CHANGES ON THE M0N0N

C. II. HOCK WELL WILL HECOIE ITS TItAl'I'IC 31 A NAG Ell 0 1 V 1 1 C 1 1 1. MoVny to Ue Inrrhnanrr ABenl of the Clover Lenf The Wii1:ik!i S1io;m ut Tort Wayne 3Iay lie Iteuioved. Th business of the Louisville, New Al bany & Chicago has reached such a volume that Vice President and General Manager McDoel, who is also receiver of the road. has decided to appoint a trallic manager. and on March 1 Charles 11. Ilockwell will apsunvj the duties of that position. Mr. Rockwell was born In Ttrre Haute Jan. 11, and in 1S9 entered railroad service as a yard clerk; In 1ST0 he was made chief clerk of the paymaster of the Indianapolis & St. Louis; three years later he was ap pointed assistant auditor of the road, and In 1573 Volney T. Malott, then the chief official of the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago, appointed Mr. Kockwell auditor, which posi tion he held six years; In 1SS1 he was appolntel general passenger and ticket agent of the road; In ISSo he was appointed audi tor of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton. and In ls&O Its general passenger and ticket Jient. He then accepted tho position of private secretary to Cieorfre M. Pullman; in 1VJ1 he was appointed irencral superin tendent of the Columbuo i Hocking Valley; m lv53 he was appointed general superintendent of the Chicaco ft Eastern Illinois. and later bame assistant to the president of that road. In all the places ho has tilled he has shown himself to be a very competent man. and Mr. Malott. In speak ing of the matter yesterday, said Mr. McDoel had made an excellent selection. The Lowest Limit Almut Ileaehed. A superintendent of motive power of one of the big systems of tho Central States, In conversation yesterday, said the depression in business of the last threo years, which has been so telling on earnings of railways, had taught railway managers lessons of economy which have been a sur prise to them In results. Expenses have been cut down, and on such systems as the one with which he was connected tho sav ing In the operating department alone had reached hundreds of thousands of dollars per annum. He then exhibited statistics to be ent to the president of the road supporting his statement, and as the rolling stock on that system Is In the best condi tion in the history of the road. 'this cutting down of expenses had not tyen accomplished by neglecting that department. One important Item was in the saving of coal; and another in the fact that the locomotives were in good order and were hauling their full complement of cars: in yard work a great saving had been effected, one of the results of more economical management, and while the use of larger cars and larger locomotives had aided in operating the roads more economically. In the little details of operation saving had been effected which In the agirregate amounted to a handsome sum. The tendency to operate roads at the lowest reasonable figure had been witnessed on the men from the very fact that they knew that their work depended upon cutting down expense. to the minimum, and the lessons which have been taught will hereafter be of great benefit to tho roads. The speaker thought it no exaggeration to claim that the roads at the present time could move the same, volume of business at one-third less cost than was done In 1S32. With each year there had been a curtailment ' of expenses in all departments, but he thought the limit had been reached in the operating department, except what would come from tn use of heavier locomotives, air brakes, self couplers and other Improvements that come to the front from time to time. He thought that live years from now railway managers would look upon the depression which roads hav labored under for three yean past as really beneficial to the road interests. May Lose the Wubssh Shop. Citizens of Fort Wayne are considerably disturbed over the rumor that the Wabash people have under consideration the erecting of more extensive shops at Teru, should the new line from Ashley to Peru be tullt. Doubtless there is good ground for this alarm on the part of Fort Wayne. The Fort Wayne Sentinel seems alive to the danger, and appeals to the citizens to make a move In the matter. It says: "There Is considerable talk about a proposed road connecting the Wabash main line with the Chicago-Detroit branch. providing, of course, that the suits which are now pending regarding the control of the Eel lilver road go against the Wabash Company. In that ease a new line becomes a necessity, and its location is a question that is interesting the citizens of several cities even at this early day. Tcru wants the road, and if It is to be built that city will make an effort to get it. But it is the opinion of men who have investigated the matter that the natural route for a connecting lino between the two Wabash roads lies between Fort Wayne and Butler, and if it Is ever necessary to construct one, there Is where it will be. Over this route the distance is only about twenty-two miles; over the route proposed by the Perti people it is about seventy miles. When the question of a new connecting line first c?