bTATfi AMI-LIQUOR LEAGUE.
Conference of the Liecativc Committee and
ilembers Held Yesterday.
The executive committee of the Anti
liquor League of tbia State, with soma
advisory members, met yesterday morning
at the Y. M. C. A. The purpose waa to call
In the advisory members and consult on
She committee's work. Inquiries from over
the State have piled up until the com
mittee has found the leauo Work a "white
elephant" on its hands. Nothing wasdono
at the morninu session except the hearing
of committee reports. Tt was decided in
the afternoon to put an active worker in
the field to organize counties wherever
great interest is shown in t ho work. The
leading topic of theday was the question as
to the most expedient way of raising the
money required to do the work of the
league. All the members of tho executive
committee are busy persons and have not
tho tiiuo to devote to the work individual
ly which its successful treatment demands.
Of course tho funds acquired by tho pay
ment of the annual inembersnip fees are
available. Thero are a number of wealthy
xnn in the titato who have guaranteed cer
tain sums ranging from 100 to $500 lor the
support of the work if it is found necessary.
While tho league takes to itself a politi
cal caste, it is nonpartisan, and has for its
object the opposition of the Licensed Saloon
keepers' League any and everywhere.
The former considers the latter the root of
all evil, and means to counteract it polit
ical schemes by Torcing political parties to
place upon their tickets good men who will
not be subsidized or influenced br the evil
ones. It means to suggest to all parties
when it oomes to making up slates, and. as
it itself will constat of men of all political
faiths, the executive committee holds that
their course cannot prove inconsistent.
About iifty members were at the after
noon meeting. Among the most active
workers of the aonory committee are Dr.
O. 1). Hail' and Mordncai White, tipiceland;
V. N. Cones. Thorntowu; T. A. liarnet and
O. K. Gully. Danville: Jess W. Kirk,
(treensbnrg; Absalom Knight. Westtield; G.
N. Meharry. Lafayette; E. H. Little. Clay
ton; Setn Mills, Valley Mills; II. C. Neil.
Darlington, and Horace Keeve, Friends
wood, who were present.
Dr. IL V. Hunter, chairman of the execu
tive committee, resigned yostcrday. The
committee will elect bis successor soon.
These meetings of the committee will con
tinue to occur every month until the work
is a fixture in politics. It will be under
stood that these- meetings are in the nature
of private conferences, and none are ad
mitted who have not the credentials of
membership. The same modes of secrecy
concerning its work will be observed as
Are in the Saloon-keepers' League.

"JIM" KEAUII FOR CHAIRMAN
DowniDEites Say Tbey Will Fnt Dim at
tho Head of the City Committee.
Police Force Engaged fn Circulating the Sul
livan Petitions Central Labor Union
Resolution Indorsed.
James L. Kcacb, more generally known
as "Jim" in these days of political familiar
ity, has been selected by the Dowmugites
to fill the oflice of the chairman of the city
central Democratic committee, and his
friends and adherents say that there will
be no doubt about his election to the place.
He will go there as the representative of
the Downing element, and so confident is it
of capturing the convention for its lavorito
that it makes the assertion of Keach'e suc
cession to the heretofore invincible Tag
(tart's place with no hesitancy at all. The
present city committee ends its existence
when the convention has met in session and
has nominated its candidate. The new
members are elected by the primaries that
elect delegates, and it is on them that the
friends of Keach rely to elect him to the
position spoken of.
Steps in the aforesaid direction are already
being taken, and not a night passes which
does not see meetings held in various parts
of the city booming tho interests of Down
ing, with the assertion that Keach is the
ouly man who can elect him thrown in.
Should Keach get this position his rise
from a politician of ward power only to
one of prominence will be rather sudden.
He is a commission merchant doing busi
ness on South Delaware street. From this
fact alone he has been compelled to come
in contaot with a large number of the
elcmentof the population whichiscomposed
of peddlers and the like, and he has gained
an inlluence over them which makes
them a valuable quantity in fixing things.
It was through them that his first inlluence
as a politician became felt, and it will be
through them in the abstract that he will
owe the position which is about to be
given him.
