Flower Mission "Will Improve the Otartera for It Children's HoittnI. ' At the - meeting of the Flower Mission yesterday morning the constitution for the new branch of the mission's work, that of the "Flower Mission Elinor Home," was considered. The home, which will be a hospital, will be managed by a board of twelve, half to serve for three years and half for two years. The Flower Mission has received a number of liberal donations for the home. Several persons have offered to give $100 annually for ten years. There have been donations of lumber and other materials for, the repairs and furnishings for the building. The Gresham homestead, on: North Capitol avenue, which has been given for. the home, has been found to be well adapted to the purpose, the rooms being large and airy and many. Drawings have been made for the improvements which have begun. The dining room will be made larger and the addition will run up to the second story, making an additional room there, while on the third floor there are two good room.". Matters will be expedited and it Is expected that the home will be opened in October for occupancy. The need of the home is felt now. for there are cases in the Flower Mission's care which ought to be taken to Just such a place as this will be. The choice of the board of managers will be made later. Each manager will have charge of the institution for a month with reports to the Flower Mission at Its meeting each week. It Is to be managed on a basis which Flower Mission experience has found to be the wisest. The Soldiers Provision Store. A number of veteran soldiers met at the Criminal Court room last night to discuss the plan of organizing a soldiers' co-operative association. On account of the light attendance, however, the meeUng was not called to order. The date for another meetrff will be announced in a few days. It is proposed by some of the veteran to cJrjianlze a stock company and start a provision store on fhe co-operative plan. Colliers and their families will b able to purchase goods at a 19 per cent, reduction, and at the end of the year, if profits have accrued, dividends will be declared among the itockholderu. . Must "Walt Till the JuilKr Come Hark. Frank Stern, alias Walter Hyatt, was arrested Tuesday at Terre Haute, charged with robbing the postofflce at Itlgsby, III. He was brought here yesterday by a deputy L'nlted States marshal and placM In Jail.

