Refunding Bonds Are Good.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
JEFFERSONNILLE, Ind, June "a. - In
the Circuit Court to-day Judge Gibson dis
solved the injunction which prohibited THE
city of Jeffersonville from refundingi the
$S7, 900 worth of bonds issued in 1876 for
building purposes. The legality of these
bonds was questioned when the refunding
of them came up, and a friendly suit was
filed by n. Fl. Myers to test their validity
1t was taken to the Supreme Court and the
latter decided that the City Council when
it issued the bonds, did so without author
ity. A legalizing act was therefore passed
by the late Legislature. To prevent the
bonds being refunded under that act SEN
ator Louis Schneck, who is a large prop
erty holder here, filed an injunction suit
in the Circuit Court to prevent the refund
ing. A temporary injunction was granted
and the matter taken under advisement by
Judge Gibson, who to-day dissolved the
injunction and declared the enabling act
constitutional. The bonds We're originally
issued for the purpose of building a new
courthouse when the county seat was
moved here.

Interesting to Music Teachers.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CONNERSVILLE. Ind. June A.-The
second days meeting of the Indiana Music
Teachers Association convened at $50 this
morning. Miscellaneous business was first.
Mr.. Gantvoort objected to having his paper
published in the Home Music Journal, as he
desired to have it copyrighted, but it was
decided according to rules to be the prop
erty of the association and will be pub
lshed. Owing to the absence of several who
were on the programme many changes were
made necessary. Mr.. Black, in his Random
Thoughts" said teachers should act in
unision, set aside pet hobbies and these
meetings should be conducted so as to be
far-reaching In Random Shots Mr.. But
Ter is of the opinion music teachers should
impress the value of the mental discipline
offered by the study of music. The main OBJ
ject was to make musical men and women
out of the pupils. Mr.. Griffe reiterated the
words of Mr.. Black that so many incompe-
tent teachers of music would make public
school work failure. Parents make the
judges than the teachers. Miss Longman, of
Terre Haute, thought teachers should have
nine-tenths teaching ability and one-tenth
musical knowledge. Mr.. GantVOort thinks
the teachers art is to make the pupils want
to learn and understand. The music of the
public schools is only small fragment of
music in general. President Stabler during
the course of mis- remarks, said in credit
to ConnersVille that the first days work
of the L. NJ: 4: A. had never been equaled.
The unavoidable absence of Mr.. DUNCAN of
Indianapolis, and Miss Love of Muncie, was
regretted. Mr. Straub, of Chicago, was also
absent, but he sent his paper on Ear
Training" which was read by Mr. Giffe
His idea is that the ear needs as much at
tention as the eye and mind otherwise
pupils become mechanical In their music
with conception of their own. The recital
of Mrs. Lillian Wilcox Herschey, of Bloom
ington, Mr.. Hubert Snow White of Indian
apolis, and Mr.. w. A. Curl, of Cincinnati
proved a very pleasing feature and closed
the afternoons programme In the evening

nelu SuHlcleHt 10 cause tNe suspension or
expulsion of a student. This state of af-
fairs was brought about through five
years of slow but sure progress. Five
years ago several students were arraigned
for cheating in examination. The fraterni-
ties of which they were members took up
the fight and several personal encounters
took place between different students. At
one time il looked as If at the next meet
ing of the board of trustees the fraterni-
ties would be barred out of the institu-
ton. This was followed by an agitation Of
ba cub IaI "a tf.,t, Of
a court of honor, to which all such matters
are now referred. This court consists of
four seniors, three juniors. two Sopho-
mores, and one freshman. They nave been
given the power by the faculty to compel
the attendance and testimony of Witness
es. Their decision is final unless appeal is
made to the faculty. II has worked well
and cheating on final examinations at the
university is now a thing of the past. The
decision of the boys to put booking" on
the same plane with cheating on eXamina-
tions is expected to yield the same results.

Hook to-day Capt Sargent of the Cramps,
who is to repair the damaged bottom, was
to-day unloading the cruiser.
Late yesterday afternoon diver made
the descent to ascertain the extent of the
damage, and he reported to Capt. Cook
this morning. Owing to the difficulty in
reaching the cruiser from the shore the
nature of the divers report could not be
learned. The ice is still packed between
the Pennsylvania shore and the vessel.
Capt. Sargent says that 500 tons of guns
will be taken from the cruiser in addition
to the ammunition, and If necessary her
stores will also be unloaded. In order to
tighten the boat two feet nearly 600 tons
will have to be removed. Capt. Cook
states that he could make the League Is
land navy yard where the

lightering, but that it will save time to
unload al Marcus Hook and thus prevent
possible delay at League Island.
The Brooklyn has a safe anchorage at

SALE OF THE UNION PACIFIC.
SENATOR THURSTON SPEAKS on
THE ALLEN RESOLUTIONS.

He FavOrS Acceptance of the PropO-
sition Which VIII Net the Governs
ment 81 Per Cent. of Its Claim.
He Expresses the Opinion That the
People of the Country DO Not Fa-
vOr Government Ownership, OF the
Railroads.
Washington, Feb. 5.-The two resolu-
tions offered last week by Mr.. Allen, pop.
of Nebraska, looking to impeding or
preventing the sale of the Union Pacific
railroad property under a judicial decree
of foreclosure, were to-day discussed at
much length by Mr.. Thurston, rep, Of
Nebraska. He argued. in contradiction
of Mr. Aliens contention, that tho right
Of the Attorney General to appear for the
government in the foreclosure proceed
inss was absolutely beyond question. He
also declared his belief that the people CT
the United States were not, and never
would be ready to enter upon govern
ment ownership and operation of rail-
ways. He showed that under the law and
under various decisions of the supreme
court, the lien of the government did not
cover the Omaha railroad bridge and APP
proaches. and only applied to the portion
sidy bonds were issued; and he favored
strongly the acceptance of the offer of
the syndicate to bid on an upset price
of $i5,0OO.0O0 for the government interest
in the road Qncludilg the company's
sinking fund.-, which would net to the
government about 100000. or some 81
per cent. of its claim against the com
pany.
The morning hour expired before Mr..
Thurston finished his speech, and the res
olutions went over till tomorrow.
The Nicaraguan canal bill was before the
Senate for the remainder of the days ses-
sion. Mr. Villas occupied the floor all the
time in the delivery of his third days
speech against the bill. The speech was
varied with roll calls to enforce the pres
ence of a quorum, and as it was apparent
that Mr.. Villas was talking against
time" the friends of the bill made a
rather feeble effort to sit il out but
eventually yielded to the inevitable and
agreed to an adjournment, which took
place at $50 O'clock
An enormous floral structure, consisting

base, stood upon the desk of Mr., Dubois,

from his unsuccessful campaign for re-
election. and who was warmly welcomed
back again by senators from all parties.
