City Engineer Strout presented a petition signed by sixteen prominent citizens, asking the Council to make an alJovvance of three hundred or more dollars to a

hi him to publish a map of the city of Terre Haute. His Honor, the Mayor, suggested that the eity take one hundred of the maps— that Mr. Strout had agreed to let the city have them for §3 "each—that the maps would cost Mr. Strout about $8.00.

The matter was referred to a select committee after some considerable discussion. Messrs. Cookerly, Forrest and Peddle were selected as that committee.

At this point Mr. Dowling suggested that the city had a little investment already that needed looking after, referring to the ordinances which were contracted to be printed at this office that lie wanted to see the ordinances printed before he left the world, or words to that effect.

Quite a discussion arose here in which the blame was shuffled off on the poor printers, all of which is explained in another column.

REPORTS.

Mr. Dowling, from the Committee on Streets and Bridges, reported on several matters of minor importance.

Mr. Forrest, from the Special Committee, reported that the hanging of a lire alarm bell in the Third Ward cost £174.90, and asked further time for the purpose of getting a reduction on the costs.

Mr. J. Bartness petitioned the Council for the privilege to erect a*stand on the east side of the public square and erect a roof over the same, for the purpose of selling medicine. On motion of Mr. Forrest, which was seconded, the Mayor was authorized to act on the petition as he might think proper.

preseiitea tne roliow-

ing resolution in regard to the contemplated Terre Haute & Bloomiield Railroad which were unanimously adopted

view of a meeting of those friendly to Jthe consturction

of a railroad from

Terro Haute to Klootnfield, in Greene county

Indiana, on the 8th instant, this

Council deems it respectful that this mu

nicipal

body should bo represented at said

meeting (for consultation only, and not to vote), and to securo that object, and a proper interchange of opinion, we resolve—

J. That Mayor Cookerly and Councilman llager and Forrest be appointed to attend said meeting on behalt of this Council.

That in the opinion of this body, saiu proposed railroad should be constructed on the most eligible and convenient route, looking especially to the productiveness of the country through which it passes its capacity to furnish abundant freights and profitable business, disregarding the

of neighborhood and local claims,

and giving hope that there shall be reasonable returns for any investment made by the city in the stock of the same. 3. That the abundant transportation of iro.i ore, block coal, lumber, stone, and the various productions of the farm, with a reasonable liopo of Southern railroad connections, at no distant day, for passenger trallic, form the chief motion for any city subscription to the stock of the proposed road, and to secure these advantages to the country, no route should be adopted which does not offer guarantees tor the accomplishment of these objects. 4 That in any subscription to the capital stock of tho proposed railroad company, on tho part of the city, it is the duty of the City Council to secure for the people of Terre Haute, on whoso authority alone tho bodv acts, a guarantee that Its contributions" shall not bo needlessly used in partially completing the line of road fin•illy adopted, and that none of the contributions of the city shall be expended in paying for the right of way, or in constructing any portion but a continuous railrqfldrstnrting from or near the city of Terre Haute, and ending at Bloomiield, in Greene county. 5. That lie proposed railroad, to be prosecuted with success, must securo the friendly co-operation and the financial aid of the citizens of Vigo, Clay and Greene counties, and in such proportions as will manifest their earnestness in the enterprise. 6. We believe a regular organization, under the railroad law, to be essential to the final success of the enterprise, in order that subscriptions to its stock can be rightfullv and legally made, and that whenever

thousand dollars of private

subscriptions, responsible and bona fide, shall bo actually made, the City Council will add its subscription of one hundred thousand dollars, but not before, this having been the condition of the pledge heretofore given on behalt ot this Council.

RESOLUTIONS.

By Mr. Dowling: That the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Company be authorized to place an additional trackacross Third street, at the infection of Canal street, the same to be done under the direction of the City Engineer, and that the grade of the street, as established heretofore, shall not be changed in any manner. Concurred in.

PROPOSALS.

Bids were "opened for the grading of South Sixth street, and grading and graveling the same, as follows:

We think we do.

Some city editors would not object to such "filling up" articles !—Journal. The city editor of the Journal throws out a pretty broad hint to have his contributors undertake to "fill him up," which would be a most discouraging undertaking.

THE BARTINE COMBINATION. The entertainment given by .this popular combination at the Theatre Comique last evening, was largely attended, as usual, and a first-class variety entertainment greeted those present to their entire satisfaction, as was demonstrated by the enthusiasm manifested, and the number of encores with which the artistes were greeted. New faces will appear next week. Meanwhile there will be a change of programme each evening.

