PETTIS, BASSETT & CO A HGHT OF EIGHT B0UXDS. Colored Amateurs Try Their Skill in the Ring, tut the InferiorMan Wins on a Foul. An cflect of the Snllivaii-Kilrain mill was felt yesterday in local sporting circles, when two colored amateurs, Stephen Yaeger, a boot-black at Glemvood's barbershop, and Charles Kichaidson, the porter at Foster's clothing store, on North Illinois street, tried to emulate tbo tw o men who fought at Kichburg. For somo time past there has been a good deal of glove practice at Levrark's livery 6table, particularly between Yaeger and Richardson. It was agreed to have tho matter as to who was tho best man settled yesterday afternoon, iu tho stable named, but it was thought that roomier quarters were necessary for tho match. A spot near tho aqueduct at Uriglifon IJeach was therefore chosen for the ieu of the combat. After reaching that place, tho principals being attended by ouite a crowd, a sixteen-foot ring was roped off. liets rau 6evcn to one in favor of Yaeger. No pnrse had ben made np. but a gold badge, worth, about $1CP0, was to be awarded the best man. Tho right began at o o'clock, and lasted an hour and a half, eight rounds being fought. Kichardson's second wasG. L, Glenwood, while Abe Solomon acted as second man for Yaeger. Julius (Jumbinsky was timekeeper and Den Man referee. Yaeger stood well in tho first and second rounds, but in tho third rau, after receiving a blow on tho left iaw. In the fourth round Richardson again made Yagor run, striking him in the breaat and in the head. Yaeger -would not light in the lifth, alt hough the- crowd yelled "come up and light.' and Kichardsnn asked the sauio favor of him; tinally the time-keeper forced him to too the scratch. This time Yaeper received a blow in the Rtoinach and claimed a foul which wa nut allowed. In the sixth and beventh Yaeger ran. In the. eighth Richardson hit his opponent in thelcttear; Yaeger again ran and was knocked down. While falling ho was struck again by Richardson. Yaeger "was then given the medal on a fonl. A purse of (Swan made up for Richardson. Richardson then fought with ( ilchrist, also colored, and only sixteen yea.a of age. Tho latter won. 0? ncs desks at Vim. U Elder's.

CITY AFFAIRS CONSIDERED

The Julien Electric-Car Company Given Permission to Test Its Storage System. Paying Ordinances Under Discussion Aldermen Spend a Fruitless Hour Considering the Brightwood Street Railway. THE CITY COUNCrx. An Evening Taken Up in Considers tlonof Street Railroad and raring Questions. Tho City Council was called to order by Councilman Pear&on, last night, in tho absence of Mayor Denny, and an unusual amount of routine bmincss was transacted The Council chamber was filled with citizens, who had coraft expecting to witness considerable vigorous discussion on the subjects of vulcanite street pavements and electric rapid-transit cars. The first intimation that their hones would be realized was when Councilman Darnell took tho lioor, and moved to reconsider tho vulcanite improvement ordinances, which were passed at the last meeting, providing for the pavement of Pennsylvania street, from Second to Seventh 6treet, and from Ohio to Washington street. 'I voted for that ordinance," said he, "but I did not intend to. I discovered the next day that if I nad voted in the affirmative 1 had made a mistake. I move a reconsideration, simply because I -want to go on record correctly." Councilman Thalman, in defense of the vujcanuo movement, earn mat only one property -holder in his ward was opposed to the laying of the pavement. "I told my people," ho continued, "that I would prosent a remonstrance if one was prepared, but not a lino in writing has been submitted to me." Councilman Coy was on tho floor waiting for Mr. Thalman to conclude in order to have an opportunity to reply to Mr. Darnell. "I voted for that ordinance, and when I did so I knew what 1 was doing. 1 must confess that I am surprised in the gentleman on the other side of the house, lie has been in the Council long enough to know what ho votes for, and there must bo something back of it alL Mr. Darnell listened to a speech on the original ordinanco for an hour, and now he comes up here and says he didn't know what he was vot ing lor. I fail to understand it, Mr. Chairman." "1 claim," retorted Mr. Darnell, "that Mr. Coy has no right to impugn my motives. 