FPiEFER AN ELECTBICMOTOR

Illinois-Street Citizens Have a Conference with Councilmea and Others. ifter Exchanging Vie vs Tvith Manager Shaffer a Joint Committee Is Appointed to Draft an Ordinance to Be Submitted Next Monday. 1 Qnite a Dumber of the large property; owners along Illinois street inet In conference with mem'oers of the Council in the 3iayor,a officev last night, and discussed tho project of an electric railway line from the Union Station to Crown Hill. Cemetery. Before the, meeting was called to order Dr. II. G. Carey, who has been foremost in urging tho construction of such a. line, exhibited petitions for electric cars signed by 170 of the the property-holders on tho lino mamed. Tho petitions bore the bigaatnres of many of the leading business men of tho city. The meeting was organized by electing Dr. Carey chairman and Archibald Young secretary. Dr. Carey gave a liistory of the events that had , led to the meeting. He said Illinois ' street had long been an unpleasant thoroughfare upon which to reside on account if the mud and dust. The citizens thought that these disagreeable features were tho Tesult of the moving of the street-cars by mules. If some other motive power was adopted by the company the dust and mud n a i san co would doubtless be abated. It had been suggested that the company bo ordered to put on electric cars; that had been done, and the company replied that it was willing in case the citizens desired the change, and satisfactory arrangements could bo made with the Council. A petition had been circulated, and not a single property-owner upon the street who had been approached refused to sign it. Aftor the petition had been so liberally signed it was suggested that a meeting bo called, and in response to that call the citizens were there to exchange ideas. .' Manager Shaffer, of the . Citizens'; company, who had been invited to the conference, being asked to explain what those ho represented would do, said he did not, at the present time, desire to speak fully upon the subject, nor did he wish to make any proposition. The company was waiting to hear from the citizens, and when it heard from them it would endeavor to accommodate them. It was willing to adopt any 33iotive power that would be benelicial to the city. Under its present relation to tho city tho company was compelled to uso animal power. If the citizens desired electric oars it, before complying with tho demand, would have to know -what it was to receive in return :for the large outlay it would have to make. If electric Tines would be a good thing for the company they would be a good thing for the city. Continuing, Mr. Shaffer, in answer to a question from Councilman Thalman, said that there were but few, if any successful underground systems for electric railways in operation. In -Alleghany city and in Boston the system had oeen tried, and proven unsuccessful Mr. Shafler then introduced Mr. Bailey, who is connected with the Thompson-Houston electric company. As a practical electrician, he spoke concerning the underground system. He said experience had proven that a road could not bo operated successi nlly with underground wires. Thesnowand other substances caused what was , known ns a 4short circuit." In Boston the system had been abandoned and overhead wires were being strung. Tho overhead system, lie maintained, was not dangerous. An inquiry touching it was made in Washington - city, and resulted in its being recommended. following Mr. Bailey, Manager Shatter again spoke briefly. Answering an inquiry lie said he did not think the company 'would be willing to carry out such a propo-;, sition as tho Illinois-street citizens madewithout an extension of its franchise. The electric roads were, as yet, lareelv experimental. No businessman would like to ex1end so much money on an experiment uness he was given something in return. D. II. Wiles thought the time had come. -when the city should have an electric rail- , way. Until all the streets were favored like Washington they could not be kept free from dust and mud, with cars pro-; : pelled by animal power running