Star acknowledges the reception of two of his handsome calling cards. Miss lieu Iah Wright made her last evening at the Golden Rule Vulture. debutante banquet. e would suggest that the writer of the above paragraph look up a little on Iiis rrench before attempting to use a word from that language. The three words, "debut," 'debutant" and "debutante," have become mixed in Vulture's extensive vocabulary, and he has only a vague idea ot the mean 'Al t' .1 T- 1 1 . ing oi eitner oi incm. ror nis oenent we give Webster's Jefinitioas of their meaning, ana advise him to cut them out and paste them in his hat tor luture reference.

The above extracts clearly show Vulture's mistake. "Debut" was the word he should have used, but as debutante is a larger word, and Vulture has a weakness for large words, he thought it would answer just as well. When we think that a bright and shining light of the Senior class of our High Schcd could have been guilty of making such a gross mistake, we almost involuntari ly exclaim " hy can such things be, and overcome tu like a summer cloud!"

C, occirred rnuay evening oi last week at Masonic Hall, and to say that it wan all that was exiH.'Cted would fall far short of giving a cot . rect idea of the magnificence of the entertain ment. The members of the club, particularly the committee of arrangmenta have been working hard for the last month to make of this entertainment the grandest ever given by the colored citizens of Indianaiolis, and how well they succeeded is known and attest ed to by those who participated. The guests began arriving about 6 o'clock and hv 10 the spacious hall contained an assemblage of "fair women, and brave men" which in point of elegance was more than was looked lor, all that could be wished, Count ilfaut. At 10 o'clock, the band nlavinar a march the gents with their ladies promenaded

around the hall and were then seated at the supper table. The repast being concluded, President Roberts delivered a brief but pointJ f 1 r 1 I if r .1 i I