1 would even suggest to him that he should know what he is talking about before ho makes such statements.'1 'Oh. for that matter. I nsnallv knnr what I want," quietly replied Mr. Coy. before tho discussion could be carried farther a voto was taken, resulting in a failure to reconsider the original ordinance. Ayes, 5; nays, 17. Councilman Darnell, when the call for miscellaneous business was made, was tho occasion for tho second general discussion in which the Council engaged by offering three consecutive resolutions touching tho street-car question. The hrat was that the Jnlien Electric Motor Company, of New York, be permitted to experiment with their storage system in operating street-cars on the Citizens' company's tracks on Illinois street, from the Union Station to Crown Hill Cemetery, providing that the consent of the Citizens' company can bo secured; that the adoption of the motion be not so construed an granting au extended charter to either company, and that the experiment last but 150 days. Councilman femith desired to amend this motion by including Christian or College avenue as streets upon which the experiment might be tried. Councilman Thalman favored the original motion because, as he said, as soon as an amendment would bo added tho prospect of having electric cars would be killed. Councilman Cummings was opposed to the active part which Air. Hmith was taking in tho discussion, on tho ground that he is a non-resident in the ward which ho was trying to defend. If College avenue or Christian avenue wanted electric cars, ho said, it was not Mr. Smith's duty to push their interests before their new representatives had taken a stand. Mr. Smith's amendment was lost, and tho original motion, granting tho Julien company ine ngLt ro experiment on certain conditions, was carried. Ayes Burns, Cummings, Darnell, Dunn. Elliott, Gasper, Johnston, Markey, McClelland, O'Connor, Pearson, Smith, Stuckmeyer, Thalman, Wilson 15. Nays Coy, Gaul, Kelley, Long, Parkinson. Trusler 6. The second attack upon the street-car company by Mr. Darnell was in the shape of a motion to have its tracks taken up on Tennessee street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, it being claimed that they were a nuisance to tho residents in that vicinity, and in case the company refused that tho city commissioner be instructed to tear them up at the company's exense. The matter was referred to the city attorney. As a last measure Mr. Darnell claimed that the Citizens' company is daily violating tho city ordinance by not running cars on English avenue that measuro np to tho staudard in point of comfort and convenience. This was also referred to the city attorney. Councilman Stuckmeyer, however, took the matter up and moved that the city bring suit agaiust tho Citizens' company to compel it to run its cars at intervals of fifteen minutes, instead of every half hour, as is its present custom. This, he said, was also a violation of tho ordinance, and after considerable discussion the motion pre vailed. Aves 11. nays 9. Tho routine business of tho evening was -of the usual monotonous type. City hn gineer Shawver reported that ne had sent a communication to John Caven, president of the Indianapolis Brush Electric-light and Power Company, and to C. C. Perry, agent of the Indianapolis Electric-light Com pany, to the ellect that the ordinance per taining to electric lights had been repealed in 15i8. and that all companies doing busi ness in tho city since its passage have violated its provisions by failing to accept the same and to givo bonds. They were therefore ordered not to hang any more wires or set any more poles until these conditions bo complied with. No reply, however, had been received to tho communication, the re port was referred to the city attorney. with power to resort to local measures. County Auditor Taggart submitted a report, showing that there is ?J9,52M due tho city from the collection of taxes for tho first installment, 1SNA. On motion of Coun cilman Trusler, chairman of the committee on tiro department. Dr. Bert G. Orlopp was appointed veterinary surgeon for the department, to succeed Dr. Armstrong, whose resignation was accepted. Tho total expenses of the department from Jan. 1 to Juno SO has beeu 84.61, leaving a balance on hand of ?IC4.2.. ihe committee on streets and alleys recommended that tho ordinanco providing for the laving of a hncK pavement in tno west Michiganstreet roadwav be not concurred in. which was passed. After some discussion on the placing of a tew gas lamps ana vapor lights, tho Council adjourned. THE HOARD OF ALDERMEN. An Hour Spent In Considering the Brightwood Klectric-Car Question. The Board of Aldermen, in special session, spent an hour last night in wrestling with tho Brightwood electric-car question, while the Council, just across the hall, was hurrying through its varied programme of ordinances and motions. The ordinance which was passed at tho last meeting of tho Council came before the board last Monday night and was referred to the committee on street and alleys, and last night's session was called in order to hear its report. It was, however, very unsatisfactory. The ordinance was read for the first time, aud Alderman Keinecko moved to refer it to the committees on streets and alleys and judiciary, which motion was laid on tho table. Aldennan mith moved to suspend the rules and read the ordinance' a second and third time, with tinal action, which was lostyeas, 3; nays. C On motion of Alderman Keynolds to reconsider, the board became involved in a dispute as to whether the action was parliamentary. The city attorney wan called in, but he was unable to give any light upon the subject, and the whole matter of electric cars was referred bark to a joint committee, composed of the judiciary, rai'roads, and etreets and alleys.

