BRIDGES AS A BIDDER. Take* a School Hoard Loan Away from Mr. Freniel'gi Bunk. The School Board held a special meeting last night to receive the report of the finance committee. That commute reported that It had met at noon yesterday to receive bids for the $20,000 constituting the third installment of the temporary loan authorized by the old board. Advertisements had been Inserted in Indianapolis. Chicago and Cincinnati papers, and capitalists in these and other cities had been notified, it was claimed. But two bids were received. One from the Merchants' National Bank was at 5 per cent., with a premium of 5 p<>r cent. The other was from the C. W. Bridges Investment Company, and offered to make the loan at 4.25 per cent. The latter bid was recommended by the committee. and the board awarded the loan to this company. This makes $260,000 that the board has borrowed, and this is the limit under the rule. On motion of Mr. Vonnegut, David K. Goss, superintendent of schools, was made a member of the library advisory committee. The May Music Festival was tendered the use of High School Hall for rehearsals as heretofore. AMUSEMENTS. This afternoon and 10-ntght will conclude the engagement at the Park of Murray and Mack in "Finnigun’s Courtship.” On Monday "Hogan's Alley'' comes for three days with Gilmore and Leonard and a company of twenty. There hasn't been an empty feat In the Park at the evening performance' this week. Ore of the weirdest figures in modern fiction is certainly Stanley Weyman’s "The Man in Black.” Old Solomon Notre Dame is hauntingly attractive in his very hideousness, and It is not without half a regret that the reader sees him hopelessly circumvented by his own victims, allied bj fyto. It would be bard to Imagine a more powerful figure to put dn the stage, aivi Espy Williams, the prominent writer of New Orleans, has made an excellent choice. He has found it neettsary to change and enlarge Weyman's plot considerably, for the novel Is a short one, but he has kept the old magicion consistent and enlarged liis scope. Walker Whiteside will appear in this great play at the Grand next Tuesday r.tftht and Wednesday matinee. He will open in “Richelieu” Monday night and play "Hamlet” Wednesday night.

Prussia, and her Excellency the wife of the late General Von Tosoh, formererly head of the admiralty department and number of the Cabinet of the late Emperor "William 1. are her cousins. 4 linage In Vaudeville Combine. CHICAGO, Oct. s. An important changa in the affairs of the big vaudeville combine directed by Messrs. Kohl, Hopkins and Castle, of this city and controlling the vaudeville Interests of nearly the entire territory west of New York, was made here to-day when the Orpneuin circuit of the

Pacific coast was dropped. According to the statement of the local managers who have the affairs of the big circuit in hand. Director Gustav Walter, of the Orpheum circuit, insisted on pertormers going to the coast for the same salary they obtained through the East and this part of the country. and in justice to the performers playing the eight theaters directly booked by the combine, and nearly a score of other auxiliary houses in the Central West, it was decided to drop the extreme Western end of the circuit in all negotiations with performers. As the salaries on the coast have heretofore been double the amount received elsewhere, due to the heavy expense and loss of time making the big jump, this move is expected to result beneficially to the vaudeville performers.

