BEPBESENTATIVE FABMEB3. Members of the Delegate Board of Agriculture Meet in Annual Session. President Lockbart Recommends the Sale of the Fair Grounds and the Lease of Other State Property. The Delegate State Board of Agriculture, composed of representatives from the county and district agricultural societies of the State, yesterday began its thirty fourth annual convention. There are about forty delegates in attendance. Among those who responded to tbe call of their names when the convention was organized in the morning were the following: Dick Jones, Columbus: Wm. Adkinson, Hartford City; George Leon, Logansport; E. I. Reed, Tiosa; K T. White, Maple Valley; John W. Marshall, Corydon; W. M. Cockrum, Oakland City; L. L. Cilpin, Portland; W. W.

Noe, city: Robert Mitchell, Princeton; Thomas Nelson, Bloomingdale; Professor J. H. Smart, Purdue University; Gerard Reiter, Vincennes. There was nothing done during the morning further than to effect the preliminary organization. Immediately after the opening of the afternoon session tbe standing committees were announced by President Lockhart, as follows: On Finance—Davidson, Seward, Dungan, D. F. Wiley, D. P. Groal, I. C. Zimmerman. On Rules and Regulations—Ratliff, La Tourette, Banks, R. C. McWilliams, Dempsey Seybold, Th omas Walter. On Fair Grounds—Mitchell, Seig, Hargrove, N. W. Atkins, George Irwin, J. W. Robe, Allen Hinchman. On Premium List—Boggs, Jones, Peed, J. A. McClung, R. B. Beeson, William I. Pugh. On Credentials—Graham, Green, La Tourette, Berry, Reiter. On Unfinished Business—Custer, Ratliff, Peed, William Bunyan, I. Tillison, J. B. Smith. A list of the county societies “supposed to be dead beyond resurrection” was read, and it was ordered that they should be stricken from the roll of organizations recognized by the State board. The list included the societies in the counties of Benton, DeKalb, Floyd, Fountain, Jasper, Johnson, Ohio, Scott, St Joseph and Switzerland, together with the district organizations known as the Russellville Union and Thorntown Union. The revenue derived from show licenses in the counties named, to which the agricultural societies are entitled, will hereafter go to the school fund, if not claimed by district societies. President Lockhart delivered his annual address, which, in its general tenor, was unusually hopeful and encouraging. The crop of 1885 would compare favorably, he said, with that of any previous year, and he thought that the farmers of the State have great reason to feel grateful. The last year’s work has been most gratifying to the members of the State Board of Agriculture. The fair was one of the most successful ever held, and the financial affairs of the board are now in a very satisfactory condition. In the first year that he be came a member of the board the debt was in excess of SBO,OOO, of which S6O 000 was bearing interest at tbe rate of 10 per cent., making it necessary to provide $6,000 annually for interest alone. When the bonds that have been called in are paid the outstanding debt will be $32,000, on which the interest has been reduced to 6 per cent The board, the president thought is on the highway of prosperity. While some assistance is received from the State, the aggregate amount of all that has been drawn from the treasury in the last twelve years is not equal to the amount paid in a single year in either of the four neighboring States of Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and lowa—for the promotion of the interests of agriculture. The State board has striven to advance the agricultural, manufacturing and other interests of Indiana, and feels that it is entitled to substantial support "We point with pride,” the president said, “to the grand homes of farmers all over the State, the fine stables of thoroughbred horses, the grand herds of cattle, sheep and hogs, second to no other State in the Union. We can boast that Indiana has within her foundaries some of the largest manufacturing establishments in the world. I believe the annual State fairs have had a great. deAl to do in bringing about this state of affairs' by the encouragement it has given to the production of better stock and machinery from year to year.” "It is a well-known fact to every one who has attended the State fair,” the President said, "that the grounds are to small to accommodate the exhibitors and visitors. The board has endeavored to utilize every foot of space, but they have found it absolutely impossible to provide all the exhibition room for which requests are made. There might be additional ground secured immediately north of the present fair grounds, but there are several reasons to be urged against this purchase. In the first place, the board is not financially able to purchase additional grounds, and could uot do so without assistance from the State. In the second place, if additional grounds could be procured, it is not at all probable that a railroad line could be extended to them, as the city objects to a road crossing any of the streets in that part of the city. It is an admitted fact that in order to make a State fair a success, it should be located on the line of some railway that conld take to the grounds heavy machinery and stock, without the additional trouble and expense of being transferred in drays or wagons. Many of the largest exhibitors decline to