Matter Discussed in Last Nights Meet
ing-MOre Applicants on the Com
mercial Club Register.

The meeting OF the Republican Com
mercial Travelling Mems Club last night
was given up to a discussion of ways and
means for affording relief to worthy per-
sons in want. In view of the "beastly"
weather the meeting was largely at
tended and several plans of raising funds
were proposed and their weak and strong
points discussed with the characteristic
vim of the knight of the grip" All the
plans suggested. among which was q
charity ball, had their defects, which were
soon discovered by the travelling men.
George w. Geiger proposed the appoint
ment of a committee TO formulate n plan
and report to the club at its next meeting.
In speaking upon his motion Mr.. Geiger
said this object in view was one worthy of
the best effort and energy of the members
os the club and they should have time TO
consider, in all It's phases, any plan
adopted. If the committee was appointed
it should consist of men who would at
once go TO the work with all the vim they
displayed in their business. The committee
should investigate the extent and charac-
ter of the needs to be supplied in so far
as they were able 10 do and be prepared
10 propose a plan to relieve the existing
wants. The proposition to appoint tins
committee, to consist of nine members,
was carried without a dissenting vote and
the following ompose the committee: ID.
w. Coffin, George w. Geiger, James n.
Buchanan, Il. j. Kelleher, j. c. Norris,

LILLY STEVENS AGAIN.
Another Effort to Get Her Into the IN
sane Asylum.

Another effort will be made to have Lilly
Stevens incarcerated in the insane hospital
or some other institution where she will
be unable TO do bodily harm TO persons
With whom she comes in contact. II will
be remembered that about two years ago
Lilly Stevens was arrested for shooting
and killing her mother at North Indianapo-
lis. She was defended upon the grounds
Of insanity and acquitted. After the trial
an inquest was held upon her and she was
adjudged to be insane. DIR. Wright. who
was then superintendent Of the Central
Hospital for the Insane, sought the advice
OF Encouragement Smith as to whether
she should be received at the hospital or
not. and upon the advice Of the Attorney
general refused TO accept her, giving as
reasons for his refusal that she was In
durable, and that Marion county had its
full quota OF patients az the hospital.
The commission ~adjudging her insane sat
on jan q, 1882, and the return OF Dr.
Wright refusing TO accept her at the hos
pital was made Feb. 3 of the same year.
she was kept in confinement in the county
jail for a few days, and an effort was
made 10 have her confined at the county
farm, This proving unsuccessful. she was
released from custody. Yesterday after

FOR MORE
City Government Will Pay Close
Attention to License Questions.
May Be More Expensive to Own Dogs
Some of the City Bills-General
Municipal Affairs.

Members Of the Council finance commit
tee are still looking about for further means
to raise revenue for the city. 1t may be
that it will cost s. TO nave the privilege of
laying ownership TO a dog, cur or of fine
breed it matters not. There are. according
10 the controllers roll, over $500 dogs in
the city. and by raising the tax 81 the city
would be in possession of an additional rev.
enue Of $500. 1t is argued that it is no
imposition at all to tax a man for own-
Ing a dog: that cur dogs are useless,
and better dead. and that the owners of fine
breeds are able 10 pay for the privilege.
Although the controllers roll shows 5000
dogs, there are doubtless a great many
more than that number in the city. and the
controller will shortly ask the Board Of
Safety to have the policemen look out for
dogs that have no legal existence.
The willingness of the Board of Safety TO
cooperate with the other departments of
the city leads TO the belief that the duties
of policemen may be increased with great
benefit to the city. and without much in
convenience to the patrolmen. The police
can look after the saloon licenses, and see
that every saloon keeper pays the fee.
There were a number who did not pay IN
der the Sullivan regime, although there was
a license inspector, who even knew of the
existence OF these places that paid no IL
cense. Now the police can do the inspecting
and become better acquainted with the af-
fairs OF their districts. The police will also
nave a duty in seeing that the new vehicle
ordinance is properly enforced.
IL IS probable that the Council will fix a
license fee for hucksters. but il will not i'm
pose the prohibitive tax that the Retail Gro
GERS Association wishes imposed. Said a
well-known man yesterday: These GRO
GERS want 20 drive the hucksters and ped
oilers from the city. and yet the low prices
OF fruit and vegetables to-day is due TO
that bananas were p cents a dozen and
higher, because they were only sold an a

INDICTMENTS READY
United States Marshal Will Serve
the Warrants on Monday.
Effort Making for a Reconsideration Of
Mr.. Peirce's Case-Eight Bills
Have Been Voted On.

