CITY BiKWS.

Hay la selling on market from $5 to.$6 per ton. F. W. Kengel has been taken to the Insane asylum. Albert Brown and George Washington will go north thia evening. Deputy Connty Treasury Richards is laid on the shelf temporarily with erysipelas. Austin H. Brown has gone to Cape May to join his family and spend his summer vacation. A motion for a new trial in the Harry Adams and Lockhart cases has been made and sustained. It was a falsa report George 0. Harding did not bare typhoid pneumonia, and ia well again. k The Acton camp meeting is increasing in interest and the attendance is becoming larger each day. There will be a game of base ball this afternoon at the park between the Cartbageniacs and Fair Flayers. Sixteen and a half pounds of old copper pennies were received at the internal revenue office yesterday in payment of $6,70 worth of stamps. People are anxioos to save money now. They can do that best by doing tbeir advertising in The News, which is read by more people than any other paper in the state. Columbus G Nealy, the son of Mrs. Mary Nealy, the poetess, who formerly lived here, died at Jacksonville, Florida, on the 24th alt, of consumption. He was 80 yean of age. The commissioners beard the remonstrance against granting Henry Geisel a Imuor licet;se all yesterday afternoon and this morning. They decided Geiael to be entitled to a license. Ex-Chief of Police Dewey retains railroad passes issued to him in his official capacity and Chief Travis does without passes The police board has made a formal demand upon him for them. The committee appointed by the ma■onic grand lodga to raaka provisions for a widows’ and orphans' horns, have held e meeting and adopted an address to be sent to the subordinate lodges of the state. The Indianapolis and Vincennes railroad will carry passengers at half fare, on regular trains, to the old settlers’ meeting of Marion, Morgan, Hendricks and Johnwm counties, to be held at Mooreaville, Tuesday, August 14. Positive bargains in real estate, goods or any other article., can always command purchasers. Tha holders of such can toll fifty thousand peoole of the chance by spending a few cents for a cheap advertisement in The News.

CiAnBLIMG INTELLIGENCE. The Breeze Stirred up In Sporting Circlea—A New <-aine—few Notes. As might be expected the expose of of thegsmbllng busiueaa of the city in The New» yesterday stirred np the surface of things, and a universal howl goes np from the crooked card players. They have already drawn In tueir horns and are wait* ing for the breeze to blow over, feeling assured they can scon resume without inteiruption if the “infernal News” will only get tired. Fo ice Captain Campbell seems to think there was something personal in Tn» New’s attack on gamblers, and hastens to sty that it is all a mistake. Billy Brando assures him that he is doing nothing, and Campbell, in tne innocence of his neart, believes him. Yet, when a man surounds himseli with a gang of thieves and professional short card wolves it is safe to watch him, and that is abont tha size of it in this instance. In de.'ens* of the Howe block game it ia stated first thvt there is no game, and then that Pfeifer was robbed of $250 while trying to gouge another man. Well, what of it? Tn*t dotan’t give men license to run a coufi-dt-nce establishment Captain Campbell further explains that he has been trying to break up George Leggett's game in the Occidemal for three weeks. If this is true be has kept very quiet about it and no raids have been published. Mr. Hunt, proprietor of Hunt’s hotel, indignantly denies that any gambling is carried on in his house, as charged by The News.—[Sentinel ] Mr Hunt does not indignantly deny, and The News never said there was a gambling den in any of his rooms. L S Alvord retains px-aes-ait n of a portion of this building and it is in that quarter of the bouse that Simon McCarthy conducts his tiger. By an unpardonable oversight the brace game of Frank Amour, over the Maison Doree, was omitted in yesterday's account of the gambling bousea. Amour used to operate a swinish game over the O'Leary deo, ard is specially well known as au able and dexterous manipulator. If any other establishment has been overlooked, the negltct will be remedied on application at this office. Charley Holland, who tried to kill Keefe, a police officer, with a red-hot poker several yews since, ia said to be indnstrioukly cultivating South Illinois sireet. He has an aye to the guileless granger, whom he inducts into the mysteries of cbuck a-luck, bunko and other amusing games. George Devol was rnn in last night as a professional gambler, and this morning he plead guilty to the cbaige. The mayor assessed a fine of $25, but Devol was re leased on promise to leave the city and net return. The commitment will be held over him if he shows up here again. John Stuck is going back to first principles wheeling mad in a brick yard Omniverous landlords have devoured bis table, furniture and “lay out,” and bis “ticktr” is iu the bauds of a oity official who redeemed it from “mine uncle’s” for $90. A distinguished ind’vidual widely known iu state politics by reason of bis active reform campaign last fall, is accused of “steering” a country friend against Simon McCarthy’s game not long since. It is claimed that the three leading games of faro are under the control of a close corporation, all being run under the same gmt-ral management. Bill Ridgway and Major Russell are grooming a tiger in Terre Haute or 8t. Louis.

