“A. BRICK” IN THE RACE ♦- NOVEL FEATURE OF THE THIRTEENTH DISTRICT CAMPAIGN. e Extensive Preparntlon for the Carthage Meeting—Chairman Hernly’s Visit to Northern Indiana. * The Republicans of Carthage are expecting to have a big open-air meeting to-mor-row afternoon and night. A number of Indianapolis Republicans will attend. State Chairman Hernly and several members of the committee will go from here. Mr. Hernly is to preside over the meeting. At the afternoon meeting J. Frank Hanly, candidate for United States Senator, will be the speaker. Mr. Hanly in 1896 achieved quite a reputation as an orator. He is one of the most vigorous among the Indiana campaigners, and the Republican state committee expects to call on him to do much work this fall. His ideas are always clearly presented in an eloquent manner that stirs an audience. While the meeting at Carthage is not the formal opening <?f the campaign, it is expected If will be one of especial interest. At night James EL Watson, candidate for Congress, another of the forcible orators of the State, will speak. So eager are the Republican candidates for the campaign that they are not awaiting the formal opening of the fight, but are already hard at work. Yesterday State Chairman Hernly returned from the northern part of the State. While away he was in the Thirteenth district. Notwithstanding the Intense heat he found Abraham Brick, candidate for Congress, “hustling.” Mr. Brick has already held several meetings at which the interest was most pronounced. His friends are wearing novel badges to show to whom their allegiance is pledged. The badges are little red bricks with the initial “A” on them, and are attached to the coat lapels with red, white and blue ribbon. The reading of the badge, “A Brick,” is striking. While away Mr. Hernly also visited the Tenth district, where he found as much interest as anywhere else. At present the state chairman is interested in the congressional organization, and wherever he goes he finds that Republican organizations are on the boom and conditions in as good or better shape than ever before, notwithstanding that this is a so-called off year.” Details for the formal opening of the campaign have not been completed. It will occur about the middle of the month. General Harrson is in the East busily engaged with the Venezuelan matter, and will hardly be home before October. When he arrives it is understood he will take part in the campaign. The chairman is relying on Senator Fairbanks, Governor Mount, R. S. Taylor, J. Frank Hanly and other prominent Republicans to assist in the campaign. How much time Mr. Fairbanks can devote will depend somewhat on his duties as chairman of the international commission that is looking into the subject of an Amerlcan-Cana-dian treaty. Dr. Pnrnlii at Valuable Man. Dr. H. W. Furniss, of this city, consul at Bahia, Brazil, is proving a very valuable man for the place he occupies, from all accounts. A number of Indiana manufacturers w r ere anxious to know what sort of a market was to be found In Brazil for flour and other cereal food products. They wrote to Dr, Furniss, who very promptly furnished them complete anu encouraging information. Some of the Indiana men have written Senator Fairbanks expressing their appreciation of Dr. Furniss’s efforts to give the information asked. In a letter to Senator Fairbanks Dr. Furniss expresses an ambition to see a large part of the trade that goes to foreign countries swung around to the United States. Ballots for Voters. Over thirty of the ninety-two counties of the State have sent In the blanks containing information as to the number of voters for whom ballots will have to be prepared next November. Secretary Carter, of the state printing board, has not tabulated the reports as yet, so that it is not known how much of an increase or decrease there is over two years ago. The blanks will all have been returned, it is believed, by the last of the week. Early next week the board will meet to take further aotion. Senator Fairbanks Coming Home. Senator Fairbanks is expected home some time next week. At his office it is understood he W’ill leave Canada to-morrow. If he comes directly home he should arrive by Monday or Tuesday. The next session of the international commission, as the Brit-Ish-American Joint-high commission is now known, It is understood will meet Sept. 22. Popnlists Will Not Foie. The committee of Marion county Populists have agreed to issue a call for a county, legislative and township convention and has selected a committee to confer with the Johnson county Populists in regard to the time and place of holding a congressional convention. THE POLICE AND GAMBLING. Watch Eagle’s Nest, but Rahke Has a Full Swing. In light of the fact that open gambling houses and all-night saloons have been in opeiation down town for a long time an article in the Sentinel scoring Sheriff Shufelton for not closing The Farm, conducted by the notorious Gus Rahke near the fair grounds, furnished umusement yesterday. The Farm scandal was described in the Journal last Monday. The police have jurisdiction over this place, and frequently look after the state fair grounds, which is Just beyond The Farm. To