" The remonstrance of the citizens of Maywood aeainst grantioe Carl Ilabich a license to open a saloon in their midst has been set for trial next Thursday. Between twenty and thirty liquor licenses were granted yesterday. It was Henry Albro, not Orville H., who was arrested at tbe instigation of Samuel C. Seaton, who charged him with obtaining money under false pretenses. The mistake occurred iu putting the wrong name in the warrant. The Clinton Natural-gas and Oil Company, of Frankfort, filed its articles with the Secretary of State yesterday. Th capital stock is $150,000. Tbe directors are W. B. Kramer, J. G. Clark, S. F. Allen, S. P. Barnes, D. A. Coulter, S. O. Bay less and D. W. Osborne. Building permits were issued yesterday to A. R. Baker, to rebuild his residence, at the corner of California and Michigan streets, recently destroyed by fire, at an expense of $2,000, and to Adam Green, for a frame cottage, on High street, near Coburn, to oost $900. Ernest Amiet, six years old, was knocked down and run oer by a butcher's wagon in front of No. 4 engine-honse last evening. His foot was mashed, bis face disfigured, and be receivea otber injuries of a dangerous nature, which were given attention by Dr. C. L Fletcher. WANTED TO KILL HEESELF. Wednesday night Mrs. Margaret Ricbter, living at No. 1G1 West Maryland street, bad a quarrel with her husband, and afterward swallowed fifteen grains of morphine and an ounce of laudanum with suicidal intent. She took too much of the poison, and what the overdose rtid not do as an antidote in itself, Dr. Earp did with the usual remedies in saving ber life. SPECIAL SERVICES BY; CATHOLIC CHURCHES. Yesterday was the feast of the Immaculato Conception and. also of St Mary. In honor of the occasion St. Mary's Church was handsomely decorated and services were held. High mass was celebrated by Vicar -general Seheidler, Father Quieley and Father Sehopp at 10 o'clock in the morning. Special services for the Youne Ladies' Sodality were held at 3 o'clock in tbe afternoon. IX MEMORY OF JUDGE DENNY. Quite a nnmber of attorneys assembled in Superior Court room No. 1, yesterday afterternoon, to pay tribute to the memory of tbe late Jud? J. C. Danny. Judge A. C. Ayres presided, and Merrill Moores acted as secretary. A memorial was prepared setting forth the good finalities of the deceased, which was unamiously adopted and ordered spread upon the record of the courts. FELL AGAINST A CIRCULAR SAW. Mathew Jackson, employed in Marry & Co.'s saw-mill on Home avenue, met with a distressing accident at 5 o'clock last evening. While passing by the eircnlar saw, which was in motion, he slipped and fell against it, and his left leg was so badly laterated that it had to be amputated. He was removed to the City Hospital by Planner & Buchanan. So far as known, he has no relatives in the city. AN INSANE MAN AWAY FJtOM HOME. J. H. Brandon, superintendent of the County Infirmary at Greenville, 0.,has writen to Superintendent Travis stating that there is an insane man in his care who says his name is Andy L, Houscb, and that bis home is in Indianapolis. The man, he says, was put off a Bee-line train at Greenville several days ago, and was sent to the infirmary. The authorities at the Insane Hospital say the man does not belong in the institution. FUNERALS OF OLD GERMAN CITIZENS. Henry Mankedick and Jacob Hermann, two of the oldest German citizens of the eity. were buried yesterday. The funeral services of Mr. Mankedick took place at tbe German Orphans' Home, and were attended by several bnndred people. Itev. Peters officiated. The services over the remains of Mr. Hermann occurred at his home on East Market street. They were also under the direction of Rer. Peters. Both were interred at Crown Hill. PARDONED BECAUSE! HE WAS A WIDOWER. Hensley Thomas, a colored man, who was convicted in the United States Court, about two months ago, of selling liquor without license at Knightstown, received a pardon from the President yesterday. He had been sentenced to thirty days' imprisonment and $100 fine equivalent to sixty days. He had served forty-eight days. The principal ground of the pardon, aside from the minor nature of the offense, was that be was a widower with two small children. COLLECTING CHANGE OF VENUE FEES. Deputy County Clerk Gus O'Bryan who, a year ago, was appointed by the commissioners to collect fees due from other counties on change of venue cases, reported to the board yesterday that since last January he had collected delinquent fees amonnting to $3. 129. Until Mr. O'Bryan suggested, a year ago, that be be allowed to collect tbe delinquent fees for a small commission, no effort was made to collect them. The average payment from other counties, which was voluntary, averaged but $250 per year. Mr. O'Bryan has been so successful in tracing down the outstanding amounts that he will be continued in the position. ANOTHER MEETING OF POSTMASTERS. The third and fourth-class postmasters of the Seventh congressional district met at the Grand Hotel yesterdav afternoon, to select delegates to the convention of postmasters of this degree, which 's to be held in Washington on the 15th inst Tbe object is to urge the passage of a bill to increase their compensation and to have the government pay office rent and clerk hire. Benjamin Brown, of Franklin, one of the delegates appointed by the Fifth district postmasters, recently, was present and gave his fellow-officers an idea or two as .to the wishes of those he will represent. His statements were approved by the Seventh district officials, who selected W. P. Canfield. of Haughville, and Dr. N. J. Howard, jr., as their delegates. MUST KEEP WITHIN THEIR APPROPRIATION. The State Board of Health asked Attorneygeneral Michener if it could sell some furniture for which it had no use, and apply the proceeds to its current appropriation. The fnrnitura was bought with tbe money appropriated for tbe board some years ago, and it was thought by its sale this year's resources could be increased sufficiently to allow it to make some expenditures, which cannot be done with the money at command without crippling the board's onerations. The Attorney -general has given an opinion that the proceeds from such sale oust be covered into the treasury, and that the Board of Healtn cannot this year go beyond an expenditure of $5,000, the amount of the appropriation made by the General Assembly of 18S5. EXHIBITION OF FINE FOWLS. Representative Sid Conger was in tbe eity last night on his way to St. Louis, where the Missouri Poultry Exhibition occurs next week. He will have one hundred fowls of several varieties among the exhibits. After that show is through he, with others of the executive committee of tbe Indiana Association, will complete their arrangements for the exhibition that is to be held here in January. Mr. Conger says this exhiDition will be .the largest and most interesting the association has ever arrangedfor, as its exhibits will be enhanced by many from the Eastern States, particularly New Hampshire. At the same time the American Association will meet here, with delegates trom every State in the Union. AFFAIRS OF THE SOUTHERN PRISON. Warden Patten, of tbe southern prison, was in the city yesterday, on bis way borne from Columbu9, O., where be had been attending the national convention of prison wardens. He thinks be will be able to manage tbe southern prison this year with $72,000 the amount of the last atrprooriation. In this be includes repairs that will have to be made. Tbe repairs that have been completed, he says, put the buildings in good condition, and what is necessary to be done will make thm serviceable for years. He baa no trouble with the prisoners, whose complaints, be Teports, are few and trivial. Hol-

