CONCLUDED NOT TO CUTf*

.The scheme to cut the Salaries of the police and firemen, and discharge a numl»er from each fwrce, was not presented to $*' ihe council at last night's meeting. It jk was found that it would le a very difllft' cult matter to

the ordinance, and for

that reason the idea was abandoned. Cutting down salaries would not amount to §i much and would only lx» throwing a tub to the whale.

ENDED IN A DRAW.

A\ GAME BETWEEN THE LOTUS OLUQ AND THE NEVKRSWKATS—OUR OLUB OFF ON A TRIPBALL NOTES.

Tlie game between the Xeversweats and the lx»tus club at the park yesterday afternoon was of unusual interest owing to the loquaciousness of the participants. Each side thought they knew perfectly how a professional ball game should be played, and consequently there was much lively contesting of plays. It was agreed to play but five innings, but at the end of tlie*last inning the score was even, and another was played which resulted in tying again, each having made five runs and, owing to the lateness of the hour, the umpire decided the game a draw. Neither side was satisfied, and another game will probably be played next week. There was a large audience comjosed of friends of the players in the grand stand.

We are, lien-after, to have an usher to escort us to our seats at the ball psrk, Gabriel St. Clair having been appointed to that position.

Ladies will, hereafter, be charged ten cents admission to the grand stand, except on Tuesdays and Fridays, when they will be admitted free.

The police have accepted the challenge of the court bouse gang for a game of base 'hall. This is bravery, after the defeat of the city's by this trememlious team.

Harry T. Smith has been released from the management of the Danville club, and is now in no wav concerned with it.

The Clav Citys, having defeated the Belltowns, have challenged the Terre Hautes for a game. All clubs of such fame from surrounding townships desiring to play the Terre liautes are solicited to sernl challenges, which will be turned over to the Xeversweats.

Games yesterday: Philadelphia 7, Pittsburg 3 Columbus 4, Brooklyn ,*] Indianapolis 8, Boston Washington 8, Cleveland 1 Athletics 8, Baltimore 0 NewYork 10, Chicago 8.

Tlie Lafayette league club is a "goner, after four more games are played. The home club went to Pana, 111., this uiorping to play the club of that place to-diiv and next day. They will probablv Paris Fridav. Schneider remains at home. The club will be back by Sunday and on that day will probably play a return game with Pana.

SULLIVAN'S DOINGS IN THE SOUTH.

IT TS BELIEVED HK WILL ESOAPEWITH THE SLIGHT. EST PUNISHMKNT POSSIBLE FOR HIS OFFENSE. PI'KVIH, Miss., August 7.-&[Special,]—

The feeling through the state is in tavor of Sullivan in so far as the penalty of a fine is concerned, and every one appears to favor the fine without imprisonment. The general impression here is that the champion will not suffer imprisonment, or at any rate other than the minimum penalty, ten days in jail and a fine. During liis stay here Sullivan has drank considerable ale and beer, but was at no time under the influence of liquor, and he behaved himself well. He will remain in absolute retirement until his ease comes up Tuesday. After his release yesterday Sullivan and in party drove over to Richbun the champion having expressed a wish to visit the«cene of the recent battle. At Riehburg the party took an early train this morning for New, Orleans on the way to Pass Christian.

WASHINGTON, August "^Special.]— Congressman Allen, of Mississippi, in an interview on the arrest of Sullivan, says the Mississippi officials are determined to enforce the law there and show the fighters and others they will receive punishment in that state jiwt tlie same as elsewhere. IlelH'lieved if conviction follows Sullivan will receive the full penalty of the law, a $1,000 fine and a year's imprison mout. He has no doubt of conviction, unless some partisans get on the jury and prevent an agreement.

THE MAYOR WILU OROKR THE OOQS MUZZUO--BUSINESS OF MINOR IMPORTANOE TRANSAOTED.

Tlicconncilmanic potentates, assembled in the city building last night, were overflowing with hilarity, and even Mayor DltrnUdson seemed fu?l of fun. Therefore, the evening passed in tlio most harmonious and enjoyable manner possible, Close attention was paid to Clerk Duddlest on's essay entitled "The Minutes of Last Meeting," which was approved. Then the clerk glided rapidly over the bills, demonstrating the fact that he is a perfect marvel in rapid delivery'—an accomplishment much admired by the newspaper reporters, who are supposed to catch everything.

The street commissioners were insructed to clear gutters on both sides of Wabash livenue to Ninth street. The committee reported in favor Of improving Fifteenth street from Locust to First avenue, and the report was favorably acted upon, as was, also, a report recommending the improvement of the same street from Wabash avenue to Poplar street.

