The Local Board of Trade Joins That of De
troit in Asiin? for a Repeal of the Law.
At tho meeting of the Board of Trade,
yesterday noon. President Tanner read the
petition to Congress issued by tho Detroit
Board of Trade. This petition asks that
tho interstate-commerce law be repealed,
the concluding paragraph being to the ef
fect that the channels of trade sh aid be
left untrammeled, and that commercial in
terests should be unrestricted and allowed
to flow as freely as water wherever the nat
ural law of supply and demand will dictate
or permit The petition further 6ets forth
that sue li was not the case by reason of the
barriers built up under the present stat
utory provisions.
Mr. W. V. H. McCurdy moved that a
committee of rive be appointed to tahe
action upon tho matter. The motion vr
vailed, aud the chair appointed as tb om
mittee Win. W. II. McCurdy, (ieo. E. Tjwn-
ley. t red liaggs, Geo. L. oodford and Geo.
T. B recount.
The committee retired, and, after consult
ation, submitted a memorial asking for a
repeal of the law, addressed to Congress,
in which the following was expressed:
Tnls law was passed for the purpose of so con
trolling the operations of the railroads and
freight line of the country as to give to shippers
and travelers Just and equal rates of transpor
tation, and preventing all unjust discrimination
against or In favor of persons nnd localities.
lholiiwhaslK.cn in force and operation now
cearly three years, and has not, in our opinion,
inxluced the results anticipated and desired,
ut, on the contrary, has brought Injury and
disaster to many branches of business. Which,
under the old regime of competition, were pros
perous. We have seen the grain trade of In
dianapolis, once of large proportions and opu
lent with promise for the future, dried up to a
thin stream under the malign influence of the
law; the botne markets of the West destroyed in
the intercut of tLosoof the eealoard cities; and
the producers of tt& Mississippi valley brought
almost to the verge of beggary by the deprecia
tion of prices resulting largely from the notion
of railroads and freight Hue operating In strict
Obedience to its provisions.
it has income un instrument of oppression to
the people. It build tin some localities at the
expense of others. In the Held of its operation
It abrogates tho law of supply and demand, cuts
off the free flow of commerce In one channel by
its artlt'.ci.il barriers and forces it in another in
stead of leaving it free to How according to
natural laws directed by the enterprise and in
telligence of the people.
After the memorial was adopted it was
moved and carried that copies of it be sent
to the secretary of the Board of Trade of
Detroit and to Indiana. Senators and Kep
resentativea in Congress.

The 3Iidwinter Class Entertains a Largo
Audience with Essays and Orations.
Ideas of the Younsr GraIaatcs on a Variety of
Well-Selected Topics Which Are Creditably
Treated The Conferring of Diplomas.
That the people of Indianapolis aro in
terested in the High-school was sufficiently
indicated by tho attendance of at least
2,500 people last evening, at Tomlinson
Hall. The occasion was the twenty-second
commencement of that school, and twenty
eight graduates were upon the stage. Of
course, with such a class as this, only a few
of thenumhercouldspeak. Nine were, there
fore, selected as representatives of the
class. Three of these were chosen by rea
son of their scholarship, three were elected
by the class and three chosen hy tho teach
ers of tho school. Of the twentv-eicht
graduates only nino were boys, which
would indicato that the education of the
sexes is unequal.
Of these Isidore Feiblcman, as the pupil
having the highest scholarship for the en
tire course, received the honor scholarship
given by the Indiana State" University to
the best scholar of the January class;
Frank II. Keller stood second in rank,
while Alice 31. Bay, William P. Cleary,
Buruhara C. Dale and Anna II. Spann com
pleted the course in three and a half j'ears.
The other graduates were Edith Beck,
Anna Brockhausen, Marion L. Brown.
Maud K. Buck, B. E. Cody, Phcebo J.
Cohn, Charles Conant, Ada Conner, Minnio
Gertrude Denny, George Gregg, Linnie
Higgs, Kita B. Jefters. Anna F. Kelloy,
Edna McUilliard, George Thomas Moore,
jr., Corneille Mount. Annabella Schley,
Georgealico tichley, Lilly Solomon,
India Stubbs, Nellie D. Tilford.
Flora E. Torrence. The exercises, alter
music by Miller's orchestra, opened with
prayer by Bev. Dr. Cleveland, after which
catue un oration "An Experiment in Social
ism," by Frauk Keller. After an explana
tion as to what socialism is and should be,
he described the co-operative system, be
gun at Kochdale, England, in 1S44, by forty
workingmen, with a capital of 23. This
was successfully carried on, thestore-huuso
being couducted both as a purchasing
agency and a savings bank.
