MUNICIPAL LEGISLATION. The City Hall Scheme Finally Knocked Out of Time. An Exciting Discussion, in Which Several Members Make Spectacles of Themselves—The Board. A special meeting of the Common Council was held, last night, for considering the report upon the preparations for beginning the erection of the city hail and market-house building. A claim for $7,816.05, on account of services in preparing plans and specifications for the proposed city hall building, was presented by architects J. H. & A. H. Stem, which, with the $1,900 that has already been paid them, makes the total of their bill $9,716.05. The injunction against the erection of the building having stopped work, and anew commission having been appointed, the Messrs. Stem claim that, “contrary to all rules of professional courtesy and justice, Mr. Bohlen was induced to compete, from which followed a general competition which has taken the work out of our hands. The architects further claim that they acted in good faith, and are stUl ready to fulfill their agreement: therefore they demand the full amount which would be due them according to the regular rates of the profession if they had executed their contract The claim was referred to the committee on accounts and claims, on judiciary, and the city attorney. THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE'S REPORT. The special committee to whom was referred the report of the city hall commissioners presented a series of whereases embodying their report, stating that the plans adopted provide' only for a large hall with market space underneath, that the city has no title to the ground known as the market space; that the interest of the city in the Tomlinson fund is conditional upon the provisions of the Tomlinson will; that the title which the city now holds to the ground known as the market space will not permit the erection of the buildings contemplated in the Tomlinson will, and under the provisions of the will it cannot safely undertake the erection of the building provided for by the plans. Therefore, the committee offered a resolution providing that “the further considera tion of the matter shall be postponed until after the next session of the Legislature.” The mayor, the city attorney, and Councilmen Spahr, Benjamin, McClelland, Reynolds, Downey, Dowling and Haugh, the resolution further proposed, shall be appointed a special committee to bring the matter before the General Assembly, with a view to securing permission for the erection of tlie proposed buildings, immediately after which work shall be begun. A MONKEY AND PARROT TIME. In the discussion of the resolutions Mr. Spahr said that he favored the use of the Tomlinson fund in accordance with the provisions of the endowment; he was in favor of using the fund in the interest of no scheme, but in the interest of the city of Indianapolis. It cannot he said by any one that a city hall, with a market house underneath, is what Dr. Tomlinson intended, and any other use of the fund than that contemplated in the will is likely to result in the entire loss of the estate after the building has been erected. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Spahr said that there were two members of the Council who opposed any expenditure of money in which they were not interested, hut if they had some favorite scheme, they would bulldoze it through, even if it cost $30,000. or $50,000. Mr. Thalman arose to a point of order, and stated that “the gentleman had no right to make personal allusions, and if, by his remark, he means me, he says what is false, and what he knows to be false.” Mr. Spahr—“lf the shoe fits—” Mr. Thalman —“I insist upon my point of order and say again that if the gentleman alludes to me he says what he knows to be false, and false as h—l.” Mr. Spahr continued speaking, and the mayor, rapping for order, said that he could not allow the Council to be turned into a beer garden. Order was restored and Mr. Spahr again resumed speaking. Mr. Thalman opposed the resolution. Why the erection of the building had been deferred so long was something that he could not explain; but he wanted to see the work now begun with as little delay as possible. The money of the Tomlinson fund has long been lying idly in the treasury, and he favored its use, as it would give employment during the summer to a large number of laborers. He stated that he would look upon a failure to use the fund as an outrage. Mr. Newcomb opposed the resolution, because he favored the erection of a market-house, because he believed the plans which had been adopted were good ones, and because he was opposed to leaving the money idle in the treasury when there are thousands’of workmen needing employment. Mr. Cowie said “the market space is for a market-house, and the Tomlinson will provides for a city hall, and I believe that we will first have to obtain the permission of the Legislature to use the market space for a city hall before we can safely erect the building.” Dr. Edenharter thought the commission should have been composed of members of the city government and not of citizens who were owners of property next to the market space. He further stated that erection of a city hall bn the grounds would increase the rents of these citizens and they were individually interested in the improvement being made. He favored