The Indiana Institute for the Education of the Deaf opened yesterday. There will bo several changes in the faculty for the ensuing year, some of the teachers having left to accept positions elsewhere. The Misses Booth, of Columbus, Elizabeth Ray, of the city, and Mr. Read, of Jacksonville, 111-, will fill these vacancies. The Misses Warburton, Smith and Howard will also be enrolled on the faculty as cadet teachers. These young ladles are from the Indianapolis Kindergarten and Primary Normal Training School, and will take a postgraduate course in that institution in addition to their teaching at the asylum. Several additions have been added to the different buildings. Anew ironing room has been built to the laundry, with SI,OOO worth of new ironing machines, anew boiler has been put in the engine house for the use of the electric power plant. A forty by eighty gymnasium has also been built. All of the buildings hate been repainted. This is done yearly in order that there may be no cause for disease. As an additional safeguard. Superintendent Johnson has all pupils bring a certificate from '.heir doctor saying that they have not been exposed to any contagious disease twenty days previous to their entering school. The outcome of all these precautions is that there is hardly any sickness during the school year. The pupils eater at the age of seven and continue from five to thirteen years. Part of them work in the printing department', which is equipped with a cylinder and job press, part in the shoe and leather room and the rest In the cabinet shop and lathe room, which has fifteen lathes ranging in sizes. Kitchen, police and general work Is assigned to otheis. The pupils publish weekly a five-column folio sheet entitled the Silent Hoosier, which is sent all over the United States and Canada. They also have .‘literary societies and athletic teams. Cnrroti County Settle*. After a disagreement for over two years between the State and the county of Carroll over a tax settlement, a compromise was reached yesterday by which the State* is to receive SIO,OOO. The trouble originated In the State trying to put on the tax duplicate a lot of sequestered property belonging to N. k W. Bowen, Delphi. After the property was by the State the heirs of the pßowen estate made a settlement with the county, paying it a lump of money, without admitting any back taxes to be due. It was noted that the state's interests were not protected by this arrangement and the attorney general took the case in hand arid ha* been pushing a suit to compel the heirs to settle with the State. Yesterday the proposition to compromise was deliberated b> iht tax commissioner* and, alter a long dMcunsion, was accepted. fee tae new Sideboard*.—Wul L. Elder.

AN ADDITIONAL CHAPTER C. A. BOOKWALTER C ONTINUES THE STORY OF THE PARK DEAL. * Republican Speaker* at Drift littvooil l ust .Vlgti t— Meeting ut Ha ugli ville —Harding Club Formed. An enthusiastic and well-attended meeting was held by the Republicans of Brighttvood at the town hall, on Station street, last night. Speeches were made by Messrs. W. N. Harding, C. A. Bookwalter, Joseph B. Kealing and H. E. Negiey. The hall was filled with an attentive and appreciEu tive audience numbering between four and five hundred people. Not only were all the available chairs taken, but the standing room was occupied. At intervals the enthusiasm of those in attendance burst forth in a round of rousing cheers. The Marion Glee Club, which came in about 9 o’clock and rendered several campaign songs, was liberally applauded. J. J. Vaidenaire, acting as chairman of the meeting, Introduced Joseph B. Kealing. In part, Mr. Kealing said: “We are here to-night to discuss the Issues of this campaign from a business standpoint. There are a great many issues involved In this campaign, and these we are endeavoring to place before the people in a business manner.” Mr. Kealing then spoke at length on the conduct of the present administration, showing wherein it was working to the disadvantage of the people in its endeavor to benefit itself. “No matter what charges we make against Taggart and his administration,” he said, “you only have to pick up tho afternoon organ and there you can road Mr. Taggart’s general denial of anything that appears against him. He can even deny his acts that appear upon the records, but such a denial does not alter the facts. Mr. Harding stands this year for the people, for cheaper gas, for cheaper telephones, for cheaper street-car sendee. Mr. Taggart stands for monopolies and corporations. Tho citizens of Brightvvood are interested in this gas question. You have to pay half again as much for gas here as you would did you reside in the city. Is Mr. Taggart making an honest endeavor to secure cheaper gas for you? No, he puts you off and tells you to wait and you will get it. But will you get it if ho has the say so about it? MR. TAGGART’S RECORD. "What is Mr. Taggart’s record on the gas question? Let mo tell you right here that Thomas Taggart never raised his voice for cheaper gas until the papers began agitating it, and public opinion and sentiment forced him to say’ that he wanted cheaper gas. You have only to look to the records of the Common Council of Indianapolis to learn that he held the resolution which had been introduced for cheaper gaa, sixty days without uttering a word about the matter. I was this suburb's attorney for nine years out of ten and I know how the gas company compelled the consumers here to pay one-half more for gas than the citizens of the city’ paid for it. After this suburb had beon made a part of the city