L Committee Keport Canses Mnch Discussion, ' Ended Onlj Ij Adjournment. The brick-layers had a quiet and unCYentfal session yesterday, with the exception of a debate dnrins tho latter part of the afternoon. The committee on officers' reports made its report, and, although these reports had nearly All been renewed by the executive committee daring the year, still it is the custom to have them discussed by the anBaal conventions after they are treated by the committee noruiaatea to consider them. The action of the committee was sustained by tho convention in all but two cases. The exceptions vrero those where the committee on officers reports had made certain decisions that the majority of the contention thought they had no power to make. These two were debated at length by the general body and ine of tbem was settled satisfactorily, while the other was argued up to the hour f adjournment. Uotn questions . involved the policy of the nnion. A message of preetins was received from the Huilders' and Laborers International Union, expressing thanks and gratitude for the assistance of the Urick-Iavers' and 31aous' International Union in organizing nnions and other forms of help rendered.

Movement to firing tho Panhandle Shops Back Into the City. Mr. Conduitt Trjinc to Bet a Thousand on the Light Question Minor ' Municipal Affairs. TO WtOTECT WATKIi CONSU3IERS. Eflott to Ilave the Council Perform the Duty the Hoard of YVorlta Neglected. Some time ago the Journal predicted that tho it r Council and the Board of Public Wcrfcs would not get along together as smoothly as was the case prior to Jan. 1. The water contract was the iirst thing of any consequence sent to tr.e new Council by the Board of Public Works for confirmation, and last night Chairman Ryan, of the franchise committee, asked the Council for further time. The contract has now been in the bands of the committee two weeks, and it is unable to agree upon a report. Mr. Ryan says he is anxious to do something for private consumers, but he does not know how to go about it with the water company's charter staring him in tho face. Councilman Young, last night, introduced a resolution in the Council that may, perchance, open up the way for a schedule of prices to private consumers. Mr. Young bus given the water contract question some study, and is anxious to serve the people The resolution was as follows: Whereas, the adoption of more equitable rules and prices by the water company, lor the benefit of private consumers, should be considered by the Council; and, whereas, the rapid growth of the city makes it neeesaary that use of better water than that wbich comes from surface wells should be encouraged, to the end tbat the public health may be preserved.and there being many complaints by those who do not use the rity water because of being unable to pay the prices chanted; and. whereas there is doubt as to just what powers the Council has under the company's charter; therefore be It Resolved, That the city attorney be instructed to make a thoroifeh and complete Investigation of the terms of the charter and subsequent legislation relating thereto, and ao of the city charter bearin; on tho same subject, and report to the Council at the next meeting. The resolution, on motion of Councilman Ryan, was referred to the committeo on franchises and upon the suggestion of Mr. Gasper the city attorney was added. In speaking of the contract a councilman said last night to a Journal reporter: " t here ought to be some way by which the Connoil could curb the grasping tendencies of the water company as retards private consumers. 1 know of one instance in this city where city water is used in a block and also to run the elevator. Instead of using one meter the company put in two, because the larger the quantity of water used the less tho rate per one thousand gallons. The use of two meters divides the quantity and keeps the rate up." After the Council meeting last night Messrs. Young and Ryan adjourned to the tatter's storo on South Illinois street to talk about water. A meeting of the franchise committee will be called soon. TOE PANHANDLE 8 II 0 13. Two Ordinances to Bring the Property Back Into the City. Two Democrats went to the Council chamber last night with one purpose in view and ordinances of the same kind in their inside pockets. On tho roll-call for special ordinances, Councilman Whito introduced ono to reannex the PanlQndlesbops property, so recently disannexed by the old Council to satisfy one of the corporation pledges of this clean, business administration. Councilman McGill also had an ordinance of this kind, and, as his name appears first on the roll-call, he was entitled to the first hearing, but when his name was called he was nsleep. When he found that Councilman White had stolen