When the contracts for the several jobs of work on the brewery addition were let Symmes & Co., of lidianapolis, were awarded the concre'e work.

4he men were paid off last week they received but isy2 cents an hour and this led to the announcement that there would be a jtrike.

President Symmes was told the situation. ]He was informed his imported men had foeen taken into the union and all that, but *'hen told later that a strike had been inaugurated sent back word that the notice reeeived from his secretary, Mr. Carrie, had Hot been signed. This apparently was an attempt to spar for ti.ne, for Sunday there tame to Terre Haute twelve men—all negroes—to take the places of the strikers who were holding out for 15 cents an hour. The Federation officers 5_iid the situation before the second importat'on of men and they refused to go to work. As tb? Symmes company has but a few days more in which to complete the contract at the brewery Mr. Symmes was telegraphed for and he came over yesterday. He met the officers of the Federation, also the officers of the Protective Union. The end of the whole affair was that this morning the men who first came to the city and joined the union will be taken bick. It is said the company wanted to discharge the leaders, but this the organization would not listen to and there was nothing left for Symmes & Co. to do but surrender.

The Laborers' Protective Union appears to be getting very strong. The membership was small at ftrst, but by active work on the part of laboring men generally it is now on a working basis and the leaders say It is taking in members at every meeting. It is claimed there were twenty-eight accessions last week.

The man's name is Tames Payne, and he is a resident of Parkersburg, W. Va., where his family is R-eil to do. Two months ago he started for the Pacific coast.

velvety creeping across his face. He struck a match to see what had disturbed him. To his horror he saw several large tarantulas.

Payne did not dare to strike another match, and he knew that he was in imminent peril of his life. To leap from the door of the car meant certain death. While these thoughts darted through his mind, a cold, hairy substance dashed itself in his face, and he fainted. How long he lay unconscious he does not know, but when he came to life it was broad day and the train was still speeding like the wind. He tried the door, only to find it fastened, and he knew he was doomed to suffer for hours the prospect of an attack at any instant from the hideous creatures whose character he knew so well. The -straggling rays that, penetrated the cracks of the door enabled him to see dimly the objects about him, and he recognized his visitors of the night before, and saw that their number had been trebled. He looked about for a loose board, and found a small one, but he knew if he was attacked the tarantulas would leap at him, and he could not ward them off. His apprehension was increased

FORTUNE IN REEDS.

Mosquito-Breeding Swamps Which a .Jersey 'Squire Thonght Worthless. New York, Jan. 11.—For many years Justlv-e W. P. Smith of Park Eidge, N. J., has owned a piece of swamp land near Island Park that he would h&ve given away. It develops that for three years four men have been annually making $1,000 each by cutting reeds from the land and selling them to New York meerschaum pipe makers at 15 cents a pound. Justice Smith proposes to go into the business himself, now that he has made the discovery. The four men were in partnership, but disagreed over a division of the profits, and, as a result, three of them were placed under arrest Thursday. Two of the men are Rudolph Pautlauff, employed in a pipe factory in this city, and Leopold Popper of Pearl River. The fourth man in the alleged deal i£ the informant and he declares that during the past three years thousands of dollars' worth of reeds have been taken off the land. The defendants will have a hearing Monday. The reeds are of bamboo variety and generally found about two feet in length. At every three inches appears a joint. The reeds are used for making portieres apd scouring churns, but principally in polishing pipes. Justice Smith sent a young man to New York today to investigate, and pipe manufacturers offered him 15 cents a pound for the reeds. Justice Smith thought they were bullrushes. A reed industry may be established in the sp-ing.

The Locomotive T'lremeu Preparing Bill to Present Before the Present Legislature.