overthem. lie thought the overhead system was tho - only available one. and did not believe tho - condnit system could be made a success. He liked the idea of placing small iron : poles in the center of the street, which had "been suggested by Mr. Bailey, and he would have an electric light on each pole. He could see no reason why Indianapolis, should not make the experiment. He did not think there was a man on Illinois street. . who was not in favor of the line. For one,' he was opposed to that kind of competition in street-car business which required a passenger to pay a fare every time he changed cars. He had always been in favor of one street-ear system for the city. . He thought there should be some' cross lines built, and to that Mr. Shatter replied that tho rails were already hero for the cross line on Seventh street. In conclusion : Mr. Wiles earnestly hoped the Council . would give the company the right to put in nn electric line on Illinois street, with a view of extending it all over the city. N. S. 3yram favored granting the petition : of the citizens. He thought the company that made the experiment should have something in return, but did not think its charter should be extended for more than ; twenty years. Several of the councilmen then expressed their views briefly. Mr. Pearson was glad some of the heavy taxpayers of Illinois street were present. Personally; he was opposed to overhead wires, but if tho peoplo wanted that system he would vote for it. He would not vote for a lengthy extensionof the company's charter, although the company was entitled to fair treatment from the Council. It had dealt with the city in a manly manner, and while, perhaps, it was not compelled to do so, it had paid for a portion of the Washington street pavement. It had met every wish of the people, and he believed it would continue to do so in the future. Councilman Hicklin said he was willing to do whatever a majority of the propertyowners along Illinois street requested. Mayor Denny, in a brief talk, said he was not favorably impressed with the only overhead. electric system he had ever examined, but he had been informed that the system had - been perfected within the last six months, and was now satisfactory. Mr. Wiles again urged the Council to take some steps toward the proposed improvement. Mayor Denny asked him for what length of time he wonld bo in favor of extending the company's charter, but he evaded answering the question. "If I could get enough in return 1 would be in favor of extending the charter for ono thousand j'ears," said he. The company, he said, made money out of the streets, and a franchise was worth something to the company and to tho city. In making a long extension there should be some provision for receiving a stipulated amount v for each car. The question was further discussed, and then, by unanimous agreement, a committee, composed of citizens, and aldermen, and councilmen from wards bordering on Illinois street, was appointed to confer with Manager Shaffer and draft an ordinance, to be presented at tho regular meeting of the Council next Monday night. The committee is composed of tho following gentlemen: Citizens, H. (. Carey, I). If. .Wiles and N. S. Byram; aldermen, John Kail, Julius h Keneicke. Harry B. Smith, iiranville S. Wright, Win. K. Tousey and MilLtrd F. Connett; councilmen. W. M. Hicklin, Wm. J. Parkinson. M. M. Cuininings, Isaac Thalman, John R. Pearson and Calvin F. DarnlL with Mayor Denny and City Attorney Taylor. Mayor Denny was made chairman of tho committee, acd it was announced that it would meet in the . Mayor's oilice Friday evening, at 7:C0 o'clock. m m Hurt by a Kunaway Team. John McShano and Isaac Hill, farmers living near Broad Kipplc, were severely injured in a runaway yesterday afternoon. Their team became unmanageable, owing to a broken bridle bit, at the corner of . Fourth and Illinois streets, and runninz down to Second street, tho horsea turned east to Meridiau, whero the wagon was thrown against a tre and the men hurled to the ground. Dr. C. I. Fletcher examined their wounds, which wire mainly coniincd

