ROSH HASHOMH BEGINS. Kelifflonw Services hy the Jewish People In I'lymoutu Church. Last erenlng at sunset commenced the Jewish "ew Year's, or "Kosh llathouah," as It is called by the Jews themselves. It Is a feast coincident with the new moon -and begins the month of "Tlshry," the lirst month of the year. The year which has Ju?t commenced Is 5,6Q and the observance will not end until sunset this evening. This is one of the mot sacred of the Jewish festival and li the beginning of the most religious period of the Jewish year. The most solemn moment of the observance of the day is when the ram's horn is blown, which is symbolical of tl.e blowing of the horn m the day of linal Judgment. The lam's horn always blown is a crooked one mi typifies the liorn of the ram which wa caught in the bush Just as Abraham was about to sacrifice his son and which the )ld Testament Slates was a crooked horn. This blowing of tht horn Is usually done by cva'. of the most venerable members of the consreKatlon, and the art is taught ty father to son. The greeting of the Hebrews to each other Is "To you a good year may be in:ibed.,, The more otthodox Jews serve a lunch at their homs. in the course of which fruit will be dipped in honey, and s It is withdrawn each will ay "May this year be as .?veet cs this fruit and honey." On New Year's day all Jews are supposed to repent of their sins against God for the next ten day they are mippo.rd to repent of their :ns against their fellow-men. and In this i.eriod they are supposed to make restitution if they have defrau!x any of their fellowmen.

THE STREET SPRINKLING

MAYOIt TAfifiAHT CLAIMIXCi CIIEDIT l'OIl A HMPl IlLICAA MEASl'ItE. I'nyment hy City Treasury Instead of rroert Owners Few Speeches Tills Campaign, In an Interview In an afternoon raper Mayor Taggart In telling about the "strin gent economy" the city administration will have to practice next year, said: "We will have one Item of tW) to nay which we have never had before, that of street sprinkling. This will be paid out of th general treasury for the first time, heretofore bdng raid by the property owners. The law making this change was drawn by the administration and passed at the last tJeneral Assembly at the request of the administration." Harry K. Negley, Republican candidate for councilman from First ward, stands ready to prove that the city administration had nothing to do with the passage of the bill. "The facts are that I wrote that bill," ?ald Mr. Negley yesterday. "It was introduced by Oliver M. Murphy, Republican, in the House and was pasd with a few slight changes In verbiage ' In committee. The Democratic administration had absolutely nothing to do with it." There are many unpaved streets In the First ward, and the expense of sprinkling was heavy. Mr. Negley wrote the bill and had It Introduced for the benefit of the property owners. AVITIHIOLDINC; Till: FKitRES. City Administration Keeping the Es timate front Repnbllcnn Header. The criticism of the extravagance of the Taggart administration, which found It nec essary to Increase the tax rate 10 cents, has caused the city controller to be chary In let ting the public know of the figures of his office. The Sentinel prints this mornin.? City Controller Johnson's estimates of the city's expenditures for next year. This report was to have been submitted to the Council last night, but, there being no quorum, the meeting was adjourned immediately after the roll was called. Mr. John son was apparently not anxious that the Republican property owners who read tho Journal should see the figures. Last night the city clerk refused to give the report to the Journal, saying that, as it had not yet been Introduced in the Council, it was still a private document. The German newspapers were not permitted to have the rgures either. S!ven laembers of the Council gathered last night, the roll was called and Mr. Col ter, the acting president, declared that, there belne no quorum, the meeting was ad journed. The members who were present were Messrs. Crall. Little. Colter, Uernauer, Clark, McGrew and Smith. The appropriation ordinance and Controller Johnson's report of the estimate ot the city's expenses next year were ready to be Introduced, but, there being no quorum, the papers were again locked up in City Clerk Stuckmeyer's tin box. The appropriation ordinance provides for a reduction of the tax levy to 53 cents and a special levy cf 1 cent for the police pension fund. XO CAMFAHiX SPEECHES. At Leant They "Will He I'rir A Qnlet Canvass for Votes. According to the chairmen of the Republican and Democratic city committees the campaign Is to be fought out with little noise. Neither committee has arranged for speeches. The rlan of both Republicans and Democrats Is to conduct a canvass In every precinct and almost In every house. "Just before the election," said Chairman Logsden, of the Republican committee, yesterday, "we may have a mass meeting addressed by Mr. Bookwalter and Senator Fairbanks, but even that Is not determined. If Senator Beverldge has the time he may speak once during the campaign. But we are not relying on speeches. If you would follow Mr. Bookwalter around you would find that he is working hard for votes and is doing no loud talking." Chairman Fanning, of the Democratic committee, says It has not been determined that a speech-making occasion will occur during the Democratic campaign, but circumstances will govern the matter. So far no speeches have been planned. The Democrats have settled down to hard grubbing for votes. VICAR GENERAL'S JUBILEE. Celebration Will lie-in Thin Moraine with Solemn High 3!nss.

