Colonel Rogers, of Philadelphia, would like to secure Hugh Jennings to manage the Quakers, this season, but he objects to the price.

INDIANAPOLIS SHOOTERS.

They Did Well the Tint Day of the Biff Tournament. The eighth annual shooting tournament of the Interstate Shooting Association, of Nsw York, began yesterday. The two events on the program were well filled, and occupied the entire day; In the first, the Interstate introductory, eight birds, entrance 86, twenty-four men killed straight and divided first money. E. H. Tripp, of Indianapolis;. E. E. Neal, of Bloomfield, and J. L. Head, of Peru, were the Indiana shots, and were among the twenty-four winners. In the twelve-bird race, seventeen men killed straight, hut Emil Werk. of Cincinnati, and Rolla Heikes were the only winners well known in Indianapolis. The second day’s shoot began with the nitro-powder handicap, sixteen birds, 810 entrance, 160 entries. The handicaps to-day were the same as they will be in the Grand American handicap, which begins to-morrow. E. E. Neal and E. H. Tripp were the two first men to face the traps to-day. In the first round Neal killed his first three, but lost his fourth blrfi. Tripp's first bird fell dead out of bounds and his second got away. Hs killed the last two. There are UO entries in the Grand American handicap. hut this number will be Increased before the men face the traps to-morrow.

HEW YORK TO CHICAGO.

Bide Path. Connecting the Two Cities How Being Built. NEW YORK. April S.-The L. A. W. divisions In charge of the construction of trunk side paths between New York and Chicago are working with all possible ■peed on the plans. The path from New York will run through Poughkeepsie. Albany, Amsterdam, Utica. Syracuse, Rochester. Batavia, Buffalo, Erie, Ashtabula, Cleveland, Elyria, Toledo, Butler, Goshen. Elkhart and South Bend to Chicago. This Is practically the old transcontinental stage coach mall’route, and Is ths one generally followed by the Chi-cago-New York record breakers. The Nsw York division Is taking ths lead in the project and expects to have Its path finished within a short time. It will have supervision of 690 miles of the path, or more than half, as the total length will be M8 mllea ' SULLIVAN DEFEATS GARDNER.

Won After Being Knocked Out.

Almost

Dave Sullivan secured a victory over Eddie Gardner, last night, before the Hercules Athletic Club, of Brooklyn, after nineteen rounds of lively fighting, tip to ths sixteenth round, Gardner looked a winner, and in that round he had SpUivan weak,, groggy and almost knocked out, the gong alone saving him. Sullivan recovered, and In the next three rounds went at Gardner so viciously that in the nineteenth round Oscar Gardner, who wee behind Eddie, threw up the sponge to save a knock-out The two men will probably be matched again. Tke doming of Barnes. Barnes, signed by Indianapolis, will be a valuable acquisition. He la not only one of the iM^t pitchers In the league, but as an all-round utility man he has no superior in minor league company. He !s a graduate of the University of Nebraska. and began pitching In his college team in 1IM. He pitched for the Lincoln Western Association club in 18H and was looked upon as the crack boxman In that organisation. In UK he joined the Milwaukee dub. together with ••Kid” Speer, and remained with the Brewers until the

present time. Barnes not only has plenty of speed and excellent control, but he is a cloee student of batsmen and knows the peculiarities of every old hitter In the American League. He was seriously handicapped in Milwaukee by being forced to play a number of positions, in addition to pitching emergency games. Manager Mack also held him in reserve to use in losing games, and this also interfered with his effectiveness. Every pitcher has some club against which he has "his troubles,” and during the last three years Barnes would rather face any team in the league than Indianapolif. This waa due to the fact that the players on the 1887 team found his delivery much to their liking in the first series of garnet, and once having confidence when facing him, the Hooslers fattened their batting averages at his expense. Against every other club In the league Barnes was effective. He is a strict disciplinarian and takes excellent care of himself.

With the Fighters.

