Infectious Diseases.

Mrs. Katie Clay, colored, was removed from
No. IVA West North street, yesterday, to the pest
house, with well-defned case of small-pox
There are now nine cases of smallpox at the
pest-house. The order for the removal of Walter
j. Berndt to the pest-house came too late He
died at No. 10 South Illinois street on Sunday.
In the eight or nine cases in Indanola, there has
been but one death. These cases were nearly all
varioloid. 1t is now thought there is no further
danger, and the quarantine at Indanola will be
removed to-day. Measles are becoming epidemic.
Eight or ten cases are reported daily to the
board of health.

Under the Wheel.

George Weise, German, employed at the
Malleable Iron works, was instantly killed and
horribly mutilated at the l.. B. & W. switch,
near the works in Haughsville, aboet o'clock
yesterday afternoon. He had finished his day 8
work and started TO the city on foot, but seeing
a pony engine on the switch just starting for
town, he attempted to step on the foOt.board of
the tender and ride in. In doing SO he missed
his footing and feel under the Wheels Two sets
of trucks passing over his body before the
engine could be stopped. The third set of
wheels stopped on the unfortunate man and
wedged him in SO tightly that 1t was impossible

They Met the Enemy.

The game of baseball between the Indianapo-
lis and Port Huron clubs at the home grounds,
yesterday, was perhaps the most uninterestng
yet played, and resulted in the customary defeat
of the indianapolis boys. Beck, the pitcher for
the visitors was most exasperatingly effective
and the home club succeeded in getting but three
safe hits, while the Michiganders pounded Muir
ply, the new man from New Orleans, for twelve
hits and total of seventeen bases. Peltz, the
other new man from New Orleans, caught, but
did only fairly good work. allowing two men to
score on passed balls, and making but one hit.
Callahan hit Beck for two bases in the sixth
inning, but died at third. Eight of the
of the visitors failed to hit the ball
after three times tanning at it. Clifton, the new
second baseman, easily carried off the honors
for the home club and is a ball player OF ability,
II his work yesterday is a sample of what he can
do. In the eighth inning Beck made the longest
hit ever made on the grounds, pounding the ball
clear over O'Leary's head to the extreme north
west corner of the field, and easily scoring a
home run. When the announcement is made
that the close of the game found the home club
with one score, against their opponents ten, the
nublc will agree that the least said about it the
betteS; The mantle of charity is therefore gently
lhrown over the score. The two clubs play

Wrecked by whisky and Opium.

In the Criminal Court, yesterday, Roland
Dukes, charged with stealing a horse and car
rage, the property Of Mrs. Civilia c. Mick, was
acquitted, it being ehown that, owing to the
long-coptinued use Of opium and alcoholic slim
ulapts, he was of unsound mind. A commission
OF Tnnacy then passed upon his case, and ordered
that he be sent to the Hospital for the Insane.
Dukes was at one time a man of means and In
fiuence, and held high railroad positions. The
failure of the scheme to build line from Har-
rodsburG, KY, TO the Clay-county coal fields, in
which he was heavily interested, in 1875, upset
him financially and physically, and since that
time he appears to have been little more than
wreck of his former self.

Confirmation of the Reported Resisnati

special to the Indianapolis Journal
DETROIT, May 1.-The Rev, A. T. Pierson, of
indianapolis, has resigned the pastorate of the
church of which he is pastor. He is now in De-
troit. The reason for this step, as stated by DIR.
Pierson, are as follows:
When he went to Indianapolis, some months
ago, 1t was with the understanding that the
church to which he went to be enlarged.
Action was, however, deferred until the return
of certain members of the church who were
out of town AS time progressed it be-
came evident that there would be nothing done.
If the work had been pushed when DR.. Pier
son first went to indianapolis 1t would have been
carried through, but as the matter stands there
are 200 more members than the seating capacity
of the church will accommodate There is no ILL.,
feeling whatever on the part of any one, 1t has
been proposed to build a large tabernacle
but DR.. Pierson will have nothing to do with
the project, as it would be likely to create div1-
sion In the most important church of that de-
nomination in the State, and this DIR. Pierson
does not propose to do. AS he now feels he in
tends to devote himself, for a few years, TO the
work OF an evangelist

A PASTORS RESIGNATION.
DIR. Pierson Sewers His Relations
with the Second Presbyterian
Church.
The Rumors Prevalent in This City Con-
frmed by a Dispatch from Detroit
Causes of the Resignation.

Several days ago the Rev. Arthur T. Pierson,
this city, went to Detroit. he is not to return
until tomorrow night or Friday morning. In
the meantime rumors are flying about that the
reverend gentleman has resigned his charge in
this city, and will in few days sever the rela-
lions with the Second Church, which began only
last October, and which, though brief, have
been for the most part pleasant. The
elders Of the church are exceedingly
reticent regarding the subject OF Mr..
Persons resignation. In an interview held las t
night with one of the elders by Journal re-
porter, who had tracked him to his home, the
following ambiguous information was gleaned:
t1on. He has not been satisfied with his work
here. He expected to do evangelical work, aud
that the church was to be enlarged taber-
nacle built. Greater room was needed to reach
the masses. Action was taken in the matter, and
the trustees and congregation were in favor OF It..
were here favored the enlargement of the
church. But nothing has been done in the
MATTER aud last week ne sent in letter to the
session of the elders"
"Can you give the purport of the letter. He
was dissatisfied, wasn't hef"
"He was dissatisfied, but there was no word in
1t about resigning, although it might be taken
as al animation tnat he would resign unless
some things were done. do not think he will
resign, do NOT think he has any intention of
reslg ming I,for one, am in favor of enlargng the
church; or, better yet, of building tabernacle"
The impression, however is that the letter to
the elders may be- taken preliminary step
In the direction of resi- gEation, and the follow
ing special dispatch to the Journal from Detroit
seems to confirm that impression beyond doubt:

A Hard Hearted MAN.