NO PROPER DRAINAGE

rnorEnTY owners ohth of FOtHTEEXTH STREET COM PL A IX. Tonillnnou Hall M lie Lighted by Electricity Work Ilonrtl Write to the Reduction Com pan;. The Board of Works Is In receipt of a pointed letter from property owner3 and residents in that territory west of Central avenue and between Fall creek and Fourteenth street, concerning the defective system of drainage in that part of the cit. The petitioners ask the board to temporarily lower the catch basins so they will take up the water and conduct It into the sewers. It is asked that the tow points In Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets be 'filled up at once, so as to make the streets passable duiing the coming winter. "No section cf the city has improved so rapidly and substantially as this," wrote the complainants, "and yet it has done so despite the apparent indifference and sometimes unfriendly discrimination of the city government. Of the three city engineers who have been in oflice since its annexation the first fixed the grade of Pi nnsylvanla streetturning the water from each end Into the middle and provided no outlet for its escape: the second raised the grade of Talbott avenue two feet above that of Pennsylvania street and one foot above hlghwater In Fall creek; ;ne present engineer raised the grade of evory street in the district to correspond with Talbott avenue, disregarding the fact that the grades of several streets had been fixed by hs predecessors and permanent improvements made according to the fixed grade. He has elevated the catch basins on the unimproved streets over tha lateral sewers, no that no water can yet into thexe sewers until the streets are filled according to ths same grade. As a result the water from all the Improved streets in the north half of Morton Place and from the east end of Fourteenth street iuns over the sewers and Into the collars of the people living north of Fourteenth street. These people have been as.tesed for the construction of the Fourteenthstreet sewer and yet the water collected runs into their premises. The property owners are informed and believe that under the circumstances the city is responsible for any and all damages that may result from an overflow." The above was signed by E. B. Martindale. Sarah K. Taylor, D. M. Elliott. S. M. Brundage, John Winner, H. D. Hopkins, John T. Hedges and John H. Crall. The board instructed the city engineer to investigate the complaint and file a full report of the existing conditions in that part of the city. PIIOE.MX COMPANY'S LETTER. It AVnsj Marked "Private," lint Fell Into the "Work IlonriPn Hands. A type-written letter marked "private" fell into the hands of the Board of Public Works yesterday. The envelope was detached and there was no way to determine to whom it had been sent except by the contents, which were of a character evidently not intended for the eyes of the board. The epistle bore the signature of the "Indianapolis Phoenix Telephone Company." It began with "dear sir," an contiued as follows: "Are you interested in getting better and cheaper telephone service? Do you want the wires put under ground .In the central part of the city? If you do, you want to see. your councilman and see that he take3 enough Interest In your welfare to push the ordinance now pending before that body. We inclose you herewith a copy of the ordinance. Our company has come to an agreement with the Board of Public Works, and it remains for the Council to decide whether we will come In or not, and we decline to accept a franchise until this ordinance is passed. Our company agree to give you far better service than you are now getting at 13 a month for business houses and 12 for residences. Every subscriber to a telephone should be sufficiently interested in securing better service and lower prices to visit their councilman and. ask that he does what he can to pass an ordinance that will give competition in the telephone business in Indianapolis. This matter will be decided this week." The board members were considerably amused at the wording of the above. "It seems as if the matter Is out of our hands entirely, or. rather, that everything has been fixed with us," remarked one member. "These people remind me of the American Reduction Company," said President Holton. "I don't believe they know what they want." SCORED THE CONCERN. Works Hoard AVrltea n Letter to American Redaction Company. The first thing the Board" of Public Works did yesterday mornins was to prepare a letter for the edification of Mr. Edmund Kelly, secietary of the American Reduction Company, of New York. The attention of the secretary was called to the failure of his representative and the city to make a contract for the treatment and collection of garbage, and to the fact that a "subterfuge was resorted to at the last moment." "The whole thing has resulted in a contemptible farce," continued the board, "for which no one connected with the city government of Indianapolis is in the least responsible. Your company has caused the city to be delayed three months or more In arranging to care for its refuse in a sanitary way, to make large outlays on the faith of your company's promises, and brought great Inconvenience to our people. to say nothing of the humiliation you have heaped upon our officials by this final act." In conclusion the board Intimates to Mr. Kelly that the city will expect to be made whole by the American Reduction Company without any compulsion on the part of the board. TOML1XSOX HALL LIGHTING. Hoard of Work Considering: a Plan for Valnar Electricity. The Board .of Works has in mind the lighting I of Tomllnson Hall entirely- by electrlclty. A communication received yesterday from the Indianapolis Light and Power Company estimated that it would require four hundred lamps to light the hall and the boiler room In the basement. The cost for lighting these four hundred lamps will be the same as gas. The board has already contracted for Improvements in the hall aggregating and Is endeavoring to keep the cxptnse within the G.iX set apart for the improvements. With the additional expense of changing the lighting apparatus in the hall the cost of the improvements will probably exceed this sum. WHERE GUARANTEES EXPIRE. City Engineer Ordered to Carefully Inspect These Streets. The Board of Public Works yesterday advised the city engineer to investigate the character of brick to be used in the construction of the new State-street sidewalks. F. W. Noltlng.ls the contractor. Mr. Atkinson, of the board, visited t'.ie work a dav cr two ago and was not entirely naiisfied with the material intended lor use. In this connection the city engineer was further instructed to carefully inspect all permanently improved streets where the guarantee expires this year. If. in the judgment of the engineer, repairs should b made he is authorized to order them at once. rv Awplinlt Hroliit!on. The Board of Public Works has adopted the following improvement resolutions: For grading and paving Market street with asphalt to a wiuth of fifty feet, from Alabama to East street, except the intersection .with New Jersey street. For grading and paving with asphalt the roadway of Ash street to a width of twenty-seven feet, from Lincoln avenue to Seventh street. For grading and paving with asphalt to a width of thirty-seven feet the roadwav of Kentucky avenue, from Missouri street to River avenue. For grading and paving with brick to a width of six feet the west sidewalk of Chadwlck street, from McCarty to Ray street. The Itroadiray Ceiarnt Sidewalks. Tho Board of Public Works yesterday overruled the remonstrance of interested property owners and took final action In