Governor Roosevelt, yesterday, affixed his signature to the Lewis bill, repealing the Horton boxing law. and after September 1, fighters In New York will be as scare as snowballs in summer.

An American fighter, styling himself Tom Broderick, lost a fight on a foul before the National Sporting Club of London, last night, to Walter Evles. Broderick fought at Mt Vernon, N. Y., last Friday night, and the American in London Is evidently a counterfeit. Phil McGovern, a brother to the famous featherweight, is now an exercise boy in P. J. Dwyer's stable. He will soon be far enough advanced to get in the saddle, and will receive a license this season. Phil weighs fifty-six pounds, and Is said to have bright prospects. In the next four monthe New Yorkers will have a chance to see the following big contests. Jeffries vs. Corbett, McCoy vs. Sharkey, Ruhlin vs. Sharkey, Ruhlin vs. FitssimmonH, and probably Sharkey vs. Fitxslmmons. W. A. Brady has promised two more big matches for Jeffries before the Horton law flickers

out.

“Parson” Davies, who has New Orleans well rounded up, expects to organise a big athletic club in that city, and will endeavor to make It the Mecca for the fighters, next winter. While the game waa running wide open In New York, Davies did not attempt anything big in the South, but he la now orepared to go to the front. Louis Houseman, who has the management of Tattersalls Club, In Chicago, may be associated with Davies in bis new venture. Corbett's Methods Condemned. James J. Corbett, whose Indifferent training at Lakewood. N. J., has again set tongues wagging, has attempted to divert the public eye from himself to Jeffries by raising a mighty "kick” against the champion meeting three men in the same ring in one evening. Corbett contends that any of the three— Goddard, McCormick or Lawler-mlght land a chance blow and knock Jeffries out, and this would ruin him for his match with the ex-champion. Little stock Is taken In Corbett's talk, and even his friends, who see him In New York enjoying himself, are trying to get him down to hard work, or to at least make a pretense of getting Into condition by remaining at Lakewood. His contest with Jeffries Is only five weeks off.

Eastern Racing Season Begun The Eastern racing season began yesterday at Bennlnga The favorable conditions and a strong card attracted a big crowd, which, however, was sorely disappointed In the result of the annual spring handicap. Imp, last season's queen of the turf, was almost wiped off the boards. The great mare showed no disposition to win, and finished a poor third to Boney Boy and Charentus. The other Mg race on the card was the maiden steeple-chase, over the two-mlle course. It was won by Cosmopolitan, tho favorite, with Emory second. Lovelorn fell and was badly out In going ovef the barrier on the back-stretch, and Tampo declined the last jump, throwing Corcoran.

STATE DEMOCRATIC TALK

TAGGART AND THE NATIONAL GHAXE1CAHBHXP.

Talk of Shively for Vice-Preaident and Its Effect on tho Indiana Situation. A member of the State organisation of Democrats says that if Mayor Taggart Is not a candidate for national chairman, Indiana Democrats will stand for John R. McLean, of Cincinnati, for the place. He denied that anything was beying done by the leaders to secure the position for Taggart, as it was not understood that he wanted it. It is known, however, that many of the Influential men In the party in Indiana are for Mayor Taggart for national chairman, and have been quietly working for him for some time. Taggart declared recently that he was not a candidate for any office, but he told a friend in the last week that he would consider a proposition to become national chairman If the position were offered to him. He is not making a fight for It Since Samuel M. Ralston, of Lebanon. Is not being considered for Governor, his friends are beginning to talk of him again for national committeeman to succeed John G. Shanklin, of Evansville. It is said that he will have the support of several members of the State committee. Ralston has declared that he will not be a candidate for Governor because of his personal friendship for B. F. Shively, of Scuth Bend, but that If Shively were out of It, he would like to make the race. Shively now has practically a clear field, for Allan Zollars says that he will not be a candidate.

HANCOCK COUNTY'S FLIGHT.

