GREAT SACRIFICE SALE!

E}ven the rain could not keep the people away. Crowds of eager Bargain Hunters thronged our store all day picking up the great bargains we are offering.

t.

DRESS GOODS are selling East at the prices we aiimaklng bii them. 5 CLOAKS, well we guess they are, selling. 'You see pur goods and prices and you are sure to buy.

HOSIERY, UNDERWEAR, BLANKETS, Etc.,

Now is the time to lay in your supply for winter at a great saving. Everything just as advertised.

THE..

Everything In connection with the new opera bouse will be up-to-date. Especially modern and complete will be the new heating and lighting plant.

It is new being hurried to completion by the Prox & Brinkman Manufacturing Co., under the supervision of thi builders of the theater.

This plant will heat and light not only the opera house but the Terre Haute House as well. The plant that has been performing this service for the Terre Haute House is being removed and the new machinery will occupy Its place.

Th© boiler house for the new plant is down on Mulberry street near the Vandalia tracks. It is a brick building 45x70 feet, with six big tubular boilers—-three on either side of a stack, seven feet In diameter and 120 feet high. The stack is iron, the bottom half of it being one-quarter of an Inch in thickness and the top half three-sixteenths.

All the boilers are constructed independently. That is to say, no one of them is dependent upon any one of the others. Three will be used at any one time and any three desired. They are all connected into a teninch "header," which is buried four feet below the surface of the ground in a wooden conduit. This "header," or pipe, is covered with asbestos. It is 1,450 feet in length, running from the boiler house up Mulberry street to the alley between Eighth and Ninth, down the alley to Cherry street, west on Cherry to the alley back of the theater and down that alley to the engine and dynamo room in the basement at a point midway between the theater and the Terre Haute House.

There is a six-inch return pipe for carrying the condensation from the radiators in the theater and hotel back to- the boiler house. This condensation enters a Cookson combination heater and receiver, where it is heated to 212 degrees and whence it is pumped into a Still well live steam purifier. Thence it passes to the boilers by gravity. The object of this machinery is to free the water of lime and magnesia for the purpose of preserving the boilers. The main water Bupply for the plant comes from the tanks on the top of the buildings. It passes into the Cookson apparatus, just as the exhaust does, and is there relieved of its mineral ingredients. The ten-inch regular steam pipe from, the boiler house to the hotel and theater and the six-inch Veturn pipe are crossconnected in the engine and dynamo room so that in case of an accident to the "header" the smaller pipe can be made to serve in its place temporarily, the condensation from the radiators being allowed to pass into the sewer meanwhile.

In the engine and dynamo room the equipment is very fine and wholly adequate for tne needs of the Terre Haute House block. It Is supplied with two high-speed Alfrey engines and two of the General Electric Co.'s' best dynamos. These sets of machinery are separate, one being held in reserve in view •f the possibility of accidents. The engines and dynamos are not connected by means of belts they have what is known as the "direct connection," which means that the shaft from the engine is the one that operates the dynamo. The escape steam from the engines is used for heating the hotel and theater, so that there is not afire in the Terre Haute House block except that in the range in the kitchen.

S.

People st That City Excited—'Only Ono Kailroad Banning ta—The Epidemic

Galveston, Tex., Oct. 10.—Before a meeting of the Galveston board of health today, Dr. Guiteras made a statement in which ho said:

There are five ca£es of yellow fever here and three cases that have recovered from tho disease. There is no doubt in my mind as to the correctness of the diagnosis. I have been very careful and have made no statement as to any cases without close personal examination. The cases are scattered and seem to have no connection. They appear to have developed in a quite confusing way and are mixed with dengue fever."

The opinion of a majority of fhe physicians here is that there is no yellow fever at Galveston, but a type of dengue fever has existed for the past sixty days, that there have been 15,000 cases of dengue and not a single death.

A meeting of citizens of Galveston has been called for tomorrow lor the purpose of asking Dr. Wyman to keep Dr. Guiteras here until he has had timo to report fully on all suspicious cases.

Galveston was somewhat excited Saturday night, but today the city was quiet. The Santa Fe Is the only railroad open. All other roads were cut off last night, but anyone could get out of town. About 300 people have left the city, or will leave Monday, by boat. This cbastltutee the total hegira from here. The cltizfehs claim that if these cases are yellow ffcvfcft1 then thousands of citizens have had it, as there have been thousands of cases similar* to the cases pronounced by Dr. Guiteras^ to be yellow fever.

THERE'S NO IMPROVEMENT.

Fever Situation in the South Remains Unchanged. New Orleans, La., Oct. 10.—The fever situation here grew no better today. New cases appeared in various portions of the city, many of them, however, being reported in houses where there was already infection. There were several deaths, and in one case the fatality occurred not long after the report of the case was brought to the attention of the board. Three persons were reported sick in the Call family this morning. During tho day one of them died. The second -death among the cases in Algiers was reported today, Miss Caselar. Two of the deaths today were in Carrollton, which, relative to population, has furnished more fatal cases than any locality in the city.

Official report of the board of health: Cases of yellow fever today, 37 deaths today, 5 total cases of yellow fever to date, 577 total deaths from yellow fever to date, 61 total cases absolutely recovered, 240 total cases under treatment, 276.

