THE NEW WORK-HOUSE.
Sheriff Carter Is Opposed to 1t, Because He
Will Lose $500 a Month.

Sheriff Carter does not favor the work-house.
He thinks its construction has burdened the
county with an expense that is not warranted
by present needs in caring for minor criminals.
The cost Of running this institution, he also
says, will not save anything, but will add to the
yearly expenditures. He thinks the Jail, with
some alterations. could be made to answer all
necessities of this kind for years to come.
1.-THE work-house apparently worries US a
great deal!" was the reportorial query
you would be worried too, if you had to
consider losing about $500 per month"
what do you know about the prospective
appointments for the management of the insti-
tution?"
Nothing The county commissioners,
though, want to hurry the work on to compile
ton, SO they can select the superintendent and
other officers The commissioners term you
know, ends on the first of December. They
think their appointments will be good for two
years. l don't know much about the law in that
respect, but believe it will not hold. I think
if the commissioners make the appointments
will be able to overturn them when the
Democratic members come in. ] was foolish in
not trying to have had in the work house bill a
clause placing the institution under control of
the sheriff. With my force out there the expense
of additional service can be saved. Perhaps
will try to have the Jail removed to the work
house."
But OF course you can do nothing with
Republican board of commissioners"
mo. They, however have only few months
to serve.n

C0TTRELL AND REFORM.
The Democratic Candidate, with Sim CoyS
Aid, Giving Shape to His Campaign.

That the campaign for Cottrell and reform is
shaping itself forcibly, eighteen saloons doing
business last night, counted out of twenty-five,
in ten minutes walk, sufficiently prove. At all
these shops curtains were down, lights burning
brightly, with here and there blinking of glasses
and moderately toned voices, indicating that the
barkeepers were on duty. Again. the intelli-
gence that Sim Coy visited every precinct yes
terday from IL o'clock noon until half-past 10
o'clock at night, shows that his faction intends
to push the fight CottreH spent
the day within the limits of the
Fourteenth ward, corralling as many voters as
possible, to hear his pleas in behalf of the
peculiarly good government of the city he pro-
poses to give in an extremely liberal interpreta-
ton of enforcing the laws 1t is presumed that
Coy is managing the campaign, for he implies
that the Democratic committee has done his
bidding so far Said he, "We have meeting
tomorrow night (Monday) to appoint an execu-
tive committee

With the smile of self-complacent man who
knows all about it, he said II don't know"

tage of Doubts About His Guilt and Escapes.

A valuable coat was stolen Saturday night
from Mayors pawn shop, No. 1913 South Illinois
street The thief took it to the Union Depot
parcel-room, and got check for it. Yesterday
while Officer Weibel was on the watch for him, a
man called for the coat, and presented the check.
He was promptly arrested. At the station house
there seemed to be some doubt about the case
GU account of the prisoners sincerity in assert
ing his innocence. He offered several good ref
erences, and the officers did not think it neces-
sary to keep close eye on him. For fifteen or
twenty minutes he had clear course for escape
but he did not avail himself of it. A moment or
two afterwards, though, he walked out on Ala

number of police were waiting in the turkeys
Office for roll-call, Tim Clarke entertained them
and others with one of his fascinating stories.
Officer Farrell had his attention divided between
the story and the examination of revolver in
his hand He was advised to handle the
weapon carefully, but some one who knew all
about it assured him it was not loaded Officer
Farrell said he was certain there was nothing in
it, and to confirm his certainty the revolver sent
a cartridge into the wall. 1t missed Martin Hugg

THE MAN OF GOD.
The Topic of Rev. |. II. McConnell's Discourse
Yesterday at Roberts Park Church.

The two Sunday services at Roberts Park
Church since the return of the pastor. Rev. l. a.
Mcconnell, from his vacation have been largely
attended, and especially yesterday. The sermon
in the morning was unusually interesting, and
the congregation was moved by the enthusiastic
appeal, many responses being heard from the
members in different parts of the church. The
text of the sermon was from II Timothy, iii, 16
and 17-"All Scripture is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for doctrine for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly
furnished unto all good works"
In concluding his discourse, Mr.. Mcconnell
said: There are wonderful possibilities within

a Fine Bit of Sarcasm.


The nomination of Tom Cottrell for mayor by
the Democrats of Indianapolis last night was the
very thing to have done. He has always been
an enthusiastic party worker, and has never
enjoyed any of the fruits up to this time. We
have known him for twenty years, and in all
that time he has been working like hero for
the Democratic party The convention
that met at Mozart Hall last night did
a just and prudent thing in recog-
nizing this Ole pack horse for the
party. He is MAI. D me people and will make
a splendid mayor. The nomination furnishes a
pointer to the vacillating and cowardly course of
the State officers, who have been lacking in sand
for the past two years in the performance of their
duty. The Democrats of indianapolis mean to
say by the nomination of Tom Cottrell that they
do not approve of the course OF Murphy or of the
State officers. All of these men should take a
tumble and do a little something now for the
Democratic party, as they have done enough for
our friends, the enemy.

ST. LOUIS, Sept 6-The last championship
game of the season that the Browns play on
their home grounds was witnessed to day by
one Of the largest crowds of the year. 1t took
ten innings to decide the contest. neither side
scoring in the first nine innings. The contest
was quite exciting though the batting on both
sides was toe weak to afford many opportunities
for brilliant playing. Driszel, the Browns
new catcher. played an excellent game, throw
ing to bases beautifully. Hits by Caruthers and
Driszel, steal, passed ball, and an error of
Reccius gave the Browns their two TALES in the
