T?0TE8 AND OBSERVATIONS ON MATTERS AROUND TOWN.

"If the Telephone company complies with the new law and reduces the rent of itc instrument* to 12.50 a month where more than one is used, I shall have to take two. I can afford to pay |8 a month for them, bat I can't afford them at the present rates." Thus said a well-known business man, in -•peaking this week of the possible action of the Telephone company in view of the passage of the law making it illegal to charge more than $3 a month for the sae of this necessity. There are numbers, perhaps hundreds of men in this dty who feel about as the one above quoted, and a reduction of the rental of the telephones would bring increased earnings to the company. If that company is wise in its time and day it will comply with the new law, althoogh it is said a tmt will be made of its constitutionality. There is generally some loophole for a corporation with riches to crawl cut of a legal predicament and if the case goes to the courts the Central Telephone Company will probably win.

The District Telegraph is going to hurt the Telephone company to a certain extent, and it is said the physicians here have unanimously decided to have their telephones replaced by the new instruments, which cost but fifty cents a month. The District Telegraph is really an excellent thing, and its introduotion here is another step toward a metropolitan state of affairs. It is said the managers of the system, who have control of in several States, have become immensely wealthy off of it. The offico will be located either in the Board of Trade rooms or in the Western Union office, and the company will begin operations some time in May with ^bont twenty messenger boys. There was aome talk that some of the councilmen would oppose the'erection of more wires in the city limits, but when shown the workings of the system, and its mady advantages the objections were withdrawn.

The bid Barnard building, on. Sixth and the Vandalla, which has stood idle for many years, bafc been purchased by K. J. King, who will occupy it with bis stove foundry. That part of the city is assuming considerable importance as a location for manufacturing establishments. Within two squares on the Vandalla there will be within a short time four establishments in operation, via: a flouring mill, stove foundry, electrio light works and a scale manufactory. Of late years north Center street has been building up, and some of the most desirable elegant residences in the city have been erected there. The operation of these manufacturing establishments will have a tendency to depreciate the price of residence property In that neighborhood.

It was announced last week that the Republican primaries would be held on the 20tb^nd tho nominating convention Oti the but Thursday night it was decided to hold the primaries on the 27th and the nominating convention on the 29th, less than a week before the election. The Democrats will bold their primaries on the 25th and nominating convention •on the 27th. This ensures a brief campaign, which is a commendable thing, although it will be bad for the saloon element. A good suggestion was made this week that all the candidates on both tickets meet and deoide to totally Ignore that class of voters known as the "bummers," who live on free drinks while a campaign is on, and at the expanse pf the candidates. A movement to defeat this class of voters would be a novelty here, and It might reault In the nomination of a ticked of their own, which would be a Atill greater novelty

It Is settled that W. H. Brown will not be a candidate for the Republican nomination for Mayor. The manager of the American express company, in response to an inquiry on the part of Mr. B., Mid that he bad no objection to him (B.) cunning for the office "if it would not Interfere with their business." Mr. B. thought he saw a world of meaning in the "it" and like a sensible man ho put away the idea of run* ing for a »1,600 office, with a possibility that he might lose a position worth much more than that to him. Therefore it can be said that he la not a candidate.

Mr. Brigg* declines to run, also, and it is evident that the nomination lies between Hugo Duenweg, C. W. Brown and James P. Murphy,

although neither

of these gentlemen are making any special effort to secure it. Unless some dark horse springs up, one of these three will be the candidate. Mr. Duenweg, on acconnt of his business, will perhaps be backward about accepting the nomination, but he will make a strong candidate. He retired from the office of

candidates, and has tcafle one of the most efficient justices on Wall street. He is a member of the G. A. R., which would aid him materially in the race. It can be said for both parties that never before have so many excellent men been mentioned for the position of Mayor, and we are sure to have a good man put np In any event.

Linus A. Burnett has been added to this excellent list, the excellence of which is increased by the addition. It would be difficult to find a man with better qualifications for the office, or a more reliable, steadfast Republican. Capt. James Hook and U. R. Jeffera, it ia said, would neither take to the woods if the nomination should be "piesented to them on a sliver platter."

There will be combinations and combinations on both sides, snd until the head of the ticket is selected the other members cannot be named. If Mr. Duenweg is nominated for Mayor, it understood that Lou Baganz' chances for Clerk will be lessened. In that case there ia some talk of Will Arnold being nominated for that position. He Is competent, and would make an excellent raoe against a very strong candidate on the the other side, George Davis. If on the other hand, 'Squire Murpby ue nominated, Mr. Baganz will be the nominee beyond a doubt, as he is the only man seeking the nomination.

The point has been made by some of the best posted lawyers that if 'Squ' Murphy should be nominated and elected, that he would not have to resign the office of jusl'co. This would prevent the appointment of a Democratic justice of the peace by the county commissioners which wou'd be done in case he should resign. '%%%&&£

From the way things have been drif.lng tbe past few days Judge John T. Scotc will be the Democratic candidate for Mayor, and a st ong one he wi" make. He ran for the offl- once before, back in the 70's, but was defeated by Aleck Thomas by a small majority. The Judge is a self-made man, and is very popular. He is something of a musician, his favorite in*?tiument being the Hoosier "fiddle," and when in Indianapolis on the Supreme court bench be was tbe star of many social gat herings. It has been suggested that if elected Mayor he could take his fiddle to tbe council meetings and when there was a proipect of the session being unnecessarily prolonged he could bring i* out, and by his manipulations bring the meeting to an abrupt close. It is said that hia rendition of "Old Zip Coon" and "Arkausaw Traveler" will bring: smiles of enjoyment to a wooden statute. But seriously the Judge is a strong candidate, and if he should succeed in getting the nomination the. Republicans have considerable work cut out for th,em if he is beaten.

