Presidents' day of the Indianapolis Woman's Club was observed yesterday afternoon in the east parlor of the Propylaeum. Unique Invitations were sent out a week ago to the members, and each member had the privilege of Inviting any out-of-town visitor, so that when the company assembled the room was full. The parlor was converted into a handsome drawing room, the new wall decorations adding not a little to the general effect. The tones are green, and they harmonized with the palms, which stood here and there, and the rich hues of the rugs which covered the floors. One of the wall decorations was the original sketches made by Miss Alice N. Woods for the invitations, and which one of the members had framed and presented to the club. One picture was a watch pointing to the hc,ur of 3 o'clock, a second was the club monogram prettily fashioned, and the largest was a group of nine ladies at an afternoon reception. A buffet luncheon of two courses was served from 3 to 4 o'clock, and later the introduction of the new officers took place. Mrs. Victor K. Hendricks, the retiring president, presided as toastmlstress, and introduced Mrs. Henry D. Pierce, the new president. Then, in turn, the other officers were introduced, and each made a short address.

W, Harmon, for the executive committee, of which she is the chairman; Mrs. Spruance, for the membership committee, Mrs. Henry Jameson, for the room committees, and. lastly, Mrs. J. L.

Lasby. the new pastor of the church, and his family, Mrs. Lasby and one son" The reception was held in the large room, of tho old building, whicfi is admirably suited to such gatherings, and it was profusely decorated with flags and flowers, convenient seats and brightly lighted. The officers of the church and their wives and the members of the pulpit supply committee and their wives assisted in the reception and entertainment of the members. The new pastor could feel no doubt of the cordial reception accorded him in the speeches of welcome which were made. Rev. Mr. Duncan, the presiding elder, welcomed Dr. Lasby to the district and the conference. Rev. D. J. Ellison, of the first Baptist Church, made him welcome to the friendship of the Baptist and other churches of the city. Rev. T. I. Coultas gave the right hand of fellowship from the other Methodist churches, and Dr. L. H. Dunning and Mr. Charles F. Coffin made him welcome to all other interests of- the city.

Ilroad nipple Races To-Day. .The bicycle races at Broad Ripple this afternoon, given by the Indianapolis Cycle Track Association, will be the last meet of the year.

There will be six events on the programme, Including a one mile professional open. All of the event are well filled with entries and each race will have to be run in heats, thus practically giving the spectators about twenty races. The final heats of each event will be paced, which will insure fast time and do away with loafing. Several of the fastest men in Indiana are here and wilt start in most of the races. The one mile professional will be the star event. Tommy llausc and Owen Kimball, two well-known circuit chasers, have entered in this event. The amateur events will also be interesting.

