All is not peace and harmony among the members of the Tailors’ I'nion. During the pa*t year there has been an agreement between the merchant tailors and the mem-

The warrants were brought to me and Judge | Howe be ‘O. K.'d’, as we had been se- j iected from the counsel on both sides to
mutual interest. Several days ago the merchant tailor* were notified that the union would iniiist on certain chauges iu the agreement. It would require that coatmakers hereafter be allowed only one helper each, that trouser-makers he allowed onlv two beipers^each, and that ail

rata has bean levied every year since the limit was made until last year, wtieu it wa* fixed at 6d cent*. This did ^uot produce enough money to run the 'ei»y, $35,175 being carried over to the present fiscal year. With the eame rate we must provide for this deficiency and pay the running ex-
penses of the city.”
“Do you think this can be done?”
“It must be done. I shall insist that the expenditure* be limited to the appropriations, and the appro|<nutioim be not ab-
sorbed until the end oi the year.
“I have noticed fhal all lhe city press sustains the Council in making a sixtycent levy. The press usually reflects nubile opinion, aid public opinion is always in favor of low taxes. 1 observed in Monday’s Newsan editorial commending the Council for fixing the levy at fin cents, and then criticising them for cutting the appropriation for street und allevs, $*.'0,000. nmi that to tha fire department $5,000. If The New* know* how the city con pay lerge sums of monev without taxing the people, 1 should bj glad if it would give the public Its discovery. It would relieve me much. Were 1 to criticise the Council on account of theso cuts, it would be in'aunther direction. In inv lodgment they should have out ny estimates $32 000 more than they did, in order that wo may come out even at the end of the year. But to this 1 may be. wrong, and I earnestly hope that 1 am, for no one will be better pleased than mvself should the Council’s judgment prove to be
right and wine wrong.”

Spaulding fid eents; Fisher «t Talientire, 00 eents; Ganaberg A Roney, 5fi cents; Robert Keouingtoo, 52)4 cents; Timothy Sheehan, 50 cents. Awarded to .Sheehan. The east and west sidewalk improvements of Keystone avenue from t. Ilfiord avenue to Hrooksidc, were awarded to Keller Bros, at $1, grading and graveling Springfield street from Bloomington to Decatur to J. II. Suaulding at fit.20, south side of Seventh •traet from first allev east of Pennsylvania street to College avenue to \V. G. Wasson A Co, at fiOH cents, south sidewalk of Morris street from Meridian street to Dakota ■tree! to Daniel holey at 43 rents. Joseph \V. Beck and Francis M. Beck filed a petition to vecatt that part of Seventeenth eUreel between iilinoisaud Tenues-ee streets. They say the street has never been platted or laid outcast of Illinois street or west of Mississippi street, is of no public utility, and being j/artly upon the levee of Fall creek, n* n c us.a highway will result to great dsn ‘t* ihe petitioners. The board will tu^r the matter under advise-
ment. t

Brookside avenue for $1,1C0.
Henry Clay was granted until October 11 to com tele Ramsey avenue, from Clifford
lo South Brookside avenue.
John C. Wright was granted permission
union met last Monday night to consider
the situation.
In order to understand the trouble, it is necessary to know tliat a popuiar coatmaker may have so rpnch work to do that he will employ several helpers. These heiprrs mar be girls or other persons who are not skilled tailors, and the more helpers the coat-maker has the more money he makes. The same is true of the trousers-maker. The union men who attempted to limit the number of helpers which one of these skilled workmen may nave, took their action, it is alleged, with the purpose of reducing the amount of the work which the oue man can be entrusted w ith will be able to turn out. That done, more tailors would have to be employed. When the union met last Monday night, therefore, it found dissensions in its own rank* and, it is *aid, for the reason that the co*t and trousers-niakers refused to give up any of their helpers or allow the number of helpers to be limited, ns that meant a reduction in the amount of their earning". After a troubled session of the union it is raid the feeling became so hitter that the organization was thoroughly demoralized and is likely to be
disrupted.
NOT SERGEANT FREDERICKS.
It Was Another Fnniily Involved In a Divorce Cnee.
In its report of the Fredericks divorce case, in Judge Walker’s Court yerterday, The News erred in mentioning the persons involved as “^ergt. Julius R. Fredericks, of Arctic exploration fame,” and his wife This was not true as the dottiest c relations of Sergeant and Mrs. Fredericks are happy and undisturbed. 'Ihe persons involved in the suit were John W. Fredericks and wife. The News reporter was misinformed as to the identity of the persons involved. lhe RtK'onstrucifHi iron Hail.

