John Day has bi’ought suit for damages in the sum of $5,000, against Luke G. Butterfield, Mary L. Barr and Leopold A. Jenner. Day complains that the defendants caused him to bo arrested, about the 9th day of December, 1884, charged with stealing a saw-log from Mary L. Barr; that he was deprived of his liberty for six hours, tried before a justice of the peace and acquitted. Plaintiff claims the prosecution to have been malicious, and that he has thereby been greatly injured in reputation and brought into public scandal and disgrace. Josiah McMillan has brought suit against John L. Bailey and Wm. H. Woods for SBOO and all proper reiief. Plaintiff alleges that defendants represented themselves as owning property which they did not own, and upon which they gave to him a mortgage, whereby they secured from him certain promissory notes, valued at SBOO. The C. & A. Receivership. The application for the appointment of a receiver for the Chicago & Atlantic railway will be argued before Judge Gresham in Chicago next Friday morning.

A quartet rendered appropriate music. There was a large representation

of railroad men present, and a number of the leading business men, all of whom highly esteemed the deceased for his honorable methods. All agree that but for his physical disabilities, Mr. Lewis would have been one of the ablest men in the railroad service in the country. A< it was, but few could accomplish what he did from day to day, long after he was, by illness, unfitted for so arduous duties. The following gentlemen officiated as pall bearers: Wm. R. McKeen, H. R. Duval, Charles Millard, J. A. Perkins, H. C. Diehl and Edmund F. Gall. MISS WILLIAMS’S PRETTY SCHEME. The Trouble Caused by an Edinburg Girl’s Desire to Make a Few Dollars. Miss Birdie Williams, who advertised a complexion recipe in a Cincinnati paper over the romantic name of Inez Victoria Le Grande, was brought to the city from Edinburg yesterday by Deputy United States Marshal Hart, together with Mr. Joshua Sims, the Edinburg postmaster. William McAllister, the deputy postmaster, was arrested Monday night by Deputy Marshal Stein. The three were brought before Commissioner Jordan for a preliminary trial, but this was postponed until to-morrow, and they were each released on bail for SSOO. Miss Williams is a bright and rather good looking young lady, whose ace Is probably closely approximate to twenty years. She was accompanied by her father, who is a respectable citizen of Edinburg, and who was, it seems, entirely ignorant of his daughter’s ambition to become a woman of wealth by following, in a small way, the example of the once famous Lydia Piukham. She makes no denial of having advertised the complexion receipe, over an assumed name, and freely admits that the propriety of the scheme might be somewhat questionable, but she protests that she had no thought of violating the law, and that she honestly intended to send a recipe to her correspondents. She received no money, however, as all the letters addressed to her were held at the postoffice in this city. That the scheme was a shrewd one and would have borne golden fruit is shown by the fact that within two days after the advertisement appeared, twenty eight letters, each containing 20 cents, were received at the postoffice in this city from women in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. If the complexions of some of these gullible women are as bad as their spelling and writing, they are deplorably in need of very heroic remedies. A Vincennes vroman, whose letter indicated that she was fairly well educated, wanted her recipe right away, and as it hatfnot been sent to her yet, owine to circumstances over which Miss Inez Victoria Le Grande has no control, she has doubtless despaired of ever acquiring the “clear, creamy beauty’’ she so impatiently hoped for. A Hagerstown girl, doubtless in awe of the name assumed by the advertiser, addresses her as “Respected Madam.” A Fort Wayne correspondent who was anxious to get the recipe, but wrote to learn how she should send the moßey, will doubtless be gratified to know that she has saved twenty cents by her ignorance. Some of the letters were very daintily written, and were from women who it would be supposed were too intelligent, no matter how ugly, to be so gulled by such an advertisement Postmaster Sims was in no way concerned in the scheme, it seems, but he exasperated the special agent who investigated the case by endeavoring to shield Miss Williams from arrest. In what way Mr. McAilister is connected with the case, further than that bis relations with Miss Williams are supposed to be of a tender nature, is not made clear by such evidence as has been disclosed. "When he discovered that she had made herself liable to arrest by her little venture, which was entirely an independent enterprise, he began doing what he could to get her out of the trouble, and it is understood that bis interest in her is of a nature that made it proper for him to do what he could to shield her. WABASH AND AIR-LIN3. The Petition of the Latter for a Restraining Order Argued in the Federal Court. The petition for a restraining order to enjoin the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific Railway Company from forcing the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago trains to cease running over the Wabash tracks from Howland’s Station to the Union Depot, was argued in the federal court, before Judge Woods, yesterday. The Air-line company declares that the rental has been advanced by the Wabash to SI,OOO more a month than the amount stipulated in the contract, in answer to the petition of the Air line, the Wabash people state that there was $7,144.p3 due from the Air-line, as rental, on Nov. 1, and that there is now $3,008.25 more due. It is claimed that the Air-line also agreed to pay one-half of all taxes levied on the property which it used, but that it has failed to do this, and the delinquency now amounts to several hundred dollars. The Wabash rouud-house has also been used by the Airline company, and it is claimed that there is $2,000 a year due on this account, besides sl,876.99 for labor. There was no ruling made in the case.

