the money crop OF many farmers, reached
its lowest recorded price. and that peaches,

He reports the order in Delaware to be

NEXT WEEKS ATTRACTIONS.
Efforts Made to Secure a Very Low
Railroad Rate.

With low railroad rates and unusual at
fractions for visitors, it is expected that
there will be thousands of out-of-town peo-
pie in indianapolis next Monday labor
day). Aside from the fact that it will be a
holiday, and that the special Labor day ex-
erclses will be held. the great fall trotting
meeting of the Indianapolis Driving Club
association viii begin that day, and the
first production of Pains historical spec
tacle, Last Days of Pompeii," will be
given that evening. 1t is 10 prepare for the
latter event that several hundred people
are now working industriously. The build
ings are now about completed, and the
framework for the scenery. OF which there
Will be ten thousand square yards, is al
ready in place. The manufacture Of the
fireworks is making rapid progress, and
within the next two days the rehearsals
will begin for the pageantry and marches
and the dramatic part of the entertainment
proper. One particularly attractive portion
of the entertainment will be the introduce
ton OF chariot races and arenic sports, in
addition TO high-class novel ~specialties by
noted European and American performers.
Aside from its merits as a spectacle, pure
and simple. the Last Days of Pompeii
has unusual historical interest. The repre-
sentation of the city is as accurate as il
can be made in miniature, on a great paint

are modelled after the originals. so far as
il is possible to make such models from the
tacle spent many months among the ruins
of Pompeii so as to make their models and
paintings as accurate as possible: In the
larger cities where this spectacle has been
given IL has been publicly commented by
ministers and teachers for its historical
features, and the experience in these places
OF having entire schools visit 1t will prob
ably be repeated here.
The officers of the spectacle association
and the driving club are making an active
effort to get a lower rate for out-of-town
people 10 Indianapolis mex Monday than
that already obtained. the latter being hair
fare. They want a rate of one cent a mile
for the round trip. and have reason 10 be-
lieve that they will get it. If they do the
probability is that many thousands or peo-
pie will be attracted here. Even with a
half-fare rate. which is much lower man
Usually obtained for such things, the In
ducements will be great for people to come
to town.
The first performance of Last Days of
Pompeii' will be given next Monday night,
to be followed by successive performances

ers along the line of any sewer are as

structing a local sewer adequate for the
DIR 4age along that particular route. In
the case Of the Fourteenth-street sewer
the assessment against the property along
the line was IA per cent. Of the total cost
of the sewer. In addition to the IA per
cent. assessment the same property own
ers are assessed in the district assessment,
which also includes every piece of property
In a large portion of the city. The property
owners think that the first assessment of II
per cent; Is their Just proPortion of the as
qulred TO pay the additional district as

owners. held in the northeastern part of
the Guy a few nights ago, IL was decided
to get the opinion of an attorney upon the
legality of the district assessment against
the property onwners upon the line of the
sewer. The property owners are assessed
twenty-five cents per lot to pay the eX-
pense OF securing the legal advice, and the
law firm Of Miller, Winter & ELAN were
employed. ,
Yesterday afternoon Messrs. Winter and
Miller called at the office of the board in
the interest Of their clients. They left APP

upon a former occasion, that the law pro-

TO BORROW $4,000
TEMPORARY LOAN TO TIDE CITY
OVER TILL TAXES ARE PAID.
Location of New Engine Houses Not
teenth-Street Sewer Assessment.

The city will borrow $4,000 tomorrow to
tide it over till the November taxes come
in. Controller Trusler says this amount
will be sufficient TO run the city govern
ment till its fall revenues from the taxes
become due. The money will be borrowed
from local bankers. The controller thinks
the city can do just as well at home in
borrowing money as it can by going to
New York. Letters have been written to
all Of the local banks informing them of
the amount the city desires to borrow and
asking them to bid for the loan, and all of
them will probably submit bids.
Controller Trusler says he does not know
what the probable rate will be, though he
does not expect to get the money for a
rate quite SO advantageous to the city as
that secured at the time of the last loan.
Last year the city negotiated temporary
loans TO the amount of $4,000. OF this
amount, $4,000 was borrowed from the
banks and $4,000 from the treasurer. The
city is between $4,000 and 10000 better off
this year than IL was last.

A PACE UNDER THE SADDLE.
Miss Harris Will Ride AlbatrOss at
Next Weeks Meeting.