AMUSEMENT FOR NEXT WEEK.—Let it not be forgotten that one of the most enjoyable entertainments will begin at the Opera House next week by the popular troupe of Messrs. Ijeake & Dickson, with Miss-Fannie Janauschek, the famous German tragedienne, as "star." This renowed and popular star will appear in the character of Mary, Queen of Scott*, Deborah and Lady Macbeth, and will be supported by Mr. F. G. Robinson and the entire company of Messrs. Leake & Dickson, which is of itself first-class. Our citizens can justly expect, and without fear of disappointment, thatMonday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights of next week will be nights long to be remembered with a thrill of pleasure by all who attend the Opera House. Miss Janauschek is most enthusiastically complimented in such papers as tlie Cleveland Herald and the Albany, New York, Evening Journal, by which we are assured that we are to be favored with such an entertainment as is seldom the fortune our citizents to attend in this special line.

A.X old bachelor editor thus, in his epite, comments on a recent moonlight incident: "We left, our sanctum at midnight last night, and on our way home we saw a young lady and gentleman holding agate on its hinges. They were evidently indignant at being out so late, and we saw them bite each other several times."

THE proprietor of a hotel was bustling about the other morning with twenty things to do, when some one asked him why he didn't call up his waiter. "T shan't call him as long as can help it," replied he, "for when he is in bed I know where he is, but after he is up, I don't know where to find him."

IT appears from the report of the Librarian of Congress that the library contains a total of 197,668 bound volumes, besides about 30,000 pamphlets. [The operation of the new copyright law has increased the library during the past year to an unusually large number, viz: Books, 274 pamphlets and periodicals, 3,140 musical compositions, 2,891 engravings, photographs and chromos, 1,175 prints, 1,426 maps and charts,146 total, 11,512. Upwards of5,000copy rights hfcve been recorded in the Librarian's office during less than six months.

[Special Dispatches to the Terre Haute Gazette.] POUOHKEEPSIE, N. Y., Feb. 7.—The

accident on the Hudson River Railroad last night, at New Hamburg, was caused by an oil train bound north catching fire, aud setting on fire the bridge at New Hamburg also. An express train came up and ran on to the bridge, which gave way under the weight, when the train went down in a jumbled mass—locomotive, express car, baggage car, Puliman car and a sleeping car, all went down with a crash.

POUGIIKEEPSIE, Feb. 7.—The dispatch sent from here this morning incorrectly stated the cause of the disaster on the Hudson River Railroad. An oil train was bound south, and when passing New Hamburg one axle of an oil car broke and dragged along the ground till it reached the drawbridge, when, striking the timber, it threw the car olf the track and upon the up-track, and in the face of tlue second Pacific Express.

An attempt was made to stop the express which was approaching, but there was not time enough, and it struck the oil car, fragments of which were scattered in every direction. The oil at once ignited, enveloping the express train in flames.

The express train was composed of a locomotive, one baggage car, one express car and five or six sleeping cars.

The locomotive was at once hurled into tlie river, the engineer killed, and the baggage and express cars were piled on top of the engine. At the same time the Chicago sleeping car was one sheet of flame, and though the most desperate attempts were made to rescue the passengers it is said that no one got alive. Two of the other sleeping cars next to it were also wrapped in flames, but the passen-

HI icu

minutes afterwards the whole structure fell in, carrying with it the Chicago car, and burying it and its inmates out of sight under the water and among the ruins of the locomotive and express cars. This terrible result settled all doubts as to the probability of rescuing any one, dead or alive and then there was nothing to do until daylight.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., Feb. 7.—The following are the names of the persons killed by the railroad accident, as far as known:

David Simmons, engineer Dr. Naucreed, of New York Vosburg, conductor of sleeping car James Stafford, of New York, baggage master Vosburg, porter sleeping car Rev. Morrill Fowler, wife and two children, of Batavia, N. Y. Mr. Benedict, editor Cleveland Herald, and wife.

In the pockets of Vosburg, the conductor, was found a memorandum of the berths taken, containing the names of Lowell, Fowler, Pease, of Boston Curry, Sorhis, Germanuel, of Rochester Dr. Naucreed, of New York, and Rothaland Forbush. Nineteen bodies have been recovered, but none have been found since 12 o'clock. The report that 24 bodies had been found is untrue.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 7.—Dispatches received here this evening state that Geo. S. Benedict, one of the proprietors of the Cleveland Herald, and his wife were killed by the accident at New Hamburg, and that their bodies have been recovered.

CHIDAGO, Feb. 9.—It-is claimed by friends here that Mr. E. Wood and daughter, of Irvington, were to take passage for this city on the ill-fated Hudson river train last night.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—The city is considerably excited to-day from the painful rumors afloat that there were several citizens of Chicago on board the sleeping car which was burned and sunk on the Hudson River Railroad last night. Among the passengers on that unfortunate train was Mr. John V. Farwell, the well-known merchant of this city, aud his wife.' A dispatch from Mr. Farwell announces the safety of both.

