AN OMITTED RESOLUTION. Additional Action Taken by the Temperance Couucil at Its Late Meeting. The following resolution of the Grand Tern perance Couucil was accidentally omitted iu the report as published yesterday: “Resolved, That the work of this council for the future shall be the organization of prohibitory clubs and leagues which shall enroll voters under the following pledge and constitution: “Whereas, The liquor dealers of Indiana have avowed their withdrawal from all political parties, as such, and have banded themselves to- { ether iu a body known as the ‘Anti-Prohibition pledging themselves to vote only for such men, and support only such political party as shall openly oppose prohibition . We do hereby pledge ourselves to the cause of prohibition, and to one another our honor, that until our purpose is accomphsned, we will vote for no man for Legislature,Governor, Lieutenant governor and judges of the Supreme Court, who does not openly declare in favor of prohibition by constitutional provision, and other honorable methods, resorting to separate political notion and organization only in such localities and at such times as no men can be found in the field in favor of our views.” The form of constitution for the club was adopted as follows: Article 1. The name of the club shall be the Prohibition Club of township, county, of Indiana. Art. 2. The object of this club shall be to use all honorable means to educate, public sentimeut. and to procure and enforce by constitutional amendment or otherwise a prohibitory law. Art. 3. The officers of this club shall be a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, who shall be elected at the first meeting of the club, and at the first meeting in January annually thereafter, and they shall discharge the duties usual to such officer. Art. 4. All the meetings of this club shall be public, but uoperson shall vote who is not a member. Art. 5. The several township clubs shall be the subordinate branches of the county prohibitory councils. Art. 5. This club shall make such by-laws from time to time as may be necessary. Alt. 7. All voters over the age of twentyone years may become members of this club by signing its pledge and subscribing to its constitution. It was recommended to the council and adopted that an executive committee of five or more persons be appointed to have supervision of the organization of prohibition clubs throughout the State, and the accumulation of a fund for carrying out the purposes of the Grand Prohibition Council. Under the abovo resolution the following committee wa6 appointed: Hon. John B. Conner. Hon. J. N. Huston, E. C. Siler, Isaac Keen and Joseph I. Irwin. THE STATE-HOUSE. The Commissioners Express Their Views of the Wisdom of the Legislature— What Will Be Done. Two of the State-house commissioners yesterday stated to a Journal reporter that there will be no decisive action relative to the existing contraot within the next two months. They intend to proceed with slow deliberation in the matter, and are not disposed to let the public know much about their Intentions, giving as the reason that they “think it not for the best.” In speaking of the published statement that the commissioners were about to declare tbe contract of Howard A Denig annulled, Mr. Nelson said that they had no such intention, and added: “If we declare the contract annulled the contractors would then be entitled to their percentage.” “But is it not claimed that you have the power to annul the coutract by declariug it abandoned on the part of the contractors, without giving them the right to claim their percentage!” asked the Journal reporter. “We have got the power,” replied Mr. Nelson, “to do a great many things that we will not do.” “Then can you let anew contract without first declaring the present contract annulled or abandoned!” was asked. “Yes,” answered Mr. Nelson. “No,” was the simultaneous answer of Mr. Seward, another member of the board, who was present. The difference of opinion bet ween the commissioners was passed without explanation. Iu subsequent conversation Mr. Nelson remarked: “Thus far we have made no mistakes—” “But that Democratic Legislature has,” was suggested. “Yes,” added Mr. Nelson, “it was the greatest of their many mistakes.” “And it is a mistake which will cost the State not less than a million dollars,” remarked Mr. Seward. “Yet there are Democrats who are trying to make political capital out of it,” Mr. Nelson added. _ Amusement Matters. The origiual Madison-square “Hazel Klrke” Company will be at tbe Grand during tbe week of the lGth. Harry