A NEW CITY BUILDING.
City officials Giving Thought to q
Plan for One.


The city officials have given some little
thought to plan for erecting a city build
ing on the space where the old hay mar
ket formerly stood at Market and Ala
bama streets. The recent demand made by
the County Commissioners that the city
pay $500 rent for the basement of the
courthouse has caused more careful con-
sideration to be given the plan. Mr.
White, of the Board of Saftey has been
informed that the city could collect 81 800

others who would like to have space for
stands on the site Of the old hay market
For a less sum than 100000 a building

provided for on the first floor and If de-

the gardeners and huckSters, the city
would have al Offset for the interest on

OHIO VALLEY ROAD.
Receiver MacLeOd's Authority Ex-
tended to Indiana.

Action against the Ohio Valley railway,
which has been pending in the United States
Court, eliminated yesterday by the appoint
ment of receiver. Judge Baker sent an
order from New Albany placing the busi-
ness of the road in Indiana in the hands Of
John Macleod. The receiver Is notified in
the order that bond of $4,000 will be re-
ouired and all officers, directors and agents
of the company are instructed to turn over
to the receiver all money, records and pa
pers belonging to the business of the enter
prise. This receivership grows out of a suit
filed in the federal court for the district of
Kentucky by William a. Brown &c Sons,
of Philadelphia, George A. Livermore, Will
liam II. Tillinghast, z. r. Robinson, w. II.

agreed to confess judgment to a large
amount when in truth no Indebtedness ex-
listed. This plan resulted in the suit by the

SECOND PRESBYTERIAN.
Annual Meeting of the Church's COngre-
cation Held Last Evening.

The annual meeting OF the congregation
of the Second Presbyterian Church was
held last evening. The annual reports were
read, and the report of the trustees was to
the effect that the church had never en-
joyed such year of prosperity and it had
never done so much good work. The re-
ceipts for the year were over $13,5G0. The
work done by the city missionary in the
rolling mill district has been remarkable,
and sewing schools a reading room, Sunday
schools and prayer meetings have been
maintained besides an enormous amount
of charitable work among the poor The
music of the church costs 200 a year.
and the trustees have reason to believe
that the music is second to none in the
West New pavement and cement side
walks were put down last year, and the
trustees contemplate lighting the church
with electricity, placing an. electric motor
for the organ and for ventilating purposes
and other improvements for the coming
year. After the business of the meeting

the woman's hall and dormitory at the uni

ON PUBLIC WORKS.


Another gang OF about thirty men sent
the city by the Commercial Club was put
TO work on the streets yesterday. The
Mayor stated that the Garfield Park lake
is to be built, and that work will probably
begin next week. The engineer explained
further details of the work to the Board
of Works yesterday. The board will go
over the ground to-day
The board has not yet taken further
action on the Mississippi-street sewer. 1t
route OF the sewer will be followed and the
asphalt to the west of the Statehouse torn
UP. 1t will cost the city almost $500 to
replace the asphalt that will have to be
torn up in building the sewer, and it is
probable that contractors will bid higher
on the work of building the sewer on ac-
count of the difficulty in tearing up the
asphalt and concrete. Comparatively few
men are at. work on the White-river main
interceptOr.

PatroImen Wilson and Leppert
Cleared bY ROard of Safefx


Cleared by Board of Safety.
The Board of Safety held meeting last
night, but failed to inform representatives
of the press that a meeting was to be held.
When a representative of the press walked
into the room the board expressed sur
prise at his incoming, and it seemed that
it was not intended to have reporters pres
ent. The board took up the consideration
of the charges against officers Wilson and
Leppert, preferred by ed Sourbeer. Sour

night. Leppert is confined to his home

BREEDERS OF SWINE.
The American Hog Given Very Deserved
Recognition.

The hog and his peculiarities was the
burden of discussion at Room u in the
Statehouse yesterday and last night. The
Indiana swine breeders met in annual con-
vention at o'clock and were addressed by
President Joseph Cunningham, of Loree
The president thought that swine breeders
had reason to congratulate themselves over
their labors the past year, in view Of the
disastrous failure of corn crops. The hog,
he thought, deserved the recognition of be-
ing the only American product that had
preserved his native characteristic. The
speaker went back into the earlier history
of the animal under discussion and closed
by extending q warm welcome to the men,
bers Of the association. y considerable
portion of the day was devoted to the dis
cussion OF 1.-The Glover Crop in Relation to
the Farm and Swine Raising" the subject
of a paper by j. NJ. Miller. of Upland. Mr..
Miller recommended the extensive cultiva-
tion of clover by the Indiana farmer. He
thought that the clover crop in relation TO
swine raising should henceforth be one of
the most important adjuncts. He gave the
tics in which he showed that in the last
year 1,174,3n acres were devoted 90 the cul-
tivation OF clover, with an average yield of
l62 tons per acre. In Indiana the hog yield
for 1891 and 1892 was 2,5S6,000 head, which
stands sixth in the list OF swine-raising
Cott Barnett, of Logansport, contributed
some interesting remarks on the subject,
''Is it Profitable to Raise Two Litters from
a Sow in One Year,? Mr.. Barnetts expert
ence was that two litters, one I'm the spring
and the other in the fall. were highly profit
able. Il. w. Harvey, of BlOomingdale, dis
cussed the advancement of Chester White
hogs in the last five years He thought
that there had been great advancement,
but that pure breeding and careful atten-
ton TO the farm swine would do wonders
toward further advancement The con-
vention adjourned at 8 o'clock yesterday
evening and again took up the business in
hand after supper.
The convention at the night session con-
cluded the discussion OF papers and the
members talked over a number OF changes

PnDers on Drainng ge.

The Tile, Brick and Drainage Associa-
ton concluded its labors at noon 7yester-
day. The papers and discussions present.
ed during the session have been valuable
additions to the literature bearing on the
interests here presented. Farm Drainage
was the subject of paper by Prof Latta,
of Purdue. He said there was a neces-
sity for draining marshy and heavy low
lands, because of the striking benefits TO
be derived. The prevalent opinion of we'll
informed of experience in this line
was in favor OF deep drainage of such
apply to upland as well as to the lowland
soils. The desirability OF having heavy up
lands well drained In wet seasons was
duly appreciated.
Drainage and Marshes was the subject
discussed by W. NJ. Whitten, Of South

WANTS A NEW DISPENSARY.
Superintendent MOfYett Suggests q
FOur-StOry Emergency Hospital.

Superintendent Moffett, of the City Dis
pensary, has submitted his annual report
for 1888 to the Board of Health. He finds
that while the city allows about 5000 a
year for expenses. the physicians of the
city have donated services conservatively
estimated at $50 600 or more. He calls at
tention to the need of a new building for
the dispensary. I'VE need an emergency
hospital of central location for severe and
sudden cases. and no place is better for
this than the City Pispensary," says he.
I'VE need ward of about twelve beds.
Because of it's being under the direct super
vision of the dispensary no extra expense
would be entailed. A building of four sto-
ries with plenty OF room 20 accommodate
all pertaining to the dispensary could be
erected for about $50. .0OO.'
