To-Morrow a Long Way Off When Help is Wanted To-day. Comfort is never in a hurry. Pain ond distress are in hot haBte. It is to the "friend in need"—the friend who does something now—that the old adajre pays the compliment of being "a friend indeed."* That they do not keep the snfferar in suspense is the salient excellence of BENSON'SCAJ*CINE POROUS PLASTERS. The plasters of other days—whether porous or otherwise— said—"wait until to-morrow: We can

nothing on the spur of the moment." utpaib unrelieved, like b«pe deferred, xnaketh the heart sick. Benson's plasters act on application. Ther permeate, soothe, warm and heal, containing, as they do, chemical and medicinal agents of the highest eMciency. Their motto is how, ana the genuine have the word CA.PCIWB cut In the middle of each plaster. Price 35 cents. Seabury Johnson, Chemists, New York.

GOOD TESTIMONY

As to the Excellence of Carriage Work is its Wear,

And this sort of testimony Wm. Poths has in abundance. His work is scattered all over this city, the outside townships and the surrounding counties aHd hundreds of people can testify that it is solid well built honest work. His factory is still od Third street below Ohio*

Bakbum's advertising car is in town, and his twelve agents are stopping at the National. They will make this their headquarters tor several days, while they go into tbe surrounding oountry, advertising the performance to lie given here next month.

Messrs. Toute & McKktcitah have teorganized their orchestra and are prepared to take orders for a superior kind of dance music. Their office is at McKennan and McClune's cigar store on Ohio street between Third and Fourth. These gentlemen are old and well known musicians aad dancing masters.

Obstruction of the improvement of the park does not seem to be in good taste since the council has accepted the gift of Mr. Collett and appointed commissioners to see to its proper improvement. These commissioners receive not a cent of pay for their expenditure of time, and at least deserve courteous reatnunt.

TRULY A HERO. Pte.tLPuA

One of Those Noble Souls Who Quietly Sacrifice Themselves to Save Others.

Bpacial to the Commercial-Gazette. Memthw, Tebn August 32.—The brave locomotive engineer, Martin Higgins, of the Elizabethtown Railway, wounded last Thursday, was in a dying condition at Covington, forty miles north of here, this forenoon. When Higgins' engine was thrown from the track by colliding with a cow, he fell under the beiler, and when the train hands ran .to dig hira out from beneath the scalding steam and heat, he said. "Leave me, and flag No. 7, juetbehind, right away."

This saved the approaching train, less than a quarter of a mile distant, and approaching the wreck at full speed, the engineer knowing nothing of the trouble ahead. Buckets of cool water had to be thrown upon Higgins, as he lay far under the engine, and this alone saved him trom burning to death before he could be extricated. His wife arrived at his side last Saturday, from her home in Elizabethtown, Ky-, and was with the dying hero. [The subject of the above sketch was at one time a citizen of Terre Haute and an engineer on the Vandalia railroad. His sister is the wife of our townsman JohnF. O'Beilly and his father and mother are still living at St. Mary's. His remains were brought here for interment and were buried to-day beside his own relatives in the Catholic Cemetary at St. Mary's this afternoon. Ed. Gazette

Indiana State Fair.

A call at the Secretary's office gives ample evidence of increased interest in this annual event, judging from the large amount of mail matter in connection therewith, and early applications for exhibitiou space, together with the kind expressions from all sources, and the improvements now goiag on, guarantee the assertion that the coming State Fair, commencing September 34th, will excell in every particular.

In addition to th extensive improvements on the grounds last season by cattle and horse stalls, 320 new pens for sheep and hogs are now under way. They are constructed on a new and unique plan, and for convenience and appearance are superior to anything of the kind known. Judging from the past, it is estimated that there will be $1,000,000 worth of machinery and $ 1, 500,000 worth of live stock on exhibition. The amount of business transacted at the Indiana State Fair by sales is far beyond what the casual observer would suppose, and amounts to millions, and the amount of money put in general cicculation by 60,000 visitors is not less than half a million.

Still At Larue. 7

Jack May, the Center Point "murderer, is stilljat large. The father of the murdered young man has offered a reward of three hundred dollars for his arrest, but while this reward ha3 had the effect of of quickening the search with some, May has succeeded in eluding the careful and vigorous search of the Clay County Sheriff and his assistants. Report concerning his whereabouts have been received at various times and from different parts of the county. One report was that he waa seen on the faim of a Mr. Steggs, south of Cory. The Sheriff hastened to the neighborhood but could get no trace of the fugitive.

