ON THE QUI VIVE. $

The Honorable Joshua Jump is collector of internal revenue in this district, but his duties are not so pressing ffcut that he can find time to practice law in our looai courts and those of adjoining counties. He is one of the attorneys in the Beach case, and in his speech in the application tot change of venue, he my took occasion to allude sneeringly to the JI Express and Mail (without naming them, however) for having published the news about the case in which he was

jfflnterested. Perhaps the rules ot the department with which he is connected do "not forbid a revenue collector from enIr gaging in other business, but he is siml^"*!'ply a servant of the people, and as a mattier of common docency he ought to attend to his own business.

The Beach case has become a public question here in Terre Haute by the attitude of interested parties and the affidavits and counter affidavits that have

been made, and its trial in court means more than that of an ordinary case. Judge Jump, by taking the part he has in the case, makes himself offensive to the great majority of the people of this JjUcity, which he has no right to do, unless in the discharge of the duties of his position.

Sant Davis was an interested spectator of the proceedings in the Beach case Thursday, and had his roasting clothes Ion. He is an illustrious past master in the art of roasting, and when he puts yihis roasting clothes on he usually has something cutting to say. Coming down the elevator after court had adjourned he^ remarked to Judge Jump, "Judge, I'll bedoggoned (he didn't say doggoned, however) if ever I heard a man make such a strong talk to get justice when all the time he's afraid he will get justice!" Like Riley's character, the Judge "didn't have nuthin' to say."

A poor chicken thief was sentenced to ^the penitentiary for a year this week. Fortunately for him he was given the sentence the same day he was arrested, ^nd before the newspapers had a chance to "prejudice the public mind" by printing the facts about his case!

|f' That's a funny case that has just been j|| decided by the Supreme Court on an apftpeal from Judge Taylor's court. It is fe. that of the colored man, Stewart, who ifehas only a few days to serve to complete Pi his three months for which the judge sent him to jail for contempt. Now the higher court says the judge bad no right to send him to jail, or rather reversed the decision of the lower court, and now Mr. Stewart i» looking around for those eighty or eighty-five days of 1 liberty to which he is entitled. He hasn't got them, the sheriff hasn't got them, the judge oan't restore them to him, and he is at his wits' ends 10 know fhow he is going to get even for those Siweary days spent behind the bars when he should have been breathing the air of freedom. Any one able to solve this problem will be entitled to a reward.

S The Harrison Telephone Co. are makPling an active canvass among Terre Haute business men in the effort to secure subscribers to their telephone system, and so far as heard from have met •fa with great success. It is the intention to charge |2.50 a month for telephones |tin business nouses, and $1.50 for private feiiouses. They guarantee to furnish their I. service for a period of five years from I July 1st, 1895, providing 600 subscribers are secured, and guarantee further that the rates will never exceed the prices 0 named. It was reported on the streets that the Central Telephone Co., perflating the local exchange, bad made a cut in their rates to meet those offered by the new company, but an inquiry of

Mr. Dunseth, the local manager of the old company, disclosed the fact that no such redaction had been made. The JaHarrlson company have had the merits of their telephone demonstrated by practical experience, and if they succeed In securing the needed 500 subscribers they will make things warm for the old company. By the way, the president of the .Harrison company is Stephen B. Elkins, the newly-eleoted

Senator from West

Virginia. Mr. Noack, the Chicago fire hose man Who attempted to bribe Fire Chief Jones Into using his influence to farther the sale of hose, sent a letter to the oouncil I Tuesday night that sets him down as an ass, a plain, simple ass, and nothing more. The "office boy", he says, sent the letter which he had written and Intended to destroy, and he is not to be held responsible lor the doings of the offloe boy. It must be a well-conducted business where the office boy attends to 'the correspondence. Mr. Noack has probably sold the last fire hose to the city of Terre Baute that he will have a chance to sell, while the present oouncil is in control, at least. ..

The day Prof. Albert Wyeth left for New York he paid a bill at a well-known Main street business establishment of nearly one hundred dollars for candy and perfumes. It is said that a prominent business man who has the money tO^I .Qp what he says offered to give

Sir Roger Tichborne has been discovered again in Australia. This time he is a lunatic, named William Creswell, in the asylum at Paramatta.

Delaware is stirred just now by a movement looking toward the suppression of the trade in strong drink. An ingenious man has discovered that the 269 saloons of Wilmington must take in over the bar more than $180,000 annually to cover rent and license taxes before they can begin to make profits, which gam is more than treble what the state expeuds annually for the salaries of judges, the state audfc*\ the state treasurer, the attorney genei the superintendent of public scho&») the state deteotives, and for the support of the insane asylum. Of course some folks will say that while the people of Wilmington may be moderate drinkers, Delaware has an amazingly oheap government.

OilY LIQ TJOR LICENSES.

The saloon keepers are not 'coming up with their money for city liquor licenses like they ought to, as shown by the record in the city treasurer's office of those who have paid for the six months beginning January 15th, which is the time for the payment of the second installment of city license. Yesterday the record was as follows: G. Nioolai, Mauhart Bros., Theo. Wolf, August Wegener, Reese Bros., L. L. Davidson, Ernest Meissel, Albert Seiffert, Watson & Heinley, Chas. Haarbaus, Fred Kiokler, Herman From me, Peter N. Staff, Arthur JPfiagln, Lawrenoe Staff, Conrath IBros^l^ecl Sebold, A. Monnlnger, M. S. Rector, E. Coordes, Tim Conway, Gertrude Hey den, Wm.

