NO PROOF OF CORRUPTION.
Contra ctor Green Fails to Substantiate His
Charges Against Council Committee.

The special committee, composed OF Messrs.
Cummings Hicklen and DUMP, appointed at
the last meeting of the Council to investigate
the open charge made by contractor John
Green that there was ring among the street
contractors and that outsiders could not get
public work. met yesterday afternoon in the
city clerks Office, and after making a thorough
investigation, decided that there was no founda-
ton for the charges The specific complaint of
Mr. Green was that his bid for certain street
pairs submitted at the meeting of the Council on
JAN 2 was the lowest, but that after the bids
had been read, and before they went to the
awarding committee, the bid Of David Haywood,
lower than any others, slipped in, and he
was consequently awarded the contract for the
work Mr. Greene said to the committee that
he was at the council meeting and did not hear
the bid of Haywood read, and for that reason
alone he preferred the charges. He was asked
by the committee to make an affidavit that Mr..
Haywood's bid was not read at the council meet
ing, but this he refused to do.
Mr.. Haywood. himself, submitted an affidavit
to the effect that his bid was handed to VIM T.
Phipps of the street commissioners Office, be-
fore the session of the Council began. and that it
was read Mr. Phipps correlated the affidavit,
and a half-dozen contractors who were present
at the Council meeting when the bids were read
testified that they heard Dir. Haywood's bid
read. There being no evidence that there was
any corruption, the committee framed a report
to that effect.

WILL SHIP TO SOUTH AMERICA.
Hereford Cattle Breeders of Indiana, Illinois
and Ohio Form Pool.

A small but wealthy company of Hereford cat
tie breeders in England has for the past eighteen
months shipped large number of that breed to
the Argentine States. It's operations have
been quietly conducted, much so that the
prices were not obtainable by the breeders of the
Herefords elsewhere Some weeks ago it was
suggested to the Indiana breeders that if the
English company could continue the ship
ments for many months there must be profit
it and that it would be to their
interest to undertake the business. After many
consultations a pool was formed by the leading
Hereford cattle men of Indiana, Illinois, and
one Ohio breeder TO make the venture of ship
ment to Buenos Ayres. These gentlemen met
at the New Denison Hotel, last night and per-
fected their arrangements for the experime ntal
shipment of forty-eight head of Herefords now at
the stock yards. The cattle, in charge of Geo.
Lee, of Aurora. ILL.,. will leave. tonight,
for Newport News, where they will
be shipped to South America. It will
cost each of the breeders interested about $780,
and while profit is expected on the venture,
it is thought competitive trade can be opened
up in the interest of Western cattemen- The
pool is made up of Adams Earl. Lafayette, and
Fowler s. Vanatta, Fowler, Ind; c. NJ GILBERT
son. Newman; Thomas Clark, Beecher, and G.
w. Henry, Chicago, ILL.,, and II. II. Clough,
Valeria, 0. These gentlemen are not only lead
ing Hereford breeders, but are representative
business men in their respective localities.

which will be seriously felt in the promotion of
their purposes and cannot easily be repaired,
and each member of the executive committee
has lost q friend as well as an able coadjutor."

A LIVELY REALTY MARKET.
The Last Week.-Mrs. Been the Busiest Dealers
Have Had for Several Months.

The real estate agents, who have all along pre-
dicted that the new year would bring renewed
activity in the realty market. are feeling much
pleased over the business that was transacted
during the last week. 1t was the busiest week
they have had for several months, and the sales
very greatly exceeded the expectations of all
who have been watching the market. The
clerks in the recorders Office have not been able
to record the deeds that came in, and if the
squirt in the market continues more assistance
will have to be secured. During the week there
were ninety-nine deeds fled with the recorder.
representing total con eideration of $163, 425 g.
There were but Two or three weeks last year
when q greater number of deeds were recorded.
but as the considerations were all small the
total valuation of the property that changed
hands is not exceptionally large. The bulk of
unimproved property, and three-fourths
of the deeds recorded represent single
outlets in additions to the city. The buyers
seem to have no particular choice among the
suburban subdivisions, as they all offer good in
ducements to persons who have money to invest
Property. however, is held higher in some di-
rections from the city than buyers think is COM
mensurate with the advantages offered. aud for
that reason some difficulty is experienced in
finding purchasers.
Hauehville and West indianapolis are expert
encing their share of the boom, and landowners
in the vicinity of each suburb preparing to
subdivide more of their land There seems to

and dealers say for that reason their property Is
meeting with more ready SALE Property
in the southern part of the city is also meeting

also well represented on the deed record
Considerable desirable building property north
of the city is changing hands. but dealers say
that the owners of the land in that vicinity are
placing their valuations too high to meet ready
ma rket.
Although there is very brisk market deal
ers do not predict any thing like boom. They
anticipate steady, reliable market throughout
the spring and summer.
There were but few transfers during the week
that called for an exchange of over So, 900.
Horace r. Allen sold to Harriet L. Wright

streets for &c. 500; Charles A Dryer decided to

H. Schmidt and Augustus Keifer exchanged
property on South Delaware street, each being
valued at $40, 900. Quite a number of farms
changed hands at slightly advanced prices.
