LAST NIGHTS PRIMARIES.
A Merry Time Down i'm "Bilf" Flynn's
Bailivick.

Last nights primaries to select delegates
to the convention tomorrow were tame af-
fairs, compared with the Republican pri-
maries of few days ago that preceded the
congressional convention. Thomas Taggart
with the aid of County Chairman Bell, Thos.
l.. Sullivan, Charlie" Polster and a gang
of City Hall employees. among them Oscar
Pflumm Assistant Engineer Moore and
"Bert" Spencer, succeeded in running things
up in the Sixth ward, although, to tell the
truth there was not enough opposition to
make things interesting Along about s
clock Taggart hitched his horse the
north side of Posters saloon, and after
about fifty Of the ward workers had been
watered with IS beer-the glasses were not
so large as before the war prices obtained
the gubernatorial candidate and Chairman
Bell led the way into the fire department
house, where Taggart and some of his
friends were selected as delegates.
Things were not much more exciting down
at Celtic Hail. corner of West and Merrill
streets, one of the places an enormous
crowd may be expected during a close con-
test when beer flows freely. There was no
beer in sight last night, and the crowd was
gathered to put through the slate fixed up
by the county chairman, Taggart's willing
worker.
AS had been anticipated there was plenty
of excitement down in Sprinkling Inspector
"Bill' Flynns ba!iwick - the Fifteenth
Here the primary was held in the hall at
Phoenix Garden. The announcement Sun
day in the Journal that there might be a
locking of horns between the worthy "Bill'
and Commodore" Higgins aroused Flynn
to action. and before the primary called
to order three wagonloads of colored men
were brought down from the north part of
town. One wagon had sixty colored voters in
it, In the crowd were bell boys ard walters
from the Grand Hotel. Commodore" Hig-
gins was not on hand, as he was tied up
with weighty affairs of state in the Council
chamber. His followers were bewailing the
absence of the only man who can give
Flynn setback. but did their best to elect
slate which Higgins had CONSIDERABLY
fixed up for them after appointing one of
his co-Flynn hateTs to act as 'churman."
Flynn called the meeting to order. Like

Capt d. l. Mccormick, who was ordnance

will make him of great benefit to the regi-

formally notified of his commission being
sent
Lieut.. Charles H. Martin who was sent by
the War Department from Joliet ILL.,, to
recruit in Indiana for the signal corps, has
not yet done any work as his instructions
have not reached him here. He WILL how
ever, recruit fifty men in this State and
necessarily of a technical character the
preference will be given to the members of
the old National Guard Signal Corps. For
the fifty places there have been two hundred
applications already and as soon as the final
instructions come there will be no difficulty
in organizing the company. The old signal
corps, however, has only about twenty-five
men, so there will be room for several out
siders. There will be recruited beside the
comm SSioned officers five firSt-clasS and ten
second-clasS Sergeants, ten corporalS and
thirty privates. Captain w. S. Wright of
will get TO work to-day at the Capitol re-
cruiting for the signal corps. Lieutenant
Martin will not go into service with the
company he is now engaged in raising.

REILEY AND THE "KING.,
Charges and COuntercharges Between
the Rival Candidates.


Joe Kelley was Boosting last night that he
had Allen w. Clark beaten for clerk of the
Supreme Court. CLARK" he was quoted as
saying, has good many friends. but they
are men of little force, sentimental fellows
bound up in the 16-to-1 theory. 1 have not
such wide circle of friends, but 1 have
back of me the politicians and the schemers
who know how to pull me through. Clark
is gone
This angered Clark's friends, who do not
like the idea of being regarded as purely
sentimentalsts and Reiley's talk put them
on the alert. There was an open assertion
that Kelley is only a straw candidate set
up by Taggart to take away part of Clarks
strength, and that when the time comes his
following is to be turned over to Henry
WarTum, an Indianapolis man. The reason
for this is clear. Taggart will control the
convention. 1t is his purpose to fix all In
dianapolis men on the ticket now so that
they can not bob up in 1900 and interfere
with his gubernatorial aspirations. The
fewer candidates there are from Indianapo-
lis in that year the better off he will be.
Kelley is posing as Jennings county man,
although he has lived here for years, long
time drawing a salary from the Democratic
state committee and twice having a four
years job under the pension agent from
which he retired but few months ago.

THIEF'S BRIGHT SCHEME.

Being an Electric Inspector.

The residence of Louis Hollweg, 95S Me-
ridian street, was robbed yesterday by a
pretended electric light inspector. He called

rying a coil of wire and a pair of plyers
He represented that he had orders to inspect
the wiring of the house and was admitted
without suspicion by Miss Holweg. The
fellow pretended to be examining the wires
and lights, and was permitted to go all
through the house. Two hours after he left

her jewelry and discovered that a number

The King May Be Shelved--The other
Contests.


