A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

kound about town.

The river gave up its dead last Sunday morning, and revived the story? of the wreck of October 2«tb, 1892, on the I. & St. L. bridge acrosu the river at this point. Two trains met on the middle of the bridge and both locomotives went iown, one of them taking with it Wesley Allison, the euglneer. Every eflort to recover the body was useless, and there were some who Inclined to the opinion that he had escaped and left the country. Last Sunday morning, however, the body was washed from under the wreck, which la still in the river, and coming to the surface floated down the stream as far as the Smith greasery, near which it, wan found by .Benjamin Klmsey, who towed it ashore and notified the authorities. When taken from the wator the body was In fair condition, considering the Tact that It had been in the water six months. In one of the pockets was found the dead man's watch, which had stopped either with the accident or twelve hours later, a burich of keys, a twenty dollar bill and ihlrty-ftye cents in change. After viewing the remains Coroner Mattox had them sent to Katzonbach morgue, whore they were fully identified as the dead engineer. Immense crowds gathorod around the establishment and kept going and coming all day. For a time the doors %vere locked, but men and women alike crowded over the high backyard fonce and crowded in and out during the entire day, notwithstanding the fact that the body was so badly decomposod that it was a very tryiugordeal to go near It. Such a display of morbid, senseless curiosity Is seldom seen. In the evening the corpse was placed in a .metallic lined air tight casket, and oa the arrival of the widow and friends it was taken to Matloon, whore funeral services wore conducted Tuesday afternoon. Deceased had *5,000 life Insurance, which will now be paid to the widow, the companies heretofore having refused to settle. In addition Mrs. Allison is revolving a life'pension of 8K) per mouth from the company. The coroner has been investigating tho cause of tho wreck nearly all week.

Thus far the weather thia spring has been a mixture of all sorts, principally bad, Monday wilt commerce a new! mouth, and what it may have in store for humanity is more conjecture. For twenty years the average May temperature in this locality has been 83*. The warmest May was in lSSt, when the, average tempature was 75v» and thecoid-j **t was in im, when it was Iks0, The, highest temperature reached in May was on the loth, in and the lowest!

itev. Irl K. Hick* says May will *l*n tool and fair generally with Jrasta in the north. Toward* the 3rd a warm «,m. \H to bring reactionary storms.

JP. A EW ICE

After a few days of coolert clear weather it is to grow warm about the 7th, increasing as it moves eastward from the 8th to the 11th, and resulting in storms about the 8th, 9th and 10th. Fiom the 10th to the 15th there will be a marked tendency to frost, especially if there are storms on those dates. There will be a marked storm period from the 18th to the 22nl, with the crisis about the latter date, accompanied by a v^ry warm period, probably resulting in dangerous storms. Another rise in temperature, resulting in reactionary storms, about the 25th and 26th. The last day of the month will be the center of a regular storm period running into the opening days of June.

There has been a great variety of weather this week. It has rained, hailed, snowed, "blowed" and thundered. It has been warm and it has been cold, but it has been exactly as predicted by Hicks. While the weather has been doing all it could to make life miserable the streets have been contributing their share of tho general uncomfortableness. There have been oceans of mud, and away from the paved streats the thorough fares have been almost impassable. It has been mud, mud everywhere, without a dry spot Ou which weary mortal could set bis foot or find a resting place. And the worst of it is that when the dry season resumes operations the mud will aesume the form of dust and make itself more disagreeable than ever. These are the peculiarities of the Terre Haute streets. If ApriJ goes out as scheduled it will be cold.

Have you.ever noticed the dispositi of Born* people to spoil the a ppe! ruin-fa of their neighbors' premises by Iheir manner of building? may be that four or five people will erect houses on the same square, setting their houses at a uniform distance from tho stiyiet. Aftorwards some ass will come along and plant himself in the center of the group witlj a house ten or twelve fi»'t nearer the sidewalk than any oi the others. It is no use to remonstrate with such animals, for they are uot open to conviction. There should be an ordinance on this subject, if such an one could be legally made. The man who will deliberately spoil the appearance of a whole square in this manner is not a desirable addition to any community and should be made to move on.

The exam-pie set by the Terre Haute police force in suppressing the Chicago Sunday Sun whenever it made its" appearance here has been a good one which has been followed in a number of other cities since with marked success. Down at Evansvllle the police took the matter in hand, and when the consignment of the last is^ue arrived it was taken in oharge by the officers and its sale there will bo known no more forever. Evansvllle is a pretty tough towu, but it warn* It distinctly understood that it drawn the line on the Sunday Sun. The suit involving the circulation of tho sheet in this olty is still pending in tho Supoiior court, but It Is very doubtful that it will ever be triod.

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll says: "Here is a shoe shop. One man in the shop Is always busy through the day, always industrious. In the evening he goes courting somo nice girl. There are tlve other men in the shop that don't do any such thing. Thoy spend half of their working evenings in dissipation. Tb® first man by and by gets a boot and shoe store of his own. Then he marries the girl. Soon he is able to take his wife out riding at an evening. The five laborers, his former companions, who see him indulging in this luxury, retire to the neighboring saloons and pass resolutions that there is an eternal struggle between labor and capital."

On Thursday County Treasurer Consman paid to the Central Trust Co., of New York, $2,500, that being the amount due on the court house bonds coupons, Series C., which amount to 9100,000. The outstanding court bonds now amount to #360,000, bearing 5 per cent, interest, and all held by the Central Trust Company, of New York. After this year the annual reduction in the amount will be {£0,000, so that in eighteen years the court house debt will be completely wiped out. ..

The Electric street railway company is making preparations to further extend its lines. This week it petitioned the county commissioners for tho right of way along Seventh street, Huuth from Hulman to Voorhees, a distance of half a mile. The petition was gi anted on condition that the company make a roadway for wagons on the west, side of the track. The franchise i# for thirty years from April .SR. 189$, and the extension most be completed by July is iSS®.

After wrangling all week over a mining scale, the block coal miners and •perators reached an agreement at Brazil yesterday afternoon. The compensation is to bi% 75 cents a ton from May 1st till November 1st, and $Q ct&nta during the remainder of the year. The contracts have been signed, and that settle** the btt*lne«s for another year.

There has been a large decrease in the number of cases of infectious and contagious diseases reported during the month just losing. There were probably Biore than 32 cases of measles in the city, bat those were ail that were reported, and out of more than a thousand cases of the disease txeated this season not death has been reported. Five cases of diphtheria and two of scarlet fever were reported to the health board, and there was one death from diphtheria.

The.burglars are neither all dead nor are they yet all in jail. Last night they visited the hardware store of S. L. Fenner, ou Twelfth and Main streets, taking six revolvers and §2 89* in money. This was their second raid on this store within a month. On their first visit they took six revolvers, and if it was the same party thoy are evidently in need of firearms.

Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you cau possibly derive from them.
