Special Jleetimjgof the Council to Make Appropriations Filthy Conditions on EUtly StreetTwo Suspects. N. K. Fatout Son will begin the erection of a temporary pesthouse at daylight this morning on the old pesthouse lite. The contract was made yesterday evening by the Hoard of Works, subject to th; action of the Council on the appropriation ordinances, which were passed by that body early this morning.

The building will be twenty by sixty built of rough lumber, with a kitchen twelve by twenty feet on one side of It. On account of the danger of overflow by the spring floods it will stand on posts five feet above the ground. The building will be divided into four rooms, one at each end twelve by twenty feet for the nurses and physicians and two other rooms In the middle eighteen by twenty feet, to be used as male cmd female wards. This building will accommodate about twenty patients, but more could be crowded In if necessary. Yesterday morning, at the time the city offices were opened, contractors who read the proceedings of the cabinet meeting the night before were on hand, ready to confer with the Board cf Works in regard to the erection of this building.

James E. Shover was there with plans all drawn up, but his specifications called for a building entirely too expensive for a temporary affair. During the morning the members of the Board of Health drew a rough sketch of such a building a3 they wanted, and later In the day plans and spMflca-tlons were completed by Building Inspector Penderg'ast. Six contractors appeared to bid on th proposed buildings. Their bids were as follows: G.

II. Jameson, $537; Jas. E. Shovcr. WV, T.

J. Morse, $000; David I. Scott XS37; Conrad Bender, $777, and N. K. Fatout Son, The building's cost was estimated by Mr.

Pendenrast at about $300, but It seems on account of th emergency and trouble which will be experienced In securing men to work so near the present pestilential tents, the bids were much higher than these estimates. Three of the contractors handed In their bids without knowing that the building wis to go on the old pesthouse site, but as soon as they learned that fact recalled their bids and made them higher. Mr. Fatout salJ yesterday that he would watch the proceedings of the Council, and if the appropriation wis made so that his contract coald be closed he would have ma at work at daylight this morning hauling lumber to the grounds. He expects to continue the work during Sunday, and will have the building so that It can be occupied some time Monday.

He does not anticipate h.ny great trouble in securing men to do the work, although he expects, possibly, to have to pay more than the regular wages. This, however, was provided for In his Lid. Yesterday's storm again showed the urgent necessity of immediate action in the construction of this building. Dr. Poucher rfiorttd that it was almost impossible to keep the tents on the ground, and that with the utmost care they could not keep evtrythlng Inside of them dry.

The Board of Health does not anticipate any great epidemic, but believes there will be more cases before the disease is entirely stamped out. The Board of Health yesterday morning Issued the following order: "All rtrsons who are employed, frequenting or living within the area bounded by Tennessee, Illinois, South and Meirill meets, are hereby notified that they must be accinated by noon, April 21, to the satisfaction of the Board of Public Health and Charities of the city of Indianapolis. Failure to comply with these regulations will compel persons violating the to be at once placed under quarantine." This order gives those persons In the neighborhood in which the Stahlcup case was discovered till noon to-day to be vaccinated. The vaccinating will be done by doctors from ths City Dispensary free of charge. SPECIAL COLWCIL.

MEETINGS. ionn for Quarantine Vaccination Feu ure Opposed, The Council held a special meeting last night In pursuance of a call by the Mayor, to pass ordinances to provide for the proper handling of the smallpox cases now in the city. Regular business was also taken up. The Board of Works sent a communication asking the Council to take some action in regard to the improvement of New Jersey street, from Washington street to Massachusetts avenue. An ordinance was Introduced providing for improvement of that street with asphalt, and referred to the committee on streets and alleys.

The ordinance making It a misdemeanor for any one to injure any of the property, or make any connection with the wires of the electric light companies was called up and passed. The penalty for violation is a fine not exceeding $30. The matter of the annexation of certain property lying north of Fall creek, in the neighborhood of the Crawfordsvllle pike, was before the Council again. The committee having the ordinance in charge reported it with certain amendments as to the boundaries. This precipitated quite an earnest discussion.

Several members said that the committee had promised them that the ordinance would not be called up without notice and time being given them to investigate it. The ordinance and the committee's report were then referred to the committee on finance. Chairman Hauh. of the finance committee, then introduced two ordinances, one providing for the transfer of $1,000 from the printing and advertising fund to a fund to be known as the temporary pesthouse construction fund; the other for the transfer of JJ.OOO from the City Hospital fund to the fund for the prevention of contagious diseases. They were both referred to the finance committee.