The committee on water submitted a recommendation that the water mains be extended on North Eighth street from Chestnut to LaFayette avenue.

At this report, Store launched a logical speech, which resulted in the reports', annihilation. He said that the Firat ward, comparatively, had too many plugs alreadv that north Eighth had ample water supply for fire protection and that the city should not lay out $4,000 when, as in this case, it was unnecessary.

The board of health submitted a report announcing that the public health of the citv was "never better, and then "went on to recommend the destruction of rank vegetation and to advise that certain grading be done to reduce the number of malaria-dissemi-nating pools here and there about the city. Report was laid to rest on that heavily-burdened thing, "the file."

Tlie special committee appointed to consider whether the E. & T. H. railroad has a right to lay its tracks across Poplar street, asked for and was granted more

A resolution was offered that lot No. 1, belonging to the city—the gravel pitshould be sold, and, after a pun by the mayor and several witty observations by others, the resolution was adopted

A resolution requiring street commissioner and property owners to cut down weeds and grass was adopted, as was also one looking to the drainage of stagnant

motion prevailed to require the street railway to gravel its tracks on Locust dtnwt.

Resolution carried to grade Thirteenth-and-a-half street from Oak to Crawford. The sidewalks on both sides of Third and Fourth streets from Main to Chestnut were ordered improved.

The mayor reminded the council of tlie mjul dog scare a day or two ago. He said that the dog which created the excitement on Mam street had bitten 23 or 24 dogs, and that therefore there was danger of tn outbreatfof rabid curs. He would like to he empowered to issue a proclamation to kill all dogs found at large on the streets without musales. Mr. Durham offered such resolution, and the same carried, unanimously.

A proposition to open Ross street from the river to Third street came up, and after consideration it was unanimously decided to meet August 22d for the purpose of assessing benefits and damages for the opening of said street.

J, .,

An ordinance was read providing that bill-posting should income a lost art in Terre Haute, that is prohibiting the posting of bills on telegraph polp, fcnt^, sidewalks or other available places within the limits of the city. A motion prevailed to lay the ordinance on the table.

An amendment to an ordinance aclojpted at a former time was read, which made it unlawful for street peddlers and itinerant dealers of all descriptions to vend their wares about the city without first having secured license—the ordinance not to affect gardeners or others who desired to peddle vegetables. By motion of Stow, the same was laid over for two weeks.

A family feud which convulsed the town for months culminated Saturday night in murder. Miss Yennie Spencer, a girl of sixteen, is the stepdaughter of Bose Wells. The girl was in love with a youth named Ben Knott, whose only recommendation was a handsome face and a plucky personality. Knott's attentions were opposed ny Wells, who encouraged an elder admirer named John Orton. Mrs. Henry Oliver is a sister of Mrs. Wells and championed the cause of young Knott. Tlie latter planned an elopement and the young lovers attempted to carry it out last week, but were pursued by Wells and brought back. Knott was beaten by. Wells and told that his life would be taken if lie fcver called on the girl again, henry Oliver and some friends "Sfrent to Wells' house for the purpose of taking the girl, but Wells had some friends at home ready for desperate work. Friday Wells summoned a minister and the man Orton, and before

she was'-'.married to Orton. This made Oliver and Knott mad. All parties met Saturday at a picnic, and Wells, without saying, a worn, shot Oliver dead. Mrs. Oliver tried to shoot Wells, but was disarmed. The whole township has taken sides in the case.

—A. H. Ki, Senator Sharon's Chinese body servant, is among the score of Celestials who are languishing on the Pacific mail steamer because they haven't merchants' certificates. Ki has returned here in the hope of getting more money from Francis Newlands, Sharon's son-in-law, who is chief trustee of the estate. Ki was faithful to Sharon's interest, and was one of the best witnesses for ihe senator in the divorce case. When Sharon died he left an injunction to Newlands to provide well for Ki, but not to give him too much cash at once, and Newlands gave Ki $4,000 in all ana he went for his home. He returned about eighteen months ago with a wife, and Newlands gave him a draft for $1,000 and paid the passage of Doth to China. Ki now says he built a house in Maco, but a hurricane destroyed it, and sickness in his family consumed all his money. He wants more and threatens to divultee dangerous secrets if he is not paid, There is no chance of Ki landing tmlesshe goes to Mexico and gets smuggled oter the border. He is a confirmed gambler. tAW SCHOOL FOR WOMEN.

AM EMINENT WOMAN'S PLANS FOR THE LEGAL EDUCATION OF HER 8EX.

