Charles L. Henry addressed a large meeting of farmers last night at Cumberland. There were fully three hundred In the audience, and the speaker was given the most respectful attention from first to last. He was introduced to the audience by James E. Greer, candidate for County Commissioner from the Third district. Mr. Henry adverted to the changed condition of public affairs since he spoke at the same place two years ago. He explained the provisions of the new tariff law In its relation to th products of the farm. He showed that, whereas the McKinley law had placed a specific duty of $30 on each horse imported, the Sugar Trust law changed the tariff to 20 per cent, ad valorem. The depressing effects of the Democratic policies on wool and wheat and in raising the price of sugar were made plain. The sectionalism in the bill was shown in all its injustice to the Northern farmer. The speaker was honored with the presence of a large number of Democrats, who gave eiual attention with the Republicans present. There were a number of county candidates present, and thy were called out for a few words. Among the number were W. 11. Schmidt. Harry 15. Smith, Charles I Wlltsie. John L. McMaster, Lawjwin Harvey. Clemens Vonnet, jr., and Henry Harding, a candidate tor commissioner. The Typhoid Fever Scourer. The Board of Health Is trying to discover the cause of typhoid fever in the southeastern part of the. city. The most of the fourteen deaths that occurred in the city in June, July. August and September were caused by typhoid fever and most of them occurred in the section named. A number of cas-?s also occurred among those who went to the water resorts in the southern part of the State. To Iimprct Northern Trlnon. Drs. Metcalf and Taylor, of the Slate Doard of Health, go to Michigan City today to begin a sanitary Inspection of the northern prison.

IDA B. AVELLS TALKS

CRAPIIIC AM) ALL, TOO TItiE A PICTCItC OF IXJCSTICU. One Law for Xeroe nml Another for Whites In the South The Reso lution Adopted. Hiss Ida B. Wells, the colored woman, who has stirred up England with her ac counts of the lynching of colored persons In this country, spoke at the Y. M. C. A. Hail last night to an audience of representative colored citizens of Indianapolis, In which there were a few white persons. In Introducing" her subject, "American Lynch Law," she said It was not of her own choosing; but a matter of necessity that 6he spoke of the atrocities of lynch law. She said it was bad enough when two or three hundred men were hung by mobs In broad daylight, without a pretense of trial, or were ruthlessly hot down In cold blood. These had now grown tame, she said, and to afford a little diversion the advocates of lynch law had taken to burning colored people at the stake, with more revolting and fiendish orgies than the most barbarous savage races ever conceived of. She says lynch law Is spreading-, and has already left . the confines of the South and has appeared in Indiana, Illinois, Wiscon sin, Minnesota, Ohio and New York. The daily reports in the newspapers seemed to show that human life, especially if covered by a black skin, was a. very cheap commo dity. After this brief Introduction to the subject she said It was high time the col ored people aroused themselves upon the question and put forth every, effort to stop these outrages. She called their attention to the fact that they were but eight million of the sixty-five million that Inhabited this country. "What can we do," she said. "surrounded as we are by the superior Anglo-Saxon who possesses the might which makes right?" She then said that she had for a time thought of advising the colored people to resort to force and retaliate in kind for the abuses and outrages heaped upon them, but she reflected that in case a, race war should break out in any particular locality the sheriff of the county would have but to telegraph the Governor and the whole of the State militia would be sent' to the scene and the colored people killed unless they Immediately gave up the tight. The thought of advising force came to her, she said, when she had tried in vain the plan of appealing to the sense of right and justice and to the Christian sentiment of the country. fche could get no hearing here because people of the North thought It would but widen the closing breaen between the North and the South. The civilization of the country was a white man's civilization, and they, heard in silence tKe outrages against the colored race. Then, she said, came the invitation to go to England, and within' five days after receiving it she wa3 upon the ocean. What she said there was cabled to this country and then published here. The newspapers would not print what she said when she was in this country, but when she went thousands of miles away they printed it. It was then that she thought the time was ripe for her return to this country, and again attempt to enlist the sympathy and co-operation of the people here who had a high sense of Justice. When she came back tc the United States she was met with the rebuke. that she should not have gone to a foreign country to detail the atrocities In which she dealt. This rebuke, she said, was hurled at her by the very press which had refused to print what she said when she was at their very doors. The most alarming consideration, she said, was that the press and the pulpit were apologists for the lynchings. One of the excuses offered was the law's delays. Then she read some statistics showing the percentage of colored prisoners in the Southern penitentiaries. She construed these, not as Bhowimr that her race was more given to crime than the whites, but that one of her race never escaped punishment for