ABREAST TVITH TIIE TIMES

Old Men AYho Arc Still Vigorous and Continue Active in Business Affairs. One Has in His Ion? Service Made More than Haifa Thousand Manuscripts Without an Error Fifty Tears a Merchant. This city has qnite a number of men who at three score years and ten or more are active in business, and with their linger on the pulse of the living present keep step to its Tigorous throb. One of these is James Greene, who, next December, will tally the eightieth year of bis pilgriinago upon earth. Mr. Greene, from 1S53 and for several years following, was in the railroad business, but during the war he had military employment. Since 1S03 he has been in the insurance business. Previous tolS53he taught school for ten years, in Madison, this State, and has on numerous occasions beaten the dnst out of the trousers of Adjutant-genera.! Ruckle, Kichard J. Bright, Victor Hendricks, Thaddeus Heed, John W. Brough and others when they wore "little breeches." This waa before the discipline advocated by Solomon had fallen into desuetude. Another well-preserved old gentleman of four 6cour is Willoughby II. Keed, who has been in the laundry business in this city for the past twenty years. Mr. Reed has all his faculties; a firm step, a good eye, and a memory that rarely trips. lie is smoothly shaved, with the exception of a short white moustache, and looks more like a man of sixty than an octogenarian. He came to this city from Philadelphia, where for many years ho had the largest clothing house in that city and controlled the trade. "Joseph F. Brown," remarked County Clerk Wilson to the reporter, "makes the best and most complete record for the Snpreme Clerk of any deputy clerk in Indiana." Air. Brown's business is the making of records of appeal, and since his employment in ,the county clerk's otlice, a pencil of nearly fit tcirt years, he has made more than 000 transcripts and not one has ever been returned for correction. The .reporter informed Mr. Brown that he was wanted for the gallery of ancients. "But I am notyet seventy," lie replied, "and will not be for more than a year." He was told that, an every-day worker like himself could come in, as prisoners came out, on "good time." Mr. Brown was born in Clermont county, Ohio, within two miles of the birthplace of General Grant, and came to Indiana when eleven months old. "Judge Napolean B. Taylor," said Mr. Brown, "is two months older than 1 am, and you will have less trouble to get him into your seventy list. Ho and 1 played together in this town as boys over hfty years aco. I went away from Indiana to Washington city in 183. My brother William, father of Austin II. Brown, bad been elected to Congress. His campaign was a memorable one. The district, which then had twelve counties in it and went nearly up to the Michigan line, Vas Whig by a majority of 3,000. but lie beat Governor Wallace father of Gen. Lew and Postmaster Wallace by 900 majority on account of the vote that the Governor had given for Morse's eiectro-magnetic telegraph. I had begun at that time the practice of law in Lafayette with two men who afterward became eminent, John Pettit and Godlove S. Orth. In the Legislature of 1841-42 1 was Clerk of the House. I had barely reached my majority, and now, of all the officers and members of both branches of that General Assembly 1 am the only one alive. They are all dead and I feel Ijke one who treada alone Some banquet hall deserted. I went to Washington intending to stay but one winter to look after my brother William, who was in feeble health. Alas, 1 stayed nearly thirty-three years, I was assistant clerk of the House of Representatives for six years, chief clerk in the Adjutant-general s otlice eight rears, and for over titteen years manager of tho Washington Gas-light Company, which was organized in im by William H. English. Its capital was then 50,000; it is now $2,000,000." Dr. Ryland T. Brown, who will be eightytwo years old on the 5th day of .next October, is a brother of Joseph F. Brown. The Doctor is an associate editor of the Indiana Farmer, and the best-known Prohibitionist in Indiana. He belonged to the first temperance society organized this side the Allegheny mountains at Rush vi lie, in 1S and has been a Prohibitionist ever since. He is a great walker, and. as an ob servant man, always sees things whene'er he takes his walks abroad. wnene-er ne uura ins waiKS ai He is a physician, geologist and pre as . well as editor. For fiftyyears, begin uing in 1832, ho has pre; preacher. '-seven preached consecutively, without a failure, a sermon each recurring Easter which, probably.no other man on earth can say. As a walker. Captain Oglesby, who is nearly eighty, will not take second placo with aD3 man in this county of anything