The Size of His -ray-Roll Drives tho Hoard of Public Works to Desperation. IIow Controller Woollm Will Slash Election Expenses Prime's Run Improvement Details of Citj Affairs. It has been characteristic of the august Hoard of Public Works every since it was organized that its most important business has been transacted in tho star chamber, with the doors locked and the blinds down, into which no profane eye could penetrate. Such was the course yesterday. As soon as the board had sot thronph with its regular session an adjournment was made to the tar chamber, "What are you going to do?"' inquired a Journal reporter of President Condnitr. "Nothing in particular," said he. "If wo wanted you to know what we were going to do we wouldn't come in here." Hut because the meeting of the Board of Public Works, like a recent session of the Fanners' Alliance, was held behind closed doors and absolute eccrocy was observed, is no reason why tbe Jonrnal fthouldn't print the news. Yesterday's star chamber teseion was held to take action on the oUtreperous Pat Harrold. whose weekly pay-rolls have no limit bnt the sky. The immediate cause of the board's ire was the fact that tbe weekly pay-roll submitted by Mr. Harrold yesterday, amounted to S1.VJ2.3G. For acme time tbe board has been objecting to the amount of the street commissioner's par-roll, and yesterday it was decided to call a halt. To-day there will be no men employed by Street Commissioner Harrold except those who have teams, perhaps ten in all. This is on the order of the board. Toe election is over. Prom now on no attempt will be made to keep tho improved streets of the city cleaned ana repaired. From what could be ascertained the board fell upon Mr. Harrold pretty hard yesterday, and it is said that one of the members at hrst refused to sign this week's pay-roll. Will Lop Off Election Expense. ."Just step in hero and I'll tell you what I am going to do about tbe pay of tho election inspectors," said Controller Woollen to a J ournal reporter yesterday. "Tho city clerk just certified the accounts to me this afternoon, and I have been working on them ever since. Now, I don't mind telling you, because I have made up my mind to do it, that I shall lop oil' just 31.7CO of the wholo amount certified to me. Already I have audited election bills amounting to $3,493.04. I intend to audit two more bills, one for $183 and the other for $10 but there is one for $7G0 that I will not audit for awhile, or until an extra appropriation is necured. After the Sl.TCOjust spoken of is deducted from the whole amount, the election expenses will exceed the appropriation between 000 and S400. This the Council will be asked to appropriate. Each election inspector receives four days pay and 10 cents mileage. while the judges and sherifls get two days' pay each. As a large number of the inspectors pnt in bills for live and six days. I suppose I will be jumped on to for the course I have taken in this matter. Hot I bellove it is right, and I am going to stick to it." After the rogue's Run Improvement, Councilman Emil Kassmann appeared before tbe Hoard of Public Works yesterday rooming for tbe first time since the election, and the compliments of the season were passed before ho got down to business. "What has the board done vrith Poguo's run!'' he inquired. . "Nothing' said President Condultt, who was in a facetious mood. "Your commit ter cut that oil' the appropriation." 'Oh, no. wo didn't." hastily replied Mr. Euismanii, and with that the repartee ceased. Tbe l'ogue's run appropriation is $10,100 and tho work contemplated is to clean it from Liberty street to Cliilord avenue, and build anew bridge at Vermont street. Mr. Kassmann also called tbo board's attention to the fact that the bridge near the Dickson storage house on Pennsylvania street is an obstruction and asked to have it removed. The entire matter was referred to City Engineer Manslieid. After Those Dead Cats. FranK McCrca, representing L. Mehring, a sub-tenant of Sellers farm, was before tho Board of Public Worksyesterday morning to ascertain if tho contract whereby Samuel Rauh, the lessee of tho farm, is given the privilege of carrying away dead animals gives him an exclusive right to them. Mr. Mcbnog would likoto have a few dead animals himself, and ho does not even draw the line at cats and dogs, although he says that when a man travels three miles after a cat's carcass there isn't much money in tho venture. There is also a ditferenre existing between Mr. Mehring and Mr. Kauh. and the latter sent a communication to the board asking U to fix a fichednlo of rents to be paid by the subtenants of hellers farm. This will be done. rearl and Coburn Streets Must Wait. Robert Kennington is in a stew. He has tho contracts for putting in one or two brick streets and the specifications call for the Central Clay Company's brick. Mr. Kennington told theboard yesterday morning that he had been waiting for brick three or four weeks and couldn't get them. He said if he could go on with the work he would be willing to use Ohio Valley brick, which are xnoro costly. The only way in which he could