crime If the law was allowed to take its course. She said the apologists found it was but a step further than they had already gone to Justify their position, to falsify records, and with these in hand they claimed that the larger number of colored prisoners showed that negroe3 were more given to crime. She said all the officials were white, the law was administered by the white men, and they knew that the prejudice against the coiorea man left no possibility of his es caplng punishment for crime, and esne chilly the particular crime which it wa sought to fasten upon the colored people as .a race. She sixke at some leneth of th rnm-inf lease system in vogue in the Southern States, Raying there were two reasons for tne large number or negroes Imprisoned in roumern prisons. Tne one was that they were thus disfranchised and the other that the , state got the benent of their labor. The effect was worse than slavery. She said in the stockades male and females were chained together, and she had known of children who were born and raised under such conditions. She portrayed the atrocities of the slave days and the lash of the overseer as merciful when compared to some of the practices that are maintained under the convict lase system. The horrors of Siberia wero as nothing compared to the horrors that existed in the stockades where convicts are hired out by the State. "But these are black people, and American Christianity has no interest in them." she added, with fcathing irony. She said all the Christian organizations of the South knew of the atrocities that were perpetrated undr the lea?e system. There is one law for th white man and another for the colored man in the South, and what would be a misdemeanor for a whit man Is k crime for a colored man. Then she beffn.ii a bitter invective against the white population of the South, saying: 'Out of all the white men who have killed negroes In the South but three have suffered the penalty of the law. In the cases Of assault there are hundreds of cases where the assailant was a white man and the victim a colored woman, and no law could reach the assailant. They force us to the defensive and we hurl back into their faces the charge that our race is particularly addicted to the namel es.l crimp thv charge. They have forced us to cite cases and we bring them the names and places where white women have made charges against colored men to shield themselves. Tne colored man Is made the scapegoat for the white man's crime and the white woman's falsehood." She then went Into a detailed recital of numerous lynchings in the South. She. cited the burning at the stake of Ed Foy in Texarkana and branded the woman in the case as a harlot. She said these facts were known, but never printed because the man who wrote the story assisted in the horrible torture and destruction of Foy. She asked if it were true that the colored race was particularly addicted to this crime why was it that durimr the war -.vhen the white men were away fighting to keep them in slavery and lft them in charge of the women and children they d!d not then commit the crime. She asked If it was believel that the negro free was more depraved than the negro in slavery. She said negroes were huns? for responding to advances made to tH2z, and the facts never to' I because the man who wrote the story wa3 the man who did the lvnchin?r In concluding her talk sfio described the murder of the three negroes in Memphis several years ago, who had been arrested for shootinr some white man who attempted to demolish their property. It was her knowledge of the facts in this particular case and her reading of the report of it as sent out by the pres3 that led her to make a study cf the Southern lynchings. She was editing a weekly paper devoted to the Interests or ner race at the time. Some time after the killing of these three colored men she wrote an editorial, which was printed in her paper, and the Memphis dailies immediately advised through their editorial columns that the writer of the article be lynched. She said the citizens ran her business manager out of the city and destroyed all of her prop erty. She was ab.ent on business at the time, and was toll if she returned to the c.ty she would be killed, and she never returned. Shf expressed a doubt as to the sincerity of the present investigation being made by the grand jury at rdemphis to Indict the persons responsible for the kill ing of the six colored men near that place a few weeks ago. and said she would never believe it until the men were punished. "We must insist," she said, "that our race no longer be made the scapegoat for white man's crime or a white woman's falsehood." After she had concluded the followin resolutions were read by Mr. Haywood and adopted: "Resolved, That this meeting, having under consideration the alarming growth of lvnch law in different parts of our com mon country, whereby human beings are hanged, shot and burned alive by lawless mobs, condemns such practices as a stand intr dl?jrrace to American civilization. We condemn all forms of lawlessness, whether by Individuals or communities, and invoke the stronir arm of the law in punishment of the same. We commend the law-abiding citizens and orMclals of Memrhis. Tenn.. far the prompt and vigorous action btTfcg taken in

the recent horrible lynching, where six colored men were murdered In cold blood while In custody of the authorities. Memphis will become the byword of nations sheuld Justice mi?carry in this instance. We pledge the moral support of Indlanapo113 and the approval of the civilized world to the people of Tennessee In meting cut Eunlshment to the murderers of those six elpless colored men." BIDS FOU TOWN JIALL OPENED.