The railroads are prospering. There has never been a time when -cars were so scarce as they are at present over the country. There is a constant demand for them and consequently all the principal roads are trying to borrow, with the result that they can not find a road that has any cars to spare. The great rush for cars has been on now for about four months and bids fair to. continue for some time. Instead of being one kind of cars, as is usually the case, tha demands are for all kinds. At the Vandalia they have been all the way from 300 to 4C0 cars short during the past six .weeks. The first demand was for coal cars, and was unusually heavy considering the light winter. As none could be borrowed from other roads the entire repair force at the shops was put to work on disabled coal cars, with the result that they are about as short of cars now as four weeks ago, although about 300 have been repaired. On top of the demand for coil cars came orders for stock, furniture and common box cars, thus showing that business is in re'ality picking up even though it does not appear on the surface. So many cars have been repaired recently at the shops that for the first time for a number of years the shop's supplies have run short. Especially is this true in the roofing department. Besides there being a demand for cars of all kinds there is also a lack of engine power. Some of the quickest work in repairing engines has been done within the past month. Engtine No. 518, of the T. H. & P. division, was run in for a general overhauling and was completed in exactly one week, while formerly it had taken, from six to seven weeks to do such work in the old sihops.

Firemen Prepare a BUI.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen has prepared a bill that will be introduced in the upper house, says the Indianapolis News. The bill was drawn by Frank P. Sargent, grand master, and is about the same as the one that has been introduced in the New York legislature and the assembly of other states. Whenever an employe of a steam railroad becomes wholly or partly disabled while in the discharge of his duty, the corporation in whose employ he was at the time shall provide for his support by assessing all dividends paid by the corporation not exceeding one percentum a year, or if no dividend is paid shall deduct from the gross earnings a sum not exceeding one percentum a year and should that sum be insufficient the corporation shall deduct from the salaries of its employes a sum not exceeding one-half of one percentum a year. While an employe is disabled he shall get half pay. If he is killed the road is to give the widow 50 per cent of the salary of the deceased man earned so long as the widow remains unmarried, and then to the minor children, until they are of age, but if there are no children t]|p 50 per cent is to go to a de-. pendent father or mother during their lives. The act is not effective against any corpor-. ation until a majority of the employes of such road certify that they desire it.

ENDED IN A DIVORCE

BARBARA HINTON'S ATMCK ON HBR HUSBAND, JAMES HiNTON.

She Struck Him Orer the Head With Picture Punday—Assaulted Htm On the Street.

A suit for divorce filed in the Superor Court yesterday and settled twenty minutes afterward,' is the result of a desperate assault made Sunday last by Mrs. Barbara Hinton on her husband, James Hinton, the well-known and popular policeman. Mrs. Hihton was intoxicated Sunday evening. Indeed, it Is said she was drinking all the afternoon. Her husband wap at home readipg about 3 o'clock whsp, without a minute's warning she took a large picture from the wall and walking up to him broke it Into a thousand pieces over his head.

She did not stop at this, with the fury or a tigress she sprang at her husband fighting him with all the strength her command and it was with the greatest effort that Policeman Hinton prevented her from doing 'him bodily harm. He called to a neighbor lor assistance and while Hinton held his wife the neighbor went to the police station for assistance. Another officer went to the house and finally the infuriated woman was quieted. But it was only for a time. As soon as her husband left the house she became angry again and proceeded to wreck the furniture. She was making a sorry looking wreck when .Mr. Iiiuton again came on the scene and was just In time to save his pension and other grand army papers.

The half drunken woman then went out In the city and when seen again by her husband at 6 o'clock was much the worse for drink. It was about this time that the fire at Cronln's store broke out and Mr. Hinton was called to do duty at the building. As he was walking to the store he met his wife, who, without a word of warning sprang at him and dealt him a heavy blow in the face. The policeman managed to keep his temper and paid no attention to the assault. Yesterday morning he filed the suit for divorce and in twenty minutes it had been granted.

END OF A USEFUL LIFE.

Mrs. Catherine Lamb Dleil Yesterday Kvening at 5.30 O'clock. The people of Terre Haute will read with regret and pain the announcement that Mrs. Catherine Lamb, who for forty years has made her home here, is dead. It was at 6:30 yesterday evening that, surrounded by her heart-broken children and sorrowing friends, she who had watched the present generation •grow to a.n and womanhood, breathed her last, Mrs. 'Lamb died at the residence of her son, the Hon. John E. Lamb, 726 South Sixth stre'et. Catherine Lamb was born in County Longford, Ireland, October 31, 1819. When a girl of 16 her parents, whose name was McGcvernen, came to America and settled In Lafayette. Here in 1845 she was married to Michael Lamb and in 1848, with her husband, moved to this city. In Terre Haute her eleven children, seven of whom are yet living, were born and reared. The best years of her life were spent here and loved and honored by everyone who knew her she lived on and on until she reached the ripe old age of 77. Mrs.

