LEGISLATURE.

•. SENATE. V'--Indianapolis March 21.

FEES AND SALARIES ONCE MORE. Senator Comstock offered an additional section to that part relating to auditor's fees: 'And the auditorshalidraw from the treasury no money cxccpt foi his salary and his per cent lor the care ?f the school fund." The amendment was decided out of order on the grounds that the same subject matter had been previously pass upon.

Senator Wood moved to reconsider the vote by which section 24 of the bill, relating to the auditor's fees, was adopted, and said in support of his motion that the Senate so far had only reduced the pay of auditors about $400 and he was in tavcr of a greater ludection. The motion to consider prevailed by a vote of 30 to 12.

Senator Wollen then offered an amendment providing that the auditor shall file ail papers and vouchers, for which he shall receive no compensation •with the exception of assessors and appraisers bla*ikf, for which he shall receive one cent each.

SHERIFFS' FEES.

The subject of sheriffs' lees was then taken up and the changes decided upon from the original bill are incorporated in the following items:

For tummoning a jury of twelve men, or a grand jury, with mileage as above (and in computing the mileage lor summoning said jurors ii shall be reckoned by computing the distance by the most usually traveled route from the court house to the residence of the juror who resides nearest to said court house, and then from said juror'6 residence to the residence of the juror residing nearest to the said first named juror, and so on until all 6hall be served), and the mileage shall be for only the distance necessarily and actually traveled, and mileage shall rot be allowed for more than one trip to summon said jurors. For summoning each juror as above, 25 cents. "Provided that he (the auditor) shall not receive any pay for filing assessment lists, appraisers' returns, county orders redeemed, road receipts, or receipts for any other vouchers."

Senator Burrell moved to strike out the provision. Senator Shirk moved to reject that motion, which was carried.

Senator Langdon offered a resolution in regard to this bill that no Senator speak more than once or longer than five minutes on any one question* which was adopted.

The President decided that the amendment previously offered by Senator Wollen was out of order.

The section as a whole was then adopted, and stands as originally reported by the committee, although twelve hours of desperate 6truggling,had been made to change it.

For every person committed to jail 20 cents. For discharging each person from ail, 2o cents.

For holding an inquisition and drawing it up in form, and returning the same,

O N IT I O N O E O N S TANTS-—THE NEXT MATCH NOT TO TAKE PLACE

MAY

The representatives of the four contestants in the late contest for the Astley belt met yesterday morning at the "stock exchange" cf Kelly o. Bliss. Ennis was the only one of the pedestrians present. The managers reported that the total receipts at the ticket ffice were $51,619 14 that $$,525 25 had been received for the bar, and $ 150 lor the concessions, 6uch as the Bohemian glass bloweis,the rifle range, et:. This niacin a total ot $54 294,37. The expenses had not been estimated, as bills for several liabilities had not been piented. It was thought that they would be about $13,000. It was also announced that during the last three day ol the contest the admission card had been counterfeited and that a great number of the bogus tickets had been taken at the doors. Mr. Skidd who is regularly in the box office at the Garden, said that when he found out that counterfeiters had been at work, he made an examinPtion of every ticket irfthe office. This he did in presence of Mr. Biiss, and the first result was the discovery that there were 413 moie tickets in the office than the regular printer had supplied. Closer examination' revealed twenty-seven counterfeits. Later an excellent imitation was discovered, and up to 5 p.

yesterday he felt certain that

there were at least 1,500 of these in the box. Mr. Skidd said that as a rule the cash receipts exceeded the tickets re turns, as persons leave change on the board. On Wednesday last when he counted up he was between $20 and $30 ahead, and on Saturday night he was $600 out. "The truth is," 6aid Mr. Skidd, "the attendance wa6 so much greater.than we anticipated that we were not prepared to meet the demands of the crowd. Here it was that the speculators did their business. Rather than wait for half an hour or more in a line many willingly paid 25 cents additional. I blame some of the speculators for the counterfeit tickets. There were only a few of them who purchased any number of jo-sent tickets, and during Friday and Saturday they sold on the street at the same price as in the box offices. I have no doubt that some of the ticket-takers stood in with the speculators. I have been told that one man admitted every one who came to him with half a dollar, and that he did an immense business. Of course, none of that money ever reached the ticket office."

