ON THE QUI YIVE.

The primaries for the selection of candidates for council will be held week after next, and the air is rife with rumors of tho possibilities of the nomination of this man and that ou the different tickets. It was announced this week that the Populists will nominate candidates for council in each of the wards, and the possibility that there will be a contestrta the'SeVe^al' wards over the conncilmanic nominations will add an interest to the fight that will attract attention. It is reasonably sure that tho Republicans, will control the next council, as they h/ivfe the present, but the city is close, and with any kind of a kick In the sure Republican wards it is possible that the control of that body may be vested with the Democrats. Of the retiring members of the council Ave are Democrats and five are Republicans, while of the holdovers but two are Democrats, Seeburger and Liehr, while eight are Republicans. It will therefore be necessary for the Democrats, if they expect to control the council, iu elect nine of their candidates this spring, which is not at all probable while the Republicans to continue in control will have to elect but two members. Four of the ten wards are, under ordinary circumstances, looked upon as reliably Democratic, the First, Third, Sixth and Ninth, although two of these wards at the last, election returned Republican members, the Sixth and the Ninth. Of course, the Democrats do not expect to elect enough councilmen this spring to give them control of the municipal body, but they will not lay down their hands on this account—that is not one of the characteristics of the party. They make their fight just the same whether there is any chance of electing their candidates or not. It is an admirable characteristic, too, and might well be, emulated by the other parties. But, as said before, it is reasonably certain that the Republicans will continue in control of the coun1*0r the next two years. Quite a nnm yuames are mentioned in connection

irst ward, for Instance, It is said /»ry C. Urban will be the Demo^candidate, and it is almost as equally Ve that if nominated he will be elected, he First ward is about as surely Democratic as the Fourth ward is Republican— more surely is it Democratic, in fact, for the Fourth ward Republicans have been known to elect Democratic candidates— that is, when they were in the old Second ward—but the first ward Democrat* have never been known to elect a Republican. There Is some talk of opposition to Mr. Urban, but it is not likely to materialise. •John X. White, an employe of the Clift &

Villiam* Co., and a splendid man person^ally, is talked of as a candidate, but he has not yet made up his mind to be a candidate. For the Republicans there is a long list of candidates, but none of them are' very anxious to make the race in a reason ably sure Democratic ward. Among those whose name* have been used in this connection are James K. Allen, Dr. C. M. Smick, and August From me, the contractor. Neither of them has shied his castor into the ring as jet. and It is almost sure chat whoever is the Republican candidate will have the honor thrust upon him. and will not get it from his own seeking.

In the Second ward, it is different. Ko Vmocrat who has any i4e* of election is fter the nomination in this ward. He is not at ail likely to win at the polls, and he Is not looking for glory In contesting the lection In a ward that is two or three hundred Republican. Capt. James W.

tion with the nomination. Wm. H. Berry, who served the county well as a member of the legislature, is being urged by his friends to take the nomination, but he has not yet decided to do so. Adam Tressel, Ellsworth Lawrence, and E. M. Vaughan are also being talked of as possible candidates. The colored voters in the Second ward are also talking of insisting on a member of their race being recognized in the conncilmanic nomination, and a number of their jjartjr, of the opposite color are suspected ofoeing in with the play. W. G. Jackson and Matt Clingman are the names of members of that race who are likely to be placed in nomination for the office, and both of them are well known colored men. Either of them would make a good councilman if elected. The colored voters are numerous in the Second ward, and if they can unite on a candidate they are likely to make their influence felt, especially if they get the assistance from a number of other Republicans that has been promised them. Chas. Fox, David Lesseig and Wm. Retz are spoken of in connection with the Democratic nomination.

The Third ward is just as surely Democratic as the First, more reliably, in fact, for its majority is larger, and the Democrats can lose more Democratic votes and still win. J08. J. Roach is the retiring Democratic member from that ward, and will be a candidate for re-election. Constable Frank Morrison is also mentioned in connection with the nomination, but Roach will in all probability be the candidate. It requires a good deal of nerve for a Republican to make the race for councilman in that ward, but the Republicans there, although in a woeful minority, never give up, and fight their friends the enemy all down the line. Wm. McKamey, who runs the elevator at the court house, will in all probability be the Republican candidate, and as he is well known will probably poll more than his party strength, A. Herman, the carriage manufacturer, and Dr. J. T. Laughead are also mentioned in connection with the race, although neither of them has as yet signified his willingness to make it.

