Tho Esber-Dubs EvangelicaVfight, which has been in the courts in various parts of tbe country for the past two years, was yesterday morning, decided by Judge Shep&rd ot the Circuit Court at Chicago. The two factions are disputing ownership over property worth 1,000,0C0. According to the views of the court a decree will be entered huding that the conference held in this city last October and presided over by Bishops Esher and Cowman was the lawful one and that they have committed no acts which would takeaway their Tights. The suit which brought the legality of the conference in question was that ot Rev. George Husser. an Ksherite preacher, gainst Kev. (Jeorge bchweicker, a Dnbs appointee, for possession of tlo Noblestreet Church in Chicago. The ground on which the Judge bases his decision sustaining tbe legality of the Indianapolis, or Kscher conference, as against the Philadelphia, or Dobs confeience, is that tbe former was appointed under an action of of tbe lSullalo conference ct 17, at which Dubs was present and a consenting party. That conference delegated the dnty of nxing the place on the board of publication, which named Indianapolis, the rhlladelphia Conference claiming to he the oldest annual conference, and by reason thereof entitled to name the place tinder the power conferred upon it by the Discipline. The court held that this power tras merely alternative, however, and that the action of the liaiiaJj conference in conferring the power u'on the board of publication to fix ihe place was legal, and ita selection was the Jcgal place of meeting of the conference. As & consequence the clerical appoin o! cbo lulianapolis conference were the legal pastors of the several churches to which they were appointed, and Husser, the Usher appointee, was entitled to have the Duls appointee coated. wmmmm mammm, C7JUCK desks aJ Win, Elder

TIIE CLANS ARE GATHERING

republicans of Indiana WiU Hold a Conference at the Denison To-Day. First Meeting of the State Committee Asplrants Mentioned for Office Democrats Change Their Contention Date. Indianapolis will hold a large number of prominent Republicans to-day. In answer to a general invitation issued through the press by Chairman Gowdy, a Republican conference will gather at the Denison House at 1 o'clock to bold the usual lovefeast and discussion for tho good of the party that precedes an important State committee meeting. As soon as this conference adjourns the new State committee will meet for organization. This is, however, practically a foregone conolnsion, so far as surface indications go. Mr. Gowdy, as chairman, and Mr. Millikan, as secretary, have done such excellent work throughout the State daring the past year that they were indorsed by the district conventions, and no other names are suggested. They have studiously avoided taking sides in any difference of opinion as to candidates for either State or national offices, devoting themselves to the party as a whole. During last evening four members of the committee arrived in the city: Nicholas Filbeck. of the Eighth district; Harry C. lianna, ot the Twelfth; F. C. liilbeimer. of the Second, and 8. K. Carter, of the Third. A Ion ? with them came Joseph I. Irwin, of Columbus, E. II. Tripp, of North Vernon, and a number of other prominent Republicans, who will attend to-day's conference. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES. The confident hope the Indiana Republicans have of carrying the State next fall in their light against heavy taxation and Democratio extravagance is bringing to the front hundreds of friends with various men for State offices. A week ago the Journal published a list of prominent Republicans whose names have frequently been mentioned as possible candidates for Governor. Since then a number of aspirants for other offices have turned np in various parts of the State, aDd, there can be no doubt that the convention will have an abundance of excellent material to choose from. For Treasurer of State. F. J. Scboltz, of Evansville, and Lee W. Sinclair, of Salem, are in the Held. Roth are well-known business men of tbe highest integrity, and each has a large following of friends. For Auditor, CoL I. N. Walker, of this eity, who was on the ticket inlbUO, is prominently mentioned, and is conceded to be a strong man. It is probable that he will come before the convention. He has a firstclass competitor in tbe person of J. L. McAdams. of Portland, who is very popular in his district. John W. Lovett, one of tho best known lawyers in tbe Seventh district, residing at Anderson, is spoken of for Atttorney-geh-eral, and so is ex-Representative James T. Johnston, of Farke county. Mr. Johnston is also mentioned in connection with the governorship. Judge John D. Miller, of Greensbnrg, and Judge J. L. McBride, of Elkhart, both ot whom are on tbe Supreme Bench by Governor Hovey's appointment, will, it is believed, be candidates for the vacancies on the bench, while Judge J. B. Black, now of the Appellate Court, is mentioned for the Supreme Court. Tbe terms of all the members of the Appellate Court expire this fear, but the list of aspirants is not f ulL t is said, however, that Judges Robinson and Crumpacker will come before the convention for nomination to the