CITY COUNCIL IN CONCLAVE.

Smallpox Patients Convalescing, and Conlagion Disappearing.

Miscellaneous Hatters.

Council met in regular session. Presp»t, a full Board. Presiding, His Honor M:»yor Thomas. Clerk Bchwingrouber, record clerk. Bills were presented, read and allowed as follows: Police Force, V® IS Win. McMinamia, Hudson fe Rose, 48 00 Jas. Dubler, Jo5. Baker 12 50 S. Eaton, -•5 Board of Equalization, 1* "0

Martin Hollinger presented a test bill of fees in appealed city cases at a previous meeting, which was at that time referred to the Committee on Accounts, which committee reported favorable to payment, not understanding that it was but a test. Upon the Mayor making a statement of facts in the premises, the bill was again referred to the same committee, and the committee was authorized to call on the City Attorney for a legal opinion.

S. H. Potter and F. B. Johns presented a petition to the effect that they be not required to tear up their cement side" walks, as per ordinance of City Council, ordering the paving of South Sixth street with brick. Petitioners represented that they had gone to great expense to construct the walks that they now have that they are all that can be desired at the present, and would be as good if not better than brick for sometime yet. The Mayor corroborated the truth of the statement set forth in the prayer of the petitioners. On motion, the petition was referred to the Committee on Streets and Bridges.

A. H. Lukin's petition, in the matter of the opening of south Fourth street, and one or more proposed alleys, was referred to the same committee.

J. L. Humaston, and over one hundred others, presented a petition for the filling up of the old canal lock, at the corner of Chestnut and Second streets, and the general improvement of that locality, which was represented by Mr. Bridenthal, who offered the petition, as as an eye-sore to all citizens who dislike to see such places in our city, and a disgrace to the town. Referred to the Committee on Streets and Bridges.

Barney Lamb offered a bid, in the form of a petition, to pay the city the sum of $5 per annum, for the next five years, for the privilege of hauling away the dead animals of the city. After considerable discussion as to the Council's'.right to go back on the bid of Mr. W. H. Lake, adopted at the previous regular meeting, action in the premises was deferred until next meeting, to see whether Lake fulfils his contract.

J. F. Rodell petitioned for the privilege of constructing a wooden awning on the corner of Ohio and First street referred to the Committee on Fire Department.

The City Clerk was instructed to make out to Mrs. Daniel Corbin a deed to a lot in the city cemetery, which document she had lost. This pursuant to her petition.

Geo. A. Hayward fe Co. prayed for permission to construct a cellar stairway in their Fourth street front. Referred to the Board of Public Improvements.

Mr. Crawford, from the Committee on Finance, reported an ordinance fixing the rate of taxation for the year 1872, as follows For general purposes, 70 cents for payiug interest and providing for the redemption of bonds issued to the

E.,

H. & C. Railway, 15 cents for paying interest, etc. on the water works bonds, 8 cents.

Mr. Whitaker, offered an amendment that a special tax of seven cents be added for repairs of streets and draining the city.

An animated discussion was here had on the matter of repairing streets, as to the powers of the Street Commissioner.

Messrs. Whitaker and Clift thought there were a great many streets in the outskirts of the city needing the grading fixed by the city and properly graded that the water might be run off tbe premises of the property owners and off' the streets. For. this the appropriation of 7 per cent, to the tax ordinance was asked.

Jlr. Orawfoj| thought the Street Com

missioner did not discharge the duties of his position to the extent of tbe power vested in him by the ordinance.

Mr. Bridenthal thought the penalty, if there be one, attached to the ordinance regulating the cleaning of streets, and prescribing the powers of the Street Commissioner, should be enforced.

After some further discussion, during which time Mr. Clift made the report from the Board of Equalization, on mo tion of Miller the ordinance of Mr. Crawford, and the entire matter suggested by the amendment of Mr. Whitaker, was laid over until the next meeting, for careful investigation on the part of the members, that the Council might act intelligently in the premises.

