They had been to market, and were returning home together at about 10 o’clock. They met a buggy which turned to the left. They also turned'to the left to avoid a collision, and then two men sprang from the buggy and presented revolvers. The fardeners whipped up and tried to esoape ut several shots caused them to stop. The highwaymen then searched them, took what money they had and beat them over the heads for not having more.

The Board of Regents of the state sailors’ and soldiers’ monument has asked for a mandamus compelling State Auditor Daily to pay for the general improvements on the monument instead of having it come out of the monument fund. The first installment of the bill of the architect became due a short time ago. and the auditor drew on the commissioners for the amount In their complaint it is set forth that the auditor had the taxes levied for the purpose of defraying the expenses, and that they are now in the hands of the treasurer. The board also owes money to the Connersville Blower Company for pumps and gas engines, and to the Capital Machine Company, and the court is asked to prevent Auditor Dally from milking further drafts tipor the monument fund to defray these expenses.

FIFTH WARD ENTHUSED MR. HARDING 4?lit 1 !’!> in A\OI D Kit i. \RID \ .DiK\IK. ♦ • Merrill Moores Cos milieu ts on Judge Cox's Method til s< -id; Colored Men to the Workhouse. A telling cam pa -a ii- i>*.-a conducted in the Tilth ward o> at i. pabitc.a candidate for mayor this v •• k L. si tagnt there was a meeting at tlie >.o;nt! of Blackford a;id New York streets. > ui;> l,ow listeners heard the speeches. One noticeable thing was that nearly ali those who gathered befoie liie gnyjy decorated stand to listen to the speeches vs ere voters. The appiause at times ssas very enthusiastic, and me speakers w> ro compered to wait until it ended. Con Kelly was chairman of up- meeting. Speeches were matte bj William N. Harding, Justus U. Adams, Merrill Moores aim Charles P. Benedict. Mr. Adams was the first speaker. In part he said: Tiie people of this country gave so much tiro.;, tneigy and personal attention to me pres.dcniia* oampaign one year ago mat wnen tne election was over and the result announced a reaction look piace and a luaewarm, tired feenng prevailed on every hand, with an evident indisposition on the part of the people to enter lino political controversy or even give a thought to political questions. When such a leeiing exists the omy incentive wnich will awaken an interest m the mind oi the voter is the question of local taxation, which altects us more nearly tnan national issues. The demand tor taxes and improvement assessments directy aiieet tne pocketbooK and are entirely devoid of sentiment. Should the taxpayers ig..ore the issues in this campaign tneir tuture protests w.il be unavailing and should pass unheeded. “With the purpose of hoodwinking the people and evading the real and omy issue lu this election, the recent Democratic city convention which renominated Mr. Taggart, boxed the compass and passed resolutions on every known subject from the Decalogue to Willie Bryan s last screed. In the name of the departed saints i would like to know what connection the wild-eyed utterances of Die Chicago platform hold to the question of a business administration of the affairs of our city, what relation the socalled crime of ’73 bears to the three-cerit fare litigation now pending in the courts, or how it would aid us in securing at an early day the coveted 75-cent gas. I will venture the assertion that no man now living outside the walis of a lunatic asylum can give a vaiid reason for such a belief or show how the free coinage of silver at the ratio of IB to 1 would anect the moral or material interests of the 175.0 W people of our good city. The question uppermost in the minds of all is how to secure the means with which to meet the ever-increasing assessments for street improvements, sewer and park purposes and the never-failing demand for taxes. “In furtherance of this scheme to turn the attention of the voters from the real issue that genial gentleman, John W. Kern, who presided with dignity and grace over the recent Democratic city convention, set the key and issued the notes for the Democrats in tills campaign, gave vent to Ins healed imagination in a fierce denunciation of President McKinley, the great Republican party, and several honored and trusted citizens of this city whom he named for not restoring that prosperity which Mr. Kern and his side partners in misgovernment drove from these shores, denouncing the Dingley bill, singing the praises of the mongrel Wilson bill, which