The Minneapolis Twine Binder Replacing Other Machines, and Giving Entire Satisfaction to Everybody. A LETTER THAT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. The following letter, written by E. L. Floyd, of the firm of Floyd & Buell, St. Paul, Inrt., is from a gentleman whose integrity is unquestioned, and whose statements are beyond dispute: “Sr. Paul, lutl.. July 11, 1883. “Mr. Peter Mill, Indianapolis, lud.: “Dear Sir—We have just closed the third season fr the Minneapolis Harvester in southeastern Indiana. We have sold lu the three years 135 machines, and not one has failed to give entire satisfaction. The last few days ot the present harvest we put Minneapolis in place of one Deerlng, two Buckeye low-downs, six MaishWlntney iow downs, and if the railroads had delivered machines in time, could have replaced three more Buckeye low-downs and more MarshWliitneys. We have replaced a number of Woods <& Esterly’s Champion and Buckeye elevators, and in our Territory uot a single Minneapolis has ever been replaced, nor has a .■'ingle purchaser of any of the 135 sold ever doubted but that he had the best machine offered to the trade. This ree nrd of the Minneapolis is a wonderful success. Perhaps no other machine can stand before the farmer so much praised by all and condemned by none. Yours, etc., (Signed,) “Floyd & Buell.” A Welcome Announcement. That obscene sheer, the Iconoclast, which for the past five weeks lias reeked with the foulest filth is not likely to appear to-morrow. The editors and publishers, Lamoster and Weaver have grown bolder and more reckless in their obscenity from week to week, owing to the strange and unpardonable inaction of the authorities and the eotuhig number was intended tube viler than any of its predecessors. The compoaiiion and press work has to this tunc been dune at the job printing establishment of O. 11. Hasseluiau. This week’s number was well under way when the attention of Granville Cox. Mr. Hasselman’s book-keeper (Mr. Hasselman has been absent for three weeks in New York) was called to the tratter that was in the bands of the compositors and which was so unutterably vile mat lie refused to go ou with iis publication. The owners of the paper say that It will go on in spite of this backset ar<l if they can tin*i no one i.o print it here they will i**ve the work done, in either Cincinnati or Louisville, ship the papers here and sell them to the newsboys as heretofore. It does seem as if this community could in some way be protected from this pernicious and depraving literature.

THE DAY’S RAILWAY NEWS Intimation that Fast-Bound Rates Are To Be Reduced. Prospects that Madison, Ind., Will Have Another Railroad—The Latest Regarding the O. & M. THE TRUNK LINES. The Sharp Competition of the New Roads Worrying the Older Truuk Lines. The older trunk lines out of Chicago are said to be considerably disturbed over the large business the Grand Trunk, the Chicago <fe Allantic, and Chicago, St, Louis & Pittsburg, and The Nickel-plate are doing east from that point, and are said to he endeavoring to impress upon Commissioner Fink’s mind the idea that the new lines are cutting rates to secure the business, and the older lines are now asking Commissioner Fins to reduce east-bound rates from all Western railroad centers five cents per 100 pounds that they may get a better show at the business. It is charged that the new lines are doing This heavy business (largely in excess of the proportion allowed them by the pool) for rhe purpose of forcing the pooled lines to allow them a larger percentage of the eastbound business. The managements of the old roads allege that shippers do not abandon old roads unless some special inducements are offered. While it ih highly probable that the troubles will he settled without a railroad war, rates are likely to be reduced to please the old linos and give them a chance to show a heavier tonnage. A five-ceut reduction would bring rates down to tin* actual cost ot transportation, and it is thought the new lines would he the greatest sufferers, ami in the end would urge an advance in tales aud be willing to maintain them thereafter. AN OLD PROJECT REVIVED. Madison, Ind , to Have a More Direct Route t Cincinnati. A movement Is now ou foot to build a road from Madison, lud.,on the north bank of the Ohio river, as near by as practicable, to Lawrencelmrg, Ind., then use the Ciuciuuati, Indianapolis, Bt. Louis Sc Chicago road to gain entrance into Cincinnati. Some three years ago there was a talk of building a narrow gauge road between Madison and Cincinnati, but the scheme e nded in talk, although a portion of the line was surveyed. The parties who now propose to build a standard gauge from Madison to Lawrenceburg will, if they build the road, use the liue then surveyed largely, and by connecting with the C., 1., St. L. Sc C at Lawrenceburg will save the heavy expense of getting into Cincinnati and of terminal facilities at thai point. It is stated that M. E Ingalls is encouraging the enterprise, and will be one of sixteen capitalists to furnish the money to build the road. Doubtless, should the toad be built to Madison, it will lie extended on the north side of the river to Jeffersonville, and theu use the bridge to cross over to Louisville, Kv. Parties interested in the enterprise have confered with prominent citizens at Madison aud other points on the proposed line, and it is found that the right of way can be secured at a small expense, aud liberal subsidies will be given. A MATTER OF SURPRISE. Merchants Giving the H. & O. New York Extension a Cold Shoulder. