THE CIRCUS AUDIENCES. ForepnuRh-Sells Show tf rdajr AVaa Well Attended. The Forepaugh-Sells Bros circus showed to two big audiences yesterday afternoon and last night. The morning parade was up to the usual standard and was viewed by large crowds. The trained seals easily take the honors In the performance, the wonder being how such uncouth creatures can be Instructed to perform such unusually Intelligent feats. Among the acrobats, those old favorites, the Hanlons. show that they have lost none of their agility. The trained elephants went through their races, too, with much case and skill. The comic hit of both parade and performance is the clown band. It Is funnier this season than ever. The circus la handled in an orderly manner, and the attendants are as suave and polite as If they were ushers in a theater. The crowds wtre augmented by excursions from near-by towns.

The State Board of Tax Commissioners yesterday ilrst heard John T. Dye, on behalf of the Big Four Railroad Company. Mr. Dye said that the smaller branches which are unproductive are all In this State. He called attention to the Fairland branch, which he said would be abandonef if the company did not feel It owed a duty to the public. The Columbus, Hope & Greensburg branch, he said, Is In the same condition, and the Whitewater Valley road last year did not come within $11.00") of earning its operating expenses, and yet was assessed at $5,0C) a mile. Mr. Dye asked that the reduction of the assessment m!ght be made, and left with the board the following statement of business: Earnings. Cleveland division $4,545,149.72 Cincinnati division 2.127,847.47 St. Louis division 2.530.201.13 Chicago division 3,30;,4W.50 Whitewater division 75.420.31 r.iirn division 6LW6.00(

Balance, $3,"1 73 i7 The rolllnsr Ftcck is said to be In about the eame condition as last year and the company's taxes amount to $2,CO0 a day. The Louisville & Nashville was represented by C O. Bradford. That portion of this road which is in Indiana is the St. Louis branch, and the following statement of business was made: Oross earnings. March 31. 1S9S, $U97,5$7.?3; operating expenses. I1.C20.33U1; gross earnIr.rs. March 31. 10, Sl.l&!.&5.51; operating expenses. $1.0Gt,5$C.01; net earnings In 1S:$, $177,251.S4: net earnings in 150?. I1S6.239.50; net earnings rer mile, $$51.60 in 1S33; In 100 were $vj4.7S. Mr. Bradford gave particular attention to the Henderson bridge. Before this brldse was built the road transported its freight from KvansvIIIe to Kentucky by ferry and it was decided to build a bridge, although the railroad company could not do it, as it was financially embarrassed. A separate corporation was formed and Issued $2,0u0,0u0 orth of bondi. which were sold at SO cents. The bridge. Mr. Bradford says, earns about $15,000 a year, but it is stipulated that the earnings of the bridge shall be not less than $2,jf.ooo a year, so the balance of si&.OOD Is made up from the earnings of the road. Mr. Bradford says that the bridge Id a part of the L & N. and should be so assessed. Joseph Ramsey, Jr., vicf president and general manager of the Wabash, appeared for his road. He asked a material reduction rin the assessment, and said he would eil the branch to Attica nni Covington for its assessment, or would let any one operate it who would pay the taxes on it. This was assessed at $5.(.m a mile, and moro than any other brancn of the road. One train crew cpemtes it. he stated. He claimed that the assessment on the entire syatem is too high by at least $1,000 a mile, and said that last year the road paid in taxes J502.V) or 4 per cent, of the grot? earnings.

The taxes In thia State amounted to J160.00O, cr about 5 per cent, of the gross earnings. Daniel Sims, representing the same road, argued that some system of making assessments other than the one followed should be adopted. The hearing of the Western Union Telegraph Company was deferred until next week. The board was In session during the entire afternoon, in executive session flxing the valuation of telephone companies. Corporation Assessments Increased. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., July 13.-The County Board of Review has decreased very many assessments from the amount reported by the assessor and has increased others on corporations.

