Good 15einniii in Its Effort to liaise More Revenue. Vehicle, IJrewery and Pawnbrokers' Licenses Colter'3 Queer IdeaWorkmen's Iiequesr. City Clerk Nixon was fairly stormed with ordinances last night so fast did the Council members fire them at him. It seemed that every member had found an opportunity for a reform in some direction. The deplorable state of the city's finances came up for consideration, and as a result of the meeting ordinances were passed authorizing Controller Trusler to borrow $40,000 with which to pay the amount borrowed by his predecessor in olfice, and also to Issue ?130,000 In temporary bond3 to be raid on May 1, l9i. There was Democratic opposition to the ordinance authorizing the loan of $4000, but when the controller explained that neither the firemen nor policemen could be paid to-day f the ordinance was not passed, the opposition dwindled down to no opposition at all. There were twenty councllmen at their desks when the clerk began reading a communication from the Mayor. This had direct bearing on the city's financial condition and was as follows: To the President and Members of the Common Coun?il: Gentlemen Since my Induction Into olfice, I have had little time to examine into the condition of the city's affairs, and will not. therefore, attempt to communicate to you my views at length on matters pertaining thereto at this time. I will only touch briefly on the financial situation, leaving all other subjects for future communications. The estimated expenses for the fiscal year ending Aug. SI, lKd, as submitted by exController Woollen In September and approved by tho outgoing Council, largely exceed thos of former years, notwithstanding the tax levy was allowed to remain at the old rate cents on the JMJ of values. In view of the fact that the city had been running behind for two or three years, until the temporary loans and deficiency accounts aggregated $2i0,00o, at the time our predecessors acted. It is hard to understand the financial theory on which the present levy was iixed. The city treasury was much worse than empty on the day the present administration assumed control. While there was a stated balance of $2,000 to the credit of the city in the treasurer's hands, many matured bills remained unpaid, largely exceeding said balance. Beside the $140,000 of temporary loan bonds outstanding, falling due this month. $5,0"0 more had been advanced by the treasurer against the taxes to be paid thereafter. And in addition to the foregoing, new discoveries of unpaid claims against the city are constantly coming to light, the last ones being $1J, rent due to Marion county for the rooms occupied by the city officers, and ?2.r00, due the county auditor for assessing city property. Starting in li.W.OOO behind In the current expense account, to say nothing of the great embarrassment growing out of the default of the outgoing administration in the payment of the $')uo,000 of bonds which fell due July 1, presents a financial situation altogether more embarrassing than any that has ever before confronted an incoming administration in this city. " It will largely devolve on you to relieve the city from Its present embarrassments. The other departments can assist you somewhat by reducing expenses. That they have already resolved and commenced to do. The services of many useless inspectors and employes can be dispensed with. A goodlv number have already been dropied from the pay rolls. More will follow. New rules will be adopted rroverning the purchase of supplies in the departments where large sums are expended, resulting, as I hope. In material reductions in ex penses, particularly in the Department of Public Safety. But with all the retrenchment that can possibly be introduced additional revenue must be provided during the present fiscal year. 'The plan suggested by the retiring controller is to issue and sell S10,000 of tenyear bonds, thu3 adding to the city's permanent bonded debt to that extent This would nearly exhaust the city's constitutional powers to create bonded Indebtedness. For the present I cannot recommend that plan of providing for these deficiencies, even though the present undesirable temporary loan system may have to be continued for another year or two. Under the provisions of the charter special license fees may be Imposed on certain classes of business for privileges enjoyed, some of which, at least, are perfectly fair. Of course, no such license charges should be made burdensome, however. Even a small tax of this kind, a3 compared with similar license charges In other cities, will greatly relieve the present financial embarrassments, and I commend this plan in preference to creating additional debts of either a temporary' or permanent character. Knowing that your memberr, have already been giving special consideration to this subject, I submit the matter to you without further suggestions at this time. Respectfully submitted, C. S. DENNY, Mayor. This communication was received with attention. Then came a letter from the Board of Works. It introduced the contract which the board had drawn up with the Big Four road allowing it to lay switches on Leota and Dillon streets and on English avenue. An ordinance was also prepared approving the contract. The entire matter went to the committee on railroads. When it came time for the committee to report the committee on streets and alleys referred back with favorable recommendation the ordinance introduced by Mr. Allen, providing for the annexation of a strip of ground northeast of the city, part of which is on