THE BILL BAXTEE BOYS

How They Discouraged the Traffic in Liquor at Howard, Routed 'Em &nd Scouted 'Em, Ac/

From the Hoosier State.

Our fellow-citizen, MaJ. Gen. McDonald, who was boosted out of Howard, Parke county, one night last week, by the Good Templar Lodge of that place, tor attempting to run a doggery in that quiet little village, concluded on Tuesday last that he would try thethingon again. He procured a force of the heavy weignts of this place, who armed themselves with shot-gun*, revolvers, knives, coin-cutters, etc., and started for the seat of war, swearing he would sell "stagger juice" in tbe town of Howard, or he and his braves would die on the battle field. Some of our timid citizens thought they could see blood on the moon, and there was going to be a terrible slaughter of human life at Howard if the Good Templar lodge did not accede to the dictates of the whisky

rIAssoon

as they arrived at How

ard the Good Templar lodge, like a band of brave Spartans waited upon our fellow townsman and his stalwart warriors and told them to git and they did so without waiting for the second command. They concluded it would be best to take our advice, come home and die a natural death, instead of going down to a watery grave in the Wabash, where the Good Templars would surely have sent the entire army if they had not retreated In good order. This will probably be the last time Major General McDonald will attempt to cow the brave Spartans of Howard.

THE SEWERAGE SENSATION.

The Wood Work of Bidding StUl Progressing. The sewerage sensation might be very easily fanned into life again. It having been charged that Corruthers & Co. could not perform the work at their bid, they notify the City Engineer that they will well and truly perform the service at the price stated in their bid.

Agnew &Co.,of ^Chicago, say that they will do the work for $2,000, less than Corruthers & Co. They authorize the City Engineer to call the City Council's attention to their proposition.

Sheelien &Co., St. Louis, who were here and bid but did not make their bid public, withdrawing it instead, make a proposition to the city, through Mr. Strout, to the effect that they will do all the work for a little upward of $82,000, cash basis, and will bid on a bond basis, if necessary. But why say anything more about it, the sewerage sensation is defunct.

A Largo and Most Estimable Family. From tho Cincinnati Commercial. The recent death and burial of Jas. McGregor, Is an occasion which ought not to pass by without remark. He was a sterling character, and had contributed his share to the business growth of Cincinnati. In 1817, at the age of 22, he came from the town of Stanley, in Perthshire, Scotland, to the United States, and began his business life here. Coming as hedid, without money,he brought the greater energy. He was one of five brothers, and one of twelve children. As has happened often, both before and since, he being the oldest, preceded and led the rest of the family. He was followed to America and the West, by Robert, John and Alexander, aud by three sisters, James and Robert settled in Cincinnati, where their names have been familiar to the ears of business man for half a century. James, as he was the senior and leader, so he was in a certain just sense the founder of their business fortuues.

TEMPERANCE.

Organization of a Lodge of Good Tem* plars at Cory. They have a temperance lodge at Cory. It was organized night before last, and starts out with a gratifying list of members. The following are the officers elected to serve the ensuing term

Coal at Cory.

The coal deposits iu the vicinity of Cory, are to be tested by competent companies, and then developed. Already arrangements have been made for the sinking of three new shafts this spring and summer. Mr. Donham has samples of good Cannel coal, taken from one shaft that is now worked by Miukler, Roberts Co., and from D. Mcintosh's drillings, who is now sinking a shaft All the coal in the vicinity has a good slate roof over it, and can be safely miued.

A Corner on Corn*

The Journal learns that a "number of farmers in Otter Creek township have combined their oorn crop and now have 15,000 bushels on hand, and that they propose to hold on to the grain until they reach the highest notch." It Btrlkes us that 50 cents is a good price, and we understand that corn, can't be bought for much less, even now. But the farmers should have all they can get. That seems to be the motto of all successful business meu.

ABOUT one hundred and fifty of the sturdy yeomanry of Lost Creek and adjoining townships assembled at Salem school house, last evening After listening to an address from Mr. Charles T. Burton, aud applaud ingit right heartily, the talkers pres ent Stated a little of what they knew of farming, and then determined to organize a lodge of the order of Patrons of Husbandry, at an early date.

There were present Messrs. Gilbert Pegg, Royse, and other visiting and organizing members of the order.

A Now and a Novel Association. From the Chicago Times. Addie L. Ballou, of Terre Haute, is organizing a Magdalens' Protective Union. She thinks that the prostitutes are oppressed, and that the best way to fight oppression is to combine. She also claims that respectable married women, sinoe the nard times oame on, are robbing the magdalens of their' legitimate custom, and that measures must be taken to break up clandestine trafficw

Another GoodMeetin i» rison School 1 !ouse.

at Fort liar-

The Good Work Goes on.