FEDERAL RESTRAINING. ORDER AGAINST TWO COMPANIES. Clover-Leaf Shop Cane Supreme Conrt Requires Western Union to Pay the Tax Penalty. Judge Baker, of the United States District Court, yesterday issued a restraining order against the Clinton Natural Gas and Oil Company and the Indiana Natural and Illuminating Gas Company to prevent them shutting off the supply of gas to the shops of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City Railroad Company at Frankfort. The petition for the injunction was made by R. B. F. Peirce, receiver of the railroad. The receiver stated in the petition that the gas comDanies were refusing to allow the gas connections to be made as they were at the time of the appointment of the receiver and according to the contract between the railroad and the gas companies. The companies are ordered to appear Oct. 14 and show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of court. COUNTY COURTS IDLE. The Lawyers Are Too Busy with Political Affairs Xow. , The judges of the Marion county courts are having a very easy time just now. They scarcely know that vacation is over and that the time, for work has come again. For a while after the courts convened in September there was a little rush of cases for trial and the courts were all kept busy, but as soon as the cases that were pressing were disposed of the time began to lag on the hands of the judges. Tnis is not because there is not much litigation, for there are over one thousand cases now pending in the county courts, but it seems to be because so many of the lawyers are actively engaged in the campaign, which they feel to be as important as attending to their private affairs. About one-half of the time the courts are idle now, and wholly because the attorneys are not ready to go into the trial of the pending cases. This is always true to a certain extent during the fall of a presidential campaign, but this year it seems to be worse than ever. There is scarcely a lawyer of ability in the city who has not given a part of his time for one or the other side in this campaign, and from now until election their time will be more fully occupied in speecnmaking than it has been during the last month. THE VOTES OF PAUPERS. Supreme Court Declines to Throw Light on This Question. The Supreme Court yesterday handed down a decision which was not a decision, on the question of voting the paupers in the Marion county poor farm. The case came up from the Circuit Court in the contest of Groff against Clark, opposing candidates for trustee of Wayne township. For years the Democratic superintendents of the poor farm voted the Inmates in a body for the Democratic ticket, and it was hoped that this case would settle for all time the question of the iegality of such votes. ,The case was turned over to Judge Hackney for decision. The evidence showed that forty-three such votes had been cast, and that Clark had been elected by four votes on the face of the returns. Groff attempted to show that two of these votes had been cast for Clark, but the lower court sustained Clark's objection to admitting the testimony of poll clerks to show this. Upon this error the case went to the Supreme Court, and Judge Hackney, In the opinion, declined to take up the question, because if these two votes had been thrown out the result would not have been affected. INFRINGED ON A PATENT. American Hominy Flake Company I'setl It in This City. A decree was entered in the United States Court yesterday in favor of the Hudnut Company: against the American Hominy Flake Company for infringment of a patent. The Hudnut Company is located at Terre Haute and controls certain( patents for making products of cereals.' Some rights were granted the American Hominy Flake Company to be exercised in Yincennes. It complained that the defendant was using the patent process in its Indianapolis plant. Judge Baker grarted all the prayers of the complainant, ordering the defendant to account to plaintiff for all profits made by the infringment of the patents. i THE SO PER CENT. PENALTY. Supreme Court Says the Western Union Must Pay It. The Supreme Court yesterday decided the Western Union tax penalty case in favor of the State. By refusing to pay its taxes under the tax law Of 1S91 the Western Union incured a penalty of 50 per cent. The State sued for it and recovered a judgment in the Marion County Circuit Court. This judgment was affirmed on the lines laid down by the federal Supreme Court jn the Indiana tax cases. The Charge Didn't Stick. G. P. Robinson was acquitted of the charge of being a confidence man in Police Court yesterday. A large number of young women testified that Robinson proposed to teach them a new system of penmanship, after which he promised to give them employment. None of them had given him money and the charge would not stick. .Robinson calmly inquired if the prosecution would bar him from teaching penmanship in Indiananopis. Says John II. Walker Assaulted Her. Mary C. Evans, who lives at Seventeenth and Meridian streets, filed Suit yesterday against John R. Walker for $5,000. She alleges in her complaint that on Sept. 1,1. 1S95, the defendant entered the. premises of the plaintiff and assaulted her and threw her to the floor, causing 'an injury to her internal organs that caused her great pain and suffering. The complaint is short and does not state the cause of the assault. Responsible for His Bartender. The Appellate Court yesterday affirmed a decision in favor of Adam Johnson rendered by the Lawrence Circuit Court against Thomas Reath, a saloon keeper. Johnson asked damages for the death of his son. who died while under the iniluence of liquor sold him by Heath's bartender. The court holds that Reath was responsible, even if the liquor was sold by his bartender. Sewer Contractors Mor((jase. The Fulmer-Siebert Company yesterday filed an indemnifying mortgage in favor of the Union Trust Company for $10,000. It is understood that this is to secure the trust company for money advanced for building the White river intercepting sewer which this company has been building. AtJadgment Revived. On petition of William Foster, trustee and assignee of the judgment of the United States District Court in favor of Solomon C. Spoor against Henry Crawford in the sum of $12,153.74. which was rendered Dec. 20, 1S94. the judgment was revived yesceiday by order of Judge Baker. Probate Matters. Yesterday in the Probate Court Ambrose P. Stanton was appointed executor of the will of Mary Taylor Mackenzie. Bond, $70,000. James S. Cruse was appointed executor of the will of John J. Smith.

Where property is of a special and peculiar class, special remedies are appropriate to bring about that equality required in assessment and collection of taxes. 3. The power to impose taxes for the supnort of the government, subject to the limitations of the Constitution, belongs to the Legislature and the selection of the subject, the classification thereof and the methods of collection are purely legislative matters. 4. Where one is called upon to pay tax which he thinks is illegal he has two courses to rursue, first, he may resist payment at the hazard of all penalties in case the decision is. against him; second, he may pay the tax under protest, and in case the decision is in his favor he may demand a return of his money. 17758.

