STATE NEWS AND GOSSIP. Asbury Trustees Complete the Work of Changing the .School’s Name. Remarks of President Martin at the Jubilee Lust Night—lnteresting Attachment Suit at Muncie—Gleanings. • INDIANA. Completion of tlie Work ol Changing tlie Name of Anbury l T niv*rsity. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Greencastle, Jan. 17. —The joint board of trustt'es and visitors met in adjourned session on Wednesday afternoon of this week, and have been in almost continual session ever since. Many and important questions called for consideration and adjustment, and more than once the skies looked a little dark and threatning. It was not until late on Thursday that tlie local committee of Greencastle and the corresponding committee of the board were able to come to a satisfactory understanding. Early in the session a report was made from Dr. Geo. Manners, formally relinquishing on his own part and on part of his wife, all claim for the annuity allowed them on the $15,000 contributed by them early in the enterprise. Resolutions highly appreciative of this most generous act were passed by a rising vote of the board and ordered to be conveyed to Dr. Manners. This is the more noble on his part as only a short before ho had given SIO,OOO. It was ordered that the chair of Latin hereafter be known as the “George Manners professorship of Latin language and literature.”

An important communication was also received through Rev. Dr. Holliday, from Robert McKim, of Madison, expressing his purpose and renewing his pledge to build and equip an astronomical observatory. In this case the following action was had: Resolved, first—That the thanks of the board is due and hereby tendered to Robert McKim, for his generous offer to erect and equip an astronomical observatory in connection with the university. Second—That we invite Brother McKim to go forward with the work at as early a day as may be convenient for him, and that the structure be known as the McKim Observatory.” Third—That a oonv of this action, duly certified, be sent to Brother McKim, at Madison. The leading features of the final compact between Hon. W. G. DePauw, the board and the citizens of Greencastle will, no doubt, be published in full and officially, before long. It is enough to say that the fullest satisfaction is felt and expressed by all parties in interest. The hope and belief of a grand future for- DePauw University is universal. This evening the change in name from Asbary to DePauw was celebrated in grand style. Moharry Hall was filled to overflowing and the enthusiasm of the audience knew no bounds. The programme, as it appeared in to-day's Journal, was carried out in detail, after which tlio board of trustees and visitors were tendered a most elegant reception in the literary halls • below. The following remarks by President Martin were made at the beginning, and may be regarded as the key-note to the whole proceeding: “The present session of the joint board of trustees and visitors is one ever to be remembered. The good work that has been and is being done by the university, and the issue of the great enterprise for its further enlargement, this day so '"happily consummated, call for special acknowl edgment. It has, therefore, been deemed appropriate by the faculty, by the citizens, and by the students that this reception be tendered to the hoard and to its honored president, our friend and patron, Washington 0. DePauw. For the last few years the increase of the endowment and the elevation of the institution from a university in name to a university in fact, in which, besides the college of liberal arts, the several departments of theology, law, medicine, the fine arts, pedagogy, shall be properly provided, has been lying with special weight upon the hearts, and lias occupied the heads and hands of all its friends. Founded in the faith and love, and nurtured by the prayers, contributions, and sacrifices of tne fathers—to whom, under God. let all honor be reverently paid—the university has passed through and accomplished a noble work during tlio period of its infancy and youth. It has steadily developed in all the elements of power and promise of greater usefulness. In its liberal provision for instruction and study: in its unsurpassed order of discipline; in its eminently catholic spirit; in its special adaptation to tlio wants of our people; in its progressive- /character, and in the high standard of nioral culture which has so largely characterized its students, it has attained and maintained au enviable reputation. And with a past record of almost unexampled prosperity, now that it is entering upon this new era of still grander work, have we not reason to rejoice and be glad? “ 'We are living, we ave dwelling Tu a great and wondrous time; In an age on ages telling To be living is sublime.’ Surely of us may it be said, as it was said by the Groat Teacher to his immediate followers: ‘Blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear. For verily 1 say unto you, many prophets and righteous men desired to see those things that ye see and have not seen them, and to hear those things that ye hear and have not heard them.’ What others saw and hoped for in the far distant future was theirs to witness in its accomplished reality. As He taught tlie ignorant, healed the sick, and rescued the law from the vain traditions which made its sublime deliverance of lione effect, it was their blessed privilege to see, to hear, and to bo on terms of blessed intimacy and most loving friendship with tlio Lord’s Anointed; and in the spirit of His grace, and in the institutions of His house, and in the line of his followers, does He not still most literally manifest His presence? and accomplish the good pleasure of His will? For what other puipose has this university been created? Will not the work of in struction bo carried on here in the department of letters, and in the other departments? Wi 11 not the gifts of healing in their most enlightened and benilieent forms be supplied from the college of medicine? Will not the very best attention be given to both the letter and the spirit of the law in the department organized for that end? And will not lie, who employed the lilies of tlie field and the winds and waves to illustrate His wisdom, love, and power, be pleased to see, in substance, the same work still prose cuted with the aid of telescope in the vast, and the microscope in the minute, and all the appliances which art and science furnish in onr day? You see. my friends, how the subject naturally and easily opens out before us, and you may, perhaps, imagine the strong temptation which your speaker feels to enter on it: but time is short, and duty to those who are to follow compels me to subside.” President .Martin closed by expressing, on behalf of his colleagues in the faculty of instruction, their deepest and most sincere acknowledgements to the noble minded and liberalhearted men, who, from many places, far and near, have contributed and co-operated in tlie good work, and especially to him to whoso munificent gifts and financial foresight they are mainly indebted for the jdeasure of the occasion, and whose name and generous deeds it will henceforth worthily commemorate. The trustees are now engaged in inspecting land suitable for the erection of dormitories, an observatory, and the other buildings required for the needs of the DePauw University. Alleged Business Irregularities. Special to tlie ludianapolis Journnl, Munche, Jan. 17.—The suit in attachment against tlie so called firm of B. Smith & Son w as called in court to-day, and i eliciting a great deal of interest. A few weeks ago this firm, dealers in dry goods, failed, witfi liabilities of $25,000. Tlie preferred creditors were chiefly residents of this city, of whom they had borrowed money with which to conduct business.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1884.

