THE MAIL

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

THE RAMBLER.

NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS ON MAT TER8 ABOUND TOWN. 5

John Lamb has a peculiar knack of getting newspapers to apologize to him, making it appear that be is the most innocent and unjustly used young man in the world. The Indianapolis Journal not long ago used some pretty severe language concerning him, but the next day came out with an explanation and apology. Last Saturday the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette gave a three columB write-up of the political situation in the Eighth district, in which Voorhees and La ab and their appointees received such a going over as they have never before had, even in the Argo. On Wednesday the Commercial Gazette made an apology to Lamb, but let the Senator and the rest go with all the bad things that were said against them. There is much speculation as to what influence was brought to bear on that paper to call forth an apology. It is said that Lamb threatened a suit of libel, but It is not likely this alone brought it out. There is something else behind it, for Lamb's friends who ought to know refuse to talk about it.

The most peculiar feature about this entire affair, was the admission of the Gazette that part of the facts set forth by the Cincinnati paper are true, which is nothing more nor less than a stab at somebody—but who? It would have been charitable to have passed it by without oomment, or else denied the truth of the entire article. Bat the men who contributed to the fund of very interesting facts set forth are among the most prominent Democrats in this seotion, and it would not be policy to characterize them all as liars. Hence the editor of a political paper with a split in his party is in a position not to be envied.

The eleven o'clock law came up for -consideration before the police commissioners on Monday, but aotion was postponed. Messrs. Finkbiner and Cllft voted against postponement, and Coffin and Brinkman for it. It was springing the subject too suddenly upon the unsuspecting Democratic commissioners, and so Mayor Kolsein relieved tbem by voting with tbem for postponement. Of course the mayor and two police commissioners cannot sot themselves above the law, and Ignore its violation, and in the face of Judge Mack's recent order to tbe grand jury. The Rambler does not believe the matter will be passed by for fear that its agitation will injure tbe party prospects. A partisan police board might do that, but with aalrietly noupa»ti*an board of polioe commissioners, whose head* are far above turbulent level of politics, the laws of courao will be enforced. The mnn who would insinuate that politics euter into the control of the police force of Terr© Haute is evidently not aware that we have the •only genuine non-partisan, non-pollti-•eai police force (none geuuiuo without trademark blown in the glass) on earth.

Oid war-borse Manson is getting into «a frame of mind in which he will do Lamb considerable injury if Zollinger, of Fort Wayne, is appointed pension agent for the State, for which position'

Manson is also a applicant. It is said that Senator Voorhees is strongly inolined to give the place to Zollinger, and Manson says that it he doesn't get that place, or another equally as good, he will fix things up in Fountain and Montgomery counties so that Lamb will not get a delegate from these counties in the next congressional convention. One by one the difficulties are added to the load that the young statesman has on his shoulders, and it is little wonder that his raven black hair begins to show 'traces of silver, and that bo is looking old before his time.

THE suit of Jas. W. Watts against Paddock A Co., tbe millers, for damages has been on trial in the Circuit court this week. It will be remembered that some time ago Paddock fc Co. caused the arrest of Watts, charging him with embezzlement during some grain trans action. He was tried and found not guilty. He then brought suit for $10,000 damages, which was the case in court this week. It was hotly contested with Davis A Davis, McNutt fe McNutt and Hamill for tbe plaintiff, and Pierce, Harper, and John G. Williams for the defendants. The jury on Thursday evening said Mr. Watts was entitled to damages in tbe sum of $750, and motion for anew trial was entered.

AMATKUB sportsmen generally pay pretty dearly for all the game they capture, but two policemen of this city have had the banner experience. They went hunting, didn't kill a bird, in fact didn't fire a shot, and yet their hunt cost them |150. 'A hand car on which they were riding was smashed to pieces by a freight train and a couple of borrowed guns were ruined. The officers have mentally resolved to do no more hunting on Sunday.

THE Davis Family came up yesterday from Evansville, where they sang the evening previous to a crowded house, and tbe papers unite in enthusiastic praise of their singing. The reception of this noted family down there was cbsracterized by tbe most generous hos pitality. They were entertained by some of tbe first families, carriages were In waiting for tbem ac the depot, and in these they were shown about the city.

E. V. DEBS and wife returned from Philadelphia this morning. Mr. Debs was, of course, re-elected Grand Secretary and Treasurer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen. Mr. Arnold was defeated in the race for Grand Master by Frank Sargent, of Colorado. Mr. Stevens resigned tbe position of Grand Organizer and is succeeded by John J. Hannihan, of Chicago

TBE fire at the blast furnace which went out more than a year ago, will be set going again by Miss Rose Keiley, daughter of the fireman, and the hands to be employed will assemble at 6 o'clock, and observe appropriate cere monies, in accordance with a program already prepared. The works for the present will be run to their full capacity.

THE Decorative Art society reorganized this week for the season, electing for president, Mrs. Frances M. Haberly, for vlc3-president Miss Sue Ball and for secretary, Miss Carrie Gould. Mrs. John S. Judab, commissioner for Indiana, will be here next week to confer with the society in regard to sending an exhibit to the New Ot leans exposition.

AT the Congregational church, on Tuesday evening Oct. 18th, the Oratorio society will repeat Mozart's 12th Mass, followed by a choice program of solos, duets and choruses. A glance at the programme prepared gives assurance that one of those delightful evenings which we owe to the Oratorio society will again be ours.

A NUMRRR of our people took advantage of tbe half faro rates to visit Indianapolis this week, and atteud the State fair. Many will go to St. Louis next week, on aeoount of the cheap tickets, and witness the Veiled Prophets' parade. These will probably be the last excursion rates until the holidays.

THR old settlers' gathering at the fair grouuds noxt week promises to be a •ery big afiair. Ample preparations are being made to feed the multitude expected each day.

PATENTS were issued last week to J. A. Parker and R. Deuel, of this cityone for a stock car and the other for a fluid diapbragmeter, whatever that may bo.
