Patrolman Hulsman says he had no occasion to use force in arresting ihe man; that he walked along with him quietly. He says he did not Know the man was Injured. It was not discovered at the Jail that his collar bone was broken until an hour after his arrival, when Stutz sobered up and complained of the pain. INCREASE *OF 25,000. Compulsory Law’* Effect on the State School Attendance. Superintendent of Public Instruction Getting Is daily receiving reports from Bounty superintendents, relating to the attendance under the compulsory school law. They are all practically alike, telling of increased attendance. There are few children of school age who are not in school, and the truancy officers are getting them in rapidly. The increase over last year, on account of the new law, Is estimated at about 25,000. Latest things In Rockers.—Wm. I* Elder.

GEN. HARRISON’S .RETURN HIS BISV SEASON AT lIIS COTTAGE IX THE ADIRONDACKS. The Deor Ahont Hl* Place—Hopeful of Tracy’* Victory in the Sew York Campaign. * General Harrison, wife and little daughter have just returned from their summer home in the Adirondaeks. They arrived in the city yesterday at 12:30 over the Pennsylvania. The general reports himself and family as having had excellent health in the mountains, but on the return all were affected by the influenza that almost amounts to an epidemic in New York. It was the general’s intention to arrive in this city at 12:30 on election day, but the illness contracted by the family In New York caused an unavoidable delay. All are now quite recovered and the ex-President appears even unusually well. While he enjoyed all the experiences he went through in his efforts to improve his mountain home to make it as he wished it, he says he is glad to get back to Indianapolis once more. He will (Stay here now, and only allow occasional business to call him away. A brief visit to Chicago is the only trip he has in view for the near future. While in the mountains the general gave his personal attention to much improvement about his place. A clearing was made in the forest that surrounds his house to allow an unobstructed view of the beautiful lake near by. He even tried “ending” by the side of a cross-cut saw, and enjoyed that. He helped the workmen build a rough fourroom house near the main one, and calls it his office. It was for such work as occupied some of his time this summer that he felt the need of an office. Indoor work, like preparing “This Country of Ours” for publication, formed part of his daily routine. This book hes just been published by Scribner & Cos. The general was too busy about his place to take any hunting or fishing trips, yet, according to his own story, he needed not have gone far after a deer. In fact, he says, the deer came on his place nearly every night and drank out of the water troughs. One of the men shot one, but unfortunately it got away in a crippled condition and Its carcass W’us not found for several days, when It was discovered that a bear, at least, had had a meal off of it. At New York the ex-President was much pressed to take an active part in the great campaign now in progress. While he utterly ignores the unwritten law that an exPresident should be seen and not heard, he refused repeated invitations to make speeches. H* did not, however, refuse to express his preference of candidates for the mayoralty. He did not hide his friendship and preference for his old secretary of the navy. In interviews he was openly for Mr. Ttacy and praised him for his “point” and force. The one thing said against Tracy is that he is Platt’s man. The general says that Tracy is too big to be anybody’s “man.” With the number of candidates in the field and the divided Interests, it is idle to predict the outcome. The general only hopes. He says the Republican pollers can “show” the election of Tracy. “We have had some experience with pollers ourselves,” he added. The division that Henry George will make in the Democratic vote, the general thinks, will be almost, if not quite, enough to elect a Republican mayor. But there are several other candidates, and no one can tell till election day how thev wilt affect the result. There is Low on the Citizens’ Union or independent ticket, and “Pat” Gleason, of Staten island, running on his own merits. Van Wyck, backed by Tammany, though, is the real power the Republicans fear. General Harrison declines to go so far as to express an inion on the result. He says there is not sufficient basis; that while the Democrats are giving odds on Van Wyck's election the Republican polls are favorable to Tracy. He says Tracy is making a great campaign and that his speeches are fine.