Mr. Atkinson, when questioned on the subject, said that he was greatly surprised. His attention had been given to the walking, and he left the business arrangements entirely in the hands of the Americans. He had always heard that the YankeeB were smait people, but the way the business affairs had been managed did not bear out the assertion. In England such a thing would have been impossible. There every ticket is numbered. as on all the elevated railways here, and it is a matter of impossibility to cheat the ticket office. Last March, when O'Leary walked, the accounts came out £5 ahead. "Has it not been said that during O'Leary's contest there was a large amount of stealing done?" "It is true that O'Leary only brought $3,500 away from England, and it is also true that on the day of the contest there were fully 30,000 spectators present bu: they only paid one shilling admission, instead of a dollar as here. Then we had no Sunday night admissions, as the police would not permit it. We had a few on Monday, and until Friday there was a slim attendance during the day time. In the evenings there was a fair number present, but no such crowds as were in GilTore's Garden last week. There was little or no stealing done at this contest." "No, and there should have been none here" remarked Mr. Walton. "If it had been a private enterprise the tickets would have been properly protected and a better system would have been adopted." "Well, we can do nothing," said Enni6. "'Let the management prepare a full statement and then we will know precisely how we stand. I am anxious to leave for home."

It was finally decided to hold a meeting on Wednesday, at which a settlement might be reached.

Mr. Atkinson, in reply to a general question about Rowell's future movements, said that it was not all probable that Rowell would meet Weston on May 5, the date mentioned in Sir John Astley's dispatch announcing the challenge. Rowell wanted to see some-' thing of America before he returned home, and he had no wish to go into immediate training. "That will just suit me," said Ennis. 'I could not possibly compete tor the belt May 5, and I thing three months' delay not at all unreasonable." "Do you think your stomach will hold out if you go to England?" asked

Rowell spent yesterday in sight seeing and visiting friends. He has recovered from all ill affects, and says he fells* better than when he started. Harrim&n is rapidly improving. He was up and about'his hotel early yesterday morning, and will be about town to-day.

ffiE TERKE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

THE BOYHOOD OF A GREAT ENGINEER.

Colonel W. C. Church, editor of the Army and Navy Journal and late of the Galaxy, contributes to the April Scrib ner a notable and important paper on Ericsson, the engineer, inventor of steam fire engines, ttte screw propeller, the Monitor, etc*, etc., etc. Mr. Ericsson has heretofore so steadily avoided public mention that the present sketch will be to many the first adequate account of this interesting anj noble person. Mr. Church's paper, with its numerous illustrations, occupies nearly twenty-four pages of the magazine, and, the editor claims, is the fullest and most trustworthy account of the man who has, more than.any other inventor, affected the civilization of his age. As will be seen bv the following extract from the magazine, with Ericsson, as with others, "the child is father to the man"

Before he was eleven years old, during the winter of 1813, John had produced a saw-mill of ingenious construction, and had planned a pumping engine designed to clear the mines of water- The lrame of the saw-mill w& of wood, the sawblade was made from a watch spring, and the crank which actuated it was cast from a broken tin spoon. A file, borrowed from a neighboring blacksmith, to :ut the saw-teeth, a gimlet, and the ubiquious jack knife, were the only tools available for the work. A much more ambitious undertaking was the pumping engine. The year before, when only nine years of age, young Ericsson had made the acquaintance of drawing instruments in one of the draught offices of the grand ship canal of Sweden, and learned how these instruments were used to lay out the work of construction in advance. Meanwhile, his father bad removed to the depths of a pine forest where he selected the timber for the lock-gates of the canal In this wilderness, a quill and a pencil were the boy's utmost resources in the way of drawing tools. Like Crusoe on his island, he had to gin at the beginning. He made compasses of birch wood with needles inserted in the ends of the legs. A pair of steel tweezers, obtained from his mother's dressing case, were converted into a drawing pen, and the 6ame good mother was persuaded, after much entreaty, to allow, her sable cloak to be robbed of hair enough to provide material for twD 6mall brushes with which to apply the coloring at that time deemed essential in all mechanical drawings. The pumping engine was to be operated by a wind-mill, and here the youthful inventor was at fault. He had heard much about a wind-mill but had never seen one. Following, as well as he could, the description of those who had had the happiness to view this wonderful machine, he succeeded in constructing on paper the mechanism connecting the crank of the wind-mill shaft with the pump levers, but how to turn the mill to the changing wind he could not divine. Fortunately, John's father made a visit to thf wind-mill and, in describing what he had seen, spoke ©f a "ball and socket joint The hint was sufficient he boy rushed to his drawing table and had soon added a ball and socket joint where the connecting-rod for the driving crank joined the pump lever. With the execution of this drawing began John Ericsson's mechanical career. The plan con ceived and executed under such discouraging circumstances by a mere child at traded the attention of Admiral Count Piaten, the President of the Goiha Ship Canal, on which Ericsson's father was employed, and one of Sweden's great ljien. "Continue as you have begun and you will one day produce something ex traordinary," prophesied the count of his young protege. Richly has the prophecy been fulfilled.