near his age. The Captain is not in active business, but as a raconteur of interesting incidents of a busy life he has no superior. The Indianapolis bar has two men in practice who have passed their seventieth milestone ou life's journey. One of these is Jndge Jacob B. Julian, who is seventy-four years old, and the other is Judge Fabian M. Finch. who is seventy-nine years old. Simon Vandes, who is a lawyer by; profession, recently retired lrom active business. He is somewhat older than Judge Julian. Itev. Henry Da j- and Win. S. Hubbard are yet on the active list, as is David Hazzardwho. notwithstanding his proprietorship of the Indianapolis coffin-works, is as bright and sunshiny an old gentleman as any one need tare to meet. David Macy, who practiced law in the Whitewater valley over half a century ago, and who, for many years, was president of the Pern railroad, does not consider himself in active business. Thonch nearly eighty years old he manages his own affairs, which, as he in a man of wealth, gives him quite enough to do. Physicians aro proverbially long-lived and seldom retire from practice. Two bright and activo men, not old men by any means, for they still have a young spirit within them, are Dr. P. H. Jameson and Dr. W. H. Wishard. Dr. A. R. Benton, of Butler University, is an illustrious example of a young-old man. Gen. Thos. A. Morris, lonr past seventy, is an activo man, with a good grip on current affairs. Tho General has a fondness for out-door sports, and is still an expert fisherman and a good shot William Henderson will be seventy years old on his next birthday. That Mr. Henderson yet has a clear insight of political atlairs. and is abundantly able to take care of himself against the rag-tag-and-bobtail of his party every one in this count is now ready to admit. Mr. Henderson has a continental outline of countenance, a quiet dignity of manner and an old-fashioned courtesy. Theoldestmanon South Meridian street is George C. Webster, sr., of the firm of Daggett &. Co. Mr. Webster passed his three score and ten five or six years ago, but continues to be an cvery-day business man. He is as genial as a May morning, and it is only withm the past two or three years that be has retired from the Society of Practical Jokers, on Meridian street, of which he and Edward Branham were the founders. The oldest established business of which the founder still continues as the active directing head is that of Charles Mayer &. Co. In the fall of IKK) Charles Maver will hold his golden, business jubilee. It was in the fall of lt40 that, on the sam site now occupied by the largest establishment of tho kind in the world, Mr. Mayer began, in a very modest way. "I understand." said the reporter, "that your first business house was a one-story ironic " "Nothing of the kind." said Mr. Mayer; "it was a shanty." "I suppose you have not wasted much time in the past fifty years!" "No; I have been here most of tho time." Mr. Mayer will be seventy years old in May, having begun his fortuue before his twentieth year. The American Fin Arts Society. . A movement of great interest and importance has Jut been made Jn New York. Five societies, the Art FtudentV League, the Society of American Artiat. the Architectural League and the New York Art Oulld, hv united In Incorporating the American Fine Arts Society. The object Is the erection and maintenance of a tine arts building, having claf&-roons and galleries for exhibiting the paintings of the three hundred ciUfita enrolled, It Is proposed to buy a lot

A Day That Every Liberty-Loving Frenchman Eesards with Patriotic remembrance. The French residents of this city will celebrate the centennial of the fall of the Bastille on next Sunday, at Riverside Park. Addresses' will be made by Superintendent of Public Instruction LaFollette and others. "I have been asked why we celebrate on Sunday," remarked a Frenchman to the reporter, "It is for tho very good reason that the 14th of July happens to come on a Sunday this year, and the 14th of July is the day on which to celebrate. It is strange to me that there is so little known in this country, about the Bastille, what it represented, what its destruction signified and all that. The Americans of 17S9 knew tho French better than do the Americana of to-day. That was, perhaps, because the obligations owed by the Americans were then recent. We had just helped them through with the revolutionary war. But the trench sent the key 8 of tne Bastille to George Washington, and they are now in this country. The Bastille was a state prison, built in 1283, so when it was destroyed it was over 400 years old. It stood in the street of St. Autoine, and In all those 400 years it is said but two prisoners ever managed to escape from