SOME EXPENSES REDUCED.
Reports the Governor Has Received
from State Institutions.

Governor Mount is beginning to see good
fruit from his lecture on economy delivered
to the managing boards of the state insu-
tutions a few weeks ago. The managers of
the Female Reformatory have looked over
their institution and find they can make
reduction of per cent. in the running eX-
penses of the institution. superintendent
Johnston, of the School for the Feeble
minded, has written John M Spann, one OF
the trustees, letter In which he says: L
am beginning to think that Governor
Mount is right in many respects in his eff
forts to reduce expenses. He transmits
an account showing that IN 1891 the run
ming expenses of the institution have aver
aged $3l6.16 less a month than during 1883,
with an increase of twenty-six per cent
in the population, and declares that ne mas
been able by going through the ngures TO
make further reduction of $3.50 month
without impairing the efficiency of the in
Stitution.
Concerning the question of the salary of
the bookkeeper at the Blind Institute, Gov
ernor Mount said yesterday: The Journal
was mistaken when it stated that Mr.. King
would not accept reduction Of salary. Mr..
King received II, 900 a year as bookkeeper.
He could not perform the work of
stenographer or typewriter and Professor
Glasscock was compelled to carry on all
his correspondence with his own hand. Mr..
King would have accepted the reduction of
$500 a year, but he could not do the work.
The bookkeeper selected is also ste
nographer and typewriter and receives put
5000 a year. In consideration of this IN
creased efficiency, Superintendent Glass
cock accepts cut of $500 a year IN ms
salary. Here is a saving of $500 year to
the State with better service. Mr.. Johnston,
of the School for Predetermined Youth, has
been able to make notable reduction, and
] am satisfied that the thorough inVestiga-
ton of the subject set on foot will result
in the saving of thousands Of dollars with
out in any way Gripping the efficiency of
hearty cooperation of the managing
boards and superintendent.

A FESTIVAL NEXT YEAR.
GuarantOrs Decide to Hold One-Neyy
Officers Elected.

There was a meeting of the May festival
guarantors at the Century Club rooms of
the Denison last night, and, after long
discussion of festival prospects, besides a
review of the last festival it was decided
unanimously to give another festival next
year. A number of the guarantors reported
that they had heard frequent expressions
from business men that they would con-
tinue to Loyalty support the institution
both by contributions to the guarantee
fund and by their patronage of the festival
1t was a sentiment of the meeting that it
would be well to provide for a reduction of
the price of admission to the festival con-
certs, If possible, in order to make the con-
certs more popular. There was consider
able comment on the fine work of the main
chorus and the childrens chorus. The Gin
cinnau plan of preparing for festival ex-
penses was discussed, but it was decided
not feasible to adopt it in it's entirety. The
guarantee fund plan will be continued, and
in addition subscription sale for season
tickets will be opened several months be-
fore the festival. In Cincinnati about two
thousand season tickets are subscribed for
long before the festival opens, but it is
doubtful If this plan could be depended
upon in this city.
On motion of Mr.. Albert Metzger jr
seconded by Mr.. G.. A. Schnull, a resolution
was unanimously adopted by the guaran-
tors voting thanks to the board of direct
ors for its conduct of the 1897 festival. The
terms of three directors, Messrs. Ferd
Mayer A. ]. Beveridge and Andrew j.
Smith, expired this year, and these gen.
tlemen expressed the wish that new men
be elected to the board. The guarantors
however, voted unanimously for their re-
election. 1t was decided to empower the
board to appoint an advisory committee, if
it chose, of five members, to be selected
from guarantors and from leading musi-
clans of the city. After the guarantors
meeting a, meeting of the board of directors
was held and the following new officers of
the Festival Association elected:
President-Albert j. Beveridge.
Vice PreSident-GaVin l.. Payne.
Secretary-O. r. Johnson.
Treasurer-Andrew J. Smith.
Major Taylor is the retiring president
The board of directors is now as follows
Ferd Mayer, Major Taylor. Clemens Won
negut jr. A. J. Beveridge, G. c. Perry
Andrew j. Smith, w. T. Barnes, o. r.
Johnson and c. l.. Payne.
During the guarantors meeting Mr.. Sol
Hays expressed the opinion that the festi-
walls were of much benefit to the business
interests of this city. During the present
year not so much benefit was derived on
account of the fact that the festival was
held on the last three days Of the week
Mr.. Hays thought ii would be better, per-
haps. to have the event on other days of
the week than the last three.

