COLORED ODD-FELLOWSIIiP. ThoImpresiiTeExcercises Attending the Dedication of the Order's Xew Temple. The temple erected by tho Grand United Order of Odd-fellows, the colored branch of Odd-fellowship, was dedicated yesterday afternoon. The structure is a plain, large three-story brick on Indir.na avenue, between Michigan and North streets. It is the property of the three colored lodges of this city, Lincoln Union. O. P. Morton and Gerrit and was built at 11,000. exclusive of Smith lodges, a cost of the ground. which the lodgeshave owned f or Bomeyears. A considerable cart of the cost has been paid and as the Indianapolis membership of the order is more than five hundred the deferred payments will no doubt be promptly met. The building has three large halls for lodges besides rooms from which an income will be derived. The colored people are justly proud of their achievement, and several thousand of them attended the exercises yesterday. Tho street, for a square each way from the hall, was densely packed with them. The members of the several lodges marched, with the 'Brotherhood Band at their head, from their former Quarters to the new. Owing to tho number who desired to listen to the speeches, three rooms were utilized, and a speaker provided for each. Beuj. Thornton was master of ceremonies on the secondiloor hall, where the Kev. James A. Davis delivered the address. He was introduced to the audience as the "silver-tongued boy orator," being apparently qnite a young man. His discourse was a dignilicd and polished effort, the real hope and fact of the progress of his raco being his theme. The largo room above was packed, the audience being addressed by Elder Morton. Hit discourse was a review of the progress of the negro race in a little more than a Qnarter century of freedom, and the now building was frequently cited as an illustration. Some white folks, he said, were inclined to object to tho negro sitting with them in lodges,, but he praised God tho negro has the same things the white brother has. He exhorted his hearers to peace, unity and love in all their dealings in life. Still another audioncn was addressed by Kev. Benjamin Fern II on a subject pertinent to tho hour. The dedication proper betran at 4:30 o'clock, District Master It. A. 'Roberts presiding. The ritual of the order was carried out. interspersed with hymns. Grand Chaplain G. L. Jones, Vice Grand D. I). Wells. Noble Father X. F.Hill and Noble Grand Otto Glbbs participating in this service. Offerings of water, wheat and llowcrs were made, symbolizing puritv, industry and love. Tho Household of Knth assisted in theservices. at the closo of which the keys of the building were delivered to the district master by Noble Grand Gibbs. The event will bo further observed to-night, when an entertainment will be given in the large lodge-room. John James Cut la the Neck. John James and Henry Patten, both colored, engaged in aright last evening, resulting in James receiving severo punishment from his antagonist's fists. James is a brother-in-law of patrolman Spears, who was hastily summoned from roll-call on account of the right, and succeeded in arresting Patten on the corner of Fourth and Mississippi streets. The charge Against the prisoner is assault and battery. Ho says James provoked him past endurance before he struck him. Jarnes.it is said, has a stab In the neck, but confirms Patten's assertion that he Tattenl did not do the cutting. James evaded arrest, and conld not bo found at his usual places of resort. The patrolmen were totihedtobe ou the watch for him. Office desks at Wm. L. Elder's.

