; ' K. Burton Holmes's Lecture. . Another delightful evening was epent with E. Burton Holmes at his lecture given at Plymouth Church last evening. The subject was ."In Morocco." The pictures are wonderfully beautiful and are so true and distinct that It seems as if the places were actually before the audience. Mr. Holme9 brightens his talk with many little incidents, which serve not only to interest but to place firmly in the mind the place, and surroundings much better than the usual' verbal description and picture could possibly do. The pictures gave an idea of the approach to the harbor, of Tangiers. Among other things they showed the cruel practices in the Moorish method of loading and unloading cattle. The cattle are lifted by means of ropes attached to the horns, carried high enough to take the animals up over the vessel's edge. When they are lowered a native takes hold of the tail and pulls the animal around till it swings over the hole through which it passes to the hold of the ship. Tho fortitied ramparts of the cities held by the Spanish were shown, then views from the house top, scenes at the gate where the government hands out coins to the poor, the people in their queer garments, closely wrapped, not to keep warm, as the people do in this country, but to keep the heat out. In contrast to the foreign appearance a picture was shown of the American representatives, who secured . for Mr. Holmes and his companion passports and guides to Fez. The servants who cared for them and their belongings were given their due share of attention, and the man who acted as cook was a person almost a. magician In the way he arranged matters and served the ilnest of dinners. The Journey to Fez, through what is practically a roadless empire, was shown in its various Biases. .mere are no wneeiea vehicles in Morocco, except a small garbage cart, and n carriage which was sent to the royal family by Queen Victoria, and the latter has never been used. Fez, with its minarets and architecture so ancient, and with no progress In the last thousand years, was shown In a few pictures, and the evening closed with the view . of a magnificent sunset. The lecture Friday evening will be "Through the Heart of the Moorish Kmpire." Saturday afternoon pictures of Japan will be shown, and in view of the recent Interest in that country the lecture will be of much value. One ctf the Favorite llavenbeck Acts. The favorite act of Hagenbeck's remarkable show with the children is that in which Miss Josie, the monkey equestrienne, performs, and also the French poodles. These fining canines are received with shouts of laughter. The climax of the act is reached when one good-sized poodle, in a long dres and bonnet, promenades around the rinir. attended hv . monkev dressed as a ifootman. with a tiny lantern on his arm, and holding up the train of Miss Poodle. The Hagenbeck crowds grow larger with each performance. The matinee to-morrow will be for the benefit of the Free Kindergarten, and the theater will be filled with school schlldren, for whose- reception special arrangements are being made. The performance will not begin until 3 o'clock. ' The bill will be changed, beginning to-day. MCHOLAS EXrjLEY SKRIOUSLY ILL. Stricken with Heart Failure Yesterday In liorrulne Building.

A resolution was introduced - for the appointment of a. special committee of three, who should prepare for introduction in the House to-day a resolution restricting the number of employes according to the statutes. This provoked quite a discussion as to whether it was in place at this time, and it was finally withdrawn with the understanding that several members had a resolution for the same purpose ready for Introduction at the first session to-day. At the close of the meeting it was announced that the Senate had decided to amend the law regulating the number of door keepers that are to be appointed for Its service, owing to the fact that the present law was passed when the old Statehouse wa3 In existence. ; On going into the nomination of officers of the House for election to-dayijin the open House W.

The vote stood as. follows: Adams, 5C; Merritt, 13; Stutesman, 7; Willoughby, 2. The nomination was made unanimous on a motion made fey Mr. Merritt and seconded by Messrs. Stutesman and Willoughby. Mr. Adams was declared the nominee for Speaker 'by Chairman Leedy, and he was called to the front. He said: "Mr. Chairman and Fellow-Republicans of the Indiana House of Representatives For this expression of your confidence and for the kind words of my brothers in this contest for the very important office to which you have nominated me I express my slncerest thanks. I promise to do all in my power to make the session one of usefulness to the State, so that when it comes time to adjourn by limitation we may be able to say we have left the good old party stronger than we found it.. I thank you." This brief speech was loudly cheered. The nominations for Clerk of the House were called for. Representative Hamrick, of Hendricks county, moved that Robert A. Brown be nominated by acclamation. The chairman remarked that it would hardly be fair to proceed without giving the friends of other possible candidates a. chance, and then Representative Remy, of Bartholomew, nominated his old college friend, Brown, for Clerk. Mr. Hamrick then renewed his motion and it was adopted unan!mousl Mr. Brown was sent for and made a brief speech of thanks for the honor conferred upon him.

