SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1870.

City and Neighborhood.

To ADVERTISERS.—The advertisements in the GAZETTE to-day will show the style •of display type we intend to use. It is sufficiently large to suit the needs of the boldest advertiser. We have larger type, "but we bought it to use in our job office. We do not wish to insert stereotype plates or cuts in our advertising columns, unless they are metal and, then only at double rates.

READ.—Read the railroad report in this paper to-day.

Cor*cix.—Council meeting on Monday nijrht.

TO-XIGHT.—Daniel W. Voorliees will aedress the people at the Court House tonight, on which occasion he will set himself right with the Democracy on the land grabbing scheme.

THE GAZETTE.—The Newsboys' Edition of the GAZETTE may be had at the counting room of the office this evening. It is brim full of reading matter, and copies enveloped ready for mailing may be had. Call and get a copy.

THUNDER STORM.—A heavy thunder storm passed over this city at half after 12 o'clock to-day. For about 20 minutes the rain came down in torrents. The rain was attended by the most vivid flashes of lightning and heavy peals of thunder.

KNOCKED DOWN.—This afternoon, just after the rain,, and when the flash of lightning came,, of which mention is made elsewhere,, a horse being driven by Mr. Turner, of the firm of Turner fc Buntin, while turning the corner of Main and Seventh streets, was knocked to his knees, but fortunately was not hurt. Mr. Turner was near being thrown from the wagon. ..

WARD MEETINGS.—This evening Republican Ward meetings will be held at the foowing places, for the purpose of choos ing delegates to the Republican County Convention, which will meet at the Court House on the 11th inst., at 10 o'clock A. M.:

First Ward—Court House. ... Second Ward—Reese's Carpenter Shop. Third Ward—Thompson's Cooper Shop Fourth Ward—Engine House. Fifth Ward—Depot.

Our. dispatches yesterday morning mentioned the appointment of Charles W. Thompson, son of Col. R. W. Thompson, to a West Point cadetship, to enter in 1871. —Express.

Col. Thompson informs us that it is not his son who has been appointed to a cadetship. His son is named Charles D,, and not Charles W. No application for such a place has been made, either by the Colonel or his son.

MAYOR'S COURT.—The Mayor had his hands full to-day. Seven city cases and two State cases. The charges were for disorderly conduct, drunkenness, indecent exposure of person, ftc. All were appropriately fined and costed, and two who had not the cash to liquidate the claims were sent to jail. The offenders were principally laborers on the V-andalia Railroad, who had just been paid off and had gone on a bender.

A Row.—Quite a row occurred at a boarding house on Main street, between Ninth and Tenth streets yesterday morning. Some difficulty occurred between the keeper of the house and a boarder, which led to a general light in the barroom and 011 the street. The bar keeper knocked one man down, and then took a club to another, we learn, using it quite freety, and badly using up the head of the boarder.

ANOTHER PIC NIC.—On the 15th inst., the Methodist Episcopal Sunday School at Vincennes will visit our city for the purpose of enjoying a pic njje-afc the beautiful Fair Grounds neaj- this city. Rev. Stephen Bowers is the pastor of the church at that place.. No more pleasant place to hold, a picntc canbe found than at our Fair Ground. The Terre Haute people will welcome the little folks and their friends, and we hope all may enjoy the excursion well. Indeed if the weather be line, -they will not fail to do so.

RUNAWAY.—This afternoon, about 1 o'clock, and after the thunder storm had passed over the city, there came a vivid flash of lightning, and a startling peal of thunder. At the time, a colored boy was holding a horse attached to a buggy, belonging to Col. W. E. McLean, the horse standing at the time on Main, between 6th and 7th streets. The horse became frightened, and, breaking loose from the boy, made a dash across the street, upsetting the buggy. The horse was desperately frightened. It was fortunate that no one was in the buggy at the time..

