AT THE CLOSING SESSION

Ur. John M. Dopes Is Chosen President of the State Board of Agriculture. Uorr.e to ths Chair cn the Shoulders of Two Hcsculsr Members Other Officers Elected More About the Alleged Bribery. Tbe closing session of the Delegate Board of Agriculture yesterday as uneventful. The members of the delegate board, haying electid the eight members the day before, did not find their services in farther demand, and most of them returned to. their rural bomes. The story of the bribe failed to come out yesterday. It does not really eera any longer a matter of great consequence, as the papers Lave told the story, except in its minor details. Mr. Lockhart appeared willing to rehearse the tale, and the fact that he was has subjected him to a great strain, an equal number of his confreres being on each aide of the question, one faction shouting artell" and the other 'doncner do it." Hon. K. W. Thompson, of Terr Ilaute, wLo was on tbe programme for an address, sent a letter stating that on account of bis age and so much sickness prevailing he deemed it imprudent to come. The address "will be printed in the proceedings of the board, as will also a paper by K. II. Peed, of New Castle, on 'Iireeding and Kaisiug of Horses." and one by Aaron Jones, of hoath Iiend. on "The Danger of the Introduction cf Koxions Weeds." OLD BOAUIS LAST MEETING. At 10:S0 a. 31. tbe delegato board adjourned, and at 1:30 r. r. tbe State board proper went into session. A communication was read from J. I- Robinson, of this city, presenting a claim for 50 for assisting the board to obtain the good opinion of the Etate press and the people of Indianapolis. Tt was moved that the claim be not entertained, and that tbe letter be returned to 'him. The motion carried. Messrs. Lockhart, Sieg and Sankey were appointed to draft resolutions reoognizinsc the services of W. Ii. Seward to the board during his twenty years of membership. Mr. Stsward is a manufacturer, not a farmer, .and his training and business education had made him especially valuable to the board, it will be remembered tbat he was one of the fctate-house Commissioners. Snmuel Bowman was re-elected as the board's representative on the Indiana Live-stock Commission. . - A resolution was adopted that hereafter the superintendent of the fair shall pay all moneys collected to tbe seeretary, who, in turn, sball pay them to the treasurer, and that no money sball be paid out bv tho superintendent, except on the order of the secretary and treasurer. Fapers were read by Hon. James A. Mount on "County Fairs," by Mrs. L, D. 'Vorley on "Dairy Interests in Indiana," and by Mrs. Virginia C. Meredith on Woman's Department of tho World's Colombian Exposition." NEW HOARD ORGANIZES. After transacting some minor business as A wind-up of the career of tbe old board President Banks said, "There being no further business before the board. I declare this present Board of Agnculture now and. forever more adjourned," and the little hickory gavel fell with a thud that meant a deathknell to members Berry, Seward and MeClung, and the birth of a two years' work to members McCoy, Howland and Harris, desolations of respect and good will were passed by the old board, just prior to adjournment, upon W. li. Seward, one of tbe retiring members, who has been on tho State Board of Agriculture for twenty years. Half an hour was spent in chattmcr and - holdin g a requiem mass over the dead board, and at 3:45 Secretary Bagley. the only, officer who survived tbe death of tbe old board, rapped for order. Mr. Lockhart moved that Mr. Sankey, a hold-over from the Ninth district, be made temporary chairman, and there being no objection. "the evangelist." as Mr. Sankey is affectionately called, took tbe seat. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. He announced that the new board would proceed at onco to prepare their ballots for the election of officers, that of president coming nrst. Members Feed and Howland, the youngest and most active members of the board, were appointed tellers, and the election proceeded forthwith. The result of the first ballot showed little opposition to Mr. John M. Boggs, of the Twelfth district, as tbe choice for tbe presiding officer, he receiving 11 yotes; J. (J. A. Seig ' (born in John Quincy Adams's reign, and named for that statesman). 2. and James F. McCoy, the newly-elected successor of ; Mr. Berry, from tbe Second. 1. Tbe members then began to scribble for the vole for a vice-president. This resulted in the election of Mr. jasper X. Davidson - by eight votes, just enough to constitute a choice; Mr. Sankey received four, and Mr. Harris and Mr. Maze one each. For theoftice of secretary thero was no opposition, Mr. Leon T. Bagley, the present incumbent receiving a nnaminous vote of tbe board. The same was true of Mr. Sylvester Johnson, the treasurer, all fourteen votes being cast for him. Mr. E. H. Feed, tho member from the Eighth district, was also the unanimous choice of tbe board for general superintendent. Mr. C. E. Merritield. tho superintendent for four years, not being a candidate for re-election. . For executive committee, four to elect, the members receiving the greatest number of votes were Banks. Otllcer. Sankey and Maze, and they wero declared duly elected. Messrs. Hamilton and Davidson were absent on account of sickness, but sent their proxies to Secretary Bagley on the vote for president. MR. DOGGS ESCORTED TO THE CIIA1R. Messrs. Banks, Maze and Jones were appointed a committee to escort tho new president to the chair. The word "escort" implies dignity, trust and honor of bearing, but in this case it proved a misnomer, for as soon as the escorting com mittee had been named, those gentlemen buttoned nn . their coats and spat upon their hands as they glared in a business-like manner at Mr. Boggs. "Grab him by the leg," said Mr. lUnks as he made a dive for Boggs's right shin much after the fashion of a butcher throwing a frisky shoat. "I'inion bis arms there. Jones," said Maze, and up they boosted tbe new executive ou their ehouMcrs and boro him to the chair, kicking liko a two-year-old jnst broken to harness. Tho whole, allair was highly ludicrous, and suggested a "rush" in the Vvr-due-Butler foot-ball game more than anything els., l'resident Boggs, after he had gotten his breath, said that ho was neither an athlete nor a speech-maker, but' he hoped tbat. with the assistance of the board, he would b able to fulllil tbe requirements of his office to tbe satisfaction of all. and tbat the first fair cn the new grounds would bo worthy of the State. Hiram Houghton, on behalf of the manufacturers, again asked tbe board for advice regarding tho moving of their exhibit halls. It had been understood by the implement men tbat they must have their buildings off the grounds by March 2. but the president announced that tbe time had been extended to May 1, so Mr. Houghton said tbat would satisfy alL Representatives from the Cen- , tral Labor Union and the Indiana Carpenters' Union appeared before the board to t press their claims in bebalf of securing the assurances of the board tbat thev would employ nDion men in the construction of their dmt building. Bruce Curr presented tbe - etforts of John Lackey and Ueorge Bronson. of Cambridge City, to secure the lease of the track ou the new grounds. These gentlemen propose to lease th track for fiftr-oue weeks in the year, and promise to xnako it in every respect the greatest racecourse in Indian, and in tinm one of the greatest in the Went. Mr. Bronson spoke Ltrnftclf a few moments, aud reiterated thee statrme uts. Tb amount of the treasurer's bond was Jef t for the executive committee to fix. This forenoon the board will go to tbe Id fair grounds and decide upon which

