NEABING THE NOMINATIONS

The City Conventions of Both Parties Expected During the Coming Week. A South-Side Movement for Representation Last Night's Committee ATcrk-Prima-ries and Aidennanic Conventions. The growing restlessness of tho rank and nlo in both political organizations, over the delay in calling tho city conventions, is having its effect upon the manager and it 18 Probable that tho nominating assemblies of both will be called to meet daring the coming week. The executive committee of the Democratic central committee holds another session to-morrow evening, and will have tho question under advisement, and . the executive committee of the Kepublican central committee, which was appointed last night, will, doubtless, consider tho matter as soon as it meets for the purposes of organization. So far as the active candidates for tho mayoralty are .concerned, they are confined to the Democratic niri an,i f them J micro Norton is tho only aspirant whose position entitles him to the name of a candidate. Judgo Sullivan is in the hands of his friends, who are becoming a little disheartened over tho apathy and inditlereuco of their charge; and Dr. Kdenharter has taken himself out of tho hands of his friends and enemies alike by declining to pe considered in connection with the nomination. On the other side there was some movement yesterday among South-side republicans to havei that section of the city recognized in the selection of a candidate, a General Coburn wa3 spoken of as a suitable representative of that interest lii ere is no disguising the fact that the conjunction of judicial with executive duties in the ottlce of the mayoralty is having the etiect of inducing many men amply qualified to represent the city in a purely executive capacity to shrink from assuming the chances of serving both aa a Mayor and a police magistrate, and there is a possibility that the Kepublican city convention, when it meets, muling itself without the candidate it dosires, will have to put its hand npon one Of thftSfl IlTlwi II i n cr rroti lom n onil T rm 4 optn as a judge and executive ruler, leave him to get rid of his scruples and unwillingWork of the Committee. There was a fuU meeting of the republican city central committee, last night, at the Indianapolis republican Club rooms, to hear tne reports of sub-committees, and to further preparo for the Republican aidennanic primaries and conventions. The roll was called and the progress of the canvass in each ward reported. In most of them the first poll has been completed, and in those not yet finished the work win likely be finished on Monday next. At the meeting of the committee on Wednesday last Chairman Joyce was instructed to report by the following Saturday the names of not less than five Republican residents of tho city who, together with the olllcers of tho central committee, should constitute the executive committee for the campaign. Seven names were reported by him, making the executive committee, including the four officers referred to, stand as follows: John L-McMaster. Thomas E. Chandler, Edward II. Dean, James L. Fletcher, John V. Tarkcr. L. A. Fulmer.W.N. Harding, A. J.Joyce, John II. Iless. Otto Greaham and N. 8. Byram.

Isaac Thalina.i. Granville Jrv right and Harry II. Smith l'iff a will nominate meu who will make an active canvass. There Is active Democratic dissatisfaction In several portions of the two districts hitherto represented by Democratic aldermen, and there Is a fair prospect of Increasing tho present llepublican majority in the board. Councllmanic Primaries. In the Twenty-fifth ward last night, at tho Democratic primary for councilman, Noland and Flaherity combined forces and defeated Councilman Gaul's hopes for renomlnation, the vote etanding, Noland, 44G; Gaul, 354. It required considerable beer to get out the vote and an agent for an enlarged style of hat could do a pood business for some days to come among those who took part in the primary. There are several vacant Democratic nominations for Council still to be secured by energetic applicants In the Hecond. Fifth, Eleventh, a Welfth and Thirteenth wards. ' Statesman Coy la likely to have his attention confined to the Eighteenth ward 1 for some time to come. The Republican candidate there is likely to be either John Marsee or J. F. Shuffleton.