TAMMANY BROUGHT LOW OUT. J. B. Conner Says the llrave* Aided in Getting; Up Petition*. State Statistician John B. Conner returned Monday night from the East, and was in his office at the Statehouse yesterday. He spent several days in New York and became greatly interested in the local campaign there, the first for the election of officers for Greater New York. He has the greatest contempt for Seth Low as a politician and a candidate for mayor, though he considers him an estimable gentleman as a citizen. “The invitation he received from 127,000 voters to become a candidate has been exploded,” said Mr. Conner. “You know there was a petition signed by that number of voters urging Mr. Low to allow his name to be used, and Mr. Low gracefully declared that he could not refuse to hearken to such a demand. Recently detectives have been at work on this matter, and they have learned how this petition was secured. Hundreds of men were employed on a commission to get signature?. They went everywhere and insisted upon people signing. Everybody knows how easy it is to get signers to any sort of a petition. Thousands may have signed it without expecting to support the man. They considered that ro harm could be done by his candidacy, end may have signed the petition to accommodate the man presenting it, or to get rid of his persistent request that they sign it. One man stood at the New York approach to Brooklyn bridge and secured thousands of names in a single day. "But probably the greatest number of signers came from the ranks of the Tamil any followers. The word went out from Tammany: ‘Sign the Low petition,’ and the Tammany followers flocked to the holders of the petitions. To this extent the Low movement is a Tammany scheme to split the Republican vote. “On the other hand, the George movement will split the Democratic vote, but every day lessens the George strength. Tammany has drawn the party line strongly, and that powerful machine is beating the George supporters back into line rapidly. It looks now as if Low would run third in the race, with Henry George fourth and Tracy or Van Wyck first. The race for first place is certalrily between these two men, but It Is hard under the to more than guess which will be successful.” LABOR ON MARION CLUBHOUSE. Building; Committee Will Have No Nonunion Men Employed. Publication was recently made of the charge that nonunion labor was being employed on the Marion Club's new house. The club's building committee met last night and adopted the following: “Whereas, certain members of the Central Labor Union have called the attention of the building committee of the Marlon Club to the fact that the contractors for the work on the new clubhouse are employing nonunion laborers on said work, and “Whereas, It was the understanding of the building committee that said firm employ union labor on said work, “Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the architect of said work be, and he is hereby instructed to direct said contractors to the discharge all nonunion laborers on said work and employ union labor in their stead." This is signed by the following members of the building committee: Floyd A. Woods, acting chairman; Caleb N. Lodge, secretary: Frank L. Littleton, A. W. Moore, L. C. Rothschild, C. E. Thornton, Geo. B. Elliott, Eugene Saulcy, Thomas E. Potter, sr. A Shell Worker Caught. Yesterday morning some men met Patrolman Todd at the fire engine house at Washington street and Miley avenue, and told him that a man was working the shell game near the Belt and Vandalia crossing. He went over there In time to see the fellow starting away in a buggy. The "buggy was coming toward him, and the shell worker did not have time to turn around in the narrow road and drive the other way. The stranger jumped from the buggy, and ran, but was captured. He had just fleeced several persons. Among them was Richard Patterson, a young colored man. He had been working for ten years on the farm of Thomas Harmon, southwest of the city, and had saved $25 and had a gold watch worth about that amount. He told the policeman that he met the man and the latter offered to bet that he could not tell which shell the little ball was ider, after letting him see the ball lying exposed under ono of them. Patterson thought this was like finding money, and he put up his

money and watch. When he picked up the shell under which he had seen the ball, he realized that he had been beaten. The fellow gave the name of Charles Bramlett and his address as “Cerealine Town.” A $lO LINE FOR ROSASCO. Saloon Keeper Kuril pen Easily—Two of the ltioters Arrested.

Took First and Third Bontn—Rumor that the Contest Was “Fixed’’ —The Betting.