show that the police recognize their power to close these places, the action of the police in watching Eagle’s Nest, another of these vile dens beyond the city limits, is cited. A robbery there this week prompted the police to take the place unde** surveillance. The police have not molested Rahke at The Farm, nor did they interfere with him while he was running a gambling house in the heart of the city last week. Another gambling house, which had Its front windows throw’n wide open to the street at night last week, is just thirty feet south of the Sentinel office. It is understood that the lease on The Farm closed last night, or at least that is the statement made by the promoters in getting under cover for a few’ days. Secretary Kennedy, of the State Board of Agriculture, says he has positive assurance the place will not be run during the state fair. Superintendent Quigley expressed the opinion yesterday that these roadhouses are a curse to the cummunity and that they should be closed. He admitted that in emergencies his jurisdiction would cover these places, but said that he believed it the more direct business of the sheriff to attend to such matters. Said he: “The police department is scarcely large enough to patrol the city let alone the outside districts. It is necessary often now to take men from the more remote parts of the city and detail them for the greater part of the night or day, as the case may be, down in town where many officers are needed. Since the first of the year five vacancies have occurred in this department and each vacancy still remains. I would like to have twice the men now under my control and then I might think of going four miles into the country to stop violations of the law.” Sheriff Shufelton, when seen yesterday afternoon, expressed himself as caring nothing for the uttacks, prompted by politics, which have been made against him. He declined to give the matter the standing that an expression would indicate. “You might say, however,” ho added, "that I don’t know that It would be safe for me to send my deputies to these places. The police might arrest them. You know they have done such things. Where there Is any glory to be obtained, or where the record or the department may be strengthened, the police are willing enough to go anywhere, but when It Is a mere question of angering a few gamblers and gaining their iil-wlll for the next election, why they are not there.” Deputy Sheriff V. Policemen. Justice Nickerson yesterday had before him Patrolman Bert Miller on a charge of assault and battery. Last Sunday morning Millar aided In the arreat of Deputy Sheriff

Carter. The latter asserted that Miller struck him in the face. Patrolman Miller and Patrolman White, who was present at the time, both testified that Carter was mistaken in charging that Miller struck him. Justice Nickerson has the case under advisement. CHILDREN'S DAY TUESDAY. President Downing Says There Is No Desire to Exhibit Soldiers. The State Board of Agriculture, following its usual custom, has made Tuesday of the state fair children’s day. The old soldiers, too, will be admitted on this day without charge. Children must be properly accompanied by parents or guardians. No other especial days have been named, but the general desire of the board is that Wednesday be observed as Indianapolis day, especially when it comes to attending the evening performance of the naval spectacle “The Battle of Manila.” The race programme for children's day will be equal in interest to the cards of the other days of the week. The florists of the city and surrounding towns have taken an unusual interest in the horticultural display. On Thursday there will be a big display of cut flowers in horticultural hall. On Wednesday, as well as Thursday, there will be prize contests in this department. All exhibits in all departments will be in place Monday, Sept. 12. Charles Downing, president of the State Board of Agriculture, Baid, yesterday, that there was no desire on the part of the board, when the fair grounds were offered for the volunteer soldiers, to have the troops placed on exhibition as an attraction for the fair, as some have seemed to think was the idea. If the commanders of the regiments so desire, Mr. Downing said, their camp may be entirely isolated, so that visitors to the fair cannot get into the camp. A guard line could be thrown out, beyond which no one would be allowed to go. Camping in the northeast part of the grounds, it would be easy for friends of the soldiers to visit them by entering from the east side of the grounds, instead of entering at the entrance gates and paying the admission fee. If this were permitted, it would, of course, be necessary for the soldiers to refuse to permit visitors to the camp from crossing the guard line down into the fair grounds. Soldiers, in uniform, will, at all times, be welcomed to the fair. WORK OF THE MATRONS. Bnsy Month In the AVoman’a Department at Pollee Station. August was the busiest month in the history of the women’s department of the police station. One hundred and forty-three women were arrested and taken care of by Matrons Gregoire and Reisener, of which number fifty-nine were under twenty years of age. There were ten lost children brought in for shelter until their parents could be found, and nine little boys, too young to be placed among the men In the other section of the prison, were cared for. Os the entire numbe.’ 