THE EUROPEAN TROUBLE.
The Views of Resident of Constantinople on
the Vexed Turkish Question.

DR.. Joseph K. Greene last evening entertained
the Indianapolis Literary Club for an hour, after

upon the present status of the "Sick Man of
Europe" DR.. Greene has been twenty-seven
years a resident of Constantinople as Chris

OF Turkish European affairs was earnest and

A Strangers Arrest and Release.

Yesterday John Friedlander, of New York,
was dismissed from arrest by Justice Smock, it
appearing that the charge of Ferdinand Bishop
against him, to the effect that Friedlander had
personated the latter in receiving a consignment
of goods from an express company could not be
sustained. Friedlander and Bishop are in the
same line of misunderstanding curtains and goods
of that character. During the time he was in
custody, the first-named came very near going to
Jail, account of failure to give bond, but the
matter, it seems was adjusted by his paying the
attorneys fees, S. each to A. B. Young and
James Leathers and $40 to Constable Forbes.
This, Friedlander says, was in addition to his
returning the goods on receiving from the prose-
cution what he had paid for them. Attorneys
Young and Leathers say their fees were paid
voluntarily by Friedlander, and Forbes claims
that his $40 was given him for going with the
prisoner in search of bail. Yesterday, however.
all this money was paid back, and the case dis
missed. Justice Smock knew nothing of this
outside arrangement. Friedlander has case in
Justice Johnson's court for provoke. and says he
will seek damages from all concerned for false

AN INJUNCTION REFUSED.
The Superior Court Holds that the Municipal
officers Cannot Be EnjOined.

The Superior Court, in general term, yesterday
heard arguments from o'clock until noon rela-
tive to Frank Dells application for a perpetual
injunction against l. N. Pattson. city treasurer
his sureties, the mayor and boards of aldermen
and counclmen, to prevent them from com
pleting the proposed adjustment of Mr.. Patti
sons deficiency as treasurer. Judge Holman,
on behalf of the petitioners, said the councilmen
and aldermen were not a legislative body but
creature of the Legislature, and therefore an
injunction could lie against them. The defense
through Messrs. Hawkins and Harris, claimed
that the court had no jurisdiction in enjoining
Council from exercising legislative rights in
passing resolutions or motions regarding settle
ments of the citys claims. If Council had no
right any action taken would be null and void
Nobody would be injured for remedy could be
found in proceeding against the sureties of the
treasurer. If Council had the right no one
could interfere
After consultation, Judge Howe announced
the following decision, Judges Taylor and Walker
asserting: IF the city has authority to do W nat
il is charged it is about to do an injunction will
not lie. Ii the city has no such authority, then
the proposed action, If accomplished, will be-
void and constitute no defense to any action
which may hereafter be brought by the city or
any tax payer to enforce the liability of the city
treasurer upon his bond; and In such case there
would be no such irreparable damage as would
be required to be shown to warrant the granting
of the injunction prayed. SO deciding, it is not
necessary for us TO decide whether the city has
has not authority to act plaintiff claims it is
about TO do; and as may be called upon to
decide that question, therefore, We express no
opinion upon it,
Judge Holman said that from that decision he
could take no appeal although he wanted to do
30 badly. He asked the Judges il they would not
grant the injunction and Immediately afterwards
dissolve 1t so appeal could lie. Judge
howe thought that proceeding would place the
court in an unenviable position. The request
WAS refused

 Suddenly the song became fierce, and a lively back and forward step on the part of the Antelopes was the signal for the Snakes to break into couples.

He drew especial attention to the evil done by pallets, to which the guild has replied that, although the art of dancing has not been cultivated as they should wish in England, such pallets as that of Excelsior" at Her Majesty's and the 'tSwans' at the Alhambra had no taiat of improper suggestion about them.
 General Francis A. Walker complains to 8 Boston paper of the impudent intrusion of advertisers, who litter halls and front door steps with all sorts of worthless bills, circu- lars and other trash. One afternoon what purported to be g telegraphic dispatch ad- dressed to him was left at the door. The family had that day been advised of the seri- ous illness of friend, and if he had not been expected home momentarily messen- ger would have been sent with the supposed dispatch. On his arrival the missive was op0uou dAI1o SOu0 cplu6IlOu dLu 1Ouuu LO be a mock dispatch advising the recipient to go and see a certain theater company. Gen.

