Glasscock and Denny were the second and third men to cross the one hundred base-hit line in the League. John Morrill has several pood offers to go into business, both in the West and in Boston. He will not decide for a few weeks, or until his hands get well. Crooks, of the Omahas. and Murphy, of the Hartfords. are tho only players in the country who have made three homo runs iu a single game this season. There never was a season where the attendances in Chicago at tho games have been as low as this neason. On several occasions it lias fallen below l.ouo. The Bostons drew only about 1,200 in one game, something very unusual for that club. Sporting Life: Tho Boston players are by no means pleased with the Boston system of scoring which fathers them with more error than the other League players who play ip cities where the scoring is done according to rule. But even then it is one of the least of tho evils the players gutter from nt the Hub. Win or lose, their treatment at the bauds of the Boston press is unnecessarily harsh and unjust. Calculations aro alreadv beinff made in reference to the coming world's chanipiojbu m series, io be played next October, and it has become quite an important subject for discussion with the clubs which are now conspicuously in the van in the League race as to which of the three leading clubs In tho Association aro likely to be their adjersants if either sh.uild wiu. The Xew Hiork team wanu to o the Brookljaa suc

cessful, as a series of games between theso two teams would be the most profitable of any. It in a remarkable fact that of the host of men Chicago has released in recent years Clarkson, Kelly, Sommers Bettit. Baldwin. Hoover, laly, Krock, Snllivan, Gore all are doing tine work for their present teams, with the exception of Krock and Sommers, who were the last to be dropped. Krock Is yet to be tried with the nome team. As to tho game last Wednesday, in Chicago, the Sporting Life correspondent, in that citv, wrote: ''Neither Chicago nor Indianapolis are just now reaching for the fennant, but when it comes to ball-olaying don't believe New York and Boston can get together and put up any better game."

Johnson, One of Assessor Quiil'g Sureties, Un able to Stand the Taunts of Democrats. Township Assessor Thomas Qnill was again embarrassed yesterday by being compelled to secure new sureties on his bond. When the matter was adjusted tho last time he was secured by James Johnson, Robert Coffman and Maurice Quill, the former being the heaviest bondsman. At the time, it seems, an agreement existed between Quill and Johnson whereby the former's property was to bo transferred to the latter as a means of self-protection. According to Mr. Quill's statement to a reporter yesterday, he met Johnson about three weeks ago and signified his willingness to make out the proper abstract oftitlo if it were insisted upon. Nothing more was said until 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when Mr. Johnnon walked into tho clerk's oftice, and without a word of warning, asked to be released from his share of the bond. This vitiated the entire bond, and Mr. Quill was compelled to Keek new sureties.. There is only one way of looking at this matter," said a citizen in tho court-house yesterday. "James Johnson is a Democrat, and when he went on Quill's bond he knew very well just what he was doing. He is using the abstract-of-title-plea only as a subterfuge, for Quill told him he was willing to make it out. It is siniplv a pure case of Democratic persecution. Mr. Johnson's brother is to be a Democratic candidate for sheriff, and I know it to be a fact that he has been taunted and hounded about his relations with Quill. If he had been refused the abstracts, as he laims, I would not think so queer of hi3 actions, but ho has not." The matter, during the afternoon, was easily adjusted, a new bond being prepared with the same sureties as before, with the exception of Mr. Johnson. CULLING S FROM THE COURTS, Saloon -Keepers Who Apparently Think the Law Not Worth Observing. The police are exercising nnnsual activity in watching saloon-keepers who are in the habit of violating the law.t In the Mayor's , court, yesterday, J. A. Lynch was charged with selling liquor on Sunday, but he took a change of venue to 'Squire Smock's court. Charles Scitz, bartender for August Kalker, for a similar aflense, was fined $20. Last night Joseph Bleccer and Charles F. Scrack were arrested on warrants, and slated at the police station on the same charges, and Lindley Joyce was held on a charge of selling liquor without a license. Took a Policeman's Rerolrer. Last Saturday night patrolman Brady, of the Metropolitan force, was relieved of a revolver while riding in the patrol wagon. Suspicion fastened upon Solomon Day, a colored boy. and he was arrested. It was ascertained that Day had traded the weapon to some of his fellows for 15 cents and a pocket-knife. He waived preliminary examination before Mayor Denny yesterday, and was bound over to the grand jury. - ItecelTers Report Filed. V. T.

