THEY TOOK NO ACTION

CITY FATIIKn TALK AWIIILK AM) TI1E ADJOtTl Witliont Conaldrrln the Three Improvement Ordinance Probable ) Compromise. There were nineteen members present last nipht at the regular meeting of the City Council. It was expected that the ordinances providing for the Improvement of Fort Wayne avenue and Massachusetts avenue would be taken up and passed. They reached a stago where there were favorable committee reports and were on second reading. Some one moved to adjourn, and the motion prevailed. The Democrats called for an aye and no vote, thinking they had the Republicans disconcerted, but the Republican leaders said they knew what they wero about. The vote on adjournment was ten to nine. The lobby was full of citizens living on Meridian street, and, to those who were not informed, the abrupt termination of the meting seemed very strange. It is known that the adjournment was taken because of the probability that a. compromise will be reached between the board and the Meridian-street property owners, whereby the policy outlined In Sunday's Journal will prevail, to the effect that the street will be laid with wooden blocks on a broken, stono foundation, in accordance with a resolution once adopted by the Board of Works. This compromise has been practically agreed to and will prevent need of action by the Common Council. As one member said last night: "We adjourned so that this trouble might be settled without a tight." The leaders were ready to vote on the Fort Wayne avenuo and the Massachusetts avenue Improvement, but it was held that there is no rush about these streets and that the Council at a special meeting can take up and settle the disputes in regard to them without much trouble. The Democratic members made a great pretense of virtue and boldness and were lnclired to buzz about the ears of tho Republican leaders like flies about a horsp. Their iemarks were received, as a rule, with silence. The committee on elections reported the officers for the School Heard election, which will occur June 8. It was approved by resolution. Tho officers for the election will be as follows: District No. 4 Inspector, John Schmidt; Judges, Edward Harri3 and Herman Jlabri.ck. District No. 7 Inspector, Lee Fulmer; judges, John L McFarland and Julius Ueinecke. District No. 8 Inspector, W. Sinks Ferguson; Judges, John J. Wenner and II. It. Marten. The garbae subject was sent bark to the Board of Public Works for further consideration. An invitation was extended to tho International Iron Molders' Association to meet in annual session here next year. Tho Council received the Information that City Controller Trusler approves tho recommendation of the Hoard of Public Safetv for an additional amount of $1,500 for the completion of the three englna houses as originally planned. The subject was referred to the finance committee. The same thing was done with the contract which the Board of Works has made with the property owners excessively assessed in the matter of the White river interceptor. Controller Trusler approves the terms of the settlement. Tho city will have to assume $3.3.04 of the entire claim of I7.C36.71. The ordinance making an appropriation of SGCO Jor fitting up a laboratory for chemical analysis was taken up and passed without opposition. The ordinance changing the name of Larch street to Sterling street was passed; also the one changing- the name of Michigan road to Northwestern avenue. The ordinance for the annexation of tne territory east of town extending: to the Helt road was called back from the committee at the request of the committee, which could not agree as to what it wanted to recommend. It was then stricken from the flies by almost a unanimous vote, it had been under discussion for a year. The ordinance restoring J70O received from the Hoard of Works by the park commission was passed. Tho park commission could not use the money under certain1 technical rulings by the city attorney and the Hoard of Works proceeded to make tho improvement and required the money for the expense. A feature of the evening-, which did not appear as a part of the proceedings, and yet had an influence in causing the early adjournment, was the printed protest of the hundred or more property owners on Meridian street against the Improvement. It was closely printed and could not be read by the members after the Council met, and yet the Republicans say then was the first they knew of the remonstrance put in type, and the job looked like a hasty and illy edited one. Names were misspelled and numerous other