BANKING COMPANY’S AFFAIRS. Mr. Landers Finally Decides to Give Up the Receivership to Mr. Ritter. The matter of the receivership of the Indiana Bauking Company seems to be permanently set tled at last. Mr. Levi Ritter, tlie latest ap pointee, filed his bond for $500,000 yesterday morning, with Thomas H. Sharpe, Ingram Fletcher, A. E. Fletober, Theodore P. Haugbey and Eli Ritter as sureties, and this was accepted by Judge Walker. When the court opeued yes terday morning, the attorneys for the bank raised tne question that a judge bad the right to appoint a receiver during vacation, but could not remove one already appointed, and asked permission to tiie a bill of exceptions, so that the record would show that they were taken at the time the entry was made for the removal of Mr. Landers. Judge Walker refused to allow such a proceeding, and remarked that he thought the request a very strange one, insomuch as at the time Landers was removed, the bank’s attorney specifically stared that they would make no exception to the ruling, and that Mr. Landers did not desire to retain the receiv ership, etc. The Court, therefore, ordered the record to show the facts as they existed, and gave the bank’s representatives ten days in which to file a bill of exceptions, besides order ing Mr. Landers to make a report to the court. The objections raised in court confirmed the current rumor that Landers would not give up the receivership without a struggle, aud this be lief was strengthened by subsequent events. Mr. Ritter went down to tbe bank at 11 o’clock aud made a formal demand for the books and papers. Mr. Landers declined to surrender them, but said that he would consult his attorneys further aud arrive at a decision by 2 o’clock. At that hour the demand was again repeated, and Mr. Landers announced that he was ready to give possession The reasons for this action are best given by one of the attorneys, who said ko a Journal reporter: “We do not believe yet that h Judge can remove a receiver during vacation, hut we advised Landers to give up, because if he continued the contest for the receivership, the depositors and others might think that there was something wrong in the affairs of the bank, and it would produce much talk and bad feeling. I think it probable that we will file a bill of ex ceptions aud take tbe case to general term.” During tbe remainder of the afternoon Mr. Ritter was engaged iu inspecting the papers, notes, etc., and receipting for them. He said that he would not be able to arrive at any definite conclusion regarding the real condition of affairs for several days. Mr. Landers will probably make his report either to-day or to-morrow. Dr Ritter’s appointment seem Bto give general satisfaction to everybody except the bank part ners and their attorneys. The creditors are es pecially well pleased, for it will be remembered that Ritter was one of tb6 gentlemen that the meet mg of depositors recommended the court to appoint, and after it was ascertained that Mr. Wal.aoe was ineligible, all the creditors and their attorneys, so far as is known, agreed upon Mr. Kilter, It will probably not be necessary for him to employ t\fo or three of the leading law firms of the eity to help him do the work. A correspondent scuds the following informa tion to the Journal: “Among the looses by the failure of the In diana Banking Company is t. probable deposit of from ten to fifteen thousand dollars belong ing to the late Mission Hundny-school Associa tion. the prooeeds of the sale of the real estate* that had oeionged to it. Tlie publio who con tributed to that fund have no knowledge of its THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1883. amount or its whereabouts, but it has been pre sumed to be in that bank, though no mention of it has been made in any of the published state ments.” BEATEN BY THE SPRINGFIELiDS. The Indianapolis Ball Club Again Defeated in a Closely Contested Game. The Springfield (111.,) base ball club appeared in this city for the first time yesterday and de feated the home club in a well played game by a score 6to 5. The visitors appeared in excel lent form on the field and their playing showed the results of careful training and discipline. them are several “old-timers,” particu larly John Peters, the short-sterp, formerly with the Cbioago club and Joe. Ellick, but all of them are evidently ball players of high degree. The home club found it extremely difficult to hit Lotz’s pitching, while tbe visitors were more fortunate with Murphy, who pitched with bad judgment at times, especially in tho eighth inning when the game was won. McKeon aud Dorgan let ground balls get by them, thus giving the visitors three of their runs. The game was remarkable in one respeot. Four of tbe Indianapolis club put out the twenty-seven men, Kerins being credited with thirteen and Keenan with nine of the “put outs.” The lat ter played a great game. The oilier features were two fine “pick-ups” by Callahan, People’s excellent work at short-field and Hengle’s double play in the seventh inning.

Porter's Recollections of Judge Black. Governor Porter was intimately acquainted with tbe late Judge Black, aud lias many pleas ant remembrances of him. In a conversation; yesterday afternoon, the Governor relatsdtlo'a, Journal reporter an lucideut of the'wftr'wbifeh the great lawyer used to tell with pleasure* The Judge once Inadvertently wandered within the Confederate lines, and was captured. “What is this war about!” asked the Judge of a private soldier. “They tell me,” the soldier replied, “that we have some rights wo haven’t got, aud if we haven’t got ’em, we want ’em.” While Judge Blaok was Reporter of the Su preme Court, he was ttsked one day by tbe Gov ernor how he managed iu reporting the argu ments in cases where he himself was employed as a counsel, as he often was, and, in explana tion, it may be stated that it was the duty of the Reporter to give an abstraot of the argument of the counsel. “I am like Dr. Johnson said of him self when be reported the debates of the British Parliament,” answered the Judge. 44 ‘I always manage to make the rascally Whigs get a little the worst of lu’ A Jealous Colored Brother. Blonthlm A. Butler, a colored barber, whose shop is on North Illinois street, hut who lives at No. 56 Massachusetts avenue, voluntarily came before Justice Felbleman, yesterday morning, and entered a plea of guilty to assaulting his wife and Frank Lytle, a colored neighbor. But ler said that he had reason to suspect that his wife and Lytle were unduly intimate, and ac cordingly “laid” for them, and the ovidenoe thus obtained was more than sufficient to Justify bis suspicions. He accordingly whipped both of them, and then came down town to surrender himself to the court. He was assessed one oeut and costs hy the considerate Justice. Justice Felbleman yesterday issued a warrant for the arrest of Thomas Marshall, colored, on a charge of assaulting Anna Eliza Childs, with in tent to outrage, her husband being the com plainant. At last accounts the otfioers had not caught up with Marshall. Nainsook drawers, best make and seasonable, at Parker’s. We Don’t Have to Now.
