The Regal road race under the auspices of Emil Wulschner & Son, of Indianapolis, on Tuesday, attracted considerable interest, and the finish over the race track at the fair grounds attracted a large crowd to th®t delightful resort. The course was ten and four-tenths miles in length and began at the intersection of Lafayette and Thirteenth streets, at Twelve Points, and from this point ran northeast over the Lafayette road to the first road south of Otter Creek, thence east to the north and south road past Kllsworth, and from that point south to the National road, and from that to the race track. There were thirty entries in the race and all but one of these started. The finish was exciting. The prizes were awarded as follows: Time prizes—First, Harry Hedges, CM) sec.) 29 rniu. 30 1-5 sees. second, Frank Hulman third, A. Ferguson fourth, H. H. Dronberger fifth, Harry Davis.

Company B., the local militia company, will spend a week at the Nashville exposition in August, in charge of Capt. Geo. W. Biegler. First lieutenant, .T.E. Thomas, and second lieutenant, A. W.

Stunkard, who is surgeon of the First regiment with the rank of major and Dr. Will Davis, who is in charge of the brigade hospital corps, with the rank of captain, aud Commissary Sergeant W. H. Bradbury will also probably be among those who will go.

Special efforts are to be made by the Nashville people to entertain the visiting military companies, and the Co. 13. boys expect to have a good time on their outing.

the outside trade, as well as that of the city, and his extensive acquaintance, together with his great personal popularity, will be of vast advantage to the house of which he will assume charge. When A. Herz moves into his beautiful new store in the Deming block in September, the building he now occupies will be remodeled for the use of the Pixley Co., and in order to put his stock in good shape to remove easily, the new manager will at once inaugurate a removal sale. Tne new place will be one of the largest and most commodious clothing houses in the state, and it will start in style in the hands of a lively, energetic manager.

The litigation over the Terre Haute Manufacturing Company, which removed here last fall from Dixon, 111., and which has been manufacturing the Damascus bicycle and Schluer tandem, resulted on Wednesday in Judge Henry deciding to place the affairs of the company in the hands of a receiver, and on Thursday he named J. W. Cruft as receiver. Mr. Cruft filed a bond of 130,000 the same evening, took charge of the company's affairs, and will endeavor to bring its business into such a shape that it can be profitably conducted. It is believed by those who are familiar with the affairs of the company that it can be put on a solid basis where it will make money, and it is the hope of every one that such a result may be brought about.

The oil fever in this community is not dead by any means, aud it is being urged that a company be organized to still further prospect for gas and oil in this vicinity. The Diall well, which struck oil on the night before the city election in May, 1889, still continues to flow in profitable amounts, and the owners, the Prox & Brinkman Company, receutly contracted ta deliver fifteen hundred barrels of oil a month to a sugar refining company in New York.

The big Indiaua distillery will close down for the summer about July 1st, ani it is believed that the mammoth Majestic distillery, just balow it, will be ready for operation about September 1st. The Majestic bears the distinction of being the largest distillery in the world, barring none.

Contractor Frornme has been pushing the new theaiter, and the work of •iaying brick on the foundation began yesterday. The hotel compauy has leased from the receiver of the Vandalia company, a piece of land lying along the tracks betweeu Cherry and Mulberry streets, on which will be erected a plant for generating heat and light for the new theater and office building, as well as the Terre Haute house. Amos Barhydt, the lessee of the new theater, was expected here this week to talk over his plans with the directors of the company, but thus far has not been able to come. Robert L. Hayman, who has had extensive experience in catering to the theatrical wants of the Terre Haute amusement public, and who is certainly up to date on them, it is understood will be an applicant for the position of local representative of Mr. Barhydt in case the latter does not locate here, and in the event of the new lessee removing his family here and locating permanently, will be a candidate for a position under him. Mr. Hayman has a great many friends here who would be glad to see him connected with the new house,

The county board of review will meet on Monday to equalize the assessments of personal property made by the iownship assessors this year. There promises to be a lively time during the meetings of the board over some assessments made this year, aud it is a sure thing that some of the cases will be appealed to the state board of tax commissioners.

Charles N. Murphy, who is iu British Columbia, prospecting, telegraphed in cipher to Julius Meinicke, yesterday that the gold mines in which a number of Terre Hauteans are interested, were found to be much more valuable than had been expected. The mines are located on Sutter's Creek, about 150 miles east of Vancouver, and are in a region that has been little explored. A rich lead has been struck in the mines in question, and there seems to be no limit to the precious metal it will produce. Specimens of the ore will be received here in a short time, and placed on exhibition. Other Terre Hauteans interterested in these mines are Gus Conzman, Lawrence fteinl, Geo. W. Bement. Julius Meinicke, Louis and Hugo Duenweg, and a number of others.

