He was evidently on burglary intent. The examination of George Louthain, of Muncie, in bankruptcy, has been brought from that city to this place and ia before Register Jordan to-day.

Circle park and neighboring streets and and sidewalks were crowded last night with people listening to the concert of the Russ rifle band. At the end of the performance there was a grand rush for all the soda water fountains in the vicinity, and for once these mixers had their hands

The News yesterday that the family of Edwin Powell was poisoned by eating ice cream is untrue; the illness was from another cause. Dr.H. was himself the author of the first story. His diagnosis has come to the relief of his prognosis; his hind-

sight is better than his foresight. David Stewart was arrested yesterday by

Officer McDonald for making a dastardly assault upon his mother and sister at their home on Indiana avenue. He beat them •with bricks, and attempted to impale McDonald with a pitchfork when the latter appeared. He is held on a charge of as-

sault and battery with intent to kill. The 'allowance for the United States

That ornithological nusiance, the English sparrow' has been driven away from .the blind asylum grounds by a method that it will do to bring into use in other places where these pests abound. Their nests were all gathered and destroyed, and every attempt to rebuild was thwarted. Now robins, cat-birds and other long-lost feathered favorites have returned. Several months ago prosecutor Heller swore a mighty oath and said that he could take Judge Buskirk’s Moriarty decision to the supreme court as a question of law to furnish authority for the future. Inquiry made at the office of the clerk of the supreme court finds that Mr. Heller has never moved in the matter. He shouldn’t swear such oaths unless he

means business.

About 9 o’clock this morning a fine horse attached to a large carriage belonging to Hon. E. C.

GASThe Ciruell Committee Recommemf Cat- »*»* off i.ooo Pabfle Lamps. At the council meeting last night the committee on gas made die following import: In our opinion no reduction of gasbilih can be made to the amount namedin the estimate, namely $55,000, and inasmuch as the city ie now asing and paying for a greater number oi lamps than is necessary to properly light the same, your committee would recommend that 1,000 street lamps be dispensed with, and that the city civil engineer and committee on gas be directed to designate the aforesaid lamps to be dispensed with; and when so designated the Indianapolis Gaslight and Coke company be notified to dkfcontino* lighting the same, and that they will not be paid for after the first day of August, 1878. We would further present a statement of the number of public lamps now being paid for, and cost ef same, and cost of gas consumed by meter measurement, and reduction we Lave made in accordance with your instomctibns, and estimate made for current year: Number of street lamps 2,840, at $29, $82,360; gas by meter measurement at $2 per $1,000 feet, $3,000; total, $85,360; 1,000 lamps discontinued, $29,000; gas bv meter measurement, $1,360; total reduction, $30,360; making the estimated cost of gas for the year $55,000. Some little debate was occasioned by this report. Mr. Wright did not think it wise at this time, when negotiations are pending with the gas company, to take such a step. Mr. Tucker, a member of the committee on gas, said he was satisfied the gas company does not intend to make any such reduction in the price of gas as will enable the committee to report that the amount allowed to them—$55,000—hr the joint convention of the councils would bfr sufficient to meet the expenditures on that account. Any delay in. this metier is in favor of the company and against the interests of the city. lie farther stated that the plan proposed for carrying out this reduction in the number of lamps, contemplated the cutting off of superfluous lamps in squares where there are more than four, taking out alley lamps where there are two directly opposite, and removing those which are so hid in the branches or trees as to be worthless for illuminating purposes. After a little further talk by Messrs. McKay, Marsee and Cummins, the matter was postponed until next Monday, at which time the committee was instructed to present a final proposition from the gas company. The directors of the company will be at home to-morrow, and a conference between them and the gas committee will be held at once.

A Snake Story. There is great excitement in the neighborhood of the old Bruce place, near the first toll gate on the Millersville pike,-just north of the city. An immense snake, desbribed as “reachin’ across four corn rows,” that is 28 or 30 feet in length, has been seen. The monster was last seen entering a field of oats in the neighborhood, the owner of which now offers large wages for laborers to cut, as the crop is ready for the sickle, but can find no one willing to risk life ana limb against the serpent for hire and salary. The snake is described as having a head as large as the head of a cow, and a long, tawny mane. It also has long horns and a tongue iuat has f/cni five io seven prongs. Its breath, which can be perceived from a great distance, is foul and pestilential as the odors of the Sellers farm.

