Jourruil: “While quite respectfully connected, Los s bad reputation.” There will be a Sol Smith Russell matinee performance at ihe Opera house to-morrow afternoon, Chariph E. Joplin, Walter Y. Lippincott and A. W. Hatch were to-day admitted to practice in the circuit court. Judge Adams will call the docket of the circuit court Thursday to arrange a trial calendar. Cause* not represented will be stricken off. E. M. B. Hooker, a printer well known here, for some time part employed at Washington, has beeu admitted to the soldier’s home at Dayton. William Orarea, arrested on a charge of grand larceny, pleaded guilty in the criminal court thia morning. He will get a year in the penitentiary. I. L. Bloomer has resigned the position of assignee of J. W. Adams A Co, and is succeeded by Silas N. Lee, who gave bond in the sum of $25,000. Last night officers Hilliard and Muior arrested James Robinson for stealing a set of harness from John Martin, of Sligo-under-the-biill. He waived .an examination this morning.

Assembly Gleanings. r There are twelve members of the house

who have not introduced a bill. Mr. Herod, “the member without a bill," stands at the head of the list with 21 bills, six more than the next most industrious member, Mr.

Stacker.

The News makes apologyHo Major Gordon. He is syil consistent, and while voting against "instructing” senators, is not averse to “requesting” them, which is the tenor of the joint resolution be introduced yesterday. Clainfs on file in the office of the auditor of

state, unpaid, are altogether for the special services of judges, and amount to $8,648 44. These have been reported to the legislature and will be incorporated in the specific ap-

propriation bill.

The auditor of state yesterday forwardea to the legislature % tabulated statement of the

amount of fees and other emoluments received by the officers of the several counties ••of the state, so far as reported to him, during the year 1878, compiled under the resolution of the bouse passed January 15. Only eleven counties report fully, that is from all the officers, while twenty-four make no report whatever. The table shows that the (ees

range from $500 to $3,000 per year in nearly every county, the extreme limits being clerk of Starke county $392, and sheriff of Vandeiburg county $5,665. Marion county is not

reported. ^

A caucus of the members of the house and senate from this county, including Mr. English, was held yesterday afternoon, and a number of local measures discussed. It was agreed to support the bill limiting the indebtedness of counties to two per cent, of the total of the tax duplicate; providing for a police judge for indianapolis; the workhouse bill, which has been introduced in both house and senate; authorizing the boards of county comml^loners to regulate the price of toll on the gravel roads in Their respective counties. so that the revenue of the company •hall not exceed ten per cent, on the amount invested in the enterprise, and the bill for a re-appraisement of real estate this year. It was also determined to assist the board of school commissioners to lev* a special tax to meet the expense# of banding a public library, which shall be distributed over two years, and not to exceed $50,000. No further indebtedness will be countenanced. Major Gordon’s bill for the abolition of the criminal court did not meet with any encouragement, as it can not do away with the business of tbs court, it simply provides fora change

from one court to another.

a - Work t* be Begin as Sooa as the Weather will Permit.

leme Singular Claims as to the Ability of the Couaty to Do It.

The whole Basinom Don* In n Secret and Suspicious Manner.

On January 18th, the board of county commissioners employed Louis H. Gibson, a young architect of this city, to prepare plans and specifications for a new jail. Two or three days afterward. H. L. Rowe, another architect, was employed to assist Mr. Gibson in preparing these plans. The board of commissioners made no request for competition in the preparation'of the designs, there was no effort on their part to secure the services of other architects; on the contrary, they very carefully maintained a strict silence, and the first that the citizens knew of the intended jail was the announcement that the architect had been selected to prepare the plans. This was, to say the least, a suspicious circumstance, and did not exhibit that spirit of fairness that the people are so desirons of seeing in public servants. Mr. Rowe came to this, city some five or six years ago and opened an office in Wright’s block, where he announced himself as an architect

