READY FOR THE MEETING
ALL THE COMMITTEEMAN EXCEPT
THOMAS J. MCCOY IN THE CITY.
1t Il Expected that All the Guberna-
witness the Reorganization.

All the members of the Republican State
committee arrived at the Denison yester-
day and last night. except Thomas j.
Mccoy, of Rensselaer,, who is expected
here this morning. In addition TO the dis
trict chairman there were Charles r.
Lane, of Fort Wayne. a member Of the
executive committee, and Charles w. Nc
CURE, of New Albany, OF the advisory
committee. All were inclined to say little
as to what might be expected to-day, but
there was no concealment of the fact that
the election of Warren Bigler. of Wabash,
as secretary, and Nat. u. Hill as vice
chairman will be as unanimous the
selection of Charles s. Hernly as chair
man.
1t is expected that all the candidates for
the gubernatorial nominations will be on
hand to-day, while the candidates for the
neutrality-suspicious. Kitchener, of VAL
paraiso, and o. NJ. Tishenor. of Princeton
were among the arrivals yesterday. 1t is
generally admitted that each one has a
strong following that in ordinary cases
would insure hard fight for the place,
but, as the selection of Mr.. Bigler is al
ready decided on, their visit here is not
taken so seriously as IL would otnerWlse
have been.
Senator Osborn. Of Marion, arrived at
the Denison last night with the avowed
purpose OF seeing how the Republican
committee got to work" but in reality to
look after the interests of ex-Sheriff Asel
Alexander, of Grant county. who is u can
didate for the secretaryship In case Mr..
Bigier is not elected.
The latter. when seen yesterday. said he
had had the situation explained to him IN
a new Fight end that IL he were elected 10
he place he would serve.
Elmer Crockett, the committeeman from
the Thirteenth district, is making strong
effort to have the State convention held at
South Bend and is particularly active
among the committeeman. 1t Is not be-
| lieved, however, that the convention will
be held away from Indianapolis.
There is strong sentiment among the
party leaders that the State convention
should be held early as possible and
| than was at first expected.

AFFAIRS OF THE CITY
WATER AND GAS COMPANIES HAVE
BUSINESS WITH THE BOARD.
They Fear the Encroachments of
EIectroIysis-D. NJ. Parry's Petit
tfon-WOrks Board Routine.

The representatives Of the water and the
gas companies of the city laid before the
Board of Works yesterday a warning of
trouble IL the interurban electric lines
which propose to enter the city were not
regulated in regard to escaping electrical
currents. Vice President Davis, of the
water company, urges the members of the
board to give the question of electrolysis
due consideration. Mr.. Davis in his COM
munication TO the board says the contracts
should require the interurban companies to
take care of escaping electricity. Mr.. Davis
said all the underground interests In the
city are now seriously damaged and no
opportunity should be afforded to do
further damage. The members of the board
feel that they will have no jurisdiction
over the interurban lines as they will enter
this city over the tracks of the Indianapo-
lis Street-railway Company.
The board yesterday received remon-
STRANGE with about 1872 signatures from
residents living in the lneighborhood of the
City Hospital against the location of the
proposed pesthouse ON the hospital grounds.
Chairman Tanning told several of the
signers of the rernonstrance that nothing
will be done hastily in this matter. DR..
Clark, city sanitarian. again urged that
something be done in this matter at once
as there may be an epidemic of smallpox
| In this city at any time and no place to
| take the patients.
1t has been definitely decided, after many
meetings of the Board of Works, that
Charles F. Stuckmeyer will do the sweep
| ing of the Indianapolis streets this year.
| the contract having been let at 1SA cents
per 10000 square feet. 1t is estimated that
| the sweeping can be done within the appro-
priation at this rate. Mr.. Stuckmeyer's
bond was placed at $4,000 which was
| furnished by the New York surety Com
pany. Plans will be prepared for the i'm
proving of New York street from Noble
street to the c., c., G. & st. l.. tracks. The
board ordered papers prepared for grading
and crawling Shelby street south of Pleas
| ant run. The engineer reported that the
street could not be improved with asphalt
| because the lots were only worth from $275
| to $3.50, while the Improvement would cost
| at least $500 lot. The law states that any
public improvement cannot be made where
/ the cost exceeds % per cent of the value
| of the affected property.
The board ordered Engineer Jeup to
establish the grade Of West New York
street so that the water mains could be
| laid in that locality.
| d. M. Parry petitioned the board to be
| allowed to string electric wires through al
| leys and streets in the territory bounded
by the canal, Fall creek. College avenue
| and North street. His company will COM
| pete with the indianapolis Light and
| Power Company to furnish electricity for
| private use through the North Side.