eu auuress oi welcome in oenau oi the Uluu, announced the toasts which received short and appropriate responses. The annual address was delivered by Mr. Henry Moore, in which he congratulated the members of the Club, that so many of those who were present at the last annual Banquet were jermitted to again assemble together, and hoped that in the future as in the past, each member of tlie Club would work for the good of of the same, ever striving for its puritv and perpetuation. The toast, The Golden" Rule Club" was responded to by Mr. E. E. Outland, during which he gave a brief history of the Club, stating its beneficial results, de scribing its past, portraying its present and forecasting its future. ""Indianapolis" was responded to by Hon. J. S. Hinton. In tlie course of His remarks, he spoke of Indianapolis when he first became a resident of it-20 5'ears ago, spoke of the Indianapolis of today noting the ci lianges that had taken place in the interim; compared the josition occupied by the colored citizens of today, with that occupied by them 25 years ago, " and prophesyed that our hoosier capital would yet be one of the first cities ot the Union." "The Prists" was responded to by Mr. Ben D. Bagby, of the leader, who very brielly described its growth the advantages" accruing from it, the part it had taken in civilizing and humanizing the world, and the iKisition it might be exacted to take in all progressive movemnts. "Our absent friends" was responded to by Mr. Jas. II. Thomas, who in a very feeling manner refered to the absent ouls and hoped that wherever they roamed the angel of happiness might be hovering closJly about them. "The Church" was responded to by Elder Manson of the Blackford street Gmrh. His address was lengthy and interesting, reviewing the workings of the church from its inception to the present time. The toasts disposed of, the tables cleared away, the band struck up a lively air and the merry throng glided away in the giddy mazes of the Maitz, which continued til late in the morning. The elegant costumes worn by the ladies was the subject of mnch comment by the gentlemen. They were indeed superb, and did time and space permit, we would take pleasure in describing some of them. We will however leave this to the imagination of our readers. The Club will hold its next meeting the last Monday in next OctoIxt. Exit the old, Enter tlie Nmv. IIov the old year -was Kent out. Mild tin- now ittüli;il In. The time honored custom of "praying" the old year out, was pretty generally observed in the various churches of the city, and when the bells rung out the tidings that the eventful year of 18S1 was numbered with the past, thousands rose from bended kn-jes and sent up glad shouts and loud praise, tokens of thankfulness that thev had been spared to see the dawn of another vear. The first day of the year being Sunday, the regular New Year's dav festivities did not ocM r j . i . . i i cur um iuonaay. ana on mat uav business of all kinds was suspended and "everybody gave themselves up to enjovmcnt. Manv of "l. i j i i.i .1 .. ue iaiues remenioereu mat me gentlemen expected to call and pav their respocts, and they in return prepared to receive them in a hospitable manner. The ladies of the L'oval Club of the East received at the residence" of Mr. Jackson, 71 Gregg street. The parlors were very tastefully arranged, and the guests upon entering were introduced and then escorted to the dining room where a table loaded with "good cheer" was found waiting. The ladies of the club received a great many calls as was indicated bv their can! basket. At Mrs.' Hints', 441 N. Illinois St., a grand levee was maintained during the whole of the afternoon. The ladies were in the best of humor and every caller was made at his ease by the courteous manner in which the ladies received, and the kind attention bestowed on the guests. After the calling hour. 10 o'clock quite a number of young people assembled at Mrs. Hi lies' and enjoyed a social dance the remainder of the evening. At Mrs. Carter's, 41 N. Ills, street the ladies had made extensive preparations to receive, and it seemed a favorite resort for the young gentlemen. The table was replete with tempting viands, and a heart v welcome was bestowed on all who called. At Miss Lillie Smith's, 40S AVest North street the same scene presented itself as at other places. Tne ladies were handsomely attired, the lunch was excellent, the wines rich and a hearty "Happy New Year's" extended to all. At Mrs. Ilerron's. 3Ö8 Douglass St. an elegant repast was set and about 100 callers partook. In the evening the grand center of attraction seem ed to be the Vermont St. Church. The church had been gaily decorated and arranged in different parlors for the occasion; each parlor being presided over by a bevy of beautiful young ladies. The parlors were remarkable for the exquisite taste displaved in arrang ing them, and the young ladies for their sweet smiles and handsome costumes. Tak ing everything into consideration the new year had an auspicious opening; and it is our earnest wish that at its end we may be able to chronichi less of disaster and more of prosperity than has made noted its predeces-. sor. Light Wanted. Indianapolis, Dec. 28, 1881. To the Editor of the Leader Since the new jury law went into effect it has been a noticeable fact, that but two colored man have been drawn to serve as Circuit or Superior Court jurors. It h the opinion of a great many colored people that this law was created for the express purpose of keep. ing colored men out of the jury-box, and that the jury commissioners are strictly carrying out the plans of the designers Can you gxve any light on this subject? A Reader. We know nothing about the intention of the framers of the new jury law, but we do know that since this law has been in force, colored iurors have been as scarce as white elephanli. Perhaps the commissioners can account for this. Ed. Leader. Mammoth Claim Against the Street Car Company. A suit to recover certificates for 30S shares of stock and $50,000 was filed Thursday by Charles T. Robbins, administrator de bonis non of the estite of IInry II. Catherwood, deceased, against the Citizens' Street Railway Company and Thomas L. Johnson. The complaint sets forth that Catherwooil died in possession of the above number of shares of the Company's stock, of the par value of $100 each. His death occurred in August, 1872, and his widow, who was remarried to R. G. Phelps, was appointed administratrix. In July, 1873 she was directed by the Circuit Court to sell the stock at an appraised value, and accordingly it was assigned to John Carlisle, who gave a promissory note running ten years from the date of sale. Carlisle received the certificate of transfer, and afterward assigned it to Tom L. Johnson. The suit is based on the fact that no report was made and the sale not confirmed by the Court. Incorrigible Females. Mamie and Katie Burton, incorrigible young girls, and Mollie Fowler, an inmate of Mollje Harter' ranche, were arrested Thurs day night near the 3oo, and placed in one of female departmentsof the Central Station the House. The Burton girls were somewhat under the influence of liquor, and proceeded to make thing) lively around Police Head quarters. I inally they set fire to one of the mattresses, which almost instantly caused a Dig maze ana required the combined euorts of the turnkey and one or two officers to ex tinguish it It became necessary to put the Burton girls In the duageon.

MISTAKEN' FOR A MANIAC.

