The executive committee of the monetary convention yesterday compiled a list of delegates and It was found that almost 3 have been reported up to date. The lists are coming In ho rapidly now that It Is believed that it will reach O before the end of the week. The committee yesterday received a letter from William I. Dodge, a retired merchant and philanthropist of New York, in which he paid:" "I had the pleasure of an interview yesterday with Mr. Smalley. of St. Paul, and I was rather disappointed to find that there was a feeling on the part of some of the delegates from the West that detinitc action should be taken ny the convention and resolutions as to methods and policy be issued to the country. This would be a most serious mistake. It is impossible for it lnrgebody of men during so short a session to thoroughly digest and study great measures. I believe a proper and wise commission could be appointed, with the approval of the convention, which might have authority to get Information frpm experts in special departments. If this commission is Impartial, fair and wise, the results of its study will have the confidence of the publicJ. K. Thompson, of St. Louis, sends to the committee an outline of a very complete plan of currency and banking reform containing twenty-two paragraphs, which include about all the suggestions that have ever been made on the subject.

MAllTIX l)ALTt)X, A IMUSOMIt. ATTEMPTS hllCIDE AT THE JAIL. Sentenced to 1'rUnn for Ilieyele StenllnHT, AlthotiKh nt Time on Parole from Insane HoHpttul. Martin Dalton. a colored man who was arrested some days ago for stealing a bicycle, tried to commit suicide at the jail last night. Dalton was sentenced yesterday afternoon by Judge McCray to two years In the Prison North. Considerable evidence was introduced at the trial to prove that Dalton was insane, and it was even shown that the man Is now on parole from an insane asylum. Dalton was ho much depressed by his sentence that on returning t the Jail from the courtroom he tried to hang himself. While his cellmate was asleep he made a rope of rtte bed clothes and suspended himself from the ceiling. His cellmate awoke in time to cut him down before any Injury resulted. Dalton had written a note to his wife bidding her good-bye and asking her to name their baby Nellie. He said he was going to the bad place, but asked his wife to "call for him" when he should be dead. Later in the evening Dalton tried again to hang himself, but was again frustrated, and u close watch was ordered, kept upon him. . Dalton has been very troublesome since he was paroled from the Insane hospital, having bet n Implicated in several hold-ups and a saloon "scrap" or two. Those who. have seen him at the jail say there is no doubt but that he is crazy. STRUCK BY A M0T0H CAR J. E. HASKELL, WIFE AMI SOX IXJLREI) WHILE IX A CARRIAGE. The I!o-- Collar Hone Broken The Currlaite DruKKed Forty Feet Claimed. Xo "Wuriilngv Wua Given. ColumMa-avenue motor car No. 137, south-bound, struck a. carriage containing J. E. Haskell, wife and eighteen-year-old son Raymond at the corner of Cornell avenue and Christian avenue !ast night, about 7:30 o'clock, and seriously injured the lad, besides severely bruising Mr. and Mrs. Haskell. The boy had his left collar bone broken. Mrs, Haskell's hands are sorely bruised, while Mr. Haskell was the least sufferer of the three. Mr. Haskell was driving his horse west on Christian avenue and says the motorman of the car, J. Iewls, gave no warning with the car gong. There Is no electric light at this crossing, and it is said the electric light a block away on Christian avenue and the one a block away on Cornell avenue could have blinded the driver of tho carriage as well as the motorman. The motorman says he did not see the carriaso till It was too late to stop the car. Young Haskell says he did not see the car till it was within it few feet of the carriage. Tho motorman insists that he rang the gong. The carriage was dragged about forty feet by the car and demolished. The three occupants of the carriage were picked up from ttic debris and Dr. Malloy summoned. The phytlcian suggested that it surgeon be sent for on account of the nature of the case, and the city ambulance removed the Injured people to their home, at SGS Park avenue. Dr. Malloy incidentally added afterwards that his experience had not leen a successful one in collecting fees from the Citizens' Street-railroad Company for aid rendered people injured by the company's cars. This motive, however, did not prompt his action in the case. Edward Troy was the conductor of the car. SHOW WELL MANAGED. lltuidredn Visit the Pet Stock Attraction ut TomllnMon Hall. Tomlinson Hall was visited by hundreds of people yesterday, attracted by the annual exhibit of the Indiana State Poultry and Indiana State Pigeon Associations. There were more exhibitors to be seen about the place yesterday than during the rrevious days of the fIiow. Those who cannot be present during the entire time of the show, try to be on hand to attend the annual meeting, which in this instance occurred last n!ght. The exhibitors talked in the highest praise of the associations which hae the show in charge. They like the management of the show in this city, and especially the hall. Tomlinson Hall is known far and wide as the best place for such a show in the United States. Each of Colonel Boone's exhibitions of his trained lions and other animals yesterday was witnessed by several hundred people. The work of these animals is wonderful and is something so far out of the ordinary that it Is attracting to the show many people who come for that purpose only. The judges yesterday completed the awards In many departments. It Is believtd that the fox chase will come off this afternoon, aj the weather promises to be favorable. None of the exhibits will be removed till Sunday. In the poultry deiftirtment the following were among yesterday's premium winners: Sid Conger, Flat Rock; Johnson & Ward, Irvlngton; Zike & Son.

