The Attorney-General Says that the State Is Not Liable for Personal Damages. A convict who was recently released from iho prison at Michigan City has threatened to sue the State for damages on account of injuries he xeceivod while at work. In anticipation of tho •nit the Auditor of State submits to the Attor-Boy-general the question, “Is the State liable for damages for injuries to a convict in a State prison, arising from a defect in an implement used by him in the course of his employment?” In answer to this question Attorney-general Ilord says: “Tho State is not liable to any action in the courts for the recovery of damages. It may suo, but cannot be sued. The fact that tbe State cannot be sued and coerced by action in its courts, does not necessarily settle that a party has no claim against the State. It is proper to suppose that, the State will satisfy bv proper legislative action, any justclaims against it. For an injury of the kind recited in your question, if jurisdiction was conferred by 'law, upon thelcourts to hear and decide lawful "claims •gainst the State, the State would not be liable. The doctrine of respondeat superior does not apply to the State, and if it did a convict does not come within the rule of respondeat superior, because he is not a voluntary servant for hire and reward, nor is tho State his master in any ordi ■ary sense. * * * The State is not affected by the misfeasance, willfulness, laches of or unauthorized exorcise of power by its officers.” Stolen Horse and Buggy Recovered. Yesterday a horse and bnggy answering tho description of the rig stolen from a customer of Wileon & Splann, Sunday afternoon on the west side, was found in the woods about three ■oilcs from Lebanon. Captain Splann wen* out there, identified the property and returned with h last night He says that a bay horse, two mules and a covered wagon, which had evidently been stolen, were left not far from his horse and fcuggy. Tho thieves in both instances doubtless found tho search for them too close, and gave up the spoils rather than run the risk of capture. The Dangerous Leap of a Woman. Yesterday morning Mrs. Melinda Gentry, of West Indianapolis, jumped from the trestle approach to White rivor bridge on the Vincimes •milroud to escape a trr in. She fell fifteen feet, •nd was dangerously injured about tho hoad and •pine. This latest things in parlor goods at King & Oder's.

TRICKS OF DOGBERRY ROW. llow the School Fund is Cheated Out of Thousands of Dollars Yearly. The Dark Ways and Dishonest Practices in the Justices’ Courts—The Systematic Scheme of Turning Fines Into Fees. There are more dark, dubious and eccentric things in the manipulation of fines and fees in offices of the justices of the peace of thi.3 city, by the persons who do the criminal business of these petty courts, than many people in their philosophy have dreamt of. The lawyers—those those who practice in tbe justice shops—are aware of some of them, but are exceedingly chary abcut giving information, doubtless fearing the reflex action of the boomerang. A few, nameless here forevermore, have been encouraged to make the brief remarks here appended: baid lawyer No. I.—A man comes before a justice of the peace and is fined, say $lO and costs. Now, the justice and his jackals are only interested in their own fees. With a very small amount of persuasion the justice is induced to make the fine sl, in order to have it paid. That means a loss to the school fund of $9. I have seen a man fined for selling liquor on Sunday, for which offence the justice cannot, under the law, assess a fine of less than $lO. This charge, in order to save the offender and afford him opportunity to meet the costs, I have seen changed to ‘desecration of the Sabbath,’the fine changed to sl, thus robbing the school fund of $9. Here is another way the thing is done: Say a man is fined $1 and costs. The costs run up the amount, assessed against the offender to sl4 or sls. He will pay in $lO, and givingsome sort of worthless security, stays the fine. The $lO paid in will bo all that he will pay, the fine and witness fees remaining uncollected, I know of a dozen cases where men have gone into these “squires” offices and asked their witness fees to be told that they have not been collected. The justice, the constable and the prosecutor have jot their fees, and the State's witnesses get nothing.” Said a second lawyer: “I havo personal knowledge of a very recent case. A man was fined $lO for selling liquor on Sunday. With the costs, the fees of the justice, prosecutor and constable, the amount reached sl9. To accommodate this saloon keeper at the expense of the school fund, the charge was changed to desecration of the Sabbath, with a fine of sl. The court harpies, you see. lost nothing, but tho school fund lost $9.” Said a third lawyer: “A constable of one of the courts in Dogberry Row, told me tho other day that an investigation had been made at tho suggestion of the attaches of the ’squires’ offices, with the discovery that the law against taking excessive fees is not in force and- offenders in * such cases can not be prosecuted.” A fourth lawvor: “Tho justices pay little attention to the Collection of fines. The main thing they are interested in is the collection of their costs. Whey they have secured their fees their interest ceases. Nobody can tell, in fact, just how many fines are collected. It is all in their own hands, and I am not going to believe in tho scrupulous honesty of men who defraud the school fund. The Attorney general should appoint somebody to look over their books instead of. as now, merely taking their word for the amount of fines collected. Indiana is losing thousands of dollars, as this state of things is going on in nearly every county. Fines are remitted, thrown off, the character of offenses changed on the docket—all at the expense of the school fund, but the squires look out for their own fees and those of their helpers.” Said another gentleman: “If a person is committed to jail in default of fine and costs —say $5 fine and $lO costs, to be paid in imprisonment at $1 a day—after the culprit has remained in jail five days they let him out upon payment of $lO. He has paid his fine by imprisonment, but the cash is divided among the justice, the prosecutor and the constable. The school fund loses every time. Beside this, I don’t beliove the ’squires who do the criminal business report more than a quarter of the fines they receive.” The reporter visited the county auditor’s office and examined the amounts paid in fines into the county treasury by the justices who get tho criminal cases. These returns are made half-yearly. He finds that a justice who doe#? a flourishing business paid for the year ISBO, fines collected, $25.74; for 1881, $34.87; for ISS2 (the Attorneygeneral stirring them all up about that time), $43.10; for 1883, $32.14: for 1884. $40.00. His last payment, in July, 1885. was $33.27. These amounts, measured with tho business this thrifty justice has been doing, seem absurdly small. Another justice, ou the principle that anew broom sweeps clean, and perhaps for the reason that it took him some time to learn tho tricks of Dogberrv Row, paid at the close of his first six mouths $147.29; at the close of his second six months, $147.24; trie next six, SBO 32; the next $-12.05; for the half-year ending last July, $29.47 It is agreeable to turn from these figures to those shown in the amounts, fines, turned by the mayor into the county treasury from State cases. During Mayor Grubb's' incumbency, nearly two years and eight months, he paid into the county treasury in fines, $3,072.59. Mayor McMaster is deserving credit for the manner in which he assesses fines against law-breakers, and the manner in which he collects them. During tho eighteen months he has held the office of mayor he has paid into the county treasury $5,440.14. He lias evidently looked out for the interest of the school fuud. Perhaps if there were fewer justices of the peace, with less competition for business, and with the justices upon salaries instead of being dependent upon fees, they would deal more fairly by the school fund.

