BASSETT & CO. THE CITY’S FINANCES. A Temporary Loan of $33,000 from the County Treasurer Negotiated for Immediate Use. The Council finance committee has decided to borrow $33,000 from County Treasurer Miller for the January current expenses, paying therefor 5 per cent interest “This is due,” said Mayor Denny, yesterday, “to the uncertainty as to the amount of money ex-City Treasurer Pafctieon will be able to turn over. It is expected that his settlement with the eity clerk will be made in a few days, but the money is needed at once, and we did not have time to negotiate a loan in the East” “Will this action be considered as a withdrawal of the city officers from their position that the county treasurer must operate under the old laws as to his dealings with the city funds?” “Ne. Os course, what is to be done in that matter rests with Council, and there is no doubt but that a test suit will be brought; but, in the meantime, the city must hare money. As the county treasurer the city can get none from Mm on the collections now being made, until he receives the apportionment from the county auditor in April, you see we are compelled to borrow. This $33,000 is to be made payable on the Ist of May, directly after the finoney is due ihe city, according to Treasurer Miller. To meet the monthly expenses up to that time, I am authorised to communicate with Eastern bankers as to the rates of interest and the possibility' of effecting loans in that quarter. These must be made until the taxes are available.” ‘There are, also, a #IOO,OOO and several other temporary loaas of less amount out?” Yet. The fIOO.OOO loan falls due about three weeks before the taxes can be utilised. This will nscessitate a renewal of that loan until pome time in November, when it can be met by collections in that month. The taxes available In April will be sufficient only to pay current expenses and the taking up of the smaller loans. is difficult, under the semi-annual payment of taxes, to get -sufficient money to clear off all fhese loans at once. If yearly taxes were paid pt one tfrae the money eould be had. When the f IOO,000 and other loans were negotiated this tflk-ulty in making the taxes available at once yu not anticipated.” To-Day 4 * Y, M. C. A. Services. At the V. M. C. A. rooms, Rev. R. E.

TRYING TO BULLBOZE DENNY An Unseemly Wrangle in the Municipal Joint Convention Last Night. The Democrats, Headed by Blnstering Sim Coy, Make an Unsuccessful Attempt to Prevent Mayor Denny from Voting. THE JOINT CONVENTION. After a Wrangle Which Comes Near Developing Into a Bow, It Adjourns. The Board of Aldermen and Common Council met in the Council Chamber in joint convention, for the ‘purpose of selecting the various city boards. A breezy session was expected, but that some members were to be turbulent far beyond the bounds of decency was not expected. As Mr. Herig did not caucus with the Republicans, it was generally understood that he had been seen by the Democrats and that they had him. , Mayor Denny called the convention to order with the remark that he did so without assuming that he had any better right than any other member of either of the two bodies to do so. Mr. Rooker moved that Mayor Denny be elected permanent chairman. Mr. Mack placed in -.nomination the name of John Rail. Mr. Coy—l call for the yeas and nays. Alderman King—Wouldn’t it be better to elect a temporary chairman first? After some squabbling. Mayor Denny was chosen temporary chairman, and City Clerk Shields as secretary. Mr. Rooker attempted to renew his motion that the Mayor be made permanent chairman. Mr. Reinecke moved a call of the roll to see who were present - The clerk called the roll of aldermen, each of whom, ten in number (Mr. Prier having arrived), answered “Present.” and then called the names of the twenty-five councilmen, each of whom also responded “Present,” but stopped at the name of the mayor, and did not call it Mr. Thalman—l call the name of the mayor as a member—the clerk should call his name. The mayor and I respond “Present.” Alderman Schmidt—l offer my protest After some disorder the protest was read. It was as follows: “To His Honor, the President, and Members of the Joint Convention of the Common Council and Board of Aldermen: “Gentlemen—The undersigned members of this joint convention hereby protest to the name of our mayor, Caleb S. Denny, being called in the joint convention of said bodies for the purpose of voting for any officer or boards to be elected by the joint convention, for the reason that said mayor has no right to cast a vote in a joint convention of said bodies under our statutes. “Lorenz Schmidt, C. H. Stuckmeyer. “Simeon Coy. Frank M. Dell. “Thomas Markey. Fred J. Mack. “Michael J. Burns. Isaac Kino. “Julius F. Reinicke.” Alderman Pritchard—lf there is a question as to the mayor’s