OUR BONDS in FAVOR
Mayor Denny Returns from His
Trip to New York and Boston.
Refunding Scheme COmplete-Physi-
clans Will Urge DR.. divers APP
pOintment as Police Surgeon.

Mayor Denny returned yesterday from
the East, where he went to deliver the
100000 issue of refunding bonds. Nearly all
the old bonds are now Cancelled the new
bonds in the hands of their purchasers and
credit of the city of indianapolis. The
Mayor received kind treatment from the
bankers in the East, and at Boston found
there was considerable interest in the COM
ing issue of 100000 of refundng bonds. The
batch delivered by the Mayor at the Third
National Bank of Boston was signed by
him in the office of that institution on
March l, according to the contract with
the Indiana Trust Company. When the
Mayor delivered the bonds the bank imme-
diately telegraphed to Winslow. Lanier &
Co, at New York, that this sum of more
than 900 was available for taking up the
old bonds, and the New York bank imme-
ny. informing him that everything was all
right.
1t took the Mayor two hours to sign the
bonds and transact his business with the
Boston bank. He met a number of Boston
financiers, who told him that the credit of
the city was first-class. He gained from
them the impression that there would be
several bids from Boston at the next sale
of Indianapolis bonds. He thinks that most
of the bonds delivered last week were
turned over to Boston savings banks One
bank took a 100000 lot.
The Mayor stopped at New York on his
way back from Boston, and found that
$5S7, 900 of the old bonds had been cancelled
leaving only $4,000 to be presented, and
these have probably been Cancelled
The Mayor found that the city would be
compelled to pay the one-half of l per cent
premium demanded by the Aetna Insurance
COmpany.

TOWN OR CITY?
West indianapolis Will Settle the
Question Next Week.

On Thursday, March u, an election will
be held in West Indianapolis to decide the
question of Incorporating the town into a
city. The knowing ones are claiming 1000
as the population, and they say there is
no reason why the agitated change should
not be made Several times recently a
number Of the citizens attempted TO secure
annexation, but for some unknown cause
the result was not accomplished. Full of
the idea of throwing aside suburban life,
some Of the residents, at q meeting of the
town board, a few weeks ago, asked the
board TO declare an election to be held on
March u to try the general sentiment of
ment for that of a city At the time IL
was rumored that the question was being
aS1tated by the push of both parties.
VINO had in view the offices that would be
created by the change The question has
been discussed in every phase since the
call for an election. Some OF the citizens
urge that, as the town is SO heavily in
debt, and the change would necessltate
great Increase in municipal expenses, 1t
would be ineXpedient and should not be
seriously considered The given TO
this argument is that the expense of main
tanning a city government will not be as
great as that of the present way OF run
ming affairs.
1t is apparent that the majority of the
those VINO do not favor il are saying that
this estimate of the sentiment Is merely
superficial. They claim that there are three
divisions Of public sentiment In regard to
is class who favor the question of form
ing the town into a city; second, there
are those who think annexation is the
only thing TO be done, and third, there are
many who desire no change whatever The
balance Of power rests with the annexa-
uonists, and their strength is not known.

A COLORED MAGICIAN.
Police Station Attaches Entertained by
a Prisoner Versed in the Black Art.

Claude I.undell, an easy-going negro aged
twenty years, was arrested in a saloon
on Grove street Saturday night by Ser
geant AIefford and patrOlman Ginger on
a charge of lettering. He was giving an
impromptu sleight-of-hand performance,
and after being taken to the police sta
ton continued his exhibition for the enter
tainment of the guardians of the peace.
Last evening he gave another exhibition
at the station just to vary the Sunday
night monotOny. His star performance is
the inhaling of fire. Having put a number
of small pieces of cork in pan, he poured
what he called coal oil over them and APP
piled a match. When the cork and oil
were burning fierCely he put the cork in
his mouth and chewed it with apparent
relish. He took a deck of cards and pro-
.duced a number of desirable poker hands
in apparently the regulation way by an
off-hand deal. From funnel he caused a
continuous stream of water to pour forth
without any evident source. He was in
his realm in releasing himself after hav-
ing been tied by the officers in very secure
positions.
Lundell claims to be a native of the West
Indies, and states that he has been giving
exhibitions in this country since 1881. He
said that he had been in this city since
encampment week, and this the first
time he had been arrested any charge.

WIDOW KRAWL'S LOVE
Memphis Woman Who Has a Pen
chant for Indiana WidOwers.
John Nicolas, of Noblesville, Turned Her
Over to William Bartholomew, Who
Will Wed Her To-Day.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March Mrs. Krawl,
handsome widow of thirty-five years,
was defendant in a curious case that
came up in a local court to-day. She keeps
boarding house, and though business was
fair, she grew melancholy and began to
think it was not good Cor a woman 10 be
alone. While in this state she CHANGED to
see an advertisement in the "matrimoniar'
column of a newspaper. stating that "a
forlcrn widower of fifty, well preserved,
lively and well to do, desired to cOrre
spond with a middle-aged widow; object.
matrimony." She answered the advertise
ment. and in due time received a letter
from the forlorn widower, John Nicolas,
OF Noblesvile Ind Photographs, locks Of
hair and other amatory tokens were ex-
changed, and at last Mr.. Nicolas came
down to Memphis to see his fair corre-
spendent. They were pleased with each
other, and the match would have been
made off-hand but for an obstacle. II
what Mrs. Krawi was not-a widow with
two daughters-for he had two sons who
needed wives, and the desire of his heart
ever, he told Mrs. Krawl that he had a
friend in Indiana who would just suit her.
and offered to send him on. This was
agreed 10, and Nicolas went home.
In due time his friend. William Bartholo-
NEW, opened negotiations with the widow
krawl. He wrote her poetry dedicated to
1.-THE beauty of Dixie" and otherwise eX-
pressed himself as a man in whom the fire
of youth was not yet extnguished. He
WFOte every uaS. 0n ar
rived in person and soon had the widow
conquered She consented to marry him
Np th'> non fsnd - about
making her trousseau. He bought a we'd
ding silt ana turned it over 10 mis- fiance
for safe keeping; also his pocketbook. Both
packages were put in the woman's trunk
with her trouSSeau.
But here the serpent entered their Eden
in the form of grocer named Kressenberg
He had been supplying Mrs. KrawfS board
ing house, and she owed him a bill. 1t oc-
Cured to him that If she married and left
Memphis he might lose. his dues. So he
brought suit and got judgment for his ac-
count. The execution placed in the
hands of an officer, and he levied on the
precious trunk. Mrs. Krawl went into court
TO replevin the trunk, and so the whole
story came out. The court awarded to the
prospective bridegroom his pocketbook and
clothes, and offered to perform the nuptial
ceremony free of charge, but the bride OBJ
iected, having engaged the pastor of her
church 10 perform the office. The wedding
Will take place tomorrow evening instead OF
next Thursday, as mad been arranged.
