WASHINGTON, January 19.—1 a. m.—For Tennessee and the Ohio Valley: cloudy weather with rain or snow warm easterly winds, generally followed by rising barometer and colder northwest winds.
CITY IN BRIEF.
The Home Circle gave a reception at the Terre Haute house last night. Herman Fatzelt has sold his Fourth street saloon to ex-Constable Henry Heuer.
Dr. W. II. Hall has purchased the drug store of Jonas Seely, on west Main street.
A well known young drug clerk of the east end is soon to be married to a young lady of that portion of the city.
J. S. Gott closed his Wall street saloon yesterday. This leaves a total of eleven saloons within a square of Wall street.
The Junior Dancing club at Dowling hall, last night, was fairly attended, and an enjoyable evening was spent, the Ringgold furnishing the music for the dancers.
A building permit, the second of the year, was issued yesterday to Timothy Lehan, for the erection of a two story brick store room, on lot 1, Harbertand Barton's sub., at a cost of $2,000.
Commodore Chauncey Twaddle lias received from the U. S. inspectors at Evansville, his license for 1883 as a pilot on any steam vessel of one hundred tons or less, plying on the Wabash.
Capt. M. N. Smith received a letter from New Orleans yesterday, stating that the inter-state prize drill in connection with the MardiGras festivities, had been postponed until May, and inviting the attendance of the McKeen Cadets on that occasion.
Charles Frost andEd Cassady are to play a match at pin pool next Tuesday night, at Confare and Cassady's saloon, for $100 a side. The one getting the first fifty-one of one hundred games will be decided the winner. The referee will be from Indianapolis.
John Webb absorbed too much bad whisky last night, and got an enlarged idea of his importance as a result. When arrested by Officer Buckingham he said he was worth $250,000, and afterward raised the figures to a million. When examined at the jail he invoiced a paltry fifteen cents.
Dr. Waters telephoned to the Express last night, of an individual who is selling a piano polish in this city, and who he thinks is a fraud. He visited the doctor's residence, and wanted to touch up the piano, but was not allowed to do so. He then went to Mr. Gulick's and represented that he had sold some of the polish to Dr. Waters, and in that way tried to induce them to buy of him.
The fire committee is looking around for suitable horses for the department, the purchase of which was authorized by tne council Tuesday night. Three horses were examined yesterday, one from Lockport and two from Vermillion, Ills. The former animal passed muster, but the owner wanted $250 for it, which was considered too high. The Vermillion horses did not come up to the standard of the department, and were refused.
A number of drunken tramps got into a fight at the lower rolling mill last night, and the policemen telephoned for the patrol wagon to take them to the jail. They resisted and quite a lively fight ensued. It required the united efforts of Officers Miller, Cain, Howard and Deputy Marshal Mohan to down them, but this was finally done, and they were landed in jail, along with five boy tramps, who were their companions.
Away from Home for Icc.
L. F. Perdue is shipping his ice harvesting machinery te Lake Maxinkuckee, and will leave for that locality to-morrow, where he will cut ice for his summer trade in this city. He has been unable to get ice of the proper quality from the river, and will erect houses at Maxinkuckee for the storage of his ice. When the northern extension of the Vandalia is completed, which will be early in June, he will have a direct line from the lake to this citv, renderihg his houses easy of access.' In case the riv^r should freeze over and furnish good ice, Mr. Perdue will also fill his house in this city.

WABASH PUDDLJSRS.
Fov^. More Resumed Work Yesterday, and Three Furnaces Will Be Added To-Day.
Vice President White, of Belleville, in tlie City—An Express Reporter Talks With Hiw»
James Evans, James McGinley, George Dunn and Peter Boland, puddlers at the Wabash iron works, resumed work yesterday morning, making a total of nine furnaces in operation. Thife morning the scrap fnrnace will begin work, with Thomas Bishop in charge. Bishop is one of the puddlers who began work day betore yesterday, and his furnace will be taken this morning b.y Charles-Young, his helper. In addition to this, two more furnaces will open up this morning, in charge of John Filer and William Snyder. The proprietors state that they have had numerous applications from competent workmen, and the entire number of furnaces, sixteen, will be in full operation Monday morning. "We're not ashamed of the step we've taken/' said one of the working puddlers, in conversation with an Express reporter yesterday, "nor afraid of the results. The men who went to work yesterday have wanted to do so for along time. We signed a contract to stand by the Cincinnati agreement, and would have done so, and have gone to work long ago, but for the oction of certain of the leaders, "who insisted that we should not work ior $5.50 a ton, when the puddlers were getting $6 at the lower mill. Counting the five months' strike of last summer, we've lost eight months' work on account of this matter, and we thought we'd been out long enough, especially when we would be keeping our agreement by going to work."