can you show me one thing Taggart ever did to get you cheaper gaa rates—the rates that were being paid In the city'? Y'ou are obliged to pay taxes the same as I do, why, then, should you be obliged to pay $6 more a year on a cook stove than I would have to pay? Your citizens have petitioned the City Council to secure for you city rates. The Council Is two-thirds Democratic, but did you get what you asked? Several times has your committee waited upon both Mr. Taggart and Mr. Johnson but it did no good. ABggart told you he did not see why it could not be done and forthwith sent you to see Mr. Pierson. Your petition was ignored and not even voted upon by the Council. “Mr. Harding comes before you and looks you in the eye, while Taggart sits in a back room at the Grand Hotel, directing followers and associates in an administration that has increased the bonded indebtedness of the city $570,u00. Numerous inspectors have been appointed by the administration to smooth over the feelings of dissatisfied Democrats, and these inspectors are paid $65 a month out of the city’s money in order to keep them in good humor and hold them in line. Taggart claims that he is a friend of the working man, but is he? It took SI,OOO the week of the Democratic convention to nominate him, and at that rate how much money will it take to elect him? Is it not time for the people to get on the opposite side?” MR. BOOKWALTER'S SPEECH. Mr. Bookwalter next addressed the people on the park system, giving details of the way in which much of the work has been carried on. In part, be said: “The apologists for this administration have been insisting that the charges I have heretofore made have been too vague to receive credence; that the story of midnight meetings in barrooms and in the upper rooms of hotels have been like a story from "Old Sleuth,” but I ask you what could be more positive than the statements I have made this evening. I now for the first time make this additional charge against the park record of this administration, and I hope I will be sufficiently explicit to suit these fastidious gentlemen. Prior to the 26th day of February, the date of the meeting of the finance committee in the little room east of the barroom of the Grand Hotel, several members of the finance committee insisted that they should receive some guarantee from the Park Board as to how the money appropriated for park purposes should bo expended. I charge that members of tlie Park Board and the mayor suggested to a member of this eommiUee that he prepare an agreement binding the Park Board as to the disposition to be made of the money appropriated, and in accordance with this suggestion such an agreement was prepared. This agreement was in effect as follows: “In consideration of the Council passing general ordinance No. 2, 1897, appropriating $350,000 for the purchase of park lands, we hereby agree to purchase the following described tracts of lands. (Here followed a description of the lands to be purchased, but no mention was made of the mayor’s propagating ground.) We further agree that the $50,000 appropriated for labor shall be expended upon the smaller tracts of land set out above. "Here the contract or agreement prepared by the member of the Council ended, but I now charge that after this had been read to Mr. Holt and Mr. Lieber, of the Park Board, and Mayor Taggart, who was present in the office of the Grand Hotel at the time, that the following addition was made at the suggestion of the gentlemen present: ‘The Park Boaid reserves the right 10 purchase in addition to the above described tracts fifty acres at the intersection of the Belt Railroad and White river tor a propagating ground, at a valuation of $15,000.’ HOW THE CONTRACT WAS SIGNED. “I charge that this addition to the contract was made in the presence of the ttvo members of the Park Board and the mayor at their suggestion and with their consent, and that the verbiage was dictated by them. I charge that when this contract was thus amended that Mr. Holt signed on the lust line of the page; that Mr. Lieber signed on the line immediately above him, and that this unusual form of signing a contract was followed upon the suggestion that it would be best to secure the signature of Mr. English first, which one of the members of the Park Board agreed to do. 1 charge that this agreement, as amended by the mayor and the Park Board, was shown at the subsequent meeting of the finance committee, and was the basis of the agreement for the passage of the appropriation. 1 charge that this agreement was taken to Mr. English, but that he refused to sign it. I charge that the members of the Park Board who too'.* it to him. upon returning the agreement to the author of it. explained the absence of Mr. English's signature by the statement that he was too s,ck to be bothered with business of any kind. I charge that this document was again used at tho meeting of the Council on the night of Marffi 1. w hen the appropriation ordinance finally passed. I call upon any of the gentlemen named by me to deny these charges, if they do not. I ask you. my febowcitlzens, have wo not made good the charge that this business administration has been caught in the attempt to unload worthless swamp land upon your park system? Remember this all occurred long after the Bth day of February, the time when Mr. Taggart says his land dropped out. Do you need further proof that this scheme was pushed along after Feb. 8? I hold in my hand an extract from the lnSentinel of March 6. It is a on under the heading, “The

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1897.

