JOYS OF LABOR DAY

WORKING PEOrLK OK, THE CITY HAVE A PERIOD OF FESTIVITY. . Tlrf5 Observance of the Day Opened " with, a Creditable Parade In Downtown Streets AT THE STATE FAIE GROUNDS THE CROWD WAS ANXIOUS TO SEE THE COTTAGE BLOWN VP. A Dynamite Cartridge Finally I'sed to Do the Work Various Kinds of Races Enjoyed. Yesterday was Labor day, the toilers day of rest and amusement, and it was generally observed in this city. All tools were laid aside, the noise and hum of the factory ceased, massive smoke stacks usually made conspicuous by black volumes of smoke, lacked that form of attraction. and the busy Industries of the city were wrapped in silence. Very few, if any, factories continued operations yesterday, and all laboring men were permitted to enjoy their holiday as they saw fit. The regular programme of the day was in the hands of the labor organizations of the city, and was carried out with the precision that marks the laboring man's dally habits. Nothing was left un done that would add to the pleasure of the event, and no pains wire spared to make the celebration all tha could be desired. Generally, the laborlnf men, with their families, took an outing, the greater num ber going to the fair grounds, where the programme of the day proper was observed, but there was also a liberal sprinkling of the laboring element at all the parks of the city, where minor affairs took place. A few spent -the day at home or visiting with friends. Never did this city see such a demonstra tion of organized labor and never was a celebration of the laboring men's holiday carried out with such complete success. The new plan of eliminating long speeches was appreciated, and brought many more people out to spend the day at the fair grounds and parks than would otherwise have turned out. The whole affair was In the hands of organized labor, directed by a committee composed of delegates from each labor union in the city. Preparatory measures being centralized In this one body, everything went off without friction, and well-set plans materialized to the en tire satisfaction of the committee and all interested. Chairman M. T. Butler, of the Labor-day committee, had the supervision of the af fair, and there was a lack of dissension and discord frequently characteristic of preparations for like events. There was not a flaw to mar the pleasure of the entire proceeding, and it Is said that more laboring men and their families took part in yesterday's celebration than at any similar event in the history of Indianapolis. DOWNTOWN PARADE And a Day of Festivities at the State Fnlr Grounds. With large clouds flitting through the sky yesterday morning. Labor day was ushered In and the hopes of many who looked forward to the day as one of pleasure sank, but the sun soon made its appearance. The day was ideal for the bis celebration which the Central Labor Union had planned to take place at the State fair grounds. The day's festivities began with a parade of all the unions in the morning at 10 o'clock. Long before that hour the down-town streets were densely racked with people to witness the procession. Unlike many similar demonstrations the on-lookers did not have to wait long for the moving column, for It appeared exactly on time. The parade was headed by Chief Marshal Kock and hl3 assistants, followed by a platoon of police, commanded by Captain Dawson. In the first division, Adolph Mueller was dressed as Gambrlnus mounted on a large gray horse. Thi3 division was artistically made -up. Each member of a union carried some product of his labor representing his union. There were two or three floats in this division, which were admirably got up. The second division was headed by Henry Slough and it comprised all the typographical and allied unions. In this division was a float containing rolls of paper from which rewspapers are made and also the large stereotype plates. The third division was headed by John McGregor, and It contained the riasterers' Union, Stone Masons' Union, the Iron Molders, and Wood, Wire and Metal Workers' Union. In the midst of this body was a large float on which was built a partition. the work of lathing being done along the line of march. The fourth division was headed by O. E. Minor, and the feature of it was a huce cigar, and surrounding it were a number of tobacco plants. Following this float tame 200 members of the Cigar Makers' Union, each smoking a cigar. Another novelty In the parade and which caused many of the on-lookers to hide their eyes was the Tinners' Union, each member carrying a shining tin umbrella. The plumbers had a novel display. The parade was a success in every particular, and it Is estimated that over 3,000 men were in line. AT THE FAIR GROUNDS. Immediately after the parade the crowd began to leave for the fair grounds. The cars "were packed, although the service was carried on a rapid schedule and only a slight decrease was noticeable in the numbers going out to take part In the celebration until many began to return to the city. The crowd at the fair grounds was scattered, and estimates of Its size ranged all the way from 6.000 to 15.000. Towards the middle of the afternoon the crowd began to center,, about the grandstand to witness the races and track n veltlcs that were on the programme. The cottage in the field of the race