Suit on a Benefit Policy. Tho life insurance policy that Ezra Olds was carrying in the Masonic Mutual Benefit Association of Indiana, was assigned by him to Wm. 31. Itidpath and Charles E. Matson, on the sth of last July. Olds died, and now Ridpath and Matson bring suit against the association, Henry Leabo and Stonzo B. Olds to protect their interests. In the complaint filed yesterday, they allege that Olds assigned the policy to them to secure a debt which was due from him to the plaintiffs. They want the association to pay over $3,000 to them, and ask that Leabo ami Olds, heirs of the deceased, be estopped from claiming any interest in the policy. An Alleged Nuisance. Near the corner of Mississippi aud Louisiana streets John E. Sullivan has a place where ho dresses poultry for the market. He does a large business in this line, but the Board of Health complains that he has provided no proper means of carrying off the offal. The board will have Mr. Sullivan before the mayor to day to answer the charge of maintaining a nuisance by letting all of this offal run into the street gutters. The defendant proposes to make a vigorous fight, as he lias demanded a trial by jury. lie will take an appeal in case the verdict goes against him. Caught on an Old Game. A confidence man approached John C. Byres, an old farmer from Clark county, Ohio, yesterday, at the Union Depot, and offered him a chance for investing in the worthless check scheme. Mr. Byres was of an obliging disposition, and let the stranger have S2O on a Cincinnati National Lafayette Bank check of the nominal value of $450. The swindler told the time-worn story about goods in the express office that he wanted to take out. After Byres had reported his loss to the police, he still believed in ti e possibility of the check being good. The Proposed Impeachment of Dowling. The Council committee of three appointed night beforo last to consider Councilman McClellan’s charges against Councilman Dowling will probably do very littlo more as to taking testimony than the committee of inquiry. The report of the last-named committee will be considered, and from that articles of impeachment

