The State Liibrarianship. Miss Alice Fischer is in Indianapolis, working for the office of state librarian, for which position there are less than fifteen candidates. An Express reporter yesterday asked a gentleman who had just returned from Indianapolis, as to Miss Fischcr's chances of election. He replied: "If a woman is elected to the office think Miss Fischer's chances are very good, but a determined light is being made against the election of a woman to the office. The lady has made a more thorough canvass than any of her competitors, and has made numerous friends. She has had the assistance of quite a number of influential men, and for this reason I think if any woman is elected she will be the one."
Another gentleman spoke of the fight against the election of ajjy woman to the office, accounting therefor by the fact that the politicians have grown tired of feminine rule in the office. He added, however, that no first-class timber has offered itself to take the place of a lady.
Mexican War Veterans. The Express is in receipt of a postal to the following effect,with the request to publish:

A Dog-Gon.e Story.
L. F. Perdue mourns the loss of liis valuable bob-tailed bird dog. The dog from its hunting excursions acquired quite a taste for railroad traveling, and Wednesday afternoon, after loitering a while around the Union depot baggage room, jumped 011 the east-bound Vandalia passenger. Mr. Perdue made his appearance at the depot shortly after, and learning that the dog hail started in the direction of the Democratic legislature, telegraphed the conductor of the train to put the dog off. This was done at Clayton, but as yet the wanderer is far from home.
School Change.

HAIIiBOAD EVENTS.
News all Along the Skirmish Line, and by Associated Press.
There was a remarkable dearth of local railroad news yesterday. The Vandalia car accountant's office is resplendent with new paint, new paper, etc.
The E. & T. H. took out four new refrigerator cars from the car works yesterday, for the Chesapeake & Ohio.
It is said the Gould earnings will show an enormous increase for the year 1S82, as compared with the previous year.
The state legislature will in all probability during its term establish a railroad commission similar to the one now in force in other states.
W. H. Smith, first vice-president, and late traffic manager of the L. & N., is now in full control as general manager, the latter office having been abolished with the retirement of De Funiak.
Ind. Journal: The stockholders of the Terre Haute & Logansport division of the Vandalia receive no dividend this January, all surplus earnings having gone into improvements of the roadbed, and §150,000 additional.
Ind. Journal Col. Wm. B. Tuell president of the Terre Haute & South eastern road, is in the city. He boasts of having forty miles of as smooth track as there is in the west, and the mortgage debt on the line is only $6, 000 per mile.
The Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis has ordered fifteen new engines of the Grant Locomotive works. Five are now finished and will be shipped within a few days, and the whole number is expected within ninety days. Two hundred new freight cars have also been contracted for, to be delivered within four months. Fifty miles of heavy steel rail has been contracted for, and will be laid early in the com' ing spring.
New Baggage Rates.
By the new baggage arrangement, which will go into effect on the 1st of February, ordinary travelers will be allowed "but 150 pounds of baggage no piece weighing more than 250 pounds will be taken commercial travelers will be allowed but 200 pounds on a ticket, and no more than 750 pounds will be carried for any one traveler, On all commercial travelers'-~sample baggage weighing over 200 pounds the regu'ar excess baggage tariff rates will be charged, it being agreed that the excess baggage money-book shall be adopted, and that to commercial trav elers they shall be sold at nothing less than a net rate of S4 per 1,000 miles per 100 pounds, and that nothing less than 25 cents per hundred pounds shall be accepted for fifty miles or tin der.
More Gould Extensions.
It is rumored that the bridges on the Des Moines Northwestern (Wabash Narrow-Guage) are to be strengthened and widened for a standard gauge track, which indicates that the road is to be relaid with a standard gauge track and form an extension of the Wabash to Dakota. The rumor that the Des Moines Northern, another Wabash Narrow-Gauge running north to Boone, was soon to be transferred to the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul is denied at headquarters, and on the contrary it is said that the road will the present year be pushed north in a direct line as a broad-gauge to St. Paul, and thus making an almost airline road from St. Paul to St. Louis for the Wabash. It is affirmed the means are already provided to build the road.
