PRICES ALWAYS IN PLAIN FIGURES PETTIS, BASSETT 1 CO. THE KNIGHTSTOWN INVESTIGATION. Goar and White Present Their Testimony and the Case Is Closed. The Knightstown Home investigating committee closed its sessions last night. The testimony elicited nothing especially new, but simply corroborated the statement of the various witnesses, Thos. B. Deem, editor of the Knightstown Banner, said that Morgtn, one of the instructors at the Home, was guilty of immoralities which •re so debasing that the Journal cannot make mention of them. Deem said that he told Dr. White of Morgan’s conduct, hut that White refuted the matter as an untruth. Jacob Swigart, of New Castle, said that he saw a lady who had sandy hair, slim and tall figure, come out of Goar’s office. This testimony was hostile to that which claimed Nellie Leighton as being the girl with whom Goar held illicit relations in his office. J. M. Allender, of New Castle, corroborated the testimony of the above witness. Ed. M. Swaim, of Kuightstown, said that on the day which Goar was said to have been drunk with him, that they were both sober. Samuel Green did not regard White as being • good manager for the Home, and thought that he permitted punishments too severe. John M. Goar came next He denied all improper charges against himself, and did not remember a single instance where he did wrong. With Nellie Leighton, Hattie Robinson and Mar}? Thompson he held the most conventional relationship. Dr. White came next and was interrogated briefly, when the meeting closed. The committee will report to the Legislature en Wednesday. John Twine’s Ante-Mortem Statement. The coroner took the ante-mortem statement of John Twine, who was shot by Warren Banks, and on yesterday it was made public. The statement says that the deponent is twenty-tlireo years of age, that he was in Hoflbauer’s saloon on Hill avenue, with Warren Banks, John Banks and George Crabtree about 12 o’clock noon, Thursday last. That he approached Banks and took a pipe out of his hand and walked around by the stove, distant some six feet Banks then pulled out a revolver and said: “Give me the pipe, or I will shoot you,” and fired without further words. The ball struck me in the thigh. I pitched him the pipe. He then exclaimed, “John, have I shot you?” and I answered yes. He then went after a doctor, ana returned without one. The ambulance took me to the Surgical Institute and then home, and afterward to the City Hospital. He (Banks) got drunk frequently, and when in that condition was quarrelsome. We had had several collisions.” Banks has given himself up to the authorities, and is now in jail. The coroner heard the evidence of other witnesses yesterday which cor rbhorates that of Twine. Banks still maintains that the shooting Whs accidental, and regrets the matter sincerely. He told a reporter that Twine was as dear to him as an own brother, and no motive or passion could have led him to purposely injure Twine. The fact that Banks has not attempted to escapo jus tice, but rather has voluntarily surrendered himself, gives some weight to his statement of the affair. Twine was firm in his belief, while ®n his death-bed, that Banks purposely shot him, not intending to kill, but rather to maim some part of his body. Book-casks at king & Elder's.

