COMTLAINT is made, in the large cities, that insurance companies frequently take risks amounting to more than the capital of the companies, in a single block, or square, liable to be destroyed by a single fire. The National Board of Fire Underwriters is endeavoring to remedy this evil.,,

THAT was a pretty good lump of coal sent from Perry ceunty, Ohio, to the Centennial. The column is a solid mass four feet square and twelve feet eight Inches high, weighing eleven tons. Counting 70 pounds to the bushel, there would be 314 bushels in the lumpenough to last a moderate sized family through a whole year.

THE iron and nail manufacturers have entered into combinations for keeping up prices. Their rules require quite a heavy deposit as security against any violation of the articles of agreement. This the American Manufacturer regards as the only safety for manufacturers, but we fail to see wherein

differs

in principle from the "trades unions" which manufacturers so much deprecate.

WHENHVER concealment is desirable, avoidance is advisable," said Mr. Blaine in hi3 recent defense. A more admirable or concise test for public or private action could not be presented. That which will not bear the light, but must be kept under tbo cover of secrecy, may generally be safely regarded as wrong, and hettce be avoided. Public men especially should in their official actions remember and be guided by this truth. It would save them many heartaches. _____________

IT turns out after all that tne cnarges of corruption against Blaine, and

which

that gentleman has so promptly and wt isfcctorily disposed of, was merely a diversion in flavor of Bristow and not at all in the interest of Morton, as the conspirators woald have had the country believe. Tbo scandal was fixed up in by the editors of tbo Chicago Tribune, the Cincinnati Commercial, the Cincinnati Gaaetto, and General Boynton, the Washington correspondent of the last named paper. It was intended to kill two Presidential birds with oue stone. The effect will probably be that both Morton and Blaine will be strength-" ened by it and Bristow crippled.

A REPORT from a free public readingroom established in Paris in 1868, and designed more especially to attract the "working classes," shows that it has been remarkably successful, not its least notable feature being that it is opened on Sundays as well as week days, and that these have been, probably, the most* crowded days. The number of readers has grown from about 29,000 in 1808 to 51,000 in 1875. The report reveals the curious fact that the preference of the majority of readers Is for belles lettres, history and travels, and the still mora carious fisct, remembering ^rhat seems to have been the experience of librarians In this country, that works of fiction have been in steadily decreasing demand.

THE recent gerrymandering dodge in Indianapolis by which the city was rodistrioted in the interest of the Democratic party less than a week before the election, resulted as alt such disgraceful schemes should result—in the utter and overwhelming defeat of the party which perpetrated the swindle. The intelligent and respectable portion of the population, without regard to party affiliations, expressed their indignation at the whole bosineas by rolling up a Republican majority of more than foot thousand when, if the ward boundaries had been toll aa they were. It is doubtful if the Demoorata would not have carried the city. This result must be looked upon by disinterested persons as a fitttlng and well-Umed rebuke to that class of politicians who are ready at all Ume to resort to aoy and all kinds

,9f maun to secure a party tHsjopb,*

THE production of tin plate in Wales has for some time exceeded the demand. The market is overstocked and prices lower than have been known for years The manufacturers recently held a meeting and decided to reduoe production by closing one week In three from Aprlll 30 to June 80. They gave bonds in £500 each to abide by this decision.

IT. may' be taken as an encouraging sign of the times that manufacturers of English cutlery are no longer finding it profitable to compete in this country with American manufacturers. An agency in New York of a prominent Sheffield house has been abolished and the goods aro being packed up and shipped back to England. The Amerl can steel (as well as the American steal) has como to the front.

INDIANAPOLIS was unable to get through the election without a riot. Smarting under the certainty of igno mlnious defeat at the polls, the rowdies opened hostilities on their old enemies, the negroes, and two of the latter were mortally and several others dangerously wounded. No white man was hurt, No negro, either of the killed, the wounded, or of those arrested, was found to have had any arms in his possession. They had none. The riot was as disgraceful and unjustifiable an outrage as any that has taken place in any Southern State, and the "bummers" of the Democratic party—we do not say the Democratic party itself—are respon sible for it.

REMARKING on a collision between a beer wagon and a buggy by which the occupants of the buggy, a lady and her little boy, were considerably damaged, the lady driving having been looking in another direction when the shock occurred, the Indianapolis Herald pointedly says: "Of course she was looking in another direction. She would be entirely out of fashion and lose caste if she looked in the direction the korse was going. Such a thing is not to be thought of Supreme indifference to consequences is the first thing a woman cultivates when she becomes possessor of a horse and buggy." The editor of the Herald has a remarkably direct way of telling the truth and his observations in. this case do hiin credit. -.

