MEAT FOR EXPORT.
Agricultural bureau Cannot Furnish
Sufficient Inspectors.

Governor Mount yesterday received let
ter from the Department of Agriculture
stating that the department was anxious to
increase the number of inspectors of meat
for export, but was unable to do SO with
the appropriation at its command. It will
call the matter to the attention of Congress
at the beginning CT the next session. The
letter was in reply to one written 20 the
department by the Governor n week ago on
behalf of the packing industry of this and
other cities.
1t will be remembered that some years
ago, when France and Germany shut out
American pork on the ground Of impurity.
system OF government INSPECTION was
provided, and since that time all meat ex-
ported has been under the seal CT the gov
eminent as pure Under this system the
export trade has grown away beyond the
capacity of the number of inspectors then
provided for. The demand for American
meat is so great that several moro Jpspec-
tors could be used at Ningaas and it is
claimed that the ArmoJr establishment in
Chicago could use at least sixty more. The
governor wrote to the oepa 'tment urging
this state of affairs upon It's attention and
begging the secretary of agriCUl to use
his best efforts to further promote the ex-
port trade

MORRISON ESTATE STOCK.
State Tax Board Adds $15O,OOO to the
Duplicates.

The State Tax Board held a brief session
yesterday afternoon to reach a decision
upon the question of listing the property
of the MORRISON estate, of Richmond, al
legged to have been sequestered from the
assessor for a number of years. The prop
erty in question was $166,000 of stock in the
Morrison & Palmer Drug Company, of
Chicago. The main reason given for the
fact that this stock had never been listed
by it's owner that it was taxed in Illi-
nois. The board added to the valuation of
the estate $l50,0O0 and this goes back as
far as 1884. 1t is estimated that the total
amount of accrued taxes upon this is about
$50 900. 1t is probable that the estate will
contest the collection of these taxes in the
courts.
To-day the board viii begin a session of
ten days for the purpose OF reviewing the
corporate assessments made during the first
session of this year. large number of
railroad representatives win be heard this
morning.

Murphy, a citizen of the city Of Indianap-
oils, and q resident and vCter of said city,
presents TO your honorable body and makes
the following charges against Bernard j.
T. Jeup, an employe of said city in the
capacity of city engineer.
''He charges that on or about the period
between the 9Th day of March and the 9Th
day Of April, 1886, one Dennis J. Wren was
employed as an inspector of the work be-
Ing done on certain sewer connected with
school building No. Is. on East Michigan
street, in the city of Indianapolis; that ;
such inspector said Wren was paid by the
School BOard OF said city Of Indianapolis
at q salary of $15 per week during the time
he was employed as such inspector, being
about four weeks; that the employment OF
said wren by said School Board and the
payment of his salary was with the knowl-
edge ana under the appointment of the said
city engineer.
He further charges that during the
time between the above named dates the
said Dennis j. Wren was also paid for his
services as inspector by the city of Indian
apos; that on or about April ! and May
!, 1896, pay rolls were prepared by the said
city engineer in which the name of Dennis
j. Wren was placed as being employed by
said city OF indianapolis and entitled to
be paid for his services as such inspector;
Board OF Public Works of said city, and
said Dennis J. Wren received from the
funds of said city pay for his services as
inspector during the period between the
dates named as aforesaid; that the said
Bernard J. T. Jeup well knew that he had
been paid for such services by. the School
Board above referred to, and that said
Dennis j. Wrenn received double pay for
his services as such Inspector with the
knowledge and connivance of said city en-
gineer.
Wherefore, the undersigned petitions
your honorable body to investigate the
above charges as by law it is authorized
and required, and take such action in the
premises AS 1t may deem proper and just"
This was signed Dennis A. Murphy. The
affidavit was attested by Van B. Stiarwalt,
notary public.
When asked about the affidavit after the
meeting, Mr.. Costello said that he told
Murphy he ought to present his complaint
to the Board of Public Works, which was
responsible for Jeup's appointment Mr.
Costello says that he told Murphy that if
the Board of Works failed to act he had no
doubt one Of the councilmen could be found
to take the proper steps.
Section 81 of the city charter gives the
Council power TO supervise and investi-
gate all departments, officers and employees
of the government of such city and to eX-
anime into any charges preferred against
the same"
Ample powers are given the Council to
make such investigation, and to impeach
or remove an officer employee. There is
no rule of the charter or of the Council it
self which provides that everything coming
before that body must be introduced by a
member, so far as can be found in the
printed charter or rules.

