Wfeat Mayor Taggart and Chairman Gerard Says — Talk About the Colored Vote for Taggart— Repablleaa Meeting*.

Politicians are Interested now la the result of the thirty-day poll, which ha* been taken, but which has not bean returned to the committee* complete. Today Mayor Taggart. City Clerk Stuckmyer and Police Judge Cox were at Democratic headquarters receiving the reports of ward committeemen. None was admitted to the rooms where the trio sat except the committeemen. The maypr and Chairman Spencer, of the Democratic committee, kept the pollbcoks. Mayor Taggart said the results were beyond expectation. Nearly half the committeemen reported, and the mayor said the reports all showed enlarged certainty of the Democratic victory next month. Chairman Gerard said the Republican committeemen were not reporting anything as yet, and It would be several days before the complete returns would be in. A committeeman who is In a precinct which Is almost wholly colored says the result of his canvass there was surprising. He says he knew Taggart was popular With the colored voters, but he say* Lis strength this time Is amazing to one who has known politics for any length of time.

Mayor Taggart. President Downing of the Board of Public Works, City Engineer Jeup and Street Foreman Herpick drove along Pogue’s run to Brightwood yesterday, and then back to the South Side along Pleasant run. They were investigating the streams to know best what improvements to make. One of the principal Improvements decided-on-was the cleaning and deepening of the State ditch gad the widening of its Inlet to the Fourteenth-street sewer. This Improvement, It Is believed, will prevent floods In the Jackson Park district in the

future.

While examining Pleasant run the party passed the German Protestant Orphans' Home. The annual picnic of the home was In progress, and all entered. Mr. Taggart was carried by some enthusiastic friehds to the band-stand, and remained until the band serenaded him. The demonstration was enthusiastic. Nearly five thousand people were on the

grounds* ■" rr ' ■ "s

As a result of the trip the Board of Public Works announced this .nornlng that bids will be received September 29 for the construction of the following bridges: McCauley street, across Pogue s run: Stoughton street, across Pogue's run: Barth avenue, across Pleasant run; New leney street, across Pogue’s run; Oriental street, across Pogue’s run.

