Poguo's run has dropped to such an extent that the contractors walling it up between Delaware and Pennsylvania streets, yesterday afternoon, resumed work. Fall creek is still higher than its normal condition, hut not up to high-water mark by ten feet. White river is fast getting back to its ordiuary height during rainy seasons. The Vandalia, at 2 p. m. yesterday, got the bridge over Eagle creek in condition fortrains to useit. The Lake Erie .V Western reported their bridges again in order, and trains running regularly, and the O., I. Jc W. and tho I. fct. L. make a uimil.ir report. The other roads had no trouble with bridges except from the large accumulations of drift-wood, which they were enabled to remove before any damage was done. One of the railroad officials etated that the chief cause was the fact that not forfhree years has there been any bish waters, ami the fanners all along the streams have been dumping their rubbish, stumps, etc.. into the fttrearas. and trees havo blown down, all of which have, with the high waters, moved out into tho stream to float down, and endangered the bridges. 3W sailor good at Wm, L.

THE BOARD OP ALDERMEN'.

A Plan Presented for Saving the City Unneo essary Expense for Street jLiglitinj. The Board of Aldermen did little last night hut discuss tho question of puhlic lighting. Under the provisions of the contract with tho Indianapolis Gas-light and Coke Company and tho Brush Electriclight Company, entered into July 23, 1SS3, it was made tho duty of tho committees on public light of the Council and Board of Aldermen to require such a number of gas lights extinguished as in their judgment might bo displaced by the one hundred electric lights. From time to time the committees havo ordered gas lights extinguished nntil S10 lights in all havo been discontinued. It has been apparent all along that a much greater number of lights should be dispensed with, and as the Council and Board couldn't agree on tho number or their location, a conference committee composed of three aldermen, three councilmen and the citj' civil engineer, was appointed several weeks ago, with instructions to go over the territory and determine how many more gas-lights should come down. Several unsuccessful efforts to get the members of the committee together were made, and the aldermanic committee on light then decided to take the question in hand themselves. Aldermen D. Taylor and Kail spent several nights inspecting the territory, and last night submitted to the board their report. They stated that it was certainly apparent to anv citizen that a greater number of gas-lights than S10 bhould be extinguished, and recommended that 210 more be discontinued, located along the following streets now lit by electricity: Washington street 31, Massachusetts avenue 27, Ohio street 3, Delaware 2, Market 5, Pennsylvania 5, Vermont 1, Indiana avenue 27, MendianSS, South Pennsylvania 5, Illinois 4, Last Washington 29, National road 5, South Illinois 11, Virginia avenue 18, Alabama 5, South Delaware 8, Now Jersey 5 and South Meridian 5. Tho report then says: "On March 1, 1SJ9, the city was paying for street lighting the following rate per annum: 2.&VJ gas lamps at $15 each, SC9.S70; 240 vapor lamps at 813 each, $4,423. and one hundred electric lights at $00 each, $6,000. Total, $30,2118, Afterwards the 310 gas lights were discontinued, and three remantled. making tho present cost of street lighting per annum as follows: Two thousand three hundred and fifty-one gas lamps at $15 each. $15,205; 240 vapor lamps at $18 each. nrovided for by nance, lhe ordinance originally provided for the erection of 250 vapor lamps for a period of three years, the three years' limit having expired soverai mouths ago as to 125 lamps. In the opiniou of your committee tho city ought to discontinue the extra number, being 121. liy discontinuing the 210 gas lamps as herein recommended aud the extra 121 vapor lamps not authorized, would make the cost of street lighting as follows: 2,186 gas lamps, at $15 each, $32,0o5; 125 vapor lamps, at $18 each, $2,250; 100 electric litrhts, at $00 each, $G,(XJ0. Total, $40,2b5. This would light nil the territory now lighted by gas end electric light at'au annual saving of S5.40S. It would be a reduction of 52o gas lamps, or one electric light at $00, would displace 5.00 gas lamps, at $78.90 per annum. t "It is the opinion of your committee that light must oo provided for the newlybuilt up portions of the city around the outskirts. What would be