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company’s new Independent line to New York seems, strangely enough, to be contemplated with u great deal of alarm by many of the Baltimore merchants, ns shown by interviews which have recently appeared in the Baltimore papers. Just why this should be so it is difficult to determine in these days when additional railway facilities are so eagerly gougbt by all business centers. Too great conservatism is as great a commercial vice as the reverse- The Baltimore business men appear to fear that an Independent outlet for the B. & O. to New York will bavo a tendency to “sidetrack” thut city; whereas, it seems most reasonable to couclude that Its effect would be the very reverse. With an independent line to New York, offering the advantage to its patrons of either terminus at Hie agreed rates, the difference still being in favor of Baltimore, if Baltimore merchants lose their business it will be solely because of that astonishing lack of enterprise which discourages rather than encourages competitive lines of railway. Precisely the same differential rates that obtain now can obtain then in favor of Baltimore, and when differential rates shall, as they may and most likely will, be turned against Baltimore by the more advantageous locatlou of such lines as that of the Chesapeake Sc Ohio railway, or when other factors than mere distance shall enter into the calculations ot what these differences should be, Baltimore will still, in respect of her .Northern competitors, be in position to exact her share of the traffic; for the differences in her favor as against them are unalterable. It is unreasonable to believe that the management of tin Baltimore Sc Ohio railroad, whose wisdom planned aud whose enterprise planted the extensive docks, elevators, canal wharves, tobacco warehouses and steamship lines at Baltimore, and whose field is still extending there, is sit this late day undertaking a work that will render all this property valueless. THE FUTURE OF THE O & M. Will the B. & O. or the Erie Get Control of the Property? Mention was made in the Journal a short time since that the Erie people were quietl3* working to get control of the Ohio Sc Mississippi road, and there was a possibility thut the old fogy Baltimore Sc Ohio management would he out-geuer-aled. In speaking of this matter Ihe Boston Advertiser says: “It has been intimated that the Erie system is desirous of securing the control of the OhioAt Mississippi property, as soon as the latter road shali have been' taken from the hands of the receiver. This is interpreted to indicate an early renewal of the contest in which Mr. Gould was defeated, at the annual election of the Ohio & Mississippi in October, 1881. It will be remembered that the Garrett party then outvoted Mr. Gould by a small majority, even that being obtained by voting ou registered bonds. Ir is expected that the discharge of the Ohio Sc Mississippi receiver will soon be se cured, and following this the usual annual election will take place. Should the Erie management secure a strong representation in the next year’s hoard of officers of the Ohio & Mississippi, it will he one of Eric’s greatest acquisitions, and, at the same time, by of great advantage to the Oiiio& Mississippi road itself.” GENERAL NEWS. Patent Car-Couplers increasing—Why Railroad Men Arc Shy of These Inventions. Three more self car-couplers were patented last week. In one the druwhead is provided with a sliding block upon which the coupiingpin rests before the coupling i.s effected. When the cars are brought together the sliding-block is depressed by the action of the connecling link aud the pin drops into the link, when the cars become automatically coupled. The second invention consists in coupling-heads having their sides beveled to overlap each other, aud in unequal armed U-shaped coupling-rods having curved bars attached to the ends of their long arms. The rods couple the cars by the couplinghead of an adjacent car when the cars are run together. In me third invention the drawhead Is provided with a sliding hook over which the connecting link passes in coupling the cars, dispensing thereby with the ordinary coupling-pin. A pivoted lever is placed at the top and end of the car, aud connects with the sliding hook in