a march on him he was very 'sore." The ordinance was referred to the committee on streets and alleys. Last summer ex-Councilman Austin, an employe of the Pennsylvania Kailroad Company, exacted a pledge from all the Democratic members to vote to disannex the Panhandle shops, and many of them who were opposed to tho roeasnre pledged themselves, believing that the time would not come when they would be called upon to vote for such an ordinance. Mr. Austin hustled around, however, introduced his ordinance, and the night the old Conncil passed away in a blaze of nncertain glory to that bourne from whence politicians seldom return it became a law over the Mayor's veto. Those who voted for the disannexation ordinanco carried out their part of the programme, aud will likely all vote for tho annexation ordinance. MIL CONDUITT WANTS TO 1IET.lie Feels Sure That at Least One or Two Light Utds Will lie In. President Conduitt, of the Board of Public Works, is quoted in an afternoon paper as saying tbat he will bet $1,0C0 that the board will receive bids on electrio light three weeks from yesterday. Since all tho agents, except of the Brush company, say positively that they have no intention of bidding Mr. Conduitt'semphatic and financial remark sets one to guessing. Can it bo possible that the acent of some company was allowed to prepare the specifications just adopted, as was the case before? At any rate, since $1,000 is considerable money more thun six month's salaryPresident Conduitt either must havo some inside information regarding Iocai syndicates or is possibly betting 6imply upon the Brush company's bid. In regard to the latter. Mr. Tom Dillon, manager of the Brush Company in this city, told a Journal reporter yesterday that some time ago Mr. C. P. Woodworth. of the Thompson-Houston Company, approached him and wanted him to ascertain from President Cavrn if the BruBh plant here could be bought. Mr. Caven said it could not. Mr. Dillon is of the opinion that the local syndicate intended, if its deal with the Board or Publio Works carried, to buy the Brush plant, if it could, andenlargeit to the required capacity. The failure of the syndicate to buy tho Brush plant may have headed oil' tho ten-year installment plan scheme, whereby the city was to become the proud owner of a great big plant. Hoard of Safety Ilonttne. Tho Board of Public Safety held a meeting yesterday morning to transact pressing business. Prcsideut Hawkins was absent Special polica powers wore granted to Joseph McDonald at Holy Cross Cemetery, and Lewis Anderson at the Grand nd Englisn's Opera-houses. Upon the request of Dickson &, Talbott the police powers of Harry Cltllord wcro revoked. Chief Webster reported that three fire hydrants on North New Jersey stroet are ready for service. The charge of drunkenness against patrolman Davidson was sustained by the board. He was suspended for three days, reprimnnded and reinstated. The board awarded thecoutract for fnrnishing coal to the niarket-houseH and Touilitison Hall to the Consolidated Coal and Lime Company nt S-VW pir ton for toit Brazil block. W. (i. Wasou"s bid was i2Ai a ton. Charges were lil d by Clements Faugh against Sara Neal lor being absent from duty without leave. Tho matter was referred to Chief Webster. tund for the Hitckmen. Mr. Ol-ien introduced an ordinanco in the Council last night providing for hackstands on both 6ides of Kentucky avenue, both sides of Maryland street, east and west of Illinois street; on McCrea street.

and on either side of Illinois, from Louisiana to Ohio street- It also provides tbat on July 4, Labor day. Decoration day, fair week and circus days hacks shall be allowed to stand on other streets without restriction. It was referred to the committee on streets and alleys. "Would Not Exchange the Bonds. Robert Kenmngton asked the Board of Public Works yesterday morning if it would not give him the 5 COO in bonds retained on the Coburn-street improvement, which he could sell, and accept in their place Madison-avenue bonds, whioh he cannot sell readily. President Conduitt and Mr. Defrees were willing, but Mr. richerer would not listen to any such a proposition. - The matter was argued for a long while, but Mr. richerer would not give in, and the question was referred to City Attorney Bailey. . Sprinkling Specifications. The Board of Public Works held one of those executive sessions again yesterday morning, as usual, to talk abont sprinkling specifications. Bart Parker is working on the specifications, and they will be ready to adopt in a lew days. Asked for Asphalt. People are going early to the Board of Publio Works for street improvements. Yesterday morning a petition was filed asking for the grading and paving with asphalt of New York street, from Indiana avenue to Blake street.

