THURSDAY EVENING, Jan. 10, 1884 LOCAL GATHERINGS. ‘The heavy ice in the river prevented the running of the ferry boats today. The moot court met at the office of 8. B. Kerr last night and tried a couple of interesting cases. The Air Line has thirty-three cars of fine short horn cattle from Lexington, Ky., bound for Wichita, Kansas. The rain of today freezes as fast as it falls, rendering walking on the sidewalks very difficult and dangerous. Mrs. Eva Kirtland will occupy the platform at the Opera House on the evening of the 14th, in the regular lec ture course heretofore arranged. Mrs. Donhaner was found dead in her bed Tuesday morning at her residence four miles east of Corydon. Her funeral took place Wednesday at Lanesville. Deputy constable George Loweth yes terday arrested a blind man whom he charged with being drunk, and ’Squire Swift imposed a fine on the sightless ambibier. The trial of Jack Kouark, indicted jointly with Thomas Luck for the mur der of Philip Oberhauser, is set for Mon day next in the Clark circuit court at Jef fersonville. The body of the late Claude Roucks arrived from Michigan Tuesday evening, and was buried yesterday, the religious services being held at Holy Trinity Cath olic church. There was a good atendance that night at the protracted meetings now being held at the First and Third Presbyterian churches. The meetings are being crowned with happy results. The week of prayer is observed at the Second Presbyterian church every even ing at 7 o'clock. The meetings have been more than usually interesting. They will be continued to night and Friday night. All are invited. Hon. William Parsons, who was to de liver the next lecture in the New Albany course, on the 14th, is too ill to fill the engagement, and Mrs. Eva Kirtland will supply his place. Mr. Parsons will lec ture some time in February. Mrs. John G. Frank, of Jeffersonville, died on the thinst., aged 69 years. For many years he carried on butchering and was well known throughout the country.He leaves a large family of grown sons and daughters and many friends to mourn his death. An old German named Jacob Graft, an eccentric character, over S0 years of age, was found dead in the little hut where he resided in Oregon township, Clark county, on the 8th. Old age and the intense cald are supposed to have earned his death. The concert to be given at the Opera House tomorrow night by the Spanish Students will no doubt be largely attend ed. It will be one of the most enjoyable entertainments of the season in this city. Tickets may be had at the Opera Horse pews stand and reserved seats may be secured there. Corydon Republican: Mr. William D. Hudern, of Jackson township, was stricken with paralysia a few days since. Ten days since Mr. H. lost his wife by death. Following that he had a presenti ment that he would survive her but fourteen days, and he is firmly impress ed with the belief that the presentiment will become true. “Slippery as glass,” said a rotund citi zen in greeting to the thin man of the Levesr, this morning; but as he com pleted the exclamation the Lrpper man felt the pavement quake, and assisting the rotund person to arise, examined the pavement and found four bricks up on which the heavy person had fallen badly pulverized. Mrs. 3. A. Poole, a former well known resident of this city, and mother of Mr. A. T. Day and Mrs. Pat Hanlon, died on the 2dinst., at Laramie, Wyoming, at the residence of her son, George Poole, of asthma, aged 63 years, while on a visit to her relatives in that town. She had many friends in New Albany who will be pained to learn of her death. Her home was at Center Point, Iowa. The services for the week of prayer were held this afternoon at the Main Street M. FE. church, and to-mor row at 2:30 o'clock will be held the Baptist Tabernacle. These services are well attended by interested audien ces. That at the First Presbyterian church yesterday afternoon was especial ly interesting, and is spoken of as the most enjoyable, so far, of the series. At the meeting of the State Board of agriculture at Indianapolis, Prof. F. A. Friedley, President of DePauw College, read an interesting and instructive paper on “The Profits of Farming,” in which he showed that farmers who attended properly to their business generally ac cumulated 2 competence on that it is the larest business pursuit. Mr. J.Q. A. Sieg was elected a member of the Board from this district. Post Commander, John T. McQuiddy, installed the following officers of W. N. Sanderson Post,I. A. R., last night: Andrewite, P. C.; Leonard Leach, S V.C.; Louis Bir, J. V. C.; Thomas ®re mentz, MI; 8. T. Finney, O.D., W. C. Briel, O. G.; Conrad Miller, Chaplain; J. W. Edmonson, adjutant; A. L. Brasier, MOS; B. F. Emery, 8, M. Visitors were present from Crawford, Lawrence, range and Harrison counties. After a careful examination of the bridge and approaches over Indian creek, at Mooresville, made yesterday, the Commissioners reached the conclu sion that the bridge in no manner or ex tent caused the overflow of the premises of Mr. Parsons, the pursuiyman, at that place, and therefore refuse to allow the bill for damages presented by Mr. Par