right to vote it may as well be settled now. It is perfectly clear the mayor is not a member of the Board of Alderman (murmurs of approval from the Democrats]. I hold here the Statutes in which Section 30% provides that “the mayor and common eouncilmen shall constitute the Common Council.” The“common councilmen,” without the “mayor,” is then no more the Common Council without the mayor than the mayor is the Common Council without the common councilmen. The mayor is clearly a member of the Common Council by statute. [Uneasiness and murmurs of disapproval from the Democratic side of the house.] Section 3054 of the statute provides that the “Common Council and Board of Aldermen” shall meet in “joint convention.” The organized bodies meet in joint convention. It being fixed that the mayor is a member of the Council, he is, necessarily, a member of the joint convention, because the Common Council is a part -of the joint convention. Being a member of the joint convention, he is entitled to vote like any other. member. A motion that the mayor shall not vote is as much out of order and as illegal as a motion that any other member of the Council shall not vote is out of order and illegal. Alderman Schmidt—l offer my protest. It was moved to lay the protest on the table, on which Mr. Coy demauded the yeas and nays. The clerk, who did not call the mayor’s name, announced the vote—yeas 17, nays 18, Mr. Herig, elected as a Republican, voting with the Democrats. Mr. Coy moved to adopt the protest. Mr. Pearson moved to refer it to a committee of five. C? v moved to lay Mr. Pearson's motion on the table. Mr. Pearson’s motion was tabled —yeas 18, nays 17. Mr. Herig, elected as a Republican, again voting with the Democrats. Mr. Thalman moved,as a substitute for the Schmidt protest, that “Itis the sense of this convention that the mayor is a member of the same, and has a right to vote on all matters that may come before it” The yeas numbered 18 and nays 18, and the mayor insisted upon voting on the question. Mr. Herig again voted with the Democrats. Mr. Rooker —It seems the man we have by courtesy elected secretary refuses to call the name of the mayor. I would like to know by prerogative he leaves the mayor’s name out. Sim Coy—That's all Fteht; the clerk is all right; don’t you bother about that Here Mr. Coy danced out in front arid took charge of the Democratic members. Mr. Pritchard moved to adjourn. On this motion Mr. Herig again voted with the Democrats. The motion was lost, Mr. Thalman calling the name of the mayor—yeas 18, nays 18. Another attempt was made to bring up the Schmidt protest. The mayor decided that at that stage of the proceedings its consideration was out of order. Mr. Coy called out loudly for an appeal from the decision of the chair. Mr. Schmidt said it was for this body to say whether it would or would not sustain the protest. At this there was great confusion, hut the hardcider voice of Councilman Coy was heard shrieking high above the embattled hosts. Finally Alderman King wag heard to say that he did not like to take an appeal from the chair. The Mayor—Oh, you need not have any delicacy on that point Mr. Coy—Oh, no; there’s no necessity to be nice about it Alderman Pritchard moved that, “as the statute provides that the mayor and common councilmen shall constitute the Common Council, and, whereas, the clerk refuses to call the name of the mayor, that he also do not call the name of the common councilmen.” Mr. Coy ibterrupted to say ‘hat Mr. Pritchard had been defeated by one vote. Mr. Pritchard—l had a majority of one until Mr. Coy and his colleagues broke the ballotboxes open. Mr. Coy moved to lay Alderman Pritchard’s motion on the table. Carried —yeas 18, nays 17 —Mr. Herig again voting with the Democrats, and the mayor not voting. Mr. Swain —I presume that all here want tc be law-abiding citizens in whatever they do. I therefore offer the following: “Moved, That this question as to whether the mayor is a member of this joint convention and entitled to vote be referred to Judge N. B. Taylor, and that we abide by his decision.” Mr. Coy—l move to lay that on the table. Mr. Pearson moved to adjourn, which motion failed, Mr. Herig again voting with the Democrats. Mr. Coy—l demand that the clerk call the roll on that protest Call the roll! [Very excitedly.] Call the roll! The Mayor—The motion is to lay Mr. Swain’s motion on tho table. Mr. Thalman—lf Mr. Schmidt is honest, as he says he is, and only wants done what is right and fair, he will not vote against this matter going to Judge Taylor, who is ot his political party. Mr. Swain’s motion was tabled—yeas 18, nays 17, Mr. Herig again voting with the Democrats. In the meantime Mr. Coy explained: “Simply because the gentleman from the Second ward

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1886.

