Mayor Denny, Trill become his surety, although it is the young man's wish to remain in jail, and do all he can to atono for his crime. There will be no long trial, as it is the prisoner's purpose to plead gnilty just as soon as he is arraigned. Mayor Denny tlrst gave theofiicers information of his nephew being in Kansas City, and he did it only with a view of having the unfortunate ahair nettled as eoon Vis possible. Ho recognized that it Trould be better for the young man to meet the result of his crime at once than to be a fugitive from justice. The prisoner told hU uncle that he was glad lie took such a course, as in any event it would have ben only a question of a few clays when the officers would have had him in custody. He intended to come here in a week or two and surrender himself, when Deputy Marshal Conway arrested him in Kansas City. Postmaster Swint. of lloonville. saw his assistant in the district attorney's ottlce, Sunday afternoon, and instead of upbraiding him, threw his arms about Dcnuy's neck anil wept. JIo expressed sympathy for the young man, whos crime is solely duo to gambling. Denny thought ho wan good at poker, and so he was connidered, but after losing his own means, he began to tako money from the postollice. m m m - l'rospects of the Fair. The managers of the State Fair are very much pleased at the interest already manifested by exhibitors. They say the prospects for a successful exhibition are better, in many respects, than at any corresponding period in the history of the State Board of Agriculture. The show of carriages and buggies promises to be unusually large, and thcro are now on filo enough applications t take up all the space ou the lower lloor of the Exposition building, and much of the upper. Ihe live stock department will be, as usual, very full, there being the customary number of entries at this timo and others coming in daily. The board has increased the premium list in the speed ring, and the total premiums will aggregate something like $3,000. There will be racing very afternoon of the fair, and the management expects that the premiums will attract some very superior horses to the track. HuiMlnc: Penult.

THE MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN

Sullivan's Friends Show a Willingness " to Keep Norton Off Their Ticket. Qity Attorney. Taylor Says Council Can Create a Police Judgeship, and That the People Can Elect (he This Fall. The Democratic canvass, as connected with the mayoralty contest, took a new turn yesterday afternoon, when it was announced that Judge Sullivan had practically agreed to accept a nomination for that ofiico if it should be offered him. The friends of Judge Norton, who had had pretty clear sailing up to that time, saw in this announcement the open declaration of a purpose to scuttle the barge which bore the hopes of their candidate.and waxed correspondingly indignant. From this time forward the contest is likely to be between the silk and cotton-stockiirg elements of the organization, the crested jayhawks of the mountain going for Sullivan, and the baldheaded snipes of tho valley, or "roughnecks," as they are termed by their opponents, supporting Norton. The issue of this contest will doubtless determine the Democratic clerkship nomination also, as in the event of Sullivan's selection as a mayoralty candidate i. is hardly likely tho convention would add Fole3' or McGinuis to its ticket. At a raoetiug of tho Democratic committee yesterday afternoon, it was determined to hold the primaries on Friday evening next. There was some talk of holding tho convention on the Saturday evening following, but it was linally decided to postpone it for two or three days. Mozart Hall will prohably be selected as the place. The only new mayoralty material prominently mentioned on tho Republican side is Judge John Scott. While there is an earnest desire on the part of supporters of thoso who have been talked of for the place to seo their men win, there is a very strong feeling among Kepublicans generally that the best man for the purpose should be selected, and a spirit of concord in this direction is manifested, which is likely to bring about tho best results. There is still a good deal of talk, among Kepublicans and Democrats alike, of separating the judicial fiom the executive duties of the office, and making the Mayor Simply the executive head of the city, while the police cases, which now take up most of the Mayor's time, would bo attended to by a police judge appointed for that purpose. "We have all the legislation now that is