THE FALL OF POMPEII

Opening Night of the Spectacle at Carnival Park a Success, A Brilliant Scene of Festivities in the Iilfiited City, with a Wealth of Coloring in the Costumes. EPU.PTI0N OF MT. VESUVIUS Display of Fireworks Never Before Equaled in this City. Many Original DesignsStartling Performance of a Wire Walker Unusually Good Specialty Artist. The flashing of brilliant lights on beautiful scenery and a procession of flower glrl3 gaily dressed, companies of soldiers panoplied as in the days of ftomes greatness, priests swinging censer3 in honor of the feast of Isis and troops of dancing girls swaying here and there to the rhythm of the festive music all this opened the"Last Days of Pompeii" spectacle last night. The close, after the destruction of the city, was amid a blaze of the most dazzling and artistically constructed pyrotechnics ever shown in Indianapolis. It Is, Indeed, difficult to discriminate in commenting on the greatness of the spectacle and the wonders of the fireworks. The committee that attended to the management of this public enterprise awaited the opening: night with some anxiety, but the members were very well satisfied with the success, even the minor hitches of a first night being comparatively few and having no marring effect on. the smoothness of the performance. Many of the feats given by the acrobats were marvelous. The spectacle Is destined to become pdpular and the several thousand who saw it last night will aid in spreading the story of it abroad. Those who arrived at the grounds early were entertained by a band concert until half past 8 o'ctock. when the first movement of life on the big stage was noticed. Back of the audience were arrang-ed a dozen or more electric arc lights, with reflectors so placed as to throw a light over the assemblage without causing people to blink their eyes. The amphitheater Is so constructed that there are no bad seats, an unobstructed view being obtained from any portion of it. Down on the lake, which reflected the glare of the lights, several squads of ducks patrolled the water front and quacked for the edification of those who had come early to get, as they supposed, the best seats. The stage lights had not been turned on, but In the pale " light from the amphitheater the spectral shape of the classic buildings of Pompeii could be discerned. There was the appearance of a city under the light of the crescent moon. Back of all loomed the dark Vesuvius, with no indication of the terrible belching1 of fire that was to destroy the city. When the lights on the stage flashed up the scene was one of grandeur. The artist who painted that scenery representing the mountain is more than a stage scenic artist. He has obtained, by the perspective and shading, a most natural effect, which the outlining against the black sky heightens. Half way up the slope is a marble temple that stands out clearly, and houses are seen on the roads leading up from the city. The blue haze of the distant mountain is another ar tistic effect. From around the corner of the Temple of Isis a small group of citizens first made their appearance. From their dress they were evidently a part of the rabble, and they shouted at the thoughts of the approaching festivities. Small boys scampered across the space In front of the temple, frollced awhile and waited for the coming of soldiers in their red cloaks and polished trappings. The soldiers arrayed themselves in a flank from the marble temple, while graceful dancers glided to the foreground and went through pretty figures. Then a procession was formed and the several hundred people made a picturesque sight, the variety of the costumes and the changing movements giving a pleasing picture for a few minutes. A blare of trumpets announced the coming of Arbaces, the rich Kgyptian, who was received with great respect by the people whom he was to furnish amusement. The trumpets sounded again and two barges approached the landing from the west. The people crowded down to the water, however, observing a respectful distance, for Arbaces was to receive the fair lone, whom he loved. But lone is with the Greek Glaucus, whom Arbaces ignored as the boat landed. lone snowed that she did not relish such a reception, and she indicated this to the rich Egyptian. He clasped the hand of Glaucus, but Immediately dropped it. Glaucus walked by the eide of Nyrtia, the blind nower girl, and the four took their Station on the steps of Arbaces's house to await the camej. The pames consist of specialties given underthe glare of red lights. The Martinez family consists of three excelient performers, father, mother and daughter. The two older ones did a daring 'act on a ladder balanced on a trapeze swung over the lake. Ial Petite Evylyn, eight years old. astonished the crowd by her contortions. She twisted herself into all sorts of shapes and untwisted herself with much' grace and ease. The Lenton brothers had an act attempted by few acrobats. They were in Chinese costume and addid a comedy touch to their work. A difficult act was that of one