Yesterday Austin and Milton Morris went ■fishing, driving out to a place near Broad Hippie. When the storm came up at 6 o’clock in the evening it caught them in the woods, Austin Morris holding the head of the horse, the animal being terrified by fright While in this position a large tree was blown down, falling upon and killing the horse instantly and wrecking the buggy, Mr. Morris had a* narrow escape, the trunk of the falling tree missing him but a few inches. The other day a bootblack with an exceptwoally dirty nose rose before the counter of Yajen’s hardware store, demanding five cents -worth of fishhooks. The clerk looked at the urchin’s proboscis in amaze and wonder. * It ■was a most artistic fresco. “If you’ll wash that noee I’ll give you the fishhooks.” Done! Ten miantes later the boy returned with six more bootblacks, whose noses were even smuttier than his had been. He chirped: ‘‘Please, dr, here’s some more boys to trade dirty noses for fishhooks,”

THE JAIL QUESTION. Proceeding! In O>0 Alleged Contempt Case • Before the Board of Commissioners. The interest about the court house this morning was divided between the criminal court and the board of county commissioners. The proceedings before the latter body were of an unusual nature, being in the character of those for contempt. Sheriff Pressley the accused individual. Shortly after half-past nine, the hour appointed tor him to ap[>ear and show cause if any he can why he should not be attached- for contempt in refusing to recognize the order of the court authorizing O. A. Hazzard, assistant county attorney, to count noses in the jaii. Mr. Pressley, accompanied by Gen. Fred. Khefler, N. B, Taylor and W. A. Ketcham, counsel, came into the court room and took seats. The commissioners were represented by Col. J B Black and O. A. Hazzard, the cause of all this disturbance. Dye k Harris, the regular county attorneys, were not present, and some surprise was manifested., It was said in explanation that they had advised the commissioners against their action in this matter, and their advice not having been heeded, they of course would not appear. Among those in attendance were several of Mr. Pressley’s associates on the county ticket, who. took a deep interest in tbe proceedings. Alter the disposition of some preliminary matters the board announced its. readiness to proceed with the matter in hand. Mr. Ketcnam presehted a motion to the board that the affidavit of O. A. Hazzard, who was happily described as ‘An alleged assistant something or other that don’t exist,’* be quifcbed, and the proceedings under it be dismissed. Just before this, however, Mr. Remy undertook to give the reasons actuating the board in this matter and to relieve it of the imputation of naalicej which had been intimated in various places as the moving cause. He could say in the words of one whom he had learned to love almost to devotion, towit: Abraham Lincoln, that “with malice toward none, and with charity for all,” the board was endeavoring, and he especially, to do right as he jound the right. The board had been informed by some one who was in Ihe habit of visiting the jail from one to four times a day that many prisoners that hud been sentenced for 30, 60 or 00 days and discharged before expiration of sentence bad been carried on the books and charged for .the whole time; that the average number of prisoners shown on the records of the jaU, and by the accounts, say 126, was larger than any other sheriff than Mr. Pressley, even in’war times, had been able to provide for. The law compelled the board to examine all bills, even if they were sworn to as were Mr. Pressley’s— At this point Mr. Taylor arose, saying’ that these statements or explanations, however fit for another stage of the proceedings, were entirely out of place'now. They snowed a disposition on the part of at least one member of the board to crowd the sheriff, and contained charges which should not be made against a private citizen much less a sworn public official unless after being substantiated by legal proof in an investigation conducted under the law. He hoped the pcesident of the board' would recognize the unfitness of the time and place to make his

charges and deaist.

Mr. Remy, according to the suggestion of Mr. Taylor, ceased his “explanation.” . . The reasons given by the counsel for the sheriff for making their motion to quash and

dismess were set forth as follows:

First—That your honors have no juriadiction over the stfbject matter ot said alleged contempt. Second—That your honors have no jurisdiction

over the iterson of this respondent.

Third—That there t» no good and sufficient reason why said alleged order should have been is-

sued.

Fourth—That said alleged Older was and is wholly null and void and of no effect whatever. Filth—That no reason is shown in and by said affidavit why said alleged order should not have been made. Sixth—That said order was entered without any warrant of law and upon a show-ng by an alleged officer unknown to the law, and if existing at all, existing contrary to the statues of the state of In-

diana.

This motion Mr. Ketcham argued at some length, claiming that the board had no jurisdiction over the jail or the person of resjtondeut; and that it was only when sitting as a court that it had pou er to punish for contempt. The proceedings set forth in the affidavit of Hazzard were purely ministerial, and therefore there could be no contempt in refusing to recognize or obey them. Col. J. B. Black followed in an argument to sustain the commissioners action. He claimed that tor the purpose of enabling the commissioners to carry out the duties of their office, a considerable latitude in the construction of statutes must be permitted. He supported his argument with numerous citations from decisions of the supreme court, and when the hour tor noon* adjournment arrived had not concluded. He will le followed by N. B. Taylor, Jot the sheriff, which will probably close the argu-

ment.

