The Water Compapy,s New scheme.

The water committee of the Board of Alder
men has decided to report back the contract
with the water company as passed by the Coun-
Gil, except as to the price of fre-plugs. It will
recommend an amendment, placing each plug
at $45 instead Of $50 This will reduce the ag-
gregate by So. GAO, which, with the money saved
by the free supply of water to the drinking
fountains, will give total reduction of 81, 400.
Yet as the company is not satisfied with this,
and particularly with the short-tims contract of
fourteen months, an effort by its friends in the
Board will be made to refer the whole question
to arbitrators; an action provided for in the COM
pany's charter, when it and the city cannot
agree If this is done, the whole matter can be
continued for months, as the Council will not
recede from its position and hence the company
will get the benefit of the old contract, which
does not expire until new one is made The
ground for arbitration is that the water people
will neither accept the contract adopted by
Council nor the amendment proposed by the AL
dermep. Their claim 10 that the only money
they make is off the city's contract.

BLOWN INTO SMALL PIECES.
The Boiler Of a c., II. & |. Locomotive
EXplOdes with Terrific Force.
Fragments of the Engine Thrown a Distance
of Three Hundred YardS-A Fireman's
Miraculous Escape from Instant Death.

Passenger locomotive No. $50, on the c., n.
u l. railroad, exploded with terrific force near
the Michiean-road crossing last evening at few
minutes before o'clock Passenger train No.
81 leaves the Union Depot every evening at 5:30
o'clock The train had just been made up, and
was almost ready to back down to the Urion
Depot when the engine boiler exploded. The
train was in charge of conductor Ed
Padger, with Michael Keller, engineer, and
Fred Coburn, fireman. The steam guage marked
one hundred and thirty pounds, when Mr.. Keel
er told the fireman he was going into the
baggage-car to see the conductor and to be ready
to back down when he returned. The fireman, who
had just finished cleaning his lamps, was work
ing with his back to the boiler when the explo-
sion occurred. The entire rear end of the boiler
was blown off, and not vestige of the cab re-
manned. The escape of the fireman was
miraculous. Not a single particle of the
boiler struck him, but the jar of the
explosion threw him against the tender. and his
head struck An iron bar, cutting an ugly cash in
his forehead and another under his eye. He was
also slightly scalded on the neck and shoulders
His wounds were dressed in residence in the
vicinity, and in half an hour he was able to be
taken in an ambulance to his home the cor
ner of Grove and Huron streets.
The explosion is compared by the residents in
the neighborhood to the report of can
non. The engine is almost total
wreck. One drive wheel was cracked,
a driving rod broke, and the conclusion broke
the heavy steel rails under the engine in several
places, and drove the ties and track into the
ground. The tower on the rear end of the
boiler was carried a distance of two hundred
yards and set down in a vacant lot; and large
pieces of the locomotive were carried distance
of two and three hundred yards, where they
plowed into the ground. One large
piece Of the boiler went through
the roof of William Chase's residence
while the tops of several houses were more OR
less damaged One woman complained that she
had just hung out big washing and piece of
iron cut her rope and dropped all the clothing
into the dirt The clothing of the engineer and
fireman was in the boxes under the cab seats,
and after the explosion was found hanging in
pieces on the telegraph wires and poles.
The explosion does not appear to have been
the result of carelessress, but rather on account
of weak and worn out boiler. The engine was
an old one, and railroad men say should nave
been taken off the road long while ago. It has
have been sent in again shortly. The fragments
were all carried upward, and the tender and cars
were not damaged in the least.

The Building Inspection Ordinance.

It is proposed to revive the ordinance intro
duced in Council last June, relative to the ap-
pointment of building inspector. 1t was read
the first time and referred to committee, which
held one meeting, without coming to an agree
ment as to the necessity for its passage Coun-
Gilman Mack favored it, but his felow-commit-
teemen, Dunn and Thalman, did not feel like
increasing the number Of Offices, although the
ordinance limits the inspectors remuneration to
the fees he would receive in making inspections.
No report of the committees views has ever been
made, and the ordinance still remains on this
order Of reference.

