It was given oat here to-day by parties who are on the inside, that John G. Williams, vice president and general manager of the Vandafia, who has the matter of erecting a new union depot for Terre Haute under his charge, has so far succeeded in his mission as to choose one ont of five plans submitted by Hannaford & Co., the Cincinnati architects who designed our magnificent courthouse. Although tlie plans are not yet complete, TUB NBWS, first among the papers of this city, is able to give to its readers sometiling of the cost of the new structure, its location and when and by whom it will be built.

The cost of tlie depot-entire is to be $200,000, of which 8100,000 is to be expended on the depot proper, and $100,000 on tlie train sheds and baggage rooms. This is about one-half the cost of the depot at Indianapolis, which is one of the very finest in the world. The train sheds will be 700 feet in length on the'west and 500 feet south. The depot proper will probably be in the form of a Greek cross with the annexes to the east and west It will be three stories high, with a number of business offices on the third floor and thirteen rooms on the second floor belonging to the hotel. The entire lower floor will be tiled and will be provided with waiting rooms, bath rooms and every thing possible to provide for the convenience and comfort of the traveling public. The building will be of granite up to the second floor, brown stone to the third floor and red brick to the roof. It will be provided with a tower 200 feet high in which will probably be a clock. This will be the highest tower in the city, with the exception of the dome of the court house.

One of the most interesting and important facts that has yet come to tlie surface in this connection is that the Big Four is seriously considering the feasibility of running its trains into the new depot. This can only be done by condemning a right of way through certain property lying in the Immediate vicinity of the depot and this, it is said, the Big Four has about decided upon doing. Just how they intend to come into the depot is not known but a Big Four representative said to-day that if the company finally decided upon the step they were considering the cost of the right of way they want will be comparatively small. Up to the present time D. J. Maekey, president of the Mackey lin two of which enter tlie stumbling doesnot want to share

Terre Haute, has block. Mackey his portion of the expense of erecting so

ting

line a dcitot and has not yet consented to do so although he was consulted by Vice President Williams some weeks ago when the matter was first placed in tlie bands of tlie latter. 4

Tlie following outline of. the proposed structure will give an idea of hoW it will stand. Tlie location is at the crossing of the Vandalia with the Eastern Illinois near the corner of Tenth and Spruce streets. The depot will be built on the south side of the Vandalia track and west of the Eastern Illinois tracks. The trains on the E. A T. II. and E. & I. can ran into the depot by simply going one qnare further north over the Eastern llinois tracks. The Logansport division of the Vandalia will come in, as it does now, over the Eastern Illinois tracks. The Big Four, if it comes in, will condemn aright of way and come in over its own tracks. The Vandalia and Eastern Illinois will come in over their own trucks and the Terre Haute & Peoria will use the tracks of the former, as it does at present.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. Wtia the OMlhlalM ftr lite Varl«N Aomlmtlwu Are.

There area large number of Republican candidates for the nomination for the different county positions who feel hopeful and confident this afternoon only, to realize from the work of to-morrow's convention that promises of Support in a political contest are more cheerfully given than adhered to. The fight for the patronage of the delegates is on and is waxing as warm as the scorching hoat of tlie noon day sun. Out into the country, into the townships where the rural delegates hold forth, the smiling aspirants for office are wending their way so engrossed in the purpose of their visit, that unlike the balance of mankind just now, they do not heed or feel tlie extreme sultriness of this almost unendurable weather.

From the best information attainable, and judging from such indications as have thus fair made themselves manifest, it seems reasonable to assume that in the race for the judgeship of the Superior court George Kleiser lias the beet chance of being nominated. However, he lias formidable rivals in the jiersons of Judge B. E. RhoadB and Judge Egglestcn. It is generally accepted, however, that Mr. Kleiser will receive the nomination on account of his being more widely acquainted in the country and consequently standing a better Bhow of being elected. It will be remembered that he made what was considered a somewhat extraordinary race for the position of prosecuting attorney at one time in this county.

The candidates for the Circuit judgeship are, so far as known, S. C. Stimson ana Dave Henry. R. H. Catlin is also said to be in S3 the race, j$f$ his waTd-U believing that hi may be able to skate in by virtue of the hot fight between Stimson and Henry. With reference to which of the two latter have tlie better prospects there is not consonance of opinion. Some believe that Henry wil} receive the nomination on account of his universal popularity among the city delegates, while others think that Stimson will- be put in by the country vote. Of course tlie rural delegates can manage things about as they choose—there beingsixtyof them against forty-two from the city—but they will not have such a complete cinch in this as they had in the Democratic convention.