On several occasions he was a competitor for various pieces of county work in the state. At Noblesville, Washington and Lebanon his plans were entered with others. He also did odd jobs of architectural and draughting work for different architects in thia city. Mr. Jacob Rubush, one of the county commissioners, has for years been a builder and contractor, and a number of prominent buildings in ibis city have been erected by him. Between Mr. Rubush and Mr. Rowe it is said there was at one time an understanding, a partnership, as it were, under the terms of which Mr. Rubush was to canvass for Mr. Rowe and build for him, while Mr. Rowe was to furuish the plans at the above named competitive exhibitions. Mr. Rowe’s plans were then taken and engineered by Rubush at Noblesville and Washington. Mr. Rubush was working in the interest of his partner and made no secret of the connection. In other counties they were nnsnecessful, but at home with Mr. Rubush on the bench things are altogether changed. With so much .experience in competitions Mr. Rubush had learned iu just what estimation to hold them. He, of all men, knows that the best plaus are never chosen by the majority; for has he not been interested in two? Did he not present the best plans that were presented, and did not the boards ignore him most contemptuously? So no competition for him. A builder of his experience could pivk his own architect, and Mr. Rowe was that man. At any rate Mr. Rowe was chosen, and says he prepared the plans, although Mr. Gibsou is accredited with them. The following clipping from the last number of the American Builder, a Boston architectural publication, tells the story: Prison.—The new prison for Marion countv will be built from d<*igus prepared by Mr. L. H Gibson, architect, and wifi cost between $H0,U00 and •SO,000. It will contain eighty-fire cells, builtoi iron. The exterior oi the building is to be of cut

■tone.

The above item fell into the hands of a News reporter yesterday afternoon, and an hour or so was spent In ascertaining what truth there was in it, with the following success: A call at the office of Mr. Gibson, in Fletcher A Sharpe’s building, discovered the full board of county commiasioners behind locked doors ia close study of the plans prepared by Messrs. Rowe and Gibson. A knock at the door and the reporter was admitted. “I understand,” said the reporter, “that the Marion county jail is to be built by Mr. Gib-

son?”

“Well,” said Mr. R«my, “that is hardly decided yet. We will finish with these details in a few days and by Saturday this matter will be decided. Wouldn’t you like to see the plans?” To which invitation the reporter assented and was conducted into au adjoining room by Mr. Rowe, where several large tables w ere covered with drawings of various sizes and colors, which Mr. Rowe said was “the

new jail.”

The building, as now intended, is to be of cut stone, classic in style, 100 feet long and of equal depth, three stories in height and to be erected where the present jiyl now stands. The plan is what is commonly called the “star plan,” and consists of three wings, extending from a center building something in the shape of a fourcornered star. It will contain eigh'y-tour iron cells. Between the court house and the jail there is a partially completed tunnel which will be finished, when prisoners can be conveyed from one building to the other, underground. The main entrance will be on A labama street. The present jail will be used until the wings of the new one are built, when it w ill be torn down and the new one finished. The first floor of the proposed structure will contain the offices of the sheriff and turnkey, a private Foom, a lawyers’ consultation room and a public reception room, which will be located in the center or main room of the building. Each of these wings will be fitted up for the male adult prisoners, and the entire length of each wing can be seen from the reception room. On the second floor, main building, there are the sleeping and diningapartmeuls of the attaches of the jail. The wings are devoted to younger and more tractable prisoners. The third floor, main room, is divided into separate hospitals for male and female prisoners. And the center wing is devoted exclusively to female prisoners. On the second floor there is a large room intended for those who are rent to jail for contempt of court. That all the cells should be constructed of iron, when the improvements in modern building had demonstrated that the stone cells were better in every respect, cheaper, and more healthful, struck the reporter as being a little singular, and Mr. Rowe was asked to explain. “VVell,” said he, “You see if a person was to cut his way through a stone cell, it would be much more difficult to repair the injury than if he were to cut through an iron cell. I don’t know but that I prefer stone, but the commissioners prefer

iron.”

“Are you in partnership with Mr.Gibson?” “Only in this jail job, when this is finished I will go back to my own office.” Hating concluded the examination of the drawings, Mr. Rowe Bed the reporter back into the presence of the commissioners, when all work was suspended for a moment and the situation was discussed. Said Mr. Rubush, in answer to an inquiry as to whether there bad been any competition, “N'o campetition. We didn't want any. We have seen competitions; the state house competition. for instance, (no mention was made of the Washington, Noblesville and Lebanon competitions) and we have learned something. No, sir; if you want to get into a pretty muss you just let two or three hundred architects loose at you with plane and specification*. We don’t want a competition exhibit.” Said Mr. Remy: “Your paper is,against a jail and in favor of a reduced taxation. We will reduce taxes if we do build a jail, and also if we don’t It wont make ■ny difference one way or the other. We wouldn’t think of building this jail, if we didn't have the money on hand to do it with. We have no debts beside our bonded indebtedness, which bears eight per cent, interest and is not due until 1881 and after. That we qpn’t pay until it is due. v\ e have saved enough money 1“ . on ® to pay for this jail-in the care of the poor of Marion county- lou hear, he continued, “a good deal of abuse hoaped upon us because we allowed that bill for collecting delinquent taxes that never would have been paid if those gentle-

