Sister Parthel, of St. Vincent's Hospital of this city. left yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock for the military hospital at Montauk, Long island, where she will join •then* of her denomination. From New York this band of nurses, numbering about one hundred, from all of the principal Catholic institutions over the country, will proceed directly to Shafter’a army in Cuba, where their aid is greatly needed. It Is said that an appeal was made to the mother superior at Baltimore, and one sister from each of the larger institutions over the country was detailed for the duty. When the need was made known at the hospital here every sister volunteered and Bister Parthel was considered fortunate to be the one chosen. The sister's name is Revina Parthel, and before becoming a Sister of Charity her home was in Milwaukee, where, it Is said, her parents are sUU Uving.

SURE OF IMMENSE CROWD BIG FOI R WILL HANDLE TEX FILL TRAINS FROM OTHER ROADS. One from Boston Alone—lndiana Expected to Have Fourteen Thousand Men in the Parade. The Big Four transportation department has received notice from connecting lines, of the delivery of ten full special trains, on Sunday and Monday, of K. of P. people, and of fifty-two special coaches and Wagner cars, bringing posts from distant points. On their own line, H. M. Bronson, assistant general passenger agent, says every ear the company owns will be required to handle the lodges and the friends who accompany them. On Sunday, at 10:45 a. m., a special train of fourteen cars will leave Boston for Indianapolis. Although the Uniform Rank will be here by the thousands next week it will be in the minority, as compared to the members of the subordinate lodges who are not members of the rank. The camp for the rank is now complete and in readiness to receive its guests. The canvas houses have gone up rapidly during the last week and with the arrangements for water supply, electric lighting, etc., it is one of the largest and most complete camps ever seen around Indianapolis. The prizes which will be given to the Indiana lodges having the largest percentage of membership in line In the parade, has proved a big inducement for a large turnout from this State. It is claimed Indiana will have about fourteen thousand men in the parade, of which number about four thousand will be in full uniform. Most of the towns throughout the State have written to headquarters for accommodations for exceptionally large delegations. Muncie will send several hundred and w r ill bring a band. Shelbyville has asked for room for two hundred, and Noblesville, Sheridan, Centerville, Knightstown and nearly every city and town in the State has promised a correspondingly large turnout. The larger places, such as Terre Haute, Fort Wayne and Evansville, do not yet know just the number they will send, but these places wall not be behind the other cities. All of the surrounding States will have nearly as good representation as Indiana. Detroit will send down a big crowd, headed by a band, and will make a gallant fight for the 1900 encampment. Covington, Ky., will send 162 knights in full uniform, and it will not be doing any better than its sister cities. Indianapolis alone will have in the nefghborhood of one thousand knights in line, and Marion county will have ten lodges In the parade. The Supreme Temple of the Rathbone Sisters will also meet in this city next week. There are about twenty-five thousand sisters in this department of the order, and about five times that number of knights are enrolled in its membership. Indiana has 175 temples, with 5,500 sisters and three thousand knights. Mrs. Ida M. Weaver, the supreme chief, will arrive next Monday morning and establish headquarters at English's Hotel for the Supreme Temple. Monday, most of the delegations will arrive and the day will be taken up assigning them to th3ir hotels and stopping places. The headquarters of the Grand Temple and the information bureau will be at the New York store. Competitive initiation drills will be held at Masonic Hall on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. A reception will be given the supreme chief and her staff at English's Hotel Tuesday, and Wednesday evening a general reception will be given the Rathbone Sisters. The business of the temple begins at the Propylaeum Wednesday morning. Thursday afternoon a trip will be made to Broad Hippie and at 6 o'clock Camp Colgrove will be visited. Friday the Supreme Temple will elect officers, and in the evening public installation ceremonies will be held at Masonic Hall. The railroad rates for the K. of P. encampment will be as follows: Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Aug. 20, 21 and 22, 1 cent a mile, good returning all week. This includes all parts of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. Tuesday. 