K. ShUleler. reyigned, came yesterday as one od the greatest surprises state officials have experienced in a long time. The fat that Mr. Martin had been considered fJr the position had been carefully guarded and none of the state officers, except Auditor Hart, knew of it. The appointment was the reigning sensation o the Capitol building the whole of yesterday afternoon. Mr. Martin was asked If he would accept the pojltlon. "When the members of the prison .board offered me the place several days ago." he said, "I refused It, but now I cannt say what I shall do. A matter like thf deserves the most careful consideration". The interests of the institution ought 2o be considered, my own interests ought jo be taken into account and many other (hings must be carefully weighed before ?I make up my mind. I shall try to deciie the matter promptly, but do not think Ji can announce my decision for two days yvt." Vher Mr. Martin's views, as above expressed were conveyed to other state officials he opinion was expressed that he would leclde to accept the position offered film. Everybody about the State building seemed pleased that Mr. Martin had bfjn thus preferred. "If the prison board jhas appointed Mr. Martin," said Oovern'or Durbin, "It has done splendidly. There js not a better man In the entire State tfian Frank Martin." "I hooe Mr. Martin will accept the wardenshiii of the state prison." said Col. Charle E. Wilson, the Governor's secre i tary. for he is an Ideal man for the place." "I do accept not know whether Mr. Martin will or not." said Secretary of State Hunt, Jbut I do not think the board could have flund a better man in th st:it rf Indian'. He Is strictly honest and thoroughly icompetent." 'If you were to print my opinion of Frank ;iartln." said Attorney General Taylor, "it would make him blush with confusion. -: So 1 will content myself with saying tha.t the appointment is all that anyone coirld wish. I hope he will accept." There was considerable speculation In- " Julged as to the possible effect of Mr. Martin acceptance of the wardenshlp t lipon tri race for state auditor before the nexl Jpubllcan "täte convention. Several etat oTtielals declared that it would mean that Frank Doran. of La port e, would land th nomination without a doubt. "Of course,' said one official, "the Democratic and independent organs will bellow long and lod that the prison board made this appointment as a part of a wily political Cheine .to sidetrack Martin from the race .for auditor, but if Martin thinks that Is the case he can very easily nip the 'scheme' in the bud by refusing the appointment." A tel-gram to the Journal from Mr. E. II. Neb.-'ker. a member of the prison board, last n!fht stated positively that Mr. Martin hAd.txien elected to the wirrdenship. Mr. Sfcldeler will retire on Nov. 1. BIIAKEMAN FOUND DEAD. JamraF. Hardy found .ar the Belt llnilvrny Trucks. Jame F. Hardy. brakeman, who lived nith hii wife and two children at U73 Silver avijiu.

KERN ENTERS THE CAMPAIGN SI'KAKS AT DKMOCRATIC MCKTIXG AT AI.IIAMI1IIA HALL.. More Villifientlon of the liepnhlicnn Cnnilldntfa Inspector F"lKht Abandoned Political Notes. The nearer the time approaches for the voters to ro to the polls and ca?t their ballots for a new mayor the larger and more enthusiastic grow the crowds that attend the meetings that are beinjr. held nightly in the interests of the Republican ticket. Last night an open-air meeting was held on a number of vacant lots at the corner of "Washington and Dearborn streets, and the crowd was -o large that it overflowed to the street car tracks in the middle of the street. The greatest interest was manifested in the utterances of the speakers, and after the regular list of orators had been exhausted the crowd insisted on hearing from other well-known political speakers in the crowd. The first speaker Introduced was Kdwar'd F. Itobison, and it wasn't live minutes until he had his hearers applauding and cheering the hits which he scored against the Democratic administration. He pointed out the manner in which the city's franchises had been practically given away since Democrats took charge of the city's affairs. He spoke of the miserable financial status in which the city now found itself as the result of the tifty-nine-ccnt levy and the temporary loan policy which Mayor Taggart had pursued, and then drew a comparison between the management of affairs in the State and county by