names a Democratic judge is no reason why this side of the house wants that judge to try our case.” Daring the parliamentary tassel that followed Mr. Herig, on three more votes, again voted with the Democrats. Mr. Coy moved the previous question, and Mr. Pearson moved, as an amendment to the Schmidt protest thus called up, that the clerk place Mayor Denny’s came to the roll as a member of the body. Tho Democrats—and Mr. Herig—fell into the trap, and, voting Mr. Pearson's amendment down, took all with it. An appeal wa3 takeu from the decision of the chair. The chair was not sustained, Mr. Herig again voting with the Democrats. The Schmidt protest was finally voted upon, the clerk refusing to call the mayor’s name, the mayor insisting upon voting and Mr. Herig again voting with his new-found friends, the Democrats. The clerk started to announce the result from a Democratic stand point, when the mayor promptly pronounced it a tie—yeas 18, nays 18. It was then agreed to go into the election of a permanent president. Mr. Rooker nominated the mayor, Caleb S. Denny, Mr. Mack nominated Alderman John Rail. Conncilmen Rooker and Howes were appointed tellers to collect the votes as the name of each member was called. The mayor, the clerk refusing, called his own name and dropped his ballot into the hat. The clerk, as he began to announce tho vote, was prompted by Mr. Coy, who had moved far from his seat, and taken a place before the clerk’s desk. “There’s one vote too many.” howled Coy. With the mayor’s vote the ballot stood a tie—lß to 18 —Mr. Herig having again voted with the Democrats. Mr. Coy howled again: “Mr. Rail, yon are elected. Come and take your seat! You’re elected chairmau, I say. Come and take your seat!” By this time Coy had got within three or four steps of the platform upon which the mayor was seated. Three or four Republicans had moved over to the corner and the glittering eyes and clenched fists looked as though a fight would result if Coy persisted. At this point Mr. Rail rose, and, in measured tones and without any appearance of excitement, said: “Under the circumstances gentlemen I will not take the seat This has not been an election.” This brought out a great clapping of hands from the Republican side, and the excitement, which lor a moment was dangerous, was speedily allayed. The mayor then said he wanted it distinctly understood that he did not come insisting upon his rieht to cast a vote except for the sole reason that he believed himself entitled by law to do so. and so holding, it was his duty to cast it, but he would be more than willing to submit the question to the judge named. “Let us adjourn this joint convention,” he said, “to a time far enough in the future to have ray right to vote decided.” Alderman Schmidt —1 think we must stick to the decision of the chair. I think now that Mr. Swain’s proposition should be adopted. [Applause.] It was finally agreed that Mr. Swain and Aiderman Schmidt present the question of the right of the mayor to vote to the three judges of the Superior Court. An effort was then made to go on and appoint the various boards, the Democrats being for some reason anxious to proceed. But their attention was called to the fact that the question as tc the mayor's right to vote would again come up, and the wrangle over that would be resumed. The anxiety of the Democrats to proceed leaked out. They had fixed the board of public improvements with two Republicans and with Sim Coy as chairman, the board standing Coy. Herig and Reynolds. With the record of Mi\ Herig, as made last night, he was not as a North Side Councilman put it, even a “two-fer” Republican, and they did not care to trust the city’s interests to an important board made up in that way. Mr. Reynolds was all right, but good as he is, he could not balance the other two. The convention adjourned to meet on next Monday evening at 8 o’clock.