To these parties a mortgage on the stock was executed, which was thought to mako good the claims of preferred creditors. This was signed only by B. Smith, the senior member of what was supposed to bo tlie firm, he asserting that his sou, Arthur Smith, was not a partner in the business. Soon after, foreign creditors attached the goods to secure claims held against the insolvent house, and the property fell into the custody of the sheriff. The object of the trial now in progress is to test the right of property. Tlie attachees, through their attorneys, allege that Arthur Smith was a member of the.firm, and that a mortgage made without his signature is invalid, and should he set aside. They claim to have abundant proof to show that he was a partner, and that his dis-"lr-iming this is for the purpose of protecting his individual property. Should the case be decided in favor of the plaintiffs and the mortgage declared null and void, the assets will not pay more than 25 per cent, of the liabilities. Death of Rev. D. D. McKee.

Goodwin, proprietor of the Junction House, and Hit squarely in the face with a heavy iron poker that Goodwin wielded with brutal force. The wound inflicted is a dangerous one, and as the assault was wholly unwarranted, popular sentiment has been aroused in favor of Willis, who is a mere boy. Willis sustains a fracture of the nose, and the flesh on his right cheek was literally sloughed off by the force of the blow. Goodwin w r as held in SI,OOO bail. Probably Fatally Burned.

BANQUET TO SENATOR FAYNE. A Democratic President and the Offices the Only Civil-Service Reform Desired. Columbus, Jan. 17. —Senator-elect Henry B. Payne spent tho day in calling on Governor Hoadly and visiting the State departments. He, to-night, at the Neil House, tendered a banquet to the members of tho Legislature and State officers, to which invitations were limited, not more than 200 being included. A reception was held in the earlier part of the evening, aud many people called to extend congratulations. Very few of those were present who managed Mr. Payne’s contest for the senatorship. Tho banquet was a rare spread and perfect in detail. Numerous speeches were made, but all eyes wereou the distinguished visitor when he was called. In his preliminary remarks, Senator Payne said that he considered his election a high compliment to Hie Democrats of Northern Ohio and their loyality to the party. In the course of his remarks on the civilservice law, he said it was like trying to clean Augean stables with a tooth-brush; that the only remedy for a service which has been under control of the Republicans for the past twenty years and all the offices fillod, from the highest to the lowest, by representatives of that party, was to elect a Democratic President. This would be the only complete and radical remedy. He favored a tariff for revenue, limited to the necessities of the government, economically administered, and so adjusted as to encourage productive industries at home and afford a just compensation to laborers without fostering monopolies. His Hianks to the members of the General Assembly for the high honor was most hearty. AFFAIRS AT THE CAPITAL. [Concluded from First Page.] This evening the convention sat until a late hour, discussing the bill and the amendments proposed. Most of the latter were agreed to. Tlie convention finally decided to submit to Congress the Lowell bill, as amended. A resolution was also adopted directing each of tho commercial bodies represented at the convention to urge the bill adopted by the convention upon the attention of tlie senators and representatives of their respective districts. A Dissatisfied Democratic Statesman Talks. National Republican. * Cox isn’t the only discontented one. Joe Blackburn is known to be filled with wrath at Carlisle’s position in the senatorial fight. Holman is mad because Carlisle put him at the foot of tho Democratic members on the appropriations committee. Belmont is still sore over his defeat for the chairmanship of the foreign affairs committee, and lie blames Hewitt as much as Carlisle for that discomfiture. Springor is as mad as auy of them, and lias better reason for his wrath than any ofthe others. Randall doesn’t take kindly to the MorriSou-Carlislo halter, and there are some other people in the same sibilation. A good, active conciliator, who doesn’t drink or swear, can get steady employment over on our side of the House for several months. Judicial Appropriation Bill. Washington, Jan. 17. —Tho sub-committee of tho House committee on appropriations iu charge of tho legislative and judicial appropriation bill, met to-niglit to look oyer tlie estimates.

