THE MONUMENT AGAIN. The Hostility of the Union Veteran Legion to the Perversion Illustrated. It is well known that the annualNational Encampment of tbe Union Veteran Legion will be held in this oity Oct. 12 and 13. The committee of the Indianapolis Camp is at work making arrangements for the enter- tainment of the representatives of this body of veterans in a manner befitting the city of Indianapolis. One of the. designs of the executive committee, of which Capt. J. M. Paver is chairman, is to have a "souvenir badge," and a special committee, of which CoL B.C. Shaw is chairman, was created to attend to tbe matter. Being called npon for a report of progress, Chair- man Shaw responded in a letter to the ex- ecutive committee, whieh is of interest be- cause it touches on a much more important topic and shows the drift of sentiment on the part of veterans. Tbe interesting part of the letter is as follows: Contract has been made for the delegate metal badge. But as the committee was Instructed to have all the badges made with the model of the State soldiers' and sailors' monument struck on them before wo knew of tho attempt to r rrert that structure from its original purpose, many of our own member have declared they would not wear a badge with the monument engraved or printed on it if the desecration already made should be persisted in by the authorities. Wo had luviteu the national encampment here, and one of the Inducements ottered was that they would meet In the presence of the finest monu- ment yet erected to commemorate the sacrifices of the soMlers and sailors who died that the Union might live. You know we 'have been taunted in letters from our Kastern cemrades alreud? with the assertion that the monument is being erected to commemorate several dlilerent epochs in our State's history of small moment, upon an equality with the memory and tribute to our late comrades of the war of 1861 to 1SG3. We have already Incured the expense of the lithograph stone, and your committee will await the decision of tho BUto commissioners, the first of next month, before we Involve the eucamp-ine- nt with $230 to $300 expense for badges that would be a dead loss, because If our own mem- bers will not use them with that emblem on themlt certainly would not he In good taste to otter them to our visiting comrades as a token. . For myself. I have no doubt but the commis- sioners will remove the objectionable figures and return to the original design, as directed by the. Grand Army of the Republic, whese agents they ' are, as well to carry out their comrades' will, as to economically expend the State appropriation, made at the request of the living Union soldiers ' of Indiana and their friends. In a six weeks' discussion there has been no sentiment developod among old soldiers, or the general publio, compared with the weil nigh unanimous protest against the perversion at- tempted. The president (Comrade Langsdale) said at the public meeting held in the State agri- cultural-room, on the 2d Inst: "You will all be satisfied with the action of the board," which was greeted with' applause. And there can be but little doubt that at the meeting next month prompt action will be taken to restore the mon- ument to Its original design and- - purpose, after which there Is ample time to complete our sou- venirs. And I trust the chairman and comrades of tho exeoutive commlltee will approve of our delay. Dr. Lucas's TIew. A friend in another State wrote to ask Dr. Lucas when the soldiers monument will be finished. This Is the reply sent him: It Is not certain yet that we shall have a mon- ument to the soldiers. The commission have put the figures 1840 and 1849 -- upon it, and are trv-'in- g to stretch It out over another war beside that of the rebellion, so that as a monument it is a failure. They may have judgment enough to change It, but if they do not, we have no sol- dier's monument, and we shall be compelled to call It Indiana's work of art and let It go at that, and I shall never call It anything else. I should be ashamed to look our dead heroes In the face when I meet them in another world if 1 consent- ed to put the aggressive war with Mexico on a Ear with the war for the preservation of tbe It makes me so sad to think of the rac-rlle- ge that I have not the heart to write about It. , Your old comrade, l.

