LANfTlEAGUE-

Proceedings, of the State Land League Convention at Indianapolis.

The vr.rious land league associations in the state to-day sent delegates to Indianapolis to form a state association, the purpose being to secure vmited action and to place all the branches under one general supervision. The following delegates were present at the Grand Hotel meeting yesterday, John Carroll, Paul Fitzgerald, Michael Sweet man aud Patrick Lynath of Rushville, J. C. Murphy, Evansville, John Shenan, Lafayette, Captain Barrett, John Fisher, William Sheridan and Captain Hart, Indianapolis, and representatives trom Greencasile, Covington, Brazil, Terre Hante, Ft. Wayne and other places* In a general conference yesterday morning the leagues throughout the state were shown to be earnestly at work agitating the subject of Ireland's wrongs, and the belief was freely indulged in that as a result of American sympathy the "suspects" would be release^ and much greater things be accomplished

The land league association spent the afternoon largeTy in perfecting a state organization, and forming a constitution for its government. At 3 o'clock state offi cers were elected as follows: President Harvey Harris, Mayor of Michigan City vice president, Paul W. Fitzgerald, of Rushville secretary, Edward F. Ilart, of Indianapolis treasurer, James T. Dowling, of Indianapolis.

A hooting Affray

Samuel Ferrand aad James W. Vanetta, two residents of Prairie Creek township, met in the road this morning and had an altercation in which the former was shot by the latter. The shot took effect in the arm and the wound is not thought to be very serious. From what could be learned it seems that the dispute arose as to who should give the road. Vanetta claims that he shot in self defense, but as his lawyer would not allow him tn talk, none of the details could be learned. The reporter suggested to the attorney that if his client was telling the truth he would find no difficulty telling it twice alike, but he was still reticent and enjoined 9i!ence upun his client. It is said the men are brothers-in-law.

Nevins Township Dogs.

John Hoffman, the able and energetic Trubtee of Nevius Township, who was in the city yesterday, reports that he has issued 225 tags to dogs in his township. The constables have begun in earnest the slaughter of untagged dogs and titty have already been killed. It is estimate-1 that t^ere are now not over twenty-five dogs without lags in the township, and within the next two weeks every last one of them will either be tagged or killed. This is a good record and one which the Constables of other townships shonld emulate."

Osath of Charles Brady.

A dispatch was received this morning by Charles O. Ebel, stating that Charles C. Brady, formerly solicitor on the Directory, died this morniog at St. Marys Hcs^ pitaJ, Evausville.

TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES.

Full Report of the Proceedings at Their Meeting-

A Large Amount of Work Done and a Good Beginning Made-

The township trustees met yesterday morning at the office of Trustee Plnkbiner, of Harrison township. There was a full attendance. In the morning nothing of any consequence was done aside from the transfer of children from one township to another, where, though living in one township, a good reason exists for parents desiring to have their children attend school in another town ship.

In the afternoon they met again and Prof. W. H. VViley, superintendent of the city schools, was'elected chairman, and Reuben llutz, trustee of Sugar Creek township, was chosen secretary. County School Superintendent J. II Allen sug gestcd in order the work to which it was desirable the meeting should attend

He stated that a committee should be appointed to revise the rules for govern ing the schools. This called out remarks from Superintendent Allen himself, from Trustee Jones, of Honey Creek, and Whitlock, of Prairieton. The chairman appointed Trustees Whitlock, Jones and Finkbiner to act with Superiniendent Allen.

A motion to appoint a committee ot five to arrange a program lor township institutes and the time of holding them, so as not to have them clash in point of time, called out remarks from several, after which the chair appointed as the committee Messrs. Allen, Butz, Watkins. Jones and Scott.

The chair, after a motion to that effect and remarks from several persons, appointed Messrs. Hoffman, Burgan and Brill a committee to act with Superintendent, Allen in hnungi»g a course of study.

