Many Employes 1 1 ml Drawn on the Stute Ilnnk. A part of the city employes received their pay for the second quarter of the year yesterday. The police and fire forces received their salaries. Those who had taken adTantage of the arrangement made with the State Bank were given their warrants, -which were cashed at the bank by deducting the amount borrowed during- the quarter. A large number of firemen called at the bank during- the day and received their money. They were admitted and their warrants cashed all day, regardless of the 3o'clock closing rule. But few of the police received their pay, most o' them being held on duty by the strike. Those that were able to do so called for their money. Such of the members of each of the forces as had not drawn on their salaries were paid In full, and received their money at the treasurer's office. The number paid there was not large, however. The total ray roll for the fire department amounted to IS4.6S4.91, and for the police force $25.243.SO. In the department of public health none of the employes was paid yesterdav. The total salaries for the quarter and expenses for the month of June Ir the department of public works was $29,491.10. llelt llond ZVext.

THE CIGARS DID IT

WO.Mi: SEE HOW TIIEIIl SCHOOL CANDIDATE "WAS II EATEN. The Sun Wns fiolnc; Dowu nml 3Ir. Appel Had Two noses Left -Amusing Experiences. The Local Council of Women met In "executive" session yesterday morning la the east parlor of the Propylaeum. A guard was at the door to keep out reporters. The meeting was to be very important, so the president, Mrs. May Wright Sewall, sent down, a document which stated that she would not be present, and that no reporters were to be admitted. Mrs. F. W. Chislett, the vice president, occupied the chair. Heports were called for, but few were forthcoming. One church organization resigned membership and one new society was accepted for membership. There was a long discussion as to whether the local council should adjourn for the summer, and it was finally decided that there should not be an adjournment, but that the officers of the society could call meetings for important business. Mrs. Josephine It. Nichols, who was a worker for a T.-oman on the School Board at the recent election, read a report of her election day experiences. She told of the small briberies which the men politicians practiced to win votes for their candidates, and of how Mr. Appel had his box of cigars with him, and when a vote was offered to the voter a cigar was slipped in the voter's pocket. It was said that $10 was spent for beer for the voters in that district the evening before election, and various other matters wnlch are against the law were practiced. The men carried the day. "As it was decided," she continued, "at the June meeting of the local council that a committee should be arranged for to go to the polls on election day and do what was possible to elect our candidate for school commissioner, a meating was called at the house of the chairman to ascertain who would serve on the committee and to divide the work so that a certain number would be present all the time without making the work a burden upon anyone. Those who had expsrience in such matters suggested that it would be best to have only women who lived in the Eleventh district to represent the council at the polls, while it would be well to have as many women present as were willing to come. At this meeting but one woman who lived in the district, beside the candidate, attended. A. few others outside the district came, and while they would not accept places on the regular force for the day, said they would do what they could if called upon. The plan adopted was to have four ladies serve for two. hours at a time, making relays of this kind to do the work from 8 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock in the evening. The plan seemed feasible; the difficult part was to find the women. The chairman mad? a canvass in the district as far as possible in a day and a half, asking women to take part in the work, and, by securing some names of colored women at a reception of a Woman's Relief Corps which she attended in company with Mrs. Jenckes, the list was made out for the day. On the morning of election day word was brought to the chairman between 8 and 9 o'clock that no woman was present at the polling place, no carriages were there to be used and that when the polls had been opened the tickets for our cadldate were not in sight. Upon going to the place with another woman who had promised to be present in the afternoon, but who was so much interested that I found her preparing to go when I called for her I found the gentlemen who had promised to be there and assist on hand with the tickets and at work, but the ladies who were to be present from 8 to 10 o'clock had not arrived, and no carriages were on hand to use for our candidate, although there were vehicles of all kinds being used with great diligence for the men candidates. In a little while two of the ladies for that time came, and remained through the forenoon, handing tickets to those who came along Fourth street, and otherwise assisting. During the day several cf the women arrived who had pledged themselves to be present, but at no time was there the full complement of the force as had been planned. "The president of the council was on hand for a time in the forenoon, and most of the afternoon, aiding and directing and using her carriage to bring persons for whom it was necessary to send, and when it was suggested in the afternoon that more .vomen should be present, brought some who had not been on th list, but who came to help on being soMcited to do so. Finding a great need of vehicles, some wagons were telephoned for to a livery stable, and were employed during the day to bring to the polls persons who could not leave their business for any great length of time, and some who would not otherwise have come at all. During the forenoon it was decided that it would be well to have our candidate present, and soon after noon she was brought don, and remained until the close. "The work done at the polls was chiefly to hand tickets to voters as they passed up, and occasionally