MILLER'S SELECTED VOTEBS

How Elections Are Held in Yaylic Township When Democrats Need Support. An Inspector TTCio, It Is Said, Thinks the Idiotic and Insane Ilaye a Right to Tote Items from Various Courts. The preliminary hearing of Iliran W. Miller and others, charged with intlaenc ing the idiotic and insane to vote at the last election in the fourth precinct of "Wayne township, was continued before Commissioner Van Bnren yesterday. During the forenoon quite a number of "witnesses were examined, but the majority of them did nothing more than confirm the testimony of Robert N. Harding. Mr. Childers, and others who were at the polls and saw Mr. Miller, as inspector, receive the votes from irresponsible persons. One of the principal "witnesses "was John L. Ketcham. of the firm of Haugn, Ketcham & Co. He explained how the unfortunates were brouglit down to the polls in the two big wagons, and how their votes were placed in the box by Inspector Miller without affidavits being roquired when they were challenged. He said defendants Eck and Thorpe helped the paupers from the wagon to the window, and saw that they were provided with tickets. When John Benson, one . of the incurably r insane, anflP who had lost all power of speech, was brought to the window his escort had forgotten his name. Ho called to a man in the wagon for the pauper's name, and a name other than Benson was given him, but, after referring.to apapcrin his pocket, the man in the wagon corrected himself. The vote was then received by the inspector. In putting the ballot in the box over a challenge, Mr. Miller remarked that he knew th man and would be responsible for the vote being all right. V. H. Watt, who was at one time superintendent of tho county asylum, was also a valuable witness for the government. He told about the same story aa the other witnesses for the prosecution. He was about the polls all day aud saw the paupers all vote. He testified that at the last election 7&5 votes were cast in ' the precinct, while at tho election two years before but votes were cast. Mr. Miller told him that 112 of the votes were from the poor-house. On the day of the election Mr. Watt told defendant Thorpe that he was liable to get into trouble for what he was doing. Thorpe replied that "We have got these men now, and we are going to vote 'em as we please." At the afternoon sitting the prosecution brought out the facts in relation to the e'llorts of the Committee of One Hundred to secure a list of the legal voters in the asylum on the week before the election. The first witness called was Alexander B. Conduitt, a Democrat, and chairman of that committee. He testified that just before the election there was a good deal of talk about the poor-asylum vote. At a meeting of the executive committee of the Committee of One Hundred it was decided to get a list if po&iblo of the legal voters at that institution. Oue independent, and one Democrat, or a Republican were selected to make the poll so that there could be no objections to it. And on three days before the election Mr. Miller came to see witness at his home, and showed some interest in the proposition to poll the asylum. The matter was talked over, and Mr. Miller did not seem to want the poll taken. Witness told him that if the committee sent anybody out it would be an independent committee, composed of Captain Hitter, accomtanied by a Democrat or Republican. Mr. 'onduitt explained that Captain Ritter was the attorney for the committee and would be a fair man; but Miller objected to his being sent out on any such mission. Ho said that ho would rather have a Democrat and a Republican do the work than Ritter. During the conversation witness told Miller that tho insane and idiotic persons should not be allowed to vote. Miller replied ln substance that ho lived in the neighborhood of the poor asylum, had been familiar with the inmates of the institution for a long time, and knew they had a right to vote. He said the asj'lum was their home, if they had any, and ho could not eee why they did not have a right to vote there. Tho witness then referred him to the law, and told him he would be running a great risk if he violated it by attempting to have the men vote. Tho conversation ended by Mr. Miller saying that he proposed to see that the poor-asylnm people voted in spite of the challenges, and that as inspector he would 'disregard the challenges and receive the votes of all the inmates, t . Captain Eli F. Ritter, attorney for the Committee of One Hundred, next testified that tho executive committee of the committee named, W. H. Hobbs and himself, pcured a list of legal voters of the asylum. He made two trips to the place. The first time he went out he was informed that Mr. Williams, tho superintendent, waa not there, but he was introduced to a eon of that officer, who was steward of the institution. The young ' man informed him no lists of the voters could be secured that day. On the following day ho returned to the institution, and was given a list of names by vounc Will iams, as the superiniendent was still absent. 4T asked permission to inspect the omciai records 01 tne institution, said Mr. Ritter, "but I was told I could not do so. 1 then asked to be allowed to go through the asylum and see those who were to vote, . and that privilege was denied me. Then I aked, as a citizen of Marion county, to bo cllowed to go through the asylum, and that. too. I was not permitted to do." There will be a little more evidence taken this morning, and then the case will close. Prosecution Begun In Malice. A fcr days ago the United States marshall received a telegram from Dr. Charles J. Aldrich, of Middlebury, Elkhart county. stating that he had evidence to show that Foster &. White, general merchants of Middlebnry, were selling liquor withont a government license. On the strength of that information an affidavit was filed, and a warrant issued. Deputy Marshal Conway went to tho town named to arrest the men. Yesterday morninz the officer reA I 'iL I II I iv l ' , uinifuwiixiiup aueffeu onenaers, uavm . 11. White, -who is an ex-State Senator, and Edson Foster. Dr. Aldrich was also brought along as a witness for the government, and John H. Baker accompanied tho party a a witness for tho accused. Com missioner van isnren began bearing the ca.se at noon and before he had gone far in heariug testimony, ho discovered that the arrest was purely tho . resuir oi spite-work. and dismissed the prosecution. The only informa1 ion Dr. Aldrich could fnrniah was that J.hn H. Baker was getting whisky from Mr. White. The storv told by Senator lute was that he was troubled with attacks of severe chills, and that on tho recommendation of his physician ho procured a special brand of pure malt whisky, which ho used when he felt that the rigors were coming on. Mr. Baker had been attacked in much the eamo way, and he recommended that he use the whisky. As none of that brand could be procured in Middlebury, the defendant got a case of it from tho manufacturers, and as a matter of accommodation divided his supply with Baker and charged him what the liquor cost. Aldrich. it was stated, was about to leave the county a few weeks ago, and Foster &. White attached his personal property for several hundred dollars he owed them. He at the time, it is charged, threatened to retaliate and attempted to do so by sending the telegram to the federal officers. In dismissing the, case Commissioner Van Bnren said that while Senator White was perhaps technically guilty of violating the law in .selling the liquor to Mr. Baker, it was shown that tho prevention was begun in malice, and he would therefore throw it out of court. "Want Receiver Scholl Removed. Stanton and Scott, attorneys for tho Oilwell Supply Company, of Pittsburg, Pa., yesterday filed a petition before Judge Howe asking for the removal of Receiver Scholl, of tho Broad Ripplo Natural-gas Company. The Supply Company is tho largest creditor for pipe and gas supplies, amounting to $15,000. The grounds upon which the removal is asked for are that Mr. Scholl is tho father-in-law of F. Mans, who is a stockholder, and is identified with the

