ADULTER ATI OX OF VINEGAR.
Hoyf the State Board of Health Expects to Hold
Dealers to an Observance of the Law.
Tbe rooms of tho State B-jard of Health
etill present tho appearance of an analyti
cal chemist's laboratory, while Secretarj
Metcalf is engaged in testing samples of
vinegar procured from the local dealers
throughout tho State, with a view of en
forcing tho legislation of last winter
against the adulteration of that much
used commodity. Tho law is plain enough,
providing heavy fines against people who
sell, oiler, or expose for sale, as cider vino
gar, anything not the legitimate product of
pure apple iuice, and imposing like penal
ties on reople who manufacture, sell, or
expose for sale vinegar containing ingre
dients injurious to health. Other details
are provided for in the way of regulating
the acidity, coloring, branding, etc., and
the law, if carried out. would undoubtedly
inure to the benefit of the public
health. "We think we shall be able
to enforce it," said Dr. Metcalf to
a Journal reporter, yesterday, "and
I will tell you how we proposo to go about
it. A good deal of viuegar is Hold by retail
dealers which is adulterated with sulphuric
acid and other deleterious ingredients, re
sulting in a product that will ruin the
teeth and Moniach of anyone who uses it
continuously. Retail dealers have no
ineniiH of detecting theso adulterations, but
they know they are liable to punishment if
they handle adulterated vineg-.ir. and that
thev can have a test made at this ofiice,
without c ha rue. of any vinegar they have
reason to suspect. The result will be that
hereafter retail dealers will demand a guar
antee of vinegars purchased from jobbers
or manufacturers, and if tho tests made by
us show that the purchasers Have been
swindled they will have recourse on the
parties from whom thev purchased. This
much as to honest dealers As to parties
who Knowingly deal in adulterated vine
gar for the sake of tho additional profit
pained, we shall have to relv on our own
ingeuuity to get hold of them. We have
arrangements for purchasing from sus
pected partie. and if the viuegar pur
chased is such as is forbidden by law we
expect to enforce the Penalties provided.
'I he tests are easily made ana are certain,
and to prevent any mistake wo keep a full
record of every examination made, iuth

BETIIAJiY AXD CAMP ACTON
Assembly Day at The Park, When Things
Were Put in Order for Meetings.
AFlace Where the Xatural Advantages in
Scenery and Location Have Eeen Utilized
to the Utmost Services at Acton.
There was little done at Bethany Park,
yesterday, ontside of getting things in order
for the regular exercises, which will begin
to-day. It was, in fact, assembly day, and
the visitors were busily engaged in putting
up tents, moving into cottages, or else se
curing quarters at tho hotel. This is the
eighth annual session of the a sscmbfo', mak
ing six on the present grounds, tho two first
having been held at Island Park.1 The
grounds at Bethany Park are admirable for
the purpose for which they are used, the
park consisting of tbirty-6even and a half
acres of land, situated about twenty
milessouthwestof Indianapolis, onthe Indi
anapolis & Viuccnnes railroad, and near the
little village of Brooklyn, Morgan county.
The railroad runs along the front of the
park, which faces a little south of east.
Thiasite, which iiesaraong, and, one may also
say, on the hills of Morgan county, has had
its great natural advantages so much im
proved by the management that it alTords a
most attractive place a place that could
be easily converted into a popular summer
resort. On the north side of the hotel is
a beautiful artificial lake of eight acres,
containing two islands, on which numerous
shade trees have been planted. A bathing
urraugeiucnt, together with boat-houso
aud (in amplo supply of boats, afibrd facili
ties for the amusement of thobe who lovo
to sport in the aqueous eloment. The re
mainder of tb park consists of a
ridge or backbone of land rising
gradually, with a northwesterly trend from
the iront to quite a height in the rear of
of the grounds.
Ine land of tne adjacent country is all of
height of Weed Patch hill, the hiirhest ele
uroKen, nuiy nature, ana, in fart, a snort
distance away is the hill called Mt. .Etna.
