Umpire Lynch Retires.
WASHINGTON July 19.—President Young
to-night announced that League Umpire
Lynch has tendered his resignation, owing
to ill health. Umpire McDermott, who has
been 111, will resume duty at once. Lynch
has served the league longer than any other
umpire, having begun his work in 1888.
THE TARIfVvICTORY.
(Concluded from First I’nge.l
an anti-trust amendment had been placed
in the bill its most dangerous fangs would
have been drawn.
Mr. Grosvenor (Rep., O.) interrupted Mr.
Kelly to say that the increase of the duty
on lead ore was placed in the Senate bill
by Populist senators and held in the bill
by the Populists on the conrerence commit
tve.
Mr. Kelly challenged Mr. Grosvenor to
name the senator:-.
“The two senators from Nevada,” replied
Mr. Grosvenor.
“I was not aware that Nevada had more
than one Populist senator at most,” said
Mr. Kelly. “No man who votes for the
Sugar trust Is a Populist.”
Mr. Lewis asked Mr. Grosvenor whether
it was not a fact that the duties on white
lead gave the Lead Trust 53,500,000 of pro
tection.
GROSVENOR’S LITTLE SLIP.
"I do not know and I do not care,” re
plied Mr. Grosvenor, smiling.
“I knew the latter was true,” responded
Mr. Lewis, with his most debonair air.
“The Republican party does not care what
outrage it commits.” (Democratic laugh
ter.)
The House then, at 6 p. m., took a recess
until 8 p. m., under the agreement made
earlier in the day.
At 8 o'clock when the night session began
the galleries were crowded, many ladies
being present. Mr. Dingley stated at the
outset that he hoped to secure a vote by
10 o’clock. Mr. Bailey said 10 o’clock was
too early-, but he thought the vote could be
taken by 11 o’clock. He would not, how
ever, make a definite agreement on the
vote. Thereupon Mr. Dingley gave notice
that he would move the previous question
not later than 11 o’clock. .
In the galleries were many distinguished
personages of both sexes. In the executive
gallery sat Secretary of Navy Long and on
the floor at the side of Hitt, of Illinois, sat
Attorney General McKenna, who was a
member of the ways and means committee
In 1890 when the McKinley law was passed.
Altogether it was a brilliant setting tor the
close of a memorable struggle. The Re
publicans still pursued the tactics they had
adopted during the day- session. Is one or
them claimed the floor and the minority
was compelled to put forward their speak
ers. Therefore, after McDowell, of Ohio,
and Mr. Berry, of Kentucky-, had made
brief speeches, Mr. Bailey-, the Democratic
leader who had been reserving his speech
for the close, took the lloor. He made a
carefully prepared argument, dealing more
with the general principles involved than
with details. Time and again during the
progress of his remarks the Democrats
were aroused by his eloquence to a high
pitch of enthusiasm. ,
Just before the close of Mr. Bailey- s re
marks the most sensational incident of the
debate occurred. He had been assailing the
doctrine of the free raw materials, a com
parative innovation in the Democratic
creed. In order to demonstrate that it was
a product of Clevelandism, he sent to the
clerk’s desk and had read an extract from
a newspaper commenting on the fact that
In the Forty-ninth Congress Senator Mills,
then a member of the House, Mr. McMilUn,
of Tennessee, and two other Democratic
members of the ways and means committee
had voted against free wool. Mr. McMillin
jumped to his feet and demanded to Know
whether it was charged that he had voted
against free wool.
“William E. Morrison told me so with
his own lips,” replied Mr. Bailey, facing
Mr. McMillin, whose face was flushed. Not
onlv that, but he said both you and Sena
tor Mills voted against some reductions in
the metal schedule.” ,
"Since the gentleman has seen fit to at
tack mv record and to misrepresent me—
began Mr. McMillin. but Mr. Bailey quickly
disclaimed any purpose of attacking him.
“1 desire to commend your action then,
s&id lie.