Park Lands." and Is signed “West Side.” I arn reliably Informed tnat the author of this literary effort is a Democratic councilman. Listen tc what this Democrat has to say in the Sentinel on March 6. five days after the appropriation was made, and almost thirty days after the now famous Bth day of February: “To the Editor —Sir: I noticed in your issue of yesterday that the park commissioners have decided to leave out of the park system the land on the river south of Indiana avenue, ex ept that piece near Mor-ris-street bridge, which they intend to buy for propagating purposes. It Is said by the board tnat the land on the river between Indiana avenue and Washington street overflows, and for this reason is not desirable. This is not true, as this land from the Bvenue to Michigan street is levied and nev< r overflows, and a small levee from Michigan street to Washington street would protect the land between these points. “The experts who viewed the park lands all agreed that the land along the river from Washington street should be a part of the park, as (hey possess natural advantages that would add much to any park. Beside this land is surrounded by' a large population and Is accessible to more working people than any other piece of land named by' the board. “The piece of land near Morris street on the river has never been recommended for a park, and the board admits this, but it is proposed to buy it at. a cost of $15,000 and use it as a garden or propagating grounds. This land is among the very lowest on the river and cannot be successfully levied. If it is necessary to have a propagating ground the proper place, it seems to me, would be near the center of the park, in order that the plants can be taken to any part of it with the least amount of labor and time. It is claimed that this river land Is owned by a prominent city official and Its selection is due to a desire to please him. If this is true, then the board will do well to go slow, as the public will be sure to resent any action on the part of the board that smacks of favoritism. Indianapolis, March 5. WEST SIDE. “Does not this prove,” concluded the speaker, "that Mr. Taggart’s land was included in the paik system? Does it not prove that they were working a scheme to secure its purchase and deceive the people? 1 think that you will join with me in saying emphatically tnat it certainly does.” Mr. Harding, who was next introduced by the chairman, said it afforded him much pleasure to meet the people of Brightwood and he would not detain them long. “I noticed in the Evening News,” he continued, “an editorial arraigning me for a statement I made criticising the Taggart administration at a meeting last week. I said that the administration had shown poor business ability when it tried to buy' certain lands and appropriated $300,000 for its purchase. I simply spoke of facts when I said that the assessor’s books showed the appraisement of this land to be $3*08,000 for the purpose of taxation, which you know is not quite up to its true value, and they expect to purchase it for even less than the amount for which it is appraised upon the books of the assessor of Marion county'. Need I tell you against whom this confiscation of land at such a low figure would w r ork an injustice? Do they call this doing business from a business standpoint? At the amount set by the Park Board of appraisers, I say that they could not purchase this land without confiscating one half of the property in that system, and they have not enough money to purchase it at its real valuation. Now I will again make the assertion that they are either attempting to deceive the public, or lack business ability. Another thing that strikes me as peculiar is the fact that this board of park appraisers appraised Mr. Taggart’s land at S3OO an acre, while it is only appraised at SIOO an acre for taxation. It looks to me very much like favoritism, for the other lands were not appraised as much individually as is shown by their assessments. Joseph Flack and Sterling R. Holt are Taggart’s bosom friends and they havd appraised his land for three times as much as it was appraised for taxation. I do not believe in the eonfiscatiott of property and in this deal favoritism has been shown from beginning to end. Just look at the crooked line that was drawn so as to include all the ice ponds except that one owned by Mr. Holt. It looks very much as though he was figuring on having a monopoly on the ice trade. The Indianapolis Gas Company is spending its money sending out its employes to work for Taggart, and doing everything to secure his election that money' can do or devise. Can you expect more, 'rom Taggart, supported by corporations, than you can expect from me, w'ho is being fought by them? A man is not known by his professiona nor by his