Too Much Advice About the New TaTement Contract Ferplexes the Council Committee. The contract committee of the Council is still unable to agroo upon a recommendation regarding the awarding: of the contract for the Washington-Street improvement. Another meeting of the committee vf as held yesterday, and at its :lose the members were farther from a conclulion than at the beginning. The agent of the Claflen company was present, again renewed his proposition to do the work, assume all responsibilities for the collection of the amount lue from the street railway company, and pat down not less than two squares of the pavement this falL Samuel Delzell was present in behalf of some of the property-holders, and made the itatement that three-fourths of the property'solders were not in favor of the improvement being made according to the ordinance, as passed. s It was their desire, he said, to call anDtber public meeting and decide upon another kind of pavement There were other propertyholders preseut who were in favor of the kind of pavement agreed upon, but thought it would be better to again advertise for bids. There were ltill others who urged that if the work was not Qnished now it would probably not be done for ten years, and favored the letting of the contract to the Clafln I'aving Company as the next lowest bidder. With such a Tariety of suggestions the committee was unable to agree upon anything, and adjourned without taking any action. "The only thing we can do is to go among the property-holders ourselves," said a member- of the committee, "and that is what we shall do between now and Monday night. We shall recommend whatever a majority of those most interested suiiKest" There will be another meeting of the committee between now and Monday evening, pnrhaps Saturday evenine, when a report will be agreed upon. A meeting of all the property-holders interested in the proposed improvement will be held in the Council chamber on Saturday evening. Didn't Know lie Was Kern from Kokomo. John W. Kern, with his hands in his pantaloons pockets and with every button on his semi-cutaway accurately in its bole, while his eoat tails were snugly held within either arm as be leaned against the entrance to the Bates House, yesterday afternoon said: "I don'tknow iboul my delivering an address to the President. don't think my relations with him warrant me m paying any marked attention to him when he lomei here." "Why, John? What's the matter with you and the only Democratic President we have had 'n twenty-five years?" inquired Dick Johnson. "Matterl Slather enough,' retorted Kern, as be let a coat tail drop while he caressed his Fandvke whiskers. "I was in Washington not long ago, and loafed about the lirisres House four days, expecting the President to call, but tte did not evnn bend nio his card." "That's all right. John.

Ross and Sergeant Charles Walsh will be given at the Athletic Club grounds to-morrow afternoon. At 3:45 o'clock. The combat is described by papers in cities where it has been seen as a very thrilling encounter. The com batants are mounted, and the contest is for points. On Wednesdav evening a tramp applied to Charles Q. Walter, a dairyman on Brinkman street, for work. Mr. Walter agreed to give him a trial. Yesterday morning when the family arose the new laborer had fled and a pocketbook belonging to another of Mr. Walters em ployes, containing $37, was missing, besides a suit of clothing and other wearing apparel. MYSTERIOUS SHOTS AND SCREAMS. A report cams to the etation-house after 1 o'clock last eight that some one had been shet in a quarrel near the corner of Virginia avenue and Pine street, but an investigation by Captain Colbert and the reporters failed to verify it. The officers in that district and many of the citizens said they heard four shots in rapid succession, about 12 o'clock, and soon afterward several screams, apparently from a woman, but they knew no more. STRCCK OVER THE HEAD WITH A SAW. Samuel Gephart, an old man who earns a living by sawing wood, was locked in the stationhouse yesterday afternoon for striking Clark Monteitb, another laborer, over the head with his saw. They were on the Market together hunting work, when a citizen told them that he had ten cords of wood that ho wanted sawed. Both claimed the right to do the work, and in the dispute Gephart brought his saw down upon Monteith's head, cutting a gash to the ekulL DEAD INFANTS FOUND IN THE RIVER. The remains of two infants have been found along the banks of White river be low the Vincennes bridge during the last week, and both had evidently been killed.

Its skull was fractured, and its body bore marks of violence. The coroner s verdict was that the infant came to its death from violence inflicted by unknown persons. The police are inventigating the case, and think they have a clew that will lead to the arrest of the guilty parties. MORE NEW OAS WELLS. E. B. Martindale and his associates, who bad the luck to get a well in the Greenfield region equal to the first got in that locality, selected the sites yesterday for two new wells. They are near the one recently drilled and are in a straight lfea in the direction of the city. The sites are about a half mile apart Mr. Martindale says that for piping purposes no better physical conditions can be found, as the line would go through an entirely level country from here to Greenfield. It was mentioned, last night, as a bit of current gossip that a prominent South Meridian street-merchant had offered to bet a large sum that the eity would have gas before the year was out. He is a stockholder in the Indianapolis Natural-gas Company. Items from the Courts. A WIFK-DESERTER'S PUNISHMENT. Joseph Mambaugh was fined $30 and C03ts by 'Squire Feibleman yesterday, for deserting his wife.

