ELECTION AT NORWOOD
ANTI-INCORPORATIO PARTY WINS
BY SEVEN VOTES.
As a Result Republicans May Have to
Nominate Another List of Justice
of Peace Candidates.

The election held at Norwood, a south
eastern suburb, yesterday to determine
whether or not the town should be incor-
porated, resulted in the defeat of those who
favored incorporation They were defeated
by seven votes. The election board con-
ton and Charles Pipes.
1t was announced last night that about
fifty votes were cast. Edwin D. Logsdon,
member of the Board of Public Works and
chairman of the Republican city commit
tee, was at the polls part Of the day and
took active interest in the voting, being
in favor Of Incorporation. Lee Ayres,
brother of A. c. Ayres. was one of the
leaders in the opposing party. The resi-
dents of the town seemed to be less inter-
ested in the contest than those outside.
1t has been held by some that it was
necessary to incorporate the town of Nor
wood to make the election of five justices
of the peace legal. 1t is held that under
the law Center township would only be en-
titled to four justices of the peace unless
Norwood became incorporated town.
The Republicans have nominated five cam
didateS. Recently r. O. Hawkins gave an
opinion in which he held that in the event the
number of candidates had to be reduced the
man who received the lowest vote at the
ticket The attorney held that it would
be necessary TO hold the primaries again in
order to determine what four candidates
should be on the ticket.

of the boys remained in the place. He told
his clerk to put the cash in a tobacco box

go down town and eat luncheon. About

MONUMENTS At SHILOH.
Indiana's Dedication Probably VIII
Not he Held Next Month.

The monuments to the memory of the
Indiana regiments and batteries that par
ticipated in the battle of Shiloh, which are
being erected at Shiloh Battlefield Park,
probably will not be dedicated next month.
The monuments will not be completed by
that time. The committee having the dedi-
cation in charge has interested the railroads
of the South and many thousands of cir
culars have been sent out.
The rock monuments have all been
shipped to the battlefield. They are now
in the hands of carvers, who are shaping
them into the design adopted by the COM
mission. Each monument made a carload
and there are twenty-one of them. The
letter sent out by the railroads calls espe-
cial attention TO the scenery along the
route to the park. The letter says:
THE commission has selected an official
route over which the Indiana excursion TO
this dedication will pass. The special eX-
cursion train will be the finest that can be
secured. 1t will go over the Pennsylvania
lines from Indianapolis to Louisville, KY,
then over the Louisville & Nashville Rail-
road to Danville, Tenn, on the Tennessee
river, then on a fleet of boats of the St.
Louis and Tennessee Packet Company, with

AGAIN IT'S CIRCUS DAY
FOREPAUGH-SELLS BROS BIG SHOW
COMES TO TOWN.
Daredevil DiavolO, the Only Loop-the-
Looper, the Main Feature-UsunI
Parade This Morning.

Daredevil Diavolo is in the city to-day.
Thousands have counted the days of wait
ing for his appearance. Diavolo is the big
feature of the Forepaugh-Sells Bros show.
Diavolo is the man who loops the loop His
real name may be Dennis McCarty, but he
is known as Diavolo He is the only Diavolo.
The man at the Aquarium in London, who
is said to be doing the loop act under the
name of Diavolo is, according to Bert
Davis, press agent for the American show,
a Misrepresentation.
"Diavolo." said Mr.. Davis. els with cur
show. He is the only man in the country
who is doing the loop act. He has not had
an accident and has not missed a perform
ance. l say this because there are many
reports that he has been injured and can
not perform: that he is not Diavolo. out
substitute and that there are plenty of
men who will do the act Anyone who is
familiar with bicycle acts knows Charlie
Fitzpatrick, the one-legged rider, who dares
almost everything. But he was daunted by
the loop-the-loOp act and he is looking for
some man who will do it.
Several OF the gamest riders have tackled
the act for the company that controls the
patents on the loops, but have either
failed or met with injury. Diavolo is under
contract TO perform with the circus just
advertised and should he fail by reason
of sickness or accident We are protected
by a forfeit of Sl.0O0 a day"
Just TO show how much we want another
loop rider, any man In Indianapolis or else
where, who thinks he do that act and
who shows that he can do il, can get a
job with the circus worth two or three
hundred a week just TO be on hands in case
OF emergency.
The big show came in from Richmond this
morning in three trains. AT Richmond q, 900
people witnessed the two performances yes
terday. At 10 oclOck this morning the usual
parade will leave the show grounds on
West Washington street and Will go over
the downtown streets, principally Wash
fnSton and Pennsylvania streets. There will
be afternoon and evening performances.