Republicans and the affairs of the city as they have been administered by the Democrats. "To those of you who have been students of municipal affairs and are interested in the welfare of your city," said Mr. Robison, in conclusion, "it is unnecessary to say that the administration of affairs in this city by the Democrats has been a maladministration and that it is time we are having a change. Turn the administration of the affairs of this city over to the Republican party and at the end of two years you will find yourselves extricated from the deplorable state of affairs into which Mr. Taggart has plunged you. The citizens of this city will then be able to point with pride not only to a model government In State and county, but In the city of Indianapolis, as well." Charles P. IJenedlct confined his remarks exclusively to the financial policy which Mayor Taggart has pursued during his three terms, showing that when the city Government had been turned over to the emocrats the city was comparatively free from debt, but that within a space of six short yearj it had reached a point where it could no longer borrow a dollar because it was up to its constitutional debt limit. "Where has this money been ' expended ?" asked Mr. Benedict. "Not on your streets, lor the miles of improvement to which Mr. Taggart Is calling your attention to-day were paid for by the front foot by the abutting property owners. Not on your sewer systems, for they were paid fcr in the same way. It Is hard for them to explain what has become of this money, with all of their sophistry. I could not tell you where it has gone if I tried for a hundred years, but this I do know, that we haven't the substantial benefits which would have accrued to the city had its affairs been administered by the Republican party." Judge Stubbs. candidate for police judge, arrived while Mr. Ilenedict was speaking, and when the latter had concluded he rerponded to the calls of the crowd and spoke to them on the Issues of the campaign for more than half an hour. In conclusion he paid a high tribute to the worth and ability of Mr. Rookwalter. "H is honest and fearless." said Judge Stubbs. "and will give you a clean, straightforward business administration if he is elected." George W. Harris. William Long and a number of other speakers followed Judge Stubbs. AT ALII AM IUI A HALL. John XV. Kern Mnke His Kirnt Appearance of the Campaign. "Gentlemen, you know me. I am no John W. Kern nor Mayor Taggart nor a lawyer, and can't make a speech, but I want to tell you that us Democrats have kept all our promises. This is all 'bull con, fellows," continued James D. Moriarity, evidently alluding to the remarks made by the speakers who preceded him at' the Democratic meeting at Alhambra Hall last evening, "but 1 want to say that my friend Kelly, from the Kleventh ward, and myself, of the Tenth ward, will be elected, and then we will open Alabama street, in spite of the railroads or any. opposition." Mr. Moriarity made other remarks, but he stopped in the middle of his speech because the crowd was rapidly leaving the hall, and even the "faithrul" gave him the nod to cease. There were about 125 men and boys and two women In the hall during the evening. A few grew restless and left the place, and others left because there were no refreshments, not even cigars. Mayor Taggart was down on the bill, and so was John W. Holtzman, but the chief attraction was John W. Kern, who made his tirst speech of the campaign. There was plenty of "mud slinging" by Mayor Taggart and Mr. Holtzman, but Mr. Kern appealed to the men with eloquence and asked them to vote for Charles Maguire et al. Mayor Taggart gave divers reasons why the men of the Kleventh ward should stamp the rooster, and among others said that the Democratic candidate for councilman, Michael D. Kelly, had always looked after their interests, even to bothering him for jobs for his constituents. Alluding to August Tamm, he said that "any of you that have had dealings at Tulice Court know him to be a man that Is all right." This remark caused the more intelligent of the crowd to consider it an Insult toward them, for they said that they have never been in Police Court, anil therefore had no dealings at the city clerk's otTlce. John W. Holtzman tried to impress upon hi hearers that he was never more earnest in his life In suppert of a Democratic candidate than he is for Maguire. He said the