THE BOOKS BECKTOLD MADE

What the Committee of Commissioners Did in Considering tlie Complaint?. The School-Book Company Borrowed Nearly a Hundred Tolomes from Captain Manj A Box with a Tightly Sailed Lid. The sub-committee appointed by the State Board of Text-book Commissioners to n. vestigate complaints concerning th "books furnished by the Indiana School-book Publishing Company began its -rork at the Bates House yesterday rooming. Commissioner Parsona was nairman of the committee, and COinmissioners WTiley and Layne were tfc other investigators. Gov. Hovey camjj in shortly after the business was begun, and expressed the opinion that the committee was a waste of raw material, as the testimony before it wonld not be admissible in court. Chairman Parsons held that the observations of the members of the committee would be admissible as individual testimony. The complaint fromPatoka township. Gibson county, was then taken up and the defective books sent in examined. Edward Hawkins, who appeared for the publishing company, thought the rough and eczenia-liko appearance of tho surface of the fifth readers was caused by their beinz kept too long or too short a period in the press, but just which he was not prepared to say. Some of tho yolumes were badly blistered, and looked like the front door of a country parsonage at tho end of a heated term. In one of the books from Jefferson county there were no dots over the "i's," the printer having apparently run out of those useful marks, and trusted to fly specks to repair the deficiency. Defective words were of frequent occurrence in the volumes, and m less than the first quarter of the elementary geography one hupured of them were found, fhe binding wa8 hkewise defective, tho heajy einforcemcnt of leather in the staiyaard sample being oniitted . .o many of the volumes sent in. jir Hawkins said the books Vreall bound in larboard, according to contract, but Clerk Boo&walter, of th6 State Bureau of Printing and Stationery, testified that they were bcund in strawboard, and that the paper on which the text was printed was of an inferior quality, and cost at least 2 cents a pound less than the paper used in the sample on which the contract was awarded. Other differences were pointed out, and the fact that the company had omitted to use tapes in connection with wire in binding was observed, the omission eausing the book.when opened wide, to part company with its back, the ire cutting through tho inferior paper, and the leaves tumbling out of the cover. Conimissioner "Wiley said the charges from Jefferson eonnty were broad ones, and wanted to take thetn up carefully, referring particularly to the letter accompanying the defective books returned from that county, but Commissioner Layne. who had been shaking hands vebemently with Mr. Hawkins, was in a hurry and wanted to get through, and ultimately the Jefferson county complaint was passed over without further examination, and the Counersville controversy was taken np. Here a very singular state of facts was developed. The books sent by the Indiana School-hook Company to the Connersville school board, 960 in number, were reiected by the board as imperfect and unfit for use. I hey remained in Connersville subject j the order of the publishing company, and woen the question of their fitness came before the full board of commiss'oners, last Wednesday, Mr. Hawkins 'offered to have them sent back here for the inspection of the sub-committee. His offer wa accepted with the understanding that the books were to x bo sent direct to the ofiice of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction at the Statehouse. The books arrived "by express yesterday morning, directed to "Harvey M.'LaFoliette, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Indianapolis, Ind,;' but instead ot being delivered at the office of that gentleman, were taken by some mysterious arrangement to the office of the publishing company. v netner they were found, when they arrived there, to be of a character not likely to commend them to tho indulgence of the commissioners cimtiot be ascertained, but it is certain that shortly alter their arrival an emissary of tho company rushed into tho office of Captain Many, township trustee, ou East Washington street, and borrowed a largo portion of tho Becktold literature which Uie Captain had on hand for distribution, and which, owing to tho Captain's watchfulness, was a good deal better in its mechanical execution than the volumes sent out by the company for rural consumption. It would be a cruel assumption to assume that the volumes borrowed from the Captain's office were arranged as a top layer in the Connersville box, precisely as a top row of Rineoth-looking cigars is laid on top of a collection of "Prides of tho Pest-house," but when the committee arrived there was the Connersvillo box, with a piece of the lid broken off, as though extreme haste had been used in its manipulation. Tho employe of tho company who opened the box for tho committee had great apparent diflicnlty in the perfoimance, and Mr. Hawkins had 6omo remarks to make about thn extreme tightness with which Connersville people nailed up things, but when the herculean eftorta of the employe were auecesssul and the lid was entirely removed, there on the top of tho pile lay an assortment of apparently good books. Tho examination was brief and confined to a few books, none of which were taken, it is 6aid, from tho middle of the box. A Journal reporter who called upon Capt. Many last evening found that gentleman at hts residence, and interrogated him as to the number and character of the books borrowed by tho Indiana School-book Company from his office yesterday. 