MAKERS OF MUNICIPAL LAW. The City’s Expenditures Shown To Be in Excess of Its Resources. A Petition From Prominent Physicians for Representation on the City Hospital Staff —Legislation Proposed and Completed. Tlie City Council met last nieht. Bids for bridges over Pogue's run at Eddy street and over the canal at Sixth street, were received and referred to the committee on contracts. The city treasurer submitted his report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1884, which showed the following balances on hand Jan. 1, 1885: General fund, $G8,871.81; Tomlinson estate, $04,901.78: additional city hall fund, $45,749.94; sinking fund. $30.845.91. Contracts were awarded for grading and graveling several streets and alleys. The city clerk reported that warrants aggregating $752,548.71 were drawn on the city treasurer during the past year. It was moved and earned that the street commissioner be instructed to notify the Bee-line, TV., St. L. & P. and the 1., B. & W. railroad companies to open the drains and gutters so as to afford a free passage for the water under their tracks where they cross railroad street, and that if not done in ten days of service of notice, that the city will do the work and collect the cost thereof of tham. The street commissioner was ordered to proceed to do the work if not done by the companies in said time. The city civii engineer reported a first and final estimate in behalf of George W. Seibert, jr., for grading and bowldering the gutters of Mississippi street, from Maryland to Washington street; $772.07. The contract for building a bridge over Pogue’s run on East street, was awarded to S. U. Godfrey. of the Indianapolis Bridge Company, for $4,251.61. The Big Pour road and the C., 11. & l. railroad join the city in buildiug a part of the brid sre. T ie attention of the Council was called to the fact that certain parties living near the lot known as the Park, betweon Noble and Liberty streets, are willing to pay the city for a quit claim deed to the lot.. Received and referred to committee ou public property. Coucilmen Thalman and Pearson, as a majority of the finance committee, presented a report. The expenses of the city for 1884 were shown to bo $548,050.83: the revenue for 1884 was shown by the tax duplicate of 1883 as $479,250; incidentals. including Belt railroad interest, $59,000; poll tax, $5.000—5543,250. The hospital improvement of $27,456 adds quite a figure in this year's expenses, otherwise we could be considered inside our revenue. We are convinced that a9O cent levy, with care and economy, will be suffi cient to mental! necessary requirements. There has. however, been a constantly-growing increase in the cost of water and gas, which, in the opinion of the committee, can be checked without creating inconvenience. The committee recommends that a resolution be passed and strictly adhered to that no further expansion of mains nor erection of lamp posts be ordered during 1885. They also recommended that a rqle be established that no street improve inent ordinance be passed without a petition ac companying it from the property owners along the . line, owning at least half the number of linear feet of the contemplated improvement. Adopted. Mr. Reinecke, the other member of the committee, presented a minority report as to the proposed action as to water-mains and lamp posts. Ordinances wore introduced for the erection of lamp posts on Michigan street, between Noble and Pine; to grade and pave with brick the side walks of Greer street, from McCarty to Buch anan; to provide for the building of a brick sewer on and alopg McCarty street, from Dela > ~tTirro~Utj "Madison 'aTenae; to grade and bowlder and curb the east gutter of Mudison avenue, from Downey to Nebraska. Mr. Benjamen moved that a committee of five be appointed to see what can be done to lessen the expenses of the city government. He made a speech asserting that the expenditures exceeded the resources last year by $34,000. Tho motion was referred to the finance committee. Mr. Edenharter’s resolution that water mains be laid on Highland street, between Ohio and Market, was referred to the committee on water.

