Tim last regnlar council meeting in June occurred at the city building niglit Ttie Itepublkan members uquan dered conaiderable time caucusing in Mayor Uanahteon'g ofBce before the read ing of the minutes began, but after the mating got fairly started businefw was disposed of without any unnecessary words or dilly-dalliance. None of the members seemed to be in a humor to in flict their oratory on the assemblage and mwoquently the meeting was notably relieved of that dull, dragging monotony which characterized the council's sessions of a few weeks ago. The most important action of the evening was the approval of a report from the finance committee, stating that $50,000 had been borrowed from Quigley, ilarraman

& Co.,

of New York, to be taken as

needed to meet current expenses during the year, and to become due in May and June of 1891 and also $50,000, with which to take up $48,000 now outstand ing against the city, and bearing 7 and 8 per cent, interest. Both these loans were available for an interest rate of 5| per cent per annum, and are to be secured by the city's notes doe one year hence.

BASE BALL BRIEFS-

Wb«( tl« B*ys line DliMond Are DVIbc -XSKII. The Tern» Haute Kifles' team have arranged for a game with the Juniors on the Idaho grounds next Sunday.

While no announcement has been made it is generally conceded that Uie Terre Hautee will sign two additional strong men wttliin the next two iays. It ifisaiu they will be cards.

That "Skinny" Wilmington will be signed for the Terre Ilaute team is the prevailing opinion. At all events he is on his way here sad will probably reach Terre Haute Saturday night. A Terre Haute director who was asked regarding the matter was altogether son commital.

Gegan, who has done great work this season with the Houstons in the defunct Texas league, is in the city and will pitch one of the Quincy games with the Terre Uautes. It is tinderstood that he will be placed on trial and if found up to snuff will be signed for the Terre Haute team.

The Junior Base Ball Club has reorganized and already has signed the following men: Corey, 2 b. Winfred F. Brown, c. Walter Smith, I b. Charley Lint*, 3 b. Harnr Whittaker, r. f. Hutchinson, p. Harry Dickens, 1. f. Will Herrold, m. f. Herbert Hassinger, s. s.

It was rumored in Evansville yesterday that "Ducky" Hemp would go to the Evansville team. Just how tins is to be brought about remains to be seen. Unless big money is paid for his release he will stay here. If he deliberately "shakes" the Terre Haute team, our cranks here can lay the flattering unction to their souls that Mr. Hemp will do no more base ball work for the balance of the season.

Interest in base ball is reviving in Terre Haute indeed, is extending to every class of society. Among the laboring classes the fever of interest in the sport was never so high. This lis manifest from the fact that every Sunday, in almost every quarter of the city can be seen teams of the brawny sons of toil contesting at bat and in the field. "Why do you fellowB play ball on Sunday?" was asked of a big puddler recently. "What's the matter with you have you gone daft?" was his reply and added, 'The reason I play ball on Sunday is the best reason in the world. I like the

and I work hard night and day and no other time for the relaxation that I get from base ball." "How much relaxation is there in a game of ball in a hot day?" was asked. "This much. It is Bport—enjoyable sport—and is to me a source of relief after six (lays of hard work in front of the xnill furnaces."

I*antlmeR-4'tinrIeNton.

The Pastime Base Ball Club have alout concluded arrangements for a game here next Sunday with the big Charleston team. The Charlestons are all large men, hard hitters and thus far this season have put up splendid Iwill. The Pastimes will strengthen and if "Skinny" Wilmington, who has recently secured his release from the Jamestowns arrives here, as is now anticipated, by Saturday night, he will be in the bo* for the Pastimes. He has signified his willingness to pitch for the home team. A fine gameof ball may be reasonably expected.

The Quincy team will play here Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The Eastern Stars hereby challenge the Nellie Bly's to a match game of ball on Sunday morning, to be played on either South Seventh street or North Ninth street grounds.

THE COUNTY TAX REDUCTION

OOMIimiOXER DICEEBSOX 2EX fXAIHIi WHY IT WW MAPS.

The C«w»ty l'onwtmi«Hen Arr Set Wholly ReaiMMaaiMe for C'aaatjr JSxpraMH-ralylMhBle rieM ,.p,

Bxcrelac* T»*Baar.

A repreeentative of this paper presented himself before the county commission ere this morning in their sanctum at tlie court house. "I see/'ihesaid, "that yonjliave rednced the county tax levy for political effect.

It was very evident that thie uncliarit able imputation did not set well with the commissioners—a man with half an eye could have detected that fact "Well," bes^n Mr. Dickenson, "that reduction in the tax levy was made because it was possible to make it, and it would have heen made just when it was if there hadn't been an election in sight for five years. There was no consideration of a political nature about it We saw by careful mathematical calculation that the levy of 00| cents was more than was necessary for the present current expenses

the county, and that it could be

legitimately reduced to 50J cents. Therefore we made the reduction." The gentleman then referred to the raising of the

levy

last June, and in ex

planation thereof said: "The levy was raised a year ago because it was necessary to raise it You know, as we know and everybody else in the county knows, that the improvements of the past year in the way of county bridges have been unusually extensive. We bad the draw and the Macksville trestku_anI many other nece®ary improvements of like kind confronting us when our levy of a year ago was made, and we did only what we could not escstpe doing when we made the county tax rate G0J cents. Then comes the* new election law, involving an expenditure of perhaps $10,000. This was taken into our reckoning when we were figuring on a reduction, and still tlie reduction was possible. I do not believ«T that, while we have made mistakes, our record is so entirely reprehensible. The county does not owe a dollar, except for the court house, and we have money on hand. I apprehend that no county in .Indiana is in better condition."

