My friend, "Let us hava peace." Then with a truly Chesterfieldian bow, and his best smilo, Dick replied that he didn't mind taking 'most any thing with him, just this once wouldn't count it. Westfall standing by looking kind of thirsty, at this juncture was called up and introduced to the President. Tho President congratulated him upon securing the services of that rising young journalist, Mr. Duncan, to edit his paper whilo absent.

He was about to canvass him for an advertisement, when the President cut the interview short by embracing all around once more, and having offered a little petition to the effect that we four might meet again, he passed on to the next delegation.

TIIE CAR GRAIN GAUGER.

A Description of the Invention Captain E. B. Alien, A GAZETTEER was shown, this morning, the machine—if such it may bo called—invented by Captain 15. B. Allen, of this city, for determining the quantity and weight of grain of various kinds loaded upon a freight car. It is a vory simple contrivance so simple, in fact, a? to make it a matter thought of before, and yet fills so completely a want long felt, and is calculated to perform its work so well, that its general adoption and use upon all tho railroads would seem to be a mere matter os time. It consists merely of two boards, which are to be placed in opposite ends of a car to be loaded with grain, and in which, under tho different heads of wheat, corn, on the cob or shelled, barley, rye, oatB, etc., is marked a graduated scale, indicating in numbers burned in the wood and stained, the weight in pounds of the grain whon it is filled up on a level to each of the various marks. The scale is arranged for the ordinary and most common interior dimensions of grain cars, which is taken to be seven feet in height, seven In width, and twenty-six in length, but accompanying it is a table given the different weight a given point would indicate, if the size of the car was different. This table exhausts, if not all the possible dimensions of oars, at least all the dimensions of any cars made in this country. The great utility to the railroads of this invention is at once recognizable to railroad men and shippers. To others not fa. miliar with the subject, its great use will becomo at once understood, when the tricks of the shipping trade are known. It is a very common practice among grain dealers to load on a car, say fifteen tuns of grain, take out a bill of lading and pay the freight on ten tons, and so save the freight on five. To be sure, the last railroad ovor which the grain is shipped, is bound to turn over to the consignee only the amount of grain the bill of lading calls for, and this fact has generally 1 eon relied upon to keep the weights correct, but the practical operation of the system has always been that they have assumed the bill of la ding to be correct and been cheated regularly and continuously out of the tariff on a great amount of grain transported by them. To welgn tho unloaded, and then the loaded cars, is a labor of exoeedlng difficulty, and really out of the question so that it has nevor been done. By this simple little Contrivance of Mr. Allen's the exact weights always cau be told at a glance, correct bills of lading be immediately made out, and the railroads by being able by means of it, to collect their charges on all the grain transported by them, can reduce their rates. Thus it will be seen that wLiio it greatly helps tho railroads, it is no less a help to the honost farmers and grain dealers, who are coinpolled to make up the deficiencies of their less li«nest fellows.

It is not thought, indeed it is not claimed for this invention that it will be sufficiently accurate in its measurement of grain, to enable buying and selling to be effected by and upon the nicutt. basis of its correctness, but as a means of stopping fraud, where a hundred

ference, it will be invaluable to the railroads. We hope Mr. Allen, In the

AN ARTFUL DODGER CAPTURED.

How a Terre Haute Merchant Caught an Absconding Debtor. J. B. Lyne, wholesale liquor dealer, on East Main street, returned day before yesterday from St. Loais. His visit there was made for tho. arrest of an absconding debtor, and his story of the flight of tho a. d., bis pursuit of him and the final capture, is not only interesting, but shows that not all the skill in the detective lino Is absorbed by professional detectives or the regular police force. For the past year Israel Clark, who kept a saloon in Clinton, had boen buying liquors and tobacco of Mr. Lyne, until the bill li.ially amounted to some $600. The promised remittances having failed to arrive, Mr. Lyne went to Clinton a

Pushing his investigations further, he learned that previous to his departure he had cashed all of his worldly, possessions, and driven out of town, ostensibly on bus! ness. His wife and family, consisting of five joung children, were next hunted up, and to bis inquiries the wife could only reply that he had left no money with her, and had gone, he said, only to be away a few days. This did not appear altogether satisfactory

westward journey, and inquiring at vairious points if he had been seenf sometimes with success, but gonerally without, Mr. L. made up his mind that he would certainly go to St. Louis, and once there, he would sell the horses and buggy, and leave the coun try. Satisfied that this was the correct theory of the case, Mr. L. went to St. Louis,and deciding to work up the case himsolf, determined to watch every ferry boat that crossed the river. He stationed himself in a good point for observation and watched every boat that left the Illinois shore, going over on the last one Saturday night himself, to stay in St. Louis. The first boat Sunday morning bore him over to his point of observation, and the last at night took him back. H6 began tho same programme Monday, but before the morning had worn itself away ho espied Clark driving onto the ferry-boat. He was not long in deciding to go over in the same boat himself. Once ou the boat, he walked through the tangled labryntli of vohicles to where Clark was engaged in fixing something about tho buggy. Tho first intimation tho surprised Clark had that his little game of dodge was not working all right, was a re

Temperance Muaic.

