The "ew Snrvojorof Customs Finds Affairs to Have Been Well Conducted by Mr. Kuhn. Philip M.

Kuhn, tho retiring surveyor, will .resume his liiuo and cement business, at No. 13 Virginia avenue, Mr. Hildebrand and Mr. Kuhn, though opposite in politics, are brothers-in-law, and tho feeling between the two is of tho most pleasant character. Mr. Kuhn turned over the records of thepast juui jcuis jisuiuaj, nuicu, mucu 10 HIS credit, show a successful administration on his part. During the lirst year of his oflico tho receipts wore in tho neighborhood of 09,010: in the second they were 103,000; third, $U3,000. and for this year they have been $120,000. This shows an increase in every year, tho $133,000 in the third year having been caused by a $,000 consignment of 5.000 tons of steel through a Terre Haute nrra. Regarded locally, this should bo dednetod. Mr. Kuhn also reports the receipts of the otlice on the increase at the present time. 'I find evervthini; satisfactory in the otlice." said Mr. llildebraud to a reporter, "and I feel convinced that if I do as well as my predecessor I shall bo content. Of course, it will take a few days for me to get accustomed to my duties, but I think a little time Trill set all things right." "Have you installed any of yourdeputics yet?" "No, I have not. I have? my appointments about all made, but none of their commissions have arrived yet. Until they do I don't believe it wonld be well to publish their names.

REGIMENTS AT CAMP IIOYEY

MilitaryScrviceastheYouDgMilitiamen of the Indiana Legion Ferform It. Every Man Required to Keep in Line of DisciplineMusicians in the Guard-House and a Sergeant's Graye Offense. Camp Hovey was as soldierlike in appearance yesterday as any reasonable military critic would demand for tho second day of a six-days' service. , It is, indeed, so military some of the men declare that it is not playing soldier at all, but tho actual thing, all but tho fighting. Military etiquette is everywhere: even the boot-blacks "who straggle about the camp give tho required salute, usually adding a picturesque flourish not stipulated in tho regulations. The morning report at brigado headquarters, yesterday, showed the following men in camp: First Infantry, S3 commissioned oflicers, 896 men; Second Infantry, 39 commissioned officers, 290 men; Third Infantry, 47 commissioned officers, 890 men; First Artillery, 13 commissioned officers, 143 men; total, 143 commissioned officers, 1,461 men. This does not include the field and staff at headquarters, nor cooks and servants. Tho men who drew brooms, rakes and shovels' in their quartermaster's supplies discovered yesterday, before the sun was many hours high, that they were very necessary articles, and tho camp was mado to look as neat as a brand-new pin. The little itrenchcs around the tents served to carry off the water, and tho quarters were kept comfortably dry, in spite of the drizzling rain. Ihe three brass bands took a turn about furnishing mnsic, and the enlivening strains lightened the labors of the guards and workers, and cheered those who were off duty. There was a great amount of visiting among the men of the different regiments, who are now beginning to get acquainted with each other. The younger men are getting frisky, and practical jokes are more numerousthan delicate, though everybody is in a high state of good humor, and would feel slighted if anything were going round in which he fails to have some share, either as perpetrator or, victim. A number of brief but spirited pugilistic displays have taken place, giving great satisfaction to all concerned. The most noteworthy encounter was a six-round set-to between two members of Company M, Second Kegiment, Captain Rhodes' s colored company, which gos by the name of the Second Nubians. The event of the day was a military court-martial, held in the afternoon, the culprit being a sergeant of Company 15, Second Kegiment. The offense for which he was tried was a violation of the fiftieth article of war, the sergeant having deserted his post while on duty at brigade headquarters by turning over the command of the guard to- a corporal, and then retiring to his straw bed to slumber until morning. The court-martial consisted of Captain Kercheval. of Company A: Capt. Lessel