The Ritxinger Creditors. Over two hundred of the creditors of Ritzingers’ bank met at Mozart Hall last evening, with Gabriel Schmuck in the chair, and C. C. Koerner, secretary. Mr. Schmuck, speaking for the trustees previously appointed to confer with A. W. and Frank Ritzinger with a view to having them give bond and close out the assets of the bank at as little expense to the creditors as possible by dispensing with the assignee, reported that the Ritzingers expressed themselves as unable to furnish the required sureties which, of course, resulted in the falling through of that project He said he had talked with George B. Yandes, the assignee, who expressed himself as anxious to wind up the affairs of the bank as rapidly as possible, and that Mr. Yandes had suggested to him the propriety of the creditors appointing an advisory board to act with him, giving him advice and aid in disposing of the real estate. Mr. Schmuck was unanimously chosen a member of the proposed advisory board, and, on motion of Dr. Wagner, empowered to appoint the two other members. Mr. Schmuck then named as his colleagues Wharton R. Clinton and John A. Schumacher, and the meeting adjourned.

AN AMBIGUOUS CIRCULAR. The Telephone Company Indicates a Determination to Withdraw from tho State, The following somewhat ambiguous circular issued by the Central Union Telephone officers at Chicago, was received by Supt J. E. Hockett last night: “To Our Patrons in Indiana: “This company announces with regret that, in view of the recent decision of the Supreme Court of Indiana sustaining the validity of the law reducing telephone rentals and toll-line charges, it has voted to decline all new business in the larger cities, where it is impossible to furnish service under the law without loss; to forthwith give notice of the termination, at the earliest possible date, of the contracts of all subscribers in such places; to make the continuance of exchange business in smaller places dependent upon the possibility of continuing under the law without loss, and to appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. This conclusion has been reached after a careful and thorough revision of the estimates which were submitted to the committee of the Senate and the Governor of the State, and upon which the oaths of its officers in the impending litigation were based, showing that the company could not profitably carry on its business under the present law. Much time has been spent in an effort to devise some plan by which all of its exchanges and toll-lines could be continued, but to no purpose. In conclusion, the company desires to express to all of its subscribers its thanks for their patronage, and especially to the majority, who have felt, in common with its officers, the inexpediency and injustice of the law.” Superintendent Hockett was seen by a Journal reporter last evening and questioned as to the probable meaning of the circular. “I suppose,” said he, “that it means that the company will withdraw from Indiana as soon as it can terminate the contracts by which it is now bound. When the agreement was reached by the citizens’ committee and the telephone people, we reserved the right to terminate the contracts of all those signing the protest on fifteen days’ notice. Our contracts with the other subscribers, however, bind us to give them thirty days’ notice before the expiration of the quarter for which the rental has been paid. As these have been paid up to June 30, we could not discontinue their service before that date. We could defer giving notice to the others until June 15, and then let all go out together, and this will probably be done. I know nothing more definite than what is indicated by the circular you have; but shall doubtless hear further in the course of a day or two.” “How and when does the company propose to refund the extra $2 per month paid by the subscribers, according to the agreement with the committee?” “We have been making provisions for this for several days, and are now about ready to make settlement with all. Since the new law went into effect, no bills have been rendered patrons for services rendered by means of the toll lines, and the company is entitled to many rebates on the total amount to be refunded on this account. Asa matter of fact, the bills of many of the patrons for toll-line charges greatly exceed the amount due them under the agreement, and the work of making out all these bills, itemized as they are, has been a very great one. However, we have now about concluded all preliminaries, and are ready to begin the refunding process.”

