Si th, .1870, persons erecting buildings in the city are required to take out permits for the same under a penalty off 10. For *11 the buildings erected daring the past year, there have been about four permits taken out, and no person has been fined. How is this?

EACH poiloeman now oar ties next his heart a oopy of the "Be gulationa governing the city polloe force." When they are uncertain r* to their duty, they refer to their tftUe book and are Immediately set jght. They are forbidden to enter Ir nproper places without orders, unless Ailed in to quell a disturbance the must appear neat and cleaaiyatall times— wear the regulation uniform—tfjuH be civil, orderly and courteous -aid the fire department when required to do so—wear a badge on which is his number, whioh he must show when requeeted to do so, and mar4y other things too numerous to motion. Theee rules went Into force '•"TO"""*

CORPORATIONS are generally much abused as soulless Institutions whioh are of no benefit to any but those who originate and hold stock In them. Our waterworks have oome In for a great deal of this sort of slang, yet If they were taken away from us the oity would soon find a want whioh could not be supplied from any other sou roe. The fires of the past few days might teach those who carp against them that we would be in rather a bad fix without them. On Thursday evening, at a distance of over a mile from the works, •eight streams of water were thrown at •onetime and each one with sufficient force to knock down a strong man if he had the misfortune to oome in its way and this tremendous pressure wss attained by using only one of the two powerful engines which mtp plaoed in the works. With a properly organized and disoiplixed fire department with such facilities for extinguishing fires at hand, the city need have little to fear.

THB general opinion of those who witnessed the fire on Thursday evening is that the Terre Haute fire department ia sadly in need of reconstruction. If it were not for the exoellent water fact ties which we possess, the city absolutely would be at the mercy of the flames in case an extensive fire should break out. At the planing mill there was an evident want of discipline. Hose was laid where in a very few minutes it was destroyed by the fire. From Walnut street it was run south to the flames instead of being taken in the rear Of the school building and used in a manner which would have* saved that building and the one adjoining, while not one foot of hoee was laid east of the fire at all. The men all worked energetically, and for that they deserve praise, bat for little else can they be commended.

In going to the fires yesterday, the driver of one of the reels oapeiced It, while the steersman of the hook and ladder apparatus nearly made a waeok of it in turnicg a corner. If there were a little less hurry sometimes, there might possibly be a little more speed.

NEXT week the finance committee who have in charge the raising of funds for the soldiers reunion, to be held hereOct. 1st, will call upon ourciticens for subscriptions to aid the movement. It is proposed to raise ¥2,000 in this manner, which amount will be distributed in premiums to the beet drilled military company, the best drilled artillery company, and the best band la attendance. A mammoth camp will be established at the fair grounds, at which rations will be furnished the men at re leonable.sates by those in charge, and towards which, the outside townships are segues ted to oontribute any articles in the eating line which they may deem necessary. iBy pursuing this oourse the committee are confident of drawing together the largest assembly which this city has ever witnessed, and hope by careful management to add a large amount to the monumental fund.

Arrangements are being made to secure the preeenoe of Osas. Sherman and Sheridan, to review the troops.

THB board of health are dalng.all in their power to plaoe the oity ia«bealthy condition. Nuisances are being Abated as rapidly as possible, and ia to be hoped that all lovers of good health will give all the aid in their power (to bring abont the desired reeult. Aa old phy slciao of this city once said It was im possible that Terrs Haute ooald be afflicted with an epidemic, on nooount of the epongy nature of the soil. He .probably forgot that there is a point whose a sponge osasos to absorb, and it is barely possible our soil has rsaobed that point. A member of the board of health says that It will take nearly three years .to put the city in a good sanitary oondiiiou, on account of past neglect. Sowaver, let the good work go on

The fever Is not Increasing, ahioh would Indicate that there Is oat auch now to be feared from it, although a heavy rain might give It new life by washing more filth into the walls in that section of the city.

It is now thought the principal cause of the fever was the impure state of a number of wells out of which those afflicted have been using water. Aa analysis shows the existence in the water of much whioh would cause It.

At the next meeting of the ooondl, the board of health will present that body with a lengthy communication on the sutyeet.

