The Bones of the Giasticutis.

DR.. Collet, the State Geologist, who spent two
days and several dollars trying to find the giant
skeleton which it was reported had been I'M
earthed near shelbyvllle. yesterday received a
letter from Dr. NJ. NJ. Adams, of Greenfield, in
relation to the matter There seems to have
been some mistake in the geographical location
of the alleged monstrosity, which it is now
claimed is in the possession of R. j. strick-
land, editor of the Greenfield Jeffer-
sontan. DIR. Adams, at the request of DR..
Collett, investigated the matter, and in a letter
received from MIN yesterday he says: "There
are few fragments of q skeleton found in a
gravel pit on Mr.. BOots's farm, but not or a
giant, by any means The size of the Uranium
was not larger than the average of the modern
Indian, do the fragments indicate that the
person was above five feet eight inches in
height. The whole thing is giant fraud and an
imposition on the credulity of the people,"

QUO WARRANTO PROCEEDINGS.
Eli Heiny VIII Contest the Election ofCounty
Treasurer WATSON in the Courts.

Eli Heiny, the defeated candidate for County
Treasurer at the election last year, yesterday in
stltuted quo warranto proceeding to contest the
election of Captain WATSON, as that gentleman
had just taken possession of his office. Shortly
after the election it was limited that all the de-
feated Democratic candidates would contest, and
1t is now understood that Mr.. Heiny has been
selected to make the sacrifice test case. The
grounds for the contest, stated in the COM
plant, are: That Wasson's name was on tickets
that were not printed on plain white paper,
without any distinguishing mark or embellish-
ment as required by law, but white double
ply cardboard stiff and elastic, so that it could
be easily distinguished, 1t is further alleged that
several of these tickets could he and frequently
were, folded together and cast one ballot,
sprlnglng apart and separating after they got in
Une DOx. The claim is made that such tickets
were used SO that challengers could lnJimdate
voters, and that 5000 of them were voted; and
tnat ON this account the relator WAS defeated.
He asks that the court compel Captain WATSON
to answer and show by what authority he holds
the Office, and also wants $1,000 for the alleged
unlawful retention of the same Mr.. Heiny may
set his mind at rest so far as the authority is
concerned, for Mr.. Wasson has the certificate of
the Secretary OF State III which that is vested.
Nlehol and Franklin are attorneys for the plain
tiff, and the case is set down for the 18th inst.
Captain WATSON did not seem TO be pa r. iculariy
disturbed by the suit, and there Ia little proba-
billy that IL will amount 10 much.

A Pleasant Occasion.

The members OF Raper Commandery, their
wives and friends, celebrated the return of the
Argonauts by social reunion, at Masonic tenn
pie, last night, which was one of the most pleas
ant affairs imaginable. The refreshments were
all from California, consisting principally of
elegant fruits and wines, and, If one can judge
from the samples with which the Journal was
favored, a general exodus to California may be
expected soon. The time, aside from that spent
at the spread, was pleasantly spent in social
intercourse and relating personal experiences
to those who were compelled to stay at home.

THE INSANE HOSPITALS.
The Session Yesterday of the Commissioners s
for the Construction of the New
Hospitals.

The Insane Hospital commissioners were in
session yesterday and again last night. The
members of the commission were all present
with the exception of Hon. DeFoe Skinner, of
Valparaiso, whose nearest route in coming to
Indianapolis is by way of Chicago. and he did
not come because his presence is not impera-
lively required at this session. Mr.. Charles F.
Coffin, of Richmond, gave the commissioners
statement of his observations on his recent visit
to the insane asylums in England and Scotland,
and the session was devoted to the discussion of
the congregate, cottage and mixed systems of
treatment Mr.. Ketchum, the architect for
the commission, presented an outline of
plans for the buildings, which were carefully ex-
amined, ana suggestions were received from DIR.
]. G. Rogers, the eX-superintendent of the Ins sane
Hospital, who will have supervision of the plans
The ideas of MIR. Coffin upon the building of the
hos pitals were also solicited. The commission
ers determined to defer action upon the location
OF the site of the Evansville hospital until more
could be learned regarding the railroad and water
supply advantages which would be required
They have about reached conclusions upon the
matter of location, cOnditionally, but there will
be definite action at this session, which will
probably close this afternoon.

The board of county commissioners, who are
attending to the business of the county in a way
that Is to be commended, will, to-day, commence
an investigation into the schoOl-fund loans and

ties, Some of the obligations are of long stand
ing, and close inquiry will be made into them