The following ordinance, drawn up by the city attorney, at the request of the Board cf Health, was then introduced and referred to the committee on ordinances. "Section 1. Be it crdalnM by ihe Coimnen Council of the city of Indianapolis. Indiana, That wherever smallpox or other infectious or pestilential diseases shall exist within the citv or within four miles of the corporate limits thereof, the commissioners of the Department of Health and Charities may. by order, establish and maintain all needful Quarantine stations and limits, including public and private houses and places; in like manner they may remove or cause to be removed, at their discretion, any person afflicted with such disease to such hospital or place as may be provided far such cases, and cause such persons to be there detained and to be there treated for such period as may be deemed necessary.

"Sec. 2. During the existence of any such disease within said city or within four miles of the corporate limits or whenever an epidemic of such disease is, in the judgment of such commissioners, threatened or there Is impending danger thereof, such commissioners may at such place or places as may te provided therefor detain or cause to be detained any and all persons found within the city limits, and having no place of residence or abode therein, who may be suspected of being affected with such disease, until such time as it may fully determined by said commissioners, whether such persons are so affected, and if they are found to be so affected, said comml? sicners may remove or cause to remove! such persons, as provided in the preceding section. "Sec. 3.

Said commissioners may also during such period of the existence of any such disease within the limits stated in Section 1. or during any period of impend ing danger thereof, by order, discontinue the use of any building or station or room used for free houslner and accommodation of tramps, vagrants or others, tit or at other times; and upon the discontinuance of the use of any such building, station or room upon such order, only such other building, station or room may be used in lieu thereof for such purpose as shall be provided by the Board of Public Works, with the arroval of such commissioners. "Sec. 4. In cise of smallpox epidemic or imminent danger thereof, said commission ers may order all persons In the city or any part thereof, or within four miles of the ccrporate limits thereof, requiring vaccination, to be vaccinated within such time as shall be prescribed by such order, and may prescribe such rules and regulations therefor, and for the enforcement of such order, and for such evidence of its hav ing been complied with, as said commissioners may deem necessary.

Provided. That it be the duty of ald commissioners to provide by proper directions and orders to the City Dispensary and physicians thereof for the Vaccination of such persona pa are unable to pay for the same without cost to such persons. "Sec. 5. Said commissioners may cause to be disinfected and fumigated all infected property and premises, and may order and caused to be burned or otherwise destroyed infected clothing or other personal effects whenever deemed necessary for the public health and safety.

"Sec. 6. In case of pestilence or epidemic disease or danger from anticipated or impending pestilence or epidemic disease, or in case the sanitary conditions of the city should be of such character as to warrant it. it shall be the duty of said commissioners to take such measures and to do and order and cause to be done such acts for the preservation of the public health, though not herein or elsewhere or otherwise authorized, as they may in good faith declare the public safety and health to demand; and said commissioners. In matters affecting the public health of said city, may co-operate with the State Board of Health whenever they deem it necessary or expedient so to do.

"Sec. 7. It shall be the duty of all persons to observe and comply with all rules, regulations and orders of the Commissioners of Public Health and Charities which shall be made pursuant to this ordinance, Any person knowingly and willfully violating any such rule, regulation or order shall be fined in any sum not exceeding fifty dollars. "Sec, 8. This ordinance shall be in force and effect from and after its passage and publication, or proclamation thereof by the Mayor and posting thereof, as provided by law." As these ordinances could not be passed on the same day they were Introduced, it became necessary to provide for another special meeting.

Mr. Murphy wanted to adjourn till 8 o'clock this morning, but owing to the necessity of beginning work on the building at daylight this morning, it was finally decided to meet again at 12:03 this morning, the following members pledging themselves to be present: Messrs. Col-nr, Draw. Hemes Kaker, Koehrlng, Krauss, Magel, O'Brien, Itauh, Ryan, Sehmld. Shaffer, Stott, Young.

Cooper. This is just one more than the necessary two-thirds of all the members, which it takes to pass any special appropriation. Promptly at 12:03 this morning the Council met in special session, two more members responding to the roll call than had pledged themselves to be present. Chairman Rauh, of the finance committee, called up the appropriation ordinances which were presented at the evening session, and they were pased by a unanimous vote. The committee on ordinances reported the ordinance printed above and recommended that Section 4 be stricken out.