Long, of Company (i, and Captain Robbing, of Bunker Hill Company. Tho finding of tho court-martial is secret, and will not be disclosed until Col. Wr. J. McKeo will have it read on dress parade this t.f temoon or to-morrow. The guard-houso had two occupants whose forlorn appearance moved even tho hearts of the stem sentries who stood guard over them. They wero musicians, and their offense was insulting a sentinel while on duty. They had guyed him while he was pacing his beat, and when ho remonstrated they had laughed at him. These music-makers wero not aware of the fact hat a sentinel, in the discharge of his duty, is sacred, and the articles of war allow no ono, not even tho commander-in-chief, to do him dishonor or interfere with his duties. The two musicians were given several hours in tho guardhouse, the time, doubtless, being prolitably employed in thinking over the exceeding gravity of their oll'ense. There were really three offenders, but the ttiird one escaped, and, having put himself in the hands ot the camp barber, was soon so changed as to hair and whiskers that the sentinel could not positively identify hiin. The attendance of visitors from the city at tho dress parade in the afternoon was not large, but many more are expected todav. Tho artillerists went through foot moSrementa only, but will probably indulge In firing to-day or to-morrow. The three infant regiments made a handsome appearance on the closely-cut clover-field, their movements being sufficiently original at times to eseape the criticism of being machine-like. The men are quick and willing, however, and in a day or two tho instruction they receive will begin to tell. There are squad, company and battalion drills, as well as regimental drills, and each tlay the officers are themselves given instruction in various complicated movements. Daring drill yesterday afternoon the Third Kegiment stirred up a hornet's nest in the clover, and tho infuriated insects attacked the militia with a suddenness and intrepidity that bid fair to rout a company or two of the boys in blue. The Third had hardly got out of danger when the Second Kegiment stirred up the same nest of hornets. About twenty men were stung, the casualties being, for the most rart, confined to the men, though Major Ilarry Smith was also numbered with the wounded. There will be a brigado drill to-morrow morning to prepare for the review by tho Governor on Friday. The Kockvillo Light Artillery. The Kockvillo Light Artillery was first organized in 18S3, and designated as Battery F, of tho Indiana Legion, Second Regiment. Some thirty ambitious young men of the town named were mustered in by Adjutant-general Carnahan. The first commissioned officers of the battery wero Frank E. Stevenson, first lieutenant, and Ed Lambert, second lieutenant, with Will A. Mason as first sergeant. In June, 181, the battery was disbanded, and in 1SSG reorganized as Battery . D, First Regiment, and has been a progressive organization ever since, having made a good reputation. Lieut. Frank E. Stevenson was promoted to the captaincy, Will A. Masou became first lieutenant, and Ed Lambert second lieutenant. Daring the early part of lSi7 the first lieutenant resigned, and the second was promoted to fill the vacancy. Brooks T. Hadley being elected second lieutenant The first venture of the battery at Indianapolis, in 1S&J, was a failure and it returned homo with a black ribbon. In this contest wero the Louisville and Indianapolis batteries, the former getting first place and tho latter second. At Lafayette, inlSSG, tho Kockvillo Artillerists got second place, their average being over 4.40 of u possible one hundred, while that of Indianapolis was 97.01. Bat the Kockvillo battery made a score of 97 and a fraction at Evansvilloin 1SS7, contesting against the noted Burns artillery of Nashville, Tenn. In the same city in 1S6S a record of 93 and a fraction was attained. In May. 1SS8, at the great mterstatedrill at Nashville, the battery met tho best artillery sections in the country. In -that content were the famous Louisiana field artillery, Louisville, Indianapolis and Atlanta batteries and the Dallas Kiilcs. The Kockvillo artillerists drilled after a heavy rain and on muddy grouud, and got third, place. This contest was pronounced by ihreo United States army officers, they being the judges, the finest artillery work ever done in this country. The battery has, in addition, been in three competitive drills in Illinois, making altogether, from the time of its organization, a fine showing. Tho results of some of its contest were as follows: Black ribbon, Indianapolis, 1W3; third prize. Jacksonville, 111.. 