SEVENTH BATTERY ASSOCIATION.
Beginning of a Two Days Reunion at
the Sherman Hotel.

Twenty-Five members Of the Seventh In
diana battery association, with their wives
and daughters holding a two days re-
union at the Sherman hotel. The session
opened yesterday morning in the hotel par
lors with T. A. Moore, of Columbus, Ind,
in the chair. Edgar r. Murphy, of Bedford,
is secretary. The Seventh battery was re-
cruited at Terre Haute, Columbus and
Salem, leaving for the South Dec. 2, 1861.
The battery was in the hottest Of the At
lanta campaign and acquitted itself with
honors.
The chief matter of Importance taken up
yesterday was the of Comrade w. II.
Hackley, of Kokomo, whose captain at the
close of the war refused to give him an
honorable discharge. His comrades say he
was a brave soldier and that nothing can
be said against his record. 1t is said that
Captain S. J. Harris, who discharged Hack
ley, has since admitted that he did the
soldier a great wrong. Hackley is about to
apply for pension, but must first present
a clean record to the department at Wash
ington. His comrades assert that this meet
ing will exhonorate him. The members of
the battery were last night rendered a re-
ception a the Sherman house. Officers will
be elected at 10 o'clock this morning

LAWS AGAINST ROBY
GOVERNOR WILL ASK LEGISLATURES
TO MAKE THEM STRINGENT.
AttOrney-Generars Suit Reyiyes Pro-
Ject to Enact an Anti-Lobby Law
benton County Settles.

Governor Matthews said, last night that
ne had finished that part of his message
which will treat of the Roby matters and
thaI ne had not heard directly from Judge
1iiiett for several weeks. 1t is true, he
SAID, that he has had correspondence with
the Judge as to measures that should be
passed for the purpose of strengthening
the power of the Governor in the enforce
ment of the law, but if the Judge had
formulated any bills, he said he did not
Know 1T. The reports, however, indicate
that the bills accredited to Judge Cilett
are In accord with his views. The Legis-
iature will be asked to remove the handi-
cap from the Governor which arises from
statutes which really curb the power that
the Constitution intended the Governor to
have when it imposed upon him the duty
of enforcing the laws. 1t is not probable
that measures formulated by Judge Gill
lett will be presented to the Legislature,
but the preparation of these will be en-
trusted to the leader developed in the an
Agonism to the Roby abuses. Who that
leader is to be is yet unknown, and as
much depends upon him, there has been
some speculation to who will constitute
the committee having this reform in
dence cannot be shaken. because the win
ter racing interest is expected to be strong
In the third house.
The three bills which will have the es-
pecial care of Governor Matthews relate to
winter racing, to prize fighting and to law
and order. These. are the measures in
which experience has shown the Governor
that his power is weak and that he is
physically unable to secure obedience to
the laws of the State. The Governor will
recommend a bill to make the racing of
horses unlawful from Nov. to April l. Of
each winter. There will be other provisions
intended to carry out this central provi-
sion. The prize-fghting bill to be recon-
mended describes prize fight as fight or
contest with or without gloves, in the
presence of thirty people, when a fee has
been charged for witnessing the fight or
contest. Punishment by Imprisonment in
the penitentiary for one or two years will
be recommended and the same punishment
may be inflicted upon the seconds, assist
ants or accessories. The anti-riot recon-
mendation will ask that the Governor be
given the right to appoint special police
oihcer in the event that local authorities
refuse to do their duty and that this off,
GER be invested with the power of regular
police officials and with the posse conf
tatus.

whose appearance in court yesterday gave
occasion for pathetic scene. She was also
arraigned and when she looked around and
saw her father she gave way to violent
grief. She was informed that she could
either return home go to the workhouse.
She burst forth in tears and throwing her
ans about her fathe's neck exclaimed:
"Oh, papa, / don't want to go home with
you, for your wife and can never be happy
together. We quarrel and fuss all day and
she is not like my mama used to be. She
blames me for the mistakes of the other
children and / would go anywhere but
there
The father began to weep and it was some
time before the business of the morning
could be continued. 1t was finally agreed
that the girl should be sent to the Convent
OF the Good Shepherd, to which arrangement
she willingly consented. Goss, the man who
assaulted her. she said had promised to
marry her. but afterward refused to do so.
After she entered the Carter house, he
went to see her and got angry because she
paid some attention to other men.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION OF MUTEs.
superintendent II. o. Johnson Will
Ask for Such Law.

