Additional Local Jfews.

TOM LANGFORD will receive to-mor-row morning a choice lot of oysters in the shell. They will not last many minutes after their arrival, and any parties wanting a share of them will do well to call and leave their orders this evening.

A BOARD OF TRADE would be of very great benefit to Terre Haute at this time. No other organization could do as much towards securing manufacturing establiihments for our city, and drawing hither both capital and labor.

ONLY A BUMMER.—A young lady who wa9 accompanied to church on Sunday night by a nice youug man, was inquired of Monday who her "beau" was. "He is no beau of mine," she said, "he's only a bummer for a Cincinnati shoe house." She meant a drummer.

POOR people may well shudder, as they look upon their scant coal and wood piles. According to Greeley's almanac, the ground-hog made his appearance, but was frightened back to his hole by the sunshine, so now we are to have six weeks more of cold weather, unless it should moderate in the meantime. It is to be hoped that wood and coal dealer* may be moderate,' even in view of this action on the part of his ground hogship.

OUR citizens who kave been growling about the cold weather we have experienced here for the past few days can take comfort and alleviate their miseries to some extent by the consoling reflection that it has been a great deal colder in Chicago, at which place the mercury dropped down to eighteen below zero Monday morning. The hydrants refused to work five days ago, and at last accounts they had not been induced to come to terms.

A BARREL of buckwheat flour exploded recently at Keokuk. Iowa. A man ot science calmly says that the buckwheat was probably wet, and being confined iu the barrel an alcoholic vapor was generated, which was ignited as the lid was taken of} and a lighted caudle brought into contact. That is all very well, but whom or what can we trust when the staff of life goes back on us like gunpowder, or nitro-glycerine, and a barrel of slapjack timber tnrns out a self-con-stituted infernal machine?

LIKE blood, the evening paper claims a "circulation."—Journal. Right, gents! and like young blood generally, it not only ha9 a "circulation," but an active circulation. It has none of that poor, sluggish circulation, which old age brings with it, and which is just now so badly afflicting our neighbor.

A GENTLEMAN informs us that in the Fast there is more talk about Terre Haute than any other city in the West.—Journal.

From the very fact that there is more iu the surroundings of Terre Haute to commaud the attention of Eastern men who have capital to invest, and are seeking remunerative investment for it. If men who manufacture iron can make fortunes in Pittsburg in ten years' time, with the same amountofcapital invested and euergy used in this city, so favorably located to the block coal and iron ore, and so well traversed by railroads running in every direction, they could make the same amount of money in a much less time. There is noplace on the continent so favorably situated for manufacturing iron as Terre Haute and its neigborhood, says Prof. Foster. This being the fact, it will riauire but a short time for the keen eyes of capitalist to find it out. They will flock here, an.i in. a few years the light of the blast furnaces will illumine this city at night, and will the smoke of hundreds of manufacturing establishments almost darken it by day.

The Wallace Sisters.

On to-morrow evening this mammoth and superb combination will appear before our citizen?. The troupe is pronounced by the Eastern critics to be the fiuest of the kind on the road, and wherever they have appeared have been made therecipieutof a perfect ovation. At Fort Wayne long before the advertised time of opening, Columbia street was fairly blocked up with people. At 7:30 P. M. -there was only standing room, and at 7:45 the ticket office had to be closed. At LaFayette hundreds were turned away on the opening night, and on the second and third days every seat in the house was taken by 9 o'clock in the morning, the houses being composed of the elite of LaFayette. Terre Haute Is pronounced by competent judges to be the best show town in the State for meritorious troupes, and we expect to see our fine Opera House tested to its utmost capacity. A splendid bijl is prepared for each evening, and the eui tertainmentsare

ROUGH.—A gentleman, not entirely disconnected with, newspaper interests, had the misfortune to telescope his hat yesterday, and being of an ingenious and economical turn of mind, he straightened it out by pasting strips of pasteboard on the inside, and set ic by the stove to dry. A pet kitten, in an inlirm state of health, roosted in the hat, and this morning our friend discovered that he had no further use for hat or kitten. The hat has been donated to the Benevolent Society, and he kitten, stiff aad stark, lies in the alley, staring with stony eyes at the empyrian vault.—Ind. Journal.

Was the kitten a black one If so, it should have been skinned, for when you get a good thing, save it.

AN ITEM FOR SHOW GOING FOLKS.— The Indianapolis Mirror contains an item that will prove of interest to show going people, and the paragraph it is certain, will apply with equal force to Terre Haute: "The era of high prices and reckless expenditure produced by the war must come to an end in the musical world as well as elsewhere. The 'reserved seat' business is worthy of some attention. When a man buys a ticket of admission to a place of amusement it ought to entitle him to a seat, aud that seat ought not to be in the meanest part of the house where no man would willingly sit. At an entertainment given here recently, i»i lie-tenths of the seats were marked reserved, although many of them were unsold and unoccupied. It is what is vulgarly called 'a gouge garme,' and we are glad to know that it did not succeed in driving many persons into payment of additional money. It is by no means certain that the entire reserved seat system is not an imposition when an extra charge is made. A hotel or restaurant keeper might as well charge a man for a dinner and then charge him extra fork seat at the table.