Democratic speakers were not tryinK to secure Republican votes, but he appealed to the Democrats to see that all their friends voted early on election day. Mr. Kern spoke so long the crowd grew tired. He said that men should not sell their votes and tried to point out to the satisfaction of the crowd why Maguire should be the people's choice. He wasted many word in praise of the Democratic party and attempting to show why the Democrats should give their approval of Taggartism by electing Maguire, but not once did he say anything about the franchises that have been granted to various corporations by Mayor Taggart and Ids Board of Public Works. Only once during: the entire evening did the crowd show any enthusiasm, and that was when Mr. Kern spoke of "our forefathers shedding their blood for the right to vote." This speech brought forth applause, but his argument about the g:eat:ies of Tagrjartlsm caused only a few professional handclapjers and candidates in the front row to applaud oceaionally. The close of the evening's programme was greeted with -iKtis of relief and a scramble was made to line up agaiit a bar at a nearby saloon where the faithful were given free" beer. WAHitAvrs ur'.iti: woimii.i:. They Were ot iool I ntil Controller eciiretl l.nte l.onu. l)!-pite the fact that City Controller Diiim, spurred to desperate efforts by the charges of Mr. Dookwaltcr to the effect

that the city was Indebted to the county for last year's rent for the basement of the courthouse and its share in last year's tax assessment expenses, found, after a lengthy search, warrants for the amounts due, which he claimed had been reposing' in the dark corners of a pigeon-hole uncalled for since last December, It is nevertheless true that the warrants were of no more value than the piper they wtre written on. because the city had no money with which to pay them. The i.m) which the city obtained as a temporary loan on Monday mad the warrants good, and County Auditor Smith hastened to make a demand for them while the money was in the treasury. Mr. Dunn turned the two warrants calling for over to the county yesterday with a sigh of regret. two color mi .mi:i:tigs.

Addreajien Mnde ly Prosecutor IlnckelMlmiin mill Olli er. The colored voters of the Eighth ward held two rousing Republican meetings last night. The first meeting was held at the corner of Michigan and Spring streets and was attended by fully 150 colored voters, all of whom evinced a deep interest in the short political talk3 which were made to them by Prosecutor Ruckelshaus, James F. Collins. James 11. Lott and Louis C. Uauer. As soon as one speaker would conclude his remarks he would hasten away to the second meeting at the corner of Pratt and Oriental streets, where a crowd of colored voters nearly as laige and oulte as enthusiastic were assembled. The remarks of the speakers were particularly addressed to the outrages which the present administration has permitted the colored people to suffer at the hands of the "IIunRaloos." "Do you want a continuation of this state of affairs." asked Mr. Ruckelshaus, and almost in the same breath every man within range of his voice shouted. "No." "Then I say to you." said Mr. Ruckelshaus In conclusion, "go to the polls on election day and take your neighbors with you. Cast your ballots for Charles A. Rookwalter and you will elect a mayor that will see to it that every citizen, whether white or colored, is protected in his civil rights." A MOS STEH RALLY. Republican Will Wind I p the Cam. pnlgn on Saturday .Micht. The Republicans are making preparations to wind up the campaign with a monster mas3 meeting, to be held at the corner of College avenue and Nineteenth street next Saturday night. This meeting will be addressed by Charles A. Rookwalter, John L. Griffiths. William L. Taylor. Representative Jesse Overstreet and other wellknown political speakers. Recognize Republican Inspector. Although the matter of the appointment of the Republican election inspectors is to be finally determined In the Superior Court to-day It is known that the Democrats made up their minds to concede the legality of the appointment several days ago. The Democratic members of the Roard of Election Commissioners have been intimating as much for several days, but it was made plainly apparent yesterday when the Republican Inspectors were formally notified by Chairman Fanning of his appointment of Democratic Judges and