A funeral of a child occurred on Kansas treet. Sunday, in a family named Marcus. In this caeo death had resulted from diphtheria. A health officer was detailed to attend tho f nneral. and when he reached tho hocsa ho was astounded to learn that a Jar g o number of email Sunday-school scholars wcro to take part in tho funeral exercises at the Iionse. The people were rery much incecsad when thay were told that the children could not, under any circumstances, enter tho house. This is but one of the many Instances of total disregard for the public, cauecd.no doubt, by ignorance. The health board complains that there are a lew physicians in the city who axercise the right to take down contagious die 'A". cards. This is a thing that comes entirely under the supervision ol the department of health. The law requires that where cases of contagious diseases exist tho house should be carded at least two weeks and it rests entirely with tho -board to order them np for a longer time. Cases have been reported where physicians have taken down cards before twoweekj had elapsed. SURPRISED THE CONSTABLE. Given a GentlaEack-Ihndertja Wife-Beater Jnat Ij Way of Illustration. Herman Cordis, a brick manufacturer, was arrested by Constables Sorters ard Marer, yesterday, to answer a charge of assault and battery on his wife, and also to defend himself in a surety-of-peaco proceedings, brought by his wife. Ho denied striking his wife when the warrant was read. Why," said he, "I only slapped her on the cheek with the hack of my hand, like this." As he spoke he illustrated on Constable Marcr, giving him a blow on the cheek, which, he says, ho felt for an hour. The constable says he will permit no more illustrations of assaults by defendants. Cordis it said to have an income of &oo periuonth. His wife, who has heme him thirteen children, has papers prepared for a petition for divorce, and will ask the court for a restraining order to prevent her husband from disposing of his property pend- . ins tho trial. Cordis gave bond for his appearance in Juitico Feibleman's court. s Senator Iogalla'a Lecture. Mr. IngalU's lecture at the Grand Operahonsoon next Monday evening deals with matter that affords him an opportunity to show at their best those powers that made him a force in the Senate and on the stump.

BRICK PAYING CONTRACTS

Tho ttoard of Public Works Thinks tho Contractors Are Slow with the Work. ; Some of the Contracts for Crick Pay id Can not Be Finished Thi3 Fall-Sellers -Farm Sqnahbie Municipal Matters. Superintendent James, of the Minnehaha Granite Company, which has the contract for putting down a brick pavement on South Meridian street, was called up before the Hoard of PuLlio Works yesterday morning to explain why the company has not yet begun to lay the concrete. "Von promised to begin laying that concrete last week," said Mr. Defrees. "What is the cause of the delay?'' "You'll have to talk to the manager about that," said James. "One thing that holds ns back is the diCicnlty experienced in getting brick here. We have l.COO.000 brick, but the railroad company won't furnish cars." "Remember that contract is to bs completed by Nov. 1," chimed in President Conduitt, "and yonr contract has not been extended." After some more desultory talk James disappeared, and City Engineer Mansfield was called in to tell how things are progressing. Hardly a single contract for a brick pavement has been 1st that will be completed by tho timo specified. The contracts for the South Meridian, Cob urn and South Delaware-street pavements provide for the completion of the work by Nov. 1, yet the chances are ten to one that not even one will be finished by that time. The concrete has been laid on Coburn street, but the pavement cannot be laid in a week's time. Timo and again the contractors have been called before tho board and efforts made to hurry them up, but some tort of an excuse is always ottered. In the caso of the South Meridian-street improvement tho contractor claims that the railroad company cannot furnish cars to get the brick here. The Pearl-street contract expires Nov. SO. and the contractor docs not eveu know now where he is going to get brick to lay tho pavement. In caso these contracts have to layover nntil next spring it will bo impossible for the public to use tho streets. In one or two case) this failure