COLONEL LILLY DECLINES.
Other Public Interests Frevent Him from Eeing
a Candidate for the Legislature.
Colonel Lilly's declination as a candidate
for the Legislature was received recently
by Chairman Layman, of the Republican
county central committee. Tho Colonel,
under date of Mantucket, Mass., where he
is spending the summer, wrote to Mr. Lay
man os follows:
, I conilnn my telcpram of this date. I have re
ceived tbe Indlanatolis Journal rt the 20th Inst,
sent by a friend, which gave me the tirst intima
tion that iuy name was beiujr used in connection
with the legislative ticket. The same paper In
forms me of m j- nomination. I a:u bichiy sensible
of the honor plven me. but creatly regret I as not
consulted, a in that event niy nuuio would not
. have pone before the convention. As it is, I am
compelled to decline without Hppeal. A difler
ent course would oblige me to abandon other
work v't a public nature in which I would not be'
Juatincd.
The vacancy on the ticket will soon bo
filled by tho executive committee, which has
had the names of several pood citizens sub
mitted to it. Its action will be such as to
sustain that of tho convention in putting
before the people a legislative ticket of un
exceptionable worth.
Roys with Murderous Purpose.
Tiggie" Parker is what a colored lad,
nine years of ajre, who lives with bis par
ents, on Second street, ia called by his play
mates. One of them is Andrew Golden,
whose home is on Third street, near How
ard. They were playing together yester
day afternoon, wbeu'Tiggie" gave Andrew
an ugly cut in the back with a knifo. Tbev
bad a trivial quarrel and little Parker took
the cutting method of settling it. Golden's
wound was dreaded by Dr. Wilson and
after that he walked home. Another in
stance of murderous intent by a boy was
that of the cutting, in the back, of John
Harding, fifteen years of ago. Harding
lives at No. SOS Pendleton pike, and an un
known assailant used his knife on him.
A Hank Janitor Acquitted.
Benjamin Gibbs. the colored janitor at
the Dank of Commerce, was put on trial
before a Criminal Court jury yesterday,
on a charge of stealing $210 of the bank's
money some weeks ago. Tbe defense showed,
however, that tho money had been left out
of the vault through the careleaMnesa of
eome one responsible for its safety and
that Gibbs wus in uo way connected with
its loss. The jury, atter being out a short
time, returned a verdict of acquittal.

THE NOON BEST FOR GIRLS
A Place Where Eelease from Toil Can
lie Had with Best Surroundings.
Speeches from the Jlajor, Ministers and Others
Supporting the Efforts to Make the Dajs
More rieasant for Working Women.
Last evening the room in tho When Block
heretofore known as Equity Hall was, with
the ante-rooms attached to it, opened for
inspection as tho place provided by the
Young Women's Christian Temperance
Union for the noon rest for girls. These
rooms, which have been repapered and re
furnished, are brisht and attractive, whilo
their convenience of access should 6till
further commend them to those for whose
use they are designed. A large aud pleas
ant company assembled to attend the exer
cises of formally opening tho rooms to jthe
new purpose. Miss Duth, on behalf of the
Y. W. O. T. U., called Mayor Sullivan to
the chair, following a song by a quartet,
composed of Mr. and Mrs. Morrison, Mrs.
Lynn and Mr. Ketcham, and a
prayer by Key. Joseph S. Jeuckes.
"We have met here to-night," said tho
Mayor, "to inaugurate another of those en
terprises which thoughtful citizens, of In
dianapolis have instituted in order that
those who required assistance may have
it. It is proposed that the working girls of
Indiauapolis, or, rather, of this locality,,
shall have a place at which they may
really and truly rest from their labor a
rest that is something more than a mere
cessation from work. It is hoped and be
lieved that here they will acquire now en
ergy and be encouraged to go out and pur
sue with moro vigor the toil of their work
day lives. I am quite certain that there is
no one thing that will encourage them more
than the kind hearts and kind hands that
have established this rest for them."
Miss Hoy, of the Union, then briefly told
pf the work that had been dono in this citv
by the Y. W. C. T. U. since its organization.
She noted the fact that it established the
first free kindergarten here in 153 and,
the Newsboys' Home in 1SS7, which, eighteen
mouths later, was given up to or whs re
placed by Colonel Hogeland's employment
scheme. She said the idea of the noon rest
had come to the ladies from Providence, If.
