How much did it cost?

But the all-night saloon and gambling will go.

Let's see what merit there is in the grand jury.

Isn't it about time for a public mani testation of indignation.

To the honor of Mayor Kolsem let it be said that he was not with the per jurers.

The Express believes that the grand jury can find sufficient evidence to indict the gamblers.

The Express intends to furnish the public and the Grand jury an interesting list of names in this wide-open business.

Terre Haute is about the only city in the country where the Week of Prayer is not observed. Terre Haute is also the only city in the country where a majority of the police board openly declare in favor of public gambling.

Mr. O'Sullivan, councilman from the Fourth ward is a cheerful specimen of moral oletuseness. He doen't know any more about the value of an oath and the crime of perjury than he does about public decency and that is nothing at all.

General Tom Browne is busy just now trying to clear his skirts of the charge that he favors the Cleveland Democratic tariff policy. General Browne was a little previous in acting the part of a leader, and ia consequently suffering for it. If there ever was a time when the Republicans should act in unison after full consultation, now is that time. One would think that the Democrats had in their ranks all the would-be leaders who rush in when cautious and thoughtful men, appreciating the true situation, have tho patience to consult with their party friends. Let the Democrats monopolize this sort of thing.

The indictment of men for interfering with the workmen at the car works is a most just proceeding if the indicted men have used threats or intimidation of any sort in preventing any man from selling his labor as he pleased. Of course the public does not know what evidence these indictments aro based on, it being one of the features of the grand jury system to lirst try a man unheard in secret, but the trial will bring out all tho facts,

From all reports there has been no violence about the works and the general public's information is that the strikers have done nothing more than use their persuasive powers in trying to keep men from going to work, something they have a perfect right to do.

K.

This matter of the enforcement of the law against public gambling has now reached that stage when heroic measures must be applied.

It is, perhaps, needless for the Express to say that it is enlisted in any sort of warfare that is necessary. When the gamblers and the wide open people went into the election a year ago with the avowed purpose of electing men who would be subservient to their interests the Express warned the public of the danger in such supremacy and has since labored diligently to thwart the efforts of those engaged in the scheme. In a degree the newspaper was successful. The mayor and police board were forced to order the closing of the gambling houses. Subsequently they ordered the saloons to be closed at midnight. The wide-open people then laid siege on tho council, and last Tuesday securod a change in the police ordinance by which they had placed on the police board three of the five commissioners, who are their tools. These three have flagrantly violated their oaths of office by instructing the willing heads of the police force to permit public gambling and all-night saloons.

The Express is of the impression that these commissioners ore amenable to IODI« law, perhaps that of perjury, but

whether this be true or not it is certain that they can be made amenable to a sense of public indignation. They can be foiled, at all events, because it is possible to punish every violator of the law by prosecution, irrespective of their police force.

CAN STAND SUCH CRAZINESS, Jf:

St Louis Globe-Democrat. One of the congressmen from Pennsylvania la suspected of Insanity but so long as his eccentricity shall take no worse form than that of "sitting wrapped in profound study," as the report states, the case need not be regarded as a very alarming or sorrowful one. The country can stand a great deal of crazlness of that sort on the part of Its members of congress.

MOISTURE THE HAPPY MEDIUM.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It looks now as If there would be three candidates for governor in Missouri next year—a Wet or Democratic candidate, a Dry or Prohibition candidate, and a Moist or Republican candidate. In this event moisture will carry the day.

THRIFTY ST. JOHN,

New York Tribune. St. John advances the claim that he is not a •'natural-born fool." No such suspicion Is entertained. He can summon the Democratic party to witness that he Is as smart a man at a bargain as any of their third-party employes.

PROSPEROUS IN SPITE OF DRAWBACKS, St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The country has too mauy "trusts, dishonest bank officials, and Democrats. Despite these drawbacks, however. It appears to be the greatest and most progressive country In the world.

A KENTUCKY IDEA.

Courier-Journal. The preponderance of winter marriages Is Quite enough to convince all young men yet unmarried that the bugbear of col-1 feet Is scarcely worth considering.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

"A Splendid Showing."

To the Editor of the Express. SIR In the Gazette of Wednesday is something new and novel in the way of advertising the health and prosperity of Terre Haute. It is headed "A Splendid Showing," and given a place on the first page in capital letters. The article in question is a sort of jollification, to put it mlldiy, over the tact that last month there were but eighteen Interments in the cemeteries here! This the Gazette declares is "a most unusual exhibit," and "a most flattering showing." The friends of the eighteen deceased will hardly regard their Interment as an "exhibit" or "a flattering and splendid showing." Of course as a people we are gratified to know of the small death rat,. but we would hesitate to Speak of It with the business-like satisfaction expressed by the Gazette. While It Is the duty of all citizens to give the town a good "send off," yet we would hardly commence at the cemetery to stint the "boom/'^

TERRE HAUTE, January 0.

PRESIDENTIAL CHARADE-MAKINti.

