JUDGE ROOTS HOUR.
A Family squabbie Aired In Court Tn
 Morning.

"A
 Morning.
 Judge Root had two rather difficult cases to handle this morning. The first was the case of John F. Meah of 155 North Elm street, who was charged with raising a disturbance at his home last night. His son and wife made out A bad case against him, but Meah made a good plea in his own defense and the court seemed reluc- tant to send him to jail. Yesterday morn ing Meah said he was going out to look for work and his wife told him to put on his sons coat instead of his own. which she thought looked too shabby. At noon she thought her husband had been drinking and warned him not to wear his sons coat. But he disregarded her ad- monition and put on the coat and went out. When he returned in the evening his wife's mother and sister were at the house, | to both of whom he spoke in a friendly manner. His wife said something to him about being drinking and his son pro- ceded to diyest him of his coat. Micah ob- iected and was arrested. The officer said the man had been drinking. but he was not drunk. Judge Root asked his wife If ,he wanted to get rid of her husband and she answered in the affirmative The ! judge said he would suspend sentence and adyIsed the accused to either contribute to the support of his family or keep away | from them.
 The case of Michael Cronin of Ridge street for keeping his saloon open on las, Sunday was then called. The accused pleaded not guilty. Officer Brickel said he saw three men enter the store through the back door. The officer was standing on Pleasant street at this time and imme- diately walked over and looked in through the window, but could not see anyone in the saloou. Mir Cronin and his brother | swore that they went Tn to move some barrels of beer from the grocery depart. ment into the saloon. It was q close call anyway. The officer did not see anyone in the place and saw no one coming out Where the three men went who walked ir the direction of the back door while tho officer was standing on Pleasant street nc ono could tell for certain. but the assumption was that they were in a room in the rear oi the saloon and shut of from view by { partition. MT Cronin denied this and saiC the officer was at liberty 10 enter the place at the time if he wanted to. The cour imposed a fine of s1O0 and costs. Tn, case was appealed.

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Tom Brown discovered in Louisville the other day that Anson was using a bat much larger than the rules allow, and Umpire Lynch made the old man cast aside his three favorite sticks and use a bat of regulation size.
 Mike Kelly is accused of dirty ball play. ing on August 9, in the Reading-Allen- town game It is alleged that Miller was running from third to home plate on a short hit, when Kelly dropped the ball, and tripped Miller. when Miller crawled up to touch the plate Kelly siezed him by the collar and draw him back. Miller picked up a bat and attempted to get at Kelly. but other players interfered.
 If Beckley's act in tripping Childs of the Cleveland club. on Wednesday, whereby the latter's collar-bone was fractured, was intentional. the seyerest punishment known in the league ought to be meted ont to him. Matters will soon come to a pass when the league will be compelled not only to inaugurate. but enforce. a pol. icy that will make acts of this nature pun ishable with expulsion from the league for all time.
 "If we had ten more games in our vic tory column" said Captain Anson the other night, "we would win the pennant. None of the clubs are playing the ball the Colts are putting up. and we'll keep on climbing during the rest of the season."
 Apropos of catcher yaughn's broken arm: This has been a bad season for catchers. Bennett lost his leg as starter. Clements broke his ankle. Robinson had a broken finger, and now Catcher Vaughan has a broken arm.
 The Pittsburg club has preferred charges against Capt Tebeau to President Young for his alleged disorderly conduct at Pitts. burg last Wednesday. It asks that e thorough investigation be made. The complaint is accompanied by an affidavit from Umpire Hoagland, and President Kerr says that he Is prepared to present 500 more afidavits.

THE MAYORS RETURN.
He Talks About the Bonds That Are
Now Overdue.

Mayor Denny, who returned from the
East Saturday, was seen by q Journal re-
porter yesterday and was asked regarding
the holdings of the 5000. 900 overdue bonds,
the negotiation for the sale OF which was so
bungled by the last municipal administra-
ton. Mayor Denny said that the New York
Life Insurance Company. with the president
of which he had several interviews, as we'll
as with Mr.. Lanier, Of the house of Wins
low-Lanier, had fulfilled it's agreement to
see that these overdue bonds should not be
used to embarrass the city. The company
holds, in fact, but s212,O 900 of the bonds, but
Baltimore Institutions hold $500, 900, the
Aetna Life Insurance Company of Con-
necticut $4,000 and a Philadelphia house
$50. OOO-a total of $4,000. The holders of
these bonds are under the same obligation
as is the New York Life Insurance Com
pany not to harass the city. There are
over 100000 OF the bonds which have not
bonds drawing 73 per cent. inter
est will be given up until called for with the
money. The interest due Jan. L has been
paid.
The Mayor said that he had had consul
tationS with the bankers referred to rela-
expected TO sell a bond to take the place
of the 100000 of 7.3 per cents. for less than
4 per cent. They expressed a doubt but
NALS 61A& ~ k@6I EtNN aLa 1871
negotiated with Harris q Co. in Chicago
for 4 per cent, and that the controller had
secured n temporary loan of $50, 600 for 3Ss
per cent. they expressed the opinion that
indianapolis was doing well.
rs this an indication that Chicago is a
more favorable money center for negotiat-
ing LII Indianapolis loan than New York?'
asked the reporter.
1T would seem So" replied the Mayor,
but you have no idea Of the amount of
idle money there is in the country-money
whose owners are anxious for a hrst-class
security at a low rate of interest. Idle
people and idle money seem to go to-
gether."
In talking of the rate per cent. with Mr..
Gibbs, OF the New York Life, the
Mayor was led to ask him why Indianapo-
lis could not borrow money at as low a
rate as other cities Of it's class. There is
no trouble about Indianapolis" said the
banker. The failure of the last aGminis-
tratiOn to redeem the 7.3 per cent. bonds
at maturity caused a little furry at the
time among conservative investors, but
all bankers who make 10 a duty to inquire
into causes understand the matter. Indi-
annapolis has a small debt, and there is a
limit to il by law. The city is prosperous,
and with fair business management the
bonds Of the city are frst-ciasS security"
What Is your idea about negotiating the
$500, 600 refunding bOnds?"
Il am satisfied that the present is a fa-
vorable season, and that Controller Trusler
had the true policy in view when he an
nOunced that he favored an immediate adj
Vertisement for proposals."

THE ANTI-SAL0ON WAR.
Success Can Only Be Attained by Enlist

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
No better temperance address has been
delivered in Indianapolis in twenty-five
years, on the phase discussed, than that
delivered in Tomlinson Hall on the 9th by
Mr.. Woolley, but il was sadly marred
throughout by his seryile adherence TO a
line of thought which has been the bane
of all movements against the saloon for
a quarter Of a century. His delineation of
the saloon as the plague-spot Of our civil
ization was true to life, but when he came
to treat OF the method of removing II he
fell into the rut of all declaimers on pro-
hibition, and said: 'The suppression OF
the saloon is the work OF the church" A
more m~ischievous heresy could not be an
nounced. Whatever is In the saloon to be
deprecated affects all alike. It's rayages

Some of those who have been to Wash

cast his Cabinet. feeling assured that il has
not been equal to the emergencies which
have arisen since he became President, and
some other. and possibly 20 some life post.

make Gresham his legatee no longer eX-
