TERRE HAUTE, IND.
PREPARED FOR THE
TERRE HAUTE GAZETTE.
1894.
KELLY BROTHERS, PUBLISHERS.
.
1
T HE Gazette's object in the publication of this volume is to give a pictorial representation of Terre Haute's citizens, institutions and points of interest as they appear in 1894. Pictures. and especially those made from the ever minutely accurate camera, convey impressions much more clearly than words. For this reason the descriptive matter which prefaces the photographs is much condensed and is chiefly statistical. Some of the photographs are old, but most of them have been taken especially for this volume and are, therefore, up to date. The idea has been to make a book so convenient in size, so excellent in printing and so durable in binding that it will not be put away in some drawer to be mislaid, but will be entitled to a position on the center table with the family photographs.
Of course it is not complete. It has been impossible to get some photographs which ought to be in it; but it is thoroughly representative of the professional and business men of the city.
Such a pictorial history will have increasing interest as the years roll by. A similar volume ought to be issued every five or ten years.

HISTORICAL.
Terre Haute and Indiana are of the same age. Both were born in 1816.
In the great territory between the Mississippi river and the Alle- gheny mountains and the lakes and the Ohio river, the Wabash is the most considerable river. On the east bank of the stream, midway between its head waters and its mouth, nature had placed an elevated plateau. It was the natural site for a town. The highland that made it the proper location for a town suggested to the French voyageurs its name of Terre Haute.
Later on the descriptive appellation of the Prairie City was given it. when the little cluster of houses huddled together on the river bank had spread out from the thin fringe of forest skirting the river at that point to the open prairie beyond. But tree planting along the streets and in the yards began so early, and was prosecuted so persistently, that Forest City would be more appropriate than Prairie City now.
Terre Haute is in latitude 39º 28' north, longitude 10° 20' west. Its altitude above sea level is 498 feet.
One Joseph Kitchell had entered the land on which the town stands, acquiring title from the government. Of him it was purchased by the Terre Haute Land Company consisting of Cuthbert and Thomas Bullitt, of Louisville, Abraham Markle, Hyacinth La Salle and Jonathan Lindley. They organized a town company and filed the original town plat October 25th, 1816, and an amended plat May 20th, 1825. When it became incumbent upon the three commissioners appointed by act of the legislature to locate a county seat for the newly organized county of Vigo, the Terre Haute Town Company secured it by a donation of the public square and other lots, and $4,000 for the erection of a court house and other buildings.
The first census of the town was taken by the late Charles T. Noble in 1829, for his own satisfaction, and showed 579 inhabitants. Another census was taken by Mr. Noble, August 5th, 1835, and it disclosed a popula- tion of 1,214 inhabitants. The United States census of 1840 showed 2,300; 1850. 3,572: 1860, 8,594; 1870, 16,103; 1880, 26,042; 1890, 30,217.
Incorporation as a town was accomplished under act of the legislature Jan. 26th, 1832. April 30th, 1843, it was decided by a popular vote to become a city and the first election for city officers occurred on the 30th of May. 1843, the total number of votes cast at the election being 752.