the cost and at the saino time the most economical light for these sections! Which is the best light, electric, gas or vapor? In the built-up portions of tho city, as herein shown, ono electric light will displace 5 20-100 gas lamps. Is it not fair to conclude that in the outskirts this proportion would be gTeatly iucreasedf Under the contract with the Brush Electric-light Company the city has tho right to require the erection or any additional lights anywhere within the corporate limits at fSl each per annum. Tho reduction of gas and vapor lights proposed by your committee would enable citizens liviug in the outskirts of the city who are now without light, to have erected and maintained sixty-seven electric lights withoutincurnng the expenditure of one more cent than is being paid at this time for street lights. j Wo therefore recommend that the 210 additional gas lamps, located as herein designated, be immediately discontinued." Alderman Smith doubted if the report should be concurred in, for the reason that it had not been submitted to the members of the conference committee from tho Council. He feared they would never support such a report, even if the board should concur in its recommendations. Alderman Taylor related his efforts to get the Council members of the committee to assist in determining how many lights 6hould be discontinued. find stated that he had presented his report to them, and that they had refused to sign it. President Wright urged the adoption of tho report. He said it was disgraceful that tho city should bo paying for double lighting, lie thought the board shonld adopt the report and allow the responsibility of paying for double lighting rest with the Council. He said the present expenditures for double lighting was negligent if not criminal, and must be stopped. The board, he urged, could not atl'ord to longer sit quietly and allow such an expenditure to go on. After nearly all the members had expressed themselves, tho report was amended so as to provide for the removal of all the gas lights on East Washingtou street, and it was then unauimouslv adopted. The board transacted considerable routine business, and concurred in tho action of the Ceuncil on a great many matters of minor importance; the ordinance providing that any street-railway company, before building a track npon any street, shall secure a permit from the Board of Public Improvements: also, the ordinance prohibiting the piling of barrels of coal oil on the sidewalks. The vote by which the ordinance permitting the hotels south of the Union tracks to solicit trade at the Union Station was reconsidered, and the ordinance was referred to a committee for further investigation. The ordinance inflicting a penalty against tho Brush Klec-tric-light Company for running incandescent light from arc-light wires was stricken from the files. The street-railway company came in for a passing notice. It was ordered to sprinkle its tracks along the streets around Military Park, and then the Council resolution proposing to allow the company to use electric-motor power on Illinois street was discussed at somo length. Tho resolution, however, could not be found, and action on it had to be postponed. BOARD OF TRADE OFFICERS. An Exciting Election Resulting in a Triumph for the Independent Ticket. The election yesterday for officers of the Board of Trade was an earnest and exciting contest for that scdato organization of business men, the interest centering in the election of treasurer, and bringing out a larger vote than has before happened for years. A qualification for voting was that the member desiring to cast his ballot should show his receipt for all dues and fees and the result was tho payment by voters of $37.S9. There wero three tickets in the field, the "Regular," the "Independent" and the "Citizens'," but few of the 235 votes cast were the Citizens ticket and the Kcgnlarand Independent ticketsdiffered only in the candidates for treasurer, O. N. Frehzel, of tho Meridian National Bank, being the candidate oc the former, and V. F. C. Colt, of the Indianapolis National Bank, on the latter. During the afternoon there was an warm campaigning as at a city election, but when the -ballots were counted Mr. Uolt had received 150 votes to 129 cast for Mr. Frenzel, a majority of seventeen. The full list of officers elected reads as follows: rrtsldent Geo. O. Tanner. Vice-president-Win. F. rid, Jr. Treasurer W. FC. Glt. Governors Wm. fccott. V. A. Richardson, I. 8. Cordon, w. 11.