Lamb lived a very quiet life. She visited but little and then only among her more intimate friends. Her whole life has been devoted to her children. She visited them regularly and the occasion of these visits were always made memorable by family gatherings.

Mrs. Lamb was possessed of all the qualities which go to make up a noble Christian woman. She was a member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church and it is from this church that her funeral will take place. Mrs. Lamb gave liberally toward the construction of the church she so faithfully attended. In fact her purse has ever been open to the advancement of Christianity and charity. She gave to everything tending to comfort and uplift suffering humanity and there are hundreds of people in Terrp Haute whose hearts have been made glad by her generosity. Mrs. Lamb was conscious until death and recognized everyone aiout her. The children who were gathered at' her bedside were Mrs. Mary Crawford, Mrs. J. £'. McNamara of Chicago, Mrs. Thomas P, Halpin of Chicago, and Messrs. John E. and Charles Lamb of this city.

Mrs. Lamb will be buried Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. There will be services at the house at 9 o'clock and at St. Joseph's Church at 10 o'clock. The interment will be at Woodiawn.

William Jennings Bryan has written the following letter to the Jackson Club in answer to the resolutions recently adopted by that organization and forwarded to the defeated" candidate for President:

Lincoln, NeJ., Dec. 81, 1896.—Mr. Charles R. Duffin, President Jackson Club, Terre Haute, Ind.: My Dear Sir—Your favor of the 20th has just been received In the multitude of letters received since the election and I hasten to reply. Permit me to thank you and through you the members of your club for their words of eincouragement to express my appreciation of the excellent work done by them in behalf of the success of the cause. It is gratifying to know that the friends of bimetallism are undismayed and ready to renew the fight for financial independence. I have no doubt of that ultimate victory. Yours truly,

W. J. BRYAN.

Fined in Police Court.

There was a lively police court yesterday. There was the regulation number of bums and in addition there was a galaxy of femininity. Mrs. Athie and Dort Hackman, of Eagle street, keepers of immoraF resorts, together with their girls were the additional attractions. The two women were fined $10 and costs. The girls were assessed $5 and costs. Those to come under the judicial frown were Ethel Russell. Mabel Pugh, Jessie King and Addie Howe. The King and Pugh girls went to jail in lieu of anyone coming to the front with money to risk on their staying qualities The four young men caught in the Sunday night drag were up before the superintendent and given to understand if they wero caught in any of the resorts again they would be sent to jail and heavily, fined.

Kxtending the Course.

There has been a movement on foot in the faculty of the Normal to advance the course of study so that the gvaduates may stand on an equal footing with the graduates from any other school over the state. Commencing with this term, the course in algebra and trigonometry have each been extended two terms. By this change the graduates will from now on be able to take positions in any high school in th# state. This is one line of work which has always been just a little advanced on account of one or two branches which the school did not teach.

BELIEVED TO BE AGO

VERY PROBABLY- TERRE HAUTE WIIX HAVE AN OPERA HOUSE.

The proposition was given a good deal of attention, but "the members of the board were unable to arrive at any definite conclusion. They were all apparently in favor of the project, but were not in position to take immediate action. Therefore, the question was placed in the hands of a committee. This committtee will make a thorough investigation of all things hinging on the deal and e!t a future meeting of the managers the committee will make a report. On this report the final decision of the custodians of the Rose fund will be based. Then, and not urutil then, will the people of this city know whether or nrft there will be a playhouse here next winter.