No one volunteered to go bis bail, and he went to jail. FINED FOR VIOLATING SANITARY LAWS. The feature of special interest in the Mayor's court yesterday was the trial of Doctors Jeffries and Williams, charged with neglecting to report contagious diseases to the health officer, and C. W. Uorsuch and Charles E. CofSn, rental agents, for refusing to remove filth from property in their charge. Dr. Jeffries claimed that be had prepared a return, but had forgotten tosend it to the health office. The evidence showed that he had always been prompt here tofore, and he was discharged. Dr. Williams pleaded guilty and was fined $1 and costs. Charles iu. (Jo run also pleaded gamy and was fined, but Mr. Gorsuch claimed that he had mis understood his instructions and was discharged. Health Officer Crane says there are a great many other physicians and rental agents who are careless about obeying the sanitary laws, and be proposes to file charges against all cf them unless they become more prompt. SIX MORE TELEPHONE SUIT3. In the United States Court, yesterday, six ad ditional suits were filed by the American Bell Telephone Company and the Central Union Company against users of the Cushman instrument in LaPorte county. The defendants ore John II. Organ, Charles C. Miller, Charle3 Darrow, Jacob Hill, King & Fidder, of LaPorte, and A R. Colborn, of Michigan City, and in junction and damages are prayod for in each case. The Central Union Company now has 775 instruments here under the toll system. This is only 225 short of what the company had before the trouble arose about the enforcement of the telephone law. It may be of interest to the gentlemen who organized the Wallace Telenhone Company in this city at that time to know that, according the Winnepeg Call, a Wal lace Company m that place failed and that tcose who were induced to go into it are regretting their investment. The plant of Wallace's Winnepeg Company is now in the sheriff's hands. Manufacturing and Industrial News. Ilolliday & Wyon, harness manufacturers, are now shipping goods to Arkansas.

Electricity as a motive power is now confined principally to street-car service and the driving of light machinery like sewing machines. That it is destined to come into more common use is erideuced bv the fact that a complete flouring mill will be erected at Laramie, Wyoming, which will be driven exclusively by electric motors. The mill machinery entire will be made, delivered and set up by the Nordyke& Marraon Company, of ibis city. Two motors, each of twentyhorsa powe will be used, one for driving the machinery on the first and second floors, and the other for driving the machinery above these floors.

COLORED REPUBLICANS ORGANIZE. The Porter-Denny Club's First Meeting Ad dresses by the Mayor and Others. The Porter-Denny Club, an organization of colored Republicans, held its first formal meeting last night, in the rooms of the party's city central committee, in the When Block. In canvassing for members of the club seventy-two were readily obtained, and more than half that number met to elect officers and hear spirited speeches on the issues involved in the municipal campaign. Mayor Denny, whose name appears in the title of the organization, was there and spoke briefly. He commended the colored people for what they had done in the past in assisting the Republican party to many of its victories in this city. He had assurances that their interest in the coming election, like that of other good citizens, was intensified by a desire to do all that would thwart the schemes of men who wished to control the city for their own selfish purpose. These purposes were not of the best, for ail of them centered in giving power to ono of the worst political gangs that ever disgraced a community. Hence, all efforts to defeat the ring meant something higher and better than political considerations. To know how this ring of a few would operate it was only necessary to look back a few months and observe its actions in nominating a city ticket. The Democratic executive1 committee, which is smaller in number than that party's central committee, and comprises only those who shape its affairs for others to support without a chance to protest, met and created the ticket. A convention was called, of course, but it had no more voice in representing the Democratic party than the speaker or those whom he addressed. That convention was selected 6imply to ratify what the Democratic executive committee had done. Every delegation had its cue from the leaders to give a unanimous support to the nominee chosen by the committee. It was a mere ratification, not a nomination, and showed the power of the ring. Such an act was without parallel in politics in this county, but he believed that the ring would find its schemes wrecked by the disapprobation of the people to be expressed at the polls. The Mayor was glad to observe the interest taken feus far by the colored Republicans. It would increase irameasureably, no doubt, and make the success of the Republican ticket a certainty. Speeches by other visitors were made, all of which were directed to the necessity of organization. Members of the club, G. W. Cheatham and Alex. A. Jones, also made stirring addresses, which caused, aB did the other speeches, enthusiastic applause. During this part of the proceedings John Owens presided, but at the close permanent officers were elected, as follows: President George W. Cheatham. First Vice-president Felix Davis. i Second Vice-president Jacob Franklin. " Secretary J. W. Winn. Treasurer Mansur Watkins. Executive Board A. A. Jones, Albert Farley and Richard Wilson. Hergeant-at-arms Samuel Hadle'y. The club will hold weekly meetings, on Wednesday nights, and after the election it proposes to k6ep up its organization for work preparatory to the campaign of next year. A DISAPPOINTED MAIDEN'S SUIT.Miss Mary Robinson Demands $5,000 from Edmond Zoller for Breach of Promise. During 1S8G Miss Mary V. Robinson became the private secretary of Edmond Zoller, an agent for consumption medicine, who has an office in the Martindale block. After a time she became a partner in his business, but a few weeks ago she withdrew and brought surety of peace pro. ceeding against Mr. Zoller in Justice Judkins s couit. The case was compromised before it came to trial, but Miss Robinson renewed proceeding against Mr. Zoller yesterday by bringing suit for breach of promise, and demanding $5,0C0. She alleges in the complaint that she has known Zoller for three years. In March, 1SS0, their acquaintance ripened into love, and shortly after they agreed to marry. The time was finally fixed in November, 1836, and the plaintiff made her preparations for the event. When the time came Mr. Zoller, the says, indefinitely postponed the wedding, and subsequently refused to carry out the contract. In expectation of rewards upon becoming his wife, she placed at his disposal all the money ehe had, which he invested in his business. His attentions and promises, she alleges, kept her out of the society of other marriageable gentlemen and resulted in her losing an opportunity to better her condition. Mr. Zoller denies that he ever entered into any marriage contract with the young lady, and will attempt to prove, when the case comes to trial, that she has threatened similar proceedings against other young men with whom ehe has kept company. Washington-Street Improvement. There will be a meeting of all property-holders interested in the proposed improvement of Washington street, t Council Chamber, near the east corner room, court-house basement, on Saturday, Sept. 3. at 7:30 p. m. It is important that all property-holder be present.

