THE MAIL innocently gives the Indlanapolla papers a curtain lecture tor their sympathy towarda Bill Rodlfor, imagining the Bill in question to be ear Vigo county ruffian. Our desperado spells his name Rudlfer and not Rodlfer. The last person is a boy whom the Indianapolis papers thinknas been treated too severely.—Gasette.
There you go again. It does seem like a paper with two libel suits on hand ought to be more careful in its assertions. The "Indianapolis boy" and the "Vigo county ruffian" are one and the same person.
The efforts which from Uve to time have been made to unite the two Presbyterian churches seems at last about to be accomplished. The two churches, on last Wednesday evening, voted on articles of union with great unanimity, except on the question of pastor. One article of the union la that Rev. E. W. Abbey shall be pastor of the united church. There was opposition to this in both churches, not particularly en account of objection to Mr. Abbey, but because it was thought best to leave the church free to choose a pastor. It Is probable that the Ohio street church will he converted into a business house and that the congregation will occupy the church on Seventh street,

SAN I TART AGAIN,
During the summer months when typhoid fever made its appearance in this city and spread to an alarming ex tent, nearly every one beoame much excised leat it should become epidemic. In order that the cauae of it might be known, and measures taken to cheek it and prevent its reappearance at a future time, the board of health took the matter in hand, made a thorough investigation and reported the reaait of their labors to the city council. In their report they set forth at length the sanitary condition of the city, which was anything bnt flattering. The eoilisa very porous one filth of all kinds has been allowed to accumulate for years without hindrance in the oourse of time it has, in many placee, soaked through the soil until it has reached the water which we drink, thereby spreading disease, was generally supposed vigorous messuree would be taken at onoe. The board of health offered very sensible suggestions on the subject, and an ordinance was drafted upon thoee recommendations. The adoption of that ordinance has been postponed from time to time until there is no longer a possibility of its becoming a law. The city attorney was instructed to draft one which would snswer as a substitute for it, and upon being asked at the last oouncil meeting if he had prepared it, answered that the mayor and one or two members of the council had informed him that it was unnecessary to take any steps until next spring. The mayor seems to know more about the sanitary condition of the city than the board of health. His ad vice is followed and they are snubbed without ceremony, although their recommendations were quite reasonable and could be objected to by no one who has the interest of the city at heart, They recommended the abolition of hog pens within the city limits these have become an intolerable nuisance in some parts of the city, snd are daily on the increase. Also thst garbage wagons should be used by the city all sorts of filth of this kind is daily thrown into back yards, alleys and vacant lots. The prohibition of the digging of sinks or privy vaults in the vicinity of public places or wells. That privy vaults should be walled and cemetoted instead of com polling people to build new ones. That the coopers vats should be kept clean and be disinfected. That the slaughter house nuisance should be abated and one built by the city where all the butchers would be compelled to slaughter. That a health officer should be appointed whoee duty it would be to destroy all bad milk, decomposed meats and fish inspect dairies, prohibit the feeding of swill to cattle and see that they are furnished with pure water, as disease msy be conveyed to the milk by allowing them to drink unclean water and several other matters equally as necessary for the welfare of the city,
People seem to have an idea that the danger has passed away with the warm weather. This Is a mistake. In the winter months the filth is not stirred up consequently it is not so obnoxious but the germs of disease are there and generate in winter, so that when summer arrives they are in a perfect state to convey the disease. If all the filth be cleaned away during the cooler months, there would be nothing remaining in summer to cause alarm or oomplaint. lhe privy vaults are in a very filthy condition. The law requires that they be dug not less than ten feet in depth, but nothing further. Often they are dug only the depth of a hogshead which is sunk in the ground, and the filth is allowed to work Its way through the soil to the nearest well. None of them are cemented, and very few of them have brick walls. When they become obnoxious to the owners they are oovered over with earth, and new ones dug.
The old canal bed Is another generator of disease. All sorts of filth are hauled and thrown into it —from old boots to dead cats and dogs. Polioe have been placed to guard against it, but dtisens have been known to haul all aorta of filth at night and throw It in.
The filth at the distillery was not disturbed during the heated term, because It was feared it would only make matters worse. In its neighborhood there are about 66,000 loads of manure, which has been accumulating tor years. It oould be removed now, but the chances are that nothing more will be heard of It until next aummer, when the fever again makes its appearance.
Another cauae of disease is the poor quality of meat which la often sold. Beef brought from outride the city has been known to be taken from animals which have died a natural death,—cattle and sheep. Unborn calves have been dressed and sold as veal, while very often the beef of cows about to oalve Is offered for sale. A public slaughterhouse would remedy this evil.
Stale vegetables are also sold in great quantitiea. At night they are carefully watered and covered over, and In the morning uncovered and sold as fresh.
The coopers vats, about which eo much oomplaint has been heard, are in the eame filthy condition. They have never been drained, nor Is It at all likely they will be until some more stringent measures are adopted.
The police have eerved about two hundred notices on persons who are at the present time maintaining nuiaaaess in the city, but this is ss tar as the matter goes. Promises tor their abatement are tendered and aooepted, and that Is the hwt beard of It. Why oar honorable Mayor does not taks any steps in the matter is a mystery, anleashe la afraid of hurting some one's toellwp, nd taring a voti thereby. It Is not a political question. Some steps should
be taken in this matter at once. Scarlet fever has made its appearance in the city also varioua forma of diseases of the air passages of the throat, all of which are caused by the unhealthy sur roundings.
FIRES!
After a rest of about a month the fire bugs seem to have renewed their devil ish work.
Late on Saturday night afire was discovered in the woodshed of S. R. Free man, aoulh Fourth atreet. It was put out without damage.
Sunday night about nine o'clock the barn on the Ball homestead, south Sixth street, was burned, with contents, in eluding the grey pony which for so many years has done faithful service for the family. The property was insured. A strong wind put the Female College in great danger, but the fire was confined to the barn.
Monday night at ten o'clock the Qooper shop of Jesse Clutter, on Cbeetnut street opposite the hominy mill, was burned, together with the outbuildings of the adjoining Early row. A large quantity of staves and a number of barrels were also destroyed. The fires in the shop bad been carefully extinguished in the evening, and all about the shop exprees the opinion that it was the work of an incendiary. Hudnut's big hominy mill was in great danger, but our never failing water works and efficient fire de partment saved it from destruction.
THE typographical art hss made wonderful progress the past ten years—and Terre Haute printers are not behind in taste and enterprise in producing the latest designs: We have before us as we write some very neat and tasty specimens from the job rooms of Moore A Langen, in the Daily Express building. One is a circular for John O. Heinl and there are two artistic designs for cigar labels that are hard to beat. If you want a superior job of printing give Moore A Langen your order.
—A considerable quantity of new and fanciful designs of type were recently added to the Globe Job Printing Office by the proprietor, C. W. Brown and a short time previous to this, a most com plete new cylinder job press found place in the Globe office. Our printers keep pace with the times, and we ven ture the assertion that few plaees, if any, in the country turn-out abetter olsss of printing than Terre Haute. Their prices, too, are lower than at many other points.
