some badiEage in executive session, yesterday.
a Democratic senator facetiously expressed a
wish that the executive sessions might be held

one or two Republicans and one of the latter
formulated it in resolution, which was offered

the subject was reached in executive session to-

The Street Will Contest at RushviIle.

Special to the indianapolis journal.
RUsHvILLE, Jan. 2L-The most important
civil suit that has been tried here for years is
now in progress. George Street, farmer worth
5000, died, leaving no children. His wife died
soon after. By the terms Of his will about half
of the estate was to be held by Butler University
as trustee, and the proceeds to go to the
Christian Missionary Society perpetually, to be
expended in preaching the gospel in this State.
The nephews and nieces of Mrs. Street are con-
testing the will. Mr. Street accumulated his
wealth by shrewd business management. He
made his will at seventy seven, and died at
eighty-fve. Six days were occupied in the ex-
animation of witnesses, and the argument is now
in progress. The ground has been holly con-
tested by both sizes, and the courtroom was
crowded with spectators A popularity of the
trial is that no church member was allowed to
sit on the jury lest he should feel an interest in
seeing the will sustained.

Exciting Election for Postmaster.


Special to the indianapolis journal.
COLUMBUS JAM 21.-An election for postmas-
ter was held here yesterday, in accordance with
instructions from Congressman Matson The
candidates were G. E. Finney, editor of the Her.
aid, and John FL. Rush. Finney was the candi-
date of the local ring, and was generally sup
ported by the saloons and the hummer element.
Rush was supported by the Irish and the Catho-
lie Church generally, with many outside friends.
The contest was bitter and personal Money was
used freely ard whisky flowed like water,
the voting being continued until far in the
night The result was a majority of 1873 for
Finney. The wild rejoicing and insulting be-
havior of Finney's friends only increased the
evaporation already felt, especially by the Irish
who are very sore, and the end is not yet To
render the situation more pleasing, 'Finney
through his paper, has heaped unstinted abuse
upon Matson ever since Cooper was appointed
last spring, but, according to his pledge when he
ordered the election, he must now recommend
Finney for appointment The thought that he
will silence another enemy. however, will make
the swallowing of this bitter pill less difficult.

CENTRAL COLLEGE GEM.

From the Saline County Progress, Jan. 81
We had good the luck this week of de-
vouring the pages of college monthly
published at Central Female College
at Lexington. 1t is very interesting
and spicy little sheet aud shows fluency
of the pen and genuine literature taste
unusual in such periodicals. Miss Lucy
Mckinley who visited Miss Laura
Yerby here this Christmas is the editor
in chief, and May Belle Phillips, of
Saline, is local editor, while Miss
Laura Yerby is one Of the business
managers. The paper is called the
College Gem, very appropriate name,
for it is bright sparkling and natural
specimen of school life, and flashes
with wit, humor and originality
The young ladies who are managing it
deserve place in practical journalism
after they leave school, or at least to
be editors wives, SO as to get free
passes OIL the railroad and free tickets
to the show. This last is bigger
compliment young ladies than it looks

takes a woman of varied culture anf

OOLORED EXPOSITIONs IN THE
SOUTH.

1t will be remembered that novel
feature Of the New Orleans Exposition
was the exhibits which the cnlored
people as race were invited to offer
tor the purpose of showing their pro-
gress in industries, education, art, sc.
The experiment proved only fairly sue
cessful in the display then made, but
it has borne valuable fruit in arousiny
interest in similar undertakings.
AS proof of this the New Orleans
mes-Democrat says:-"Excited by
the Exposition, Mississippi held col
ored fair few months ago, which was
thorough success; Tennessee has Just
opened another, at Nashville; South
Carolina will soon follow SUIT, and it
seems highly probable that every
southern state will, sooner or later,
have its colored exposition"
We agree with our southern contem.
porary that these are encouraging sign:
which betoken substantial benefits tc
the colored people and useful results

The enterprise of the people of Lex

pushing their railroad interests. They
are wide awake on matters in hand,
and if good. hard, energetic work will
win, they will accomplish the results
they desire. st. Joseph is equally in
terested and our people must not sleep
on subject of such deep concern TO
this CITY as the one referred to. Col.
r. B. Law, superintendent of the c.,
b. Il q railroad, arrived in Lexington
night before last and was entertained
by representative citizens. YESTERDAY,
accompanied by several gentlemen he
made a trip over the road bed of the
old Lexington, Lake & Gulf road, run
ming southwesterly from that point
and still almost intact. No date has
yet been designated, because of the ab-

Music, followed by prayer from the

appropriate address, read to the society
by Miss MyrA Matthews, president, de-
failing the work of the society for the
last year, the amount of money raised
being one hundred and eleven dollars
and seventy-fivc cents. When it is ta-
ken into the account that between six
ty and seventy dollars of this amount
was raised in ten cent subscriptions on
quilt to be sent to Japan to Mrs. A,
NJ. Demnon, the industry of the society
will be more largely appreciated. AZ

at the organ, the audience was treated
to q recitation by Miss Florence
Clemmens and Miss Alice Matthews.
The young ladies acquitted themselves
with credit After music, Miss Belle

expressed in language and in sentiment
The essay was followed by a solo from
Miss Myra Matthews. Miss Florence
Clemmens then gave to the audience q
recitation in which she displayed pow
ers of elocution seldom attained by one
so young.
The address Of Dr. Farr, on the
Mission of Woman III the Church was
an elegant composition, glowing will
gems Ofthought and historical allusion
drawn from the bible and from his
tory, ancient and modern, on the par
enacted by woman In the drama of civ
ilizatiOn and the evangelization of thu
world. The reverend gentleman tool
ground against woman preaching, ant
