The charity organization has issued an appeal for fan da. Printed on the back Is an extract from the last speech of Mr. McCnlloch on charitable work, delivered May 20, 1591. It is as follows, and abounds in that faith in his fellow-citizens which was one of the main-springs of his being: We have in this city a branch of the largest bank In the world. It Is a larger bank than the liank of England, it haa more immense resources than the Rothschild. It Is the Bank or bvmraihy. It la made up of that human Interest vrhlch it older than an Institution, -which is born out of the ancient ktnahip of man to man, which survives the fall and exists to-day. whether expreaslng Itself or not. In the heart of every man, or woman, or chili in the land. Let there be heard anywhere in the land the feeble cry of a little child, and at once a draft la drawn on the Bank of Sympathy in the name of that child, and lta want is met. Let a man fall among thieves la the Jericho road, and a draft Is placed to his credit by a Qood Samaritan, drawn upon the Bank of Human Sympathy. ThU la a great hank, upon which we are accustomed in this city to make lance drafts. We believe it to be practically inexhaustible- It la the faith of some of us that you have but to name a good cause, and you can make drafts on this bank to meet its necessary expenditures.

GENTLE niNT TO THE BOARD

Councilmen Side with the Private Consumer Regarding a Water Contract. v Think His Interests Should Be Looked After Mnrphy'i Committees Orchard-ATenua Bridge Various Minor Matters. HARD ON THE BOARD. Members of Council Think the Private Consumer of Water Should De Heard. Last evening a Journal reporter interviewed a number of members of the new City Council regarding the contract the Board of Public Works has contrived for the Indianapolis Water Company. The epocifio question but by the reporter was whether or not the member interviewed thought the board should have looked after the interest of private consumers as well as after the interest of the city. Mr. Lynn I think the board should have seen to it that some schedule was made for consumers. I have not read the contract and am not prepared to talk about it. Mr. Ryan Has the board a right to make a schedule for private consumers? If I am on the contract committee I will ask that citizens be beard in the matter. Mr. Rassmann I read the contract as published, and noted that there was no reference to prices to be paid by private consumers. It seems to me that is a very important matter. The matter will be investigated thoroughly. Mr. Cooper Prices for private consumers can be adjusted at any time. The prices cannot be increased. Mr. Laut It appears to me that the mattor of arranging prices to be paid for water by private consumers should be attended to. Mr. Schmidt My opinion is that a schedule should be arranged for private consumers. Mr. Colter I have not thought of the matter yet. It should be done, however. It has been attended to in natural and artificial gas. Mr. Murphy My understanding is that the water company's charter provides that the board or Council can at any time fix the rates, if not satisfactory, to the same prices that are paid by other cities of similar size. Mr. Gauss I think private consumers should be considered. Mr. Pnryear The private consumer should be cared for. The Council should see to it that be is not gouged. Mr. Gasper It we make a new contract with the water company the private consumer should be considered and recognized as well as the monopoly. Mr. Allen I want to look the contract over before I express an opinion. Mr. Young l have not read the contract. Mr. Olsen It is the same thing I recommended when chairman of the old water committee. To the question as to whether the private consumer would be cared for he made no answer. MURPHY'S COMMITTEES. Ryan Suddenly Elvatd Gauss, Who Is Committed to Frenzel, on Franchisee. Twenty bright and beaming legislators gathered in the Council chamber last evening. There would have been twenty-one, but Councilman McGill was not there. City Clerk Abrams cautiously ascended the rostrum and timidly tapped , the assembled Solons to order. Upon the desk before him was a flourishing group of rare and radiant flowers. Bat they were for President Martin Murphy, who in a moment would take the gavel from his trembling hand. Each Councilman wore a boqnet on his coat lapel, as did each reporter gifts from John Pearson, of the last Council, who desired to give the new city legislators a pleasant send oft, and indeed they all appeared on the best possible terms with themselves. Councilman Ryan spoke first. He moved that Mr. Murphy be president of the Council for the ensuing term of two years. Mr. Cooper, on behalf of the six Republican members, seconded the motion, and Mr. Gasper asked that the clerk cast the unanimous ballot for Mr. Murphy. "Gentlemen and fellow-members,'1 said President Murphv. T wish to express to you my sincere thanks for the honor conferred upon me. I want to treat yon as well as it is possible for me to do, with all the courtesy due each and every member, no matter which side of the house he is on." Emil C. Rassniann was unanimously elected vice-president, and Mr. Ryan offered rules and regulations for the government of the body. The rules were practically the same as those that governed the preceding Council. Mr. Rassmann ottered a resolution that one hundred copies be printed, together with lists of city officers and committees, and including those portions of the city charter defining the powers and duties of the Council. Mr. White offered the amendment that the city clerk index the work, and the resolution as amended carried. Mr. Rassmann presented a communication in reference to the firemen's pension fund, which was received and referred. A communication was received from the Board of Pnblio Works embracing the proposed contract with the Indianapolis Water-works Company. This was received and referred to the committee on contracts and franchises. . Mr. Rassmann moved that when the Council adjourned it would be to meet on Monday, Jan. IS, and the motion prevailed. President Mnrphy then announced his committees, adding: "I have endeavored to tix these committees in such a way as to give satisfaction to the members and citizens generally, and if I have made any mistakes I will have to ask to be excused.1' The committees were as follows: Accounts and Claims Olsen, McQuffln and Fury-ear. Contracts and Franchises Eyan, Sherer, MoOIU, Cooper, llalloran, Gauss and Allen. Elections Mctiuttin, Laut and Linn. Fees and Salaries llalloran. White and Gasper.

