A Bt. L. roiid, that appears to be growing. One year ago it had 104 inhabitants; to day it has 350, with two first-class saw-mills, tile factory, two blacksmith shops, groceries, drugstores, one wagon shop, furniture store, telephone connection with over 200 towns, telegraph office, express office, the largest elevator in Montgomery county, and every accommodation to make a first-class railroad town. It- is located fourteen miles from any better point than Itself, thus being a business center for all the conntry surrounding it. It’is fourteen miles from Crawfordsvllle, fifteen miles from Attica, twenty-two miles from Lafayette ana fifty eight miles from Indianapolis. Wingate is indoed a brisk, busy, thriving place, affording opportunities for investment that are not held out with so good a prospet of materializing by older and larger towns. The surrouning country has a wonderful fertility, and is very productive in all kinds of small grain and fruit. To the south is a heavily-timbered region, while to the north stretches away Shawnee prairie, with a wonderfully productive soil. A fine, large store-room, twenty-two feet front by sixty feet deep, is here waiting for a suitable occupant. It is fitted up for a clothing and carpet room up stairs and a dry-goods store below. There is an exoellant cellar under the building. This eligible situation is hut a square from the depot, and Mr. J. C. Wingate wants a tenant for it—a good business man who will come to the town and be one of the people; a live man whose enterprise will help push the interests of this growing plaoe. THE CITY IN BRIEF. There were twenty-seven deaths in the city last week—a light mortality. Frederick Meyer, who was shot by four masked men one night last week is convalescing rapidly. The Young Men's Republican Club will meet this evening at at their rooms. A full attendance is desi’-edr Before Justice Ffibleiuan, on Saturday, Thomas Reed made an affidavit that his father, Isaac, was insane, but examination developed that •m b was nor the case.

CENTRAL-AVENUE EXTENSION. The Higli-Hauded Proceedings of the StreetCar Company—Laying Track Without Authority. The property owners on Central avenue are in u ferment indignation over the extension being built by the Citizens’ Street-railway Company, and a remonstrance against the construction of the line Is being very largely signed. An appeal made to the superintendent of police to have tbe work Rtopped, but he refused to make any arrests without the authority of a warrant tiled by some of the property owuers, and as there is no one willing to undertake the fight against the street-car company, together with the responsibility of the expense which would bo entailed, the work of construction cannot be arrested. The action of the street-car company is denounced by the tax-payers along the street as an outrage, and the superintendent of police, the supposed conservator of law, is severely criticised for not giving them the protection which they have a right to expect. There is no man, the}’ claim, who can afford to risk the expense or fighting a monopolistic concern, and it is the duty of the police to give them the protection of the law. Superintendent Robbins yesterday stated to a Journal reporter that after the complaint had been made to him, he notified Mr. Johnson, of the street railway company, that the extension on Central avenue was being built without the requisite permission or autlioriiv, and that the company would be held liable for transgression of the law. Mr. Johnson claimed, in response, that there was no violation of law, as Central avenue was an extension of Fort Wayne avenue, and the company already had the right of way for the last named thoroughfare. The superintendent says that he will take pleasure in stopping the work, which, however, is now about complete, when a warrant shall be placed in his hands authorizing him to do so. WHAT COLONEL JOHNSON SAYB. Colonel A. W. Johnson stated to a Journal reporter yesterday that when tbe Central avenue line was first proposed all the citizens on that street, so far as the company knew, favored it, and urged that it be built. Since tbe work was commenced, however, some interested persons had been trying to get the property owners to take some steps toward stopping the work, but nothing had been done besides talking. On Friday Mr. Johnsou said that Superintendent Robbins telephoned him that the work must stop by 12 o'clock. When the authority for this order was asked Mr. Robbins said it came from the mayor, but afterwards he said, so Colouel Johnson understood, that he would stop the work when he got a warrant or a formal order from the mayor to do so. The company received up such official notification and continued the work. When Mr. Johnson was asked hy what authority they put down a line in any street, without first