IT must have been a serious disappointment to Senator Spencer, of Alabama, who by the waj is not himself one of those immaculate statesmen who soar entirely above the taint of official jobbery, to be told by President Grant that there must be some better reason for removing fkitbful officers of the Government than the mere behests of disreputable politicians. These were not perhaps the exact words in which the refusal was conveyed, but they express the facts. Before certain questionable transactions of the Senator's were ventilated, he had been permitted to control many appointments in his State. Since that time, many of his appointees have not been disposed to stand by him, and he Is after their scalps. Among those who refused to wink at bis corruption are the postmasters at Mobile and Montgomery. Ho went to the President and demanded their removal on no better grounds than the charge that they would not do bis bidding. The President refused to make the change and Spencer swore hostility to the Administration. By this action the President has earned the gratitude of tho people, who honestly wish he would more frequently cheek the disposition of members of Congress to dispose of Oovernm^it. offices to promote their private Interests.

OOLOHKL Dowuito is preparing an ordinance, which be will introduce at the next meeting of the council, reducing the salary of every officer and employ* of the city except the Market Master. He will also, it Is said, move to dispense with the services of a deputy dty clerk, deputy city engineer, and, probably, the deputy marshal. We endeavored to learn just what reductions in pay were contemplated, but the Colonel declines to make that public before the meeting

THE RESULT.

The following la the vote for connc^mon at the dty election Tuesday:

SIXTH WARD.

One of the gentlemen designated above as a Democrat, Col. Dowllng, really ran as an independent candidate, and was supported by a large number of Repub ileans the Democrats having made no nomination in that ward, he is put down as a Democrat and is, of course, so regarded by every oue. Counting him as such, the vote shows a Democratic majority of

52.

The council will now stand

precisely as it did before the election— seven Republicans and five Democrats, The interest in the election was lively, and the vote the largest that has ever been polled in the city.

TIIE NEW CO UNCIL.

The new city council will consist of the following: FIRST WARD, C. M. Carter, Philip Schloss.

SECOND WARD.

John G. Heinl, L. G. Hager. THIRD' WARD, J. F. Roedel, T. R. Gil man.

FOURTH WARD,

E. M. Gilman, Thos. Dowling. FIFTH WARD, Frank Smith, Jaa- B. Harris.

SIXTH WARD,

J. E. Glover, Patrick Mohan. Philip Schloss is the only councilman re-elected. Messrs. Henderson, Roderus, Gist, Haley and Cookerly retire to private life.

Politically, the new council stands as before—seven Republicans and five Dem ocrats—that is, if Col. Dowling may be set down as a Democrat, and we guess he may. t,

THE Toledo Blade of Saturday contains a half-column description of Heinl & Phillips' green-houses in that city. The Heinl referred to is George Heinl, a former well-known citizen of this place, and a brother of our own model florists, Lawrence and John Heinl. The Blade, after an interesting and lengthy description of the conservatories, which must bo very perfect in their way, speaks of Mr. Heinl in the following complimentary terms: "The houses aro under the management of Mr. Heinl, one of the most skillful practical florists in the West, and it is due to his taste and ability that the conservatory has reached its present high state of perfection. He is perfectly conversant with every detail of his business and his judgment and avice to purchasers regarding the selection and care of plants can always be relied on implicity. This is a great advantage for buyers. Mr. Heinl's taste and artistic skill in filling orders for bouquets, wreaths and floral Ornamentation, has attracted to their conservatory much of the business that was formerly sent to Cleveland, Cincinnati and other cities. He produces as fine work as can be obtained anywhere. Altogether the establishment is one of which our city can feel justly proud."

Mr. Heinl is a clever gentleman, and his many warm friends here will be glad to hear of his continued fine-suc-cess in that business to which all the Heinls seem so peculiarly adapted. Mav his shadow never grow less.