clerks in the various precincts of the city. The fact that Chairman Fanning recognized the Republican Inspectors by serving them with legal notices of his appointments practically ends the controversy between the two political parties, and the decision of the court will be a mere legal formality. evr Precinct Mups. The new precinct maps for the city election, drawn by Thomas W. Potter, include the Insane Hospital property, which has been added to the fifteenth precinct of the Twelfth ward. The addition of the hospital brings about 1,7) votes Into the city. The map also shows the addition of a strip at the National road and Eagle creek, containing no votes, and a voteless strip cast of Rural street between the Panhandle tracks and English avenue. Democratic Scheme Fail a. A Democratic scheme to have Republican voters move from one precinct to another so that they will lose their votes has not proven very successful, despite the inducements offered in the way of a month's rent, a ton of coal or a cash bonus. The schemers have attempted to carry out their plans among the poorer classes, to whom a month's rent would be a big consideration, but in most instances their offers have been indignantly refused. Democrats Vlalt Factories. The Democratic candidates confined their attentions yesterday particularly to the Fourth and Fourteenth wards. Visits were paid to the Udell ladder works, the Reeml.3 bag factory, the glue works and a number of smaller places. OlTSIUIl Ol'IMO.V. Henionil!llty of Ilepuhlicaii ot Limited Ut the City. South Rend Tribune. The Republicans of the capital must not forget they occupy a peouliar place. The eyes of the Republicans throughout the State are upon them. Their responsibility is not confined to the limits of Indianapolis. They covet official recognition, and they should therefore remember that the shade of their colors, the character of their work, the results obtained at their city election will have a powerful bearing upon the recognition accorded them by the Republican party in other parts of the State. If they cannot or will not help themselves, can they expect to receive what they desire? The Indianapolis Republicans must win a victory and show that they are in battle trim. They owe it to their city, to the State and to the Republicans of Indiana. To win that battle constant and increased energy is needed. State la Intereated. Goshen News-Times. The citizens of the entire State are to a great extent interested in the present campaign of the city of Indianapolis In which the Republicans are exerting every energy to relieve the city of Taggartlsm. which is synonomous with municipal misrule, constant increase of the city's indebtedness and more consideration for corporate interests than the taxpayers' welfare. Tho Republicans and reform element are being supported by the independent voters and ell the newspapers but one in their effort to overthrow the Taggart machine. The issue Is Taggartlsm rs thoroughly as if the Wily Tom were again the candidate instead of his figurehead, Maguire. And the reports lnnicate that the campaign for reform Is certain to win. If there is no let up until election day, Oct. 8. and Rookwalter will likely be the next mayor of Indianapolis. SOUTH SIDE IMPROVEMENTS. MeethiK Helil I.nut Mehl to Dinctina Mrcet-l'nr Etciittlon. The South Side Citizens' Club held a meeting at the corner of Downey and Wright streets last night to discuss th status of the movement to extend the South East-street car line to Madison avenue, and incidentally talk over other South Side Improvements. The committee having In charge the proposed extension reported that the Roard of Works had promised to "take up he matter." The club instructed the committee to continue work and get a decision from the board, one way or the other, relative to what it' will do. The proposed extension i from the end of the South East-street line to Midison avenue connecting with the (tartleld Park line. The club also talked over the extension of the Shelby-street line west of Southern avenue to the south side of Garfield Park, hut it was decided to postpone this matter until spring and push tne other extension. Since the organization of the club it has accomplished several Improvements, or secured the promise of improvements. Several electric lights hsve h en assigned to the vicinity In which Hie meeting was he!l. but for s .me reason they have nev-r be-n put up.

