THIRD STREET SEVENTH AVENUE
SEWER-The contract for construct
ing the Third Street Seventh Avenue
Sewer was given out to Mr.. Allen at
S13 30 per thousand brick-twenty
FIVE cents per cubic yard of earth for
excavating and filing, and 81 % per
cubic foot for stone work. The sewer
extends from the foot of Seventh Az.
enue to Third Street, and up Third
Street to Fulton Avenue. The ex-
pense of constructing it will be quite
heavy. OF the expenses to the city
which are daily accruing under Dem
ocratic rule, we have endeavored to
keep the readers of the JOURNAL
posted. When all is footed up it
is feared they will say, the half has
not been told" 1t was the burden
and theme Of the Democratic song
last year, that the people wanted "a
change. " Well, they got it, and with
it will be minus great deal Of
change" before they have a chance
to make a choice Of Councilmen
again.

WoN'T GIVE UP THE MONEY
Some of the Democrats who were so
confident Of the election of their pet,
Thomas A. Hendricks to the position
of Governor of Indiana, aud who had
lots Of money that said he would
be Governor, still refuse to give up
the money, or to allow the stake hold
ers to do SO. In all conscience it is
bad enough to bet on lost cause"
but to refuse TO pay over the cash, or
to allow it to be paid over when fairly
won by Republicans who had the
nerve to lay wager against the heavy
importations of the Democracy, is
simply superlatively mean. Gentle
men, in the language Of the Courier,
we would say, pay over your cash,
but don't bet any more "-on " lost
cause" That is good advice

SPAN OF HORSES DROWNED. Last
Tuesday, while a German, whose
name we did not learn, was crossing
a span of horses over Pigeon Greek
in boat, at Kline's Mill, few miles
from the city. the horses became
frightened, and jumped from the boat
into the water, aud becoming en-
tangled in the gearing, were drowned.
The horses were quite valuable, and
the loss is a serious one to the owner,
who, owing to the fact that he could
not swim himself, was unable to rem
der assistance to his horses.

DIDN'T WANT HER NAME USED.
"A man yesterday enquired what it
would cost to put few lines in the
paper" Ga being asked the nature
of the few lines he wished put
in the paper" he said that he wanted
to advertise his wife. Has she left

turn. 9 No, but we had little
trouble. She sold my overcoat and
some Of my other clothes. and then,
when | asked her about it, she told
me | could leave if l liked, and [
left. Now, I would like to advertise
her, so that she can't get things on
my credit, if it can be done without
using her name" He was assured
that the name made no differe nee at
all, and that. instead of its costing
him, it could be done for nothing.
He was delighted, and thought the
man with whom he was talking the
most obliging of men.

Mr.. EDITOR :-Several of your CORES
pondents, very old and reliable, no doubt +,
seem to be wonderfully exercised as to the
origin OfOur PLANTATION BIrTERS. So lon z
as these BItieTs are all that we represent
them to be, we do not know that IL makes
any difference from whom they come. or
from whence they originated; but for the
information of the public generally, and
old Capt. WentZ in particular. we Wi. say
that he told the truth, and that the . Bit
tiers originated in the West India Islands
that many of the ingredients have been
favorably used for over century, but our
combinations of Calisaya is entirely new,
and our own. The rum and other materi-
ais are the same, and as your correspond
ent saws, a better Btters or Tonic is not

ILLEGAL VorING.-A few days ago
a man named French was held to bail,
in Washington, Ind, in the sum of
500 for his appearance at the Circuit
Court, to answer the charge of illegal
voting. A little " holding to bail
and after that little sending to the
penitentiary, would be good for few
fellows who voted in Evansville at the
October election.

WILB.-Night before last, while two
policemen were standing on the side
walk on Sycamore Street, we'll
dressed man, evidently under the in
fuence of liquor, walked up to them
and inquired the way to Eighth
Street. He was shown the direction
and after some. further conversation,
passed on. Seeing that his steps were
unsteady, the policemen followed
him, just keeping in sight. At a
point near Zion's Church he was
found leaning against fence. When
the policeman approached, the man
appeared wild. He looked at his
over-cost, aud said, they have got
me in this scrape; l don't know
where [ got this coat" and pulling
it off, he threw il on the pavement,
and run at the top of his speed. The
officers pursued. and in a short time
caught the man, and lodged him in
the city prison The case was inves-
tigated yesterday by the Recorder,
when it transpired that the man re-
ferred to was we'll known citizen of
Posey County, who had been in a
state bordering closely on deiiriuna
tren,ens:: hence his strange conduct
In fine and costs he was charged
IS 10. It is probably fortunate cir
cumstance that the police officers fol-
lowed the man, as in his condition al
that time he might have died before
morning. This circumstance will
probably be a warning to him thai
will prove a benefit.

SHooTING.-Last night at about s
o'clock, some fellow entered the gro
Gerry store of Mr.. Cook on Main Street,
beyond Sixth, and discharged a re-
volver two or three times, firing at
the ceiling in the room, after which
he made his escape. Such acts of
lawlessness merits severe punishmenta
and 1t is hoped the offending party
will be arrested and brought to JUS
tice. Certainly when such men escape
punishment, it is but an encourage
ment for those of vicious habits to
commit other depredations.

A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS FIRM
1t affords pleasure to speak of the
Improvements made during the last
few weeks by Messrs. Cloud & Akin
in their labratory in the rear of their
drug store on First Street. Recently
these gentlemen have put up boiler,
and will in the Spring introduce a
Eve horse power steam engine into
their establishment, with which to
facilitate the work of manufacturing.
This has become necessary in order
to supply the demand for articles of
their own manufacture aud prepare
ton. 1t is always a satisfaction to
speak of the enlargement and extern
sion of manufacturing facilities by
those who thus employ their capital
in our city. Evansville can Justly
boast of its manufacturing interests.
How THE MONEY COSBY ex-
aiming the bills allowed from week
to week by the City Council, it will be
seen that in addition to the vast
outlay for labor done on the streets,
especially in the Sixth Ward, two Su-
perintendents or Street Commission
ers are paid three dollars day for
overseeing the work, then Mr.. A.
kirkpatrick is paid three dollars
day for overseeing; and, finally, Mr..
Councilman Schrieber brings in bill
of $216 for seventy two days super
intending work on the streets, which
is allowed. Here we have twelve
dollars day, or seventy two dollars
week for doing what Peter Zapp
used to do for eighteen dollars per
week. That's nractieal economy