-me up, C. M. Hays, who was then general manager of the Wabash, favored the Fort WayneIiutler route because of its shortness, liht grades and good country through which it ran. It is quite likely that the present general manager will take the same view of the matter when he looks over the ground. In the meantime, our. citizens should keep an eye on this project and work with a view of bringing the road to Fort Wayne when the Wabash Company pets ready to build it. Such a line would open up a new territory to our merchants, give employment to our laborers and add to the welfare of the city in other ways." Illinois Hallways. Advance copies of the railroad commissioners report of the State of Illinois show there are now in active operation in the State 13.im.94 Tniles of railroad tracks, of which 19.544.21 Is ma'n trackage, 1.309 is second, third and fourth tracks, while 3.9S3 Is sidings. IliinMs leads all other States in the Union in the total mileage, which is 1D.02 miles of road for every one hundred square miles of territory in the State, or thirty-six miles of road for every ten thousand inhabitants. The capitalization of the railroads in the entire State and those doing business in Illinois Is SiMy.D.PM.H:'. which is $7.r5d per mile of road. The amount paid by these roads during the past year in dividends in the State was $22.40y.4l). which is a decrease from 1j3 of Jo.37S. or 24-liwth of 1 per crt. The total passenger revenue daring the "-ear. Including express and malls, .-.mount, d to 5Z.53,517; freight earnings. $il771.i::4. which is an increase in both eori.ii.,n of several million dollars over 1'.'5. The operating expenses for the year were J W. 521.077. which is also a large increase over the year previous. The proportion of operating expenses to operating ineom was ca.ll p'r cent. The total number of employes Is given as 72.2V), aggregating an annual salary of $10,702,247.20. The highest salary per day paid engineers wan f l.-.2; lowest salary, ?1.S2. During the year twentv-one passengers were killed and hl injured; 173 employes were kllltsl and l.:;M injured; trespassers, etc.. 401 killed and 4,7 iujjred. The amount of taxes pnld the State by these roads during the year shown an increase of over over l.5. Amerlenii Hnllwnjn the IIe.it. Some time ago the German government sent a commission to this country to study the American railroad systems. The result is a report just published and transmitted to the State Department at Washington by Vnted States Consul Monoghan at Chemnitz in which, with a frankness almost unknown in such cases, tho commissioners contrast the American and German railway systems, much to the disadvantage of the latttr. The report will be f much interest to railway nun, and even to the trencral American public, fur it shows that, notwithstanding the criticisms that have been heaped on our own railroads for higher charges, insufficient passenger accommodations and the like. In every point we are far in the bad of the continental systems. The stale of prices included in the report "hows in favor of the American rate for comfortable carriages, while In the matter of schedule time the European rail v. ays cannot ie classed nt all with tho American lines. There is nothlnir in all llurore. the I I'onsul shows, to equal In running thne and comfort the service between .New York and Chicaso. InniiKuratlon Hate Manipulated. The trouble over rates to Washington to tho inauguration seems to be growing. Nearly every road running east from Chi cago is cf the opinion that all the other road are manlpulatlnj? tho rate In an indirect manner, by giving privileges that are not called for in the agreement. No actual charges have as yet been, made

against any on road, but the distrust and suspicion sterns to be general, and all of the road.s seem to be of the opinion that If they took a notion to cut rates openly they would have ample Justification in the tattles that are beir.tT pursued by their competitors. All th'; nere.sar elements for ;i first-clays row between the roads are in sight right now.

