Much logic and deque

tliplwa8ted in this country by the advocates of prohibition in what hm thus far been |a vain endeavor to suppress the sate of alcoholic Kquors—more's the pity. There can be little doubt that this cause, the criminality of this traffic, are the greatest disgraces of our civilization. Whoever may discountenance the theory of total prohibition, there it certainly not an intelligent man or woman in Terre Haute or in these United States who docs not believe that the business of rumseliing produce more misery, more pauperism, more desolate homes and more hapless human beings than all the other evils of the world combined. Whisky, a diabolical poison which has been aptly called "the devil in solution," is daily making homes of desolation in this very city.

It is not the purpose of thi*s article, how* ever, to elaborate on the baleful effects of the liquor traffic—these remarks are (simply introductory to the following statement of facts.

In a certain quarter of Terre Haute lives a family composed of the mother, father and several tittle children, the oldest of whom is not over fifteen yearn of age, who met with a most sorrowful occurrence Saturday night an incident which has thrown a dark ond permanent shadow across their borne and across their several lives. The name and street number of these people, out of consideration for the mother and her little ones, are withheld from the public. The former

fa is a good and sensible woman who naturally shudders at the possibility of «^^Wtho disgrace which has been brought her becoming known, and the latter,*wbo are attending the city schools, would be greatly chagrined if tue secret of tho stigma resting upon them were the property of their playmates.

When tins man ana woman were first married they reveled in the love of one another and in the possession of an ample allotment of this world's goods. The sunshine of happiness brightened their homes and children blessed their union.

him innttentive to the pleasures and

-*s needs of his family. He became wholly w7^Vnmiu^nl ^em,

but»

was worse,

'.tv *4 allowed whisky to drown his better self and not only wreck his fortune but transform him into a conscienceless husband and father. His Insobriety rendered him unfit for the duties of a man of family.

He was unable to hold a position any length of time owing to his profligate habits, and of course failed to make provision for those dependent upon him for clothing and food.

For the reasons stated he was compelled to relinquish a position here in the city not long since, and his oldest boy, not over fifteen years of age,stepped up to the post whore his father had stood and has since, for the sake of his mother and his younger brothers and sisters, maintained it like the noble little hero that he is. He rises at 4 o'clock In the morning to go to his work and is notrelicved until 6 o'clock in the evening. It to. said that his little brothers do chores at ocld intervals, all they can find and all they are able to do, and that their father, whenever the opportunity presents itself, forces them to turn over to him their meager earnings which ho spends partially in the salons and partially among women of ill repute.

To all this, on Saturday night last, ho added the most shameful of all the acts in his category of culpable deeds,

A few days previously he had brought to his home a woman who was in search of a room. The room was rented to her .. and Saturday night the iniamous purpose of the man came to the surface. His *Twife alleges that he went in this woman apartment, being in a state of «mi-intox ication, and that he remained there until late. She says that finally, becoming anxious to know what detained him, she took up a position commanding a view of the interior of the room that she surveyed the proceeding therein until further forbearance waa impassible that she entered, denounced the woman as the miserable creature that she is, and rebelled against her home being thus defamed that then her husband began to heat) abuse ujwon her head and drove her out into the night, an outcast from her borne aad children, I

She fled with naught but alight shawl about her shoulders to protect her from the bitter cold. She knocked at a friend, ly door and it was opened.

THE RAGING ELEMENTS.

PORTLAND, Ore., January 2fi.—The blockade on the Union Pacific is again virtually raised. The east bound trains started out from Lagrande yesterday afternoon. A "chinook" is blowing and the suow melting rapidlv. Superintendent Johnson said the Union Pacific has no fears of lanlslides or washouts and, barring snows!ides, no fear is felt of further interruption on that line._

Owing to the wires being doWh* there is no news from the blockade on the Southern Pacific. There have been some heavy snowslides in Crow Creek canyon and two bents of the bridge at Roseburg have been washed out.

A narrow escape of this was recently communicated direct to the writer. The lady was the wife of the medical officer attached to the —th regiment; she was stationed at — Island, where at the age of twenty-eight she was safely confined. Shortly after this she was walking out with an attendant when she was taken suddenly ill with a painful spasm of the heart—what appears to have been an attack of angina pectoris— and was conveyed indoors and propped up with pillows, suffering great pain, and although medical attendance was summoned, nothing was of avail, and she died —at least in the opinion of those around her. It was the custom there to bury at sundown any one who died during the day.

She would never have lived to tell the story but for an accident, which happened in this way: Her nurse, who was much attached to her, was stroking her face and the muscles of her jaw, and presently declared she heard a sound of breathing. Medical assistance was summoned and the mirror test applied, but the surface was undimmed. Then, to make sure, they opened a vein in each arm, but no blood flowed. No limb responded to stimulus, and they declared that the nurse was mistaken, and that the lady was dead beyond doubt.

