ON THE QUI VIVE.

The property owner* on Center street letween Swan and Oak are no doubt sincere In wishing that the counoil had raised tbequestion of an expert engineer before the grade was established for the *quare that to now in process of improvement. The street (Center) was laid out in such away that it drained from a natural summit about the middle of the square into catch basins on Oak and Swan streets. When the alley that run* from Seventh street to Center, between Oak and 8wan, was improved several years ago, its grade was established in conformity to the natural summit 1 When the plans were prepared for the present proposed improvement of Center street from Swan to'Oak, the natural summit aad the alley grade were not taken into -consideration by the city engineer. The street was out down so that it would drain clear from Swan street to Oak, although there is a catoh basin at the former street. As a result the property owners north of the alley mentioned will have to get balloons to reach their houses If they want to get into them from Center street. Besides this, shade trees will be ruined, and property owners will have to jut in brick walls on the property lines to keep their lots from being washed into the gutters when heavy rains come.

For these reasons, therefore, the property owners on Center street, when they bear the talk about an expert engineer being engaged! to prepare plaos for the belt sewer, doubtless feel that it would have been well to secure the services of an expert to prepare the plans for the improvement of their street. The city will hear from them, too, before the work Is completed, for some damage suits will probably be filed before that time arrives.

The owners of property abutting on the alley between Second and Third and I Crawford and Park streets are Just now

Indulging in a little kiok themselves. The alley ingestion, in being improved, gras out down to such an extent that jiome of tbe barns will have to have a .^fe^bolsting apparatus ereoted in order to get next Winter's coal put away. When

Isome of the property owners go out to their back gates and look down into the alley it makes them diszy, the ground seems so far away. There will probably be an Injunction in that Improvement, too, and that'll be nice, for the city loses *•.•11 such eases.

From the frequency with which te have been having incendiary fires it may be necessary te organize a vigilance •committee to ferret out the fire bugs. Fortunately their efforts have not yet succeeded In famishing a big fire, but they are liable to do so at any time. The other night when th^ Germanla hall was orowed with dadcers, at the firemen's pension fund dance, some one started afire under one of the stairways /leading to the hall, and had it not been discovered just in the nick of time a terrible calamity would have been recorded. If the man that did it could have been found he would probably have had* a taste of western vigilantes' methods. Some fine morning some body will fall to turn up for breakfast, and his friends will find his body so full of buckshot that a derrick will have to be used to raise him—and then the incendiary fires will cease. ________

It would surprise some of the people •bout town if they could see a list of the men that attend the "friendly bouts" of the Athletic club. Business men, professional men and others who would hardly be expected to take an interest in suoh exhibitions make up the greatest part of the attendance, and they seem to enjoy the sport furnished. At the fight the other night, "Dutah" Neill, who came here from St. Louis some time ago, knocked out a eolored man with a punoh "in the wind" that would have moved a stone wall. Nelll is said to be a handy man with bis fists, and those who know say he has a future as a fighter in his class. He is a short, chunky fellow, with a neck that looks like it could atand the blows of a battering ram.

The Beach trial Is set for next Tuesday at Rockvllle. Now that Mr. Lamb has returned from the Holy Land it is possible that Mr. Beasley will be callod to the teat of war iu Madagascar, thus necessitating another postponement of 5 the case.

Another pollcatnan has gone wrong, and has been suspended from the force for drinking. This time it is Sweeney, who got into trouble during the railroad strike last summer. Probably the new rule requiring patrolmen to report by telephone to headquarter# every hour led Sweeney to bard drink. Some of the districts have no telephones accessible at night, and the patrolmen have to go out of their districts, sometimes a block or two, to report, and this has to be done every hour.

"MURDER WILL OUT."

ttw* aten Arretted for a Crime Coa*u»ltted Her® Fit# Years A*©. •fihe truth of tbe old saying that "murder will out," was verified this week In the arrest of William Dlsbennet and Henry Seibert, former residents o# -this city, for the murder of ...tranger wl*»e WJJ. body was found in the alley just east of the Big Four depot on the morning of April 20th, 1890. Dlsbennet was arrested at Alexandria, Ind., and Seibert at Muncie. When the stranger was found the police made every effort to establish his identity, but without success, and although every due was followed up they wereunable to find any one that'Could reasonably be charged with the crime. The Seibert family lived at 619 north Fifth street, and Henry Seibert, who was then nineteen years old, told his father shortly after the murder that h6 saw Disbennett, who boarded with them, commit the crime, but they decided to say nothing about it. The family shortly after removed from here to GreenvHIe, O. The information his son had given him so .preyed on the mind of the old man that he was led to confide with a fellow workman, who in turn told an ex-sheriff of Greenville. Tbe latter wrote to the .police authorities here, who at oace set to work to find out the whereabouts of Dlsbennet and Seibert, who claimed to have witnessed the murder. Detective Dwyer, Captains Pierce and Hyland and Prosecutor Huston have been working on the case some time,,and as a result the men were arrested, as above stated, by Capt. Hyland on Thursday and brought here. Dlsbennet since leaving here has served a term in the Michigan City penitentiary for stealing ohinkens, having been sent up irom Muncie. He claims to be innocent pf! the charge and says he can prove that Be did not come hero until August, 1890, several months after the mur ler was committed. He does not charg« S»ib«rt with the orime, but thinks th» latter must have some motive in souring it on to him. Both mea are described aa tough looking characters, who, from their appearanee, would not hesitate to perpetrate the orime with which they are charged. I

OBITUARY.

