COUNTY ASYLUMS. A Sanitary Survey of the Foor-Houses Under Direction of the State Board of Health. Reports have been received at the State health office from eighty-seven out of the ninety-two counties in the State, regarding the sanitary condition of the county poor asylums, in answer to questions propounded by the board. The counties not reporting are Allen, Blackford, Lake, Marshall and Steuben. The matter contained in the several reports will appear in the annual report of the health hoard, the results of the county surveys being compiled for that purpose. The interrogatories addressed to the local health officers are fifty-three in number, and embrace every point of interest in the sanitary condition of the county asylums. The showing is not, in any sense, creditable to the State, and there are many counties in which radical and immediate reform is necessary. This is especially true of the treatment of insane paupers; but it is regarded in extenuation that the superintendents are doing all in their power with the means at command. In submitting his report a well-known physician says that “the condition of the indigent poor at the so-called asylum is certainly as lamentable as the report indicates.” “I have many reasons,” he adds, “to be thoroughly disgusted with my connection with the institution as physician in charge, not the least of which is being compelled to make a report to the health officer of the character inclosed.” Dr. Latta, of Elkhart county, in submitting his report, says: ‘ ’The buildings are very poor, insufficient, inadequate to the demands, illy-venti-lated, and, in fact, not as good as ordinary cattlesheds.” This, however, is a temporary condition, due to an unsettled matter concerning permanent location. The report shows that in seventy-five cases the drainage is good, and in seventy-seven - the ground is clean; fifty-four of the asylums are uilt of brick, two of stone and twenty-six of wood; twenty five of the asylums are well ventilated,eight are not well ventilated, and fifty-four of the reports are silent on this subject In twenty-five cases the asylums have offensive odor, and in nine asylums the rooms are not kept clean. In three institutions as many as ten of the paupers occupy the same sleeping rooms, in five others there are six to each room, and the average is not less than fotir to the apartment, and generally the rooms are small and have low ceilings. In twelve of the reported counties the beds are said to be unclean and wanting in tidiness; in six they are infected with vermin; in seven asylums the interior of the buildings is neither whitewashed nor disinfected; in sixty-four eases the water supply is from wells, in sixteen from cisterns, and in three from springs; in six cases the water is impure, and in nine not safe from pollution, one report stating that there is a graveyard in close proximity to the spring. The total number of inmates in the counties reported, 3,539, of which 1,855 are males and 1,684 are females. Os the total number, 633 are under fifteen years of age, and the oldest inmate is eighty-eight years of age. Included in the total of 3,539, 610 are insane, of whom 206 are males and 214 females; 331 are idiots, and of them 170 are males and 161 females. About 250 deaths have occurred in the asylum during the past year. Marion county has 205 paupers, 87 of whom are insane; Wayne, 89 with 12 insane; Tipoecanoe, 111 with 44 insane; Vanderbnrg, 86 with 25 insane, and Vigo, IQ7 with 17 insane. In all the asylums, with four exceptions, the inmates are employed at manual labor. The reports are unanimous in saying that the insane patients are well treated, but in fifty-two counties, cells are used as means of restraint. In Madison county, “restraining straps” are used. In “suggestions” made to the board, and which close the report of each health officer, there are many things of interest to the people of the county wherein the evils pointed out are said to exist. In St Joseph county, for instance, the washing at the asylum is done in the basement of the building, and “the steam and odors permeate all the rooms and make the walls of the building damp.” The commissioners should follow the suggestions of the health officer and erect a wash-house. In Orange county the construction of the house is said to be bad. “The sittingrooms are surrounded by the sleeping-rooms, and there is, when the doors are closed, neither light nor ventilation. The room often becomes too hot, but the inmates do not know it. The atmosphere is not pure, for too many remain too long in the same room.

