THE ELECTRIC LIGHT. In a Run of 100 Miles the Electric Locomotive Headlight Performs Admirably. Since the account published in the Journal of a test of the locomotive electric headlight, last October, the opinion has prevailed that it was a failure, so many futile attempts had been made to bring it into use on locomotives. However, the parties controlling the electric headlight have not lost any time since they became Convinced that the light was sure to become a success. On Friday last the engine No. 460, of the Panhandle, backed into the depot equipped with the first electric headlight ever placed before a paseenger train. The light was kept burning during the trip, as an experiment, and, as it went through to Bradford without a break, the trial was repeated on the night run with great success. On Saturday afternoon the same engine was backed into the depot to take out the New York express. Hundreds crowded around the engine, all eager to see the light. Engineer Ed Phinney, Master Mechanic Arp, and a Journal reporter were on the foot board with the inventor, M. Lynn, and the electrician. George Meyer. The first, stop ■was at Greenfield, where there was a large number awaiting to see the light. Some declared it tould be seen on the hill as far back as Cumberland, a distance of ten miles. As the train proceeded the people at the stations increased in numbers, until at Richmond there was fully a thousand awaiting its arrival. The fastest time made was between Knightstown and Lewisville, where the engine ran over the ten miles in as many minutes. The train left Indianapolis late, yet went into Bradford on time. Notwithstanding the high speed and great oscillating of the engine, the light burned as tteady as if the lamp had been suspended from the ceiling of a hotel. The night was intensely lark and a heavy fog prevailed, yet a distance of bait a rnile coulu be plainly seen. Superintendent John Miller told the reporter that he had watched the performance of the lamp closely from the first, and during the time it had been in operation on their road he had had reports from nearly every station. He was convinced, fully that the light was a grand success. Too much cannot he said in praise of it. The opinion of those on the train was, that it will take rank amouk the greatest inventions in modem railroading. Robbed by Highwaymen. Jacob Buemvogel, who lives at the comer of Illinois and Merrill streets, was assaulted by three men on South Meridian, street,on Saturday night, and, after being beaten until unconscious, was robbed of a valuable gold watch and a pock et book containing a small sum of money. It is reported that on Friday night three men, supposed to be the same robbers, stopped Lewis C. French and H. F. Foliday. while returning to the city from the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and tompelled them to give up their money. Talten Under Advisement. ' Judge Taylor has taken under advisement the suit of J. C. S. Harrison to enjoin County Treasurer Wasson from collecting taxes on certain personal property, which the defendant claims was converted into government bonds for the purpose of evading taxation. The plaintiff at one time offered to pay one-half of the amount claimed, as a compromise, but this was rejected. An elegant line of pallor goods at King & El dors.

THE AMUSEMENT REVIEW. Close of the Irving Engagement—The Attractions for the Present Week. At the matinee on Saturday Mr. Irving and his company presented "Charles I,” and a more effective performance of a beautiful play was never given in this city. In the opinion of the writer Miss Terry's Queen Maria is her best part, She invests it with tenderness and an indescribable pathos, and that, too, without violent outbursts of emotion or the use of the prevalent methods of depicting sorrow and suffering. It was a fitting counterpart to Mr. Irving’s impersonation of the unfortunate monarch, which was full of regal dignity and intense feeling. Saturday night there was a gratifying increase in the attendance, other cities of the State being largely represented. "The Bells” and the trial scene from the "Merchant of Venice” were reported, the performance being received with strongly marked enthusiasm. The Irving engagement here was a success financially and pre-eminently so artistically, and the series of performances given will long be remembered by Indianapolis theatergoers. THE COMING ATTRACTIONS. At the Grand, to-night, Mrs. Leon Bailey, assisted by the best singers in the city, will give an operatic concert for the benefit of the fund for the proposed soldiers’ monument, for which an excellent programme has been arranged. Tomorrow and Wednesday nights the original New York Opera Company, with Fanny Wentworth, Marie Hunter, Madaline Lucille, and a strong cast, will present the “Queen's Lace Handkerchief,” and during the remainder