it. This was in February, 1756. One unhappy Prisoner was confined in those dreary walls for fifty-four years. "It was on Sunday, July 12, 17S9. that the revolution began; it was the people against the King and tho favored classes. Koyal troops wore moving, and the people were warned to keep indoors. It was Camille Desmoulins, poet, editor, orator, who, mounting a table in a garden, cried out The hour is come; its now either death or deliverance forever. To arms! And a thousand voices echoed the cry. The blood of the city rose to boiling heat that evening. The 'shops of gunsmiths were broken open and their contents taken. On Monday there was no work done in Paris except by blacksmiths making pikes and women making red. white and blue cockades. Americans and Frenchmen should' be all the closer together on that account with us, as with you, the red, white and blue is the emblem of liberty. There were 23,000 muskets in tho cellar of the Hotel des Invalides, and the people, attacking the hotel, broke in and got them. Then, having got ' so many anus, the cry was raised: To tho Bastille!' At 1 o'clock in the afternoon the attack began, and at 5 o'clock tho great fortress was surrendered. Along the streets in triumph were carried the seven prisoners found in the Bastille; also seven heads on pikes, also the keys of tho captured fortress. One of the released men had been a prisoner thirty years, and four of tho seven were foreigners. Through the whole of the night of July 14 the stone of the prison wall and the walls were nine feet thick came down with a sound of thnnder, and in tho morning thero was only a heap of ruins to mark tho spot where this monument of roval cruelty had stood." HOW THEY SPEND VACATION. . The Supreme Court Judges Do Not Get Away Altogether from Knotty Law Problems. The Supreme Court vacation will last until the middle of September. Tho five judges do not give all these weeks to play, though no one would blame them much if they did. In fact, they take considerable work with them when they leave their rooms in the State-house and go to their homes. Not only do they take work with them, but Clerk Noble sends it to them. "I have sent a large box to each of them,,, he remarked to a Journal reporter, yesterday, "and there is many a knotty question in those stacks of manuscript. Some of the boxes contained as much as eight or ten reams of closely written paper. I think during vacation each judge will look over ten or fifteen cases, study them, and bo ready, afterconsultatiou with Disassociates on the bench, to write out their opinions." Most of the judges of the Supreme Court have a fondness for hunting and fishing, and will not allow devotion to duty to deprive them of all that is good and glorious in the summer season. Judge Elliott always does some fishing during vacation and, of course, will not break the rulo this summer. He intends to go to Martinsville for a few days, and afterwards to tho north, probably Michigan or Wisconsin. The other day Judges Coney and Olds were discovered in one of tho upper corridors of the Capitol. Judge Cotley, with great dexterity, was engaged in showing Judge Olds, by means of some tine tackle which the latter had just purchased, how to lay out a lly. If Judge Cotley could do as well at the an nualtounuroients of tho Indianapolis Flvfishermen's Club there would be no doubt as to who would take the first prize. It is understood that Judges Berkshire and Coffey will soon go to Petoskey, Mich., and a little later Judge Mitchell will be found At Mackinaw. It is said that the latter does very little Wishing, but during his vacation puts in a great deal of time catching in current literature. Tho jadce reads all the new 1)0pular novels and comes back to tho ench fresh as a daisy. From the preparations made by Judge Olds it is believed that he will come back in September with a larger assortment of lish stories nil fortified by citations from the statutes, than any of his illustrious colleagues. . A Pageant for Fair Week Suggested. Several business men two or three weeks ago were considering that during the State fair week would be a good time to give an exhibition, spectacular performance, parade or pageant that would afford variety to tho entertainment Incident to that week, and attract to the city many people who would not otherwise bo likely to come here. Albert Gall was of the opinion that arrangements should be made to give at the same time each year, but to bo enlarged and varied from year to year, a epectacular parade of some character that would not only be beautiful to tho eye but instructive. Tho Veiled Prophets of 8t. Louis and the Mardigras nunneries of New Orleans were mentioned, but the suggestion to imitate them met with little favor. The