Dan McLeod won the wrestling match at the Grand Opera House last night from “Farmer” Burns, winning the first and third bouts, in one of the prettiest contested matches ever seen in Indianapolis. It was no easy victory, though McLeod probably nad the better of his man all the way through. He was three pounds lighter than Burns, but appeared to be in better condition, and he presented a better appearance as an athlete. His muscles are hard and larger than would be expected upon a man of his weight. Burns is two or three inches taller, but his limbs are almost perfectly straight and there is not the muscular development to which the other man can lay claim. The theater was crowded. Seats for newspaper men, visiting wrestlers and backers were arranged on three sides of the mat on the stage. From pit to dome the seats in the auditorium were taken. The interest of the spectators was held throughout the match, and the crowd went away yelling. Among the spectators were Tom Jenkins, of Cleveland, a man who Is believed in some quarters to be the superior of all American wrestlers, and John Caikeet, of Milwaukee, representing Evan (“Strangler”) Lewis. They were there to challenge the winner of the match, and announced their intention. Both Burns and McLeod signified their willingness to give either of the men a match, and Calkeet a(so expressed a desire to have his man meet Jenkins. The outcome will probably be the arrangement of several matches to take place in this city. The wrestlers and their backers were pleased with the size of the Indianapolis crowd which turned out to see the Burns-McLeod match, and will probably stipulate in coming matches, resulting from last night's challenges, that the matches come off here. The match last night was refereed by W. O. Wilcox, of Cincinnati. As seconds for Burns there appeared Harry Langdon, of San Francisco; “Jack” Davis, of Memphis; D. A. McMillan, of Chicago, and Sam Murbarger, of this city. McLeod’s seconds were Edward Atherton, of Rochester, N. Y., and Dennis Sullivan, of Broad lupple. George Catierson, of this city, actea as official timekeeper, and each of the men had his own timekeeper. The principals appeared at about 8:50, and, after two or three minutes for preliminaries, time was called. The men were on their feet for ten minutes working cautiously, with McLeod evidently doing the leading. He finally forced burns to the mat, and, after several close and bard efforts, finally pined his man. He had his hold fully two minutes before he was given the bout, holding Burns in a cramped and straining position, but never quite getting both snoulders to the mat. This bout lasted twentythree minutes. The hold which really won for McLeod the bout was a half Nelson and crotch. He held his opponent for a long time with the hammerloek, and seeing that this was almost a useless hold on the “Farmer,” relinquished it, allowed his antagonist to rise to his feet, and then quickly seized him by the leg and floored him again. This time the half Nelson and crotch hold was secured, and the bout was won. In the second bout, which was won by Burns, McLeod ny*de several beautiful exhibitions of head spinning, and showed his wonderful ability at dodging aparently fatal holds. Twice did Burns have a half Nelson which seemed must down McLeod, and just as tho friends of the latter were giving up hope, the wiry little fellow would make a head spin and find himself on top of the "farmer” and himself the aggressor. The second time, however, proved his downfall for the bout. He seized Burns's left hand and attempted, by running around on his knees in front of Burns, to get the other arm around in position to make use of the hammerloek. But Burna anticipated the move and, grabbing McLeod's right axin, obtained the hold on him which he was after, and put him to the mat. It took Burns thirty-seven minutes to win the second bout. The third bout was won by McLeod in seventeen minutes. It started with Burns the aggressor. He got McLeod to his knees and again did McLeod get away from a half Nelson by his famous headspin. McLeod finally secured another half Nelson and crotch hold, and after a struggle of three minutes, pinioned Burns’s shoulders and won the bout and the match. It was a hard struggle, during which he threw his antagonist about the stage like a dummy. He appeared to wear Burns out, and the latter seemed unable to make resistence when McLeod at last made the effort to pin his shoulders to the mat. The actual work of securing the bout was done with a body lock, the half Nelson-being used until Bums was almost down, and then the hold being changed to a plain body hold. McLeod was given an ovation after the bout. He came from his dressing room and stood beside his backer, George McKay, while the latter spoke for him. He said ho was willing to meet any wrestler, at anytime, and for any amount of money. He said Burns had acted like a gentleman throughout the match. Ed Atherton took occasion to challenge Hero Hale and Hale, happening to be on the stage, stepped forward and claimed that Atherton and he were to have met the night before to arrange a match, but that Atherton had not appeared. He would meet him any time, however. McLeod was the favorite in the betting on last night’s match. The odds were 10 to 8, though some bets were taken at 2 to 1. It was rumored during the afternoon that the match was “fixed,” as wrestling matches usually are. The rumor not only had the result of the match as it was, but went so far as to say that McLeod was to win the first and third bouts, and that the second bout was to be the longest, to give the people a "run for their money.” Along with this rumor floated the. report that a prominent betting man had $4,000 on McLeod. of which $2,000 w-as money belonging to Burns. The match had not the appearance of being other than a hard contest for victory between the two wrestlers.