The disclaimer being accepted, Mr. Mc-
Millin hotly asked in turn why Mr. Bailey
had voted in the ways and means commit
tee against the woolen schedule of the
present law when it was offered as a sub
stitute for the high rates in the pending
measure.
THE GALLERIES ROARED.
wave of appleuse ran over the Demo
cratic side at this question, but was
drowned in the perfect storm of approval
that greeted Mr. Bailey's reply that never
as long as he was in Congress would he
vote for 50 per cent, duties on woolen goods
and no duties on raw wool. The Republic
ans and the galleries joined in this demon
stration.
“How could the gentleman from Ten
nessee," he continued, w T hen the applause
subsided, “vote for free wool in the face
of the Chicago platform, which he helped
to defend?" „, . . .
“The Chicago platform did not take the
back track on the principle of tariff for
revenue only,” replied Mr. McMillin.
•‘l’ll prove that it did,” cried Mr. Bailey.
“Is Mr. Robertson, of Louisiana, in the
House?" he looking about him. But
Mr. Robertson was not present, and Mr.
Bailey proceeded to argue that the Chicago
platform did return to the “old Democratic
theory'.” He said the present Democratic
organization sought to rescue the party
from those who w'ere wrecking it. M hen
the party was making new recruits the
wreckers had deserted it. , , .
When he repudiated “the Cleveland here
sy'" and announced the doctrine “that all
taxes should be laid for revenue” the Dem
ocrats in sympatny with him cheered lusti
ly Mr Bailey spoke for about two hours
and a half. His peroration was enthusias
tically greeted and he was warmly congrat
ulated. ,
Mr. McMillin (Dem., Tennessee), who had
twenty minutes of his hour remaining, con
sumed that time in denouncing the sugar
schedule, which, he said, added $12,000,000 to
the price of sugar certificates to-day, and
in replying to Mr. Bailey’s remarks about
his record. Any statement from any quar
ter that he had ever advocated a duty on
wool Mr. McMillin declared, was unjust to
him and incorrect. He had been consistent.
Moreover. Mr. McMillin in turn delved into
Mr. Bailey’s past, and pointed out occasions
when the Lone Star statesman had voted
for free coal, free iron ore, free barbed wire,
free sugar and even free wool in the Fifty
second Congress. Mr. McMillin’s comment
on the inconsistency of Mr. Bailey’s free
wool vote caused much merriment. In con
clusion he appealed to the Democracy to go
into the battle again with its banners bear
ing the old mottoes.
Mr. Bailev got the floor after Mr. McMil
lin tinished long enough to say that when
he cast the votes referred to by Mr. McMil
lin the indorsed doctrine of his party w'as
free raw material, and. as a loyal Demo
crat. he supported its platform declarations.
He now held a commission from the Democ
racy to oppose that doctrine, and he should
do so.
Mr. Payne and Mr. Dingley successively
took the iloor for some closing remarks.
The former devoted his time to a defense
of the sugar schedule. He figured out a
differential in favor of the reliner in the
present law at the prices prevailing in 1894
of 52V0 cents per one hundred pounds. Tak
ing Mr. Swanson’s illustration of the nine
ty-two-degree sugars, Mr. Payne figured on
the basis of the amount of raw sugar un
refined (114'i. pounds) that the refiner under
the present law had a differential of .314
per one hundred pounds against .173 of dif
ferential in the proposed schedule.
Mr. Dingley openly avowed that the
schedule gave a slight additional protection
to refined sugar, but at the same time it
raised raw all along the line. Trusts, he
said, could not be eradicated by epithets.
“The way to break down the trusts.” he
cried, “is to establish a beet-sugar factory
in every congressional district in the coun
try and make competition. That is the way
to clip the wings of the trust." (Loud and
long Republican applause.)
Amid a storm of cheers Mr. Dingley then
demanded the previous question on the
adoption of the conference report. Vainly
Mr. Johnson, Republican, of Indiana, tried
to ask Mr. Dingley a question while the
question was being put. Several times he
called “Mr. Speaker,” but was not recog
nized.