Hard Tailing with Those Petitions.
George Koontz, one of the ardent Down
ingites, claims to have seen a policeman
carrying around one of the Sullivan peti
tions, and ho and the other Dowingites are
somewhat indignant over the partiality
shown by tho Board of Public Safety.
Fireman Hinite was reduced by the board
several days agobeoausehe dared to speak
a word for Downing, but it seems that it
makes a great deal of diflerence with the
board between working for Sullivan and
working for Downing. Tho Sullivan pe
titions are not a success so far, and the
managers have to resort to vigorous cam
paiemns to get eianera to them. If more
names are not obtained within the next
few days the entire police force will have
to be put to work securing enough names
to make even a fair showing. The unanim
ity with which the Democrats are asking
the Mayor to become a candidate is noted
for its absence.
It has been given out that the Mayor will
back out of the race if at least two thou
sand names are not secured. The first plan
was not to spring the petition If sufficient
names were not obtained, but rather to let
Sullivan announce himself without the
petitions. The friends of the Mayor, bow
ever, did not count on the fact becoming
generally known that the petitions were
out until a big list of names had been ob
tained. It is too late now, however, to
drop the petitions, and they must bo filled
at all hazards. '
Approved the Roast.
The Federal Labor Union met last night
and unanimously concurred in the resolu
tions passed on Monday night by the Cen
tral Labor Union eooring the Sullivan ad
ministration. It was claimed by the friends
of tho Mayor that the resolutions beforo
the Central Labor Union on Monday night
were passed by a number of soreheads, but
this action of the Federal Labor Union dis
pels that idea. The Federal is tho first of
the anions to meet since the resolutions
were adopted on Monday night, and tho
delegate to the Central Union reported
back the action of the Central body. Other
unions will ratify the action of the Central
organization, and the Mayor and his boards
will have their hands full with the labor
people before the convention begins to hore
insight.

BIS STKANGE ILLUSION.
Believes Everybody Is Yelling "Saratoga
Chips" in His Ear.
A. K. Mnir. residing on Belmont avenue,
is euil'ering from an acute attaok of imag
ination that is very distressing, and threat
ens a serious disorder of the brain. Muir
has for somo time been engaged in the
manufacture of Saratoga chips, which he
sold to the hotels and restaurants,
but for the last two weeks has been
ill. Yesterday ho was ablo to come
down town, where ho was met. as ho
thought, with a decidedly queer welcome.
About noon he found officer Corrigan. to
whom ho told his trouble. He imagined
that everybody on the street was crying
"Saratoga chips" as he passed by.. He
could find no rest from the din in his ears,
for wherever ho went he caught the same
uutunelul cry. The officer, after hearing
Muir's complaint, decided that he wns in a
bad state and sent him to police headquar
ters. Dr. Karo saw h:in last night and con
cluded that the strange delusion was the
result of sickness ana ordered him taken
home.

INDIGNANT FIFTEENTH WARDERS.
Wrath Over the Location of the New Bridge
Catterson's Mysterious "Pall."
The Democrats in the Fifteenth ward
are very indignant at the action of the
County Commissioners in deciding to put
tho new bridge over Whito river at Ken
tucky avenue, instead of having it cross
the river at Bay street The charges are
made that some nndue inlluence has been
used with the commissioners. Ed Creasy,
of South West street, and others are talk
ing In a significant way about tho attain
Some think that Mr. Cattorson. of the Sul
livan Board of Safety, has used his inllu
ence with tho commissioners to get them to
place the bridge over the river at Ken
tucky avenue. Mr. Catterson's property
Interests aro said to lie in that direction to
a considerable extent. Thcro is talk of
holding a mass meeting in the Fifteenth

JIMMIE M'BIUDE K0T THERE
Law and Order People of Haughville
Had Tiieir Innings Last Night.
New Screen Ordinance Tassed at Their Re
quest Treasurer Eiglsberg Ousted and
Forest Elected in Ills Place.