Holler Inspection. The ordinance providing for the inspection of boilers by a man to be appointed by the city, with a salary, was to have been introduced in tho Council last night, but, for some reason, it was withheld. Municipal Notes. Charles n. Fiske was allowed S750 for damages caused to his property by the opening of Mill street. E. II. Mahoney was awarded the contract for building a brick sidewalk on Belmont avenue at 40 cents a foot. , Councilman McGill introduced an ordinance last night to compel the Pennsylvania Kailroad Company to put a llagman at Phipps street. Kef erred to the railroad committee. FOR MEXICANS IN NEED. The Government Will Gladly Accept a Contribution of Corn Shipping Arrangements. Sometime ago tho following letter was received by Joseph It. Kobinson, of this city, from Senor Komero, the Mexican minister at Washington: Mexican Legation; Washington. D. C, Jan. 5, 1892. $ Mr. J. It. Kobinson. Indianapolis, ltd.: fir I have the honor to inform you that having transmitted to the Mexican government the letter that you addressed to me on the 4th of December last, as I informed you in my reply of the 6th, in regard to your Intention, as well as other people's, to donate a large amount of corn to the famine-fttrlcken districts of Mexico, owing to the loss of the crops there, according to the announcements of the paper, I have received an answer irom Mr. Mariscal, Secretary for Foreign Aflairs of the United Mexican States, dated on the 23d of December, 1891, lu which he desires me to reiterate, on behalf of the Mexican government, their heartfelt thanks for your kind oiler, and to say that the Mexican government accepts such generous aud spontaneous donation and will take charge of its distribution by means of agents ad hoc that will bo appointed to carry out in the best possible way the philanthropic intention of the aonators; that the cargoes sent will be received at the frontier free of duty, must be consigned to the federal government ana forwarded to the central rallwny station at Torreon, the Junction of said road and the International railway; that it is hoped that the railway company or companies which will carry the corn within the Mexican territory will do it gratia, but if that Is not the case the government will pay for it, so that the donators shall not be subject to any further pecuniary expense. In communicating to yon this resolution it gives me pleasure to again subscribe myself very faithfully yours, M. Bomeko. Mr. Kobinson has received a dispatch from Gen. Herman Sturm, who is in the City of Mexico, conveying tho information that the Mexican government thankfully accepts the tendered gift, and will arrange for its reception. The corn is to bo shipped to this city to Jacob W. Smith, secretary of the Board of Trade, and will be stored free in Elevator A. The corn will be accepted either shelled or in the ear. and will be shipped free of freight to El Paso, where the Mexican government will receive it. The shipment will bo made when twenty car-loads have boen secured. ROLAND AND KOCCO. . One of the City Engineer's Employes Who Borrowed, Robbed and Ren Away. Fred Koland, alias Burger, arrived in the city yesterday in charge of Captain Quigley, who went to Toledo for him. He was charged on the slate with forgery, and does not deny his guilt. He, in fact, repeated his performance in this city at Toledo by giving himself np. His first offense was in embezzling 8100 in Newark, N. J., but the injured man refused to advance money to have him taken back to be prosecuted. He was therefore turned loose, and made friends with Jacob Crone, a saloon-keeper, upon whom the forgery was committed. He induced Crono to cash a check for $15, turporting to bo signed by Herman Ackeow, of the Circle House. When seen by a Journal reporter at tho station-house, Koland said: "I intended to do right, bring my wife here and become a respectable citizen, but I fell in with a fellow employed in the city engineer's office. He was known by the name of Kocco, but after wo left tho city ho told me hi right name Was Edward St. Elaine. He is an Alsatian. He and I were drinking on New Year's day, and he coaxed me to write the check. I would not havo yielded if I had not been drunk. Wo went first to Detroit, Kocco told me he had overdrawn his salary twice over." Inquiry in the city engineer's office disclosed that Kocco. or St. Elaine, worked about a month in the office. He borrowed money from every conceivable source, and sold orders for his month's salary to two different persons, names unknown. He had the reputation among the clerks in tho oflice of being so erratic as to be unbalanced. He left without the formality of saying farewell, and. until Roland's disclosure, had not since been heard from. Working Worthless Insurance. About two months since Stato Auditor Henderson received a number of letters inquiring as to the financial standing of the Indiana Farmers Insurance Company of Elwood. Tho Auditor instructed Mr. George Dukes, chief of the insurance bureau, to mako an investigation. This ha9 been thoroughly done aud it has been found that the company has not only failed to bo properly incorporated under the State laws, but has no oilico in Indiana. It is being worked by some Chicago people, and if apprehended they are likely to get into trouble. New Fa t Mall Train.

