It would seem that the Koontz Democratic Veterans think it is cheaper to move than pay rent. For a while tho little band met in the Hendricks club-room. Mansnr Hall was next secured, but the first night at that hall tho managers had some diffi culty in arranging the financial part of the programme and for a time Koontz and his comrades were without roof or shelter Last night a meeting was announced for the Criminal Court room, but at 8 o'clock only three men were standing in the upper corridors of the court-house, while probably a dozen were in those below. Thev were waiting for the gallant Koontz. butne did not come. Some ono sutreested going over to the Hendricks cinb-roora, but it was not until after several ottered serious objections that the proposition met with approval. As the squad marched down Washington street a general invitation to comrades met in that thoroughfare to join the line was accepted by a number, and bv the time the club-room was reached there was quite a crowd of tho misguided veterans to enter it. As the reporter climbed the stairway leading to the main entrance of the hall ho was stopped by a one-legged man. "Halt." he cried as he frantically flour ished a crutch in the air. "Do you know the countersign! 7 "Free trade and reform," suggested the reporter. "No, that's not it." replied the door keeper. "Are you a veteran! 7 "No, not exactly, but I want to see one. U he's in the hall." "Who do you wish to see!" "Your leader. Mr. Koontz." "Koontz." was the reply in a mock sneer ing tone of voice, "why, he don't belong to "So this is not the Koontz Veterans' meet ing, is it!" the reporter asked. "No, not by a long ways; this is a white man's meeting." "Ob. then that is meant for a snub at youririenu rvoomz, la in ' "Yes. if he wants to take it as snch. tint that don't cut no ticure here. If von don't know the pass-word I guess you had better iiiuvu uu. u ujiu b isui no use ior any bodv up here bnt what's a Democrat" The conversation ended here, without tho reporter being ablo to ascertain whero th veterans hope to rind a meeting-place next Tveeik, or wnemer, in lact, any 6uch hope is emeriaineu.

A peculiar suit for conversion, involving the purchase money for a woman's cloak, was brought before Justice of the Peace Smock yesterday. It was an action of Moses Williams, colored, against W. T. "Wiley & Co., the North Illinois-street dry-goods-dealers. Williams claims that in September. 18S8, in company with a lady, whom he afterward married, he called at Wiley fc Co.'s store and selected the garment for which S2S in installments was to be paid. His first payment was made and tho cloak laid aide. Williams says he continued to make payments until uct. irj, paying eio in all. About Christmas he noticed an advertisement of a closing-out saleof the firm, and called to ask that the partially-paid forcloa&be reserved from the sale. He was assured, he says, that it would be held at least two months longer, and on last Tuesday, he claims, he called again and tendered 10, the balance of the original price. He was told that tho cloak had been sold, and that, being shop-worn, it had brought only 12. This, with Williams's payments, was only 2 in excess of the price to nave been paid by tno latter, and tne firm, he charges, refused to refund tho amount paid by him. For this he now sues. ine suit will be decided .Monday. A Dlrorce Given Downey. Johann Downey was granted a divorce from Eudora E. Downey, by Judge Howland, yesterday, on peculiar grounds.