The candidates for the legislature have not as yet come to the front. James E. Piety, for prosecuting attorney, seems to have a rival for the nomination in the person of Tom Raymond. It is popularly supposed, however, while Haymond is said to be making inroads in Piety's support, that Piety will be chosen. As to the clerkship, there is little discussion regarding this nomination, John Warren being considered certain of a re-selection for the place. He has made a good clerk—everybody concedes that fact—and for this reason to oppose him for the nomination would very likely mean defeat.

For the sheriff's office the aspirants announged are Andrew J. Thompson (present city marshal), Xlarry Russell, Samuel M. Crandell, Scott Buigan and Web Casto. John Butler, present roundsman on the police force, is also spoken of as a favorable candidate. Among all those individuals scoring up for tlie word it is difficult to pick the winner. Suffice it to say that Russell is thought to have the poll. The candidates for auditor are Fred Piepenbrink, William R. Ray, F. W. Schmidt, W. C. Isbell, Fred Cornell and Mr. Crabb, of Otter Creek, the latter being the gentleman who waa made quite famous this neck o' the woods by his connection with the Ortli-Crabb contested election case. Orth, by the way, Democratic nominee for auditor, was the other party to that rather sensational affair. In the race for auditor, Piepenbrink is thought to have a good show. Cornell will probably be somewhat handicapped by the fact that in making the last real estate appraisement lie made some enemies, who charge him with not having been fair in his judgment as to values.

The candidates for recorder are E. A. Hess, Levi Hammerly, R. Garvin and Chris DemoresL the latter of Otter Creek, lless in the lead. Hammerly is objected to on account of his techiness about the office over which he presides. It is said that he entertains serious objections to allowing newspaper men or abstracters to come behind the counter. Garvin bases his claim for the position on his party work.

There are only two candidates-tor treasurer SCJ far as known. They are Edward A. Johnston, of tlie country, and a German by the name of Meyer, from the oity. This nomination, white a very important one, is not being liberally dis to-day. Dm. Hyde and Glover are up for

Last Night*

This morning the nineteenth annual commencement exercises of the Indiana State Normal School were carried out in Normal Hall in the presence of an ini mense and brilliant assemblage which filled not only every seat but the aisles and all available space. A very interesting programme of exercises was given consisting of rare selections of music uniformly well rendered, with original addresses and essays which wero well prepared, well delivered and above the average.

Miss Hattie Bardsley's soprano solo "Bright Star of Love," with violin obligate by L. *1 Wheeler, is deserving of more than passing mention. Miss Bardsley's voice is a pure sweet soprano, full ef expression, mellow and sympathetic, It is one of those voices, seldom heard, the tones of which not only catch the ear pleasantly but fall into the heart to become a pleasant memory.

That magnificent malechc. "Eine Soldaten Versannulung," or the

LAST NIGHT'S CELEBRATION. The Twenty-First A endemic Year Celebrated—The Speakers.

The elaborate and enjoyable exercises celebrating the completion of the Normal school's twenty-first academic year and commemorating the restoration of the building, library, etc, occurred at Normal Hall last evening. The crowd in attendance was not as large as it would have been had it hot been for the extreme heat and the fact that many of the students have left for their homes, yet the audience was by no means small. "Hozanna in the Highest," sung by a choir of students, introduced the exercises, and Rev. Dale having delivered the invocation, L. E. Wheeler favored the audience with a fine bass BOIO. President Pareons alluded briefly to the completion of the school's twenty-first academic year and to the destruction of the old building, in the place of which, thanks to the enterprise and liberality of Terre Hauteans, now stands a structure more convenient in its arrangement and more beautiful in its architecture. Dr. 35. T. Spottswood, having been the originator in the neral assembly of the measure providing for the establishment 6f a Normal School, was the first speaker. He said that years ago, while a member of the lower house he introduced a resolution instructing the committee on education to report a bill providing for a State Normal School, that the same was reported, but that Judge Rhoads deserved the