POLITICS IN THE SYNAGOGUE. Beer and Difference* Among Partisans la American Israelite Club. Something unusual happened in Biddy street last evening. At the northeast corner- of that street and Merrill street stands what Is known as the Russian synagogue. The religious meeUngs are held there on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, but last evening It was lighted up and sounds of revelry floated from within through the open windows into the street A crowd gafhereR about the place and the clink of glasses was to many of the crowd exasperatingly distinct. The meeting of an AmericanIsraelite club was In progress, a new member had been taken In and beer was drunk in celebration of the event. Soon there was a greater tumult inside, and when the door- opened to throw out a disturber a News reporter went In. In the angry and excited talk that followed he was not observed. The club, as It appeared from the talk, is composed of about equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats. The Republicans said, and the Democrats did not deny, that the beer—two kegs—had been brought there by a member named Mantel, who keeps a barrel-house in West Washington street. Mantel wanted It understood that the beer was a present from Thomas Taggart, and that he had also made a big contribution In money to put the new club on Its feet ft was further understood that Mr. Taggart was to attend the club meeting and make a little speech to the club. Beer and Money Acceptable. The Republicans declared that, while they would permit the acceptance of the beer and of the money, they would not iPsrmit Mayor Taggart to speak, as they were determined that the club should dot be -captured by any political party. Charles Stuckmeyer, Democratic candidate for city clerk, appeared about half past 7. and said that Mr. Taggart could not be present, but that if they desired, there was a speaker near at hand who wodld represent him. The Republican members greeted this proposition with a howl, and Mr. Stuckmeyer left. A number of the members followed him to Illinois and Merrill streets, where they said they found a carriage in waiting, in which -there were two men, one of whom was Mayor Taggart. The Republican members say that they had Intended to make matters interesting for the mayor had he appeared, but that he had been frightened away by the indiscretion of some of their party, who talked too much and whose threats had evidently come to the ears of the mayor The young man who was thrown out of the church was an Irishman named Patrick Kelly, who waa Intoxicated and had forced his way into the church to get the free beer. Notwlthstandidfe the tumult which made every one for square* around think a riot was going on, no attention, was paid tb it by the two policemen who were at the time sauntering along South Illinois street, only one square away from the scene of the disturbance. What the Mayor Says. "On Saturday,” said Mayor Taggart. "Mr. Mantel invited me to a meeting to be held on Sunday night, at Eddy and Merrill streets, in th* Jewish synagogue. He said there would be other candidates there and persons friendly to me, who would like to see me. He wound up by saying they would have a Jewish rabbi there, who is friendly to me. He said tny presence would be needed for only a few minutes, and added that after I left there would probably be aome refreshment for the boys. I said that I would see about It. but that I did not feel that refreshments would fit well in any church. I was not there, nor near there. I was at the Grand Hotel from 6 p. m. until 9 p. m. Then I went homa I was not In any carriage near the place mentioned. I furnished no money for beer and made no contribution to the club. I was Informed this morning that some of the people who were present at the church Intended. If I appeared, to raise a row for the purpose of showing me in the unpleasant attitude of working politics and free beer in their house of worship. A number of person# telephoned to me at the Grand Hotel last night four or five times thnt they were awaiting me at the church, but. aa I said, I remained at the hotel until § p. m.. and then went directly home.’.' Mr. Stuckmeyer was not at his office to-day when 'fie was sought for an Interview. His friends say he was simply an Invited guest at the meeting, but did not remain. “Bill* Flynn’s “Otley Tom” Bnttons. "Bill” Flynn saifntered Into the courthouse basement this morning with a complacent smile on his face. "Ye* haven’t seen Rhedy about here, have yea?” he asked of one of the "byee." “I’d lolke to see~him and arrange for that debate. I Just knocked hts understud)’. Joe Foppynano, out." Mr. Flynn wore a Taggart button as large as a dollar. The likeness on tho button was the best yet made of tho mayor. Mr, Flynn's button, however, bore a new Inscription. It read: "For Mayor. Our Olley Tom.” The buttons were In demand. As Flynn had only 130 of them made, they did not last long. It has been two years since Flynn gave Taggart the name, "Hey Tom." The name stuck much as some otls might. Flynn and the mayor were not us friendly then aa they are now. but time heals all wounds, and political wounds soonest, so they are "thick" again. The Aatt-Taffirart League. The Anti-Taggart League of the Fourteenth ward met last night. The principal one# In the organisation are William Mowwe, J. C. Johnston, 8. R.

“Tell the Truth.” To the Editor of The Indianapolis New*: The statement Is frequently made, especially during a city campaign, by the opposition newspapers for political effect, that this city pays more for fire alarm signal boxes than some other cities. This statement is true, the same as one man pays one price for a suit of clothes and another pays more for a better suit This morning at 4 o'clock box 26 was struck for a very ugly-look-Ing blase, and while it waa coming In. box 316, near by, was also struck, but no confusion occurred because it has been the policy of the city under all administrations since the charter, to purchase first-class non-interfering signal boxes. A campaign orator nightly states that the city administration let a contract to the Gamewell company for a police telegraph system, and received no bond for the faithful performance of the contract. A bond for this purpose, in the sum of 820,000, Is on file In the office of the Board of Public Safety, with one of the largest guarantee companies in the East aa surety. The concern has resources to the amount of 82,402,000. B. M. D. FEW GOTO BASE-BALL.

VADE HILL'S SALOON.

Effort Making to Prevent u Re- — newul of HI* License.

