PEACE In THE ELK HERD.
Supreme Exalted Ruler DetwiIer
Quiets the Marion Trouble.

Meade c. Detwiler supreme exalted ruler
of the Elks, was in the city last night on
his way from Marion to his home in Penn
sylvania. Mr.. Detwiler has been making an
effort to settle the trouble which has risen
between the Marion lodge and the supreme
officials over the initiation by the Marion
lodge of Prizefghter Fitzsimmons as a
member of the order The lodge was sus-
pended as a result of it's refusal to expel
the prize fighter, but Mr.. Detwiler stated
last night that the matter had been fixed
up satisfactorily, and the cordial relat MS
between the Marion body and the supreme
organization had been restored 1t had been
the original intention to reorganlze the
lodge, and keep the Fitzsimmons enthusiasts
out, but there was no occasion to resort
to such extreme measures. The prize nghter
has helped affairs along by sending in his
resignation, explaining that he did not care
to antagonize the Elks. He would like to
become a member and believes that 1t is
the vindictiveness of Corbett and his friends
which has stirred up the row. F1tzsimmons,
having announced his retirement from the
prize rings, fails to see where his Ineligible
ity lies.
Supreme Exalted Ruler Detwiler is the
United States attorney for the Harrisburg,
Pa district and is prominently mentioned
as a gubernatorial candidate in that State.

THE MINING TROUBLES.
Labor Commissioners Failure at
Washington.

The state labor commissioners Messrs.
Mccormack and Schmid, returned from
Washington yesterday and reported to the
Governor yesterday afternoon the failure OF
their efforts to adjust the trouble between
Cabel & Co. and the miners formerly in the
employ of the company. The sticking point
was the refusal to reach an agreement
about the negro miners that have been
brought from Kentucky The company de-
cared that they had proven faithful and
efficient employees, and they would not dis
charge them. They were, however, willing
to take back as many of their old miners
as they could find room for by reopening
one of the mines that has been lying idle
The miners on the other hand were in
clned to make the return of the negroes
to Kentucky a sine qua non of their return
to work. The company declares that 1T
proposes to open the other mine, and If the
old men do not care to work in it they will
bring in others who do. Many of the miners
formerly employed by the company have
found work elsewhere and few of them
have gone back to the company. Under the
law the labor commissioners are powerless
to interfere unless both sides agree to sub
NIT the case to them.

POLICE AND THE EMPIRE.
superintendent Quigley'S Interview
with the management.

Superintendent Quigley was asked yester-
day what would be the policy of the police
department in regard to the indecent per-
formances at the Empire Theater. He said:
1.-THE show this week was an exceptionally
bad one in this respect. An officer was
present Monday night and ordered Manager
Zimmerman to have some parts cut out.
Tuesday sent for Mr.. Zimmerman and he
came to my office. / told him that such in
decencies as were given in the show then at
his house would not be tolerated; that the
people of Indianapolis would not stand it.
and that unless the performances in the
future were cleaner he would be prosecuted
and steps would be taken to revoke the IL
cense under which the house is open. Mr..
Fennessey came up from Cincinnati and the
same thing was said to him. They prom
ised that the shows hereafter would be pet
ter, and that all improper dialogue ana per-
Torrance would be eliminated.
Mr. Zimmerman says that the greatest
complaint is of the Monday afternoon per-
Torrance. Whenever a company opens ne
always instructs the manager 10 cut out I'M
clean features, and they agree to DO 1t.
Frequently the show has come here from
some city where there are no restrictions,
and after the manager has cut out what ne
considers Objectionable there are still many
things which Indianapolis will not tolerate:
1t is then necessary for him to call down
the manager and specify what is to be left
out In this way the show is cleaned up by
the second or third performance

MUST PUT UP CASH.
Indiana Traction Company and Troll
Iey-Line Franchises.

