Tho camples of water forwarded by the authorities at Connersvillo to be analyzed by Dr. Hurtyhave been found to be polluted with organic matter, but whether of that nature which wonld produce typhoid fever tho chemist has not been ablo to ascertain, owing to the small quantity of the water sent him. Tho samples wero selected from the town pump, tho Huston House and Orrs well. The two former contained moro organic matter than tho water taken fromOrr,9 well, thongh it was impregnated with tilth. That drawn from the supply furnished to the Huston House contained a quantity of organic debris, showing conclusively that tho well from which it was drawn was in a very dirty, condition. The microscope showed there were then in it pieces of cotton and thread and rotten piecea of wood. Water containing organic matter, says Secretary Metcalf, cf the State Hoard of Health, 'is not tit for use, but whether tho organic matter found in the samples of water from Connersville is ot that particular kind which produces typhoid fever cannot be ascertained until a chemical analysis is made. The three tests which have been applied to this water by Dr. llurtv are those of permanganate of potash, chlorine and sugar. To reach a satisfactory conclusion the chemists will require at least half a gallon of water from each source, and Secretary Metcalf has written requesting the authorities at Connersvillo to forward that quantity, and it is expected to arrive this morning. New Incorporations. Articles of incorporation have been filed with the Secretary of State by the Cammack Natural-gas and Mining Company.

WAITING FOR THE ELIXIR

Democrats Becoming Apatlieticwithbut One Active Candidate for Mayor, But Boss Coy Will Hare the Inflnsnce atTIand When the Nomination la Made Editor Frenzel's Part in the Canvass. Tho Democrats are losing the confidence they bad a day or two ago as to Sullivan or Norton being nominated for Mayor. "When it was believed, before the reputable executive committeo was appointed solely to cover the disreputable work of the gang, that the convention was not far away, tho Sullivan men were active. This increased the probabilities of his nomination and led tho prophets to count on it with a degree of certainty that made the Norton faction uneasy. Norton, however, made an active demand on his energy and that of his friends, and before three days elapsed changed the run of opinion so as to make the result doubtful. No Democrat can be found who will risk his reputation as a political observer to say what he thinks. "None of us," said one close to the purposes of the Coy gang, as well as being up with the wishes of tho Sullivan following, "can tell what will occur. To-day it appears as if Norton would bo the nominee. Last week I would have told you differently, but the fact is, 'nobody is working for tho nomination but Norton. Sullivan is being pressed only by those solicitous to advance bis chance for tho circuit judgeship. Ho has given them no assistance; indeed, they have no encouragement from him, except that he will unwillingly make tho race. That handicaps them at tho outset, and whatever they undertake in his interest is speedily undone by Norton and his friends. Ono is a candinate working hard for the honor, with just as much chance for election if he secures the nomination as tho other. With either judge as a candidate, wo must depend upon the same forces to elect him. The element that is backing Norton for the nomination must be brought into line for Sullivan if he is selected, or he will be defeated. The cry of tho so-called gang being for Norton has tho same application to Sullivan. Only in ono instance its usefulness to us is before the couvention, and in the other after it has done its work. Hut the condition to-day is one of apathy. Nothing is being done by either faction. When the canvass is to acquire life depends upon the time for the convention. In the meantime, both Norton and Sullivan may withdraw and leave tho tield open to a candidate npop whom tho gang and the element represented by the executive committee may unite." "Whoever is the Democratic candidato for Mayor," said a gentleman, yesterday, "the resources must come from the saloons. Some saloon-keepers will not contribute to the corruption fund, as they have nothing to give, but those who have it will give liberally. The brewers, of course, will give the larger amounts, as they havo always done. WThen Edenharter was the candidate two years ago he had nothing to carry him through except what the browers and saloon-keepers gave him. They made up a large purse for his personal expenses, besides turning a large sum over to Coy for his use. If Sullivan is nominated, his unwillingness to make the race will lead him to be chary in personal ex-pendituree-, and as the Democrats can arouse tho majority of voters only through a liberal distribution of dollars, they must be obtained from some Rource. That source is the saloon and brewery." Thus the Democratic lines are being defined. To elect any one that party must bo run by Coy, and. to help Coy the saloon must supply the the funds. ' One of Frenzel's Many Cases. Before the News and John P. Frenzel, of the