LOOKING FOR A CANDIDATE

A Few Democrats Would Like to HaYO Some One Step Oat and Defeat Norton. Gossip About a Police Judgeship Revived A Growing Opposition to the Course Pursued . bj Saloon-Keepers The Conventions. Sunday, which usually acts as a joultice on political inflammation, failed to allay the excitement in the mnnicipal bodypolitic entirely yesterday, and there was a good deal of labor performed against which the statutes fail to provide. In the mayorality contest on the Democratic eide there is considerable inclination among those, who have heretofore supported Judge Sullivan to take up somo candidate whose heart will bo found more warmly enlisted in the work of demolishing Judge Norton's chances of the nomination than the first-named - gentleman's cordifonn apparatus. There is some talk of Allen W. Conduitt among the antiNorton Democrats, but Mr. Conduitt is not understood to be hankering after the nomination much more ferociously than Judge gnllivan. The fact is, that outside of Norton's candidacy the Democracy is not any better supplied with active aspirants for the mayoralty than the Republicans. R. C.J. Pendleton has intimated that under certain conditions he could be induced to serve, but the Democracy seems to have constituted itself into a committee of the whole to see that those circumstances shall not arise. Colonel Downing, who was mentioned early in the contest, says he cannot conceive of any circumstances under which he could be" induced to serve. Meanwhile Judge Norton is pur suing the even tenor of his canvass, con ducting his campaign liberally, with no lack of means to back his enterprise, and with a corps cl lieutenants behind hira who understand all that is worth knowing in Democratic city politics, from tho collar and elbow of a ward primary up to the ' death crapple of a general convention. On the Republican side tho situation is not materially changed from that of last weex. mere is still conomeraDie talK oi a division of the present duties of the Mayor and the selection of a police ludse who would look after the trial of city cases, leaving the Mayor to attend to the purely executive duties of his office. but there is scarcely time left for carrying i out any such plan, in order to perfect - thii project an ordinance would have to bo passed by Council providing for the elec tion of a police judge at the ensuing elec tion, and unless the ordinance is brought forward this week, there will not be time for its publication and final passage before the 8th of October. Even if more time ex isted, it is by no means certain that a suf ficient vote could be secured in Council to effect the passage of such an ordinance. The average councilman is a wary citizen. and the present members of the city legislature who want to retain . their seats seem to be apprehensive that a movement of that character would be looked upon by the public as a multiplica tion of ollic-cs. and that public indignation would be visited upon them at the polls. It is urged in favor of the proposition that tho cost of the two offices need not exceed tho $1,000 annual salary now paid the ; Mayor; that 1,500 of this amount every year woum Becure ine services or a competent police judge, and that the remain- ; ing $2,500, paid as an annual salary to a Mayor, who was not compelled to hold police court daily, would eecufe the services of tbo best material lor the pface. and would make the position congenial and desirable to men who could not now be indncedtotakeit at $4,000 per annum. The -reply thus far made to this argument bv those members or uouncil who stand out against the plan is that this view of tho I case would, not be understood, by their con ; stituents, and that it would be looked upon - us a scheme to further deplete the treasury. . and unless the aforesaid constituents notify t their representatives that wisdom is not Confined to councils, and that the average voter can see through a ladder and do sums in Addition and subtraction, the plan is UKeiy to laih It is not unlikely that the temperance clement, as distinguished from the