An all-day conference was held at the
Bates House yesterday by capitalists con-
templating taking up the. Clodfelter electric
road and pushing its construction from Ma
rion to Alexandria. This must be done be-
fore Jan. /, for some of the important fran
chises expire at that time unless the road is
in operation. Those present were: William
Christie, of Akron, o.; H. NJ. and E. f.
Loud, of Port au Sable, Mich; C. F.
Cleaver, of Battle Creek; Maj. 1. N. Downs,
of Battle Creek; Judge j. B. Tuthill, of De-
troit, and F. A. Maus, of this city. The
proposition is to organize a company to be
known as the Indiana Traction Company.
1t is estimated that 1920 900 will be required
are to put up half; Mr.. Maus, who has al
ready invested SGT 000, is to put up little
more, and the rest is to be furnished by
the others. AS there is but six weeks
time in which to finish the road, there can
be no bonds issued, but the cold cash must
be put up.
1t is the intention to push through the
track laying and for the winter use three
motors with gasoline generators. Then in
the spring the overhead work will be done
and the trolley cars put on. Another meet
ing will be held tomorrow to close the
matter up, If it goes through There was
something of hitch yesterday afternoon,
and Mr.. Maus did not attend the confer
ence in the evening.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
Increase of New Business Enterprises
I'm This Locality.

II. N. Castle, local superintendent of
Bradstreet's credit agency, speaks enter
tainingly of prospective trade conditions in
this neighborhood. One thing. that is en-
couraging is the rapid increase of new
business enterprises and trade concerns
Just now many inquiries are being re-
ceived with regard to the credit and stand
ing of new business firms throughout this
section. A compilation for the first three
quarters of this year shows that about 1000
more people were engaged in business
March l than Jan. !, throughout the coun-
try; that the increase the next quarter was
about 5000, while the increase was but 1900
at the beginning of the present quarter
The indications are that by the end of the
year the reports will show 10000
more people in business than at the
beginning, an average increase of 1900
each quarter. In 1892 the average increase
of the number of people in business was
10000 each quarter. 10000 for the year.
Indications are that next year will APP
proach TO what was one of the most sue
cessful in American business history.
I'VE cannot tell much from inquiries as
TO trade standings of the volume of busi-
ness that is being done, said Mr.. Castle,
las we try TO anticipate the needs of our
Eastern correspondents and show by our
reports the standing or their patrons with
out special inquiries being made. Eastern
merchants do and always have kept in
pretty close touch with the financial stand
ing of their patrons in this section. We take
il that the inquiries we receive concerning
new firms indicate that the volume of bust
ness is growing. We have, of course, no
way to tell how extensively dealers are
buying. An extensive manufacturer talked
to me the other day. Until the last few
weeks his orders were far in advance of
any he had known for several years, but
he said that orders We're beginning to drop
off, indicating that patrons are buying
close, and that next January and February
will be what are known as short months
that is when the dealers are closing out

1898 Meeting.
Messrs. D. NJ Parry Thomas Taggart and
Otto N. Frenzel have been at work for sew
eral days completing the finance committee
that is to have charge of the work of rails
ing funds for the Uniform Rank, X. Of p,
encampment next August. About eighty
names have been added. There is to be a
meeting of the executive committee to-
night, when the plans of work for the
finance committee will be approved and a
systematic canvass of the city begun at once.
Before this work begins a meeting of tins
entire committee may be called. Following
are the names of the finance committee an
nounced yesterday:

A number of important subjects are to
come up before the executive committee
Among other things a prospectus of the
work is to be drafted. This will be given
out for the information of prospective SUBJ
scribers to the encampment fund. Frank A
Maus, chairman of the finance committee
says that one-half of the expenses of the
encampment will be borne by the order
and the general public will be asked to con-
tribute the remainder of the fund. Major
Ross, chairman of the executive commit
tee, estimates that the encampment can be
managed with $4,000. Indications are that
over 100000 people will be in attendance for
a week or more, and that $40 is a conserva-
tive estimate of the amount of money that
each will spend. This would bring over
81 100000 into Indianapolis. The Supreme
Lodge and Supreme Tribunal are to be in
session during the eight days of the en-
campment and the week following it.

