A LIBRARIAN'S RESIGNATION.
Mr. Iloopcr, on Account of Failing. Health,
Decides to Retire from ihe Library.
A called meeting of the members of the School
Board constituting the committee on public
library was held last night to consider William
De M. Hooper's resignation of tho flee of
librarian, which he has held for nearly fire
years. 3Ir. Hooper resigned on account of fail
ing health and physical inability to perform tbo
doties connected with the office, which are
naturally somewhat arduous, and have become
more so on account of the invoicing of the
books. He has devoted himself to h;s work,
and his resignation was & snrpriso to
the few who were made aware
of the fact yesterday. Who will
succeed him is as yet not decided. The place
will be temporarily fillei," said a member of
the board last nicht, "by sorao one of the attend
ants in the library at toe present time. It is too
soon to conjecture as to whom we shall select
permanently, and in this matter we shall not
act hastily; we intend to take pleuty of time
and make a choice which will not be rejretted
afterward. Our affairs are very indefinite now,
and when they will be clearer is more than any
of cs can toll."
On account of the invoicing no books ill be
ind for circulation for sere-ral days. The delivery-room
will he kept open, however, in order
that all hoc l;s dtu inay be returned, and due
notice will be given when the books Till be
ready for circulation. This will not affect the
readlne-roora. which will remain open to the
pubiia at tbe usual hours.

BEFORE SEVERAL JUDGES
Receiver Bradley's Report on the Con
dition of the United Order of Ilonor.
UadaCertain Surplus Teen Left Undisturbed,
the Creditors Could Now Get a Larger
Ter Cent, on Their Claims.
Giles S. Bradley, receiver of the Snpreme
Lodge of the United Order of Honor, yesterday
filed with Judge Taylor a report of the condi
tion of his trust, of which he took charge 7aly
21. Tbe assets, the report states, consisted of a
quantity of books, papers and a little cash.
Their total worth he estimated at $58.34. Of
that amount he expended $7. OS. Finding this
condition of affairs, he made an examination of
the books, memoranda and otbor papers of the
lodge from OcL 1, 18S5, to the date of his ap
pointment as receiver. He discovered that on
the 1st of October, 1835, the lodge bad two
funds, the frnsral and the mutual aid
foods. The former, he thought, came from
the sale of subordinate lodge charters, supplies,
and the assessment of a per capita tax of $1
upon every member of the subordinate lodges.
Tbe mutal aid fund was derived from monthly
assessments upon members to pay death and
total disablity benefits. According to the by
laws of the order the disbursements of these
funds was in the hands of the supreme treasurer,
who was required to keD separate accounts of
the funds. That of the tuutnal aid was designed
to meet death aod disability claims only, and tne
general fund was to be used only for the purpose
for which it was created. The receipts of tho
general fund from Oct., 1SS3, to July 21, 1SS3,
including a balance of $397.52. amounted to $19,
451.6G. The books and stabs, however, indi
cated that the treasurer during the same inter
val paid out on reneral-fnnd warrants $28,233.04,
Which is $S,nC.18 in excess of receipts for that
purpose. The receipts of the mutual aid fund
for that period, with a balance of $3,201.70, were
$233,721.51 Tbe amount paid on
death and disability warrants between the
dates given was $213,U19.53, leaving a surplus,
if not devoted to other uses than those intended,
of at least $24,801.49. On July 18, 18S3, Frank
D. Mscbetb, the supreme president, addressed
a circular to all tbe subordinate lodges, calling
attention to unpaid claims amounting to $49,
519.S0. The surplus given above would have
paid over CO per cent, of these claims bad it re
mained undisturbed. Tbe receiver states that
the membeiship and assessments called were
gradually and materially withdrawn daring the
last two years. He accounts for
this on the ground of the failure
to pay losses promptly, and believes that had
they been met the fund would have increased
so that every dollar of the liabilities might have
been paid.
The receiver thinks the financial embarrass
ment began when the officers used the mutual
aid fund for purposes other than tbe payment of
death and total disability claims. In substan
tiation of this view be files a schedule marked
C, footing np $2,434.55, containing items for sal
ary, postage, printing, and other things. Another
schedule, araouctingjto $2,970.08, is made up of
items for salary, legal services, traveling ex
penses, and matters of that kind. There is then
given a summary of the financial condition of
the order from October, 1833, to July 21, 16S3,
as follows:
Receipts, general fund
Receipts, mutual aid f und. .....
Keceipts, ball fund.....

