NEWS OF THE CITY.

The public schools will open a week from next Monday, September 9th.

The Odd Fellows' excursion to Momence on Thursday carried 1,800 people out of this city to that beautiful resort. The day passed without an accident of any kind.

The Rosedale, a steamer owned by the Hudnuts, and used in handling corn on the lower Wabash, was sunk near Sbawneetown, 111., last Sunday morning as a result of striking a snag. She was valued at |6,000, exclusive of her cargo of corn.

The property owners in the vicinity of Montrose are anxious to have the street cars extended to their prosperous sub orb, and held a meeting Monday night and appointed a committee to wait on President Harrison and request him to make the desired extension.

Mrs. Amelia Gloyd, widow or the late E. E. Gloyd, died Thursday afternoon at her home on north Center street. Her son, Waller Gloyd, is lying at the point of death with typhoid fever, and on this account no funeral services were held st the house. The remains were taken to her former home in Efliugham this morning for interment.

Tfco tirst remonstrance tiled in this county against granting a liquor license under the provisions of the Nicholson bill, was placed on record Wednesday, when some 280 voters of Honey Creek township remonstrated

Hgninst

the

granting of a license to Charles Bull, who runs, a faloon within two and a half miles of Youngstown. There are but voters tn the precinct in which the saloon is situated, and it is thought that the commissioners will refuse to grant the license.

William Schluer, of Schluer & Foulkes, is an Inventor of some note, a fact that is general known by his Terre Haute friends. He has patented a number of devices, by which he has realized handsomely, and in fact made his start in business on money realized on one of bis patents. He received a patent this week on an improved bicycle that is likely to make him a great deal of money. It is a bicycle that by a series of mechanical ohanges can be made Into a tandem. The advantages of such a wheel are so numerous that It in likely that he will be deluged with offers from the biggest bioycle companies for the privilege of manufacturing under his patent. ___________________

Mrs. Katharine Probst, wife of Christian Probst, died Wednesday night at the family residence at Sixteenth and Spruce streets, at the age of seventy years. Deceased was a native of Bavaria, Germany, where she was married to Mr. Probst hefore coming to this country in 1854. They came to this city in 1862, and Mr. Probst was for many years principal of the German department in the public schools. He with seven children survives her. They are J. Fred Probst, the well known furniture dealer, George and Godwin, Mrs. Herman Siebenmorgan and Miss Lily Probst, of this city, Sigbert, of Marlon, Ohio, and Mr*. Anna Sschokke, of Palo Alto, Cfel. Two brothers of the deceased, Louis and Cferl Seibold, live respectively In Middletown and Dayton, Ohio, and a sister, Mrs. Baring, lives in Aurora, Ind.

John Hanley & Co.,the awning manufacturers, of Third and Mulberry streets, made an assignment this morning to Klmer F. Williams. The assets of the company, it is supposed, will amount to 140,000, with liabilities of about f28,000. In the assignment preferences are made in favor of the First National bank, the National State bank, and a number of eastern creditors. The Hanley company has three plants, located here, in Indianapolis, and in Louisville. The sale of the Louisville plsnt ws* under consideration during the past week, and it is •aid had that sale been consummated the assignment would have been unnecessary. The whole trouble in the matter has been that an eastern company has pressed a claim against the company that it was unable to meet at the present time, and rather than see the eastern company get the beet of

COMING IN RAPIDLY:

other creditors the aaaignment was made. There is general sympathy expressed for Mr. Hanley, the head of the company, who has built up a good business here and who, but for a number of importunate creditors, would have been enabled to pull through all right.

THE GREAT FAIR.

'"J*

Thl» Tear1* Exhibition to KolJpse all Frovlowii Kflfarte of the Agricultural

From all indications the annual fair of the Vigo Agricultural society, whioh oocura week after next is to be the most sucoessful that the society has ever held. At this early date many of the stock quarters have been taken, and it is a question whether there will be accommodations for all the applicants for space. In faot, the applications for space for the sheep and hog exhibits are already enough to test the capacity of the quartern assigned this portion of the big exhibition. The exhibit in Fine Art hall also gives promise of exoeeding all previous exhibitions. This week Secretary Duncan reoelved some thirty or forty entries in the women's department from Delaware, Ohio, and a number of entries are also promised from Indianapolis, to say nothing of the exhibits that are to be made by the enterprising women and girls of this county. The fine art hall is to be in the charge of W. H. Albrecht this year, and this is a guarantee that it will surpass in appearand that of any previous exhibition. An experienced decorator will be employed, and the decoration of the hall itself will be an attraction, to say nothing of the exhibits of various specimens of the bandiwork of the ladies that will be shown there. Some special features will also be ofFered that are sure to attract attention. C. C. Smith's Sons Co. will give a Studebaker wagon as a premium, and every purchaser of an admission ticket will be given a ticket in the centest. Willis Wright, the wide-awake furniture dealer, will give a |65 bed room set to the person guessing nearest to the number of actual paid admissions on Friday of the fair, and Wood, Williams & Co., the enterprising furniture dealers of south Fourth street, will give a §35 range to the person guessing the nearest to the actual number of paid admissions during the entire week. The following is the programme for the week:

BASK BALL

The Terre Haute club is playing its last league game at the park this afternoon w.ith Minneapolis, and to night will depart for Milwaukee, winding up the season away from home. The club will probably return for a series of games with Evansvllle. If this arrangement is completed we may expect to see the largest crowds gathered at the park that ever witnessed a base ball game in this city, and it may be confidently expected that we will wipe up the earth with the Lamasco team. Toe local team goes away from home in seventh place, the standing of the clubs to date being given below:

HARRISON PARK.

