Be Could Not Muster Encash Votes to Carry Bis Scheme through and the Question Ycnt Back to the Committee.

The Council spent more than two hours last night in discussing the light question, which, in the end, brought the city no nearer a solution of this problem than it was two weeks aeo. F. A. Wonder, representing the Electric Manufacturing Company of Chicago, submitted the only bid that has been received under the readvertisement, ordered two weeks ago. but it was some time before Council would allow it to bo opened and read. Mr. Gauss insisted that the matter of lightbe taken up with a view of a settlement, and he criticised the aldermen for their delay in making a report. A report from that body, however, was forthcoming. It showed that the changes in the original report had been investigated, and that it was evident they had been made in good faith, and with no intention to mutilate tho records. It was recommended that the matter be referred back to Council for correction, and a motion, by Mr. Yontz, to approve the changes prevailed. Mr. Yontz again moved to refer the entire question back to the public- light committee, and that motion also prevailed. Mr. Gauss called a meeting of tho committee immediately, and after a short conference it submitted a report which was made the basis of the discussion of the the evening. The report set forth that as no bids had been received since tnose opened Jan. 5, that of the Brush company made on that day, was the lowest and best and the passage of the following resolution was recommended: Resolved, That the Brush Electrlc-lteht and Power Company be awarded the contract for supplying the city with 550 electric lights of two-thousand standard candle-power each, on a nve years contract, in accordance with its bid received Jan. 5, lSJji, all additional lights to be supplied at tho same price. Tho said Brush company is to supply, free of charge, twelve cn-gine-hoases each with six incandescent clcctrio lights of sixteen candlo-power each. TALK ABOUT COST. ' T Mr. Woollen ollered an amendment providing that the Brush company's bid be accepted on conditions "that the entire city be lighted properly insido of $G5,000 as a maximum coat." Mr. Olson moved to table this amendment, but the motion was defeated by a vote of 21 to 4, Messrs. Murphy, Meyers, Olaen and Gauss voting in the affirmative. Mr; Myers raised the point that the resolution was a part of a report, and that this Council had not the power to amend any committee's report, but be was not sustained by the chair. Mr. Gauss, in a long speech, cited facts and figures in support of his position. According to the Brush company's bids, he said, 100 electric lights would cost $30,552 a year; 500 would cost S4U.440; 550, $54,SS4; CC0. $58,752, and C50, $03,C8. On the proposition he wanted to accept, namely, 550 lights at S54.SS4, the total cost, including three hundred vapor lights, would be $5'J,7S4, which would leave a balance of $0,000 for additional lights. He said the gas company has controlled many councils in the past, and that the appropriation of $05,000 meant gas for a portion of the city. "Mr. Gauss has worked hard and faithfully, I think, to settlo this question," said Mr. Woollen, "but the matter of nuances enters largely into it. Wo have bad streets and defective sewers, and I want a limit placed upon the amount we are to spend for light, which is, after all, only a luxury. 1 believe gas is a thing of the past, so far as street lighting is concerned, but. gentle men. if you do not place a limit on this Council you will iind that to properly light this city will require $100,000." Mr. Gauss has been too severe on onr company," Mr. Pearson said. "Not a single member of it has imnortuned a member of this body or of the Board of Aldermen for his vote. Nor has the company, gone to tho Eress for support. Mr. Gauss is unfair in is remarks. His tigurcs are entirely wrong, and he has said things here to-night of which ho knows nothing. I am heartily in favor of electricity for lighting tho streets a man who is not is certainly a fool but in this case it is a question of money. When Mr. Gauss found himself in deep water ho should have had the ability and judgment to go to tho linanco committee and ask advice. Five weeks ago lie knew their bids were as low as any be could get, and yet he delayed. I repeat that his attack upon the gas company to-night was unwarranted and unfair." "I will say," interrupted Mr. Gauss, "that Mr. Pearson never approached me." "No, nor anyouo else," retcrted Mr. Pearson. x"1 referred in my remarks to the gas company as a whole, and not to you individually." "But you must remember, Mr. Gauss, that I am a member of it." Mr. Trusler moved to refer the whole matter to the tinanco committee, and the discussion that followed brought abont another tilt between Mr. Gauss and Mr. Pearson. "This effort to rofer it to tho finance committee," said the former, "is simply a scheme to kill it. I, as chairman of