Among the new cases is that of Mrs. Sampsell. Her husband, Dr. Sampsell, and their son were taken ill two or three days ago, and the infection has spread in the premises. Another physician is on the list of cases reported today, Dr. Omo Leerch, but he is not reported to have a serious attack. Dr. Barnett and Dr. Howard Oliphanc are both reported to be progressing favorably towards recovery.

Among the new cases is that of A. W. Read, second engineer of the steamer Valleda. Be was taken sick on the vessel and immediately removed to the Touro infirmary. The steamer had been disinfected and extra precautions -taken to prevent a spread of the fever among others of the crew.

COMMERCIAL RELATIONS.

New Publication to be Issued by the Bureau of Foreign Commerce. Washington, Oct. 10.—The bureau of foreign commerce of the. state department is just now busily engaged in the preparation for publication of the volume known as "Commercial Relations of the United States," embodying annual reports from United States consuls in every country in the world upon the trade conditions in their respective districts. Within the past three years the quality and the value oi this annual publication to th© business interests of the country have improved in an astonishing degree owing .to Careful selection of material patient suggestlSfi t'o consuls of information likely to be desired and the addition of a compendious and thorough review prepared by the chief of the bureau, setting out conclusions as to general trade tendencies than may be impartially drawn from the vast store of matter supplied by the consuls.

The forthcoming volume is of larger scope even than its predecessors, and instead of being little more than the dry compilation of figures that it formerly was, the "Commercial Relatidns" for 1896-7 will present a mass of information of such variety as to be valuable and interesting, not only to exporting merchants but to public men, to manufacturers and to technical workers. An indication of the character of the work is afforded by the extracts that have been made from the reports received within the last week only and have been given the benefit of advanced publication.

From Hanover comes an account of the installation of an electric railway for handling heavy freight, suggestions for placing American tools In Germany and talk of an opening for breakfast cereals. The consul at/ Barcelona reports upon the trade of Spain as affected by the Cuban war, upon Spanish women's aversion to the bicycle and upon tariff and financial questions. From nearby Santo Domingo of a report of rsilway development of tariff changes and a comparison of European and American credit systems. The depressing effect of American competition upon the Swiss watch trade is described by the consul ot Geneva, who also, tells of the preference for American bicycles: and of the growing demand for American canned goods, California fruits and sole' leather. The leather trade is also treated by the consul at Bristol, a trade center, and he adds a chapter on bacon that should be interesting to home raisers and packers because of the technical hints upon growing and curing for the English market The inroads that American lead pencils are making into the formerly exclusively German foreign markets is the subject of a chapter in the report of the consul at Nuremburg. The consul at Stratford reports upon corn

and barbed wire and the consul at Coaticook throws out some hints to American newspaper puMishsrs as to the means of obtaining a sale for their publications In the dominion.

BALTIMORE HAS TROPHY.

By Winning Yesterday*# name the Temple Cup Remains With Orioles. ""Baltimore, Oct 11.—The temple cup will stay in Baltimore another year. It has been won twice in succession for the first time in its history, and if tho Orioles take it ctgain it is theirs absolutely. The former champions also take SO per cent of the money paid in at the gates during the three games in Boston and the two played here, while the winners of th® pennant will get ••but 40 per cent, unless, as it is generally believed, the players agreed among themselves to divide the spoils equally.

Today's game, like all th others of the series, save the first one, was an easy proposition for the Baltimoreans, who did much as they pleased, while the visitors never appeared to think they had any chance whatever. An audience so small thai the management refused to give the exact number and so utterly devoid of enthusiasm that scarcely a ripple of applause occurred, saw it done and appeared to be glad that the game, one of the shortest on record, was over and that the season was over with it. The attendance was about 750. Baltimore 02300022 *—9 13 2 Boston .. .. 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 1—3 15 3

*S .«•

Dublin, Oct. 10.—Today la the sixth anniversary ot the death of Chstrles Stewart ParnelL Five thousand nationalist paraded Che streets to tho bleak Giasnevin cemetery where they heaped high the gc««e of their famous and lamented leader with flowers brought from aH the counties of I re an

The demonstration was unl^&fe." Previous demonstrations have had strictly a funeral character, but in accordance with the decision of the leaders that of today was divested of all the trappings and the suits cf woe and converted into a triumphal procession, lively national airs replacing dirges. The country people were brought in by crowded excursion trains. In their hats they wore shamrocks instead of crape. It was emphatically the peoples' day, for the aristocracy held coldly elcot. No flags were raised on the public buildings along the line ot route and only a few houses of the poor displayed decorations. The day was wet, windy and cheerless and the demonstration was imposing in no respect except in^ its spirit.

The procession started from St. Stephen's Green at 1 o'clock led by a mounted guurd of honor of Irish National Foresters, immediately followed by the York street braes band^ which preceded the memorial car. The car was the most conspicuous feature. It was drawn by four coal black horses and upon It were piled wreaths «nd crosses, a veritable mlass of white and green stacked as high as a load ef hay. A broaee bast of Parnell surmounted the oar and above 4he head streamed a green emblazoned with a setting sun in gold.

