THE POLICE JUDGESHIP.
X Compromise lllll introduced In the 1 eg.
I.lature The Oue.tlou to be submitted
to the People.
It will be remembered that llepresenta
live Ta) lor. of Franklin tount), reientl)
Introducid a bill in the Ohio house to create
the ollices of police judge and assistant city
solicitor in Columbus. Hon t.eorge C
Itawllns introduced the bill prepared b)
Cit) Solicitor "summers creating the offices
of olicH judge, ind!, e i ourt prxtsciutorand
clerk in Springfield, but it was evident that
both bills would not be passed by the legis
lature, Mr Kavvlins stated a couple of
weeks ago to a representative of the Ki
l'L in ir that he would hive a consultation
with Ilepresentatlve Taylor and endeavor
to effect a compromise with hi in. so that
both Springfield and Columbus might be ac
commodated. That compromise has been
effected, as is shown in tlie following taken
from todav s Columbus Journal
Sir. Ta) lor's bill to create the ofliees of
police judge and assistant cit) solicitor In
Columbus, was reported bvck In the
house last evening in the form of a sub
stitute for tlie original bill b) the commit
tee on municipal corporations with a n-c-nininendatinn
for passage The substitute
was ordered printed and set for third
reading next Tuesday. Sir. Itiwllns had
a bill for a police judge in Spriugtield. and
he combined witli Sir Ta) lor In the prep
aration of one bill which is to cover both
cases and afford the relief desired. The
provisions of the substitute are the same
as were In the original, with the exceptions
that It leaves the matter of compensation
for the police judge and assistant solicitor
to be decided b) the council withilt certain
limits, and also provides that the question
of a change shall be submitted to a vote of
the people twenty days previous to the
election at which tlie officers are to be
elected.
That part of the bill which provides that
the question of a change shall be submitted
to the people at an election, will scared)
meet the approval of those who favor a po
lice judge. Ac, as It Is extremely doubtful
whether a majority of the people will vote
for a change,

The ever-popular Irish comedian, Pat

and very enthusiastic audience at Black's
opera house last night to witness for the
first time In this city the production of
"Pat's Wardrobe." There Is only little to
the play itself, and without Just such a
character as Mr. Itooney to take the leading
roie it wouiu tail very snort as a successful
piece. His talent Individuality and danc
ing carried the people with him, and he
cannot help being the star of the ev enlng.
Katie Itooney became quite a favorite
from tne moment she made her appearance
before the foot-lights and barring the
harshness of her voice, did her part in quite
a taking manner.
Tae ladies displayed some elegant ward

its piot is well conceived, and it Is devel

"Chaplain's Ode." tlie "Conspirators," and
"Gossiping Chorus" are numbers which
fall gratefully upon the ear and linger
pleasantly in recollection. The opera is a

Tlie New Comet to be seeu In the XTestetn

Low down in the heavens directly west
shortly after 8 a. in., can be seen with the
naked eye the new comet discovered by
Hartwlg about three months ago. To a
casual observer it appears like a star of the
third magnitude, but on closer Inspection a
short tall can be discerned. In the tele
scope it appears like a nebulous disk with
a bright spot In the center It passed peri
helion December 10, and is now receding
from ns. Its nearest distance to the sun
was a little inside the orbit of Venus. As
tronomers would call this a large comet ami
It has not been Identified with any other
Another comet was discovered in tlie
southern hemisphere at about the same as
the Hartwlg comet b) Lindlay at the Cape
of Good Hope. It Is a small one and
scarcely v 'sable to the naked eye. From
five to ten ot these lelestial wanderers are
discovered early. They come from the
Interstellar spaces, and most of them pass
awa) again, as far as we know, never to
return.

Siuildeu Death of J Uuiuu Vim, of Ito,-
t'.i.-SUelrli or His Lire anil Work X
Heautirul aud Just Tribute.
The subjoined obituar) notii e of Sir J
Thomas Vose is clipped from the Bosh n
Ktemwj Traveler. Sir. Vose was a
brother of Sir E. J Vose, suterinteudent
of the Warder, Bashnell A (.lessnt-r Co ,
aud was very well known In this city Ills
sudden death will be sincirel) mourned by
a large circle of relatives and friends The
Traieler says
Hie numerous friends of J. Thomas
vose, esq , will be pained to receive tin
announcement of his death, which c urns
at Ids residence in Sedgwick street. Jamaica
Plain, at 4 ocloek this inOriiin-r. after
lingering Illness of kidney trouble fjjmt.
reientl) he came in Boston, and apur
to be improving, but was stricken dowi
suddenly, and died as stated above.
Sir. Vose wis born In Boston in 181K in
the house on Common street next to thf
Brimmer school house. He was the son ol
Joshua Vose, of the old hatting firm of E
J Vose. and after graduating from th
English High school he entered the store oi
Jennevss, (,age A Moody, in Liberty square
where he remained through various chxngt
till it became Lyon A Vose. and only lef
the old building at the time of the great fire
in ls72. In the progress of business Mr
John E. Lyon became largely interested n
railroads, leaving the other business to Mr
Vose. Tim sudden death of Sir. L)on.
leaving his large estate to .Mr. Vose for set
tlement compelled his taking the place or
Mr. Lyon in his vari.ms enterprises, po,i
tions which he accepted as a sense of dutv
to his late partner. He was president o
the Boston. Concord A Montreal railroad
and subsequently of the Concord railroad
acting also as director of the Atlantii
Bank.
The pleasure of his life consisted in work
ing for the young people ot the Warrei
street chapel, he hav ing Joined that institu
tion as a boy at its commencement and
from that da) to this he has contributed
both time and money in the promotion ot
the work of the institution, probabl
spending more towards its annual support
than any other single person. His death is
a very serious blow to the Warren street
chapel, and its managers may well ask
who are to fill the places of such benefac
tors as Ilenr) P. Kidder, F. K Parker
George C. Klchardson. James A. Dupeeand
J. Thomas Vose. all of whom hav e depart
ed within the year past
Mr. ose was a man w ho was genial and
courteous to alL exceedingly unostentatious
of a remarkably even temperament squ ire
and decisive In all his dealings, and no
greater loss has fallen upon our couiuiuint)
for some time than that occasioned by bis
death. His memory will be very sweet to
his business friends, and especially to thous
ands of young persons who for fort) ears
have looked up to him as a man whose life
was to be copied. He was a kind and lov
ing husband and father and a staunch
friend. He leaves a widow and one -on
who Is married and lives at Boston High
lands. Mr. Vo-e's mother was the daugh
ter of Captain Wheeler, who was one of the
tea-party that threw the tea overboard, and
afterwards commanded a company at the
siege of Boston, his company assisting at
the fortifying of Dorchester Heights.
The announcement of the death of Sir
Vose will be received with genuine regret
wherever he was known, and bis large cir
cled friends will sincerely sy inpathize w ith
tne family and relatives in thejr bereave
ment, or all tils as-ociates there are none
who will more keenly feel hts loss than Sir
Samuel Weltch. the well known shipping
agent of this city. The two gentlemen
married sisters, have lived together sime
their married life began, have always been
closely attached, and no tw o brothers ev er
held higher friendship and respect for each
other than has existed between them. Mr
W eltch has for a great many ) ears also
been one of the most devoted and promi
nent In advancing the Interests of the War
ren street chapel as a co-worker of Mr
Vose. and the death of his old friend is a
terrible shock to him.