to cuts about tho face and head, and pronounced them serious but not necessarily dangerous. s - THE CHANGE OP OFFICIALS.

Postmaster Wallace's Appointments Not to lie Known Until lie Goes Into Office. William Wallace, the incoming postmaster, has selected the employes who will go into office when he does, but the list will probably not be made public until after the oflico has changed hands. "The appointees themselves have not been notified of their selection," said Assistant Postmaster Thompson yesterday, "and persons who are pretending to name them are merely guessing." Understanding that the persons to be given place have been determined upon, the applicants have ceased to askMr. Wallace for places, and are calmly awaiting their fate. When tho list is made public there will be something like one thousand disappointed persons. "Will Appoint No More Deputies. United States Marshal Dunlap will not appoint any more deputies unless the business of the office should in time demand it. He has already selected the same number employed bv Marshal Hawkins for the Indianapolis oflico, and ono each for Evansville and Fort Wayne. Amusements. Miss Lydia Thompson and her big burlesque company will make their only appearance in Indianapolis this season at tho Grand to-night and to-morrow night. Miss Thompson has fifty-live performers with her, and is credited with giving burlesque in better form than any other company that has presented it. 'lo-nicht, Stephens fc Solomon's "Penelope," which is said to be very amusing and full of pretty music. To-morrow night "Columbus" will be given. rho Black Flag" continues to draw large audiences at the Park and will run all week. Illghts of Municipalities. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In reading over the opinion of Judge nowe in the cases testing the constitutionality of the public works, and police and fire board acts, I observe he says: "It is safe to say that in recent times no parliament would dare to enact such laws for tho government of any portion of the British realm, excepting Ireland." Judce Howe was probably not aware, when he made this statement, that the question of taking the right of electing tho City Council of Dublin out of the hands of tho rate-payers and placing the appointment of at least the Lord Mayor in tho hands of tho Lord Lieutenant was much discussed and strongly advocated by some truculent Tories in England about eighteen months ago. Tho Salisbury government, however, even t that time, when they had only recently gone into power with a large majority at their back, were afraid to bring a measure so despotic and so much at variance with the spirit of British institutions, before tho Houso of Commons, even when it only effected an Irish corporation. The principal charge brought against the 3Iayor and Council of Dublin by the Tories was that they were using the funds of the corporation for political purposes. A prominent member of the Conservative party being asked if he would support a measure dealing with this question, replied that he could not see that this was a matter with which Parliament had anything to do, as the Council were appointed bv the rate-pavers of Dublin and it was their money that was being dealt with. He added that if the mi nority of the rate-payers had any evidence of the funds of the corporation being used for any purposo not within the limits de fined by the charter, thev could anneal to the Irish law courts, and they would no doubt be glad to assist them in the matter. The Indiana Democrats might learn some thing about the rights of municipalities from trie tyrant Balfour. Home Kujle. Indianapolis, March 27. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications.

THE JESUITS IX CANADA.

