Weekly Established in 1823.,

NO LICENSE BUT MORE TAX.

The City Council Refuses to Pass the Saloon License Ordinance.

THE SEWER TAX RATE INCREASED THREE GENTS

tnd the Sewer Fund Turned Over to the General Fund as is the Cemetery Fund.

The city council held a short session last night compared with previous sessions, and transacted considerable business. The water works company notified the city through their attorney, Judge Jump, that all rentals from the city for water plugs used by the fire department in case of fires would be collected by the Illinois Trust & Savings bank of Chicago, to which bank the water works company had transferred the rentals, to secure the payment of interest on 144,000 borrowed from the bank.

Mr. Katzenbach petitioned the council to compel Mr. Thomas, of C16 north Eighth street, to abate a nuisance, the nuisance being a stovepipe that protrudes through the wall of Mr. Thomas'residence. The city attorney gave an opinion stating that the city had no right to interfere with nuisances that might arise on private property that many citizens had been troubling the city in this particular, attempting to get the city to prosecute suits that were of a private nature. The resolution was referred to the committee on public improvements, in whose hands it was weeks ago, and which committee made a favorable report at that time. A remonstrance' was presented against the improvement of Gilbert avenue between Poplar and Orchard streets and the remonstrance granted, the property owners claiming that the improvement would be a heavy expense upon them and of no benefit.

The finance committe was called upon for a report but said they had nothing to report. The loan of $50,000 authorized by the council several meetings ago has not yet been made. A resolution was adopted authorizing the fencing of the city's gravel pit, near West Terre Haute under the supervision of the committee on streets and bridges and the street commissioner. The committee on ways and means reported favorably upon an ordinance authorizing any person or company to pipe oil or gas through the city and which ordinance had been referred to them at the last meeting. The report was adopted, but when the_ ordinance was read, later in the evening, it was defeated. The city engineer was authorized to advertise for bids for the building of a sewer on Thirteenth street from Tippecanoe street to Locust street, the bids to be opened at the meeting to be held August the 6th.

The council was about to pass from the reports of committees when Mr. llertwig called for a report from o|apecial committee appointed at the last meeting to ascertain what tracks of the E. & T. H. railway company, now in use across Poplar street, had been authorized by the city. Mr. Donham reported for the committee that they had not had time t) look up the matter. The committee consisted of the city engineer, city clerk, city marshal and committee on streets and bridges. An ordinance authorizing the Union Oil & Gas company—the 'Exchange"—to pipe oil and gas through the streets was adopted, an emergency clause was attached on the ground that the company was ready te penetrate the oil-bearing sand and was in immediate need of the privilege to pipe the oil, of which they had obtained unmistakable traces.

An ordinance to compel the Baloons to pay a city license was tabled on motion of Mr. Storz, seconded by Mr. Weldele, by the following vote: Yeas, Hertwig, Hybarger, Steeg, Storz, Thomas and Weldele nays, Burnes, Donham, Steele, and Walsh. An effort was made to refer the ordinance to the judiciary committee but the motion to table prevented the vote. The following is the ordinance: An ordinance providing for licensing the sale, bartering or giving away of spirituous, vinous or malt ltciuors providing the manner of Issuing tlie same and tixlng a penalty for the violation of the provisions thereof.

An ordinance to fix the tax rate for the preeent year was adopted. The only change made in the rate of last year was to increase the sewer fund rate from two cents to five cents on the $100.

The raise on the

Eewer

fund rate was

objected to, and Mr. Hertwig moved to make the rate the same as it was last year. The vote was a tie, Messrs. Burnes, Donham, Steele, Storz and Thomas favoring the increase Messrs. Hertwig, Hybarger, Steeg, Walsh and Weldele favoring the old rate. Mayor Danaldson cast his vote in favor of the increase, remarking that he would like to see a sewer fund.

Mr. Burnes introduced a resolution to reduce the salaries of city officers and to fix the following salaries, the resolution instructing the city attorney to draw up an ordinance accordingly. Mayor, per year... $1,200 Treasurer, per year 2,500 Clerk, per year 1.2' 0 Superintendent police, per month 75 Chief fire department, per month 75 Patrolmen, per month 50 Plpemen and drivers, per month 50 City engineer, per year 1,320

The resolution recited the fact that the financial condition of the city urged the necessity of such a measure. The vote on the adoption of the resolution was: Aees, Burnes, Donham, Steele, Walsh and Weldele nee', Hertwig, Hybarger, Steeg, Storz and Thomas. The vote being a tie the mayor voted against the resolution. When the resolution was introduced Mayor Danaldson remarked that the rojolution was out of order because the salaries had been fixed at the beginning of the fiscal year. He also added that if the resolution should prevail he would be the first to accept it at the beginning of the next fiscal year, when the resolution would take effect.