to carry out the contract in tho specified time is due to the fact that tho contractor has too much work on his hands. Rejected AU the Hid. Yesterday was the day set by the Hoard of Public Works for awarding the contraot to paint the bridges over the canal at Ohio, New York, Vermont, Walnut, St. Clair, Fiiat, Second, Fourth and Fifth streets. Five bids were received onjthe work, as follows: J. li. Miller, $552; Gustin & Ellis, $91: J. M. Cook. $200; August Riehter, sr., 408; Millette &. Ualvin. fl53. When the bids were opened last Monday they were referred to City Engineer Mansiield. Yesterday he reported that the bid or Gustin fc Ellis vras the lowest but that since submitting it they had refused to accept the contract. The next lowest bidders, Willette & Galvin, had also refused to accept the contract and. therefore, the city engineer recom mended that the contract be awarded to J. M. Cook, who guaranteed his work for livevcars, at $200. "Those bids will all ho rejected," eaid President Conduitt, who all through the session hobnobbed with a crusty temper. "It looks to me as though those fellows had put their heads together to lleece the city." 13 ids for painting the bridges will boreadvertised for. Sellers Farm Squabble Luther Mchring and his attorney, Frank McCrea, were befora the Doard of Pnblio Works yesterday morning to present a matter pertaining to the sub-letting of Sellers farm. Mr. Mehrlng has been paying $70 a year on seventy feet. He has subrented the strip for a period of five years, and claims that Samuel Kauh & Co., the lessees, want to raise the price to $125 a year, which he thinks is entirely toohigh. Martin Burke, ho lays, another sub-renter, only pays 35 a year for two acres, and others pay proportionately less. Attorney McCrea agreed to bring in a plat showing the ground occupied by the different tenants, but President Conduitt said it would be bettor to wait until it was seen what lessee Kauh intends to charge other tenants. McCrea said his client wanted to occupy thirty feet more ground, and would bo willing to pay a reasonable extra amount of rent. It was decided to wait and get a scalo of the rents to be chargod. Opening of Jsck Street Mr. John R. Leonard came before the Board of Pnblio Works yesterday morning to ascertain whyJeck street was not to be opened through property owned by tho Weghorst heirs. Ileuaidhis object in opening the street was to have it Improved, and he thought it ought to bo opened both ways, although ho did not want to force condemnation proceedings upon Mr. WegLorst. He was informed by President Ccudnitt that Mr. Weghorst had opposad tho opening of the street at his end, and the board had taken final action ou tho matter. Tho other day Mr. Leonard sent a letter to the board asking that final action be postponed nntil the other end co-Id be opened. He said it was more important that the street should be opened through the Weghorst property than through his. as the latter had been thrown open to travel for two years and there was no access to the other end. Mr. Leonard has some recourse, but not much. MM Parlnz-Aneciment Notifications. Yesterday a North Delaware-street property-owner came before the Board of Pubho Works to inquire if it was too lato for him to tako advantage of the Barrett law in paying his assessment for tho asphalt pavement just completed. He said he had been out of town, and when he returned he found a notification that the time would be up the following day. As the letter was not received by him for two or three days after it had been written, he was too late. President Conduitt informed him that there is nothing in the charter that makes it incumbent on any city otlicial to notify property-owners of the date on which the timo expires for taking advantage of tho Barrett law. Hereafter City Engineer Mansfield will send out written notices as a matter of accommodation to property-owners. Aroused the President's Ire. The board received tho following communication from F. A. Hethcrington, wbioh was intended to be very funny: Please accept my tn.inkt for your prompt attention to the complaint mode f send you a proof photo print of tho cart and man in tho act or cutting tho alley down to normal grade, also a l ictvire of the tin-pile, wLich wo tiust will also disappear within bounds. P. 2?. Py the way, why not have an