The New Goshen lodge of Odd Fellows has increased Its reward for the capture of the murderers of the late Chaunoey Pickerell to $100, although it seems to be tbe opinion of tbe police officers who have investigated tbe case that Pickerell committed suicide. The police have practically abandoned tbe case, so far as the hunt for the murderers is concerned.

John Kersinger, ohief engineer at tbe Ellsworth paper mill, bad his life crushed out Tuesday afternoon by a huge staok of straw board falling on him. He was a prominent member &f the Odd Fellows, and a committee escorted his remains to his former home, Marlon, Ind., where thay were buried on Thursday. He leaves a wife but no children.

Albert Monnlnger, hns decided to do his part in improving the business quarter on ea»t Main street, and will erect a handsome three story business block on the property recently purchased from Mrs. Mallnda Martin, at 1134 east Main street He is also figuring on the erection of a handsome hotel on the site of his present location, opposite tbe Big Four depot, on Tippecanoe street.

The Guarantee Oil A Gas Company is to be re-organieed, In order that those who are interested may prosecute the search for oil, which is believed to be under Terre Haute in paying quantities. Tbe re-organisation of the company is oaused by the dee ire of several estates, notably those of the late Josephus Collett and Ftrmin Nlppert, to get out of tbe companies tbe money that has been invested.

The death trap at Tenth and Poplar was the scene of another tragedy Thursday night, when Michael Conners, an E.

T. H. switchman, was caught by a switching train and literally dragged to death. Two fellow employes were witnesses of the horrible speotacle but did not see the man's predicament in time to save his life. Conners was a married man, and his wife and two Uttle children live at 1104 Poplar surest.

Cbas. 8. F. Early, who has made a very •efficient first assistant of tbe pieeeotcity engineer, resigned at the meeting of the city counoil Tuesday night, giving as a reason the discord at present existing in that office, "on account of the unbus-iness-like method in which the office is

conducted and the inefficiency of tbe bead of tbe department." Mr. Early has accepted a position as assistant superintendent of construction of tbe new distillery, wbioh It is understood, pays him a much better salary. The counoil committee on streets and alleys, it is said, will recommend the appointment of W. Robert Paige to the position of first assibtant, leaving a position to be filled by the council at Its next meeting.

The long-standing trouble between the county •com missioners and the executors of the late township trustee, F. F. Peker and his suocessor, Charles Peker, was settled this week by compromise. Ihe total amount disallowed in the aooounts of the deceased was |5,745.95. His successor agreed to replace in the township fund 93,990.70,1491.30 in the road fund, and |37 in tbe speoial fund, and the oom missioners agreed to allow the balance of the amount in dispute, f1,245.95.

The Wabash river is at a lower stage than ever before known at this time of the year, when as a rule the June freshet brings it up to a high point. The water workti gauge shows but twelve inches of w»t£r in the channel Fortunately we are, hot in the position *f many of tbetaVge cities, where'water consumers on account of the low water in tbe streams from which the water supply is derived, are forbidden to use their street sprinklers. Should the river "go dry" tbe water works people have a supply of 600,000,000 gallons from which they will be able to meet all demands made on them.-

Thomas W. Adams, of Nevins township, who is tbe only Republican mem ber of tbe county commissioners' board, refused to approve the bond of Harvey W. Curry, who wa* recently elected by tbe Democratic trustees without the assistance of tbe auditor, (whois supposed to be the clerk of the board,) to succeed btmselfas county superintendent for a term of two years. Mr. Adams, in common with Republicans generally, claims that the election was illegal, and al though he refused to sign or approve tbe bond, the Democratic members, Messrs. Cox and Ladd, approved it, and It was placed on record.

Tbe directors of tbe Terre Haute Trust Company have elected the following offloers for tbe ensuing year: President, I. H. C. Royse vice president, M. S. Durham secretary, Charles Whitoomb assistant secretary, A. G. Cumin ings executive committee, D. W,. Minsball,.John Cook, W. W. Parsons, I. H. C. Royse and M. S, Durham. C. W. Maucourt has sold bis interest in tbe company to W. R. McKeen and Judge Jump, and Mr. McKeen has been elected a director of tbe company to succeed Mr. Mancourt. The report of tbe trust oompany shows that it has been very successful during tbe year of its organ! ziition, and the increasing demand for an incorporated company to act as administrator and trustee makes its ultimate success assured.

The Wtnton is a winner.

A TRIBUTE lO IHE LATE W. 8TKWAMT. At the council meeting Tuesday evening, Dr. S. J, Young offered the following resolutions to tbe memory of the late W. H, Stewart, who was mayor in 1861 63i

At bis home on south 3eventh street—after along And paint al sick nest, on the afternoon of June l«b, in his 78th year, our highly esteemed fellow citizen, Mr. WUIIam H. Htewart nagged to bis reward.

Witb the death of this brave, honest, good man comes sacred memories of the known only to tbe very lew who, like himself, bad outlived kindred and companions, who with equal chances, started with him attain along life of usefulness, but who, one by one fell uy the wayside and left htm to finish the course-alone.

Briefly, the record shows that he was Tiorn

in Louisville, Ky., August 20, Ulltt, «nd that with the family became to PftTk County, In? dlana,in 1809, and a few years after to this city, in which and its vicinity he spent bis life.

On September28,1845, he was united in marriage to Julia, daughter of ihe late John F. Klug, a highly respected and pr lue»t citizen of this place. Mrs. Stewart uevaully deceased) was noted for her amiability and excellence as a christian wife and mother. From this inconsolable loss the subject of this sketch never recovered.

Wm. H. SUwart, or as he was familiarly called, BUI Htewart,wasof the stuff that men are made of. His father was a Scotchman of sturdy mould: taU mother, from tbe north and west of Irel&pd, gave to him those qualities of strength and manhood: these joined to personal magnetism made him successful and popular.

Few men possessed more of the natural graces of head and heart, and by reason of such he shared the unbounded respect of his fellow men, both In private and public lire. In seeking and holding the latter he had the support and confidence of those arrayed both for and against him politically.

He appeared to best advantage in positions where great courage and kindness were demanded. In the discharge of his dulie&an sheriff of this oounty from 1858 to 1862, a position where these qualities were in daily demand, he left an enviable and unblemished record.

Of late years his many friends, for obvious reasons, had given him the title of colonel, a title so grandly won and worn by his brothers, James and Robert, was not like theirs, won on fields of battle.

On Nov. 9th, 1880, the Hon. C. Y. Patterson, then mayor of the city, resigned to assume tbe duties of judge of the Vigo county court of common pleas, and on the 19th of the same month, Mr. Stewart was elected to fiU tbe unexpired term. In May following he was re-elected for and served a full term of two years. ..

How well and faithfully he metImd discharged the varied duties of this dignified and responsible office, those who served w,ith him can testify. Certain it Is, such a nature could only govern with a firm and gentle hand.

On Sunday afternoon, June 16, be was tenderly laid to rest beside the mouldering dust of those near and dear to him. A large and imposing cortege reverently followed nlrti to his resting plaoe. 1 hjHa