words, but he Is known by his acts, his life and his character. Taggart, by his conduct and close relations w ith Jchn R. Pearson, in my opinion. will not do very much tow’ard securing cheaper gas for you if elected. His case and mine are up for trial before the voters Os Indianapolis. Can you name any act or statement made by him that declares him the people’s friend, and not the friend of corporations? Ido not condemn corporations. for they are a necessary support of the commercial world. But I am in favor of individuals also having their rights. I ask corporations to render as strict an account to us as thev are obliged to do to stockholders. When they try to monopolize streets to the exclusion of all others 1 object. No monopoly can exist under competition, and mv policy' is competition.” H. E. Negley next spoke briefly of the city’s credit, and showed why capitalists w'ould not come here and invest their capital. The stand that the capitalist takes is that if he brings capital here he will have to help pay the enormous city' debt. The speaker recommended that tho Taggart administration appoint a bond inspector. In speaking of the Bell-street sewer, he puts little faith in Taggart’s assertion that, in case of his election, it w ill not be built. FORMED A HARDING CLUB. Eighty Fifteenth-Ward Democrat* Sickened ly the Ilogr Land Deal. A W. N. Harding club, composed almost entirely of former Democratic voters, was organized in the Fifteenth ward last night. The meeting was held in the rooms over Quin’s saloon at the corner of Ray and West streets. About eighty voters signed the roll and became members. Officers were elected as follows: Dave Welsh, president; Martin Barrett, vice president; Thomas McCarthy, financial secretary; Michael Smith, recording secretary; John Hickey, sergeant-at-arms; James Holleran, captain. The following resolution was adopted: “Be it resolved by the Fifteenth-ward Harding Club that we, as former Democrats, are opposed to the election of any' man as mayor of the city of Indianapolis who uses his official position to advance his personal financial interests, as Thomas Taggart has done in his manipulation of the Board of Park Commissioners, to unload upon the city his useless ‘swamp lands’ at fabulous prices, and we therefore pledge ourselves to support Mr. W. N. Harding and the Republican ticket.” HAI GIIVILLE REPUBLICANS. Good Meeting Held In the Democratic Suburb Lust Evening. Haughville Republicans held a meeting last night at Bismarck and Grand avenues. Cash Hadley, the first speaker, said in part: “Everyone knows that nobody knows what Taggart’s real attitude was in the late election. How can any’ one have confidence In a man when he is afraid to let his real political views be known? Taggart has not had the courage to come squarely out and say what he really believes. It is his duty and not a courtesy to tell what he has doqe with the city’s money.” Gurley' Brewer, the next speaker, compared Taggart to Warren Hastings. “Everything is crippled,” declared Mr. Noel, the next, speaker, "because corrupt officials dip their hands into the public money. The Democrats had to have a campaign fund and thought that Mr. Taggart was the man to furnish it. So they’ asked him for money to be used in re-electing himself and he gave them $22,090 out of the city treasury. This was to be used in giving employment to Democratic heelers and other con. stituents. but ostensibly to improve Pogue’s run.” Gabriel Jones was the last speaker of the evening. Taggart Reciting Hl* “Piece.” Thomas Taggart, with the police judge and the city' clerk, went out to Mount Jackson last night and spoke to an audience of about seventy-five persons. From Mount Jackson they came Into the Washingtonstreet crossing at the Belt Railroad and addressed a meeting of about two hundred, in both places "Iley Tom,” the chief orator, spoke his lines as he has learned them. He “jollied” Judge Cox in the usual style. The little judge and City Clerk Stuckmeyer also made speeches. Hml Carriers’ Union. At the regular meeting of Hod Carriers’ Union, No. 1, held last night on Indiana avenue the speeches were made by President Mclntosh and Treasurer Teeters, of the union. They referred to the coming election and when the names of the Republic an candidates were mentioned the meeting broke into a tumult of cheers. The name of W. N. Harding was enthusiastically received. There was also a speech by George Leathers About two hundred members of the union were present. Free Syndicate Beer. Sunday afternoon there was a Democratic meeting on a vacant lot near Barth avenue, in the south part of town, ut which Charles H. Stuckmeyer, candidate for city clerk, William eßaty and others were speakers. While the speaking was on two kegs of free , syndicate beer were brought out and tapped.