The a nnu&r battle between the remonetfators and Wade Hill is now on In the Commissioners’ . Court. The remonstrators lost the preliminary skirmish this morning, but renewed the attack. They came into court with only about nine hundred signatures to the petition, and It was thrown out. Attorney Scott then filed another remonstrance under the old law,, and sought to show that Hill is not a fit and proper character to conduct a saloon. This threw the necessity for proof on Hill also, and his attorneys had nearly one hundred witnesses to prove that Hill Is a man of unblemished character: that hla saloon was not a resort for bad characters, and that the residents In the neighborhood had never been annoyed or disturbed by the place. While this was going on the commissioners had several legal problems to untangle, but managed to rule on all of the points. The attorneys for the remonstrators have a formidable array of witnesses, which they will present Just as soon as attorney Keallng has finished with hts character witnessas. Attorney Scott said that th* remonstrators were prepared to show that Hill’s saloon waa a blot on the community; that It was the resort for the most disreputable characters, both men and women, and that the neighborhood had been debased by having the saloon In It. He was prepared, also, to show that Hill himself was of bad character, end was frequently Intoxicated. At this point Mr. Scott was Interrupted by John Lowe, of the police force, who said: “This is all right, but it looks now as though It would take several days to try this case, and you have summoned over a dozen policemen, most of them 'now on night duty. 1 want to get some sleep myself, and 1 know the others do. So If you will Juat set a time when you want u*. we’ll go to bed.” It was decided that the night policemen would be excused until to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. The court-room waa crowded with witnesses and friends of both sides. o Trouble About » Curbuuele. The famillee of Mr*. Alice Laramore. white, of 7 South Liberty street, and Mrs. Emma Tone, colored, of 15, had trouble over a small son of Mrs. Laramore. who had a carbuncle on his neck. It seems that the daughter of the colored woman liked to irritate the boy's affliction and that a quarrel over this led to Mrs. Tone's throwing an ax and her daughter’s throwing several sticks of wood into the Laramore home. The ax. It was told the police, struck Mr*. Laramore’a daughter, Gertrude Garry. In the forehead. cutting a gash about three inches long. Drs. Thomas and Jaeger* of the City Dispensary, dressed the wound and aay it Is not serioas. Mrs. Laramore and Mrs. Tone were arrested, charged with assault and battery. Their cases were continued in Police Court this morntng. She was ’Worried. Nan Elliott, keeper of a colored resort, attempted to take her life yesterday by taking a large amount of laudanum. Dr. Krdman, of the City Dispensary, restored her. Worry is given as the cause for the attempt.

CHILDREN INCENDIARIES.

Arrest of Small Boys Who Like to See the Fire Department Ran.

Three small boys, almost baolea. In wide-collared waists and knee trousers, were playing together on the floor In the front room of Police Matron Buchanan’s house, near the Jail, this morning. They had been arrested on the charge of arson, but they did not know taey were under arrest, and apparently had no conception of the gravity of the charge against them. They were merely held until their parents, who had been notified, could come and get them. It appeared from their talk that they took great pleasure In seeing the Are department run to a Are, and had set barns on fire or been with other small boys who did this, in order to enjoy the excitement. They were Eugene Berry, eight years old, of 608 Union street; Charley Buck, six

years old, living In Sinker street, and Harold Kerns, five years old, living In Mulberry street. Berry and Buck had been taken from school No. 25 by detectives, who had heard the story from a number of small boys of the nelghbor■hood of their taking part In various fires, ard particularly that Berry had told them about starting a fire at the McElw aine-Richard company building, at Delaware and Merrill streets, yesterday afternoon. Six boys were brought to tSe police station to tell what they knew, and three were held. . . Eugene Berry, the oldest of the boys, but no larger than the others, said _£hat he found a match and gave It to Harold Kerns, who set fire to some wood .ind straw through a broken window In the McElwalne-Rlcharda place. Kerns denied this, and said that Berry used the match himself and that he saw It. Though the boys disputed stoutly on these points, they played togethe* In perfect amity a moment afterward, and there was no heat In their denials. Berry said that he had been with boys a number of times when they set barns on fire. He said that Charley Buck set a stable belonging to a man named 8ue*s in Stevens street, on fire a short time ago. but It did not burn much. Buck denied this, and said that Berry did It, but as In the other case there was no heat In the denials and the boys played together in perfect friendliness. Berry also said that he was with a boy named Miller. who la now in Cincinnati, when Miller set fire to a stable belonging to a man named Winchester, in Stevens street, when a horse's tall was burned. Berry and Kerns said that they went to the fire at No. 901 Capitol avenue yesterday. but that they hj«d nothing to do with It. The boys are to be brought to Police Court to-morrow, but the police hardly know what to do with offenders so small. A BRICK-MOLDING CONTEST.