1 cent a mile on all morning trains In Indiana, good returning only on same day. Wednesday and Thursday, Aug. 24 and 25, one and one-third fare for round trip for all points within a radius of seventy-five miles of Indianapolis. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Its Final Meeting—Statns of Parade Membership. The Knights of Pythias executive committee held Its last regular meeting before the encampment last night and added the finishing touches to the immense work it has carried on in preparing for the hundred thousand visitors expected in the city next week. The work done was mostly routine. E. J. McAllister, w r ho is superintending the illumination of the monument, was before the committee and recommended that the north and south ends of the scaffolding on the monument be covered with white duck, to give the appearance of stone at night. A contract for the work was awarded. An important change was made in the plans of awarding the percentage prizes in the competition of subordinate lodges participating in the parade next Tuesday. The rule that only members who were in good standing at the time of the semi-annual report of June 30 could be counted was deemed a bad one, for the reason that It destroyed the incentive for recruiting. Some lodges have taken in a number of new members on account of the coming encampment and it was thought best to allow all who are in good standing now to compete. The basis of membership will still be the report of June 30, and it Is possible, under the conditions, for a lodge to have more than 100 per cent, of its members In line; but the plan works alike upon all and is considered fairer than the first proposed. Under the subject of souvenirs it developed that there will be only 1,300 of the bronze official souvenir badges for general sale. They will not be sold on the streets and can be had only at the following stores: Louis G. Deschler, three stores; F. M. Herron, North Pennsylvania street; John Wimmer. North Pennsylvania street; Henry J. Huder, Washington and Pennsylvania; P. J. O’Meara, Meridian and Circle; C. W. Kriel, two stores; S. P. Stoddard, South Illinois street; H. A. Comstock, East Washington street; Julius C. Walk, East Washington street; William F. Boeckhoff, E. O, Winterrowd, Monument place; H. J. Craig, Monument place, and H. C. Pomeroy, Market and Pennsylvania streets. Mr. Rurford reported that the souvenir book will he ready for distribution to-day. There will be a limited number of these to be sold to the general public. The book Is of handsome design and contains about one hundred pages of information and many fine views and portraits. It was decided to fix the price of admission to Newby Oval during the prize drills at 25 cents to everybody, no seats being reserved. The time for the formal opening of the camp was changed from 5 o'clock Monday afternoon to 4:30 'o’clock. C. S. Denny will represent the executive committee in presenting Camp Colgrove to the command-er-in-chief and the major general. The finance committee was authorized to take any steps deemed advisable to enforce the collection of unpaid subscriptions to the encampment fund. John S. reported that the Central Traffic Association had made a rate of 1 cent a mile for Tuesday from Ohio and Illinois, as well as Indiana points. A resolution was adopted thanking the Indianapolis Water Company, Knight & Jillson, the McOoy-Howe Company and the property owners in and about Camp Colgrove for the favors granted in and about Camp Colgrove in connection with the encampment. Dr. Earp, chairman of the committee on medical relief, announced that members of his committee can secure their badges by calling at his office any time to-day. Miss Hurley will be there all day. Visitors Arriving. Col. Charles H. Geiger, of Wheeling, W. Va., commander of the Weat Virginia brigade, is here in advance of the knights from that State. He is stopping at the Hotel English. He expects a good turnout from his Slate. Mrs. M. D. Wood, of Kansas City. Mo., supreme mistress of record and correspondence of the Rathbone Sisters, is also at

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, AUGUST ZO, 1838.

