"NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS ON MATTERS AROUND TOWN. 4 "f
Poor old Evansville! That dead duck town which is noted principally for being located on the Ohio river (which can't get away), is the southern terminus of the E. fc T. H. R. R.—the town where -daily newspapers owning the Associated Press franchise receive their telegraph news by freight in preference to paying jfor it by wire—the poor old thing has leen deprived of the little prestige she Valued over Terre Haute a few months y^igo. The printing of the Locomotive
Firemen's Magazine which was given to an Evansville firm the first of the year because they bid lower than Moore fc ^.Langen, who had been printing it, has •been brought back to that firm by the
Brotherhood officers, who wanted good work and wanted it promptly. The officers do not say much, but it is understood that when Grand Master Sargent went south last month in the interests of th® order be failed to find ft-single lodge in all those he visited that had received a magazine since the change was made. On his return he and the Grand Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. Debs, decided that another change was necessary and gave the work to the former printers. It is a big advertisement for them as* well as for Terre Haute, and will please those who like to witness the prosperity of every one of Terre Haute's institutions. This addition to Moore fc Langen's establishment (they had already bought the Express office) will require the addition of a third story to their building, and Printing House Square will more and more assume metropolitan airs. But poor Evansville! to think of her miserable attempt to fight Torre Haute in business enterprise!
The enterprising citizens of the southeastern part of the city are agitating the question of a street railway in thoir district. What they want is to have a branch line constructed from the Main Htreet line down Seventh street to Poplar and thonce oast to Fourteenth. Such a line it would seem ought to pay, as the Inhabitants there as' oflass enjoy the benefits of higher wa^V^an any other part of the city whel -'ar line •could be located. Theyvddw.v afford to rido, and would do so. The stitot railway company has been fortunate in itnaklng timely and profitable extensions (and an extention to the Sixth ward jught to be fortunate as the rest.
"Do you jknow," said a promtfiettt' business matt ono day this week, "that the businds outlook for the coming year is more promising than' it has been for five years past. On evetjy hand you oan hear nothing but enoouraging talk of the revival of business, lind thorough preparations are being made for a big year's business." This talk I have heard from a number of business men, and the feeling seems to be in the air. It will ,-affect the building and manufacturing I interests as well, and persons concerned in these branchos of trade feel equally oonfideut of the outlook. The nail works, rolling mill, car works, and other aimllar Institutions have plenty of work on hand. Tho completion of the government building and court house will give •employment to a large^Muber of men this summer, and many^fcr buildings of less magnitude are contemplated.
Altogether one Is justified In prophesying for Torre Haute a year of prosperity such as she has not enjoyed for some tlrno. It is cause for congratulation by every citison of Torre Haute who is interested in our prosperity—and who is not? _____
That Is a very sensible suggestion by a correspondent in one of the dailies that some responsible person should take hold of the matter of soliciting subscriptions for tho building of the Southwestern railroad in order to get the project on its feet. That is tho only way in which it can bo done, and is, besides, tho best way. Newspaper talk does a great deal toward originating and developing sentiment in favor of it, but there must be somo influential and responsible person to take advantage of this sentiment jand secure aid for the enterprise. If *uch a person is secured he will find it -easy work to secure tho necessary amount of subscriptions to organize a company—so strong is the feetlng among our buainoa* men and capitalists in favor of th© road, and added to this the knowledge that the anticipated revival of business will make it ar success from tho start. _____________
The suit of Mr. Henry Deming, administrator of the estate of his brother, Arthur Homing, against the /Etna life insurance company for $10,000, the amount of the policy carried by the deceased, has been on trial all week at 1 reencastle. The company took a change of venue from this county to Clay county and tho platntiffc transferred the case from that to Putnam county. Th® arguments were to be heard to-day and the caae go to the jury to-night.
Tho Gwcette says the reports that the distillery will not be rebuilt are nonsense also the report that when rebuilt it will be built at Ellsworth. It is not likely the distillery will be making whiskey before October 1st, because it will take all summer to rebuild, but operations will commence very shortly.
I/e Grose, of Riley township, who accomplished the ruin of Itosa Lee, under promise of marriage, and afterwards married another girl was tried in the circuit court yesterday, and the jury said he mutt be confined in the county jail for tiv# months.,

The fact was demonstrated last Tues day, for tho first time the history of this city, that women aro not the superior of men even in running a church social. It was a novel idea, and the men who conducted the affair at the Congregational church covered themselves all over with glory. There was a very large attendance, the enjoyment was unbounded, and in every way the social was a success. _____________

The left hand has a jack, ace and nine of clubs, and ace and ten of spades the right, the jack of spades, the king, queen and ton of clubs, and the ace of diamonds. JThese represent two euohre hands,trumps. The probferi ^vVb^v1 wins?" How manYdur players can tell with en ttV
The negotiations to bring Edwin Booth hero have at last culminated in th® fact that to get him tickets of admission wotila have to be placed as high as five dollars. We believe that The Mail voltes the sentiment of this community tA XfannffAi* "Vavlnr lot him K^sayi
saying to Manager Naylor let him He Is to receive a certainty of $2,come to Indianapolis on the 5th of May, aiftLManager Dickson will arrange that any x»t our people desiring to go over can get good seats on that occasion. Terre Haute can find better use for that amount of money.

A better Auditor never served Vigo county than Andrew Grimes who retires from that office next Monday after an honorable service of eight years. Frank Armstrong steps into his place and the people of this county will not rogret the overwhelming majority they gave him at the last election.

Mr. Armstrong's deputies will be George Seaman and John I). Bell, two of as competent men as can be found In the state. Mr. Seaman Is at present one ®f the deputies in the office,