Some time ago the Cleveland Leader suggested the following method of finding the name of a desirable presidential candidate:

Alll-S-son H-awlev, Blaln-E,

Ha-R-rlson,

(iresha-M, Ev-A-rts. Ll-N-coln.

The Columbus Dispatch allowed that this was well enough, but preferred this combination:

Bo-B Lincoln,« Al-L-lson, Ev-A-rts, Harr-I-son. 8herma-N,

Hawl-E-y.

The Zauesville Times-Recorder presented its idea of the situation thus: Haw-L-ey,

Harr-I-son. Blal-N-e, Lln-C-oln, Allls-O-n, Ingal-L-s,

Sherma-N,

When this got back to the Leader office that paper offered the following for the consideration of Democrats, remarking that the names mentioned were those of the "most prominent candidates thus far, and if you will read carefully between the lines there will not be great difficulty in hitting upon the name of the probable nominee:"

Mr. Se-C-tlonalism, Mr. Rebe-L Flags, Mr. Fre-K Trade, Mr. Civil Ser-V-ice Reform,

Mr. D-E-coratlon D. Fishing.

Mr. One Term On-L-y, Mr. Jeffersoni-A-n Simplicity, Mr. In-N-ocu»us Desuetude, Mr. American CyelopaIMa.

Now comes the Washington Critic with this as popular with some Democrats, though slightly faded:

H-ill,

Morr-I-son. Carlis-L-e Cleve-L-and.

Then follow these suggestions: H-awlev. Blaln-E,

Ilar-R-lson, Sbe-R-man,

Gresha-M. Llnc-O-ln, Alll-S-on.

Evar-T-s.

Or this:

She-R-man, C-A-rllsle. Evar-T-s, Morrl-S-on.

And this one for a final send-off for the whole business: Cleve-L-and,

Blaln-E, Evar-T-s, Il-awley,

Sh-E-rman, lla-R-rlson, G-resham,

Morrls-O-n, In-G-alls, A-lllson,

Car-L-lsle, Hl-L-1, For-A-ker.

D. Carpenter, of Summerville, Ga., has a pair of twin roosters nearly grown which were hatched from the same egg. One is a dominique and the other black. Up to this time they have never been separated over twenty-five yards, and at night they lovingly roost on the same limb side by side. They never quarrel or fight, and to such an extent does their love go that one cannot flap his wings and crow without the other following suit.

A general of the Russian army quitted the service nearly forty years ago and had ever since been occupying some very poorly furnished rooms. A nephew of his, also an army officer, visited the old man frequently, taking the remains of his meals to feed the dog, for whom his uncle was loth to buy food. Imagine the young officer's astonishment when his uncle, whom he had considered very poor, by his last will made his nephew heir to a fortune of nearly three million rubles.

Janauschek was present as the plaintiff in a suit for §20,000 damages against Henry Bull, jr., proprietor of the Perry house at Newport, for injuries sustained by falling down stairs May 17, 1887, and breaking her arm. The plaintiff claimed that the stairway was dangerous at any time, and especially so at night, there being a lack of suitable lights. She showed that the accident obliged her to give up eight

The defense was that the stairs were not dangerous and were properly lighted, and that Mme. Januaschek was near-sighted, bringing an oculist from Boston to prove that fact.

AN AFRICAN MASSACRE.

A Party of English Hunters Lead 150 X»' tives to Death. LONDON,

January 6.—A private letter

from Bechuanaland brings details of the frightful massacre of natives by order of the king, brief mention of which was made in a cable dispatch a few weeks ago. The-letter says that Mr. Fred Leton, the celebrated hunter, with a party of friends, including Mr. W. Jamieson, of Dublin, and Captain Fountain,-who were on a hunting expe dition in King Lo Bengulo's territory, were away in Mashonaland after big game, accompanied by a bo^y guard of 150 Matabele warriors, in charge of an Induna or chief. Their duty was, while ostensibly acting as guards, to watch the white hunters and prevent their leaving the hunting grounds to prospect for gold The latters attention, however, was too great to be missed, and the entire party finally deviated from the huntinggrounds toward the northern gold fields, prospecting by the way. The chief was as much infatuated as his followers with the search, and one of them, believing that his own life was in danger, returned and informed King Lo Bengulo. The monarch immediately dispatched regiment, which overtook the party, and the native colonel announced that one and all had been condemned to death, the execution to take place on the spot. All the victims, to the number of 150, submittad without a murmur, the mode of execution being two spear thrusts and a blow from a ltnohberrie. The bodies were left for the vultures, while the English hunters were can tion'ed that the next time they went prospecting their hunting privileges would be withdrawn.

LOST FIANCEE AND MOXEY.

Mis* Gnlou Sues a Matrimonial Agency for the Return of ITn earned Fees. NEW YORK,

January

C.—MissE.