needed to create a police judge," said City Attorney Taylor, yesterday, and the Council can, if it sees proper, pass .an ordinance at once providing for tho choosing of a police judge at tho coming election, and fix the compensation of 6uch official. The only cases which the Mayor is compelled, now to hear, are thoso brought for infractions of the city ordinances, and I think the Supreme Court, on a well-considered case, would sustain the right of a police judge, thus elected, to hear and determine this class of casest in connection with others brought before him. The great number of the cases now heard by the Mayor are for violations of State laws, and both Democrats and Kepublicans with whom I have talked agreed with mo in thinking that the disposition of this lrfrge class of cases should form no part of the Mayor's functions." "Could Council divide the duties of the Mayor's ofiico as they now stand, aud provide for the election of both a Maor and police judge without further legislative assistance!" the reporter asked. "Unquestionably. We have the right under the law to elect a police judge now whenever we see fit. All that would bo necessary would be to have an ordinance passed by Council providing for the election of buch an otlicerand prescribing his duties and compensatiou. Some rearrangement of the present salary of tho Mayor would probably be nocessaryrbut after subtracting enough from the present salary to pay a police judge there would still bo enough to pay the Mayor for attending to strictly executive duties." In most of the wards there is an active interest shown by Kepublicans in tho councilmanic nominations. In the First ward Councilman Elliott's return will bo contested by Wm. Uriflin and Charles Walters. D. A. Myers, thus far, has a clear Kepublican held in the second. In the Third A. A. Young says he is not a candidate, but Councilman Darnell will have as competitors Henry Sweetland, James A, Fritchard, W. E. Tousey and John C. Tierson. John Furyear is running against W. H. Wilson, the present incumbent, in the Fourth. John K. Fearson has an open field in the Fifth. Otto Stechhan aud Asa Eagle are contesting the Sixth. In the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh the present Kepublican incumbents have no announced Kepublican competitors, w, H. Cooper and lien Aldrich are making a canvass in tho Twelfth. Stephen Crawford, Dr. Lutz and F. 1. Smith (the father of Alderman Harry IS. Smith) are contesting Councilman Dunn's claims to re-election in the Thirteenth, and in the Fourteenth Councilman Davis has the competition of Koht. Kusselh W. li. Fulton, George W. Moore and Henry Wakefield. Coming down to the wards now represented by Democratic councilmeu, James Dillingham is a Kepublicau candidate in tho fifteenth, Harry Koso in the Seventeenth, Chester Kradfield in tho Seventeenth, Dr. Marsee in tho eighteenth; K. S. Coulter, iu tho Twenty-second, and Ernest Buehnig, in the Twenty-fifth. In the Nineteenth, John Oalvin is the Kepublican candidate, and in the Twentieth, Dr. W. N. Wishard. John Hicks, James S. Cruse and Silas T. lilizard are having an interesting contest. In the Twenty-first P. C. Truster, John Kusk. Frank Hay and A. O. Despo, and in tho Twenty-fourth, Ernest Knodel and Charles A. (Jauss are the candidates. The Kepublican primaries will beheld this evening, as heretofore announced. The Sixth ward meeting will be held at No. 121 Fort Wayne avenue, instead of in Bacon's Block, and the Eighth ward primary will meet at No, b engine-house, ou East Washington Btreet. at 8 P. m. The date of the convention will be tixed by the city committeemen elected at these primaries, aud will probably be held Saturday, Sept. 7. A Concert by the Wlllsona. Mr. and Mrs. Clark Willson, who have furnished the music during the past week at Francis Murphy's meetings, gave a concert, lastfnight, at tho Central-avenue M. H. Church, which brought together a houseful of people. The auditors were delighted with the entertainment, which consisted for the most part of gospel songs, most of which were compositions of tho late P. V. Bliss, who was Mrs. Willson's brother. Francis Murphy was present, and made a short talk on the need of loving kindness with children to keep them pure and true, and to mold them into Christian men and women. Mr. Willson will leave this morning for his home at Towanda, Fa., while Mrs. Wiilson will go to Chicago to see a son who is there. Francis Murphj' will leave at 11 o'clock this forenoon for Warsaw, where he will speak to-morrow. On Saturday afternoon aud