The demand was sustained by a viva
voce vote, and the vote on the adoption
of tho report followed by yeas and nays.
Considerable excitement occurred while
the vote was being taken. When the speak
er announced tho vote IS9 years. 115 nays,
the Republicans broke into loud cheers.
The House then at 12:17 a. m. took a recess
until Wednesday.
Ah to UirdH.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 19. the
first time this season the Brewers fell down
like a lot of selling platers in the ninth
inning, when they practically had the game
won. Errors by Myers and Daly, followed
by a batting rally, gave the IToosiers seven
runs and an unexpected victory. Up to
that time the Milwaukees had clearly out
played their opponents, and Reidy’s clever
pitching had kept the hits down, matching
Stub Brown's splendid work by superb gen
eralship. Team against team up to the
fatal ninth, the Brewers showed up in su
perior form, Myers having a superb rec
ord, both at the bat and in the field, and
Nicol outmatching McFarland in covering
center, but the ninth inning was the turn
ing point, and the Brewers turned like
frightened sheep and ran as if “Old Nick”
were after them.
Speer's hit, a sacrifice, Stafford’s single
and Daly's triple gave the Brewers two in
the first inning. For two innings the
Hoosiers were blanked, and then Brown’s
single, Hogriever’s sacrifice and Gray’s hit
sent in a run. From that inning to the
sixth both sides were blanked, and then
Lewee's double, a base on balls and Speer’s
triplo gave the Brewers two. In the sev
enth My-ers’s triple and Stewart’s wild
throw added another run to the record of
the locals; but in the eighth the Hoosiers
crawled up one, Lewee’s muff and Gray's
single giving them a run. In the ninth
Myers took Stewart’s grounder and threw
wild to Stafford and then took Fly-nn’s
grounder and tossed the ball to Daly, who
muffed the throw, giving two men life.
Wood’s home run scored three men, tying
up the game. Brown hit safely and Hog
riever sacrificed him to third, then Gray’s
homer and three singles more added four
more, making seven for the Indianapolis
score in the ninth. When the Brewers wont
to bat Flynn threw wild to first on Weav
er’s hit and Myers drove the ball to left
for two sacks, bringing in Weaver, but the
rest were easy outs. Gray-’s batting was
the feature of the game. Score;

Baseball Note*.
Brown pitched good ball y-esterday.
Five out of six on the trip is a splendid
showing. Now for Minneapolis.
Washington is the only team that has
made four home runs In one game this
season.
Glasscock was at bat twenty-four times
last week and made three hits. This will
never do for a man who was at the top of
the heap last season.
As it Is an off day for Indianapolis, there
will be no game at the Grand to-day. To
morrow's Minneapolis game will be played
at the theater as usual by the “little In
dians.”
Mertes the Spiker is just as popular with
the bleachers as ever. He is hissed and
hooted more by the fans than any oth’er
man in the Western League.—Minneapolis
Times.
According to the Milwaukee papers the
sun so dazzled Motz in the fifteenth innjng
of "Sunday's game that he did not see th’e
ball Flynn threw- across to him, and it
went to the bleachers, the em r costing the
game.”
Several of the Indianapolis play-ers are
going to take part in the gam’e at St. Paul
Friday for the benefit of Frank Kraus, who
is hopelessly- 111 w-ith consumption. The
game is to be between the veterans and
the young’er players.
Lake is playing pugilistic ball. He made a
pass at Anson at Chicago the other day and
narrowly escaped a cot in the hospital.
Duffy and Anson were sent to the bench,
and Lake, who had caused it all, was al
lowed to play- th’e game out.
Therte is nothing in that story that Carney
w-as coming to St. Paul to play first base
and Glasfccock and Hollingsworth w-ere
to move around a peg each. Carney’s ankle
is in bad shape, and h’e does not now expect
to play- any more this season.
Warner, who is umpiring at Milwaukee,
is from the Central League, which has just
disbanded.' He officiated at Evansville Sat
urday, but was hustled to Milwaukee Sun
day by- President Johnson because of the
dissatisfaction with. Fitzgibbons.