'I cannot furnish exact information ou tho subject." said the Captain, "because 1 was at Irvington looking after some township matters most of the day. and did not learn of the transaction referred to until I returned to my office last evening. I cannot tell you even how many of the books I had on hand without looking up our accounts. I know I have made two requisitions, but just how many of the last lot I had on hand this morning I could not tell without looking over our own records. If you will seo Miss Emma Goeper, the clerk who has charge of such matters in my office,, she may be able to tell you the number loaned by ua." Miss Goeper was found at her home on Park avenue, and remembered fullv the loan of books to the Indiana School-book Company. "I waited on the gentleman who came for them," she said. "He came in this morning and said the Indiana School-book Company wanted to borrow some of our books, and I let him have what he wanted. I could not tell the exact number without looking at the memorandum I made at the time, but I know I gave him a full package of each kind he wanted, including elementary arithmetics, geographies, readers, etc., probably about seventy volumes in all." The remainder of the proceedings of the investigating committee may be brietiy told. Tho members of it returned to the Bates House, held a final consultation, and a little before 5 o'clock adjourned. The report thecommitteee approved without division and then submitted to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, was as follows: From Gibson county have been sent four copies ot the second rentier which are labeled a tirst Teasers; one fiftli reader having several loose leaves; one fifth reader with trie cover upside dovui: one complete arithmetic with several looe leave; on corupleto geograpby with several leave upside down. from Jefferson county have been f ent two elementary geographies bound with wire only, and not cith both wire and tape, &a is the sample on which tfco contract i based; tbe same geographies contain a considerable nnmberof errors iu the form of blurred words, omitted letters, etc.; one eeaientarj- arithmetic with four pages 05, la. 111 and 127numbered at tho bottom of the page; also, showing defective preas-woric oa pates 15S and 15'J. The committee have caused to be fent to them for examination all the books sblpid by the Indiana Hchool book Company to Connersville, lml.,anl hav found that, with one exception, the books are equal In all respects to tho samples on which the contra; t U baaed. Tho elpinent&ry geographies are bound -with wire only, and not with both "wire and tape, as the contract requires. The cotnp.'itiv, through Its representative and t-ecretary, Kdward Hawkins, elate that the defects and errors m printing, binding, etc., are due alone to tho great lmto with which it ha been iteotHn.iry to print and bind the large number of books about 1100,000 sent out on requi

sitions of school official, and that the fnmpanv is endeavoring to comply strictly and In good faith with the terms of lt ccutract. 'ite company agrees and oilers to take back all defective books fmnd iu any of its shlpiaents. and to replace these with good copies, or to credit ou account r!1 books so returned. Tiie corapsny further agree? to see that hereafter all elementary geographies published by It and furnished oa requisitions sballbe bound with both wire and tape, as required by the contract. We are unable u ee, from the evidence now before us, that there Is any substantial violation by the company of its contract with the Board of School-book Coaiml.'sioners, and we. therefore, see no suflicient reason to call a special meeting of said board of commissioners to consider tike subject further at this time. The report was signed by William IT. Parsons. J. W. Layne and William H. Wiley, committee. SHREWD UNCLE ISAAC. He Is Wary, in Talking to Democratic Veteran Soldiers, of Committing Himself. The Koontz local adjunct of the National Democratic Veterans' Association held a meeting at the Hendricks club-room last night, to which only those were admitted who were able to give tho countersign (probably "Cleveland and vetoed pension bills'7) at the door. This, of course, barred out all representatives of tho press. A reporter of the Journal, however, was admitted to an ante-room after the business of the evening had been transacted. It happened that in the same room was exGovernor Gray, and, although the conversation that followed was immaterial as to a definite statement of fact, it was suggestive of the ex-Governor not being overjoyed with his share of the eveninga work. 'You addressed the Democratic Vetorans to-night?" asked the reporter by way of a starter, MYos,' I guess that's what yon would have called it.'r "Did you have any particular theme; 'Xone in particular," "No special line of thonghtr "No, not as I know of," As gleaned from several members of tho association who were present, it was ascertained that, although Uncle Isaac had been invited to address them on topics of interest to their organization, he had disregarded their wishes entirely, and went off into a discussion of tariff reform and the prospects of Democratic success in lsua. WHOLESALE TOBACCONISTS 'FAIL. Assignment of Holland Si Co., with Their Liabilities Largely in Excess of Assets.