Full houses have been the rule out exception, at all the meetings held by the Temperance Executive Committeo. The usual large crowd gathered at Fort Harrison School House Friday night, to hear Rev. L. B. Smith, of the Christian Church, and Harry Cassjl, talk "Temperance aud the Enforcement of the Baxter Law."

The music for the occasion was furnished by an improvised choir un der the leadership of H. R. Allen, Esq., consisting of Mrs. J. B. Richardson, and Miss Alice Alien, sopranas Mrs. R. W. Brotherton, alto Miss Mary Musgrove, organist Mr Walter Allen, tenor Mr. J. B. Richardson, basso profundo et primo, and Mr. J. W. Miller, basso. The voices were excellent, time accurate, rythm perfect, selections good, and execution more than creditable.

Mr. John J. Brake was called to the chair, and after music, prayer and music, introduced Rev. L. 13. Smith, of the Christian Church.

Mr. Smith intended to speak in general terms, and with much freedom. As members'of God's universal family, we ought to have a deep Interest in each other's welfare. Mutual dependence is a universal law. No man has any right to do anything or engage in any business which can bring unhappiness upon any single member of society. This i.-t the natural law.

Laws are: 1, natural 2, revealed 3, arbitrary. The first two are from God, and are right the third is from man, and may be written good or bad, since man is not infallible. As good citizens, we are bound to obey all arbitrary law. The natural law forbids the liquor traffic for God's curse has always been upon it.

He quoted Blackstone and the Bible to show, and conclusively proved, that the selling or using of ardent spirits was forbidden by the natural and revealed laws, and if man sold the poison he did it by sufferance of the people, and not as a matter of right. Sooner or later utter and positive prohibition will be the arbitrary, as it is the natural and revealed law.

He reviewed briefly the Baxter bill, and at some length the decision of the Supreme Court, that the nintli section was unconstitutional. He didn't give much encouragement to the opponents of the law, for while he coincided with the opinions of the majority of the Supreme Court, he could not see that there was any decision against the principle of that section. He supposed there were honest rum-sellers, and presented a fearful picture of such an one asking a permit to sell intoxicating liquors. He did believe that, as the world counted respectability, some respectable people signed petitions for permits, but he felt that such signing would be the last thing upon which a man would hang a claim to respectability.

It Is no excuse for anyone that it is the duty of officers to enforce the law. It is the duty of all citizens to use every effort to enforce all law.

Good men and true, no matter of what political faith, must be called to the front, and entrusted with the responsible duty of faithfully executing the laws. If such men are now in office, continue them. If not, elect such men who possess the qualities men tried and true, who will never betray the trust reposed in them.

And, as we look abroad over our common country, and behold the great army of intemperance—an army which no man can number—as we snojtlvA. wanted forms—the destroyed ions—the imbruted passions— the infernal saturnalia—the wrecked fortunes -the devastated homes—the aching hearts—and the starving children. As we hear the mother who once enjoyed peace and prosperity and happiness akin to heaven itself, say—as we have repeatedly heard it—"My happiness is gone"—"Our home is ruined"—"I expeot to realize no more oomfort nor peace until I find it in the grave and were it not for these poor, balfstarvedand naked children, I should be glad to have it come soon." As we hear these things, do we not feel like'swearing eternal enmity to that system which Is the prolific source of all these evils—nay, and a thousand more, for these are but a tithe of what might be named?

Will we not strive tffen 'with all our ransomed powers to imbue the minds of the children and youth of our land with abhorrence of a system so ruinous aud degrading?

As Hamilcar took Hannibal to the altar at eight years of age, and made him swear eternal hatred to the Romans, so let us take our children aud uiake them vow eternal hatred to Intemperance in all its forms.

Mr. Cassll's address was, for want of time, a mass of facts and princi-

E»elngthrown

les

Save

together, the audience

left to do its own moralizing. He did not deal very tenderly with what he designated as conservative men, nor with church members who actively or passively give their influence to the whisky traffic. He explained and defended the Baxter law, giving an account of its practical workings, whioh showed a great reduction in drunkenness and the other evils of intemperance. He wanted it enforced while it was a law, and when it was repealed, he wauted it replaced by a statute forbidding, un der penalty of life imprisonment, the manufacture, importation and sale of alcoholio poison.

Educational Facilities in Fayette. Mr. Seldomridge, Trustee of Fayette township, ia in theoity last week on school business. He report^ a dilemma in that township. The schools are all crowded, and further facilities are neoessary. On this point all seem to agree. Where the pro posed Improvements are to be made is the question. Petitions and counter petitions are in circulation. The great majority seem to want graded schools located at Goshen and Sandford. This can be done by adding to the buildings now in use at those points, at a comparatively small cost. A few, however, want but one grad* ed school, and that near the center of the township. Those with this view are the counter petitioners. Mr. Seldomridge and others in authority are also in a quandary. Their only way out of this is to obey the mandate, of the majority. ^That is one of the fundamental principles of the government, and of first importance.

