rBEPABING FOR NEXT YEAR
Taking an Account of Stock and Balanc-
iccrBooksof a Twelve Months' Trade.
Merchants Satisfied vith What They Have
Done and Pleased with the Lessening of the
lilt List-Doard of Trade Note
Tho wholesale tnen aro arranging to take
account of stock, a time that is dreaded by
the salesman and clerk. Of late years,
however, many of the merchants have bo
gun the work earlier eo aanot to intrude too
much on the holidays. In fact Hhas be
come the custom with the dry goods and
boot and shoe firms to invoice the last
-week in November and first week in De
cember. Matters are thus well cleared up
before the new year comes in, but the
Volume of business of the last year and the
net results cannot be accurately know 6 be
fore the middle of January. It takes
about three weeks at best to take the ac
count of stock of a dry goods establishment
of the size of those of Erwin & Co. or
Murphy. liibben &, Co. Among the whole
sale men the opinion prevails that fewer
bad debts than usual will result
from the current year's business.
They base this belief on the fact that,
as a rnle, retail merchants have kept their
bills better in hand, and the fact that trade
much of the time was rather quiet has
mr.de the retailer cautious in contracting
bills.
In scrutinizing the ability of the rain ho
trusts t pay his bills, most of the retail men
oowmako it a rule that a customer must
f ay whenever he gets the pay for his labor.
t this is weekly ho must pav weeklv; or
monthly, he must pay monthly, and not
leave nart of his bill back for another pay
day. In other words, the retail merchant
has kept his business closer in hand than
In former years, and this has been bene
ficial to the wholesale merchants. The
year Ibtf) closes with business on a more
Wealthy basit than ordinarily. It has been
a good year for the dry goods and boot and
shoe men, leather-dealers, druggists and
confectioners. It ii admitted on all sides
that all hfcre made handsome margins on
mo4t of the goods sold, and with bills well
paid, the year ran but have been a prosper
ous one to them.
The hardware men, the iron-dealers and
dealers in tinners' supplies have
been especially favored, as the ten
dency in the three departments of
business has been steadily t higher prices.
There was not in the hardware line the
cnttingof prices which has prevailed in past
yean but the wholesale grocers have not
uiado so much money. Price's have ruled
lteudy and high on most staple articles, but
the number of grocers has increased from
ten to thirteen. Onaccountof all struggling
to get their full share of the business, goods
have been sold very close. It is said the
Indianapolis wholesale grocers have been
selling goods at lower prices, week in and
week out, than havo Cincinnati houses,
which are their chief competitors in this
Htato and Illinois. Indianapolis merchants
have, during the year, invaded much new
territory which is yielding a good trade,
and the railroad men, they Ray, are treating
them very well in the etlorta to extend
business to the West, Southwest and North
weit. A Car-Service Association Organized.
The general managers and general super-,
tatendents of the roads centering here, and
those of some of the immediate connec
tions, held a meeting at the Bates House,
yesterday, to organizo a car-service. The
Xesociation is to be liko those recently or
ganized at Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo
lnd Chicago. After a thorough canvass of
ihe matter the association was formed, all
roads becoming members. The end to
be secured is to see that ears are
not delayed in loading or unloading after
they are placed on a sido-track beyond
forty-eight hours. After that time the
shipper or consignee must pav $1 a day for
the car detained. This method of doing
business has been used at several other
railroad centers for sonio weeks and it has
f really expedited the movements of cars,
ndianapolis has over two hundred private
switches leading to lumber, brick, stone
and coal-yards, and to factories in the city
and its immediate suburbs. An earnest
eilort is to be made to make the new de
parture a success with as littlo friction as
possible.
Carpets for the World.
I. B. Scott, of Philadelphia, is stopping at
the Grand Hotel.. He is of the firm of
Clifford, fc?cott& Lawton, the publishers
of Tho Upholsterer," and is on his roturn
home from a three months' tour through
the West in the interest of his journal. In
an interview with him he told a reporter
that his city is the manufacturing centre
of upholstery goods and carpets of the
world, "We have one district in Philadel
phia' ho said, "in which more yards
of carpet are manufactured than all of
Great Britain produces. Two-thirds the
entire carpet production of the world comes
from Philadelphia. The upholstery indus
try also centers there. While it is only in
its infancy, tho growth has been suprising.