Prohibition organization, will cut some figure in i the contest before it is concluded. The consolidation of the liquor interest in favor of a Democratic candidate for Mayor, and its liberal contribution in that direction, as well as its determination to resist the $250 license law, as evidenced by its stren uous opposition in the courts - to the carrying out of the law passed by the last Legislature, has opened tne eyes oi a gooa many people. .They are of a class, too, who have not hitherto been inclined to carry their opposition Jto the free and unrestricted sale of liquor ir to political contests. "1 have always advocated a liberal policy toward the saloonkeepers," Paid a prominent lawyer yesterday; "but I have always believed the public had a right to regulate the sale of Jiquor. If the people who are engaged in Hhat line of business think they can nullify the laws made for their government, or mate them dead letters by electing othcers who will not enforce statutes and ordinances, I am ready to help to establish the 'proposition that it is the city that ought to regulate the saloons, ana not the saloons . that ought to regulate tho citv. There is still an active desire manifested among South-side Republicans to have that section more fully represented in the next -municipal administration, and this feeling prompted the mention of General Coburn and one or two other South-side residents in connection with the Republican nomination for the mayoralty. The former has always been a hrm friend of the Gartield Park and other South-side improvements, as well as improvements in other portions of the city. Among resi dents in other portions of the city who have large iuterests on tho South Sido and who have been uamed in connection with the Republican mayoralty nomination, aro i 1 I t .' 1 1 i .i i.j i r i yuiuuei, Jiiuaru aim xuwmu n. jyean. Either of them would prove strong candi dates in all sections of the city if nominated Meetings of both the Republican and Democratic citjT executive committees have been called to meet to-day, and it is probnble that calls will be issued this week for both city conventions. The election of delegates to the alderiaanic conventions "will be completed on Wednesday, and there is a possibility that delegates to the city conventions may be selected at the samo time. All the conventions may beheld during the latter part of the present or the cany pari or ine coming week. Not Adapted to Certain Wards. "It is & good thing that the election law passed by the last Legislature does not ap ply to the coming city election," said City Attorney Taylor yesterday. "Otherwise we should be hurried a good deal to get ready for it The names of all the candi dates of each party which got 1 per cent, of the vote at the preceding election being required to be printed on all the tickets, each ticket will look like a remonstrance against . a small-pox hospital, or a coupon excursion rate around the world, with stop-overs for each 6tation. lhe voter being supplied with one of these wall-paper documents "will be conducted to a private apartment and left to -coninmuo with himself and a rubber stamp, with which he is expected to make a dab opposite the name or each candidate he votes for. If he spoils the tick et he can get another one, as the tickets are to be printed by the Mate, ana expense is no object. If he cannot read the ticket. a clerk will be detailed to decipher it for him, and every attention will be paid to him uutil ho gets through with the job. The idea is a good one. but if we had to carry it out in city elections, it would go muo slow in certain warns." Murphy Unwise Experiment, . Policeman Mefford, driver of tho patrolwagon, was tenderly nursing a badly battered nose all day yesterday. During the imall hours of Sunday morning Mike Murphy was arrested on a charge of fast driving, and took a free ride to the police station with MefTord as his custodian. When on Washington street Mnrpby reolvd to strike for liberty.nud accordingly hit the officer on th a nose. The effort and -the blow made by the prisoner proved

