The flagmen at the ea6t and west ends of the Union Depot, ought to be kept at their posts until eight o'clock at night. Another indignation meeting of the anticanal nniBance people of the Fifth and Twelfth avards will take place this evening. Tne Bernhamer habeas corpus case has een continued until Friday next. Inkstand throwing is an uapronVJble and annoying pastime. Dinner-buckM thieves are becoming quite numerous. Laboring men who take their dinner with the-m are compelled to lock it up or place a gufj-d over it. A he rse with harness on, dashed up West Washington street last evening about five 0'clor.K, at a furious rate. The la6t seen of hlm be "was making headway up Tennessee street. All sorts ot shifts to pickup "little things lying about loose" are now resorted to by petty thieves all over town. Housekeepers will do well to keep a "top eye" open for the Bcamps. Jack Robinson of the No. 6's, returned yesterday from a visit to Cincinnati, where he has "been for a few days, having a jolly good time. Jack says that the Cincinnati firemen know how to entertain a visitor. Aoout ten o'clock last night a row was kicked up at the Atlanilc Garden on North Mississippi street, no&r Washington. There was considerable oise made and rough lan guage used, but r,0 blood spilled. Miss Jessie 'Taggart, well-known to the musical peop'xe of Indianapolis, was married on the 20 ;h or. August, at Paris. 111., to Mr. Frank Groesbevfc a Pulimon" Palace Car conductor. The riarziage was kept secret for several Wf.eis. No ars run on the Crown Hill line ex- - eept on 'Sundays, on account of the Exposition. Strangers visiting the city who are desirous of visiting our beautiful Cemetery will either have to stay over Sunday, or pay exorbitant rates for hack hire. lrofeFSor Black wishes it distinctly understood t tat the date of Albert Parsons' concert U fix d for the 14th of November, and not the l'tth of October, as nearly all the city papei-s Tin persist in having it. He is ready to stake h professional reputation upon it. A jiirard match of one thousand points comes off to-night at the billiard parlors of J. L. Martin, near the canal, on West Washington strecf. The players are Tom White, of this city, and Fred Taylor, of Chicago. Taylor is at present the. champion among the colored brethren i f the cue of the latter city. THE L ATE BRUTAL MURDER. A post mortem examination of the r mains ot the late Captain Jacks revealed a fracture In the skull, 'sy the first blow, three inches in length. Tho physicians decided, however, that eithrr of the blows would have proved fatal A Vordict wss returned by the jury to the effect '.hat deceased came to his death by blows upon the head, given by the men Cope and Wilson. The police are displaying the utmost vi ilance in their endeavors to arrest the murderers. As usual, people who "know It ali," hint that the act was premodita.ed, and that a woman is mixed up in It. We saw yesterday a photographsome said of Wilson, others of Cope; hut whichever it was, it was just such a face as we would not like to encounter in a lonely snorft. unless well fortified with blunderbusses. and with the nerve to use them when in a tight nlace. It represented a short-haired brutal, repuJsive individual. The papers seem deterTinnd thai Frank Fiscus shall have a hand in ihUT-ter. The name was originally printed Trn! tfisena. As the former was at the Jocb .ueeveiterday. it is fair to infer that the it,.. are not looking for him very sharply, We bDe very soon to recori the arrest and punishment ot these dastardly murderers.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THB COUNCIL AUTHORIZES THE CITT TREASURES TO RECEIVE SCHOOL WARRANTS IN PAYMENT FOR SCHOOL TAXES THB ORDINANCE PASSED BT COUNCIL AND OPINION OF CITT ATTORNET ELLIOTT THAT THE USE OF $75,000 OF WARRANTS 18 LEGAL. At the meeting ot tho Council last night, Mr. J. J. Bingham, Secretary of the Board of School Commissioners, presented the following statement proposing a plan by which the Board could be enabled to provide for current expenses during the present stringency of the money market, which the Council received and concurred in: ' ? To the Mayor nd Common Council of the City of Indianapolis: The Board of School Commissioners of the city of Indianapolis represents to yotir honorable body that in ord to upply the demand tor school accommo diUOhs or sittins s it authorised the erection of three eight room brick sttGool houses, in localit es when the? Were most needed, and four mo brick addition to the Fourth and Ninth. Dislrict'ecbool bouses. The cost of the improvements, including payments upon tire tots on which they are being erected, wltK the outhouses, fences, etc, and the furniture ana itoves for the same, will .smnant W atxmt.f 115,000. The additions .to fcse Fourth and Ninth Districts nonets are aont ft sighed, and the other hulldngs are injecd a slate of progress 'hat they will be ready for use at an early day. The school year commenced on the 8th day of September, and the pay of teachers to and including the month of March will average about $8,X)0 per month, making $56,000. The pay of officers. Janitors, and ether employees, from July 1 to and including March, Will mount to about $U,0ifl. The current etpenoes, not included in the