Examining Young Physician*. The State Board of Medical Registration and Examination was in session yesterday, and before it appeared four young doctors who wished to be allowed to practice in this State. Their diplomas w’ere the stumbling blocks. The board admits graduates from certain colleges to practice without question, but when a candidate comes armed with a diploma from the Independent Medical College of Chicago there follow more questions than the candidate cares to answer. The members of the board ask leading questions, too, without reserve, as "Did you not know that this was a disreputable college of no standing?” One young man confessed that he went through a certain college because it was cheap and his means were limited. How far the board can go in this matter is a question. Three applications were denied and one granted. The board them went Into secret session. It will be tn session again to-day. when more applicants will be examined. The successful applicant above referred to is one of an alumni of a medical college of this city, now defunct Mr*. Elizabeth Baker’* Funeral. The funeral services of Mrs. Elizabeth Baker, who died suddenly Sunday afternoon, were conducted at the home of her daughter. Mrs. Frank Lackey, on Elliott street, yesterday afternoon. Her grandsons acted as pallbearers, amd Rev. 11. L. Henderson, pastor of the Hillside Christian Church, of which t(ie deceased was a member, preached the sermon. Herron. Jeweler, 37 S. Pennsylvania St

HUGE CLOUDS OF SMOKE iXSPECTOII BUNTING NOT OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED OF THEltt EXISTENCE. y Therefore the Ordinance I* Not Enforced—Mahoney Become* President of Common Council. Building Inspector Bunting is not disposed to make any effort to enforce the ordinance passed nine months ago to abate the smoke nuisance. This ordinance, introduced in Council Dec. 21, ISU6, by Councilman Rauch, was passed by the Council and approved by the mayor some time after. At first the members of the Council were disposed to think that the ordinance could not be enforced against railroads, and there was a proposition to exclude its application to them w-ithin a certain limit. Then there was a question as to whether the owners of buildings could secure adequate smoke consumers. It was found that an anti-smoke ordinance was being successfully enforced in Kansas City, another in Chicago and others in other places. The councilmen got around conflict with the railroads by providing in the ordinance that the emission of dense smoke from the chimney or smokestack “of ary building, exclusive of private residences,” shall be deemed to be a public nuisance. Section 2 of the ordinance provides: “The owner, or otvners, lessee or occupant of any building who shall permit or allow dense smoke to issue or to be emitted from the smokestack or chimney of any building within the corporate limits shall be held guilty of creating a nuisance, and the building inspector of the city of Indianapolis, upon information filed with him, shall serve upon any such owner, owners, lessee or occupant, notice to abate said nuisance within ten days’ time after the service of such notice, and upon the failure to so abate said nuisance within said time, upon affidavit being filed by the building inspector before the police Judge of the city of Indianapolis, said owner, owners, lessee or occupant shall be deemed and held guilty of willfully creating a nuisance, and shail for every such offense be fined in any sum not loss than $1 nor more than $25, and each day’s continuance of such nuisance after the expiration of said ten days’ notice shall be considered a separate offense.” Building Inspector Bunting's excuse for the nonenforcement of the ordinance is that no “informations” have been filed in his office. “The papers have been full of the subject,” wus suggested to him. "But people who are said to be annoyed by it have made no complaints to me. The ordinance requires me to act when complaints are made.” If there were any disposition on the part of the administration to enforce the ordinance every smokestack in the center of the city that is pouring out black volumes of smoke and filling the air with soot, begriming the soldiers' monument and the handsome new buildings, could be squelched inside of two w-eeks. It would be a very easy matter for some of tne numerous inspectors or police officers to call the building inspector’s attention to the fact that the air down town Is filled with the outpouring of smoke from business buildings.