THESUNDA SCHOOLS. The fifth quarterly Convention of igo County Sunday School Union was held at the First Baptist church in this city on Tuesday. The attendance was large and the Interest manifested most encouraging. No business of special Importance was before the convention. That is to say, there was no business of extraordinary importance to general readers, or such as to justify an extended report. The reports of the officers were Interesting as showing the condition of the schools, and we quote the following:

THE COW ORDINANCE The Express oomes to the side of The Mall In urging the passage of an ordinance prohibiting cows from running at large in the night time. It says:

The council last night voted down the cow ordinance, providing for the im-

Erge

unding of cattle found running at in the city between seven In the evening and seven in the morning. It Is even said that tho present Imperfect ordinance Is likely to be repealed at a future meeting. It would seem that the city has outgrown tbo village period, and that property owners have some rights that are entitled to respect. The cows running at large doubtless destroy and injure more property each year than they are worth. They put a clog upon the beautifying of the city, and are the cause of numberless annoyances and inconveniences. We urge citizens to speak to their representatives in the council on this subject, and to urge such action as will give relief from these bovine pests.

We hope that the incoming council will have the nerve to enact an ordinance Impounding cattle found on the streets after dark. We know it will cause a little lnconvenienc3 to owners of cows. It will require the expense of a few boards and a pound or so of nails, but what is this compared tvith the damage nightly done to grass plats, to gardens, to shrubbery, to the defilement of streets and sidewalks. Just at this time there is a general movement towards making all out-doors "blossom as a rose" and to cause our beautiful Prairie City to become still more beautiful. Such enterprise should be warmly encouraged. Besides, our city is getting rather too large to be used as a cow pasture. One pesky cow can upset an entire neighborhood.

CO VNCIL COMMITTEES. There is considerable curiosity to know how the standing committees of the new council aro to be composed. Mayor Edmunds has had the matter under consideration for several days but very properly declines to eay anything publicly, at this time, as to their formation. We think, however, from tho slight conversation we have had with him upon the subject, that the public will have no cause for complaint. The members who hold over will doubtless as far as possible be retained on the committees upon which they have for the past year been serving and with the duties of which they are in consequence familiar. A new committee—"Ways and Means"—will be organized, on which it will be the intention to place the very best men. Col. Dowling will probably head this committee, though his name is mentioned entirely without authority from Mayor Edmunds or anyone else. Making a rough guess as to who will head the other committees— this also without authority—we should state it about as follows: The names marSed with an asterisk represent chairmen of the same committees, holding over. 'r'

0Roedell—Finance."

Dowling—Judiciary.

It will be seen that this gives six cl airmanships to Democrats and nine to Republicans though that is a point of secondary importance. The main thing should, unquestionably, be filling each place with the man best qualified to perform its duties, and this we believe will be done as nearly as possible, whether those mentioned happen to be the men or not. .- I*

MRS. MARGARET ROBINSON MILLER,— (the mother of Daniel Miller)—who died on the 27th ultimo, was the oldest resident of Parke county, having resided in the county since 1818, a period of fiftyeight years. She was born January 15th, 1804, in Montgomery county, Ohio, four miles south of Dayton. In 1815, her father, Robeit Robinson, moved to Indiana, settling first at Fort Harrison, three miles north of this city afterwards, six miles southeast of the dty, where he built the first blacksmith shop ever erected in the county and after that on Otter Creek prairie, five miles north of Terre Haute. In 1818 he removed to Parke county. The deceased was married to Tobias Miller January 8th, 1824, and the following day took up her residence In t|ie same house, two and a half miles northeast of Brldgeton. in which she has just died, having lived in it continuously for almost fifty-two years. She was an estimable lady and very generally beloved by a large circle of acquaintances. Though ber death will be sincerely mourned, the lesson of her beautiful christian life and example will not be Inrgotten.

Shows Show People.

The Allen Spectacular,Company opened last night at the Opera Houae to a good sited audience—it was very large in the upper part of the house. The performance waa good and it waa bad—but on the whole above the average of variety entertainments. The first part was tame, but the oompany came out strong in the after soenes and called ont the most .enthusiastic applause. The St. Felix girls, a quartotto of sisters in chsrge of their mother, »re good in «11 their acts—Miss Lottie La Point is graceful snd artistic in her dauces—-better in these than in song. But the big features.^are the acts Chance snd Davis, who in their negro sketches, songs, dances and acrobatic feats, are simply immense. To-night an entire change of programme the great burlesque of tho "Female Forty Thieves."