According to figures furnished by the cen
sus of 10, the annual output was, at
that time. 3.000.000. To-day it
is estimated $: 1,000,000. This incrcaso
in less than ten years is surprising. We
manufacture curtains and furniture-coverings
which aro sold as imported goods
nnder foreign brands, by New York com
mission merchants."
Board of Trade Notes.
The Commercial Travelers Association
has formally accepted the invitation of the
Board of Trade to hold its annual meeting
in the exchange hall on Jan. 4.
The fluctuations of the grain market at
Chicago did not disturb the wonted serenity
of the local grain-dealers. They do bnsi
on a fixed basis and speculation 'is not in
dulged in.
The crovernors of the Board of Trade will
hold their monthly meeting to-morrow
evening. Subjects of an important char
acter are to be discussed. Ihe reports of
Ithe committee appointed to confer with
Vthn r:ilroiil rnprt with. Tferore in n an ia-
factory adjustment of the difliculty pend
ing between them and the local shippers
and receivers will be submitted.
Tho new reading-room of the Board of
Trade will, if completed as contemplated,
form an attractive feature in tho improve
ments of the building. The room is to be
elegantly furnished, and complete tiles of
all local papers, as well as those of lending
cities, will he found on the table. There
will be kept there the files of leading busi
ness periodicals and papers.
EELIGIOUS LEGISLATION.
Evih That Follow from a Eeliioa That De
rends Upon IU Enforcement by Law,
At tho Seventh-day Adventist Church
I!ev. J. O. Corliss, of Michigan, lectured
last night and tho night before, on tho
evils and dangers of religions legislation.
5u his first lecture Mr. Corliss showed that
the colonics which made the thirteen orig
inal .States had a union of church and
state, but being settled by different sects,
and holding different tenets, they had the
fcnt amendment pat in tho Constitution of
the United States, which says that Con
gress thall make no law respecting tho
establishment of religion. This was done
to prevent Congresa from enacting a law
which would compel all the people to
practice the same religion. The lecturer
aid that some State laws do prevent the
free exercise of religion, for some of them
aisrrlminate. and to the extent even of
Win that a wan must believe - in God.

THE LATE CATHOLIC CONGRESS..
Bishop Chatard Talks cf its Work find the
Fealty Expressed for the Pope.
Bishop Chatard, who has just returned
from a visit to the East, during which he
attended the Catholic congress at Balti
more, expressed himself to a Journal re
porter yesterday as ranch impressed with
the event. "I have Recn many great occa
sions,'7 said the Bishop, "but uover any
thing which in its significance exceeded
what was shown at Baltimore. As a mani
festation of the sentiments of the Catholio
people and of the great fntnre which they
clearly see it was remarkable. Tho Cath
olic congress was a great and intelli
gent body of men from all parts of
the country, some of whom had made sacri
fices for religion's sake in the communi
ties in winch they lived. Mr. Daniel
Daughcrty is himself an illustration. He
expected censure for standing up as ho did.
and he got it. , He had becu 6oraewhat of
an athlete, and ho was a grand-looking
man a he faced that immense audience. I
never heard such a burst of applause or
saw such a demonstration as followed his
speech.
"The manifestation of tho sentiments of
the people with regard to the question of
sehools was unanimous and unmistaka
ble. In the feeling evoked it was
much stronger than in the resolutions,
which but faintly echoed tho senti
ments there. There was an earnest
and deep feeling there in evcrthing that
concerned the church. The question of the
independence and temporal sovereignty of
the l.'omnn Pontiff broughtjforth a strong
manifestation of approval. I was not pres
ent when Bonaparte's paper was read,
but those who were told mo thatv
when the words came forth that
whatever may happen, a subject
the Pope can never be.' the applause was
indescribable. Now the resolutions, whon
framed, were put iu such a way so many
people havo susceptibility that the edges
were to a great extent tiled off. There was
no hostility to any body of men, but there
was a determination expressed that every
thing should be done to further the inter
ests of the chinch. The interest manifested
i n t he Soverei gn Pon t i ff was boau t if u 1 to see.