Which lack lint a. fnw for f rnliin tr th
vation in the State of Indiana. A hollow
running diagonally through tho park has
been dammed in such a way as to form a
Prettv little fish-pond. Across the hollow, a
couple of bridges relieve tho visitor of tho
trouble of climbing down one declivity
and up another in qrder to pass from
ono hide to tho other. . There is
an adundance of fine. largo
forest trees, such as maple and oak, and
tho open spots aro planted with thrifty
young trees, which will in time make tho
park truly a piece of woodland. The
bnildings on the ground are comfortable
and commodious structures, erected in
modern style and with good taste. The
largest of these, a two-story frame hotel, is
situated on tho bank of the" lake, and con
tains fifty-two rooms, with a capacity for a
.large number of guests. Besides this, there
is the hotel annex, having twenty rooms,
x or assembly purposes there are the taber
nacle, with a seating room for rnoro than
2,000 people, and a pavilion, to be used for
overflow meetings. The cottages, both
thowe belonging to the association and
those of private individuals, are not
crowded together, but so scattered as to
leave good breathing spaces between. The
principal of tluso are those belonging to
the Standard Publishing Company of
Cincinnati, the Christian Woman's
Board of Missions and the Butler
University. The cottage of the lat
ter is just, approaching completion.
Tho Standard Cottage, as it is called, and of
which R. H. Waggener has charge, was
the first to be located on the grounds, and is
also the first that one meets on entering
the park. A little further ou is tho C. W.
B. M. cottage, ono of the larcest and hand
somest in the park. The Butler Univer
sity headquarters are located on a com
manding point, from which a charming
view of the surrounding country breaks
upon tho eve of the beholder. Prof. Scot
Butler, of the university, will there be in
charge. A great many of the guests, how
ever, prefer to tako touts and camp out in
the grounds, and as a result, yesterday one
might have seen canvas dots being rapidlv
located along the edge of tho hieh bank
overlooking tho lake. It was a little amus
ing to see soino of the green hands at tent
stretching, puzzling their brains in tho at
tempt to get the ropes so hitched as to se
cure the trail affair in the event of some
storm that might sweep the whole busi
iness over the bank into the water3
depths. Noticeably among these' was a
crowd of college students, who, under tho
sage oversight of an experienced professor,
devoted a c:ood part of tho afternoon to the
work of yetting their outfit in suitable
shape for "camping out."
One of the most noticeable features of
tho grounds is the admirable system of
water-works. The management has com
pleted this at an expense of some $l,fci00.
The source of it all is an inexhaustible driv
en well, from which an engine forces the
water to a reservoir on the highest part of
the park. From this reservoir are laid
pipes, and everywhere one sees hydrants
from which, by means of hose, tho grass
and flowers are kept fresh and bright. As
a consequence of this arrangement all tho
cottages are furnished with water. A num
ber of boxes, packed with ice, aro scattered
about at convenient distances, and
the jvatcr flowing through them
from the reservoir furnishes an
abundance of cold drinking water
to "the thirsty passers-by. In fact,
the management has been so careful to
meet evei v want of tbe crowds that an
nually Hock to the park that the place has
become deservedly very popular. Some
important changes aro being contemplated.
There is in view the purchase of about
seventy-two additional acres and the en
largement of the lake to three or four
times its present extent. This would neces
sitate the moving eastward of the I. k V.
track and its elevation livo or six feet
above its present level. Although yester
day was merely the opening day, yet everv
body was busy the manager constantly
buzzing to aud fro making ready for the
expected crowds of to-day and next week.
Those who know say that there were more
people on the grounds yesterday thau they
ever knew to be present before on opening
day.
The programme arranged promises to be a
very interesting one. A damper was thrown
over tho spirits of those in attendance
at the news of the death of President W. H.
Woolerv, of Bethany College, who was to
have taicen au active part in the exercises.