1885; second prize, Lafayette. Jnly. 180; first prize, Tuscola, 111.. July. ls-ST; first prize, Kvansvillo, September. 1SS7; third prize, Nashville. Tenn., May. 1S88; first prize, Evansville, September, 18SS. Tho Rockville Artillery went into tho present camp with thirty-threo men. including its well-known band. Tho uniform is tho State regulation, but when in competitive drills the men are uniformed with United States fatigue suits dark-blue sack coats, light-blue pants, and use caps. - t National Council Should Select. Department Commander Travis is in receipt of a largo number of resolutions from various G. A. K. posts throughout the State, indorsing circular No. 3, advising all except delegates to refrain from attending tho National Encampment. The action

of that character by Sol Meredith Post, No. 55, of Richmond, is expressed in the belief that "the interest of the order would bo best subserved in the future if tho place of holding the National Encampment were left to selection by the natioual council of administration." The post requests its delegates to so vote in the coming National Encampment Note from the Camp. The Artillery Regiment reports nearly 200 men. The Indianapolis battery has the best located quarters in the artillery department. Major Lapp and Assistant Surgeon Capt. Thompson have had several sick calls and do good work. Lieutenant-colonel Powell, of Lebanon, Third Regiment, was brigade officer of the day yesterday. The largest regimental band in camp is from Fort Wayne, Prof. Harry Achenbach, leader, eighteen pieces. Charles Bracken and Charles Smith, of the Rockvilles. have been sick and under the surgeon's treatment. Governor Hovey and Private Secretary Roberts took supper with the Governors Guards, Captain larlton, yesterday. Battery C has a platoon drill this morning at 9 o'clock, while Battery D; will go through the sanio movements this afternoon. One of the most useful men about camp is brigade bugler Louis Pfaffiin. The dinner and supper calls are received with most favor. Among the best infantry companies in camp are those of Captains Gunder, of Marion; Spaulding, of Peru, and Gore, of Elkhart. The Rockville Light Artillery Band is one of the best in camp. It is under the leadership of Prof. Orran Farrar, of the Warren, O., Musical Institute. Lieut. Ed Lambert, of the Rockville Light Artillery, is acting adjutant of his regiment, and Captain Willard, of the Ft. Wayne Artillery, is acting quartermaster. Lloyd Hopkins, editor of the North Manchester Journal, is a quartermaster-sergeant in the Second Regiment. He puts no faith in the maxim that the pen is mightier than the sword. Maj. Charles H. McCarer, First Regiment, formerly of this city, now of Evansville, had numerous callers yesterday, many of them from Company A, Second Regiment, his old company. The resignation of Col. C. G. Conn, of the artillery regiment, is a deep regret to his young soldier friends. He was a good officer and had the interest of his branch of the service at heart. The Spartan-like simplicity that characterized the meals on Monday has disappeared. On many of the tables yesterday wero milk, butter and eggs. Hard tack was eschewed because difficult to chew, and soft bread substituted for the old reliable army cracker. The officer of the day of the Second Regiment yesterday was Capt. James Rhoades, of Company M. The captain and his command are colored, but he stands among the best as a faithful and competent officer. The captain was for ten years in the Tenth United States Cavalry. Among the visitors yesterday were Maj. J. R. Ross, Col. Charles Zollinger and ex-Adjutant-general Geo. W. Koontz. Judge Martindale came out in the afternoon, and it is understood made an offer to General Ruckle to add to the regular army ration on quart daily, per man, of his blue-lick wafer. The matter has been referred to Surgeon-general Jessup. Col. K. W. McBride. of the Third Regiment, himself a thorough tactician, has able coadjutors in his officers, several of whom have seen service. Among these are Captain Davis, who organized the Hagar Veterans, out of which has grown his present company; Captains Gore and Gunder,' and Captain Siever, of the Lebanon Kitlea. E. G. Melendy, commissary sergeant, was adjutant of the One-hundred-and-twenty ninth Indiana. Officers Stout and Mcfford. of the Metropolitan police, disguised themselves, yesterday afternoon, and sauntered over to the canal as two innocent infantrymen, to catch some fellows who were working the

