The request cf City Controller Dunn for authority from the Council to borrow 516'- (), to pay the running expensrs of the city during the months of July.

One of the members of the finance committee said, yesterday, that he fully expected th -eauest from the city controller for the pa?ee of an ordinance for temporary loan?, but did not expect it to be for such an enormous sum. "While the amount asked for temporary loans for the three months this summer is smaller than was borrowed la?t summer, yet the member of the finance committee believes the city can do with consid?rable less than the amount asked for by Controller Dunn. The number of the committee says the books cf the city will be investigated and also th? vouchers will be examiner, to as-rr-rtain, if possible, if the city cannot piy all the bills without borrowing such a large sum of money, lie said, however, if the city is in need of such a large sum the committee will, no doubt, recommend the passage of the ordinance. watch i :vr; tin: stairway.

Hullding IiiKpector Iletlell la an Active "Old Sleuth." Building Inspector Bedell said yesterday that he is keeping a constant watch on the E. F. Claypool building at Washington and Meridian streets to prevent the contractors from placing a new stairway from the sidewalk on the west side of the building to the basement. When a request was made for a permit to repair the basement in the Claypool building Inspector Bedell refused to grant a permit unless the stairway leading to the basement on the outside of the building wan removed. The matter was taken to the Board of Works and the contractors were allowed to proceed. It was stated that the old stairway would be removed and new marble steps with a fine brass railing substituted. Mr. Bedell objected to this and said that while the contractors were allowed to proceed and retain the old stairway he would not permit the old one to be taken out and a new one put In. He says he visits the corner several times a day and alto at night, and the first attempt made to place a new stairway from the sidewalk to the basement will lead to a demand from him to abolish the stairway altogether. WOIIKIXG O.Y SPECIFICATIONS. City Engineer Jean Poring; Over Them by Electric Light. City Engineer Jeup was busy at his office in the basement of the courthouse last night preparing a draft of the new specifications for the lighting contract. The Board of Works ordered Mr. Jeup on Monday to begin work at once on the new specifications, as the board could not receive bids under the old specifications owing to the injunction Issued by Judge Carter. Mr. Jeup stated last night that there will be several changes in the specifications, but did not care to discuss all of them. He taid the new specifications will provide that the conduits shall not be less than two feet under ground and In case the Indianapolis Light and Power Company receives the contract it will not be necessary for that company to build a new plant. He also said the new specifications will provide for an all-night schedule for street lamps, thus doing away with the moonlight schedule. The new specifications will probably be ready to be sent to the Board of Works the latter part of this week. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lowes will go to Buffalo in September.

FIRE AT BROAD RIPPLE CANNING FACTORY VALVKD AT $lO,iitO liril.NED LAST NIGHT. Volunteer Fire Department Savil Residences and Sawmill from the Flames. The Broad Ripple canning factory, owned by II. C. Polndexter, Johnson Pursell and James A. King, and valued at 110.000, burned last night, and caused great excitement among the villagers. The factory was a two-story structure, and near It was a number of residences and the sawmill, which, it was feared for a time, would also be destroyed, but the efforts of the volunteer fire department, which was called into play for the second time during the day, prevented this. The fire started In the northwestern corner of the building on the ground floor, and had secured great headway before being discovered. The building had been idle since las fall, and there was no tire about the pU ce. It was. however, very dry and burn d with grtat rapidity. The fact that the.'e had been no fire in the building for months gave rise to the theory that the flames were of Incendiary origin, but some persons thought the fire might have resulted from a spark from the early morning lire. The building was erected last year, and was used lor the canning of tomatoes. Insurance for about one-half the value was carried. The company has several large patches of tomatoes growing, and it also has made many large contracts. It was not decided last night whether or not an eltort would be made to put up a new building for canning this season's crop. There was a large quantity