In its early days the only way of getting to Terre Haute or away from it was by the river. Other towns were far distant. Man set to work to bring them near. The first step was the completion, in 1823, as far as Terre Haute, of the National Road. that great highway projected from Mary- land to Missouri by the national government. In 1849 the Wabash and Erie Canal was opened and the first boat reached the town. It was an epoch in its history. But the canal was doomed almost before it was done, for in 1852 the railroad from Terre Haute to Indianapolis was opened and the frontier town of a few years before was thenceforth to be linked by iron bands to all the continent. Other roads followed in quick succession until today it is the center of nine roads radiating from it as the spokes from the hub of a wheel, making it as a railroad center the second city in Indiana.
In certain widely divergent lines Terre Hante stands pre-eminent among her sister cities of the State. No other city of Indiana has so many educational institutions or so many students. She is the Athens and Alexandria of Indiana.
In the production of pig iron and the manufactures into which iron enters, no other city in the State approaches Terre Hante. This is also true of the manufactured products from corn, and of the production of alcohol.
In those essential elements of urban existence, light, water. cheap fuel gas and street transportation, she is equipped as well as any city in world, for she has the latest and best.
Within the next few years there is every reason to expect a develop- ment and a growth greater than at any time in the past, for her advantages are every day becoming better known and all they need, to be appreciated, is to be known.
EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES.
Terre Haute is the educational center of Indiana. This is not an idle boast; it is a fortunate fact. There are other cities which have impor- tant educational institutions. Lafayette, Greencastle and Bloomington all have one college each, of which the citizens of the State may be justly proud; but Terre Haute has a number, and among them the largest State institution-The Indiana State Normal, with an attendance of 1,200; the Rose Polytechnic Institute; two Female Colleges; two Commercial Colleges, and a great free and parochial school system. Education of both sexes in all branches may be here obtained. The advantages are so obvious as to attract the attention of parents all over the country. The following is a brief review of the schools:

ROSE POLYTECHNIC.
Owing to the munificence of the late Chauncey Rose, Terre Haute can boast of as fine a school as there is in the country, in the Rose Polytechnic Institute, which is devoted to higher education of young men in chemistry, mechanical, civil and electrical engineering.
It was incorporated in 1874 under the name of Terre Haute School of Industrial Science. The corner stone of the "academic building" was laid on the 11th of September, 1875, and on the same day the board of managers amended the articles of incorporation, changing the name of the association to the "Rose Polytechnic Institute."
The Institute was opened March 7th, 1883. The following persons compose the board of managers:
Hon. Richard W. Thompson, LL. D., - President.
Ray G. Jenckes, Esq., Secretary. Demas Deming, Esq., Treasurer.
Hon. William Mack. Preston Hussey. Esq., Wm. C. Ball, A. M.
Leslie D. Thomas, A. M., William S. Rea, Esq., Robert S. Cox, M E.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Terre Haute free public school system dates from January 21st,
1853. Sixty-three different persons, twenty-five of whom are still living, have served in the capacity of school trustees. James Hook is the sole survivor of the first school board. The life of the late Miss Jane Hersey was closely related to the history of our schools. she having taught in Terre Haute's public schools from 1853 to 1892.
The growth of the schools is not in any way more clearly manifested, perhaps, than in the obligations of the treasurer of the board. In 1853 the bond was $3,000; it is now $200.000.

THE INDIANA STATE NORMAL.
The act of the General Assembly which erected the Indiana State Normal School was approved December 20, 1865. Terre Haute gave the ground and $50,000 in cash. The school opened January 6. 1870. The building was destroyed by fire, April 9, 1888. The accumulation of eighteen years was destroyed. The city provided suitable temporary quarters and subscribed $50,000 to rebuild the school The State gave $100,000 and the building was rebuilt by Shewmacker and Junclaus, of Indianapolis. In 1892 the legislature gave $40,000 for an additional building. The attendance this year (1894) was over 1.200. Total number of students since the opening has been 10,220.

The Summer School is now a permanent and vabuable feature of the Normal, and is conducted with much ability.
TERRE HAUTE COMMERCIAL COLLEGE.
The Terre Haute Commercial College was founded in 1862, by Prof. William H. Garvin, and is one of the great schools of the State. There are about 250 students in the four departments of shorthand, typewriting, actual business and telegraphy. All the branches usually taught in the best commercial schools are included in the course. The faculty consists of seven teachers. It is now conducted by Prof. W. C. Isbell.
GARVIN COMMERCIAL COLLEGE.
Garvin's Commercial College was opened the first part of the year 1893, by a stock company, composed of business men of Terre Haute. It is located at the north east corner of Third and Wabash Avenue. The course of study includes book-keeping. penmanship, commercial law, business forms, shorthand and typewriting. The enrollment numbers about thirty- five pupils. The school is now owned and conducted by Messrs Will Garvin and Patrick W. Haggerty.
COATES COLLEGE.
Coates College is a plant of the Presbyterian Church, under the care of the General Assembly's Board of Aid for Colleges. and was founded March 17, 1885, by Mrs. Jane Patterson Coates, of Greencastle.
Coates College is situated on a plateau at the foot of Sixth Street, on what is known as the "Strawberry Hill." The grounds abound in wild flowers and forest trees.
The school and grounds occupy 13 acres and the estimated value of all belongings of the school is $100,000. Mrs. Coates' endowment amounted to $20,000 and the college was named in honor of its founder.

