MR. FANNING IS DEPOSED

ASSISTAXT CITY ATTOIMRY IX CHARGE OF TIIK CAMPAIGX. Ueniocrnlle Ortfanltntlon I Demornl I zed Th Betting Change fn Favor of Book waiter. It was general gossip yesterday that Joseph T. Fanning, chairman of the Democratic city committee, had beea deposed and that, though he was still nominally chairman and his signature was used, his power had been taken away. For several days it had been said that Mayor Taggart was not satisfied with Mr. Fanning and that he was taking more and more of the work on himself. Yesterday it was stated that Joseph E. Bell, assistant city attorney, had been given charge cf the campaign. Politicians pay the developments of the last few days have so disheartened the Democratic leaders that they have determined to remove all obstacles possible from their path, and that Is the reason why Mr. Fannlng'a alleged inefficiency has been done away with. Chairman Logsdon, of the Republican city committee, said yesterday that the Democratic cause was hopeless. lie said he was confident of a great Bookwalter victory. He told of one Republican who was doubtful about Republican chances whom he met at the corner of Pennsylvania and Washington streets, and offered to wager a box of cigars that if the doubter would Inquire of the men whom he knew who passed the corner he would rind that seven out of ten of them Intended to vote for Mr. Bookwaiter. The doubter declined to try the experiment at tho time, but yesterday he called on Mr. Logsdon and told him he had made the street corner canvass and had found that Mr. Logsdon' s estimate was true. Chairman Logsdon called up the Democratic committee rooms by telephone yesterday and asked the man who answered If the Democrats hadn't given up. The man did rot know to whom he was talking. "Have you got any money?" asked the Democrat. ' "Yes." replied Chairman Logsdon. "but over here at Harry Walker's they have taken all the bets oft the board." "How much do you want to . bet?" demanded the Democrat. "I'll bet you Jl.Ort to $900 that Bookwalter wins," said Mr. Logsdon. "and if you'll come over here to Harry Walker's I'll put it on, the board." The Democrat hung up the receiver. DEMOCRATIC FIASCO, The Mayor Dispirited Lnst Mfflit Tomato Throwing ut One Meeting;. John W. Holtzman and Mayor Taggart were the principal speakers at a gathering of Democrats and boys In a vacant storeroom at the corner of Harding and Morris streets, in West Indianapolis, last night. As has been the case at4 nearly all the Democratic meetings held this year, disorder was the most noticeable feature of the evening. Only about a dozen chairs were in the. hall and theye were occupied by the party leaders, while twenty or more boys stood in line behind them to take the Initiative in the cheering. The meeting was a particularly listless one. in spite of the efforts of Mr. Holtzman to inject enthusiasm Into his followers - by making extravagant remarks concerning the things that might be expected If the Republicans were successful. One of these fell so flat that even the youthful enthusiasts forgot to yell. He said that he had -positive proof that the Indianapolis Gas Company wsa "backing Bookwalter in his campaign, and." said he. "do you think they are doing this for nothing?" Mr. Holtsman was .easily tho star of the evening, for Mr. Taggart ahowed the effects of a perusal of the handwriting on the wall. He lacked the spirit and assurance of former occasions and simply related. In a mechanical fashion. the set speech Me has presented on former occasions, the only thing lacking being the smilo that usually accompanied his efforts. Mr. Holtzman came to the front, however, and in his talk he made up for whatever he lacked in the way of facts and isiat''lcs by the relation of plenty of gossip. "We have a fine organization," said he, t.!,e me Republicans have none at all. In fact, they are not yet through taking tht thirty-day poll. and. had it not been for an enterprising reporter, who awoke their chaliman from his trance, the Republican would have had no ticket to vote for at all. However, it would have made little differerce anyway, as Chairman Fanning, who is unable to be here this evening has told me to say to you that our organization has done its work perfectly and can count on a ture malority on Oct. 10." Here Mr. Holtzman waited for the applause he expected, but it never came. Instead one old man down in front broke the deathlike stillness with the remark. "Well, they got there at the eleventh hour, and they will get there again on Oct. la." This was the signal fcr the youthful delegatloln. and for a few s jconds there were some hisses heard, only to be drowned, however, by cries of "shut up" and "be still." Mr. Holtzman evidently realized that he had a cold audience, for he sat down and allowed Mr. Taggart to repeat his speech He claimed, in the name of the Democratic party, all the credit for "settling the street car question" and tried to arou?e enthusiasm by saying that "because of the efforts of the administration the ccompany will build a new line to West Indianapolis. This brought forth no applause, except that furnished by the youngsters In front. A typical Democratic meeting