Tho I. & St. Ii. Consolidation. A New York special has this to say of the reported consolidation of the I & St. L. and Bee Lino with the Nickel Plate: There has been more or less rumors in railroad circles for some weeks relative to a consolidation of some sort of the Vanderbilt roads. So far as can be ascertained there is no foundation for the statement that the New York Central and Lake Sbord are to be consolidated. It is possible that the announcement will soon be made that the St. Louis, Alton & Terre Haute has been leased by the Indianapo lis & St. Louis uf on the guarantee of the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati
Indianapolis, thus placing all these under one management in the A'anderl)il interests. This accomplished, there will be no necessity for a consolida tionof the lines, although some of the Western railroad managers regard it as probable that this is the intention.
AMUSEMENTS.
Merry War.
S
THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS. FRIDAY MORNING. JANUARY 5.188S.
give
Haverly's opera company will Strauss' melodious little opera, "Merrv War," at the Opera house to-night. "Merry War" was heard here for the tirst time recently, produced by a German com pan}'. It made a favorable impression, and since then there lias been a general desire to have an English version of it. This Haverly's company will give. The Indianapolis Sentinel, of a recent date, says: "Another large audience gathered last night at English's Opera house to witness Haverly's troupe render the new opera, 'The Merry War,' for the third time since the opening at the Christmas matinee. As we ga vea minute account of the opera and the way it, is handled by the Haverly company in yesterday's Sentinel it is not necessary that it shall be repeated here. Anybody that attends operas or theatrical exhibitions of any kind should go and see 'Merrv War.' It is a beautiful opera, brimful of musica' gems and various attractive features, The costuming, stage setting, orchestration music, etc., are all exquisite and should be seen several times to be appreciated. Another presentation to-night. Go and see it by all means.
Sol Smith Russell.
This popular comedian will appear at the opera house to-morrow night in his successful comedy "Edgewood Folks," of which the Chicago Times, in a recent issue, says:
Tiie "Edgewood Folks" are with 11s again, with Sol Smith Russell as the leading feature. A large audience greeted him at the matinee yesterday, and a crowded house in the evening. Mr. Russell commands easily as much hilarity as ever, perhaps more, as he, contrary to the rule with others in similar styles of acting, seems to grow racier and more genially funny with each repeated visit, notwithstanding the fact that much of his characterization, and especially his comic songs, are about the same as when he first appeared in this plav. Doubtless" there are many who have not seen and enjoyed "I Am a Big Boy Now," the Dutch "Rhine Wine" song, etc. but to the majority of theater-goers they are tolerably familiar, and something new in these and in his excellent character sketches would doubtless please his most ardent admirers. His support is very good, about the same as when seen here a year ago. Even the^numerous small children who constantly surround him play as naturally as if each one were lighted up with a ray of his own genial histrionic art. The play has been considerably improved, some matter left out, and some other introduced. It. was always a felicitous vehicle for carrying
Abroad.
BERLIS, Dec. 6.—Edwin Booth has accepted an engagement at the Besi-
Mr. Russell's specialties, but the changes made render it even more so, bringing them in with less appearance of forcing than formerly. It is a remarkable attestation of his genuine comedy gift that, with so little change in his own work, except such as consists in more complete rounding out of familiar sketches, he preserves the flavor of freshness and tne capacity to impart genuine enjoyment, and confirms'him in his rank as among the very best delineators of refined comedy on the stage.
Atlantic Theater.
A rousing house assembled at the above theater to witness one of the best entertainments given this seasou. The artists are all clever in their respective lines, and are duly appreciated by their auditors. The Murdells are fine trapeze performers on the high bars. Hughes and Morton do some artistic acrobatic work in the song and dance line. Edwards and Storms are neat sketch artists, and too much praise cannot be bestowed upon them. The Randolph children claim their share of appreciation and receive it by their neat and exceedingly clever acts. Something new is to be introduced this evening in the shape of amateur's night, when several local aspirants will appear before the footlights. The reputation of this resort is due to the obliging and courteous manager, James Hearne, who, in every sense of the word is a gentleman and an excellent performer.
OUR POLICE.
