Fire at CentreyiIIe.

~N Friday evening about the
EIN hour OF 6 o'clock L. M.
the large bank barn of
NAZ Uriah II. Fessler was
YE totally destroyed by fire.

but all his hay, fodder,
straw and the last years

ly destroyed. The barn was located
lust Mt the edge, southeast of town
and was heavy frame structure. 1t
was claimed to be tho best in the
township, 40x70 feet and 10 feet
above foundation, and well nigh
filed mows and the dry weather
made it all the worse for general
conhagration.
The cry of fire, the ringing of
church bells soon collected great
crowd, n goodly number armed with
buckets did good work and prevent.
ed n general conflagration. The
barn was beyond saving at ahe
hands of the bucket brigade, but by
directing their sole attention to
Squire Shinkel's stable and Mr..
Fessler's pig stable and corn house,
aud saving them, in the face of in
tense scorching heat, they saved
them and prevented spread of the
flames, save the wagon shed east of

and Not Meant Seriously.
The Democrats broke a quorum in the
Senate yesterday to defeat consideration
of Senator Watson's bill for the organiza-
ton of the prison boards. 1t was not a
very determined or formidable revolt. and
caused a delay of only about five minutes
while the doorxeepers were bringing in the
runaways. The bill was the special order
for I:30 a. M, and the word had been
passed around that when the special order
was called the minority was to bolt, and
they bolted. Some of them went to the
House, others to the cloak room, and 9TH
ers no one knew where. The lobby was
present in large numbers and the break
was not noticed. There was surprise on
orators passed the opportunity to make
political capital. The roll call proceeded.
and the Democrats slipped out by twos and
threes, The Republicans discovered what
was up about the time the roll call had
been half completed, and pause was
in the deserters. The Lieutenant Governor
sent the doorkeepers after the boilers, and
look Of blank innocence. others with an
expression of sheepishness. as though they
had been. caught in the act, 1t was ex-
planned afterward that the bolt simply
a joke. To break quorum maliciously
and purposely would involve liability to
a fine of 81 900 and imprisonment, and they
wished it understood that they did not
mean it. The bill passed by vote of %
to Is. Senator Seller was the only Demo
crat who voted for it. He explained that
the management of the prisons had been
bad: he expected that it would continue
to be bad, and that being the case he
wanted it to wear the Republican beard
Senator Alexander explained that he would
vote for the bill if it Nproposed a clean
sweep. but since it did not he would vote
against it. He believed in the doctrine
that to the vctors belonged the spells.
Senator Haggard went over and shook
the hand of Senator Alexander.

ShiveIey Police Bill Grants that
Power to the Small Cities.

ShiveIey Police Bill Grants that
Power to the Small Cities.
The metropolitan police bill of Senator
Shiveley, which passed the Senate yester-
day, is one of the most important measures
of the session. Six years ago the Democrats
passed a so-called metropolitan police bill,
which had reference to the city of Indian
apois alone, and which had for its purpose
the ousting of the Republicans, then in con-
troll, from the management Of the police.
Two years later the provisions of the bill
were extended to apply to Evansville and
Terre Haute, and two years ago the pro-
visions of the bill were further extended to
apply to all the cities of the State having
populat ton of 10000. BY the provisions of
the Shiveley bill the appointment of met
ropoltan police commissioners in all cities
with a population between 5000 and 80, coo is
transferred from the Governor to the mayors
of the several cities. In cities above the
grade of $4,000 the appointing power had
been previously taken from the Governor
through the operation of the several char
ters granted. The bill provides that civil
service rules shall apply in police affairs of
the cities affected. In a word, the Shiveley
bill means a return TO local self-government
on a civil-Sarvice basis.

Nearly every member of the House has
made a plaything of a flag furnished him
by Representative Barber, who has tried to
secure the passage of bill authorizing the
State to buy flags for all the schoolhouses
in the State. None of the members have in
resentative is furnishing came from, but
there were several sharp speeches when the
bill came UP for passage yesterday after
noon. Not a little humcr arose out of the
occasion. The House agreed to suspend the
rules and put the bill on passage, but not
until Mr.. Farrell changed his vote from no
to aye He had received no flag, and Mr.
Barber presented him one.

A call was made for the previous question

following resolution.

House of Representatives House bill No.

Whereas, This bill has been referred to

calendar the temperance committee,

keeping company with the thousands of pc
titions offered by the people of the state
asking for its passage; and
Whereas, This committee has had plenty
of time TO make inquiries into the provisions
of this said House bill No 165, and that they
have full and sufficient knowledge of the
provisions of the bill;
Whereas, This honorable body fully and
completely understands the provisions OF
this act SO well that there is no reason of
any delay in it's consideration, and is now
ready to take it up, be it
Resolved, That this committee, called and

as they have prepared, with or without
amendments, with or without recommenda-

Instantly half dozen Senator's were on
their feet demanding recognition. Senator
Bird, Democrat, wanted to table the reso-
lutions. Senator Mcdonald demanded yea
and nay VOTE but his voice was lost in the
turmoil Senator Watson moved the refer
ence of the resolution to the committee on
temperance, and it was SO referred.

