THE GRAND TEMPERANCE COUNCIL. A Poorly Attended Meeting at Which Nothing Was Accomplished—Officers Elected. The annual meeting of the Grand Council of Prohibition was held in the Y T . M. C. A. Hall, yesterday, with an attendance of about 100. The session began at 2 o'clock, and was opened with a brief address by E. B. Reynolds, the president, in which he spoke principally of the evidences that a prohibition sentiment is growing in Indiana. At the close of his remarks, Eli Ritter made a brief speech in favor of disbanding the organization of the Grand Council, and closed bymoving that when it adjourned it be sine die. The motion met with such strong opposition that, after a heated discussion of the matter, it was withdrawn by Mr. Ritter. Dr. Houser moved the appointment of a committee of seven to prepare anew constitution for the organization, which was ruled out of order. The was considerable confusion about credentials, and a committee of three, consisting of Sylvester Johnson, Robert Denny, and Mr. Mitchell, were appointed to receive credentials, and report who were entitled to a voice in the proceedings of the convention. After being out for nearly two hours they returned with a report stating that they- had found it impossible to determine who were entitled to a voice in the convention, and therefore recommended that all friends of temperance should be allowed to take full part iu the meeting, which was adopted. John W. Ray- and several others vigorously pro tested, and said that, under the operation of this motion, it was a meeting of temperance people and not a convention of the Grand Council of Prohibition. After a few spirited Temarks in relation to the matter, the president stopped further discussion, and the convention proceeded to tho election of the officers of the council for the next year, resulting as follows; President—Sylvester Johnson. Vice-presidents—Mrs. Wells, James Sewall and Robert Denny. Secretary—Mrs. Rose Wilson. Treasurer—Dr. R. T. Brown. There were 134 votes cast for president, of which 91 .were for Mr. Johnson, 41 for Dr. Bartholomew, and three scattering. [There were not to exceed 110 persons present, and the ballot-box was ‘ ‘stuffed. * —Reporter. ] A motion was introduced providing that the grand council should not hold itself responsible for any moneys collected that are not turned into the treasury, and that all money needed for the expense of the organization should be raised in the annual meetings, instead of allowing persons to go over the State begging contributions, which were often never reported. The indebtedness of the council, it was stated, now amounts to about SIO,OOO, and money enough has been collected by unauthorized persons to pay this debt, but had never been reported. The motion was defeated and the council adjourned untill evening. At the evening session a committee on resolutions was appointed, of which Dr. R. T. Brown was chairman, and it reported an indorsement of the prohibition party movement, which was adopted by a vote of fifty-three against eight. Most of the evening session was occupied in hearing reports from the representatives present from the different congressional districts in regard to the temperance work and the strength of the independent prohibition movement. The reports were given m a general way, and were indefinite and contradictory. A long speech was made by J. H. Pinkham, of lowa, and the convention adjourned. POLITICAL GOSSIP.

A little Second-ward girl, who had evidently been hearing politics talked somewhere, came home from school yesterday and asked her mother how it was that the doctor brought a baby to Mr. Cleveland when he had no wife to take care of it. This brings up another feature of the ease. Children, however, mustn’t ask too many questions. W. B. Nichols, of Pulaski county, writes that the Republicans will rub the Democrats closer this year than ever before, and will carry the largest portion of the Irish vote and more Germans than ever before. The Republicans of Pulaski never were in better shape than now, and have a Blaine and Logan club in almost every township. Butler will get a few Democratic voteb but no Republican.

Suit has been brought by Fabius M. Firch against Robert N. Lamb, assignee of Alfred & J. C. S. Harrison, for possession of a note for $3,500, on which plaintiff is indorser. The complaint states that in April, 1876, Temple C. Harrison gave to the Harrisons his promissory note for $3,500, and charges that Harrison “willfully and feloniously forged the name of Fabius M. Pinch as iudorser thereon.” It goes on to say that Judge Finch found out that the forgery had been committed and went to Harrison and accused him of it, and that he confessed his guilt and promised to take up the note when due. He then wont to Alfred & John O. S. Harrison

and told them that his indorsement was a forgery and that ho would not honor it He says that they afterward told him that the note had been charged to profit and loss and considered settled. Temple C. Harrison committed suicide, and the plaintiff thought he had heard the last of the note. Since the failure of the Harrisons, however, he claims that the note has been taken possession of by Lamb and regarded as one of the firm’s assets. He asks for possession of it and that the receiver be restrained from attempting to collect it PROPOSED NEW UNION DEPOT. A Plan Adopted and Steps Taken Looking to the Ereetion of the Building. The presidents and general managers of the roads composing the Union Railway Company were in session several hours yesterday. After adjusting several matters of minorimportnnee the new Union Depot question came up for discussion. A few months since, thirteen plans for anew depot were presented. From this number three plans were selected and turned over to an architect, of Columbus, 0., who was to draft a plan embodying the better features of the three plans, and the one which he drafted was adopted unanimously at the meeting yesterday. Vice-president Malott says the structure will amply accommodate the present business of the roads centering here and those which will come in within the next twenty-five years, and will be an ornament to the city one which our citizens will be proud of. The estimated cost of the building and the sheds over the ten tracks is $500,000. James McCrea and V. T. Malott were ordered at once to secure the option on certain pieces of property needed should tlie depot bo built between Meridian and Tennessee Streets, and if the prices were reasonable to purchase said property, and they were further instructed to take steps at once to secure tho necessary municipal legislation looking to the vacation of certain streets and alleys. President Ingalls says the whole matter is off their hands. If the city acts promptly and favorably, Messrs. McCrea and Malott can, as Soon as such action is taken, proceed with the improvement. At the meeting it was voted to close the up-town Union railway ticket office. It was also decided to advance switching charges over private switches leading from the Union tracks to correspond with those leading from tho main tracks of other Indianapolis roads, which is $1 per car.
