AN INTERVENING PETITION
To Prevent the Receiver Of the Tile Works
from Using Up Its Assets.

In Judge Walkers Court, yesterday, a petition
was fled by John and William Pickens, creditors
of the Encaustic Tile Works. asking that John
l. Mothershead, the receiver, be restrained from
using up the assets of the concern, in carrying
on the Indebtedness, until the general creditors
are secured. The petitioners have notes of the
tile works aggregating $40, OoO, and partially un-
secured, and they allege that the available assets
of the business are being converted to the pay
ment of a claim of $72,O0 0 of the Portsmouth
Savings Bank. The objections to this are given
as follows:
u. That the savings bank has not been
made a party to the suit, and has not entered an
appearance. 2. That the receiver is proceed
ing to run and operate the works. and is incur
ring obligations and creating expenses. for the
payment of which he is using the assets which in
equity belong to the general creditors. 3 That
the receiver has no practical acquaintance
with the business of making and selling tile, that
the business is difficult and complicated. and that
1t is unjust and inequitable to allow the receiver,
at the instance of the stockholders of the
company. which is insolvent, to carry on the
business with the property which equitably be-
longs to the general creditors, without the con-
sent of said creditors, even though they would
not be subjected to any loss thereby. A That
the petitioners are not advised whether the bus
mess of making tile, as carried on by said COM
pany in the past, has been profitable or not, and
they object to the use of the assets, which are
the only means out of which their debts can be
made, by the receiver in paying the interest on
any part of the principal to the savings bank,
unless the bank shall become a party to the
suit and request such payment, and consent that
the general creditors may have a prior lien upon
the real estate securing the claim of the savings
bank for the amount of the assets thus diverted
from the general creditors to the bank"
An order is asked restraining the receiver
from paying any expenses out of the property
belonging to the defendants until the general
creditors are secured, and the court is asked to
allow the claim upon the petitioners notes and
order them to be paid AS Judge Walkers
court will not be in session until September, no
action will probably be taken until then.

Councilmen Eligible to the Legislature.

An act was passed by the General Assembly
in 1881 attempting to disqualify every person
elected to the Common Council or Board of
Aldermen from holding any other county,
township, OF city, Office during the term for
which such person was elected to the Council or
Board. The impression has gone out, on account
of the passage of this act, that it has rendered
councilmen and aldermen ineligible to election
to the State Legislature. This is a mistake. The
act of 1881 was void, for the reason that it at
tempted to amend a section of an old law which
had already been amended. But if valid, it
woul not apply to members of the State Legis-
lature, as they are State officers.

La Porte,s school Bonds.

The Superintendent of Public instruction asks
the Attorney general if the city of La Porte,
which has a civil Indebtedness greater thar 2 per
cent. of its assessed valuation, but is without
any school Indebtedness whatever, can issue
bonds for the purchase of school grounds. In
reply to the question, Attorney general Hord
says that the trustees have no authority for
issuing any such bonds, but they may be issued
by the city or town corporation, upon the adop-
ton Of an ordinance, in which case the city
would become liable for their payment, and as it
would, therefore, constitute an indebtedness in
excess of the prescribed limit, the bonds would
be unauthorized and void.

The Friends Are for Temperance and sound


To the Editor Of the indianapolis journal
AS some members of that society have taken
an active part in the temperance and prohibition
movements of the State, and a few are with that
party who made a State ticket, some people are
reckoning on the whole society going like sheep
astray. On this they are reckoning from false
premises and have come to false conclusions.
The society is like sheep under a great Shepherd
they know the voice of true wisdom and are
following it, and have been following it ever
since the Nation had a political history.
It is true that some of the membership who
are out of joint with the society, and others who
have made failures in their careers Of
life, and been disappointed in their ambition,
have let their gullibility serve as feeders for
crotchety, political factions, which only existed
for the defeat of the great moral mass that the
society is always found with.
When these are found where the Five Points,
yell is the driving force, the saloons are the
ticket suppliers to a temperance convention, and

THE PROHIBITION COMMITTEE.
The State Central Committee Organized and
an Electoral Ticket Decided Upon.

A meeting of the State central committee of
the Prohibition party was held in English Hall
yesterday afternoon. The First and Twelfth
Districts were not represented, letters received
explaining that the absence of the two commit
teemen was caused by their being out of the
State. The committee was permanently organ
lied for the campaign by the cleo
ton of Captain Eli Ritter as chairman,
and Sylvester johnson as secretary and
treasurer. The members Of the committee
pledged themselves to raise the requisite funds
in their respective districts to meet the expenses
of conducting the campaign. The chairman
was authorized to select two members of the
party living in the central part of the State who,
with himself, shall constitute the executive com
mittee which shall have the management of the
campaign. It was decided that a general can
vass of the State and a free dis
tribution of prohibition documents should
be made. They will open their campaign on the
Both inst, when meetings will be held through
out the State, in each county. There was a long
discussion over the question of placing a presi-
dental electoral ticket III the field, and the com
mittee was about evenly divided upon the matter.
The Shiel Democrats demanded that there
should be an electoral ticket, and it was finally
agreed that one should be named, although the
members of the party are not pledged to vote for
it. 1t will be placed in the field to give those
who desire to vote for St John an opportunity
to do SO. Captain Ritter, the chairman of the
State committee, says that he will vote for
Blaine and Logan, and there are many others
with the movement who will not vote
the Prohibition electoral ticket. The electors
will be named by the executive committee.
