LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. Discussing the Ditch Bill in the Senate and the General Appropriation in the House. The General Assembly was in session yesterday about four hours- The time was occupied mostly with the discussion of the ditch bill in the Senate and the general appropriation in the House. The ditch bill is a redundant mass of several thousand words, which no one seems to very clearly understand. Senator Sellers undertook to explain its provisions, section by section, but the subject was too uninteresting to hold the attention of the members, and after talking two hours, to a dozen or more listeners, the Seuate adjourned until to-morrow. The House resumed consideration of the appropriation bill. The proposed allowance of $25,000 to Purdue University for the erection of new buildings, was defeated. Several ineffectual attempts were made to secure an amendment giving from SIO,OOO to $10,500, but nothing was allowed. The appropriation for the State Normal School was increased from $7,000 annually to SIO,OOO, on the motion of Mr. Debs. While the item allowing $85,000 to the prison north was under consideration, the committee arose from its session and was granted permission by the vote of the House to resumo consideration of the bill to-morrow afternoon at 2 o’clock. The bill authorizing a temporary loan of $500,000 for covering the deficiency in the new StateHouse fund, and continuing the tax levy of two cents, was passed in the Senate, after amending it so as to conform to the constitutional requirements by inserting the word “casual” before deficiency, and by making the interest on the bonds 4 per cent, annually, instead of “4 per cent., payable semiannually.” A message from the Senate announced that the bill prohibiting base bail playing on Sunday had been passed, after being amended, and had been transmitted to the House for concurrent action. It was found, however, that a document which was not the base ball bill had been sent over, and a committee was appointed to inquire inL the mateor. The Speaker was quite indignant over the efforts which were being resorted to for the purpose of preventing the passage of the bill, and declared that; although he had voted against it when it passed the House he would, under the ‘circumstances, vote for it when it came up for consideration again. The bill cannot be defeated by stealing it from the files, because there are at least three copies of it in existence. The memorial on the death of Representative Browning was considered by the House during the afternoon as a special order. Speeches on the life and character of the deceased representative were made by Speaker Jewett. Mr. Smith of Tippecanoe, Mr. Helms, Mr. Gooding, Mr. Adams, Mr. Mcßroome, Mr. Smith of Warrick and Mr. Gordon. A number of Senate bills were advanced to third reading. The allowance on the Munson claim was reduced from $5,100 to $2,500, and a resolution was adopted authorizing the employment of an expert to compare the measurements and make a computation on the brick work in the Insane Hospital building, for the purpose of determining whother or not John Martin’s claim is just SUPERINTENDENT LANG EXONERATED. Reinhold's Charge of Perjury Fails to Stick —Attorney Everett’s Explanation. Yesterday afternoon the case against Superintendent Laug, brought through the agency of Reinhold having * Tillie Crawford make an affidavit against Lang for perjury, came up for trial in 'Squire Emmerich’s court, in Wayne township. From an examination of the return made by Lang in the mandamus proceedings in is difficult to see where the perjury fies. In the facts brought out at the trial, Harmon J. Everett, the attorney who drew up the affidavit which the Crawford woman signed, on Thursday night stated that he had done Superintendent Lang a great wrong in drawing up the affidavit, and that he had read the answer in the mandamus proceedings, and his impression was that no bond had been given by the woman. Everett also stated to a Journal reporter that he had been bitten in the case by Reiuhold. He said that he asked the girl Tillie Crawford if she would sign a statement that she gave no bond, and that she did. She, however, stated that she was told to sign a paper and did so, which proved to be the affidavit. The fact was the girl in the Spooner proceedings had been let go on her own recognizance. The proceedings were dismissed, aad Prosecutor Harding stated that it was due Superintendent Lang that he have an explanation. Among the attorneys and witnesses present were Prosecuting Attorney Harding, Attorneys Mitchell, Denny, Wright, Tinclier, ’Squire Smock, and numerous police officers. RemholJ threatens again to pull the house and dYive the women from town. The police intimate that it is likely the grand jury will corral him in his petty meannesses, and put a black mark en him that he won t forget The police intend to go to the bottom of his record, which they . say is not savory. "Will Obey the Law. President Sehwabacher, of the local base ball directory, states emphatically that the directors have not in any way attempted to prevent the passage of the Sunday base ball bill, except by legitimate methods, and that if the measure finally passes the lower house, and is approved by the Governor, the club will obey the law implicitly. If the bill has disappeared, as has been intimated, the directors know nothing of and do not, in any way countenance such steps. They will not attempt to evade the law by giving Sunday concerts, with incidental base ball, or any other subterfuge. The bill has no emergency clause, however, and will not go into effect for at least three months, and in the interval ball games will be played on Sunday. A Host of Defendants. A partition suit has been filed by John G. Blake and others against Nicholas McCarthy and others, for partition of real estate claimed hy them as tenants in commmon, and to have been left them as th* legal heirs of Jesse Blake, deceased. The auit grows out of certain property owned by defendants, or in which they have certain inter ests adjoining the property claimed by defendants. There are only eighty-two defendants, among them being three banks, the receivers of five banks, nine administrators, a loan and in vestment company, a fire insurance company and the trustees of Lane Seminary, Cincinnati. A Guardian's Removal Asked. A petition has been filed by Elizabeth G. Ireland to remove William H. Ireland, guardian of Elizabeth G. and George W. Ireland. The pett lion charges that the guardian was ordered to sell and invest the proceeds of real estate for the benefit of his wards, but that he converted $1,500 to his own use, and wasted other assets. It is further stated that be has failed to make a report of the trust for two years past, and that be has failed to provide for the wards, and is now an habitual drunkard. Petitioner *is a daughter of the defendant, and is twenty years old. Insane Hospital Commissioners. The board of commissioners for tbe construe tion of the additional hospitals for the insane met yesterday in the Governor's office and effect ed a reorganization by the election of Governor Gray tie president and General Grose as vice president The resignation of Mr. Frank Black ledge, secretary of the board, was accepted, am Pitvre Gray, son and private secretary of the

