The Gentlemens' Literary Club, Indianapolis, black-balled Gov. Mount a few days since when his name was presented for membership. The Governor, it is stated, was not seeking membership and his name was presented without hiB knowledge. One reason whispered about is that he is a farmer, and the highly cultured aesthetic souls composing the bulk of the membership regarded the club as no place for an agriculturist. Others are inclined to think that perhaps members of his own party, displeased over the independent manner in which he has kicked aside the party machine in making appointments to his likiDg, took this method of revenge.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE

Robb's Grocery Store, Dunn's Drug Store and Other Business Places

Adjoining Ruined, or Very Badly Damaged.

Near the hour of three o'clock on Wednesday morning, repeated ringing of the fire bell gave notice of a conflagration under way at that time on South Washington street in the rear part of Robb's grocery store. It was at once Been that the entire block was endangered, and hose were stretched and three streams began to play upon the flames which began to spread to the adjoining rooms. Within an an hour the fire was under control but not until it had damaged the building and stocks of goods to an amount probably of 815,000. The Btock of groceries of Wm. Robb, amounting in value to $4,800 or $5,000. was wiped out completely. Upon the Btock he had an insurance of $4,000, Dunns' drug store, the room adjoining on the south, was badly damaged by Water and breaknge of glass fixtures, his loss being probably from $500 to $800. Joe Fisher's Btock and the room in which it was located was injured greatly by water. The director's room in the rear of the business room of the First National Bank received a copious supply of water from over head, ruining the paper on the ceiling and walls. The picture gallery of Mr. Champion, in the second story over the bank, was completely wiped out, the work finished and unfinished, together with the stock on hand being rendered useless by water. A camera, stove and a few picture frames only were saved. He carried an insurance of $500 on his stock, which will enable him to resume business soon again. Frank Smith was located over Robb's grecery store, and he carried a small stock of piece goods and trimmings of the value of near $500. This is all ruined and he carried no insurance. 'Squire Stilwell had his office over Dunns' drug store. His loss is about S100. He has opened his office on the east side of south Washington street. The room in which Robb was located will have to be to a great extentjentirely rebuilt. The three rooms where the lire was most destructive are owned by Con Cunningham, of Indianapolis, and his loss roughly estimated is about 86,000 upon wbich there an insurance. The fire company was prompt and efficient, and their work prevented further loss of adjoining property.

Dr. Burrough's Lecturing Tour. Dr. Burroughs has been lecturing at many points through Indiana during the past two weeks, his subjects generally relating to education. He takes tho ground, and very many are with him, that State institutions such as Bloomington, Purdue and the State formal, have been fed and pampered too much, that in later years they and their friends seem to have become too dictatorial and are asking and seeking ontirely too much from the commonwealth. The aggitation of the subject before the legislature the past winter was timely and it is quite probable that State educational institutions will hereafter have to stand more on their intrinsic merit for success than by immense appropriations from the State treasury. It they cannet do this they should put up their shutters and go out of business.

Bound Over.

Charles Skelton, arrested near RusQ sfllville a few days ago, on charge of stealing turkeys from a farmer in Brown township, Borne months since, bad a preliminary hearing before Mayor Stilwell and was placed under bond in the sum of $500 for his future appaarance at court. Another young man named Harry Miles has also been arrested for his connection with the affair, He acknowledges hie complicity in the crime, says they sold turkeys to Zuck, the poultry man, receiving$23 for them. The chances for both Miles and Skelton for a sojourn at the Jeffersonville prison are indeed encouraging.

A Well Paid Auctioneer. Tude Hamilton receives about $90 per week as an auctioneer for his services in sellipg horses two days of the week, at Indianapolis, and sales in many parts of this and adjoining counties. He is considered one of the best auctioneers in the West, and is now sensibly saving his money.

Directors Meet.

The directors of the county fair association met at the small court room on Saturday last. Some changes in the premium list were made, a new one in the swine department being added. A revision also was made in the premium list in the ladies department.

FINANCIAL DISTRESS

Seems to be the Condition "Lucky"

is in Just No#.

Whenever "Lucky" Baldwin visits Crawfordsville, which is generally about twice a year, he is stared at by the multitude as the great Cftliforina millionaire, and fabulous reports are told of the supposed many milliobs of dollars he is worth. He may be very rich, but just now seems to be in a financial muddle that will take much of his wealth to pull hica out of. A San Fran cisco dispatch last week said: "The Hibernia Bank has put on record a mortgage given by E. J. Baldwin for 885,000, covering the Baldwin Hotel property and annex, his home in California street near Jones, resident property in Webster street near Fell, business property Stevenson street, business property in Los Angeles and ranches in Los Angeles county. The indebtedness is payable in one year, and bears per cent, interest per annum. In addition to the mortgage, the bank died an assignment from Baldwin for the rent and all other income from his business property, to secure the payment of interest on several loans which have been made to him. His total indebtedness to the bank as represented by the mortgages now aggregates $1,670,000.

When questioned regarding the new loan last night, Baldwin said: "I have borrowed the money to pay other obligations, preferring to borrow rather than sell any property during the present depression in prices. There is no foundation for the rumor that I am in danger of bankruptcy. I have enough unincumbered property left on which I might borrow a million or two if necessary. The passage of protective tariff will make all of my enterprises pay, and make it easy for me to pay all I owe."