will be formulated and presented to the Council, when the actual trial will begin. It is supposed the articles will contain two specifications, one relating to the bribery feature, and the other to that of slandering members of a former Council. _ * ' w* YESTERDAY AT BETHANY PARK. Xbe Annual Convention of the Indiana Missionary Societies of the Christian Church. The annual convention of the missionary societies of the Churches of Christ in Indiana was opened at Bethany Park yesterday with a prayer and song service lasting half an hour. Tho convention was called to order by David R. Vanßuskirk, pastor of the Indianapolis Third Christian Church, who was elected president of the society last year. T. M. Wiles, of Counersville, who has served as State evangelist for several months past, read a report of the work done by himself. During his term of service he has visited forty churches in twelve different counties, preached on an average five sermons per week, and immersed twenty-six persons. This report was referred to a select committee of three. Prof. John Donaldson, of Terre Haute, delivered an excellent address on “The Principles of Christian Missions.” Man is to himself the greatest unfathomable mj-stery on earth. True missionary work consists in being such as Paul was—in the formation of true Christian character. The good that has been accomplished by Christian missions has been inestimable. Freed from all creeds and clinging only to the Bible, our plea has a breadth and depth known to no other. E. J. Gantz. recently elected to the pastorate of the First Christian Church of Indianapolis, addressed the convention, after reading a portion of the 6ong of Deborah. The importance of the missionary work cannot be exaggerated. Every man and woman in all Israel was commanded by God to keep and hold the word God gave them; and under Christ we are commanded not only to keep and hold, but to scatter the seeds of the glorious kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Christianity is a means by which we can express that which is best and highest in our nature. The usual standing committee were appointed; as was also a committee to confer with a committee appointed by the Sunday-school Assocition, on simplifying the work of the two organizations. In the afternoon J. H. Edwards, of Shelhvville, spoke on “tho jack-O’Lanterns of the Missionary Work.” Illusions crowd not only the material world but the world of thought. Os all illusions, probably none are so deceptive as tho ignis fatuus of worldly possessions. Missionary Jack o’lanterns lead on deeper and deeper into disastrous results. The devil plans that .he may thwart the efforts of evangelical forces, and he sends amongst those forces a combination of enticing colors to draw aw r ay evangelizers. Ofliceis for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, D. R. Van Buskirk, of Indianapolis; vice-president, A. M. Atkinson, of Wabash; corresponding secretary, E. J. Gantz, of Indianapolis; recording secretary, John M. Bramwell, of Indianapolis; treasurer, J. M. Tilford, of Indianapolis. Directors to fill vacancies: John M. Bramwell, A. C. Shortridge, J. M. Tilford, of Indianapolis; A. M. Atkinson, of Wabash and H. O. Breedon, of Vigo county. The several committees submitted reports, and the convention adjourned at the close of a business session. To-day the Christian Woman’s Board of Missions meet. Addresses are promised from Mrs. Sarah Wallace, H. W. Everest, of Butler University, Mrs. Pearre, of Lexington, Ky., and Mrs. Lizzie Wilson.

He had a pocket full of railroad passes, which mysteriously went from liis possession. They were discovered yesterday in a saloon on Illinois street, near the depot, of which Frank Riefel i3 one of the bar-tenders. It is charged that Mike Hoggarty, of the notorious Hoggarty family, did the stealing, and that Riefel received tho passes. Both are under arrest, the latter for receiving stolen goods and Hoggarty for petit larceny. Crushed by the Cars. Michael Nord, returning from his work at Kingan's pork house, about 7:30 o’clock, last evening, attempted to cross the Yandalia tracks at West street, while the yardmen were making up a freight train.

