Kipp Bros., of this city, have donated 200 flags, three and a half feet long, to be used in decorating the scaffolding. Col. Geo. B. Straddcr, commanding the Illinois Division, Sons of Veterans, has issued an order notifying tho member of tho invitation to participate in the corner-stone ceremonies here on the 2i!d of August, and urging them to atteud, either as camps or individuals. There have been repeated requests to prolong the aflair until tho 23d in order to afford regimental and brigade organizations an opportunity for reunions. The commission and the committees acting Tvith it cannot undertake to do thisr but they -will gladly co-operate in auy "way the can with those who may -wish to arrange for such reunions. Tho Seventieth Indiana, President Harrison's regiment, has already taken steps to have a rennion on tho 2:3d. It would require only a slight expenditure to enable all other organizations to meet at the same time. No doubt the Mate or the national government would furnish tents without charge, which could be pitched in the fair grounds, and straw could be provided for beds. Arrangements could also be made with local caterers to furnish meals thcro at satisfactory rates while the reunions were in progress. Tho veterans aro coming hero by the thousands on the 21st and 22d, and it would seem that this opportunity for those who were comrades in the war to meet again ought not to be missed.

IKON IIALL MANAGEMENT

What the Omaha Convention Wronglit in the Way of New Regulations. A Series of Charges Affecting the Integrity of the Order, and a Vigorous Denial by the Supreme Sitting in This City. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Boston, July 28. Stormy times are apparently approaching for the Order of the Iron Hall in New England, and in Massachusetts in particular. There is a spirit of reVolt abroad against the Indianapolis head of the order, and already the aid of the Stato has been invoked to interfere, and from present prospects such a course is very probable. The main cause of discontent seems to have becu the new regulations adopted at the late convention in Omaha, and the charges are freely made here that these same regulations were inf stigated by the supreme justice F. D. Somerby, and his comrades in authority, to prevent a largo number of members lrora receiving their anticipated benefits. The malcontents charge substantially as follows: During the next two years tho term of seven (7) years will expire for many of the Massachusetts members, and they will be entitled to the $1,000 which they expect to receive for tho three hundred dollars, or thereabouts, which tbey have paid in. It is claimed that to meet this exigency the central authorities are preparing to crowd out as many of the old members as possible, and that if any pretext can bo found for debarring these members this obligation will consequently not have to be met. In support of this it is stated that the district charters which were held by tho Massachusetts branches have been forfeited, leaving the branches directly rosponsihlo to the Supremo Sitting at Indianapolis, thus bringing the members more than over under the personal authority of tho supreme jnstice, whose course recently is particularly complained of. One of tho principal complaints is founded on the Holt embroKlio. Mr. Holt resides in Lowell and has hitherto been tho delegato selected by the Stato branches to represent them in . the Supreme sittings. They were ifeparingto return him this session when they received a communication from Mr. Somcrby declaring that Mr. Holt could not be received again because charges had been fireferred against him which were being nvestlgated. The charges turned out to be that Mr. Holt was reported, among other things, to have spoken disrespectfully of Mr. Somerby in calling him a "czar," and this was directly the cause of the convention amending the by-lAws, by which any member who referred disrespectfully to tho supremo ofllcers should lose his membership. The Massachusetts branches, resenting what they considered an interference with their rights, insisted on sending Air. Holt to Omaha. He had to pay his own way on and expenses while there, but was not .admitted, and indignation has been runing high here ever since against Somerb. ignite a number of members in this State have since then publicly and in print referred to the supreme otlicers in terms anything but complimentary, and the opinion is freely expressed that the latter body will take this as a means of expelling tho Massachusetts branches bodily, and thus get rid of paying tho large sums which will soon be their due. This with other causes, it is claimed, will result in a disruption of the order throughout the East at least, and its opponents aro making their main light on oincial circular No. 1, which has been issued since the Omaha meeting. They claim that this shows that tho by-laws have been changed in many respects so as to really, centralize the sole governing power