A Sane Man Overpowered and Taken to the Asylum as a Lunatic. Rather a bungling mistake was made Thursday by which a sane man was taken to the Insane Asylum instead of the right man. Last Friday a man named William Gabb, whose home is at No. 100 South East street, was declared of unsound mind, and papers for his admission to the Hospital for such people were made out and filed. An order for his removal was received yesterday, and Deputy Sheriffs Bradley and Conway went after the man. Instead of securing the right individual they arrested one William Knapp, a German, who has been doing work arourd the saloon of Chris Schetter, corner of Delaware and South streets. Being able only to speak broken English, Knapp could not explain to the Officerrs that he was not the right man and not crazy. Finally he became excited and on resisting was overpowered and placed in a carriage after being handcuffed. Near the Court House he jumped from the carriage to the street, and bailiffs summoned the assistance of several men to regain possession of the supposed lunatic. The man shouted lustily, and strongly resisted his captors, who at last bound him with ropes and in this manner took him to the Asvlum. Upon arriving at the Institution the Deputies were astonished at learning they had brought the wrong man. and were told to bring him back. This they did, and liberated Knapp, whose hands were badly bruised and other injury sustained in his endavor to obtain freedom. Knapp, after being brought back to the city, created consternation by going into a saloon to wash his hands, where he was recognized by one or two of those present, who took to their heels from fright. Later he was met by a reporter, whom he informed hat for seven weeks he was nn inmate of the Asylum, being a sufferer from epileptic fits, and was released on the 27th of December. At present he is making an effort to get into the Soldiers' Home at Dayton, O . having been a soldier of the late war. It is supposed the deputies were mistaken on accouut of his recent release from the Asylum, and the similarity of names, Knapp's experience was rather bitter and equally as strange, but he does not blame the officers, as he realizes they were honestly mistaken. He was anxious, however, that a correction be made. It is needless to add that William Gabb. the right man, was afterward arrested and erceived at the Asylum. THE POULTRY SHOW. The annual exhibition of the Indiana Poultry Association is now in full blast at Masonic Hall. The display of choice birds is the fmei-t that has ever been given in the United States. The entries include some 7Ö0 prize birds, which includ Asiatic Plymouth Rocks. Games. Hamburg Familv. Polish Bantams of all kinds. There were on exhibition birds that weigh from nine ounces to fifteen nounds.

SUICIDE. George . Shewnmker, ex-Chief of the Terre II inte Pol let force, died at the Spencer Hous-e Wedi esday ingt-t about 8 o'cIock from the effects of morphine, suppose! to have been taken with suicidal In tent. Shewmaker, on Saturday, oltdiud a small amount of money from Detective MeKinII y on a check bearing the forged signature of Oliver joniison, a 1 arm er living out of uie city. Alter this transaction nothing more was seen of him. The Sieiicer House register snows mat ne came mere on yesterday and reg istered as 'George v. Shaw, New Kerrdns." He was assigned to room No. tT, which he left but once or twice until his death, having his meals sent to his room. Monday evening a clerk called at his room and aked if he was sick or in need of anything. He replied, without opeuiue the door. that he wanted nothing. Yesterday morning a chambermaid hea-d a noise, as ol one iu pain, and i'.if.irmed the otlieo below. An entrance into the room revealed the man lying in the bed in an tiucoasiious condition. A ihysimil was seni ior ani everyininR possible was done to relieve his suffering. He lingered iu ter rible pain until death relieved him. To someone about the hotel he said on Sunday that he was aui.creu wiin neuralgia mere Is little doubt, however, that he contemplated Miiciue aim iiho purcufsea lae drug fur that purpose. His wite was summoned froai the hone of a relati.e at Malott Park, with whom she wiu stopping, t'apuin Campbell was the first to Identify Shewmaker yesterday. Thertmaius were put in charge r.f Undertaker Warner, and win De sent to itrre mute ror burial. The Street Car Accident. An investigation Into the causes of the death of Sister Assumptia was begun Wednr 9 lay by Coroner Maxwell, the first witness oeing llliatu Darby, the "spotter," who was on the street car before the accident. His testimony did not differ from the state ments made in ye.-terdav's Sentinel. He said the driver attempted to stop the car by putting on the brakes, but as it slid along tue tracK ne wuippeu up to get across in front of the train. After the accident he said he examined the brake and found it in working order. No other witnesses were ex amined. The Street Car Company are representeu oy an attorney at the examination. The testimony will be resumed this morn ing. It was Professor John Young who was a pas?enger on ttie car instead of a Mr. Brown as stated. He attaches the blame to carelessness on tle part of the driver. Sis ter Assumptia was buried yesterday morn ing from St. Patrick s Church. Bishop cnatara ueiivereu me tuneral sermon and the ceremony was of a very beautiful character. The relatives of the unfortunate S:der lived in Cincinnati instead of JefiTersonvilie, and ner mother arrived last even ing, tlie body having been placed in a vault until her arrival. She was here last week on a viit, at which time her daughter was m perfect health, making the news of her untimely and terrible death an awful shock. The Avenue Accident. The Coroner's examination in reference to the Virginia avenue accident was continued Thursday. Henry Bettclur, the driver, tes tified in his own behalf, saying that the flagman did not h til him until it was too late to stop the car. The other witnesses examined were . I). Tobin, John Pfifer, Ollicer Jester, Prof. John Young and Martin, the engineer. o(hing new was developed at the examination, but the testimony was mainly of a damaging character against the driver. The testimony will be resumed to morrow. A Change In the State Library. Miss r.iuma I.. Marshall, who has been the elhcient Deputy State Librarian, has been asked to resign by Mrs. Windsor, the Libra rian. There are numerous reports regarding the action of Mrs. Windsor, the most nota ble of whic- is that the two ladies could not agree on office matters. Just who will succeed Mis Marshall is not vet known, but it is said fliat it will either be Mrs. Cox. the sister of Mrs, Windsor, or E. T. Allen. Miss Marshall has made a faithful officer, and her retirement will be greatly regretted bv an wno uaye i;ie pleasure ot her acq nam :- li t i n . i . ance.