Some Facts Concerning Daily Cash Balances at Harrison’s Bank—Receivership Matters. Superior Court-room was again filled yesterday afternoon, it being expected that the accounts of John C. S. Harrison, in the receivership of the Indiana Banking Company, under examination by George C. Duy and others, would be ready for a hearing. The work, however, proving of greater magnitude than at first supposed, the showing could not he made yesterday, but will doubtless be ready for the inspection of Judge Taylor this morning. The creditors of the Indiana Banking Company are indulging in great guessing as to what has become of the money of that bank, that passed into receiver Harrison’s hands, but the general verdict is that it was gambled away in Wall street. There is great desire to have a showing and explanation of the hooks of Harrison’s bank,[and in good time Judge Lamb will be ready with the information. It is said the books of the bank will show that business for the day often opened at the bank with $5,000 or less in cash on hand, "while the maximum reached was $50,000, and this when the deposits amounted to $600,000. On October 1,1883, the cash exhibit showed a balance of $50,000 on hand, and ten days later John S. C. Harrison, as receiver of the Indiana Banking Company, deposited in his own bank $76,000. This would have made a total of $126,000, but five days later, on the 15th of October, it is alleged the cash balance was only $40,000. What the creditors want to know is, how the money received between these two dates was disposed of. Receiver Lamb filed a petition yesterday, and was authorized to procure, at the expense of the estates of Alfred and John C. S. Harrison, abstracts of the titles and incumbrances upon all of the real estate of the firm which, in the opinion- of the receiver, may be made assets. He was also authorized to have a quantity of hay upon the Harrison farms pressed and baled and got ready for the market. John S. Spann and Gilbert S. Bradley were appointed to appraise the property—real, personal and mixed.

Bethany Park Assembly. There is a very decided feeling on the part of many of the members of tha Christian Church against the running of Sunday trains to the Bethany Park camp meeting, in which, it is said, all the pastors share. They were outvoted, however, by the projectors and stockholders in the enterprise, who assert that it is absolutely essential to its success to run the trains and charge an admission. There promises to he as great a division in the Christian Church over the question as there is in the Methodist Church over the Acton meeting. The first meeting of the first assembly on the grounds will he held today, and trains will be run at regular intervals, at 50 cents round trip. A train will also be run on Sunday. _ A Week of Amusements. The Grand Opera-house will be reopened next week for a short season of legitimate drama. The Walker Dramatic Company, in the old-time play of the “Two Orphans,” will be the attraction. Cheap prices—10, 15 and 25 cents—will rtile, and the engagement will no doubt be a popular success. The company is headed by such wellknown professional people as Miss Arne Walker and Mr. Edward Arnott, both of whom have been frequently seen here to advantage. They come strongly indorsed by the press of other cities. The sale of reserved seats will open tomorrow (Saturday) morning at the box-office.

Holders on a Strike. The floor molders at the Indiana Foundry Company struck on yesterday, and were followed by all the other men in the establishment, necessitating temporary shutting down of the works. Two or three weeks ago there was a strike which was satisfactorily adjusted and work resumed. On yesterday the proprietors notified the molders that hereafter their wages would be reduced from $2.50 to $2.25 a day, the prices said to he paid elsewhere. The result was the strike above mentioned. Base Ball To-Day. The Indianapolis club returned last night from Louisville, and will play this afternoon at the Seventh-street grounds with the Columbns club. McKeon will pitch and Keenan catch, and the four new men will play for the first time with the home club; Watkins at third, Collins at second, Morrison in left, and Robinson in right The new men are all in good practice, and will undoubtedly strengthen the club. Morrison led the Northwestern League in batting -with the unparalled average of 450. Democratic Soldiers. The Democratic soldiers of the city met last night, at Superior Court room No. 4, and perfected an organization. W. C. Tarkington was elected permanent chairman, and Charles N. Tyler secretary. The name was fixed as the “Marion County Branch of the National Veteran Association.” An address was delivered by Howard S. Morse, of New York, and the Association adjourned to meet again next Thursday evening, at the Supreme Court room. The Fletcher & Sharpe Appraisement. The gentlemen appointed to appraise the property of the partners in Fletcher & Sharpe's bank report that the work is necessarily a very tedious and laborious one, and will probably require from three to five weeks longer for its completion. Until it is completed, Receiver Wallace will be unable to make his report. Harry J. Milligan qualified yesterday as the assignee of Stoughton A. Fletcher, filing a bond of $500,000. The Wliitsetts Bound Over. John F. Whitsett, and the other members of the gang, who stabbed Isaac Cover, last Sunday, waived an examination before the mayor, yesterday, and were bound over in bonds of SI,OOO each, to answer before the grand jury. Whitsett admits the stabbing, but says he assaulted Cover because he had been paying his wife undue attention. Cover is recovering. Township Trustee's Report. The township trustee’s report for July is as follows: Number of applications, 392: number of applicants aided, 344; number of applicants refused, 48; total, 392. Expenditures: 375 grocery orders a $2.00, $750.00; 14J loads coal, $2.40, $34.80; 7 half cords wood, average $2.25, $15.75; transportation, $79.10; burial costs, $35.75; total, $915.40. Sent Over the Road. In the Criminal Court Samuel Grant, who forged an order on a grocer, was given two years in the penitentiary, and William Schafer, tried for stealing a horse from IjViUiftm F. Christian, of this city, was sent to the penitentiary for four years. Both cases were tried by the court.

