Vessels from the Adriatic ports will save 185 Miles and those from the Mediterranean 95 Miles by parsing through the canal besides avoiding the dangerous by around Cape Malapan. Tarou weeks from to Day the City elections will take place provided there Are any candidates in the Field. From the Inai tion of both parties one would be Lead to believe that the City election was next Spring instead of this one. The Republican Central committee should see to it that this convention is cried earlier than the saturday before the election As is sometimes the Case. The people want to have a Good look at the candidates. So Call your convention and let the fight begin. The third term in local politics is regarded in the same Light As in National i>olitic8, however the cacti Date for that term Are trembling in their to it oots. A Democrat does not believe in the a Inci Ples of civil service. They believe in passing the spoils around and the indications Are that a certain slate that bad been carefully made will be broken All to pieces and new material called to the front. In that Case the Quot pent up agony Quot will break Forth in curse det a and loud. Some Lively wire pulling will be indulged in during the next few weeks.

Presbytery reconvened at 7 30 o clock to hear the report of the pres by trial evangelist and also that of the presbyterian evangelical committee. The report of the presbyterian evangelist Hev. A. Taylor consisted of a View the work acc3mplishe<i by Liim during the year and a series of suggestions. He bemoaned the fact that so Many of the smaller churches though Able would not contribute even so much As the travelling exp Enfelt of their supplies which no or exceeded $5.00. He thought some were excusable on account of poverty while others he commended because of neglect. In connection this report was that of Bev. A b. Smith chairman of the presbyterian evangelical committee. His financial exhibit showed a balance of 196.00 in the trea Eniy and his statistics were most valuable. A number of resolutions introduce in by him gave vent to an animated discussion especially the fifth which provided for the establishment of a Home Mission fund Independent of that of the regular Beard fund by a subscription of one cent per week from each member of the he Arches in the Bounds of the Presb Tery. This movement was denounced As revolutionary and disloyal and the system Indra appealing for contributions to the funds most Vehe Mei ily deprecated or Church members Are intelligent men and women and ought to know enough to give voluntary to the Aid of the several boards without being appealed to. The Tift i Resolution was then amended to read As Given below Aud the report adopted resolved the committee it com mends the continued employment of a Home evangelist within the Bounds of the presbytery. 2.

A vote of thanks was tendered the pastor members and choir of Broadway Church and the citizens of Logansport for their kind los pit a Lity. This finished the business of the presbytery and the minutes of the session were read and approved Aad presbytery adjourned to meet at la Porte in october next. The Bob tall. The Wabash courier contributes the following with regard to the much talked of fort Wayne Lafayette a Quot and new Cebee an enthusiastic peruvian who says that the fort Wayne Lafayette a St. Louie Road called for Short the Bobtail will certainly be constructed this year. Last fall it will be remembered the Peru papers announced with a grand flourish that by january is 1883, the Road would be in operation Between Logansport and Peru. The Bonds had been placed in new York and the Money $1,500,000, would be obtained whenever it was needed. There was to be no Money ice and the people of this City were taunted because they had sense enough to vote Down a project to appropriate $i0,000 to the band of speculators in Public credulity. But a change came Over the spirit of the peruvians dream. The Bobtail failed to materialize. January 1st arrived and not a shovel Ful of Earth had been thrown on the Bobtail Grade. The citizens of Peru kicked for the Money they had donated and talked about injunctions and other things equally dreadful in Case the Bobtail manipulators attempted to collect the tax voted. With the 0 it ening of Spring now comes the report that the scheme which has slept through the dreary months of Winter is to be revived this time the Bonds have been placed in Chicago but the party who vouches for this information neglects to name the banker or broker who has advanced the Money on the paper and there is a vagueness about the entire business indicating that there is a Nigger in the woodpile in a few weeks some of the whole souled gentlemen who Are interested in the Road will mildly suggest that it would be a Good idea for Noble township to vote again on the question of appropriating $20,000 and another Effort will probably be made to secure a donation of Public funds. The Fellows at the Bead of the company knew Well enough that their threats to construct the Road Only As far East As Peru in Case Money was not forthcoming from Wabash was a Mere Idle assertion and the courier predicts that another Effort to raid the township Treasury is to be put Forth. That the line is ultimately to be built no one will deny but the residents of Noble township should see that they Are not hoodwinked into allowing the company s officials to reach at random into the Public purse and segregate the a ducats therein contained. This portion of the Brilliant Enterprise ought to be stepped upon at the _ installation services. The installation services at the Broadway presbyterian Church last evening proved very interesting. Delegates were cresent from Lake Porter la Porte Starke Pulaski Jasper Newton White and from our own churches in this City. The delegates Are Here attending the meeting of the Logansport presbytery. Tiie first on the programme was the installation of Rev. Edward Scott As pastor of the Broadway presbyterian Church. The audience loom of the Church was comfortably filled by Mem Wijers of the Church and congregation and the delegates from other portions of the District. The installation exercises were opened with an Organ voluntary by miss Hannah Hall which was followed by scripture Reading by Rev. E. H. Post. After a supplication to the throne of Grace by Rev. J. Q. Hall the congregation joined in that glorious hymn let Zion s watchmen All the most interesting part of the exercises and at the same time the most important was the Sermon by Rev. A a. Little who delivered a most eloquent discourse. After singing another hymn and the installation prayer of Rev. E. H. Post Rev. J. B. Crowe delivered his charge to the pastor a very sensible and pointed talk. The charge to the people making Plain their Church obligations and their duties As members of the Church was very plainly enunciated a the Rev. J. Q. Hall. S. T. Mcconnell being absent from the City or. Munson delivered