Governor, was elected to fill the vacancy. The board adopted plans and specifications for the water works and sewerage at the three new asylums. “ONE OF THE WATSONS.” The Pleasant Reunion of Two ’49ers Who Had Not Forgotten the Countersign. In the days when sailed the Argonauts, in the days of ’49, when pine forests covered tho broad Sierras and the rude hut of the miner grew on the sunny slopes of the Pacific, Marsh Palmer, of this city, put on a Trocador shirt, buckled a Colt’s revolver in his belt, and with pick and and shovel, hied him hence to dig tho yeller gold. Full of youth and animal spirits, he landed in the then village of San Francisco, and looked about to cast his fortune. Time passed. (They always say it just like this.) Marsh grew acquainted with genial companions. From out of the vulgar horde who had drifted there were many brilliant and companionable men, and from their many social clivities grew a club. This organization included lawyers, doctors, litterateurs and the military, and among the number was Lieutenant (now General) W. T. Sherman, who was stationed on the slope. A hut or club-room was secured, a man hired to attend, as steward and hostler, and the room stocked with—but no matter what it was Rtocked with. There, in tho evening, when pallid mists rolled up to the yellow stars over the bald mountains, the members met and had their et ceteras. To gain admission there were signals. Taps on the outside of the door, and the member on the inside would say “Who’s there?” “One of the Watsons.” “Gin the pass-word.” “San JBonita!” During General Sherman’s last visit to Indianapolis Marsh went down to sec him. He approached the General, who didn’t exactly recognize him. “Who are you?” asked the General. “One of the Watsons,” ho replied. “What! Give the pass-word;” quickly returned the General. “San Bonita,” replied Marsh. And they embraced. It is needless to say that the meeting was most pleasant, and later on Marsh sang that beautiful matin hymn, “We won't go home till morning.” THE CHURCHES TO-DAY. Plymouth Church, Rev. Oscar C.

First, and foremost of all, comes the ponderous and pioneer “war elephant, Betts,” who has won over one hundred and fifty hard-fought battles, and is one hundred and forty-one years old. She, although aged, is one of the best performing elephants in the world; was captured in British India, and at one time was the property of Ahmed Shah Durani. She is a wonderful curiosity, and no person should fail to see “Betts,” tho oldest "elephant in the world.

Moore family, Siberian roller-skaters, the most skillful lady and gentleman skaters in the world. Riffia Bey, the dextrous knife thrower. Kataraorpa, queen of the reptile world, who handles the venomous and deadly serpents. We could continue writing each and every attraction, but space will not permit; but we can advise you all that Doris has the finest show in the world You will see the best male riders, best female riders, more athletes, more acrobats, more leapers, funny clowns, and more animals than were ever exhibited under one management Remember, also, that this is a three-ring circus, elevated theater stage, and fifty-cage menagerie.