There was a sad lack of the saloon ele
ment at the Haughville Town Board meet
ing last night, henee the session was of a
harmonious nature and closed with a vic
tory for law and morality. Since the out
rageous amendment to the screen ordi
nance was passed by tho board last Satur
day night there has been much adverse
comment, and many favored the plan of
holding an indignation meeting. At last
night's meeting were present many o the
leading citizens, who were there to invoke
the aid of the board in suppressing the sale
of liquor on Sunday and at unreason
able night hours.
Mr. John L. Kotcham, of the Brown
Ketcham iron works, presented tho oase to
the board in the name of the law-abiding
people of Haughville, and in a happy talk
of a half hour convinced the honorable
body that the fair name of Haughville
ought to be protected by the enforcement
of a sorecn law. 'lie Implored the board to
lend a band in the suppression of the ruin
ous practioe of selling whisky on the Sab
bath and during the night, when men
should be in their homes instead of the
grog shop.
Mr. Ketcham's argument met with oppo
sition on the part of Trustee Kd Moore and
druggist Scott, tho former objecting to the
measure because he thought the town mar
shal was paid to prevent saloon keopera
from breaking the laws and would answer
the purpose of screens. Mr. Scott displayed
some peculiar symptoms in his argument
against tho screen law, which were hardly
understood, inasmuch as the gentleman
operates a drug store and has his wares
on sale seven days in the week.
President Patterson, of the board,
was for the audience and Trnstee Hungate,
who; last week, vote for the amendment as
proposed by Jimmie" McBride, arose to
state that he had boon for it all the time,
and would now vote on the right side. Mr.
Hungate'e propensity for changeable
colors was pretty well known, and tho mo
tion to adopt the ordinance was put and
passed immediately. Trustee Moore voted
against it,) as he declared he would on all
occasions.
The ordinance, as prepared by Town At
torney Mitchell, provides that it shall bo
unlawful for any dealer in liquors to screen
his windows on Sunday, on any legal holi
day and between the hours of 11 o'clock
r. M. and 5 o'clock a. M. The news of the
success of the measure was received with
pleasure by the great majority of citizen?.
Those of the saloon element who were pres
ent when the vote was taken had no word
of comment to offer, and the word was
flashed over to Jimmie McBrido's place,
where that eloquent exponent of brewed
malt was receiving his friends. Jimmie
spoke cot, but swelled with a consuming
wrath, which waxed hotter and hotter as
the slow tinkle of tho last mule car warned
him that his closing hour was nigh.
The matter of Treasurer Kiglebnrg's
bond was brought dp before the board, it
having been understood that the treasurer
was to be prepared to name his sureties.
Ho stated, however, that he was unable to
do so. and his resignation was demanded.
He filed it at once, and T. B. Forest was
unanimously elected bis successor. Other
minor business was transaotod, principal
among which was the rejection of tho re
port of the commissioners on the Holmes
avenue and Cleveland and Haugh-street
improvements. This was done on the ad
vioe of the attorney, who thought the re
port irregular in its provision for benefits
and damages.
BIG CONTRACT FOR ENGINES.
Thirty of Them for the Big Four Recorded
with the Secretary of State.
A contract between tho C, C, C. & St
L ltailroad Company and the Richmond
locomotive and machine works was filed
with the Secretary of State yesterday.
Tho contract is a conditional one for the
purchase of thirty ten-wheel freight lo
comotives, to cost $9,740 each, or a total of
202,000. Tho terms of the sale to the rail
road company provide that 10 per cent, is
to be paid in cash, and notes of 5.819.45
each, one of which ia to bo payable every
year for the next fifty years, are to be
given for the balance. The engines were
all to be delivered to the company by
March 21. 1803, the contract being dated
Deo. SI, 18'J2. The title of the engines is
not to be in the name of the railroad com
pany until the notes are all paid for, and
the railroad company is to pay all taxes,
and have the ongines properly insured.
Tho contraot is signed by President In
galls, of the Big Four, and President W. K.
Trigg, of the locomotive works.
Free-for-AIl Neighborly Fight.
