United States Senator Iilair,of NewIIampfchire, was at the New Denison yesterday and In the evening called upon General Harrison. In conversation with a Journal reporter ho stated that the object of his visit to this section was to deliver lectures on educational topics in several towns of tho State,' Wabash and Richmond among others, lie said one purpose of his visit to General Harrison was to urge upon his attention the propriety f calling an extra session of ConTe8, which he thought should be convened for several reasons. One of these reasons was th:t the question of the rontrol of the House, now threatened by tho action of the governors of several Southern States, should be promptly and definitely settled. Another was that the Senate taritF bill should be perfected and passed, and a third was that the Senator's rducational bill, w liich lie regards as essential to the continued well being of the Kcptiblic, should be acted upon at once. Senator Blair will make this city his headQuarters during his lecturing tour, and will be here for several davs to come. Death of Samuel W. Watson. After several weeks of intense suffering, and as many more of confinement to his room, Samuel W. Watson, formerly of this city, but within the past year and a half a resident of Kokomo, died in that place yesterday. Jlr. Watson was born in Vincennes in 1833, and on reaching manhood came to this city, when, beginning his bnsiness career in Harrison's bar.k, ho soon showed an aptitude that brought him rapid promotion and confidence in his ability and judgment as a banker. lie always held tho esteem of business men and the 6tanch friendship of those who were won by his kindly nature. At one time he was manager of the New Denison, a position he resigned to take charge of a hotel at Kokomo, w here much of his old time success attended him. More than two months ago rheumatism affected him, and through its severity he was soon compelled to forego all business cares. Then came a complication of diseases, and during tho last fewweekshisdeath wasonly amatterof davs. His remains will be brought to Crown Hill, where at 10:30 o'clock this morninsr, they will be interred by the side of those of his wife and children. A son survives him. Bridges Keleased onrul. John Bridges, who was indicted by the last grand jury on a charge of attempting to kill a farme r west of the city by striking him over the head with a club, surrendered himself to the hheriiT yesterday. He was Tektased on a bond of 1,000. I rank Tomlimon, a brother of l'erry Tomlinson, against whom Bridges recently got a judgment for S'JOO for damages, became tho fcurety.

Cliccriness of Greetings Increased by Sunshine and Invitingness of the Day. . The Custom of Calling Generally Observed An Informal Reception ly Fresi dent-Elect and 3Irs. HarrisonOther Features. New YearV observances in tho city began early yesterday and lasted late. The day was ushered in as the clocks tolled out the departure of 1S88 with the ringing of bells and blowing of whistles, supplemented by tho tooting of a good many tin horns left over from the fall campaign, and the yelps of sundry belated citizens who literally wound up tho old year by reeling it home. Others ushered it in more soberly. There were many watch-niectings held throughout the city, and tho rrayers grew more fervent as tho lino was crossed that closed one annual volume of successes and failures, and opened up another with ample room for chronicles of reform and improvement. Tho daylight when it came was brilliant enough to furnish any reasonable encouragement to people who take stock in natural signs as omens of their own material or moral progres. Napoleon, on the morning of a later battle referred to the sunrise and exclaimed: "This is the sun of Austerlitz," and. tho young man who got up yesterday with tirm resolutions of moral and physical betterment might m have remarked appropriately, this is tho sun of retrenchment ajad reform, if he had not remembered that, according to the almanac, the luminary vvas to be eclipsed before the day ended. Nevertheless, there were multitudes who took advantage of the date to swear off from vices which seem larger in retrospection than commission. Drinkers whoso faces spoke eloquently of the midnight ovster and the morning cocktail looked in the glass and mentally concluded to abandon the means of weakness and debility; dudes who had contracted and disseminated malaria from cigarettes decided to shorten up the nicotino allowance and gossips who had set whole neighborhoods by the ears through their distortions of tho facts in the case, resolved to retire from the held and give tho newspapers a chance. . The good old custom of making and receiving New Year's calls seemed to have enjoyed a revival, and at many homes a generous hospitality was dispensed. There was little business done in the city during the dajr, peoplo who were not calling or receiving taking advantage