A LAW of the State, specifically made for City Councils, declares that no one shall be Councilman who is, directly or indirectly, inttflrestsd in any contract or agreement mad^with the city. The Gas Superintendent, who represents that company from the Fifth Ward, aud Markey, who helps him from the Twenty-third Ward, both violate this law—Markey making money off the city by selling it foundry supplies. Thebe ought to be no politics in city aflUra. They cost the people dearly and inevitably produce misgovernment. This is the history of all cities. An honest business management could do twioe as much with the money, and do it better. Don’t be deceived by the cry that we must have government by political parties. It fa not true. It is a humbug intended to deceive. Vote for the best man and that will soon explode it

THE beast fa made that taxation here fa low. Why fa it? Because a law limits the rate. This has been one of the best measures ever devised for the city and has maintained its credit for years. But Mayor Denny and the Oouncilmen who . do not serve the people’s interest, want it destroyed. They have advocated its repeal at every epportunity, and have rep* reseated that the taxes must he increased. That taxation fa low is not due to them. It they had had their way it would have bean much higher.

AWFUL. DESTRUCTION BY STATE FAIR BOLLEB EXPLOSION.

A Score of Years Aj*o Indianapolis’s Greatest Calamity Occurred— Thirty Lives Lost and Fifty Persons Injured.

Twenty year* ago last Tuesday October 1) the most dreadful catastrophe that ever visited Indianapolis, or the State of Indiana for that matter, occurred. A portable engine boiler exploded at the State Fair Grounds, killing Instantly nearly a score of people, and maiming, many of them for life, nearly half a hundred more. Some of the injured died from the effects of their wounds. The story of the awful accident is still fresh in the minds of all the older citizens of Indianapolis, and of thousands who were here from all parts of the

State.

It was the last day of the Fair. Four days of unexampled pleasure and prosperity had attended the exhibition. In the midst of the excitement and giddiness of the closing hours, without a moment’s warning of its dread approach, death in most hideous shape came

upon the joyous company.

One o’clock was the hour assigned for the trial of portable engines and saw-mills, in which a number of firms were entered. The test was an exciting one, and the victory was won by the Sinker machine, manufactured iu this city by Sinker A Co. About 8 o’clock Mr. Sinker's foreman thought it advisable to saw up the logs on hand so as to be ready for the removal on the morrow. The engine was started and by 4:15 o’clock the task was accomplished, with the exception of two turns. A large circle of interested lookers-on gathered around the machine, while scat tered over the ground, many of them near at hand, were 12,000 or 15,009 people. Without warning— though several had feared that the engine was ming at too high a pressure—a noise like

WOULD the gang rejoice in the election of Sullivan? Would the political corporation combine be happy over it? Would the Gas Company feel like illuminating at the event? These are plain, honest questions and there is one plain, honest answer to them all; it is “No.” Sullivan’s election would be a rebuke to everyone of these influences. There is not an intelligent citizen, let his politics be what they may, but knows this to be the fact. Sullh’an’s nomination was made in the face of the most desperate work of those influences to prevent it. It thus became a certificate of reform. His election would be a statement of the determination that that reform is to be begun. It would be a sign that the people were set on taking their city affairs from the foul hands that have missused them in the interests of oarqupt politics. , « Mr. Blaine in his address before the International Congress said that “we should be drawn together more closety by the highways of the sea.” Why is not that closeness of relation by sea connection already accomplished? Why are we not now, and why have we not been for that last quarter of a century as closely connected with Brazil or Venezuela as we are with Great Britain or France? Well, it may be that if the result had depended on our own legislative wisdom we might be still as strange to Europe as to South America, but a wisdom wider than ours has entered into our affairs and Europe is a next door neighbor, while Sonth America and even the islands of the Gull are strangers In trade and only known to adventurous tourists. The traveler going to South America goes to England, and goes from there to the other half of America. Why is that, Mr. Blaine? It is to be hoped that among the wise and helpful things this PanAmerican Congress may do will be a little wholesome urgency against the ruinous restriction of our shipping and ship-build-ing laws. When Mr. DeRuiter “calls the attention of the Grand Jury” to Sim Coy’s management deiihrtroent, we suggest that he call its attention to his own management. We believe he will do it, too— when he calls its attention to Sim Coy I Nothing more disgraceful than the Coy pardon has occurred in city polities except the way in which Mr. DeRuiter has made a Coy annex and a money waster out of the Street Department. By his own story, it was an old trick of Coy’s to use the Street Department thus, and yet he did not know Coy was so using it under him till The News told him so. And then he didn't stop him I He said Coy was not using the city material. Then, driven into a corner, he acknowledged he was. He said he didn't know that three carloads of stone were shipped to him. Coy knew it, and got one of them. He has asked Coy to pay $35 for that stone. -Has he asked him to pay for the city’s gravel that he has likewise appropriated? Will he ask him? WD1 he get the money? Will he have him indicted before the Grand Jury? No he won’t! The whole thing is simply a piece of dirty politics—the Republican Street Department playing into thef hands of this Republican-pardoned Democratic convict, whom the Republicans want elected to office and whom their gang is tbas helping to elect

It is rumored that an experiment will be made with vesselsof the Boston and Atlanta type in carrying fresh water in the space between the outer and innerbottoms and then, if possible, use fresh water in the boilers only.

