Bishop elect will remain until FatherWailers arrives and take oberge Father Bade macher will be consecrated Bishop of Nashville on Sunday June Supervising Architect Hills Latter The Maws has heretofore indicated that there were many reasons why an increase of the appropriation for the government building at Fort Wayne might be ea pooled from the next Con grass and has pointed out the fact tbat gentlemen in public life who are con cerned and Consulted about suoh matters have admitted the manifest injustice of giving to Terra Haute and other places of loss population and smaller needs an appropriation greatly in ex coss of that given to erect a building at Fort Wayne to contain besides the offices lo be found in such edlfioos suitable larire rooms for tbe use of the United Slates Courts Tbeso views were expressed with much force by Hon John Now pf Indianapolis Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury on the occasion of his visit lo this city to select a site for tbe building He then expressed a regret that the plans would be drawn for a building to cost no more than 100000 less tbe cost of tho site 2fi000 and said tbat after tbo foundation had been laid and the walls were partially op it would be found too late to profit by additional appropriations to bo expected from the next Congress except in tbe way of internal ornamentation The News is happyfo say to its readers that the seeminir delay In begin ning the work Is much to tbe citys advantage and tiiat Supervising Architect Hill will bo active In doing nothing In the way of actual building until tbe meeting of ibe next Congress in December when it Is fully expected tbat an additional appropriation of 950000 will be voted Tlio following late letter received from him by ax Congressman Coleriok will be read with deep interest It is in reply to a communication from Mr urging the justness and necessity of a further outlay for the building Hon Oolerlok Houee of Representatives Washington Sut I have tho honor to acknowledge the receipt of yonr letter of the Instant relative to tbo limit of cost fixed for the proposed public building at rori rvayne mu It is aoOarenLfrom the bid receded tbat the site will cost about 2600000 leaving 97500000 for the construction of tbe building There can be no question that the demands for accommodation in the Gov erment building at Fort Wayne will be greater than at Terre Haute by reason of greater population and tbe fact that unitoa mates uourumeet in tbe former place I oonour with you as to tbe propriety of oxumdlng the limit of cost of site and building to 16000000 Very rsxpectf ully ikt Hill Supervising Arcblteot A Nitwe reporter callod on Mr Col erltk to day and was told tbat he bad no doubt but that the next Congress would raise tbe amount to be expended here from flOOOOO to 1125000 or 160 000 He explained that Mr Hill bad frequently expressed his willingness to assist in securing the additional sum and that material aid bad beon promised in other quarters Especially was assistance to bo expected from Hon Blackburn of Kentucky who was a member of tbe Committee on House Appropriations of tbe last Congress and who will be Its Chairman at tbo next Congress unless he is elected Speaker which is by no means Improbable In either position his Influence in such matters would be of paramount importance and that It will tie actively usod to secure an additional appropria tion he has frequently said lit Hill the Supervising Architect had stated to Mr Coleriok that there would he np difficulty In changing the plans the event of the expected lotion ofCongresSjlf the work on the building had not proceeded farther than the foundation and illustrated hU remarks by producing two separate plans for a government building at Vlokiburg one designed to cost the sum originally appropriated and Jhe other the same design altered and greatly elaborated to absorb a large sum afterward voted tTr Fort Wayne has present need of a government building but It can afford to wait until next year tor much bet Ur one Congress will yote a large ad ditional appropriation and Congress man Lowry will rbly champion the measure AN EXPLOSION The Motor Station at tha Baa Wora Blasts tip tals Msralng Sar laasly lajuriag Feraaiaa Jahsi Wart mmi aa Aeeletaat Al four oclock this morning the neighborhood of the works of the Fort Wayne Gaslight oompany was shaken by a tremendous explosion accompanied by an accident of a serious nature Fire followed the explosion and the department and a great crowd rapidly collected at the works It appears tbat al half past three oclock watchmen detected an apparent leakage of gas and aroused the general foreman Mr John Wort who came to make investigation The air seemed to bo more irreatly charged with gas near a small brick building known as the meter station containing a large and intricate apparatus to measure tbe gas from tbe gasometers before i enters the great main Mr Wort entered tbe building and Incautiously struok a match 1 be air was more fully charged with gas than he had supposed and a terrifio explosion followed The building was thrown down and Mr Wort was terribly burned about tbo face bead and shoulders beside being injured Internally An employe of tbe works named William Lubrman st od at tbe open door of the meter station and received tbe full force of tho concussion He was able to walk to his home at 57 Superior street and suffered much today from injuries scarcely loss painful than those of Mr Wort This Is tbe first accident that has ocourred at the works in an existenoe of twenty six years Judge Niblack of the State Supreme Court haa just rendered an important decision giving strict construction of tbe thirteenth article of the constitution known as the two per cent limitation of tbe Indebtedness of municipal corpora lions The case decided went up on ap peal from tbe Floyd Circuit Court Tbe decision was to tbo effect that the Intent of the constitution provision is to arbitrarily restrict the power of municipal corporations to contract debts above the limit of two per centum of their taxable property and that when thst limit la reacbed each corporation must pay cash for whatever they purchaso with out regard to the fact whether tbe ex pendilnre is of an ordinary or extraor dinary character Mr Dukes of Peru who at tbe head of the movement to build a rail road along the line of tbo old Wabash Erie canal said to a reporter of tbe Wabash Cotiner a few days ago Wo hope and expect to seo a railroad on the tow path of the Wabasb A Erie from Fort Wayne to Lafayette There ts no question but that such a freight and passenger line would pay No other line would go so far towards the equal ization of freights No other line In the country would tap a larger number of roads Besides this the cities through which it passes are large strong and growing and the soil tbe most fertile In tbe world In fact we know tbat tha road must be built but when or by whom it is not possible at this time to toll But the cities of Indiana that were originally connected by the Canal must ultimately be connected by a direct freight and passenger libo No road in the commonwealth would have a larger local traffic wbile through freights will always follow tbe course of tbe river Yesterday afternoon Jack Belly of Sonth Harrison street was cleaning a window at the Pittsburg shops He fell from his perch heavily to the ground and his side was badly Injured Quincy Whigt The manager of the Qulncys has secured another battery A dispatch from the pitcher received yesterday stated tbat he would join tbe Qulncys at Fort Wayne unless order to the contrary wquld be sent and Man agar Oterrocker Instructed him to come THIS IS BUSINESS Unele

electrio lamps bung on posts about ibe limits of the enclosure or suspended from positions on ths grand stand On account of tbe iewness of tbe lamps and tbe fact that the new electrical circuit could not be worked to its fullest capacity tbe result was not satisfactory tbe light being quite insufficient for ball playing pur poses Mr Charles Jenney who was oa the ground is fully convinced however of the entire practicability of the scheme and the company propose to double or en treble the number of lamps and promise quits enough light Near tbo grand stand where the Illumination wu greatest youpg men amused tbem selves by tossing balls about and found there was light enough but in tbe outer field tbe gloom was deep A plan thai is under consideration is to suspend a nuxber of lamps protected In wire meshes above tbe oenler of the field banging them on wires stretched from poles of great altitude at the sides of tbe enclosure When the weather permits these improvements will be made and there will be a practical test of ball playing at night The illumination ef the grounds constantly suggests oiber uses to which they may be profitably put and for which dark grounds are not nearly so available One of the best of these suggestions is tbat in the winter tinfo a levee might be raised about tbe limits of tbe ground and it could be easily Converted into a skating park
