Hie metropolitan police bill will tiecosne a law with bat little mora delay. Governor Hovey will either sign the measure or allow It to become engraven on the statute books of the state without his signature. Tbe governor's veto of the bill would only cause delay of a few days with the inevitable passage of the bill over the veto by the same ma* jority in tile legislature that at fintt faetettsri It. upon the community &&•*. ihani siwm of

ei^^ahlch iias, from

|b« first, fathered Uiislpqai^oos outran snd lobbied it throagK'lbe kgfalature in the face of the outspoken opposition of th# people, will have tbe satisfaction of reorganising the police force of tbe city and operating that important branch of the publk service for their own exclusive benefit.

It has for several days been known that the projectors of the metropolitan police bill—the gang who have moulded the outrage into form—are in a muddled aad mixed cendition are, so to speak, in a position very much similar to that of the "three wise mend Gotham," who "went to sea in a bowl,"—they are casting about for a suitable individual who will fill the superintendency of police to tbeir perfect satisfaction—some gentleman who entertains and will be governed by very lax ideas regarding the enforcement of the 11 o'clock and Sunday closing law and who will see that tbe police force does not interfere with those little games of robbery which have given Terre Hante the reputation of being the best and most profitable gambling point in tbe west

The coming hoard of police com mis siooers will, without douot, be Jacob G. Kolsom, John B. Walsh and Jacob D. Early. This has been generally settled upon as a matter of fact. The question of just their man for the position of superintendent of police, however, falls far short of having been settled and as a matter of fact, the gang even to-day, is in a purturbed state of minL Con Meagher has been getting in fair work ijr the place, but the gang while having every confidence in Mr. Meagher's ''wide open" ideas are said to be desirous of putting iu a man of wider police experience.

Charley Lamb was asked to take the place but Charley refused absolutely, and very sensibly ridiculed the idea of his giving up a life .position in which he draws a salary of $4 per diem, for a job that ^ould

Eay

him a third less money and come to im fraught with all its weight of burdensome rsspansibilfty, at cuwmmakinKihim a target for the bitterest public criticism. So the gang dropped Charley and Sam Hyb&rgercame smilingly to the front with a "Barkis-is-willing" disposition only too apparent Sam is a man after the gang's own heart but tbey consulted and finally decided thathe was too heavy a load to carry, so That gentleman will not be superintendent of police.

After much secret talk aud many starchamber consultations, it was finally decided to approacL Lou Seeburar, ex duputy sheriff, and offer tbe position to him. This was done. Mr, Seaburger was long connected with the sheriff's office and hss had much practical experience In tha apprehension of criminals, etc. He has always been a good oitisen and is|a man of firatclass business tact. So the metropolitan police crowd supposing that in all other respects Louis was "one of em," through a leading representative approached the gentleman with the invi* tation to acceptjtne police bead. Mr. See* burger was seen by a Nxws reporter today and this is what was said "How about your being that dark home for superintendent of police, Louier ••Well, I donU know about that/* "Have yon been asked to accept the superintendency of police under the new metropolitan police law for this cicy?" "Yes, was approached in regard to tbe matter." "What waa your answer'?'* ..... "Well, I'll tell you. I was asked if I would accept the position if it was offered me and was given te understand that I could get it under certain condition*. I said this In reply: I will take tbe place

but under no restriction#. I am made superintendent must take a solemn oath to enT&rce the tews of the state of ludiana aud I will fulfill the requirements under that oath to the letter, not a gambling den shall run in this city not a saloon shall keep open after 11 o'clock at night or seU a a drop of liquor oa Sunday. I will enforce th* law from top tp bottom. This was all then was said." "Did you receive a second visit from xJhicswp parties?"" "J?©, sir, this was the last of it I'll not be superintendent They don't want a man who will enforce the law. Tbey are afraid of such men."