A HOME FOR PYTHIANS. A Movement to Erect a Suitable Building for the Occupancy of Pythian Lodges. A movement is on foot among the Knights of Pythias of the city to erect a handsome building for their permanent occupancy, the cost of which, including real estate, shall be at least SIOO,OOO. The strip of ground at the northwest corner of Delaware and Market streets has been chosen as the site of the building. It has a frontage on Delaware street of 195 feet and on Market street of sixty-seven and one half feet The idea is to make the building four stories high, covering the entire strip. The first floor will be divided into ten store-rooms, with a grand stairway fronting on Delaware street The second and third stories will be divided into office rooms and on the fourth floor will be located the lodge rooms, which are to be so arranged that they may bo thrown together by elevating the dividing partitions, making a grand lodge room 150x60 feet, for use on extraordinary occasions. It is estimated that the rental received from the storerooms and offices will yield an annual dividend of 10 per cent, on the total investment. Circulars have been issued to members of the order, calling upon them to aid the enterprise by taking stock. The amount of stock to be issued has been fixed at $50,000, divided into shares of $25 each, payable $lO down and $5 at two, four and six months. The circular concludes: “From the outset the stock promises to be a good investment, and it will, from year to year, constantly appreciate in value, aud ultimately prove one of the best investments ever made. Aside from a mercenary view of the matter, there should bo very few members who will not contribute a small sum to this object. The only other orders that wo might call rivals have fine buildings and feel a just pride in them. A small saving in personal expenses, a very little selfdenial, will enable you to assist in this enterprise. Let each one make the effort and the result will be a structure that will not only bo an honor to the members of the order in this city and State, but to the order universal as well.” The Board of Aldermen. The Board of Aldermen met in regular session last night, at the court-house, only two members being absent. Concurrent approval of the favorable action of the Common Council was taken in the ordinance to exclude the Pennsylvania Company from the payment of taxes per assessments for the improvement of Union street, on which the company granted the y a strip of land sixty feet wide. The ordinance passed by the Council to grant the Indianapolis Gas-light and Coke Compbny, the contract - for ten years’ lighting of the city at a price not exceeding SI.BO for each thousand cubic feet, was concurred in, but met with considerable opposition from several members. The ordinanco passed by the Council providing for the bettor sanitary regulation of the city was concurred in, as was also the ordinance granting the Union Central Telephone Company the right to use streets and alleys in this city. The ordinance awarding the contract to the Indianapolis Fertilizer Company, for the removal of dead animals, was concurred in; so, likewise, was the ordinance to extend the time for the Union Railway Company and the Eagle machine works to remove the arches in Pogue's run. The favorable action of the Council respecting the Geisendorf-street sewer was concurred in, and the bond approved. The committee on finance was instructed to have pi*epared a statement of receipts and disbursements from June, 1881, to January, 1885, and to report at the next meeting. An ordinance granting the B. & O. Telegraph Company, of Indiana, the privilege of erecting and maintaining poles along certain streets aud alleys of thiscity. was indorsed by the committee on railroads and telegraphs, and concurred in by the Board. The meeting then adjourned. The Treasurer’s Bond. After a caroful examination of the financial standing of the bondsmen of Treasurer Cooper, and having obtained the official rating of each and every one of them, including non-residents of this county, the Journal is prepared to state that the bond is worth, according to the figures of the bondsmen themselves, made to the county assessors, $507,410.14. This, after making allowance for the real estate owned outside the counties in which they live. Besides this, several of tho gentlemen included are on other bonds of from $500,000 to $1,200,000 each, and others are now or will shortly be under bonds themselves. The figures are correct and reliable. The Journal has now “had its say.” A Winter Night. “Poor, naked wretches, wheresoe’er you are, That tide the pelting of this pitiless storm. How shall your houseless heads, and unfed sides, Your looped and windowed raggedness defend you From seasons such as these?” And do not our own thoughts turn to those who feel that starvation of cold which is worse than hunger? lam in occasional receipt of letters such as this: "Send mo the name of some one to whom I can send a load of coal.” “Send a load of coal to some family, and send me the bill. ” Perhaps there are others who would be glad to do this. You can telephone the society for the name of a family, or you can send the money for one or more loads of coal. Your own fire will burn the brighter. Oscar C. McCulloch. Mrs. Gougar Talks to the Legislators. Mrs. Helen M. Gougar addressed the members of the Legislature last night in the hall of the House of Representatives, on the subject of woman's suffrage and the question of a constitutional amendment for the admission of women to practice at the bar, to serve on juries, and to all equal rights with men. The following members and politicians were noticed among the crowd of ladies: Browning, Hayworth, Wildman, Frazee, Senator Marshall, Bert, Mouck, Franklin, Fleece, Aiken, Parson and Hayden. The address was frequently applauded, and was quite witty and forcible in argument. The Arsenal for the State University.