DAY WILL BE SET ASIDE

INDIANA SCHOOLS WILL Oni:ilYK HARRISON MEMORIAL DAY. Contribution Will Re Accepted from Children C.eneral Pouter I)lcnnen the Memorial. An unusually interesting meeting of the Harrison Memorial Association was held at the University Club last night. There was a full attendance of members of the association, and the guest of honor was General John W. Foster, the distinguished diplomat and ex-member of President Harrison's Cabinet. Superintendent of Public instruction Jones appeared before the association by special invitation, and conferred with the members in regard to a plan for raising money for the memorial among the school children of Indiana. Professor Jones gave his hearty consent to the association's request that he issue a proclamation setting aside a certain day as Harrison Memorial day In the public schools of the State. On this day special programmes will be observed In the schools and contributions will be accepted from the children. A limit will be placed upon the amount that any child may contribute, the reason for this being that if no limit were fixed the poorer children would be embarrassed by the larger contributions from those better off financially. Professor Jones was Informed by the association that in all probability subscriptions will not bo solicited from school children for the McKinley memorial, and he therefore decided not to postpone action on the Harrison memorial subscriptions until he could communicate with the McKinley Memorial Association and ascertain its plans. Most of the members of the association made brief informal talks touching upon the plans of the association and expressing their gratification with the success of the movement thus far. All declared themselves ready and willing to "take off their coats" and do the hardest kind of work needed to raise the amount necessary to erect a fitting memorial to Indiana's distinguished son. Several men who have already subscribed large amounts said they were thinking seriously of doubling their subscriptions. General Foster was asked for an expression concerning the meeting and the prospects for the association realizing its aims. "I find the affairs of the Memorial Association in excellent shape," he said, "and 1 think they are going to make a good report of Indianapolis and Indiana. The meeting to-night has been quite encouraging to me. 1 think we are going to succeed in putting up a monument that Indiana will be proud of." Called on 1'. L. Jonen. A committee appointed recently hy the Harrison Monument Association visited Frank L. Jones, superintendent of public instruction, yesterday afternoon and invited him to attend the meeting of the association in the University Club building last night. Mr. Jones was to be requested to issue a general appeal to the school teachers of Indiana to obtain small contributions to the monument fund from the school children. Mr. Jones said yesterday that on general principles he is opposed to asking school children to contribute to anything, but that In this case he would probably suspend the rule. He said he would, however, communicate with the McKinley memorial commission In Cleveland. O.. and if that body has a similar project In view, he would direct a general contribution from Indiana school children, and when It was made divide It between the Harrison and McKinley memorial associations, thus avoiding the necessity of making two separate collections for kindred objects. OPENS FOR BUSINESS. l'reaideiit Dougherty I'leaned TvitH Union Surety Company. Hugh Dougherty, a well-known banker of Rluffton, and prominent In State political circles, was In the city yesterday for the purpose of seeing how the Union Surety Company, of which he is president, progressed on the first day it opened for the transaction of business. Mr. Dougherty expressed himself as highly gratified with the prospect for the company's success. "We have done considerable business today," he said, "much more than we had expected, since we have not begun the work of soliciting. The public is just beginning to learn the advantage of surety companies. Where there is an opportunity to secure corporate bond at reasonable cost, no man need annoy his friends by asking them to become sureties for him. Many institutions that have not been bonding their employes will now do so, because this company affords them the opportunity of securing bonds without troubling their acquaintances. In my opinion, the Increase of the corporate surety business that is bound to come will benefit society, for It will require men to be of good habits in order to secure bonds. And an employe that is under bond to a corporation, knowing that he is beinr? observed by It. will hesitate a long time before he attempts any crooked dealings." K. M. Johnson, secretary of the new surety company, has already commenced the work of establishing agencies throughout the State. He said yesterday that every countysoat in the State, and most of the other cities and towns, will have agencies. The company has power, tinder its charter, to establish agencies In thirtyfour States of the Union, and President Dougherty announced yesterday that all of these States will have agencies by the first of January. lio2. Secretary Johnson has already received a number of applications from outside States for the privilege of conducting agencies of this company. BUTLER COLLEGE OPENING. More Students Than I snal Tlila Year Fraternities Active. The forty-seventh session of Rutler College began yesterday with the registration of students. Classes will meet to-day, but regular work will not begin until tomorrow. The number cf new students who entered yesterday exceeds that of any previous year. When all the old students return the registration will exceed, that of last year. All the rooms at the college residence are taken, and the dining room is crovded, while ihe boarding club, under the management of Emsley Johnson, has all that it can manage. The resilience is under the direction of Miss Cornelia Allen, who is also assistant professor of English. She, with Professor and Mrs. J. I). Forrest, have been abroad during the summer, studying. The residence has been greatly improved since last year, the lower rtoor bcinK repapered and hard-wood floors being laid in the west parlurs. The only change in the faculty is tho filling of the place as professor of Roman languages, made vacant by the death of Mr. E. W. Abbott, by Professor Percy R. Rurnett. for the past two years head teacher of Spanish in the 'Idea go High Schools. Professor Rurnett will arrive to-day. Professor W. I). Howe, who is sick at his home, expects to meet his classes the first of next week. The Y. V. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. Associations have had their room repapered and refurnished, and will start the year in a better condition than ever before. Not only has the increase of students been in numbers, but the class this year U above the average. This has given the fraternities plenty of work. The rushing began Monday, and the rivalry is intense. The "fr shies" are flattered and pulled about In every possible manner. Owing to a rushii'g season, which all of the fraternities have agreed to. no student can be "spiked'' for several weeks. The fraternities opMji with the following members: Sigma Chi Theodore Nance.

