The Kentucky Central Strike.

CINcINNATI June The strike on the Ken
lucky Central railroad is virtually at an end. 1t
only included the brakemen and freight con-
ductors, and has only had the effect of stopping
freight trains A committee of engineers who
went to Richmond to confer with General Man
ager Smith, of the Chesapeake & Ohio, which
operates the Kentucky Central, has returned
with report that they agree to accept the 10
per cent reduction proposed by the Chesapeake
q Ohio, upon being satisfied that the state of
business justified it. They do this the more
readily because, two years ago. when the engin-
GERS asked an advance of twenty five cents day
General Manager Smith granted it and more
by making the advance forty eight cents day.
No overtures have been made in Covington this
morning by the striking freight men, but the
freight officers have received orders to receive
freight, and they expect to have trains moving
tomorrow.
At Paris Ky, yesterday, the railroad men
attempted 10 start an engine, with the help of
the police, but were prevented by the strikers.
To-Day eighteen Of the strikers were arrested on
three charges-trespass, felony and confederating
together-and in default of bond went to Jail
Their trial is set for tomorrow. Assistant
Superintendent Yerrington OF the Lexington
division of the Chesapeake 81 Ohio, was arrested
at the instance of the strikers, on charge of
carrying concealed weapons.

Mr.. Nudge came forward amid much enthusiasm,

Inc COntracCS Tor the New insane Hospitals.
To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal
The Journal to-day gives list of six or eight
contracts awarded by the commissioners of the
new State hospitals for the insane I think no
tiee should be taken of the fact that all this
work. amounting to over $100, 600, goes outside
of the State, at time when there are thousands
Of Indiana mechanics idle and unable to find
work. Not dollar of this money, expended for
machinery and iron work, will go to Indiana me-
chanies, although they bid on every branch of
the work, and are prepared to execute the work
as well and cheaply as the foreign bidders. 1t
would appear, from looking over the specifications
and the awards. that the commissioners in every
way Disseminated against their own State
Take, for instance, the boiler contract, which
was awarded to New York city firm. venture
TO say that the boiler makers of this State are
equal in skill to any in the United States, and
that the boilers turned out by them are equal in
every respect to any made IN the world; and yet
the contract goes to New York firm, whose
proposal was not only higher than any of the
Indiana bidders, but was much higher than any
other bid for boilers that was received These
boilers, for which the State propose to pay 25 or
30 per cent more than Indiana boilers would
cost, are designed for anthracite coal, and will
/ think, prove a failure if Western soft coal is
used
The contract for steam pumping machinery
was awarded to a St Louis man, who will have
it constructed in New York. The steam pump
ing machinery manufactured in Indiana is sold
in every State in the Union and has very high
reputation, and yet it is not good enough for our
commissioners, who must send to an Eastern
machine-shop for this work. The Indiana manu-
facturers furnished photographs and full deserip-
ton of what they proposed to furnish all clearly
set out. The st. Louis bidder had nothing
whatever to illustrate the kind of vertical pump
ing engine he proposed to furnish, except an I'M
ineligible sketch, which shows no details and
conveys but one idea, and that is, that the
engine is something entirely different from what
the specifications call for.
The plumbing contract went to Pittsburg

The Last of Series of Exhibition Games Won
by the Visitors.
The fifth and last of the present series of exhi-
hilton games Of base ball. between the Indian
apolis and Milwaukee clubs, was played yester-
day afternoon at the Seventh-street grounds,
and the 800 spectators were treated TO the I'M
usual spectacle of seeing their favorites lose by
q score of seven to four Burns and Stockwell
did the battery work for the visitors, and Casey
and Mcclure performed similar service for the
home team. Both pitchers were hit rather free
~ but the visitors succeeded in punching their
hits, and this, with rank decisions by Umpire
Sullivan and costly errors by Donnelly and Nc
Query, won them the game. There were no
special features of interest, aside from the brill
liant fielding on both sides, and Moriarity and
Alvord's long three-base drives. Thompson
came in for his usual heavy hit to right field
fence, but in attempting to reach third base on

NOTES.

John Brennan will umpire the Kansas City
series of games with the home team next week.
The Kansas City club will be here next Satur-
day and Sunday, which will be their first appear
&nce on the home grounds.
The home team left for Toledo last night and
to-day will open a series of championship games
with Dan. o Learys Avengers"
The next game on the home grounds will be
played next Thursday afternoon between the
big batters, of Buffalo, and the home club.
The Milwaukees left last night for Keokuk,
where they open series of championship games
with the new member Of the league this after
noon.
Western League is doomed and will not last
Milwaukee are the only cities that have fur
nished paying audiences since the season
opened, and the Omaha club was compelled to
yield up the ghost. 1t is now said that Cleve-
land and Toledo will shortly follow, and this
means dissolution of the league, for it will be
next to impossible to fill their places. The di-
rectors Of the Indianapolis club, however, seem
to be resting in calm serenity over the situation,
and this again gives color to the report that they
are shortly TO be asked to take the place of De-
troit in the National League. Of course, it is
their policy and intention to sustain the Western
League as long possible, but they do not in
tend to be left" in the event of dissolution.
From the tone of the Detroit Press it can almost
certainly be stated their club is the of
disbandment, the patronage having fallen off to
almost nothing. In that event Indianapolis has
been assured of the vacancy.

of the meeting was to ascertain how many work
men were willing to cut loose from the the sheet

Several manufacturers claim that their work
men have signifed willingness to join move

cured to start the mills in the other departments,
the sheet mills will be allowed to remain idle

CHARLOTTESVILLE, June 5-The day opened
rather gloomy, a heavy rain having fallen during
the night. The prompt decisions and rulings of
the judges have had the desired effect of putting
damper upon all forms of jockeying, and the
starter has shown no favor to anyone, but has
imposed fines for every offense. The fair
grounds present fine appearance. In the 2:34
class, to day, there were six entries, with $500
purse, and in the free-for-all pace there were
ten entries, with $500 purse. F. NJ. Busby, of
Lebanon, president of tho Indiana Trotters' and
PAGERS Breeding Association, is in attendance.
A large crowd was in attendance, and the
races were good though not up to those of
Wednesday, There were no fines imposed to-
day, and the races seemed to be conducted in
fair manner. Money changed hands freely.
