THE GRAVE ND GAY.

Pathetic and Ludicrous Inci cidents Before a 'Squire's Court.

Few Leaves Torn From ft Jus tiOfs Boutin* of Deily Labors

An Express reDorler, on bis customary search for news, dropped into the office of a justice of the peace yesterday tb 'tqnire?" was

"What do vo know, stereotyped inquiry. "What, do I know? Well, more than 1 could tell you in JW conversation." "So?"—an,i ut came the old notebook and pencil. ''Well, I'm ready," was th( next announcement from the pencii pusher. "Indeed! Theu write as I give it tyou. Let me spread before you—we will suppose—a panorama of the daily occurrences that come up fc.r considera tion in a justice's office. I will give yon a programme of my work to day: First in the list conaes a woman who complain of her husband's violation it every law that regulates good society. She says be Rives her constant reason to believe thai be is unfaithful to hie marriage vows that he has literally made her home a barren waste, desolate and unfruitlul of happiness and peace. It is hard for mo to believe that he has not illuminated her story largely from the rich coloring of her imagination and I therefore advise her to return home, do her duty by her husband faithfully and well and endeavor to win him back, through peaceful ways to the paths of honor and rectitude. £he sighs and turns away with a faintly expressed rrc ~"'se. I may know that what she charges against her recreant husband is true to the letter, bnt I believe it better to keep domestic infelicities,when possi out of the courts and especially out of the papers.

My next visitor is also a woman. She throws my door wide open with a cr? strides up 11 my desk with masculine power and a good dtal of venom, throws an old gingham umbrella down on my desk. overturns an ink ttle and strikes an attitude. "See heere! Air'e y'u a lawyer, a 'squire, or a wha'.-is-it? That's phat I wud loike to know. I've live'd in this cit-tee nigh onto twenty year an not a divil of a bit of trouble have I hed but this wan time. I'll tell 'oo yu Ree me ua-bor, Missis has a d—n bad bay. Yesterday he meets me own little Teddy, while the lad wos comin' peaceful loike, from school, and then he tells rse boy thnt his mother waz a nagar Wid that, my boy—not to be outdone by iich a derty spaljieer1, hits the other bye in the noze and knocks 'im down to tbeflpt of his hack. Wid that, the dirty iiftie divil gets on the two feet of him and tunsoS quick loike wid my bye, Teddy throwin' rocks at 'im aud standin' up beautiful in defense of faia rights. Sure, whin, I was lowled of the sarknnstances. I goes to my back fence and over the top of that same, I towled my nsbor Missis—what 1 thought st hur. She hurled a hole kittel fall av hot watber over on my hed, (-or, and gave me a severe ht.rn, which yu can see. sor I want her arrested, por.' saw that th» woman was laboring under the excitement that comes from an excessive nse of alcoholic stimulants, and I gave her a quiet hint that her room was better than lier co pany. She took the hint and withdr w, muttering.

Then came a gentleman that had a good, clean countenance, but appeared considerably abashed. He was accompanied by two ladies. He whispered a few words, gave mc a license, and in the close recesses of a back room, I soon made the gentleman and one of the Isdies rnsn and wife. He gave me $165 and withdrew, thanking me 'kindly' tor maintaining strict privsr.v, and enjoined me to 'be sure and keep it out the papers.'

Another case was that of a poor, emaciated little woir.an, wearing a faded calico drear. and covered with a torn shawl, wl.o said her husband, 'who was a good man when he was not drinking,' had knocked her down »nd beaten her with a chair leg. Siie wanted me to have him brought 'into court' and made to take a pledge to abstain from driliking liquor. Slu refused to nwear out a warrant for his arrest, .snd 1 dismissed her. I love to fine a wife-beater, r.nd whenever ihat cl:: -:. of brutes are brought into my cour\ tlu-y fret the full pxient of the law's punishment.

Then came a poor mar. who earn6 only SI.25 a day, who owed two mooth.'s rent, had his wife and one child sick, nigh unto death, and who was about to be thrown out on the street. He had $5 which he wanted mo to take and try and induce his landlord to receive in part payment of the mtstanding account until lie could save enough to square the bill. I knew bis landlord and oflered to act as iutimediator.

Now, these are but a few of the light? and shadows that pass across my official life every day. There is much that is ludicrous, hut rr uch more that is sad and hsrrowii,

OBITUARY

MrF.