committees, which takes in nearly all the board. Tho committee was granted further time to act. and it as finally decided to let

the ordinanco take its regular course. RATHER EARLY IN THE FIELD. The Yoorkees and Gray Contest for the Senatorship Already Causing Friction. Senator Voorhces has been, on the plea of taking a rest, disturbing the schemes of would-be Senator Gray. His recent stop ping place, where he could enjoy tho in vigorating eflects of country air, was in Sullivan county. While taking in the morning breezes and whiffing the odors of tho good, old-fashioned ilowcrs abounding near his rarra-house retreat no nas ruthlessly overturned the plans Isaac P. Gray had so cunningly laid. Until Senator Voorhees thought complete rest could not bo secured outside of Sullivan county, the representative in tho General Assembly from that locality, John T. Beasley, was an ardent supporter of the ex-Governor. It is claimed that his election and re-election were accomplished on account or. mo pledges he had made to his Undo Isaac, but now comes the information from Sullivan that his Uncle Daniel has given him his orders to proclaim him as his own snocessor in the United States Senate or keep out of tho General Assembly. An Mr. Beasley is a tjuilivan county patriot of the highest order, it is said that rather than forsake ttho vocation of law-making he will desert Gray and cast his fortunes under tho Voor hees banner. Ihe benator, having thus cared for Sullivan, proposes in a day or twotoseekmoro rest in Greene county. But as the unfalterinc down there are yearniug to hear him speak before the campaign oegms next year, no nas consemeu o give them a little talk at Bloomtield, in a few days. mis luuicaxes mat toe v oorneesanu, vray factions are already throwing out their lines aud that before long faction will bo arrayed against faction with all tho bitterness that has been nourished during the past two years. "I have had business," said a Democrat yesterday, "that has called me into several parts of the State recently. in vincennes X lound Mason J. JNiuiack, Speaker of tho last House of Kepresentatives,.taking care of Voorhecs'a interests. lhis may appear strange, as heretofore ho has been coquetting with Gray. Two years ago the ex-Governor flattered the lather of the younk Speaker bv having him named in the caucus for the United States Senate against Joseph E. McDonald. That contest resulted in a compromise, and the naming of Judge Tnrpie. It is now said by the Niblacks that Gray only used them for his own urpose, hence they aro now for Voorlees. In Vanderburg county ex-Stato Senator Rabin, now trustee of the Southern Hospital for tho Insane, and the Shanklins are lor Gray. Voorhees will have a big light in Floyd, where Hanlon and Jewctt are advancing his interests in opposition to Stotsenberc. Levden. Gwinn and Applegate, who aro in charge of the Gray forces. At Michigan Citv. too. there will be a great deal of hair-pulling, where the Murdock followers are for the ex-Governor and tho Mortimer Nye and Dr. Harrison contingents for Voorhees. with Harry Francis non-committal. Ho wants to go to Congress, fccott Kav has declared that tho Shelby district shall elect a Voor hees man, or there will be no election. Voyles, a member of tho