J)oast so many costly and tasty public structures.
rhc city, in its corporate capacity, can bein to claim
its full share of 1 his character of work. .None in the
United States of equal size can show a more perfect
ana commodious public ball, or better public marnet
facilities than will soon be offered. Our City Hospital has at last become one of the best equipped in the
land and an honor to the city. Tio much praise
cannot be given to its late superintendent for his work in building up the institution. We have engine
houses of good quality, and all we will need for many years. Our sewerage system has been nearly completed, although there are a few lines of sewer yet badly needed, and it is to be regretted that the ten-
cent special sewer-tax law ot leal was not tauen advantage of two years instead of one, before its repeal inl8s5. In securing the permanent iir pro vements, which have been in part referred to above, a large debt has been contracted, which will soon bejfinto mature in greater or less annual sums. Providing means to defray our necessary running expenses and pay the interest on this debt, and preparing to pay or refund the principal as it matures, is the matter which will most concern us and our successors for years to come. Indeed, there are no other difficult problems to solve in our municipal affairs, at this time, except these. On coming into office, we found a temporary loan of
$100,000, made in November, 1885, to make up deficiencies in the accounts of the retiring tieasurer and defray current expenses. This loan was paid at maturity, as the city's obligations have alway3 been. That amount has had to be again borrowed, however,' on account of many extraordinary expenses of the past year, but for which we would have been able to pay off the greater part of the former loan during the past year, without renewing it. When we entered upon our duties, a year ago, we found contracts already made, outside of the temporary loan before mentioned, calling for large appropriations, which we have had to provide for. Among these I may mention the following: For the erection of Tomlinson Hall, then partly completed, which has required an outlay since Jan. 1, 1H86, of $(57,200; steam heating for the City IIosnital,$(J,000; fire alarm patents (balance), $1,000. liunng the year we have also built the new market house, at a cost, to date, of over $30,000. It will thus be seen that over $100,000 has been paid out during the year for permanent improvements, and in this sum I do not include the Delaware-street sewer, the cedar block pavement, the Circle Park walks, and other like works. It will not be wondered at, therefore, that the finance committeee has had to borrow the $100,000 for six
and twelve months, negotiated last month, in practical
renewal of the temporary loan ot 188o. Neither will it seem strange if the committeee finds it necessary to make a still further loan o $liO,000 or $30,000 to carry the city over till the current taxes begin to
come in.
A full itemized report of our receipts and expendi
tures for the vear will be submitted to ycu by the treasurer and city clerk, and hence I will not attempt to go into particulars myself. It is sufficient for me to say, in a general way, that the public can not justly complain of your rear s work. It has only been by practicing strict economy in all matters wtere you could yourselves control the expenditures that you are
now able to make the very favorable showing which I
have in a stencral way outlined,
Our largest. outlays, even witlnn the regular course
of municipal affairs, have been quite beyond our con
trol. The expenditures in one of the most expensive
departments of the city government, is arbitrarily
placed by law in other hands. Several contracts, in
volvinsr large expenditures, had been already entered
into by our predecessors for a term of years, when the
financial outlook was more hopeful than it is now
These contracts have, of course, had to be fulfilled;
and all. with one possible exception, will have to be
still complied with, on tho same basis, to the end of
our term.
Then, again, our net annual interest account is more
than 100.000. In conjunction with your finance

to arrange to speedily refund at least a portion ot our
indebtedness. at a lower rate ot interest. In this,
however, we utterly failed. The holders of cur bonds
(even those who hold the $1 10,000 faring due Jan.
1, 1885.) decline to renew them at a lower rate, at
least until their maturity.
with these things clearly marked out tor our
guidance, it is plain what our duty will be the
coming year. While it may not be pleasant for
you to deny many needed improvements to your con
stituents, vet it is verv obvious that tew publio im
provements, in coin parison wilh former years, can be
made,
The action of the Board of Equalization at its meet
ing in July last, in reducing the appraisement of tax
able property in this eity and our future incomo over 11 per cent, as compared with former years, wiil hare the effect to cut down our revenues more than
$50,000 this year, and makes it necessary for tus to reduce expenses in every department where it can
posibly be done. 1 will not now otfer any sugges
tions aa to where i believe cuts should be made, but hope the official boards and committees regulating and coutrolincr expenditures will at once meet and thor
oughly discuss the present linaucial condition of tho city. After this has been done, estimates should bo
placed at the lowest possible amounts, and such re
ductions should then be made in the pay-rolls of the
departments as will certainly bring the
vnre expenditures within such estimates
In making calculations tor this year s
expenditures, no allowance should be made on account of any expected legislative relief at tho approaching
session or the (reneral Assembly; for such relief, it
given, will not likely become available until 1S88
And if, perehanco. some legislation of a spec:al char
acter should be procured which would increase our
revenues before the end of the year, tho extra suras
will all be needed to reduce or pay off the $70,000 of
our recent temporary loan falling due Dec. 15.