Indianapolis does not play to-day, but to
morrow- Watkins’s men will open at Min
neapolis for four games. On the last trip
they took th’e entire series from the Millers
and if they can repeat the operation this
week there will be general rejoicing. Goar
will pitch the opening Minneapolis gam’e to
morrow.
The attendance at Milwaukee Sunday was
3,500 and not 7,000 as s’ent out by excited
correspondents. There is no sense In pad
ding the crowds in this manner. Eighteen
hundred people saw Saturday's game there.
The Indianapolis fieam is making up some
of its Kansas City financial losses, the at
tendance there averaging less than 400 a
game.
That game up at Milw-aukee yesterday
squares matters. When the Brewers were
here last month they struck a batting
streak in the ninth inning of their opening
game, after Eustace had made a bad error,
and hit Phillips for four runs, thus winning
an apparently hoiteless contest. It was a
tough game to lose, but the one of yes
terday was equally as trying to Connie
Mack’s nerves. Watkins did the ninth in
ning smiling yesterday.
It is safe to say there never was a scene
of more genuine enthusiasm witnessed in
an Indianapolis theater than that w-hich
followed Wood’s home run in the ninth in
ning at the Grand yesterday. A moment
afterwards when Gray also put the ball
over the fence for a home run, winning the
game which Wood’s hit had tied, the scen’e
w-as repeated. The manner In which In
dianapolis pulled the game out of the fire
sent the fans home happy.
The Central League hits quit business,
and Indianapolis has another pitcher to
either carry or release, as Kellum, w-ho has
be'en winning most of Washington’s games,
wired here y-esterday for instructions. An
other player Indianapolis had planted in
Washington is Durett, a great big fellow,
w-ho has been doing excellent work in th’e
outfield and with the stick. Kellum was
ordered to report here at once, and will
arrive to-day. Indianapolis has several
double-headers to play next month and he
may be useful.
GROSSE POINTE PACING
DICKERSON WON THE 2:20 W ITH JO
SEPHINE, A lIOOSIEIt HORSE.
Bail Driving of Red Seal Enabled
Puteben Hoy to Carry Off tlxe
Three-Year-Old Event.
DETROIT, Mich., July 19. About five
thousand persons saw John R. Gentry and
Robert J. pace- exhibition miles at the
Crosse Points track to-day. Gentry made
the mile in 2:04% and Robert J. w-as a sec
ond slower. The track w-as in fine condi
tion, but the air was rather oppressive and
scarcely Ideal for record breaking. It
threatened rain, but the showers were ac
commodatingly held back until just as the
programme was completed, which was ear
lier than usual, because the two class races
were won in straight heats. In the 2:20 pace
Silver Chimes was the favorite, but he gave
no indications of doing anything for his
backers. John Dickerson, with Josephine,
stepped off three good miles and won each
heat w-ithout having to be fully extended.
It was the first race that Dickerson has
w-on at the meeting, and a select few of
the Hoosier delegation had a good day, for
Josephine was an outsider in the early sell
ing. Red Seal was the first choice in the
three-y-ear-old pace, with Patchen Boy- sec
ond in demand. Red Seal finished third in
the first heat, which was won in 2:13, and
second in the next heat, which was made
in 2:13%. In consideration of Red Seal’s
show-ing last week, when he demonstrated
his ability to go in 2:10, the judges decided
to change drivers, so they took Ervin out
and put Geers in his place. The Kansas
colt had been going to a break on the first
turn in the previous heats, and Geers was
cautioned to go slow with him. This he
rather overdid, as It was thirty-seven sec
onds to the quarter, with Patchen Boy ten
lengths in front. Geers drove the Kansas
colt from the half home in 1:02%, but he
was a little too far back to win th< heat.
This third heat was about two seconds
faster than any of the others.