Merchants' National Bank, and the Democratic party had mutual interests to sustain in Council, the editor of tho paper mentioned had the following to say, Sept 2, 1885, in regard to Mr. Pearson: Two years ago the Fifth ward Democracy made no nomination against Councilman Pearson, and he had a clear sweep. This fact eeeras to have exercised considerable influence, and Mr. Pearson, during his present term, has proven a very acceptable councilman to all classes, and probably no ono member "of the Council exercises more influence, nor has of tener been found upon the right side, than he. The Democracy aro expected to make a nomination to-nicht,but unless they can name an abler man, the suggestion comes from several quarters that they give Mr. Pearson tbe same indorsement he received w his la& race. To emphasize his confidence in Mr. rearson the editor of tho News, Oct. 12, 1885, allowed this to appear in his paper: This morning Pearson's ward was flooded with dodgers bearing the simple Inquiry, "Why cannot we Republicans select a better man for Council than John C. Pearson V It Is not known who is fathering this covert attack upon Mr. Pearson, or really what it means. It can bo said for Mr. Pearson that his present term In Council has been exceptionally good, and upou all tho Important matters. Including the saloon tax, his vote has been right. The Democracy havo already recognized this fact by not putting up a nomination against him. A few weeks before the News editor and John P. Frenzel engaged in the same enter prise. The former gave his indorsement to the following, which appeared in his paper Oct. 4, 1SS7: John R. Pearson, who happens to be a Repub lican representing a Kepubiican ward, has attended to the interests of his district without partisanship, and brings to the administration of analrs acquaintance ana long experience. After the News editor became intimate with John P. Frenzel, he began to write paragraphs like the following: One of tho best wards in Indianapolis repre sented in the City Council for ten years by tho superintendent of the gas company. Is not that a sharocl Would not any citizen of whatever city feel that he was telling a shameful thing to have to say that! "John P. Frenzel," said a Democrat yestcrdav. "has about as mncn as ho can at tend to and get time to sleep. - Ho is man aging his bank, and a natural gas company, and writing editorials for the NewB." Democratic Primaries. Thero are five Democratic primaries yet to be held in tho city to nominate candi dates for the Council and the Democratic citv central committee has fixed two of them for this evening. Tho Fourteenth ward meeting will be held at Landers's pork-house, at 7:00 to-night, and it is probable William II. Eymann will bo nominated, although Richard Merrick is talked of as a candidate. The Democrats of the Nineteenth ward also hold their primary this evening, at No. 127 South Noble street, and tho managers havo iixed upon T. J. Dutly, ono of Congressman Bynumrs proteges, although Councilman O'Connor and Messrs. Kussio and Austin are candidates. In tho Twenty-fifth wxrd Democratic primary, which is to be held to-morrow at the corner of Mcikel and McCarty streets, from 2 to 7 r. m.. Councilman Gaul is supposed to have a walk-over, although R. J. Nolan d and John Flaherty each wants the nomination. Democratic prospects in tho Fifth and Thirteenth wards are not promising enough to cause any vigorous demand for nominations and the primaries in those wards will probably como late on tho list. Edenharter' Availability. Now and then Dr. George F. Edenharter is suggested as a probable candidato for Mayor on the Democratic ticket. His name is always mentioned when his party friends become confused as to tho possible result of the tight Sullivan's friends are making against Norton and the row Norton wants to raiso regarding Sullivan. Edenharter was nominated two years ago at tho dicta tion of Coy, because he is or was a member of the Cigar-makers' union, binco men ne nas been a practicing pnysician, witn an ofbco within and a residence without the city. Will he be entitled to the nomination on account of his ofllce in tho city or his residence in Woodrutt Place! Can lie Councilman and Trustee. Somnch interest is felt in tho Twenty third ward about Markey holding two offices, one as councilman and the other as Coy's representative among the trustees of the Insane Hospital, that an inquiry was ei ado of tho Attornoy-general yesterday re

garding tho matter. The people who do not propose to vote for nis re-election wanted to know if ho could not be compelled to give up one of tho offices. The Attorney-general said that Markey being a trustess of tho Insane Hospital, could not be kept out of Council on that account. He referred to a decision of the Supreme Court in the State, ex rel. Piatt vs. Kirk, 44th Indiana, page 401, in which it was held that tho otlice of city councilman was not a lucrative office under the laws of the State, and that Kirk might lawfully bo councilman and a director of tho State Prison at the samo time. . Mr. Coy on Deck. I am the boss of Norton, With my grip on Sullivan. I am Just from Michigan City, And the same old committeeman.