brother balancing himself without support on the olher brother, head to head. In this position the brother underneath walked over an incline. The White City dancers in the "La Corporal" ballet had original figures, very pretty and well danced. At the close of their act they rushed to the water and with bows discharged fiery arrows into the lake. The St. Pierre brothers, hat jugglers, wure very clever and much more uexterous than the clowns usually seen in a circus. Prof. Jean Weitzman had a startling act, and many people held their breath at one part of his performance. It was hard to tell whether he was about to be burned to death by the exploding fireworks under the wire, or that It was a part of the programme that he should expose himself to such a risk. A high wire had been sketched across the lake from end to end. and on this the Professor tread as if on i!'.id. On both ends of a long balancing pole largo, pin wheels had been fastened, and after he lighted these and started on a trip p cross the wire the sparks set off a large design. When over a large net in the middle of the lake the sparks fell on the net, and In the passing of a moment there was a sputtering and a fizzling of hundreds of candle and pyrotechnics. Showers of sparks and flames enjtulfed the Professor, and not a few people thought it was all an accident, and that the wire-walker would perish. However, he showed a remarkable heroism In the Cassibianca act, and after the last spark died out he cool ly retraced his steps. The calcium light failed to work last night, but this did not materially interfere with any of these specialties. La Petite Evylyn appeared again In pole balancing, and won a deserved encore. After the games ended priests came out of the temple with a golden calf, the idol of the Egyptian goddess. The crowds all kneeled to this, while Arbaces cried out: "If there be a Christian present, let him worship the goddess, or death b unto him." A cry was started that "Glaucus Is a Christian." Glaucus, without terror, approached the golden calf to strike it. while lone. his tetrothed. shuddered. Nyilla, t'.ie blind girl, rushed between Glaucus and the calf and prevented him from striking it. but overturned, the tripod at the Idol's feet." A faint smoke had beep pouring from the crater of Vesuvius, but M this act of Nydia's there was a terrlM hissing and nole as the V.-lcan-began to throw high into the air Its molten lava. Urge Assures appeared" In tho mountain side and In them was seen the glow of the fire. The people wr thrown into fearful confusion, men dashed

over women and children, columns tottered and fell, Arbaces suffering death under on of them. Housetops tumbled, tiles rolled to the srround and the marble temple shook. Huge roar after roar fell upon the ear and a rain of fire from the wrathful mountain tops fell down on the fated city. The pyrotechnist's art produce..! a scene that was terribly grand. Finally with a crash the columns of the marble temple gave way and the big stones fell tr the ground, a bit of strong realism being r.ie narrow escape of a doz?n or more of tre citizens. For five minutes Vesuvius belched forth fire and then the crater culeted down to a steady glow. All was ruin about the fair'city. The band, which by the way occupies an admirable position on a stand extending into the lake, struck up a lively tune to enliven the gloom. Then came the fireworks. It cost several thousand dollars to produce the fireworks given one night during the national Grand Army encampment, but those of last night far eclipsed the encampment display, both in splendor and originality. Several dozen mines mounted on small blocks were thrown into the lake and they sent up dense showers of golden sparks like magical fountains. Other pieces thrown into the water acted in a very peculiar way, diving like ducks, time after time, and spluttering as they came to the surface the 'water seemed to have no effect on the fire element. The bomb effects were decidedly original. Thousands of stars of many colors were scattered on the black sky. while the rockets ascended to a great height and scattered a profusion of wiggles and what-nots. The chain rKkets were novel, chains of fire balls being released high in the air and lloating leisurely to the ground. The first set pieces exhibited consisted of flower designs on high trellis work. There were fan-ttstically-shaped effects from the exploding pieces too numerous to describe. One of the set designs that obtained applause was that of a laboring man in fire. A big elephant, presumably Jumbo, outlined In brilliant fire, walked across the stage, wagged his tail and rolled up his trunk. Then there was a gymnastic gentleman, all clothed in blue liRhts, who djd the giant swing on a turning pole and created no end of amusement. The American flaff was aio shown in fire. The fireworks each night arp of the value of Sl.OU). but thev are the best for that

