AMUSEMENTS. ~ Fair Bank—Vaudeville. The new bill at the vaudeville theater In Fair Bank attracted, one of the best crowds of the season to the Fall creek resort last night. Several of the variety acts wire novelties and if given in a theater would have afforded more pronounced delight to the audience than was evinced by the mixture of aristocrats and hoi polloi found at Fair Bank. Charles Grapewin's act. containing some very clever pantomime work in connection with his deliniatiop of a nurlesque German character, was slightly over the heads of the people. Miss Annie Chance assisted him in an entertaining manner. It is a question if an out-door, audience cares for anything higher than the mOid grotesque Coney island nonsense with slap sticks, horse play apd noise for spice. The Olympic Quartet's burlesque colored military act went with a rush and tickled everyone, and the Monroe sisters were pleasing in their dances. Miss Edna Bassett Marshall received flattering recognition for her songs and gave Sousa's “Stars and Stripes” for an encore. There was much curiosity to see Miss Gertrude Haynes, the little Hoosier. in her difficult act of manipulating a trick orchestral organ with thir-ty-flve different musical appliances. The gifted little artist* was admitted a genius at once and,received applause both during and after her performance, but she should take out some of her Introductory talk. Miss Haynes needs an editor now that she has finished with her mUsical education. The present company remains at Fair Bank the rest of the week., with tnafioees on Wednesday and Saturday. Broad Itlpiile—"Clil me* of \nrmnndy." The Mttrkay Comic Opera Comptftyr presented the “Chimes of Normandy" in a very acceptable manner at the Broad Ripple Park Theater last night. Two fair-sized audiences witnessed the performance on Sunday, and the people weie pleased with the opera and the manner in which il was given. All the leading characters were in capable hands, the work of William Hick*, as Gaspard, being particularly good. Miss Isabel Sargent. Miss Nellie Woods. J. W. Fulton. Walter Thompson. Willard Bacon and John Williamson also took the chantc-

tern assigned to them In a very creditable manner. The opera will be given every night this week. lirnnd-Colored Minstrels. A benefit performance for the Benevolent Order of Colored Professionals was given at the Grand last night and brought out probably three score of professional colored singers, dancers and variety artists, who gave an excellent entertainment. Many of the star performers in the big colored organizations that have sprung up in recent years are found to be residents of Indianapolis and they all gave their “acts’’ at the Grand last night for the benefit of their lodge. The show was as good as anything in its class seen here during the winter HAWAII AND CANTEENS. Ministerial Association Expresses Itself l poll Hoth Subjects. The meeting of the Ministerial Association which was to have been a picnic at Fairvlew Park, was held yesterday at St. 'Paul's parish house, the arrangements for a picnic having failed. Dr. C. C. presided. A paper was to have been read by Dr. Dewhurst, but owing to a severe attack of laryngitis he was unable to read it, and it was postponed to Sept. 5, the first meeting after the summer vacation. In the absence of the paper the association indulged in the discussion of several questions of general interest. A proposition to censure Hon. H. U. Johnson, of the Richmond district, for Tfis opposition to the annexation of the Hawaiian islands was withdrawn as a matter of propriety, though all who spoke weie in favor of the annexation. A resolution was adopted unanimously authorizing the president and secretary, in the name of the association, to address President McKinley through Senator Fairbanks. remonstrating against canteens for the sale of intoxicants in the camps of soldiers. A resolution censuring the jail officers for alleged cruelty to prisoners, after extended discussion, was laid on the table by a very decided vote, the prevailing sentiment being that men who attack the jailer with loaded revolvers are not in condition to dictate the treatment they are entitled to on a forced surrender. Rev. T. A. Goodwin, chairman of the committee on arrangements for the annual picnic of the Methodist preachers' meeting at Fairview Paik. next Monday, invited c.” the members of the association, with tneir families, to join them. Dinner will :>? served at the pavilion at noon, and he requests that all who contemplate going inform him by next Thursday how many plates to provide for them.