course that was to be blown up by natural gas was the center or interest and large crowds of tho curious inspected the buildlnr. knocking on the weather boarding, try ing ail tne aoors, peeping in at the win dows. and doing many other things to sat isfy a thirst for knowledge of the innermost secrets of a gas explosion. The spectacle of destruction was to have taken place at 4:30 o'clock, but it was 6:30 before repeated attempts to mow tne nouse sky hieh terminated In success. About the hour scheduled for the exploMon to take place two policemen were sent to the house to drive the curious back towards the grand stand. This was a difficult undertaking, but the field was fin ally clear. A committee was working in the house to see that nothing would go wrong to mar the effect of the scene, or prevent the explosion from demolhhing the building wnen .miss Jessie Lendorml should press the electric button. At length the committee retired, the gas was turned on and it was announced that the house would be wrecked at 5:20. It was a half hour till time for the frame structure to be rent into atoms, and the crowd impatiently waited. Men in the grand stand pulled out their watches every few minutes, carefully cal culated the time and announced the re suit to neighbors. Ten minutes before the appointed time the uipense the spectators

were undergoing began to be noticeable.

By 5:15 women began to shift about in their chairs, look nervously around and maka other preparations to withstand the suddenness of the shock. Two minutes ater the men began to crane their necks. telling the women to not let their nerves bother them, while they held their watches n their hands. One minute was then all that Intervened and the tension was Increased many degrees. Suddenly all became quiet, every eye was riveted upon the building standing far out in the center of the field. It could be seen that Miss Lendorml had her finger ori the electric button, and from the action of those in the Judges' stand t was known that she was about to press t. Every form was bent forward, the hands of watches that had been set with those in the judges' stand stood over the mark that was to be fatal to the lonely cottage, people in the crowd winced, some shut their eyes and all got ready to dodge. The hands of the watches had now passed he designated mark and each person held his breath. One minute passed and there was no timber flying through the air. two minutes and the nervous twitching of eyeids became less noticeable; three minutes. four minutes, five minutes and yet no ex plosion. Then the committee was seen o break over the safety line and make for the house. It was realized that something had gone wrong and the spectators restlessly kept their seats while they awaited developments. ANOTHER DELAY. Soon It was announced from the stand that the explosion would take place within a half hour. Something had gone wrong with the sparking device that was to Ignite the gas. A crowd followed the committee that was to make the adjustment to the house and soon it was surrounded. After working for ten minutes In the building the committee again quit. Seme one Inthe crowd yelled "run," and there was a wild scramble toward the grand stand, the long weeds tripping the feet of the runners to the amusement of the grand stand specta tors. Again all was In readiness and Miss Lendormi pushed, the button again. But the mechanical arrangement at the other end again failed to respond. Once again it was adjusted and the crowd made prepa rations to grow excited, but the third time was also a failure. The sun had sunk behind the tree tops and darkness threatened to fall over the grounds and leave the house still standing. However, the committee had advertised an explosion tnat was to blow un a house and it was determined to give the people the worth of their money. The next time the men went to the house one carried an arm load of something. The people in the grand stand could not make out. It was dynamite. As soon as this became known the spectators applauded in admiration of the determined effort to carry out the pro gramme as advertised. The dynamite fuse was adjusted, the crowd was pushed back toward tne fence and no one was near the house except one man. He was the man with a match. Presently he struck it. stooped over and then a flash went up from inc ground and began traveling rapidly toward the building, while the man separated himself from the building as fast an his legs would carry him. The neoDle had now become so accustomed to failures that this was looked upon with doubt, but an instant after the last spark disappeared irom me iuse on the outside there was a sluggish roar, the roof of the building raised and one wing of the house toppled to the north, almost separating itself from ine mam building, while flames shot out of every opening and crevice. Then the timbers settled back to their former positions as far as the disarranged carpenter work would allow. The buildinir and the explosion was over. While the manner of blowinir un h house was not as picturesque as It would have been had the building been rent to pieces at the touch of a young woman, yet it was blown up and the audience was fairly well satisfied. Soon after the ex plosion a chemical engine from the Indianapolis fire department ran to the