I., and Detroit, Mich., where the Y. W. C.
T. U. had such rests in successful opera
tion. She further announced that the
rooms would bo open each week day from
10 a. M. to 3 p. m. and that all young ladies
who aro earning their living down town
are especially invited to come at tbe noon
hour, tables being ready for them to use for
eating luncheon, while milk, tea, coffee and
chocolate will be furnished at 3 cents a cup.
Mrs. Josephine 11. Nichols, who next
spoke, expressed her approval of the enter
prise. "Wo talk," said she. Mof the nine
teenth century as the woman's century. In
no one thing is this sfiown so much as in
tho care that women take of each other a
care that is exhibited more in America
than in any other country in the world.
Foreign women look with amazement upon
tbe close friendship that exists among
American women. There is no more beau
tiful picture than to see young women de
voting leisure to making life better to
those- who have do leisure, but who make
their own living a most honorable thing.
I know how young girls tako their lunch;
some in the cellars, eomein theattics. It will
be better for them to come here, where
they will have pleasant surroundings, as
sociates and conversation."
After music by the orchestra, Mr. Will
Daniels leader, Itev. Joseph A. Milburn ad
dressed the audience. In concluding, he
said: "I would suggest a plan whereby
you may turn your thirty minutes' recre
ation to a practical and healthful respite.
What you want is relaxation in its truest
and highest sense. Separate into groups
and read the great writers of fiction and
romance. A half hour thus spent is rest,
and it will be a wonderful expansion of
your minds. To know Walter Scott is to
comprehend a fund of information that
would make any observant reader rich.
Kenilworth is the romance of an epoch; so
is Qnentin Durward, and Old Mortality,
and Ivanhoe, aud so is almost every other
novel that he wrote. Thackeray also is an
educator. lie is the Juvenal of fiction.
Then there is Dickens, morbid be
yond a doubt, vwith a certain passion
for the garret and the gutter, yet to read
Dickens is to read yourself into sympathy
with the sweet and beautiful forces that
seek to make this world more habitable,
and beautiful, and bright. You may read
and laugh, and laugh and read yourselves
into the wisdom of the prophets."
Mrs. May Wright Sewall called attention
to woman's work as it was three score ana
ten years ago, when the women of the
household were manufacturers spinners,
weavers, dyers, as well as soap-makers and
yeast-makers, doing at home what, in later
years, came to be-dono in the factories and
wholly by men. She then noted that wom
en caino into the factories and in many
pursuits where men had provided no con
veniences for them. Sho thought tho noon
rest would bo a lesson in morality not
only for manufacturers and store-keepers,
but for the home. She said there were
many homes in this city where the com
fort and convenience of the servants were
scarcely cared for at all. In closing her re
marks she noted the progress made bv the
Woman's Club of New Orleans, which de
manded that in all shops and factories there
should bo proper places for toilet-Tooms
and for luncheon-rooms. Dr. R. C. Kelsey
made a statement of the resources of tbe
ladies engaged in the Noon Kest, which
showed that, while not opulent, the means
were, with economy, sufficient to carry it on.
Mrs. Sewall in her speech had referred to
the phrase- "Yours fraternally," which,
when a girl, she had seen signed to letters,
and had desired to use it herself, hut was
told it was not for little girls nor for
women: hut that she was glad that later on
she had been able to use the words "Yours
Sorosisly."
Rev. Dr. Josephs. Jenckes, who next spoke,
cheerfully remarked that now another term
had been added "Yours Wimodaughsisly,"
while he, as a man, was restricted to one.
The Doctor went on to say that employers
should be mado to bo moro considerate of
the girls in their employ, and that it should
bo seen to that stools were replaced behind
the counters, and the young ladies, be
allowed to sit upon them when not waiting
upon customers. "Let us," said he. "make
it disreputable for any man employing
young women to fail in properly caring for
their comfort and convenience. Let them
understand that they are dealing with
heart's blood, with nervous enegry and
life."
At the conclusion of the Doctor's remarks
refreshments were served to the audience.