lingeworth. the Knox county defaulter, is a wreek, be says, from melancholy. He is utterly worthless as a prisoner, and if be does not become more of a man when be is free once more he will not live long. Jack Howard, the ex'wsrden, is out of business altogether, and Hewitt, tbe ex-clerk, is dying from cancer.

Items from the Courts. SUED BY THE CASH-RAILWAY COMPANY. The Lawson Cash-railway Company filed a suit in the United States Circuit Court, yesterday, against Wtn. Laurie ar.d others for using without license the plaintiffs' patent appliance for sending money to the cashier's desk in stores. FINED FOR RIOTING ON LABOR DAY. ' Pat Ryan, Charles Powell and Daniel Casey were tried in the Criminal Court, yesterday, for participating in a riot on Sept. 5, "labor holiday." Tbe three men got drunk ont on Arsenal avenue, and created a great disturbance before the police were able to arrest them. Powell was acquitted, and Casey and Ryan were fined $5 each. CONTINUANCE OF RAPPAPORT'S LIBEL CASE. The libel suit of Philip Rappaport against the Sentinel will probably not be tried to-morrow, as the plaintiff's attorneys have asked for a continuance. There is a probability that the case will not come to trial at all, as Mr. Rappanort shows a disposition to dismiss and quit. The Sentinel is preparing to make a vigorous ficht, and is gathering evidence to prove that editor Rappaport is an avowed Anarchist. AWARDED SIX DOLLARS FOE DAMAGES. The trial of the case of William Shiel against John Bert for $5,000 damages, for maintaining a cess pool that contaminated tbe water iu the plaintiffs well and caused bis family to have typhoid fever, was concluded yesterday afternoon, and tbe jury, after being out a short time, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for $0. The evidence showed that the suit grew out of a neighborhood quarrel. Recently there have been a great many such suits filed in the Superior Court, and the attortfevs and judges are disgusted with such litigation. OVERRULED STURM'S PETITION FOR REHEARING. Judges Gresham and Woods yesterday over ruled the petition for rehearing in the case of Herman Stnrm against Hermann Boker & Co., the celebrated cause tried a few months ago, ia which Sturm sued the defendants for commission as their agent in tbe sale of a quantity of mnnitions of war to the Mexican government. Jndge Gresham held against Stnrm in tbe trial, and Jndge Woods for bim. As neither has changed his opinion, and as Jndge Gresham is superior in power, the case goes to the Supreme Court, if at all, on a judgment for defendants. WILL BE TRIED FOR PERJURY". James Burns, the Indiana-avenue ' saloonkeeper, who has been giving the police so much trouble for several months, will be placed on trial for perjury, in the Criminal Court, next Monday. Tbe charge is that be swore falsely before the Mayor while being tried forselling on Sunday. He has a half dozen cases pending in the Criminal Court which bave been appealed from tbe Mayor. Only a week ago be was fined $25 and costs and sentenced to thirty days in the work-house for selling on Sunday, and was fined $100 for selling without a license. Both cases have been appealed, and be is again at large. EVIDENCE THAT CAUSES DOUBTS. The suit of Mrs. Anna Hart agaicst Herman Ackelow, proprietor of the Circle House saloon, in which she asks $200 because Ackelow sold liquor to her husband, was tried before 'Sqnire Smock yesterday, and attracted considerable attention. The plaintiff testified that her husband came home under the influence of liquor, abused her and destroyed considerable of their household furniture Tbe husband himself, and several men who were with him on the day of his intoxication, testified that he purchased the liquor at Ackelow's place. When the defendant came upon the stand he testified that Hart did not purchase tbe whisky in his saloon, and his bartenders corroborated his testimony. Wiih such conflicting