having obtained permission from the City Conucil, he said that the company considered that their charter allowed them this right, and it had never before been questioned. Nearly every new line in the city, with possibly one or two exceptions, had been put down without a special ordinance, and nobody had before questioned the legality of such proceedings. EXPERTS WITH THE RIFLE. Some of the City's Crack Shots—The Hepburn Ititie Club and Its Members, “There’s considerable interest In rifle practice in this city now,” said that crack shot Dr. Alexander, the other day. The reporter asked who the good shots were. “Well,” cpntimied the Doctor, “M. F. Robinson, State agent of the Travelers’ Insurance Company, is one of the best off-hand shots in the country anywhere. Frank Maus, the brewer, is a good shot; F. D. Lewis, of the Frankliu Life, ami Mr. Marott, the shoe man, are both good. Mr. Olt is good. Dr. Rogers, laie superintendent of the Hospital for the Insane, is an elegant shot up to fiv6 hundred yards, and Fred. Heiner is a splendid shot tip to two hundred yards. I think Dr. Rogers a thorough practical shot, and one who understands the rules of shooting as well as any man in the West. I/>wli Walters, jr.. is an excellent shot, and Milton Morris is a first-class shot up to two hundred yards. I think America has the finest practical shots in the world, and one reason the United Btates national team wbr beaten in England was because they had been using windgauges, spirit levels and other fine machinery. I don’t believe niucb in long-range shooting. It is not practical. This thing of waiting fifteen minutes for a shot, nursing the gun, then lying down and tuking a dead rest, like putting the gun in a vise, is no test of nerve and eye-sight combined, as all good shooting is, but merely a test of eye-sight alone. The man who can get a gun down in a hurry, and shoot a deer running, at 200 yards or 60, is what I call a practical shot, and far beyond the scientific shooter. “The Hepburn Rifle Club, organized nearly three weeks ago, is calculated to develop some good practical shots. We have thirty charter members, and propose to lease or buy a piece of ground where we can have our target practice, and our range committee is now looking for ground. Monday is onr shooting day. The club is using a target that gives tbe shooter credit for all he makes, and does not altogether discourage the poor shooter. It consists of an eight-inch bull’s-eye, which counts five; a ring outside of that, twenty-four inches in diameter, counting four; another ring, thirty-six inches in diameter, counting three. The target is four feet wide by six feet high, the Creedmore target; inside counts two and center shot five.” The following is a list of the members of the Hepburn Rifle Club: A. M. Alexander, 1,. C.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 1833.

We here present to our readers a portrait of the bishop chosen by the Episcopal Convention of the Diocese of Indiana on the 6th of June last, and who will he confirmed and enter upon the duties of the episcopate in October next: David Knickerbacker, youngest son of Judge Herman Knickerbacker, was born in Scaghtichoke, N. Y.. on Sunday (St. Matthias’s Dayi, Feb. 24, 1833. He was baptized Bept. 20,1833, in Bt. Paul’s Church, Troy, N. Y., by the liev. Herman Hooker, David Buel being one of the godfathers. The young master, David B. Knickerbacker, received his preparatory training and education in Union Village academy, Wasnington county, New York. On Thursday, April 16, 1849, he was confirmed in St. John’* Church. Stillwater, N. Y. (the Rev. R. B. Fairburn, rector), by tbe Rt. Rev. William Rollisou Whittringhain, D. D., Bishop of Maryland, administering episcopal functions in tile Diocese of New York by the request of the standing committee. The same year, 1849. he entered Trinity College, and graduated in 1853 under the presidency of Bishop Williams, of Connect- • leut. Without delay he entered the general ;

ENCAMPMENT ECHOES. A Denial of the Charge That the Indianapolis Batteries Were Allowed Uufair Advantages. The Columbus Republican says in reference to the artillery drill at the late encampment; “Tbe printed programme was furnished each section one hour before going on drill and they were in honor bound not. to use it, but in the free-for-all contest Section B, w’bich took the second prize, had it twenty-four hours in advance and practiced ou it until midnight the night before and also the next morning. Our boys might not have carried off the prize in any event, but they do object to being cheated in this outrageous manner and then have it said they were fairly beaten.” In connection with this charge the Journal to give the following complete refutation: Indianapolis, Aug. 19, 1883. “In justice to General Carnahan, who fnrnished the programmes for the