States Land Cannot BE Used for Park
Purposes at the Cfty's Expense.

Mr.. Leedy introduced a resolution yes
terday morning giving the city the right
to improve the States ffteen-acre tract
of ground lying adjacent to the Institute
for the Deaf and Dumb a park until it
shall be wanted by the State. The resolu-
ton. which was a concurrent one, provided
that trees should be planted, flower beds
and drives laid out and a pleasant breath
ing space made. He explained that the
city does not ask title and neither does
it ask anything which would stand in the
way of the States retaining the ground
at any time that it has need of it. Dun
can, of Owen, opposed the resolution for
a reason which he was shown did not
exist, and he subsidized. Mr.. Griffin, of
Boone, argued against the idea, with the
apparent thought that the city was trying
to steal the land. He would not listen to
the argument that the resolution expressly
provides that the State, under no circum-
stances, is to be subjected to any ex-
pense, or to suffer the least bar to possession
of the land on demand, and that at pres
ent the ground lies waste of turf, trash
and weeds He said the land ought to be
sold, and the members from Marion county
agreed with him that if the land could not
be parked for the benefit of those who live
in the capital, it shouI. be sold. The
harangue of Mr.. Griffin evidently impressed
the Marion county members as a piece of
petty parsimony. The resolution was de-
feated

AN HOURS WAIT FOR ONE MAN.
House Passes Bill for Better Manage.
ment of Prisons.

For over an hour the House was waiting
to complete roll call yesterday on sus-
pending the constitutional rule to pass the
Senate bill placing the appointment of pris-
on directors in the hands of the State Off
GERS instead of the Governor. Just one
vote was necessary TO secure the necessary
two-thirds. The doors were all locked by
order of Speaker Adams, and doorkeepers
skirmished about the Capitol and called up
the various hotels by telephone to find one
more The roll was called over and
over again for absentees, and Mr.. Petit
who was in the chair, refused to announce
the result of the vote. Finally a door
keeper found Representative McCrea, who
voted aye, thereby suspendng the rule by
a 81 to IA vote.
Mr. Watson's bill has title which pro-
vides for the better management of the
prisons" and requires the State officers to
meet and select directors within thirty
days after the bill becomes law. Two Re-
publicans, Messrs. Howe and Stakebake,
voted against the measure. The vote on
passage was: Ayes, 81; nays, is. This ac-
ton was clinched by a motion to recon-
slider, which was laid on the table.

gffsh and General Carnahan.
The Senate committee on the affairs of
the city of Indianapolis held a session last
night to consider the city charter amend
ments. Mayor Denny, City Attorney Scott,
James r. Carnahan, William I'll. English
and number of others were present OF
the committee there were present Senators
Kern, Stuart, McHugh and Cranor. Mayor
Denny talked briefly. saying that the city
committee had adopted amendment to
the charter, for submission, raising the city
attorneys salary to $1,000, but the House.
in passing the bill, had reduced it to the
present sum of $1,000. Mr.. Scott reviewed
the recommendations of the city commit
tee and told what had been done in the
House. The principal change was one touch
ing street improvements, giving the major
ity, instead of two-thirds, the power to
defeat an improvement. The recommends
ton has been changed to make the
police authority concurrent with the county
lines. The salary of the city treasurer
County treasurer ex officio) had been raised
from s., 900 TO 81 900. The section in regard
to the Board of Health was changed so as
to create the office of city sanitarian, at
salary of not to exceed 81 600 a year. A new.
Section had been added to provide for a
way through the Circuit Court of assessing
benefits and damages to property owners
outside of the corporation lines in case of
improvements which must necessarily reach
Beyond the line.
When Senator Kern, who was presiding
said that any citizen present could have
the floor General Carnahan called attention
to an amendment that had been made SO as
to differentiate Incorporated towns from ln-
plated ground. Mr.. English next addressed
the committee on the subject of the annex
alton of the town of Woodruff. The House
had changed the bill, he said. SO that not
the owners of Woodruff real estate. but
the residents there who are qualified voters

than one hundred of these. he said, and the
situation presented a case OF less than one
hundred standing out against the hundreds
of thousands in the great city of IndianaD-
oils. He showed that the presence of a
town within the city constantly causes fric-
ton. and he presented several yards of Pc
titions for annexation. If the committee

begged that the law would not be made so