BANK CASES QUASHED CREDITORS OF OLD NEW ALBANY BANK ARE STILL OUT fItIO.OOO. ♦ Indictment* Auxiust Hreyfogle, Wimlntanley nnd Fredericks Dismissed by Judge Gibson. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW ALBANY. Ind., June 6.—The creditors of the New' Albany Banking Company will appeal to the Supreme Court against the action to-day of Judge Gibson, of the Clark Circuit Court, in dismissing the indictments against. W. L. Breyfogle, I. S. W instand ley and Clarence Frederick, officials of the bank. whek were charged with embezzling the funds. One case against Winstandley has been carried to the Supreme Court. Five years ago to-day- the bank failed, and the depositors have been paid only 29 per cent, of their claims. Nearly SIOO,OOO is still due them. A dispatch from Jeffersonville, where the cases wore dismissed to-day by Judge Gibson. says: “After the failure, the defendants were arrested at the instigation of the stockholders. The trials and continuances have been stretched out for over two years, and great interest has been manifested in the case. It entered largely in the late. Democratic primaries in both Floyd and Clark counties. In Floyd county. Judge Herter was opposed for the nomination by Clarence Utz, the present prosecutor. The latter was successful, it was alleged largely as a result of many voters ’having it in’ for Judge Herter because of his connection with the Banking Company cases. In this county J. K. Marsh opposed Judge G. H. D. Gibson for the nomination for judge and was successful. It was claimed that the credltora'of the Banking Company also fought Judge Gibson. Several of the creditors say now they are not surprised at the action of Gibson. He dismissed the indictments on the grounds that they were detective in not alleging that the defendants rtceived money in the capacity of officers of the bank.’’ Social Democracy's New Scheme. Special to tne Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., June 6.—The colonization commission of the Social Democracy makes the announcement that the proposed establishment of colonies looking toward a co-operative commonwealth has been temporarily abandoned. The financial agencies which had promised to float the bonds that were to be issued on the land now say the war has made it inexpedient to float the bonds at present. The commission says that in view of this condition a proposition which had been held in reserve as an auxiliary movement will bp taken up at once. This is for the purchase of 560 acres of aold-mining lands in Colorado. The proposition comes from H. C. Childs, v.ho is termed a "veteran Socialist," and who is a mining expert. Commisfsioner Willard is now in Denver closing the negotiations. The property is to be paid for, $3,000 in sixty days, $2,000 in ninety days and bonds amounting to $95,000 bearing 5 per cent, interest and running twenty years. The Social Democracy is to have the right to issue SIOO,OOO additional bonds. With the proceeds the mines will be developed and a colony established nearby on agricultural land. Bine River Fish Poisoned. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MORRISTOWN. Ind., June 6.—The discharging of the vast quantity of refuse into Blue river from the Carthage strawboard works and the consequent killing of the fish and ruining of the water for the stock has caused a great deal of ill feeling on the part of the farmers along the course of the river, not only against the strawboard company, but Z. T. Sweeney, state fish commissioner, as well. The contents of the reservoir have been emptied into the river several times previously, and on the last time several complaints were made to Rev. Sweeney. He accepted the statement of the company that it was merely at/accident, and paid no further attention to the matter. He is strongly censured for not having done anything to remedy the evil. Blue river used to be one of the finest fishing streams in the State, but now the edges of the river banks are lined with dead and dying fish. Decomposition setting in gives the agreeable odor which the farmers so much desire Mr. Sweeney to receive.

REVOLUTION IN VENEZUELA. Government Foree* Said to Hurt Been Routed In Two Battle*. NEW YORK, June 6.—A dispatch to the Herald from Panama says: News from various sources received via Carthagena indicates that the revolution in progress in Venezuela, headed by the Conservative leader, Mocho Hernardez. despite official reports, seem to be formidable and daily gaining headway. A correspondent in Caracas says that the government forces in El Cuehillo were completely routed, and that many deserters had arrived at Barbacoas. The news from Maracaibo is to the effect that the government forces w r ere dispersed after the battle of Aguablanca by the rebel leader Herijandez. A Frenchman named Julio Brun was killed during a skirmish at Santa Barbara. Brun was manager of the Franco-Vene-zuelan Railroad Company. The body was brought to Taraicas for interment. It is reported that Francis Quiro Garcia's band has surrendered to the government forces with honor, the officers keeping their side arms. According to the lattst advices from the Guaripali camp, the rebel general Brlclno's forces, after being defeated, fled, and are now trying to join the forces under Hernandez. They were actively pursued by General Ferrer, and many prisoners of war were taken. General Antonio Fernandez, the minister of war. has left for his department at Coro, the seat and hotbed of the revolution. Recently the well-known general.