James Crawford, one of the proprietors, was asked whether an effort would be made to run "double turns" at the furnaces. "Well, hardly," he replied, "in the present state of the market. .We can turn out .enough work single turns to fill our orders. But we have had applications enough to run the sixteen furnaces at single turns, if we so wished."
The Other Side.
With a desire to present both sides of this somewhat intricate matter, the reporter hunted tip one of the puddlers who refuse to go to work at the $5.50 rate. He had v§ry little to say, except that the men who still are holding out are perfectly justified in their position. The Cincinnati scale adopted by the conference committee, he claimed, had been declared illegal, and the men could no longer be bound by it. He said that several of the men who had gone to work were notoriously incompetent, and would not be allowed about the mill under any other than the present ciicumstances. The District Vice President Arrives.
Wm. White, of Belleville, Illinois, vice president of the association for the Fifth district, arrived" in the city last evening, from Centralia, Ills., where he had been adjusting trouble among the puddlers. Learning of the puddler above referred to, of Mr. White's presence in»the city, a reporter visited him to learn his ideas of the outcome of the difficulty. When questioned, he stated that he could not prophecy as to the outcome. In company with a committee of the strikers he would visit Mr. Crawford this morning and see if an amicable settlement could be made.
Said the reporter: "The men who have gone to work claim to be fulfilling a contract they signed, and are in honor bound to carry out."
Mr. White—"When men do wrong, most anything will answer them for an excuse. The agreement they claim to be working under was made by a conference committee, wliichexceeded its authority and made an agreement in direct violation of the constitution and by-laws of the National iodge of the Association. The trustees of the National lodge declared it illegal,- and the men cannot be bound by it. The Wabash puddlers and those at the Laclede.mil' in St. Louis are the only ones in the district working for $5.50 a ton. The Laclede men signed a contract at that price last July, and it expires the last day of May, 1883, along with all other contracts. They were to a certain extent justified in their action, and their move has been legalized,* as they are not working by the Cincinnati contract, which fixes a certain price for all time to came. Every other mill in the district is paying the price demanded here, $6 a ton.' "Wiil the state of affairs at the Wabash mill have any effect on the other mills in the district?" asked the reporter. "It may, and it may not. I can not say as to that." "Well, several of the men who are at work at the Wabash are members of the Amalgamated Association, are they not?" was the next query. "There were, once," was the reply. "We very often get men into the association that we do not thoroughly knpw, andwhen wefind them out, they no longer belong. It takes just such steps as this to snow them up in their true light. These men can neveragain work in any mill in the United States with association men."
Mr. White explained that he could say nothing further on the subject, and asked that there be no misrepresentation of affairs, as was invariablydone by the St. Louis papers. He is an elderly gentleman, quiet and a ready talker. He is a nailer by occupation, and when not engaged in business like that in hand, works at his trade in the Belleville mills. He will meet the Messrs. Crawford this morning, and endeavor to bring a settlement of affairs. After visiting a number of friends at the lower mill, he will leave for home on the Vandalia afternoon train.
AMUSEMENTS.
Miss Nella Brown.
The lower floor of the Opera house, which just holds all the lecture patrons of the city, was well filled last night. The reception of the fair reader, who is deservedly! popular here, was cordial. The entertainment provided by Miss Brown combines as much amusement and ability as often is spread over a dramatic company. The selections recited were, agdalena, Harte's "Her Letter," Money Musk, Boot Black, Trial Scene "from Shylock, Crushed Esthete, Clock's Story and Spoopendyke's Bathing Suit. Magdalcnaor the Spanish Duel was a charming declamation that included a pretty touch of music where Miss Brown introduces a song, for which the music was written for her by the writer of "Douglas, Tender and True." It is a verv slight transition from the soft notes" of Nella Brown's speech to the music of a song. It was to be expected that the audience wished to hear again Money Musk, in which the reciter shows a fund of mirthful talent and power of quaint mimicry. In this and the preceding number the sweet rippling piano accompaniments by Mrs. Adams were an added charm. The

What tie 'Metropolitan Police Force Would Cost the City of Terra Haute.
itfe most generally talked of bifi before the legislature, hot even excepting the constitutional amendments, is the metropolitan police bill, to establish a metropolitan force in all cities in the state having a population of 25,000 and upwards. The object on the face of the scheme is to take the patronage of the police force out of politics, and establish a force selected lor merit and kept employed as long as efficient.