original company, and prior to his acceptance of the position as receiver 125 bonds for $1,0(10 each were issued, secured by . a trust, deed on the plant of" the Broad Ripplo Company.

These bonds were taken by Wescott dc Son, of Richmond, who own seven-tenths of tho entire stock. The plaintin claims that this action looks very much as if the gas company had mortgaged its entire plant to itself. Mr. Scholl is a trustee of the trust. and the plaintiffs ask for a man in his place who is not identified with tho company, either by way of personal relation to its stockholders or or a position as trustee. The case will be heard next Tuesday. Another Constitutional Question. Judge Howland yesterday heard the argument in the case of John W. Riley against Governor Hovey for his commission as trustee of the Blind Institution, but a decision will not be rendered until early next week. The argument traversed the same points that were nrged for plaintiff and defenso in the Insane Hospital case. The former, however, claimed that his position was strengthened by tho reecnt decision of the Supreme Court. It was urged by the defense, though, that as at the time the State Constitution was adopted the trustees for the Institute for the Blind were appointed by the Governor, their first selection being made by the Legislature, but thereafter becoming executive appointments, the law now giving the Legislature power to elect is unconstitutional. New Juries Drawn. The jury commissioners yesterday drew the following jurors for the May term in tho Circuit Court: George. C. Webster, Henry Harraoning, George W. Huggins, James McKee, Center township; W. P. Long, Henry Fink, Pike; James A. Barnett, William Boat wright. Decatur; Levi Kitter, Lawrence; Emerson G. Moore, Perry; John C. Bamhill, Wayne; John Swails, Franklin. The following were drawn for the May term iu room No. 2, Superior Court: W. K. Johnson. George L. Gadden, Wm. H. Watt, Wayno township; Thomas Schooley. Alexander Myers, tranklin; Noah McCreery, Jonathan Compton, Decatur; George Spees, Joseph Wright, Robert Smith, Perry; Matthew Hart man, Center; Ramey Fox, Washington. Verdict In a Libel Suit. Grant Rooker, of Castleton, yesterday obtained a judgment for $4,000 in his libel suit against Dr. James I. Rooker and Miss Gertrude Rooker in the Circuit Court. The history of tho suit is brief. Miss Rooker, it is claimed, wrote Grant Hooker's mother a letter, accusing her son of having forged a check for 33, which was presented for Iiayruent at the Indianapolis National tank. In the suit it is claimed that the defendant. Dr. Rooker, was the instigator of the libelous charge in order to become possessed of some real estate to which Grant Rooker holds a claim. Guilty on Several Charges. Charles Trowbridge. Charles Stanley and James Harper, accused of stealing harness on four indictments of the grand jury, were before Judge Irvin, in the Criminal Court, yesterday, to answer to the charge of petit larceny in each case. Trowbridgo was found guilty in all four charges, James Harper in three out of tho four, and Charles Stanley not guilty in any. Trowbridge and Harper were remanded to jail to await sentences. ' Notes from the Dockets. The caso of A. S. Wright against County Recorder Brink, for injunction, was given a hearing before Judge Taylor yesterday morning, but a decision will not bo rendered until Monday. It is thought that the complaint will not be sustained. The first suit that has been filed against tho Broad Ripple Natural-gas Company since its insolvency appeared yesterday in the Superior Court. The company executed a promissory note for $1,600 to the Allison Manufacturing Company last March, which, it is claimed, is long past due. An additional $100 over and above the face of the note is asked for. The Court Record. SUPERIOR COURT. Room 1 lion. Napoleon B. Taylor. Judge.