typographical errors occurred. The printed sheet was put upon the desk of each member. niDS OX A DAM. It Will Cost f2,7OU to Tlnce n Dam In Gnrtlelil Park. The City Park Commission yesterday opened bids for the construction of a dam in Garfield Park. The bids ranged as follows: Koss & Fritz, J2.E0; Fritz & Petrie, $2.770.K; James It. Nelson. J2.M3; I lege & Seborn. J3.0C0; James K. Twiname, J3.2S0; John McGregor, $3.3. The board did not award the contract for the reason that a question had been raised as to what a dam six feet high would do In backing up water over private property for which the city would be responsible in damages. It was decided to wait until the city civil engineer could make some measurements and report. There is not quite enough money for the dam and the result depends upon what the Council will do. Reports to Hoard of Safety. Police Surgeon Kahlo reported to the Hoard of Safety yesterday the number of cases treated during the month. Total number of cases treated, 65; total visits, 20?. The fees collected by Armln C. Koehne, master of the East market, amounted to 229.:.0. Weighmaster Hrittaln y collected $179.60. ' The building Inspector, J. G. Pendergast, reported 152 inspections; 2T.8 licenses: value of licenses. $.132,053.30; plans approved. CO. It. A. Orlopp, humane inspector, reported &; cases attended to, 32 horses relieved, 4 cows ordered fed, 4 horses relieved from excessive checking and live from overloading; number of horses killed, 22. The clerk of the board. R. C. Herrick, reported receipts of $534..V. Chief Webster reported forty-nine alarms during- the month. Charles F. Dawson, bailiff of the City Police Court, reported S19 cases di.'posed of during May. Thl3 U a large increase, due in part to the fact of the added jurisdiction in petit larceny cases. Acting- Superintendent of Police Campbell reported as follows: Number of whites arrested. 51S: blacks. 11C; total, 6:11; male, Ml: female, 70; under twenty years of age. Minor Municipal !Votcn. Police powers were yesterday granted the following by the Board of Safetv: W. 1. Noble, J. W. Tago and W. II. Wilson. The Board of Safety yesterday investigated the charge of assault and battery against fatrolman Tomlinson. preferred by Mrs. iornberg-er. The evidence fM not sustain the charge, which was dismissed. AMUSEMENTS. - Park Continuous Mhovr Opens. At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon Baldwin & Young's continuous show opened at the Park Theater, and the performance ran straight through until 11 o'clock last nipht. The show Is first-class every way, and will likely pack the Park soon as tho weather will let it. The new electric fans kept the theater fairly comfortable yesterday. The four-act drama, "Passion's Slave," was given twice during the nine hours, the numerous vaudeville acts being presented before and after the play and after each act. Bonnie Lottie Is one of the most popuiar cards of the show. She Is a dainty, graceful young girl, and her tdnginpr and dancing made a big hit. She jdngs Jolly songs, dances with remarkable grace, and throws In a contortion act that is even more wonderful. Her coptumes are very fetching. The Mendoza Sisters aerial act is one of the most daring ever seen in an Indianapolis theater. Their trapezes are hung at the top of the proscenium arch and their air trk-ks done on a level with the third story, where one hangs and swings by her toes from the toes of the other, hanging by her teth to a cord in the teeth of the other. The women seem to risk their necks and lives in every trick. Once, while, one hung by her knees and lowered the otner about ten feet, suddenly the latter darted toward the audience in the mnst realtlstlc fall and aa.-.n-krAs1 Ino tn t h renri nf the Mxinln 1m . 1 . v n'cu ii - ' - ... , - - - jrbQ tlo'ifici while some icreamcJL but tht

was all right, as it was an extension trapeze that lowered her suddenly. Dixon. Bowers an 1 Dixon make a funny trio. The title of '.'Three Rubes" gives no idea of their take-off on the rustic. The Buomans, Frank and Rose Adele, are a clever couple in specialty and in the play. Moreland and Thompson (Minnie), sketch artists, give a neat act. Their sinking and dancintr is refined, artistic and enjoyable. Irvln T. Hush, as the "Arkansaw Trilby." is a Jovial and clever artist. The Victorelll's shadowgraphs wdll please persons of all ages, and there are various other specialties worth seeing. "Passion's Slave" will be given again to-day and to-mdTrow. Hartley Campbell's "Fate" will be put on Thursday. MINISTERS ANNUAL PICNIC.

