At ilie Wednesday night fire in thi rear of Fred SefKurget's butciier shop when Kaufman & Kramer's liquor Btor. was thought to be in danger, Maj. Cliv»-i shouted to the firemen, in stentomi tones: "For the love of mercv s--v-that whisky with the fire-crackers in it." The hoye have since been trying to afctri in so unt'.in^ about the new brand.

The fire departmeut poet has concocte the following: 8-nd the news along the wire,

Wanted—Little Peter.

Rpcent experience has suggested that very good tiling for the electric ligh' company to do uM be to place a pom at their works and in case of fire, be read} at once to e-it out the circuit ia the dittrict in which the fire was located. Thi a company are extending their wires, "*n ai.d iucandescent, throughout the ciiy. und it is an unquestioned fact that the presence of broken or unbroken wires may bring cerious injury, if not death, to firemen -nd others.

Off 11 filthy, unhealthy, pestilential locations for a tirt-housi, Jockey Alley is the most outrageous, and the Fours' house thus ljcal-d is a disgrace to the cit?, and not a very favorable evidence of the good bense of fire committet of the council that made ovei the old fish-elwaning, rotten, tumbledown Liuiliing into quarters, where human beings, in order to earn their bread and butter, and serve the city are compelled to remain "twenty-four hours during the day."

Yesterday afternoon Chief Schell and Hosenian Ling were busy putting in the improved svstem of clustering the cups in the battery room at headquarters. Heretofore t!ie cups have been arranged on pyramidal shelves, filling aluios-t the entire length and breadth of the room. In future they will be placed on two i-eiies of shelves, separated on the floor by about three feet, and held in place by arches over the »op. Each sheif is concaved and a groove .running down the center will carry ofi the contents of cupi which may buret. The new arrangement is a decided improvement.

Main street property is well protected, so far as facilities for calling out the department are concerned. Following are boxes which may be speedily puileo for Main street fires: No. 64, corner of Fir.-t and Onio 16, at the Fours' Reel house on the alley between Main and Cherry, Third and Fourth 21, Fifth and Cherry 2, Opera House 23, Sixth be t,»vpen Main and Ohio 65, cornrr of Seventh and Main 25, HeadquartersFire department, Nin.h between Main and Ohio 71, Main street crossing E.

Said a well-known merchant yesterday "I have watched the progresnnade by the present tire department since the existing non-partisan ordinance went into effect with no little inteiest. 1 beliove thut the ordinance is ju^t wh:r w:is necesusry in order to 8 cure to Tern Haute a perfect system of protection to life nnd property against the ravages by lire, but while this ia the case, and while 1 must admit that the present organization is one that h^ through practical experience proven itself equal to every emergency that hag heretofore arisen, sod that they hive given practical evidence of their ability to do their duty bravely and well. I believe if the pres(nt ordinance is to remain in effect sod the prestnt members of the department are to continue in service, if becomes a matter, which should be one of general interest, as to what, if any, means should be pro vided to render the lives of these imprisoned men (for I am told they are con fined to their* houses closely, under tin regulations) as pleasant as possible anc the men themselves contented witl their lot and willing and always ready to give strict and implicit obedience to the regu 1st ions which govern them and to th orders of their superior officer-. 1 believe that when fiieruen who are not essentially different from other inea, arc sitting srouud their houees, idle, unocupiedand wanting something to 'kill time,' they are more apt to become inditTer. ut of surroundings than though they had some means of occupying at least a portion of their idle hours. Now it strikes me, that those people in Terre Haute who feel an interest in our present splendidly orgarized department should be willing to ccrue forward and do something to improve the moral and—yes, intellectual, condition of our fire-boys. I bt-litv-e that a good firemen's library could be started by contributions of good b-oks from private citizens that Wi.uH ultimately grow into an engine oi much practical benefit to the firemen. I take it, the firemen are men, who as a class, are anxious to improve their tio.t ard their meti^l corntitinn ikewis°. am! as it is necessary that that they should remain close'v confined to their quarters, I believe that this establishing of a firemau's library, located perhaps at headquarters, might do much go-d: if not at present, at least in the near future."