An Electric Railway to Be Built for the Citi zens' Street-Railroad Company. Since the passage of the ordidance grant ing the Citizens' Street-railroad Company the right to use eloctricity Mr. Shafler says he has been spending considerablo timo in inducing the directors to accept the fran chise and enter upon the work, as he large ly used his own responsibility in getting the ordinance through. Considerable time wfialso spent in perfecting matters with the Thompson-Houston company, but that work is at last completed. The contract with that company," said Mr. Shatter to the reporter, last nignt, "has Deen perfected. The line to be equipped will bo from the Union Station to Crown Hill, thence to Fairview Park, and .v?ul bo six and a half miles long. This will be equipped with the best electrical apparatus, with iron and ornamented posts in the center of the street. The trolley system will be employed, with insulated wires eighteen feet above the ground. The- current of electricity will pass from the wire down the trolley through the car to the motors on the axles." 'How many motor cars will there be!' Ten: and to each axle will be two motors of fifteen horse-power each, and two will be sutlicient to draw two extra cars, thus prac tically giving to the line thirty cars." 'Wnat is the size of theso cars!" "Each car will accommodate from fifty to sixtv people so that a train will cam from 150 to 175 people. It is proposed to make tho passage from the Lnion station to Fairview Park iti twenty mluutes.'7 Vhon do you propose to begin work?' "We began yesterday to tear down build buildings on the site of tho Tennessee-street barn, 'to make ready for a largo powerhouse ono hundred feet square by sixty feet high. This will bo made of brick. Wo have an acre of ground there, so that there will be room to add to tho building hereafter, .'and no better site can be found, as from tjhat point the lines can be throwu out to every part of tho city. In this house will Jbo one ii0 horse-power engine. two Xower, era tor upright boilers or 500 bteam and two Thompson-Houston genof eighty horse-power each.

Jir. uiara, tne electrician of theThompson-Houston Company, is here now preparing his jdans, and the engineer, Mr. Mclntyre, has been here and made the necessary surveys." ill uiu uaii iuuuus uu ou iuu uuei "There will be a spnr run to the ballpark on Seventh 6treet. and the fare will bo only 5 cents from the Union Station to Fairview Park, beyond the cemetery. The lines will be arranged so as to bo without dancer, as the power used will not be sufficient to hurt one should he como in contact with it." V hen will this electric line be in opera tion?" "The rails have been ordered, and the contract is that tho road shall be in operalion oy the 1st ot May." PHASES OFrOLITICS. The Prohibitionists Have Hot Words In Se lecting a Delegate from a Township. The county Prohibition convention, held in tho Mayor's court-room, yesterday afternoon, was attended principally by women. They, with tho few men there, elected J. A. Pollock, of the Phalanx, chairman, and in a brief speech he informed his hearers that for all that he knew the cause of the party was progressing as well as could be expected. . The only business of conse quence transacted was the election of delegates to the State convention, which is to be held in Toralinson Hall on the 20th of this month. It was decided to allow six delegates to Center township, and 4. 11' . Wr T - , Decatur townships. Sixty-three votes were cast in balloting, the result being the selec tion of Dr. li. T. Brown, Mrs. 11. T. Brown, J. A. Pollock, Eli F. Hitter, Charles W. Uakes and George W. HoUman to represent center township. liadley Keeve. was unanimously selected' to represent Decatur township. Rev. Israel H. Presley Lawrence township and Key. J. F. McDanieis Wayne township. When nominations were maae ior the representative for Warren township, Sylvester Johnwon was named and it was supposed by his friends that be had a clear held until ,'ohn 13. Jaques, expressed a desire to ha rlev. Jasper a. Hughes chosen. It was ..;scovered. however, that Hushes is now living in Cincinnati; bnt Jaqucs insisted that he was there simply to educate his children and that he is still a resident of Irvmgton. "I insist on my nomination," Mr. Jaques said, "for Hughes wasthecandidatefor Gov ernor on our ticket and he is a good man." lhat may all be true ,,J shouted one dele gate, "but Mr. Jaques has no right to put man in the held just because he is person ally opposed to Air. Johnson." Uo you dare to say such things to me!" retorted Mr. J amies. "Mr. Chairman, no delegate has a right to impugn tny motives in this convention. I have the right to make a nomination, have I not?" In order to pacify Mr. Janues. tho Chair informed him that he had, bnt Captain Kitter objected to the Chair's ruling, on the ground that no one except a resident of that township could nominate the delegate, but he was declared out of order by the chairman. "I don't believe. Mr. Chairman " said Mr. Johnson, "that Mr. Hughes is eligible as a ueiegaie, ior j am roiu tnat ne is living in Cincinnati, lor that reason 1 think ris name is entirely out of order." It was de emed to submit tho matter to the convention, and Mr. Johnson was elected. The Prohibition Club will meet at its rooms. No. CS1 North Pennsylvania street, at 7:30 o'clock to-night. Key. S. J. Lackey will address the meeting. Political Committees. i The Republican county central commit tee will meet to-morrow night to iixthe time for holding the township convention.