Jtonlt Routzahn

Lutheran Evaofeliet (Springfield, O.) Died, on the night of the 11th inst. near

TUSCOD,

Ariz., Mrs. Jennie Routz

ahn, wife of Mr. Willis H. Boutzahn! formerly of this city, bnt recently a resi cation seems to have

dent in Terre Haute, aged 25 years, 6 months and 22 days. Mrs. Routz^hD, whose maiden^name waa Miss Jennie McBride, and whose father was the Rev. J. C. McBride, an honored and nsefnl minister in the United Brethren Chnrch, was known by many in our community, and was loved by all who knew her. At the ministry of the Rev. Dr. M. W. Hamma she professed faith in Christ as her Savior, and connected herself with the First Lutheran Church of this city, of which she remained faithful member as long as she was resident here. In the year 1883 she was married to Mr. Willis H. Routzahn, and soon afterward, with her husband, removed to Terre Haute, where, not finding an English Lutheran Church, to gether they became members of the Congreeational Church, in whose fellowship ehe continued to the close of her life.

Her death occurred under circurn stances which, in tome respects, were peculiarly sad. Encouraged by her physician to hope that a visit to Southern California might possibly break the hold of that fell disease, consumption, from which she was suffering, accompanied by a devoted sister she spent the winter in that far away sunset land of health and beauty. But these fondly cherished hopes were doomed to disappointment. Notwithstanding the best medical skill, he most loving and assiduous attention and care of sister and hnsband, 1 the most earnest prayers of many devo'ed christian friends, the disease steadily fastened its grasp more and more firmly upon her, until soon it became evident both to herself and all aronntl her that the end was not far off. Her one desire was that, if possible, to die at home bat in this also God ordered otherwise, not granting her the sight again of her earth home, bnt taking her to his own infinitely bf tter and glorious heavenly home. On the home journey, in the distant territory of Arizona, at the still hoar of midnieht, amid strangers, on the on-moving railway train, with only her hnsband and sister and little child with her, her pure spirit resigned, and submissive to the will of Qod, strong in its firm faith in Christ, and joyous in a blessed hope of a glorious immortality, passed away from earth to the eternal city of God.

Her faneral servioee, largely attended, were conducted at the home of her mothei, Mrs. Matilda McBride, by the Rev. Dr. Gotwald, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Heling and the Rev. C. J. Burkert. after which her remains were tenderly laid to their rest in Christ, and in peace in our beautiful Fern Cliff cemetery. Mrs. Routzahn was beloved by a multitude of friends. Beautiful in person, gentle and amiable in disposition, unselfish in her life and spirit, true in her friendships, an affectionate and obedient daughter, a loving sister and devoted wife, a faithful mother, and, in all a sincere, and spiritually minded Christian, unmurmuring in all her sufferings, and resigned in life or death to the will of her Heavenly Father. Hers was indeed a character and personality ttpor. which memory will ever, in tb vear 'o come, fondly and lovingly dv.-J'. '^ssed are all who, like her, thus both live and die in the Lord.

golden robee a queen, a bride, She stands now at the Savior's side She sees His faoe unveiled and bright, A l«eeer light sraid His light.

THIS WILL RAISE YOUR HAI*?.

A Very (Sood Story From State. Lonisvilln Commercial.

Prollfio

About three miles from Princeton, Kv on the Wilson Warehouse road is a !)end of the Stevens creek, in a low, marshy flat about an acre in size. Tbe earth is of a greenish color, and no weeds or grass of any kind was evey known to grow in it, and (luring the dryest season ic is always wet. Old Uncle Peter Black, a native of the Donaldson district, came to town last August (election day), and according to his habits with jovial friends, drank too much. L-ite that, evening he saddled his old gray mule and attempted to wend his way home. When the rider and the old mule came to the creek, either by the obstinacy of the mule or by some mystic hand, the old animal went into the marsh and spilt Uncle Pete. The soft, damp earth proved a soothing balm to the bald, aching head of the old man, and the excitement of the day was Boon forgotten in a dreamless sleep, from which he was awakened next morning by the heat of the sun, to find half of his head and left side covered tvith mud. About two weeks after the accident Uncle Pete found that all that part of his body that had been covered with mud was covered with a fine growth of young hair.

St. Valentine's day he came to town and showed a number of our most prominent men a luxuriant growth of hair three and ene-half inches in length, covering hiB left side and half of his head. At first his story was laughed at, but, since a bald head is a source of great annoyance to the owner, a few that were sensitive on the loss of hair began to view it in a different light. For the past two weeks about twenty are wearing ulicaps inlaid with this muck. Yesterday several took off their caps, and to their great joy and happinees their heads were covered with a fine growth of young hair, but unfortunately it was red as a beet.