EMPEROR WILLIAM.

GrowlugOld and Cannot Keep Awake— Tbe Empress. Globo-Demoorat.

The latent form that the emperor of srmany's debility has taken is a tendency to fall asleep. This he does con stantly, aud the rousing of him sometimes keeps an attendant pretty well employed. The process of keeping him .wake causes his majesty great irrita lion, The other day the aged monarch cullcipsed suddenly as he was crossing his tiamber ai:d it was some time before he i-ouid be restored. Indeed he had to*be ikon to pieces, as it were, and his limbs vere subjected to a lengthy rubbing to timulate the enfeebled muscles. The ICmpress Augusta will soon be back st her favorite residence at Cobientz Her majesty always makes a point returning there from Baden Baden, in rder that she may pay her annual Visit 0 the cemetery on the morning of All Saints' day, when everybody tries to outvie everybody else in decorating the graves of the departed. Since her accident the empress usually drives about in 1 low sort of brougham with a long body, so that she cm lie almost at full length in it. It formerly was used by the late King Frederick William, but has since been fitted with India rubber at the springs, and the tires of the wheels re covered with tt,e same material, so that one hears only the regular stepping of the pair of horses as the carriage rolls along. The empress often takes carriage -xercise- thr«.e times a» day, and nearly every afternoon chooses the fine military road towards Mayence in the direction of Stoiienfels. Hers is a simple turnout, with only coachman and^footman on the box, no outriders. The people are so accustomed sfe her that they simply stand for a .ioment and take ofi their hat as tbe quie eq.apage passes by. Her majesty liues at 5 and may be seen in the summer evenings rattling along the roads by 30, for the dinner is very quickly disposed of, yet there is time for few words with each of the invited guests in he drawing ioom, both before and after msals These quiet dinner?, at which there is a constant daily change of neighboring country nobility and gentry, and officers of the girrison, make the empress queen very popular. She has a good memory and much tact, and shows a pie.-ising interest in the affairs of each visitor.

THE RAILROADS

Csictilogs Here and Thora ol Interesting It emu. Mr. R. A. Ctmpbtll returned from Evensville yesterday.

General Freight Agent Hibbard, of the Vacdalia, is in the city. It is said Mr. George Campbell will probably move to Legansport.

Mr. G. V. Lucns, of G. H. PrescattV '•ffice, will spend to-day w'.th friends Effingham.

Lake navigation is aboat closed, and a corresponding increase in the east bound trunk line business is noted.

Will Bavie, a brmkeman in the Van yards at East St. Louis, while making a coupling Friday night received a blow that caused a fracture ®f his cell»r bone.

The railroad mail service handled 5,329,F 21,475 pieces of mail matter during the last fiscal year, in distributing which 1,260,443 errors were made, being one error to every 4,228 pieces handled.

There is a prevailing opinion that the legislature of Indiana will this year provide for the appointment of a board of rail-way commissioners, the principal object of which shsll be to prevent unjust discrimination in freight rates.

An exchange says: Those who know :he merits of the- Chicago A Eastern Illinois express the opinion that it is time for President Stevens to call a halt on his stock, as when it gets above par it is not a healthy boom. Par seems about right for the stock of this road, or, in fact, that of a majority of the roads of Illinois or Indiana.

To-morrow a new time card for the Logsn will go into effect. The changt will not effect Terre Haute time, so far as trains coming aud going are concerned, with the sjnele exception of No. 53, which will be due here ten minutes later than heretofore. Noe. 51 and 54 will make their terminus at Logansport, while Nos. 52 and 54 will run between Terre Haute and South Ben '. "Unquestionably the supply of Anthracite coal in the western cities," says the Indianapolis Journal, is unusually rnsall, and should dealers have an average winter trade they will be compelled to bring large quantities of coal west by rail. From the present outlook coal dealers and manufacturers at Chicago and inter ior points will be less concerned about the prices of eoal before the winter is half over than abon their ability to obtain supplies.