visit the Indiana State fair on this account, fearing damage to their stock. There is also great advantage in getting large crowds of people to and from the grounds in reasonable time, which cannot be accomplished ,by the best arranged street railway. The president suggested that land just east of the Deaf and Dnmb Asylum is owned by the State, and is not need for any particular purpose. It has several railroad and street railway lines running to it. and would be a eood location. If the proper steps should be taken, he thought that this laud could be procured from the State on a long lease. The buildings on the present grounds could be removed to tbe new location without much cost or damage. The outstanding indebtedness of the Board could be paid off with tbe money that could be raised by the sale of the present grounds, and the board would be enabled to start out with anew lease of life. The president expressed the opinion that tbe time would soon come when all large fair associations would see the importance of putting each distinct breed of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs by themselves, then arrange a scale of points by which each is to be judged, and select for judges only persons who are known to be experts. The officers of the Women’s State Fair Association were thanked heartily by the president for tbe efficient manner in which they had performed their work. The exhibit made by them at tbe last State fair, he said, would have been sufficient of itself alone to have attracted people from all parts of the State. The president’s address was referred to a special committee, of which Hon. Will Cumback was made chairman, for consideration. Alex. Heron, the secretary of the board, presented his annual report, which showed that the receipts from all sources amounted to $36,703.99, and the expenditures were $24,019.97, leaving ou hand a balance of $12,084.02. Al/expenses and ftreminms had been paid, he said/including tbe nterest on the bonded debt of $40,000. Improvements had been made costing $2,375, and at the close of the year, the board has $4,216 more in its treasury than it had a year nco. £Lo thought It doubtful if over before so

large a volume of business as is incident to a State fair had been transacted with so little jar, and with more perfect order and system. The secretary suggested that hereafter it would be much better to hold the annual meetings of the board in the second week in November, as, in addition to other advantages, it will enable the secretary to get his report published two months earlier. In closing his report he said: "I think there is abundant reason for gratitude and thankfulness, and can record that the past season has been the most productive in the history of the State.” Sylvester Johnson, the treasurer of tbe board, reported that the amount of cash on hand Jan. 1, 1885, was $7,009.17; the receipts from sale of admission tickets to the State fair were $21,238.05, and the receipts from all other sources amounted to $6,977.86, making the total $35,225.08. Disbursements were made od general orders amounting to $15,232.29, and for premiums, $9,044. The amount of cash now on hand is $10,948.79. An address by Mrs. L. May Wheeler, of this city, on the inventive genius of women, was listened to with interest, and at the conclusion of her remarks she was thanked by the unanimous vote of the board. Mrs. A. M. Noe, the president of the Women’s State Fair Association, reported that the exhibit in the woman’s department at the last fair had been larger and better than ever before. She recommended various improvements in the exposition building, the purchase of more show cases and the allowance of SSOO in premiums for business exhibits. Fielding Beeler, superintendent of tbe fair, presented a report of the affairs of liis department, which was referred to a committe for consideration. The officers of the board and of the Woman’s State Fair Association were directed to confer with the State-house Commissioners in regard to the furnishing of the board’s quarters in the new State-house building. New members of the State board will be elected to-day, to represent eight of the sixteen districts. Just before adjournment yesterday afternoon the following-named persons were nominated for election from tbe different districts: First- District—Robert Mitchell, of Gibson -county. Second—Samuel Hargrove, of Pike county. Third—J. Q. A. Seig, of Harrison county. Fourth—W. B. Seward, of Monroe county. Eighth—S. W. Dungan, of Johnson county, aDd I. N. Cotton, of Marion county. Fourteenth—L. B. Custer, of Cass county, and James McClung, of Miami county. Fifteenth—W. A. Banks, of LaPorte county. Sixteenth —Orlando Kimmell. of Noble county, and R. M. Lockhart, of DeKalb county. All of the present members from the districts named have been nominated for re-election. The session this morning will be devoted to the consideration of reports from the committees, and a paper on "The Management of Agricultural Fairs” will be read by Jasper N. Davidson, of Montgomery county. In the afternoon J. Q. A. Seig, of Harrison county, will discuss the labor question, and Colonel J. B. Maynard will deliver an address on the subject “Agriculture the Basis of Prosperity.” FAILED TO ORGANIZE. A Turbulent Meeting of the Fledgling Hendricks Club at Which Nothing Was Done.