Representatives of the Editorial Associations met yesterday morning at the Grand Hotel ' and decided upon , provisions for a new libel law. The meeting was not very largely attended and it did not last very long, but those presentlwere very much in earnest. The present law was denounced, as unjust to all publishers. It was unanimously decided to urge the passage of a-new law by tho Legislature. The expressions as to the provisions which this new law should embody were about tine same as those expressed before the meeting of Republican editors, a short time ago. The proposed new act, so those present seemed to think, should provide that the retraction of a publication innocently made, should annul all possible action against a publisher. The law of Minnesota, which contains the same provision, was the model and the representatives present pleased themselves to aid in the overthrow of the present law and the passage of another.

MB. ALLEN ON WATCH

STOOD GUARD TO PRETEXT INSPECTORS SEEIXG POOR WORK. Derk DeRuiter Flatly Contradicted Ills Poor Memory Did Him Good Service Yesterday. " Tho Council investigating committee confined itself, yesterday, to a further Investigation of the shoddy sewer work which has been done in the city during the past year. Derk DeRuiter and three brick masons were the only witnesses, excepting a statement made by City Engineer Brown in regard to his examination of the catch basins along the Morton-street sewer. The evidence of the brick masons brought out the fact that contractors endeavored to save on their work by using an insufficient quantity of cement in their mortar. This charge was made particularly against tho Acme Paving and Contracting Company and Mansfield & Allen. It is also charged. that few if any catch basins have more than one layer of brick in the bottom. City Engineer Brown submitted his complete report as to the condition of the Morton-street sewer and its catch basins. The sewer, he Bald, was in fair condition, except for some mud which had not been cleaned out and one place where the grade, for a short distance, is about two inches too low. This, he said, could be repaired by filling in the depression with cement, and as a defect was of little consequence. The catch basin3, ha reported as follows: At Cottage avenue, three, with four-inch walls, laid without mortar; at Weghorst street, two, with four-inch walls, laid without mortar; at Lincoln lane, one good and one with four-inch wall, and at Gresham street, one, with alternate layers of headers and stretchers, "and one with nine-Inch wall, but poorly cemented. Mr. DeRuiter began his statement by describing what he considered an attempt to blackmail. He charged that Thomas Conner, one of the subcontractors, who built the Morton-street catch basins, had threatened to "squeal" in regard to the poor . work unless hush monev was paid. Mr. De Ruiter claimed that he had seen only one of these catch basins built and that, he said, was according to gpecifleations. At first he declined to state the price at which the contract was sublet, but when Mr. Young insisted, and argued that if the price was too low the subcontractor could only hope to realize a profit by poor work, he agreed that the committee had a right to know the price, but called his poor memory into play and evaded answering the question. The balance of Mr. DeRuiter'a testimony was in -regard to matters which have been gone over fully before and are of very little importance, except that he admitted that, as 75 per cent, of the catch basins are leaky the work on that many of them is bad. The next witness was Charles Cropper, the sub-contractor who built most of the Morton-street sewer. He squarely contradicted DeRuiter and swore positively that DeRuiter stood by and saw three of the catch-basins built. He afterwards hesitated somewhat on his testimony when reminded that DeRuiter had said he had seen only one built. DeRuiter then interrupted the proceedings and remarked that he had been around the place but had not actually seen three of them built. Cropper charged that Conner & Conlin, the sub-contractors, never did any work as it should be done, he said, the fact that they were the contractors was sufficient to convince him that It was faulty. In" regard to his own work, he admitted that he had used all sand between the brick on the outside layer in the bottom of the sewer. He did not show a very friendly disposition towards the inspectors and declared that none of them, knew anything about their business. He said he had asked Inspector Sullivan to see that the mortar was properly mixed, but had been told to attend to his own part of the work. He said be had known catch-basins to be built in less than two hours and claimed that it was the work of five hours to do it properly. DeRuiter said it could be done in four hours. In regard to the ignorance of the inspectors, he staid three of them, Haymen, Mellender and "Sullivan, had all confessed to him that they knew nothing about their business and asked him to give them instructions. E. T. Cropper, father of Charles Cropper, gave substantially the same testimony in regard to the quality of the mortar used in the Morton-street sewer. He? said there was too much sand of a poor quality used and not enough cement. The mortar, he said, would not lay on atrowel, and would set as soon as it was sprea on a brick, so there was no opportunity to press the brick close together and make close joints. The sand was too coarse. Better mortar could