An Indiana and Ohio Circuit Formed Dates cf Events and the Officers Chosen. representatives of ten cities and towns, nine in this State and one (Lima) in Ohio, met at the Grand Hotel yesterday afternoon, to organize an Indiana and Ohio racing circuit. The following gentlemen were in attendance, representing the points named: Robert Smith, Fort Wayne; W, H. Breeding, Poly Wade and M. Cutsinger, -Edinbarg; John D. Lyle and Joseph F. Gnent, Columbus; W. . Jones and Frame J. Hall, RashYllle; George II. Bronson, Cambridge City; Isaac Kline and George W. Masnmeier, .Richmond: T. C. Talbert. Lima, O.; F. W. Conrad, Fern; J. M. Leach, Kokomo, and W. II. Uazen, Wabash. Mr. llazen soon found that he, could not get satisfactory dates for Wabash, and arcordingly withdrew from the meeting. "Much diilicnlty was experienced in arranging the dates, and most of the afternoon was spent in a fruitless endeavor to satisfy all the representatives. Richmond was largely the disturb.; element, and in the endeavor to give that association the dates it wanted or rather to avoid giving it these it did not want, some dissatisfaction was created among other towns. After trying in vain to arrange a programme that would suit everybody, it was given np as a hopeless task, and the delegates concluded that the easiest way ont of it was to drop Richmond, which they proceeded to do. After this had been accomplished it was smooth sailing, and the following circuit was made up: IMinbnnr, June 9 to 12, inclusive. Columbus, June 10 to 19, inclusive. Kushville, June 23 to 23, inclusive. Cambridge City, June 30 to July 3, Inclusive. Peru, July 7 to 10, inclusive Kokomo, July 1-1 to 17, inclusive. Fort Wayne, July 21 to 2 1, inclusive. Lima, July 23 to 31, inclusive. It was decided to call the organization the Indiana TrottiDg and Pacing Association, and officers were elected as follows: Tresldent Joseph F. Ghent, Columbus. Secretary George II. lirousou, Cambridge City. - Executive Committee W. II. Breeding, Edin-: bare; John D. Lyle, Columbus: W. A. Jones, Ruhvllle: Georce II. Bronson, Cambridge City; Major Calvert. Lima. J. M. Leach. Koftomo: F. W. Conrad, I'eru, and W. W. llockhJU, Foit Wayne. This committee will meet next Thursday, at the Grand Hotel, to arrange the classes and purses. As Wabash has only a halfmile track its withdrawal occasioned little regreL Of the eight points remaining, Kushville, Cambridge City, Fort Wayne and Pern have mile and the remaining four half-mile tracks. LITE STOCK IX THE STATE. The Statistician's Figures Concerning the Number of Cattle, Horse3, Sheep and Hogs. William A.reelle, jr., chief of the Bureau of Statistics, has completed his tables, showing the condition of live stock in the State. During the past year 17.805 horses and mules, 24,'JOl cows and 256,991 hogs died from natural causes, while 25,713 sheep were killed by dogs. The value of sheep destroyed is estimated bv Mr. Peelle at $59,108. The following statistics show the xinmber ofjhorses in the State: French draft, French coach. 1.914; Clydesdale. 9.S02; Knglishires, 7,4,with all other breeds making a total of C02.GC1.