of machinery in the building, ami it was thought part of this was not so badly injured that it could not be used. TO PROMOTE MATRIMONY OBJECT OF THE LEAGUE OF EDUCATORS OF CHICAGO. Benefits of the Society Mature at MarriageLiterature Tickles Attorney General. "Say, this Is one of the best jokes I ever heard on Captain Hart." declared Attorney General Taylor, yesterday, at the same time laughing uproariously. Mr. Taylor had just finished reading a letter from the secretary of tho League of Educators, of Chicago, addressed to State Auditor Hart. The auditor had written to the Chicago office of the organization to find out about its mode of operation. It claims to be a cooperative concern, and the circulars Issued by it indicate that its chief object is to promote marriages by promising "endowments" or marriage portions to both young men and young women as soon as they are married. The letter to Auditor Hart said in part: "If you will carefully read our literature it will discipline your mind along co-operative lines, thereby giving you a good understanding of the value of purely mutual cooperationwhat people can accomplish by co-operating with one another in this purely mutual way." The secretary of the association declared positively that there can be no constitutional laws in any State that will prevent the members of the league from co-operating together. He added that the league has a large membership in Indiana, composed of the State's very best people, and he expressed surprise that the State Auditor should even question the league's right to carry on its operations here. He said that the State authorities of Texas were once so benighted as to question this authority, but changed their minds when they read some of the league's literature. Mr. Taylor xamined with Interest th large collection of circulars of the league accompanying the letter to Captain Hart. He found that the members of the league will reap Its benefits for faithful co-operation for educational purposes or at marriage. Members must be of good moral character and possess a belief In a supreme being. Provision is made for an endowment "call" on all members in the United States and Canada in favor of any member when his or her certificate of membership expires or when he or she becomes married. "Instead of death maturing the certificates in this league." said the attorney general, smiling. "It seems that marriage does the trick." Mr. Tavlor says he has seen literature of this league containing pictures of yourg men and women who are alleged to have become married through its kindly ministration?, and this literature contains glowing testimonials from the parties in question stating that they not only received their "endowments." but a husband or wile in the bargain, as the case may be. Whon the attorney general came across the statement that the- League of Educators publishes a magazine called The Eligible Vigilant he gave vent to another burst of hearty merriment, which was intensified by discovering further that the lrral branches of the league are styled "elipible gatherings'' The emblem of the league Is decidedly romantic. being a "beautiful heart-shaped badge with an arrow piercing it. engraved in blue enamel." "I d like to have one of those pretty badges to wear on my coat lapel." observed tho attorney general after readir.fr this vivid description of its charms. The papers relating to the league were sent to the attorney general by the state auditor with a letter from the latter relursting the former "to hold a post-mortem or. the league and decide what will happen to me (Auditor Hart If I tell its representatives that thy cannot transact business i:i Indiana." Mr. Taylor was not prepared yesterday to express an opinion as to the igality of the league's method of operation. Headquarter of Ciiiiillriaten.

He Searched the Prlrnte Car Several Times to Be" Sure. A party of happy-faced, brown-skinned fishermen returned to the Statehouse yesterday from a ten-days trip to Star Lake, Wis. It was made up of Appellate Judges U. Z. Wiley and W. E. Henley and Supreme Judge John V. Hadley and Robert A. Brown, clerk, of the Supreme and Appellate Courts. As soon as the "grips" were unpacked the air of' the capltol building became fairly redolent with fishing stories. Judge Wiley took advantage of his judicial position to try to; make people about the building believe he caught a small-mouthed black bass measuring Yß. inches in length. Clerk Brown supported him in this marvellous tale, and In return Judge Wiley said Mr. Brown caught the only large muskalonge that was caught by any of the party. Mr. Brown's muskalonge weighed aboyt thirteen or fourteen pounds. "There is no room to doubt the measurement of Judge Wiley's bass," declared Mr. Brown, "for the tape line was held by Mr. Saulslch. resident