Commissioner Daniels yesterday issued the followingcircular: "Toall members of the Central Traffic associatio-, passenger department: A meeting of this department is hereby called at the associ ation rooms, Chicago, for Tuesday Nov. 16, 1886, at 10 o'clock a. m." Headfk: "It is of the mott importance that eaolt line member of the association be represented, as matters pertaining to tbe traffic in every part of the territory of the as snciation will come up for consideration and a full and unqualified vote o± all members is desired."

The Mate Mechanic says: "A h-sty inquiry, made without anv Intention of being accurately statistical, shows that from September 1 to October 20 contracts embracing over 16,000 cars were placed with fifteen ear wo~ks. These orders were almost entirely for western roadc. The Pennsylvania system is reperted to be turning out teu cars per day at Fort Wayue and the same number at Altoona Altogether it is safe to say that fully 20,000 cars *have been contracted for during the past two months. Everything indicates that the consumption of railway supplies during the next year will be unpre edented."

Indianapolis Journal: There has never been a time when the roads of Indiana, Ohio and Illinois have been so pi to furnish cars to move the coal from mines in these states as this year. The failure of the roads which bring the an thra'cite coal west to furnish cars to move the product has greatly increased the demand ft coal mined in the states above mentioned, and the tonnage handled is limited, seemingly, -inly by cars that can be commanded. Shipments of block coal from the Clay county mines is now heavier than ever before, notwithstanding the opening of BO many new mines in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois within the last three or four years.

Early Expre°s Bnslners.

A contributor to the Express Gasette has this to say regarding the origin of the express business in this country:

As earl as 1840, and prob«bl somewhat earlier, the banks of Albany, N. Y., and other Eastern cities, found it necessary to employ messer gers to carry oarrenoy from the East to the West for the parct.ase of produce, as well HS for the exchange of ourrency East and West. At that time Western money was at a heary discount is the Eastern cities, and it was necessary to watch the "Bank Kote Detector" very oloeelv.

These messengers generally traveled by packet boat on tti9 Erie canal, and sometimes by s'age coaeh. I remember traveling with one of these messecgers un a packet. His val nablee were in what wonld now he called a trunk of small size, bound with iron hoop*. He had it carried into the cabin, and when be took his booth the porter.placed the track by his side. The messenger produced a pistol and placed it within his reach, and then ye' soun went to sleep (he seemed very ranch fatigaed). It required abont a week to go from tlbany to Baffalo, and, of oenrse, he had traveled night and day.

This, as I understand it, was the bezinaiag of the express business in this oeantry. At this time stage drivers and others carried small paroels for a consideration.

Jay Gould's Southern Maneuvers. NEW YORK, November 13.—A Chattanooga, Tenn., special to the Herald says: Railroad circles throughout this section are very much aroused over the significant maneuvers that are clearly discernible in the Southern field. Gossip's tongue began 'o wag first when Jay Gould visited Memphis, and a day or two afterward bought $80,000 of land in that city for a depot for his Western connections. A day after the purchase the stockholders of the Memphis A Charleston railroad met at Hunts*ille, Ala., aud elected new directors, adding to the list H. 9. Chamberlin, Chatnuooga capitalist and"re-affirmed a resolution authorizing tbe dire tors to extend the line from Stevenson, Ala., to Chattanooga thirty-eight miles. At Chattanooga it connects with all the trains of the E ist Tennessee, Virginia A Georgia system. It is now pretty generally believed that Mr. Gould is seeking an alliance with the East Tennessee system and is thought that the terms have already been made. The latter in a few days will put on a lightning train from New York which will make the run to Memphis in five hours less than befoie. The Baltimore A Ohio has added its interest by unex pectedly scooping the express franchise of the Queen & Crescent system on al! its branches from New Orleans to Cinciiiniti, »nd already it isannonnced that the Southern Express and the Bsltimore

