The suit against the Woodruff Sleeping-car Company, by Bruce Carr, in behalf of the State, require the company to make an annual report of its earnings, and for the collection of unpaid taxes, came up before Judge Ayres yesterday morainjr. and on a ruling for the defendant was appealed to the Supreme Court The defendants had petitioned for a change of venue, but when the case was called the motion was withdrawn, and an amended complaint filed, statins that the company simply ran its cars across the Ftate, and that it did no business on any railroad operated exclusively in the State. Further, that none of its rolling stock was kept within ihe State; that the principal office of the company was in Philadelphia, Pa , and that it operated only orer the L, B. & W., from Columbus, O., to Peoria, 111, and over the Grand papids & Jliehipan line from Cincinnati to M&ckiaaw. For the reasons stated, the complaint claimed that the State had no rieht to levy a tax on its earnings and receipts. The attorneys for the plaintiff filed a demurrer to the tmecded complaint, but Judge Ayres overruled Ihe demurrer, and held that the company's arcings were not subject to taxation unless it Sould be shown that they run cars on roads operated exclusively within the State. There lems to be no doubt among attorneys but what Ihe Supreme Court will sustain the decision of fudge Ayres, and the defect of this law suggests that there is a necessity for a legislative enactaaest making it possible to compel companies like the Woodruif to pay taxes on their earnings Ssside the State, ee display ia Wm.

A BBILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT

A Large and Fashionable Gathering at the First Assembly Ball Last Night. Over. Two' Hundred Eepresentatives of the City's Youth and Beauty in Attendance Elaborate and Beautiful Decorations. The most fashionable event in social circles in Indianapolis, for many years, was the assembly given last night, at the New Denison Hotel, and the gathering, of some two hundred or more, was composed of the leading families and the youth and beauty of the city. The arrangements, in every particular, were executed with skill and judgment. The reception occurred in the spacious parlors, and the large dining-room was cleared for the daneing. The decorations were elaborate and unique. From the sides and corners of the room bands of evergreen and arbor vitas crossed and recro&sed, and over the center of each end of the room they were festooned. The effect was like that of a bower. Each window was banked with tropical plants. The grand march took place soon after 9 o'clock, and no more elegantly-attired gathering has been seen here. The order by the committee for full dress was strictly adhered to. The music was furnished by aa orchestra of select players, and the floral ornamentation was quite elaborate. The refreshment rooms were open from 10 o'clock till midnight, and an excellent menu was served. At 11 o'clock the german was commenced, led by llr. and Mrs. Harvey Bates, jr. The figures were novel and the favors pretty, most of thm being made by Mrs. Bates and her friends. The finale was a ''Thanksgiving market." A booth was erected and covered with snowy cloth, and from it were suspended the favors, vegetables, meats and fish, made of fine Japanese silk, but so perfect was the counterfeit that the appearance was deceptive. There were two figures and three favor figures danced, and the departure from the scene of the festivities was not made until a late hour. The second assembly will be given some time about the holidays, and will be looked for ward to with . pleasant anticipations by those who were present last night, among them being 3Ir. and Mrs. Benj.

There was a breeze in the postoffiee yesterday and two of the employes dropped from the official limb. One of tbem was John Gorsuch, boxclerk, who has been in the office for about thirteen years. The authorities at the office state that the immediate1 cause of his discharge was carelessness. They say that on the 13th inst a letter containing a check for $10,000 came to the office, addressed to Mr. Beck, of the stockvards; that Gorsncb removed it from the stock -yards box and laid it away in some other place; that be forgot nil about it, and, in consequence, it was not delivered until last Sunday; that Mr. Beck made complaint, and -Gorsuch admitted that the mistake was doe to his carelessness. Mr. Gorsuch is a Republican. The other employe was John Murphy of the registry department. The authorities say as to him that there has been a small ruction with Ben Jones, which occurred several weeks ago; that he has been contemplating the resignation of bis position for several weeks, and simply, handed it in yesterday. It ia to take effect on Jan. 1. Mr. Gpreneh says that he has nothing to say on the subject beyond that he has tried to do his duty pronerly and thinks he has done so. He misplaced the Beck letter, putting it in a wrong box. by accident, and it was delayed seven or eight days. Mr. Murphy could not be found by Journal reporter last evening. It is reported, however, on good authority, that the trouble in bis case arose from his refusing some weks ago to sign a pav roll in blank. Be insisted on the amount of his salary being filled in first. In consequence of this, the superior officers have made life a burden to him, and one Btep led to another in the quarrel, until yesterday he was requested to resign, and did so. The Walking: Match.