A resolution to repeal the cow ordinance was referred to the sanitary committee by the mayor's casting vote.

The committee on finance reported in favor of transfering $12,000 from the sewer fund and $5,000 from the cemetery fund to the general fund to meet city expenses. The resolution was adopted after some wrangling as to the legality of the transfer. This will place $17,000 in the city's general fund for immediate use. A resolution authorizing the city marshal to collect $15 from the telephone company that was due to the city was adopted.

REFEREE FIT/PATRICK'S ADVICE.

He Thinks It the Wiser Flan for All Persons to Surrender. NEW ORLEANS, July *16.—John Fitz-

patrick, referee of the Sullivan-Kilrain fight, to dayftelegraphed to Stakeholder Cridge, at New York, to pay over the money to the Sullivan party.

Fitzpatrick, Pat Duffy and others will go to Purvis and appear Thursday and give bail for their ak ^warance to answer at the November term sf court for aiding or abetting the recent prize fight. Mr. Fitzpatrick states that the meeting yesterday at Jackson between Governor Lowry and himself was of a cordial character, he being received in the most pleasant manner, and with the kindest consideration. The governor expressed himself as determined to bring all the offenders to justice, sooner or later and he congratulated Mr. Fitzpatrick on the good course and discretion displayed by him in thus surrendering into the hands of the authorities of an offended state. Mr. Fitzpatrick says there is no doubt as to Governor Lowry's earnestness in the matter and he thinks the wiser and safer plan for all concerned would be to follow his example, viz.: Surrender to the authorities of Mississippi and thereby avoid all future annoyance and the complications which are apt to arise from the issuance of extradition papers, etfi.

That Letter to Mrs. Kilrain. CHICAGO, July 16.—Inquiry was made

to-day at Parson Davies' place in regard to the identity of the man who, over the name "Henry Hudson," wrote to Jake Kilrain's wife, telling her that he had overheard Mitchell telling another man before the fight that Sullivan would win. In the absence of the parson his representative said that he knew every man who went from Chicago to New Orleans at the time of the fight and that no man by the name of Hudson was among them. The man was either writing under a false name or playing what he conceived to be a joke.

Kilrain in New York.

NEW YORK, July 16.—Wm. E. Harding, Richard K. Fox's representative, said this morning that he believed that Kilrain had arrived in town about 8 o'clock this morning, and was quietly quartered at Stroub's place in Harlem, N. Y., together with Charlie Mitchell, Mrs. Mitchell and Pony Moore. Stakeholder Cridge has not yet received an official decision in writing from the referee, Fitzpatrick, but the document is expected by to-night. In the event of its arrival, Sullivan and Kilrain will be notified, and the Btakes will be paid over to Sullivan's representatives.

A Redaction in Anthracite Rates, i. PHILADELPHIA, July 16.—The Penn­

PARNELL PEOPLE TAKE LEAVE

The Commission Left to Do the Best It Can Without Them.

BOULANGER AND HIS PALS INDICTED ON SERIOUS CHARGES.

Jack, tbe Ripper, Again Does His Awful Work—General For"ntf eign News.

LONDON, July 16.—Upon the opening of the Parnell commission this morning. Sir Charles Russell, counsel for Mr. Parnell, arose and addressing the court, stated that after full consideration of the situation, Mr. Parnell had instructed him and Mr. Asquith, also of counsel, to no longer represent him before the commission. In reply to Sir Charles' statement, which virtually was a notification that Mr. Parnell declined to make any further presentation of his case before the commiesion, Presiding Justice Hannan said: "Mr. Parnell will, of course, remain subject to the jurisdiction ot the court."

Messrs. Reid and Liockwood, counsel for other members of parliament against whom charges were made by the Times, then also with drew from the case.

Mr. Parnell made a personal application to the court, asking that if there were any design to further examine him such examination be proceeded with without delay. He complained of At-torney-General Webster's actions in postponing for three months his re-exam-ination on the subject of the checks drawn by Mr. Parnell. The court, Mr. Parnell declared, ought to appoint a day for his re-examination or else discharge him from further attendance. Presiding Justice Hannan promised to try to meet the convenience of Mt. Parnell by recalling him on Thursday.