was held last night at Shaffer's saloon, at Ray and Meridian streets. It was supposed to have been held by the "Taggart First Voters" of the Fifteenth ward, but most of those present were boys of from seventeen to twenty, who had been attracted by five kegs of beer whlcn were tapped for the occasion. Most of tho youngsters became Intoxicated before the meeting was very old, and showed even a lack of sympathy and gratitude by yelling out "lt down" and "rats" when Councilman Higglns tried to talk to them. He lasted about a minute against the Jeers and insults of the crowd, and gave way to a man named Snyder, well known in the ward. The latter proved to be more than the temper of the crowd would stand, for about half of those present rushed out of the hall and made a raid on a grocery next door and returned carrying arrmoads of tomatoes. Snyder was in the middle of a speech when cne of the "First Voters" let fly and caught him in the face with a ripe one. Others followed suit, and before Snyder could retire enough of the tomatoes had hit him to make him look like a catsup bottle. In the meantime, the beer being exhausted, it was no lorger possible to retain the attention of the "Fiist Voters," although BuPdlng Inspector John Robinson and Andrew Sweeney were in reserve ready to talk. The crowd had had all It wanted ami Hied out after plastering the walls with over-ripe tomatoes and other fruit and vegetables. FREE I1EER OX THE AVEXIE. Mayor Commended for Ilia Er Altitude Tonnrdi the Gamblers. About fltty colored men and boys gathered in a billiard room attached to James Vaughn's saloon at 527 Indiana avenue last night to hear several men who are reported as the leaders of the Colored Independent Club, but who really are the tools of the Democratic candidates to work among the colored voters. Before tho speakers arrived the men congregated la the salooa and filled up on free beer that was being served. At the tame time a. number of young fellows were shooting dice on a billiard table In the next room. About 8:30 o'clock Charles Hubbard, the chalrmm, called the meeting to order and In the course of his remarks told tho young men who were gambling that If they wanted to continue in that way of making a living they must surely vote for Mr. Taggart a9 he had already pro en a friend to the policy men and gamblers in general. After the close of his remarks, Mr. Hubbard Introduced one Lotts. a colored attorney of this city. Eott spoke for ?ome time, telling the colored people that they had enJoyed th wid-open policy of the city. After L.ott. . Allison Sweeney, another Democrat, was introduced and spoke for over two hours entreating the colored voters to lay aside party politics In this campaign and vote for Mayor Taggart. During Sweeney's speech he was frequently interrupted by several men who took exception to his remark, and told him they were not true. At the close of the meeting Chairman Hubb.ird again told the young men present that tc enjoy a liberal policy they must work In the Interest of the present admlr.iMratlon. A young fellow who had become tired of the long and weary speeches tried to drown

the chairman's voice by saying that he thought it time that they were getting more of the free beer, and at this the crowd made a grand rush for the barroom. ' IX THE TIIIRTEEXTII AVAIID. Sir. Dookivnlter Addresses the Donglns CInh, a Colored Orgnnliatlon. A more enthusiastic lot of speakers and attentive and appreciative listeners than those gathered last night In the hall of the Douglass Club, 1013 Shelby street, would be hard to find. The Douglass Club la a colored organization and the occasion was a Republican meeting for the purpose of meeting Charles A. Bookwalter and other candidates on the Republican ticket. Gurley Brewer started the speechmaking with a half-hcur talk to his colored brothers and retired upon the entrance of Mr. Bookwalter, who was greeted with much applause. Mr. Bookwalter had Just left a meeting in the Fourth ward and expressed himself as highly elated over the prospective result of the campaign. He then told the voters what Mayor Taggart had done and promised, and what he had not done, and left with the voters the question as to what might be expected in view of what had passed. He was interrupted many times with applause and was vigorously applauded at the conclusion of his talk. Charles Elliott, candidate for city clerk, then spoke for about two minutes. He was followed by W. E. Henderson, a colored attorney, who was driven from Wilmington, N. C by Democrats on account of his political faith and work.. The meeting closed with a talk by Harry Clawson. Fifteenth Ward Cottage Meeting. In sharp contrast to the Democratic meeting, tho Republicans of the Fifteenth ward turned out well at three orderly and enthusiastic cottage meetings, two of which were held In the eighth precinct, on Kansas street, and the other In the twelfth precinct, on Palmer street. All of them were held by German voters, who have heretofore been supporters of Taggart and Higglns. George H. Drechsel. the councllmanic candidate from the Fifteenth ward, was present and received tho HFfurance of the united support of the Germans of the ward.

