THE TuUIE PLEADED GtlLTV. llijs'a Mistake in Trying to Get a Light Sentence Everich Swindled Tjpe-Writers, Jndgo Woods eeotenced three men in the federal court yesterday, two of them to the penitentiary and one to jaiL Charles Hays and Kalph Lverich will spend eighteen and fifteen mouths, respectively, in the Triton North, while Uriah Karley, of Lafayette, is to tio to tho Noblesvillo jail for thirty day. Kach man was also fined $10 and costs. They all pleaded guilty, hut Hays made the mistake of trying to deceive the court in order to get a lijjht sentence. He is tho man who opened tho mail of John Katijan, an agent for John Kohiuson's circa, and obtained money by making contracts with various people for supplies for tbe show. Yesterday he denied that he was guilty of niiytbing more than simply opening Katijan's mail. Assistant District Attorney Cockrum thereupon went up to his ottice and brought down several of t hee contracts and handed them to Judge Woods. "is this your signature!" asked the Judge of the prisoner. Well, it looks like it," replied the latter, reluctantly, "but. you see. Judge. I was drunk all the time at tiullivau and don't remember anything about it." 'Write your name here," said the Judge, indicating a line below that on whicn iluya's name appeared on the bogus contract. The prisoner did so. and succeeded in disguir.ing the first name pretty well, but the last was so nearly like that on the lino above that there was no question whatever of his gnilt. Sentence was passed unon him w ithout further jiular. lialph Everich. who conducted his swindling operations under tbe name of Kalph Dale, said he knew it was dishonest to secure money ns he had done, but innocently told tlit Judge he did not know it was against the law. Ho claimed that he first conceived the idea of advertising situations for type-writers from a swindle which had victimized him, and that he had cot been in the business very long. The Judge scarcely thought that any justification lor his otiV nse. Hugh Karley failed to give bond for peddling tobacco, and his jail sentence is for that otlense. Deputy Marshall Moore will take the three prisoners north to-dar. stop ping at ISoblesville with Larley. Deputy Conway took Kicuard Forrrst to Michigan City yesterday to begin bi thirteen months' sentence lor counterfeiting. State Hoard of Health. The State Hoard of Health yesterday appointed Dr. Theo. McMechan. of Crawfordsville. as a member of the State dental board in place of E. J. Church, of Lal'orte. whose term had expired. Kales governing sanitary inspection, quarantine, disinfection and other matters pertaining to contagious diseases were adopted. They were chielly the old rules, with changes here and there to make them conform to the new law relating to health and health ollicers. Arrusrd of Larceny. Thomas M. Donaghoe and Joseph Smallwood were arrested, yesterday afternoon, as boisterous, by patrolmen Nilan and Thomas. Late last night theotlicers learned they were suspected of stealing a gold watch, aud the charge against them was changed to grand larceny. Abe Levi, an ex-convict, was a I ho arrested by Sergeant Campbell for stealing an umbrella in a saloon on the corner of South and Illinois streets. Filed with the Secretary of .State.

This company was organized Jan. 14, 1875, and has a membership of thirty-eight, two-thirds of whom are here in camp.

During the war it formed a part of tho Second Georgia Battalion, Wright's brigade, and lost thirty-nine men in killed and wounded on Cemetery Uidge in the battle of Gettysburg.

The Dickason' Light Artillery, of Danville. 111., came into camp with a gay collection of ribbons tlnttering from the head of their standard, L.ustof the ribbons signalizing victories, though a few black ones among tbe gay colored indicated that the young artillerists bed met with few defeats.

The Aurora Zouaves, tho finest zouave military organization of Illinois, and without a superior in the country, arrived late in the afternoon over tbe Mouon. Many of the wonderful and startling evolutions of this company are original with their captain, and the men are so admirably drilled that they go through what appears to be the most intricate and picturesque movements with marvelons ease. The zouaves were organized September, 1887, and have thirPyfive men. No company has achieved so much fame In tbe first four years of its existence, and any city in the country would be glad to have such a brilliant company. Their first contest was at Kansas Cit3r in 18'JO, where they took third prize, $C(iO, and there they ranked higher, but their uniform was counted against them, it was in their drill with the Chicago Zouaves at Burlington l'ark that they achieved great honor, beating that famous company and now bolaing the zouave championship of the United States.

Receptions to the Military. The BelknaD Kities, of San Antonio, Tex., were handsomely entertained last evening by Mrs. Francis Smith and daughter Ethel at their home at the corner of Tennessee and Third streets. The party was a lawn fete, and there is no more delightful place for such a company in the city. The spacious grounds are thickly studded with trees, and from these hundreds of Chinese lanterns were hung, seats being placed here and there invitingly. A platlorm was laid near the house fordaneingand Miller's Orchestra rendered a fine programme for tbe dance and promenade. The hostesses were assisted by Miss Lou Morris, Miss Jessie Bell and Miss Daisy McKay. Mrs. and Miss Smith have spent some time in. San Antonio, and tho members of the company are personal friends.