BOARD OF TRADE.—Last night an important meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trade was held at Col. 11. W. Thompson's office. Rules and regulations for the government of the organization were adopted, and other important steps taken. It is intended to fit up the large hall in the rear of Col. Thompson's office as a Board of Trade room. The McClure Library has been turned over to the Board of Trade, and in the course of time other books will be added to it. The room will be well supplied with newspa pers and periodicals, and will not only be a place for the meetings of the Board of Trade, but will be a reading room as well There will he another meeting of the Executive Committee on Wednesday evening of next week, when important business will be attended to. The organization starts out in earnest, and will, no doubt, accomplish much good. V\

ON THE RAMPAGE.—Last night a man from St. Louis, whose name we omit, got on a bender, and became exceeding boisterous and disorderly. Perhaps the fellow thought he could do as he pleased in Terre Haute, but in this he was mistaken. He went into a certain saloon and made a generat smash up of things, amusing himself by throwing glasses, knocking chairs over, and finally he drew his revolver and fired it, but fortunately he did not shoot any person. His conduct was most disgraceful. He was gobbled by the police officers, and to-day had a hearing before His Honor, Mayor Cookerly, who jhulch•Athe offender in the sum of $4425. The fellow had to pay $10 to the bar-keeper for damage done to property iii the saloon. In all it cost him $54 25. He will probably learn a little more sense and will, it may be, behave himself a little better in the future. Should he conduct himself in a Uke wannertigain, ft wUl probaMjprqve a little more expensive than this little spree

E., T. H. & C. R.R.

First Annnal Report of the President and Directors of the Evausville, Terre Haiite & Chicago Railway Company.

The following is the report of President Collett in regard to the operations on the E., T. H. & C. R.R. It will be read with interest:

In the discharge of a duty imposed upon the Board, by the railroad, law of Indiana, the President and Directors submit to the stockholders of the Evausville, Terre Haute & Chicago Railway Company the following statement of the affairs of said Companjr, as their first annual re Porfc»

Immediately upon the organization of the Company, the Board, by availing themselves of surveys previously made, were enabled to locate a portion of the road, and put the bridge over the Wabash River under contract. A large amount o£ stone was quarried and delivered on the ground, and most of the piles were prepar ed and driven before the commencement of winter, but the work "was lntefrupted by arise in the river before as much progress had been niftdG as th© Board nad hoped for.

The stone for the abutments is obtained from an excellent quarry, belonging to the Company, a short distance north of Highland, on the line of the road, and convenient for river transportation. During the winter a considerable quantity of stone was quarried, covering, probably twentyfive per cent, of the material required, and was delivered early in the spring, by barges, at the bridge. The masonry is now being pushed forward with energy,* and though the water is getting quite low, Mr. Daniels, the contractor, thinks he can complete the masonry by September^

In compliance with an order of the Board of Directors, the earth work from Newport fair grounds south, to the northern boundary of Vigo county, was put under contract, at favorable rates, during the past fall and winter, and, with the exception of the Clinton bridge, can, if necessary, be made ready for the track layer in 30 or 40 days.

The remainder or North division of the road was located at the last meeting of the Board, running within 1% miles of the town of Perrysville.

A careful survey of this part of the route is now being made, and at the earliest possible moment will be put under contract. The unfinished division is principally light work, and can probably be completed by the middle or last of October next.

About 100,000 ties have been contracted for, 40,000 of which are already delivered at the road bed, and 20,000 have been inspected and paid for. No difficulty is anticipated in obtaining all the ties required for the entire line.

The following.statement is an exhibit of the receipts and expenditures to date ,KlBCKXJPXS» On stock subscription^ .V S 50,464 97 Proceeds on T. H. City Bonds, 83,864 83

Total expenditures. 563,835 75

Amount onThand... $70,494 05 Many subscribers to the Capital stock of the Company. living along the line, have taken contracts for grading, the delivery of ties, timber, fcc., with a view of paying their subscriptions in this way. This amounts, to. a considerable sum but does not apnea? in the exhibit of receipts and expenditures^ and. accounts in some measure for the- apparent small] receipts Qifedited to stock, collections. Some subscribers have not paid their assessments —are delinquent in part, but generally subscribers have paid with reasonable promptness.

