RELEASED FROM CUSTODY. The Peril from Which an Enterprising Newspaper Delivered Itself. Jarrett Stillwell, arrested for complicity in the Counterfeiting operations of the southern Indiana gang, was released from custody yesterday on a bond of $5,000, his brothers. Thomas and Solomon, and Edward S. Braedenmeyer, being the sureties. A few days prior to the arrest of Stillwell an interview with Robert Hobbs, the detective, appeared in the Boonvilie Standard, in which the secret service officer was reported as having said that there were several members of the counterfeiting gang that had not been arrested, and the astounding statement was made that there were u number of persons who had been regarded as reputable citizens who had been dealing in spurious njoney. The names of several were given, and Stillwell, who is a farmer in comfortable circumstances, wa* charged with having been guilty of counterfeiting, arson and larceny. The article was of a highly sensational nature and appeared in several newspapers in southern Indiana. In a few days the enterprising young editor, whose name is Robert M. Graham. found himself overwhelmed with libel snitsJudgments for the aggregate amount would have bankrupted the New York Herald. Suits were filed against all the papers which had given publication to the alleged slanderous article, ana the whole southwestern Indiana press was threatened with extinction. Stillwell was heartless and exacting, and demanded gold, but finally accepted s<>s from the Standard as a compromise of the suit for SIO,OOO. A few hours afterward he was arrested by a detective on the charge of counterfeiting, arid was brought to this city, where he has been in jail for three weeks. Warrants for his arrest, had been issued for a mouth before he was taken into custody. First National ltank Stock. An actual sale, a few days ago, of a considerable amount of the stock of the First National Bank of this city, at 99 cents; shows that the affairs of that bank are not in a bad shape at all, so that those that doubled their stock at the time of the reoigauization did better than those who sold out. at 50 cents on the dollar. tALJL and see the new goods at King & Elder’g,

THE RANKS ENBROKEN. Conneilinen Benjamin, Sinitliers and Wharton Will Not’ Desert. Yhsterdny afternoon a Journal reporter was delegated to interview Couneilmen Benjamin. Smitliers and Wharton, to get the exact state of their feelings, with an accompanying diagram, in reference to the action of the Republican caucus in constructing the several city boards. The interview with Mr. Benjamin was brief. He said: ‘*l don't know who is doing that stuff in the News. Nobody has talked to me, and I have been out of the city until to-day for two days. I have no grievances to adjust.” Mr. Smitliers said: “I am not kicking at all. I will have nothing to do with anything that will work agaiust the harmony or interest of the Republican party in this city. The Democracy will get no comfort out of me. I belong to no ring or clique, but expect to abide by the action of the caucus of the other night. The News has put me in the attitude of a kicker without any authority from me. I have not gone to the Council on the make, and consequently am not particular about a place on any of the boards.” Mr. Wharton was asked what truth there was in the story that ho would operate with the Democrats in the Council? “I'm non-committal on that subject," was the reply. “But you must have something to say," urged the reporter. “I think I will take my medicine,” said Mr. Wharton. “I'll take it like a good Republican, .and let it go. I don't know exactly what I will do. I want to do what is right, but I have been shamefully treated. Suffice it to say lam doing a large amount of thinking, and will not go off half-cocked. The truth about it is. I wanted to be treated fairly. The boards do not amount to so much, but t represent a large Republican ward and can do nothing for it as I am now situated. The Republican caucus was a fraud. Everything was fixed at private meetings, and neither Mr. Benjamin nor myself were consulted. lam not responsible for what was in the News yesterday. I was not interviewed by anybody, and all that misinformation was pmmpod up by the reporter out of his own inner consciousness. I will do nothiug against the interests of the Republican party, but I have some scores to settle with some members of it. Quote me as saying with Mazeppa: “That time at last sets all things even, And if we do but watch the hour, There never yet was human power, That could evade ,if unforgiven, The patient watch and vigil long Os him who treasures up a wrong.” From all this the inference is to he drawn that peace and harmony will prevail, and the Republican majority iu the Council will remain undisturbed. THE ADVANTAGE OF BLOOMERS. Suggestions as to the New-Fasliioned Dress for Ladies Riding in Straw-Laden Street-Cars. Tobaeco-chewers cannot be too grateful to the street-car company for its thoughtfulness and care in garnishing the cat's with straw in winter. How admirably is the dull thud of the heavy stream muffled, and with what pleasure can the strong chewer now contemplate his artistic work as he looks upon the amber-colored fluid purling over the yellow straw, now fondly clinging, and anon gaily hurrying on; here forming fantastic wreaths, and there hunching into rosettes in the interlacing stalks. There are lady passengers on the street-cars occasionally, and as they stumble over the straw to their seats their skirts drag over these beautiful nicotian arabesques, ruthlessly destroying them. Frequently, with a strange misconception of their offense, these fair vandals complain of the amber gods and their artistic labors. These murmurers must, be discouraged and silenced. The fault lies in their long skirts, and they must give way. Our venerable friend, Dr. Mary Walker, who pants to be a leader in dress reform, has already indicated how this may be done, hut her method is too radical. If the ladies will only consent to cut their garme.nts decollette —from the bottom —the amber gods will be conciliated and their decorations preserved. On very cold days, when the chewers use more tobacco and expectorate most heavily, and when, for those reasons, the company puts most straw into the cars, banking it up to a great height, it will, of course, be expected that the ladies will correspondingly abbreviate their skirts —any premiere dauseuse can furnish a pattern—aud the rare and picturesque designs of our home artists will not be destroyed. These suggestions are thrown out to defeat an intended move on the paid, of some women, who, it is rumored, are about to demand that the street-car company put up a placard in each car witli the injunction, “Don’t spit on the straw,” which would be an unwarrantable invasion of the rights of men, who have already conceded too much in allowing those infamous cards, “No smoking.” to be placed in the cars. It is time to call a halt.