It is the general opinion that Messrs. Remy and Ruhusn will stick to their original action and arrest the sheriff for contempt. In that case an effort will be made to release

him on a writ of habeas corpus.

MASONIC MUTUAL BENEFIT SOCIETY.

A<ldreRe of the President—Changes in the Organization of the Society—Election of IMrectdrg. The ninth annual meeting of thciMasonic mutual benefit society was held at Masffnic hall yesterday, the meeting being called to order by YV. W. YY’oolltu, president. The report of the secretary and the main business of the association was published in The News yesterday. The president made his address, calling attention to several matters in the society m eding change or reform. He called the notice of the members to “a proposition introduced at the last annual meeting by brother John U. Holliday to amend the constitution so as to increase our board of directors to nine members, to be divided into three classes of equal numbers, one class to go out of office each" year.” He said that it was tbe opinion of insurance experts that societies formed upon tbe plan of the Masonic Mutual were necessarily short lived. In the past it has l»aid its losses promptly. Can it in the future do what it has done in the past. The average age of vour membership is a fraction over 46 years, it must be kept at that or brought tower, else the society’s future is pregnant with danger. Should the average reach 50 years it will sink the society. YVe can not stand the cost which an average of 50 years would entail for the cost of remaining in the society wbuld then be greater than the cost of obtaining an equal amount of insurance from a regular life company. You will observe that members of the fourth class do not pay the cost of carrying their insurance. If this class increases and the first and second classes continue to diminish the end will soon be

reached.

At the last meeting the following amendment to section 2, article 11 of the constitution, was offered:

, See 2. There shall be a board of directors con-

ihttll serve be elected

u an cum meeting of the society. They shall hold their offices till their successors are duly elected and qualified, but no director shall be eligible lor any office in the society except that of president or vice-president. The nine directors who shall be first elected shall be divided by lot into three classes, the first to serve one year, the second to serve two years and the third ‘to serve

three years.

The amendment was adopted. The election of the nine directors was then entered upon resulting in the following being chosen: \v. W. Woollen, John Lov#, D. W. Coffin A. H.Brown, J. W. Hess, and G.YY. Geiger’ of Indiaifapolis; R. S. Robertson, Ft, Wayne, T.C.i Buutin, Terre Haute; and W. S. Riciey, Muncie. Walter Vail, John S. Beach and R. S. Rob-

ertson, auditing committee, submitted their report. They reported that thev had examined the books and accounts of the society for the year ending July 1,1878, and believed that thev had been carefully and honestly kept. They have carefully checked each item of account from the journal to the ledger, and find that they tally correctly in every instance. An examination of the accounts of Charles Fisher, treasurer, at the First national l>ank and the Central bank, shows that, with the balance on hand and the orders drawn to close the expenditures of the year, the balance due the society is on deposit in those Mtoks. The secretary, Martin H. Rice, is complimented tor his prudence and economy in reducing the running expenses of the institution. At the evening session the following were appointed auditing committee for the ensuing year: R. R. Morris, Richmond; Collins Blackmer, Lafayette; George T. Moore, Indianapolis. A committee of three is to be appointed to examine the report of the committee on eqalization of assessments in classes. They are to rejwrt a plan by which members will remain in the same class in which they enter the society. The new directors will meet next Wednesday evening to organize and elect a secretary and treasurer for the ensuing year.

* A Strange Assault. Yesterday evening at about 8 o’clock, a gentleman was accompanying several ladies from the depot to their homes. YY'henthe party were in front of Robertson & Perry’s store, on South Meridian street, a young man jumped out and dealt the man a terrible Mow on his head with a slubg-shot, and before a word could be said he had made his escape. No arrests were made, and the injured man can not imagine for what he was struck. His assailant was unknown to him and to any of the ladies, and the motives of the assault are very mysterious.

A Card.* To the Editor of The Indianapolis New*: I submit the question, whether it would not he more ridiculous for my “name to appear in print” in the Journal than in The News? For, according to Mr. Martindale, we “could have been spared from making ourselves ridiculous” by just waiting twelve hours longer, when our note to him would have appeared in the Journal. Who standi in the more ridiculous light, tbe one who chose The News as a medium for his correction of the editorial in the Journal, or the man, as editor and proprietor, who should declare that the democracy at the next legislature “passed the nullifying resolution,’ when he was at the time a senator from this county, and should know whereof he speaks? The correction of his editorial is what I sought, for it was due the republicans of the house of that session that the faiy honor they bad won from the democracy should not be taken from them. The “card” published in The News was the joint card with acolleague of the house, and signed “Members.”. Your compositor set “Thursday” for “Tuesday” and page 484 for 384. Respectfully, Oliver M. Wilson.
