GOIiDEN PRESENTS.

Chief Failg and IJeutenant Seeberger Beoeive Handsome New Year's Gifts. At roll call last night Chief of Police Fasig and Lieutenant Seeberger were both agreebly surprised. For several days the friends of Mr. Fasig to the number of seventy-five or one hundred have been quietly conferring, and resolved to present him with a beautiful and costly watch and cb^In. The police force, not to be, but-done, "chipped in" and purchased Liutenant Seeberger handsome gold badge. At rqj\ call Mr. E. V. Debs stepped, lorward, and in a neat speech, preented Mr. Fasig with the watch. Said Mir. Debs: "We greet you on tbe threshold of the New Year with unalloyed pleasure. In making our adieus. to the old year, and bidding welcome to the one about to dawn, we recogniee a fitting time to pay a merited 'tribute as a public official. Since last May you have held the important position of chief of police of this city. How Important that position 1b .in relation to law and order as well as public safety, we all know. We know that it requires a man of courage and fidelity, one who Knows his duty and does not hesitate or fear to discharge it. A man who stands always square-toed on the line of .duty. One who never yields to temptation. One who is strong as a lion, yet gentle as a dove. One who recognizes that the honest are the tenderest, that the gentlest are the daring. Curing your term of office you have given substantial proof of the fact that you are the right man for the right place. You have been true to every responsibility faithful in the discharge of evory duty, and loyal to every trust and thegood people of the Prairie City recognize in you their chosem chief—an official worthy of their highest recognition. For this reason they have met here this evening to meet and to greet you, and to crown you with the laurels of their appreciation. In the name of your many friends in this city, I have the honor to present you with this gold watch and chain, as' a testimonial to you as your worth as a citizen, your devotion as a friend, and, above all, your ability and integrity as a public official. Accept it, and know that it comes from your friends, from those you love, and from those who love you. Hay it add new luster to your fame, and in time to come may it serve as a precious souveinor to recall this happy occasion. May the New Year be a bright and prosperous one-to you. May every hour Dring you a benediction, and every momenta Joy."

Dr. Swafford, in a few chosen words, responded for Chief Fasig, and presented Mr. Seeberger with the badge, a beautiful gold ornament, on which is engraved: "To F. A. Seeberger, Lientenant of Police."

On the watch is engraved: "Presented to Daniel Fasig by his Friends, January 1st, 1884." Fasig is a competent officer, and his many friends will rejoice that a comparatively few of them have been thoughtful enough to give this testimony of their kindly feeling.

KNOCKING AND CUTTING,

William Hassey Attacked by His Broth-er-In-Lawa—He Carres Tbem. William Hassey is a weinie-wurst man. He goes about the streets halloaing "Weinie 1 Weinie!

Sun' day night they visited Hasse in a rough manner. They entered his honse, on north Fourth street, and greeted him by knocking him down with a dub. Hasse was cutting bread with along and «hgrg butcherknife at the time, and he raismHcom tbe floor and began to carve his relatives. And he carved them.

BROTHERHOODS.

The Grand Ball at Dowliag Hall Last Night the Success of the Season.

Union Hall—tinted Meeting at Indianapolis—The Hospital—

The Ballroad Ball.

"On with the dance, let joy be unconfined," are appropriate words to apply to the great gathering of fair women and brave men, who assembled at Dowling hall last night, to participate in the festivities afforded by the union ball of the order of ita^jepad Conductors and the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen When the boys who call for. "tickets," pull the throttles and rais^ stage foil the steam on the great railroad lines of the country, combine their forces and start out to have a good time, they know no such word as fail. They are men of intelligence and character, who, when on duty, are tbe representatives of great trusts and have confided. to their keeping and protection the lives of the traveling public. Their diligence, their trustworthiness, their courage are attested by the hundreds of thousands of people who are daily safely carried witn speed of thev ind over the great railways of the country, and while on duty they are men of steel hearts and iron nerve, yet when in the social circle they are as gentle as cooiug doves and as true hearted and gallant as the knights of old. Such they were last night as they- danced the old year out and the new year in, and right royally did they enter into the enjoyment of the occasion.

