A resolution was passed in the house enabling the committee, appointed yesterday to consider the charges of cruelly by the management of the reformatory for women and girls towards the inmate*, to send for persons and papers. Dr. Edwins, of Madison, is chairman of the committee. He states he has understood that in the punishment of inmates for infractions of discrimination is made who are criminals and those in the institution for reformatory purposes. He has also heard that exeemiva us* is made of the “shower-
bath.”
Representative Gardner, of Lawrence county, has introduced a bill which looks to the granting of the right to mining and manufacturing corporations of other states to hold mining and other property in the state on equal terms with similar home oorparations. "This law is especial ly needed, says Dr. Gardner, "in ray own county Of Lawrence, where tie mining and quarrying interests are very large.’' Senator Leeper, of St Joseph, at the instance of the public school teachers of South Bend, has brought forward a bill to license teachers with special reference to ther qualification to teach in particular grades. As the law now is teachers in primary grades must stand an equal exami nation with those in high grades, and the result is that tbe fonnsr grow rusty in the higher branches. Senator Bischowsky contemplates the establishing of a state board of school books in a bill introduced by him this morning. It recommends that the board select the school books, and when no books can be had for specific purposes to employ competent persons to prepare them. It also provides against a change in text books more frequently than once in ten years. The question of the liability of employ,ers for accidents to their employes will be brought up this winter. A bill ’ specifying the circumstances under which an employer is liable, and the liability of employers for injuries sustained from tbe carelessness of co-employes, has been offered by Mr. Carter in the house. Mr. Carter of Marion has a bill before the House which provides that in cases where deeds given in tax sales shall afterwards be set aside, the penalty shall be ten per cent, instead qt twenty-five per cent as the law now provides. A clause of the bill also repeals the section authorising private
sales.
Mr. Meredith, of Orange, offered a resolution in the house that James Greeman, of Noble county, "a soldier who lost his arm in the war for the union/' be appointed, to succeed Mr. Hoover, who has resigned as assistant door-keeper. The resolution
was adopted.

ladies who shall be paid $300 a year.
The house,this afternoon went into com,mittee of the whole, and referred the message of Governor Gray and the address of Governor Porter to the appropriate stand-
ing committees without debate.

the defects.

Report of the Treasurer of the Home for
the Past Tear. *
The report of Mrs. M. M. Todd, treasurer of the Home for FriendJessWomen, for the year 1880, submitted to the board of managers, shows the receipts to have been $1,727.02, and the expenditures $1,617.34, leaving a balance on hand of $109.$8. Mrs.
Todd says:
Adults one hundred and sixty-three, and forty-one children have been provided for during tbe year. Forty-two of these adults are now seli-supporting and living respectable lives. Thirty-two young girls have been restored to parents and Mends, grateful and happy that they have been snatched as brands from the burning. Fifty were transient persons; four were sent to the county asylum; “four were expelled for bad conduct. Twenty were sent to the city hospital, suffering from various diseases, and no home to be sick in. Six infants have died. Three infants have been sent to the orphan asylum. Thirty-two children went with their mothers to homes or to employment in families. Eighteen
adults remain in “the home.”
Ours is ever the same report of suffering, desertion and sin. Our sex the victims. Wives and children left destitu te, while husbands and fathers go where they please, careless of those they have abandoned. We shelter them fora season, find homes or employment for them and their worse than orphan little ones. The widow and her fatherless children claim protection and sympathy. The seducer, after promises almost as binding as the marriage vow, deserts his victim, leaving her to drift he cares not whither. We open our door to the poor deceived ones, many of than under 20, some not 15 years of age, most of them motherless. We hear their tearful story, see them suffer mentally and physically as only woman can suffer, held up to reproach and scorn, while their destroyers, old and young men, go free, introdfuced into good society, caressed and honored, apparently without a thought or
care of their terrible crime.
The board of managers again thank their many friends for help in time of need. We have had some very dark days during the past year. Some say we have a large house and few in it. True, but we have cared for all that we could provide for by the strictest economy. We will not contract debts without a reasonable prospect of paying in proper time. We commence our fourteenth year trusting to the guidance of Him who has led us hither to and blessed our imper-
fect work.
The following officers of the board of trustees 1 e been elected; J. H. Vajen, president; J. H. Kappes, vice president; W. S. Hubbard, treasurer; D. E. Snvder, auditor; A. Merrill, secretary.
Railroad News. The earnings of the I. B. & W. for 1880 were $1,225,259 against $1,151,571 in 1879. The road bed of the I. & St. L. road is to be put in a first class condition at once. The freight receipts of the Vandalia load at tiie depot in this city for December were $111,061.08. The I. B. A W. is receiving this week its second thousand tons of steel rails under a late contract. It is announced that the higher officials of the C., C., C. & I. and the I. & St. I* roads will meet’in this city about the 1st of February to take definite action on tho building of a new ireight depot. Indianapolis merchants are making heavy shipments over the I. A V. road to reach points on the line of the Springfield and Southeastern narrow gauge road, which extends from Switz City, Indiana, to Effingham, Illinois. The average cost of maintaining a switch engine and crew on the roads of this city is $23.50 per day. There are thirty-seven engines in service during the day, and twen-ty-one at night, so that the entire cost of maintaining these engines is $1,363 per day. Tiie Last on the Asylum Contracts. John Pishback, Esq., president of the provisional board of the Insane Ays’.um, rises to-day to state his side of the John Martin and Baker, Smith A Co. contracts. The old board he says employed three experts and the superintendent to make four estimates of the brick work, and on their report made out a settlement sheet upon which Mr. Martin drew all the money allowed him, but refused to receipt in full. The new board coming in took this as a settlement, and have proceeded upon that basis ever since. Mr. Martin at first claimed that about $10,000 was due him, but, after remeasuring, claimed about $80,000. The board, holding that the previous settlement was good, or at least that it wa* the business oi the old board and not the new to have made the settlement, declined to pay any part of the claim, and referred him to the legislature. In the heating apparatus case Mr. Fishback says the contract specifically stated that the work was to be complete in every respect, and the board held, under advice of the attorney-general, that it was not complete unless registers were furnished. Tho Bee Keeper's Convention. The Indiana Bee Keepers association met at the^agricultural society rooms this morning. There being a good attendance, of delegates.

Orear. of Hendricks county, was elected president, who accepted the place with thanks. Frank Daug herty, of Marion county, was re-elected secretary unanimously. Isaac N. Cotton, of Marion county, was elected treasurer. The sessions of the convention will continue this evening and to-morrow. Senator McDonald’s Marriage.

They are the only class of folks that newer diet, and you never knew one to quit eating If there was anything left within three miles of them to est What you feed a pig would keep 8 in a family; but I don’t mean a family of pigs. Most pigs are round,with legs on the under aids when they stand up or down. Pigs bathe often, as the water they use makes them dirty; so they are obliged to do so often. I don’t think pigs enjoy good health, as they are always grunting. Some pigs are bigger hogs than others, bat it Is not the biggest pig in size, that Is the (biggest hog. All pigs is good for alive, is to sell. Pigs don't gambol as much as sheep, so that is the reason, pisbably, sheep are respected most. If a pig gambols with sheep and has a streak of poor luck (or lean) he will squeal the first, always. J. A. McKenzie, the one-price clothier, says a sheep that will gambol with a pigs could not sell him one pound of its wool to make clothing of. as one such fleece would ruin his stock.