May is Ave feet six inches tall, weighs 160 pounds round shouldered, and stoops has small and thin moustasche, which has been dyed, and still black when walking he takes very small steps, and raises his teet high has a scar about one and one-fourth inches long on the left side of his face commencing at the base of the cheek has his name "Jack May" indelible ink on his right arm.

Suit For $2,000 Damages Jamer J. Cooke has brought suit againtt John J. Froith, Albeit Williams and Edward J. Hauseman for $2,000 damages. The complaint alleges that on the 9th this month the defendants entered his dwelling house at 275 north First street with force and violence and seized and carried away a cook stove. The men were sent for the stove by Townley Bros, of whom Cook had bought the stove and made a small payment. Cook alleges that his wife was sick at the time and that the noise, confusion and disturbance greatly distressed her mind. John W. Shelton is Cook's attorney.

Gravel Road.

James Schee and W. W. Barbour, who are making, the gravel road from the west end of the Wabash in a northwesterly direction to St. Marys, have completed the dirt work and "Monday began putting on gravel. They get the gravel from a pit in the bluffs near the I. A St. L. trestle. They have a number of teams at work and propose to prosecute the work with vigor. Citizens along the line are subscribing end it is safe to say that ii will be an improvement of incalcuable benefit to the people living in that section.

Sunday School Picnic.

Meant Pleasant Sunday .school wjll give a picnic on Thursday, Aug. 30th, at Thompson's grove, being a beautiful piece of woodland on the form of Col.R. W. Thompson, four miles south of the city and about half a mile from Mount Pleasant church. The picnics given by the teachers and pupils of Mount Pleas ant church have always been very agreeable affairs and it is safe to say that the one of this year will be no exception to the rule. The general public is invited to attend, bringing their baskets. Ice cream and other refreshments will be provided by the school. A good time may be expected.

GREEN-EYED 1EAL0USY.

Mr. Long Comes Home Late .at Night and Plays Smash'

From Wednesday's Daily.

Joseph Long, an Englishman, was on trial before Justice Lockman this morning on a charge of surety of the peace preferred by his wife, Alice, a woman who spoke in broad, English accents, which indicated that she, too, was from the land across the sea. The two live on Thirteenth street. Mrs. Long's story is th»t her husbard, whom she says is insanely jealous wf her, came home late last night, grabbed up a knife, threatening to kill her, and finally ran her out of the house. Mrs. Long said her. husband declared he would swing for her and she says he has done the same thing on at least two previous occasions.

Mr. Long, who works at T. B. Johns' saw mill, says he came home between twelve and one o'clock last night from the wedding of a friend and that he found his wife sitting on the edge of the bed in her night closhes and a man in close proximity to her room. This, he says,' fired his breast'* and he admits that he did chase her around a little and draw the knife. Mrs. Long, with tears in her eyes, said her husband was the most jealous man that ever lived and that she couldn'. look at a man. She said her husband's charges of uniaithfullness were ttallv untrue. She was afraid he would do her bodily harm and she could not liv« with "him any more. LoDg promised the court that he wouldn't meddle with her, but would go his way in pcace, and was discharged. The court told Mrs. Long to give her husband his clothes, but if he threatened or committed violence toward her to inform the court and it would go hard with him. Mr. and Mrs. Long left the court separately, but as one bystander remarked: "They will be living together again before the watermelon season is over." "IV* =1

THE LATE STRIKE.

A Mechanic's Opinion en Strikes in General'Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. 19, '83. To the Editor of the Gazette:

The result of the recent strike of telegraph operators only demonstrated as it has in innumerable cases in the past: the utter futility and suicidal folly of labor arraying its»lf against capital. A body of ten or twelve thousand men calling themselves a Brotherhood have been vanquished! By what Partly by their own tolly, but it might almost be said by the capital of a single individual. The impracticability of strikes, and the disastrous results tJ strikers, ought to be apparent to the mind of every intelligent man and woman by this time. The Bro:herhood, so far as practical results arc concerned, has proven a failure and those operators who are fortunate enough to obtain situations are going back to woik on their former terms, many of them no doubt having accumulated debts which will require three or perhaps six months of the closest attention to liquidate, while a great proportion of them are left out in the cold with but little hope for the future.

