PETTIS, BASSETT & CO HOW IT OCCURRED. County Commissioners Free from Any Wrong in Regard to the Bragunier License. The appearanco of a license having been granted to Isaac M. Bragunier, of Acton, calls for an explanation. The indorsement which the petition bears conveys the impression that it was granted by the full board in opposition to wishes of citizens who desired to be beard. It has never been the object of tho commissioners to decline to give a remonstrance all consideration it demands, and permit tho. signers thereto to state fully and explicitly their caeo. Many applications, though coiuiug to the board when no objections to their being granted has been liled or raided, are signed by some one or tho other of tho commissioners. In this instance. Commissioner Thompson, who represents more closely than his colleagues the people of Acton, promised those who objected to a license, being granted to Nrapunier that they should be heard. This was before any petition was filed by the saloon-keeper. The citizens knew he would ask for a license and expressed a wish to be heard before definite action was taken. It was therefore n surprise to Commissioners Thompson and Koveal when, on Saturday last, they discovered the petition of Bragunier among those that have been favorably acted unon. It bore the indorsement. "Granted June 4, 18fcU. Jacob A. Kmrich." That was the day upon which it was filed. Both Commissioner Thompson and his colloigue. Keveal, started an inquiry that shows tho petition to have been hied and granted without their knowledge or consent, either direct or implied. These gentlemen wero in readiness to give the people of Acton every opportunity to make their complaint and submit their evidence as to why a license should not bo given Bragunier. They wero annoyed when they learned what had been done, and took the only course open toward rectifying the mistake, that of restoring the petition to the place it occupied on filing before any indorsement or expressed action had been made thereon. The petition dors not carry with it anything tosnggest that Commissioner Keveal acted with Commissioner Kmrich in this matter. On the contrary, it shows, as doe the manner of disposing of petitions on which no objections are entered, that Commissioner lie veal was not even aware of its having been tiled. Anything in connection with this matter that would involve a charge of malfeasance, in oftice. or any other act not consistent with his duty as a commissioner, is unwarranted. Nor 1 it to bo supposed that Commissioner Kmrich had any thought -that ho was doing more than following a custom in dealing with licenses. That gentleman bad no knowledge of tho desire of the citizens to object to the Bragunier license. It was a matterthatCommissionersThompson and Keveal no doubt had forgotten for th time bing, to bo recalled when the petition itself appeared and tho citizens Tho fact appears to be one of imposition upon the commissioner hi' one of their fellows who assuruca to be un attorney, but is nothing more than a broker iu saloon licenses. ffuiuuxvjut at Wa L.

