Shafer, a prominent attorney of this city, took to himself a wife this week in the person of Miss Mary F. Baxter, of Springfield. Indiana. Last evening James Eaglan nipped some handkerchiefs in front of Daglish A Green's, on South Illinois street, and was himself nipped by Sergeant Kiley. At the Grand Hotel billiard room last evening Parker A. Byers beat Garratt 118 in French caroma, 200 points up, and Bussey 12, same number of points up.

“The Harman Element in Revivals” was discussed yesterday afternoon by the Ministerial Association, Dr. Ed son and Rev. Mr. Tincher leading. “The Power of Prayer” was choeeu for next meeting The only case of interest to-day before the Superior Court, is the suit of Elizabeth Negley against the Union Depot and Peru Railway Companies, she claiming $500 for value of a trunk lost while en route to Castleton The creditors of Wm. Braden, represent ing $127,284.23, had a meeting yesterday af ternoon and authorized the assignee, Mr. Elder, to settle any approved claim by paying with properly in the list, at its appraised ralue. The Pythionians, of the N. W. C. University, celebrated their nineteenth anniversary last night. John R. Woodward delivered an address on the “characters of Lincoln and Lee,” end John Q. Thomas, on “Society.” The Journal tells of an old man employed in one of the newspaper offices who drew a $50 silver watch 21 years ago, and since that time has been unsuccessfully tampering with lotteries until he has expended a gross estimate of over $6,000. The South Side Good Templars have elected the following officers; W C T. Walter H Nichols; W V T.

The “sensation” yesterday near Fletcher’s brick yard,' on the Pendleton Pike, has been boiled down to the fact that Saturday night an Irishman, probable name Murphy, was attacked by highwaymen and robbed of $21. He was badly injured by a knock-down from a boulder. During the year ending with October Coroner Fuller held 91 inquests, 15 caused by railway accidents, 9 miscellaneous, 7 intern perance and 4 exposure, 9 drowned, 3 murdered, 12 suicide, 2 abortion, 10 causes un known, and 24 miscellaneous causes not enumerated.

J. Hammond, Mrs. S. A. Johnston, Mr. Boyd, and Mr. Sharpe. In view of the Sentinel’s reduction of wages, which is characterized ae “ threatening a standard below that of simple sustenance,” the Typographical Union has fulminated a bull, and calls upon the laboring men of the city to discountenance in every way possible the action of the present management of the paper—withdraw their patronage from the paper, and from any person who patronizes it or the establishment.

W. P. BINCHAM, 50 E. Washington Street

Tke Hickest Bidder *•< 1C There are some things not altogether satisfactory in the action of the Contract Committee of the Council in awarding the Massachusetts avenue sewer contract to Messrs. Bruner A Riner, whose bid wss 20 cents per foot higher than that of their competitor, Joe Hanna. When the matter was sprang in Council lest night Mr. Kahn rather curtly explained that Hanna some time in the past had failed to file a bond and therefore the committee had not entertained his bid on this improvement; but Mr Kahn failed to explain why several bids had been accepted from Mr. Hanna since his failure as above, and why no objection had been raised against him until he happened to come in competition With Messrs. Bruner & Riner. This failure to file a bond arose from tbe Huron street improvement, where, after a bid had been made and the contract accepted, it was found that part of the street was outside of the city limits, and consequently a collection on precept could npt lie against the property. and in declining to make out his bond Mr. H. acted under knowledge of the City Attorney. The letter setting forth these facts at the time s handed by Mr. Hanna to Fant, who gave it to Kahn, bnt Kahn never presented the letter to Council, and its existence was ignored. The Massachusetts avenue sewer, under the award to Bruner A Riner, will cost upward of $400 more than it would had the work been awarded Mr. Hanna, and$400 is no small item in these tightening times. If Mr. Hanna has any “sand” he will take legal measures to assert his right, and if nothing further can at least compel a readvertising and re-letting of the job.