Team Pneingf Record Broken. GLENS FALLS. N. Y., Oct. B.—At the mile track of the Northern Horse Breeders' Association here to-day John R. Gentry and Robert J. broke the pacing team record, going the mile in faultless style in 2:08. This was done after the pair had been sent a mile in 2:11. Before the cloke of the day’s sport, Gentry, with his running mate, paced a mile in 2:03%. Three thousand persons filled the stands. Robert J. was given a warming-up heat in 2:12, and Gentry was sent a mile in 2:09%. The two great pacers then made ready for their effort against the world’s record of 2:09 for double teams. After a short spin they faced the wire and received the word. They turned the first quarter In :32, going steady, and at the half 1:04% was hung out; the three-quarters was turned off in 1:37% and the mile in 2:11. This, of course, was a disappointment. On the second trial the team got away on the third score, Robert J. having broken on the first turn in the two first attempts. The first quarter was a repetition of the first trial—in :32—but the half mile was a quarter of a second slower. They reached the three-quarter pole in 1:36V 4 again, as they straightened out for home Driver Bowne shook them up a Pit, ami tney came down the stretch in a tremendous burst of speed, passing under the wire in the marvelous time of :30% for the last quarter and making the mile in 2:08. The crowd went wild with enthusiasm. Shortly afterward Gentry was brought out for his trial with running mate to break the track record of 2:01 >2, made by himself in 3896. He went the distance with clock-like regularity in 2:03%, finishing fresh, which, considering the work he had done previous to this, was a great performance. Robert J. was then sent along. He turned the first quarter in :30, the half in 1 minute, the three-quarters in 1:33, and the mile in 2:04%. Tne wind interfered greatly in the trials, and but for this interference the record would undoubtedly have gone much lower. In the 2:lk trot and pace, in which there was five starters, Genevra won in straight heats. Gentry and Robert J. will be shipped tomorrow to Hagerstown, Md., where they will appear at the state fair. They will go from there to Nashville, Tenn. Lady Anderson at New Castle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW CASTLE. Ind., Oct. B.—The races drew a large crowd to the fair grounds to-day. Lady Anderson, the “guideless wonder,” paced a half mile in 1-02%. The 2:08 pace, the greatest event of the week, comes to-morrow, also the last heats of the 2:25 trot.

In the 2:14 pace Favor, owned by Charles Smart, of Connecticut, took three straight heats. * • Pointer anti Patohen. OMAHA. Neb., Oct. B.—A fierce north wind blowing across the track effectually prevented any breaking of records in the Pointer-Patchen trials to-day. Joe Patchen went a mile in 2:06%. By quarters: :29. :59, 1:31. 2:03%. Star Pointer’s mile was 2:02%. By quarters: :30, 1:01%, 1:32, 2:02%. There were several trials against time by local horses. NORMAL AND LIBRARY.

PAID TWICE BY THE CITY I). A. MURPHY’S AFFIDAVIT AS TO ENGINEER JEIP’S OFFICE. One Inspector’* “Snap”—Flack XVas Foreman of Grand. Jury to Whiek Murphy Complained. Dennis A. Murphy tells in the following communication of his experience with the rottenness of the Taggart administration; “J, have lived in this city twenty-two years and have been in the contracting business seven years. 1 have been a Democrat ail my life, but i cannot, for good reasons, support Mr. Taggart this year. Since the nomination of Mr. Taggart he has met me and wanted to know why 1 was against him tor re-election, and. 1 told him that as long us Mr. Jeup was city engineer l could not give him my support. 1 toid him how l was oppressed by Mr. Jeup because he did not like me, and practically forced to retire from business. He patted me on me shoulder, smiled aud said. ‘Why did you not come to me? 1 w'ill look after all my friends.’ Since iiis nomination dilierent city inspectors have come to me and told me to figure on work below cost and they would assure me that I would get through all right, even if it w as at the expense of the property holders. In the spring of 1896 1 knew of so much rottenness in the city engineer’s otiice and among his inspectors that 1 went before the grand jury of Marion county. Joseph Flack was foreman of the grand jury, and 1 gave to him a list of witnesses that 1 wished called to prove the charges that 1 swore to before the grand jury. These witnesses were not at that time nor any other time called before the grand jury to testify. After 1 had testified Joseph Flack walked out of the grand jury room and went directly to Mayor Taggart’s office. I followed him to the oltice and heard them talk about the very matters that I have testified to, and the whole thing was ended at that time. “On the sth day of August, 1897, I presented to the Council the affidavit which I desire you to publish in your paper. That affidavit has been in the hands of a Republican councilman ever since that time, and whenever he makes an attempt to bring the matter up before the Council in order that the Council may investigate it some Democrat moves to adjourn. This has been done time and again since the day it w’as presented. I have myself talked with Dennis J. Wren, the person mentioned in the affidavit, and he told me that the city engineer made the proposition to him that he was going to-permit him to Craw two-days’ pay for one day’s work. The bill for work mentioned in this affidavit came before the School Board with a recommendation from City Engineer Jeup that it should be paid, he knowing that the city had already paid him for the same work about two weeks before that, and when it. came before the board for action Henry Russe, a Democrat, objected to its allowance because it had been paid. These are only a few of the reasons why 1 cannot support Mr. Taggart. If these facts are denied I can furnish abundant proof for them.” MR. MURPHY’S AFFIDAVIT. The affidavit Mr. Murphy speaks of is embraced in the following: “To the Common Council of the City of Indianapolis—The undersigned, Dennis A. Murphy, a citizen of the city of Indianapolis, and a resident and voter of said city, presents to your honorable body and makes the following charges against Bernard J. T. Jeup, an employe of said city in the capacity of city engineer. “He charges that on or about the period between the 9th day of March and the 6th day of April, 1896, one Dennis J. Wren was employed as an inspector of the work being done on a certain sewer connection with school building No. 15. on East Michigan street, in the city of Indianapolis; that as such inspector, said Wren was paid by tho School Board of the City of Indianapolis a salary or sls per week during the time he w as employed as such inspector, being about, four w’eeks; that the employment of said Wren by said School Board and the payment of his salarv was with the knowledge and under the appointment of the said city engineer. “He further charges that during the time bet ween the above-named dates the said Dennis J. Wren was also paid for his services as inspector by the city of Indianapolis; that on or about April 1 and May 1, 1896, pay rolls wort prepared by the said city engineer in which the name of Dennis J.