the drawhead. whereby when the lever Is elevated the hook will he projected from the drawhead, and will thereupon annum u neudent position and the cars will be uncoupled. The great trouble now is not to get a car-coupler that op crates perfectly, hut one which is an no manner hti infringement on another. A general manager yesterday remarked ih at he was afraid to take hold or any one of the inventions lest it would briug the company Into an extended litigation over the charge l>\ some unfortunate car-coupler inventor that the one their road was using was an infringement ou his. Stepping on the Monopolies. The California hoard of railroad commissioners, after many months of hard work,have at length, in the language of one of the board, “run the cow-catcher of the constitution” through the railroad rate* of the State, by reducing them

from a maximum of 10 cents per mile to 6 cents across two deserts, two mountains and on one branch road, and to 4 cents per mile on all the rest of the Central and Southern Pacific systems. Their actiou has surprised the people and the railway management as well, it is stated. The railroads will contest the action of the board, Circuit Judge Bawyer having already granted au injunction against its action ou motion of the Pacific Coast Steamhip Company. Heretofore the railroad companies in California, or, we should say, railroad company, as the Central Pacific controls everything iu tne way of railways, have had matter’s their own way, but seems to have now struck some healthy opposition. Miscellaneous Notes. The Pennsylvania railroad people say that the limited express pays a handsome profit. It is stated that the highest speed of passenger trains knowu iu Eugland or the United States was attained last week on some sections of the Grand Truuk l oad. The Kansas City Se. Memphis road is approaching completion. It proposes to make connections with the East Tennessee system aud with one of the Pennsylvania lines. A company with a capital of $500,000 has been organized to manufacture the Standard patent car-brake shoes and brake shoe-heads. The factory will be located at Fort Waj'ne. The Northern Pacific, on through freight, it is said, will adopt the same classification and tariff on overland business as that charged by other transcontinental routes, but will adopt a different policy on interior rales. General Neeley lias placed an engineer corps ou the old line of the Chicago Sc Atlantic with a view to extending the line of the New York, Pittsburg Sc Chicago. It is proposed to build a connecting liuk from New Lisbon to Mariou, O. The heads of several ohl conductors on the Chicago Sc Rock Island road have tumbled into the basket lately. The company is watching all closely, and if there is a well-founded suspicion that they are putting money collected In their owu pockets they are discharged at once. Judge Boyer decides that the Pennsylvania railroad, or rather its new Norristown line, has a right to lay its tracks through the streets of Norristown, notwithstanding the objections of the Reading. The Philadelphia & Reading road should be the last to growl, as in neat ly every city they strike they have used streets extensively for their tracks. The Texas Se St. Louis road, which proposes to give tne Jay Gould lines some sharp competition in tho Southwest, is formed by the consolidation of the Texas Sc St. Louis company, of Arkansas, and the Little River Valiev Sc Arkansas company, establishing a line to Texarkana, where it connects with the Texas Sc Bt. Louis company, of Texas, by which the line is extended from Texarkana to Eagle Pass and Laredo. Parties who are ou the inside do not think it a fortunate thing for the Little Bantam, TANARUS., C. & Bt. L. road, that the Seuoy syndicate has taken an interest iu the property. The New York Indicator says of tile new deal: “The street has had all it wains of the Sney candidate, and, if given a rest for a time, the syndicate may succeed iu getting rid of their stocks—that is,i f they keep quiet long enough to be forgotten—but, so long as these public philanthropists pose before the. public, we opine their schemes wi!’ go a-beg-ging for assistance. Wall street doesn’t generals r sample two apples out of the same barrel iu one season.” PERSONAL AND LOCAL. V. T. Malott Receiving Numerous Congratulations—C. C. Gale as a Wool-Grower. John Thomas, president of the Indianapolis Rail Rolling-mill, on Monday next loaves for Lake Superior on a recreation trip, to be absent one month. His daughter will accompany him. D. M. Higgs, president ami general manager of the Texas Continental Transportation Company, by circular gives notice Hint Charles A. Ilaslett is appointed general superintendent of that compuuy, with headquarters at New Orleans. General Superintendent MacLeod, of the Louisville. New Albany Sc Chicago system, and Division Superintendent riala yesterday made a trip over the Air-line division. Mr. ‘MacLeod states