1t Brought the Heaviest septem ber
Rainfall In Forty Years.
The Weather Bureau reports show the
! highest and lowest temperatures yester-
day to have been 64o and 560, with very
light and variable winds and showery
weather prevailing.
The barometrical readings at A. NJ.
and p. N. were 29.934 and 1892 inches,
respectively, which shows that instru-

The rainfall yesterday was IA of an

Inc greatest amount ever known to
! have been measured during the entire
month of September was III 1851, when
one inch was precipitated and the pres-
ent is the first time in forty years that
even that amount has fallen. The present
storm has produced LA inches. There
has been a greater rainfall during twenty
four consecutive hours at other periods
in September than during the present
storm. which has given but SO of an
inch for the tweuty-four hours ending at

again in $780, on the 2Sth and 10Th, when

there was measured in twenty-four can

For instance, a handsome smooth Melton

There are some remarkable Meltons in

Overcoats fine enough for any man.
No advertisement Of these goods can do

In the Art Gallery.

When the number Of pieces shown,
and their variety and artistic character
are all considered, it is to be said that
Mr.. Stanton has the most meritorious
exhibit in the gallery of any California
artist Neither Mr.. Hill nor Mr.. Keith
has done so well as they are capable Of
in their exhibits this year. Mr.. 1elland
and Mr. Heath have good exhibits, but
not level with that first named, and Mr..
Reaser's, while large and very fine, is
confined mainly TO figure pieces, but is
like Stanton's in oil and in water colors
and pastel. If Stanton is to be counted
out because OF his position as Superin-
tendent, then it follows that Reaser has
the best claim to the gold medal. How
ever, the medal is by no means reflec-
tiou upon any contestant who does not
get it, particularly as about all the old
sterling California artists have had il ono
or more times.
The same is to be said of the silver
medal; an unwritten law has it that it
should not go ont in any class twice to
the same artist. But this IS rule that
may be and should be broken where the
merit of the work ia so strong as TO over
come all other considerations, such as
the number of meritorious pieces, their
character, etc.
Continuing our notes Of pictures of
merit in the gallery. we call attention TO
these especially: In the water color col

Was held at Huntingburg last Sun
day, and was fairly we'll attended,
the people of the city being present
in good numbers. Four townships
only were represented-Patoka,
Cass, Madison and cambridge.
The choirs Of the M. +. and Salem
congregations furnished excellent
music. The Convention was called
to order by President Ernst J..
Blemker, who requested Mr.. d. l..
Bonner, of Vincennes, to occupy
the chair. Mr.. Bonner accepted
and made an excellent presiding Of
ficer.
One thing remarkable, rather in
a Sunday School Convention, was
that every one who had been as
signed a subject was present, and
presented their topics in an inter-
esting manner, thus adding matefi-
ally 10 the success Of the conven-
ton.
Mr.. r. NJ. Milburn, Esq, was
elected President of the Convention,
and Of the Association, for the next
year, and Mr.. Elias K~atterhenry
Secretary. An executive commit
tee Of one from each township was
chosen, with instructions to en-
deavor to interest all the townships
in the work.
The question Of time and place
for next convention was brought up,
and after discussion was referred to
executive committee to decide in
the future, as interest developed.
The hope IA expressed that at
the next convention every township
in the county will be represented, !
and much good accomplished.

BIG FIRE.
The Jasper Manufacturing compasy's
Plat Destroyed Friday Morning.
Loss $1,000.


Last Friday morning about ?
O'Clock fire was discovered in the
Manufacturing Company's building,
about the center, and in a few hours
the building with four cars of wal
nut, sycamore and gum veneer.
three cars Of poplar shingles, and
about two cars OF drawer bottoms,
cut to sizes and baled, ready for
shipment, were destroyed together
with the fine machinery, involving
a loss of about 81, 600. Most Of
the finished material would have
been shipped this week, as it had
been ordered and was inspected and
piled near the front Of the building
for convenience in loading. How it
caught is a great mystery, as no fire
had been in 80 feet of where it was
first seen.
On account of the general heavy
losses all over the U. S. this year
by the Insurance companies upon
Planning Mills, Saw Mills, Veneer
ing factories, and similar manufac-
lures, the companies determined
as fast as policies expired to refuse
to renew them at any premium, and
the Mfg. Co.'S. largest insurance ex-
pired about a month since, and at
the time of the fire it had only
1900 insurance, 1900 in the
North British and Mercantile. and
$500 in the Washington, and these
would have expired next month.
The Companies are represented in
Wilson's agency, and the adjuster
is here to examine the loss. The
companies had each forbidden the
renewal of the insurance at the ex-
piration next month, but they got
caught too soon.
The Manufacturing Company is
an incorporation, but the shares
YER bought in till all were owned
by Messrs. Ferd. Schneider, Frank
Seibert and F. KAISER. 1t was do
ing a fourishing and profitable bus
and it is probable the owners
will rebuild, if favorable shipping
can be secured from the rail-
road company. Otherwise the own
ers are likely to engage in some bus
mess that does not require any ship
ping, or establish a plant where rates
can be had from some other rail-
road. If started here it will be on
a much larger scale than heretofore,
and would furnish many cars Of
and give employment to
more men. If rates cannot be Sc
cured a small plant will likely be
by others to supply the de-
.and Of the Jasper Desk Company.
The matter will be determined in a
few days. The loss to Jasper,
should it not be rebuilt, will be
considerable, as it gave steady en-
to II men. This is one
Of the instances where a liberal spir-
It by railroad officers would con-
duce to the profit Of the road, and
build up a permanent business for

cording to the Government Stats

the gold-bugs would compel the SO
per cent. to be cramped and unprof-
table, in order that the 4 per cent.
might make fortunes. The SO per
cent. would receive a great impetus
by adopting the coinage Of Jefferson

benefits would reach every farm

but the gold-bug ,sfinanciering would
help only the gamblers in stocks,
millionaires, and persons with fixed