The drinking proceded in the sight of every person that passed that way. Taxpayer and the Controller. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The object which the Taxpayer had In view' was to demonstrate the fact that the Taggart administration was, even on Sept. 29, 1897, paying current expenses out of money received from park and station house bonds. The Taggart administration does not deny this, and cannot do so. The reasons it cannot deny these charges are made very plain by the analysis of the statement made by the controller, as given in the Indianapolis N as Oct. 4, 1897. He agrees with the Taxpayer that the city had received borrowed money from park and station house bonds, $534,443.37, which he also agrees is borrowed money, and was received by the city previous to Sept. 20, 1897. He agrees with the Taxpayer that the balance on Sept. 29, IBD<, was $513,511.14; also, that this balance on this day is less than $534,443.37. He agrees that up to Sept. 20, 1897, that of this borrowed money there had already been spent $42,336.02, an amount greater than was showm by Taxpayer. He does not deny, and cannot do so, that this balance of $513,511.14 was every dollar borrowed money. He does not agree with the Taxpayer in another matter. He admits, however, that the administration received from improvement bonds during 1896 $70,700, but he does not agree that there was spent only $52,330.17, but says that there was spent $.>2,000 for fire force and $34,000 for City, Hospital. Tavpayer can’t see how the Taggart administration could spend $86,000 for a specific purpose when it had received only $70,700. This is about the only difference between the analysis of the Taxpayer's statement made by the controller. Regardless of the statement made that the balance was obtained from the Republican treasurer, the facts are that the Agree of which the Taxpayer’s statement w’as composed were taken direct from tne books in the controller’s office, and which the controller cannot say are not correct. They were readily given upon request, until the bookkeeper, w’ho was alone tumbled to what information was wanted and refused to furnish any more. It in ay be that he did not care to give any additional facts, for I was referred to tne controller himself for anything more than. I had already obtained. I suppose he did not have them already juggled up. As for the correctness of the figures as published Oct. 3, 1897, 1 wiH go with any representative of the Inuianapolis News and verify them, provided the Taggart administration would not object to hating light thrown on their records.

