Mr.. Hendricks, accompanied by his wife and
Senator Voorhees,, left last evening for the
East, and will be present at the Democratic jol
LITIGATION meeting in Brooklyn Thursday
night, where Mr. Hendricks and Mr.. Voorhees,
will probably speak They will spend two or

Indiana Democrats, and the fact that Senator
Voorhees,, the representative of a large constitu-

Center township for $4,000 damages for per
sonal injuries He alleges that in November,
1882, while walking across the Pogues run bridge,
on Brookside avenue, plank gave way and he
was precipitated into an excavation sixteen feet
deep, and that he received such spinal injuries
as to partially paralyze him, and render him
forever incapable of work.

Henry N. Spaan has commenced proceedings
against the Atlas Engine Works for $40, 900 dam

gence on his own part

Miss Deans Art Exhibit.

Miss Mary Dean gave an art exhibit yesterday
afternoon at her residence to number of invited
friends The exhibit consisted of nearly 800
pieces, all of them from the hand of the late vii
bur ". Woodward the talented young Indiana
artist whose brilliant life closed little more
than two years ago. These pieces comprised
sketches and studies, in pencil, India ink, water
eolors and oil, many being mere memoranda or
suggestions of work shat would have been com
pleted had his life been spared. The collection
showed the great versatility of the young artist
and more than that, an untiring industry
that allied with his genius, would in time have
made him among the first of Americas artists
His painting of Ossian. harp in hand singing to
the widow OF Toscar. which attracted great at
tention at the recent art exhibition, was g ven a
better light in the exhibit yesterday, and showed
many beauties in the picture not marked before
Miss Emily Bingham read paper Oh Ossian
which gave increased interest to the painting.

Reports of Officers Show the Lodge To Be
in Flourishing Condition.
The seventh annual meeting of the Grand
Encampment, Independent Order of Oddfellows,
was held yesterday in the hall of the order, $50
subordinate encampments being represented
The grand patriarch. w. H. Jacks, submitted
his report He finds, on a careful comparison
of the whole year with former years, that there
is much to encourage, AMI confidently predicts a
bright future for the Indiana jurisdiction. The
last six months of the year there had not been
taken that interest in the work that was exhib-
tied during the first six months. This is ac-
counted for by the warm summer months and
the long and exciting political campaign, which
attracted the attention of the MEMBERS and
kept them from their lodge meetings
In pursuance to the resolution passed at the
last session. he said he had appointed John W.
McQuiddy, past grard representative, to fill the
position of grand instructor, and he had done
much good in rendering the work in this branch
of the order uniform.
The grand patriarch recommended that in con-
sequence of the fact that the patriarchal degree,
since the revision, is entirely new involving many
floor movements and appointments necessary to
an Intelligent rendering and the introduction of
new features in the G. Il. and r. P. degrees, the
encampments have been in need Conformation as
to their rendering and should be placed in pos
session of some mode or system that will enable
them to impressively render the degrees, In
some of the eastern jurisdictions much attention
has been given to this work. and great perfection
has been attained resulting in benefit to this
branch of the order by increasing interest and
attendance in encampments. just what forms
and agencies are applied it is impossible to learn
from mere description.
1t is recommended that some competent
brother be appointed to visit the East and wit
ness the work, take notes and put in practice his
observations, and give an exhibition in this
building in May the expenses of said brother
to be paid by the Grand Eneampment

A Card from charles Baden.

70 the Editor of the indianapolis Jou rnal
An article in your valuable paper informs me
that, as an explanation for the action of Mr.. ks
sell toward me on election day, it is said that
had heretofore repeatedly challenged men whom
1 knew to be voters, and that 1 was challenged
in retaliation.
This explanation amounts to nothing but q
miserable lie; and the man who gives such an
explanation is a sanderer. l have never in my
life challenged anyone, be he one whom knew to
be voter or one whom | did not know to be a
voter; and it will not be possible for Mr.. Kissell
or anyone else to name a single person who was
challenged by me at any time.