A week ago the Hendricks Club that promised to be at this time fully equipped with permanent officers, adopted a constitution. Asa step toward bringing all Democrats around one club center a member proposed that the Meridianstreet organization be consulted about coming in under the Hendricks banner. The proposal, with slight opposition, was carried, when Charley Cooper, Ross Clarke and “Dory” Johnson were appointed a committee to at once arrange the consolidation. It was expected at the meeting last night that the committee would march in with all the Meridian-street swallow-tails and report that the consolidation had been perfected. Instead, Charley Cooper said that the president only of the other clnb had been seen, and he did not give the plan much encouragement He wanted to submit tbe question to his brother officers, and he did not think it necessary to call a special meeting for the purpose. However, the committee asked to be continued, and some one espousing its purposes moved that the elec - tion of permanent officers l e postponed for one week. A patriot from the South Side, with a warmth of expression and emphasis of gesture, remarked that he did not see the use of waiting on the will of the Meridian-street Club. “This is a Hendricks club, and if the other fellows want to come in they can, but I propose we elect officers at once,” he said. This speech required a little motfb diplomatic talk from the chairman of the conference committee. It then became known that the great obstacle to a consolidation of interests was that the Meridian-street Club regarded its organization perfected, and that it could not possibly unite with an institution that had merely adopted a constitution and was only in its temporary stage. A statesman expressed himself as unutterably committed to making no concessions. “If the union i3 to take place, it must be with the Hendricks Club. Wo can go on and elect officers tonight, and then be in a position to say we have a permanent organization,” said he. Still the diplomatic committee sought to have the question of election postponed until something definite had been obtained from the other club. “It is useless.” the committee’s spokesman argued, “to think about two strong Democratic clubs iu this city. It is possible for us to go on without tbe Meridian-street Democrats, but the organization would be stronger, financially, with them. Let us wait and see what they will do with our proposition.” “It is no use to reason with a mule,” wrathfully remarked one of Sim Coy’s constituents. “We can run a club without the swallow tails I move we go. at once into an election of ofceri.” "I move we*adjourn,” fiercely spoke a [friend of the committee’s plan. “No we don’t adjourn until we elect officers,” shouted two or three. “I say, Mr. President, a motion to adjourn is always in order,” angrily urged one of the committee’s friends. “It is no übo to have a meeting, gentlemen—” “I say we won’t adjourn until this thing is settled.” “Mr. President, a motion to adjoarn has been made twice, and I now renew it” “Gentlemen, will you keep order?” mildly asked the president Thus the racket went on until a motion to adjourn was finally carried, and the twenty-five present gathered in gronps to discuss the situation. An earnest patriot approached the president: “Say, why didn’t you put the motion to adjourn the first time?” “I did,” said that officer—John Holtzman. “You didn’t!” warmly retorted the p uriot “I say I did!” angrily replied the preL dent “I say you didn’t!” ! “I bet you ssl did!” and the president pulled out his pocket-book, selected a note and shook it in tbe face of the other disputant, who looked at the bill with one eye, the crowd with the other, aud declined to bet Said another patriot: “We don’t want tbe Meridian-street fellows unless they come in like the rest of us. What we want is a club of Democrats who will come rain or shine, who are not afraid of dirt lam going to get up a club on the South Side; see if I don’t” “The trouble is,” remarked Ross Clarke, “too many eame up to-night expecting to be elected to office. Everybody wants to be an officer.” Another secret meeting of the club will be held next Tuesday night Incorporated. The Rubble Quarry Company, the business of whieh will be conducted in this city, was incorporated yesterday. The capital stock is $5,000, and the incorporators are Henry M., William H. and Frank M. Talbott Articles were filed with the Secretary of State yesterday incorporating the Lindgren Fire-ex-tinguisher Company, of La Porte. The directors are Morgan A. Weir, Edwin W. Neff, Franklin R. Carson, George A. Lindgren and Charles H. Trueedall, and the capital atock is fixed at $50,000.

