Saturday, April 30 p. m.-By the operations OF
the New-Iork Sub-Trcasury in the week ended
last night the associated banks lost Sl34,62S
The weekly bank statement published to-day
showed an average loss in cash of Si,' 60,oOo
This result WAS better than ought TO have been
cypectcd when it is remembered that the present
statement practically represents the condition OF
the banks week ago. The average loss OF legal
tcndcr notes was less than S3,2j0,O0O, while d
much heavier decrease was anticipated III conse-
oucncr of the large exports of gold last week and
the general uncertainty about the monetary sI'ua-
ton Besides the loss of cash shown III the pres
ent statement the only other feature was further
contraction of loans by S3,O0s,100. Thcse changes
affected reasonably the item of deposits, although
the decrease of Ss,569.s00 was larger by about
$50 600 than they demanded The result OF all
the changes was Il loss in the surplus reserve OF
only S2627, $50 and the banks still hold III eX-

stocks which known only hy rcputati 'n abroad,

MONUMENT SIDE GROUPS.
MacMonnies May Do Them-,Tie ApbrO-
priatiOn Now Large Enough.

The monument commission will meet on
Nov 49, when it is expected that the con-
tract for the side groups of War and
Peace" will be let. The resolution intro
duced by Mr.. English at the last meeting
indicated that the board had come to one
conclusion upon the Importance of making
an ample appropriation for these bronzes,
SO that the works may be of the highest
type of art. The amount of money thus
to be expended is equal to the bid of Fred
erick MacMonnies, but whether he or some
other artist will receive the contract is
not yet known. MacMonnies is now in
Paris, but the board hopes to have some
communication with him before the next
meeting
An artist who has watched the develop
ment of the monument said yesterday:
1T has been an agreeable thing to me to
see the monument grow, not only in the
minds of the commissioners, as evinced by
the published proceedings, but also in the
a moment when the first appropriation
was asked for that a design involving a
great work of art, equal to any on earth
first 100000 was talked of, then 500 900,
and, what was more, the Legislature gave
it; Then the ,design was selected, and
while &c was going up there were many
times when 1t seemed as IL some mistake
was about to be made, and some, in fact,
were officially ordered, yet the commits
sioners and public have risen together in
time to prevent the contamination of such
errors both in art and propriety. Take,
for example, the Mexican dates. These
were changed and then when the crown
ing figure ordered to be faced west
the mistake was rectified in time There
seemed time when the commission ap-
peared about TO sacrifice the art in the side
groups on the ground Of expense, but now
| see that the appropriation has been made
large enough to secure the best work and
the best art in harmony with the monu-
ment. There is one thing more that ought
10 be changed. The order of inscription
on the north and south tablets has been
inverted, and when the critical reader be-
gins to pursue the inscriptions he will find
them upside down. By this 1 mean that
the last event thus to be commemorated
has been placed first. The first inscription
reads War with Mexico ETC., and then
runs down until the engagements of Clark
and others are given The mistake is one
that cannot be rectiied and will always
subject the commissioners to criticism, if
not ridicule, II not changed"
Commissioner Johnson will leave for
Florida before the 18th of November to
spend the winter on his ranch there

NEW CITY ATTORNEY
John E. Scott Will Have Charge
of the City'S Legal Work.
Board of Works Holds It's First Meeting
Safety Board Fails to Organize
for Business.

Mayor Denny yesterday appointed John
f. Scott, OF the firm of Stanton & Scott
city attorney. The appointment, while an
excellent one, is somewhat OF a surprise,
as 1t was not generally known that Mr..
Scott was a candidate. He gave a 5000
bend, with Franklin Taylor and Ambrose
T. Stanton as sureties. Immediately after
qualifying he consulted with Controller
Trusler over matters that need immediate
attention in the law department. The
Mayor, in speaking Of the appointment.
said the fight for the Office had assumed
such bitter proportions that he deemed it
best not to select any of the gentlemen who
were so persistently urged by their friends.
He said that ex-Judge Walker never APP
Piled for the position. and that he was GER
tain that the friends of the Judge who
urged his appointment did so without
the knowledge of the gentleman. Mr. Scott.
says the Mayor, is in wise connected
with any litigation in which the city's in
terests may be involved. The Mayor has
known Mr.. Scott for long time.
Mr.. Scott was on the Republican ticket
for Superior Court judge three years ago,
and run exceedingly we'll, although he was
defeated with the rest of the ticket. He was
born on a farm in st. Clair county Illinois,
where he received rudimentary education.
He attended college at Lebanon, ILL.,, earn
ing the money with which he paid his
tuition. He afterwards attended the Wes-
leyan College at Bloomington, Ill.,, where he
graduated. He came to Indianapolis in 1874,
and the next year began the practice of his
profession. He has never held a political
office.
One of the first important duties of Mr..
Scott will be TO vigorously prosecute a
suit TO recover the $31, 900 that is tied up in
Frenzers bank. and for which the city has
certificate of deposit.

GOOD WRESTLING.
Walker Beaten by Wittmer After a
Long and Hard Struggle.

The third of the wrestling matches at the
Empire Theater, this week, was Won by
Wittmer, in two bouts, last night. Walker,
his opponent, was athlete and gave
Wittmer a hard battle but succumbed to
the latters prowess Walker had nine
pounds the advantage Of his opponent in
weight and was much more agile, but the
muscles of his antagonist were like iron
and his massive shoulders withstood every
effort of Walker to put them upon the mat.
During the greater part of the match Witt
mer was the aggressor, and it was seen from
the outstart that Walker would never be
able to put him down. He did, however,
tax to their fullest extent, the powers of
his opponent and frequently slipped from
his grasp when it seemed that there was
no hope During the first bout the men
wrtggled over the mat for fourteen mimi es,
when Wittmer secured a back hammer-lock
and half Nelson upon Walker and forced
his shoulders to the mat.
When time was called for the second bout
both men appeared fresh and ready for a
center Of the canvass, srasred hands and
the wrestling began in earnest from the
start. Wittmer was still the aggressor but
found very slippery man 70 handle Sew
eral times during this bout, when it seem ed
that Walker could not escape from the hold
of the other, he wriggled from the arms
that seemed to hold him like a wise and
nestled serenely upon the mat awaiting an
other onslaught. Several times Wittmer
raised his opponent clear of the mat and
hurled him upon the floor. as Jupiter was
said to hurl thunderbots, but Walker
turned like a flash and invariably fell IN
the wrong position. After struggling with
his man for twenty-four minutes, Wittmer
finally succeeded in getting his opponent $
shoulders under him and gradually pressed
them downwards. Even when hope was
gone, Walker fought gamely to keep his
shoulders clear of the canvass. There were
cries of bridge, bridge" from the audience
and Walker attempted 1t but failed. He
was unequal to the task and as his should
ers came down squarely upon the canvass,
Referee Hale, who was crouching near,
called a down" and the victory was won
by Wittmer.