Clover Lenf'n New Pnrehnalnfr Agent. P.. B. F. Peirce, receiver of the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City, yesterday appointed C. B. McVay purchasing agent of that road. Mr. McVay for some years was purchasing agent, cashier and paymaster of the Indiana. Decatur & Western. Previous to that he was with the Kentucky Central in the same capacity under George Bender, when its superintendent, and Mr. Bender, when appointed superintendent of (he I., D. & W., brouRht him to that road. Mr. McVay is considered an expert in statistical matters. His apuoiiitment becomes effective March 1 and his headquarters will be at Toledo. Personal, Loenl and General otes. William Gar3tang. superintendent of motive iower of the Big Four lines, will leave for New Orleans to-diy. On March 1 John G. Harris, commercial agent of tho Texas & Pacific, wiJ become division freight agent of the company, with headquarters at New Orleans. Engine SO, on the Vandalia. is now daily making the round trip between Indianapolis and St. Louis, hauling Train 11 west and Train 20 east, covering daily miles. Charles A. Hunt, who ran the first locomotive on the Steubenville cc Indianapolis road, now the Panhandle, died at Uhrichsvlllo on Monday, aged seventy-live years. A. G. Blair, president of the Wheeling & Lake Erie, has returned from New York, and talks more cheerfully as to the future thereof, and tho reorganization of tho company. The business of Train 31. over the Monon, has so increased that tho ten-section sleeping car would not accommodate the travel, and a fourteen-sectlon car has been substi tuted. A. McNalr. recently appointed yardmnster of the Toledo, St. Iuls &. Kansas City at Frankfort, is a nephew of commouore mcNair, of the Asiatic squadron of tho United States navy. A train crew on the Toledo. St. Louis & Kansas City claims to have hauled a train of thirty-six loaded cars and a caboose from Forest to Kokomo, fourteen miles, in twenty-three minutes. H. P. Mantz. representing the Chicago, Rock Island & pacific. Is In the city on official business. Ho states that travel Is Increasing on their lines, and their freight traffic is very satisfactory. Ground was broken on Tuesday for the extension of the Lima Northern, and it will soon Me running into Toledo over its own tracks. The company now uses the Wabash tracks to get into Toledo. Tho Bis Four people are taking steps to increase their grain traffic by Cleveland. It having fallen off greatly m me nisi icw yevirs. Dretsed meats and miscellaneous freights have been most sought for. The Detroit and Chicago express over the Wabash was on Friday hauUd 1W miles in three hours and fifty-live minutes, making ten stons. Much of the distance? was cov ered at an average speed of fclxty miles an hour. Russlaville has become one of the best paying local stations along the line of the Toledo. St. Louis & Kansas City. This is ono of tho points that the projected Indianapolis, Logansport & Chicago would pass through. John F. Miller, general superintendent of the Pennsylvania lines Southwestern system, on Alonday went to his headquarters at Columbus, O., for the first time in several weeks. His health has very much improved from his recent trip tf Florida. The latest ruling of the board of adminis tration of the Western Freight Association is that tho Tran3missouri Freight Committee is not authorized to establish through rates from points west of the Missouri river less than the current locals or proportions applying e-ast thereof. C. L- Davidson, chairman of the Iowa Railroad Commission, has written the presidents and traffic ruan:igers of all the Iowa lines and some others, requesting an emergency rate on corn shipments from Iowa during March because corn is soft and must be shipped before warm weather. A. M. Stewart, trener.il live stock agent of the Erie lines, was In the city yesterday. Through his visits of late to this point the F.rlrt has secured a vcrv respectable per cent, of east-bound live stock traffic, and when its Improvements at Buffalo are com pleted it will be a much more tormiaabie competitor. The special train which carried the Damrosch opera troupe from St. Louis to Cincinnati made a lively run between Indianapolis and Cincinnati over the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton. The train consisted of seven cars, and the 1-i miles was covered In three hours and seven minutes, or. deducting slow-downs, in less than three hours. The Canadian Pacific Railroad, it is stated on high authority, has purchased 00.000 tons of steel rails. The purchase Is the largest ever made by a single line in one lot. Carnegie & Co.. of Pittsburg, it is understood, are the sellers. The purchase tirlee is not arlven. but it is believed to be an advantageous one both to the steel com pany and the railway. John Lame, of the Union Depot force, has suffered a relapse, and last n'.ght his condition was thought to be serious. His trouble commenced with the grip and developed into pneumonia, with heart trouble. Mr. Lame Is one of the veteran railroaders of this section. Before taking a position at the Union Station he was for twenty-eight year3 a passenger conductor on the Beeiine. A. A. ZIon. superintendent of the Union Railway Company and Belt road, is arranging to begin the changing of the tracks leaeling east from the Union Station. When completed much time will be saved in the shifting of the regular passenger engines from one track to another, as each engine can be placed on a spur which leads to the train to which the engine on departing will be attached. George Lowell, general superintendent of the Louisville. New Albany ci Chicago, was in the eity yesterday. He states that there is a marked improvement in the business of the road, and the company is getting Its equipment in good shape to handle it. The shops at Lafayette are giving employment to 3JS men and running full time. Tl company now has 110 engines, atid ne cly all are in good working condition. The officials of the Illinois Central deny the story that they are figuring em the plan of running a line of steamers between New Orleans and Venezuela. They say that they have had the matter brought to their attention on several occasions, and that while they are of the opinion that such a lino of steamers would be an excellent