The GAZETTE is In receipt of two very beautiful songs entitled: "Don't Go Near the Bar-room, Father," and "Father Drinks No More." They are companion pieces intended to illustiate by sharply defined contrasts the "cussedness" of caps on the one hand, and the beauty of sobriety on the other. We have looked over the music, and it certainly does make ont a plain case. In the one piece the father is exhorted not to go near the bar-room, the notes are all crooked and twisted, over the bar and under, generally the latter pretty heavy in the base parts, and generally mixed np and punished as if they bad been out all night on a spree, and were making tracks down a dark alloy to escape the police in the morn ing. In the other the notes go skipping along, lightly and airily, way above all temptation from the barbeneatb, as gaily piping their joyous song as the canary its lay, and having about them the perfume of flowers. We are not sure about tho latter figure of speech, but it sounds pretty. Again, in "Father

Drinks No More," the notes are all straight, with little banners flying from their flag staffs, and with never a crook or a club foot beneath.

But it is in the pictures which adorn the title pages that the moral of songs comes out strong. The dramatis personam in each are the same, a man and his wife and a little girl. But oh, how different! In "Don't go Near," etc., the old man looks as if be had jus' come out of a bar room, and was by no

"Well.

Clark, I had about given you up." A look at his intorlucutor convinced the stabgorcd Clark that a compromise with at least one of his creditors was tbo proper thing to do. He protested that he had no money about him, this was a lie, for he really had over a thousand dollars, unless he lost it between Clinton and St. Louis, for he abandoned his wife and family without loaving them a cent, but expressed a willingness—uuder the circumstances really commondable—to deliver up to Mr. L. his buggy and three horses on settlement of his claim. These Mr. L. took and returned to Terre Haute, leaving the bewildered Clark to chew the cud of sweet and bitter reflection, and cogitate upon the fickleness of for. ture, and make a note in his diary that when a fellow wants to got ahead of a Terre Haute merchant, he must get up very early ii^ the morning indeed not go to bed at all.

The Fire.

A CAREFUL canvass of the city by a saloon man last week, reveals the fact that with, perhaps not a single exception, not a saloon keeper in town is in favor of the $200 license imposed by the Council. This certainly militates against tho statement made in the Council meeting that the great majority of the saloon keepers were in favor of a city license. It wonld, perhaps, be a correct statement of their views to say that they would be, aa a rule, in favor of a State license, if the (to them) objectionable features of the Baxter bill were repealed. j,

The engines were promptly upon the spot, and soon reduced tho flames, but not until the house was pretty well burned out on the inside and the roof burned through in several places. frame, with some one-sto^y attachments in the rear. The firo' originated a defective kitchen flue, and consequently the rear of tho house was more damaged than other portions. Almost everything was saved Iroin tho building, aud deposited in the large yard and orchard in which the house stands. The building was insured for $1,200, with a company represented by C. E. Hosford, in this city. The estimated loss is between $1,600 and $2,000. Mr. Sibley owns a number of other Rouses in the city, one of which is in the neighborhood of the burned one, and as it happens to be unoccupied, will furnish a temporary retreat for his family.

Recollections of a Drunkard. The temperance lecture, at Dowliag Hall, last week, drew a fair audience.

Ho possesses considerable humor, and his anecdotes are always apt, and right to the point. You aro convinced forthwith that he speaks upon intemperance as one hav ing authority, that he knows every phase, from the first social glass of wine to the lowest depths of drunkenness. His whole life, save only his childhood, has been a fearful career, of intemperance. His descriptions of the lifo, struggles, and degradation of the drunkard, and of the horror ol de lirlum tremens were most effective.

At the close of his lecture an elderly gentleman arose, in the back part of the audience, and clinched the arguments of the speaker with a lew well chosen words.

A BIO COUNTY CONVENTION.

Resolution*, Nominations, Etc.

The an terrified Democracy assembled at the third ring of the Court House bell in this city yesterday afternoon in county convention, and were called to order by Joseph Gilbert, who nominated Dr. Ezra Read as chairman, and he was unanimously elected. On taking the chair the Dr.remarked, Gentlemen of the convention, I appreciate the honor conferred upon me in being called upon to preside over your deliberations. This is a delegated convention to put in nomination candidates fcr offices that mar be vacant in the fall. It is to be hoped that our deliberations will be harmonious, and that the names of all candidates be fairly put in nomination and thoroughly canvassed, and also that the best class of men be nominated for the suffrage of the people of the county.

