rer?onal Gossip About Men Whoso Varies Appear in Court Records. The Spfcial Lines of Law Easiness in YLich They Have Distinguished Themselves Characteristics of Socio of Them.

In the eort-rol!a about ondf-third of the 1D0 lawyers of the I&dianarolia bar appear frequently, wbi'a another third hare cases now and then to iv them a prominence. These, with the otheta who rarelr figure in courts, add to tDeir incomes by conducting an office business. Cases of great importance hare not of lato years been numerous, but there are encash in the course of a year to present tho best oratorical talent of the a lTocate from rusting. The pleader and counselor of well-known position always have work to do. It would be bard not to Sod on any day, in the ofScea of leading attorneys facts, if they could bo osed. that would fill a column of ruroanca and interest. But lawyers are as secretive as the confession al, and it is only when tbeir isiues come for trial before judp or jury that the public reach the secrets of many a commercial transaction or family affair. The IndianapolLn bar will compare . most favorably witb that of any ether city. Not only is its distinction acquired by the woric and talent of its older mtmltti, but much ia due to tha younger generation, or those who have been in practice twelve years or less. Beginning with the more prominent firms, that of Harrison, Miller and Elam. perhaps, shares most of the important cases, with two or three other firms. The senior member of this trio of able attorneys is a statesman to whom the highest sift of the Nation is not an improbable reward for his talent in the near f nture. W. H. II. Miller, the second member, is regarded as one of the ablest advocates at the bar, his mind analytical, his oratory forcible, and his conclusions always logical Mr. Elam is graduate of the law school of Butler University, and has had an active practice of twelve or fourteen ,!&fm3 At one time be was . a very successful cor.aty prosecutor, but since then it is only at rare periods he appears in criminal cases. The inn's yearly income is larjre, for the cases that eor-ie to it involve questions relating to large properties or commercial interests. , No law firm itf Indianapolis is probably more widely known than that of McDonald, Butler & llasoa. Their business is chiefly in the higher courts, and Mr. McDorald spends much of bis time in Washington attending to cases ponding in the United States Supreme Court. There are Jew cases of importance in the federal court that the firm does cot represent one side of, and this seems to be a branch of the business that Mr. Butler looks after chiefly, for bis face is quite as familiar to frequenters of the court-room as that f Judge Woods himself. Mr. Butler is the typical lawyer. He ia wonderfully logical, unyieldingly aggressive and irresistibly persistent There 13 no point in a case that escapes him. The junior member of the firm, Mr. A, I Mason, is, m learning, ability and prominence, further beyond his years, don btless, than any other young lawyer in the State. He graduated from Asbury University now De Pauw five or six years aeo with the Highest honors, and, in the beginning of his career as a lawyer, rve evidence of such uncommon ability that McDonald & Butler offered to take him into the firm as a partner. He is ambitious and is a hard worker. In the odd mo'jvot of his law studies, after be graduated r.nm kaII.m hn wrotn t laree voJnru". entitled

7,-v.jcn baa had a large saie. Baker, Qord & Hendricks is one of the most prominent firms in the West, and it has a national reputation, and its practice extends to the Jbars of other cities and to the Supreme Court of I tjie United States. It was tn this firm that the aCVVice-preeident Hendricks held an interest. Its DUiwe ia isrgoijr iti vu u vti Incorporations. llarnv& Calkins also bas a wide clientage amocr eon orations. It is among the first at the bar with aV income that places both gentlemen n a strootSGancial footing. fl Feele & Taylor control a fine business. They often appear in f he courts in the control of imnnn.nt .fha rlnr number ia vonrfl out his abilities baepreesed him to the front rapidly. The senior is an ex-congressman, while Mr. Taylor holds the lucrative and responsible office of city attorney. Twelve years ago there came to Indianapolis from Iowa John L. Griffiths. He becao to read Jaw under the instruction of Major Jonathan W. Gordon. In the office was another student. Alfred P. Potts. The young men socially and professionally were much together, and when the period of their tuition expired thev formed a ftw partnership. . Thronen tbeir tutors influence they had the good luck to make themselves known throush several important criminal eases. It is seldom that the firm takes one now, for it bus a strong clvntage among business men, Mr. GriCUhs is looked upon as one of the best orators at the bar, and aa an advocate his part ner bas also high rank tor one or his experience. They are making money, for the class of cases they dos.re are those that, pay welL Caleb S. Denny, the Mavor, has, within twenty years, advanced to the possession of a comfortable income through his legal practice. Hi official duties now require a treat deal of bis time, but iis partner, W. F. Elliott, attends to the law off ce work, and it is not infrequent