foregoing, such as repairs, cleaning school houses, fuel, pas, new furniture, stationery, books, apparatus, etc. lor the same period, will amouut to about $10,ooo. These sums will malt a total outlay of about $193,000 up to the first of AbrU next. .. At the commencement of tile School fiscal year, Jnly 1, tb Bort had in its treasury, in round figures, 10,000. Since then the Board has disbursed on til's contracts for new buildings, for putfa;'a of lots, for repairs and renovation f sv-Xool houses, salaries of officers, wairee of janitors and incidentals, 670,000. Hfaviiif! balance now in the treasury of about $20,000, wliieh belongs to the Tuition Fund aad must be applied in the payment of teachers and for no other purpose. The Board when it aufhorizpd the hoilrling of the three new school nonces and th two additions, anticipated Vti necessity of making a teniptthity nu to meet its disbursements until tfteV-n.V t.tx levy for oio, ojouia r reix7 vwi imra Alondav Of March next, mom e received, and this It would hav b?ett able to do. if it had nok; rWwn for (he financial embartasfment wnr' eiteud oyer the country, making sWrb Joins exceedingly aimcuit to negotiate-, IT hot impossible. In this emergency, whitu the board must meet and overcome, for the schools must not be closed and the improvements in prozress cannot be stopped without great loss, after a full consideration of tte lltnatiun, and with tho approval of vjur financiers, the Beard determined to lese Warrants in the aggregate not to exeeed the sttta of $75,000, to bear ten per cent interest, buyable on or before the first day of April next, in denominations of ten, twenty, flfty, and one hundred dollars, provided your honorable body to give them credit, and make them equivalent to bank currency, will pass an ofd nance directing and authorizing the City Treasurer to receive them in payment for at hool taxes for an a-rount nwteiceeding the sua named, to-wit: $75,000. If tne City Council wl 1 sj order, the astWU will relieve the Board from embarrassment, enable it to finish and tandsh the school buildings now in progress, and meet all Rs accruing obligations. To snow that this request is reasWlc, the Board fu ther represents to ytmr honorable body that the tax levied for school nnrtmapa tnr iai i qk the $100, and as the city taxihles foot up some sixtytwo millions of dollars. thi?l'evy will yield a school revenue of about $216,000. It will be seen by these figures that the Board only asks yonr honorable body to direct the City Treasurer to receive theie warrants in payment of rchoo! taxes to the arhout of about one-third of the sthool revenu upon tile city tax duplicate for this yefth To givo an idea of theiinitude of the school Interests of the it the Board would state that h3 grounds and stnool buildings in its priSs'ion. including the school houses relet erected, at a fair estimate are valued at ,030, and the public library school furniture, allures, apparatus, etc, at $55,000 aorft. maV.ng a total of $61,000. jn uoara iuixner represents to your honorable hoUytbat the annua! increiof srhool rhlldren. based upon the enumeration of school rhlldren ?or a number of years, will require eiicn.ytAr additional school accommodations e'tual to four eisht-room Mbool hOtlseS. Penitlps. tin re are a larra nnmhi-r nf children attending private or independent schools wnu are entitled to puunc scnnoi accommodations, and there are, also, a lame Dumber of children upon the streets who do not attend either public or private schools, growing up in ignorance without even the rudiments of education. 1 he public schools of our eitv stand as hitrh in reou taMon as those of any Western city, if not higher. ana or tnc many advantages mat inaianapous presents, not one is more attractive than our admirable school system. The Boaid further represents to your honorable body, that with the aid it aks yon to grant, it will be enabled to go on without embarrassment, and as tne assistance prayea lor wi l cot ucreaee tne pu one burden, but merely anticipate a portion of the revenue the Board w.ll derive frm city takes for school purposes, it respetfully asks you to grant the relief for which it prays For and in behalf of the Board of School Commies one;s of the C ty of Indianapol s. T B. Elliott, President J. J. Bikgham, Secretary. Indianapolis, September 20, 1373. THE ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE WARRANTS The ordinance accompanying the statement, which is as follows, was then taken up and passed unanimously: Ordinance to aid the Board of School Commissioners of the City of Indianapolis to pay its current expenditures. bKcrioN 1 . Be it ordained by the Common Council of the Citv of Indianapolis, That for tbe purpose of enabling the Board of School Commissioners of tbe city of Indianapolis to pa the salaries of the teachers, officers, janitors and other employes of tbe P a blic schools, the accruemg indebtedness to contractors for the erection of school houses, and the cni rent expenditures of the said Board, the City Treasurer is directed and authorized to receive in payment for school taxes tne wsrrants which may be issued by the said Board of School CommisKioners, not exceeding in the aggregate the sum of seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000). faic. S. The