AN INVESTIGATION ASKED

Dr. Fletcher Calls the Coroner's Attention to Reports About Joe Wallace And Demands an Official Inquiry Into the Case The Relatives of the Deceased, However, Oppose the Investigation. Superintendent Fletcher, of the Insane Hospital, returned from Omaha Wednesday evening and immediately addressed a letter to Coroner Wagner, calling his attention to the charges made by George Wallace through the Journal and News that his brother, Joe, who recently died in the institution, had come to his death through the brutal treatment of attendants, and demanding an official investigation. Dr. Wagner notified him that the investigation would be held and would be made thorough. He began work in the case yesterday aftercoou by taking the testimony of George Wallace, which did not differ materially from what he said in the published interview with him His brother's body, he said, showed signs of kicks and blows. On his breast was a black spot as large as a man's band, made evidently by a heavy blow. He was completely cowed, and was too timid to say anything about the treatment he was receiving. "I asked him one day how he was being treated." said Mr. Wallace, "and he showed fear because the attendant was near. He began to say something to me, but the attendant stopped him and answered the question himself by saying that he gave thm no trouble." Mr. Wallace also stated that he knew of his brother being in charge of five or six different attendants during the thirty days he was in the hospital. He complained to Dr. Fletcher about the treatment his brother was receiving, and the superintendent looked for the report from that ward to see if he was giving the attendants any trouble. He found that no report had been returned, and dismissed the subject by saying that he would have his clerk ascertain why the ward report bad not been made out, and let him know about the matter. That was the last heard from this complaint. Dr. Wagner also interrogated several of the relatives of the dead man but did not take their testimony in detail. The relatives of the deceased are very much opposed to the investigation, and have requested both Superintendent Fletcher ana Dr. Wagner to not permit it to be pushed further. They said to Superintendent Fletcher last evening that they were willing to exhonerate the hospital of all the charges made if the investigation would be dropped. Dr. Wagner said last even ing that he did not see how the investigation could be stopped now. Still, if he found it was unnecessary be would drop it. As vet he had not gone far enough to say what should be done. It is his intention to go to the hospital this morning to take the testimony of the attendants, and if deemed necessary he will hold an autopsy over the remains, which are in a vault at Crown Hill cemetery. Dr. I letcher said yesterday that while in the West he was told by Dr. Cravens, of the Yank ton (Dak. ) Asvlum, where Wallace had been confined for a time, that he was possessed of a peculiar delusion, under which be insisted on all the other patients bowing down and worshiping him. If they refused to do so they were in danger of being assailed. Dr. Fletcher thought that W allace might have received some bruises from patients in his efforts to compel them to obey him. The bruises Wallace received in the Indiana hospital. Dr. Fletcher thinks, wera caused by his inability to control himself. Ha would fall to the floor, against furniture, and, apparently insensible to pain, would sometimes badly injure himself before the attendants could interfere. He was so helpless that if there was any violence used on him. the superintendent says, it was wholly uncalled for. DID NOT USE AVAILABLE FUNDS. Another Instance of How the State's Finances Were Badly Managed by Democrats. When the Democratic State officials illegally used, last year, the $117,143.53 that should have been applied to the interest due on the non-ne gotiable school fund bonds to meet the current demands on an exhausted general fund, they bad at their disposal $44,201.83 of the permanent endowment fond. An act approved March 3, 1833. provides for the investment of this permanent endowment fund in the interest of the State University. One section says that it can be applied to paying the interest on the State's indebtedness and another is to the effect that if at any time the State should need tho loan of any part or all cf the fund it shall be a preferred borrower of so much .of the fund as has not been loaned out. In order to pay current warrants on the treasury, instead cf using this permanent endowment fund, the officers illegally held the interest money, that ought to have been paid in October, subject