The assessor is highly pleased with the list, as he says they are men in whom the community has confidence and are thoroughly familiar with real-estate values. They will not servo the whole sixty days, but will alternate, each giving as much time as he can spare to the work. Following is a list of deputy assessors, all Democrats, selected by 3Ir.

Complaining About the Tax Law. Colonel Walker, of tho Tax Commission, said yesterday that scores of letters were being receiyed daily from , assessors In all parts of the State complaining of the rigid character of tho instructions sent them. The aaseiunV said the Colonel, "do not seem to understand that we have nothing to do with framing tho instructions other than what the law provides we must do. We simply carry out the law. That f s alL One assessor wrote to-day that if he attempted to carry out his instructions he might as well movo out of his township, for he would be driven out by the enraged tax-payers. Well, if he does not follow those instructions, and thus obey the law, he lays himself liable to prosecution; so he is evidently in & sad predicament." Th new law is causing complaint from all quarters, and it won't bo long before ft hue and cry will go up from every section of Indiana. Ixsvr hat-racks at Wa L. Elder's.

FIGURING ON TIIE'STIiEETS

The List of Contracts That Came from Council to tho Board of Public Works, A Majority of Fennsjlyania-Street Property Holders Want Asphalt Other Petitions Jclm L. P. Stees Gets a Snuz Place, hoard or rUBLIO WOItKS. Asphalt for Pennsylvania Street, and Other Improvement The Water Question. The time of the Hoard of Pnblio Works was almost entirely occupied yesterday with the subject of street improvements. Tho comptroller submitted to tho board a list of contracts therefor let by tho Council, with an estimate of the city's share of the cost of each, the total amouutingtoinorethan$27,000. He also asked the board to make an estimato of what it would require for such contracts up to May 1. It was necessary to do this, as the board can let no contracts until the monoy is appropriated. Just after its regular session the board held a meeting yrith the Mayor, to discuss the subject. Tho estimates will be figured up later. The most important of the improvement petitions before the board was that for paving with asphalt Pennsylvania street from New York to Seventh, presented by Chas. F. Say lea and Judge Roach. The petition was signed by owners of 4.CC8 feet along tho street. This did not iuclude - the State propertF. nun-residente, nor the property-owncra desiring to pavo with brick, but Mr. Sayles explained that G3per cent, favored the asphalt. As a matter of fact the I'cnnsylvania-streot pnoplo are practically unanimous in wanting the Street paved, the only question being bs to whether it shall De asphalt or brick. This is a question which the board itself will decide, not only in this, but in all other cases. "When property-owners petition for an improvement the board will determine what the nature of it will bo. Pennsylvania will probably be one of the first streets to be improved, and as it is asphalted from Washington to Ohio, aud from Seventh to Fifteenth, the material chosen will probably be asphalt. What the width of tho asphalt will bs between Ohio and New York will havo to be determined, but from New York to Seventh it will probably be thirtylive feet, as the street is only sixty feet wide above St. Clair. The board explained to Mr. Say lea that the subject of the improvement could not be taken up until the Council appropriated money for stroet improvements. The 'petitions for asphalt for Tennessee street, from' Washington to South etraet, and Talbott avenue, from Seventh to Fifteenth, and the ordinances that had accompanied them in the Council, were lodged with the board for future action. ExCouncilman Fred Gaul urged the paving of South West street with briok. This is the improvement against which P. Leary presented a big remonstrance last week. Mr. Gaul explained the horrible condition of the street. And intimated that Mr. Leary obtained at least some of the signatures to his remonstrance . by misrepresentations. He also stated that if South west street was improved H. W. Piel would pave Morris street from Dakota street to the river. A delegation of property-owners on Virginia avenne, between Louisiana and Shelby streets, asked that the bowlders be dug up and the street filled with broken stone ud to the car tracks. Mr. Defroes asked them how they would like brick paving there, but they rather thought that would be too expensive. In this connection the important announcement was madethat, except in the outer districts of the eity, the board did not propose to make any streets that cannot be kept clean by sweeping. The idea of keeping graveled and macadamized streets, upon which there is heavy travel, clean by scraping is a