CHANCE FOR LOWER BIDS WORKS 110 AH D REFUSES TO TAKE IT IN WALHT-ST. IMPROVEMENT. Contract Awarded to One of Old Asphalt Cumpanlrs Over Protest of the Property Owners. Mayor Taggart and the Board of Public Works are being pretty severely criticised for not rejecting bids for asphalting Walnut street submitted by the old paving companies. A petition asking the board to pursue this course, signed by the interested property owners, was submitted to the board yesterday. W. W. Spencer was spokesman for the parties. He claimed that there had been absolutely no competition, as the three old companies were in reality working under a copartnership. A saving of $2,000 to the property owners could be made, he said, if the board readvertised. The board ignored the petition and aw'arded the contract to the Western Paving and Supply Company, which is to receive $4 a lineal foot, each side of the street, for paving Walnut, from Pennsylvania to Fort Wayne avenue, and $4.14 a foot for the remaining section extending to Massachusetts avenue. Walnut street was ordered paved over remonstrances by the Council. This fact furnished the mayor and board with an excuse for not rejecting the bids yesterday. Fear was expressed that to readvertise would invalidate the ordinance and it was considered extremely improbable that the Council would pass another. Mayor Taggart said that if there was any assurance that the property owners wouid save $2,000 he would favor the rejection of the bids, but the mere statement was not sufficient. “We have secured the approval of the Council and I am fearful if you rescind the action the improvement will be defeated " said he. Section 61 of the charter seems to give the board the right to reject bids and readvertise, as it says that the board shall “if a satisfactory bid be received,” let such contract to the lowest and best bidder. It lies within the province of the board to determine whither any or ail the bids are satisfactory. If they are so considered it then appears to be mandatory on the board to let the contract "to the lowest and best bidder.” The section quoted also makes it mandatory to reject bids when collusion is shown between bidders. W. W. Spencer declared yesterday morning that there w’as not a sembience of competition in the asphalt bidding; that the ligurcs arc all made by the same man and different stn ets allotted to separate companies. He said that there is no more dlfterenee than if three men in partnership were bidding. S. H. Shorter, of the Western Paving and Supply Company, overheard the remark. He inquired if Mr. Spencer was joking. The latter rt piled that he was in earnest, as he Believed the assertion to be true. Mr. Shorter emphatically denied that there was any such collusion as Mr. Sptncer intimated existed. After awarding th* Walnut-street contract to the Western raving and Supply Company the board directed City Engineer Jeup to alter the standard specifications so that companies which have been excluded might be allowed to compete. The specifications say that material to be used shall bo Trinidad or Bermudez asphalt or an usDhalt of equal or superior quality, as deter-

mined by the engineer and board. Formulas are given for other mixtures, but they do not include the mixture proposed to be used by the Germo-Kentucky Rock Asphalt Company. This company proposes to use a mixture of Kentucky rocK asphalt and German asphalt. City Engineer Jeup says that much pavement of this material has been laid in Buffalo. N. Y. After six years' trial it has been found satisfactory, he says. Kentucky asphalt alone would not be fit to use, Mr. Jeup thinks, but by mixing it with German rock it is all right. The new company claims that it wall bid if given an opportunity by the administration. It claims the old companies have a monopoly on the asphalts now allowed by the board and engineer. Unless the new company is underbid and chased from the field bv the older companies or becomes “absorbed" by them, it looks as if less money would be paid by Indianapolis property owners for improving streets. A good many people are wondering what has become of the creosotcd blocks. year a plant for creosoting blocks was established in this city at great cost. It was generally understood that much of that sort of pavement would be put down this year. Ho far only three or four blocks have been paved with wood. • although when several miles of creosoted blocks were laid last year the board thought that the whole question of street paving had been solved and that this material was cheaper and far better than anything any other administration had used. where: competition is sharp. Rills on Street Improvement* Other than A*phalt. Competition on street improvements other than asphalt is very sharp. Several contracts for cement sidewaiks were let yesterday in addition to the Walnut-street contracts, in each case to the lowest of a large number of bidders. Following is a list of contracts that were let: For cementing the west sidewalk of Pennsylvania street, from Ohio street to the first alloy south, to Mathes & Dunn, at $1.87 a lineal foot. For cementing the north sidewalk ot Ohio street, from Capitol avenue 344 Vs f eet east, to Mathes & Dunn, at sl.lO. For cementing the south sidewalk of Ohio street, from Pennsylvania to Meridian street, to Mathes & Dunn, at $1.09. For cementing the sidewalks of Cornell avenue, from Twenty-eighth to Twentyninth street, to Mathes & Dunn, at 59 cents. For cement walks on Detroit avenue, from Southeastern averfue to Bates street, to Mathes & Dunn, at 48 cents. For cement walks on the west side of Pennsylvania street, from Sixteenth to Eighteenth street, to Mathes & Dunn, at 71 cents. , „ For graveling the first alley east of Warren street, from Southeastern avenue to Bates street, to Daniel Foley, at 25 cents. For gravel roadway, cement walks and stone curbs on Annetta street, from Tvven-tv-tifth street to Thirtieth street, to Gansberg & Roney, at $2. stratified curb and bowldered gutters to be put in.