to these warrants. Had the endowment fund been used, it would not have given the balance in the general fund the officials desired to represent for campaign purposes. With what little money in the general fund that could be applied to eurrent warrants, after seizing upon the $117,143.53, the officials created a false balance of $39,000, when there was in reality a deficit of $77,000. The use of the permanent endowment fund and the small balance in the general fund would have given the treasury over $100,000 with which to pay expenses until the December revenues were available. Instead of this the endowment fund's $44,201.83 in October last year, which was increased in December to 00.000 by additional revenues, was allowed to remain in the treasury. The Democratic Treasurer got the benefit of this arrangement, while the December revenues were embarrassed by the payment of the $117,143.53 interest that ousht to have been paid in October. When the transfer of the treasury to Captain Leracke occurred the general fund balance amounted to only $20,000. This was readily exhausted, and in March he had no mony. Instead of following th example of his Democratic predecessor in holding the permanent endowment fund intact so he could realize on it for his own benefit in loaning it out, when by law it was subject to the needs of the State, he borrowed the $00,000 for general fund purposes. For it a non-negotiable bond, r.s the law requires, was issued to the trustees of the university. In May last and since $24,000 was paid into this endowment fund, and this sum the treasurer has also borrowed in order to meet the warrants that will be is-sued for the August maintenance of the State institutions. Treasurer Lemcke has not as yet heard from the counties in reply to his call for advances, but he expects to get enough money by that means, which, with the $24,000 borrowed, will enable him to pay all warrants presented by the managers of the benevolent boards. THE BOARD OF TRADE'S NEW PROJECT. The Proposed Erection of an Imposing Buildins in the City's Business Center. The Board of Trade committee appointed to secure a site on which to erect a new building or to purchase property already improved that would be available for. the board's use, will meet at 4 o'clock this afternoon. While this project has never been lost sight of, there is a renewal of interest in it by the board's stockholders, and in a 6hort time it is expected the plans will assume a definite chape. Several pieces of property have been under consideration, but a delay in getting the owners to fix a price has interfered somewhat with the settlement of the question. Some of the stockholders look upon the purchase cf tho old Board of Trade building, which can be bad for $15,000 or $50,000, a3 the proper thing to do, but there is a more enterprising party who decidedly favor not only a movement up town, but the carrying out of it?vprovements that will be a credit to the city and the institution. The block at the north-east corner of Pennsylvania and Market streets is the objective point of this class of the stockholders. They say the board can well afford the investment of $200,000 in buying that site and erecting an imposing structure on it. Avery strong feeling is manifested in favor ot this plan, and it has led to the seenrmfe of several sketches of buildings from architects. The estimates on them are from $55,000 to $100,000 and more. The purchase of this property would cover the lots on which the corner building and the Btonefront block adjoining stand. It would give a frontage of 112 feet on Market street. It is urged in favor of this project that tho lots and building, it is said, as they now are, can be bought for $100,000, and a splendid structure that would pive the board a large revenue could be erected. One of tho plans connected with this proposition

which meets with the most favor, is the erection of a building five stories high, of pressed brick

and stone ornamentation. All the upper floors would be designed for offices, which could be reached by elevators. This investment would mean the payment of $50,000 cash and the issu ance of 5 per cent, bonds, which, it is said, could be met in fifteen years, as the revenue from such a building woc.ld enable the board to own it free from incumbrances in that length of time. noLLWEO & Reese received 155 crates of oueensware yesterday, on which they paid $3, 352 duty, making a total of $33,526.00 duties paid by them in the past eight months. Frank M. Lacev, the photographer, has returned to the city and purchased his old stand in the Vance Block gallery. Fall style Hats at Seaton's Hat Store No. 25 North Pennsylvania street.