futile, for the officer, in retaliating, grabbed hold of Murphy, and for a time the quiet of the night was broken by the dull thnd of the facer's lists as they visitod. in quick

succession, different portions or .ai ike's anatomy, and the prolonged howls of the latter for mercy. Slurpby is now lodged behind the cells, with a big head, caused both by liquor and castigation. PROVIDING FOR FAVORITES. Statutory Law Which Escaped the Attention of Trustees Cullen and Riley. The trustees of the Institute for the Blind, who live in Indianapolis and are controlled by its politics, will not overturn six years of good management at that institution without exciting some opposition. Trustee Cullen has already heard some thunder, and there is more to follow. In an interview in Saturday's News he says, among other things, The manner in which emplo3res of the institution are eelected, is by nomination of the superintendent and election by tho trustees. As an example of the freedom of the board from any desire to "favor political friends. I may state that we have left the appoint ment of the men about the place, such as engineers, gardeners, etc., entirely in the hands of the superintendent, as he can judge better of the fitness of the men em ployed." The trustees of such a place," said a gen tleman who is well acquainted with the institute, "should be men of the standing of President J. H. Smart, President David Jordan, President Stott, of Franklin Col lege men of high culture and with souls above political small beer. That's a most astomsmug ntatement of trustee Uulien to say that Professor Jacobs is competent to iudgo of the capacity of the gardener anu engineer, out. not mo puysiciuu auu teachers, who aro of much greater impor tance. 1 take it that Professor Jacobs Su perintendent Jacobs. I mean is better fit ted to employ the physician and teachers than these men who know nothing of educational matters." This gentleman called the reporter's attention to the law on the subject. "Why." said he, this whole dif ficulty is a controversy between the superintendent and the trustees, arising from an attempt on the part of the trustees to violate the law. The superintendent should stand on his rights, and he cannot aftord to compromise himself or the institution bv uoing oinerwise." JI - A I ,, Section 2774. Revised Statutes, reads: "The superintendent, with the approval of the board, may appoint bucu subordinate officers, secretaries, assistants, physicians, barbeis. attendants and emDloves as mav bo necessary, iiutthe board shall prescribe the number to be employed aud provide rules for their government and control and lix the amount of compensation for their services." There is nothing in the statute," continued tho gentleman, that gives the trus tees the right to make tho anDointments. Probably Trustee Cullen has never read the statute, lie appears to think that tho trustees have both the selection and election of the physicians and others, and all that is left for the superintendent is to snbmit. lhat may be the way to treat bellboys and porters, but not a superintendent. protected hy law." Another sentence, or two, from the statute reads: "Iho super1 Tl tTwl t. Tn n r fnr crnnA no ilea discharge any of such subordinates and employes, and appoint other competent T-rsous in their places, which appointment shall continuo only until tho next meeting of the board, at which time the superintendent shall report all such changes and the cause thereior. and the board mav confirm such appointment, and if not con firmed he 6hall make other suitable appointments, subject to tho affirmation of said board." T should think," continued the gentle man, "that ought to be sufficiently plain for Trustees Cullen and Rile', if thoy will read it. I understand that Superintendent Wright, at the Hospital for the Insane, has read that section to his trustees, and has no trouble with them at all. I he boards of none of these benevolent institutions have the power, under any circumstances, to remove an officer or imtko an appointment." Trustee Cullen. in his interview, said. concerning ur. stone, "i suppose be is a physician of ability, bnt he makes no specialty of treating diseases of the eve. We felt it necessary that a doctor should be employed there who has given especial attention to the eye. Many of the pupils are not wholly blind, ana in somo cases tneir eyes are capable oi improvement by proper care. I nroiosed Dr. Frank Morrinoii lor the Tnxition because he was highly recommended by the leading physicians of the city." The reporter, on inquiry, learned there are very lew cases at tne institution, at any time, requiring the care of an oculist, and that these few prefer to select their own nhvsician. Some pf these have been treated bv Dr. Thompson, others by Dr. Stillson. anil others have gone to Cincinnati before com ing here or during their stay here. The expense of such treatment is naid bv Barents. or friends, or by counties. There are too - a. m - it i many contingencies tor aiincnit or dangerous cases to be undertaken in the institu tion, and none such are there. There are not more than half a dozen children in the institution at any time whose eves might bo benefited by treatment, and each one of these half dozen is at liberty to select his own physician. Dr. Stone is called in as a general physician for the complaints that are incident to everbody, what is called family practice. He does not live in the institution, but docs live near by. There are often times when, for four or five days together, there is no call for him. It is understood that Hon. J. B. Stoll, of South Dend, is to return in a few days, and when he does he will probably read tho riot act to the Indianapolis contingent. In tho meantime it may be that Prof. Jacobs will get tired, and the institution will have to look out for another superintendent. AFFAIRS OF THE CHURCHES. Special Services for Young People at the Filth Presbyterian. At the Fifth Presbyterian Church, yester day, the exercises were of special character. being directed to the interests of young people. In the evening the pastor, the Rev. O. O. Mitchell, preached on TIow to Make Home Happy." lie took for his text the eighteenth verso of the eighth chapter of Luke, and spoke to a large audience. Next Sunday evening Mr. Mitchell will begin a series of sermons on "The Prodigal Son." Wednesday evening there will be nn enter tainment at the church for the benefit of the building fund. It will consist of stereopticon views and musical selections. Not Very Encouraging. Thursday evening last was set as the time for holding a meeting at one of tho central churches to consider the interests of foreign missions. There .were six persons present out of a membership of more than live hundred. After praver one of the elders made a few remarks, in which he suggested that for the present they drop foreign missions and turn their attention a little to home-mission work. From the at tendance he thought that efforts in that direction were the most needed. Preaching to the Governor' Guards. The Governor's Guards, to the number of thirty-six, attended service at the Southstreet Baptist Church yesterday morning. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Whitney. The tenor of the ilisconrse was to tho etlectthat no man could be a good soldier of this or any government without his being patriotic, and in favor of that government. Church to Be Improved. The trustee of the First Baptist Church have decided to expend $10,000 in remodeling the church. They have abandoned the idea of selling it and locating further north. Somo 6,000 of the sum needed for the improvement has already been subscribed, three of the members contributing $1,000 each.- . Too Cold for Swimming. This season has not been much good," 6aid swimming master Schissel at the canal natatorium yesterday. Tt has been too cold most of the time to make it an object to bathers to come hero for a swim. A few boys in the afternoons are about the only regular visitors I have had this summer."

