The Republicans of the Fifth ward will meet at the gas works, on Friday evening, for the purpose of forming a Blaine and Logan club. John Williams has been appointed guardian of John J.

Church will give a lawn festival to-morrow evening at the residence of Mr. Chris Bock, No. 476 North East street A joint meeting of the three young people’s Christian Temperance Unions will be held this evening in the Vance Block room. A full. attendance is desired. Tho Independent Order of Red Men consolidated with the Improved Order of Red Men last night, and marched to the hall of the latter, in Griffith Block, headed by a brass band. Isaac N. Neeld, survivoV of a partnership composed of the said Neeld and Joseph P. Wiggins, deceased, and which formerly did business under the name of the Indianapolis Ice Storage Company, has brought suit against Frank M. Wright for $4,000, for goods sold to and moneys advanced to the defendant The residence of J. J. Clark, 246 North Illinois street, was entered by burglars yesterday just before noon, in the temporary absence of the family, and a number of valuable articles, including jewelry, were carried off. Some family pictures were also carried off, and Mr. Clarke states that if the thieves will return the pictures through the mails, uo effort will be made to recover the other articles. Just and Impartial Mr. French. There has been a general overturning in railway mail service. Saturday night an order was issued by Superintendent French transferring all the west-end night-line clerks to the day run, and changing the old day men to the night run. On the east end (through-mail lines running east from this point), two head clerks—John Torrance and Tom Watson—are transferred to the west run, and the places they vacate are filled by the promotion of two west-end second clerks—Frank Bowers and Leroy Furnace. ’ Sam Myers, west-end clerk, is made chief head clerk at St. Louis. The day runs are light and pleasant, compared with the night trains, and the clerks who are given night duties think they can see the cloven foot of the vengeance of French, as they wore all antiFrench in the recent investigation. The promotions are limited chiefly to those who recognize in French a “wise, competent, courteous and upright” superintendent. There is the usual dissatisfaction, the east-end clerks feeling that there was fit material on their end for promotion, without having to go to the west ond for head clerks.—News. The transfers referred to by the News are the talk of all the men in the serrico, and to say that they have created the most widespread dissatisfaction does not express it. Asa matter of fact, nearly every man who took part against CoL French in the recent investigation, has either been discharged or submitted to the greatest indignity and hardship since tho report of the commission.

M’CAULEI DID IT. Indianapolis Loses a Ball to Toledo, After Fairly Winning a Game. The Indianapolis club outbatted and outplayed theToledosyesterday at everypoint, but, through the inability of McCauley to control the ball, lost the game by a score of 11 to 7. The visitors were accommodated to two first bases on balls, in the first inning, aud an excusable error by Morrison, aud two base-hits yielded them four runs. Two more were added in the second. Indianapolis made three in the third, two in the fourth, and two in the fifth by hard batting, earning six of their runs, aud virtually winning the game, but in the sixth McCauley considerately sent two more men to first on seven balls, -filling the bases, with no one out. Base hits ol Barclay and Mullane followed, yielding them three more"tallies. McCauley seemed to have lost all control of the ball, and, when most was required of him, was lamentably inefficient. Robinson caught well, Watkins played a splendid game at third, and Keenan did very well at short. For the visitors, Barclay, Lane and Pooimau did best with the bat, but the fielding lacked a great deal of being first class. Following is the score: Indianpolis. a. b. r. b. p. o. a. b.

The directory would do well to threaten his release frequently; The Grand Rapids club plays here on Thursday. and on Sunday the Quincy3 will engage the home club at Bruce's Park. The same two elubs play again to-day, and McKeon and Keenan will do the battery work. It is safe to say that Larry will not send half a dozen men to first on seven balls. Indianapolis will in all probability recover that ball lost yesterday. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal Is there any rale, or amendment to the rules, of the National League or the American Baseball Association giving the batsman the first base upon being struck by a fairly-delivered ball? o. Williamsport, Ind. The rules of the American Association give a batsman a base under such circumstances, but those of the League do not.
