TIIE COUNTY'S FIBST COUBTS

Inconveniences Caused by Few and AYidcly Scattered Justices of the Teace. 8omeiimc3 the Counsel in & Case Were Called Upon to Aid the Squires in Making Decisions Incidents of Early Trials. From tbo first settlement of the "New Purchase," in the early spring of 1S20, till the spring of 1S22, what is now Marion county was an indclinito tract, forming part of Delaware county, and that, covering a largo portion of the northern and central part of the State, was attached, for judicial purposes, to Wayne and Fayette counties. The inconvenience of such an arrangement, compelling the resident of White river valley to go sixty miles for a marriage license, or administrator's papers, or ene for a dollar balance of account, or to answer a charge of assault and battery, or unlicensed sale of liquor, was tho subject of a good deal of savage comment. Luckily the population of 1S20 was not litigious or numerous and not much positive, harm was suffered, and early in 1S21, Jan. 0, the Legislature adopted a scheme of partial relief by authorizing tho appointment of two justices of tho peace for the aggregate settlements, with an appeal to the Bartholomew county court, twenty miles nearer the new capital site than the Whitewater valley. One of these Quires" was assigned to this placw. and Governor JenningsTin April, 1S21, appointed John MaxwelL lie served but a few months, and resigned. James Mcllvain was informally elected by the people to succeed him, and was commissioned by the Governor in October, '21, but doubts of the validity of tho election were common and strong. His oQico was in his residence, opposite the site of the High-school building, northwest corner of Pennsylvania and Michigan streets. He administered pioneer justice with his pipe in his mouth, from tho door of his cabin, the jury seated on a loz in front, and Corbally, the constable, by the 'Squire's appointment, vigilantly guarding the otiender to prevent his escape into tho woods and underbrush that grew thick all about this unpretending temple of justice. He knew nothing of law, and the questions he couldn't settle by his sense of justico were settled for him by , the professional skill and attainments of the late Calvin Fletcher, the only lawyer in all the region round about. It happened occasionally that Mr. Fletcher, while acting as counsel for one party in a case, was called on by the 'Squire to decide some point that might make against his client. But it is averred that he gave tho 'Squire a conscientions opinion, let the effect bo what it might on Lis own case. It was rather a ticklish" position, though, for a young lawyer to be placed in, particularly when nobody among the pioneers knew enough to question his decision. About the time that 'SqniroMcIlvainebegan his judicial career, James M. Kay came to the new settlement, and ho told the writer that the first thing he saw here was .James Blake carrying one end of a log, while three other men carried tho other end, to a cabin which the neighbors were then engaged in 'raising," as it was called, for a new settler. The man's size and strength impressed him so that he never forgot that scene. During tho winter following Air. Blake had a moro heroic occasion for the exhibition of his physical prowess than cany in g three men's load of logs. Oa Christmas day, 1821, four Kentucky boatmen of the "halfhorse, half-alligator breed." came up Wrhite river from the Ohio to tho Bluffs, with a keel-boat cargo of whisky, tobacco and. groceries. There being but a small settlement at tho Bluffs they concluded that thin place offered a better chance for a "high old time," and they decided to make their Christmas celebration here. They got here before daylight and at once begau laying in stock for their frolic at Dan Larkins's grocery," the common name for what wo call saloons, probably because most of the tippling-ahops of that day were really "groceries" as well. They were soon howling drunk, and like all of their kind, even down to the "cowboy" of the cattlo ranches, when drunk, they were frantic to mash things. They began smashing Laxkins's doggery. Tho uproar waked tho neighbors, and a crowd collected to protect l)an and his property. The rowdies were well armed, and tho Indianapolitans were not armed at all, so the latter began their remonstrances respectfully. They didn't caro much for Dan, nor for his cabin or bottles, but they did caro for the liquon There was no distillery on the west sido of the river to make "Bayo u Blue." as there was a few years later, and whisky was precious, especially at Christmas tirno and New Year's day. So they proceeded, like the old man of tho spellingbook story with the boy in his apple tree, to remonstrate with tufts of grass. The offenders laughed at such feeble interference, as the boy did, and the people decided, like the old man, to "try what virtue thero was in stones." They talked the matter over, and James Blake proposed to arrest the leader single-handed, if the remainder of tho crowd would arrest the other threo. So said; so done. The Kentucky leader was a big, powerful man, but he was drunk and furious, while Mr. Blake was equally big and powerful, and sober and level-headed. The rioters were taken to 'Squire Mcllvain, who lined them heavily, and. in default of pay, sent them to jail. That is, ho ordered them taken to Couner8ville. The county was attached to Bartholomew, but that county had no jail That would have been a costly journey, and, possibly, an unsafe one, and tho constable