Soldiers' Monument Commission is holding Washington county Democrats in line for Gray, becauso the honors he holds are duo to the favor of the ex-Governor." While voorhees is working actively more than a year before the election is to occnr.Gray is having an outing on the Pacific coast. He has left atfairs in charge of his son Pierre to work quietly and unostenta tiously, with the hope of catching the v ooruees men napping. JUDGE MARTINDALE'S WELL. A Fine Quality of Mineral Water Found as tho Fiesult of His Enterprise. Yesterday afternoon,-at 5 o'clock, the drillers at work upon the well at tho Denison House e truck a mineral water that is likely to prove as valuable as any that has yet been found in tho State. Tho vein was found at a depth of 0J50 feet, and tho news of the discovery going abroad, there was, in a short time, half a hundred or more amateurs and professionals sipping tho water, and enjoying its strong sulphuretted hydrogen bouquet. It has more salt in it than the Martinsville water, being nearer the Kentucky Blue Lick water, or the water found at Lodi, in this State. Those who drank it last evening, and thought it too salty, made the beverage more agreeable by diluting it with an equal part of hy drant water, which brought it down to the average Blue Lick. A half-gallon of tho water was taken to Chemist Hurty, who will make a quantitative analysis. A qual itative test shows the water to contain chlorides of sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium; sulphides of sodium, calcium and potassium; bicarbonates of sodium and potassium, and carbonate of calcium. It is said that this will make not only a lino medicinal water for drinking, but will prove to bo excellent for 'bathing, quite as good as water that Indianapolis people travel hundreds of miles to use. Judge Martmuale had faint hopes of striking nat ural gas, but. although traces of it were discovered, it does not now seem probable that this fluid will bo found in paying quantities. LAST NIGHTS FIRE. E. W. Blinn'sDry Goods Store Seriously Damaged A Fireman Injured. About 9 o'clock last night a general alarm of fire called tho firo department to E. W. Blinn's dry goods store, No. 20 West Wash ington street, which was discovered to be ablaze. The tiro originated under the second story stairway, where there was a considerable pile of rubbish. By prompt action the department soon had the flames under control, although for a short time it looked as if there might he a de structive conflagration. Ihe building, owned bv Joseph Becker, was slightly dam aged by lire, while the stock on the lower lloor suuered most from tho water. The value of the stock was about S15.000. Insured for 80.000 in tho German Insurance Company, Free-port, 111., Pacific of New York, and the Irankliu agency. Loss on this is estimated at about S1.S00. The upper lloors had been occupied until recently by J. A. Itink, cloak-dealer, but his stock had been entirely removed. Tho firo probably started from coals dropped bv tinners, who finished working there yesterday. James Davis, assistant chief tiro engineer, living at No. 277 Hast New Yorkstreet, had his right elbow severely pinched i i i i .i j -i in me sliding jauuer wnno coming aown lrom tho third story of the building.

A RIP VAX WINKLE SERIES.