English’s Hotel. Mrs. Wood anticipates a largo and enthusiastic meeting of the Rathbone Sisters. THE ELECTION COMMISSIONERS. Greene Smith Said to Be Chosen by Chairman Martin. It is understood that Parks M. Martin, chairman of the Democratic state committee, has selected Alonzo G. Smith as the Democratic member of the board of election commissioners. Mr. Martin is out of the city and Secretary Wampler said yesterday he did not know who Mr. Martin had selected. Chairman Hernly, of the Republican committee, said, before leaving the city yesterday, that the Republican member had not been chosen. There is gossip among the politicians to the effect that Jefferson H. Claypool will be selected. R. O. Hawkins, who was formerly the Republican member, is now a member of the state executive committee. FINE GRUB OFF MANILA W. B. ORNER. AX INDIANAPOLIS BOY, OF THE BALTIMORE, WRITES. - ■—4 Insurgents ns Poor Shots as Spaniards, but Have Ten Times the Grit* Mrs. M. B. Orner yesterday received a letter from her son, W. B. Orner, on board the cruiser Baltimore, at Manila. The letier contains considerable of interest about matters in the Philippines and was written cn.July 20. It is as follows.-“To-morrow the City of Sidney leaves for the States, and I will send you a few lines, but there is little of importance to write about. Last Sunday, the 17th, we received the news of Sampson’s victory, and it is the best news we have received since we have been here. The flagship signaled it to the fleet at 3:30 o’clock Sunday afternoon, and the cheers that went up were greater than they were on the day of our own victory. “The second lot of troops arrived some time ago, and we are now waiting for the last and final lot, when we will transact a little business with the city of Manila. Fighting is continually going on between the rebels and the Spaniards on shore, and it is quite interesting to watch them from the ship. The insurgents are certainly doing great fighting against terrible odds, but appearances indicate that they are but little better shots than the Spaniards; yet they have ten times the grit. “The news of the victory east has led us to believe that the war will soon teiminate, and we have been congratulating ourselves on getting back to the States at an early date, but we will consider ourselves lucky If we get there by Christmas. “We are living excellently, and the health of the crews continues good, there being very few on the sick lists. This ship is sending three men home to-morrow, but their cases are from natural causes, and not the result of climate or injuries received. “Our government is furnishing us meat and provisions from Australia by refrigerator steamers, and It is of excellent quality. Trading steamers from Hong-Kong supply us with groceries at a very reasonable figure, and the natives bring fruit alongside by the boatload, so you see we are living very high. “We are daily expecting the Monterey, and she will be a big addition to our fleet, but we w’ill hardly need her now, as the Spanish fleet has returned to Spain. "All sorts of guesses are being made as to how much prize money we are going to get for what we have captured and destroyed here. Some of the estimates run as high as SI,OOO and some as low as SSO, but I am not posted on prize laws and can make no guess at what it will be. It is said that the destruction and capture here amounts to $12,000,000. This, of course, includes the navy yard and plant at Cavite. "I suppose you received the account of the. battle that I sent you. I saw nothing or the first engagement, but I saw the second one. and I had to obtain the data of the first one from the people who were on deck. I had to be at my station in the engine room during the first battle.” DEBT OF NEARLY $300,000 IT WILL CONFRONT THE SCHOOL BOARD NEXT JUNE. Estimate* of Receipts and Expendl* tures—New Music Supervisor from Sew York. In accordance with the rules of the School Board the committee on finance and auditing at the meeting last night made a report of the receipts and expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, together with a list of appropriations which will be required for the maintenance of the schools and library for the coming year. The estimates for the year ending next June are: July 1, IS9B, balance In treasury $48,198.67 Estimated receipts— Special fund $388,160.00 Manual training fund 55,100.00 Library fund 47,280.00 Tuition fund 143.571.32 Gregg fund 1,500.00—5638,611.32 Total $686,809.99 Estimated expenditures— Special fund $211,276.77 Manual training fund 56,967.27 Library fund 46,142,50 Tuition fund 382.636.98 Gregg fund 1,500.00—5698,523.52 July 1, 1899, deficit $11,716.53 The committee in its report pointed out that the above estimated deficit of $11,716.53, with the building bonds of SBO,OOO maturing July 1, 1899, and the present temporary loan of $200,000 due June 30, 1899, will have to be provided for. The committee recommended that the appropriations be made on the basis of the above estimates. The report of the committee will come up for consideration at the next meeting of the board. Superintendent Goss in a report to the board showed that the average enrollment of pupils for 1898 was 3,795 more than in 1897. The superintendent thinks this increase is largely due to the operation of the truant law. The board instructed the committee on buildings and grounds to look into the condition of the sidewalks on East Tenth street near school No. 54. It is claimed the Tenthstreet sidewalks end at Rural street and during wet weather children are compelled to wade in the mud and water in order to reach the school. Celeste Roben was elected a teacher in the district school, subject to assignment by the superintendent. Ida Geary was appointed assistant principal at school No. 9 and Rachel Segar was selected to be principal of school No. 47. The board announced the appointment of Helen M. Place to the position of supervisor of music of the city schools at a salary of $1,200 a year. Miss Leila Parr is to become assistant supervisor at a salary of SI,OOO. Miss Place comes highly recommended from Auburn, N. Y. She is to succeed Mrs. Perle Wilkinson, who resigned. Miss Parr comes from Trenton, N. J. The following teachers w f ere appointed for the High and Industrial Training schools: Fish Allen, SBOO a year: Harriet Robison, SBOO a year: Clara D. Fox, SBOO a year. Minnie Buehlcr will he teacher of stenography and Edward Davis and Ralph Killiker will assist in the department of physics. Dog Show Man and War Revenue. Miles A. Ashton, proprietor of a dog and pony show', was arrested at the Greenfield fair yesterday morning by Deputy United States Marshal Boyd for violating the war revenue law and brought here for a hearing. He had failed to take out a $lO license for his show. He was held to the grand jury, hut released on furnishing a bond for SIOO. Ashton appeared more unfortunate than culpable to the federal officials. Ho claimed to have been In doubt as to whether he was required to take out a license, and said he had written for information to a revenue collector, but had failed to receive any reply up to the time of his arrest. Ashton had been playing in hard luck. The early part of the week rain prevented him from doing any good. Yesterday there was a big crowd and he expected to retrieve his fortunes somewhat when the arrest occurred. He left here in time, however, to spend most of the afternoon at his show. He paid the fee before leaving.

