TO CONDEMN A EOW

Effort to Have Unsightly Shanties Opposite the Capitol Tom Down. Fennision Given to Cnt Into Another Improved Street Georgria-Street Sqwqt Completed. The building Inspector has recommended the condemnation of the row of rickety one-story' frame buildings on Washington street opposite the Capitol, between the World's Fair building and the Everitt Seed Company's building. The building inspector says the bulldir.g3 cause an increase of danger to the adjoining property, and are a constant menace to it. In the rear of them are old frame stables. The buildings have long been an eyesore, and it has been a matter of wonderment that they did not collapse. The Works Board is of the opinion that the buildings should be torn down, and It Is probable that the building Inspector will be authorized to order their removal. The board anticipates a strong fight against this order, as there are a number of property owners and tenants interested. One Student Withdrew. The examination of students who are applicants for positions in the City Hospital and City Dispensary was continued in the Council chamber yesterday. In the morning the examinations were conducted by Dr. Ray, from the Central Hospital for the Insane, on surgery. The afternoon examination was conducted by Dr. Jeff.les on obstetrics. During the morning examination there was somewhat of a commotion created by the withdrawal of one of the students from the examination. It was Dr. Hills Eastman, a graduate of the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons. When the Hour frr closing arrived and the papers were called for Dr. Eastman was not ready to hand his in, and asked for more time. This was refused him, and he declined to hand In his paper. He then withdrew from the examination. Dr. Eastman shows that the rules did not specify any hour for closing the examination, and that on this account he did not hasten in his work. Wct revr York Street Asnhnlt. The city engineer has been Instructed to prepare the papers for paving with asphalt New York street, from West street to Indiana avenue. The petition for the Imprcvement of the same street with the same material from West to- Blake street was also referred to the city engineer. J. L. Blizzard was granted permission to construct, under private contract, a sewer in the alley between Cedar and Grove streets, and the city engineer was instructed to see that the work was properly done. The contract and bond of J. Harry Roberts for sprinkling streets in district No. 20 was approved by the board. Tne gas company was instructed to light the lamp on Ash, midway between Eleventh street and the first alley south of Eleventh street. The Board of Works took final action on the resolutions for the construction of a local sewer on New York street, from Noble to Liberty street To Cnt the Pavement. The Connecticut Mutual Insurance Commission was given permission to cut into the College-avenue pavement to make connection with water mcJns. A letter was received from the company that put down the pavement consenting to the permission being granted. Thomas H. Spann, representing the insurance company, was called before the board, and explained that as it was necessary to make an opening across the entire street it would be difficult, if not impossible, to tunnel under the pavement. He thought the reluctance of the board to grant permission to cut improved streets was commendable, but said it would have to make some exceptions, and he saw no other way of doing the work in this case. The granting of such permission will not be common in the future. Completion of Georgia-Street Server. The city engineer notified the Board of Works, yesterday, that the Georgia-street main sewer, beginning at Kentucky avenue and extending to East street, had been completed at a cost of $32,400. The assessment roll was ordered prepared, and the contractor, William Bossert. was ordered to notify the property owners when and where their assessment would be payable, and also the last day upon which they would b entitled to take advantage of the Barrett law. Itesidents of Stoughton street were before the board asking that cement Instead of gravel pavements be ordered for that street. Both sidewalks of Massachusetts avenue, from Pennsylvania to St. Clair street, will be paved with cement. Brick on Morrl Street. At the meeting of the Board of Tubllc Works, yesterday morning, the property owrers residing upon West Morris street, between Dakota street and White river, filed a petition asking that that section of the street be not paved with brick. The petition was granted and the city engineer instructed to prepare the necessary papers for paving with brick that portion of the street between Meridian and Dakota streets. The board adopted the following improvement resolutions: For paving with asphalt Wabash street, frf.m Delaware to Alabama street. For graveling the roadway and paving with brick and curbing with stone the sidewalks on Vermont street, from Belmont atr.u3 to Lynn street. To Cen.ne Sprinkling Tenth Street.

