CATCHING A CAYYoN-BAL
The Astounding Performances of a

ist in question being "Platt, the modern

breech-loading cannon, the proiectile

serted, and the young athlete ran nimbly
up to the stage, Mr.. Bradenburg holding
on to the lanyard of the gun. With no
other preparation than Il keen glance at
his location, Pratt extended his hnnds
and called Ready" The first shot
was not correctly delivered, and it fell
with ponderous crash on the stage Mt his
feet, but the second was superb success,
and Plat caught and held aloft the missile,
which had he missed it would Just about
have crushed him. He states that he has
caught the ball ut a distance of $50 feet,
and from the ease with which the feat of
| yesterday was performed there seems nc
reason to doubt his word. Next he lifted
with one hand from the ground loaded
barrel weighing some 125 pounds, and
then with both hands raised it above his
head, lowering and raising it time and
again without apparent effort. This was
followed by raising in a similar manner a
barrel weighing not far short of 200
pounds. The exhibition fully justified
his herculean claims.

MUNICIPAL TAX COLLECTIONS.
The Law Providing that the Taxes May Be
Collected by the County Treasurer.

Many letters Of inquiry have been received
within the last few days, by the Journal and the
Secretary OF State, regarding the law enacted by
the late Legislature providing that municipal
taxes may be collected by the county treasurer
The law is generally misunderstood. 1t pro-
yides that the board of trustees of any incor-
perated town and the common council of any
city containing population of less than 10000
Thereby applying to all municipal corporations
IN the State except Indianapolis), as shown
by the last census of the United States,
IN which the Office Of city assessor
has been previously abolished, may. by provi s.
ion contained in the ordinance, or resolution,
fixing the tax levy for any year, provide that the
taxes SO levied shall be entered by the auditor of
the proper county upon his duplicates, and col
lected by the treasurer of such county, as other
taxes for State and county purposes are col
leeted instead of being collected by the officers
of such town or city. A certified copy of such
ordinance or resolution shall be, by the clerk of
such town or city, filed with the auditor of the
county on or before the first Monday in June of
each year, and said auditor shall assess said
taxes against all the property and polls within
the corporate limits of such town or city, subject
TO taxation, land enter the same upon his tax
duplicates, and the treasurer of such county
shall collect such municipal taxes as other taxes
and pay the same over, when collected, to the
proper officer of such town or city When town or
city taxes collected by county officers under
this act, the same may be paid in installments
on the first Monday in November. in Ike man
ner as similar taxes for State, county, and town
ship purposes are payable, and shall become de-
Hnquent in like manner and be subject to the
same penalties upon non-payment as other taxes
and all provisions of the law.concerning the COL
lecting of State county and township taxes by
county officers shall apply to the collection Of
town and city taxes by county officers under the
provisions of this act" There is an emergency
elause to the law.

An Indianapolis Sharper Arrested.

Mark Francis, alias Francis Hamilton, who
was employed in this city at odd clerical jobs in
the Department of Public Instruction, and
swindled several of our prominent citizens out
of sums of borrowed money, as well as treating
various citizens Of Cincinnati in the same way,
was arrested yesterday at Cincinnati for loiter-
ing, and sentenced to sixty days confinement in
the work house. Papers were found on his per-
son showing that he was frst-class sharper
from New York, and other letters in his posses
sion gave evidence that he has committed Grim
inal offenses in numerous places About two
weeks since Francis was arrested for obtaining
money under false pretenses of Superintendent
Peasley, of the Cincinnati high-schools, but was
released on his supposed high standing in society
Since that time he has been leading the degraded
life Of vagabond.

THE TEMPERANCE WORKERS.
Officers Elected and the Business Of the
Convention Finally Completed.


The Women's Christian Temperance Union
met again yesterday and elected the following
officers: President, Mrs. nj. A. Siddall; secre-
tary. Miss Helen Reed; treasurer, Mrs M j.
Morgan. The convention adopted series of res
olutions indorsing various reforms, and the
members pledged themselves to redouble their
efforts to carry out the purposes Of the union.
Local unions were requested to organize Bands of
Hope and to secure the systematic teaching Of
temperance in the Sunday schools. The efforts
of Commissioners Murphy and Morrison to
enforce the Sunday and liquor laws were earn
estly commended, and it was decided to petition
the authorities to put stop to the Sunday base
ball games. The efforts of either the State or
city to bring about high license was condemned as
unjust, unwise and unchristian.n The thanks of
the union were extended to Senators Foulke and
Winters, and Representatives Stacy, Jameson
and Hoban for their support of the hygiene bin
during the session of the late Legislature. 1t
was decided also that the county commissioners
should be petitioned to appoint police matron
to look after the Interests and comfort of the
female prisoners. A resolution was adopted in
dorsing the course of Miss Frances E. Willard,
and denying that she had ever made the state
ment that she had received divine revelation
regarding woman suffrage. The convention adj
journed to meet again Oct IL, 1885.

ADJUSTMENTS.

THE MEXICAN ORCHESTRA AT ! GRAND.
The audience that left the Grand Opera-house
last night were pronounced in their expressions
of delight at the concert given by the Mexican
Typical Orchestra The character of the music
rendered last night was both classical and popu
lar, and the entire work, both by orchestra and
soloists, was extremely artistic. There are some
innovations upon the usual instruments of the
erchestra-no reeds or brasses being used-but
instead are bandolins, 'cellos and salterios, the
latter an instrument of Mexican invention. The
effect of the Instrumentation is pleasing in the
extreme, and there is tinge of the poetic and
romantic in the orchestral work that is charac-
teristic of the children of the south. Every
number was warmly applauded and several en-
cores were rendered. The violin solo of Signor
Figueroa was marked by mastery technique
and finish and feeling that stamps him an
artist. Signor Carlos Cart rendered solo on
the xylophone that was warmly applauded, and
he is certainly the finest soloist on that instru
ment ever seen here. The playing of Signor Vega
on the bandolin was rare treat, and was marked
for exquisite sweetness and shading The solo
upon the salterio, by Signor Garcia, was quite
gem, and closed the second part of the pro-
gramme. The orchestra then performed pot
pouri of popular airs finishing the programme