Miss Duth announced that the first day of
tbe Noon Kent would be to-day, and that it
was hoped that many young ladies who
work down town would come to the Rest,
bringing their luncheons, at the noon hour,
To He Disciisl by the Lawyers.
Among the principal topics of discussion
at the meeting of the National Bar Associ
ation, which is to begin here Wednesday
of next week, will be thoso pertaining to
commercial law, banking and bankruptcy.
Through the respective delegations it is
hoped to bring about a practical unification
of the laws of tho various States on these im
portant subjects. The movement iu tho di
rection of forming an international bar
association will tako the shape of an effort
to effect union with the Association for the
Reform and Codification of the Law of Na
tions. This association was founded in
Brussels in 18To, and is international iu
character. It is thought that delegates
from the American body will bo welcomed
by it, and that its scope could be readily so
enlarged as to embrace jurisprudence gen
erally. The delegates who will come hero
from the District of Columbia Bar Associa
tion are A. H. Worthington, Ross I'errv,
W. F. Mattincly, Calderon Carlisle. II. fc.
Davis, (. E. Hamilton, C. C. Cole and J. O.

M'CORKLE'S RACE WITH OFFICERS.
It Is Made the More Spirited by the Latter
Sending Several Bullets. Atter tliin.
It was a little after 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon that Bert McCorkle, white, in
front of Hitzberger's saloon, corner of Sev
enth street and the Big Four tracks, shot
at Wm. Crosby, colored. Why he did it no
one could find out, as Crosby said he had
done "nothin1," that McCorkle wasnot drunk
and that he shot twice at hit feet as if in
fun. McCorkle, who entertained himself
by firing at Fred White, also colored, a few
days ago, did not, after the shooting, appre
ciate the funny side of it as he took
to his heels and went as fast as he could up
the track, with three policemen and a
crowd after him. About a square away
the base-ball game was going on, and the
policemen were on duty there. Within a
minute or two they were at the placo of
shooting, and in a second or two more were
in the heat of a foot-race with McCorkle.
The officers were Sergeants Clifford and
Joyce and patrolman Peter Smith. They
observed all those things that the circum
stances of a well-conducted pursuit sug
gest, and kept the Hying McCorkle down
to all the race required of him. He had no
time to spare, and when he saw he was
losing distance on the railway ties, turned
off, and, putting on an extra spurt, ran
across the bottoms. Patrolman Smith sent
a shot after him, and then Sergeant Joyce
used his revolver, both otucers taking
honest aim at tho fellow. Sergeant
Clifford made a detour with tho idea of cut
ting him oil, but McCorkle saw this move
ment and changed his course toward a
corn-field in the direction of the work
house. Patrolman Smith fired at him
again as ho was climbing tho fence about
the field, and in tbe twinkling of an eye
McCorkle was out of sight.
The officers went on, trusting to chance
to bring the fellow within their range
again, and it did, for just beyond the field
were the work-house grounds. McCorkle,
after throwing away his revolver, took
that direction, and in a short time becamo
an object of interest to Superintendent
Boono and one of the guards at the insti
tution named. They heard the reports from
the officers' revolvers, and counting
upon the nature of tho emergency,
went out with shotgun and revolver to
render assistance. Superintendent Boone -had
the shotgun, and, when tbe officers
came in sig.!it, was using it, much to Mc
Corklo's uneasiness. He tried to get out of the
work-house grounds, but witn the policemen
on the right, left and center of his rear, and
Boone and the guard in front of him, the
trap closed and McCorkle was a prisoner.
He was taken down to the Encaustic tile
works, where the patrol-wagon came and
carted him off to the station-house. Mc
Corkle is not an amiable creature, nor was
he less so when he remarked he "allowed
no nigger to hit him in tbe mouth." Ho is
naturally sulky, and was more so with the
olicemen and crowd of people about him.
ike Crosby, he said he had done"rothin"
and then resumed silence, which was more
cheerful than his talk.- He is a step-sou of
Henry Patton, the negTo who served a term
of imprisonment for marrying a white
woman, McCorkle' s mother.
BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
An Hour's Session Without the Transaction of
Business of Special Significance.