for both to appear in some case of significance. slorrifc & Newberger is another firm that prosper ny attends. Day after day their firm name is added to the court dockets as the attorneys in some criminal case, involving at times several thousand dollars. Morris & Nowbarge? acquire a great deal of business through aestsnmeots, and their clients are in all the large cities of the West that have constant busi- :. nesa relations with Indianapolis. Duncan, Smith & Wilson have 'a large raisreilaneoua business. Their abilities are weil adjusted for this kind of practice. John S. Duncan attends to the criminal branch, but then only when a matter of more than ordinary interest attends the case. Charlea W.. Smith divides bis time between the courts and the office busi- &. Be is a good speaker. John It Wilson attends to the equity practice. In this branch b is regarded aa one of the best read lawyers in the city. Their income runs up into the several thousands. - . Hitter & Flitter do a good general business. Capt. Eli Hitter did much, to bring the election conspirators t indictment. He studied the mysteries of that case with a clearness and earnestness that baa put the government in possession of a'.l the facta attending the crime. - John M. Judah. of Judah & Jameson, bas a Valuable clientage for corporations and companies. He does a large office business, althougn bia court cases are not aa many aa those of other . Crtus of qnal tand!Dg. Ferdinand Winter is often spokeji of as the student ltwyer. His caees are many and brine biro good fees, though his income is not regarded aa lanra as those of other lawyers who have not bis peculiar abilities. He is a searcher after trntb and persistent in making every detail, no matter bow trivial it may be, bear on bis case. Aftr be has prepared bis pleadings it would be dilflcult tor an opponent to find a flaw in them. Byoum & Beck do not attain much prominence in the courts, but they have an excellent Pcs.cesa. It is increasing, and when tbey do eo before ji !g or jury the ease has generally more than a legal interest Mr. Bynum, however, eicce his eon gresional career began, leaves the rn;'a inter' irt tn caro of the junior partner. Hawkins & Norton is aoother firm that has a large commercial clientage. Whi!e the latter was on tbe bench. Mr. Hawkim was alone in the practice, but within a year the old business relation wen returned. P.ylie'd & Ilwland hare a clientage that pays wei!