THIS MORNING'S FIR&

Tfe«Cfcem*oatCnalne«etstn Its Work in o?eot Wtyo. Thia morning the roof of John L. Humaston's residence, comer of First and Vandalia. caught fire from a looomotive mark and an alarm wac tamed in from box 12 at the One's hose boos*. The department responded promptly and the One's company turned .on water within a very few minutes from the time they were notified but very properly shot off their stream when the chemical engine wheeled into position, the latter apparatus making extraordinary time to the fire. As quickly as possible a hole was cut into the roof and Foreman Burke carried the chemical line in between tbe joists and rafters where the fire had spread to almost every inch of suiface making a esse as difficult to contend with as the famous Dr. Spain fire on north Seventh street, where tbe chemical first made its reputation as afire killer and property paver, two tanks of the engine the fire

confined to the spaces of shingling and sheathing burned through. As it was the water seeped down into the house and more or lees damage to personal effects resulted.

In this connection THK NKWS while wishing it to be understood that it has no fault to find with Chief Jones' management of the department—which on the whole has been praise-worthy, and highly meritorious—would suggest thai the value ,pf the chemical engine as,/• an effective extinguisher of fire has been practically shown, beyond all disouasionor doubt by its splendid work at more than seventy fires, that it not only literally kills out and stops the spreading of flame, but iu the most complete and effective manner prevents the unnecessary damage and ruination of perso&al property by floods of water, which losses, in most instances in thircity, have fallen upon poor men, who have secured their furniture and household comforts and articles of decoration through the frugal saving of hardearned wages. As a matter of fact, which experience has proven, the chemical engine should go out on the alarm of every box within anything but an unreasonably long distance from its house.

Its weight, of course, precludes its being pulled for extremely long distances into the outskirts, but it should not be withheld from active duty at every fire, which has not gained too much headway in tbe interior districts of the city. Extra charges of the sodium and vitrol should be carried and the chemical en-

gine be kept at work it is seen to be doing ply this for the reaso: Ions of the comoonn needed will do bette times that amount tearing streams from plug, and with no to perishable property under proper restrictions the right of way to every fire

At Third and Darning streets the electric street cars daily dischargee large number of passengers, especially in the evening. In wet weather the street at this point is mtrey and the gutters deep and impassable from water and slush. For along time a cry has gone up from the residents in the neighborhood forat least a single stone crossing at this point and much and loud complaint has been forthcoming that this necessity has not been supplied. If Councilman Thomas wishes to do a real meritorious thing for many of bis constituents he could not do better than to secure a crossing at Third and Doming as is earnestly desired.

At the meeting of the council on next Tuesday night a resolution will /be introduced to appoint a copmittee of the council to act jointly with a committee of representative citizens who shall also be designated by that body to investigate t|e various kinds of street pavements anjtl report to the council at its next regulk meeting on the result of their researches. It is highly probable that the cdunciL-will then pass an ordinance retiring the paving of Main street and the ordinance carries, bids will be ad^fertised for at once iu order that the proposed pavement can begin as early as possible. It is said that nearly every property owner ou Main street is now in favor of paving and that nearly all, if not all oi the property owners who opposed paving the street whan the question came up before, will now favor it Such representative business men and property owners as W. R. McKeen, Elisha Havens, Robert Geddes, Join Cook, Jacob Baur and othera will be appointed on the committee by the council to look into the matter and decide what kind of pavement is most desirable and will be the most economical. It is to.be hoped that the paving of Main street $ilI not be longer delayed

BOYS ANDJUNK QEAL6FT8.

Tbe Attention ot the Courts Occupied bjr tbemToMlny. This morning the two Densmore boys, Burt and Newton, together with George Hoarsley, were up before Judge Taylor again, chafged this time with stealing copper and brass from the distillery ana selling it to George Dodson, the junk dealer. The boys persisted that they

or brass in tse aitcti to tntf distillery while hunting for a rabbit Henry Miller, the coppersmith at the distillery, and Mr. Barnum, the engineer, were present as witnesses, but neither could positively state that the boys in the court room bad not gotten possession of the metal in the manner claimed. D. W. Anderson an employe of George Dodeon's was closely cross questioned and roughly upbraided for not having been more careful in buying the suspicious metai from the boys. At the time when Officer James Pieree first approached him concerning the purchase of the ttuff, he knew nothing, but when Pierce learned that he bad sold the junk to J. R. Duncan, Mr. Anderson suddenly became enlightened on the subject George Dodson was also examined. When the boys were put on the rack Dave Henry took up their fight for them and it was he who made life so miserable for the junk men. When court adjourned at noon the prospects were bright for the clearing of the bojra for the reason that there is lack of positive proof of their gniit

Later in the day the boys said that they had taken soldering lamps from the building through a broken window and had then battered them up and sold them to Dodson. The Dinsmore boy will be sentenced ta Plainfield perhaps to-morrow, but the Hoarsly boy has been paroled.