A monkey recently brought a criminal to

justice at Singapore. A native, with a little boy, a bear and a monkey, traveled through the Straits Settlement* and made a goodly sum of money by bis animals’ tricks. One day he was found with his throat cut, the boy and the bear lying dead close by, while the monkev had escaped up a tree. The bodies, with the monkey, were being taken to the police station when the monkey suddenly rushed at a man in the crowd, seized his leg and would not let go. The man

proved to be one of the murderers. “Comparatively few Australians,” re-

marks a Melbourne journal, “are aware that a part of their own country—the northern territory—has vast herds of wild buftalo roeming over its plains and wallowing in its shady pools. The animals are massive and heavy, with splendid horns, and afford sport of sufficiently dangerous a nature to possess charms for the most daring hunter. The first buffaloes were landed at Port Essington in 1829, by order of the Imperial Government, and, after sixty years’ uninterrupted increase, their numbers are now

astonishing.”

Paul Du Chaillu had an interesting time of it when addressing the British Association on the subject of his forthcoming book, “The Vikings, the Direct Ancestors of the English-speaking People.” The discussion that ensued produced considerable critical disagreement with Du Chaillu’s theory, and finally, after some earnest arguments, he concluded his remarks excitedly with: “Patriotism i* a splendid thing, but let us have truth. I belong to the other side of the water—America—and they would not accuse me of being one-sided

there.”

Byron Island, one of the Magdalen group on die Canadian coast, is stul held by a feudal tenure. The ancestor of one Cap tain Coffin received bv royal favor in the early times, when little value attached to the gift, a title to the whole domain. The landlord lives abroad and manages his estate by a resident agent. The rents are small and often uncollect&ble. Evictions arc not common, and there is no serious quarrel over the land question, but the fact that the occupants of the soil can not own their homes is a serious hindrance to enterprise and improvement in developing the resources of the island.

ly mangled almost beyond recognition. Ten or twelve other persons standing near the engine met their death in an instant. In one case at least the body was cut to pieces. The flying portions of the engine lighting over in the throng of people watching the races continued their work of destruction. A mother was struck down here, a father over there, a little child in another spot. Farther on a man lost one leg. another an arm, and so it went until a Bight sickening to behold was caused. The panic that ensued can never be anderstood except by those who felt its force. In a remarkably quick time, however, the dead and wounded were gathered together, placed in wagons and brought down town. The city of Indianapolis was never so excited and thoroughly aroused. The streets leading to the Fair Grounds were soon thronged with peo

step. The newspaper offices were crowi with eager seekers for news. The room of W. W. Weaver, the undertaker, who was then located Yvhere the Y. M. C. A. building now stands, whither the dead bodies were taken to await recognition, was besieged by a crowd itil midnight, and the Surgical Institul

days after the accident. The uumber of maimed was placed at about fifty. Many of these were cnpplid for life, and some died of their injuries after a few months of suffering. About thirty persons in all lost their lives by

;y pei

the accident.

Among the more prominent people killed by the explosion were P. M. Benson, of Ft. Wayne; Ignatius L. Rossiter, Indianapolis; John Wilson, who was with P. Layman & Co., this city: Myron B. McVey, Indianapolis; Peter Kreutzer, of Schmidt’s brewery; William Dunning, a Mr. Davis and P. L. Dean, also

of this city.

The week following the accident a local relief committee was organized and everything possible done to alleviate the suffering of the injured, and to relieve the wants of those thrown upon charity by the catastrophy. The need lor assistance became so great that Governor Ba'.'er issued a proclamation calling upon all the people of the State to contribute to the relief fund, and the commonwealth re-

sponded liberally to the call.

After the accident the practice of racing with machinery at the State Fair was abandoned, and ever since the utmost care has been taken by the State Board of Agriculture

to guard against similar accidents.

A Coroner’s jury made a thorough investigation of the accident, and in its verdict held that it resulted from the carelessness of the engineer in allowing the boiler of the engine to run dry. The owner of the eng'ne did everything possible to assist the iamilies of the dead and Injured. He spent much of a large fortune in relieving the distress occa-

sioned.

in six runs.

A picturesque play was made in this inning. Denny. Glasscock aud Bassett filled the bases when McGeacby made a double. Then Denny and Glasscock they crossed the piste, And Bassett came tumbling after. Riddle bad the ball when Bassett came in, but there was a confusion Of players about the home base and the latter stumbled over them, landing half a dozen feet away. Here were three prostrate Hoosier players.

The Score:

Menelik II, the new King of Abyssinia, is the son of a beggar woman who took his father’s fancy. He Is almost coal black, short and dumpy. Unlike his uncle, Ras Darghe, and others among his chief advisers, he is very friendly to Europeans and wants to introduce their arts into his country. He has a remarkable fondness for machinery and implements of all sorts, and bis greatest delight is to examine their mechanism. Explorers say he mined about a dozen watches and alarm clocks, taking them apart and trying to put them together again. He became at last, however, quite a proficient watch-tinker. One of the most important enterprises in Paris is the. Compressed Air Company, which distributes power throughout the city. It began with a pneumatic clock system about 1870. Thu business grew until there ore now about 8,000 pneumatic clocks, pubiio and private, driven from a station aboat four miles east of the Madeleine. The company distributes power for any purpose. There are about 350 motors, van-ingin power from one-eighth horse power to fifty hone power, for all aorta of purposes, all driven from the central station. The system used it that of Victor Popp, and it fa being extended with great
