BALLOTS FOB THE ELECTION

County Clerks Did Not Come Prepared for the Big Loads Waiting for Them. Thej Were Worried Over How to Get Safely Home with TheirResponsibilitj Discharged Counties That Have Been Supplied. Marion county is the only one in the State which finds it possible to carry out to the letter the provisions of the new election law. Thia complicated statute requires the county clerk, or his authorized agent, to call for the ballots apportioned to his county, and not lose sight of them until their transfer ia safely accomplished. It is botheriug the clerks considerably to follow out this requirement and they will have to stretch the law in order to cart their ballots home successfully. Various devices are being resorted to in order to grapple with the problem aud solve it To shoulder from three hundred to one thousand pounds of naner. and stick to it nntil it is deposited in the proper place is something the clerks had not bargained for. They did not know tho law contemplated such a thing. Many of them came to the State Election Board's rooms at the State-house yesterday with tho expectation of tucking a few bundles of ballots under their arms and returning home. One glance at the pile of packages apportioned to his county causes the clerk to chango his mind, and he begins to cast about for some nieaus to stow away the mass of paper. "Well, I'll be d d," said one astonished clerk yesterday afternoon, after he had been led to nig section and formally introduced to his task. "Why, I'll need a balloon to get all that stutf back home if I have to keep my eye on it every minute." lie soon abandoned the balloon idea, however, and procured several large wooden boxes on which he will put handlesin order to have them checked. He said he would try to sit on them all the way home, and if not allowed to remain the baggageat would inspect them at eacn station to see that they were not disturbed. Another clerk bought a couple of cheap packing-trunks, aud thus disposed of his liberal slice of ballots. Still another, after sizing up the situation, made up his mind that shawl-straps would just about tit his case, and, purchasing four, proceeded to put his ballots in shape for transportation. Sixteen counties have thus far been supplied, the clerks of fourteen counties coming in person, while two were represented by deputies. Marion was the first county to receive her ballots, and under Deputy George liuskixk's direction over eleven hundred pounds of ammunition for carrying on the great political battle of Nov. 4 were taken to the court-house, where they were deposited in a large box. They will be carefully guarded until put in use, a watchman having been detailed to sleep by tho box until election day. These seventy-six thousand ballots made a good-sized wagon load. The counties supplied yesterday, the number of tickets received by each, aud those receiving them, wero as follows: Marion, ?ti,180, deputy, George liuskirk; Delaware, 13.900, clerk, George F. McCnlloch; Steuben, 7,800, clerk, W. E. Kempsey; Hancock, 9.G00, clerk, R. E. Black; Scott, 4,800; messenger, Elijah A. Gladden: Washington. a.GCO, clerk. E. W. Menaugh; Miami, 12.400, clerk, Joseph H. Larimer; Vermillion, 6,780, clerk, A. II. Hopkins; Floyd. l4.b"J0, clerk, H. K. W. Meyer; Madison, 18,400, clerk, J. J. Netterville; Jacksou, 12,130. clerk, James R. Anthony; Decatur, 10,1(10, clerk, J.M.Thomson; Wabash, 13.600, clerk, T. It. Urady; Randolph, 15.500, clerk, John R. Engle; Hamilton, 12,970, clerk, Ira W. Christian; Ripley, 10.8X, Edward W. Wood. The election commissioners nominally supervised the work of delivering tho ballots, the bulk of the actual labor, of course, falling upon clerk liookwalter and his corps of assistants. The law gives the county clerks the privilege of demanding that the ballots be counted and sealed in his presence, but does not make it mandatory. If the latter was the case, the ballots would be turned over to the clerks about Christmas. To-day will probably witness the biggest rush of the tbree, and the workers are preparing for a lively day. The clerks have only until Friday to procure thoir ballots. Next to Marion county, Allen's supply is the largest, weighing about seven hundred pounds. Then comes Vigo with about six hundred and Vanderburg with 500. The only county for which a supply has not been prepared is Perry, the Auditor ot which has only reported fifteen of the twenty-two precincts. The supplies of all the other counties are bunched, labeled and ready for the clerks to receive and receipt for them. It will be several days before the smell of sealingwax will desert the southeast corridor of the Capitol. It is the general opinion that unnecessary safeguards are thrown about the transportation of the ballots, and tbat tho iaw will bo amended so as to permit of the printing of the tickets in the respective counties. As each ticket, under the law, must be signed with the initials of tho county clerk before being handed out to the voter, tho precaution taken seems superfluous. . MATTERS OF IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. Rassman Has an Ordinance of Importance to Property-Holders. A new question has arisen in the matter of street improvements, as to whether or not a property-owner should be given the right to cut through an asphalt pavement for the purpose of making sewer, gas or water connections. There was, until the present Council came in, an ordinance prohibiting this, but it was repealed, -and as the law stands any one can cut a pavement in front of his property provided he gives bond for its repair. This ordinance, it is claimed by sonio, is unfair and should bo repealed. "1 do not believe," said Councilman Yontz. yesterday, "that an asphalt pavement should be cut for anything after it has been put down. No matter if a bond is furnished for repairing it. the work cannot be done as well a it was when the street was laid. That is, I mean, the pavement cannot be made as uniform." Councilman Rassman is preparing an ordinance which, he thinks, will remedy matters. 