FIFTEENTH WEDDIXG AX XIVERSARY.

A Jlofct Pleaiint Social Gathering' at Tarner Kail Last ftigbt.

From Friday's Dally.

Last evening a large social gathering took place at Turner Hall to celebrate 'he crystal wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Max Jo&eph.

Two large tables had been arranged in the lower part of the building which fairlv groaned beneath the weight of I he many delicious and substantial viands with which they were spread.

A number of handsome presents were displayed in the upper hall, of which want of space forbids us to give the mention they deserve.

Shortly after nine o'clock Prof. Breinig and a number of the Ringgold orchestra, made their appearance, and at ten o'clock commenced playing their delightful dance music, to which the guests heartily responded by filling the floor in an incredibly shor: time.

One of the most pleasant features of the everting wa6 the surprise to Mr. and Sirs. Joseph, the Maennerchoir Societygoing to their residence between and 10 o'clock, and escorting them to the festive scene.

Mrs. Louis Rothschild and Mrs. N. Fiibeck deserve great praise for the pleasant evening which all enjoyed, the entire arrangements of the occasion having been undertaken by them.

About two hundred guests were present, among them many of our most prominent citizens.

DAMAGE SUIT.

The I. and St. L,. Kaiiway Sued for Fifty Tttousaud Dollars Jt milage*.

01i\er Wilson, through his attorneys, Messrs. Taylor and Mitchell, has instituted suit against the I. & St. L. railway company for $50,000 damages, for malicious prosecution. It will be remembered that Wilson was arrested by the railway company last December, on a cnarge of changing the switch at St. Mary's Station on the 9th day of June, 1S7S, whereby James Mur ray, a brakeman, was instantly killed, Wilson was tried in December and acquitted. Wilson now sues the company for malicious prosecution, charging the company with prosecuting hirn without cause, the company having knowledge and sufficient proof, that he was not guilty, but that others were guilty of the crime charged. His attorneysj Messrs. Mitchell and Ta^ lor have filed a complaint in four paragraphs. The case will be set down for trial during the earlier part of the September term which convenes next Monday.

IN THE WELL.

A HEROIC MOTHER JUMPS IN THE WELL AND SAVES HER CHILD. From the Sullivan Union.

Monday about half past eleven o'clock just as the funeral procession was returning from the cemetery Dr. Ben Buff's little girl, about three vars old, tell inio the well. The little brother who was with her, screamed, which brought the mother to the rescue. She heard the cries of her child down in the well. Looking down she saw the little one clinging to the windlass, which had gone in with it. Without hesitation she sprang in. placed her feet against one side of the well and her back against the other and descended i» a much shorter time than it takes to write it, secured the child and awaited help, which by this time was at hand. They lowered a ladder, but in doing so accidentally knocked two bricks from the wall, one of which struck the mother and the other the child. Greater injury was sustained to both mother and child from this accident than from the other. However, this is thought to be nothing serious.

PROBABLY FATAL SHOOTING AT PRINCETON From the Evansville Courier.

SOME of our citizens, knowing the great expense attending so thorough and large a musical organization as the Ringgold band, and realizing that the members needed, and should have for individual use, all money they may make playing, have suggested to Prof. Breinig the propriety of admitting honorary members to the organization^who would each pay a certain sum per m&rit'h, and in this way establish a ffmd for actual (not individual) band expenses. The plan is a good one and our citizens could not do less than support it after the band having been so liberal as to furnish us with the o^en air concerts. The question is now before the bard and will be decided in a few days. If they should decide to adopt the plan, let our citizens give them a hearty support, and show them that their efforts to please us have not been made in vain.

H. BEADLE.

His Lecture at the High School Session Room Last Night on,

•t

"The Gods of Greece Rome."

and

Teachers and Others in Attendance—A Good Audience—A Splendid Lecture.

From Thursday's Dilly.