Dlxey has been engaged by John Stetson for one year at S2OO per week. It is Stetson’s intention to star him on the road iu “Pasramas.” Marie Prescott has rented the Union Square Theater for two weeks in August, and will produce Oscar Wilde’s new play “Vera” for the first time on any stage. The announcement for the Zoo next week are: J. W. McAndrews, “the watermelon man;” the Twilight Quartet, Charles A. Loder, Retlaw and Alton, James Richmond and Letha Glenroy, the Murrells, and the Loonzo Brothers iu their sensational drama, “Avenged.” There will be nothiug either at English’s or the Grand next week. Jay Rial’s “Uncle Tommers” had been underlined for English's, but their engagement has been postpone,! until the 19th inst. Haverly’s “Merry War” company and Thatcher, Primrose A West’s minstrels are the principal coming attractions at this house. Mrs. M. A. Crabtree has written a letter to a Bt. Louis theatrical manager announcing That her daughter Lotta (Mignou Crabtree) is going to leave the stage for two years, for the purpose of visiting Europe in search of expert medical treatment, in hope that she may recover her singing voice. If this can be accomplished she will return to ths American stage; if not, Lotta will be lost to the public forever. The only legitimate theatrical attraction in the citv next week is the operatta “The Naiad Queen,” which will be given at the Park every night and Saturday matinee by a largo aggregation of local talent under tbo direction of Prof. A. C. McKnigdt, with unusually brilliant scenic effects. Prominent among those engaged in the presentation are Mrs. Leon Bailey r , Mrs. Enrique Miller, Mis Scott, Miss Nettie Johnson and others, besides 500 school children, who have beeq under careful training for three mouths past. Thej-e are thirteen circuses to take the road this season. The London show goes West after exhibiting ir. Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. Forepaugh and Nathan’s shows go East; John Robiuson, to California and Oregon; Van Aiubnrgh’s show, now wintering in Indiana, goes by wagon into Keutucky; J. B. Doris’ InterOcean, Sells Bros.’ and W. W. Cole’s shows, Middle States, and the J. O’Brien show. Middle and Southern States. Burr Robbins takes the Northwest. and the Miles Orton takes the Ohio valley aDd the West. The balance take the cross-roads, and in many cases to the brush. A special to the Jourual from Cbrlsman, 111, says: “A serious accident befel Miss Emma Cook, pianist of the ‘Little Duke’i Opera Company, wnich performed here last night. After the show the party were on their way to the depot to board tbe midnight train, when Miss Cook accidently walked off the foot path into a creek, which was greatly swollen by the heavy rain. She was rescued by the manager after receiving a thorough wetting; but before her clothing could be changed, she suffered from a succession of nervous chills uutil her condition was critical. It was thought best not to leave her behind, so the party proceeded to Montezuma, where they give the closing entertainment of a tour which has been a financial failure.” Postmaster-General Gresham. Judge Gresham, the new Postmaster-general, returned from Evansville yesterday forenoon. A call at his residence last night revealed nothing new. He had no intimation of his probable appointment before it was made, and knew absolutely nothing of how It came about, having been spoken to by no one and having no thought of such a thing himself. It was, as ho said, as great a surprise as though it were a clap of thunder from a clear sky. No further news lias been

received by him from Washington. He is now busy arranging his official business here, and but for that would start for his new post of duty to-day. He intends leaving for Washington on Monday evening, his family remaining here for the present. The Metropolitans. The Metropolitan Police Commissioners eaoh filed a bond for $5,000 with the Secretary of State, yesterday morning. They were in session from 4 o’clock In the afternoon until 7 o’clock last evening, examining applications, and six additional patrolmen were appointed, two of the number, David S. Richards and Aebury York, being Republicans, wbo are members of the present force. The four Democrats appointed were Harry J. Thrush, Ed. F, Buncher, John Schaub and John F. Hurst. The patrolmen appointed now number twenty-eight, of whom seventeen are Republicans and eleven Democrats. Hurst, one of the men appointed last evening, is a colored Democrat. Webb Robertson and Jesse C. Brown failed to pass the medical examination. Chief of