Ericsson was appointed a cadet in the Swedish corps of mechanical engineers when he was twelve years old, was soon after promoted to nivelleur (leveler), and at the age of thirteen was put in charge of a section of the ship canal over which his friend, the count, presided. Six hundred of the royal troops, at work upon this section, looked for directions in their daily work to this child, among whose necessary attendants was one who followed after him with the stool upon which he stood to raise himself to the height of his leveling instruments. The amusements of this bov-en-gineer are indicated by his possession at the age of fifteen of a portfolio of drawings, made in his leisure moments, giving maps of the most important parts of the grand canpl, three hundred miles in length, and showing all the machinery and impliments used in its construction. Many important works upon this canal, which opens an inland channel across Sweden from the Baltic to the North Sea, were constructed from drawings made by Ericsson at an age when he might rather have been expected to be found playing foot-ball.

THE HIGH SCHOOL.

Delightful Entertainment by the Members of the Senicr Class.

Close ol the Winter Term.

Frjm Saturday's Daily.

For the last several vears the graduating or senior class cf the High school has given an entertainment in March, juet three months previous to the commencment exercises in June! In fact it is a sort of preparatory step to this important occasion. While it gives the students themselves an idea ot what they can, do before an audience it al-so affords an evaning of st pleasant enjjynient and profit. The winter term closed last evening in a manner that will not soon be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to have been present at the exercises.

The High*chool room was cornpletly packed at quite an early hour and when the innocent youth from the

Next was prayer by Rev. Bacon. Prof. Howard Sandison announced that the exercises that were about to follow represented the work done every morning in the school and that one object of the entertainment was to bring to our acquaintance a number of young ladies and gentlemen who are to complete the four years course next term.

Music, "Strike the Cymbal," by the class followed. The first literary exercise was an ess2y by Miss Ella Glick subject, "Lord Beaconsfield.'* As will readily be imagined this was a biographical sketch. It was well prepared, and delivered in clear tones that could be heard bv all.

The next was a reading, "Time's Changes," by Miss Alice Creager, who did full justice to her selection, as the applause that followed testified.

An essay by Miss Jennie Kelley, subject: "Joan D'Arc,'' was listened to with marked attention, and received a due allowance of applause.

Miss Lottie Demorest rendered an instrumental solo in exquisite style. Miss Lena Priest followed in a declamation of the famous "One Hoss Shay." The selection was committed with perfect accuracy and if any fault may be mentioned it is that it was delivered most to rapidly. The young lady has a good voice and the galleries at the Opera House will hear every word at the June commencement. "Sir W alter Scott" next received a glowing send-off by Miss Mamie Parker, who proved beyond all doubt that she has improved her time in the study of English Literature. Her manner was natural, her delivery good and nothing more can be said "Music and Her Sister Song," a duet by Misses Anna Zigler and Maggie Wilson was encored as should have been.

