FIRE IMPAIRMENT
Cry OF EVANSVILLE, june IL.
Editors Journal:
In this mornings issue of the
Courier there is a call for an in
vestigation of the service of the
Fire Department rendered at the
two last fires in this city, viz: one
on Clark Street, few days ago, and
the other on the corner of franklin
and Second Avenue. yesterday morn
ing. The engineers are anxious to
have the matter thoroughly ventilated,
and will afford every facility in their
power to this end, both as to the re-
cent fires alluded to, or upon any
particulars upon which the public
may be interested. These charges
are claimed to be made ia good faith,
and this branch of the city's service,
being of the utmost importance,
should be open for candid and seru-
tinizing criticism.
Respectfully,

Au0klUuSs
The examination of the High
School yesterday was very interesting,
and large number of visitors were
present. The classes were examined
in Algebra, Caesar, Arithmetic, Nat
ural Philosophy, German, Physical
Geography, Geometry, Chemistry and
Rhetoric. This school is taught by
F. G. Willett, assisted by Miss D. j.
Mayhem and Miss Asenath Cox. The
class examinations were very fair,
and especially in Geometry the most
| difficult problems were worked out
with apparent ease by nearly every
eseholar. In the other branches. the
examinations give evidence of close
and thorough study. This school is
an honor to our city, and to the able
teachers great praise should be given
for the manner in which they have
impaired instruction to the scholars.
We have not time to particularize the
examinations in each course of study.
but all present were highly enter
tanned by the thorough knowledge
eVinced by the classes of the subjects
upon which they were questioned.
The examination of this school will
be concluded this morning. The
following pupils have not been absent
or tardy during the year:

RECORDERS CoURT.-Only one case
was disposed of by the Tycoon yester-
day. A man, whose name we omit,
was arrested for maintaining null
sance by allowing dirty water to
run from his stable into the streets.
This water, by collecting in little
pools, soon became stagnant, and the
stencil arising therefrom was not as
sweet to the olfactory organs as the
" otto of roses" Hence it behooved
the City Marshal to abate the nuisance
The gentleman was fined and costed
in the sum of s11 70, which amount
healed the breach in the city ordi-
nance. The fine was paid, and the
gentleman went on his way wiser
(and a poorer) man. r-ga
1t would be we'll in this connection
to remark that a great many people
in this city maintain nuisances. The
Board of Health have pointed
out some of the worst, but there arc
a great number Of minor cases that
need attention. The warm weather
has fairly set In, and a just regard fol
the general health of the citizens
should cause every one to keep bis
premises neat and clean. The worst
| places are generally the back yards
and alleys, and in many of the latter
a great deal of filthy garbage is de-
posted, which soon rots, and emits a
foul odor, which, at this time of the
year, is not fayorite prescription fol-
good health. IF our citizens do not
want to be taken before the Recorder
let them keep their premises and al
legs in clean condition. Nothing is
so conducive to health and all its con.
comitant blessings, as cleanliness
We have some few tenement houses
in Evansville that fairly reek witt
fifth and pollution. and it is in there
that disease in its worst forms is en-
gendered; and it requires the closes
attention on the part of the city au
thorities and the Board Of Hath, tC
have these places kept in such con
dition as to prevent the most violent
epidemics from affecting our people
It is the. interest of every good citi
zen to do all in his power to keep the
city In good sanitary condition
thereby avoiding the pestilential dis
eases that so often come with the
Summer season.

BASE BALL.-We are informed that
the grand success of our Cincinnati
Club on it's Eastern tour has created
a little excitement among our" base
ball players. and it is proposed by the
young men to take the laurels from
the old men in match game to-mor-
row afternoon.
We have good amateur players
among us, as has been demonstrated
by the games played at Paducah, New
Harmony, Greensboro, and on our
own Fair Grounds. Probably one of
the best games ever played in the
West was on our Fair Grounds last
Fall. We expect to see some fun and
good playing tomorrow afternoon.
The game will commence at half
past two; and we presume that a
game of so much interest will attract
quite large crowd.

Trial Of Herman Ruffert on the
Charge of Rape.
A Plea Of Insanity Put in by the Be
Tense.

Some time last Spring German by
the name of Herman Ruffert was ar
rested for attempting to outrage the
persons of a number Of little girls.
Great excitement was created at the
time of his arrest, and some persons
were in favor of lynching him; but
wiser counsels prevailed, and the law
was allowed to take its course. Ruff
fert had a preliminary examination at
the time of his arrest, and was re-
manded to Jail for trial. The evidence
at the time of the preliminary ex-
animation was sufficient to show that
he had attempted to outrage several
little girls. and it was generally sup
posed that when tried before the
Court, he would be sent to the peni-
Tertiary.
Yesterday, Ruffert was tried in the
Criminal Court, before Judge Robin
son. A plea of not guilty was first
entered by the defense, but the evil
dence showed him to be guilty of the
crimes with which he was charged.
The defense then admitted Rufert's
guilt, and put in a plea of insanity at
the time the acts were committed.
Many witnesses were examined, and
the weight of the testimony went to
show that Ruffert was man of un-
sound mind, and was evidently insane
at the time he attempted the outrages.
At the close of the testimony, the
attorneys waived their right to ad-
dress the jury; and Judge Robinson
instructed the jury that, if they
thought insanity had been proven,
they must acquit the prisoner. The
case was then given to the jury, who
were out only few minutes, and re-
turned verdict of acquittal, declar-
ing Ruffert insane, and recommend
ing that he should be sent to the
insane asylum at Indianapolis, as he
was too dangerous man to be turned
loose on any community.
The Judge directed the Sheriff to
take charge of the prisoner until he
was sent to the asylum, the jury was
discharged, and the Court adjourned
until Saturday morning at 8 o'clock.