AN INDIANA BADGE.
One Designed. for the w. II. G. En-
campment at Buffalo.

The presidents of the National Womans
Relief Corps from year to year design the
badge which is practically the insignia of
those who are delegates to these annual
national assemblages. The badges are re-
garded as souvenirs and are highly priced
by those who year after year attend these
meetings. There has been some COMPETE
ton by the respective presidents to pre-
sent handsome and original badge. This
year the honor fell upon Mrs. Agnes Hit,
president of the national corps, and her
friends think that the badge which Mrs.
Hit will give out to the Buffalo delegates
next week will be the most beautiful and
unique that has ever been made. 1t is
printed on yellow satin ribbon, three inches
wide and seven inches long. In the cen
ter of the badge is a likeness of General
Lew Wallace, as perfect as a photograph
over the portrait is the inscription: Eff
teenth National Convention OF the Wom-
ans Relief Corps, Auxiliary to the Grand
Army of the Republic" Under the por-
trait is a fac-simile OF General Wallace S
handwriting as follows: Perfect lives are
the treasures Of God.-Ben-Hur, Lew Wal
lace" Under this inscription are the
words: Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. &c and q,
1897"

NEWLY WRITTEN SONGS.
Several Composed for the Y. p. G. U.
Convention


Psalm singing will be one of the great
features of the convention. Some of the
songs have been especially prepared for the
occasion, and have never been sung before.
These songs are inserted In the handsome
souvenir booklets containing the programme
and similar information, and, as there
are thousands of these books ready for
distribution, it is expected that the entire
convention and audience will participate in
the singing. One noticeable feature of the
songs is their phraseology, the words be-
ing taken entirely from the Psalms.
There are two choruses, one for the day
sessions, to consist largely of singers from
other cities, and one for the night meet
ings, composed chiefly of local talent Each
chorus will number about $50, and will be
competent to fill the hall with the praise
from various cities will also take prom
songs of the soul" Quartets and soloists
from various cities will also take a prom
inent part in the musical programme Prof.
II. II. McGranahan, of jamestown, Pa,
accompanies are Mrs. II. II. McGranahan
and Miss Pearl Phillips, of Chicago. Prof.
McGranahan conducted the second rehear-
sal of the local singers at Y. M. &.
A. Hall last evening, when over three hum
dred participated, many of whom sang in
the May festival or in the Chapman Bill
horn chorus of several years ago.
O. H. Palmer has been organizing this
chorus for the last few weeks, and its work
last night was so successful TO fulfill
the highest expectations of Prof. McGran-
ahan. The members, he said, after the
rehearsal ARE nearly all trained singers
and they take hold of the work in a way
that shows they are Interested The chorus
is larger, stronger and better in every way
than l had hoped for.
The final rehearsal will be held this even
ing at TOmlinSOn HALL.

AN INSPECTORS DOUBLE PAY.
AFFIDAVIT Making Charges Against En-
Sineer Jeup.

There was one feature of the Council
meeting last night that escaped the eyes of
the large crowd of spectators who had
gathered expecting to witness lively times.
Dennis A. Murphy and one or two faithful
friends were disappointed when an affidavit
the former had presented to City Clerk
Stuckmeyer was suppressed. In the a1fida-
Wit Murphy made serious charge against
City Engineer Juep. Murphy charged that
Juep was cognizant of the fact that Dennis
J. Wren, an inspector in the engineers
office, received double pay for inspecting
a sewer at No. Is schoolhouse. Before the
meeting of the Council Murphy showed the
affidavit to James Costello, president of the
Council, and asked that it be read. Mr..
Costello told him that it would have to be
introduced by one of the councilmea. Muir
ply replied that he would get some one to
introduce it, He went TO the Council cham