RIDENOUR. ; Death Comes to nira Suddenly as He Is Enjoying a Walk Near His Residence. Jonathan M. Ridenour, one of tho oldest and most prominent residents of this city, died suddenly near his residence, No.. &'0 North Pennsylvania street, yesterday afternoon. While out walking ho stopped to talk with Thomas Sharpe, near tho comer of North Pennsylvania and Seventh streets, and on leaving him, walked a few steps and fell to the pavement. Mr. Sharpe went to his assistance, bnt found him dying, Mr. Ridenour living but a moment after his friend reached his side. His death resulted from heart failure, and was apparently a painless one. Ho had been injured by a fall in February last, in which his hip was broken, and although he was apparently recovering from that injury, it is supposed that the hnrt then Teceived was, in part, at least, the result of the heart trouble. He had a similar attack at the New Dcnison last Saturday, but recovered shortly, thereafter from its ettccts, and was feeling better yesterday morning than at any time since his injury. Mr. Ridenour was of Virginia ancestry, but was born in Preble county, Ohio, near the Jndiaua line, Aug. 27. 110. His parents moved over in(o the little town of College Corner, when he was an infant, and ho grew to manhood there, entering business as a country merchant, and accumulating considerable property. He took an active interest in the development of this section, and was the prime mover in the construction of the C, H. &. 1. railroad, now a part of the C. H. & D. system. He was tho first president of the C. 1L & I., and camo to this city thirty-five years ago in its interest. He at once became prominently identified with the interests of this city. He continued his connection with the railroad, serving as its president for twenty years, and was a director of the reorganized company at tho time of his death, being probably the oldest railroad director, in point of continuous service, iu the State. In 1873, with others, he purchased the Indianapolis Journal, and for about two years was its manager. He gave his attention mostly to the business department, bnt now and then wrote articles. Ho was progressive, and added improvements to the plant, tho most noticeable of which was a perfecting f ress. the first ever brought to the city, le also served as president of tho Central Bank, and was once president of the Board of Aldermen and member of the Board of County Commissioners, and supervisor for the national census of 1880. He lost the bulk of his property in the panic of 187J, but still retained his interest" in business matters, although he never recovered from his reverses of the panic year. Mr. Ridenour was the oldest of seven sous, and is the first of the brothers to go. Three sisters have preceded him. His mother, who died five or six years ago, was one of the earliest settlers of Ohio, and at a reunion held at the old home in hor honor near the State line a short time preceding her death several generations wero gathered, and the proceedings were of a most interesting character. He leaves a wife surviving him andthreo children his sou Albert Ridenour, now engaged in business in Kansas City; Miss Emma Ridenour, of the city school board; Mrs. J. 13. Porter, of Oxford, O., and Mrs. John II. Stewart, of this city. Much of Mr. Ridcnour's life was devoted to increasing the happiness and prosperity of others, and his death will bo sincerely mourned by many who havo been helped ty his generous kindness. In the days of his prosperity ho was a liberal giver to every vorthy enterprise, ami the first gifts to A8bnr3', now DePauw, University included $1,000 from his open hand. The funeral, which will be a private one, will be held from tho family residence Friday afternoon. The Cost Will Not Re Inscribed. Every preparation is being made to make the laying of the soldiers' monument corner-stone an event of the widest possible interest. It is given out by a member of the commission that the matter vf the in

scription has been reconsidered, and that, although not yet officially decided, the cost of the monument will not bo included in the wording. This course, it is claimed, is the result, mainly, of the vigorous attacks of the press upon the plan that was originally proposed. Among the organizations that will participate in the exercises will be the Sons of Veterans, of this city, who are drilling for tho event. INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF WOMEN. The Indianapolis Delegate to the Paris Gathering Responds for Her Country-Women. Mrs. May Wright Sewall, of Indianapolis, was a delegate from the woman's national council to the international congress of women, held under the auspices of the French government in Paris, July 12-18. The foreign delegates were decorated with a pansy, whose leaves were red, white, blue andy;oldr Monsieur Jules Simon presided. The name of the United States was called first on the roll at the opening session, and Mrs. Sewall spoke in French, as follows: 'Mr. President, Officers of the Congress, Ladies and Gentlemen I come to you as the representative of many hundreds of thousands of my country-women, who are, federated together in the national council of the United States. I deeply regret that Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Miss Susan B. Anthony, Miss Frances E. Willard, or somo other really great woman, is not here in my place to represent more honorably the progress of the (women of my country. But I bear from them to you most cordial congratulations upon the