Premia m Paid on Barrelt’a Policy. The late E G. Barrett held several policies of insirance on his life, one of which was in the Union Mutual, of Maine, for $1,000, on the ten year plan. It provided that if he should cease paying after two payments the policy should be good for as many tenths as he had made annual payments. He made four payments and ceased. A part of the premium was paid by note, which bore interest After he ceased paying the premium he made no payment of interest,and this the company claimed forfeited the policy. After his death Mrs. Barrett provided proof in the usual manner and in return received this curt note; “We have your letterot the 27th ult, with proofs of the death of Edwin G. Barrett There would seem to be no doubt as to the death, but so far as this company is concerned that fact seems to be of little importance, as at the time of the death this company bad no risk upon his life. C. H. Brewer, Assistant Secretary ” Upon this she consulted friends as to what she had better do. She was advised to put the matter in tbe hands of attorneys, and this she did, engaging Finch & Finch, who immediately wrote a full statement of the case and their intention to prosecute it through. The company pondered upon this and concluded to pay, and yesterday the policy was paid, $400, deducting outstanding note and interest. The agent of the company still denies any liability under the policy, but says the amount is too small to* justify a contest.

Judge Buskirk has overruled the motion to quash the indictments against Boswell and wife. Hackmen are running around to-day trying to find the Councilmen who voted for that ordinance. Protracted meetings are in progress this week at Olive Branch church, on South Meridian street A. Kaufman, 412 Indiana avenue, has secured a whisky license from the County Commissioners. John Hooker, one of the two who stole old iron from the Pan Handle, is on trial h>day in the Criminal Court. The revival meeting , transferred from the Gospel Tent to Y. M. C. A.

Formal Opening of i be Grand Hotel. Whether considered in the numbers or quality of the people in attendance, the kingly manner in which they were entertained, or yet the splendid establishment so elegantly and tastefully furnished, the success of the opening last evening could hardly be exaggerated. There is absolute lack of courage in the statement of this morning’s Journal that the Grand “certainly ranks among the best In the city.” Why not admit the truth and say to such as are ambitious to excel in this branch of enterprise—you will have to try again, gentlemen. What encouragement to men of nerve and enterprise to invest their capital, staking their all in their faith in In iianapolis, to give it the only feature lacking to make it equal to other cities, if, when it is finished and christened amid the plaudits of the multitude the press so mincingly and sparingly acknowledges what has been done. Nowhere throughout the superb structure of the Grand was the appropriateness of the name by which it has been called more completely demonstrated, or Mr. Baker's fitness to be at its head, better displayed than in the diningroom. Surely there is nothing known to culinary art of which Mr. Baker has not possessed himself, to Have spread such a feast; viands of such richness and delicacy, dishes so multiplied, varied and appetising as those to which his guests sat down. Space would fail to do full justice in description of the spacious dining-room so exquisitely arranged and decorated with floral display. The holiday dress of the room and masterly management of the waiters was in great measure due to the presence of G. Kinsey, late of Chicago, whom Mr. Baker has been fortunate^ enough to secure. A sincere acknowledgment must be made of the skillful part rendered last night by Messrs. John Gregg, T. J. Cullen and Will Elliott, the efficient clerks of the Grand. Or course such an occasion would have been incomplete without music, which was supplied on one floor by Mr J. B. Campbell, whose piano performances surprised and delighted every one, and on another floor by the Anderson band, which discoursed its best selections. A capital feature of the evening, and one which particularly fixed the attention of the ladies, was the splendid floral display that bordered the promenade in the rear of, and above the office leading around to the dining-room. This floral cob lection is a permanent fixture of the house, and not merely supplied for the occasion, as many supposed. From this corridor a splendid view is obuined of the office below, and of everything that is being transacted on tbe streets withouL At a late hour the assembled audience dispersed, immensely * ' aitfee ‘ * *

The police this forenoon wanted Saunders, the forger, to consent to have his photograph taken, that his likeness might be sent on to Philadelphia. The wily rascal was too old for such chaff, and he was not long in apprising the officers to that effect Esquire Phemeister, of Franklin township, died yesterday and was buried to-day.* He was a prominent Granger, and there is re port that his accounts are unsatisfactory.