iDto the hands of the central body; that regulations havo been adopted regarding the payment of money which will undoubtedly increase tho number of lapses, and will make it difficult for members to comply with them; that the promised advantages have been cut down, and that the central body must havo much moro money at its command than it now has. Tho passage of tho otlicial circular relating to the reserve fund is quoted to show the straits to which tho order is alleged to be reduced, and it is urged that this justifies tho criticism passed upon it by the t?pringtieldMa3s.) Republican. The order has new reached a point In Its history when it needs to uie its reserve fund tor Its proper and legitimate purpose, which was to form a breastwork against overtaxation, and for no other purpose. The maturing certiticate are Increased beyond what the present scale of asacfsuients, as now presented, will meet in good time, and it being for the good of the order, after full consideration of the matter, the Hupreme Sitting ordered that two-sevenths of the entire reserve fund be drawn to the supreme treasury in the call of J88'J, and one-seventh lu the call of letM). We have now about $GOo,ooo in reserve, which will accumulate during tho balance of tho year at the rate approximately) of s?28,000 per month, forming an amount which will aggre frato Jan. 1, 1890, about $S00,000. The call lor 189 -will eliminate from tho present amount twsevenths for present purposes, and this, according to our original plan, that it may be made the medium of benefiting its producers and save them from being overburdened with assessments. This was the original purpose of the reserve fund, and by passing this order the bnprctno Sitting has adopted a rule by which our liabilities will be easily met without overtaxation, and absolute equity to all will bo thereby attained. The old systems of Insurance hold their reserve fund always, and tax the policy-holders forever to increase it, rolling up into the millions and hundreds of millions this product of excessive taxation, without benellt to existing producers. We divide our earnings at such seasons aud times when it will best benefit tho order to do so. The Republican says: ' "The one point of this is that they must draw on the rescrvo fund because tho assessments are not enough for the expenses. Rut it is said that one-seventh (1-7) of this reserve has been called under an order of 1SSS. Therefore, within a period of eighteen (IS) months the order will have called in four-sevenths 4-7) of its entire reserve. This reserve is idd by the local branches under a provision that 20 per cent, of the receipts from assessments are to be held for a reserve. By this call tho several sevenths are to bo forwarded by the local branches to the central body." "It is furthermore claimed that tho assessments of the order are increasing, and that, whereas, in tho schedule which was presented before the Legislature last year when they were trying to get a foothold in Massachusetts, the programme included fifteen (15) assessments for 18S9. up to July 1 thirteen (13) had already been ordored. and the prospect is that there will be about twicothat number before the end of the year. Another causo for complaint here is that the members of the woman's branches . aro cut off from any benefits for certain disabilities to which they are liable, and tho general regulations have been chauged to cut off disabilities for other diseases, including chronic rheumatism, lumbago, arthritis and varicose veins, so that anyone who has joined with the expectation of getting relief when suffering from these not uncommon complaints, will be ruled out of the order with no appeal. Then, again, the statement is made that promised relief of twenty weeks has, by tho Omaha convention, been reduced to four weeks. The other complaints are almost too numerous to mentiou, and are principally over the new regulations, particularly those which change tho time for branches not promptly forwarding their reports, and the additional slowness andred tape that materially delays all adjustment of claims. The result has been appealed to the State Insurance Commission to investigate the order, and such will probable be shortly done. Statements of Ofllcers of the Order. The foregoing statement was shown to tho officers of tho Supreme Sitting of tho Order of tho Iron Hall here, yesterday evening. Chief-justice F. D. Sornerby is absent from home, and Chief Accountant E. J. Walker and Chief Cashier M. C. Davis are the only general otlicers of tho order in the city. The last-named gentleman read tho statement carefully and remarked that it seemed to be a prolongation of tho old tight in Massachusetts against the order, with the exception that tho charge that the order could not pay its obligations was now varied by an intimation that it was trying to squeeze out its members. He complained that a good deal more newspaper sDace hsd been given to attacks upon tho order, that had been prompted by business rivalries, than had been furnished for answerstotho.se attacks, but said ho was willing to answer the charges contained in the dispatch, if his reply could bo given equal prominence in publication. "Takincr