Mr. Clift, from the Committee on Fire Department, offered a resolution to the effect that the resolution of the Council for the purchase of a new engine be rescinded stated that it would be three months before the place of No. 1 could be supplied from the Rhode Island manu factory, and that the repairs on No. 1 could be made at the Vandalia shops in this city anyhow. The resolution was adopted.

Mr. Whitaker's resolution, ordering tbe grading and cindering of a portion of Thirteenth street, was adopted.

Mr. Whitaker, from the same committee—Streets and Bridges—asked further time to consider the question of guttering and repairing the crossing of Eighth and Mulberry streets. Granted.

The petition of the draymen was granted, on motion of Mr. Whitaker. Mr. Whitaker asked an appropriation of $270 for the repairing of streets. Voted.

Mr. Whitaker, from the Committee on Streets and Bridges, offered a resolution ordering the City Engineer to stake the grade of sidewalks and gutters from Chestnut street on North Fifth street to tbe Vandalia Railroad, and that the Street Commissioner is hereby ordered to give proper notice to property owners and proceed immediately to do the work and collect for the same. On a call for the ayes and noes, tbe resolution was unanimously adopted.

Mr. Bridenthal, from the special committee to which was referred the matter of the abandonment of Tyler street for rolling mill purposes, reported favorable to the abandonment. Report adopted.

Mr. Whitaker, from the Committee on Cemetery, asked an appropriation for various purposes. Appropriation granted.

M. W. O'Connell, Sexton of the Catholic Cemetery, reported eight interments in that burying ground for the month of May.

Mr. Whitaker offered a resolution instructing Market Master Vickery to forbid the use of Fourth street, north of the engine bouse, to venders of vegetable and other marketable articles. Adopted.

By the same, Be it resolved that the Market Master open the market by ringing his bell at 4 o'clock A. M., and close at 9 A. M., on regular market days. On Saturdays, from 2:30 P. M. to 7:30 P. M. Adopted.

Mr. Whitaker offered a resolution that the City Engineer establish the grade on Thirteenth street, between Poplar and Main. Adopted.

City Attorney Rumsey reported a written legal opinion, favorable to the taxation of not only a portion, but all the St. Agnes Hall property, the same having been abandoned for the purposes for which it was originally exempted from taxation, and being increasing in value daily. Report concurred in.

The Mayor made a verbal statement,in substance, that tbe progress made on the pest house the fact that the Sisters of Charity—three in number—had volunteered their services to take charge of the same, with the privilege of selecting their own male assistants. This the Board of Health had granted them. That there are at present but 15 caces of smallpox and varioloid in the city, seven or eight of which are about ready to resume business that Meyer's brewery is at present free from the contagion and that from present indication?,with proper precaution on the part of all, the day is not far distant when we shall be free from the fatal and fearful malady I thought there had been entirely too much excitement about it, anyhow.

Mr. Hook, by consent, stated that he had charge of the construction of tbe pest-house that it had been delayed somewhat because workmen could not be secured to work so near tbe old pesthouse, where are confined patients afflicted with the contagion that the concern will be completed by this (Wednesday) evening, if too many additions are not required by those having the patients in charge would be completed by tomorrow (Thursday) noon at the farthest. Tbe well bad been abandoned by the workmen Wednesday (yesterday) afternoon for some reason, just as they were about to strike water.

At the close of Mr. Hook's remarks, the Council voted that the well, when completed, should be supplied with a windlass, instead of a pump.

Patrick Curley was awarded the bid of grading the alley in the rear of tbe Centenary M. E. Church, he offering to do it for 44 cents, Voorhees & Cox's bid standing 56 cents per lineal foot.

Mr. Clift, from the committee to which was .referred tbe extension of the city limits on tbe northeast, reported progress, and asked further time. Adjournment.