City Treasurer is directed, and it Is made his duty, to cancel the said warrants issued bv the Board of School Commi-sion-ers that be may receive in pament ef school taxes on the day that be receives the same, noting on each of said warrants the date when received and the amount ol interest due and allowed on same, and the said warrants thus received and cancelled by the City Treasurer snail be delncted from the payment to be made to the Treasurer of the Board of School Commissioners for the taxes collected for school purposes by the City Treasurer. bEc. 3. This ordinance shall take effect and be In force from and after its passage. CITT ATTORNEY ELLIOTT'S OPINION. Before proceeding in the matter, tbe President and Secretary of the Board of School Commissioners asked the opinion ot City Attornev Elliott upon the legality of the pro posed issue ot $75,000 of warrants, which he gave as lollows, asserting their perfect legality: Indianapolis, September 89, 1873. Messrs. Thomas B. Elliot and J. J. Bingham: Gentlemen I have your communication of this date, in wnich two questions are asked me. First. Has the Board of School Commissioner power to issue warrants to pay for the construction of school buildings, the salaries of teachers, and the ordinary school expenses? Second. Ha the Common Council power to authorbw the City Treasurer to receive such warrants in payment of taxes levied by the city for school purposes f The law under which the Board of School Commismissioners acts is that of March 3, 1871, and in that law there Is the following provision: "S e. 4. Such Board of School Commissioners is hereby authorized." 'Fifth. To purchase grounds, construct school houses pnrchasc supplies, employ and pay teachers " There is, therefore, a broad grant of power to do these things, and no restriction as to bow payment shall be made. The authorities are very uniform that a corporation empowered to purchase property. or to employ agents may issue wnai rorm oi onngation in payment that may be deemed expedient. In Ketcnum vs. tne city or cunaio, me mure ot Appeals of New York hold "that a power to purchase property carries with it, as Incidental, tie power to purchase on credit, and give an obligation for the payment.'- Many cases holding the like doetriae might be cited. The power of the Board to issue oonos to socure loans, is restricted, and money can be borrowed. only as provided in the eighth subdivision of the fourtnf section or tne aci reierrea io: out issuing warrants in payment of debts incurred in the exercise of corporate authority, is not borrowing money. This distinction is well illustrated by ihe case of Geipecte vs. The City of Dubuque, decided by the Supreme court or tne unuea awies. in mat case a contract was made by the city to pay a sum of money, with interest, to one who had assumed the payment of inureet due, and to become due on the city's indebtedness; and it was held that the con tract was a valid one, ana was noi a Borrowing of money." Tho principle decided applies strongly to the mesent question. I am of opinion, therefore, that the School Board has power to issue these warrants, and thut payment can be enforced. It follows that If the Board has power to Issue these warrants, the Council may authorize tbe Treasurer to receive them in oayment of taxes levied for school purposes. Tbe revenue from taxes levied for school purposes is bound for the pa merit of these warrants, and It is within tee power of the Council to direct the application of it to the payment of tbe warrants Issued by the Board of School Commissioiiers. Respectfully, B. K. Elliott, ' City Attorney. BUILDING PERMITS. The City Clerk has if sued the following permits since our last report: Nich.

A traveler from Pekin to Siberia, across the great desert of Gobi, tells ns that whenever a camel's feet have become very tender and sore from long marches, the poor creature lies down. His driver knows at once that his feet hurt him, and looks to And out it the thick ekin of the feet is blistered. Whenever a blister is found, two or three strong men, -nsually Mongols, keep watch of the camel untt It is not noticing them. At just the right moment they make a rush all together upon the camel, throw it over upon the side, and make it fast. Then, wlu a needle made for that use, they sew a square piece of leather large enough to cover the hurt place over tbe Camel's foot, the skin ot which is quite thick enough to sew through without hurting the animal. With his new shoes on the camel is quite ready to get up and march on. The pieces of leather are very carefully prepared lor this use. It sometimes happens that a camel lies down in the midst ot a long march across the wide desert, and dies. Tbe natives take the thickest part of hla skin .to make shoes of. These bit of skin they takeout day after day, when on the march, and pull, until they become so soft and yielding that a camel with blistered feet seems grateful to have the shoes made ot It, although he would resist the shoeing to the lest, were he not held so that he could not move. The semi-monthly rid on the Cincinnati gamblers is being organized. INDIANAPOLIS WHOLESALE MARKET. Journal Optics, 1 Indianapolis, September 3it, t873. Trade is brisk with no change in quotations.
