MAN ABOUT TOWN.

One Of the bnlldtng projects It was sincerely hoped would be developed this year/a Masonic temple, ha* been postpojj, owing to the mrlngenoy of the jd|Hr market. The property owned !by Masonic bodie*^ at the corner bf Eighth etireetand Wabash avenue, is one of the most valuable locations In the city, and when commit tea were appointed last spring, from the different bodies, to look into the advisability and possibility of putting up a creditable structure, it began to look as if that much-talked of building would be put under way. It looked more like it, too when W. P. Ijams was elected chairman of the committee, for with his well known success as a promoter of such enterprises, it was thought the matter would be a sure go. The committee had many meetings, discussed plans fpr raising the money to build, and went so far as to iuvite plans from archltecta'for such a structure as was thought could lieerspted. This was all done as a preliminary to reporting to the several bodies the ateps taken, the plans for securing funds, ©to.? ibis work be log (subject to the approval of the bodies interested. Then If the wcheme w«s ieaslble, It was expected that the proper building committee would b6 chosen, and the temple put under way. The preliminary committee had A great deal of encouragement give# thern at the start. It looked as if there would be no difficulty in renting the lowor floor to some responsible firms, a number of moneyed men expressed a 'willingness to help the matter along as a matter of local pride as well as because it looked like a good place to invest the money. But, soon after, money began to get oiose, and gradually tightening up, It sealed the fate of the Masonic Temple^ this season at least, and it isfeared for many seasons to oome. Many times before has an attempt been madq to put life into this project and as many times have the attempts failed, and when the prosent effort was begun, old and prominent members of the Masonlo fraternity expressed the oplnlou that if not done this time it would never be built. A building of, (he magnitude flgure& on would be a "lastlag credit to Terre Haute, well as to the fraternity Interested, and It l« to be hoped these prophesies will not come true, although

ototlook for a temple In the near future Is not very brilliant. Just now a scheme Is being talked of to remove the qsefpl-, but not very ornamental bill Ijoarflsj whlob surround ftl»4 r^n^ove ithe briok and other articles stored there, and beautify the place In keeping with Its Importance. Such a scheme, it Is said, finds much favor with many members of the Masonlo fraternity, and It will certainly add much to the appearance of the locality.

One week from nextTuesdwy, Aug.22, Qus, A.Conxman will retire from the office of county treasurer, after four years' efllolent service, and will be succeeded by "Jack" Walsh. A more popular or more efllolent man never held that office, and Mr. Conzman retire* with the good wishes of everybody, his political opponents as well as those numbered atn*mg his owu faith. Politics, it la. MM, unfortunately, bit truly, has a temlet.oy to demoralise a man, and one who passed through it unscathed is entitled to credit, and this credit certainly belongs to 0us. Oonzman, He has no plans for the Immediate future— unless the office of revfcnu^ collector should be allotted to htm, and should this prise be awarded to him, it Is certain he can fill the office with credit. "Jack'1 Walsh, who succeeds Mr. Cofi*man, has had four years* experience in the office and 1* certainly well qualified for the discharge of Its duties.

express. He did as requested but the next mail carried a letter to New Orleans that read the riot act very energetically for proposing such a foolish scheme. He pointed out the state of affairs that would come to pass if every man in the country who is doing business should adopt such a plan it would destroy utterly the confidence which Is necessary to carry on trade. It would require every man to be his own banker, would do away with all our banking institutions and bring business into a state of chaos. The New Orleans man hasn't replied to the letter yet, and when he does he will probably "come off his perch."

The trial of Fire Cuief Kennedy on .the charges preferred against him by Councilman Wey, will be held before the entire council as a committee of the whole, next Tuesday night, with Mayor Hoes as presiding officer.

It is not known what the action of the Republican members will be inj the matter, but without their assistance, councilman Way cannot hope to, have the charges sustained.

In the trial of any* offlg* of the city, Whether elected or appofbted, it requires a two-thirds vote of all the members elected to expel or remove, and a solid Democratic vote agajSnat Kennedy would not remove him without Republican assistance. It is Sure, thought, that Kennedy will get support from many Democratic members, and he has some friends there who will stick by him through thick and thin.' In the trial the law and rules of the Vigo Circuit court will govern, so far as applicable, and the mayor decides all questions of law and evidence.

Councilman Wey denies having been aware of the faot that Kennedy was not able to read when be voted to make him chief.

The city engineer has filed the final estimate for the Seventh street asphalt improvement, and it will come up before the council Tuesday night. The largest assessment on It Is against the street car company, amounting to |17,802. Mrs. Diana M. Kearney, who Is the widow of "Fight!or Phil" Kearney, of Mexican and rebellion fame, owns the Strawberry HiU lots, and Is asaeseed $3^83, while Mrs. Lucia E. Putnam's assessment Is $2,241. lite total assessment for the street is $76,802.14, of which the city pays for street and alley crossings, $!t,73#.?4.

