WHERE GAUGHAN WAS KING

HIS FIUHT FOR 1I1GG1.V1 IN THE BLOODY FIFTEENTH.

Single Handed He Faced the ruah and ia Nuw Crowned Whole Thlug —Hesnll of Saturday's Primaries.

Thirteen candUates for the City Council were named by the Democrats of thirteen ward# Saturday. Two wards held no primaries. As a result of the primaries the following candidates were chosen. First Ward—Willlas F. Smith. Second Ward—Charles A. Garrard. Third Ward- Xo nomination. Fourth Ward—No nomination. Fifth Ward—Michoel Horan. Sixth Ward-Dr. D. Moftett. S* venth Ward-John M Martin. Eighth Ward—Samuel V. Perrott Ninth Ward—James Reilly. Tenth Ward—James D. Moriarity. Eleventh Ward -Michael C. Kelly. Twelfth Ward—James W. MeJrew. Thirteenth Ward—E. A. Bernauer. Fourteenth Ward-Wliliair. W. Knight. Fifteenth Wurd-John M. Higgins. The contests in several wards were unusually violent, and In the Ninth. Eleventh and Fifteenth there were frequent demanda for the police. In the Fifteenth there was violence most of the time the polls were open, theugh no arrests were made. The presence of a dozen police several times prevented clashes between fac-

tions.

In tne Fifteenth ward, however, the conspicuous feature of the primary was Henry Gaughan. Before the polls had been open an hour the word spread aboul the city that Councilman Higgins had a challenger who was variously described as “a peach,” "a beaut" and “the whole thing." He Is a man of medium physique, but with mam-

ir.oth nerve.

Gaughan the King Pin.

The ordinary person knows little about a Fifteenth ward primary. The impression is that It is an Irish ward and that a Kilkenny time Is sure to follow the opening of the polls. The Fifteenth, however. conulhs a majority of Germans, and there is only one Irish precinct in it. However, the Irish in It are “in It.” Gaughan Is the king-pin since Saturday. As challenger for Councilman Higgins ne faced the whole antl-Higgtns “push"— Mike O'Brien. John Helmbo, Con Shine, Pat Cangany and others—single-handed There were a thousand people about the voting place in West Morris street, and half that number remained to watch Gaughan. Dressed in & natty suit, with a boiled shirt and fancy tie, he stood at the top of the steps leading to the window. where the ballots were received He knew everybody and recalled the bar sign which read: “We can t truat you because we don't know you; also because we do.” Gaughan faced every one who

voted.

“Where did you say you lived?'' he would ask. "West Ray street,’’ would be the answer perhaps. "You don't live in the ward at all," Gaughan would say. “Get out.” He made his meaning clear usually bv assisting tlie "ringer" with a shove. "Quit pulling my coat," he said to one man. The man did not quit. "If you don' quit I'll bust your noso," said Gaughan. As the man did not quit, Gaughan kept his word. "Who Is that dub?" asked a fighter from the Eleventh ward. "That's Henry Gaughan," was the an-

swer.

“I don't want to mix with him.” said the fighter. "He'd lick a ring-full of me." So Gaughan stood from 11 o’clock in the morning, single-handed, and it is estimated that he threw three hundred men away from the voting-place. Some men he threw away more than once. Mike O’Brien might answer questions about that. At any rate he watched the Higgins interests so closely that Higgins's victory is credited to him. Barrett's Good Shovrin*. There was another feature in the Fifteenth ward. This was the strength shown by Higgins's competitor, John F. Barrett Barrett Is a young boilermaker. He .announced his candidary last Monday. In five days he brought out support enough to almost overwhelm Councilman Higgins, who has been canvassing for three months. Politicians predict a future for young Barrett because of his remarkable organizing power. Former Councilman Ohleyer brought a great German support to him. Aonther feature of the primaries was the downfall of Frank Clark in the Ninth ward, and George R. Colter in the Tenth. Clark's defeat was not a surprise to others. but he never believed he would be defeated. However, of the three candidates. Janies Reilly received a majority of over a hundred over both. Clark made a poor showing. ^ ^ In the Tenth. •‘Jim" Keach made the Moriarity organisation, and he himself was challenger. Through rain and shine, he staid In his shirt sleeves and challenged "ringers." Late in the afternoon it became evident that nothing could "blulT' Keach. and the Colter men admitted defeat. Colter, however, t-ald he was not defeated by residents of the ward. Colter is now serving his fifth term from this ward. His friends predict his nomination for

vrith the battery. There is no hope of Ms election, as the ward is 1.W0 Repub-

lican.