have been made of a good loam, he said. He said that at times he was compelled to quit work until proper mortar could be made, that which was furnished being little better than dry sand. Charles Crosley, another brick mason who was employed by Charles Cropper, was on the stand for over an hour, liis evidence was given in a manner that indicated he wished to avoid touching on certain points. He evaded a number of questions and several times got badly mixed up . in what he was telling. He did not seem to think the contractor should bother his head about the way the work was being done, when the city had inspectors paid for that purpose, lie -was the foreman on vthe Mortonstreet job, but did not think it his duty to remind the men who were mixing the mortar that they were not using a sufficient quantity of cement that was the inspector's duty. He admitted that the mortar used was not suitable for the purpose, and and that good work could not have been done with it, but insisted that the bricklaying was of a good character. Connar & Conley, the sub-contractors for the catchbasins on th Morton-street sewer, had the reputation of slighting all their work, he said, and it did not surprise him that many of these basins had only four-inch walls. In regard to the Merrill-street catch basins, he said they were not all good, and then corrected himself and said he thought that not ail of them- were bad, which caused a smile to pass around the room. One of them has a four-inch wall on one side. He described one that he built. It had caved; in while in the course of construction, and it was necessary to rebuild part of it. Instead of tearing out that part of the wall which was damaged," and pulling the d'rt from behind it. he simply continued the work, leaving the dirt to form a iart of the wall. Mr. Allen, of the firm of Mansfield & Allen, stoon on the bank while this was being done, and watched to see thatan inspector did not surprise him before the bad work was covered up. He was very reticent about giving this testimony, and it was only wormed out of him by the close questioning of Mr. Young. He admitted that the dirt should have been taken out and the wall examined for cracks, but he said Mr. Allen w?s watching him all the time and he was simply doing- the work under instructions from his employer. Continuing lift said: "Not half of the catch basins in the city are built according to specifications. Most of them have only one laver of brick on the bottom, and that is not laid In mortar. Bats are laid on the bare ground by the laborers and the crevices filled with sand. The bricV mason then covers it all with mortar aDd there is no way of ascertaining if it is properly built excent by cutting into it. Most of those on Elm street are built In this way. Some contractors always slight their work." "Give their names." said Mr. Young. "Their mortar ia of a poor quality," he said, entirelv ignoring Mr. Y.Tunsr. The question was repeated with the injunction to answer it without anv attempt at evasions, and he said Mansfield & Allen slighted their work whenever it. was oospible to do o. He said he once spoke to Mr. Allen about the poor quality of th mortar, and h was told to lav brick and make no complaints; that he was not supposed to judge of the quality of mortar furnished. He said that one catch basin on Elm street was built in one hour and forty minutes, while he said it wou'd takefully five 'hours to build one according- to the pnecifications. The questioning then turned to the work done on the Ontralfl.venue sewer, and he caused considerable laus-hter bv savins that he had not seen the work, but "I know how ?t was done." "Do you mean by that that the generM instructions of the contractor were such that von would know the work was fault', simnly bv knowing who 'I'd it?" "That is what I mean. Mam.field & Allen alwvs slight thfir work." "You were not subpoenaed ns a wltnes. Why did you come here? Have you fc;id anv conversation with ny contractor concerning -our testimonv?" "Mr. De Ruiter told me that I would be nubuoenaed. and I thought T would come to-day as I had no work to do and will be busv to-morrow." At this Mr. Costello jumned to his feet nnd aid It semd to him that contractors knew more? about what was nominp before the committee than it membe'. He also took occasion to tell Mr. De Ruiter. who was sHtitur near and had asked a f.w nupstions during the examination, that bewas prPKumjjuT upon the courtesy of the famaiLHi in dui; tQ. and that Lu. the fu-

Wanfbythe MEDICINE: C? INDJAMAPOLIS I NO. ture such questions must be asked through some member of the committee. The committee then adjourned to meet again to-night. UNDERGROUND WIRE SCHEME. Telegraph and Telephone Companies Submit Their Flans. M. J. Carney, general superintendent; A. A. Tiiomas, general solicitor; N. G. Warth, assistant superintendent; E. N. Jackson, manager; John M. Baker, superintendent, and R. O. Hawkins, attorney, of the Central Union Telephone Company; W.: I. Cooper, manager of the Postal Telegraph Company, and J. F. WalUck, manager 'of the Wester Union Telegraph Company, met with the Council committee on streets and alleys and the city officers last night, at the Mayor's office, for the purpose of considering the plan for relieving the streets of wires, as outlined by the Telephone company. Maps were presented showing the plan. In -general, it consists of removing all wires from the streets in the central portion of the city and placing them in the alleys, within