The Senate yesterday passed a bill appro-
priating 50, 1874 6 to Reimburse the city of
INDIANAPOLIS for money paid out in con-
struc.ing the Female Refcrmatory sewer
The House yesterday suspended the con-
stitutional rule and passed the Senate bill
fixing the time for holding court IN the
Twenty-ffkh, Twenty-eighth and Ferty-sixth
Judicial Districts.
Hon. Thomas Hoban was a caller on the
Democrat last night, and spent the evening
with a party Of friends in this Office. Mr..

Senator Faulkner yesterday presented a
petition signed By Mrs. james L. Benham,
Mrs. Charles White and Mira Co1op, praying
the Senate to pass the bill requiring the
teaching IN the public schools of the effects
OF alcohol and narcotics upon the human
system.
The Appellate Court bill was called up
yesterday, on q motion to recomInit to q
special committee, with instructions to
strike a two of the three courts therein
provided for. The motion TO recommit was
laid on the table, and the further considera-
tien of the bill indefinitely postponed.
The Governor signed two bills yesterday
IN act to appropriate money to pay the ex-
penses of the present session of the General
Assembly, and directing the manner of its
employment; and On act to amend Section
300 OF an act entitled "An act concerning
public offenses and their punishment"
1t has been reported and published in the
Journal that Representative Smith, OF War
rick, was circulating q petition asking for a
Trusteeship of The Soldiers Orphans Home.
This is q mistake; Mr.. Smith is asking that
the Trustees appointed elect him Superin-
teDdent. Mr. Smith Is every way an excel.
lent gentleman; was four ysars q soldier,
eight months in a rebel prison, and Is now a
minister and c man of many good qualities.
The Minute.
The House bill, requiring the effects of
alcohol and narcotics upon the human sys-
tenn to be taught in the common schools of
the State, came up on q second reading in
the Senate yesterday. An amendment by
Senator Foulke, that after September 1, 1885.
physiology and hygiene shall be taught with
SPECIAL reference TO the effects OF alcoholic
drinks, stJlaUlants end narcotics On the hui
man system, was adopted by a vote of 24 to
1s, and the bin was ordered sDgrosssd.
The bill to provide for raising money to
Complete the new State House came up in
the House at 3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
being the special order for that hour. Mr..
Mock, Of Wells, offered three amendments,
all of which were adopted. The first makes
an appropriation of $500 600 for the work
this year. The second provides for q tenn
porary loan Of $500. 600 to anticipate the two
cent tax levy, and the third appropristes
$4,000 to furnish the building when COM
pleted. The bill, which really became q new
one when thus amended, then passed.

Der of about twenty-five, met yesterday
evening and were addressed by Mr.. Seiden.
sticker on the subject of the loans affecting
the institutio rs. He said the general bill be-
fore the Legislature had passed bot the special
bill Is now pending. he said the present
law is oppressive because it discriminstes
against the associations and in favor of the
banks. and be was in favor of a better law.
Mr.. Frenzel thought the present law good
enough. The only question is how the
taxes shall be paid. If the assessors
do their duty they will call
upon the stockholders, and then assess them
as reported. Albert Bake also took this
view of the matter, after which Mr.. Seiden-
sticker again arose and defended biz posi-
ion. His speech was ordered printed, and
q copy OF 1t is to be furnished each member
Of the Legislature.

the matter was thought to hsve dropped out

was heard that the Express Company was by
no means satisfied with the return OF the
package, and that q detective was still en-

anything was learned through this agency.
or that the Company has bad any grounds to
suspect the parties, who have been dis
charged, with any criminality in connection
with the temporary loss of the package.
However, they no longer draw wages at the
old stand. Though when released from the

It is eaid that the Company agreed 10 give
O'Hara constant employment in considera-

placed in the safe, and Polk WAS The porter.