Mlrh&el Horan, of the Fifth, is a reairstate dealer, with office in the Stevenson building. He received 350 votea, Eugene Lentz. 306 and R. M Merrick, present <-ounciiman t 193- Mr. Horan is forty-nine years old. and has a family. He Is a large property-owner in the Fifth ward, having probably a dozen houses.

Dr. E. D. Moffett, nominated by accla-

mation In the Sixth, is present councilman from the ward. He was elected over John Purvrar, colored by eighty-six pHirnlity. though the ward was over I.IW0 Republican. It ic not believed he can bo elected again, but he will make the effort. Dr. Moffett was formerly superintendent of 1 he City Dispensary. His office is In

CITY FULL OF BLACK BUGS

A CLOl’D OF THEM SWOOPED DOWN AND TOOK POSSESSION.

Swarms of Them t'ndrr the Electric Light a Trodden tnder FootStreet Lights Near Hotels Turned Out.

A cloud of full-grown black beetles swooped down on the city lust nljjht. They took possession of the stredls down-town, and were thick about the electric lights in the residence districts. They flew into the faces of people with their wings humming like small buzz-saws. Persons who had heard of. but had never seen, kissing bugs thought a swarm of them had come to town, and they retreated before the charges of the beetles. The beetles flew against walls and windows and fell on the sidewalks by thousands from exhaustion. They were trampled under foot at about every step, and this morning the walks were thick with crushed black shells. Last evening the beetles became so nur merous around the street lights of th* Denison and Grand Hotels that the lights were turned out. About the Soldiers' Monument, where arc lights are numerous. there was a dense cloud, of the insects. The west side of the Monument, and the steps on the south side, were so covered with a crawling coat that the stone appeared almost as if painted black. People returning, home from church found their way impeded by beetles. Under each electric light, where the

"Ringing”—bringing a man not a voter of the ward—wa# indulged in generally, and accounts for a large part of the heavy vote cast. Seven wards cast over 800 votes each. The total vote polled in all the wards was nearly 8.000. there being votes cast in only nine wards. In the Thirteenth 1,332 votes were cast. In the Eleventh

Charges Against Administration. The •‘administration'’ was charged with lots of things. Councilman Clark declared the whole administration was working to defeat him. Jerry Collins, assistant clerk of the board of health, was Reilly’s manager and other city employes worked for Reilly. A few worked for Clark. The administration was also charged with back-1 ing Councilman Higgins, who had rubber tired carriages running about the Fifteenth ward all the afternoon. In fact the defeat of Clark, Colter, Scanlon and the fclose calls of Bernauer and Higgins are looked on as anti-administration explosions. It is known that Mayor Taggart wished the councllmanlc primaries to take place in his absence so he could be free of charges of manipulation. This did not relieve him, howevar, and the administration was charged with working for Bernauer, Higgins, Scanlon and Colter. In most wards were city employes—"administration men”—working on both sides. In the Fifteenth '•Bill" Flynn, clW sprinkling inspector, performed the remarkable act (for him) of voting at the primary and then going some distance away and taking no part In the contest. Those who saw him read excruciating misery in his face, but "Bill" proved to be a hero. "Why,” said Fiynn, “It's as strong & tiiritation as Quid Mother Eve had wld th’ apples.” There are some who say the opposition to Higgins. Colter. Clark. Bernauer and Scanlon was due to an anti-administra-tion feeling. Of the men nominated It Is certain that Kelly, Bernauer, Higgins, Reilly and Perrott will be elected, as tne wards are reliably Democratic. There was talk of running Barrett independently in the Fifteenth, but Barrett refused to consider atuh a proposition. He told Chairman Fanning that he had received fair treatment and would abide by the decision of the board without a contest Chairman Fanning's work was regarded as satisfactory to the part*/ workers. He gave all sides representation on the election boards and the natn?a of all wtvv voted, ami the ballots were preserved and delivered to him for recounting in case of a contest. No contests have been made, however. The Men Nominated. W. F. Smith, nominated in the First ward, received 360 votes and PhUip Hoffbauer 200. Smith is a carpenter, and is now serving as councilman from the ward. The ward la Republican, but Smith was elected by a good plurality two years ago. He Is a property-owner and has a family. Charles A. Garrard, nominated by acclamation In the Second, hi city street Inspector. He Is thirty-five years old, married and lives in Broadway. He was lieutenant in the Indianapolis Light ArUliery, and served in the Spanish war