WOMEN ARE INDIGNANT ♦ THEY, TOO, WANT TREATMENT OF BATTERY A INVESTIGATED. Sleeting; of the Soldiers' Aid Society Yesterday—Colored Troops and Santiago. There was a large meeting held yesterday morning by the Soldiers’ Aid Society in the woman’s department of the Indiana Trust Company. It was in the interest of the Indiana soldiers and in the nature of an indignation meeting at the treatment accorded the Light Artillery soldiers on the transport. There was scarcely a woman present who is not a mother, wife or sister of seme soldier who has written of the terrible conditions, and. many extracts of letters were read or talked about. There is no disposition to censure until the responsibility is located. A committee consisting of three members of the society and three citizens, including Mrs. Grace Julian Clark, Mrs. John W. Kern and Mrs. F. A. Kleinsehmidt, with Governor Mount, Senator Turpie and Mr. John L. Griffiths, was appointed to send a protest to the War Department regarding the treatment of the soldiers. The Indiana Soldiers’ Aid Society promises to be one of benefit. It was started by the ladies, who at first confined their efforts for Battery A. It is hoped that every loyal and patriotic woman in the State will become a member and assist in the work undertaken by the society for Indiana's sick soldiers. Nothing will be sent except by the orders of the colonel of the regiment, as many things have been sent that have not been available. A letter was read that was received yesterday morning by Mrs. John L. Griffiths from Colonel Durbin. He asks for canned fruits, jellies, pickles, lemon and fruit juices, towels, sheets, rubber pillows and bed ticks. Any of these articles may be sent this morning to the residence of Mrs. John L. Griffiths, No. 1014 North Delaware street, and they will be forwarded at once to the front, where they will be used for the men who are sick in the hospitals and in the camps. The women are enthusiastic about the work and are ready to meet all demands from the army. A committee was also appointed to wait on the Governor to urge the immediate selection of an agent to go to the camps and attend to getting the sick soldiers home. This committee is Mrs. O. 11. Palmer, Mrs. Irene V. Webb and Mrs. R. O. Hawkins. WANTS SOMETHING TANGIBLE. Governor Not Ready to Act on the Newspaper Reports. Governor Mount had just returned to the city last night when he was asked if he intended to take any cognizance of complaints of unnecessary privations made by members of the Indianapolis Light Artillery in letters that have been published in the Journal. The Governor said that as he had been away he had not had an opportunity to read the letters that have been sent home, and was not in a position to discuss the question until he was more fully advised as to the nature of the complaints. The Governor is not disposed to interfere in such matters upon newspaper reports. He is besieged with all sorts of requests to “investigate” rumors and reports, and will expect in the future to require something tangible put before him before taking up complaints. He said, jhowever, that if it came to his knowledge that abuses had existed which ought to be investigated he would take whatever steps were proper. COLORED TROOPS STILL WAIT. No Further Word us to the Trip to Santiago. No move Las been made as yet looking to the moving of-the two colored companies now at Camp Mount. It is supposed the government has not completed arrangements for sending them to Santiago and the query sent a week ago to the Governor was for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the men themselves wished to go there, after all the talk concerning the unhealthfulness of the country around Santiago. As soon as ihe Governor could communicate with ihe men he learned they were not only ready but anxious to go, and at once wired the intelligence *o the government. Since that time nothing has been heard from Washington, but Lieutenant Waterman oelieves arrangement- arc being completed for boats to take the two Indiana companies, with such other colored troops as may express a willingness to go of their own will. To Bring; 157th Indiana Here. A telephone message received at the Governor’s office from Elkhart yesterday gave the information that a petition was being circulated urging the War Department to transfer the camp of the One-hundred-and-flfty-seventh Regiment to this city from Fernandina, Fla., instead of to Huntsville, Ala., as contemplated. The Governor was requested to co-operate with the citizens of the Twelfth and Thirteenth districts, within which the regiment was organized. Parents of the young men in the regiment are