CIVIL-SERVICE INSPECTION.
Secretary Doyle on a 3Iisslon of Gathering
Facts to Help Along Uniform Examinations.
John T. Doyle, secretary of the national
Civil-service Commission, was in the city
yesterday on official business. He made
an inspection of the eligible register at the
postoflice in furthering steps that are to be
taken toward reaching a uniform system of
examination in all cities having classified
offices. That is the purpose of his present
trip, which includes Pittsburg. Indianapo
lis, Dcs Moines, Omaha, Denver and Kan
sas City. "The government," he
said yesterday. "imposes the oxtra and
alien duty of holding the examinations
upon certain government officials, but al
lows them no extra compensation. It has
therefore been difficult to secure uniformity,
and thus the work or the Civil-sorvice
Commission at Washington has baen in
creased. The failure to compensate en
courages individualists in methods of
holding examinations, marking the papers
and carrying oat details of that character.
When the secretaries of tho various boards
of examiners are allowed something, if not
more than $100 a vear. we hone to iret more
work out of them, and we will find it e asier
to enforce uniformity
'Do the secretaries object to the extra
workT" the reporter asked.
"Not as a rule. The boards being com-
?osed ox government othcials, and being on
he inside, see and feel so much the bene
fits of the law that they willingly perform
the extra duty. Hut the lack of compensa
tion results in laxity in enforcing the law.
and this, far oftener than willful or inten
tional violation of the civil-service rules, is
what we find and have to guard against.
As to the condition of the Indianapolis
omce. l have round nothing contrary to the
complimentary report of Mr. Koosevelt in
ApriL"
Mr. Doyle had with him a copy of
the late report of the commission
concerning appointments. In this State
ninety-four persons passed the examina
tions, and not a single appointment was
made. Out ot more than isAJ eligible in
tho whole country only seventy-five
appointments were required in the service.
In some branches, however, notably in
the stenographers' class aud in assistant-
examincrships in the ratent Office, eligi
bility is soon followed by appointment.
A Judge Appointed.
Wo. FarTell, of Paoli, was yesterday ap
pointed by the Governor judge of the For
ty-second judicial circuit in place of Judge
Collins, deceased. The circuit is composed
of Washington, Jackson and Orange coun
ties.

CLEANING UP THE CALENDAR
Tho Councilmen and Aldermen Attend
Strictly to What the City Demands.
City Attorney Taylor Sayg Railway Companies
Can Be Compelled to Build Viaducts -Hick-lin's
Fire-Hcss Contract Defeated.
COalMON" COUNCIL.
A 31etlnj of Ordinary Interest in the
Transaction of Routine Basinets.
The Common Council met in special
session last evening, tho absentees being
Messrs. Austin, Davis, Gauss, Gasper and
Sherer. The Mayor reported fines and fees
to the amount of $484.80 collected during
May.
City Attorney Taylor submitted an
opinion relative to the following question:
'Can cities compel railroad companies "who
obstruct thoroughfares by their tracks to
build riadncts or erect other suitable
structures wbich will both protect life and
facilitate travel, the entire cost of these
structures to be erected at tho
'cost of said railroad companies?'' Mr.
Taylor reviewed the xarious ordinances
tbat bad been passed from April 1, 1850, to
date, relative to railway crossings. In all
of tbem were provisions compelling the
several railway companies to guard their
tracks, and so arrange as not to prevent a
free use of the streets. He also noted an
act of the Legislature to the same effect,
which the Supremo Court nad held as
mandatory. His opinion related to ques
tions arising concerning the Virginia-avenue
tracks, and in con
clusion, he, after citing several
decisions, said: "These and a large number
of other authorities I have collected fully
sustain the views above cited; and after a
careful comparison of our statutes and
ordinances with the statutes of the various
ctates. whose courts of last resort have
passed upon this question, I am decidedly
of the opinion that the city, by mandamus
proceeding, can compel the railroad com
panies to construct, at their own expense,
across their tracks at Virginia avenue, a
Viaduct, including th AnnrnAO.hp throto.