At Dowling Hall to night the Camilla Urso Concert Troupe will appear under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., and we are promised as chaste and: elegant an ontertainment is has ever has been preseuted In that hall. Camilla Urso is the scknowledg« queen of the violin, and she is assisted in the entertainment by a quaitetto of fine vocalists in a well selected programme. Wherever they have been the press aud people are enthusiastic in their praise. Reserved seats can be secured at W. II. Paige & Co's music fit-- re, without extra charge.

On Wednesday and Thursday evenings of next week Rolin Howard's Opera Burlesque Combination will play at the Opera House, producing a fino. olio entertainment, and the burlesque! of "Yeast Lynne." This is a new organization, our city being the ninth stopping place, but the testimory of the preBS is strongly in its favor. The Indianapolis Sentinel has this to say:

A splendid house welcomed the (frlglnalpl production of Mr. T. It. llann's new bur-®: lcsque entitled Yeast Lynne,

venr comical

ami ludicrous parody upon one of the sad-* destand most brilliant of modern Englishrdramatizations. A largearaouutof beautiful ballet business is introduced, and any number of operatic airs and ballads, all of which were more or less enthusiastically received. Rollin Howard made an exceedingly funny Lady I-s-a-Bellu, and succeeded quite as well In the sister role oi M'mc Whine. His last vocal effort was in the duet, "Say Once Again I Love Thee," from Don Pasquale, with Miss Laikelle. Tho5^ aria is simple, graceful and melodious, and? the conuterpaiit was adniirablv sustained. Miss LarkeHe, Sir Frank Leu\ ing-sc n. WAS of course tho bright star of the galaxy, playing with agreat tie «1 ot dash and singing with spirit and in excellent volco and taste, in the famous drinking ong, troin UlrotlcOirofla, she received a triple encore, and in, the duet above mentioned was (juito entliusiastlcally applauded. The music was linp-s plly selected for her voice, which Is rich, SS'

iuro snd refined, and far above the averagefc, either burlesque or comic opera. Miss' Kemp (Dickey Hurt-), who htut become a prime favorite with the old I)i ury's patrons, •, was also In good voloe uud won several encores. Her "Keep on Kissing Me" was a decided hit, and her "I'm itoinK to Marry-: Nettle," brought down tlu- house from gallery to parqnette. Miss Fannie Beano maintained, In tho role of lUuhara Hare, the popularity she has enjoyed here all the winter. She played her pnrt in a very sprightly and original manner and recetvcd several flattering encores- notably after her song und dance, "What. Would Society Say." Al. Llpaian w«w well cast for Archibald Carlylc, and mane the most, that could bo made out ol such a character In burlesque. Mr. Goodrich's Lord Mount Lever-In was clever enough the support generally was excellent, and altogether the production may fiiirly be considered a sue-, cess.

The costumery Is magnificent, and the scenery and properties all that e«uld have been reasonably expec.ed. '1 he olio preecding the burlesque was fully uplo the Metropolitan standard, and introduced several new faces to the audience. A owing them there are not one more attractive than the bright and pretty little four-yenr-old girl, Baby Belmont. Her singing and acting were absolutely wonderful tor one of such tender years. Mian Durrell was greeted with applause that bordered on thesens-n-tlonaland had the hearty geod will and high appreciation of the audience from flratto last. Tbis la a big show and we shall expect to see a big busluess support given It. Speaking of It generally we hn\e rarely had so good aprodiiction upon any stage lDf the city.

NEW DRY GOOD'S HOUSE. All the dry goods housoo having moved up town a clear fiold has been left in the west end, for L. Caldert who has opened a now and fresh stock of dry goods, boots and shoes, at No. Maiu street, uorth of the public square —tho room formerly occupied by J. A. Foote. The bouse will bo a great convenienco to people of tho west end and ow over-tbo-river people. Mr. ('alder has boen fortunate in securing Mr. J. 15.

CENTENNIAL DIRK' TOR I*. This is one of the enterprises underdertaken as a memorial of the centen- $ nisi year. It is to be a handsome book .v. of nearly one thousand pages, quarto size, with a number of very finesteelf engravings, including a steel engraving of the centennial building. It will contain the names of a large number American and foreign visitors of note, the Centennial Exposition, together wit the age, address, etc., of each.

In addition to the list of visitor*, it proposed by the compiler to have eluded in it the name*, W, residen etc. of a limited number of citizen.* every dty in the United 8tates.

The work will be substantially bor« and placed in the Capitol of eveiy If and Territory and in each School in the United States, whetf® books will be preserved as a sou"* of the Centennial year of our corT. as well as a most valuable book erence.