HIS SWORD TOO LONG MR. YAKIMA ATTEMPTS SI HIDE IX THE ISI Ali JAPANESE WAY. Hash Act of n Despondent Diplomat Who Failed in His Mission to Honolnlu. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8.-The Japan Mail of Sept. 22, copies of which arrived here to-day by the steamship China, had the following account of the attempted suicide of Councilor Yakima: “Mr. Yakima, councilor of the Foreign Office, who was sent to Hawaii in connection with the emigration trouble and who left Yokohama for Japan on the 26th of July, had been in a melancholy frame of mind eveif since his return to Tokio. On the 20th of September he was found by a member of the household in his room bathed in blood. A sword about three feet long was grasped in his right hand and several severe wounds were visible in his neck and stomach. He was almost unconscious, but owing to the difficulty of using a weaaon of such length for suicidal purposes, according to the orthodox Japanese fashion, he had failed to inflict mortal injuries. A physician waft soon on the spot and the wounds were treated, that in the stomach requiring fifty stitches. It is understood to be the doctor’s opinion, if no complications ensue, a fatal result need not be apprehended. The almost invariable custom with a Japanese who contemplated suicide is to leave a written statement of his reasons for the act, but nothing of this kind has been found in Mr. Y’akima’s case and it is of course idle to speculate on the motives by which he was Influenced. Possibly the simple explanation is mental derangement, but naturally there is a disposition to infer that some feature of the Hawaiian affair had depressed him beyond endurance. During the summer over 47,000 cases of dysentery and 9,300 deaths from the same cause have been reported throughout Japan. The Tokio Tramway Company, which is about to change its present system to that of an electric railway, has increased its capital stock to 3,000,000 yen. The Foreign Department will next year establish legations in Belgium, Turkey, Spain, and live consulates, at Marseilles, Hamburg, Odessa, Calcutta and Kanko. Ninety persons were killed outright, three hundred injured and thousands of houses and other buildings destroyed in the vicinity of Tokio by a typhoon on Sept. 9. The China brought the following Hawaiian advices, under date of the 2d inst.: Councilor Yakima, who tried to commit suicide in Yokohama, arrived in this city on the Japanese cruiser Naniwa last May to assist Minister Shimamura in handling the Japanese immigration matter. He proved to be a bright young man of considerable experience in diplomatic work, and he made many friends during the three months he spent on the islands. He was ordered home In July, and the Impression got abroad at the time that he failed to accomplish what was expected of him by his government and that he had gone home in disgrace. At any rate, prior to his departure the matter had been taken entirely out of his hands. The Supreme Court of Hawaii has affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of the steamship China, and at a late hour yesterday G. W, MacFarlane secured a register for the big vessel. Dr. Jerrard K. Smith, a brother of Atr torney General Smith, was murdered at Koloa. on the Island of Kauai, on the night of Sept. 24. A native named Kapea committed the deed. His brother, an accomplice, turned state’s evidence and the arrest of the murderer followed. The crime was committed because Smith had ordered his mistress to Honolulu to report as a leper suspect. This action incensed the native and he took the physician’s life. Dr. Smith was to be married shortly to Miss Mary Browser, now’ in San Francisco. Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama, addressed a large’number of natives on Sept. 30. He spoke of the benefits annexation would bring to the Hawaiians.