price ever given in Indiana. The designs are not old ones, but hold the eve by their originality. On Thursday night the spectacle will be repeated, and as It is Indiana night the likeness of the Governor will be one of the designs. Saturday night will be United States nior-U. These are the onlv two further performances this week. Next week there will be three, with four the following week, which is State fair week. TUB CITY OX CANVAS. The OheliHkH, Triumphal Areli and Other Feature of Scenery. The first view one has of Carnival Park, where the "Last Days of Pompeii" is being given, is of a high board fence at the corner of Central avenue and Sixteenth street. This fence, which seems to inclose more than a square, rises some twenty feet or more on the south side and slopes down to ten or twelve on the north. Around the south side are nine tall poles, where there are electric lights, which illuminate the place with a wonderful brilliancy. At the south side rises tier after tier of seats. Those at the side are like circus seats, but those in the center are chairs, and In the lowest row the entire width of the space is partitioned with rails and inside are reserved chairs. The chairs arc 'called reserved seats, not that anyone is given a check for a special chair, but with the ticket is given the assurance that there will not be more tickets sold than there are chairs for any performance. It would be Impossible to find chair numbers In the light given. It is also supposed that persons who come first will take the chairs to the center. The management has made arrangements to seat about ten thousand people. In the center of the inclosure is a lake, and floating about in it are white ducks. This lake separates the spectators from the stage. There is but little spoken by the performers. It reminds one of the lagoons at the fair. Facing the spectator rises the city of Pompeii. To appreciate the play as it is given the Bulwer Lytton historical novel, "Last Days of Pompeii," should be read, for the entertainment has followed the lines of the book as nearly as possible. It is said that so many discoveries have been made since the book was written that it is no longer correct. In the selections of characters all the heroes and heroines of Bulwer Lytton's work may be easily found in the play. There rise io the right of the spectator obelisks, and hieroglyphics adorn the sides of these "needles." Passing in procession at the top are three funny-looking crows in the gowns of Judges. The Temple of Neptune is the classic name of the bath house which is to the left. Here the tall Roman columns, surmounted by their severe capitals, are gorgeous in their underdress of bright red, shading Into white at the top. The black Interior furnishes a fine background for the figures whicii emerge from it. The city surrounds the lake, and is semi-circular. Then come a number of houses, with their red-tiled roofs slightly sloping, a contrast to others which are as flat as a floor. In the center of the scene 13 the great triumphal arch. Looking through it can be seen the village at the base of Vesuvius. There are the trees and tho litle white houses, the red roofs, and, standing high above all. towers Vesuvius. Tnere la a little smoke rising from ttie center of the crater, such as is usually seen. All is ulet and serene, and there is iK thought of the great eruption which shall break forth in a snort time. Further to the left of the triumphal arc1!! is the temple of Isis. At its crown is tne familiar picture of Romans and their chariots, Widen adorn so many of the theaters and are seen in tne planter molds of classic scenes. Next to tne temple is the gateway of an amphitheater, with its low arCii. The semi-circle ends with the tell columns, surmounted by bronz horses, and the edge of the city is shown, with more trees. The storm of Sunday played havoc with iome of the scenery of Pompeii, and Mount Vesuvius, which mar y suppose to rest on a foundation of earth, swayed and cracked. ana tne iimDers wnich held it In piace gave way In the wind. Workmen were busy all dav yesterday raising it to its height of eighty feet above the vast assemblage of canvas and scenery. For the Vesuvius there are four tall poles, like those for telegraph or telephone wires, and in its cru'.le state a miniature Kiffel tower, with its platforms, would answer for a description. The whole semi-circle Is a framework of stout timbers, and against them Is raised the scenery of the entertainment. This scenery Is painted on canvas and attached to slats, so that it can be rolled for transportation or lowered in case of wind or rain, as. on Sunday. The chariots for the riders are of red or blue, tni are such as are pictured by Gen. Lew Wallace in "Ben-Hur." The boats, canopies and all the appurtenances nave been made with accuracy, and follow the very best descriptions that could be secured. The costumes used are also exact counterparts of those worn in that time. To the rear of the "city" there is the framework and back of the canvas to be seen, but this is a small part. With three hundred persons in the show there is much to manage. Mr. and Madame Uose, who have entire charge, are