Dr. James D. Maxwell, of Bloomington, died this morning at 9 o’clock at his homa
in that city.
Dr. Maxwell ranked high in his profession and h.s professional duties were always burdensome, bnt be found time to do much to advance the cause of education and enjoved nothing more than the work which ho d.d for the Indian* University of which he has been one of the trustees for thirty years. Being the resident trustee he seemed more intimately associated with the management of tne institution than any other members of the board, and his face and presence I about the university were almost as familiar j as though he had been a member of the i facuitv. One of the university buildings is I Maxwell Hail, named in his honor. The manner in which the building hanpensd to | receive his name show* something of his j disposition. While the building was in ; process of erection, Dr. Maxwell gave ranch time to an oversight of the work. The workmen became greatly attached to him and on the dav on w hich the building was completed they painted the name Maxwell Hail above the entrance. The appropriateness of the name struck evervDody at once and no thought of changing it was ever heard. Dr. Maxwell was the father of Dr. Allison Maxwell, of this city, and there are sevetal other children who survive him. About one year ago his son, James D. Maxwell, Jr., wno wa* associated with him in the practice of medicine, died, aud since then the father ha* retired somewhat from
act ve work.

Released by You dec A he He Comes Here to bee John T. Brush.
Jack Glasscock, the old short-stop of the Indianapolis League ball team, is in the city to-day in conference with John T. Brush. Glasscock is puzzled as to how he stands with the League. He has been released by Von der Ahe, of the St. Louis club, but You der Ahe will uot allow him to sign with any other club. “1 think 1 am a victim of spite work,” said Glasscock to-day. “I was playing good ball atet.Louis.but for some reason which he will not give Von der Ahe released me, after giving me ten days’ notice. I have already received invitations to join three clubs, but Von der Ahe says 1 still belong to him, and will be reserved for next year. I had a telegram from Anson telling me to join the Chicago club at once, but what can I do?” Glasscock is bitter against Von der Ahe, though lie says he liked St Louis, and was well treated there. He had a long talk with Brush this forenoon, but did not get much satisfaction from the visit. Brush told him he had not received any notice of the release by Vonjder Ahe, but would look into it, Iu connection with Glasscock’s visit, there is some talk about the possibility of the twelve club league being cut down in another year. Some men, who watch baseball everts closely, express the belief that, at the clo*e of the season, St. Louis, Baltimore, Louisville and oue other club will be dropped, and that the result will be the formation of another league. Glasscock said he did not know what there was in the talk of that kind. SULLIVAN’S TRAINER TALKS.
William Muidoon, the former trainer of John L. Sullivan, is at the Bates. “I see the New York papers have been attributing to me a good many things I have not said”’ said Mr. Muidoon this afternoon. Of course, I regretted to see a man like Sullivan fall from the position he had so long occupied, but if he was to be whipped I was glad that Corbett was the man to do it. Corbett is a gentleman, and this last fight has pnt the profession on a higher plane.” “Do you think Sullivan was properly trained?” “He wasn’t trained at all. There are six men who could have whipped him. His training was a farce. 1 have had it from those who a-sistea in training him that he was not even provided with training shoes, and that before he had been iu training mauv days sores were on his leet, aud tber remained there until after the fight was over. I am also told that decent towels were not provided. Another thing, bullivan ewas taken down into the sand to be trained, when he ought to have been given hard ground on which to train. Corbett did not need any training. He was in condition the first day he went into training. In fact he built up his weight after he began to train. As you know I was on the Corbett side of the fight, and I gave him what information I had about Sullivan’s manner of fighting. Master Car-Builaers in the City. A company of master car-builders of Pennsylvania, Ohio and other States are in the city to-day. The men who compose the party are from the largest carbuilding establistiments in the country, and are, they say, making a tour of the country to pick up what iuformation they can in reference to their trade. Among the members oi the company are C. M. Mendenhall, Jersey C.tv; H. C. McCarty, Williamsport, Pa.; P. W. Hudson, G. VV. Slayman and B. Curtis, Altoona, Pa; J. A. Graham, FL Wayne, Ind.; K. T.

