MATTERS THEY CONSIDERED

Commercial Club Directors near Good Reports from Active Committees, Assistance to Be Given the Jlay Festival An Address to Council Concerning Streets to lie Kepaired Board of Trade, Tho regular monthly meotins of tho directors of the Commercial Club hold yesterday afternoon was well atteuded. Among tho lirst things brought beforo them was the claim of the May Musical Festival, John II. Holliday speaking on behalf of the management of that association. He stated that the enterprise was now in such shape that it was thought the club conld give material aid in pushing it forward. Hebolievd the matter was entitled to the support of tho club, as it was of benefit to the city aud served to attract people here. Mr. Holliday further said that while a guarantee fund protected the festival from possible failure, it was deemed important to its perpetuation that this fund should not bo drawn upon, and that no deficit should occur to be made good by tho guarantors. The assistance asked from the club was that it tako charge of an option salo of scats, which, it was thought, iuai uouy could manage more successfully than auy other in the city. Tho request was well received, the only objection raised being that, whilo the pro ject deserved all possible aid, it might es tablish a precedent on tho part of tho club to which it could not adhere. After fur-' tber discussion, howovcr, it was decided that tho proposed action was properly within the scope of tho club's functions, and, on motiou of Mr. Mason, it was or dered that a committee of tifty members of the club, to manage tho proposed sale, be appointed. President Lillv annointed as a sncci&l committee to devise plans tor an improved fcowerage system Charlen i. Fletcher, chairman; Dr. Charles E. Wright and Geo. W. Bender, Koports from several special committees were next considered. Charles E. Collin, chairman of the committee to investigate the condition of the countv jail, reported satisfactory progress, and stated that though time would be required to accomplish the work undertaken, it was .thought that before a areat while a report of striking interest would be ready for submission. An encouraging report was made by Col. Oran Perry, in regard to the conferenco with the stieet-railroad company, touching its proposed participation in the cost of street improvements. Tho committee which had been previously appointed to anitato the purcliaso of the gravel roads of the county reported that the submission of the question to the people at Mouday's election was the result of the agitation, and as a cousequenco the election returns were cited. Tho committee on press aud printing reported that its first meeting had been held Monday last, and that much important work had been outlined. Tho committee also suggested to the directors additional important matters which could be considered by it with possibly good results. As one of these proposed steps it was suggested that an auxiliary press committee, to be composed of members of the city department of local papers, bo created. Such action was asked that the representatives of tho press might be brought into a fuller and clearer understanding of the various branches of tho work iu progress, that matters of interest and importance to the city's welfare might thus be fully treated, and that the newspaper men mii?ht havo better ouoortunity to submit suggestions . for the club's consideration. Tho proposed anxiliarv committee, it was believed, would be fully as important and benelicial as tho regular press committee. Tho snjrecstions were adopted and tho t committee appointed. It consists of W. A. Wilkins. of the Journal; S. V. Collins, of thn Sentinel J. P. Hornady, of tho News;' Fred L. Purely, of the Sun; Charles 13. Foster, of the lloosier, and G. li. Willey, of tho Trade Journal. Several matters of interest will be at onco referred to the new coniraitttw anion? others, the movement for the early completion of tho soldiers' and sailors' monument. ColonehPerry, of tho committee on city interests, bronht up the matter of inducing the surrounding suburbs to become a part 6t the city before tho census enumeration, aud a sub-committee, consisting of John J. Cooper and F. H. Dlackledgo, was appointed to visit tho various town corporations concerned and confer with tnoir officials ou the subject. Colonel Perry also reported a proposed ordinance, similar to ono in force at Richmond, requiring the planting and providing for tho protection of shade trees. Ho thought the matter had been too long neglected, and should be attended to at onco. Tho suggestions aud report were approved, and the ordinance was - referred to the Council, where it will shortly bo introduced. Tho Colonel further reported that he had opened correspondence with a number of cities, with aviow to obtaining copies of ordinances for street-cleaning, that preparations might be perfected for extensive work in that lino, in addition to tho ordinance passed to compel tho cleaning of the asphalt streets. A letter to the Council about streetimprovement ordinances was read and approved. It asked that the passage of the ordinance providing for the improvement of certain streets be delayed, that the information afforded by the street-paving exposition might be utilized, and suggested plans for tho creation of a greater competition among street-paving companies, both as to prices and jystems of paving. The letter will be signed by the president of the club and submitted to the Council at its next nieoting. Tho club will meet next Monday evening, when a general discussion relativo to street-paving, in a line of information obtained from tho exhibition, will tako place. . Tax on Mexican Silver Ore. President Tanner, of tho Board of Trade, received, yesterday, a telegram statins that the w vvs and means committee of Congress had recommended a tax on tho Mexican silver-lead ores, and asking that action in opposition to the proposed tax bo taken by the Board of Trade here. These ores," said tho sender of tho telegram, "are the only articles of valuo that country can send us in exchange for our manufactures and agricultural products, and form tho basis of a reciprocity treaty. The tax. if levied, will defeat this proposed treaty. Our manufacturing industries will be affected by the retaliation of the Mexican government, which will surely follow snch action by our government." A meeting for conference on the subject will be held at tho Hoard of' Trade at noon to-day, and all manufacturers and others interested in the matter aro requested to be prosent. Manufacturers outsido of the city aro also asked to communicate with the Board of Trade on the subject, and their views will be forwarded to Washington. Shooting at Illue Hocks. The Capital City Gun Club ,had another sweepstakes shoot at Brighton Beach yesterday afternoon. Thcro wero three matches, all at blue rocks. The lirst was at 10, and Beck took lirst money, breaking P; Bolster second, with 7, while Littleton and Anson each broke The second was at 15 blue rocks, Anson capturing lirst monoy, with 14. Polster and Parsons dividing second, with 13. Beck broke 10 straight in the third match, which was at 10 blue-rocks. Parsons taking second money with 0. Polster broke S. Anson 7. and Littleton C. In a practice shoot at 'Si livo pigeons Beck killed 21. Tho match between Polster and Allen for $50 a side was postponed. Jin Changes to 1) Made. Yes. I havo read the editorial in yesterday's Journal," said Mr. Langsdale, of the Soldiers Monument Commission, yesterday, "stating that rumors are current that changes havo been made, or are on tho point of being made, in tho original plan, and which will permanently mar, if not destroy, its artistic harmony and effect. This isaltosether erroneous. Tho commission has taknuo action making changes

