whole matter. so far as the courts are con-
cerned. turned upon the failure of the
State Savings bank of this city. in which,
at the time Of its suspension, Boggs re-
ported deposit of Ss9,000. included in
which was S. 600 in city warrants. which
the court last week ordered returned to
the city. In addition 10 this the court.
interested counsel reports, after declaring
the bank fence" and place for the de-
posting of stolen goods, ordered the city
attorney 10 prepare an amended COM
plaint which will cover the reciaiming
of the warrants. on the ground that
they have been once redeemed by
the city. This procedure is based
upon Boggs' own sworn statement, in
which he said that he sold the
$2i2. 600 of city warrants just prior to the
conclusion of his term last April. 1t is
claimed the city can prove that the IN
dorsing of the warrants UNPAID for lack
of funds" was false and forgery. mas
much as the cash was paid for the war
rants. and that they were then legally
void.
1t Mr.. Boggs displayed more earnestness
in trying to arrange a settlement with the
city, those who are now favoring prosecu-
ton against him, would be more leniently
inclined. They are dlspleased with Mr.
Bogg's insinuations that he is not respon-
sihle. 1t is claimed that every reasonable
opportunity has been given him to adjust
the matter.
The amended complaint called for by
the superior court will be filed tomorrow.
The claim that the $212 900 of warrants are
void is based on decisions that warrants
once paid are void.
Mr.. Boggs returned tonight from Ore
gon. He says:
II bought up warrants during the
financial depression 10 help out city labor

warrants are included in the amount re-
ferred to- You don't know their numbers,

Der last was appointed superintendent Of

former legislation of congress, the de-
eisions of courts and the rulings of tho
department on the subjects of income
tax With this end in view Mr.
Puxh has been occupied since his appoint
ment In examining and preparing a
digest Of the court decisions and the
department rulings cagtailed under
their respective headings. He has
also compared ali OF the former laws upon

Powderly supporter that eminent counsel
had been retained to commence proceed
ings in the United States courts on the
first appearance of crooked" reports.
The books of the organization will be care
fully scrutinized, and perpetrators of
frauds will find themselves in the strong
meshes of the law. A committee of fifty
oId-time members. who are not aud never

raised q fund for the purpose of
purifying the order. These earnest work
ers have prevailed on the secretary of the

from him 20 allow his name 10 be placed
in nomination for the Office. All the West

solidated on McBryde.

needs he evinced his diypleasure by beat

Last night they became involved in a
quarrel. The woman says that Diamond
assaulted her. and after he struck her
several times she drew a pocket knife and
retaliated with effect. Diamond" received

MIDSUMMER NIGHTS FEST.
Fireworks, Song and Other Entertain
ment at Cottage Park.

The indianapolis Maennerchor Society fit
tingly closed the celebration of it's fortieth
anniversary, last night, at Cottage Grove
Park. The exercises consisted of a sum-
MCKNIGHT festival, which would have been
given last Saturday night had not the storm
prevented. The festival was given by the
local societies, the visitors having returned
TO their homes. Members of the Socialistic
Saengerbund, Harugari Saengerchor, In
dianapolis Maennerchor and LiederkranZ
societies appeared in the chorus and solos
and the Indianapolis Military Band rem
dered a programme of choicest music Cot
tage Grove Park, picturesquely situated on
the north bank of Fall creek, a few rods
distant from the North Illinois-street cleo
trio line, was wondrously attractive. il
Illuminated, as 1t was, with hundreds of in
candescents and brightly colored lanterns.
Between fifteen hundred and two thousand
invited guests visited the park between s
and IL O'clock. None were admitted through
the gates without a badge or pass, conse-
Cuently the evening passed without an un-
pleasant incident. The clubhouse overlook
lanterns and a few yards below on the
sloping hillside a hundred gaily-colored in
candescents shed their rays upon the blue
and white uniforms of the military band.
There was entertainment for everybody.
Hundreds of young people promenaded arm
in arm the well-kept walks. Others were
content to sit at the tables and enjoy the
strains that came from the bandstand.
Sturdy young men and bright-eyed frau
leins passed pretty compliments across the
tables and daintily slipped their beer. The
concert began at $50 o'clock and after the
conclusion OF the first part Of the pro-
gramme the guests were treated to a mag
nificent display of fireworks. The pyrotech-
mics were given from the south side OF Fail
creek so that the crowd could enjoy an un-
obscured view of the display. One OF the
prettiest sights was an artistic arrange
ment of red. white and blue lights that
spelled the word ''Maennerchor." Another
was a large clef of music in varigated col
ors. The last half of the musical pro-
gramme included some of the best vocal
selections In the repertory OF the German
societies. including 'Heroine's Prayer" in
which all the voices combined in one grand
chorus.