The Costumes and the Excitement In-

 From the Baltimore Sunday News.l
 The sight of young men snake hunting days beforehand had raised expectation on tiptoe We knew that priest was praying and fasting in the estufa, where the snakes were imprisoned in broken water jars; we knew also that Moki has skill to charm 8 refractory snake by tickling his back with the vanes of two long eagles pens that he carried fixed to wooden handle. When we rode into the village on the momentous after noon all we saw at first was leafy bower or tabernacle in the middle of a court that was newly swept, but not cleared of dogs, but a string of fox tails hung over the entrance of an estufa. descended the ladder and was in the tsgreen room" of the "Antelopes." !" Some twenty Indians of all ages were red dening their moccasins, brushing their yard long hair and amounting their bodies with a black pigment made of decomposed corn. A large picture done in colored sands on the floor, figured four serpents, a white, red, green and brown one, rearing their heads over bank of clouds Of the same four car dinal colors.
 In another estufa I found an equal num- Der in a more advanced stage of costuming. These were the ''Snakes." Their bodies also were blackened; their shoulders, three spots on their bodies and the calves of their legs were painted pink. They wore heavy neck laces, painted aprons of strange design, and fine moccasins and garters. Their faces were sooted and red feathers were in their hair. A tortoise shell rattle was attached to the right garter. In their hands they carried feather sticks and pouch filled with cornmeal was slung to one wrist. Splitting corn starch on each others faces for gloss to the soot was the finishing touch. Climbing the ladder in silence. they were hideous enough, fit misrepresentation of poisonous reptiles, or de- mons, for that matter. They stood upon the order of their going; size, not age determin- ing the place of each. The last three, very small boys, had to take two steps on each rung followed on the heels of these pre- cocious children, and hastened to favorable point of observation among the multitude on the fiat terraced roofs.

PREPosrBRoUs ssUNIoNIsM.. :.

PREPOSTKROUS SUNIONISM.s,
 The contest between Theodore Thomas and the Musical Protective union of New York city is perhaps as interesting thing of it's kind as has ever occurred. Certainly a ''union" never made more outrageous use of it's power than that which has led to this contest. According to the rules which govern the members of the Musical Protective union, a residence of six months in this country is 8 necessary condition of membership, and all members are forbidden to play in public with musicians who are not members, under penalty of fine for two offences and of ex-, puJsion in case of third. These rules, which are in force in no other musical union in this country, have, it is said, been bsnef- cial to the musicians of New York city, as they have prevented almost entirely the coming of new musicians to the city, thus giving the resident musicians clear field. In organizing his new orchestra Mir. Thomas was obliged to go abroad for several players. All but three of these were obtained so far ih advance that when MT. Thomas began his popular concerts they were members of the union. Two of the three were violin players, and the third was an oboe player. The limit of six months will expire for the two violin players to-day, and in order to avoid all un- necessary collision with the union MT. Thomas substituted other men for them at his first concerts, saying that he was willing to do that because he could easily obtain fair sub stitutes here. But the oboe player is different and rare bird. There are very few in the world, and none in this country who will answer MT. Thomas purpose. MT. Thomas has offered to employ any competent substitute whom the nnion can produce, but none can be found. This being the case, he has insisted, and all the members of his orchestra sustain his position, that the u uriors ought t, ,~aivez zbz=lexx- <e.e-sl.A ground of an extraordinary emergencyH This the union refuses to do, and has att tempted to levy fine of $10 man, or about $75O night, for the first offence, and double that amount for the second upon Mr. Thomas and his orchestra, to be follow ed by expulsion in case of third.
 MT. Thomas, having failed in "moral sua- sion," is going to try what the law can do. He has obtained 6 temporary injunction against the union, and he will seek to have it made permanent. It is difficult to see how this will help him much if the union re- mains firm, and breaks up his orchestra. It is very interesting and significant case, and the outcome of the struggle will be worth noting
