thanks to Russell B. Harrison on acoount of the business be has made for the legal profession since he became a resident.of this city. What with his street railway and electric light business, he has made lots of work for the attorneys, and it is a class of work, too, that makes big fees for those engaged.

Secretary Ellis, of the old company, hasn't had much experience in the interview line, but be#is an artist, all the same. His interview in the daily papers this week made a great Impression. He said what he had to say so nCatly and so much to the point that it presented the matters referred to in a light that had not before been considered. The publication referred to didn't lose any friends for the old company.

There wouldn't have been much sympathy for the Letter man if "Hen" Baker hadn't undertaken the job of "doing" him. There was no earthly excnso for Baker attacking Calp, the editor, who is a Normal school student, and still less for hlin attacking the printer whom he found in the office. There are two sides to the story of the fight, but in neither of them does V. find any particular credit for B»ker, who is said to be superintendent of the club, The attack simply served to create sympathy for the Letter and its people, and distracted attention from the fact that it had made a mistake.

Have you noticed hovtr indignant members of the Athletic club become when you refer to "the fight." In their bright lexicon there is no such word as "fight." "Sparring exhibition" is the proper term.

The Slaughter faction, so-called, have given up all efforts to assist in the reorganization of Company B, and are now working up interest in an independent military company, which is intended to be made a social organization as well. It is the Intentiop, if the organisation is perfected, to have a nobby dress uniform, and it is not proposed to enter the state laUda. The promoters of the matter seem think that guns can be secured by purchase. It is said that a very prominent business man and capitalist bas expressed a willingness to purchase uniforms and gnn# for the company in return for the privilege of naming it. ___

The grand jury report on the court house and jail shows that something ought to be done with reference to those institutions, especially the jail. Vigo county certainly can afford to furnish sufficient bedding to keep jail iumates mother, warm, and as this comes under the duties of the commissioners it should receive proper attention. It is said that the jail is not as secure as it should be, and that the recent escape of prisoners would never have taken place if the proper attention had been given to the needed repittas. "The Letter" is a prohibition paper that has been devoting a great deal of attention recently to sensational matter concerning the police force, the saloons and the "rum controlled press," as it .vas pleased to term it. The press paid no attention to its direct attacks, but that seemed to add to the choler of the Letter editor, and he went to work counting the number of lines e*ch paper printed "for saloons." Last week the Letter editor rendered himself liable for criminal libel by printing, in a manner in tended to hold him up to contempt and ridicule, the name of a Main street business man as being one of the spectators at the "sparring exhibition" of the Athletic club, when in fact he was miles and miles away at that time. The gentleman's name was printed in black type, and gave his business location. It was not au ordinary newspaper error, but a clear case of criminal libel, for which the publisher could have been sent to jail. The gentleman, however, didn't care to make any trouble for the Letter man, and the latter still breathes the air of freedom. Which goes to sbow that obarity is sometimes found outside the olrcleof those who make the greatest professions of goodness.

OBITUARY.

MRS. M. B. FITOH.

Mrs. Maxwell B. Fitch died at her home in Mattoon, III., last Saturday, and the remains were brought to this oity for interment, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. J. H. Crum, assisted by Rev. J. D. Stanley on Mon day from the residence of Capt. A. B. Fitch, on south Sixth street.

The death of Mrs. Filch was rendered peculiarly pathetic by the toot that she leaves two ohiidren, one a babe of but a few days, and .the other but sixteen months old The deceased was born October 22, 1869, aud was a daughter of Mr. and Mm. Simeon Wolfe, wellknown to our older citizens as former prominent members of Terre Haute so oiety. Mrs. Wolfe was a daughter of 0en. John JScott, one of the leading citizens jf earlier days. Mrs. Wolfe died in 8S3, her husband at au earlier date. After .the death of Mrs. Wolfe her daughters'made their home with their aunt, Mrs. C. Jfj. £raman, and it was on the first day of" Sept., 1892. that Hiss May tne Wolfe and Maxwell 8. Fitch were married. For some time Mr. Fitoh was connected th the city en^ glneer's force, but a year or ho ago he came city engineer of Mattoon, they had.fibee resided.

M^UKICE TAYLOR.

Maurice g^lfi^tbe unusually bilgbt little son oflF|rage and Mrs. D. N. Taylor, died yesterday, after a brief illness^ with diphtheria. Another son, Wiley, b&d been sick with the same disease, and Maurice ?was sent away to escape it. After Wiley recovered the house was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, and the utmost* care was taken to deeftoy every germ of the awl^t'disease. But it seemed in vim.. The. little fellow was taken siok l.ast week, and on Tuesday the disease was pronounced diphtheria. He struggled manfully with it{ but ikially had to aurrande*,.J.,JHeJ3v.a8se^en years oxavana he numbered friends by the score. Many a little heart will be sad to-day when its owner reads that Maurice Taylor is dead. The funeral took place this afternoon from tbe family, ^residence, 419 south Fourth street.

THE LOSS OF THE CHICORA. The loss of the Chlcora of tbe Graham & Morton line was of local interest here because many Terre Haute people had seen the vessel. She had been in the Milw mkee trAdeand most of the freight brou^ it to St. Joe was for the Vandalia line. The thirty ftvecarsof flour which wera part of her cargo when she went down was to have been delivered to the VandaUa. When she left Milwaukee early Monday morning the weather was miid and the supposition is that she was far over on the Michigan side of the lake before she was struck by the storm of th«*t day. The Chioora was one of the staunohest boats on the lake and there is no doubt that she encountered great masses of ice that would have crushed any vessel. The thirty-eight persons abroad the Chtcora are supposed to have gone down with her. The money loss will be about $200,000.

There is a distinct upper class among the colored population of Washington, entranoe into which is as difficult as to|^ New York's "four hundred." It is oom-*$ posed of men and women of high edu-^'i cation and considerable wealth, although^ wealth is not a requisite to admission&f into the exoluslve circle. There are lawyers, physicians, architects, ministers, teachers and members of nearly every profession represented. For the most part they attend on« of two ohurches, where fashion governs religion as it does in the swell white con^ gregatlons of the oity. They have highpriced preachers, well-paid choirs, finelyequipped buildings, and altogether are just as exolusive in their manner of worship as they are in their sooial oursuits. Tbe eduoated colored men and women are proud of their attainment# and are as averse to a mixing o'f the races as the whites themselves. It should be said, however, that the elite of the colored population are of mixed blood. There are few pure-blooded negroes among them.

The bituminous operators who met here Wednesday reported, that the market is Improving but that the price of coal is yet lower than it has ever been, perhaps. The price at the mine is much lower than the ten cents olfseoured in the pay of the miners. When the cold* weather came a few weeks ago there was a big surplus in the Chicago market which market governs the Indiana output. The increased demand has given the miners more work but the increased supply has about kept' the surplus as it was when the increase its the output began. Nothing was said. in the meeting, at least nothing that brought the question up for formal considetation, as to the wage schedule for the next soale year which begins the

first of May. The opftrators never do, take up this matter before the miners act on it. Along about the middle of March tbe men will begin to discuss the scale and soon afterward there will be a meeting of their representatives who will call on tbe operators for a conference, whioh means the beginning the annual struggle for an advantage^? It has come to be accepted as a fact that^ if a scale is agreed to without a great deal of pulling and hauling the men have got the worst of it and delegates who might agree early in the conference wonld be under suspicion of haying "sold out."