the matter of building cement sidewalks along Broadway between Thirteenth street and Bedford avenue. The work will be commenced as originally ordered without modification. Final Action Taken. The Board of Public Works took final action yesterday on the following improvement resolutions, no remonstrances appearing: For paving with cement the sidewalks of Nineteenth street, from College avenue to Ashland avenue. For paving with cement the sidewalks of Talbott avenue, from Boston street to Fourteenth street. For paving with cement the west sidewalk of New Jersey street, from Fort Wayne avenue to Michigan street, and the east sidewalk, from Fort Wayne avenue to Massachusetts avenue. For paving with cement the sidewalks and bowlderine the gutters of Woodruff avenue, from Clifford avenue to Brooks'.de. , Municipal Xotea. A petition has been granted property owners for a sewer in Sullivan street from Bismarck to McCarty street. The Board of Works granted permission to property owners to construct a driveway across the sidewalk In front of 431 West First street. The Board of Works yesterday took final action In the street sweeping and cleaning resolutions and ordered that all action heretofore taken be confirmed without modification. There were no remonstrances. The Board of Public Works yesterday ordered the city engineer to prepare the necessary papers for the improvement of Park avenue, from Massachusetts avenue to St. Clair street. The roadway is to be Improved with asphalt. The engineer was also Instructed to proceed with the grading and graveling of Concordia street, from Georgia to Meek street. CARNIVAL ARRANGEMENTS.

Committee AV1U liny .More Chalra nnd Make Improvement. The general committee of the Citizens' Carnival Association met yesterday and organized for the fall work. The members of the general committee are I. S. Gordon, Henry S. FraBer, D. M. Parry, A. Kipp. Sol Hays, Thomas II. McLean, George A. Day. and C. C. Perry. The subcommittees appointed yesterday are as follows: Auditing and executive committee W. H. Holton, I. S. Gordon and Thomas H. McLean. Railroads George A. Day, D. M. Parry, and Henry S. Fraser. City advertising Sol Hays. Outside advertising C. F. Kennedy. Programme and fireworks A. Kipp. Transportation and lights Thomas 11. McLean and C. E. Perry. A resolution recently passed by the local passenger association was read. It gives a rate of 1 cent a mile each way for the second night's performance, which will bo Thursday, Sept. 5. The first performance will be on Labor day, and the railroads have already announced a rate for that day. The rates for the second week have not yet been announced. The third week will be the week of the State Fair, lor which low rates will be given. It is expected that specially low rates will be secured for at least one day of the fair, so as to bring an extra large number of people to the city. The committee is expecting to have much larger crowds this year than attended last year, and have begun their preparations accordingly. An order was placed yesterday for a largo number. of chairs, which will be bought outright by the committee and kept for the future. It is the intention to Increase the number of chairs this year by filling a large space at the ends of the part of the pavillion occupied by chairs last year. This will increase the number of 73-cent seats, and still leave room enough for those who last year bought the halfdollar seats. The entrances will also be changed, and arrangements made to prevent the holders of the 50-cent seats from climbing over into the reserved portion, as was done in so many instances last year. The Sixteenth-street entrance will be used exclusively for 50-cent tickets, and an entrance will be fnade on Central avenue for holders of reserved seat tickets. A netting will be stretched around the reserved seats, high enough to keep others from climbing over the railing, but not so as to obstruct the view. Another entrance will be made on the west side for persons that drive out. A place will also be provided outside the grounds for the safe hitching of horses. It !s the intention of the committee to spend about $1,000 for permanent Improvements at the park. It is now certain that such entertainments 'can be successfully given in this city, and the committe realized that there are many things necessary at the park to place the ground In th condition that will be demanded by people who would support the carnivals as a permanent Institution. Even with the expenditure for improvements, the committee will not expend as mu:h by nearly $2,000 as It did last year, when it had to erect all its buildings and excavate for the lake. This places the committee in a condition to take up the enterprise this year in a manner that will insure its success In every way. The large and small posters will be here In a few days, and men will be put on the road Immediately to place them all over the State. Work will bein to-day getting up the advertisements nce?sary for the little descriptive book that will be sent out over the State. The different committees were Instructed yesterday to proceed with their parts of the, work Immediately as they thought best, and such questions as they were unable to determine to refer to the executive committee. STANDARD GRADES FOR BRICK. A Committee of the Xatlonal Brickmaker Asnoclatlon In Session A committee of the National Brickmakers Association met at the office of the Clay Worker yesterday. The committee consists of Professor Edward Orton, jr., director of the clay-working department of the Ohio State University, of Columbus, O.; Daniel W. Mead, city engineer of Rockport, 111.; Frank B. McAvoy, of Philadelphia; W. D. Richardson, of Cleveland: Willard Beehan, of Streator, 111.; D. V. Purlngton, of Chicago, 111.: J. M. Jones, of Haydenvllle. O., and H. A. Wheeler, E. M., of the Missouri State Geological Survey, of St. Louis. F. F. Herrington. the engineer of the testing laboratory of St. Louis, Is also attending the meeting, though he Is not a member of the committee. The object of the meeting is to adopt some standard by which brick may be tested, and thus establish standard grades to guide the manufacturers of the country, and at the same time make It much easier for city engineers to select the grade of brick' desired for certain pavements. At present so many tests are used by different city engineers that brickmakers do not know what Is expected of their ware in the different localities. A GRAND ARMY RECEPTION. Honor to He Shown Commander-in-Chief Lnwler To-Day. Commander-in-chief Lawler, of the Grand Army of the Republic, will be met at the Union Station this afternoon by a committee consisting of W. M.