ST. MARY'S ACADEMIC INSTITUTE.
This is one of the most noted Catholic institutions for the education of young ladies in the West, situated just four miles west of the city in a charming location. It is under the direction of the Sisters of Providence, and it is also the mother house of that order in the United States. The first Academy, a two story brick building, was opened in 1841, in what was then a wilderness, by six Sisters of Providence who emigrated from France. The corner stone of the present large Academy was laid August 15, 1860, by Bishop de St. Palais. The average enrollment now is 200 pupils, coming from a number of Western and Southern states. The Academy celebrated its Golden Jubilee June 23, 1891. The ground of the Institute covers 400 acres, and that part adjacent to the Institute is laid out in a very attractive manner. The imposing stone Chapel, which was begun in 1886, cost $175,000 and is of the Renaissance order. The faculty of the Institute comprises thirty teachers and much attention is given to painting and needle-work The Academy has its own electric light plant.
CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.
Parochial Schools are attached at present to all the Catholic Schools of Terre Haute except St. Ann's, which church was this year destroyed by fire. St. Joseph's Church has both a male and female school, the estimated value of both being $25,000. The male school is a handsome pressed brick structure. St. Patrick's Church has its male and female School in one large brick building which cost about $S,000. The St. Benedict's (German) Church has a fine Parochial school valued at $20,000. The Sisters of Provi- dence exclusively teach in the Catholic schools of Terre Haute.
CHURCHES.
The Church edifices number forty-two. The various denominations are as follows:
Baptist, 7; Catholic, 4; Christian, 3; Congregational, 3; Evangelical, 2; Jewish Synagogue, 1; Lutheran, 2; Methodist Episcopal, 11; Presbyterian, 3; Protestant Episcopal, 2; Reformed, 2; Seventh Day Advents, 1, and United Brethren, 1.
S
THE HOME OF THE TROTTER.
Terre Haute is the home of Axtell, the phenomenal.
The Terre Haute race track is famous wherever the trotting horse is known and prized.
The 2:04 track in this city is the fastest in the world. All the greatest horses in America are trained here because the climate, the soil, the grass and the track are the best.
The purses here, $90,000, for a single meeting, are the largest ever offered anywhere.
But these are not the only distinctions for which the city is famous as the center of interest concerning the trotting horse. There are a number of great stock farms here .. Very large sums are invested and more is being constantly added in the successful breeding and training of record-beating trotters and high-priced roadsters.
The principal stock farms are as follows:
Warren Park, the home of Axtell, owned by Mr. W. P. Ijams.
Edgewood Stock Farm, the home of Jersey Wilkes. owned by Prest. W. R. McKeen.
Willow Ridge Farm, the property of Mr. P. J. Kaufman.
More Park, owned by Mr. Benj. G. Cox.
Others are Walnut Grove Farm, Beechwood Stock Farm, Anton Mayer Farm, and Jno. Pugh Farm where coach horses are bred.
THE RAILROADS.
There are nine railroads entering Terre Haute. It is on the line of three of the largest railway systems in the country, the Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt systems, and the north and south lines of the Porter system. The lines are as follows:

In the business world Terre Haute enjoys the distinction of having the largest wholesale grocery in the state, Hulman & Co's; the largest wholesale dry goods store, the Havens & Geddes Co. There are many other wholesale houses, nearly every line of goods being represented.
In manufactures the city heads the list with the largest car works in Indiana: two of the largest distilleries in the world: the headquarters and leading plant of the Standard Wheel Co .; the only piano case factory; the only shovel works in Indiana and is the center of overall factories. The next few years will see a great development of the manufacture of paving brick and other clay products in this county. Terre Haute leads all of the cities of the state in flour and hominy milling.