Vacation of Railroad Street. The city engineer has been instructed to investigate and report upon a petition for the vacation of Kailroad street, from tixth to Seventh street. FOUND DEAD AGAINST A STOVE. Oliver I Gray, a Xcsrro, Dies in a Horrible Manner. Oliver P. Gray, colored, nged fifty years, a barber employed at No. 123 Fort Wayne avenue, was found dead yesterday morning. When found Gray was leaning against the side of a hot gas stove. The entire left side of his head and face were burned to a crisp. 'His left shoulder and arm were also badly burned. His right leg, which had been in contact with the front part of the stove, was severely burned. Gray had been employed at the barber shop.'of which John W. Bridges is the proprietor, for about two weeks. On asking for work, Gray told Bridges that he had no place to sleep, and Bridges allowed him to sleep on a lounge in the barber shop. Thursday night Gray, Bridges and several friends played checkers In the shop until a late hour. Those who were with Gray that night state that he had been drinking freely all day, and that ho was in an ugly mood. However, the time passed off quietly and the men departed about 10 o'clock, leaving Gray to sleep in the shop, as usual. Bridges frequently does odd jogs in paperhanging, and yesterday morning sent bis helper, Henry Sims, to the shop to get his kit of tools. Sims, on arriving at the store, found the doors locked, and attempted to arouse Gray, but was unsuccessful. Slm3 then summoned James Feeney ami Charles Lane, who reside close by, and the three broke in the door, after attempting to unlock it with keys. On going Into the shop they found Gray leaning against the stove. Further investigation revealed great spots of blood on the lloor and lounge. This at once caused the men to believe that Gray bad been assaulted and knocked unconscious during' the night. Coroner Beck was notified. The body was removed to a morgue, where an autopsy was held about 4 o'clock in the afternoon by Dr. William Wright. Dr. Wright remove I the skull cap and found blood collected between the skin and the skull. He examined the brain uiul found that It was In such a softened condition, as the result of the? intense heat, that it was impossible to locate any clots of blood which would have collected in case of a severe blow on the head. There were no fractures of the skull, and this fact led the Doctor to believe that Gray was attacked by apoplexy and had fallen over unconscious on to the stove. The bruises on Gray's face were undoubtedly caused by the fall. Dr. Wright stated that the blood on the floor

was accounted for by the fact that the intense heat caused the blood to flow from Gray's mouth and nose. Dr. Wright carefully searched the body for bruises, but could not find any. Later in the afternoon Mrs. Gray, who is living on West Ohio street, and who has been separated from her husband for several years, called at the morgue and stated that she would take charge of the bodv. She ptated that Gray had been a hard drinker for years, and for this reason she and her husband separated. THE MYSTIC SHKLNE DEGREE.

Commissioners Will Make ao ChangesText Book Recommendations. At the next meeting of the Board of School Commissioners the election of superintendent for the city schools will be held. Superintendent Jones will be elected to succeed himself, as the board is entirely satisfied with the work during: his Incumbency. There are no other3 appearing upon the field for the position, and the election will merely be a formal selection of Mr. Jones to continue in the office for another year. At this meeting the librarian and superintendent of buildings and grounds will also be elected. There is not likely to be any change In either of these offices. Miss Browning, the present librarian, will undoubtedly be re-elected, and the probabilities are that O'Meara, the present superintendent cf builiings and grounds, will have another year's term of office. The text-book question will also be before the board. The committee on text books will make Its retort on that night, and will probably recommend some changes in the books, particularly the music books. A SAD CASE OF "SHOOING." Jauo Dailey's Chickens Brimr About Complications in "Canada." Jane Dalley, colored, residing in "Canada," that part of the city in the vicinity of Eighth street and the canal, was arrested last night, charged with assault and battery, on warrant sworn out by James Lilly, a neighbor. The difficulty arose over some chickens. On Tuesday, March 20, Mrs. Dalley attempted to "shoo" her chickens, which were strolling In the neighboring commons, into her yard. Some of the more exasperating ones tied into Lilly's yard. Mrs. Dailey attempted to knock a chicken out of a hole in the fence, but the chicken dodged and Lilly received the blow. "Den," stated Mrs. Dalley, "dat man Lilly, when he pot de lick dat was aimed fo de chicken, flew all to pieces and swiped at me wif his fist and slammed me right aglnst de fence. If de fence wa'nt in de road I wuld hab bin goin fo'eber. I'se got de vdtnesses, an' I'll sho de nigger who am de one who was gettin' de 'sault an battrey." MAY GET THE FUNDS. Attorney Hawkins's Views of the Eastern Iron Hall Litigation. Attorney Ross Hawkins returned from the East yesterday, where he has been looking after Iron Hall litigation. He says that In Philadelphia a desperate attempt will be made to keep the $107,000 in the hands of Receiver Graham in the State, but he believes that the court will finally ilecide in favor of Receiver Failey. New Jersey has $70,0u0, which Is also being contested, but Mr. Hawkins was informed by the court at Trenton that the funds would undoubtedly be sent to Indiana. It is believed that if the Pennsylvania suit terminates favorably there will be no further trouble in securing the funds all over the country for general distribution. ChniiRcs the Spot on Card. A handsome man of small stature dropped into th3 Journal office last night and announced himself as Professor Malini, the king of sleight of hand performers. He is only twenty-one years old, but before he was through with his informal entertainment there were people ready to believe he was a sage with occult powers. He has a trick that excels those of Hermann and I-Cellar. Klve people think of certain cards, and he straightway proceeds to spread out those card 3 before thm. He holds a card high in his hand and makes it change its spots in a marvelous manner. He is at the Grand Hotel for two weeks, and makes engagements for entertaining at parties. InxnectinK the Monument Elevator. The monument elevator Is being Inspected by an interested 'nsurance agent and will be open to the public Monday. The employes at the monument will be uniformed.

