FIRE BELLS WILL RING.
Board of Safety Rescinds Its Former
ActiOn-The Reasons.


ActiOn-The Reasons.
The Board of Public Safety has reversed
itself again. A few days ago it was an
nounced that owing to the many complaints
against ringing the fire bells, particularly
from the fremen, who were bothered by
the presence of hundreds of wheelmen who
ride to fire every time they hear an alarm
rung in, the ringing of the outside bells
would be discontinued. At a special meet
ing held yesterday morning the board re-
scinded the order. 1t was stated that while
the board considers that there are several
excellent features connected with the nom
ringing of the outside bells, still it feels
that on account of the danger of life and
limb by the fire apparatus in going to fires,
and complaints that have been made of
the same, and also in soaring horses on the
streets, it will be better to have public
alarm.
Another important reason for the change
is that the fire companies In this city are
not composed of as many men as most
other cities of the size of Indianapolis, and
when the men are at meals, and off duty,
they are out of hearing of the present silent
signal, and consequently are unable to re-
port at fires. If the silent alarm is con-
tinued it would necessitate increasing the
number of men in the fire force. The board
will instruct the superintendent of police
to see that bicycle riders do not violate the
law by fast riding to fires and also that
they do not interfere with the work of the
fremeu.
Special police powers were granted to
David Freeman at the South-street yards of
the p, c., c. q ST. Louis Railroad Com
pany, and to William Simms, at the Saliva
ton Army tent, corner of Massachusetts
avenue and Walnut streets.
There has been trouble In the Antioch
Colored Church, corner of Howard and
Thirteenth streets, owing to the misconduct
of undesirable persons who disturbed the
meetings. Not long since the board con-
ferred special police powers on John Mag
gard and Joseph Parker. NJ. L. Van Buren,,
chairman of the board of trustees, yester-
they were not Just the right kind of men
for the place. One OF them. he said, kept
his ears pricked for a chance to pounce
down on some one and took every chance
that offered to scrap with outsiders. Mr..
Van Buren, asked the board to appoint men
with less belligerent dispositions. The re-
quest will be granted

select the route that pleases them.
As TO the cost of the trip DR.. Heath
thought any economical person could make
IL for about $95. He was unable TO announce
the exact sum required for railway fare
but he thought il would be about S54. He
said the Central Traffic Association would
meet to-day and decide on a rate. Tourist
but the assignments will be made here.
The price of a double berth in a tourist
sleeper from st. Louis to San Francisco
is $3.50 going and S. returning. A double
berth in a Pullman sleeper can be had for
SIS each way Pullman sleepers can be
procured here.
Miss Jennie Mason state secretary of
the Christian Endeavor societies, spoke of
delegates while en- route and in san Fran
cisco. She read letters received from the
societies of San Francisco and Salt Lake,
bidding the Indianians cordial welcome.
IN San francisco the delegates from ms ~.
section are to have quarters in the ST.
Nicholas Hotel. Miss Mason said the
women who make the trip should take
plentiful supply of warm clothing, prepared
10 soJourn for time in very uncertain
climate. The secretary also recommended
some things to eat on the way and some
that should be avoided.
Rev. j. Cumming Smith, who resided for
a time in San Francisco, addressed the
meeting on some of the things the dele
gates would see on the way and in San
Francisco. He said he had crossed the
continent from ocean to ocean thirteen
times and knew something of the pleasures
and inconvenience of travel. In his opin-
ion the best route to take in returning from
San Francisco would be the Canadian Pa
cific. He said he knew the climate of Cali
fOrnia well and suggested that all who con-
template going take with them an outfit
spoke of many points of interest which the
delegates should visit in San Francisco.

Church to discuss the contemplated trip

the church was filled with Endeavorers,
many Of whom expect to attend the conven-
ton. There was much interest in the report
of DR. f c. Heath, who is acting as master
of transportation for the societies.

NEW COMPANY BID HIGH.
Little Hope of Asphalt Competition
from 1t.