Many resolutions wcie sent, into the con
gress. I was told there were about 500 of
them, and it took the greatest forbearance
and care on tho part of the committee to
select those that wero passed. If all had
been published they would have made vol
umes and a platform so extensive that ono
would not be able to walk over it in
twenty-four hours. But the committee
very wisely narrowed everything down to
a few points."

Engineer Shaub Not Dead.
All the enterprising dailies, on Friday,
had a local item to tho effect that "En
gineer Shaub, of the Big Four, fell dead in
his cab, at the yard, between C aDd 7
o'clock Thursday morning." Mr. Shaub is
a man of, many frends, and a well-known
member of the Knights of Pythias. His
brethren of the order proceeded to get out
postal-cards, calling a meeting to take ac
tion in regard to his demise, and a commit
tee went to his residence to arrange for the
funeral. The committee was somewhat
surprised when that gentleman, apparently
in tho best of health, opened tbe door in ans
wer to their knocking. He. however, made
all proper explanations, and laid the blame
where it belonged upon the newspapers
and civiug him a brotherly grip and tho
entire series of pass-words the committee de
parted. Mr. Shaub immediately thereafter
paid a visit to the arious newspaper otU
ces where he had no diilicnltj. whatever
in convincing the city editors and all the
reporting staff that ho was thoroughly
alive, 'ihe report of Mr. Shaub's demise
came from police headquarters and was
received as authentic, but as it is now of
ficially denied, it is no more than fair that
the previous statement should be retracted.
The Old Legislators.
Hon. Win. H. English, ia conversation
with a Journal reporter, said he feared that
the remarks in his speech to the ex-legislators
of UVd, about Posey county, might
bo misunderstood, and ho was desirous of
having it said that in his estimation no
county stood higher in Indiana'tban the
great county in the Pocket. He also said
that the line in the report intimating that
Othniel Beeson. a member of the Legisla
ture of lsoi, from Wayne county, was dead
was incorrect. Somo one else had sug-
fested that Mr. Becspn was dead; he (Mr.
English) had no definite knowledge on the
subject. Mr. Gretnley H. McLaughlin, of
this city, says that the name of Robert L.
Hannaman was omitted from the list of
survivors of old legislators, and that Mr.
Hannaman, who was n member of the Gen
eral AAMembly of 1&J5-0. is still living iu
Knoxville, 111., where he has resided for
more than fifty years. Mr. Hannaman is
eighty -seven years old.

F0UKD IN PRISON REPORTS
The Question of Temperance and Mar
riage as Safeguards Against Crime.
Queer Tarns Statistics in Trisor. Record Take
as to What Brought Jlen p.nd Women to
Their Offending Against Law.
A few days ago, in a party of gentlemen,
the proposition was advanced that tho ma
jority of the convicts in the Stato prisons
were not only victims of intemperance, but
men who had never gathered about them
selves the restraining intluencesof home.
It was said that the number of those who
wero single corresponded so closely with
the number who were victims of intemper
ate habits that tho proof was conclusivo
that homo is the great temperance society
of tho country and marriage the safeguard
against crime. In pursuing the subject
further one of tho party took tbe docu
mentary journals of the State for the eight
years from 1S79 'o liSO, inclusive, and
studied the reports of the northern and
southern prisons and the Female
Keformatory. The eight years for which
the reports are made show a remarkable
similarity iu the increase and decrease of
convictions and tho fact is demonstrated
that the division of the State geographi
cally in prison districts i$ likewise an al
most equal division as to crime. If in any
of these years one prison shows a falling otf
in tho number of prisoners the other shows
a corresponding decrease, and an increase
in ono is certain to be followed by a similar
increase in tho other. Tho average number
of convicts iu tho northers prison for the
eight years is 633 and in tho southern pris
on ;V8, the difference being 6eveut3'-fonr,
and this is marked throughout the entire
eight years. With regard to condition, the
earlier reports divided the convicts into
three classes, married, single and widowers,
but tho latter was dropped in I860, and all
are now reported as either married or.
single, by tho northern prison, though
the classification is still kept up
by tho directors of tho southern
institution. As to habits, the
reports were mado to show three classes
also temperate, intemperate and moder
ate (drinkers), and this is still maintained
by the last named prison, though dropped
by the northern prison, like tho other in
lbbO. Under such distinction tho temperate
is mado to preponderate largely over the
intemperate, but when the moderate drink
ers are added to the intemperate, as thev
should be, the temperate becomes a small
and quite respectable minoiity. It is not
improbable that the word "moderate" was
introduced into tho formula for reasons
similar to those for pnttintr a sugar-coating
over verj' nauseous pills, he information
is obtained, in a great part, from the con
victs themselves, and when asked the
question they would prefer to be known as
mokerate drinkers- The northern prison,
however, has dropped the classification,
and the intemperate appear under their
right names.