that probably additional trains will be put ou Aug. 1. they to run through to Chicago. The announcement in yesterday’s Journal that V. T. Malott had been elected vice-president and general manager of ihe Uuiou Railway Company and Belt road was au agreeable surprise to his large circle of friends in this city, and the general remark is that he is just the man for that place. People now feel that so far as Indianapolis is concerned the interests of all roads centering here wili be harmonized, and with this the building of anew union depot is assured. Mrs. C. O. Gale, wife cf C. C. Gale, formerly superintendent of the Bee-line, who was called North on account of the death of her mother, night before iast returned to Texas. Mr. Gale has become a large stock and wool raiser. He owns a ranch of 4,000 acres and leases 20,000 acres additional; has some 5,000 sheep, some blooded cattle, mules, etc., and is farming on a large scale, is in excellent health and is making money. His ranches are 150 miles from any railroad, Ban Antonio being the nearest point at which he can ship his wool. Or course he is deprived of many' privileges which he had when living North, yet there are many things, he writes a friend, which make his present mode of living pleasant. Local Notes. The Wahasb, on Sunday next, makes changes m the running time of its passenger trains, which, it is thought, will better convenience tne traveling public. Commissioner Fine has asked tho managements of the roads doing east-bound business out of Peoria to at once take steps to re-establish the east-bound pool at thut point. Paymaster Sullivan, of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis Sc Chicago road, to-day pays on the eastern division for June services, ami on the western division to-morrow. The Illinois Midland is taking Peoria business on a limited scale, entering Peoria over tho Wabash road. As yet they have not taken auy seaboard business, but expect to begin to do so soou. The Indianapolis Sc 9t. Louis is experimenting with anew device for a spark-arrester, the invention of one of the shop hands. The test is being made on a freignr, and on a passenger engine as well. There is a heavy live stock movement Eaßt this week. Yesterday the Bee-line forwarded five stock trains E.ist from this point, hauling 133 car-loads of stock, mostly consigned to Bulfalo, N. Y. Superintendent MacLeod states that the earnings of tho Louisville, New Albanv Sc Chicago rojul proper, the first ten days of July, show a 20 per cent, increase over those ot tlie corre spending period, 1882. The Louisville,Now Albany <fc Chicago and tho Chicago & Great Southern road have established a station jointly at Fair Oaks, where the C. Sc (i. 8. intersects rhe L , N. A. & C., and W. H. Hayes has been appointed agent. The fact that it is now July 13, and the employes ou the Detroit Sc Indianapolis division of the Wabash have uot yet reoeived t-helr pay for May services gives color to the round-house rumor that to reduce operating expenses the company has abandoned the pay car. A station was established, yesterday, at Westfield, ou the Chicago Sc Indianapolis Air-line, and J. C. Elliott was appointed agent. This promises to be a large shipping point. There is a sidetrack there to hold sixty cars, aud a grain elevator with a capacity of 50,000 bushels. If General Manager Waite, of the C., H. Sc D. line, proposes to build lip a good business in connection with the Chicago <fc Indianapolis Airline, he will need make some arrangement for hauling Cincinnati business which arrives here iu the evening through that night. By so doing, freights for Cincinnati will be delivered twentyfour hours earlier than they can be under the present arrangement. The statement that Peter Routier bid $20,000 under that of any other contractor for rhe building of rhe Chi ago, Bt. Lou in Sc Pittsburg shops at this point is incorrect. There were tour bids which ranged from $4,000 to $5,000 above his bid, aud two $3,000 to $4,000 under his bid. The parties who made the latter were not thought to be. men who would do the work in the specified time or acnordlug to sp 'durations. The Lottery iSusitiess in the City. The recent order of the Post mas ter-genclal prohibiting the use of the mails for lottery business, will have considerable effect in this city, as elsewhere. An agent of tho lottery companies yesterday stated to a Journal reporter that he hud about twenty regular customers in this city who made regular monthly investments, ranging from $1 to $25, and among them were several prominent Imsiqess men. There were besides scores of transient customers who invested frequently, liut not regularly. The Vincennes lottery “broke” so many people that tho business had been light since it was closed up. He thought that probably SSO > a month was spent by Indianapolis people for lottery tickets. Summer Tourists everywhere seem to find the laced-fruut shin indispensable- Parker has them.