Loxnoar, January 27.—The gales con-1 SECI'ME* TJIJE c.* TI. tinned with increasing strength and ve-p^ loeity in the southern portion Of E»g*1 The Eaatern llliaol* Directory ttald to land and Wales to-day. Menai Strait, in Wales rendered impassible by the fury of the gale. Many sailors havejeen swept overboard and drowned*

QTRKKJTSTOWIF, January 27.—The westerly hurricane now prevailing is of unprecedented severity. The sea has caused much damage to the town, A number of small craft have been swamped,. Oatward bound tine steamers report fearful weather in the Irish Channel. The bark Sidlaw from Pisagna, encountered hurricanes for ten days and lost her first mate by drowning.

SAX FRANCISCO, Cal,, January 27.— The snow blockade on the Central Far cific and California & Oregon roads is still on. In general the rain and snowstorms in the northern portion of California have ceased, but whether or not the pleasant weather will last until the blockade is raised can not be foretold. The warm rains that have fallen in the northern points is shifting southward but the storm is much less violent and the amount ofanow melted on the mountains is therefore less. Bain has fallen in the San Joaquin Valley as far south as Los Angeles and San Diego, but so far as now known little damage tias resulted. Tile rainfall in the neighborhood of this city the past two days was so heavy that small w&ahouts are reported on all sides. No trains are running on the Southern Pacific coast road. For two or three iays at least, the Southern Pacific Company will carry on its business by using two boats between here and Sacramento, which will give San Francisco connection with Los Angeles and Mew Orleans, and with the Eastern cities over the Atlantic & Pacific roads.

DENVER, Colo., January 20.—The windstorm on the divide which blew the Rio Grande & Santa Fe psssenger trains from the track at Monument, late yesterday afternoon, has subsided. The wiud was BO strong that the coaches were lifted from the tracks and carried ten or fifteen feet from the tracks and thrown upon their sides. Several passengers were slightly bruised and cut with glass, but none seriously urt.

The fire which was started on Cheyenne mountain near Colorado Springs last night, and threatened to burn the Grove of Helen Hunt Jackson, has been extinguished,

PREMATURE BURIAL.

The Awful Possibility Made Evident by a Personal Experience. In view of the many strange nervous, cataleptic, and kindred conditions which are so common nowadays it is not unreasonable to call attention to tho possibilities, which would seem occasionally to occur, of premature burial.

But the nurse persisted in her belief and in her attentions, and did succeed in establishing a sign of life. Then mustard applications to her feet and to the back of her neck, and burnt feathers applied to her nostrils, which she remembers burning her nose, completed her return to consciousness. -Tocsin.

"f'fewi? ui PmW«l.

EVANSVILLE, Ind., January 27.—Rumors of the deal by which D. J. Mackey is to become general manager of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad, and that road and the Evanaville & Terre Haute are to be virtually consolidated, are confirmed sufficiently to consider them accomplished, if the arrangement is ratified in New York this afternoon by the C. & E. I. directory, the E. & T. H. directory in that city having already ratified. The principal officers of the E. & T. H. are out of this city and will be for several days, but no doubt is felt among railroad men and financiers that the so-called Mackey system will hereafter embrace the Chicago & Eastern Illinois system, and with extensions now in progress will radiate direct from this city to Louisville, St. Louis, Chicago and Cincinnati, and by a bridge across the Ohio river to be built above here in the near future, will make important southern connections.

A private telegram from New York says, at a meeting of the E. & T. H. directory on Saturday the deal was ratified and all that now remains is for the C. & E. I. directory to approve of it.

A prominent railroad man in a position to know says that the terms of the consolidation call for a division of the consolidated stock and bonds in the ratio that they bear each other in the aggregate in both roads. This will give the Chicago & Eastern Illinois people the controlling interest of the consolidated property, but it is stated that Mr. Mackey and associates have secured an interest in the Chicago & Eastern Illinois road large enough with their holdings in the Evansville & Terre Haute road to give them a majority of the consolidated properties.

The deal completes a great north and south trunk line from the lakes to the Ohio river under one management, and there can be no doubt that two important events will quickly follow, namely— the completion of the Ohio Valley Road to Nashville and the speedy construction of the Evansville & Chattanooga Railroad. With these two accessories, and with a connection into Cincinnati already provided for in the place of the Evansville & Richmond road, Mr. Mackey will have St. Louis, Peoria, Chicago and every important city on the Ohio as a feeder, practically taking possession of the entire Middle, Western and Northwestern states.

A private telegram was received here this afternoon stating that the C. & E. I. directory had ratified Mr. Mackey's election as President, and that all terms had been successfully agreed upon.

NEW YOUK, January 27.—[Special.J— Central and South American advices up to January 15 are received, as follows: A slight earthquake shock was fait in San Jose and throughout Costa Rica on the night of January 7th. No serious damage was done, though the shock waa of some forty seconds duration.

The damage done to the Costa Rica railways by the recent landslides and washouts is estimated at $25,000.

M. J. Kelly, an American representing the English syndicate, has bought for a term of years the monopoly. p|^„the salt market of Ecuador.