The collection for the Johnstown sufferers, taken up in the Catholic churches of this city last Sunday, was without such previous notice, but the result was gratifying, and all the more so because many of the givers hwe been well represented at other times and places in contributions for the relief of the 6ull'erers. Tho amounts contributed were as follows: St. Patrick's Church, $57; St. Mary's, SX; Sacred Heart, $51.43; St. Bridget's, $25: St. Joseph's, $02.00; St. John's, $78.40. Total, $3o9.4$.

The Mathesian Literary Society gave its thirty-fourth annual exhibition in the college chapel, at Butler University, last night. This society is the oldest of its kind in the university, and numbers among its alumni many well-known Indianapolis men. The music included solos on tho violin and cornet, by Mr. Tom Layman, of Irvington, aud Mr. Arbuckle, of this city. Tho Misses Ashbrook and Mr. A. . Ilarman, also of Indianapolis, gave two vocal numbers. The literary part of the programme commenced with an essay hy Geo. E. Hicks, on "Luck or Pluck WhichTn Homer S. Blount and Charts A.

The Courts Called Upon to Decide Whether Work on the Sabbath Was Necessary. About one-half the farmers of Washington township were in Judge Howe's court, yesterday, either as witnesses or spectators, in the suit of Robert C. Light against William Dawson and Daniel Magie for $5,000 damages. The parties to the suit are nil well-to-do farmers of that township. The case presents some novel features. Tho plaintiff, Robert C. Light, is a gTeat wheatgrower, and as tho grain ripened rapidly last year, ho found it necessary, in his own judgment, to run his reaper on Sunday. Accordingly ho cut the grain all day on Sunday. July 3, and in doing so worked a considerable force of men. Many of the neighbors were shocked at tho desecration of the Sabbath, and Messrs. Dawson and Macie had Mr. Light arrested on the charge of Sabbath desecration. The justice of the peace of the township held that Mr. Light was doing a work of necessity and dismissed the case. Following tho dismissing of the case, Mr. Light brought suit against Messrs. Dawson ana Ma pie for damages for malicious prosecution, alleging that the notice of his arrest was published in many newspapers, aud that his character was greatly damaged. The result of the suit hinges upon the question as to whether the wheat was so ripe that it had to be cut on Sunday to be saved. All the neighbors of Mr. Light are summoned as expert witnesses as to tho condition of the grain on the day it was harvested. The National Target-Shooting Tournament. The tournament of the National Targetshooting Association, which will bo held here, beginning on the lOth.inst., will be a very pretentious , atfair, and will attract riflemen from all over the country.

Iowa, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin will be represented, some of them by several clubs, and it is estimated that there will be 50,000 shots fired each day of the tournament, which will last several days. Tho prizes offered are valued at $10,000. Tho city will be full of strangers, and a royal good time is promised them by the members of tho Indianapolis Target-shooting Association, under whose auspices the tournament will bo held. w Buildings to Be Erected.

A YISITINVt riUEST.

Father GaiJo, of Pittsburg, Narrates Some Remarkable Things He Saw at Johnstown. Father Guido, of Pittsburg, Pa., is stopping for a few days with Father Scheideler. pastor of St. Mary's Catholic Church. He is tho superior of tho House of Passionist Fathers, and, to-morrow night, at St. Mary's Church, ho will preach to the Italians of this city in their own language, he being a Koman born, though speaking English with a grace and beauty that few speakers possess. Father Gnido went to Johnstown from Pittsburg, and wns among the first to arrive upon the awful scene, going on a train that carried in one coach fifty-four undertakers and six clergymeu. "There are two Catholic churches' said this Italian priest, "in Johnstown and two in Cambria City ono English and one German church in each place. The parish schools in these two places are taught by Sisters of Charity and Franciscans, and a most wonderful thin g connected with this calamity is, that not one of the sisters perished, though there are twenty-seven of them, and they were scattered about, not all in one place, and not ono of the six priests. I shall not attempt to describe what I saw there. No matter what you havo read, and the newspapers have been filled with accounts of the terrible happenings, and with illustrations of the scenes of disaster, it is impossible to form an idea of the ruin that has been wrought." "Tell about Father Corbinnian," suggested Father Scheideler. Father Corbinnian is known in Indianapolis, having preached for three days at St. Mary's Church about seven years ago. He was a class-mate of Father Scheideler. "He is, as I am, like a soldier," continued Father Guido, "aud must go where ho ia sent. Ho is of the Order of Benedictines. Things happen wherever he goes. He was in the great fire in Chicago; two months ago he was taken away from Williamstowu to the regret of tho people there, and sent to Johnstown. He was saved, though badly alllicted with rheumatism and hardly able to move." "What about, that statue of the Virgin in that church in Cambria City!" inquired tho reporter. T have no desire to make a miracle of it," said tho priest. "The last day of last month the May devotions closed, and the shrine was adorned with llowers. When the flood came it pushed in tho gTeat windows, the waters rushed into the church, rising to a height of fifteen feet, lifting up the floors and pews. Five corpses were taken out of the church, which is ruined as I saw by a great deposit of sediment and slime, 'l he Hood was two feet higher than the head of the statue, yet the statue was not washed away, but stands there intact, and the rich and delicate laces with which it is adorned are as clean as though they had just come from the laundry. People are flocking in to look at it, and the wreaths and flowers, like the laces, were undisturbed by tho waters." UIGfl-SCUOOL COMMENCEMENT.

Before leaving for New York last week Treasurer of State Lemcko addressed a circular letter to the board of commissioners of each county asking if they would take drafts on New York for the money to which the county will be entitled under the proposed refunding of the common school fund. He says it will cost the State something like $4,000 to bring the $3,005,000 from New York to this city, whereas this expenditure on the part of the State can be saved if tho counties will take New York exchange instead. As each of the county auditors will doubtless deposit the money in bank as soon as it is received, a dratt can be similarly deposited, and tho exchange be made in the regnlar course of business, thus saving the expense of bringing the money from New York in bulk. In some of the counties New York exchange is at a slight premium, and there is little doubt but drafts instead of cash will be accepted, though the Treasurer will have to deliver tho cash if it should be insisted upon by any of the counties. The Builders' Exchange. At the annual meeting of the Builders Exchange, which was held a day or two ago, the exchange is shown to be in excellent condition, with a promiiiug outlook for the ensuing year. One hundred and twenty members are on the roll in good standing. Officers were elected for the ensuing year as follows: President, Conrad Bender; first vice-president, C.