places they have held so well Democratic Committee. The Democratio State central committee slipped into town end met quietly yesterday morning at its tepee in the Union Building. All of Taggart's braves were there and smoking tbe pipe of peace. The primary object of the meeting was for the purpose of changing the time of holding tho convention, tho Journal having discovered that the 14th of April came on the anniversary of the assassination of President Lincoln. The date was fixed for one week later, on April 21. Unless it is discovered later on that that. too. is a sacred day in history, the clans of Democracy will hold their reservation pow-wow on that day. Mr. Taagart took this occasion to name his executive committee, which is as follows: S. E. Morsa, Indianapolis; August Kiefer, Indianapolis; Charles Stewart. Lafayette; James Murdoch, Lafayette; Charles L. Jewett. New Albany; James II. Rioe, Indiana; Henry C. Berghotf. Ft. Wayne; J. L. Keach, Indianapolis; George Geiger, Indianapolis; Anthony Stevenson, Rockport; John E. Lamb, Terre Haute. Joseph L. Riley was retained as secretary. "Ve made the change," said Chairman Taggart to a Journal reporter, "in answer to a general request from Democrats from over thevState." "Was the anniversary of Lincoln's assassination the moving cause!" was asked. "Well, it was done in deference to a general demand from Democrats, and we didn't want to interfere with their " Celebration of the eYentP . "Well, no; not that." Mr. Taggart made another appointment yesterday. John P.. Frenzel. for eight years treasurer of the Democratic State committee, holds that high honor no more. John R. Wilson, clerk of Marion county, has supplanted him. It will be remembered that when the committee met for organization the question of shelving Frenzel raised a very pretty row among the brethren. Morss was for him, but all of tbe committeemen from the rural districts were "agin" him. and it was left for Taggart to find a way out of the hole and appoint a man. This smooth politician has succeeded in patching the .matter np, .but ouly uponthe understanding that all money the committee gets its hands on shall bo deposited in the Merchants' National Bank. TIIE CHINESE NEW YEAR. Row It Is to Be Celebrated by the Local Pagan Orientals The Reception at Jlr. Denny's. To-morrow, Friday, is the New Year for the Chinese, and the Mongols of this city are preparing to celebrate it at the borne or laundry of some one of their number. Just where, a Journal reporter, after visits to several laundries, was unable last night to find oat. Hop Sing, on Illinois street, was polite, but said he did not know anything. He professed ignorance of the number of years in the Chinese calendar, and the poor fellow can hardly be blamed for that The sharpest acumen of tbe superior Caucasian mind cannot discover just when the Chinese reckoning began. Hop Ling referred the reporter to E. Lung, on Massachusetts aveuue. Mr. Lung was not in a cheerful framo of mind, and refused to give any information whatever. After repeated questions E. Lung gronchily said! something like "go' in a tone that indicated a hopeless task to get the desired information, if not a contlict, and tbe reporter went. K. Lung is a wrinkled, crusty old heathen, who can't read English, lie said he couldn't. Ho also said he didn't know what a newspaper is. If he knew where that feast is to be held, he didn't waut anybody tbere to comment on the etiquette practiced in eating rat soup with chop sticks. From other sources the reporter learned that the Chinese calendar began with the sixtieth year of Hwang Ti. in 2ti"7 B. C. This is. of course, conventional, as there were Chinese centuries before this. The Chinese assert a claim tc an antiquity of from eiutbty thousand to 110,010 years. Their time is not measured in centuries, but in sexagenaries, or sixties. The new year begins with the last Friday in January. New Year's day is the one universal holiday among the Chinese, and its celebration is accompanied with every manifestation of joy and festivity. The celebration lasts for three days. In China the shops are all closed, the people don their best clothes, and what time is not spnt at gambling, eating or firing shooting-crackers, is given to tho peculiar forms of gambling. The rxouo and

glare of fire-works is indispensable to the proper observance of the day. The goTsrnxnent offices remain closed fori a month. In this country.in the absenceof temples, arude altar is erected in the laundry, and there sacrifices of fruits, nnta and aome oriental eatables imported from borne are oflered. During this time the Mongols do not like to be disturbed, and give a very chilly welcome to alien visitors. The time is spent in gambling and eating. It is probable there is some laxity in the observance among the Mongols when away from home. Hod Sing was asked last night if he intends going to the New Year's supper. "No,T' said he, in fair accent, "de boy he all go. Metoobnsy. Can't getteawashee out. Have to work." The converted Chinamen in the Second Presbyterian Church will be entertained to-morrow night at tbe home of Caleb 8. Denny, on North Meridian street. Mr. and Mrs. Pang Yim have been invited to be present. TO TESTIFY AS TO JUDGE WOODS.