AN UNWELCOME VISITOR. In the Shape of a Damaging Rain ami Wind*Storm, The City Suffers to the Extent of Thirty Thousand Dollars—Where the Damage Was Greatest. A storm of extraorainary force and fury passed over Indianapolis from the north about seven o’clock last evening, lasting about threequarters or an hour, and doing a great deal of | damage in all sections of the town, especially west of Meridian street. It was accompanied by the most unusual electrical phenomena, and the lightning struck several places within the city limits, with more or less serious results. Tne sky presented a rose-tinted appearance und electrical waves chased each other iu rapid succession across the heavens. The rainfell in torrents aud many of the lower streets were completely Hooded, the gutters and sewers being incapable of carrying off the unusual body of water. Meridian street, for two or three blocks south of Tinker, was overflowed. The Illinois street tunnel was rendered impassable by the presence of several feet of water, and Pogue’s run and the State ditch were as usual transformed into boiling torrents almost it: the twinkling of an eye. The appearance of the sky during the entire progress of the storm was most peculiar, and was sufficiently awe-inspiring to create an impression iu the minds of those who witnessed it that will not be easily eradicated. The clouds seemed to speed along at a marvellous rate, and there is no dotbt that hail the wind attaiueii a velocity near the earth that it possessed a few hundred feet apove, an incalculable amount of damages would havejbeen done. As it was, the city probably suffered to the extent of $30,"00. Shade-trees were everywhere uprooted or snapped asunder and the broken fragments strewed about the streets and yards in confusion; fences and outhouses were generally levelled and shrubbery und gardens were badly wrecked. So violent, indeed, was the storm that the impression prevailed that the vicinity of Indianapolis had been visited by a disastrous cyclone, and that no more serious harm befell the city is a general surprise. The mercury fell 18° in twenty minutes, according to tbe report of the signal service office. ON THE WEST 81DE. The storm seems to have been most severe in the western and southern parts of the city. Probably the* greatest loss is at the Imliauapolis glue factory at the canal and Sixth street. About seventy feet of it was blowu down, and the damage is estimated at from $3,000 to $4,000. Over in Indlauola much damage was done. A part of the west wall of the ludianapolis A St. Louis round-house was blown in aud eight freight oars on a switch of the 1., B. &W. wore blown from the track and overturned, but the damage w T as not especially great as they were unloaded. Ali night long wrecking crews were at work restoring order in the yards. Along Washington street, east from the railroad crossing ueurlv all the small residences were damaged more or less. A large stable that bad formerly been used for livery purposes, was totally demolished. The lower portion had been utilized as a residence for the family of Edward Washburn, all of whom luckily escaped injury, although their household effects were badly shuttered. Tbe principal damage done iu this locality, however, was to the brick business clock owned by the Thames Loan ami Trust Company, adjoining the west eudof the new river bridge on the south side of the street. A. Bowen’s drug store, situated in this building, had the show wiudoww blowu iu ami stock damaged probably to the amount of SSO. Adjoining him was a small restaurant and bakery owned by Christian Deschler which was almost ruined. A large front window was blown in and the draft thus made blew down two wooden partitions, and other debris smashed in the show-cases aud bins, while tho, rain, which poured in torrents, greatly damaged the stock, the whole loss aggregating about S2OO. Tti the wear end of the building is the Davis grocery, which was slightly damaged. The old covered bridge across the river was badly shaken up, ana about fifty feet of tlie roof from the west end was carried away and scattered about in a very promiscuous manner, the railing on the new bridge being