The spasmodic attempt to amend the police ordinance last night was such a dismal failure that it is likely that the persons that are not satisfied ate now convinoed that they have tackled a job bigger than they can handle.

OUR PRESIDENT.

Correspondence Which Shows Two Things.

First, That Cleveland is Honest, and Second, ThatHe is aGentleman.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—One of the recent incidents in the President's experience with political applicants seams thus far to have escaped observatipn and report The correspondence given below end about the authenticity of which there is no question, explains itself:-

CINCINNATI, July 24,1885

To the President, Washington, D. C: DEAR Srrt—This community read the announcement of the appointment of to the-— judgeship with astonishment and regret, if not pain, and none were more .astonished^ than those who had signed his petition. And I regret to sayt that my name is to be found upon it. I havo refused several whom I know to be unfit, but I signed this dne, thinking it wotdd never be considered, and not for a moment believing the appointment was possible When first presented to me I put him off and hoped to escape, but ne came again with it and with others. I signed it, thinking there was no chance for its reaching even a consideration. It was signed by many prominent men who hated to refuse and hoped and thought it would result in nothing. re

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 1885.—Dear Sir:—I have read your letter with amazement and indignation. There is but one mitigation to the perfldy which your letter discloses and that is tound in the fact that you confess your share in it I don't know whether you were smocrat or not but if you are, th crime which you confess is the mof&nnpardonable. The idea that this Admin-, istrstion, pledged to .give the people better government jand better officers and engaged in a hand to hand fight with the bad dements of both parties, should be betrayed by those who ought to be worthy of implicit trust, is atrocious, and such treason to' the poeple and to the party ought to be punished by imprisonment lour confession comes too late to be of immediate use to the public servioe and I can only say that while this is not the first time Ihave been deceived and misled by lying and treacherous representations you are the first one that nas so frankly owned his grievous fault If any: oomfort is to be extracted from this answer you are welcome to it.

Yours truly,

SIXTY FOOT FALL.

Johnny Hull Has a Terrible Fall ai the New Court House.

John Hull, aged about 20, a brick mason working for Jacob W. Miller on the new court house, fell a distance of between sixty and seventy feet at 1 o'clock this afternoon. He and another boy named Charley Atkins were going upon the elevator to work after dinner, when Hull, who had been "monkeying" on the way up, lost his balance and fell headlong to the ground beneath, striking on the side of the head. He was within four or five feet of the top when he fell. The elevator is worked by steam power and is used for taking up men, brie* and mortar. Not more than three persons are allowed to go up at once. One side goes up as the other comes down. Hull and his companion went up on the north side. Persons who go up hold on to across beam for better protection. Young Hull, it seem, as he was going up spied a workman across the building and held out his hands in fighting fashion, making some remark about: "This for money.' When ho was picked up he was perfectly conscious. Both the Doctor Crapos were summoned. Coming down Hull knocked two of. the braces off the elevator,. thus somewhat lessening the force of his terrible fall. The boy was taken to St. Anthony's Hospital. He lives on Scott street with his cousin, a man named Thompson. The doctors wore unable to state the extent of his injuries. Blood was coming out of his nose and mouth.

Fritz Patrick, the oolored man who got a 40 foot fall some time ago, was at the building this afternoon on crutches.

At 4 p. M. the Sisters at the Hospital said it was hardly possible for young Hull to live that tne doctors had given him up.

At 11:30 last night Johnny Hull, who suffered a sixty-foot fall at the new court house yesterday, died at St Anthony's Hospital. The Coroner held an inquest today.

A BAD HORSETHIEF. If

Ed Hummer Says He Has Stolen a Dozen Horses.

Edward Hummer, a man arrested yesterday by Officer Roll on suspicion of having stolen a horse at Mattoon, turns out not only to be the right man but it also seems, and there is much congratulation in the fact, inasmuch as he is safe behind the bars, that he is a noted horsethief who has been plying his vocation with great success in past years. Hnmmer, when arrested, refused to tell his name or to say anything whatever. Superintendent Lawlor had received a number of cards to be on the lookout for Ed. Hummer, a notorious horsethief. Accordingly, the description tallying, this morning Mr. Lawlor had him brought out and charged him with being Ed. Hummer. The prisoner gave in, admitted he was the person and confessed that the horse that was found with him had been stolen by him at Mattoon. He said also that he had stolen a dozen horses, but he refused to give names or any of the particulars. Hummer was arrested in this city last March for being a ti^mp.

The Government Building.

The carved capitals for the columns of the new government building arrived yesterday. The work was done by a convict of the Illinois penitentiary, who learned the art under the carver of the stone works of the capitol at Washington.

Architect Bell will change the plans so as to include an iron roof, if Senator Voorhees will assure him of the $50,000 appropiation needed. The building is now nearly ready for the roof, which will not be a mansard as at first supposed but will have a parapet of four layers of stone. The drainage of the roof will be conducted down inside the building to the sewer.

The plans include a room for United States court if Terre Haute should ever have one. There are now United States courts at Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville and New Albany.

The building is today being draped in mourning for Gen. Grant

Harvesters Wanted in Dakota. Mr. Charles Mordaugh, of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul railway is in the city. He says there is great need of hands and machines to cut and thresh the wheat harvest in Dakota. Hands get from $2 to $2.50 per day and board, and owners of machines can make considerable money. Gangs of men are preparing to leave Connersville, Kokomo and liushville. this state, to go out and get work d'iring harvest and return about Oct. 1st. If there are any hereabouts who wish to try it they might write to the railway agent at Redfield, Dak., or Argyle or Campbell, Minn....