For gravel roadway, cement walks and stone curbs on Richland street, from Astor street to New York street, to Joseph K. Cooper, at $1.51. stratified curb to be used. For gravel roadway, brick walks and stone curbs on Wallace street, from Washington street 55a feet north, to Gansberg tk. Roney, at $1.04, stratified curb to be used. Park Board Assessments. There was a conference between the Board of Park Commissioners and the assessors appointed by the Circuit Court yesterday with reference to the advertisement of benefits and damages that are to be assessed against lands that will be condemned for park purposes. It was stated at the board’s office that nothing of public interest was being done and that arrangements were being made for the publications, the first of which will probably appear Wednesday or Thursday of this week. J. Clyde Power, engineer of the park board, has returned from Eouisville. where he attended a meeting of park officials and took part in the organization of the National Park and Outdoor Art Association. Representatives of park commissioners in Brooklyn. N. Y.. Brookline, Mass., Baltimore, Boston, Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland, 0.. Indianapolis, Kansas City. Minneapolis, St. Louis, St. Paul. Toledo, Wilmington, New Orleans, Omaha and a number of smaller places were there. Mr. Power says that the conference was attended by about fifty' delegates. The next annual meting is to be held in Minneapolis June 22, 1898.

Municipal Notes. Charles Krauss is to drill a driven well on Washington street betw r een Senate avenue and Missouri street at 70 cents a foot. A petition was filed for the vacation of the second alley north of Eleventh street, from Ash to Bellefontaine street. It was referred to the city engineer for investigation. Final action was taken for a wooden block pavement on Tenth street, from Pennsylvania to Delaware street. No remonstrances were filed against this improvement. Joseph Staliard offered to remove the old stationhouse for $175. A few days ago the board received two propositions; one for SSOO, and the other $579. Stallard's proposition wars accepted. The work is to be completed within three weeks. Several days ago bids were received for cement w’alks on Walnut street, from Alabama to East street. The contract was awarded to Frank Kennington yesterday at 65 cents for five-foot walks, 97 cents for three-foot approaches and 10 cents for sodding. His bid was the lowest of several in the aggregate. CITY NEWS NOTES. The May festival directors will not meet until Thursday evening to audit the festival bills. Theophilus R. Millison, in a communication. says the charge of adultery has been withdrawn in the divorce suit against him. Early yesterday morning a shed in the rear of 549 East Washington street, belonging to George Huffman, was destroyed by fire. The loss was about SIOO. The Newsboys’ Band of Grand Rapids, Mich., will give a concert at Tomlinson Hall next Friday evening. It will be for the benefit of the Boys’ Club. There will be a meeting in Bellefontaine Hall, on Massachusetts avenue, this evening of those interested in securing parks for the northeast end of the city. A copy was received at the Governor’s office yesterday of the order issued by Adjutant General Ruggles, ordering lieutenant W. T. May to report to the Governor May 30 to relieve Lieutenant M. Defrees. Thomas McGinty, who has been conducting a barber shop at McCarty street and Capitol avenue, died yesterday afternoon of consumption at his home, No. 157 West McCarty street. He was twenty-two years old and unmarried. Ellen Sheehan’s Death. Deputy Coroner Richardson investigated the case of the death of Ellen Sheehan, fifteen years old, who lived at 257 Bates street. He found that her death was due to tuberculosis. She had been attending school until recently. Death from this disease, which was neridltary in her case, came rapidiy after the first illness. She was a daughter of the late Timothy Sheehan, a well-known contractor. Some peculiar errors in the spelling of the death return made by the attending physician, Dr. Jordan. who ascribed death as being due to “lung trouble.” led to the investigation. School Election Candida tea. It appears that for some reason not much interest Is being taken in the approaching school election, when commissioners are to he elected in four districts. Albert Baker yesterday consented to run in the Eleventh district, after learning that John B. McNeely is not a candidate for re-election. There has been some talk of J. P. O’Meara in this connection. Henry Bennett has been announced as a candidate in the Tenth district. C. E. Thornton notified a committee from the district that he could not make the race to succeed H. C. Hendrickson.

