OF President JacksOn's inauguration:

EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION.
Began Yesterday, and VIII he Con-
tinued To-Day.

Emancipation exercises were held in what
Is now called Chenoweth Hall, at the corner
of Shelby and Sanders streets, yesterday by
the colored people Elder Canady, of Nor
wood, had charge of the meeting. Dinner
was served yesterday and will be each day
this week. Last night Rev. H. c. Funk
houser and several others delivered adj
dresses. 1t was expected that Governor
Mount would address the meeting during
the afternoon, but through no fault of his
he was prevented from doing 50. Yesterday
was a busy day at the Statehouse, the tax
board, of which the Governor is a member,
having q large amount of work to do. On
this account Governor Mount sent a letter
to Elder Canady asking that he be sent for
when the time arrived for him to speak
so he would lose as little time as possible
from his duties. Not knowing the address
of Elder Canady he merely addressed the
letter to the city and he supposed it was
not delivered. He momentarily expected a
call from the colored people yesterday aft
ernoon, but they did not come for him.
To-day the colored people of the city will
have a barbecue at the cycle park on
Meridian street, north of Fall creek This
celebration is under the management of
Corinthian Baptist Church, Allen Chapel
and the Normal Cycle Club. There will be
a brass band and some bicycle races. The
principal speakers will be j. c. Adams,
John l.. Grifiths and R. B. Bagby.

guilty of neglect of duty. as charged by
Superintendent Colbert. Patrolman Sea-
mans and Stoddard patroled the district in
which Nit. Jackson is located They had
orders to visit the Eagles Nest ~roadhouse
every night at IL o'clock. A few nights
ago Stoddard telephoned the police station
that Seamans refused to go to Mt. Jackson
with him. Captain Quigley made a per-
sonal investigation, taking Sergeant Kruger
to Mt. Jackson with him. Seamans was
found sitting in front Of the gate of the
Central Asylum for the Insane, according
to reports made to the superintendent. He
explained that he was tired out as he had
come off a day run and was sitting there
to rest and cool OF. Several Of the officers
who have patrolled districts with Seamans
told the board that they had difficulty in
getting him to 20 over their districts. The
board decided that the evidence was sus-
tanned and dismissed Seamans for the bet
ter efficiency of the service

neglected his duty and he left the room

TRANSFER OF CONTRACT
GARBAGE CONTRACTOR JOHN M'CAR-
TRY GIVES VI THE JOB.
New Concern Takes It-ActiOn of
Board of Snfety-Capital-Ave-
nue. improvements.

John Mccarthy, of st. Louis, has trans
ferred his contract for collecting garbage
to the Indianapolis Sanitary Company, a
concern Incorporated Tuesday after the city
officials had agreed to ratify the transfer.
August Elbrecht is president, Samuel E.
Raul vice president and A. e. Halter secre-
tary of the sanitary company. 1t is TO all
effects and purposes a branch of the In
dianapolis Deslccating Company, which has
a ten-year contract for destroying all gar
bage delivered at Sellers farm. F. NJ.
Bauchman and Samuel E. Rauh are the
joint owners of the desiccating company
and will control the management of the
sanitary company.
AS has been known for some time the
city officials were dissatisfied with the in
efficient way in which the garbage contract
was being carried out and there were
threats of annulling it. Mccarthy, to save
the money invested in the business, decided
to sell to the Indianapolis Desiccating
Company. After several conferences the
city agreed to the plan as being a better
way Of solving the trouble than to annul
the contract with Mccarthy and relet it to
some one else. A good deal of time would
nave been lost. For several days negotia-
lions nave been going on which resulted in
tue Incorporation OF the new company
Tuesday.
There has not been a direct transfer;
Mccarthy has simply executed a I'VE of
attorney, constituting the sanitary company
his lawful agent Ito complete and carry
OUT the contract of May II, 1897. 1t is
stated in the document that the new COM
pany is to collect all moneys and that the
contract is made for a valuable and suffi-
Gent consideration"
There was a meeting at the office of the
Board Of Public Works yesterday at which
all details of the plan were agreed to by
the parties interested. Deputy City At
torney Bell being present to look after the
city's legal rights. The only thing that re-
mains is for the Indiana Trust Company
and Edward Butler, of st. Louis, Nc
Carthy's SuretieS, to agree to the transfer.
The Indianapolis Sanitary Company will
divide the city into forty garbage collection
districts, using forty wagons to gather the
garbage. McCarthy's wagons and mules
will be taken off his hands. Under the new
arrangements it is believed by the officials
that the work of removing garbage will be
done in a more satisfactory manner. The
indianapolis DeSiccating Company has
given the city officials to understand that
the plant on Sellers farm will be much en-
larged and there are promises that there
will be no cause for complaint after the
deal is consummated. Mayor Taggart, it is
said, approved the plan before he left for
