Wm Brown, colored, who lives on Christian avenue is wanted by the authorities for having too many wives. William it seems married a white woman some three years ago, and afterwards deserted her and mar neci a colored .woman. The white wife became indignant about the second alliance, and this week procured a warrant for Brown's arrest, and Thursday an officer attempted to arrest him, but Brown escaped. Eliza Kizer Brown is the colored wife, and Belle Garrett Brown the white one. Mrs Lsradonl Williams Resigns. The above-named lady who was recently appointed Principal of No. 23 School has declined to accept the position to which she was appointed. We know nothing of the reasons assigned by Mrs. Williams, but we are informed she has a permanent situation it iticnmond, where he has an excellent reputation as a teacher. Knowing of the unsavory record our School Board has earned by its unjust and malignant treatment, of veacners, we suppose Mrs. v Uiiams did not care to risk her prospects in the hands of such men. Sunday Sanctity. Last Sunday according to the order of the Police Board, nearly all kinds of business was entirely suspended, and the city presented a quiet village like appearance that has not been witnessed here for many a day. It has been along time since a fellow could'nt get a glass of beer in Indianapolis whenever he wanted it, but such was the case Sunday. During the week several men who violated the ordinance were brought into court and fined, but the cases were generally appealed. It is not thought the Sunday quietude will continue long. Opening of the Schools. The public schools opened last Wednesday with a fair attendance. Several changes have taken place in the disposition of the colored teachers. Mrs. Sadie V. Topp takes the principalship of No. 24, Mr. W. D. McCoy that of No. 23, and Mrs. McCarey No. 21. Miss Mamie Carter takes a position in No. 18, Miss Mary Wilson goes to No. 23, Miss Victoria Wilson to No. 19, Mr. Edwin F. Horn to No. 24, and Miss Roxie Hall to No. 23. By the above it will be seen that one of the positions at No. 19, formerly filled by a white teacher, has been given to a colored teacher. This is right.

TUB SCHOOL QUESTION.

