $20,000, Tho mill will be rebuilt immediately.

The fair grounds lire, which broke out about 4 p. m., threatened for a time to take everything on tho place but tbe work of the tire department prevented it. The oonllstgratlon started in Sam Fleming's stable from some kind of an explosion, as described by a hostler. Tbe wind was from the southwest and very soon the llames spread to all the sttbies east and northoast of the Fleming stable. Thirteen buildings in all wero completely burned to the ground. One of these was the now Trotting Association stable, while all the others were tbe property of the Agricultural Society. Tho loss Is about $7,000, partially Insured. The work of rebuilding will commence at once.