TOE NEW BOARD. Alderman Endly Elected President, and the Standing Appointed, - The new Board of Aldermen met last night An understanding had been arrived at by which the session was brief, quiet and uneventful. There were but nine members present—Marcus L. Bro'jn, Thomas E. Endly, James A. Pritchard and Granville S. Wright, Republicans, and John S. Crosby, Isaac King, Henry W. Laut, John Rail and Lorenz Schmidt, Democrats. Henry J. Prier, Republican, arrived a moment after the adjournment of the board. Mr. Endly was chosen president and Mr. King vice-president of the board, and Joseph T. Fanning’s nomination as clerk was confirmed. On taking the chair President Endly said: In assuming the duties of the office to which you have elected me, I desire to return to you my thanks for the honor conferred. I indeed esteem it an honor, and especially when it was known that I was not an applicant for the position, but desired that some other be I hope and believe that eaca member of this board fully realizes the great importance of an economical expenditure of the public revenue. I recommend that all propositions by which the city will or may become , obligated for the payment of money be referred to the proper and appropriate committees for a full and complete investigation. Few measures are of such great importance that immediate action will be necessary. The people have a right to know what we are proposing to do, and they have a right to sufficient time to become acquainted with proposed legislation, that thereby they may be the better able to instruct U3 who are their representatives. No argument is so effective against a vicious proposition as time and the public press. I shall hope and expect to receive from each and every member their earnest and cordial support President Endly then named the following standing committees: Contracts and Bridges—Wright, Prier and Schmidt Finance Accounts and Claims—Schmidt, Laut and Brown. Fire Department—Prier, Wright and King. Hospital and Dispensary—Prier, Brown and Laut Judiciary and Ordinances—Pritchard, Wright and Schmidt Markets and Public Property—Crosby, King and Brown. Police Department—Brown, Wright and Rail. Printing and Office-fixtures and Supplies— Prier. Brown and King. Public Light and Education—King, Laut and Pritchard. Railroads and Public Charities—Laut, Schmidt and Brown. Rules—Eadly, King and Wright. Streets and Alleys, and Sewers and Drainage —Schmidt Rail and Prier. Water and Public Health—Rail, Crosby and Pritchard. Mr. Wright offered the following, which was adopted: Moved, that a committee consisting of two aldermen, and fthree councilmen, the president of the Board, the mayor, the city attorney, the city civil engineer and three citizens, to be designated by the mayor, be appointed for the purpose of ascertaining and reporting back to the Board of Aldermen and the Common Council, the best plan for the acccommodation of the business interests of The city from delays and relief of citizens from the dangers of railroad crossings; and particularly to inquire into the practicability of lowering the railroad tracks so‘as to enable the city to bridge the same, if necessary, at each street and alley crossing, and if necessary to carry out this purpose, to consider the propriety of sewering Pogue’s run and widening the present right of way of the railroad companies through the city. The said committee is requested to invite the co-operation of the railroad companies. The Board then adjourned to meet with the Council in joint convention. Growing Interest in the Viaduct. City Engineer Shearer says the viaduct question is growing in interest. He will shortly begin the drawings of a structure of that kind adapted to Virginia avenue. From this it is thought the committee to be appointed by the mayor, under instructions ot the Council, can make approximate estimates and figure very nearly the cost of the enterprise.