of the sunlight ami bracing atmosphere to spend most of tho morning and afternoon in tho open air. All the public buildings were closed with tho exception of the benevolent institutions of the city, and many people took advantage of the jdeasant weather to make excursions to neighboring towns. All the places of amusement were well attended, and altogether the day is likely to be remembered as one of the most attractive holidays in the history of tho city. The Day as Observed by Callers. There never was a more beautiful New Year's day for calling, and the old custom was very generally observed. There seemed to be very little talk about receiving until within the past few days, and persons generally thought there would bo very few to do so, but the list published contained tho names of about 500, not including tho several clnbs that were open for tho reception of callers. There were fewer places at which to call, the ladies congregating more than usually. About 2 o'clock carriages began to make their appearance, and until after dark there was a constant stream of callers. Among tho noticablo receptions was that of the "Pino Luke party," who keep together year after year, holding reunions several times in the interval between their summer excursions. The members received with Mrs. Frank MeCrea, on Broadway. Their guests received flags of different nations as souvenirs. Another large party of ladies received at Mrs. E. C. Sewall's, on Park avenue, from 2 till C, nnd for the evening invited guests returned for a progressive-euchre party. Mr. and Mrs. John C. New had one of the largest parties, where the ladies extended graceful hospitalities. An innovation was the assistance of a number of young gentlemen tho ladies had in receiving. There were more places with about ten ladies in the party than there were with larger numbers. A few announced that they would receive informally, and in hundreds of homes ladies were rea'ty to see their friends. Some very handsome decorations made tho parlors more inviting, a profusion of llowers and plants, or Hags, and in some places both were used. There were fewer favors than havo been noticed since the rage for favors began. A few had them, but as a rule, the callers did not present the appearance of a walking advertisement that they have in years gone by. Among thechnrch, associationand society receptions were those at the Lincoln Union and the Scottish Rite rooms, where the members called and extended the greetings to their fellows for a happy New ear. The day ended socially with many parties for dancing, cards, games or conversation, the most brilliant being held at the New Denison. The teu ladies resident this winter each invited friends to receive thero from S:S0 to 11. Tho parlor, which -was so handsomely decorated for the assemblygiven the previous evening, was useti ior mo reception, i ue iauies urur.gui, many of their ocautiful drsperies and lamps and placed them tastefully on mantels and tables. The halls were canvassed and Hart's orchestra, stationed at the north end, rendered its usual delightful music for tho promenade and dancing. Refreshments were served in the ordinary, which had been ornamented with llowers, and the tablo was lighted with colored candles and fairy lamps. Here the ladies took turns in serving cotlee, as in their own homes. The party included ins ny well-known and popular ladies, aud their costuming was particularly rich and elegant, Mrs. MeKee, the only laity of the President-elect's family present, wearing an exquisite costume of old nink faille, over a petticoat of piiiK and silver brocade. The latter was vandyked and the spaces showed liounces of tino lace. A great many gentlemen called. Among them Rev. M. L. Haines, Bev. Jam5S McLeod, Bev. H. A. Cleveland, Rev. I). R. Lucas and Rev. J. S. Jeuckes, and with tho close of tho first day of the new year ended one of tho most generally observed and most brilliant reception days known f or years. At the Y. M. C. A. The reception at the Y. SI. C. A., yesterday, was the largest and most brilliant affair of tho kind ever given under tho auspices of that organization in this city. The parlors and committee-rooms were all magnificently decorated, thero heing, beside an elaborate lloral display, bric-a-brac, art panels and curtains, and oil paintings covering tho walls; festoons of hollv and evergreens hung between the chandaliers of the incandescent lights. Most of the ladies appeared in full dress, many elegant costumes being. worn. At the heailof thestairway stood the young men's reception committee, who numbered even or eight, and were very active in welcoming all strangers and acquaintances, particularly the former, to the nospitalities of tho day. It was a great day for those who have been uplifted by the power of the Murphy meetings, and are struggling hard to conquer trftir old appetites and abandon their old haunts of vice. They were everywhere taken warmly