Total.... 5252.594.U1
Balance unaccounted for 7.133.8G
Total $259,723.47
In commenting on this statement the receiver
says it seems that at least $11,105.75 waa drawn
from tbe mutual aid fund and used for other
purposes other than paying death and total d li
ability losses. He thinks the amended articles
of the constitution perhaps gave some authority
for the division of the fund, but still it was the
application of the money in this manner that
added to the complication of the financial con
dition of the order.
With reference to the unpaid claims against
the lodge mentioned in Supreme President Mac
beth's circular, the receiver says it will be found
that tbirty-one of the forty-seven bear date
prior to October, 1856, aod eleven subsequent
to that time, while there is no reeord showing
the date of the remainder. Taking it for
granted that the thirty-cue policy-holders have
legitimate claims, and that there was a wrong
ful perversion of the mutual aid f and, the re
ceiver leaves it to the court to say who is
responsible.
The report closes with references to the bonds
of the trustees and officers, and states that be
has been unable to get possession of those of su
preme president, secretary and treasurer. He
also refers to the abssnee of certain entries on
the books which would identify certain cash
which he had been told was received.
An Allectl Anarchist.
United States .Commissioner Van Boren, after
examining four witnesses yesterday afternoon,
bound over to the grand jury Daniel W. Ting
ley, charged with blowing up the Cutler postoffice
last Thursday at midnight with dynamite. On
the night of the explosion one witness testified
that Tingley bad been heard to say that he in
tended blowin g np the town. E. Bishop, of Frank
fort, in bis evidence said that tbe prisoner was
the same man who had on last Thursday pur
chased six pounds of dynamite and that he bad
recognized bim on another occasion in
tbe boti at Cutler, when the arrest was
made. "While ttie examination was in progress,
and afterward, Tingley continually asserted bis
innocence. He i3 twenty-six years of age, sandy
complexion, and a painter by trade. Of late he
had been tending bar in the only saloon in Cut
ler, and became offended at the postmaster,
William Sellers, because, as he said, Sellers
signed a remonstrance petitioning tbe commis
sioners not to grant the proprietor of the saloon
another license. When the explosion occurred
Tingley was at once suspected, but was not at
once arrested nntil Mr. Bishop, of whom the
dynamite had been purchased, recognized him.
He was then taken into eustody and kept in jail
at Delphi, until yesterday, when he was broaght
here by Deputy United States Marshal Ward.
Deputy Postmaster McKinney says the prisoner
is an Anarchist. Tingley says that he will be
able to give the required bond of $200 to-day.
Gruelle Retains an Attorney.
The petition of Thomas Egan and others to
have Thomas Gruelle and John Bodenmiller en
joined from publishing tho Labor Signal, and
for the appointment of a receiver for the paper,
will be beard by Judge Howe next Monday.
Gruelle will resist the proposed legal action, and
the supposition is that he will be backed by the
Democratic State central committee, for which
be has been working recently. He yesterday re
tained Henry Spaan to defend him. The act
caused considerable comment, from tbe fact
that before Gruelle went Into the employ of the
Democrats he was constantly denouncing Spaan
through bis naosr as one of the indicted in the
tally-shest cases.
Suing? the Llqnor-Sellere.
Last January Edward Newmeyer, eighteen
years of age, while under tbe influeoce of liquor,
shot into a street-car, in West Indianapolis, and
wounded the wife of James S. Benson. He was
arrested for shooting with intent to kill, but ow
ing to bis youth be was fined but $50 and not
imprisoned. Yesterday Mr. Benson brought
nit against John Scba'ub and Com ad Wulff, the
West Indianapolis saloon-keepers who, he al
leges, sold the liquor to young Newmeyer, in
violation of the law. He demands $6,000 dam
ages from each.
Mr. Shaw Acquitted.
Oria Shaw, a Broad Ripple butcher indicted
for larceoy, has been acquitted in tbe Criminal
Court. The only evidence for the prosecution
was tbe statement of an enemy cf the defendant
who songht to get his revenge by accusing Mr.
Sbaw of an act that had been committed by
Eome otLer person.
Highway Robber Punished.
In the Crimal Court, yesterday, Jndge Irvin
sentenced James Haley to the penitentiary for
two years for highway robbery. Two months
ago Haley assaulted and robbed Evander Evans
on tbe Kentucky-avenue bridge over White river.
He pleaded guilty to the offense.
Not a Strung Case.
The trial of Darby Donahue was partially
heard before the Mayor yesterday. The evi
dence against him was not very strong. The
case will be concluded this morning, and in the
meantime Donahue is permitted to be at lib
erty on his own recognizance.

