BIOGBAPHICAL. I

The Right Reverend Joseph Cruikshank Talbot, D. D., LL. IX, ti.e second Bishop of Indiana, wa6 born of Quaker parentage iu Alexandria, Va., Sept. 5th, 1816. He was educated at Pierpont Academy, Alexandria, and in 1835 removed to Louisville, Ky., where he was engaged as clerk in a batik for several years. He was baptized in Christ Church of that city, in 1837, by the Bishop of Kentucky, and afterward confirmed by him during the same year. In 1841 he became a candidate for hoi}'- orders, and pursued his studies under the Bishop's direction. He was ordered deacon in Christ Church, Sept. 5, 1846. by the Right Reverend Benjamin Bosworth Smith, S. T. D., and ordained priest in St. John's Academy by the same prolate, Sept 6, 1848.

He was at St. John's church, Louisville for seven years removed to Indianapolis in 1853. In 1859 he was elected missionary bishop of the northwest. In 1865 he was elected assistant bishop of Indiana, the venerable Bishop Upfold being too infirm to longer carry the burden of tbe office. Upon the latter's death in 1872 he succeeded to the full honors of the position.

He was married in 1838 to Anna Matilda Ware, daughter of Capt. Ware, of United States Navy.

METROPOLITAN POLICE BILL

Ex-Mayor Havens Criticises ltIndianapolis City Council Condemns It.

-Tne

In an interview with ex-Mayor Havens to-day he expressed himself to a GAZETTE reporter as vigorously opposed to the Metropolitan Police Bill.

The Legislature might just as well appoint our committee on streets and bridges" said Mr. Havens. "We are able here in Terre Haute to attend to our local affairs and never elected a legislature for anv such purpose."

Dr. Swafiord, who is lecognized as a man of shrewdness and experience, is also understood-to be opposed to the measure on the ground that the common council is sufficiently able to inaugurate needed reforms—not only in thi police but in all other departments of the city service.

At the meeting of the Indianapolis city council last night a lengthy resolution was offered by Mr. Morrison providing that, as the proposed metropolitan police bill would increase the expenses of the police department of the city over $38,000 a year, which the city government in its present condition could not well afford, Sve most respectfully ask the Legislature not to psss the law providing for a metropolitan police system, creating an increase of the present force, and that if said bill is passed the Legislature make prov'sion for the payment of the expenses by the Stale." A rather spirited discussion followed the introduction of the resolution, M.r. Dowling making sweeping charges against the present police force. The proposed increase in expenses was strongly opposed by a number of the members, ahd the resolution was adopted by a strict party vote, the five Democratic members voting against it.

While the two were quietly ana peacefully proceeding toward the bastile the officer suddenly iouBd occasion to hug tho earth caused by the slick condition of the walks. The prisoner approved of the opportunity given him for escaping and was soon making his way on a southwesterly direction at lightning speed and succeeded in making good his escape. Chief Vandever says that during his iourteen years service this was the first Derson who ever escaped from him.-rv

An old man who gave his name as Manassas Brown, poony clad a«d ap. parently'n much need, arrived in this city yesterday evening, so his story goes' from a little station on the C. & E. I. north of heie, where he has been visiting his ton. He was without money and had had nothing to eat since yesterday noon. He wanted money to get to Oak station, where he" has another son living. The poor fellow said that he sawed wood at a residence in the north end to pay for his lodging last ni ht and He was refused breakfast. At "last some one referred him to Mr. Lockwood, of the Chanty Organization, but whether or not he found that gentleman and succeeded in getting to Oak station is not known.

The Judicial Circuit. -.

Both the Sullivan Times and Democrat, the two Democratic papers of Sullivan county, are in favor of redisricting this judicial circuit. The Times $ays: "It is a desirable change, as the business of Viso, since the abolition of the criminal cwuri is enough fur one judge."

STOCK LAWS.