Afternoon Consumed in Electing 0(Scer3 Pe- tition to Extend thA Civil Scrtto-Kan- sis City Next Icar. The letie-cale- s, convention yesterday morning devoted a half hour to the Chicago band, composed of letter carriers, twenty-seve- n in number. It is led by Reuben Clarke. The band had arrived on the early morning train from Chicago, and was greeted by members of theconvention, who remained np all night for this purpose. The convention listened with prldo to the excellent mnsio ieudered. When it came timo for the convention to resume its work tho hand paraded the streets, and gave tho Journal and other papers a serenade. Fost-mnst- er Thompson was also honored by such a call. Ho invited the band into his private office, where three selections were given and light refreshments served. The convention received a letter from the Los Angoles branch, extending greet- ings. A resolution regarding tbe establish- ment of a pension or insurance feature of the association was read and referred to the legislative com- mittee for a report in 3893. An appropriation S4G0.03 was authorized by resolution on account of mileage and per diem. A new sot of by-law- s, containing new rules for the government of subordi- nate branches, was adopted. It was ordered that a copy of the bill now pend-ing'i- n Congress upon the equalization of salaries be placed in the hands of each member. An assessment of SI per capita was ordered for . legislative expenses, pay- - abloOct.1. A telegram was received from Cincinnati carriers, thanking the convention for the honor voted to the memory of the late Hon. 8. S. Cox. The carriers of Station F, in Cincinnati, also sent a telegram of con- gratulations upon the action, taken in ref- erence to this great friend of the letter-carrie- rs when in life. The board of trustees, to whom was re- ferred the subject of tho benefit associa- tion, reported two plans. It was finally de- cided to adopt tbe scheme which makes the eligible age from twenty-on- e to rif ty-ii- ve years, and provides for an increase of assessment as the member advances above thirty years of age.. The convention di- rected that the petition reported by tbe committee on the civil-servic- o law, for an extension of its provisions to all second-clas- s oQces, should be forwaided to the President. The petition bears the names of fifty thousand citizens, in every large city of the Union. During the afternoon session resolutions were adopted extending tbe tbanka of tbe convention to local branch No. 89, to Gov- ernor Chase, Mayor Sullivan, the press, to tbe proprietor of the Hates House and to the stenographer. A resolution was adopted authorizing the payment of the expenses of any member of a local branch who shall be detailed to. organize a new branob. Kansas City easily won the honor of tbe next place of meeting, the only competitor being tit. Paul. The Kansas City delegates promised to rival the hospitality shown the convention in Indianapolis. The election of officers was declared the order of business at 2:30 o'clock, and ballot- ing began. V. A. Armour, of Kansas City, withdrew as a candidate for president and Frank . Smith was declared elected by unanimous vote cast by the secretary. John E. Hess, of Dallas, Tex., and J. A. Turner, of Columbus, O.. retired as candi- dates for vice-preside- nt, and Martin Y. Malone, of Philadelphia, was elected unan- imously. John F. Victory, of New York, was declared eleoted secretary, he having no competition, likewise Alexander Mo-Dona- ld, of Grand Rapids, as treasurer. James II. Ross, of New ork, and V. li. Gonzalez jr., of New Orleans, having with- drawn Wilmot Darin, of Nashville, was eleoted chief collector. This left a an executive board of five, a legislative board' and one trustee still to elect. and the ballots were cast. During the count several minor matters were considered, and the stenographer's bill, in partial payment, was allowed. A resolution to sit for a pho- tograph was voted down. It became evi- dent that the counting of the ballots would take the rest of the alternoon, and a recess was ordered to 7 o'cloeHc. Some divertise-men- t was caused by Mr. Hogan,. of Chi- cago, who is . six feet two inches high, walking up tbe aisle with Mr. Wiley, of New York, who is five feet three inches high. Mr. Hogan increased his height several inches by tip-toein- g, giving the couple a ludicrousdisoroportlon. The con- vention appreciated tho fnn, and directed the Kodak manipulator present to capture their counterfeit presentment, which was accomplished amid applause. The convention led at the ap- pointed hour. The tellers reported the election of Edward Dougherty, of Dayton, O., as sergeant-at-arm- b. His opponents were D. W. Washington, Memphis, Tenn., and J. M. Bishop, Boston, Mass. The count showed that only four had received a ma- jority vote for the office of member of the executive board. These were C. C. Con-de- n. Cincinnati; W. H. Hogan, Chicago; William J. Hennesy, Boston, and William M. Slater, Fort Wayne. The candidate receiving the next highest vote was J. II. MoMullen, of Brooklyn. A second ballot for the fifth member was taken, re- sulting in tbe election of Mr. McMullen. The five membors of the legislative com- mittee eleeted are: Chas II. Cutler, Bos- ton. Mass.; Thomas J. Oarrlty, Maiden, Mass.; W. P. Roosa, Elmira, N. Y.; J. F. Walsh. Chicago, 111.: W. J. Morrison, Brooklyn. N. Y. b. E. Graham, of Kansas City, was elected trustee for three years. These officers were duly installed, each responding to the call for speeches. A res- olution indorsing the administration of the retiring president was adopted. The secre- tary's salary was made 400 a. year, and the convention adjourned. The members then formed in line, and led by the Chicago car- riers' band, marched to the Grand Hotel, where the banquet was spread by the In- dianapolis branch for them. Several hours were spent in social fellowship over the following menu: . Cream of Cauliflower. Sliced Tomatoes. - Olives. Celery. Wine Claret. ' Cheep's Head a la Creole, PotAtoes, Baden-Bade- n.