CAUSE OF KINNEY'S DEATH

Evidenco Indicating That He was Killed by Some One in the Johnson Block. 3Irs. Hall Cannot Be Found Direct Testimony from Others, in Which Shooting and Men Running from the Building Figure. The mystery surrounding the death of Thomas Kinney is still unsolved, althongh the deputy coroner and detectives continued their investigations yesterday. Last night they were frank to say that they knew nothing more about the case than when they began work on it. Mrs. Carrie Hall, tho woman whom Kinney is supposed to havo visited when he fell or was thrown from the window, could not bo found by the coroner's constable. She left her room in the Johnson Block on Tuesday morning, carrying a bundle of clothes, ami went to the homo of her brother-in-law, Robert Burns. When the constable called at Mr. Bums's yesterday he was informed that the woman had gone to the northern part of the city. The officer could get no further trace of her. At 3 o'clock in tho afternoon Deputy Coroner Ridpath and a Journal reporter went to the Johnson Block, and wero informed by the wife of the janitor that Mrs. Hall waa in her room. Knocks on tho door brought no rt'ply, and then, after securing the assistance of patrolman Kellemeyer tho door was unlocked. No one was there, but tho front windows were raised, indicating that some one had been in the room during tho day. Dr. Kid path made a thorough investigation of tho two rooms and tho window in the hall, from which the man undoubtedly felL Nothing was found to indicate that a fight had occurred there. Lying on the lloor in the kitchen were two hatchets, but neither of them bore Any marks showing that they had been U3cd in striking a fatal blow. About the center of tho west wall in the front room thero is a hole in the plastering which, the deputy coroner thinks, miizht have been made by a bullet. Tho hole extended throughthe plastering tothe brick walL The blood soots on the windowsill in the hall were still verv plain. "It's a queer case," retnarked Dr. Ridpath when ho had finished his examination, "amd it is worth while to go to the bottom of it." The failure of the constable to lind Mrs. Hall assisted in arousing tho suspicious of tho deputy coroner, and lato in the evening he Het a watch over tho Johnson Block, with instructions that in case Mrs. Hall came home she bo detained as a witness. The deputy coroner began the taking of testimony yesterday, Several witnesses wero examined, but their evidence only tended to deepen the mystery. Tho firt person examined was Mrs. Mary "Kinney, tho wife of tho dead man. She made the surprising statement that sho saw her husband aud . another man in company with a woman, in a buggy, at Hammond's saloon, corner Blako and North streets, Monday night at 11:45 o'clock. The three, sho says. Ave re intoxicated. The statement could hardly be credited, from the fact that it was only a minute or two before l'J o'clock when Kinney's body was found on tho sidewalk. The opinion of those who heard tho evidence Ava that Mrs. Kinney must havo becu mistaken fs tothe time. Charles Schwab told his story in a straightforAvard manner. He said that about C:25 r. M Monday evening, ho met Kinney at tho corner of Blake and Washington streets. Kinney was in a buggy, and at his request witness got in Avith him. They . first droA-e to Kinney's sister's and then to his aunt's. After they had made the two calls, Kinuey said ho believed he would take the horse and buggy back to the South-side stable, where he had hired it. He changed his mind immediately, however, and drovo to East Washington street to see some friends. "Wo stopped at tho Johnson Block," said Mr. Schwab. I didn't know tho person ho wanted to see, but he Avent upstairs, and I followed him. 1 stood in tho hall. Some woman opened the door, and Kinney Avent in, as I did after him. The Avoman seemed very nervous. She kept going to tho Avindowand looking out on Washington street. 1 saw it was noplaco forme, and said, 'Let's get out of this.' We then went and put the horse and bugsry up, and as Ave passed Maryland street Kinney got a glass of beer. .We then Avent to the corner of California and West streets. I asked him to go home with me and stay all night, but ho said he had promised tho woman in the Johnson Block to come back and would do so." Mr. Schwab thought it was about 0 o'clock at night Avheu ho loft Kinney. A. C. Bramlett, Avho boards at No. 81 South Illinois street, au important witness, stated that Avhile he was on East Washington street Monday night he heard two shots fired on the upper floor of the Johnson Block. He ran a few doors west to see if heconld seo any one. Ho then went back to call P. A. Goben. who had been with him, and the two Avalked up to Court street and then back. Just as they reached tho corner of East and Washington streets a man fell from the Johnson Block window. They ran to tho man aud found ho was still breathing. Several witnesses who saw Kinney Monday afternoon and evening wero examined, but their testimony did not throw any light on the case. P. A. Goben says that about 11 o'clock ho saAv Kinney and two women standing in the hallway "to tho Johnson Block. He heard no shots fired. To-dav the coroner Avill take tho testimony of the people living in the block, and it promises to be important. Mrs. Philip Hoan. Avho li-cs on tho second lloor, says that she heard (shots on her lloor, and afterAvards heard two men running through tho hall. Mrs. Swank, Avho lives in the block ailjoining, is positive that she heard two shots tired between 11 and 12 o'clock, and looking out of the Avindow, saAv t wo men running away. Several other persons Avill testify that they also heard shots. While it is known that Kinney Avas not shot, the establishment of the fact that a pistol was fired is important in that it shows that a fight occurred there. The nature of tho fracture on the rear portion of Kinney's skull leads tho deputy coroner to belieAe that it could have been made with the blunt end of a .hatchet or hammer. Ho thinks that tho Avound could not have been received in falling from tho window. It is tho opinion of tho police that Kinney was murdered, though a few gtill maintain that he had vs audered up into the buildinsr, and failing to get into the room of tho Hall woman, sat down in tho window from which ho fell. An important witness was fonnd last night. She is a girl by tho name of Martindale, who lives iu the eastern part of the citj She made a statement to Constable Maer and patrolman Weirick to tho etlect that she was at tho room of the Hall woman Monday night until 10:G0 o'clock. Sho corroborates tho statement of Mr. Schwab that ho and Kinney were at the room early in the oveuing. She then says that Kinney came back about 10 o'clock or after, and that Kinney and Mrs. Hall had a quarrel. When the quarrel began sho was frightened and left for home. Continuing, she said that Mrs. Hall called on her yesterday and told her that if sho told any one tha't Kinney had been in her rooms on the evening ho met his death she would mako trouble for her. Miss Martindale was summoned to appear before the coroner, and her testimouy will bo taken this morning. The Industrial Parade. The industrial parade committee, whoso work it is hoped will be successfully accomplished on the 4th of July, is urging the manufacturers and business men to add to the interest of the occasion. Secretary Bodenmiller yesterday sent to them a circular inviting them to join thoworkingmenin making the parade representative of every industrial interest in tho city. It may bo that some Avill fail to get circulars, but they must understand that the invitation has no limitation. Several merchants and manufacturers have already expressed a purpose of aiding the movement. Tho Ileautlful KIriness. There was a largo audience at English's Opera-house last night to enjoy the delights of the Kinncas. The Egyptian, Japanese, Engli&h Hay-polo, tambourine, cymbal.