In Che Fourth ward it is understood ehat "Andy" Crawford will not be a candidate for re-nomination, although if he wants a place on the ticket it is likely he could get it. "Andy" is !no Sltruch when it comes to getting there, and although there might be some opposition in his party, the staid old fellows who have known him so long have perfect confidence in his business qualifications, and if he wanted the nomination again they would turn out and give it to him. The Fourth is a peculiar ward, as was its predecessor, the Second. You could never count your chickens in the old Second until they were fully hatched, and while it is perhaps not as true of the ward as at present constituted, it is well enough to know something about it before yon bet any money on it. There area lot of good names mentioned along with the nomination in this ward on the Republican side, among them being Lee Goodman, Al. West, Harry Traquair and Lucius Ly brand. It is conceded that the Republican who is nominated will have to beat Harry Schloss if he expects to win. Mr. Schloes made an exceedingly creditable race against big odds two years ago, and it is likely that he will be re-nominated without opposition.

Frank Wey will in all probability be the Democratic candidate in the Fifth wartL He is one of the kind able to whoop 'em up if it becomes necessary, and it has been necessary number of times since his election to the office. It is hanl to tell who his Republican opponent will be. Among thorn mentioned as possible candidates are John J. Thomas, who was once a councilman from the oh) Third ward, Chas. W. Abbott, Homer L. Stem, and Rod Maswire.

There ahonlaa mnrh nK«^ nwHnffHj for a Republican tn the Sixth ward as

I'" SJ X-

there is for ice in the warm pface. Henry Schonefeld was elected there two years ago, but he was more than ordinarily popular or it would never have occurred. Pat Walsh, who retires this spring, has announced that he will not be a candidate again, and there is some question as to who will succeed him. August Wegner may succeed in capturing the nomination, while Joe Price, the north Fourth street butcher, will be the Republican candidate.

Major A. B.«Mewhinney, who is a member of Governor Matthews' staff, will in all probability be the Democratic nominee in the Seventh ward, where they slaughter Democratic candidates as regularly as they are placed in nomination. There is along list of possible Republican candidates in this ward, among them being S. S. Early, Chas. M. Daggett, Lawrence Burget, and Dr. H. C. Medcraft.

In the Eighth ward S. L. Fenner, the present efficient member of the council, has announced that he will not be a candidate re-election. W. E. Young, Geo. Probst, Robt. Andrew, J. W. Ebel, Ben. Knisely, and Frank M. Clift are talked of as his possible successor on the ticket. On the Democratic side Frank F. Schmidt, who has had an extended experience, and who would make a good councilman, has been offered the Democratic nomination. He declined it, however, and the Democrats have about agreed to make Gus Lyons their candidate.

In the Ninth ward Nelson Hollis will probably be the Republican candidate. Mr. Hollis was elected in this almost impregnable Democratic ward in the spring of 1894, by rt plurality of 118, and as he has made-a good councilman, he is likely to be equally as strong in the coming election. Jabez A. Asbury is also said to be candidate for the Republican nomination. For the Democratic nomination the names of Thos. Dailey, Mike Vallier, and Thos. Casey are mentioned. There is also a movement on foot to nominate John Hirt, who as a councilman from the old Fifth ward, was one of the best members of that body the city ever had.

Everett Messick will, in all probability, be the Democratic candidate in the Tenth ward. He is the retiring memberfrom the ward, and can doubtless have denomination if he desires it. There is a whole raft of Republican candidates. Not all of them are candidates, but their names are used by their friends, and as they are all good men they are entitled, to honorable mention. They are JohlF J. Kenley, "Fred Kanzleiter, James F. Murphy, John. G. Zeigler and Richard Walker. With such an array as this it seems easy for the Tenth ward Republicans to get a gdfbd candidate.

