RETALIATORY MEASURES.
Liquor Men Admit They Are Boycott.
ing Civic League Members.

The local branch of the Indiana State
Liquor League held its regular monthly
meeting yesterday afternoon at the Lor-
raine building. The deliberations of the
body were secret as usual and the doors
were kept tightly closed against intruders
1t is certain. however, that the recent cru
SADIE against liquor dealers in Indianapolis
was the topic OF discussion Several new
members were admitted and a number OF
applications for membership were received.
Secretary Callan. OF the State Liquor
League, was present, and after the meet
ing he said a few words about the move
ment against saloon Keepers. Said he:
THE Rev. II. V. Hunter, Col. Eli T. Ritz
ter and others who are talking so much
about liquor dealers don't seem to appre-
ciate that i-ere is a difference in liquor
dealers as well I'm men engaged in any
other kind of business. We OF the liquor
league are IS much opposed to WineroOms
quart shops and drugstore whisky shops
as any OF the gentlemen VINO are doing so
much talking. We will not ADMIT as a
member of our organization any man who
is engaged in illegitimate or immoral bust
ness, and our members are not members
simply because they are saloon keepers"
Mr.. Callan was asked II there was any
truth in the report that saloon men are
collecting evidence against the men who
have been active in securing indictments
for violation Of the liquor laws. lie said
that such work had been going on for two
months and was no new thing. He said
also that there was a disposition among
saloon men TO refuse to have business deal
ings with the men who are working against
them, and mentioned the case OF an insur-
ance firm which has already had several
thousands OF dollars in policies Withdrawn
and placed in other companies.
Mr.. Callan also took a SHOT at Represent
alive Nicholson. Said he: 1T doesn't
seem to me at all the square thing for Mr..
Nicholson TO shake his bunch Of bills. in
the House and threaten TO introduce them
If the liquor men do or don't do so and so.
If his bills are right they ought 20 be in
troduced regardless OF consequences. and II
they are not right they ought not TO be IN
troduced no matter what The liquor deal
ers do. IL they are right the saloon men
who are doing "A legitimate business want
them introduced as much as anybody.

THE INTERMEDIATE PRISON.

The Senate yesterday defeated Senator
Holler's bill for the establishment of a new
intermediate prison. This action, however.
does not necessarily mean rejection
of the principle of the bill or even
poStponement of the reform at
which it aimed. for these can be Sc
cured in another way. The bill pro-
vided for the establishment of new prison
To be used in connection with the indetermi-
nate sentence as a reformatory prison for
young and first convicts. The principle is
right. but the Senate seems 10 have con-
cluded that it be carried out without
a new prison or the additional expense
which that would involve. To do SO it would
only be necessary TO separate the convicts.

COMMERCIAL CLUB OFFICERS.

The board of directors of the Commercial
Club yesterday afternoon elected the fol-
lowing officers for the ensuing year:
President-William Fortune.

Secretary-Evans Woollen.
Treasurer-A. Il. Gates.

Messrs Morris and Metzger were APP
pointed committee to notify Mr.. Fortune
of his election, and to escort him to the
chair He addressed the board briefly. Civ
ing assurance that he would give TO the
work of the club his best efforts He said
that the Commercial Club OF indianapolis
had a record of having successfully carried
out more important undertakings in the six
years of its existence than any other COM
mercial organization in the country, and
that suggestions and advice regarding plans
of work were sought from ii frequently by
the officers of similar organizations in a
number of the leading cities who regarded
il a model public-spirited organization.
Still he believed it was merely in the in
fancy of its usefulness, and that with the
proper cooperation of citizens in the work
its future would be one of splendid achieve
ments in developing and promoting the best
interests of the community. The projectors
of the club had given care 10 building 1t
on an enduring foundation. so that its ex-
iStence and usefulness would not be Grip
pied by the antagonisms that must inevi-
tably be encountered in the course of cOur-
ageous and conscietious work. The organf-
zation is on foundation which assures it's
perpetuity and it's work will go on for all
time. There were some things that il might
be well TO give early consideration as a
means of still further increasing the
strength of the organization. and these
would be given early attention. He thought
year would be of this kind. but the club
would neglect no opportunity for advancing
the interests of indianapolis. in this work
the best efforts of the directors and all
members would he required. and should be
given as a duty OF citizenship.
The board received the annual reports of
the treasurer and secretary, and ordered
them printed. 1t Endorsed the bill now
pending in the Legislature providing for
the use of wide-tired vehicles.

A SUBURBAN LIBRARY.
West indianapolis School Board Be-
gins in n Small Way.

The new library in West Indianapolis was
opened to the public at o'clock yesterday
morning, and last night n special pro-
gramme consisting of music and addresses
was rendered for the visitors. During the
morning and early part of the afternoon
the visitors were few and at no time was
there a very large crowd in the building
until the public schools were dismissed and
the pupils began focking in TO see the new
treasury of literature. The announcement
of special programme in the evening
brought out a large number of the citizens.
and every room, even the Dookroom was
filed. The jam was so great that many
who had anXiously forced their way into
the building were as anxious to get out
side before they were in very long. The
reading rooms We're decorated with palms
which stood upon the tables, and above the
American flag was draped. Nearly all the
visitors made application for blanks in
order that they might take out a card and
enjoy the privileges of the new institu-
ton. Owing TO the large number of visitors
who were present and expected TO be en-
tertained no cards were issued to borrowers
yesterday, but all who apply to-day may
get their cards. The programme for the
evening consisted OF music by the High
School pupils. assisted by Ida NJ Goodwin.

on all sides.