The committee on membership of the Commercial Club, at a meeting yesterday Thej Form the Chief Burden of the Complaints Filed in CourU Another Bunch of Divorce Suits Hosband Who Skipped' Away Trembling Pefore Cadi Ba&kirk. , . Fonr persons who took onto themselves helpmates "for better or for worso," and proved by experience that it was for worse, appeared in the clerk's otlioe. yesterday, by complaint filedv asking a severance of the 'tie that binds." .Amy C. Henderson, in her complaint for a divorce from William A. Henderson, tells the story of hardship, abuse and suflering which culminated in her seeking a separation from a foreed choice. Hhe says that she was forced to marry William, at the age of fourteen years, by his threats to kill her and then . take his own life if she refused to comply with his request; that they lived together four months after their marriage, wbe.i be abandoned her for a year and three mjnths; that during his absence the child was born, and she was compelled to go to tbe City Hospital dur- ing her confinement in order to receive proper medical attendance; that her hus- band provided miserable quarters for their abode in a negro settlement at North Indi- anapolis; that he made but scant provision for the support, of herself and child, whipped her three times and drove horand her child from tbe house, compelling her to seek shelter with her mother. Hho also says that be is a confirmed drunkard, .and has frequently taken their child, a two-yearo- kl girl, to the saloons with him, and, on one occasion, gave it whisky to such an extent as to make it drunk. She say a that she is' now living with her mother, r.t 12.) Virginia avenue, and is compelled to take in sewing, washing and do house-wot- k for her own support. She asks, in addition to the granting of a di- vorce, that she bo given the custody of the child and an order of court restraining the defendant from visiting the house at 129 Virginia avenue or in any manner disturb- ing or annoying herself and child. She also asks that he be compelled to contrib- ute to tbe support of the child. Agnes M. Jenkins wants a legal.separa-tio- n from Jesse W. Jenkins, whom she says she married in 1872. As a cause for the sep- aration she says that he abandonedvher on the 12th day of January, 1SS0, and has ever since refused to live with her. lie fore the CndL A good-size- d docket presented itself to Judge Buskirk when he took his seat in the Police Court yesterday morning., He discharged Harry Hughes on the charge of assault and battery preferred against him, and continued the case against Kid Gil- christ until Saturday morning. Joe Fields, on the same charge, was fined $5 and costs, and returned to the City Hospital. Fields is the man who was shot by patrolman Davidson, last week, while running away from St. Clair's saloon, on East Washing- ton street. And the fight for participation in which he was fined was the cause of his sudden departure from the saloon and the subsequent shooting. Joseph Haas, who was arrested for remov- ing a dead animal without a permit, was fined $1 and costs. Thomas Edwards, charged with assault and battery with in- tent to kill, and Mike Sullivan, charged with assault and battery, were discharged. John Sullivan was held for the notion of tbe grand jury on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. In a three-hande- d tight between the two Sullivans and Edwards in John Sullivan's saloon at 1.01 Hates street, Monday night, Edwards had his throat cut by John Sullivan. Barney Stnmpb, William Geareni and Adolpn Coseman were acquitted of tbe charge of petit larceny. The .three had taken the rounds of tho sMoons last Satur-f- y with Daniel O'Uriett. Later in tbe evening O'Brien complained to the polioe that they had robbed him of $23. Tbe evi- dence showed that O'Brien had spent bis money freely, and before evening was in snob a state of intoxication that he could not tell what became of his money. Wanti Part of That Pension. About a year ago lielfield Marshall, a swain of sixty years and a preacher also, took unto him as a helpmate his present wife, Margaret Marshall. They had lived together at the corner of Eighth and Yan- - de s streets one short week. At the end of that time Beltield, one certain day, hitched his horse to the buggy and drove away. The next time his bride saw him was yes- terday afternoon, when he was brought into 'Squire Smock's court to answer to the charge of wife desertion upon an affidavit sworn out by his wife. Nonstable J. C. Whitsoll found him at No. 1(53 Pendleton pike, where he bad taken np his abode with a son. Marshall is an old soldier and draws $100 per month pension, and his wife says she wants part of it for her support. Clash Between Cpurts, Upon an affidavit sworn out by Constable Sorters, Charles Thompson was arrested upon a charge of assault and battery upon Lizzie Updyke. The trial was set for 9 