106 were white and fifty-ix colored. Superintendent Quigley spoke very highly last night of the present matrons, who have been members of the department only since March 1. Since that time the work of the police matron has been increased, making it necessary for two of them instead of one who did the work for so long a time. Now every woman who is arrested is placed in the care of one of the matrons, who is on duty at all times. They are slated, searched and locked up by the matron, and all assistance which i3 possible is given them. Special attention and encouragement is paid to the younger girls who are brought in, kind words often accomplishing what force will nor. One of the matrons is always in police court when any woman prisoner is there. Nice clean apartments, fitted with bath and all modern improvements form the living rooms of the matrons. The floors are carpeted and pretty pictures adorn the walls. R. DESPONDENT WOMAN. Attempts to End Her Troubles by Taking Morphine Poison. Mrs. Lizzie, Munden, 650 Eddy street, attempted suicide yesterday morning by taking the larger part of 15 cents’ worth of morphine. Several times she has threatened suicide w’hilc in a despondent mood, and Wednesday night told the officers who patrol the district in which she lives that she intended to take her life. No attention was paid to the remark. She said the rent for her house was due and she had no money to pay it. It is said she was threatened with being turned into the street, and to avoid all trouble she decided to leave this world. Borrowing 15 cents from a neighbor, she sent her little girl to a near-by store to purchase the poison. When neighbors saw what she had done, the City Dispensary was notified, and Dr. Martin soon arrived at the house. He fovind the remaining part of the drug and went to work, placing her out of danger in a short time. It Is, said that Mrs. Munden is an educated woman, speaking several different languages. RECORD-BREAKING SCORCHER Tlie Hottest Sept. 1 In a Quarter of a Centnry. Not for over a quarter of a century has the mean temperature for Sent. 1 been so high as it was yesterday, according to weather bureau statistics. In the last twen-ty-five or twenty-six years sixty-nine degrees has been the normal mean temperature. Yesterday it was elghty-two degrees. The highest point reached yesterday was 91.9, according to observations taken by the United Btates Weather Bureau at the top of the Majestic building. People who walked around on the hot asphalt pavement ten stories below were willing to affirm that it was many degrees hotter. The lowest temperature for the day was registered shortly before 7 o’clock yesterday morning when the thermometer stood at seventythree. It climbed steadily upward, sometimes almost by leaps and bounds, until nearly ninety-two was recorded about 2 o’clock p. m. Mr. Matthews’# Place on the Board. The State Board of Agriculture will probably not select a man to fill the place made vacant by the death of ex-Governor Matthews until the annual meeting next January. Mr. Matthews had been assigned to the superintendency of the cattle department. It has been decided to combine the duties of superintendent of this department with those of the dairy department for this year’s fair, and Mortimer Levering will have charge of both departments. The special committee appointed to meet the next Legislature, with a view of having the board of agriculture made a State concern, will endeavor to carry out the work Mr. Matthews had planned. He was a member or this committee, which was appointed at the meeting last January. Now Klfiel Refuses to Pay. The citizens’ committee of the K. of P. encampment brought suit in Justice of the Peace Nickerson's court to recover SIOO which it is alleged C. Fred Kissel subscribed to the encampment fund. Kissel claims that a condition of the contract was that no liquor was to be sold on the camp ground during the encampment. The plaintiff avers that the binding condition of the contract was carried out. This was to the effect that th© camp would b© located north of Kail creek and east of Meridian street. Kissel’s beer garden was one of the places that profited the greatest by bringing the encampment to the city. Robert E. Uter Dead. Robert E. Uter, aged thirty-five years, died yesterday afternoon about 5 o’clock at his home. No. 420 North Blackford street. He had been ill but a short time. Mr. Uter was hotel salesman for Sindlinger Brothers, meat dealers. He had a great many friends, and was well liked by all who knew him. He was a member of the order of Elks and of the Knights of Pythias. His wife and one child survive him. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Leather Contract Avrarded. W. W. Mooney & Son, of Columbus, have written Senator Fairbanks that they have been awarded an important contract by the second assistant postmaster general. They are to furnlan large quantities of leather for use in the mail bag repair shop.