The writer of this article is only a mechanic, and has watched the result of strikes for the past quarter of a century, and his observation to be brief and to the point, is that they are "no good." Suppose they gain their point and get a small advance. Does it compensate them for lost time I say no. Suppose again that the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, which is probably the largest and at the sime time one of the most creditable organizations of modern times, should go on a strike. What would be the result Simply this, as in the case just past, the railroad interests would ba crippled for a short time,"but in a very lew days trains would be running on sche lule time, and the strikers would wait in vain for the wheel of fortune to turn up someihing in their favor. I say then to my co-laborers, it you wish to subserve your own interests dissolve all connection with Trade Unions, and exercise your own judgment, remembering that no matter what your grievance may be, you are not to flatter yourself with the idea that if you step out no other can step in. No matter how skilled y»ur labor may be, there are thousands of others eqaally so.

RESUME THEIR KEYS.

Three of the Old Operators Igo Back This Morning as a Result of the

Ended Strike.

Manager Norcross Glad to See Them Back—Something-of the Loss to the Company and Strikers..

From Monday's Daily.

The telegraph strike has come to an end and there is nothing more for the union operators to do but to resume their keys. Three of the old operators went back to their desks in the office here to-day, though it cannot be said that they did it reluctantly, for they, like many others, were very anxious that they should first gain their point. Those of the old force who walked into the office to-day for the first time since the evenllul day upon which they last went out, July 19th,were Henry McPhillips, Dode Carr and James Armstrong. Charles Iiiy being the only member of the old force left out. He did not care to go back at the salary given and says he has a chance of securing a better situation. The only new man to make up the complete list is Mr. Eibbey, of Litchfield, Ills., a seemingly very pleasant gentleman and is said to be thoroughly competent for the position he is to fill. The old force had their choice of positions and as a result McPhillips and Armstrong are to take the press reports and Carr will take his former position on the Chicago wire. Kibbey will work the Indianapolis wire.

In conversation with one of tbe operators this morning, he said that they might as well go to work now a9 the strike was over and if they waited much longer their places would be filled by other men. Their situation is somewhat betiered, at least, as they now have a regulation of time, working nine hours for day and seven for night, with extra pay for Sunday work, but no increase of salary.

The men who have been working in the office have all gone to their homes. McGloryhas returned to Tuscoln, Ills., and Sprague to Tiffin, Ohio, both being superintendent of their respective offices, and were here to help the company out.

While a Gazette reporter was "in the Western Union office this morning, Godtrev, one of the late operators, came in and Manager Norcross gave him a check $107.87 in payment for his services from the first of tbe present month. This is big pay but he was paid by the hour and received a salary bonus. This ceased last night at 12 o'clock. Godfrey said he intended to go up north among the laks to rusticate a while and then return to his home in NfcW Albany, Ind.

When a reporter called on Manager Norcross to ascertain the situation of the company here as regards to the strike, upon beingasked the loss of the company at this poiBt he took out his cash book and showed that the receipts for the Preceding month up to Saturday were only $50 less than for the same lime last year. '•Of course"he said "we were at considerable extra expense here lor operators aad many messages were suppressed but then the company expected this." "How much did the striking operators lose in salaries "About $800, or in other wards they lost a little over a months wages." "You are glad to get the old men back "Oh yes. It lifts a burden off my shoulders and I only hope will not experience anv more such strikes while I am in the office.

SUMMING UP.

Superintendent Eckert of the Western Union company told a reporter of the Chicago Tribune that $5,000,000 would hardly cover the total loss of the company during the strike. The same paper estimates the loss of the striking operators in wages at $400,000.

River News.

The river is the lowest it has yet been this year, and still falling. The Belgrade is tied up below on account of the lew water.

The Belle of Fountain is still at the bottom of the river. It will take several days yet to raise it.

The Little Joker has been rebuilt and repaired until it is as good as new. Some new machinery has been put in, the hull has been remodeled, new wheel bouses have been built, also a nice cabin aft, and the whole thing newly painted. The craft is owned by Frank Byers and Fred Biel. E. W. Leeds will "continue as a pilot of the boat. A trial trip waa taken down the river last Sunday to the Nine Mile Island, and everything worked smoothly.

OBITUARY.

From Wednesday's Daily. ELLA DENNY.

The friends of the family of A. Denny will be pained, though not surprised, for the event was expected tor some time, to learn of the death ot their daughter Ella. An interesting and accomplished young woman, she had made a host of friends who will grieve that she has fallen thus early in life a victim to consumption's wasting power. The funeral takes place to-morrow from the family residence.

Plainfield Lads.

Chief of Police Fasig last night recieved a telegram from tbe warden of the State Reform School at Plainfield stating that three boys had escaped and for him to keep a sharp lookout for them here. Their names were given as Will Partridge, Charles Ford and James Wilson. Partridge is from this city and has made his escape on a previoas occasion

Webb Casto received word to-day that his mother at Franklyn Ind was dying and he and his sister left on the afternoon train.