testimony 'Squire Smock took tbe case under advisement. There veemed to be no doubt in the mind of the justice about the defendant being liable for damages if there was sufficient proof that the liquor was purchased of him. PROTESTS AGAINsT STEEG'S REAPPOINTMENT Mayor Denny has not relinquished his effort to bave the commission of J. L. F. Steeg as a notary revoked. Yesterday be addressed a letter to-Judge Ayres. of the Circnit Court, calling attention to the fact that Steeg's commission will expire on the 19th of August next. "On the 19th of August, 1875," said the Mayor, ''he procured a certificate of good moral character and qualifications from the judge of the Circuit Court, upon which he was appointed a notary. Since then be bas bad no certificate entitling bim to appointment, although be has been twice reappointed since bis first commission expired. I believe that said Steeg has been guilty of conduct in connection with bis office dnrinc his present term that should prevent bis reappointment. This communication is, therefore, addressed to your Honor to respectfully notify you that I stand ready to prove that said Steeg is an unfit person to be again commissioned as a notary, and I ask that yon will decline to issue a certificate to him entitling him to appointment, until I have bad an opportunity to make such proof." Amusemeut Matters. EMMET AT THE GRAND OPERA-HOUSE. After years of continuous presentations, "Fritz, Our Cousin German." bas as firm a hold on tbe favor of tbe people as when it was first produced. Its common plaee story and pretensions of being a drama are atoned for by tbe perennial freshness of J. K. Emmet's ebaracterizationof the German emigrant. At tbe Grand, last night, a large audience greeted him with an enthusiasm which is accorded to no otber dialect actor. His simple songs charmed everyone, while the situations of tbe play, ridiculous as some of them are, dramatically speaking, were full of interest. But after all "Fritz" reconstructed does not bave the charm of the old play for those who knew Emmet in the earlier days of his success. The play has suffered by the change, but the actor retains his old-time power to amuse. The play will be repeated at every performance during Mr. Emmets present engagement, which closes Saturday night. THE V. M. C. A. CONCERT TO-XIGHT. The concert to be given to-night at Y. M. C A. Hall, No. 35 North Illinois street, under the direction of Prof. C C Case, is in the regular course of entertainments for the season, provided by the Association, but the general public are invited to attend tbe admission o them being 50 cents, with 25 cents for gallery seats.

Freleigh, of Cleveland, who comes reputed to be one of the fairest of Ohio's ladies as well as one of her leading singers. NOTES.

Mr. John A. Finch returned home from the East yesterday. He was in Boston, Hartford end New York, and visited in circles that were represented at the late authors' meeting. Mr. Finch says that Mr. James Whitcomb Riley was easily the chief, attraction of tbe company, and that be was asked to repeat bis biography, which be did so often as to almost know it himself. Mr. Riley made a really wonderful bit, much more than the newspapers mention. He very greatly distinguished himself, and won't have to do it again; his triumph will remain. Mr. Finch is of opinion that Indianapolis shonld give Mr. Riley some expression of its appreciation of the honor he has done the State and city.

"New gun, you got, Jones!" "Yes, just bought it for my wife's Christmas present." "For your wife? Oh! I see, a 'duck gun!" "No, that's not it; but I'm tired being presented with lambrequins, portieres, chair-covers, table-covers, and all that kind of fancy work, and so I thought I'd pet even by presenting my wife with something I want" Thi3 is the time of -year when tha women will make presents of those dainty and beautiful objects which ornament tha house.
