MANUFACTURERS OF TILES. Annual Meeting of the ‘ State AssociationPapers Read by Members. The annual meeting of the Indiana Tile and Drainage Association began in the rooms of the State Board •f Agriculture yesterday morning. The attendance is not as large as in previous years, only about ono hundred members being present. The presiding officer is Robert Thomas, of Briglitwood, and John Maey is recording secretary. The morning session was occupied with the work of enrolling members and hearing reports. In the afternoon an address of welcome w-.s delivered by Governor Gray, to which President Thomas made a brief response. The remainder of the afternoon and evening was devoted to the reading of papers on subjects relating to drainage, followed by a general discussion. "Equilibrium” was the tonic discussed in a well-written paper by J. W. I’enfield, of Willoughby, 0., a prominent tile manufacturer. and an instructive address was delivered by W. A Eudalv, of Cincinnati, on "The Burning of Clays," in which he advised tile-makers to carefully note and study tlio effects of various experiments in the pursuit of the business. In the evening the subject of "Drainage as a Sanitary Measure for Cities, Towns and Villages,” was discussed by Dr. I. C.

Yesterday was a holiday in the Catholic Church, being the feast of the Imm&caiate Conception of the blessed Virgin Mary. Services were the same as on Sunday. As an explanation of the feast, it has ever E'en the belief that the blessed Virgin Mary was preserved free from the stain of original sin by a singular divine privilege, because of her dignity as the mother of the Divine Son, and in anticipation of the merits of Jesus Christ. Though a pious beliof from the earliest days, it was not defined or declared an article tt faith until Dee. 8, 1854, when Pius IX, at the solicitation of many of the bishops, clergy and distinguished laity of the church, declared it to be an article of faith that the blessed Virgin Mary was conceived without sin, or was sinless through the merits •f her Divine Son. It is a favorite feast among Catholics. and is also the anniversary of the assembling of the Vatican Council, Dec 8. 1869. A Bazaar for the Poor. Masonic Hall has been engaged by the Ladies’ St. Vincent de Paul Society for their bazaar for the poor, to be held to-morrow. Dinner will be served fsom 10:30 A. u. till 3 P. v.; supper from 5 P. u. on. Speoial ruu on bed room sots at King & Blder's.

1 NEW DEPOT CERTAIN.

The Railway Magnates Decide to Begin the Work at the Earliest Date Possible. The presidents and general managers of the roads comprising the Union Railway Company met at the Bates House yesterday morning, and were in session until 4 o’clock in the afternoon, except an hour taken for dinner. There were present at the. meting James McCrea. president; V. T. vice .president of the tmon Railway Com Presidents McCulloueh, dV % ’ ai -a Company; McKecn, of the Vanof the C > X ” St L * & °m and Managers ' .of the Bee-line, and Henderson, of the 1., B. & **.; also, Attorneys Brooks and Hendricks. After a lengthy discussion of the new Union Depot question in ita several phases, it was unanimously voted to take definite action in the matter. J. N. McCullough, M. E. Ingalls, William R. McKeen and V. T. Malott were appointed a committee on finances, and instructed to at once proceed to sell the one million dollars of bonds of the Union Railway Company to the best bidders, and deposit the money for safe keeping, subject to be drawn upon as needed. Win R. McKecn, M. E. Ingalls, Gaylord Beach and V. T. Malott were appointed a committee to make the purehaso of certain pieces of property which are needed to give ample room for the new structure and system of tracks. This committee is also to advertise for bids to make the excavations, do the stonework the brick-work, etc., to complete the structure on the plan and specifications to be seen at the office of V. T. Malott, No. 11 North Meridian street. Mr. Malott, who has been pushing this enterprise with so much persistency for months, is in excellent spirits. He says he has no doubt now as to the depot being built during the year 1886. Wm. R. McKeen said to the reporter: 1 ‘The horses eyes are sot this time. Yesterday was the best day’s work done for Indianapolis since it has voted to build the new State-house.” He said he went home feeling better than at any time in five years. M. E. Ingalls said the meeting was very harmonious and unanimous in its actions, and and there was no longer any question as to beginning the erection of the new Union Depot next spring, and he was giad the matter was practically settled. J. N. McCullough, who has been most obstinately opposed to going ahead with the work, said he believed the time ad now come to move. The money could be obtained at a lower rate of interest than it can be had one year from now; the material could be purchased at less cost, and he thought labor would be cheaper next year than it will be in 1887. Ho said he held back on the matter for three years simply for the reason that the signs of the times were squally for railroads; but he thought the situation greatly improved, and he had no hesitancy in saying that unless some nnforseen calamity eame over railroad interests, the improvement would be commenced in the early spring. All at the meeting agreed that a more commodious and respectable depot was necessary at so important a rail* road center as Indianapolis.