artillery drills, and to Lieutenant Curtis whose untiring work and ability brought Section Bto its high standard. and to Section B, who by an intelligent construction of the artillery tactics, a practical application and very hard work, made such a good record iu their first competitive drill, the above article I wish to stamp as false in every aoeusation. The free-for-all programme was handea Lieutenant Curtis one hour before the time for drill and not before; mid the live judges, competent army officers detailed by the Secretary of War to come here and mark our drills, were so conscientious about their work that they refused to be introduced to any officer in the camp until after the award of the prizes, and did not even remain in the camp fearing they might, be accused of unfair play,but stopped at a hotel in the city. Bome mouths ago Lieutenant Btansifer, commanding the Columbus battery, asked me to send him two sections of my battery to give an exhibition drill nt his city on the 4th of July. This entertainment was for the benefit of his battery. My men went there with their gunß at there own expense. Several hundred dollars were netted by this entertainment which, in addition, gave the Columbus boys many points in our drill and which, taken advantage of, increased their score at the encampment drill very much. Under the circumstances it is in bad taste for any iriend of the Columbus battery to publish the above statement - , with the marks of falsehood stamped nil over it. “Geo. W. JOHNSON, Capt. I. L. A.” NOTES. It has been ascertained that the battle was fought on the scale of teu feet to the mile. With this in mind the distances were all right. Eugene Wagner, bugler of the Indianapolis Light Artillery, was much disgusted with the action of his horse on the field of battle, which, instead of uashing about in tine stylo when the fight was at its height, quietly grazed near a cannon which was iu a violent state of eruption. The follow!ngorder has been issued: “The executive committee of the .military encampment will be in session at 3 o’pock r. m., on Tuesday,Ang. 21, for the purpose of auditing all unpaid encampment bills. All parties to whom we are indebted must flie their bills with Horace McKay, treasurer, by that time, iu order that they may be promptly paid. “Eli Lilly, Chairman. “S. K. Fletcher, Secretary. THE SEVENTH-STREET CHURCH. Generous Contributions Toward Lifting the Debt—The Dedicatory Services Postpoued. Bishop Bowman preached at the Seventh-street M. E. Church—until lately known as the Pattison Church—yesterday morning, his text being “The glory of the latter house shall be greater than the glory of the former house,” after which an effort was made to raise the amount of money required to liquidate the indebtedness incurred by the Improvements on the church building. At the morning services S6OO were raised, and last evening subscriptions were secured for S2OO more, making 9800 in all. The amount needed was $1,200. It had been announced t hat the dedicatory services of the new building would be held yesterday, but ..t the close of the sermon delivered last evening by Rev. J. N. Beard, the pastor of Central-avenue Church, it was decided to postpone the dedication.until sufficient had been raised to defray all indebtedness Special services were held during the afternoon, and brief addresses were made by E. W. Halford. Rev. J. 8. Roager, former pastor, and Bishop Bowman. Rev. Mr. Black, tnepasrorof the new church, thinks that it would be well near Impossible to raise tbe amount required after tliededicatory services are held, and, therefore, he insisted on the ceremonies being postpoued until the new building is paid for. The Improvements on the building have been very extensive, and it is now one of tbe most convenient and pleasant churches iu the city. The total coat of the rebuilding has been nearly $5,000. ami the credit of the improvement belongs ptinoipally to Mr. and Mrs. Black, who have been untiring in their efforts to secure an edifice worthy of the congregation. The September StwngeiTest. At tbe meeting of tbe Siengerfest committees yesterday morning a large number of letters were read from visiting societies and other parties who are interesting themselves in the coming inimical festival, indicating a large attendance from nil parts of the State. There were inquiries as to excursion rates, and the railroad committee was requested to perfect arrangements with the railroad officials as soon as possible. The banquet committee reported that all arrangements have been perfected for tbe banquet to be held on Friday evening, Sept. 7. Mr. Erncstinoff, the musical detor, reported that during the past week he bad visited Evansville and Terre Haute for the purpose of rehearsing the societies of these two cities, lie found them

REV. DAVID B. KNTCKERBACHER, D D.