manager of the logging and milling company tit Star lake, and he kept a record of the measure. Mr. Saulsich declared he had never seen a bass of that variety quite as large. He said this one must have weighed BVs pounds. It belonged to the very finest and gamest variety of bass that lives." All the members of the party vowed they had never in all their lives before had such a good time as on the trip just concluded. They journeyed to Star lake in a private car loaned by Judge W. O. Johnson, of Chicago. Judge Johnson and W. C. Cook, assistant cashier of the Western State Bank, of Chicago were members of the party. Star lake was merely the base of their operations, - which extended fifteen miles into the surrounding forest. Four days were spent in the lumber camp fifteen miles from the lake. "We were right in the midst of one of the finest deer hunting territories in the United States." said Mr. Brown, "but we did not hunt any deer. The penalty is . $100 per deer. The game warden went through our car several times, however, to see If we had any deer concealed in it. , He was suspicious of us in spite of the air of eminent respectability that was conferred or that should have been conferred by the presence of three distinguished Jurists of Indiana." CONTEST COMMITTEE. Democrat Fnllcd to Elect Committerman in One Precinct. The Democratic contest committee met last night to decide controversies growing out of the primaries t Monday evening. In the fourth precinct of the First ward the committee declared Charles Teastor to be elected, and James Buskel's claim that he was successful in the contest for the committeemanship was of no avail. Andrew Bain was given the decision in his contest with Harry Prv.ett in the fifth precinct of the First ward. The committee decided that there was no election In the seventh precinct of the Fourteenth ward because of the irregularity of the balloting. A DIk McGregor Meeting. The supporters of John McGregor for the Republican nomination for mayor met last night in the County Commissioners offlce. About Ii of the prominent ward workers were present and every ward was represented. Great enthusiasm In Mr. McGregor's bohalf was expressed by the speakers and plans for the success of his campaign were discussed. LOST TRACK OF GEN. M'GINNIS. New York Sun Could Not Answer a Correspondent's Question. The following paragraph appeared In the "Questions and Answers" column of the Xew York Sun, Sunday: "O. B Gen. Gtorge Francis McGinnis was born in Boston in 16; he served as captain of Ohio Volunteers in the Mexican war, and in the rebellion as lieutenant colonel and colonel cf the Eleventh Indiana Infantry. He fought at Fort Donelson. was promoted brigadier general In November, lv)2, and was mustered out In August. He lived in Indiana after the war. but we find nothing of or about him for many years." A clipping of this paragraph was hanJed to FiVmaster McGinnis in his office yesterday afternoon. He laughed rather grimly and nd: "During the war Charles A. Dana, who was then the owner and editor of the Sun. wrote letters to his paper as a war correspondent. He was to hav; served the War Department as a correspondent, but his b-tters were so malignant that the department refused to put them in the rec ord. Mr. Dana knew mc well enough at the time of the battle- of Vicksburg. But, of course, he is dead now." A Place for Charity. American Medicine. The furnishing of artificial limbs, etc., to the poor is a strangely neglected charity.

We do not know if such a systemlzed benefaction exists in the world. And yet it should exist everywhere. The federal government and some of the Confederate States supply artificial limbs and eyes to maimed soldiers. We wonder if this is done by any other government? We see every day boys and men who are prevented from half-realizing the possibilities of their lives, because they must stump about on sticks, with poor crutches, or with but a single arm. Everybody seems to neglect these pitiable wrecks, while ingenuity is exhausted to provide methods of satisfying charity desires. Why should not the State provide these helps for its crippled folk? This would not be a dangerous form of socialism. CLAIMS CURIOUSLY DELAYED. An Honest Claimant Obliged to Wait Thirty Yenr for Payment. Washington Special in Xew York Post. Many queer claims arising out of the civil war are still passed upon by Mr. Tracewell, the controller of the treasury. A few days ago he took action on one which was unusual in several ways, and is notable because of the slowness with which such cases are adjudicated. On July 14, 1S70, it seems that Congress passed an act recognizing as a part of the military force of the United States a company of independent scouts, which served undor Captain David Beatty. This companj' was organized in