Messr. Itlclmrdn nnd Holliday Have .ot Yet Determined It. Major Richards and John H. Holliday, who are to tart the Indianapolis Press, a new afternoon Independent paper, have not yet Fettled on a location for the plant. Several properties have been offered to them, they say. They are not ready to announce the name of the managing editor. Since the positive announcement that the new paper would be started Major Rlchards's mall has grown to enormous proportions. He has many applications for positions In the various departments. Some doubt has been expressed that the presses and linotype machines could be procured in time to begin issuing the paper Nov. 1, the time set. but Major Richards says he has been able to make arrangements to get the machinery Immediately and It will probably be at hand before the building is ready to receive it. Both Major Richards and Mr. Holliday express themselves as delighted with the reception their project is having. They are receiving congratulations from scores of friends In town and out. and they feel that the new paper will make a hit from its start. A WRECK ON THE I. & V.

A coal train on the Indianapolis & Vlnvennes road, bound for this city, broke in twain on the hill at May wood last night about 8 o'clock. The two sections separated and then the hindmost section smashed Into the first. Ten of th cars were tipped over Into the ditch, and Frank Boyle, a brakeman, was injured. The wrecking train was sent down to clear the track, and Boyle was brought to this city and taken to his home. He was not seriously hurt, attaches of tho Union Station said. At the Indianapolis & Vincennea despatcher's office, at the Union Station, efforts to secure information were unsuccessful. It was said that the wires were down and nothing was known about the wreck. The man in the office claimed not to know either where Boyle lived or how badly he had been injurexl or where he had been taken. In a word, he knew nothing about the wreck. Other persons about the union Station said that the despatcher's office must have possessed information about the wreck, be cause it had called out the wrecking train. There have been several accidents on the Indianapolis & Vlncennes road within the last wck or two. COUNTY AND TOWNSHIP TAXES The Two Council Will .Meet To-Day to Fix the Levies.

TRACK BUILT AT NIGHT

THIS SEW SWITCH CROSSES SOUTH F E X S Y L V A N I A STREET AT GRADE. Mayor Taggart Claim It In Merely P.n Old Switch Rebuilt for ColdStorage riant. Many people In the past few days have been of the opinion that the Union Railway Company stole a march on the city lart Friday night, but, while the city administration claims the step was not one of stealth, yet another grade crossing has been put down. The new crossing Is. on Pennsylvania street into the cold storage house, which stands on the west eide of the street. Just north of the tracks. The new track, which will be put Into active use, crosses the street from Just east of the sidewalk on the east tide of the street. It has not yet been connected, as the frog which was brought on for that purpose did not fit. The night season was selected for the work, probably with the remembrance of the attempt a year ago to prevent the laying of tracks in the same neighborhood fresh in the mind, and last Friday night a large force of men tore up the track which crossed the street at that place. The track had been disconnected and not used for more than a year. The new track was laid that night and almost all rails put in were new ones. The street has not yet been filled In and boards have been laid so that vehicles can cross. The switch is In place, but the north rail has not yet been cut and will not be until the proper sized frog ar rives. Mayor Taggart was notified of the work yesterday morning and sent the city en gineer and street commissioner to investi gate. Last evening the mayor said; "I was told that a new track had been laid and so had the Investigation made. The engineer reported to me that the track laid was merely an extension of an old track, and that it is a track which Is on the plat and that the company had the right to lay. I do not know any more about It man ms report." How about the controversy of a year or two ago regarding the laying of a track there?" That controversy was the result of a misunderstanding." replied the mayor. "It was not the intention of the railroad companies to put new tracks in at that time. They were building a new bridge over Pogue's run near the gas house and they merely Intended to move their tracks over for temporary use. The whole thing was a miundc-rstanding." Engineer Jeup last evening reiterated his report to the mayor. He said the track I on the plat and that it is a track that has been down for years." The only thing done to It the other night," said he, "was to raise it to the street grade. If you will look at the brick pavement along the track you will see that It has been worn down and that the track has been there for years. I know that the track has been there for a long time, becaure when I was investigating the question of track elevation I saw a car standing on that track. The street has not been torn up nor has tho track been laid as far nortn as tne curb line. It Is merely an old track raised to the street grade." Superintendent Zion. of the Union Railway Company, said he did not know who laid the new track. "That track has been there for years." said he. "It has been there ever since I have been in Indianapolis and, to my personal knowledge, it has been there for twenty-five years. It was originally the track which ran into a coal yard which occupied the ground where the cold-slorage building Is now located. Afterwards the Vandalia people leased the ground and used It for an unloading plac. Then the cold storage people got it. The track has not been connected with any other for over a year. Just about a year ago we changed the tracks a little so as to ease tne sharp curve east of the station, and this switch was disconnected at that time. The track was below the street grade. Within the past two or three days some people have raised the track to the street elevation and have prepared to connect it. I do not know who did tho work, for we did not. I do know that the cold rtorage people have been wanting to have a spur in their Slant. There is a track alongside their ulldlng which they used In the shipment of material for their building but which they cannot use in handling their goods. Thev would have to have a track into the building. It is ceriainly not a new track and It i legally all right for it to be raised to the street level and put in use." It will nrobably be not more than a day or two until the new track is put into use and another actively-used track will be on a grade crossing, and the Democratic adminis tration has nothing to say, except in the platform. THE A. M. E. ASSIGNMENTS Inil'ann Conference Adjourn: -Money Raised Last Year. The Indiana A. M. E.