the north side of Fall crcek. There was opposition on the Democratic side to the passage of the ordinance. Mr. Ityan claimed that the city did not have enough money to provide water and cas for any annexed territory and Intimated that a good number of Republican voters would be taken into the city by the ordinance. The fact that a line providing for the publication of the notice of the ordinance in the Journal had been inserted in the ordinance was u.ed as a pretext by the Democrats for their opposition. The Sentinel has the contract from the Board of Public Works for it3 printing, but Councilman Drew inserted the name of the Journal. The ordinance was finally passed by a vote of 17 to 2. TKMPOUAIIY LOAN. Controller Authorized to Borrow $iO,- )( to Pay Off a Debt. Messrs. Young and Bauh s?nt a batch of ordinances to the clerk's desk, and after the ' were straightened out the clerk began realing them. Tho first was one authorizing the controller to borrow $K),O)0. Mr. Costello protested, but Controller Trusler asked to be heard. He explained that the loan was necessary to pay oh n loan made by Mr. Woollen upon the authority of the last Council. Costello' s objection was to a suspension of the rules, but he withdrew it, and the ordinance was passed unanimously. The Controller stated that he would receive bids this morning in his oflico on this loan. The rate of interest is not to exceed S p:r cent. The unpaid bills presented to the controller now amount to $50,0oJ, and he thinks it will take JIO.WO to run the city this month. Costello claimed that he was never notified that there would ba a meeting of the finance committee to consider this ordinance. Mr. Itauh explained that he had been too busy to call a meeting. Another ordinance was then Introduced by the finance committee, authorizing tho controller to issue bonds fc a, temporary loan of $h.lM, in anticipation of the April settlements of th? taxes. The Interest on the bonds is not to exceed 8 per tent. The ordinance passed. COITKirS Sl'IMKUASY OltDIXANCC. Keeper of Brothel. Excepted cfrom IIm Operation. Mr. Colter, of the finance committee, had an ordinance which is of some interest to s.alon keepers. It ostensibly provides fee ral.dng revenues, and was therefore referred to the finance committee. The ordinance is a slap at tho speakeasies and tho drug stores that sell liquor without paying the city license. It provides that the license shall be the same as It has b?en. but It further provides that evy male selling lUpuor in less quantities than a gallon, and who has paH the yowmtnent tax, shall he considered a n taikr and pay the retailer's license of ro a year. This releases kaetxTs of brothel, who nr,) females, from paying the etty lieenj-. .Mr. Colter claims that a druggist who uses linn.- hi his pies -rations does not have to take out a government "i'-ene, and therefore- the? ordinance will i'.ot be a burden on d rugate ts who ua? liquor a their legitimate buMm-.i.s. A part of the ordinandi provides that anyone taking out a, license for a portion of the year shall

Pay in a ratio to the full year's fee. will icobably bring out considerable

This opposition to the ordinance. MISS PAHKEIt'S PAY. Controller BrliiR! the Question Before the Council. Controller Trusler refused several days ago to allow a claim made by the Hoard of Works for an extra clerk because the board paid the assistant out of the fund for incidental expenses. The board decided to ask the Council for an appropriation of to pay for the past services of the clerk and to pay for an assistant the remainder of the year. In regard to this the controller sent the following communication to the Council: "I am in receipt of the following from the Board of Public Works: " 'P. C. Trusler, City Controller: " 'Sir The board finds that It Is necessary to have permanently In this ollico additional clerical help. We therefore ask you to recommend to the Council an appropriation of $J0 to be used for this purpose.' "The Board of Public Works has been paying a clerk regularly for several months out of funds appropriated for incidental expenses. I have refused to allow the claim, and referred the matter to the city attorney, as. In my opinion, it was not the intention of the Common Council to have this fund bo used.. In order that thLs matter may come before you for action, as contemplated by Section o0 of the charter, I recommend that the amount be appropriated. "P. C. TBUSLEIt, City Controller." Councilman Young asked tho Council to request the controller to furnish a Council committee with an Itemized statement of the salaries paid the employees of the city, so that the Council can regulate the salaries not fixed by the charter. The request was granted, and the president appointed Messrs. Krauss, Young and Costello on the committee to seek the information from the controller. Councilman Koehring wanted the controller to also furnish a statement showing the exact Indebtedness of the city and the estimates of receipts for the coming year. Afterwards he was willing to withdraw his resolution, but as Mr. Allen insisted that it bo put to a vote the resolution was carried. to iiAisn itnvrcxuE. Vehicle nncl Brewery Taxes and Pawnbroker License. The vehicle ordinance was given a start by Mr. Young. It was referred to the committee on finance. The substance of it has been printed several times in the Journal. The highest tax imposed is $20 annually for vehicles carrying heavy loads, $2 for buggies, $6 for two-horse hacks and $1 for bicycles. The jfomised pawnbrokers' ordinance also started