deadfalls. Afler the police shall have paid proper attention to the gamblers and gamb’ing bouses mentioned in yesterday's News, a iitile inquiry into two or three South Illinois sireet auction bouses, which are little if any more upright in tbeir basinets dealing* than the late proprietor of the deadfall, will be iu order. These places are not utterly unknown to the police, as even during the past three days victims have appeared at headquarters and complained of having been robbed. Only yesterday a couple of verdant countrymen were complaining loudly of having been victimized to the extent of several dollars 'in a watch transaction. These Peter Funk establishments have several ingenious tricks which seldom fail to take in the nnwary, tha most frequent and the most succeseful of which are various swindles in watches An unsophisticated youth or old mao is brought into the deadfall by a ateerer or capper. A watch ia pat up at auction. A capper bids upon it Tha “friend” of the sight-seer, capper No. 2, recognizes tbe watch ss a valuable one, and induces the victim to bid upon it. Capper No 1 raises tbe bid. Then there is a quarrel as to who bought the watch, the capper insisting that it was his bid. The auctioneer then baa a private confereuce with V«r dant Green, inducing him to pay say $20 to prove to the other bidder, the capper, that the transaction is fair, than to go out and return in ten minutes, when the money Will be refunded. He carries out nis part of tha program, but as a matter of coarse the thieves hold fast to the money while tbe victim has only a $4 watch or more frequently nothing at ali to show for bis investment A strorg "kick” was made by a victim yesterday, who in another game, and they are countless, paid $25 for a watch represented as worth $60 by a weeping capper who had just been robbed at the depot and needed money to get home The watch would have been dear at seven'y five cents. Thie description does not include all the auction houses on Illinois street, but may lead to an investigation that will weed out truly wicked ones.

Lew Benedict's Mllnstrele. To-morrow night, at the Grand opera honse, Lew Benedict's novelty combination, comprising over thirty first-class performers, will take the boards and give an o'io of mirth and merriment of immense dimensions. Lew Benedict is a bo<>t in himself He has an originality and versitality not possessed by any other burnt-cork delineator in tbe country, and hes contributed more to the Ethiopian fund of wit and humor thanany minstrel now alive. He is a Amnant left over from the golden age of negro minstrelsy. Among other celebrities Goes and Fox, the well kuown clog dancers, will he a part of the attraction and their nimble gyration will be hailed with delight by a large and tdmiring constituency. Take it for all in all this will be as good an entertainment as will appear in this city for many a day.

Suspected Poisoning. The corner was yesterday notified that Rosalie Kantska aged seventeen residing with her parents at No. 17 East Morns street, bed died suddenly and under suspicious circumstances at 7 o’clock yesterday morning She was at the house of some young friends on Wednesday, returning borne about 9 o'clock in the evening, soon after which she became sick and showed symptoms of ‘’opium poisoning. Her parerts are Bohemians, tbe father being connected with a box factory on Maditon avenue. Yesterday evening the coroner empaneled a jury which is ewaiting tbe analyzingof the stomach by Dr Henry Jameeon before rendering a verdict.