Director Walter Appleton, of the New York League Base-ball Club, returned from Klmirathis morning. and to a crowd of newspaper men hinted that Dan Eichardson, tho famous secondbaseman, would sign a League contract and play in his old position this season. Mr. Apnleton said also that Mike Kelly wouldsigna Leagao contract within two weeks. Among the Players' League men there is a disposition to stamp the whole affair as a League blutf, designed to work dis trust among tno players ana thus weaken their organization. "Danny is as solid as a rock," said a Brotherhood man, 'and as for Mike Kelly, the League magnates can't touch him." League adherents on the other hand declared their linn belief that if Kichardson had not positively signed he had given his word to Mr. Appleton to stand by the old club. , In base-ball circles here there is considerablo talk about tho members of the Play ers7 League now in this city and in Chicago. It is noted that theso old players are ap1arently resting on their ''reputation" as all-plavers, anil that they are all in high llesh and living sumptuously every day," while the League Chicago team, headed by Anson, are already in perfect form and are on tho road "playing ball." it is said also that it will be impossible for the Players' League men to get in "ball form" by the time the season opens, and that many of them will commence the season fat and heavy, and in no shape to compete with athletes who have been under the rigid discipline of the League management, and in nil other respects fitted for good ballplaying. ' Muncle Joins the State League. Bpec-fal to the Indianapolis Journal. Muxcie, Ind., Feb. 13. This morning Harry Smith, tho base-ball organizer, waited on the street-railway officials of this city, who agreed to donate an inclosed park, with a grand-stand and seating capacity for one thousand peoplo to the club to be organized here as one of the league. A line bicycle track will also be constructed in tho enclosure, which will be 410 feet square. Ten shares of $100 each will betakeu by citizens, one of which the railway company will take, while two other citizens have put their names down for ono share each. There are now ten clubs knocking at the door for membership, who will likely form the league, as follows: Muncie. Union City, Anderson. Marion. Logausport, Lafayette, Goshen, Elkhart, abash and Port YV ay no. Tho Muncie Base-ball Club for the Indiana State League was organized to-night by the election of the following officers: S. C. Goshorn, president; A. L. Johnson, vicepresident; Carl Spilker, treasurer, J. C. Abbott, secretary, with the following directors: W. E. H. Marsh, Chas. Kirk, Georgo F. McCulloch. C. E. Shipley, T. J. Lockwood, J. L. Wachtell and J. K. IIummeL Harry T. Smith was- authorized to sign a manager and all the players. Capital stock ot 1,000 was about all taken. Gave lllin an Or tier-Book. Councilman Olsen, chairman of the Board of Public Improvements, carried out his promises of reform and economy, yesterday, by presenting to Street Commissioner Do Kuiter an order-book at the city's expense. It is intended to be used in pursuance with the board's recent notice that all orders issued from the commissioner's office must bo tirst inspected by tho members of the board, but. it would seem, Mr. Olsen was a tritle previous in his preparation. Mr. De Kuiter's suit against the board is pending in the courts, and there will probably be no use for tho handsome and expensivo volume in his possession. Mr. Olsen will then have the pleasure of either goinsdown into his own pocket, or asking the citizens of Indianapolis, through the Council, to pay for the book. ' . His Family Frightened. Joseph Dupree, fifty years of age. frightened his family into a panicky 6tate about 10 o'clock last night by making bia appcarauce at his home on Ann street in an intoxicated condition, with a huge revolver, which he nourished in a threatening manlier. Tho members of the household scattered in snndry directions and patrolmen Thompson and Foltzenlogel placed tho mau under arrest.