progress of women ill France, which this congress indicates. "It is, indeed, a great event when an international congretft of women can be convened under the auspices and by the aid of the government of a powerful nation. The women of my country regard this event with surprise and admiration.Without eumitj,they congratulate the progressive women of France upon being the first to obtain such recognition of a national government. This is not the first time that France has taken the initiative in a great movement, and taught the world a lesson. France has often been the first to utter the word. France is justly celebrated for conceiving great, universal ideas; for making grand, philosophical generalizations, for striking the key-note. Franco has done much for the freedom of humanity. She has been the special friend of 'freedom in the United States. Americans never forget that France stood sponsor for their Republic at its birth. In their hearts the name of Lafayette is forever associated with that of Washington. Not only did France aid America at its birth, but when a century had rolled by and our Republic was celebrating its majority, it was France that

; placed at tho eastern gate of our fair land the emblem of lreedum, and put into a woman's hand the tofch which is to enlighten the world. Americans do not wish to lorget.what they owe to France; and the women of America accept with gratitudo this new gift, tho example of a national government becoming the ally of woman's progress. "But this is not the time for me to make an address. A word, and I close my greeting. Behold the subject of that word this flower, which you havo chosen as the decoration for your foreign delegates. This decoration is truly emblematic. The red, white aud blue are the ccdors of France; thev are tho colors of my country, also. "The red It is the blood, which is ono in all the human race; one, because through whatever veins it flows, it has one source, the source of all life, the heart of tho Eternal. The red is your great word, 'equality.' The blue It is the color of tho 6ky, the emblem of the free dome of heaven. It is the translation in color of your word, 'liberty.1 The white It is tho symbol of light, in which all colors blend, in which all distinctions cease. It is your noble, inspiring word, "fraternity." Here also your colors are blended with the gold. It is a compliment to America. The gold is the symbol of the stars upon our flag. Let it be the symbol of the North star, which guided our enslaved race to the land of freedom; of the North star, which guides the mariner across the unlighted sea. Tho North star is in tho material world whut truth is in tho world of thought. "Look! These emblematic colors aro hero blended in an emblematic flower. It is the pansy, which the great Shakspearo saya stauds for thoughts. May thought, may reason rule this congress, may truth bo tho one object of all its deliberations. In truth, all differences will be reconciled, and truo fraternity will be reached." THE MILITIA GO HOME. The Tents of the Legion No Longer on Armstrong's Farm The Encampment a Success. The last companies of the Indiana Legion folded their tents yesterday morning, and although the members did not steal away like the poetical Arab, their departure from Camp Hovcy was accomplished without any difficulty or confusion. Reveille was sounded at 4 a. m., breakfast dispatched about an hour later, and by C a. m. the militiamen were ready to take the train which was sent out to convey them to the Union Station. There was some little hitch in providing baggage cars sufficient for the camp impedimenta, but the defect was finally remedied, and by 8 o'clock tho compauics were on their homeward way, bronzed aud hearty from their active life in camp, and heartily pleased with the result of their experience. There was some little feeling among a few of the militiamen over the rigid discipline enforced in camp, and a dispatch received last evening fiom Fort Wayne states that there is some indiguation expressed there over the verdict of tho court-martial dismissing Sergeant Kerr, of the Fort Wayne Rifles, for deserting his post. There is some talk of disbanding the company in consequence of the alleged severity of the sentence, but the majority of the men in camp appreciated tho fact that the encampment meant business and not a frolic, and that the rigid rules enforced were for the good of the service. General Rncklo Hays he in well satisfied with the result of the week's work. "The only trouble expcrienced,, ho said, "grew out of the fact that previous encampments wero regarded as play-times, rather than schools of instruction, and it was hard to make some of the boys in camp realize that this was a different 6ort of affair. Now that there is a clear understanding as to tho purpose of the Legion encampments, wo are not likelv to have any further tronble. The site proved an w admirable one. and I think both officers and men profited by their experience while there. As to its cost, I think wo shall come within the appropriation allowed us. The rent of the farm for the week was $U00, and there will be sortie additional expenses in replacing things as wo found them, but it was the best site for a camp in this vicinity, as we found by full investigation." There is an error in a Teport of the review given in honor of the Governor, Col. Ewing's regiment being designated as the Third instead of the First, but without exception the men expressed themselves as pleased with the attention shown them by the city press.