idge

honor of securing its passt^. Judge Rlioads was the next speaker and as he was limited to five minutes he hoped somebody would stop the clock. After a few humorous sallies of this nature he referred-briefly to the manner in which the passage of the Normal school bill wag secured. Colonel W. E. McLean followed him. He felt, in common with all the people of this city, a deep and abiding concern in the welfare of the Normal school. He had participated in the early legislation looking to the establishment of such a school and gave a clear, vivkl and eloquent review of its entire history. Dr. Barnalwia Ilohbs, one of the pioneers of the home, next spoke. His remarks were all concerning tlie early history of the institution and were particularly happy and instructive. Col. R. W. Thompson followed Dr. Hohba. He had had nothing to do with the Normal iesisl&t ion as he had been in the legislature half a century ago, before those gentlemen were bora. He had never known the time when 1 ndianians were not anxious, earnest ami devoted advocates of education. Judge Hack followed Colonel Thompson with a star five mintitea speech on' The CHd and the New." A storm of applause followed Judge Mack'a clever and witty effort President Famous then read hie scholarly mud thoughtful paper on the future of lite institution of which he stands at the bead. Murray Biiggs, who was to have spoken on die cxmdiliou of the Normal School, asked to imitate Oongisasnien by printing his speech.

AN ELABORATE AFFAIR.

Lsil

Formal Opening or the Csdno Eveaing. The Ciasino at C77 Main street was formally opened last night in the presence of a large concourse of the friends of the proprietors, Messrs Sandison & Burns. The Casino has been handsomely refitted and remodeled. It is the finest place of its kind in the state. It is finished in oak and light wood and its arrangement is perfect

From the front it presents a beautiful appearance. The side walls are handsomely decorated and the ceiling is a work'of art The colors are beautifully blended and the effect is striking. Under the glare of Um electric light brackets the room is light and dazzling in appearance. The sideboard extends the entire length of the bar and cigar case. The bar fixtures are pretty, being not too massive or gorgeous. A handsome partition separates the front room from tlie dining and reading rooms. Tlie upper part is a fret work of turned and carved wood, inlaid with stained glass, and is the prettiest work of its kind in the city. The kitchen and lunch counter are in the rear. The front room is beautifully tiled. In the center of the main figure is a$20 gold piece and in the corners silver dollars, imbedded in the tiles.

An elaborate lunch was spread last night It consisted of several kinds of meat, salads and delicacies. It was served under the supervision of John Cleary. The Ringgold orchestra was present and 1 iyed a-number of their best selections. The Magnolia quartette of colored singers also rendered some very pretty music.

Mr. Sandison is to be congratulated upon his success and also tlie beautiful change that has taken place under his supervision. The plans were all in accordance with his ideas. The Casino was opened in '87 and has steadily be-, come popular since. Its reputation is excellent and tlie proprietors are just the to please the public.

OUR MILITARY POLICE.

A Piece or Monkey Ism Barren or Rea. son and Devoid or Sense. Tuesday and Wednesday mercury ranged in the thermometer betweenj the hours of 1 and 3 p. m., from 98° to 100° Fahrenheit. Those who were so unfortunate as to be compelled to expose themselves to the hot, blistering rays of the sun, suffered intensely and were only too glad, as soon as possible to seek shade, shelter and fans.

Capt Bob Davis, commander of the first independent company, Indiana state legion, and superintendent of the Terre Haute police force, in accordance with orders he bad previously issued put twenty-four patrolmen of the force through as complicated and exhaustive a drill, at Collett Park, Tuesday and Wednesday, as would be expected at a regular army post The entire night and a portion of the day force, of patrolmen were on hand. Even one of the patrol wagon men was among the drillists. Backward and forward, around and around, sideways, over and under, up hill and down again, did the militaiy leader of the police work the policemen under the Scalding sun.

This is to continue through tlie Summer. No man is excused and in order to afford all hands a taste of these beautiful sweata both operations, a squad of tbe day men are relieved in their districts at drill time by night men, who are, of. course, required to run their districts at night, just the same. The men complain bitterly of this foolish drilling, and justly, too.

When approached for a reason, Mr. Davis assigns none. The drilling of these men fn extremely hot weather is a detriment to the proper performance of their duties and a cruel exaction that is merele born from a little brief authority-

The ft* Blanche-Mitchell Fl«rht Off. SAN FBANCISCO, June 27.—Although the abandonment of the proposed fight to-night before the California Athletic Club between La Blanche and "Young Mitchell" is ascribed to the declaration of tbe chief of police that he would arrest the principles and seconds when they enteml the ling. It is, however, generally believed that the outcome is entirely satisfactory to La Blanche. It is an open secret that the latter has not found it a very easy matter to take ofl his adiposetissue. When be came here a few weeks

165, while bis fighting weight was fixed at 151. Had the two men met in the ring the "Marines'" defeat would have bow* a foregone conclusion, and "Young Mitchell" would, without doubt, have captured the $3,000 purse. As it is a good excuse for indefinitely postponing the mill has been found and both men will g*t back tbe *K0 forfeit which they deposited with the dub.