generals in their line. For the men, women and children there are ample dressing rooms, made of rough boards, civered with a noncombustlble paper. In all of the ground It would seem that there need be no crowding, but to handle so many required a perfect obediance to orders. At the extreme center of the rear field is the powder magazine, containing all the fireworks, away from any danger, and not at all liable to go up in smoke, as it did last year in St. Louis. To secure correct costumes the lines of Bulwer Lytton's book and every possible aid have been used to have exact duplicates of what was worn then. The citizens wear the draped gowns and togas as they promenade in the foreground. Nydia the blind girl, appears In pure white, classic gnwn. and lone in the rich costume peculiar to the day. The Senators have the heavy purple robes and the flower girls wear gay striped gowns. The priests enter In white, the first priest wearing the 'regalia of the Goddess of Isis. The flower bearers are an attractive group, with their bright-colored dresses and burdens of blossoms. The bearers of the calf wear old gold and blue gowns, with white wigs. The latter are emblems of purltv, for they were supposed to be purified by fire. The trumpfters announce with their great long horns the arrival of the grand procession, and then come In the whole assemblage of players, twenty-four standard bearers and twtnty-four Roman guards, with banners and standards. The standards are absolutely correct In design, with the lion and eigies. The censer bearer escort the hlci priest, and then follow the larers with the golden calf. Next In the line are the virgin)", all In wh!t and then flower girls 'n gaudy gowns. Th Arab boys wear the Tlouin dress of red anil white, or blue nnd white stripes, and turbans, and the vater carriers come in in gnv. f.ie fan Vrt3reTM carrv the great peacock fans, and are slaves from Kgypt. wearing the Egyptian dress. Men slaves follow In garments of the Moor and Egyptian. The gentle-

men of the city and the guards make up the brilliant procession as it passes slowly before the city. EXCELLENT STREET CAR SERVICE.

The Larjre Crowd Wni Admirably Handled The Audience." The hour announced for the evening performance was 8:30, but long before that time the chairs and benches were well filled. The attendance was probably in the neighborhood of four thousand. Just about as many reserved seats were occupied as the cheaper seats. The reserved seats were entered from the south and the free seats from either side. Chairs filled the center of the amphitheater space and benches each side. It seemed as If everbody was there. It was a quiet aduience till the voices of the "lemonade, peanuts, cigarettes and chewing gum" venders filled the air, and then persons began to chatter. As soon as the specialty performances began the enthusiasm grew and continued to grow till the final shower of rockets rent the air and the band began to play an air suggestive of home, sweet home. The crowd was unusually orderly. There was no pushing and jostling. Very few frose from their seats till the show was . over, and then leisurely took their way to the street. Never in the history of entertainments In thl3 city has there been such admirable street car facilities. For the occasion a loop was built around Carnival Park. The cars ran up Central avenue from Sixteenth street and turned on the loop, thus plaoing them In position to cross Sixteenth ana come down conege avenue, mere were a score of motors with two and three trailers each Ftandincr ready, and as fast as one was filled It moved off and made room for others. Some were filled by the crowds who rushed down to meet them. It was lust 10 o'clock whn the performance was over and in half an hour the place was almost in darkness. Some of the cars went bck to pick un late straglers. Manager McLean has demonstrated that he knows how to manage the service on p. heavy day, and that too in the face of having- the explosion at the new power house Friday, leaving the company in an unanticipated crippled condition. There were cars for all of the other points where the Labor day, races and picnics held forth. A PAINTER'S FATAL FALL. E'Jward Hathaway Instantly Killed at the Louisiana-Street Car Stables. Edward Hathaway and brother "William were working on a scaffold thirty feet above the ground at the Louisiana-street stables of tho Citlzsns' company, yesterday at noon, when, owing to a faulty, fastening, a rope slipped, causing the scaffold to give way. Edward fell to the ground and was Instantly killed. The two contracted to paint the large smokestack several days ago and started on their arrangements yesterday. At noon all was ready for the hoisting of the scaffold, w-hlch consisted of a small ladder. As it was about to be raised William said that he did not believe the fastenings were secure, and wanted to fix them. His brother laughed and gave the order for the hoist. When about five feet above the roof of the 'stables the hook attached to the guy rope slipped and the scaffold