THE CONTRACT NOT SIGNED

Mayor Sullivan Worrjinjr Abont Delay in Beginning Work on tbe Viaduct. He Will Be Scalped by tha Angry South-Siders If Ramsey and Inpalls Bo Not Shortly Satisfy tbe Contractors. WORK XOT IJEGUX. Viaduct Contractors Want Something More Binding than Simple Orders. And still the viaduct work bangs fire. Tho Board of Public Works has been suing orders almost every day for a week pst, relative to the much-talked-about structure and the impression has gone out that work would surely begin yesterday but it didn't. The truth of tha matter is that the papers have never been signed and tbe contractors do not propose to take chances.: They very properly want the Union Kailway Company to sign tho contract before they do a bit of work. The appeal suits recently brought by several of the prop-i-rty-owners who are dissatisfied with their awards, have probably shaken the railway Company's faith in the ability of the Board of Publio Works to smooth away all the difficulties which beset the project. Tbe vigorous protest against the illegal process by which Alabama street waa vacated also worries tho company not a little, and the healthy prospect of the matter resulting in troublesome litigation is another incentive for delaying the building of tbe viaduct. Mayor Sulliyan and his board are visibly worried over the delay. They have been exerting all their energy to get the work started in order to be able to use it to advantage politically. If there is any serious hitch in it the South Side will be up in arms against Mayor Sullivan's administration. For that reason the bead and front of tbe city government, backed by the Council and Board ot Publio Works, took a dark-lantern way of vacating Alabama street. They knew the Union Kaiiway Company would never spend a dollar for the viaduct without securing that action. The charter prescribed a method which would cousnme too much time for tho Mayor and his supporters. They couldn't ailord, for political reasons, to delay so long. So they forced tbe vacation through under coverof an old law aud in the face of the charter. And after all. tbe work is not yetbegun. Mr. Kamsey has gone East to join President lugalls and there is no one here in authority. President Conduitt. of the Board of Public Works, says that body will surely take action on the delay this morning provided the work is not commenced. Meanwhile the South-siders are looking grimly on and thinking about sharpening their little scalping kuives for tho coming campaign. VIBGIMA AVENUE PAVING. Appeal of Property-Holder to Be Made for Brick Instead or Asphalt. The meeting of Virginia-avenue citizens, called for last evening, at engine-house No. S, attracted less than a dozen propertyowners. An organization was not attempted, but there was some talk about what brought them together, Charles Stnckemeyer being the principal spokesman. He suggested that they call upon the Board of Publio Works, this morning, in a body, to urgo a change from asphalt to brick for Virginia avenue. Mr. Golden should go before the board with a determined front, otlering it the alternative of cbauging the style of paving or being compelled by the courts to do so. George Seibert declined to aid in this plan at first, saying thatwhilo he preferred brick to asphalt, ho wanted so earnestly the improvement of tho street completed, thathe was unwillingtoencourage any movement that would prevent it. Ou being assured that, rather then preveut the improvement this year, if such would Erove the alternative, all opposition would e dropped, he consented to be one of the petitioners before the board. This did not exactly suit Mr. Golden, who reiterated confidence in tbo determined front idea, and said nothing could be done by compromises. Mr. Shelby declined to be a party to any movement likely to prevent the improvement of the avenue during this season. It was stated in general conversation, by one of tbe citizens, that tho Board of Publio Works was indifferent to tbe wishes of citizens, and nothing could be expected from it; that, furtbermore.it had drivenfono man out of the brick-supply business because he had seen that it was for asphalt. Tbe bids for tbe improvement of the avenue are to he opened noxt Monday. Notable Itesl-Esiate Transfers. In carryingoutthe provisions of Cyrus II. McCormick's will the property at the corner of Pennsylvania and Marylands streets was yesterday transferred to the McCormtck Harvesting Machine Company. The value of the property is $01.645.5i Nicholas McCarty has sold to Margaret K. McCarty Harrison the property fronting eighteen feet on Washington street inst east of Illinois' for -J0,WK). Mrs. Harrison has, in turn, transferred tbe property to her sous, Nicholas and Charles McCarty Harrison. A Tine Yield of Watermelons. P. L. Chambers bad a watermelon prodduct this year of ten thousand melons, in Florida, for which he received S75 a thousand on the ground. Selling them thereby the lot bethinks is better than bringing them to tbe market here, although yesterday he received one thousand melons, upon which he quickly turned a profit of $50. 1'arroU!