Terrible Railroad Accident Near Alton Junction.

Eight Passengers Killed and Many Wounded.

&c.,

&C.9 &C.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 7.—A terrible railroad accident occurred this morning on the Rockford, Rock Island & St. Louis R. R. near Alton Junction. A passenger train collided with a freight train in a cut and took fire immediately. Eight persons were killed and burnt, and several more seriously wounded. Particulars not known at this hour (2 P. M).

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—The number of deaths in the city last week was 28, of which 24 were from small-pox. This disease is decreasing aud is confiued mostly to foreign families located in barracks and tenement houses:, many of which are crowded. Vaccination is still being pushed in the schools, and its good effects are manifested daily.

The papers are discussing the attitude of the British press on the Alabama claims. They generally agree that there is no cause for the frantic appeals of those journals. It is thought the-treaty was intended to cover damages, and having been adopted cannot be resigned.

The woman suffrage champions here are still in aptive preparation for the annual meeting of the Western Association, at Bloomington, on the 13th and 14th.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—The Great Western Insurance Company appeared before a court in this city yesterday and admitted their insolvancy. The court appointed Mr. Hooker, Secretary of the company, as assignee. The company has about $25,000 assets in mortgages, bonds, &c. The losses area little over $500,000.

NEW YORK, Feb. 7*—The reception ot the New England Society took place last night, with a very large attendance. Over three hundred guests, present, including ex-Governor and Mrs. Morgan, exGovernor Bullock, Major-General and Miss Burnside, Governor and Mrs. Jewett, of Connecticut, and a number of others officially distinguished.

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—The Custom House Investigation Committee continued last evening. Leonard Levey, an importer of human hair, testified concerning cases of human hair, by which he lost largely owing to the carelessness of officials at public stores, who allowed the cases to be exposed and become almost worthless. This occurred repeatedly, aud large quantities of hair vras missing from his cases sometimes.

George Weigneire, storekeeper, testified that Commissioner Murphy appointed him, asi he wanted him to work for him politically in his Ward. He re« ceived a salary, but did no work. Murphy said he could give me a place that would not require much work. It is a common thing in our way for the Custom House men to give their time and influence of their party. I was removed, because I \oted against a particular ticket run by Murphy at theCouuty Convention. The Committee waited till this forenoon,

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—The Committee of Seventy met last night and adopted resolutions stating that the new charter presented by them to the Legislature expressed their best judgment in its support and has their fullest approval. The committee also adopted a resolution urging merchants and others to refuse to sign the petitions for tt#conti nuance of any of the existing departments of the city government.

NEW YORK, February 7.—A Herald special from London says, Alabama claims continue to be discussed in newspapers, but journals which have hitherto^ maintained a position of outright opposition to American demands have suddenly become quite silent. Popular excitement was certainly fostered by the Gladstone Government with a view of divesting the attention of the public from the immediate consideration of home topics of uuknown import to the interests of the Ministry.

The London Telegraph complains that the English press is not sufficiently distinct and vehement in its denunciation of the American case, and states its conviction that America will withdraw its extraordinary demands. ±.z-

The London News says that the intiDduction of "the subject of compensation for the indirect losses to the Americans was a misunderstanding, and unless it is rectified negotiations cannot proceed.

The Times says that England disclaims to stand on her defense agaiust the withdrawal of Americans from claims of which she first understood to be the condition of that argument. The Times preserves the tone of moderation iu treating the subject. It depreciates the intemperate denunciation of the Treaty of Washington. ]l\. i'ffu

NEW YORK, February A Washington special to the Times says Englaud's communication to the United States GoVernment, alluded to in the Queen's speech, consists, jso far as this Government is yet advised, of a note from- Earl Grauville to General Schenck, the' substance of which the latter communicates by teleftiaph. The note is not a demand

nor even request that they be withdrawn—(the claims of indirect damages.) It merely gives the American Government an opportunity of withdrawing that part of the case which is the subject of misinterpretation, but there is no demand by the English Government that such action should be taken.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—Secretary Fish has prepared an answer to the request of the British Government that the American claims for indirect damages be withdrawn. The substance of the answer is that the United States Government, to the best of its understanding, has consistently adhered to the position it has maintained from the beginning. No part of the case submitted to the Geneva tribunal, can under any circumstauces now foreseen, be withdrawn or modified except on advice of the counsel of the United State before that tribuual. Should the arbitrators upon demurrer of the British representatives, refuse to entertain claims for other than a direct and explicit loss and damages, the United States are already bound by its conclusions, aud Great Britain is equally bound by an opposite determination.

THE WIFE

JAMES FISK,

JR.