night he will speak at Logansport, after which ho will take a week's rest. Mr. Murphy has received a letter from D. L. Moody, asking hiui to visit Chicago, and take part with him in a scries of meetings, beginning Sept. HG. Success from Four Beginnings. John Moore, whoso death was brielly announced in yesterday's Journal, was a historic character. Ho was born in Ireland in 1S0G and carao with his father's family to America when about twenty years of age. A year or two later tho cntiro family, consisting of tho father aud several grown sous and daughters, camo to Indianapolis, the mother having died after reaching America. Work ou tho national road was then in progress, and tho Moorcs found employ merit on that improvement. Soon after this, first one, then another of the contractors who had tho work between Indianapolis and Cumberland failed and forfeited their contracts, together with the reserve which the government had kept back. Tho Moores became contractors, and took np the work and finished it to the satisfaction of the government, receiving not only tho current estimated, but the reserve, which was'iuitoa sum. With the money thus made they bought valuable lands east of Indianapolis, at from &5 to $10 an acre, all of which is yet in tho families

of Thomas, who yet lives, and of John, who died last Sunday. Other members of tho family invested their shares in lands elsewhere. John Moore was for fifty years or more a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, holding his membership at Fletcher-place Church in this city. He was a striking example of what may come of honest industry and careful living. He was beloved by all who knew him. A COLD EOBBERY. Jeweler Oehler Relieved of Five Gold Watches ly a .Man Who Said He Wanted to Buy One. A stoutly-built, dark-complexioned man, wearing a dark cutaway suit and a Derby hat, stepped into Koinan Oehler's jewelry store, at No. 183 West Washington street, a little after 8 o'clock last evening, and asked to look at gold watches. Mr. Oehler showed him several, and after looking over the assortment and expressing his preference for one, he asked to see Boine chains. Mr. Oehler, still holding the tray of watches with one hand, reached for the chains with the other, and, as ho did so, the watch inspector grabbed five of the time-pieces and disappeared through the street door. Mr. Oelibr and others gave chase, bnt the thiol was too quick for them. Ho ran east on Washington street a few feet to tho alley leading pouth. turned down that toward Maryland street, and finally vanished in tho darkness. The case was reported promptly to the police, and a description of the thief furnished. MURDERER ASZMANX'S CAREER.

Women Appear to Have Played an Important Part in All His Disgraceful Actions. The wound of Edward Aszmann, who so brutally murdered Bertha Elff, Saturday night, is slowly healing, and there is little question now about his ultimato recovery. He conversed with his attendants yesterday, hut rofrained from any further mention of his crime. The coroner has begun an investigation into the circumstances of the tragedy, but so far his efforts have been confined to ono or two witnesses, Kissel be ing the principal one. The latter stated that Aszmann and the woman wero not at his resort on Saturday evening; that he was positive they were not, as he has known Mrs. Eltt since tier childhood, and would have seen her had she been at bin garden. If they had been drinking, said Kissel, they got their whisky at some other place. Aszmann's statement will be taken by the coroner to-morrow, and, as he has shown no disposition to conceal the crime, it is more than likely that he will give the circumstances without reserve, Aszmann appears to have been at first a clerk in his father's store in Cincinnati, hut when quite young he left that city on account of his relations with a Mary Kyan. Going West, he joined tho regular army, and was with Custer when that officer was killed. A year later he returned to Cincinnati, and soon after his return had a street row with the K'an woman, who lay in wait for him for one day. She had learned that ho was in tho city. Disgrace had preyed upon her, and, arming herself with a knife, she only waited an opportunity of meeting him. No sooner did she catch sight of him than, with the knife open, but concealed, she approached him. There was a gleam of the bright blade as she attempted to sink it into his throat. He was too quick for her, hqwever, and instead of tho blade entering into his neck, it buried itself in his left shoulder. Both