The St. Louis-Brook lyn game was not played to-day, the. St. Louis club absenting themselves. The umpire gavo tho game to the Brooklyn s. Tho St. Louis club refused to play on account of the umpire's decision in refusing to call yes terday's game on account of darkness. C. H. Byrne, manager of the Brooklyn team, was highly indignant at the action of J the St. Louis club, and will do everything in his power to make the Westerm chainDions sutler dearly. Von der Aho has no right to set himself up as jiidgo and jury in this case,; said Mr. Bryue to-night. "His team is liable to expulsion. A special meeting of the Association will be held in a d$$5 or two, and then thematter will be setr tied. At 11 p. m. on Saturday,' Mr. Bryne received tho following telegram: C. H. Bryue, President Brooklyn B. 15. Club: I refuse to allow my club to play any more games m urooKiyn. cuius. on dek auk. On receipt of this telegram Mr Byrne immediately wired to President WykolF, at Columbus, as follows: . Von der Abe refuses to allow his club to play in Brooklyn. Please notify htm that if he fail to play games as scheduled lie subjects himself to expulsion. We have a tribunal to which he cau appeal if any Injustice has been done him. Telegraph him to Grand Central Hotel, Hew York city. Mr. Von der Ahe. president of the St. Louis club, was seen to-night, and said that he had good reasons for not taking his team to Ridgewood Park. He said he un derstood the rulings in the case perfectly. and was willing to abide by tho decision of ine Association. . lie seems to minx mat ne has been unjustly treated, not only, in Brooklyn, but in other- cities, and he pro poses to make a test case of it. If with their police arrangements at Washington Park on Saturday they could not protect us, -. how would they do it at Ridsrewood without police? 1 was stoned at Ridgewood last year, and I don't want any more of it. My players told me last niuht that they would not goto Rideewood fur $1,000 each. They were afraid of their lives, lhe crowd assaulted McCarthy, Robinson and Comiskey on Saturday, and things looked dangerons for me at one time.

The New Yorks, after a brilliant showing for several dajrs, seem to have dropped into the same old rut. They are doing eonio fine work in the way of sacrifice hit ting, but the visitors did just as well. The home team made more hits than did tho visitors, but they wero of no value. There were a number of points in the game where a hit would have turned the tide, but the hit did not come. Denny and Glasscock played a brilliant game of ball, while Andrews, the player who was not good enough for the Philadelphia and Now York teams, nlayed n phenomenal game. In the last inning he captured a lontr skv-scraner at the foot of the embankment at right center field. If it had got away from him it would have tied the score, as Core, who was on tho bases, would have scored. He made two or three other catches of like nature that went far toward holding down the New Yorks' runs. There were no features in the New Yorks play, which was mainly of the marhiue order. Captain Glasscock made a longheaded move in the third inning by taking ueir-ein out or ine box. and putting in Boyle. The champions had just begun to hit the pretzel pitcher, and had he stayed in the game he would nc doubt have fared badly. Fine Exhibition of Skill. Boston Herald Editorial. As was expected, the Boston Base-ball Club had its period of bad lnck while the Indianapolis players were here. There, has never been a finer exhibition of skill on the 'Boston ground than that which was given by this Indianapolis club in the first three days of the we'ek. Those who missed it missed seeing base-ball in its most brilliant aud exciting aspect. This playing of the Indianapolis men was far superior to anything the New Yorks have given in Boston, and if tbo Indianapolis do not beat tho New Yorks also, it will be strange indeed. They have brought the Bostou uncomfortably near for safety' to the New York club; but this loss to'us has rendered the games to be played still more exciting and more important in their results. It can -hardly huvo escaped observation that the Chicago

Hartford City, Sept 8. At the game of ball, in this city to-day, between the Mnncie and Hartford City clnbs, the Muncie team forfeited the game in the ninth inning. The game stood 9 to 9, when Maddox, of the home team, made a two-bagger, and was adjudged out. The eight hundred spectators hooted at the decision, and the second baseman admitted that he had not touched Maddox with the ball. Robert Winters, theMuncie umpire, then admitted that his decision was wrong, but would not change it. The Muncie team quit the giounu amid me woo is oi me crowu, auu thus forfeited the game.

The Blake Streets and Western Stars played yesterday, tho former winning by a score of 10 to 7. The Clevelands have been recular Jonahs to the Washingtons. They have won twelve out of fourteen games from that club. The Eclinses defeated the Irish-hill Shamrocks yesterday morning by a score of 23 to 10. .