The strike of the Journal and Sentinel print ers on Friday night was followed by no develop ments yesterday of more than ordinary interest. About the offices the usual run of affairs was observable, except in the condition that would naturally attend a change in the entire force cf compositors. This, of course. interfered for a time somewhat with systematie working, but within a few hours by tbe entrance of new men, increased by several of the old force, who desired to remain, there did not appear much difference between the old and new conditions. Last evening twenty-four non-union printers ar nved from Milwaukee. - A part of hem were taken on by the Sen tinel and the remainder took service in the Journal's news-room. This morning forty printers from other places will reach the city and be given cases in one or the other of the offices. This will give each paper its usual force and permit the work to be carried on as before ' the 6tnke began. By to-night the change will be come so far perfected that affairs will run in their customary channel. i While the proprietors of the two papers were thus arranging their respective establishments the strikers stood in groups near the offices dis cussing the incident in tbe several phases that were suggested to them by their interest and concern . ia the movements. They were quie and offered no interference, In the morning the Typoeraphical Union No. 1 held a meeting at which, it was decided to refer tbe several questions tbey deemed as entering into tbe matter to the Inter national Typographical Union. Pending the consideration by that body tbe strikers will probably accept the change without public action. At this meeting they also adopted a statement for publication presented by the business committee of the onion which reviewed the situation as the striking printers consider it. In this statement it is claimed that after consnltine with tie proprietors of the various union offices in the city, the union advanced the scale of prices for book, job ana newspaper-wort, it is stated that majority of the employing printers agreed L to pay the new prices. and Friday evening, the statement continues, a telesram was received from St. Louis, to the effect that a party of non-union printers had been organized at that place and would leave during the nisht for Indianapolis. As previous information bad been received on tbe subject, the Sentinel chapel at once sent a committee to Mr. Crai? for a positive expression of purpose. He addressed the chapel and told the meu that from then on tbe service in tbe Sentinel office must be couditioned on a willincness to work inde pendent of the Typoeraphical Union orders. They rejected his proposition and walked out. While this was going on at the Sentinel office a similar scene was being enacted at the Journal . establishment. where all the eomposine-room employes, with two exceptions, went out. In conclusion, the statement sets torth that the proprietors of the Journal and Sentinel have done what the most conservative and least exacting labor organization cannot submit to. The committee of the Internatnal Typographical Union has been summoned here for immediate conference wtib I he strikers. The truth of this statement the proprietors of both the Sentinel and Journal deny. THE NATURAL-GAS ORDINANCE. A Fetititfn to Ilare the Schedule of Prices Amended Ga8 Within the Citj. A strong feeling among certain citizens has developed within tbe past few days relative to the delay in procuring natural gas for the city. Yesterday a petition addressed to the Common Council and Board of Aldermen was in circulation and one hundred and twenty-five leading citizens and firms bad signed. It asks the two bodies "to speedily amend the ordinance known aa tbe natnrai-gas ordinance so that it will conform, as nearly as may be. in prices to eve charged consumers with the ordinance acreed upon at a citizens' meeting recently held at the New Denison House." In support of this the signers say "We deem it of vital importance to the interesta of tbe city to obtain gas before next winter, and we urge speedy action." A called meeting of Council is to take place to-morrow evening to consider tbe question, and it is said that there will be but little trouble in having the schedule of prices amended. . The Manufacturer's Gas Company, boring on Nebraska street, in the southern part of the city, struck Trenton rock at 5 o'clock last evening at a depto of 800 feet As soon as the rock was penetrated tbe smell of gas was discernable, and as soon as a lighted match was touched to tbe pipe, a flame 8 feet high sprung upwards. The outlook for a better flow, the company think is very encouraging. They will resume , boring at 12 o'clock to-night. A FUED ENDS IN MURDER, "V Aa Old Qnarrel About a Roadway Through a Piece of Land Results ia a Tragedy. fpeclal to the Indtanasolit Journal. Jeffersonvillb, Juae 9. The details of a shocking tragedy enacted near Cbarlestown, twelve miles from here, this morning, at 8 o'clock, reached this city at noon to-day, tbe victim being Samuel T. Hay, cousin of Sheriff Charles Hay, of this city,, and the perpetrator of the crime Jacob Robinson, a wealthy farmer. Tbe tragedy was the culmination of an old fend that bas existed between the Robinson and Hay families for the past three years, .and which grew out of a suit for a roadway -through the farm of Robinson. Hay, who was unmarried and resided witb his widowed mother, had no outlet from his farm, except througn the premises of Robinson. He brought suit before justice Hucklebesry, of Cbarlestown, recently, for a right of way, and a verdict in his favor was rendered. This served to rekindle Robinson's hatred towards Hay, and he threatened to kill the whole family. Arming himself witb a double-barreled shotgun he left bis borne this morning, it seems, with - a fixed determination to commit murder. Meeting Hay and his sister in a buggy, on their way to Cbarlestown, he raised his gun. and, without a word of warning, eroptte'i both loads into the breast of the former, who tell lifeless. Robinson surrendered himself to Constable Boyer, of Charlestown, this afternoon. a Tfachers going to Cbieago on noon train loniiav ran secure parlor ear seats by coming to Kankakee ticket office, corner of Washington and Meridian streets.

THE EEPUBLICAN TICKET.