was ''tipped a wink" not to watch them too closely in the night. They made their escape, as was intended, and saved trouble and money for the people. On the last day of December, 1S21, tho Legislature formed the county of Marion, with an order that the organization should be completed by the 1st of April, 1822, The territory of Johnson and Hamilton counties, and a large part of Boone, Madison and Hancock were attached to Marion for judicial purposes. William Wr. Wick, of Conncrsville, was elected by the Legislature presiding judge of the county, and Hervey Bates, of the same place, was appointed sheriff by tho Governor. They came here and assumed their orlices in February, 1822. The Fifth Circuit, of which our county formed a part, contained the following counties: Marion, Monroe, Owen, (ireen, Morgan, Lawrence, Kush, Hendricks, Decatur, Bartholomew, Shelby and Jennings. On the 22d of February, 1822. Mr. Bates issued his proclamation appointing an election on tho 1st of the following April, at which would bo chosen two associated judges, a clerk, a recorder and three County Commissioners. Keturns were to be forwarded by the Sd of April. The voting place their wide separation is worth noting were General CaiVs house in tho town -General Carr was the State agent to sell the town, and his houso was a double log-cabin on the west side of Delaware street, at the mouth of the alley, and standing a little way back from the 6treet; John Page's, at Strawtown, Hamilton county; John Berly's, Anderscntown. Madison county; William McCartney's, on t all creek, near Pendleton. There was no lack of candidates for the first election. Parties were not divided by national issues hero. It was the Monroe "era of good feeling." and national questions had not yet grown iuto shape and substance to replace those that disappeared after the war of 1812. The local division was "Kentucky" and "Whitewatrr," tho latter mainly representing the Eastern or free State immigration, tho other the Keutucky, 'lennes.-we and Virginia settlers, though the lines wero not closely drawn on these geographical divisions. "Whitewater" made James 31. Kay its candidate for clerk and its leader. "Kentucky" did the same with Morris Morri. There were three other candidates, Milo K. Davis, Thomas Anderson and John W, Kedding. For associate judges, Robert Patterson. James Mcllvuine, James Page, Kliakim Harding, John Smock and Kev. John McCluug. For recorder. Alexander Kal&ton. James Linton, Joseph C Keed, Aaron Drake. John Givan, John Hawkins, William Vaudegrift ami William Townlend. No record names the candidates for the county board, except the three elected, but it is of traditional aathoritv that there were abont fifteen of them. James McllVaine and liliakiiu Harding werp elected

) indges, James 31. Ray clerk, J. Keed recorder, and John McOU.'('U Vs. JietMl IClUlUCli 11.114 Willi illf Corniiek. William McCartney and John T. Osborn County Commissioners. Tho voto here was 224, rather moro than half supposed but not certain on the donation. The county vote was 5. including adjoining counties. Most of the Keutuckiaus had come too late to vote, and Mr. Kay in consequence polled 217 votes the highest on cither ticket. AX OLD SUIT REVIVED. Process of Law Applying to Land Once Bought by the State for One of Its Institutions. Tho property known as the McCaslin farm, situated east of the city, is about to come into litigation for the third time, and it is not unlikely that the same issues which the courts have twice passed upon will bo involved. The case presents Borne of those curious features which are by no means common, and demonstrate how property may be held indefinitely when the State's interest is Involved, and the officers whose duty it is to look after it aro constantly being changed by elections. In 1807 a tract of oue hundred acres of land was purchased near the city by the State as the site for a house of refuge. It was afterwards determined to locate the institution at Plainfield, and Governor Baker and its trustees were appointed a committee to dispose of the land purchased in this county. In October following the committee sold the property to William McCaslin for $7,500, and took his note and a mortgage upon some other lands for tho purchase money. No payment was made on the farm, but up to 1875 McCaslin was engaged in cutting off the timber and hauling it to this city, thus constantly reducing the value of the laud while tho State saw no prospect of getting tho purchase money. Tho mortgaged lands were sold, but they brought but 800 or Z'JCQ, and in 1875 6uit was filed on tho part of the State for tho recovery of the land. The case went through all the courts, and was finally decided against McCaslin, and the land ordered sold. This timo Mrs. McCaslin became the purchaser, and a small amount of money was paid on tho farm. The contract of sale was never carried out, and again in 1S84 the case got into the courts. Another decree of sale followed, and McCaslin was dispossessed, but went back upon tho land. By this time it had suffered from the general depreciation of land in this county, and, the appraisement being very high, no bidders appeared. McCaslin was on the farm and promised to pay rent, and the Auditor, not being able to find a purchaser, consented to let him have the farm in consideration of a fair rental. A part of tho rent money agreed upon was paid, and then McCaslin refused or neglected to pay any more, and for the past live years has lived upon the laud without paying