Nuw YORK, August 7.—The latest thing for woipen exclusively is a law school tbat w^^e opened October 1 in this city. In it the students will have an opportunity to pursue a course of study which will enable them to profit by the amendment to the code of civil procedure passed by the legislature of 1886, under which women can gain admission to the bar under the same, conditions as men. The promoter of the plan is Emily Kempin, LL. D., a graduate of the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and the author of several legal works. Dr. Kempin has been in this country for a year or two and has gained a considerable reputation as an advocate of woman suffrage. Dr. Kempin does not expect, at least Jor a few years, to flood the city with bach-elors-at-law. She does not believe that the number of women who wish to study law as a profession is very great. Her main idea is a broader one. By exhaustive courses of lectures she desires to furnish women who make their own living with such necessary knowledge of law as will fit them to hofd positions of responsibility and trust, ana to qualify women for the management of their own affairs and the supervision of their agents.

Tinfi HUTTOX-ITOLK STRIKES A FLOW OF WATKlt I,ASU? NIttllT.

THE WELL WILL BE ABANDONED—THE CASINO ORDERED DRAWN AND A PLUO PUT IN THE HOLE.

The Button-Hole, on which interest has been centered for several days, is simply a complete failure. It is not a dry hole—is filled with water—but there is no oil there. A depth of seventeen hundred feet was reached last night, and the drillers quit work. This mOrning (100 feet of water was in the hole and blank despair settled on the faces of the stockholders. A meeting of the company was called, and the casing was ordered drawn and the hole plugged up. The contractor was paid off and the Button-Hole is but an unpleasant memory.

The Smith well is being reamed out. No progress has been made siiice the eroolced hole was encountered.

The Ellsworth gas well is now being let severely alone. The workmen patiently await the arrival of the packer, which jp to accomplish the good work of shutting off the water.

The Phoenix well seems destined to become a "gusher." The flow" to-day is steadier and stronger than ever before, and seems to be increasing. "You are still alive, Mr. Button?" "O, yes, there is nothing the matter with me. I would be perfectly willing to have every well I am connected with prove a failure if a number of the other wells strike. We have scarcely touched the fiejd yet. The little strip of a few degrees in which the drilling thus far lias been done must not be considered a test." "If the vein runs northwest I can quit the practice of medicine, buy a fine meerschaum pipe and smoke the best tobacco in the market," said Dr. B. F. Swafford. "I can very well afford to lose all I have invested if somebody else strikes. It is the real estate market that interests me. I am not at all discouraged," said W. A. Hamilton.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

OTTO MORRISON SWALLOWS MORPHINE, BUT HE WILL RECOVER.

Otto Morrison, residing on North Fourteenth street between Chestnut and Eagle, took morphine about noon' for the purpose of committing suicide. He swallowed the drug and, stepping to the fence, informed a neighbor, Mrs. McNutt, what he had done. He handed her thq paper, saying he did not wish any suspicion to rest on any one in the event of fatal results. Dr. McLean was called and administered antidotes. This afternoon the physician charge pronounced his patient out of danger. A sufficient quantity of the drag had not been taken to terminate with fatal results. Morrison is a brother of ex-City Marshal Morrison. He is an employe of the E. & T. H. and has always been regarded as a straightforward industrious man. His strange act can scarcely be accounted for, unless he was suffering from temporary depression of spirits, lie has a wife and three children.

TERRE HAUTE WHEELMEN.

Frank Ball has gone to Mattoon on liis bicycle. A crowd of wheelmen will probably go to Clinton next Sunday.

Every wheelman in the city is expected to be at the High school building Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock to join in a tour of the city on the 'cycle.

The following boys were out on a moonlight ride to Ellsworth last night: Ernst Meisel, E. Langen, Otto Iiornung, Jake Jackson, Jake Stark and Al. Murphy.

Three of our bicyclists started for Cincinnati Sunday: Probst, Gundlefinger and Bernheimer. Six boys accompanied them asi far as Brazil, and one, Anton Hulman, went as far as Greencastle. Fisbeck, Cook and Murphy went as far as Harmony

Bicvcling, for some little time, has been allowed to subside into "innocuous desuetude," but just now the l»oys are livening up and the prospects for a general revival in the sport are good. The representative wheelmen are at present negotiating with the base ball park people, looking to the ^^-.establishment of a track in an oblong shape around the diamond, with the home stretch directly in front of the grand stand and running from southwest to northeast. A scheme of this kind was put on foot about three weeks ago, but the park owners were exorbitant in their demands for rental, and the project was temporarily abandoned. Now the park owners are offering somewhat of a concession, and it is possible that- the track will be put in. A meeting of the bicyclists to decide upon the question occurs in the near future.
