CINCINNATI, December 24.-The new

meeting yesterday evening and elected
the following officers: President, Judge
William B. Caldwell; Vice Presidents,
Judges Stallo, Geo. Hoadley and Rufus
King; Secretary, Beleny Stoney, Jr.
Treasurer, Joseph c. Butler. Mr..
Frederick Hauseneck, Of the Volks'
5!an, was elected to the office OF Re
cording Secretary. He is reported as
having declined the honor, saying be
had no sympathy with the movement,
had not signed the call, and had not
authorized his name to be issued in
connection with it.
Ben. Deagle, the we'll known proprie'
tor of the saloon under Wood theatre,
was shot and, it is feared, mortally
wounded by a drunken companion,
Chris. Tallman, on Vine street, at three
o'clock this morning. Deagle was
trying to induce Tallman to 60 home,
when the latter drew pistol and shot
beagle, the ball entering the left breast
and ranging down. Tallman was placed
in the station house and is very much
affected over the affair. He claims to
have no recollection Of it whatever.
beagle is resting very easy tonight
and one of the attending physicians
saws there is chance for his recovery;
Weather warm and the snow all
melting. The river is rising slowly
seven feet and two inches BY the metal
mark at the water works. There is nc
ice from here to Louisville and the steam