On the day of March, 1870, stock of this company to the amount of $100,000 was issued to G. F. Cookerly, Mayor of Terre Haute, in exchange for 100 bonds of said city of the denomination of $1,000 each. These bonds were placed in the hands of Messrs. Winslow, Lanier Sc Co., of New York ior sale, and were by them sold for $85,000, less $1,13517, the interest on said bonds at 7 per centum from the date of sale to the day of July, 1870, at which time the bonds begin to draw interest.

Mr. Henry Bacon* chief engineer of the company estimates the cost of the construction of the road as follows Grading,, masonry and bridges.... $253,11 Cross 1jies 48,576 Laying track, distributing materials, etc 27,600 Qrounds, lands and drainages.. 15,0C Ballasting.. 20,000 Engineering and contingencies 36,382

Total 5400,673 To meet this expenditure,,. necessary to prepare the road bed and lay the iron, we have the following Stock subcriptions and donations: Citizens and County of Vermillion $224,605 Citizens and City of Terre Haute 175,500 T. H. & I. R. 60,000

Total $450,105

From this should be deducted the discount on the Terre Haute city bonds and a small amount for insolvent subscriptions

For iron and equipments, the engineer makes the following estimate For iron fish joints and spikes 5361,350 Equipments. 258,900

Total 5619,350

To provide for this the Directors have authorized the execution of the Company's first mortgage 7 per cent, gold bonds to an amount not to exceed $775,000. The bonds are being negotiated by the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company, of New York City, and it is believed the proceeds will furn ish ample means to complete and equip the road.

The work has thus far progressed as rapidly as we could have reasonably anti cipated. It has been done, in the most substantial manner. The light grades (not exceeding 26 7-14 feet to the mile at any point), and easy curves, will enable the Co. to carry freight, with profit, at very low rates. Thus it may be seen that this Company can defy the competition of any and all roads.connecting the block coal fields of Indiana with the iron mines of Lake Superior.

The Directors believe that our road will be completed- to its northern terminus by January 1, 1871. The gap (now only 35 miles) in the Evansville, Henderson & Nashville Railroad will be closed during the .month of September next. The Chicago & Danville Railroad is reported to be making fair progress, and its. managers promise its completion to Danville «by the close of the 'present year, thus making, with our road and the Evansville & Crawfordsville Railroad, a great through route from Nashville to Chicago. la view of the important connections this road will soon have, the productiveness of the country tlyough which it

asses,

and the coal and iron trade which mustr iaevitably command, it is not unreasonable to anticipate that the Evansville, Terre Haute fc Chicago Railway is destined to become one of the most important and profitable in the West.

MiCiERiflSfl:.—According to tiie ifelWitish prediction, the world is to be consumed by fire1 on the 10th of July. An exchange says: "Why not have it on the 4th, and enjoy a grand cosmopolitan, pyrotechnic display It would be a saving of tar barrels and bonfires." -j

SAVINGS BANK.—This very necessary institution seems to be increasing in public favor. A look at the books of the bank, shows that the deposits are steadily increasing, and under the management of J. S. Beach, we know everything will be done in the most economical and prudent manner. 5

PROF. OLCOTT requests us to say that^he is "in no way responsible for the notice of him, which we copied from the Madison Courier on Thursday. Being introducedto Mr. Garber, the gentlemanly editor of that paper, he simply spoke in genial terms of the State Normail School, and the'beauty and life .of TerW Haute.

Thus much 4s his offe ndi g—no more.