substitute another brick for those called for in tho specifications would be for every property-owner to consent, otherwise they could refuse to pay tho street improvement assessment The board, therefore, informed Mr. Kennington that it would bo rather risky for him to tnako the change. Will ltrick West Washington. Mr. Fisher, of Fisher fc Talontire. contractors, told the Hoard of Public Works yesterday that he could secure a petition of the property-owners asking for the improvement of West Washington street from the bridge to the corporation line with brick, and wanted to know what tho prospects would be for the improvement being made next year, lie was informed that the work wouid be done. Mr. Fisher also wanted to know what had teen done about the (Jilliard-avdnn contract, on which he was tho lowest bidder. The board will readvertiseand relet the contract, owing to eome irregularity in the bidding. Huiktrk Wants to Study Lair. Judge Hnakirk isn't through kicking yet. Tho other day he nsked the Hoard of Public Works for a room, and was assigned one. Yesterday he asked to have it changed to the north side of the basement. He also wanted tho room furnished "liko this room in here," as ho pointed to tho Mayor's sanctum, and tho board gave him a requisition for furniture. The queerest request the uewly-mado Judge hasynt made was for two copies of the Reviled Statutes. What will he do with them? The law is a small and receding factor in Judge Huskirk's wonderful derisions. Wants a New Itridge. The proprietor of tho Shelby House, out on Shelby street, a very urbane gentleman, came in yesterday morning to notify the Hoard of Pnblic Works that a plank in the Shelby-street bridge over PloAsant run was broken and a horse had fallen through. The matter was referred to tbe street commusiouer. with instrnctions to repair the bridge. While before the board the tavernkeeper called ita attention to the need of n i.ew bridge over Pleasant run at Sbelhv street, over which he raid two hundred trir.'a pass daily going to and from the card factory. lncdnIoCotnpany HebuMdlnjr. ; V, The Ductule Cenniug Cornp iny, Whose factory was recently destroyed by fm yesterday asked the board for the location of lire hydrants on Union and Dngdalo streets near the site of their old buildings. The

company is rebuilding its factory, and claims that since it pays $.2.000 annual taxis it is certainly entitled to lire protection. Municipal otc. The board has ordered an additional gaslamp in front of tho City Hospital. The board will receive bids on tho lumber required to relioor tho Washington-street bridge. A petition as tiled yesterday for the vacation of Hobb street, from Hates to Meek street. Fifteen property-owner9 on Spring street, between North and Walnut streets, ask for new sidewalks. William Winoberger has petitioned for brick sidewalk on Virginia avenue, between Noble and Huron streets. A declaratory resolution was adopted by theboard yesterday for the grading and graveling of the first alley west of Pennsylvania street, from Fifth street to the first alley north. William T. J. Madiris, of 200 Fast North street, sent in a protest, yesterday, because Snyder Sc Co., contractors, have removed the gravel sidewalk from m front of his honse. He says he never signed a petition for a pnvato contract. Sonio time asro the Hoard of Pnblic Works advertised for bids for furnishing tho city with -6,0X warrant blanks. Five bids were opened yesterday morning, and tho contract was awarded to i.ouis D. Fngle at $r.S& The bids were as follows: Joseph Kattl. $107.CC; William H. Hurford. $'JG.50; William Laugadale Printing Company, J2.bO; William Robson. $73.45; Louis JJ. Kngle. iG2.ES. A "Kick- May Jle Looked Tor. To the Editor ot t?ie Indianapolis Journal: It seems that the Hoard of Public Works is wrestling, or ii about to wrestle, with the street-cleaning problem; but, so far as Indicated, they propose to givo the other fellow nil "under-holts." In other words, their schemo ssems to require us Collegeavenue upper-tens, who have taxed ourselves nearly to death to build tho best street in the c;ty, to not only keep it clean, but to help our poor neighbors on Hroadway and Ash to keep theirs clean also. Is this fairf When ready to receive company we will not say a word against these poor neighbors driving on to our bricked street and uuloadiug their mud upon it. Like the tidy housewife, whoso boorish visitor failed to use the mat at the door, but unloaded his surplus mud on her carpet, we aro thinking of sweeping after them without saving a cross word, bnt when it comes to taxintr us to clean their streets by a ?;angoftreet-8crapersand wagons every ew months even to grubbing up the grass that obstructs their unpaved gutters, the board may expect some vigorous kicking. We are rnueh Inclined to be benevolent as well as neighborly, but we must draw the lino somewhere, and we draw the line on cleaning all common atreets at the city's expense, but making those who have made good streets at their own expense, keep their streets eleau, nt their own expense, also; and tho board will do well to make a note of this.

