Governor Gray claims that ho should be allowed to select tho Democratic member of tho police board, and expressed some missriviugs on his own f art as to the quality of Mr. Henderson's )emoeracyt but tho other State officers thought it posMblo tho Governors iudgservices in the board.

The Promising Eeginniiig of a Work That Will DouMlcss Become National. The Normal class of the Indianapolis Sunday-school Association will hold its first session in the lecturo-room of tho Second Presbyterian Church to-morrow evening, beginning at 8:10 o'clock. Tho lesson will be, "The Names and Structure of tho Bible." Dr. AIcLeod had set apart the sanio evening for services preparatory to the sscranient of tho Lord's supper, but has consented to shorten his address and somewhat vary tho exercises. In return for this courtes3T, Dr. Gilbert, tho leader of the class, has accepted an invitation to bo present, with his normal students, at 7:30 o'clock, believing that tho occasion will be highly appropriate and spiritually prolitahlo as a beginning to the normal work to follow. The class will have continuous weekly sessions for sixteen weeks, closing in Alay, and covering the topics already announced, if possible, accomplishing all that would havo been dono had tho beginning been made last September, as was at lirst announced. Throughout an effort will bo made to apply tho best educational methods in preparing persons for the Sundaytchool teacher's office, the sixteen weeks work to be followed by thirty-two weeks, commencing in Se.'iiber 'Pith graduation at the end. The text of tlio rirst series of lessons may be found in Dr. Gilbert's "Normal Lesson Guide." The second series is now in course of preparation and will bo reody when wanted. This normal work is to be carried into other cities. Iudeed.it has been already introduced in several towns in this State, and under the auspices of the American Sunday-school Institute, will be taken to other State. The perfection of the plan contemplates the employment of normal instructors in tho various cities on salary, as soon as they can be trained. The class hero is designed, therefore, as a model and center of the entire movement. Those who pass through its course will .bo eligible to a pest-graduato course in a "training class," passing which an instructor's certificate will bo issued, with grade according to proliciency. Two persons have already entered with this ultimate end in view. Judging from letters received, Dr. Gilbert believes persons can be so employed as soon as they are prepared. An unauthorized statement that none under