the light committee, am an able to handle the question as any member of this body." lLaughter. "That strikes me as a broad statement to be made on the floor of this body," interrupted Mr. Pearson, angrily. "Do you mean to insinuato, Mr. Gauss, that such men as Mr. Woollen, Mr. Kassman. Mr. Stechhan and Mr. Cooper, who are members of tho tinancial committee, have been bought up to kill this matter?" io, sir; but I know that it means a plan to kill it. I insist that I am able to handle the Question." v "es," Mr. Pearson replied, "you are a man possessed of more brains than tho rest of us in your own estimation." SENT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE. Mr. Yontz thought that the bid of the Brnsh company was 80 per cent, too high and that it had been made on a 70 per cent, profit He believed that the entiro city could be lighted for $C5,000. Mr. Truster's motion to refer tho matter to the tinanco committeee was tabled by a vote of 13 to 12. Tho committee's resolution being tabled Mr. Kassman" then moved to open the bid which had been submitted by Mr. Wonder, and his motion prevailed. The bid ollered electric lights on an allnight schedule and a five-year contract at the following rates: Four hundred lights, at $104 each: 500, at $102; 000, at $100; 700. at $98, and bOO, at $06. On a moon schedule the following rates were ollered: Four hundred lights, at $94 each; 500, at $02; COO, at S'JO; 700, at $8i. and fcOO. at $SC If the city would agree to purchase a plant on the installment plan the bid provided it could do so by paying $50,000 a year for seven years, at the end of which time the plant would become the property of the city. On motion of Mr. Kassman the bid, together with all matters pertaining to the light question, was referred to the light committee. , But little routino business was disposed of. William II. English complaiued that the laying of the new asphalt pavement on East Washington street had damaged his property on tho northwest corner of Noble and Washington streets by changing the grade and making it necessary to elevate the ground lloor of his block. He asked for reasonable damages in preference to bringing suit. The matter was referred to the-judiciary committer. Orders amounting to $43,fc05.20 were reported as having been drawn on the city treasury during February. After passing the regular appropriation ordinances the Council adjourned. Articles of Incorporation. Articles of incorporation were filed with the Secretary of State, yesterday, for tho Sheridan brick-works. $50,000 capital stock, and J. C. Adams, O. II. Root and F. 'B.' Adams directors; Martinsville Electriclight and Power Company, $9,000 capital stock, and H. A. Smock. J. U. Henry and Oscar Matthews, directors. The Police Couminloncra. The Polico Commissioners yesterday conferred special police powers upon A. N.' Bracken, at the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb; William Tomman, of the city street department; John Sweed, at tho Pan

handle freight yards; W. J. Lewis, Peter Noon and Patrick Griffon, of the streetrailway company. The powers of Charles R. Collior were revoked, he havingresigncd from the Merchant police force. The secretary reported 270 arrests in February. MEETINGS AND OTnER OCCURRENCES. The IiaptUt Church In the Field of Foreign 3IUtons A mass foreign missionary meeting was held, yesterday afternoon and evening, in the First Baptist Church. Tho afternoon session was preceded by a Bible reading by Rev. T. J. Keith, D. D. An address was made by Rev. J. F. Williams, of the North Baptist Church, on the subject of the great commission to go into all the world and preach tho gospel to every creature Rev. T. G. Fields. D. D., assistant secretary of the American Baptist Missionary Society in the Northwest, followed on the theme, "Christ, the Bread of Life." The evening session was addressed by Rev. B. F. Cavins, D. D., of Peru. He showed tho benefit of Christianizing the world for civilization and profit of commerce. Rev. J. N. Murdock, of Boston, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board, spoke of tho work of the Baptist Church in distant lands. He showed the great good that had been done and imperative needs answered, and yet hundreds of appeals had to bo denied for lack of men and money. During the last year the board had expended $500,000, and on tho 1st of April, 1891, would be in debt fully $100,000. It would not bankrupt tho board, he said, but he appealed to the church to provide the means for carrying on this missionary work. The recent financial stringency and rise of silver resulting from silver legislation had reduced the board's revenues. It was once able to buy 2S0 Indian rupees for one American sold dollar, but now, since silver had risen in value. 240 rupees were worth a dollar. The board has attempted to retrench, but it seems like suicide to pursue such a policy. Subscriptions are to be asked from all tho churches in support of the work of the board.