OBJECT TO THE METHOD. Dr. Rawlins's Friends Have No Grievance Except Their Treatment by Mr. Shinkle. J udge R. N. Lamb has returned from Cincinnati, whither he went as a friend of Dr. Rawlins, of Spencer, whom tho Methodists of Indianawould havo been greatly pleased to see in th"o position of editor of the Western Christian Advocate, made vacant by the death of Dr. J. H. Bayliss. "A number of Dr. Rawlins's friends went to Cincinnati," said tho Judge, "including Hon. Will Cumback, Professor Ridpath, Captain Beem and Mr. Huff and Mr. Ovcrstreet, of , Spencer, and myself. They had the recommendations favoring the selection of the Doctor, as published in tho communication in the Journal, and Professor Ridpath, Mr. Cumback and Captain Beem were appointed a committeo to prepare and present the recommendations. They prepared a letter to the book committee requesting them to indicate whether it would be convenient to bear our committee on behalf of Dr. Rawlins, or whether they would take and examine the testimonials in favor of his selection. This letter was handed to Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, who is a member of that committee, and he said at the time to Dr. Rawlins's friends that the committee would bo glad, he had no doubt, to hear anything thoy had to present. General Fisk did hand this letter to Mr. Shiukle, the president of the book committee, stating to him what it was, and that was the last of it." "What became of it!" "It was a very polite letter, a request prepared by Professor Ridpath, and asking an answer from the committee as to how they would be willing to hear from the friends of Dr. Rawlins. Tho letter was addressed, not to Mr. Shinkle, but to the book committee. Very soon after it was handed to Mr. Shinkle, he called the committee to order and proceeded to take an informal ballot. I am informed that Gen. Fisk went to him and asked what ho had done or proposed doing with tho latter. I am not informed what answer he made to the General, but he proceeded to call for another ballot and the second ballot was taken, resulting like the first in no choice. Then the third ballot came, resulting in the selection of Dr. 'Moore, of Colorado. The recommendations that had been prepared favoring tho appointment of Dr. Rawlins as a matter of fact never went before the committee at all. There was no demand on the part of tho Doctor's friends that he should be appointed, no threat to boycott the Christian Advocate in case he was not selected, as was published in the Associated Press dispatchthere's not a word of truth in that dispatch. Friends of Dr, Rawlins were there in his behalf with numerous testimonials. They simply desired to present them and were prevented from doing 6o by the action of Mr. Shinkle. "How do Dr. Rawlins's friends feel about the matter!" "So far aslhave.heard they feel ontraged, not so much at the result as the method by which it was brought about. I do not know that the other members of the book committee knew anything of the action of Mr. Shinkle. I have no information on that subject." - . AMUSEMENTS. GRAND 0FERA-II0USE "A BRASS MONKEY." Tbe regular season at tbe Grand opened last night with a clever presentation of Hoyt's skit, "A Brass Monkey," by a competent company. There is even less of what Francis Murphy would call continuity in this than in any of Mr. Hoyt's preceding character sketches, but it takes a wider range, and