S. Clark, present councilman. 227. and J. B. Downey 176. Reilly served as an alderman ten years ago, with credit. James D. Moriarity. nominee in the Tenth, is a saloon-keeper, at 302 South New Jersey street. He received 516 votes, and George* R. Colter, who has represented the ward for ten years, 431. Moriarity is married and has one child. He was born in the ward. He was once in the railroad business. He Is not educated, nor a man of large ability, but he received the support of some of the best citizens of the ward. Michael C. Kelly, nominee in the Eleventh, is a barkeeper. He is young, and has been a committeeman in the ward. He has never sought public office before. By Acclamation. James W. McGrew, nominee by acclamation in the Twelfth ward (West Indianapolis and ML Jackson), is In the flour and feed business In West Morris street. He is the present councilman from the ward. E. A. Bernauer. who received 485 votes in the Thirteenth, against 456 for J. EBerry, is at present serving his first term from the ward. Ho was formerly in tho saloon business, and is now a cigar dealer. He is married. The no-nination is regarded as equivalent to election. W. W. Knight, nominated by acclamation In the Fourteenth ward, Is a blacksmith. He is married and is a propertyowner. He is now serving his first term in the Council, and It iq taken for granted that he will be returned without much opposition. He is the only South Side councilman who has voted against all surface railroad switches, and he has been an advocate of elevated tracks. He is chairman of the committee on railroads, which has the elevated tracks ordinance under consideration. John M. Higgins ("commodcre”) is a character. He is a typical Irish politician. He has his friends and his enemies, as was shown by the narrow margin by which he was nominated. He received 666 votes, John F. Barrett 643. and Jacob Heybo 23. Higgins Is now serving his first term from the Fifteeenth ward. He has thrown much of the ordinary city repair work to this ward. He is married and has children. His nomination is equivalent to election. PROHIBITION NOMINATIONS. * Felix T. McWhlrter for Mayor—Other City Officers.

BUCHTEL PREACHES.

Former Central-Avenue Pastor Addresses His Old Congrejcatioa.