official fibotogrnpher to ttio Board of Public Works to ollow up contractors, street sweepers, etc.! Would sufget also that the oiliclal photographer stroll down Washington street any lino morning about 7 a. M. and get pictures of tho porters of nearly every etoro la the act ot sweeping the store rubbish out on to the asphalt pavements. "That man's a darn fool." exclaimed President Conduitt in a diguiried tone naho gazed at the masterpit co ox art before mm. Ilarrold Can Ha a but 0700 a Week. Last week the Journal published the fact that the Board of Publio Works intended to cut down the streot commissioner's weekly pay-rolls. Yesterday a communication waa directed to Mr. Ilarrold notifying him that hereafter his weekly pay-rolls must not exceed $7iX Already the force lias been red reed and no men re main but those who have teams. Minor Keluttrn. Tho board yesterday adopted a declaratory resolution for the opening of a fortyfoot street along Hubbard's South Meridianstreet addition, from Meridian to Union street. A resolution was also adopted for the opening or tho first alley west of Delaware street, from Fifth street to the south line ot Vajen's third addition. The con

tract for improving East Washington street, from Stato to Rural, by filling in the ditches, was awarded to Hudson & Buchanan at 22 cents a square yard. City Kncineer Mansfield's estimate of the cost

of tho worfe was Where Was the Inspector? 3Ir. .Watson, who owns property on North Meridian street, between Twentieth and Twenty-sixth streets, announced to the Board of Publio Works yesterday morning that the manner in which the im provement is being made would leave his property unprotected from a water over flow. The city engineer was directed to stoD the improvement at the north line of Twentieth street. The board professed that it had not been aware that the con tractor bad failed to make the improveprovement in accordance with the profile. Ilutldlngs Condemned. The board yesterday took final action ou the following building condemnations: No. 271) East Ohio street, owned by Christian Kartman: No. 70 North Illinois street. owned by E. C. Miller and Julia Rice; No. 28 West Market street, owned by Hannah feilvens: Nos. 06 to 71 Marsachnsetts avenue, owned by Henry D. Pierce; No. 77 North Illinois street, owned by John O'Brian: No. 2S9 North New Jersey street, owned by Connecticut Mutnral Life Insurance Company. Those Slow Connections. The Board of Public Works has asked City Attorney Bailey to prepare an ordinance compelling owners of property to make sewar, gas and water connections, and bring such inside tho curb line of streets before permanent improvements are put down. Incase of the refusal of a property-owner to make these connections the board wants authority, by ordinance, to compel it. Municipal Notes. Messrs. John Appel and Charles Gormen were yesterday appointed appraisers to tlx benehts and damages in numerous street opening and vacation proceedings. A potition was yesterday filed by residents on Twelfth street, between Pennsylvania and Meridian streotc, asking that the street bo improved by grading and graveling. The board yesterday ordered the honses on Douglass street, between North and Michigan streets, renumbered, on the recommendation of City Engineer Mansfield. The board yesterday ordered tho owner of the building at tho corner of St Clair and Massachusetts avenue to erect three fire escapes, on thorecominendationJofiBuilding Inspector Fitchey. T. Finkerton Taggart was yesterday granted poimision by the Board of Public Works to grade and gravel a part of tho Bluff road at his own expense, under the supervision of the city engineer. Tho Warren-Schnrf Asphalt Paving Company reported to the board that the pavement on Seventh, from Mississippi to Alabama, had been finished, and asked for the. final estimate The Market-street pavement was also reported ccmploted. City Engineer Mansfield yesterday sent a communication to the Board of Pnblio Works asking that the Indianapolis Paving Company be compelled to 1111 tho space between the edge of brick and the street car company's rails with mortar. This ho says is necessary to prevent bricks working under tho Han go of t ae rails. The paving company has rotated to do the wcrk, but the board will try its hand at compelling it to do it Browder & Shover, contractors, were