there are more types than in his former efforts, while tho humor is more equally distributed. Thero are nearly a dozen good points in the production, from Jonah, the victim of superstition an admirable study by Charles Drew toBaggage, Jonah's daughter, a good but meddlesome child, by Flora Walsh. Tho special corre spondent of the Societv Gazette, by Mrs. 5 in iir.1 l . ti- i i Alice waisn, is an excellent piece or caricature, and the two rounders, "Potter, of Texas." by J. C. Miron, and "Barnes, of New York," by Otis Harlan, are side-splitting presentations of the modern tough. The musical numbers by Rosa France, Lottie Uart and Beth Bradford are not the least attractive part of the entertainment, and tho company is strong in melodious members. Murphy, Harlan and Mirou making up an admirable trio, and Drew, Rosa France and Flora WTalsh furnishing new and attractive solos. The house was well filled, and tho engagement, which continues the remainder of the week, and includes a Saturday matinee, promises to be a successful one. h THE CYCLOUAMA. Since Manager Newby and lecturer II. B. Hopkins have become connected with the Cyclorama many novel and interesting features have been introduced in tho attractions offered by this popular resort for illustrative historical reminiscences. Last night, however, all their previous efforts were eclipsed by tho arrangements thoy mado for the amusement of their patrons. Tho battle-field was presented as it appeared at midnight, with the roar of musketry and cannon heard on all sidos. The watch and signal lights observed on the hill-tops gave the scene a beautiful and realistic effect. The attendance was so large that no doubt tho same efforts to attract the people to this great painting will soon be repeated. In fact, last evening was one of exceptional interest at tho Cyclorama. NOTES. Hettio Bernard Chase will play the "Little Coquetto" at tho Tark Theater next week. The engagement of the Connelly "Soap Bubble" Company will close at the Park to-morrow night. Hanlon's "New Fantasma" will be seen at the Grand Opera-house during fair week. "The Burglar" will then be , at English's, and Peter Baker at the Park. A Mossback's Mistake. Yesterday a countryman burst into the Governor's room at the State-house, and walking up to tho Governor, who was seated at his deskshook him heatily by tho hand, at the same time inquiring, "How are you. General Jackson?' Governor Hovey, with some embarrassment told the enthusiastic countryman that his name was Hovey, not Jackson. The old provincial looked disappointed, and replied: "Well, I thought you wero General Jackson." This incident goes to prove conclusively that the mossack Democrats are still working for Jackson. More Books Than Were Ordered. There aro 0G0 of the Bccktold-Williams geographies at Township Trustee Many's office, 430 moxh books having been delivered than were ordered. It is the same old Minnesota geography, worked over and rejuvenated. . Cutting Down a Hill. The steep billon Illinois street, just north of Fall creek, is being cut down live inches to tho hundred feet As this grade will be carried a thousand feet or more, the heavy pull up the hill will be materially lessened. Teachers for the Deaf and Dumb. Noble B. McKeo has been chosen principal of tho school work at tho Institute of tho Deaf and Dumb. The trustees have offered Prof. Hoskms, of Columbus, O., a position as teacher. .

