The Newby Oval Races. There are many cycle racing enthusiasts among the soldier boys, and with their return to this city many of them would like to witness some exciting cycle competition. Newby Oval will give them an opportuhity on Labor day night, when the great paced ten-mile race will be run off between "Plugger Bill’ Martin and Harry Gibson, paced by thirty pacemakers. It Is announced that as nothing Is too good for the soldier hoys, any man in a soldier's uniform will be admitted to the races free of charge. The style in which Gibson is following the big pacing machines leads many to consider him the favorite in the race, especially as Martin has been doing nothing but sprint work while in the East. That the latter is In good form, however, can be imagined from his defeat of all the cracks at Mahoney City on Thursday, when he captured the two open events. The telegraph boys •till continue to train by moonlight on the track. Fell Asleep on the Track. At the City Hospital yesterday morning the right leg of It. B. Cummings, forty year* of age, was amputated, the result of a railroad accident.

A QUESTION OF DOG TAX a CAUSES A HEATED DISCUSSION IN THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. ■ ♦ Commissioner Baker Has a Plan of Adjustment and Introduces a Res-olution-Routine Matters. a At a meeting of the School Board last night an attempt was made to adjust "amicably and on a business basis’’ the dog lax difficulty. The School Board has judgments against Center township for $22,000 due from deg taxes collected through several years. The board proposed to secure a mandate forcing Township Trustee Makepeace to pay the judgment, but the court suggested that the parties in the matter get together and try to settle it out of court. Thomas Hanna appeared before the board last night for the township and Attorneys Stevenson and Dryer for the board. Trustee Makepeace was present and very much In evidence at different times. Mr. Hanna argued that the township’s property outside the city is worth about $2,000,000, or about one-third what it was in 1893. The rest of the property has been taken into the city, he said. Therefore he held the present property owners should not be required to pay for the benefit the others, twice their number, had received. Mr. Dryer said "he had threshed over this wheat for six years.” He claimed the present value of the township property outside of Indianapolis is $3,300,000 instead of $2,000,000. Trustee Makepeace interrupted him by saying he had to borrow $5,000 at the first of his term to continue the schools under his charge. Mr. Dryer continued that though that might be true, Mr. Makepeace now has about $25,000 on hand and could pay a part of the judgments against the township without embarrassment. Then Mr. Makepeace became somewhat heated and constantly broke in on Mr. Dryer's argument. Mr. Dryer said: "Mr. "Makepeace had an opportunity to make a levy to pay these judgments in 1885.” “Mr. Dryer came to me,” cried Mr. Makepeace, springing from his chair, "and told me to make a levy. I didn’t recognize him as having any authority; I didn’t know him. By some means these judgments are very large. I don’t know how Mr. Dryer worked This little discussion precipitated a flow of warm words, which had no result except to ranke Mr. Makepeace more excited. Mr. Stevenson then made an argument in the matter, and he was constantly interru Pted by such expressions as “All mixed up, "No, no, no,” and other remonstrances from Trustee Makepeace. “Am I expected to obey the beck and call of a couple of lawyers,” he cried. By this time several of the commissioners were laughing behind their hands. "if you folks want to go to the Legislature, said Mr, Hanna, “we’ll fight you.” Mr. Hanna explained that his proposition was that the township property owners should pay one-third of the judgments. "I came here in good faith,” he said. Trustee Makepeace arose and said he wished he could talk like a lawyer. One of the commissioners abruptly stopped the excited trustee’s flow of language by saying he thought the board was thoroughly conversant with the matter. Mr. Baker introduced a resolution providing that the township should pay one-half of the judgments this December, and pay the other half and the costs of the litigation in December, 1899, thus giving the trustee plenty of time to raise the money by a levy. On the second payment, the resolution provided, the township should be given credit for $3,200 of school equipment turned over to the city. The resolution was adopted unanimously. The warm weather and the disputes of the evening had caused some irritation. Commissioner Scott said the schools would be a great deal better off financially If the suburbs and other township property had not been annexed. Trustee Makepeace was up in a second, saying, "I’m sorry you folks feel so bad about having taken in our children.”