The Terre Haute C»r Work* Partially Destrayed by Fire—A Loss of $75,000. Acres upon acres of -ruins mark tho spot where'stood the frame buildings pccuj/led by the Terre Haute Car and Manufacturing Co., fire having consumed them Thursday afternoon, entailing a, loss of nearly $76,000. The works welre In the hands of an assignee, and had started up with a small force of men but a day or two before. The, fire originated in the engine room, and in a brief space of time the erecting shop, machine shop, planing mill, blacksmith shop and finishing shop were in flames, which spread

That muoh-mailgned Wabash avenne pavement had a test Thursday night that stamped it as about the best briok Twelfth and Poplar* was considerably pavement that was ever laid. An eight |/W IMVM W ¥MW¥ W —, O W inch water main, on Main street, at the from the southeast, it is likely nearly corner of Fifth, burated, as a result of the high pressure put on on account of the car works' fire. The water forced its way through the foundation of the street along the curbs, and along the street car track In such quantity as to flood the street, and some of the cellars adjacent. And yet despite theenormous pressure, the brick hung together In a solid mass until the north side of the street was nearly afoot higher than the south, and yet wagons drove over it without danger, tn repairing thebufsted main, the bricks had to be separated by a chisel to which a great deal of hammer-blow motion had to b® Imparted. It was simply Impossible to pry them apart. Not long ago, In repairing some mains on east Main street, the entire stone foundation for the brick was removed for' several feet, and while In this shape, despite th4 warning of the workmen, several h&avy loaded wagons drove over the undermined part, without causing the slightest displacements As a matter of fact, it is extremely doubtful whether a brick pavement was ever put down In this country that is equal to ours. When some of us who are now men, are, like John Brown's body, "moldering in the tomb," and our children have taken our places, that Wabash pavement will be with them, a tribute to the ability of the engineer who prepared the specifications for it, and to the contractor who built It.

all that portion of the olty adjacent to the car works -would have. been.destroyed.

The insurance on the entire plant was $126,800, and of this about $45,000 was on the buildings destroyed and their contents. A great portion of the Insurance expired at noon to-morrow, and arrangements were being- made for its renewal white the fire was In progress. The Insurance money will be pald( over to Asslgnee H. J. Baker, and Used for such purposes as the court may direot.

The Terre Haute Car and Manufacturing Co.'s plantlwas one of the largest of the kind In the country, and last year turned out 4,000 oars, repaired nearly 1,000, and paid out over 1400,000 tn wages. Six years ago last month, the company met with alike misfortune, the works being then almost totally destroyed by fire, the loss being 960,000, on whloh there was insuranceof only $35,000. -The works were immediately rebuilt, and were in operation within a month after the fire, lip

The shops will not be rebuilt at once, owing to the unsettled condition of business, and Iheffaet that |he4ompany had assigned, and has no cofl|£ra$t» on hand to necessitate it. Lewis J. Cox, vice president of the company, is very positive in his statement, however, that the works will be rebuilt jnst as soon as the condition of business will justify it The shutting down of the works at this time was a calamity In liself, and now their destruction will increase the deplorable effects,

Women, as a rule, do not make love. Indeed, I have met many women who have never lOved at all—but never a man. He may not like the society of his wife or sister, but that does not prove he will not sue for the privilege of tying the shoe string of a pretty woman. Constancy is not one of his virtues, I admit, but he loves the sex. When a noted lawer in another city retired from his profession, I asked him what hd intended to do with himself7 He answered, "Spend the rest of my life among the wbmen of the large cities." Was his an exceptional resolve? A distinguished dipomat has been driven to the verge of suicide at the thought of never more being able to enjoy female society. Households are being broken up dally by the, infatuation of middle aged men for a pretty feminine face. Women are the cause of two-thirds of the duels fought. In all ages woman has been the incentive to the noblest actions, the grandest poems, as well as to the most devilish plots and flgndlsh tortures ever perpetrated by man.

Hard Times Deean't Aflot the Banlnesa of the Divorce Mill. About the only business that doesn't seem to be affected bythe bard times Isthat of the divorce Industry. Every week the mlsmated are applying for relief, and this week there were several suits of a startling nature. Eliza Wheeler had only a fourteen day's sojourn with Charles, and like the man who ate crow, she had no trouble In discovering when she had enough. On July 3rd they were wed, and on the 17th she quit bins, owing to the faot, as charged in her oomplalnt, that be is an habitual drunkard, that he has beaten and cursed her, and worst of all, that hehas wandered from his own fireside to that of some of other woman who had no claim on him, and so she prays for a legal separation

Along the latter part of last year there was a widespread demand for a "change." It Is not known whether or not this was what caused Elsie Van Brunt to desert her husband John A.» but in his petition for divorce he alleges that a change came over the fcptrlt of he* dreams last December, and sbe left bimf after telling blm that she loved Daniel Metzel better than she did blm. He alleges that sbe is now living with Metzel In Indianapolis, and therefore wants a divorce.
