UNIFORMS FOR CO. B.

Petitions Presented to the City Council and Names of the Signers Upon the Citizens' Petition.

REMARKS BY GEN. LEW WALLACE,

Four Councilmen Kx press Their Views— Xlie Mayor and City Attorney Also Kp Made Speeches.

The City Council met in special session July 2(5 with every membar present to receive the petitions in reference to uniforming- Co. B. While waiting for Gen. Lew Wallace the matter of papering-, painting, remodeling and cleaning the city building was under discussion. It was finally agreed to hold a special meeting

011

Wednesday evening, and bids fordoing the work will be received by the city clerk up to 0 o'clock that evening.

Gen. Wallace arrived shortly after 8 o'clock and found the council waiting to hear him concerning Co. B. He commenced by saying that he would not ask a councilman to do what he himself would not do: neither had he ever ordered troops into dangerous places where he would not go. So he desired the councilmen to understand that what he was presenting he felt was perfectly right, proper and legal yet, if any councilman should think otherwise his opinion would be treated with all respect.

THE PETITIONS.

Gen. Wallace said that there were three petitions that had been prepared to present to the council. One was signed by 'members of the old Montgomery Guards and was in the hands of Major Foote, who was out camping, therefore this one would have to be handed in hereafter. Another one was signed by Gen. Lew Wallace and every member of Co. B, there being 88 names upon this one. The third petition had been carried around by Gen. Wallace, who said that out of all to whom he had presented the petition, but six had refused to sign it.

TIIE PROPOSITION AND PI.AX.

Gen. Lew Wallace in presenting the plan that was to be pursued in the matter, stated that the unrest prevalent in this country aud the events of the pasi few weeks, plainly showed that we should be prepared for any emergency that might arise, in fact at any time. lie said that it was proposed, in case the Council should provide uniforms for Co. B. Montgomer Guards, that the members would be subject to the call of the Chief of Po lice (or Police Board and Mayor) and would act as special police, drawing pay for the time only in actual service. The uniforms (costing from SO to §10) to always remain the property of the city, and never be removed from the armory—except when worn by the members while on duty or drilling. He had also looked into the legality of the Council doing this, and thought as the law gave that body the right to regulate the police and provide for protecting the city's interests, as also maintaining firemen, that this proposition would come under this statute, because it would be providing'for the protection of the city. The city surely had the right to purchase badges, hats and maces for the police, as well as appliances for the firemen, it would also have the right to purchase uniforms for Co. B, the members to act as special policemen. Then, also, the cost of the uniforms would be taken from the first pay said members would draw from the city for actual service. In case the city would purchase the uniforms, it was proposed to purchase the ma terial and pay our own citizens for making the suits.

REMARKS BY COUNCILMEN.

Dr. Thomas was the first to arise to speak upon the matter, and said that he would be outspoken in saying that he had not looked upon the propotion with much favor, but that after hearing it presented by Gen. Wallace he had some light thrown upon the subject, and he would give the petition a respectful consideration. One thing that he had considered was the matter of cost, which seemed would be 8300 to §1,000 yet he would look faithfully into the entire matter, and act as to his convictions.

Ed Reynolds said that he stood upon the same ground as Mr. Thomas. He was at Chicago the day after the serious riot, and he said that he was deeply impressed with the effect that the soldiers had upon the mob. He said that crowds of people who could not speak a word of English, would stand and gaze at the cannon and soldiers

as if awe-stricken to think that a check had been put upon their mad work ami that '"freedom" in America did not mean that you could do as you desired unless it was lawful, lie said that the great trouble in checking mobs was the time it takes to concentrate troops, but when this was done mobs melt away. While in Chicago Mr. Reynolds never heard a word of praise of the actions of Mayor Hopkins, save by the strikers.

Mr. Wilhite did not favor the plan as he thought it might set a bad precedent and other organizations of the city might with as much propriety make the same request.

Mr. McCampbell said he voiced the remarks of Dr. Thomas. There were people in the city who now were unable to pay their taxes, and as the city financial ship was carrying a big load it was a question if the expense incumbent upon the granting of this petition could be carried. Yet he would specially consider the matter and act as he thought best—as it made no matter what was done, some persons would not be satisfied.

Messrs. Myers and Robinson did not have anything to say and the Mayor and City Attorney made a few remarks. On motion the petitioners were referred to the committee on petitions, Myers, Thomas and Reynolds, with instructions to report at the next regular session of the Council.

MILITIA WILL BE PAID.5

Governor Matthews Decidcs to $40,000 from Banks.

Borrow

Governor Matthews announces that the claims of allmembersof the militia who served in the field during the va-x-ions strikes will be paid between the 15th and 20tli of August. There is no fund available among tiie resources of the State without a special appropriation, but the Governor intends to become a borrower on the credit of the State at the bank for the amount needed. The total amount required for the payment will be nearly 840,000. The boys of Co. I should, therefore, hold on to their time checks when they receive them and not sell them at a discount.

Death of John M. Shirk.

John M. Shirk, formerly of this city, but late of Gas City, Ind., died at his home Jul}' 21, 1894, of stomach trouble. He was married to Georgia A. Darnell in 1803, to them have been born six children three of whom are still living: Ed Shirk, of this city, and Misses Clara and Ora, at home. Mr. Shirk had been in poor health for a number of years, but was taken dangerously ill just a week previous to his death. He was a member of the Primitive Baptist church at l'isgali and was a consistent Christian. He was industrious and honest in business and a kind and obliging neighbor. In his death the community in which lie lived loses a good citizen and his family a loving husband aud father. For a number of years he has endured the battle of life and honestly and cheerfully met and discharged its duties, and now, after a long experience, the gray head sweetly rests from the cares of life. He truly has fought a good fight, and can now say: "O, death where is thy sting! O grave where is thy victory? His funeral was conducted by Rev. Jonathan Vancleave, of Waveland, Ind. The services were very impressive. The floral offerings were beautiful. There was a large attendance of relatives and friends. The family have the deepest sympathy of the entire community.