To-day is Children's day, and the exercises
aro to'bo conducted under tho auspices of
tho W. C. T. U. They are to consist of a
gold medal prize contest, trained children
from the various Sunday-schools of tho
State takiug part in this competition. To
morrow will be Temperance day. The
time has been set apart each year, not for
a political discussion of the question of
temperance, but for gospel temperance
meetings, in which all shades of "political
belief can freely mingle. Saturday will be
Christian Educatioual day: tho 4th, Assem
bly day; 5th. Cth and 7th. meetings of the
Ministerial Association; 8th, andUth, those
of the State M issionary Society, and 10th,

event will be a lecture on the Yellowstone
Park by 31. L. Streator, of Mon
tana. On tho 11th. Assembly day
again will occur, and Monday, Aug. 12,
is to bo Christian Union day. consisting of
a conference on the Roman Letter, led by
L. II. Jamison. Tuesday and Wednesda3,
Ulth and 14th, the Sunday-School Associa

and 10th tho Christian Woman's Board of
Missions will have its exercises. Tho 17th

park at OA'S a. m. and -1:07 or 5:35 r. M.on
Saturday leaving at U:4T P. M.
The Acton Meetings.
Services at Camp Acton continue to grow
in interest. Tho programme yebterday
opened as usual with a sunrise prayer-
meetiug, led by Key. William Tclf er, of thia
city, and it was followed at 8 o'clock by a
praver and praise-meeting, led by Rev. C.
Tinsley, of Shelbyville. Both were well
attended, and an earnestness was shown
that promises the best results. At lOo'clock
Rev. Joseph H. Smith preached his last
sermon at tho camp to a large and at
tentive congregation, and Dr. Watson
preached a very acceptable 6ennon m tho
evening. Among the notable accessions to
the ivorkrrs aro evangelists D. W. Potter
and E. F. Miller, who are expected to be
gin their labors to-day. The regular ap
pointments fsr to-day are Rev. Georgo
Murphy for tho early meeting, Rev. E. L.
Dolph for tho 8-oclock meeting, and Rev.
E. P. Brown for the 10-o'clock service. A
number of people have given testimony as
to conversion.
GREET1XGS TO THE EVANGELIST.
Dine Eibbon Club Members Give Testimony as
to Eenefits They Have Enjoyed.
There aro probably no warmer welcomes
than that accorded Francis Murphy, last
night, whon he called npon the Blue Ribbon
Club. As he entered tbe Pennsylvania
street club-room he was greeted on every
side with kindly inquiries, and as he passed
up the aisle to the platform he was kept
busy shaking hands to the right and left.
Stephen Gray, the presiding officer, made a
delightful speech welcomiug tho temper
ance evangelist, and was followed by sev
eral members of the clnb in brief testi
monies. Among those who spoke wero
James Martin. C. C. Cleavelacd, Samuel
Campbell and Dr.W. B. Fletcher. "Since the
second day of last April," said tho Doctor,
"when I met Mr. Murphy in the Union Sta
tion and put on this ribbon, I have kept the
pledge, and havo lived a pleasanter and
happier life from that moment. My eyes,
if possible, have been opened wider than
ever to the evil effect of intemperance by
my daily observation. To-night, within
two squares of this building, I know a gen
tleman who is dying from drink a man of
brilliant intellect, Avho might havo been a
leading law3er, or adorned the
bench as a judge who rninht
have been anything he applied
himself to be. Ho, has thrown his life
away through tho intoxicating cup. 1 only
wonder that in the past year I did not see
as plainly as now, and have done as I am
now doing, all in my power to stamp out
this evil habit, this greatest of all crimes; a
crime that crawls upon a man in such an
insidious manner that he does not realize it
until he is a criminal."
Clark Reynolds made a brief and touch
ing speech, telling o his reformation, and
J. faggart thanked God "for this organiza
tion, aud for brother Murphy, who had
brought gladness iuto many a household."
Johu Laugdon, who was called for, said: "I
am a young convert, but a healthy one. I
have been sober about two months, and
with the help of God intend to continue
that way. I stop and talk to saloon men
some times and they say, 'John, you
couldn't have done a better thing,' aud no
bodi' in his sober senses knows that any
better thau Johu himself."
"1 wear this blue ribbon," said Capt
Jack Wert, "with more pride than I ever
wore any emblem before. For the last four
years I simply existed; but to-day I have a
little business and a living. I have joined
this league, and it has greatly benefited
me."