gave way. Both fell. William landing on the roof and escaping with slight bruises. Edward missed the roof and fell to the sidewalk. Death was instantaneous, as his neck was broken and his skull fractured. The dead man resided with his brother at No. 412 West Washington street, though his home is in Terre Haute. He leaves a wife and two children, who are at present in that -city. He was thirty years old. As' soon as Coroner Beck makes an investigation the remains will be sent to Terre Haute for burial. INSULTED LADIES. Enos Champ, a Man of Wealth, Arrested for Making1 Himself Obnoxious. Enos Champ, a man sixty years of age, who has been making hlnoseif obnoxious to many ladles in the business portion of the city, was arrested yesterday by patrolman Corrlgan on a charge of loitering. Chamu's home is in Anderson, but for some time past - he has been living with his sister in this city. He is reported to be wealthy and averse to work. A number of ladies employed in offices and stores in the vicinity of Pennsylvania and "Washington streets have been so intimidated by him that they would not leave their places of work at evening unless assured by patrolman CorriBan, who stands at the corner, that Champ was not around. The management of the New York store complained to Superintendent Powell about Cham;. and yesterday morning the superintendent investigated the complaints. For an hour he followed Champ and saw him attempt to make impressions on ladles, many of whom he grosslv insulted. Champ wn warned to desist from his insulting habits and promised to do so. but In the afternoon the superintendent found him at his old tricks again and had patrolman Corrlgan arrest him. Several days ago Corrlaran received a letter from a young woman who said Champ hal insulted her a number of times as she was waiting for a car at the comer of Pennsylvania and Washington streets.

THE DAY FOR LABOR

I1IG PARADE WITNESSED DY LARGE CROWDS OF PEOPLE. Exceptionally Large Attendnnce nt the Grove Speeches nnd Amusements Provided for the Visitors. The members of the labor unions of Indianapolis felicitated themselves last night upon the success of the Labor day demonstration. The weather, could not have been better during the day if It had been made to order, and a large number of people took advantage of the holiday. Most of the stores as well as the greater part of the shops and factories were cl'sed and their employes turned out to assist in making labor's great day the success it was. The demonstration began with the parade in the morning, and long before the hour for the column to move the streets down town along the line of march were lined with people. The hour set for the parade to start was 9 o'clock, but It was late la moving and the crowd evinced the usual impatience at the delay. Monument Place was the location sought by the largest crowds, and before 9 o'clock It was dense with people who came early to-get an advantageous position. The steps leading to the monument were crowded. The delay, in getting the column started consumed nearly one hour. The parade formed at Meridian and Ohio streets, and when the platoon of police appeared at this place the procession was not ready for some time. The police were dismissed by the captain and fell in at the head of the procession later, after it got under way. It was nearly 10 o'clock before the start was made. In the meantime the marshals and committees in charge were dashing up and down the line vainly endeavoring to secure some sort of order. The line of march was as follows; , Starting at the intersection of Ohio and Meridian streets, south on Meridian to Monument Place, thence to Market street, east to Delaware street, south to Washington street, east to Noble street on north side of Washington street, countermarch cm south side of Washington street to Pennsylvania street, south to Maryland street, west to- Meridian street, south to Georgia street, west to Capitol avenue, north to Washhigon street and disband. When the column moved off, Charles Hacker, chief marshal of the first division, rode at the head on a roan horse. At the corner of Market and Pennsylvania streets tho procession was met by the platoon of police under Captain Qulgley, and the police marched from there. A number of vehicles had collected along the line of march and the police and marshaU had their Jiands full in getting these out of the street so as not to interfere with the procession. MARCHING TWO ABREAST. The men marched two abreast. At the beginning some of them had small representations, but men fell in line all along the route and the procession was considerably larger at the wind up than at' the point of beginning. Cigar Makers', No. S3, headed the procession. This union had a large number In line, and all of the men .were well and neatly attired without any especial uniform to distinguish their craft. The bakers also turned out In goodly numbers and were dlstlnguisied by the usual uniform, the white cap and shirts. The natty uniforms were very attractive and the abundance of white drew