round about town.

"The curfew tolls the knell of departing day, The lowing herd winds slowly o'er

the

lea,'

The ttsh'mao homeward plods his lazy way To tell hl» whopping lie* to yon and me.

Oue doesn't-have to walk far around town now without becoming thoroughly impressed with the fact that the building boom for the season of 1893 is under full swing. As has been the cane for a number of years moat of the buildings now under way are to be found in the eastern and northern portions of the -ity, although the

expensive struc

tures are confined principally to the older portions. The building permits t-tkon out this year since January 1st have been as follows: an a 8 4 1 5 0 February 2 March 23 April .122 W.250

a 1 5 2 8 9 8 6 7 0 Those taken out during the same time in 1802 were: January 2 permits February .6 March 37 April .23 Wfllo Total 81tH,540

The permits issued in April last year included the Hulman block, 97,000 liindley block addition, $5,000, and the Bader block on Ninth and Chestnut Htreets, 80,000, while those issued last month were all, or nearly all, for dwellings, The number taken out in April of tills year exceeds that of any previous month in the history of the city, and at the same time does not represent half the buildings now in course of construction nor half their value. Very few costly buildings are going up this year in this locality. Most of them range from $800 to 81,500 and a few will reach from «2,000 to $4,000, and most of them are being supplied with all the modern improvements. Building material is becoming more scarce every year, and as a matter of course house building is becoming more expensive each year. Ten years ago there was an abundance of Indiana lumber, which is hardly obtainable now, anfl thus far this season the brick yards have been unable to supply the demand. The improvements in building material are not numerous, but builders are taking up the best that are boing He rod. Among those Improvements might bo mentioned a self-spacing lath, electrio lights and bells and hot and cold water systems. JLast year tho number of new iiousas

added to thej&wn

And, strango as it may seem, there is au occupant ronily for oveiy dwelling just A9 soon an It is completed, and there is general complaint of a scarcity of live and six room houses throughout tho «lty—in fact It Is next to impossible to rent a house anywhere. Nor are thore any vacant business houses everybody seems to be doing woll and tho city is prospering a* it has never prospered before.

Lust night the delegates of Post G., Travelers' Protective Association, of this city, left for Fort Wayne to attend tho Annual state convention of the order, taking a special train over the Logannport division of the Vatulalia. Thov were its follow*:

The patrol wagon made 230 runs during the month,7 being to remove sick persons, 1 to remove an injured person, 1 to remove a dead body, ahd 221 for prisoners. The reports made by patrolmen at roll call show 35 cases of contagious and infectious diseases, 9 cases of destitution, 5 children found and restored to their parents, 2deaths by accident, 1 person injured by accident, 15 persons sent to the Friendly Inn, 1 person sent to the penitentiary, 7 persons sent to the hospital, 5 persons furnished transportation, and 1823 electric lights out. The value of property reported stolen was §179.00 of which 51 was recovered. The expense of the department was §2568.83, which included §150 for anew horse.

The resignation of Rev. Martin W. Buck, assistant pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, last Sunday, was succeeded by all sorts of sensational rumors concerning the alleged contemplated resignation of Rev. L. Kirtley, pastor of the church, to morrow or at

other time in the near future. Last Hundaj night W. C. Bontin was pulled out of bed in tho wild search after information, and J. Q- Button had a similar visitation. Rumors were put in circulation that the pa*torar.d the board of trustees were at outs that a stand recently taken by him against danelng had mado him unpopular with the younger members of the fl tli«*t ha is opposed to Sunday funerals, and severs! other things too numerous too mention, including an avowed opposition to tho authority assumed at funerals by secret societies. A gentleman who has been connected with ,the church all his life, and in an official capacity for many years, denies every rumor which has been set afloat. It is said that a short time ago Mr. Kirtley made the remark that he had been with the church six years, as long as he had ever been In one place, and from this all the stories startod.

A letter announcing another postponement of the civil service examination for positions in the postal service, which was to have been held here next Saturday, has been received. This is the second time the examination has been put off, the reason assigned being that there are no funds available, with which to defray the expense. It appears that the appropriation for olvil service examinations has run short, an^as the fiscal yoar will not commence until Jul}' 1st there will be no civil service money on hand uutll that time, consequently no examinations can bo held until the new appropriation can be reached. In tho meantime tho effort to have the civil gervieo rules abolished as to this particular office goes on, and as a new postmaster of tho Democratic faith will soon bo in it is safe to presume there will bo a change all around and civil service rules for the time being will be forgotten.

Tho Rod Men of this city are making great preparations for the celebration of Tammany Day next Friday, and it promises to be tho largest and most successful demonstration by the order in the state. Delegates have canvassed all tho surrondlng towns in Indiana and Illinois and largo delegations will be here from all of thom, nearly a thousand being expected Trom Indianapolis alone. The four lodges of this city now have a membership about 700. In tho country there 31 great councils, 1442 tribes, and 231 councils of thodogreeof Pocahontas. Tho Red Men have a membership of 122,314, aud the Pocahontas degree lti.813, making total 130,127, Sinee its organization in 1834 the order has disbursed §12,000,000 in benefits, It has become one one of the leading orders of America and its membership is steadily increasing.

The board of health put two mftre sanitary officers to work this week, making fir© in all now on the fore®, and they are all needed. Since tho rise of tho river somoof the garbage men have been hauling their filth and dumping it almost within the city limit*, on some low spot where It can do most harm. Several of them were prosecuted this week, and two of them were lined. The city just now needs agarbage crematory very much, and money invested In ooe would pay, A Pittsburg firm offers to put one in, with'a capacity to consume on© hundred tons per .day* for $3,000, exelusivo of the building, which would be plenty large enough for this town. Something of this kind is much needed, and the matter ahouSd bo agitated until the council taken action favorable to the movement.

A patent on "street vending cabinet1 has been issued to Edgar Miller* of this city.
