That there has been damage to the wheat drop la, perhapa. beyond doubt, but tha really fmportant question of the axtent of the dam* aga la bard to detarmins upon. There la iMuaHy so muob exaggeration u< crop-damage reports, and there la now to much contradiction. that a aafe conclusion ia hard to reach. It la thought by m»xkr that the damage has not been hexTy and that wheat will look much bettar alter a season of favorable weather. The dry weather of Xanaaa and Nebraska, where ’tSs (■aid there have been great dhat atorma, ia worked for ail It la worth on the “bull” side. The dry Weather of southern Caltlornia is also partly responsible for the upturn in nricas. The damage in these nieces seems to be rather Tt matter of prospect than of llac*. Probability of wet weather in these places weakens tba market, and-fear of this caused part of todgjr’e easier, feeling. Occistonel showers in were predicted lor Sunday afternoon.

B. B. Perry, l^ianapoiis correspondent of the Northwestern HIUm. has received reports from millers at Seymour, Terre Haute. EvansvlHb, Princeton, ^oonville, Franklin, Middletown, Anderson, Ft. Wayne. Qoeben, Mario^ »ad Bedford, all of whom speak of the crops ia their territory. According to these reports from ell points, except Franklin, the damage is eUght. Nearly all admit of some damage, but ell agree that it is light and •ay that a few days of favorable weather will show their view to be correct. The report from Franklin estimates the damage at 50 per cent., tbough advle«i from other points near Franklin Indicate little it any damage. In ISact the farmers themselvea are much divided aa to the effect of the reeent freeze. THIS rcAB Ann 1S((| a The anddea upturn in prices cauies comparison with 1890, when a similar rapid adv.%nce ocaurrsd, owing to a severe cold wave which . oanaed heavy daroaga. The cold wave then waa on March A This year it came twenty days later. At about the time of the cold wave then prioea kept dose around 9B#7?c, which in those days were considered gather low prices. The damege was genuine then, hut H took a long time to find ii out. Prices did not begin advencing until April 10, over a month aft#r the cold wove. By May 8' they bad gone from 80c to |1.00. They after-

ward eaaed about 5c.

Thofs were great days, but conditions were only slightly aimilAr to the prescut. The damage raporta came from a much broader territory than thla year. The visible supply then wee 2a,000,000 buanels, againat Tl.OCO.OOO now. Tb«re wea more demand lor cash and less tor “wind” wheat..'

The h^ market this week has been a succession oi sururiscs in resnect to receipts and prices The market lor the week opened with a decided increase in receipts over the corresponding time the previous week, and prices as a consequence declined fully 5e a 100 Bounds. On Moodgy the receinta did not warrant a further slump in values, but other markets reported libeilal supplies and decidedly lower prices, and buyers here, taking advantage of these reports, .orced a dec.lne ot lullv iCc. This now made the average lully 15c a lUO pounds lower than the close, ot the preceding week. On Tuesday with strong competition between buyers there was a sham upturn t >n prices and the previous two days’ decjine was lully recove.eJ Avetage prices now were f4.'rt*-l.80 or the leadang grade*. The same brisk comLctulon between packers and shippers that crifracterLed, Tnesiiay's market was noted Ayedne-day, auld while extreme pnees showed no change, ihfe average was lully 6c higher, sales be ng largely at |4 77V'*-®. Pr.ces api arently were getting too high tor packeis, and on Thursday they dropped out. THis. however, dia not affect values any, but 'on <he contrary they advancea another 1-ca hundred pounds on account o' brisk coihpeiition between shippers, and sales were as nigh as f5. the highest price paid since Mareli 9. The close ot the week oui.d packers still practically out. otffhe market, but shipping orders were still liberal, and with a heavy inireoge in receipts prices deoltobd only about compared with the previous day. For qn extreme, top prices during* the vv^k weie 20c higher than the opening and Sue higher then the JOw time. The toliowiiig shows the daily range in prices ot the leading grades lortl e week;

The cattle, market this week for the most part has been steady for good kinds os compatad with last we4k. For butcher cattle, however, the demand, has not been so urgent and saleamen have found some trouble in maintaining values. Choice heiiers have been scarce, and at nearly all times thev have sold as well oa quoted, but ior undergrados and cow stuff It haa 1 been a question at times whether or not • prices were steady. Bullv have snfiereU a decline ot 26 cents to some qasea and with a too plentiful eujmly ot caUev the usual lesult was shkrply lower nnees, Tne cau mprket was especially bad tne last of the week hhd values were lully ]P2.00 a hundred ponndd lower than the preceding week. , Good export and shipping cattle have sold at strong prices when there there was enongb here to make a market, and the oicse of tba week fonnd the mark« in good conettloii, lor these grades.