The police department has been rather lax in filing complaints against those who" have not complied with the law, and'it is said to be a fact that one saloonkeeper, notably, the business quarter, has been selling for three months without going through the formality of taking out a olty license in accordance with tbe law. Those saloon keepers who have complied with the law are rather sore at the knowledge that one man Is permit ted to sell without a license when they have paid due attention to the law.

OBITUARY.

JUDGE BASK1N E. RHOADS.

Judge Ba*kln E. Rhoad*, one of the most eminent members of tbe Terre Haute bar, died very suddenly last Tuesday evening at his residence on south Fourth street, from valvular disease of the heart, from which he had long been a sufferer. He had been at his office during tbe forenoon, but not feeling well went home where he spent the afternoon reading. It was about halfpast seven when his daughter heard him coughing, and when she went to him she found him bleeding from the nose and month, and although medical assistance was summoned at once nothing oould be don$ to bring him relief, and be died in a few moments.

The deceased was born in Philadelphia May 1, 1834, and since 1839 bad been a resident of this state. He obtained his early education in commou schools, later was a student at Wabash college, and afterwards graduated from Harvard. He was admitted to the bar in 1862, and began the practice of bis profession in Vermillion county. He remained there until 1809, when-ho accepted the professorship of law in the State University at Bloomington. In 1877 he resigned this position, and spent a year travelling in Europe, and upon bis return from abroad became.apresident of. this city, where he has since lived. He was elected a mem ber of the Indiana legislature while living in Vermillion county, and when the Superior court was created in this county he was the first judge, by appointment. While a member of the legislature he was largely instrumental in securing the location of the State Normal School in this city. He was a member of the board of trudtdefi of Coates College, and to bis personal efforts in its behalf much of the snccess of that institution iup

Judge Rhoads was married in 1874 tu to Mias Ida Moffatt, of Perr/sville, who, with two ohiidren, Sarah, aged eighteen, and Daniel, aged fifteen, survive him.

Judge Rhoads was a man of the most upright character, and was held in the

La is a highest esteem by the members of the he came He was one of the best read

in contact. men in the city, and was prominent in membership of the Terre Haute Literary Club, where his papers commanded the closest attention* He was a member of the Washington Avenue Presbyterian church, and had contributed liberally of his time and means toward the establishment of that institution.

The.members of the local bar met in the Circuit court room on Wednesday and appointed a committee to prepare resolutions of respect to the memory of their late associate. Judgo D. N. Taylor, Hon. Wm. Mack, Judge Jump and Sidney B. Davis were appointed to deliver addresses at a meeting at the bar assoolatiou in the near future to take appro priate aotion on the death of Judge Rhoads.

The funeral servloes were held yesterday morning at the family residenoe on south Fourth street, and were conducted by Revs. J. Mason Duncan and A. J. Alexander. The following were the aotive pall bearers seleoted by the bar committee of arrangements: S. C. Stimson, J. G. McNutt, E. F. Williams, D. N. Taylor, D. W. Henry, A. M. Higgins, A. H. Donham and J. T.

JOSEPH H. BLAKE.

Joseph H. Blake, than whom there was no more genial companion or more faithful friend, died at 2 o'clock Friday morning, at bis winter residenoe at 663 Eagle street, after a long illness. He fought long and earnestly against the diseat"*, dropsy, that had caused his fathers death at an early age, but was finally compelled to succumb to its attacks. He was unconscious for several days before death oame and a number of times his death was reported, to cause regret to the friends whose numbers were legion.

The deceased was a native of Maryland, and was born at Frederick, November 23, 1834. He oame to this county with his parents when a mere infant, and with the Interval of a few years spent In Kansas, had been a resident continuously since then. In the years immediately preceding the war he was oity clerk, and his accurate methods ahd careful penmanship are stlll^n evidence in the records of the city that have escaped the ravages of fire. He filled the offloe so satisfactorily as to win for himself an election to the more important office of county clerk, which he •iled with credit to himself and to the oommunity early In the 60's. The knowledge of legal forms gathered in this office led him to tbe study of law when he had finished its duties, and since his retirement from that offloe he has been numbered among the most prominent members of the legal profession. He served with credit as a member of the board of county com missionem, and there, as in every relation of life, he made his mark as a man who had the best interests of the oommunity at heart.

Those who knew him well were best

Twenty-fifth Year

able to appreciate his many kindly qualities, his devotion to the interestsof his friends, and his unselfish efforts to advance their cause. A kindly heart beat within bis bosom, and there was never an appeal made to him in the cause of charity that did not meet with an immediate response in a most substantial way. Early in life tbe death of bis father threw him on his own resources, and right well did he fulfill hie duties as a son and brother.

Deceased was married in 1869 to Miss Mary Gilbert, a daughter of tbe late Curtis Gilbert, who with one daughter, Helen, survives him. A son, Joseph, died in 1885, aged fifteen years.

HORACE W. HIBBABD.

The death of Horace W. Hibbard, general freight agent of the Vandalla, was a personal loss to everyone at headquarters. He was tbe oldest general officer of the road in point of service. It was only a few days ago that be was heie on his way to St. Louis after a visit to his mother in Vermont. She is 86 years of age and in talking with Mr. Farrington about the visit he said, with oonslderable feeling, that he supposed it would I. be tbe la^t time he would ever see his mother alive^ his thought being tbat she would, in all probability, die before he could again visit her. It is said of Mr. Hibbard that he had mora, personal friends among freight agents than any general freight agent in the country. This was due to tbe fact that be dealt fairly with all competitors. His heart "was in the right place" and if in the struggle to secure business he found that he was crowding a qomjpetUor too hard, be refrained from doing things many others would do.