City Election IlalloU. The ballots for the city election will be Printed Oct. 3, at the office of the Sentinel Printing Company. In all 127.")Oi ballots will be printed; 500 for each precinct and 2.0U0 extra for each ward. yome of the Mayor's Shortcomings. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The man who has in four years increased the city debt $r09,K)0. with only a few Jimcracks and some farm lands to chow for It; who has squandered a quarter of a million of dollars la the purchase of park lands some four or Ave miles distant from the center of the city from a Democratic syndicate at double their value; who has turned over the streets of the city without competitive bidding for thirty-four years to a shrewd corporation for the paltry sum of J30,CiO annually when reputable citizens at the time were willing to furnish the city with a first-class street-railway opeiated on a 3-cent fare and to make a reasonable cash payment annually to the city and when half u dozen better bargains cou.d have been made fcr the fr.ncn.Ve tnan the one accepted; who has, after an ex parte Investigation as to the cost of manufacturing artificial gas, bound tae people cf Ind'anapolls to pav !? per thousand feet fjr ten year for gas of miserable fjuallty, when It was knewn mat :h vtlue cf tho byproducts In the manufacture of gas abjut equaled tho cost of production and that 75 cents per thousand feet was a liberal price for gas; who has. without a word of protest, allowed a natural gas company to collect thousands of dollars from the peop.e for gas that was never furnished, and . who his made no effort whatever as mayor of tho city to compti the natural gas companies to bring tn the city a sufficient supply of gas, although other Indiana cities are being abundantly supplied with this splendid fuel, and even far-off Chicago; who has done all these things, and many more equally discreditable, under the false pretense of giving tnc city n business administration that man. I say, cannot be elected mayor of Indianapolis for a third term unless the people have lost their fpn?e?. JKrTEKSON H. CLAYPOOU Indianapolis, Sept. 2$. OntaldeOplnlon. The Republicans of Indianapolis owe it not only to the taxpayers of their city, but to common decency to defeat Thcmas Taggart and his bacchanalian boomerp. They will be guilty of criminal neglect If nothing woise, if they let such a politician nd such shameless catering to the lower elements win the mayoralty against decency and morality. Uatesville Tribune. A great deal of interest in the Indianapolis municipal campaign Is being taken by both artlej? throughout the State, as all realize that It will be an important factor In the campaign next year. Not that It will have an especially Important bearing on the general result In the State next year, but in case of Tuggart's defeat, which now seems more probable than ever, it will have eliminated the leading candidate fcr the Democratic gubernatorial nomination from the race. Eogansport Journal. The city campaign at Indianapolis Is now on and we hope for the succfts of the Republican ticket. Mr. Bookwalter asks tho votern" favor for the first time, while Taggart has worn cut the welcome by the frequent calls given him by the public and through their kindness has become wealthy and they may Justly reason that It can hrlng him no additional honors, and the emoluments he no longer needs. Then there have been mistakes made by his administration which must be apologized for, and he now asks for a third consecutive term for a Ugh office, a demand which has generally met with disapproval for such positions in Indiana. Madison Courier. AN EMERGENCY HOSPITAL. Medlenl College of Indlnnn In Plan, nlng to Dnlld One. With the certainty of clearing itself of debt this year and being able to show a surplus of SIO.COO, the Medical College of Indiana is perfecting the details for the construction of a big addition in the rear of the present college building at Market street and Senate avenue. The directors of the college have long wished tp have better clinical facilities, but, aside from the dispensary, nothing has been attempted in this direction. . It is now proposed to erect a new building almost as large as the main building, in which will