THE

Chicago Tribune editorially says: Should the convict, James Canedy, just arrested for the murder of Hon. Sharon Tyndale, be convicted, it will be a serious blow to the detectives, who, some months

&g*,

abandoned tbe case as hopeless. This detective business is more or less a fraud anyhow. They have entirely too much credit for their achievements in arresting criminals, and too little for their leaguing with them and sharing th6 spoils. Business men in the larger oities afe painfully aware of this fact. Of course we don't mean to say this of the profession generally but of very jgan^ of its mem bers,- so-c&ll^d,

MR. MATRON HILL

THE

and his bride, of

Chicago, who have been visiting their brother, Rev. James Hill, in this city since Saturday, left for their home yesterday.. They were accompanied by Robert A. Hill, who returns to his Chicago home to re-establish his law office and library, destroyed by the great conflagration last fall. They represent Chicago as rising rapidly from its ruins and swiftly assuming its former vast grandeur—and grandiloquence.

Indianapolis Journal editorially

pays the Terre Haute Journal the following fully deserved compliment: The Terre Haute Journal has'qnit politics and turned its attention to literature. Tbe editorial page of Tuesday's issue had no other reading matter than a portion, and only a portion, of the tale of the Rival Sisters. It was good reading as far as it went.

Better reading than theeditorial column has contained of late

THE

Indianapolis Journal editorially

says The Terre Hautentots are at last fully convinced that their handsome city is a "point," the latest evidence, proudly pointed to, being the selection of one of Us most prominent citizens as President of the Indianapolis Fair Association.

They were convinced of this fact loug since. This only increases the force of their previous convictions.

A WALKING match for a purse of $100, wherein the contestant is to walk one hundred consecutive hours, without sleep or rest, on a plank three feet wide eighteen feet in length, and raised two feet from the floor, will be the event in thfs city, of the 25th iust. This will occur at the Vandalia Saloon, on Main street Next.

THE

Springfield, Illinois Register says: The counties of Jasper, Lawrence and Crawford have instructed their delegates to the Congressional Convention (without any second choice) to vote for the Hon. James C. Allen.

The Hon. James C. Allen resides at Palestine, is a very able politician and gives his strength for Greeley and Brown.

causes a common grief among the better portion of thecommuniy, that the smallpox does not seize upon the free lunch fiends, roosters and "sich." By tbus doing, the dread contagion might prove a benefit rather than a grevious nuisance.

VANDALIA

THE

engine reversed steam,

at the Union depot, Indianapolis, yes terday, with such vigor that the bystanders were deluged with water liberally mixed with cinders. Profanity and baths were in order for some hours after wards.

circusers pitched their tent south

of the Terre Haute House this forenoon. Their gorgeous musical chariot paraded the streets meanwhile, drawn by ten richly caparisoned white steeds, making a magnificent appearance and excellent music.

MAJOR WOOD,

Superintendent of the

Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railroad, is still absent at Louisville and Cincinnati When he returns, he and his bride will go to housekeeping in tbe residence of James Ross, Esq., who, with his family, will soon go East to spend the summer.

A NUMBER of citizens published a card in the Journal yesterday morning, putting forward the name of Marcus Scboemehl for County Commissioner. That gentleman declines the honor in a card published in the same publication this morning.

THERE

never has been a City Clerk in

this city of whatever political party, more courteous to the press, faithful and efficient in the discharge of the duties of his position, than Mr. Frederick Schwingrouber.

the absence of the regular political editor and the presence of as much else as we can do, we "edit" his columns with an article from the New York Tribune on the coal and iron interests of Indiana.

THE Greeley depression is not yet over. The Court-Honse is still mournful as a pesthouse.—Express.

Most likely it is much more mournful than it was no later than last Saturday about 1 P. M.!

OMISSION CORRECTED.—In

our list ot

teachers published yesterday morning, the name of Miss Adah L. Tolbert was accidentally omitted. Miss Tolbert was re-elected to fill her present position in the Second Ward house, with a small increase of salary.—Journal.