The time made in the specials w-as a dis
appointment, and Mr. liowne, w-ho drove
them, says that rain and heavy tracks at
Montreal and Manchester prevented him
from having either Gentry or Robert J. on
edge. They leave here Tuesday night for
Chicago. President Campau says there will
never be another exhibition against time on
the Grosse Pointe track, unless remunera
tion for the exnibition depends on breaking
the world's record. Summaries:

Queen Victoria's Diary.
New York Press.
Jubile’e literature continues to arrive.
Much of it has lost its flavor, but it may be
new to many that Queen Victoria was w-ont
to speak of Prince Albert, her husband, as
“Master.” and to write her inmost thoughts
in a diary- which, before her death, has be
comv public. A contributor to an English
periodical says:
“From the moment of their union the
Queen was singularly humble toward the
man th’e world adjudged exceptionally ex
alted by marriage. In the year 1845 she
had the great and sentimental pleasure of
going with her husband co his Fatherland.
En rouiv they- visited F-elgmin, the Queen
recording her delight at every- novel sight,
though nothing pleased her so much as
spending her husband's birthday in his own
country, 'the anniversary of her dear mas
ter's birth,’ wrote thv Queen on that happy
day, the title ’master* being one which,
with loving humility, she often applied to
her consort.”
A CASE FOR GRAND JURY
COUNCIL SENDS THE ENTIRE GAME
WELL SYSTEM MI DDLE THERE.
. *-
Residence District Saloon Restriction
Ordinance Introduced—A Step to Pro
vide for Safety in Theaters.
The grand jury will be asked by the Com
mon Council to investigate the entire mud
dle which came up over the award, by the
Board of Safety, of the police telegraph
contract to the Gamewell Company. Last
night at the meeting of the City Council
Mr. Montgomery submitted a report from
the special committee which had been ap
pointed, to investigate the charges against
Councilman dark. The report contained
all the evidence submitted to the committee
at its recent meeting. The report was an
exoneration of the member of the Council.
Mr. Montgomery explained how the com
mittee had proceeded in the investigation,
summoning and examining all persons who
were known to have had any knowledge o
the case. He told how Messrs. MacCurdy
and Dodge had retracted all they had saiu
through the newspapers.
The committee moved the adoption of its
report. Mr. Payne opposed the mere adop
tion of the report, as sucli action would
end the entire matter. He thought either
the committee should make a more
thorough investigation, or, if the Council
was unwilling to impose further service on
the committee, the entire matter should be
sent to the grand jury with the recom
mendation that that body give it attention.
MacCurdy had gone to the newspaper offi
ces and made explicit charges of attempted
corruption against Councilman Clark.
Agent Dodge had gone with MacCurdy and
corroborated the statement as to Mr.
Clark’s appearance at MucCurdy’s office.
These men then w'ent before the investigat
ing committee and made exactly contrary
statements. MacCurdy has since made
statements, weakening what he testified to
under oath. The case was in a fair shape
for the grand jury to investigate. If Mac-
Curdy had circulated falsehoods against the
councilman the law of the land would prob
ably cover his case, for no one has the right
to spread such a willful and damaging slan
ders against a public official; while on the
other hand, if MacCurdy’s charges were
shown to contain grounds to them, then
the grand July should put the councilman
on the road to punishment. It was a ques
tion as to the occasion on which Mac-
Curdy had told the truth. The speaker
thought the investigation could have been
more thorough. The conduct in other
municipal dealings of the Gamewell agent
who was given the contract might have
been a proper subject for inquiry. Refer
ence was made to charges in' a Covington,
Ky., paper of attempted boodling by this
same agent.
Messrs. Colter and Montgomery insisted
that the investigation had been thorough.
All the witnesses Known to have had any
information about the case had been ques
tioned. The committee had taken Mr. Mac-
Curdy’s sworn statement and had no right
to dispute it. Mr. Allen said he knew very
little about the investigation except what
he had gleaned through the newspapers
and his vote would necessarily be cast in
the dark. He said there was a general dis
satisfaction over the investigation and a
feeling that it had not been thorough. Mr.