A oimiiiAJt who baa just returned from Vlncennee, says the managers of the starch works, which were burned down a few days ago, are talking of rebuilding in Terre Haute. This would be a good move for them and this city too. We have here good protection against fire, low taxes, and every inducement which oould be desired.

On Thursday evening at half-past six o'olook the alarm was turned on from the Ninth street engine house, the large planing mill of Thomas B. Snspp, on the southeast ooraer of Ninth and Wal* nut streets having osught fire. A gentleman living a very short distance from the premises saw a light In the mill a few minutes before the alarm was given, and In a very ahort time the whole eonoern was one miss of flame. Most of the fire departm* nt vas prompt* ly on hand, but the Intensity of the best prevented them from doing anything towards saving any part of the burning mill. The Oathollo aohool house and a small dwelling adjoining it, on the north side of Walnut street, opposite the mill, soon caught, but the flames were sub* dued In a ahort time, after greatly damaging the property. So Inflammable was the planing mill that from the time the alarm was sounded until It was entirely consumed only bslf an hour bad elapaed.

The mill building, ineludlng the engine, boiler, and two of the planing maohlnea, was the property of Samuel McKeen, whoee loss will probsbly be about |4,600. He Is insured in the jfitna for 91,600, represented by L. G. Hager. On Mr. Snapp'u property there was no insursnce whatever, and his loss will be about 95,500, consisting principally of lumber and finished house trimmings. Eshman A Reese lose 100,000 feet of of dressed lumber which had just been finished, and was staaked ready for removal. There were thirteen men employed In the mill, who were not only thrown out of work, but lose their tools, valued at 91,000. The total loss will not be far short of #15,000.

Misfortunes never oome singly yesterday afternoon at half past one o'olook the department was

AGAIN CALLED OCT

to the corner of Filth and Mulberry streete. When they arrived they found a row of outhouses, on the slley between Fourth and Fifth streets, running north, in flames. The fire started in a stable In the center of the block. The fire department got to work as quickly as possible and suooeeded in saving the adjoining buildings. The German church got a good aoorohing, but is not materially injured. The stable in which the fire started belonged to Mrs. Bishop aome boys had been amusing themselves in it a few minutes previously. It was rented by Combe A Rogers, who at th? time had five horses in it. Four of them were rescued, but the other poor brute perished. Tbey also lost two sets of harnees and a quantity of feed. From Mrs. Bishop's stable the fire spread to that of-Mrs. Langford, which was consumed immediately. The total loss will reach about 91 »000, which Is partly covered by Insurance. After extinguishing the fire the different reel companies commenced making arrangements to return to their houses and get everything in readiness for the next call, which, however, came sooner than they expected. Before they got started home tbey were summoned to the

SECOND FIRE,

about half-put two o'clock. Tbey were notified that a small shed was en fire In the alley running north and aeoth between Eagle and Chestnut streets, toe tween Third and Fourth streets. The hose wss plaoed in position as quickly aa possible, and soon three streams were playing on the buildings, which kept it within bounds and finally extinguished It. The stables destroyed were those of W. F. Walmsley, Wm, Peppers, faoob Steinmehl, George C. Boord, .faoob Miller, Samuel Kellogg and John T. Scott. The atables owned by Joha Mi, Wm. .Nicholson, W. H. Gilbert and Mrs. Loekwood were considerably damsged. Che entire loss Is not very heavy aad Is partly insured. 4

At a quarter past eight cfteloek the third alarm lor the day was givea *vn box 17. The fire departmeat froaqptly responded to the call and found Mt to be no falee alarm. Somelnhasaaa wrstehes had fired the stable of Qeerge (Lavaberger, near the oorner of the alley •running 'north from Syeassore stsest, between Twelfth and Thlrteeath streete. The building was entirely congested, together with a home and wagon. A stable north of it, belonging to Mr. I*. Keepert, was .also destroyed, and -one the:property of George Smith, partly oonsumed. While the work of ectin guisblng this fire waa going en the

FOURTH ALARM

was sounded from box 7,, whioh was answered by two of the reel companies, who found It was caused by the burning of a stack of straw on the pearie south of town. fg