Barnes Did Not Allow Mr. Watkins’s l’layers to Bunch. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MILWAUKEE, Wis., May 24.—Indianapolis dropped back to third place to-day and Milwaukee advanced to second position in the Western League race, because the Brewers played better ball than their opponents and Barnes kept the hits more widely' scattered. Phenomenal catches were made in the outfield by Flynn and McFarland, and the infield work of Lewee, Daiy and Myers was brilliant. A better game has seldom been witnessed here, and so many pretty plays were made on both sides that it would be difficult to say which team is the best, though the Milwaukees used better judgment, and, in team work, indicated a closer approach to championship form than Indianapolis exhibited. The visitors did not score until the sixth inning, when a single by Motz, who stole second, followed by Stewart’s three-bagger to left field gave them a run. Milwaukee scored in the first inning, Kahoe’s error. Weaver’s sacrifice and Myers's hit doing the business. In the fourth a play to put out Speer at second and two hits by Weaver and Myers gave them their second tally, and their last run was made by Stafford, who hit over the left-field fence, and completed the circuit of the bases.

The Detroit team is by far the weakest aggregation that has played in Milwaukee this season, while Columbus looks the strongest. With two strong pitchers the Senators would be dangerous competitors. —Milwaukee Sentinel. New Castle tried four pitchers without success Sunday in the game with Kennard. The score was 29 to 10. Batteries—For Kennard, Lacy, George and George: for New’ Castle, Councellor, Denny, Armstrong, Schiedtueck and Adams. Manager Loftus has signed Pitcher Mcfarland, released last Thursday by Kansas City, and expects to pitch him in the first game against Minneapolis to-day. Loftus is picking up the cast-off pitchers of other clubs in the Western League and utilizing them to advantage. Steinfeldt has a great wing and can throw the ball to first base about as fast as any man in the league, says Tommy Andrew’s, but he has not the experience and will make breaks until he becomes more seasoned. He is batting - well and will make a valuable man before long.—Detroit Tribune. “There is nothing that breaks a pitcher up so quick,” says Sam Durigan. “as to have a couple of players get two-baggers on pop-up fiies to the outfield just at the foul lines. They seem to take the heart out of the twirlers. Often I have seen good pitchers go to pieces from nothing more than a few hits of that kind.” McCarthy was on the score cards at Milwaukee yesterday and Flynn was slated to cover third. It must have been too cold for Mac to take chances, for Kahoe was put at third and Flynn played left. Today's rest should put Gray in shape to play, unless his hand was badly hurt by that pitched ball the other day. Shortstop Corcoran, otherwise known as “Monk,” has been signed by th Milwaukee club and will be used as a utility player, his ability as an infielder qualifying him to play in almost any position. Last season he played at short in thirty-eight games on the Detroit team before he was injured and retired to Mt. Clemens, where lie has been ever since. Where would Indianapolis be if its team had lost six of its best men by the draft last year? Had Motz, McCarthy, Phillips, Goar and Stewart been taken away there would have been a big wall from Indiana. Thanks to their connection with Cincinnati, the Hoosiers have practically the same team they had in 1895, when the pennant was won. no man having been let out unless a better one wis secured in

his place. It is rank injustice to dismember a team in the manner in which the Millers have been cut up. But never mind, all the managers and their camp followers will have more than one euse of heart disease before the Millers get through with them —Minneapolis Journal. There is no game scheduled at Milwaukee to-day, and both teams will rest up. though the Brew r ers do not appear to need much rest. With Gray and McCarthy out of it, Watkins Is probably glad to take a day off. The battle will be renewed tomorrow’, and Indianapolis is due to give Connie Mack’s men a good beating. The game at the Grand to-morrow will begin at 3:30 and ladies will be admitted free, it being their especial day. There was little cr no opportunity for the rooters to get in their work yesterday at the Grand. Watkins's men could not hit Fred Barnes. They have always had trouble with this clever little pitcher, who is certainly one of the best in the Western League. Phillips pitched good ball, and would have landed his game had there been any sort of hitting behind him. There will be plenty of chances to get even, however, as Indianapolis plays at Milwaukee tomorrow, Thursday andFriday. ONLY ONE RUN EARNED — REDS GOT IT, BUT LOST THE GAME TO THE: TROLLEY DODGERS.

