CONFIDENCE GAMES.
How They are Operated inOur„Cily.
The Victim*" Who are Enticed Here to be Fleeced.
The Pair of Unwashed Rascals Who Run the Business.
We doubt not that the city authorities would make short work of any undisguised swindling confidenae game by which scoundrels seek to trap the unwary should any such industry be unearthed in this city. But are not the authorities aware that just such swindlers are even now reaping a rich harvest within a few blocks of the city hall, from whence retributive justice should speedily come? ,.
The business of these sharpers is disguised, 'tis true, and has the adv«wta6e of not possessing the general outward appearance of the game that the verdant countryman is made acquainted with on his arrival in a great metropolis. But it isjnone the less a confidence game, and the most aggravated character, for th6se villians make capital of the most sacred feelings of the human heart, and hesitate not to take even the last dollar from tneir poor deluded victim. Like their cousins of the larger cities, they too prey upon the verdant and the more credulo is who visit this city.
Having long since gulled and hopelessly impoverished all our gullible citizen, and finding that among the chance visitors they cannot find a sufficient number of gilded idiots upon which to practice their rascality, they have resorted to the very effective plan of causing to be published in papers throughout the country glowing and craftily gotten-up accounts of the attractions they present, and by this and allied devices succeed in enticing large numbers of travel-6tained and expectant idiots to their dens.
These frauds are now being practiced in this city, as we have said, by certain persons calling themselves ''materializing mediums," each of whom, two in number, is surrounded by several degraded partners and pals, whose business it is to gain the confidence of their intended victim, and work the poor fool up to that state of mind where he thinks it his sacred duty to make a series of valuable presents to an unwashed medium' in a dark cabinet, under the delusion that what he sees before him is the materialized spirit of a dear friend—a wife or sister perchance, whose
would gladly give every earthly treasure he possesses, if thereby she could be rendered the happier.

Will not the Law or Judge Lyoch take a Hand in the Game?,1*
From Friday's Daily.
Considered in the light" 6f the famous dictum of Carlyle, that "America ha6 a street near Farrington, serious population of oyer forty millions, mostly nr.t_._j-.. tools," our readers need not be surprised to learn that these establishments are both in a thriving condition, and that
iUa
large number of the intended victims at once see through '.the gauzy game and refuse to invest further, but these, who still retain any remnant of an intellect, are in the minority. The majority of their visitors come here possessed of a robust faith, a decrepid intellect, and reason dwarfed from long dis-qse. 'Tis not to be expected that such travesties on humanity should detect the fraud, especially as a pair of muscular reprobates ever stand conveniently by to prevent a too close, scrutiny of" the cabinet and paraphrenalia while the show is progressing.
Few, if any, of our readers have any idea of the large number of valuables destined for the summer-land that these socalled mediums daily intercept, but we venture to say that Chicago possesses a pawnbroker who could throw considerable light on this matter should he so choose. In addition to these presents of jewelry of all kinds, watches, costly wearing appearel, and valuables of every conceivable nature, from which their chief profits are derived, these operators derive a handsome income from the admission fees, and private audiences given to their victims.
We think it doubtful if Terre Haute possesses a legitimate business Enterprise whose profits will at all compare with one of these thieving confidence games, that our citizens permit to exist undisturbed right in the heart of this beautiful city.
Will not our law-abiding citizens take steps to have the city cleared of this iniquitous j*' enter prise, and the operators "^treated to a term in the penitentiary, which they so richly deserve? The two men upon whom the chief punishment should be ir.flicted, are well known in their neighborhood as a pair of drunken rascals, both of whom are well, though not sufficiently, acquainted with the interior of the citj-'s lcck-up. Neither ot them are ever known to defile their hands with honest labor, and are strangers to decency, sobriety and honesty. Only their drunken pals and the whiskey vend

MALARIA.
Th'j Third Ward Epidemic—Different Opinions as to the Cause
V-B'^SSPCI the miasma.
$r%*
t%l
Jpb'J
From Friiav's Dally.
That the Third Ward is at present being visited by a serious malarial pestilence is apparent to a dangerous degree. But what is the cause of it, or lrom whence comes the invisable foe is not so apparent to the investigator.