The New Sewer System. The council met Tuesday night and opened the bids for the new sewer system, which it is proposed to build here, and which will give employment to a great number of laborers during the coming summer. The bids received are much less in total than the estimate prepared by the city engineer for the work, and there is little question but that the couucil at the adjourned meeting next Tuesday night will award the contract for the work. Here are the bids submitted for the different parts of the work:

OBITUARY.

CHARLES M. DAGGETT.

Charles M. Daggett, whose serious condition was noted last week, died at Mt. Clemons, Mich., Monday morning, and the body was brought home the same day. Deceased was one of Terre Haute's best known citizens, and had been a resident of the Prairie City since 1869, when he came here to take the superintendency of the old

Seath & Hager car works. He was a

native of MaiQe and was borQ in Union

™t3!,U3ed_by_th!W°Ikm^„^ Knox county, March 8,1834. When twen-ty-three years of age he came west, locat-

ing at Alton, 111. He remained there several years, afterwards removing to Missouri, where he was engaged in various business enterprises before coming to Terre Haute. After retiring from the car works, he became engaged in the lumber business, having mills in various parts of the country, and large interests in Arkansas.

Deceased was one of the most prominent members of the Masonic fraternity in the city, and was a Past Eminent Commander of Terre Haute Commandery. He was a faithful official, and never missed a meeting of the commandery during his term of service, often coming a distance of two hundred miles to keep his appointment. He had the honor of having created more Sir Knights during his term of office than during any one term up to that time. His funeral on Tuesday was conducted by the Commandery, and in accordance with his request he was buried iu full uniform of the order with which he had so long and so prominently been identified.

The pall bearers were Past Eminent Commanders of Terre Haute Commandery, Messrs. J. W. Cruft, Geo. E. Farrington, F. C. Crawford, W. E. Perryman, W. S. Roney and L. S. Briggs. The casket was born from the house to the hearse by the five sons-in law, W. W. Hauck, W. D. Miller, Jos. Fox, W. G. Hesser, of Fort Wayne, John L. Davis, and Wili Daggett, a nephew of the deceased. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. M. Tippy, of Centenary church. The floral offerings were numerous and elaborate.

Deceased was a perfect specimen of manhood, and despite his years was as active and energetic, until a few months ago, as any young man. His active life had given him a physique that made him an object of attention, and when the news came that his health was in such a condition that he was obliged to visit Mt. Clemons, it was a matter of great surprise to his numerous friends here. The trouble was cancer of the stomach, and although everything possible was done to restore him to health it was without avail. Had his strength been sufficient to stand the severe surgical operation necessary the physicians said that his life might have been prolonged several years. The operation was decided upon by the members of the family, but a change for the worse rendered it impossible.

Mr. Daggett, was married at Alton, 111., in February, 1800, to Miss Elizabeth Broadbent, who died in this city, in January, 1889. By that union he had six daughters, Mrs. Clara B. Fox, Mrs. Edith Hauck, Mrs. Lulu Miller, Mrs. Ethelda Hesser, of Fort Wayne, Mrs. Gertrude Davis, and Leoretta Daggett. He was married a second time in 1801 to Miss Sarah Hargrove, who with the daughters above named survive him.

Among those from a distance who attended the funeral on Tuesday were: Theophilus Hargrove and wife, of Greenburg A. R. Holden, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Daggett, of Rushville, Mr. and Mrs. John Dalrymple and Geo. Dyer, of Indianapolis, and Mr. and Mrs. Will Johnson, of St. Louis.

A. M. FARXHAM.

A. M. Farnham, the well-known contractor, died at his home on Oak street, Tuesday morning, after a long illness. He was seventy years of age, and had been a resident of this city for many years, coming here from the east. His wife and two daughters. Miss Jennie Farnham, of the city school force, and Mrs. P. H. Bolinger, of North Manchester, Ind., survive him. Mr. and Mrs. Bolinger and Otto Heyroth, a son-in-law of the deceased, of Cincinnati, attended the funeral Thursday afternoon.

Joseph Frisz. the grocery keeper at Fourteenth and Locust, who has been having a whole lot of troubles of his own, growing out of his guardianship of Jerome Asbnry. and who wae indicted by the federal grand jury at Indianapolis for keeping a pension certificate belonging to his ward, was acquitted on trial before Judge Baker this week. Stimsou, Stimson & Condit were attorneys for Frisz, while Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Walker appeared for Asbury, who contested the proceedings by which he waa placed under a guardian's care.