The Charges Preferred by Yoorhees Relate to the Coy and Dndley Cases. Processes were issued yesterday from the Sergeant-at-arms of tho United States Senate summoning Judge Claypool, Leon Bailey, Noble C. Butler, William Nichols, James H. Rice. Eli F. Ritter and E. B. Sellers to appear to-morrow before the Senate committee on judiciary to testify in the investigation of the charges made against Judge W. A. Woods in connection with his nomination to the United States Circuit Court. Noble C. Butler is commanded to bring the court records in the Sim Coy and Dudley cases. Efforts will be made, it is said, by Senator Voorbees to prove by these witnesses certain charges against Judge Woods's action in these cases. .It is expected that the investigation will not extend over two or three days. The charges against Judge Woods relate solely to the Coy and Dudley cases. Leon O. Bailey and James II. Rice left yesterday and the others last evening in order to obey the summons. AT THE THEATERS. To-night, at the Grand, will be seen for the first time in Indianapolis, Bill Nye's comedy, "The Cadi," about which there has been so much talk. It is said to be entirely novel in its way and it has bad a successful career in New York and other cities. Miss Jennie Goldthwait, of this city, R. J. Dustan, William Mack, Miss Frances Gaunt, Lizzie Hudson Collier, Maggie Deane and others are in the cast. There is much curiosity manifested as to the play. The Boston Howard Atheneum Star Specialty Company, the best organization of its class, will play at English's to-night and the rest of the week. The stars are Ena Bertoldi, the European equilibrist, whose act is . a sensation, and Kara, the Belgian juggler, and thero are, besides these, a number of the best specialty performers in this country. This company plays to first-class audiences only. Harry Webber's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Company will play at the Park to-day and tho remainder of the week, with Carrie Webber as Topsy and Charles Jdanley (of the late lamented "Lincoln" company) as Uncle Tom. Margaret Mather's repertory for the first three nights of February, at the Grand Opera-house, is arranged as follows: Monday, "Tbe Honeymoon;" Tuesday, double comedy bill of "Nance Oldliold" and "The Love Chase;" Wednesday matinee, "Leah, the Forsaken;" final appearance Wednesday night, "Lady of Lyons." . Seats will be on sale for her engagement to-morrow. Prof. G. E. Bailey, of the State University of Nebraska, will give the fifth lecture in tho course at Plymouth Church to-morrow evening. His theme. "Through Central America," will be of general interest at this time. Professor Bailey comes with tbe best of recommendations as a scholar and speaker. Made Nickels Oat or Ballets. Sam Wallace, a little Lafayette boy, who fancied that the United States mint was not turning out money fast enough for him, proceeded to ope rate a coin foundry on his own hook. Ho procured a number of lead bullets and pounded them out flat to the thickness of a bona fide nickel. Then he laid a genuine 'nickel on these leaded decoys and in less time that it takes to toll it he had made a pocketful of bogus ones. He fancied that he would clean out a red figure sale the next day, but bis first attempt to pass the counterfeits was his last. He worked oif four of them on a hot Wienerwurst man, who, owing to a previous, an entirely too previous, conviviality with the cups, took them without a murmur. When he sobered np, however, he succeeded in locating his man and he is now in the hands of the federal authorities. Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses were yesterday issued to Harden T. Workman and Mary L. Williams, Havier Wolf and Anna B. Rnrastetler, Schuyler C. Haughey and Gertrude A. Chafee, Henry Braitfield and E. Luella Cole, Harlan A. Weer and Allle Marshal, John D. Rafert and Rosa Stocky, Harry E. Travis and Florence Johnson, Edward Daner and Mary O'Ronrke, Augustus Lipferd and Celia Roesch, Bertram B. Adams and Thusnelda T. Haueisen. To Observe the Weather. The chief of tho Signal Service Bureau here, Mr. Wappenhans, met President Bogge, of the State Board of Agriculture, yesterday, and asked him if tho board would be willing to donate enough of its ground for a meteorological building. This was suggested by the Agricultural Department at Washington. President Boggs said the bureau could have the land if the government would erect the building. - m m Gone to View a Kace-Track. President Boggs and members Maze, Sankey, Officer and Peed, and Secretary Bogley, of tbe State Board of Agriculture, left yesterday afternoon for Columbus, O., to visit the fair grounds there with a view to getting ideas from them for the building of the new State fair grounds. They will return to this city to-morrow morning and then will leave on a tour of half a dozen other cities on the same mission. It Is Badly Needed. Councilman Linn will in a short time introduce an ordinance providing for a different system of house-numbering. For instance, all houses