FOR BLAINE AND LOGAN. Large and Enthusiastic Meeting of Colored Voters at Michigan-Street Church. The meeting of colored citizens at the Michi-gan-street Baptist Church last night was large and enthusiastic, showing that the colored voter is alive to the issues of the hour. The audienceroom was tastefully and elaborately decorated. The meeting was called to order by Dr. S. A. Elbert, who gave way for Elder Sweres as permanent chairman. The following gentlemen were chosen vicepresidents: Rev. Harris, W. H. Russell, J. S. Hinton, Dr. S. A. Elbert, P. W. H. Johnson, Wm. Franklin, John Kinchen, Wm. Gulliver, Dr. Watson, H. B. Turner, Mr. Keeble, Robert Russell, Edward Harris, Conrad Burley, H. Sweetland, Richard Wells, E. Outland, John Wilson, Mr. Simmons and Mr. Welch. Messrs. Lewis, Stepp, Winn and Farley were chosen secretaries. Edwin Horn made a motion that the chairman appoint a colored citizens’ committee of fifteen. This motion was opposed in a brilliant and vigorous three-minute speech by Mr. Sweeney, who declared there was no occasion for a committee of that kind, whatever the necessity for such a committee in the South, where colored voters had not the free franchise they possessed here, and here the colored voters could afford to obliterate the color line. The motion was laid upon the table, Mr. Horn gracefully acquiescing in the almost unanimous vote against him. The first speaker of the evening, barring the remarks of Dr. Elbert and Elder Sweres, was Hon. Thaddeus S. Rollins, who made a sound and logical speech, showing the substantial prosperity enjoyed by the country under Republican rule, and making an apt contrast with the financial dishonesty and national dishonor that characterized Democratic supremacy preceding the war, dwelling particularly upon the administration of- James Buchanan—of which Thomas A. Hendricks was a part, occupying the position of Land Commissioner—an administration that opposed a homestead law, a law that was afterwards given to the laboriug men of the country bv a Republican administration and Abraham Lincoln, a law that had furnished homes to a population as numerous as that of the entire thirteen colonies at the time of the revolution. Mr. Rollins was frequently interrupted by applause, and was followed by Hon. Charles L. Holstein who spoke in an entirely different bu t equally felicitous vein, the approbation of the audience breaking into cheers and approving clapping of hands. Other speakers followed in short speeches, and the meeting adjourned with enthusiastic cheers for tho eminent statesman James G. Blaine and the gallant volunteer soldier John A. Logan.

Cremation Society. A meeting of all persons interested in organ sj izing a society and building a crematory in this city, is called for this evening, at the rooms of Dr. T. A. Wagner, 18 and 19 Fletcher & Sharpe’s Block, at 7:30. It is hoped that all persons interested in the matter will make an effort to attend. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications.