broken down by it. It is surprising that there was uot some loss of life bore, for the people in that vicinity report that for a time the air was filled with flvtng timbers. Mrs. Martin V. Harryman, whose husband is employed at Archdeacon’s factory, started across the river in search of her boy when the storm was approaching, aud had just got out of the bridge when it struck her. She held fast to a birching post to keep from being blown away, and while in this positiou was struck bv a board, which cut her badly about the head, but she is uot dangerously hurt. Two ladles in a light buggy reached the bridge about the same time, and were in imminent peril until some men ran out aud carried them Into a house, aud their horse and buggy were thrown over and bruised up. On the east side of the bridge the wind was less destructive. The old Philadelphia House and rhe Pennsylvania near California street, were partially unroofea, and several panels of the State-house fence were blown down. A lateral development of the storm did some damage up on Indiana avenue. The front of the millinery store of Mrs. Case, No. 174, was smashed in and her stock damaged, and Orirape’s shoe store, adjoining, was drenched by the skylight giving way. One of his workmen was cut by the falling glass. All throughout tills portion of the city the shrubbery was greatly damaged. ON THE SOUTH SIDE. TLe Soutlisido suffered greatly by the wind and rain, aud last night it was next to impossible to get the full particulars on account of the extreme darkness. In the southwestern portion of the city many large trees were either uprooted or broken down, ana Bicklng street and some others were almost impassable for vehicles. Tho northern gable of the new steel-rolling mill was blown iu and about sixty feet of rhe iron roof was carried away, so that the damage here was considerable. Mothershead’e foundry, on Bates street, was almost entirely unroofed, and two walls of the Wagner block, now in course of erection, at tho corner of Meridian and liay streets, were leveled to the ground. The entire, frout of John N Noland’s house, No. 76 B ites street, w*s smashed in by a falling tree, and the rain ruined his carpets. Pauliui’s furniture factory, No. 429 South Illinois street, was very badly damaged, and lust night it was rumored that three men were hurt in the ruins, but the rumor could not he authenticated. All along Morris ami McCarty streets windows were broken in and ehiintievs blown down, the damage generally being light, Hetherington Sc Berner’s foundry lost part of the roof. Over on Virginia avenue, two gables of No. 8 school-house were blown in, and near the oorner lof South, John Hart man’s blacksmith shop 1 was struck by liglituihg, and a young woman named Sadie Baker was badly shocked. Up on Illinois street above the depot the back part of the building adjoining tue Planter’s Hotel on the south was unroofed, and considerable damage I done to Johu Keen’s book store aud Cxotain I Jeremiah O’Leary’s (Judge, ye don’t 'saloon. On Meridian street, the tin roof on : j Stewart & Barry’s new block was torn loose and I partially rolled up, but was temporarily replaced after the storm. On The roof of the building occupied by A. B. Gates Sc Cos. was a large, frame work supporting telephone wires, and this, iu tailing, let in the water on the stock, which was damaged to the extent of several hundred dollars. IN WEST INDIANAPOLIS. The loss in West Indianapolis is large. No estimate can be put upon the destruction of the fine young shade trees that lined every street of this flourishing suburb, and which it will take years to replace. The southeast 6ide of the slate roofofNordyke, Marmon <fc Co.’s works, a strip twenty feet long and ten feet wide, vras torn off, aud the slate and sheeting hurled through the roof of the new addition to the foundry, causing a total damage of more than SI,OOO. Added to this is the destruction of the staving shoot, 300 feet long, on which the loss will probably be $350. D. M. Rank, the publisher of tbe Millstone, has his printing-office in the building injured by the storm. Eight thousand copies, the entire monthly edition of his paper, Just printed aud i ready for distribution, were ruined, being sat-

