COMB TO TERSIS WITH THE PIIESEXT ESTABLISHMENT, , And the Plan of the Farmer and Drovers Stock Yards Company AVI 11 Not Materialise. An agreement has been reached between the Belt Railroad and Stock Yards Company and the promoters of the Farmers' and Drovers' Stock Yards Company satisfactory to a majority of the parties concerned. Those business men Interested in the new concern are satisfied with the terms offered by the old company, and as a result there will not bo a new stock yards established in this city at present. The talk of a new company arose over charges for handling stock made by the old company. Discrimination was allege. Kingan & Co. were understood to be the chief backer of the new concern. The latter has already secured an option on ground south of the wheel works near the Belt road, upon which it was proposed to build the new yards. The new company had organized and was preparing to bgln actiie operations, but overtures were mada by members of the old company, and a moeiinsr of the men interested In the two concerns was held. An agreement was reached several days ago, but the union was not consummated. The directors of the two companies decline to state the terms of the proposed agreement A director of the established company stated to the Journal last evening that the interested stockholders had agreed to say nothing of the terms of the agreement until the deal was completed. It is announced, however, that the terms under which this agreement has been reached are satisfactory to Kingan. & Co. and other firms who had complaint to make of the old company. In connection with the agreement It is announced that It. S.'MoKee has resigned as a director and as secretary of tho Belt Railroad and Stock Yard's Company. The resignation was accepted yesterday at a meeting of the directors. It is reported that JIcKee's resignation Is a result of the sentiment of the minority stockholders of the company, who opposed any union or agreement with the Farmers' and Drovers' Company. It is stated that Mr. McKee mae'e known his objections, but finding that he was in the minority thought it wise to sever his connection with the company. Mr. McKee has sold the bulk of his stock to John H. Holliday; who was yesterday elected secretary, as we. as a director. Mr. McKee's resignation was tendered last Monday. He has ben connected with the Belt Railroad and .Stock Yards Company for seventeen years, most of the time holding the position of secretary, and he has seen the enterprise grow from a small beginning to be one of Indlanapolis's most Important Industries and the Belt road to be the busiest thirteen miles of track In this State. The agreement between the two companies will probably be officially ratified to-day or to-morrow. It is generally thousht that the proposed new company becomes a part of the old and some changes In management and perhaps some improvements will follow. An effort was made to interview Mr. Samuel RH1, manager of Kingan A Co., regarding the agreement. "Will you state the terms of the agreement?" was asked. "It would not be proper for me to do so," he answered. "Will you tell who can give the particulars of the de-Al?" I can tell, but you will find no one who will," was the nnwer. Mr. Reid explained that It was not quite time to talk about the matter.

CUTS SOME MORE PIE

MAYOR TAGGART HAS ADDITIONAL APPOIXTJIEXTS MADE. Dr. Courtney for Police Surgeon nnd Geo. Herplck, Street Commissioner As to Minefield's Eligibility. The new Beard of Works organized yesterday afternoon in the private office of the beard, with Mayor Taggart present. After the board had spent half an hour In the private chamber the Mayor emerged and invited the reporters to come in and look at the board. It was announced that Colonel Downing had been elected president and that Bart Parker would be retained as clerk. Colonel Downing was asked as to what policy the board would pursue regarding public improvements. "We are in favor of the policy of public improvements," he said. "As to whether we will keep it up at the rate of the old administration, we cannot say -uat yet. There will not be much done this fall, as it is too late In the season for good work. We have not had the opportunity yet to decide what plans we will map out this winter for work next year." "Will the board refuse to order improvement where a majority of the property owners are opposed to the Improvement?" "That will be largely a matter of what the board thinks necessary. I will Just say we favor improvements." , The board has not reached any conclusion In regard to civil service. It Is apparent that Mayor Taggart Is not in sympathy with civil-service rules, although his utterances yesterday would . indicate that he believed in them as far as they applied to the police and fire forces. When, asked if the rules would be adopted for the street department he said: "I do not know what rules the board may adopt. I don't think the civil-service rules have worked very well In this department. I haven't been able to find that any rules were In force at all as fa? as the Board of Works office was immediately concerned. I !earned that they proved unsuccessful in the streej department. Whenever