THIS CUT SHOWS THE

The quietude of our village was, on last Sunday somewhat disturbed by a few of the citizens making a display of their pugilistso skill. The difficulty arose from one of the parties setting his dog on some of the village hogs that were tresspassing. Our farmers are in the merriest mood over the bright prospect of the most gigantic corn crop that has ever been seen in this country. It is an indication of better times coming. The oats in this vicinity is excellent. The Seeleyville correspondent has mistaken the identity of the man who has goue into the dog shipping businens when he identifies him with the Riley correspondent. Our town has been visited with an unusual amount of sickness this summer, though we are glad to know that it is abating. The number at present is less than at any one time for the last six weeks. Mr. James Mewhinny and Mr. Joseph Graham are among the present member.

The twentieth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. David^ Wallace, one of our most esteemed citizens, was celebrated last Monday night by his many friends from the surrounding country. All came with well filled baskets and everything was done to enhance the evening's pleasure. The wishes of the people are at last gratified by the appointment of Mr. Wm. M. Hickson as postmaster of Riley. Mr. Hickson is an excellent citizen, a staunch Democrat, and a model man society. I do not know of another man in our village whose appointment could have given better satisfaction Our trustee, Mr. A. A. Gordon, is again with us from his long absence as sg^nt for the Buckeye Machine company, making glad the hearts by his cheerful disposition. I understand that he has selected all the teachers for the township and that his selections give almost universal satisfaction. The great interest he has shown in the welfare of Riley township ought to endear him to the hearts of hi? constituents. The schools have all had unparalleled success. Vive Le Gordon! The Riley

GUESS.

MRS. LUCINDA R0SS%

She Has Seen the City Grow From Three Inhabitants To Its Present Size. THE GAZETTE of Saturday contained a notice of the death of Mrs. Lucinda Ross, of north Third street, which occurred on Saturday moping at 3 o'clock resulting from congestion of the stomach, Mrs. Ross was one of the oldest residents of Terre Haute. The following interesting sketch of her life has been obtained:

When five years old she came to this city from Ohio with her father, Thos. Gordon, and took a claim just north of the water works at the bend of the river. The bend to this day is known as the Gordon's Bend. At the time they came here this town was nothing but a wilderness and thick hazel brush. There were only three white families here and there was but one store kept in an old log hut by a man named Duwees. Thos. Gordon, father of the deceased,built the old Court house and Mrs. Boss used to carry his dinner to him over a narrow path made by the wild deer. Indians were numerous those days, and were often hostile and caused trouble to the few inhabitants. She was married in her ninteenth year to Wm. Ross, who died about 8 years ago, by the veneraple Charley Noble, who was then a squire. Mrs. Ross leaves two daughters. Mrs. Chas. Lambert and Mrs. Chester Freelend, of north Fifth street

Circuit Opens at New Koss and Closes at Terre Haute.

The Special Purses—Fine Chance for Cattle. •f *...

The' Western Indiana Fair Circuit opens at New Ross, Montgomery county, next, and will continue each week until the wind up in this city on Saturday, Sept, 19. The prospects of asuccessful circuit are so bright that each society is already assured of the largest and best show of stock ever seen in this section of the country.

In this county applications for stalls and space commenced coming in several days ago, and the directors are devising ways and means for the accommodation of exhibitors. At the last meeting of the Board it was determined to build at least one hundred new cattle stalls in the grove. These will cost about $700 which amount the society can easily raise if those who have subscribed for new stock will come forward promptly and take it Tip.

The show of beef cattle will be very fine. In this department the society offers a primium of $200 for the finest herd. To this amount has been added a citizens purse of $210, subscribed as follows: Frank McKeen $ 25 H.. Hulman 25

W. Thompson 25 James M. Sankey 25 James Dailey 10 Anton Mayer 10 C. A. Ray 10 A. Grimes 10 W. P. Ijams 5 J. C. Kolsem 5 U. R. Jeffers 5 J. Phillips 5

romises to be even better than the exof cattle. Horsemen from all portions of the state have signified their intention of being here, and Illinois will be better represented than at any previous fair. The races this year will also be much better than usual. At present the society is soliciting subscriptions to a citizens' purse of $200 for Vigo county horses to harness, either trotters or pacers, that have never beaten three minutes, each horse tv be owned in the coupty at least ninety days prior to the race.

An effort is also being made to arrange for a prize drill for Terre Haute companies one day of the fair, the conditions being that the society shall offer at least $50, and that the Thompson I^fies will participate.

Several propositions have been mado for a bicycle race. The Knights of the Wheel at home will not enter for a money consideration, as that would rate them as professionals, while several have been heard from at other points who have no conscientious scruples on that score. The matter will probably be settled at the next meeting of the Board.

Persons desiring to send articles to other fairs in the Circuit can have premium lists by calling on the Secretary, 301 Ohio street, who will render any necessary assistance.

The judges in the live stock department this year will all be non-residents of this county,and will be selected as far away from home as possible.

The family season tickets are out and in the hands of the treasurer. If the citizens will only be as liberal in their patronage as the managers are untiring in their efforts the fair this year will be as successful as any ever held in the state.