up tho statements of tho dispatch, as

made," said Mr. Davis, "I want to s.iy at the outset that the affairs of tho Iron Hall in Massachusetts have never been more peaceful and prosperous than they are at present, notwithstanding the hostility of tho Insurance Commissioner there, and a few malcontents in our own order. We had a bard fight in that Stato two years ago, but the Legislature sustained us, as against the Insurance Commissioner and the old line companies, and since that time we have been recognized there as fully as any fraternal association doing business there. The only trouble that has ever happened us there, with any of our own members, grew out of the legislative act establishing our position in the State. Up to that time we had been obliged to do business there under a district organization, of which Mr. Holt was at tho head. When the- order was recognized by the State, and the Supreme Sitting here took charge, our Massachusetts members naturally objected to paying their capitation dues to a district organization also, and the latter was abolished. This removed some small sources of income from Mr. Holt and a few of his friends, and we have had their active opposition since: but so far as our membership there generally is concerned, we have never had, and are not now having any difficulty whatever." "What about differences growing out of proceedings at the Omaha conventionP "They aro precisely what they were before that convention was held. Mr. Holt made his fight so bitter that charges were preferred against them. He was suspended hy the executive committee, and on a full and fair trial before the committee on appeals and grievances, ho was refused admission to the convention. Naturally his bitterness has been increased by his expulsion, but he has no one to blame for it except himself. As to alleged changes and new regulations made by that convention, and intended to prevent members from receiving their benefits, tho only changes and new regulations mado were such as seemed likely to increaseand improve such benefits. The reserve fund feature of the order was instituted to aid in meeting the first class of benefits, which matured, nearly all of them at tho same time, when the first seven years expired. Now, that benefits are maturing each month in the year, and our membership is multiplying, wo shall have less occasion for the reserve, but shall continue to use it to reduce assessments whenever there is more in the treasury than should bo piled up in the way of surplus. The statement that we are crowding oat old members to avoid the f laymen t of their benefits is so far from bong true that our management of the reservo has tended to make it easier for these old members to remain with us by reducing the number of assessments mado upon them. There has been no adding of burdens, and the 'forfeiture of charters referred to was simply the transfer of tho district organization over which Mr. Holt presided, to the Supreme Sitting, which was demanded by Massachusetts members to avoid tho payment of doublo capitation dues." "Were thero any changes made at tho Omaha conventiou by which benefits in the woman's branches were restricted and the list of general disabilities reduced?'' "There were, but they were such as our medical board recommended, and such as the good of the order seemed to warrant. It has nover beeu the intention of the order to allow sick benefits for the ordinary and natural illnesses which alllict women, nor for the disabilities attending childbirth, and the new regulation merely makes that point clear. The only other diseases for which sick claims may be contested are such as cannot be discernible by a physician, or may be so readily simulated as to make frauds easy of commission, aud this class of cases will have to be judged separately and by their own surround in gs." "was the period of twenty weeks' relief reduced to four weeks by the conventiouf' "That is the meanest misstatements of the entire list. Tho twenty weeks' relief was left just as it was before. Theouly difference is that a report of such cases must be made every four weeks, to keep tho Supreme Setting advised as closely as possible of the. amount of liabilities incurred in that direction. As to tho balance of the charges, that wo are changing tho time for branches to forward their reports, delaying the adjustment of claims, indulging in red tape, etc., I can only say that we aro keeping onr business up promptly, meeting every just obligatiou, and while we get tired frequeutly of being misrepresented, wo are glad of the occasion it gives us to ask fair-minded people to investigate our methods." INSANE HOSPITAL MATTERS. A Gentleman Who Claims to Know Says that the Old Gang Still lias Control.