Mr. Fisher wanted a man he would have to spend half a day looking up some man on the eligible lisrt, perhaps only to find that the man had another Job., Much time was wasted In this way. I do believe, however, that the police and fire . forces should be kept out of politics and that merit alone should be the sole qualification for appointment. I have no objection, of course, to having the forces divided politically. I believe policemen and firemen should .pass civil-service examinations." . "How about civil service In the Board of Health officer "I haven't noticed that civil service was in vogue there. All the sanitary officers are Republicans." It was suggested that, perhaps, the reason for this was that no Democrats could pass the required examination. "Perhaps," said the Mayor with a smile. Engineer Mansfield was closeted with the board all afternoon. Late In the evening it was announced that George Herpick, a contractor, living at No; 42 Camp street, had been appointed street commissioner, to succeed Joseph L. Fisher, who resumed a few days ago. Michael Burn3, formerly an official of the street car company, was an applicant for the position, but the board, despite the pressure "brought to bear, would only give him the assistant commissionerhip. They will both take office Monday morning. Herpick,-lik Burns, Is an exstreet company official.1 5 ; . SOITH SIDE IX ARSIS. Not a Single Plum Has Yet Fallen to that Part of the City. A mighty roar of wrath came up from the South Side last night when it was learned that Mayor Taggart's new Board of Public Safety had "turned down" Dr. Charles Durham who, twenty-four hours ago, appeared to be the popular, candidate for the position of police surgeon. The Board of Safety, met at, ,86'cJocJc )tft night, and appointed Dr. Thomas E. Courtney to the place. The courthouse basement was crowded with South-side Democrats and when the action of the board became known the news traveled speedily. Before midnight the friends of Dr. Durham were fairly up In arms. It was boldly asserted that Mr. Taggart had permitted his board to play a most graceless tricky The South-side supporters of Mr. Taggart .declare that they have been Ignored almost continuously since the scramble, for, places; began. They pay that there has been but one attempt on the part of the administration to recognize the South Side, and that was in the appointment of Edward -Austin on the Board of Public Works. Mr. Austin, they claim, cannot properly be termed a South-side citizen, as he resides but & sqflare below Washington street. It seemed to be generally understood yesterday that Dr. Durham was to have the office of police surgeon. He Is a thorough Democrat and it is said that he was backed by some of the influential men of the party. Why he did not get the place his friends cannot understand and they are disgusted. ,' Dr. Courtney was graduated a few years ago from the Central (College of Physicians and Surgeons. He is about thirty years of age. Three years ago he was an Interne at tho City Dispensary. At present he has an office on Virginia avenue, but lives on North Pennsylvania street. Dr. George Kahlo, who has done efficient work as surgeon for the police and fire departments for two years. Will continue with the new administration until Jan. l. Yesterday he tendered his resignation to the board, and last night the members had a talk with him. He was 4nf3rmed by the board that his work was perfectly satisfactory, but a number bf strong reasons had been urged which .would necessitate the appointment of a Democrat. At the request of the board Dr. Kahlo consented to remain in his present position until the first of the year. The session of the board was held behind closed doors. Mayor Tacrgart was present most of the time. The Mayor reached the office late, and to get . into the caucus he was almost compelled to walk' over the heads of th crowd that lounged about the corridors. Ex-members of the police and fire departments hung , about the doors eager to get the first news, of an appointment. It was expected that these two departments would be pretty well torn up, and there were a number of applications ready. Police Sergeant Kurtz kept guard at the outer door of the board's chambers, and ex-Councilman Pat Ryan watched the inside entrance. Police Superintendent Colbert and Fire Chief Webster were both In waiting, and both had audiences with the board. The police superintendent wanted somo changes made at the police station, and came down to recommend them. Chief Webster enlightened the board as to the workings of the fire department. After making Dr. Courtney police surgeon the board proceeded to announce some other appointments. Thomas Barrett, assistant chief of the fire department, will remain. George W. Bunting was named as the successor of Building Inspector Pendergast, his term of office to begin Nov. 1. At present the new inspector is connected with the Indianapolis terra cotta works. Mayor Taggart says that Mr. Bunting has designed and erected more public buildings than any man In the State of Indiana. Edward Kavanaugh was appointed engineer at the East market house, and Israel Pollock and Michael Scherer were made Janitors of the