The Prill people, from Lake township, who have been proceeded against for malicious trespass, want a change of venue from Wayno township. The executive committee of the Veteran Association requests that all bills against them bo presented to them for on or before Thursday evening. Last night, on West Main street, a Pittsburg employe named Labey was badly cut on the cheek by a stone thrown by a vicious youth, who ran off. A number of gay and fashionable youths were about the streets last night well lilled, even unto their necks, and anxiously looking for a fight. Harry Eckles, a capable young man, has taken tho position held by Harvey McCracken as manager of the city lighting department of tho Jcnncy electric works.

Taylor to-night. The fair sex like to hear a political speech in order to keep the run of what the men are about. They know, too, that Judge Taylor has always something interesting to say. A letter written from St. Louis to a friend of Frank Wade states that Mr.

Wade has decided to accept the offer the Wabash people to look after their passenger business in this section, making Indianapolis his headquarters. It was not noticed in the GAZETTE or any other city paper that in the grand review, Saturday, ten members of Anthony Wayne Post, G. A. had charge of the Gatling gun. There were also a number of Mexican Veterans in line.

Dr. Thayer, of the lying-in hospital, says the Tribune, sent one or two waifs from his establishment to a concern in Chicago called a "Home," which was raided by the police. Dr. Thayer supposed and was advised that the place was well conducted by humane ladies. A good joke is told on our friend, Tom Hanna, who was on the Grand Rapids train, near Rome City, the other day.

Mr. Hannk sat near an old man who had lo'st his pocket-book. The aged party gazed suspiciously at Tom, who had to explain. Mr. Hanna was considerably disgusted.

At Montpeljer, yesterday morning two rival hotel proprietors, Spence and Mahoney by name, quarreled about a passenger. The quarrel terminated by Spence knocking Mahoney down and Mahoney shooting Sponco through the arm. Mahoney is under arrest. The man to whom the credit is duo of conceiving the idea of the grand reunion, and carrying out its elaborate details is Scott Swann. He was assisted most materially by A.

Wabash Times: A picture of Ge'orge Strodcl, of Fort Wayne, will do just as well for one of Cleveland as though taken from the lattor's face itself.

A clue has been obtained to tho whereabouts of "English Tom," tho fellow who robbed Dr.

VauWert Bulletin: Two hundred and eighteen tickets were sold here today, from this place to Fort Wayne and return.

Hard times won't keep people from going On excursions. Word was sent here that a couple of Van Werters had their pockets picked at Fort Wayne soon after their arrival in that city this morning. The names of the unfortunates were not given. Robert W. Simmons, a traveling man representing the New York firm of Walker hats and caps, was in the city yesterday.

He got on a big spree and went to a saloon near the south depot where he was lightened of a pocket-book containing a $5 gold piece and some silver. Simmons did not complain to the police as he should have done but bewailed his loss about the streets. Emma Abbott's manager informs a New York Mirror reporter that the "Western Favorite" will make a metropolitan appearance this season. Miss Abbott has been studying under in Paris.

Last season eighteen operas were produced. The repertoire this season includes thirty-two. Springfield (Ills.) Journal: Jtason Long, the "reformed gambler," who seven years ago was a notorious sporting man in Fort Wayne, gave brief talks on gambling, in the open air, on the public square, Saturday and Sunday eveuings. He travels in a handsome wagon and is accompanied by a very good male quartette. Saturday evening he offered his book for sale, as a means of paying his expenses.

He is quite an interesting talker, and has a vivid experience to relate. Waterloo Press congressional convention held at Rome City, Thursday last, nominated Hon. Theron P. Keator, of Fort Wayne, for congress. Mr.

Keator is a man eminently fitted to make the race for congress against Judge Lowry. He has traveled extensively in foreign countries, and has been an eye-witness to the effect of free trade upon the working classes of other countries. While Mr. Keator's election is doubtful, he will give Judge Lowry such a close race as to make tho congressional canvass exceedingly interesting." This month the earth passes through a stream of meteors. It is estimated that eight millions of the bodies strike tho earth daily, The densest part of the stream is reached about the tenth of the month.

The August meteors have long been celebrated. Once in every thirty-years in November a prodigious number of meteors is seen, but those of August come year after year with unfailing punctuality. Many of the meteors emanate from a point in the constellation Perseus, in the region of the North star. Huntington Herald: Pleasant Lake is a beautiful sheet of water, containing in area about six hundred acres of water, the depth of which is about one hundred and eighty feet. Around it there is a beautiful drive, and a park has been fitted up which will accommodate ten thousand people.

The tish caught arc pickerel, and perch, and tho largest pickerel taken in Northern Indiana was lately caught by a party from Fort Wayne. Its weight was twenty-three and one-half pounds, and it is no unusual thing for fishermen to land twelve or thirteen pound- ers. The Wabnsh company will receive in a days several new Mann boudoir cars, built expressly for use on the lines between 8l. Louis and Chicago and St. Louis and Kansas City.

Only a few roads have had tho enterprise to put these cars on as regular attachments to their trains, (he Wabash being tho first in the west and about the fourth road in tho country to secure them. They will bo attached to all through night trains betweon tho points mentioned. Tho features of tho Mann cars arc perfect ventilation, even temperature, absence of dust and smoke, and a privacy equal to that of a hotel. A number of gentlemen met at Rath- hone hall last evening and "Fort Wayno Council" of the National Union. The following persons wore elected officers.