men (Fant, Momrlty, Hanna et al) hadn’t hunted it up. I tell _ you w» will make enough out of that to pay for the jail. Then, labor and material are cheap now; cheaper than ever before, and cheaper, probably. than they will ba toon again. Why, thera are lota of quarrymen In this state who will give us the atone and only charge ns for digging, cutting and hauling it here, they are so anxious to keep their quarries going. Youcan lay atone down in buildinga at 35 cents a solid foot, when five years ago it would have cost $2.?5 s foot. After we get the jail built the people will be proud of it and you won’t hear anv growls.” •Vat bonded debt”putin Mr. Woman, who had been a quiet listener up to this point, “is not due until 1881; it bears eight per cent, interest and we can’t pay it until it falls due. The holders of it won’t surrender it upon the payment of the face. They want their interest.” “The jail,” interrupted Mr. Remy, “will be begun just as soon as the weather will permit. We have hired these young men to prepare plana for us, acd if we like them we will employ them to build it for ns. Yes, we will have some competition, we will advertise for bidf for material furnished. You will know all about that this week some time.”

EVANGELISTIC WORK. Needham and Caae Teoterda*—The Blood and the Reface. Yesterday began the seventh week of Mr. Needham’s services, yet the audience room was filled at the 4 o’clock meeting. The desire to be instructed in the word of God has been constantly growing among the believers, and great spiritual strength must attach to those who have been so faithful in their attendance upon these readings. The topic yesterday, “The blood,” was one which has been somewhat in controversy among a certain class of Christians. As to the prominence which should be given it, Mr Needham proved clearly from God’s word that it had always been placed in the foreground by the Holy Spirit, not only as the great theme of the word, but as the only available sacrifice. It was the scarlet cord which held the bible together; if broken, the book would fall Ur pieces. Mr. Case sang, “He that beiieveth hath life.” The evening service was devoted to the consideration of the “cities of refuge.” Mr. Needham said there were two kinds of refuge—the true and false. There was but one true refuge and many false. He would speak ! of the true and take up the false at the next service. The cities of refuge were six in number, and their names were symbolical of Christ. “Kadesh,” holy or righteous, points to Christ as the one in whose righteousness we must take refuge; “Schechem” means strength endured with power—Christ has all prwer: “Hebron” is fellowship; the man slayer had fellowship with the Levites there, so the sinner, renouncing all hope in the world, has fellowship with Christ; “Bezer,” fortress or security. Jesus is a fortress, all are secure in him. beneath us are his everlasting arms. “Ramoth” means exalted. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and Savior. “Golan” .is the way of safety. Christ is the way, the truth and the life. God has erected a city of refuge; he has sent word of the danger behind, of safety before. The way has been cleared, no obstacles ; it is a plain route; there are many cross-roads, but the finger posts of the word keep us on the track. The gate is open night and day. It won’t do to simply believe, you must run; no time for picking up flowers; philosophizing and theorizing are dangerous; the avenger is onjthe track, his sword is drawn; unless you flee it will be too late. Mr. Case sang “Too late.” The meeting at tho association rooms at 8:30 p. m. was well attended. Mr. Munhall led, Mr. Case having charge of the singing. A number of men gathered in from the streets and were interested in the news of salvation. These meetings for mea only, will be continued every m-bt, commencing at 8:30. Sei vices to-day as usual, 12 m., 4, 7, and 7 :S0 p. m. Last night there was a good audience at Olive Branch Christian church, and Mr. Blount preached a very forcible sermon on “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” He will preach again this evening. Prayer-meeting will be held at 7 o’clock. At Edwin Ray M. E. church there have been 265 accessions since the meetings that are now in progress began. The southside appears to be waking up. A very satisfactory series of meetings is being held at Coburn street church. •

POOL STATISTICS.