The Democratic committee is said to be particularly in need of funds, aud the current report it that the object of the recent visits of Chairman Taggart to New York was to plead for help from the national commit tee. The viaita, it ia said, were not wholly satisfactory. The first, it is said, resulted m a promise, and the second in the turning over of a small contribution. The authority for thia story also says that the committee has already exhausted the money contributed by the candidates for State offices, and is confronted with bankruptcy unless the national eomm it tee lends a literal helping hand. It ban not been a secret that ever tinea the movement to establish a branch of th* Nationel Democratic Committee at Chicago there nss been a difference of opinion botween the Indiana committee and the national committee. The Indiana committee opposed from its inception the plan to locate an expensive committee al Chicago, on the ground that such a committee would receive the money that ought to be put in Indiana The Indiana Democrats have never hesitated about expressing the opinion that it was folly to talx about the DemoorAta carrying Illinois, or any of the Northwestern States, and have insisted that the effort of the national committee in that direction should be abandoned and more attention given to Indiana,a State which they believed was sure for the Democracy if it was not neglected in the wild-goose chase planned by the national committee. However, the national committee did uot take the advice of th* Indiana Democrats, and the Chicago branch was established, and it is getting money that the Indiana committee think ought to come to it. On account of all this there is said to be much complaint bv the Indiana com-
mittee.
While the State committees are having a demand for money from all parts of the State, they are being continually harnused by Marion county men. During every hour of the day, it is said, there are from three to a dozen men at the rooms of the Deraocratio State committee who want monev, and “must Dave it, or the party ia gone. 5 ’ The ward-workers who made themselves familiar with Thomas Taggart when he w-as in charge of the county or city campaigns, do not regard him lit any new light since he became the executive officer in the State campaign, and there are at all times of the day some of them at his heels begging for money. While the situation is not so bad at the Republican headquarters, because the ward-workers do not make so free there, there are many demands for money. The men who’have taken an active part in politics for many campaigns express the opinion that there will be a scarcity of money throughout the campaign. They say the big rolls of bills that have come into Indiana during previous presidential campaigns will not be sent this year. Mnst Uve In the Frecinct For SO Day*. The local committees are instructing voters that they must not change their place of residence after October 8. Hotter the new election law, a* under the old one, a residence of thirty days in a precinct prior to election is required, and men who change their abode after a week from tomorrow will find that they have lost their right to vote. In view of the nearness of the limit many young men are trying to “square” things with their landlady so that they may keep their rooms for another month. There are always hundreds of men, both single aud married, in a city of this size who make complaint to the committees that they are unable to maintain their present residence without financial help, r or several days there has been about the committee rooms a crowd of men who plead that they have no money with which to pay their rent, and that unless there is help from the committee they will have to move after the thirty-day limit has expired. Occasionally the committee gives some assistance, hot in the majority oi cases all aid is refused. Legislative Nomination a The people of this county are beginning to wonder when the Republicaas and Democrats will nominate candidates for tha Legislature. Although the election is but five weeks off, neither party has issued a call for the delegates to come together to nominate a ticket, and the oflieers cf both committees profess that they do not know when the candidates «will be named. It ia said that each party is waiting for the other to nominate. \Vben the regular county conventions postponed the nomination of legislative candidates, it was announced that the object was to give the local committees an opportunity to get the consent of first-class men to be nominated, but now it is said that neither committee has been able to induce well-known business men to allow the us* of their names before the conven tion. Federal Supervisors. On account of tfie probability of their absence from the city much of the time. United States Circuit Judges Gresham and Woods have Qualified United States District Judge Baker to pass upon the applications for Federal supervisors at the polls in IndiaiiA To date, applications have been made by the Republicans of about forty counties.

Chars** of Pavuritotaa, and Answers to tike Ch avgoc. Chargee have been made that there ia coliuaioa between the management ot the central insane hospital and various plumbing firms of the eity. These firms, it is neaerted, have made bide at exorbitant rates, but have nevertheless been awarded contracts at their bids ia turn. The allegations involve the firms ef Fenny Brothers, Heaiy & O’Brien and Knight A J Bison. It is said that J. S. Farrell A Co. brought th* circumstances to light by putting in n bid one month at a price hardlr more than half that of the ocher firms bidding. Messrs Canon and Marker, of the board of trustees of tbo hospital, wore asked concerning the chargee to-day. Mr. Carson said; “I haven’t yet looked into the arttele, or th* figures of th* test biddiog. 1 will say that I waa aarpristd when I saw thedifferenc* between th* bid of J. 8. Farrell A Co. aad tho others. Bat I assure you there is oo collusion on tho port of the board. Everybody has aa equal chance to drop his bid in this looked box, and be who bi<^s lowest gets the work. That aa arrangement may be mad* between bidders is a poesioility. Th* board has nothing to do with that If it ic true of plumbing it mer be true of dry roods and groceries and everything else. Sometimes there is a difference of just 25 cents in a five-h und red-dot tar list of dry goods. W# have saved the hospital $50,000 in repairs. We have no pets to favor or enemies to punish. Everybody has a fair chance at bidding, and only money taika Thia is simply an attempt to stir up political feeling. Polities baa nothing to do with thaa* bids.” Mr. Markey said: “Our contracts are all open and above board. We try to givo everybody a fair chance. Especially now, in campaign time, we want to be careful to treat others right and be treated right. I think these firms referred to are mixed ns to polities, anvhow, as far as that goes.” Superintendent Wright referred th* matter entirely to the board. Steward Neidigh said that he bad been wrongly quoted in the matter. “I did not say,” said be, “that we have been trusting to the knowledge of Mr. Markey on all questions as to proper pricea I said that the board had the charge of all acceptances of bida I see if requirements are' fulfilled in the articles after the board has accepted them.” He referred all discussion to the board. THE STRIKE SUCCEEDED.
Non-Union Brick-Work Destroyed at the Demand of Union Men.
The bricklayers and hod-carriers who refused to work on the Butler University gymnasium and power building yesterday morning made their appearance again this morning, and started away with their tools, still insisting that they would not work until a boiler foundation laid under direction of th* college authorities by a non-union man, oat of hour*, was torn down. Aa it is necessary to complete the building at once in order to furnish heatbyoold weather,thedsraand of the men waa aoeeded to and a workman was ordered to remove th* foundation objected to, Th* work in question was not a part of the contract of the employer of the bricklayers, ahd the strikers were in no way concerned in it, except that it happened to bh inside of walls on whien thoy were at work. # An insane Man’s math Escape.