Questions at Issue Among Methodists. To the Kditor of'fthe Indianapolis Journal: The -wording of a paragraph in your late notice of the -Aiwattsfaction among the Methodists of Indianapolis is liable to mislead those who are not familiar with the facts in the case;: it seems to lay stress upon the financial phase of the subject. whereas that is quite secondary. As to the matter of one presiding elder's district in the city the chief; object is to promote unity in the aggressive- work of the church as well as in its social life. Though the matter of money Is not' to be despised, it cuts no material figure in the case, except as probably being the only way . of reaching the case within the iower of the laity. It is given out as an apology for this disregard of the known wishes of the laity that there were too many preachers in the conference and a place had to bs thus provided for one who might "otherwise be left without a suitable appointment. The case of the proposed; union . of Mapleton and Hyde Park is of the same character. The Mapleton church was built more than forty years ago as a country church, quite respectable in, its sizes and appointments for a country church Of that period, when there was no way of reaching it from the city except by way of the Michigan or the Broad Ripple road, but now it Is just outside the city, a country church still, both as to its location" and its style, while its members mostly live within the city and desire a new church in keeping with their new residences and more convenient of access. Hyde I'ark is a small new church on Twenty-second street intended only for temporary use until a larger and better church can be built where it will accommodate that rapidly growing part of the city. But the bishop was confronted In this ease also w ith a surplus of preachers, and . the two charges were retained that places might be found to' accommodate them, though in the judgment of nine-tenths of the laity immediately interested and of the entire city the demands of Methodism in the city require a representative church somewhere between these two. And in this identical instance is a pronounced case of the demand for but one district in the city. The bishop at the late conference had to appoint two "loards of church location" for Indianapolis, which have no official bond of union .and no geographical limitation. Thee boards are to consider and determine-all questions relating to the location of new churches, and there at once arises the question which board has the right to interfere in this case. For either to claim the exclusive right would be usurpation, so that neither is likely to act.

and an enterprise so important to the interests of Methodism In the city will probably perish, as many another has from the same cause. But even this phase of the question Is not the worst. These boards as now' constituted are composed in part of preachers and laymen not living in the city and knowing little of anything about the wants of the city, and, even worse than this, if either district assumes the charge of the enterprise the laymen of the other district feel they have no immediate Interest - it. and they will let it severely alone, as has been the case in all such enterprises in past years. The organization known as the City Evangelical Union, though composed of good men, has never yet been able to bridge this chasm, and it is not likely to succeed in the future any better while two boards of church location have the official oversight of it or may claim to have, which will again result in neither doing anything. Whether the remedy of withholding salaries or parts of salaries, as has been suggested as a possibility, will be attempted or not. or 'whether, if attempted, it will reach the case or not I cannot tell. 1 confess that, personally, as an intense Methodist, I have more to fear from the suggested possible alternative, the quiet withdrawal of those who feel they ought to be consulted and their wishes respected in such matters. This may be cowardly on their part, but it has been so common for a half century or more that a writer in this week's Northwestern Christian Advocate estimates that ten have been driven from our church by the polity which wholly ignores the laity as a factor in church crovernment to one that has been attracted from other churches by all that Is peculiar to Methodism polity, doctrine and all. For one, I am inclined to stay and make it so uncomfortable for our rulers that they will, though it be reluctantly, part with some of their cherished prerogatives. Possibly the money argument may be the most effective as a beginning, since every other appeal has failed. T. A. GOODWIN. Indianapolis, Oct. 2. HAS ITS OWN CONTRACT