LITTLE IS SNUFFED OUT +. HIS ORDINANCE TO KKUK E WATER KATES GOES BY THE BO Alt U. * Ordinnnre to Help Firemen, with nn Impossible “if" in It—Board ReMCtndn Park Resolutions. * At a meeting of the Council last night Mr. Little s ordinance reducing the rates of the Indianapolis Water Company 10 per cent, was referred to the Board of Public Works, though its writer made a strong fight to prevent the action. Mr. Little offered the minority report of the committee on contracts and franchises, to which the ordinance had been referred, and he was the only signer. Mr. Colter moved that the minority report be laid on the table. He said: “We passed the gas ordinance, and it did no good. Let us allow the Board of Works a chance at the water ordinance, and if it does nothing it will be time enough for us to take it up.” To this Mr. Little replied that the Board of Public Works rightly has nothing to do with the ordinance, for the reason that it is not a contract. In support of his statement he presented a long letter from City Attorney Kern to the effect that the ordinance was ready to be passed by the Council, there being no legal objection to It. Mr. Little said: “It is just and right that the outrageous water rates should be cut. Why net dispense with the expensive services of the city attorney if members of the Council are more learned in law than he?” The report was tabled. The majority report of the committee was then introduced and was adopted. The report states that it would be much more expeditious if the Board of Works were allowed to make some agreement about the reduction of water rates with the water company than for the Council to pass an ordinance which would cause the delay necessary for action of a board of arbitration and possible litigation. When the contract, which was signed by the Board of Public Works yesterday morning, allowing the C., H. & I. Railroad to lay three additional tracks across New Jersey street, came up in the Council there was a struggle between members of different committees to secure the contract for consideration. Mr. Higgins moved that it be referred to the committee on streets and alleys. It was given into the hands of the committee on contracts and franchises. Mr. Higgins thereupon arose and said: "I want to explain my vote. I didn’t want no grab one way or another.” And afterward: “We all know' who gets the grabs when there are any coming.” An ordinance in a very few W'ords was introduced by Mr. Little to advance the wages of firemen 10 per cent, “if there is enough money in the city treasury to pay the advance.” The ordinance was referred to the' committee on fees and salaries. The report of the committee on elections, which had heen working on the nomination of officers for the election of school commissioners in the Fourth, Seventh and Kighth districts, was adopted. It is as follows : Fourth District—lnspector. George Killinger; judges, Pharles Ray and Frank Hubbard; clerks, Gustave Frobinius and Jos. Broyles: voting place, school No. 4, Blackford and Michigan streets. Seventh District—lnspector. Joseph Behringer: judges, Jacob €. Hinckley ana Chas. H. Taylor; clerks. Robert Tout and Richard fiwinn: voting place, school No. 7, Bates and Benton streets. Eighth District—lnspector, Henry Stolte; judges, Andrew Keller and John J. Ray; clerks, John Smith and William Kuerman; voting place, Virginia avenue and Huron street. It was stated that during the meeting of the committee Mr. Clark had been “turned down” by Mr. Scunlon, the other Democratic member. It was told that Mr. Scanlon had asked Mr. Bowser, the Republican member, what his nominations were, then combined them with his own and the two members of the committee accepted them without Mr. Scanlon having asked for Mr. Clark’s opinion. Mr. Clark was observed after the close of the session muttering about his rights, and he and Mr. Scanlon had some warm words about the matter. An ordinance changing the name of Andrews street to Dewey avenue was passed. Mr. Shaffer voted against it because, as he said, “the street is too little for the man.” During the whole of the session several of the councilmen saw fit to indulge in horse play to such an extent that one member became disgusted and protested, "Say, this ain’t no child’s play.”

RESOLUTIONS. RESCINDED. Official Action Declaring the Fall Creek System All Off. The Board of Public Works yesterday rescinded action on the resolutions condemning land for the Fall creek and White river park system, and unless the unexpected happens this disastrous course will not again be pursued. If it is decided that parks northwest of the city are to be built the land will be bought outright from the owners. Those who desire to be convinced have no trouble in understanding that the board has no right to condemn land for park purposes. Attorneys advised the city administration of this condition, but the city officers went ahead with the matter as if the law were no obstacle worthy of consideration. An afternoon paper has been suggesting all kiijds of plans for a northwest park system from boulevards to two-hundred-acre lakes, but the opposition to paying out money for parks situated far outside of the'city is steadily growing. It is pointed out that parks are not alone for people who can afford horses and carriages, but are breathing spots for the poorer classes. The proposition is strongly advanced that the park fund be used for purchasing aad improving land In the city. Asa reminder it is stated that the money was supposed to have been borrowed for parks for the people of the city of Indianapolis, and not for the farmers in the northwest corner of the county. The city is paying interest on the SoO.MO.and it is insisted that the city some day get benetlt from the money, and not the people of Emrichsville or some other northwest hamlet.