The United States attorneys Office was d
busy place yesterday. The morning was
spent by expert Hays, attorney Burke and
his assistant, attorney Carr. in looking
through the Indictments returned by the
federal grand jury. The indictments nave
all been typewriter and prepared for the
signature Of the foreman OF the grand jury
when he returns to indianapolis on None
day. At 3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon tis
work was complete and attorney Burks
left the city. He went TO Jacksonville To
spend Sunday. Attorney Carr left at 4
O'Clock for his home at Bloomington. It IN
understood that the United States marshal
Will begin the work or serving warrants
upon those Indicted early Monday morning.
AS to the rumor current for the last two
or three days that X. II. +. Peirce, a d.
rector Of the bank, and president of the
National Electric Headlight COMPANY,
would be indicted, the district attornel
would not speak, but made no denial q
the story when asked about IL. 1t Is said
that the rumors that Mr.. PIERCE would
be indicted lave served to alarm lis
friends, and il is said that a strong effort
may be made TO secure a reconsideration
by the grand jury. Persons directly In
touch with federal affairs confidently ex2
pect at least seven indictments, and pers
haps eight. in connection with the banh
swindle. The grand jury will resume its
work on Monday.

Happened to BE Present.

Lawrence Hale was caught in the act OF

tween Alabama and New Jersey streets.

The Cold Snap Has Brought nm In
.raaaa An Roth

Applications for charity to the relief COM
mittees of the Commercial Club and the
carpenters were very numerous yesterday.
The cold weather has made the situation
more distressing. Little work can be done
and those who have been without employ
ment for months are compelled to resort to
the relief provided by the charity associa-
tons. Numerous complaints We're made
yesterday, by persons who have been
unable to pay up their rent, and have re-
ceived notice to quit the premises. In many
instances subpoenas have been issued from
Justices offices TO tenants who are re-
quested to appear and give reason why
they should not surrender possession Of the
property. The occupants OF Nos. GIG Madl-
son avenue, AS South West street and one
family on English avenue have received
eremptory orders TO vacate. In each in
stance the committee appointed to %investi-
gate report that the sufferers are deserving
and needy in the fullest sense. Colonel
Lilly, of the Commercial Club. believes that
IL the marshals of the suburbs of Indian
against Migrants il would materially serve
the county's interests.
The Commercial Club relief committee
yesterday received from the MonteZuma
Mill Company, of MonteZuma, Ind, an offer
OF one hundred sacks OF the best flour for
distribution 10 persons in need OF food, to
be. shipped to this city whenever desired.
The of.er was accepted. Mr.. W. Nj. VIII

also submitted to the ommitt an offer OF
one hundred sacks of flour to such persons
as the Commercial Club committee might
recommend to him as needing and worthy
OF aid. This very generous offer was also
accepted.

WILL PUSH THE WORK
School Board Will Advertise for
Training School Bids.
Report of Committee Adopted After a
Long Talk-Suit to Be Brought
Against Contractors.

Shortly before 10 o'clock last night a rap
on the table awoke those who had been
doing during several long speeches at the
School Board meeting. Then a vote was
taken on the report of the committee on
manual training school and the report was
adopted. There was no dissenting voice,
although it took an hours talk to reach
the voting point. The board has that slow,
drawing way of declaring itself on ponder
Gus details. President Frenzel, after giving
the history of the training school move
ment, urged that the report be adopted
at once so that the work could be advanced
as fast as possible. The report of this COM
mittee was printed in the Journal yester-
day morning. 1t shows that the school will
cost $175, 900. TIL committee was in favor
of the increased cost because the members
did not see how any feature of the school
could be omitted. 1t was believed TO be
best to let the contract as soon as possible,
as contractors would give better figures at
a time when there was no fear of strikes
or labor troubles. After the report was
adopted it was decided to advertise in the
local papers that the board was ready to
let the contract, and calling for bids. The
bids will be received Jan. 10. Each bidder
must accompany his proposition with a GER
was adopted. The committee will prepare
it's advertisements tomorrow.
The board spent half an hour In discuss
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of paying a part of the
insurance on the library building out of the
special fund. No action was taken. The
board decided to have a board fence built
around School No. Is. The boards attorney
was instructed to bring suit against Fatout
q Son, contractors for School No. 5, on the
penalty provision of their bond. The COM
mittee on buildings claimed that the roof
has never been satisfactory and that it
leaks after a rain The architect has found
no satisfactory way of rcmedying the
trouble and the committee recommended
that suit be brought. 1t was decided to