BY THE DECIMAL SYSTEM

PROPOSED TO REMMI1EII ALL THE STREETS AT THE CITY'S EXPENSE. One Hundred Number to Eaeh Block Sjieeltil Council Meeting, Monday, Will CoiiMlder the Ordinance. There will be a special meeting of the Council next Monday night to consider an ordinance which provide: for renumbering the houses of the city In accordance with what is known as the decimal system, or tho system of numbering with 100 numbers to each block. This is the system that is in vogue in most cities and is considered far superior to the system In use here, whereby each block has only fifty numbers. The ordinance will nWo provide for the numbering of all houses as If the street on which they are located began at either Washington or Meridian street. For instance, the numbers on Talbott avenue would begin with numlr 1601, because the street begins at Sixteenth street. This will enable u person to know by the number the exact distance of a house from Washington or Meridian street. There Is also some talk of providing that the city shall put up all new numbers and pay the expense. Councilman Wolcott and Controller Johnson are partly in favor of this plan, but have not considered it sufficiently to be willing to commit themselves to it. It Is argued in favor of it that it is the only way to insure uniformity of style in the numbers, and also uniformity of location on the houses. Then, too. it is argued with much reason that the owners of property will have the cost to pay, and that it is best for, their interest that the work be done in a way that will entail th5 least expense. By letting the work out by city contract it could undoubtedly be done much cheaper than if each Individual should undertake the work himself. The Council will also be called upon at the special meeting to consider the ordinance to appropriate the amounts of money that remained at the end of the last year unpaid on the contract for the work at the City Hospital and the North Indianapolis engine house. Of the former appropriations there is a, balance of I3.23J.72. and of the latter $1,413. These sums were appropriated for these contracts, but there is no provision of the charter whereby they remain available after th expiration of the fiscal year in which they were appropriated, but like all other appropriations they revert back to the general rund. John Glazier Ile-Elected. The vote for a member of the board of trustees of the firemen's pension fund, which was cast Monday, was canvassed yesterday by the canvassing board, consisting of Mayor Taggart, City Clerk Stuckmeyer and Chief Barrett.

Henry Jones, who killed another negro in Archie Greathouse's saloon, on Indiana avenue, Just above the canal bridge, in the early part of last year, has been condemned to death for another murder, committed since his incarceration in the Prison North. The Indianapolis murder grew out of a crap game in the Greathouse saloon, Jones, upon discovering his companion cheating, turning upon and killing him. Jones escaped, but was afterwards caught at New Albany, brought back to this city, convicted and sentenced to prison for twenty-one years. He took his punishment indifferently, for he was suffering with consumption, which had a secure hold on his constitution. A fellow convict with Jones at the Prison North was Homer Thomas, whom the murderer believed was responsible in part for his arrest. Thomas was fearful of revenge, and obtained a knife, which he carried. Jones, too. secured a like weapon, and on July 5 last, during chapel services. Jones turned on Thomas and stabbed him to death. Jones was tried at South. Bend, on a change of venue, the case being taken up last Monday. Fifteen convicts appeared in court as witnesses. Yesterday morning the jury brought in a verdict of guilty, and for the first time in the history of St. Joseph county a death penalty was recorded. The eondf"Nined man is but thirty years old, is in tVrt; last stages of consumption, and his death on the scaffold will shorten his life but a few months at the most. Thomas was his fourth victim. He had killed two men in Texas. He will be sentenced Monday. ENGINEERING SOCIETY. - Another Organization with a Legislative Mrnnurc.