Governors of the Hoard of Trade. At the meeting of the Board of Trade governing committee, last evening. D. P Erwin. I. S. Gordon, Charles E. Hall. W. H Griffith. W. B. Holton, C. C. Foster. John M. Shaw and Arthur Jordan were selected ; to represent the board on the executive committee of the freight bureau. J. A. Wildman. from the special committee ar-' pointed at the previous meeting to co-operate with the National Or--dtr of Railway Conductors, presented statistics prepared by ' the' order's committee, setting forth the ad-" vantages of Indianapolis as a suitable locality for the headquarters of the association. A letter was read from Geo. M. Sattord. chairman of the State committee of the order, stating that every effort was being made to bring the headquarters to Indianapolis. YThe Board of Trade s committee is very earnest in the project, and hopes to be of considerable service' in bringing about the desired end. To further extend tho co-operation of the board in this direction three more were added to, the, committee Geo. G. Tanner, D. P. Erwin' and Wm. Scott. There will be a jdint; meeting of committees from the order and: the board at tho Denison House to-morrow afternoon. ?j Dr. Gilbert and Ills Work Indorsed.. Rev. Dr. J. E. Gilbert addressed the Indianapolis Ministers' Association, yesterday morning, on the plans and needs of the interdenominational Sunday-school work. The association expressed its approval of tho work by unanimously adopting tho following papen Resolved, That the Indianapolis . Ministers' Association express its sratlncat ion at the success already attained by the Interdenominational Sunday-school Institute under tho management of Dr. Gilbert. Resolved, That we heartily commend the Institute as thoroughly practical la tho line of progressive church and Sunday-school work. Resolved, That we express our confidence in Dr. Gilbert's ability to carry out the plAns of the Institute, and also our hearty appreciation of his Christian character. He Is specially litted by training and experience for tho work, and. as it inception and development havo been thus fur entirely with him, we believe we aro frtvine tho cause the greatest help by offerinir I)r. Gilbert our cordial co-operation in this worthy enterprise). Events to Occur. The Meridian-street Quartet, Mrs. and Miss Walker, Professor Ernestinoft and Mr. Morris Meek, are making preparations to give two concerts out of the city, one probably at Crawfordsville and the other at Bloomington. m m m TBE SITUATION UNCHANGED. I T Carpenters, Having Support of Other Bnlfdinsr Trades, Are Hopeful of the Outcome The situation in labor circles was un changed yesterday. The contractors on tbt) Kingan building began work in the morning with six carpenters, but four of them were induced to quit by tho appeals of the committeeof journeymen. "What inliiience do yon use in such instances!1 asKed a Journal reporter of one of them last night. "Wo appeal to them as men and brothers." was the reply. The unions aro.aiol to be growing and to have a combined meni.bersbip of 1,450. ;A j "There are fully 5,000 more men," slid union carpenter, last night, "interested in this struggle than in tho fight we had last year. Then Carpenters' Unions Nos. 00, 219, and 4 JO, bore the burden of the iight.'and had scarcely three hundred members. but tho bosses did not know it. This year,, though, all the building trades aro interested, and we feel more hopeful of the outcome." V j The action of the Brick-layers' Union In affiliating, for the first time, in the Building Trades Council, removes a feeling bf antagonism which has been obvious for 6ome tine. 1 ( "The other building trades-unious," a brick-layer remarked, "have felt ratlier sore at us because we held aloof from them. The reason was we had no troubles of our own, and did not think it right to involve our union until good cause existed. There is good cause now in upholding the eighthour day and the dignity of organized labor, so we have cast in our lot with the others." The regular meeting of the planing-mill-workers ocourred last night, but nothing was done that was allowed to be given out. Henry Coburn stated yesterday that five mills are running with full or partial force The men employed havo accepted the nropo sition made Saturday to the special committee of carpenters and planing-mill-workers. Bakers and Confectioners. The Journeymen Bakers and Confectioners International Union of America began its sixth annual session, yesterday, in Arbeiter Hall, on Maryland street. Twenty delegates were present from widely separated portions of the country. George Horn and Henry Eusminger were elected recording secretaries, but, according to tho enstoms of the union, a new presiding o Ulcer is elected for each session, morning and afternoon. Carl Hacker had the honor of the first election. International Secretary August Delabar., of New York, made his annual report, showing an increase of forty-three unions and 2,500 members, making a total membership of $,750. The condition of the united body was announced to be firstclass. Acknowledgment of help and encouragement in obtaining so large an increase in membership was given tho national bodies of the cigar-makers and carpenters. The various committees were appointed, and tho convention adjourned for the day. The sessions will continue all week. Two More Candidate. William R. Johnson, of Lawrenceburg, and George li. D. Gibson, of Jeffersonville, are among tho candidates for judgeship on the appellate bench. Governor Hovev will make no appointments until next week. W. L. Penheld, of Auburn, says he is not a'candidate for appointment. Track-Load of Freight Fell on II I in. H. H. Day was b&dly injured at the C, H. & D. freight depot, yesterday afternoon. by a truck-load of freight he was moving falling on him. His right leg and thigh were broken. He was taken in Kregelo's ambulance to No. 106 Hoyt avenue.