the adoption of the resolutions presented by the committee in a speech of considerable length, in which he gave substantially the same reasons advanced by Mr. Spahr and expressed in the committee report. An amendment to the resolutions was offered by Mr. Trusler, providing that the proposed special committee should be appointed by the Mayor, which was seconded by Mr. Tiiaiman with the remark that “a self-constituted committee looked like settling things up.” Mr. Spahr offered an amendment to the Trusler amendment, which effectually killed the latter, and by inadvertency, the Mayor called the vote without stating the question. Through a misunderstanding of those who were opposed to the Spahr motion they voted unanimously for it, and when the mistake was afterwards discovered there was some confusion. While trying to explain the mistake to the Council the Mayor was repeatedly interrupted by Councilman Dowling excitedly insisting upon a point of order. Exasperated by the conduct of Dowling the Mayor said, “I wish the councilman would keep quiet, I propose to do the fair thing.” MR. DOWLING'S ASRININITY. “I proposed to do the fair thing too,” rejoined Dowling, adding, as he subsided into his chair, “You g— d—n fool!” “Such language and such conduct,” Councilman Pearson remarked, “is a disgrace to this Council, and should not be tolerated.” The Mayor, without making any reply to the disgraceful expression of Dowling, explained the mistake in putting the question, and, for the sake of fairness, asked that the Council be al lowed to again vote upon the matter. A reconsideration was made, and, by a called vote, the Spahr amendment was again adopted. The Mayor then stated that, as a member of the city hall commission, he desired to say somethiug in regard to the changes which had been made in the plans for the buildings. The changes were not made until after both plans had been carefully examined, and the idea which had teen kept in view, by the commissioners, was to reasonably comply “itli the conof the Tbfr.anson endowment. The Commissioners had adopted the plans which they believed best met the requirements of the will. The native legal title to the market square, he did not doubt, is vested in the State of Indiana, but the beneficial use of it is an unquestionable right of the public. The point involved in ttie question is one thatlias been well settled in a long line cf decisions. It has been decided in the

Supreme Court of the United States —the highest court to which the question could be carried. The previous question being moved, the resolutions offered by the special committee, deferring further consideration of the city hall matter until the next session of the General Assembly came to a vote, and were adopted, the ballot standing as follows: Ayes—Councilmen Benjamin, Cowie, Coy, Dowling, Doyle, Edenharter, Haugh, McClelland. Rees, Reynold, Smither, Spahr, Trusler, and Wolf —14. Nays—Councilmen Curry, Mack, Newcomb, Pearson, Reinecke, Thalman, and Wharton—7. The Board of Aldermen* The regular meeting of the Board of Aldermen was held last night. The committee on bridges recommended the building of anew wooden bridge over South Liberty street, in place of the one washed away by the floods last winter, which was concurred in. The committee on water, in compliance with instructions, reported that since the last contract between the city and the water works company 11,620 feet of water mains had been laid. The SSOO included in the appropriation ordinance for the purchase of the Minker property, west of the river, through which it was proposed to open a street, was stricken from the ordinance after a long discussion. A resolution was adopted directing the Pittsburg, Chicago & St. Louis, and the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton railway companies to span Pogue’s run, whereever their tracks cross the stream, with transverse iron girders. The general ordinance regulating sales by weights and measures was finally adopted. Mrs. Kessler After Mr. Hazzard. A woman giving the name of Mrs. Kate Kessler called at the ’ mayor's office yesterday, and wanted a warrant for the arrest of a man named Hazzard, who, she claimed, was too intimate with her daughter, but she could furnish no proof. She was advised to go to tho grand jury, but her manner became so violent that Sergeant O'Donnell placed her under arrest, and a loaded revolver was found in her possession. She was committed for carrying concealed weapons. Championship Game To-Day. The opening of the base-ball championship season in this city will take place this afternoon between the Indianapolis and St Louis clubs, on the Seventh-street grounds, game being called at 3:30 o’clock. McKeon and Keenan and probably O’Neil and Deasly will be the batteries. An interesting contest may be expected and there should be a large attendance. A Runaway Accident. A team belonging to Bailey, the contractor, ran away on Elizabeth street, last evening, and running up on the sidewalk the wagon struck Loyd James, eighty years old, as he was entering his own yard, dragging him several feet and breaking three of his ribs. On account of his advanced age, James is not expected to recover. The Demand for Divorces. John D. Hedge wants a divorce from Dora E. Hedge, to whom he was married in 1876, alleging cruel treatment and abuse.