NEW LINE OF ATTACK

Two Men Arrested for Making Bets in the Tron Pool Room. Superintendent Powell Will Hreak Up the Dive by Arresting Those Who Tlay the Races. Superintendent of Police Powell has taken a tack to close the pool room that has been allowed to flourish In this city without interference on the part of the Criminal Court. For the last few days he has had detectives watching the place and posting themselves on the manner of gambling, and yesterday detectives Doherty and McGuff made two arrests as a .result of their observations. Jesse Carlisle and Henry Arnold were arrested on a charge of gambling. They were "playing the races" at Tron's pool room on North Illinois street. Tron was allowed to run his pool room during the entire Sullivan administration, for whose perpetuity in office he contributed a large sum. The Criminal Court did not care to disturb the Democratic boss. After the Journal began to call attention constantly to the evils of this place, Prosecutor Holtzman finally submitted an indictment against one of the proprietors, one of the employes volunteering to give evidence. The Criminal Court then could do but little else than take cognizance of the notorious violation of the law. Douglass was Indicted, but has not been tried. Superintendent Powell did not like this idea of indicting a man and then allowing the room to continue in its open violation. He was advised that people who play the races at the pool room can be prosecuted for gambling, end he proposes to break up the place on this line. The betting he believes comes under the head of gambling, and he intends to make arrests every day. He was asked last night if, in case the men arrested yesterday were fined in the Police Court and they then took an appeal, whether he would allow the matter to drop. "No, sir," said, he; "I wdll not. I will continue to make arrests of all people found gambling in this pool room. I believe it is gambling, pure and simple, and if people go there now after these arrest they will do so at their own risk. We have been investigating the modus operandi of the place, two of the detectives having been stationed there for several days past. A description of Tron s place and the evils of It have been frequently given in the Journal. Recently, fifty or more men end boys could be found about the room betting on the fake races at the winter tracks TURNED ON HIS FATHER. Frank 3Ianney, a Tongh Youth, Tries to Cut His Parent. Frank Manney, aged eighteen years, residing at the corner of New Jersey and Picking streets, was arrested last night by patrolman Shafer on a charge- of assault and battery with intent to kill. Manney, after drinking all day, went home about C o'clock in an intoxicated condition. His father censured him, and Manney, who is very quick tempered, replied that It concerned no one but himself. His father then attempted to reprimand him. Manney resisted and drew a pocketknlfe, with which ho attempted to cut his father. Th? son then ran from the house into the street, all the while calling his father vile names. Afterwards becoming very much exasperated, he picked up a number of bricks and threw them through the windows. This he continued to do until the arrival of patrolman Shafer. Shafer went into the house and found the furniture in a demoralized condition. The mirrors and dishes which were on a table In the kltchrn were broken by the bricks. The outside of the house also presented a storm-beaten appearance. The glass in the windows and doors were broken. At the police station Manney stated that his father was in the habit of mistreating' him. His stcry is not believed. Manney is a tough character for one so youthful. Last winter he severely stabbed a companion jvhlle in a friendly -scuffle. WON DY SOUTHPORT. Indianapolis Shooters Defeated in the Last Match of the Series. There was an Interesting shooting match yesterday afternoon at the grounds of the Indianapolis Club, north of Fall creek. The contest was between the Limited Gun Club, of this city, and the Southport Gun Club. It was the last of a series of three matches, and it was won by the Southport shooters, which makes the score stand: Southport, 2; Indianapolis, 1. Last year the three contests were won by the local club. Then the teams consisted of ten men each; this year there were but six men on a side. Yesterday' each man shot at fifty bluerocks (Inanimate targets), sixteen yards rise. American Associatio rules, the rapid firing system, governed the match. The score stood: Southport Gun Club 243 Limited Gun Club, of Indianapolis 235 The individual scores of the shooters were: Southport Grube, 49; Todd, 32: Smith, 40; Gintley, 40; Trout, 38; Lockwood, 44. , Indianapolis Comstock, ?.S; Moore, 40; Tutewiler, 39; Wildack, 43; Craft, 3G; Townsend, 39. Other contests wdll take place before long, when the Indianapolis shooters expect to make a better showing. DEMORALIZED PENSION OFFICE. More Old Soldiers Make Way for Civilian Appointments. Pension clerks W. P. Downey and David S. Durbln were let out by agent Spencer yesterday. Both are veterans and good clerks. Five have been discharged during the past two weck3 and the office Is said to be in a demoralized condition over the uncertainty as to where the ax will drop next. Twenty-two clerks are awaiting decapitation, and as Senators Voorhees and Turpie and some of the Democratic Congressmen have access to Mr. Spencer's ax, it will not be allowed to remain idle long. The agent is already realizing that he has on his hands a pretty good-sized department, and that it will not! run Itself. At the present rate of discharges the Republicans in .he pension office will not last two months. Old soldiers are being replaced by civilians. Columbia Lincoln League. The regular weekly meeting of the Columbia Lincoln League was held In its rooms in Columbia Hall ast t'ght. A number of speeches were made" and received with enthusiasm. Charles Dennis, candidate for recorder, spoke briefly. He said he was an American-American and did not appeal to any particular class, calling or nationality lor support. If he was not successful he would help elect the man who defeated him. .Mr. Osborne spoke at some length and in scathing terms of the reckless administration of the county affairs under the domination of the County Commissioners. On next Friday night the league will give a free entertainment to its members and their friends. J 11 tit? e llrunn AVI II Not Try It. The suit against the Commercial Club to recover the $17.0') held from the encampment subscriptions will not be tried before Judge Brown.