Probably the Finest AndienceEver Gathered in a Theater Here Greets ThemA Masterly Performance Notes of Amusements.

It is safe to say that years from now those who attended the Grand Opera-house last night and saw Coleman's fine old English comedy of "Heir at Law" will dwell with pleasure on the remembrance and be very decided in their opinion that it was the finest play they ever saw. It will be a memory to carry with one for a lifetime. The house was crowded to the footlights. Both the galleries were filled and scores of people came in on standing room only. The musicians, dispossessed of their places to make room for two more rows of auditors, produced their harmonies under the stage and out of sight It was tho largest audience that has been at the Grand this season and will never bo exceeded nntil the house is enlarged. It was remarked that there were several hundred faces that are rarely seen at theatrical entertainments, church people and the more cultured, who hold to the opinion ' that tho stage is not what it once was, and that the better class of plays are no longer produced. When the curtain rose and Mr. Jcficrson stepped out as Peter Pan gloss, LL. D., as ho explains conferred by the Caledouiau University at Aberdeen, and A. S. S., associate of the society of science, these rare visitors, whose night had como at last, swelled the welcoming applause. Mr. Jefferson's pedantic doctorjs the acme of histrionic art. given with a naturalness and ease that none of his predecessors in , the part have eoualed. ;When Mr. Florence appeared in the scene atthe inn as ZekielHomespun, a farmer lad from Derbyshire, with his sister. Cicely .Homespun (Miss Viola Allen), he, too. was -given recognition in a great clapping of rhands. Later on it was to be seen that Miss Allen, as the ruddy-cheeked and .honest-hearted country lass, was equally .deserving of applause, for truly there was never a more charming representation .fresh, sweet and natural than that given r bv Miss Allen as Cicely Homespun, "who can fatten pigs better than any lass in -Derbyshire." Nover has a company of greater merit appeared in any comedy in this city. Not a place in the cast could have been improved, though Mrs. Drew was not, as expected, in tho part of Deborah Dowlas, a role admirably personated by Mine. Ponsoui. Dr. Pangioss's sententious quotations as delivered by Jefferson were delightful. "Doctor, d n Plato," says Dick Dowlas. "What! d n Plato, divine Plato! Why, the very bees swarmed down hi6 throat as soon as ho was born. Oh. no; ydu can't d n Plato." The part of Dick :Dowlas. the lover of Cicely, as taken by (Frederick Paulding, was a fine piece of acting, he being in every way adapted to the part, and nono the less by reason of his slender figure and active movements. Mr. K C. Bangs is an old and finished actor. j and as Daniel Dowlas, the tallow chandler (Suddenly exalted to tho new dignity of ; Lord Duberlv, he came out in great force, though. ai he remarked, "What signifies : dignity without its crackery sticks," a perversion which quite knocked out the ; erudite Dr. Pangloss. i ( Mr. Florence, in this play, has a much greater opportunity to show his capability as an actor than that attorded him in the part of Sir Lucius OTrigger in "The Rivals," and he avails himself of it. The character of Zekiel Homespun, as given by him. is a great conception. When he understands the suggested villainy of his friend, Dick Dowlas, toward his sisier, and becomes eloquent in tears, the house wept with him. "I understand you now," said honest Zekiel; "you are a scoundrel; stand , pil or I may do you an injury!' But the most telling tcene upon the audience is of course, that in which Dick Dowlas, in contrite heart, seeks out honest Cicely and. a 'lord's son though he is, offers her his hand and heart. Mr. Jefferson, as Dr. Pangloss. has the mission of Cnpid in this and performs it very quaintly, though the whole act was so much to the .satisfaction