After council for Mr. Parnell and the other members of parliament had retired, Presiding Justice Hannan said that the scope of the inquiry would not be altered by their action. The persons hitherto represented by counsel could appear in their own defense if they desired. The taking of testimony was then resumed.

Mr. James O. Kelly, member of the house of commons for North Roscommon, was called. He declared that he had no statement to make. On cross examination he admitted that he was a member of the Irish Republican brotherhood from 1866 to 1S70. In 1871 an attempt to arrest him was made when, he was leaving Ireland under the came of John Smith. Letters were found in his luggage from an agent who was shipping arms to Ireland.

Sir Henry James, counsel for the Times, produced several letters written by Mr. Kelly, partly invisible, in which reference was made to the shipment of arms and the doing of the Fenians. One of the letters referring to a remittance of $21,500 from America contained a passage reading: "We are ready to take the field when the proper orders are issued to the regimental commanders." The witness admitted that the letters were authentic. While witness was in America he joined the Clan-na-Gael. This organization sent him to Ireland as a military officer to reorganize the men. He received $9,000 towards his expenses. He did not affect the object of his mission, finding that the agents in Ireland declined to co-op-erate with him.

He therefore considered his mission ended and went to France. He sent his resignation to America and returned $8,000. Since that time he had had no connection with the Clan-na-Gael or the Fenians. During his career in parliament he had received no money from America. He denied spending $10,000 entrusted to him for election purposes.

Mr. Matthew Harris, member of the house of commons for East Galway, testified that he joined the Fenians in 1865. The death penalty to traitors was not an essential feature of the Fen'an constitution. Mr. Harris instanced the case of the informer, Kickham, and said that the society after discussion decided that he should not be shot.

Presiding Justice Hannan—The fact that there was

Buch

a discussion implies

much. Continuing the witness said that the Fenian council of 1881 was held in Paris for the sake of security. Mr Davitt had been arrested, and they did not know whose turn it would be next. It was therefore thought best to meet out of Ireland. He admitted saying in a speech that he did not go about from platform to platform caterwauling over the death of Lord Frederick Cavendish. His language was used in the heat of controversy and was not meant to justify murder. He had qualified the speech made by him in which he said he would not mind seeing landlords shot down like partridges.

DUBLIN, July 16.—Timothy Haley, M. P., presiding at a meeting of the National league to-day, declared that the withdrawal of Mr. Parnell and his colleagues from the commission court would greatly please the Irish people both at home and abroad. For the report of the commission the Parnellites did not care a rush. Regarding the tenant's defense league, he said there was nothing new in the movement but it would put new life and vigor into the old movement.

The Times in a leading article to-day sincerely thankB Sir Charles Russell and the others for their assistance in the commission court. It says it is heartily glad that they did not retire earlier and cannot understand why they retire now that the case is almost concluded. It states that the Irish loyal and patriotic union had nothing whatever to do with the charges of the Times, and that they were made entirely on the paper's own responsibility.

Bonlanger's Plot.

PARIS, July 16.—The Temps says that cipher telegrams have been discovered which prove that General Boulanger was at the head of a plot to march upon the Elysee palace and that several officers of high rank had promised him their support. The Tempe further says that the charge ot embezzlement against Boulanger relate to the purchase of camp bedsteads and other supplies for the troope and to malversation of the funds of the war ministry. Among otlfer charges it says the general is accused ot using the funds of the war ministry to buy shares in the military club, and of keep­

ing the shares thus bought in his own possession. M. De Freycinef, minister of war, has ordered that Colonel Vinoent be plaoed under arreet for thirty days for publishing the evidence given in the senate court in the case of General Boulanger.

A copy of the indictment found against General Boulanger was formally delivered at his residence here to-day. Several papers will publish the text of the indictment to-morrow, although by so-doing they will render themselves liable to a legal penalty.

General Boulanger, M. Rochefort anil Count Dillon are summoned to appear within ten days. It they do not appear within twenty days they will be declared outlaws and their property will be confiscated until they surrender. It is stated that the trial has been fixed for August 10th. The judgment will be final, no appeal being allowed. The indictment charges the accused with in stigating tbe issue of manifestos against the government in Juf!y, 1887, at Lyons and Paris, and in December, 1887, in Paris.

