,.' The meeting of the Association held last night at the office of Supt. Mott at the Garfield building Avas 3 ' well attended. The reports made by the committees were of the most encouraging nature. The financial affairs of the Associa tion promise to be in good condition. It is hoped that this year at least one thousand people will purchase at least one. membership ticket. The city council has voted $100 as it did last year. One report submitted last night that was of special interest was that by Prof. J. E. Bundy who is chairman of the picture committee. It was as follows: "We have secured from Clockner & Co., of New York, the famous Daingefield Madonna. And through the kindness of Mr. Wilson and his daughter, Mrs. Paul Comstock, Ave will get fro mthe New York dealer, Du-rand-Ruel, seven foreign works representing Corot, Daubigny, Diaz Renoir, Claude Monet, Alford Sisley and Cammille Pissaro.

His assets are about $8,000, while his liabilities will reach $10,000. Mr. Markle is now in charge of the store and will be until the stock is closed out. Mr. Kreusch is a splendid gentleman and his many friends will be pained to learn of his misfortune, lie carried a large stock of goods, in cluding jewelry, diamonds watches, clocks, pianos, and other musical instruments.

ALL TROUBLES NOW SETTLED

AMONG THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE INDIANAPOLIS & EASTERN RAILWAY. CO. DR. ROBERT C. LIGHT. Disposes of Stock, 250 Shares, and the Cause of the Trouble is Removed. According to word from Indianapolis the troubles existing for some time in the Indianapolis & Eastern Rail way Co., have been settled. The contention that has been existing for some time among the stock holders as mentioned exclusively in the Palladium a few days ago, ha 'finally been amicaby settled, and the suit filed yesterday to oust Frank M. Fauvre, Charles E. Coffin, L. E. McDonald, Elmer Binford and Emil C. Rassman from control of the proper ty of the company has been withdrawn and all differences, it is claimed, are now adjusted. The compromise was brought about by the disposal of the stock in the company owned by Dr. Robert C. Light, the prime mover in the prosecution of the case, to Frank M. Fauvre, president of the company and one of the defendants to the suit. By the disposition of Mr. Light's interest in the company,, represented by 250 shares, he relinquishes all fight to any control of the propertv, and it was said by one of the officials of the company last night that all disturbances in the affairs of of the company were again settled and that the case would remain out of the courts. OF CARNIVAL LAST NIGHT A FAIR SIZED CROWD WAS PRESENT BUT WERE DISAPPOINTED. SECOND NIGHT OF RAIN It Begins to Look as Though the Major Part of the Week Would be Spoiled by the Weather. The second night of the carnival was spoiled by the rain. The crowd was a trifle larger than the crowd Monday evening but otherwise everything was the same. One show and several booths were opened but as for the rest of the carnival shows j there was "nothing doing." No tick ets were sold for admission, all being let in free but none remained very long. The grass and ground was soaking wet and mud was everywhere. It is very discouraging, to say the least, to the managers of the carnival company but it can't be heped and ! the only thing to do is to grin and bear it. The people from surrounding towns who came here yesterday went back having gained nothing and being out of pocket for their car fare. It begins to look, judging from the weather today, that the "first opening night" of the carnival will be about Friday. At last it does not seem as though the grounds will be dry enough to bring a large crowd before that time. The single show that was opened last night did a good business but the people are not satisfied with one tenth of the thing. The weather is very unkind to the carnival company, Redmen, and Richmond people generally. FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. (By Associated Press.) Rome, May IS. A telegram received here today from Tokio says that two Japanese divisions have arrived near Mukden with the object of cutting General Kuropatkin's line of retreat northward.
