They Hold a Joint Session and Then Sep-r

arately Consider Several Measures. A 'ew Ilealth Board CreatedUnderground Wires' and the Water Company's ValvesCentennial Demonstration Proposed. Tho conncilmen and aldermen each held short sessions last night. The creation of a city Board of Health, in conformity with the State laws, was tho principal ohject of the meetings. Pursuant to a caucus agreement the two boards met in joint convention at 70 o'clock, and elected Dr. J. II. Woodburn secretary of the health board, to succeed Dr. S. E. Earp, who resigned three weeks ago. The Democratic minority placed in nomination for the position Dr. "Henry S. Cunningham, who received nine votes to Dr. "Woodbum's twenty-one. The convention also elected John Wilson, (colored) city wood measurer, in place of WTilliam Uogardus, resigned The wjnncilmen. on eoing into separate session, took up the Ilealth Board ordinance and, after amending it some, passed it. Later in the evening they concurred in the amendments made by tho Board of Aldermen. The ordinance legalizes tho past acts of the Health Board and makes it a legal body for the future. Under it the board will remain as it has J)een for several months, except with the addition of Dr. Woodburn. It is given power to appoint a clerk,- health officer and meat inspector, and it is understood that E. C. Hedden, Leonord Crane and J. K. Fohl will be continued in .their respective positions. The other business transacted by tho Council was nearly all of minor importance. Professor Belcher presented a petition asking that he be allowed the use of Tomlinson Hall all summer, at a rental of $20 per night. If he can secure the hall on these terms he proposes to give popular concerts to which a small admission fee will bo charged. The petition was referred to the rental committee. Mr. Stuckmeyer said the Consumers7 uas Trust Company was violating tho naturalgas ordi nance by charging $12 for making connections where mains are already laid. W'ith the hope of compelling the company to comnlv with the ordinance, he introduced a resolution instructing the city attorney to notify the company that its acts were not in line with the requirements of the ordinance. Alter buxijh uiatusaiuu iuc icsuiuuuii was referred to the committee on natural gas. with instructions .that the charges made against the company by Mr. Stuckmeyer bo investigated. A resolution was passed requiring the same company to exit'Iiu it. juaius uu j: iciciici i venue, ium Dillon to Linden street, within sixty days. The committee on public light, to which were referred the several ordinances in re lation to the placing of wires bv incan descent electric-light companies, submitted a report recommending that all such light conmanies operating in the city be required to put their wires underground. To avoid discrimination, the committee recom mended that the special privileges granted the Brush company, permitting It ' to hang wires overhead, be revoked. The committee also stated that it seems to be the desire of tho citizens that the wires be put under ground, and the conclusion was reached that, as In dianapolis is a great field for incandescent lighting, several companies would be glad to occupy it and comply with an ordinance to that effect. The report was received nrl He ill Via ncfprl nnftn at thfl next meetincr ot tne uonncii wnen me ordinances penainir are taken up for passage. . t There were tho usual reports from city officers, among them one from the chief lire engineer, stating that he had appointed W. F. Jones and C. E. Logsdon to - fill vacancies in tne nro department. Tho appointments were confirmed. ' A 1 1 1 4 ' which was passed, instructing the Board of 1 -W A. L ! 1 JL. j.'UDiic improvements to ascertain wnai steps were necessary to have the sidewalk along the north side of Washington street, between Pennsylvania and Meridian, lowered so as to conform with the asphalt pavement on the street. . , , Mayor Denny called attention to the fact that nearly all the cities in the country. and many Indiana .towns, were preparing to properly celebrate the centennial anniversary of George Washington's inauguration as President of the United States, on the 80th inst. Indianapolis he thought. should not be behind in this matter, and the Council, and the Board -cf Aldermen and Board of Trade should take hold of it and arrange for some kind of a celebration. There should cert ally be a demonstration, a public meeting, or ooth. In conclusion he said it would be wise for a com mittee to be annotated from the Council and one from the Board of Aldermen to act in con junction with any other committees that might be appointed to consider such a proposition. Mr. Thalman thought the recommenda- ' tion was a good one. He understood that the Grand Army posts had already appoint1 & -. m w i a 44Afi 4V V w i r mmm -S. nn--7an Z nnv demonstration that micht be under taken. He therefore moved that the Mayor appoint a committee ot three irora tho Council, and that a like committee be appointed by the president of the Board of a i .1 f 1. a.1 : l s .1 1 Aiucruicu. 41 o luuuuu uruvuncu, aim vuo 1 .

