New Laundry Building.

W. R. Gosnell, of the American Steam Laundry, is moving the old Clip body building that stood behind the residence of Wm. Epperson, near the Methodist church, and will move it to south Washington street where he will remodel it into a suitable placo to do his laundry work.

Pleads Not Guilty,

Millard F. Kerr, who has been in jail several months charged with forging his divorced wife's name, was before the court this morning and pleaded not guilty. Kerr is in pretty tough luck as he did not know he was actinp- wrong and was really only securing his rightful property when the forgery was committed. This is a case for leniency to be exercised.

After tlie Bicyclers.

There is a city ordinance against riding a bicycle on the sidewalks, and the city police have been instructed to sec that the law is enforced. There has been 'considerable complaint abouf bicyclers who use the sidewalk in ut*.er disregard to pedestrians, and in several cases the people are forced to get entirely off the walk in order to keep from getting knocked down and run over.

A Mission Sunday School.

The Epworth League of the Methodist church will shortly establish a mission Sunday school up on Plum streetIt will be in charge of Charley Boss who will be assisted by an able corps of young lady teachers. It is to be hoped that the neighborhood, whose Sundays are now descrated by the juvenile hoodlums, will soon be as quiet and refined as College Hill.

A Warrant for Willie,

Jacob Freed is on his fine muscle and intends to make Home howl, and his enemies chew the rag. He swore out a warrant against Will Brush, of New Market, charging him with giving a false age in order to get liquor. Willie will be pulled very shortly, but Prosecutor Moffett is very lothe to go after his bacon. Mr. Freed is now a party to nine law suits all the way from perjury to license.

They Disagreed.

The jury in the case of Tndie Ring which retired yesterday morning was out until 11 o'clock to-day, when they returned with the following statement to the court: "We. tho jury disagree." They had a monkey and parrot time of it in the jury room and couldn't agree at all. Eight good men and true wanted to send Tadie to the pen, but four wanted to return a verdict of guilty of assault and battery only and merely give him a long jail sentence. Neither side would give in, and so all agreed to disagree. The notorious Tadie will accordingly remain in jail until the next term of court when he will be tried again.

THE EIGHTY-SIXTH-

ThE ANNUAL REUNION OF THIS ELEIGMENT IN THISIOITZ".

Complete History of the Organization and a

Sketch of the Life of Ool. Dick.

Tho survivors of tho Eighty-sixth Regiment. Indiana Volunteers, held its annual reunion in this city Thursday. At one time it numbered a thousand strong. Now but a few hundred are living, but in their hearts still burns that tire of patriotism as it did during the dark and trying days of tho war. 1I1STOHY OF THE REGIMENT.

The Eighty-Sixth Regiment was rccrrfited in the Eighth Congressional District, organized at Lafayette during the mouth of August, and mustered into tho service on tho 4th of September, 1802, with Orville S. Hamilton as Colonel. At that time Kentucky was penetrated by the invading columns of Kirby Smith and Bragg, tho former threatening Cincinnati, and the latter Louisville. The Eighty-Sixth was at once hurried to Cincinnati, arriving there 011 tho 7th, whero it was assigned to duty on tho defenses at Covington, Kentucky. On the 20th tho regiment left, by steamboat, for Louisville, and remained at that placo until tho 1st of October, when it was assignod to tho Fourteenth Brigade, Fifth Division, Army of the Ohio, and marched in pursuit of Bragg, through Kentucky. For two weary months tho regiment toiled over dusty roads, marching almost constantly by day and night, frequently skirmishing with tho enemy's rear guard, but never being able to force a battle in consequence of the slow strategic movements of the General commanding, until with half its men disabled by exhaustion, it reached Nashville on the 26th of November. The regiment, in this desultory pursuit and devious countermarch, passed through Bradstown, Danville, Springfield, Perry ville, Crab Orchard, Mount Vernon, and reached Wild Cat thence it retraced its course by the way of Mount Vernon, Somerset, Scottsville, Glasgow, Columbia, and Gallatin, to Nashville, gaining a good goog raphical knowledge of the country, but not much information of the art of war this was to be learned thereafter, on other fields.