MANUAL TRAINING IN TIIE SCHOOLSl-U
The Department Begins the Term with Grat
ifying Attendance and Interest.
The city High-school has this year added, a
new featnre to its curriculum that bids fair'to
meet with general popularity and benefit. It is
the introduction of a course of industrial train
ing, being confined to wood-working and prac
tical drawing. This has been an ideal within
the hopes of the school authorities for some
time, and its realization this year is expected to
be a permanent institution. Five years ago a
summer course of industrial instruction was
operated in the old High-school building, under
the direction of Professor Goss, then connected
with Purdue University. At that time four
classes cf twelve pnpils each were formed, , and
the work met tbe approval of all ,who
saw it. This was only an experiment, hows ver,
and it was some time before the matter was
brought to a final decision. From tbe first Prof.
W. W. Grant bas been desirous of introducing
tba work in the regular high-school courses of
instruction, and this year tbe attempt will be
made. At High-school No. 1 rooms were
fitted up during tne past summer with expro
priate arpltances for wood working. Eight
benches have been placed in a double row, each
being large enough to accommodate two pupils
at the same time. With each bench there ia in
cluded a complete set of carpenter's tools,
which are supposed to be kept in
good working order by the students themselves.
Through tho generosity of Stoughton J.
Fletcher and George Merritt, twelve sets of
tools bave been offered gratuitously, and in ad
dition to these, four sets have been purchased by
the school board, making the requisite number
of sixteen. It was the original plan to admit
pupils of all the four years to the classes in
manual training, but it was found tbat the de
mands for admission would exceed the capaci
ties of the department, and the instruction has
been limited to first-year pnpils only, of both
the North and the South Side. However, a few
cf the higher j sure have been admitted to make
the classes even in numbers. The work is
wholly elective, but it is accepted as one year's
study towsrd gradnation.
At present the classe number ninetv-six pu
pils. These are divided into six sections of fix-,
teen each, and their instruction in shop work'
and practical drawing is given upon alternate
days. Each pupil devotes two hours a day to
tbe work, and is given tbe same credit aa if they
bad been spent in the Greek or Latin rooms.
All of the shop work and portion of the draw,
ing is superintended by Prof. W. II. Bass, while
tne remainder of the drawing has been placed
under tbe direction of Miss Selliek, of High
school Na 1. The work is finding considerable
favor among the yonng ladies as well as
the boys, a large number having joined
the classes, and every day some are in the shops
wun piane3 and band-saws. Their work com
pares very favorably wlto any done in the shop,
the Instructor says, and in many iostaoces tbey
exhibit a natural skill and tact in working far
abore that of their sterner bench companions.
The course of study In the work-shop is di
vided Into six general groups. The student is
first explained the use of all tbe tooli placed at
his control. This includes practical instruction
in squaring, beveling, guaginr, application of
the cbalk-line, rules, planes and saws. The first
real work done is in jointing with plain joints.
A common box is the only required result of
this series of lessons, but simple as it
may seem, it Is ofttimes the most difficult part cf
the entire course to acquire successfully. , . After
the student has beeome skilful in jointing be is
instructed tn splicing, of which there are some
half dozen varieties. During this instruction be
is required to recite upon the adaptability of
each variety to certain conditions. Mortisiog ia
next taken up, including the making of panels,
after which dove-tailing is explained. Iu all of
these easea great care is taken with each indi
vidual pupil, and no one department ia aban
doned and another taken op nntil the pupil has .
become thoroughly conversant with the work.
Tbe final work of the course will be tho con
struction of some piece of furniture. -By thei
middle of the year Professor Bass expects to
bave latbes in bis shops, and instruction in.
wood turning and carving will be given as an'
advanced course of study. i,t
Amusements. ,

ville," which has been such" a success that he
will play nothing else next season. Williams is
a very strong comedian, and tn his plays he in
troduces new songs and specialties.
Preparing for Klectrlo Light.
The Brush Electric-light Company hopes to
be able to light the central part of the city with
electricity in a month or six weeks. The secur
ing of the contract necessitated the putting in
of an almost entirely new plant here, and there
has been some delay in having the new
machinery made. In addition to the dynamos
now in use. two new ones of the greatest
capacity are being put in position. The work of
setting the poles and stringing the wires will be
pushed rapidly. Tbe Council committee on
public light, under whose direction the lights
will be located, bas not yet determined in what
territory the one hundred lights will be dis
tributed. It is probable that all that portion of
the city lying within North, East, South and
West streets will be lighted. The light, under
the contract, will burn all night the year round.
Requisition Issued.
A warrant was issaed by Governor Gray yes
terday for the arrest of John D. Kinney on a re

