THE LAST BUSINESS DAT. Iflie Qaiet Pleasures of Bethany Park Enlivened by a Brass Band and Polieeman. * ••The Vital Forces of a Republic,” was the subject of an address by Dr. A. Marine, at Bethany Park yesterday morning. Christianity is estimated among the vital forces of a Republic—the truest and most spiritual of all others. "When ‘‘liberty” is mentioned Christianity is attentive, for liberty is essential to her growth. There is nothing she hails with so much delight as the proper use of liberty; hut the liberty to worship God is of but little value if our conceptions of Deity are false. The first building in this country was a church; the first music was a hymn; and the first eloquence a sermon. The sinking of one’s liberty in the wide sea of God’s liberty is the first ct of a great life on earth. There is a deep importance in preserving the sanctity of the marriage relation. We possess now the best houses, the best wives, and the best mothers known to all nations. Religion is the radical' fojce of humanity—the scope cf religion is the measure of history. Prof. E. E. Smith, of Purdue University, also addressed tho audience, taking for his subject “Is Christianity the True Religion?” The diagram that will beet represent the human mind at the present time is an interrogation point. The universal impulse to seek truth implies that truth may be found. We should not quarrel with those who do not search along the same lines that we do. Christianity is the only relig ion fitted for men everywhere, in all edasses and all conditions. In it there is nothing to offend good people anywhere. The afternoon was given to F. D. Power, pastor cf the Vermont-street Chi istmn Church,in Washington, D. C., who occupied about one hour and a half in lecturing, without manuscript, on ‘‘The Life and Character of General Garfield, late President of the United States,” dwelling more particularly on the religious life and character of Central Garfield. The lecture was intensely interesting, abounding in beautiful word pictures, admirably interwoven, and uttered with a voice and intonation that at times caused many an eye in tho audience to become dimmed with tears. The management indulged in the questionable expense of introducing on the grounds and in the tabernacle services, a brass band of eleven or thirteen instruments, to charm the ears of as many dozen people, on tho last business day of the encampment An Indianapolis policeman was also brought to the grounds, which gave another cause for advorse criticism. To day F. D. Power, of Washington, D. C., preaches tho morning sermon The ordinance of the Lord's simper will be observed in the afternoon. J. E. Taylor, of Kansas City, preaches to-night. The train leaues the Uuion Depot at 9 o’clock a. m., and returning leaves Bethany Park at 5 p. m. AMUSEMENTS. Tlie Different Attractions Which Will Be in Indianapolis in the Early Future. Van Amburgh & Reiche’s circus and menagerie will show in Indianapolis on Sept. 10, The show is spoken of favorably wherever it has exhibited. The proprietors announce that they are fully equipped in every department, and propose to give twice as good a show as anybody else for half the money, the regular admission price being only twenty-five cents. The circu3 company is made up of the cream of the profession, and contains Mitsura’s Royal Dragon Japanese Troupe, now first appearing in Amer lea, by special permission of the Mikado. The Hollywood Juvenile Opera Company will play a three nights’ engagement at English’s Opera-house, commencing Monday, Aug. 31, producing the gorgeous fairy spectacle “Cinderella or the Glass Slipper.” The advance sale of seats for the Mexican band concerts on Wednesday afternoon and evening begins at the box office of English’s Opera-house to-morrow morning at 9 o’clock. The programmes for tho two concerts are entirely different, and are composed principally of Mexican music. For encores the band will play American national airs, and it is said that they are very generous in responding to recalls, and that the audience can have all the music they want by calling for it. The Adah Richmond Burlesque Company, a very fine organization, will open the season at English’s Opera-house on Thursday evening, Sept. 3, for a three nights’ engagement, A Law Likely to Cause Trouble. Alderman Pritchard has been studying tlio new law consolidating the county and city treasuries, and has reached the conclusion that there will be a shortage of $50,000 in the amount of city taxes collected each year. He finds that under the provisions of the act the county auditor will hereafter make the city tax duplicate at a cost of SI,OOO, while heretofore the city clerk has received only SSOO for the work. He estimates that it will cost the township assessor $2,000 more to make the city assessment than has been paid the city assessor. With the increaso of one-half of 1 per cent, on the collection of the first SIOO,OOO of taxes, and the additional salary of $2,000, he figures that tho county treasurer will receive $3,000 more than was