be located the finest emergency hospital Jn the West. Here all cases demanding immediate attention, that are now hand.cd by the City Hospital, will be taken for treatment, either day or night. A complete outfit of new surgical apparatus. Including the latest Inventions in the way of operating tables and Instruments, will be Installed and. with the dispensary, which will be moved Into the new building, will occupy the entire addition. That portion of the building now occupied by the dispensary will be remodeled for class rooms. It is said by members of the faculty that work will begin within a few days. MESSENGER BOYS' FINES. Iniector McAbee Still After Evidence AKittnst the Coiiipuny. Factory Inspector McAbee is now collecting evidence against the American District Telegraph Company on tho charge of deducting fines from employes. The mothers of a number of the messenger boys have turned In evidence to him. but the company his ?et up the claim that It Is engaged In interstate-commerce business and Is therefor exempt from the stato law?. The department, a Jay or two ago, called up tho company and asked to have a package delivered in Cincinnati, and the company agreed to undertake the delivery. It is the desire of the department to secure from the boys the slips given to them each month In order to secure evidence. Indlnnn Unptlst Convention.

MR. CARSTENSEN RESIGNS

RECTOn OF ST. PAUL'S TO SEVER HIS COXXECTIOX WITH THE CHURCH. Vestry Acted on Ills Reeioet vrlth HeInctnnce Lnst Monday III Reason Given. Rev. G. A. Carstensen, for seven years the rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, has tendered his resignation, to take effect by the first cf the new year. The resignation was presented to the vestry last Monday and was accepted by the members with regret. Dr. Carstensen urged the acceptance, declaring that he felt that a change would be beneficial to both the church and himself. The relations were the most amicable, he said. His action came as a surprise to the members of his church. Wrhen It was decided to accept the rector's resignation a letter expressing regret was sent by the vestry to Dr. Carstensen, in which it was finally urged that he reconsider the action and withdraw his resignation. Dr. Carstensen, however, remained firm and declared his belief that the change would prove a benefit to both parties concerned. Dr. Carstensen came to Indianapolis from New York city in 1SI2 and since that time . has been rector of St. Paul's. He was well liked by members of his church and a short time ago his name was proposed as blshon of the diocese of Indiana. In speak ing of his resignation. Dr. Carstensen reit- ! crated that no misunderstandings existed l & . between the vestry and hlmseir. ana inougn hesitant in tpeaking of his action, said that it was brought about only through a conviction that a change would tend to enliven the church and benefit himself. His plans are unsettled. He will retain the rectorship until the last of the year, or until his successor ho? been chosen. He will remain in the clergy, probably accepting gomo rectorship out of the city. SEW BISHOP ARRIVES. To Preneh Ills First Sermon nt Graee Cathedral Sunday. Rev. Joseph M. Francis, the new bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Indiana, arrived here yesterday evening from Evansvllle and went immediately to the diocesan house, on Central avenue. The bishop was accompanied by his wife and Mrs. Francis's mother, Mr. Stevens, of Milwaukee. Bishop Francis will preach his first sermon here as the bishop of the diocese on Sunday morning at Grace Cathedral. The cathedral will continue to be known as the bishop's church for a time at leapt. Bishop Francis for awhile will have no assistant and will give the cathedral congregation much of his time. Bishop Francis is about thirty-eight years of age. He was raised in Philadelphia, but part of his education was acquired in England. For several years he was engaged in missionary work In Japan. While there the greater part of his time was spent In Tokio, where he was connected with a school for the education of Japanese priests. For about two years Bishop Francis has been rector of St. Paul's Church at Evansvllle. The Bishop and Mrs. Francis were given a large