The matter of Insane Asylum contracts, mentioned yesterday, recalls a conversation with a gentleman who resides so near the hospital that he has reliable information. II says: "Everybody, without regard to party, felt relieved when Dr. Wright accepted the superintendency of the Hospital for In sane for it was heralded abroad that he accepted with full power to conduct the institution in an upright manner, untrammeled by anybody's bargains. Dr. Wright knew all about tho old gang, both inside and out of the hospital two legislative investigations, one in his own party, had shown its rottiness and yet ho is so tied down that the sanio old gang are in fact bosses of the situation. With tho exception of removing Dr. Wiles, who had experience, to put in the brother of Mr. Curtis, of lato legislative fame, who had no experience, no change of importance has been made. Harrison's carpenter and his night watch are still on duty. Little Senator Duncan keeps bis hand on tho storeroom by giving a new steward, in place of his Hall but it's the same old gang, l'okor is still in voguo after pay day, and tho nominal porter, who has stood tti with the Eang for years, sells refreshments to tho oys, and does the funny business as of old. Dr. Thomas, of savory investigation of last winter, still airs his shirt studs and smokes his Havanas on the front portico. Oh, its precisely the same old wagon, painted a new color. "A curious state of affairs was shown np in a recent meeting of the trustees. The superintendent was trying to impress his rights upon some points, and said: 'Well. I am superintendent here, and the law says such and such shall be my prerogatives.' And I want you to bo superintendent here' said Markey, 'but you must remember I am a trustee, and trustees can make superintendents and fix their salaries, and cau make all the by-laws by which he is governed, and by which every department of this institution is run.' "To show that the new superintendent intended to clean out the Harrison gang was shown by his first act. Ho demanded the resignation of all otlicers and heads of departments, and all were promptly handed in; but the old-timers had expected that, and arranged that should their resignations be accepted every officer and chief of department would leave instanter. (This arrangement was fully understood by both the old and new trustees.) A fricnu let it leak out to the superintendent just in time. He at once consulted Markey and others, and considering it discretion, ordered all tho old gang to resume duty, and there they are to this day. Whenever an oldtimer meets another old-timer at 'Davis's Old Place', or an old trustee 'in town.' they say 'Well, let's resign.' and pull down tho left corner of tho right eye. "One of the ablest physicians at the hospital was a German. He was the most useful, too. because there are many patients who do not speak English. When this doctor got his order to send his resignation he was shocked, he had refused to join in tho plot with the others, and did not 6ee that he hud been guilty of anything that should cause his resignation to bo demanded ho was a good Democrat, and had good backing, but alas for him. ho had the instincts and culture of a gentleman. He sent his resignation as ordered, packed his grip, and retired, leaving tho impression that at least one apt phj'siciau had some professional dignit'. "Knruors are very lively about the institution, that there is a llame about to break forth that will show the public that there is a compact of the Harrison gang with the new trustees, to cover up the dirt of the former, and keep the political faith and promises of the latter, which is going to greatly embarrass the new superintendent, who, if let alone, would make the hospital a model institution." m The Court Record. 6LTERJOR COURT.