An essay, "Goldsmith and Colebridge Compared," by Miss Alice Boor, was one of the best written productions of the evening. It was delivered in a manner that seemed to make the audience anxious to hear every word and which reflects great credit of the talents of the authoress. "The present Political situation of the Leading Powers of Europe," was the subject of a very interesting essay l?y MissTena Cash. She proved most undoubtedly her knowledge nf eveiy-dav affairs transpiring on "the continent," and many "an old citizen" could have learned from the production. It treated, of course, of things not found in school books, which goes to show that while our young folks hold their own in the school room they also find time to keep pace of the times with current events Merited applause was given. "Listen to the Water Mill" a solo and chorus was next rendered, Miss Lena Priest acceptably singing the 90I0.

The next exercise was a discussion subject. "Which is the Most Benefit to his Country—The Warrior, the Poet, or the Statesman—The Warrior, Jennie Hansel the Poet Ida Jackson the Statesman, Edwin Gobin."

To give even a synopsis of this, as of all of the productions is impossible fo-dav and to particclarize would be unfair. Suffice it to say that each participant in this exercise did well and justified their friends and audience by the able manner in which it was prepared and executed.

Ii" we were allowed to express an honest opinion we would 6ay that decidedly the best thing of the evening was the declaration of' "Shamus O'Brien" by Mr. Thomas Grace. To learn even the lines of the piece is a task that takes time and talent, but Mr. Grace surmounted even greater difficulty by acting it as well as reading it. Given in the rich Irish brogue so necessary to make it appreciated, every action was suited to the word and every word to the action. The dramatic talent displayed by the voung gentleman was a surpridC to all. At the conclusion of the reading the applause continued until Mr. Grace stepped forward, and modebtly but honestly confessed that he had recited all ot the piece, and consequently could not res?otid to the encore.

Music—"Oh, rlail us, Ye Free,'' concluded the entertainment. The senior class this year is the

The exercises opened with music, "Love divine," by the class standing on the long stage that had been arranged for the occasion. Miss Einma Allen presided at the piano during the entire evening. She is a member of the junior class and though young is a most accomplished musician.

3 OLIVER CAMERON, .1^

UNSAVORY CHARACTER OF THE PLAINTIFF. Washington, March 2i.:—In the Cam-eron-Oliver suit, to-day, Thomas M. Oliver testified that in 1850, in New Orleans and Raleigh, N. C., he was doing business a$ a merchant tailor. In the spring of 1S50 he went to New York to buy goods. He met the plaintiff, Mrs. Oliver, at Osborne's Masonic regalia establishment in that city, where she was working. He visited that city again in the fall of the year visited the store and found her absent. He visited New York again in the spring of 1851. While in the city that time, in company with other gentlemen, he visited an assignation house. While waiting in the parlor for the girls to come in, the plaintiff came

He passed that night and several other nights with her. She told him that she had been seduced while employed at Osborn's, by a man named Johnnie Piatt, under a promise of marriage that 6he had a child by* him, which was born alive but afterwards died. He took her south to Raleigh, and afterwards to Louisville.jl |He lived wilh her in different placet, from August, 1854, to June 1st, i860, at which time he lett her. On June 5th, i860, he married his present wife. He never lived with the plaintiff in his mother's house while in Louisville. His mother had nothing to do with her. No cersmony of marriage was ever performed between him and plaintiff by his bookeeper. He had denied publicly and repeatediy to several person before he left plaintiff that she was his wife, and at no time did he call her Mrs. Oliver or allow her to be called by that name with his consenL

IT is thought extremely doubtful bv his many friends whether ftr. Wm. Dodson, of the Vandalia line, resumes his run as passenger engineer or not. Mr. Dodson is one of the oldest as well as one of the best and safest men on the line, and his place in the company's service will be hard to fill, but both he and his friends predict for him a good many years longer life off the engine than on it. Mr. Dodson is interested in the livery stable on east Main street, which, if he does conclude to quit the company's service, will receive his more particular attention than heretofore.

W HO is responsible for the broken condition of the sidewalk just east of Bindley & Co. Drugstore on Main street It is in a dangerous condition and should be at once attended to. When the workmen laid the stone walk in front of Bindley's they should have replaced those loose brick pulled up by them. "74 -yW/s .ft,