reception by their Evansvllle friends on Wednesday evening. Reformed Church Synod. The Synod of the Northwest of the Reformed Church of the United States (German), mating at the local Reformed Church. Prospect and New Jersey ptreets, has elected Rev. C. F. Kriete. of Louisville, president for the ensuing year. THE PASTOR WELCOMED HOME Rev. Mr. Mllhurn Tells of III" Hxperlenre In En&rliHli tliarchcs. At the prayer, meeting at the Second Presbyterian Church, last evening Mr. Milburn, who has recently returned from Europe, gave an interesting talk of a! experiences there. It was a return to ills old heme, which he 'lfc as a. boy. twenty-livo years ago. He spoke of the great moors crvered with heather and of the o.istes which were built in the eleventh, tv elfth. thirteenth and succeeding centuries, vhlch are still standing and which defy time 'nd the element?. He told of the people, and remarked: "I said to Mrs. Milburn. 'Goodbyo to the land of fees and tips.' It brought the blush to my check to offer a 3 pence, a 6 pence or a shilling as a fee to the men who had escorted us over colleges and churches, and yet if the fee had not been given I would have been thought ungenerous. I would not have thought of offering a fee to a roan in this country." There the churches are endowed rnd supported by the government, and in this country tho church is supported voluntarily. Westminster Abbey is for the people, and the peoplo flock there. After speaking of his regard for all denominations, he described the reading of a service where it was hurried through, chewed and mumbled, any way to get it finished. Mr. Milburn also told of Mrs. Milburn's visit to St. Margaret's Church, where the usher asked her at the door to whose pew he should conduct her, and where she was given to understand that the could not enter. Mrs. Milburn, In a supplementary talk, spoke of the same experience. St. Margaret's is the church of the nobility, where even rude chairs In the aisles are sold for a high price, and no one is allowed to enter unless a member, or as tho invited guest of a member, to whoso pew the guest is shown. Mr. Milburn said he had Seen nothing as beautiful in the old country as the ride up the Hudson from New York to Albany, and spoke warmly of his pleasure in returning to his people. Mrs. Milburn announced that she would resume her class at the Sunday school hour, 9:43, and the lessons for the season would be of St. Paul. Mrs. Mhburn visited Greece and made a special study while there of this Bible chaiacter. Following the service tere was a general welcome from the members to the pastor and Mrs. Milburn. THE FROST ON THE PUMPKIN t - - - A Sight Which Little Boy Ought to Get Vp to See TliU Horning. When the Hoosler farmer gets up early this morning and walks out into the fields where the Lord was very bountiful to him this year, he will find a pale cast over his smiling, yellow pumpkins. If the sun Is bright, he will see the scintillation of millions of wee diamonds as he looks closer at the big fellows ensconced among the fodder shocks or lying along the wreckage of cornstalks. Some say It Is just this change of a night that gives the delicious perklness of taste to the Jloosier pumpkin, and makes- Ita in'ards the sweetest story ever told. It Is the frost that is to bring about this delectable status of the pumpkin this morning, if the word of a certain Mr. Cox. up in Chicago, Is to be believed- Mr. Cox is the man who sends out telegrams from the dizziest story of a sky-scraper to all the local weather bureaus and agricultural stations in this part of the country. This is what he said by wire to the local weather man last night: "Frost probable, in your section Friday and Saturday mornings." There isn't much left in the fields for the frost to hurt except the morning glories and the plows and harrows, which some of the farmer will persist in leaving exposed to the rusting Influences of the weather. The farmer has harvested everything In sight, has been to the state fair and is now ready to plow and sow for his next season's wTheat crop. ROAD TO FORT WAYNE. A 'umber of Local Capitalist Have Ineorpornted One. The Indianapolis & Fort Wayne Railroad Company was yesterday Incorporated, with a capital stock of $10000.