building. On the recommendation of Superintendent Colbert, John K. Enjrel was appointed to the position of telephone operator at the station house. Mr. Engel will also officiate as clerk to the superintendent. He was employed in this capacity during the last six months Of the Sullivan administration. It is understood that tho Board of Safety will make some changes in the fire department. John Glazier, the popular Republican captain of the "10's" hose company, will be removed to the Marylandstreet engine bouse and Benjamin Beck, a Democrat stationed at the "10's," will be promoted to the captaincy. Glazier will not be reduced. It is believed that fireman Sam Neall will be -brought to headquarters to perform the duties he once performed there. This has been requested by Chief Webster and it Is not likely the board will refuse. AS TO MANSFIELD'S ELIGIBILITY. City Attorney Considering- It an a Iteii(Mt from the. Mayor. Mayor Taggart yesterday asked an opinion of City Attorney Curtis as to whether City Engineer Mansfield was eligible to serve on account- of his relations to the city as a contractor, the point having been

. . j raised that the city is still Interested in guarantees given by Mansfield's firm on the sewer work clone, much of which is in a defective condition. Late in the afternoon the city attorney called on the Mayor for the papers in the case. Mr. Taggart said yesterday that he had called on the city attorney for an opinion because the question of eligibility had been raised. It had been reported that the Mayor was taking this step to gracefully relieve himself of the odium of Mansfield's appointment by retiring that official on technical ground. Mr. Taggart did not talk that way, however. He said he had asked the opinion of an attorney on this same point before giving Mansfield the position. Mr. Taggart thought there was nothing in the charter regarding guarantees by contractors, that the requirement of a guarantee was merely a regulation of the Board of Works. He contended that the sewer work by Mansfield's nrni had been completed and the firm paid. . The guarantee was merely a precaution taken by the city officials, he thought, and did not imply a relationship between the city and the contractor as contemplated bj the city charter in that provision which forbids a city officer from being interested In a contract with the city. , PAYMENT OF ELECTION IHLLS.

Appropriation Not Sufficient Expenses Near fC.OOO. Controller Johnson will begin paying election bills to-morrow, but it is doubtful If he can pay them all, as the appropriation at hand for these expenses is not sufficient and the Council will have to make an additional appropriation unless some of the bills are put off till after Jan. 1. The annexation to the city of much new territory and the creation of additional precincts on account of the city's growth in the last few years has made these expenses Increase.

Democrats Do Not Like the Turning; Down of Wlllnrd Robertson. There is very much of a kick among the Democratic workers at the "turn down" given Willard Robertson, secretary of the city committee, in the appointments made by Captain Curtis, the new city attorney. Robertson wanted to be his assistant, but would have taken the appointment as city prosecuting attorney with about half the pay. He was denied even this, though ,he was about as much deserving, his friends say, at the hands cf the party, as Curtis. But Bronte M. Aikens was appointed. Aikens is a sprig of the law who came to this city two years ago from Canada and is not yet a citizen of the United States in higher degree than his first papers.. -He must live here three more years before he is fully entitled to vote for President of the United States. He has never done any party work except to vote the Democratic ticket, which he found most congenial to his foreign taste. He is a pronounced free trader and was only recently admitted to the bar. It la said of him that he has never attended a primary or a convention, except as a looker-on, If at all. MIL AUSTINS RECORD. Favored Awarding a Panllc Contract to Highest Bidder, a Democrat Firm. The appointment of Mr. Austin as a Democratic member of the Taggart Board of Works recalls a chapter in that gentleman's record as a member of the Common Council. It was in 1851, just before the new charter went Into effect. The big Virginia-avenue sewer contract, comprising a drain from Coburn street to South, was before the Council, and went to the committee on contracts and-franchises, of which Mr. Austin and Mr. Olsen were members. There were Just two bids on the work one by Fulmer & Selbert and the other by a Terre Haute firm. The Ml of Fulmer & Selbert was the lowest, but in spite of this fact Mr. Austin opposed letting the contract to Fulmer & Seibert, but Instead wanted it to go to the. Terre Haute firm. The members of the Terre Haute firm were Democrats, ilessrs. Austin and Olsen, of the contracts committee, reported back to the Council In favor of letting the contract to the highest bidder, the Democratic firm from Terre Haute. Although the Democrats had a large majority in the Council, thev would not sanction such an unjust and such a peculiar proceeding as