HEAVY DAMAGES AWARDED. The Jury Finds a Verdict for SIO,OOO for Dr. Taylor. The damage suit of Henry W. Taylor against Dr. Harrison J. Rice, which has been on trial in the federal court for more Jhan two weeks, resulted yesterday in a verdict being returned by the jury, giving the plaintiff judgment for SIO,OOO. The parties to the suit are both well-known physicians. Taylor was a homeopath, who acquired rather an extensive practice in a short time, and Rice is an allopath, who has the reputation of being one of the oldest and most successful practitioners in his section of the State. In 1882 Dr. Taylor was indicted by the Parke county grand jury, on the charge of having caused the death of Mrs. Amanda Nevins, the wife of a well-to-do Parke county farmer, by criminal practice, but the indictment was dismissed on account of some technical defeat. At the instifation of Dr. Rice, it was charged in the damago suit, e was again indicted, and was tried in Parke county in 1884, and was acquitted, the evidence tending to show that the operation performed on Mrs. Nevins was necessary to save her life. Taylor, in the meantime, had moved to Illinois, and after his acquittal he instituted suit against Dr. Rice for damages to the amount of $50,000, for malicious prosecution. There were nearly a hundred witnesses examined in the trial, and the attorneys in the case were Judge McNutt, of Terre Haute, and Delana E. Williamson, of Greencastle, for the plaintiff, while the defendant was represented by ex-Sonator McDonald and Major Gordon. The jury was out only about fifteen minutes, when it returned with a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for the amount stated. The attorneys for Dr. Rice at once entered a motion for a new trial, and if it is overruled will appeal to the United States Supreme Court.

Renumbering Houses. City Engineer Sherer has appointed four assistants in correcting irregularities in house numbers and designating numbers on certain new streets. They are Ed Wolf for the northeast district, Emil Fertig for the northwest, John Egger for the southeast, and Charles Dauer for the southwest. After the numbers are designated the owners of property are required to have them put on the houses within ten days, or be subjected to % fine not exceeding SSO. The assistant engineers are authorized by Council to furnish the numbers at the rate of 25 cents for those on tin, and 24 cents for each figure in gilt. It is not compulsory on property-holders to have the work done by the engineers, but they must have somebody do it, or do it themselves. Another Suit Against Frazier. Mareus E. Frazier and the Globe Mutual Life Assessment Association are defendants in another Bait from the holder of a certificate in that organization. Charles E. Repp is plaintiff, and he claims that he is entitled to $2,000 on a certificate issued to Elizabeth Maule, who died in June last. He alleges that the money was collected by Frazier, and that he appropriated it to his Own use, "spending ami squandering it.’’ It is further charged that Frazier made false entries in the books to cover np his alleged embezzlement, and afterwards secretly removed the books to lowa. Repp wants a judgment in full ani an order from court to have Frazier bring the books back so they oan b() given in evidence as to his charges, The Moennerchor Fair. This is the opening day of the Mrennerchor fair. The committee on decorations has finished its work, and the hall presents a very attractive appearance.