GENEROUS.

Frank Dudley Offers Countryman S tout's Watch and Chain in "Soak."

Prom Tuesday's Sally.

Frank Dudley was on trial before Justice Lockman this morning on a charge of stealing a watch and chain from Horace Stout. Dudley has been up on various charges before. Stout is a countryman* wore his paots in his boots, and has fiery red hair. He is in the employ of James Harlan, a well known farmer of Prairieton township.

The circumstances are these: Stout, wh. lost his wife sometime ago, and who generally goes on a high lonesome whenever he comes to town with any money, met Dudley down at Sis Haslet's sporting house «m south First street last night. Stout sajs he gave his watch to Dudley to hold for him, but Dudley claims he

fave

it to him as a loan. At any rate, udley took the watch and chain, which are of the value of $13, aud offered them in "soak" for $2 at the Crapo House last night. He afterwards did pawn the watch and chain at T. Leedham's in the East end. This morning he was arrested by Officers Caughlin and Hice. He told where the property was and it was recovered. After the testimony had been introduced, Justice Lockman bound over Dudley in tbe sum of $500 to the Vigo Circuit Court, failing to give which he went to jail. Stout was also held to bond to appear as a witness.

Permission was also granted to W. B. Tuell and others, bondsmen of the street railway company, to have a sewer ^uilt from their new stables on north Ninth street. The sewer will be built either across Ninth to tbe Canal street sewer, or will tap the Cherry street sewer.

A ST. LOUIS SENSATION.

.RELIGION "DOWNS" SCIENCE

Exciting debate at the A. M- E. Church Last Night.

Last nigbt there was quite a crowd at the colored church on south Third street, to hear the champions of the literary club tackle the long expected debate. The subject was:

Resolved, ThaV Religion has 'done more for the progress of the people than Science."

Charley Washington and several assistants championed the affirmative on side of religion, and Simon Daniels, of the Union Depot barber shop, led the hosts of the scientists. It was an exciting debate and each point of advantage was stubbornly contested. There were five judges. Three decided for the affirmative, one for the negative and one was unable to make up his mind, so close had been the conflict of oratory and reason.

New Sewers. .'

The council last night granted par missi on to Wiuard Kidder to build a private sewer, from his residenoe on north Center street, crossing Linton street, and down the alley to the main sewer.

8t Louis, Aug. 21.—Another one ot those mysterious dissappearances for which St. Louis has become somewhat famous, occurred here Sunday evening and has caused great grief in several well known families. On Sunday evening Col. James O. Churchill, vice-* prCsident and manager of the Western Anthracite Coal Co., and his wife went out for a short drive, leaving at home their daughter Mary, about seventeen years old. On their return about 8 o'clock the daughter could not be found no clue to her whereabouts has yet been discovered.

She was last seen standing alcne about 7 o'clock at the front gate of the family residence, 2373 Morgan street, in home attire and presenting no unusual appearance. Detectives have been wbrkinp on the case since last night and every effort has been made by them and by the girl's father and friends, but nothing has yet been heard of her. She was a quiet, grave eirl, studious, devoted to masic'and cared little for gentkmens' society. The only theory so far advanced is abduction. The young lady is described as follows: About live feet three inches high, straight and well developed, light brown hair and grayish blue eyes, oval face, regular features, and sometimes wore her hair banged.

Ward Hayward's Story.

''Criminals sometime^ take queer ohancas" remarked Depot Policeman Ward Hay Hard yesterday aftemoon to a knot of listeners who had gathered around to hear the story, for Ward has had a varied experience including his canal boat days and has many a story to tell. "A good many years ago when Mack, my brother, was chief of police two fellows broke down at the edge of town with a wagon and were compelled to stop 5t 2 o'clock at night and wait till they could make repairs. Mack told me to question them which I did and we concluded to arrest them. They proved as we expected to be horse thieves. They were sent up but escaped and what do, you think they did then

We all gave it up. "Those fellows actually disguised themselves a little and came back heru where they had been captured and tried to play the force a little trick. And I'll be darned if they didn't nearly succeed too. One of them brought the other in to town handcuffed. He said he was Sher-^ iff of some county in Iowa and had captured this man "and wanted him locked up. The make—believe Sheriff said he was out pf funds and needed about $150 to get back to Iowa with his prisoner, ana wanted to borrow tbat much which he would return when he got home. The money was raised and just about to be paid over to him and the bogus prisoner released when Mr. Ray took a good look at them and recognizing the old horse" thieves ordered them both jailed. It doesn't seem reasonable men would take such chances as thai but they did."