It is supposed the School Board will secure a mandate along the lines of the resolution adopted. Mr. Hanna said it will take twenty-five years to collect the money, even it the Legislature decides against the township people. The secretary of the board reported that he had drawn warrants amounting to $29,494.45 during the month of August. The treasurer reported a balance In the treasury of $58,794.75, and that the overdraft now amounts to $104,948.24. The board approved a contract for plumbing and other work at the Industrial Training School amounting to $958. Minerva H. Criley has been appointed a teacher in the district school* at a salary of $450 a year, and Laura Frazee is appointed director of the practice school, at a salary of S9OO a year. Because of petitions presented, German will be taught in schools No. 39. 52 and 54. President G. Stanley Hall, of Clark University, Worcester, Mass., will lecture at 10 o’clock on the morning of Sept. 10 at the High 3chool to the teachers of the city schools and to the public. The board allowed SSO for his expenses. MRS. BEMENT LYMAN DEAD. A Woman Who Wa* Mach Respected for Her Good Works. Mrs. Ella Spears Lyman, wife of Bement Lyman, died yesterday morning at her home, on North Pennsylvania street. It was not generally known that she was ill, and the announcement was a shock to her friends. Mrs. Lyman had been ill for several weeks, but she had so improved that those nearest her thought her complete recovery was a matter of but a few more weeks. Mrs. Lyman was a woman of strong individuality and had made a notable place for herself in the life of the community. She was strong, earnest and energetic and whatever she undertook was carried through with characteristic zeal. She was one of the board of managers of the Home for Friendless Women, and was one of the organizers and promoters of the Woman’s Exchange. She, with others, served in the capacity of waitress and cashier in the days when the exchange was new, and after that time she was prompt and capable in executing whatever was her share in the management of the institution. She was a woman of fine literary tastes and was a member of Miss Merrill’s classes and of the Katherine Merrill Club. All through her life she continued the study of literature and languages, and was progressive in the arts and the work of women. Mrs. Lyman was a member of the Daughters -of the American Revolution and organized the Society of Colonial Dames, of which she was the state president. One of her last acts was to undertake the first work of relief that was done for the soldiers in the recent war. Mrs. Lyman called members of the latter organization together, solicited funds, purchased muslin, and, within a few days, had more than 150 hospital shirts with pillow cases and boxes of luxuries for the hospital ship on the way. Mrs. Lyman worked with her accustomed enthusiasm and carried the work forward to success. The children of her neighborhood she organized into a sewing society, and most of the pillow cases were hemmed by them. Soon after, Mrs. Lyman was taken ill. Mrs. Lyman was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Spears, of Lafayette. She was born and brought up In Lafayette and lived there until her marriage to Mr. Lyman, in 1879. She was a member of the Second Presbyterian Church of Lafavette, and when Mr. and Mrs, Lyman came to this city to reside, about twelve years ago, they connected themselves with the church of the same name in this city. Mrs. Lyman was a devout Christian and her church and home life was one of happiness. A husband and two daughters, Eloise and Natalie, and a brother, Mr. Harry Spears, of New York, are the only members left of her Immediate family. There will be a brief service at the residence Monday morning at 10 o'clock, and the burial will be at Lafayette the same afternoon, in the family lot, where her parents and sister are burled. Mr*. Mary Gay'* Death. Mrs. Mary Gay, widow of th* late Alfred Gay, died yesterday morning at the residence of her son-in-law, Frank Aldrich, with whom she had resided most of the time since the death of her husband. Mrs. Gay would have been eighty-four years old next month. She had resided in Indianapolis since 1864, coming with her husband to this city from Fitchburg, Mass. Mr. Gay for many years was prominently identified with manufacturing munvsis in Ind snapolis, at one time being associated with John Marsee in the lumber business. Afterwavds he was associated with the late Wm. Braden. They