The Industrial Union, which was opened last June, at No. 125 North Pennsylvania street, has met with such success that the board of managers began to give daily luncheons there some months ago. On March 1, the opposite room was taken and

since that time there has been a constant Increase of business for the union. Two ladles of the board of managers take charge each day and are present from 11:30 to 1:30 to serve luncheon. There was little encouragement that the enterprise would pay the first year. The year will end In April when the report of the work will be made. The union is similar to the woman's exchanges and it is, primarily, to help women who can make salable articles and food. The Dramatic Club will repeat "In Honor Bound," which was given lasl night, this evening for the benefit of the Industrial Union. HE SLEPT SEVERAL DAYS.

Louis DradhofT Disappears and Is Afterwards Found in a Hay Mow. Early Monday morning Louis Bradhoff, a well-known, citizen of. Haughville, residing on Grandview avenue, mysteriously disappeared.

His wife looked after the horses since his disappearance, and yesterday morning, whilo removing some hay, uncovered the body of her unconscious husband. Dr. Cain was at once summoned. After administering to the man the doctor stated that he would recover. Bradhoff's only explanation is that he felt tired, laid down on the hay, covered himself up and went to sleep. He seemed surprised that he had slept so long. It is believed that his mind is affected. He has been in ill health for some time. HE RAISED THE HILLS. Queer Procedure Before Cornty Commissioners in Dr. Young Case. Attornej's Van Voris and Spencer, representing Dr. T. J. Young, yesterday filed three bills with the County Commissioners for $50 each. All three were approved by the coroner. Recently Dr. Young filed the bills for $25 each, but the County Commissioners refused to allow them. The amounts were due the physician, it is alleged, for post mortem work which he had performed. On the refusal of the commissioners to pay the bills, they were raised $25 each and refiled. The commissioners are unable to understand just why the coroner should approve both sets of bills and will contest the accounts. The coroner states that he understood Dr. Young would be compelled to bring suit for his money, and he thought he should have twice the amount of the original claim. Duildlng Permit. Building permits were issued yesterday as follows: F. A. Edgarton, repairs, 52 Virginia avenue, $300. It. Hume, frame house, Orange street, S3S. Julia T.

No. 29 Kentucky avenue, and as she was slightly intoxicated she was Jeered and hooted at by the loungers present. She was ordered to leave by proprietor Heston, which she refused to do. Some one then offered a boy 10 cents to eject the woman from the saloon. This he started to do, but the woman concluded to leave. Patrolman Knauss arrived in a few moments, but the trouble had abated. He is of the opinion that there is a story to the woman's visit. Minor Warn About to Fire.