In this connection, 1 may be pardoned for indulging
tho hone that the Legislature, at its coming session, will take steps to carry out. at least, some features of the plan recently sucgested by Alderman Wright, in reference to adding more ground to the State-house
square for park purposes. By doing so now the State
could doubtless proenre enough ground to make a
park in keeping with the magnificent building it has erected, for a comparatively small outlay; and failing to do so wiil, I am suro, be a source of regret to ail the people of the State in the years to come.
Steps bave already been taken to nave the remain
ing pieces of the Tomlinson real estate, except the Dispensary lot. appraised, in anticipation of making
earlv sales of the same. I think the city should sell
this property as soon as possible, as it wul not be carrying out its agreement with Mrs. Tomlinson if it docs" not do so. Besides, the city has borrowed money
to finish paying forlomhnson Hall, which should be, as far a possible, replaced with the proceeds arising from the sale of this real estate. I understand, also, that there is likely to bo a good offer made for the
Dispensary lot soon. Jf this should be done, I would
recommend its sale, too; for, without expensive repairs, tho building will soon be utterly unfit for the ' r - 1 T .' - .1 T 1 J a. il
uses oi ine mspenary. nuu i nave uo uouui me city could readily rent rooms better suited for such pur
poses for less than the interest on the value of that
property. Among the improvements which cannot be much longer delayed, is that of Washington street for sev
eral squares, at least, along the busiest part thereof.
As it 14 unuerstoou that this improvement will
be made during the coming summer, I would suggest that th engineer be directed to at once begin the
work of preparing estimates of the cost of all the various kinds of material which have been spoken of in connection with the same, so that a meeting cf prop
erty-owners may be called soon to decide, if possible, what character of street shall be made, before the ordinance is introduced. In this connection I would suggest to the engineer, that he investigate the cost and durability of a fire-brick recently adopted at some tK)ints in the East, which was prominently referred to in one of our daily papers a short time ago. As no progress has been made toward getting a street-car line to Crown Hill since my last reference to this subject, I would recommend that . a committee be appointed to aid in any and every way possible toward securing such a line. One obstacle now in the way.
is the absence of a bridge over Fall creek on the line of Mississippi street. If the property -owners north of Twelfth street could b induced to improve the
street perhaps the county would build the bridge. With this done, I certainly think the Citizens' Street Railway Company would extend their Mississippi street lino to Crown Hill.
A special committee, such as I have hero suggested,
could present ail thee things to the proper person
and authorities, and could, I have no doubt, be
specially instrumental in securing this much-desired
Improvement to our city.
The city clerk reported orders drawn on the treasury for the month of December amounting
to $48,511.91. Tho clerk also submitted a report
of orders drawn on the treasurer fo the year 16SG. also a tabular statement of tbe bonded
indebtedness of the city, and an interest-coupon
statement showing the amount ox interest paja
ble each year, together with amount of tempo

Tha treasurer, II. W. Miller, submitted a report for tbe year, showing receipts amounting to 9dO,lC8.41. and expenditures, $953,729.75, leaving on Land a balance of $26,438.06. The City Hall committee reported the total rent for Tomlinson Hall, from its opening m June until Jan. 1, as $1,950. The expense of the hall, including heating of entire building and a few items of permanent improvement, amounted to $1,793.50. Mr. Pear?on moved that tha rental for Tomlinson Hall be fixed as follows: Political conventions, State and coutty, $50; political conventions, congressional and city, $35; balls, drills, etc., requiring removal of chairs, sinele day, $60; musical and literary entertainments at night, $30; musical and literary entertainments in daytime, $20. Provided, that all other character of entertainments, including all meetings for purely charitable purposes, may be fixed by the Mayor, president of the Board of Aldermen and city clerk, as heretofore. The motion was referred to the building committee. The usual ordinances were passed appropriating money for the fire and police departments, etc Tne yearly report of the chief fire engineer was received. It was a beautifully written document, prepared by department clerk Joseph L. Gaspar, being illustrated with a water color and pen-and-ink portrait of Chief Webster, a street scene showing the stringing of wires, etc., and was passed from hand to hand by tbe members, receivine great admiration. On motion of Sir. Cummines. a vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Gaspar for tbe report The recommendation of the chief fire engineer to buy a new standing ladder to reach tall buildings was, on motion of Mr. Haugh, referred to the fire committee. The Council then adjourned.