The bill provides for the appointment by the governor and the secretary of state, auditor and treasurer, of three commissioners who shall have control ot the force, make appointments and allow salaries. These commissioners shall not receive more than $400 per year. In place of the present chief, there will be a superintendent, who will be the controlling person, and the excutive officer of the board. His 'salary will not be less than $1,000, nor more than $1,800. Beneath him is a captain acting in place of our present lieutenant, whose salary will not be lesa than $700, or more than $1,000. If the force is large enough, there may be two captains. The sergeant will receive from $600 to $800, and there may be four of them. The commissioners may appoint as many patrolmen as they wish, the number not to exceed one for everv 730 inhabitants.
If the bilf should become a law, the cost of the force to the city would be gteatly in excess of that of the present force. Taking the last census as a basis for determining the number of patrolmen, the ratio of one to every 730 inhabitants would give us 36 officers at $730 per year. The following tables give the comparative costs of the forces under the different plans:..
METROPOLITAN PLAN.
Three commissioners $ 1,200 Superintendent 1,400 Captain 900 Two sergeants 1,400 Thlrty-slx patrolmen 26,280
.. 831,180
PRESENT PLAN.
Chief 850 Lieutenant 800 Thirty-two patrolmen 23,360
325,110
This leaves a difference of $6,000 in favor of the present system. It is a question whether the increased expense of $500 per month would bring us a more efficient force than the one at present

A GOOD CHANGE.
The Name of the Vigo Orphans' Home Is Changed to the Rose's Orphan Home.
At a meeting of the directors of the Vigo Orphans Home, held at W. R. McKeen office yesterday morning, it was decided to change the name to the Rose's Orphan's Home. The reason given for the change is, that only in this manner can be secured the perpetuity of the just credit of the noble founder of the institution. Mr. Rose was modest and preferred that none of the institutions founded by his bequests should bear his name, but the directors, now that he is dead, feel that this honor should be done him. John G. Williams was instructed to secure the necessary legislation to make the change. J. H. Williams was elected superintendent of the building, and as stated in the Express a few days ago, will shortly display the plans and specifications of the work for the benefit of those desiring to enter bids.

CHEAP CARRIAGES,
And the Success Tliey Are Attaining in Washington. Washington Post.
"Twenty-five cents to any part of the city, sir, provided it is not over one mile," was the reply to a reporter who asked some questions yesterday about rates of fare by the fast and cheap methods of conveyance recently introduced in this city.
Of course everybody has noted the new and to Americans somewhat novel vehicles recently put on the streets of Washington. First, arouple of months ago, came the "Herdic cabs," as they are called, put on by the Herdic company, and they drove rapidly, so to speak, into popular fafor. They seemed likely to bring about an era of cheap fares for conveyance in and about the city, but the good work thus begun wrs supplemented by the appearance during the holiday week—a Christmas gift to Washington—of another and yet more novel order of vehicle, genuine English "Hansom cabs." With two systems of cheap transportation in active operation, and oth in direct competition with the hacks which have heretofore controlled this sort of carrying trade, there seems a prospect that the time of high iates for private conveyance is likely soon to pass awa The new "Hansom cabs" were introduced here by the LTnion Transfer company, under the management of Mr. George I. Phillips, the division superintendant of the Baltimore & Potomac road. To him, then, the reporter turned for further information. "Yes," he said, "we have four of them here in Washington now and expect to have half a dozen more as soon as they are completed in the shops at Bridgeport. We have thirty of them running inPhiladelphia." "And are they a success?" 'Oh, yes. A "marked success. Why, we only introduced them in Philadelphia the middle of October, yet they have proven so popular that our thirty which we have there are busy constantly, and we shall want to increase the number soon." "And are they popular here "Yes, as far as they have been tried. We find a constant demand for them, and are hurrying to get more of them in use as soon as possible."