o'clock this morning in Justice Daniols's court. vWhen the subpoena was served npon Miss Updyke she sartl she bad already been subpoenaed to appear in the Police Court at the 6ame hour to testify in a case there against Thompson for tbe same as- sault. The Question, which was a perplex- ing one, then presented itself, which court has jurisdiction. Both courts - will prob- ably try the case and Thompson may find himselr convicted in two different courts for the same otiense. As one, conviction only can be enforced, an interesting legal fight may ensue. Declined to Acknowledge Her. On a plea of guilty, Gua Hardin was fined for provoke by Justice Daniels yesterday morning. Some time ago Hardin was made defendant in paternity proceedings and compromised the case by marrying the relatrix. After the marriage Hardin went his way and refused to livo with his wife. She made frequent visits to his house, 143 South New Jersey street, in an endeavor to induce him to acknowledge ber. It was in ono of these visits that Hardin provoked her. j Clarence O. Gregory's WUL The will of Clarence O. Gregory was filed in the clerk's ollice 'for probate yes- terday. All the property of the deceased is given to his step-mothe- r, Deborah, and his brother, Alexander Worth Gregory,-i- n equal parts, with a provision that in case of the death of either the survivor shall take the whole.

Just before reaching Hrufner's place Gas- sert pnt his hand back to his hip pooket and discovered that the pocket-boo- k was gone. They immediately turned back and began a search for it, bnt were unsuccessful. Mr. liaumann says as they started to drive away from the saloon at State street, several boys ranging, in atre from ten to fourteen wanted to ride and were driven away. He thinks that tho pocket-boo- k dropped out of Gaasert'a pocket and was picked np by these boys. Gassert has ollcred a reward of $50 for the return of the money.

They were promptly on hand to welcomo the throng of guests and proved royal entertainers. The reception iu the parlors, the danco in the Assembly Hall to the music of an orchestra, and refreshments served all the evening, made it a delightful affair. ; In addition to the entertainment, eaohJ guest was presented with a dainty box of confections, tied with tho so- ciety colors.

He Presents a Table Showinr tbe Grots Earn- ings of Kailroids on Their Valuation. The State Board of Tax Comruissioners ere entertained yesterday with a state- ment from Godfrey Jaeger, general tax agent of the Lake Shore & Michigan South- ern and of the Fort Wayne & Jackson road, which is a dependency of the former corporation. Mr. Jaeger contended that the appraisement of 03,222 per mile for the lines of these properties is too high, and suggested that the company would not think 13,403 per mile as higher than equity would justify. In support of his' position, he said that while the system has increased its lines three hundred miles in the past ton years, com- petition has increased and the average pas-long- er andtreight rates haro decreased, so lb. at the road's gross earnings are not greater than they were. The taxes paid in Indiana by this system last year on a Tain-atio- n of $2,400,000 were $125,000 in amount, or per cent of the gross earnings. Mr. Jaeger pleased the commissioners by tbe presentation of a table of figures, showing the ratio in per cents, between th gross earnings of twenty-tw- o of the leading In- diana roads and the valuation. The per cent. of earnings to Taluation of twelve east and west-boun- d road averaged 0.63.- - while the percentage as to the Lake Shore fc Michigan Southern is only 27. The highest proportion of earnings to Tal- uation in Indiana is shown to the Vandalia's credit, it being 42.6 per cent. The Cincinnati. Wabash & Michi- gan road earns :.? per cent, of its valua- tion by tbe board. These figures interested the commissioners especially because there has been some controversy over the ap- praisement of these properties. Their own-er- a are satisfied with the appraisement, while other roads are claiming that they are appraised too low. The- - commissioners will to-da- y begin consideration of the statements made by the railroads. The sessions will close Sept. 0. 4 At the Theaters. Little Goldie and her company gave a change of bill at the Park Theater yester- day, presenting for the first time in this city' anew play, "Across the Line." It is fall cf stirring incidents and gives the star and her support good opportunities. It will be repeated to-nig- ht and at both performances to-morro- w. The opening engagement of the season at English's will be that of "A Railroad Tick- et," a new musical comedy, the first three nights of next week, for which scats are now on sals. The play is a success and the compauy a strong one. Newton lieers's comedians will play at the Park next week in "Eloped with a Cir- cus GirL" e i - It la Mot e Anap.