: united with water, torn and blown full of rub- ; bish by the wind. I The root of tlie oleotnargerine factory was blown off and the upper story badly damaged, the loss being probably $2,000. MINOR DAMAGES. In the northwestern part of the city there was probably little danrige to residence property, though a large number of fences were blowu | down. The damage to shade trees was great here, also, as in tho southwestern and southern I parts of the city, hundreds of large shade trees being blown to the ground. Maus’s brewery had two smoke-stacks blown down, and tlio front of Charles Verner’s gro- ; eery, corner of Miobigan and Blake streets was ; torn oft. ; . [ n Th ® northeastern part of the city the rainfa3i w “ 8 hut the wind did little damage. ! Ou Noble street, a couple of squares north of ; Washington street, a number of magnificent shade trees fell victims to rhe storm. The south gable of Prange’s grocery, brick, corner of Liberty aud Washington streets, was blown down. A large tree fell againßt the Ride and root of Dr. D. If. Oliver's residence, giving great fright $l5O iu,mitea ant * damaging the building about Tliewallßof a stable in Tndianolc owned by a man named Springer, were blown down, anil the roof, iu falling lo the ground, soUled complacently over a horse, which was not hurt, although a wagon standing near was slashed into smithereens. Political Small Talk. The Journal requests that it maybe notified as early as possible tills even'ag of the result of the primary conventions in the respective wards and precincts. It is said that Councilman Yoke, of the Twentieth ward, will uot be a candidate for renomlnation. Isaac Herr, attorney, and Arthur Timberlake, druggist, are aspirants for Council iu the Second ward. The Third ward Republicans have four candidates for the Council to ohoose from, Calvin F. Daruell, ex-recorder, and Joseph G. Stemraens, ex-policeman, both white; and William Floyd, barber, aud Conrad Burley, ex-constable, both colored. The candidates for Council in the Fourth ward are Theodore Smithers, the well-known gravelroofer, and a Mr. Cay lor. In the First ward the candidates for Council are George Weaver, present incumbent, and Miles Reynolds, foreman of the Bee-hive planingiuill. Peter F. Bryce, who always carries the Seventeenth ward, is being pressed bv his friends to again make the race for the Council. John R. Pearson and Marcus L. Brown are after the Council nomination in the Fifth ward. In the Sixth ward, Boswell Ward, present member of the Council from that ward, will probably be presented for renomination. The. honor of representing the Seventh ward In the City Council will be struggled for by Dr. Bedford, present incumbent, W. A. Bell, school commissioner; Frank H. Carter, druggist, and George F. Meyer, coal dealer. Isauo Thallium is uot likely to have auy opposition for tho Republican nomination for councilman from the Eleventh ward. In the Twelith ward the fight for the nomination will be a close one between Robert n. Reus and Win. 11. Morrison, present incumbent. John R. C’owie will ask for reuomlnutiou in tbe Thirteenth ward. The Fourteenth ward candidates for tiie Republican nomination for Council are Dr. PettiJobn and J. W. Palmer. Iu the First district there are four candidates for the Rapublidan alderuiuuic nomination: Frank Hamilton, present incumbent; Harry E. Drew, now alderman for the Third district; George W. Stubbs, attorqey, and Thomas Endley, book-keerer for A. D. Strciglit. James A. Pritchard, now representing rhe Third ward in the Council, and Henry Maurer, representing the Fourteenth ward, waut to be aldermen for the Secoud district. In the Third district Alderman Rorlson will stand for renomination. Iu the fourth district Hiram Seibert will run for renomination, and Alderman Tucker will retire from the board aud run for the Council from the Twentieth ward. The Republican primary convention of the Tenth ward will be held at Bhlrfey’s shop, No. 226 North New Jersey, to-night, to select delegates to the city convention to ho held to-mor-row. It has also been suggested that the candidate for council be nominated at the same time.