yesterday granted an extension of their contract nntil Juno. 1, 1692, for improving with brick the iirt alley south of Georgia street, from McCrea to Meridian street. The reason for the postponement is that the contractors have been enjoined from continuing tho work by the Superior Court pending the hearing of a suit brought against the Union Railway Company by Edward Claypool. FELL THIRTY FEET. Tuo Painters Seriously Injured by tho Fallicg of a Scaffold Yesterday. A thirty-foot scaffold gave way yesterday afternoon at 2:50, at the residence of J. F. Carson, at 831 North Pennsylvania street, and James McMahon and Joseph M. Barns, two painters who were at work, were precipitated to tho ground. Burns' s back was severely wrenched and his left leg was sprained so that temporarily, at least he has lost the use of it. He was conveyed to his home at 112 Shelby atreet by Powers & Blackwell. McMahon was also seriously injured, his back being sprained and his right arm badly maimed. Kregelo & Whitsett's ambulance conveyed McMahon to his home at 42 Yandes street, whero he received medical attendance. Efficient Railway Mall Clark. Five railway nail clerks were examined at Major Hltt's office in the federal building yesterday and show remarkable percentages in efficiency as to the throwing of mail. Their rating is as follows: Otto Miller, 100; C. U. Webster, Samuel Clark, T. M. Smallwood and William Wyatt eaoh 99. The test is to throw the cards addressed to dirl'ereut offices, many of them obsccre. out-cf-the-way stations, to tho routes that will soonest take them to their destination. Fcr instauco. in thiowiug to Chrisman, 11!., a letter would, in the afternoon, be sent by the Indianapolis & Peoria route to Danvillo instead of by the direct route to Chrisman by the L, 1. &. S.. as it would get to that post office some hours sooner. Mr. Miller, of Major Hitt'scffice, iliasirates this by saying that when within sight of Cloverdale, making np mail on the train he has thrown letters for that place to Louisville, as tbey would in that way get to Clovcrdald two hoars sooner than if loft at the statiom Religious and Worldly Enterprises. Something out of the ordinary was a paper filed with the Secretary of State yesterday. It was the articles incorporating "The First Church of Christ," Logansport, for the teaching of Christian science, or, as setl forth in tho articles, "the object and purpose of the organization shall be the worship of God, and to increase and spread abroad a knowledge of tho spiritual will and purposo of God toward man. as set forth in tho revelations known as tho Old and Now Testaments." Articles for a lesa spiritual enterprise, to be known as tho L. It. ctorra Lumoer company, or Indianapolis, were al.o filed. Tho capital stock is nlaced at $29,000. with C. L. Storrs. Will iam Bosson, Augustus L. Mason and Frank Shcrwm as stockholders. New Madison Road. Hon. Charles A. Korbly.of Madison, Ind., was a visitor on tho fioorof tho Board of Trade yesterday. He is one of tho gentle men interested in tho proposed new South ern line of railroad, and expected to meet with tho board's committee having this enterprise under consideration, but the meet ing had heen postponed on request of aid ney E. Haigh, chairman of the Madison Merchants' and Manufacturers' Club's committee on railroads. Mr, Haigh writes that ho will bo prepared to meet with the local Board of Trade in a few days, and hopes to present some information which will interest tho citizens of Indianapolis. Ah soon as advico is received from him the Board of Trade a committee will be called together. Chrysanthemum Show. The chrysanthemum show this year has been extended in its details and enlarged as to its special features. The signal suc cess achieved heretofore will doubtless be surpassed, thus increasing Indianapolis's reputation as a center where flowers, as well as everything else beautilul and artistic, find the widest encouragf-inent. The show will open atTomlinson Hall Nov. 10. An official programmo will soon be issued, as matter for it prepared bv Edward Bingbam Is about complete. No other programme will be allowed m the hall. Grief Drove Hint Crazy, Abijab. Cassel was yesterday declared a person of unsound mind and ordered committed to the hospital. Grief over the loss of relatives by death has unsettled his mind.