Inquiries That, Through Replies, Increase the Tostage Account of Secretary Heron. It would bo a very difficult task for an expert to decipher from the mass of correspondence which daily floods tho office of the State Agricultural ' Department, the distinguishing traits and callings of tho individuals who have written them. Every style of caligraphy presents Itself, from the cramped, indistinct tracings of ago to the bolder, if badly-written, outline of youth, feminine and inascnline. The naturo of this correspondence is such that Secretary Heron and Assistant Secretary Roso must needs be blessed with Job-like patience, to enable them to bear up under tho trying ordeal which is daily inflicted upon them by having to reply to the absurdities which necessitate the courtesy of a reply. "A greater number of letters," said Assistant Secretary Kose, "come to this office than to any other office in the State. Thcv come from all parts of the country, and from all classes of persons, and just at present, owing to the approach of fair time, tho receipt is enormous. Only one in a thousand thinks of inclosing a stamp when requesting a reply, and this omission makes the postage bill of the office larger than that of the other State offices put together. The letters we receive come from all classes and conditions of people, engineers, doctors, mechanics, farmers, literary men and show people. There is hardly a question of any character but what we have been called-upon to answer, for all professions seem in some manner to be connected with agriculture. I will show you a few samples of the letters received during tho week, so that you will be able to judgo for yourself tho nature of some of the letters we are called upon to answer. Most of them relate to the fair." Tho first letter taken from the drawer proved to be from Mount Vernon, and contained no less than forty-three questions, most of them of a trivial character, and the writer ends his enistile in the following queer manner: "i could exhibit thirteen yariety.of grapes out of thirty-two a-grow-ing. I could also exhibit about a cart-load of fossil rock, also other curiosities, but I have neither the teams, means nor a showcase about twenty feet long to exhibit it in, hence 1 must abstain." A ehowinan from Logansport wanted Bpace on the fair grounds to exhibit a natural cariosity, half man and half horse, and winds up with the following Barnum-like business query: "Do you expect a big crowd?" Another, a -Cleveland correspondent, asked for the privilege of running a lottery for jewelry or cigars, and assures the board that there are no blanks in this game; and that he the showman for a preference would take the jewelry privilege. One letter from fFort Wayne begins in au abrupt and unique style with "Good morning. Sir." '. The writer is tickled over the receipt of a complimentary ticket, but, not satisfied with the courtesy extended to himself, suggests the name of a friend to be treated in a similar manner. One of the communications bears the sigs nature of F. Cody, jr., anrt the writer claimto be a very near relative of the distinguished friend of crowned heads who is now with his Wild West show in Paris. Cody, jr., sets forth tho fact that ho is tho best marksman in the world with a pistol, one of his feats being to smash a glass ball placed in his wife's mouth with a shot from a revolver. Numerous other , examples could be given of tho many peculiar epistles that hnd their way into the secretary's hands, but the instances cited above are sufficient to show the present nature of the inquiries made, , Keep a Close Eye on the Meal-liar. The other day an old settler was complaining that ho could not find any good corn-meal in the market "How is that! was inquired of a miller. There's too much kiln-dried meal." was the answer. "Kiln-dried meal is meal that his all the moisture of the corn evaporated. That prevents it from becoming musty. Then it has the germ of the grain taken out. Hominy is made llrst, and the Unity part of the corn is ground Into meal. There is positively no nutrition in it. Such meal is usually made by shippers. The meal that is made for a local demand, and made from day to day, is ground with the germ in it But look out for the other kind, for that is in the market too, and It is nothing but filling; it isn't food at all. "What has become of the old-fashioned yellow corn meal!" There is little er none of it. Borne millers grind up dried pumpkin with white meal, and you can make cither pumpkin pies or corn bread out of it. And after you have made H up the corn bread will be pumpkin pie and the pumpkin pie will be corn bread. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN.