MR. ORMAND BARBOUR, of CaN bondale, a brotherof Corey Barbour, Esq., of tiiis county, will soon take up his residence in the Laiige property. His wife is a s'ater of Mrs. Greenough, North Fifth street.

In Reference to the Result of the Baxter BUI Throughout the State. Editors JBvening Gazette:

The Executive Committee of the State Temperance Alliance, has sent circulars to every county in the State, asking for information as to the workings of the Baxter law. Part of the questions are answered from the records in the various offices, and part of them (one only, and that as to increase or decrease ot drunkenness) from the opinions of officers who are iu a position to know, such as Sheriffs, Judges, city and town Marshals, etc. Thirty-three counties have reported. One reports drunkenness neither increased nor decreased. Two do not report on this point. The decrease In thirty counties runs from 20 to 100 per cent., with an average of 52 per cent. Drunkenness has disappeared from Newton county. Nineteen out of thirty-three counties have granted no

ermits under the Baxter law, and no licensed saloons. Three have but one saloon each, one has two saloons, two have three each, one has four, and one (Bartholomew) has twenty-two. Thirty counties re-

Change in Control of the Journal. The papers, transferring the interest of Mr. James B. Edmunds, in the Journal, to Mr. Robert N. Hudson, were signed, sealed and delivered, Saturday afternoon. The change in editorial management will occur on the 2d of March. The politics of the paper will probably be changed from Bourbon to Liberal Democratic. An entire new dress will adorn the initial aud subsequent numbers under the new control, and it is probable that Mr. Hudson will add another story to his block of buildings back of the Donnelly drug store property, and locate theJournal publishing and printing company there permanently.

When the Col. has had charge of the Journal for a few days he will have had editorial oharge of all the Terre Haute dailies. Mr. Edmunds will retire, after an active editorial life of more than twenty years on the Journal, vy ,jf Ir

An Incident. 1$,

A rather amusing Incident occurred in this city a few evenings since. A gentlemen accompanied a couple of young ladies to church, and after service—It being early—he proposed to "interview" the F—h'a, on North Sixth street. They did so.. No light being visible, they concluded the family had retired. The young gent, being loth to leave, sat quietly down upon the front porch to write a few lines. The gentleman of the housa,' hearing a slight noise, crept slyly out of bed to the door, and In the twinkling of an eye boldly confronted the trio—the bright moonlight fully revealing his snow-white garments. The young gent, thinking he had heard the click of a pistol, scaled the fenoe, leaving behind two young ladies and his hat, as evidence that he had been there.

THE furniture and fixtures of the head office of the Logansport, Crawfordsville & Southwestern Railroad, In this city, were sold at constable's sale, last Friday. The sale was mad6 for the benefit of local creditors and was permitted by the management to determine whether the local creditors or the first mortgage bond holders in New York have the prior lien on the property. The indebtedness of the road will be met as promptly as possible.

THE Express understands that Mr. Ell Jones will have charge of the city columns of the Journal, under the the new management-

VERY many business men contend that business is better now than it was this time last year. Then why complain of hard times?

A TRAIN of the Indianapolis & St. Louis line was stoned near the Embarrass ("Ambraw") river last week. Somebody should be shot.

MK. J. O. JONES, Superintendent of Ihe Terre Haute Association for the Promotion of Manufactures, recently quite ill, is able to be out.

WE learn from the Indianapolis Journal that the Rev. E. F. Howe, of Terre Haute, will lecture at the Mayflower Church, in that city, this evening.

THE new rolling mill compaay contracted with Niblock, Zimmerman & Co. for coal at $1.90 per ton. The contract was given out on competitive bidding.

EDWARD GILBERT aud bride—nee Miss Sue Buutln—of this city, arrived, on Thursday last, at Jacksonville, Florida, where they are the guests of the Grand National Hotel.

IF you shoot quails now you will violate the law, and lay yourself liable to a fine of five dollars for each such violation. Tie up your dog and haug your fowling piece up on tho ruck.

IT IS claimed—as reported by the Express—that a ghastly ghost haunts Tom Buggy's saloon, and that is the reason Tom left It. Just the place for the Pence's Hall spirits to congregate when off duty.

WE learn that Mr. H. Robinson, the senior member of the well-known wholesale notion house of H. Robinson & Co., goes to New York thia evening, to lay in an unusually large and select spring stock.

MR. WM. HARDING, of the Cambridge City Tribune, spent Sunday in the city. His wife has been here for four or five weeks, attending her sick father, Mr. Griffith, who is a sufferer from cancer in the face.

