PRINTING CONTRACT TODAY.
State Board Will Make the Letting
Possible Division of Work.

The contract for the State printing will
be awarded to-day. Although the members
Of the board have pledged themselves TO
secrecy in regard to all phases of the ques-
ton until after the contract has been
awarded, some few things have leaked out.
1t is a common rumor at the statehouse
that the contract will show a saving of
$500 on the contract let by the last board,
which was Democratic. This is not known
to be the fact, but 1t is told about the
Statehouse as If il were authentic. 1t is
also believed. from the same rumors, that
the contract will be let in two parts, the
Supreme and Appellate Court reports COM
prising one contract and the balance of the
work the other. That seems TO indicate
that the bid of the Sentinel Printing Com
pany, although the lowest on the face, is
not the lowest in fact. Their bid was the
lowest for the reports and IL is likely that
that contract will go TO this company. In
that case il is certain that their bid is not
the lowest on the other work.
The members OF the printing board will
all be here this morning. AT the meeting
held last Monday the adjournment was
made until 1890 o'clock this morning, when
IL was expected the bids would nave been
fully extended and verified and the contract
would be let.

ROBBED DOCTORS ROW
A BURGLARS TOUR AMONG PHYsI-
CLANS OFFICES ON OHIO STREET.
DIR. Hart Accidentally Stumbles on n
Negro with Stolen Goods in His
Possession.

A burglar who evidently didn't know just
what he was after visited Doctors row
between 6 and z o'clock last night. The
offices of DR.. Hart, at No. IA. DR.. McShane,
at No. 26. and DIR. Jameson, at No. 80 East
Ohio street, were entered while the physi-
clans were at supper. When Dr.. McShane
left his Office he locked the doors to his
consultation and operating rooms. He hung
the keys to these apartments on a nail in
the front office and left the front door I'M
locked. DIR. Hart and DIR. Jameson did the
same thing. The burglar coolly walked
into DR.. McShane's Office, took the keys
from the wall and unlocked the doors Of the
other rooms. His search was hasty. The
first thing he came across was the Doctors
bank book, which he couldn't possibly use.
This he pocketed, with a couple of powder
blowers and an atomizer. He hrust aside a
valuable case of surgical instruments and
a number OF other expensive articles. Next
he visited DR.. Henry Jameson, two doors
east. Here he detached the atomizer taken
from DIR. McShane and left part of the in
strument on the operating table. He went
through all of the rooms, but left without
disturbing anything OF value. The last visit
was made to the Office of DR.. Hart. h
Doctor had carelessly left a fifty-dollar
suit of clothes and a twenty-five-dollar
overcoat in his back room. These garments
the burglar confiscated and escaped through
a back door. DR.. Hart returned to his Of
flee a few minutes before z o'clock and
missed his clothes. He quickly noted the
evidences OF a burglars visit and started
out to hunt a policeman. At the corner of
Pennsylvania and Ohio streets he saw a
young colored man with a bundle under his
arm. The man seemed to be waiting for a
car. Dr.. Hart walked up to him, placed his
hand on the bundle and asked:
"What have you there, my man. The
negro muttered an unitelligible reply and
started to run. DR.. Hart followed and
chased the man west on Ohio street to Illi-
nois street. where the negro dogded into a
saloon. The Doctor followed and got close
enough to recognize his overcoat, one
sleeve of which protruded from the bundle
"You are under arrest. I'm a detective
said the physician, boldly approaching the
fugitive. The negro dropped the bundle and
begged the Doctor not to shoot. The ply
stefan started TO the police station with his
prisoner, but met detective Kinney on the
way. At the station house the negro gave
the name of George Wilson and said he
lived at No. AS West North street. He de-
MED having stolen the goods. but said he
bought them from a white man. He was
locked up on the charge of burglary and
grand larceny.