sons, or any part of it. A law suit will doubtless be the result. A gay throng of little folks assembled at the residence of Mr. Richard Jocelyn, Vincennes street, yesterday evening, to celebrate the twelfth birthday of Miss Nettie Spence. Music added to the charms of the occasion, and cake and confections were dispensed with a liberal hand, and the young people will long remember Mr. and Mrs. Jocelyn for their kindness and hospitality. Wish ing Miss Nettie many happy anniversa ry returns, the company left for their homes delighted with their entertain ment. Capt. William Long, of this city, has been in the employ of the Louisville, Evansville and Henderson packet com pany longer than any man now in its employ. He entered the service of the company as carpenter twenty-seven years ago, and in all these years there has never been any complaint on the part of the company of the manner in which he has discharged his duties. Capt. Long is now taking a rest of a few days on account of the suspension of navigation by the ice in the river. He is steward of the Rainbow. A report has gained general circulation that the bridge over the Ohio at the falls has been condemned by the Gov ernment as unsafe. There is not the slightest foundation for such a report. It is the rule of the Bridge Company in very cold weather, such as we have lately had, to double the length of time required in good weather for the passage of trains over the bridge, as well as to limit the weight of trains. This excel lent and safe rule was enforced during the recent cold snap, and most properly. Today trains are crossing the bridge on the fair weather schedule. The decision by Judge Woods, in the U.S. circuit court, on Tuesday, in the case of the First National Bank of Jef fersonville vs. the Ohio Falls Car and Locomotive Works, gives the unsecured creditors a chance for the recovery of at least a portion of their claims, holding that the bank can only collect the amount of its secured debt with interest. W. C. DePauw, the Ohio Falls Iron Worke, and the New Albany Forge Works, of this city, are among those benefitted by the decision. Alex. Dowl ing, Esq., ably and successfully repre sented these unsecured creditors in the suit. Judge Ferguson, in the Clark circuit court, yesterday, decided that the laws of both Kentucky and Indiana protected the wages of a debtor from garnishment in the Kentucky courts where the wages of such debtor do not exceed $50 per month; and that where a party for whom such debtor is employed is gar nisheed, whether as an individual or corporation, it is the duty of such party to put in the plea, where such plea is true, that the employe receives but $50 per month;and where such garnisheed party fails to put in such a plea but pays the sum garnisheed into the court, he or ther become responsible to the employe whose wagon are so garnisheed,and if a resident of Indiana is liable for the full amount paid, and it may be collected by the employe through the courts. The will of Joseph Routh was probated today. It bequeaths to William E. Routh $100 and all claims held by deceased against him. To the widow of James C. Routh all claims held by tastator against her and her late husband. To Mary R. Riley $100, of which $50 is to go to the use and benefit of her son Henry Glose branner. To David S. Routh $100, to be credited on a note held by testator against Lim.To Delilah Hicks the note held against Joseph Micka. To Margaret R. Smith $100 and all notes held against her. To Morias Routh property on West Market street. To Henry H. Routh, a note for 3500, to be surrendered to him. To Theodore EKouth 8500 to be credited upon a note held by testator for $700. To Epurva Stockdale certain real estate, of value of $500, and $100 to be paid her daughter Mary ©. Buzby. As the balance and residue of the estate to be equally divided between his children, share and share alike. Henry H. Routh was appointed executor and gave bond in $7,000. Indianapolis Journal: The Blooming ton Telephone, in an exhaustive review of the prosperity and growth of that city during the past year, pre sents a statement highly creditable to the town and her enterprising citizens. Many large and handsome buildings have taken the place of those which were either destroyed by the recent de structive fires or torn down to make room for new ones. Ninety-five thous and four hundred and thirty dollars have been thus invested, and the improve ments now contemplated will swell the figures to $200,000. The new college building and the Christian church will probably involve an expenditure of $100,000. The moral sentiment of the people is probably unexcelled by any other town in the state. There are no licensed saloons and out of a population of three thousand more than half are church members. Four of the most de structive fires that ever fell to the lot of a country town have visited it, but each time larger and finer buildings have ris en from the ruins of the old. Blooming ton has certainly made an unequaled record during the past twelve months, such as would reflect credit upon more pretentious cities; and yet i a era of pros perity seems to have just begun.