A communication was then read from Mr. Cabl", representing the publishing house of Parter & Coats, proposing to introduce Buckwalters spelling book in the schools of the County aud giving prices, the exchange price tor McGuffeys speller now in use being nine cents per copy, and the introduction price where the child has no old book to exchange being 15 cents. Trustee Butz, of fcugar Cireek, moved tfca*. the Bu-jkwalter spelling book be adopted, lie stated that he himself and the best teachers in his towneliip considired it far supcrlbr to the book now in use. Trustee Jones, of HoDey Creek, and Whitlock, of Prairieton, also spoke warmly in its favoi. Superintendent Allen suggested the appointment of a committee to consider the matter but the proposition was rejected and by a unanimous vote the book was adopted.

A proposition from Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co, of Cincinnati, publishers of the Eclectic History ot the United Stales, lor introducing that book in the schools of the county instead of one now in use was read. On motion of Mr. •Jones a committee of three, consisting ot Messrs Jones, Watkins and Hoffman, was appoisted to take the matter under consideration and report at, the next meeting.

A committee consisting of Messrs. Finkbiner, Brill and Harris was appointed to consider and report on the queetion of geogrnpby aud of Watkins, Scott and Jones on phyisioloyy

A committee consisting of Messrs. Allen,Moore and Finkbiner was appointed to consider the question of teacher's and children's reports.

The routine business being ended Superintendent Allen addressed the meeting, urging the trustees to engage their teachers early in the season and lo keep the matter in their own bands, not leaving it to a wrangle among the patrons of the school, as iha', method, however good it might seem to on the surface was sure to produce bickerings and dissensions and rivalry among tlie paren's and favoritism and partiality towards certain pupils on the part of tt'.e teachers. He a'so spoke on the necessity of having the school buildings put in good condition and of the desirability'»f having the fchoors begin at the ^ame time. Several othtr malters of importance he discussed, giving the Irustet much sound advice from which they can profit.

The meetiDg then adjourned lo assemble again on Saturday the 12th day of August. Taken as a whole the trustees are a wide-awake, active, intelligent body of men.

The Election of State SenatorsJudge Frazer of the revision commission has given Governor Porter a written opinion on the question as to the election of all the state senators next November in which, after referring to section 1 and and 53 of the election laws of 1881. be says: "Such a thing as filling a legislative vacancy at a general election, bjlir- the vacancy shall have occurred, was not con template:! by the constitution, nor i* it bv the electon law of 1882 Indeed, both sections of the eh c:ioa law above aliuded to are merely copied t'roin the revised statutes of 1852 (pas:es2(j0 and 268,vol. 1 Tbe question, however, is of very little importance Elections to till a legislative vacancy would be only )r tbe unexpired term, i. e\, about three weeks in October and November, 1S84. and when there would be no session I have lint dwelt upon the difficulties which thv coobtiiu-

advanced. There are several which would, I think, be conclusive againss the validity of any statute which could l»e lormod providing for choosing a' a general election persons t"» fill legislative vacancies near?v two years before the vacancies occur."

Ignored By the Grand Jury. George J. Evans was discharged from jail this morning. He was ooe of the men charged with chloroforming a traveling man named J. H. Manny, while on a train bound for this city, a short time ago. The grand jury ignored the case.

THE CHARITY ASSOCIATION.

The Proposed Methods of Work and What They Will do-

Our Charily Association promises to be in full working order in a few days, and the method of work. and the persons at its head, give warrant of its successful operation. By the first of the coming week, perhaps* sooner, it will be in operation not doing all that it is expected ultimately to accomplish, but at work. A meeting was held this afternoon at which was chosen as investigator, to look into the merits of all applicants for assistance, after which the case will be passed upon and assistance furnished if merited. The county commissioners have appropriated $30 per month for a part of the salary of this officer, and when the society is sufficiently organized as to demand the full time of the person, the remainder of his salary will be made up from the funds of the society. Every thing is in shape now tor work except the stationary, which has not yet been received. As soon as that is ready the society will investigate gratuitously all cases o'f application for assistance and report the information derived, thus enabling persons to dispense charity to some good purpose instead of giving haphazard. They Bill also give to the best of their judgment, founded on a thorough investiuution, any monies that may be jpven to the society for charitable disposition, especially tor the relief of transients who cannot be assisted by the trustees. In addition to the foregoing they will also have an employment bureau, and will publish each day a list of the new applicants for employment, the kind of work desired, &c and furnish persons desiring help, information as to the characters ot the applicants. All the churches and charitable organizations are entitled to representative, and a met ting will be held on the first Thursday in every month. The Mayor is president ex officio, and the county commissioners and trustees are also members. The Ladies' Aid Society has united in the movement, and by formal record become identified wi'h the association. A membership in the association costs two dollars per year and entitles the member to a vote. Donors of $50 become life members. They have sufficient money to begin work but will need more as they extend the field of their labor, which of course they e\pect to leceive by accesions of membership and from persons who wish to give through the agency of the association

