All passenger trains arriving at the Depot to-day came in on time. That other baby of John D. Nicholas' la a boy. Numerous congratulations. Richard G. Williams and Rebecca A. Crouch took out a mairiage license this morning:. The weather is conducting itself with such propriety as to be entitled to recognition eveiy day.

Spiegel & Thorns' mattress factory was compelled to efcut down yesterday afternoon for the purpose of making some necessary repairs about the machinery. Secretary Heron looks lonely in hia old room, and although a little pale from recent excitements, is happy in the reflection that he has got a terrible load off his mind. A meeting for the purpose of giving relief lo the large numbers cf unemployed persons, is appointed for next Friday evening, at 1i 'clock, at the Boord of Trade rooms. The Ladies' Society for the Relief of the Poor acknowledge the receipt of contributions from individuals aggregating $210 An election of officers for the 8ociety will take place this atterncon, at 2 o'clock, at Mrs. McKernan's, Circle fctreet. The statement in the Morning Journal that Mr. W. H. Enelish wae appointed on the Committee on Resolution, at the meeting of bu- iness men, last night, to consider matters touching the monetary crisis, is an error. M r. E. desires us to say that he is not on that Committee. The nineteenth aoniversay of the Y. M. C. A , at Meridian 8treet church last evening, was well attended. Preident Sedgwick's address was quite lesgthy, going over the whole ground. The Association is now reported out of debt, with a small balance in the treasury. Dr. Naylor, Dr. Withrow and C. P. Jacobs addressed the meeting, while the choir furnished excellent music. The exercises were interesting throughout, and long to be remembered. The year opens with bright prospects for doing good.

Elder Thomas will preach at the Jadson Baptist church to morrow evening, at half-past seven o'clock. ver thirty loads of gooi-lcoking wood were awaiting buyers on the East Market space, to-day, at 2 o'clock.

The Masons, Knlahts of Pythias, and United Order ef American Mechanics turned out in force this morning, to attend the funeral of T. A. Means, and made a splendid display. As an evidence of the benefits of life insurance, we may state that Mr. Means had $18,000 on his life, $3,000 of whica was in the Masonic Mutual. ABOUT THE COURTS. The trial of Lorenzo Kemp, as accessory after the fact to the murder of Captain Jacks, is still on trial in the Criminal Cpurt. This morning, C. E. Pettitt, formerly boss trickmason on the government building, was called by the State and questioned concerning the relative ages of Cope and Wilson, the murderers, and the defendant, Kemp. He stated that he did not think there were five years' difference in their ages. He was then asked whether any of the parties named bore toward each other the relations of grandfather and grandson, orof father and son, tie object being, on the part of the State, to preclude the defense of consanguinity. The admission of the evider.ee was strongly contested by the defense, the witness not being aware, of his own knowledge, that any such relationship existed, aid otjictiocs being urged to questions upon presumption of fact. The matter wes argued until the noon recess, when the Court took the matter under advisement, promising a decision upon the re-assembling of Court at 2 p. m. Judge Perkins in Room No. 1, of the Superior Court, rendered the followiag judgments: Woollen & Ruddell vs. John Belo-, et a'. tttO 62. Adam Hereth, et al. vs. Win. M. Jones, $317 83. David A.

Tomlinson, et al. vs. The Indianapolis, Bloomington and Western Kailway, for damages sustained upon said read, is on trial before a jury. This case was decided some time 6lnce, with a verdict for plaintiffs, but a new trial was granted by Judge Newcomb, in consideration of the heavy damages assessed. In Judge Blair's Room, No. 3, the case of R. J. Bright vs. the Indianapolis Sentinel Company is still on trial. Ia the Civil Circuit Cour the case of Ell W. Farmer vs. the city of Indianapolis, for damages sustained by failing istothe Illinois street tunnel several months ego, is on trial before a jury. n THE MEETING LAST NIGHT. The second adjourned meeting of business men last night, at the Criminal Court room, was numerously attended, and all seemed to have a realising sense of the importance of doing something to relieve, if possible, the present monetary troubles. There were about as many different opinions in regard to the best plan for doing so as there were persons present. James Buchanan, Erq , and Mr. David Gibson each presented a series of resolutions, wklch were discussed at length by a number of persons. A committee on res olutions was finally appointed, and the meeting adjourned to meet again this evening, at the same place, at 7 o'clock. THE VIRTUES OF OIL OP VITRIOL. Some learned pundit recommended Will Mason, of the Po6t-office, whose favorite dog was afflicted with some kind of disease of the cuticle, to try the effects of an external appli cation of oil of vitriol and lard mixed. Will tried it; but either the substances were not al lowed to become thoroughly mixed, or the oil of vitriol was "powerful strong," for in an in. credibly short time, the poor animal was baked to a consistency that would baye made a halfstarved Greenlander's mouth water. In a word, the unfortunate dog was burnt to a crisp, and poor Will is grieving for his untimely death, and regretting the expenditure of stamps for fiery liquid. SEEING THE ELEPHANT. A young man from Eel River Township, Hendricks County, drove into the city yester day afternoon with a load of apples. After selling out to good advantage, he concluded he would remain in the city all night and see what was to be seen. He did so, and the result was plainly visible upon his face this morning. From appearances he ha seen a great deal more than he at first anticipated. Besides be ing fearfully bruised and battered, his clothing soiled and torn, his eyes bloodshot, and his nose flattened out like a flapjack, he was minus just eleven dollars and fifty cents which had been stolen over and above the total expenses of his spree. WORK OF THB " FIRK BUGS " The stables of Mr. Schutzen and Dr. B. Wood were set on fire last night, but, luckily, the damage was slight in both cases, the Fire Depsrtment soon extinguishing the flames. The first named was on East, just south of South street; the other, on the allev north of Washington, between East and Libeity streets. It is a pity these incendiary villians cannot get the fullest measure of 'condign,' aa old Recorder Ricker used to say. DOGORAMA. Considerable excitement prevailed in the neighborhood of Ohio and Missouri streets, yesterday afternooa. Nine dogs, belonging to one house, which have heretofore lived in a peaceable, quiet way, disagreed, among themselves, and there is n telling what the result would have been had not the landlady come to the rescue. The way she slashed dogs about was astonishing. "Tail holts" were as good aa any, and for about five minutes the air wai black with d?gs.