are numbered north and south from Washington street and east and west from Meridian. If a north-and-south street begins at Vermont, Mr. Linn thinks the first house should be numbered 200 and so on. This system is in use in most cities. Followed a Different Method. The Board of Public Works yesterday canceled the contract awarded to Wheeler & Ingerraan for the improvement of Columbia avenue from Seventh to Tenth street, and awarded it to the next lowest bidders, Fnlmer &, Seibert, at $1.42 a foot. Wheeler A In germ an refused to sign tho contract and do the work. Why did the board not readverti6eT m -On a Grave Charge. Berry Rogers was arrested yesterday on a paternity charge, aworn out in Justice Alford's court by Lizzie Dixon, his sister-in-law. She afterward changed the form of the charge, and had him arrested for criminal assault. The first case was then dismissed. The complaining witness is about eighteen years of age, and lived with her sister at No. 33 Helen street Caught froiA a Defective Flue. A defective flue set fire to house No. 71 West Vermont street last evening, and occasioned a loss of ?500. The house was occupied by Ira Clark, but is owned by R. P. Daggett. The loss is covered by Insurance. JJunlttp't VeUbratett Hats, Tbe best bats made. Seaton's Hat Store, 2? North Pennsylvania streei.

WAS THE PUGILIST HIRED?

William Shaw Assaulted on the Levee at Nood, Yeslerday, bj JoeFoppiano; The Rot Started in a Quarrel Between Shaw and t'BillyM Tron, a Rival Tool-Seller with a Rotust Official "Pall." William Shaw, the defeated pool-seller, and Joseph Foppiano, a local pugilist, were arrested yesterday afternoon by patrolman Giblin for assault and battery on each other. Shaw is also charged with drawing a deadly weapon." The fight occurred on Illinois street, yesterday, after dinner, in front of Jay & Tron's saloon. It is said that Foppiano was the aggressor, ana was looking for Shaw for the purpose of fighting him. The cause of the trouble originates in the rivalry of Tron, a "levee" gaming-house-keeper, with Payne & Co.'a pool-room, of whicti Shaw was manager. It is well known that Tron contributed 500 to the last Democratio city campaign fund, and tbe only consideration possible was an assurance that he would not be seriously interfered with in running Lis unlawful business. He was running a pool-room when Payne & Co. started theirs, but in order to drive out opposition he closed his own and used his "pull" on the Democratio superintendent of police to have Payne & Co. closed. Ho could well aflord to devote his rooms to poker for several months until tbe rival concern should be driven out of town. It was tbe arrest and trial of Shaw, in thia connection', that led to the assanlt. Shaw was found guilty and was fined $300 Tuesday afternoon. Tron and Shaw chanced to meet in the Jnne restaurant and saloon, on the evening of the verdict, and Shaw was not in a pacifio mood. Somebody remarked that when Payne & Co. are driven out of the city Tron will be found doing tho same business at the old stand. A heated coliony ensued between the two men, in which haw is said to have used every form of language available- to provoke Tron to make an assault. The latter said nothing, and finally walked away. What understanding he may have come to afterward with Foppiano will probably never be known, bnt in the assault between the latter and Shaw, Foppiano figures as Tron's champion. Shaw was walking along the levee with ex-Sergt. MAkMnnpw whnn the aasanlt beffan. When the crowd became so large as to make tho appearance of the officers certain, both Shaw and Foppiano escaped, for the time being, by hurrying away. Shaw says ho is determined Tron shall not reopen his rooms, and it is thought the last of the campaign conspiracy has not yet been betrd of. It appears that Foppiano was strnck on tbe head with a cane, resulting in a long, deep scalp wound and the loss of much blood. He fled precipitately from the conflict, through a barbershop, into the gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A., where his wounds were wasbed and dressed. lllis Stevens's Recital. Miss Neally Stevens, one of the most accomplished pianists in the West, and a favorite all over the country, gave a delightful recital last night, at the School of Music, before a cultivated and appreciative audience of musicians. Added to Miss Stevens's playing is the pleasure of her personality, which is most attractive. The programme last evening was admirable in selection, containing, as it did, classic compositions of both the old and modern masters. The first number was Taccata and Fugue," by Bach, arranged by Tansig. A'Fantasie." of Mozart, followed by Chopin, Beethoven. Schurmann, Moszkowski, Krceger, Liszt and Arthur Foote. Miss Slovens has had many compositions dedicated to her by the composers, and these she renders with particular brilliancy. In whatever style Mies Stevens's selection may be it receives an able interpretation and execution. Having layed here several times, and also having een heard