Theologioal Seminary in New York city, and took his degree in June, 1856, and was ordained to the deaconute on the sixth Sunday after Trinity, 1856, in Trinity Church, New York, by the Right Rev. Horatio Potter, D. D., Bishop of New York. Bishop Delauey, of Western New York, preaching the sermon. Accepting an appointment as missionary to Minneapolis, Minn., tlieu a frontier outpost, Mr. Knickerbocker married Miss Sarah Moore, of New Loudon, Conn., and they took their wedding tour to the mission field. A church building for Gethsemane parish was erected in 1856, replaced by a better one in 1865 on tlie same ground, and this latter building is soon to be vacated for the removal of the place of worship nearer to the residence center of the growing city, where an elegant edifice is now in process of erection. Rev. Dr. Knickerbacker was ordained a pi lest on July-12, 1857, in Gethsemane Church by the Rt. Rev. Jackson Kemper, D. D., missionary bishop of the Northwest, and has continued in the rectorship of that parish twenty-seven years. The degre of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on Rev. Dr. Knickerbacker by his alma mater, Trinity College, in 1873.

very well prepared for the festival, and the two societies will sustain their excellent reputation. The secretary was instructed to request the members of the guarantee fund committee to finish soliciting subscriptions during this week. 80 far the committee has had good success, but the subscriptions to the guarantee fund do not yet reach the amount agreed upon by the fiuance and executive committees, ami there are districts where no members of the committee have shown themselves. • THE FOREMAN TRAGEDY AGAIN. Superintendent Robbins Gives Some “Pointers” Regarding Persons Accused of the Murder. It Is now claimed that a confession has been made to a minister by some dying person, in which tbe names of the murderers of the Foreman women are revealed, and Detective Britney is credited with having said that upon the strength of the information thus obtained arrests will soon be made. The assurance is given that disclosures will follow which will clear up the mystery which hitherto has seemed to baffle penetration. In the course of a speculative conversation on the murder, Superintendent Robbins last evening remarked to a Journal reporter: “I will give you a pointer. There were three persons implicated in the murder of the Foreman women, and they wore Greeubury Williams, James V. Hough and Mrs. . It may he that there is some mistake about Hough, bat the circumstantial evidence is very strong.” The superintendent spoke with an air of posi♦iveness, and when the reporter manifested some curiosity to know more, but hesitated to question, he continued: “I am telling yon this for your own information, but you may use it if you want to. Sheriff Hess and I would not have traveled all night to have arrested Williams if we had not had very conclusive information that he was one or the inen who committed that murder. The detectives have kept me informed fully regarding their clewß, and from all that I know I am pretty well convinced that Williams is guiltv of the crime ” “And yon ure very positive that he is guilty!” “There is simply a possibility that he is innocent, but I think, and, in fact, hardly doubt that he is guilty. It may be that you are not aware that the grand jury have elicited testimony showing that some of the property of the murdered woman was found in the possession of Williams. He lias been identified also as tlie man who was seen near the house on the morning the minder was committed.” “What is there in the alleged death-bed confession!” “I don’t know anything about it, and I don’t believe there is anything in it. If there was, I believe that I would know it.” Last Night’s Fire. The building on South Tennessee street, below tlie Cleave] and block, occupied by Mrs. Mida J Leonard as a boarding-house,caught tire last night shortly before 9 o’clock, aud was badly damaged. Tlie flames broke out near tlie roof, in tbe rear parr of the building, and It is supposed that the fire originated from a detective flue. It will be remembered that the same house caught fire early last winter, and w r as partly destroyed. At the time it was occupied by Mrs. Ralph