JOHN PETER CLEVER SHANKS

renominated for Congress by the Republicans of the Muncie District, yesterday.

The Tyudale Murder.

Deputy Sheriff Elliot, arrived on Saturday night with James Kennedy, who is charged with complicity in the Tyndale murder. This morning, Kennedy was brought before Justice Wood for examination. He is a trim-built mau, of five feet eight, or nine inches high, dark eyes and hair, and Ijas the appearance of having been a soldier. A mole on the right cheek will aid in his identification. The examination was postponed until July 30, when it. is said he expects to prove an alibi. On the other hand it is understood he will be clearly identified as one of the men who was seen in the neighborhood of the Tyndale residence the night, before the murder.—Springfield Register.^

THE

Philadelphia Grant Convention,

was presided over by an ex-officer of the rebellion* one Settle, of North Carolina. The Cincinnati Convention was presided over by an ex-officer of the Union army, General Schurz. The Grant Convention had in it, we should say, ten times more ex-rebel delegates than the Liberal Convention had. The Grant Convention yelled with delight at the harrangues of several ex-rebel politicians, while no such persons addressed the Liberal Couvension.

We do not make tbe slightest objections to any of these incidents or features of the Philadelphia Grant Convention. We only make note of the facts for the benefit of certain woodenheads who are evidently unaware M%^,h^m—^ineinnafi Commercial. itw" «•$ l-v"

LONDON,

June 19.—It is reported here

to-night that the programme durintr the discussion of the indirect claims of the Geneva Conference, will compel the retirement from Court of the British and American Embassadors. It is stated that the Court will then decide against the admissibility of the claims for consequential damages, and that the arbitration will then proceed in accordance with the treaty.

June 19.—A petition was

put in circulation at the Cotton Exchange yesterday, and was presented to the President, asking that a meeting be called to decide upon«4 he expediency of closing the Exchange from Wednesday, July 3d, to Monday, July 8th. A similar movement is on foot at the Stock Exchange.

NEW YORK,

June 19.—Advices from

Rio de Janerio state that the Grand Duke Alexis, on board the Russian frigate Svetana, accompauied by the Bagatiere, has arrived at that port from a lengthy cruise. The regular naval courtesies were exchanged, harbor salutes fired, and mails and dispatches landed. The Grand Duke and the officers and men of the fleet are reported in excellent health.

It is not unlikely that on a meeting of the Board Wednesday, an adjournment for several days will be agreed on, be cause the agents of both parties find that adjournment for one day does not afford sufficient time for transmission of their telegraphing to the Cabinet, the Americans being at greater disadvantage than the British, as communication must be sent from Geneva to London and thence to Washington. It is very evident, just now, that efforts are being made to affect an adjournment till next Hope, Earl Granville and Secretary week. ,,

Fish, may, in the meantime, arrive at some point of understanding so as to enable arbitration commence real work in the settlement of the Alabama claims case.

A Herald special from Geneva, dated the 18tn, says another busy day has been passed by th£,ageuts and counsel of the two contracting arbitrating powers, England and America. Shortly before 10 in the morning, SirRoundell Palmer visited Wm. M. Evarts, and repeated his visit in the afternoon. Both agents and counsel have been fully occupied, not only in seeing each other, but in receiving and torwarding lengthy dispatches.

The Herald's special from Madrid says that public affairs in Spain are in an alarming condition. There have been partial uprisings of the Republicans since the Conservatives proposed a Dictatorship under Serrano, with absolute power for bringing in and spending money and suspending the constitutional authority. Tbe Conservatives are enraged at the rejection of their proposals by the King, and say that the last attempt which will be made at forming a Conservative Ministry under His Majesty has been tried.

Marshall Serrano, it is said, will leave the country for England, departing from bis fellow citizens in disgust. Senor £agasta, it is alleged, will take his departure also and go to France. The Radicals are arming the population of towns.

meeting for the purpose of organizing a crack regiment in this city, was beid last evening. A number of our prominent military men were present, and preliminary arrangements were made.