law, during its short existence of a little over three years, entailed a loss upon the Nation of hundreds of millions of dollars and made thousands of our countrymen homeless and breadless. In his tirade against those who failed to restore In a day that which he helped to dispel he should not fall to remember that many a worthy person feels inspired when he is only bhlous; many an earnest advocate imagines he stands for a great cause when in fact his belief is caused by a disordered stomach. “Mr. Kern’s usually placid nature was wrought up to a high state of excitement because the Dingley tariff bill Increased the duty on opium and drugs of like character. We know full well that the followers of Mr. Bryan needed opiates after the election to quiet their disordered imagination and to restore them to their normal condition. But when a party makes the duty on opium an issue in a city campaign they are evidently trying to sidetrack important questions which the people have at heart. "The taxpayers of Indianapolis have far more concern in the question of taxation than they have in the family quarrels of our Democratic friends, as to whether syndicate or outside beer has the strongest pull with the administration since it has been In power, such laws and such only which meet the approval of the mayor and heads of the departments are enforced. A boy whose bicycle lamp has gone out is arrested, thrown into the patrol wagon and sent to the city prison, while hundreds of saloon keepers violate the laws of the State and ordinances of the city 365 days in the year. It is certainly a remarkable coincidence that the hardware and bolts on hundreds of back doors should get out of order and fay to work at the same hour and day. which time is always after 11 o’clock at night and on the Sabbath day.” MR. HARDING SPEAKS. Mr. Harding at the outset of his speech criticised the administration for its unbusinesslike policy of appropriating more money for current expenses than there was in sight. This was done a year ago, and no later than last month when sending the appropriation ordinance for next year’s current expenses to the Council the mayor sent a message showing that the appropriations asked for next year amount to fgtf,034.83, while the estimated revenue amounted to but $960,5143.75, a deficit of $26,000. To make up the deficit the mayor counted on a balance at the end of the year. “Do you believe that Indianapolis can do a thriving business when she exceeds her revenue $25,000 to $35,000 a year by her expenditures?” he asaed. He said that he would like to know what kind of management that could be called which required the administration to depend on any little baianoe at the end of the year when it came to making appropriations for the succeeding year? He showed that the administration in estimating the revenue for next year at the figures given counted on $250,0ut) from miscellaneous sources, while there was but .'220,000 received last, year, as shown by the controller's own figures. The mayor, he said, is compelled to play on his imagination for the other $30,000. Continuing, Mr. Harding said: "The News will say to-morrow evening, ‘Mr. Harding made misrepresentations. He said nothing about the revenue from the suburbs. Ihe suburbs have brought $10,000,000 taxable property into the city, which, at the rate of 60 cents on the dollar, will give a revenue of SOU,OOO, enough to more than pay the extra expense of managing the affairs of the city.' I say that the larger the corporation Is the less the proportionate amount of expense should be in managing it. Not a corporation, neither the gas company, the telephone company nor any other will exist ten years w*hile paying out from $30,000 to $60,000 a year more than its income. If they were to try it they could not issue a bond nor borrow a cent of money.” Mr. Harding also spoke of the telephone Issue, giving facts that have been published before, and then dwelt on the park muddle, using the map he has had prepared showing how Joseph Flack, park assessor, has excluded his own lands, the lands of Sterling K. Holt and other political favorites from the district taxed to raise money to improve the park lands. He a.so showed, t.iKing into consideration the price land is assessed for the purposes of taxation, that its value is about doublt that fixed by the a sessors, and that to take it for park purposes will eost more than ssou,iWU. After having off $50,1*10 tor labor there will be but $300,000 left to buy it with. Tills, Mr. Harding said, and monstrated that they would have to issue more bonds or increase the rate of taxation to c.n ry out their p.ans.