to speak a word in favor of our candidate to those who were uncertain as to how they would vote. It was soon found that the vote for out candidate was by the intelligent class, both black and white, and this was the cas all day. It txas made up of a class of voters who thought for themselves, who could read and write, who could not be bought or bribed, and who represented the most advanced thought upon all public interests. As such it was a real triumph, not only being a confirmation of the wisdom of the plan of offering a woman candidate for an Important iosit!on. but a tribute to the eligibility of the woman nominated for the place; for. In the midst of a struggle between elements in which some very serious questions were involved, the fact that there should be so many intelligent, public-spirited citizens vote for ou candidate proved that it was not merely because it vas a woman to be elected, but because that woman was better fitted bv culture, education, experience and good business qualifications, as well as a disinterested public spirit, to do better work on the School Board than either of the men candidates. "The experience at the polls was a revelation to the women who attended. The ballots were not cast secretly, as in general elections now. so that the same old methods were used that prevailed formerly at presidential and other elections. From early morning it was evident that it was to be an unprecedented fight and that no stone iras to be left unturned to gain a victory by the men candidates, although but one seemed to be employing the irregular methods of bribing with cigars, a young man being posted near the wagons used to bring in the voters for this candidate. He had a box under his arm and was employed in distributing them as necessary; and at one time one of the gentlemen aiding us came, saying it was no use to try and fight against such odds, for Mr. Appel still had two boxes of cigars in th schoolhouse. and it was then late in the day. A large number who voted for this candidate were colored workmen, many of whom could not read. They were brought In the wagons from their1 ork in the sewers or wherever they might be, and as they were unloaded and were rushed under guard up to the ballot box It was seen that each held in his hand a ballot, and in his mouth or fingers often the un lighted cigar with which hf bad beer bribed or secured. If we offered tickets to these men as they passed many of them held them upside down, showing inability to read, and therefore Ignorance of who they were really voting for. the cigar and. rumor said, a class of beer on the wav being all they knew about the matter. Of course it was impossible to try and cope with such methods as these. As early as 7 o'clock on election day a colored man railed on Mrs. Jenckes and Dr. Jenckes, who stated that be offered to bring a crowd of colored men to vote for her if enough money was furnished to give each one a glass of beer and a cigar, stating also how much would be required. Dr. Jenckes referred him to the chairman of the committee at the polls, and later In the day he came with the same proposition to me, and at the close, as I walked home, followed me, claiming that 'as he had spent a good deal of time In erolng alout contradicting the story that Mrs. Jenckes, if elected, would turn out all the colored teachers and put the colored children Into separate buildines at the schools, he ought to have at least enough to buy a pair of shoes.' Another man who had driven one of the wacons wanted an extra sum oecause he had used Influence to secure votes, showing what kind of election methods these people were accustomed to. To show how largely It was a question of cigars and not fitness of the candidate or opinion of the voter, in one instance where a colored man had been handed a ticket by one of Mr. Appel's agents I also handed him one for Mrs. Jenckes, telling him it was for the lady candidate and he could vote as he chose. He handed back the other ticket, saving he would vote for the lady. Without any hesitation or attempt at concealment the man pushed the ticket for Mr. Appel back Into his hand, and with it a cigar, and then taking him by the arm marched him to the ballot box and saw that be voted it. When one of tht. ladles who also saw the transaction approached him about it he said that ne was owner

of some carpet-cleaning works and the colored man was one of his employs. The Constitution of the State of Indiana declares that a candidate who - employs bribery to secure his election is ineligible to hold the office, yet one of the ladies was astonished to see Mr. Appel hand a ticket to a man and at the same time slip p. cigar into his pocket. During the day the owner of the wagons working for Mr. Appel told us that it 'was simply a question of wagons that was involved, and If we had hired his wagons we would have secured a victory.' Put this statement was not supported in the Tenth district, where the same man's wagons were employed for the use of Mrs. McKay. "When expressing astonishment or disapproval at the bribery used in the way of cigars, and the rumors of Deer also being extensively employed and money being used to secure success we were told laughingly 'that was politics.' If this is the case we have but little chance, for it is quite Impossible that we should employ bribery of any kind or other unlawful methods. It would only defeat the ends we seek to gain in securing representation for ourselves. We can, however, gain a clean victory, legitimate in every way, by diligent effort, by systematic organization, by prompt action and by thorough knowledge of the work to be done and ways of doing it, ami the obstacles thrown in the way by corrupt methods may be overcome by courageous exposure of all such whenever employed by denouncing them publicly and by creating a public sentiment against them, rendering them so disreputable and obnoxious that no candidate may hope for support who will employ them. To arouse an interest In this matter and not to gratify any personal feeling or to attack any individual this report is made. As long as candidates can secure election by such methods they are the methods that must be attacked."