A MEDICATED MUSS. A number of papers were presented by Mr. Haugh, among them an appeal from the City Hospital board in the matter of the discharge of Dr. Joseph Eastman from the hospital Staff, and the refusal of the board to give proper representation on the staff to the College of. Physicians and Surgeons. The first petition was signed by Drs. John M. Kitchen, John R. Featherston, E. S. Elder, G. V. Woollen, T. N. Bryan, L. L. Todd, F. S. Newcomer. J. C. Waters, Wm. Wands, J. H. Woodburn, Allison Maxwell, J. K. Bigelow, L. P. Watterman, M. H. Fields. 8. A. Butterfield, A. W. Patterson, P. H. Jame'son. A petition addressed to the couneil reads as fol lows: Whereas, Dr. Joseph Eastman has been for nine years past connected with the 6taff of the City Hospital: that during that term of serv ice he has faithfully discharged the duties of his position not only with credit to himself or to the advantage of the hospital as also to the satisfaction of the classes of young men who have asembled there each winter for instruction; that, whereas he has lately been deposed from the position he has o long held on such staff and denied the rights and privileges of tire City Hospital, without any just or valid reason for such action, thereby de priving him of the advantages of instructing students of the medical college of which he is a professor, and so violating a herHtofoi*e existing law in relation to the teachers of medicine and surgery who give their services gratuitously to the city and are allowed the opportunity of making clinical lectures to students who come to this city for the purposo of obtaining medical education, and who pay annually a specified sum into tho city treasury for such instruction, at the same time depriving the city of tho ser vices of one who as a surgeon is favorably and widely known throughout tho State; that the course pursued in the recent reconstruction of the staff on the part of the superintendent is without precedent in the history of the City Hospital, as it is unjust and an abuse of the au thority attached to the position; that such an at tempt on the part of the superintendent to use the City Hospital to the exclusive advantage of the Medical College of Indiana, notwithstanding he may hold a minor position in the way of a lectureship in the same in con sideration of such action. But considering the fact that this, as all other in-titutions of its kind, which orp supported at public expense and are ereated and maintained in the interest of a class of those whoean rightly claim the benefits of such charity; that it should not be allowed to be turned in as a part of the assets of any med ical college, nor be established ns the instrument in the hands of nny man or set of men for the exercise of professional jealousy or per Aonal disiike; that such action as that alluded to meets with disfavor from the best class oi' men in this city who are not connected with the medical college as their petitions to your board will show, doing violence to one against whom no charge can be made of professional incompeteney or character as a niau, as also depriving the city of vuluublo sei vices, and in asking vonr honorable body to restore his rights we desire to make no innovation upon existing customs. violate no principle or to utter no word gratuitously in disrespect of anyone, but only to present candidly and plainly the facts as they exist, and trust that this body will see to it that no such violence is done to individual rights to the interest of the city and to common j-.Aice. Mr. Haugh moved that a committee of rtvo be appointad to inquire into the matter aud report what legislation, if any is necessary, is required. Mr. Edeuhurter, speaking to the motion, said there were four medical colleges here —the In diana Medical, the Physicians’ and’Burgeons, the Physio medical, and the Eclectic. The Physio Medieal took twenty-five or twenty-seven tickets, paid for at $3 apiece to the city, for clinics at the liospital. The College of Physicians and Bur feong only took nine tickets; did not know ow many the Eclectics took, aud the Medical

College of Indiana forty-five. Buying only nine tickets, they want an equal representation ou the staff. None of these, except Dr. Eastman, who lias been a faithful attendant, has any claim. The men who are now claiming a just divide, said Mr. Edenharter, are the same men, several of them, who were about here some months ago buttonholing councilman to defeat Dr. Bedford's effort to get Physio medical representation. Messrs. Haugh, Newcomb, Mock, Sraither:? and Rees were appointed the special committee after other councilmen had spoken. A motion that the water company be directed to lay water-mains on l T nion street from McCarty to Hill was referred. Mr. Trusler moved that the street commissioners proceed to open Shelby street to a uniform width. Referred to the Board of Public Improvements. The board then adjourned. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT Superintendent Webster Makes His Annual Report—Financial Showing for the Year. Joseph H. Webster, chief fire engineer, filed his annual report with the city clerk yesterday. The report shows that the expenses of the department (not including salaries) amounted to $13,439.09, being considerably within the appropriation of $16,463. In the course of the report, referring to the members of the department, tho chief says: “During tho past year no body of men ever performed their duty better or with more willingness, having shrunk from no duty, however difficult or hazardous, most especially at our last and largest fire, the cotton mill, for by such desire to do their duty unflinchingly was the mill saved from total destruction.” He recommends that in the future four wheel reels be purchased, as the present ones wear out. The six steamers are in good order; one of them was rebuilt during tho year, but he favors replacing the large ones with smaller machines. He speaks in the highest praise of the chemical fire-extin-guisher, and recommends the purchase of two more of them, one for the new Prospect-street house, and the other to replace one of the engines on the North-side. Now cisterns are needed at Bright and Vermont, near the German Asylum; Tenth and Ash, Park avenue and Eleventh, and Willow and Olive. During the last year 3,000 feet of hose was purchased, and 2.000 more will be required this year. Four horses died during the year, and several old ones were replaced with new stock, hence the horse account is larger than usual. The year's cash receipts were $1,034.85; cash balance, $23.87; number of men in the department, 98; aggregate salary, $59,654; total expenses, $73,123.09; value of property, $277,217. The monthly losses were as follows: No. Fires. Loss. Insurance. .Tatiuarv- *2O $7,490.23 $290,050 February 22 6,078.73 71,900 March 24 4,339.80 10,900 April 21 4.771.55 36.800 May 11 896.50 9.900 dune 35 4.459.02 18.525 July 13 1,625.50 18,200 August 22 1,765.41 101,200 ‘September 14 2,872.06 11,650 October 27 1,455.90 16.715 November 29 3,000.37 24,900 December 24 44,302.26 126,725 Total 202 $83,723.33 $740,405 Amount of insurance over losses, $662,741.67. The losses during 1881 were $425,808.01; 1882, $52,160.60, and 1883, $110,579.09. Os the origin, forty-seven were incendiary and fifty defective flues. Os the buildings, one hundred were residences, fifty-five stables, thirteen factories, and "twenty-two business blocks. Chief Webster makes very complimentary references to the force generally, and especial mention is made of Joe Gaspar, his efficient clerk, ahd Audy Cherry, superintendent of tho alarm system.