anything to tho State. Possession was demanded of him sometime ago, but he refused to surrender the tract, and it will be again brought into court before the State can get possession of the property. McCaslin says that there are some entirely new questions in the caso, some that were not brought out in the former trials, and he believes that he cau hold the land against the State. It is claimed by tho State officers that he has no title whatever, but there is but one way to get possession' of it, and that is by earn ing it again into the courts for a judicial decision. In 1807 the laud was worth $7,500, but it is not now worth more than $3,000. The trouble with the last proceeding was that the Auditor did not refuse to letMcCasliu live upon the land, but ho thought it better that the State should receive some rent from it than to let it lie idle. He had no idea that tho tenant would ever set np a claim to tho land alter two suits in court had effectually settled the right of tho State to the propertj'. Having gotten it legally in his possession as a renter, he proceeds to lay claim to it in fee, notwithstanding the time-honored maxim that the tenant cannot call in question tho title of the landlord to tho property he rents. When the courts again pass upon the questions involved, and possession is given the State, there will probably bo an order restraining McCaslin from entering npon tho land for any purpose whatever. Ibis, in the judg mont of the State officers, is the only thing that will keep McCaslin off the land, and prevent other suits to establish tho State's title to the property. TIIE COMING OP THE MESSIAH. Seventh-Day Adventists Have Not the Date Fixed, but Expect His Appearance Soon. Key. William C. Wales, pastor of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, was seen by a Journal reporter, yesterday, and asked regarding the press dispatch stating that certain religious sects had fixed upon the 6th inst. for the coming of tho Messiah. He had not seen tho article referred to, bnt answered promptly that the Seventh-day Adventists had no connection whatever with any sect or individual that pretended to fix a certain date for the coming of Christ "Wo oppose all such movements," said he, "for we do not delieve thexe is any authority for such definite dates. Tho Bible declares no man knows the day or tho hour of tho Savior's coming, and that is our positron exactly. We believe, however. He will como soon, as certain signs are given by which we may detenniuo the near approach of tho event. The Adventist movement has arisen in tho present century and the subject has been brought to the front very prominently in all donominations. While nearly all profess to believo in the second visible coming of Christ, we are distinguished from them by teaching his speedy coming. They have a kind of latent faith which looks to His coming at some time, but wo expect to see Him, expect that He will come in the present generation. Wo believe the prophecies are now or are being rapidly fulfilled, and by these signs we are taught to look for His early coming. Joseph Cook said in a recent lecture that one of the seven modern wonders of the world is the current fulfillinentofBibiical prophesy." "Then the Seventh-day Adventists are not in any manner believers in the Millerites of fifty years ago!" suggested the reporter. "Not in any sense. Miller was a Baptist minister, and some three hundred in thU country and seven hundred in England wero associated with him in his teachings and in his belief that Christ would come in 1844. While we do not indorse Miller's position, we believo he was nearer right in his belief than those who opposed him. He advocated Christ's coming in 18-14, and that will take place sometime. His opponents said that iustead of Christ's coming, the world would bo converted in 1844, and that will never occur, for we are told the darkest period of this world, morally, will be jnst beforo His coming. There wero no Seventh-day Adventists in tho time of Miller, and while there have since been various dates fixed for the advent of the 3Iessiab. Seventh-day Adventists have had no connection with them, but have always denounced them." . "In what respect, then, do yon differ in belief from other Christian denominations?" "In nothing save the advent of the Savior, as I have already stated. We are Baptists in tbo distinctive doctrine of immersion, and Methodists in the distinctive doctrine of free grace. In these things we agree, and we differ only in the time when the Messiah shall come." In speaking of his work in this city. 3Ir. Wales said bo is the first regular pastor of tho church now under his charge; that ho has sustained the relation for some nine months, and during this time the membership has increased from nineteen to forty, the regular attendance upon the services being about seventy-five. The congregation has a commodious house of worship on Central avenue, and is apparently in a prosperous condition. The anuual camp-meeting will be held at Kokomo next week, and all tho churches in the State will bo represented. For Coramander-ln-ChleC Secretary of State Griffin is to be supported by the Indiana delegates at the next national encampment of the Sons of Veterans, for commander-in-chief of tho order. A circular setting forth tho value of such aselectionhasbeenentout, sigued by leading members of the Indiana Division. It indicates that Mr. Griffin's friends are encrSetic in their eflorts to secure for hhu this onort which he sp well deserves.

