HONORS TO MORTON.

! A Grand Reception Given yice-Rresident.
Elect MnrtOn by the People of Indian
apolis.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 15-The public
reception last night rendered at Tomlin-
sons Hall to Vice. President-elect and
Mrs. Morton by the citizens of Indianapolis
was the most brilliant affair of the kind
ever witnessed in this city. Among those
invited to join Mr. and Mrs. Morton in the
reception were: General and Mrs. Harri-
son, Mr.. and Mrs. j. r. Mckee,
Mrs. Bergand, Governor and Mrs.
Gray, Major and Mrs. Denny, Mrs.
Thomas A. Hendrick, Mr.. and Mrs.
John G. New. ex-senator and Mrs. Joseph
E. Mcdonald, Judge and Mrs. E. B. Mar
tindale, Judge and Mrs. W. A. Woods,
the Supreme Court Judges and their wives
and all the State officers and their wives.
Nearly all the above were present, except
ing Mrs. Morton, Mrs Hendricks, who is
absent in Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. New ano
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcdonald.
Long before the appointed hour, the
crowd began to collect about the hall and
as soon as the doors were opened the gall
leries were filled with prominent society
people. On the floor of the hall around
the sides had been placed seats which were
quickly filed. Perhaps $500 people were
seated in the galleries watching the
brilliant spectacle before them. The center
of the hall was unoccupied. The crowd
was admitted at the front entrance on
Market street and passed slowly down
the hall in line, two abreast, and
shook hands with Mr.. Morton and General
Harrison. Many of them also shook hands
with Mrs. Harrison, but after a half hour,
the ladies being tired, stepped back and
occupied seats the remainder of the even
ing, Mrs. Harrison occasionally coming
forward, sometimes to the Generals side
and again by the side of Mr.. Morton. The
column moved along in front of the long
line of guests, many shaking hands with
Governor Gray, Mayor Denny and the
successful candidates for the State offices.
Gradually, however, the line of receive
ers dwindled away, the ladies took seats
and the gentlemen shortly followed and
engaged in conversation, leaving only the
distinguished New Yorker and the Presi-
dent-elect standing about a rod apart
The stream was an endless one and ex-
tended far down through the hall into tks
street and nearly two blocks distant.
Every one had to get at the end of this
line before they could enter. The police
kept people from breaking into the line
and every thing passed off in the most or
derby manner. 1t is estimated that 10000
people passed through the hall, not all Of
whom, however, had a chance to shake
hands with the President and Vice-Presi-
dent-elect.
Shortly after ten O'Clock the Presidential
party took their carriages for home.

We have over 100000 miles of railway

shall build IL, 600 miles more. Ties are re.
quisite. and the life of tie is seven years,
and to replace these ties 160,000, 900 new
ones are requisite. The demand for ties
strikes at the very source of the supply
General Brisbin estimates the value OF
wooden fences IN the United States at
timber cost of $1,000, coo 600, and that it
takes half as much money every year to
keep them in repair. A train of cars 1900
miles long supplies Chicago with lumber
for year. Last year 800 square miles of
timber were cut to meet the de-
mands of the Chicago market alone.
Is 1t not evident that there must
come, sooner or later, an end to
the forests! 1t means timber famine
II the denudation be carried to its utmost
limit, what then! Climatic changes and
water supply diminished, streams will no
longer be navigable, and the source of
water for portable purposes in large cities
might become scaut. General Brisbin be-
Ieves the rainfall is identical with forest
distribution. Garden and Forest tells
US that although tree planting may not yet
have made climatic changes in Nebraska,
yet the influence of trees has benefited
the land simply by retaining the moisture

were tree growing in larger proportion,

MONTICELLO, Ind, Dec. 13.-Last even
ing District Sellers was asked
what were his motives in resigning just at
this time. All he would say was that it
was purely business affair in pursuance
of a determination arrived at i'm
mediately after the election. He
said he hoped Judge Sullivan
would be appointed to succeed him,
and that he did not know whether Mr..
Bailey was after the place or not. II is
understood that Mr.. Sellers has just taken
a new partner into his law firm, which
makes it difficult for some to believe that
business considerations could be so
pressing as to forbid a little delay in his
resignation.

mitted County Supervisors Meedin, Town
send and Field to Jail for alleged contempt
TO court. Ringwald submitted a quarterly

compensation for but two days. Tho
Board allowed the Justice but $3.50 and
the attorney three days at IS. Ringwald
claimed that the Board was in contempt
because it paid the District Attorney for
more days than the report allowed, and
thereupon he issued warrants for their
arrest, and, without the formality OF a
trial, sentenced them TO pay 800 or serve
100 days. Accepting the latter al.erna-