THE OFFICES DISTRIBUTED

Niblack Again to Wield the Gavel and Make Rulings on Partisan Measures, Patient and Persevering Capt Hilli0S3 Left in the Kear .Nominations Made and Folic Defined bj the Republican Caucus. THE SLATE UNBROKEN. 'l black to be Speaker and Newkirk Clerk of tho Hoo.se Again. The fight is over, what there was of it, and the slates announced in the Journal yesterday morning went through without a scratch. The Democratic House combination had been well advertised for several days prior to the caucus, and that of the Senate was known all of yesterday. Yet the opposition was unable to disarranee either in the slightest particular. Yesterday the friends of Captain Hilligoss attempted- to make some headway with a combination of Hilligoss, Bcnz and Bulger for Secretary, assistant secretary and Door-keeper of the Senate, but they were unable to make the slightest impression upon the satisfactory arrangement the Democratic Senators had made for the disposition of the offices. As the day wore on the Curtii followers grew more and more confident nntil by evening they were claiming thirty-eight votes, or enough to nominate the Indianapolis man on the first ballot. Not only did they claim the thirty. eight, but they had the names of that many members who were supposed to be pledged to vote for Curtis. 1 hen they expected to secure most of the llench vote on the second ballot, if a second ballot was found necessary. Captain Curtis himself felt reasonably sure of success, in spite of the fact that he had been in the tight bat a few days while his opponent had been working for two months to secure a re-election. The Niblack pull on the old members and the iniluence of the beads of the Stats institutions, tho Indiana School-book Company and other interests were too much for the young member from Indianapolis, however, though he made a still light. For the first time in three days the office of the Grand Hotel was practically deserted daring a portion ot last evening. The scene of action had been transferred to the State-house, where the crowd made much less impression than at the hotel. The House caucus was held in the rooms of the State Hoard of Agriculture, organizing promptly at 8 o'clock by selecting Samuel S. liarrell, of Franklin, the oldest member of the body, chairmau, and Andrew A. Adams, of Whitley, secretary. All the 6eventy-four members were present. The caucus proceeded at once to ballot for Speaker, Mason J. Niblack ot Knox, James 13. Curtis of Marion, and Samuel M. Hench of Allen, having been nominated in the order named. The first ballot resulted as follows: Niblack. S7; Curtis, 28; llench, 8; scattering, 1. The chairman announced that some one of the members had, evidently by mistake, voted the card of a candidate for Door-keeper, whereupon Mr. Niblack, before the result of the ballot was announced, informed the caucus, in a modest little sneech, that he would take no unfair advantage in the contest and did not want the speakership unless he could be eleoted fairly. It was a clever piece of politics, for Niblack knew he lacked one vota of a nomination, and that a few words of the sort he spoke would have the eilect of holding bis vote solid if it showed any ten dency to weaken. Before the second ballot was taken Judge Hench' name was withdrawn, and his eight votes went to Niblack. thus electing him. The result of this ballot was: Niblack, 45; Curtis, 23; scattering, 1. Captain Curtis moved that the nomination of Mr. Niblack be made unanimous, which was done. The door-keeper problem was next taken up, and three candidates were placed in nomination, F. D. Heimbaugh, of Miami; R. M. Robertson, of Tipton, and John D. Carter, of Orange. It took but a single ballot to decide this, Heimbaugh receiving 45 votes. Robertson 26 and Carter 2. Thomas J. Newkirk, of Hush, and Emmet Rose, of Marion, were named for Clerk and Newkirk was an easy winner, receiving 47 votes to 25 for Hose and 1 scattering. Charles E. Crawley, of Sullivan, was nominated for assistant clerk, receiving 41 votes, to 27 for J. Fred France, of Adams, and 6 for D. T. Stevenson, of Crawford. A motion was made that the statute of 18S1 should govern the matter of appointments to minor positions in the House, but this was choked oil by a motion to adjourn, which went through with a whirl. The Senate caucus did not meet nntil 8:30. when it organized by electing George A. Byrd, of Clay and Owen, as chairman, and Perry O. Jones, of Marshall and Fulton, as secretary. D. II. Fenton, of Lake, was chosen by acclamation for the office of secretary, and George S. Pleasants, of Switzerland, had practically no opposition, receiving SO votes to 2 for John B. Benz, of Crawford, and 1 for John I). Carter, of Orange. Two of Fen ton's cards were dropped into the hat by mistake, making up the 35 Democratic votes, for John F. Mcllugh was admitted to the caucus as a Senator and given the privilege of voting. Oliver T. Wells had everything his own way in the door-keeper direction, receiving thirty-two votes to two for Daniel F. Lemon, of Crawford. It can be seen from the above figures that there was really no opposition to the slate. The other candidates recognized the futility of going into the contest, and though the form of a ballot was gone through in two instances it was a waste of time. "I am entirely satisfied,' said Captain Curtis to a Journal reporter after the caucus, "with the manner in which my friends have conducted my campaign. We expected to succeed and are naturally disappointed, but the tight wan one against great odds. I was so late getting into the race for one thing, and then there were many elements favoring Mr. Niblack's re-election which contribnted to my defeat. 