Fears that Marion County Slate Makers will Leave It Out. There Is a growing suspicion among Hancock county Republicans that they are to be left In the cold In the selection of their Joint Representative with Marion county. Morgan Caraway, of Greenfield, represented the two counties In the last session, and the Hancock county men have been made to understand until recently that he could have the nomination again if he wanted it. Now It Is said that the crowd of Marion Club politicians who succeeded in getting their slate through will not be satisfied unless they are privileged to name the candidate for Joint Representative. No one has been mentioned yet, but It is understood that they have a man for the place Who will be sprung shortly. Caraway’s friends have been urging that the convention be held at once, or as soon as possible, but It is declared that 'they have been rebuffed by the slate-makers who say that they have had enough conventions for the present and would prefer to wait until later, as there Is no particular hurry about' making a nomination for Joint Representative. Some of Mr. Caraway's friends assert that the machine men are alarmed at the protests that have been made againftt their methods, and they fear that to try to push another man through now would damage the party chances, but If they wait they can nominate whomever tbey desire without anything being said. If the candidate for joint Representative Is from Marlon county, Hancock county will have no place In the next Legislature, as the joint Senator who Is' a hold-over lives in Rush county. It Is known that within the last few days the State organisation has been asked to Interfere on behalf of Hancock county, and it is said that the slatemakers solemnly promised to give the nomination to Caraway, or some other Hancock county man. but their refusal to name a time or place for the convention has led to more talk that they will try to capture the nomination and get complete control If possible. It Is understood that the State organisation has Insisted that Marlon Club methods are harming the party, but it is not known what Influence the protests will have. JAKES B. WEAVER'S VIEW’S.

The Former Populist Candidate Expects Bryan's Election. James B. Weaver, of Iowa, Populist candidate for President in 1M2, met a number of fusion Populist leaders at the Hotel English, last evening, and talked over the national convention, which will be held at Sioux City, la., May 9. Discussing the political situation, he expressed an opinion that Bryan would be the next President. He said that he had visited a number of States, recently, and had found that the sentiment was growing in favor of the Nebraska man, and that the people were more bitterly opposed to Hanna and his methods. He declared that ths people were tired of trusts, and that ths Chicago platform would be reaffirmed, with anti-trust and antl-lmperlallstlc planks added. He said that the money issue would not be In the foreground, but that It would not be ignored by any means. The differences between the Populists and the Democrats in the South, he asserted, had been wiped out Bryan, he said, would be nominated for President at the Sioux City convention. Indiana delegates to the convention will be selected about May 1. Mr. Weaver said he did not expect the Mid-dle-of-the-road Populists to figure much

In the campaign.

Shively for Vice-President. Shively Is still being talked of to different parts of the country as a vicepresidential possibility. Since Congressman Bailey, of Texas, mentioned him to a recent interview, a little boom has been started. A representative of the national committee, who was here a short time ago, said that Shively was as much talked of for second place on the national ticket aa any other man. The Washington Star has taken up Shively and speaks of him as an ideal candidate. Among other things, the Star says: “Mr. Shively is a recognised leader of his party at home. He was defeated for Governor to UM, but that was a bad year for Democrats in all of the middle States. All things conaldered, therefore, the ticket of Bryan and Shively i& a suggestion for which Mr. Bailey need make no apology. The party might go further and do a great deal worse. It will be certain to do worse if it takes any one of the half dosen Eastern men whone names, for one poor reason or another, are on the tongue of gossip whenever the vice-presidency is mentioned.” If Shively should become a candidate for Vice-President, it is probable. Democrats say, that Ralston will be the nomi-

nee for Governor.

Prohibition State Convention. The Prohibition state executive committee at Its meeting at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon completed arrangements for the state convention, which will be held at Plymouth church May 1 and X. There will be 860 delegates, but It is expected that attendance will be over a thousand. All of the districts except the Fourth, Fifth and Thirteenth, have already selected delegates. The committee has arranged for musical features to make the convention more attractive. The committee to other campaigns has been embarrassed by having candidates

withdraw after the race was started, but this time there is to be an understanding that no one will be nominated unless he promises to go through the contest. The leaders ars preparing for an aggressive campaign. I. 8. Wade was appointed to organise clubs and societies In all of the

cities and towns to the State.