buildings are, ready to be torn down at once. The next meeting will be held on Saturday. Feb. ft. Frior to the adjournment for the afternoon. Mr. Mitchell presented the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That when the fitting up of tbe new fair grounds begins that no contracts be awarded to any member of the board, either directly or lndireetlr, as, should such contracts be so awarded to member of the board, their Individual Interests would become pat amount to the board's Interests. Dined at the Colombia Clab. The State Board of Agriculture was entertained at the Columbia Club last night by Mr. A. L. Wishard. Mr. Wishard was the principal hustler for the Shimer farm in the tight for the location of the new fair Bite. Notwithstanding the fact that the Shimer place was the only one of the four tbat didn't geta smglevote in theballoting for a choice, yet Mr. Wishard saw lit to heap coals of tire by taking the board out to a hot quail supper at the Columbia Club. Senator Mount's Taper. Senator J. A. Mount, of Sbannondale, read an excellent paper on "County Fairs, Their Local Value and Their Kelation to tbe Stato Fair,11 beforo the State Board of Agriculture yesterday afternoon. The Senator's views seemed to exactly coincide with those of the members of the board, and much applause greeted the reading of the paper. Tbe Indiana Dairymen's Association made him an honorary inembertfat its meeting last night. Will Investigate To-1) ay. It was rumored last night that the State Beard held a secret caucus for the purpose of ''considering the boodle investigation." Ex-President Banks and President Boggs denied tbe rumor, and said tbat nothing whatever had been done in the matter, but that probably it would be brought up this morning when the board returned from the old lair ground.

