Ready TO Remove Republicans.

John Riley is one of the trustees of the
Institute for the Education of the Blind,
also master of transportation for the Chi
cago division of the Big Four road. Why
Mr.. Riley was chosen as trustee of an edu-
cational institution at SO late day in the
nineteenth century is a great deal more of
puzzle than Pigs in Clover" If civil
service procession were to make street
parade here tomorrow it is not likely that
Mr.. Riley would be called upon to act as
drum major and march in front of the
band. THE Journal" says this trustee in
conversation with reporter, may kick all
it wants to on the changes made in the
Blind Asylum. Pm no civil-service man.
and every time see a Republican head pop
up I'll cut it Oft and put Democrat on
every time" One of the heads that Mr..
Riley wants to cut off belongs to DR.. Stone,
who is, aud always has been. Democrat;
the other is that of Miss Loomis, the gov
erness, a lady who, the superintendent says,
is almost invaluable and has the love and
respect of every one in the institution.

specter of persons

that plan. There is nothing to

of the committee. ''by holding an early

ing late one. Now that the committee
work is well in hand, it would be good
deal better to hold the city con-
vention ten days or two weeks in advance
of the election, and have q short. sharp and
decisive campaign than to hold the conven-
ton now for the sake of having the nom-
nations month earlier. All the prelim-
mary work will go on steadily from this
time forward, under the direction of the
committees. and no injury will result
to the organization from holding off the
city nominations. 1t will be merely the
campaign over nearly two months, instead

InsOlent Thieves.

The fruit thieves of the South Side-by
no means confined to street Arabs and weed
patch Bedouins-have become so annoying
by the persistence and insolence of their
robberies that some of the residents have
cut down their fruit trees and uproOted
their vines to rid themselves of the intoler-
able nuisance. Frequently, when the men
of house are away at work, the thieves
openly enter fruit lot or mount the fence
and plumber the trees and vines. When re-
monstrated with by the helpless women,
they tell them. as they did the wife of an
old newspaper man recently. to go to =;

CAUGHT IN A SALOON.
Two Men Who Are Supposedt to Have Committed
Several Thefts Here on Cornerstone Day.

While the people were away from their
homes attending the laying of the corner
stone of the soldiers monument several
thefts occurred in different parts of the
city, and among many complaints received
by the police of this kind was one lodged
by Mr.. hogan, residing on West Wash
ington street. who estimated his loss
at $50. Yesterday police officers kuntz
and Kirby went into q saloon on
State street and found therein two men.
who gave their names as Patrick Conway
and Tom Savage. They also said that they
were painters from Chicago. One of them
had in his possessionAa knapsack, which,
upon being examined by the officers. proved
to contain a quantity of the goods which
Mr.. Hogan had complained of having been
stolen from him. Both men were arrested
and taken to the station, where they are
held on charge Of burglary.

many of these beautiful fabrics are con-

them (Pattern Dresses and Novelties es-
pecially), we have but one dress of each,
consequently they will not be common,
which is certainly very great advant-

COUNCILMEN AND ALDERMEN.

An Evening Devoted to Routine Business,
with but Little Discussions.
The City Council last night spent nearly
four hours in the transaction of the routine
business that was unbroken by over the
usual amount of discussion upon subjects
both pertinent and otherwise. The bond
of the Western Paving and Supply Com
pany, fixed at $4,000. on the contract
awarded for paving Pennsylvania street.
between Ohio and Washington, with
asphalt, was approved. The sureties are.
William d. Hitchcock, Amos H. Perkins
ana Volney w. Foster. of Chicago. and
Samuel III. Shearer, of this city. The bond
of the Indianapolis Brush Electric-light
and Power Company for $4,000, by which
it's acceptance of the general electric-light
ordinance is to be assured, was approved,
with John Caven and Eugene Metler as
sureties.
The special committee to which was re-
ferred the remonstrance against the re-
building of Z. Rauh & Sons fertilizng
factory. on the Belt road. near East street,
reported in favor of making no opposition
to the project. Two hundred residents of
the vicinity had been examined by the
committee, and of these 10 claimed that
before the establishment was destroyed by
fire it was not a nuisance, but that for the
past few weeks the OdOr from the ruins had
been very offensive. Thirty claimed very
persistently that it was and is q nuisance.
Councilman Kelly thought that if the Coun-
Gil should accept the report it would not be
acting advisedly. for he said the factory

Gilman Hicklin was in favor of taking any
course that would rid the Council of the
question, as it was matter over which it
had no control. The report was received,
without discussion, on q vote of Ii to s.
Yeas, Burns, Dunn. Elliott. Finch, Casper,
Swain, Thalman and Wilson; nays. Cum
mings, Darnell, Kelley, Markey,. McClell-
and, OCOnnor, StuckmeYer and TruSler.
Councilman Swain introduced special
motion that the Council express its sympa-
thy with Edward Dunn. in his late bereave-
ment, in the death of his wife. 1t was car
ried unanimously by a standing vote. The
motion to allow the city employees their va
cation yesterday, with regular pay, which
came from the Board of Aldermen as an
amendment to the Councils orr glnal action,
was defeated.
After arranging for the voting places for
the municipal election and appointing
judges and inspectors, which are given
III anotner column, considerable Time was
spent in considering the various appro-
priation ordinances. Among them was one
providing for fountain and driven well
in the park adjoining the grounds of the
Institute for the Education of the Blind.
An ordinance providing for the running of
an electric railroad from West indianapolis
to this city on twenty years lease was
referred to the committee on railroads. An

Council then adjourned.

from j. f. Walker, Chief of the Bureau of
Navigation, stating that the sailors engaged
in the war for the suppression of the re-
bellion were not apportiOned to the differ
