MAN ABOUT TOWN.

I am told that the school board has a rule that works a hardship on the teach.era. Ten per cent, of their pay is withheld each month until the end of the year. This means an average of |5 a month, perhaps, or about what would care for a building and loan share whioh would be drawing Interest for the teacher. The rule is said to have been made necessary by the withdrawal of teachers from duty before the end of the school year. "They" have started a story over at

Indianapolis that our "four cornered track" is sh of being a mile from wire to wire. 1 he News says that horsemen have been discussing a rumor to that effect ever since Robert J. made the mile in 2:01 M. "Many horsemen claimed that the baek stretch bad been widened on the inside, thereby adding 5M feet at each of the back stretch turns and mak« ing the mile itself 11 feet short," says the News. "It is only just to Terre Haute to say that the report is without authentication," the newspaper adds. It is only Just to say that there is not the least foundation for the report. The truth is that the chief reason why it is the fastest track in the world is because it is taken care of weeks and weeks when other tracks are neglected.

A Mr. Keenan who was here this week told me that he thought the Operative management of the street railway com pany was first-class, and his opinion is valuable because he is in the business of building electric railways. He said that he had ridden over the lines and observed that the connections were well made, the speed was regular and that the employes were keyed up to a proper discipline. Mr. Keenan lived in this city before the war, for whioh he enlisted here. After the war he settled in Phlta delphia where he now resides, a millionaire. At present he has the contract for building twenty miles of eleotric railway In Hartford, Conn., and has just completed a contract for thirty miles in Meriden, Conn. Last year he visited this city and has now made another visit, accompanied by Mrs. Keenan and his aunt, the latter of whom had visited his people here in 1858.

Man About Town at the time com men ted on the failure to get witnesses in the Fontanet wreck case before the coroner. The facts In the case were generally known at Fontanet the day following the wreck and the coroner gave the sheriff subpoenas for witnesses most of whom have since been before the grand jury, but for some unaccount able reason the witnesses were not pro duced for several days. In the mean time they got their heads together, and agreed to be ignorant of all that had occurred. In the meantime the sleuths were preparing to railroad Ed. Holloway to penitentiary. It was then that Man About Town remarked that this could be done were not public attention called to the fact of Its being done. Now, the grand Jury has succeeded In getting the real criminals, four of whom have confessed, and Ed. Holloway is set free.

The Rev. Dr. Crum was a busy man Wednesday evening. As soon as the Foster-Perry ceremony was over be harried out of the church through the rear entrance and took a carriage for 9023 north Seventh street, where he was due to perform the ceremony for Miss Katharine Wetland Mr. Wm. R. Teel. As they say in the rolling mills, Dr. Crum was working double turn.

Acoording to a report in one of the daily papers of the Hamiil Inoident In the Circuit court Wednesday, the lawyer apologised to bis honor for what he was restrained from saying*

It Is to be hoped that any who may "take their death oold" In the revival tent will first have had their souls saved.

and wires are the largest, and eight wires have been strung. I had heard that the company looked forward to doing telegraph as well as telephone business, and asked Mr. Vail, the general agent, about it. He affected surprise and said that he oould not imagine where I had heard it, which, of oourse, waa a diplomatic avoidance. I finally got from him the information that the oompany had Rome extra wires, and might lease them for telegraphic use. There is a big projeot in this long distance telephone that is not yet disclosed to the public.

Said a lawyer, speaking of the Sam Hamlll contempt case:

uIt

It ooeta a cent a mile to talk for five minutes over the long distanoe telephone. The rate from here to New York is f».

Allen Harry tfonham, as usual, appeared at the judge's right hand when his honor got into trouble this week

Several candidates for county offices were at the long distanoe telephone exhibition the other day. They wanted to learn if they could hear the result of an election as far off as that Tuesday in November. ______

I had occasion, this week, to make inquiry as to the outlook for the fall and winter of the local Industrial and commercial interests. My information is that there will be no more, if as much, employment for wage earners than last year. The larger manufactories will not employ more men than last year and there will not be as much employment for common labor as there was then, when the new distillery and the Havens, Geddes &Co. building were in the oourse of construction. The one hopeful feature of the situation is in the exceptionally good crops in this part of the Wabash Valley. The farmers will have more money and the retail merchants will fare the better thereby. There Is, at present, slack work In the"coal mines, but If the railroad company and the operators reach an agreement this industry will soon help put money in circulation.

The block coal operators, or. at least those of them who have 80 percent, of the output, have finally come to an agreement with the Chicago fe Eastern Illinois people. The operators have been complaining that the road's freight rate of $1.10 to Chicago has caused them to lose much of their trade. By the new agreement the operators and the railroad company will divide equally the profit on all sales. The operator fixes a cost price on the oar at the mine and the company fixes a cost freight rate which is considerably less than $1.10. The two make the cost price in Chicago, and the amount received in exoess of that is to be divided. The block coal mining industry has been very dull lately during the negotiations. The miners have not had two days work a week. It is expected that soon, especially with oold weather, there will be much more em ployment for the men.

T. W. Klnser, the well-known contractor, is preparing to erect a building for a livery stable at Ninth and Ohio streets. The building is to have a pressed brick front, three stories high, and will have all the modern conveniences, including steam heat, hydraulic elevator, etc.

The 1st regiment, Indiana Legion, of whioh Col. J. W. Ebel, of this city, Is commander, now sports a new stand of oolors, consisting of the blue state flag, and an United States flag, both of the finest silk. They are on exhibition at Schluer Foulkes' where they atttact much attention.