'Women in Science" was an essay by
Alice M. Bay, who showed what had been
done by Mary Somerville, Caroline llerschcl
and Maria Mitchell in astronomical discov
ery; by Anna Jenness Miller in dress re
form, and by auumberof women in medical
art. The fair essayist asserted that Austria
alone of all civilized countries yet denied
to women tho right to practice tho heal
ing art.
Will iam P. Cleary delivered an oration,
"An Ill-governed Nation," in which ho
showed the wrongs done Ireland by Eng
land for Eeveral hundred years to be tho
chief factor in ettecting the ruin of tho
Green Isle. It was through penal codes so
cruelly unjust as to thoroughly demoralize
the people, that this great wrong was in
flicted. The young orator evidently struck
a popular chord for ho was enthusiastically
applauded.
Anna Brockhausen read an essay on
"The Duty of Sneaking Correctly."
Her reading was admirable, her enun
ciation perfect. The subject was treated
in wcll-choseu, vigorous English, and
tho essayist insisted upon the great value
of pure and correct language. She was of
opinion that a parent should speak correct
ly if only for his child's sake, but that
every one should consider it bis duty to
speak correctly for his country's sake.
She maintained that tho individual char
acter of citizens and the progress of tho
Nation will be determined largely by the
language employed by the peoplo to lit
their individual needs.
Edna McGilliard recited a poem "A Le
gend of Indianapolis," which was a pleas
ant parody of Hiawatha, the hero being
Indinos, a denizen of the forest primeval,
who gavo his name to the city of tho white
man.
Annabella Schley told the storv of
ancient "Craft Guilds," aud 6howed what
they had done for craftsmen iu past ages.
She spoke of modern guilds as now exem
plified m the Knights of Labor and various
trades-unions and confederations, and said
they now exist iu every civilized nation.
"America's Land Question" was tho sub
ject of the oration of George Thomas Moore,
jr., who spoke of the millions of acres that
had been given away to railroad corpora
tions. Tho time was near at hand, ho said,
when there would be no more 'land, and
this, too, with a population doubling every
twenty-tive years. He favored the restric
tion of emigration to prevent the danger
ous classes of Europe from entering our
American ports, and hoped the remaining
acres would be carefully saved
for actual settlers, and not sold
to cattle kings or be allowed
to pass into the hands of aliens. He wished
not for tho Uuited States to be known as
the homo of nations, but the nation of
homes.
Anna II. Spann had a bright and eome
whst satirical essay on "What Shall I Do
to be Known Forever!" in which she showed
the great American desire for notoriety as
illustrated in the base-ball field, by pugil
ists, and in various other pursuits.
"The Citizen Soldier" was the subject
chosen by Isidore Feibleraan for his ora
tion. In this he contrasted Europe, with
her standing armies, aggregating millions
of men, with the United States, the great
republic, enjoying all the blessings that
can bo vouchsafed to humanity with an
insignificant standing army of ,(XX), aud
yet secure in tho patriotism of her citizens.
At the conclusion of this oration Prof.
Grant, principal of the High-school, made
a few remarks, pleasantly bidding the
graduates farewell as pupils. Mr. Green
Street, on behalf of tho School Board, then
I resented the honor dip oina to Isadore
'eibleman and the school diplomas to the
other pupils, after which Dr. Cleveland
pronounced the benediction.
SOUTH-SIDE IMPROVEMENT.
Street Paving Discussed by Property-Hollers
at Columbia Hall Mr. Gans3 Rebated.
A meeting of the property-holders on
South Delaware street and Madison avenue,
to consider the improvement of those thor
oughfares, was held at Columbia Hall, cor
ner cf Delaware and McCarty streets, last
evening. Edward H. Dean presided and
Max P. Koeckert acted as secretary. There
was a largo attendance and much interest
was manifested. After a full discussion, a
committee to ascertain the sentiment of the
property-holders regarding street improve
ment and the kind of streets to be con
structed, was appointed. This committee
consists of Peter Zimmer, August Kuhn,
Theodore Sander, Fred HefTer, James Red
fern and Peter Morbach. They will rnako
a systematic canvass of the citizens of the
neighborhood named nnd ascertain the
feelings of each as to tho advisability of
constructing new streets, and the kind of
material to be used in such work. The
territory which it is proposed to improve
comprises Delaware street and Madison
avenue from South street to the J., M. A- 1.
tracks. Gen. John Coburn and a number
of others spoke in hearty approval of the
proposed movement. Some were opposed
to tne work being undertaken before abet
ter sewerage system is secured, but a
greater number seemed to favor new
street paving at once. Councilman
Gauss, of the Twenty-fourth ward, was
present and made a partisan Democratic
speech, for which he was promptly rebuked,
by another attendant of tho meeting, which
action of the latter was warmly applauded.