all eyes upon them as they passed along the line. Another neatly attired union was the Typographical Union, with soft hats and linen dusters. They were noticeable both on account of the neatness of their at tire" and the numbers in line. The carpenters had by far the largest number of men. At the head of the third division rode Marshal William Leathers. The division wa3 led by the Painters' Union, which was represented by one hundred men. The painters have a rule affixing a fine of $5 for any member failing to turn out In the Labor day parade and a line assessed for thla cause is seldom remitted. The result is that this union turns out very strong Behind the painters came the Retail Clerks' Union. When the procession moved from Ohio and Meridian streets the clerks did not fall In line. At that time there were not more than a half dozen of them at hand. They at first decided not to enter the parade at all, but alterward? got a number of their men together and fell in behind the painters. The failure of the clerks to start with the parade was due to the fact that a number of them were compelled to work for a time during the morning and did not get away from the stores where they were employed till after the hour set for the starting of the parade The rear of the procession was brought up by the colored men. They formed a division, every man or wnicn was colored. AT THE GROUNDS. When the line broke at Capitol avenue and Washington streets the men who had been in it immediately proceeded to Lincoln Park grove, either by rail or by street car. It was here that the amusements provided for the day were to be had. From 10 o'clock on the cars were carrying out large crowds. The workingmen had two counter attrac tions to work against, but succeeded in get ting an unusually large crowd into the grounds east of the fair grounds. Immediately in the rear of Ardmore. During the afternoon there were speeches by F. T. Mc Whirter and J. B. Maynard. To gain ad mission to the grove where the Labor day celebration was being had It was necessary to pass through Ardmore-. Hero there was beer In plentiful quaniltles. After passing through Ardmore one entered the Lincoln Park grove. Here a small pavilion had been erected, upon which there was dancing during the day and evening. Beside the dancing pavilion was the comakers' tent. and while tie orators of the uy were talk ing the band outside was playing music for the dancers. The speakers consequently found It sometimes ditncuh to make them selves clearly understood. Th- greater num ber of the people in the grove preferred enjoying the amusements prvi.ld to listening to speeches, and the tent was not crowded at am' time. The various athletic contests proved the greatest attraction. All the time they were in progress there was a large crowd about the ropes stretched from tree to tree to keep the crowds back. There was the usual number of fakirs upon the grounds with their varied contrivances for drawing money out or the patrons of the grove. There were a number of "baby" racks. cane boards, strength testers and the like All of them were fairly well patronized. The crowd was a mixed one. A number of workingmen drove to the prk in carriages with their families and remained during the day. The Pings !Vot Vp. There is much indignation in the ranks of organized labor on account of the refusal of the Democratio State officials to recog nize Labor day by floating flags from the Capitol domes. It is the practice to float fiag3 from the domes upon all holidays. As Labor day has been made a legal holi day In this State the workingmen were indisrnant at the neglect of .e State of ficials to recognize It a3 other holidays. The absence or nags on me capitoi building was the subject of much adverse Com ment yesterday. Sorre of the men were Inclined to believe that it was not merely neglect. Street-Cnr Dnmnge Repaired. Since the explosion at the We3t Washing ton-street power house of the Citizens' Street-railroad Company, last Friday, which wrecked a boiler and badly crippled the car service, the work of repair has been steadily pushed, and yesterday morn ing it was completed end power distributed from that point. The motors and trailers which were taken off on account of the explosion were put Into service again, as well as many others which had been housed in the stables. It was feared it would require several weeks to remedy the damage, but General Manager McLean put a large rorce or men ac worK. tne Atlas engine works having charge of re pairing the boiler. Chandler & Taylor the smokestack. Knight & Jillson the plumbinr and gas fixtures, the Brown-Ketcham Company the building, and the street-car employes the clearing away of the debris. The car system is now more effective than before the explosion. Candidate for Judicial Honors. The friends of A. H. Snow, of the law firm of Butler. Snow & Butler, last night announced that gentleman's candidacy for Judge In Room 3. of the Superior Court. Vinson Carter, George W. Stubbs and Hezekiah Dal'.y are also candidates for this room.