AMUSEMENTS FOR TIIE WEEK. Opening of the Regular Season at the GrandOther Theatrical Attractions. The regular dramatic season of 1880-90, at the Grand Opera-house, will begin Thursday night of this week, with "A Brass Monkey," Charles IL floyt's popular farce-comedy, as the attraction. The engagement will be for f our perf ornances, including a Saturday matinee, and a better selection for an opening card could not havo been made. Hoy t has written quite a number of popular plays, but "A Brass Monkey" has been one of the best successes of them alb The piece is intended as a satire on superstition, and tho scene is laid in an auction-room, where a great variety of characters appear and introduce songs, dances, comic speeches, tunny business, and laughable complications. The play had a run of more than 100 performances at the Bijou Opera-house, New York, and did the finest business ever known in that theater. The company is in every respect a strong one. Charles Drew, a singer and comedian much above tho average.assumes the leading character. 31iss Flora Walsh is also a member of the combination. The engagement at the Grand promises to be a marked success. The advance sale of seats will open to-morrow. "A Soap Bubblo," which has been seen here before and is known to be ono ol the funniest comedy creations of the day, with E. J. Connelly, a character actor of recognized ability, in the principal role, is the attraction announced for the Park Theater. It is one of those extravagant farces with no particular plot or dramatic merit, bein g simply a light running vehicle for the in-' traduction of a well-arranged list of popular musical selections, attractive dances and entertaining specialty features. The author's only aim was to amuse tho audience for the evening and those who have seen the piece will testify to the fact that he scored a success. The performance is not giveu by one or two people, for tho reason that 31r. Connelly has surrounded himself with performers of capacity, and as a result tho show is spirited and full of f nn from the time the curtain goes up until it falls on the last scene. Miss Virginia Ko.is and Dolly Foster are members of tho company and both aro favorites at tho Park. The engagement will open to-morrow afternoon. At the Grand Opera-house, Wednesday night, Lily Clay's female specialty and burlesque company, with nearly forty people, will appear for a single performance. This, the oldest company of the kind on the road, has filled several engagements in Indianapolis, The programme is made np largely of specialty features, such as songs, dances, marches and comedy sketches. Tho company has a few male members, but most of tho entertaiment is in the hands of the women. Alice Townsend is the chief performer, though others too numerous to mention participate in the various features of tho bill. The combination travels in its own car. The advance sale of seats begins to-morrow morning at tho Grand Operahouse box-othce. The formal opening of English's Operahouse will not take place until the 12th of tho present month, when George Ober, an actor of the Denman Thompson school, will fill an engagement, playing "Old Homespun," one of the successes of the past season. The work of decorating and generally overhauling English's is about done, and the house presents a handsome appearance. It has been repapered and otherwise improved. Stage Gossip. Mrs. Blaine is very ill, and her starring tour may bo postponed. Laura Burt expects to star in "Jack Sheppard" this season. George Ober, in "Old Homespun," is meeting with unusual success. Kichard Golden is in the far West, but is headed in this direction. Hettie Bernard Chase, who will come to the Park Theater next week, is doing well in tho Northwest. Kobert Downing will commence his . season at Detroit, Mich., to-morrow night, in the character of Virginias. Helen Dauvray will not act this season after all, owing to the opposition of John Montgomery Ward, her husband. Several New York managers will go to Columbus, O., to witness tho opening performance of "Kajanka" on Sept. 10. A. P. Burbank, the popular reader, has been engaged by Daniel 1 rohman to act the part of Dick Phenyl, in "Sweet Lavender," on the road this season. Florence St John, the English burlesque Actress, who will be hero this winter with "Faust Up to Date," is said to earn $25,000 a year by her labors on the stago. Dan Collyer has been engaged by Harry Phillips for Kate Castleton's company, which opens its season at Albany. Sept. 0. Kehearsals began in New York last Monday. "Booties' Baby!' has survived its fourhour performance of the first night and is now a genuine hit Charles Stevenson's performance of Booties is said to be tho hit of his life. . ... It is said that the receipts of "Antiopo" at Niblo's thus far have been tho largest for the corresponding time of any spectacle that has been given at that theater for tho past fifteen years. Charles Canficld, who played