FAILED TO SHOW A FOUL CAR SOX CITY PRIZE FIGHT REPRODUCED BY THE VEKISCOPE. Details of the First Exhibition of the Pictures—How Fitzsimmons Whipped Corbett. NEW YORK. May 24.—The Sun thus describes the first exhibition of the veriscope pictures: If Jim Corbett, as he has claimed all along, had the advantage in his fight at Carson with Bob Fitzsimmons until the Australian dropped him with a body blowin the fourteenth round, the veriscope pictures as seen by a great crowd at the Academy of Music Saturday night do not show such a condition of affairs. And when the big audience filed out into the street last night after seeing the reproduction the general opinion was that Fitzsimmons proved the better pugilist and won fairly. Barring a slight dickering and a change of light now and then, the pictures are remarkably good. The incidents before, during and after the big fight are portrayed true to life, and give to spectators an accurate idea of what took place in the ring. The first pictures thrown upon the canvas show the entrance of Corbett and Fitzsimmons, together with their trainers, to the ring. In the foreground can be distinctly seen the forms of William Muldoon, Lou Houseman and Jimmy Colville, the time keepers. Corbett’s corner is at the right-hand side, and every move of his seconds can, be plainly seen. Fitz’s chair is diagonally opposite and also in view ot everybody. For live minutes the principals, clad in long bathrobes, can be seen walking up and down on opposite sides of the ring. “Look how cold-blooded Fits is,” remarked a sport in the orchestra. “That’s right,” rejoined his companion. “He’s walking up and down there as if taking a constitutional?” Fitz s stride is deliberate, and he carries his arms folded behind his back. Corbett, on the other hand, keeps talking apparently to somebody over the ropes. He also appears to be anxious for the fight to begin. Before the first bell sounds, Jim and Bob walk in front of the veriscope and bow. Both are smiling good naturedly. Fitz’s refusal to shake hands is plain enough. Then the battle begins. “Now we’ll see Corbett make a monkey of Bob,” exclaimed a well-known bookmaker, who still believes that Jim should have won. “Everybody says that Jim had the fight won until he got that unlucky punch in the stomach,” added another enthusiast. But the pictures do not lie. To the surprise of the crowd Fitz began forcing matters, and Corbett for the first three rounds was seen to be on the defensive. That is. he skipped around the ring, avoiding Bob’s heavy blows and putting in counters on the Cornishman’s face. If anything, Fitz had the better of all these rounds, according to the pictures. “Why don’t you hit him. Jim!” yelled a man, as the fourth round began. As if acting on the advice, Corbett began to fight fiercely. Fitz responded heavily and very fast work resulted. The round seemed in Jim’s favor. Corbett also had the fifth round, but it was not a cake walk by any means, and Fitzsimmons showed no sign of distress except from a bleeding iip. Everybody was anxious to see the sixth round, for Corbett has made many claims that he was deprived of the verdict by reason of a slow count. The picture shows Corbett forcing matters and Fitz apparently blocking swings and clinching. In a sort of clinch near the further side of the ring Fitz is suddenly seen to slip on his knees, his arms around Corbett’s legs. As Siler begins to count off the seconds, he pushes Corbett away. Fitzsimmons is not prone on the floor, but seems to be coolly waiting for a chance to get up. He is far from being groggy, anti when he does stand up, be begins to fight back strongly. When Fitz walks to his corner he is by no means in trouble.

