READY FOR THE TRIP
FINAL ARRANGEMENTS ON THE
PHILADELPHIA JOURNEY.
Meeting in the Interest of the l.. A. w,
Meet for 1S9S-Change In the
Delegation.

A meeting of the Indianapolis meet COM
mittee, which is to Sc cure for this city the
national meet of the l.. A. w. for 1895
was held yesterday afternoon at the Com
mercial Club. NJ. A. WooIlsn, a repre-
sentative of the indianapolis Board of
Trade, found that it would be impossible
for him to accompany the delegation to
Philadelphia, and his resignation as chair
man of the committee was accepted. AL
bert Sahm was chosen to act in his place.
Mr.. Sahm is as enthusiastic as Mr.. Wool
len in his desire to bring the wheelmen of
the Nation to Indianapolis next year. He
has consented to go to Philadelphia and
as an earnest of what might be expected
of him in the way of hard work at Phila-
delpha, came to the meeting yesterday
with his coat off figuratively and literally,
and ready for anything which might be
presented.
The question of when and how the COM
mittee shall make the trip East was set
tied OF the ten who go as representatives
of the five organizations which are at the
back of the movement, five will go over
the Pennsylvania route and five over the
Big Four and Chesapeake & Ohio route.
The c., II. & D., in connection with the
Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern road, has
also made a special low rate on account
of the Philadelphia meet and number of
Indianapolis people will go over this route.
The press committee will reach Phladel-
phia. on Monday as to be on the ground
to meet the outside newspaper correspond
ents as they arrive The work of this COM
mittee is looked upon as the most important
as the influence it may exert extends very
much further than the Philadelphia meet.
The decision reached at the last meeting
of the committee regarding souvenir
badges and literature for distribution at
Philadelphia was reconsidered and it was
decided that buttons two inches in diameter
be purchased and the press committee was
authorized to draft and have printed a
leahet setting forth the chief attractions
of indianapolis as a place for holding the
meet. Secretary Woollen reported that he
had engaged headquarters for the commit
tee at The Walton Hotel
1t has developed that a large crowd will
attend the Philadelphia meet from this city
and every Indianapolis and Indiana visitor
will be expected to take an active part in
pushing the claims of this city. Three
roads, the Pennsylvania. the Big Four and
the c., Fl. q D.. have made exceptionally
low rates which are being taken advantage
of by wheelmen from all parts of the State.
AS all these roads make indianapolis the
starting point, ii is probable that a num-
Der of special cars will have to be run to
accommodate the Indiana people.

ITS LICENSE REVOKED.
Affairs of the Kentucky Life and Ac-
cident Company in Bad shape.

FRANKFORT, KY, July 29-The attor-
ney general for the insurance commission
err filed in the State Fiscal Court to-day
a petition containing sensational statements
and praying for the appointment of re-
ceiver for the Kentucky Life and Accident
Company The license to do business in
Kentucky was revoked by the commissioner
last night. The second paragraph of the
petition, among other things, says: PLANT
iff further says that the defendant has eX-
ceeded it's power and authority, failed TO
comply with the provisions of the law and
that it's condition is such as TO render it's
further proceedings hazardous to the pub
lie and to its policy holders. The petition
saws that it violated the law in that it
made incorrect and false reports of it's fiscal
condition to this department. The said de-
PENDANT has failed and refused 10 hold
stated annual meeting of its policy hold
ers at any time during the last three years,
as required by Section 66l etc. That SAID
defendant has changed its bylaws within
the last two years and failed and refused
to mail to policy holders notices OF Sucn
changes. 1t made various and Sundry as
sessnlents upon it's members and failed and
refused to state in notice of said assess
ments the cause for same and the amount
paid upon the last death claim, or the
cause of death or the character of disease.
The petition says that the assets of the
company are from year to year declining;
that in 1894 they amounted to $1,000; that
in 1887 they amounted 10 less than X0U,OJ0,
that during said time the liabilities have
increased and if the company is not al
ready insolvent it is rapidly growing so.
Accompanying the petition is the report of
Special Commissioner c. 3. Bulick who
was appointed to examine into the affairs
of the company several weeks ago. This re-
port shows up the affairs of the company in
a very bad light and questions the legality
of its methods as Well rs the moral turpi-
tude that would permit of them. 1t says
that two sworn statements recently made
by the company to the commissioner are
confessed by the officers to have been "all
wrong and self-contradictory one state
ment. he says. is that the company owed
no borrowed money, when il had recently
borrowed s. 900 from one bank, and that the
amount given as due on losses. etc. was
manifestly incorrect. while the books peg
tanning thereto were poorly kept and dini-
cult of examination. He further questions
the manner by which the affairs of the
old Mutual Benefit Assurance Fund Com
pany were merged into this company. and
whether or not the company will resist the
application for a receiver is not known.

innings on Monday. Frank Foreman went
into the box again to-day feeling that he
had another triumph in store. For two
innings he held his antagonists down to
three hits and one run. In the third, how
ever, the pyrotechnics were set off in great
shape. Nyce, the first man up, hit for two
sacks, George for one, Glasscock for three
and Shugart for q home run. Four runs
We're in and nobody out. No more runs re
suited in the inning, although Denzer made
hit. With one man out in the seventh
George hit for three bases. Glasscock
Shugart and Parrott for one each, Spies
was hit, Denzer poked one to Gray too
fast to field and Mcbride was hit. McFar-
land rounded out six runs for the inning
by dropping Nyce's fly. Against this fusil-
lade the Hoosers could do but little. They
scored a couple of runs in the first in
ming on a pair of hits and two muffed flies
by Hollingsworth. Hogriever and Gray
opened with hits in the third and one of
them scored on two outs. Mccarthy tai

CLEVELAND, O.. July 29-This was the
red letter day at the Grand Circuit races.
and the free-for-all pace with Star Pointer.
Joe Patchen and I.ottie Lorraine as the
stars, was the principal attraction. The
day was perfect, the sun shining brightly
and the track was in fine condition. The

a double team. The first quarter was COW