No rsyard to Be JIado Until Monday, but Salaries Were Kaised. The West Indianapolis Council held an Important special meeting last night. The following bids were received on the new City Hall, which will be erected at Morris and Harding streets: George Pertle, $9,630; Evans Brothers. $7,917; J. T. Elliott, JS.291; Hewitt Jones, $7,367; John Snowden, Jo.OOJ; Newby & Ayres, $6,G00; C. L. Wollenweber, $3,700; E. S. Smith, $7,979; W. II. McIIaftle, $3,642; S. A. ilorgan, $7,600; John King, $G,800; E. M. Carter & Son, $7,824; Jungclaus & Schumacher, $9,S0O; James 13. Shover, ),- 800; E. F. Kottleskl, $7,770, and E. II. Jameson. $7,780. The specifications call for wall3 eighteen inches thick in parts, but as Snowden and Xewby & Ayre3 had figured on walls solidly . thirteen Inches thick their bids were thrown out. The Council decidod to withhold Its decision until Its meeting next Monday night. There was considerable disappointment, as the officers and councilmen had thought that the hall could be built for about $5,000 or $G,000. The citizens, who were present In large numbers, were shocked to hear a report from the committee on salaries recommending that some of the officers' salaries be raised. The salary list was recommended to stand as follows: Mayor, $360, an increase from $200; members of the Council, $1S0, an Increase of $00; marshal, $o00; deputy marshals. $400; treasurer, $240; clerk, $00, an Increase of $13); school trustees, $75; secretary Board of Health, $100; chief of the fire department, $700, an increase of $100, and firemen, $C00. Citizens who were present rose to their feet in a body and shouted that the Council had pledged itself not to increase the expenses. Councilman McCain, Republican, made a vigorous speech opposing the report, and he was warmly Seconded by Councilman Wantland, also Republican. They said they were willing to continue the old standard of salaries, and offered an amendment substituting the old figures where increases had been made by the committee, but it was lost. The committee's report was then put to a vote and carried, the only votes against it being Councilmen McCain and Wantland. Councilmen Brown and Dickson, Democrats, were the first to vote for the change, and now bear the brunt of the criticism. Dickson was a member of the committee which recommended the increases. "IPS ALL RIGHT WITH ME." A. If. Noe Lived and Died as the Righteous Dieth. A. M. Xoe, whose death was announced in the Journal of yesterday, had been a resident of this city since July 3. 1S6L About the first work he did here was superintending the building of barracks and fencing In Camp Morton to care for the confederate soldiers who were taken prisoners. A short time after he took the position of superintendent of the D. Eehymer planing mills, holding that position fifteen years. He then went to the Sinker-Davis shops as pattern maker, where he wtrked until what prove! his fatal illness overtook him. The deceased man never pushed himself ahead in society, still had a large circle of friends, and was often callec: to social gatherings as an entertainer, being witty in conversation, a good musician und a good character Imiperonator. The deceased had been a member of the First Baptist Church since coming to the city, and for many years was its chief librarian. He retired to give room to younger men to get them interested in Swbbath-sehool work. Although never obtrusive of hl3 religious views on others, he was nevertheless very posltlV2 in his religious beliefs and an exemplary Christian. His last words were: "It's all right with me." CONTRACT FOR THE CASCADES. C. Bender Will Have Them Completed in Fifty Days. C. Bender, an Indianapolis contractor, was yesterday awarded the contract for the construction of the monument cascades. Contractor Render will have charge of