A NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
CONTRACT LET FOR ONE AT PARK
AVENUE AND FIFTEENTH STREET.
1t VIII Cost over $4,000 When Com
pIeted-A Statement of School
Board Finances.

At a brief session of the School Board,
last night, the contract for building school
house No. &c, at the corner of Park avenue
and Fifteenth street, was awarded to j. O.
Jungelaus for $31, 600. The bid of the Fuller
Warren Company TO furnish heating and
ventilating apparatus for $2,247 was also
accepted. For constructing the building,
the bids of other contractors We're as fol-
lows: William Kraas, $32, 275; J. G. Schu-
macher, $31, 800; Conrad Bender, $50, 1872;
George P. Smith, $33, 4S6; Fisher G. Myer
Company. $31, 065; Spielhoff & Son, $34, 359;
Salisbury & Stanley, $32, 249; for heating and
ve~Etilating apparatus, Kruse & Dewenter,
81, 750. A motion that the contractor be
required to complete the work by Jan. 20,
next, was lost, Mr.. Blackledge explaining
that he had consulted with the contractors
and had been informed that the work could
not possibly be completed by Feb. /, and
he said that if an effort was made to Sc
cure such q stipulation in the contract,
the whole deal might fall through. As a
substitute, the committee on buildings and
grounds was directed to secure an agree
ment for the completion of the building as
early as possible, as it is needed very
much.
The treasurer submitted a report show
ing oYerdrafts, and balances to Oct. /, as
follows Special fund, balance, s1S9, 704.11;
Mccoy fund, 81, 800; Gregg fund, $500. Is; Ii
brary fund, 81. 223.S9 Manual Training fund,
overdraft, $21, 1914; tuition fund, $3.50, 1889;
total overdraft, $3.50, 71S.S Actual balance
in the treasury Oct. /, $2,374.24. The sec
1etary's report showed that warrants for
81, 424.23 Were drawn during the month.
Contractor Tobip petitioned the board to
return a check for $500 he had voluntarily
deposited with his bid for the North IN
~dianapolis schoolhouse. His bid was after
ward withdrawn, owing to some mistakes
in his calculation. The check was ordered
returned, inaSmuch as no other contractor
had been required to deposit a check, and
Mr.. Tolin simply sent it of his own Volt
ton. President Scott suggested that the
committees adopt a rule in future provid-
ing that all bids shall be accompanied with
certified checks, to be forfeited in case the
contractors fail to make good their bids.
w. +. BarnettS request for permission
to use a room in school No. 40 for a night
school was refused, the committee on jul
dietary deci ling that the school would not
be under the control of the board. Lora
Marthens's salary was fixed at $500 a year
on the recommendation of the committee.
and Elizabeth Miller was appointed teacher
at a salary OF $3.50. from the beginning of
the present year. Virginia Crusius was APP
pointed subject to assignment by grade by
the superintendent, her appointment to
date from Oct. 10, 1896, to Feb. 1, 1897.

RESULT OF HARD TIMES
HENLEY, EATON & CO., WHOLESALE
HATTERS, MAKE ASSIGNMENT.
Assets and Liabilities About 4 1000
The ChntteI MOrtgages-Other Az
fairs of the Courts.

Henley, Eaton & Co., wholesale matters
at 120 and 122 South Meridian street, filed
a deed of assignment yesterday for the
benefit of the firms general creditors.
Everett Wagner was made the assignee. No
schedule of assets was filed, except a
schedule of notes and accounts receivable.
1t is understood that the assets will about
equal the liabilities, which are in the neigh
borhood of $40,0 900. Mr.. Wagner took charge
of the business late yesterday afternoon.
Previous to filing the deed of assignment
the firm filed three chattel mortgages. The
largest is in favor of w. f. Henley, as
secretary and treasurer of the Commerce.
Travellers Association, and is to secure him
for money advanced the firm from the
funds of that order. 1t is for SIG, 500.S 50.
Allen NJ. and Stcughton j. Fletcher are
creditors to the extent of 81, 700, which is
covered by a chattel mortgage. The third
mortgage is in favor of Laura b.. Eaton for
81, 700. Inability to make collections and the
great depression in business, causing a con-
slant loss in the management of the bust
ness, are the causes of the failure.

THE CHARGE WEDGED in.
Oil Men Cannot Make the NitrOglycer-
in Come Up or Go Down.

