oglesby Confines His Remarks to rifles.

SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 20.-At the meeting of the
Illinois Tile-makers' Association here, to-day,
Hon. Richard j. Ogleshy, who was expected to
deliver the address of welcome, said he had &C
cepted the invitation to do SO under the supposi-
ton that he would be Governor when the asso-
citation convened. The time fixed by the consti-
tuition for the Governor elect to take the-oath of
office was one week ago yesterday, but owing to
the deadlock in the Legislature preventing an
organization of that body, he has not yet been
sworn in. After alluding at some length to his
awkward position, Mr. Oglesby confined his re-
marks strictly to the subject of tile-draining
He made no address of welcome

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MUNcIE, Jan. 20.--Tn the City council last
night after the transaction of other routine bust
ness, an ordinance was read granting the fran
ehise of the city to a company, and accepting
and agreeing to contract with them for the build

accordance with the provisions of the ordinance,
which was passed under suspension of the rules,
by unanimous vote, the mayor and clerk
Of the city then and there signed
and entered into contract with
Abbott L. Johnson T. F. Rose, S. A. Wilson
1andS NJ. Highlands for the. building of the
works. The contract is very yoluminous docu-
ment and very specific. 1t provides that the
contractors shall proceed at once to organize
stock company with capital of 100000, and
shall have the works completed by the first day
of january, 1887. The city is to be supplied
with eighty five hydrants for fire and slushing
purposes and water for all public buildings, at
cost of So cooper year This apparent hasty action
has caused no little discomfort among the people.