The County Teachers' Institute is in session this week. With a view of increasing the interest and adding to the attractions Superintendent Allen has appointed some lectures in the evening. Last night J. H. Beadle, editor of the Rockville Tribune and a newspaper correspondent of note not only here but all over the country", delivered the first lecture of the courpe. His subject was

uThe

Gods of Greece and Rome." The audience, which was a large one for a lecture, was made up chiefly of school teacherR, with here and there citizens. Close attention was paid throughout to the lecture which was given from notes so brief and 60 seldomly consulted that it had all the charm of an extempore address, being delivered in an off hand, and almost convesational style. Space will not permit of more than a bare outline of the lecture, which occupied about two hours in its deliveiy and must be heard to be thoroughly appreciated. He began by saying that the traveler through the modern world sees on every hand strange symbols of a long and half-for-gotten faith. In the drug-store windows may be seen old Esculapiu6—a whitebearded sage leaning upon a knotty staif, on which is coiled a peaceful and" placid snake—or Atlas,—a brawny giant, supporting a huge glebe on his shoulders— or, more rarely, delicate statuettes of Hygeia, goddess of the bath, and other divinities. Over the insurance offices appears the Phoenix, rising from a bed of flame on many an advertise ment appear griffins, sphynxes, Perseus and Andromeda, while in ancient churches not unfrequently appear representations of Astarte that are taken for the Virgin Mary. "In Astronomy are found the old deities at every turn: Murcury, swift messenger of the gods, gives name to the planet nearest the sun Venus, queen ol love and beauty, shines as the evening star Mars, the red god of war, glows in the summer eveuing sky then Jupiter, king of gods and men, gives name to the great planet after that

Neptune and Vulcan, and least but not last, the asteroids (or planetoids) Ceres, Peisephone and Melphomene. In that branch of astronomy which maps the constellations, the wholly starry ^ult is found to be divided between the classic gods: The Zodiac, with its twelve signs, each symbolizes some point in classic mythology. Orion is there, risible in the winter evening sky, with his club and shield. Near hirn are the Pleiades or- Seven Stars. There are Mazzaroth and Ashtaroth Perseus and Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Berenice's Hair, Bootes, the Great Bear and the Little Bear, bright Berenice that shines in the far South and cold Python, the starry serpent who trails her bright folds across the Northern sky. Who were these divinities that gave their names to the constitution?

Here foilowed an account of the plan of classic mythology. In ancient Greece, a thousand years before the christian era, Chaos and Cronos—chance and time, were believed to be bounded by Nox and Erebus—night and hell. An egg floated on the bosom of Chaos, out of which came Eros, veirrifying all things, and from which by final evolution came at last Heaven and Earth.

In the shadowy background of this primal chaos were certain deities called the older gods: Saturn, Rhea, Oceanus, Mnemosyne and others. These deities the lecturer described and classified, giving also an account of the cruelty of Saturn, the escape of Jupiter, the war in Heaven, Saturn's overthrow and the reconstruction of the plan of divine government. Chief in this new hierarchy were Juoiter, Neptune, Pluto, Juno, Themis and Mnemosyne. Later on a second generation of Gods were created. He gave in detail the origin history, province and symbols of Vulcan, Mars, Venus, Apollo, Diana, Minerva, Mercury, Bacchus. Also .of the nine Muses, the three Graces, the three Fates, the Furies, the Nymphs, the Dryads, Satyrs, Somnus, Morpheus, Mormus and the multitude of myths which camped on Olympus, and filled the water, woods and air.

Following this he gave an account of the adoption vv„of this theological system by the" Romans with their changes of names, additions to and modifications of u. After disposing of this branch of his subject he gave the Egyptian, Hebrew, Greek and other theories of the earth, with their several accounts of the origin of man, or animal life. Characterizing it as the semi-his-toric period he gave an account of the Trojan war, of the wanderings of Ulysses as detailed in the Iliad and Odyssey ol Homer.