Mr. Joseph Gilbert was selected Secretary. The chairman requested all delegates present to enter the bar and others to withdraw. The secretary read a list of delegates for the different wards and townships. A delegate asked for instruction as to whether a part of the delation could vote for the whole delegation. It was ruled that those present be entitled to cast the full vote.

Mr. Gilbert moved that delegations elect two delegates from their ward or township to the state convention, two to the congressional convention, and one to act as committee 00 resolutions.

On motion of Dr. Swaffordj that part referring to congressional delegate was omitted, and the motion prevailed.

Upon motion, it waa ordered that the delegates from each ward and township elect two delegates to attend the State convention, and one member bach on the Committtee on Resolutions.

THE Prairie City pushed off her moorings, with the Normal excursioniats, Saturday morning. The party consisted of about forty ladies and some fifty gentlemen. The notables on board were Prols. 'Duey, and Aiken, and Miases Bruce andFunnelle.

Hasrgerty electrified the

particular, by announcing that he ac£ mired modesty, and appreciated it whereever he met with it, out he failed to see any of it here, and bitterly denounced the delegates for selecting delegates to the state convention from among their own number, and said that the townships would send delegates to the convention in spite of them. (Cries of "order:" "he is not a delegate," and repeated calls from the chair to desist, as it was against the rules to hear from any one not a delegate.)

The following resolution was then presented by Dr. Swafford, and passed, with one dissenting voice:

Resolved, that the Democratic party of Vigo county, repoBing confidence in Patrick Shannon, hereby instruct that the vote of the county in the State convention, be cast for him, for the nomination for Treasurer ot Stato.

The Committee on Resolutions having returned, the following resolutions were then read to the Convention by Martin Hollinger:

WHEREAS, The experience of ton years past of rule by the Republican party in tho Federal, State and local departments of tbo Government, has demonstrated the indisputable fact of the incapacity of that political organisation to assure to the Union, solid prosperity, and to the people, contentment, peace, the personal liberty due to intelligence, honesty and virtue, safety against crime and immorality, relei'f from onerous and oppressive taxation and

WHEREAS, the Democratic party, pointing back to it8 history, dating with the beginning of the century, appeals to tbe people for a change in the adminiBtration of tbe Government, with the sole idea of restoring to the citizens the virtue, tbe prosperity, the security, the honest industry, and tbe happiness which characterised tbe States during the sixty years that the Democratic party was dominant in tbe Government therefore bo it

Resolved, That the most imperative and holy duty of Government is to secure to the people liberty, prosperity and happiness, through the enactment of liberal and beneficient laws. 2. The Democratic party, now, as in the past, pledges itself to look only after the interests of tho people, and to this direction we solemnly declare that tbe currency of the country should bo so regulated that the industry of every man should be assured a solid basis and a just recompense. 3. That we oppose all manner oft xtravaganoe and corruption in public officials, whether of our own or the opposition party, and wo call upon the people to punish those who are guilty of squandering the hard earnings of laber entrusted to their keeping. 4. That we oppose tbe idea of the Republican party that sumptuary lawa are necessary in a free government to control the sovereign citiaen, and to this effect we declare that the law known as the Baxter bill has wholly foiled to accomplish the designs of its originators and frienda, a fid that the use of intoxicating liquors under the pressure of that fanatical atatnte is now greater in this Commonwealth than daring any period since the Maine law of 1854. 5. That tbe Democratic party favors

relatives and neigh-

arrayed friends, relatives and neighborhoods against each other, and bich baa seriously disturbed the business of tbe country, and subaituting therefor a wholesome license system, wherein tbe rights and privileges of the State and the citizen shall be carefully guarded and seen red.

Tbo OAZRTI feels proud of throw at the bands of the unconqnexed Democracy, and the awakened bests

of the farmers and workingmen of the United States. Inasmuch as the above represents the ideas and purposes of the Democratic party in the inpending campaign, we cordially ana sincerely in-

vito the attention, sympathy and support of every voter who desli these principles carried

lkith. Mr. Cyrus York immediately moved that the report be laid upon the table.

Mr. Edmunds offered an amendment that the voting be by de!egations carried, and ten minutes given for consultation.

The chair announced that the vote aye would favor their being tabled, and nay would prevent it, and the vote was aye 83 votes and 52 against

Mr. E. T. Donham, of Pearson, township, offered a resolution amending the report by striking out all that part relating to the Baxter bill.

Mr. Edmunds wanted lo know if the democratic party were cowards. If men cannot control their appetites the democratic party is not responsible. He was opposed to the Baxter law—so is the democratic party. If such laws prevail, a law should be enacted compelling men to go to bed at niae o'clock. He wanted the report adopted.