AMATEUR ATHLETIC FEATS

The New Park Opened with a Variety of Exercises That Pleased a Good Crowd. Buschman Takes Many Prizes, bat Fails io Breafc His Becord on a High Jump A Very Bad Game of Bali. There was a beautiful display of lively young muscle brought into action in feats of dexterity and strength yesterday afternoon at the first annual f eld day and opening of Athletic Park. The day wa glorious, the spectators numerous, and all had como in a good humor, which they were disposed to retain and take away with them. The park is all that could be desired for athletic sports as level as a lloor and clean as a new pin, though the clay that has been filled into the low places has dried slowly after the rains, and was not considered sufficiently firm for the long-distance foot races and the bicycle races, which were postponed. The officers of tho day took their places upon the Held and the sports began, with Georire Keisner referet: George H. Bryco and Allan Hendricks, judges; Merrill Moores and Clinton L. Hare, time-keepers; Edward T. Uranham, starter, and James L. Harnett elerk of the course. The first thing on the programme was a sack race, fifty yards, the prize to the winner being a pair of Italian clubs, by the gymnasium committee, in which tho contestants were Carl HenryX'harlesForsinger, A. E. Whitney. A. W. Morris and J. L. Eklund, tho last-named winning in 10 2-5 seconds. This was a somewhat exciting and highly-amusing performance. Next came a hundred-yards dash with the field, six . entries, being divided, with throe runs insach heat. In the first heat were K. F. Saltmarsh, Harry liorn and E. A. Pierce, who reached the goal in the order named; in the second were C. L. liuschman, A. 15. Taylor and J. L. Eklund, with linschman first, Taylor second and Eklund third. A third heat, of 100 yards, was run to 6ettle the race, in which the six runners took part. Buschman won in 11 3-5 seconds; Saltmarsh second, Eklund third. The prize was a pair ol running-shoes, given by Chas. Mayer & Co. . Tutting the shot" is a feat which not only requires muscle, but skill. The shot was an iron sphere, weighing sixteen pounds. Several throws were made, C. L. Buschman's best cast being forty feet and four inches, with Jules Jeanneret as a close second. The successful thrower received as a prize a Plymouth air-gun, given by Kipp Bros. "Throwing the hammer" followed, with the following contestants: V. B. Willits, C. Lu Buschman, P. Knerr, A. B. Taylor, and Jules Jeenneret, the hammer weighing sixteen pounds. Willits led, throwing through space to the distance of thirty-seven feet ten inches, Knerr and Taylor making about the same progress. Theso gentlemen dropped out,' when Buschman measured forty-nine feet one inch, and Jules Jeanneret forty-nine feet six inches. Buschman's subsequent throws measured, respectively, fifty-one feet six inches, fiftytwo feet five inches, and fifty-two feet ten inches, taking tho sUver cup offered by Bingham & Walk. It was here noticed that all the contestants in this match, as well as those who took part in tho other feats, were vigorously at work oh chewing-gum, and as they came forward to toe the mark to throw or to run, would set their teeth firmly together in the yielding mass. At tho same time a small boy, who had strayed out upon the field, putllug away at a cigarette, was taken by the ear and marched outside the ropes, narrowly escaping ejectment from the grounds. There were four entries in the "standing broad iump," K. F. Saltmarsb, C. L. Buschman, A. B. Tailor, and E. A. Pierce, the prize ottered for best jump being a tennis blazer, by the Model. Buschman made terf feet, five inches, withSaltmarsh second, making nine feet, eleven and onehalf inches. One of the most laughable featuros of the afternoon was the threelegged race, one hundred yards distance, the prize being a gymasium locker, offered by the Y. M. C. A. The entries were, C. L. Buschman, K. F. Saltmarsh, C. C. Forsinger, A. W. Morris, J. L. Eklund. W. Clarke, Edw. Whitney, K. Henry. F. B. McCounell, V. B. Willetts. These were tied together by twos at the ankle, tho right foot of one to tho left foot of the other, and as they left the mark at the signal of a pistol shot for a hundred yards' dash, the awkward, straggling line brought forth a roar of laughter from the on-lookers. The contestants soon caught the way of doing it, and the pairs came in at the finish pretty well bunched, with Saltmarsh and Buschman first, Morris and Forsiuger second, Whitney aud Henry third. Time, 10 4-5 seconds. Kunning high jump was the next feat, and excited more enthusiasm in the spectators than anything that had thus far taken place. E. L. Denny, C. L. Buschman, A. B. Taylor, E. A. Pierce were the contestants. When the stick over which they were jumping reached a height of 4 feet 5Lj inches the young gentlemen got over it with great difficulty, each one in turn knocking it down. Ono after another dropped out as it .went up two or three notches higher, leaving Buschman winner at the height of 4 feet 7. lie failed, although he made three efforts, to reach his record, made at the Y. M. C. A. gvmnasium, Feb. 22, 18S8, when his high jump measured 4 feet 82 inches. Mr. Buschman also marched off with the prize, a silk tennis shirt, oliered by the When. Thus far all the prizes but that given in the sack race had been taken by C. L. 15 u sch man, a lack of variety that was becoming somewhat monotonous. Everybody was well pleased when the next feat, that of "throwing base-ball," was called, as it brought to the front a number of new contestants. The entries were: E. L. Denny, F. B. McConnell, J. H. Brink, C. L. Buschman, Samuel Kobinson, E. A. Pierce, J. A. Eklund, A. B. Taylor, F. 8wan, George Sutphen, Thomas Hay, L. J. Dochez, A. Buschman, Edward Igleman and Rev. K. V. Hunter and Aqnilla Jones. Air. Hunter said he could throw for tho clergy and Mr. Jones for the legal profession. After the first throw the law and the clergy dropped out. as did all the others except Swan, Sutphen, Hay and A. Buschman. The best throw . was mado ' by Swan, SOO feot. with A. Buschman second. 202 feet. No professional was allowed to tako part in this, or any one who had ever thrown for a money prize. The prize was a ball given by the association. 7.'he afternoon closed with a base-ball contest between the ministers and lawyers. There was a goodly number of each profession in attendance, and there was iio trouble in selecting the two nines. Tho clerical nine, as given to the reporter, read. Kev. Dr. 11. A. Cleavelnnd, pitcher, Kev. Dr. S. A. Keen, catcher: Kev. T. N. Tood. first base: Kev. E. P. Whallon. second base: Kev. K. V. Hunter, short-stop; Kev. J. M. Bailey, third base; Kev. J. E. Brown, right field; Kev. Frank Tincher, middle field; Rev. .1. F. Woodruff, left field. The gentlemen pointed ont to tho reporter ns Drs. Cleveland and Keen look very diffeieut in their base-ball suits from what they do in their pulpit clothes. The legal nine consisted of A. Q. Jones, pitcher; J. Kobinson, c; I. Newberger, 1 b.; Oliver Carter. 2 b.; Will Taylor, 3 b.; Chas. L. Hasoly, ss.; J. L. McMaster, r. f., W. II. Sahse, ra. f.. M. F. Cox. I. f. Mr. Hunter captained tho preachers, and Mr. Newberger the lawyers. Captain Tarlton acting as umpire, with Dr. Ralph Perry to assist in close decisions. To say. in tho weird and pictnresque verbiage of the basoball reporter that the game was "very yellow," would hardly fit the case. To properly describe it one would have to draw npon tho entire chromatic scale and appropriate all the colors of the rainbow. No report can be given of the game, as after the first inning the audience as one man made a stampede for the street cars. m Enjoined from Visiting.