Mr. Fearons inclosed a draft of the sort of a contract that the Western Union company will be willing to execute. Mr. Curtis-said to a Journal reporter that he had not had time to examine carefully the contract submitted by Mr.Fearons.but that rom a hasty glance at it, he believed that it did not differ materially from the proposition submitted by the city. The contract will be submitted to the Mayor and the Board of Public Works to-day. The city officials believe that there will be no great difficulties in the way of reaching an agreement with the Western Union Telegraph Company, as it had already made arrangements to lower its wires. At least the Central Union Telephone Company has reserved a conduit for the Western Union company in the trench which it is now laying. Relative to the Phoenix Telephone Company, Mr. Curtis says that the fact that the Central Union Telephone Company has made no provisions for the wires of the Phoenix company in the conduits it is laying will not affect the rights of the latter company in any respect. He says that the provision in the contract of the Central Union company providing that the other electric companies shou;d occupy a trench with it was not Intendeed to be mandatory, but was simply inserted so as to permit the companies to lay their conduits together. As a matter of fact, he says it Is doubtful if the Phoenix company could go in the same trench, as the contracts provide that the conduits shall be at least three feet below the surface of the streets. Beside, the Phoenix company would not have the right to lay Its conduits. in such a way as to interfere with those of the other companies. But the Phoenix company is amply protected, as there is a special provision in its contract which guarantees to it the preservation of its rights, no matter what contracts have been made with other companies. The Council committee on contracts and franchises in formed the Phoenix company- that there was some doubt as to whether the contract entered into by it with the Board of Public Works would be indorsed by the Council at this time, as there was a feeling that the city might become involved in patent infringement suits. The company, rather than tiave the franchise defeated in toto, preferred to have the entire matte? remain in statu quo until the determination of a suit by the federal courts which will decide the infringement question. A decision is expected this month. After the case is decided the Council will be urged to consider the franchise. Fears that the companj may be shut out by the action of the Central Union company in covering up its mains are said to be groundless, as the Phoenix company took the precaution to guard against such an emergency. THE CITY NOT LIABLE. A Decision In Its Favor in a Damn ice Suit Yesterday. City Attorney Curtis returned from Franklin yesterday, where he has been engaged sine-? Monday in defending a damage suit against the city brought by Anna Abdon some time ago and taken to Franklin on change of venue. The plaintiff demanded $5,000 damages, alleging that he had sustained personal injuries July 20. 18!5, by falling in a hole on a vacant lot at the corner of Market and New Jersey streets. The case was tried by a jury. Late yesterday afternoon the city attorney received a telegram stating that the jury had returned a special verdict in favor of tho city. In answer to the Interrogatories the jury declared that the city had no notice of the existence of the excavation and was not guilty of negligence. The jury further found that the damages collectable, if any, should not exceed jsioa. Mr. Curtis says that inasmuch as it was held that the city had no notice of the existence of the danger and was not guilty of negligence no damages can be collected. He does not believe that anything further will come of the suit. More Hospital Contracts Let. The Board of Public Works let additional contracts yesterday for work on the new .wing of the City Hospital. J. S. Farrel & Co. bid $2,245 for plumbing the building and got the contract. Other bids were as follows j E. A. Strong, $3.64i: Clifford & Arnold, $3,100; Healy & O'Brien, $2,490; Wilcox & Judd, $2,475: Clarke & Sons. $2,420.

THE TEMPLE CUP SERIES

FIRST GAME WON BY BALTIMORE BY A ONE-SIDED SCORE OF 7 TO 1. Cleveland Made but Five Hits Off Hotter, While YounK Wn Batted for Thirteen. BALTIMORE, Oct. 2. The champions took a long pull and a pull altogether this afternoon and beat their ancient enemies, the "Spiders," in the first game of the "Temple cup" series of 1S9G. They did it with such ease that the- hearts of the Baltimore "fans" are filled to-night with the fondest hopes that the trophy, which has heretofore hung too high for the Orioles to reach, will be at last plucked and brought to Baltimore to keep company with the three championship pennants, of which Manager Hanlon is so proud. The weather was everything that could be desired, but in spite of this fact jess than four thousand, people went out to lnion Park to see the contest. This was a great disappointment to the players, as it was thought that no less than ten thousand would pay their admission fee. The slim attendance is probably attributable to the fact that the price of admission to the bleachers was Increased to 50 cents and that to the grand stand to 75 cents. As it was, however, there were enough spectators on hand to make it intettsting and to applaud with vigor whenever a good play was made. The contest throughout was clean and free from wrangling, although some close decisions were questioned. The crowd was good natured, and cheered Captain Tebeau when he came to the bat. He was compelled to relinquish his place to O'Connor at the beginning of the third Inning because of an injury to his back, which will probably not keep him out of to-morrow's game. McGraw, of the Orioles, also found the work too hard for him, and Quinn took third bag in the last half of the same inning. ' Some notable people saw the game, among them being DeWoif Hopper, "Uncle Nick" Engle, of New York, and "Judge" Culiom, of the samo city. All were enthusiastic Baltimore rooters, and hailed the vlotory with delight. The game, as an exhibition of scientific ball playing, was a good one, abounding in fine fielding and hard hitting, Jennings's error, the only one for the Orioles, was an excusable one, being a low throw to first after a brilliant stop. . and while running at top speed. Those of the vistorsWcre very costly, and all but one of thein resulted in giving runs to the home team. Young was batted freely, while Hoffer pitched a masttrly game, striking out five men, and at times when even a long fly would have meant a run for the visitors. It is probable that Cuppy will pitch one of the remaining games, as he seemed to be able to use his crippled hand freely during the preliminary practice to-day. To-morrow's game will be called at 3 p. m. Score: Baltimore. A.B. R. H. O. A. E.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Drafting by the clubs of the National Baseball League of the players from the minor learues for the season of ls97 began to-day. The selections, however, were much smaller than Is usual on the first day on which the privilege may be exercised and this is attributed by President Young to the probability of private purchases by clubs of the National League during the past few days. The players drafted to-day include the following: C. Startle, of Buffalo, and James S. Lagle. of Houston. Tex., by Boaton, II. H. Burnett and Thomas, of Detroit; Georg NichoU ot Milwaukee, and 1L ilarky, ot