THE MONUMENT AGAIN.
The Hostility of the Union Veteran Legionto the Perversion Illustrated.
It is well known that the annualNationalEncampment of tbe Union Veteran Legionwill be held in this oity Oct. 12 and 13. Thecommittee of the Indianapolis Camp is atwork making arrangements for the enter-tainment of the representatives of thisbody of veterans in a manner befitting thecity of Indianapolis. One of the. designsof the executive committee, of which Capt.J. M. Paver is chairman, is to have a"souvenir badge," and a special committee,of which CoL B.C. Shaw is chairman, wascreated to attend to tbe matter. Beingcalled npon for a report of progress, Chair-man Shaw responded in a letter to the ex-
ecutive committee, whieh is of interest be-
cause it touches on a much more importanttopic and shows the drift of sentiment onthe part of veterans. Tbe interesting partof the letter is as follows:
Contract has been made for the delegate metalbadge. But as the committee was Instructed tohave all the badges made with the model of theState soldiers' and sailors' monument struck onthem before wo knew of tho attempt to r rrertthat structure from its original purpose, manyof our own member have declared they wouldnot wear a badge with the monument engravedor printed on it if the desecration already madeshould be persisted in by the authorities. Wohad luviteu the national encampment here, andone of the Inducements ottered was that theywould meet In the presence of the finest monu-ment yet erected to commemorate the sacrificesof the soMlers and sailors who died that theUnion might live. You know we 'have beentaunted in letters from our Kastern cemradesalreud? with the assertion that the monument isbeing erected to commemorate several dlilerentepochs in our State's history of small moment,upon an equality with the memory and tributeto our late comrades of the war of 1861 to 1SG3.
We have already Incured the expense of thelithograph stone, and your committee will awaitthe decision of tho BUto commissioners, the firstof next month, before we Involve the eucamp-ine- nt
with $230 to $300 expense for badges thatwould be a dead loss, because If our own mem-bers will not use them with that emblem onthemlt certainly would not he In good taste tootter them to our visiting comrades as a token.. For myself. I have no doubt but the commis-sioners will remove the objectionable figures andreturn to the original design, as directed by the.Grand Army of the Republic, whese agents they '
are, as well to carry out their comrades' will, asto economically expend the State appropriation,made at the request of the living Union soldiers
' of Indiana and their friends.In a six weeks' discussion there has been no
sentiment developod among old soldiers, or thegeneral publio, compared with the weil nighunanimous protest against the perversion at-tempted. The president (Comrade Langsdale)said at the public meeting held in the State agri-
cultural-room, on the 2d Inst: "You will all besatisfied with the action of the board," whichwas greeted with' applause. And there can bebut little doubt that at the meeting next monthprompt action will be taken to restore the mon-ument to Its original design and- - purpose, afterwhich there Is ample time to complete our sou-venirs. And I trust the chairman and comradesof tho exeoutive commlltee will approve of ourdelay.
Dr. Lucas's TIew.A friend in another State wrote to ask Dr.
Lucas when the soldiers monument will befinished. This Is the reply sent him:
It Is not certain yet that we shall have a mon-ument to the soldiers. The commission have putthe figures 1840 and 1849 -- upon it, and are trv-'in- g
to stretch It out over another war besidethat of the rebellion, so that as a monument it isa failure. They may have judgment enough tochange It, but if they do not, we have no sol-dier's monument, and we shall be compelled tocall It Indiana's work of art and let It go at that,and I shall never call It anything else. I shouldbe ashamed to look our dead heroes In the facewhen I meet them in another world if 1 consent-ed to put the aggressive war with Mexico on aEar with the war for the preservation of tbe
It makes me so sad to think of the rac-rlle- ge
that I have not the heart to write about It., Your old comrade,
l. K. Lucas.
