Hsnachen wants a divorce from Louisa, his wife, alleging adultery with Charles Porterfield, as cause for legal separation. Billy Sherbnrne, who handles tbs throttle of 35, ran ths Vandalia express irom Terre Haute “in” last evening in two hours. The baby found at the door of Mr Hedge, on Entaw street the other morning was taken to the orphan asylum yesterday evening. The red eyed criminal law will be given in allopathic doeee until September 25, for just now base ball has a vacation and tha judge feels like badness. Strange crooks are occasionally seen promenading on South Illinois street and they dodge corners with ths celsrity of last winter when the police approach. Deputy Sheriff Harmonlng who retarned this morning, reports Harry Southgate tobe failing in health rapidly. He la an inmate of the hospital and is too thin to oast ashedow.

The proprietor of the whilom Post was pacing the beat from the poet office to Washington street yesterday evening, with a crimson flush in his sye and a 16 inch derringer concealed in the folds of his garment A country bumpkin was mourning last night that he had been gobbled by a scarlet woman and robbed. Afterwards he calmed down and struck a balance, and the police finding him “oat” bat thirty cents, declined to interfere Edward Hall, the man arrested yesterday for selling bogus railroad tickets will not have bis preliminary examination before the mayor nntil to-morrow. Hholl, tha St Louis drummer who shoots, will be given a chance to appear to-morrow. The school board at an exceedingly short and aweet session last night,decided to appoint Plssaant Bond a teacher in the high school, his salary to begin when he is assigned to dnty. Clara Washbnrne was made a principal of school house No. 6 at a salary of $1,000. The fire yesterday attemoon was J. R. McCormick's wood*bed in the rear of No. 400 North Mississippi street Small damage. The alarm at 7 o’clock last evening was caused by a little blaze in the Sheets property, near the corner of Missouri and New York streets. No damage. The mother and friends of H.G. Griffith, who was adjudged insane yesterday, write The News saying that his motive in arming himself was to repel burglars, and that ne had no intention of harming any member of the honsshoid. It is also denied that be was armed when arrested. It is getting to be a puzzling problem to determine when that improvement midway between Illinois and Meridian on Washington street, will be finished so as to permit passage of pedestrians on the pavement. The street is rough walking, and the owners might at least lay down planking for the ladies. It is a pity that a few more roods don’t center in Indianapolis, so that their trains coaid be added to the 6 p. m. assembly at the union depot When the fall time table is framed, it might be beneficial to arrange so as to give a few minutes interval in the arrival of east bound traffic; if not, the depot mast be enlarged. The smile of satisfaction which covered the countenance of an urchin on West Washington street this morning, as he prigged a peach from a basket at a commission house, was followed by a howl of angnish as he bit into the luscious fruit to encounter the business end of a bee that was roosting on its velvety surface. The evidence in the Morris murder case this morning was very favorable to the defendant, medical experts testifying that a woman in the state of health Mrs. Morris was known to be for two or three months before her death could have died from natural causes with symptoms sim'lar to those attendant apon her final sickness. Yesterday afternoon John Norton, a west end saloon-keeper, succeeded in keeping a constable who had come to make a levy on bis drinkery, and a posse of police aiding that officer, at bay for some time, but they finally closed in upon him and he surrendered, being allowed to u.arch out of the garrison with his side arms. Wood G. Tousey says he will spend $10,000 before he will pay a cent on the judgment obtained by the Sentinel employes against himself and other stockholders on back pay suits. Mr. Tousey is one of Shoemaker’s stub-book shareholders aud caught it on both sides He has views on Sentinel mismanagement. Merrit Hugly, the old colored man whose boy Carter ran away on the first of July with William Coleman, has heard nothing of them, and is in great distress in consequence. His boy is fifteen and Coleman is twelve years of age. Any one knowing an j thing of these wanderers will do a kind act by repartmg it It is thought that Willie Dreysmall, the eight year old boy residing near the corner of Dillon street and English aveuue, who was knocked down by the horses of a street car on the English avenue line a few days ago and dragged by the wheel a distance of fifteen or twenty feet, ia disabled for life. At the time of the accident it was thought he was uninjured, biit spinal troubles have since supervened. In playing about the yard yesterday afternoon Frank Eckols, No 361 East Market street, broke through tbe decayed top of a cistern, falling into the water and drowning. No one saw the accident and it wsa several hours before the body was found. The coroner’s jury in its verdict last night censured J. B. Cleaveland, owner of tha property, for permitting the cistern to remain in a dangerous condition. Tbe deceased waa eight years old. Seven or eight of the ten alderman are confident that the city can cut off just as many water plugs as she may deem proper, and that the carrying oat of the threat of tbe water works company to shat off the water supply altogether will violate its charter. The water works company on the other hand have the legal advice of Harrison, Hines and Miller, Porter <fc Fishback, and probably Baker, Hard & Hendricks, and is confident in the position it has taken. Mr. Bnrke, formerly of Richmond, Indiana, died at the residence of his son-in-law, on College avenue, this morning. Mr. B. was one of the oldest Masons in Indiana, and was noted for his ardent devotion to the order. He was a member of Richmond comnaandery. His remains will be taken to Richmond for interment It*par commandery will escort the remains to tbe depot, and meet to morrow morning at seven o’clock for that purpose. Mr. tletcber’a Lectures. The arrangements for Rev. J. C. Fletcher's lectures for the joint benefit of the Home for the Friendless and himaelf.have been completed. The first one, on “Life in Portngal,” will be given at the First Baptist charch, on August 28th, and the second, on “Modern Italy,” at Roberts Park on September 4th. All who heard Mr. Fletcher’s former coarse will be anxious to hear these, and those who did not can be assured that they will have a rarely intereeting entertainment by attending. The price of tickets has been put at thirty cents for a single lecture or fifty for two. For sale at the book stores and Fletcher & Sharpe’s bank. A Grain Man’* Troubles. Col. Dobbs returned this morning from Lafayette, where he arrested Frank Reynolds on a grand jury warrant charging him with forgery. Reynolds was a grain speculator who cut a dash here a few months ago, aud \t is alleged became involved in some questionable transaction which resulted In financial loss to the Meridian National bank and the Gallap brothers who ceased his indictment. He gave bond at Lafayette in the sum of $1,000 and was not brought to this city. New Suita. R. L. McOoatt this morning brought suit against J. H. Roes, Abigail E. Rosa, James M Crawford and Jesse Jones to rescind the contract nuder which the plaintiff purchased or traded for the Braden blocks on North Meridian and South Illinois streets. He alleges that Rose mode false representations as to certain tenants, on tbe strength of which he was indneed to bay. About $40,000 worth of property is involved.