The man wanted is now in jail at Fort Wavne,
in which city he was arrested by detective Burns,
into whose hands the requisition papers were

The Camp Meeting of the Seventh-Day Ad
ventlsts at Druce'a Grove.
The attendance at the camp-ground of the
Seventh-Day Advsntists is steadily increasing,
there being a number of arrivals yesterday from
all parts of the State. The first service was
held Tuesday evening, when Elder Corless
.preached to a good congregation. He said that
the coming of the Lord would not be as a thief
in the night to the ungodly alone, but that a
large share of the professed people of God would
be taken as in a snare. Yesterday morning the
stand was occupied by Dr. J. II. Kellogg, of
Michigan, who spoke upon the subject of temper
ance. Seventh-day Adventists, he said, consid
ered temperance in dress and eating as of as
much importance as temperance in drinking.
He thought all temperance workers should raise
their voices against the use of tooacco. tea,
coffee and pork, which, he declared,
every Intelligent man knew to be injurious
to health. In the afternoon a sermon was
delivered by Elder Butler. The attendance.
Doth morning and afternoon, was good, and the
attention very marked. Tbe camp is located
near the northern terminus of the Massachu
setts and College-avenue street-car line. There
are at present about seventy tents on the ground,
capable of accommodating eight persons each.
Care has been taken to keep the camp clean, and
it is a ver7 desirable place for religious services,
being at all times quiet. It is expected that by
Friday evening there will be at least five hun
dred on the ground. In connection with tbe
camn meeting the annual conference of tbe
Seventh-day Adventists is being held, all the
xninUters in the State being present, together
with George I. Butler, president of the General
Conference; J. O. Corless, G. G. Rupert, C Eld

A New Pastor Expected.
The Indiana Conference meets next week at
Mt. Vernon, and at that time the question of a
pastor at Meridian-street Church will be de
termined. A member of the official board stated
yesterday that the matter had been left entirely
with Bishop Vincent, who is to preside at the
approaching conference. "We recommended to
theBishop," said this member, "three ministers
from whom we would like for bim to make a
choice, and I doubt not that he will do so. Thfj
are Rev. Dr. Parkhnrst, of Greencastle; Lev.
Dr. Cleveland, of Philadelphia, and Rev. ur.
Givler of Bloomington. Oar first choice among
these would probably have been Dr. Parhurst,
but he declined to leave his present place cr
ABSOLUTELY PURE.
For quick rtdsms, tho Hoyal Baking Powder Is superior to all other leaventog
agents. It is absolutely pure and wholesome and of tho highest leavening power. It
is always uniform in strength and quality and never fail to mako light, sweet, mcst
palatable and nutritivo food; Bread, biscuits, muffins, cake, etc, raised with Royal
Baking Powder may bo eaten hot without distressing results to tho most delicate
digestive organs. It will keep in any climato without deterioration.
Prof. H. A. Mott, U. S. Government Chemist, after examining officially tho
principal baking powders of tho country, reported :
"The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, for I haro so found it in many
tests xnado both for that company and tho United State3 Government,
" Because of the facilities tbat company have for obtaining perfectly pure cream
of tartar, and for other reasons dependent upon the proper proportions cf the same,
and tho method of its preparation, tho Royal Baking Towder i3 undoubtedly the
purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the public

rather bis charge refused to consent to his leav
ing it. and he would not make the change with
out its consent. Inasmuch as Bishop Vincent waa
the one to recommend Dr. Cleveland, it would
appear that the latter's chances were good for
tho appointment. He was recommended not
only by tbe Bishop but by the Rev. Lee Mun-
hail. formerly of this city, who says mat no is
an eloquent man and a floe pastor!

The total number of diamonds found in the
United States is not mora than 200. The
largest authenticated diamond crystal was
found opposite Richmond, at Manchester,
Chesterfield county, Va., by a laborer en
paged in grading the streets. Its original
weight was 23J carats, but it bad a large flaw
on one side, and had been injured by the
finder putting it into an iron furnace in order
to prove its genuineness. After cutting; it
weighed 11 J carats. But even a diamond of
that kind isn't seen or Bold every day. We