Among the more important measures considered by the Board of Aldermen was tho ordinance providing for the sealing of the pipe connecting the canal with the supply well at the water-works. Tho ordinance passed the Council several months ago. The aldermanic committee to which it was referred recommended that it be not passed, and the report, surprising as it was. caused a good deal of discussion. Alderman Tousey gave it as his opinion that the water xurnisneu tne city was viie, anu as tne scaling of the valve made it possible to improve it he thought the ordinance should by all means bo passed. Alderman Rail paid tne Water Company was willing that the valve connecting with tho canal and the one connecting with the river should be sealed, and recommended that the ordinance be recommitted to the com mittee, with instructions to so amend it as to provide for the sealing of both valves. Jlis recommendation was agreed to, and tlie committee was instructed to report at the next regular meeting. The board concurred in tho action of tho Council in recomniendinsr the observance of April CO, and President Wright appointed ns the committee Aldermen Smith, Rail and Tousey. The appropriation ordinances were passed, and the Council's action on a good many unimportant resolutions was . 1 i rr i tuucuacu iu. mo uoaru men aujoumeu. Committee on Electric Hallway.

Fifteen hundred shares of tho Manufact urers' Natural-gas Company, which proposes to establish the freo gas plant for manufacturers 'here, were subscribed for Defore the canvass for subscriptions began, and the work has mado steady progress since. The clause in the amendment to tho certificate of incorporation, that gas shall not be lurnished either freo or at uny price or terms to be consumed upon any lands the owners of which have not contributed to the undertaking, has had a good effect upon some belt-line land-owners who were inclined to sit still and wait for others to do the work. It has alxo encouraged contributors who are willintr to do their own share, but dislike to labor for the benefit ofpeople who decline to help themselves. There is a very active interest manifested in the enterprise by propertyowner of I) right wood and other places on the Belt. ' Evening meetings will be held in vnuse wcauues auxin g mo present week.

Collins, the State agent for a certain reaper, claims, the local agency for that machine, and one was shipped to him. Johns wanted to extend his business, it is presumed, as ho afterwards contracted with" Henry J. Prier, of this city, to repre sent the machine for which he was State aent. Mr. Prier, as his correspondence wun jouns snows, was not aware at tnat time of his representing another reaper, and when he did discover it told him that ho must give up one or the other. John, it seems, preferred Mr. Prier's machine. as Mr. Collins wrote him a letter threatening to bring snit if he did not at once pay for tne one be shipped him or send it back in good order. 1 esterday Mr. Prier called on Mr. Collins to prove to him that ho acted innocent ly in the matter, and was not trying to interfere with his agents. Mr. Collins was not in a good humor, and the conversation became heated, interspersed with epithets. Mr. Prier brought matters to a conclusion in resenting a term applied to him by pitching into Mr. Collins. Tho latter's wounds are not 6erious. Postal Clerks' Doings. The postal clerks of the fifth division of tho railway mail service expressed their appreciation of Sergeant W. O. McKinney, by the gift of a handsome gold-headed cane. Charles Haldeinan, one of the most etlloient ot me 01a lorce 01 postal cierKs, nas been reappointed, and began work again on the Pittsburg and St. Louis route yestcruay. Taken In by the Police. William Himo wa9 arrested last night on the charge of grand larceny. He is accused of stealing a caddy of tobacco and conceal ing it in his room overNicholas HofTbaner's saloon. 100 Hill avenue. Hiine originally came to this city in 1881 from Madison, and is well known to the police here. Thev sav he has served one penitentiary and two worit-nouso sentences.

