THE OOUNOIL-MEAUS BUSINESS IN THE WAF Oi' IMPROVEMENTS.
W. Waugh the New Engineer—Mam Street to Be Sewered, Paved ana Uurbed —Street Oar franchise Deferred.
Although culled meeting last evening's session of the city council was 11 most important and interesting one. The connciltnen aie a unit in taking a broad view of our city's future and consequently they have all given up the idea of running the city government ou the "cheap" plan. The very first thing done Inst night was an instance of this. Mr. Reynolds opened up with sensible speech on the necessity of securing the services of a first class civil engineer. The present salary attached to that office, §00, was too littlo in his opinion to tempt it good man to take the place. He cited numerous instances to show that all the engineering done on our streets was patchwork of the worst de scription, the surface drainage was in such shape that water stood on many of our streets for days after a rain or thaw. This he said was no reflection ou prev ions engineers because they were not paid enough to do thorough work. He was in favor of paying SI,000. At Frankfort, Lafayette and Bloomington they pay the engineer 81,200 and fnrnone assistant. Mr. Smith was of the same opinion and thought a com plete topographical survey of the city should be taken and bench marks established. All work done by the engineer should be put on record, something that heretofore has never been done althougb
Mr. McConnel staited out to do it. Mr. Myers said from his experience in building he knew it did not pay to hire cheap men and therefore he was in favor of paying the city engineer $900. Mr Vanarsdall thought that, even it all the grades in town were wrong we couldn't afford to regrt.de owing to the expense and he was in favor of paying the engineer only SS00. Mr. Reynolds remarked that all improvements should be made is carefully and correctly as if we had 1,000,000 people instead of 8,000. A motion 10 fix the salary of the city ea gineer at $000 was carried by a large majority. Nominations for a successor to Engineer McConnell, resigned, were then made as follows: Stanley Simpson, by Mr. Myers, Fred Huffman bj
Mr. Viirinredall, Hertnun McCleur by Mr. Reynolds, James M. Wangh by Mr. Scott. Mr. Wangh received three votes, Mr. McCleur one, and Mr. Si run son two. On motion of Mr. Smith tht election of Mr. Wangh was made unanimous.

Declaratory resolutions for the build ing of brick sidewalks on the south skitWabash avenue from the Monon railroad to Pine street and on the west side of Pine to Jefferson were passed.
A resolution was introduced instructing the engineer to draw plans and estimate the cost of improving Main street from the Vandalia railroad to the western limits of the city, by building necessary sewerage, paving with vitrified brick on a substantial foundation, curbing with stone and platting with grass between the curb and sidewalks. The ayes and noes were called and each of the six voted aye. The Council have been investigating the improvement for several months in a quiet way and thev believe the paving will not cost $2 nor less than SI.50 a square yard. While it a big undertaking yet under the Bar ret law it will be no burden to property owners ae they have ten years to par the cost. It is probable that the en gineer will not complete his estimate in less than a month.
The opening of Plum street will bicmsidered by the city commissioners March 20-
The Btreet oar question then came rip and both ordinances were read. Thi Kankakee ordinance was the same ar before except that Mr. Hatch in a letter to his attorney, T. L. Stilwnll, stated that they would be willing to complete six miles the first year and begin work in 80 days. They still declined, how ever, to give bond. The ordinance askeo for by A. F. Ramsey and Mr. McXarv. of LoganBport, proposed to give a 85,000 bond, to complete two miles the first year and to build more after that under the direction of the council or give up their franchise. It contains no provisions about paving between the rails, the fnre to be charged, the style, heating and lighting of the cars, etc. Both franchises provide for rails instead of the flat rails and this was considered bv Messrs. Reynold^, and Smith an objoc tion on account of the difficulty of vehicles crossing the tracks. Mr. Ramsey and Mr. McNary were present aud explained that they proposed to put a plank on each side ot the rails, obviating this difficulty. Ou the question of pav ing between the tracks the conncil was not satisfied either and as the hour was late a motion to adjourn wns made Before it was carried, however, the coun nl decided to take a junket to Logar.spoit, Indianapolis, Kokomo and other places to investigate and satisfy themselves on several points before granting fran chiso of so much importance. Tt is likely that decisive action will be taken at next meeting a week from Monday evening.
XOTKM.
We congratulate the city on its new engineer, Mr. Waugh. Even conservative men like Vanarsdall and Myers voted for the improvement of Main street.
Councilman Smith says 300 towns the size or Crawfordsville have street car lines. Of course one would pay in Crawfordsville.
