Deputy Constable Doty, accompanied by a friend named Gilliland, raided two houses of illfame Tuesday night, serving upon them irregular papers of arrest, and receiving in return valuable pledges to assure tho appearance of the women before ’Squire Feibleraan. Yesterday, seeing that he had made a serious mistake, Doty endeavored to make out regular papers, but Feibleman, with the intelligence and honesty that his office demands, would not tolerate such injustice, or suffer himself to be made a party thereto. The valuables were returned, and Doty, it is understood, will bavo to explain his conduct before the law. New patterns in Bed room Seta at King & Eider's.

Against Treasurer Wasson. It has been charged that Treasurer Wasson has failed to give proper credit on his books for taxes paid by checks on Harrison's Bank, which were not presented until after its failure, but on which receipts for the taxes were issued to the payers. A Journal reporter called on Captain Wasson yesterday, to inquire about the statements. Mr. Wasson said that the facts were simply as follows: That J. C. S. Harrison brought a list of property of which he was agent, and receipts were given him, he crediting the amounts to Captain Wasson's official bank account in Harrison Bank. At that time the bank was insolvent, and as he had never had value received, the property was returned delinquent. Mr. Charles W. Smith, attorney for Captain Wasson, was also seen, and he stated that the public knew the facts; that there had never been an attempt at concealment, and that there was also a suit pending in the Circuit Court to determine the question of law, as to who should lose the amounts involved. All the parties had been notified, and there had been ample time to test the question, which, indeed, would be determined in suits forthcoming. The Hepburns* Shoot. A shooting match between the picked teams of six chosen from the rifle club of Minneapolis and the Hepburn Rifle Club of this city, was shot yesterday at the grounds of the last-named club. The conditions of the match were that the Minneapolis men shoot at their own grounds —a distance of two huudred yards—and that tho Hepburns shoot upon their range, and that results were to be reported immediately by mail. Tho strictest rules governed the shooting. Thero were to be no artificial rests; no hair triggers; but the shooter was to use a rifle under ten pounds in weight, with three-pound trigger-pull, and each man to be allowed but two sighting shots. The home club did good shooting, scoring 551 points out of a possible, or rather impossible 720. Following is the score: Ilodecs, 104; Cravens, 96; Alexander, 94; Walters, 88; Bretz. 86; Pomery, 83; total, 551. A Legal Absurdity. Said Major Gordon to a reporter, yesterday: “Our present law is such that when a man dies leaving an estate worth SIO,OOO his widow has a right to one-third of it This gives her $3,333.33. If the estate is over SIO,OOO she gets but onefourth. So that if the estate is worth $13,000 she receives but $3,250 —less than if her husband had died possessed of only SIO,OOO. If the estate is worth $20,000 she would under tho law get one-fifth—s4,ooo. If the estate should be worth one cent less. $19,999.99, the widow would bo entitled to one-fourth—s 4.999.9 hundred and ninety-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents more than when her husband dies with one cent more. This law is absurd on its face, and yet it has been the law in this State for thirty-three years. Here's a chance for the Legislature to right a long continued wrong—one that has gone on and on simply because no one has paid any attention to it.” Charged with a Horrible Oft'ense. Samuel D. Porter, a printer, living at 80] South Delaware street, was arrested yesterday by Superintendent Lange, on the charge of outraging his stepdaughter, a weak and fragile child of nine years. The mother of the child, who has been married hut one year to Porter, went on a visit to Frankfort, leaving the child with Porter. This was on the 4th inst., according to the story of tho little girl. Porter took the child to the Dime Museum in the evening, then brought her to the living apartments, where tho outrage was committed. Dr. Hodges, the prison surgeon, made an examination, and gives it as his opinion that the child’s story is entirely true. Porter waived an examination yesterday in the mayor’s court, and was held to bail in the sum of S2,(WO. Porter is about thirty years of age, and claims his wife is trying to “do” him. The Washington County Court-house. The county and city hoard of health of Salem have declared the court house to be a nuisance, and some time since recommended that it be tom down and the filth removed. Tho State board of health, which hes been looking into the matter, has referred Hie question to the Attor-