A paragraph in yesterdays Journal mad
yertently credited John S. c. Abbott with
the authorship % the celebrated 'Rollo"
books whereas that distinction properly
belongs to his brother, Jacob Abbott. The
error is one for which there is some excuse,
however, since each brother produced a
long series of histories and biographies sim
liar in subject if not in style. The differ
ence in the character of their work is Well
defined by a correspondent, who says:
John S. g. Abbott wrote much and Well
but he was given wholly to fiction.
The lives of 'BonaDarte of Alfred the
Great and of Napoleon written by him.
are among the most daring and original of
imaginative creations. The author of the
'Rollo' and Lucy books was no romancer
nor a teller of idle tales. In no field of
art are there to be found more realistic
conceptions than these, Tlled as they are
with the vigor of New England life and
softened with the piety of Puritanism.

An Atlanta paper reports epidemic of
diphtheria among the dogs of that city.
The disease is said to be in virulent form
and to be killing the animals off rapidly,
the veterinary surgeons being unable to eff
feet cure The first symptoms of the APP
preaching illness are sluggishness and alb
sent mindedness. The happy wag of the tail
gradually gets weaker and weaker, and is
executed in a perfunctory and mechanical
way. Tears fill the eyes of the dog, and he
wears troubled anxious expression, the
tongue hangs red and swollen from the
mouth, and his fever. runs high. In seven
or eight days, unless a cure is effected,
the dogs system is worn out from ex-
haustion, and he dies. The appearance and
action of animals while suffering from
diphtheria resembles what is called dumb
madness. Cases of the disease have been
noticed among horses, the effects being the
same as with the dogs. If it is really
diphtheria. as the Atlanta doctors assert,
it would seem that the only effective sani-
claiming up of all dogs, if not the prompt
killing Of them before the malady had time
to develop. 1t has been proved repeatedly
that cats and dogs convey contagion from
one house to another by means of germs
upon their fur, but with the disease itself
attacking domestic pets the danger to their
human associates is UNNECESSARILY greater.
These animals are agreeable companions
under favorable circumstances, but the
prospect of epdemics of dangerous diseases
among them will lead to the conclusion that
their society can be dispensed with.

Governor Mount is undoubtedly correct
IN his opinion as to the inexpediency of per-
petuating two courts of appeal in the State.
The Appellate Court was created as a
measure of temporary relief for the Su-
preme Court. and should be so regarded.
If permanent relief is necessary it should
be in the form of an increase OF supreme
judges. This would require a change in
the Constitution, which at present limits
the number of judges to five, but this
would not be difficult of accomplishment
Our Supreme Court as now constituted is
about as strong. numerically speaking, as
that of other States with a. much or more
business. Massachusetts has a chief jus
tice and six associate Justices; Michigan
has a chief justice and five associate JUS
tees: Ohio. chief justice and five associ-
ates; Illinois. chief justice and six asso-
GATES The best way To relieve the conges-
ton of the Supreme Court is 10 improve
the character and quality of the lower
courts and thus lessen the ever-increasing
number of appeals.

MAKES A CONFESSION.
When he arrested the man Captain Splan
did not hardly know what charge to make
against him, but the facts as given above
soon developed. Won Burg at first declared
that he was all he represented himself TO
be and was very indignant. He claimed
that he represented Deboney * Co, or
Boston, dealers in church vestments. and
later said he represented HorSeman * Co.,
Of Cincinnati. This convinced Superintend-
ent Colbert that the man was a fraud and
he told him Won Burg then admitted
that he was a swindler. but declared that
this was his first offense. he made the fol-
lowing statement, in writing, signing his
name Frank Won Burg, Lieutenant Sec
ond GEM Regiment.
Il have no brother-in-law. l have made
this office to get money with the intention

more please ask questions. l hardly can

Superintendent Colbert believes the man
is a professional swinder. He says that
an amateur could not have carried out
every detail so thoroughly as did Won Burg.
Mr.. Messenger thinks the man intended 10
leave the city Monday night. At about D
Burgs office for a social chat with his
''gCod customer" and the latter asked him
to cash a check for SIS. This Messenger did
not do but he Immediately advised Com
stock TO get his diamonds. He was not wor-
ried about his own goods as they were not
of a kind that could easily be carried away.
He believes now that if he had cashed the
check, Mr.. Won Burg would have been sat
isfied to have left town with that amount
and Mr.. Constocks diamonds.
A letter was found in Won Burg s pocket
which was written him by his wife from
North Cramer HILL n. j. 1t was dated Jan.
2S 1885, and is therefore two years old. 1t
shows that Won Burg and his wife had had

writer addressed Won Burg joe Won
Burg admitted that the writer was his wife,
but said she is dead.