This viaduct, owing to the presence of
rogue's run immediately adjacent to said
tracks, would necessarily be an .overhead
way, provided the railroad companies did
not choose to elevate their tracks across
said avenue. It is always a matter for the
court to determine and not the Council or
railway company, as to whether the facts
in each particular case require the building
of an overhead viaduct or of a way under
xne tracKS."
The committee on contracts reported.
recommending the awarding of a number
of contracts for street improvements, and
the report was approved. The contracts for
iue improvement or Washington street,
from Alabama to Noble street, and
ol Ohio street, from Tennessee
to East street, wera nnnroved. aa
were the cod tractors' bonds which ac
companied them. Several ordinances
providing for paving certain sidewalks
w ere read the third time, and passed.
Mr. Coy presented a petition supposed to
be from hack-drivers, asking the repeal of
the ordinance prohibiting hacks from stand
ing on asphalt pavements, and agreeing to
keep clean that part of the street occupied
by them. It was referred to the commit
tee on ordinances. A careful scrutiny
failed to discover any signatures to the
petition. A request from a committee of
the Central Labor Union for the privilege
of using Garfield Park for a picnic on Sent.
1, Labor day, was granted.
Ihe committee on public nronortv re
ported that it had visited Greenlawn Ceme
tery and fonnd about one thousand feet of
the fence in very bad condition. It was
tnereiore recommended that a thousand
feet of farm fence be purchased, and also
that the old citv sexton, lcobert Turner, bo
employed to take charge of the cemetery
ai a salary or. 53 a day.
A resolution was adopted requiring the
city commissioners to meet and assess bene
fits and damages upon the owners of prop
erty along tho proposed Fall-creek dike,
from Tennessee street to Central avenue.
The committee on streets and alleys
recommended that the petition for the
opening and extension of Wright street
to its present width of fifty feet
from Sanders street to JBirkmeyer avenue,
be granted. Declaratory resolutions, for im
proving, with broken stone, tho road way
of Delaware street, from South street to
Madison avenue, and grading and gravel
ing the sidewalk and roadway of Dorm an
street, from Michigan street to the nrst
alley south of Vermont street, were adopted.
The Board of Aldermen having substi
tuted the name of 13. Dougherty for that of
Ed Kavanaugh in the Council's resolution
appointing the latter policeman lor the
Blind Asylum Park, the matter was referred
to the committee on public property, which
was constituted a conference committee.
Ordinances were introduced opening
Alvord street from Home avenue
to Lincoln avenue and for the construc
tion of a two-and-a-half-foot brick sewer
along Indiana avenue from Tennessee to
Missouri street. A declaratory resolution
to improve Pleasant street, from Dillon to
lieod street, by bowldcnng the gutters was
adopted, alter whicu the Council ad
journed.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
The Flre-IIose Contract Defeated, Although
Democrats Tried to Save It.
The aldermen had an uninteresting cal
endar last night, and got along swimmingly
with it. No one had serious objections to
make to anything until Hicklin's contract
for fire hose came before the board for
action. The Common Council a week ago
approved what Hicklin and Olsen, the ma
jority of its fire committee, had done, and
Alderman Blackwell, backed by his Demo
cratic colleagues, wanted the board to con
cur in that action. Alderman Breunig was
willing to vote for tho contract, so far as
it provided for one hundred aud two hun
dred feet of hose for tests, but was opposed
to contracting for two thousand feet
with the Gutta-percha company. The
hose of that company appeared un
der a disguise. It was the Baker
fabric, that which agent Plumb
had tried so hard to put upon the citv un
der a new name. Alderman Blackwell did
not desire to contest that point as ho did
not deny it, but he moved a concurrence in
the action of Council. Alderman Breunig
expressed a wish to have voting on the re
port divided, but deeming that the Black
well motion to concur meant yea or nay on
the question as a whole, voted no. So did
all other Republican aldermen, while the
Democrats stood by JUackwell. lhis
caused a tie, of course, and the disapproval
of the contract. Alderman Blackwell was
somewhat nettled, and said. "Whenever
Dougherty wants hose let him come to the
Board of Aldermen for them."