on tho legislative rounds. It was fathered byMr. Young. As it was introduced it imposes an annual tax of $2iX) on pawnbrokers and men who loan money on chattels, and compels them to keep a list of all their pledges, the list to always be open to the police. The committee on finance will examine the ordinance. The brewery ordinance also loomed up. Each brewery, bottling establishment and agency will have to pay an annual tax of $1,000 if the ordinance becomes a law. Another ordinance was on prohibiting peddlers or any lirm from selling goods on the streets or in any public place of tho city by station. This ordinance is similar to tho one now supposed to be enforced. UNEMPLOYED MEV. Committee Ilecelve.s Encouragement from the Council. A committee from the unemployed workingmen appeared in the Council chamber and the spokesman asked the Council to do all in its power to give employment to the laboring classes this winter. Tho committee wanted the Council to do all it could In urging forward the work of public improvements. Upon the motion of Mr. Ityan a committee consisting of Messrs. Drew, Ryan, Costello, Stott and Stein was appointed trv confer with the Mayor nnd the Board of Works over ;ho labor situation, and to advise the authorities to take such steps as will give mea employment this winter. To Abolish the Plumblnjr Inspector. Mr. R&uh took a shy at the plumbing ordinance, introducing an crdinance to repeal the one which provides for a plumbing inspector. It was referred to the committee on public health, and If that committee reports favorably Mr. Judd and Mr. Hudson will be legislated out of the Health Department. "Will Finn lento the School. The Board of Health held a meeting yesterday afternoon and decided to fumigate school No. 27 this week, and then open It again next week. Miscellaneous Ordinances. Mr. Kaiser Introduced an ordinance changing the name of Young street to Olive. The street Is one in the ward that Mr. Kaiser represents. President Cooper wants the Big Four railroad to station a llagman at the Firststreet crossing, and he wants a man over twenty-one years of age on duty. An ordinance to this effect went to the railroad committee. Councilman Young raised a laugh by bringing up the bootblack ordinance again. He said ho introduced it by request. It Is intended to be effective in preventing newsboys and bootblacks from congregating on street corners. The committee on public morals will give it grave consideration. An ordinance to fix the bonds of the city officials, where not already fixed by the charter, was passed under a suspension of the rules. The bonds are fixed as follows: City controller, $2!,000; deputy controller, city engineer and members of the Boanl of Safety, $,00) each; members of the Health Hoard and clerks of the Health and Safety boards, $2.0uo each; city attorney, $l.O. Mr. Ryan introduced another hack ordinance, which went to the committee on streets and alleys. This one puts the wagons on Missouri street, from Washington to Market, and from Washington to Maryland; on Maryland, from Delaware to Alabama, and cn Alabama, from Washington to Georgia. The wagons are not to come within ten feet of the lntersectlr.tr streets, must stand ten feet apart and all offal and dirt must be cleaned away bv the owners of the wagons. The wagon owners are now violating the law every day in standing their teams on Pennsylvania street south of Washington. DEATH OF Dll. DUZAX. "Well-Known Physician Carried Off by Heart Trouble. Dr. Georgo N. Duzan, one of the best known practicing physicians of Indianapolis, died at 11 o'clock yesterday at hi3 home, No. 2S2 North Illinois street. The immediate cause of his death was heart complications probably augmented by severe kidney disorder with which he had been afilicted for the past year. For some weeks he has been suffering intensely from disease, but his friends were hardly prepared for the summons that came so suddenly. Dr. Duzan was fifty-two years old. He was born in Boone county "nnd from that section accompanied the Fifty-second Indiana Infantry through the rebellion, acting in the capacity of surpeon. For the past six years he enjoyed a large practice In Indianapolis an J for twenty-live years practiced his profession at Zlonsville. For several years he was professor of physiology and clinics at the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons, and wa3 known In the profession as a thoroughly posted and skillful surgeon. Dr. Duzan was a nephew of the late Dr. William Nelson Duzan, of this city. He is survived by a wife and one son, George N. Duzan. Klrklnnd'M Case of Smallpox. The State Board of Health yesterday received notice from Klrkland that Mrs. Maitlen, the smallpox patient, Is in a very bad way, and is apparently suffering from ti e disease In Its virulent form. No other cases have been reported from that vicinity. "Bandit of the AValahM Caught. Ernest Whitehouse, who some years ago was known as the "bandit of the Wabash," and who has been confined In the Central Insane Hospital, escaped last Friday and made his appearance at ri-ro Haute yesterday. He was captured, and will be retuned. Catnrrh in the Ilcml Is undoubtedly a disease of the blood, and as fueh only a reliable blood purifier can t-ffc-ct a perfect and permanent cure, ll&od's Sarsaparilla is the best blood purifier, and it has cured many very severe cases of catarrh. Catarrh oftentimes lends to consumption. Take Hood's Sarsaparilla before It Is too late. Hood's PHI do- not purge, pain or gripe, but act promptly, easily and ellldently. Zjc.

