OF LOCAL INTEREST.

Uriah C., or as he is perhaps better known, "Barney" Greggs, is announced as a candidate for the Republican nomination for sheriff, subject to the decision of the nominating convention. There are few men in this vicinity more widely or favorably known than "Barney" Greggs, and the announcement of his candidacy will be greeted with pleasure by his numerous friends throughout the county. He is well equipped for the duties of the office to which he aspires, and if he is successful in landing the nomination he will make a mo»t thorough canvas for election. He has been a true and consistent'Republican at all times, is energetic and wide awake, and if nominated his name will no doubt add great strength to the Republican ticket this fall.

A test case of the 1804 act, making the running of a law-abiding saloon one of the conditions under which a liquor license is granted, is soon to be tried in the Circuit court. Mrs. Ada Niece, widow of the man killed by John Carrington at Grant station last February, has brought suit for $2,000 damages against Charles Markin, the saloon keeper, in whose saloon the shooting took place. It is claimed that Markin sold both Carrington and Niece liquor the night of the affray when both were sadly intoxicated.

Mrs. M. P. Kirkpatrick, the Pueblo forger, whose arrest a few months ago caused a great sensation on account of her high connections here, has been declared insane, and will thus escape punishment for her crimes.

The name of Isaac Torner is announced in another column as a candidate for the Datnocratic nomination for prosecuting attorney. Mr. Torner is a Terre Haute boy, born and raised, and a graduate of the High School. He studied law with •one of the best lawyers that ever prepared a brief, A. B. Felsenthal, and later took a course la the law school of Ann Arbor university, from which he graduated with high honors. Later he was associated ^vlth the late Sant Davis. He has been practicing law for six years and is well qualified for the duties of prosecuting attorney. He is well-known and popular, Is a member of various clubs and organizations, and with his wide acquaintance, -will make a very strong candidate.

William Koester, of south Fourth street, an employe of the car works, was run over In the girds at the works Tuesday, and received injuries which will probably cause his death. His spine is broken and the lower part of hit body completely paralysed. The family seems especially unfortunate, as a son, employed in the Vanrialia shops, is carrying his hand in a sling AS a result of a severe injury received at his work only last week.

The Vigo Fair association is arranging for a big Fourth of July celebration at the Fair grounds this year, and from the present indications it will be a great success. There will be many interesting features introduced, and the price of admission will be placec at a popular figure, ten cents. In the evening there will be the

finest display of fireworks ever seen here. Among* the features on the fireworks programme is a portrait in the heavens of Admiral Dewey, the hero of Manilla, and an illustration of the display in Manilla harbor, when Dewey was defeating the Spanish fleet. The admission to the even' ing's entertainment will also be at the same popular price, ten cents.

John E. Cox, who has many of the winning traits of his popular father, James Cox, who has never been beaten before the people, is announced as a candidate for prosecuting attorney on the Democratic ticket. He has been a practicing lawyer at the Vigo county bar for eight years, and has established for himself a most enviable reputation as a painstaking, straightforward practitioner. He is one of the energetic hustling young men who organized the Jackson club, of which he was the first president. He belongs to the wide-awake element, whose energy makes it hard for the Republicans, even in this Republican city, to gain decisive victories. He is popular with all classes, and if nominated will give the Republican candidate a "run for his money

It is to be hoped that the Spanish will get one member of the Missouri regiment that passed through here for Washington Wednesday night. When his train pulled out of the Big Four depot he held to the hand of Walter Ballard, aged twelve years, who was bidding him good-bye, and dragged the little fellow under the wheels of the moving train, which ground off his left leg at the knee. Ballard lived with his parents at Seventh and Lafayette streets, and was one of the brightest pupils at the Sixteenth district school.

One of the most popular Democrats in this county is Dan Fasig, who is announced as a candidate for the nomination for auditor. He has been identified with the business interests of Terre Haute for many years, and his qualifications for the office of auditor are numerons and marked. Two years ago he made the race for state senator, and although defeated in a Republican year he demonstrated his strength before the people in a notable manner. He has a wide acquaintance over the entire county, and will ike a good race should he be fortunate enough to secure the nomination. He is prominent is secret society circles, and is captain of Vigo Co. No. 83, which is entered in the prize drill at Indianapolis August next.

The drowning season opened on Monday evening, when Grant DeBaun, aged nine years, was drowned in the back water near the distillery. His body was not found until Thursday morning when it came to the surface near the spot where the drowning occurred. The boy was a son of Thos. DeBaun, the south side miller.