The owner of the marsh has had it enclosed by a high plank fence, and sells the muck at 82 a pound, and the demand is becoming so great that he can scarcely fill all tbe orders.

A REMARKABLE FIND.

A Ring Loit In London Five Year*

He followed the stranger to the Lafayette hotel and, introducing himself, related the circumstance under which the :ing was lost. As a proof of the identity of that worn by the gentleman with the lost ring he raised the setting and disclosed, to the 6tran er's astonishment, a miniature likeness of himself. Tbe lat ter, who turned ont to be a well-known London lawyer, stated he had found the ring in Hyde park, and at once returned it to Mr. Bell,

A Large Attendance.

The enrollment at the Normal school for the present term has reached 602, the largest number of students ever present at this time in the term. It has been to purchase new desks and other furniture to accommodate the increased attendance.

HERE AND THERE.

The Bloomfield Democrat of this week devotes, its entire first page to the iron question It republishes a lengthy article from Harper's Weekly in regard to Birmingham, Ala., her coal and iron resources. The Democrat also republishes the article in fall which appeared in last Sunday's Express. The Express' publiawakened a great amount of interest in the iron ote deposits in thu part of the state. Referring to the Harper's article, the democrat says "We copy the above for two reasons: Fire-, to convince our people that we huve here everything that Birmingham hr.s and secondly, to show them what onr future will be if we will only eo to work and advertise our resources and get men of enterprise and capital to take hold of them. In Birmingham the coal and iron are twenty rafles apart. Here we have iron and coal in the same hills. There they have to coak their coal. Htre we have coa^ in the same hills with the iron ore which will smelt without coakicg. Here none is needed Oar coal and ore are both in quantities as great as at Birmingham. The quality is ass ood if not. better. We challenge the world to produce any pig iron superior to th.it made of our ore. Estimates have been made by iron manufacturers and they say pig iron can be made here cheaply £8 in Birmingham, and we are only one-third the diatance from the praat market for it. Nearly all iron ore has to be mixed with ores from other mines. It is not sc- with ours. We have both the ied and the black hemitite and kidney ore. There are no foreign substances in it, as in many of the iron deposits. Like the Birmingham ore, there is nearly enough limestone in it to smelt it, and if there is not enough, inexhaustible quantities are found by the side of it. With all these resources we need only advertising to outstrip Birmingham. We have everything they have and more too. But as lopg as no concert of action is taken, nothing will be done. A real estate agency should be formed, an option or leases given them on all the mineral land, or else the people owning the land shculd form a company of themselves and authorize some of their number to dispose of the lands of all and each one pay say 10 cents on each acre of land for the purpose of advertising it. Newspapers are not going to advertise it unless paid for it, and after it is advertised capitalists are not going to come here and have to barter with Tom, Dick sr.d Harry for the land in forty acre tracts. Let us get together, agree upon some plan and do something. Had energy and business tact been manifested ten years ago Bloomfield would to day be one of the greatest manufacturing cities ia the'Northwest."

The warm weather has started a decided fermentation in the political pot. 11 has commenced to boil vehemently and every indication points to a vigorous and exciting campaign. There are a large number of candidates crimping their feathers for nominations foi the different offices. The Democratic candidates are especially sly in their efforts to secure the nomination. From present indications it seems that Mayor Kolsem will be renominated by the Democrats. Mr. Kolsem, however, is placed in a rather delicate position. He probably would accept the nomination were he confident of success at the polls. He is lacking in confidence and this is perhaps ihe reason he hss not announced iiis candidacy. Mr. Koleem is lying the tail weeds watching the movement of he local political forces. Should he think that his commanding presence would lead the Democratic column on to victory, the statement can be relied upon that he will lay claim to the nomination mayor. Defest for mayor would mean death to his political influence. Discretion it the better p3rt of valor and }iia honor, the mayor, prefers to retire from the arena covered with glory rather than to lie outstretched a political corpse, with his aspirations oozing out of a fatal wound and reddening the sands ot tbe Wabash bottoms. As quiet -s the mayor may be reputed to be, he is nevertheless secretly feeling the public pulse and ascertaining as far as he can his chances in the race.

For the other city offices the present incumbents will perhaps be renominated. City Treasurer Fitzpatrick, when sked by a reporter, said he was a candidate for renomination. George Davis, clerk, has a conviction that the nomination is within his clutches. He too will accept it if he thinks the winds are blowing a propitious gale. j?rank Morrison is ont and "hustling" for the renomination tor city marshal. With as strong a Democratic ticket as can be placed in thefield there isevery indication of a big Republican victory this spring. A breeze sprung up in this direction some titt'e ago ana has continued to increase iustrength as election day draws near.

