The

aew Gravel Road-

Messrs. Schee and Barbour are getting along first rate on the St. Mary's gravel road. The road they are at work on is that which runs north, immediately west of the river bridge. They expect to gravel two miles of it and are making arrangements with the Vandalia road to haul gravel for them from the Maxville pit. The road will cost about $1000. Of this about$256 were subscribed in town apart will be given by the county com^ miss loners and the remainder by Messrs. Bchee, Barbour and and the other farmers along the line. This stretch of road has been one of the sandiest and worst in the county and its substantial improvement in this manner is a great accomplishment.

FromWedneeday's Bally."

The Art Hall

Is well worth visiting. It is well filled, and contains some very beautiful work. Mrs. L. M. Thomas contributed a large number of herfchoicest paiutings to the collection, greatly adding to the character of the display

Miss Grace Havens has somo beautiful oil-paintings on porcelain and canvas. Miss Mamie Hammerstein's tapestry picture and pencil drawing are well executed and show great proficiency.

The exhibition of fancy work is unusually good. ?vf5 A beautiful* stifa pillow %orked in flowers and leaves, by Miss Frank Wortz, attracts considerable attention. Miss Grace Havens has also made a very pretty sofa eushion.

Soma engravings on silver plate, by Leo Statz, are exceedingly well executed. The fancy laces are very fine, and 'surpass anything before- exhibited at oui fairs.

J. M. Adams' corner is very attractive, both from the beauty of some of the pictures, and also from the excellence of the likenesses.

Mrs. B. Kellerman, of New Buffalo, Mich., has a very attractive exhibition ®f ornamental moss goods.

T. N. Crowley displays a case of very fine surgical instruments.

The Paris Gazette perpetrates the iollowing as though the Vigo Agricultural Society

obliged to abide by

their wishes: "—Many of our citizens, in both city and county think it a very mean trick on the part ot the Terre Haute people in holding their fair on the same week, when they knew that our fair has been appointed tor the first week in September, for years past. That kind of a bird won't sing.

Confessed at Long Range. George W. Ledgerwood, trustee of Stockton township, Greene county, this state, left his home about two weeks ago, and on the 20th of August wrote a letter from Terre Haute to one of his bondsmen, George W. Ellis, announcing his defalcation. It is said that the amount is something like $2,000, for which his bond is good. In the letter, Ledgerwood says: "1 have spent money that belonged to the township, but I did it for the purpose Of making something to pay debts and saving you trouble. That I have failed where others have succeeded, is my misfortune. Of course you could have me arrested as a criminal, but I don't think either due of you wish to do that. Don't know that I ever will see you again, but you shall hear from me, aod shall never lose anything by me, if I live."

A WIFE SEARCH.

.r.. v.- "fsv.*

The Success Mr. Phillips of Meadville, Pa., had Here in That Bitiness.

The early part of the week a man who represented himself as Norton Gleason, an attorney of Meadville, Penn., came to this city. The man's real name was Samuel Phillips and his mission here was to find his wife, who had left Meadville and came to this city. Mr. Phillips had consulted Mr. Gleason, his at torney, before leaving Meadville and he advised him to assume his name while in Terre Haute, as it would conceal his true identity. Acting on this advice, he took a number of Mr. Gleason's professional cards and used them here. The modus operandi Mr Phillips had recourse to in his search for his wife was to give a letter to each of the letter carriers addressed -to her and they instituted inquiries for her. Letter Carrier Baganz found the woman had been at John L. Wagner's on south Thirteenth street, but some one had tile graphed her from Meadville informing her that Mr. Phillips had left for Terre Haute and she had returned home,

The reason for Mrs. Phillips' conduct in leaving her home in that manner, it is said, was that her husband had been drinking aud she did not care to live with him while in that condition. Mr. Phillips was still in town this morning

Incendiarism.

Last Sunday night anew church building, just finisned in the country near Centerville, Pierson township, was burned to the ground. Carpenters had jast completed their work on the pretty little ed flee and at half past ten at night it was discovered to be in flames and was com pletely destroyed. The money to build the church was raised by subscription and it had not all been paid in. It is a heavy blow to the congregation. There is no doubt but it was the work of incendlaries,and it must be said that it was an uncommonly depraved scoundrel to do such a deed. The church will be rebuilt.

Last night in the same neighborhood the hou-e ot Mrs. Ellen Taylor, widow of Jacob Taylor, was set on fire and burned to the ground. She WSB quite an old lady in teeble health and almost helpless. Her house wa9 set on fire— possibly by the same villians who set fire to the church.

A Pin Eating Dog.