WASHINGTON*. June 27.—Jtn the House Hangen took the floor in support of the federal election bill. He uqged that the arguments made by opponents of the bill as to its centralization of power are void because the state governments already control in absolute form the elections determing tbe form and size of the congressional districts and controlling the parties and the views and political desires of citizens and the communities by this process. He called attention to the small number of votes cast in Georgia compared with those in his own state and the fact that although there were nine times as many votes cast in Wisconsin as in Georgia the latter state has a greater number of representatives on the floor than Wisconsin.

Covert then took tlie floor in opposition to the bill. Vaux, of Pennsylvania, Randall's successor spoke in opposition to the bill. He discussed it on constitutional grounds, quoting decision of of Supreme court and other high authorities and the manner of holding elections, provided the bill is unconstitutional. The cousiitution rests in the people the right to determine the manner of holding elections and Congress has no right to change it He was listened to with great interest, memlieiB crowding about lvim, applauding him and congratulating him upon the success of his first speech upon the floor of the House.' mmmm

EDMUNDS' CONCESSIONS.

What Be Has to Say Abont Senatorial Debate. NEW YonK, June 27.—The Tribune's Washington special says: Senator Edmunds made a remark yesterday during the efforts to come to an agreement on the time for taking a vote on the Wyoming bill, which has been construed as giving some highly unexpected cdmfort to the Democratic side of the chamber. Edmunds said incidentally that such arrangements as unanimous consent could never be enforced against the wish of any Senator, and that for himself lie believed there ought to be one branch of Congress in which debates Bhopld be entirely free. It is just this unlimited ireedoin of debate on which the opposition in the Senate are counting to defeat the passage of the federal election law at this session, and so Gramman and othere across the chamber smiled responsively when. Edmunds generously conceded their right to go on talking important legislation to death without let or hindrance. It may lie found, however, that Republican Senators, though reluctant to change the established rule of the Senate permanently, may be willing and anxious to suspend in a single case of absolute necessity, and may, accordingly, pass an order limiting debate on some particular bill. This will, of course be as efficacious as the adoption ofa goncspal

SILVER CONFEREES.

The Members Selected With Bnt One Exception. WASHINGTON, D. 0., June 27.—It is reported to-day that tlie Senate conferees on the silver bill will be Gones, of Nevada, Hiacock and Harris and that the House conferees will lie Conger and Bland with the third not yet decided upon. It is believed that the result will be the report of a bill omitting the free coinage and providing for the coinage of $4,500,000 per month and making certificates legal tender.

WASHINGTON, June 27.—Nearly all the postmasters whose views have been solicited regarding the feasibility of attaching to the letter boxes in the large cities, slot machines that will turn out postage stamps and postal cards upon tlie deposit of an equivalent in currency have returned replies heartily approving the proposition. It is thought that the scheme will lie put in operation before the end of tbe year.

The Stamant Bribery t'a*e. BATON ROUGE, La., June 27.—The case of Representative Stamant who was barged with bribery in connection with the lottery bill, is on the docket for trial in the Criminal court to-day. He has entered a plea of not guilty. Special counsel has been retained to assist the district attorney and a vigorous prosecution is promised.

THE CHICAGO STRIKE.

A Lsng Siege is Expected—Wilkinson Accused. CHICAGO, Jane 27.—The Illinois Central strike is still on and every indication points to a long and bitter fight At a meeting held this morning by the strikers, Grand Master Wilkinson was openly accused of being in tlie pay of tlie railway company to use his influence tg get the men to surrender. The charge that he sold himself to the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway for $30,000 at the time of tlie strike on that road was reiterated. Mr. Wilkinson indignantly denied tlie charges and claimed that he was earnestly supporting the demands of the men.

The freight conductors of the Illinois Central railway are around the general offices of the company in large numbers tit is morning and openly declared their iutention of returning to work. If a general strike is declared they wiy, not Q^ey the summons to quit

About noon it was given out from'the strikers' headquarters that the men had consented to return to work and tlie. strike will be declared off. Trains will run out of tlie city this evening. This is a great victory for the company, as Superintendent Kti89ell was retained in his position with the same power and nuthority. It is reported that a general order has been given out by Grand Master Wilkinson to all employes of the Illinois Central system now out on a strike to J! return to work.