THE WAY HE WENT DOWN. W. R. Leonard Showed How to Xako a Rapid Descent and Wa8 Badly Hurt. W. R. Leonard, a puddler at the Premier steel-works, encountered a severe fall yesterday at the State-house, and is a badly injured man. Ho had a friend from the country visiting him, and was showing tho honest yeoman tho bights. Leonard appears to have been oa fall of spirits, and was capering about liko a yearling colt. In descending tho staircase from tho third to the eecond Uoor, nt tho southeast corner ot the building, Leonard said; "This is the way my boy slides down staira." Suiting tho action to the word, ho Hung ono leg ov er the banister, but ho put too much vim in his sprinir. and over ho tumbled. Ho struck the balustrade on tho second floor; from thero tumbled on the stairs and rolled to the ground floor. Flanner & Huchauin's ambulance conveyed Leonard to his home, at No. S73 South Missouri street. The physician who attended him fonnd no broken bones, but Leonard is a badly bruised and banged-up citizen. CAUGHT ON THE WING. A Deputy Sheriff's W&tchfalness in Serving b'nlrcenas Well Illustrate!. "Is your name Coffin!" was the question put to a gentleman just leaving tho federal court room yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sherilt Wolf. "Yes." was the reply. "Charles H. Coffin." "I have . subpoena for yon," was the deputy'a unwelcome announcement. "You are hereby Til waive the reading." said Mr. Coffin, "What's tbe case!" "David J. Hoerner in a suit in the Wayne Circuit Court against you for a note of S4.&SO." This ended the colloquy, and Mr. Coffin will now bo compelled to go to Richmond to defend the suit, or sutler it to go by default. The hearing Is sot for Nov. a The plaintiff's attorney was very anxious to get personal service on Mr. Coiiin, or otherwise tbe suit would have to be entered in another State, where the defendant resides, at considerably greater cost. m COLD-BLOODED FATHER. Poor Alice Chizzam, the Outcast Suicide, Spurned Even in Death. Readers of the Indianapolis Journal will remember the death of Alice Chizznm, the unfortunate girl who committed suicide at2t'0 West Washington street the other day. The girl formerly resided on a farm with her patents near Colfax, and her romains wre shipped therefor interment. The morning they arrived at Colfax the dead girl's father walked in to see if the body had been shipped. When he ascertained froui the station-master that the body had arrived ho coldly said: Well, chuck the box in the depot. Pll be in tomorrow -with tho wagon to get it." This aroused the indignation of several of the good citizens, and Chizznm. much against his wishes, was compelled to get a conveyance and take tho body out that day. , -. e i - Atuuiamcnti.