A few days ago a poor wreck of a
mule, barely able to totter along, was
stopped near Madison and Front street
by Inspector Lane, Of the s. P. c. A.
Society. The animals back was raw,
and when taken out of the dray pre-
sented a pitiful sight. He had
good strong frame, but little flesh,
every rib could be counted, and he
seemed unfit for any kind of work,
yet on the dray he had been taken
from was three bales of cotton, weigh
ing over 1900 pounds. The driver
was arrested, taken into the Magis-
trate's Office near by and son Of Mr..
Ed Hawley, to whom the mule be-
lOnged, hired another dray to haul
the cotton of. A large crowd assem-.
bled at the place and but one
expression was vented, that of
commisseration for the suffering brute.
Several also wondered why a man
would treat his property SO, when it
would certainly improve both its value
and increase its working capacity by
better and more humane attention.
On yesterday Mr.. Lane arrested a
driver for Dan Harvey for brute cru
city and he took the man, Dave
Owen, before Esquire Coleman, where
he was fined 81 90. The owner, Mr..
Harvey, became much exasperated at
the interference of Mr.. Lane, and be
handled that officer very roughly. Mr..
Lane, however, said he didn't mind
it at all, as he was only doing his duty
and he meant to continue doing so as
long as the inhumane class let him
live. He may be killed or Grip
pied so as to incapaoitate him from
service, but he will either break up
this inhumanity to the brute creation
in this city, or lose his life in the
effort. The sympathy Of the public
is with Mr.. Lane in his efforts, and
indignation was expressed yesterday
at the conduct of Mr.. Harvey, while
Mr.. Lane bore bis abuse courageously
patiently and with a fortitude which
few would have exhibited under the
aggravated circumstances. Mr.. Haw
ley says, in extenuatiop Of his con-
duct. that he felt justified in biz
course toward MIR. Lane, because The
latter attempted to take his mule
around to Front street, to show tn,
animal to certain parties, and he onl!
interferred to prevent him from dOinl

A Touching Scene.


A queer scene was witnessed on the
outgoing train at the Charleston depot
night before last, A man named
Mills, from White river, Arkansaw
on bis way to TuScumbia, Ala, had
in his care five little children, the
eldest not more than nine years o.
age and the two youngest, twin girls
fourteen days old. They were packed
snugly away in champagne basket
and seemed to be very comfortable
Each had bottle disposed in such 4
manner as to keep the rubber nipples
in their mouths, and the way they
pulled and stopped for breath, anC
pulled again and rolled their eyes up
ward in ecstacy, was delightful to be
hold.
Mr.. Mills stated that the mother
died when they were four days old
and he was taking the little ones II
relatives who would care for them
he despairingly acknowledged his in
ability to do so.

THE GREEN BAISE.
Probable Action of the Athas4
Ties in Regard TO Gambling.

The knights Of the green bAise are
naturally anxious to know whether OF
not the city and county officials will
enforce the law to break up gambling
1t is pretty generally believed thai
the Governor will sign the bill, il
becoming a law. A member Of the
city government was heard to say
while the bill was pending, that if evel
brought to the test it was sure to pass
because, while majority might doubt
the policy of such measure, they
could not afford to put themselves on
record as voting against it, for the
reason that they would at once be
put down by the masses as sym
pathizers with the gamblers, while
in reality their sympathies we're the
other way. His prediction has been
fulfilled.
Under the new law the county
officials will be deprived of consid,
cradle revenue. The practice has
been to indict the gambling houses
once every term and dismiss them
upon payment of a small fine and the
costs of the case. Now sentence to
the penitentiary must necessarily
follow conviction, and the county can
have but one whack at each place,
while before they had four a year.
1t will devolve upon the county Ia
take the lead in the matter, and the
city will follow suit. If the county
makes war the city will do SO. II
the county regulates, so will the city
and both will derive a revenue. So
Judge Hadden intimated this morn
ing.
General Turner, who came in from
Nashville last night, says Hon. j. S
Galloway made one of the best speech
es of the present session yesterday
against the gambling bill. 1t wai
concise, logical and eloquent. DR.,
Porter, in his peculiar way, denounced
it as an outrage upon public policy. A
capable member named Burns sale
the same Puritan spirit which
prompted the measure would drive
him from the State on account o.
his faith. Smallman, the .movel
of the bill, thought twould effectu1l-
ly drive gambling from the State
General Turner says Governor Bat
declared the measure impOlitic anC
impractieahle. lie also said tina
members who voted for the bill sale
they were afraid to do otherwise, a
their Puritan constituents would neve
forgive them.
In regard to enforcing the laV
| General Turner said he would do 5
to his fullest power, and would tax
iu every church festival and cake lot
