Bills Vetoed and Approved.

The Senate enrolled bill number 325, entitled
An act authorizing the dissolution of the In
diana Agricultural, Mechanical and Trottisg
Park Association, and declaring an emergency, "
met with a veto yesterday at the hands of Gov
ernor Gray, because he thought that it
conficted with the Constitution, which says,
corporations other than banking shall not
be created by a special act, but may be formed
under general laws" The bill under considera-
ton is thought by the Governor to be special
legislation. Another objection is that the bill
provides that the corporation may be dissolved
by a majority vote of the stockholders; but the
charter of a corporation, after investments made
under it's provisions, is a contract which the Leg
~islature cannot impair or compulsorily amend,
without a provision in the incorporating statute
reserving the power to alter or amend the
same.
The Governor has signed the following seven
bills, which are now laws: An act to protect all
persons in their civil rights; an act regulating
weights and measures; an act relating to the re-
moval of instructions from highways; an act for
the incorporation of building associations; an act
preventing the ownership of lands in Indiana by
aliens; an act authorizing colleges to own and
sell real estate; and an act to amend the act re-
lating to the presentation Of claims against
counties,

Want Their Money Back.

William G.. Sloan and Sam c. Dawson have
fled suit against the Harrisburg Car Manufact-
uring Company, of Harrisburg, Pa, for breach
Of contract and warranty. demanding $4,074
judgment. The complaint alleges that the plain
tifs purchased, with j. NJ. Buser, from the com
pany, a twelve horsepower traction engine and
plows. A warranty was given by the company,
and the contract stipulated the sum of l,6l0
was to be paid-s536 cash on delivery, and notes
for the remainder, 1888 and 1886, due and payable
respectively one and two years after date. The
plaintiffs allege that the engine was not powerful
enough to pull six plows under any circum-
stances, and that. Notwithstanding competent
driving, it wholly failed to work, that they
shipped the engine and machinery to Dakota, at
at a cost of 81, 900, where it was to do service,
and, on the several counts, judgment is de-
manded.

THE METHODIST MINISTER'S.
The Question Of Proper Amusements Dis
cusSed-The Views of the Pastors.

The Methodist ministers met as usual, yester
day morning, Rev. S. A. Bright presiding.
Rev. j. w. Duncan reported that he had
made some Investigation in reference to the
Bible work in the city. He said the books were
sold at the depository at usual retail rates. The
only distributing of Bibles in the city lately has
been done through the Y. M. G. A. 1t seems that
the Bible work is practically allowed to go by de-
fault. After this partial report, the committee
was continued, with instructions to confer with
Drs. Carrier and Gillette in reference to the
questions involved.
At this point the subject for the morning,
Proper Amusements," was taken up. Rev.
Ward, who was to have led the discussion, not
being present, Rev. Wells was appointed to lead.
He thought that there were many games inno-
cent per Sc, but by association or consequences
are really harmful He thought that the church
was not for the purpose of furnishing amuse-
ments, but should exert it's influence to form and
foster right principles. Roller -skating has be-
come a curse because of the spirit of gain which
controls it
Mr.. Rawls thought ministers ought not to take
up any specific amusement and condemn it, but
should ascertain whether it was worldly or for
the glory of God, and by this division decide.
The home is the place for the amusement Of the
children.
Mr.. Ward said that he thought that 'laugh
and grow fat" was not entirely an irreligious
saying. There is q vein of humor in the nature
of everyone-all the way from Peck's bad boy to
the most staid old Christian imaginable. 1t may
not be on exhibition. but it is there. Preachers
may put the standard too high and thereby keep
some discouraged and away from Christ. There
are proper and improper amusements. If there is
any amusement in a drunken brawl, a Sunday
street parade, or staying at home from church.
drinking beer and playing cards, it is manifestly
improper. The devil has captured almost the
entire amusement world, and we cannot afford to
follow him up in order to be amused.
MIR. Asbury thought that the great sin was in
the craze on these subjects.
Mr.. Schaal thought that people ought to open
their homes to the children's friends, even if car
pets are soiled and brio a brac displaced. Better
have it thus than to have the children wandering
out in the world without restraint.
DR.. Marine thought these things could not be
legislated out of the church. People must grow
out of them by an advance in spirituality and
goodness. The trouble is that many who are in
the churches are there to be amused; that is
their idea of religion. They do not understand
what is meant when you talk about salvation
through believing in Christ.
Reverends Halstead and Helm joined in the
discussion. The subject for two weeks is
Bishop Tayloris Work" to be opened by l. n.
Mcconnell and S. Tincher.