STOVE COMPANY'S NEW PLANT
Indianapolis Cabinet Works Place
Sold for $4,000.

The Indianapolis Stove Company has
purchased the old plant of the Indianapolis
Cabinet Company, located on Malott avenue
near the Observation-Disclosures depot. The
deed to the property was placed on record
late yesterday afternoon. The Stove Com
pany paid $4,000 for the property. The In
dianapolis cabinet works were operated by
the Collins at the time of the failure of
the Indianapolis National Bank.
Henry W. Bennett, president of the In
dianapolis Stove Company, says that the
work of remodeling the plant will begin at
once. Beside changing the present build
ings a good deal of money is to be ex-
pended in additions and other improvements
necessary to convert the place into first
class foundry for the manufacture of
stoves. The force of the Stove Company
will be increased to $50 men. Mr.. Bennett
says that he hopes to have the new plant
ready for operation in about four months.
The Indianapolis Stove Company is one
of the oldest and most widely known con-
Germs of the kind in the West. In 1850 the
business was established by Deloss Root.
At that time the plant was located on
South Pennsylvania street, where the Gas
Company now owns. Some twenty years
ago Mr.. Bennett entered the firm as a
bookkeeper. La:er he became secretary
and treasurer of the company. When De-
los Root died. six years ago, Mr.. Bennett
was chosen president.
For the last fifteen years the firm has oc-
cuped its present quarters in property
owned by Mrs. N. A. Hyde. The capacity
and output of the plant has gradually in
sary for the firm to have more room This
was the main reason for its determination
to purchase the cabinet works plant. When
the new plant is completed it viii be one
of the finest and most complete stove foun-
dries in the country. There Is no inten-
ton to stop work at the old plant while
alterations are being made on the new
purchase.

A TALBOTT-AVENUE AFFAIR
Patrol Wagon Makes Its First APP
pearance on the street.

: Thomas Simon and William Bogardus,
neighbors living on Talbot avenue, near
old Fourteenth street, were arrested last
night on the charge of assault and bat
terry. The presence of patrol wagon in
that quiet neighborhood the first time it
was ever called there, caused considerable
excitement and Patromen Holtz and Wal
lace, who went up to make the arrest, had
a busy time of il for a few minutes. The
ARRAY between Simon and Bogardus hap
pened about s o'clock. Simon is about
thirty-five years of age and Bogardus is
twenty-one. AS Simon left his house he
met crowd of young fellows who, he says,
accoSted him in a taunting manner Some
thing about the conduct of Bogardus ir

struck the youth in the mead with stone.

Then he went home. His rather IN great

headquarters and ioatrolmen HoltZ and
Wallace were sent up. The elder Bogardus
demanded that Simon be arrested at once.
The friends of the latter declared ne was
not to blame and suggested that BogarduS
be taken in.
In, the meantime the neighborhood got

communicated this to the families Of the
men involved and excitement ran up

clared that her son should not be taken
down in the patrol wagon. The sister of
Simon chung to him and begged the police
to let her brother remain at home. All the
while the elder Bogardus demanded the
arrest of his sons assailant The police
talked and reasoned with the people in
vain. A physician who had been called to
dress the wounds of young Bogardus de-
clared he was in no condition to be put in
he did not think Simon should be subjected
to such a trip. Finally the police consented
to allow Bogardus to be brought down in

What SPECIAL Judges Cost.

The Governor, the auditor and the attor-
ney general have begun an investigation OF
the question of the pay of special judges
and it is found that during the last six
months this practice has entailed upon the
State an expense of about $1,000. Part of
this is in the nature of constructive fees,
the special judge charging one days pay
for the time spent in reaching the circuit
and another in returning. 1t is also a ques-
ton that has never been raised whether a
Judge under continuous pay from the State
is entitled to extra pay while sitting as
special judge. The great majority OF spe-
cial judges are regular judges called from
another circuit.