Spanish, Swedish, North German, moon and Indian Avar dances Avero given. and Miss Baggs sang a German ballad.

A party of twenty came from Madison, yesterday, to Avitness tho b antiful scenes, and to-night a party of forty is expected from Terre Hante, coming over in W. K. McKeen's private car. Mrs. Enrique Aliller, to-night, will be tho American songstress, and will sing the "Starspangled Banner," in which the chorus and ail the dancers will join. Tho financial result is sure to be large.

Tho Republican Club Calls Upon the Prosecutor to Investigate a Matter. Nearly two hundred members of tho Republican club were present at tho meeting last night, when many Avere added to tho list. Reports submitted from all the wards show that organization is being effective in nearly every precinct in tho city. The committee on public good submitted the folloAVi"g: AVe teg leave to report the following statement of facts, Avith tbe law pertinent thereto, and recommend that the same be referred to the Hon. James L. Mitchell, prosecuting attorney for the Nineteenth Judicial circuit, with the request that he do his full duty in tho premfscs without recard for any obligation, except his oath of ottlce. Tho register "of orders of tho County Commissioners Court shows tho following claim, allowed ou March 11, 1S$9: ""o. 1074, Isaac Kitig, advertising. postinirnotices of sale of lands and lota mortared to btate. etc, $0." It was the duty of the county auditor to pay for the services thus charged against tho county, the warrant for which was made out by the sheriff, or In his name, and was allowed by the Board of County Commissioners and paid by the county treasurer. As to the auditor's dut3 see Section 5i0l, Ind. R. i?., 1831, Avhich reads: ''The Auditor shall receive ouo per centum for the management of the permanent school fund of the county, held in trustor loaned, and no other compensation therefor.'

S., 1891, provides: Whoever, knowing the same to be false or fraudulent, makes out or presents for payment, or certifies as correct, etc., any claim, and av hoover, knowing the same to be false and fraudulent, receives payment of such claim, shall be imprisoned in the State's prison not more than fourteen years nor lees than two years, and fined not more than $ l.OOO nor less than 10." As to the liability of tlio county hoard for making this allowance, see Section 5700, Ind. K.