shell racket. The operators of this thimblerig game Knew mem as soon as xney clapped eyes on them, in spite of their disguise, and throwing tho pasteboard upou which ihey had been playing into the canal, they made their escape. General Kuckle notes that tho military feelincin Indiana is plainly on the increase, and with a larger appropriation this State would have a militia creditable as to numbers and efficiency. With the curreut of enthusiasm ho thinks there would bono difficulty in raisintr a dozen recriments. bnti the limit has been reached, so far as thealready furnished an iufantry company,; lias sixty signers for an artillery company. The Meetings at Acton. To-morrow the Acton camp-meeting is to begin, and continue until Aug. 15. To-day tho cottagers will bo busy in arrangiug.affairs for their stay during that term. Tho present outlook for a full attendance is very flattering, better, in fact, than ever before. All tho cottages will be filled, something that has never before happened in tho history of tho camp, somo having as mauy as two families in them; besides this, a lanre number of tents will bo in use. Tho Big Four railroad, running past the ground, as well as all of its connecting branches, has granted special excursion rates, so that ample facilities of transportation to and from the grounds will be provided. Tomorrow, at 2:30 P. M., tho opening sermon will bo delivered. Those having in charge the arrangements for the meeting are endeavoring to make the Sunday-school day, next Saturday, an especially interesting feature of the whole series. A largo number of schools, as well as prominent Sunday-school workers, have signified their intention to be present at that time and take part in tho exercises. The closing day, Aug. 15, will bo devoted to Y. M. C. A. and W. C. T. U. work. After tho regular camp has closed there will be a ten days' series of temperance meetings hold under the leadership of Francis Jdurphy: Temperance leagues from abroad are making active preparations to be in attendauce, aud a very successful meeting is expected, A Deputy Clerk' Mistake. An amusing incident, ns well as an embarrassing quo to the parties concerned, occurred in tho county clerk's offico yesterday afternoon. About 3 o'clock a young lady, probably twenty-one years of age, walked up to the marriage license desk, accompanied by an elderly lady, presumably her mother. 'I want a license," sho said to Deputy Daniels. "This is the place, is it!" "Yes," replied tho deputy; "tho name, please." The young lady gave her name, and then the clerk asked: "Do j-ou reside in this countyf" "Yes, I livo here." And after a few moro such interrogatories, Daniels was in the act of laying down his pen when tho lady ventured tho question, "Do I have to put tho license on the dog's collar?" It did not take long for Daniels to see the mistake that had been made, and with as much presence of mind and grace as he could summon, informed his fair applicant that dog licenses were issued at tho city clerk's office, on the lloor below. "1 usually feel like breaking the second commandment." said Daniels after the two ladies had left the office, "when people como in hero and ask for dog licenses, but a round like that isn't so bad. A little more, and I would have issued a marriage license in my own name for her." To i:iect m Central Committeeman. Chairman Michcner, of the Republican State central committee, is already paying attention to the needs of the party organization. As an essential to that end he desires to have no vacancies in tho committee longer than is absolutely necessary to find good men and earnest workers to fill them.