wrecked building and put out the fire. THE RACING. The afternoon programme closed with a last heat of a 2:20 trotting race which was won by Prairie Girl, in 2:13. Glad Boy was a close second. The race between these two horses for first place was exciting, Glad Boy winning one heat, and each time the one in the lead only came under the wire a neck ahead. Th 3 balloon ascension was a failure. It went up less than fifty feet and then came down without Injury to the aeronaut. The mile bicycle race was won by M. T. Levey, H. E. Rhodes coming in second. The half-mile bicycle race was won by Rhodes with Levey second and Ray Davis third. The fat man's race was won by James Bryson, and the lean man's race by Harry Ingram. The prize for the lean man's race was contested by Edwin Meredith, who asserted that Ingram did not have a union card, a necessary requirement. The street-car company promised adequate service and made It good. The crowd was handled better than any that has assembled for any gathering or demonstration this year and instead of persons hanging on at every corner, most all gained seats. There was a jam at the gates, but nothing more than could be expected at such a gathering. Plans of the 3Inslclans. Tho local musicians union has taken measures to exclude amateur musicians from rehearsing with professional orchestras. The action will more seriously affect the larger orchestras, such as the Indianapolis Smyphony Orchestra and the German Houso Orchestra, although smaller ones will come under the new ruling. It was decided that $1 would be charged for each rehearsal and $1 for each engagement. Amateurs have ben playing with professional orchestras for the experience, receiving a very small compensation, and the union has decided to stop the practice. When these amateurs pass a required examination before a board composed of members of the union they will be admitted as musicians, entitled to union pay. The action is not directed against any particular orchestra, but will be general in effect, although it takes out a number who have been playing in the Symphony and German House orchestras. COLLECTING MONEY. The Fall Festivities Committee Now at Work. The work of soliciting funds from the retail dealers In various lines began yesterday, and the results were very satisfactory. The $15,000 fund, necessary for defraying the expenses of the October carnival, must be subscribed at once, and a number of committees are out at work. It was decided jesterday that the trip to Cincinnati under the auspices of the Fall Festivities Society will be made soon in order that as much advertisement for the Indianapolis carnival as possible may be obtained.

OPERA HOUSE MEETING

SENATOR FAIRBANKS WILL SPEAK TO-MORROW NIGHT, The 3InrIon 3Iarchlng Club Will Act as Escort Political Gooslp of Interest. It has been decided that John L. Griffiths will preside at the Fairbanks meeting at'Engllsh's Opera House to-morrow night. Senator Fairbanks, It is understood, will touch on all the issues of the campaign. Republicans who have the meeting in charge expect a large crowd. Joseph B. Keallng said yesterday that no one need remain away from the meeting in the fear that the theater will be excessively warm, as the atmosphere will be kept cool by means of electric fans. On this occasion the members of the Marion Marching Club will make their appearance In their smart new uniforms and will escort Senator Fairbanks from the Denlson Hotel to the theater. One of the features of the meeting will be the appearance of the Eiwood Tlnplate Glee Club, consisting of thirty-two members. In addition to the music furnished by this organization the Marion Glee Club, of six teen voices, will sing. THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECHES. He Will Have Something to Say of Trnstu This Campaign. "In my speeches in this campaign I in tend to discuss trusts as one of the issues before the people," declared Governor Mount last night, "and I think the Repub licans can make quite as good a showing on this Issue as the Democrats can. The very worst trusts in the United States the most formidable ones are tho Standard Oil, the dressed beef, ice andjnsurance trusts, and I hardly think the most be nighted Democratic stump orator can maintain that either of these combinations were created or have been fostered by the pro tective tariff, which is so vehemently charged as a crime against Republicans. "I have taken occasion to look a little into Mr. Bryan's record on trusts," continued the Governor, "and I have found some interesting facts. Mr. Bryan was in Congress after the year 1802. when the Democratic national platform declared against trusts and President Cleveland rec ommended drastic anti-trust legislation, and yet Mr. Bryan did not 'open his head' on the trust question, nor did the Demo cratic party attempt to amend the Sherman anti-trust bill or to add another line to it or furnish one single line of legisla tion upon the trust question. During that administration (Mr. Cleveland's) something like 400 trusts were organized in the United States. Mr. Bryan speaks for the sake of popularity and to win votes, but his acts as a legislator do not indicate that in such capacity he was influenced by any great concern for the interests of the people. "The trust question Is an important