Tiro Famous Local Horses to Race at Drlvlnff Park To-Morrorr. A special race between Major, owned by D. B. Shideler, and Pat Murphy, owned by Alvin Cavett, has been arranged for the benefit of visitors to the Business Men's Driving Club Park to-morrow afternoon. The horses have been together on the track several times this season, but when one was ready to start the other was not. They have never started together. Friendly charges of cowardice have been made to both owners, and this match is the result. The races will start promptly at 2 o'clock, and spectators will not be kept waiting for horses in the three-minute and 2:10 classes not ready to start at that time. In the three-minute class are entered Don B., Baby Fielder, Nettle King, Lady Constant, HattJe L., Geneva, Dr. Wylle and Billy S. Hattle I. and Dr. Wylle are new horses on the track and claims of speed are made for both. The 2:40 entries are Sleeping Beauty, Barrister, Walker, Robert 1. Midget, Ham. Flashlight, Montgomery, Nellie C. and a new horso Just purchased by Will Roth. Roth's horse Is young, but has had some training, and the classification committee refused to allow the owner to enter the horse In the three-minute class. It Js said that next week the horse will go in the 2:2) class. Jack Pointer, Charlie Boy, Gladwell, Little Elgin and K. K. represent the 2:30 horses. The 2:20 entries are Bunch. Fred L., Billy Briggs. Anna K., Zoo Zoo, Axtel and Willard M. The card as arranged this week is a pleasing one to club members, and will, no doubt, be such to visitors. ACTION OF IRON M0LDERS. The Union Pledges Its Support to Clear Makers in the Fight. The Iron Molders Union of North America, In convention yesterday, pledged Its support to the International Cigar Makers' Union in its fight against the tenementhouse system of cigar making. The practice and system were characterized as "degrading from a sanitary, pecuniary and Industrial standpoint." The attempt to change the rules regarding the employment of apprentices was unsuccessful. Indorsement of the method of publishing the monthly Journal was made, and the special-editor system was referred to the committee on constitution. The convention declared for the eight-hour day and left the time for its inauguration in the hands of State and local organizations, with a view of having conferences with manufacturers for its adjustment. The death benefit was dlscursed and a graduated benefit was agreed on. The amount of benefit depends upon the length of membership after five years. All members are entitled to $100. The limit is now $200 after fifteen years' membership. The convention adjourned late in the afternoon with a motion still pending. This motion, which it is believed will carry, practically commits the organization to political action along the socialistic labor lines. The discussion will be continued this morning.

FRANCIS MURPHY HERE

READY TO GO TO TOE PHILIPPIXES AS A CIIAPLAI5. Will See President McKlnley About the Matter Next "Week Age Restriction. Francis Murphy, the famous apostle of temperance, dropped in on Indianapolis to see bow it conducted itself during the Epworth League convention. He has been holding temperance revivals in northern Wisconsin and Michigan, up in the iron belt. Mr. Murphy will go directly to Washington after the convention to see President McKinley, with whom he has enJoyed a friendship covering twenty-five years. Mr. Murphy wants to be with the boys in the Philippines to do what good he can with tliem and remind them now and then of mother and father. He served as chaplain of the Fifth Pennsylvania Regiment during the Spanish war and was at Chickamauga last summer. .... When it came to selecting Mr. Murphy it was found that regulations required an ordained minister. The temperance apostle did not come up to this requirement, and so stated to Governor Hastings. "What, not a minister?" exclaimed the Governor. "Well, we'll settle that. I'll ordain you," and, putting his hands over Mr. Murphy's gray head, he said, "dod bless you. Now you are ordained." A few minutes later Mr. Murphy's commission was signed and he became a captain. When Mr. Murphy suggested that he would be willing to go to the Philippines Adjutant General Corbln sent him the necessary papers, but Mr. Murphy found he could not sign them, for he was over forty-five years old and was not ordained. So he is going to see the President about the matter, and if the President can act without violating the law Mr. Murphy will probably be appointed a chaplain in one of the new volunteer regiments. It Is probable his services In the war with Spain will exempt him from the restrictions which apply in the regular army. COMPROMISED FOR $150. Settlement of Snlt Drought on Account of Mrs. Ilosrger'a Death., The damage suit of S. C. Hoerger, administrator of the estate of Eliza Hoerger, which was brought in Room 3, Superior Court, was settled yesterday.

Petitions In Bankruptcy. A petition In bankruptcy was filed in the United States Court yesterday by Ellas Campbell & Co., of Frankfort. No assets are given and the firm's indebtedness is placed at $5,943.40.

The police were out in force at the circus grounds, and their presence seemed to have a good effect there, no disturbance whatever occurring. Horse's Kick May Kill Him.