When the bids for asphalting Kentucky
avenue were opened, yesterday, the Board
of Works and the mayer were completely
disguised to find that the new company bid
q little higher than some of the old COM
panies. When the new company made such
strenuous efforts to have the specifications
changed so that it's mixture could be used
there were predictions that the new COM
pany would come into the combine. The
Warren-Scharf Company bid 1892; Breck-
inridge Asphalt Company Cknown as the
parent company of the Germo- kentucky
bid $4 the Indiana Bermudez Asphalt Com
pany. $405 and the Western Paving and
Supply Company A.01. The board did not
award the contract
There was a lively wrangle in the office
before the bids were opened. W. l.. ray
Tor appeared at 1915 o'clock and asked TO
substitute a bid for one already presented
by the Breckenridge Company. Permission
was granted. Other asphalt men protested
that the hour named for receiving bids was
10 o'clock. Bart Parker, clerk of the
board said that Ii was customary to re-
ceive bids a little after the advertised hour
so long as none Of the others had been
opened The board disregarded the objec-
tiCns raised, but after adjourning prepared
an order providing that no bids shall be
received later than 10 o'clock, and that
bids once received cannot be Withdrawn
after that hour without the consent of the
beard Mr.. Taylor explained that the only
reason he wished to substitute the bid
was that the manager bid on printed spec
ifcations supposed TO apply to Kentucky
avenue, but on coming 10 the city he found
that the hentucky-aVenue specifications
we're partly typewriter and were different
frCm the specifications recently printed.

ference between the mayor and Board OF

ANOTHER BOX-CAR FIRE.
Railroad Company Has Incensed PeO-
pie Living Near Tracks.

Another box-car fire occurred last night
on the Big Four tracks, in the northeastern
part of the city. They have been frequent
during the last few months and are all
supposed to be of incendiary origin. The
railroad has kept the sidetracks full flush
with street crossings, much against the will
OF the people living in the vicinity. Com
plant was made about this when George
crawford was killed at the NeWman-S street
crossing, ten days ago. The first last night
was near the Rural-street crossing. Two
cars were destroyed.

Employees at Kissels garden say that
Harry Smoad was mistaken when he told
the police that he lost his coat at that
place Sunday They say that if a coat had
been lost in the place they would have
known it, They think it extremely un-
reasonable that a man should leave his
coat there and not miss 1t until he had
taken a car and ridden back TO the city.
1t was also unreasonable that a coat should
have been lost there without their knowl-
edge The management keeps a careful
eve on all matters in the garden.

some Properly O1yners Pay Wore.

Some surprise is expressed at the peculiar
way in which the specifications for street
improvements are prepared by the Board of
Public Works. 1t frequently happens that
a street or alley that is TO be improved is
divided up into several sections, on which
separate specifications are prepared and
separate bids received. The result is that
frequently people on one block of a street
have to pay much higher prices for the
same character of improvements than their
neighbors in the next block. The contracts
let for improving alley east of East
street yesterday Illustrate this point. The
section of the alley from McCarty street
south to the first alley is to be improved
by H. T. Noting at - cents a lneal foot,
each side. The highest bid was 90 cents.
The next section extends from the first to
the second alley south of McCarty street.
J. II. Roberts got the contract at "A cents.
H. T. Noting got the contract for the sec
ton between the second and third alleys
south of McCarty street at 10 cents. An
other section of the same alley extending
from Lincoln to Minnesota streets is to be
improved by ]. H. Roberts at % cents.
There was a tie bid on the contract for
crawling Boone street from State avenue
to Spruce street Henry I. Noting and
Mankedick & Weiland bid 10 cents foot.
Cuts were drawn and Noting got the con-
tract For grading and graveling the first
alley south of Southeastern avenue, from
Warren street to the first alley east the
contract was awarded to II. T. Noting at
10 cents a lineal foot each side.

STRANGE was filed against the resolution for