ques tion snd one that must be met boldly," said the Governor, with emphasis. "I do not propose to evade it on the stump, but 1 shall expose these gigantic corporations as a menace to the prosperity of the country. Furthermore, I say without the slightest hesitancy or fear that, if I did not believe tho Republican party would give us positive legislation against these dangerous combinations, which are formed for the purpose of arbitrarily controlling the price of products and controlling the law of sup ply and demand, if I did not believe the Republican party would give us vigorous legislation against such combinations, I would not lift my voice In the campaign. My attitude on the trust question, as I have outlined It to you, indicates what my position will be in the canvass. "What we Republicans must do, the Governor continued, "is to go on the stump and tell the people the exact truth that the only anti-trust legislation which has ever been given them was given by the Re publican party In the form of the Sherman law, passed by a Republican Congress. The Democrats have been in power since that bill became a law, and trusts have been multiplying ever since, and yet they neither strengthened the law, which they have de clared to be weak, nor have they offered anythmg in place of it." HE IS FOR M'KINLEY. Ilishop Alexander Walters Will Give Him Hearty Support. "I have been asked t,o sign a paper pledging myself to surport President McKinley," said Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the Afro-American Council, last night, "and I told the gentleman who presented the paper to me that I would sign it willingly, provided it should be on the understanding that I was doing so as a private citizen and In no sense as having any connection with the Afro-American Council. I am heartily in favor of the present administration and shall do all in my power to secure its continuance for another four years, but at the same time I do not wish the council, of which I am president, to be dragged into politics. The prime object of the Afro-American Council is the uplifting and betterment of the condition of the colored race, and I believe that when It is sitting as a council all talk of a political character should be barred. "It ts my understanding," continued Bishop Walters, "that the paper to which I refer is being circulated among the bishops and other delegates to the Zion Council now in session in Jones's chapel in this city. I have talked with several to whom the paper has been presented and they look upon the matter favorably. I think it is safe to say that a majority of the gentlemen attending the Zion Council will unite with a majority of the delegates to the recent Afro-American Council in affixing their signatures to that paper, thereby pledging to President McKinley their cordial sympathy and hearty support." . WILL SITPORT M'KIXLEY. Joseph Nevrbergcr, of Matthen-, Leaves the Democratic Party. Joseph Newberger, brother of Attorney Louis Newberger, of this city, and a prominent general merchant of Matthews, Ind., has been staying at the Denison Hotel for a few days. Mr. Newberger was for thirty years a Democrat, but recently announced that he proposed to support McKinley and Roosevelt. On Saturday night Mr. New berger made a speech in this city before the Commercial Travelers Republican club. He says the Bryan platform is too much for him. He stood it in 1806 and voted for Bryan, but he was not an enthusiastic sup porter of the Democratic party then. Since that election he has had time to analyze the platform closely and he feels that he cannot stand on It. Bryan s 16-to-l hobby Is one of the chief things that drove Mr. Newberger out of the party, and besides. he takes no stock in the Democratic howl of "imperialism." He savs he is in thor ough accord with he administration's Philipp'ne policy and he proposes to do all he can toward the election of McKinley and Roosevelt. Mr. Newberger was postmaster of his town under President Cleveland The place was then known as New Cum berland. Populist Candidate Comln&r. C. M. Walters, secretary of the Topulist State committee, has received word of the coming of Wharton Barker, the Mid dle-of-the-road Populist candidate for Tres ident. Mr. Barker will arrive here the evening of Sept. 11. and will remain over night. The local Populists are preparing to hold a meeting In the Criminal Court room, where Mr. Barker will deliver an adress. Should the crowd prove too large for the court room an open-air meeting will be held. Iron League's Big Meeting. John C. Daney, collector of the port of Wilmington. N. C. who was in attendance at the Afro-American conference, ad dressed the Iron League Republican Club

at their home, last night. The house was crowded and the speaker was enthusiastically received. Mr. Daney, in the course of his remarks, said it was the duty of every colored man to support the Republican ticket this fall If he desired to continue to enjoy the full privileges of citizenship. Messrs. W. E. Henderson, of this city, and Hugh E. Rouse, of Evansvillc. made stirring speeches. Mr. William E. Gibson presided and F. D. Welch made the introductory remarks. The Iron League will turn out in a body to attend the opening speech of the campaign by Senator Fairbanks at English's Opera House to-morrow evening.