TALKS WITH TRAVELLERS
MIR. MIERS, OF SECOND DISTRICT,
HAS TRIPLE EMBARRASSMENT.
Free silver Democrats. PopuIists and
"ReOrganizers" Look on Him Doubt
fuIIy-Says He Likes Bryan.

G. ". Welman. editor of the Sullivan
Times, and John 5. Bays OF Sullivan, were
at the Hotel English yesterday. Both are
Democrats, and take an active part in the
politics of the Second district. Lately there
have been rumors from the district to the
effect that Welman and Miers had patched
up their differences, and that, so far as
they were concerned. white-winged peace
reigned in the district. When asked about
it yesterday Welman laughed. and re-
marked that things are better than they
were in the district
While Welman's paper is now supporting
Miers for Congress, ii is hinted that the
editor of the paper has not a great deal of
faith in the protestations of Mlers that
he is still a Democrat" However, the
editor of the Times has the consoling
thought that if he is Populist, Miers also
belongs to that species. In a letter which
Mr.. Miers sent to the Times a few weeks
ago he asserted his allegiance to the Kan
sas City platform and produced divers
statements TO prove that he is a Democrat.
After the publication of this letter there
was but one thing for the editor of the
Times TO do and that was to smoke the
pipe of peace with Mr.. Miers.
Mr.. Welman has been called Popullsl
by some Of the "reorganizers'' of the dis
trict. This has not disturbed him, because
he is an ardent Bryan admirer, and he
contends that if it is necessary to be
Pop to admire Bryan he is willing to be
classed such The PopulistS are not by
any means satisfied with Mr.. Mierss expla-
nation, and they have arranged TO mold
convention at Sullivan tomorrow for the
purpose of nominating a congressional can
didate.
Mr. Mierss position in the district is
rather unique. The Populists have not
faith enough in him to make him their
candidate; the free-silver Democrats are
a bit suspicious of him, twithstanding
his protest that he stands on the Kansas
City platform, and the conservative" or
''reorganizers" are inclined to be out of
patience with him because he has shown
a desire to placate the free-silver element.
While Mr. Mers is having his troubles with
the different elements of Democracy John
G.. CLANCY, the Republican candidate for
Congress. is preparing TO make an aggres-
SiVe campaign.

A COLONY IN ALABAMA.
Bedford and Indianapolis Men Pro-
noting Land Scheme.

George w. Mcdaniel, of Bedford, who
was here last night, is enthusiastic
plan of colonization which he and a number
of associates have been working on for
some time. They are organizing what they
call the Florida-Alabama Agricultural So
ciety, and have purchased $4,000 acres of
land in southern Alabama. The tract is
situated about twenty-one miles from Pen
sacola in a locality which Mr.. Mcdaniel
describes as 1.-The garden spot of the
South" Among those associated with Mr..
Mcdaniel in the enterprise are ]. L. Boruff,
of Bedford and H. j. Jones. Everett Wag-
ner and w. b. Blair, of Indianapolis.
1t is the plan to incorporate the society
under the laws of New Jersey. The society
will first establish a town in the center
of the tract and build churches, school
houses and business buildings. Induce
ments will then be offered to people to
settle on this land. Mr.. Mcdaniel esti-
mates that they can sell the land to set
tiers at $40 an acre and give them ample
time in which to pay for the real estate.