BOARD OF TRADE PARAGRAPHS. '

Proposed Improvements in the Building A Rnle Hurtfal to the Grain Trade. The proposed improvements to be mado in tho Board of Trade building include the erection of a snite of ofliccs, an eleVator for tho purpose of conveying the members up and down, and a large cupolato bo placed in the center of the ceiling for the purposo of affording better light. The idea of having offices to occupy one-half the present call-room is a sensible one. Such a plan will increase the revenues of tho board, and at tho sanfe time it would not prove detrimental to tho present wants of the organization, or interfere in any way with the accommodations of tho caller. There is among the rules of tho board one that is considered especially hurtful to the interests of the elevator men, and its abolition would be hailed with delight by this class of dealers. The rule referred to is the one which deals with tho delivery of grain in the city. In Toledo, for instance, the grain is delivered on an elevator receipt, no matter what the grade, and nothing is sold on the track. The contention here is that the railroads discriminate so much against tho elevator men in tho matter of trackage and the different manufacturers in the city that the former cannot afford to allow any property to go into the elevator and be taken out afterwards, and to obviate this tho railroads ought to agree on a nominal trackago that would justify tho elevator men in storing. To illustrate this, for tho last two or three weeks the latter have been flooded with white grain, tho principal grain used here in manufacturing. The railroads have been urging dealers to sell, aud unload anything they may have ou tho tracks, but tho obstacle arises that after the grain is unloaded there is no possible chance of delivering it afterward. One reason for this is that tho rule of the board will not permit of the delivery of elevator property as track grain, even though the grade may be the same. On the other hand, the ex- . pense of carrying from tho elevator to the manufacturer is so great, in addition to the expense of putting in and getting out of the elevator, that none of them will risk the expenditure. This makes a difference of 2 and 212 cents a bushel between track gram and elevator grain delivered in the city, and cuts the elevators entirely out of tbe trade. Mr. Kinney gives the following reasons which, in his opinion, are answerable for tho small attendance of members. "One of the principal things," said be, "is the absence of speculation, and thero does not appear to be any possibility of such transactions here. This makes the floor lack the interest and go of any other exchange. Our stock does not get large enough m the elevators to induce speculation, and for this reason the men do not dare to sell any thing that they have not absolutely got in their possession here. If there was a speculative business, or if there was any inclination to make a speculative market, it wonld induce an attendance and make business brisk and profitable." Coh Alexander Campbell, of tho United States commission to Melbourn International Exhibition, has addressed a communication to the Board of Trade, asking to be allowed to deliver, under its auspices, ;a lecture upon "The History, Manners and Customs of Australia," with especial reference to the wool productions ot that continent. WThile the lecture would doubtless prove interesting and instructive, the board feels that lecturing is out of, its province, and has instructed the secretary to write an answer accordingly. The inventor of a preparation for the extermination of potato bugs called at the building yesterday morning, and throwing some of the liquid upon the floor, throw several potato-bugs into it, with remarkable results. The members of tbe board, instead of interesting themselves in the deathdealing potion, immediately commenced betting upon which stupefied bug would crawl tho furthest, much to the disgust of the inventor and vender, who could be heard talking to himself as ho left the room. Any person possessing a copy of a book entitled "Tho Industries of Indianapolis," recently issued under tho suspices of tho board, and for which he has no further use, will confer a favor by forwarding the same to the secretary. Inquiries are being received for copies ' from all parts of the world. i Opening of the Schools. The detailed preparations for the opening of tho city schools on Monday next are fast being completed. Pupils who wish to be examined for the High-school, or for advanced standing should apply at Highschool No. 1, this morning at 8 o'clock. Pupils of tho various district schools should apply at the building which they last attended. If their grades aro no longer to be found in such buildings, pupils will then be directed by the principal to the appropriate buildings. In tbe northeastern part of the city, pupils who attended School 27 till the close of last year should all attend there this year till tho now building on College avenue is completed. It will be necessary to make some of the schools in No. 27 half-day schools till the new building is ready for occupancy. Meetings of teachers will be held to-morrow morning with the following programme: 9 o'clock, 2B, 2A and SB grades, Room.C, Miss Crop6ey; 9 o'clock, grades 6L 8A, inclusive, Room D, drawing, Mr. Brown. 