deflre to do something is strong, but no move will bo made until tho rtijht thiug to do is fully determined upon. Among the numerous suggestions fs one to get up a grand pafreant to represent the history of Indiana, which s full of romance and would admit a great variety of beautiful scenery and quaint and picturesque costumes. The early French settlement of Vlncenucs, George Jtogers Clarke's expedition, Tecumseh. Ited Jacket and the Battle of Tippecanoe. Francis Vljfo, the HpanUh Merchant, the dally life of the pioneer, and msny other things would make capital subjects for illustration. Resolution of Condolence. The trustees of the Indiana Eclectic Medical College, of which Dr. Lawrcnco Abbett was dean, met yestemay afternoon and took action relative to his death. Pre. rickcrell, Long and Smith were appointed a committee to draft resolutions thereon. Tho committee reported a series of resolutions in which the character of Dr. Ablet a a man, Christian and nuyMclan was eitolicu. lie was prompt and untiring in all his duties and obligations as dean, and unremitting In his efforts in the Interests of the college, the commit! eo paid. It was ordered that a inemoriai be prepared and spread on tl e records of the college. The trustees nlo extended their sympathy to the bereaved family. The funeral of Dr. Abbett will take place at 1totert 1'ark Church tomorrow afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock. The Criminal Itccord. In tho Criminal Court, yesterday, tho following lerwus were arraigned and entered pleas of not guilty: J&uies Ilanaban, Mick Cain, Joseph Anderson and Wlllliuai Harmon, petit larceny; Kichard Barry and Calvin Weaver, rrand larceny; Charles f'tnith, uutanlt and battery. Harry Coatello and William Lewis pleaded guilty to charges of petit larceny. New eideboards at Win. L. Elder's.

THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN.

ilayor Denny Says It Ought to Be Short, with a Distinctive and Imphilie Platform. For the past two weeks theio has been some comment in political circles upon the probability of Mayor Denny expecting a third re-election, but that gentleman spoke very decidedly upon the question yesterday to a Journal reporter. "I want tlhs public to understand," ho said, "that I am not a Candidate. I wonld not want the office again even I knew positively that it were in my power to hare it for the asking. As matters now stand there are many annoyances connected with it, aud very few opportunities to satisfy or please tho public. About all the Mayor can do now, is to hold the police court and help the Council make both ends meet, by ' denying the people many needed improvements. Indianapolis has less than than one-sixth the income of St. Paul, and yet some people grumble bocause the city does not 'boom.' Tbe people will have to make up their minds to pay more taxes on their property; or else elect a Legislature that will give us more revenue from miscellaneous sources. I know wo have heard a great deal about the last Legislature, but all of its infamous proceedings are not known yet. There were several bills prepared in ttio interest of the city and presented that were never brought np in the lower House. There was a bill providing for a police judge and one regulating vehicle taxes, bnt both were suppressed before they were even considered by a committee. I think if peoplo are alive to these facts it will materially aflect the local campaiflm." "When, in your opinion, should the campaign open." "well. 1 hardly know. I suppose the city committees will begin to organize bv the latter part of this month. I don't think, however, that either party wants to make a long campaign. If I am not laboring under a wrong impression, I believe that the first week in September is early enough to hold the conventions, and I hopo the Republican committee will decide on a short but active campaign." "What do you regard as the strongest issue before the party V "I cannot 6 peak for the party, but if I had my way there would be at least one plank in the platform that could not be read between the lines. I would declare in favor of holding the saloon tax at $250 until a bigger one can bo imposed, and of compelling those engaged in tho traffio to obey the law. It is very apparent already that the Democratic party is in favor of reducing the tax, for every Democratic member of tho Council, voted against increasing it; and I am sorry to say that the members of that party who usually elect the delegations and nominate the candidates, are not in favor of enforcing the siloon laws. I see so much misery caused by these violations of the law by saloon-keepers that I regard it as the most important question now confronting ns in our local affairs. No candidates ought to