PARK RECORDS HID. He told how rite park records were locked up by Mayor Taggart, and how the people had been denied the right to see them, particularly in the case recently of a young man from C. F. Smith’s office, who was uot permitted to see tfi. m. Merrill Moores followed Mr. Ilardlng in a fifteen ml nut <8 speech. He contrasted the tiaracters of the two men, eulogizing Mr. Harding as a man who had alway livid in this county, niio h and by hi* own efforts attained an honorable position in the world without a blot or stain and without one breath of suspicion ever being raised against him. Th* it he told how tn< mayor cumo here as a boy and obtained employment at i Uinch counter.

To-day, he -aid, nobody knows what Taggart’s political opinions rtatly are; nobody knows whether h“ voted for Palmer end Buckner or Bryan and Sev.all while he was conducting the silver campaign last year. He defied any person to tiie! a corporation that has dealings with the city which is not working for Taggart. Charles P. Benedict was the last speaker. His discussion of the issues of the campaign was closely followed by an interested audience. A West Indianapolis Meeting. The colored Republican voters of the Twelfth ward held a meeting in West Indianapolis at the First Baptist Church last night. J. H. Morton, who was in the chair, introduced Fremont Alford as the first speaker. Mr. Alford, after a few Introductory remarks, warned the voters against the danger of another Democratic administration. “The next City Council,” he said, "will have the granting of important privileges and franchises. Do you want a Council that will grant such privileges and franchises that will be to the city s injury. No. The Council you want is one that w’iil conduct the city s finances far more ably than under the last Democratic regime. All the large corporations are drawn up against the Republican party. But they are hand in glove with iaggart and his coworkers. Do not, I beg of you, elect a man who will cater to the wishes of these corporations. Do not vote for that genial, consistent 16-to-l. free-silver, single-standard, bimetallic, gold bug, Thomas Taggart." The opening words of Gahrlel L. Jones, the next speaker, were: “Every one of you should take a vital interest in the campaign now on. It is your inherited duty to vote the Republican ticket.” After considering finances at some length Mr. Jones spoke of the garbage contract as follows: Mr. McCarthy came here from St. Louis to take charge of the garbage. When complaints were made that the garbage was not being properly collected they began to fine him and kept on doing so till they lined him out of town. Then another company received the contract for the removal of garbage. Has it been removed any better? No. Then why do they not fine this company. Because the friends of the mayor are in it.’ There are four gangs of men working for the city, eighty men in a gang. One of these eighty men is colored. You voted against 16 to 1 in the late presidential campaign; why fiot vote against SO to 1 now?” James Simms, the next speaker, made a short speech, in which he said that these large meetings show that something is wrong and that the people are anxious to know how to right it. “The Democrats have always shown their inability to successfully run anything,” he said. “It is time to cail a halt and adjust the matter. That is done best and quickest by voting for Harding.” "I did not come to save the righteous, but to cause sinners to repent,” declared Gurley Brew’er, the next speaker. “The Democratic party is divided. One w’ing indorses Taggart gold and body and the other silver and soul. The Democrats say,” he continued, “that we show a lack of intelligence when w r e support the Republican party. In spite of that we stand for Republican principles as firmly as the rock of Gibraltar. Take away the revenue and the wineglass and there w’ould be no Democratic negroes. Who,” he asked, “gave the only engine house manned by colored men in the city? Who first gave colored patrolmen? W r ho first gave free schools? The Republicans did all this.”

Colored Men In Fifteenth Ward. The colored Republican voters of the Fifteenth ward held a meeting last night at Hoffman’s Hall, on South Meridian street. The hall was crowded with both white and colored citizens. The doughty “Bill” Flynn, it is said, undertook to recruit a crow’d of colored men for “Hey Tom’s” meeting at Phoenix Garden, but the plan failed to w’ork. Mr. Flynn had a band employed and intended marching the colored men to the Taggart meeting. At 7:30 o’clock the band left Flynn’s saloon wdth a procession consisting of a few W’hite men. Nearly every colored man In the ward went to Huffman’s Hall to hear the speeches made there. Geo. L. Knox, Fred Matson, J. W. Noel, O. V. Royal and Rev. Charles Williams, of the South Calvary Baptist Church, spoke. One of the Sentinel’s Usual Stories. The Republicans of the Fifteenth ward are indignant over a statement of the Sentinel yesterday concerning a meeting held at the home of James Fultz Wednesday night. W. N. Harding is reported as being present “with a keg of beer for free distribution.” The Sentinel then states that as things were getting “hilarious” Mr. Fultz arose and declared he was for Taggart. Republicans who were at the meeting say that Mr. Harding w r as not there, and that Mr. Fultz made so such statement as credited to him. In fact, it is claimed that Mr. Fultz did not speak at all. Noonday Meeting at Atkins’s Plant. The noonday meeting at the E. C. Atkins & Cos. saw plant yesterday was well attended, between 150 and 200 workmen turning out to hear the Republican candidate for mayor and meeting him personally. Mr. Harding talked about twenty minutes on the Issues of the campaign and at the close of the meeting received an ovation. The audience included a number of W’orkmen from the Parry plant near by. Haualivllle Meeting Monday. The Republicans of Brightwood will meet in the town hall Monday evening. Speeches will be made by W. N. Harding, C. A. Bookwaiter, Joseph B. Kealing and H. E. Neg.ey. Cash Hadley, Gurley Brewer and James W. Noel will speak at the corner of Bismark and Grandview streets, in Haughville, Monday evening. Carter Harrison Expected Here. Mavor Carter H. Harrison, of Chicago, will pass through the city next Thursday night on his way to the Nashville exposition. Mayor Harrison will be here for some hours, and will be the guest of Mayor Taggart. Democrats talk of having the Chicago mayor appear at a rally and perhaps make a speech. Will Be No Syndicate Beer There. There will be a Prohibition meeting tonight at Yandes and (new) Seventeenth streets. Samuel J. Wilson, the Prohibition candidate for mayor, and F. G. McWhirter will speak.