Tho show will continue through the week, with promenade concerts each evening. The premium list is unusually attractive to those who have flowers to show, and the cons2quence is that the seventh show will excel all previous efforts. The flowers will intoxicate the sight, and the music will add to the enjoyment with a concord of swet sounds.

Spanish Weddlm? Serenade Silva Finale Die Sconste Alma Wledskl Just at this season tha chrysanthemum Is the queen among flowers, but Its reign only lasts about six weeks. Those who have never seen tho chrysanthemum show can have no idea of tine size, the brilliant colors and combination of colors, and the beauty of the blossom. The cold weather brings it out In all Its gorgeousness, and tho old-Mine flower of the same name is scarcely recognizable in the bloom which the florists exhibit. In addition to the chrysanthemum, th?ro will be displays of orchids, cut flowers, of fruits and plants. The hall is handsomely decorated and the whole place is in its full-dress costume. At the end of the week many of the plants and flowers will be sold, and the blossoms la.st a. long time at this season. Some of the plants have been known to last outside of the greenhouse till Christmas, and even longer.

Chicago and other places to contest for the best display of the several classes. Now YcrliK Show. NEW YORK, Nov. C A flower show was opened in the Grand Central Palace this afternoon. The exhibits of roses, violets, carnations and orchids are very choice. The display of chrysanthemums is the best.

About $;.0u0 will be distributed by the club in premiums. The largest single prize offered is $2J0 for the best group of palms. CITY XEWS KOTI3S.

Between 9 and 10 o'clock last night fire was discovered in the roof of a vacant house owned by M. Robertson, at No. 12Z East New York street. It Is thought the hou.-e was paid a visit by fire bugs. The department extinguished the flames after the building had sufu-red a loss of $100. The fir department was called to No. iO Hudson sc"C2t last night to extinguish a blaze in the stable owned by II. P. Smith. The owner believes that a match was applied to his barn. The loss was $3. Returned to the Reform School. Detectivj Harvey Case last night arrested Austin Vance, aged nineteen, a young man liberated some months ago from the Reform School at Plalnfield.

WEST INDIANAPOLIS HOARD. Its Business Was Largely Consideration of Bills and Remonstrances. The West Indianapolis Town Board of Trustees met last night. For a curtain ."ais- " President HaKedorn called for "unfinished business." Numerous bills were laid over from laft meeting, and in consequence of this fact there was an abundance on hand. The manner in which Town Clerk French sang "debts" caused 'iie cold shivers to course up and down Trustee Person's slight frame. T. A. Wynne, representing the Indianapolis Light and Tower Company, quietly asked for $132.55 for service rendered by that company during October. He was given a warrant due July 1.1, 1831, with interest at 8 per cent. 'Squire Allen was allowed his bill of $29 fc.- hall rent and "boss board." The water company presented a bill of $22.50 for the repairing of a tire plug, smashed some two Sundays ago in a sad collision with the lire wagon. The announcement of "new business" brought forth confusion. All that could definitely be found of this was that remonstrances were being heard against the improvement of Morris street, from Belmont avenue to Shelheld avenue. Louis Traugott, one of the remonstrators, uttered Insinuations against the honesty of Doc Johnson's desire for improvements. That worthy never said a word. Ag&in Traugott created a stir by saying that contractor McfVay intended to confiscate gravel already in place on Morris street, and that it was his intention to usa it in Haughville. PatriotIsm rang high, and President Ilagedorn in vain strove for order. The crowd becoming exhausted, the boerd thereupon took a hand in the meeting, and the matter will rest until bids are received for the improvement. A letter from the McCoy Manufacturing Company complained that its property is inundated regularly with every rain, and asked for help from the board. The bo.Td refused to contribute. When it was announced that a gift had been handed over to the town everybody was anxious as the thoughts of money, and paid debts, and full treasury loomed up before their eyes. The gift was none other than a street, dedicated to the town by F. P. Rush and M. J. Osgood, of the city. Mr. Bush wa.s honored by having the street named after him. AMISHMHXTS. CSrnnd "Tle Crn?tt of Sitclfty. One might travel far and not behold a delicate subject such as "The Crust of Society" portrays more pleasingly or acceptably handled than was that play at the Grand last night. The adaptation for American theater-goers of this intensely French topic contains no more nor less of risque situations than 