AMUSEMENTS. THE ELKS BENEFIT, The Elkfc will give a public social at English’s March 10. The opening address will be delivered by Hon. John W. Kern. The indications are that the house will be packed, and those who have bought tickets of members of the order will do well to secure their reserved seats without delay at the box-office. No extra charge for reserved seats. The bill will be made up of the best local and professional talent, and will be unusually attractive. NOTES. Le Ciair and Russell, clever men in many ways, are delighting good houses at the Zoo. A good bill is presented and business is in proportion. The Museum was again packed last night. ‘‘The Boy Scout” has scored a great success, and the performances seem to please the audiences very much. Mr. Dan’l Sully and his company repeated “The Corner Grocery” to another well-pleased audience at the Grand last night It will be seen again this afternoon and to-night, which will conclude the engagement At Plymouth Church, to-night, the Till family, or Rock Band, will give one of their novel and enjoyable entertainments. They make wonderful music on stones of various shapes and sizes. In addition to this there will be other features, and the entertainment is highly spoken of. “A Midnight Marriage,” as rendered by Mr. Redmund and Mrs. Barry, was repeated at English’s last night to a well-pleased audience. It will be the bill for this afternoon and to-night, after which “The Golden Nugget,” a dramatization of Charles Reade’s “Never Too Late to Mend,” will fill out the week, with the two fine actors named in leading parts. The advance sale of reserved seats-for the performances of “The Mikado.” next Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee, at the Grand, began at the box office yesterday, and there was such a demand as to indicate very large audiences. The production will be under the direction of Professor Ernestinoff, and the opera will be given with a chorus of fifty trained voices and an orchestra of thirty pieces. The sale of seats will continue from day to day. The production will be in English, and the society will be assisted by Mrs. Loon Bailey, Mr. C. B. Foster and Mr. S. L. Morrison. The advance sale of seats for the brief engagement of the Strakosch Grand English Opera Company at English’s Opera-house, next Monday and Tuesday evenings, will begin on Friday morning at the box-office. A pleasing feature of this noteworthy engagement is the popular prices of $1 for reserved seats on the lower floor, and 75 cents on the upper floor, with 50 cents admission to the family circle. The company is entirely composed of members of the American opera company, and consists of sixty people. Monday evening, March 8, Flotow’s charming opera, “Martha;” Tuesday evening, Bizets grand romantic opera, “Carmen.” Each opera will be carefully and handsomely mounted. The scenery, costumes and stage accessories, it is promised, will leave nothing to be desired. The cast for “Martha” introduces the following principals: Kate Bensberg, Annis Montague, George Appleby, William H. Lee, Mr. E. D. Knight. ■ ■■ ■ —— - THE BRIEF. The semi-annual interest on the temporary loan of $600,000 amounting to $10,500, was paid yesterday by the State Treasurer. The Hendricks Club met last nieht, with a large attendance. Ross Clarke read a paper on Stephen A. Douglass, which was well received. Burglars effected an entrance to the room of John P. Gately, at No. 17 Kentucky avenue, last night, and carried away an overcoat, with several other articles of clothing. Permits were issued yesterday to A. J. Bobes for S4OO repairs on No. 49 Indiana avenue; to Levi Marshall, $350 repairs on dwelling; to Robert Waide, SIOO on frame office on Peru street, near Seventh. Marriage licenses were issued by the county clerk yesterday to David E. Yeates and Sarah Burchette, William Howard and Katie Anderson," Lafayette Snell and Mary L. Patterson, Edward Johnson and Jennie Crawford, Wilson Chapman and Hannah Oliver, David P. Cook and Laura F. Mayer, Benjamin O. Haueh and Mary E. Blake, John Parker and Jennie McDonald. Unsuccessful Attempt at Robbery. John Wren, the driver of street car No. 51, after making the turn at the corner of New Jersey and McCarty streets for the return trip, last evening, about 7 o'clock, stepped back in the car to pick up a note which had been dropped. While reading it, he heard a man trying w jerk hit money-box from the place where he had

fastened it with a Strap. H$ gjarted toward the fellow, who ran and succeeded ifi escaping. although a shot was fired at him by Wren. The robber did not get the money-box. The Farm and Live Stock* The initial number of the “Farm and Live Stock,” a monthly journal devoted to the interests indicated in its title, has made its appearance, and creates a very favorable impression. It is composed of sixteen pages of excellent matter pertinent to the farm; beautifully printed and admirably arranged. Edited by Mr. Charles M. Walker, for years an editor well known. It is certain to take high rank and prove a valuable periodical. It is published in this city, at the nominal price of 50 cents a year. Pollard at Buenos Ayres. A letter was received in this city, yesterday, by a relative of the wife of R. B. Pollard, of township warrant notoriety, written by that lady at Buenos Ayros, S. A., about Feb. 1. The letter stated that Pollard and his wife had just reached that city by steamer, but that they found the yellow fever so epidemic that they were afraid to remain, and would probably sail for Europe within a few days after the writing of the letter. Work on the New Asylums. The regular monthly meeting of the new Insane Hospital commissioners was hold yesterday, but further than the allowance of $2,000 for work on the Richmond building and $1,600 to the contractors of Evansvilie asylum, there was nothin gos any special importance done. Yery li ttlework is being done now, and not until there is sufficient money in the treasury to pay the estimates will active operations be resumed. The Dilatory Commissioners. A meeting of the police commissioners was held yesterday afternoon, but the business of the meeting was all of a routine character, and no action was taken toward the consummation of the contemplated removal of Superintendent Lang. That there is a determination to remove him is not denied, but why action in the matter is delayed cannot be learned from the commissioners. Not Pleuro-Pneumonla. Dr. Bradbury, the health officer of Delaware county, reports that, after having made a thorough investigation in relation to the matter, he finds that the cattle disease prevailing there is not pleuro-pneumonia, and there are no symptoms indicating anything of that kind.