Dr. Caldwell said, we have been stamped the whisky party and justly too. ne waa opposed to this law as bitterly as can be, but he was opposed to passing this resolution. There is time lor the democratic party to meet that issue hereafter. He was requested to quit speaking as he was not a delegate,

J. J. Brake said, Is there no, chance for a man to be a democrat, and yet be a temperance man? You cannot afford to say a man cannot be a temperance man and a democrat.

Mr. nollinger said the resolution was not against temperance: it was against the Baxter law, and favored a license

Mr. Kester said this is not our Gght it belongs to the republican party. If we

et a quarrel on this now, we may in the contest in the near future. He was sound in tho faith, but did not want to put weapons in the bauds of the enemy.

Mr. S. Rigney said, our candidates have got to face this thing and we had as well face it now as any time.

Mr. Gilbert said he was in favor of part of the Baxter bill. It has some good features in it, and did not approve a wholesale denunciation of the entire law. Were he elected representative he would not be willing to remove it from the statute book without an assurance of something better.

By consent of convention Mr. Havens asserted that this resolution met bis hearty favor and if he ihould be elected to the legislature he would leave no stone nnturneu to repeal that law.

Mr. Brake wanted to know who made all this fuss. The convention or outsiders, (responses from both sides.) Mr.

Burton were placed in nomination, resulting in the nomination of Kelley by a vote of 73 to 12.

He Pledge.

An affecting scene occurred at the close of Sunday afternoon's temperance meeting in tbe park. While Mrs. Hunt was ebgagod in conversation with a few friends, her husband was approached by the dilapidated wreck, of what bad once been a man, with a request for the prif liege of signing the pledge. He was introduced to Mrs. Hunt, by whose direction a pledge was promptly written for him to sign. Kneeling down to attaclr his name to it ho said: "I sign thia pledge in the fear of God, in tbe presence of these 1 ailies and gentlemen as witnesses, and asking for strength that I may keep it." Then, in a trembling hand, he affixed the signature, "James H. Mulen." As he arose those who were near him shook hands with him, and while Mrs. Hunt's hand was clasped in his, he said: '"Your lecture has done this 1^believe you are a good woman. Pray for ,uie." "Let us pray now," said Mrs. Hunt and the twenty-fivo or thirty people around aank to their knees, when Mrs. Hunt poured out her very soul in prayer for the unfortunate man, concluding with the petition that if this little circle never met on earth, they might all meet in Heaven. "Yes," said Mullen as he arose from his knees, "in Hoavon, where my only child is." And then ho requested that some one would tell his wife that he had signed the pledge, and when lold to do it himself, he said she would not believe blm. Mrs.

Hodgins and Mrs. Fortune volunteered to tell her, and he undortook to diroct them thoy could find her but, not making it very clear, Mrs. Fortune said to him: "Come with us to your wife." Looking down at his regged and patched clothes, he expressed a doubt of their willingness to be seen on tho streots with him. But all doubts vanished when, with tears streaming from their eyes, thoy each took an arm, and gently urged him forward. As these bravo women, 011 either side of this ragged and patched wreck of a man, pass through the streets on tholr errand of lovo and mercy, let the curtain fall, and loave tho imagination to picture the scene in his wretched home.

COLLISION ON TIIE YANDALIA.

None Killed, batS Wounded. Regular freight train No. 18, Vaudalia Railroad, while running east on its own time, was run into Tuesday at about 11 A. M., by a work train between the stations of Effingham and Funkhouser. Tho fault seems to lie entirely on the conductor (Chas. Tay lor) and the engineer of tho work train. Tho freight train left Effingham at 10:35, being exactly on timo. Ton ipinutes later, 10:45, tho work train pulled out of Funkhouser, those In charge of it knowing full well that there waB no side track between tho two stations, and being informed that No. 13 was on time. It seems to have been a case of moro than reprehensible carelessness. Only positive stupidity could have pormitted such an acciednt to havo occur red, under such circumstances. There may have been extenuating circumstances,which wo have not yet learned.

Thero is a curve in tbe road wbore the accident took place. Mllo Haynea, engineer of the freight, perceived that something was wrong by tbe rising smoke, boforo the trains camo in sight of each other. He whistled down brakes and reversed his ongine, and had come nearly to a stand still when be was struck by the work train, going at high speed, on a down grade. One of the engines was all smashed up, the other, considerably injured. 8lx persons, whose names we have not learned, were injured upon tbe work train, two of tbem wero quito severely, and it was at first thought, dangerously hurt, but this morning they aro reported out of danger, and more comfortable. Only one waa Injured on tbe freight, tbe fireman, who struck on a tie in jumping from the engine, and sprained his ankle.