this, and the report of Messrs. Austin and Olsen was sat upon and the contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, Indianapolis men, whose standing in the community was well known. A great deal was printed In the newspapers of this city about the matter at the 'ime, the affair creating much unfavorable comment. PHOENIX TELEPHONE CONTRACT, i City Attorney Cnrtls Holds that It Is Not Before Present Council. In the light of City Attorney Curtis'fl opinion, given yesterday, the prospects for securing telephone service at a reasonable rate do not look very assuring to the people of Indianapolis. Captain Curtis holds that the Phoenix telephone contract made by the old Board of Works is not now before the present Council, and cannot be recalled from the committee to which it was Intrusted. A permit to lay a switch across New Jersey street Is also in the same predicament as the Phoenix ordinance, as It was not acted upon -before the life of the old Council expired. Mr. Curtis's opinion regarding the inability of a new Council to take up ordiances which were In committee in the old Council agrees with that of exCity Attorney Scott. The Phoenix Telephone Company Is composed -of a number of prominent Indianapolis business men, and it made an effort to get an honest contract with the city, agreeing to furnish telephones to subscribers at $3 a month instead of the exorbitant rate now charged by the Central Union Company. Several months were taken before the Board of Works, and the Phoenix company came to an agreement which was satisfactory to those watching over the city's Interests. It Is not known whether the present Board of Works will pigeonhole this Phoenix contract or send It back to the present Council for Its approval. ONE GOOD INSPECTOR. Georjre nolee Compels Contractors to Comply vrlth Specifications. Residents of North Delaware street are much pleased with the work of inspector George Boice, and are making a strong effort to have him retained on Engineer Mansfield's force. The Western Paving and Supply Company is paving that street north of Seventh, and it Is said that inspector Boice has held the company strictly to the letter of its contract In such a manner as to merit the admiration of the property owners. The company, it is said, distributed a lot of curbing In the street that was not free from seams. When Inspector Boice saw it he condemned almost the entire lot, and marked the bad pieces with red crosses. The citizens say that the company had the cresses brushed off and then put the stone in the ground. Last Friday inspector Boice discovered this, and had all the defective pieces removed at considerable cost to the company. Nearly three hundred feet 'was condemned. It required two days to remove it, and delayed the laying of concrete one day. The people In that neighborhood have come to the conclusion that Mr. Boice Is the right kind of a man for an inspector, and are doing all they can to secure his retention by the new engineer. The Controller Appointments. Controller Johnson will make hasie very slowly in changing the force In nls office, as he finds that the responsible and important work done by the clerks In that office will require men equally as competent, and these are hard to find. Charles Evans will probably be appointed a deputy. Will Amimm the Deficit. A meeting will be held this afternoon1 by the citizens carnival committee to close up the financial transactions for the year. The deficit Is about $3.00t, necessitating an assessment of per cent.

THE G. 0. P. GATHERING

STATE COMMITTEE MEETING DRAWS 31 ANY REPUBLICANS.' Expressions of Many Lenders In the State on Pertinent Questions Nicholson Law Discussed. There will be a conference this afternoon at the Denlson House among a large number of Republicans who are expected to be present from all parts of the etate. The occasion of the gathering Is the meeting of the State committee. There are questions of organization for next year which will occupy the attention of the committee, and the party advisers will be present by ' tacit understanding. The as-. sembly is to be something, it Is said, in the n;ture of a love feast. Policies and prospects will be discussed. IMuch profit is expected to result from this Interchange pf Ideas, it being the first opportunity for such thing since the election of 1894. The prospects for success next year have been considered to be so fair that a great many candidates for Governor have been spoken of, and it Is believed that a number of candidates for all the State offices for which there Is an election will mingle in the crowds to-day, and will thus .extend their acquaintance. A fewof the party workers and leaders arrived yesterday, among them being Congressman Royse, of the Thirteenth district; Congressman Overwtreet, of FrankMn; Senator Haggard, of Lafayette; W. T. Durbin, of Anderson; Frank M. Milliken, formerly secretary of the committee; Senator Hubbell, of Elkhart; ex-Reprcsenta-tive Wllioughby, of Vincennes; "William D. Fraxer, of Warsaw; Rolla B. Oglesbee, Calvin Cqwgill, of Wabash, and ex-Postmaster Smith, of Lafayette. Among the prominent Republicans of the city or living here who were seen in the lobby were Col. Ivan