"He will get all tho hose he needs." re
torted Alderman Breunig.
"And pay for them." said Alderman
Blackwell.
"Tbo city will settle the bill, though
was Alderman Brennig's parting shot.
Out of a batch of declaratory resolutions
to improve streets, those referring to South
street aud Fletcher avenuo were laid aside.
while those relating to Liberty street were
referred to the committee on streets and
alleys. The board concurred in Council's
action allowing the use of the rooms for
merly occupied by the municipal boards by
the street-paving exposition, ihe alder
men, though, did not agree with the coun
cilmen regarding their recent action ex
tending time to tho . Union Kail way Com
pany in which to prepare for building
the viaducts, iney leiuseo. to con
cur in the sixty days extention.
A motion from Council ordering tho
printing of two hundred pamphlets con
taining the rules and other like informa
tion concerning the councilmen and alder
men was approved, rresiunnt inaiman
suggested that this would be a good timo
for the committee on rules to get together
and revise the list. Ihe Democrats took
alarm and Alderman Laut moved to lay tho
whole matter on the table. He and his
p&rtv associates have heretofore bolted all
meetings when it was likely anything like
rules was to ue consiuereu. iney want no
revision, but their motion to lay on tho
table was lost.
The general appropriation ordinance was
passed. Under aupaeminn of tho rules, tho
building ordinance, recommended by the
architects of the city, the provisions ox
which aro already familiar to the public,
was read the second and third times, and
passed. So, also, was the ordinance pro
viding that any property-owner may put
a fence not to exceed twelve inches hign
around a grass plot on boulevarded side
walks. A fine of $.0 is to bo intiicted for
any willful interference '.wjth ; this protec
tion. A large number of street-improvement or
dinances were passed under suspension of
the rnles, among them the following: Pav
ing Illinois street with asphalt from Wash
ington to New York street; paving Ohio
street with asphalt from Tennessee to Mis
sissippi street: paving Mississippi street
with asphalt from Washington
to Ohio street; paving Massachu
setts avenue with asphalt from
Pennsylvania street to the Lake Erie
&. Western tracks: paving Pennsylvania
street with asphalt from Exposition ave
nue to Fifteenth street; paviug Tennessee
street with asphalt from Washington to
Ohio street; paving Clifford avenuowith
asphalt from tho O., I. fc W. tracks to the
west line of Woodruff Place.
The ordinanco providing that certain
city officials be paid semi-monthly instead
of monthly was favorably reported from
the judiciary committee and passed. The
declaratory resolution providing for pav
ing Pennsylvania street, from Ohio to Sev
enth streot, was favorably reported from
the committee on streets and alleys and
adopted.
A resolution of respect to the memory of
Joseph T. Magner. city clerk of Indianap
olis from 1870 to 18S3, and who died May Si,
was adopted.
Mr. Breunig moved that the superintend
ent of police be requested to . enforce the
ordinanco prohibiting sprinklers from
sprinkling street crossings. The motion
was earned. AnothermotionbyMr. Breunig
that the fire department be authorized to
purchase 200 feet of hose, was ruled out of
order by President Thalman. A resolution
was adopted that the chief of the fire
department instruct the firemen to do no
more outside work for pay.
The matter of annexing certain unplat
ted territory east of the city was reported
favorably from the committeo on streets
and alleys, and the report was concurred
in by a vote of 7 to 2. Some discussion
ensued as to whether the descriptions of the
property to be annexed were complete, and
the final proposition was lost by a tie vote
5 to 5. The board thereupon adjourned.

GOSPEL TEMPERANCE.
Evangelist Doutney Outlines Work to Be Done,
and Then Gives an Effective Address.
Thomas Doutney and wife held their sec
ond gospel temperance meeting last night
at Masonic Hall, which was well filled on
floor and platform by friends and promot
ers of the cause. Mrs. Doutney presided at
the organ and a mixed choir led in the
singing. The clear, ringing tones of Mr.