Kind Words by the Democrat of Our Folice and the Chief. In its first issue the daily Democrat had the following to say of our police force:
The following statement will show the doings of the police force from May 19, 1882, up to and including December 31, 1882, during which time Mr. C. E. Vandever has been the chief of police. Mr. Vandever keeps a register in his office wherein the names of all arrests on criminal charges are entered, and from which we copy the following: Petit larceny 41 Grand larceny 81 Burglary 15 Horse thieves 7 Arson 1 Fugitives 33 Rape.. :dU
Seduction Murder
Total 139 Eighty of this number have been sentenced to terms in the state's prison of from one to seven years. Value of goods stolen SI,000 00 Value of goods recovered 705 00 Value of goods not yet recovered.. S «5 00 Number of criminals awaiting trial Escaped Pla'ntield boys recaptured 2
POLICE BOARD.
James B. Lyne, mayor, president Jos. H. Briggs, secretary A. J. Crawford David Phillips Chas. E. Vandever, chief James Bishop, lieutenant John Cain, roundsman.
Since Mr. Yandever has been chief of police, and mainly through his efforts, quite an acquisition has been added to the department, in the way of a patrol wagon, the want of which has long been felt. When an officer makes an arrest now he goes to the nearest telephone, calls up headquarters, states where he is, and in a short time the wagon is at his service. The wagon is quite a benefit to the force and fills a long-felt want. The record given above is a very creditable one to the police force, and especially to Chief Yandever, for under his prudent management the city has been carefully guarded. Mr. Yandever lias been doing police and detective duty continuously since 18(58, at which time he served as deputy sheriff for W. H. Stewart, until his term expired in 18G9. In June, 1869, he was appointed on the regular police force under Daniel Crowe, who was then chief (and a good one, too,) and served until 1S70, when he organized the first merchants' police force, and served as its chief officer until 1872, when he was reappointed on the regular force under Luther Gilmore, and served until Albert M. Buckingham was elected city marshal in 1876, when he served as" "Buck's" deputy until 1S78 the police force then being under Demo1 cratic administration, Mr, Vandever wa3 employed by the E. & T. H. R. R. Co., as their detective, and held that position until September 9th, 1880, when he was appointed lieutenant of police, under Harry Russell, and held that position until May 19th, 1882, when he was appointed chief of the force, which position lie now occupies. Thus it will be seen that Mr. Yandever has been actively engaged in police business constantly for the past fourteen years.
THE LIGHT FANTASTIC.
The New. and Proper Things With the People tlint Dance. "There is not so much dancing this winter as last. How do you account for it," asked an Express reporter of Prof. Oscar Duenweg, yesterday. "The people that dance are resting from last season, to a great extent. Next season the accomplishment will have full sway again, I think. The older class of dancers will be succeeded by the young people just entering society." "Are there any new dances this season "Not very many. The leading new round dance is the 'La Russe,' which is destined to be very popular. It is danced in six-eight time, and partakes of the character of the galop and mazurka combined. Then there are the National Guard and Lawn Tennis quadrilles. The former is composed of squares and circles, and is patterned after the style of military dances in general. The five figures are dedicated to the National Guard—North, South, East and West, and the United States Army." "Are any of last year's dances popu-1 lar this season "Oh, yes. There is the standard plain quadrille, the lanciers, and the Cape May.lanciers, known in the east as the Slinuet lanciers. The polka is also popular this year." "Is the racquet a recognized dance?" "It is not. This dance is a combination of tho redowa and galop. The name originated from the galop called The Racquet.' Another form of the racquet is the 'Society,' and the 'Newport,' »known in some places as the ripple.' None of these dances are taught this season."
Death of An Old Citizen. David Smith, father of John Smith, the well digger, died at his residence, 1619 College street, at eleven o'clock Wednesday night, aged seventy years. Deceased was an Ohioan by birth, but came to this city in 1824, and has lived here since then. The disease that caused his death was pneumonia, which attacked him the day before Christmas.
A Dear Drink.
A countryman went into an East Main street saloon, yesterday morning, after a drink, and left his team standing unhitched. The horses became frightened and ran away, reducing the wagon to splinters. The countryman walked home.

Base Ball Talk.
Already base ball plans and schemes for the coming season are being agitated, and the Awkwards are to meet next Monday night to lay out the course to be pursued by that club. There has been considerable talk of a park, but this will probably fall through. Several gentlemen of this city made an effort, to secure ground for a park last season, but the only available property in the city was placed at such high figures by the owners that the negotiations were dropped. The local tight during the coming season, as during the last, will be between the Awkwards and the Blues. It has been reported that several members of the latter nine had joined with the Awkwards for 18S3, but so far this lacks confirmation.