Hia conclusions may be grouped under these two heads: (i). The ancients were as sincere and fervent as the moderns in their beliefs, and these beliefs were as much a comfort to them as the faith of the people of,todav is to them. "Under this fanciful faith ail tbe domestic and political virtues flourished then as how. Under this head he cited several of the examples with which the pa^e» of .indent history abound such as Cuiti^, Horatius, Virginius and Vt n, mon and Pythias, Scaevola. k-

The lecture was a am irer,ensn compendium, of the the ancients, arrang and narrative tor'm with5' information as full of facts pertinent to an understanding of the ancient faith as an 'frirg is of meat. Just as delivered it would make

TnyUio.u^y oi .! in connected It bristled and wus

an interesfing pamphlet well worthy the attention of such persons as have not the means or the leisure to appropriate to themselves the quaint and picturesque information, lying in the vast stone house of mythology, the choicest portions of which he has gathered together in this lecture.

THE TOWN CLOCK.

Why it Doesn't Run.

A Ltttle of it* History.

From Saturday's Dally.

The city fathers should not abandon the good old town clock. The great white dials look down in mute astonishment at the neglect they are receiving. The hands are motionless. If they could they would stretch out from their eyrie to the four quarters of the city and beg to be given the breath of life again. School children who, commencing next Monday, will depend on the clock as in years past to keep from being tardy, will weep to think their old stand-by is the same as dead. Business men all over town regret it, and those who live within sound of its strike, and who for two years past have kept their clocks by it, refuse to be comforted, now that the old municipal timepice is hushed. Why is this thusly We will explain. Two years ago Mr. Cal Thomas, the jeweler, agreed to keep the clock running on correct time for

$50

a year. This is very cheap. It requires thirty minutes hard work on a crank to wind up the striking machine and people who have never wound anything up except their watches will fail to comprehend how very hard it is to keep the running part of this great clock properly wound. A man can get up a perspiration the coldest day winding the two machines. Mr. Thomas has attended to the work and done it faithfully. The old clock ha* been as reliable as the sun, and everybody has been pleaseti. About a month or so ago the janitor of the church forgot to wait till the clock had struck and commenced to ring the great bell. Just as he was doing this the striking machine commenced .to work. The gong struck when the bell was lifted and was caught under the bell and bent witli its whole ponderous weight when it came down. The result was lamentable. Besides injury to the gong, the wheels ot the striking machine below, were all broken, and the whole machine badly damaged. But this isn't the only thing the matter with the town clock. The old dials are made of plaster, which in the course of years have worn out and are peeling off. This has a disastrous effect on the hands causing them to stop. The only thing to be done is to put metal plates painted white over the dials. But this will require a good deal of work and the construction of scaffolding or hanging ladders as the clocks cannot, otherwise, be reached. It will b« necessary to overhaul the striking machine. Mr. Thomas recently petitioned the Council to furnish the necessary funds. Everybody seconds the motion. It is unjust to ask the church to repair the clock when it runs entirely for the public benefit. The Council, in the GAZ KITE'S opinion, should not be backward in the matter. A Gazetteer yesterday climbed up the church spire to look at the clock. The shutters have been broken out and those frisky citizens— the pigeons, seem to have taken possession. They breed their young regularly there. It is lhe business of the church to provide new blinds. It will be a great protection against birds and weather.

We must not let the old clock stop running. Clocks, don't thrive on rest. This one has run for over twenty years, and was old when it was brought here from Maysville, Kv. shootinTaffray.

A Terre Haute Rough Figures in a Miooiing Affray at

Bridgeton. ,t

... p*romFriday's Daily.

The annual fair at Bridgeton, Ind., twenty miles north of this citv, and six miles west of Rockville, was largely attended yesterday. There were several thousand persons on the ground. Several thousand persons attended from this city, among whom was Frank Trombley, the noted rough and pimp. Yesterday morning FiatiK engaged in a game of "draw poker" with a stranger, remarkable for nothing but his large size and strength. Just as the game was in full blast, a dispute arose between Frank and the stranger. Several blows were struck each way, Tromblv being worsted. At this point Trombley drew a revolver and fired four times at the stranger, who saved himself by dodging from tree to tree. Trombley was ararrested by officers on tlie'grounds and taken before a Justice of the Peace. Thet stranger was fined and Trombly was held to bail in the sum of $150.00. A constable accompanied Trombly to obtain a bondsman when Trombly made an attempt to escape. He was, however, recaptured and taken to Rock^Hle and lodged in jail where he lies now

CHINA WEDDING

.* i\f-

p*w

Of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. McClure, of Mattoon, Illinois.