It is no ture thing, however, that Judge Scott will get the nomination. A week ago it looked as if that honor would go a begging, but now it appears that there will be a contest for it. Judge Scott will make no fi^ht, it is said, but he has some very wsrm iends who will have to contend with Councilman Wildv, who wants the nomination, and wants it bad. There are some in teres ing times ahead, and no mistake.

The ifitnes of J. E. Somes and F. F. Keith have been mentioned in connection with the Deraocatic nomination for City Treasurer, but it is admitted that Jas. Fitspatrick will be Charley Robinson's competitor in the race. Both are young and popular, and the race between them will be close and interesting.

iife:

There Is a more determined fight for the nomination for Marshal on the Republican side than for any other office, and if Marshal Leedham gets a re-nomi-ration it will be only after a very severe struggle. E. L. Keyes, Jas. Connaghan, both ex-policemen, and A. J. Thompson, have announced themselves as candidate, in addition to othera already named in this column. The Democratic nomination is between Henry Ehrenhardt, Jas. Dougherty and Frank Morrison, with tbe chances in favor of the latter.

Among tbe new names mentioned for council this week has been C. C. Oakey in the First ward. Mr. Oakey would make a good councilman, bring alive to tbe best interests of the city. The Demcrata will most likely nominate G. A, Schaal, aa was intimated last week. In tbe Fourth ward the Democrats are casting about for a candidate for council,

City Treasurer with tbe reoord of having but It is hard to tell who will be the nH* one of the most thorough efficient man. L. L. Williamson will doubtless officials ever filling it, and besides to one be the Republican candidate. L. Malof the meat popular of our German dti- lory was desirous of thaking the race sens. A Democratic politician said tbe again In the Fifth watd on the Demoother day that of all tbe candldatea: era tic ticket, but be la very sick and named for the Mayoralty he would die- will not be able to make a canvass, and, like moat to ran against Mr. Duenweg. Frank Smith or Joe Fries* will likely 'Squire Murpby, who baa Intimated that be nominated. H. F. Schmidt la being he is in the handa of his friends, la also a strong man. When elected a Justice •f tbe Peace be ran ahead of all tbe otter

talked np by the Republicans, and would make strong race. Mr. Sachs tain tbe banda of hia friends also, and

one of the two will be nominated. In the Third ward there la talk that Dr. G. W. Crapo will again be tbe Democratic candidate. Peter Beet seems to have tbe call for tbe Republican nomination at present. He is an excellent representative of tbe German element, and as the upper end of his ward has a member in Mr. Poths, he will probably bly bo thecandidate. In the Sixth ward Mr. King and Clay Leek will probably be the opposing candidates.

"I think III give the names of the candidates for posiiioos in the revenue service, this week," remarked the Rambler to the editor of The Mail oa day"Can we give them all without getting out an exMa sheet," wss h's reply, and at first it d*d look somewhat impossible. But after some little wo k, SDd a thorough sifttog of the msny applicants for the poetoffice, Indian a^enci^-i, consular appointments, elc..includtog tbose who want something and haven't decided yet just what that something is, tbe tbe following list has been prepared of those who desira to se* ve under Collector Bamon: Fi-ed Eeeburger, Fred Pfenr'g, S. C. Scott, Reuben Butz, P. Gfrcerer, T. W. Kinse*, D. Goldman, J. Jeuklns, A. B. Mewainne/, Fred App3 man, John R. Coffin. G. F. Cookerly and M. W.Stack. The la. le-:is the onlv appli* -nt here for the pos'lion of deputy collector, and the others want to be guagers, storekeepers and clerks, jest ss chance favors them. The new roller ter will be here nest week take another look over the ground, and by the time be gets through with this l'st of candidates he will wish he had never heard of he office of collector, and was back again at his old calling of punching tickets and calling "AM aboard I"

It was a very stormy night, but Rev. J. L. Corning was compliinen.'ed with a large audience last Taesday evening on tbe occasion of bis loi ial Jec u-e on the three great art mas- era, and tbe success of this interesting and insirac^ve series of illustrated leclures is assured. Next Tuesday evening Mr. Corning wi'l tell us of Michel Aagelo, the GreiSeit Master of tbe Ages in the Three Arts of Architecture, Sculpture and Paint'ng. With a powerful stereopticon will be given forty illustrations, comprising a complete pictorial story of tbe great ari'at's life.

Mrs.Mary Alick

ter of Mr. Samuel Stone, the grocer, died last Wednesday morning of consumption, which became apparent to her loving relatives only one year ago. With hope of restoration to health, her husband, Dr. W. B. Spencer, gave up his business and took her to North Carolina. There their baby died, and coming home to bury it, Mrs. Spencer was unable to return to the climate where her health had seemed to improve. •,'•

Mr.

Since the above was put in type Mr. Fitzpatrick has announced publicly that he will not be a candidate for the nomination, thus leaving it in doubt. P. W. Stack would like to have the honor, and between J. E. Somes, F. F. Keith, and himself will perhaps carry it off. There will be a brisk fight from now until the decisive time. Charley Robinson will outer the race with the prestige of having made an efficient, rel'able officer, and as nothing succeeds like success, he will have no trouble in defeating his opponent, no matter who be maybe.

Naylor has a proposition to sell the Opera House, and wishing to spend next winter in the south to benefit his health, is seriously considering the offer.