TUE QUO WARRANTO SUITS.
Trial cf the Cases to Besrin Before Judire
Howe To-Morrow Dr. Rooker's Answer.
The attorneys interested in the quo warranto
suits of William Irvin, criminal judge-elect, and
Dr. Theodore Wagner, coroner-elect, together with those representing the defendants, will
complete their arrangements for the trial, which
begins Wednesday. If the ballots and election papers can be obtained from the United States clerk, the first thing will be a recountins of the
votes by the attorneys, before Judge Howe, who is alone to try the case. The preparation of the new tabular sheets may delay the recount a day
or two, but it is thought everything will be in
readiness bv Wednesday. It is expected the
trial will continue through three week3. There
is to be no jury.
Dr. Hooker yesterday filed his answer to the
information filed by Dr. Wagner, and after re
citing his appointment to the coroner's office by
the County Commissioners, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. Stratford, alleges
that tbe relator, Wagner, is not entitled to the office, and was not at the time of the election, because he was not an elector of Marion county
at that time. The respondent claims that Dr. Frank Morrison, on the returns made by the canvassiDg board, had a majority of twenty-two
votes, and that it was so certified to the Governor, who issued a commission to Morrison.
Hut as Morrison did not qualify, as provided by
the statute, the respondent continues as the legal coroner, because there was no fraudulent or
altered returns of the vote of the first precinct of the Twenty-third ward, which Wagner alleges as the cause of Morrison's majority. On
that return the relator had only 120 votes, while Morrison had 278. He further charges that in
each and every precinct of the countv ten illegal
votes were cast for Wagner. To this Waenerl
filed a reply to the effect that illegal votes were cast for Morrison, and he denied the charge of
the respondent Rooker.
CIVIL-SERVICE LEGISLATION.
Provisions of a Bill To Be Submitted to.the
General Assembly for Enactment. The State Civil-service Reform Association
has prepared a bill to be presented to the Legislature. The bill provides for four commissioners two from each of the two parties casting
the greatest number of votes at the last preceding general election. They are to hold no
other official place under the State of Indiana. The Governor shall be ex officio a civil-service
commissioner, and in case of a tie have the casting vote; each commissioner, except the Governor, to be paid $5 a day for each day actually employed, besid& traveling and other necessary expenses. Tho commission shall prepare rules for the selection of persons to fill offices in the State which are required to be filled by appointment, aud for the selection of persons to be employed in the service of the State. No person, under penalty, 6hall solicit or receive contributions for political purposes, nor be threatened or coerced in any way for refusing to contribute for such purposes. There are to be open competitive and other examinations for entrance into the service and promotion, preference, other things beine equal, to be given to honorably discharged Union soldiers. There i3 to be a chief examiner, who is to be sec
retary of the commission, nnd receive a salary of $2,000. The service is to be classified three months after the act shall take effect, and after that no person shall be appointed or admitted to or promoted to any office or place, until j;e has passed an examination. No elective offices are
to be classified nor any place of appointment requiring the confirmation of the Senate. It also provides that any city may, at any time, by resolution of its municipal government, place itself under the provisions of this act and its service be filled in accordance therewith.
Consolidation of Conferences. At their regular meeting, yesterday moraine,
the Methodist ministers elected the following officers:
President E. B. Rawls. Vice-president J. W. Duncan. Secretary C. W. Tinsley. Treasurer W. F. Sheridan. The question of consolidating the Indiana and
Southeast Indiana conferences was brought up for consideration by Rev. Hal3tead. Messrs. W. R. Halstead, J. W. Duncan and Levi Ritterwere
appointed a committee to canvass the members and report in two weeks on the feasibility of holding a mass-meeting, at Meridian-street
Church, to act upon tbe matter.