thing, the Illinois Central has no intention at present of embarking In the enterprise. The Chlcago-St. Taul roads have, for the time being, given up their idea of reaching an agreement on the percentages that are to be allowed to the weaker in the physical Ik.oI. Several plans have been reported by the special committee, but none have proved acceptable, and after a long session yesterday it" was decided that it was impossible at the present time to reach an agreement and the committee was given more time and an adjournment was taken until next Monday. The C, II. & D. booked a party of eight yesterday for Japan. They will leave this evening for Chicago, from which iolnt they will take the overland express on the Santa Fe for San Francisco. From San Francisco they will take the Pacific line cf steamers for Honolulu. After spending a few days there they will sail for Sydney, thenco to Yokohama and from there to Japan, returning over the Australian steamship line to Vancouver. British Columbia, thence over the Northern Pacific to Yellowstone Park. Recently Vm. Greene, general manager of the Baltimore & Ohio, had occasion to go to Knoxville. His car went via the Norfolk At W.estern part of the way, striking that road at Roanoke in tho evening. It happens that the division superintendent's name Is Green. The yard crew sent a man to see if that was Mr. Green's car. and the porter, not being aware of the fact that thero were two Greens, sidetracked the car of General Manager Greene, of the B. & O., who. arising the next morning, found his car still at Roanoko when he expected to be in Knoxville. The time of the fast train over the Chicago. Burlington & Quiney last week ranged from fifty-five to seventy-five miles an hour. A better record has never been made for so long a distance, but a few miles consecutively have been run at a h'gher speed. It is not unusual, on the St. I.ouis division of the Big Four, for the Knickerbocker, between Mattoon and Torre Haute, where the track is perfectly level and straight, to reach a speed of seventysix to eighty miles an hour, and recently it ran two miles at a speed of eighty-two miles an hour, as shown by the general manager s sin-ed indicator. A call was Issued yesterday for a meeting of the Central Pasencer Committee to be held in Chicago, beginning March 3. Among the. more Important matters to be considered is the making of uniform ar rangements for the withdrawal of unlim Red fares, by which it is hoped to prevent the demoralization in rates. Another mat ter that will come before the meeting is the proposition to make second-class tick' ets in connection with transatlantic steer age tickets applicable via Boston and Port' land. Me. The Vandalia has made an auoll 'ation for the equalization of rates via the St. Louis gateway and it is expected also that J. he meeting will revise thoroughly the 1 umuigementit for homescekers excursions.

BALLOT NOT FOR WOMEN

SLPREJIH CO I'RT SAYS THEY CLEARLY HAVE 0 EIGHT TO VOTE. The Privilege, a Political One, tilven Only to Mule Ity the Constitution Gougnr Case. The question of women's right to vote in the State of Indiana was settled yesterday, probably for some time to come, by the decLslon of the Supremo Court In the case of Helen M. Gougar against the election officers of her precinct In Lafayette. Mrs. Gougar wa.s refused tho privilege of voting in Lafayette, and brought suit against the election officers to compel them to count her ballot. The case was decided against her in the lower court, and was carried higher, Mrs. Gougar herself making oral argument before the Supreme Court. But all was in vain, and yesterday the judgment of the trial court was sustained. The opinion of the Supreme Corrt, as pronounced by Judgo Hackney, is, in part, as follows: "The question in this case is, have women, under existing laws in this State, the privilege of suit rage, or is sex a qualification upon the right to vote for public offices? "It will be observed that the langdage employed in the Constitution of this State, where it refers to tho right to vote, grants to males that right, and that it does not expressly negative the privilege to female citizens. In this respect our Constitution is like that of every State in the Union, and proceeds upon the assumption that the privilege of voting is not an inherent or natural right existing in the absence of constitutional and legislative grants ami to be limited or restricted only by constitutional or legislative provision. If this assumption is correct and there is no right of suffrage) except as it is given by the Constitution and written laws, v.e have reached tho solution of the question at issue. If suffrage is a natural rlsht it is not abridged as to any citizen on account of sex. but If it is a iolitical privilege it is held only by those to whom it is granted. That it is a political privilege and not a natural right has been alflrmed not onlv In this assumption of the framers of every constitution in the land, but It has be-en declared by all authority and precedents without exception." Tho decision then cites a number of authorities In support of the court's view, and resumes: ' Our Constitution sought to establish a representative e-ervernmcnt, a government wherein only limited numbers express the will of all the people, and it was declared that those to represent the whole number should be males possessing the qualifications enumerated. The government thus established is but the agent or trustee of the state, the people and it has deprived Its authority through the Constitution, In forming this government the peo ple, declared that their authority should be exercised by and at the command of males of a designated class. That the exercise of such authority may be Intrusted to en larged classes with fewer restrictions, there is and can be no doubt, but to do so is with those who gave the authority, the people, and it is no more within the power of the Judicial or the legislative branch of the government to modify the will of the people, as expressed In th? Constitution, than it is for the agent In any case to stand above the principal authority. Those of us who have come into the State since the adoption of the Constitution, anel those who did not vote for its adoption, as well as those who may have