anxious that they be brought to a more healthful climate, inasmuch as they are never to see active service. Special Case for Spanish War “Vets.” Adjutant General Gore has placed anew case in his office, in which the war records, muster rolls and other data in connection with the Indiana troops that served in the present war will be filed. SUGGESTS A BUNCO GAME. President Potter Says L. A. W. Meet Was as Large as Expected. President Potter, of the L. A. W., wrs interviewed as to the Indianapolis meet by the New York Sun after he returned East, and if what is said is true it seems a huge bunco game was worked on Indianapolis in parading the annual meet as a national gathering. It is doubtful if as many as one thousand people were brought here by the meet. Says the New York Sun: “Reports concerning the attendance at the national meet and the success of the event vary radically. Some members who went to Indianapolis and whose statements should be reliable nave said that the attendance was very light and that the general feeling was one of disappointment. President Potter returned to New York yesteiday and pitched into a stack of mail two feet high. According to him the meet was the largest ever held in the West or middle West, with more visitors from the Eastern and Western coast cities than were at Louisville in 1896. “ 'The attendance was all that could have been expected,’ says the president of the league. ‘Those with whom I talked expressed themselves as satisfied. We had a fine time, and the Indiana division added largely to its membership. We had a meeting of the local organization committee, and a number of plans were formulated for prosecuting the work. If we had perfect local organizations national meets and ill others would he rousing affairs. Suppose the members of the league at New York. Indianapolis, Buffalo, Boston and all of the large cities were in close touch with each other, as the members of a club are. They would make up large delegations to go to the meets, and, being in a body, a much better time would be spent than if they siraggled along singly. Now. the New York men have to make up their minds, each one for himself, whether to go or not. If they co-operated it w'ould he very different. The members from Indianapolis would say: "Well, those Boston chaps, or Buffalo fellows. or New York men, as the case might be, were all right while they were herewe will go to the meet when it is held there.” The league is too large to move harmoniously and fraternize thoroughly, except through local organization. To every one who tried to talk politics with me I answered that I had nothing to say. There is too much work to be done by the league for us to be hampered now by political talk. It is six months and more before election, and the best work of the year remains to be done.’ “Every New Yorker who ivas at the meet agrees that the hospitality proffered by the Hocsiers was great. Nothing was too good for the visitors, and in many respects the welcome during all the week was the warmest ever received at a national meet.” The Sun also calls attention to the great slump in I*. A. W. membership in Pennsylvania, as shown by the official returns. This

is the time when the 2,400 members who joined at the national meet at Philadelphia should renew, but they are not doing it. Incorporations. In many parts of the State companies are organizing to connect two or more towns with electric railways. Yesterday the Northern Traction Company, capital $150,000, filed articles of incorporation in the office of Secretary of State Owen. This company is to build lines iri Laporte and Michigan City and towns between them. John W. Lovett, William W. Huffman, Clement W. and W. E. Hopven and George Nichol are the incorporators. The National Furniture and Stove Company, of this city, was also incorporated by James Renihan, Mary Renihan, Harvey Green, Stephen J. Ward and Daniel A. Sweeney. The capital of this concern is given at SIO,OOO. Notice of the increase of the capital stock of the I-'ort Harrison Savings Association from $300,000 to $500,000 was filed. At Wilder's Brigade Reunion. Governor Mount arrived home last night from Greenup, 111., where he attended the reunion of Wilder’s brigade. There was an immense crowd and the reunion was one of the most successful of the kind ever held. The crowd at the fair grounds was so large that it was necessary to have two speakers’ stands, from which Governor Black, commander of the G. A. R., Governor Mount and other speakers addressed the crowds. Seaton the llntter. 29 North Pennsylvania street. LAKE MAXIXKUCKEE. sll.oo—Round Trip—sl.oo, Via Pennsylvania Lines, Sunday, Aug. 28.