'In the first place," said ho, yesterday, "the present ordinance should be repealed. In no other city that I know of does such a law exist, and it is certainly not right that it should here. In Chicago, for examnle, when a street is to bo improved with a permanent pavement all underground pipo connections must be xnad6 and all sewers laid before anything is done. The ordinauce in force is exactly contrary to this plan. A property-owner can cut the pavement by furnishing bond, but even that is not risht." "What changes will your ordinance make!" asked the reporter. "My idea is to nave the city repair all streets that may be cut for sewer or other connections, and have tho'property-holders, corporations and others interested in cutting tho pavement furnish the money. In the ordinance I shall include a schedule of rates, according to which any kind of a street connection can be made. If you. for instance, want to make connection with the gas-mains, you must first go to the city clerk for a license. Yoti will be compelled to tell how many feet of street you intend to tear up, and the kind of pavement, and then deposit, in cash, the amount necessary to replace the pavement according to the schedule of rates. After you have made the connections, the street commissioner is to repair the street and deduct the actual cost from the money yon deposited. That is a rough outline of my ordinance, and I hope I can introduce it at tho next meeting of ConnciL At any rate the present ordinance should be ropealed at once." Viaducts for All CrntRlngf. The ordinance providing for a viaduct on Virginia avenue, passed by Council Monday night, was freely discussed on the streets yesterday. The general opinion was in favor of the structure, but some criticism was made on the ordinance. "I am heartily in favor of a viamict at tho Virginia-avenue crossing," said ex-Conncilman Longyesterday. "but 1 think tho ordinance, as it will go to the Hoard of Aldermen, cenld hrve been improved. Mr. McGill was right when he ottered an amendment to compel the

Union Railway Company to construct a foot-way through the Union Station on Illinois street. It is only fair to the people on the South Side to mattf some provision for their advantage, since the surface of Illinois street is closed at that point." "Rut cannot the city compel the construction of viaducts without releasing the company from its present contract!" he was asked. "Of course it can, and what is more it should. That is one reason why I say the ordinance should not have been passed as it is. The city can compel tbe company to put viaducts over every crossing. Jibe fact is. the corporations in this city have more concessions made them than would bo allowed in other cities. They are shown too many favors, by far. Councilman Gasper, who voted against tbe ordinance, did not do 60 because he opposed the viaduct. 'l am heartily in favor of it, and so are the other six who voted In the negative," said he, yesterday, "but, if the ordinance passes the Board, the time will come when the people of the South Side will say we were right. I am opposed to releasing the Union Railway Company from its contract upon any conditions whatever. We can get viaducts without buying them. The company can be compelled to make its crossings safe, and I, for one, am in favor of making no concessions." Street-Car Franchise. The new street-car ordinance was to have been submitted to Council Monday night, the six weeks of its postponement having expired. "We will not bring it up. though," said tbe chairman of tho railroad committee yesterday, "until tho Supreme Court decides the question as to the company's liability for its share of street improvements. We expected a decision before this, and cannot pass the ordinance before it is made." m Took What the Auditor Gave Tnem. The trustees of the Southern Hospital for Insane had an interview -with the Xuditor of State, yesterday, regarding the refusal of that official to draw a warrant for the payment of September expenses, amounting to nearly S30.000. The Auditor' explained to them where they had made a mistake, and they departed with the voucher, sadder but wiser trustees. They will separate tho items which properly come nnder the head of maintenance from those which belong essentially to the construction class, and w hen properly made out. a warrant on tbe maintenance fund will be drawn. As the money in the fund for the construction of the additional hospitals has been exhausted the bills coming under that head cannot be paid until the next Legislature appropriates money for that purpose. Charged with Embezzlement. Edward W. Shoaff was brought here yesterday from Fort Wayne, where he was arrested by detective O'Ryan on a warrant sworn out by P. J. Flannedy. Tho charge against him is tbat of embezzling $75 in money from the P. F. Collier Publishing Company, of New York.
