THE CHARIOT COMPANY.
Their First Annual Meeting

The first annual meeting of the Northern
Liberty Chariot Company was held yesterday
at the company's Office on street, adjoining
the new market-house. While the corporation
has existed for year, it must be recollected
that the chariots have been running only since
the LIST of February last, or little more than
six months. The erection of buildings, pur-
chasing of stock and equipping of the line, as
was expected, created heavy expense before
the running of the chariots or any income was
received to balance the outlay. Still, notwiSh-
standing this heavy Indebtedness, which had
to lie met and satisfied, the books of the CON-
pany show it to be in healthy and prosper
Gus condition. For the time that the coaches
have BEEN IN operation the receipts have aver
aged $4,000 a month, while the expenses were
about 81 SEQ. During that time there have
been only ten chariots on the line. The re-
port of the es'dent, Mr.. H. H. Moran, sub
mitted Yesterday. shows the assets to be 49,, :
700. So: liabilities, 81, 057.1 with a balance
in favor of assets OF SIS, 733.42.
In addition to the stables the company own
fourteen chaIiots and seventy-twO horses.
Tney have twenty-five hands in their employ.
At the time of the recent excessive hot weather,
when both man and beast succumbed to the
heat they escaped with q loss of five horses,
and the death of two of them was thought to
have resulted from natural causes.
Mr.. j. G. Nailor is the superin endent, and o
more competent man could not be secured. The
immediate control of the stock, hostlers aud
starting and regulating the running of the
coaches is under the direction of Mr.. Edward
LeBarnes, who has shown great efficiency in
his position, and satisfied the company of hi
fitness for the place. The line is now in 9
prosperous condition. The company have
weathered the reverses that too frequently
meet young companies, and feel that the per
marency of the line is established. At thu
meeting of the stockholders the following di
rcctors for the ensuing year were chosen
Messrs James L. Barbour, John A. Baker, W
L. Vanderbilt, George Fl. Elliott, George NJ
Barker, James G. Bowers and C. C. Martin
The directors will meet this evening and cleo

Washington, will give q picnic this even
ing at Beyer's Seventh-street park, and
the gentlemen having it in charge promise

brightest lecturers and pulpit orators In the
country, and who has returned to the city en-
tirely recovered from his recent indisposition,
will be present, will cause his Pensioners and
host Of friends in the city to turn out en-
masse to welcome him home. Tine admission
has also been placed at the low price of 25
cents, which is an additi" nal incentive TO
those in search of an evenings pleasure. The
refreshment tables will be in charge of the Ia
dies of the congregation.

WITHDRAW FROM THE CONTEST
A New Mustard Plaster.

The medical value of mustard plaster is
understood in every family. Much time is
spent in preparing q poultice, and often the
mustard is of poor quality and will not act,
causing great suffering. This trying incon-
venience is now perfectly overcome by Benson S
Prepared Mustard Plaster. 1t is great i'm
provement on the ordinary article. 1t is very
clean, and can be applied and removed without
discoloring the clothing or soiling the skin.
1t does not deteriorate with age. 1t is always
reliable, as only the best quality Of mustard is
used in its preparation. 1t is ready for use at
any moment by simply dipping it in water,
1t is sold in half yard pieces, at 25 cents per
ceipt of price, by

Superb Wrestling on Friday Evening Next

bup6EO HE6bIlluS 3Eluay oNoAAlh NoA"
The champion wrestler of the world, THE
baud Bauer, and William Miller are now in
Washington preparing for contest, to take
place at the National theatre on Friday even
ing of this week. The two matches of these
noted athletes in Baltimore drew out great
audiences, comprising among them the leading
citizers, and the strength b, dexterity aud grace
of the wrestlers created as much genuine ex-
element and elected as much applause as WAS
ever heard within the walls of the Grand Opera
House. The exhibition was the perfection of
physical culture, and 1t showed thoroughly
what proper attention to food, exercise and
abstinence will produce in personal health.
The exhibition at the National will be the only
one given in this city, and 1t will doubtless
arouse very general interest. The same par
ties, Miller and Bauer, had wrestling contest
at the New Music Hall, Boston.
Summer Theatre Comique.
The attractions at the Comique this week
are numerous. The bill commences with the
songs and dances of the Parker sisters, and
embraces the serio-comic vocalist, Miss Lizzie
| Thatcher; the negro comedian, ALI Miles;

| Christie and others.
On Friday night, Jake O'Neal, the tumbler-
onicon, takes his benefit when crowded house

