FOR THE PEOPLE.

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

Tbe effort is being renewed to consolidate the gas companies. This lime, as in tbe last instance, tbe effort is by tbe men who have bad coutroliing influence in tbe old company's affairs.

Tbe Jate talk of acorn meal trust is, perhaps, nothing more tban a repetition of the amusiag display of a little knowledge by some newspaper reporter. The corn meal people have bad an association for several years, but not a trustor pool. Nearly two years ago It was attempted to convert the association Into a combine or trust, but this failed because an agreement could not be m&de as to the proportionate output to be allowed to the respective mills. Since then tbe association has been holding meetings almost monthly at which harmony of prioes has been better secured by an Interchange of business information. Tbe members of tbe association have endeavored to keep these meetings from tbe public, and in this endeavor have bad what to outsiders were amusing experiences. For a year or more the meetings were hold in Chicago and escaped tbe muoh-maiigned "ubiquitous reporter." Chicago is such a big place, and ao many bustling affairs of the business world are on at one time, it was an' easy matter for a dozen or fifteen corn meal men to meet In one of those mammoth hotels with vast corridors and large rooms and attract no especial notice to themselves. .The gentlemen who represented these corn meal mills, as a rule, were contented with Chicago for a meeting place. While they were not in a trust, yet they were fearful that should newspaper publicity be given to their meetings "the trade" would be apprehensive of instability in prices, with tbe result of a demoralized market. But, long immunity made them less cautious, and they conoluded to hold meetings at different plaoes at the requestor local members. About six months ago thoy went to St. Louis, and immediately thy country was informed by the press dispatches in a startling and sensational way that a great corn moal trust was then in process of formation. Our Terre Haute representatives wore named as the king bees in the glgantio scheme A description of that St. Louis Bensation by Mr. Hay Jon ekes, with his interlarded comments, wan a troat. What happened then has just happened again and, no doubt, the reporter is execrated by those affected in terms not fit for print.

The trouble with people generally In their fault ilnding with a reporter, is that they attribute to him all the errors and untruths which appear in the newspaper, when as a matter of fact, the people themselves make the mistakes and tell the Ilea. Every newspaper man of experience knows that his value as a writer of news increases with his ability to detect the He and not let the liar be aware of the fact, so that he, the roporter, may possibly separate a few grains of truth from the mass of untruth. I don't mean to say that the reporters who told of the corn meal trust were lied to affirmatively, but tbe chances are that some one over-*ealous to prevent publication at least, equivocated to mislead the news-gatherer by minimizing tbe meeting. The reporter, no doubt, was only so far capable of good reportorial work that he discovered the purpose of his informant and jumped at the conclusion that something Important was being hidden from biiu, and that something muat necessarily be a trust. If he had been told frankly the truth he would have believed it and we would not have had the sensation. But there are hosts of men who feel that they must lie to newspaper men to eecape misrepresentation and such men are the ones you ofteneet hear complaining that you can't believe what you read ID the newspaper*.

Man About Town ban been given a very straight tip that tbe Populists will get* very big vote in the Vim's shops this fall.

There Is a prospect that we may have AUx and Directum both here during the Trotting AssociationV meeting Sept. lM4th. They will not likely be matched for a race, and there would be

88111

more or less ground for the suspicion of a hippodrome in a race between these two trotters who alone have records within Nancy Hanks'. If each is sent to beat Nancy's time, although with no visible competitor other than the running pace maker there would be a contest arousing as much excitement almost as if Naucy was present in a magnificent effort to sustain her prestige.

The lawyers who are defending John S. Beach made a strenuously earnest effort this week to again say® him from trial by a strong presentation of several propositions of law, first, and most important, of which was that the special act of 1891, under which he was Indicted is unconstitutional, because it deprives the defendant of a fair and impartial trial. The law provides that the acceptance of a deposit within thirty days proceeding failure constitutes embezzlement, and this, the defense holds, abridges the constitutional right of the accused to have the jury determine the law and the facts. It is also said to be in violation of the principle that every man is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. Other reasons are cited in support of the motion to quash the indictments, one of which is that the title of the act does not embrace the subject as required by the constitution. There is some truth in this, but at best it is a technicality. The law is a copy of the one which has been upheld by the higher courts of Illinois. Judge Pierce in bis argument for the state maintained that tbe indlotments are not prima facie evidence of guilt, but that these instruments merely set forth what facta must be proven to establish guilt. After hearing arguments for two days, Judge White took the motion under consideration and returned to his home in Rookvllle. He wilt probably render his decision noxt week. If be upholds the indictments the trial could not be called before the next regular term of court, so that no delay is caused by the time he takes in arriving at a decision.