The many friends of Frank Shewmaker, manager of the New Pittsburg Coal Co., were inexpressibly shocked yesterday afternoon by the' announce ment that he bad died suddenly at his home on south Thirteenth street.' No young man in Terre Haute had more sincere friends, and not many of them were aware that, he was seriously sick. He had been ailing for a long time, but he was able to be about and attend to business until within a few days. The deoeaaed was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. 4&e>8hewmaker, and had spent the •greatest portion of bis life"in this city, having' been born in Indianapolis, ifeb/uary 16, 1868. For several years past he had been manager of the local branch of the New Pittsburg Coal Co., and by a strict attention to its business he had made himself popular with the higher officials of that company. He was married in February, 1803 to Miss Ida Gerbardt, sister of Louis Gerhardt, who with one son survives him. The little one was named Paul Revere, in honor of the E. P. lodge of that name, in the organization of which Mr. Shewmaker had Jbeen largely instrumental. In addition to theK. P. he was a member of the Masona, Essenes, and Red men, and waa prominently identified with the Prinoes of the Orient.

TQESIDSNZS ANDFLTMONQ DRINKI "Ev$n if the story were true that President Cleveland oooaalonally Indulges in strong drink," aaya the oldest {correspondent in Waahington, "he would be by no means the first man in the White House given to such indulgences. It is a well-known faot that President Arthur gave many wine suppers In the White House to his personal friends, and that aome of them were exceeding hilarioue. President Garfield waa not a total abstainer, and neither waa President Hayes. It haa never been denied that General Grant had a fondness for strong drink, and during the war President Lincoln expressed the belief that it would be a good thing to have all of his generals drink the same kind of liquor that Grant drank. I was here when Abraham Lincoln was elected, but shortly before President Buchanan

John F. Campion Is the fortunate owner of the "Little Johnny" Mine, of Leadville, Col., whioh ia aaid to have the largest gold output of any In the world, and nets him about *300,000 a year

It la rather diaoount upon the prohibition argument that 50 per cent, or crime ia caused by intemperance to find in tbe statistics of the United States for 1891 that out of 9,600 murderers in tbe country only 0 per cent., were Attributed to drink.

Frank Howard Poor, a oonvict in tbe itate reformatory at Conoord, N. H., has fallen heir to about fl6,000,000 by tbe death of bis uncle, Frank Howard, a Nevada mine oWner, for whom Poor waa named. The young man 1b at present serving a term for forgery.

New York has anew law making military instruction in the publio schools compulsory. The result is that the school houses are ao badly overrun with agents for clothing firms that the muchsuffering school officials have been foroed to post notices to warn them away.

An armchair owned by the Shah .of Persia is made of solid gold, inlaid with precious stones. A year or two ago some of tbe stones were stolen front one of tbe legs, and the thief was beheaded and bis head oarried on a pole by the imperial body guard through the streets of Teheran.

Rev. William H. Mllburn, the blind chaplain of the senate, has been praying our statesmen for more than a gener atlon. He is a slight man of medium height, with beard and hair of iron gray. Without you were olose to him you would never suppose blm to be blind. Parson Mllburn was chaplain of the House nearly fifty years ago. He was first appointed away back In the days of President Polk.

The governor of Pennsylvania has been petitioned to pardon Daniel Werling, who murdered his wife in Pittsburg, last April. The ground of the petition is deoidedly unique. Werling took two courses of the Eeeley oure inside of six months before committing the murder and it is claimed that the atropia and Btryohinine whioh the oure contains drove him insane.. The best insanity experts in the state bear out the Statement.

At a prayer meeting in a small town near Syracuse reoently, an Illiterate but good man made the following prayer: "O Lord, Tbou knowest that we are thankful to Thee that our sonls are safe from the fire that quencheth not. If a man loses his horse, Thou knowest that he can buy another if he lose bis house, Thou knowest that he can build another if he lose his wife, Thou knowest that he can get another but if he lose his soul—good-bye, John."

New York society is In a perfect flutter of exoitement over the rumor that Mrs. Alva Vanderbllt, the very recently divoroed wife of W. K. Vanderbllt, is about to marry Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont. They are both now in Paris, located, however, at different hotels. This certainly would be quick jumping from one husband to another with vengeance. Mr. Belmont's attentions to Mrs. Vanderbllt are said to have been pronounoed for some time, and It is more than likely that the rumor has a material basis.

You can sell almost anything if you only know how. A young Englishman in Boston, anxious to increase a somewhat narrow income, left word at several teachers' agencies that he would undertake to teach the true English accent to Boetoniana ambitious of bettering their speech. Heactually obtained two pupils. One of them, a grave, middle-aged man, quit his studies after two lessons because of a disagreement with the teacher. The other, a young girl who was deeply anxious that her parents should not know of her new line of study, wss for some time a source of profit to the teaoher.