be selected by the Kepub-" lican party who cannot stand on a platform iu favor of a high saloon tax and a strict enforcement of the laws. 1 do not suppose any other kind will present themselves. If so, they should be defeated at the primaries and in the conventions. I want to seo representative men go to the primaries. There is always too much talk about packing tho primaries and foisting bad candidates on the party after it is too late. There is an abundance of good material in every ward for the Council. It will be the people's fault if they don't get good representatives.'' "How do you consider the prospects of tho Republican party!" "I am no prophet, and I shall not give you a chance to call me a false one. The result will depend almost exclusively on tho character of tho men nominated and the issues presented. There has been much willful misrepresentation of the present Republican majority in the Council and Board of Aldermen, and a strong effort will be made to defeat the party in the coming campaign by persons who would have the community believe they are Republicans, but who are always stabbing the party in the back. I believe tho peoplo aro too intelligent to be deceived by wholesale misrepresentation, however, and that the party will only be held responsible for tho mistakes that have actually been made. If the Republicans have mado mistakes, how many more would tho Democrats have made, if they had been in tho majority? That is the question, and it will be easily answered by an examination of the Council proceedings. Where individual members have mado mis- , takes too grave to bo overlooked, let them be set aside, and new men put up in their places. If tho Republican party will pre-' sent good men and put tnem on a good platform, they will win; if not, I have no guess to make." AN OPPOSITION LAKE. Councilman Darnell Has, He Thinks, a Better Site Than That Cho3en by Alderman Wright. . Councilman Darnell has tho grouud plan for a lake that has received the indorsement of all who have seen it. Yesterday afternoon ho took a Journal reporter in his buggy, and, driving to the Tennesseestreet bridge over Fall creek, pointed to the west. "There it is," said he, laconically. What!'' inquired tho reporter. ' "1'he place of all others for a lake." The ground is west of Tennessee- street, north of the creek, stretching away to tho Michigan road on the west,, and to a grove on high ground on tho north. This basin, half encircled by rising grounds, little hills lookiug rather like un artificial embankment than nature's work, contaius about 12. acres, and engineers who have looked over the ground say it can be easily Hooded to a depth of six or eight feet. Immediately west of the" bridge the creek could bo diverted, it is claimed, to ilood the ground, and a little south of where it enters a dike could be built running in a westerly direction toward the anueduct. At the Michigan road a dam could bo built, and here the superliuous water would run out of tho lake. Fall creek which, would make tho lake, and be constantly running through it. would keen the water always fresh. This, Mr. Darnell says, would cut off the long and tortuous windings of tho crock west of the Tennessee-street bridge and reclaim a large amount of land, for with the broad dike, ho thinks the dike should be sixty feet wide, and aa there would be no overflow, as now, houses could safely be built quite up to it on the south side. There are a few houses built upon this basin, which is almost treeless. On the high ground on the north is a grovo containing twenty-ono acres, tilled with original forest trees. This, he says; would supply the necessary park additiou to tho lake and make it moro attractive as a pleasure resort. An ordinance has already been passed to make a dike from Central avenue to Tennessee street, to be twenty-fivefeet wide at the top. This dike, Mr. Darnell says, could be. a continuation of that on the south side of the proposed lake nnd continued to tho Michigan road, would make a fine drive. The lake boundaries may be described about as follows: Uegining immediately west and south of the bridge and running almost due west toward the aqueduct, then north along the Michigan road, thence to the hill at Moesch's grove, thence following the rising grouud skirting the basin east almost to Tennessee street, and thence south to the placo of beginning. This lake, if it ever becomes one, which is on the edge of tho city and yet not only does not endanger the city from overiiow, but will Rave it from Hood, it is claimed can bo reached without crossing railroad track. The Crown Hill line of street cars runs alongside of it. i Local fiews Notes. Meat Inspector Fob! yesterday killed two cancer-jawed bteers at the Stockyard.