A Breach of Fromlse Case. Philadelphia Times. “Is dey a bill of excitement hyah agin Ike Prosser!” asked a colored man of district attorney's clerk Jermon, yesterday. “A bill of excitement! You mean a bill of indictment” *Yes “What is the charge!” “Breach oh promise, sah.” “We don’t have breach of promise cases here.' “Dis man is charged wiv’ borrowin' fo’ dollahs an’ a half, an’ not payin’ hit hack,” explained the colored visitor. “Ob, you mean false pretense, not breach of promise.” said Clerk Jermon, laughing. “I s’pose so, sah; but I’se alius bin of de 'pinion dat when a man borrowed money an' promised to pay it back, and didn’t, dat he was guilty of breach of promise,” said the colored man, scratching his head. Clerk Jermon found a bill of indictment against Isaac Prosser, colored, charged with false pretense in a transaction involving $4.50. A Substitute for Morphine. Paris Letter in London Troth. Let any one who feels limp and out of sorts go to some hilly place where there are woods to fill the air with oxygen, and there sit in a sunny spot with a naiTow bag of ice on the spine. The chest will expand and the lungs put forth all their power to inhale. If there be a microbe in the system (so copiously is oxygen let in) it must almost directly be burned up. The Bense of vitality is so great that one is under the illusion of being youthful again. A gentle warmth pervades all the body; the sky looks bluer, the trees greener; one is more alive to the exuberant joy

of the song-bird, to the brightness of the flowers, to the fragrance of the country; and if the coarsest faro were served at the next meal, so sweet would it taste that one would feel inclined to say grace after meat in a hearty spirit. My advice to fashionable women is to drop morphine and betake themselves in rural solitude to this ice-treatment. Le premier pas coutera; hut when once taken, all will be enjoyment after. CLEVELAND’S ACCEPTANCE. The Rough Draft Made After Careful Study of the Platform. New York Dial An Albany correspondent writes tliatGovemor Cleveland’s acceptance will not be ready for a week or two. The plan is laid out, and the following is a rough draft or minute from which the more elaborate and formal production will be prepared: VERY ROUGH DRAFT. It is not in the nature of a man, much less of an American citizen, to refuse a nomination. Besides, the place seeks the man. I accept You knew my qualifications when you gave me the honor. It is needless for me to talk about myself. Besides, I have read the acceptance of Messrs. Blaine and Logan, and they have left nothing for me to say. I have also read the critical and invidious remarks made upon those letters of acceptance, and, though I myself object to many things, I take warning, and think the less said the better. The war is over. It is, therefore, needless to discuss anything that happened before the sixties. Mr. Hendricks knows more about it than I do. Neither need I discuss the old ticket. Mr. Hendricks can do that effectively. Besides, in case General Butler should start I wish to keep my flanks well covered. The history of the Democratic party you know. It is the only party that is worth belonging to. But it makes blunders. A man that says nothing, and takes his time to say it, is not so liable to blunder. Some of you gentlemen may expect me to discuss the eight-to-seven question, but, politically speaking, I was not extant when that historic incident occurred. Mr. Hendricks is well up in the history of the event I will only say that, if a similar misfortune should occur, it will be my business to pat the eight on the side whore it will do most good. You, on your side, will be pleased to remember that the votes are important. You will, I am sure, do all you can to make vote3, but, above all, remember the lessons we have been taught—it is returns, gentlemen, returns, that count I look to you, gentlemen, to do your duty and correct the returns. Let us not have to reproach ourselves for neglect of duty. One word more. Civil service has been imposed upon a suffering nation by a flagitious and plunder-seeking faction. If you, gentlemen, elect me to office it will be my duty to see that no good Democrat shall starve. When the places are filled I shall enforce the civil-service law. Yes, gentlemen, it is the duty of a good citizen to observe the law, and I shall see that Republican candidates keep that law and themselves drink from the poisoned chalice.