Mississippi Iti\cr Debate in Congress. General Browne, of Indiana, advocated the outlet system, and characterized tho commission plan as the colossal waste and extravagance of the age.

Philadelphia Record. America is slow to resentment, but she is beginning to retaliate upon tlie English public in tho matter of lecturers. Henry George is pulling tlie tail of the British lion in a most distracting way. Dr. Holmes is soon going over. He will probably be accounted a set-oil for Matthew Arnold. It Is proposed to wipe out the indignity brought upon us by Oscar Wilde by retorting with Sitting Bull, if S. B. can be persuaded. Morton from a Democratic Point of View. Cincinnati News Journal. Judged by his own peculiar line and in his own field, he must be rated as a man of a superior manly fiber, stubborn convictions, stern courage, and vast executive ability at a time when these were most needed and. when they accomplished much that was of permanent, value, notwithstanding inevitable blunders, which belonged to tho times aud not to any man. The Kind of Machine Needed. Bloomington t III.) rantagraph. We want nothing but tho people’s favorite in 1884. A broad machine, whose strength is the Union, whose fabric and structure is the people.

No matter if it be not painted and gilded like onu of the private patterns, just so it have accommo , dations for all, and not for two or a half-dozen 1 ! only. It must have ample room for hitching all the people on the front. The machine this year that is constructed to be run by a few, while all the rest are led in the rear, will come to ruin. It will land the drivers and the party over the fence and outside of the field. Next to seed corn we should be careful this spring in the selection of political machines.