small cables, such as may be seen now In some parts of the city, strung on the telephone poles. In short the general plan for the original mile square ,of the city is as follows: Cables, which will carry . all the wires to be ubed In the city will be laid under ground in'Ohio street, from Mississippi to Alabama street. From this cable the branches .will run through the alleys as they are passed. For instance, at the first' alley west of Pennsylvania street, five one huniJred-wira cables will run south on poles, distributing wires to the block bounded by Pennsylvania, Ohio, Market and Meridian streets. When Market street is reached the wires. will go underground, coming up again on, the south side of the' street and distributing as before in that block. These cables will continue in this manner, passing under the streets and overhead in the alleys, until the first alley south of Maryland street, on Delaware, is reached, when they will come to the surface to stay, one line passing down Delaware street and another down Virginia avenue. These tis?o line will bo overhead, but the wires will be contained in cables and noti scattered promiscuously over the poles. This same system will be followed in distributing all over the central mile of the city. The only streets within this district on which there will be overhead cables, besides the two already named, are Pennsylvania, south from the first alley south of Maryland street; Capitol avenue, from the first alley north of Washington street to Kentucky avenueL Kentucky avenue, southwest from Maryland street; the entire length of Massachusetts and Indiana avenues; New York street, one-half block on either side of Pennsylvania street; Ohio street, east of Alabama and west of Mississippi street, and New Jersey street from the first alley south of Washington to Georgia street. These poles will not carry any separate wires, for they will all be in cables. They will be used by the telegraph companies and for the city fire alarm telegraph. Outside of the district named the line of wires will be bunched, doing away with some lines now in use and placing them all in cables and running them through alleys as much as possible. The poles will be painted and of any height the city may designate. This is substantially the proposition as made by the telephone company. It will necessitate an entire new plant, as very little of the wire now in use could be used in the new system. The evening was spent in hearing the explanation of the proposed changes and the committee will meet again soon to consider the matter more in detail. The city officials do not look with favor upon the plan to have so many wires strung in the alleys downtown, even though they are mostly in cables, but would rather have all the cables go underground in the squaremile district. Such a change will be suggested at the, committee meeting and will likely be insisted upon by the city before any franchise will be granted. The members of the committee refused to make any direct statement as to what the city should require of the companies, but the trend of the talk seemed to be that now while the opportunity is at hand provision should be made for the future and a system of wires installed which will be suitable for use fifty years from now. NO MORE SUBCONTRACTS. A Result of the Council Committee's , Investigation. The 'work of the investigating committee has demonstrated the fact that very little of the sewer work, .which has been sublet by the original contractor, complies with the specifications. It is difficult to find a single sublet Job that is in good condition. On this account the Board of Works issued the following order to the cityi engineer yesterday: "You are hereby directed and ordered to allow no more subcontracts or accept any subcontracts let . by any" contractor whatever. If any special emergency for a 'subcontract should arise. It must be authorized by tho board. In making changes in new speciheatlons please insert the above In bold letters." Another Meat Inspector Needed. Men familiar with the meat question say that this city needs another inspector and needs one badly. Fred Hergt. the present inspector has the entire city to look after and there is enough work at the stock yards alone, to keep one man .busy.. Mr. Hergt has no time to inspect meat on sale at the different shops. As matters now stand, it is possible f jr a butcher to sell a vast amount of poor meat, without danger of detection. Dr. Armstrong, the city veterinarian, says he has spoken to the secretary of the Board of Health a number pf times about the need of another man, but he cannot get that official to pav any attention to the subject. Dr. Armstrong says it would be better to have Inspector Hergt pay exclusive attention to meat on sale, as he is a butcher by trade and understands the inspection of dressed meat. L. Armstrong says it requires an expert to inspect cattle as there are many diseases to which they are victims, whif-h only an expert can diagnose and tell the effect upon the healthfulness of the beef. "Do you think there is much bad meat sold in this city," asked the reporter of D. Armstrong. "Not a great deal but there ia some. I do not believe that any of the firms in this c.ty make a business of furnishing bad meat, but occasionally a bad animal wnl --lip upan the market. There should be an experienced man to watch the stock yards and another man to watch the slaughter houses and butcher shops." , First University Extension Lecture.

