OF LOCAL INTEREST.

The telephone additions to our present system go merrily on. It is announced by the Ciitzens' company that their poles will be here during the coming week, when work will be commenced on their plant. The company has contracts with all the independent companies in the surrounding towns.

The Central Labor Union held its semiannual election Thursday night, with the following result: President, J. E. Hegarty, cigarmakers' union vice president, Harvey Boston, iron molders' union secretary, E. W. Whitlock, plasterers' union assistant secretary, E. H. Evinger, typographical union treasurer, J. W. Lauer, carpenters' union sergeant-at-armsand librarian, C. E. Wilgus, laborers' protective union trustees, C. E. Blood, bricklayers' union Sherman Donham, beer drivers' union, and J. J. Truinett, typographical union. Delegates to the state federation convention were chosen as follows: P. K. Reinbold, James E. Hegarty, Frank Downey, E. H. Evinger, and E. W. Whitlock. The local delegates will serve as the committee on arrangements for the convention.

The employes of the Standard Wheel Co. raised a pole with a handsome flag at the works on north Thirteenth street Thursday afternoon, and addresses were made by Congressman Faris and Hon. "Silver Dick" Miller.

It has been raining all around us during the past week, but until last night it seemed that the people of Terre Haute were to ba deprived indefinitely of the needed moisture. Last night, it came, and it came strong, raining very hard for some time. It had become so dry that the /corn in this vicinity is in bad shape, and a great deal more rain is needed to bring that crop to the desired condition.

The Democrats completed their list of candidates on Wednesday, when "Silver Dick" Miller, who moved here from Parke county for that purpose last year, was nominated for joint senator, and James •Chipps, a Vermillion county rarmer, was nominated for joint representative. Before the conventions met the Democratic county committee met and elected City Attorney P. M. Foley as chairman and Ira Kisner as secretary and treasurer. Al" Schaal was candidate for chairman and John Cleary for secretary, but the other fellows had the votes.

Trustee Steele, of the bicycle works, is having a hard time disposing of that property. Twice it has been advertised for sale at public auction, but each time there were no bids offered for anything like its appraised value. A number of the creditors have petitioned Judge Stimson for permission to foreclose their mortgages on the real and personal property with the order that it be sold to the highest bidder, without regard to its appraised value. The court granted the prayer of the petition, and ordered the plant sold on August 26th, to the highest bidder.

Patrolmen Harry French and James Bishop wore laid off yesterday on charges of loitering on duty. French stood talking in one place for forty minutes Thursday night, aud Superintendent Hyland found Bishop stretched on the ground fast asleep the same night near Eighth and Washington avenue. Bishop, who is the colored policeman that shot Patrolman Roth a year or so ago, has been on the force for nearly fifteen years, and this is the first time charges have ever been made against him for failure to perform his duties. They are both good officers, and the board will doubtless deal leniently with them.

Something of a sensation was created this week by the announcement that Mrs. Louise McGregor had sued Alex. McGregor for divorce, on the grounds of Adultery.

been too intimate, but her attorney removed the complaint from the clerk's office, and the public was thus deprived of this salacious news, which will doubtless come out in the trial. She also secured an injunction against his operating the grocery store at the corner of Second and Main streets, and it is now closed. She claims the store belongs to her. She asks for $5000 alimony and the restoration of heo maiden name, Louise Hendrich. P. M. Foley is her attorney, while the defendant will be represented by R. H. Catlin. _____

Two more disappointed Klondikers from Terre Haute have returned from the country of fabulous go d, utterly disgusted with their experience, Benny Van Borssum and Albert Neukom. They repeat what many others have said, that the gold discoveries are greatly magnified, and that much of the rush to the Klondike is the result of the work of the steamship companies, which are amassing great wealth asa result of the rush. Van Borssum and Neukom came home this week. Edward Keating, another member of the party, came home & couple of weeks ago, leaving Robert Jackson, Lawrence Forbeck and Wm. E. Evans, the other member, in the cold country.

The local branch of the Uniform Rank Catholic Knights of America, has elected the following officers: Captain, T. J. Dela hunt first lieutenant, Thomas Murtaugh second lieutenant, Charles Miller guard, Adolph Burgett sergeant, Tony Frisz color sergeant, Charles Fisher recording secretary, Charles Lang financial secretary, Frank Fehrenbach treasurer, J. Frisz.

B. G. Cox returned from his European trip on Tuesday, changing his mind about continuing the tour after reaching Switzerland. He was met in New York by his sister and D. P. Cox, who accompanied him home. He is suffering from nervous prostration, and since arriving has had several sinking spells that greatly alarmed the family and relatives. The wear and tear of his long journey have brought him to this condition, but to-day he is reported to be very much improved.

Ed. P. Bell, who recently retired from the Express, will leave in a short time for Chicago, where he will take a position on the Record, doing "feature" work. He has been a regular contributor to the Record in this line, reciting his experi ences in London and his impression of the people with whom he came in contact in his studies in the slums of the great city. His work has been very satisfactory to the Record people, and before he took the positioti of editor of the Express he had an offer from them to enlarge his field.

A camping party consisting of Roy Sibley, Roy Lawrence, George Schaal and Harry Miller, will go up to Lake Maxinkuckee next week for an outing. Their camp at Long Point will be known as "Camp Shy."

The Grand Opera House will open its fall and wintef season on the 5th of September with Al. G. Field's Minstrels. Stetson's Uncle Tom's Cabin company will appear on September 9th.

The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Hamilton sympathize with them deeply in the death of their infant son, Richard Aldridge, which occured last Monday morning.

James O'Hearn, an old resident of this city, died this morning at his home on north Third street. He was eighty-five years of age, and had lived here since the early fifties. _____

TEBRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, JULY 30, 1898

LITERARY N0TE6.

Joseph Earle Stevens, the author of

timely and clever book on The Philippine* which Messrs. Charles Scribner'a Sons will publish this month, is a young Bostonian who went to Manila in charge of important business interests several years ago and lived there for nearly two years. His letters and journals during this time, from which the book is written, give with great vivacity a picture of

typical foreign ex

perience in the Philippine capital, and tell practically just what everybody at this moment wants to know about the conditions and surroundings of life there. Mr. Stevens is a skillful amateur photographer, and the book is to be illustrated with more than thirty full-page pictures from his own and other cameras, which in themselves show Manila life and scenery more fully than anything hitherto accessible. CONGRESSIONAL

CONVENTION.

The Democrats Select Samuel R. Hamill as Their Standard Bearer.

The Democratic congressional convention for the Fifth district was held in this city this week and nbminated Samuel R. Hamill for congressman. There were several towns in the district that were anxious to have the convention, but a large majority of the delegates favored Terre Haute because Baur's So£a Fountain is located in this city and no other. The way the out-of-town delegates went for Baur's Soda Water was a caution, and shows that they were a body of discriminating men