Persons desiring to become members should apply to Mr. Townlev, 512 Main street.

SMALLPOX

An Epidemic at Rosedale and Rapidly Becoming More Alarming.

yes-

A special from Rockville, dated terday, says: 'The number of cases of smallpox at Rosedale. this county, has increased to twelve. The village was properly quarantined yesterday,and Dr. J.H. Baldridge placed in cfcarge Another patient died last night, named Benjamin Roberts The dtaease appears to have been prought to Rosedale two weeks ago by a man whp was ignorant of the fact, and his physician, Dr. Hensley, who died last night, treated him for hives, and not until the doctor himself go down, apd ,Dr. Baldridge was called in, was it known that smallpox was in their midst. Dr. Gillum, of the State Board of Health, has been procuring nurses here to seed to the stricken village, Dr. Baldridge having notified him this morning that he was almost alone in caring for the sick, acd unless h'dp came to his relief he must become exhausted and retire.

Last night it was' reported that there was probably a case of the same disease at Nyesville. four utiles northeast of here, among the coal miners, one of whom had arrived there from Rosedale, and to-day a dispatch :rom that place reports tour ease?.

If there is an} thing in vaccination, the disease cannot spread much, a« there are but very few in ibis part of the country who have not bvn vaccina'ed.

Cattle—Murrain, black tongue and black leg. Sheep—Foot-rot, scab and catarrh.

THE NEW DOO LAW.

Tbe following exhibits the operations the various sections oi the state under the law to protect sheep from the dogs:

Dsgs—No. of dogs registered in North Div., 26,273 Central Div, 39,366 South Div., 30,423. Total. 96,062. No of dogs six months old not regi-tered in North Div., 9,491 Central Div., 21,048 South Div., 14,536 Total, 45,077. No. of dogs killed under the law in North Div., 291 Central Div., 772: South Div., 786. Total, 1,849.

The figures afford food for taought if we shall consider for a moment how much food is required to keep this number of dogs, and its value. It costs vay 10 cents per day to keep a dog. Therefore to feed the'iotal number of dogs here reported for one year will cost $5,151,573.50. The same food given to other domestic .animals and birds would ircreasc the product uf the farms of the State over $5,000,000 per year. There are some valuable dogs, indispensable Jo the farmer, but it is questiouable whether one in a hundred ot the number reported are of this character. It should be stated also that if the townships not reporting should show the same ratio of dogs as those reporting, it would swell the total number of dogs in the State to nearly 290,000.

1, 1882.

Since the publication of the April bul letin a severe freeze occurred which has occasiored much uneasiness respecting its effect upon the wheat and fruit crops. How far these fears were justified will be found in statements here given from the reports of the trustees of the several counties of the st-te. The damage sustained by wheat was caused by the freezing of that which had attained to very rank growth, and formed the joint and embryo head. How much of this would have matured and been saved at harvest is questionable, whether the freeze had affected it or not. Nevertheless the freeze, as shown in the reported condition of wheat, has lowered the percents somewhat, as compared with the April reports. Most of the reporters state that asf et it is hard to determine the damage. There is a marked change in the condition of tbe truit crop.

It will be interesting to note the operation of the new law in regard to dogs, and with a view to this the trustees were requesttd to report some important facts in this regard, which will be found here tabulated. It should be stated that, for lack of adequate funds, this work is necessuiily condensed into as small space as possible. The several fables arc given as belore, by dividing the State into three divisions, viz. Northern, Central and Southern. The tables given by counties will indicate, as regards the more condensed ones, the several counties embraced in the three divisions. In each ca9e averages are given.