MANAGED FOR THEIR PARTY

Benevolent Institutions Subjected to Laws Democrats Will Xot Change. Several Instances of Extreme Partisanship and Favoritism In the Control of the Blind Asylum bjr Trustees Who Promised Reform. It Is not, and never has been, a purpose of the Democratic party to take the State benevolent institutions out of politics. The laws under which tho outrageous management of some of these institutions arose are still in ellect, the last Democratic Legislature not having the courage to change them. They are in force to-day, and the shocking conditions that culminated in scandal four years ago are liable to arise again. A gentleman in authority at the Institution for the Education of the Blind recently had a great deal to say about facts and possibilities in this connection. Said ho to a Journal reporter: "It is well known that the management of the Blind Asylum hitherto was not regarded as partisan. It seemed to be well conducted, and its management was free from adverse criticism. People were employed for their fitness for tho work and retained in place because they rendered efficient service, and the institution was fast becoming a model of its kind in this country; but the last Legislature elected John B. Stoll, Terrenco J. Cullen and J. B. Riley as trusteos of that Institution. From the time Cnllen and Kiley received their commissions as trustees, aud without waiting to learn anything about the working of the asylum, they commenced to interfere with its management, aud have continued to do so ever since, until there is a general feeling of unrest among faithful teachers and worthy employes; for no one is sure that his or her place will not be wanted. sooner or later, by some of their friends." "Can you cite an instance of where their acts have been detrimental to the institution?11 ho was asked. "They commenced their inroads upon the institution more than a year ago' was the reply, "by dismissing the physician. Dr. It. F. Stone, whoso ability is recognized by the medical profession in this county by the fact that 119 is now the president of the Marion County Medical Society. He had been connected with the asylum for six years, and had made a careful study of the disposition and physical condition of all the children; but his place was wanted for a friend of Mr. Cullen, and Dr. Stone had to go. He is an old soldier, and was then and is now, a member of the examining board for pensions, in Indianapolis. One of the G. A. K. posts of this district took up the mat ter and appointed a committee to ascertain the cause of Dr. Stone's dismissal. They wcro led to think that there were strong indications that Dr. Wright, of the Insane Hospital, .for personal reasons, was meddling in the matter, and that he was working through Cullcn. The next act of those trustees was the dismissal of Miss A. Lumas, another very etQclent subordinate oflicer in the asylnm. Her place was demanded by Mr. Riley for a special friend of his. Competency or incompetency was not considered it ws a place for a friend. Miss Lumai is the daughter of an old soldier who fell in defense of his country, and whose body now tills a brave soldier's grave in the National Cemetery at Atlanta. Georgia. These unjust dismissals of an old soldier and the daughter of a comrade who fell on the field of battle, ought to arouse the indignation of every old soldier In the State, and lead him to determine to rebuke such acts by voting with .the party that declares in favor of such changes in the law, and such policy in the management of our institutions, as shall make such removals impossible." "It is said that the superintendent of the asylum strenuously resisted the effort of the trustees to remove, these officers, and since then they have done everything they could to disturb the harmony of the institution and interfere with his management," it was suggested. "That is true, and it has gone to the extent that some of the work on the new building at the asylum has been put specially in the hands of party friends. As a consequence the work has been jrreatly retarded, and that is one of the reasons why the new building was not completed during the summer and ready for occupancy at the beginning of the present school term. State Senator Henry T. Hudson was selected to do the plumbing work in the new building. He is receiving $ a day for his services, a day being eight hours, or as many less as he feels disposed to make it. He has under bis employ a number of persons, whom he himself selected, working by the day at good wages. Contractors and others who understand the matter think that Hudson has a soft snap. The work is progressing very slowly and, according to present indications, will not be completed until tho meeting of the next Legislature, if then. An unnecessary and extravagant amount of material is being used and the job is becoming quite expensive. One of the contractors remarked the other day that he had taken the contract to do his part on the building last year, at very reasonable figures, and that because of the tardiness of so mo of the work which has interfered with him, ho has lost fully live hundred dollars. Much of this is chargeable to Mr. Riley's indifference as to the importance of the work or to his direct effort to favor Hndson, who will have an opportunity to vote, If he lives, for another trustee." It was also stated by the official quoted that the charge recently preferred against Messrs. Ballard & Richard, managers of the broom-shop, were gotten up for partisan purposes. It seems that a man by the name of Yates, who recently came to the city from Ohio, and who is manufacturing brooms on Virginia avenue is making an effort to obtain the place. He claims to be apolitical worker, and gives noevidence of fitness as an instructor of blind boys in broommaking, exceptthat he comes recommended by a number of Democratic politicians. "These and other instances that might be cited." continued the official, "show that at least one moro institution is being corrupted for party purposes. But what is true at the Blind Asylum may also be found in a greater or less degree at other institutions, if an investigation could be had. It has been stated that some of tho heads of these institutions havo declared that they would not be interfered with by the trustees, but the trustees, nevertheless, have succeeded m having appointed numerous officers and attendants of their own selection. " THE