Of the scarlatina returns, five were zaade during the past reek, and this malady

alone seems to- be on the increase. Since last Monday thirty-three births and forty-four deaths have occurred, it being a fact worth mentioning that only four times within the last fifteen weeks have the number of deaths exceeded that of births. Much ot the health of the city is due to the efforts of the sanitary force on the city board of health to k?cp the city clean.

In the city clerk's oflice, yesterday afternoon, was quite a crowd of men of various political beliefs, and their conversation gradually drifted from base-ball to the coming prize-tight, and from it to reminiscences of personal escapes from daugcr. 'I must tell one on myself," said Harry Craft, "that may sound a littlo.shaky, but I will awearevery word of it is true. About a.week ago I went home one eveniug, and utarted out into tho back yard. As I opened the kitchen door a large rat ran in before I con Id see what it was up to. I knew that with the door shut it couldn't escape, and so I began to make preparations to kill it. I got an old cane and poked around under the side-board where it bad gone, but I couldn't stir it. Finally it did come out. and made for the pantry door which wan open. After it I went, and in a few minutes I had it bak into the kitchen again. This tim it ran nuder the range, and I brought my cane into play. Well, gentlemen. 1 fought that rat there for live minutes full, and in the meantime I broke the stick all to pieces. At last, just as 1 was wondering what to do, the rat turned on me. and came on a beelino for my feet. Its hair was all bristling, its tail straight in the air, and its mouth opou. It was fully a foot long, aud presented such a sight as I never had before or

since have seen in a rat'n countenance. What did I do! Why. it didn't take me n second to decide. I dodged its iirst leap, and in auother instant I was' npou tho range. The rat ran around me and would try to jump up on the hearth. 1 never saw any animal of its kind :vct so ferociouslj-. From my fort iiied position I threw stove-lids and everything I could get my hands on, but all in vain. Then I began to pray for some wnseen hand to open the door and let the poor thing out. I knew it Vas tired, and so was I. but no hand appeared. At last, though, I watched for my opportunity, and in two jumps I landed by the door, which I opened about as quickly as I could. The rat cot away, and I was saved, but I never want that experience repeated." A SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL. Mrs. Anna Mills's Work Among Children of the foor in Teaching Them Industrious Habits. Recently the pupils of Mrs. Anna Mills's Industrial School held their third annual picnic at the Exposition grounds. Eighty children, many of whom were attended by their mothers, from the neighborhood of Kingan's packing-house, between- Washington street, the railroad, and as far south as Kentucky aveune, were transported to the grounds, free, by the street-car company. A substantial dinner of cold boiled ham and beef, rolls, cheese, pickles and lemonade was served at noon.. The games of children were then enjoyed until the middle of the afternoon, when the little ones were called together in one of the buildings, and recitations, songs aud other exercises were given by them. Before leaving in the evening they were made still happier by the liberal dispensing of icecream and cake. The former was furnished chieuy by Kregelo, Furnas and Ballard. Cakes were furnished 1)3 ladies interested in the school, and the meat was given by Kingau, while Bryce and Taggart snpplie'd the rolls. To all these parties who so liberally contributed to this worthy cause the ladies desire to return their thanks. Three years ago this industrial school was organized, with an enrollment of thirteen, which has now reached two hundred. Its purpose is to teach useful household arts, aud especially to instil in the young moral and religious instruction. Any Saturday afternoon the school can bo seen in full operation, m the restaurant building of Kingan's packing-honse. Old clothing is here made over, and new made ui, and distributed among the needy ones. Three rag carpets aud seven quilts have been part of the products of this school,-which have been sold, and the proceeds applied to the work. The Friends' Church sustains Mrs. Mills in her work. Roberts Park M. E. and Second Presbyterian churches also contribute to the school's usefulness. A Parade or the Militia.

A movement, however, has begun (and the Adjutant-general has consented) to bring the four regiments and the butteries into the city for a few hours on some day that will hereafter be designated, and have a grand rarade on the Washington-street asphaltum. cuuh a military show would be something new to the youth ot this city, aud might not be without use as an object lesson.

He is accused of lobbing a wunrfu North Indianapolis of a number ot valuable pigeons.

During the past week sixty-nine conveyances of city property were made, amounting to $89,C85.75, of which $15,705 changed hands yesterday. Real estate in general Is not being disposed of at a very lively rate, although the weekly transfers show an increase over a corresponding time last year.

There are groups of fruit-stealing boys roaming over the nqrth part of this city committing depredations that would laDd men guilty of them in the penitentiary, but which these young vandals do with impunity. During the early cherry season just closed these boys have entered yards in broad daylight, climbed the trees and robbed them, the women of tho house being utterly helpless to prevent them. In several places where the houses were unoccupied, or the families absent, they have broken oil' great limbs, aud almost ruined tho trees. They aro now at work upon tho peaches. Peaches are not ripe, and will not be for some weeks, but the boys aro ripo for the peaches. It is not so much the fruit the rascals take as tho way in which they take it, breaking the commandments and also breaking oil' branches and injuring the trees. An elderly resident of the Second warl bad his fence nicely trimmed with barbed wire, and supposed 3iis green peach o- on Id be allowed to ripen in security. But barbed wire, he found, incited the tS2YC4 to fresh endeavors, and the last est&tw f his peach crop was worse than the tirst. But the elderly "itizen is an observing person, and as nit'ved that most of the thieves, black, while andyeyow boys, wore their feet very decollete. This inspired him with an idea. He trimmed his raberry bushes and got a plentiful yiold .l thorny shoots. These he strewed r,pon the ground in the alley where the de-rtdati;rs climbed the fence to f et at the fruit, aiid awaited developments. e had not to wait.