One of these fine days there will life' Organized by the property owners who are trying to maintain lawns, a vigilance committee to wreak vengeance on the peddlers and small boys who distribute bills in the residence quarter, for their utter disregard of the rights of such property owners. These peddlers and small boys tramp over the front lawns as if there were no sidewalks and it isn't long until there are paths worn in every front yard. Protests seem to do no good, and the man or woman who has the temerity to criticise such conduct is likely to meet with what is more forcibly than elegantly termed the "horse laugh." Some day an indignant citizen will load a shot gun with bird shot and fill the hide of some lawn destroyer so full of lead that the fellow will not be able to pick it all out before Christmas. Then, perhaps, this will be taken as a warning by some of the men who think their vested rights are being interfered with by the property owner who objects to having his property thus injured.

Mique O'Brein, who is now connected with the Cincinnati Tribune, is gaining celebrity with a hop, skip and jump. His latest elevation toward fame's highest niche is to have a topical song dedicated to him. His threat to sing it publicly is said to have created more excitement in Cincin nati than the Pearl Bryan murder, and there is talk of the police reserves being called out to suppress him.

The county commissioners have granted the petition of the projectors of the Terre Haute & Mississippi road for a special election, and have fixed on the same date as that of the city election, Tuesday, May 5th. The question to be decided is whether or not the people of this township will give in the neighborhood of (100,000 to the new road. With the interest that is being taken in local politics, the addition of this incentive is likely to make the city election this year show an unusually large vote.

The Terre Haute team is playing the Owensboro club, of the Kentucky state league, at the park this afternoon, and will play again with the same team tomorrow afternoon, game being called at three o'clock. The members of the home team met for the first time at Champaign, Ills., Tuesday, and played with the uni versity team of that city, being defeated in the first game by a score of 20 to 5. Thursday the college team beat the Terre Hautes by a score of IS to 11. It was the first time the players of the local club had played together, and they did as well as could be expected. Next week the Page Fence Giants, the most famous colored team in the country, will play the local club at the parte on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The report that Terre Haute would be in the new Interstate league proves to have been without foundation, and for the present the team will be conducted ae an independent organisation.

Fred Crbwder, the five year old son of Ch&s. F. Crowder, business manager of the Daily Tribune, died last Saturday afternoon, after a brief illness with the diphtheria. He was a bright little fellow, and his parents have general sympathy in the affliction that has befallen them.

Helen Kisner, a five year old child attending the kindergarten at the old Third wari school, was run over by a street car Wfc&Jttpday afternoon, receiving injuries that necessitated the amputation of her foot. She started to run in front of the car, and the motorman could not stop in time to prevent the uccident.

Schrader, the divine healer, so-called, who made such a miserable failure in this city recently, was ordered out of Cincinnati this week by the police authorities, for the reason that his filthy habits, instead of preventing disease rather fosters it. Schrader is a fakir of the worst kind, and his stay in Terre Haute should have been prohibited by the police.

Capt. Charley Power has given up the idea of starting a Populist paper here, but we are to have one just the same. A. M. Roop, of Logansport, editor of the Logansport Advance, and said to be a newspaper man of ability and experience, will issue the first number of anew Populist paper here next week, and will call it the Standard. He will have his office with the Tribune, where the typesetting and press work .will be done.

The Newport Hoosier State, which is one of the liveliest antPifaost interesting of the neighboring exchanges that come to The Mail, made its appearance this week, ae an eight page, six column paper, with anew dress of type. The announcement is made that Brent Davis, who has not been connected with the paper for two years past, has once more put on the harness and will assist his sons in the conduct of the business. When it comes to saying real, downright mean things about the Democrats there is nobody that can put a great deal in less words than Mr. Davis.