Tennessee, and had fought throughout the war on the Union side, at no time, however, having been legally mustered into the service of the United States. Xeither officers nor privates received any compensation from the government. The act of Congress was for the purpose of entitling them to the same pay, pensions, etc.. as though the company had been regularly mustered in. The act directed the filing with the War Department of its roll. Soon after the passage of the act George P. Roberts, of Tennessee, made application for whatever pay was due him by the United States. His claim went through the usual channels, and was quickly acted upon, so that in 1S71 Mr. Roberts received a check for $1,064.23. Of this $.61.60 was for service in the army, and $051.20 was for the use of his horse and equipments for the same time. The remaining $151.43 was a clothing allowance. Of course, Mr. Roberts would not have received money for three years service if the records had not shown that he performed them. The War Department files indicated that he had Joined the company Jan. 25. 1502, at Jamestown. Fentress county, Tennessee, and had been discharged as a private June 1, 15. In spite of the testimonj of the records Mr. Roberts sent the certificate back to the government, with a statement that he did not care to accept mony undeservedly, and desired only what was reallj due him. He said that he did not Join Capt. Beatty's scouts until Aug. 1. 164. having before that time been serving under compulsion in the Confederate army. The check was accordingly returned to the government, under date of Dec. 6. lfcti. for reduction. This was nearly thirty- years ago. and yet Mr. Roberts only a few days ago received his money, $210.45, and the old certificate was canceled. After Mr. Roberts's letter of thirty years ago was received, the War Department sent an officer to look up the record. This man reported that Roberts had enlisted as a first sergeant in Company H. Twentyfifth Tennessee Infantry, of the Confederacy. Aug. 5. 1S61. and had deserted Dec. 1, 1S63. Roberts said he tried to leave once before, but was retaken. The claim as finally allowed to Roberts specified that $160.53 was for pay as a private soldier, and $44.92 for clothing. He claimed to have furnished his horse, making affidavit to that, but as the record did not show this, he was not allowed the $351.20, as on the first claim. His honesty toward the government thus resulted in an immense reduction of his check and the necessity of waiting thirty years for it. NVho Will Move the Crops r W. G. Xlcholas. in New York Telegraph. The Colonel Sellers of promotion, the financiers without a dollar and the curbstone speculators are in greater distress over the prospective inability of the giants of the street to provide money for moving the crops and financing the pending huge deals than the big fellows themselves. Two seedy gentlemen were anxiously discussing the gloomy propect in front of a Broadstreet quick lunchery yesterday. "Who Is going to furnish the money to move the crops and float the many big schemes that are ready to be sprung?" asked the seedier of the two. Pausing a minute to allow time for the question to percolate through the gray matter of the other, the speaker continued in a voice trembling with excitement and emotion: "Are you going to furnish it?" The person thus addressed shook his head sadly, and after an impressive pause the first speaker, lifting his voice to still shriller heights, cried out: "Am I going to furnifh it?" A very brief interval was permitted to elapse after the second inquiry, just enough to give th distressed person time to sweep the atmosphere with an extended right arm. At the termination of the gesture he turned full upon the small crowd that had collected to listen to the conversation, and in a sepulchral stage whisper, ejaculated: "Xot by a d d sight." Our National Forester. Washington Letter. Gifford Plnchot would seem to be the right man for the place. He was the first American to take up the study of forestry as a profession, going to the schools of Europe as soon as he had graduated from Yale University. On his return to America he devised and put Into operation, on the estate of Mr. George VanderMlt. at Biltmore, X. C. the first attempt at systematic forest management ever made In this country. He was the youngest member of the committee of six appointed by the Xational Academy of Sciences, the recommendations of which resulted In the proclamation of the reserve made during Mr. Cleveland's last term, and has held his present position In the Department of Agriculture since lsf during which time the w rk of the division has been greatly extended. In brief, Mr. Gifford Plnchot has done more than any other man In this country to make forestry a practical, paying business.