Yesterday all that portion of the city was in a state of excitement and the rumor?, as plenty a» the residents are, for every resident had a rumor of his or her own, all made it quite difficult in one brief afternoon to trace up any of the asserted causes of the sickness. Many were found who loudly asserted that to their positive knowledge, that certain slaughter-houses, or the distiller)*, or the greaseries, or certain closets or wells were the cause. The most prevalent opinon found among those that seemed best acquainted with that part of the city was that the extensive cattle stables at ihe distillery were the source of the materia, that they were reeking with filth, but a thorough investigation of those premises entirely disproves that assertion. The distillery has "been closed for several weeks past, there is no slop being made, no cattle or live stock is fed or kept there, and the stables are very clean, unusually so. The gutters all lead into the river as they always have, and are in the cleanest possible condition. There are several small manure piles there but of no special filthy character, other than found in any farmer'6 barnyard. Then there are several other places that are severely condemned for their foulness and terrible condition.
Among them was the market house of Tom Walker, "old Tom" was clased as being in a very bad condition, quite intolerable to the residents thereabout, but closer investigation shows that this complaint is also somewhat unfounded. It was very bad sometime ago but has since been cleaned and used but very little, the police having ordered it closed except for occasional use.
Careful investigation leads to the conclusion that if the malaria comes from any of these stench establishments it comes from some of the greaseries and slaughter houses in that section, and this is the more probable for the reason they are all at work and are all in an ex ceedingly offensive condition. Foulness is too tame an expression the entire die tionary fails to make up a sentence of expresfions 6trong enough to describe the horrible 6mell that emanates from the greasery located on the river bank and that located on the island.
But, there is the possibility that none of these establishments mentioned are the true source. It may be in some foul outhouse, or drain, or cesspool that is escaping all notice, in fact it cannot be positively known what is the real cause only by a "thorough and intelligent investigation. This is the positive necessity in the case, and it is the duty of the city authorities, or their board of health, to give the matter immediate attention.
The total number of cases, to date, including the present sick and ths deceased, is thirtv- three, as follows:
Charles M. Statz, died 011 Wednesday. Mrs. Martin Kercheval, Second street, died Tuesday.

Mrs. John Yelke, First street. Two cases on First north of Vine. Two cases, a lady and child, at Owens' boarding house, corner Ohio and First.
Daughter of Mr. Glick, corner Walnut and First. That it is becoming quite dangerous, to our city is evident and while there is need for a panic or state of terror it behooves all to take plenty of stock in the old saying that "Cleanliness is Godlines*."" Clean up your premises and keep clean in person. Growl and raise a racket on general principles with your dirty neighbor, and make the neighbors understand you are in earnest.
It is a fact that is plain to all that the present sickness is the result of filth, the only question being to find out which is the particular filth. All are apt to become careless, the officials and the citizens generally. Take a look at several of our alleys, and you will wonder that there is not "much more sickness.
It is due to Mr. Cox, o* the firm of Cox & Fairbanks, that, immediately upon hearing that their distillery was being considered as the source of the miasma in the Third ward, he at once called upon a number of our prominent physicians and scientific men, acquainted with chemistry, and invited them to as sist him in thoroughly examining the extensive premises of the distillery, also asked the boaitl of health to do the same, so that whatever the cause might be if found on his premises, it should be instantly attended to, Let the mysterious cause of the fever be searched oyt aad

LAWYER'S OFFICES The lawyers of Terre Haute are, as a class, gentlemen of quite unusual taste, sense, and neatness as shown by their many official places of business. It is doubtful if any community can show so many fine, even elegant, offices, occupied by members of the legal profession, as here, size of places of course being considered.
It is almost always the case, even proverbial, that the dullest, dirtiest pieces in the usual American towns and smaller American cities, are the lawyeis' offices, small, dingy, dreary, cobwebby, dusty, filthy dens, the only furniture, a low, square, badly-battered ink-stained table, a rickety book-case, a stove too old for ordinary memory, three or four splintbottomed chairs, so tired to see, ragged curtains that won't go up or down, and the universal spittoon, filthy beyond description. Tobacco 6pittal everywhere. There are two or three of this class of dens in this city, but they are so seldom visited by decent people and so completely in the minority that they "don't count."