One of the most important manufacturing enterprises ever secured by Terre Haute capital is that of the Nash Manufacturing Co., of Dixon, 111., of which J. M. Brosius, of this city, has been superintendent. The company is engaged in the manufacture of the Brosius Sewing machine and Damascus bicycle, and the Terre Haute men who purchased the plant secured it at a bargain. Hie directors of the new organisation held a meeting in this city this week, and elected officers as follows: EL H. Bindley, president J. A. McDermott, secretary and treasurer, N. K. Elliott, general manager, and J. M. Brosius, superintendent of the machine shops. The plant will not be removed here for the present, owing to the fact that-it is the busy season of the year in the factory, and it would be throwing money away to dint down now for the purpose of removal. It has been the intention to secure the piano case factory for the location of the works, but there has been some hitch in the proceedings, and it is not at all sure at present that the building can

be secured. The enterp portant one for Terre Haute, and it is certain that when working at full capacity it will give employment to several hundred workmen. The wheel made by the Nash Co., the Damascus, is said to be fully equal in essential points to any of the high grade wheels nade, and it is the intention of the promoters of the new company to keep it up to the requirements of the best trade. The company will make the tandem wheel, patented by Wm. Schluer, of this city, which is likely to net a fortune for its inventor.

Georgia Burke, the colored woman, who killed Ide Miller in February last, was acquitted in the Circuit court this week of the charge of murder. Her defense was that the shooting was accidental, and the jury evidently believed her story, for after being out for nine hours a verdict of acquittal was returned. The woman broke down in thanking the jury and the court for the manner in which she was treated. She had no friends in court when the verdict was returned, at half past two Wednesday morning, and went to jail to spend the balance of the night. "k

Walter C. Schuman, for a long time manager of the Printers' Home at Colorado Springs, was replaced this week by C. A. Clark, of Omaha. Schuman was once a well known printer of this city, having been employed on the Gazette and Express. Several years ago he removed to Denver, and while there was appointed manager of the Child-Drexel Printers' Home, of which he had control since it was opened. Some time ago charges were preferred against him for some errors in management, but after a trial he was acquitted. Recently he resigned and although the officers of the International Typographical Union, who have control of the home, insisted on the withdrawal of his resignation he refused to do so.

Malachi Kinney, Jr., whose father, Kinney, is an employee of Henry Meyer, the wholesaler, with his wife has been visiting in the city this week, stopping at the Terre Haute House. Young Kinney who is 86 yeart old, is said to be worth a cool half million of dollars, made in fortunate mining investments in Colorado especially in the Cripple Creek district.

The Spanish Monster.

Gen. Valeriano Weyler, of the Spanish army, and the new Captain-General of Cuba, who is expected by the home government to put down the revolution at any cost, is said to be of Irish extraction, Though now sixty years old, he is remarkably energetic, and if the reports from Cuba are to be trusted, he is prosecuting the war with the greatest severity. He distinguished himself during the Carlist war, and again attracted attention during the Spanish war against the Moors in Africa. Once before General Weyler has served in Cuba. It was during the ten years' war, but he only remained two years, as he was recalled to Spain on account of charges oi extreme cruelty made against him. In the recent debate in the senate it was said that Gen. Weyler is a graduate of the Virginia Military Academy, although the truth of this statement has never been established.

How Awful She Will Look! If rumors from abroad are correct the fashionable woman of the spring of '88 will be wonderful to behold. For the past five years fashion has been sub^tcted to but few radical changes. This spring a revolution is to take place.

Here is a list of the new fashions which have already appeared in Paris. The hoopskirt.

Large bustles. Small tight-fitting sleeves. Hip pads in various sizes. High heels. Collars of enormous size. Hate worn well over the forehead. Marie Antoinette curls dangling from the back of the coiffure.

Such is the array of horrors which the fashionable woman must contemplate before planning her spring wardrobe.

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

THE marriage of ex-President Benjamin Harrison and Mrs. Mary Lord Dimmick will take place in New York on Monday.

Love for a man is a poor thing to talk about, but a good thing for a wife to take to town when spending her husband's money.

A Missouri preacher thinks it is wrong to take pay for preaching. This delicate question may be safely left to the judgment of those who have heard him preach.