WILL -HIBERNATE A WIIILE

People's Natural-Gas Company ViiW Give Up the Effort Until Spring. Operations to Ce Kencwcd then with Yieor Canses That Have Militated Against the Success of the Work. The People's Natural-gas and Light Company, of Indianapolis, will go into a state of partially suspended animation for the winter. That is to say, no stops in the work of construction or drilling wells will be taken until next siring. Attorney Charles Thompson, ono of the most active promoters of this enterprise, who was seen by a Journal reporter last evening, stated that tho above decision bad been reached by tho board of directors. "Whatever progress the People's Natural-gas and Light Company has made," said Mr. Thompson, "has been in the face of unusual obstacles. The long and hotly contested city campaign had the effect to distract attention and direct it into other channels. Then the fight that was made to prevent the company from coming into the city had the eifcot to retard and restrict subscriptions to stock, and delay the work of construction. This opposition has been overcomo and tho company is now at liberty to enter and occupy its territory. The series of articles published iu the News also had a most discouraging eflect, weakening as they did publio confidence in tho permanence of tho enpply. causing the withdrawal of a number of stock subscriptions and rendering it more difficult to get new ones. The refutation of the Now s theories, however, has had a tendency to restore public confidence and tho ovil effects of the News crusade are wearing away. Somo ground also has been lost by extensions of the Indianapolis company into territory that the People's company had hoped to cccup3. In spitoof all tho forces and elements that havo militated against tho Peoplo's company enterprise there are still on the books subscriptions to six thousand shares representing $150,000." PLANS OF THE COMPANY. Daring tho coming winter, Mr. Thompson stated, tho work of increasing tho stock subscriptions will be pushed and it is hoped to place 2,500 more shares. The piping of gas by this company is a aubjoct of special interest to tho people of Irvmgton and eastern Indianapolis. It will extend Its main9 to tho southeastern part of the city and will occupy tho territory tributary to Washington street. Tho present plan is to pipe the gas from the territory about Greenfield, which is distant about twenty-five miles. Gas experts from Peunsylvania who recently looked tho Indiana field over gave it as their opinion that this territory will meet nil the reouircments of tho occasion. No leases nave yet been secured nor wells drilled, but this feature of the work will be pushed with the earliest opening of spring. "The People's Gas Company," said Mr. Thompson, is a public co-operative enterprise, and it will bo pushed to success only by the united and enthusiastic oo-oporation of the public. It has no salaried officers, and the time and attention thus far devoted to it has been free and for the general good. Being a public enterprise,, the public which is to reap the benefits should see to it that the work is not permitted to languish and die." For the purpose of informing tho pnblio as to the condition of the affairs of tho company, what is needed and what is expected, a mass-meeting will to held to-morrow evenincr at the Edwin ltay M. E. Church, at Wood lawn avenuo and Linden street The ofiicera ot tho company will bo present and make their statements and the stockholders will advise and consult as to the best means of enlarging the stock subscription list. It is the intention of tho board of directors to commenco.the work of construction as soon as the frost is out of the ground in the spring, and to push it with such expedition that gas can be delivered to consumers by early summer. i ' - AMUSEMENTS. GRAND nOBUnT DOWNISG'S "CLADrATOR." Had eithor or all of the ministers' associations of the city been present at the Grand Opera-house last night, they would, no doubt, have been surprised, perhaps even gratified, at tho deep sympathy exhibited by the audience for tho Christian martyrs who appear in the tragedy of "The Gladiator." This tragedy, written by Saumet, is frequently mistaken for tho play of "Spartacus," which is also ono of Mr. Downing's repertory, but is altogether different, having in its climax a strong resemblance to the greater tragedy of "Virginius." "The Gladiator" is of the epoch when Christians wera fed to the lions in the Roman arena, and Mr. Downing, as Nero, the gladiator, gives to the aucienco a class of acting which, at ono time, had the great Edwin Forrest at tho head, who was sue-? ceeded by John McCullough, and of which Mr. Downing is about the only representative. He is of magnificent physique, with a voice of power, fitting the lines in "Tno Gladiator" "So often havo I fought with lions that their roar Las got into my voice." The house that greeted Mr. Downing and Mies Eugenie Blair, the