in the original plan, and no commissioner contemplates anything of the kind, as far as I know. Wo nave followed the plans of architect Schmitz strictly. Our ambition has been to build a structure complete in all its parts, architecturally and artistically, and so thoroughly well done as to meet the most exacting demands of those qualified to iudgo, nnu which, when it is finished, will be the pride of every Indian-, ran. In saying this, 1 am sure that I rellect tho sentiments of every member of tho tho board." i THE LOTAL LIGIOX. After the Commandery's Business Session It Is Told About Hcod's Nashville Campaign. At the regular-monthly meeting of tho Indiana Commandery, Loyal Legion, last, night, General McGinnis, in the absence of Gen. Low Wallace, presided. Tho first thing done was the appointment of Col. Eli Lilly, Col Z. A. Smith and Rev. Dr. Haines as a committee to arrange for a celebration of the Fourth of July. It is the intention to havo an orator of distinction, not of this city or State, deliver an address upon that occasion in some public place. Tho oration will bo followed by a social and business meeting of the commandery. Messrs. Harry C. Adams, Horace McKay and S. K. Fletcher were appointed a committee to arrange

for the Mav meeting to which the mem bers may bring, their' ladies and friends. Tho annual election will also taKo place at that time. The following candidates wero elected last evening to membership: Mahlon D. Manson, late brifcadier-general United States Volunteers, Crawfordsvllle. V.' Will Dougherty, late flrst lieutenant and adjutant Indiana Volunteer infantry, now an onicer or the United States army. John Milton Paver, late lirst lieutenant Fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Indianapolis. Jehu Jones Palmer, lato brevet major United 6tatcs Volunteers, Helena, Mont. James W. Harris, lato lieutenant Second Indlaua Volunteer Cavalry, Kulghtstowu, Ind. Captain John E. Cleland then read a paper on "Hood's Campaign," which riveted the attention of the hearers from lirst to last and was heartily applauded at its close. It concluded with the battle of Nashville, of which the writer said: "Hood's lines extended from Nolinsville piko across tho Granny White piko aud the Franklin pike, southwestlv to the hills, south and west of the Hillsboro piko. but with his left reposed along that road. , Cheatham's corps was on his right, Stephen Lee'a in the center and Stewart's on the left, his salient on Montgomery hill, about eight hundred yards in front of the Union lines. General Thomas's strategy, was to induce tho belief in Hood that the. strongest attack was to bo made on the rebel right. Early in the morning of tho 15th Steedraan moved out through the dense fog, and the ball was opened by a brigade of colored troops, in command of Colonel Morgan, the present Commissioner of Indian allairs. The tire became general up tho liner and as the fog cleared away tho great gnus in Fort Negley oddt d dignity to the occasion, and Hood found himself, lor the first timo in one hundred days, on tho defensive. Hearts beat high with hope, or Bunk with fear In Nashville, and people lined tho housetops to see tho mighty game. .All day the wind of battle blew, and night found our flag far out from tho city, with Hood still further away on the Brentwood hills, more anxious to save his army, than to win a victory. Tho .un;, easiness at the North subsided and turned to joy: tho impatience at Washington abated. Tho wires now boro messages of congratulation aud praise to Thomas instead of entreaty and commaud. There had been no unoasiness," contin ued the spe.ikcr, "in the army, and it bivouacked that night in the cold and mud, with the serene assurance that ou the coming day it would demolish that gallant rebel army that had fought so bravely at Donelson and Shlloh, aul'erryville and Stone Biver, at Chickamauga aud Mission Kidgo, at Kesaca and New Hope Church, at Kenesaw and Peach Treo Creek, at Atlanta aud Joncsboro, at Allatoona and Franklin. All nitrht Hood fortified on Overton Hill, with his Hanks protecting his two lines of retreat by the Granny Whito and Franklin pikes. His artillery was massed at tho most effective points, his lino about half as long as on tho day before. His Hanks wero stronger than his center, but if Thomas could turn either, or both, it promised hotter results in shutting off the lino of retreat , to Franklin. All the morning tho battle went with varying fortune. lii the afternoon our artillery poured a converging lire on the rebel batteries, and tho practice was magnificent. The cunners seemed to put their shot and shell just whore they wanted them with as much accuracy as though they had carried them over by hand. At 4 o'clock, with a resistless sweep, the whole line charged up tho hill, and tho enemy