ney-general, who has delivered the opinion that the board of health has not the power to tear down the building, although it be in a bad and offensive condition; but that the board of commissioners have the power and means to accomplish the end which they desire. REV. T. DEWITT TALMAGE On the Question, “Is the World Growing Better or Worse?” Every seat in Plymouth Church was filled last night with an eager and largely bald headed throng, anxious to hear tho Brooklyn pulpiteer's conclusions as to whether the world is growing better or worse. Mr. Talmage is a tall, large-featured, wholesome, English-Jewish looking kind of a man, with smooth face, except reddish burnsides. and a large, sharp nose aud keen eyes. He surveyed the audience keenly, took a swallow of water, and put tho conundrum: “Ladies and Gentlemen—Ts the World Growing Better or Worse?’ which he proceeded to answer, for one hour aud a half, in tho affirmative, and apparently to the entire satisfaction of that large class who believe “verily, we are the people,” and who love to be patted on the head, even if they have to do it themselves. It is not necessary to portray Mr. Talmage's vigorous style, for that is familiar to all readers of bis sermons as they appear weekly in the Monday Journal; and as to his manner it is peculiarly his own. . He is easily understood, and lias no hesitancy in the use of all the tricks of modern pulpit and lecture-stand oratory, being especially glib in putting sparkling and even ridiculous antitheses, and in telling stories which bring down the house. It is a good lecture for a backward spring, or a dreary day, or the off year in presidential elections, or after several of the election districts of your State have been irrevocably sealed to the Democrats, as it does not stop with the silver linings of the dark clouds of daily experience but takes you for au hour right behind. ths eloud and into the fullness of sunSninG upon the other side. Mr. Talmage leads off as follows: '‘lf we leave the evolutionists to guess where wo come from, and the theologians to prophesy where we are going to, we have at least the interesting fact remaining that we are here. And I am glad of it, for this is the best world, the best age, year, month, day and minute of the world’s existence.” That the United States is the best country, tho speaker saw 850,000 new proofs in the emigrants from Europe When we offer hand and heart in marriage to beautiful and hospitable Canada, she will blush, look down and say, “Ask mother.” Mr. Talmage claims to be “by nature and grace an optimist,” and certainly is in this lecture, though in some of his sermons a strong adherent of a lurid and inflammatory theology. He could tell a man by his spectacles; if blue, a blue man; if green, then green, and if yellow, then jaundiced, but if transparent, then seeing the true world of God. If the heart is right and the liver right, the man will be all right, and then followed a vivid and humorous portrayal of the aspect of the world to the man with a carlyleau dyspepsia from an over-feed of lemon pie. To him the beautiful snow means slush; the world is war, croup, gout, bunions and dyspepsia. Mr. Talmage claimed he should and did pre.ach tho religion of sunshine —only such should be tolerated. The solemnest man he ever knew was a minister who borrowed of him $25 and possessed so high a sense of delicacy as never to speak of it thereafter. On the question of communism he quoted the story of Astor, and the tramp who demanded a division of property at the muzzle of a pistol, and with whom he reasoned and settled by giving him Iris share as a citizen of the Union—lo,ooo,ooo people and as many dollars —gave one to the tramp. Our good and evil is as we make it, and if the Persian poet has no shoes, lie meets a man with no feet There are always condition is worse; and on this fact were rung many changes and goo 4 stories by the lecturer. People don't know what they want; they get a livelihood and then want a competence, -then a superfluity, an affluence, and always—more. The lecturer takes—in this lecture at least—a lenient view of total depravity. He had not met a man totally bad in ten years, and people are mainly what they are by the force of circumstances; each of us couid do or be any bad thing, if the grace of God did not prevent. Mr. Talmage is especially strong in statistics —blank verse he calls them—and he piles them up in masterly series to carry his point, that this is the golden age and tho United States God's own Israel, and a country, if any there he, fit for the second coming .and reign of Christ His summary of the conquests of modern science in the world of matter wa3 of wide range, instructive, accurate, appreciative and well received, as also was his portrayal of the return of the Union soldiers after the war. with which brilliant description. although scarcely connected logically with his lecture, he closed. The audience seemed well pleased, and applauded often and heartily, and, at the close, seemed in better mood with themseives and the world than is usually observed after listeuing.jto the average preaclicr-lecturer. Tlie Special Gospel Services. Tho special meetings holding in several of the churches are going ahead with undiminished fervor and with increasing prospects. At Cen tral avenue Church, last night, liev. Dr. Marine preached for half an hour upon the meaning of the new birth—the absolute, essential rite of entry into the kingdom of God. After the sermon a consecration service was held, followed by the giving of testimony, aud then an altar exercise for a short time, during which a numder of persons came forward for prayers. There will be another meeting te-niglit. The public is invited. An old-fashioned revival is being held in a frame residence near the Union Depot, aud from the enthusiasm aroused in the meetings each evening tlie mistake lias been circulated that the Salvation Army is quartered there. The conversions have been numerous, and the interest awakened shows no sign of flagging. The every-night gospel meeting at the Y. M. C. A. rooms will be conducted by Mr. G. A. Cox to night, commencing at 7:30 o'clock. Threatened with Exposure. To the Editor or Proprietor of Indps Journal, Indianapolis, lml.: Will you please Explain—why You Encourage through your paper the llinks—Theatres & socalled fashionable parties or Gatherings—of People—when you fully understand its importance, towards —Society—on the Moral or itnoral —plan—as you please. Please Explain in your next issue or you will be Exposed fully. Very v. o. R. Killed by the Cars. An unknown German, about thirty-five years old, was killed last night by the ears, at the Ohio street railroad crossing. He had a basket and coffcecan, besides, in his pockets, a number of railroad checks, note book and key. Evidently, he was an employe on one of the railroad lines. Both arm* were broken aud the chest crushed. _ The Demand for Divorces. Irene E. Coffman wants a divorce from Peter, on tlie grounds of drunkenness and failure to provide: and Jeremiah Moore prays to be divorced from Eliza, alleging abandonmeu t; and on the same grounds, Joshua R. Middleton wants to be divorced from Georgia; he also asks for the custody of two children. Vitality of Great Mea feudal ways innate or born with them, hut many instances are known where it has been acquired by the persistent and judicious use of Dr. Harter’s Iron Tonic.

THE MILK IN HIS COCOANUT. Albert Gall, Being Interviewed, Disconrses on Business and Things—Cheerful Outlook. “How's business?” inquired a Journal saunterer, yesterday, of Albert Gall, the carpet dealer. “Starting out pretty well this week, thank you,’ replied Mr. Gall. “We have begun papering and decorating the First Christiau Church, on the corner of Ohio and Delaware streets; we are furnishing the carpets for the Methodist Church at Greenfield; we have started in with the furnishing of the Anderson court-house with carpets and mattings; we have a nice little job at Connersville, which will take about four weeks, paper-hangine and decorating a residence there; we have started to decorate the , but I needn't go further.
