The Cincinnati paaaenger traini are terribly bothered with “hot boxee,” end e detention at the anion depot on tbU ecconnt is not an infrequent circa mg tan oe. Half the time it is the fault of the in•pecton at Cincinnati, and game one down that way evidently need* stirring op. An editor of one of the city weeklies, who had a little fight the other day, and bed the miefortnne to hit hie antagonist in the month, is afraid ha got the worst of it. He had his knuckles cauterized at the time, hot alarming symptoms have set in. end at laat accounta he was banting a mad stone. The county commissioners spent the forenoon examining the mammoth bill of Scott A Nicholson for $109,0X1. They find the measurements properly vouched for and the footings correct. The entire bill will probably be allowed this afternoon, with perhaps a few dollars’ shave on supervisors’ fees, Mrs. Ellis, living on the corner of Massachusetts avenue and Walnut street, has to-day communicated to the police the Ices of her daughter, three years of age, who was stolen from this city day before yesterday by its father, Charles Ellis. Ellis lives in Washington City, where his mother follows fortune telling. Inasmuch as the Belt road is becoming a fixed fact, isn't it about time the union depot directory were moving in the mattar of rebuilding and enlarging that structure? Whenever there is a general assembly of trains (four times a day at least), the present deficiencies are demonstrated, and as there have been for years promises of improvement, the travaling public are anxioas to see something like business. J. B. Cleaveland takes exceptions to the verdict of the coroner’s jury in the Frank Eckols case, and explains that he was in no wise to blame for the accident which resulted in the drowning of the boy. He says the cistern was not dangerous, that Le had never been asked to fix it, that he does not own the property, and that the accident was purely the result of the boy’s own carelessness and a member of the family’s who left the mouth of the cistern open.

Soldiers of tlae Legion. A letter has been addressed “to the agntant jeneral” by a gentleman who wants to organize a company. The Evansville Light Guards, Captain Charles H. Meyerhoff. writes to Adjutant General Russ asking instructions. The company detires to be mustered into the militia and wants brsech-loading muskets. The Terre Haute Light Guards, Captain Charles O. Wood, will be mastered in as militia to-morrow. This company is composed of the best young men of Terre Hsnte, and already shows commendable proficiency in drllL The uniforms of the men are said to be the handsomest in tha stats. The company has taken a lease on Dowling’s ball and transformed it into a magnificent armory. The Indianapolis light infantry now numbers 175 active and 100 honorary members. With the exception of six or seven men the members are all above the usual bight, in fact shaping up as high privates averaging five feet nine and a half inches. The short men will probably bs formed into a color gnard, and if this is done the alignment will rank above that of any company in the west. Mr. Theodore Plafflin, who has been made drum major, has organized a dram corps that will lurnish music of the most martial character, music that anybody can march by. It will consist of ten‘tenor drums, hve fifes and five bugles—twenty pieces in all—and is composed of musicians who are no tyros at the instruments they propose to play upon. Mr. Pfafflin himself has already had seven years experience in a drum corps, and when he turns oat with bis baton at the head of the band, in a white shako and magnificent in gilt, will be a sight to look upon. Each member of the drum corps has beeu issued a breech loading carbine, and will receive the same instructious in drill as other members of the company.

Pleasant Thoughts. Nothing pleases us more than to write insurance on good desirable property in the host companies in the world. We are also equally well pleased te pav all losses promptly as they ooenr. Out customers are pleased, for the reason that they are insured in good companies. Our companies are pleased because they are doing a good business. And we are pleased because everybody else is pleased. M. R. BARNARD A CO.

Yesterday officer Weigand, of the Union depot, “foxed” a confidence man who was decoying a “greeny,” and he followed until a third party joined in the vicinity of the old rolling milL- While slipping between the cars some one warm d the rascals of the officer’s approach and though he sharply pursued for several squares, no captures were made. The “greeny” proved to be a resident of this city, and said the confidence men represented to him that they were in the cigar trade.

The New State Honse. The apprehensions that the setting aside of the lour state house plans now under consideration by the commissioners and the reopening of the matter to fresh competition would delay or defeat the building of the capitol are not indulged by that body. While it is trne that the examination of the avalanche of new plans would if the same proportion ot time osed upon them that has been expended on those now under consideration, take two or three years, both the commissioners and experts have been so thoroughly drilled by thair recent practice and have so familiarized themselves in details that they feel competent to get through with the new plans in case no one of the old ones meets with favor in ample time for the work to begin at the time proposed. However, it ie by no means certain that one of the plans now being examined will not suit. The amount of money apportioned to be expended by the coinmis siouers for the new state house will be spent and nothing, now visible, can in any way delay the work. The present rubbish called the capitol will be sold next Tuesday.

The moon will not rise until half an houNafter the total eclipse is ended The passage through the penumbra, ending at 8:15, will show only a slight darkening of the moon’s face. As The News’s astronomer predicts that the weather will be cloudy to-night, it is altogether likely that the entire phenomenon will escape this city. To-morrow night the moon will be in partial conjunction with Msuv and Saturn. Saturday morning about the time the three bodies decline in the west the moon will be 4% degrees north from Batnrn and 8% degrees north from Mars.

Peripatetic Paupers. A barefooted patriarch, eighty one yean old, named John Carder, bailing from Hall’a poet office, Morgan county, tottered into the township trustee’s office this morning asking relief. He is somewhat crazed, particularly on religion, and his general appearance and make-up, coupled with an experience of ingratitude on the pert of his children, closely assimilate the character of Lear as drawn by W. Sbakeepsare. William Trueblood, a seventeen year old boy came in for e railroad pass to Bardstown, Kentucky. He has had large end varied experience with township charities, hie latest jaunt dating from Charleston, Illinois, from whence he was wafted on a pass to Terre Haute, thence to Greencaatle, where the poor of-, fleer took him in for a day or two and then passed him on to this point.

Starving Sentinel printers who were tamed ont of their boarding bouses last fall because the company would not pay them their wages, were forced to sleep in the ice bouses along the banks of the canal north of the city and prey off of the office lunch eland for their meals. The notice of the meeting of stockholders of the Sentinel company, at which Wm. Henderson, Wm. Boaz and others weie frozen out in the reorganization, was pnt in the most obscure part of that paper and by order of the management an employe “battered” the face of the type to make it illegible.