The present owners of the Broad Ripple Natural-gas Company are now perfecting their organization, in order to free it of individual obligations. Mr. Boyce, secretary and treasurer, has returned from Pittsburg, and will take charge until affairs are settled. It is understood that negotiations are now going on between this company and the Consumers Trust on one hand and the Indianapolis Natural-gas Company on the other, while Mr. Wescott is considered a third party who may make overtures.

Vernon Letter in St. Louis Republic. This splendid little city claims as one of its citizens the present Governor of Indiana, and his elegant residence here is well worth a description. We 6hall call General Hovey's home;the Governor's Mansion," for Indiana, unlike her sister States, maintains no "executive niansion," and, besides, this home is a mansion, for it is without doubt one of the finest in the land. It is situated northeast of the court-house, on a beautiful grassy plot surrounded by huge forest trees, whose foliage at this season of the year almost hides its immenso proportions from view, and renders a front view impossible. It is a massive building, constructed of stone and brick, two stories high, and while not striking in its exterior architecture, it "shows up" well. A single look at the handsome interior erases all thoughts of the outside. Although having remained unmarried for a number of years, the Governor hr.s still maintained this home, living with his daughter, the vkrife of Maj. G. V. Menzies, an attorney of national repute, who with their family occupy (this house and make life pleasant for the old gentleman. Mrs. Menzies is a charming lady, gracious and easy iu her style and manners, having the advantage of seeing much of the world, she being with her father while minister to Peru in 1865 to 18C9. While there they obtained many handsome presents and curios which are to bo found in almost every room of the mansion. Passing through the large entrance hall the correspondent was admitted, to the right, intothe the reception-room, whero several easy chairs and splendid couches are so arranged as to tempt tho weary. Heavy portieres divide this room from private apartments on tho left. On tho opposite side of tho room is a beautiful mantel with a high shelf surmounted by a largo plateglass mirror encased in an arched orace frame, which reflects in splendor the handsome furnishings of the room. On either side of the mantel are large book-cases filled with neatly-bound volumes of historical and educational works. On tho mantel and tops of book-cases is quite a collection of the curiosities brought from Peru. There are some eight or ten images, made of highly-colored pottery ur something of the kind, which are supposed to be likenesses of the first and last Incas. In fact, they greatly resemble the many Chinese idols socu in this conntry. Near by aro two figures of the Andes llama, about nix inches high, made of solid silver from Peruvian mines. Several Indian wolkers, or water bottles, wero distributed on the tables. Theso are surmounted by ill-shaped animals. They look very much like some of the "moundbuilders'" work. Standing on ono of the cases a huge flamingo looks over the room with an "all-seeing' eye. It would be impossible to describe all in this room. Passing through the hall, in front of the grand stair-case, a massive door opens to view the drawing-room, and the first sight that meets the eyes is the very elegant life-sized oil painting of the Governor, a look at which make one (think he is present in person. To tho left, suspended on the wall, is the General's beautiful sword, which he carried during the late war. Cross this is Major Mcnzie's sword, which he carried whilo lieutenant in the navy. Near by on a table lies a round box of solid silver, which formally held the treaty between tho United States and Peru, and among the books were several pieces of cloth aud other 6iuall articles which were taken from the tombs of the older Incas. Among the draperies of the bay-window 6tands a beautiful mounted crane with his graceful head peering out on the lawn, while high np on the right side of the room is perched an immense