A I. M. C. A. BUILDING. Reception to W. C. Douglass,and a Conference on Association Work for the City. A number of gentlemen, twenty-five or thirty, met at the residence of Mr. T. C. Day, 820 North Meridian street, last night, in a reception given to Mr. W. C. Douglass, of Boston, and to talk over with him the needs of the work of the Y. M. C. Association in Indianapolis. Among those present were Rev. M. L. Haines, pastor of tbe First Presbyterian Church, Mr. J. F. Wallick, Mr. J. G. Kingsbury, Mr. D. F. Swain, Mr. C. E. Coffin, Mr. C. F. Sayles, Mr. W. C. Griffith, Mr. C. T. Whitsett, Mr. Charles D. Meigs, jr., Secretary Palmer, and others more or less prominent in connection with church and association work. Mr. Donglass gave a very inesting sketch of Young Blen’s Christian Associations, what the organization was intended to be, the relations it should sustain to the public, to the church and to the young men of any given city. A real association is not a charity organization; it is not a substitute for the church; it is not a missionary agency to the neglected; it is not primarily a Sabbath-school, nor a gospel service; it is not an asylum for tramp 9, the indolent or the vicious. It is, and should be none of these things. A real, healthful, wellequipped Y. M. C. Association is an organization and a place where a self-respecting, well-to-xlo, ambitious, honorable young man can find such society as will be agreeable, such recreation as will be healthful, such surroundings as will be helpful, and such influences as will be beneficial to his physical, mental and spiritual life. Such an association cannot do its work in a building that is not attractive, and cheerful, and well-equip-ped. Young men will not ally themselves with anything that is decayed or decaying. They will be repelled at the sight of a building rotting down, dirty, untenable, disgraceful; and that is the condition of the building in the city of Indianapolis. Some figures and facts were given of the association work in other cities. In Boston and its suburbs there are 11,000 young men members of the association—a veritable army. In the central association there are 4,400 members. More than 1,000 are in its gymnasium and over 1,200 are in its various night classes, of which there are eighteen, devoted to such instruction as will be practically valuable in tbe business life of young men. There are parlors where there is music and society every night, aud a reading-room filled with the choicest newspapers and periodical literature. In New York the association is doing a grand work, and enjoys the confidence and support of businessmen. A. T. Stewart gave it SIO,OOO gladly, because it afforded a place for the young men in his employ, and his business was benefited by the fact that his clerks could find some other place than a saloon in which to spend their leisure hours. Mr. Vanderbilt gave it SIOO,OOO in hie will, and his son has for years been prominent in the work. The New York Central railway defrays the expenses of six Associations on its line, simply because it pays to provide employes with the salutary influences of such places of resort. Mr. William Niblo, proprietor of Niblo’s Garden, made the library of the New York association the residuary legatee of his estate, and it received $i51,000 in eash. In Philadelphia the central building cost $700,000, and Mr. John Wanamaker, the merchant, says Philadelphia could better do without its entire street railway system than its Y. M. C. Association. Eighty-two association buildings have been built within the past year or two, costs4,ooo,ooo. Atlanta has raised $80,000; Selma, Alabama, a place of only 3,500 white people, has raised $15,000. Kansas City has raised SIOO,OOO for a building; and so it goes the country over. Mr. Donglass believed that Indianapolis could easily raise the needed $35,000, if the matter was placed properly before the public, aud the righ t agencies omployed. A number of inquiries as to the details of association work were asked, to which Mr. Donglass made replies, after which Mr. Meigs offered a resolution to the effect that anew Y. M. C. A. building should be built. This called forth a general response, short addresses being made by Rev. Mr. Haines and others. The vote upon Mr. Meigs’s resolution was unanimous aDd hearty, •end, upon the further motion of Mr. David Swain, Mr. T. C. Day, the president of the association was authorized to appoint a committee of five, of which he was to be chairman, whose duty it should be to take such steps as may be needful to properly organize tbe movement. Mrs. Day served the gentlemen with elegant refreshments, al fresco, and the remainder of the evening was spent in a pleasant social. It was the spirit and purpose of the meeting to see that a substantial, commodious and thoroughlyequipped home be built upon the present site, without any further delay, and if the association has the courage of its convictions and the faith of its opportunity, such a building will be dediated next summer.