Some Valuable Tables of Freight Shipmeats Collected by the Pool Commissioner. Pool Commissioner Pierson has preparea a series of tables oi statistics covering the operations of the east bound pool since its organization, and their contents is a matter of public interest. lir November there were 44,340>£ tons of freight hauled through this city, bringing to the railroad companies a total revenue of $263,936.07. In December there were 36,726tons hauled, which brought a revenue of $208,907.52. In January the tons hauled aggregated 37,299and the revenue was $198,371.83. For the month of January Mr. Pierson has prepared an analytical statementof eastbound freight forwarded by the pooled lines from this city. This table will be compiled every month during the present year, and will furnish some very valuable statistics at the end of that time. The following is a synopsis of it: Foi warded 586 tons of merchandise,21,7% tons, of grain*, 3,631 of flour, 1,086 of lumber, 181 of stares, 878 of cotton, 229 of bran, mill feed and middlings, 6,536 of meat, 348 of starch, 1,286 of lard, 33 of poultry, $ of third class, and 695 of fourth class. Total tons, 37,2993^. Statement showing tons ot east bound freight forwarded from Indianapolis from November 1st to November ;:0th, 1878, inclusive, giving destinations: Boston 11,777K, New York, 18.162M, Philadelphia 7.069)i'. Baltimore 6,064; total 43,Q73}4. Of this amount 5,134% went over the I. P. & 18,339% over the C. C. C. A IL, 16,138% over the P. C. & St. L., 1,610% over the C. H. & I., and 1,850,% over the I. C. & L. Terminal percents: Boston27.4, New York 42.1, Philadelphia 16.4 and Baltimore 14 1. Statement frpm December 1st to November 31st, inclusive: Boston 7,630, New York 15,057%, Philadelphia 10,177%, Baltimore 3,330%, Interior 331%: total: tons 36,727%. Terminal per cents.: Boston 20.5, New York 41, Philadelphia 27.7, Baltimijre 9,9, .Interior .9. Statement from January 1st to January 31st, inclusive: Boston 7,036, New York 14,640, Philadelphia 4,647. Baltimore 10,622. Ulterior 354%; total, 37,299%, Terminal per cents.: Boston 18.9, New York 39.03, Philadelphia 12.5, Baltimore 28,4, Interior .9. It will be a matter of interest to note the variations in the distribution of the Indianapolis freight. During the mosth of November Boston w as second ou the list, with 27.4 per cent, of freight carried. In December Boston had dropped to 20.5, with third place in the list, and iu January she had fallen to 18.9. In December Philadelphia came l 27.7 per cent, and in January only 12.5, while in December Baltimore only carried 9 9 per cent, but in January shejis credited with 28.4 per cent

Tho Citizens’ Gas Company Sul*. Thera is some sort of negotiation in progress between the parties to the suit for a receiver for the Citizens’ gas company, but what it tends to the attorneys decline to state. This much is known: that during the progress of the suit, while testimony was being taken by the commissioner, Mali Ion S. Frost sold his bonds to Chicago parties, unknown to his attorneys, Messrs, fclaypool, Newcomb and Ketcham leaving them in the lurch ou their coet bond and for

fees.

pons filed in the court this morning. Dye A Harris, who represent the Chicago bondholders, state that an abandonment of the case is

not contemplated.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

Di.ca.aton to the ■—to mm Legaltotag Act*—The toward-Miers Contest Settled to the Henee—The Board of hherUTs Guests,