STREET -CAR ARBITRATION

Bishop Chatard Is the Third Member of the Board to Settle the Dispute Attorney Wish&rd Addresses the Brotherhood ' at Its Meeting Employes Will Stand by the Result Judge nowe and Hugh II. Hanna met yestJay morning to select a third member of the board of arbitrators in the streetrailway trouble. Attorneys Wisbard, and Allen, representing the brotherhood and the company, were called in and asked for advice. Four names were seleoted, but the decision was left until afternoon. At S o'clock Bishop Chatard was unanimously agreed upon as the third member, lie was conferred with and agreed to accept the duty. The board will meet to morrow to take nn its work. It has been agreed tbat the brotherhood shall have the opening and closing argument and shall present its evidence in chief and rebuttal to the company's evidence if it so desires. The investigation will be carried on nnder legal forms, and Judge Howe, as the only jurist on the board, will be selected to preside. nnOTIIEKIIOOD MEETING. Last evening the Brotherhood of Cardrivers, Motormen and Conductors of the Indianapolis Street-railroad Company held a meeting in their room in Griffith Block, to consider the last action taken toward adjusting tho differences between them and the company. A. W. Wishard, attorney for the brotherhood, was called upon for a statement concerning the gentlemen chosen to act as a committee to arbitrate between the men and the company. "There are a few things," said Mr. Wishard, T wish to call attention to. What you do and how you do it are very Important matters, important not only as they atlect this controversy, but other controversies that may arise, differences that you may have with your employers and that other workingmen may have with theirs. The question as to the selection of three arbitrators has been agreed upon and according to that agreement the member seleoted for the brotherhood is Jndge Howe, and Mr. Frenzel, for the company, selected Hugh II. Hanna. president of the Atlas works. These two gentlemen had a conference to-day with Mr. Allen, the attorney of the company, ana myself, and agreed upon Bishop Chatard as the third member of the committee. Judge Howe has been for more than fourteen years a judge of the Superior Court, a man of whose purity of motivo and just judgment there can be no doubt. Mr. Hanna has been president of the Atlas works for twelve years, has employed during that time several thousand men, and now employs several hundred. He has never bad a strike, or controvesy, or trouble, and knows what the feellnns and purposes of men are, and how to deal with them. I need not say anything abont Bishop Chatard. He is the head of the Catholic Church in this diocese; a thoroughly-educated man, with a knowledge of temporal as well as spiritual affairs; one who knows the wants of the people. "What is involved in tho return of the badges? Are the badges a gratuity from the company or a part of the compensation? If they are taken away is a fit substitute in wages to be given in lien of them? A statement will be prepared and submitted to the board of arbitrators for consideration, and that will be the essentia! part of what they will consider. People will try to make outside issues enter into this matter. You want to have this settled upon the broad plan that you are right and an essential part of the company; tbat while it takes rails, and cars, and mules, and electricity, you are the brain force and the muscular force that puts them' into execution, and that you have to betaken into consideration when the aflairs of the company are considered. Yon want to avoid politics. Your employment on this road is your business. It is as much to you as the business of the man who is president of this corporation or to a man who represents any great interest. Yon work for a corporation that, while it is a private interest, is a publio servant When the time comes for the granting of a new charter to this company let it be seen that the new charter is not granted unless your interests are protected. The now charter will be for a long time and will involve many things that are of direct importance to the people of this city. The city will want to put a restriction upon the charter as to time, the cost of carrying people, the kind of cars, and yon want to see that in the provisions of that cnurter the rights of the men who do the work are respected. The profits of this company go to stockholders outside the city. It should be provided, if it is a largo profit-paying concern that some of the profits should come to you. The charter of that company for fifty years, under; reasonable restrictions and regulations, is worth more than the whole plant as it stands in tho city now. WILL