the general construction, for which he will receive $0,141, his bid being the lowest of the six estimated xfrom Indianapolis firms. The other bids were as follows: George Weaver, $7,017; John J. Twlname, $7,400; S. W. Hawkey, $7,195; Charles Wehklng, $7,150; Nicholas Noe, $7,225. These estimates include only the terra cotta work anl, the masonry. Contracts for gas engine, pumps and electrical appliances will be awarded later' by a committee cf the resident commissioners. The commission will close the contract with Mr. Jlender to-day and will expect the contractor to complete his work inside of fifty days. Sculptor Mahoney was present at the meeting yesterday and reported the model of the statue of George Rogers Clark as almost ready for inspection. Affects Only Appointed Trustees. There Is still some confusion amoiig political managers as to the meaning of the ruling of the joint committee to decide what Is the status of the law concerning the nomination of trustees. The effect of the ruling is simply that whenever a trustee is serving out a term by appointment to fill a vacancy there must be a nomination to fill out the Interim between the time when the term of his predecessor, under the old law, would have expired, and Aug, lSkl, when under the new law his predecessor would have ended his work. The ruling does not concern trustees who are serving out terms for which they were elected and who by the operation of the new lav have until Aug. 1S95 to serve. The recommendation of the committee which mada the ruling was that those trustees holding by appointment should be nominated to serve out this short term. The recommendation has no application to any other trustee. North. leirlsbnrfr, O., Horse Thief. Last Saturday Joseph Sullivan hired a horse and buggy from a liveryman In North Lewisburg, O. He became intoxicated and drove to Sidney, where he traded the horse for another and $C9. Hearing that the North Lewlsburg authorities were after him with a warrant for Ms arrest he drove on to Union City. As the horse was exhausted Sullivan turned it loose and pave the bugpry and harness, as he says, to a colored man. Ho came to this city last Monday. On that day the ?olIce received a dispatch from the North ewlsburer authorities, asking them to nrre?t Sullivan if he wns seen. Yesterday afternoon patrolmen Sullivan and Lannis arrested him In the northeastern part of the city and took him to the nollce station, where he confessed. He will be taken to North Lewlsburg for trial. After that Mysterious Odor. The sanitary inspection of the river bed, as ordered by the Roard of Health some week3 since, was begun yesterday by city chemist Hurty and inspector Duvall. The purpose Is to locate the smell3 that caused Attorney-general Smith to break into print. The smell has been generally charged to Klngan's pork house but there is now some doubt as to this and the city chemist is expected to locate the source of the odor. It Is probable that as a result of the inquiry the dump near Kingm's will be cleaned up and further use of the locality for such a purpose will be prohibited. Mr. Hurty recommends that all such trash be burned up. Township Trustee's Aid. According to statements made by Township Trustee Gold the times with him are not as good as they were this time a year a 70. The expenses for la.t month amounted to $10 over August of a year airo. However, the trustee believes that the times are better, and gives ns hi reason that the people who apply for aid are of the lower classes, while tho?e of last year were largely from the middle classes. An Iufemllnry Seulenee Commuted. Governor Matthews, before leaving the city yesterday, commuted the penitentiary sentence of John I Gould, of Miami county, to the Reform School for Roys. Gould was sent to the northern prison last May for arson.