A. a rule our lawyers have large airy, roomy, offices. Almost all are arranged en suite, paint-td, papered and often decorated in the latest styles of decorative ai t, carpeted and handsomely furnished with elaborate desks, glass front library cases, sofas, lounges, easy chairs, rockers, &c., and in many offices tastefully selected pictures adorn the walls, all giving evidence of a cultivated gentlemanly owner, one who has pride in himself and his profession. It is such who do honor to their profession, and are a credit and benefit to their place of residence. A true gentleman always exhibits hi# right to that title by his taste and culture in his surroundings, and is always a benefit to his fellow-neighbors
While nearly all our lawyers are finely located and fitted up, there are several whose chambers are quite noticeable. Of these the suits occupied by Messrs. Hunter & Jones in the Beach block Tom Harper, Ohio street Charles E. Hosford, corner of Main and Fourth B. E. Rhoads, corner of Main and Third Havens & Coffroth, Main street Allen Mack#& Davis, Ohio street Boudinot & Brown Main, street and Beauchamp & Seldomridge, corner of Main and Fifth, all are especially convenient and handsome.
The offices of Beauchamp & Seldomridge are seldom equalled anywhere, the furniture and fixtures being all of European importation, quite worth seeing, as objects of artistic curiosity, very elaborate andcostly. One drawback that preyents our professional gentlemen generally from displaying taste and neatness, is the utter neglect and disregard by the own ers of rented business property about keeping their stairways, halls, and front entrances to their premises cleaned and decently attended to. The Beach block, southeast corner «f Main and Sixth street, is a very convincing evidence of this neglect, also the Darning block, north east corner of Main and Sixth
rihe
neat
condition of the entrances and passages of the McKeen block, northwest corner of Main and Sixth, is quite agreeable to mention.
Where owners are in different, but little pride or neatness is to be expected ot the office occupant.
All things considered our lawyers exhibit taste and pride that entitles them, as a business, to respectful credit lor their part in the neatness of our busines- establishments.

MEASURE3 OF SAFETY.
of the Council to Inquire Into the Public Health.
All the Naisanties in the South Part of Town to be Abated
r* m-. im
&
From Saturday's Daily.
The city Council met last night" in special session to adopt means of public safety in regard to the Third ward epidemic. The members present were Appman, Cruft, Clutter, Frisz, Harris, Harrison, McCutcheon, Regan and Schloss.
The Mayor being absent, Mr. Schloss was called to the chair. He 6tated that the object of the meeting was to adopt measures for public safety and to promote the health of the community.
Dr. Roberts, of the board of health, made a statement. He thought the reports in some cases were exaggerated.
The disease was quite prevalent and has a tendency to spread, as shown by the number of new cases. The board of health had made some examination of the water in that locality. The board found numerous nuisances in the Third ward. The first was the cattle pens at the distillery. The pens themselves were in ^ood condition, but the manure, hay, etc., thrown out was a great offense and emited offensive odors. The doctor, however, stated that not always offensive smells are dangerous. One other great nuisance was the slaughter houses. He thought it impossible to maintain slaughter pens free from putrefication without improvements superior to anything in the city. A number of coopers' vats kept in that vicinity were also dangerous.
The doctor said that any one of these nuisances is sufficient to cause fever here. The sanitary condition of the city is very bad. The doctor remarked upon the slough below the distillery, which is a great breeder of disease. The speaker thought the Council should enforce rigid measures. It would cost the city something, but it Was better that owners of houses in that vicinity clean up than die. The health of the city is inore valuable than convenience. If the Council has power to abate the nuisances, it should do so by all means. Garbage carts should be run.