GREAT EVENT IN CLUB LIFE

MrF. May Wright Sewall Drinks Together Many Prominent Women of the State. Notable Social and Literary Gathering at the TropyJaiam Toasts by Mrs. Emerscn Brown, 3Irs. Carlton nnd Others. A notable event in tbe social and club annals of Indianapolis was the party given by Mrs. May Wright Sewall yesterday afternoon at the Propyheum. The friends were invited to meet Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Hrown, of East Orange. N. J., president of the Federation of Women's Clubs. Club life in this State is a feature of woman's existence. It has taken her from her oldtime domesticity and frivolity and brought out the best powers of which she is capable. Consequently, in the Federation of Women's Clubs. Indiana is well represented. Mrs. Sewall, as a leader in things intellectual and elevating for women, a charter member of tbe Woman's Club and largely identified with other organized bodies of women and men, is hotter able to call together so noteworthy a gathering than perhaps any other one person in the State. The invitations, issued aome ten days ago, read: "Reception at 2 o'clock, address at 3 o'clock, tea and toast at 4 o'clock." ThePropyhenm, attractive enough in itself, was beautitied with plants and flowers, and on assemblage, which included tbe intellect, beauty and gracu of the clubs of the State. Mrs. Sewall and Mrs. Hrown received in the west parlor, assisted by the associate hostesses, Airs. E. F. Hodges. Mrs. Moore, Mra. John E. Cleland, Mrs. A. M. Robertson, Mrs. Geo, F. Adam, Mrs. Lillian Wright Dean, Miss Haldwin, Mis Howland and Miss Moore. These ladies were each provided with lists of from twelve to twenty guests, whom they met as soon as the greetings had been exchanged. Ato o'clock tho company was invited to the cast parlor, e.ich sub-hostesscon-ducting the ladies named on her list to a section of the seats provided. Mrs. Sewall made a brief introductory speech, in which she stated that tho members of the Woman's, the Katharine Merrill, the Fortnightly, tho Clio nnd the Minerva club, tbeollicers or two members from each of the thirty-nine clubs in tbo State had been included in tho list of invitations, to meet the representative of tbo united clubs of the country. Mrs. Hrown was then introduced, and read a paper on "Tho Federation of Worn, on' a Clubs, Its Advantages and How to Securo Them," an address elegant in diction and comprehemsivo a9 to idea, the brief outline of which was followed in a tdk with Mrs. Hrown by a Journal reporter, and which appeared Thursday morning. The paper was one which would inspire every club woman present, whose club was not joined to the federation, anxious to be unlisted in tho ranks. The company was then invited to the assembly rooms for the third part o! tho prescribed programme tea and toast. "TEA AND TOAST." The sections with their hostesses following in tho order in which they entered the east parlor. The hall was a picture. From a center, tables radiated in star shape, and between each arm of tho star were other oblong tables. Each was embellished with lighted candles, smilax and Marechai Niel roses. Tho coloring, as iar an possible, was in blue and yellow, and the center of the star was a pyramid of yellow chrysanthemums. Mrs. Sewall, Mrs. Hrown, Mr, A. J. Halford, of Washington, and Mr. Sewall, (the last two the only gentlemen present), and ladiaa were at the tables at tho west end of tho str.r. Each sub-hostess presided at tbo other tables and had ono of the seniors of the Girls' Classical School to assist in eerving the guests. At each plate was a "toast" card. The outside was embeliishtd with a picture of a book with a. blue stocking and a yellow garter thrown over it, tho guest's name, and on the back, in gilt, Mrs. Fewall's autograph, "Compliments, May Wright Sewall, Oct. 23, 1SD1." After the tea, toasts followed. Mrs. Sewall. who explained the significance of tho chosen colors yellow, which means intellect, and blue, which stands for reason happily brought forward each one, who responded with a delightfully complimentary word. The first response, "The Clubablo Woman," was by Mrs. Lilla McDonald Ketcbam, president of the Katharine Morrill Club. "The couplet," "I am not only witty myself, but am the cans? that wit is in others' women." A bright speech, in which she regretted than HenJonson had coined so awkward word, and hoped that his departed spirit micht hear the worse ono, "unclubable.' Then she delicod in characteristic terms the clubablo woman. The second toast, "The Woman in Husiness," was given by Miss Caroline U. Hendricks, wherein she pictured the business woman of to-day and cleverly touched npon the subject of the ballot. As both sides of every question should be heard, she quoted from an old verse that "Woman, lovelv woman, was only, meant to love." Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith, president of the Helen Hunt Club, of Cambridge Cilv, responded to the toast "Our Country Friends in Clubs." The club to which she belongs limits membership to tho mothers and daughters. Mis. Meredith's chief point was that club life ebould induco rational conversation. Said she: "The church does not make Christians, tho university does not make students; will woman's clubs make rational conversation!" The Southern Woman's Club was spoken of by Mrs. John M. Judah, a member of tbo Woman's Club here, who now resides in Memphis, Tenn. Mrs. Jndah pictured the Southern woman as idealists would have her indolent, loving ease and spurning care, and they pictuted her as being anything but that, capable of great industry, and boroiein, and worthy of respect, one who could nurse, or preside at a dinner, speak French or make soft soap, aud a valuuablo aid in the mental and physical affairs of life. Mrs. Annie Ames Spruance epoke of "Our Common Home." which 6ho took our Propybcum to be. Hor address was very interesting. "The Non-club Woman" was by Mrs. Emma N. Carlton, of the Amaranth Club, of New Albany, and was a brilliant and witty response. The addiess was as follows: "inn Jjox-CLUU woman." Blest be tho man who llrat invented sleep, said BanchoTanza. Blest bo the good invention by wLich everybody is provided with somebody who is glad to see hi in, said Eincraou; and, in extension, be It said, blest bo the inventor of woman' clubs, in which everybody is glad to seo everybody else. Though a Ehakipeareau critic has said that "two women placed together mate eold weather," experience uttests that number of women collected in fair amenably argue infallibly for a f unshluy, social and intellectual ntuiosphere. The clul woman is here multltudiiiOUitly to speak for herself, and to the non-club woman, wlietber her absence be voluntary or compulsory, he extends greetings of heartfelt sjupntby. It has been wittily said of us that "no two women are alike, while men cau be done up la bundles." and tho nou-club woman, like manifestations of malaria, is so numerous and varied as to discourage classification. Thero is the non-club wou.au eniineutly well qualified, but restrained by environment, such a. Mter Hacar, the lovely and intelligent nun in Frank gtockton'e ,,Houe of Martha," of whom her dlvertliiK loer Mid 'it was a shame to shut such a woman up in a houce in which he never had anything latere stiuir to talk aK)ut. and never anybody interested to talk to." There is tho ardently-ambitious woman, hampered by ignorance, liko llumliu tlarlaud's "lrairie Heroine" Creeshy. who voiced her woes in the bojx'Ion and bitter plaint: I hate to live; I ain't never been any place, nnd I don't know nny thm?. Life is the siiue thing over and over, and no Mot up. " Ihe n there i the wholly unlearned and blandlj indifferent woman, uch n Arthur Mketchly' deliciou Mrs. Brown, with her lofty (tcorn of literary thinjrs icenerally. Of other than chil women, there I the business woman, hampered by tLo iiiutticient number of hour in a day; the domestic woman, dore to death by her on darning needle; the timid woman, who avei that ix trained nures wouldn't l.e us?? cifiit to iu ld her up it the bad to read a paper in pa lie; nnd that other Mnpular creature whe ambition it Is to to lne that at tho List day he may rice and claim the dUtlnclin of neer having iecn a "jiuer" of any defoliation. l ur all these, in nil conditions of servitude, the club won an l.an i ut tender recret at.d 5 oft breathing of -mupsri"ii. Our pyiupoMuiuftaie held on cnehniitrd ground. We are having srood times, ami t'u; non-ch;b wemau li not in them. Here would her faculties expsnd in full bloom, shine out and reach their proper use. Here

could she "suck the sweets of sweet philosophy, talk logic with acquaintance. LaT muslo and iHey to quicken her. and fall upon metaphysics as Per pleasure serve." Here would she find out how much le?s she knows than others, and. Incidentally, perhir. how much more; for here the woman who knows little pinches her lips together discreetly and dt uowu f earlely by the fildc of the woman who looks like she knew it all. 6he is braced up by the dictum of the beloved autocrat that the wisest woman you talk with is icnornnf of something you yonrnclf know. Here the man jieraoir 1 rated at his iroper Inferiority, an t unless be has dono something noteworthy iu a literary way his namo is never heard. Here no harassing domestic problems Intrude. and the mistress is temporarily a blgirer man than the maid. Here no class distinctions p1ear and the woman who meekly helps her insband hunt his collar-button Is wet on equal terms by tbe strong-minded peron who wouldn't hand a man a towel to keep him from dying a wutery death. " Here we exchanso thoughts when we have them, and we express views when the lieteuinff conditions are favorable. Socially wo sparkle, intellectually we dazzle, and if there 1 anything thnt we do not know we are clever enough not to let it ?et outWhy, then, should we not mourn for the deprivation or the non-club vtoaianf Would that all were with us in tills charming Canterbury pilgrimage. OTI1KR OFFKMNGS. The iinal toasts were brief. Mrs. Sewall regretted that one expected guest. Miss Florence Balgarnie, was detained by illness. Mr. Halford was called upon and spoke of olnb women and Indianapolis women in particular, paying high compliments to their intellectuality. Mrs. Brown mentioned her visit to the Fropylaccm. the entrance to the Acropolis, aud compared it with tbe one in which she was. Mr. Sewall made a brief talk, and the guests departed, making their adieux from the reception-room. Mrs. Brown left last night for her home and the other visiting ladies will leave to-day.
