attributed largely their trouble in securing at

counsel seems to- increase instead of diminish

than they were last week. 1t is now ascertained
to certainty that they counted on Senator Voor
hees, but so far Henry Span, who will appear for
himself, is thought to be the only one who can
be relied on. Another disturbing factor is the
fact that District Attorney Sellers persists in
trying only four. He follows this plan. IL is
understood, because he better concentrate
the evidence towards convicting the four than
by having it complicated with facts which relate
to the other defendants solely But it is sug-

Methodist Ministers Oppose Changing the
Restrictions Relating to Membership.

The advisabilty Of changing the present sys-
tenn of admitting persons into full membership
of the church after probation of six months
was discussed by Revs. Tevis and Dashiei at the
meeting of the Methodist ministers yesterday
morning. 1t asserted that the restriction
often had the effect to keep people ont of the
church. and the opinion was expressed by both
speakers that modification was advisable, but
others did not agree with this view. A heated
discussion followed resulting in the disclosure
that Revs. Tevls and Dashiell had suggested a
change in the old system simply for the purpose
OF exciting discussion. Among the gentlemen
in attendance was Rev. E. B. Rawls, of Green's
burg, former pastor of Edwin Ray Church, who
spoke briefly. expressing pleasure in again
meeting his old associates in religious work

EXCEEDED THE LAWFUL LIMIT.
Why Secretary Griffins Voted Against Paying
the Insane Hospitals December Expenses.

The State board for auditing the accounts of
the itemized statement of the Insane Hospitals
vouchers except two for the salary of Harrison
and Gapen, as trustees Of the institution, on
which the board deferred action until advice
concerning them could be obtained from Attor-
ney-general Kitchener. The vouchers showed
an expenditure of $23, 3O9 81. after deduct
ing the items of salary, which is
81, 634 10 in excess of the amount appropriated
by law for the maintenance CT the institution in
any one month. In consequence the board
dered that the Auditors warrant should be for
the sum of S21 666 65 for December expenses, in
addition to which 81. 643 IL should be paid out of
the amount the institution lawfully n
titled to receive in November. Secretary Grit
fin objected to this action and voted against it.
In support of his objection he calls attention TO
Section 2761, of the Revised Statutes. relating
to the limit of allowances, which reads as fol-
lows:
In making said monthly allowances it shall
be the duty of~the officers, aforesaid author
lied to make the same, not to exceed in any one
month one-twelfth of the amount Appropriated
for the current expenses of the same in
stitution for the last preceding year
for which an appropriation shall have
been made by the General Assem- bly,
the total amount to which the institution IS en-
titled on account of maintenance for December
is 81, 666 60, onetwefth of the total appropria-
ton. He interprets the section as limiting a9d
prohibiting the payment of a greater amount in
any one month.
The boards allowances to other institutions
were as follows: Blind Asylum. maintenance,

THE CITY'S GAS CONTRACT.
Alderman Wright Thinks that the Present
Cost of Street Lights Is Much Too High.

The new members of the Board of Aldermen
are yet timid about attempting to do much for
their constituents, and consequently there
wasn't much business Of importance transacted
at the regular meeting last night. All the mem
bers were present but Clarke and Taylor.
very large batch of unimportant resolutions
from the Council were concurred in. and the
regular appropriations passed. petition was
received from L. II. JONES' superintendent of
the city schools requesting that the High-school
be allowed to have the use of Tomlinson Hall
for Professor Proctor's lecture the 18th inst !,
for less than the regular rental price. and it was
agreed that as the lecture was for the benefit of
the school library fund, it should be rented
at 500.
President Wright called the attention of the
board to the paragraph in Mayor Denny's an
nual message relating to the contract of the city
with the Indianapolis Gas-ligfit and Coke Com
pauy for the lighting of the streets, which ex-
pires in March. II desire to join with the
Mayor in his request" said he. ''and ask that
the committee on public light of this board at
once begin the consideration of this very i'm
portant question. All of the various means and
methods of street lighting ought to be carefully
and thoroughly investigated with reference TO
the best light and the cheapest price. At no
time should the city pay an extra price for any
service or product, and particularly at this time.
Considering the citys financial condition, caused
by its limited resources. an extra price for

believe these questions ought to be considered
in joint session of the committees of the Board
of Aldermen and Common Council, and there

The new members were reminded by Alder
man Rail that resolution was pending COMPEL
ing the Citizens Street railway Company to put
rear platforms on all their cars, and by motion
from him the resolution called from the
clerks desk and referred to the committee on
railroads, The committee was instructed to
port this resolution at the next meeting, when

Across the upper arch of the stage the

THE Democratic lying machine is being
oiled up and is already turning out such
barefaced falsehoods that were their
effrontery less bold it would cause a
blush of shame. AS usual the Cleveland
Plain Dealer is one of the fore most of the
Democratic liars, and it insults the in
telligence of Its readers by asserting
that "Mr. Harrison's aristOcratic birth
and life associations have warped his
mind in favor of the trusts and railroad
syndicates and blinded him to the real
wants and needs of the people," Gen
eral Harrison's grandparents lived in a
cabin IN the woods, and the General be-
gan life poor boy with scarcely the
comforts about him, and since that time
to the present, he has been in direct
contact with the masses of people. The
thousands focking to his doors TO con-
graduate him is answer sufficient for all
such SANDERS. The p. ID. proceeds TO
say that General Harrison has been
driven to seek counsel of Gould and
Carnegie. 1t is this class of men, the
chief promoters of trusts, who surround
and give aid and comfort to Harrison,
and would, IN case he should be elected,
be his chief advisers" Mr.. Carnegie
has for months been in Europe; and it
Is matter of doubt, whether General
Harrison ever met him, or had any
communication with i'm. Gould is an
avowed advocate of Cleveland's election,
and at no time and no place have "the
promoters of trusts" been called ito aid
and comfort Harrison" Possibly such
methods of falsehood and SANDER are
invoked, to blind people TO the notori-
GUS character of those in charge of the
Democratic campaign.
