This forenoon ex-Judge I). W. i I Howe and Hngh Hanna, with A. W. ■ ! Wishard, representing the brotherhood, i ; and Attorney Allen for the company, met | ■ at Judge Howe’s office and considered the i appointment of a third man. Four names j ' were proposed, and it was requested | | that the names should not be announced in ! the uress until after a selection had been I i made. The availability of the four men ‘ j proposed was discussed, and it was then I ! decided to postpone the selection until j I this afternoon. In the meantime, the men i proposed were to be consulted, for the pur- i : pose of seeing whether or not they would j
' serve if selected.
The board, when the third member is appointed, will organize by electing Judge Howe chairman. He will be made chairman because as a jurist he will be looked to for the rulings on controverted points of procedure. After the board has organized, each side will present its case, Mnd* the board will then take ud the testimony and consider it, just as is done in a suit at law. To-night the brotherhood will hold a meeting in the hall in the Griffith Block, for the purpose of giving expression to some things it wishes to say to the public. One purpose of the meeting is to formally deny the talk started by some persons that the strike will be revived in case the decision of the arbitrators is not satisfactory. The men want ,the public to understand that they are too honorable not to accept fully the decision of the board of arbitrators. Messrs. Howe and Hanna, and attorneys Wishard and Allen had another conference this afternoon at 3 o’clock, and decided upon a third member of the board, whose name they declined to divulge until they had visited him and learned whether or not
he would accept.

Proceedings Broutrh^Airnlnst the J., M. tfc I. To Qulot Title.
The State Board of Agriculture has brought suit against the J., M. & I. railroad to quiet title. The railroad agreed, in 18i;2, to pay two thousand dollars or so for the benefit of the State Fair, ’he payments to be made in installments. The road was given a mortgage on the State Fair grounds to insure the repayment of the money, but the agreement provided that if the road failed to pay any of its installments its claim against the Fair grounds should be forfeited. The Board of Agriculture, in its complaint, alleges that the railroad failed to pay several of the installments, but has refused to relinquish iis claim to the Fair grounds, and the suit

Robert a>ked that the board return to him these bonds, which he can sell at agood profit, and take in their place $000 in Mudison-avcuuu bonds, which being under the Barrett law were not so eagerly sought for. President Conduitt thought the change would be all right, anu so did Mr. Deirees, bat Mr. Scherrer insisted that the bonds retained must be for the particular improvement on which they are issued. Then there was au argument that lasted three-quarters of an hour, but Scherrer would not give in au inch, aud it was decided to lei City Attorney Bailey pass ou the question.

Four big newspapers of Indiana had come out for Hill, and several influential Indiana Democrats in the northern part of the State bad declared for Hill. “The men who can control delegations and who have very sharp knives are for Hill,” said the Governor, “although there is that effervescent feeling for Cleveland that is everywhere manifested. But Hill’s chances have grown wonderfully of late.” GovernorChase allowed bis secretary to make tho declaration that tho Governor was a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination. The New County Committee. The new Marion County Republican committee met Saturday afternoon and organized by continuing the old officers until such time as it Is deemed advisable to elect new ones. Owing to tho illness of Secretary WTltso, J. W. Fesler was authorized to act as secretary for the tjme being. Tbe contests in the Fourth and Tenth wards were settled in favor of the Harrisomwing of the party. EdwaVd Alberts was seated us the Fourth ward committeeman, and Jeremiah Griffin as the Tenth ward representative. The committee will probably meet iu a couple of weeks to elect new officers. Among the persona proposed for chairman are Justus C. Adams, Harry Adams, W. L. Taylor. M. G. McLain, \V. O. McKinney and Merrill Moores. The party met with irreparable loss. Royal ilftnimer walked out of the convention, announcing that he would be heard from. Criticising the supreme Court .Judges, 'Translated from tbeOcrmsn Telegraph.i Judge McBride, oneoi the Supreme Judges, departed irom here on Friday week, with the understanding that he was going home. A dispatch from Washington City, D. C., was received here the day before yesterday, which proved that this gentleman Pad arrived there with a delegation makina efforts for his colleague (Olds i as successor to United States District Judge Woods. This news caused no little comment In the legal profession here. This movement Is considered highly improper for a Judge of tbe Supreme Court to devote himself to such pursuits, but it is the more unpardonable since the Judge left while co was sitting. It * tbe Supreme Cou its work, and great by the press tribunal, Tt T» not surprising ets are" not decreasing when a judge, under other rrctenses goes to Washington and devote* himself to hit colleague's interest. Tbe Jndgj must be fully conscious that his chances in tbe next election, even should he get a nomination, are slim, or otherwise be would prove himself more ialtbful. PASSED DttWN THE LINE.
17.story of a Claim—It Is Almost Rcductio ud Absunlum.
When the Berkshire Insurance Company buiit its big business block on 8outh Meridian street two or three years ago the contractor failed to complete the work ou time and part of his money was withheld by the company because of tbe delay. The contractor said that the reason he couldn’t oompi te the job according to agreement was because Henry Coburn, tbe lumber mun, had not furnished tbe heavy timbers u»ed in the interior of tbe building as promptly a» he had agreed to do. Accordingly the contractor mads good the loss that be sustained by tbe company’s withholding a part ot his money by withholding on bis part a portion of the money be was to have paid Coburn. Mr. Coburn declared that the fault lay entirely with the Whittaker A Jarrett Lumber Company, of Arkansas, which bad failed to saw the Embers aud ship them to Indianapolie as it bad promised. Therefore, to save himself loss by reason of tbe contractor refusing to pay him all, Mr. Coburn withheld from the Whittaker A Jarrett Lumber Company a part of the money which he was to have paid it. The matter bad at last gone elear down the line; had been reduced to iu lowest terms, as it were, for, although the WhitUker and Jarrett Lumber Company declared that storm* and floods had prevented the prompt filling of Hr. Coburn’s order, no means of shifting the penalty upon old nature’s shoulders was available. Not being able to pass the matter farther down, the lumber company brought suit in the Superior Court, demanding from Henry Coburn the money which he withheld. Argument in that salt is being heard in Judge Taylor's court to-day. HEARD HIS LOUD CLOTHES.
And This Led to Wilson Goins to Prison For Five Yean.
Robert Vt ilson broke one of tbe big plate glass windows of the Model clothing store, one night not long ago, crawled throagh the opening and made himself a New Year’s present ot a complete new outfit of clothing. He entered the store a ragged and forlorn looking negro. He emerged an hour later a colored dude of purest gay serene. A new suit of load pattern set off bis shape—so load it could be beard. A derby bat of approved style sat jauntily npon his bead. Patent leather those adorned his feet. Wide cuffs, a prodigious collar, a red necktie and a silk handkerchief completed hia attire. V. But Mistai. Wilson forgot one fact; it was a very small matter, bat W Li son might have been a happier man to-day hod his memory been better. Having no farther use for tbe anesent rags which he had worn before, he loft them in th* store. In a pocket ia those razs was a piece of paper benriag his name. When Detective Thornton went to arrest "Wilson, be hesitated. Coaid it be that that elegantly appareled person had ever worn
knife and ended his chapter.
The brilliant Frenchmen got the ratio of chewera too great, and be knew when ho wrote those lines he was placing a chasm between them aud truth. Probably Mr. O'Kell eot mixed op, and saw such a shocking sight ia a street car, but certainly not at tbe theater. Ho admits that the ocly misstatement in his first book on America was that “Americans had a high appreciation of humor.'' Possibly he intends his remarks about Indianapolis as humor. It remains to be seen how appreciative Indiauapolis will be of this kind of
“humor.”
