of that church. Only a few of the relatives and friends of the happy couple were present. Mr. Carbee is a popular and highly respected young man of Terre Haute, and possesses business qualifications of a high order. The bride Is well known in this city, having lived at Oakland Heights all her life. Mr. and Mrs. Carbee left this afternoon for a trip through the east, after which they will return to Terre Haute, where they will hereafter reside. They will be at home, 621 Chestnut street, in this city, after October 21. *,

A prominent feature of Tuesday evening's council meeting, was the action taken on the water works question. The committee reported in substance, the same grievances as were originally made, and recommended that the city attorney draw up an ordinance to rescind the water company's charter. The re port was unanimously adapted by the full council, after which an extreme or dinance was introducted arbitrarily repealing the contract. This happened not to be the caucus programme and by a vote of 8 to A the ordinance was tabled. A second ordinance was presented however, and this will come before the special meeting to be held later in the week.

The organization of the new Terre Haute Shovel and Tool works company is now complete, the following officers having been elected:

President—D. W. Minshall. Vice-President—H. Halman. .. Manager and Treasurer—Charles MlnsbalL Secretary— H. A. Urban. Mr. Charles Minshall, who will have the active business management, Is at present secretary of the Central Iron and Steel company at Brazil. He is »eputed bb a young man of exceptional business qualifications, so it is certain that the interests of the tool works have l^en placed in safe hands when entrusted to him. The decision was again made to start the works at an early date, a very satisfactory announcement to the many men who will be employed when operations are once more resumed.

The Hebrew bazar, which commenced Tuesday and continued during the week, was one of the most successful affairs of Its kind the city has ever known. In many rospeels it was exceptional, no expenses being spared on the part of Individuals to make it beautiful and attractive. The largo ball, containing the fancy booths, was most tastefully arranged, and the scene that greeted the visitor on eutering was dazzling. The methods of raising money were very similar to those commonly employed at fairs, and of course reaped very complete rewards. But in It all the ladies In charge*were so courteous and reasonable that a man could spend a great deal of money and go away without feeling that his good nature had been imposed

For each evening a programme of music and special features was arranged, which included many ladies and gentlemen In no way connected with the fair. Thus they were the guests of the Hebrew ladies and as such they received every courtesy which a guest should bo extended. To say they appreciated the treatment only mildly expresses the pleasure experiences, It being a little unusual for them to be shown so much attention even though it was really due them. There was one other exceptional foature deserving special attention, and this was the active participation of almost every Hebrew In the City Irrespective Of age. An lllusUatlon of the bonetlt coming from this Interest was had in tho fact that one well known lady who ordinarily would not beoxpoctodto take active part cleared $101 for the society by donating a line chair and then selling the chances on it. She Is to be commended* Indeed all the ladles are to be commended and congratulated, for they did well, and deserved having their efforts repaid.

By working both day and night to the exclusion of all regular duties, the special committee having in charge the Flt*patrick investigation completed its work Tuesday and reported to the city council at Its evening session. It is hardly necessary to say that the showing was such as everybody antienpated. The thievery commenced at the very opening of Fiupatrick's first and continued up to the end of his second term The following table shows the total amounts and from what source taken: jPtRSTTSBX. C.

nUSHMAS'S lOVB TO-XIOHT.

Wi« evening tlie new Irish comedy "An Irishman's Love" at Naylor's, with Richard Devlin and Frank Davis in the title rolee. The play is said to be bright and witty in dialogue, intersperced with touching pathos natural and unexaggerated action, an ingenious story of Irish life, pure and clean in sentiment and free from the unpleasant caricature of the Irish race so often Men on the stage. The scenery is all new and strikingly realistic. A large audience will no doubt be present to-night.

BEX HUB.

If ceaseless effort and elaborate arrangement, combined with great capability, are not sufficient to make a dramatic undertaking successful, then in all probability St. Stephen's Guild's production of Ben Hur will not be a success. But if these are sufficient then the public may expect a most beautiful and complete spectacle. Rehearsals for the event are being held three times daily and under the guidance of Mr. Melville, who is a tireless worker, the young ladies to comprise the various dances and impersonate the characters of the story are making great progress. Professor Melville says his classes here have accomplished in two weeks what classes elsewhere have not been able to do in four, which may be taken as a high compliment in more senses than one. The Mail's announcement of the play last week was very complete, and there is very little to say in addition except that all indications point to an eclipse of the Kirmess success and this being true the public may know what is in store in the presentation.

Reserved,seats are now on sale at Button's 'or the entire week. Prloes are for the week, 75'cents single admission

THE NATIONAL FLOWER

Rehearsals for Mrs. Allyn auhdJs operetta, "The National Flower," have been going on constantly during the last week, and with each day the prospects for a most enjoyable presentation improve. The beautiful costumes which the 100 persons in the cast will wear, are being made at home and will consequently bear scrutiny near at hand as well as from a distance. The prices of admission have been placed at 50 cents for the Friday evening performance and 35 cents for the matinee, most reasonable rates for so excellent a play. The mystery surrounding the selection of the national flower by Uncle Sam is still unravelled, and is causing much speculation among the young ladies of the jury who could not arrive at a decision ou the subject foi themselves according to the scheme of the plot. The music for the Ringgold orchestra will be arranged by Profesror Breinlg, and this guarantees that the orchestral numbers will be beautiful a&d well rendered.

CITY CLUB BURLESQUE. 3

The City Club Burlesque Company la the attraction announced for Saturday, October 18th, at Naylor's opera house. Ibis company comprises forty artists, atnong whom we mention Miss Annie Llvlnscston (nee Mrs. J. L. Sullivan), Miss Kitty Wells, Miss Clara Stltnans, Miss Ray Reynolds, the Evaretts, Lony and Evans, Wilson and Davenport, Jennie Macoy, Bryant and Wells, and the great Sefton. The programme presented is a varied one and is sure to please. It opens with an opera bouffe entitled,

Studies in Black," which consist of elegant costuming, delightful music, witty lepartee and amusing dialogues. The olio embraces several noted vaudeville stars and Matt Moyan's living rep resentations of famous art works, such as Millet's The Angelus, Plague Before the Tribunal, Judgment of Solomon, Parisian Nantch Dances, and The Destruction of Pompeii. These pictures are represented by twelve young ladies, who were brought from Paris especially for this company. The concluding burlesque is atraverslty on Den man Thompson's great play, The Old Homestead, entitled, The O-Home-Instead. It is said to be very amusing.