voted against Its adoption, are alike bound by Its provisions. and we can exercise no political or gov ernmental right or privilege which is not given by it. Such privilege as that of suffrage was not given to women, and If it only exists by grant, as we have shenvn. it must be admitted that those to whom it was given may exerefsev It as the agents for the State, the whol people, males and female, not possessing it. If an agency exists which Is contrary to our Ideas of aelvancing civilization, and the highest sense of liberty, our privilege is to change It, but only through the authority of the principal, the State. That the privilege of voting does not exist in the absence of grants from the -people or their authorized representatives Is consistent with the decisions which declare that legislatures may not abridge the privilege as declared in the Constitution by adding restrictions or. limitations not therein defied. ;- "Not only do authority and the assumption by all the states In the form of their grants of suffrage establish the theory that the privilege exists only with those to whom it is expressly given, but it Is supported by the fact that ir it should be held that females were not denied tho privilege, there would be an entire absence of restrictions upon the privilege as to them. Age, residence, naturalization, would be required of males, but as to females, the younge-st and the oldest, nonresidents aliens and all would bo no restriction." ' A mass of opinions and decisions 4n cases similar to the one before the court were quoted, all to the same effect. The decision closes: ''Whatever the personal views of the justices upon the advisability of extending the franchise to women, all are agreed that under the present Constitution it cannot be extended to them. The Judgment of the lower court In sustaining the elemurrer of the appellees to the appellant's complaint for dama-gs in denying her the light to vote Is affirmed." CLAIMED WITNESS FEES. Civic Lrnsuers Who Convicted Saloon Keeycr Jlurlcy. . In Police Court yesterday morning Timothy Hurley, kee"per of a saloon at the corner of Georgia and Illinois streets, was tried for two violations of the Nicholsc)n law. His arrest was brought about by Messrs. Newlin, Teas and Whitehead, the three members of the self-eonstltuted Civic League. They charged that Hurley had violated tho third and fourth sections of the Nicholson law in allowing persons other than members of his own family In the saloon after hours and in drawing the blinds so a clear view of the Interior could not bo had from tho street. All three of the men weTe on the stand and the case resulted in the conviction of Hurley on the charge of violating Section 4. He was fined $10 and costs. Some surprise was manifested when the three men claimed witness fees in the case, as it was not supposed by tho police that men actuated by none but the highest motives would attempt to profit by the conviction of one of their victims. The records of the court do not show, however, that they secured witness fees, as the case had been closed and an entry to that effect made before they put in their claims. It is said these men have been claimtng fees in cases which they brought before the justice of the peace. Herman Wright, who was accused of embezzlement, was tried on a charge of Improper associations. The polico had an old case against him and found him in a house kept by May Van Horn. It was said at the time of his arrest that he had embezzled & from the Colby Wringer Com pany, but this company has been out of existence over a year. Wright was fined and se-nt to the workhouse on the secondary charge. Eva Lynn, the wom'Hn who got drunk Tuesday evening and raised a distruhance at the oflice of Drs. Furnlss. was lined Jl and costs on each of two charges and went to the workhouse. She was at one time a "fortune teller" and when arrested told the police that she had a divine call to aid the poor and distressed by giving them val uable information. John Gray, who was arrested on suspicion of being Nathan, alias Badger Bell, an escaped convict from the Prison South, was tried on a charge of vagrancy and allowed to go on a suspended sentence. The police were not able to show that he was the man. and Warden Hert gave It as his opin ion that Gray was not the famous Badger Bell. Bell escaped from tho Southern Penitentiary In May, Pl'-J, when Warden Patten was building the new wall around the place. He 11 and Robert Adams were mates in the eell adjoining the cell occupied by William Nelson and Frank McCarthy. The first two named worked at night with drills, boring holes in the stone fioor of their cell. The holes wen filled with cement so as not to be discovered during th day. Finally they had a square drilled round and were able to break out a piece of stone a foot and a half square. Then they cut a hole In the wall between the cells and the four men worked together, dic-ijlnir a tunnel from the cell to the yard outside the cellhouse. The earth taken out was hidden in sacks under their bunks during the day. lien the tunnel was larg enough the four men crawled out and easi ly scaled the board fence that wa doing 1 . , M . 1 service as i w.ni. one oi me men nave been captured. THE WATER DISTRICT SCHEME. Councilman Wolcott Favor It StreetCar Ouiirridili. Councilman Wolcott was very much Im pressed with the plan to create a water dls trict of thin city and its suburbs for the

purpose of purchasing the water plant by

the lss te of bonds of the district. He thought such a scheme could be success-, lully carried out and that it might extend not only to the water plant, but to tho lighting ifant as well. It had also been suggested that such a. plan be. adopted to secure municipal ownership of the streetcar system. He said he would not favor such a plan on account of the fact that there are so many employes of the street car company that It would be better to not allow It to be-come mixed up with city politics. He thought, however, that it would be a good nlati for the city to own the tracks and lease them to a company for a term of years, say ten or fifteen years, at an annual rental, the companjnoiaing tno lease to keep the tracks in repair and return them to the city at the end of the period In as good condition as when received.