Meeting of the Indiana Republicans-CompE-

Knights of the Golden Circle


Knights of the Golden Circle.
meeting of the Indiana Republican Club
was held at lie Droit building last night; John
A. Shanklin in the chair, and VIM. NJ. Bass
secretary. The treasurer made a financial
statement, which was adopted.
The vacancy occasioned by the resignation
Of Hon. John c. New as president was filled
by the unanimous election of Mr.. j. C. Bur
net.
Mr. B. z. Catlin offered series of resolu-
tions, which were adopted. The first congrat-
ulates the people of Indiana upon the acces-
sion of Mr.. Tyner TO the Cabinet, and pays a
very high and well-deserved compliment to the
Postmaster General for past public services.
The second awards thanks and high honors to
the Republicans from Indiana in the present
House. The third is complimentary to Hon.
Thomas j. Brady, Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General. The fourth points with pride to
the splendid and patriotic record of Indiana S
distinguished Senator, Hon. o. p. Morton, and
pledges him answering affection and support.
The following preamble and resolution is
commended to the attention of Blue Jean Viii
lianls, Tom A. Hendricks, Dan voorhees, &
Co.:
KNIGIITs OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE.
Whereas there existed in Indiana during
the year 1868 certain secret orders known as
the ''Knights of the Golden Circle" and "Sons
of Liberty" composed exclusively of members
of the Democratic party, organized for the
purpose Of assassnating the executive OF the
State, releasing rebel prisoners, gaining con-
troll of the camps, arms, munitions of war,
&C., and placing our State in the hands of the
so-called Confederate Government; and where
n ,NoA.t Of nElr
State in their private intercourse with parties
unacqUainted with the fact are denying that
such organizations referred to ever existed,
and representing that the action of the execu-
tive of the State (Hon. o. P. Morton) in fer
retting out and bringing to punishment the
leaders of said organizations was solely for
personal and political notoriety, and that the
people were coerced by the executive to aid
him in protecting the State against its inevita-
bic ruin and disgrace had the Democracy
succeeded in their plans
RcSOlTcd, That this course adopted y Dem
ocratic Representatives to defame the loyal
people of Indiana is unjust, and deserves to be
denounced, condemned and severely criticised,
and should be warning to the people of the
duplicity and vile intentions of Democratic
politicians during the present campaign.
On motion of MIR. Rhinehart, committee OF
five was appointed to consult with other com
mittces of similar clubs regarding the selec-
tons to lie made of persons to be discharged
from Departments under the reform legisla'
lion of the Confederate House.

MR.. TuOs. PLOwMAN,

inspector Of public buildings, was sworn Was
first called to the Jefferson building the latter
part of August, 1874; was directed by the en-
gineer to make certain examinations of the
building in relation to certain repairs to be
made; the repairs were made and completed
about the 1st of September OF that year: the
character of the repairs were an oycrhaUliu 2
of the doors and windows, making alterations
in the water closets, putting in wire screens,
and in the other schools water closets were
erected. He was directed by engineer to make
limited repairs wher necessary without further
instructions. Mr.. Lloyd and Mr.. Thompson
came to him at one time in reference to repair
ing the blackbOaTds, and he had gone over to
the building and found in some rooms that the
blackboards had been damaged by frost
He had sent man to estimate the cost Of
repairs, who had estimated 1t at So, and he
ordered lin to go Oh with it. Soon after, Mr..
PeE6er, the janitOr, came to hith, and said chat
ne had orders from Mr.. Champ liu not to allow
any work to 20 on in the building without au
order from him (Mr. c. M. Plowman went

a few of the intricacies of his
banking speciality. After a tour
through the club house, which is
admirable in all its appointments
from the attic to the kitchen, we
were shown the different stock
boards, as l deem it polite, under
the circumstances, to term the
gambling tables.
Here in open day, or rather under
brilliant gaslight, they were playing
the various games of cards, rolette,
faro, rouge ct noir and other like
devices, for the exchange of money.
"Now, I'll tell you something" said
Morrissey, "that your Wall street
broker perhaps dare not tell you
The odds of all these games are in
favor OF the bank. You sit down
and play with me a game or two and
you may win; but you play with mt
every night for a month and III

in Wall street did not say anything
of the kind when they threw theii
fancies into the market and ther
played with loaded dice.
