Th* remit is that wide beaches ol mud covered with rotting vegetable life have been formed, and it to alleged that tbe effluvia arising from tb* decomposition to injurious te health. The farmers ia the vicinity, with an eye to utility rather than beauty, want tbe lakes drained and their beds converted into fertile fields, while those who love the lakes for their beauty, and cooling winde, and boating and fishing, bitterly oppose tho idea of draining them.

A history of tho metropolitan police law in brief is as tallows: Tho Legislate re in 1663 enacted a law which provided that all mites te the State having a population of 29,000 or more, by tho census of 1850, should be policed by the State, independently of the municipal local government. The direct control of the police was placed te th* hands of eommissinnen, appointed by the principal State officers. The law at that time applied only to Indianapolis aad Evansville. Th* last Legislature put these cities again into control of their own polio* and amended the law so that it should apply to Terr* Haute alone. As Ft. Wayne is larger than Terre Hants it would not answer to make toe basts on* of population, as that would have brought Ft. Wayne under the operation of the law. It would not have been legal to specify Torre Hoot* by name. Thus tho Legislature was compelled to find some basis for classification, which, while being general in iu terms, would yet include only the one city. At this point some thoughtful legislator remembered that although Ft. Wayne to larger than Terra Hants ia population tho latter bad the greater enumeration of seftool children. Here was a peg to hang the law on and the act was made to apply to ail cities having a school enumeration of fourteen thousand or over. This seemed to meet the demands of the law-makers and

the act became a law.

Th# eity of Terre Haate, as reproeonted by its officers, refused to submit to the law and there has been much friction. The elty government is Republican, while th* metro-

cratic Legislature fixed the law te order to force Democratic officers upon a Republican city, and that Ft Wayne waa exempted because it was already democratic, and the law would have forced Bepablieau officers

upon its police force.

The grounds on which th* city of Terra Haate is resisting the law were brought out in the speeches to-day. It to argued that there to bo possible relation between the number of echool children and police regulations, and that, consequently, th* basis of classification which restricts tbe law to Terre Haate alone to arbitrary, unreasonable and illegal.

Th* State to to-day well into the murder case of Charley French, for the killing of Andrew Dillon, marshal of Haughvill*. A jury was secured yesterday afternoon, and it has the appearance of being one of jhe most intelligent janes that has tried a man on the charge of murder in Marion county for a good many years. Tb# following are the jurors: W. A. Webb, Eli Harvey, C. Lockwood and Simon Smock, Perry township; Georg* Newhoose, Lawrence; Norman Corcoran, James L. Faugfat, T. B. Meaeick and H. A. Farrell, Center; William Dawaou, W r a*bingtoo; Jess* Wright, Wayne, and Eldp Brown, Franklin. The case is not attracting an anusnal amount of attention. Only the usual number of spectators are about the courtroom. The most important witness yesterday was Patrick Dillon, brother of the murdered marshal. He testified to having had a talk with French After bis arrest, in which he (French) said it was William Hubbard who fired the shot. Several witnesses described the seen* in Haughville on the night of the killing, but there wax no direct evidence that French fired the fatal shot Among th* important witnesses to-dav was Fannie Pierce, who was with tbe crowd in Haughville on the night of the killing. Her testimony was that when th# shots were fired she, and th* crowd with her. started to run. They first ran west and then went east. The witneos, while running, picked up a revolver, which she carried home with her. She testified that French called atth* bourn for th* revolver, claiming that to was tb* one he bad thrown away. Chief Detective Splan was also a witness, aud testified to a conversation he had had with French. Dr. E. F. Hodges, who held the postmortem examination over Dillon’s body, testified to the nature of tbe wound, which he said, was necessarily fatal. Tbe revolver which tbe Pierce woman had picked up was handed him for examination. He was then Asked if tbe size of tbe bullet taken from Dillon’s body corresponded with tbe eize of tb* caliber of the revolver. Heaaiditdid. The State will hardly get all its evidence ia to-day.

THEY DECLARE FOR GRESHAM.