Fish Protection. ' ' 1 ie Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: , diana has more fine lakes and rlvera tor the culture and raising of food fish, than any other State in the Union, except Michigan and Wisconsin, and yet it Is a ' regretable fact that Indiana has less protection for her food fish than any other State. Under our Inadequate law any fish) pirate can seine, not because the law allows it, for it does not, but because ther is no ample provision to prevent It. Our law. strange as It may appear, allows spearing during two months of the year. Bass are allowed to be taken off their beds while spawning, or while guarding their fry in the spring. It seems strange that a quail, pheasant, squirrel, or, indeed, any bird is protected that is, there Is a. closed season on all game birds, and on others the killing is prohibited at any time, and there is a penalty fon tho destruction of birds' nests at any time, yet a mother bass may be taken from her nest , by fish pirates and thousands of spawr or fry destroyed by turtles, frogs and other fishes. The black, or pond bass, which are so plentiful in Indiana waters, is not th onlv eame fish of the State, but it Is an ex cellent food fish, and one that will multiply amazingly, if given any chance at all. This splendid fish, in addition, .is ae of tho most devoted creatures to its young. A black bass spawns usually about May. . It will prepare its nest with great car and will deposit the spawn and the mat or male will, like a soldier, stand sentinel, and woe to any intruder that comes in th way. I have seen a snake cut in twain that was unforunate enougu 10 swim over the bed, and I have known a mother bass to kin a young muskrat that come too near Should not such devotion be protecieu Now, these fish will not bite at a period while ther are spawning nor while guard ing their young afterwards, but the unrmrtamanlilro tisb nlrntp dra.es a. snoot hook, phantom minnow or other bait over the nest ana euner maie or iemaie, thinking it an intruder, will attack it. ani Is caught, and from eighteen thousand ta twenty thosuand spawn or fry . are destroyed. Again, there is a destructive process going on in the State, especially the northern part, among the lakes, of fishing through the ica. A fish is dormant and sluggish Jm the winter and lays in the deep water. IC a hole is cut in the ice they will rise to it and around it for air, ana as they are hungry will bite at anything put under their noses, and they are caught by thousands. I saw on tne streets of Rochester, lnd., a wagon box, or bed, filled with black bass, caught, it was said, in a short time out of Cedar, or Bass lake, through th ice. Legislation is needed, and I offer th following bill and asit our present legislature to pass it: "A bill, for an act for the protection, of Fish. "Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana that it shall be unlawful for any one to take any black bass, pond bass, or any bass known as the black bass, in any manner between, the first day of December of any year and the fifteenth day of June succeeding of the following year, and it shall be unlawful for any one to take fish in any manner, through holes cut in the ice, in any of the waters of this State, and it shall be unlawful to seine, spear or take fish by a trap at any time. Any one violating any of the provisions of this act shall, upon conviction, be lined in any sum not less than J10 nor more than $100, and upon a second conviction of the same person imprisonment may be added, not exceeding thirty days. "Section 2. Whereas, an emergency exists for the immediate taking effect of this act, the same shall therefore be in force from and after its passage." . Almost every State of this Union has a closed season for bass, and yet Indiana lags in this march of progress, and, on account of the Legislature neglecting to pass good laws, our splendid waters are plundered, and are incapable of furnlshtng any considerable amount of food llsh. I hope the members of the present Legislature will look carefully to this, and pass the within bill or a similar on. J. B. KENNER. Huntington, lnd.. Jan. 9. Sudden End of a Railway Meeting:. ST. LOUIS. Jan. 9. The meeting of th rate committee of the Central Traffic Association, which has been in progress for some days, came to an unexpectedly sudden end to-day on receipt of a. telegram from General Passenger Agent Hall, of the Wheeling & Lake Erie. That gentleman announced that his road would not be a party to the agreement to discontinue sec-ond-clas: rates between points In Ohio, and the main object of the meeting, therefore, failed. This result was a disappointment, as it was believed that one troublesome question had been settled for a time at least. The general passenger agents will probably be called together to review th matter and take action of some kind. Though pure and simple, and so mild. It might be u.ed by any child.