A CUNNING COUPLE. How Rev. Dr. Jenckes and the Brunswick Hotel Were Victimized by Strangers. Another illustration of how good-natured and sympathetic people can be imposed upon by money sharpers, came to light yesterday. Last June, an Englishman named Harry Bristow, and wife, registered at the Hotel Brunswick, with a view, as they claimed, to settling in Indianapolis to engage in the wholesale cigar and tobacco business. The couple claimed to be Episcopalian Church members of good standing, and soon ingratiated themselves into the good will of Dr. Jenckes and his church, where they were duly enrolled as members on the register book. Mr. Bristow also claimed to be a Mason; and by bringing the influence of both the lodge and the church to bear in their favor, the two spread their acquaintance in the city pretty wide. Mr. and Mrs. Bristow had not been at the hotel long, however, until it was mildly suggested by the clerk, Mr. Brown, tnat their bill was accumulating, and no payment had yet been made. Mr. Bristow replied that he was daily expecting a remittance of £550 from his brother in London, who bad sold out a tobacco store belonging to them both, and would send bis share of the money to to this city immediately. Things went on as usual a few days longer, when the clerk again explained the necessity of a settlement. This time Bristow became alarmed, evidently, and called upon Dr. Jenckes to aid him. Mr. Jenckes, whoso sympathy was enlisted by the plausible story ot the business relations of the man, together with the desperate financial straits into which the couple seemed to be temporarily thrown, gave them money, and assured the Brunswick management of the trustworthiness of Bristow. A week or two passed and the remittance was not forthcoming. The hotel management became suspicious at length, ami once more approached Mr. Bristow with a plain talk, demanding that something must bo done quickly towards settling the bill, or they would be given no further accommodations. But Bristow explained that ho had just sent a cablegram to London hurrying up the draft, which could not be long delayed. Mr. Nicholson, the hotel manager, however, was not disposed to give any credence to Bristow's word, and wont to the Western Union telegraph office, where he found the telegram, which, being marked “collect,” had not been sent. The situation became embe —3sing, when Dr. Jenckes, whose faith in Bm.ow remained unshaken, supplied the means by which the cablegram was sent. A day later word came that John Bristow, to whom the message had been directed, had refused to receive it. Manager Nicholson bocame indignant, but Dr. Jencks insisted that Bristow had been wronged by his brother, and would prove good for his debt in time. About tliis time Mrs. Bristow came forward in tears, and pleaded lenient treatment from the hotel management, declaring that she had property in Belleville, Canada, which sfco would dispose of to pay the bill. Mr. Nicholson’s sympathies were actively worked upon, and he decided to delay for a few days his contemplated summary proceedings. Meantime, Mr. and Mrs. Bristow were not idle. He had borrowed money right and left from his friends, and was not particular about the amount for which he asked, going even so far as to ask the loati of a half dollar. She procured . the loan of wraps and various articles of dress from her church friends, and ran up a large bill for dentistry at Dr. Helms; also a bill for treatment at Dr. Logston’s. Mrs. Bristow went stili further, and procured of Mrs. Jenckes, in the absence of her husband, a letter of recornmenda lion, which she claimed she desired to use at Belleville. In all, the couple succeeded in getting together about $l5O in money and availables. Last Wednesday Mrs. Bristow announced that she would proceed to Belleville to look after her property there, and being still further aided by Dr. Jenckes, who kindly loaned her his vaiise, she left the city. Mr. Bristow, it was understood, was to remain until her return, but on Friday he, too, left without saying anything to even the deluded hotel management. While they were at the hotel, a good-sized box, carefully wrapped, was seen in their possession. Upon this the clerk kept a watchful eye, determining that if they should fail to pay their bill, the box and its precious contents should bo retained. When it was found that Mr. Bristow had departed also, Mr. Brown went up to their room and broke open the box, which contained only a few pieces of tissue paper. This was evidently their ruse to get away without settling their bill, and, in a measure, it succeeded. Mr. Nicholson aud Dr. Jenckes are considerably chagrined at the sharp trick that has been played upon them, and are not foeling very kindly toward tho “blarsted Britishers.” The hotel is out about SBO, and Dr. Jenckes is short about one-half that sum. The Doctor, however, will have the matter published, with names, in the church organ of the Episcopalians, so that the couple cannot use’his letter of recommendation, or impose upon the friendship of tho church members.

Seeking to Set Aside a Sale. Moses Broyles was the administator of Jerrard Taylor’s estate, and in order to pay the debts against it sold a lot of realty, it is alleged, at an unfair valuation. Andrew J. Wells became the purchaser, and against him Wm. Taylor, the son of Jerrard, has brought suit to have the sale set aside. He also seeks to have one half the property given to him. Taylor alleges that he was a minor when the sale occurred, and that his interests were not carefully looked after. Not Wounded by a Guerrilla. In the report of the Fourth Cavalry reunion last Saturday, it was stated that Colonel Shuler was wounded in the leg by a guerrilla. This is a mistake. The Colonel was most severely wounded in the head, while leading the advance of Buell’s army, following Bragg, just before the battle of Perryville. The Colonel is still a great sufferer from tho wound received at that time. The Funeral of Mrs. Will E. English. The funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Will E. English will take place this morning at 10 o'clock, at St. John’s Cathedral, Rev. ‘Father Bessonies officiating. The following members of the congregation at St. John's will act as pall bearers. J.

During the past two weeks tho daily inspections have averaged fully 150 cars. The elevators of the city have a sufficient capacity to contain all the grain that comes here, but the railroads cannot furnish cars as promptly as desired. _ An Epileptic’s Leap. Night before last Robert White jumped from a third floor window of the City Hospital to the ground. He received serious injuries in tho way of broken ribs. White is an epileptic pat.ent at the hospital. An unusual opportunity is offered a business man with small capital to engage in a pleasant and profitable business. For particulars address W. A.