CHARITIES.
The charitable institutions of Terre Haute are in an excellent con- dition and are successfully accomplishing a great work; the result of a charity that speaks in private and public donations of our citizens and through the munificence of the late Chauncey Rose.
The object of the Society for Organizing Charity is the promotion of whatever tends to the permanent improvement of the poor. S. B. Davis is President of the society and W. C. Smallwood, General Secretary. The society endeavors to make work the basis of relief and to this end runs an employment bureau, a workroom for women and a woodyard for men, where able bodied persons can earn meals and lodging at the Home for the Friend- less. Deserving poor, unable to work, are cared for free. Last year the society investigated about 2.500 cases.
St Anthony's Hospital is now one of the best equipped institutions ot its size in the country. It was established in September, 1882, by the Sisters of St. Francis, under whose care it still remains. In 1883 Mr. H. Hulman, its leading benefactor, purchased and fitted up the present building. He was assisted in the enterprise by donations amounting to about $10,000. The new St. Anthony's Hospital was dedicated January 1st. 1884. About 5,000 patients have been cared for with a total mortality from all diseases of about eight per cent. One hundred patients can be accommodated at one time.
The Terre Haute Sanitarium, a pay hospital. is managed by private individuals.
FREE DISPENSARY.
In the will of Chauncey Rose was a provision to set aside $75.000 for the purpose of erecting and maintaining a dispensary for the free distribu- tion of drugs to the poor. The interest has now increased the amount to $130,000. A structure to cost $42,740 is now being built on a $15,000 lot at the corner of Seventh and Cherry streets. This building will furnish a permanent location for the Rose Dispensary, and the rents from the halls, store rooms and offices will increase the annual income. The original sum will be left as a permanent endowment.
THE ROSE HOME AND ST. ANN'S.
The Rose Orphan Home was organized in 1874 and the buildings were formally dedicated on September 3rd, 1884. The permanent endowment fund, the gift of Mr. Rose, consists of investments estimated at $300,000. The buildings, grounds and improvements valued at $113,146, were paid for entirely with interest money. Up to the present date 463 children have been taken into the home. The average number is 90. L. P. Alden is the Superintendent.
St. Ann's Orphan Asylum, located at the south east corner of Thir- teenth Street and Sixth Avenue. is connected with St. Ann's church and is under the direction of the Sisters of Providence. Girls, only, are cared for here.
.
11
OLD LADIES' HOME.
The Old Ladies' Home, which is located on north Fifth Street, has, during the six years of its existence, furnished a friendly shelter to many feeble and needy women. W. R. McKeen purchased the site for this purpose and turned the management over to the Rose Ladies' Aid Society. The maintenance is by voluntary contributions and small legacies, which have been left it.
A list of Terre Haute's charitable institutions would be incomplete without mention of the Rose Ladies' Aid Society, Hebrew Ladies' Aid Society, Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Woman's Relief Corps, and the Aid Societies in the various churches, which devote much time to alleviating the wants of the poor.
NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES.
The newspapers now in Terre Haute (1894) were most of them estab- lished many years ago. The fact that during the past twenty years nearly twenty daily papers, started in competition with those below named, have suspended, with disastrous financial loss, would seem to indicate that the city will not support a larger number.
NEWSPAPERS.
The Daily Evening and Weekly Gazette (1868), published by Wm. C. and Spencer F. Ball; the Daily Morning and Weekly Express (1821), by Geo. M. Allen; the Saturday Evening Mail (1870), by Messrs. A. C. Duddleston and Fred Piepenbrink; the Daily Evening and Weekly Journal (1884) by Jacob E. Wollf; the Afro-American Journal (1890), by J. W. Washington; the Wabash Exponent (1891) by J. W. Jarvis.