The cannisters of nitroglycerin which
lodged In the casing of the Bradley farm
oil well and failed to explode when the at
tempt was made to shoot the well have
not yet been removed. Contractor Gillick
has made various attempts to withdraw the
dangerous charge of explosive, but the cam
nisters seem to have become wedged in
the narrow casing and will not go down
nor come up. They. are about two hundred
feet above Trenton rock and if they were
exploded 1t is probable the well would not
be benefited and might be filled up below.
An attempt Will now be made to lower a
sharp tool and spear the cannisterS and
permit the nitroglycerin to run down into
the well and then cut the cannisters out
with the drill. The amount of oil pro-
duced BY the well has not diminished and
those interested think. If it can be shot it
will prove a. gusher. The well on the Foley
farm is not SO promising.

CITY HOSPITAL CONTRACT.
Board of Health Has a Dispute as t
a. Detail,

The Board of Public Works is having
further trouble over the work on the new
north wing of the City Hospital. This time
it is with the contractor. Yesterday Presi-
dent Morrison, of the Board of Health, re-
ported that the contractor was departing
from the original plans, and he said the
Board of Health would protest against the
acceptance of the work unless it was prop
erly completed.
The plans for the building contemplated
a room for nurses quarters in connection
with each ward. When it came to build
ing the walls no door was left ommuni
eating between the nurses quarters and
the ward, although the original plans
showed a door. DR.. Morrison informed the
Board of Public Works yesterday that the
room set apart for, nurses quarters would
be utterly useless for the purpose it was
intended for unless a door was cut in. The
Board of Public Works sent a letter to
Vonnegut & BONN the architects, directing
them to order the contractor to place a
doorway according to the plans. The archi-
tects We're also instructed to refuse to make
The contractors declared that they would
not cut the Doorway unless they were al
lowed extra pay when the matter was first
brought to their attention by DR.. Morrison.
Hence his complaint to the Board of Pub
lie Works.
Street Commissioners Herpeck was author
lied to have his men construct a drain from
the City Hospital laundry to the sewer at
the request OF Dr.. Ferguson, secretary of
the Board of Health.

A CHILD'S SAD ACCIDENT.
BatsOn Ross's Little Girl Killed Under
an ElwoOd Street Car.

Yesterday Myrtle, the four-year-old
laughter of Batson Ross. of this city, was
run over by a street car in Elwood and in
stantly killed. She attempted to cross the
track ahead of the car and was caught by
it. Her body was dragged some distance
before the car could be stopped. The ma
chinery of the car caught her head and
mangled it terribly. leaving her brains
scattered along the track. The reports
from Elwood do not indicate that the acct
dent was the fault of the motorman, but
leaves the inference that it was the
thoughtlessness of the child that was re-
sponsible. One arm and one leg were
ground into bits by the wheels. All that
was left of the child was an unacceptable
mass of flesh.

be only one Democratic ticket on the bal
lot in Indiana. He spoke the truth. There
is only one such ticket, and that bears the
device Of the head of Thomas jefferson.
and is made up of electors pledged to vote
for those grand old Democrats-Palmer and
Buckner. There is not a Populist on the
ticket. The legislative candidates of the
National Democratic party in this county
mated without consulting the pleasure of
the Populists. And the name of Mr.. Evans
Woollen, the National Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the Seventh congress-
ional district, was not submitted to the
approval of Populists before it was put
upon the ballot. So We urge all true DEM
ocrats to vote for Democratic principles
and Democratic candidates by stamping
the only regular Democratic ticket now on
the ballot, viz, the ticket under the head
of Jefferson. We submit that no ticket can
rigEtfully claim regularity and the sup
port of true Democrats which contains the
names of men who are not Democrats"

Sawyer and His Cane.

Frank Sawyer, of 2S Douglass street,
complained to Captain Quigley last night
of the treatment he had received at the
hands of two officers during the railroad
mems parade Thursday night. He said he
was standing between Alabama and Della
ware streets on Washington street in the
front line of the crowd on the north side
of the street. When the detail of police
came along clearing the way, he says a
patrolman pushed him back with such force
that be knocked down an old lady and in
jured her so badly that she had to be taken
home in q carriage. When he got up from
the ground, he says a captain or ser
geant took his cane away from him without
any reason whatever.
Captain Dawson has q cane at the police
station which he took away from a man on
the night of the parade, but he tells a story
of the affair which differs from sawyer
account. He says the man defied the po-
lice to make him stand back. and raised his
cane to strike the patrolman, when he
(Dawson) interfered and took the cane.