So-Called Indiana Readers Eelate Only to Events and Literature of the Long Ago. It has been facetiously proposed to call tho series of readers, tho sample copies of which bear the imprint "Indiana Schoolbook Company," the Rip Van Winkle series, for the reason that the books are so far behind the times. Tho designation would not be sufficiently exact, for the lazy, good-natured Dutchman of tho vil lage of Falling Waters slept only twenty yeara, while this series of readers appear to have drowsed nearly thirty. Tho complai sant gentlemen of the board that adopted these readers have made no claim that the first, 6econd and third were up to tho requiruKU standard; but they have given a hesitating indorsement to the fourth and fifthreadersin saying that these higher text books were acceptable. They made the dubious merit of these two books an exense for taking the entire series. Neither the fourth nor the fifth readers of the "Indiana School-book Company" contain a line alluding to any of the battles for the Union or to any officer engaged on either side of that contact. There is not a word of biography of any general, not a line about the abolition of slavery, not a reference of any kind to Abraham Lincoln. The years 1801 to 1SC, in which more history was made than in all others in the life of this Nation, are ignored in these books. "They come from Missouri." said an educator yesterday, "and were mado for that State, and tho prejudices ot the survivors or tno Jesse James and Quantrell bands have been respected, for the books have nothing to tecali unpleasant memories of tho lost cause." None of the great inventions and dis coveries of the past twenty-live years aro noted in either the fourth or fifth reader. The telephone, the phonograph, the great discoveries in electricity, marvelous feats of engineering, railroads that span great continents none of these have any placo in these books intended to instruct the vounfir. There is in the fourth reader one chapter with the title "Three Great Inven tions." It tolls briefly of the manner s conmass. cunnowder. and tho art of print ing with movable types, and shows that all three are of Chinese origin. This would suggest that the. reader itself, the matter in it having so little contemporaneous interest, might as well have been compiled and printed in China. Tho same reader contains short bi ographies of Benjamin Franklin, Daniel Webster, Adams, Jeuerson, Washington, Horace Greeley and Andrew Jackson, Tho last President mentioned in this book is Andrew Jackson. It has forty lines of biography of Horace Greoloy, but there is not ono word as to his opposition to slavery or his services for the Union. It is a little remarkable, however, that Horace Greeley should be in this Missouri text-book at all when it is recalled how the folts down that way used to Oh. for a shot at a Yankee school-teacher, . And oh, for a crack at old Greeley and Beecher. The engravings in the fourth reader are ridiculously inartistic. On page 127 there is a picture illustrating a title, "Walking on a renre." that would, maue any ooy laugh. The "fence," as shown in the enT. J . 1. a . t- A 1. !lt. graving, lsauouDeigiiieen uiciies uiku, wiiu but one rail, and that at the ton. This rail is plainly shown to be six inches wide, and yet the boys, in the most awkward attituaes. are represented as waiKing it in great nervousness and in imminent danger of falling oil'. Boys all over this city walk picket fences six to eight feet high with the agilty of cats, and maintain their bal ance no matter how narrow and precarious the footing. Such youngsters would look upon a baby picture like this with fine scorn. The fifth reader selections aro nearly all old. and were old thirty years ago. The nearest approach to saying anything relating to tho lato unpleasantness is in twenty-four lines on "Liberty of the Press," an extract from tbo remarkable speech of Col. E. D. Baker, United States benator from Uregou. Ihe speech was made but a short time beforo his death at Ball's Mutt', he being one of tho first to fall in the battles for the Union. There were parts of that speech mnch stronger than the few lines selected. but the wonder is that any of the utter ances of that patriot should havo cot into this "non-partisan" text-book. The last reading lesson in the book, page S47, is entitled "Crusader and Saracen." A note introducing the lesson says: , "lhis extract is taken fiom Walter Scott's novel. "The Talisman." Richard Cceur do Leon is tho unristian Knignt ana aiaain, me Saracen warrior." Phis is a brilliant bit of misinformation. Probably nine out of ten fifth-reader school-boys could set the author of tho book right and tell him that tho Christian hero in this bout with tho Saracen was not Richard the Lion-heaited at all, but the Knight of the Leopard, David of Scotland. There are other blunders in the book quite as bad. The members of the Indiana School-book Company are probably successors in business o that publishing house frequently referred