THE NEW INSANE HOSPITALS.
Bids for Electric Lighting Received, and Con-
tracts for Furniture Awarded.

The regular monthly meeting of the Com
missioners for the Construction of Addi-
tional Insane Hospitals was held yesterday
afternoon in the State-house. The chief
matter under consideration was that of the
electric lighting of the additional hospitals
of Richmond and Evansville, and this was
referred to committee to report at the
next meeting to be held on Oct. 4. Pro-
posals therefor have been received from the
the Brush Electric-light, the United Edi-
son. the United States Electric-light. the
Western Electric-light. the Central Thomp-
son & Houston, and the Fort Wayne Jen-
new Electric-light companies. The board
awarded contracts on the basis of the bids
received ON Aug. Ii for the furniture and
, movable equipments of the Southern hos
pital. Fifty bids had been received, and
the awards were made at very satisfactory
amounts, somewhat lower than the esti-
mates.

ISSUES RAISED IN COURTS
Consumers Trust Defeated in a Suit to
Recover a Balance of Subscription.
The Company Did Not Fulfill the Conditions of
Contract, aJury Said-AnOther Phase of
the Controversy with Stockholders.

The suit of the Consumers Trust against
Sheriff King, which came up in Justice
Walpole's court yesterday. was soon dis
posed of. 1t was for 500 stock subscrip-
ton. which Mr.. King refused to pay. and a
jury of business men was put in the box to
try the case. The evidence, introduced by
the company and admitted by Mr.. King.
was to the effect that he had subscribed for
gas. This was supplemented by the admis-
sion of attorney Kappes, who represented
the company, that the subscription was
given under promise that the gas would
be taken down Hoyt avenue, in the Twenty
first ward, where the defendant has four
houses
Mr.. King testified that it was under the
promise that these houses would be sup
pied with natural gas that he had sui
scribed and piped the houses. but the COM
pany had never delivered the gas. The
Consumers Trust made the further admls-
sion that it could not keep its promise and
supply the gas, and upon this statement
men retired. and after brief consultation
returned with a verdict for Mr.. King.
The sheriff was ready and willing to do
some talking after the case had been set
tied IN his favor. He intimated that John
L. Frenzel had attempted to discipline him
and had told him that he had not acted
honorably in fighting the Trust. II told
Frenzel," said Mr.. King. warmly, that if
didn't get the gas i would spend $500 in
fighting the suit. Others who could not af-
ford to take risks in fighting the suits had
compromised, and it made FrenZel mad be-
cause refused to pay for something didn't
get" Mr.. Kings expression couldn't af-
ford to take risks in fighting the suits"
means in plain English that the defendants
went down meekly before the bull
doing methods that were attempted
upon him. There are yet upon
Justice Walpole's docket about fifty sub
scrption cases. some of which are almost
Identical with that so successfully fought
by the sheriff. Vincent Clifford. the attor-
ney, is defending six of these cases, the de-
PENDANTS being all men of small means.
One of them has made some payments on
two shares of stock, and will not only re-
sist the payment of the remainder, but will
sue to recover the money he has paid in. 1t
is hardly likely that the triumph of Mr..
King will remain undsturbed as the con-
sumers' Trust will, for the moral effect of
the matter if for no other reason, take an
appeal to higher court.

The Evansville papers have recently been
indulging in unwarranted criticisms relat-
ing to the conduct of Assistant District
Attorney Cockrum in defaulter Denny's
affair, and three of them even go SO far as
to impute to Mr.. Cockrum the winning of
a portion of the money which Denny pro-
cured from the money order department of
the Boonvills pOstoffice. The course pursued
by the assistant district attorney is GER
tainly not like that of man who had ben

the matter would naturally result in i'm

Denny, who was present while Mr.. Cock

phatically denied that the attorney had
won any money from him, and said that in
fact he never had an opportunity to do so.

OUTLOOK FOR THE FAIR.
Promise Of Large Displays, and the Best At
fractions Ever Given on the Grounds.

The indications are that il the weather
be favorable the State fair this year will be
an unqualified success and the attendance
larger by far than that in any previous
year. Several reasons why this will and
should be can be adduced. In the first place,
the premiums offered have been increased
to sums which are bound to spur on COM
petition. the race track and grounds have
never been in q better condition than they
are now. and besides these advantages. the
railroad companies are willing to accede
the one-cent rate. which will undoubtedly
have the effect of increasing the attend
ance.S On Tuesday, the oath inst. known
as children's day, the attractions will be
pony trotting. running races for the chill
dren, and grand floral display by profess
sional exhibitors On Wednesday there
Will be horseback riding for amateurs. and
grand collection of cut flowers. and on
Thursday the special feature is to be the
racing-trotting, pacing and running. On
Friday there will be races for two year
old horses. The women's department, it is
said, Will be one of the most elaborate dis
plays ever witnessed. under the auspices of
the Women's Fair Association. The prem
iums have been increased 81 900 over those
offered last year. and are calculated IN the
horse racing department to draw out the
very best blood in the country.

Missing Ordinances.

In Judge Walkers court. yesterday, in
the proceedings of the Citizens Street-rail-
way Company for injunction against the
Cable company. it was discovered that or
dinance-record book No. 6, containing or
dinances of the years from 1868 to 1867 were
missing from the city clerks office. Judge
Walker admitted printed copy of the
ordinance upon its identification by ex-
Mayor Caven as an exact copy, over the OBJ
lection of the Cable company's counsel.
City Clerk Bowlus claims that this missing

Breunig is certain that the files were COM
plete when he left the Office, but Mr.. Fan
ming, who was deputy in the term succeed
ing MI. Breunig. has no recollection of ever
having seen the book.