The indianapolis Driving Club yesterday
afternoon added another feature to the at
fractions for next week. For some time
secretary Graves has been negotiating for
the appearance of the pacing stallion Alba
tross, and yesterday closed the deal. The
horse is this year pacing under the saddle
and has a mark of 2:09I2. Miss Edna Har-
ris, the tw~elve-year-old daughter Of the
owner of Albatross. will ride the horse In
an exhibition mile on Monday, between
races. Albatross has the fastest pacing
record, under the saddle, in the world.
Last week, at Lansing, Mich, Miss Harris
rode him a half mile in one minute and a
quarter of a second, and il Is expected that
the horse will do even better on the In
dianapolis track. Miss Harris, although a
child in years, is said to be an expert horse
woman, and handles the PAGER with the
ease of a jockey.
J. r. Bascom, with a string Of ten horses,
arrived yesterday from Lexington, Ky,
and took possession OF his quarters at the
track. Mat Laird is also here from Mans
field. o., with his stable of flyers, of which
the PAGER Rubens; EN- is at the head.

HOPE FOR DEPOSITORS.
Suit to Foreclose the Mortgage on the
Cabinet Company Plant.

The attorneys for the receiver OF the
indianapolis National Bank hope to get
the suit in the interests Of the creditors
of the institution before the court early
in September. The complaint asks the
court to foreclose the mortgage held by
the bank on the Indianapolis cabinet works
and TO issue a decree applying the re-
ceipts from the sale OF the cabinet works
to the dividend fund. Receiver Hawkins
hopes for a favorable decision on the part
of the court. but declines to say as to
what amount of money he thinks can be
applied in this way. In addition 10 the
funds which may come into the receivers
hands from the sale Mr.. Hawkins hopes to
realize $4,000 on two suits recently brought
against two New Hampshire banks. Both
institutions owned stock in the lndianap-
oils National. but refused to pay the as
sessments forwarded to them The banks
New Hampshire they could not legally hold
stock in another bank. This claim was
also put up by a Noblesville bank in the

GAS BELT ELECTRIC SYSTEM.
Mr.. C~lOdfelter's Scheme to Connect
Marion and indianapolis.

The Indianapolis 81 Marion electric rail-
way is the title of the latest electric ven
ture of Indiana organizers. The scheme, it
is said, is being fathered by Noah J. Clod-
felter, a Charlottesville man. Mr.. Clod-
felter was in indianapolis last week with
some very rosy views regarding his new
enterprise. He claimed to have in his pos
session the right of way through the gas
counties and cities of Indiana. Anderson is
to be a division point of the new road. and
the terminals OF the lire will be Bright
wood and Marion. Mr.. Clodfelter was en-
thusiaStic over the venture, and made the
statement that $4,000 worth or stock had
already been bought up. He propose to
eXpend $50, 600 a mile on the track and
equipment, and expects 10 bond the road
as fast as it is built. The road, he says,
will touch all gas towns of prominence. He
states that work on the track will com
mence at once. Mr.. Clodfelter was the
former secretary of the Wabash Valley Pro
tective Union, an insurance concern that
mad it's birth in Charlottesville. Some years
ago he came before the public as the au-
thor of Early Vanities," a small volume
of pOemS.

NO SITES SELECTED.
Location of New Engine Houses Still
i'm Allegiance.

III ahCt.
The Board of Public Works has not yet
decided upon the location of the new en-
CINE houses, as recently published in an
evening paper. Mr.. Conner said yesterday
that the question had not been thought OF
since the board drove over the territory to
be protected. 1t will not be taken up again
till after the appropriation ordinance is
passed by the Council. The board desires
TO see if the Council makes any cut in the
estimates for this purpose before il takes
any action at all towards building the
houses or selecting the sites. Councilman
Murphy says he made no threat that he
would have the estimates for building the
houses cut down by the Council If one OF
them was not located on Oak Hill. He
says, however, that he believes one of them
should be located there. He thinks the
value of the property to be protected in
this vicinity is more than double that north
OF Fall creek. Mr.. Conner says the value
OF the property to be protected will be the
principal consideration in the location OF
pute as to the neighborhoOd in which the
house in the eastern part of the city should
be located. IL being conceded by all per-
sons interested that IL should be built in
the vicinity of Michigan street and Jeffer-
son avenue. The controversy Is as to
whether a house should be built north of
resentatives from the Atlas engine works.
Howe pump and iron works. Greenleaf
foundry, KeyleSs Lock Company and the

sent the claims OF Oak Hill to the board.

stroyed by fire. but will be rebuilt in the
near future if fire protection can be Sc
cured.

A Jasper County Appeal.

The Jasper county commissioners have
appealed TO the Supreme Court from the
Newton Circuit Courts decision in the dam
age case against them of John H. Altman,
administrator of the estate Of Reuben P.
Ryan. The latter was killed Feb. IL, 1893,
by being thrown from a hay wagon just
as 1t was entering a bridge across Carpen-
ter's creek, in that county. The wagon
struck a corner of the bridge and Ryan
was thrown twenty feet to the ice below,
and killed. His administrator sued the
county and secured a verdict for $1,000. 1t
is from this verdict that the commissioners
appeal, and their transcript was filed in the
Supreme Court yesterday.