After considerable debate the roll was called, which resulted as follows: Ayes (to strike out Section 4) Allen, Colter. Hennessy, Kaiser, Krauss, Magel, O'Brien, Puryear. Bauh, Ryan, tfchmid, Shaffer, Stott, Cooper 14. Nays Drew, Koehrlng, Young 3. The ordinance was then passed with Section 4 stricken out.

This is the section that the Health Board was more desirous cf having passed than any other part of the ordinance, as it would give them rower to enforce their orders for vaccination. As the law now stands it is doubtful if the board has any such power, although the State law provides for the enforcement cf such rules as may be promulgated, by the State Board of Health. The appropriation of $3,000 from the City Hospital fund will leave the hospital with a very small amount to run It during the balance of the year. Last September the Council appropriated $24,000 for the hospital, of which $9,073.30 now remains unusd. 'ibis appropriation will leave only to run.

the hospital till next October. TWO TRAMPS QUARANTINED. One Came from a Chtcnso Smnllpox Neighborhood nntl Is 111. Yesterday afternoon, about 3:30 o'clock, patrolman Leppert found two tramps, Frank Steel and John King, loafing In the barrel houses on West "Washington street. He arrested them on charges of vagrancy and summoned the patrol wagon.

While awaiting, its arrival Steel told the officer that his back pained him and that he was feverish. He added that he had been In the( city but a few days, and had come from Chicago, where he had lived in the neighborhood of several 6mallpox cases. King did not complain of feeling ill, but said that he had been loafing with Steel all day. The men were put into the ratrol wagon and hauled to the county jail. As soon as Turnkey Collins was informed that the prisoners were possibly afflicted with smallpox he refused to admit them, stating that he was acting under orders not to receive suspects.

Admission to the police station was next attempted, but the quarantined officers were heartless and refused to open the doors." The police surgeon was summoned, and after an investigation stated that If the men had the disease it had not developed sufficiently to show itself. Dr. Wagner was called, but he, too, could form no opinion. The city ambulance was then called and Steel and King were removed to a tent on the ground west of the City Hospital, near those occupied by "Major" Higgins and David Stahlcup. which had been placed there by Captain Quifjley according to the instructions of Superintendent Powell.

The City Hospital physicians administered to King and Steel fast night, and this morning they, together with Dr. Wagner and Police Surgeon Kahlo, will Inquire into the condition of the men. If they rind fully developed smallpox their tent will be placed near those occupied by Uiggins and Stahlcup, while an additional tent will be placed at some distance away for suspects. Superintendent Powell stated las night that possibly the smallpox racket was being worked by shrewd tramps for a night's lodging and food. The tramps know that they will not be placed in a position where they will be likely to contract the disease.

Then they might hope to be allowed to go at liberty or escape with a light workhouse sentence. The Superintendent says that some place for the housing of the tramp element over night Is needed, now that the "bum" room at the police station is shut off. He also hinted at a severe punishment for the tramps who feigned to be ill with smallpox in order to get lodging. Possibly to-day arrangements will be made to erect a large tent near the City Hospital, where all suspects will be held until their exact condition is known. Higgins and Stahlcup continued about the same yesterday.

Stahlcup's home, No. 40 Eddy street, is now under full quarantine. Nineteen persons of all descriptions are within the house, which is an abode of filth. The police are keeping a strict surveillance over the place In order that none of the quarantined people escape. There is no danger that outside persons will attempt to effect an entrance to the house.

Yesterday, afternoon patrolman Fickle captured and quarantined Evans, the man who was known to have lived with Stahlcup. but who escaped the vigilance of the health officers. No lllds for the Site. No' bids were received yesterday for the purchase of the pesthouse site. The Board of Works will not make any effort to sell it now until after the city is entirely free from smallpox.

Conference of Ilcnltu Ofllcern. CHICAGO, April 20. A secret meeting of representatives of the health departments of the States of Wisconsin, Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois was held today to consider the smallpox epidemic now rafiring In Chicago. The question of declaring a quarantine against the city was discussed, and the action may be taken, as new cases of the disease are said to be developing rapidly. Kentucky Rock Awphnlt.

In reference to the Kentucky rock asphalt, the city engineer yesterday said. "It cannot in any way be compared to that used in Jackson place, except that both kinds- are the natural rock melted and used without the addition any sand. The Kentucky asphalt is really a good but does not make a very hard street. It will not crack In any kind of weather, as that in Jackson place has done. There is one street of it in Columbus which has stood the wear the btst kind.