1. o. o. r. GRAND LODGE TAKES
FINAL STEPS In BUILDING MATTER.


The I. o. o. F. Grand Lodge yesterday
approved the report of the building commit
tee, and authorized it to go ahead and erect
the building according to the plans of Rush
& Son, of Grand Rapids, Mich The indorse-
ment by the Grand Lodge of the acts of the
committee TO date and the action Of the
Grand Lodge yesterday in approving the
report carries with it the authorization of
the committee to borrow s25o,0O0 with which
to erect the new building. There was some
difference of opinion regarding the advisa-
bility of borrowing so much money from
outsiders. The grand master, in his report,
suggested that financial depression might
make it impossible to meet the notes and
cause the Grand Lodge to lose its accumu-
lation of years. He also suggested that it
might be well to raise part of the money
from the membership of the order in the
State.
The discussion of the matter led to the
adoption of the course of borrowing the full
amount. The rental value of the building
will be in the neighborhood Of $4,000 year
and there was little fear of the majority of
those voting yesterday that any payments
of interest or principal need be defaulted.
1t was argued that in such an event the
"
rescue and raise enough money to meet
payments. The matter of the erection of the
new building is still in charge of the Grand
Lodge. and this fact was made clear yes
terday when C. C. Binkley, of Richmond,
made the report of the committee on the
state of the order. The report left the i'm
preston that the Grand Lodge had Surren-
dered everything to the building committee.
This was objected to by members of the
building committee. and that part of the
report stricken out. 1t is the under
standing that work on the new building is
to commence as soon as the loan can be
made.
The Grand Lodge increased the taxation
of the subordinate lodges from to per
cent. Of receipts. For several wears the ex-
penses of the Grand Lodge have been
greater than the income. 1t is believed that
the increase will not need be in force more
than few years. A hat collection was
Home. and the sum of $201 was raised.
During the morning session memorial
service to John Reynolds was held, and
during the afternoon there was a service
in parting with the old building. 1t is the
last session of the Grand Lodge in the
place.
Oficers for the ensuing year were elected

BREEDER OF TYPHOID.
Conditions at a Dairy Farm in Noble
County.

From Noble county comes this description
to the State Board of Health of conditions
at dairy where typhoid exists, and from
whence the disease has been carried:
1.-THE we'll is forty feet deep, is dug and
walled with brick. 1t is within ten feet of
the Kitchen and under the kitchen there is
q cesspool lined with rotten plank. In the
floor is an opening into the cesspoll, and
the scrub water and Stops pass through 1T
into the pool. Ten bloated dead rats were
floating in the liquid of the pool and hor-
rible stencil rose therefrom. The pool water
certainly finds it's way into the well, only
ten feet away The well water is used for
rinsing milk utensils, and sample for
analysis find herewith"
DR.. Hurty's report of analysis of this
water reads as follows:
Water sample No. 104 from dairy, is
shown by analysis to be badly polluted
Every point of the chemical analysis proves
gross pollution and the ARCHAEOLOGICAL ex,
animation shows the presence OF intestinal
bacteria. This we'll is absolutely condemned:

their stocks and taking fresh invoices be-
fore beginning next years business. Busi-
ness men with whom / have talked here
speak hopefully. Many have doubled their
business, others have increased so to 40 per
cent. over a year ago The great barom-
eter by which the condition of trade can be
best judged is the bank clearings. Reports
have showed that Indianapolis is in very
good condition, as they have run as high
as 30 per cent. ahead
Then. there is the wheat crop. Indica-
tions are that the acreage will be as large
as last year. People are expecting another
large crop. That encourages business and
puts confidence into trade"
