Name Not Disclosed.

Although it does not appear to whom
the COPY was given, yet Mr. Lamoreaux
did not disclose the name of the per-
son. although requested to do so, and
reported merely that he gave 1t to "a
party." il is to be presumed that such
marty was not without interest in the
controversy. Before this department
was advised that any decision had been
signed. counsel for the scrip holders re-
ouested that such an opinion be pro-
mulgated. knowledge of the opinion
IS therefore traceable to them.
The improperly of giving out copy
of an unrendered, unpromulgated de-
cison to one of the parties In contro-
versy in advance of its formal announce
ment is too obvious to require comment
Mr.. Lamoreaux states that he gave a
COPY to a party three days in advance OF
the time appointed by himself for It's
promulgation in the usual ana proper
way. Neither faith nor credit can at
tach to an opinion under such circum'
| stances. :.
Since il was never properly hled Il
was deemed best to disregard 1t ana oil
rect a new trial; this was done. Th'
law which justifies the action OF the de
partment may be found in the statutes
of the United States and the decision
| of the supreme court.

The action is based on the purported
opinion of Mr.. Lamoreaux given out by
him to one of the parties interested
three days before the time appointed by
himself for the formal announcement
of the decision and the notice to the
other interested parties The land on
which 1t was proposed to locate claims

THEIR RELATIVES FUNERAL.
In Getting Carriage for 1t Two
Brothers Quarrel.

George and William Barkdall, brothers,
were arrested in North Indianapolis and
brought to the Jail last night on the charge
of assault and battery. George Barkdall
the younger of the two, was apparently in
great physical pain when brought in, and
it was almost necessary to carry him from
the patrol wagon to the jail. He claimed
he was suffering from cramps, but the po-
lice who arrested the men were informed
that they had had a desperate fight and
that the younger man had been struck with
a. fence picket in the hands of his brother
William Barkdall denied having struck his
brother
1t seems that yesterday afternoon about 3
o'clock the BaTkdau brothers, with one or
two Others congregated at the nome Of
William BarkdalFs father-in-laW and sent
out for a pony key of beer. While they
were drinking the liquor and tossing bail
on the commons, the news was brought to
dead at HaughVille. William Barkdall went
TO engage a carriage for the funeral and on
his return his brother offered to pay part
of the expense. Money passed between the
two and an argument arose over the
change. Finally William Barkdall seized a
fence picket and started toward his brother
The latter's wife stepped between them, but
not in time to prevent her husband receiV-
ing a light blow. William Barkdall then
dropped the picket and retreated E.to sta

GAMES, ANCIENT AND MODERN.
Rev. Mr.. ROberts's Series of Lectures
Mt FIetcher-PIace Church.


Under the topic, "Those good old times
that are past and gone.'' Rev. Mr.. Roberts,
of the Fletcher-place Church, has been de-
lfvering a series of lectures to his even
ing congregation. His theme last night was
the sports and amusements of the olden
times as compared with the present. The
series thus far has embraced such sub
jects as the following: Poverty and
Crime in Gone-by Days." Wages and
Rulers" Last night the theme was
Sports and Amusements." The object Of
the talks is to show that while the world
has not the ideal civilization, yet wonder
full advancements have been made and are
being made in every direction in spite of
all the croakings of the unsuccessful in
life.
Last night he showed that while there is
much in the sports and amusements of the
day to be deprecated much that is demon
alizing and wicked, yet when compared to
those Of the olden times they are, COM
paratively speaking, harmless. He showed
the ancients had many of the sports and
amusements people have nowadays, and
many that would not now be tolerated. In
referring to dancing, he said it was de-
nounced by the best of heather, Cicero say
ing mo one dances unless he Is either
drunk or mad, and yet they danced, both
for amusement and pay. Running, leaping,
boxing VIZ esting aad lighting were among
the amusements of the ancients. He re-
ferred 10 the bacchanalian revels, cele-
brated first with eating, drinking wine,
noise and dancing. 1t first seemed TO grow
from a kind of woman'S club, but in the
process of time the men were admitted, and
then IL grew worse. The historian says:
"When the evil had reached its greatest
height the Roman government, in 1S6 =. c.,
instituted inquiry into it and rooted it out
with great severity.
''One may say this was worship" said
the minister, but did festivities and fun
characterize the worship of the ancients?
Take the Olympic games, for illustration,
where they worship ZeuS and the queen
of heaven"
He then alluded to the Colosseum at
Rome For what was this monstrous struc-
ture? State and county fairs, an EXPOSE
ton, or for Moody and Sankey meat ing2
At it's dedication i've thousand wild be It's
were slain, the festivities lasting a .u, a

his subjects and getting rid of the Chris

dies and serpents, were employed to give
novelty TO the occasion.
Then the gladiatorlal combats were re-
ferred to. Now. all of this bloody work was
for the amusement, not of the ignorant
fined.
Think of the people of England or Amer

five acres of ground and that would seat
$1,000 people, and then spend a hundred

claimed the minister THE world is grow
ing better. One word, brutality describes
the amusements and sports of the ancients.
Gladiatorial combats closed, the latter part
of the fifth or first Of the sixth century, not
so much by the imperial edct as by the
humanizing effects of christianity. The
fact that the Colosseum stands deserted, in
mute silence. and has so stood for the last
twelve centuries, would seem to indicate
an improvement in the tastes and morals
of the people"

25th verse of the 10Th chapter of Mat
thew: 'Then Judas, which betrayed him,
answered and said. Master is it l? lie

The speaker recounted the baseness of
Judas Iscariot and who, he said, was the
only one of the disciples that did not love
Christ. The Saviour and the apostles
constituted. he said, II mystic chain that
bound the earth to Heaven. The treach-
cry of Judas broke one of these links, but
it was made stronger than ever, until now
it ciIcled the whole world. He praised
the principles of the knights of the Hiys-
tic Chain, the tenets of which order came
nearer to religion than any other organi-
cation outside of the church. It had for
its object the rule given by the Saviour,
Love your neighGor rs yourself to as
sist the distressed and carry comfort TO
the suffering. The world, he said, passed!
by the man who is destitute, but true
chvalry defended the weak against the
wicked. In conclusion after giving some
excellent advice in eloquent language,