TEN-YEAR-OLD CRIMINAL. lie Secnred Twenty-Five Cent on a Fraudulent Scheme. Richard Walker, a ten-year-old colored lad. has proved himself a chap of unusual resources and cunning. Some time ago he was arrested for the theft of bicycle license tags. Last night he was arrested by Detective Rray. He went to the home of Mrs. Margaret Spottswood, North Ala-r bama street, and exhibiting an old building and loan association book, asked the name of the family living there and then told that a sum of money had been telegraphed to them and that it would be sent by special messenger as soon as he got back to the office. He said his charges were 25 cents, and it was given to him. Inquiry by the family at the telegraph office showed the fraud, and the police department was advised. HUSBAND'S FIENDISH ACT MAY CAUSE THE DEATH OF MRS. SAMl'KL l lSIIHACIv. She Claim He Hurled n I.iKlited Lamp at Her, C'nuMine Fntnl II urns llrae Attempt to Save Her. Mrs. Samuel Fishback. colored, who lives at l'j West Ohio street, was taken to the City Hospital late last night suffering from burns, which cqvered about two-thirds of the body. Her clothes caught fire from a lamp, which was broken eithor accidentally or from being thrown at her by her husband. John Navin. W. G. McGuire, James Holland, colored, and one or two other men, who were at a livery stable on the north side of Ohio street were startled by a number of shrill screams shortly before. 11 o'clock. A moment later they saw the woman rush into the street with her clothes aflame. She started eastward and as the flames rose about her face began turning round and round. In an effort to get away from them. She kept turning until she fell upon the ground. Hy that time Navin, ' McGuire and Holland had reached her. Holland, who had taken off his coat while running across the street, wrapped It quickly about her head, but she tore It off. It was replaced and torn away again. Navin and McGuire were fighting the tlames with their hats and coats. John Raase, a hackman. who saw the fire about a square away, arrived and tossed a blanket to Holland. He wrapped It about the woman's head and the upper part of her body. The men beat at the flames and kept tearing away at her clothing until the fire had been extinguished. She was taken to the City Hospital. - While seated In the chair and at the hospital the woman said her husband threy a lamp at her because she had started out late to a lodge meeting. Fishback was about the place alter she had been taken away, although he ran while the men were trying to put the fire out, and said his wite had accidentally overturned the lamp. She said they had not been on good terms for several days. He was taken to police headquarters and held on a charge of assault and battery. At the hospital It was said the burns might result fatally. LOCAL COUNCIL MEETING. Mr. May Wrigrlit Sewnll Talk on "International Work. The Local Council of Women met at the Propylaeum yesterday afternoon. The delegates from the Indianapolis Rlble Society and from the Woman's Exchange were absent and no reports were made. The club was addressed by Mrs. May Wright Sewall, her subject being "International Work." Mrs. Sewall expressed a feeling In which she thought all participated, of solidarity, when the fact was considered that twenty-six countries have national councils, all of which are considering the same subject. She continued: "And when the influence of these councils is contemplated one must, in the past few weeks, have asktd oneself, 'How far am I responsible for a condition of society which would make possible the slaying of the President?" The first act the ouncll can do is to nurture respect tor law, no matter how bad that law may be. The best way to prove a law bad is to obey it to the letter. When one hears such anarchistic outbreaks as often fall on one's ears and reads such words as seen in the papers recently, coming from the mouths or ministers of the gospel, we realize that anarchism is more deeply rooted than we like to believe it to be In this progressive country of ours. In coming Into this council an organization does not, as Is ofien feared, lose any of Its power, but rather is its power augmented, since we are all members of one body."