Continuation of the Delate on the Estates Bill l in the House of Commons. Ottawa, Onfc, March 27. In the House of Commons, to-day, Mr. Dalton McCarthy resumed the debate on the Jesuit question. He thought it strange that no member of the government had yet risen to explain the reasons for the allowance of the bill. The act should bo disallowed, whether tho Legislature had the authority to pass it or not. It will not do to ieuoro the past. Questions had first to be considered irom a legal point of viow. Disallowance of the bill is a mattft of public policy. Mr. McCarthy read a recital in connection with the bill, which, he said, was unheard of in the history of British parliaments. It is a disgraceful spectacle, he said. He would show that tho Jesuits estates, for a century, belonged to the public domain. The' award is a papal gift. The conditions are that it would he non-effective until approved by Rome. Legislation is, therefore, dependent on the Pope. The speaker said he could only reKara wun asronisnment tne lacKot interest betrayed in the agitation. The award was simply a misappropriation. He then took up the question of estates. He denied that m the Jesuits, before the suppression, held their 'estates in trust for education. In those days it wa3 a common thing for them to acquire property and goods. Avarice was their sin. This was a British country. Tho Jesuits had no legal existence in Canada, and their prop erties were vested in the crown. A Pre mier is found humiliating himself by an appeal to the Popo in a temporal matter. If tho supremacy ' act is in force no foreitmer, whether, spiritual or temporal, should interfere with legislation, tie nopea . bis .Excellency would be afforded an opportunity of reconsidering this unconstitutional act. He re gretted that herMaiestv had been betrayed by one of her advisers. Were we to have a stato church in Canada? The secularization of the clergy reserves as sisted the churches. He (McCarthy then said he would assail the bil on higher crounds than technica points. He denied tho right of any persons to keep silent on a ouestion like this. even when assured that the Jesuits were under the a?gis of tho Poi. Ho read from tne xortnightiy Keview, of 1874, regarding tho aim3 of the Jesuits. Their order was organized for the snread of the Catholic faith. Alter Mr. Ross. Sir John Thomnson. Min ister of Justice, replied to Mr. McCarthy. Consideringhe said, tho opposition the measure has excited, he deemed it his duty to make a plain statement of the policy of the government in regard to this bill. He ventured to say, without disrespect to Mr. McCarthy, that tho case presented was one involved in doubt. 1 he suprema cy act gave the Catholics tho right of acknowledging the supremacy of tho Popo in spiritual matters. In 17.U, twenty-hve or thirty years after Enclish accession, tho Jesuits in Canada were suppressed. Tho jugiisu commanuer cast a covetous eye upon tbeir property. The King of England could not award estates, for it is a matter which rested with Farliament. The last surviving Jesuit having died in 1801, the property was escheated to the crown. Whenever property is thus appropriated, the crown, according to the principle of common law, recognized tne moral rights of those formerly controlling it Agitation of that moral right was kept up from year to year. As tho province atteraped to put tho property on the market, the hierarchy opposed the step very vigorously, lie concurred in tho legal title of tho province to the estates in question. Ho instanced the unanimous vote of the Legislature in granting conipensuuon. as it nis uuty to override what at best was the act of a Legislature moved by conscientious motives? As Mr. Mitchell said. the Quebec Legislature was the supreme authority. and their enactmentcould not be interfered with. He then reviewed tho dithcnlty of settling tho various claims to tho property, all the claimants being subject to ono spiritual authority. The solution of xue (iiincuiiy, . il was resoivea, snouiu oe; left to the Pope. His Holiness, at th outset of the negotiations, deputed the Arch-? bishop of ouebec as his attorney.' At a later stage tho Pone reserved the entiro settlement of the award to him self. This left him unrepresented in tho Province of Quebec. What did tho Pono seek? Not, surely, to interfere with the public domain. The same steps were pur sued as are taken in all matters mvolviug arbitration. He ridiculed tho idea that legislation was a challenge to the supremacy of the Oueen. The debate, at mid-, night, was adjourned. LABOR INTERESTS. The Tall River Wearers Abandon the Con test and Will Ketnrn to Work. Fall River, Mass., March 27. Tho strike of the weavers in this city ended this morning, and the operatives will return to work on the old basis to-morrow. At a massmeeting in the park, which was attended by thousands of operatives, the executive committee of the weavers' association advised giving up, under protest, and submit-, ting their cases to the State Board of Arbi tration. 1 his result had been reached at two meetings of the board mentioned, held yesterday afternoon, and this morning Sec retary Uonuoily stated that a majority of the committeo realized that thero were no funds in the treasury upon which so largo a number of strikers could rely, and thought, it best to yield before there was any suffer-' ing. The contributions expected from out side quarters had fallen below expectations, and under the circumstances it would be wiser for all concerned to resume their; places. Rev. John Brown advised a similar course, and it was voted to return to-mor row. The cam in the number of operatives employed to-day had been very light, and manufacturers were surprised when the re sult was announced, though no excitement prevails in the city. Miners Will Investigate the Voiding of an Act. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, Ind., March 27. At a mass-meet ing of the miners of Clay county, held in Shatuck's grove, near this city, yesterday. the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: flesolved.

The iron manufactories of this place aro suffering from the depression in the trade, and tho mills oC McLanahan, Smith & Co. and the Jiolidaysuurg iron uompany nave reduced tho wages of their puddlers from $3.75 to $3.50 per ton. The Law of Corporations. New York, March 27. Judge Barrett, in -the Supreme Court, to-day decided that joint-stock private organizations aro not liable to taxation as corporations. The case before him was brought on a writ of certiorari for the review of the tax commissioner's action in assessing tho capital stock of the National Express Company. The company was formed in 1S53, but is not incorporated Since the organization, the Judgo says, substantial privileges have been conferred upon joint stock companies. The privileges are undoubtedly corporate incidents, but do not, in terms, create corporations, nor do the acts profess t o authorize them. Qn the contrary, they expressly declare tho opposite intcni. A corporation cannot bo "formed by a private acreemcnt between individuals. The f ranchiso must proceed from tho State, and even the State