How and Where She Lived. The excitement attending the Fisk murder has nearly died out. It was nearly as great here, where the deceased was so well known, as in New York. Mrs. Fisk has resided in a stylish house in Chester Square, for some years, and thither her husbaud has generally come once a week, arriving by the Fall River Line Sunday morning, and returning to New York Sunday night. It became a matter of inquiry, a year or two since, wliether Fisk himself lived iu Boston or New York, the inquiry being instigated by the internal revenue officials, and it was finally cyphered down lhat his legal residence was in New York, and in that city he was called upon to make his iucome return-!. When he was in the dry goods firm of Jordan, Marsh & Co., he and his wife boarded at the Tremont House. Subsequently, or perhaps it was while he was still connected with that firm, that he bmght the house in Chester Square. He aud Mrs. Fisk visited Kurope some years since, and Mrs Fisk, accompanied by her frieud, Miss Fanny Harrod, (who was a former school teacher in this city) and A. J. Pollard, Fisk's express agent here, made a second European tour last summer. There was no estrangement whatever between Mr. and Mrs. Fisk, as would have seemed natural. The latter has lived in expensive style, her husband furnishing the money. Her stylish carriage is well.kuown in our streets, and it is the gamem which the Colonel was wont to ride when he was here. In the course of his Sunday visits he transacted an immense amount of business, after a continuous levee at the house in Chester Square. It was currently reported years ago that the deceased had placed in trust for his wife a considerable sum of money, to guard either one or both against a "rainy day." This sum was variously estimated from two to three hundred thousand to a million dollars. The trustees were said to be well known Boston gentlemen. When Mrs. Fisk was recently iu Europe, a most extravagant article appeared iu an American journal published in Paris, describing the expensive wardrobe she was said to have purchased abroad. No queen was ever arrayed half so gorgeously as the fanciful writer sought to array Mrs. Fisk. How much truth there was in the article, which was extensively copied in this country, Bostonians have no means of knowing, for the lady dresses no more extravagantly than scores of our fashionable ladies, although she has always been remarkable for her taste aud elegance in dress. She has been a constant attendant at the theatres, and during the run of 'The Twelve Temptations" and the "Opera Boutfe," both of which were managed by her husband, she sat in a

rivate box night after night. Miss Pieris, of whom mention is made iu the Fisk-Mansfield correspondence, was a vocalist who sang, nightly in "The Twelve Temptations." She was a Jewess, and was currently reported to be one of Fisk's fiancees.

The Davenport Brothers Again Exposed. The notorious Davenport Brothers have been so frequently detected in their "spiritual" impostures that they must have become thoroughly accustomed to it by this time. The brothers are reported to have met with a warm reception at Ithaca thn other day. Some students of Cornell University, having a scientific turn of mind, provided themselves before going to the place of exhibtion with pyrotechnic balls containing phorphorus, so n»ade as to ignite suddenly with a bright light. During the dark seance*, when the Davenports purported to be, and as the audience supposed, they were bound hand and foot within their closet or cabinet, aud when the guitar was floatiug in the air and playing musically arouud, the aforesaid studenls struck their lights all of a sudden, and the spirits were found to be no other than the Davenports themselves, who were dodging about the stage, brandishing the guitars and playing the Ulties. The'music suddenly ceased, the committee declared the performance a humbug, and the players departed from Ithaca by the earliest train. i.t

The Spectroscope aud Steel Making. The spectrum analysis is likely\o become au important adjunct in the Bessemer process of making steel. The essential part of the operation is the burning of carbon oil out of cast iron by means of their blast. Owing to the continuance of the process the flame is the chief point of attention, for in its changes the akiiled workman finds the signal for stopping the blast. It is of the utmost importance that this should be done at exactly the right moment or the work is spoiled. Those accustomed to the process can tell pretty accurately by the inspection of the flame, but the use of the spectroscope makes the matter of exact scientific obset vation. The carbon line before distinct in the spectrum of the Bessemer flame suddenly becomes extinct, so that the exact instaut when the operation must cease is indicated.

From the Jackson (Tenn.) Whig and Tribune.

A Coon Playing (iho*t.

In North Jackson one night this week a pet coon wandered over to a neighbor's aud mounting a negro cabin while its inmates were sleeping, commenced tearing off shingles. One of the shiugles dropped in upoti the darkies and startled them into cou&ciousness. Just as they woke up the coon poked his head through the bole he had made in the roof, and the darkies observing his shilling eyes, rushed from the cabin in dishabille, and alarmed the neighborhood, proclaiming that a ghost with red eyes and flesh I ess bead, "had "come right down through the roof of the cabin and attempted to to seize him." An army of darkies cautiously returned with the frightened party*, and by moonlightdiscovered eoony comfortably enjoying himself upon the cabin roof. ~A

A Dead Lock, so to Speak. There is a slight difference existing between tbe proprietor of the Sherman House property, Col. T. B, McCarty, and the lessees thereof, Messrs. W. M. Hawkins ic Sons. It will be remembered a few days ago the latter gentlemen purchased the Terre Haute House, in Terre Haute, aud they will give up their lease of tbe Sherman, if tbe purchaser take the furniture in the house with it. Colonel McCacty will relieve the Messrs. Hawkins of the lease, but be don't want the furniture, his intention being, should he get the house, to refit and refurnish it entire. To whom the Colonel would entrust the keeping of the hotel is not known, but that is a matter of little moment, until the question of possession is determined. Messrs. Hawkins took charge of the Terre Haute House yesterday, and will continue to run both establishments until some definite action is taken..—ind. Journal.