Congratulatory Resolutions. Council No. 417, of the Knights of Coi Imui i&dopt&il resolutions oongr&t* ’ the Very Rev. Denis O'Dcte^

by ths Pops to

the dignity of bishop. The hope is expressed by the resolutions that “strength and grace may be vouchsafed to Mm to fill the duties of this high office in tho hierarchy of the Catholic church, for which his great talents and many virtues so eminently qualify him.” The members of tile council voted to attend the consecration services in a body. MARTIN’S SUGGESTION.

Reading of tits Declaration of Zndopsndence la Urged. Parks M. Martin, chairman of the Democratic State committee, to a letter to Governor Mount, suggests that the Governor add to his recent proclamation to the people of the State In regard to the collection and preservation of historical matters In Indiana, a recommendation that the Declaration of Independence be read on the Fourth of July next—the one hundredth anniversary of the establishment of the territorial form of government of Indiana. , Mr. Martin says hs read tbs proclamation with surprise, as well as with Interest. He la to sympathy with the movement to collect Indiana history, and he thinks It fitting that the coming Fourth of July be observed with patriotic exercises. He think* however, that the observance of the day, without the reading of the Declaration of Independence, would be a "public misfortune/’ Gov. Mount's Intention. Governor Mount said to-day that he would not make any addition to hla proclamation. It was not necessary to do so. he said. “The Declaration of Independence may be read at the meetings It so desired,” said he. *T only suggested that the historical feature of the program be observed. I had no intention of limiting the observances to historical matters. “I have seen a suggestion somewhere ascribing to the proclamation an intention of lending a political phase to the historical movement in favor of the Republican party. Nothing was farther from my mind than such a thing. The proclamation was issued at the request of a meeting of representative citizens. There was no intention of getting away from the flag, or the Declaration of Independence, or anything else of a patriotic nature.” ' MISSIONARY SOCIETIES.

Women's Societies of Indianapolis Presbytery Meeting. The twenty-fifth annual meeting of ths Women's Missionary Societies of tbs Indianapolis Presbytery, Mrs. A. B. Mitchell president, began, at 10 a. m., to-day, with eighty delegates present, to ths First Presbyterian church. The opening exercises were led by Mrs. M. A. Nobis, of Greenwood.

JUDGE LEATHERS HOLDS THAT IT IS CONTRARY TO LAW.

Twentieth Century Plumbing Co. is the Plaintiff in the CateCharges Had*. In a decision to-day to ths care of ths Twentieth Century Plumbing Company against Knight * JUson, Comstock * Coonse, and the McElwalne-Rlohards company, Judge Leathers, of ths Superior Court, held that the plumbers' combination in this city Is contrary to law. The act of the Legislature of UM, which makes it unlawful to form certain combinations, Is held to be constitutional. It was alleged to the ootnplaint of the Century Company that it was discriminated against because It did not belong to th* Master Plumbers’ Association; that it hod contracts to fill, and that on account of the combination of master plumbers, It could not purchase supplies in Indianapolis, and was compelled to go outslds. wbere It paid a higher price than was prevailing here. It Is alleged by plumbers who are not members of the association that there has been an effort to prevent them from doing business. Ths ruling of the court was on the demurrer to the complaint, which he overruled.

When wages were fixed for the men for the Central Pennsylvania field the Irwin miners were again left out. As a result, they demanded an Increase of IS cents per ton on April 1 The operators agreed to U cents. The difference of 6 cents per ton caused the trouble, which, I hope, we can soon settle. We have national officers on the ground. I will have to wait for definite information about th* reported strike of th* Pittsburg miners before I caa make a statement. Reports credit th* men with being opposed to the deed work •cals mad* to Indianapolis. Z do not think th* reports are true.” Arrest of Flower Thieves. The flower thieves have begun early.