A Letter from the Pope.

MONTREAL, July 16.—Pope Leo XIII has sent an autograph letter to the authorities of Laval university thanking them and the citizens of Quebec for the resolutions adopted by them at the demonstration on April 28 last in favor of the restoration of the temporal power of the pope.

His holiness congratulates them not only upon their prudence, but upon the Bagacity of their action, and says it is evident they well understand how the impunity enjoyed by the enemies of the church is the Bource of improprieties in human society and of troublee to the state.

Mr. Chamberlain in offering a toast to Mr. and Mrs. Kendall, bespoke for them from his American kinsman a gratifying receptioq, promising in return a presentation of characters of the highest artistic merit known on the English stage. Mrs. Kendall, in acknowledging a present of a splendid diamond star, expressed herself as sanguine of the result of the venture. The Americans having exalted canons of artistic taste, combined with kindliness towardB artists.

Affairs of the Loyal and Patriotic Union. LONDON, July 16.—Mr. T. W. Russell,

Unionist member of parliament, in an interview to-day declared that the only reason for opposing an inspection of the affairs of the Liyal and Patriotic union was the fact that hundreds of persons had subscribed to the movement under a pledge of secrecy. He said that Houston, the secretary of the union, asked hitp, in 1887, whether a letter which he had shown him was in the handwriting of a certain Parnellite member of parliament. He replied that he thought not and after that neither he himself nor the other members of the committee of the union to his knowledge knew anything about the matter until a fac eimile of the letter was published. In November, 1888, he cautioned Houston against having dealings with Pigott, of whom he had never heard any good.

No Federation of Knglish Colonies. LONDON, July 16.—Lord Salisbury, in a

speech at Mile End to-night, told his hearers that they must not expect the day would ever come when the colonies would become a federation in the same sense as the United States, but he hoped that by a common agreement the present difficulties would be removed. Regarding Irish affairs he said it was appalling to think that years hence their sons and grandsons might still be discussing the Irish problem, with nothing new to say on the subject. ....

IDE PRESIDENTS PUNS.

He Will Make Deer Park His Plaee of Residence for the Summer.

THE CABINET MINISTERS WILL MEET WITH HIM THERE.

An Office Building at tbe White House Recommended—Washington Notes,

WASHINGTON, July 16.—It is said at the White house that the president will return to Washington to-morrow, but will go to Deer Park again on Friday or Saturday. A meeting of the cabinet will be held at the White house to-mor-row, but at what hour cannot be stated, as the exact time of the president's arrival is not known. The indications are however, that it will not be held till late in the afternoon or in the evening. Private Secretary Halford, who was in charge of the White house to-day'said that the president has not yet mapped out his plans for the summer, but will undoubtedly do so to-mor-row or the next day. The pifesident is very well pleased with Deer Park and no longer looks with favor upon the original plan of railroad trips to and from Washington once a week, especially as he feels that the administration of public affairs for tbe next few weeks can be conducted at Deer Park with far more satisfaction than at Washington. Mr. Halford said further that there appeared to be no particular necessity at present for stated meetings of the cabinet, and if occasion arose* they eould be held at Deer Park just as well as Washington. It is more likely, however, that the president will take up the business of each department separately, in which event the individual members of the cabinet would visit Deer Park whenever their presence was desired. It would, therefore, appear that while the matter is still undetermined, the president will probably establish his official headquarters at Deer Park for the Bummer. During the president's absence the White house is undergoing its usual summer renovation.

An Office Baiiding for the President. WASHINGTON, July 15.—Colonel John

M. Wilson, commissioner of public buildings and grounds, in his annual report to the chief of engineers recommends that an offije building be erected fir the use of the preeident just west of the White house, and where tbe greenhouse and conservatory now stand. The latter, he says, might be built east of the White house, and .between it and the treasury building. It is believed the time has come when the chief magistrate of the country Bhould no longer be obliged to have his private residence anc his office under the same roof. The president, the report says, is entitled to the same privacy in his home life as the humblest citizen. It is recommended that the White house stables be removed from their present location to a site to be purchased on the other side of Seventeenth street and further away

Andrew E. Wllllams.Nlnth Texas district (Maysfield), (T. B. Perkins. Sixth Kentucky district (Covington), and W. O Wolff, First Colorado district (Madison), have been appointed cadets at the military academy.