MINOR MATTERS SETTLED. West Indianapolis Council Disposes of a Number of Them. The West Indianapolis Council, at Its session last night, decided upon the following city tax levy for the coming year: Corporation fund. St cents; tuition. 2T cents; schoolhouse bonds, 10 cents, and sinking fund, 5 cents. Ell Buchanan, who served ten days as a deputy marshal during the trouble with the commonwealers In West Indianapolis without filing a bond, was allowed $11.25 for his services, and the clerk was ordered to draw up a warrant for the .same. Councilman Dickson served notice to the Council that he would protest the treasurer's paying the money. Buchan an j has since' acted as a deputy marshal. and his bond 'of $1,500 was accepted. The bond of James Hughes, a merchant police man, amounting to $1,50), was rejected. Joseph Runmele, a saloon keeper, was on the bond, and the Council thought it rather "singular that Hughes could get no one be side a saloon keeper to go his bond. One of the members cf the Council suggested that the fact tlmt a saloon keeper signed an officer's bond, especially during the present fight between the saloons and the moral ciemenis, pointed to a condition where possibly the officers might be In league with the saloon element. 1 ne bin or tne Indianapolis Light and Power Company, amounting to $382.5'), was allowed. The bond Of Charles Schwertz At Co., who have the contract for cementing the sUewtflks of Oliver avenue, was accept? i, the amount being $5,000. The city olheers cf West Indianapolis entered on tne long term of four years yesterday, and the tiling of new bonds was necessary. Marshal Per ry, of his own accord, raise! his bond from $1,500 to $2,ax Pd offered it to the Council, which Immediately accepted It. The marshal nominated Gideon Flake as a deputy marshil for the coming term, but the Council refused to accept the nomination and allowed him two weeks in which to make another selection, as the present po lice force was deemed sumeient until thit time. Mayor Tolin. Clerk Williamson and Treas urer Hoss will file their bonds during tne five-day limit. James Haggerty, who for three years has been complaining about the drainage of the city refuse Into White river near his residence, appeared before the Council and demanded that the mitfr be attended to or he would sue the city for damages. He gave the ofMelala a ten days' limit, and to humor him Mayor Tolin ordered the Council to go In- a body next Saturday afternoon to investigate. THE DK1I.L AT AI!MST1!0XG. Lijjht Artillery JJenefit Attended by Hundreds of People. Nearly five hundred people were at Arm strong Park yesterday afternoon to witness the military carnival, which consisted of exhibition drills by three companies of in fantry, one of zouaves and the crack drill team of the Indianapolis Light Artillery. The affair was for the benefit of the artil lery company, which Is In debt $5,000 on a fifteen-thousand-dollar armory, erected at Mississippi and Seventh streets. At least $10,000 of the total cost was earned as prize money by the company in various contents throughout the country. The indebtedness was grreatly decreased by yesterday's event. The people did not begin to arrive in very great numbers until about 2 o'clock. After that every street car that stopped at the gates was packed. The people hurried Into the park, and the yowis ladies, who greatly outnumbered the others, hastened to get a look at the young soldiers, who looked very natty In their bright uniforms. Though there were no prizes, yet each company did its utmost to take the honors, which consisted, in each instance, of well-deserved applause. It was 3:30 o'clock when the Second Regiment Hand started tho music, and Company A, Second Heglment, Captain Castor commanding, filed Into line and went through its drill in a very creditable man ner. Company D, Second Regiment, also put up a f?ood drill, commanded by Laeut. MeCrea In the absence of Captain Conde, who is in Washington. Company C, of An derson, which came to the city yesterday morning. forty strong, was greeted with great applause as it moved out into the drill field. The company Is apparently very popular. The Weber Zouaves, long favorites in this city, caught the enthusiasm of the crowd on account of the general nimbleness of its members. The drill team of the Indianapolis Light Artillery, which has given Its onranizatlon the first rack In tne country, then -wheeled Its iruns on to the field and went through the movements .n a way that showed a standard gained only by long practice and hard work. As usual. the members were lavishly applauded. The military part of the event was under the care of Major Rich, while Lieutenant Kahlo watched after the civic arrangements. During the evening the crowd swelled to double the number of people who hac1 witnessed the exhibition drills. After the drill the members of the Armstrong Park Stock Company gave a pleasing performance of the "Planter's Wife." which will be con tinued throughout the week. Good.