paid the city treasurer. Altogether, he thinks tho Jaw is a bad one, and in oue way and another will cause a considerable loss to the city. Luck of Indiana Speculators. A number of citizens from this county, about ten years ago, bought at a cheap rate some stock in a Colorado mine. When first put in operation tbe mino did not yield much profit, but the company kept up the work in the hope that it would improve as they progressed deeper and further into the vein. About four months ago the yield began to improve, and at present tho mine pays handsomely to all its stockholders. The vein has continued to widen until the entire breast of the drift is iu solid material. The last shipment made was a car-load of ore weighing 15,421 pounds, for which was realized $84.20 per ton. A New York mining company has offerod $5u,000 for the property, which was promptly refused. Chris H. Stein, of this city, holds ono*ixth iuterest iu tho mine. Selling Indiana's Bonds. State Treasurer Cooper was yesterday notified by the Dry Dock Savings Institution, of New York city, that it had purchased SIOO,OOO of the 3J per cent. Indiana Stato bonds from tho firm •f Walter Stanton & Cos., requesting a transfer of the same to its name. Mr. Stanton will be required to give proof of the assignment, however. before the transfer is recorded. Thus far, Mr. Stanton has sold SOOO,OOO of the temporary loan bonds, besides $440,0C0 of the State-house bonds. A Picnic for Poor Children. The Model Clothing Company announces a tree excursion and picnic for poor boys and /iris, to take place on Thursday next, Aug. 27. Tho details aro g.ven elsewhere in this issue. This outing for the little ones is intended for p*ior children who have had no meaus to get out of the city during the heated term, and it is expected that a large number will take advantage of tho generous offer. Permits for Improvements Issued Yesterday. Yesterday, building perrn’ts were issued to Charles Rugenstein for a cottage ou Union street k> cost $500; John Sullivan, improvements at No.

SIM COY’S FARTY. The City Convention To Be Held on September 3—The Representation o! Delegates. About twenty-fivo Democrats and Sim Coy met last night at the Supreme Court room to determine upon the time for holding the Democratic city convention. Richard Johnson was elected chairman of the meeting, and Fred Heiner acted as secretary. Mr. Coy stated the object of the meeting, and then moved that the convention be held on Friday night of the 28th inst., one week before the Republican city convention. “Friday is an unlucky day,” cried out John F. Stegg, who was In the audience. “Well, then, I move we change it to Saturday,” yelled the doughty Coy, who was evidently in favor of taking uo risk. Mr. Bernharaer then arose and moved as a substitute that the convention be held on the 3d of September, and the primaries one day previous to that date. This motion was adopted by common consent. The following resolution was then offered by Mr. Bernhamer ana adopted by the meeting: Resolved, By the city central committee of the Democratic party of the city of Indianapolis, That the convention of the party to nominate a candidate for mayor and city clerk, to be voted for at the ensuing city election, to be held on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 1885, shall be held at Mozart Hall, on Thursday, Sept. 3,1885, at 8 o’clock P. M. Said convention shad be composed of 213 delegates, selected ou the basis of one for every fifty votes cast for Isaac P. Gray, the Democratic candidate for Governor, at the gubernatorial election held Nov. 4, 1884, in each precinct of sad city, and one delegate for every fraction of fifty votes cast iu such precinct over twenty-five votes. Said delegates are hereby apportioned among the several precincts and wards as follows: First ward, 8 delegates; Second, 4; Third; 5; Fourth, 6; Fifth, 6; Sixth, 5; Seventh, 9; Eighth, 9; Ninth, 9; Tenth, 5; Eleventh, 5; Twelfth, 7; Thirteenth, 8; Fourteenth, 8; Fifteenth, 14; Sixteenth, 10; Seventeenth, 7; Eighteenth, 8; Nineteenth, 11; Twentieth, 8; Twenty-first; 9; Twenty-second, 11; Twenty-third, 14; Twenty-fourth, 11; Twenty-fifth 16; whole number of delegates, 213; necessary for a choice, 107. For the purpose of el< ctlng such delegates the Democracy of each ward will meet in mass convention in their respective wards, on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 1885, at 8 o’clock p. M.; and after selecting such delegates each ward will nominate a candidate for councilman, or fix a time for such nomination; also select a number of delegates from each precinct equal to the number of delegates to the city convention, to the several aldermanic conventions to be thereafter held, and also one member of the city central committee from each precinct." Mr. Coy then moved that the chairman be given power to fill all such vacancies as may occur among the various committeemen appointed. This was concurred in, and the meeting then adjourned. AN ERRONEOUS DIAGNOSIS. Dr. Heil’s Arrest Proves to Have Been Unwarranted