were arrested and taken to tho old central police station on Ninth street. There behind the bars their troubles were adjusted, and on the following morning 'Squiro Anthony, in tho presence of the otlicers of the station and a curious crowd of prisoners, made them man and wife. Four children were born to them, tho one out of wedlock now being a young lady twenty-threo years of age, the wifo of a well-known business man in a thriving town in this State. To-day the wifo is a dissolute character in Cincinnati. For several years they lived happily together, but Aszmann then began to neglect his family, and finally abandoned them altogether. Ho then disappeared from Cincinnati, but three years later reapfieared in his old haunts, saying that ho lad secured a divorce in this city and had married again. It was within this period that he became acquainted with Mrs. Elff, and during his stay in Cincinnati, three weeks ago, lie was in correspondence with her. What became of the woman whom he is alleged to have married in this city is unknown. ACTION OP ALDERMEN. rennsylvanla-Street Asphalt Contract Approved, as Were Several Other Measures. ' The aldermen wero almost entirely occupied last night in passing upon tho action of the last Council. The contract for paving Pennsylvania street with asphalt, from Ohio to Washington, was awarded to tho Western Paving and Supply Company. Its proposition is to curb the street at 50 cents per linear foot, pave at $0.06 per foot, and to repair whenever the pavement is intentionally cut at $3 per square yard. Alderman Reinecke was the only member of the board who voted in the negative. The license of 100 upon the selling of oleomargarine and butterine, labeled as such, was approved. The Monon railroad was ordered, by confirmation of the Council's action, to repair its crossings at Homo and Lincoln avenues and Seventh and Eighth streets. The name of Ann street, from Kay to Morris, was unanimously changed to Church street. Tho question of tho city's approval of tho Knights of Labor demonstration at tho Exposition grounds, next Monday, was brought up by the report from tho Council, which recommended the granting of a vacation to the city's employes, without pay. The invitation to attend was accepted, but, on motion of Alderman Connett, it was decided to amend the Council's action by granting the vacation, with a day's waees. The matter will bo returned to the Council. That body, however, cannot act unless a meeting is called in time for the demonstration. President Wright introduced amotion rotating to the alleged violation of tho city laws on the part of Budd-street propertyholders. Between Now York and Vermont streets, where the street is thirty feet wide, and where improvements are in contemplation, it is claimed there are fences and, in ouo or two instances, barna standing on ground belonging to tho city. To Lave theso obstructions removed, a petition was presented to the board, signed by residents on tho street, asking that the proper steps be taken. Tne city street commissioner was instructed to have tho obstructions removed. The appointments of S. W. Hornaday aud William JJ. Griffin as natural-gas inspectors, wero approved. County Auditor Taggart reported the total valuation of city property as 52,b00,035, accordiug to which the rate of taxation will he fixed. On motion of Alderman Key noldstne action of the Council in recommending an appropriation of $230 for expenses attending the laying of the corner-stone of the soldiers' monument, was referred to the committee on finance. After concurring in the Council's action on a long list of street and alley ordinances the board adjourned. A w Electric-LJght riant The C. Perry & Co. agency, of Chicago, is putting in a complete incandescentlight plant. The new factory ia being erected in the rear of the Columbia Club house. While the business is under the name of tho C. Perry agency, it is understood to bo a branch of tho ThompsonHuston company, one of the largest in the country. Ihe latter has becomo tho owners of tho Indianapolis Jcnney company's business, which has heretofore been managed by Mr. Perry. Steps are now in progress for increasing tho business, and tho new establishment will be pushed rapidly to completion. Engines havo been purchased of tho Atlas eugine-works, and the new company will soon be prepared for business. Mr. Harvey Begins Service. Georgo Harvey began his duties yesterday as deputy collector in the internal revenue office here. At that office during Collector Hunter's term $745,G17.iS3 was collected.