9:?.0 o'clock, all teachers of German, Room A, Mr. Emmerich; 9:45 o'clock, 1A grade, Room C, Miss Cropsey: 9:45 o'clock, grades 4B.5A, inclusive Room D, drawing, Mr. Brown; 10:30 o'clock, general meeting. High-school Hall. Teachers of all grades are expected to be present at this meeting. ' Willing to Accept the First Figures. Wben the building of a viaduct on South Meridian street, over the Union tracks, was talked of it met with bitter opposition on tho part of property-holders on either side of tho tracks. They favored building it on the first alley east of Meridian street, and stated that the damages the Union Railway Company would be obliged to pay would not exceed $10,000. When it was decided to build on this alley a city commission was appointed to appraise the damages, and it lixed them at 610,000. While the Union Railway Company thought the sum exorbitant it accepted tho appraisement, but several of the property-holders came to the conclusion that the sum was too low, and appealed to the courts. On this tho Union Railway Company dropped the viaduct project, at least for the present. Now it is stated that several of those who appealed would gladly take the appraisement. If this bo true, somo steps should be taken at once to bring all paities together, that they may reach somo agreement by which the improvement can be begun immediately. m Si Aspiring to lie Pension Examiners. W. H. Huston, of the Snrgeon-general's office, Washington, D. C. is here as special examiner, assisted by W. P. Fishback and Noble C. Butler, of the local civil-service board, examining applicants who aspire to be special pension examiners. This is the June examination gone over again, complaint having been made by a Mr. Murphy and others that the previous examination of that time was not fairly conducted, the question papers having in some way got into trie hands of some of the applicants before the proper time, thus giviug them an opportunity toiook up some of the occult questions. LaM Juno there were sixty applicants, now there are but twenty-six. The ratings of the papers filled out by the applicants will be made in Washington, so that the work of tho commissioners hero is merely to distribute the question papers and see that the examination is fairly conducted for ail parties concerned. Death of a Tramp. Yesterday morning Coroner Wagner investigated the suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of a tramp named Henry McRay, which occurred at Oakland. The deceased, who was accompanied by two other tramps, was taken sick upon bis reaching tho village, and it is stated by the

villagers that his companions wanted to shoot him, but were prevented by them from so doing. No marks of violence wero discovered by the coroner upon tho person of the deceased, and a verdict of death from natural causes was returned.

' GONE TO FIND THEIR FATHER. A Woman Finds a Trace of Her Children Through a Prisoner at the Station-House. At tho head of a rickety flight of stairs, in the rear of the premises No. CS Maryland street is a small room abont soven feet by four, a vermin-swarmed straw-bed lies on the floor, and all around there is evidence of abject poverty and squalid filth, while the air is full of pestilence from lack of ventilation and the reeking odor of tho gutters. Since Saturday last this room has been occupied by a Mrs. Buchanan and her two children, Josephine and Nancie, aged, respectively, eleven and six years. The mother has been trying to eko out a miserable existence by peeling tomatoes in a neighboring restaurant, how vainly can be told by her own pinched and wasted cheeks, and in the starving appearance of the children. Yesterday morning the children disappeared from tho dilapidated habitation, and the mother last night, apparently greatly grieved, called at police headquar-. ters and gave information of their loss. Just previous to her visit to the police a man named Ben Jameson had been arrested aud confined in a cell, on a charge of drunkenness, and he, hearing the woman's story, called out . that ho knew the circumstances of their disappearance. When confronted by Mrs. Buchanan. Jameson stated that be had early in the morning given the children money to go by rail to Morgantown, where their father lived. The woman seemed to discredit the story, and as it appeared rather susEicious a Journal reporter visited the ouse on Maryland street to glean eome particulars. Here, on inquiry, he found the man's story was true. But women who occupy adjacent rooms gave instances of the children's suffering, saying that the mother on leaving the room for work locked the children in, and that since Saturday the eldest child had told them they had lived on hard bread soaked in water. Inqniry at the depot went far to prove the truth of these stones. The conductor of the train by which the children traveled had, seeing their starved, emaciated appearance, bought them some breakfast before they started on their journey. ' They Say the Trust la All Right. The managers of the Consumers' Trust say that an attempt is being made by those whom they have sued in 'Squire WaJpole's court for their subscriptions, and by others, to make the outcome of those cases redound to the injury of tho Trust They say that this attempt will fail as, while the company has no large surplus, $90,000 of its floating debt has been paid off. It has now no floating debt, meets all its current obligations, and a further expenditure of $150,000 for drilling wells and laying new pipe lines in the gas fields forwinter is provided for. They say it has added to its lines since last March, 1,100 new consumers, and this work is going on at the rate of ten a day and will continue until frost stops the making of street connections. Brothers Opposed the Marriage. F. 8. Bence, connected with tho Van Camp Hardware and Iron Company, and Miss Bertha A.

They gave as their reasons for eloping that the brothers of Miss Judd opposed the marriage. They will remain at Jeffcrsonville a few days. The JLuelcjf Xumber9 8650.