New Yohk, Jan. 19.—The special committee of the Chamber of Commerce reports that, after investigation among all the members of the Chamber, it finds that the resolution adverse to the Spanish treaty, passed at the meeting on Jan. 8. is satisfactory to a large majority of the representatives of all branches of trade, and manufacturers have been called upon for opinion. The committee adds: “Mexico and San Domingo are sister republics. The latter, especially, is in sympathy with our people and institutions, and from her position might be of much value in giving us a coaling station in case of war. Treaties with these countries would take but little from our revenue, would open up avenues of trade at reasonable cost, and deserve favorable consideration. On the other hand, Cuba and Porto Rico are dependencies of Spaiu, and under Spanish rule of the most arbitrary and oppressive character. She has taxed them until they are bankrupt, and now she seeks at our expense to make them further able to swell her revenue. In helping a European power con.inue its oppressive system of government over the only two islands in American waters that remain under its control, are we going to permanently extend American influence? Spain has treated American interests arbitrarily and unjustly: American ships have been seized and confiscated without just cause, and a constant series of fines has been imposed upon our vessels; and, strange to say, the advocates of this treaty advance as one of their arguments, that outrages of this kind shall cease as a matter of favor, when we long since should have demanded it as a matter of right.” The committee gives a number of reasons why the treaty should not be ratified, saying; “This is not a reciprocity treaty; it would not benefit our manufactories to any great extent; it would destroy our sugar producing interest, derange our important American tobacco and cigar interests, and throw thousands of American laborers out of employment at a time when we can least afford an army of unemployed.” The report concludes thus: “The revenue of a single year proposed to be relinquished by us would build a creditable navy, or build a postal telegraph, or eularge our canals, thus furnishing American laborers with employment; or we might relieve citizens from taxation to that extent; or for one-tenth this sum we could establish American steamship lines to all south and central American ports, which would do more to build up our commerce than ten such one sided reciprocity treaties.” The report has been sent to the United States senators,*

St. Louis, Jan. 19.—The Wabash Toledo train, bound for St. Louis, struck a broken rail, just north of Venice, four miles from St. Louis, this morning, derailing the combination baggage and express car and the smoker. Both were thrown into tho ditch. The smoker was pretty well filled with passengers. The remainder of the train remained on the track. There were eight or ten persons injured. The United States express messenger, J. J. Matlocks, an old man, nearly sixty years of age, was fatally hurt. The other injured trainmen are: M. W. Ilasset. baggageman; Conductor Balou, and a brakeman, name unknown. The passengers injured are: W. F. Northmp, of Toledo; Mrs. George Lawson. Mrs. D. McFadden, eu route for California; Michael Achramer, a German emigrant bound for Arkansas; George Bennet. Fritz Seitfert and Aug. Koel. The sufferers, with the exception of the express messenger, were all able, with little assistance, to walk to conveyances at the Union depot The reputation which a medicine obtains and maintains at home is a pretty sure index to its real worth. The mayor of the city of Lancaster. Pa.. Hon. George Samlerson; the judge of the courts. Hon. A. L. Hayes; the president of the Select Council, George Yeisley, and the sheriff of the county of Lancaster, Jacob L. Frey, all unite in attesting the virtues of Mishler’s Herb Bitters. It is the greatest known remedy for diseases of the stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys.