Dudley, a member on the Democratic side
of the chamber, said he was willing that
the matter go to the grand jury. The
motion to receive the report of the investi
gating committee was amended so as to
provide that all the records in the case be
transmitted to the grand jury with the re
quest that a thorough investigation be
made. This amended motion was adopted
without opposition.
SAFETY OF THEATERS.
Experts to l’ns* on New Bondings Be
fore Tliey Are Licensed.
The matter of the construction of thea
ters w r as up again before the Council. May
or Taggart reported that he had appointed
Architects Oscar D. Bohlen, Louis H. Gib
son and Arthur Bohn to assist the Council
in revising the threater ordinance. The ar
chitects also sent in a communication say
ing that the time was too short to make
a report. It was recommended that, instead
of passing a special ordinance covering the
construction of theaters, a revised building
ordinance be passed. The report held that,
at the best, the theater ordinance and the
general building ordinance would conflict
in parts and that the building ordinance
could be amended so as to cover all the
points of the special ordinance without eon
fliction. The ordinance had been, referred
at the last meeting of the Council to the
committee on printing, by this committee
to be placed in the hands of the committee
of architects and the building inspector.
The committee on printing, composed of
Messrs. Montgomery, O’Connor and Payne,
offered the following resolution:
“Bo it resolved by the Common Council
of the city of Indianapolis, that the mayor
of this city be instructed to appoint a com
mission of architects to act with a special
committee of three from the Common
Council, and the building inspector, to draft
a general builuing ordinance for the city
of Indianapolis, and to also prepare a sup
plemental ordinance pertaining to the con
struction of theaters, said supplemental or
dinance to be based on the general building
ordinance. When said ordinances are pre
pared thev are to be submitted to this
Council by the special committee of the
Council.
“Be it resolved that the city controller be
instructed to issue no license for any thea
ter now in the process of construction until
that official and the mayor are satisfied,
from the evidence submitted by a commit
tee of three experts to be appointed by the
mayor, that said theater is safe and in the
opinion of such experts reasonably exempt
from the dangers of fire.”
Mr. Payne explained the resolution. He
said the theater ordinance was amended at
the last Council meeting to exempt theaters
“now in the process of construction” from
its provisions. That clause had been strick
en out by an amendment. The intent of the
Council on that point was plain, even before
the ordinance reached the printing commit
tee. However, there was a great deal of
talk about the manner of the construc
tion of the Park Theater and, on the other
hand, the people had been informed that
the objectionable timbers in the building
were being' removed or were to be removed
and replaced with iron; that the owners
claimed a great deal of the timber which
caused the talk was merely scaffolding. In
fact there were two sides to the question,
but by all means the public should be pro
tected, and if this theater or English's
Opera House were so constructed as to be
a menace to life, the owners should be
compelled to make alterations. The reso
lution was adopted with two dissenting
votes those of Messrs. Dewar and Ohieyer.
Mr. Dewar objected to so much delay. He
wanted to vote on his ordinance.

SALOON REDISTIUCTING ORDINANCE.
One Covering; the Four Northern
Wards Introduced.
The much-talked-about ordinance restrict
ing saloons from the First, Second, -Third
and Fourth wards, which are defined as a
“residence district," was introduced in the
Council last night by Councilman Payne,
who had been requested by the committee
to present it. He moved to refer it to the
committee on public safety and comfort,
but Messrs. Clark and Wolcott immediate
ly opposed this, moving that it be sent to
the finance committee. It was sent to the
latter committee without opposition. The
committee which prepared the ordinance
states that it has petitions signed by about
four thousand of the residents of these
wards asking for the passage of the or
dinance, tiie full text of which is as fol
low's :

tion thereof:

Sec. 2. Any person or persons violating

nance Shall, on conviction, be fined in any

Among the business transacted by the
Council was the reception of a petition
signed by 169 property tnvners and house
holders of Brightwood, now a part of the
First ward of the city, protesting against
the high rate charged there for natural
gas. The petition sets forth that the citi
zens of that part of the city pay from
30 to 50 per cent, more for gas than in the
rest of the city, and ask that steps be
taken to compel the Indianapolis Gas Com
pany to sell gas at ordinance rates.