1 am confident that I had the earnest support of every member of the Marion county delegation from first to last, notwithstanding reports to the contrary. It was just another case of not having votes enough, and that often happens in politics, you know." Captain Curtis takes his defeat gracefully, and whatever disappointment he feels he has the happy knack of keeping it so far in the background that it is not visible to the naked eye. Judge Hench is in the position of the man who expected nothing he was not disappointed. The statute ot 1881, which was sprung on the House caucus but smothered by a sudden adjournment, gives the principal clerk nine assistants, and the assistant clerk and door-keeper each seven assistants. The pressure for the subordinate positions is terrific and there are a dozen or more applicants for every place. Contestant Mcllugh Favored. In the Democratic senatorial caucus, last night, the Osborn-Mcllugh contest from Tippecanoe county .was briefly discussed.. Some of the Democratic hot-heads were in favor of throwing Osbornout without tho formality of referring the matter to a committee. Cooler counsel, however, prevailed. While it is certain that Osborn will be robbed of his seat, the larceny will be committed with due regard to form. WHAT REPUBLICANS DID. Nomination for General Assembly Officers by the Minority Tarty. The Republican members of the House held their caucus last night in room 120 of the State-Louse. Ever; one of the twentysix members, was present. On motion W. S. Hoggart, Joint-representative ofTippecauoeand Clinton counties, was chosen to preside, and John M. Morris, of Henry, was selected as secretary. After a motion from A. C. Linderautb, of Wayne, that the caucus nominate candidates to be voted for at the House orgsnizatibn, the following were named by acclamation: Fnealter, Alexander ileus. Wabash. Clerk, Wilbur F. encesee, Tippecanoe, AnsUtant Clerk. 11. A. Nay, Jefferson. . Doorkeeper, John Child. Decatur. Messrs. JefF Claypool, Henry and Fayette; Alex. Hess, Wabash, and W. M. Brown, Steuben, were appointed members of tbe joint caucus committee of the House and Senate. A plan of action for the coin

ing session was discussed fully, nearly every member having something to say. There were some who favored the appointment of a committee to which should be submitted all bills that maybe drafted or proposed by Republican members, but the preponderance of sentiment was against such a committee, and by common consent it was agreed that each member should be answerable to his conscience and constituents for any legislation be might propose. It was agreed in a general way that in the matter of legislation Republicans will introduce and urge the passage ot laws in a-' cordance with tho pledges of the Republican State platform. In the matter of legislation introduced and pushed by the Democrats adverse to public interests and public demands, or purely in the interests of the Democratic party, all reasonable opposition will bo interposed, to the extent at least of putting the majority on record. Filibustering or dilatory tactics purely for the purpose of delay will not be resorted to. The sentiment of the caucus was unanimous in favor of the passage of an equitable fee and salary bill and for the enactment of a law lacing the benevolent institutions of the tate under non-partisan control. It was further agreed that Republicans shall use every reasonable means for the attainment of these ends. All the Republican members of the upper branch of the General Assembly were 1a attendance at the caucus held in Lieutenantgovernor Chase's office. Room 83, of the State-honse. Gen. William Gross, of New Castle, presided. This caucus, though the smallest in point of numbers of the four held wastthe last to adjourn. The situation, tho duty of Republicans in view of existing circumstances, what should be done and what should be left undone were all canvassed from every stand-point, and, in the main, the conelusions reached were in accord with the sentiments ot the House members as noted above. The caucus decided to bestow its complimentary vote as follows: Secretary C. C Waite, Randolph. Assistant Secretary George ii. Henderson, Bpencer, Door-keeper W. A. DuBoie, Hamilton. Laws They Would Like to Have. The legislative committee of the Farm-, ers' Alliance, Grange and Federation of Trades met at Hotel English last night and decided to ask the Legislature to pass bills looking toward the establishment of a fee and salary system for county offices, the prevention of adulterating food and medicine, the compulsion of corporations to pay