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 7.—The statement that the wife of George S. Bene* diet, of Cleveland, was killed with her husband at the Hudson River Railroad accident is untrue. She is safe and well in this city. Mr. Benedict's remains will be brought here for burial.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The annual allowance for clerks of Revenue Assessors has been reduced in the States named below as follows, beginning April 1:

Illinois, reduced $1,480 Indiana, $1,200 Iowa, §2,200 Michigan, $1,660

Wisconsin,

$1,540 Minnesota, no change.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 7.—A colored man

Robinson, inflamed by jealousy

toward the rival lover of a girl to whom he was attached, posted himself outside the colored church in Greenwood, near Locklard, Hamilton county, Ohio, last night, aud when the congregation was dispersing, fired into the crowd promiscuously, producing the greatest consternation and inflicting serious injuries on the four men named, Masou, Copeland and Busby, also the wife of Busby. Mr. Busby was shot through the head and

arm and badly hurt. The monster was provided with a carbine and two six cylindered revolvers, all discharged but two ball. He resisted at first but was finally taken in custody by the officers. The people are greatly enraged at the infamous attempt lit wholesale murder, and fears are felt tnat the friends of the injured parties wilf have revenge.

Later accounts from the bloody aftair near Lockland, Ohio, state that Robinson was jealous of his wife, and suspecting Copeland, laid in wait for him at the church. Benjamin Mason, a trustee of the church, was shot while trying to dissuade Robinson from his purpose of raising trouble. Both are dangereusly hurt.

The statement that Busby was hurt was a mistake Mrs. Busby was injured by astray shot from Hillyard Armstrong, who fired at Robinson when he ran.

PITTSBURG, PA., Feb. 8.—This morning a fire broke out in Smith & Porter's locomotive works, South Pittsburg. Owing to a deficient supply of water the entire block between Third, Bingham and Carson streets, were burned. Twelve locomotives were burned, nearly all light weight, and were used for coal mining purpose*. Twenty-three private houses were burned. Total loss $150,000. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary.

The veto is upon the ground that the claim of the contractors was in consequence of arise in the price of labor and materials after the contracts were made which would not have arisen if due dilligance had been used in the prosecution of the work.

House.

Mr. Cessna made a personal explanation in reference to his connection with the Chorpening case, and contended that it was not true that the claim had been examined, and rejected on its merits,by Postmasters General Blair, Holt or Randall. They had refused to consider it, as it had been decided by their predecessor, Postmaster General Brown. He asserted positively the belief that that part of the money due Chorpening was still unpaid, and declared most solemply he had neverreceived or agreed to receive, nor had ever been offered in this case or any other case a single farthing for any official aet of his, except the salary attached to the position which he occupied, and contended it was not true that the claim had been examined, and rejected on its merits by Postmaster Generals Blair, Holt or Randall. They had refused to consider it, as it had been decided by their predecessor, Postmaster General Brown.

Mr. Hill asked unanimous consent to make a statement. Messrs. Dawes and Farnsworth also desired to obtain the floor in reply to Cessna.

Mr. McGrew objected, and insisted on the regular order of business. Mr. Dawes hoped that there was no arrangement between Messrs. McGrew and Cessna, by which all reply was excluded.

Mr. McGrew subsequently withdrew his objection in order to let him make a statement, but Mr. Arnell refused it.

Mr. Giles asked leave to offer a resolution calling on the Secretary of War and Secretary of the Navy for information as to sales of arms, munitions, ordnance and ordnance stores since the 15th of July, 1870 whether such sales were made at public auction or privately, or without advertisement or competition, &c.

Mr. Arnell objected, and called the regular order of busineess. Mr. Stevenson presented a resolution of the Cincinnati City Council protesting against the Newport bridge, and praying for its modification, so as not to obstruct the navigation of the Ohio river.

Mr. Coburn from the Committee on Public Expenditures reported a bill providing that no accounts or claims which have been adjusted by accounting officers of the Government shall be reopened without authority specially given by law, and forbidding accounting officers to act on any account or claim which shall have not been presented within six years from the date on which it originated, unless the person having the claim was an infant, a femme convert or a lunatic.

The second section forbids any person who is, or has been an officer, clerR or

T+r

employe in the public service, to act as agent or attorney in the prosecution of claims before the Department, or any branch thereof, in which he had served, or given information or furnish knowledge acquired by him officially in aid of claims against the United States. After the discussion the bill was amended so as to provide that it shall not apply to any claim of loyal men arising in States formerly in insurrection, which by operation ol law could not be finally settled and adjusted, and that all other claims shall be presented within six years from the passage of the act. Section second was amended so as to apply only to persons who had been employes of the Government within three years. The bill as amended thus passed.