THIRD BASEMAN'S YICT0BY

Short-Stop Confident and Boastful but Far Behind at the End of the Score. The Nines Give a Spirited Game and Supply a Few Features that Greatly Pleased the Spectators Base-Ball Notes. 40 We can beat your old scrub nine hands down, and not .half try," shouted Capt. John Glasscock to Capt. Jeremiah Denny, when Paul Hines picked out one of Henry Boylcs in-shoots in the opening inning of yesterday's game and sent it over the leftfield fence like a ball out of a rifle. "That combination of back numbers can beat nobody," retorted the- king-pin of third base, "and we will show you that your team is not in this contest at all. If you want to win a game yon had better challenge the Kellehers or the Chicago Maroons," and he clinched the remark by making a beautiful stop of a hot grounder and throwing the noted short fielder out at first, retiring tho side with one run to its credit. Seery started the ball rolling for his side by lining out a three-bagger to center field, and grossed the plate on Basset t's single, after Denny had been retired at, first on Daily's assist. Schtcneck and Meyers failed to get tho ball out of the diamoud and sat down. Glasscock's side was put out in order in the second inning, Iiassctt and Schceneck participating as to Whitney and McGeechy, while Landis struck out. of tho inning and took a lead that could not be overcome. Getzein was sending curves, drops, inshoots and all other kinds of deceptive balls over the plate, but somo how tho Dennyites managed to hit the ball, and the backers of that side shouted witu delight while Captain Glasscock's friends looked worried and much depressed in spirits. Boyle held his opponents down in great style, none of them being able to solve his delivery with success. After tho latter had gone out at first in the second, Kusie drove a grounder to tho left field fence and made two bases on it. On Burdick's out at first he went to third and scored a moment later on Carroll's double, the latter crossing the plate on Seery's single. Denny went out on a lly to right field. Glasscock's men retired in order again in the third, but the Dennys kept the ball rolling and added three more inns to their score. Daily threw Bassett out at first. Scho?neckhit for a smglettnd went to second on Meyers's grounder past Shreve, and both advanced abase when Boylo was given first on balls. With the bases full young Kusie mado a nice sacrifice, sending Scha neck home, Mej'ers and Boylo scoring a ! moment later wnen Jsuckley tnrow wild, in an effort to catch the 'former napping at third. Burdick struck out. Daily made a hit in the fourth and reached second on Buckley's out, and third on Glascock's sacrifice, but was caught napping by Meyers. Carroll led olt'with a hit in the same inning but was thrown out trying to steal second. Seery was put out at first by Getzein and Hines, bnt Denny made a two bagger and tallied on Bassett's single. Schceneck struck out. Captain Glascock's men were again quickly retired in tho fifth, but the Denny combination continued to add to their runs and clinch the game and President Bush's box of clear Havanas. Daily fumbled Meyers's grounder, and the latter reached first in safety. He was forced out at second, however, by Boyle. Whitney muffed Husie's fly, and Landis gavo Burdick a life in tho same way, and tho bases were filled. A passed half let Boylo home, and Kusie scored on Carroll's lly. Seery failed to reach first. At this point Kusie went in to pitch, Boyle taking his place in right field, and the young man acquitted himself in fine style. He showed good control of the ball, and his speed was great. After Getzein had been retired in the sixth Boyle muffed Hines's fly, the runner going to second on the error, and third on a wild pitch, but he was caught napping, while Shrevo was retired .sit first. Captain Denny's men failed to do anything in their half of the inning. In tho seventh Daily opened with a hit, but was put out trying to steal second. Car.roll threw Buckley out at first. Glasscock made a single and moved up a base by a good steal, and from there crossed the plate ahead of Whitney, who lined the ball over right-field fence for a home run. McGeachy reached first on Bassett's fumble, but was left by Landis striking out. The Denny side again failed to score. In the eighth Getzein got his base on balls and reached second on Hines's single. Both advanced a base on Shreve's out. Daily made a sacrifice and Getzein scored. Hines tried to do the same, but lack of timo forced him to cut third and he was called out. After Carroll had struck out in the same inning Seery got his base on balls. Shreve's wild, throw enabled the little left fielder to reach third. Denny followed with a single, to second on Landis's error, third on Buckley's out and scored on Schceneck's base hit. The next batter was retired. Captain Glasscock's men tried hard to tally in tho last inning, but failed, and the game ended with the following score: '

Banquet to the Tourists New York, April 8. The banquet at DelmonicoTs to-night to Mr. A. G. Spalding and his party of American base-ball play ers, who have made a tour of tho world. was a brilliant success. One of tho feat ures of the occasion was a witty speech by Mark Twain. I. II. Twitchell, a graduate of Yale, said a prayer, and the 250 guests then sat down to the nine innings or courses of good things. At the speak ers' taoie were Mayors Chapiu, of Brooklvn. and Cleveland, of Jprsey City; Chauncey M. Depew, Daniel jiougnerty. Judge li. iu, llowland, Erastus Wiman, Mark Twain, and others.

Kusie held the big batters of Captain Glasscock's team down to four hits in an equal number of innings, one of them being a home run, however. Tho local plavers complain that the grounds are in very bad comdition, especially about Glasscock's position. Tho outfield is also rough, it is said. It has been settled that Michael J. Kelly will captain the Boston team. It was a unanimous selection. It has also been de cided that Hart will be manager. Harry Landis, who played right field for Glasscock's nine, was in rather fast compa ny, and did not play very well. He used to ne a nrst-class amateur, however. Manager Bancroft claims that ho' has no negotiations nendine with plavers. and that it is not probable that any changes will be made 111 the local team now. Carroll, outfielder of the St. Paul team who has been here for some time, left last night to join his club. Murphy, of the a . 1 a a. . m f 1 a. same Team, aiso sxarxeu iorinatciiy yesterday morning. In the maior leacue cities the approach ing season will be marked by the special feature of novelty all round, as all tho Association clubs and nearly every League club will have new faces.