twenty-six years of age would bo received has prevented some, especially ladies, from uniting with tho class. No such limit has been fixed. It is believed by the committeo that a person ought to bo at least fifteen to master the lessons, but all who come will be received. Young people, anxious to get ready for Christian usefulness in after years, thoso now engaged in teaching, superintendents and pastors, and all Christians in fact, aro invited. And all who desiro to become members of the first class are urged to bo present at the opening to-morrow evening. THE ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT. It Is About Ready for Use, and will Be in Operation Before Alany Days Go By, Tho Brush company expects to havo one hundred electric lights burning over as many street corners within two weeks. The agreement it mado with tho city engineer stated that tho lights should bo burning by Jan. 1, but there havo been some unavoidable delays in putting up the plant. Tho work is, however, partially completed now, and, soon as all tho arms aro set at the street corners and the burners placed in position, tho electricity can bo turned on. Tho company, so tho representatives say, havo taken much pains in constructing tho plant, and it proposes to light tho territory named in tho contract as well as it can bo done. City Engineer Shearer, who has superintended the work, thinks tho light will prove to be excellent. At each of the one-hundred street crossings an "arm" twenty-six feet in length is attached to the pole, and will extend out almost to tho middle of the street. On the end of this arm the light is suspended, thirty feet above the street. By means of ropes tho anus are swung around to the edge of tho street, and raised and lowered with ease. With this arrangement the lights can bo cleaned from tho ground, and they can be raised or lowered without any interference with vehicles or pedestrians. The city engineer says that as far as ho kno ars, the same sort of a plant is not in existence in any other city. The "arm" used is of recent invention, and is be!:eved to be the best made. The company is arranging for a little demonstration on the evening of the lighting up. Prominent citizens, with members of tho Conncil and Board of Aldermen and others of the city government, will be invited to view the lights after the electricity has been turned on. A New Mechanical Appliance. Representatives from nearly all the manufacturers of tho city met at the Bates House last evening to hear Edward Spear, of Cincinnati, explain the workings of a complex steam appliance he has invented. It has just been perfected, and many manufacturers and skilled machinists believe it will revolutionize tho application of steam. By Air. Spear's invention there is such a great utiUzation of power that, it is estimated, there can be a saving of 75 per cent, on fuel. In fact, ho proposes to guarantee as much to manufacturers who will adopt tho appliance. At the conclusion of his explanation and an examination of charts and drawings on exhibit, all present said the invention was a remarkable one. Somo of tho manufacturers have already contracted to havo it applied to their factories. Mr. Spear is building in New York the engine with which the machinery in tho coming Paris exposition is to be run. Indianapolis Rolling-Mill Company. The annual meeting of tho Indianapolis Rolling-mill Company occurred yesterday. It was merely a formal affair, so far as the result can bo obtained. William Alansur having disposed of his interest in the company necessitated the election of some one in his place in tho directory. Tho board chose Air. Alorgan. The officers remain the same as last year. They are: Aquilla Jones, president; John Thomas, secretary; Stephen W. Alorgan, secretary and superintendent. Nothing was done of a definite nature concerning the future use of the mill, but it is believed by somo that the property will be turned to profitable account beforo many months. - . - m The Columbia Club's New Venture. At a meeting of the Columbia Club, last evening, it was concluded to give up the project of taking the members of the organ ization to Washington as a separate body on the occasion of tho inauguration, and thoso members who attend will go with other associations or on their own account. Tho matter of a permanent organization and club-house was taken up with much interest, and it was determined to devoto the whole energy of tho association to Fnshing that project through to a successul conclusion. Upwards of $23,000 have already been pledged for the purpose, and there is a good deal more in sight. A Boy Accidentia Shot. Young Ross, about sixteen years old, was accidently shot by a friend, on the corner of Illinois and New York streets, last night. The accident occurred by Ross's friend pulling a revolver out of his pocket, at the time making the remark that it was for the purpose or protecting the girl who was with him. As he showed the revolver to Ross, it was discharged, the ball entering just above Ross's right eye. The lad was talcen to Dr. Carney's office, where his wound was dressed. Tho wounu was not serious, as far as Mas ascertained on examination last night.

PHASES OF LITIGATION.