" BEACONSFIKLD. He Is Welcomed HonTe with DUNwgulehed Honors. London, July 16.—A number of lords and members of the house of commons go to Dover to-day to welcome the Berlin plenipotentiaries. The mayor and corporation of Dover will present Lord Beaconsfield with an address of congratulation, and the special train provided for the plenipotentiaries will reach Charing Cross railway stat : on at 4:15 o’clock. Lord Lenox has charge of the organized demonstration of welcome. Tickets have been issued for as many persons as the railroad station will accommodate. All metropolitan conservative associations will be present but no address will be made? AH members who can be absent from parliament will be present at the station. Many members of parliament have applied for tickets to the platform, expressing a wish to make the demonstration national. Seats for 500 friends of the first lord of the admiralty have been erected within the admiralty enclosure in White Hall. Downing street will be reserved for members of parliament. Between Charing Cross and Downing street the general public will be admitted, eo that the spontaniety and warmth of the welcome will have to be judged by the demonstration at this point of the route. Traffic will be stopiied fr»m fifteen minutes past four until the Beaconsfield carriage passes. The ministerial banquet at the Mansion house will take place on the 3d of August. The date ef the complimentary dinner tendered by the Cartlin club has not yet been determined on. The western platform at Charing Cross station, down which the carriage road runs, has been partitioned off and while rows of raised seats skirt one side, banka of rare flowers rise on the other. Along the sides of the carrige-way the platform is entirely hidden by flowers and the walls of the station and entrance way are decorated with the flags of the nations participating in the congress, and clusters of devices and emblems. "* The Times says: “Lord Beaconsfield will be welcomed to-day as the chief actor in one of the most honorable triumphs in the modern diplomacy of England. To the fame of the distinguished English statesman he has added that of a singularly successful foreign minister, and it would be hard to say what greater distinction can remain for him. London, July 16, 4 p. m.—The vicinity of Charing Cross and Trafalgar square is packed with people. The passage on the west etratul and Whitehall even for pedestrians is blockaded. Charing Cross hotel ‘and the houses on either side of the way to Downing street are covered with flags and decorations. Many American Bags are flying, including a fine display from the American Exchange opposite Charing Cross hotel. The carriages of the nobility are constantly arriving from the direction of Pall Mall, and each is received with cheers from the crowd. At this hour the reserved seats in the station are filled. Ladies are in gala costume, and the scene is very brilliant. * London, 5:30 r. M.—Lord Beaconsfield alighted at Charing Cross railway station at 4:50 p.m. Altera brief handshaking Beaconsfield and Lord and Lady Salisbury entered their carriage. As they drove along the west strand there was one continuous cheer ard showers of bouquets. The crowd followed the carriage, cheering and throwing flowers all the way to Downing street. Sherman on Grant’s Candidacy. [Washington Special.] What Secretary Sherman did say in a private conversation was substantially that in the present state of public sentiment, under the existing excitement over the possibility of the democrats getting control of both branches of congress, thus virtually reviving the rebellion—that under these circumstances, if the convention were to lie held to-morrow, General Grant would be nominated, but his election would not be certain. That of course related to the present, and had no reference to what may or may not occur two years hence. His remark has been criticised as indelicate from one occupying his relations to President Hayes, but it can not be so construed in the light of the fact that Mr. Hayes has repeatedly, am? in various ways, made known his unalterable purpose not to be a candidate for re-election. As to Resumption. Washington, July 16.—It is understood that no formal opinion has been given by the attorney-general to the secretary of the treasary concerning the exchange of gold for notes from the United States treasury. Upon the exchange of view upon the subject the secretary and the attorney general agreed that this could n«t be done until the first of Januaary. The treasury department ha* the option, however, of paying gold on government account at any time. The smaller gold coins are likely to go into circulation in this manner. The coin balance still shows a steady increase, and at the close of business to-day amounted to $206,546,000. The German Election*. London, July 16.—Canvassing in Germany for elections for members of the Rich'stag, to take place on the 30th, is very heated. The struggle will be severe, especially in the larger towns where daily meetings* are held. It seems improbable Bismarck will be strong enough in the new parliament to dispense with the assistance of the national liberals, on whom he has heretofore been entirely dependent.

Interview With Achey at the Heme.

At 2:40 this afternoon while Georg* * well-known gambler of this city, was nlanding in Chapin &OoreV liquor establishment on North-Hlinoin street during the sale of the pools on base ball, John Achay entered, and without a word of warning, drew a revolver and fired two shots at him. One shot hit him, striking him below the breast hone. Leggett staggered and fell, exclaiming that he was a dead man. Achey’s second shot, fired an instant after, struck a bystander, an old man, -. in the leg. His name is unknown. Leggett was taken to his residence, No 188 North Illinois street, where an examination led the physician. Dr. Foulds, to believe that be had hia death woundThis opinion proved to bs correct, as Leggett died at 3.-05 p. m. He leaves a wife and one chUd, a hey nine age. He also leavea from to $75,000 worth of propThe cause of the murder is have existed in recent gambling operation in which, Leggett, a gambler named Brown, and one or twoothers beat "Achey out of $*,100, which he came into possession of a short time ago by the. death of hi* mother. The game is said to have been played at die Occidental, hotel where Leggett has for more than a year kept a gambUng room. Achey was arrested on 'Washington • street, near Hogshire’s shoe store, the scene of the Bolan murder, by.officer Richards. He accompanied the officer peaceably to the station house, and made no attempt to escape. On the way there he remarked that “he had shot to kill.*’ A News reporter visited the station at . 3 o’clock and obtained aa interview with him. He stood behind the heavy iron bars of the coridor and answered all the Interrogatories that were put to him in a clear and conoise manner, perfectly collected, and seemingly without any com- • punctions of conscience. He was evidently under the influence of liquor. . He said: “I had a spite against Leggett, and that was one of the tilings that made me do the shooting, Leggett has been ia the habit of drawing a gun on me whenever he felt like it and I just thought I would get even with him, so about a week ago I bought % pistol, and this is the firat time I have had a chance to use it. Reporter—Was that the only reason yoa shot him£ Achey-—No; he robbed me of over $1,100 a few weeks ago, and I meant to get even with him. Reporter -You shot to kill him, then! Achey—Yes, of course I did. I meant to wound him pretty seriously even if I didn’t kill him. I met him in the bar room, and told him to “pull his gun.” I got mine out a little too quick for him, that is all. When informed of the de'ath of his victim he said, “Well, if he really is dead, then I am sorry for him, as I am sorry for any man’s death, but it has been about what he deserved.” In the whole conversation Achey did not show the slightest symptom of remorse or horror for the deed that he had just committed. He appears to think that Leggett has only met with his dues and he is not a mourner* for him.
