THE COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE. TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER OFFICIALS CONFER. UNDERGROUND FIRE ALARMWIRES DISCUSSED. Council Committee's Objection To November Pay- Not Brought Up At Meeting. The Joint Committee on Fire Department of the General Council met in conference with the Board of Public Safety and Mayor Weaver yesterday afternoon to discuss the proposition made by the Ohio Valley Telephone Company to place all of the fire alarm telegraph wires under ground.

The members of the joint committee are Aldermen Rubel and Hart and Councilmen Edinger, Ramsay and Ahrens. The telephone company offered to allow the the use of its conduits for the telegraph wires, and the total expense of making the change was estimated at about $9,000. The matter was thoroughly discussed, but no deeiston was reached. It is understood, however, that the proposition is generally favored, and that it will be ac. cepted later.

Another meeting may be held to consider the proposition further before final action is taken. It was expected that the November pay-roll of the Fire Department would be discussed, but this matter was not mentioned during the meeting. The committee is said to be dissatisfied with the pay-roll. It is alleged that the firemen are given full pay for November, and the Councilmen claim many of them were off duty on election day. They hold that they should not be paid for any time lost in electioneering for candidates for offices.

Another objection raised by the committee is that Peter Charlton and Ben Bache, who render no service to the city, are being paid salaries. Bache was Assistant Chief for a number of years, and devoted the best part of his life to the department. For several months he has been carried on the pay-roll, although he has been unable to do anything. Charlton is blind, having lost his sight while fighting a fire in the service of the eity. The pay-roll has been held up, but it will doubtless be allowed when the committee is thoroughly acquainted with the circumstances.

WHISKY MEN ARRIVE. Meeting To-day of Executive Committee of Kentucky Distillers' Association. Prominent whisky men from various parts of the country at the Gait House last night." The first to arrive was Edson Bradley, of New York, Vice President of the Distilling Company of America. Mr. Bradley had been in Frankfort and came to Louisville to look after his interests here and visit the trade.

D. K. Weiskopf, of Cincinnati, followed Mr. Bradley, and John B. Thompson, President of the Kentucky Distillers' Association; Leo Westheimer, of Cincinnati, owner of the Old Times distillery, and R.

Monarch, a prominent distiller of Owensboro, were among the others who registered. Mr. Thompson is here to attend the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Kentucky Distillers" Association to-day and the other gentlemen are on business trips. Mr. Weiskopf, while discussing the trade, said that the trust had reason to feel proud over the business at present, as it had peen very large and the sales were increasing rapidly.

He said that taxpaying on '92s was much better than expected. and he looked for very little of the crop of that year to be exported, despite the fact that nearly 000 barrels were in bond. He was of the opinion that next summer and fall would bring about a great change in the market, and he thought that after '93s were got out of the way the market would be better and prices higher than for years.

advance guard of Brig. Gen. Grant's command, under Maj. Spence, arrived at Olangapo, Subig bay, during the night of Saturday, Decembe: 9, which place was occupied with little resistance, the enemy fleeing. Maj.

Spence had an arduous march over the mountain trails from Dinalupijan. Yesterday morning the cruiser Baltimore and battleship Oregon and a chartered transport arrived at Olangapo from Manila. The navy was disappoint. ed to find the army in possession of the place, which they had hoped to capture. A detachment of marines.

under Capt. Myers, occupied the navyyard at Olangapo, and will hold and occupy it as a naval station. The yard consists of seven new large buildings and some repairing and machinery shops, all. damaged by the bombardment of September 23. During the morning of December the navy transported Maj.

Spence's command from Olangapo to the of Subig. five miles distant. The enemy was seen deserting Subig as the troops landed, and the latter occupied It without resistance. They found the place abandoned by the retreating army, who fired a few shots. The Americans deployed to the right and left of the town and killed one of the enemy.

Gen. Grant and the remainder of his command arrived at Olangapo yesterday afternoon. He will proceed to-day to Subig and join Maj. Spence. Gen.

Grant will move north along the coast and will effect a junction with the Twenty-fifth infantry, under Col. Andrew S. Burt, who was reported eight miles from Iba December 7. The enemy encountered in Gen. Grant's advance fled to the mountains and scattered.

Gen. Grant is not garrisoning the towns he occupies. No casualties are report- Dispatches, dated Concepcion, December 2, from a correspondent of the Associated Press, with the detachment pursuing Aguinaldo, have just reached Manila by a messenger. The military wires on all lines to the northward are continually cut by the natives or are crowded with Government business when working. According to these advices Brig.

Gen. Young was at Condon November .29, having three troops of the Third cavalry, Cunningham's scouts and Maj. March's battalion of the Thirof command had been reduced onethird infantry. The nominal. strength third by sickness.

The horses were worn out and handicapped by lack of shoes. The infantry, after a march of 100 miles from San Jacinto, were shoeless and all were living on the country. The troops had no ammunition except what they carried in their belts. Gen. Young, having then been with.

out communication with Maj. Gen. Law. ton for ten days and not knowing the disposition of the other troops, or whether support was being sent forward, resolved to keep moving. Having received information that the insurgent Gen.