Another meeting will be held on Feb. 19,
at which the committee mentioned will re
port the result of its investigations.
Drills for the Policemen.
The Police Commissiouershave instituted
a system of weekly drill exercises of the
force, the first of which will bo hold at
Tomlinson Hall at 2 o'clock this afternoon,
witn Captain Robert Campbell in charge.
Only the men on night duty will

ularly put through the exercises. No ex-
cuses ior non-atieuuanco on tne uruis save
Ktrkne.H.4 and nrepnr it rnnrt will lift r.
cepted. It is desired to hereafter hold the
drills on Wednesday of each week when
lomlinson Hall is uot in use upou that day.
AFTER TWENTY. YEARS.
A First Husband Appears, When His Fresence
Interferes with His Wife's Suit.
Thero has been pending in Judge Howe's
room of the Superior Court, for some time,
a suit through which Mrs. Margaret Von
der Gotten is seeking to have her title to
property left by her husband quieted.
The defendants (the Georges) are eeveral,
and they claim an interest iu tho property
as heirs of Von der Gotten. No great amount
is involvedonly $2,000, but the heirs, tho
majority of whom live in Germany, are
putting as much spirit in their defense as
if they were to divide many thousand dol
lars between them. Mrs. Von der Gotten
entered upon this litigation as a widow for
the third time, bheivas first married in Cin
cinnati to Herman Schmitt, and soon after
that event the two came to Indianapolis.
They did not prosper hero and Schmitt,
with a view of bettering his fortunes, went
to Chicago. That was twenty-two years
ago, and not very long after the marriage.
Mrs. Schmitt waited long for word to como
from her husband, but she received none
directly or indirectly. When twelye years
had elapsed and Schmitt's whereabouts
were still unknown the wife began to think
he was dead, a belief that became convic
tion on her being told ouo day that her
husband had been killed in a railroad acci
dent. A day or so later further confirma
tion of that statement came in a news
paper paragraph purporting to give an
account of the accident.
At this time Mrs. Schmitt was living in
Columbus, this State, where a man named
Fisher paid her court and married her.
when the death of Schmitt seemed to lack
no further proof. In the course of years
Fisher died and in due time Mrs.'Iisher
became Mrs. Von der Gotten. It was only
through her last marriage that she became
the possessor of property, and tho title
to this she wants made perfect. But
the German heirs of Von der Gotten
possessed clews for investigation of which
the widow knew nothing. It was through
their attorneys, Davis and Martz, that Car
son and Thompson, attorneys of Mrs. Von
der Gotten, learned that Schmitt, the first
husband, was living in Minnesota. This
gave the claims of tho widow a serious
back-set. but a cause is not lost until proof
positive is furnished; so to secure thisproof
representatives of both law firms went to
St. Paul to establish the whereabouts of
Schmitt. The case was called before
Judge Howe yesterday afternoon for some
intervening motjon or other and during
tho progress of the talk thereon a
man came into the court-room and
announced himself to tho attorneys inter
ested in the suit as Herman Schmitt, the
first and only husband of Mrs. Von der Got
ten. This information was soon conve3ed
to.the court, and proceedings for the day in
that suit stopped. In the meantime tho
representatives of the lawyers seeking for
Schmitt at St. Paul were telegraphed to
come home, as their man is here.
Schmitt has no especial reason to give for
tho silence of twenty-two years con
cerning his movements. Ho went to Chi
cago on leaving this city in 1SC8. remaining
there a year. Chicago did not suit him, so
he went to St. Louis, where another
year was spout. That city, too, did not of
fer him tho opportunities he was seeking,
so ho turned his line of travel into Minne
sota. There, in time, he became one of a
purveying party on the Northern Pacific
Railroad. After that ho returned to Min
nesota, living principally in and around St.
Paul. He had no desire, it seems, to let his
friends know what he was doing, so no let
ters were Kent to them, not even to his own
brother, who is in business hero on Mary
land street. Tho brother was as much sur
prised as tho attorney when Schmitt camo
to him yesterday and proved his identity.
It is thought, though, that since the suit
began the George family learned of
Schmttt's existence, and communicated
what facts they possessed to theirattorucys.
MR. SHAFFER NOT AMIABLE.
He Has No Information to Give Relative to
His Proposed Electric Railway Lines.
President Shaffer, of the Citizens' Street
railroad Company, is not disposed to give
to the public, at this time, information
concerning the proposed electric lines for
which his company has a franchise. Tho
special ordinance conferring a charter for
these lines was passed by tho Council
on Dec. 18, and otliclally accept
ed by tho street-railroad company
on Jan. 4, yet nothing, apparently,
ha3 been dono toward introducing elec
tricity. A reporter called on Mr. Shaffer
yesterday to ascertain, if possible, what
the company proposes doing in the matter.