13 countenanced by good society American society, o courseon the stage. There Is naught In the characters to shock or offend good taste. It may be suggested, but does not obtrude Itself. Blushes might follow the perusal of Dumas' story from which It Is taken; they do not accompany the dramatization. That blasting word "adventuress" spoken of by clever people may even be heard in polite society. With equal tact the article itself may stride behind the footlights. That Is what Is done In "The Crust of Society." Miss Flita Proctor Otis shows her capacity for giving the character Just the proper tone. The role would be interesting, howsoever poorly it were done. But that is not enough. It Is said Miss Otis first assumed "professional" acting less than a year ago. ThU would be hard to believe but for the fact that Indianapolis knows her and claims her as one of the several artists who have gone forth from the hardly classic realm of Iloorler's capital to astonish the world. She astonishes. More, she commands the highest admiration for her artistic endeavor. Aside frcm her tall and beautiful carriage, there is evidence of a determination to show that f-he is an artist rather than that she has a striking figure. The cool, calculating, apparently frigid and mercenary woman, about whose desperate social fortunes all interest gathers, rises when necessary to the highest occasion of honest affection for the man she has determined to wed, and shows a nature melting with longing for an upright and respectable career, from which her past eternally bars the way. Then, with one clever imoulse, she hurls a peal of insincere laughter at the heartily sympathetic audience, and on the instant freezes the ilood of tears Into which her audience was on the point of being dissolved. She even makes the people repent having extended their sympathies, but before the resolution is lirmly established, presto! and again all hearts are in her wake, even as are the worldly hearts of those she is duping in the play. There is a lesson intended to be taught by the play, and that is, that a disreputable woman should not hope to place herself on a footing in recognized good society. By wedding Captain Itandall Northcote the adventuress, Mrs. Eastlake Chapel, would only have dragged down a good man, who had been blinded by passion. Incidentally, men might learn from the piece that of all weak things atove the ground, tht ir own pride-laden hearts are supremely. Indisputably anil lamentably the most fragile. As the adventuress says: "The dullest woman alive is a match forty times over for the cleverest of men." "Other thing being equal," the philosopher will doubtless add. The play abounds in such expressions as "Society often lets in at the siie door those it openly and publicly booted out of .the fiont." Naturally the audience had eyes for none but Miss Otis la.st night. However, the cast is well selected with not a weak character. Lydia Thompson has not a great deal to do as "Lady Downe." Her accomplished daughter, Zeilie Tilbury, as "Mrs. Ernestine Echo," gives an accurate, but not striking protrayal of a frivolous ;md discarded wife. To-night Miss Otis and Mis Tilbury will alternate and the public will have an opportunity to judge of their versatility. Charlotte Xeilson as the innocent niece of "Lady Downe," reads well with a mannerism that peculiarly lits the part. Arthur Lewis does the man of the world as "Oliver St. Aubyn," almost to perfection. "John Flood." who is almost- the victim of the designing adventuress i. eets ail the requirements of the piece without unnecessary ranting. Henry Bayntun is refreshing in his few lines and (Jeorge S. Hoblnsnn makes a dignified English earl bent on protetinj? his family honor. There will be a change In the cast, or, rather, an exchange of parts to-night, when Miss Tilburv will appear as Mrs. Eastlake Chapel, and" Miss Otis as Mrs. Ernestine Echo. This assignment will be carried out at the matinee to-morrow and to-morrow night. The cast will be the same as it was last night Pnrk Theater "LIkIiIm o London. Of the many English melodramas that have been produced in this country during the past dozen years, none has bettor characterizations and stronger interest than "Lights o London," which Is the current jjttraction at the Park Theater. While there is nothing particularly new in the story of the play, still It is most originally worked out, with lively action and effective dramatic climaxes. The characterizations are natural and picturesque, and altogether the play is a model of its kind, decidedly the best of George K. Sims's many dramas. It has been many years since it was con in Indianapolis, but thre were very large uudier.ces both yesterday afternoon and last night, and the ierformante.s were followed with close attention nnd much npplaudctt. Taking the play, scenery, which is pretty and appropriate and the company together.