"In the investigation of the St Louis express robbery," said John J. Henderson, agent of the Adams express in this city, "a'greatmany clews of suspected persons were given the company. Among these was a curious one from this place. About the first of last October I noticed a man about the depot whose movements were very suspicions. He was there dav after
day, morning, noon and night, and 1 could see that he was furtively watching the movements of the messengers and others. I thought ha must be a thief or was piping for some one. 1 pointed him out to the men, one after another. I finally thought I would make his acquaintance. I went to him and asked if ' he was looking for work. Ho said he was a carpenter; didn't want steady work, but would like do do odd jobs. I promised to see what I could do for him. After that I had several talks with him and gained his confidence. Finally he told me that he was acquainted with a number of prominent thieves, some of whom had been engaged in express robberies in Missouri, Kansas and Texas. One noted thief of this kind had been a comrade of his in the army. At length he told me that he understood there was a reward of $10,000 for this man, who came to this city occasionally, and when he came made his, the
carpenters, house his headquarters. I his whilom express robber, he said, had grown elderly, and was now one of a gang engaged in horse-stealing and store breaking in Jennings, Ripley and other counties in southern Indiana. He wanted to know of me if there was any way
to work it to give up these men and get the reward. I told him I had no recollection of anv
reward being offered for such a person, but 1
could inquire. The next night I saw him at the
depot, about 10 o'clock. He seemed to be wait
ing for the Big Four train to come up. He took
me to one side and told me he had important information, and that I must never give him away.
"He then said an arrangement had been made
to rob an express car. Bear in mind, said Mr.
Henderson, pausing in his narrative, "that it
was on the 7th day of October that this con
versation occurred. He said that two of the men who were to commit the robbery were those
he had been talking of: that information was to be furnished by the express messenger as to
when he would have a heavy run of money. He
said a messenger was in this scheme and that
the robbery would occur in two weeks. He said
it would happen near St Louis, and would be in
a car occupied solely by the express company not a mixed mail and express car. My carpenter
friend could not tell the road or the express
company to be robbed, except that it would
be near St Louis. The names of the
men who had been here, but who had
gone away again, I recognized as old express
thieves, and, while doubting very much
the truth of his story, I thought it best to com
municate with our superintendent at St Louis.
I also wrote to C. T. Campbell, of the Texa3 express, andL. A. Fuller,6uperintendent of the Pa
cific express. William H. Damsel, superintendent
of the Adam3 express, replied that ho did not recognize the names sent him, and had turned my
letter over to a detective agencv in St. Louis.
The agency answered that they recognized the
names, and if the men were wanted to let them
know. Mr. Fuller, of the Pacific express, re
plied that the names were recognized that they
were not engaged in any robbery of the Pacific,
but he thought thev were connected with a rob
bery, years ago. of the Texas express. Mr.
Campbell, of the Texas, replied that one of the names was that of a man connected with a gang
operating in Texas that had robbed the Texas
express; that five of the gang had been killed,
one had gone to State's prison for a long term,
and this one had been wounded and supposed to
be dead, but by careful nursing had. It seems.
recovered; that if we had him in Indiana to keep him here, for it was so long since the robbery had occurred it would be difficult to get evidence together again. "My depot acquaintance told me that one of the men of whom he spoke had been wounded and then carried a pistol-ball in his body. Not hearing anything more and thinking the whole affair a story of the cock-and-bull variety, I filed all the correspondence away. On the 26th of October, nineteen days after, my depot ac quaintance made his disclosures, the news came of the robbery of $80,000 on the Adams express car on the 'Frisco road near St Louis. I then made a bundle of all the papers I had, correspondence and all, and sent it over to the
Adams superintendent at !rt. Ijouis, who, in turn, submitted it to Mr. Pinkerton. The matters talked of by this man here almost tailed in time and place with the facts in the robbery at St. Louis, especially in the manner of doing it. Pinkerton detailed one of his best men to come here. He stayed a week, and found out a great deal about the operations of these two
men in Indiana, but could not connect them with the 'Frisco robbery, clews leading in another and more probable direction having turned up. "Now I don't know whether to call this a coincidence or what to call it Certain it is, information that the robbery was to occur was sent quite a while before it did take place. Another thing. Fotheringham, the express messenger, from whom the money was taken by 'Jim Cummings,' describes to a dot tbe appearance of -one of the men whose names were given me by ray carpenter friend, who was not concerned in the robbery at all. My opinion is there were two sets of thieves, each planning a robbery to take place on an exprees car running into St Louis. Each had about the same plan, and the two gangs were working each without knowledge of the other, and 'Jim Cummings' got in first One of the two men given away to me by my acquaintance is now in the jail at Lebanon on a charge of burglary, I believe, and the other and more dangerous man is still at large. It's queer, though, isn't if"