' It was 9 o'clock before the aldermon'wero
called to order last night, and for more than
an hour they transacted business without
passing any measure of particular impor
tance. The final estimate of the Western
Paving and Supply Company on the cost of
the Illinois-street asphalt pavement, at a
total of $24, 734.83, was approved. A declar
atory resolution for paving Pennsylvania
street, from Ohio to Seventh, was also
passed. The free use of Tomlinson Hall was
given to the National Association for tho
Advancement of Science which is to meet
here next month. The contract with Coun
ty Treasurer Osterman to collect the delin
quent city . taxes. as made by
Council, was approved on motion of Alder
man Laut. An ordinance to prohibit the
obstruction of sidewalks was read a second
and third time and passed. Barney Daug
crty was appointed policeman for the Blind
Asylum Bark. Joshua Farker and Robert
Bowman, both old soldiers, were granted
the free privilege of opening a mechanical
and theatrical exhibition. The proposed
Delaware-street improvement did not come
up for consideration, and the ordinance lor
paving Central avenue with brick was laid
over until the next meeting. The board
then adjourned.
' Prosecuting the Witnesses.
Tho saloon men who pleaded guilty on
charges preferred by May Gates and Annie
Wallace, before Justices of the Peace
Smock and Veibleraan, after paying their
fines, filed against the girls. Tbe affidavits
were sworn to before Justice of the Peace
Martin, of Haughville, who committed the
girls to jail last night. Tho Second ward
people are very indignant at this exhibi
tion of spite, and are roady to come to the
aid of the girls and patrolman Weirick,
who has been unremitting in his prosecu
tion of Christian and other violators of the
law.
Violated the Census Law.
Jacob Krodel, Lawrence Harder and John
S. Freibarger, farmers living near Jasper,
in Dubois county, pleaded guilty yesterday
in the federal court to violation of the cen
sus laws. They rof used to answer questions
put to them by an enumerator, and were
fined $5, with costs.

LOCAL CONDITION OF LABOR.
Matters Brought Before the Central Union
Good Reports from Various Trades.
Tho Central Labor Union, at its meeting
last night, received tbe credentials of the
following new delegates: Frank Ravens
craft, Fred Klee, Francis Crawford, coop
ers; O. H. Albro, Joseph P. Boyle, book
binders; D. L. Osbourn, paper-hangers; Ed
ward Schneider, carriage-makers; "Joseph
P. Tnrk, Joseph W. Gates, Charles Ray,
Frank Beadle, printers; Louis Har
meyer. Otto Thompson. W. D. Deery,
American Federation of Labor; August
Weiss, architectural iron-workers. Tho
election of a secretary being declared next
in order, the sharp division; resulting iu a
tie vote at the last meeting, was broken by
the withdrawal of Horn and Perkins, the
two candidates. Albert Haynes was then
elected on the second ballot. The officers
were! then installed, after which President
Gruelle announced the standing commit
tees as follows: '
Credentials Brown, Hooten, Bodenmiller,
Smith, Cowpton.
Arbitration Whit (hair-spinners). Wilson,
Gale, Foley, IIedderch.
Grievance White (Typographical Union No. 1),
Horn. Haynes, Deery. etumpf. Caldwell.
Legislation-Kennedy, Kelly, W. J. Smith,
Klingworth. Kay.
Organization Farnham, Ross, Turk, Thomp
son, Davidson.
Attention was called to the charge that ,
contractors on the new buidings of tbe In
stitutions for the Blind and Deaf and
Dumb are working their employes more
than eight hours a day. The matter was
referred to the grievance committee, with
instructions to bring the offenders. If, any,
before the grand jury. The paper-hangers
reported that two firms, one on East Wash
ington street, and another on North Penn
sylvania, aro employing non-union men.
This was referred to the proper commit
tee. A request was reported from several
musicians for help in organizing a union.
The blacksmiths also asked for. assistance
iu increasing tho number of their union
members, lu this connection, Pres
ident Gruelle said he had received
a letter from President Gompers, ask
ing that especial'" attention be shown
this branch of labor, lie urged all dele
gates to go among unorganized blacksmiths
and preacb the cause of federation. D. F.
Kennedy followed in a speech, advising
tho committee in charge of tho benevolent
institutions matter to look sharply into it,
and trust to their own investigations, lie
naid the contractors had promised to ob
serve the law, but it 6eems were not doing
so. Another delegate called attention to
the work in progress on the school-houses.