During the next three rounds Corbett appeared to be growing tired. He dropped his guard repeatedly and is almost constantly on the defensive. Fitzsimmons, on the other hand, seems to be gaining strength, and continues to force matters with persistency. “Corbett braced up in that round, didn’t he?” remarked the bookmaker when the tenth had ended. The next two rounds showed Fitz bcring in and Jim tiring. In the thirteenth the blood from Fitz's lip can be easily seen as it is spread all over his face. But Bob’s blows are twice us heavy as the Californian’s. It is easy to see that the Cornishman is slowly wearing his opponent out. “This is the fourteenth round!” said the young man who had been describing points of interest in the pictures. “Good-bye, Jim!” yelled a Fitzsimmons enthusiast away up in the gallery, and the crowd burst out laughing. “Watch, now, for that foul blow!” was the remark heard on all sides, because of alleged pictures which have been published recently. “There he goes!” was the cry as r itz finally put his terrific left into the pit of Jim’s stomach. As Corbett began to sink Bob made another motion to hit him with his left, but whether he landed it or not nobody could tell, for the pictures did not show it. A , “Where’s the foul? shouted the crowd. “Fake!” howled many persons, but they W ere quickly silenced by the picture of Corbett on his hands and knees, his face horrible with agony. As he crawled almost helplessly toward the ropes, and away from the place where his conqueror stood. Fitz never moved toward him. The referee can be seen counting the ex-champion out, and then Fitz dunces a jig. But that is not the end. The films do some moi*o traveling, and take in trie incident where Corbett rushes across the ring in frenzy, and strikes Fitz as he is in the corner. This forgetfulness on the part of Corbett was received with hisses and cat calls. Then a stentorian voice from the gallery yelled: , ~, . “Three cheers for Fitzsimmons! and everybody ioined in. The squeaky machine, which had created all this excitement, then stopped and the crowd jwent out. Stopped by Police. LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 24.-A ten-round go here to-night between Jim Watts, colored, of Louisville, and Peter Peterson, the “Terrible Swede,” of Chicago, was stopped at the end of the fifth round by the police, who declared it too brutal. In the first round Watts got first blood and two knockdowns to his credit, while Petersen could not land on his shifty opponent. In the succeeding four rounds Petersen, always on the defensive, was repeatedly knocked down and as often went down without being hit. generally staying the limit to avoid punishment. Watts fought viciously from start to finish. After the fifth round the chief of iK)lice interfered. Referee Frank McComb gave the decision to Watts. Wreatler Malone Defeated ly .lenUln*. CLEVELAND, May 24.—Tom Jenkins, of this city, to-night defeated W. L. Malone, of Chicago, the heavy-weight champion wrestler of the Northwest. The match was best two falls in three. Jenkins won the first fall in three and a half minutes and the second in three minutes. Jenkins leaves for Chicago to-night to seek a match with “Farmer” Burns. Raedy Knocked Out by Ryan. ROCHESTER, N. Y., May 24.—Tommy Ryan, of Syracuse, knocked out Pat Raedy, of Washington, in six rounds before the Rienzi Athletic Club to-night. 'The bout was a hot one while it lasted. In the sixth Rvan simply smothered h>s opponent, sending rights and lefts all over the head and face. Raedy went down tnree times, and the third time his seconds threw up the sponge. A HYDROCYCLE ON CANAL. It. M. Biirwine Rides on It ns I’ar as llroild Ripple. R. M. Barwise, superintendent of the repair department of the Indiana Bicycle Company, has invented a hydrocycle which, by experiment, has proved to be successful. It was seen on the canal Sunday by many cyclers who rode out on the cycle path. The machine is simple enough. It Is a boat, propelled by bicycle power. Two air tanks, shaped like a cigar, lie side by side in the water. They are twelve feet long. Mounted between them is a frame like a bicycle. Connected with the handle bars is the rudder, and the power is communicated to a screw by means of an ordinary crank shaft and sprockets. The hydrocycle was launched at St. Clair street, and Mr. Barwise rode upon it to Broad Ripple. The machine, as at present constructed, is capable of about nine mile? an hour. Mr. Barwise expects to get fifteen miles an hour out of it before he is done experl-

The following article, taken from an English cycle trade paper, may explain in some degree the desire of the British “tube king,” Pikingtcn, to establish an international tubing trust, which was partially accomplished last week: "Our recently developed exports in cycle tubes seem to be going the way of the tinplate industry. In 18!>5 the exports in bicycle tubes to the United States were estimated to average at a value of £50,000 every three months. At the present day the export of tubes is practioally extinguished. The reason is not far to seek. Seeing the opening for t.;em, with characteristic promptitude the American manufacturers set about making tubes for themselves. “The cycle industry in the States, w'hieh had hardly an existence in 1885, has lately made a prodigious advance a and is now probably carried on upon a larger scale than that of this country itself.” It is evident that the Englishmen saw an important industry getting away from them. They saw that the Americans were destined to at least control the business in America unless something were done. A slice of the trade was better than none at all, and hence the combination between the tubing taetories of the Midlands and those of Elwood and Greenevllle, Pa. When the Englishmen stop to consider that nearly a half million dollars’ worth of manufactured bicycles are exported from the United States each month and that England gets more than any other two countries they will understand that they have good reason to begin to protect their home trade.

CHICAGO, May 24.—An explosion, evidently caused by chemicals used in the preparation of pepsin, shattered the upper part of Armour Co.’s pepsin factory, at Forty-third street and Central avenue, at 7:40 o'clock to-night, and the blaze which followed practically destroyed the building and machinery, together with the stock, causing a loss of $75,000. The building was a six-story brick structure and was completed less than six weeks ago. What caused the explosion is not known, hut the denotation was terrific and the shock was heard a mile away.