DISGUISED, BUT NOT DISCOURAGED.
The Civil-Service Reformers Conclude They
Have Made Nuisances of Themselves

State Senator Foulke, who has just returned
from Watch Hill, r. l.. in answer to inquiries.
said to Journal reporter at the Denison House,
last night "Yes, was at the civil jervice re-
form meeting at Newport. I went there to set
forth the condition of the cvil-service reform in
Indiana, and the manner in which President
Cleveland's order in regard thereto has been
obeyed-the skillful manipulation of the post
Office under that eminent civil-service reformer.
MIR. Aquiila Jones. The association appeared to be
rather surprised at the workings of the reform
in Indiana. We seemed to have company in
Maryland Mr.. Bonaparte, the representive
from Maryland, stated to the meeting that the
association had been emnently successful in
one thing and only one thing, so far as he knew
and that was in making great nuisance of it's
elf, to everybody, and particularly to the ad-
mnistration. The ar pointments in Maryland
had been uniformly bad. They had not been able
to procure any relief nor do anything, except to
make themselves dsagreeable. There was a
very full report of the course Ct the present ad-
ministration in regard to the workings of the
civil service in Indiana, prepared by Mr. Lucius B.
Swift, containing about two hundred pages. This
was submitted to the association and referred to
a select committee Of seven, who will report on
it this month or the first of next The admins
tration of nearly every Office in Indiana was
carefully reviewed in this report and the matter
will be brought to the attention of the President
personally, after which it will certainly be pub
lished."
Senator Foulke says that Secretary Manning
is at Watch Hill His health does not seem to
change much. He appears to be on one side,
and it is hardly likely that he will be able to go
back to the Treasury in October. He himself
thinks he has improved some this summer.

ADJUSTMENTS.

OPENING OF THE GRAND-JAAiES-wAIN
The opening of the Grand Operah last
evening, by the Louis JamesMa Vain wright
company. in Shakspeare's much Ado About
Nothing" was an suspicious beginning of sue
cessful season, there being fair-sized audience
in attendance despite the oppressiveness of the
evening and the threatening character of the
weather. But for the prospect of a down-pour,
which seemed imminent at about the time the
crowd usually starts for the theater, it is more
than likely that the house would nave been filed.
AS 1t was. very nice audience gathered and
were delighted with the alterations and improve
ments made in this popular place of amusement,
mention of which has already been made in these
columns. Those who were there were not dis
appointed in the performance given, but took oc-
casion to attest their qualification at the success
of the ambitious young actor. Louis James, now
seeking to pave his way to public favor in legiti-
mate drama He is man of fine presence,
easy carriage, and speaks his lines with force
and naturalness that give promise of q fine
future. His Benedict was very good charac-
terlZation, and he was accorded hearty encore
at the end OF the third act as was, also, Miss
Wainwright, both of whom were received with
every evidence ot favor. Miss Waiawright is
already popular here, having appeared as lead
ing lady in some of the best companies in the
country. Her Beatrice is full of spirit and worry
cleverly balanced, so that she makes fine i'm
preston. The supporting company was good as
a whole, while the costumine was elegant every
thing being in the best OF taste and fitted to the
play 1t is safe TO say that mono left the house
last night in any bnt the best of humor feeling
that they had witnessed very creiitable pro-
duction of this popular comedy
Tonight Sheridan Knowles's "Vireiuius" is to
be the bill, with Mr. James in the title role and

we'll spoken of in their production of this in

The Feeling Among Miners at Brazil.

The Feeling Among Miners at Brazil.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
BRAZIL Ind, Sept. 9.-The miners, operators
and citizens here generally indorse the refusal
of the National Federated Association of Miners
to merge into the Miners Assembly of knights
Of Labor. The Federated Association originated
here year ago, among miners tired of strikes
and fully aware of what they were doing The
arbitration conference held between miners and
operators resulted in organizing the federation
in Indiana at Terre Haute in October, 1885,
The following February West Virginia, Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Illinois joined in a national
organization, at Columbus, o.. and adopted a
yearly scale of prices, to hold till May l, 1887.
those States where the federation has obtained.
The miners have found steady work in keeping
with the dull times and at prices agreed upon by
themselves. This has not pleased the Knights
of Labor. which organization has done what it
could to absorb the federation. Last May, in ST.
Louis a miners assembly of knights was or
gained, and it was urged throughout this dis.
trict that the Knights and the federation were
not so very different. Since the former are
quite strong here. the latter became effectually
disorgauized. They rallied, however, during
the summer, az a result of a visit from Mr.. Nc
Laughlin, of Illinois. and became as strong as
ever. On Aug. 10 initial steps were taken at a
representative meeting of the two orders at
Columbus, for consolidation, and it was decided
to refer the matter for final action to the meet
ing at Indianapolis.