MARION COUNTY TEACIIEKS

Their Annual Institute Begins with a Promise of a Very Successful Week. Lectures on Topics Regarding Methods of InstructionComment on Becktold's Books ot Favorable to that Means of Education. Shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morning most unusual but musical sounds wero heard in the court-house. At that hour of a Monday morning the basement of this useful and hitherto somewhat ornamental edifice is filled with a mixed throng composed largely of a class of citizens who havo managed to get a large amount of fun out of Sunday. When theso persons heard the strange sounds which seemed to proceed from a musical instrument, they climbed two flights of stairs to seo what and where it was. It proved to be an organ, and the opening exercises of the Teachers' County Institute were just beginning in Judge Iiowcs court-room, which had been given them for tho purpose. Tho persons from below were surprised to see a room filled with a hundred well-dressed ladies and gentlemen, the former, for the most part, not only exceedingly bright looking, but handsome. The teachers were also surI)rieed to see tho motley crowd their melody lad brought forth, and were pleased when the unexpected visitors somewhat hastily beat a retreat to the subterreue precincts from which they came. Ihe teachers, after the musical exercises were over, began upon tho business of the day with much enthusiasm. Prof. W. F. L. Sanders, of Couuersville, and Prof J. K. Heck, of Kloomington, were selected as instructors for the week's work. These gentlemen will alternate with each other in taking up the various branches relating to school government, qualifications of teachers and mental science. The institute was formally organized, with Countv Superintendent Flick as president and W. F. Landes secretary. The president stated tho purpose of the institute, urging teachers to attend regularly through all the sessions of the week, lie also spoke of the necessity of their making extensive notes of the work and of points of interest brought out in the lessons and discussions. The first of the series of regular lessons given by Professor Sanders was upon The Object to lie Attained by Attending Institutes." He first took into consideration tho capability of instructors, dwelling upon tho fact that if the instruction be practical it in itself will afford au opportunity for comparison and forming some general method of work for the township or county. Professor Keck, who took up the subject of "Vocal Culture," is a clear and comprehensive speaker, and received the closest attention of the institute. He spoke of poor readers (not the books, but the scholars) in American schools, and held that tho fault lay chiefiy in too little time being spent in development. He cited as examples the German and other foreign nations who spent much time in physical development, and in following it with a thorough course in vocal training. Trofesoor Sanders led in the discussion of the "Importance of the First Day of School." In this was mentioned the necessity of the teacher visiting, before school began, the building and tho community in which he or she is to teach, to get tho hang of the school-house and a knowledge of the patrons, as- to their habits, tastes and prejudices. Following this came the subjection of "Direction" as it should be taught to primary pupils by the object method. This was presented by Prof. Sanders in a practical and interesting lesson. Professor Keck 6poko on tho science of education, and enlarged upon the purpose and advantages of reading-circle work, citing it as a truo basis for the advancement of educational science. Professor Sauders presented the principles of "Deductive Arithmetic" as it should be practically presimted to pupils, giving illustrations of the work upon the black-board. An evening entertainment was spoken of, to bo held some evening during tho week, and I. X. Harlan, city; K. W. Heaton, Washington township; James Watson, Lawrence township; Ella Patton, West Indianapolis; Fannie Walls, Haughvllle; O. H.Tibbott, Irvington; George T. Copelnnd, Franklin township; U. G. Ballard, Wayno township, Kato Krbertson, Decatur township; and Sobieski Uutler. Pike township, were chosen a committee on arrangements. M. J. Wagle, of Pike township; J. T. Powers, Peny township; M. Francis Moore, Decatur township, were appointed a committee on resolutions. There aro three colored teachers in tho institute, all of them from Center township Ada Harris. Clara Watkins and C. 11. Morphin. In other townships of tho county there aro no colored-teachers, and the children assemble in tho schools regardless of color. There is some discussion, in a quiet way, among the teachers regarding the inferior books imposed by Becktold, of St. Louis, upon tho .State, and which they will soon be called upon to teach. "I would say." said a teacher to the