LABOR TEMPLE ASSOCIATION. Its Similarity to the Consumers' Ga? Trust Hakes It Obnoxious to Members. ! The attendanco at the meeting in the Criminal Court room last night, which was called by the railroad organizations, was not largo, but was composed of an earnest body of wage-earners. H. M. Mount was called to preside and William Hugo was made secretary. " Tbe topic of discussion was the form of organization of tbe Labor Temple Association. It is based npon the law regulating trusts, passed March 6, 1889, and, in Judge Howe's opinion, must be wholly and absolutely a trust, thus giving the entire power to the board of trustees. Tbe only objection broached by speakers was to Article X. which makes tbe trustees self-perpetuating, aud to Article XII, which is as follows: The title to and control of all property, real and personal, of said corporation, and the control of all its capital stock, and the power to collect and disburse nil its revenues and funds, from whatever source, and the power to make all contracts for and in behalf of said corporation, shall be forever vested in said board of trustees and their successors in office. In trust, to carry out the objects of said corporation, subject to the conditions and limitations expressed in tbeso articles. The opposition to a self-perpetuating board with such powers was led by Mr. Tamm. of German Typographical Lnion. His was one of tbe first unions to take a decided stand against this provision and to suggest something different Mr. Tamm thought that tbe trustees should merely be custodians of the property and tbat the management should be vested in a board of directors, to be elected by the union. Six of the nine members, be said, should be elected every year, as a guarantee against abuse of power. C. W. Martin pointed out that under the law the organization must either beau absolute trust or a business corporation for profit, in which case the stock must be open to the publio market. He shared, he said, in the objection to the absolute trust plan, and wonld be glad to . learn of some plan by which a part of the powers of the trustees could be given to the directors. Henry Gale suggested that if a change is made in this section several other changes must be made. He favors, he said, a change in tbe objectionable article. The same opinion was expressed .by Mr. Hugo, Mr. Clancey and others. Mr. Bly. of theengineers, said he didn't want to see tbe hands of tbe stockholders tied in this cor poration, as they are in the Consumers' Gas Trust. He wants nothing more than the real estate committed to the control of the trustees. Tbe discussion ended in a motion prevailing for the appointment of a committee of three, to secure further legal advice and to invite Judge Howe to be present at the meeting to-night. Tbe chairman appointed C. W. Martin. Cornelius Kelly and Henry Gale for this work. The meeting then adjourned. The necessary similarity, under the law, of the Labor Temple Association to tho oonoxious Consumers' Gas Trust plan has been a stumbling block in tho way of subscriptions. The point is illustrated in an incident In a meeting of the local division of railway engineers. The subject of the temple was presented by one of tbe members in a glowing speech. He was pleading for a large collective and individual subscription to the capital stock. Iu an unguarded moment be mentioned that tbe association was somewhat in the form of tbe Consumers' Trust. When he bad finished another member arose and said: "Brother . you hadmefeeling enthusiastic oq the labor temple until you mentioned the likeness to the Consumers' Gas Trust. If it's got to bo like that count me out. One experience of that kind is enough in one lifetime." Tho difference between the gas trust and the labor temple organization, is tbat in the former the trustees not only perpetuate their own body, but elect also the directors. In tbe latter association the direotors are to be elected by the stockholders, but can have no powers except such as are delegated to them by the board of trustees. The opposition to the plan is so nnanimous that nnless law is found to permit of the changos desired the success of the project is imperiled. Great interest attaches to the meeting to-night. STATE DAIRYMEN MEET. Several Papers Read by Members New Officers Are Elected, Tho Indiana State Dairymen's Association met at the State-house yesterday afternoon in annual session. Frof. C. S.

Meredith, of Cambridge City, as a shorthorn breeder; Mrs. Calvin Fletcher, of Spencer, as a nolstein breeder, and Mrs. Kate M. Busick, of Wabash, as a Jersey breeder.

Since the great base-ball meeting in this city, a few weeks ago, which resulted in the formation of a twelve-club National League and tho absorption of the old Association, there has been curiosity to know what would become of a number of good ball towns which were "sold out" by the consolidation. It was considered probable that a new league wonld be formed to take up the secondary clubs, and tho idea was very attractive to a host of wonldbe organizers. 'Accordingly John W. Speas, captain of the Kansas City club, sent out a call to eight of tbe principal Western clubs out of the big League, asking their presence at a meeting in Chicago to organize an eightclub circuit. This meeting was held at tbe Wellington Hotel yesterday. There were present from Kansas City J. W. Speas. L. G. KrautholT. Rich Slater. T. C. Bell, R. J. McCarthy and W. H. Holmes; Hy Hach, F. L. Larrabee. Samuel Morton and others, of Minneapolis; Joe Bennett, St. Paul; Gus Schmeiz, Columbus: Bob Leadley, Detroit; R. W. McGuire and J. C. Iversou, Milwaukee; Spud Farrish and Joseph Garneau, of Omaha, and others. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Speas, and Bob Leadley was made temporary secretary. This organization was made permanent. R. W. McGuire, J. W. Speas and Gus Schmeiz were appointed a committee to select a circuit of eight clubs, to receive applications and to arrange for the protection of the league. An adjournment was then taken subject to call. The league will be called the "Central League," and will be composed of Kansas City. Omaha. Minneapolis, St. Paul. Milwaukee, Indianapolis probably, and Columbus and Toledo, subject to certain contingencies. A meeting for the perfection of the organization will be held soon, probably within a week. The following letter has been sent out by J. A. Williams, of Columbns. O.: There will be a meeting In this city on Monday, Jan. 18. et Smith's European Hotel, for tbe purpose of organizing a base-ball league. Similar notices have been sent to tbe cities of Milwaukee, ludiauapolis. Toledo. Buffalo, Kocbester, Syrncuae, Albany and Troy, N. Y., and Toronto, Ont. It Is believed tbat from tbese cities the best and strongest organization In tbe country, outside ot tbo big League, can be forar ed. Ovingtothe excess of good players on tbe marLet there has never been a more favorable opportunity to establish ba?e-bs.U on a paying basis. The twelve-club League !s pledged to encourage and foster minor leagues by Just and equitable dealings. Vies e notify me as early as possible If your city will be represented at the meeting. "Silver" Flint Dying. Anent base-ball topics, word has been received from Chicago that Frank S. Flint, the -well-known catcher, known as "Old Silver," is dying there of consumption.