It Is so soft, however, that in summer time a horse standing on it any length of time will tear it all to pieces. This does not seem to do it any permanent injury, as it will soon assume its former shape. This street is quits flat, or I supiose it mleht all run into the gutters. Pittsburg also has one streot of it. it has been down several yoars.

and when laid the city refused to pay for it because it did not consider It equal to specifications. The contractor told the officials to wait, that time would tell, and tifter usinj? it for three years the city pal I lor the street. The only objection to the Kentucky rock asphalt Is that it is too fcofu" Bond of Contrnctors. A petition was filed for paving with brick the roadway and sidewalks of the first alley cast of Delaware street, from Morrison street to the first alley south of Sixth street. No action will be taken until the board can investigate as to the propriety of making the improvement.

The board approved the following contracts and bonds for public improvements: Bend of the Acme Paving and Contracting Company, for th construction of a main sewer la Liberty, Market and Noble etreets from Washington street to Massachusetts avenue: bond. sureties, D. De Ruiter, A. W. Conduitt and H.

H. Fletcher. Bond of the Acme Paving and Contracting Company, for the construction of a local sewer In Lockerbie and Liberty streets, from Noble to Vermont street; bond, $300; sureties, D. De Ruiter, A. W.

Conduitt and H. H. Fletcher. One More to He Revoked. Yesterday morning Mayor Denny revoked the saloon license of George Allen, of No.

117 Fort Wayne avenue. Allen, however. Is not responsible for the violations of the law, as he had sold the business to a man named Howard, who was running it at the time of revocation. The license was still in Allen's "name, and so all papers had to served on him. Superintendent Powell said yesterday in regard to others who had violated he law that he had one more case that he would report to the Mayor in a short time, probably to-day.

Street Pay Roll Increases. The Board of Works approved the following vouchers yesterday: Pay roll foreman street repairs, week ending April 19, pay roll bridge gang, pay roll sewer gang, $103.10. Iast week the street repairs pay roll was $418.77, showing an increase this week of $131.17. This work has been gradually increasing for some time. On March 1 this deparment's pay roll was only $115.

Next week will show a still greater Increase. IValmsh-Street Drlek. The Board of Works yesterday took final action on the resolutions for improving with brick the roadway of Wabash street from Alabama to New Jersey and the roadway of Meridian street from Washington to Soutn street. The city engineer was instructed by the board to prepare papers for paving with brick the east sidewalk of Alvord street from Massachusetts avenue to Home avenue. Market Stall Appraisement.

Next Tuesday afternoon the Board of Safety will inspect the markethouse and approve or reject the market master's appraisement of the rental value of the stalls. The trial of Eugene Faulkner, a fireman, charged with being drunk on duty, will be held next Monday night in the office of the Board of Safety. The three new policemen who were appointed on Thursday night were sworn in by "Tired" Herrick yesterday morning. Police Force Equally Divided. The Board of Safety last night appointed the following Democrats to the police force: R.

F. Walker, Thomas F. Dugun, James McCarthy, Theodore Grubb, William Rogers. This makes the force one hundred and twenty men, equally divided politically. The board will ask Judge Brown, to-day, to appoint appraisers to apprais the old material of the fire department, that it may be sold.

Fairview Park has been chosen as the location for the State military encampment this coming summer. It was deemed advisable to choose a site easily accessible, and Fairview furnishes all the requisites In that direction. The theory is, possibly, that if the camp were five or six miles away from a railroad the boys- would come to Indianapolis, many of them, and forget to go back. On the other hand, the proximity of a railroad will make the temptation to get into the city a strong one and hard to resist, and guard duty at the coming camp will be something more than a mere form. Stricter discipline than ever before is to be enforced, however, and men who overstay their leaves are to be dealt with summarily.

The choice of Fair-view Park means immense crowds of visitors during the week of the encampment, for the additional attraction of militiamen will prove the strongest drawing card this resort has ever had. The deal was closed with the Citizens' Street-railroad Company yesterday, and. under the contract, tho company is to do a good deal of the transportation free of charge. There will be 2,500 men In camp. Collision at a Crowded Corner.

Yesterday afternoon while Harvey Huffman, a driver for A. Burdsal, paint dealer, was attempting to evade an approaching street car at Pennsylvania street and Virginia avenue, he collided with a buggy occupied by Robert McCoy. McCoy's buggy was badly wrecked and he was thrown heavily to the ground. He was removed to his home, where his injuries were found to be a dislocated hip and several sprains.
