John W. Kelley has sued Mary E. Eelley for divorce on the grounds that she has not been as true to him as she promised she would be, when they were married in February, 1881. He stood it as long as he could, which was in January last, and now Johu is a trifle anxious to have the Superior court ratify the break up lu his family circle which then took place.

Benjamin Wilhelm and Dr. Chas. Gerstmeyer have purchased property at the southeast corner of First street and Wabash avenue, with the idea of organizing a stock company to erect a building for the Terre Haute Carriage A Buggy Co., whose growing business demands a down-town location. No trouble is anticipated in securing the funds necessary for the enterprise.

Mrs. Susan K. Francis and Alexander Pence have appealed from the county board of review to the stite board, because they were raised on their paid-up building and loan stock, the former in the sum of #38,300, and the latter $6,000.

When W. H. Smith subdivided the land'just north of Maple avenue and east of the Lafayette road, certain ground was reserved, and indicated oh the plat, for a publio park. At least that is what is claimed, by C. P. Staub and wife, in their suit brought this week to restrain Lydia S. Barbour and Dr. M. H. Waters from disposing of the park reservation, which adjoins the Staub lots and which, it is charged, will be decreased in value, if the ground in queS' tion is used for any other purpose than a park. It is a question that has never been passed on by our local .courts,^^nd is of general interest.

The city counoil has advertised for scales, to be operated by the market master, on which all purchases of feed and coal for the police and fire department shall be weighed, also the coal used by the public sohools. The school trustees have entire control of the latter matter, however, and this provision can not be enforced if the trustee^, object The new scales will make things a trifle inconvenient for dealers at times, but will work no particular hardship on those who give honest weight. There have been times, however, when the city paid a great deal of money for a small amount of coal, aud a scheme like this would have prevented it.

Hulman A Co. and Hulman fc~Beggs expect to get into their new quarters on or about September 1st., when they will have the finest wholesale establishment in the State if not in the United States. The removal of these firms to that locality, the change of C. H. Goldsmith to the old Turner building just east of them, and the erection of the Hirzel-Kramer building, which is to be occupied in part by Apman, Faslg fc Stkrr, gives evidence that in a few years the entire wholesale business of the city—which is immense and constantly increasing—will be located chiefly in the territory between Seventh street and the railroad. It is said that a valuable lot on Ninth street, near the Hulmau building, which sold but a few years ago for $8,000, was priced at $25,000, only recently, and the owner refused to sell at that price.

Charles Dix and Jabob Artz are behind the bars charged with the burglary of Teel's hardware store some time ago, and indications point to them being the parties who broke into Ryder's saloon, on Wabash avenue. They were arrested in Chicago and brought here by Detective Dwyer. W. H. Bailey, who figured in the Big Four robberies recently, was also arrested for his supposed cooneotiofa2 with the case, but when given a preliminary trial on Wednesday, Dix and Artz refused to testify against him, and he was released. Dix and Artz, who had turned up some of the stolen property, refused to plead guilty, and insisted that their oase be continued In order that they might engage lawyers. Their cases were accordingly continued, their bonds being fixed at $500 each. They are both tough customers and haye figured before in similar enterprises.

Patsy Madigan gave his wife a severe drubbing last Wednesday, and she got right back at him by suing for divorce, the trial of which is likely to be quite interesting when it cornea up. She accuses him of being an habitual drunkard and with having treated her cruelly and inhumanly. It will be temembered that when the two were married, In March, 1889, Patsy went on a prolonged spree, was arrested with nearly $7,000 on his person, and that County Assessor Eraey looked into the matter, found the money bad never been returned for taxation, and Patay and his wife had to pay taxes to both oity and county on the amount. The balance of the money that Patsy hasn't used is deposited in the Prairie City bank in the names of the husband and wife jointly, and now the wife wants exclusive control of it. She is going after the matter strong and has engaged T. W. Harper and McNatt A McHuit to plead her case.

THE CIRCUS.

All the world loves a lover, the poet has declared, and next to a lover, the world loves a circus, and that part of the universe that center* around Tterre Haute will have a chance to see a first-dase one on Monday, August 14th, when the great Cook wad Whitby English circus,

menagerie, museum and raoing assocla tion will visit us. It is spoken of very favorably, and the Cleveland Hi has this to say of it: ^!he Cook A Whitby English Circus and Menagerie which exhibited here yesterday was revelation to our people, of

:the

possibilities of a genuine Old World Circus, and makes our well known and hackneyed shows seem very shabby and poor indeed by comparison. High class equestrian and athletio exhibitions in the three rings and the two elevated stages, new and never dreamed of by Our American showmen, followed eaoh other in bewildering succession, amazing and confounding the immense audience, while the numerous down acts interspersed would throw them into convulsions of laughter and merriment. We cannot praise Cook A Whitby too highly their parade nearly a mile in length was a succession of open dens, band wagons and blooded horses, all blazing in gold, silver and silk, their menagerie the most extensive one ever viewed, their circus and hippodrome performance immeasurably superior to any we know, or have ever witnessed. The balloon ascensions were successfully accomplished, while the various free .exhibitions during the day would more than ual the entire stock in trade of ninetyne per cent, of the shows that have ever -visited Cleveland. We heartily wish them success in their American tour, they so highly merit, and are so glad to have made the personal acquaintance of the managers, in that, that we have never met more courteous and obliging gen.tlemen.