His Veteran Soldiers Can Walk in the Memorial Day Tarade Only as Individuate. The trouble in Koontz's alleged Grand Army organization, on Thursday night, it is said by those who generally know what goes on among its members, occurred over a proposition to join with the G. A. R. in the observance of Memorial day. About one-third of the members, including the president, R. A. Taylor, favored participating in tho exercises, while tho remainder opposed it, because they thought the organization would . be given an insignificant position, if any at all, in the parade. Tho discussion, it is reported, was very spirited, and when the majority voted not to turn out, Mr. Taylor handed in his resignation, and D. C. Thompson was elected to succeed him. But Isaac N. Bradwell, secretary of the meeting, says there is no lack of harmony among the members of the "post." Ho claims that President laylors resignation had been prepared for several days, and was not prompted by the refusal of the post" to participate in the Memorial day exercises. ie further says there was no "Dolt," and hat the organization is as prosperous as it ias ever been. 'It was notnecessary fortheoiganization to consider the advisability of joining in tho Memorial day observance," said a prominent G. A. R. man yesterday. "It would not bo allowed to take part in the exercises if it wanted to do so. The rules of the G. A. R. prohibit an' political organizations from joining in the celebration of the day. and this alleged G. A. R. of Koontz is nothing but a Democratic club. Last year, when the Prohibitionists attempted to get a place in the parade for the "Blue and the Gray Club," Adjutant-general Walker issued a proclamation barring it. and he would have done the same thing this year if Koontz's Democrats had attempted to turn out. They may march as individuals, but they cannot come out as an organization."