ALLEGED DISCREPANCIES. Records and Accounts of the City of Brooklyn Xot Correct. NEW YORK, Oct. B.—Controller Fitch’s expert accountants, who have been at work investigating the records and accounts of the city of Brooklyn, preparatory to consolidation, have found discrepancies In the accounts amounting to $5,000. The details of.the experts’ report are as follows: The records of the towns of Flatlands, Flatbush, New' Lots, New Utterech and Gravesend, which the officials of these towns claim were turned over to the controller and corporation counsel of Brooklyn when they were merged into Brooklyn, cannot be found and their absence interfered materially with a proper investigation. There are disagreements between the books of the controller of Brooklyn and those of the registrar of arrears. In the department of arrears is the utmost confusion in the records. The ledgers are some 225 In number containing over 200,000 accounts, are not in balance, and apparently have never been balanced and while on Jan. 1, 1897, the balance to the debit of the registrar of arrears on the books of the controller was $8,415,128 the balance carried by the registrar of arrears as representing the taxes and assessments in arrears was $3,714,826 and while the general ledger shows that arrears of taxes prior to 1893 have been overpaid $17,253 the ward ledgers disclose many items of unpaid taxes. Officials of Brooklyn deny that there Is or has been any malfeasance and allege that the discrepancies reported by Controller Fitch’s experts are due in large part to the defective system of bookkeeping followed In the towns which were recently annexed to Brooklyn. Tribesmen Warned. SIMLA, Oct. B.—Gen.

Stanton, former manager of the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, has been declared a bankrupt, at London, with liabilities amounting to £852, with no assets. A dispatch from Cape Town says that Dr. Jameson, the leader of the Transvaal raid, will seek a seat in the Cape Assembly at the next general election. The chief plank in his platform will be: “Federation for South Africa.” Emperor William has conferred the Louise Order upon his sister, the Crown Princess of Greece. The red cross is engraved on this order, in view of the supposed connection of the princess with the efforts to relieve the wounded of the Turko-Greek war. The St. James Gazette, of London, says the Britsh War Office has elaborated a plan by which the volunteers of Great Britain will be liable for service abroad in case of war. Hitherto the volunteers have been liable for duty abroad only for the defense of the colonies and in extraordinary cases.

