be would get on top again," now that J. Mackey Is interested in a big railroad project. A dispatch from Galveston says that he has telegraphed to the pro moters of the Gulf and Inter-state railway that be had associated himself with the King-Charles compauy, which is to furnish three hundred miles of steel rails, ties and stringers, and that he would personally endeavor to float the bonds of the new road.,

A writer in one of the Chicago newspapers makes a point that hoids good in Terre Haute when be says that the great defect in trotting meetings as a means of public amusement is the long waits between heats and races. Nine tenths of the people who attend the races do not care to go to the pool stands or to the refreshment stands but would like to see the contests through with in three or four hours iustead of five or six. The average length of a performance at the theater is two hour* and a half and that tires about all persons except those who spend only a few minutes between drinks in their seats. Five hours in the grand stand is rather trying on three thousand persons who do not leave tbeir seats and it generally is the caae that if they leave they miss seeing the close of a hotly contested race in which they bad become interested.

The Rev. Irl Micks predicts for race week, which is"&eek after next, Btorm on Sunday and Monday, liable to be intensified aud prolonged by the aunual autumnal crisis centering about the llth which is Tuesday. The 13th to 17th will also feel the autumnal equinox. Gales aud tornadoes are probable and cold weather will follow. Mr. JUicks gives us hope, however, that we may have our races before the bad weather gets here by saying that it must be remembered that storm areas develop in the West and that it takes from three to five days for them to move to the East.

"Generals" Gaivin and Gilligan, of industrial army notoriety, whose appearance in Indianapolis recently threw the officials of that f»ity into spasms of indignation were In Torre Haute last week. They even hired a hall and, I suppose, delivered harangues, but hardly anyene is aware of the fact. Indianapolis can work Itself into hysterics on smaller provocation than any city of its slr,e in the country, And, with all of its effort to be scrupulously law-abiding there is a great deal of murderous cutting and shooting being done there.

No one seems to feel it to b*» his duty to enforce any law to prevent the pollution of what little water there is in the Wabash river. The representatives of the United States fish commission have reported that the pollution comes from one of the gas companies and from the oil wells. The state authorities do not take any steps in the matter because they say the Wabash being a navigable river it is under the supervision of the federal authorities and the latter hold that the state should preveut the evil. In the meantime not only are the flsb being spoiled but the Budnut Milling Co. report that when the high water recedes the earth is left'impregnated with the oily stuff so that the farmer can not pile his sacked grain on the bank to await gthe steamer. ______

Mr. Crawford Fairbanks told me that l|the trust** supply of spirits when the new law went into eflRtiot last Monday would not last longer than three or four ^rno&tha not that it would be consumed in that time but that it would be distributed to the trade. The money to take the goods here out of bond was borrowed on three and four months time. The •distillery will be in operation again by

Witnesses from Koaedale have identiI fled Ed. Holloway as the man tbey saw in that town the night that the Jfew York express was wrecked at Fontanel. Holloway undoubtedly will be acquitted and then will follow a damage suit against the Big Four railroad company whose detective and lawyers made much display of tho arroat of the alleged train wrecker. By the way, none of the men against whom there was stronger evidence than against Holloway have been arrested.

Senator Voorhees is a very sick man The seriousness of his condition is as much due to his own apprehension of the worst as anything else. A week ago be made his first appearance in several weeks at the capitol and it was said that he was on the straight road to complete restoration of health but he has had a relapse and has gone to his bed again His physicians tell him that be must not expeot to take part in the campaign this year. A Washington dispatch says: "Senator Voorhees' general health, instead of improving, seems to be steadily declining and because of his advanced age little hope is held out of a permanent recovery. He will go to some health resort as soon as he is able to travel."

Mr. M. R. Hyman, representing the Bowen-Merrlll Co., of Indianapolis, is in the city arranging for a canvass for a subscription sale of Col. Thompson's

Personal Recollections of Sixteen Presidents." The first copies will be delivered in two or three weeks. The prospect is that the book will have an enormous sale, not only in Indiana but throughout the country. In December Mr. Hyman will arrange for a oanvass of Washington when oongress is in session. He speaks of the outlook from information received by the publishers as beyond the most sanguine expectation. Indeed, the sale is expected to rival that of Blaine's "Twenty Years in Congress," and Grant's "Momoirs." The work is sure to be an important contribution to the history of the government. No other man could have written of intimate personal knowledge of the men and affairs for alike period, and that it will be absorbingly interesting by reason of its literary merit "Uncle Dick's" ability in that direction leaves no doubt. The edition that will bo offarod to tbo public will be in two volumes, and will bo sold for $0. Mr. Hyman's subscription book Is headed with the signatures of General Harrison, General Wallace, James Whitcomb Riley and other wellknown Indianlans.

The public celebration in honor of the opening of a now union nt-atlon at St. Louis will be held to-night and it is planned on a big scale—commensurate with the biggest railroad station in the world. Mr. John G. Williams is to be one of the speakers. A11 of the St. Louis papers have written here to get his photograph but the last he had taken was fifteen years ago and he had no copy of that one. So, if you see his picture in the St, Louis papers you may know that the kodak snapped for him or a light ning sketch artist caught him on the fly.

I find that the people of the city are beginning to believe that Russell Harrison is the victim of a scheme to get his good paying street railway property away from him. Since I noticed that this impression was spreading I have been particular in "considering the source" when the subjeot was broached. In an hour yesterday a bank director, a prominent Main street merchant, a lawyer (not retained and a railroad man expressed that belief to me. When I suggested to them that though there may be such a conspiracy what the city is doing Is the safe thing to do, they retorted that while that might be true enough it didn't change the situation so far as the ulterior purpose of the opponents of Harrison is concerned. One of the gentlemen called attention to the fact that the street improvements ordered by the oounoil were along the lines of the street railway, whereas other streets, like Ohio and Cherry, need to be paved. A councilman who voted with the majority against the Harrison Interest also called attention to this aigni ficant course of the council. Of course Councilman Crawford is accused of being the one who is taking the aotive part in the fight on the part of the opponents of the railway company and Harrison has a decided advantage over him in one respect, at least, which is the popular favor of the people. 1 was told that when Mr. Crawford called on Mr. Harrison to loarn what the street railway company intended to do In regard to paving Sixth street, the street railway 1 president used strong terms In reply. He told the council man that if he,' the councilman, was so very solicitous

to protect the city's interests he would do well to devoid some of his attention to the dereliction of the electric lighting company, in which Mr. Crawford is the dominating Influence, in lighting the streets.

That Russell Harrison has made the street railway property a paying investment there is little doubt—and that is what aggravates some of our local capitalists. He has developed a patronage they had not thought possible without that extra source of revenue the receipts would be inadequate to meet expenses. One of the former owners of the property said to me that Harrison deserved great credit for creating this additional revenue. The gentleman remarked that when be and his friends had the property no one of them could give the attention to it that Harrison has done. This same gentleman furthermore assured me that Harrison had strong backing and that in tbis present controversy he was acting on the advice of the very best authority.