by the hand, and kind words spoken to them by their well-wishers, among whom were many of the best known citizens. It is rare that such men lind themselves the lions of a social occasion, and they deeply appreciated these attentions. One man a stranger when a gentleman of the reception committee took his hand to bid him welcome, commenced to weep, saying it was the tirst time a kind greeting had been jriven him by any one for months. He was a fine looking man. of intelligent address, who had evidently experienced .better times in the past, but the misfortune of a strong appetite had brought him to his . friendless condition. Between 500 and C00 of these men visited the rooms before 6 p. m. They were served with refreshments by tho ladies, and manifested a keen

appreciation of this acceptable phase of the entertainment. It was the first experience of the kind many of themhadhad for years, and the first tfiat ever had. Cuke seemed to be their especial penchant, while the ice cream was by no means neglected, and it furnished a whole entertainment in itself to see these men enjoving all the delicacies of that extensive collation. After 0 p. M. the streain of blue-ribbon bearers began to cease, and the numerous friends of the association took their places in the reception, a number of gentlemen appearing in full dress. Over M0 more arrived during this part of the reception, xuakiug the total number of visitors about 1JOO. Tho parlors were crowded during the evening, and many went into the auditorium. The collation was spread in the principal committee-room, which was very handsomely decorated with llowers and plants. On tho smaller side tables were devices in evergreens, etc., while the center piece of the largo table consisted of a triple-parted pyramid of llowers, evergreens, holly and fruits, standing on glass supports, about three feet high. Music was iurnished during the evening by a full orchestra, ana many numbers on the piano were rendered by the ladies, together with several solos; At 8&0 r. m. tho guests were all invited to assemble in tho auditorium, where a number of visitors had already arrived to witness the annual athletic performances by members of the association gymnasium. A programme of two hours duration entertained the eight hundredspectators in featsof strength and dexterity to the very hist. The exercises began with tho performance of about thirty boys between the ages of nine and fourteen, in calisthenics. These consisted of complicated ami movempnts, which they mado with almost the unity of a singlo pupil, and dumb-bell exercises. After this came Indian-club exercise, tumbling and feats of strength, kicking and jumping. In kicking A. W. Buschman brbko the association record of eight feet two inches made last year by his brother, by a clear advance of three inches. Tho record now stands eight feet five inches. Side jumping from a standstill was tho concluding feature of tho evening, and ended in a tie, the.Buschraan brothers each jumping fortysix inches. Keception at General Ilarrbon'a. From 2 until 8 o'clock General and Mrs. Harrison received their friends. The handsome parlors were decorated with flowers aud plants, but not to any elaborate degree. Sirs. Harrison was assisted by her daughter Sirs. J. R. SicKee, Sirs. W. H. H. Sliller, Sirs. James Bradshaw, Sirs. Edward SicKee, Miss Lina SicKee, Sliss Newcomer and Sliss Riley, of Harrisbuig. Pa. General Harrison received with the ladies, and Bussell B. Harrison participated for a time in tho reception. Both the General and his son wore Prince Alberts. The reception throughout was entirely informal, and promptly at 2 o'clock the callers began to arrive in large numbers. General and Sirs. Harrison stood in the front parlor and greeted their friends immediately they had entered tho house; Thero were no introductions, and the guests dispersed throughout tho house, and many lingered for an hour or so. By 3 o'clock tho scene in front of tho residence was an animated one, rows of carriages blocked the streets, and hundreds of callers came on foot. It was noticablo that a goodly porportion of tho callers were working men, accompanied, iu most instances, by their wives and Slaughters. Fashionable society came also, and all degrees of social life could bo found within these hospitable doors at all times during the afternoon. The guests were invited to partake of a little lunch, Sirs. SicKee presided at tho table, spread in tho dining-room, and, assisted by her cousin, Sliss Newcomer, sho refreshed the guests with tiny cups of coffee, tea and chocolate. Gen. Lew Wallace, ex-Gov. A. G. Porter, ex-Senator SIcDonald and about all tho other resident people of distinction were among the callers; also, a largo number of clergymen of all denominations. During the six hours the stream of callers was a constant one, and a moderate estimate places the number at near two thousand. Entertaining Signers of the Fledge.

