INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 81.—The house, succeeded yesterday in passing a few bills. Among those that went through were:
Senate bill for remarking section corners and legalizing Lebanon sewer assessments. It also passed two house bills of minor importance and two that amount- to something, the Robinson fraudulent marriage bill and the Davis insurance bill.
Melendy of Steuben introduced a new legislative apportionment bill in the liou.se yesterday. The bill is supported by 30 Republicans who oppose the Wishard bill, hitherto regarded as the probable caucus bill. Wishard has posed as a leader of the majority in the senate, but many who support the Melendy bill say they will never vote for Wishard's bill unless it is amended.
The new bill does not provide so many joint districts as Wishard's, and there is a representative for every county having a population of 4,000 or more.
The educational committee killed the bill to prevent corporal punishment in public schools.
The firemen's pension bill was reported favorably and upon recommendation of the judiciary committee the bill to legalize the issue of court-house bonds of Blackford county was taken up and passed.
The bill to .prevent the adulteration of milk was reported favorably, as was the bill to regulate the sale of agricultural implements.
The senate talked all morning on the soldiers' home bill and finally passed it to engrossment with an appropriation of $75,000. It was made the special order for Friday morning. Daring the morning session Senator Haller introduced a bill aimed at the horse meat industry at Hammond, and Senator Haggard introduced an amendment to the voluntary association law.
In the afternoon a number of minor bills were heard oil seoond reading, and three bills of small importance were passed, namely Senator Kern's bill fixing the salary of judge of criminal court at $4,000 a year. Senator Stewart's bill dividing exemption law so as to make it $600 on homestead and $50 on furniture, and Senator Wishard's bill to exempt cemeteries from taxation.
Sues For Damages.

The Fletchers caused Nixon to be indicted by the grand jury for perjury in giving evidence in a trial brought by Mrs. Nixon against William Fletcher. The case against Nixon was dismissed by the prosecutor, as it had. been brought by a misunderstanding of the evidence given at the trial. Nixon now sues for damages to his reputation.
Died at a Wedding.
WATERLOO, Ind., Jan. 81.—A sad occurrence took place three miles north of this city. At the residence of M. Shoudel the wedding ceremony of Slioudei's daughter to Mr. Gefeller had just been performed, when Mrs. John Hoffelder, wife of the county commissioner, who was one of the guests, dropped dead in t-lie center of the room.

It was reported here to-day that Mrs. Gussie Walker, who went to Indianapolis yesterday morning, left for St. Louis in the afternoon with her divorced husband, Wm. Burris, of El wood.

John H. Binford has received a letter from his son Edgar, who is attending the State University at Bloomington, in regard to the difficulty between the students and militia last Friday. Ed is wonderfully indignant and outraged at the conduct of the militia, as he ought to be, as he together with all the other students believe in the great North American right of expressing our honest sentiments and convictions without being intimidated or assaulted. The students had a perfect right to wear badges expressing a preference for Indianapolis as a site for the State University. The Bloomington people are making a mistake in approving the conduct of the militia as it will be against them in their desire to hold the State University.
A Delightful Party.
Last evening Major E. P. Thayer, ..Jr.", and wife entertained about fifty of their friends at a progressive euchre party.

To-day Mrs. Viola Brown who received $400 from Mrs. W. C. Walker for trilling with the affections of Mrs. Brown's Inis band, sent a trunk and a big box of goods with the latter addressed to ClintMunson Brighton, O., to the depot. Brown got out replevin papers in 'Squire Geary's court, and Constable Patterson served notice on the depot officials to hold the goods and they are awaiting a law suit or another compromise. Brown evidently thinks it unfair for his wife to have all their household effects and the $400 she got from Mrs. Walker too.