MASONIC MITTAL BENEFIT SO- . CIETY. Cone] union «f the Me port of the An* •>u a I Meeting Yesterday. The report of the secretary of the Masonic mutual berefit society, which was fcubmiued yesterday afternoon at the mieting of the members, was full of sta tisuca interesting to the masonic frater uity and life insurance men. In the first division of the society there are now 3,821 certificates in force divided into four ciasees, *# follows: 1 From 21 to 31 years of age, 233 ; 2 From 31 to 41 years of age. 1 237; 3 From 41 to 51 years of age. 1,382; 4 From 51 to 60 years of age, 969 In tbia division tnere have been 68 deaths during the year and in each case an aver age benefit of $4,124 22 has been paid Tbe tdtal amount paid to the families of 346 deceased members during eight years ie $1,445,200 60. In the sechnd division there have been ten deaths daring the year. After the reading of the secretary’s report and that of the treasurer,Mr. Geiger offered a series of resolutions, which were adopted, providing that tbe secretary and treaanrer shall aot be chosen from the hoard of directors; that salaries shall be fixed at no higher rate than will warrant' faithful discharge of duties; that all em piojes in the office of the secretary shall be under the control of tbe board of directors; calling npon the board of directors to institute rulee to do away with tha practice of director, officer or employe to solicitor bold tbe proxy vote of any member, and to adopt legislation that will more nearly equalize the assessments of tbe older members-; that no member of tiebiardbe accepted aa surety on the bond of an officer; that all officers and adult employes be members of the society ; that the collection of monthly assess ments in Indianapolis be made without extra compensation; that a director shall not receive mere than one dollar for each meeting attended, actual expenses being allowed members living oat of the city. Mr. Curtis offered a resolution, which was adopted, that a committee of five be appointed to consider the subject of assessment in classes; so that each member may continue to pay tbe same amount as when he entered the class or equalize the aseessmenta and report at the next annual meeting J. H. Holliday offered a resolution amending section 2 of article 3 of the constitution by the addition of tbe words, ‘ but no director shall be eligible for any office in the society except that of president or vice president." Adopted. An amendment was offered by the same gentleman providing that the board consist hereafter of nine directors, three to be elected each year, and by his request consideration of this was postponed until tbe next meeting. Tbe meeting then proceeded to elect a board of directors for the ensuing year, resulting in the selection of John Love, A I). Lynch,W.W.Woollen, E P Ei.iott, D. W. Coffin, J. W Hess and F. 8. Newcomer Messrs. Wildman, Rice, Fisher acd Hunt of last year’s board being dropped. Waiter Vail, of Michigan City; John 8. Vcach of Terre Haute, and R 8. Robineon, of Fort Wayne, were appointed a standing committee to audit the accounts of the secretary and treasurer for the coming year. A motion was made and carried to pay the policy of W. O Jones, deceased, Roanoke, Ind., amounting to $4,105 09. The board of directors reported the bond of the secretary as increased to $20,000; approved. A motion was made and carried to allow no votes by proxies if presented by any officer or local ageut ofahe societv, provided that the agents may present tbe votes of members within his agency. The board of directors were ordered to reduce the salary of the secretary to $2 000 Tbe new board of directors will meet to-morrow evening and elect officers for the coming year.

Fertton&l. General de Trobriand, of the 13th U. 8. regular infantry, and a portion of his suff, Adjutant Baker and Lieutenant Olmstead are at the Grand. General de Trobriand is probably the only French native officer of high rank in our jfrmy. When a younger man he commanded the famous French company (the Lafayette Guards) of New York. His career as a general officer tbroogbout the whole w«r of the rebellion won the highest esteem of the government, and his work (m French) on our war occupies the first place among French military authorities The young officers of his staff will be present at the lawn party given at Mr. J. K. Sharpe’s this evening.

Tbat Hoeplt&I. It is understood that the old school doctors will settle the city hospital muddle thus: First, each and every member of tbe staff will resign; second, the superintendent will theu appoints new staff, (as he is strictly ethical the homoeopathic element will be left out,) and third, any patient who wants other than allopathic treatment can elect bia physician, who will be notified and the hospital opened to him, and peace and harmony will prevail.

Patrolmen Rosenberg and Potts got on tbe track of two suspicious characters this morning and chased them down the alley at tbe rear of the city building One of them neaped but the other, Charley Bmith, believed to be a New York thief, was captured. He had in his possession a dezen i ew hats, the owner of which has not yet been found. He will go to the grand jury. Freight cars are brdly wanted at this point Unless relief is soon afforded the elevators will soon be taken np with grain and no more can be received. Over 100.000 bnthela of wheat are here awaiting shipment, and dealers are daily ra fusing consignments on account of lack of transportation east. The Herald of to morrow will contain a long account of the life and adventures of William Rodifer, tbe notorious coivtct, written by his sister. The narrative shows bow, when a mere boy, he wai led astray by Wea. Wright, an Indiana avenue Fagin. Patrolmen Shearer and Clarke say that Charley Odle, “detective,” draws on his imagination for the facts be pretends to give m tbat statement published in The News yesterday. They threaten to come out in a counter statement Out with it Henry Schweir brings suit for divorce against Georgians, his wife, alleging habitual drunkenness