The Millers and Wilsons, colored families,
residing on Howard street, between First
and Second streets, brought their family
disturbances to an abrupt termination, yes
terday, by a general running fight. The
trouble originated over the dividing line
between the properties owned by the par
ties, which has been a source of great an-'
noyance on both sides. Some time ago one
family threw rubbish over into the oter
family's yard, which destroyed four rows
of potatoes. Since then trouble has been
Imminent. Yesterday Joseph Miller met
Ktchard Wilson and his wife Leosia. and
the feud was renewed. During the quar
rel Miller shot at Wilson, but missed him,
and was. In turn, trounced by the couple.
Miller was arrested by Sergeant Hyland
and officers Carter and Simpson oti tho
charge of assault and battery with intent
to kill, and later the Wilsons wero locked
up for assault and battery.

PRAYER MEETING IN JAIL
Hardened Sinners Snccnmb to Relig
ious Influence Wielded by Women.
Motley Audience That Gathered in the Stone
Corridor Mysterious Girl Doinj: '
Missionary Work Incog.
The forty prisoners confined at the
county jail participated in religious exer
cises, yesterday afternoon, In the corridors
of the prison. Tho services were conducted
by Mrs. Clara Conklin and Mrs. K. II.
Ileece, of the Meridian-Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. It is the custom of
this organization to conduct devotional ex
orcises in the jail and workhouse once a
month, and tho women who prayed for the
souls of the hardened men and boys yester
day have this work in charge. Mrs. Conk
lin and Mrs. Keece were assisted in the
work by a yonng lady who is an enthusi
astic laborer in the interests of the great
cause. The report had gone inside that
the afternoon was to be devoted to relig
ious worship, and when the three Chris
tian women were ushered into the rough
corridors of the prison they found a strange
audience awaiting them. Banged along
the rude benches about the whitewashed
walls sat tho inmates, of all races and ages.
Many of the prisoners had made an at
tempt at cleaning themselves, and the
scant locks of old men, whose faces showed
the iudeiiblo marks of vice, had the ap
pearance of a recent introduction to the
brush and comb, while the conntenanceaof
suveral youthful prisoners shone ruddy
from the ettects of an application of water
and towel. John Parker, the murderer
condemned to die, was a prominent figure
in the little audience, but tho fucoofhia
partner, Ed McAfee, could not be seen.
MoAfeo eat on his couch in his call during
the entire service, aud could not be pre
vailed upon to emerge from his quarters.
However, he paid tho strictest attention
to everything said, and occasionally his
dark face appeared around tho corner of
the cell door as the words of song echoed
throughout that stranee hall of worship.
Copies of the Gosyel Hymns were distrib
uted among tho prisoners, and nearly all
joined in the sinning of the opening hymn,
"What a Friend We Have in Jesus." Many
of tho prisoners possess passable voices and
proudly lent a bass or tenor to the music.
Mrs. Conklin, a!tr the conclusion of the'
verses, ottered prayer, during which every
prisoner knelt and bowed low his head.
One of the ladies suggested that all sing
"Where Is My Wandering Boy To-night."
and as the sweet, expressive words of the
old song arose from many tremulous lips
there could be heard the deep sobs that ap
parently emanated from contrito hearts.
One prisoner, a young man. whose sorrow
ful faco betoken better days in the past,
was muob overcome and shed tears of peni
tence. During the reading of a psalm from
David by Mrs. Keece, the prisoners
were unusually attentive, and after
a short sermon there were few in the audi
ence who did not hold up their hands with
the desire to bo better men. A striking
feature of the services occurred during the
singing of the last hymn, when the young
girl who assisted in the work seated her
self upon the crude bench beside John
Parker, and, with her sweet face aglow,
blended her voice with that of the con
demned murderer in singing from the same
page. At its close the girl took the book,
and, seeking o'ut the hymn, "Take Me as 1
Am," hummed it softly, Parker listening
closely to the words, and afterward re
questing that ho be allowed to retain the
book. The services closed with an impres
sive prayer by the young lady and tho reci
tation of tbo Lord's prayer, in which the
voices of all were mingled. At the earnest
solicitation of the prisoners the visitors
promised to repeat the services at some
future times
RELAY BICYCLE RIDE
Struck Indianapolis Over Four Hours Late
Good Tima to Kentucky.