"GENERAL" HOBO FRY

UK ' ANS WERS QUESTIONS AT A Ql'ICKSTCl1 GAIT. He Still Una n. Fevr Dimes About Him, but He Don't Ilelisk Jeati About Ills Love Affair. The sight of "Gen." Louis Fry. of the late Coxey's army, about the Circle House yesterday recalled the heydey of the movement when the General was. at the head of several hundred hoboes. "When did you get in?" asked a Journal interviewer. "I got la last night," was the reply, as he shook the reporter's hand like a great man. "What haveyou done with your army?" "That is scattered all over the United States." "Did you walk in this timer "Not on your life." "Are you better off than when you were here before?" "Oh, I ara getting along. I always have a few dimes with me." "Where are you going now?" "I am going west to St. Louis. I expect to moke a few speeches there for the So cialist Labor party." "I thought you were a Topulist?" "So I am. but In St. Louis the Populists and the Socialist Labor party have about the same platform. In such cases I make speeches for the Socialist Labor people when they sisk me." "lou process to be a socialist, ao you not?" "Yes." "Rut you steer clear of anarchy T' "Socialisjm and anarchy are direct opposites as beliefs. We have now a government of anarchy with paternalism. I believe in Iraternal government with socialism." "How are you gclng to vote this year?" "I don't get a vote. I am like the women in this election unless I get back to California In time." "You have been charged with the design of upsetting the government." "It is upset now." "Rut the papers say that you have a mighty leverage under the conerstone of the government and Intend to hoist things." "That Is giving me a great deal of credit, don't you think?" The "General" appeared well fed, but his clothes looked as rough as some of the privates in his army on their trip East. From St Ioui9 he is going to Chicago, and he added that he did not go anywhere without a purpose. In this case the purpo?e 13 to make speeches. The General was extremely taciturn when asked about his love affair. Indianapolis society, it will be remembered, was on the qui vive over the report, a few days before his departure, that he was to honor a buxom young lady of this city wjth his hand. Society, however, was doomed to bitter disappointment. The "General" not only denied the soft impeachment, but avowed that he could not entertain the thought of taking a bride upon the long march which he was about, to begin. He left the vity, followed only by the sighs of his admher. Notwithstanding the fact that the gentleman spent an entire season In Washington, he proved Invulnerable, and escaped the smiles of the youth and beauty of the giddy capital. He did not return, he says, to claim his Indianapolis bride, but. prefers a life In the field to a domestic existence. THE MERCHANTS' GETS THE LOAN. Only One Bid and that Said to Bo a Low One 'I he Kicketts Property. The finance committee of the School Roard met yesterday to open bids for the loan of $20,000, which the board needs to tide it over until the November taxes become due. The only bidder was the Merchants' National Rank (Frenzel's), which was awarded the contract to furnish the board with the money. The rate bid was S'i per cent, interest, with 5 per cent, premium. Chairman Russe said that It was the lowest oCer ever received by the board for short-time loans. The money is the last of the $110,900 which was authorizid to be borrowed some months ago The continued absence of Boss Frenzel and President Martlndale made It Impossible to consummate the Ricketts deal until the president's return. The boss will be home to-day. The deal will probably break into the courts before the money Is paid for the property. Commissioner Russe said yesterday that he hoped the courts would be asked to take cognizance of it, as it would give the board an opportunity to vindicate itself in a way that it had not been able as yet to do. Treasurer Adam was seen yesterday and asked alxut th state of finances. "You stated in open meeting, did you not, that you had $2,u on hands?" "Yes," he said. "And that money Is deposited In Frenzel's bank?" 'Yes, it is. I told Blackledge so when he ctsKed me, but I guess he did not hear me. If that bank Is not a proper place for the money, let some one come and show me why." "It is rumored that you have said that the School Board pays' $5,000 a year rent for the use 'of the library rooms occupied by the board." "There are separate accounts kept of the expenses of the board and the library. The book3 show that the expenses of keeping up the library building are equally divided between the library and the School Board. That makes our rent in the building cost the toard about $G,XK a year." One of the arguments used by Commissioner Adam and others in favor of the purchase of the Rickett3 property was that this rent account could be stopped If the high-school building was enlarged and the board enabled to take offlcea in that. Rut inasmuch as the board, on the library basis, is simply paying out of one pocket into another, some have dared to question the force of the argument. The library and the board's expenses all come out of one source of money taxes and the separation Is only for convenience In deter mining expenses. Mr. Adam Joins in the general denial of all supposed to know that there have been printed the bonds wnich are to be assumed for the payment of the SGO.OOO addition. Thomas K. Moore, who made the sale, was visitetl a few days since by the agent of a Chicago house, which wants to buy the bonds. Commissioner Russe said yesterday that the Union Trust Company had refused to make a bid on them. It Is generally supposed that they, being gilt-edged paper, will fall to the lot of the Indiana Trust Company. Mr. Moore, It is slid, has not been allowed full commission on the sale of the property. The commission, which at regular rates would be $1,240, is said to have been cut in two, for what reason. was not asserted. L,tKht Artillery Football Team. The rapidly increasing Interest In foot ball In this city will be augmented this year by the particularly strong team of the Indianapolis Light Artillery- They have In their eleven some of the best football players in th- West, and expect to estab lish a record for themselves on the gridIron field this winter. The make-up of the team is as follows: it. 2.1. liarnes, captain and right tackle; Frank Clemmens, cer ter rush; Ldward B. Johnson, left guard; fctet Parker, right guard: II. M. Joss. rUht tackle: Harry Griffith, left ena: Harry Olan, right end; Al Sommerville, right half back; Sam Patterson. left half back; John Nichol, full back; George Cullom, quarter back. Manager Swan has picked his men. and most of them are known as foot ball players and have especial qualities which make them valuable in a team. In the eleven ar2 several good sprinters, and there are a couple of men who are known as excellent tackl.-rs. SnonU Thief Gets His Supper. An unknown man engaged lodging and board at No. 143 North Alabama street, yesterday afternoon, and after eating his supper went to the servant's room and stole a coat, alter which he disappeared. He Is described as being short, heavy and well dressed. Lioumlon to Greenfield. The next movement by the Commercial Travelers' Republican Club will be an excursion to Gr.?enfield, Oct. 6, for the pur pose of hearing Charles L. Henry. The club is going about with its accustomed energy to make the excursion a success. - Fnll Styles In Street Cnrs. The Citizens' Street-railroad Company is rapidly getting Its cars In order for the winter. Now that the cool mornings and evenings have come, people wronder why the closed cars are not put on the lines. The open and closed coxa are used on the.

