A PAPER FOR THE PFOPLE.

THE RAMBLER.

VOTES AND OBSEBVATIONS ON MATTERS AROUND TOWN.

The policemen will have their new "-uniforms about the middle of the coming munth, and after that will put on true metropolitan style. The men will be drilled in military foot movements, and everything pertaining to the police -department will be carried out in a thoroughly systematic manner. Among the innovations to be introduced will be that of having the sergeant march the meti out to their districts every night, and detailed for duty, then putting it oat of the power of the men to stop and chat on the street corners, as was too often the inclination under the old style •of running things. Superintendent Vandever is determined to have all the business carried on in a systematic and

.efficient

manner, and the Rambler pro

phesies that in a few months the present force will have demonstrated itself to be not only far the best force we have ever had here—but so efficient and complete ib aH the details of the business that no future legislature—no matter what the political oomplezion—can afford to tamper with it.

Among the recent good orders issued by the superintendent is oue to stop loitering on the streets, and another to strictly enforce the law which provides a penalty for pa olio profanity. A few weeks ago the Rambler referred to the latter ovil as being very prevalent here, and he is glad to notice the order to put a stop to it. Corner loafing, too, is an «vil that has received as much condemnation as newspaper writers can frame words to express, and despite all that bas been said about it, there are many men so thick-skinned that words cannot touch them. The orders will be strictly enforced (as they can be now, without fear or favor) and ladies who have heretofore been insulted and 'disturbed by these offenders will hereafter find relief.

It remains to be seen whether M. M. -Joab will be punished for bis outbreak in the Superior court this week, or whether the fact that he is a lawyer will prove a shield from official action. It is «aid that Prosecutor Henry will push the case against him, and if he is not convicted it will be another instance of the extreme to which a lawyer can go in oar courts without being punished, while to an ordinary mortal under the -same circumstance# would the severest penalty be meted out.

It is aaid that W. T. Beauchamp has bis eye on the position of superintendent of the public building, in case Capt Fitch is displaced. There seems no excase, if the civil servioe rules are earried out, for the removal of this very efficient officer, whose qualifications for the position are not equaled by any one in this «lty. Work has been commenced on the building and it will not be long before the structure will begin to assume come definite shape and form.

After being severely set down upon, the bondsmen of Newton Rogers are at work securing another petition to the legislature to relieve them of their troobles. Such an example of sublime gall was probably never before exhibited in this county, which is so productive of men with "gall," and it can scarcely be possible that their efforts will secure them any recognition from the legislature. It woald be such a palpable case of stealing from the pockets of the people of Vigo county that the legislature, bad as it is, could scarcely feel called on to pass such a law.

The members of St. Stephens are not •content to do without a choir, and a movement is on foot to have a oomplete •choir rehearsed and ready for business on Easter Sunday. Rev. Delafleld is working up the scheme, and is said to be making excellent progress. Among the soloists engaged for the new choir are John H. Taylor, said to be a very promising tenor, and Dr. S. W. Foalston, baritone, both of *hom were recommended by Prof. Shide, director of the Oratorio society, of which all are members. Prof. Shide has also been offered the position or organist at the church and instructor of the boy's choir. ii

THIS city is fast acquiring Metropolitan facilities and conveniences. The latest is the introduction of the District Telegraph, with messenger service. Mr. C.

Farnham, is now here can

vassing for subscribers, and is meeting with encouraging success. The system will be started with three hundred subscribers. The expense is only fifty cents a month. A box is placed in each subscriber's house or office, by which calls can be made for police, fire department, your doctor, grocer, butcher etc—ten in all—without any additional charge. From fifteen to twenty uniformed messenger boys will be employed, and subscribers can use these at a cost of ten •cent* for each thirty minutes.

THE St. Clair fiats mast be an bdorous place if we are to credit a reporter of the Express who states that of the one hundred and fifty human beings who are corralled within the walls of the building, fully one-half are cyprians of the lowest type.

THE sermons of Rev. J. L. Corning, the new pastor of the Congregational church, are attracting marked attention. The Express published in full the sermon of last Sunday morning, and the Gazette gave a two column selection from the evening sermon. -.s-

AT Detroit, on Thursday, ftie horse men had a meeting and the name of the "Northwestern circuit" was changed to "Indiana and Michigan circuit." The series of races will I agin here on the 9th of Jane, thence to Crawfordsville, South Bend, Kalamazoo, Jackson and Saginaw, in the order named, ending at Detroit on the 21st of July. W. T. Beauchamp attended the meeting from this city.

THE great State of Terre Haute has been snubbed. The President went away down to the lower end of the State to get a Collector of Internal Revenue for this district. Tom Hamlon is his name. His nomination was sent to the Senate yesterday. Who is Tom Hanlon asks ninety-nine out of every hundred readers in these parts. He lives in New Albany, is a conductor on the L., N. A. A C. R. R., but just now is off on a vacation as a member of the State Legislature.

THE "Joab baby case" which has figured so largely in the courts and the newspapers, had a thrilling episode this week. It will be remembered that in the divorce of Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Joab, the court gave the mother custody of the child until next December. Shortly afterwards when Mrs. Joab started to go over into Illinois with the child, in violation of the court order, Mr. Joab seizedit at the depot and placed it in the care of his brother, G. C. Joab, a farmer across the river. Judge Allen's decision as to the child was appealed to the Supreme court, where it was sustained. In accordance with this Jadge Allen ordered the child brought into court on Wednesday. The, mother, accompanied by Dr. Weinstein, her brother-in-law, was there to receive it. After some legal contention, Mr. Joab, carrying the child in his arms, walked towards the mother to oboy the order. The latter rose from her seat and clasped the child in her aims. The boy held on to its father's neck and began to cry. "Come to mamma, my pet," said the mother. "I will not teach yoa to hate your father as he has taught you to hate me." She began to cry, and placing the child's bat upon his head said, Your father has treated as like barbarians. He should be ashamed of himself."

These words goaded Joab to a frenzy, and losing control of himself be drew a revolver from his hip pocket and placed It at the beck of his divorced wife's head. One moment more there woald have been a fearful tragedy, but deputysheriff Grimminger, jumping forward grasped the deadly weapon and the hammer fell upon his hand, preventing an explosion of the cartridge. Aa may be presumed there was a commotion in court. Mr. Josh's friends had difficulty in quieting him. During the excitement the mother took her child and went home,

Mr. Joab Is represented s» being very modi depressed and regrets his action. He has waived a preliminary trial upon a warrant charging "assault and battery with intent to kill," and given bond in the sam of 91,000 for appearance in the circuit court when the case la called for trial.