Snortiuc Life: A considerable reduction in tho number of strike-outs is most prob able under the new rules, but the bases on nails already loom up ominously large. There is no choice between these draw backs to good base-ball, as one is as bad as ino other. Tho Pikers ball team have issued a chal lenge to the Grand Avenues to play that club a game for 25, on their grounds near the Big Four crossing at tlie Belt. The manager of the Grand Avenues is requested to address Manager McGinnis, at lo. 491 v irginia avenue. r Victor Jose, who umpired vesterdav's came, will probablv be one of tlie stiff of turco umpires to be appointed by President Young to olliciato in Lea true cames when the regular man fails to report.

During the past week two well-known players have died in DetroitThomas Smith and E. J. McKinnie. Smith played in 1876 and 1877 with the Maple Leafs, of Guelph, Canada. He also played with tho Syracuse Stars and the Tecumsehs, of London, and was a member 01 tbe Lmpires, of Detroit. K. J.

ENGLISH OrERA-IIOUSE SALVIXl'A TRAINED ANIMALS. Mons, Phillipi Salvini?s troupe of per forming dogs, monkeys, ponies and goats wero exhibited at English's Opera-house 'last evening. Taken collectively they are tho most wonderfully educated lot of animals that have ever been seen in Indianap olis, and many of the tricks performed are simply marvelous. Among other feats per formed, a party of monkeys, coachman, footman and lady, appear in a carriage drawn by dogs. During the journey a wneei comes on ot tne carriage, and tne "norses" start to run away. The coachman jumps down and stops the horses, the footman assists the lady to alight, gets her a chair and a glass of wine, replaces the wheel on the carriage. and the drive is resumed. Monkeys per form all sorts Of acrobatic feats, ihe goat annears in a series of experiments as an equilibrist, and the dogs do an endless va riety of tricks of every character, including pony-riding and ladder climbing. The 1 : ii. x a. r i a. i .11 snow is one mai cuiuiut iuii iu mease an the little ones, and, in fact, the children of larger growth will bo greatly amused and entertained by it. it will be seen for the remainder of the week. PARK BEACH & BOWERS'S MINSTRELS. A minstrel company is a novelty at the Park, and yesterday, when Beach & Bowers'8 aggregation began an engagement there, tho audiences - tilled tho theater to overflowing, and laughed and applauded vociferously. The company has a number of talented performers, and they give an entertainment of excellent features and commendablo originality. The specialties are unusually good, and repetitions of them were numerously demanded. Among thoso whose acts are deserving of special mention are Marba and Ano, Beach and Foreman. Prof. Gleason's trained dogs. Alvido, the juggler. Sparks and Iliatt, drill-masters, anu others. The company will remain all week. EDEN MUSEE THE FEMALE BOOT-BLACKS. Eight or ten young women, comely in appearance and tastefully dressed, greatly amused tho patrons of tho Eden Mnsee yes terday by their very earnest efforts in bootblacking, in which they are rather adept. Theyaro contesting for prizes, and work with a will, relieving their efforts In this direction by singing and other specialties. It is a unique exhibition, and was much enjoyed by the crowds who Hocked in yesterday. The girls will remain all week, and will probably draw lots of the boys to see them. There are other new features to be seen in the Musoe. NOTES. Hoyt's "Hole in the Ground," "a wail for the woes of tho wayfarer," as ho calls it. which made such a hit here last season, will be at the Grand tho latter part of the week, as presented by tlie original com pany, with new music and' specialties.

Dickson fc Talbott's principal occupation at present is answering inquiries for seats for the Booth-Barrett engagement at English's, the latter part of next week. As this will probably be the last opportunity Indianapolis theater-goers will have to see Mr. Booth act, very great interest is felt in his coming appearance.

To thousands yearly it proves a veritable elixir of life. Mrs. Jos. Lake. Brockway Centre, Mich., writes : "Liver complaint and Indigestion made my life a burden and came near ending my existence. ' For more than four years I suffered untold agony. I was reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly had strength to drag myself about. All kinds of food distressed me, and only the most delicate could be digested at all. Within the time mentioned several physicians treated me without giving relief. Nothing that I took seemed to do any permanent good until I began the use ot Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful results. Soon after commencing to take the Sarsaparilla I could see an . Improvement in my condition, my appetite began to return and with it came the1 ability to digest all the food taken, my strength improved each day, and after a lew months of faithful attention to your directions, I found myself a well woman, able to attend to all household duties. The medicine has given me a new lease of life, and I cannot thank you too much." 'We, the undersigned, citizens of Brockway Centre, Mich., hereby certify that the above statement, made by Mrs. Lake, is true in every particular and entitled to full credence." O. 1. Chamberlain, G. W. Waring, C. A. Wells, Druggist. My brother, in England, was, for a long time, Enable to attend to his occupation, by reason of sores on his foot. I sent him Ayer's Almanac and the testimonials it contained induced him to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. After using it a littfo while, he was cured, and is now a well man, working in a sugar mill at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia." A. Attewell, Sharbot Lake, Ontario.