Ohio will begin a war of rates on New York express matter. The Baltimore A Ohio will take charge December 1. To add tothecomplicatien.it- is re ported that the Louisville 4 Xaehvi.le system will begin a war on the Qaeen & drescent and start the ball by running a through train from Cinciunati via Louisville and Nashville to Chatanooga, and will carry on the war on all its branches and connections.

porary, the Poughkeepoie News-Pres*, notes another defect in the promiscuous herding to which the occupant! of the ordinary sleeping car have to submit, and asfcs whether something ean not be done to insure mora comfort and privacy, especially for ladies when making extended joorneys. Of cocrea one can not reasonably expect to find in a railroad train all th* eolive* ie nee or the commodioosness of hotel o. private residence. Space is too valuable to permit of that. Nevertheless American ingenuity and inventive ress on^ht to be able to improve Tery much upon the existing two-tier berth system which is prolific of annoyance and mortification. It is manifestly trying and unpleasant for ladies to lie corralled up in cramped quarters where they ean not drees or undress without being exposed to the gaze of strangers. No lady can travel frequently in the sleeping car of to-day without having her sense of delicacy shocked and ultimately dulled by the rude scrutiny to which she is subjected cr the strategems she mnst resort to while clambering into the cartained bunk.

Why not increase the number of inclosed compartments, or provide special cars for ladies, or at least set apart or partition off a portion of each car for their exclusive use? The additional expense would be cheerfully met by the traveling public. Men accompanied by their v/ives and children would engage the staterooms, while single or unattended ladies weuld be glad ta secure accommodations where none but members of their own sex would be permitted to enter after a specific hour. An improvement of this sort can be introduced without impeding free ingress or egress through a passage at one side of the car, and the space thus sacrificed would not be a fatal objection in a railway car any more than aboard an ocean steamer where every cubic foot is utilised. Is not the experiment Well worth trying?

"MARRIED MAN'S INDICATOR

I Marvelous IUT- ntton for Domestic Use—How to Find th** Keyhole. The latest genius who has applied for a patent, says the Washington correspondent of the St. Paul Dispatch, is the men that has invented what is known as "The Married Man's Indicator." It is a wonderful, sensitive arrangement of the ordinary thermometer in convenient pocket size, and is graded to a scale of cabalistic marks, which show the exact state ef the domestic atmosphere at any hour of the night. The hard-worked and belated husband arrives home say about midnight. He takes out the indicator, thrusts it in the keyhole, and lets it remain thete a fe^ seconds. Pulling it out quiekly he scans the dial by the moonlight's fitful gleaming. If it marks "8. A.'' (sound asleep) the poor husband pulls off his boots noiselessly, uses the night-key with bated breath, gives the door a quick poll to keep it from ere .king, steals trembling to bed, and when his dear wifey wakes up about two seconds afterward and wants to know how long he has been home he is sound asleep. If the indicator scores "A, A B., B. 6 K. W. T." (awake, awful cross, but does not know what time it is), the husband puts a few more grains of cofi»e in his month, opens the door boldly and walks in with a slambangair, hits his boots intentionally against a chair, wants to know why the devil chairs dont keep Out of the way, gets desperately mad on general princi pies scares his wife clean out of her •ret-sness and curtain lectures, refuses to let her get up and strike a match—never did like alight at ni^ht nohow—remarks gruffly in response to a timid query that "it's about twenty minutes after ten," und then turns into bed with such an apparent awful state of mind that the wife of his bosum is afra to speak te him, at which he is very sad, of course,

There are other marks on the indicator showing just where it will do to piny the "lodge dodge," or tbe "sick friend," or "been standing on the corner talking to so-and-so for Loore than an hour," or "general or honorable this or that from you know where was in town aud ad to go away on tbe 2 o'clock train. ^n.d he insisted so strongly that the stayed up to see him off, al."^^h ht was a great bore, and we only did it through courtesy." But the most awful of ail the cabalistic signs on the dial is the one at the top, about two marks above the boiling point.