Tino, with a thousand men, was somewhere to the north, and that Aguinaldo, with Gen. Pilar, five women and 400 soldiers of his faithful Bulacan battalion, was in the mountains to the east, Gen. Young decided on November 30 to divide his force. He proceeded himself toward Vigan, hoping to attack Gen. Tino with his handful of men and to prevent him joining Aguinaldo, Maj.

March, with his battalion. and Cunningham's scouts, started over the mountains toward Cervantes, after Aguinaldo, who was reported to have been there on November 29. This column marched for thirteen hours without food. Insurgents Impressed Natives. The Associated Press correspondent goes on to say: "The Americans found that the insurgents had impressed the Igorrotes, compelling them to dig trenches and to construct pitfalls along the trails which were fearful traveling at the best.

One stream had to be forded twelve times in the course of a mile. These inoffens ve, stupid creatures, usually pictured as blood-thisty savages, cheerfully turned to undo their own work, and actually went foraging for the Americans. "The flocos region is the richest the Americans have entered in the northern campaign. The Hocos are prosperous, Intelligent and more than half civilized. They have excellent houses and carry on flourishing industries.

Many of them are evidently rich. Several towns received the troops with bands and the ringing of church bells. Cattle were killed and houses were opened to the troops. "How much of this display was sincere, and how much due to a desire to the conquerors, it would be propitiate hard to say. There were evidences that similar hospitality had been to Aguinaldo.

The people desribed hira AS ci.cerful, hugging the hope of salvatin through American politics and everywhere trying to retain support by prociaiming with seeming sincerit: that the United States Congress would vertainly recognize the independence of the Filipino republic in December. "Many of the natives exhibited notes from Lieut. Gilmore and other American prisoners, in which the recipients were commended to the Americans on the score of kindness shown to the writers. There are Americans with Lieut. Gilmore, Another party of fourteen were taken through flocos a week ahead of Gen.

Young. They were ragged and dirty and the natives say some of them were urged forward at the point of the bayonet." REPORTED BY WATSON. Olangapo Navy Yard In Fair Condition.

Demand Bills Expected To Rule Higher Throughout the Week.

New York, Dec. was great demand for money to-day, 15 per cent. ruling for some early transactions. A large bank which has made heavy loans marked up those outstanding to 10 per cent. and scrutinized closely the collateral offered for new transactions at higher rates.

One Wall-street bank required from 20 to 25 per cent. margin, besides 10 to 15 points to spare on the stock for $100.000 loans. Fifteen or 20 per cent. of good industrials were accepted on this basis where the borrower's name was satisfactory. In all from $35,000,000 to 000.000 was called and paid off, then two or three millions loaned at 6 and 7: large supplies then loaned down to 3 per cent.

Sterling exchange advanced per cent. for demand bills. While bankers were puzzled over the money situation here and abroad the perdition was made that demand bills would rule higher throughout the week with no prospect, however, of touching the exporting point. One of the largest foreign houses reported ay's rate as fully 2 cents below the figure at which gold under present conditions could be profitably sent abroad. SOLD TO A SYNDICATE.

Louisville and Nashville Railroad Disposes of Florida Lands. Pensacola, Dec. Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company has sold all its lands in Western Florida, aggregating 600,000 acres to a Michigan syndicate at $1 an acre.

The smaller detached tracts will be sold to home-seekers, The syndicate will establish an office here in January.

Fruit Jar Trust, To Be Formed. Munce, Dec. soon as certain patent suits now pending upon fruit-jar-glass-blowing machines, are disposed of, a trust of fruit-jar manufacturers will be formed, so it is said upon reliable authority, and the Ball plant of this city will be the principal member of that trust. Ball Bros. already are practically in control, not only of the American fruit-jar market, but of some foreign markets as well.

A combination with two other big firms will make their power greater than that of any other glass trust. Land and Timber Deal. Chattanooga, Dec. is given out here to-day on reliable authority that J. B.

KILL THE GERMS Which Cause the Disease Itself, and All These Will Disappear.

THIS IS EASILY DONE. The New Treatment Never Fails to Cure, No Matter How Severe the Case May Be. Now that it has been proven beyond all doubt that food is not digested in the stomach, only prepared by this organ for digestion in the intestines; and that dyspepsia is only caused by a disease germ, the use of digestive ferments to assist digestion may be dispensed with. The same can be said of remedies given to cure Flatulency, Nervousness, Sour Stomach, Distress after Eating. Billousness, these are but the after effect or symptomes of the disease, not the disease itself, consequently such remedies can only afford relief.

To cure Dyspepsia you must kill the germs which cause it. To relieve the symptoms, it requires two different remedies, which if given together counteract the effect of each other. HYOMEI DYSPEPSIA CURE never fails to cure because it contains the only germicide known of sufficient power to destroy the bacilli of dyspepsia without injury to the patient. ft never fails to relieve the symptoms, be-. he cause unlike any other treatment, each remedy is given separately.

It has proven a positive cure every case tried and this is why it is the only one ever guaranteed. Sold by all druggists or sent by mail, Price 50 cents. One day's treatment sent free on receipt of 2c stamp for postage. THE R. T.