IRVINGTON NOMINATIONS.

Convention Called by a Committee ot Citizens Names Candidates.

Town officers were nominated in Irvington last nignt. The largest convention in the history of the suburb met at the schoolhouse. It was called by a committee of citizens who met irrespective of party and expressed the belief that the improvement in the town government could and should be brought about. These citizens selected several candidates and this was sufficient foundation for the report that a “ring," variously and good naturedly denominated as “Kuklnx” and “bliek Six,” had organized to capture the fovvn. The Kepubiicans decided to unite tn the movement, but took the precaution to go to the convention in mass. A third combination was also discovered when the voting began. In several nominations the three ft^tToni found they had all been working zealously for ths same men. C. M. Cross was made chairman and W. T. MeVey secretary. The feeling was so eager for the fray aud the early attendance so large, that business began a quarter of an hour before the appointed time. It was decided to nominate trustees by districts. One trustee, B. M. Blount, in the First ^strict, held over. Tlie other four were to ne chosen. The Second district re-nomi-nated J. T. Layman by acclamation. In the Third district four candidates w ere voted for; W. W. Knapp, Dr. J. F. Barnhill, O. O. Carvin and C. A. Sbotwell. Mr. Knapp was nominated. In the Fourth district the vote for J. W. Eistun and George W. Brown was a lie. The district reported this fact to the convention and the convention nominated Elston. The Fifth district nominated William Pollard, a school teacher. There were four candidates for clerk: W. T. MeVev, C. B. Clark, J. 11. Fry and George P. Brown. On the second ballot MeVey was nominated, receiving 93 rotes to Clark’s 62. For treasurer R. E. Moore, the incumbent, was defeated by J. C. Barnhill. The vote uas 86 to 48. For marshal, on the second ballot the incumbeut, Samuel Smith, was nominated by a vote of 58 to 57. On the first ballot Theodore Huber and J. H. Roll received 32 audits votes respectively. Epon hearing the report of the count for clerk, Sylvester JoIiuhou announced that the total vote was largey than the number of persons present. A call tor a count of those preaent demonstrated that there were twenty f^wer persons than votes. A few persons had gone out, bet there remained a discrepancy. Hanghville Nominntions. Haughville Democrats nominated candidates for the local offices yesterday. The Australian system was used, and the polls were open from 10 o’clock a. m. until 8 p. m. John Dugan, unopposed for clerk, received 216 votes; T. B. Forrest, unopposed for treasurer, 198 votes; Jacob KusseLl, unopposed for trustee. First district, 207 votes. For trustee of the Third district William Greiner received 187 votes and Edward Moore 174 votes; for marshal J. W. HuddlesoD, 159; Lawrence Howard, 152, and James Tharp, 72 votes. The result seemed u surprise to the Democrats and Republicans both, aa it had been confidently counted upon that Moore would be renominated and that the luarsbalsbip would go to Howard. The German vote is said to be responsible for the unexpected outfiome.' Nome of Haugfaville’a citizens met a Mathias Hail. in Belmont avenue, Thursday night and nominated a “People’s Ticket,” as follows: Trustee, First district, Alexander B. Land: trustee Second district, John M. Bteel Buiith; marifbal, MAhlon Wells: clerk, Wm. S. Peck; treasurer, 13dgar 11. Beck. “PeopleV’ is said to *be synonymous with “Populist.**. A Reroaeillativn Reported. . Ib January Domenite Adonnelle, an Italian, left the ciljr and his wife, Marie, and their child and went to California. The case came to public attention and Adonnelle’t disappearance was not accounted for. It now Rppeprs that letters between husband and wife were iuteffccpted. To-day, however, she rceflved money from him and left wuh her baby to Join htoi in the West,