PEORIft WOMAN’S • GIFT DEDICATION OF THE- BRADLEY POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE. ♦ Endowed with 92,500,000 by Mrs. Lydia Bradley—Address by Secretary of the Treasury Gage. 1 PEORIA, 111., Oct. B.—This afternoon occurred the exercises dedicatory of the Bradley Polytechnic Institute, to which a wealthy Peoria woman, Mrs. Lydia Bradley, has given $2,500,000. The building is a very handsome and spacious one of white stone and near by Is another edifice of the same material, which will be occupied by an Horological Institute under the control of the same board of trustees. A number of prominent educators from abroad, including college presidents, were in attendance. The most notable feature on the programme was the dedicatory address by Hon. Lyman J. Gage', secretary of tho treasury. Mr. Gage said in part: “The common phenomena of the sun lifting by its invisible power the waters of the seas into the higher atmosphere, the drifting winds pushing their burden of moisture to the high mountains and lofty hills; the falling rains, the renewed rivulets and streams, the fertilizing meadows and fields through which they run back again to their resting place in the sea-—these phenomena rise in my mind as fairly tpyical of the series of phenomena which receive their visible expression here to-day. This magnificent institution to-day dedicated to posterity', is not the result of an accident. Back of it somewhere in the years may be read the story of self-denying effort, of industry and enterprise co-operating with natural forces, in gathering up the elements of wealth. Here and now this gathered force has broken in rich blessing on our land. Fertilized by its benign influence, mental life will here be quickened, new powers of production will be brought into existence. These again, uniting the powers of skill, genius and enterprise with nature’s forces, will become new producers of wealth and so, wisely used, the benign round of gathering and of distribution may go on forever. Compare this movement working in true harmony with that law of ascending spirals, which Mr. Emerson graphically described with another and more familiar movement beginning in poverty and ending in waste arid shame. It is thus described by a quondam, yet observant philosopher: •Poverty,’ he says, ‘spurs to industry, industry creates wealth, wealth induces luxury, luxury breeds effeminacy, effeminacy ends in poverty, and so the eternal round is accomplished.’ “The noble endowment to-day, dedicated not to ease and self-indulgence, not to luxury and its debilitating consequences, but dedicated to higher ends and uses, to the education of the mind, the skill of the hand, to the formation of character, is lifted up in sublime contrast to the lower and selfcentered round just described. Further than this, it is an eloquent protest against the acquisition of great wealth, for the narrow and unprofitable use of it in personal agrandizement alone. It is even more than this. With other noble endowments coming more and more into view, as the inoral responsibility of accumulated fortune is more fully realized, it constitutes a good promise of a happier future, when the power which accumulated wealth gives, will be joyfully recognized, not in conferring benefits on a narrow group, bearing the same family name, but will be exercised in conferring benefits on all who, by virtue of a common ancestry, springing up, it may be, far back in the ‘hills of God,’ are yet members one of another, In the great family of man.” At the close of Mr. Gage’s address the Institute was presented to the trustees by the founder, Mrs. Bradley, and accepted in their behalf by their president, Oliver J. Bailey. An address in beliaif of the faculty was delivered by W. R. Harper, president of the University of Chicago, who is also president of faculty of the Bradley institute. Mrs. Gage accompanied Mr. Gage to the city and was given lunch at the residence of J. B. Greenhut, president of the old Distillers’ and Cattle-feeders’ Company. Mr. Gage was tendered a brief reception at the. National Hotel. After the exercises Mr. and Mrs. Gage departed for Nashville, Tenn.

McCoy and Creation Must Look Elsewhere for a Battle Gronnd. BUFFALO, Oct. B.—lt is not probable that the McCoy-Creedon fight or any other finish fight will be brought off at Fort Erie or in any other section of Canada. For some time a party of New Yorkers has been endeavoring to secure In Montreal letters patent for the formation of the Canadian Athletic Association, its object being to give exhibitions of an athletic character, including boxing. Such letters were issued last week by the lieutenant governor in Council, but before signing the papers the clause relating to boxing exhibitions was stricken out, and any attempt to bring off a fight under this charter will be severely punished. There is a clause in the Canadian laws permitting glove contests, but officers of the law are always present at such affairs and stop the exhibition when the slightest brutality is shown. Knocked Out In Fifty-One Second*. LONDON, Oct. B.—Dick Burge and Tom Causer started in to fight twenty rounds tonight, but Causer lasted only half a round. Burge wasted little time in sparring. Thrice In succession he planted his left heavily on the right side of Causer’s head without being hit In return. He then landed his right with tremendous force on the left side of Causer's chin. Causer dropped like a log and was counted out. The fight lasted only fifty-one seconds.