The Colored People In Mass Meeting ion Church Denounce the Tarbell llrowu--Carey Pollcj. at A meeting of colored citizens was held Wednesday night at Zion Baptist Church, on Second street, to consider the action of the Hoard in the matter of appointment of white teachers in the colored Schools. Mr. Conrad Burley was called to the chair and Henry A. Rogan was appointed Secretary. After the Chairman had stated the object of the meeting, there was a very free expression of opinion in regard to the discrimination against colored teachers. Tarbell.Brown and Carey were criticised in the most severe terms by nearly every speaker. Only five or six persons offered to defend the action of the Board, and among these were two teachers, of whom we have had occasion to refer to elsewhere. Prominent among those who were present and took part in the meeting, on the side of justice to colored p ople and colored teachers were Hon. J. S. Hinton, W. A. Sweeney. Louis Johnson. (. W. Cheatham, Conrad Burley, Frank Hurt, Leroy Washington, William DaJe, Nathan rierce, 11. A. Kogan, Robert Turner. Jessie McCrocklin, Benj. Thornton, and others. In this meeting Hon. J. S. Hinton showed conclusively that the Board had discrimi nated against colored teachers, by referring to prominent colored teachers and graduates irom aiuerem scooois, wno had applied for positions here, but whose applications have been refused by the Board. The following resolutions were adopted as tne sense of the meeting: Resolved, 1. That the policy of the School loard in appointing white teachers in the colored schools is an uniust and wrongful discrimination a?ainst our colored men ana women, ana we therefore desire to enter our earnest protest against it. 2. 1 hat Superintendent Tarbell. in pre suming to determine the wishes of the colored people of Indianapolis by consulting u views oi uve or six men, places a very low estimate on the intelligence and good sense ot our people an estimate which we desire to inform him is incorrect. 3. That we condemn in tho strongest terms any man or set of men who presume to represent the wishes of -the colored people of this city, without consulting the wishes of said people. 4. That we demand of the Board that they employ teachers in the colored schools having the same qualifications, morally and otherwise, as those employed in the white schools. 5. That we fully and heartily indorse the course of the Indianapolis Leader in this, question, and that a copy of these resolutions be furnished the city papers for pub lication. Jamks F. Hurt, I Joux L. Evans, I Committee. W. A. Sweeney, J McCoy and Christy. During the few days past W. H. McCoy and L. E. Christy, teachers in our colored schools, have been making themselves ridiculous by attempting to vindicate Tar bell, Brown and Carey in their policy of ap pointing white teachers in colored schools V ere it not for the fact that they are the employes of the Board, their conduct under the circumstances which we shall state, would be surprising indeed. Since the first time that the Leader had cause to criticise the action of Supirin tendent Tarbell and the Committee on Appointment of Teachers, on their appointment of white teachers in colored schools, no criticism has been made on any colored teachers in our schools, but the position taken by the Leader is dirctly in the interest of colored teachers. However, the recent action of Messrs. McCoy and Christy, have evoked some severe and merited criticism fiom those colored people who have become acquainted with the facts which follows. boon alter our nrst publication of a criti cism on Tarbell, Brown and Carey's policy, Mr. W. I). McCoy came to the Leader office and congratulated us on the effort we were making in behalf ot the colored teachers, and at one occasion went so far as to bring to our office one of the school manuels in order to show wherein the Board discrim mated against the colored teachers in the matter of salaries. Mr. McCoy stated that he had found Mr. Tarbell to be a very untruthful man, and wanted but little to do with him. He also said that he had told Tarbell that what we had said was repre sentative of the views of the people. Since that time Mr. McCoy saw the principalship of No. 23 in the distance, so he suddenly flopped about and in company with Mr. tnristy, triey have now become the cham pions of the Board s policy. Taking into consideration the opinion which Tarbell, Brown and Carey entertain about these teachers, it is difficult to account for their enthusiasm and unparallelled in consistencies. Mr. McCoy's case is especially peculiar, Tarbell trai.sferred him from No. 24 to No. 19 last year, as he (Tarbell) said, on ac count of his failure in the school work, and upon his remonstratingjtold him if he didn't do better work the balance of the year, his services would no longer be needed. Ave are informed by a responsible gentleman that the Committee stated that Mr. McCoy had failed in his work, but that he would be kept one more year on trial. Members of the Committee on Teachers have stated to several gentlemen that the reason Mr. Christy was not appointed principal ot iso. 24, was because he did not do good work last year in No. 18. Taking into consideration these charges of memciency, as preferred against these two teachers by the Superintendent and Com. mittee, together with the statement of Dr, Carey that the moral standard of the color ed teachers is much lower than that of the white teachers, the devotion of Messrs. McCoy and Christy to Tarbell, Brown and Caroy 13 without parallel. Here we have another case in which Tarbell and his Committee appear in rather a bad light as managers of our schools. Last year they decided mat Mcuoy was a failure as a teacher of one of the lower grades in No.24, but since McCoy has espoused their cause, they placed him at the head of No. 23, to teach a more advanced grade than that in which he failed last year. There seems to have been a bargain here, but the eyes of 1. 1- A. 3 J? luö peupie are not ciosea. vccoraing 10 Tarbell, Brown and Carey neither one of these men should be employed as teachers. Lincoln Ilated Slavery! From the time he arrived at the years of dis cretion, and he abolished it equally upon conscientious and constitutional principles. He rose from the meshes of prejudice and hereditary wrong to the "championship of Union and freedom," and when he spoko to the countrv as one "where every man has the right to be the equal of every other man," he truly defined that famous declaration which up to that time had been a cheat and a mockery. surprise Party. On Thursday night, September 8th, about the hour of 11 o'clock, Rev. R. Titus and family was awakened by the sweet voice of many friends, who filed in big room, and to his surp'ise, however, soon discovered that he had met with a surprise, one that would be long to be remembered. The house was literally packed with the)

ever-welcome intruders, and the evening was given to song and jollity. Yes, each vied the otier in demonstration of pleasure and gayety. The table was filled with donations of every conceivable description. Dry goods, notions, silver coin, etc., suffered profusely in the entertainment; at the juncture an appropriate song was sung to the enlivened multitude, after which Mrs. Jennie Blackwell, in the behalf of the donors, in a well-timed speech presented the offerings of the occasion. The Elder was completely overcome, but after regaining selfjw session responled in his usualapprproiate style.