the address of Welcome from the elders of the Church to the pastor. He made a few Brief remarks As to the condition of the Church when or. Scott Fin to came Here and referred to the present neat House of worship the result of the pastor s Energy and persevering labor. After the doxology and pronouncing of the Benediction by the newly installed pasto Quot. Miss Hannah Hall rendered a Tauti us voluntary of the new pipe Organ while the congregation pressed to the pulpit to congratulate and Welcome the pastor. Or. Scott came to Logan port to enter upon the duties As pastor of the Broad Way Church during 18s1, while the repairs of the Durch were about being abandoned. He preferred to not be installed As the regular minister until the scorch improvements were completed. He should indeed feel flattered at the consummation of his wish and the neat House of worship of which he was last night installed As the regular pastor. _ the Mew insane a Spital Indianapolis news Quot the commissioners appointed to select Sites for the three new hospitals for the insane and to direct the construction of the buildings will meet on wednesday next at the governor s office for organization and for the beginning of their work. The Bill under which the commissioners operate is loosely drawn in some respects As it is not sign edified what the Cost of the asylums shall be or when they Snail be completed. Tae language of the act leads to the inference that the new buildings Are to be ready for occupancy in two years which the commissioners regard almost an impossibility. At the first meeting the question As to the system to b3 adopted will be considered. A Strong influence prevails favourable to the adoption of the cottage or family system for the treatment of the insane. It is quite certain that at least one of the hospitals will be on this plan. Under this Mode punishment of inmates in any Way is abandoned those of like tastes and propensities being grouped together in families to be influenced by moral and paternal i suasion. The advocates of this syst say it is being adopted generally in Europe and America As the Only humane and satisfactory Mode of governing the insane. On the other hand or. Rogers superintendent of the insane Hospital regards the family system As impracticable at least a the treatment of the acute cases of insanity. The following places area Pic ants for the asylums Richmond it. Wayne Elk Bart Peru Logain port and Madison. Richmond will probably get the Asylum on the cottage plan and it. Wayne and Elkhart seem to be in the Lead for the other Erans Vule getting the third by direction of the k. Entertain intent. The entertainment in the series of Quot Camp fires Quot to be Given by the members of the grand army of the Republic Post to raise Money to defray the expense of observing decoration Day was Given wednesday evening at their Hall on Market Street. Only a four audience was present to listen to the programme arranged for the evening. The evening exercises opened with a song by that Sterling Quartetti of singers messes. Cushman Grace Shideler and Davidson. The song Quot our National Banner Quot served As the stimulant to arouse thoughts of the late War in the minds of the audience and prepare them for the most interesting talk of capt. D. H. Chase on the Battle of Chancellorsville. Or. Chase made his record of the Battle a connected narrative giving his own personal War experience. His talk lasted about an hour and was very closely listened to by the audience. The Quartetti then rendered Quot our old Home Quot and Quot Sherman s March to the sea after which capt j. C. Nelson a introduced and gave his recollections of the Battle at Shiloh which proved very interesting. Although much has been written and spoken of this memorable struggle or. Kelson in his three quarters of an hour Taik brought out Many incidents and happenings new to his hearers. After another song by the Quartetti entitled Quot that same old song Quot the exercises for the evening closed. Miss Sallie Horn presided at the Organ and capt. Frank Swygart introduced the speakers. Altogether the exercises were Well Worth hearing and it is to be regretted that a larger audience did not turn out and thus encourage the g. A. R. Members in a worthy Enterprise. The next Camp fire will be held wednesday evening april 25 h. Jacs a one. W. A. Jonee. After sailing on an Uncertain sea of business in this City has concluded that Terre haute his old Home is better suited to his taste. He came Here about a year ago and opened out a gun store in the City building on fourth Street. Everything went Lovely for a few months when the business horizon assumed a threaten ing aspect and according to his own statement he is out $500 by his Brief stay in the City. But the journal doubts those figures As he had Low rent to pay and employed Only one Man to run the store for him while be himself flitted Back and Forth Between Here and Terre haute. The Man whom he employed to Ake charge of his store seemed to act a a kind of a twin brother answering a to the name of Jones. Friday goods of the Etab Litt Ament were packed up on the q. Very quiet and hauled to the depot for shipment to Terre haute. On fhe Way Over James Mcsheehy spied or. Jonee carrying the Large gun which had been used As a sign for the establishment and having a Bill for some 17 against the firm took a drop and started for a Justice of the peace s office. Papers were issued to attach his goods and or. Jones had no More than paid the same than John Tamee of the pharos pounced onto him for a sum of $15 Tor advertising. Late Stul the journal establishment came to the front with another $15 indebtedness not settled by or. Jones. This was too much for the Terre haute Man and he had to put up part of his Stock of revolvers and guns As Security for the Money due the news Paju ers the proceedings of seizure were transacted in Justice Shaffrey s court. Tie roster of rnite<1 states District Jades. The question of filling the vacancy in the District judgeship caused by the retirement of judge Gresham being the leading topic of discussion among attorneys it May be of interest to recall the names of the gentlemen who have occupied that position since its creation. The first District judge appointed after Indiana was admitted to the Union As a state was Benjamin Parke a resident of the Southern part of the state who served from 1817 to 1825. He was followed by Jesse l. Holman , whose term extended from 1825 to 1842 and the judges since that time have been Elisha m. Huntington of Terre Hauter 1843 to 18e3 Caleb b. Smith of Connersville 1863-4 Albert 8. White of Lafayette six months of 1564 Daniel Mcdonald of Bloomington although at Attiat time a resident of indianapolis1664 to 1869 and Walter q. Gresham of new Albany 1869 to 1883. A i trance and Start inc Dreamis Tate in a spirit world a remarkable dream or Prete Maural visitation recently occurred in Louisville by or. V. E.