[The following bill, prepared by E. S. Rogers, of Honey Creek township, was presented in the Indiana State Senate,. Wednesday, by Senator Bichowsby. Another bill in reference to cattle, horses, mules, etc, was prepared by the same ,person and presented to the Legislature also by Senator Bichowsky. We sre unable to print it in this week's is9ue of the GAZETTE, but will next week, together with a bill, covering the ground embraced by both of them, presented by Senator Yancey, of Marion county, and now before the Committee en AgricuK ture. It is hoped some 6ound and sensible law will result from these deliberations. The editor of the GAJEETTK. accompanied Mr. Rogers to Indianapolis and did what he could in a day and a half's time to get the matter started. It may be found advisable to send some petition to the Legislature on Xh» subject. We f.hould be glad to hear from our subscribers on this point and have those who can, when next in tbe city, call at the GAZETTE office. The proposed law on the subject of Small stock is as follows:]

PREAMBLE.

Whereas the present laws relative to the running at large of stock upon the commons and uninctosed lands- or highways are burdensome because of the vast amount of time lost and in many in stances the necessity of entering into a suit at law in enforcing them, and inasmuch as said laws aie burdensome they are virtually of no benefit. And whereas the increasing scarcity of timber, and io consequence thereof, the increasing cest offence building material, makes it burdensome in the extreme tor the faimers to fence in their crops in such a manner as io protect them from large and small stock and whereas it seems more in accordance with the. principles of justice that a man should be required to fence in his stock rather tnan he be compelled to fence all stock out, Therefore

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, that all sheep and swine are prohibited from running at large upon the commons and high, ways unless the same be in the care of a herder whose duty it shall be to prevent their trespassing. And all persons wha shall drive out or otherwise allow such animals belonging to them to trespass upon the highways shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be fined not less than five ($5) dollars nor more than ten ($10) dollars for each offense.

SECTION 2. It shall be the duty of the constables to take up and impound all such animals (as specified in section 1 of this act) as they shall find running at large in their respective townships, and cause a warrant to be issued for the arrest of the owner of such animals if known to them.

SECTIONS.- Any constable taking up and impounding such animals as specified in section 1 of this act shall at once notify a justice of the peace of his township whose duty it shall be to iusse an order to him directing him to sell said animals at public auction, after he shall have given six days notice of sale by a single publication In some weekly paper ot general circulation in the county. When such animal's have been sold, the Justice of the Peace shall give a bill or certificate of sale to the party purchasing, and the proceeds of such sale, less tbe Constable's fee of one dollar, and 10 per cent, diem for keeping, and his own fee of 25 cents for each order and 15 cents for each bill ot Sale, lie shall pay into the County Treasury, and shall become a part of the common school fund.

SECTION 4. Any person may take up and impound upon his premises any such animals as specified in seciUm 1, of this act, as he shall find running al large in his township, and after causing an appraisement ot such animals to be made by some disinterested person of the same township a ceriiticate of of which appraisement he shall file with Justice of the Peace who shall issue his order to sell the animals for tbe appraised value, he shall proceed to advertise and all in the manner specified in Sec 3 of this act, and he shall be entitled to retain out of the proceeds of such sale $1, and 10 cent per diutn for keeping.

SEC 5. If any person as taking up and impounding such animals has suffered damages by them he shall have the damages assessed by some disinterested persou of the same Township, and shall file a certificate of such assessmAt with the Justice of the Peace, and after paying the Justices fees be shall be entitled to return as much out ot the purchase money as shall be necessary to cover the damages and his charge of ($1) one dollars and 10 cent per diem for Keeping.

SEC. 6. The person so taking up such animal or animals may keep lue same, provided he pay to the Justice of Peace, who shall upon such payment make a bill ot sale to said person, the appraised value of the animal, less the sum of •l and if he hat suffered damages, then he shall pay to the Justice of Peace the appraised value oL the animal or less the amount of damages assessed and ($1) one dollar.

JURY COMMISSIONERS.