(Special to The indJaaapolhi News ] Washington, Annl 7.—The Republican congressional contention for the Second Indiana district' will be hejd at Mitchell, April 17. It is conceded that' Col. A. 41. Hardy, of this city, has the inside track and will be nominated. He is a lawyer, a firstclass stump speaker, and be thinks that Mb can overcome the 1,900 Democratic plurality, especially should Mr. Brets be renominated by the Democrats. The contest among the Democratic candidates tor the congressional nomination is growing warm, unpleasantlv so in Knox county, where the fight ia becoming personal. In Knox county the opposition to Mr. Bretz, the incumbent, has crystalized about Judge C. V. Tharp, mayor of tins city. The primary election will be heid April 10. The names of Bretz and Tharp will be placed upon the ticket, and the one who receives the most votes will be given the solid congressional delegation of the county in the convention. Editor Purcell, of the Vincennes Sun, who is also po.stmaster, feels under obligations to “the spectacled sphinx,” and is supporting Mr. Bretz. The opposition to him, however, is very powerful. In the congressional convention the counties will be entitled to represcutatioos os follows. Daviess 17 Knox 22 Dubois 19 Greene 17 Martin 9 Lawrence- 14 Urange 11 Crawford 10 Total votes 119 I’nder the majoriiy rule 60 votes will be necessary to a cnoice; under a two-thirds rule it will require 80. Up to nate Mr. Bretz has received instructions for solid delegations from Daboi8*(his own county), Martin and Crawford; also half of Orange county, which will give him 4334 votes,* Ho may probably secure seven Votes from Lawrence, which would make his total oO)^Judge Tharp will doubtless secure the Knox and Daviess delegations. 39 votes, and a lew from Lawrence. Cy E. Davis, “the tall poplar of Eel river,” will of course have his home county (Greene), also half of Orange, giving him 22)4 votes in the convention. It will thus be seen that Mr. Bretz has no sure thing.

MIAMI COUNTY POLITICO Tbe Leading Parties Unusually Aggressive and Confident of Buccets. (Rpecial to Tbe IndianaDolis News.] pEKl', April 7.—There never was a time in the history of this city and county when such an active interest was taken in politics, and never a time when the Reifi\J)licans were so aggressive and pushing as at present. It has long been a recognized fact that 4fiami was one of tbe strongholds of the Democratic party, and wnatever the cause. Republicans showed a lukewarm interest in political affairs. Whatever the cause now, times have changed, aud that party is pushing itself to the Iront with a vim, and vigor that is astonishing to the oldest inhabitant. There are candidates galore for the various county and city offices, dozens almost where there was one beflore. A presidential cabipuign never showed the activity that is now being exhibited on both sides ol the line, and the fight to the end gives promise of being one of the most bitter’on record. That the Democracy is not asleep_i8 amply evidencedjby the vigor put forth, nightly speeches, bands, drum corps and other caiunaign evidences of a noisy nature. Partly, this is explained by the fact that the younger element of both parties are conducting their respective campaigns, old fogies are relegated to tbe rear, and a spirit of new aggressiveness, foreign to all, is shown. Republicans are hotaful from dissatisfaction existing, and the Democracy is confident because of tbe great majority. What is true of the city is equally true of tbe county. All the small towns and villages report renewed activity among all sides, and an interest seldom manifested so long before the election. PASTING CONTEST ENDED. Joa Rnisety, of Bourboiv; Declarafi the Winner of »it,OO0. [Special to Tbe Indianapolis News.)

Knisely was quite fresh, aud he claims that he could have held out two days longer. Both contestants were under guard since last Sunday morning, receiving neither sleep nor food. Knisely’s loss in weight is twenty-three pounds. Fields lost thirty pounds. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. An Alleged Deserter Trips To Butt Out His Brnins. (Bpeclal to The Indianapnlia News.! Mcncie,April 7.—John W. Higgins, who surrendered to Sherilf Sherry yesterday as a desectai* from Company D. Third United States Artillery, Baltimore, Md., to-day tried to butt his brains out against the stone wall in the county jail.