Allen w. Clark, king of all the push" it
seems, is not to have a walkover in his
aspirations for nomination as clerk of
the Supreme Court. Morss and Tag
CART have been letting him believe
that they would throw the Marion county
delegation to his support, but at the same
time it is said both know that Henry War
rum has strong following, and is almost
as much beloved by the push as Clark.
No one made more eloquently incendiary
TRADES against monopolies and the gold
bugs in 1896 than Warrum. The liking of
the push will have an opportunity to show
how close he is to- his kingdom in the con-
test that is to arise. There is one advan-
tage in his favor. The nomination for this
office is not made until after that of auditor
of state, and if Joe" Tanning, an Indian
apolis man, is successful there will be less
show for Warrum, another indianapolis
man, unless caucus pledges enough are Sc
cured to carry all the Marion county cam
didates through before the convention be-
gins.
Until the last dayor two the Marion coun-
ty bosses were agreed that Joe Tanning
would be nominated fer auditor of state on
the first ballot. They are not so confident
now. There were grave doubts expressed
last night as to whether the Marion county
delegation would be solid for him. John W.
Minor. of this city. has developed a good
deal of strength, and then it was said that
Jerome Herff, of Peru. would come with a
strong following from the north part of In
diana.
Hugh Daugherty, of Bluffton, on the Tag
gart-Morss slate, will have vigorous and
prolonged bout with Henry Stockfeth, of
Evansville, over the place of treasurer of
state. Stockf1eth and a big crowd of his
Indians turned up at the Grand Hotel
at o'clock yesterday morning with a war
whoop that startled the sleeping guests of
Mayor TaggartS hosiery from their dreams
of the bombardment of Santiago de Cuba,
and some of them tumbled out on the floor,
thinking they were about to fall into the
kept busy explaining that 1t was only a
lot of politicians bornbarding the door of the
basement rooms, where liquid refreshments
are served out "Hy'' Stockfieth hung out a
big placard, and his Indians began Wig
orous hunt for Daugherty's scalp in true
frontier fashion.
John G. McNutt of Terre Haute, appeared
to be the faVorite bets over the attorney
generalship nomination, although it was adj
mitted that there was not much use making
definite predictions until the delegates
should begin to arrive. Excursion rates to
the Democratic circus will prevail on the
railroads to-day, and those members of the
party who can leave off watching ripening
wheat fields and maturing blackberries long
enough will come over TO see Ringmaster
Taggart'S happy family perform.

At this there was a wild howl from john
sons friends who resented the fact that
they were not given a place in the division.
People over at West street, half mile
away heard the bowls and yells that went
up Condor got TO the stage. Flynn de-
clared he had the majority OF the votes and
was the chairman. Then there were five
fights in about three minutes. Neal and
Johnsons friends held trump conventions
in the hall. The uproar was deafening Dur

out Of the hall at the announcement that
thirty-two kegs of beer were on tap at
Flynn's saloon. where William Carson set

popular ditty of the day,
Save in Flynns baliwck. there were few
rows heard of. The real contest to get con-
troll of the Marion county delegation to the
state convention was made several weeks
ago. when Taggart captured the preclnct
organizations and dictated to Chairman Bell
who should be made ward chairmen to pre-
side over last nights meetings. Needless to
add. the Marion county delegation Will be
for whom Taggart is for and Will be against
his enemies.
After the primaries the delegates, duly
impressed with the important duty which
had been intrusted to them, went down to
the Grand Hotel to ''ioly" the candidates
who were there out of few drinks. They
were not very successful. The name of the
candidates is not legion. and the few there
are do not propose to be bled by the men
Taggart will drive around in the convention.

Captain Dickson Has Plenty of AppIi-
cations.

Capt. B. F. Dickson, the recruiting officer
for the Second Engineer Regiment of Vol
unteers, opened his Office for business in
the Capitol yesterday. 1t is his purpose to
enlist ninety men for the Indiana company
which he has been appointed to command,
and if business holds as good in the future
as it was yesterday he will not need to
prolong his stay in this city many days.
Twenty-Five applications came to him yes
terday from ALI parts of the State and The
indications are that his company VIII be
filed in short order. Captain dickson espe-
cially desires for this service craftsmen end
mechanics, such as IN achinlSts, carpenters,
blacksmiths, masOns, steam engineers and
common laborers.
The specific duty of this corps will be
to re-esta blish damaged communications,
and 1t is desired to have men present who
can repair bridges, railroads or even loco
motives steamboats, for the of the
advancing army when the emergency arises.
Civil engineers are not especially wanted,
as all of the officers are of this vocation,
and one engineer can command a regiment
of workers easily. Both privates and nom
commissioned officers will be graded to first
and second grades and the pay for the corps
will run from $3.50 a month for q second
class private to $40 for a f1rst-class ser
geant.

The Kingan Strike.

The strike of the butchers and meat hand
lers of the Kingan plant is receiving the
attention of Labor Commissioners McCor-
mick and Schmidt, who returned to this
city yesterday and at once took up the af-
fair. The strikers were the first ones to
relate their grievances, and after hearing
their story at noon the commissioners lis
tened to the companys side of the affair al
o'clock, and to-day will try and arrange
some common ground on which the two par
ties can arrive at an amicable settlement
of the matter The commissioners state that
since June / they have put 1900 strikers
at work at increased wages.

had some trouble yesterday with two or
three of the men and discharged them. This
precipitated the strike, in which all of the