A MISSING BALLOT-BOX FOUND. The Discovery Made by Two North Pennsyl-vania-Street Druggists in Their Cellar. Day before yesterday the junior member of the firm of Driggs & Tarkington, druggists, No. 63 North Pennsylvania street, was in the cellar under their store. He had a man there cleaning up the rubbish, and in the midst of the heterogeneous collection one usually finds in such places, a box with the bottom somewhat decayed, and the top and sides covered with mildew, was found under the steps. It would have been easy to break the bottom, but the lid was securely locked. Mr. Tarkingtou had it set aside for further inspection* Yesterday he had another look at it, which confirmed his impression that the box had been used at some election as a receptacle for ballots. Who put it there, and how long it had been covered with cellar refuse he could not say. The box suggested a mystery and refused to give any information concerning itself except when being shaken the rattle of paper inside told the character of its contents. There is no label or mark on it, and until the lid is raised conjecture only can serve to lead to its identity. This morning the box will be opened, probably by Township Trustee Kitz, who has been informed of the discovery and the likelihood that it is one of the ballotboxes used at an election within the past four years, and for which energetic search has been made. In the Hess-Lemon shrievalty contest of November, 1882, the ballot-box of the -Second precinct, Twelfth ward, mysteriously disappeared when the recounting commissioners wanted it. A great deal of speculation was rife at the time as to who carried the box away. Its last appearance in public was when two men had it in charge on the way to Trustee Kitz’s office. It never reached that ffiace. For a long time little use has been made of the cellar where Mr. Tarkington found it. The former tenant, Mr. Aughinbaugh, also a druggist, generally left the rear door to the cellar so that anyone could easily push it open. The door had gone into decline and hung lightly on its hinges. It is supposed the box was carried there the night of the election, and has been gathering mold and secrecy about it ever since. THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS. Prof. Roberts’s Lecture to the Young People on Andrew Jackson’s Great Victory. The sixth lecture in the young people’s historical course was given yesterday afternoon by Professor J. B. Roberts. The stage was adorned by a silhouette portrait of Andrew Jackson, eight feet high, and two maps—one of the United States, and one of the vicinity of New Orleans. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather the house was filled. The lecturer reviewed the causes of the war of 1812, showing that Napoleon’s hand was felt even in American affairs. He called attention to the fact that the battle of New Orleans was fought fifteen days after peace had been declared in Europe. This furnished an excellent opportunity for contrasting the means of communication existing to-day with those at Jackson’s command seventy-one years ago. The great interest attaching to the battle of New Orleans is, that it unified the country at a time when there was a great difference between the sections. No other event, in the early days of tho United States, did more towards creating a national feeling. The next leeture in the course will be given next Friday, at 4:15 o’clock, by Mrs. Eliza C. Bell, whose subject will be: “The Voyage of the Half Moon.”

Disposing of Civil-Service Applicants. Two years ago F. D. Welsh, now employed as a clerk in the county auditor’s office, applied for examination for a government civil service position. The first communication he received from the commission was yesterday. It came from Secretary Graham, in the form of a circular letter, stating that there were more applicants on record from Indiana than are likely to be examined daring the next six months. Then it went on to say, “You are hereby notified that your name, being six months or more on the list of applicants, has been dropped from the same.” Mr. Welsh must renow his application if he still wishes to be examined. This is an enforcement of Clause 3, Rule 13. — —— A Consolidation of Railroads. Articles were filed with the Secretary o£ State, yesterday, consolidating the Toledo <fc Southwestern and the Toledo, Kokomo & St. Louis railway companies, the capital stock of the new corporation being fixed at $8,000,000. The new company will bo known by the name of the Toledo, Kokomo & St. Louis, and it is proposed to extend the line to St Loui3. fAttaching: a Burlesque Company. The Hasseltnan-Journal Company yesterday filed suit in the Superior Court against M. B. Leavitt and the new Company, now playing at the Zoo. It is to recover $351.50 alleged to be due on an account for printing. An attachment was issued to secure money said to be due the defendant by Kelly & Smith, proprietors of the theater. Sheriff Carter’s BUI Disallowed. Sheriff Carter’s bill for The support of certain prisoners he refused to turn over to the County Commissioners, to be confined in the Workhouse, was disallowed yesterday. He will begin suit at once to recover the sum that he says ought to be paid him.