When tbe wt ary husband comes home about 4 a. m. from the direction of the butcher shop, with a roll of meat held high in the air so that every one who passes cannot f*il to see it, and sticks the indicator in the key hole, he is almost too weak to draw it out. With hair on ends he reac sit by the faint light streaming in upon him from over the eastern hills, and sweat breaks out upon his noble brow in drops as large as walnuts as he sees the bulb of the indicator jammed smack up against "R. H. S. W. F. Y. I. T. D." (red-hot, still waiting for you inside the door). The inventor of the instrument says that when a man has this terrible misfortune to overtake him, he feels that there is nothing left in life worth living for.

He Blings the meat out into the yard and braces himself for the coming fray, but says nothing, for nothing can be sr- id. Be he ever so gifted liar, his accomplishment is more than valueless. No lodge, no sick friend, no talking on the corner, no sitting up to see the general off, no swearing that be will never do it again—in fact, nothing will prevail. It is an indefensible case.

He is caught. Even the ghastly gaye ty with which two hours previous be had said to the boys he guessed he would see it out, "might as well be killed for a sheep as a lamb," had all vanished. The indicator having told him the- exact state of things, he kn ws exactly what to do, and that is nothing but get in bed at once and wrap the drapery of his couch about him, bull the pillow over his ears, and wait for his wife's breath to give out. It's awful nhili it lasts, but it has its uses in relieving the unfortunate husband of his great load of anxiety. The indicator is a great invention. Colonel Montgomery will allow it to go through if possible.

Glycerine in a New Servlco. Surgeon Major Cotter, in the columns of.the Indian Medical Gasette, furnishes an interesting account of a patient suffering from enteric fc.ver, and who was awakened every ten minutes by the dryness of his tongue, which was parched and covered with sores. In the treatment of this case the tongue was painted with glycerine frequently, the result of this spp ication being that at the first rial the patient slept almost comfort ably, waking up about every two hours with the tongue feeling dry, but not really dry to the touch after renewed applications of the glycerine he at once slept again. It also appears that this treatment was resorted to in a number of other cases with similar satisfactory results.

One face yet alone was wanting—her'* whose art has opened wide With themniric key ef gaoins many a social door which pride Wonld have vainly oloeed against her bat the voice of envy fell When her champions spoke her praises, and the people loved her well.

What though conrtly power placed her with the namee that graced the list Of the ball's great patronsssoa—in the gossip o'er their whist, Stately dowagers had plotted how to pnt an ac trees down, Shame in her the stage's sceptre and its gandy tinsel crown.

JINNIE.

m-. m.

Atlanta fanRtitntion,"' When Captain La Rue, of Sherman's army, dashed into Xlankville at the head of a party of raiders, one fine summer morning, his first impulse was to

Fear and his second was to laugh. Being a versatile young fellow of infinite resources he did both. The tired troopers saw at a glance that there was nothing in this little North Georgia mountain village. Of the forty or fifty houses straggling around the public square, not more than a dozen were occupied. The majority of the inhabtants had fled to the mountains. "Yon, Jinnie! You Jinnie!" shouted an old woman who had her head poked out of her cabiu windo -v.

Ca\ La Rue languidly tnrred his head, nnd then a look of keen interest fished from his bold black eyes. ''Jinnie is woilh looking ai,'' »aiu liie youug officer, after a critical survey of the slight figure swinging on the gate.

Jinnie had never Been any federal cavalrymen before, and in her anxiety to secure a good view, she unconsciously perched herself upon the gate in a position -vhich showed her off to the bert advantage. "Look at that pretty cracker girl," said a big fellow as he rattled his saber to attract Jinnie's attention.

The girl was evidently not more than sixteen. Divinely tall and divinely fair, her lissome figure revealed every line and curve of its graceful contour through the soft, clinging drapery in which she was attired, aud which seemed to be a part of her. Under her rustic hat was a perfect face. Her complexion was dazzling, and contrasted well with the scarlet thread running through her lips, and with her shy eyes of bluish gray. Her hair was a glory in itself. It rolled down h*r shoulders like a flood of molten gold. "Such a girl," mattered Captain La Rue, "has no business here. If I am not very much mistaken there is trouble in store for her."