MAHONEY ELECTED PRESIDENT. Special Connell Meeting—Bauer to Be it New Member. At a special meeting of the Council last night John H. Mahoney, one of the counoilmen at large, was chosen to be president of that body, vice Thomas J. Montgomery, who resigned his seat to become a member of the Board of Public Works. The meeting was called on the representations of Deputy City Attorney Bell, who held that Mr. Montgomery's resignation ought to be formally accepted in order to meet any questions that might be raised with reference to the validity of the actions of the board. Under Section 12 of the city charter, the vacancy in the office of councilmen at large, caused by tho resignation of Mr. Montgomery, must bo filled within thirty days after the formal resignation, at a special meeting of the Council, to be called by the mayor, with ten days’ notice of such special meeting, to elect a successor. It is understood that the mayor will to-day Issue a formal call for a meeting to be held some time week after next. The first regular meeting of the Council for the month of November is to be held next Monday night. E. H. Pritchard, a veterinary surgeon, living in the Seventh ward. Is the caucus nominee for the vacancy in the Council, but it is understood that Mayor Taggart has signed his commission as veterinary surgeon. and that as he Is to be appointed to this office, he will withdraw his name as candidate for councilman at large before the special meeting. In this event, it is understood that Joseph t’auer, a representative of the Home Brewing Company, will be chosen to* fill the vacancy. It all depends on whether Mr. Pritchard has been selected to be veterinary surgeon. While no forrnal announcement of his appointment is made, it is understood that Mayor Taggart has informed Mr. Bauer that it has been made, and has encouraged the latter to seek Mr. Montgomery's vacated seat on this representation, _ No Special Counsel to Be Employed. In a day or two City Attorney Kern will file the amended compUint in the street car case at Noblesville. Mr. Kern has informed the mayor that it will not be necessary to employ special counsel, as he is prepared to handle the litigation himself. The city attorney says that a proposition to submit the case to the court by agreement has not been suggested to him. He declared that, ho far as ne is concerned, the litigation will be fought to the end, in open court. Mayor Taggart said that he had not heard of such an agreement, and did not believe that it had been suggested. THE WORK COST $23,000. Improvement* of the Courthouse Yard About Completed. , It has cost the county about $23,000 to cut down the courthouse yard and make the Improvements incident to this change. With the exception of seeding the yard with blue grass, the work is almost complete. The commissioners yesterday made the final payment on the contract for the stratified stone work. This work was done by Peter Fritz, who drew the sum of S3UB as a last payment. _ Not Let to Lowest Bidder. The contract for the plumbing and gas fitting in the new Children’s Guardians’ Home at Irvington has been awarded by the County Commissioners to Freaney Bros., of this city, for $2,3'.6, There were live bids on the work, and the estimate of Freaney Bros, was not the lowest. The bid of Healey & O’Brien was considerably lower than the Freaney bid. Commissioner Greer said yesterday there were reasons why Healey & O’Brien did not get the work, it was claimed that Freaney Bros, did some work for the county some time ago and lost money on the job. For this reason the commissioners felt they 'Should have the present contract. Fire on Dorman Street. About 11 o’clock last night fire broke out tn a double frame dwelling at No. 210 Dorman street, occupied on one side by a family named Murry and on the other by Martin Donahue. The damage was estimated at $550. The blaze communicated to - the house of Helen Donahue, in the immediate neighborhood, and cause a twenty-five-dol-lar damage. A defective flue started the fire. Bieler YYh* Just Suspicion*. Hugh Mcßoberts, who claims he is a representative of a Chicago tailoring house, met George Bieler, of this city, yesterday afternoon in a saloon and invited him to take a ride in a buggv he had at the door. Bieler went with him and became suspicious that the Chicago man intended robbing him. He seized the reins and drove to the police station. The police were unable to' see any reason for detaining McRoberts. and he was allowed to go. University Club Plan*. A meeting Is to be held Oct. 30 to perfect the organization of the University Club in the Commercial clubrooms. George H. Batchelor, chairman of the committee on organization, says ’hat some misapprehension exists as to the purposes of the club. It is to be similar, he says, to clubs now existing ia New York, St. Louis, Chicago