It would be difficult to speak too highly of Mr. Bane's playing. Greater masters of the guitar than he may h/ave been upon the American platform, but the present writer has not heard them. His technique, his delicate appreciation of the fine points ot instrument, and the artistic manner which he took advantage of them, the class of music which he playfcd, and the manner •in which he played it, gave his audience an insight into the flner, rarer possibilities of the instrument, wfliich was as wonderful as it was delightful. There was no tours de force of manual dexterity, no painful straining after unnatural and dazzling effects. The whole evening's work was that of the artist so sure of Ms instrument that its mechanical difficulties were intuitively overcome, leaving him free to give himself up wholly to the spirit of his music.

Mr. Bane's audience was most enthusiastic, and he wae compelled to respond with a general encore after th^ concert itself wag over. Mr. Bane left Boston for New York and an extended Western tour. Of his success there can be no doubt.

SENTENCE RESERVED.

The Trial of Lais Sonielllian Concluded in' Havana. Havana, Jan. 11.—The trial of the American citizen, Luis Someillian, on the charge of conspiracy against the government, was concluded today, sentence being, however, reserved.

Antonio -Mesa, speaking for the defense, said the public prosecutor had made unjustified and serious charges against his client and he asked for the release of the prisoner on account of lack of proof. Someillian, he said, should be tried according to the law of 121, as article 4 of that law greatly favors American citizens, according to a recent agreement btweeen Spain and the United States and he will therefore base his appeal on this irregularity. Senor Mesa added that public opinion is not legal proof, besides the declaration of the alderman and various neighbors as,to Someillian's supposed disaffection toward Spain were only public rumors.

Public Prosecutor Vidal then said that the Spanish magistrates at present had to follow public opinion and sentence &>meillian. Otherwise, if the conspirators in Havana were not punished the revolution would continue indefinitely. Senor Mesa spoke again, insisting that Someillian was innocent, and the court adjourned to prepare its decision.

As announced a few days ago by The Express that they would, the members of the board of manhgers of the Rose fund held a meeting yesterday at which the question of baking the bonds of 'the Terre Haute House Co. and advancing money for the erection of a new opera house was taken up. The stockholders of the Terre Haute House Co. some time ago made a direct proposition to the board of managers, but it was not until yesterday that the board held a session at which the matter could be discussed.

JOHNSON BANE COMING. .'

The Great

Guitarist to Appear In This CSty This Week.

The Washburn Mandolin and Guitar C! *b are making arrangements to give a concert at the Normal Hall on next Friday evening, in regard to Johnson Bane, the Musical Record of Boston has the following.

Mr. Johnson Bane, the Western guitarist, gave a guitar recital in Boston on the 15th of last month, with a result that must have been highly satisfactory to himself. It was Mr. Bane's first professional visit to Boston, and he consequently had to contend with all the obstacles which a newcomer for public favor must invariably meet. A fair-sized audience greeted him in Wegleyan Hall, however and if Mr. Bane ever chooses to play in Boston again, he need have no doubt of the welcome which will be extended him.

The deputy worked from November 7th to January Bth. The commissioners disallowed the bill, taking the ground that: under the law the assessor had no right to hire a deputy. The assessor is allowed a deputy for sixty days, but the commission-, ers held that Mr. Carr had already been allowed for this employment and that if he had hired another deputy for extra time he must pay the money out of his own pocket.

Mr. Frank Leverett of the United State* geological survey, spent the month of October in Southern Indiana, studying tha drift and the disturbances of drainage produced by the glacial invasion as stated in the preliminary note of his article on th« "Glacial Deposits of Indiana" In the Inland Educator for August, 1896, the glacial boundary, .as laid down on the map accom- W panying that article was only a rude ap-"^ proximation. Further study in the fielJ ha? made our knowledge more definite. Mr." 0 Leverett's latest observations have ex ten 1ed the limit of drift in Southwestern Indi-11 jj ana from ten to thirty mile3 to the southeast. The glacial boundary is now known to cross the counties as follows: Central Posey, Northwestern Vanderburg, Southeastern Gibson and Pike, Northeastern Dubois, cenral Martin and Eastern Greene and Owen tov-^ the northwest corner of Monroe. Mr. Leverett read a paper upon this subject at the meeting of the Geological Society of America 0 at Washington, December 29th to 31st.—Inland Educator.