Doutney were frequently thrown in to
rouse the audienco to sing with
greater spirit' and volume. He threw
a great aeai or energy into
the meeting, and made friends of all by
his earnest and unpretending style. Mr.
Doutney outlined the week's work. There
will be a meeting every night, and on Sat
urday, at 2 o'clock, a meeting for children
will begin. The leader exhorted the ladies
present to lend every effort to pack the
hall, and to provide a luncheon of cake and
lemonade. He wants children of all
classes, the rich and the poor, and in
tends to have a programme which will
not fail to interest them. He wants every
child who can write, or learn a short tem
perance speech, to conn prepared to recite
it from memory. To each boy and girl
who makes tho best speech, 81 will
he given: to the second best speech
from boy and girl, each a photograph of
Mr. Doutney and wife. A reward will also
be given to the third speaker. There will
oe various tesxs, experiments, ana an at
tractive programme of music. A great deal
of zeal accompanied the announcement
of this meeting. Boys aud girls
of all classes are invited to be present.
iSext Sunday afternoon Mr. Doutney will
attack the enemy where found the thickest
in the publio suburban gardens. . .
After Mrs. Doutney sang, with telling ef
fect, the old eong. "Mrs. Loftv and I"
her husband began his regular address.
which was interspersed with bright, spicy
and perhaps at times unattractive digres
sions strung on a gospel temperance thread.
ihe digressions sometimes ooscured the
thread, but wero not without ellect. The ;
speaker made what he called a prac
tical talk. He warned any who
have a thirst for drink never
to taste extract of Jamaica ginger. There
is no water in this liquid, and anyone who
must, in defiance of the advice of God and
man, indulge in liquors, had better take
tho poorest whisky than the fiery Jamaica.
lie urged that the debauchee should be
given food when reclaiming him. and ex
pressed his ability to bring anyone out of a
drunken spree in twenty -four hours. He in
sisted that such a one should be treated
with the most considerate kindness.
Ho told Gough's story of the
coachmen seeking employment, who
were asked how near they could drive to
tl i edge of a precipice. The one who
it old not risk tho danger at all was era-
Bjyed. In the narration Mr.
outney showed himself a capital
actor as well as an ' orator. Ho
closed by reciting a few verses of poetry
composed by himself soon after his conver
sion, lhey smoothly and eloquently told
the story of his downfall and destruction.
His address was frequently intsrupted by
applanre. A large number of young men
were induced to sign the pledge, lo-nicht
Mr. Doutney will tell the story of his own
life and conversion.
ORPHAN ASYLUM RECEPTION.
Its Mrnacers Show Friends What Industry
ant. Contributions Have Accomplished.
The. board of managers of the Indianapo
lis Orphans' Asylum were "at home71 yes
terday from 4 till 9 o'clock at the institu
tion to receive their friends. The -whole
building was thrown open for the inspec
tion of visitors, and especially was it do-
sired that every one should see the new
part, which has just been completed. Tho
addition is of three stories, the lower floor
being used for the laundry. The second
floor is used tor a bath-room and on
the upper floor is the sewing-room.
The building and furnishing of the
new part, together with some necessary
grading and paving, cost $5,G00, and all but
$200 is paid. The other departments of the
asylum the school-rooms, sleeping-rooms,
play-rooms, kitchen, dining-room, infirm
ary and nursory were also open. In fact,
the visitors were free to wander where
they would. The children enjoyed the
company quite as much as the company en
joyed the children, and were not slow to
show their accomplishments, and little
Tommy Crandall was in constant demand.
Ho was rewarded for his songs and recita
tions with numerous nickels and when he
returned to his mates and showed them
his reward they all wanted to "speak."