AMUSEMENTS.
CHARLOTTE AT ENGLIsH'S OPERA
HOUSE.

CHARLOTTE THOMPSON AT ENGL1sH's OPERA
HOUSE.
Last night, at English's Opera-house, Miss
Charlotte Thompson began her weeks engage
ment, presenting Jane Eyre" in which she
personates the heroine. Miss Thompson is so
fayorablY known in this familiar role that com
ment is superfluous. Suffice it to say, in Jane
Eyre she is without a peer, and as on emotional
actress ranks high in her profession. The rep
ertoire presented during the week will
evidence her versatility. The company
is Of uniform excellence, and the prin-
cipal actors have been in support
a number of seasons. Mr.. Charles Craig made
q manly Rochester, and the Lady Ingraham, of
Wooderson, a clever comedian, was funny as
the major domo. Little Silvia was quite
natural as Adele, the minor ward. Mrs. Watson,
as Mrs. Fairfax, was hardly well up in her lines,
and marred some of the scenes. Otherwise, the
performance was satisfactory. Mr.. W. 7. Doyle,
Mr.. G. w. Swain, Miss Dragon, Mr.. Yearance,
MIR. Burke and Mr.. Ecanery sustained the other
roles. Tonight Nell Gwynne' will be given,
East Lynne" being the bill for Wednesday
matinee.
"a A BABY AT THE GRAND oPERA-HoUSE
Charles Hoyt's very laughable %conceit, "A
Rag Baby was presented to q large audience
last night at the Grand. IA Rag Baby" defes
analysis. BY some it has been catalogued a
''hoss play" and a patchwork quilt" No mat
ter what the category, it is still very. very
funny. The conceit is a satire on the sporting
craze, and Mr.. Frank Daniels, who plays Old
Sport, q village runner, presents a quaint type
of character often seen in country towns.
Daniels, as a comedian, is grotesque. and
his mannerisms a picture Of mellowed
buffoonery. The conceit furnishes the vehicle
for the introduction Of numerous specialties
which were heartily encored. Miss Bessie San
son, as Venus, sang and acted gracefully, and
the trios of Miss Ensing. Miss Lane and Tiny
Jackson were heartily encored. Mr.. Charles
Drew was hilarious as Tony Jay, and the Miss
Pratt of Miss Reemer relieved the gayety of
her demure pupils. The song by the tramps was
one of the features of the performance. The
remaining parts were well taken. "A Rag Baby"
will fill out the first half of the week.
II MONARCH MUSEUM.
The Dime Museum presented the following
bill for the week, consisting of the automatic
clock, "Boz" the trained dog, a remarkable ex-
ample of intelligence; a den of large serpents,

The Board of Aldermen met last night. A
number of matters from the Council were pre-
sented for concurrence. Mr.. Rorison moved
that the Board do not concur in the action of the

Park to the Oliver plow works-that firm not
intending to come here any way-ayes {, nays /.
The usual monthly appropriation ordinances
from the Council were passed.
An ordinance passed requiring the Big Four
Railway Company to place a fagman at the
Maryland-street crossing.

Gen. Foster, Judge Martindale. S. r. Bowen
and w. ID. Wiles, of the committee from the
Board of Trade, spoke, strongly favoring the
market-house.
The Council then went into committee Of the
whcle, reporters being excluded.
When the doors were again opened Mr.. Trusler
moved that the report Of the committee be
adopted, and called for the previous question.
Mr.. Edenharter attempted to flibuster, but
went down, a few small bubbles, in the shape of
a protest, covering a page of foolscap being left
behind to mark the place where he went down.
He made a strenuous effort to get the protest in
print as a part Of the Council proceedings, but
the majority relentlessly pushed him under, and
he went down for the third and last time.

Damage Suit Against the Big -Four.

The damage suit Of Christian Geisel against
the c.; l., st. L. & c. railroad is or trial in Room
8. This suit grows out of a claim made by
Geisel for rent. It seems that before he pur-
chased land the company had secured right of
way through his land, and the contract stipu-
lated that the owner should have the land up to
the grades. The company built a station on the
ground and put an employee upon it who cult
waited the land, hence the demand for damages.