The Platform Adopted hy an Enthusiastic and Harmonious Convention. Calebs. Denny Is Nominated for Re-Election as Mayor While John W. Dowlas Is the Nominee for City Clerk. The Republican city convention at Tomlineon Hall, last night, was otia of interest In tbe earnest speeches that were made, the short, pointed resolutions that were adopted,-and in tbebar mony that attended every step of tbe proceea ings. The character of the several delegations eave to the body a representative value rarely noticed in meetings of the kind. From first te last the utmost enthusiasm prevailel. n.rtiinllv sfiar tha nominations WOTS announced. The . Hon. Stanton J Peelle, who presided, entered upon his duties with a speech that was heartily applauded. B said that the coming campaign, while it referrea to municipal control, meant something more. In the work the Republicans would do and the success they would achieve much could be addea to the strength of the party in the State. A city, in a sense, is a partnership in 'which each tax payer baa an interest. "We are fortunate," he continued "in meeting at a time urban ti ara eft mATW siCUS Of prosperity attending tbe city's development Our industries are thriving, work is plenty and the future is bright for continued growth, though there has never been a time like that of tbe two years past when Indianapolis bas done so much in recovering from a long period of depression. We look back over those two years and find every pledge of tbe Republi can party fulfilled. Taxes are reaf onable and our growth bas been almost phenomenal under Republican administration. Only last year the State was redeemed from tbe Democratic party and the signs are bright that the Republicans will sweep the country in the presidential year. The following secretaries were named: George Wallace, of the Seventh ward, Ben D. Bagbv, Fourteenth; A. J. Joyce, Twentieth; Wm. David. Eleventh; J. H. Lehr. Eighth; Wil bur Holliday, Ninth, and Joseph Gasper, Tenth. The committee on resolutions was composed of George Weaver. John E. Scott, W. A. Van Buren, Nelson Yoke and Joseph Moore. While these -crent'emen were formulating their renort the convention was addressed by Joseph B. Kealing, who bad a cordial reception. During his remarks the committee on resolutions came in with a report which was afterwards read, as follows: The Republicans of the citv of Indianapolis in convention assembled, congrautlating the people on the successful enforcement of the laws under the administration of Mayor Denny, and tbe economical management of e-ity affairs by our Common Council and .Board o ; Alderman, hereby reaffirm ice aeciarauona made by us in convention two years ago ; and we further declare ourselves in favor or 1. Th nnritv of elections. 2. The divorcement of all departments of the city government from all influences opposed to the enforce ment ot ine laws, ana especially iron me innueare ui those who do not hesitate to report to crime to gain political and judicial power. - 3. A taithf al compliance with all contracts and charter riehts by individnals. firms, or corporations. 4. Oppotition to granting charter rights to any person or corporatiou without reasonable limitations and without such charter rights being equally open to all, but not imposing such limitations as shall deter any person or corporation from entering upon any pubiio enterprise, nor such as sLall prevent it from yielding a just compensation. 5. Pubiio improvements where demanded by tbe public needs and the establishment of such new enter prises as will furnish employment to tbe laboring classes and promote tne convenience ot our people az.d tne material prosperity ot tne city. When the convention's readiness for the nom inations for Mayor was announced, Iac Thai man proposed the incumbent, Caleb S. Denny. Of this the delegates manifested the warmest approval in prolonged applause, which was an swered by repeated cheers outside of the building. In the midst of the enthusiasm Theodore W. Pease moved that ithe nomination be made-, by acclamation. Dr. Pearson and oth ers responded with seconds to this raotin wnich caused thecheeriug and clapping ot hands to be' renewed.. The motion prevailed and there were more cheers when Mr. Denny came to the stsee1 in answer to a demand for a speech. He said he would esteem it an honor to be nominated under any circumstances by such a convention, but when the honor came to him as it did he was placed under peculiar obligations. He was proud to be nominated by delegates who were not afraid to declare their principles. A few weeks ago a convention was held by which no principles were announced. He was in favor of the platform, and promised to carry into the campaign all the energy and time consistent with tbe discharge of tbe duties of his office. The resnlts of this e ection were so surely in favor of the Republican party he did not have any fear of a repetition of the assaults on ballot-boxes with hatchets or a renewal of, laiiy-sueet lorceries to cuaujjt? iao expressed will of the people. The majorities for the Re publican candidates would he so large that recounts and forgeries would be of no avail in attempts to overturn them. J In the balloting for tbe nomination of clerk a spirited but amicable contest was had. Wm. M orse, Daniel XV. Knefier, John W. Bowlus, Frank Ripley and Georse A. Taffe were uamed for the place. On the first ballot the delegates were greatly divided, each candidate getting votes from nearly every ward. In this balloting only four wards ea6t solid votes. Morse received that of the First, Ripley the Ninth, Bowlus the Eleventh, - Knefier the Twelfth and Taffe the Eighteenth. The ballot resulted: Morse. 35: Knefler, 30; Bowlus, 105; Ripley, 75. and Taffe, 55. Before tbe chanc ing erf votes began at the end of the second ballot, Bowlus bad enough to nominate him, 157, to 81 for Ripley, but tbe changes gave Bowlus finally 221, Kipley 44, ratio 18, and Morse 17. Mr. Bowlus was declared tbe nominee, and be met witb an entbnsiastic reception as be responded briefly in returning his thanks. He is a young lawyer and onee served as a deputy prose cuting attorney. The conventioned then adjourned. CITY MATTERS IN GENERAL. In Brief. There were forty births and thirty-eight death s during last week.

The music festival committee bas collected a rufficient number of bills to warrant the belief that it will require an assessment of 50 per cent, of the guarantee. The receipts were only a littlo over 3.500, while the guarantee will double that amount. The difficulty in securing reduced fare on the railroads had much to do with the falling off in receipts. DECISION IN THE WATCH CASE. The watch case before 'squire Feibleman, which has been attracting so much attention, has been decided in favor of Charles Filler, the dealer who sold it to John M. Connelly, the conductor. Tbe justice held that if the watch did not keep good time it was because it had been tampered with after the purchase was made. Connelly wanted $100 on the warranty.