FR03I SOLDIER TO CIVILIAN

Sunday Harks the Successful Close of tho Encampment at Camp Hovej. The Last Night in the Woods Hade One of Discomfort by the lleavy Storm The Final Press Parade and Eeview. Yesterday was the last day at Camp Hovey. Shortly before 3 o'clock the seventeen hundred soldiers, who, with the exception of the gnards, were all dreaming of wives and children, sisters and kindred long distances from the scenes of tho battle-ground, were suddenly awakened by a somewhat louder reveille than usual. As peal after peal of thunder rolled out on the clear morning, air, the echoes were sufficiently impressive to cause the youngest corporal to poko his head out from beneath his blankets, punch his bed-fellow in the side, and ask, in a home-sick tone, what it all meant. While it is a fact worth mentioning that, so far as known, none of the militiamen actually resorted to an old-fashioned cry as a nerve-quieter, it was true that the storm was of sufficient force to disturb the peace aud comfort of a great many. In a very few moments the captains and higher ofllcers rose to a remarkable height of popularity. Half-dressed privates flocked to their sides, clamoring for fatherly advice. Some were engaged in packing up their blankets and tin-cups, while still others were transfixed in silent meditation upon the hardships of army life. Tho Third Regiment, which was encamped in a slight ravine, fared the worst. Pouring down on either side camo small torrents of rain, and in a very short space of time bedding, clothing and all was lloating at leisure iu two inches of water. It was, next to battalion drill in a broiling sun, a pretty good test for some of the newer recruits. No damage was done, howover; no lives were lost, and after the storm had passed over everybody waded back to their respective quarters. Notwithstanding the damper that was thrown over the earlier portion of the day it was undoubtedly one of the most pleasant that had been spent in caaip. 1 he last breakfast was eaten, the last morning roll Kegiment of InfaDtry, was to conduct the farewell religious exercises, but on account of tho dampness of the ground it was decided to dispense with the exercises. The morning was pent in a general time of hearty good feeling, as no military duties or ceremonies were on the programme. Dinner was hardly over when tho camp began to be filled with visitors from the city. Hundreds drove out in carriages, u;o street cars were filled to overflowing, special railroad trains contributed their share, some preferred to go by boat, and still others walked. It was estimated that by 2 o'clock fully 3,000 people were on the grounds, tho largest attendance of auy day since tho camp opened. Promptly att hat hour, according to general orders, camp was broken, a ceremony that was as beautiful as it was brief. At the proper signal from bugle calls, every tent m camp was dropped to the ground, and as one glanced over the field where, a moment before, nothing but the canvas tents were visible, it seemed to him that some giant hand had, at a blow, demolished every house in a small village, leaving the inhabitants untouched and safe. Then ensued, among the privates, a general scramble for personal property. Knapsacks were packed, blankets rolled up, tents packed away and the companies formed in preparation for tho last ceremony of tho day, brigade dress parade. As a mark of respect to CoL N. R. Kuckle, the entire brigade formed in company front and marched iu front of his tent. While not intended as a review proper, the officers of each company saluted their brigade commander as they passed, and the compliment was returned. At 5 o'clock dress parade was formed in front of tho largest crowd of spectators that has witnessed any of the military maneuvers of tho week. The scene was indeed one that was inspiring, as it was pleasing to tho eye. Seventeen hundred uniformed men, standing side by side, with muskets polished and attire pertcct, formed an array that moro than repaid the visitors for their presence. The movements connected with the ceremony were all executed with promptness, and with but few noticeable mistakes. Especial praise was heard mentioned in the crowds for t he excellent manner in which the First Regiment of Infantry performed its duties, although it was a dithcult matter to draw any lines of demarkation on basis of excellence and skill. After the ceremony the most of tho companies disbanded, the First Regiment leaving the grounds almost immediately. Some remained in tho city over night, and some in camp, where tho usual gnard mount for the last night's duties was made. From every point of view tho encampment has proved a grand success. It being tho first time that tho State has taken tho matter under control, some concern was naturally felt for the outcome, but every hope has been moro than realized. It is believed that the success of this year will only add argument for a like encampment in 1600, on a much larger pcale. One of the most pleasant events incident to the eucampment was the banquet given by Mrs. Olive Douglas and Nellie Clark, of this city, aud Miss Ilowdell, of Piqua, O., accompanied by Mr. Chas. Clark, on Saturday evening, to Governor Hovey and Private Secretary Roberts, Captain Tarleton and Lieutenants Dean and Reach, of Company E. Tho