and other cities. It is purely social ’u character. Over two hundred applications have already been received. It is the Intention to build a clubhouse, where college men may find congenial surroundings and have such privileges as a majority may desire to secure. The full scope of the club in this respect will be determined after the organization is completed. Membership is limited to those holding degrees from reputable academic or scientific colleges or universities. All those making application for membership prior to Oct. 30 will be regarded as charter members. STATE PRINTING CONTRACT. Bids to Be Received To-Day—Slack* of Old Books. The State Printing Board will be In session this morning from 11 to 12 o’clock to receive bids for the year’s printing. The bids will be received in two parts. Under one head will be the bids for general printing, binding and stationery, and under the other will come the bids for printing the Supreme and Appellate Court reports. From the Interest taken in the matter Secretary Carter thinks the competition will be lively. Bids will be opened at 12 o’clock. Governor Mount Is determined that the cost to the State of printing shall be. cut down if possible. Yesterday he made an exploration of the basement of the Statehouse, and found stacked away there thousands of volumes of books of a useless nature. which are printed and paid for by the State. He found the entire issue of the report of the state superintendent of public instruction of 1894, and thousands of copies of the ’’Documentary Journal of Indiana.” This latter book is considered absolutely useless, and there Is no demand for it. It comprises part of the reports of state officers and institutions which are printed separately, months before the documentary journal appears. It is the intention of the Governor to see if some of this work cannot be eliminated from the contract. A BREWERY SAFE BLOWN THE AFF*.4fR HAS BEEN KEPT QUIET SINCE LAST SUNDAY. Madison Brewing Company Lo*e* but $35 by the Operation—Police Tlilnk They Have a Clew.

The police are working on a safe-blowing affair which occurred some time Saturday night. An attempt has been made to keep the matter quiet, as it was believed that In this way a clew, which was discovered, might be more successfully followed. Nothing definite has resulted from the clew yet. Sunday morning, when the bookkeeper of the local branch of the Madison Brewing Company opened the office, he discovered that the safe had been blown open during the night. It contained only about $35 in cash, and this is ail the thieves took. There were some valuable papers and beer stamps, but they were not disturbed. The police were notified at once and have been working on the case ever since. The work is evidently that of men who have had some experience in that line of crime. The safe was bored and blown open with powder. To make sure of their work the burglars had broken into a Belt Railroad toolhouse and taken a crowbar and heavy spike hammer. It was evidently the intention of the thieves to use these in case the explosion did not throw the door entirely open. There was no need, however, of these tools, as the force of the explosion was terrific and tore the door off the safe and wrecked it completely. The Madison Brewing Company’s local depot and office is at present on New York street, east of the Belt road, and just outside the city limits. When the SI,OOO brewers’ license went into effect this company moved to West Indianapolis to escape the tax, and when that suburb became a part of the city another move was made to the present site. The place is in a sparselypopulated district, an ideal spot for the work of safe blowers. There are no houses near by and no one stays at the place over night. It thus happened that the explosion was not heard and the robbery was not known until the office was opened Sunday morning. The police claim to have a clew to the perpetrators of the robbery, and believe they will be able to arrest them. The Haekleman Monument. The Haekleman monument commissioners, consisting of John Q. Thomas, of Rushville; Colonel Oran Perry and Governor Mount, ex officio, will meet at the Governor’s office to-morrow morning at 10:30 o’clock to decide on monument plans to be submitted to the next Legislature!.