Lord, as a boarding-house, and two of the servant girls were burned to death. When ihe department reached the fire last night it looked very much es if the house would be entirely destroyed.but by effective work the flames were soon under control. The damage to the building, which is owned by the Dieter heirs, is estimated at about SSOO, which is covered by insurance in the Home, of New York. The furniture of Mrs. i<eonard was badly damaged, ami the loss will probably not fall short of $1,030. It is, however, insured for $1,200 in the Home company. One of the horses of the No. 7 com pan 3’ was badly hurt by slipping and falling at the fire. A New Industry. The cut of Rev. Dr. Knickerbacker, Episcopal bishop-elect, which the Journal prints this morning, is furnished us by Messrs. Minturn A Mmtiirn, patent solicitors and attorneys, who have added to their business photo-electrotype engraving, a process by which the cost of cuts of auy kiud is greatly reduced. This is anew Industry in Indianapolis, and will, doubtless, attract attention from all desiring to avuil themselves of the advantages of engraving. Local Politics. The Republicans of tbe Twenty-first ward, on Saturday, nominated P. C. Trussler for Council, over 11. J. Ketcham, the vote being 180 to 169. In the Twenty-second ward the Democrats nominated Julius Rciucke for Council, he receiving 138 votes to 98 for W. Reed and 3 for Daniel Haley, and the Democrats of the Fourth aldermanic district nominated Isaac Kingand William F. Reasuer (the former councilman) for alderman. Accused of Stealing Opium. John Fischinger, lately iu the employ of Browning and Sloan, the druggists, was arrested on Saturday on the charge of grand larceny. He is accused of having stolen about twenty pounds of opium, which, under the pr. tension that he was a salesman fora St. Louiß firm, it is alleged that he has been selling lor $3.75 a pound. A Fatal Mistake Would be made not to take Dr. ft. V. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” if you are bilious, suffering from Impure blood, or fearing consumption (soroiulous disease of the lungs). Sold by all druggists.

THE BANKING CO.'S AFFAIRS. Tlie Demand for the Removal of Receiver Lauders, aud Other Matters. On Saturday the committee for the depositors of the late Indiana Banking Company appeared before Judge Walker and formally petitioned for the removal of receiver Landers for the following reasons: 1. Because he la interested in tlie affairs of said banking compauy, in a manner antagonistic to the interest of creditors. 2. Because the copartnership of which he is a member is so interested. 3. Because he is interested in the funds of said concern to the extent of SBO9. 4. Because he is wholly lacking in the experience anil nusiness qualifications necessary to the proper discharge of the uuties of such receivership. 5. Because his personal relations with the members of said banking company are such that he is largely under their influence, and is and will be guided ly them, to the detriment of the interests of creditors. When tlie petition was presented to the court Senator Harrison asked for further time to tile an answer for the bauk-owners ana assignee, whom his firm represented. The court thereupon sot the case down lor further hearing this morning at 9 o’clock. THE LEADING DEPOSITORS. The petition was signed by tlie folowlng depositors, whose claims are for the amounts indicated: Cabinet-makers' Uni0n,51,750.55; William Aufderhide, $1,9U0; David Russell, sr., $2,000; GusV*Y Starke. ssl<; Mary M.

OTHER MATTERS. The Evening News is authority for the statement that the bank’s indebtedness to depositors amounts to $490,000 and that there is only $40,000 in cash ou hand; but to a Journal reporter yesterday one of the bank officials said this statement was grossly inaccurate, although lie declined to oorrect it. Os the $150,000 of First National stook held by the banking company $75,000 has been turned over and the remaining $75,000 is held as collateral by an Eastern banking firm. Mr. E. P. an expert book-keeper and C. W. 81111th, the well-known lawyer, have been employed to assist Receiver Landers in the investigation of the affaire of the bank. Mr. Smith also professionally represents a number of depositors.