"I am very glad." said Mr. Murphy, as a
murmur of satisfaction went round the
room as he arose to speak, "and I am thank
ful to come back to Indianapolis and meet
so many of my dear brethren who have
fought the good fight and are keeping the
faith : who bear such blessed testimony to
sweet joj's and happiness, and the Wealth
that comes with right living. CorrectTliv
ing is a wonderful thing. The thing is, of
course, in keeping tho pledge, but do not
fail to help the fallen brother, even seven
ty times seven times. I do not want to be
understood as indorsing tho breaking of the
fdedge, but if a man tails, brothers, help
dm up again. This is a movement to save
men, and tho sweet gospel of Jesus Christ
is that ye lovo one another. This work has
been spreading out like a beautiful tree,
aud families resting in its shade
havo been mado gloriously glad.
This movement has kept on the
high road of the gospel of Christ, and while
we havo nothing to say against other
methods, we will stick to this iuethod. We
do not want to be saved by a policeman's
club, but by a brother's hand and a broth
er's heart. This club should have a tent,
a headquarters at Acton, at our meeting."
"I'll paint the sigu," said Mr. Cleveland.
"And the ladies," continued Mr. Murphy,
"should prescut you with a silk flag. It is
time for tho women to do something for
us. We have been sober for a good while.
But we must go on with our work. Tho
fields are ripe for the harvest, and now is
the time to go in, while they are fighting
about high license, and low license, and no
licenso, aud local option. While they are
fighting we will go in and save the individ
ual. Let us continuo to pray to our Father
in heaven, not to our Legislature in Indi
anapolis." It was announced that tho temperance
camp-meeting at Acton Park, to be con
ducted by Mr. Murphy and his sons, would
be held from tho 17th to the 27th of August.
Tho committee on arrangements, consisting
of Mr. Murphy, Dr. William B. Fletcher.
Charles E. Reynolds and J. C. Shaffer, will
meet this afternoon, at 4 o'clock, at tho
office of the last named gentleman.

A Distribution of Groceries.
The contents of a dolivery wagon of II,
K. Smith, No. 41 North Delaware street,
yesterday morning, were scattered over
Walnut street, near New Jersey. There
was a wide assortment of broken bottles,
pickles, jams, jellies, fruits, jars, vegetables
and what not, that had to be picked up
and carted off. The driver of tne wagon,
lost control of his horse, which ran a square
or two at a great rate, stopping on tho side
walk and throwing the wagon against a
tree and the driver to the ground. The
horse was badly injured.

GREAT EFEXT F0U SOLDIERS.
The City Can Accommodate Readily the Crwd
Expected at the Corner-Stone Ceremonies.
The indications are that there will be an
immense crowd here on Aug. 2), the day
upon which the corner-stone of theldiers
monument will bo laid. Everybody is so
much impressed with tho idea that it will
bo by far the largest number of people
ever gathered together in Indiana that
inquiries are being received as to how In
dianapolis expects to care for the multi
tudes in the way of food and lodging after
they get hero. It is entirely safe to eay
that no citi' on earth, of anywhere near tho
size of Indianapolis, even cities of more
than double its population, have as amplo
facilities for lodging aud feeding many
thousands. The first-class hotels here, ac
cording to a calculation mado by an
experienced hotel clerk, can lodge and
feed 2,000 persons very nicely; ten first
class two-dollar-a-day houses havo an aver
age capacity of 200 each, that will care for
2,000 more persons; there are twenty smaller
hotels which can care for 150 each; that's
S,(XH, and the boarding-houses can feed and
lodge 2,-iUO in comfort. As to private houses,
nn estimate has been made, believed to be
far under the mark, that private houses
within a radius of three-quarters of a mile
of the Circle could care tor 10,000. That is
all down town. Increase the radius very
little and the private residences of this city,
it is no overestimate to say, could feed and
lodge 20.000 persons, making, with tho ho
tels, accommodations for a total of 29,000
persons.