delusion and a snare. Smith King, ex-township trusteo, presented a petition for the grading and graveling of Meridian street, north from Fall creek to Twenty-sixth street. Asthoeastside of the street is without the corporation the property-owners on that side will have to do their part of tho improvement by private contract. The engineer will make a plat of the street for the board. A number of petitions for sidewalks and alley improvements were before the board, some of them coming from the old Council. Simeon Coy-was again before the board to get an alley in his ward graded and graveled. The engineer submitted a complete schedule showing all the water-mains laid in tho city. The mains range in size from two to twenty-four inches, and there are in all 865,703 feet, or something over sixty-nine miles. Instructions to make out this schedule were given the engineer March 20. A communication was received from the water company setting forth the fact that there is a great demand for the extension of mains in many directions, and that Council bad by resolution ordered certain extensions. The r ipany wanted to know whether tbeso resolutions were binding. and said it had hoped the board wonld soon find time to take up this whole subject. Doth the schedule and the communication were filed for future action. Father Beasonies and others petitioned that the alley between St. John's Church and the acadsmr might be cleaned. It had not leen touched since the asphalt was laid on Illinois street, and the mud was deeper than the tops of ordinary shoes. Ihe engineer reported that the new fire cistern at Vermont and Linn streets was full of natural gas. The board canvassed the subject of taking out fire insurance on the cistern, but finally told the engineer to notify the contractor to repair it. 3IUKICIPAL MATTERS. Itomai Stuart Gives Up Ills 11 ace as Secretary and la Succeeded by J. L.. F. Steeg. The non-partisan Board of Publio Safety is at it again. It had a chance yesterday to get away from slum politics and the odor of the old tally-sheet conspiracy when Roinus Stuart resigned his post as secretary, but it failed to improve the opportunity. Sftiart resigned, he Bays, because the work is not congenial That is, it is not an entire sinecure. "It's not the kind of an office Pm lookfng for," said he to a Journal reporter. "There is enough work for two men, and, besides, I don't like the continual tussle with office-seekers." J. L. F. Steeg was immediately appointed to succeed him. Steeg was the law partner of Bernhamer before the latter went to tho penitentiary for his share in the tally-sheet conspiracy. Steeg succeeded in keeping out of that nasty mess, but when Mayor Denny was running for his second term, Steeg, as a notary, took tho affidavit of a man whom the Democratic committee had induced to swear to certain charges against the Mayor. The board yesterday appointed J. W. Winn a member of the police force. Winn is a colored Democrat and thus gets his reward. He is the thirtieth new man appointed. None of the old men have been reappointed yet, but are serving as volunteers. Their appointments will be announced to-night at roll-call, and the thirty whoso names are not read will understand that they are to hunt other jobs. Thirty changes in three weeks is a pretty fair record of civil-service reform. The Question of Sewer Aasesaments. "I see by this morning's Journal," said Comptroller Woollen, yesterday, "that Mr. Mason differs with the city attorney on the method of paying for sewers. Mason is right in sayiug the committee of framers did not intend that tho city should pay any Eart of the cost of sewers. They may not ave expressed themselves clearly in the charter, but there is no question that such was thsir intention." Detective Gerber ItetJgna. William Gerber, who is still sick with the effects of grip, an attack of which he had more than a year ago, has resigned his position on the city detective force. m McDevltt Politely Declined. During the thunder-storm yesterdar morning a patent lawyer from Springfield. O., had occasion to do some telephoning from the federal court clerk's office. The lichtning frisked alontr the wires, and I jinsled the bell in a fashion that caused tho

lawyer to hesitate before tackling the instrument. Concluding that a proxy would do quite as well nndsr. tho clrctinstancea, he looked around for a victim, and spying Deputy Clerk McDevitt's benigu countenance, he thonght he had found just tho man he was hunting for. "Will yon call them up for rue!" ho innocently remarked to tho deputy, "I will bo looking up sonio other people I wish to talk with." For a moment Mr. McDevitt was transfixed at the visiting attorney's superb nerve. "No, thank you." he replied. "They need toe hero at. the office to-day. Besides. I have a family." Tho lawyer did no telephoning, either directly or by proxy. - i LIST OP ENTERTAINMENTS.

