George w. Geiger has dismissed the suit brought
several weeks ago. contesting the election of
City Treasurer Pattison, and in its stead has in
stituted direct proceedings for the possession of
the office and the recovery of damages The
allegations are the same as those of the previous
suit, having reference to the votes from that
disputed district adjoining the Twenty fifth
ward, and the alleged miscount in other Wards.
The withdrawal of the civil suit is a decided in
dieation of weakness on Mr.. Geiger's part it
is the direct result of Mr. Pattisons to the
first complaint.

A letter from John Brown, jr, of Put-in-B Bay,
to DR.. Collett, State Geologist, mentions the re-
cent attack made upon the character of his father
by Rev. D. N, Utter, in the North American Re-
view, and adds that 1.-THE manly and honorable
sentiments of exconfederate General Shelby
contrasts remarkably with the cowardly attacks
ON the memory of the dead by the professed
friends of liberty In referring to
Utter's attack upon Brown, Shelby
is reported as saying: "A Drawer

a mistake to say that John Brown was a coward. "
He further says that sit was an unfortunate

Advice to Rerrv snlerove.

If the muskrat editor Of the News doesn't hide
his head in shame and modification when he looks
at his thermometer, this morning it may be ac-
copied as pretty reliable evidence of the truth of
the doctrine of total depravity. It will bo
remembered that during the fall Mr.. Sulgrove
predicted an open winter, basing his prognostica-
tons on the fact that the ''muskrats have built
very light shelters for their winter quarters. "
To be sure, one cold snap doesn't
make hard, winter but when the
mercury freezes in the ball it goes to show that
the ''bayou beaver is no great shakes as a
weather prophet, if the muskrat editors report
may be accepted as true. No, Mr.. Sulgrove,
shift on the muskrat and watch the polar bear
for a season or two

A SPELL OF WEATHER.
The Thermometer Down to 20 Below Zero
at II O'Clock Last Night.

The temperature in indianapolis yesterday
afternoon and last night, was lower than for
years past-how many nobody knows, except the
Oldest inhabitant, and he was frozen up and
couldn't tell. AT o'clock yesterday morning
the signal service thermometer indicated 1.30 be-
low zero. -Four hours later, it had raised three
degrees, but by ? o'clock it was down to zero
again. At o'clock in the evening it showed 50
below, and at 10 o'clock 14o below. AT l
o'clock this morning the thermometer indicated
twenty degrees below zero, and was still falling.
These markings are not so low as those of local
thermometers, and likewise in summer the sig
naEservice thermometer does not give as high
indications as others, for the reason that in the
signal service the humidity of the atmosphere is
always taken into account Last evening there
were but few people on the streets, and
the theaters had but small audiences, there
being no attraction like fire at home. 1t was
particularly severe night on those whose business
compelled them to stay out-particularly street.
car and carriage drivers, who suffered greatly.
There is not much encouragement in study
of the indications from the West and North. AT
Bismarck D. T., at 10 o'clock last night, it was
35o below; at Fort Buford, d. T., 2So; at Omaha,
23o, and at Des Moines, 259. A continuation,
and probably an increase of the cold spell, may
be expected here

SENATOR MBNzlES NARROW ESCAPE.
A Drug Clerks Error Almost Causes a Dis
tinguished Gentieman's Death.

Major G. V. Menzies ex-State Senator from
Posey county, and wife, are stopping at the
Grand Hotel the Major having came here to at
tend the Editorial Association banquet. He is
subject to severe attacks of neuralgia and head
ache, for which he uses a remedy composed
chiefly of bromide of potassium in solution Yes
terday afternoon he sent a bell-boy with a vial
to the drug store opposite the Grand Hotel, to
have the prescription file at that store repeated,
and the vial replenished The prescription clerk
was out and boy in the store filed tho vial and
delivered it to the messenger. At 2 o'clock
Major Menzies took dose of the sedative and as
he did so his throat seemed as if touched with
molten lead. Suspecting something wrong, he
pushed his finger down his throat and succeeded
in vomiting. Drs. Newcomer and Lutz were
called, and, arriving promptly, emeties were
given until his stomach was relieved
of its contents. 1t appeared on
investigation that the boy had put into the mix
-ture corrosive sublmate. the biehloride of mer-
curry, the most violent and corrosive mineral
poison Of the entire pharmaeopea, instead of the
bromide of potassium, and of this he had taken
fully fifteen grains. enough to kill half dozen
men at least, with two or three small boys thrown
in. The fact that Major Menzies had just eaten
a hearty dinner and had full stomach assisted
in saving his life, AT 10 o'clock last night he
was entirely out of danger, but suffering from
his throat

Coroner Maxwell yesterday concluded the

street, testified that Mrs Kerner often
showed upon her person marks of her husbands
violence. The coroner returned a verdict that
the woman came to her death from fracture of
the skull inflicted by blows with stick or some
blunt instrument, and that the circumstances
indicated that her husband, Andrew Kerner,
was the assailant