TWO GAMES J I HUE TO-DAY. Indianapolis and Minueapdlis Will Play Morning and AUrncon. The Indianapolis ball club returned from Its trip yesterday morning. In spite of Its numerous defeats Manager Sharsig Insists that the team is playing as good ball as any in the Western League, and he is confident that it will win more games than it loses during the next three weeks of play on the home grounds. Another pitcher and a new infielder, it is expected, will be obtained within the next few days, both first-class men from the Southern League. The Indianapolis and Minneapolis clubs will play two games at the East Ohiostreet grounds to-day. The first will be called at 10 o'clock this morning, and either Cross or Phillips, probably the former, will be in the box for the home team. Donnelly and Phillips xlll be in uniform to do the pitching this afternoon. Arrangements have been made to accommodate a large crowd this afternoon. Extra seats have been put in all around. Awnings have been placed on the west side of the grand stand, so as to keep out the sun's rays. All the boxes have been placed on sale, the seats in them being reserved. Tickets for any part of the grounds can be bought down town at the cigar stores of C. F. Meyer & Pro. and Herman Adams, without extra charge. Special baseball trains will be run, both for the morning and afternoon games. THE ZIGZAG TOURNAMENT. Champion Johnson and Other Famous Cyclers Will De Here. The Zigzag Cycling Club i3 making active preparations for its fourth annual tournament, which takes place at the State fair grounds, Thursday and Friday, July 27 and 28. The tickets are already out. The club already has promises from several of the large manufacturers, who have teams on the path, that their men will be here to do battle in royal style for laurels for the wheels they represent as well as for the handsome prizes offered by the club. The 11,000 gold cup, which was the special prize given by the club last year in the one-mile international race, was the finest prize ever offered by any club for a bicycle race in the world. This cup was won by the champion Zimmerman, and bearing the emblem of the Zigzag Cycling Club, of Indianapolis, has been on exhibition at cycle shows all over the world ever since as the most elegant and expensive prize ever won by this famous rider. It was exhibited by the cycling company of which he is a member, and has attracted widespread attention and received lots of press notices wherever it was shown. As the racing men have been divided into two classes by the racing board, the sport has been greatly benefited. John S. Johnson, the man who reduced the mile record to lmM; Walter Sanger, George Taylor, Harry Tyler, F. J. Titus and over a hundred other prominent racing men are expected. BOLDER THAN ARIZONA PETE. Stranger Takes Boone McKee's Horso Under Unusual Circumstauces. A peculiar theft was reported to the police yesterday. Boone McKee had his horse hitched on North Pennsylvania street near University Park In the afternoon. In some manner the animal got loose and dashed north on Pennsylvania street. It was captured at Second street by Booth Tarklngton. As he was waiting, undecided what to do with the animal, a well-dressed, athletic looking man, aged about twentyfive years, stepped up to him and said, "Much obliged to you. You have saved me a great deal of trouble." The man acted as if he was the owner of the animal, and Tarklngton turned the animal over to him. The latter immediately mounted the horse and disappeared in a short time. Just as he was lost sight of the colored porter of McKee came running up to Tarklngton and explained that he was hunting for a runaway horse. Tarklngton told him of the occurrence of a few moments before and described the horse. Tne porter said it was the horse he was hunting for, and he immediately left in the direction taken by the stranger. The matter was reported to the police, but neither the stranger nor the horse were captured at a late hour last night. CONVENTION OF SEVENTEEN. rrohibitionists Can Get No One to Run for Congress. The township and congressional district Prohibition conventions were held in Room 2 of the Superior Court yesterday morning. There iere just seventeen persons In attendance. The township convention met first and nominated justices of the peace as follows: Bright wood, John C. Hoss; Center township, IJ. F. Bushong; "West Indianapolis, B. F. Morgan. No one could be found to take the nomination for township trustee, and no nomination was made. There was no nomination for Congress. The name of J. W. Maxwell, pastor of the Lincoln-avenue Church, was mentioned, but it was decided that he had not resided in the State long enough. Mr. McWhirter said the State committee intended to poll the State. A I'rnetienl Invention. One of the simplest and greatest laborsaving small Inventions of the age is an air blast for cleaning purposes. The ma chine is charged with air under forty pounds pressure to the square inch and is turned upon the article to be cleaned the same as water with hose for washing purposes. It is by far superior to brooms, beaters or dusters, as it penetrates and thoroughly traces every crevice In the article to be cleaned. This device is at present applied to cleaning cars, and is so perfect in its work that it will rapidly come into general use for all cleaning purposes. Halls, hotels and large buildings can be swept and dusted in an incredibly short time. Troperly handled it will rid the room of every particle of dust, clean furniture, carpets, plushes, furs and ornaments. It will do the work of a dozen people. Mr. W. K. Nation, of Kokomo, Ind., the owner of the patent, is in the city quietly arranging to place it in general use. The Cilldeniecster fc IvroeRcr Plnno. After superintending the entire construction of the Steinway pianos, the finest in the world, for twenty years, Mr. Henry Kroeger d elded he could do the same for himself. The result is the "(.Jildemeester & Kroeger" piano, one of the finest made, and having been manufactured for rears, long enough to thoroughly demonstrate its fine qualities and reliability.