MORE REP TAPE.

Another Mew Wrinkle In The Mandling or Prisoner*. The very latest wrinkle in the official red tape, is the swearing prisoners out of jail. The officiate seem to have quite recently discovered that no one has aright to release a prisoner from jail except the one who committed hint* For instance, if Mayor Danadlson finea a prisoner for droDkenesR, vagrancy, or any other petit misdemeanor, no one has a right to release him but tbe mayor. The siheriff is ooweriflsn, as is also the chief of police and ill ot his office *. This holds good when the

When a man haslaid bis twelve days out iu pnniahment for a «pr?e be most.be brought tap into police court again at the end of that time aim take oath that he has not the money sufficient to pay the fine assessed him. A man and a woman were up in police court this morning to be sworn oat, but because of tbe absence of his honor they bad to be returned to jail until the time should come when they would be able to appear before the man who fined and committed them.

The committee, after a brief wait, waa banded copies of the eqnaiitation of operative practices, whose interest is to make uniform train service on all divisions, so far as such is consistent The document states in brief that hereafter flnee will be discontinued, and damage to company's property, etc., will be followed by suspension or discharge callers will be provided for tbe men men who are called for duty and their trains are annulled, two hours will be allowed at over time rates. If called and notified of the annullment of the train before reaching the yard or engine house, no time will be allowed. In making light and follows: Light engine and eabooee, full through freight time. Light engine or caboose attached to freistht train, full through freight time, and the deadhead crew will be expected to assist in the work: Deadheading on passenger trains, one-half their regular trip rates. As far as practicable, trial enginemen will prepare engines for road service when it is necessary for road men to try engine, thev will b* paid over time rates for the actual time employed. As a general practice, it is not deemed advisable to transfer yard engine men to road service. When such transfers are made, the yard engine men will first be required to run on the road six months as firemen.

These, with a few other slight concessions, were read at a full meeting of the railroad grievance committee and received with apparent dissatisfaction, though all debate was postponed, Nearly all the division superintendents have gone to their respective homes. The general officers of the company do not attempt to anticipate tho action of the men. General Superintendent Watts believe* that the company's schedule will be accepted, but their is much dissatisfaction. The matter will he more fully discussed before the meu give their answer.

His former partner, Geo. H. Staynor, has no part in his present schemes. They appear to have separated for good. The encounter between them when they were in Ludlow street jail, when Ives is said to have blacked his eye, severed the last tie that bound them together.

EVAKBVIUJS, Ind., February 27.—A private telegram was" received in this city to-day from a trustworthy source in New York, announcing that ex-State Treasuier J. A, Letncke, of this city, will be appointed United States treasurer, to succeed J. N. Huston. It is known that President Harrison tendered him the

Unite2

States treaanresbip three months

ago, before his term as state treasurer had expired, but be declined on tbe ground that Indiana's interests were greater than bis personal ambition. Mr. ^^in5®»^5!L555tohtWi? &b news of his appointment is received with general satisfaction in thiB city.

J. Augustus Leincke was bora in Hamburg, Germany, fifty-eight years ago, and came to Evansville when he was thirteen. Later he was in business with his uncle. When Use First national bank was established Mr. Lemeke became first the paying teller, and subsequently the book-keeper. He afterwards was

art owner o! the Cairo packet line, the war he was in command of the Fannie Bullitt, a government transport His first entrance into politics was in 1858, when he was elected city clerk. He was city treasurer for six years, and afterwards served two terms as sheriff. When the metropolitan police law took effect he wss On the first board. In 1886 he was elected state treasurer and has just completed his second term.