Chief ebster is a thorough fireman, having been in the Department for years past, and will undoubtedly prove one of the best Chiefs the city has ever had. THE ASHLAND HORROR. The Murderer Are Arrested and Confess One Drove the Hearse Containing the Victims and Another Officiated as Pall Bearer. Cincinnati, Jan. 3. Advices from Ashland, Ky., state that an arrest has been made of persons believed to be the murderers of the Gibbons children, the arrest being brought about by a confession of one of the number. All live in Ashland, and two are married men. They are in Catletsburg Jail. Lynching is expected to-night. Cincinnati, Jan. 3. The Commercial's Ashland, Ky., special says: "The men arrested for the Gibbons murder are William Neal, Ellis Craft and George Ellis, all white. All were arrested last night and kept quietly in the hotel in the custody of Constable Hefiin. George Ellis confessed to the Con stable. He says Craft and Neal awakened him on the night of the murder and urged him to go with them to Gibbons' house. He went reluctantly. They entered by a win dow, andrteal and Craft outraged the two girls. Emma Thomas recognized Neal and said she would tell her mother. Robeit, the boy, then was about to give the alarm, when Craft struck him on the head with an ax, killing him instantly. Craft then told Fannie her time to die had come, and amid the piteous cries of the girl for mercy he struck her on the head, killing her instantly. Neal then killed hnima Thomas in the same wav. Craft and Neal at first denied Ellis' story, but Neal confessed this afternoon, and both Ellis and Neal waived examination. Craft will have a nearing inursdaj'. iuiis and .seal are married. Craft is single. They all were present at the fire, and one drove the hearse at the funeral and another was a pall bearer. Crowds have been gathering all day at Cattletsburg, and threats of lynching are common. The Whittaker Court Martial Washington, Jan. 3 it is said on high authority that Judge Advocate Gen eral .Swaim, in reviewing the Court Martial proceedings in the case of Cadet Whittaker, has raised the point that the Court was illegally constituted because it was ordered by President Hayes without any request from the Department Commander, and that therefore all proceedings were void. It is argued that the power of the President to order an Army Court Martial is not inherent in him as the Com-mander-in Chief, but is conferred solely by statutory authority contained in the seventysecond article oi war, which reads as fol lows : Any general officer commanding the Army of tne uiiuea states, a separate Army or sepaiate Department, shall be competent to appoint a General Court Martial either in time of peace or in time of war. But, when any such Commander is accusor under his command, the Court shall be apiointed by the President, and its proceedings ana sentence tuau ne sent directly to tne Secretary of War, by whom they stiall be laid before tne 1'iesldent for his approval or orders in the case. This article it is contended, confers no power upon the President to convene an Army Court Martial, except in a contingency specified. The question will probably be referred to the Attorney General for his opinion. The view above indicated is apparently strengthened by the fact that Congress some years ago expressly authorized the President to convene Court Martinis in .Navy cases without restriction.