At the left of the staircase are tho par
lor and matron's room. These have been
furnished entirely by donations of furn
iture, and besides much of the building
is filled with contributions of generous
friends. The expenses of the beds for the
babies are borne by citizens, who pay $25 a
year for each bed. They are dainty all airs,
painted white, and their suowy linen and
canopies might well be imitated for little
ones in homes where hundreds are not as
comfortable as these waifs. The name of
the donor for each bed appears in a tablet
on the wall over the bed. Some of these
tablets are in memory of little children,
and others are given by children. The
old college building, at the corner of Col
lege and Home avenues, that is used for the
asylum, was bought in 1871), and the ladies,
by their industry and good manage
ment, and tho contributions of citi
zens, have it all .paid for but
$3,000. This debt is being rapidly reduced
by leading citizens who become honorary
members and nav S5 yearly.
Tho managers aro well pleased with what
thev have accomplished. They received
the guests and escorted them over the
building, pointing out the various depart
ments . and Improvements. Zumpfe's or
chestra furnished a programme of excellent
music, and lemonsde was served by the
voung daughters of the managers through
1, out the afternoon and evening.
SEARCHING FOR THE PACTS
The Treatment Mrs. Miller Received at
the Central Hospital for the Insane.
Sho Was Forcibly Patina Room lut the Bruises
cn Her Face .Not Reported as They
Should Hare Been.
The examination of the case of alleged ill
treatment of Mrs. Elizabeth Miller, until
recently a patient of the Central Hospital
for the Insane, camf up yesterday. It took
place at the hospital, and among those pres
ent were Alex. Johnson, secretary of the
Board of State Charities; Kev. O. C. McCul
loch: Albert Beck, who appeared as attor
ney for the hospital board, and Captain
Eli F. Kitter, who acted as attor
ney for the relatives of the abused
patient in the investigation. Witnesses
were examined, including attend
ants, supervisors and physicians, who
made their statements regarding Mrs. Mil
ler, who was a patient from Moore's Hill, in
Dearborn county. Her father is a stock
raiser, and she, a widow, is a lady of refine
ment and culture. It was brought out in
evidence that on the 25th of May the at
tendants had some trouble with the patient;
that she was a little stubborn and
was making, as the attendants claimed,
some excitement among other patients in
tho ward where she was. These attend
ants, Miss Christy and Miss Cain, asked
Mrs. Adams, the physician in charge of the
ward, for permission to lock her up. The
permission was granted, and tho attend
ants, as they testified, took hold of her by
the arm and at the back of the neck by tho
dress and pushed her into the room and
locked the door upon her. These two at
tendants testified that sho had no bruises
on her face or person when she camo to
their ward on the 23d inst., two days be
fore this occasion. They testified that
they did not strike her and did not use any
violence or force except what was neces
sary to put her into the room.
Ihe rules of the institution require that
all occurrences of the kind, or of violent
acts upon the part of the patient which ne
cessitates the use of force shall be reported
in writing each day by the attendants to
the supervisor, and by the latter to the su
perintendent. This case was not reported
to Superintendent Wright, ihe super
visor of another division called attention
of the attendants to the fact that Mrs. Mil
ler had a black eye and some bruises next
day alter the scuttle, aud that they spoke
to Mrs. Dr. Adams about it. Dr. Adams
and the attendants say tbat the reason
they did not report the case was because
they did not know where the injuries had
been received, whether in that division or
in the one from whioh she came ou the 23d
of May.
Superintendent Wright was passing
through tho ward on the 25th of May, and
Mrs. Miller spoke to him about it. He
called on the attendants to know what
they knew about it, and they claimed to
know nothing at all. He examined Mrs.
Miller casually. At that time she bad a
bruise on her left cheek and a black mark
under her right eve. When Superintend
ent Wright examined her he found bruises
on her face, some on her breast and in the
region of the stomach just below the breast
bone, ihe doctors at the institution, wno
examined her afterwards, say there were
eighteen bruises on her person, some of
which were slight.
Mr. Becket. a lawyer of this city, brother
of Mrs. Miller, had visited hid sister since
December last five times. Ho went out
there ou Monday after the scuttle and asked
to see his sister. Mrs. Dr. Adams told him
she thought it best that he should not see
her, as it would "excite her," and he was
compelled to go away without seeing her.