WHEN YOU GO TO BUFFALO

SOME nniEF AND rn.VCTICAL DIRECTION'S TO VISITORS. Pointers on How Rest to Enjoy the Pan-American Exposition Where to Go and What to Do. E. H. Brush, in Exposition Bulletin. There is no place In the world where common sense, good temper and consideration for others are more desirable than at a big exposition, where there are all kinds of people and all sorts of grievance to be met. In going to the Fan-American, be sure to take with you not only a trunk and a large grip wdth plenty of changes of clothing for a long stay and all kinds of weather, but also pack up several pounds of common sense and all the good humor you think you will need for the period of your trip. Do not forget to be reasonable, and do not imagine that somebody is trying to "do" you at every stage of the game. Do not expect a $10 suite of rooms with private bath and telephone In your room and all the other luxuries which go with these accessories for 50 cents or 75 cents a day, including meals and cigars. A great deal of Ignorance and a great many false ideas prevail about the PanAmerican, in spite of the pains that have been taken to make known its beauties to the public and properly inform intending visitors how to get the mcst out of their stay at the Rainbow City. For instance, a gentleman from the interior, who shall be nameless. inquired from an exposition official, upon arriving at the grounds, if there were any lamps on the premises at night, so that he would not be lost in the darkness should he stay In the evening. He was informed that he could prolong his visit beyond the twilight hour without fear of losing his way on account of the darkness. What the impressions of this visitor were when the visions of nearly half a million lights burst upon him that evening must be ltft to the imagination of the reader. The enjoyment of the expedition is largely a matter of Impressions. The creators of the Fan-American have done everything possible to make the impressions received by the visitor as pleasurable as can be produced through the aid of the greatest men and women of the age in the respective fields of architecture, painting, sculpture, science, landscape gardening and electrical engineering. Yet there are always fault finders, and those who come to the Pan-American mak themselves heard, although their number is few in comparison with the visitors who return enthusiastic over their stay. For instance, take the matter of prices for accommodations in Buffalo during the expltlon season. Some people think because it is possible to go to one or two of th hlheit priced hotels and pay fancy prices for princely accommodations, that the same sort of rates prevail generally. This idea should be dissipated. LOW-PRICED ACCOMMODATIONS. As I have remarked, if you are determined to have Waldorf-Astoria accommodations, you must expect to pay WaldorfAstoria prices. However, if you are satisfied with accommodations possessing merely the comforts and conveniences of home, not the luxuries of a Vanderbilt mansion, there is no occasion for your returning bankrupt from the Pan-American. One of Buffalo's prettiest sections is the Elmwood district. It is a section in which few of the houses are more than ten years old. most perhaps not more than a half dozen years old. Everything is new and up to date, and you can travel far and wide without finding a prettier section. Ordinarily there are few boarding houses in this district. This summer it abounds in temporary hotels, many of them apartment houses of brick and stone, well built and fitted up for this summer only as hotels. Besides these hotels, the majority of the private houses are now rooming houses. Broad lawns surround most of them and there are vine-covered verandas and oth r attractive surroundings f a well-kept home. In theso houses good rooms are ordinarily obtained for $1 per night. Breakfast is usually served, if desired, at 25. T-j and 5o cents. Sometimes lower rates than $1 per night may be found, but this Is the usual rate. Cheaper accommodations can. of cour?e. be found in other parts of the city. This is the fashionable residence section, and it is the nearest to the exposition grounds, and on the Elmwood trolly l'r.e, the most direct route to tl.e RainbowCity. Buffalo is a beautiful city, taken as a whole, but like all great o-riter? of Industry, it has Its dirty, smoky, unattractive sections, and the unwary visitor is liable- to find himself located in a hoted or lodging house In such a section, if h does not ako pains to find out where h is going. It Is easy to make inquiry, and the exposition has established offices where reliable: information is to be obtained. The main ofn e of the Official Pan-American Information Bureau is at 213 Ellicott square. The Elltcott square is the largest etfhee building In the world, and occupies a whole block on Main street, so that every one knows where it is and no visitor could miss finding it. There is a branch office of the bureau in the Bazaar building, on the Pan-American grounds. The Bazaar building Is on the north Midway, and immediately in front of the electric tower. The superintendent of the Information Bureau is Mr. W. D. Thayer, a gentleman of experience In af-

The visitor ought to buy copies of the Buffalo papers In the morning before h starts out for his day of sightseeing, for the local papers treat the exposition very generously and abound in interesting descriptions of what is going on at the Rainbow City. They contain many pointers about what to bee and what to hear n the particular day the visitor may be desirou of such Information. An unusual degree of reliability attaches to the reporting of th exposition done for the Buffalo rapers for it is handled through a bureau establi hei by the Associated Publishers of the city. Mr. A. M. Dyer Is managing editor of this bureau, which has an office in the balcony of the Bazaar building. This bureau should not be confused with the press department of the exposition itself, which supplies information regarding the exposition to th newspapers and magaz!ns prefs cf th continent and indeed of the entire world.