Graduating Exercise of the Young Doctors of the Sydenham Sccioty. The twentieth annual commencement exercises of the Sydenham Society of the Medical College of Indiana took place last evening at Y. M. C. A. Hall. The musical part of tho programme was of a high grade of excellence, consisting of piano solos by Miss Minnie Diener, violin solos by Mr. W. C. Mannfeld, and vocal solos and duets by Miss May Johnson and Mr. John Geiger. Hanged upon the platform were the thirtyseven candidates of the college for graduation, a handsome and intellectual company of students, among whom was the one lady of the class. Miss Khoda Baldwin Johnson. A. N. Mackey made the senior address, his subject being "Popular Appreciation of Medicine." Tho tenor of his paper was to tho effect that those who now follow the profession with a proper spirit and have become liberally loarned in tho healing art are better rewarded, both in wealth and praise, at the present time than cvor before. He said there is no one who stands higher in the esteem and respect of the general public than he who is skilled in a knowledge of human ailments. No class of men have such a direct, and yet universal, influence on the happiness of humanity as doctors of medicine. Henry Miller gave a very creditable piece of rhyme, in which was a vein of humor, reciting, "The Cane of Mrs. John Jones," and which was much applauded. The junior address was by Mr. F. T. Rudy, his subject being, "The Elements of Medical Progress." He spoke of the honorable progress in the science in the past one hundred years as being more valuable than that of nearly all the preceding centuries. Medical achievement was now upon the Hues of scientific truth; the methods have been taken from Bacon, while the alignment in the march of progress is from Darwin; and it was from tho latter that came the glorious word evolution, which means, the going up and the going on. He said that these methods have produced great results of late; that mighty medical truths have been unearthed which have not yet been utilized, but will be. . Mr. F. P. Farris, president of tho society, gave a brief review of it. and. the great physician, Thomas Sydenham, after whom it is named. The society was organized twenty years ago aud had as members nearly one thousand graduates. Dr. Sydenham, called the English Hypocrates, was born in 1G24. and has the reputation of being the greatest and most successful physician of his time. The alumni address, ''Philosophy and Medicine," was delivered by Dr. A. W. Brayton, who took up three great physicians of the seventeenth century. Dr. Sydenham and Dr. Locke, who wrote on "Tho Understanding." and who were close personal friends, and Sir Thomas Browne. In concluding his remarks, the Doctor said he hoped the young doctors would keep company of such doc'ors as he had named and learn something of law and evidence as well as mediciue. "Let them," ho 6aid, "look into all knowledge and have reverence for tho things below them, around them and above them. Materialism will not do for doctors. One may be impressed with the subtle qualities of matter as he sees it, but to such aa Locke, Sydenham and Browne, matter has no tangible relation to thonght and feeling that well up in the heart and soul of man and disprove the materialistic notions that confront us on every side." The exorcises closed with the presentation of diplomas by Dr. John H. Oliver. Medical College of Indiana. Exercises attending the commencement of the Medical College of Indiana will begin at 10 o'clock this morning, in the hall of the college, the meeting of the alumni association occurring at that time. Owing to its large representation in this city and thronjhont the country, numbering about 1,000, it has become practicable to make the association one of the great medical bodies of the State. The exercises will consist of the president's address, reading of papers by members, and lectures by Professors Hodges, Dunning and Potter. The professors will present the new methods of illustrative teaching that have been successfully pursued during tbo last college year. In the evening tho graduating exercises will take place at the Grand Opera-house. Miller's orchestra will play "Stradella," Flotow; "The Medical College of Indiana," Miller, and "Lohengrin," Wagner. Misa Mamie Leathers will give a violin solo, "Kinawiak," by Wieniawski, Mrs. William E. Sharp being the piano accompanist. Mrs. Seguia Wallaco will sing "Presentation." by Homer A. Norris, and Miss Leathers will Rive a violin oblipato. Mr. Loreuz Kahn will play a cornet solo, "Fantasia." The invocation is to be by Rev. H. A. Cleveland, D. D., and addresses will be delivered by John Clark Kidpath, LL. D., on "Shadows and Lights of Modern Medicine," and Judge Byron K. Elliott, on behalf of tbe faculty. The prizes will be presented by Prof. E. F. Hodges, A. M., M. D as follows: Wears Gold Medal John Frank Gel?, for tho best thesis on anjobstetrical