GEORGIA’S ELECTRIC GIRL. She Makes tlie Furniture Gyrate and lifts; Several Hundred Pounds Without Effort. Atlanta Constitution. Mr. Hurst laid an ordinary chair upon tho floor on its back. “Lula, put vour hand on it,” said he. The young lady stooped down, put the tips of two of her fingers to the back of the chair and immediately the piece of furniture began to back around the room at a lively rate, as if slid along by some unseen power. The chair was then stood up and Mr. Ponder and I asked to hold it to the floor. Ponder took one side and I tork tlie other. We put our whole force to work to keep it still. Miss Hurst placed the palms of her hands on the back of the chair, and it was soon flying around the room, overpowering both of us, creating a big stir and neariy knocking us down. Miss Hurst then took the chair and placed both hands under tho perforated bottom with j her palms uppermost. She took no hold on it, but simply let it rest on her hands, as a servant might have carried a waiter of flowers. Thus tlie - legs of the chair were about three feet from the floor and the seat about four and a half. Ponder and I attempted to put it on the floor, using all our might and strength to do so, but tlie chair would not down. It continued to rise and fly around in tlio air with the newspaper men swinging on each side. Mr. Hurst, a man weighing nearly 200 pounds, then got up into the chair and sat there as calmly as if ho were a boy sitting on a gate post. Thus Miss Hurst supported the combined weight of the three. The total weight which she thus supposed on the palms of her hands was nearly 500 pounds, or much more than the weight of' two barrels of flour. It was indeed astonishing, ©specially in view of the fact that not a muscio twitched and the slightest flush did not mantle her cheeks. She was as calm and unconcerned as if she had been twirling a summer hat by its string. ' Does it not tire yon?” I asked. “Not at all," she replied. “Do you feel any peculiar sensations?” “None whatever.’* “Doesn’t it strain you?” “Indeed, if this were a cane-bottom chair you w r ould not see the slightest strain on the delicate canes.” “What do you think of it?” “I don’t know anything about it.” I took a heavy hickory walking stick and caught it near one end. Mr. J. N. Brown, of Chattanooga, caught beside me: Mr. J. W. Hinton, of Social Circle, and Mr. B. M. Cornell, of Goshen, Ind., took the other side Each couple faced the other. We held on with both hands, the stick firmly pressed against each man’s chest. To my loft the end of tlie stick projected a foot. Miss Hurst stepped up to it, raised both hands and touched tlie tips of her fingers to the end of the stick. In a moment it mov.ed to one side. Then to the other, then up, then down, across, around, and tlie next instant that young girl, by sirnnly tom bing the end of the stick and keeping ner hands there, had four men floundering furiously aroiind the room, and several times I was ten inches off the floor. How is that? Five men caught a chair and held it to tho floor. She put her hands on it and as the men held it securely the chair was completely shat terod in trying to get away from them. Another ami stouter chair snared a like fate. A heavy bedstead was run across the room twice simply by tho laying on of hands. I sat in a chair. She touched it, and dumped me onto the floor six feet away. All these tricks were repeated several times, and fully convinced me that she possessed somo remarkable power that 1 leave for tlie scientists to explain—if they can. I did not have time to see her attempt to move a bed by getting on it and simply commanding it. as that required an hour or two more time than 1 had at my disposal. Neither did she attempt any spirit rapping. There i* no doulrt of ono thing, and I mention it briefly for the benefit of those who may choose to study the matter, and that is this: Whatever inanimate object she touched appeared to be charged with a force that impelled it to move and that too most vigorously. and always from her, and with an irresistible force. Iler touch has no effect on animato objects. Mr. Hurst and his wife have grown very enthusiastic over their daughter's powers and propose to take her on the road if she can make a success. She lias certainly created a big seusation in her section of north Georgia. The people are talking of hardly anything beside the wonderful Lula. The spiritualists are beginning to flock to tin* scene and to write to her father, and it may be that a few more weeks wall find her a full fledged medium. A gentleman who is neither a spiritualist nor a scientist suggests that perhaps Miss Lula’s powers were developed by the same causes that produce the rosy sunsets, as they are contemporaneous, and that they will both take their departure together. The negroes of Cedar valley are afraid of the young lady, and great alarm has taken possession of many of them, who think she has power to cause their death at will. Some local wiseacres accredit her with animal magnetism, others electricity, and still others tho “odic influence” developed. Recipes. Frizzled beef.—Shred some dried beef, and parboil it until sufficiently freshened; drain off the water, and add enough boiling water to cover it. Rub equal quantities of flour and butter together until smooth, then add tho beef. Beat up three eggs, yelks and whites together, stir those in with a little pepper a couple of minutes before taking from tho fire. Servo hot oil toast or split roll. Mince Meat. —Two pounds of meat, one pound of suet, eight pounds of apples, after they are Chopped, four pounds of sugar, two pounds of raisins, two tablespoonsful of cinnamon, ono tablespoonful allspice, one nutmeg, two quarts of boiled cider, ono pint of brandy, half a pint of molasses, half a teacupful of salt. This is an excellent rule to follow, hut it is still best to consult your taste somewhat in the matter of seasoning, as spices vary in strength. Apple Pudding.—A delicious pudding made of grated apples is especially enjoyed, if the apples are tart and of good flavor. Grate the apples after peeling them, weigh them after grating, and put with them an equal quantity of white sugar. To about ten ounces of apples and sugar allow four well-beaten eggs, the rind of ono lemon, and tlie juice of two. Line a shallow pudding-dish with rich paste, put in tlie apples, etc., and bake for half an hour in a hot oven. A sauce of cream adds a touch of unequaled goodness, but it is very nice without. Suet Pudding. —A nice and easily-made suet pudding is made of one cup of suet chopped fine, and with every bit of gristle removed? ono cup each of molasses, milk and fruit; raisins and currants mixed, or dried cherries are best for this purpose; one heaping tablespoonfu! of brown sugar, one teaspoonful of soda, dissolved in a little iiot water, complete the ingredients called for, with the exception of flour enough to make a stiff batter. Take care to stir the flour in so gradually as to be certain not one lump, if ever so small, is left; steam in an earthen puddingdish for three hours; serve with wine sauce, or witli the common pudding sauce of flour, sugar, butter, and water. The deposits of fine coal ashes found on the ledges of the kitchen rango or stove, surpasses polishing powder and fluids for cleaning liickleplated ornaments on stoves. Sifted ashes would scratch the ornaments. To wash greasy tin and irons: Pour a few drops of ammonia into every greasy pan, first half filling with warm water; a bottle of ammonia should always stand near tho sink for such purposes. A chronic rheumatism, which has been paining and disturbing a system for ten years, is a mighty ugly enemy to attack. It is like a fiend behind a barricade —hard to hit, and harder to dislodge. But Athlophoros doesn’t seem to fear even such a desperado. It works its way into his fastness in tlie system, and ousts him without ceremony. Says Air. H. Charley. Musk won ago, Wis.: ‘ My brother lias been taking Athlophoros for chronic rheumatism of ten years standing. It is doing all you claim for it. His pain is gone, and his limbs are warm and lifelike.”