When the senate met yesterday afternoon, Mr. Kent called up his bill to enable owners of wet lands to drain the same. The entire afternoon was taken np with speeches by Messrs. Kent, Menziea and Reeves, and then the bill waa made the special ordar for next Monday. to-dat’b aaasiOH. The lieutenant governor took the chair. Prayers were uttered by Rev. Myron W. Reed. The"secretary’s urinates of yesterday’s proceedings were read and approved, t Mr. Folwer offered a resolution, which was adopted, authorizing the committee on benevolent institutions to send for persons and papers. Also a resolution requesting officers of all benovolent and reformatory institutions to furnish a list of employes; their compensation, whether relatives of any person in authority, etc., which was also adopted. On motion by Mr. Harris the senate proceeded to the consideration of senate bills on the second reading: The bill [s. 12, Mr. Harris] concerning the trial of civil causes in circuit and superior courts, was read the second time and ordered engrossed for the third reading. The bill (s. 14, Mr. Kahlo’s) to legalize the annexation of certain territory to the town of Logansport, waa read the second time with a favorable report from a special committee, substituting a new bill, which was numbered s. 379, with the same title. Mr. Reeve made a long speech in opposition to this class of curative legislation, warning members against retroactive bills in general and all propositions' that may in the remotest manner affect vested rights. Mr. Viehe, being a member of the committee to which this bill was referred, felt it a duty to say a few words in behalf of the relief songht for. Mr. Hefron indicated his opposition to the measure, and moved the reference of the report and bill to the judiciary committee. Mr. Kahlo, as the author of the bill, said but a few words in favor of its passage. Mr. Treat understood the act passed two years ago exempting from taxation for city purposes farming lands within the boundaries of incorporated towns, was intended to meet such cases, and that some of these parties desired to get rid of taxes assessed prior to the passage of that act. Mr. Harris inquired of the special committee which mads this report, if the court at Logansport has pronounced judgment in this care? Mr, Viehe, a member of the committee referred to, was understood to say that the validity of the conversation was not involved in a case passed upon by the court. Mr. Reeve, in his seat, was understood to say the court was to have rendered judgment in this case last Saturday. Mr. Harris was not iu favor of the passage of legalizing acts as a general thing, but if the people residing on this territory have considered themselves as part of of the city of Logansport, and have received benefits thereby, and have sent a representative to the common council, they should be included as part of the city, and he would vote to concur in the report of the committee. Mr. Streight stated the custom to be where special legislation is asked for by any member for his particular locality.it is generally granted, because it is to be supposed their immediate representative is advised ^s advised as to what his people want; and in that view of the case he proposed to vote with the senator from Cass (Mr. Kahlo) on this bill. The motion to refer to the judiciary committee was rejected. The report of the committee was concurred in by yeas 32, nays 12, and the bill reserred to the committee on corporations. Hooso. After having two bills introduced by Mr. Herod, the house adjourned, haring cleared the table. to-day’s suasion. The house of representatives, this morning, was opened with prayer and proceeded at once to the call for reports from committees. The bills 386, to exempt growing crops from execution until matured; 402 for improvmeuts in streets and alleys; 202 authorizing towns to exact a license for the sale of intoxicating liquors; 561 regulating hedges and fences along highways; 317 iu relation to plank or other toll roads; 64 to preserve the highways and abolish the office of supervisor; 243 defining the further duties of county commissioners; 158 to regulate settlements made by county commissioners; 132 for the settlement of decedents’s estatef without administrator; 38 regulating breechy animals and partition fences; 174, amending the' provoke law; 58, declaring against attorney’s attorney’s fees in notes, bills of exchange, etc.; 126, against foreign insurance companies carrying their claims in the supreme courts; were severally reported on favorably aud ordered to the engrossment. The committee on elections returned a unanimous report in favor of the sitting member in the contested election case of Wm. B. Seward vs. It. W. Miers. The report was concurred in without debate. Mr. Gordon introduced a bill [H. R. 542] regulating the price of board for prisoners in the county jail, confined there for offences against the state—30 cents a day in cities of 30,000 inhabitants or more and 5* cents iu smaller counties. The constitutional rule was suspended, and the bill read the second time.

IMPROPER MARRYING. Prevention Not Punishment. To the Editor of The Indianapolis News. The bill of Senator Reeve, as it is now, will be something worse than futile. It can do no good if it does not prevent marriages of persons unfit to precreate. To punish- them after marriaare—after children are born, is a viciously misdirected eflort. Every effort should be at prevention. To make this effective the applicant should be required to prove to the satisfactiofi of the clerk, or of some competent body or person who issues the license, by medical testimpny and other testimony that the blood of neither party is tainted. This is a troublesome point, for the clerk may be deceived, but if he is deceived and a license is given to idiotic, syphilitic, scrofulous, or otherwise unfit persons, to marry, and they do marry, what good will come of punishing them, and how will punishment be beneficial. Senator Reeve is evidently a man above the average advanced man. Let him not put any more ineffectual law s in the statute book. F.

Tbe O. A M. B. R. Caae. Robert Garrett, by Harrison, Hines k Miller, filed a petition in the United St^es court this morning, reciting that he had been elected trustee of the second mortgage bonds of the Ohio and Mississippi railroad by a majority of the holders thereof, vice Odell, deceased, and praying that he may be admitted to the case as a trustee with Allen Campbell. The petition also asked that an order be issued against the O. A M. road, and said Campbell to show cause within 30 days, why the petition should not be granted. "The petition is held over to allow the attorneys for the other parties to examine it!

Bvron Kennedy, James Poe and Augustas L. Spencer were tried by Mayor Caveu this morning on a charge of occupying A stall in the East Market space without license. Poe and Kennedy were arrested last week for selling unwholesome meat. Both cases are under advisement.