K. OF P. LODGE ADJOURNS * FINALLY DECIDES TO MAKE THE PER CAPITA TAX 8 CENTS. “Supremeri” Also Vote Themselves One More Day's Pay for Services. Last night at 7 o’clock the twentieth biennial convention of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, adjourned sine die, after one of the most memorable meetings In the history of the order. From the first day, when steps were taken to discover who had given out information to the press concerning the financial condition of the supreme body, until the final adjournment,) the convention was marked by many bitter episodes. The insurgents were defeated at many points, principally in the re-election of the old officers, but in many other respects they were successful, setting on foot reforms and retrenchments which, they claim, will be to the future good of the order, with its 500,000 members. By noon today most of the supreme officers will have left for home. Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal White and the official reporter of the convention, Charles A. Lee, of Rhode Island, will remain for a few days to clear away th© final work. On further consideration yesterday the Supreme Lodge decided to make the per capita tax 8 cents instead of 6 cents, as advocated by many representatives the day before. This will create a revenue of about $40,000 a year, and with the representative tax and revenue from the sale of supplies will, It is believed, provide sufficient funds to set the Supreme Lodge on a firm financial basis again, paying the $25,000 that was was necessary to borrow for the expenses of the present convention. The proposition to reduce the supreme tribunal to three members lies over until the next convention. Meantime that body remains unchanged. Much of the criticism of the insurgents was directed against the finance edmmittee, consisting of Representatives Burns, Fethers. Butterfield, Aldrich and Stratton. The entire committee, it was authoritatively stated last night, will be reappointed, with the exception of Representative Fethers. He was elected supreme vice chancellor, and, consequently, cannot act on the committee. It was said last night that Representative T. B. Matthews, of Kentucky, would be appointed to succeed him. The members of the finarce committee are to be appointed by the supreme chancellor, T. B. Sample, of Pennsylvania. His determination to reappoint the old committee is in line of the vindication of tne supreme officers of the old administration, all of whom were re-elected. Yesterday evening the officers elected last week were duly installed into office. After sleeping over the question, the supreme representatives decided that they would not donate their services for tn extra day to the convention. One of the first things done yesterday morning was to reconsider this determination and to pass a resolution providing for the usual per diem. TEN HORSES BURNED. An Incendiary Fire on Nortk Mlsbonrl Street. At about 10 o'clock last night fire, supposed to be the work of an incendiary, broke out in the frame barn in the rear of 820 North Missouri street, causing a loss that is estimated at SI,OOO. The property was owned by Oliver Russell and was occupied by William Stephenson, upon whom the bulk of the loss will fall. Ten horses were sheltered in the barn and all efforts to save them were futile. They were all either burned to death or suffocated by the smoke. Stevenson is in the transfer business and made this the headquarters for his animals. From here the fire communicated to the frame shed In the rear of 833 Fayette street and caused a loss of $25. At 531 South Capitol avenue fire caused a loss of SSO to the frame dwelling owned by William Hermann and occupied by Anna Robertson. The one-story double house at 11 and 13 North Noble street caught fire yesterday afternoon, oausing a loss of $l5O. William Coleman and Anna Hawkins wero the occupants. From here the blaze communicated north to 15 North Noble and caused a loss of SSO to the one-story frame dwelling occupied by Sadie O’Brien and owned by a Mrs. Shockley. No. 17 North Noble also suffered about $5 damage. This house was occupied by Violet Organ. On the south the blaze communicated to 9 North Noble, which is vacant, causing only a slight loss. Shortly after the fire on Noble street, flames were discovered at 121 and 123 North Davidson street, causing a loss of $59 to the story-and-a-half frame dwelling owned by Wm. Shotwell. The origin of neither fire is known. BOTTLE BLOWERS’ WAGES. Manufacturers Refuse to Increase the Seale. “No agreement as to anew wage schedule was reached by the committee representing the flint bottle manufacturers of the United States and Canada and the wage committee of the bottle blowers at the meeting at the Bates House yesterday afternoon. The committee representing the manufacturers refused to acceed to a demand for an