There w r as introduced an ordinance chang
ing the names of tiie streets of the suburbs,
so that there shall be no repetitions of
names and so that extensions of streets
within the city shall be brought under that
name.
THE PRICE OF GAS.
Councllmen Not Ready to State the
Amount They Favor.
Councilman Colter, chairman of the com
mittee on contracts and franchises, and
last night that he expected to call a meet
ing of the committee for next Monday night
to consider the two ordinances reducing
the cost of illuminating gas. One was in
troduced by Mr. Allen and fixes the rate
at 75 cents a thousand and one by Mr. Wol
cott places the rate at 90 cents. Mr. Colter
said it would be impossible, on account of
“primaries, conventions and things,” to get
the committee together sooner than Mon
day. He was asked what rate he favored
and said:
“That’s pretty hard to say without a bet
ter understanding of the business of manu
facturing gas. I am in favor of compelling
a reduction, but it should be reasonable on
botli sides. Tho citizens should get gas
cheaper, but the company should not be
deprived of a fair profit.”
Mr. Cooper expressed about the same
views as Mr. Colter. He said it w'ould be
useless to think of fixing a rate and say
ing the company must come down to it
until the Council had absolute knowledge
of the cost of gas manufactured and de
livered in Indianapolis. “Y’ou can talk
about rates in other cities, but we cannot
be governed by them,” he said. “The con
ditions may be different. Coal may be
higher or lower in price, piping may be
cheaper or dearer. We must study the case
from an Indianapolis standpoint. Then give
tiie company a reasonable profit and noth
ing else. If we did not do this the com
pany could shut down its plant as the elec
tric light company did a few years ago.
The courts have held that a public enter
prise cannot be made to continue giving
service to the public at a loss. We must
not be hasty and get the price too low, nor
must we allow the other side of tiie case
to prevent us getting it low' enough.”
Councilman Murphy declined to discuss
the ordinances, “it is because I am a mem
ber of the committee which has to pass
upon them,” he said. “I do not think i
would look well for me to express my views
until the committee has met and made an
investigation of tie subject.”
Mr. Allen was firm for the 75-cent rate
as proposed in his ordinance. “I am satis
fied from reports from other cities and con
versations with gas men that gas can be
sold in this city at this rate and at a
profit to the company,” he said.
Mr. Dewar said he had figured somewhat
on the question of the cost of the manufac
ture and delivery of gas in this city and
had come to the conclusion that 80 cents
was about the right figure.
Other couneilmen agreed that the rate
ought to be lower. All who expressed
themselves w r ere in favor of the passage of
an ordinance fixing the price at a less figure
than now' charged. But the exact figure
they thought ought to be determined by a
thorough investigation of the cost of the
manufacture of gas, allowing a fair profit
and interest on tiie investment. Mr. Mont
gomery said he believed the company would
consent to reduce the price slightly, but he
wanted it reduced to the lowest possible
limit.
Garbage Complaints Lessen.
Since, tho cooler weather set in over a
week ago there have not been nearly so
many complaints filed at the office of the
City Board of Health against the garbage
collectors. However, the work has not yet
been reduced to a satisfactory system.
Over two hundred complaints have been in
vestigated by deputies in the health board’s
office and reported to the Board of Public
Works. The board has authority to assess
a line of from $1 to $.7 against the garbage
contractor in each complaint investigated
and found worthy. No fines have been as
sessed thus far. but the Board of Works ex
pects to take up the complaints in a day
or two.
Schumacher Get* the Conlruet.
The firm of John A. Schumacher & Cos.
has been awarded the contract for build
ing the new police station. The Board of
Works has had a number of bids under
consideration for a week, but yesterday de
cided to accept the proposition of the
Schumacher Company, which was several
hundred dollars lower than any of the
others. This estimate does not include tlu

two bicycles were lamps on either side oiS
a horseless carriage.