Death of Mrs. Hannah Lasley. Mrs. Hannah Lasley died last Monday at 11 o'clock at the residence of her son-in-law, J. C. Duckworth, on south Elm street.

The deceased was born in Virginia in 1811, moving from there to Tennessee, and thence to Kentucky and come to Crawfordsville in 1853. She was twice married, and was the mother of seven children, two of whom survive her, Mrs. J. C. Duckworth and Mrs. Thomas Willis, of Nebraska. She was a member of the Baptist church, having connected herself with that church at an early age. Funeral at J. C. Duckworth's Wednesday. Interment in the Masonic cemeterj'.

SOME PECULIAR OFFICIAL SECRECY.

Hollowrty'S Brother Interviews tlio KORQtltile KcHtuurtuit keeper From Whom llolloway bought the Sandwich.

Terre Haute Express: Ed llolloway, in jail here charged with wrecking a Big Four passenger by throwing a switch at Fontanet

011

the night of

July 12th, will be taken from the jail for a preliminary hearing next Monday. llolloway, aud his attorney, in the face of the suspect's confession,-, sworn to before Coronor Mattox, insist that the story first told by llolloway and printed in the Express is correct, and that the confession was coerced from him by Detective Grady by the influence of threats aud promises.

Coroner Mattox, before whom llolloway swore to his confession, admitted last night, when confronted with the evidence in the hands of a reporter, that the man had been found from whom llolloway had bought the sandwich at Rosedale at 10 o'clock on the night preceding the wreck, lie said this information had been obtained soon after llolloway had repudiated his confession, but that he (the coroner) was ordered to give out

110

infor

mation concerning the disclosure. The truth is, Detective Dwyer,whose judgment is as good as any of them, has never believed that llolloway was guilty and was among the first to discredit the suspect's confession even after he had gone before the coroner and made bath to it. On Wednesday of last week Detective Dwyer went up to Rosedale on a tour of investigation. What he learned or what news he brought back has never been made public, but enough is known to give rise to the conclusion that he found evidence supporting his own theory, from the fact that he has since had nothing to do in hunting evidence to fasten the crime on llolloway. Detective Dwyer is quoted as saying that he believes llolloway is an innocent sim pleton and in no way responsible for the wreck. At any rate the news brought from Rosedale by Detective Dwyer did not suit Detective Grady, and Grady went up to Rosedale to "see for himself" on the day following Dwyer's visit.

What Detective Grady learned is known only by the admission made by Coroner Mattox to an Express reporter last night. The coroner when asked why the facts had been withheld said that he had been instructed to secrecy and was not at liberty to disclose them. He said that the restaurant keeper, named Hogan, and another man living at Rosedale had been ordered to appear before him and that Hogan had not responded to the summons because of sickness but would probably be in Terre Haute to-day to testify.* It is understood that Hogan's evidence will be to the effect that at about 10 o'clock 011 the night of Thursday, July 12, the night preceding the wreck a young man, a stranger, did come into his restaurant and called for bologna and crackers that he had no bologna, but sold the stranger a sandwich. That he aud his customer talked of the trouble at Fontanet and of the fresh wound on the stranger's face and the customer told him how he came by the wound Hogan will, of course, be taken to the jail, and if he recognizes llolloway as the man who came into his restaurant it will be evidence conclusive that Hoi loway was in Rosedale at 10 o'clock on the night of the wreck, as he said in his statement to an Express reporter immediately after his arrest.

Hollovvay's brother in preparing to establish an alibi has visited Rosedale and has secured a sworn statement from Hogan confirming Ed's story of his visit to that town.

While in the Express office solicit ing the Express reporter to confess that he (the reporter) had advised Hoi loway to recant his confession and to urge the Express to suppress the fact that llolloway had told the coroner that he was frightened into a confession by Grady, the latter told a blood curdling story of a scene which took place while he and Holloway were passing the scene of the wreck. Grady said that as the train came up to the place where the cars were piled one on top of the other, llolloway leaned out of the window and in a trembling voice said, "There is where I threw the I couplingpin with which I broke the lock." The detective said he (the de tective) then pointed to the hole in which the fireman and engineer had been crushed and scalded to death and said, ''there, Ed, is where those poor men died whom yon murdered.

Grady said the reference almost struck the suspect dumb that he turned deathly pale, his lips quivered and his head dropped on the back of the seat as though he was going to faint, and then remained speechless until the

train was several miles from the scene... A reputable citizen, whose word will be taken in any court, and who was on the train and sitting in the seat opposite the detective and suspect, closely watching every movement, says that no such scene ocurred aud could not have been enacted without him being a witness.

He Never Smiled.

Last Friday the blind man who is now playing a fiddle, turning a hand organ and singing upon the streets got into the Auditor's office, by some means, and then began singing "Washed in the Blood of the Lamb." This was kept up until the room was crowded with peoDle, attracted there by the unusual noise. There the blind man sat, and Walter Hulet was at his desk, but never paid any attention to the noise. But the audience understood that it was a drive at Brookshire —that is that John E.oLamb would help down him this fall.