The Council then adjourned, after which President Murphy set np the cigars as in such cases made and provided. Firemen's Relief Fund. Edward Hawkins, president, and Eb IL Leach, secretary of the firemen's pension fund, last night submitted a report to the Council showing that since the organization of the board of trustees. May 20, 1SU1, there has been paid to the treasurer by insurance companies. 1,325.13; from assessments and fines. foOS.51; donations and proceeds of ball. Sl,eiJ.92. making a total of t3.553.5U.

The bonds were purchased at a cost of $3,030.53, leaving a balance in the treasury of $",01.61. Thomas Barrett, William Tobin. William Hensely and William Reasoner .were yesterday elected trnstees of the pension fund by the members of the bre department, who cait their ballots by letter. Mayor Sullivan ami Chief Webster acted as a canvassing board. QjMn'i English by the Queen's Officiate. City Engineer Mansfield is in receipt of the following letter from the Bureau de l'Aquedue, water-works otlice, Quebec, Canada: May I reauest on part of our Mayor and corp that you will kindly let me know what you pay for your electrlo aro lights per diem or per annum, and If or not lit on moonlight nights approx how many lights and what the source cC power, steam or water. Very truly, Cns. Bulla ekge. City Lugr., QuebecWord from a Forgotten Contract. City Engineer Mansfield directed a communication to the Board ot Publio Works j Wednesday morning stating that ho had

received a letter from the Penn Bridge Company, of Beaver Falls, Pa., concerning the iron bridge over Pogne's run at Orchsrd avenue. The company says the iron-work is all completed, ready to ship, but says nothing about shipping it, The contract with the Penn Bridge Company says that the bridge must be put up on or before Dec 1. 1891, otherwise it cannot recover damages for work done. The date at which the contract expired, has long since glided into the past, and still the bridge company displays no anxiety to fulfill its contract, The city should refuse to accept the work. Will There De Room for Tils Whiskers? The Board of Publio Safety will move into the city clerk's present office some day next week and the latter will occupy the office vacated by the board. Building Inspector Fitchey will occupy a comer ct the big room. Engineer's Report. City Engineer Mansfield's annual report was submitted to the Board of Public Works yesterday. His report was the first one to be completed. Some of the others will not be ready until tho iirst of next week. FRANCHISE ASKED FOR.