League of Sacred Heart Meeting:. The meeting of the League of the Sacred Heart (also called the Apostleship of F’rayer) at St. John’s Church last night was quite a successful one, both from the point of attendance, singing and services in general. The electric lights shone very brightly from the sides of the auditorium and sanctary celling. Rev. F. H. Gavlsk, the spiritual director of the league and rector of St. John’s Church, explained briefly and very entertainingly the workings of the league. There were deposited in the "intention box" placed before the altar of the Sacred Heart 243 “intentions or requests” covering a whole range of subjects, needs or special interests of members asked for themselves and those who are near and dear to them. The work of the league is an Interesting one; its effects are readily set-n in the increased fervor of tit. John's parishioners; their attendance at all the services of the church and interest manifested in church work in general. The special “Intention" for the month of October recommended by the Holy Father Leo XIII Is “The Religious Instruction in Our Schools." The league numbers (taken from the last census) over 21,000,000 members throughout the world. Rev. F. H. Gavisk evinced pleasure at th* Size of the audience that greeted him.

HE HAD A FULL HOUSE ♦ R. R. SHIEL GREETED BY A BIG CROWD AT MASONIC HALL. + People Caine to Be Amused and Laughed at Pathetic Points—Promised Revelations Not New. Standing room was at a premium at Masonic Hull last night The announcement of “Rhody” Shlel that he vrould deliver the “hottest” speech ever heard in the city and drive several prominent citizens out of town, attracted a great many curious people and every seat w r as occupied and the aisles half filled when he began at 8 o’clock. The audience was as strange a study as the speaker. It was composed almost entirely of men, though there were a lew women present. It was not confined to any party. Republicans, Democrats and Populists were there and rich and poor elbowed each other for room. A few of them were in sympathy with the speaker, others were coldly curious, but the great mass had come to be amused, and laughed hilariously at everything, no less when Shiel was saying something pathethic than when ha was raging at rings and things. Mr. Shiel had prepared a typewritten speech, but did not stick to his text. Though he declared time and again that he was never cooler in his life, he appeared to be laboring under the greatest mental excitement and was so incoherent that his line of thought could only be followed with the greatest difficulty. He did not follow it himself and occasionally remarked that he was making a rambling speech, but declared that t w r as “hot stuff.” If the crowd went in the expectation of hearing any revelations about the topics he had promised to talk upon, it was disappointed, for what he said was the same story he has been telling on the streets for the last six months, only he was even more indefinite in his charges than he has been in conversation. For the first hour he talked about himself, giving his family history and his own rise to wealth. The crowd cheered wildly at the start when he held up a bottle and explained that it contained good liquor to stimulate him as he went along. His recital of his family history was frequently interpolated with sudden cries that “that feller’s got to git out o' town.” After he had finished with his personal story it developed that the man he was talking about driving out of town was Charles R. Williams, editor of the News, and he devoted the next hour to five criticisms of him and said he had seven more. It developed that all these criticisms were directed against the editorial and business policy of the paper. There were no personal charges against the editor, and the most serious charge that he made was that a communication he had written had been garbled and published over his signature. Passing from the editor of the News he devoted a very brief portion of his speech to an assertion that John P. Frenzel and Allen M. Fletcher were joint manipulators of a ring to control the city, how they had organized the City Railway Company, and how he had taken command of the Citizens’ Company forces in tha Legislature. By 9:30 o’clock the crowd had grown, weary of laughing, and, disappointed in the expectation of some salty revelations, about twothirds of the people left. Shiel noticed the movement and announced that he* would cut short his speech. This stopped the exodus, and the rest of the people heard him out