Colored Fugitive Captured in Terre Haute. George White, the colored man who made a vicious attack on George Wallace, an expatrolman, about ten days ago, was captured in Terre Haute yesterday and the authorities here were-, notified. Detective Kinney went to Terre Haute yesterday and returned last night with the prisoner, slating him for assault and battery with intent to kill. The cutting occurred in a saloon at the corner of Indiana avenue and Blake street and was over a game of pool. White asked to enter a game which Wallace and a friend were playing, and when refused became angry. Drawing a knife, he went for Wallace, cutting him on the left side of the head and on the right hand. Wallace was In the City Hospital for several days. A TELEPHONE CONTRACT DRUGGIST k A. GABLE MADE ONE WITH THE CENTRAL UNION. - He Claim* It Wa* Procured by Fraud by Oriigslst Timberlake—ln. the Federal Court. Lewis A. Gable, a North Ulinois-street druggist, began an action in the Suprelor Court yesterday against Arthur Timberlake, who Is also engaged in the drug trade, and the Central Union Telephone Company, to have the defendants produce in court a contract which he executed some time ago and turned over to Timberlake. The plaintiff shows that he is a member of the Marion County Druggists’ Association, of which society the defendant Timberlake is president. The latter, it is charged, approached the plaintiff recently with a proposition to have him become a patron of the Central Union Telephone Company. Timberlake, it is averred, said he was canvassing among the members of the druggists’ association, who were signing contracts with him for Central Union telephone service. These contracts were to run for five years and the price to be paid for the service was S4B a year. Timberlake, it is charged, represented to the plaintiff that the New Telephone Company had gone out of business and on this representation Gable executed and delivered his contract for Central Union service for five years. The latter company, it is asserted, now claims this contract is a valid obligation. The plaintiff charges that the statements and representations of the defendant Timberlake were false and fraudulent. He avers that Timberlake at the time the contract was executed was an agent for the Central Union Company and was being paid by the corporation. His son, It is claimed, is employed as a lineman by the company. The plaintiff asserts that it is not true that the members of the druggists’ association were combining to make contracts with the Central Union Company. He says he is not. able to produce the original contract which he signed, but he asks that the defendants be required to produce it in court and that it be canceled. At a meeting of the Druggists’ Association yesterday afternoon the question of Arthur Timberlake’s connection with the telephone companies was brought up. L. C. Walker, of the New Telephone Company, was present and talked to the druggists for a while on the advantages offered by his company. In the course of his remarks Attorney Walker spoke of Mr. Timberlake having taken a very active interest in the telephone situation. Mr. Timberlake denied that he had attempted to form a combine against the New Telephone Company. He said he merely discussed the telephone question with the members of the Druggists’ Association as individuals. It was his plan, he said, to make a proposition to the Central Union Company that they furnish telephones at a rate no higher than $4 a month. He denied having circulated the report that the New Telephone Company was going out of business and declares he has no connection with the Central Union Company.

RECEIVER MAY PURCHASES. Order of tbe United Stutea Court for Betterment of the Vandalia. Judge Woods, of the United States Court, yesterday made an order which will permit the receiver of the Vandalia Railway Company to proceed with th© purchase of safety appliances for its freight trains. These appliances, it is estimated, will cost th© road about $150,000. The order is in accordance with an act of Congress of 1893, when It was provided that within five years from the date of the passage of the act all freight trains should bo made up of a sufficient number of cars equipped with airbrake appliances to enable the engineer to stop the train at will. The act also provided that the Interstate-commerce Commission might extend the time of purchasing this equipment where any good reason was shown by a railway company for such extension. January the commission granted an extension to the receiver of the Vandalia Company, fixing January, 1900, as the time when the equipment should be complete. In order to conform with the law it will be necessary for f .he receiver to teupply 60 per cent, of the road’s freight cars with air-brake apparatus and automatio couplers. The T. H. A It. Railway Sale. The mandate in the foreclosure suit against the Terre Haute & LogansDort Railway has been forwarded to Indianapolis from the United States Court of Appeals. On July 22, 1897, a decree of foreclosure was procured against the road in the United States Court to satisfy a mortgage which secured $1,000,000 of bonds. The litigation was heard by Judge Woods. The defendants contended that the corporation was entitled to a lien prior to the bonds on account of improvements put on the road. Judge Woods decided against the road on this contention and the case was taken to the United States Court of Appeals, whet© Judge Woods was sustained on July 26 last. In accordance with the court’s order the road must be sold to satisfy the indebtedness. The sale will take place at Crawfordsville. New Salta Filed. Pabst Brewing Company vs. John J.