Amusements. The merry comedy “Mixed Pickles” was presented again at the Grand, last night, by J, B. Polk and his excellent company, and again made a hit. It is a clean, bright play, and the performance of it is particularly entertaining. It will be repeated this afternoon and to-night, which will conclude the engagement “Alone in London,” a scenic melodrama by Robert Buchanan, will be seen at the Grand tomorrow night and during the remainder of the week. It is said to be a play of strong interest, and produced with much realism. Miss Cora Tanner and Herbert Archer are the leading members of the company. One of the most noteworthy engagements of the season will be that of the Carleton Opera Company at English's on Friday and Saturday nights, with matinee on Saturday. This organization is one of the best on the road this season, and has everywhere been received with great favor. On Friday night and at the matinee the latest operatic success, “Nanon,” will be given, and on Saturday night “The Mikndo.” The sale of seats begins this morning at tke box-office, and special attention is called to the prices. “Nanon” had a run of 500 nights in London, and 200 in New York. Harry Webber is doing a good business at the Museum in “Nip and Tuck.” This afternoon Chang, the Chinese giant, will give an Oriental tea party. At the Zoo, the Rentz-Santley company is drawing well and pleasing the audiences. Gathering Evidence for a Divorce. Night before last Margaret Van Doren called at Patterson’s stables for her husband, William, who is employed there as hostler. She asked him to accompany her home, but be gave as an excuse that it was his night for the late watch. The wife went away and had goue not more thaD a half square before she saw the b k band start off, she says, with hurried steps, for the eastern part of the city. She followed, and, gaining admittance to the house he entered, found him enjoying himself in a rear parlor. Van Doren was surprised at the entrance of hiß wife, and allowed her to berate him as much as she pleased. She left, and, concealing herself in an alley, had the satisfaction of seeing him driven away by the proprietress. Again she followed his footsteps, only to gather further evidence of his infidelity. With the assistance of a constable she gained an entrance to the second house he visited. Supplied with information, throogh personal observations, she did not let many hours elapse before she filed a suit for a divorce. This was done yesterday. An Escaped Indianapolis Crook. Kennedy, the crook who escaped from the jail during Sheriff Hess’s term, is thought to be iu custody at Cincinnati. He and a partner named Wilson were operating along the Cincinnati & Louisville Short line railroad. At Louisville several firms were robbed of diamonds and furs, the goods going into the keeping of Kennedy, who disposed of them in Cincinnati, at Mike Lipman’t pawn shop. He and Wilson, it is

charged, did considerable stealing in the lastnamed city, and the Louisville authorities let the Cincinnati officers have the man. About this time Superintendent Lang and Captain Colbert were negotiating with the Louisville officers for Kennedy, but they objected to his coming here. He had been convicted'before Judge Norton of robbing a Larmie, Neb., man on an L, B. & W. train, and was waiting sentence when he escaped from jail. An effort will be made to have him brought back to receive a long sentence. Tousey—Williams— Reynolds—Griffin.