The Detroit Capitalists Petition the County Commissioners for GrantsWilliam E. Avery, of Detroit, and Charles Jay, of Kokomo, are still here for the avowed purpose of building a street railroad to the fair grounds. They are evidently negotiating with local capitalists, whom they expect to join them in the deal, but who these parties are fs about as uncertain as the identity of the Egyptian mummies which are constantly being unearthed, and called Ptolemy. Both Mr. Avery, of Detroit, and Mr. Jay, of Kokomo. have a pleasant way of saying nothing that at once shackles the cunning of the interviewer, and he goes his way, feeling that the world is not what it seems. Yesterday (about noon these gentlemen took a step which was evidently the result of mature deliberation, but which they may yet have cause to regT6t. They asked the County Commissioners for a thirty-year franchise in the following type-written words: We, Frank E. 8aow, William E. Avery and Charles A. Jay, associates or assigns, ask for a frti chise from your honorable body of County Commissioners to run an electric-car and street railroad from the city limits of Indianapolis to the fair grounds on the Voss farm, along the highway, and the right to build, equip and maintain a street railroad and turnouts, as follows: To rua on the county road or roads, and ta erect poles and run wires, lay rails and ran cars on center of said roads, or along the side of said roads and over bridges, and that the above (now, Avery and Jay) shall within ninety days commence said road, and said franchise is to be for the term of thirty years. The streets herein asked for to run on are Belle fontaine and connecting streets to Fall creek, and from Fall creek to the fair grounds on proposed roads to be opened by the property-owners. The above was handed to Deputy Auditor Johnson by a man who failed to leave his name and cd dress. After Mr. Johnson had allowed his eyes to casually peruse the pages, the messenger said: . " Will you please let me have the franchise? I want to take it over to the Bates House with me. The gentlemen are waiting for it" Mr. Johnson was overcome. At first he thought he would take down a thiry-year franchise from the top shelf, addressed to Messrs. Snow. Avery and J ay, and tied with a neat red ribbon, but. upon more deliberate consideration, he decided to wait until he had consulted the County Commissioners, who were not in seesion yesterday. "Those fellows must think we keep a stock ot franchises on hand waiting for somebody to call for them." said Commissioner FarrelL, who came in later and was shown the document. A Journal reporter saw Messrs. Avery and Jay, at the Bates House, last evening. "Nothing new to-day,w exclaimed the former, rubbing his hands, "but everything is moving along swimmingly. We are well satisfied." "What do you expect the County Commissioners to do!" was asked. "Of course they have to move slowly," said Mr. Jay. 'in order to be sure that they are right. We shall go before them in person in a few days." "How about your route m the cityt Will yon ask the Board of Publio Works for a franchise!" "We have been assured that that will be forthcoming when the time comes," replied Mr. Jay, of Kokomo. Great Caesar's ghost! Can it be that the Board of Pnblio Works has been making promises, or that some Jerson is acting as spokesman for the trumvirate and promising franchises? The messenger who goes to the board for a franchise will not need a basket, but a sanguine temperament will come in right handy. INDIANA'S FAIR BUILDING. Volunteer Work Will Be Fermitted-Method of Commemorating Donations. Executive Commissioner Havens, of the Indiana world's fair board, returned from Chicago yesterday, where he went to take a final look at the plans for the Indiana building, which are being drawn by architect Cobb. Mr. Havens says that the material for the building, both outside and in, will bo of Indiana production so far as is practicable. Many concerns have obtained permission to perform certain work with their own men and material for the advertisement it will be to them. These petitions are granted in so far as the board is assured that the work will not be done with the single eye to displaying it as an advertisement. In on of these volunteers will be allowed to post conspicuously their signs, but the board has conceived the happy and artistic idea of having the names of all donating tradesmen carved in a solid white-oak panel to be inlaid over the old-fashioned rirp-place in the reception-room. This will serve even a better purpose in that it will attract because of its artistic merit, and will not prove as offensive to the eye as a flagrant painted sign. Ten sets of the plans Have been made and will be distributed among the ten largest cities of the State. The building will cost from $30,000 to $40,000, including tho value of tho donated work. A Dramatic Treat. This evening, at the Scottish Rite Hall, a dramatic entertainment will be given by the members, which will undoubtedly be appreciated. The drama, "The Specter Bridegroom, or a Ghost in Spite of Himself," will be presented by the dramatic talent of the membership, the latter being highly spoken of. Those who will take part are Mr. Austin H. Brown, Mr. W. R. Tarkington. Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Rich. Miss Mary Brown, Dr. P. G. C. Hunt, Charles Hutchinson and Dr. T. G. Woodward. Officer Elected.

Dale were recommended to be elected elders, and will be unless some opposition is shown before the next regular church meeting.
