Thera is nmsenm running In full Must In a vat-ant 6tore-room on North Main ftruet, Which draws well.

The performances behind the curtain are neither belter or worse thau hOWl of this class. The Sunday school missionary concert for February will be held at Grace M.

The management of the Indiana, IIloomlnKton Western road have fully decided upon expending a handsome sum ot money this vear in cutting down grades on the line. It It yearly becoming more apparent that roads Which have light grades are operated on a much smaller per cent Ol the gross earn ings than are Ihe roads which have heavy grades. Kor this reason the Chicago Al ton is devoting its energies to levelling its lines. The Lake Erie dk Western has been making very free with the streets of Fiunkfurt, and on Thursday the working force of the road was arrested in a body by the city marshal for obstructing a highway, and lie ties and iron removed from the street by a force of, extra police. Hundreds of people gathered around the scene of operations, and public sentiment is very pronounced against the Lake Erie road for tho outrageous proceedings.

For some time certain small boys have obtained free admission to the shows the Opera House by entering the old Democratic headquarters, in the rear of Mr. John T. 1.U-liard's law office, and looking through a win dow in th room, which commanded a view of the stage. Messrs. Tlllotson it Fell blocked that little game by barricading the window in such a manner as to shut oil" tho view.

The ghostly halls of the Democracy are no longer haunted by the small boy in consequence of this strategy. A railroad company has been organized Under the name of the l'coria A Pekln Hail-road Company. The company proposes to operate upon a system similar to that of the Ihlcago A Western Railroad Company, do all the busihsss between Pekln and l'coria, and the switching at both points for the following roads: Tho Indiana, BlOOBSlngton Western, the Peoria, Decatur dt Evaneville, the 1'eoria, Pekln fc Jacksonville, and the Wabash. The four lines named are parties to the contract, and arrangements will bo made by hich the Illinois Midland and the P. 8.

W. will co operate with them. AMUSEMENTS. HL'MITY DUMFTT. Gilmore A Mlaco's mammoth "Humpty Dumpty" company at the Opera House this afternoon and evening.

The troupe is spoken of In the highest terms wherever they have appeared. The RalamaaOO Gazette says: "The performance was all very superior, and gave tho very best satisfaction. The trained dugs were a whole show In themselves, and the horizontal bar performance was fine; the ballad-dancing excellent, and Miaco as Humpty Dumpty kept the audience in a perfect uproar." The Detroit Free 'mi speaks in flattering terms of the show, as follows: "The action is rapid, tho fun is spirited, Alfred F. Miaco is a very amusing clown and tbr. remaining neonle are In the riirht places.

The second act is devoteu to speciauu-A, among the best seen upon the Detroit stage in several years. Aubrey and Dashaway do a brilliant horizontal bar act. l.aura Miaco performs startling feats upon the trapeze. Jennie Miaco's scarf-song, with dance, is admirable. A troupe of educated dogs delight the children, and Alfred Miaco docs wonders ou stilts."

wi'n an 1 I ag Offioooverths Poet-office. ly3o-ly Minor's Model Mechanical Mansion. -Bloomlngton Is soon to have another factory of importance. The Paktabaph alluded some time ago to the fact that the Bloomlngton Furniture Manufacturing Com pany needed the sbop-room occupied by their tenant. Mr.

H. A. Miner, the architect and builder, and that the latter would soon va cate. Mr Miner, for his own convenience, had found it imperative that he should have more shop room. Accordingly, month ago according the public records, he rogh of Mr Walt Uog'-rs and others the Allm lot, Wag just north of the organ factory and east of the ity I across the street.

The lot purchased is 60 feet front and 16 ''Miliar contemplates the erection of a hop 00 feet square, the building occupying the entire width the lot In prder gt through to the rear with teams, a driveway will be made through the building on the Urst floor Si ng the south side. TBISBOF will be built of brick, it, the most manner, with a tin or grav.l roof, WU have a basement, ground floor and upp. 'tory. The front will be of glaselnj th. stile of modern store fronts.

The office, which win be large and convenient Kran.ed.wlH be the tipper floor and will be entered by stairway Inside. The engine-room will rebuilt In the rear of the maui JnuMtaf on with the basement, ttwll be twenty feet lauare. with a brick smokestack seventy feet high, which will run up from the rear or the et Bine room. The rear yard will be COT-and wTth shedding to protect lumber, being seasoned, from the sun and storms. THE I1A3KMENT will be a novel and very important feature of the shop.