He reported tho matter to the police, and yesterday Detectives (Berber and Morgan arrested John Bolles. Bolles had sold the hat to Carl Montgomery, a Janitor, who. when found with It In his po.Asession, helped the detectives to find Bolles.

FINALLY FOUND A FAIR DAY The Hibernians Hare Their rirnlc at Armstrong Park. . The Hibernian picnic at Armstrong's Tark was the first successful one held by that organization in years, on nearly every other recent occasion pouring rains interfering with the affairs. Yesterday the North Indianapolis car line was worked to its limit carrying the crowds to the grounds, and a3 a result tho woods were full of men. women and children. The games were all impromptu, without prizes, and there was no speechmaking, although Candidate Taggart was there with his smile. It had been expected that Charles A. Bookwalter would be present, but lato in the afternoon it was announced that he had gone to Klwood to spend the day. General attention was directed to "Commodore" Higglns. He grew tired of the festivities, and, finding a shady nook, stretched out and went to sleep. The crowds that came later made his retreat anything but exclusive, however. WHITES AND BLACKS MIX THE SCEXE OF RACE "WARS TRANSFERRED TO MALOTT AVE.NUE. Police Fire Blank Cartrldses to Dis perse the Mob G. D. Hamilton ' Injured In the Spine. Another race fight this time between men instead of boys took place last night in front of a colored dance hall on Malott avenue, near the Massachusetts-avenue station, and, although It is known that sev eral were injured, only one was found to be seriously so. Throughout tho day yesterday the police received reports of white men assaulting negroes in that part of the city, but as they seemed to be the fights of individuals no particular attention was paid to them at the time. It Is the opinion now, however, that these small fights worked up feeling among all the colored men in the neighborhood and when the white men showed a disposition to be aggressive there was trouble. Last night there was a colored dance held In the room above John Poole's pool room. on Malott avenue, and quite a number of colored men congregated around the entrance. Several white men. some of them with women, were compelled to step into tho street to pass, and made disagreeable remarks. This worked up bad feeling on both sides. About 9:4i o'clock the colored men around the front of the hall eaw about fifty white men coming toward them and divined their purpose at once, uotn sides shouted and swore and then closed in conflict, with the result that after a scrimmage of fifteen minutes, the colored men forced their adversaries to run. About this time the police, being informed of the af fair, came up, but, seeing everything (juiet, were about to retire, when the white men, with renewed courage, returned to the fight, not seeing the policemen. Before anything more could be uone, nowever, tne poncomen shot three times into the crowd with blank cartridges and dispersed it. After hostilities had ceased G. B. Hamil ton, of 16h Sheldon street, was found to have been hit in the spine with a large rock, and he was removed to the City Hospital for treatment. He bitterly denounced the negroes, claiming they had attacked the white men as they passed singly. He claimed to know nothing of any organized force of white men, but said that the dance hall was the resort of negro thugs and was a menace to the safety of the people of the neighborhood. Not a shot was nrea during the fight except those rtred by the ponce in dispersing the mob. None of tho men taken Into custody for being at the scene of the fight were shown to have taken any part in the fight and all were released. Most of them said they found themselves in the midst of a howling mob and were glad to get out, even under arrest. The police department looks for more se rious riots of this sort In the near future, as, in the opinion of most of the officials. the failure ot the Police Court to convict the West Indianapolis rioters had a bad effect on the lawless factions In tho city. DraKSlst L. T. Xanhs Conduct. I T. Nash, a druggist at Illinois and Mc carty streets, was arrested on a street car at" Illinois and Twelfth streets last night.