and He Is Acquitted. An obstacle confronted the prosecutors of Dr. Charles Heil, charged with criminal practice in relation to Emma Meyer, when the case was called in ’Squire Pease’s office yesterday morning. Friday evening, when the arrest occurred, the magistrate continued the case until Monday, but yesterday forenoon a constable came unexpectedly to Dr. Heil in jail and asked if he would consent to a trial at once. The doctor told him that he was ready at any time to meet the charge that had been brought against him. When Emma Meyer was placed upon the stand, she said that Dr. Heil had never treated her on any account; that when she was taken sick at ’Squire Pease’s house she did not think she needed a physician, but was advised that oue had better be summoned. After a great deal of persuasion, she said that if any doctor was to be called she would like to have Dr. Bell or Dr. Heil. A young Dispensary physician came —Dr. Ryer. Miss Meyer said that there was no need for anyone to treat her for anything upon which a charge of criminal practice could be based. Dr. Ryer did not beiieve tho evidence existed that would sustain an opinion that anything illegal had been committed.. With this evidence before him, ’Squire Pease dismissed the case. Dr. Heil says he did not know the girl. He was never called ,to attend her at any time. Tho doctor has certificates of reputable practice, among them papers attesting his efficiency as hospital steward, from General Hancock's medical director. He served throughout the civil war and for a long time in tho regular array in the capacity named. Tfie whole affair appears to have resulted from an erroneous diagnosis. Newly Incorporated Companies. Articles were filed with the Secretary of State yesterday incorporating the Hunt Soap Company, of this city. The capital stock is $50,000, and tho directors are James F. Gilliland, John A. Hunt and Philip F. Igoe. Tho Western Manufacturing Company, of Fort Wayne, which has a capital stock of SIB,OOO, was also incorporated yesterday. The directors are William Fleming, John H. Bess, Oscar A. Simons, William 11. Hoffman, and S. B. Bond. Tho Mechanics’ Savings and Loan Association, No. 3, of Jeffersonville, was incorporated under the State laws yesterday. Druggists Shall Not Be Doctors. A few days since a druggist in Lagrange county availed himself of the knowledge to be gained from a prescription that came from a neighboring physician, and duplicated it to cer tain patients who applied to hirn for medicine. The physician who prepared the original prescription claimed that the druggist, who held no license as a medical practitioner, was violating tho law. The case was presented to the secretary of the Stato Health Board, who decided that it was a violation, and instructed the county authorities to prosecute any druggist who thus practices medicine without the proper credentials. Damages Asked for a Wrecked Car. The Citizens’ Street Railway Company yesterday filed a complaint in the Supreme Court against the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Indianapolis Railway Company. It is alleged that a train of the railway company, on account of careless running, wrecked a street car of plaintiffs, a: the Irvington crossing, July 3. A further statement is made that the railway company, in reparing tracks, took up and carelessly replaced the street car track at the Irvington crossing which contributed to the accident. Damages to the amount of SSOO are asked. Attachment Suit Against Green & Cos. Supplementary to their suit filed the other day, S. A. Maxwell & Cos., of Chicago, yesterday began suit in tho Superior Court in attachment against G. D. Green & Cos. This was done to attach tne interest of John Lilly in the J. O. D. Lilly varnish works, of this city. Tho basis of the suit is a note of Green & Cos., John Lilly being tho partner, for SIBO. Foi.pi.no beds at King & Elder’s.

DOMESTIC INFELICITIES. A Wife’s riayfnl Way of Making Life Interesting for Her Husband. A few days ago Carrie Low began suit against her husband, Milford, for support. Yesterday he retaliated bystttiug forth her unwisely acts in a complaint for divorce. He enumerates sev eral causes, among which was the frequency with which Carrie locked him out at nights, and compelled him to seek lodgings elsewhere. It is further stated that she often attacked him with a butcher knife, and as often went after him with a loaded revolver. She gave additional zest to these performances, it is said, by attempting to cat him with a razor. She succeeded in this amiable effort so far, he says, as to cut his coat into pieces. He als charges abuse in calling him vile names. The difficulties that exist between Maria Myers and her husband John are rather tame compared with those of the Law family. John, it is charged in a divorce complaint, simply assaulted Maria by knocking her down and administering several severe kicks. They were married in Danville. Ky., in 1872. She seeks alimony and the custody of their child. John, she also says, is not faithful. F. M.