Frank Alderman, jf" A. 3D president; HeiryJi illfT, secretary; Ed. Beaver flnaneiisj secretary; L. B. Johns, treasurer; Geo.

F. Seeley, chaplain; F. Yarnelle, speaker; Howard McCulloiigb, medical examiner; C. B. Fitch, usher; B.

W. Home, serjeant-at-arms; TfaeO. Gotsobe, doorkeeper, andO. B. Fitch, J.

C. Peltier and Stephen Morris were elected trustees. The lodge commenced business with a membership of forty-four, comprising some ef the most enterprising young men of the city. Last night the house of a well-known citizen ot the east end was entered by burglars, who carried opera-glasses and some small' silverware which had not been securely locked up, The loss amounts to about one hundred and fifty dollars. The affair was not reported to the police by the gentleman for some reason, probably on account of an event which happened in a social way not long ago.

The thieves were probably youthful, and are the same that relieved Councilman Mohr of a box of cigars on the sams night. Last night about 11 o'clock, eight fashionable young men, more or less intoxicated after a prolonged debauch, set upon Billy Meyers, the bar-tender of the "Bank," and would have bravely knocked an eye and several teeth out of the defenceless gentleman but for the interference of Patrolman O'Ryan and Deputy Sheriffs Dodge and Maunix. One of the "slims" was pulled out of the Wolke block with a "sassiety" the other night, and accused Meyers of giving it away to the police. Mr. Meyers was innocent, of course, but the drunken youths didn't think so, and wanted to pile on him.

The entire gang ought to have been run in. THE COUNCIL An Unimportant Session Last Night--All the Ccnmcllinen After More Electric Light In Their Respective Wards.

A remonstrance, signed by J. H.

Andrew Sullivan was awarded the contract of supplying the public buildings with coal, aud Modorwell Co. for engines. Report of city attorney was concurred in; also those of clerk and treasurer, Street Commissioner O'Brien reported bridge over Swanee run, on Broadway, in an unsafe condition. The matter was referred to city attorney and committee on bridges.

The report of the water works trus- trees was referred to the committee on water works. Gerhard Burlager proposed to do do scavenger work for one year for There was an unusually large number of electric lights askod for, most every councilman of the outlying wards wanting from one to two dozen placed at various points in the section he represents. Councilman Michael stated that the electric light company were drawing pay for one hundred lights, and he had made a careful count of lights in the city and could find but ninety-three. Ho also stated that many of these were not at all times burning, and questioned the action of the police, whoso duty it is to report all lights found not be burning. The council then took a recess until next Tuesday evening, when some sewer business will be taken up.

The daughter of Rev. J. T. Walker, a clergyman of Norwich, N. was a victim of neuralgic rheumatism.

All that loving caro and attention could suggest was invoked for her relief until Athlophoros, the conquering specific, was tried, with the most beneficial results. The happy father sends $1 for an additional bottle, and says: "Please send at once. I have used it for my daughter with great success." Charley Currier, the lightning hot- Icr. has received from relatives ixt Boston, Mass indisputable proof that the family is desponded from Richard IT. The bar sinister is not mentioned, hut the, fact is proven by a large genealogical chart which Charley carefully unrolls.

To the Editor ol the The long talked of reunion liafe come and gone. Not eone however from the memories of those who witnessed and participated in it. Long will the nice weather, the of people, the speeches, the parades, the, camp-fires, the sham-battle, 'be subject of (jonversation. Longer, stUi be remembered by many one of the most ordetly and Ke- unions ever attended. On every side were heard the expressions: "What a nice orderly crowd! Not a drunken to be seen, not a whisky stand, not a gambling establishment.

free to come and go at; all Ii and everywhere universal respect was paid them. What a contrast to some of the re-unions that have been held in this state. Many expected worse things even, at Fort Wayne; the city has not an enviable reputation abroad for sobriety. Some of the pastors of the city even advised their lady members not to attend, for, said they, "It will be nothing but a drunken carousal." There are many camp-meetings not so free frotit disorder as was our reunion. Many old veterans personally expressed their gratitude to the ladies for the noble work they did.

One remarked that when liquor could be had some of the soldiers would get drunk, and the sober ones had to taker care of the drunken ones so none could get much pleasure out of the occasion. Captain Fiatt paid a high tribute to the ladies of the W. C. T. U.

and others who did so much to make their reunion so pleasant. He most happily put in words the feelings of the soldiers toward them, and his tender of thanks was greeted with great enthusiasm. The ladies do not appropriate to themselves all the glory. The executive committee deserve much credit for so fully carrying out the wishes of the ladies. Guards were' detailed to watch every suspicious place, and all attempts to sell intoxicants of any kind were promptly stopped.

Not even a game of chance was allowed. It was wonderful to see what a senti- ment sprang up against every of rowdyism. Even men who were in the habit of imbibing caught the spirit, and not only refrained from indulging themselves, but helped to ferret out every hole and corner where a suspi- clous bottle was seen. Good seed been sown. Some" of it wili spring and bear fruit.

LADIES W. C. T. U. A lady, who suffered from weakness peculiar to her sex, in writing to a friend, said: "I tried various kidney medicines, but only found myself growing worse.

A friend told me to use Dr. Guyott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla.