same trucks, one being changed for the other. This requires time. Some of the double-end vestibule cars are also being changed. Persons do not like to be cooped on the rear of a closed car, and so some of the closed rear vestibules are being taken off and placed on the front of the openfront cars. This will be a protection to the moiormen. This searon about seventy of the cars will have the closed fronts, against sixty in use last season. Two of the small cars have lieen connected by a closed vestibule to mike a Jurnbo No. 2 for the Irvington line, and will seat from seventy to eighty passengers comfortably. These and other changes and improvements are being made for the winter season. HERE'S ANOTHER STORY.

Halike's Friends Scorn the Charjjre that He "Squealed." The friends of Rahke yesterday came to his rescue to remove the Imputation that he 13 not a true and nervy gambler. It was too much for them to have it charged that he "squealed" in thi3 recent hippodrome race which caused him the loss of $3,000. His friends say that it was not a case'of merely losing the money on the bet, but was one of pure "robbery. A man named , Owsley, who held the handkerchief with which to give the signal for the start, says that It was a case of highway robbery. The man Swain did not figure In the race up to within a moment of the start, then he suddenly appeared and took his position near the stake holder. It was significant to the losers after it was all over that the sprinters let the handkerchief drop twice before they were off. It was probably due, says Rahke's friends, to the fact that the accomplice was slow in making his appearance. The sprinters had not made more than twenty feet of their hundred yards before Swain stepped to the stake holder's side and wrested the money from his band. Owsley says that the runners made for their coats and not the goal, and with Swain ran away before the astonished betters could realize what had happened. It Is now asserted that th money lost by Rahke was merely loaned to the betters for a "take off," and that. Rahke had no other interest In it, not having made a bet himself. Thi3 is consistent with Rahke's method of business. Swain was an utter stranger to all interested except the sprinters. He has been positively Identified, It is sald, as the man who so suddenly appeared at the side of the stake holder. THE PESKY GARBAGE QUESTION. notei Hen 3Ieet and Talk Aoout Reparation and Legislation. . The Hotel and .Restaurant Men's Association of Indianapolis held a meeting at the Denison Hotel last night and discussed their grievance against the garbage company. Pending a decision of the Supreme Court on the garbage question the association will prepare and file a damage suit against the company. The members claim that they hare an excellent case against the garbage company because of a number of illegal arrests made some months ago. It Is claimed that the man Poore, arrested for hauling garbage from the Grand Hotel, is yet suffering from the effects of his incarceration in the county jail. At the meeting last night the hotel men discussed plans for entertaining the members of the Indiana Association of Landlords, which convenes in this city In Jaunary. During the session of the State body it is the ln--tentlon of the local hotel men. to propose some sort of legislation for the mutual benent or notei Keepers an over wie oiau;. One of the Important features to come before the convention will be the question of seouring a law to protect landlords from professional "dead beats." In Ohio, Illinois, New York and Missouri the transient guest may be arrested ana jauea ior railing to pay "is vin. rne association win as tVi T (ritli tn ro tr malp n law settlnir OUt the liability of the hotel proprietor in cases where guests have been robbed.