AN inveterate tobacco borrower in one of our large manufacturing establishments, has come to grief. A notice was put up by his fellow workmen to the effect that he could obtain no more weed on the borrow, and intimating that money spent in other institutions would' keep him in fine out. He has grown pugnacious, but the boys do not fear Ills ferocious "billy," and rejoioe in plenty of tobacco.

The regular monthly concert at Plymouth Chapel, last Sunday, was made the more pleasurable by the presence and excellent singing of the faithful Davis family, and Miss Emma Dodson, as oreanfst. Near the close of the exercises Superintendent Oakey, in behalf of the school, presented Mr. Davis a beautiful picture, an illuminated cross, nicely framed, as evidence of the gratitude, and kindly wished of those most benefitted. It was a pleasant affair, and will leave a pleasant memory.

WE received a call from Mr. Morgan and the Messrs. Stewart, this morning. After an animated discussion for a half hour, Messrs. Fisk and Baldwin, dropped in, and then there was mu9ic, if it wasn't harmonious. It was the most successful seance of the season. The showmen hadn't any mnsic box, but the chin music filled the bill to the confound* ing of all who were present. We thought once that we would telegraph Governor Hendricks to maintain the peace among the brethren. The services of the Emmett Guards would have been acceptable at .^ono, time during the performance. The "Hebrew Benevolent Society"

The Hebrew ladies of Terre Haute have a benevolent organization which dispenses charity among its OWB people. This society gave their annual ball, Friday night, at Dowling Hall, the proceeds of which, we un derstand, are for the cause of charity. The ball was a pecuniary and social success. Quite a large number were present, and the dancers .seemed to enjoy themselves. Toute's excellent musio made everybody fe?} like treading a measure, aud qultea number of mature matrons, and goodlyslas»d pater-familiaM lor^ot their dignity for the time, »nd joined iu the giddy waltz with a zesi. equal to the occasion. Refreshment* w«re set in the adjoinioK hall, atftt it ia to feejj|^tjimed found many takers..

SPIRITS.

A Crashing Failure.

In a pecuniary point of view, the circus at Pence's Hall, Sunday, was a gratifying success. The hall was packed, and at ten cents an investigator must have netted a considerable amount. It would be base flattery to say that the performance was tenth-rate. Mr. Hook led off by stating in a manner the lack of coolness and good temper in which was, excepting, perhaps, its bad logic, its most noticeable feature, that Spiritualists were in perfect good humor about their pretended exposes, which only served to bring out in stronger light tho grand truths—rope-tying and bell-rfnging trutha—of Spiritualism. The audience seemed to think that the grand truth of Spiritualism, which was being brought out by the exposes, was its humbuggery, and testified to their appreciation of the tiuth by liberal applause.

The Chairman of the meeting, Mr. Hook, then called upon the members of the committee that bad served at Baldwin's expose, to come'forward. Mr. McCoy alone reported himself. The remainder of a committee was then selected, Wm. Lockwood being among the number. The first test would not work, "Venus," the medium's uncle, and under whom she works, tried hard, but ho could not make the bells ring.

The programme wasChanged, and he did do some rope-tying. Then he was tested with the bells again, but was found to be sulky, was Venus,,, and then the show closed. During the performance, Mr. Morgan hovered around 4he cabinet, being invariably the first to enter it and the last to leave, during the sickening failure often going up to the curtained apperture and asking the medium what the matter was It required no very vivid fancy to Imagine the nature of thope little confidential conversations between father and daughter, wherein, with childish guilelessness, she told of knots too tightly tied, of chains too securely fastened and of musical ^instruments placed too far away, and wherejn the father gave promise of easier conditions if he could only come It over the committee. There were some enlivening occurrencess, for example, the request by Mr. Baldwin to be permitted to go upon the platform and examine the knots, and the cavalier announcement by Mr. Hook that Baldwin could manage his shows and the Spiritualists could attend to theirs. Baldwin's request, being so reasonable and being put in so gentlemanly a way, it was bard, from the manner of his refusal, to escape the coucluslon that Mr. Hook feared he could fathom the mystery of the manifestations and could duplicate them. Then came the thought that Mr. Hook, being an humble and honest seeker after the truth, and anxious, nay yearning to be undeceived, if he had been and was belng fooled, was standing in his own light, by refusing to give a chance for exposure to the one man who, by tralulng and practice, is tho moat capable of any one In town to show up these thincs and detect the fraud in them. Then the audience hissed and yelled as any good aud fair audiance ought to have hissed aud hooted. It was not at the Mr. Hook, the honest Investigator, they hissed, but at ttie Mr. Hook who refused To adopt the simplest and most satisfactory method of proving its salsify. OUR ACTU LXG INTER-