theme. Professor Elder Prizs Mrs. Rboda Baldwin Johnson, for va&slnp the best examinations in the principles and practice of medicine. Professor Taylor Prize Jaraes Robert Ball, for best thesi on infantile capillary. rrofeseor Oliver Prizes Senior, Lewis A. E. Storcn: Junior, Frank T. Rudy, for best examinations in anatomy. There will be about thirty-seven graduates. merchants Carnival. The Merchants Carnival, for which such elaborate preparations have been made, opens to-night at Tomlinson Hall, with a grand march by the Young Ladies' Battalion, with a military drill and dress parade. There will be fancy drills by the Lisht Infantry and Drum Corps, musio by the Indianapolis Banjo Club, and fancy bicycle riding. Tbe booths will be in chargo of young ladies in military costumes.. Events to Occur. On Wednesday evening, in the Denison House parlors. Dr. John Chambers will lecture to the Surgical Society on "Electricity." The Doctor has recently been elected a fellow of the Neurological and Electrical Association of Philadelphia. The executive committees of the several Grand Array posts having charge of Memorial-day preparations, will meet in Justice of Peace Smock's office, on North Delaware street, to-night, to appoint the sub-committees. The managers of the Home for Friendless Colored Children will meet this afternoon at the residence of Henry Fletcher, No. SoO North East street. Reorganization of the board and election of officers will occur. The closing meeting of the Plymouth travel class will bo held this evening. A series of very line views by Boughton and others will be shown. To Visit Jails. The Board of County Commissioners and and Secretary Johnson, of the Board of State Charities, will go to Columbus, O.. this week to visit the new jail there. Evansville and other points will also be visited before the commissioners settle on plans. It 1m KrrgJo& Whttsett Again. About the first of the year Mr. Chas. T. Wbitsett (formerly of Kregelo & Whitsett, of this city),sold his nndertaking business in St. Louis, and early in the present month, after two months of needed rest, purchased aone-half interest in the undertaking business of Chas. E. Kregelo, since which time the llrm is as of old-C.E. Kregelo & Whitsett. Mr. Whitsett still has business interests at St. Louis, requiring his residence thero, where his family and father and mother reside, but is here now in charge of the business during the absence of Mr. Kicgelo and family in Calif ornia.

TflE DIRECT-TAX REFUXDIX

It Is to Be Paid, Less Offct Claimed Civil War Expenses Incnrred by the State. Governor Hovey yesterday afternoon received the following telegram from Secretary of tbe Treasury Foster in response to his dispatch of Saturday.asking that official to deduct the amount of tho war-tax rej f under in dispute aud send a draft for the. balance: Afl3tant Treasurer at Chicago has been Instructed to pay draft, less $5u.OOO. which amount will ho retained in the treasury until differences are finally adjusted. The report of -William H. H. Terrill. Adjutant-general of Indiana from 18G1 to 1S(V5, during Governor Morton's administration, contains the following reference to the expenses incurred by tho State on account of the war: . The whole amount of expenses Incurred on account of tbe war by the State, is $l,1U!V24.:u Tte whole amount paid Is $l,82-,l'lW. i9, leaving unpaid and outMafidinc on Jan. 1, 1803, claims amounting to $U627U.87, al1 of which have been duly audited and eertilied by tho military auditing committee. Tho account of tho State against the United Htates for excuses incurred for war purposes to Jan. 1, lbt3, stands as follows: Total amount of expenses incurred.$l,9CD,249."G Go verninent drtf t returned to United States Treasury C3.7Q1.C0 Total $2,037,949.00 On this account the United States are entitled to tho following credits: Proceeds of $-150,000 treasury notes $432,639.30 Taid by United States Quartermaster 196.728.1G Paid on account of ammunition.... 29.s03.71 Direct tax of 18C1 . deducting 15 per cent 769.144.03 $1,678,345.20 Leaving amount due from United etates Jan. 1, 1863 ..$359,634.75 In" the account atrainst the United fitatea are included expenditures to the amount of $43,160.62, for which tho State could not claim to be reimbursed under existing: laws, but whioh are an equitable debt apainst the United States, and to cover which I have no doubt an act ot Congress will yet bo passed. "Indiana's direct war tar." said Governor Hovey, "amounted to $904,875.23. but the 15 per cent, deducted for cash payment cut the amount down to $7C9,144.04, and that sum is now due the State, without a dollar offset. 