N. Walker, State Tax Commissioner; W. H. Hart, Deputy Audltoi of State; W. D. Owen, Secretary of State, and Swift Wright, Deputy Secretary of State. It was easy to detect an absolute confidence among the Republican leaders that the State would again roll Up a Republican majority, but it was conceded that the figures would not be quite so high as last year, when the plurality In Indiana was nearly 46,000. That was unprecedented in Indiana, and most of those who commented on the situation said it was beyond question that "the Democracy of the State had taken some courage since the disaster of 1S94, when not a single Democratic Congressman was elected. Congressman Royse said: "I am confident the Republicans of Indiana are in excellent shape to win a great victory next year. It is true the Democrats of my district feel encouraged since the election here last week, -but I have found no Republicans who are discouraged. They regret that the result was adverse, but the effect is one rather to give motive and energy to the party. The issues next year will be drawn on national lines, so that State matters and local politics will cut little figure, and we think up our way that the party will have no difficulty In uniting on every essential Republican doctrine In readiness for the fight." Senator Haggard said he did not believe the Nicholson law had any deciding influence in the Indianapolis election. 'That bill was not a party measure," ho said, ."and It could have been defeated by the Governor if he wanted it done. It came to him too late to be passed over his veto, if he had wanted to veto it. and thus it remained entirely with him whether it should , be a law or not. Where saloon men In my county or city have complained of being injured by the law I have found that the hard times was the real cause. The administration at Washington has broken .up three saloons to one by th.e Nicholson law. Lower wages or no wages tell the story. Not being a party measure. I do not think the Republican party in Its platform has any necessity for referring to the subject at all. Let the law stand on its merits, as all such laws Should." 'Ex-Representative Wllioughby said the Nicholson law is unpopular and always had been in his county, but that the sentiment does not reach the point of a demand for Its repeal. "The law," he said, "was a nonpartisan measure, the majority of both parties in both houses voting for it. It could not have been passed without Democratic votes, and the Governor could have killed it If it were a party action. I do not favor making any reference to It in the party platform, because It Is more and mare recognized that such legislation ought not to bo allied with party policies." Mr. Durbin said the feeling In 'Madison county is one of disappointment that the city did not elect the Republican ticket, but that the Republicans of Madison county are ready for a conflict with the opposition next year. They await the struggle with confidence. Frank Milliken ald that the Republicans he meets over the State are stirred to greater energy by the result of the Indianapolis election. "It has taught the party a lesson." he continued. "The greatest care will be taken in the selection of candidates, especially for the Legislature. I find there is a general approval of the Ideas of a Journal correspondent signing hims-lf 'U. L. See in a card advising Republicans that it is not necessary for the party to give the Nicholson bill a political bearing by placing it in the Republican platform. It was not partlsm legislation and is a question that localities must now settle for thems Ives. The issues next year will be the broad lines that distinguish the Republican party, and the contest will be fought out on them. The candidates for Governor Include Frank Posey, of Kvansville; Charles T. Doxey, of Anderson; Secretary of State Owen, , Smiley N. Chambers. John L. Griffiths, D. M. Ransdell and Justus C. Adams, of Indianapolis; Charles F. Griffin, of Hammond; Warren Favre, of Wabash; Will Cumback, of Greensburg; Charle3 U Henry.of Anderson, and Theodore Shocknev, of Union City. The names of John K. Gowdy and J. N. Huston are also frequently mentioned. Mr. Scholz will be a candidate for re-election as State Treasurer. R. A. Brown is spoken of as a candidate fcr Secretary of State in the event that Mr. Owen Is a candidate for Governor. Sir. Daily and Mr. Ketcham will be candidates to succeed themselves. Harry Tuttle, of Michigan City, has announced that he will be a candidate for Reporter of tho Supreme Court. . AN OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT. Colored Man Entices n Small Hoy Into the Country, bat lie Escnpes. An eight-year-old son of Charles Stevens, a saloon keeper at the corner of Blake and Rhode Island streets, was the victim of a most revolting assault yesterday afternoon. A colored man engaged the lad to carry a basket for him and the two started out Indiana avenue. When out in the country the negro seised the boy and threw him to the ground. The lad escaped, wading across the river in doing so. He arrived home badly frightened. His Injuries are serious and some apprehension is felt for hl3 recovery. Special Bath Room Tiles. Jno. M.
