ADvERsEs OF THE LIQUOR LEAGUE.
A Railroad official Refuses to Run an Excur-
sion Train for the Law Breakers.

There was but one affidavit filed by the
Liquor League yesterday. That was against
Charles Grifiths, barber, on College avenue,
FOR shaving customers last Sunday. 1t was
sworn out by H. L. Brown, the detective who.
not long ago. was in jail for obtaining money
under false pretenses. The case against Grifhths
will come up before Squire johnson, on Monday.
In Squire Shocks court, Thomas Kelly was
tried for delivering coal on Sunday, two weeks
ago. The evidence showed that the company
for which he worked was out of coal on Satur-
day evening, when they received an order from
En2lish's Hotel, with a note that the hotel was
entirely out of fuel. Early Sunday morning
the railroads delivered a couple of carloads to
the firm, and Mr.. Kelly delivered enough
70 the hotel to last them until
Monday morning. The Squire acquitted
Mr.. Kelly on the ground that his work was
necessity, for the reason that hotel was
necessity. and it could not accommodate its
guests without fuel with which to warm the
building and do the cooking. Mr.. Walls, who
acted as prosecutor for the League was quite
wroth over the decision, and intimated that he
had Como before squire with his last case.
The League yesterday concluded to adopt an
ether course of action by running a cheap Sun
day excursion from this city to Cincinnati. The
executive committee called upon the passenger
agent of the c., H. & l., and made the arrange
ments for the excursion. The fare for the round.
trip was put down to nearly nothing-40 cents
for the round-trip, and the members of the
League were in high glee over the belief that they
would depopulate the city of indianapolis on
Sunday. Their scheme however, came to an
abrupt end. Vice-presdent Waite, of the c., H.
Il l.. heard Of the arrangement, and he at once
directed the passenger agent to annul the agree
ment, as he would not allow his road to become
party to the schemes of the law breaking class
Of the city. The League committee was notified
OF Mr. Wates decision, and it is given out that
they will attempt to induce one of the other
roads to run the excursion.

THE INSANE OF INDIANA.
Official Report of How the State Institution
Has Been Managed.

The annual reports of the Board of Trustees
and the superintendent of the Hospital for the
IEsane was fled with the Governor yesterday.
Tie fhancia statement shows that the value Of
the real estate is ST. $40 $50; personal property,
1921, 900 05; total, $2,061, 21095. The appropri
alton for maintenance was $3.50, 900, of which
$13, 243 10 remains unexpended. OF the Sic, 900
appropriated for repairs there remains but l3
cents unexpended, and of the clothing appropri-
alton $14481 remains. The other appropri
ations-$14 1856 "a for boiler-house $4,000 for
water supply, $500 for pipe covering. 500 for
chapel repairs, and $85 for laundry-were all
expended The revenue from sales and dona-
lions during the year amounted to $408. &c.
The daily average number of patients was ,542,
and the per capita expense per annum for main
tenance was $3.50 %, against $l73 43 for 1885. An
abundant water supply has been obtained with
the 80 900 appropriated by means of driven wells.
The number of deaths during the year was 103
DIR. Fletcher thinks the report in this particular
will compare favorably with the institutions Of
the world. There has been decrease in the use
OF medicines, and no increase in the number of
attendants No restrictions have been used ex-
cept as surgical cases might demand Under the
topic, Complaints Superintendent Fletcher
says that some Of these are founded in fact and
more on fiction. That mistakes do occur he ad-
mits, but among SO many patients he thinks
their occurrence not surprising The hospital con-
tains 800 more patients than its actual capacity,
and the pletiop of the new asyums is there
fore urged. Speaking of the epileptics and 9TH
sef unfortunates in the poor-houses, DR. Fletcher
closes his report by saying: mo class of mor.als
outside of hades could possibly suffer so much,
and be so neglected"

BLUE GRASS.

According 10 n recent discussion a
grass in order TO be most valuable for
pasture must possess the following
characteristics: BE well suited to tie
locality, both as to soil and climate;
nutritious; palatible; capable Of grow
ing continuously, 50 as 20 constantly
renew it, foliage when crOppcdi endure
the tramping Of animals; be easily
prOpagatcd.
The nutritiousness Of blue grass for
pasture j. universally acknowledged
and need not bee argued. In like man
ncr its palatability j. acknowledged.
Who ever saw hungry animal refuse
good blue grass? No other grass is
able 10 reproduce IT, leaves so quickly
when they have been cropped. At the
angie formed by the blade Of the leaf
gith its sheath Is the region Of growth,
snd here growth goes on continuously.
Leaves have been known 10 attain
length Of from three 10 four feet Wien
a leaf Is bitten OF above this region Of
growth a new blade Is soon formed. In
this way a leaf may yield a great deal
II food throughout the season. This
continuous growth Is one Of the most
important character, aud upon II de-

Of our ordinary grasses will endure the
tramping Of animals as well rs blue
grass. II is very tenacious Of life and

plants. The character gives II high
value wherever the ground Is closely