“Dr.” St. John’s Departure. Indianapolis is, because of its location as a railroad center, an inviting uoiu for traveling quack doctors, but these nomads find when they come here that distance has lent enchantment to the view, and the field is not nearly as productive as they had supposed. The crops of fools upon which these charlatans flourish is smaller here than in any city of anything near it in size in the United States, and the crop, light as it is, is not easily harvested. The most recent of these gentry to visit this city was Dr. St. John, who flooded the town with handbills testifying to his miraculous powers as a magnetic healer. He pretended that he came here from New York city, and published as reference the names of a score or more of the most prominent persons of that city. In this list were the names of Vanderbilt, Charles A. Dana and Charles O’Conor. On Saturday letters were received at this office from Mr. Vanderbilt and Mr. Dana, saying they did not know the man, had never heard of him, and that his use of their names was a forgery and a fraud. Those letters were published in the Journal on Saturday. Dr. St. John was at Shelbyville that morning, having gone there to work up business, intending to operate in all the country towns, with Indianapolis as a center. He jumped Shelbyville and came here on the first train, and tliat night departed from this city, leaving a long array of creditors behind him. His rooms in the Bates block were handsomely furnished, and he sold about SBOO worth of stuff, all new. for less than a third of that amount of money, and skipped. He appeared to have been knocked out in one round. The Morton Monument Fund. The following contributions were made to the Morton monument fund yesterday: G. Shover. .. SI.OO C. E.

character said to be equally as good as his Hon. Bardwell Sloto, in which he will appear on Saturday night. Mrs. Florence also has an excellent part in the new play, which is a pronounced success. The indications are those of aVififitable engagement. The Wyndham company concluded their engagement at the Grand last night by a highly entertaining performance of -’A Cozy Couple” and “Where's the Cat?” which was enjoyed by a good audience. The company has made a very favorable impression here. To-night, and during the remainder of the week. Mr. William J.

MISSING GIRLS. Two Young Ladies of Anderson and Kokomo Mysteriously Absent from Home. The following dispatch to the Journal, from Anderson, Ind., was received yesterday: “A ripple of excitement was caused in this city to-day over the announcement that Miss Allie Wagoner, a prepossessing young lady and a member of one of the best families in Anderson, had disappeared from home. Miss Wagoner had been in the employ of J. S. Moses, a photographer, and this morning left home, telling her parents that she was going to the gallery, but later developments show that she took the train for Indianapolis. For some time past she lias been receiving attentions from a young man by the name of Hilt Dickson, formerly* of this city, but now of Indianapolis, much* against her parents’s wishes. It is now apparent that an elopement and marriage had been planued. as Dickson is known to have been here a few days ago. The girl is accompanied by Miss Mollie Michener, of Kokomo, a young lady who has been her guest during the holidays. As soon as Mr. Wagoner learned this afternoon of his daughter’s departure for Indianapolis, he immediately dispatched a description of the young ladies to the chief of police directing their arrest, aud in a short time he received a reply that they had been taken into custody. Mr. Wagoner will go to the city to-morrow morning to bring his daughter home, if possible. He will not permit Dickson to come into his house.” The superintendent of police received no information regarding the matter until after II o'clock last night, when lie was notified by Mr. J. B. Michener, of Kokomo, the father of one of the girls, who was in the city in search of his daughter. He thinks that the girls had left home with the idea that they w'ould obtain employment and support themselves. Last summer, when the Wagoner girl was visiting his daughter, they had talked of coming to Indianapolis to work in a photograph gallery, and before leaving home yesterday morning Miss Michener confided to a friend at Kokomo that she was coming here with Miss Wagoner to take a position with a photographer on East Washington street. It is found, however, that there was some other motive for their leaving home. The Wagoner girl was about twenty years old and rather small. Hes face is slightly freckled and her hair is red. Miss Michener is eighteen years old. rather large, with full face, black eyes, and dark red luiir. The trains were closely watched last night, and the hotels w r ere visited in search of the runaways, but no trace of them could be found. Dickson, mentioned in the foregoiiig dispatch, is engaged in the bucket-shop business, on West Washington street.

Card to the Public. An art school will he opened, under the direction of the Indianapolis Art Association, early in January. The exact date will be determined by the condition of the rooms, which are in the new Plymouth Church, and will probably be ready for occupancy by January 10. The directors made the arrangement for a term of three months only, hoping at the end of that period to be able to improve the condition of the school. Thirty pupils are already pledged for attendance during the first term Mr. Macdonald, of Chicago, has been engaged as the principal teacher. This gentleman bears the strongest testimonials from Mgfa art authorities, and is believed to be exceptionally able, both as teacher and artist. He will be present the last three days of each week, and all the teaching during those days will he done by him. So soon as there are pupils ready to take lessons in modeling, the directors will employ a gentleman most competent in this department. During the lirst three days of each week, Miss Ketcham will be present at the art rooms, and will see that each student desiring to practice during those days lias an oppoatunity to do so without interruption. During these days Miss Ketcham is employed to give instruction in china painting to special pupils in that branch. Lessons in china painting will not be given on the last three days of eacli week. The arrangements made for the opening of the school seem most auspicious. No pains will he spared by the directors of the Art Association to give pupils the best facilities and the best tuition.