Mrs. Fremont, of south Seventh street has a dog, a German terrier, that eats pins. Mr- Ellsworth was there last night and the statement seemed so incredible that he scarcely believed it until saw it done. The dog picks up the pin and bends it and throws it out and bends it again until he gets it just right when he swallows it. After he has swallowed one he hunts eagerly around for an other. Mrs. Fremont says he has been doing this all summer. Cambric needles he snaps in two and then swollows. He is not very old now and next summer he will probably out grow this and tackle darning needles and after awhile lunch on crow bars.

A Row

Camp.

There has been a serious rupture in the camp of that tamous local organization, the Goodwin, Williams & Hager dramatic combination, arising irom a misunder ing. Noticing that Prof. C. W. Williams had gone into the balloon business and would make an ascent from the Pair grounds, Jno. Hager hastened to the conclusion that the Williams referred to was one of their firm and wrote a letter to Goodwin full of bitter reflection en the perfidy of Charley Williams in going in to "an outside scheme," presumably on theprestige of the firm, without ever making the most distant allusion to a drwyThis letter with a caustic postMript by Goodwin was for warded to Williams, and mutual explanations have followed.

Chief Vandever has the following force under him Wm. Lewis, Sen Reagin, D. C. Chap pel. James Baker,Peter McE?enM,L.Barnard, Jas. McGuitv. N W White, and Wm. Miller.

JUDGE A. B. CARLTON.

He Mdtkes Denial of Pierrepont's Mormon Bugaboo-

OVashtngtbn Special.)

WASHINGTON, September 4.—Hon A. B. Carlton, of the Utah Commission, under date of Salt Lake, Augustpo^writes to Secretary Teller, defending the commission against the criticism contained in a recently published statement purporting to have been made by Hon. Edwards Pierrepont to President Arthur. The commissien, Mr. Carlton says, will make a fall report of their doings in Utah before Congress meets, which he thinks will convince Mr. Pierrepont that he has been imposed upon. For the present he insists, and only wishes to say in behalf of the commission, "that every charge *nd innuendo that the gentlemen composing this board have been improperly in fluenced or have failed to discharge their whole duty under the law to the best of their ability and jadgment are based upon information that is wilfully and wickedly false. The board is charged under the law with the duty of excluding all polygamists from voting and from eligibility to office. This is the full extent of our authority under the law, and in this our wark has been completely successful. We have excluded some 1,200 polygamists from the polls, and at the November election ot 1882, at many municipal elections since that time and at the general election in August, 1883, em bracing about 800 officers who were elected, we have excluded all polygamists from eligibility. In short, the commission has strictly and stringently executed the law of Coagress aud has stretched tbe legal tether to its utmost tension in order to make it as effective as possible, in so much that the Mormons have sued the members of this board in ten different cases for what they allege to be an excess of authority against them.

TOLEDO.

Letter from Mr. Dan Wataisley now a Resident There. [The iollowing are extracts from a letter to the GASETTE, lack of space preventing the publication of all of it:—EDITORS GAZETTE.

TOLEDO, OHIO, Sept. 2d, 1883.

To the Editor of the Terre Haate GAZETTE: FRIEND BALL:—As an occasional cor

respondent of your estimable paper in times past, I thought a few lines irom this locality might prove interesting to the readers of the GAZETTE. I came to this city last spring, after the death of my wife: I am much pleased with the city and its surroundings, and although I regret my departure from Terre Haute after a residence ot twenty, years, I am getting quite used to Toledo and its society. I confine myself to what I think would be of interest to your readers. This beautiful city reminds me of its similarity to the Spanish city of that same name and is situated on the Maumee river, about twelve miles from Lake Erie. It has a population of84,000. There is a line of steamers daily to Put in Bay, Mackinac, Detroit and all lake points, besides the various railroads centering here afford quick means of ingress and egress to and out of tbe city. The climate is superb, neither hot nor cold and to a person ot active habits it is delightful. In my experience of an eventful life aud a residence in many cities, I can frankly say,that Toledo is the "Boss.', The streets are paved with square rock McAdamized, and tbe Nicholson mode sidewalks in many streets 22 feet wide with a grass plat,next ience,and next curb with a brick or asphalt walk in tbe center and the most beautiful shade trees I ever saw. Another feature of this (place is its churches and public buildings. The St. Francis De Sales at the corner of Erie and Locust has a chirae o! eleven bells and everyday the citizens can have Sweet Bye and Bye,Home Sweet Home, "Coronation'' and almost any other tune they desire. On Summit street from the intersection of Cherry and St: Clair to the Ialand House (Union Depot) the glare of the eclectric light in public and private buildinga is bewildering in the extreme and impresses the viewer with the spirit of improvement The Brush Electric Light is a fixture and you can have electricity almost as cheap as coal oil. Then the view on the beautiful Maumee is entrancing. Large masted vessels, tugs, steamers pass constantly plying between here and other ports. Bv the breaking up of ice last winter and the