Eight hundred tickets had been sold and there were upwards of three hundred couples present, but notwithstanding the crtjfih everything passed off without an unpleasant episode. The music was furnished by ten pieces from -the Ringgold orchestra which opened -with a grand march at 9 p. m. followed with waltzes, quadrilles, Landers, and Virginia reels, finally closing the most pleasant ball of the. season with "Home, Sweet Home," at 4 o'clock this morning. Among those present from a distance the Express noticed Messrs. Neil Johnson, James Johnson, Robert Kennedy, George Bacon, Will Wood,_ George Cook, Noan Waltunas Hadden, Mrs. Saires, va "JOtfltBOttp. Miss Lizzie Price, Mrs. Geo.Cook, Mitm Pon Mrs. Mary Johnson of Brazil -Mr. Hosford and lady of Eugene C. Crow and wife, Wm. Hugo and wife, Miss. T. Cregor, B. E. Harrington, J. H. Tweedie, S. B.

The Brotherhoods' Hall.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, the Conductors' Brotherhood and the Engineers' Brotherhood^have completed their Union hall, at the corner of Main and Seventh streets. The hall presents a very fine appearance. It is claimed that there is not a finer hall in the state. The committees who have had charge of the repairs will turn it over to-day to the united lodges. The exercises will commence at 2 p.m. All the railway officials in the city have been invited to be present, and many of them will be there. A large number of conductors, engineers arid firemen will be present. Arrangements will be made for the grand opening, which will take place at an early date.

At Indianapolis.

To-morrow night grand old Eureka Lodge, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, of Indianapolis, will give a grand reception to all the lodges in the state. The meeting will be attended by Mr. John Hannahanrof Chicago, chairman of the grand executive committee of the B. of L. F. Grand Master Arnold, and Grand Secretary and Treasurer E. V. Debs, of this city. Governor Porter will also be present, as will Colonel Maynard, of the Indianapolis Sentinel. A grand banquet will be one of the features. The question of the hospital for disabled fireman will be discussed. No one need fear but that the claims of Terre Haute will be ably maintained

Bearing Greetings.

Yesterday Mr. John Hannahan, chairman of the grand executive committee of theB. of L. F., was in the city from Chicago, bearing New Year's greetings of the 1,600 members of the Brotherhood in Chicago to Grand Secretary and Treasurer E. V. Debs. The Chicago lodges recognize in Mr. Debs the man who has lifted their lodge out of the rut and put itron its feet. As a token of their regard they send him greetings.

AMUSEMENTS. ..

Jas. P. Voorhees' Beading. An audience respectable in numbers and eminently so in quality received Mr. Voorhees in his meritorious entertainment of last night. Mr. Voorhees is much at his ease on the stage and at home with his audience. His recitations were interspersed with informal remarks to his auditors, often quite jocose and always pleasant. The result of Mr. Voorhee's intelligent and artistic interpretations was to secure •the respect of his friendly Audience as fully as he had gained its applause. The recitation of "Shamus O'Brien" was so well done as to create enthusiasm, and was followed by a pleasantly, realistic rendering of the "Ideal of the Road." Mr. Voorhees, in introducing the Raven, jocularly remarked that there was 4 vein of madness shown in it and that he was credited with showing it well, but he asked the audience to credit any apparent insanity to the author and not to the reader. The reading, or really the interpretation of Poe'sRaven was admirable and brought out the lights and deep shadows of the weird poem with fine effect

We owe much to any dramatic reader who reads tons favorite jtwms, as well as this and the "Aux Italians' were, and doubtless many have anew and clearer conception of the Raven since last night. It may be that the accompanying action was not necessary to heighten the effect, but it was appropriate enough.