The raiders searched the bouse and stole everything worth carrying oS. They burned the unoccupied dwellings and spent the day in making the villagers miserable. The captain did'not find the time hanging veiy heavily on his hands. He made bis htadquarters at the hoase occupied by Jinnie and her mothei, and his appearance was so warlike that the old woman busied herself in kitchen, leaving her daughter to keep the self-in-vited guest under surveillance. It was long after midnight before tbe trooper rode out ef tow£ on their way back to the main body of the army. How it came about was never fully explained, but the captain's spirited chaiger carried a double burden, and one of tbe rideis looked wondrou&ly like Jinnie 1

Among the Americans wtio did valiant service in Maximilian's army, after onr war was over, was Captain La Rae. Tbe captain had a wife who was the toast of all Mexico, from the capital city to the Rio Grande. In the American colony there were strange rumors abont this beautiful woman. It was said that she looked like an angel and acted like she devil. There were queer stories, too, about her early life. It was whispered that La Rue picked her up with a l*/t of other plunder in a mountain town in Georgia, just for a lark, but it tnrned out a serious business. It seems that the girl tooR it into her head to fall in love with him. and she made life a burden to him until he married her aod took her to Mexico.

La Rue was killed along with Prince Salm Salm, and when the prince's widow sailed for Europe Mrs. La Rue went with ber. Almost anything can be done with a girl, provided she is caught yonng. A year more in that bleak and povertystricken mountain hamlet would have

toned Jinnie Into atoamoaplaoe young wom«n. As it was she was throwb into a strange circdU iast at th* timo when she was foreriluly eager to imitate thoa* above her in the social se\le. She stripped ofi tbe provincial bus* that enveloped her. She studied men, women, costumes, manners, newspapers, theater*, everything that could throw light upon thereat mystery called society. For sach a woman to learn W talk well in French and Spanish, as well as in her own tongue, was a small matter. With her beauty and the subtle witchery of her magnetism, what wonder is it that Eugenie La Bus was soon anathematised by all the prudes in Paris 1

It was some time in 1870 that a certain el aim became the talk ef hotel circles in Washington. The claimant, a charming woman, swore that she was a Unionist, nd that Sherman's raiders had destroyed something over a hundred thousand dollars' worth of her property in North Georgia. She was backed up oy a few decayed federal veterans, who advocated her cause.

She had quite an array of receipts and affidavits, but the case looked doubtful from the first. Finally there was a startling expose. It was shown that she was

almost a pauper, had never lost any property, and had eloped from her native town during the war with a cavalry officer named La Ru«.

The adventures? left Washington after this exposure, but in a few years *he was back there again in the role of a lobbyist. Her costumes were gorgeous, her tquipsge resplendent and her little wine suppers were voted delightfully dangerous. In the long run, however, the lobbying business failed. Men were afraid to have dealings with the La Rue woman, and she disappeared.

Such a career always tends downward. A fe» years ago Mrs. La Rue married a rich old man. He died in a short time, and she lost his fortune in Wall street. Then the greedy grasping adventuress struck out blindly in every direction She was wanted in one city for swind ling and in another for blackmailing. Society everywhere leagued itself against ber.

A few days ago a Philadelphia conrt threw out a suit brought by this woman against a weak old man who had placed himself in her power. There was found forgery and perjury in the case, and it collapsed before it got fairly under way As tbe plaintiff rushed from the court room in a fit of impotent rage, bystander caught a Georgian's arm and said: "That woman was Eugenie La Hue. She married old you know."

The Georgian was thunderstruck Could that fio^sy, wrinkled old hag, with gray hair and red eyes, be th* charmer who had once been the talk of two continents?

That was her last public appearance. She will next be heard of when she registers at as asylum or a prison, or ia fished out ef the river and chrried to the morgue.