The reports on condition of trade showed
that the book-binders aro all employed, the
molders well satisfied, the coopers in ex
cellent form, and that there is work for
moro union coopers. The carriage-makers
reported this their dull season, but the
union is in good shape, and the carpenters
said they had some trouble, but most of
the men are at work. Tho cigar-makers
are all busy, and nearly all of the bakers
ro at work, ine union or the latter is
growing, niue members having been taken
in at the last meeting and nine moro are
ready to come in. The stone-cutters
said all is well with them, and that they
had received an increase of 12L2 per cent, in
wages without asking it. Other unions
made similar reports. In the generalized
report of the Labor-day picnic committee
it w as eald the tinners had voted that any
member who failed to take part in the
parade should pay a fine of 2. Other
unions were urged to show equal zeal in
making the demonstration a success. The
meeting then adjourned.
Exercises at Camp Acton.
Yesterday was foreign missionary day at
Acton Park. The audience, of course, was
much smaller in point of numbers than on
Sunday, but the services were well at
tended and elicited much interest. The
three principal services were held at 10:S0
a. M 2:30 r. m. and 8 r. m. One of tho feat
ures of the park is the singing as led by
Profes8or Nickle. Mrs. Adams Smith, who
is especially adapteo: to work with chil
dren, held a children's meeting at 4 p.m.,
and at 7 r. M. all the campers, old and
young, formed upon the green in the south
lront of the park and marched down the
principal avenue to the pavilion. To-day
will bo devoted to exercises of the Home
Missionarv Sociotv. To-morrow the regu
lar camp-meeting" exercises will begin, led
by Rev. Dr. Uolton, ot Chicago.
He Had Authority to Act.
- Tho South Bend papers speak of a man
"representing hiniself to be a deputy United
States marshal," who was in that city in
quiring about various persons who had vio
lated the census laws by failing to inform
the enumerator of their property being cov
ered by mortgage. The papers say that
these men were "forced to sign some kind
of a paper which was called a bono, for ap-
pearanco for trial," and that they are afraid
it will turn up as negotiable bank paper.
Tho gentlemen interested need have no
fear on that score, as tho person who called
upon them was Deputy United States
Marshal Mounts, who had been sent by
Marshal Dunlap to serve warrants of ar
rest.

Resignation of Dr. Ford.
Rev. J. H. Ford, D. D., who has been pas

President Elder and Secretary Johnson,
of the Board of State Charities, returned
yesterday from a trip to Wisconsin, where
they went as tho guests of that State to ex
amine some of the county asylums. They
visited those in Racine, Milwaukee. Dane,
Jetierson and Iowa counties, and were much
impressed with tho system of treatment at
these institutions of tho chronic insane.
Non-Resident Patients.
It is charged that a number of non-resi
dents have received treatment at the City
Hospital, and as a city ordinance provides
that only residents of the city shall be ad
mitted to the institution, the Council hos-
pitaL board proposes to investigate the
charge. It is 'said that the most of these
non-residents are women who are sent from
the Home of tho Friendless.
The Fresh Air Station.
The fresh air station at Fairview Park
.will be kept open until September, and only
200 more is needed to en.ible the Union to
pay all expenses of the station until that
time. The managers of the union say great
good has been accomplished at the park, in
restoring little ones to health. During the
two weeks the station has been open sixt3T
nine childreu have been cared for.

Committee on City Affairs.
The Council committee on city affairs has
devised a system of accounts for the street
commissioner's office. It provides for a
registry of streets and a division of the
city into twenty-five districts, a separate
account being required for each district
All this the committee thinks will show in
detail where and for whom repairs are
made, and upon what account money is ex

A federal election law has no terrors for
tho Nashville American. It snaps its fin
gers at the whole outht of federal laws, ana
makes a kitchen-door-mat of the federal
Constitution. It would like to see tho fed
eral government undertake to enforce a
Jaw to secure honest elections in leunessee.
Just once. Guess the federal government
wonldn t want to try it more than once.
Betcher life. Know who's talking to youf
w ell, be gahd. sab. it's tbe Nashville Amer
ican, and it eats two or three men every
morning for breakfast. Bring ou yonr fed
eral government if you want it chewed ud
and epit out of tho window.