An Express reporter yesterday met a gentleman prominently connected with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen upon the street and while walking with him a few squares gained some interettio? information. "Have any new lodges "been organized of late?" asked tbe reporter.

:'Yis.

Ago

Restored Laura Joyo Bell. Philadelphia Timea. A opal ring, loet about five years ago in London, by Mrs. Laura Joyce Bell, of the Ruddvgore compacy, at McCaull's, was recovered on Saturday under rather curious circumstances. Digby Bell, the husband of the well known contralto, had called at tbe box office of the Opera house to eceive his mail, when a gentle man called to purchase some tickets for ihp matinee. Upon extending Lis hand receive then), Mr. Bell noticed th.i* he wore an opai ring, the peculiar setting of which convinced him it was the one loet by his wife.

Two uew ones have been or

ganized within a tew days, one in Pennsylvania and the other in the West." 'How many lodges comprise the brotherhood "I think the two new lodges increase the number to 363, or possibly 354 "Yes. We are organized now in every state and territory in the United States with the exception of Indian territory. Lodges nave been founded in North Carolina, South Carolir.a and in Florida, three in the last-named Plate." "The brotherhood has not extended over the South until qaite recently, hM it?" icquired the reporter. "No. It was somewhat difficult to organize the Soutb, because there are few white firemen." "Why," asked the reporter somewhat surprised, "are colored firemen excluded fnm the brotherhood?" "Yes, they are not taken in. The number of white firemen in the South is rathei small. Then wages are low. 1 know of one case where a fireman of a passenger engine made a run of over 170 miles and was paid $1.25 for making tbe rnn. Colored labor in the South is very cheap. I think some of the firemen in the North would find it rather difficult getting along on some of the wages paid in the southern states."

Continuing, the reporter's informant stated that a thorough organisation of

the B. of L. F. in the South might secure better wages for tbe firemen. Still the cheapness of labor and the competition would be a rather diffiult obstacleio overcome.

An Express representative, the other day, dropped in at the new court house. Work is progressisg rapidly. On the npper floar the marble has been put down in the halls and the rooms floored. The plasterjDg has also been completed. The plasterers have completed the upper portion of the dome, and part of the scaffold has been taken down. The workmen are stilLengaged in descending. The view, although i.onsiderably obstructed is even now very pleasing, and when completed the dome will be a beauty. The various rooms on the middle floor have been plastered and work is far advanced in all except the court rooms. Neither of these has yet been entirely lathed. They will be ready for the plasterers within a short time. Upon the lower floor quite a number of the rooms already present a very neat appearance. The plastering has been completed in many of the rooms, mantles have been put in, and hydrants arranged. The iron work of the large stairway leading to the different floors is being placed in position. Ascent to the upper floors is now gained by means of ladders. The progress of the work has been very satisfactory and has reached such a stage that Mr. Hannaford and an assistant are here and will begin work immediately upon the plans and specifications of the interior furnishing of tbe building. Although not a very desirable resort for sight-seers owing to the dirt encountered there are nevertheless a very large number of visitors to the building.

The New York Coal Trade Journal contains the following relative to Indiana mines: "At Clay City the coal shipments are light at present. Alum Cave mines, New Pittsburg, are doing well— running on Chicago trade. At Cardonia the mines are running nearly full time. The Washington mines are being rapidly developed. The E. & T. H. road is putting^iew cars into this trsde. The opening up of tbe Chicago & Indiana Coal road, from Chicago to Brazil, with the almost completed link connecting it with the Evansvilie & Indian apolis at Saline City has materially quickened the development of the coal industry. Several new mines are in contemplation along the route in Clay county, where is also the greatest activity. In Parke county two shafts are in course of construction at Roseville by the Brazil Block Coai company, and one at Rosedale by the Parke

The talk of the formation of an athletic association has struck Wall street, and it has been visibly affected. Especially is this noticeable among the younger members of the bar. They are enthusiastic over the proposed association and they are anxiously awaiting the time •when they can be afforded the opportunity of taking a thorough course cf athletic training. The new movement to form the association is regarded favorably by a large number of clerks who are closely confined during the day and are in need of exercise. There should be a large attendance at the meeting which is to be held at the council chamber next Thursday night. It is to be hoped that the meeting will bring forth substantial results.

"How about the new directory asked an Express reporter of Charles O. Ebel, publisher of the city directory. "Next summer," he replied. "Next summer!" exclaimed the reporter. "I thought it was due now." "I mean tbat it wiii be published this mentb. It is about completed now." "That's more encouraging," replied the reporter, as he passed on.