WASTED, A REGIMENT

COMMCItCIAI, CLUll TALKS OP SECURING A 3IILITAKY POST. 3InJ. Varney SuRKeed Hint Inrilnnnpolln Get nu Immense Testing Plnnt fur the Arxennl. For several weeks there has been under consideration by the Commercial Club a project to secure at Indianapolis a regiment cf United States Infantry. It i3 ur-jed in support of the project that the central location of Indianapolis and its railroad facilities in all directions makes it r.n exceptionally advantageous point as headquarters for troops. The surroundings of the city ara such., also, that it seems to be important that troops should be located here. In a business way it would be advantageous to the city, as an expenditure of from $20,000 to $30,000 a month by the government for the support of troops would be an important addition to the trade of the city. Besides, the location of a regiment at this point would bring with it also a military band, which, with the regular drills of the troops would be an attractive feature of city life. As it seems likely that it will b the policy of the government to transfer troops from the Indian reservations in the West to points near the large cities, now seems to be a favorable time for urging consideration of, Indianapolis as one of these points. The matter has been under consideration for some time and Is taking shape. At the meeting of the directors yesterday afternoon Secretary Fortune reported that he had recently had a talk with Major Varney, of the Indianapolis arsenal, regarding the project, and Major Varney had expressed the opinion that while he believed it would be desirable to have infantry located at this point that he thought it would be a mistake to propose the arsenal property for this purpose. He says, for obvious reasons, the troops should be located at a distance of three or four miles from the city, and that it is the policy of the army not to quarter them in inhabited districts. A letter from Major Varney .making further suggestions with reference to the project was read as follows: "Referring to my recent conversation with you concerning the advisability of quartering line troops at this arsenal, I wish to say further what I omitted to say on that occasion, viz.: that if the Commercial Club desires to take any steps toward increasing the" usefulness and importance of this arsenal it would be vastly better for local, as well as for the national interests, to endeavor to secure instead the establishment here of a large physical laboratory, which should include in Its equipment a testing machine of equal or greater capacity Jian that of the famous machine at Watertown Arsenal, Massachusetts. "The Watertown machine has a capacity of nearly one million pounds and a marvelous accuracy throughout the range of its tremendous power, making it a recognized triumph of mechanical genius not only in this country but throughout the civilized world. It has been in constant use for more than twenty years under the immediate charge of Mr. James E. Howard, an accomplished civil engineer, acting uni!er the direction of the chief of ordnance. To a thorough preliminary technical training Mr. Howard has added a rich practical experience, which has made him the best living authority on the strength of materials. He has made all the scientific tests which have led to the improvements of steel, which made possible the construction of the largest types of high power steel cannon in this country. The range of his experiments has covered not only the experimental work of the ordnance and engineer departments of the United States army and navy but also of thousands of establishments engaged in construction work in architecture and every known department of engineering, civil, mechanical, electrical, mining, etc., in this country and even beyond the sea. "The demand for the work has outgrown the capacitv, if not of Mr. Howard, that of the machine, great as it Is, and there should bo another in the interior of the country where it can be made available without transporting material over such long distances. Such a machine, with the improvements made possible by experience, would cost in the neighborhood of $100,000. The necessary buildings with suitable equipments, including chemical laboratory, etc.. would cost as much more. There is an admirable location for such an establishment at the north end of the arsenal grounds on Clifford avenue. It would be a splendid acquisition for the city of Indianapolis as well as for the country at large, and if the Commercial Club can manage to secure it it certainly deserves to be considered a public benefactor. "On the other hand, there can be no doubt that the policy of establishing an infantry post in the vicinity of Indianapolis is sound and wise.. Its location, however, within the city limits would not be approved after trial I am sure. Neither, in my judgment, could the War Department be Induced to consent to it. It should not be nearer than Broad Ripple or the bluffs of White river to the northwest of the town. A regiment so located would insure "peace and quiet for the city; discipline could be maintained, and, what is also of vast importance. It would be in the best possible position for duty at all points in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. Much more could be said upon all these points, but this is sufficient to place the matter before the club from my standpoint." The directors, after