As to Gambling;: If anybody thinks there is no gambling goirg oninthe city, an hour or two on lldnoia and Washington streets for a block in any direction fiom the Intersec tion of these streets, will convince the most skeptical of his error. A hundred professional gamblers can be seen any af ternoon within that limit—men who are as well known to tne police as their own names. These men live here year in and year oat with occasional reinforcements and as they always wear good clothes and have a supply of ready cash, there can be no room to doubt that they make short cards pay for they never do a stroke of work. The M&iaon Doree, O'Leary’s and Mortlend's building seem to be the head quarters of these very useful members of society, and they can be found loafing about these places at any hour of the day or night. The News has already pointed out the fact that games can be fonad in Mortland's bnildirg, in Alvord’s block across the street, ard in the Occidental hotel, but by for the meet dangerous class of gamblers are those who lay in wait for “suckers,” who are roped up against barefaced “skin” games which are never located in the same place longer than a day or two at a time. The Brando gang, composed of abent a dozen dissolute characters, appear to have a monopoly in this feature end barring an occasional skin game over the Maison Doree, they do most of their business on tbe southside. Capt Campbell, with suspicious earnestness vouches for their character and says they are doing nothing. It is known, however, that they have rooms on Maryland, South Illinois and Louisiana streets, from which it is safe to infer that Campbell does not know what be is talking about, or that it he is honest in his asseveration he is an incompetent and unfit for the position be occupies. Professional gambling can be stopped in a city of this size, and tbe public has been led to believe that under the present police administration it would be rooted out Thus far the police have not done it. >

The Auditor’* Futile Grab. Several of the leading insurance companies, stimulated by a legal opinion from Senator Joseph B. McDonald, will contest the collection of fees assessed upon them by State Anditor Henderson. It is claimed by the auditor that he can charge not only for the certificates proper but also for his approval of statements attached to same, which makes fees for each certificate $4 instead of $2 for local agencies, and as many companies have from 100 to 200 agencies through the state it will readily be seen that the aggregate of the proposed grab will reach away np into the thousands. It is estimated that if successful in contesting the claim Henderson’s perquisites will fall short from $10,C00 to $15,000 per annum from the anticipated figure. Some of the companies have paid but others are kicking.

Argus Dean, of Clark county, is one of the largest fruit growers in this or any other state, one item being twelve thousand crab apple trees, which this season are heavily laden with fruit, aud he designs to “make them all np into cider.” He has perfected machinery for clarifying it, by which means it will keep indefinitely. Being absolutely pure it will be healthful and “something good to take.” J. R. Ryan, groceryman, will be agent for his clarified crab cider in this market, with whom dealers can make liberal arrangements for supplies.