Pitcher Staeg. of the Y'alee, is to pitch for the Orange Athletic Club tins month. The club is last in the New lork Amateur League, and has won three games out of seventeen. The Philadelphia Inquirer says that the Philadelphia club is worse oil than the Boatons for pitchers. Tho complaint is still made.that the club lacks a man like Irwin to captain the nine. New York Times: President Brush, of the Indianapolis club, said t hat nooffer.ho we ver large, would bo considered for tho sale of the Indianapolis franchise. He says that he sees no reason for selling. There have been six tie games, and, sin gularly, five of them were in the four series finished Saturday. The pitchers who have played in the tie games are as follows: Clarkson (2), Crane (2), O'Brien (2), Sanders, Keefo and O'Pay,- Washington; Sowdefs, Pittsburg; Tener and Getzoin.ona each. Murphy, of the Syracuso Stars, pitched in forty two games and won twenty-six; ivnauss, of the Uetroits, won tweuty-tnreo out of thirty-two: Shrove, seventeen out of twenty-four; Keefe, of Rochester, twenty out of thirty-one; Barr, twenty-seven out of forty-two; Titcomb, thirteen out of twenty-hve. An Observer. Noblesville It is' a diffi cult matter to answer your question because the point in dispute- is one that can not be decided without knowing the exact circumstances. If there, was a man on second or third and he. crossed the plate beforo the batter was put out after overrnnninz first base.no matter whether the latter was on lair cr loul ground, the run scores. Bostou Herald: Earlier in the race, when the club put in Radbourno to pitch, although ho was so lamo that he was totally unfit to fill the position, attention was called to the need of another strong pitch er. That need has not yet been filled, and the club is as weak as it was then in a po sition which should be strong. If the IJoston club fails to win the championship, it will be because it has allowed bad matters to go when they coujd have been remedied. AN EVENING VITU SPIRITS. Prof. Yan Horn Uses Mediumistic Powers for the Entertainment of a Large Audience. . It is said that four-fifths of the believers in spiritualism are women. Certain it is that the fair sex predominated in about that proportion at the meeting of spiritualists held last night at Mansur's Hall. The mediums, as heretofore, occupied the part of the room nearest the stage, and more bright and snappy-eyed women aTe seldom got together anywhere. The reporter noticed two or three colored persons in tho ropmr -VWell, I declare that is strange said . . a good-looking : little . jady near by; "that beats tne. Those are the first 1 ever saw in a spirit meeting, for they are dreadfully afraid of spooks, as every body knows." President Ralston called the audience to order. The room was crowded, and there was a scarcity of chairs. ..Bear in mind," said the president, "that it is utterly impossible to give tests unless wo nave liannonj. won't become too anxious, and you will get better demonstrations." The "Sweet By and By" was then sung, and Professor Van Horn, of New York. spoke. Tho Professor is not quite clear as a lecturer. Probably if his language was allowed to stand and the ambiguous and occult elements to settle at the bottom and the top liqnor be carefully decanted something might be mado of it. His demonstrations as a clairvoyant and clairandient medium, howevexatoncd for hie foggincss as a speaker. As ue stepped irom tho platform and begin looking for spirit forms, and .hoarkenmc for spirit voices, he re marked: "We see a trrcat many people of the church hero to-nigh;. If their minis ters knew anything about it, it would be terrible." An elderly gentleman, in a con tiding whisper, here informed- the reporter mat una woniu ue ins lasi visir, as nis minister would bo home next Sunday. "I hear." said tho Professor, "the name of Holler H-o-f-f-e-r. Is that your name!" pointing toward a man near a window. He acknowledged that it was. "You have a daughter who is a line medium, and a son. Yes. Do you know John Holler?" Tho man shoolc his head. "You know Henry?" He nodded. "John," continued the Proles sor, "isa distaut relative of your father. He savs he has been in the spirit land fiftythree years. He was in the army as a sol1 .1 A 1 oier.

"You have a spirit called &uver Leaf, an Indian," said tho Professor, turning to a lady. "He says you have been trying to in vestigate a claim, a matter in litigation, is that sor i es, sir." t "Do you know Mary Folsett, I hear the name near von." turning td another lady. "My husband's mother," was the answer; "my mother-in-law." This caused a titter in the audience, whereat the Professor looked very stern. "Somebody over in that group there has trouble with a shoulder a right shoulder it catches her as she raises her hand. It's that lady there. Hold the arm up mentaliy." ile then rubbed nis own arm briskly. and aid: "loo don't teel it nowr" No. sir: the pain is gone." "I want to take you by the hand. Now yon feel a peculiar sensation." "Yes. sir." "What is magnetism? Now you feel it in your feet I" "Yes, sir." Then ho waved his hand about her. "Yon havo two ladies who oppose y on in your own house,1' he said, indicating a person back in the audience. Every woman in the house craned her neck to see this individual. "But they don't do it intentionally. Your brotherwent from you when VPTV rnnn -r lint hi i:rit lim f nf !i-wr1 ttii here to-night." The Professor vainly tried to have somebody acknowledge the wandering spirits of Stevenson, Albert Dudley and Carrie Johnson. v Then he gavo tho name of Mav Howard.

"Correct, came a voice in the audience. "She says," said the Professor, "good will to you to the final end." "She was my daughter." was the answer. "I see," said the clairaudient, looking fixedly at a pleasant-faced old lady, "a spirit form near you.