A few remarks on the mission-of the stage, included a sharp criticism on the present dramatic profession and its methods, which Mr. Voorhees pronounced an aggregate of clap-trap, which remark by the way contains a large morsel of trath. "With Grant— Before the War," was a well given, cute little piece of humor. The selection, "Prince Hal and Falstaff," was sn excellent study and presented very enjoyably the rich humor of the unctoofuh lying koigbt, »nd brought

many a laugh as the points appeared.) This, as well as others, show m«ch study and dramatic insight. The study of Hamlet'B soliloquy is not so sooa. The Ekpress believes that. Mr. Voorhees* first performance of Hamlet, years ago, was excellent, and remembers it well enough td say that he gave this soliquy better on that occasion now, it is too declamatory— not the subdued monotone of one talking to himself, hut an Address to an audience The "Rfd Rose" was another pleasant and original conception of a nnb story told in verses. "Anx Italians," that charming bit of Owen Meredith's was giveii well enough to enhance the romantic theme. Mr. Voorhees reads ^well enough to dis pense with stage effects and yet this dramatic style might be pushed to advantage to a greater extent, when we recall the popbl&r business of the English actor, Foote, in his "At Homos" or the pnrior theatricals of Mr. and Mrs. Florence, in which one 'two bright people were equal to a stage foil. The general Verdict was very favorable, judged by the close interest and quick response.

SUNDAY'S SERVICES.

The Bev. W. D. Thomas, of Im Crosse, at the Central Presbyterian ChurchOther Services.

Rev. W. D. Thomas, of La Crosse, Wis, preached at the Central Presbyterian churcli Sunday morning and evening. He was greeted by a large congregation, his sermonB were most excellent and produced a favorable impression. The text for the morning sermon was from I. Kings, 21 chapter, 42 verse: ''Thus saith the Lord, because thou hast let go a man out of thy hands to utter destruction, whom I had appointed, therefore thy life shall be for his lite and thy people for his people."

THE TELEPHONES.

A Card From the Manager—The Oatlook. To the Editor of the Express.

Sib: There are some, who, by misconstruing the facts as published from day today, have obtained a wrong Idea regardlng the attitude of the telephone company towards the public. The company is not, nor has it been, in a defiant or belllgerant attitude. There has been neither occasion for, nor desire, nor attempt to "bluff" anybody. It has no need for blufllng. The telephone company Is furnishingto the citizens of Terre Haute something which is worth on an average at least twice the amount paid for it. It would be glad to do It for even less if it were practical, but the gentlemen who direct the affairs of the corporation have carefully considered the question and decided it would not be wise business policy to do so. Three hours conversation with the able representatives of the business men of tbis city left them unchanged in that opinion, They are sorry they can not serve the public profitably at lower rates, and exceedingly sorry there are so many business men in this city whose business will not Justify the expense of a telephone at the rates they feel It necessary to charge. Nevertheless, they can not perform the service any cheaper, though every subscriber should discontinue. This is not a threat. It is simply a plain statement of the position of tne directors of the company.

They do not propose to compel anyone to keep the telephone, except those whose contracts have not yet expired. The bal ance which have been ordered out will have to be taken out. We can not do otherwise. There is no bluff about that.

There is no desire on the part of the proprietors of this exchange to deprive this city of telephone service. They are here for that purpose, and can do It as cheaply and effectually as any one else. As a matter of dollars and cents, however, It would pay the company better to close up this exchange than to reduce the rates. That has been decided after deliberate calculation.

It Is the desire of the company to conduct Its business upon fair and businesslike principles, and it naturally expects equally fair treatment from its customers and the pUblic generally.

We endeavor to give each subscriber the worth of his money.

We are ready and anxious at all times to make our service the very best, and invite the co-operation of our subscribers, who, we trust, appreciate Its value to them, and our eflbrts to make It more valuable. E. M. Goodwin,Manager.

It was understood last night that qnite all who had signed the paper to take out the telephones to-day would live up to the agreement.

OFFICER K1NERK.

He Gets After a Man With a Mask. A few evenings ago Mr. Geo. Hammerstein, of north Fourth street, in company with Mr. P. HigginB, was on his way about 7:30 o'clock to a masquerade. Mr. Hammerstein had on his mask, while Mr. Higgins had on his costnme except the mask. They were stopped by Officer Kinerk, who caustht hold of Mr. Hammerstein Tiiev attempted to explain to him that they were on Way to auiasquerade, but Kinei he knew better, as there was no querade party, and insisted that Mr. Hammerstein hould go with him to the I. A St. L. depot. The affair was finally settled at Conway's saloon, and Kinerk went on his way. Kinerk has been the object of much fun on north Fourth street ever since.