In 157i tho records of the northern prison
showed 1S5 temperate and 4CXI intemperate
convicts, but in lfcSC the former had tie
creased to W and tho latter increased to .V50.
For the first period the number of temper
ate and intemperate prisoners in the south
ern institution were i.04 and S3S, respective
ly, while for tho latter the hrst was 17b and
the second iXS, showing a relative decrease
and increase, though not so marked as in
tho northern prison. If tho foregoing may
be regarded as demonstrative of the in
fluence of temperate habits for good, fully
as much is shown by a comparison of the
liures relatinff to the relations of convicts;
that is. whether married or -single. This
data becomes a part of the records of each
prison, and, possibly, may be depended
upon as mom exact than that regarding
habits. In tho reports of tho southern
prison it is seen the least proportion
of the married to single convicts is
maintained throughout, bnt in tho
northern prison the number of married con
victs increased disproportionately to the
number of single. The average, even with
this discrepancy, remains small in compari
son with the number of single convicts.
Though marriage is not a perfect safeguard
apainst intemperance, there is a relation
between the married and the temperate
convicts, on tho one hand, and tho single
and tbe intemperate convicts on tho other.
It is not possible, not even .probable, that
every married man contiued within the
walla of Indiana prisons was of temperate
habits, or that every single man 60 contined
was intemperate; but tho relations of tho
one to the other are ro marked that they
are worthy of careful study. Limiting the
comparison in this regard to the first four
years for which the reports were made, the
following figures aro given:
Xorlhem Prison. Southern Pritotx.
Zlurricd, Temperate. Zlarricd. TcmjKrate.
1879.. ..175 lr, 131 201
1880... .187 20O v 1S2 lb'l
1SH1....150 187 1M 146
1832.. ..173 18 193 175
Hero is an interesting combination of
figures, and, if left to judge alone from
these comparisons, the conclusion would
bo irresistible that marriage and temperate
habits are nearly sj'nonymous terms. It
would naturally follow that the state of
beinc single is peculiarly liable to the cul
tivation of intemperate habits, aud the
figures from the prisons aro as pronounced
iu the one case as the other. Confining the
inquiry, as above, to four consecutive years,
tho totals are:
Xorthem Prison. Southern Prison.
Single. Intemperate. Sinylc. Intemperate
1879 410 400 3(11 3:
1S80 300 377 .T7! W7
18S1 4T2 :Jr :i.T7 271
188J 412 4312 305 415
Comparing the last two tables a pecnliar
relation of figures results. Iu the uorthern
prijon in 1S7U the temperato convicts ex
ceeded the married convicts by ten and tbe
single convicts exceeded the intemperate
bv exactly tho same number. A j'ear later
the temperate exceeded the married hy
seventeen, and the same proportion existed
between the single and toe intemperate. A
similar comparison of the tables, prison by
prison, develops tho samo result.
The reports of tho board of managers of
the Female Keformatory for tho same
periods show an averacro in both depart
ments of forty-eight. The classi Mentions as
to habits and relations are the same
as in the prisons. The statements
as to habits are made from
information received from the con
victs themselves and, nnliko tho two
prisons for males, the temperate element
shows a decided preponderance over tho in
temperate.. Of the forty-four convicts in
1871?, thirty-four are classed as temperate
and ten as intemperate. At one time fortv
threo wero reported as belonging to tbe
first class and but live to the second, but in
the number of the first had decreased
to thirty-one and of the second had in
creased to twenty-one. In the first year for
which the report was examined (1S79) tho
number married was given as nine, and the
number einule, including widows, thirty
two. For tho seven years following the re
ports show a constant increase of married
convicts, the figures for tho last year being
twenty married and thirty-two single.