President Harrison ha* certainly arranged an enjoyable programme for the patrons of Harrison Park next week. The features include the popular cornet duetists, A. H. Knoll and Marie McNeil, Sohafler A Hall, the funny musical artists who grow more popular with •very appearance, Charles and Alice Clark, the Irish sketch artists, the last named also appearing in a series of serlo comic sketches, and Will S. Bonnet!,.the famous tenor, formerly with Cleveland's minstrels. The programme given at this popular resort is really as good a* those given by first-class vaudeville companies, and the attendance shows that the entertainment Is greatly appreciated by the patrons. President Harrison has generously donated the services of his performers to the Central Labor Union, and they will appear in the programme at the exercises at the fair grounds on Labor Day. The Central Labor Union at its last meeting adapted a series of resolutions thanking President Harrison for his efforts to furnish entertainment to the people, and commending him as a true friend of organised labor.

THIS WILL 8URPRISE YOU.

Gas to be Sold Cheaper Here Than In Any City In the Country. The Terre Haute Gas Ltght Company hereby notifies the oonsumers of gas of an increase in gas rates after the August registration.

The company realises the faot that gas has been soid in Terre Haute at a very low figure, and in deferenoe to thia and to the desire to furnish gas in reach of ail for all purposes the scale adopted is the lowest 6f any company in the United States, and is as follows:

All

billB

will be made out at 91.00 per

thousand feet, but on all bills paid at the offioe of the company by the 10th of each month disoounts will be allowed of: 10c per 1,000 feet on the bills under 1,500 feet per month, or 90o net 15c per 1,000 feet on bills between 1,500 and 3,000 feet per month, or 85c net 20c per 1,000 feet on blUs between 8,000 and 5,000 feet per menth. or .... 80c net 25c per 1,000 feet on bills of 5,000 feet or over a month, or 75c net

It may be said that the gas business is muoh like any other business and the same business principles must be employed as in any other manufacturing enterprise. It is felt that the oonsumers and oltiEens of Terre Haute will appreciate this faot and neither expeot nor desire the gas oompany to give them anything fer nothing or at a loss.

It Is a well known fact that when companies or individuals are not making or are losing money that they will economize in every possible direotion, out off labor, reduce wages and render Inefficient service. On the other hand, when a oompany or an individual is fairly prosperous they will be more liberal and be a practical and positive benefit to any community. This the Terre Haute Gas Light Company will endeavor to be.

The prices adopted will, no doubt, be satisfactory to the consumer, as the amount of money paid for gas in a year is relatively small. From an examination of the records of the oompany it is found that not more than 5 per oent of the whole number of oonsumers have paid bills averaging $5.00 per month or more. Also from the records and estimating gas at 90 cents per 1,000 feet, the average daily oost of gas to more than half of the whole number of consumers will amount to but 4X cents per day, which is less than the oost of an ordinary cigar or a single street oar fare. It is doubtful if any other household expenditure is so light or brings such a return. Gas is always ready for use, night or dAy, can be used for illumination or for fuel, is valuable in the sick room and its use is attended with no danger of explosion.

It is the experience in all business that the customers are apt to remember only the largest bills paid. Suoh is the esse with gas consumers, it being very natural to forget that small bills are paid in the warm months of the year. When expenditure of money is made lti small sums at a time, 5 or 10 cents a day, very few count up the total at the end of the month. What person knows the aggregate paid a month for car fare, which often amounts to quite a sum, but Is willingly and well spent?

There are very few people in Terre Haute who cannot afford to spend for gas even more than 5 or 10 cents a day, but all desiring to eoonomize are invited to use Welsbach Lights. Burning but 3 feet an hour, half as much as an ordinary jet, is equivalent to reducing gas one-half In price, or from 90 cents to 45 oents per 1,000 feet, giving at the same time 60-candle power, or three times ss much light, is equivalent to gas at 15 cents per thousand feet. In other words, one Welabach light using three feet of gas gives as muoh light ss eighteen feet of gas burned ordinarily. The Wels back lights oan be seen and are for sale at the office of the company. It is the purpose of the comjytny to supply the best gas that can be made and to render satisfactory service to all oonsumers and asks to be informed of an Inadequacy of supply or service. Burners and lava tips will be furnished free upon application. Respectfully,

The Terre Haute Gas Light Co. August 28, 1895.

Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. 28,1895. The above notice also applies to the oonsumers on the Citizens' Gas and Fuel Co. lines. Respectfully,

N. DIALL, Agent,

A word to tnoHe who have heretofore used gas either for principal or auxiliary beating The gas company, with the more modern methods for manufacturing gas that will be employed, asserui positively that with its improved methods of manufacturing gas there will be a decided economy as to the better quality and quantity used, and to those using gas stoves for heating purposes it may be said that with the improved methods and quality it is likely that the cost of operating these stoves will be little if any more than in the past.

It is, therefore, urged that those who have been users of gas for cooking and general beating purposes make careful test as to the economy of gas rather than make reckless disposal of gas stoves be fore determining this important question to their own satisfaction.