After the car came members -of the Irish parliamentary party headed by Mr. John Redmond, M. P., the moving spirit of the •celebration. They were followed by the honorary officers of the demonstration committee, the staffs of various newspapers, delegates from the Irish National J^eague of

G0eat Britain and then by the carriages containing Mr. John Parnell, M. P., Mrs. Dickinson, sister of he dead jjatriot, other members of the Parnell family, and James Stephens. The venerable Mrs. Delia Parnell was unable to be present.

The lord mayei and corporation of Dublin, the mayors, sheriffs and municipal dignitaries of Cork and Limerick, robed in their official regalia come next Then the various civic deputations carrying gaudy banners.

There were more than thirty bands in the procession and every county and large town, as well as scores of smaller towns, had official representation. No union jacks were carried but nearly every county delegation raised the stars and stripes next to the green flag. One of the most suggestive features was the predominance of children, and aged people, showing that tlia tide of emigration is carrying Ireland's able bodied sons and daughters to more prosperous lands. Then the crowds were great, there were no disturbances.

On the arrival of the procession at tho cemetery the committee and the members of the Parnell family deposited wreaths and floral tokens on the grave. There was no speech making and nothing in tho way of formal ceremony. A smart shower finally 6ent the spectators scurrying for shelter.

There were no partisan collisions and the tone of the aoti-Parnell press in commenting upon the anniversary and the celebratioto Is exceptionally moderate.

Tbe Estate of Joseph Ball.

Washington, Oct. 10.—The treasury department has had many inquiries from timo to time about the alleged estate ot one Joseph Ball, of Philadelphia, which Is'supposed to be held in trust in the treasury department. The letters speak of this trust and of an alleged eighty-four year lease given by Mr. Ball to certain valuable property in Philadelphia. Some time ago it was stated that ex-President Harrison was interested as an attorney in the estate. Many hundreds of people all over the country have been drawn into the struggle for the money which they erroneously imagine lies in tho treasury awaiting distribution. To all of these inquiries replies are sent out informing the heirs that there is no such fund in the treasury aid that the only record in the department of "Joseph Ball, of Phildelphla," relates to a claitt of about $3,000 which he filed as an underwriter agains the government in 1801 for cargoes seized by the French. The claim is one of the ordinary French spoliation claims.

HIGGINBOTHAM CASE.

YOUNG KAN CBAKUKD WITH ATTEMPTED ASSAULT NOW ON TRIAL.

Of Coarse a Large Crowd Was PreieoVIo Uear tho Evidence—Other New Abont the Coort*.

Miss Paddock is a good look ins girl of Ll, with a really refined appearance and a very .: determined way ot answering questions. Higgtnbotham is also of rather prepossessing appearance, a man of about 24. Both helong to very respectable families. Mr. Hisginbotham w©rks on a farm and Miss Paddock at the time of the alleged crime was doing housework for a farmer by the name of Long, who lives near the Watson school bouse in Prairie Creek township.

The testimony which the crocs-examina-tion of the young girl elicited was all that the crowd of persons who craned their necks and pointed their ears to hear its revolting dcxalls could wish. The relatrix told the whole siory without a break as though she had previously schooled herself for the occasion. She did very well until the counsel for the defense took part and hegan to quiz her, when she contradicted herself in several particulars.

Miss Paddock, old man Long and the aged grandmother Of the girl were all the witnesses examined. The trial will proceed today, and the defendant put. upon the stand to tell his version. Bis lawyers, A. M. Higgins and S. R, Hasaill, are confident that they can tear to pieces the mam part of the testimony ot the fair accuser. M. C. Hamill is assisting the prosecutorin the work for the state.

V~ t^Mnmlesloners Will Fight It. The boata of county commissioners, after carefully reading over the complaints in the suits for damage filed against the county by Joseph Crockett and Mrs. Anna Kuykendall, have fully determined to fight the suits and have so notified their attorneys.

The two plaintiffs own land along Clear creek, in Honey Creek township, and they claim to lave been damaged to the extent of $1,000 each by the overflow of the water on their possessions. This overflow is due, they allege, to the building of a bridge, with the necessary grading, Just below their lands. This bridge is sixty feet between the abutmeats, while the bed ot the stream is but twenty. Back of these abutments for some rods has been graded up approaches, which, Crockett and Mrs. Kuykendall assert, back die water on the land when the creek is swollen.

On the other hand, the commissioners hare oounter claims and complaints which they are confidant will gain for them the case. They ray that Crockett and Mrs. Kuykendall have each allowed the bed of the streamlet, where it flows through their land, to be choked up with brushwood and debris of all sorts. They claim also that Mr. Crockett has allowed a high growth ot willow and hedge to spring up just on the edge of the channel, which retards the rush ot the water, makes a dam of the driftwood and holds the water back when the freshet subsides.

In the Superior Court.

The damage suit against the city of Thomas Mulvahill will be called today. Plaintiff wants recompense for alleged damages on the curbing ou Sycamore street from Fourteenth to Twenty-first streets. He will be represented by Louis D. beveque and S. R. Hamill.