Mr. Markey Stops Up a LeaSc.For some time past Thomas Markey has
been missing brasses from bis foundry onShelby street. Suspicion rested npon J. C.Williams, an employe, and an investiga-tion led to his arreat npon a charge of grandlarceny.

tition to Extend thA Civil Scrtto-Kan- sisCity Next Icar.
The letie-cale- s, convention yesterdaymorning devoted a half hour to the Chicagoband, composed of letter carriers, twenty-seve- n
in number. It is led by ReubenClarke. The band had arrived on the earlymorning train from Chicago, and wasgreeted by members of theconvention, whoremained np all night for this purpose.The convention listened with prldo to theexcellent mnsio ieudered. When it cametimo for the convention to resume its worktho hand paraded the streets, and gave thoJournal and other papers a serenade. Fost-mnst- er
Thompson was also honored by sucha call. Ho invited the band into his privateoffice, where three selections were givenand light refreshments served.
The convention received a letter fromthe Los Angoles branch, extending greet-ings. A resolution regarding tbe establish-ment of a pension or insurance feature ofthe association was read andreferred to the legislative com-
mittee for a report in 3893. Anappropriation S4G0.03 was authorized byresolution on account of mileage and perdiem. A new sot of by-law- s, containingnew rules for the government of subordi-nate branches, was adopted. It wasordered that a copy of the bill now pend-ing'i- n
Congress upon the equalization ofsalaries be placed in the hands of eachmember. An assessment of SI per capitawas ordered for . legislative expenses, pay- -abloOct.1.
A telegram was received from Cincinnaticarriers, thanking the convention for thehonor voted to the memory of the late Hon.8. S. Cox. The carriers of Station F, inCincinnati, also sent a telegram of con-gratulations upon the action, taken in ref-erence to this great friend of the letter-carrie- rs
when in life.The board of trustees, to whom was re-
ferred the subject of tho benefit associa-tion, reported two plans. It was finally de-cided to adopt tbe scheme which makesthe eligible age from twenty-on- e to rif ty-ii- ve
years, and provides for an increase ofassessment as the member advances abovethirty years of age.. The convention di-
rected that the petition reported by tbecommittee on the civil-servic- o law, for anextension of its provisions to all second-clas- s
oQces, should be forwaided to thePresident. The petition bears the namesof fifty thousand citizens, in every largecity of the Union.
During the afternoon session resolutionswere adopted extending tbe tbanka of tbeconvention to local branch No. 89, to Gov-ernor Chase, Mayor Sullivan, the press, totbe proprietor of the Hates House and tothe stenographer. A resolution was adoptedauthorizing the payment of the expensesof any member of a local branch who shallbe detailed to. organize a new branob.Kansas City easily won the honor of tbenext place of meeting, the only competitorbeing tit. Paul. The Kansas City delegatespromised to rival the hospitality shown theconvention in Indianapolis.
The election of officers was declared theorder of business at 2:30 o'clock, and ballot-ing began. V. A. Armour, of Kansas City,withdrew as a candidate for president andFrank . Smith was declared elected byunanimous vote cast by the secretary.John E. Hess, of Dallas, Tex., and J. A.Turner, of Columbus, O.. retired as candi-dates for vice-preside- nt, and Martin Y.Malone, of Philadelphia, was elected unan-imously. John F. Victory, of New York,was declared eleoted secretary, he havingno competition, likewise Alexander Mo-Dona- ld,
of Grand Rapids, as treasurer.James II. Ross, of New ork, and V. li.Gonzalez jr., of New Orleans, having with-drawn Wilmot Darin, of Nashville, waseleoted chief collector. This left a
an executive board of five,a legislative board' and one trusteestill to elect. and the ballotswere cast. During the count severalminor matters were considered, and thestenographer's bill, in partial payment,was allowed. A resolution to sit for a pho-tograph was voted down. It became evi-dent that the counting of the ballots wouldtake the rest of the alternoon, and a recesswas ordered to 7 o'cloeHc. Some divertise-men- t
was caused by Mr. Hogan,. of Chi-cago, who is . six feet two inches high,walking up tbe aisle with Mr. Wiley, ofNew York, who is five feet three incheshigh. Mr. Hogan increased his heightseveral inches by tip-toein- g, giving thecouple a ludicrousdisoroportlon. The con-vention appreciated tho fnn, and directedthe Kodak manipulator present to capturetheir counterfeit presentment, which wasaccomplished amid applause.