of the week the Madison Square company will appear in the established favorite play, “Hazel Kirke,”’ with C. W. Couldock as Dunstan, and Miss Annie Rus sell in the little role. Appropriate souvenirs will be given to the ladies in attendance. At English's, during the week, Prof. Morris’s “dog circus” will be the attraction, performances being given every afternoon and evening, at very low prices, 15, lit) and 25 cents. This will be a great show for the little people, for Mr. Morris’s dogs are wonderfully well trained, and do a great manv entertaining things. From Irving to dog actors, is something of a descent, but “it goes.” The Zoo Theater will reopen to-night, with Whitney & Long's “Magnets,” which includes the Novelty Four. Emerson and Clark. McCarthy and Munroe, Andy Collom, the Morello brothers, Clara Franklin, Roach and Castleton, Lester and Williams, J. F. Whitney, and E. R. Lang. A good bill is assured. THE ROLLER-SKATING CRAZE. Roller-skating is, just now, the most popular form of amusement in this city, and the accommodations for the sport are excellent The Light Infantry opened Masonic Hall, which has been excellently fitted up for such purposes, on Saturday night, and there was a large crowd in attendance. The Maryland-street rink continues to do good business, and the opening of the Park Theater for skatorial purposes has been postponed until Thursday night. The entire parquette and stage will be covered with a smooth platform for experienced skaters, while the large room down stairs will be used for beginners. The French Investigation. The French investigating commission will resume its session on Wednesday of this week, at which time, it is understood, further evidence will be introduced on behalf of postal clerks and employes of this division. Mr. James H. Woodard, who has assumed the burden of Mr. French’s defense, present* the following as the best that can be said for that officer: “Last night I talked with Mr. Cole, ahead clerk in the service. He said: *1 don't like Mr. French's methods in many things. I think he is exacting to the point of oppression, hut for the tax payers and the public he is the best superintendent in the service. He has one-third more work done for the same money than any other superintendent, and, while the poor devils of clerks do all tho toil, French gets all the credit. The charges of dishonesty against him have no foundation—not one word of truth in them. He is often arbitrary in his decisions, and without having all the facts before him, reaches conclusions that are unjust to the persons affected by them. No doubt the fact that congressmen and politicians send him so much raw material has caused him to look upon the men as cubs to be broken in, and is in a measure an excuse for many of his arbitrary acts.” The general understanding ij that this tells very nearly the truth. The “exactions” to “the point of oppression;’’ compelling clerks to do “one-third more work for the same money” than other superintendents get out of their employes; “oppressions” upon “poor devils of clerks,” so that Mr. French “gets all the credit.:'’ looking upon men as “cubs to be broken in;” “arbitrary acts"—these, as it is understood, are the charges against Mr. French. Heath of Mrs. Munlns.ll. Mrs. Mary Munhall died at the city hospital, on Saturday night, of consumption. She had an eventful career. In her earlier days she was in affluent circumstances, but afterward became greatly reduced in circumstances. She married a destitute man named Charles Munhall, who last summer fell out of a third-story -window and broke his neck, and she was arrested on a charge of having pushed • him from the window, but there was no proof of this fact A Deserved Promotion. William Kennock, of the Treasury Department secretcserrice, who has been employed in Indiana from time to time during the last few years, and who aided in the detection of the Tipton and southwestern Indiana counterfeiting gangs, has been promoted to the position of chief of the northern district of New Yoi-k and Pennsylvania. Mrs. Godby’s Bad Shooting. Mrs. Nellie Godby, who keeps a boarding-house at No. 78 West Market street, discovered two men in the hall of her house on Saturday night, shortly after 12 o’clock, attempting to force an entrance to the room of one of the female boarders, and she fired three shots at them, none of which, it is believed, however, took effect. Regulating Her Hoarders. Mrs. Hannah Gorman, who lived in the board-ing-house kept by Mrs. Biggs, at the corner of Pearl and Mississippi streets, was struck across the forehead with a butcher knife, in a fight with the keeper of the house last Saturday, and badly cut. Mrs. Biggs was placed under arrest on a charge of assault and battery. Marriage Licenses. Nicholas Cross and Mrs. Frances Lewis. William Sloan and Mary F. Line. Alfred J. Hardy and Lillie Hess.