taxes for special privileges, the confining of convict labor to the wants of the State, and the repeal of the law empowering county commissioners to call elections for voting subsidies. The Farmers' Alliance also decided to ask tbe Legislature to put all gravel roads in eharge of the road supervisors, to require all permission to hunt on private farms to be written, and to compel teachers to make the enumeration of school children. ' Republican Headquarters. John K. Gowdy, chairman of the Republican State committee, left for his home, at Rushville, last evening. Mr. Gowdy stated to a Journal reporter yesterday afternoon that he and Secretary Milliken had looked at two or three diilerent suites of rooms for headquarters without Jiaving reached a conclusion. The probability is that rooms will be secured at the Denison, it being easy of access and centrally located. ADVICE TO HUSBANDS AND WYES. Mrs. Dr. Potts Tells Married People Row to Continue the Happiness of Their Courtship, The lecture of Mrs. Dr. Potts at the Grand Opera-house, last night, to which an admission fee was charged, was as largely attended at those when tbe doors were open to everybody. The auditorium, with balcony and gallery, was packed, the auditors showing much interest in the lady's talk on "Love, Courtship and Marriage." In the course of her remarks she said those who marry know not what they do, .Xb man keen in business is a dullard regardiug love. Ask a girl what kind of a bonnet she wants, and she knows. Asi her, though, what kind of a husband she wants and she will say, "I don't know some one to support me." As a consequence men are cynical and both sexes sutler. "Marriage is the most important business of life." said the Doctor, "and we ought to go about it in a business-like manner. Young man, if you are courting learn your girl's political and religious beliefs. If she is considerate of her father and her mother, speaks not ill of her companions, is truthful and respects herself and is not unreasonably jealous she will make a good wife. But with a contracted waist goes hiring a doctor by the year. Girls, If your young man speaks ill of his friends do not marry him. Above all learn if he is kind to his mother. Let your motto be, 'a teetotaler or no husband.' Having married, to be happy afterward keep up the attentions by which you won each other. If your husband is in business have his slippers ready. the daily paper at hand when he comes home, meet him with a smile, have dinner ready, speak well of his friends and do not annoy him with your household cares. Run your fingers through his hair and tell him that you love him. The man is never too old to like that. Do not be a submissive slave, but make home pleasanter than the club. Husband, when yon meet your wife on the street lift your hat as you did before marriage. Praise her at times, and look about yon when you come home. If you see things she has done in anticipation of your coming, speak of them. When you go among, your friends do not make sport of marriage. To both of you I would say avoid jealousy. Be truthful always, and no matter how unpleasant the confession do not deceive." The last two afternoon lectures to ladies only will be delivered to-day and to-morrow, at the Grand Opera-house, at 2:30 o'clock. ITEMS FROM THE STATION-HOUSE. George Reynolds Arrested by a Detective for Grand Larceny and llarglary. Detective Thornton arrested George Rey-. nolds yesterday, who was in the act of selling to a Massachusetts Avenue second-hand dealer a boy's coat, which was stolen the night before from the house of Charles McGuire, No. 432 North Pennsylvania street. The detective reached the store in time to see Reynolds enter, nnd while watching him make the sale, discovered two other coats which he recognized as having been stolen nt the same time. Reynolds was therefore put under arrest and slated at the station-house for grand larceny and burglary. The second-hand dealer said that the other coats had been sold to him by another man. ' The description given of this man was that of Frauk Thome, who was arrested by Chief Splann and detectives Thornton and Quigley last evening about 7 o'clock, on Illinois street A third member of the gang who, it is supposed, were the burglars at McGuire's hous, quickly separated from Thome when he saw the detectives approaching and evaded arrest. The three men. the latter being apparently of middle age, are strangers in the city, and are thought to be responsible for several recent burglaries. Drunk and Melons. John Finn was arrested 'by patrolman Manning yesterday morning on West Washington etreot for intoxication. Finn fought the officer in a savage way, and the latter in defending himself was compelled to use his club freely. Finn kept np his resistance in tbe patrol wagon, compelling patrolman Mathey to threaten to use his club to keep him quiet. Dr. Hodges was called to the station to dress tho man's wounds. Will Not Join the Army. Leonidas Osburn, wanted for larceny at Lebanon, was arrested at the United States recruiting station, on East Washington street, yesterday, by patrolmen Stout and Mefiord. Information bad been wired the police of Oub urn's intention to join the regular army. He was held as a fugitive. Three Watches and Money Stolen, Thieves, about 8 o'clock last night, got into Peter Miller's living rooms above his saloon, at the comer of South and Delaware streets, and stole three watches and 50 in silver.