The corner in oats collapsed yesterday, tbe price falling nearly 10 cents per bushel in two hours. P. R. Chandler, superintendent of the Union Stock Yards, this city, of the firm of Chandler, Pomeroy & Noyes, received information about a month ago, that there was no oats along the line of one of our Western railroads. Upon this information he must have jumped at the conclusion that the western country all over was equally bare. He commenced buying oats that were offered in this market at current prices. The holders finding him a willing buyer, ran the price up, to 40 and 41 cents per bushel. Mr. Chaudlerintended to ship the oats to New York, and the continued strength in that market see oaed to juBtify-tbeactionsr-Suddenly the New York market broke u'ndgr the "prospect of

liberal receipts and a heavy loss stared him in the face. The case as it now stands is as follows

There are 2,500,000 bushels of oats in store in this city, mostly held by the firm of Chandler, Pomeroy & Noyes, on which a decline of 10 cents per bushel has been suffered. The loss cannot be less than

at Rio $250,000, and may amount to more. The sole profit thus far is $25,000, received for priveliges.

CHICAGO,

LEBANON,

June 19.—The holy war,

between Rev. Charles Edward Cheney and Bishop Whitehouse, has come up in the courts again. The action, this time, is to restrain the wardens and vestrymen of Christ Church from paying Cheney any money from the revenue of the in church as salary and, also, from occupying the church or parsonage. The matter was argued yesterday before

in Oats at Chief Justice Williams, and will be continued to-day. The Common Council last evening passed a resolution to prohibit the burning of powder in any shape on the Fourth of July.

JERSEY CITY,

June 19.—Yesterday

afternoon the trial of Jas. Kavenangh and seven others, accused of attacking Robert Province in his saloon in Bay oune, on the 13th of^April, was brought to a close. The evidence showed that the men had attempted to kill Province and had nearly succeeded that he was an Orangeman, and that in the affray the leader of the gang used this fact to incite others to bloodshed. Judge Ran dolph charged strongly in favor of conviction, but thejury after an absence of two hours, rendered a verdict of acquittal. [Special dispatch to

The Court has limited the argument to nine hours and a half on a side, and the argument to occupy to-morrow and Thursday. The case will therefore go to thejury Thursday night or Friday morning.

ECCENTRIC ARTISTS.

Tbouias W»ine8bfrough.

John Buskin ranks this artist with Turner, in creative genius, and says he was the greatest colorist of the English school. His manner of execution was peculiar and strange. His biographer said the colors appeared to be laid on with a chip,

vso

shapeless, gaubby and

unmeaning, when seen near but at the proper distance all tbe incongruous patches melted and harmouized, bringing the picture into bold relief and expression. So proud was he, of this peculiarity, that he refused to send a picture to tbe exhibition, because the managers would not let it be hung where the spectator could get close to it. He was fond of music, and tried to play en various instruments." Hearing of a German professor, he ascended to his garrett found him diniug on roasted apples, and smoking bis pipe, with his theorbo beside him. "I am come to buy your lute name your price, and here's your money." "I cannot sell nay lute no, not for a guinea

two." "But you must sell

It, I tell yoot" "My lute is worth much qaoney—it is worth ten guineas." "Aye,

that it is see, here's the money." He took up the instrument, laid down the price, went half way down the stairs, and returned. "What is your lute worth, if I have not vour book?" "What book, Master Gainsborough?" "Why,your book of airs, which you composed for the lute." "Ah, sir, I can never part with my book." "Poh you can make another any time this is the book I mean, so there's ten. guineas for it so once more, good day." He went down a few steps, and again returned. "What use is your book co me, if I don't understand it And your lute, you may take it again, if you won't teach me to plav on it come with me and give me my first lesson." "I will come to-morrow." "You must come now."