To tho Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I desire to correct a mistake printed in the Journal of the 2d inst., in regard to a colored church at the corner of California and North streets. It should have read that the official board of that church, which is known as the California-street M. E. Church—the membership of which is white, instead of colored—petitioned the Boand of Public Works for an electric light to be placed at the corner of the church, and I spoke to Mayor Taggart about the matter and he said he would give It his attention. I desire to thank Mayor Taggart and the Board of Works for their prompt action in relieving a long-suffering people, and hoping the crossings asked for will Je put in soon. CHARLES H. HART, Member Official Board California-street M. E. Church. AGAINST YELLOW FEVER * STATE OF INDIANA TO DECLARE A QUARANTINE AGAINST THE SOUTH. • Health Officer* Believe There 1* Fever in Louisville and St. Lout*—Contingent Fund Drawn Upon. —♦ Tlie re was a meeting yesterday morning of the State and Ciiy Boards of Health to discuss the yellow fever situation. It was decided that the authorities ought to bo prepared for any emergency, as there is really some danger of the fever reaching this State and city. The matter was left with the State Board and it is probable that this board will follow the course now being pursued by Cincinnati, which is to inspect all persons coming into the State from the South and quarantining all who cannot give a satisfactory account of themselves or show health certificates. The two boards, through Dr. Hurty, secretary of the State Board, sent a communication to Governor Mount, laying the situation before him and asking that money be provided for the expense of such a quarantine and Inspection in case it became necessary. Governor Mount later sent the following letter to Secretary Hurty: It having been shown to my satisfaction that an emergency exists, and that steps should be immediately taken by the proper authorities to guard against tlie introduction into this State of a contagious disease commonly termed yellow fever, and acting upon recommendations made by otficials of the State Board of Health and of the city of Indianapolis. I hereby authorize you to draw orders on the auditor of state for any sum or sums not exceeding SI,OOO, the same to be expended under the direction of the State Board of Health, for such precautionary and preventive measures as may be deemed necessary and proper for the protection of the public health and the welfare of our people. This action is taken in accordance with the provisions of an act of the General Assembly approved March 4, 1893, for the purpose of preventing the introduction and spread of contagious and infectious diseases within this State. In speaking of the matter later In the day Dr. Hurty said: “There is danger of the fever reaching this State. It is increasing in the South and thousands of refugees are daily coming into or through the State. The conditions are not perfect for the spread of the disease in this State, but they are better than ever before. The weather is warm and dry. Humidity is necessary for a perfection condition and the drought may be our salvation. But it may be necessary for some decisive work and we want to be prepared to meet the emergency should it arise.” Dr. Hurty went on to recite the circumstance of 1883, when the fever got into Philadelphia and killed four thousand people and even went as far as New Hampshire. He said there were already two cases in Louisville, just across the Indiana line. These two cases are known, but he thinks there are many cases* which are not reported. While not seriously alarmed. Dr. Hurty is desirous that all precautionary steps be taken that may seem advisable. Dr. Jameson, president of the State Beard of Health, when asked last night w'hat positive knowledge he had of yellow fever In Louisville, said: “My information is second hand, coming through Dr. Withrow, of Cincinnati. It has been very generally rumored that there is yellow fever in Louisville and in St. Louis, and Dr. Withrow says there is.” The state board will meet this morning to perfect plans for the quarantine. Against St. Louis and Southern cities it is a very simple matter of inspecting trains and demanding health certificates of passengers, but with Louisville it is a bigger problem, for New’ Albany and Jeffersonville are simply suburbs of Louisville, and thousands of people pass between them daliv on the “dinkey” trains, street cars and on foot. “We shall take that matter up in the morning.” said Pr. Jameson, “and r presume we shall employ as many guards as may be necessary to enforce the quarantine. A quarantine is of no value unless it is thoroughly enforced. Whether there exists yellow fever in I/misville or not at present 1 feel very sure that without quarantine. If this hot weather continues, they will have it not only at Louisville, but at Indianapolis, not in epidemic form, of course, but enough to paralyze things.”

WAS ITS LAST MEETING PRESENT COUNCIL EXPIRES WITHOUT PARTICULAR INCIDENT. Appointment of Eleetion Inspectors Was Its Only Action—Democrats Given Small Jobs. * The last, meeting of the Common Council as at present constituted was held last night. It was very brief. The majority had no business to work through and was careful that the minority should do nothing. Mr. Ccoper wanted to introduce a resolution after Mr. Wolcott had moved to adjourn, and Mr. Wolcott would not consent to its introduction until Mr. Colter, his second, was informed that the resolution was one from the minority thanking President Costello and the majority for the courtesies received. The resolution was adopted, and President Costello made a modest speech in acknowledgment. City Clerk Stuckmeyer was not present. The only business transacted was in the adoption, of a resolution appointing inspectors for the election to be held next Tuesday. There is one inspector for each precinct, us follows: —First WardPrecinct 1, Henry Hodson, 44 North Station street; 2, John Stanley, Morris street, Brightwood; 3, Henry B.