reporter, "that the arithmetics and geographies are not sq bad as tho others. Understand by that I do not say they are good. The readers are far below the standard. I havo talked with a number of our teachers, and find that those who have examined the books are much dissatisfied with the chance, and are of my opinion regarding their inferiority. A general opinion of these books will probably come out before the close of the session of the institute, as by thatime most of tho teachers will have had an opportunity to give them a thorough examination. The ,open discussion of tho books is a dangerous topic, and it may be headed ofi. If it does come up it will probably be on Friday afternoon." To-day's programme of the institute will be a combination of lectures on the common school branches, and the doors are open to all friends of education. The sessions open at 9 o'clock A. M., closing at 12 m., resuming at 1:80, and closing at 4 1 M. Mrs. K. D. Kobinson and family desire to publicly express their heartfelt thanks to their many friends who, during their late bereavement, so kindly sympathized with and assisted them. The Circle Park Fence. The Monument Commissioners wero quick to replace the unsightly feuco around tho Circle. To this many citizens object. "That story," said ono of them, yesterday, "about some ono trying to carry oft' a portion of the comer-stono was probably invented as a Jcind of justification for putting back that ramshackle of a fence, llut the game reason will always apply for keeping the horrid thing there, as not only the corner-stone will want protection, hereafter, but the whole monument, with all its elaborate figures and delicate adornments. The reasoning of the well-known party who inspired the newspaper paragraph, in order to justify inflicting this fence monstrosity, is a little too thin to deceive anybody. A neat wire fence would answer all purposes, without disfiguring the city. The truth is, such a fence as the wooden one used for advertising, is wholly illegal, is injurious to property, unsightly to tho city and monument, and should immediately give place to one not open to these objections." State School Fund Loan. An increased demand for money is reported by parties here who manage investments. As in some cases there is a difficulty in procuring the amounts needed from private investors on satisfactory terms, the result is that applications for portions of the State school fund held by this county have been increased. A broker who applied at tho county auditor's office yesterday stated that he had loaned all tho other funds within his reach, and had to fall back on the State fund to accommodate a client. Loans of tho school fund are made at per cent., and their only drawback is that the real estate offered as security must be twice the appraised value of the loan granted, independent of perishable improvements. Going to Milwaukee. At 11:30 o'clock, yesterday forenoon, a handsomely-decorated Pullman parlor coach was attached to the regular Monon train. It contained tho delegates to the National Encampment of the G. A. K. from L central Indiana, and besides the delegates,

there were Governor Hovt,y and a few others as guests. Few persons besides the delegates went from this city, and Col. I. N, Walker says tho entire State of Indiana will not send more than four hundred visitors, instead of tho 4,000 who would have gone had the present rates been ottered at the beginning. At 9 o'clock yesterdav morning another department car left Jsew Albany carrying the southern Indiana delegates. This car will meet tho Indianapolis car at Monon. The Indianapolis delegates joined tho representatives from Illinois at Chicago last night, and from thero started by steamer for Milwaukee Comic Opera at the Park. The engagement of the Bennett-Moultori Comic Opera Company began at the Park Theater yesterday afternoon with an excellent presentation of that popular composition. "The Beggar Student." It was repeated last night to an audience that tested tho capacity of tho house. Tho character and merit of the opera is too well known to need any comment, and it is given a splendid interpretation by this company. The organization is not only strong numerically, bnt has several line singers who render their parts in a manner that commands admiration. Tho company has forty members, with a well-trained chorus oi twenty-five voices. Mr. Arm and, in the title role, sang in good voice, as did William Wolf iu tho part of General Olleudorf. Misses Johnson and Murphy were excellent in their solos, and Kenjamin Lodge, tho comedian, was fully equal to tho requirements of his character. "Boccaccio' will bo given this afternoon and evening, Three Cars Off the Track. Three passenger cars on tho Bee-lino west-bound train were ditched at Brightwood, near tho Belt and" I., B. & W. crossing, yesterday. No one was hurt and no serious delay resulted.