Superintendent r. O. Johnson, of the In
stitute for the Deaf and Dumb viii ask
the coming Legislature to make compul-
sorry the education of the mute children
of the State He will not ask for an in
creased appropriation. The institution is
now receiving $4,000 year for maintenance
and $1,000 for the current repair fund. The
report of the superintendent will Snow that
of the 1858 cases examined last year 653
were found to have been born deaf. Other
cases were caused as follows: Spinal trcu-
bic, 1856; scarlet fever, 100; brain fever, 126;
Inflammation of the brain and ear, rs;
measles, so. The last year has seen kim
dergarten established at the institute where
children under eight years are taught. Su-
perintendent Johnson estimates that there
are $50 mute children in the State who are
not receiving education. Lately there
has been introduced in the institution a
German method, a result of which num-
Der of children have been taught to speak.

ditors and recorders unconstitutional, yes
terday settled with the Auditor OF State.
The usual protest even in this case was
made against settling under the dishonored
law, but the Auditor has not yet received
a certification of the fact of the courts
decision and therefore has nothing 70 guide
him but the new law. The counties that
are still out are Marion, Allen, NiSo, Nor
gan, Noble, Jasper and ST. Joseph. If Mr..
Henderson insists he says he will, upon
the Is per cent. penalty, he will go out of
office Jan. 20 with more money collected
from his office than is accredited TO the
late Attorney-general. The fees would prob
ably amount to $4,000.

THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SUIT.
Causing Comment Which May Result
In an Anti-L0hhY Laxx.

comment Nnlcn Way
In an Anti-LObby Law.
There was much discussion yesterday, in
the hotel Hobbies and in the clubs, about the
litigation begun by Attorney General Ketch-
am to purge the record Of the fee and salary
bill and correct the error perpetrated in the
Shelby county schedule, which caused the
law to be overthrow by the Supreme Court.
Whether the law is purged and reinstated
upon the statute books not, it is the
announced intention and policy of the Re-
publican majority to pass a new law grading
salaries according toApopulation. 1t is be-
iieved that in this way the bill can be made
fairest for both the officers and the tax
payers. The hope is to do something that
VIII cut down the tax bills. The present
act was manifestly and Intentionally unfair
to Republican counties where the salaries
Of h how n efae bod have pr In
revenue to draw upon possible The pro-
vision has already caused one or two officers
to resign because the expenses of the Office
did not allow the incumbent enough to
live on
Attorney General Ketcham has the names
of all persons through whose hands the en-
rolled bill. which was changed, passed, and
he will question each one as to who caused
the change. The bill is in the handwriting
of number of persons who in the last
hours had to work hurriedy. The hasty
nature of the work is shown In the numer-
Gus eraSures that were necessary, appar-
emily. to make the copy read like that
which was passed. The facts as to how this
bill was handled, as given in the attorney
generals complaint is bringing up anew the
talk of an anti-lobby law The talk in the
hotels is to the effect that the new fee
and salary law must be one In the interest
of the people and not to line the pockets of
the county officers trust.
Protection for the states Money.
Custodian Griffin, of the Statehouse, has
stationed an additional guard in the office
of the Treasurer of State because of the
publication of the fact that the vaults
are filled to their capacity. Ellis Boyce,
one of the ushers, sleeps in the office with
two revol vers and a repeating rifle at his
side The only way that safe-breakers
could gain admission is through the heavy
oak door leading from the corridor The
windows are well protected. The main
reliance, however, is IN the tripe-chilled
steel doors, locked by combinations, which
will not yield to any one until a certain
hour is reached by the clock inside.

LONDON, Aug 17-The Times prints

of the attack by 900 Bulgarians on the
Mohammedan village of Dospat across
the Turkish frontier before dawn on Sat

1t is believed that the attack was ar
ranged by the Macedonian committee in
order to provoke fresh atrocities, and thus

The Bulgarian government has eE

MEMPHIS, Aug. 17,-Just before day
light a double log house near Arlington,
this county, occupied by Mrs. Callie Har-
rell her two grown daughters and son,
was burned to the ground, and Mrs. Har-
rell and the girls pertshed in the flames.
The son, who occupied a room in the rear
of the building, barely escaped with his
life. 1t is thought the women were
drugged before the fire was set, as log
houses burn very slowly, and they should
have wakened up in time to escape. Their
bodies were burned to a crisp.