discussion of the subject, unanimously offered a vote of thanks to Major Varney for his suggestions and referred his letter to the committee on city interests for consideration in connection with the steps which have already been taken by that committee. A letter from Mr. T. K. Huston, secretary of the Business Men's Association, of Cannelton, urging consideration of a project for building a railroad line from Indianapolis to the south by way of Cannelton, was referred to the committee on city Interests. President "Lilly announced that he had appointed General Carnahan a member of the committee on city interests. Another important matter which was considered by the directors was the suggestion reported to the officers as coming from business men to the effect that the mail, express and freight facilities of Indianapolis could in some respects probably be improved by a change of train schedule. Business men had complained to the officers of the club that mall and express sent from Indianapolis does not reach some points between this city and the neighboring cities of Chicago. Cincinnati, Louisville and St. Touis as early as when sent from these cities, where the distance from the points are equal. In the opinion of the directors steps should be taken to remedy this, so that Indianapolis would at least have equal advantages in reaching points as near to it as other cities. The secretary was authorized to take up the matter by correspondence with business men and invite from them definite statements as to their complaints, with a view to bringing about advantageous changes. Charles K. Test and Arthur C. Newby were admitted to membership in th club. Both Mr. Test and Mr. Newby made stock subscriptions of $100. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mr. and Mrs. A. M.

AXD MIST PAY THE PENALTY FOR KILLING CARTER HARRISON. Jury Decides that the Asnsln In Not Crnzy, and the Court Sentences Him to lie Hanged July 13. CHICAGO, July 3. Prendergast, the assassin of Mayor Carter II. Harrison, was declared "not insane" by a jury in Judge Payne's court this afternoon, and, under sentence of the court, must be hanged Friday, July 13. The jury was out just two hours and five minutes. There was much confusion in the court room among the waiting lawyers and spectators just before the ' jury came in when a movement was noticed among the bailiffs. In a few moments Prendergast was brought in. With him were six bailiffs, who stood along the passageway back of which the prisoner sat, to the door leading to the bridge connecting with the Jail. Then a hush fell upon the court room.' Every one there seemed Impressed with the solemnity of the occasion. Judge Payn took his place on the bench and the jurors tiled into their seats in the oox. "Gentlemen of the jury," said Judge Tayne, "have you agreed upon your verdict?" "Yes, your Honor," said foreman Chas. B. Schenck as he partly arose from his chair. "Read the verdict," said the court. The clerk unfolded the paper and read in a distinct voice the doom of Prendergast in these words: "We, the jury, find Patrick Eugene Prendergast not insane nor lunatic." The paper was signed by foreman Schenck and all the jurors. Mr. Gregory asked that the jury be polled, and the name of each juror was called. "Was this and is this now your verdict?" was the question asked. "It is," came the answer in every case. Then, addressing the jury. Judge Payne said: "Gentlemen. I want very much to thank you for the attention you have given tnis difficult case and the faithful manner in which you have performed your duty. I want you to know that I appreciate the deprivations you have undergone during your continement. Gentlemen, you are discharged." Prendergast sat unmoved during the whole proceeding. He made no outcry and was at once removed to his cell in the jail. His counsel will move for a new trial, and if this be not granted they have expressed their intention ot carrying the matter to the Supreme Court. Messrs. Darrow, Harland, Gregory and Heron, who have .made such a. stubborn light for Prendergast, were all in court wnen the verdict was rendered. Assistant State's Attorneys Morrison and Todd were there, but neither the assassin's mother nor brother was present. When the jury received the Instructions of the court and retired to deliberate the court room was more crowded than at any time heretofore in this trial, which has attracted so wide attention. Prendergast sat unmoved during the reading of Judge Payne's charge. His. mother and brother weie then in the court room. Judge Payne read his charge from the witness's chair, which stands between the bench and the jury box. He spoke in a clear, calm voice, enunciated distinctly and slowly, and the jury paid close attention to every word. The charge was considered a fair exposition of the law. It confined the jury to the consideration of the point that the prisoner had gone Insane since the verdict of the jury which, held him responsible for the murder of Mayor Harrison and affixed the death penalty. The jurors could, however, the court said, find Prendergast insane if they deemed that he failed to realize the nature of the present proceedings, if he failed to appreciate his present position before the law touching his execution or that he was in such a state of mind as to disable him from preparing for death; in short, if his execution on the gallows would be inhuman.
