Should Be Thankftil for What She Had and Not Seek Promotion. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, March 2.—A lady clerk in the Treasury Department went to Register Rosenerans the other day and said: “General, I wonder why I am not promoted. I have been kept in the same grade for years. My Work is performed satisfactorily, and others with poor records are promoted all around me." “What’s your salary?” inquired old Rosy. “Twelve hundred,” replied the lady. “Good gracious!” exclaimed the old man; “you ought to be tnankful you get that, and never ask for a promotion. Why, we are raising money every day to send good Democrats home who have come here, from all parts of the country, to get places, and who have not succeeded.” The Signal Service Investigation. Washington, March 2. —The House committee on expenditures in the War Department yesterday resumed the examination into the accounts of the Signal Service. Comptroller Maysard was the only witness examined. He produced a number of vouchers in which it is claimed there are irregularities. Some of them were for materials purchased, iu large amounts, for the construction of military telegraph lines, in regard to which the law and the army regulations requiring advertisements for proposals were disregarded. Among these materials were iron telegraph poles costing $3 a piece, which were furnished by a Washington firm and were delivered in Washington. In regard to the Point Barrow expedition, for which Mr. Maynard could find no authority at all, there was a voucher for $4,000 for the use of a schooner, several vouchers for the monthly pay of a cook, one for a barrel of whisky, books, including “Innocence Abroad” and “Roughing It,” none ot them having relation to the science of Meteorology. Mr. Maynard stated that if there was sny authority for the expedition itself, the transportation and supplies should have been furnished through the Quartermaster’s departments. There was no authority for the employment of a cook. The investigation will continue next Friday, when Mr. Maynard will produce other vouchers regarded as irregular. The Signal Service has not. thus far, been represented at any of the meetings of the committee. Patents for Indianians. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, March 2.

Hannibal, Mo., March 2. —The City Council &ft night repealed the ordinance granting the iaeenri and Kansas Telephone Company the franchise to Its strata and alleys over which to run its wires. A contract is. in existence brhfsh says that the oompany should charge only $3 per month for each instrument whemthe num-

ber of subscribers reached one hundred. Notwithstanding this, the company has been charging $4. The City Council made the demand several weeks ago that tbe rate be reduced to the contract pried. This the company flatly refused to do, and the Council, last night, repealed the ordinance granting the oompany the privilege of using its streets. St. Louis, March 2.— The Supreme Court of this State rendered an opinion yesterday in the case of the Julia Building Association against the Bell Telephone Company. The case came before the Supreme Court on an appeal from the judgment of the St Louis Court of Appeals. The Bell Telephone Company, in erecting poles on Sixth street, opposite a dry goods store owned by plaintiff, cut through the stone pavement and removed a portion of the masonry that forms the wall of the cellar of the building. This, the Julia Building Association claimed, would result in great injury. The opinion, which is very lengthy, is to the effect that telephone poles are a necessity, and when a c mpany secures from the State and city the rignt to erect them, citizens owning property adjacent to the street cannot prevent it THE DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN.

deemed it advisable to place two colored men in bis room, to keep constant watch over him. About 9 this morning he proved too much for them, and breaking away from their grasp, jumped through a window of his room, which was on the sixth floor of the hotel. It overlooked the court in the center of the building. When he fell he lit on the wire-work covering the glass of the read-ing-room. The attendants rushed down stairs in great alarm, supposing their charge would be killed by the fall, but when he was picked up and examined it could not be ascertained that any bones were broken, or that he had sustained any serious injury. The physicians are hopeful he will recover.

Upon receipt of this, you will immediately take your departure from this city, or be introduced to a lamp-post and presented with six feet of hemp. By Order of the Committee of Ten.

J.—Suits for partition have not been, and are not now, the subjects of exclusive equitable jurisdiction, and a jury may be demanded. 12196. Falmouth & Lewisville Turnpike Company vs. David P. Shawhan. Rush C. C. Reversed. Zollars J. —Where one subscribes for shares of stock in a gravel road, promising to pay the amount set opposite his name, the contract of subscription, in a suit against the subscriber for an assessment on the stock, is one in writing the statute fixing the manner of payment nnd the six years’statute of limitation does not govern. 12221. City of Fort Wayne vs. Samuel H. Shoaff et al. Allen S. C. Affirmed. Elliott, J. —A common council of a city has no jurisdiction to assess the cost of improving property owned Dy the city for market purposes upon adjoining property-owners, such proceedings being void. The appropriate remedy by the property-owner is an injunction. 11976. L., E. &St L. Railway Company vs. Hiram L. Thomas. Gibson C. C. Affirmed. Howk, J.—(l.) Where the evidence shows, in an action for the value of a mare killed by a railroad, that the railroad track was fenced on both sides, hut that there ware no wing fences to a cattle-guard, and that she went on without hindrance and was killed, etc., the track cannot be regarded as securely fenced in at the point where the mare entered, within the meaning of the statute absolving railroad companies from liability for animals killed at points securely fenced. (2.) Where the evidence tends to show that the mare was killed by actual contact with the locomotive the verdict will not be disturbed. 12358. L., N. A. &C. Railroad Company vs. Green C. Sumner.

(2.)

Fairbanks, corner of Park avenue and Tinker street, was last evening the scene of a most interesting and brilliant event —a banquet given by tbe hostess in honor of the first anniversary of the organization of the Fortnightly Literary Club. The “Fortnightly” has a membership of thirty ladies, and each member being privileged to invite a friend, about sixty guests assembled to grace and dignify the occasion. The gay dressing of the ladies, the beautiful floral decorations throughout the house, and the gala air which everywhere pervaded, greeted the entering guest with a sense of great enjoyment. Early in the evening the grosser, but very delightful material portion of the banquet, claimed the attention of the society and its visitors, after which the musical and literary programme was presented. Song and sentiment were diversified by applause and laughter, and were apporpriately followed by able impromptu addresses from the various gentlemen present, who, it was observed, bore themselves with that modesty becoming tbeir temporary subordinate position. After a season of social converse, at a late hour, tbe assembly dispersed. A noticeable point in connection with the “Fortnightly” is the great amount of legal talent represented in it by proxy, the names of Baker, Hendricks, Claypool, Denny, Dye, Butler, Fmch, Jacobs, Fairbanks, Woods and Allen appearing on the membership roll. Following was the programme:

They are very agreeable and strengthening. A short time ago I got in a profuse perspiration while preaching. Imprudently going home without my overcoat, I lost the use of my voice, and the next day had a violent pain in ray back, kidneys and chest. I could hardly breathe. Three Allcock’s Plasters, applied to my back, chest and kidneys, cured me completely in six hours. I was astonished how quick my breathing became easy after applying.” DIED.