But tho accommodations then would not
havo reached the limit. Tomlinson Hall
could bo taken, and cots placed there to
give sleeping quarters for2,000 persons. Such
things are done in cities v.-he re the national
conventions of tho great political parties
are held. Tho Board of Trade building
could lodgo 500. Mamnerchor, Lyra and
Masonic halls 1,000. There are a number ot
blocks iu tho city that could caro for many
hundreds of people, who would cheerfully
pay a fair price to sleep on a cot. There
are many thousands who would prefer to
get their meals at restaurants, and no city is
better provided with them than this. The
restaurants here will compare favorably
witk establishments of the kind anywhere
in the United States, and their prices aro
moderate. As now managed they could
feed 50,000 people a day. It takes less time to
prepare food than formerly, and as to
food supplies this city is in the center of
tho universe. Indianapolis can easily wax
eloquent over her capacity to lodgo aud
feed a great multitude; all she wauts is an
opportunity to do so.
Next week the local committee on finance
will canvass the city to raise funds for tho
decorations and other special features inci
dent to the corner-stono ceremonies. The
committee is in good spirits over the en
couragement it has received from business
sourcest and there is no doubt the contribu
tions will be commensurate with tho big
ness of the occasion. Col. Oran Perry is
organizing a mounted escort for President
Harrison to consist of 100 men. Dis
tinguished citizens from all over the
country will bo here. Special invitations
have been addressed to Governor Foraker,
of Ohio: Governor Luco, of Michigan; Gov
ernor Fifter, of Illinois, and Governor
Bnckner, of Kentucky. There is consider
able rivalry as to which section of the State
shall bring the best brass band. There aro
several noted bands in Indiana, and they
do not all hail from the largo cities, some
of the smaller county towns having excol
lenct musical organizations. The follow
ing gentlemen have been appointed a com
mittee on carriages and other local trans
portation: G. H. Shover, A. C. May, D.
J. Smock, C. W. Jenkins and M. Swan.
Tho camp-lire programme is constantly
growing iu variety and merit. . Miss Laura
McManis, the noted whistling soloist, will
appear in her novel and artistic musical
performance. The G. A. R. posts of Vigo
county will probably follow the lead of
Morton Post, No. 1, of Terre Haute, aud at
tend in a body. It is not unlikely that this
form of organization will bo adopted by
tho G. A. R. men of other counties.
MR. HALL'S BUSINESS TROURLES.
His Contracts Are Rein? Carried Out and
Yrorkmca Will Receive Their Pay.
Samuel S. Hall, the contracting builder,
it seems, could not realize on his assets just
at tho timo when money was most needed.
Those who know him, and from whom he
has held contracts, give him credit of being
a good architect, a line carpenter, and al
together a very energetic man. Trouble,
his friends say, affects him keenly, and
during the pajSt few weeks his embarrass
ments have sorely oppressed him. It was
doubted by his friends if his mind could
havo stood the strain of worry had he not
been prevailed upon to go to tho country
for a few weeks' rest His leaving the city
was not that of an absconder, and was pure
ly for rest, while his brother-in-law, Milton
A. Gregg, with a power of attorney,
gott the business in good order
again. Mr. Hall was verv successful in se
curing contracts, and as he was regarded as
a newcomer iu tho city, business opposi
tion to him became quite active. It is as
serted that from this source many rumors
aroso to prevent him from securing work.
Yesterday Mr. Gregg paid off a number of
tho workmen, and others, to whom money
was due. wero assured by owners of houses
which Mr. Hall was building that they
would stand good for tho amounts yet to be
paid. The w ork, therefore, Mr. Gregg said,
will be continued. "Mr. Hall's absence
from the city," Mr. Gregg further said, "is
not caused by his business troubles. It is
on account of ill health. As soon as he re
covers ho will return, but in the meantime
the business will bo carried on
by me. Mr. Hall's assets exceed to a
considerable extent his liabilities, which
will amount at the utmost to about $8,000.
Laborers and mechanics who, it was
charged, did not receive their wages, owing
to Mr. Hall's inability to make collections,
have had their demands satisfied, and
work on tho houses under contract is pro
gressing as usual. Mr. Hall did not col
lect any sum of money, and leave the city
without accounting for it. Wliat inoncy he
did receive, was at once paid out for mate
rial and labor."

friends have asked him to stand for re