The riders of the relay run carrying a
message from Governor Altgeld, of Illinois,
to Governor Matthews, of this city, arrived
at tho northwest corner of the Statehouse
yesterday morning at 5:40 o'clock, being
just four hours and twenty-live minutes
hehind the schedule time. The message
was carried to this city from Spray, ten
miles west, by George Dickson, accompa
nied by Frank Day. and the dis-.
tance was covered in thirty-seven minutes.
The message was taken chargo of by
Clark Tuttle. who has assisted Captain
Fisher in the management of the Indiana
part of tho run, and he delivered it to Gov
ernor Matthews's secretary as soon as the
latter had arrived in his office at the State
house this morning. Expectiug the mes
sage to arrive in this city during the hours
of tho night previous the Governor's pri
vate secretary had sat up to receive it un
til informed that it would not get in until
morning, consequently it was not thought
advisable to wake him at that early hour
in the morning. The message was as fol
lows! June 14, 1893.
To Ilia Excellency, Oovernor C. 3Xatthows, InOiaa
ODoIia, Intl.:
Dear Sir Tho Governor of Illinois, apprecia
lng the very pleasant relationship existing be
tween the people of this btate and the xeopIo of
Indiana, feuds his regards to the Governor of
that great (state, and, as both tftates sutler from
the waut of good roads, this meteago will bo
carried by an agency which hopes to arouse In
terest to tho importance of this subject. Yours
truly, John P. ai.tgelh.
Governor of Illinois, r-
In a paoket similar to the ono which con
tained the missive to Governor Matthews
was one to Governor Brown, of Kentucky,
and this was hurried on to its destination
with a delay of only a few seconds. Frank
Clemens and Harry Sparks carried this
packet on, the end of their relay being at
Greenwood, a distance ot twelve miles,
which was made inside of the schedule
time. From there it was taken by 'Gene"
Minor, who curried it to Franklin, a dis
tance of ten miles, and he made up seven
toeu minutes of tho time. From there W.
W. McCain and Alex. Gregg took it
through to Columbus, twelve and a half
miles, in one hour and thirty-one and a
half minutes, gaining thirteen minutes on
the schedule. E. O. Wiuteroad and Frank
Donner left Columbus with it at 8:37.
From Columbus to New Albany good
timo was made, and the latter place was
reached with tho riders only two hours
and forty-eight minutes behind the sched
ule. ' From that point the Kentucky riders
took it, aud Frankfort was reached at 7:07
r. m.
The Wisconsin end of the relay moved on
without any misfortunes, and Madison
was reached by tbo riders four minutes
ahead of the schedule, and the message
was in Governor Peck's hands a few min
utes later. The distance was 205 miles,
and the time consumed in covering it was
twenty-six hours and fifty-three minutes.

JOKE THAT PROVED SERIOUS.
Torpedoes on the Car Track Cause a Woman to
Jump Off Seriously Injured by the FalL
Jane Cox, an elderly colored woman,
jumped from a moving electrio car on the
North Illinois-street line, last night, about
9 o'clook, and struck her head on the
'ground, suQering a conoussion of the brain.
The city ambulance took ber from Muebl's
drug store, at First and Illinois, near where
she was injured, to her home, at No. ,426
Lafayette street. She is not dangerously
injured.
Small boys had put torpedoes on the
track, and when the oar ran over them so
much noise was made that the woman be
came scared and jumped from the car while
it was going at a good rate of speed.

Jfthe German Army Hill
Should again fail to pass, and the Emperor
insists upon refusing to sanction the Ca
privi compromise, there is but one way to
avoid a revolution. EngeneVllicbter and
Kaiser Wilhelm should come at once to In
diananolis, sit down to a glass or two of
the unexcelled "Columbia Beer." and talk
it over. They'll find it on tap everywhere.