Tho Soldiers' Monument Commissioners have invited four famous sculptors to offer dengas for the great bronze groups symbolical of “war” and “peace,” which are to stead at toa base of tbe monuaoat. Thia has boon announced before. Now answers accepting tho invitation have been received. Tbe four sculptors ore Adrien Gaudez, of Paris, France; Kieoiaus Geiger, of Berlin, Germany; Paul W.

He has been awarded first prises on hto work raveral years in the annual exhibition* in Paris. _* Brewster is th* designer of the crowning figure of tbe Soldiers’ Monument, and a sculptor of great promise. The monument commissioners arc an exceedingly well satisfied bodv of men siuoa they have beeu assured of the co-operation of these artists. The fear ha* been that sculptors capable of grasping and reproducing in bronze tbe noble ideas which should eharaeteriae these groups eould not be enlisted in th* work, bnt now that four to removed. The comm its ioness, however, have not yet abandoned their determination to place the badges of the G. A.

That a the company which owns tbs big strawboard works at Noblssvtllo. It has now been several months sine* th* fact that too refuse from this establishment was killing th* fish and destroying the parity of White river. A great deal was said about th* matter, bat th# works want right along discharging thousands of gallons of

refuse into toe river every week.

Finally, after several analyses had conclusively proven that to* water waa terribly injured by the refuse, the State Board of Health gava to* straw board company notice that legal proceedings would be brought against it unless it took prompt measures to remedy the evil. Tbe company promised to do something at oooe, and it did. It out som# wire screens where tbe refuse would have to drain through them, and seemed to consider that it had don* all that could reasonably be asked.

Jacob M. Wolf, one of Marion connty’s old pioneers, who died at hie home north of Brightwood, ae noted in yesterday's News, on Sunday morning, for fifty-five oonseontive years had been a resident of Marion eonffty. The funeral services were held in the Ebenszer Lutheran ohurch this' afternoon, conducted by Bey. Mr. Schwiok, the pastor. Mr. Wolf was widely known

and highly esteemed as an honored citizen and as a kind neighbor. Ho was married in 1844 to Miss Mary J. Tyner, who sur-

vives him. He was tbe father of nine children, eevsn of whom survive and five of whom were in attendanoe upon bis funeral. For the past few months the employes in the shops and yards of toe Bee Line railroad have been having a half-holiday on iSaturday afternoon. At first it ocoaeioned some complaint, but all had settled down to like it. Lost week, however, another change wat made. A change of the time of beginning work, making a day of nin* hours through the winter months, and working all day Saturday. This ettaug* gives jnstone hour 1cm in a week than five and a half days of ten hours. Sunday closed an annual session of the Olive Branch Synod of tbe English Lutheran church, which synod comprises parts ot Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. It was held in the Ebenezer cbarch,located northwest of Brightwood. There were thirty-five ministers present. The sacrament of the Lord's Sapper was observed on Sunday morning, and more than two hundred communed. Tbe ministers were entertained in the country homes of the membership of Ebenezer church. The schools of Brightwood, under th* leadership of Professor Birehfield, are moving along with success. The cramped condition of some of the rooms has necessitated a change in the established program.

Trustee Gold will insist upon tbe foil coarse of study laid down as being

The West Indianapolis Carpenters’ Union bos disbanded, tbe members transferring their oards to the city organizations. Th* West Indianapolis town trustees ore annoyed over a report in a morning paper that they will hereafter meet at the 8L Denis saloon. The statement, they say, to make from whole doth. They will not appoint that or any other saloon as a meetingplace for the town’s ohief officers. Th* people of that section of West Indianapolis around Belmont avenue are interesting themselves in the proposed sewer which the trustees are talking of building from Howard street to Eagle creek. David Johnson, one of th* oldest residents in the sabarb, does not tike tb* tile drain, but thinks tost a sewer proper should be built sufficiently large to drain that whole end of town for yean te eome. This must be done sooner or later, ho says, aad tho cost of digging will be the same in any plan. Tha eewer now proposed will drain two etreets only, leaving several others withoat any oatlet for surplus water. Little basiness woe before the West Indianapolis trustees last night. They wet* puseled by th* appearance of a town warrant for $250, stamped “paid” by th* ladiaospoito hank, bat wbion the Richmond Fire Alarm Company still claimed woe unpaid. It did not bear the corporation seal, though President J. L. Mabee and Clerk J. H.