cannot compel peoplo to accept its bounty. There is, in feet, no statute of the State providing for the formation of joint stock companies or limiting their organization. The conferring of these privileges no more creates a corporation than would general legislation conferring similar privileges upon ordinary partnership. Judgment is given for the company. "Clipped" Oats. Chicago, March 27. Quito a stir has been created in Board of Trade circles by the publication in a morning paper of a series of interviews on the subject of "clipped" oats. The article states that there is a corner in No. 2 oats in Milwaukee; that there is a machine in common use in elevators which will clip the small or husk end from oats at the rate of 300 bushel a minute. The result of this process is to make tho oats heavier by removal of tho clipped chaff, thus raising the grade. By-V this processNo. 2 oats are made No. 1, and' No. 3 red raised to No. 2. The nrticle declares that the machines are now being run on No. 3 for the purpose of increasing tho stock of No. 2 in or ler to break tho Milwaukee corner. Tne elevator men interviewed, while each denies the impeachment as to himself, unite in declaring that the practice has been a common ono all over the country for the last three years; that it is perfectly legitimate; that there is no law to prevent it; that it actually improves the grain, and that there is a largo demand, especially in the Fast, for 'clipEed" oats as a superior quality of food for orses. A Demand for 815,000,000. San Francisco, March 27. The Benton Consolidated Company has hied a complaint in the Supreme Court against the estate of Seth Cook, deceased, to recover

815.029.500. The plaintiffs allege that the' deceased, by combination with the board of directors, converted 150,205 of the company's shares to his own use. The stoc is valued at $100 per share. THE TLLTON-KEIXIIEU TRIAL. Echoes of the Old Scandal Sad Fate of the Tiltons. New York Letter in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Echoes of the great Beecher-Tilton trial" come back to us occasionally and recall all tho woe and pain suilered by the actors in that dreadful ouagmire of scandal. Brooklyn banished the subject from her drawingrooms shortly after tho end of the suit, which led to the eclipse of at least two of tho actors, Tilton and Moulton, and injured Mr. Beccher irretrievably. Henry C. Bowen, the richest of all the scandal coterie, holds his own, and though for a few years he never went out in society at all, his house has been tho center of numerous social gatherings this winter. He has a clever daughter who is tho attraction of his home, and he keeps up the habit of inviting to his country home at Woodstock, Conn., all tho notables of the Republican party, who like to talk politics and llowery rhetoric in tho country on tho 4th of Juiy. Mr. Beecher died two years ago, aud during the interval that has elapsed since his death littlo has been said about the old issues involved in tho scandal which once shook Brooklyn volcano-like. But recently the interest in the personages concerned in the trial was revived in tho announcement that Mrs. Tilton, the victim of every ono engaged in the ease, is growing blind. She has been a great sufferer from cataracts. which have been repeatedly cut from both her eves. Now the siirht of ono eye is en tirely gone, and tho other is so injured that she lives m a dark room, and will shortly bo whollv blind. Mrs. Morse, the faithful mother of Mrs. Tilton, liyes with her, and at present tho eldest daughter, Florence, is with her. Ihe youngest son of Mrs. Tilton is the only ono of her children who resides witli her permanently. The other son and uaimutcr aro marrieu and live m .New York. Mrs. Tilton resides in a modest home in tho eastern part of Brooklyn, and never leaves her homo now; for years she only appeared on tho streets when bomo household want had to be supplied. It is said that the cataracts, which have cost her so much sunenng. were caused by continuous weeping. Whatever else the scandal did for others, it broko her heart, and she has been a mi sera hi v nnhnnnv woman since that time. When Mr. Beecher died, Mrs. Tilton expressed regret that she could not have been taken in his stead, for she had nothing to do in tho world, and ho was useful. Of all the Beecher family, the jouly one who has shown her tho slightest ..sympathy has been Mis. Isabella Beecher Hooker, who urged her brother to be kind to Mrs. Tilton, and to defend her against her husband's charges. But Mr. Beecher did nothing could do nothing under tho circumstances anu, it is saui, ne gneveu that he could not, for he had a nature that led him to feel sympathy and generosity toward his fellow-being. Mrs. Beecher was too bitter toward the Tiltons for a word to be said concerning them, and Mr. Beechcr's last years wero passed under tho close espionage of his wife. Lately tho letters, documents, agreements, memoranda and everything else pertaining to the scandal were destroyed. After the trial they were intrusted to tho treasurer ot I'lymonth Church, in whoso house the investigating committeo held its meetings. Tho papers were committed to the llames, aud not a lino of confessions. recriminations or charges aro in exist ence unless Mr. Bowen holds them. Mr. A noncfna Si frrr a woo . cfiTili nnpronf of Mr. Beecher, and gave $10,000 toward the expenses of tho trial.