A Large Party of Friends to go From Here.

From Friday's Daily.

A number of our citizens hove received invitations to the "China Wedding" of Mr. and Mre. E. B. McClure, which will be celebrated at their hospitable mansion at Mattoen, 111., to-morrow evening. Mr. McClure is the General Superintendent of the Indianapolis and St. Louis railroad company. He is aNew Yorker by birth, who many years ago came West, an utter stranger, in search of employment. He found an opening in railroad work, and took hold at once, with that energy and efficiency so characteristic of the man, and which have given him front rank among the railroad operators of the West. We are told he has successively filled each

grade

of every operating department of railroad service, from "'section boss" up to the enviable station he now fills with singular ability and distinction. On the 30th day of August, 1859, he was married to Miss Fanny Paine, daughter of Abner Paine, Esq., who was a cousin of the late Dr. Ezra Read, of this city.

Hon. B. W. Hanna has obtained the consent of tome of the best musical talent of the country to go over and contribute to the eclat of the occasion. Prof. Korthener of New York city, a master of the piano, now a guest of Mr. Charles Eppinghousen, who studied for a time at Weimer, in the Grand Duchy of Saxe Weimer, under the sharp criticism of the great Doctor Liszt, will go with the party and execute some of his masterpieces. Prof. Zerskowt.ky and Misses Flora Sage, May McEwen and Zelia Eppinghousen will also be of the party. The music they will discourse will be very brilliant, and will no doubt cause the friends of Mr. and Mrs. McClure regrets that tlje interval is so long when they- can go again to lend the enchanting sounds of melody to another marriage aniversary.

Mr. and Mrs. McClure have manf friends in Terre Haute, who will wish them much joy.

A WABASH JOKE.

VOORHEES'S OPINION OF CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS FURNISHED BY A REPUBLICAN POLITICIAN.

From the lndlarapolis News. Those Terre Haute politicians are great friends personally, and let no opportunity pass to perpetuate jokes on one another. A good one was told yesterday at the expense of D. Webster Voorhees, which happened several years ago, by Thomas H. Nelson, the sanguinary gloved minister to Mexico. While standing at the Bates house corner one day, Nelson was approached by a lady, who, struck by his distinguished and benevolent appearance, was emboldened to make an application for a donation to the building fund of a church then in course of erection in this city. The lady was a Democratic candidate for (state librarian, and as such Mr, Nelson had happened to know of her. She was not acquainted with him, even by 6ight. After hearing her through he drew himself up and said sternly,

will not give you one

cent, madam, not one cent. Churches and Sunday schools, together with day schools, have we'.l nigh ruined the Democratic party. Not a penny of my mon ey for any such purpose."

The lady was considerably surprised and mildly asked, "whom have I

the

honor of addressing?" With a grandiloquent wave of his canary-gloved hand Nelson handed her a card reading, "Daniel W. Voorhees," saying loftily, "there is my card, madam." "Why, Mr. Voorhees!

am astonished

to hear 6uch sentiments from you, I, too, am a Democrat." Well, then, madam, permit me to say that you take a very poor way to show your loyalty to the party.

tell you

again, churches and schools have almost ruined Democracy. Let me hear no more of your canvassing in such a behalf," and with this Mr. Voorhees walked grandly away, leaving a mystified and worrying woman behind.

UNION PICNIC

Of Itiasons and Odd Fellows at Vermil* lion, Illinois, Yesterday,

V».

SjJWw »J 1

From Friday's Dai ly.