Mrs. Dimmick, Gen. Harrison's brideelect, never wore, and steadfastly refuses to wear, shirt waists. She dislikes everything stiff, or mannish, or severe, and, though she dresses plainly and generally in dark colors, she always chooses soft things that cling to her in an affectionate way as if they were apart of herself, and had not been merely put on. She does not care much, either, about their being in the height of fashion as long as they are becoming.

An idea of how John D. Rockfeller's wealth increases may be gained from the knowledge that the dividends of the Standard oil trust, of which he is the official head, paid in three months the princely sum of $13,000,000 and in six months $30,000,000, most of which Mr. Rockfeller grasped. New Jersey itself consumes 500,000 barrels of oil, or 2,500,000 gallons a year. The trust charges on an average 10 cents a gallon, and ex-Senator Emory, of Pennsylvania, has figured out that this amount is three cents on the gallon above the legitimate price, making the state pay $750,000 & year as tribute to the trust.

In a quiet little convent of the sisters of St. Joseph at Rutland, Vt., lives a woman who doubtless passes many an hour thinking over her past eventful life. It is Vic toria Morosini-Schilling, the daughter of a rich banker, who entered the great world of life and passion at 16 years of age by eloping with a coachman. Her coach-driv-ing husband could not furnish money enough to satisfy her way of living, so she left him to go on the Casino stage as a dancing girl. There she won a reputation for grace and beauty, but, after a few years, she turned against stage life and quit it. Then she was lost sight of until a short time ago, when she was found living in a convent and wearing the plain black garb of the sisters of St. Joseph.

JAMES J. CORBETT.

James J. Corbett, who is said to have become something of an actor, will appear at Naylor's to-night in his new play, "A Naval Cadet He has-an excellent company with him, including the old Terre Haute favorite, McKeen Rankin, who has not been here these many years. The play is said to be far above the average in interest, and naturally will draw well here. "THE

THE WORLD-FAMOUS HYPNOTISTS, FMNTS." An attraction of extraordinary importance at the Opera House every night next week, beginning Monday evening, is the renowned "Flints," whose hypnotic powers have been recognized by the leading medical men of this country and Europe. The only branches of science in which great advancement has been made in recent years are hypnotism and electricity. The study of psychology, at one time considered of more importance than mathematics, has gained a new impetus under the practical results secured by scientific suggestion. Every important university and college is devoting much time to investigating and establishing principles. The lectures and experiments offered by

The Flints" at Naylor's Opera House next week will be valuable as university extension lectures and more amusing than any entertainment given at the Opera House this season. "The Flints" have received the most distinct praise from the press throughout the country, and are recognized as the most gifted of all the hypnotists. The prices for next week will be 10c, 20c, 30c and 50c. No extra charge for reserved seats, which can be had at Buntin's drug store.

NOTES.

Monday evening, April 27th, Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll will deliver his lecture at Naylor's Opera House, and owing to the number of requests received by the management "Colonel Bob" has been notified that the lecture "The Foundations of Faith" would be preferable to his many admirers here.

The next great society attraction at Naylor's Opera House will be Charles Frohman's original Empire Theater, New York stock company, in the beautiful society drama, "Sowing the Wind," which acquired a run of over four hundred nights at the Empire theater, where it was first produced. This organization will appear here Saturday evening, April 25th.

The big spectacular production of the Derby Winner" will be seen at the Opera House Thursday evening, April 23d, with, all the original scenery, and introducing, the greatest of all the great race scenes,, with six thoroughbred horses. In this play will be a scene representing General Grant's log cabin near St. Louis, painted and constructed from photographs and original sketches.

Mrs. John Drew, the actress, is in her 77th year, and the old Arch street theater in Philadelphia, which is soon to be torn down, is but eight years her junior in point of age. It was opened in October, 1828, and at times was under the management of Edwin Forest and W. EL Burton, the famous comedian. It was in 1868 that Mr. and Mrs. John Drew assumed the management. Mr. Drew spent a part of the time in London, but Mrs. Drew looked after the theater's policy and played the l**Aing comedy roles. Her leading lady tn weightier parts was the l&t$ Mrs. D. P. Bowers. In May, 1802, Mr. Drew died in Philadelphia.