No. 373 North Capitol avenue, and much Interest was manifested in the approaching services to be conducted bv them Members of other churches where there are to be no services are asked to attend. Four Xew Pontofflce Clerk. Postmaster Sahm was yesterday Instructed by the department at Washington to increase his force by the appointment of four more clerks.

Smith. 91 North Delaware street; Alva W. Gulley, Clermont. The sale of stamps at this office for last month was $:$,9o7.5. an Increase of 12 per cent, over the sales for July of last year.

REAL-ESTATE VALUES

TAX COMMISSIONERS WILL KEEP CLOSE TO THE 1801 FIGURES. Large Decrease lu Many Counties and Inereae in Only n Fen- ' Outsider Appenl. The State Board of Tax Commissioners spent some ; time yesterday discussing the real-estate appraisement. Only a little over a third of the county auditors have sent in their lists showing the real-estate appraisement and this fact has prevented the board from having a fuller discussion. It has already been practically decided that the appraisement shall remain near the figures of18?l, which, the board thinks, considering "the depreciation in values, will be a litte nearer the true cash value than ever before. 'The counties that have reported show a great discrepancy in valuation. Seme have made material increases in the average, while others have made a cut. The assessments in a large number of the counties will be increased to the figures of 1831. The following shows the assessment of this year and of 1S91 in those counties that have reported: 1891. 1893. County. - Av. per acre. Av. per acre.

This is a mutual company managed on the assessment plan and there are no profits. Each member is entitled to carry $2,000 insurance and is- called upon for an assessment when a loss occurs, otherwise he pays nothing. The company has loans to the amount of $8,930, which the township assessor discovered and listed. The company appealed to the county board and the assessor was sustained by a vote of three to two. An appeal followed. The company has been in existence for twenty years and has never paid any taxes, it being claimed that as it was organized as a mutual benefit association and no one profited in any way, it was exempt. The board rendered no decision. Two briefs filed by Charles L. Seward, of Liberty, caused the board much amusement. One was In ths case. of the Union County National Bank. .In .which Seward, as a taxpayer, appealed . from the county board's action. The township assessor listed the stock of the bank at $50,000, its par value, and the county board raised the amount to $33,000. . The assessor allowed a deduction from this amount pf $7,000, a debt cf one of the stockholders,, as an offset against his portion of the assessed stock. This was allowed by the county board. Seward asked that this deduction be set aside and also that the assessment be Increased to $87,500. No action was taken by the board. Seward's other appeal was against H. C. Peters, who owns ten shares of running stock in the Liberty Building and Loan Association. He has been paying at the rateiof $2.50 a .week, and now the stock Is worth $961 and will, mature in a few months. Seward claimed that. as this stock was held merey as an Investment and no. loan had ever been made cn It. it should be listed for taxation. The board merely passed this appeal aside, its former, rulings settling that the stock was not taxable. Secretary of State Owen was sworn in yesterday as a member of the commission and remained Just long, enough to explain his absence in the past. He left yesterday to take his wife, who Is In very poor health, to the seashore. He thought he would return In about ten days. The other members of the board are anxious that he should be present when the final appeal of the railroads is heard. . Incorporated-Yrsterdny.