crawling swarms had fallen, ladies lifted their skirts and walked cn their heels, and many were the feminine exclamations of disgust at the ertsp. “sqush” under foot. At some places the insects were so numerous as almost to render the pavement invisible, and a carriage sounded as If it were running over a layer of peanut shells. Rotted In Bag's. A wheelman turning a corner rather shkrply at about 10 o'clock last evening smashed so many of the beetles that his wheel slipped from under him and he rolled in the mass. One young woman, wearing a white dress with a filmy overdress. gathered up exactly forty-six of the bugs in walking five blocks from church to her home. They crawled between the overdress and skirt, giving the gown a pleasing, polka-dotted appearance. Until late this morning men reaching Into side coat pockets did it in a gingerly manner, often pulling out one or two beetles. There was many a “battle royal” downtown In the early morning. The porters of business houses found the bugs, dead and alive, plentiful on the sidewalks. They were swept into the gutters and then the awnings were lowered to keep the sun out of nbow windows. Thousands of bugs had fallen In the awnings, and when the sunshades were lowered the hugs pOured out cn the walk. There was a scramble by the beetles to get through store doors, and porters and clerks went after them with brooms and feather dusters. After the hugs were driven Into the gutters, those that escaped death, crawled up the curbing and charged toward the doors again. Where they could, they hid In cracks between the stones and buildings or sought any place that would give them a retreat. Butler Can Not Classify It. Amos W. Butler, who Is a student of entomology, says it is nothing uncommon for a species of bug to come out at a certain season in large quantities. The number of such bugs depends, naturally, he r.ays, on conditions favorable to their growth. Some yea's there are great numbers of certain k'nds of insects and the next few years there may be only a few of the same kind. Thus it Is, h* says, with the June bug. which appears in hosts some seasons. Another example of this is the army worm, which comes out some seasons in quantities sufficient to do great damage to crops. Mr. Butler does not believe, he says, that the bugs fly in swarms and drop into p. ffiveff place. He believes when insects appear In numbers, a* they did in thii city last n'ght. that they have been hatched In the immediate vicinity. Mr. Butler says he has before seen the bug which appeared in such numbers last night, but he is unable to classify it. He has sent a specimen to the entomological department at Washington. “Humpty Damply” at the Park. "Humpty Dumpty" at the Park tonight will entertain about all the people the theater will hold. To-day is the opening of the season at the Park, and with such an attraction as this, there is no likelihood of empty seats this week. "Humpty Dumpty" had its trial performances In Anderson Friday and Saturday. where it was recognized ae a success. The pantomime is in three acts, with any number of transformations, scenic illusions and all that goes to make up a successful entertainment of this sort. Specialties are numerous. The Park will b? kept cool a» all times by the all of electric fans. It Is naturally a comfortable auditorium, with plenty of air In circulation. There wM be a matinee every day, as usual. No Llqnor on the Grounds. At the meeting of the State Labor Day committee at Eiwood yesterday the principal interest centered in the report of the committee on privileges and the disposition of the sale of Intoxicants on the grounds Labor Day. The privilege committee had made arrangements for the general committee to take charge o J the sale of intoxicants; part of the general committee thought the matter shou.d be turned over to the Liquor League, which had made a bid for it; while another part of the committee was opposed to the selling of any liquors on the grounds. This last idea was finally adopted by an almost unanimous vote. Reduced rates have been secured on nearly all railroads. The fare from Indianapolis will be $1 for the round trip, and the unionists will go over the Lake Erie & Western. Premature Hair Cat. (London Dally News.] A prisoner charged with felony- on Wednesday at Bow Street Police Court on his way to the police station became quite confidential with his captor and remarked: "There is one thing I am very sorry for.” "What is that?’ said hts captor, expecting to hear a confession. "I had my hair cut last night," said the prisoner, in a dejected tone. "I might have saved that threepence. It's like my luck."

The Rev. Henry A. Buchtel, former pastor of the Central-avenue Methodist church, now of East Orange. N. J., preached the morning sermon to his old congregation yesterday, taking for his theme "The Joy of Salvation.” The congregation tested the capacity of the church. Mr. Buchtel emphasized the value of being glad and joyous. “Joy is a fundamental element in the life of the Christian," he said. He said that both the Old and New Testament gave evidence of this. Christians did not have to be sad to be Christ-like. There was too many lines of sorrow In the faces in the church congregations. Too many sad faces were met every day on the streets. It was God's pleasure that we should have Joy in salvation. A Source of Joy to the Christian should be the sense of the certainty of the future. "The heart full of Joy in God.” said Mr. Buchtel. "can be kept as God wants It only In God's way.” In the afternoon Mr. Buchtel addressed the girls of the Industrial School for Girls, and in the evening he spoke before the Epworth League of the Centralavenue church. Taylor’s First Sermon. The Rev. W. C. Taylor preached his first sermon as pastor of the Collegeavenue Baptist church yesterday morning. Mr. Taylor is a young man. coming from Jefferson City. Mo., where he held a pastorate for three and one-half years. He formerly preached for the Baptist church at Frankfort. Ky. His sermon yesterday was based on a text taken from the book of Genesis, dealing with the struggle of Jacob with the angel.. He said that as Jacob did. so do we come to the streams that divide ILe's pathways. One one side are the struggles, triumphs and difficulties of the pasi, and on the other the hope of the eternity of happiness. As a church, he said, his congregation was looking over the future of its work. He urged unity of pastor and people, and spoke for an everyday Christian life, that would fit the congregation for the accomplishment of its work. An Echo Meeting 1 .