Guion

a good looking young woman who lately took a notion to wed, proposes to make it lively for Henry B. Wellman. The latter keeps a matrimonial agency in East Thirty-seventh street, and makes an honest living on the familiar plan at 85 per husband wife. He has seen his name print several times. Mies Guion says she paid her 85 and drew out of the box a certain Mr. Leroy, who was commended to her taste by the Wellman agency as a "fine and proper gentleman." Leroy began courtship forthwith, and made such progress that in a few weeks he was able to borrow SI,000 from the young woman, whose heart he had already won. Then he disappeared and Miss Guion says she has seen neither man nor money since. "He has disappeared," says the fair complainant, "to renew his operations and victimize others in the same manner. Instead of being a gentleman fit for a husband," she continued, "he was a swindler." Nor was this all. When Wellman discovered, as he thought, that a match was to be made, he went to Miss Guion and told her she would have to pay $50 more for his labors in her behalf. When Leroy went away Miss Guion returned to Wellman and demanded her $50. Many times she went and every time she was refused it. Wellman also kept her photographs, which she says are worth S5. She wants these badly, so that no other wicked man may see them. The case will be tried Friday.

SLEIGHING BY ELECTRIC LIGHT.

How Boston Gentlemen AVill Surround Themselves With a Blaze of Glory.

Elecricity is soon to be put to a novel use in and around Boston, says a special dispatch from that city. A number of wealthy Newton gentlemen are about to apply electricity to lighting their sleighs this winter and at other times their closed and open carriages. This is an entirely new and novel application, but it will shortly be quite familiar, as a Boston gentleman has gone to New York to secure the right to use the electric accumulators upon public carriages and conveyances of all descriptions. Mr. J. T. Moriarity, of this city, is about to fit out the sleighs of the Newton gentlemen with the electric lights. Three cells of batteries are to ba used, which will furnish three lights of six candle power, and will burn for thirty hours. After the electricity is all used up the batteries are taken to some dynamo and re-charged. In the case of the Newton gentleman a primary battery is to be located in the barn of one of the gentlemen where the others can take their batteries and get them charged. The expense of this charging can not be over §0 cents each time. The "plant" is a small one, and can be taken out and placed in any kind of a vehicle. It can be doubled, so that a gentleman can surround himself in a blaze of glory, if he so wishes. It can be readily seen that a procession of these electrically-illumin-ated sleighs, when colored glasses are used, would make a great spectacle upon the white snow. An electric-light sleighing carnival on the mile ground is not beyond the probabilities this winter.

LEFT HER MONEY TO A NEGRO.

Tho AVill of a Young Rhode Island Lady to Be Contested at Law. NEWPORT,

R. I., January 6.—A sensa­

tional trial soon to come up here will reveal the skeleton in the closet of a very respectable family. A short time since Miss Ellen Albro, a young lady, died. She was connected directly with a family residing on the island, and had an interest to tho extent of several thousand dollars in an estate in Middletown. After her death it immediately became known that she had made a will in favor of a colored man named James Hazard, who belongs to the Hazard family of negroes in Narragausett county, this state. The mother of Miss Albro, at one time a handsome woman, lived in the same house as Hazard. After it became known that Miss Albro had made a will in favor of Hazard, an inquiry was made by the coroner into the cause of her death, but nothing of importance was elicited. The provision of the will in which she disposed of her property gave it for life to her mother and then in fee simple to Hazard. Now a fierce contest is to be made over the probating of the will. At the time of her death Miss Albro was about to become a mother. Ex-United Senator Shefflield has been engaged to contest the will.

THE NEW COURT HOUSE.

How the Rooms Begin to Look—The Gu Fixtures and Other Finishings.

The county commissioners' room in the court house now looks like a carpet hall. The board advertised for bids for furnishing the new court house with carpet matting and window curtains. In response to the call a number of local firms have sent in estimates and accompanied them with samples of their goods. There are various kinds of carpets on display, and also window BhadeB and matting. The board yesterday devoted the greater part of the day to an examination of the samples. It is not probable that any decision will be reached on the bid for a number of days yet.

Mr. Sanford S. Henderson is now president of the board. At the last meeting held in December Mr. Henderson was selected. Prior to that time Mr. Levi Dickerson filled the presidency.

The architects of the new court house, Messrs. Hannaford & Co., Cincinnati, have furnished the board with specifications of the gas fixtures, grates, and elevator for the new building. The specifications for the gas fixtures state that the cost must not be over $5,000, that amount having been set apart by the board. The number of burners to light the building is left entirely to the bidders, but they must be adequate to thoroughly light the building. The fixtures will be brass, but must be of plain design, in order to admit of easy cleaning. The contract also includes gas fixtures, which are to be placed on the marble posts. These posts aro near the sidewalks at the beginning of the steps at each entrauco to the court house. There will be some figure upon the stone posts which will support the gas burners. The specifications for the grates give the spaces that have been left for the grates. They will be finished in brass. The elevator will be hydraulic and will bo constructed so as to run from the basement to the upper floor. It was the intention to have the to run to the garret, but the idea was abandoned. Tho car will be provided with an electric enunciator by which itcan be summoned to any floor. The board will in a short time call for bids for the three contracts.