Being denied admission to that oUieial's
ollice, ho awaited his pleasure on the out
side. When Mr. Shatter appeared he did
not seem to bo in a pleasant frame of mind,
but the object of the call was made known.
"I have nothing to say on the subject,"
curtly responded that gentleman.
"The public naturally feels a deep inter
est in the matter. Mr. Shaffer," tho reporter
ventured, "and it would appear that they
are entitled to some information on the sub
ject." "I told you, sir, that I have nothing to
say about tho matter," was the angry re
tort. "When I have anything for tho pub
lic I will make it known."
Thus ended the interview.

Another Loan Effected.
The Council finance committee, yester
day, awarded $25,000 of the $75,000 author
ized by the present Council at its first
meeting. The first loan made, it will be re
membered, was for $05,000, to carry on the
city government until Feb. 1. The present
loan is expected to meet demands until
March 1, when it is thought the taxes will
be suliicient to continue the city govern
ment without further loans. Tho bills upon
the S25.OD0 borrowed were as follows: In
dianapolis National, 54 per cent.; S. A.
Fletcher & Co., 5 per cent, and to pay to
city $10 as a premium; Meridian National
Bahk,4s4 per cent; Merchants'Natioual,4I2
aud $5 premium. The award was made to
the last-named bank. This leaves but $15,
000 to borrow, and the committee think they
can get along without it,

AMUSEMENTS.
THE 1IIGGINS CONXERT.
The Indianapolis Lecture Course has a
generous patronage and last night, at Ply
mouth Church, thero was not a vacant seat
to bo had at the concort of the Charles P.
Higgins Company. " Tho company includes
live of as capablo artists as have appeared
before nu Indianapolis audience. Mr.
CharlcsT. Higgins, the leading star, is a
mere boy in appearance, but he handles ' i
bow like an Olo 13 oil, and his playing was 1 liv
ened to thatof the great violinist. Ho draws
a pure and sweet touo from his instru
ment and gives it that sympathetic
quality that appeals to tho heart, as well
as the ear. He played the famous 'Ballade
et Polonaise' of Vieuxtenips with a breadth
and depth of expression that brought out
f a a ? a -
every beauty or tne eraua composition.
Tho Italian Love Song' and the Hun
garian Dance by Paganini, of an entirely
different character, were hue examples of
his wonderful technical power and caused
great applause. Mr. Higgins was recalled
again and asain, and was very kind to re
spond to the desire of tho people. Mr.
John Francis Gilder, the pianist, has
perfect command of tho keys,
and executed to perfection Gotts
chalk's Tremolo Etude and 'Planta
tion Echoes" of his own composition. His
part in the several concerted numbers also
won tho evidout admiration of all. Miss
Lnla Bardcu was tho elocutionist of the
company, and read remarkably well, her
numbers being of a pleasing variety. She
moved tho audience at will with her humor
ous and pathetic sketches. Her delinea
tions won for her recalls every time. Mr.
II. Cornelius, the well-known clarionetist,
is one of the company, and that sweet
toned instrument, the clarionet, under
his cultivated manipulations became
a thing of life. Mr. Harry A. Higgins was
formerly cornetist of Gilmoro'a famous
band, and this is in itself a sufficient guar
antee of his musical talents, lie has been
heard here before, and the good impression
he made at that time was greatly increased
last night in bis playing ot "The Fantasie
Hrilliaute," by Aubon, and tho "Concert
Polka," by 11 art man. The programme of

THE M.ENNERCIIOR CONCERT.
The third concert of the season given by
the Muennerchor Society was held last
night, at its hall on East Washington
6 tree t. A large audience listened to a very
enjoyable programme that was well ren
dered. The mixed choruses, "Aus den
Rarawauken," by Koschat, and "There Is
Music on the River," by Pinsnti, were
given with tine expression, and these, with
two overtures hy the orchestra, constituted
the concerted numbers. To Prof. Barns,
whose figure, waving the baton, is a famil
iar one to Indianapolis musicians, is due
the excellent training which tho
members of this society receive.
The solo nnmbers were all good,
and met with well-merited applause.
Miss Jenetta Barus, daughter of tho Pro
fessor, played the concerto iu P, by Von
Weber, very brilliantly, and a violin fan
tasie, "Lneretia Borgia." was given by Mr.
Arthur O'Neil, of tho DePauw School of
Music, with very fine technique and ex
pression. Miss Lena Hodler sang a soprano
solo, an ana from "sounambula." and was
warmly received. Mr. Steinhilber, tho
favorite basso, pang an aria from the "Cie
ation" in his usual good style, and the
whole programme was good from beginning
to end. After tho music dancing was in
dulged in, as is customary, till a late hour.