CENTRAL LABOR AFFAIRS.
Report on the Strike Of Coopers-
Nonunion Horseshoers.

Interest of members of local trades
unions in the work of the Central Labor
Union seems to be on the increase and
the hall last night did not have enough
seats to accommodate the delegates.
The most important matter before the
meeting was the strike of the coopers.
The grievance committee reported that it
had, with representative from the Coop
ers' Union. twice visited Kingan & Co.,
in an endeaver to persuade them to cease
using the product of the shops of Brandt
and Minter in which the striking coopers
formerly worked. The conference was of
no avail. Kingan & Co. advising the COM
mittee that they did not care to be mixed
up in the matter and that they were at
present patronizing the home market as
much as possible and were paying for the
packages from two shops here about 80
per cent. more than the same packages
could be purchased for elsewhere
The coopers' local union has declared
the attitude Of the packing company as
unfair and the Central Labor Union in
dorsed the action of the coopers.
Delegate Stevens of the CoOperS' Union,
reported that on account of lack of money
four members of the union had deserted
their cause and returned 10 work in non
union shops.
A conference of the grievance committee
with Albert Lieber, of the Indianapolis
Brewing Company, relative to nonunion
men being employed in the rebuilding of
casks used in the breweries resulted in
a promise to hereafter employ only union
men.
The same committee waited upon Saks
& Co. In reference to nonunion hat, man
ufactured by f. Berg K Co, Orange. N
j. lhe lclothiers advised that no more
hats would be purchased from the concern
until the works were unionized and the
same action would be taken by all the
stores of the firm.
The electrical workers reported a sat
isfactory agreement had been reached
with the Sanborn Electric Company
against which a boycott was issued some
time ago, and the shop will be a union
shop within two months. The boycott was
raised.
Dennis Egan, one of the master horse
shoers, reported that a butcher named
Gardner was renting to Edwards & En-
mons, horseshoers, who were employing
efficient men who did not belong to the
union and by their work were very ma
terially damaging the interests of the
master horseshoers of the city. Mr.. Egar
said If the labor organizations would take
the matter up and adjust matters the
journeymen shoers could have anything
they asked for in the way of concessions
from the employers. The matter was re.
ferred to committees for immediate in
vestigation and to again bring the subject
up in the proper way.

'.Midnisht i'm chinatownv mt Park.

Midnight in Chinatown" a melodrama
under the direction of w. o. Edmunds.
had its first presentation to patrons Of
the Park yesterday afternoon, and the
theater was crowded. The play quite lives
UP to its subtitle. "a Sensational Drama"
Except for about twenty minutes at the
beginning of the last act, which are given
over to specialties, the rest of the perform
ance is of the hair-raising type. The story
Of the play is one thoroughly familiar to
all lovers of melodrama, but its action
takes place in surroundings that are pic
turesque and comparatively new to the
stage. Several OF the scenes are very beau
tiful. particularly the one showing Noun
tain Top House, the street view in San
Francisco on carnival night and the in
terror of the opium den. Miss Edna Clay
ton as Blanche GrahaTe succeeds in WIN
ming a great deal of applause by her act
ing. Miss Louise Reming as Mary Muir
ray has leading role and handles 1t
to the satisfaction of her audiences. Edna
Reming as Sue Murray is one of the
smallest, lightest weight soubrettes seen
at the Park in a long period, but she keeps
herself in evidence good part of the time
and does some very pleasing work, both in
the play and in the olio of vaudeville
turns as well. George w. Hamler as Alex
ander Alexis Smith proves himself very
much of comedian, and as a speciality
artist did good work. Horace Vinton makes
a massive vlAain ana does his work 50
well that he receives a full measure Of
Kisses. Mr.. Vinton deserves congratula-
ton for his admirable GOODNESS in the face
of the storm of disapprobation that greets
his appearance before the curtain. Marie
Leasing appears to good advantage in a
singing and dancing speciality.
Midnight In Chinatown" will continue,
with daily matinees until Thursday aft
ernoon, when 1t will be succeeded by Hen
shaw and Ten Brock In one of their
comedy successes which has been rewritten
and frightened up for the present season