Sill Undecided,

The Governor reached no decision in the Ker-
ner case yesterday, but he states that he will to-
day. Yesterday afternoon he again examined
the premises where the murder occurred, and
he has made careful investigation of the min
mute details of the circumstances surrounding
the case. He gave the whole of the
day yesterday to the consideration of the evil
dence and the plea in behalf of the condemned
man. The scafTold, erected before the granting
of the respite last month, still remains standing
and everything is in readiness for the execution,
but the opinion seems to prevail among those who
have signed the petitions to the Governor, that
the sentence of death will be committed to life
imprisonment

LUCKY TIM.

Tim Flanagan always lived quite high
For mkt to the roof he had home;
A laborin' man who kept job,
For Tim was niver hand to roam.
Wan avening Tim was ploddin' home,
His legs wur heavy, his pockets lite;
SEE Tim to himself The laborer's lot
I'm not regardin' with delite.
He slowly trudged along the 'strate,
When down forninst him on the ground
He spied bundle nately tied.
1t wondered Tim what he had found;
He picked it up wild u cautious hand
Begorra! 1t might be dynamitel
But when he saw twas Bull Dog, thin
His heart went thumpin wild delfto.
Bedad, SEE Tim, it's the laborin' man
Is the lucky mortal after all
It's him as hes his eyes cast down
Picks dainties up the rich let fall;
For if I'd had me wish this mite.
Twas Bull Dog that most desired;
IT'S Bull Dog fine cut gives dehte
To a man that's falin' wake aud tired.
When dimes arc scarce and Bull Dog gone
IT'S thin the world gets lookin' blue;
But not rsson for complaint
Has man wild Bull Dog as his chew.
And Tim was right beyond doubt,
For chewers now on every hand
Agree with Tim that Bull Dog is
The finest chew in all the land.

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE,
Some Chemicals Which Should Find a Conn
mon Use I'm Every Family.

sc III Livery 1t dhiig'
1t is surprising, considering how
many women have been instructed in
chemistry in their school days, to find
how few housekeepers make any use of
chemicals in various household processes.
Especially is this the case in cleansing
processes The washing of clothes is
usually wholly accomplished by rubbing
the clothes on the dashboard, and with
no other detergent than soap. The
rubbing Of the clothes wears them out
far more than use, and if housekeepers
only knew, or if knowing they would
take advantage of the fact. that many
washing compounds will almost entire
" cleanse clothes which are soaked in
them over night. and thus almost en-
tirely do away with the labor and wear
of the washbOard. wash-dav might
be robbed of half its terrors.
Receipts for washing fluids, the prin-
cipal ingredients of which are soda-ash,
ammonia and lime, can be found in
nearly every household receipt-book.
and are very cheap and harmless All
such washing compounds are useful and
convenient for cleaning woodwork,
paints and carpets in house: also in
washing dishes and securing that deSid-
eratum of hOuSekeepers. clean dish
cloths. Ammonia is a simple. cheap
and harmless chemical that should be
bought by the quart and kept in every
family. A few drops added to water
will cleanse children's hair and make it
soft and sweet; it is an admirable dis
infectant to remove the odor of perSpir-
stion; it will remove grease spots from
clothing and often restore colOrS to
stains. Its common and frequent use
can not be too frequently urged.
. BOraX is another chemical that should
find a common use in every family. For
cleansing the teeth and sweetening the
breath few grains of the powder in
water are uneNcelled. 1t also softens
and whitens ftannelS.
Salicylic acid is a perfectly odorleSs
and harmless vet powerful disinfectant.
and for many disinfecting uses in the
household is invaluable. Its very cheap
and convenient in form. In these DAYS, |
when to stay various forms of disease is |
so important. mothers and housekeeperS |
would do well to give study and thought !
to these things. and to trV to make their