The Central W. C. X. U. yesterday after noon gave a reception and dinner to tho men who signed the pledge during the Slurphy meetings and to the members of tho SI. G. T. U., at their lunch-rooms, on North Pennsylvania street, from 2 until 5 o'clock. The rooms were so artistically ornamented with evergreens and growing plants that they resembled largo parlors rather than business quarters. The pictures of Francis Slurphy and Frances E. Willard hung side by side on the walls. About 100 of the ren i 11, 1 11 l lornicu men caueu anu were maue neanuy welcome. Every one was served with a dinner. A musical programme, composed of a raried selection ot vocal and instrumental Jieces, in which some dozen or more perrTrioT"a nrtlr nort iria tti i rTrnl Afrr llllUIVl'l IUUD, I'll. I, "UO 1V1IU.4LH 1 Alt It J times during the afternoon the callers were seen to ascend the steps in front of the luncn-roora a nine way, looKing m wisuiu1 i a 1 1 1 a ly on tho bright scene before them, but hes itating to enter. As quick as such men were observed the ladies' reception com mittee went out and brought them in. de spite their timidity in coming, and onco inside ther thoroughly enioved themselves and departed only after prolonging their calls, in -man3' cases, lor over an hour and meeting a number of prominent busiucss men, who gave tho men every encourage ment lor their new life. The Order of the Elks. Tho Elks kept open house .yesterday aft ernoon and evening, at their handsome club-rooms, on Illinois street, and received their friends hospitably. Tho Indianapolis lodge of tho order is now in good shape to make things pleasant for visiting mem bers and their friends from abroad, and tho city is a good deal more attractive to a large class of visitors than it was beiore No. 13 was instituted. The Institution for the Blind. Superintendent Jacobs, of the Institution for the Blind, wants its management taken out of the hands of tho trustees of the benevolent institutions. Ho thinks its present site ought to bo retained, and that it ought to bo considered as part of tho educational system of tho Commonwealth. His annual report, in wliich he presents these views, further states that the annual appropriation of 27,000 is sufficient, but he thinks more room and improved facilities are needed. The inmates have enjoyed good health. During tho year" past 128 were admitted, one died, and six were dismissed. i Demands of the Very Foor. The annual report of Township Trustee Slany shows that, during the past year, $9,10I.ft", against 8,895.55 for the preceding year, was expended in aiding tho poor. The increase of 00.20 is attributed to the in crease in population. The open winter, the trustee says, is not considered a blessing, so far as his btlice is concerned. Tho men who work on tho streets through tho summer usually live through the winter by cutting . . , i i ii. r ice. as mere uas ueeu none mis season this class of laborers have been out of em ployment since work on tho streets closed. Arrested on Ills Return to the City. Six mouths ago John Akers, Al Slichael and John Hyland were jointly charged and thereupon indicted for feloniously assault ing a half-witted girl living in the eastern part of the city. Akers and Slichael were arrested, and each sentenced to the penitentiary for sixteen years. Hyland left the city and went to Kansas, wnere he .remained until last week. Ho was arrested vesterday on a grand jury warrant by patrolman Slanning and turned over to the sheriff. - A Tenement-House Destroyed. A frame tenement-house, west of tho I., B. & W. tracks across the river, was destroyed by fire yesterday morning. The house was owned l3" Charles E. Collin and occupied by the families of Charles fctarr, Sirs. Gregorv and Thomas Lowe. The loss is estimated at 1,000, that on the building being covered by insurance.. First Itegiment of Guards. A meeting of the First Regiment, Harrison and Hovey guards, has been called to meet this evening to consider the matter of their proposed visit to W ashington to attend the coming inauguration.