Superintendent Powell hu reported to Mayor Denny the naoMW of some saloon* keepera-who have assumed a denant attitude towards the police authoritiea m reference to the enforcement of tbe Sunday closing law. The Mayor hu instructed tbe superintendeot to keep a watch oa these places, and declares that if they much longer persist in their eonne, he will re-

voke their licenses.

In speaking ef the matter, the Mayor said: “I suppou every saloon-keeper in the city would finally deeide to obey the Sunday law, after uccrtaming that tbe police anthoritiet were in earnest in tbeir edoru to stop illegal Mlea The superintendent informs me that a larve maJonty of the raloon-keepert of the city have accepted the situation in good faith and have quit selling on Sunday and after honrs. I believe, also, that many othefe who do more or less busineu in violation of law would gladly quit entirely if they could know that the few uloou-keepers who have always arrayed themselves ■gsitst the authorities were compelled to quit. We are determinepl that these leaders in law-breaking shall not succeed in their orfanized efforts to tire ont the police autborliies. I do not want to be compelled to exerflise the arbitrary authority given me by th* charter to snspend or revoke the licenses of niese men, but if it seems to be the only altornative, I shall do it. I will wait another Sunday- or two in order to get specific information from tho superintendent before acting.” MERCHANT POLICE FORCE. Powers Conferred Hy the Board of PnbIto Safety—Fofty-seven Men.

To Qaarnntlna Tramps. The Board of Health sent the following letter to the superintendent of police: “The Board of Health and Charities has received notice from the State Board of Health that tbe city of Chicago is Bending out from their midst a large number of vagrants, usually called tramps. These persons, many of them, come from suspected districts, where among cheap boarding bouses, imalipox mav at auy Dme be liable to break out. “Tbe State Board of Health orders that all Bucl} persona found coming into onr city be inspected, and when manifestly ill, that they be quarantined until the nature of their sickness be asceruined, and that such persons be properly vaccinated whenever the same shall not have already been done. We hereby authorize you to direct your officers to detain all suen persons wherever found, and to see that they are .properly vaccinated.” * THE PAINTERS* STRIKE.

They Object To the Amoiinta Paid By the Boaoea.

The nnion painters of Indianapolis struck to-day. The first men to walk out were those employed by Fertig & Kevers— thirty in number. The men were scattered in different parts of the city, but th^ committees, upon notification, found them all before noon, and took them away from the work. Last summer the amployevs paid 30 cents an hour for *'good, bad and indifferent” men as they express it In the fail when timet were hard and work was scarce the price was reduced to 2.^ cents. Three weeks ago the employers met and decideil that they would pay 25 cents and 273^ cents an hour this spring to common painters, aud thirty cents an hour to grainers aud fresco paintera Lost Tuesdpy night tbe Painters’ I'nion sent a conimunication to the bosses demanding the scale of last summer—30 cents an hour. Tbe communication was ignored by the employers, aud alter having waned -until to-day for an answer tbe men decided to quit work. There are about two hundred union painters in the city, only a few of whom have bad much work since last fall. At the present time not more than 25 per cent, of them have employment. Emil Fertig, of the firm of Fertig A Keven, said to-day: “The chief complaint seems to be over the action of the bosses in grading the men. We believe we have the right to do this. A man ought to receive pay for what he does. We shall not be able to make any money at the scale we have agreed to pay. There is only a limited amount of Work, and on account of the general financial depression we are compelled to take contracts far below what we got last spring. We took one contract only last week for S200 less than we should have received for tne same }ob one year ago. We have been enxious to give the men as much work as poesible, and with that end in view have been taking work much lower than wo should under ordinary cirenmstances.” This afternoon there were a few union paiutere at work in North Indianapolis, but a committee went out there to notify them that there is a strike, SicUh Placed In Jell. The bondsnitn of August C. S-uith, treasurer of tbe Concordia Building Association, surrendered him to tbe therift yesterday and he was placed in jail. Smith is accused of embezzling several thousand dollars aad was airested on a grand jury indictment some time ago. DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Blrtli Retnrns. Thomas end Dors Cohn, 3n B.