Mrs. Beecher is the only one of the family who remains associated with rivmouth Church. She was bitterly opposed to the selection of l)r.

She has become reconciled to the existing state of things, and 6its in her old pew every, Sunday, though it is no longer known as the "pastor's pew," but as Mrs. Boechcr's, ' and her name is on the door.

A sensation has been caused in the Mor mon camp by the renuuci Uicn of the church by a bishop who Jiaj cevu in prison, ana still remains there, serving out a term tor polygamy. Only the other day Cleveland imriliinf il tho nnostla. iieoriro O. Cannon. who was also serving a term for the same offense. Cannon came out to renew his poIvramous relations where be uad broken them off. His parti or-, t.hrideing his sen tence by several Lioi'tLs m vdo Dim moio bold and confident thin ovi A few days after his release ho appeared in the Tabernacle, and declared ti'.at hi; faith in and fidelity to tho Morniou gospal ivere greater than ever before. The big b lildiuc was crowded with Saints and curious gentiles,, and tho apostle got a hearty greeting. Ho then emphasized most strongly the' sincerity of his belief in the divine inspiration of Joseph Smith, and in the religion which Smith founded. This positive and enthusiastic declaration ot Cannon's cave Bishop Andrew Cahoon his cue. The newspapers containing a re port of the apostle's fervor were read in prison by tho Bishop, whereupon he sat down ana wrote an open letter to the apostle, denouncing the whole Mormon fabric as a tissue of impostures and frauds. He had suffered for tbo faith, he said, long before tho English printer, George Q. Cannon, had heard of it, and he had borne all manner of hardships for the sake of sustaining his relations to the priesthood. He flatly, denied that the founders of the Mormon religion, with many of whom he was acquainted, were possessed of anything like divine inspiration, or anything else more divine than mere worldly wisdom. He also cast serious doubts on the sincerity of "Brother" Cannon and others like him who prated so loudly of their faith and steadfastness. "They do nott" he says, "let their tongues speak what their hearts feel." That Bishops Gaboon's apostacy will lead . to many others among the rank and file thero is no doubt. There have been several . similar movements in the history of the Mormons, the best remembered of which are those which were led by W. S. Godbe, K. L. T. Harrison and T. B. H. Stenhonse, when many of tho most intelligent and best-informed men of the church withdrew their allegiance from the hierarchy. Bishop Cahoon is an old man, and has stood firmly by the church for about a half a century. It may bo said of him, as of nearly every Mormon of average intelligence, that ho never did believe all the teachings and pretensions of the Mormon priesthood, of which he has been himself an important member. But his reasons for finally kicking over the traces are eminently practical and common-sense. A few months of life at the dreary old penitentiary had convinced him that tho Mormon Church cannot hope to conquer the United States government at present. The laws are stronger than the priesthood, and he doesn't care to hold out longer as a declared rebel against his country. lie thinks it would be a good policy, if there were no stronger reason, for the priesthood to submit in good faith to the laws of the land. Ho cites some excellent maxims from Mormon books on submission to law, and closes his letter with the announcement that he has done with Mormonism. The old settlers hero, both Mormon and non-Mormon, think Bishop Cahoon's action a straw which shows how the wind blows. There are other agencies at work which are rapidly and 6urely undermining the priesthood, and preparing the way for the ascendency of liberalism. The children of tho more wealthy Mormon and semi-Mor-. mon families who are anxions for social distinction are sent to the select gentile schools, permitted to mingle with gentile children at play, and are allowed to attend entertainments which are conducted entirely by gentiles all of which would have been deemed highly heretical in the palmy days of the hierarchy. ' m 1 A Plea for New Mexico Sheep. La Vegas (N. M.)

After dinner oratory is pleasant and frequently instructive, but the feeding must come first. Meanwhile the wool continues to grow upon the sheep of New Mexico, and they are in painful uncertainty as to whether they are protected or unprotected.