Mr. McNary Bays a street car company would be well satisfied the line paid expenses for the first two years. He also says he would not agree to pave between, the tracks aft they do not propose to use mules, And there will be no wear on the street.
Entertained.
R.B.Snyder yesterday entertain'd Br. J. L. Campbell and family. Prof. J. H. Osborn and family and J. J. Insley in honor of the inaugnraMon of Grover Cleveland as President. The affair was a magnificent one and did due honor to its genesis. The guests report a most pleasant day under a most hospitable loof.
DUNGHILLDAISIES.
Fat Sheriff Bible and a Pair of .Prehistoric Handcuffs Intimidate a Multitudinous Mob of Dead Gauie Sports.
The great international fietio salutation between the immortal Kid Henderson and tho imperishable John Osborn didn't come off.
It appoars that certain high toned and legally wise young rascals who declaim over the several bars ot the city concerning the undeniable rights of the citizen and the quality of beor, had declared that prize fighting was legal and the Henderson-Osborn exchange of compliments would take place in
BjJite
of
law nnd order. They even went so far as to proclaim that that the fight would occur in a barn on the farm of Sheriff Bibie, near New Richmond, and that if our lord high executioner interfered that he would be put in the ring and soundly punched by the two redoubtable pugilists as a sort of a comic curtain raiser for the heavy six act tragedy to follow. Very naturally this pleasing information reached the ears of tho great- mud god and caused his blue blood to boil like Hot Springs, Arkansaw. Ho swore a mighty oath and throwing depjity sheriff Branr.on and a pair of superann ate 1 handcuffs into a buggy he drove off post haste to Now Richmond arriving there last evening several hours before the gladiatorB and their half shot followers. The trip to New Richmond is said to have been exceedingly gay. There wore about an hundred goodly gentlemen in hacks and wagons and everybody was drunk and dressed up. They whooped, cursed and sang ribald songs along the highway so loud and furiously that honest farmers thought they were a committee from the legislature bent on robbing the New Richmond bank. The principals, Henderson and Osborn, had little to say and in fact couldn't have said much if they had so desired as neither of them withdrew the demijohns from their mouths long enough to take a respectable breath.
When NewRichmond was reached everybody went into Boswell Clough's bar and proceeded to struggle valiantly for a condition of blind and beastly intoxication. In the midst of the delightful seance Sheriff Bible came tragically striding into the room shaking a pair of handcuffs and calling out, "J. command peace in the name of President Cleveland, Judge Harney and the Commonwealth!" He received numerous invitations to drink and one young 1 na hit him iu the back of the head with a hot wienerwurst. He declared, however, that the fight couldn't take place in Montgomery county and all the drinks
Coal Creek township could make him see in any other way. The crowd howled but Bible stood firta ynd when a big sport full as a goat waddled up to him the i^ood Sheriff gave him a shove in the throat that throw him with such force that it shook all the lemons off the shelves. It was proposed by several worthy young men who mounted inverted whisky barrels to air their patriotic sentiments that the whole congregation adjourn across the line to Tippecanoe county and break open a convenient school house for the consummation of the evening's amusement. To this sparkling gem of thought, however. Mr. John Osborn, who throughout these trying scenes had displayed the heroism and fortitude ot a cast iron dog, interposed his objections. He believed in our great public school system and was strenuously opposed to deluging the floor of the nearest school house in the land with the blood of such a man as Kid Henderson. The happy response of Mr. Henderson was drowned in the drunken bawls of the enraged sports who were being ruthlessly kicked out by the sheriff. Tho journey home is probably not remembered by six men in the entire party. It is said that the majority were so beastly full that they were loaded on a wagon like cord wood and dumped at the valley saloon to sober off.
Here To-Morrow Evening.
It is very creditable to Mr. J. Emmet that he is able to continue the popularity of "I''ritz in Ireland" after its innumerable repetitions, and in face of the comparison with his father that nat urally suggests itself. This comparison is not odiouB. It is not thought that the son will ever have for the public the same fascination that the elder Emmet exercised over it but he dances with grace, has a musical voice and acts with spirit and pleasing humor. The audi ence that assembled to see him again as i'ritz at the Olympic last evening was well satisfied with the entertainment provided. The play is picturesquely set, its striking scenes showing the church and cottage on the Rhine, a ruin in Ireland by moonlight, an interior,and an ancient castle with characteristic landscape. Agreeable features ure the jannting car and donkey, the chimes, the infant choristers and the big church organ.—Press Notice.