INSTITUTING AND INSTALLING—A PLEASANT AFFAIR.—Last night at Masonic Hall, Humboldt Lodge No. 42, F. fc M. was duly instituted, and the Officers installed by Robert Van Valzah, acting as proxy for Martin H. Rice, Grand Master of this State. The hall was filled With ladies and gentlemen, who had been invited to witness the ceremony, which is indeed interesting from beginning to end. About 9 o'clock, the officers elect and metnbers'of the new lodge entered the hall and immediately after prayer by the Chaplain the ceremony commenced. The following named gentlemen acted as grand officers

When the ceremony of installation had concluded, those in attendance partook of a collation which was served by the Lodge, and which consisted of cake, strawberries, &c. Some time was spent in a most agreeable and pleasant manner by the members of the order and the visitors. The Lodge starts off with fine prospects, and has quite a number of our most intelligent German citizens for members. We heartily wish the Lodge, and all concerned, prosperity and success.

DRY GOODS.—A little run around the city this morning convinced us of the large trade now being had in the dry goods line, and the power of printers' ink.

Starting at Ryce & Co's splendid sale rooms, we lound the clerks all busy waiting on numerous customers, each one seeming to have his hands full, and the store filled with eager buyers. Coming on to the old stand-by of Tuell, Ripley fc Deming, Jwe squeezed our. way through the mass of men and women,, and found all as busy as bees. From here we crowded our way into Foster Brothers, and found the ''big gun" swarming with customers, and goods going off in perfect railroad speed. Passing further on down, we come to the New York Store of Wit tenberg, Ruschaupt & Co. Every person who was not in the other stores, seemed to be here. Their extensive room was live ly—counters full of goods—clerks on the jump, and goods going off "like hot cakes." Truly Terre Haute is a great city for dry goods.

GRAND EXCURSION.—We learn that ar rangements have been made for a grand excursion over the St. Louis, Vandalia and Terre Haute Railroad on Wednesday, the 8th inst. The Governor of the State, Mayor and Common Counci 1 of Indianapolis, a delegation from the Indianapolis Board of Trade, and a large delegation of prominent citizens from this city, will go over the road. Yesterday the Council at St. Louis, held a meeting and appointed to receive the delegation. The train will go over the road on Wednesday and return on Friday. This will be a grand affair, and the opening of the road will be an important event in the .history of Terre Haute. :Vf!

DISSOLUTION.—By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that the firm of Barr, Gulick fe Berry has been dissolved, Mr. Barr retiring, from the firm on account of ill health. The business will be conducted, in future, by Messrs. Gulick and Berry, under the firm name of Gulick fe Berry. These gentlemen are energetic, and while we regret that Mr. Barr finds it necessary to retire from the firm, the business will still be in the haeds of polite gentlemen of energy and experience.

PLEASANTLY.—Everything at the picnic yesterday was pleasant and agreeable. Three trains were nsed in conveying the little folks to the Fair Grounds, and, although it was the largest assembly of children ever witnessed in Terre Haute, there was not an accident during the whole day.

The following is an extract from a letter recently received from Capt. McDonald, a well-known and highly respected citizen of this place, who has recently engaged in business in the coal regions of Clay county. It sufficiently explains itself, and I will only remark that it was entirely unsolicited and not written as a puff for the stove mentioned. s. R. HEWDKRSON.

"The stove surpasses our expectations. In fact, I would not sell it for three times what it cost me, if I could not get another like it, and as for the saving in fliel, it will more than pay for itself in one year, here where wood is no object. It would certainly pay for itself in a very short time where fuel is higher. My wife says that she would have no other stove now. One common coal bucket of coal will last all day and keep up a good fire, and as foebaking, it does all that is claimed for it and with one of the "American Broilers" we can have the finest broiled steaks that any person ever put a fork into. There is no smell or taste of &moke or coal about them. I would advise every person to buy a "Chicago" and and an "American Broiler" and they need have no fears but what they can have a "square meal" three times a day, provided they furnish the materials to get them up with.

Respectfully, J. P. MCDONALD. Id3wl