TROUBLE IN TUE SECOND CHURCH. BAPTIST About One Hundred and Fifty Members Withdraw and Organize Another Church. The trouble which has been existing for some timo in the Second Baptist Church between the pastor and members terminated last Friday night in a split in the church. About 150 members withdrew iroru the church and have organized another body. The pastor, Rev. Moses Broyles, was charged with arbitrary church government, with unlawful disposition of church moneys and other acts unbecoming a Christian minister. The opposition claim that they were refused a hearing , and despairing of being able to bring the matter to a satisfactory ending, they withdrew in a body, and, reparing to No. 21 Scheol House on New York street, perfected a new church organization. It is claimed by the seceders that they represent the financial element of the church, and considering the fact that the church is over $7,000 in debt, it leaves it in a pretty bad fix. The services of the new organization held in Masonic Hall last Sabbath were well attended. They are in corsespondence with two or three ministers and hope soon to be able to secure a suitable leader. For the present they hold services in the church at the corner of Spring and North streets. Masonic tirand Lodge. Take notice throughout the entire jurisdiction that Most Worshipful Independent Union Grand Lodge for the State of Indiana and jurisdiction, will convene in the city of Indianapolis on the second Tuesday of September, at high 12.

T., in display drill. Our Colored Teachers Intuited by a Member of the School Board. In a public meeting last Wednesday evening a gentleman stated that Dr. Carey.a member of the committee on teachers and salaries, made the assertion that the morals of the colored teachers wire not as good as those of white teachers. How much longer is that man to be allowed to occupy the position he now holds, and with impunity fling insult after insult in the faces of the colored people of this city. But alter considering the reputation of the man to whom he runs for all his information concerning the colored people.and in whom he is wrapped up more closely than were ever Damon and Pythias, his conduct is not inconsistent. But a day of reckoning is coming. PERSONAL. "What has become of Master Philp Miller? Mrs. William Quinn has returned from her trip East. Rev. Ilutcheson of Noblesville was in the city this week. Mr. "William Elliott visited Xenia, Ohio, last Friday evening. Rev. W. C. Trevan has been transferred to the Illinois Conference.

Miss Mary E. Carter, and the Misses Mary E. and Victoria Wilson, arrived in the City this week, much refreshed by their sum. mer vacation, and ready for another year s struggle witn tne young idea. Mr. Solomon Day, Principal of thi col ored schools at Dayton, Ohio, was in ?u n t few days ago and gave the Leader lfk-o a call. Mr. Day figures very promim-..i.iv in unio pontics, ana as a speaker has !ew su periors. Mr. Benj. Thornton, is of the opinion that a man who runs a barber shop exclusively for white persons, and refuses to accomodate colored men, should keep quiet and not be constantly clamoring for leadership among the colored people and claiming to be a champion of their right. Mr. Thornton is correct in opinion. T. R. Crisup, Esq., a prominent colored lawyer, of the city of Detroit, Mich., and an old friend and acquaintance of W. Allison Sweeney, of this city, has this to say of the latter gentleman's future intentions. "I am E leased to notice that your expectations of ecoming a brother at law, will soon be realized, for mv oninion of vour abilitr in . J g y .

Further on he says: "J expect wht n I meet you again you will nave become a staid old, reverential gentleman, with neither time nor desire to remember the pleasures of Auld Iang Syne. "

A PHENOMENA.

