STATING THEIR CASE.
Abstract Men Defend Their Right to Keep
Their Federal Court Indexes.

In the case of the United States against Will
lam G. Anderson, to enjoin the use of private
indexes to the records of the federal court in
making abstracts of judgments, with the con-
sent of the defendant Judge Woods yes
terday issued temporary order restraining
the use of the indexes until the suit is finally de-
cided. 1t is the intention of the abstract men to
unite in making the case test of the law. and
of their rights. 1t is claimed that the indexes
were made for them by deputies employed in
the federal clerks Office, during tine term of Mr..
Rowland with his knowledge and
consent, and that. as they paid
for this service, the indexes are
legitimately their private property, to use as
they may desire 1t is claimed. further, that Mr..
Butler has refused to certify to abstracts of
judgments, because he did not regard his records
reliable and that for years their right to fur
nish information as a part of their business had
been undisputed. The assertion that the bust
ness has been source of large revenue they
say, is not true, although it is essential
branch In their line of work.
1t is admitted that the indexes were made for
the abstract men by the clerks employed under
Mr.. Rowland, but the deputies claim that the
service was rendered outside of their regular
duties, aid the government received no fees on

Stolen Goods Recovered,

Night before last four colored prisoners-two
men and two women-were brought into the
station-house on a common charge. They were
found in a house in the rear of No. 276 West New
York street One of the men
gave his name as George Washington.
He formerly worked for John c. s. Harrison,
and when the family moved from the elegant
North Meridian street residence assisted in the
packing. When George Stout who pur-
chased the house and furniture, took
possession, he found a fine damask
curtain. one of pair costing $3.50,
had been taken away. Suspicion fell upon the
servant, Washington, but Mr. and Mrs. Harri-
son regarding him as strictly honest, Detective
Mcmillan, who was working on the
case, let go for awhile. After Washing
ton had been sent to the work-house, yesterday,
for thirty days Officers Walker, Tickle and Nc
MILAN, under the power of a search warrant
went through the house where the arrest had
been made. Upon one of the beds lay the valua-
BILE curtain that had been missing since last
spring. 1t is said Washington has served one
term in the penitentiary.

Obiector Holman,s Economv.

The report comes from Washington that the
congressional committee which attended the
funeral of VIcepresident Hendricks were deeply
disguised over their experience with Mr.. Hol-
man, who kept up continual protest against
the expenditures, which were made from the be-
ginning to the end of the trip. He regarded the
luxury of a chaircar as unjustifable extrava
gance, and insisted that if the members of the
committee must travel in that way at least two
should alternately occupy the same section.
On the return trip he was "guyed" numerically
by all kinds of ridiculous objections to trivial
expenses, and it was seriously suggested to the
great economist that the committee ought to
walk back to Washington to save railroad fare

CITY ATTORNEY DENNY'S SUCCESSOR.
The Democrats Confident of Their Ability to
Elect Him from Their Party.

The night Mayor-elect Denny resigned the city
one of their own faith as his successor went
awry. They had it all arranged, with the.posi
tive assistance of two and the expected help of
the third Republican vote, to make short
work of the contest. But proviso was attached,
and that depended upon President Rorison's &C
ton. If he, Immediately upon the boards ac-
ceptance of Mr. Dennys resignation. issued a
call for joint convention of aldermen and coun-
cilmen to meet at once and elect a sue
cessor then AL Beck was to be given
the Office President Rorison did not
call the convention, hence followed the success
full Coy motion to have the resignation and
question of successor postponed until the first
of reconsideration gone through under that
action, nothing can be done until
that meeting, unless Mr.. Denny renews
his resignation, to take effect before Dec. 81 Il
will hardly do that" said the mayor-elect yester-
day, with an accent suggestive of reason,
which is probably explained in the confidence
the Democrats have of electing their nominee
either before or after the first of January.
Councilman Edendarter asked by a Jour
nal reporter as to the probable successor of Mr..
Denny 1T will be AL Beck, if his successor
is elected Dy the present boards" said he.
"Why?"
''We have enough Republicans to vote with
us-two know of who will not go into their
party caucus"
IF the present boards do not elect, end the
matter is left to the new, who then9"
Either By6eld. Beck or Holman"
'No Republican, eh?"
''No, SIR"
Another feature of the Democratic plan is to
contest the right of the mayor to vote in elect
ing city attorney, and they also expect to have
the Ripley Pritchard issue decided in their favor
by the clerk putting Rpley's name the roll.

The M8nnerchor Fair.

The arrangements for the Mennerchor fair,
which was to have taken place last week, but
was postponed on account of the death of Vice
president Hendricks until next Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday are now being completed
Some important changes in the decoration Of
the hall have been agreed upon. The fair is
supposed to take place at Dresden, in the
park, surrounding the palace of August the
Strong King of Saxony. A beautiful drop
curtain. which has been painted especially for
the occasion, will occupy the rear of the stage.
1t will represent the palace of the King, and will
be beautifully illuminated. The auditorium
will represent the park, and leading
down to it from the palace will be a
broad and spacious terrace, occupied by
the refreshment booths. Distributed about
the park will be the different booths in Gothic
Greek, Roman and Moorish designs The cos
tuning of the attendants of the booths will be
in keeping with the rich and tasteful decorations.
From this it will be readily understood that the
scene to be represented will be both novel and
attractive, and that the fair will differ greatly
from all former entertainments of the kind.