evening was most agreably spent, and was evidently greatly enjoyed by thoso who participated. . THE DEMOCRACY RATTLED. The Rank and File Dissatisfied with the Committee and Hendricks Club Methods. Tho recent meeting of tho Republican State central committee and the very evident determination of the Republican leaders to push the preliminary work of the coming campaign with vigor, have awakened interest among tho Democrats of the city and State, and there is a demand that some such action shall bo taken at once by the recognized authority in the party. The fact that Chairman Jcwett resides at New Albany and is rarely in this city, except when private business calls him here, is leading to some dissatisfaction, and the demand for a change in the chairmanship is becoming pronounced and outspoken. Some of the defeated State candidates of last year are among tho most importunate for a change, and local politicians assert that it should bo so radical as to amount to a complete reorganization of the committee. It is recalled that the Republicans were first in the field last year and much of the effective w ork of tho campaign was done before tho Democrats were ready for their preliminary organization. It is also recalled that Jewett expressed much dissatisfaction with the attitude taken by several of the State candidates and, as he and Matson differed so radically on some points, auiounting almost to open hostility, the feeling is strong in Matson's district that some one else should be chosen, aud they are gradually shaping the sentiment of the State party in that direction. The first step will be to revive the Hendricks Legion, which appears to have died with the November defeat, and members of tho Hendricks Club, the parent organization, are now sending out circulars to tho county chairmeu urging the organization of local clubs. Some of the replies already received indicate that there is but little enthusiasm for such work in tho counties, but an effort will be made in all parts of tho State, and it is hoped to get tho younger Democrats all enrolled before tho township elections next April. Iu speaking of the plan of organization and the probable results, a prominent party worker said yesterday that the Democrats suffered more from want of agreement among the teaders than from any indisposition among the rank aud filo of the party to organize. "When the Republicans," said he, "organized the Lincoln League, we went to rrork to form a similar organization under tho name of the Hendricks Legion. The Hendricks Club was the parent body, and through it the local or county legions were to keep the central committee posted as to the condition of the counties. .The first break was in tho Hendricks Club trjriiuc

to reap all the glory of the scheme, and a month had hardly passed away till all of tho old-time jealonsy of Indianapolis and everything proposed by Indinnapolis, began to have its effect. Some of the locals refused to havo any correspondence with the Hendricks Club, and declared that if they could not communicate directly with the Stato central committee they would not report at all. Others said that tho Hendricks Club was trying to run the State, and was reaching out after more honors than it was entitled to. and that its proper sphere was Marion county. This got up disaffection between the county legions and the club, and when Chairman Jewett championed tho causo of tho former ail tho local politicians deserted hirn, and began to ignore Jewett, and advise alone with Si Sheenn. This naturally produced a coolness between the chairman and tho national committee member, and thus tho squabble was carried directly; into tho campaign. The club is now trying to organize locals in all parts of tho State, but the result will probably be tho same as it was last year, both to the club and tho party." In discussing the advisability of a change in the chairmanship, a successor has received more or less attention, but on this subject there is a variety of conflicting opinion. Sheenn would be an acceptable man to a majority of the party, but he has business interests which havo taken him out of the city, and ho now no longer regards Indianapolis as his home. He will be here very little in the future, and tho necessity of having a chairman who is a resident of tho city is so patent that no one else will be considered unless he will agree to come here and remain till after the campaign. Ex-Senator McDonald has been mentioned, and so has W. H. English, but the friends of Governor Gray are violently opposed to either selection, and their names have practically been dropped from the list of eligible. Both were spoken of for th United States Senate two years ago, and the name of McDonald went before the Democratic caucus. Gray's friends do not regard either English or McDonald as very warm in tho interest of the senatorial aspirations of tho ex-Governor, and they are determined that the committee shall not bo organized against him if it is possible to avoid it. John W. Kern is the choice of many of the local Democrats, and his claims aro being canvassed with an earnestness that appears to be producing results. It is not improbablo that a meeting of tho committee will be called in the near future, and if one is held it is reasonably certain that Jewett will resign.