TOE SULLIYAN-RYAN FIGIIT. Eight Thousand People Pay Their Money and Witness a Very Poor Show. Captain Williams Stops the Fight in the First Round—A General Impression that Sullivan Would Have Been Beaten. New Yohk, Jan. 19.—1n Madison square Garden, to night, John L. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan, old-time antagonists, again met They went to work in good style, but were stopped by Police captain Williams before they had had their hands up a minute. Nobody was arrested, and no decision was given. There was a great crowd. Long before the doors of the garden were opened, several thousand persons gathered on the outside, in order to secure places from which to witness the expected contest A cordon of police, under Capt Williams, kept the vast crowd in order until the gates wore opened, when there was a frightful rush for the interior. The platform in the center of the hall was the objective point of the great concourse, and soon tho crowd was packed as tightly as sardines around the outer railing. Among the “sports” who arrived earlyj were Harry Hill, Richard K. Fox, Dooney Harris, Billy Edwards, Jack Dempsey, Jimmy Patterson, Charley Mitchell, Gabe Case, Johnuy Murphy, John Stewart, Pete McCoy, Mike Donavan, the Dwyer brothers, John Condon, of Chicago, “Parson” Davis, Colonel Timipane, of Troy, and hosts of other admirers of the manly sport who are equally woli known. A contingent of 500 friends of Ryan arrived from Troy on a special train, while fully fifty of the “fancy” came hither from Chicago to see tho mill. As late as 9 o’clock a throng poured steadily into the garden, and it required the utmost efforts of the police to preserve order. Outside the building the streets were lined with men unable to obtain admissien, owing to scarcity of funds, and these remained in the nipping air, howling for their respective champions. P. F. Sheedy, Sullivan’s manager, tripped around the platform, the immense attendance, and the consequent “shekels,” having put him in excellent humor. Shoedy offered SI,OOO to $250, before the performance began, in favor of Sullivan, and offered to make the wager five times over, but no one took him up Among the police officials the impression appeared to be that the contest would be brought to a summary close if Sullivan attempted to “slug” Ryan. The Trojan’s friends were loud in their praises of Ryan's splendid condition. Sheedy and the delegation from Boston smiled, and said “wait” At 8:45 p. m. Captain Williams took a firmer grasp on his club and advanced within the railing surrounding the raised ring. In his wake were several distinguished amateur sporting men, among whom were Wm. Easton and Lord Chas. Bereham Clinton, of England. Rocsoe Conkling sauntered in and was an Interested spectator.

At 9 o’clock the crowd inside had reached 8,000 and visitors were still demandin'? admittance. A large number of the boxes were filled, and there was a big demand for reserved seats. The vast crowds standing on the floor grew impationt, and there was prolonged hissing. The stage exercises were opened by Pete McCoy and Mike Gillespie, who pummeled each other vigorously for three rounds. Bob Smith acted as master of ceremonies. Their dexterity with the gloves had the effect of appeasing the wrath of the crowd and restored them to quiet good humor for the appearance of America’s greatest pugilists. After what seemed an interminable delay, a murmur of applause ran through the hall, and John L. Sullivan jumped over the ropes, followed by his trainers, Tom Delay and Murphy, of Boston. The champion looked in good condition, and gazed complacently over the great throng. When Ryan made lus appearance he was greeted with cheers and waving of hats. He was attended by Jimmy Patterson and Ed Mallahan. Bob Smith announced that John Scanuell would act as master of ceremonies, and Charles Johnson, of Brooklyn, would keep time, but the police declined to allow the latter to act. Ryan’s massive proportions showed up to good advantage, and be was evidently a favorite with a groat my.y. Pat Sheedy JnmoUZ2QC& that the TTir.iier of the contest would receive 65 per ceut. of the receipts and the loser 35 percent. It was after 10 o’clock when Scaunell shouted “time,” and both men advanced to the scratch and shook hands, smiling grimly at each other at the same time. In the first round Sullivan led off with his left for Ryan’s broad basket, but the latter neatly dodged the blow. 11. m made a foint and tapped Sullivan heavily on tho right jaw. The champion grew redder and angrier, and Ryan, notieiug this, fbught close to his opponent, evidently with a t**w to prevent Sullivan from getting in the terrific blows for whieh he is celebrated. Both men fought fiercely at close range, showering blows thick and fast upon each other, and the enthusiasm of the crowd increased with the severity of the blows. The pugilists had not been at work over a minTjte when Inspector Thorne jumped over tho ropCi’'- followed by Captain Williams, and the two, wi*>h uplifted clubs, separated the combatants. They wore forced to their corners, reluctantly, Captain Williams stripped off the gloves. “This is no fight,” shouted Sheedy. Sullivan’s backer. Both boxers were hurried into the center of the ring, where they were made to shake hands, StdUvau extending his mauler in evident displeasure. • “I would h."*ve won this match,"said Ryan, “if the authorities had not interfered." This appeared to be tne general impression among tnose assembled, and when the Trojan started to leave ti> platform he was lustily cheered. The receipts were Slieedy’s hands; he will bC* likely to retain them, inasmuch as the contest ca*^ lo to such an unsatisfactory termination. He intimated that he had an understanding with the' principals that, in the event of trouble, lie woulu take the proceeds, giving each man what he right. Joe Coburn 'said he had a man whom he would pit against the winner, and said Captain James C. Daly was a hew aspirant for onship honors. The crowd left in fairly humor, although many denounced tho police fe' r interfering.