They father at Falrvlevr Park and Lny Aside Their Inual Cares. The Ministers' Association closed its meetings yesterday with a luncheon at Falrview Park. About eighty-five persons, including the families of the ministers, were present and a splendid time was enJoyed. It was a picnic for ministers alono as it has become a custom to end the season of meetings by such an affair. At the regular meetings great and weighty questions are considered, but at the annual picnics all weighty matters are thrown aside and everybody tries to have a good time. The heat of yesterday interfered somewhat with the efforts to have a good time. Tho ministers spent the day trying to keep cool. It looked very pleasant in the pavilion, shaded by the large trees, but anyone who was present can testify that it was a warm place. Rev. M. I j. Haines acted as toastmaster at the cold banquet which was spread. Rev. C. N. Sims asked a blessing. After the meal those present made speeches. Denominational arguments were forgotten and the most friendly feeling existed. Rev. H. A. Huchtel spoke on the subject, "The High Churchman;" Rev. E. P. Brown spoke on "Ten Minutes in Ciderville;" Rev. D. L. Mackenzie told how it seems to a newcomer. Bishop White could not be present, so Rev. G. A. Carstensen spoke in his place. Remarks were made by Francis Murphy, Rev. R. V. Hunter, of Terre Haute, and others. After the midday meal the ministers spent the afternoon on the grounds sitting under the trees and they all say they had a pleasant time. REACHED 100 DEGREES AND REMAINED STATIONARY FOR TWO HOURS YESTEIIDAY. Another Rccorrt-Urenklngr Day The Thermometer Climb Heavenward anil the People Swelter. The theory that the earth is burning up and that the Inhabitants thereof will be extinct within a few years found favor with the peoplo of this vicinity yesterday. AH day the sun shown In a cle..ar sky with an intense heat and the breeze which blew failed to bring relief, for it, too, was hot. The mercury went two degrees higher than it has ever been known to go in June, reaching the 100 mark. But it is needless to dwell at length upon the day, for it is an unpleasant memory which may be repeated to-day. Suffice it to say it was an exceedingly hot day, and people went about with anxious faces, not alone for their own misery, but with a thought of what an immense damage is being done by the continued heat and drought. The heat arose in waves from the hot asphalt ravements. Tedestrlans were very shy, and they hurried along in the shadows of buildings, many with wet rags in their hats, while out in the country the dust and heat united in waves, causing the growing crops to assume a' more deathlike hue. The farmer looked anxiously toward the west, watching each sirall stray cloud, for already his crop is paritally ruined, if not entirely. The following figures, taken by the intsruments in an airy little cage on the roof of the Ingalls building, show how the mercury stood each hour since 1 o'clock yesterday morning until 10 o'clock last night: 1 a. m 77 12 m a. m 7$ 1 p. m !6 2 p. m 93 3 p. m 100 4 p. m 10) 5 p. m W 6 p. m 97 7 p. m 92 8 P. m K0 9 p. m 87 lo p. m &5 a. m 77 a. m 75 a. m..... 75 a. m 76 a. m - 81 a. m a. m 92 1 a. m 93 11 a. m 95 These figures are conservative, as all figures furnished by the weather man are. The drug-store thermometers went higher, and many an instrument registered from 10O to 108 in the shade. Indianapolis was without doubt the hottest place in the country, unless Louisville be excepted, where the thermometer performed the same feat as it did here. It Is hot all around here, but if the occasion arises Indianapolis can furnish 140,01)0 witnesses who will swear that it was hotter here than any place else. Duriner the day the curbstone politicians were driven from their accustomed meeting places and gathered together in the parks or some shady spots, where they argued the question whether or not the Democratic administration is responsible for the heat and drought.. These wme philosophers talked regarding the crops, and the sentiment was that the crops are ruined. If it should rain the wheat will be killed by rust, and if it should not the corn and other crops will die from the heat. A trip throughout the country in the neighborhood of Indianapolis is anything but encouraging. The grass along the roads is dry and colorless. The dust on the roads is several inches deep, and the winds have blown it on growing vegetation, giving it anything but a healthy look. The corn appears sickly, having a bdiou color, while the wheat shows more the effect of previous unfavorable weather than it does of the drought. All the small streams are dry, or nearly so. while the larger streams resemble small stream in rainy weather. Persons who live in the city and get the benefit of the water supply cannot realize the true condition. A reporter called on Mr. Wappenhans last evening and asked him if he could not quietly give a tip regarding what is to come. The only man to whom the Indianapolis public looks for encouragement shook his head sadly and replied to the reporter's questions: "It is hot, and we have to make the best of it. I have tried to do my duty by the Indianapolis public. The rain which we thought was coming this way Is going a little too far north to do us any great good. We may get a little rain here tonight or early in the morning, but the indications for a big rain to-night are not so good as they were this morning. To-morrow will probably not be so hot as to-daj. They have had rains southwest of here, and thesa will probably cool this atmosphere somewhat. The conditions may change, however, and to-morrow a more hopeful condition may be observable. I can givo you tables by the score, but figures won't help matters much. People suffering with the heat can't find consolation in reports showing them that thl9 time last year they were cold." The following tables, furnished by Mr. Wappenhans, show how matters stand, and Indicate what unusual months April and May of this year were as compared with the same months of 1SD4. The highest temperature, the lowest temperature and the precipitation for each day, of these months is shown: 1S94. 1S35. April. May. April. May. H. L. P. H. L. P. IT. L. P. II. L.