Ills Clerk Charged Him with Crime to Eeape Illmtielf. In Police Court, yesterday morning. Judge Cox, after hearing the evidence, decided that Lon R. Mauzy, a Jeweler, at No. 207 Massachusetts avenue, who was arrested and charged by Detectives Dugan and Asch with receiving stolen goods, was not guilty, and he was discharged. His clerk, George Stewart, who told the detectives that he had witnessed the purchase of Mrs. Fewell's watch by Mauzy, and so testified yesterday, was bound over tc the grand Jury and bond fixed at $500 on the same charge. The little girl who Btole the watch from Mrs. Fewell was In court and identified Stewart, and not Mauzy, as the man who paid her 23 cents for the watch, and said she had never before seen Mauzy. She picked Stewart out from several men sitting on the benches in the courtroom. Mauzy testified in a free and frank manner and contrary to the testimony of Stewart. After the detectives had been to his place the first time, he said he went to Stewart and asked him about the watch and offered, if he (Stewart) had pawned it, to advance or give him the money without charging it to him, to redeem the watch in order not to have any publicity Injurious to his business, which he had conducted for four years. He said Stewart denied any knowledge of the watch. Stewart was convicted about two years ago of petit larceny and served a term in the workhouse. A CITY OFFICE ROBBED TIIK IllHGLAR OPENED A DESK IX THE DEPARTMENT OF PARKS. Superintendent Power Had There Deposited $33 from the Sale of Gravel. A cracksman has robbed the city funds of $33 in cash, and It is up to J. Clyde Tower, the superintendent of parks, to make good tho loss. Mr. Power accepts the Inevitable philosophically, and though he has a slight hope that the thief may be caught and the money recovered, he is ready to go into his pocket for the amount. The police are Investigating the case and the robbery has been kept quiet so quiet that Mr. Power was greatly surprised yesterday when he was asked about the circumstances. Mr. Power said he was confident that the man who did the trick must be familiar with his office. The money had been received from sales of gravel and was placed in a drawer in the upper part of Mr. Power' desk. It was there Monday at noon.t Mr. Pcwer did not open his desk Tuesday. Wednesday morning he opened the dek and found the money gone. An examination of the de?k revealed that it had been pried open with a the or some other Keel tool. The burglar had alto tried to force out the side of the desk where tho drawer is located. It was evident, therefore, that the roan knew where the money rested. The doora were locked when the employes of the office went to work Wednesday morning and nothing had been disturbed but the desk and the money.. THE H00S1LR ATHLN1ANS Come to Indianapolis to Parade and Advertise a Street Fair. Nearly two hundred of Crawfordsvllle's leading citizens paraded the streets of Indianapolis yesterday evening advertising a Ftreet fair which is to take place at Crawfordsville next week. They arrived here on a special train about 3 o'clock. The procession was led by a brass band which made fairly good music and a number of the marchers carried banners announcing what Crawfordsville proposes to do for its visitors next week.

A few people realized yesterday morning that the artists of the comic papers do not fely entirely on their imaginations In depicting the characteristics of those professionals known as "hoboes," "tramps," "weary Watklnses," and the like. There was such a man in Police Court yesterday morning. He had been before an insane commission, and it declined to say he was irsane. and he was taken into Police Court to answer a charge of vagrancy. Covering a head of unkempt hair were four caps. On his face was a matted beard which looked as if it had been uncared for for several mcntbs. Around his neck was tied a red rag. He "wore four coats and several pairs of pants. His clothing was tied together with pieces of rope. Judge Cox asked him if he had any business, and he said he never worked but once, and then he "got something to eat and a suit of clothes when he left." When asked where he had done this work the reply was "a gentleman gave me a job on a rock pile." The judge asked If he would work, and was told that he was opposed to work. He also told Judge Cox. in response to a suggestion, that he "would rather not take a bath." As the prisoner irtlmated that he did not care for another job where board and n suit of clothes would be furnished, Judge Cox asked if he was a good walker. Tne man's eyes brightened and he eagerly suggested to Judge Cox to "try and see." He did. and the supposition Is that the stranger left town. BI FOlit HOITE.