SHERMAN’S SHOES, Big as They Are, Attract the Attention of John R. McLean to the Senate. Cincinnati Special to Pittsburg Dispatch. The direction into which the ambition of the proprietor of the Enquirer is leading him. and in which he has been massing his energies for the last two or three years, is being so certainly disclosed that few observers of the signs of the times need remain ignorant of it any longer. He is undoubtedly preparing for a herculean struggle to succeed John Sherman iu the United States Senate. The Legislature to bo chosen this year will elect Sherman's successor. The last one—the present Assembly—chose Payne to succeed Pendleton, and its majority was secured by McLean with the express idea of defeating - “Gentleman George.” It was not a part of McLean's plans to go to the Senate then. He was neither well enonsh known to the country at large nor had he such a hold on the party organization of the State as to feel able to risk an attempt at time—and McLean makes only safe moves. Hut within the intervening two years he ha3 well improved his time and strengthened his fences, till he feels strong enough to make the trial —and he means to do it. In the past few months he has married a Washington lady, and bought a handsome property in that city, which could be utilized exceedingly well by a senator from Ohio. And. as rapidly as may be, he is preparing for his election. The quarrels which have threatened to rend the party in twain between the “kids" and tho “mossbacks" in the Ohio Democracy are being quietly but deftly smoothed over, old sores aro plastered tip, and harmony is being persistently sought for. All the machinery he so well understands is being set in motion in different counties for the selection of men as Democratic candidates for the Legislature who can be de-

pended on to vote for him for Senator, just as two year? ago the only pledge he wanted was that the man must not cast his ballot for Pendleton. All is fish that comes to McLean’s net. Few politicians understand as well as he, the advantages to be derived, indirectly if not directly, from the other side. Wherever a county is reliably Republican, there McLean's influence will be concentrated—not openly, but none the less effectively—in favor of a. candid, te opposed to John Sherman. One of McLean’s successful moves of this sort is now seen in Cincinnati, where the newly elected Republican sheriff showed how he was in McLean's power by giving his advertising to the Enquirer instead of the Commercial Gazette, in total disregard of his written pledges and moral obligations, he being peculiarly and in several ways indebted to the latter paper, a fact so well recognized by the general public as to arouse a storm of indignation from everybody. McLean will find good use ror the sheriff next October, when hundreds of deputies will be appointed to ‘‘help” at the election—and the Republicans will be silenced from protesting because of their use of United States marshals at the polls in last October. Thus does McLean contrive that his opponents shall be hoist by their own petards. John R. McLean will be the next senator from Ohio, if. coal-oil Democracy, a well tapped "bar!,” dauntless pluck and well-seasoned shrewdness can succeed. He is fast getting a stronger hold on Ohio than any of her past politicians ever had. lie and his methods are hated by a very large portion of the Democracy of the State—which is tolerably certain to follow his lead in the long run, all the same. That he can succeed in becoming his party’s nominee for senator next winter will hardly be doubted, and even if he does not secure the senatorial toga, Mr. Sherman will find the editor of v a great daily a remarkably hard man to down when ho sets his mind on going to the Senate. The pleasures of the table cease. Whene’er the teeth begin to fail; The beauties of the mouth decrease; The breath's no more a spicy gale; And all must soon in ruin lie, Unless to Sozodont we fly.

ENNlS—Nancy Ennis, wife of William Ennis, departed this life Jan. 10, 1885. She joined the Methodist church in 1843, in a log school-house, known as the McCorclo school-house, close to the place where she will be buried. She has lived a consistent member ever since, and, no doubt, gone home to heaven. She was married in 1845, Oct. 30, and has had a family of ten children, six boys and two girls living. All were present when she died. Three of them live in the city, and when they came home she always met them with a kiss. She was a fond mother ami a true companion. She was struck speechless on Thursday morning, and remained that way for some time, but came to and died on Friday evening at about 7:30 o’clock. She passed away quietly, without any struggle apparently. She was taken very sudden; went to bed, it seems, as well as common, but her time had come when she had to go. She has left us au example to follow. Let us meet her in heaven. She has gone to friends who have gone before. Our best friend on earth has gone home, our dear mother. God bless our dear* mother. C.