Upon the formation of the Army of the Cumberland the Eighty-Sixth was assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division, (Van Cleve's,) Twenty-First Army Corps The regiment was under command of Lieut. Col. George F. Dick at the battle of Stone River, December 31, 1862, and January 1st and 2d, 1863, and the division to which it was attached formed a portion of the left wing of the army, on that battle field. When the right of our army gave way, our division rushed rapidly to its support, and arrived in time to materially check the enemy. It was at this juncture that Gem ral Rosecrans led a charge in person, which drove the enemy for nearly a mile. The regiment lost in this battle, twenty-four killed, and twenty-four wounded a total of forty-eight. The regiment moved with the main army into Murfreesboro, where it remained until the general forward movement was made upon Chattanooga. While at Murfreesboro, in April, Lieut. Col. Dick was promoted to the Colonelcy. The regiment reached Chattanooga early in September, and took an active part in the battle of Chicamauga, on the 19th and 20th of September. The regiment fell back with tho main army to Chattanooga, and was on duty during the siege of that place.

Upon the -organization of the army and the formation of the Fourth Corps, the Eighty-Sixth was assigned to the Third Brigade, (Beatty's) Third Division, (Wood's) of that corps. Upon tho 23d of November a general advance was made upon the linos of tho enemy bosieging Chattanooga, resulting in the battles of Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge, on the 23d, 24th and 25th of November. In the assault on Mission Ridge the Eighty-Sixth was in the storming column, and aided in capturing eleven pieces of artillery and many prisoners. So determined was the onslaught, that the men Bwept up the rugged hill side and over the enemy's works,regardless of commands.

The regiment then marched with its division to East Tennessee, and passed the winter of 1863 and 1864 in long and fatiguing marches and scouts in that country. In the month of April 1864, the division rejoined its corps near Chattanooga, and early in May moved with Sherman's army on the campaign of which Atlanta was the objective point. The reg'ment participated in all the

operation of the main army on this long and arduous campaign. It was actively engaged at Rocky Face Ridge, Resacca Adairsville, Kingston, Picket's Mills, (where Col. Dick was severely wounded), Kenesaw Mountain, Chattahoochee River, Peach Tree Creek, battle and siege of Atlanta, and after a short rest, was dispatched with its corps toward Chattanooga, to watch and pusue Hood. It being the policy of Sherman to drive that General and his army as far north as necessary, the pursuit was not very vigorous, and, upon reaching Gaylesville, was discontinued. The Fourth Corps was then assigned to the com"

niand of General Thomas, and moving northward, the Eighty-Sixth took part in tho battle of Franklin, 011 the 30th of November, and in the battles of Nashville, on tho 15th and Kith of December.

For a short time previous to the battles of Nashville, tho enemy under Hood had boon in position in front of Nashville, commanding its southern approaches. On the 15t.h of December Gen. Thomas assumed offensive. Thomas' line was formed with Wilton's cavalry on the right, then A. J. Smith, Wood and Steadman. Schol'ield's Corps being in reserve. After an opening fire from our batteries, Steadman made a strong demonstration on the enemy's right, tho real attack being designed for center and left. Wood carried the strong works in the center. Our batteries then advanced, and Smith assailed the hostile left. Scliolield came up 011 Smith's right, out-Hanking the enemy, who began to give way. Our right was thrown between the river and the enemy's left, which was hurled back 011 tho center. Wilson's cavalry now pushed forward, and our whole line advanced in tho face of a hot (ire. Tho enemy's works were carried, and I10 fell back in confusion. Night closed the action. Tho next morning the fight was renewed with decided success, tho enemy being driven from each successive line of intrenchments, and falling lack to Franklin. The pursuit was briskly pressed, and the defeated and demoralized onomy driven across tho Tennessee river, when our army ceased pursuit.

Afte% this battle tho Eighty-Sixth camped at Huntsvillo, whore it remained from tho 1st of January, 1865, until tho 16th of March it then moved with its corps into East Tennessee. Beatty's brigade marched from Neu Market to Jonesboro, where it remained until the 20th of April, whon tho whole corps moved to Nnehville, the Eighty-Sixth arriving on the 27th. The regiment remained in camp at Nashville until tho 6th of June, 1865, at which date it.was mustered out of tho service of tho United States, |and at oneo left by rail for Indianapolis. Arriving at Indianapolis on tho evening of the 7th, tho Eighty-Sixth was greeted with an ovation on the morning of tho noxt day, in the State House Grove, and was welcomed by speeches from Governor Morton, General Wagner and others and that afternoon the rogimont was paid off, and finally discharged.