They are in the care of plaintiffs parents, and it is claimed they have been injured oy the conduct of defendant Took Snap Judgment Special to tlie JittliaoapolU Journal. VINCE5NES, Ind., Pert. 7.

declare the office vacant because the superintendent waited to give bond according to the directions of the now school-book law, the commissioners holding that he should have given the required bond at once Instead of waiting till the Governor's proclamation made the law operative. In session the commissioners also refused to pay the superintendent his last quarter's salary, and he sued the board at once to test the case and discover whether or not their ejectment was legaL There Is scarcely a lawyer here who sustains the commissioners. It Is the general opinion that the commissioners took snap judgment on Johnson, who is a Kepublican, purely for political purposes. Rurglars at DelphL Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Delphi, Ind.. Sept. 7. This city is being "worked" systematically by burglars. Within the last month a dozen attempts have been made to burglarize residences, and in several instances they have been successful. Last night the residence of Will C. Smith was entered and a gold watch and f20 in money taken. Several other residences escaped simply because the mldnierht m&rauders were discovered before they had effected an entrance. "

Travelers by land or sea are liable to constipation or other derangements of the stomach and bowels which, if neglected, lead to serious and often fatal consequences. The most sure means of correcting these evils is the use of Ayer's. Cathartic Pills. The prudent sailing-master would as soon go to sea without his chronometer as without a supply of these Pills. Though prompt and energetic in operation, Ayer's Pills leave no ill effects ; they are purely vegetable and sugar-coated ; the safest medicine for eld and young, at home or abroad. "For eight years I was afflicted with constipation, which at last became so bad that the doctors could do no more for me. Then I began to take Ayer's Pills, and soon the bowels recovered their natural and regular aotion, so th&t now I am in Excellent health." Mrs. C. E. Clark, Tewksbury, Massachusetts. " I regard Ayer's Pills as one of the most reliable general remedies of our times. They have been in use in my family for affections requiring a purgative, and have given unvarying satisfaction. We have found them an excellent . remedy for colds and light fevers." W. R. Woodson, Fort Worth, Texaa. For several years I have relied more upon Ayer's Pills than upon anything else in "the medicine chest, to regulate my bowels and those of the ship's crew. These Pills are not severe in their action, but do their work thoroughly. I have used them with good effect for the cure of rheumatism, kidney troubles, and dyspepsia." Capt. Mueller, Steamship Felicia, New York City. I have found Ayer's Cathartic Pills to be a better family medicine for common use than any other pills within my knowledge. They are not only very effective, but safe and pleasant to take qualities which must make them valued by the public.'.' Jules Hauel, Perfumer, Philadelphia, Pa. Ayer's Pills, PREPARED BT Or.' J. C.