Boston Loses Her Equilibrium and Witnesses a Grand Transformation. Boston. Sept. G. From early morning to sunset the air has been in the most curious condition, exciting much comment, and in some instances creating alarm, while the air, as viewed from the window or looking up into the sky, has apieared to be free from fog or moist. The sun has been totally obscured. The atmosphere is pervaded with a yellowish light, which lends a strange appearance to every object. On the Common grass presents a most unnatural appearance, its livid green looking as though it were a coat of paint. Gas jets, which ordinarily show a yellowish light, burn with white brilliancy. It makes them resemble electric lights. In all directions distances appeared .to be shortened, and through windows and as far as could be seen were star-like points of white light, resembling little electric lamps, but being in reality gas itts. The phenomena is noticeable In New Hampshire and far east of Portland. C. F. Emerson, Professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy of Dartmouth College, says it must be something in the atmosphere which absorbs shorter and long wave lengths, leaving only those which give the colors of yellow and green, lie thinks it may be owing to the pollen from fir and pine trees together with the smoke from the forest tires in Canada. PROVIDENCE EFFECTED. Providence, R. I., Sept. 0. The day has been excessively dark here, accompanied with great sultriness. The day's consumption of gas commenced at noon, and failed at about 3 o'clock, compelling ollices and factories either to close work or resort to candles. The failure of the gas lasted about a half hour and was due to a temtorary disarrangement. Never in Town Before. Wednesday eveningshortly before 7 o'clock a woman "who gave her name as Mary Bush was found wandering helplessly about on North Ilinois street. She complained that she was lost and wanted to hnd Mrs. Sm?th s millinery store. She could not give the slightest idea as to where it was located, ami all that she could tell was that theore had hats in the window, and Mr. Smith lived up stairs. It was iuite evident that she was a stranger to lite in the city, and Officers Jester and Steninions took her in charge. They visited almost every millinery store in the city, but failed to hnd the one kept bv Mrs. Smith. As a last resort the woman was olaced in the Station House over night, where she seemed well contented. She said that she came here on Tuesday evening from a remote county 111 Illinois and had never been in town before. She went out last night to take some dishes to a neighboring restau rant and became lost ; the dishes were still in her possession when she was found. The friends of the unfortunate woman can re lieve her of her woes by calling at the Con tral Station. The Seminary Boys Reunion. "The Seminary bovs" cordially invite the surviving relatives of the Trustees, teachers and pupils connected with the Sem inary from 1831 to 18.33 to be present at their fourth reunion basket dinner and games at the Exposition grounds,' on Wed nesday, the 14th day of this month. Rev. James S. Kemper, Wm. Sullivan, and perhaps others of the old teachers, will again be with us, and lead their "boys" as in the lolddavs. The teachers and tuiila conI l a a 1 at . nected witn ansa Axteu s scnooi during its existence here have been made honorary members of the Association, and are hereby invited to attend all reunions, with their families. The usual programme will be followed from 9 o'clock a. m and the ladies will set a basket dinner for all present, bring you r baskets. Come, and Drowned in the Canal. William Oswald, a son of Theodore Os wald, groceryman at the corner of Elm and North streets, while bathing in the canal at the corner of St. Clair with a number of young companions at 1 o'clock Tuesday af ternoon, got beyond his deptn, and being unable to swim, was drowned, lie called lor help several times, but no one being in the vicinity who was able to grapple with the drowning boy, he sank and was not taken from, the water until half an hour afterward. He was thirteen years old, and was a irornising boy. Marshal Maddox, of Shelbyville, Ky., nr rived in the city last night for Henry Todd, who was arrested on Monday night by Otöcers Saulcy and McKinney. Todd is wanted in Kentucky for stealing a gold watch and chain, and will be taken back as soon as the wounds he received while being arrested have healed. Attempted Robbery. About 2 o'clock Tuesday morning Mrs. Brown, who resides at the corner of Virginia avenue and Maryland street, was awakened by someone being in her room. She arose from the bed, and was in the act of giving the alarm when a man seized her by the throat, and, while choking her, demanded her mones'. She managed to free herself from the robber's grip and get on to the street, when she gave the alarm. Ollicers Rooney and Garber were soon on the street, but the robber had escaped. The State Fair. The officers of the State Board of Agriculture are as busy as bees preparing for the forthcoming State Fair. The premiums are larger than ever before, and there promises to be a large increase in entries. A large number of blooded horses will be here, and the trotting will be better than ever before known at the Fair. The woman's department will also present many new and striking attractions. Cutting Affray. Tuesday evening Thomas Parker and Frederick Ihinan were arrested by Constable James Marshall for an assault and battery on William Stern. The dilHculty occurred in the northwestern portion of the city, and was about a trivial matter, the men who did it being under the influence of liquor. Young Stern was quite severely cut about the head and neck. Marshal Maddox, of Shelbyville, Ky., Wednesday night left for Louisville, liaving in custody Henry Todd, the colored man who was arrested on Monday night by Officers Saulcy and McKinney after a desperate encounter. Todd was accompanied by his wite. ENGLISH'S OPERA HOUSE. WILL E. ENGLISH, Proprietor and Manager Grand opening of the second regular season.