The County Commissioners yesterday again disappointed the hopeful applicants for positions under them. Commissioner Sahra said one earnest seeker for the court-house janitor's place approached him with an appeal something like this: "Yon ought to appoint me and must, for tin lives of a half dozen families are depending on my getting the position." Liquor licenses hold the attention of the board. Thirty-one were granted yesterday, and one application was laid over until Thursday. It was Jacob Crone’s, of Broad Ripple, where a number of citizens have protested against his receiving a license. A "Tough" Again In Trouble. Yesterday afternoon John W. Healing, of the corner of Lincoln and Columbia avenue, went into his butcher shop and began, it is charged, reprimanding his employe, Win. T. Kennedy, for not keeping the blocks clean. Kennedy retorted, which so angered Kealinff that he shot at him. The ball missed Kennedy, but he did not stop for further parley. Keiling was arrested for assault and battery with intent to kill. He says his helper had him arrested because he refused to raise his salary. Compensation for Stolen Turkeys. It will be remembered that Farmer Jennings, of Fike township, a year ago came into possession of a fine team of horses aud a spring wagon left by turkeythieves who visited his barn-yard. The thieves never put in a claim for the wagon And horses, and yesterday Deputy .Sheriff Hamilton sold the turn out under the estray law. Farmer Jennings became the purchaser. Take Down the Drapery.

fire u extinguished, hut the danger to the building for a while looked threatening. The drapery on buildings in this city, having answered the purpose for which it was put on, should be taken off without further delay. An accident like that at Jeffersonville repeated here might entail greater loss. PRISONERS SENTENCED. Criminal Offenders Sent to Prison by Judge Woods in the Federal Court. The prisoners convicted in the federal court of criminal offenses during its recent term were sentenced yesterday by Judge Woods. Isaac Reynolds, the counterfeiter who was caught by the police manufacturing spurious coin in this city a few weeks ago, was sentenced on a plea of guilty, to two years imprisonment in the penitentiary, and Edward Carstegan, who was arrested for complicity with Reynolds, was, in consideration of his youth and previous good reputation, sentenced to only one day in the county jail, and fined $lO and costs. He will be released from custody to-day. the fine and costs having been paid by his father. Charles Noe, the Democratic mail-carrier, of this city, who was detected in stealing registered letters within a short time after he entered the service, was given the lightest punishment that could be imposed in his case, his sentence being fixed at one year in the county work-house, with the additional penalty of a fine of $l5O. Louis W. Lyle, who personated a pension examiner and collected money from claimants in Spencer county, on the pretense that he could procure the immediate al>, lowance of their pensions, was sentenced to one year in the northern prison and fined $lO. A Stinging Verdict. Coroner Stratford yesterday recorded the following verdict relative to the death of Mrs. Mae Hancock, wife of C. E. Hancock, Nov. 18: *‘l find that she was driven to suicide by the brutal and inhuman treatment of her husband, he having persuaded her from a good, kind, widowed mother’s home while yet a child, debauched her, took her to vile places, then tries to blacken her character when dead by repeating her short-comings.” He also gave a verdict as to the death of John Lund, who was run over by a J., M. & I. train Nov. 28, in which he says the train was run at a speed of forty miles an hour through the village of Southport where the accident occurred.

Yesterday afternoon a Journal reporter was shown a beautiful piece ot jewelry made to order by John Wimmer, and intended as a Christmas present It is a ring for a thirty-third de gree Mason, and scarce as are Mason’s of this exalted degree, rings of the beauty and workmanship of this one are yet scarcer, so scarce, indeed, that it is safe to say that there is not another emblematic ring of an order in the State that can compare with this one, in elegance of design or exquisite workmanship. It has been seen by nearly all the jewelers of this city, and there is from those who have seen it but the one expression of opinion, that it is unique. The center of the setting is a raised onyx, upon which the talismanic figures “33” are eqcrusted, in gold and set about with twelve diamonds, formed in a triangle, the stones weighing slightly more than two carats. The band is in three separate circlets of gold, with two blaclienameled circlets dividing them. A number of those who have seen the ring say that it can not be excelled in the United States. Mr. Wimmer’s place is at No. 10 North Pennsylvania Street. Bfautiful Robes—' Timber and prairie and wolf, Japanese wolf and other skins, at Bambergers. Notice. THROUGH CAR SERVICE TO FT. WAYNE.