ABIDE BY THE RESULT. "Two or three prominent newspaper men in tho city have undertaken to claim that they settled the stri ke. Nobody has settled thestrike, but the board of arbitration will settle it No editor of any paper need strive with another editor as to which one suggested the plan of arbitration. You want to take toyourselvesthe credit of having suggested the arbitration as tho proper way to settle it." 1 he following resolution was then unanimously adopted: Whereas, the controversies existing between the fctreet-rallroad Company of Indianapolis and this brotherhood have, by agreement of both parties, been submitted to arbitration; and Whereas, the arbitrators have been chosen and are now about to act, bo it Kesolved, by the brotherhood, that they have, for their own betterment and in order to reach a fair conclusion, recommended said method of settlement by arbitration, and they hereby Tledre this brotherhood to a full indorsement of the conclusions that may be reached by said board of arbitrators, when such decision is rendered. The half-dozen or more outsiders departed and the brotherhood went into executive session. DOGS AND POULTRY. Plenty of Entries for the Biff Show Which Opens To-Day Fad for Great Danes. There was a vast amount of crowing and cackling going on in the barren space of Tomlinson Hall last night Already there were. in the neighborhood of five hundred entries of poultry for the annual show, and the entries were making their presence felt. Iho entries close at noon to-day. Secretary Hale expects twice as may entries thia morning as have been made to date. The exhibit of poultry runs largely to game chickens, and they como lrom all parts of the United States, and a few even from England. The whole lower lloor of the auditorium is given up to this department of the show. The fowls are exhibited in boxes, with open netting on one side, ranged in long rows, the length of tho hall. There is no attempt at decoration in the great hall, nor is there any effort to relieve the barren appearance of the long rows of pine boxes. The stage is occupied by tho pigeon and Fet stock exhibit, and this promises to be arger than usual. About 2.00 pigeons have been entered thus far, and eighty pets, moNtly rabbits, gumea pigs, white mice and squirrels. As yet there is at Tomlinson nail nothing of tbe most interesting depaxtmsnt to the general public, tho bench show; at least there is nothing much. One lonesome pointer was found curled up in one of tho loug double row of benches that are being placed in the up-stairs corridor. However, there were in the neighborhood of one hundred entries for this department lastnight, and more are expected to-day. Among these are five great Danes." These rnornious beasts have succeeded tbe St. Bernard as a fad and are now considered the proper caper by the dog fans. Tbe great Dano is abou ttho size of a calf a week old, is a dirty steel-gray color, has a resonant voice and a fierce look, but is, as a matter of fuct. very gentle. ewabiitii Society.

At this ball the dedication of the society banner will take place with solemn ceremonies. ARCHITECTURAL EXHIBIT. It Is Now Open to the Fnblic General Average of the Work Tery High. The architectural exhibit at the Propylajum will be open to-day. Workmen were busy all day yesterday opening new pieces and hanging them nnder the direction of the committee. Many interiors were brought out and several new designs of buildings. The general character of the exhibition is high, the averago is good, there is much serious work, and few in comparison of those- studies of travel, which, however useful to the maker and attractive to the visitor, are pupil's and not master's wprk. .Nearly every frame contains some serious" piece of architectural work. No better opportunity could be given for noticing the immense advance in drawing that subordinate but still important branch of the architectural profession which the last ten years have shown. It is surprising how great is the number of able draughtsmen, who, either well taught in Europe or at our two or three borne schools, or not taught at all, except how to hold the drawing-tool and to guide it are making satisfactory and often admirable drawings for our practicing architects. JSome of them are at work in the offices of their employers, others have their own small studios, some few have an independent and well-known name of their own; but a good, strai ghtf or ward, manly style of work, according to tbe fashion of the day and conforming to the style of all our graphio art. characterizes them all. The exhibit will close Friday evening. Putting Away Plenty of Ice. Superintendent Yeager has stored ono hundred tons of ice for tbe use of the poorhouse at a cost of 43.