here before the music teachers' conventions, her many excellencies as a pianist are well known. The audience last night testified to their appreciation by hearty and continued applause. National Chrysanthemum Show. William M. Bertermann, florist, arrived home yesterday from Chicago, where he was attending a meeting of the National Florists' Association. He reports that it was decided to hold a national chrysanthemum show in Chicago, from Nov. 8 to 18, in the dome of the Horticultural HalL This has a diameter of four hundred feet, and is very high. It is proposed to build a minature mountain in the center eighty feet high, the inside to be a cavern, with running water and electrio lights. The display of chrysanthemums will be made about the base of the mountain. The new officers of the association are M. A. Hunt president, and T. T. Grant, Chicago, secretary. In consideration of tbe time and magnitude of the national exhibit, the Indiana State chrysanthemum show will be omitted this year. - Opposed to raying the mil. Mr. R. W. Lowry yesterday presented a hill to tbe Beard of Pnblic Works on behalf of the Journal Job Printing Company, amounting to $412.72. This debt was contracted by the city in 1S84. Mr. Lowry wanted the board to appoint an expert to examine the account, but it will not be done. The board is opposed to paying the bilL , Hast Go to Kentucky. Bennie Pride and Ola Spencer were about to get a marriage license yesterday, when it was discovered that they aro first cousins, and the license was refused. The first inquiry of tho disappointed lovers was, "What State permits tho marriage of cousins!" Shaler and Long Acqaltted. Louis Shaler and Albert Long, who were arrested in connection with the burglary of the When store, for which John Ferriter was sentenced to five years' imprisonment, were yesterday acquitted by JndgeCox of tho charges on which they were mdioted. Building Ordinance Defective. A meeting of the city officials will be held soon to prepare some needed amendments to the building ordinance. Build ing Inspector Fitchey says its present scope is not large enough, tie wants authority to order changes in buildings already np. Will Discuss Annual Reports. The Mayor and his illnstrioua cabinet will hold the regular monthly meeting this evening. A discussion of the annual re ports of the various departments will be tbe leading topic. Robbed of IIU Watch. William Keever, of No. 105 North Alabama street, reported to the detectives that he had been robbed of his watch and $10. He accuses his room-mate of stealing the property. No Street-Car Decision Yet Owing to the fact that Bishop Chatard was unexpectedly called out of the city yesterday the board of arbitrators adjourned until next Saturday. 9 City News Notes.

What Was Shown hj Reports Presented at the Annual Sleeting of the nutuaJ Reserve Fond Life Association. Fpeclal to the In&lan&polls Journal. New York. Jan. 27. The eleventh annual meeting of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association was held here to-day. It was of a thoroughly representative character, embracing gentlemen from nearly every State of tbe Union in which tbe company does business, Canada and foreign conntries. President E. B. Harper made an address, which was frequently and heartily applauded. In it he gave a clear synopsis of the chief features of the report of the treasurer, John W. Vrooman (which was subsequently submitted to the meeting in detail), and tbe striking features of which are as follows: "The amount of business in force upon the hooks of tbe Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association at the expiration of the eleventh yearexceed the total business, for tbesame period of time, of tbe three greatest life insurance companies of the United States combined. The gross assets were S 4, 343,202. being nearly half a million over 1800. During tbe history of the association," said President .Harper, "not a dollar has been lost in either principal or Interest upon any of its loans, which are on the strongest foundation and yielding good interest. During lWL a serious year in the death rate, nearly $2.O0,000 have been paid in death claims; (12.0CO.00O have been paid since the foundation of the company, being an average of over $1,000,000 yearly. Against each $1,000 of ontstanding death claims in course of approval, there is a reserve of $6,000." Hon. A. L. Carrey, Commissioner of Life Insurance of North Dakota, made an examination of the company's affairs early in the summer, and closed his report as follows: "I am so well satisfied with the honesty and ability of tbe management and excellent financial condition of tbe association that I shall be pleased to recommend the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association to the citizens of the State of North Dakota." A vote of thanks was passed unanimously to the president and principal officers of tbe Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, and there were general congratulations on the highly satifactory reports.