was ronted from every position, demoralized, broken, crushed. Iho wounded.wero loft to care for themselves, and the dead, to bury their dead. That green slope, tho long line of blue pushing up the hillside, the waving banners, the roar and rattle, the smoke slowly drifting up. through tho leafless trees, tho loud cheers of the victors aud tho hurried flight of the vanquished into tho vallev on the other side made a grand and wonderful transformation scene. . . "Besides Hood's killed and wounded, and those who quietly went to their homes and forgot to return, there were over 13,000 prisoners, including seven generals, sixteen colonels and ollicers of lower rank by hun dreds, two thousand formal deserters, scventv-two guns, seventy stands of colors, etc. The loss pf life to tho victors was comparatively light, owing to the splendid strategy and tactical combinations of the commanding ceneral. It has been said that it was the only case where an army was totally destroyed in the field. It seems eminently proper that a committee should name Nashville as one of the greatest battles of the war." Col. J. B. Black read the conclusion of his paperon"Sheridan and His Campaigns." tho first part ot which had been read at a, nrovious meeting. After somo time spent fu social conversation the meeting adjourned. . A List of Disappearances. Yesterday appeared to be a day of disap-j pcaranccs. Sara Taylor, twenty-four years old, it was reported, had left his homo three miles west of Mount Jackson, Monday ' night, to come to this city, but did not reach here, and had not since been heard of.; Ho has dark hair and a light-brown mus-i tacho, is livo fcot nino inches in height' and weighs 1G5 or. 140 pounds.. The police wero also asked to scare!' for John . Henderson, a child; four ytars of age, who disappeared from the co-ner of Washington and New Jersey streets. Bernhardt Harbele, three years old, was reported missing from No. 475 South New Jersey street, while another child of the samo ago disappeared from No. 175 West New York street. A man who represented that he lived at No. 88 Maple street hired a horse and buggy from Booth's livery stable, Monday afternoon, agreeing to return it at 5 o'clock the same day. but has not since been heard of at the stable. Firemen's ltellef Fund. The cash that has been received by Treasurer Han ghey for the firemen's relief fund amounts in all to $45,540.20. Yesterday tho following sums wero paid into the fund: Geo. Fink. Medina, Mo $ 2.00 Kveuin: yews. 151.10 Cash, per Chief Doucherty 5.00 l'enrl of Savoy" entertainment, add'l.. D.50 B. A. Davis, Maplcwooil, J 5.00 If. J. Million).... ..X... 20.00 F.

The general committee will meet eoon. and tako action regarding tho use of the fund. . Gone to Toronto. Grim an J. Newman left for Toronto; last night, to join their club for tho International Association season. Both catchers are in excellent condition, and will help Toronto greatly in the light fiho promises to make against Detroit for tho pennant. . m llegalnlng Strength. Samuel Neall, tho fireman most seriously injured of the survivors of the liqwen-Mer-rill lire, was on tho streets yesterday, and is rapidly regaining his strength and health.

An Immense Shipment. That was a bcantifnl sight on Monday. April 7, on the Lake Erie fc Western railroad, between Rochester and Indianapolis a freight train, consisting of thirty cars, loaded down with Peering biuders and mowers, drawn by two engines. The cars were decorated with bunting and flags, and each car bearing tho inscription. "Heering Binders and Mowers." Crowds had gathered at stations along tho entire route to view tho passing pageant, and was the seusation of the season in railroad circles. To couccive of tho magnitude of the affair it must bo remembered that each car will contain sixteen binders or forty mowers. The train was met at the Belt railroad in this city by reporters of the press, and also by Messrs. Marceau & -Powers, the wellknown photographers, who photographed tho train, all of whom were under escort of Mr. J. S. Buck, general agent, located in thiscityy Indianapolis is made the grand distributing point for this great multitude of farm machinery to the many hundreds of purchasers scattered over tho country. Marvellous! is the only word that can describe the success of tho Deering Twine Binder and Mower, and is an apt illustration of the trito and truthful expression, the "Survival of tho fittest," it having passed all other machines, until now no competitor can compare in excellence, and the Deering's superiority is generally acknowledged. The shipment of a solid train of Deering machines to Indianapolis is an unmistakable evidence of their popularity, and indicates that the Deering company is enjoying an increased trade of their machines in this State. .