1 cannot understand why this imaginary claim of $46,000 has been pushed forward by the Treasury Department. Their own records ard books, if properly kept, should very soon demonstrate the absence of any such offset. The government has no shadow of a claim against Indiana, and the fact is tho State has legitimate claims against the United States for at least $300,000 in addition to the direct war tax. Most of this 300.000 is due Indiana for swamn lands sold by the government, and which rightfully belonged to the State." Governor Hovey and ex-Governor Gray had a long talk yesterday morning concerning swamp-land indemnities, and it is probable that this claim of an offset by the government will lead to more a-ctive steps on the part of the State in the recovery of what is due from the United States on account of swamp-land sales. NO EUSH FOR THE HONOR. The Democratic Secretary and Auditor of State Have a Hard Time Finding Volunteers. There is not a mad rush of applicants for places on tho new State Agricultural and Industrial Board, the composition of which is to be announced to-day. This surprising condition of affairs is due to two causes, first, the fact that the position is practically all glory and no remuneration to apeak of, aud, socond, tho fear of being involved in a lawsuit. Thero is bound to b$ legal trouble over the situation, and the dssire is not overpowering in any quarter to be appointed to participate in a fight with the old board, tbe members of which are determined to hold on until the very last. Several districts had no applicants for places on the board, and this has occasioned the delay in announcing the make-up of this creation of a Democratic Legislature. It is uot often that the otlice has to chaso the man, bnt in this instance it so happens, and instead of hesitating because of an embarrassment of riches the Secretary and Auditor of State are waiting for volunteers to stop np the gaps m the new board. After several weeks of hard work they hajre secured nearly enongh material of the sort prescribed by the law, but ono or two districts are yet without representation and patriots are scarce. The State officers mentioned have pretty nearly exhausted their limit of time, but the list is promised for to-day, and then tbo music will begin. The law under which the old board is operating, and which tho new act repealed, provided for an appropriation of 810,000. and it is supposed the hrst legal gun to be tired will be a suit to compel the payment of this amount, on the hypothesis that the new law is -anconstitn-tional. The fun will be fast and furious from that time on. and the State, already used to a double-headed arrangement in several ef its offices, will be treated to the spectacle of two agricultural boards administering its affairs in this line. The possibility of tbe light resulting in rival State fairs is a horrible thing to contemplate. There appears to be no end to the litigation in store for the righting boards. Governor Hovey will take no part whatever in the appointments, preferring to follow out the course he outlined from the start in rogard to the minority power kindly conferred upon him by a partisan Legislature. BASE-BALL AND POOL. Jerry Denny and Charley Dastett on Their Way to Take Places In the New York Team. Jerry Denny returned from California yesterday, and, in company with Charloy Bassett, will leave for New York this afternoon. They will be joined at Pittsburg by Jack Glasscock, who delayed leaving Wheeling until the last moment possible in order to complete the construction of a house there. Glasscock is following the wise example of Fred Danlap, whose property in Philadelphia yields him an income sufficiently large to enable him to retire altogether from the base-ball J business, which, by the way, is about the only business be could make a dollar 'at. Denny is apparently in tine condition, and Bapsett also looked lit to don a uniform and put up a good strong game at his old position. A dispatch from Cincinnati says that Manager Lof tus, in connection with John T. Brush, yesterday began the signing of contracts with players. Those who have already affixed their signatures are James Keenan. Kobert Clark, Tony Mullane aud Jerry Harrington. Tho club started last night for Hot Springs. The Iool-riayera. Elmer Long defeated Georgo Wyatr, 100 to 61, in the atternoon game of the pool tournament yesterday, his best run being 14 to Wyatt's 10. Last night Phil McGuire pocketed 100 balls to Steve Kessler'8 53, the winner's highest run being IS, and the loser's 11. This afternoon Kichard Brown and Harry Khinehart will play, while tonight's contestants will bo Charles Hettinger and Dan Sheibel. The tournament closes next Saturday. The ecore now stands as follows: TTon. Lost. Flaytd. 6heibel 2 Lo::ir 1 licliuire 3 Brown 1 Hettinger 1 Khinehart 2 Wyatt O II.

Lee was in Mittenford's saloon, when the latter picked up a revolver, supposed to be unloaded, and snapped the trigger at Lee. The weapon was discharged, the ball striking Leo in the neck, inflicting what may prove & fatal wound. Change la a Dry-Goods Firm. There was a dissolution of the dry-goods firm, the first of last December, of Murphy, Hibben & Co., as it was so long constituted by John W, Murphy, Harold B. Hibben, W.