There was a union picnic of Masons and Odd Fellows at Vermillion, 111., yesterday. Over five thousand people were in attendance. Quite an imposing parade was made through the streets, and at the grove there was speaking and the usual festivities of a sylvan gatheHftp. Col. Van Sickel was the"marshal of trie day and W. R. Jewell, editor of the Danville, 111., News, presided over the meeting, introducing the sj^eakers and making an address himself. Rev. R. F. Foster, of Indianapolis, W. G. S. of the Odd Fellows' Order of this State, and Hon. J. W. Wilkin, of Marshall, made addresses. The occasion was a singular one, as such unions are of rare occurrence. It was a gala day for Vermillion, which is a qu'et but prosperous place on the I. & St. L., just across ttyc State line.

THE CITY DADS.

Incidents of Their Trip to Chicago.

Splendid Treatment by Mayor Carter H. Harrison.

What they did and saw—they Have Gone to St. Louis*/

From Saturday's Daily. -y

Councilmen Frisz and Harris returned this morning from Chicago, whither they went Thursday, and where they have been until yesterday evening. The whole party returned to Danville, 111 late last night, or rather early this morning, and while these two came home the rest of the party went on to St. Louis over the Toledo & Wabash road. They will stay in St. Louis until to-morrow evening and then return over the Vandalia. The party was splendidly treated in Chicago by the authoiities of that city. They had scarcely reached the Grand Pacific Hotel, where they stopped, when they were waited upon by Mayor Carter v# H. Harrison, Aldermen CullertOtt and McCauley and Engineer Williams who welcomed them and extended to them the hospitalities of the city. Meeting the parly early yesterday morning and furnishing them with conveyance they showed them over the city. The bridges or viaducts across the railroads at various points in the city were visited and inspected and found to be safe and giving satisfaction. A tour was then made through the parks and to the water works. The fire insurance patrol and the engine houses were examined. At an engine house an exhibition was given of the rapidity with which the fire insurance patrol can get out of their wagons, with the horses hitched and all ready to get into the street. They get out of bed, down stairs through a trap door and ever ready to start in. two seconds. Engine No. 1, the visitors thought, did even better tnan the fire patrol consideting that it requres a longer time to get out an engine than the light wagon of the fire patrol. An alarm was turned in for Iheir benefit, and th men came down stairs, having been bed, hitched up and were out on th streets in eighteen s-jconds. Can ou firemen do as quick work as this?

The committee on sewers spent half the day in an inspection of the sewer system of Chicago, examining them and obtaining important facts and figures in relation to them. They will be full of information on this subject when they return.

The members are all delighted with the warm reception given them by Chicago's new Mayor, Carter H. Harrison, who left nothing undone which could contribute to their enjoyment, and placed at their isposal everything in his power which could assist them in gathering information on those subjects for which the visit was made.

In coming to Danville last night one of the party lost a brand new plug hat, and mourned as one who would not be comforted. Senator Voorhees happened to meet the party at Chicago and returned with them as far as Danville, the rest going to St. Louis, and he with Messrs. Harris and Frisz coming home.

OBITUARY.

On August 13th, 1879, at the residence of her mother on South Third street, died Annie C. Foster. She was born June 25th, 1857, and was thus, at the time ot her death, twenty twCyears of age.

At the age of fifteen she united with the Second Presbyterian church of this city, in which church, ever since, she has been a devoted worshipper and faithful worker. She will be missed in these circles, having been nearly all her life long a regular attendant at the prayermeeting and Sunday school. But she will be missed even more from the family circle, where 6he was an invaluable assistant.

In some respects the last years of her life had been years of hard toil. She was not of a robust constitution, but bravely and nobly took up life's lot as it fell to her from her heavenly Father,, and under these circumstances was developed a remarkably strong and telfreliant character, which enabled her to do whatever fell to her lot with cfciency.

Those who knew her best were those who could best appreciate her useful, devoted life. Her sickness, typhoid fever, was short, lasting only ten days, and now that she is gone a vacancy has occurred which will ever be filled and though her labors and trials are ended, and Bhe at rest in that land where there are no partings, no sorrows, no tears, some remaining will never fce lonely until, through faith in the blessed Redeemer lesus Christ, they are joyfully reunited in heaven.