Driving Club Races. There was rather a small crowd at th© Business Men’s Driving Club yesterday on account of the extreme heat. Next week there will be no races, as a number of the members of the club have their horses entered for the races at Danville, when members of the club are to be admitted free. Several horses belonging to members of the club will start in the Labor day races at the state fair grounds Monday. Several of the horses are at Franklin this week. Below is a summary of the races yesterday, with the names of the horses and their owners: Three-minute class; Nellie C. (James Vannatta) 1 1 Minuette (H. E. Phelps) 3 2 Lady Constant (W. N.

The buildings at the state fair grounds have undergone a complete renovation. All are now In readiness for the exhibitors, who are already beginning to arrive, especially in the mechanical and live stock departments. Secretary Kennedy during the middle of next week will move his office from the Statehouse to the grounds, owing to the early arrival of exhibitors. The representatives of Pain's fireworks company, under whose direction the brilliant spectacle, “The Battle of Manila,” is to be given, will arrive early next week and begin the erection of the poles for holding the picture and the apparatus that is used in the spectacle. Care is to be taken in the placing of these poles so as not to interfere with the views of the race track. The programme of fireworks will be a popular one, from the expressions of those who have seen it. Special attention has been paid in securing devices .that will appeal to the patriotic. The Cuban and American flags entwined and festooned around a motto “We Have Remembered the Maine’’ is but one of a half dozen special devices. Small Fires Yesterday. There were two slight fires yesterday, one of them in the down-town district. About 7 o’clock in the morning a blaze was discovered in the two-story brick building at No. 135 East Wabash street, caused by electric wires not properly insulated. The damage will reach SIOO. The building is owned by Dr. Long and occupied by Eimer Nichols & Cos. A little before noon fir© from an unknown origin was discovered in the dwelling and barroom at No. 310 East McCarty street, causing a loss of $l5O. John Barnhardt owned the place and it was occupied by David Kuster. Fire in the two-story frame house at No. 408 West Thirteenth street last night caused a loss of $75. * The house is owned by the Second Christian Church and is vacant. The firemen say incendiaries started the blaze. Calvin Darnell’s Plan. Calvin Darnell and other “old settlers’’ have a project to convert the triangular piece of land bounded on one side by Washington street, on one side by Washington avenue and on the other side by White river into a park. They claim the buildings on this property are of little value. It is their plan to have the land condemned by the city for this use. Another part of the proposition ia to build on the exact spot where the first log cabin in Indianapolis stood, which was on this tract, another one like it, and to place a tablet there bearing the names of the pioneers. In vest I sitting; a Mad-Dog Scare. It is said that a mad dog was shot in the northeast part of the city a day or two ago, and that before it was killed it bit several other dogs and cats la the neighborhood.

A fine Gordon setter, owned by Harry Phillips, and valued at SIOO, was one of tne victims, and it was killed yesterday, it being thought that its actions were strange. The Board of Health was notified of these things yesterday and an investigation will be made to see if there are other animals in the neighborhood which should be killed. ARM TAKEN OFF. Accident to a Thirteen-Year-Old West Indianapolis Boy. While playing yesterday afternoon at the intersection of Harding street and the Vandalia Railway track Lewis Laitner, a boy thirteen years old, living at 3S South McLain street, West Indianapolis, fell under a passing train and his left arm was run over. The City Dispensary was notified and the ambulance, in care of Dr. Martin, removed the suffering boy to the City Hospital, where proper treatment might be had. After an examination it was decided that amputation was necessary and the left arm was taken off just below the shoulder. The boy is doing well and will recover. BISMARCK IS HONORED large: audience present at the MEMORIAL EXERCISES. A Series of Tableaux and Addresses Given at Maennerchor Hall Last Night.