The Ecuadorian government' proposes to establish shortly in Guaya-Oiel a national Pawn Shop or Trust and Loan ifcuik to relieve tho poorer classes now at the mercy of local usurpers. Typhoid fever is epidemic in LaPace, Boliva. The death rate is terrible and local physicians have thus far been utterly unable to control it.

The Onisepinicha Indians, a fierce tribe of the department of San Bastolenna, Ecuador, have gone on the warpath and have massacred many of their white neighbors, sparing neither women nor children. A large force of soldiers has been ordered against them by the government with instructions to exterminate them.

All arc familiar with the manner in which dates in our markets are put up. There are several kinds known to commerce, the most important being "FartT and "Persian." The former comes principally from Arabia, and the latter, of course, from Persia. Green peas—green peas wore not used as food to France until the middle of the sixteenth century. Some years later their edible qualities found approbation in England. Cabbage—the cabbage was highly esteemed ,by the Egyptians, and was the first '•Bourse" of all their repasts.

Afternoon.

WASHINGTON, January25.-—Special.}— The Worlds Fair Committee held a meeting this afternoon and after some discussion adopted the resolution as prepared by the sub-committee yesterday, directing tho latter to prepare a bill or bills for exposition, including all details except that of the site, which shall he left vacant for decision by the House. This was adopted by vote of four yeas to three nays. Springer. Hilt and Bowman voting nay and Wilson, Flowers and Frank voting yea. The committee then adjourned subject to call of the chairman. Hilt will introduce in the House at the first opportunity a resolution increasing the committee to thirteen and providing a ballot in the House on the site before the bill is framed.

The sub committee of the exposition co.-nmitte of the house held a meeting this morning and began the work of framing an exposition bill. They draftedit largely from bills offered by various cities and completed a rough draft of eight sections of the bill and were considering the ninth, which relates to a financial scheme when they adjourned. This feature of the bill as blocked out by the committee provides for a commission of two members appointed from each state and others from the citv in which the exhibition shall be held to manage the exposition and makes this commission an incorporated company authorised to issue $20,000,000 worth of stock, which is to be taken in part by the state or city in which the exposition may dually be located, though what proportion the government will guarantee is not yet named. The sub-committee will meet to-morrow for work on the bill which on completion will be referred to the committee for consideration before being presented to the House.

^STAFF'S CANNING MACHINE. by John A Remarkable Contrivance

T. Staff.

John T. Staff has on exhibition at his block on Third street a new canning machine—one of his own invention. The machine represents mouths bf patient work and stands now a perfect piece of mechanism. It consists of an upright cooker into whieh corn, hominy or other article to be canned, is conducted through an opening in the top. Within are several stirrers which are made of hollow tubing and revolve in opposite directions. Steam is conveyed into the stirrere from beneath the cooker. The top of the cooker is on hinges and made so that it can be thrown back. At the base of the cooker in front is a projecting pipe, fitted with several valves which are operated by means of a lever. At the same stroke of the lever one of the valves opens and a can beneath is filled, and another can shoved tinder the other opening. Cans are conducted: to the machine through several Wooden tubes. With the machine a man and boy can fill 40,000 cans per day. The machine is built upon entirely new principles and combines speed aud efficiency.

The parties who are out with subscrip-^ tion papers soliciting stock for the com-* pany that will own tho Terre Haute basef t~ ball team for the coming season met withr* fair success to-day and the prospects are good for a winning club.

Schneider was asked by a NKWS reporter this afternoon if he would manage the team. He replied that he could not say, as he had not yet signed with the club.

Having attended to the boys, Judge Mack turned his attention to the junk men, whom ho declared wore in a great measure responsible for the boys' conduct, and gave them to very positively understand that If they were found guilty of buying anything from the boys in the future some of them would be sent to the penitentiary. ,,

THE NEW CHRISTTAN CHURCH

The Plane of Archltcct Cosby Accepted by the Trneteee, The trustees of the Christian Church have accepted Architect Cosby's design for the rebuilding of the church. Mr. Cosby is the Indianapolis architect who bid on the work against J. A. Vrydaugh & Son. The design of the latter was much more beautiful, but was proportionately more es pensive. The plans for the remodelled church call for an extension of the south wall twenty-five feet to the south and for tho addition of two L's, one on the east and one on the west side of the church which will increase the width of tha church nlueteen feet.

The floors will remain the same as st present, but the front of the church will be considerably changed and will be much more beautiful. All of the windows will be of cathedral glass and there will be oiie large entrance on the east side. There wilfalso be a smaller entrance on the west side.

The seating capacity of the church proper will be increased to (100 and the tarrangement of the seats will be greatly changed. Opera chairs will be substituted for the pews now In use and they will be arranged In a serai-circle around the pulpit which will bs removed to the

west side of the church. Tbe arrange-. ment of the new chairs will lie such that f** no one of them will be over forty-two is feet from the speaker. Architect Cosby estimates the total cost of the improve-mt-nts at $7,000 and says that the work will begin as early in the spring as the material can be procured. He thinks that the remodeled church wiil be the prettiest structure of the kind in the city and indeed the design is very handsome.