He wrote to his parents that be had been
refused, and on last Saturday, one week
apo. his mother came to this city. Mr.
Becket and his mother went out to tho
hospital on the same day, and found
Mrs. Miller out on the grounds. Sho
recognized them and they noticed
the bruises on her face which looked as
thonch they had been inflicted with fists.
Mr. Becket, without asking his sister.
went to. tho attendant, Miss Christy, and
asked what she knew about it. Miss
Christy told him she did not know any
thing about it, that tho bruises were on her
face when she came into her ward, lie
then asked his sister about it and she told
him and his mother that the attendants
had seized her. thrown her upon the floor,
had beaten and shaken her and had tried
to smother her when she screamed. Mrs.
Miller then pointed out Miss Christy as
the one who did tho principal part of it.
Mrs. Miller is very intelligent And would
not appear to the casual observer to be
insane until one of her delusions is touched
upon. Mr. itcckct and his mother called
upon Dr. Wright and asked that the
Eatient be released, as they wished to take
er home, but she was not released that
day. The next Sunday they went out
again, accompanied by Capt. Eli F. Kitter,
and Dr. Wright consented to her discharge.
They brought her to the city and Dr. Henry
Jameson mado an examination ot the
patieut and found wounds upon her faco
and breast This last examination took
place on June 6.
Superintendent Wright desired the in
vestigation to proceed to the fullest extent
and sr ems to have been kept in the dark
regarding her injuries. Mrs. Miller is now
at her father's in Dearborn county. Dr.
Wright has heretofore been prompt to dis
charge attendants for cruelty, and that is
given as the reason that this case was not
reported to him by the attendants or by
the physician. The persons who made the
investigation aro to make a formal report.

made its first appearance in 'A Mexican
Romance" at the Park Theater yesterday
afternoon and will fill a week's engage
ment. The drama, which was written by
Mr. Cowper, possesses some dramatic merit
and is withal rather a pleasing production.
While it is based upon conventional lines
the leading characters are strong and the
plot is developed in an interesting man
ner. Mr. Cowper displays considerable
force in the duel parts of Andre Brand and
Victor, aud Mr. Hatch is equally good as
Manuel Saban. the villain.
JPretty Good Evidence.
We have had the New Perfection Refrigerator
on sale four years, and it has proved a success.
Having sold Mr. Sherman seveu of the largest
size during that time for his different restaurants,
we consider further references unnecessary, but

The Rapid Ice-cream Freezer is also yet on top
at reduced prices. Lawn mowers, screen doors,
window screens and wire at lowest prices. Call
before you buy. IIildkbraxd fe Fcgati,

CUT DOWN YOUR ICE BILL.

patrons a refrigerator that we could recommend In
all respects, and we have now succeeded. TBS
Challenge iciBEBO." It is called, and it isas nearly
perfect as refrigerator can be built Tne dry -air
principle of It Is correct; it uses less ice, and keeps
food colder and better than anything in the market;
it has a. perfect lock, whicu Is an important feature:
and, in all respects, we can conscientiously say that
the "Challenge Iceberg Refrigerator" is a paragon ot
Serfection. CaU or send for circular. WM. H.

THE SEASON OF FLOWERS.
' Says a recent fashion letter: As to the flower
Jewelry In colored enamel, one can only say thai It Is
as fashionable as ever and even more exquisite in
form and coloring than when It first appeared. The
favorite ornament Is undoubtedly the pin, and there
Is scarcely a blossom which may not somehow be
utilized in this way. for If too small in itself it ran be
used In a cluster, like the forget-menot and arbutas;
or the single flower will be eked out by the addition
of leaves and long, curved stem.
Oome see this kind of jewelry at

FOR Hotels, Boarding-Houses and Restaurants, on account of uni
formity in slicing, BRYCE'S CREAM BREAD, vulgarly called
"Hokey-Pokey," is the best kind to use. It is also better kneaded and
more uniform in texture, than hand-made bread.