of the audience that the curlain was called up twice to give a view of Uhe Doctor, Ciceley and Dick. In the last act. of course, the real heir to Lord Du.berly turns up in the person of Henry Morotland (Fred G. Ross), who is the lover of Caroline Dormer (Miss Elsie Lombard), rwhose beauty and grace made the most of 'a small part, and the Dowlases return to :tneir former estate, while Zekiel Home.spun's lottery tieket draws 20.000. and thus virtue is rewarded. The epilogue afforded each actor a few words to the audi.Jence. and tho curtain fell on tho greatest ; 'comedy performance of the season. LIKE "lIEIIt AT LAW" BETTER. Yesterday afternoon in the office of Dickson & Talbott, at the Grand Opera-house, a iJournal reporter mot Joseph Jeilerson. Ho had just been informed that about every seat in the house, up stairs and down, - had been taken. "I think," said Mr. Jef:ferson, smiling at this statement, "that -peoplo like Heir at Law' better than 'The Lilivals.' It is not, of course, a new play, r except to this generatiou. It is a fine old English comedy and gives Mr. Florence a better opportunity for the display of his , talent as an actor than he is afforded in the character of Sir Lucius OTrigger in 'The -Rivals.' It is played differently now from 'the way in which it was given bv John ,SIeeper Clarke, Mark Smith and other ; actors of their day. Then it was played around one man, but now several parts are brought out." Off the stage Mr. Jefferson has a face like a winter apple, the skin a little rough'ened. but a hardy, wholesome red in his cheeks, like a Hoosier farmer who is out in the weather a great deal and is all the better for it. Yesterday afternoon, as is his custom whenever he comes to this, city, he paid a visit to the widow of the late Thomas Glossing, a very noted scenic artist, and for many years a choice friend of the actor. TARK THEATER "BOTTOM OF TFIE SEA." The marine spectacle, as it is called "The Bottom of the Sea," which was seen here earlier in the season at the Grand, is tho current attraction at the Park, where it will continue to-day and to-morrow. The audiences yesterday filled the theater to overflowing, and the performances were much applauded. The scenery, which is the same as employed at the Grand, is very striking, better perhaps than ever before seen on this stage. The bottom of the sea, as represented by a series of transformation, the laying of the cable, and the shipwreck and rescue, were especially notable. Mr. George W. Barnnm. of base-ball fame, plays one of the leading parts excellently, and the cast otherwise includes, as leading memoers. George P. Webster. Ross O'Niel, Miss Lillian Lee, Miss Belle Donglass and Miss Fannie Cohen. On Thursday anoTVthe rest of the week, "The Great Metropolis" will be given. jcotes. DoWolf Hopper will appear before an Indianapolis aifdience for the first time as an independent star next Thursday evening at the Grand and will present, also for the first time here, "The Lady and the Tiger" and "Castles in the Air." They are said to a fiord Mr. Hopper abundant opportunity for the display of his ability as a laugh-maker. The company will include Thomas O. Seabrooke. Delia Fox. Anna O'Keefe. Edmund Standley. AJfred Klein, Elvia Crox and others, well-known comio opera favorites. There is to be a very large chorus, composed principally of handsome and attractive young ladies with tuneful voices. Thursday and Saturday evenings "The Lady or the Tiger" will be given and Friday evening and Saturday matinee "Castles in the Air." Seats will be on sale to-day for the engagement. Of the numerous farce-comedy companies before the public none has been more successful than Russell's Comedians, who will present for the first time here, at the Grand, to-morrow night, "Miss McGiuty," a piece that is said to be full of original and pretty music. The company, which is headed by Miss Fay Templeton. will include such well known farceurs as Harry Bell, Dan Daly,