General Schofleld left for New York, where he will attend a meeting of the board of fortifications and ordnance, of which be Is a member. Tbe board usually holds Its meetings In Washington, but at this time there are certain works In progress that render it advisable for the members to go to Sandy Hook, where numerous experiments are to be made. The pneumatic dynamite gun, now under constrnction for the government, will be Inspected.

The construction bureau of the navy department has completed tbe new detailed drawing for the new 2,000-ton cruisers, 9,10 and 11. A noticeable feature of the internal arrangements and one which will be peculiarly acceptable to the younger officers who are assigned to the vessel Is the transfer or the ward room quarters for the juniors from tbe small cramped space where they are usually located, making the Junior ofllcers' quarters as comfortable as those formerly enjoyed by the captain of a ship.

Becent dispatches from the Indian Territory state that the Cherokee cattle company have offered to lease the lands of the Cherokee strip from tbe Indians for a term of years at a large rental. It further Btated that it Is probable that the company will eventually buy the lands from the Indians. The commission recently appointed by the president to negotiate with the Indians for the purchase of these lands for the government with a view of their being ultimately thrown open to public settlement are about to begin their labors and it Is the opinion of the Interior department officials that these offers, alleged to have been made by the cattle company are evidently Intended to embarrass the commission In Its work. If the interests of private parties conflict with those of the government, tbe former. Secretary Noble says, must cercalnly be put to one side. $

THE "GOGEBIC IKON KING" FAILS.

He Grew Wealthy Daring the Mining

Cms*—Liabilities

S[r.

of $825,000.

'MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 16.—A special from Elkhorn to-night, announces that John E. Burton, known as the "Gogebic Iron King" during the mining craze two yean ago, has made an assignment to Gage E. Tarbell, of Milwaukee. The liabilities are stated to be about $825,000 and the Central Trust company, of New Fork, whoee claim is $350,000 is the largest creditor. The suit involving the legality and justice of this claim, which is disputed, is now pending before the su-

reme court. The second claim against Burton amounts to about six hundred thousand dollars and there is no prospect that there will be anything left to pay the unsecured claims, the assets being stated to be about eeven hundred and one thousand dollars, including $600,000 in real eetate and $100,000 in in personal property. The real estate consists of property in Lake Geneva valued at $300,000 a business block in Chicago valued at $200,000, and property in Hurley and other places valued at $100,000. Besides this, there is stated to be $100,000 personal property, consifting of mortgages, notes, stocks, etc. There are no preferred creditors. Mr. Burton says that he has been so harrassed by creditors that he waB forced to assign. He said to night: "Nearly one hundred suits have been brought against me in eighteen months and my credit ruined ana my property depreciated and slaughtered from $2,200,000 to less than one million dollars, and in nearly all cases it was wholly unnecessary."

Sunday morning, when the Emery was about seventy miles off Highland light, the missing men set out in dories to tend their trawls. The weather was very thick and the fog became so heavy as to shut out all sight of them from tbe vessel. Saarch was kept up until Monday afternoon, fog horns being blown and as much noise being made as possible to attract their attention, but nothing could be seen or heard of the men. The captain is nearly distracted over the loss of the men. He thinks they have been picked up by a passing vessel, as fishing vessels were numerous at the point where they were lost.

In her complaint against him she said that Bhe bad known him and had done his washing for about three years, and that he had insisted upon her marrying him that he went to her house yesterday morning and threatened to kill her and that he had told her on previous occasions that he would kill her unless she married him. Ezra was committed to jail but not until after a lively scramble in Justice Thomas' court room, in which he and Constable Hogan were the principals. Ezra had tried to reach Mrs. Frantz while threatening her. but -A^s prevented by the constable. While Constable Hogan was taking him to jail the prisoner suddenly snatched the constable's cane from him and struck him on the head and escaped. The police rallied to the constable's support and rearrested Ezra. Later in the day the woman filed a statement saying that Ezra was, in her opinion, insane, that she had heard him say that he was Jesus Christ on earth, had heard him speak of seeing spirits, some of which were spirits of Indians that had come to fight and that she had been afraid to quit washing for him because she feared that he would kill her. Ezra is a laborer about one of tbe hotels on south Third street, near Poplar street, and has been known as a spiritualist for some years and has held communication with the spirits. This was some of the evidence in insanity proceeding against Exra. The proceedings were not completed. Justices Felsenthal and Wildy are hearing the evidence.