bald-eagle, measuring several feet from tip to tip, as if preparing to swoop down on a victim. This noble fellow was captured several winters ago floating down the Ohio frozen into a huge cake of ice. He was brought to shore alive and afterwards killed and sent to tho taxidermist. Underneath this is a large couch, over which are negligently thrown several rare and valuable robes, one of unusual size being made entirely of ostrich feathers. Another is a large jaguar skin, which was obtained in Chili. At tho farther end of the parlor stands 'the grand piano, on top of which were noticea numerous presents re-v cently received by the Governor. Among them was one of tho "centennial plates" which was presented at the New York celebration; also, one of those beautiful satin invitations to attend the opening of the Texas Spring Palace, atDallasanu numerous other invitations and badges. At ono side hangs a large photograph of Mount Vernon's beautiful young ladies who attended tne Governor's inauguration, and wero conceded to be the handsomest party in attendance. The room is furnished iu handsome style, and the carpet is the finest of Moquette. The walls are finished in panels of sky-blue and red, the contrast being shown up by bars of gilding placed between the panels. Around tho room aro hung several very elegant paintings andengravings. In the rear is the dining-room, which is furnished in tine style, aud the sideboard is covered with silver and rare china, and on the walls are hung pictures of one or two of the war ships on wnich Major Menzies "sailed the seas over." On the second floor are the private rooms of the family, all of which are furnished to suit the ideas of a connoisseur. The Governor's private room is fitted up elegantly, and well supplied with books, where he can while away his leisure time. The presence of Mrs. Menzies's childien, two daughters, Misses Mary aud Juliet, two charming little ladies of eighteen and sixteen years of age, respectively, and ton Winston, lend much to grace and enjoyment of the surroundings. Ileueficent Act of the Fire. Kansas City Star. It transpires that a petition to the Washington constitutional convention for universal suffrrge, to which was appended twenty thousand names, was destroyed iu the Seattle lire. It is a pet theory with the optimists that there is no unmixed evil in the world. Signs of Canity. Boston Transcript. The latest news of Miss Mary Anderson is that she has three new frocks a cream brocade tea gown, with a front of silk muslin: a black silk, with a red front, jet embroidered, and a dinner dress, with a deep collar of white embroidery. This teems hopeful.

The Safest AND most powerful alterative is Ayer's Sarsaparllla. Young and old are alike benefited by its use. For tho erupiivo dis eases peculiar to children nothing else i3 so effect ivo as this medicine, while its agreeable flavor makes it easy to administer. "My little boy had large BcrofiJlous ulcers cn his neck and throat from which he suffered terribly. Two phvsieians attended him, but he grew continually worse uudcr their care, and everybody expected he would die. I had heard of the remarkable ures effected by Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and decided to havo my boy try it. Shortly after he began to take this medicine, the ulcers commenced healing, and, after using several bottles, he was entirely cured. He is now as healthy and strong as any boy of his age." Wrilliam F. Dougherty, Hampton, Va. "In May last, my youngest child, fourteen months old, Itegan to have sores gather on its head and body. We applied various simple remedies without avail. The sores increased iu number and discharged copiously. A physician was called, but the sores continued to multiply until in a few month they nearly covered the child's head and body. At last we began tho use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Iu a few days a marked change for the better was manifest. The sores assumed a more healthy condition, the discharges were gradually diminished, and finally ceased altogether. The child is livelier, its skin is fresher, aud its appetite better than we have observed for months." Frank M. Griffin, Long Point, Texas.