About 1.3C0 people attended the memorial services in honor of the memory of the great German statesman at Maennerchor Hall last night. The hall was decorated in handsome style with the dags of the sixteen German societies of Indianapolis and the fiag of the German empire. A prominent place was also given to "old glory.’’ There were palms, and flowers, and pretty girls sprinkled through the audience, which gave the place quite a festival air, and this, coupled with the enthusiasm manifested by the audience whenever a reference was made to the fatherland, or to the men who did most for it, made it hard to believe that this was a meeting in memory of a dead statesman, and not in honor of the living. But as was expressed in mellifluous German last night: ‘‘Bismarck is dead to his enemies, but he lives forever in the hearts of his countrymen." The programme for the evening was long, there being eleven numbers. It began promptly at 8 o’clock, with the rendition of Kaler-Bela’s “Dedication of the Temple,” by Mueller’s orchestra. This was followed by Chopin’s "March of Women." Then the curtain on the stage rose on the fabled scene of "Barbarossa on the Kyffhauser.” Barbarossa, or to put it in English, “Redbeard,” was asleep on the mountain, with his army about him. The next scene showed the awakening of Barbarossa, typifying the awakening and arousing of Germany. During the production of the tableau the Maennerchor, Liederkranz and Harugari Societies, under the direction of Prof. Carl Barus, sang the “Awakening of the Lion." After this there was a German song by the chorus. Then Mr. Fred Fraucke, president of the Maennerchor Society, introduced Mr. William Rapp, editor of the Illinois Staats Zeitung, who delivered the address of the evening. Mr. Rapp’s subject was Bismarck. His speech was eloquent, and he indulged in word-painting that would lose its rich coloring if an attempt were made to translate it literally into English. Mr. Rapp left Germany after the revolution of 1848, which he characterized last night as having been a revolution from below. In his hot-blooded youth, he said, he had been opposed to the German empire, but now he saw that what was needed for the development of that great country, and the uniting of Germany, was a revolution from above—a revolution in diplomacy and statecraft, such as the great Bismarck had carried through. Bismarck, the man of blood and iron, was compared by the speaker to Napoleon, to the disadvantage of the little Corsican, for, Mr. Rapp said, Napoleon was a discontented disturber, while Bismarck, though at most times a disturber, was always a reconstructor. Bismarck was satisfied with what he could do, and would not attempt the impossible. Bismarck's aim was ever for Ger‘•many, and not for* Bismarck. He closed with a peroration to the memory and the greatness of the “man who made Germany,” which brought forth a chorus of “Hoehs" and great ppplause. The speech was followed by the singing of “Integer Vitae” by the choral societies and an overture by the orchestra, after which the second of the tableaux, representing epochs in German history, was shown. This picture was the “Crowning of Emperor William I." The great Emperor was represented surrounded by the princes of Saxony and Bavaria, dukes of Baden and Mecklenburg and other notables, with Bismarck, Von Moltke, the crown prince and other dignitaries of the German court. The picture was one that glittered with swords and gold braid and German eolors, and was greeted with loud applause. The Emperor was represented by Joseph Pflueger, the crown prince by Adolph Mueller, Bismarck by Fred Eberhardt and Von Moltke by W. Kotteman. After this picture the orchestra played Meyerbeer’s “Coronation March.” Then the singers rendered the same composer’s famous hymn "Was Ist das Deutschen Vaterland?” After the orchestra had played Keler-Bela’s “On the Beautiful Rhine” the closing tableau was presented. It represented Germany welcoming her victorious soldiers. Miss Elsa Duden, a strikingly handsome young lady, who wore a costume similar to that in which “Columbia" is usually represented, with the exception that she was draped with a German flag and wore the silver eagle instead of a shield, was “Germania,” while a score of little girls assisted her in greeting the returning hosts. During this tableau the entire audience joined in singing “Der Wacht am Rhein.” The stage settings for the tableaux were very clever. At the conclusion of the programme the meeting changed into a less formal and more social affair, and there was more music and plenty of refreshments in the rooms of the Maennerchor Society.