talented lady who took the leading female role, Neodemia, was as large a Monday-night audience as any actor need want ' to see, as nearly every seat was taken on the main floor and the gallery wos well filled. Over one hundred Knights of Pythias attended in uniform. The play is in five acts, opening with a scene in the catacombs of Borne. The second and third acts give Miss BJair opportunity for quiet but forcoful acting, whilo in tho fourth act, the scene in the arena, where the gladiator discovers tho Christian Neooamia to be his daughter, tho acting was of a character to rouse tho emotions of the audi?nco to a high pitch. The applauso at the fall of tho curtain on this act was strong and continued, and Mr. Downing andMifs Blair camo before the curtain twico in acknowledgment The last act, in which the gladiator hills his daughter, suggests Virginius, and the author of the play, in line with tho suggestion, puts into the month of the gladiator the words. "Why, Virginias did it ence." The part of Flavian, lover of Ncodamia, as given by Fred C. Mosely, was very acceptable, and indicated what he might do in a role of greater compass. Miss Florence Erwin. who has but recently none upon the stngo,-managed the difficult part cf Faustina, the Boman Queen, ono with which an audience would have little sympathy, in a manner that gives promise for the future. The other characters of the play were credltahly done. To-night will bo presented Shakspeare's great historical play of "Julius Caesar." with Mr. Downing as Marc Antony and Miss Blair as Portia. The role of Cassius will be given by Mr. MosrJv, and '.hat of Brntua by Mr. Ferry. Mr. Downing has achieved much reputation in tho character of Maro Antony, having assimilated it much after tho manner in which Lawrence Barrett appropriated and made himself famous in the role of Cassius. exglisi is 4 n'i; nxs a's f li r.T a ti on." 'McKenna's Flirtation" drew only a fair audience at English's last night William Barry, a very capable Irish comedian, has the leading role, and portrays a very enjoyable character in Timothy McKcnna, a contractor, who has a son of the same name. By means of this confusion of names McKenna the elder gets into innumerable scrapes, which culminato in his lighting a dnel in the lat act which does not prove very dieahtious. Tho company is only an average one. During the course of the play several songs und specialties aro Intro duced. "McKenna's Flirtation" will bo seen again t-nirht. to-morrow matinee and to-niorrcw night, I'AKK TIIKATKK "OH, WHAT A NIGHT." Mr. Charles A. Loder has a new play at least, new to him in which to display his capabilities this season, "Oh, What a Night," and the two audiences that packed the Park Theater yesterday manifested their approval of the play and players by

much applause and laughter. The piece is a farcical comedy, with a well-defined plot, and Loder, who is a clsver German dialect comedian, is very amusing in it. He has a capable company, and the performance, taken in its entirety, is abovctbe average. Miss Hnby Lytton is a graceful and expressive actress: Miss Mira Gerrell is a clever soubrette, and really a wonderful dancer, and Miss Josie Sisson, who is well known here, shows her capabilities in various ways. "Oh, Whata Night,"isfull of fun and jolity, and the specialties introduced in it are entertaining. It will run all week. NOTES. The sale of seats for tho season of grand opera, by tho Emma Juch Company, which tegan yesterday, assures large audiences, for the demand was strong and continuous. Miss Juch is to be given a reception by Mrs. C. E. Coffin and other ladies on Friday afternoon; consequently, she does not sing in "II Travatore," but the remainder of the company do. She. however, has great roles in "Cavalleria Knsticana" ( Thursday night), and "Tannhauser" (Fridry -aight) The sale of seats will continue to-day. Mr. John C. Kice, who has developed into a very capable comedian, with his company, which includes twenty-five people, will appear in the new farce-comedy, "A Knotty Ariuir," at the Grand next Thursday night and during the rest of the week. Scats will, bo on sale to-day. m

Gathering Up Counterfeits. The government authorities at this place have taken steps to gather in the counterfeit money afloat in Indiana. Major Carter, of the secret service, has sent notices to aU the banks and other concerns where money accumulates, ordering that all monoy, whether paper or coin, of a spurious character be sent to him that it may be destroyed. So far as Major Carter's observations extend the circulation of counterfeit money iu Indiana is very limited. A few two and five-dollar bills havo got into circulation, but their career id usually cut short at tho first bank whero they are ottered for deposit. The supply of spurious coin is also limited and its construction as a general thing is so buuglesoue that thero is no nso of any one with ordinary wit boing taken in. lluildlng Permits.