Roosevelt nt South Bend. The State committee has arranged to have Frederick Landis speak at South Bend Saturday afternoon. In the evening a big demonstration will be held in honor of Theodore Roosevelt's visit to that place. It is expected that Governor Roosevelt will arrive there about 5 o'clock. It is the plan for Governor Mount, Chairman Hernly and other Republican leaders to meet Governor Roosevelt at Nlles. Mich., and accompany him to South Bend. It is announced that there will be a big turnout of Rough Riders to welcome the vice presidential candidate. Frank B. Ilnrke's Record. A State official, who has read Frank L. Littleton's exposure of Frank B. Burke's record as a member of the Indiana Senate, said yesterday that he had been looking Into Candidate Burke's record a little on his own account. This gentleman made the discovery that In the session of 1SS9 Mr. Burke voted against the final passage of the identical election law under which he is now asking the people of the Seventh district to send him to Congress to replace Jesse Overstreet. Sixth District Politics. Miles K. Moffett, member of the Republican State committee from the Sixth district, was at State headquarters yesterday, and announced that affairs in his district are moving along smoothly enough for the Republicans. On Saturday evening, at Connersvllle. Representative Watson will address the Republicans of the district. This will be the most pretentious meeting that has been held thus far this campaign in the Sixth district. A New Campaign Song. One of the lattest campaign songs published is entitled "Battle at the rolls." It it dedicated to Col. W. T. Durbin, Republican candidate for Governor. The words are by T. S. Williamson and the music by H. G. Neely. The music is being published by the Anderson Music Publishing Company, of Anderson. The Sixty-Day Poll. At county Republican headquarters the force has been busy for several days preparing for the sixty-day poll which will be taken all over tho State to-morrow and Thursday. In Marlon county from five to eight men will have charge of the work in each precinct. niK Meeting at Pern. Great preparations are being made for the meeting which Attorney General Taylor is to address In Peru, Ind., to-morrow night. Mr. Taylor will be the principal speaker at another meeting of large pro portions wnicn win be held in Fort Wayne Friday night of this week. SENT TO THE GOVERNOR. A Handsome Present from J. S. Cul ver, of Springfield, III. Governor Mount received a handsome present yesterday from Mr. J. S. Culver, of Springfield, 111., who made the generous offer recently to erect a suitable monument over the grave of Abraham Lincoln's mother free of charge. The design of the new monument has now been completed, and Mr. Culver had a beautiful pen and ink sketch of It made and inclosed in an appropriate frame to be presented to Governor Mount as a token qf friendship and in testimony of the Governor's disinter ested efforts toward providing the mother of the martyred President with a fitting memorial. The Governor said last night that Mr. Culver will ship the stone for the monument to Spencer county about the last of this month, and that early in October the finishing touches will be made on the work. The large block of granite which will form the "capstone of the monument is now being prepared in an Eastern city. "It is the intention to have the entire sixteen acres of ground surrounding Mrs. Lincoln's grave deeded to the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial Association," said the Governor. "It will be easy enough to secure a clear title from the County Commissioners to all of the land except onehalf acre Immediately around the grave. That piece of ground was originally deeded by Shtllito & Co., of Cincinnati, to the County Commissioners forever, and hence a somewhat tedious and complicated legal procedure will be made necessary in order to vest its title in the association. When. however, the association secures a clear title to the entire tract of sixteen acres, which it undoubtedly will, steps will be taken at once to improve and beautify the place. There is now in the hands of Col. Z. A. Smith, treasurer of the association, the sum of $1.100, to be used for this purpose. Representative James A. Hemenway was the donor of $100 of this amount, and the rest Is in the form of a check for $1,000 from a person who has obligated the association not to divulge his name." PENNSYLVANIA LINES.