IT SAVES A GREAT DEAL OF INTEREST, 'Refunding of the School Fund Does Not Impose Additional Burdeas on Tax-Payers. A chance suggestion, a week or two ago, at the State-house, during a conversation Relative to tho act of the last Legislature providing for the issuance of $3,905,000 in bonds to refund the school-fund loan, gave currency to the idea that the State would lose money by the transaction. It was assumed that while the State had reduced its interest from 6 to 3 per cent, on the loan, the counties must pay 6, thus putting a burden of 9 per cent, altogether on the taxpayer. Special telegrams based upon this assumption went abroad stating that the State, in its refunding operations in this instauce, wonld loso $117,000 annually, instead of gaining that much. "Such a view of the matter," said Treasurer of State Lemcke yesterday, "is preposterous. Tho school fund is separate from all other financial transactions of the State. The fund is the accumulation of proceeds from the sales of amis and other sources. On accouut of the low taxation for State purposes in order to meet demands upon it, the treasury has been, from time to time, compelled to borrow from the fund. In a word, tho school money was used, th State becoming debtor therefor, and paying 6 per cent, annual interest, tho payments being mado semiannually." "This interest has always been regularly paid, has it notf ' asked tne reporter. "Certainly. But the idea was suggested that there could be a largo saving in interest if the money was borrowed elsewhere, and repaid to the school fund. Upon this the law was passed and wo went into tho New York market and got the 3,905,000 at 3 per cent." "Tho money thus obtained was then placed in the school fund, the State carrying its debt at 3 instead of 6 per cent. Is that it?" "Yes; and nearly all the money has been distributed to the counties on a basis of voting population. Thus, tho counties separately, instead of collectively, as tho State, become debtors to the fund. But. while they are debtors, they really bear tho relation of custodians of the fund in lending it to the people individually. Such loans are taken by the people at 6 per cent., they giving therefor mortgage security. If all the money is not loaned by a county then, and not until then, are its tax-payers bnrdened with paying interest on tho school money which theircounty may have idle. But there will be no trouble about getting all this money in the hands of the people at 6 per cent, in fact, many of the counties have already loaned every cent of the money they received in the distribution of the proceeds of the recent sale of bonds. It is quite an inducement for farmers and others who have been borrowing from capitalists and agents at 8 per cent, on short time to get accommodation from their counties at 6 per cent, for an indefinite term. Every dollar of this school money will soon be held by borrowers. Instead of increasing the interest, as some persons have stated, the Legislature has accomplished two objects. One is relief to the State in reducing the interest it paid from C to 3 per cent., which will amount to a saving annually of $117,000, and the other is allowing borrowers to get from their county officials nconey at 6 percent, instead of forcing them to obtain loans from individual at 8 per cent." A Very Large Court Business. Some days ago the United States district attorney received a letter from Attorneygeueral Miller asking for a statement as to the amount of court business done in tho Indiana district during the past year. Tho latter stated that the information should relate only to such cases as the government had no interest in or was not a party to in any sense. District Attorney Chambers took up the civil docket, andraade a report to the department, showing that judgments to the amount of $24,000,000 had been entered within the twelve months preceding tho da to

of the departmen t letter. A reply was received at once, quoting the figures submitted, by the. district attorney and asking if they were correct A reply followed assuring the department that the figure had been taken from the judgment docket of the court, and that they were just as they appeared there. This amount of judgments eyidentl.v surprised the officials at Washington, and it was certainly higher than usual. Tho Wabash and Chicago & Atlantic cases were among thoso disposed of within tho time, and these alone amounted to several million dollars.

Struck by a Locomotive. On Monday evening, shortly after 8 o'clock, M. A. Gregg, contractor, and a Mr. McCoy, in a buggy, on their way to Woodruff had a narrow escape from death at the Market-street railroad crossing. Tho buggy was struck by the tender of a C. H. & I. engine, which was running rapidly, and the occupants were thrown with great violence a considerable distance, the buggy being wrecked and Mr. McCoy badly bruised. Mr. Gregg's injuries are more serious. He is bruised from his head to his heels, and internal injuries are feared. The horse was also somewhat hurt. Mr. Gregg says the safety gates were open and no lights of any kind displayed. Buildlng Permits. Building permits were procured yesterday by Nettie Cox, addition, Willow street, 200; J. C.