It looks as if the city government and the street railway company are soon "to go to law." A good, deal of bitter personal feeling is being engendered and the fight is to be characterized by a spirit of rindictlveness. There seems to be no doubt that the city's safe course 1b to refuse the company the benefit of the Barrett law, however unfair and unjust that may appear to be. The desire of everyons not actuated by personal or narrow motives no doubt is that the company should have all the indulgence, and a little more, perhaps, afforded to others who have to pay for new pavements but the question is a cold-blooded business proposition which the representatives of the people must consider with scrupulous care for the protection of the city's finances. That the animus of some of the opposition to the company arises from other considerations there seems to be no doubt. Russell Harri son had come to the conclusion that Councilman Crawford was crowding hirn with undue force and at the last counoll meeting he went after tbe millionaire councilman by attaoking his electric light oompany for failure to comply with Its contract with the city, lu this, as In other contests Harrison has been engaged in since he came to Terre Haute, he struok a popular chord.

Colonel Thompson had another of those mysterious attacks Tuesday morning. He says he felt the sudden clog glng in the throat and tried to oall his son Harry, but could not do so before he came unconscious. The spasm lasts but a few seconds whep he falls into a deep sloep which continues several hours. Reoently an army surgeon of large experience while calling on the colonel suggested that perhaps the nttaoks were the result of nicotine poisoning, caused by bis long years of smoking. Unlike tbe usual effect of nicotine poisoning, however, the colonel's nerves are as steady as ever they were. He told Man About Town that ho never knew he bkd nerves.

Mr. Ed. L. Jackson, writes from Terre Haute, Ind., as follows: "I am along distance runner and I think there is no better medicine on earth than Hood's SarsaparlUa for the blood and general weakness which will surely come to athlete. I frequently hear people speak of a very bad feeling after along run or severe exerolse, and Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best tonic in such cases."

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, AUGUST 25,.1894.

FROM BALTIMORE TO BREMEN.

An Interacting letter from John Q. Heinl, Regarding hi* Fungs or the Fond.

John G. Heinl and wife are now enjoying the beauties and pleasures of tbe Qerman watering places, and their stay on the continent is to be prolonged for a year. From a recent letter to his son, Fred, The Mail is permitted to make the following extract?^ telling of his trip crossing the Atlantic: Among the passengers were some very prominent Washington and Baltimore people among the former was Chief Justice Richardson, of the Court of Claims, and ex-secretary of the Treasury under Grant. A German minister from Yincennes, fnd., and an Episcopalian rector from New York held services Sundays and both had quite good audiences. There was an unfortunate young Swedish woman in the. steerage, who had lost her husband and had undergone several surgical operations and had little or no money. The company kindly furnished her with transportation to Bremen, and the saloon passengers made up a purse of nearly f40, in about fifteen minutes. We had an excellent table from beginning to tbe end breakfast from eight to ten in great variety lunoh at twelve served in courses, and a table d'hote dinner atsix, with changes and surprises1 every day, in fact, some of these dinners were regular Thanksgiving dinners,— then tea at nine o'clock.

Captain Thurman and his officers were very gallant and entertaining. Chief Steward Meyer and his Stewards did everything in their power to please the passengers. At the end of this very pleasant voyage the passengers offered a resolution of thanks to Captain Thurman and the

officers, which was

engrossed, signed by the saloon passengers and handed the captain. The distance from Baltimore to Bremen is 8880 miles, being nearly 400 miles more tban from New York. We made the trip in twelve days and eight hours, and many of the passengers left the steamer with regrets in fact, quite a few will remain: only a week or ten days on this side and a a

Now, as to our steamer, the Darmstadt. She is a beauty, a sister ship to the Gera, Weimar and Oldenburg, all built in '92 for the Baltimore service, and next to the Havel, Spree and Kaiser Wilhelm, of the New York service, the above four are the .next largest steamers of the North German Lloyd fleet, consisting of eighty steamships. These Baltimore Bteamers were not built for speed, but to carry a good ballast of freight, have accommodations for 1,000 to 1,600 steerage passengers, and amidship on the saloon and promenade deck are splendid, large and well ventilated state rooms to accommodate about one hundred first cabin passengers. The dining saloon 1b forward of the state rooms, lighted on three sides by port lights, with a oupola to tbe promenade deok in the center, and very elegantly furnished. The lighting throughout Is by electricity, and the ventilation is perfect, as nowhere any of tbe ship's dis agreeable odors were perceptible. There is a wooden-covered promenade of over three hundred feet, from twelve to six teen feet in width, with comfortable settees, and an uninterrupted view all around, as the sixteen life boats are on the bridge deck. The smoking and reading rooms, as well as the library and ladies' parlor, are models of convenience. We had fifty-seven first cabin and about one hundred and twenty-five steerage passengers, and a heavy cargo of freight, drawing twenty-four feet of water, which made the ship very com fortable, and we had not one real seasick passenger on board.