EFFECT OF THE TARIFF. A Dry-Goods Man's Opinion of the Benefits American Manufacturers Can Derive from It Saturday afternoon a Journal reporter tnrned in on South Meridian street to make inquiry as to the probable effect of the McKinloy tariff upon certain classes of coods. "The Democratio and mugwump comment that I have seen during the past three or four days," said a merchant approached on the topic, "especially in its local application, is indecently and malignantly untruthful. As to tinware, out of which one of these papers tries to make a very terrifying thing, the advance in a retail way on ordinary tinware used in the household will bo little or nothing. I notice that thes papers very carefully refrain from noting the reduction which in good timo will come in the price of sugar, an article tho consumption of which is very large, and a saving upon which is a matter of consequence in all families. I think even tho lowest paid laborer in the land will appreciate the reduction that will come in the price of sugar." The reporter next met a wholesale drygoods man, one of the inotit prominent men in tho trade, lie was asked what effect tho tariff had upon prices or was likely to have in the near future. "The tariff." said this gentlemen, in roply, "has not materially affected prices with us, nor has it affected prices materially with manufacturers, excepting in anticipation of what may be.' There have been large quantities of goods brought into the country, and mauy of them are now in bond under the old tariff. The go nment. ou theso goods, has given the owners until next lebruary to take them out of bond. If it was not for this leniency on the part

of the government these goods would be thrown upon the market at greatly lower prices than the country has over before experienced. This, of course, would bo damaging to the trade and ruinous to the men who own these goods. As it is the (roods will go quietly into consumption at a small advance, probably, over the old prices, which were the lowest known in the history of the trade. Before the consumption of the present stocks in the country we anticipate the manufacture in many lines of theso goods in the United States at prices little if any higher than prevailed on similar foreign qualities previous to the taking efiect of this new tariff." "You think that the effect of the tariff will be to stimulate our own manufacturers!" "Certainly." "Can you givo me any information on pearl bnttonsf' "Pearl buttons have advanced more largely than anything else that la affected by the tariff. This has not been entirely owing to the tariff, but because of the exceedingly low prices that have prevailed on these goods from a year ago, aud before a new tarift bill waa promulgated. The fieht amone the importers was

very bitter, and reduced prices below. actual cost. This quarrel culminated last spring, and higher prices havo since prevailed. It was with difficulty that buyers of importers succeeded in getting their contracts completed. The new tariff has given the importers an opportunity to come tof;ether and combine upon prices which will 00k high in comparison with the exceedingly low prices that prevailed a year ago. This condition, however, would havo been brought about to a great extent if there had not been a new tariff bilL" "What will be the effect on other lines!" "French dress goods and German hosiery will be higher. This depends not alone upon the tariff bill but largely upon the question of profit to the manufacturer. The new tariff bill will require a declaration of cost in connection witn the invoice of sale. Whether this intimation to our own manufacturers will or will not enable them to make these thine s in competition will then bo developed. It aleo remains to bo seen whether the tariff will prove a tax or bring an increased price. Even next year our manufacturers may bo producing competing goods in all these lines without increased cost to tho consumer, as has been the case in silks, lace curtains and numberless other classes of goods. We were threatened with all aborts of hobgoblins when the tariff waa put to C5 per cent, npon silks. It was a bugaboo that soon disappeared when our manufacturers got to work and produced better silks than this country had ever before soen, and at prices much less than we had ever been favored with. Traders are quicic to take advantage of any disturbances that will assist them in disposing of their stocks. 31any goods are being bought now under pressure, buyers fearing an advanco under the tariff, with a keen expectation of extra profits that may not bo realized. If the new tariff bill exercises the same influence that some of the old ones have, I predict lower prices in the early futnro. The goods affected, if not produced Dy 01 r own people, will be by the removal of foreign capital and skilled labor brought into the United States." Association of Spiritualists. Next Thursday, at 3:30 r. M the State Association of Spiritualists will convene at English's Hall and remain in session four days. Among tho business matters to be brought before tho association will bo a proposition to purchase a tract of ground near this city upon which cottages may do erected for a camp-meeting to which spiritualists may repair for the summer, and where social and religious meetings peculiar to tho sect may be held. It is given out that numbers of wealthy spiritualists in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are in favor of tho enterprise. Spiritualists here say that no fewer than 500 cottagos may do erected tho first season. Many of the Knights Loft. Tho special train bearing the Chicago Knights of Pythias, homeward-bound, left the Union Station yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Many of the visitors, however," were left, and lean cd to their astonishment, they said, that their tickets were not good later than Oct 5. They asserted that they had bought the tickets with the assurance they would bo good for three days. Owing to the impossibility of connection at lloopeston, 111., there was no later train they could take, and new tickets must be purchased to go homo on. Arrested at Muncle. A dispatch was received at polico head- j quarters yesterday, saying that a boy, giving his name as Kichard Early, residing at No. 811 Peru street, had been detected breaking into a house in Mnncie. He was placed under arrest at that place. Belayed by Derailed Cars.