Police Williamson announced at roll-call last evening that the commissioners had informed him that the new force would not begin work before the 15th of this month. It is understood that Mr. Malott favors deferring the time until the Ist of next month, in order to give all the members of the new force time to get the new uniform which will be required, and iiave the entire force appear in the new dress when they enter upon their duties. Tde Idea has much to commend it to favorable consideration. The commissioners will meet again this mornkug. The School Boards of Towns. A letter received by J. W. Holcombe, Superintendent of Public Instruction, from A. Nebeker, superintendent of Warren county, makes the following inquiry: “The Indianapolis Journal of 3'esterday states that towu school boards are abolished, and that the town boardß constitute the town school boards. By request I write to ask you if there is anything in this.” The Journal stated in reply to an Inquiry in regard to the matter that there was uo such law, aud that the statement referred to in the foregoing was a communication from a member 'Of the Legislature, which was given publication. In reply to the inquiry Mr. Holcombe says: “In answer to your Inquiry of the sth, I can say that on reading the paragraph iu the Journal in regard to the House bill No. 247, section 94 of which provided that the members of the board of town trustees should be ex-offioio school trustees of the town, I carefully examined the calendars of both bouses of the Geuerel Assembly, aud found that the bill passed the House and was received by the Senate ou March 2d, but uo action was taken upon it in the latter bodv. it is deposited in the State library among the bills that failed The law on the subject of town schoolcorpocations therefore remains unchanged.” A *I,OOO Fire. The stables in the rear of George Newcomb’s and J, W. Johnson’s residences, on St. Mary’s street, were destroyed by fire between 8 and 9 o’clock last night, and with them (Mr. Nowcomb’s) were consumed a horse, three buggies, two wagons, one sleigh and a hay press. The lire is supposed to have been caused by an incendiary. Tho damage, which Mr. Newcomb estimates at SBOO to SI,OOO, is fully covered by insurance in the Cleveland & Adams agency. Mr. Johnson’s loss is small. Ewatd Ransdell’s house, udjoiniog. was slightly scorched. During the fire, Henry Woodruff, foreman of the s’e, was badly hurt by being struck ou the head by a nozzle. Basket Social. The ladies of Roberts Park Church will give a basket social iu the church parlor next Tuesday evening. Each will be expected to bring a basket, in which she will place plates, cups, forks, spoons and a plain lunch for two persons, placing a card with her name in the basket. The gentlemen will buy the basket and eat tiie lunch with the lady whose card he will find in the basket. The church will furnish hot coffee free. Tne baskets to be had at the church for five cents. No distinguishing marks allowed. No More Vincennes Lottery. For several days past the report has been current that a scheme was on foot to reorganize the Vincennes lottery and operate it on an extensive scale. Mr. Smith, one of the men interested in the old concern, yesterday stated positively to a Journal reporter that the story was untrue, and that no effort would or could be made to revive the lottery. He is in the city settling up some business affairs, and his presence here probably gave rise to the rumor referred to. Home Manufactures. It is with just pride we can point to America's success in manufactures, and especially so in this the case with that most durable of all known floor coverings, “Linoleum.” It has so completely superseded the best foreign article that only the poorest qualities can now be imported. In use, the forcigu goods will continually look dirty and dingy, the domestic, bright, clean and pleasing, while the designs and artistic effects are beyond comparison. All carpet dealers keep these remarkable goods, and the Walton trademark, with the word “Linoleum,” is on the back of every square yard of American make. The Best I Ever Uused. That is what was said to-day of the Enamel Faint made at Cleveland, by a party who has had considerable experience in the use of house paints. He clinched the assertion by using it again this season on several houses Don’t fool your money away on cheap paints. We guarantee every gallon we sell. Ask your merchant for the Cleveland Enamel Paint, for which we are the sole agents in this vicinity. Send for color cards. Hildebrand A Fcgatk, 35 8. Meridian 81.