A GROTESQUE AFFAIR. Such, in brief, was the meeting, but this outline gives little idea of the grotesqueness of the affair, or the character of the speech. Shiel had hired the hall, and had employed a brass band to play In front while the crowd was gathering. Tlio popular song, “A Hot Time in the Old Town To-night.” seems to have caught his w andering fancy, and Its title was painted upon both sides of the wagon he has had advertising his meeting for several days. At the most unexpected points in his rambling talk he would burst forth “Hot time in the old town!” or “Hot stuff in the old time!” or “Hot town in the old stuff!” or whatever version of the thought first came to his tongue. He was wdldly cheered when he came upon the platform with his two little boys. There was no chairman to introduce him. He sat at the table and sorted his papers, while the Marion Glee Club sang a version of the “hot time” written for the occasion. ”1 wish you’d come up hyur on the stand,” cried Mr. Shiel, springing to his feet when the club had finished, addressing those standing in the rear of the hall. "They ain’t one of ye will go home before 12 o’clock if my voice holds out! Hot stuff in the old time!” This was greeted with cheers and laughter, and he began with the text of his speech, but followed it only for a paragraph. He stopped to think and took from his pocket a bottle. The crowd yelled with delight, and he held it up. “Know w’hat that is?” he asked. “That’s good liquor!” (Cheers.) “I want it to stimulate me as I go along and help my voice. Now I got twelve points here. No. 1 is—he’s got to git out o’ town! He can’t stay in my town an’ be my partner. “I’m in command of the people!” he cried, walking around the table and suddenly facing the audience. “No man’s party, no company, no ring, no newspaper. Jist Rhody Shiel!” Then he again caught the thread of his text and told his audience that on one. evening the News had said he was pushing himself upon the committee, and the next evening that the committee was pushing him forw’ard. It must have lied one time or the other, and the truth w r as that it had lied both times, w’as the sentiment Re expressed. “I’m goin’ to let every man in town bow his head in submission to me an’ apologize but two, an’ I’ll forgive ’em all but two,” he rambled on. “One of these is Charlie Williams an’ the other is my family physician. He ain’t now', but he whs. Family away. He give me medicine. He give me meuicine. I got another doctor now. An’ when I was gittin’ out of bed he signed a petition to have me expelled from the Columbia Club! Charlie Williams! He’s got to git out o’ town! There’s three other families here and he’s got to git out. because the other families’s got the records. I’m one o’ them lamilies. (Yells from the crowd.) I got a bigger record than any family in this town. W”y. you don’t know who I am. I’m an inbred fightin’ family! He calls me the right honorable. Mebbe he’s read this book.” And he held up a book. “He said I w r as nobody. Here some o’ you. I can’t read very well. Got one eye shot out in the war. Hot time in the old town! Anybody hyur that kin read?” A PATHETIC SIGHT. It is needless to remark that his strange “breaks” were punctuated with yells and cheer from the pitiless crowd. He rambled on telling of his ancestors and his own experiences for an hour in this same startling fashion, and'then went to the rest of his speech. Toward the end he discussed Candidate Smith briefly, ending with: “Charlie Smith, in the name o’ God, don’t you know* no politics?” He made frequent allusions to his church and told how he had brought several people to time by telling them that if they did not do as he believed to be right, they could never get absolution for their sins. When he began his peroration his voice sank to a pathetic whisper that sent the crowd into convulsions. “I may fall to-night before I git home,” he said solemnlv “I may fall any time at the hand of my hired assassin! I may have my house burned over me! But I want you that live to know who done it!” And turning tragically to his boys. “God bless you, little rm*n, I wan’t you to take your old father's place an’ be honest!” Probably the most unique feature of the whole thing was when Shiel. toward the close of his speech, suddenly turned to the stenographers he had employed to take his speech and demanded that he be sworn to an immaterial statement he was making. “Mebbe they can git roe for false sweating.” he said. “Let ’em try it! There ain't a jury nowhere that would believe I wasn't tellin’ the truth.” The stenographer, who was a notary public, administered the oath and the crowd applauded the novel feature so generously that he repeated the performance, just as an actor responds to art encore.

Permitted to Enter l T nder Guise of “Merchants and Student*.’’ SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. I.—About four hundred Chinese laborers have been landed in this city during the last five months and have been given free entry in the guise of “merchants and students.” They are now working in the orchards in various parts of the State, in the salmon canneries on the Columbia river in dozens of small Chinatown factories of various kinds. Yesterday forty-one of them were allowed to pass through the custom house and an additional hundred went into quarantine on Wednesday night from the steamer Doric and axe expected to be released to-day. These laborers have nearly all come In on certificates issued in Macao, a dependency of Portugal, and which, under an opinion of the attorney general of the United States, delivered May 20, IS9<. must be recognized as prima facie evidence of the right of their bearers to land. The opinion was, in effect, that the British registrar general at Hong Kong, the commissioner of customs at Canton, and the officers of any other foreign country possessing dependencies in China should be recognized as competent to sign such documents. No identification at this port is called for; no previous residence here is called for and, in short, it seems as though these people have been found to successfully evade the Chinese registration acts.