The convention led at the ap-pointed hour. The tellers reported theelection of Edward Dougherty, of Dayton,O., as sergeant-at-arm- b. His opponentswere D. W. Washington, Memphis, Tenn.,and J. M. Bishop, Boston, Mass. The countshowed that only four had received a ma-jority vote for the office of member of theexecutive board. These were C. C. Con-de- n.
Cincinnati; W. H. Hogan, Chicago;William J. Hennesy, Boston, and WilliamM. Slater, Fort Wayne. The candidatereceiving the next highest vote wasJ. II. MoMullen, of Brooklyn.

These officers were duly installed, eachresponding to the call for speeches. A res-
olution indorsing the administration of theretiring president was adopted. The secre-tary's salary was made 400 a.year, and theconvention adjourned. The members thenformed in line, and led by the Chicago car-riers' band, marched to the Grand Hotel,where the banquet was spread by the In-dianapolis branch for them.

, . Fonr persons who took onto themselveshelpmates "for better or for worso," andproved by experience that it was for worse,appeared in the clerk's otlioe. yesterday, bycomplaint filedv asking a severance of the'tie that binds." .Amy C. Henderson, in
her complaint for a divorce from WilliamA. Henderson, tells the story of hardship,abuse and suflering which culminated inher seeking a separation from a foreedchoice. Hhe says that she was forced tomarry William, at the age of fourteenyears, by his threats to kill her andthen . take his own life if sherefused to comply with his request;that they lived together four months aftertheir marriage, wbe.i be abandoned her fora year and three mjnths; that during hisabsence the child was born, and she wascompelled to go to tbe City Hospital dur-ing her confinement in order to receiveproper medical attendance; that her hus-band provided miserable quarters for theirabode in a negro settlement at North Indi-anapolis; that he made but scant provisionfor the support, of herself and child,whipped her three times and drove horandher child from tbe house, compelling her toseek shelter with her mother. Hho alsosays that be is a confirmed drunkard, .andhas frequently taken their child, a two-yearo- kl
girl, to the saloons with him, and,on one occasion, gave it whisky to such anextent as to make it drunk. She say athat she is' now living with hermother, r.t 12.) Virginia avenue, and iscompelled to take in sewing, washing anddo house-wot- k for her own support. Sheasks, in addition to the granting of a di-vorce, that she bo given the custody of thechild and an order of court restraining thedefendant from visiting the house at 129Virginia avenue or in any manner disturb-ing or annoying herself and child. Shealso asks that he be compelled to contrib-ute to tbe support of the child.
Agnes M. Jenkins wants a legal.separa-tio- n
from Jesse W. Jenkins, whom she saysshe married in 1872. As a cause for the sep-aration she says that he abandonedvher onthe 12th day of January, 1SS0, and has eversince refused to live with her.
lie fore the CndLA good-size- d docket presented itself to
Judge Buskirk when he took his seat inthe Police Court yesterday morning., Hedischarged Harry Hughes on the charge ofassault and battery preferred against him,and continued the case against Kid Gil-
christ until Saturday morning. Joe Fields,on the same charge, was fined $5 and costs,and returned to the City Hospital. Fieldsis the man who was shot by patrolmanDavidson, last week, while running awayfrom St. Clair's saloon, on East Washing-ton street. And the fight for participationin which he was fined was the cause of hissudden departure from the saloon and thesubsequent shooting.