to by the late George C. Harding, "the well-established firm of Puterbaugh, Eliphalet &. Co., Hardecrabblo. Ind." THE POLITICAL SITUATION. Jesse Harper, of Illinois, Thinks the Greenback Tarty Is "Oittin' on Its Feet." Jesse Harper, of Illinois, a relic of the Greenback party, stopped in the city for a lew hours yesterday, on his way to Porn, this State, where ho is to speak to-night. It was arranged to havo him speak here at the Criminal Court room last night, and by ten ln'nutes of 8 o'clock about two dozen people had gathered about tho doors of that court All was dark within and the place was locked. When the clock in tho tower struck 8 the crowd, after the most bitter denunciations of Gooso Eden, tho inhospitable janitor, began to talk of going elsewhcro to find a place for tho meeting. "I'm none of y'r band-boxy fellers." said Colonel Harper, encouragingly. "Lor a mighty, I kin speak anywhere. Le's go outside on the grass." As the throng moved out to the front steps of the courthouse, the orator, talking to three or four who were conducting him, remarked that tho National Labor Greenback party was "a-gittin' on its feet." "Why said the Colonel, "I got a most encouragin' letter from Ioway the other day. and 1 also got a letter from old Shinn, in West Virginia, and he says the time is ripe there and he in organizing to make a fight." It is not unlikely between Shinn in Virginia and "the man in Ioway" that the two dominant parties will be crushed in IvJi. "I don't caro for tho street-cars." said the Colonel when he arrived at tho steps. They don't disturb me: I km talk accainst anything." His lung power is really something astonishing, quite as much as an'thmg he says, though he deals in big figures in a very dizzy way. Hesaidthemostappalling fact in Christendom, by which he meant Europe and America, was its debt. "Christendom is in debt," said the Colonel, "one hundred billions of money and thirty-five billions of this amount is owed by the people of this Republic This is a fact so overwhelming that it staggers the people. It takes two billions, seven hundred millions a year to pay tho interest on this debt. Only think of it, every man, woman and child of this nation of sixtv-three millions of people has to pay annually $15 in interest." 13y the way, the subject of Colonel Harpers address was "Ihe Political Situa tion." Insane Hospital Appointments. In addition to tho appointment of Dr. Browning as one of tho medicaid staff at the Insane Hospital, Dr. Curtis, of Waldron, has taken tho position occupied by Dr. Wiles. This Dr. Curtis is a brother of the young legislator of Marion countv who proposed to have this city governed by a democratic board of public works and affairs. Dr. "Walters has also been given a place. Simon D. Ncidigh, of Nashville, is the now steward at the hospital, and Kobrrt N. Smith, of Fairland, is the storekeeper. Subsistence for the Militia. Quartermaster-general Pope, of the State militia, yesterday opened eeveral bids for subsistence, during the coming encampment. Farrott & Taggart and Nickum proposed to tupply tho bread at wholesale rates. Groceries and nrovisiots were offered by Stimuli &.Co.f Kothc, Wells &4

Bauer and Syfers, McBnde & Co. at figures based on market rate foar those snpplies. There were several other ijdders on meat, potatoes and the variety of vegetables. The awards must be made inaday or two, as the encampment begins Monday next. A Conflict In Dates. - It was agreed Lost January, at the meeting of delegates representing the Western State fairs, that Indiana should hold hex State fair on the same date as last year, and that tho Illinois fair should be held one week later. Tho Illinois folks have sine changed their mind, and fixed their fair for the same week as tlie Indiana State fair. This state of things is highly unsatisfactory to many exhibitors.who cannot attend both fairs if held simultaneously. It looks.

however, as if the Illinois men wonia siana firm, notwithstanding thstanding Secretary iieron s exforts to get them to change to one week later. Facilities for Cblored School Children. A new school building is to be erected by the township trustees at North Indianapolis. It is to be for colorod children, and will accommodate fifty pupils. The cost of the buildiug. which will contain but ono room, will be between $1,500 and $3,000, The new structure is made necessary by the increase of population, the room m tho E resent building which was formerly nsed y colored pupils now being required by white pupils. The colored pupils also havo increased, and demand ft separate building. New Incorporations. The Hall Milling Company waa incorporated yesterday, with a capital stock of $30,000. Tho location of the mill will be in West Indianapolis, with Charles E. Hall, William Scott aud a B. Hall as directors. Articles of incorporation were also filed with the Secretary of State for the Reagau Oil and Gas Generator Company. Its capital stock is $20,000. and the directors are W . It. McKeen, Nathaniel K.