Vorhis had been drinking and tried to get the girl to go with him. which she refused to do. Two other glrla passed and asked Vorhis to go with them. He said he would as soon as he settled with White. The girls passed' on and orhls still continued to quarrel with White. At this time Singleton stepped between tho two men and attempted to separate them. This enraged Vorhis. who slapied Singleton. Then, according to Whites testimony. Singleton stepped back to the curb and urew his revolver and shot Vorhis, the first shot killing him. Singleton snapped tho revolver twice afterward, but it failed to lire. Nettie Hobbs and Portia Mitchell, the two gftis who passed while the eiuarrcl was on. told the same story. They said they passed on and expected Vorhis to follow them. When about seventy-five feet away they were attracted by the loud talking and turned In time to see Singleton tire the shot that killexl Vorhis. Joe Porter, who was with White at the time of the shooting and "was arrested Immediately afterward, told the came story as told by the other witnesses. He saiel Singleton fired twice at "Doc" Thornton, who was with Vorhis, after he had shot Vorhls. MRS. CROPPER'S BAIL Made Very Low Her Ifnnhand Severe ly Lectured. Y'esterday morning Judse Cox held Mrs. Cropper, who shot John Romlser In the legIn the old Sentinel building two weeks ago, for grand jury action under a nominal bail, which she gave. It developed in the hearing of the case that James Cropper, the woman s husband, had been etrunlt for five days, and had left his wife to her own re sources. Rcmiser testified to the facts about the shooting, on which there is no dispute. Judge Cox gave Mrs. Cropper's husband a severe lecture on his conduct, and told him that if he did not stop drinking and in tho future make a pleasant home for Mrs. Cropper he did not deserve to be called a man. THE COMPANY OT LIADLE, Thougrh It CauMed the Arrest of an Innocent Man. Tho Supreme Court yesterday reversed the decision of the Clinton County Circuit Court in the case of Martin Mason against the Terre' Haute & Indianapolis Railway Conpany. Mason's suit was for V3.230 damage for false imprisonment on the com pany s charge of having stolen tickets that hail been collected, but not canceled ly the conductor. He was acquitted on the criminal charge and awarded the damages asked. But the Supreme Court reveises the decision which allows 1dm damages, on the ground that tho company acted upon facta pointing to the guilt of Mason, and can not, therefore, he held liable in damages.

One of the City Engineer' Inxpectors Employed Ity School flonrd. During a part of March and April last year Dennis J. Wren drew two salaries of $00 a month from the city. He was an applicant for a position In the engineer's office as inspector, and he got it after he dropped out of the race for sheriff and left the field to Martin Anderson. At that time the School Board decided to build a sewer to connect with No. 13 school.' The contract was let and the sewer was to brj built under the supervision of the city engineer. The board asked the engineer to detail an inspector to look after the work and Wren was selected for the place. He went to work on this job March U and rendered his bill for four weeks ending April 6 for $t;o. The bill was approved by P. J. O'Meara, suicrlntcndent of buildings and grounds, and Commissioner Roth, of the committee on buildings and grounds, it was then paid in the regular way. While Wren was still at work on this sewer ho was placed on the pay roll of the city as an inspector and began drawing pay. For March he drew pay for eleven days at the rate of $00 a month, and then he regularly drew a month from that time until October, for which month hedrew his last salary. He either did not do any work for the city until after April 6 or else he slighted the work of the School Board for most ot the time for which he drew pay. He was paid for remaining on duty at the schoolhouso sewer at all times that the men were at work, and to have left It for any length of time to lock after city work would have been a neglect of duty.