Elmer F. Williams announces himself as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Superidr judge. He is one of the best equipped lawyers at the bar for that position and would fill the office of judge with dignity and ability. He has never held public office, except that of United States commissioner, but in other walks of life his ability has given him unusual prominence. He filled the position of Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge of Indiana, Knights of Pythias, and was also a Representative to the Supreme Lodge, where his ability* made hiitr -prominent. He has a wide acquaintance throughout the county, and would make a race, If nominated, alike creditable to himself and to his party.

Chief Electrician Abe Balsley, of the street railway company, Is said to have been offered a lieutenantcy and a salary of $1,600 in the new engineering corps which the goverment is organizing for service in Cuba.

partner. He has been interested in many of the most important cases before the local courts, and has an established repu tation as an industrious and reliable attorney. He has great strength among the younger element of his party, and should he secure the nomination would attract many, votes from the opposite party.

The creditors of Frank Feidler, who made an assignment two weeks ago, and then disappeared from public view, held meeting this week, and decided to insist on the removal of E. H. Redmon, unless he increased his bond to the amount required by law. Some ngly stories are told about Feider and his assignment, and if true it is likely that criminal proceedings will be taken against him. Feidler is said to have gone to British Columbia with lot of the goods he bought on time, with the idea of defrauding his creditors. It was said that his wife had gone with him bnt she came back this week, and said that she had been visiting relatives in Springfield, 111., and that Feidler himself would be back in a few days.

One of the most promising members of the Terre Haute bar is Fred W. Beal, who is announced as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for prosecuting attorney. He is a graduate of the High School and of the law department of Ann Arbor, and during his practice at the local bar has demonstrated his peculiar fitness for the position of prosecuting attorney. He is a member of the Jackson club, and has always been an enthusiastic worker in the cause of Democracy. His family is one of the best known in the county, and he would develop great strength should he nominated for the place on the ticket

One of the best known residents of this county, outside of the city is James M. Bolton, who is announced as a candidate for the democratic nomination for county clerk. He has been a faithful worker in the cause of his party and has never before asked for anything at its hands. He is in every way qualified for the duties of clerk and will add to his party's strength if nominated. He is a representative farmer of Fayette township, where he has many friends, and therefore his strength is not confined to his own party.

Dr. Fred W. Shaley is announced as a candidate for the nomination for coroner, to which his past service for the party and his qualifications for the position cause his friends to feel that he Is justly en titled. He served as deputy under the late Dr. Haworth, and was the candidate for coroner In 1884, and made a most creditable race, being defeated by a few votes only on account of a defect that caused the throwing out of just enough ballots to defeat him. He is acknowledged as one of the most capable practitioners in the city, and should he be elected would fill the office of coroner with ability and honesty.

E. M. Walmsley, the former well known carpet dealer of this city, who has been living near Philadelphia for several months, locating there immediately after retiring from^, the Havens & Geddes Co., died very s^deoiy on a suburban train i&st Saturday morning, while on his way to the Philadelphia museum, where he held an Important clerkship. He was protninent for years in business, social and church circles in this city, and his death will be deeply regretted by a large number of friends. His wife, one daughter, Mrs. Ashmead, of Philadelphia, and two sons, Walter and Joseph, survive him.

One of the most capable men that ever held a position in the office of county recorder is Walter A. Phillips, who was a deputy there for four years, and is now announced as a candidate for the position of recorder. He was the candidate of his party in 1804, but in the landslide of that year was defeated, although making a most creditable race, and running many votes ahead of nis ticket. He is a resident of Harrison township. His race of four years ago gave him a wonderful acquaintance throughout the county which would be of an immense advantage to him this year should he secure the nomination. He is a very popular young man, and will give a good account of himself if he is nominated.

The local pension board, by the deaths of Dr. Haworth and Dr. Spain has consisted for some time of but one member, Dr. Moorhead. Commissioner of Pensions Evans has appointed an emergency board, consisting of Dr. Brown of Sandford, Dr. T. L. Spaulding and Dr. J. P. English, both of this city. All the members are old soldiers, *5?

Albert D. Weeks is announced as a can didate for the Democratic nomination for county clerk, for which his familiarity with the county offices well qualifies him He was sheriff of this county for four years, and performed the duties of that responsible position with credit to himself and his party.

He was a close friend of the late Senator Voorhees, who placed great confidence

him. He

has a great acquaintance throughout the county and if nominated would make a most energetic campaign.