Maryland street. drew a pistol and fired at
Frank Ash, of No. 40 West Court street,
yesterday afternoon. The shooting occurred

fired a %bystander pushed the weapon aside
and the bullet buried itself in the ground.
Bartlett was arrested on the charge of
with intent to kill. He claimed
that the shooting was the result of mis-
taken identity. He mistook Ash for .Lud

time ago. He says that Ash and Hedges
closely resemble each other, and in his rage
he was unable to identify the former.

r ASPHALTSTREETS
Works BOARD WANTS COUNCIL To
PROHIBIT sPRISKLING on THEM.
Thirty-Five Men at Work in
Downtown Districts.

The Board of Works spent nearly all of
yesterday In consideration OF the street.
cleaning question. The contractors were
before the board during the morning.
Mayor Taggart and Street Inspector Gar
rard were also present. The complaint
presented by the board was that the streets
are not being cleaned properly, and in very
plain language 1t was stated that the
streets must be cleaned. The new con-
tracts have been in force since last Mon
day. Some one offered the suggestion that
recent poor work was attributable to care
lessness upon the part of contractors whose
contracts had just expired and unavoidable
delay by the contractors who had just be-
gun. r. w. Furnas, OF the Indianapolis
Cleaning Company. acknowledged that
some Of the complaints were warranted,
but he stated that many new men had been
employed by his company, and they had to
be instructed as to the work. F. w. Fuehr-
ing, of Fuehring Bros, said his company
was willing and anxious to obey the spe-
cifications. The contractors stated objec-
tons to the new specifications, saying it
required two men to attend to work
formerly done by one. The %cleanings have
to be carried now to a place Of deposit,
while formerly the material was swept up
In piles and collected by wagons. The de-
post boxes are objected to by property
owners, and the present system is not sat
isfactory to the contractors.
During the afternoon the board consid-
cred altering the contracts SO that clean
ings may be gathered by wagons, as for
merly. The board will insist that the
streets be swept thoroughly and no dirt
allowed to lay along the curbs. One very
significant point In the days proceeding was
the Recommendation of Inspector Garrard
that ~thfrty-five men be stationed or the
streets for sweeping and clean
Ing. Mr.. Garrard estimated thirty-fve dis
tricts, with one man for a district, but ii
will require at least sixty men TO cover
the territory mentioned by him. If the
contracts with the cleaning companies are
carried out, there would be no necessity
for men. except on a few of the principal
streets. h appointment of the men would
allow Mr.. Taggart to remember some OF
his friends of the campaign. Mr.. Taggart
and members of the board declare the
streets must be kept clean.
Late yesterday afternoon a letter was
addressed to President Costello. of the
Council, asking the passage of an ordinance
governing the sprinkling of asphalt streets.
The board states ii is desired to nave the
streets SO we'll cleaned that sprinkling will
be unnecessary. The board hopes to have
an ordinance passed which will keep the as
phalt streets dry. More conferences will
be necessary before all matters can be set
tied, including Mr.. Garrard's recommends

year. The letter Is as follows:
Doubtless you have heard the news from
Ohio. While in Ohio / know you received
many fiattering assurances of support for
the presidency. The result OF the election
naturally p~recludes Ohio from any hope of
successfully presenting any candidate to

Whether the action of the Farmers
Mutual Benefit Association at it's recent
meeting in deciding TO cut loose from the
Populist party or other causes have done
the work. II seems TO be a fact that the
Populist party is rapidly going to pieces
in this State. and IL is believed that by
the next election there will not be enough
left of the party TO nominate a ticket. 1t
Is said that the officers OF the State COM
mittee will resign, leaving nothing for the
party to rest upon except bare principles.
II is also said that this proposed action of
the party leaders here Is based upon their
information that the members of the ma
tional committee will resign before the end
or the year.
Another thing that is believed to have
led 10 the downfall OF the party is the fact
that there is a distinct free silver organlza-
ton within the Democratic party. This
being the groundwork of the organization OF
the Populists. IL is believed that they will
gradually swing around to the free silver
wing Of the Democratic party. This would
probably have the tendency to maxi a