AFFAIRS OF THE SCIIOOLS

Increase in Enrollment lmtMeasle3 Keep Down the Percentage of Attendance. A Lively Discussion Occurs on the Text-Book Question, Brought About by ; Motions for Studies in German District Boundaries. The regular meeting of the School Boayd last night, in addition to the usual number of long reports, was characterized by lively discussion on a number of topics pertinent to the educational interests of the city at the present time. The secretary's report showed warrants amounting to $19,213.81 as having been drawn for the month of April, while the treasurer reported an overdraft of 156,399.47. There is on hand $S,4S8.46 in cash. Superintendent Jones, in his monthly statement regarding the schools, said that during the month of . April there were 13,493 pupils attending school, as compared to 12,860 in April, 1SS8. Ninety-one and two-tenths per cent, have sustained their enrollment since April 1, as over 92.4 per cent, in April, 1888, the decrease being caused, it is thought, by the prevalence of measles this year. During the past month nineteen pupils were suspended for absence and sixteen for misconduct, while corporal punishmeot was administered to forty-four. In April of last year 101 received corporal punishment. The reports from tho standing committees were unusually plentiful as well as exhaustive. That on financo and auditing reported bills presented and allowed aggregating 81.10i.9l. The committee on buildings and grounds gave cause for the first discussion of tho evening. It recommended the purchase of $0,400 worth of real estate on College avenue, near Eleventh street, and 2,5ru) worth on Lincoln lane for building purposes. As to the complaint that had been made bv citizens in tho neighborhood of district building No. 10 against the proximity of the janitor's building and the out-houses to the main building, the committee opposed a change owing to the , great expense that would be ; incurred. The committee seemed to ' disregard the sanitary side of the question, as its position was based wholly upon a question of economy. Mr. Conner opposed tho report, claiming that the estimate-: of the expense by the committee, which was placed at $800, was too largo, and that health is prior to needless economy. Air. Frenzel favored the action of the committee. Mr. Hendrickson, the superintendent of buildings, being called on for his opinion, took the ground that if one building is to be given the right of having itsout-hbuses moved to a greater distance, all would have the same privilege. There were, ho said, already in his Fossession at least twelve similar petitions. Ie favored a compromise, but after further discussion the matter was referred back to the committee. The committee on text-books was not ready to make its report, and by action of the board it was given an extension of time, but the discussion that would have ensued had a report been presented, was not averted. Mr. Vonnegut, chairman of, the committee on German, music and drawing, presented a series of motions recommending the appointment of a teacher in music at an annual salary of 1,200 or 1,500; the introduction of a new text-book in geogra-. phy to be translated into German and used as a supplementary text; and a change in German readers now in use. The first motion was adopted, but the second was given an hour's discussion before .any final action was taken. Mr. Conner opposed it because the new school-book law would conflict with the action of the board if it prevailed, and in point of time it was far too early to take any steps in view of tho fa ct that the law was very plain in t its meaning. Mr. Haughey also opposed it, but for financial reasons as well as those Mr. Conner had E resented. Ho could not favor, e said, spending a largo sum of money before a decided step had been taken by the State Board of Education. Mr. Vonnegut, in defense of his motion, stated that lie was assured there would be no financial loss to the board, but in case there should be, he himself would become responsible for it. Mr. Frenzel occupied some time in stating his reasons for favoring the change. It really made no difference, he claimed, to the School Board if the State Board of Education does control the change of text-books, because the State board would not consider a book of the character proposed by Mr. Vonnegut. It was not a textbook proper, but simply an auxiliary to the teacher and pupil in common, and the law in question refers only to text-books. Indianapolis stands; alone in its plan of teaching German and the change suggested could only advance its interests, lor the book will contain only the fixed geographical facts found in all books of its kind. Mr. Greenstreet returned to the financial difficulty, and expressed no desire to see the board sink its funds in what might prove an experiment. If Mr. Vonnegut would not only agree to shoulder any loss that might occur, but also to refund at tho end of the first year all cash invested by the board iu case tho books should not prove a success, ho would vote in the affirmative; otherwise he was strongly opposed to the plan. Mr. Conner considered it an unwise policy to adopt the change at this time, as it is in direct opposition to the new law. Ho favored an extension of timo in which to thoroughly consider the matter. Mr. Baker suggested that the question be held in abeyance until tho State board makes its report, but the opinion of tho commissioners seemed to be otherwise, as the vote on the question stood seven yeas to three nays. The third motion of Mr. Vonnegut. relative to the change in German readers, occasioned much the same discussion that was given to that on the change in geographical texts, and. after additional talk, the matter was laid upon the table for future consideration. An attempt was made to reconsider the action, by Mr. Frenzel, but failed to pass the board. Mr. Conner, chairman of the committee on finance and auditing, offered a report in regard to the loan authorized by the board at a previous meeting, recommending that advertisement for bids be made tor the sale of ten-year bonds for 80,000, to bear interest at 4 per cent., and, also, for jo,000 on the same terms. A loan of 17,000 for tho purchase of grounds and houses was also recommended, and tho entire report was concurred in. Mr. Frenzel was tho cause of the last discussion of the evening. He introduced a resolution favoring a change in the boundary lines of the First, Second and Third districts, from which school commissioners are elected. The object of the change was the possibility of re-electing Dr. Henry Jameson, the president of the board, whoso terra expires in July. Dr. Jameson has moved out or the district which he represents, and it was the unanimous expression of the board that his service as a commissioner had been of groat value. Such a strong desire to secure his re-election was manifested that a change of boundaries was suggested. The board had a good precedent, Mr. Frengel claimed, on which to base its action, as the same plan had been adopted in the case of Dr. Carey some years ago. Soveral members of the board, while they all expressed a desire to retain Dr. Jameson, opposed the plan because of its similarity to a partisan gerrymander, and the matter was referred back to the committee, with instructions to make a report at its next regular meeting, after whicn the board adjourned.

The blood, laden with impurities which have been accumulating for months, moves sluggishly through the veins, the mind fails to think quickly, and the body is still slower to respond. Hood's Bars3parilla is just what Is needed. It purifies vitalizes, and enriches the blood, makes the head clear, creates an appetite, overcomes that tired feeling, tones the nervous system, aud imparts new strength and vigor to the whole body.

SCIENTIFIC OPTICALTEST ' BY Prof. G. D. Edmonson, 28 E. "WASHINGTON ST., INDIANAPOLIS. IND, Let every'' man, woman and child try this wonderful test by simply shading one eye and look at this wheel with the other. If every spoke is perfect down to the fine point, and all the points are alike perfect and clear, and you can see the same from twelve to twenty inches, your sight is perfect; but should the points blur, your sight is not perfect. But if some of the spokes are clearer and blacker than others, then you have ASTIGMATISM, a condition which will certainly become serious, if not corrected with Spectacles. Professor Edmonson makes scientific tests, FREE, at Comstock's Jewelry Store, No. 28 East Washington street, opposite the New York Store.