The Central Christian Church hell another larg:e audience last evening to .attend, the literary exercises of the senior class of the Girls Classical School. ' As the members of the class entered the door to the platform a long procession of children of the primary department entered from an opposite door, bearing flowers, and filled the two front seals of the church. All the graduates wore white gowns, and sat in three rows on the platform, with Mrs. May Wright Sewall at their left. Mrs. Sewall introduced the class of 1895 to the audience, and said the literary exercises were not to consist of formal essays, but were rather to represent a lesson of the English literature class, illustrating the work of the year. Then follwed, in the form of conversations or written notes, descriptions of writers, their works, and the individual impressions made by each on the speaker. They were all well delivered, and the girls showed remarkable self-possession and command of language. At the close of each selection other members of the class were called on for their views, which were freely and interestingly given. The conduct of the exercise was quite unlike anything usually given on such occasions. The subjects and speakers were: "Irving and His Sketch Hook," Xema Marie Whitcomb; "A Literary Antithesis," Edith Wallick; "Evangeline." Miriam Rose Moore; "Irving and Longfellow a Parallel," .Mary Eastman (special student); "Webster a Biographical Sketch," Helen Cheney Nelson; "John Milton a Biographical Sketch." Nelle Oabriella Mcintosh; "Four of Milton's Shorter Poems," Ruth Dunbar Raub; "Macaulay's Literary Style," Georgia Brookings; "Walter Scott a Character Sketch," Julia Bullard Fletcher; "-Mary, Queen of Scots as Portrayed in 'The Abbott, " Helen Pettit Spencer; "Magdalene Graeme and Her Grandson." Elizabeth Catherine Morris: "Friendship as Portrayed in the "Merchant of Venice,' " Clara Elizabeth Hauelsen; "Impressions of Portia Merchant of Venice, " Eliza Chambers; "Three of Shaksreare's Women," Alma Clarice Watts; "Addison and His Chief Creation," Annie Elizabeth Eraser. The class, with the other members of the school, sang two choruses, and Miss L. Ryan, accompanied by the chorus, sang "Angel of Hope." Mr. F. X. Arens conducted the music. At the close of each half of the programme the girls presented the flowers they carried to the member of the class whose flower bearer she was. After the final chorus Mrs. Sewall Invited the friends to the front of the church to greet the girls. This evening the annual hop will be given In the Propylaeum assembly hall, and tomorrow night the closing exercises at the Grand Opera House. JUNIOR KIKRCISES. Knickerbocker Hull Clnna Renders a Good Programme.

These latter were Miss Grace Adams, Miss Edith Bingham, Miss Elizabeth Bannon, Miss Margery Davis, Miss Katherine. Davis, Miss Augusta Hunter, Miss Alexandria Hale and Miss Grace Shepard.

This evening there will be exercises by the primary class, , and Thursday the graduating exercises. Demln Untler Society. Last night, in the college chapel, the fifteenth annual exhibition of the Demia Butler Society occurred. This society is the only purely literary organization for young women in the college. It has been only through the most earnest efforts of a fewgirls that the society has withstood the accruing disadvantages of the last two years. The six-day system and the higher standard of work have helped to kill the literary societj', formerly such an important element in college life. The membership of this society is, therefore, small, and the young ladies were assisted In carrying out their programme by the teacher of elocution. Miss Lida E. Gilbert, and by Miss Jeffries, an alumnae member. The platform where the young women sat was beautifully decorated with waving plants and flowers. The evening's programme was as follows: Music, overture, "An Evening Out;" declamation, "Music on the Rappahannock," Miss Laura Mace; declamation. "An Easter with Parepa." Miss Mary Lepper; music. "Polka de Concert. L'Klegante;" presentation of diplomas by Miss Flora Bridges; music, "Pride of the Ball;" play, "Sappho." characters: Miss Lida Gilbert as Sappho, the Lesbian poetess: Miss Jeffries as Damophyla. one of Sappho's pupils; Mis Daisy Van Vleck. Erinna. one of Sappho's pupils, and Miss Mary Fletcher, as Phaon. a Lesbian vouth. The costuming and staging 'Of the plav was true to Greek character. The presentation was graceful and impressive, and the effect was artistic in the highest degree. Tho graduates to whom Miss Bridges, the professor of English literature, presented diplomas, were Miss Iura Mace, Mips Mary Lepper. Miss Lora Hadley and .Miss Rose McNeal. Memorlnl-IMy Society. A plan to form a permanent Memorial day society in this city Is to be pushed forward. The members of the committee on organization from the ranks of the G. A. R. are: William H. Tucker, R, S. Foster. Eli Rltter, J. M. Bohmie and Adolph Bergeman. The citizens' committee 'Will be announced in a few davs. The plan is to make the observance of Memorial day a permanent affair to continue after the veterans have passed away. Membership costs 25 cents. Voorhees Here Agnln. Senator Voorhees was In town yesterday. He refused to let reporters into the secret of his visit. He was In consultation with Green Smith at the Grand.