It will be eight feet high reaching several feet above the street grade so as to admit plenty Of light, through the numerous windows, and, in It, ull the machinery will be placed The three stories ill all be alike in thts-that each will constitute one Urge room, with no obstructions in It except six columns or pillars for the support of the building. ID the center A STAIUWAY ANIJ Kl-EVATOlt will run up from basement to attic, and over these will be an elevated skylight in the roof, which will admit floods of light into tbe Center of the building. The machinery will bo driven by a twenty live horse-power engine, supplied with steam by a thirty live korse-power boiler. New machinery will be introduced extensively, In addition to the Complete OUtfll now owned by-Mr. Miner.

An exhaust fan will take away-all dust and shavings, conveying them to tbe engine room. Over the latter will be built a dry-bouse, with modern Improvements. The shop ill be UKATKD 11T for which 1 lie exhaust steam from the engine will be utilized, as is done in many of the large factories in leading cities everywhere. The basement will be eight feot, ami the other stories will be twelve feet each, in bight. The estimated cost is from 16,000 to 1 ...111 nn.

II, i i 1 KbotlS for COI1- UIJU 11 Mill uiiu renlence and size and in all its equipments and arrangements to be found anywhere. MR. miner's BUSINESS has growi like that of most successful business men, from small beginning. In after having acquitted himself with credit as foreman for the old Bloomlngton Manufacturing Company, Mr. Miner and Mr.

Robert Greenlee started a little shop together on Douglas stieet, under the tirm name of Greenlee Miner. Subsequently the senior partner withdrew and Mr. Miner ran the business alone. In 1S73 the present Furniture Manufacturing aw imflwsrt, ana iur. Kinvi rented a part of ti building and power, and manufactured sash, doors, blinds, and office furniture.

About this time he opened an architect's office, and, (hiding the work pressing him In this liue, be look a young German named Miller out of bis shop and taught him to use the pencil instead of tho saw. Mr. George H. Millor for it was none other than the accomplished draughtsman of to-day proved an apt scholar, and rapidly grow to bo a master of his art. Mr.

Miner has for years been accorded a leading position among the best architects of the State, and has furnished the plans for a vast number of Important public and private buildings in Bloomlngton and elsevjhere. It shows nerve and a confidence in the future growth of this city and surrounding country, when a man in his situation, who is in a position to know all about the advertised lethargy of this community as regards its building interests, feels justified in making a mors of such importance and expense, it tells better than a 400-page volume could do, that one man, at least, and he, who of all ojliers, is brought face to face with any dis couraging features that may be seen, believes that Bloomlngton is going to go ahead. It shows thai the surface indications are false and the tidal wave of returning prosperity is beginning to be felt strongly iu business circles. In relating, yesterday, to a very prominent business man and banker of this city, Mr. Miner's plans, venlured the opinion that the.

latter was on the right track, and that he was making a prudent and, no doubt, profitable move. The new building will be commenced in a few weeks, and it will be pushed through to completion in May if it can possibly be done.

Jack Duff was tried yesterday before Esq. Zaik Lawrence, and was discharged. The fatuier, wboss name is James TThlUkeg ton, and lives south of the city, was very drunk, ans) gave Jack a $10 bill to that they aaljcbt take a hack ride to a kouee ot fragile reputation. The two fellows were both too drunk to know what they were about, and the court daeided that it was a case of mutual embeazlement, and that whisky was the real thief lteekman's Predicament. Rev.

J- V. Beekman, pastor of the Christian church at Arinington, who, as the Pan TIOBAFB related, was arrested, charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill bis wife, was taken before 'Squire Mur-dock, at Miuier, and held under $5(0 bail for his appearance at the next term of the court. Rev. Beekman claims that it is jealously on the part of his wife, who is jealous of the servant girl, also denies that he attempted to threaten her or take her life. As he crossed the threshold where the- hsavy cell door was swung on Its creaking binges for bis admittance, it was then that he wilted.

Tears rolled down his cheeks, and were beyond his control. He was very uncommuna-tive yesterday morning, and realized his position keenly. The Wesleyan Board of trustees met last evening at the law office of Mr. H. G.

Reeves. The gathering was for the purpose of bearing the exact condition of the subscription 1 ist to the mortgage debt. The meeting was largely attended, and Dr. Adams was highly complimented for bis unexpected success as a debt-raiser. There fire still more funds needed, but so much has been done that the success of the effort is assured, and tho first payment will now be made on tho bonded debt.

This payment will probably b8 $10,000, which will so reduce the debt that the holders of the mortgages will consent, to grant further time on the balance till the time subscriptions come due. About of the was raised in Blooming ton and vicinity. Royal Proclamation by the Ma inierehor.