A Complainant Who Thinks the Tosltion of Yertland la Danjrerou. James I. Rooker is practically the owner of the little town of Vertland, in tho northern part of the county. There is but one principal street in tho village, and along it runs tho Lake Erie & Western railroad. The pipe lino of tho Indianapolis Natural Gas Company from tho Noblesvillo districts follows the lino of the railroad, and comes through tho village under tho street, alongside tho railroad. Recently quite a number of explosions havo occurred in the town, and Air. Rooker has come to the conclusion that tho passage of heavy trains over the streets causes a concussion which injures tho gas-pipe aud causes the accidents of which ho complains. In a suit brought yesterday against the railroad company ho expresses the fear that the entire village may somo day bo blown up unless the pipe line is removed from alongside the railroad tracks. He therefore asks the court to permanently enjoin tho gas company from maintaining a pipe lino along the street in question, and also demands s"5,000 damages from tho two companies for damage which he alleges his property has already sustained. The case will come up in the Superior Court to-day on the application for a temporary restraining order. An Abuse of the Court Alleged. The litigation involving the title to Bruce Place addition to the city has taken on a new phase. Augustus B. Y'oung yesterday filed in Judge Walker's court an atiidavit praying for a permanent injunction against the prosecution of the suit brought in tho Circuit Court by James A. and John W. Bruce, in which ownership, by virtue of descent, is claimed of all tho lots in the addition. The affidavitrecites that in 1873 an action of the earao character was begnu. The court appointed a commission to quiet tho title to tho lands, and that commission gavo tho Bruces certain lots to which they laid claim. Tho decision, the affidavit says, was affirmed by the general term of the Superior Court and later by the Supremo Court. The present action, it is alleged, is brought in a covetous spirit, with the hope of inducing tho defendants to pay a sum of money for a release from the suit. The proceedings, it is charged, are a wrongful abuse of the process of the court, and should not be permitted to proceed. Judge Walker will pass upon the affidavit to-daj'. Xo Right to Make His Own Law. Judge Irvin has found John Fitzjerald guilty of attempting to kill Leon Reed six months ago. A motion for a new trial was made and tho Judgo withheld sentence until it had been argued. Fitzjerald does not deny the shooting, but claims that he was justified in what he did. A short time before tho trouble occurred Fitzjerald and his wife had separated, and the hu3band claimed that Reed had broken up his home. The Judge, in finding tho accused guilty, said he had no doubt the shooting was dono nnder aggravating circumstances, but still Fitzjerald did not havo the right to take the law in his own hands. Notes from the Dockets. Emmctt Oliver was held to the grand jury yesterday for robbing Airs. Johnson's millinery store, at No. 42 South Illinois 6treet, Tuesday night. Oliver and tho goods were found by Sergeant Quigley within an hour after the robbery occurred. Fred Lincolnhauer was fined $25 by the Alayor yesterday for selling intoxicants on Sunday. Charlton Bull, of Greentown, Howard county, was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court yesterday. "So longer Mrs. Tubbs. Alinnio Tubbs has been granted a divorce from Wallaco Tubbs by Judge Taylor. Six months ago Tubbs, convicted of feloniously assaulting a young girl, was sentenced to the penitentiary for seven years. Tho plaintiff's maiden name, Alinnie Cole, was restored to, her. ; y 1 A Trustee Confirmed. Judge Taylor yesterday confirmed the appointment of R. B. F. Peirco as one of thp trustees, under tho mortgage, of the I., V. & S. Railroad Company. Air. Peirce was elected to the position at the annual meeting of the board of directors, on Nov. 1. He succeeds John J. Crane, deceased. The Court Record. StTEKIOIt COURT. Room 1 Hon. X. B. Taylor, Judge. Charles T. Bryan vs. Charles T. Simmons; damages, etc. Finding for plaintiff for $116.00.

Governor Gray yesterday appointed Joseph W. Adair, of Whitley county, as judge of the Thirty-third district, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the election of Judge Walter Olds to the Supreme Bench of the State, and Robert D. Richardson, of Evansville, to fill the vacancy in the Third district, occasioned the election of Judge Wm. F. Parrott to Congress. Democratic observers see in these appointments a disposition of the Governor to strengthen himself as against tho Voorhees wing of the Democracy. It is alleged that in the Thirty-third district appointment, Adair, who was backed by Postmaster Brown, an original Gray man, "won with both hands down," while Thomas R. Alarshall, of Whitley, who was entered by his partner, AIcNagncy, a Vooihees advocate, and Andrew Elwood, of Kosciusko, who had the indorsement of the entire bar of that county got scant consideration. The situation in the First district is said to be practically the same, and it is understood that the Governor is not furnishing any chicken-pic to the opposition at this juncture. The New Supreme Court Judges. Judges Olds, Berkshire and Coffey, wuo were chosen at tho last election as members of the Supreme Court, took the oath of office this week before Clerk W. T. Noble, of that court, and will enter upon the discharge of their duties on Alonday next. Commissions were prepared for them, beginning with Jan. 1, but Governor Gray directed the issue of new ones, beginning with ' the first Alonday in January after their election," the date mentioned in the statute. As tho retiring judges were commissioned on tho 1st of January, which was also the first of the month, this gives them seven days longer than the terra of six years provided in the State Constitution.