TOE TRICKS OF TOE INTELLIGENT COM POSITOR,

This illustrious individual Is responsible for a good deal of superlative deviltry, but if he has the proper degree of ambition, and is more over indoctrinated with a leaning toward woman's rights, he can raise a muss in the reportorial camp by leaving "out" anything that gives prominence to his own sex. Yesterday, for example, in a notice of a proposed enter tainment for the benefit of the poor, we wrote "appeals to the heart of every good man and woman in the community;" but the compositor wasn't to be fooled Into recognizing the existence of such an institution as a heart in any other than the softer sex, so he let the women carry off all the glory. Fully sympathizing with his admiration for the feminine portion of cre ation, we must say that he gives evidence of being cruelly prejudiced against his own sex. MAYOR'S COURT. Charles A. Colley was adjudged a vagrant, and recognized to the Criminal Court Andrew J. Sloan was dismissed from a charge of provoke. Wm. C. Dailey and Joseph Hughes were assessed for drunkenness, and William Morrison and Jehn Murphy dismissed. The tnal of Bud Stewart, the drunken rowdy, who assisted in battering and bloodying Robert Andrews so badly, yesterday, and that of Robert himself, on charges of assault and battery and drunkenness, were deferred until tomorrow. ' LOCAL MATTERS. Wakn Cromwell dissolved Parliament he advised every member to go to Alexander & Craig's and buy a box of candy for the loved ones at home 146 East Washington street. m These is a life insurance agent out in Nebraska who complained all summer of dull times, a few days since was arrested for having four wives, his marriage to No. 1 having taten place only three months previously. Taggart Brothers never complain of dull times, their famiiy bread always sells. Oca holiday boxes and novelties for filling with candy, have arrived. For cheap and handsome presents for Churches, Sunday 8choo!s and families, they are unexcelled. Alexander & Crate, No. 14 East Washington street. A Trenton woman dreamed of beicz snrrounded by hissing snakes, and she struck out with such force as to break her arm against the walL Unpleasant dreams are avoided by sleeping on a WKkens Spring Mattress. Ocb new crop of French fruits are now in, apricots, cherries, green gages, pears, etc., at prices fully as low as last season, notwithstand ing their advance in other cities. Alexander A Craig, 14 East Washington street. Persons desiring to lay in their winter apples should see the fine varieties of Wm. C. Langdon, who has just opened a commisblon house at 1S7 East Washington street, has on sale, and is selling at a lower figure than any house in the city. "Where shall I put this paper so as to be sure of seeing it to-morrow?" inquired Mary Jane of her brother Charles. "On the lookingglass," was her brother's reply. Where shall I find the , Crumbs of Comfort? At any of the first class groceries. An old woman in Opelousas, La., wha had b?en robbed by two masked men of $2,000, and forced to make some coffee for the thieves, dropped a dose of strychnine in their cups and got her money back. You always get the value of your money if you buy your groceries of Harlan. A Terrb Hack girl swears fluently in three languages. Indianapolis srirla don't swear, but they do use Perry's toilet articles freely. When Eve terapted Adam with an apple he thought that he would have preferred a box of those choice confections from Alexander &' Craig, 14 East Washington. Louisa Alcott's mother says: "I am 73, but mean to get to the polls before I die, even if my three children have to carry me." Grocer Coora 15 West Washington street, says he will sell as many groceries for a dollar as you can conveniently carry home. Dart Rick advertises that old maids can visit his show at half price, but he never had a fe male call for a half-price ticket. Bartholeme w & Son, 98 East Washington street, are not selling boots and shoes at half-price, but they are selling so cheap that they have a large number of calls for them. Si - A melting sermon being preached in a coun try church, all wept, except one man, who, being asked why he did not weep with the rest? "Oh," said he, "I belong to. another church." Don't care what church you may belong to, Carr & Sons' fall style hats will make you look like a gentleman. i Josh Billings says: "There ain't ennythlng that will kompletely kure lazyness, but a second wife has been known to hurry it some." The Climax Baking Powder raises biscuits in a hurry, for it is pure. A xan out West brags that all the furniture and flooring of his house 1s made of live oak, but bis wife, who does the hard work of the house, says it's nothing but scrub oak. Chase, No. 15 South Meridian street, brags on the Head Light Oils. They do give a cheerful light. HI These cool mornings are suggestive of com ing winter and need of a comforting fire. The coal sold by Cobb, Brash am & Co., office 17 Virginia avenue, yards corner of Christian avenue and the Peru railroad, makes a hot, comfortable fire. No city can now boast of any advantages over us in the matter of pure fresh candies, manufactured every morning by Alexander & Craitr. Their novelty boxea are a sensation.