LEMCKE FOR TREASURER*,

He Is Said to he Appointed to Succeed J. nr. Huston. WASHINGTON, February 27.—Dispatches from Evansville state that J. Alexander Lemcke, of that city, has been tendered the position of Treasurer of the United States and will accept. Inquiries at the white house and treasury ^department on the subject are met with absolute silence. Botb Col. Halford and Treasurer Huston state that th«y have nothing to say on the subject The general impression is that the report is true. Suston's health has been bad for some time apparently not fully in accord with President Harrison as indicated by his published interview. Mr. Lemcke who is said to be selected as his successor is now iu New York placing a loan of $300,000 for the state of Indiana. It is not improbable that the nomination maybe sent in to-day.

Manderson, of Nebraska, has also been talked about in the last day or two as a probable candidate before the cau cus and it has been said that he will have the united western support, especially of the silver men, who might be expected naturally enough to oppose tbe selection of an eastern senator. Tbe choice of a

resident pro tempore will not be made, on any such line of division in partyt and it can be stated distinctly that there will be no direct contest at all between the east and west.

A TRUST GAME.

The Prlee or Soap to AdrnOM on Account or the Trust. WASHINGTON, February 27.—The price of soap will go up with a bound very shortly as a result of the fact that the National Soap Maker's Association is at last in running order. The organisation in Kansas City a few days ago of the'Missouri Association furnishes the only miseing link in the chain, and from now on the faculties of tbe executive officers will be fully taxed to prepare price lists that will not reduce trade, but at the same time squeeze a little more profit out of the consumer for the benefit of tbe producer. The prise package chromo art pictures, and similar incentives to retail purchasers will be abolished after to-morrow, and every brand will sell on its own merits and the large manufacturers are happy over tbe prospect of the return to old time profits.

SRAOLAUOH'S HERESY. Bwidlwwgte Writes aJastJCea* Uaa arHlt Belief Before neoih. New YORK, February 27.—-A London dispatch says tbe reports that have been in circulation tbst in the wly of what proved to be his last illness, the late Charles Bradlauah recalled the doctnnes of :nfidehty which he bad so persistectly championed throughout his life received a final quietus by the discovery among his private papers along statem«at written after he had been confined to hid bed and headed, 4Mv heresy—ita justitication." In the course" of the paper the writer says thet tbe believer* had sometimes been merciless to their dead, and he had been sometimes merciful to their living. They had used against him nearly every w«apon whieb petty persecution wen broken or swept away, but knowing as he did, tbe difficultives that the tvowal of heresy sf ill made in his path, le reiterated his avowal. He nrooably had as wide and large a political ambition at any living man and he believed that, so far as his poor efforts went, he could at least be of some service to his fellows, but he did not disguise the fact that tho heretic bad but small opportunities in view of the vast amount of pre judice that existed. He owed how* ever, to those who had been associated with him and had been devoted to him for more than a quarter of a century—some of them having stood shoulder to shoulder with him for nearly forty years—that having at least once leanea over the edge of the grave, although he had not fallen into the blackness of death, he made no wavering, and that he justified his heresy as be wrote. In addition to this Mrs. Bradlaugh Bonner, daughter of tho deceased, says she bad taken the precaution to procure signal testimonies from the independent and impartial witnesses in attendance upon her father during the four weeks prior to his death, that he was not heard to utter one word either directly or indirectly bearing upon religion or any ret liglous subject

IN M'CARTHY'S FAVOR.

Kennejr and Plynn Coming Here to Open a McCarthy Campaign. NEW YORK, February 27.—The announcement from London that Matthew J, Kenny and James Christopher Flynn, two members of the McCarthy wing of the Irish party, will sail for this country in a few cfays for the purpose of opening a campaign in favor ot McCarthy's lead«« ersbip and consequently against Parnellr and tnat they expect to return to Ireland with around hundred thousand dollars, is variously commented upon in Irish circles in this city. There seems, however, to be a consensus of opinion thst the proposed visit is Wl timed, that ib may arouse anew the bitter feeling which prevailed among the Irish party In manv large citieic prior to tb® departure of Diliion and O'Brien, and that tho prospect of tbe delegates being successful in tbe matter of securing contributions are very problematical, whether or not: the delegates will be tendered a reception on their arrival will be decided at a meeting to be held la a few days. The Parneli wing vehemently oppose any such recognition to the men whom they regard as traitors to tbe ex-chief, whll* the followers of McCarthy seem to be in a decided minority, especially among the mottled supporters of Irish liberty,