There seems to be a lamentable ignorance as to the provisions ot the new law concerning the selection ot grand juries and petit juries. The following is tbe law on the subject. After providing for tbe appointment of two juty commissioners ot opposite politics it requires tbem to take the following oath, to be entered ot record in open court: "You do solemnly swear (or affirm) that you »1U honestly, and without favor or prejudice, perform the duties of jury coiulaissionetB during your term ot office that selecting persons to be drawn as jurors you will select none but persons wbom you believe to be of good repute for intelligence and honesty, that you will select none whom you may have been or may be requested to select, and that, in all your selection?, you will endeavor to promote only the impartial administration of justice."

Mr. A. B. Salsich has paid our to tbe administrator of th** estate «f the la George Kruza, $2,U00 msuiance on his ilife carried in tbe A. O. U. W. This or-|. I der i3 not .only reliable but prompt.

A TRANSFORMATION.

Ahlbrink, Who Took Advantage of Vandever'* Fall, Saturday Hight,

Tarns Horse Thief, Has a Guard Placed Over Him, and Escape*.

Readers ot the daily newspapers will recollect the fact of a prisoner—a German youth named Gfeorg* Ahlbrink— escaping from Chief of Police Vandever last Saturday night. Mr. Vandever slip, ped on the ice and the fellow took advantage of the accident to get out of sight as fast as possible, which he did, though hotly pursued by the officers. This Ahl brink appears to be a natural born thief, or, if it was not inherited^ he seems to have picked up tbe art pretty well for a young-ier.

On the night following hk escape here he went to the farm of Mrs. Theron Sutliff, south of this city in Honey Creek township, where he formerly worked, and stole a mare and a saddle, making good his escape. He worked for Mr. Sutliff and also for Mr. Albert Sherman, administrator of Mr. SutlilTs estate, during the last threshing season and was familiar with the lay of land. He knew the police would use every endeavor to recapturc him and if he could get a hor^ somewhere and sell it the first opportunity he got his chances- of getting awav would materially brighten.

Ahlbrink speaks with a German accent and has an open, honest countenance. H^ worked recently at Rudolph Fremont's saloon on Ohio street and Mr. Fremont would willingly pay some money to get him back—not around his saloon, but in tewn—some place where it wouldn't be easy to get away from. When Ahlbrink reached Brazil yesterday morning he immediately offered the mare for sale, asking $95 for it. He- asked a sum so near the actual price of the horse so tbat it wouldn't arouse suspicion. Finally, he made a bargain with the man to sell it to him for $75, but the latter knowing well the risks taken in buying from a stranger, wanted reference.

Ahlbrink "aid his name was Sherman and brought in a colored barber who corroberated him in tha^and other particulars. Bnt still the prospective horse-buy-er wasn't satisfied aod while he was hunting for other reference, Ahlbrink, over whom a guard of tour persons had been placed to watch him,

ESCAPED FROM THEM ALL

and ran like a streak of lightnings distancing all pursuers. Chief Vandever was communicated with and be went over to Brazil in a buggy last night and brought back the stolen horse this morning. One of tbe peculiar parts ot the transaction is that Vandever gueseed the thief when be first heard of the robbery. Mr. Sherman came in the police office and told of the theft, when Vandever exclaimed that he knew who it was and getting a picture ot Ahlbrink from his desk showed it to Sherman, who in turn exclaimed: "Why ihat's a man who worked for me."

The police have hopes jet ot capturing the wily youth who has caused all this trouble.

A Busy Day for Mr. Breeden. Yesterday the Rev. Mr. Breeden was quite busy/ He rose earlier than usual and worked till nearly ten on a sermon then went to the country married a coupl and remained with them to dinner. At 2e he came to town and conducted a funeral going out to tbe cemetry. Al 4 o'clock he had a business errand down town and on returning home completed his sermon which he delivered last night and after service officiated at immersion. That is what tbe GAZETTE would call quite a day'tiwork.

TIIR bottle manufacturers were before the Senate Finance committee yesterday asking the adoption of 11 cents per pound duty on green bottles. They represent many furnaces as now bei: closed because of their inability to compete with the pauper bottles of Germany.