MEN 110 MANAGE TKAINS

Thcj Hold the Second Annual Meeting in tlio Interest of Their Association. Mayor Penny Heartily Welcomes the Delegates to the City Reports Promise a Fine Future for the Organization. Tho Train-dispatcher's Association of America began its second annual meeting at tho rooms of the Y. M. C. A. yesterday morning, Avith A. A. Zion, of this city, president, W. H. Coppage, of Chattanooga, Tenn., A-ice-presideut, and E. J. Peabod3 secretary. Thero wero 6ixty-livo members present, Avith a small outside attendance in the gallery. One of tho most notable persons in the meeting Avas A. A. Zion. a gentleman of commanding presence and pleasing address. Ho replied to the welcoming address of Major Denny, making an excellent impression upon all present, and being vigorously applauded. Another gentlemau Avho camo in for a share of attention Avas W. H. Coppage. vice-president, ono of tho most popular young members. He Avas earnestly applauded when ho appeared upon the platform. E. J. Peabody was ono Avho impressed all as a man of brain. W. R. Leflet, editor of the Railway Service Gazette, Toledo, O.. was also there, as was II. O. Pond, master of transportation of tho Columbus & Eastern railway. Next to Mr. Zion he is probably one of the most prominent and influential members of the organization. Col. Robert Woolsey, one pf the oldest and most competent railroad officials in tho country, also takes an active interest in the proceedings. Mayor Denny opened themeeting with an address of welcome, in which he said that it afforded him great pleasure to respond to tho invitation to offer a word of greeting to the members of the Train-dispatchers' Association of America. Of the many organizations that niet here from time to time, none are more welcoino than those of the railroad men. Indianapolis would amount to little, ho said, as a commercial point Avithout its railroads. Nearly every city of commercial importance in this country, and indeed in every other, has water transportation, but Iudianapolia is perhaps the most notablo exception. Depending as it does solely upon its railroads for intercourse Avith tho outside Avorld, it is natural that its people should feel deep interest in the men who control aud aro engaged in their service. Then, too, the city's population is made up largely of men engaged in the different departments of railroad business. They aro connected Avith almost every enterprise in the community, and no one who attempts to promote any large interest here is ever so careless or reckless as to overlook or ignore them. The Mayor said many other very pleasant things to tho association, which Avero received with much applause and general good fellowship. In conclusion he s:iid the lives of tho traAreliug public and tho property of the railroad companies and tho commercial Avorld are in tho hands of tho train-dispatchers. Hence, men of quick perception, sound judgment aud first-class business qualifications aro selected for tho positions. "Organizations composed of such men are always Avelcome to fndianapolis, and' I cheerfully extend to you the cordial greeting of our citizens. You meet for the , ... mrpose, among otuer tuings. or promoting larmony and fraternal feeling, to discuss he best methods for moving trains oy telegraphic omers ana to generally advance your special branch ol railway service. In these commendable purposes you have my best wishes for abundant success in your deliberations. My sincere wish is that you may haAe a very pleasant stay and profitable session while here, and that you may return to your homes with kind remembrances of our city and its people." President Zion, in reply, said ho desired to return heartfelt thanks for the welcome tendered the members of the association. He believed thero is not ono among the visitors who will not return to his labors Avith a feeling of gratitude toward Indianapolis and her respected Mayor. After a few other preliminaries a motion was mado and earned to call the roll of delegated, and to elect members of the association. The name of each member proposed for election, his place of residence, and name of road on which he is employed, Avith tho names of the men indorsing and recommending him. was read by the secretary. The balloting Avas done by moans of pass-boxes and marbles. This occupied the' rest of the morning hour. The association has been iu existence now for one year, and is getting on a practical and substantial basis. It Avas organized in Louisville a year ago, with a membership of 03. Its growth lias been rapid, aud its 180 delegates como from every State in tho Union, manv of the Territories, Canada and Mexico. It has an insurance department working on a solid basis, and an employment agency by Avhich positions are obtained for tho worthy memhers out of Avork. Thero is also a relief fund for tho aid of widows and orphans of deceased members. Yesterday 100 members were added to the roll, making in all 760 active men who are interested in the organization. The reports of tho secretary and treasurer show that during the past year the expenditures haA-e been S l.ftVUiO, with an income of $1,610.25. While the financial department is a little behind, it is expected that it will bo more than made gqod in tho present condition of tho association. A number of interesting papers will bo read during the meeting, Avhich Avill be discussed at length. In their proceedings will be interested, aside from the members, nearly 5,000 train-dispatchers iu the United States, and many hundred more in Mexico and Canada. Thus is guaranteed tothe association material for growth for many years to come. During the afternoon several papers and messages wero receded from absent members, among others a letter from Mr. Hobert, one of the editors of the Railway Age, on tho "General Advancement of tho Association and the Means of Accomplishing It." A night bcssiou was held, at which a few minor amendments to the constitution to facilitate the working of the association were made. The proceedings will be resumed this morning. Yardmasters' Benefit Association. Columbus, O., Juno 12.