Holland & Co., wholesale tobacconists, doing t business at No. 54 North Pennsylvania 6treet, made an assignment to Albert J. Bevcridgeyesterday afternoou. The liabilities will reach $14,000 or $15,000, of which $1,500 is on a preferred claim. Tho assets, including accounts and stocks, are roughly estimated at $7,000. The firm consisted of John H., Benjamin B. and Laura F. Holland, who have carried on the business for several years in this city. The cause of the failuro is attributable to bad debts and hnsiness depression. Mr. Beveridge was seen by a reporter last night, but he was uuable to make a definite statement concerning tho business of the firm. 'The figures 1 have given you on the liabilities and assets," ho paid, "are only upon a rough guess. Mr. Holland thinks the assets will reach $8,000, but from what I know 1 think they will not exceed $7,000." "Who holds the ptef erred claim of SLGOOn asked tho reporter. "I am not at liberty to give his name, no is tho guardian of an estate, and his claim is tho only ono that is preferred." "Is there any other cause for tho assignment except bad business?" "No; nothing but bad d. and bad business. I know there is a; i etty large discrepancy between the liabilities and the assets, but it can bereadily accounted for in the dull trade the firm has had, and its inability to meet its debts.' Mr. Beveridgo will tile his bond at once, and have an immediate appraisement and inventory of the stock. Board of Irado Notes. The Board of Trade railroad transportation committee, together with that on shipping, will hold a meeting to-night, to consider questions relative to the freight traffic. It is also tho purpose to consider suggestions as to a fair arrangement between shippers and receivers forthe prevention of unreasonable delay in holding freight cars. A communication to the Board of Trade calls attention to the favorable opportunity now presented for establishing a mill to spin and weave coarse linens. The writer of the letter is the inventorof a new processfor tho manufacture of flax into linen, and states that through its nse a great benefit will accrue to the farmers from tho additional crop of flax for both 6eed and fiber. To make a market, however, lie says a mill must be established, as there is no linen made in the United States. The matter will be brought before the board of governors at the next meeting. ' s The Mrennerchor Fair. The Mienncrchor fair is a pronounced success. There is a large attendance each evening, and tho booths aro liberally patronized. Yesterday afternoon there was a good attendance, and last night the hall was filled by tho pleasure-loving Germans and their friends. The afternoon concert by the Schellschmidt quartet was very enjoyable, and last night Zumpfe'a orchestra rendered a good programme. In addition to the instrumental numbers, tho Ma?nnerchor, Leiderkranz and Socialistic clubs gave some lino vocal music. The quartet will give a concert this afternoon, at 2 o'clock, and this evening Znmpfe's Orchestra, the Harngari and Msennerchor societies will furnish the music. The supper was largely patronized last night, and a fine menu will be prepared for this evening, from 6 till 0. Hallway Company Incorporated. Articles of incorporation were filed with the Secretary of State, yesterday, by tho Evansville, Newburg & Rockport Railroad Company. It has a capital stock of 100,000.

J; Wood. C. F. Hopkins and II. P. Cornick. A Uoone Connty Convict Pardoned. Wesley C. Holden, who was sentenced to the Prison North from Boone county in lSS3foraterm of sixteen years" imprisonment for criminal assault, was pardoned yesterday. Tho petitions contained the signatures of the judge before whom ho was tried and the attorney who prosecuted the case. It was shown that the offense was committed with the consent of tho party injured, then a minor. May Be Prosecuted. Dr. W. B. Clarke, sorao time since, addressed a communication to theStateBoard of Health, asking if traveling doctors, who go through the State and exercise their medical talents on the population, are not subject to the State statutes governing tho practice of medicine. The board yesterday decided that they were, and could be prosecuted for violations of tho State laws. Scottish Rite Entertainment An entertainment will be given at the rooms of the Scottish Rite this evening to members of th order and ladies accompanyiug them. A programme of choice features has been arranged, including dramatic representations and musical numbers. After it has been completed refreshments will be nerved. Oni: of the most valuable papers that baa rerentlv been given to tho religions public is that of Rev. Minot J. Savage, in The Arena of December. Tho able divine deals with "Agencies that aro Working a Revolution in Theology," and his treatment of the subject is at once strikingly brilliant aud well calculated to command the attention of every earnest thinker. The Arena will uever lack for readers, nor fail to find them in the upper grades of American thought, if it continues to give the public such work asU to bo found in its initial number.