llosgrove. of Portsmouth. by Haiti more. William Bradt. of Portsmouth, Va., has been purchased by the Philadelphia club. Baseball Notes. Arthur Irwin Is looking for un advantageous minor league oining. Chlcapro may draft third baseman Hartman, of the Milwaukee team. The Indianapolis players will go to Cln cinnatt to-morrow for a game there wih the Reds. Two seasons asro one Western l-tKue team finished in the first divison. Iist season there were two and this year there are four. The West is coming up. Although McCreery ranked as one of th heaviest hitters In the iengue, he struck out fifty-nine times. Zlmmer came next with forty-six," Tom Brown with forty-five. Lush forty-four and Cartwright forty. Butler, of the Augustas, who has been secured by the Iouisvllles, played in ninety-two games, all but ten being as catcher. His batting percentage was .237. with a total of ,'jfiit. and his iercentage as catcher was .917. Butler was here last April during the exhibition games. Of the men who played regularly at short In the League Jennings led. with a percentage of .927. Cross had the tine record of .tt!5 for thirty-seven games. George Davis .935 for forty-five games and young Dolnn, of Louisville. .9.12 for forty-four games. Long's percentage was .902. A special to the Philadelphia Inquirer from Paulding. O.. last night brought the information that "Bob" Allen has bcejx tendered the management and captaincy of the Philadelphia club for next season. A brother of Allen's, who Is associated with, him in the Paulding Bank, said that there) was but few dollars difference between the Philadelphia club's offer and the terms named by Allen. The most brilliant pitching done for Haiti-, more this vr;ir vn lh:it rf i-minir fnrhnff His record, short as It is. borders on the phenomenal, and if he can come anywhere near keeping up the pace In a long season that he set this year he will be a great sensation next year. The only time that he was hit at all hard was on Jure 13. when he pitched three innings against Chicago and was hit safely seven times. "With a team" that would stand fourth, fifth or even sixth in the race St. Lout and Louisville would realize a net profit of $100,000 yearly," says Earl Wagner. "One of the beauties of the twelve-club circuit is that a respectable showing is all the fans of each city ask. in the old eight-club circuit of the American Association and league evrj' city was pulling for the pennant, and none was satisfied unless Its club won it." Tebeau was a disgusted man when delayed Thursday by that railroad wreck. He raved nnd fumed over the delnv. Ascording to the famous captain, the Spiders are in good trim for the conflict, althouKh Cuppy's hand Is not yet In good shajwv He has three of his fingers tied up and will not be called upon to pitch In Baltimore unless the Spiders need his assistance. Wilson was booked to pitch against the champions in the first game. Thursdaynight he complained of feeling !ck, but Tebeau thinks the rallroml ride was the cause. Tebeau is confident that his team will win the cup as easily as it did last year, when It captured four out of live games. WARMER AND FAIR. Predictions and Observations of th Local AVeather Bureau.