Report of Deputy Architect Ilaumann Concerning the Soldiers' Monument. Frederick Banmann, deputy architect of the boldiers' monument, submitted his first official report to President Langsdale, ox the monument commission, yesterday, in which he gave the result of a recent examination of tho work. "The monument, in its design," Mr. Banmann says, "challenges consideration as a work of fine art, differing from ordinary architectural work as does a human face drawn by a Rubens or a Durer from one drawn by a young man in school. The differences, technically considered, may appear trifling, but from the standpoint of true art they are very marked. I regard with pride the duty nnder which I assisted to give the monument being in this world of reality, and I take the liberty of saying that I consider this pride tbe principal part of my recompense." In further reporting concerning the work, Mr. Bauniann -Raid tbe central shaft plan, which is being followed, oilers the simplest and most economical construction of the monument. "This plan," he remarked, "has been the cause of a nnmber of attacks made by sundry individuals through the newspapers. The somewhat odd appearance of tbe cross section of tbe shaft gave rise to contrary opinions among a fewj experts by whom improvements, so-called, were offered, to which I' could not consent. In case the structure should mate an impress on the ground, the improvements suggested appeared to me positively dangerous, and in tbe contrary case they would be of no avail whatever. I did not object, however, to an increase of two inches on the thickness of the inner shaft, and I requested the introduction of eighteen additional horizontal braces between the shaft and its outer mantle. These braces were demanded simply to assist the mechanics in constructing the outer mantle, with its incline of one foot in rive." Mr. Banmann has fonnd that the foundation has been properly laid, and no fault can be, urged as to the manner in which the superstructure is going up. "A questian might arise," the report continues, "as to the possible result of storm pressure against tbe shaft. The rules of common .arithmetic can be made to solve this problem. The greatest probable wind pressure has been tixed at sixty pounds to the sQuaro foot. The shaft has a. lateral area of 2,100 square feet, affording a total possible wind pressure of 126,000 pounds. This is balanced by a dead weight of the shaft.of 900 tons, a 1,800,000 pounds, enhanced by the firm adhesion of mortar and joints. As to the general quality of the work, I can trnly say that 'it is with no little pride that I approach the question. I doubt whether at any place in this country there was ever any cut-stone work done with more success and devotion to thoroughness, neatness and accuracy, and I challenge inspection." Mr. Baumaun estimates that the total pressure of tho whole monument on the shift proper will be, when finished, 416 pounds to tbe square inch. Statue of Henry Bench. J. H. Mahoney, the sculptor, has just completed at his studio, in the Talbott Block, the first statue of Henry Bergh that has ever been made. The work was done on order of the Wisconsin Humane Society and people of Milwaukee. It is designed to stand onagTanite pedestal, resting on a rnstio pyramid of stones, in the center of a large granite drinking basin for horses and dogs. The fountain iabeing erected in front of tbe City Hall, of Milwaukee, and will be dedicated about tbe first of May. The total cost is to bo $15,000, the larger part of which has been contributed by Milwaukee citizens. The designing of the statue was intrusted to Mr. Mahoney laRt summer, and his whole time since then has been devoted to the work. The statue as finished preisents Bergh with firmly-planted feet, the right advanced and the weight of the body supported on the left. In his right hand is crasped the ready cane, with which ho was so thoroughly associated in the minds of those who had seen him walk the streets of New York, driving off tormenting boys from some dumb creature, or signalling to some driver to slack the cruel oheckrein. The artist has reproduced the sinewy, strong frame and broad shoulders a form which bears some likeness to Lincoln's. The head is inclined forward, and the body leaning in the same direction, allows the left hand to extend down and gently to rest on the head of a dose, sitting at the feet of tbe statue on the left side. The dog, a shapely greyhound, lifts his handsome head looking into tbe face of Bergh, and wearing an expression of gratitude for the sympathy he feels in given him through the gentle touch, on account of a wounded paw swathed in bandages and held np to view. The face of Bergh loses no line of firmness, but is expressive iof warmest sympathy with the dumb creat ure. The statue will be cast in bronze, heroic size, and for that purpose will be shipped soon to the Chicago Bronze Company, which has the contract for that part of the work. H. N. Hibberd, president of the company, was here Tuesday, and visited the artist's studio, in company with Mr. Langsdale, of the Soldiers' Monument Commission, and Mr. George T. Brewster, designer of the crowning piece of the monument. These gentlemen praised the work highly. Mr. Mahoney will keep it on exhibition to-day and to-morrow, and will throw open his studio to all visitors from to 4 p. m. Fire Chief Webster Very Sick. Fire Chief Webster, who has been too ill to assume charge of tbe department since New Year's day, when his term negan, was thought to be better yesterday morning, but last evening his condition was noticeably worse. It caused bis family to be very anxious about him. His fever became so violent that he was at times delirious. It is feared the disease will prove to be typhoid fever. A large number of callers have hitherto been admitted, but his condition is such that 'yesterday his physician. Dr. Hodge, advised that the sick man be no longer disturbed. Heard Their Police Matron's Report. The Mendian-strect W. C. T. U. met at the residence of Mrs. Pleasant Bond, No. 446 1'ark avenue, yesterday afternoon, about forty ladies being present The interest of the meeting centered in the first monthly report of Miss Campbell, police matron, who is employed by the union.