COSTLY BLAZE AT CHICAGO.

Business Block Burned and Nearly Half a Million Worth of Property Destroyed. Chicago, Feb. 13. The large brick and stone building at the corner of Adams and Market streets, owned by the dry-goods house of J. V. Farwcll it Co., caught lire early this morning and before the llamcs could be subdued the southern half of it was gutted. This portion of tho building was occupied by Taylor Bros., dealers in hats and caps, and Work Bros., dealers in clothing and uniforms. A heavy fire-wall, which runs through tho middle of the structure, prevented tho 6pread of the flames to the northern half of tho building, which is filled with a heavy wholesale 6tock of dry goods of the Messrs. Farwcll. A careful estimate of the loss places the total damage at 475.000. of which Mr. Work losses $035,000; Taylor Bro3., $.V).0aa, and Farwell & Co., on tho building. $10u,0U0. One life will probably be lost mid several of tho firemen aro seriously injured. Wm. Sallander, while on a thirty-six foot ladder on the south wall, was knocked from his footing and fell to the stoue pavement bolow. Iie8truckon his head and was picked up unconscious. His skull was fractured and he was internally injnred. John Meyers fell with the crashing in of the third Moor, and was dragged out more dead than aiivo by his comrades. It is not thought, however, that he is fatally hurt. Three other men were cut about the face, head and hands by flying glass, bnt none of them seriously. It is a mystery as to how the fixo started. A mercurial alarm in the sixth story cave the first intelligence of the fire. There are no turnaces, stoves or other device for heating the basement, except gas, and as this was burning all night it is not thought Erobable that it was the cause. All tbe eat used is furnished from the wholesaleestablishment of J. V. Farwell &. Co. by means of a pipe Tunning throuch the lirewall. The fire comes especially heavy on the firms in the burned building, owinpjto the coming spring trade, for which all had been prepared. Hundreds of orders had been filled, while as many more were on the tiles. Not less than 2,500 persons will be thrown out of employment. J. V. Farwell, jr., said the destroyed building was worth about $100,000. He said his firm had no apprehension of the origin of tho fire. He did not think the fire could get out of the building in which it first started. Said he: 4,The fire-walls on each side of the building, separating it from the other stores in the block, are made of concrete, and are absolutely lire-proof. These filewalls are unique in Chicago architecture. Instead of tho regulation brick, stone or tiling, they are composed of concrete or broken rock mixed with cement. They were kept in place when first built by a frame-work, which was removed after tho concrete had hardened. The wall thus made is practically one piece of stone." The fire caused great confusion among tho hundreds of girls who work in the manufacturing establishments in the vicinity. There were hundreds of them on their way to work, and many of them remained in the street for fear lesT. the tire should reach their workshop. Mendel Brothers & Co., dealers in fancy dry goods, occupied the basement, and theirloss is probably 25,000, chiefly by water. Bent-Wood Factory Burned. Utica, N. Y., Feb. 13. A fire in Camden last evening destroyed tho building occu pied by Snow Brothers as a manufactory of bent-wood articles. Loss on stock and machinery. S-U000: insuraace. $1)000. Tho building was worth $10,000, and was not in sured. Old Hutch's" Clerk lleturns to Work. Chicago, Feb. 13. Bert Stoner, the set tling clerk said to have cheated his emSloyer, supposed to be tho sharpest of tho oard of Trade operators. B. H. Hutchin son, out of some thousands of dol lars, was back to work, to-day, in Mr. Hutchinson's office. The report was that some weeks ago, after "nuking" Hutchinson by a ridiculously simple expedient, Stoner suddenly took a journey to Canada. Upon what basis the clerk and the operator now resume their old relations could not be readily ascertained. Both of them flatly. declined to talk. yew Ice. A.