increase in pay. Each year it is the custom for the bottle blowers and manufacturers to formulate a schedule. This was done last fall for the year Just ending. The bottle blowers’ committee yesterday agreed that the present schedule should continue in force until Sept. 15. So far as the manufacturers are concerned, however, it was said that no further advances would be made on their part. They did not appear to fear a strike. It was said that If the bottle blowers insisted on their demands, at least two more factories would become nonunion. The committee of bottle blowers are very close-mouthed and would not indicate what action the determination of the manufacturers not to advance wages would have. No Siclc Benefits for Police. Since the funds in the city treasury have been so low all sick benefits for the police department have been shut off, so that the unfortunate policeman who is laid up with illness goes without pay for the time that he has lost. Patrolman Leppert was able to work but three days last month, and only about half of July. Consequently his finances have been low and pay day yesterday brought no relief. His fellow-officers, however, appreciating his circumstances, contributed each what he was able and at roll call last night about S4O was collected for the sick man and his family. About half of the men remain yet to be seen, so that it is hoped that this amount may be doubled. New Corporation*. The White River Sand and Gravel Company, capital, $12,000, has been incorporated by August M. Kuhn, Albert Goepper and Jesse A. Shearer, of this city. It is the purpose of the company to obtain sand, gravel and bowlders from White river by pumping and screening. Articles of Incorporation were also filed yesterday by the City Water Works Company, of Bloomington, capital, $25,000; the Imperial Guild, a mutual fraternal and insurance organization of Chicago and Hammond, and the Indiana Produce Association, of Veedersburg, capital, SIOO. Ex-Governor Matthews’s Estate. Friends of the late ex-Governor Matthews are hoping that the financial condition of his estate is satisfactory. It was known that the ex-Governor had large obligations, by sc mo estimated at $40,060, including something over SII,OOO owed the state school fund for a mortgage loan on four hundred acres of his large farm. His friends were expressing the hope yesterday that he had carried enough insurance to make his estate sufficient for the needs of the widow and daughters. Funeral of Mrs. E. L. Jones. The remains of Mrs. E. L. Jones, who died at De Funiak Springs, Fla., Wednesday, will be brought to this city Saturday for burial. From the train the body will be conveyed to Kregeio's chapel, where the services will be held and from there to the Crown Hill Cemetery for Interment. Mrs. . Jones was the widow of Dr. S. D. Jones and

for a long time lived on North New Jersey street. Mrs. Moore, 1923 North Pennsylvania street, is a niece.

City Sanitarian Clark says the water from the four fountains at the soldiers’ and sailors’ monument is not fit to drink. Thousands of people use this water every day. Samples taken from the fountains were analyzed yesterday by Dr. Clark, he not knowing where the water came from until after the tests were made, and he found the water to have nine parts of chlorine. Dr. Clark and former City Sanitarian Ferguson decided last year that the water was bad. Its impurity is due to the conditions always found in crowded sections of cities. Chewing: Gum Machine Found. When Archie Hall, the engineer at the courthouse, opened his room yesterday morning he found a chewing gum machine which was supposed to be stolen. The police were notified and the machine was taken to police headquarters by Detective Asch. No report has been sent to the police of the theft of any such article. Curfew Blows at 8. The curfew whistles blew at 8 o'clock last night, as they will on every night from now until March. Patrolmen were reminded of the change of time at roll call last night, and girls and boys under fifteen must get to their homes an. hour earlier than has been the custom of some of them during the summer months. Don’t Slop Over. Philadelphia Press. Emotionalists are getting ready to paint Liliuokalani with virtues she never claimed in her heydey now that she is actually out of a job, and they also show signs of overdoing the bleaching of Spanisn character by reason of sympathy with a defeated people. A noble sympathy is a fine thing, but a little calmness and pois® are in order, as there are evidences on all sides that the Spanish have not changed their view of us one whit, and, as victors, gush and giddiness will only make us the more contemptible in the eyes of those who have never understood us nor wanted to. We have been and are magnanimous, but we don’t want to get too hysterical over it. So Sadden. Baltimore American.