the role of Clifford Armytige in the "Lights of London" last season, has signed with Clara Morris. Mr. Canficld has been summenng at York Beach, in Maine. Negotiations havo been concluded for E. 11. Sothern and his company to appear next spring in "Lord Chumley" at the Criterion Theater, London. "The Wife" is also to be produced at this house during the winter. WTilliam H. Young, for four years the stage manager of Mrs. Langtrv, has written a melodrama entitled "Itight of Way," which will probably be produced this season by a well-known manager. The scenes of the new play are laid in the South before the war. The new part which 3Ir. Stuart Kobson is to create at the Chicago Opera-house, in Steele Mackaye's "Arrant Knave" is something between Theodoro do Banville's "Gringoiro" and Paul Pernor's "Tabariu" tho two characters in which Coquelin displays the most powerful mastery of his art Last week Koland Keed opened his season at the Boston Museum to the largest receipts of any of his successful engagements at that house. He appeared in "The Woman Hater." Isidore Kush and Kuth Carpenter, the latter from this city, the new members of 3Ir. Keed's company, are highly spoken of by the local critics. Maggie Mitchell's repertoire this season will include "Kay," "Fanchon" and two new plays. The route booked for her is claimed by 3Ianager Lykens to be the best paying ono that has yet been seenred. It consists of week stands entirely, with the exception of the California tour and the engagement in Indianapolis, which is for threo nights only. The Amphitheater Auditorium is the name of tho new building in Louisville, where the great Shakspearian Dramatic Festival is to occur, and on which occasion tho farewell joint appearances of Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett are to furnish the attraction. The seating capacitj is 3,500, and the stago is ninety feet wide by sixty deep. The owner rejoices in the name of Daniel Quilp. "Bluebeard, jr., or Fatima and the Fairy," which has enjoyed such a remarkable run at the Chicago Opera-house, will begin its road season on Sept 22, at the Grand Operahouse, Milwaukee. Thence he will proceed eastward, playing extended engagements in Philadelphia. Boston and New York city. The New York time will be filled at N fblo's. W emyss Henderson will look after the business interests of the organization on the road. "A Royal Pass" promises to be one of the successes of tho fall season. The play was written by Scott Marble. It is a story of one Andreas Hoffer, a retired Kusslan army officer, who is living in Switzerland as a gnido and conrier, and who is married to the daughter of a Kussian countess. Jarrsiwitz, a Kussian police inspector, is in lovo with Holler's wife's fortune, and, by an fntrigue with the countess, tho wife is spirited away to Kussia. Tbo wronged husband follows, and, suspected of beiug a Nihilist, is sent to Siberia and imprisoned. After three years he is given his freedom and a rojral pass to return nome to Switzerland. Not unlike liin Van Winkle,

he returns old and gray-haired. Tho piece is quite lengthy, and intersiersed with dramatic situations.

Cardinal Newman, who is now in his eighty-ninth year, cordially receives American visitors whenever bis health permits. He is simple to a degree in his habits, getting up. until quite lately, even if he does not do it still, between 5 and G in the morning, both in summer and winter. He then says mass in achapel adjoining his bedroom, and afterward takes his breakfast, aud during tho day presides over the meals of tho fathers at 1 o'clock and at 6. On great feast days such as that of St. Philip rJeri, who founded the congregation, or of fits. Peter aud Paul the Cardinal conducts the service of benediction for the boys in the school chapel, but even this light effort has been more than he could frequently undertake during the last two or three years.

Jf you are suffering do not delay, but call and consult this noble representative of a persecuted race. GUN WA WILL CURE YOU, Or tell you, in all kindness, that ho cannot, but all of the above-mentioned troubles which Gun Wra calls "AMERICAN DISEASES" (they having been mastere d an eliminated in his country), quickly and permanently yield to these Nature's Cures, which are tho result of thousands of years of research and study in the home of Confucius, and are considered positive specifics among tho tipper and educated classes in tho Celestial Empire. THOUSANDS OF TESTIMONIALS arc sent daily to Gun Wa, whoso celebrated Chinese Vegetable Medicines aro recognized the world over by their healing and life-giving qualities. They are made of rare medicinal herbs, imported from China for this sole purpose, and aro not in use nor known to any physician in tho United States. Gun Wa is not allowed to practice his profession nor to visit tho sick, as his limited knowledge of tho English language prevents his graduating in any of the American colleges of medicine.