And then the commissioner went on to explain what everybody knows except the Gazette—and what that paper really knows, but hasn't the honeety to say so— that the commissioners do not control more than a minor portion of the county expenses. The Gazette might look elsewhere for the source of some of the big ontlay that they attribute to Messrs. Dickenson, Henderson and Finkbiner, and not search unavailingly. The commissioners do not even control the poor expenses. The trustees.do that Judge Maek and Judge Allen could probably give the Gazette some pointers on where the county money goes.

Y'OBK,

June IS.—N. G. Osborne,

editor of the New Haven Register, who was an eye witness to the famous recon tre between John L. Sullivan and Isaac H. Bromley, makes the following statement in the Morning Press: "My attention has been called to your comments upon Ute Bromley-Sullivan episode in Washington, June Sth, and particularly that part of it which it suggests tlie ktteros being in a moody spirit when he refused an introduction to John Sullivan. Sullivan was in no way presented to our party but undertook to foroe bis way into it by brute force in order to drink a glass of wine with Colonel Tom Ochiltree, of whom he had read probably in the newspapers. It was an imjtertinent interference and met Uie rebuke it deserved. Sullivan was under tlie influence of liquor and seemed to have restraint terrorised. Before leaving he took off bis bat and begged Mr. Bromley's pardon. Preparatory to leaving for tlie South on the 9 o'clock special train, Sullivan insisted on Mr- Bromley sbak ing his hand. Mr. Bromley refused and ordered him out of the room. That is the whole thing in a nutshell. It is just such an act as any self respecting gentleman would commend

JACKSON RED HOT.

H« la DlNnppointed nt Sullivan** Delay. SAN FRANCISCO,

June 18.—Peter Jack

son is gelling decidedly red hot over the delay on the part of John L. Sullivan to accept one of the numerous propositions that have be^n made looking toward a match between tlie two champions, in tliiscity. The colored man who came back from England with a good sized bank account is taking things easy for a while, but he says in pretty vigorous langnnge that he does not propose to loaf forever, and that if tho American champion has any intention of meeting him in the ring it will le just as well for him to indicate the fact without any further delay. A communication to this effect has been sent to Sullivan's representatives in tlie East, and unless a satisfactory reply is received within a few weeks Jackson will bid f-irwell for the time being to the United States and return home to Australia.

STEAM PIPE EXPLOSION.

Damage Oonf In New York Thla Horning. NKW YORK,

June 18.—Great excite

ment was caused in Fulton street near Broadway this morning by the explosion of a pipe of the steam heating |co in the cellar of the building. The explosion was only a few yards from that of last Monday and did 'much greater damage. The sfdewalk was torn up and large quantities of sand was forced into the neighboring cellars. Many plate glass windows were broken, and six jersons who were caught by escaping steam narrowly escaped serious injuries. Stock was much damaged in Knoe's famous hat store on the corner and in several adjoining buildings. Occupants will bring suits for damage against the steam healing company. Mr. Knoes has already brought suit for 125,000 against the company as a common nuisance.

IN THE HOUSET

Tlie Repnblleftna Refnae to Conalder the Hllver BUI at Onee. WASHINGTON,

is. felt as to the action in the House when the silver bill is sent from tlie Senate. Friends of free coinage will demand that it )e taken up for immediate action and will fight for instant concurrence in the Senate action. The opponents of the bill insist that ss it carries an appropriation it ought to be referred to the committee of the whole. If this is done it will take its place at the bottom of the immense calendar and will be a difficult case. Others hold that it should be sent to the conference committee at once. An interesting discusaion is expected in the House when the question comce up.

The silver bill was presented from tlie Senate at 12:45 and its announcement was greeted witli long applause on the Democratic side. The House was in committee of the whole on tlie Indian appropriation bill. Bland immediately moved that tlie committee rise to permit the House to consider the silver bill. The Republicans opposed Bland's motion for the committee to rise. Reed took aseat in the center of the Republican side and voted with tlie Republicans. A teller was demanded and the vote was 04 yeas, 105 nays. The committee tlnw refused to rise to immediately consider tlte bill. The Republicans and four or five Democrats voted against Bland's motion. The House then continued the consideration of the Indian appropriation bill.

The bill authorizing the construction of abridge over the Tennessee river at Guntersville, Ala., passed. Other unimportant measures were taken up and tiassed before considering the Indian appropriation bill. ______ tn the ftenate.

Hh Experience In Anatralift—Skipped Ont. NKW YORK,

June IS.—Bud luck seems

to stalk in front of George C. Miln. tlie ex-preacher actor. Miln created a profound sensation by leaving tlie pulpit for the stage. For awhile he was fairly successful from a financial point of view, but as soon as the novelty hail worn off audiences that were purely nominal in size greeted him wherever he went, and a year or so ago he returned to this city in a condition which is described in professional parlance as "broke," He succeeded, however, in finding a backer for a tour in Australia and for awhile the most flattering reports of hia success were wafted across the waters. Then for along while nothing was heard of him. Within tho last few days, however, advices have been received from Melbourne to the effect that he bad been decared insolvent that he had broken his parole to appear in court and had skipied to New Zealand and that a warrant for his arrest had leen issued. It is likely to go hard witli him.