Joseph Haas, who was arrested for remov-ing a dead animal without a permit, wasfined $1 and costs. Thomas Edwards,charged with assault and battery with in-tent to kill, and Mike Sullivan, chargedwith assault and battery, were discharged.John Sullivan was held for the notion oftbe grand jury on a charge of assault andbattery with intent to kill. In a three-hande- d
tight between the two Sullivansand Edwards in John Sullivan's saloonat 1.01 Hates street, Monday night, Edwardshad his throat cut by John Sullivan.Barney Stnmpb, William Geareni andAdolpn Coseman were acquitted of tbecharge of petit larceny. The .three hadtaken the rounds of tho sMoons last Satur-f-y
with Daniel O'Uriett. Later in tbeevening O'Brien complained to the polioethat they had robbed him of $23. Tbe evi-dence showed that O'Brien had spent bismoney freely, and before evening was insnob a state of intoxication that he couldnot tell what became of his money.
Wanti Part of That Pension.About a year ago lielfield Marshall, a
swain of sixty years and a preacher also,took unto him as a helpmate his presentwife, Margaret Marshall. They had livedtogether at the corner of Eighth and Yan- -
de s streets one short week. At the end ofthat time Beltield, one certain day, hitchedhis horse to the buggy and drove away.The next time his bride saw him was yes-terday afternoon, when he was broughtinto 'Squire Smock's court to answer to thecharge of wife desertion upon an affidavitsworn out by his wife. Nonstable J. C.Whitsoll found him at No. 1(53 Pendletonpike, where he bad taken np his abodewith a son. Marshall is an old soldier anddraws $100 per month pension, and his wifesays she wants part of it for her support.
Clash Between Cpurts,Upon an affidavit sworn out by Constable
Sorters, Charles Thompson was arrestedupon a charge of assault and battery uponLizzie Updyke. The trial was set for 9
o'clock this morning in Justice Daniols'scourt. vWhen the subpoena was servednpon Miss Updyke she sartl she bad alreadybeen subpoenaed to appear in the PoliceCourt at the 6ame hour to testify in a casethere against Thompson for tbe same as-sault. The Question, which was a perplex-ing one, then presented itself, which courthas jurisdiction. Both courts - will prob-ably try the case and Thompson may findhimselr convicted in two different courtsfor the same otiense. As one, convictiononly can be enforced, an interesting legalfight may ensue.
Declined to Acknowledge Her.On a plea of guilty, Gua Hardin was fined
for provoke by Justice Daniels yesterdaymorning. Some time ago Hardin was madedefendant in paternity proceedings andcompromised the case by marrying therelatrix. After the marriage Hardin wenthis way and refused to livo with his wife.She made frequent visits to his house, 143South New Jersey street, in an endeavorto induce him to acknowledge ber. It wasin ono of these visits that Hardin provokedher.

JUL JAIGEK HAS TUB FLOOR.
He Presents a Table Showinr tbe Grots Earn-
ings of Kailroids on Their Valuation.
The State Board of Tax Comruissionersere entertained yesterday with a state-
ment from Godfrey Jaeger, general taxagent of the Lake Shore & Michigan South-ern and of the Fort Wayne & Jacksonroad, which is a dependency of the formercorporation. Mr. Jaeger contended thatthe appraisement of 03,222 per mile for thelines of these properties is too high, andsuggested that the company would notthink 13,403 per mile as higher thanequity would justify. In support ofhis' position, he said that whilethe system has increased its lines threehundred miles in the past ton years, com-petition has increased and the average pas-long- er
andtreight rates haro decreased, solb. at the road's gross earnings are notgreater than they were. The taxes paid inIndiana by this system last year on a Tain-atio- n
of $2,400,000 were $125,000 in amount,or per cent of the gross earnings. Mr.Jaeger pleased the commissioners by tbepresentation of a table of figures, showingthe ratio in per cents, between th grossearnings of twenty-tw- o of the leading In-diana roads and the valuation.The per cent. of earnings toTaluation of twelve east andwest-boun- d road averaged 0.63.- - whilethe percentage as to the Lake Shorefc Michigan Southern is only 27. Thehighest proportion of earnings to Tal-uation in Indiana is shown to theVandalia's credit, it being 42.6 percent. The Cincinnati. Wabash & Michi-gan road earns :.? per cent, of its valua-tion by tbe board. These figures interestedthe commissioners especially because therehas been some controversy over the ap-praisement of these properties. Their own-er- a
are satisfied with the appraisement,while other roads are claiming that theyare appraised too low. The- - commissionerswill to-da- y begin consideration of thestatements made by the railroads. Thesessions will close Sept. 0.
