Abe Donaldson, who has the contract for constructing the new poor asylum. has already commenced work, and it is his intention to push it as fast as possible to completion.

New Rail Road Talk The Indianapolis, Bedford and Bloo ninaton railroad projectors are not i. lie; on the contrary they are hard at work pushing the enterprise. Gen. Wilder and Engineer Thompson have been in the city for some time, and every day is spent in furthering their plans. They have selected their route .througfi Bloo jiington,and will ask the council fcr the use of the streets and alleys that may be crossed in passing through the city. The line enters north of the city, back of Maple Heights, and will come south all the way on Madison street until the Monon is reached, at the cure near the chair factory, then it will follow by tie side of the Monon all the w&y south of the city, only that it will run west of the Model Homing mill. Mr. Thompson states that they are also at work securing the right-of-way in townships through which the survey passes, and are meeting with very good success. In fact, every step is being taken that will close up the details so that work can commence in the construction department as oon as elections are held in Morgan and Johnston counties, providing they are favorable. During the past two weeks, both Gen. Wilder and Mr. Thompson have spent considerable time in investigating the coal fields of Green county, also the iron deposits that has always been sai1 to have been found in that vicinity, and they have about concluded, so Mr. Thompson states to the Telephone, to make a careful survey into these fields with the intention, if the proper donations can be secured, of constructing a branch line directly west from Bloomington. Anyhow, such a project will receive serious consideration at once.

Miss Maud Vanandt and mother are home, after visiting friends and Chicago, Louisville Corydon. Miss Lou Mathers, east (5th street, has received word that she has been elected a teacher in the intermediate department of the Franktown schools. The position is a good one and she will probably accept. Jrs. Abe Voyles, of west First street, is still in a very critical condition. She is able now to see her friends who were refused admission for a while. She also desires to express her thanks, through the Telephone, to her many friends for the kindness to her in her suffering. One of the greatest attractions at the fair will be the champions of champions. Profs. Wonder and Honey in their thrilling, brilliant and fearless rides over the jumps, marvelous feats in their Roman standing hippodrome riding, challenge the world of an equal. They also have three thoroughbred greyhounds that appear in the hippodrome race.

Repeal of the Silver Bill.

The silver purchase clause of the Sherman act was repealed by congress yesterday, and free coinage is vcted down. All of Bland's substitute were badly defeated. To a certain extent the south and west combined against the east. The repeal passed by a vote of 240 to 109. Indiana Congressmen voted as follows on the Bland substitute for free coinage at a ratio of l(j to 1. For the substitute, Messrs. Bretz, Brookshire, Conn, Holman, and Taylor; against the substitute, Messrs Brown, Bynum, Cooper, Hammond, Johnson, Martin, McNagny and Waugh. It is the intention of the family of Dr. R. G. Boone to leave for their new location in Michigan next week. It will be necessary

j for the Doctor to cancel a number

of his i n s t i t u t e engagements throughout the state.

i The fair is an assured success, j notwithstanding statements to the j contrary by certain "croakers' and drones, whose only occupation in life seems to be to find fault, and j who never contributed an idea nor ! a cent towards any public enterI prise.

For the occasion of the Indiana Conference, M. E. church, which is to be held at New Albany Sept. 13th to 19th, the Monon will sell tickets to New Albany and return at one and one third fare for the round trip.

Dan Drinkworth, traveling representative of 4 'Randall's Horse Register" and who has been engaged by the fair directors to act as 4 'starter'' and "expert judaeM inthe horse department, at the Big Fair next month is in the city. He pronounces the track to be a very fast one, and says that our fair will be, so far as races are concerned, the best in the circuit. Mr. Drinkworth is known all over the west as one of the best starting judges in the country, and he is considered and has been for years, a recognized authority on horses. The fair directors are to be congratulated on securing the services of Mr. Drinkworth during the Fair.

Wishing to go to Delphi, Mr. McDoel boarded one of the regular trains and took a sent in the smoking room of the parlor car. Soon the conductor came in and called for his fare. Mr. McDoel handed him 61. m for his fare.

The conductor m'ouis not to Lave known Mr. McDoel, and naturally supposed that he had, with his private ear, been left behind at Indianapolis. Thinking this a good op portunity to test the conductor's honesty, Mr. McDoel looked after his train report when it was turned in and found that no cash fare paid to Delphi was shown. He called the attention of General Superintendent Collins to the fact, and the conductor U now out of a job.

The child of Story Walkei, west 0th trect, is quite sick with typhoid fewr. Congressman George W. Cooper, of this district, voted for the repeal of the Sherman act. W. J.Dodds has rented his home property on east 7th street to A.H. Hyatt, of Sheridan. Ind. Mr.

Rouse, one of the most prominent stock men in Indiana, to reserve for him live pens for sheep, four pens for hogs and s stalls for cattle. Mr. Route has some of the finest stock in the country, and his exhibit at our fair will be well worth seeing.

The marriage of Bedford Sudbury, deputy county treasurer,and Miss Nellie Hough will be solemnised this week at the home of the bride in Fountain City, Ind. Miss Hough was a former student of Indiana University, and is quite well known here. They will take a trip to the world's fair and (e in Bloomington in about two weeks.

A few week's ago the Telephone published the particulars of a personal controversy between a man by the name of Bradley and Frank E. Worley, at EUettsville. The trouble was augmented Tuesday, by Mrs. Bradley having Mrs. Worley arrested for larceny. It seems that the Bradleys had been given notice by WoHeys to vacate a house that they had rented, and they had refused to do so. The other dav it is claimed that while the Bradleys were away from home Mrs. Worley had their household goods taken out of the house, and stored away. Upon the return of the Bradleys they had Mrs. Worley arrested for larceny. She waved examination and was bound over to court, giving ,500 bail. Tie Bradleys have also brought su-t against the Worleys for civil damages, alleging a violation of contract. A branch of what is known as the 4iA. P. A,-5 or American Protective Association, was organized in Bloomington last night. It is an anti-Catholie organization, and its meetings are private so far as the general public is concerned. The meeting was held in the Armory, and there was quite a large number present, the enrollment for

membership numbering 7; by the time the meeting adjourned. No officers were elected, but this will probably follow ut the next regular meeting. The order here was gotten up at the instance of a State organizer, who is forming branches of the Association throughout the State. The American Protective Association is, as stated above, an anti-Catholic organization, and its object is said to be to defeat all efforts of members of that church in any political aspirations, or in securing places in educational or benevolent institutions, its members are pledged to work to this end, regardless of political parties. The Association has a very large membership in the larger cities through out the country.