An inquirv being made whether the board of heafth has power to take stringent measures to hatre nuisances abated, the city attorney read an ordinance found on page ISI, of the book of ordinances, "detlaring "j,, fr#-*
That the board of health hereby1 establish' ed sr.- hereby Invested with the power, whenever they may deem it necessary for the security «f the city, to take the most prompt an« efficient means to prevent the introduction of contagious, malignant, dan gerous and Infectious or pestilential disc ses within said city, and for the removal of any person or persons who may be found thi r?. in, having any lufactious or pestilential disease. \lr. Cruft also read an ordinance in re gard to the authority granted the board of health.
The question then arose as to the method to be employed. Dr. Roberts theught the 6treet commissioner and marshall should be empowered to have sanitary measures carried out.
After several members had read ordi nances on the subject, it was agreed that an amendatory ordinance should be passed, compelling property owners to place their lands in good condition, and if they fail to do so, have the city author ities do the work and charge to the owner.
Dr. Roberts stated that he regarded the keeping of hogs in the city a nui sance, and thought it should be prohibited.
Mr. Harris thought that slaughtering and rendering in the city should be stopped.
After some discussion, Mr. Harris moved that the judiciary comm ttee draft a new ordinance, covering all the nuisances mentioned, and that the ordinance be presented at the next regular meeting of the Council, as ordinances can be adopted only at regular meetings
After moore discussion the motion of Mr. Harris was unanimously adopted. Mr. Schloss presented the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That the day police be and are hereby directed to inspect the sanitary condition of their respective districts, and when they find the necessity of reporting any bad place, they must report to the board of health instantly, for their inspection, and asssist the board in the abatement of such nuisance."
A resolution was read ordering a sink near the well on the corner of Walnut and Third streets. It was referred to the board of health.
A resolution was adopted ordering property owners and tenants to see that all grass and weeds on their premises are cut down and removed,
Some minor matters were di&cussed after which the Council adjourned.
LAST week having business in Terre Haute, we took dinner at the Terre Haute house. That justly popular house has lost nene of its attractions. The best cooks in the country preside over the kitchen, and the most popular officers in
house.—[Marshall Messenger.
NEW YORK EXCURSION. There is a rumor in general circulation about town that an excursion to New York city is being arranged, tickets to be $10 for the round trip. Investigation of the rumor shows there is no truth in it, there is no such excursion contemplated, and all the through lines runnihg East utterly refuse to make any such rates as they have all the, traffic they can handle* at full rates.. 1 -lil?
ONE of* thej most" urgent needs at the County fair, griunds is suitable stairs leading to th& gfand stftnd. The ^pair at present'«Jre too old and rickety for safety and are quite dangerous.j
THE ANTIDELUVIAN ARM CHAIR. Sometime after Pinkie Winkle had left the "den," her old friend continued in the land of dreams, but finally came back,to the reality'of the surroundings and soon espied her lis* of questions, as well as the fragrant bouquet of Pinks and Tea roses that she had brought for a morning offering to her grand mother's' friend. "What!" sajrs the antideluvian after carefully reading the questions, "What' Is this?" the little minx wants me to give her "advice!" "Some rules of life!" "Tell her what are her duties!!" "Give her advice!" worse and worse, advice indeed! I can tell her there is little use,, in this day and generation in writir.g out. rules of life or giving bits of experience. I would like to know if she thinks that I want, to be considered an old fool, an ogre, nay, nay Miss Pink yoj don't catch this old bird with such chaff. Younesters grow to be men and women, feel very consequential and begin to look life in the face, and think they want to live splendid lives, the^r are not going to make shipwreck of their happiness, they will be too smart to live as other people have done very happy they determine to be, and of course very, very rich! and my Pink is not an exception, although not very charming.
There is much written and published $ nowadays for the edification of young and old that the old may be exempt* from giving advice. No need of line upon .. line any longer, the mentor's occupationisgone. Young America knows it all, and if Young America will practice all the good rules of life that have long been so lavishly strewn, scattered broadcast as it were, in their pathway for their benefit all will end gloriously, but if the lessons of wisdom are scouted at and sneered down, there will be the same disappointment, poverty of heart and intellect, and wretched experiences as the world has ever known." "Not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the DOERS af the law, shall be justifled," is as true to-day as wh?n it was written eighteen hundred years ago, and the rule still holds good in living the true life,
