TO CHARGE BENT FOR POLES

Citj Controller Woollen Gets After the Telegraph and Telephone Corporations. They Owe Two Dollars Ver Tola for EleTen Years Back-Dmer Null Reprimanded No Answer on the Franchis3 Yet Controller Woollen Las In contemplation an ordinance requiring the telephone and telegraph companies to pay a rental tax. His investigations yesterday, under the stimulus of a decision of the United States Supreme Court in the St. Louis case, declaring that municipalities bare a riaht to impose euch rental, disclosed that there is a city ordinance requiring the Western Union to pay $2 per year on each pole. This ordinance was resisted in the State courts by the company at the time of Its passage in 1822. and the company won. It was held that the telegraph company had & right to the streets under the old post-roads law. The case was then dropped, the city not' caring to take the matter to -the federal courts, and the ordinance has remained a dead letter. In one case only does the Western Union pay snch a tax. In its coarse as an octopos of all opposition it obtained possession of the Mutual Union company, which was operating under a special charter and had agreed to pay 8-on each pole. The contract requires the Western Union to pay this money, and for several yrars it has paid the tax on twentylive poles, or 50. This is all the Western Union pays to the city except on its tangible property in return for its valuable privileges. Now that another city has carried the case to the Supreme Court, and secured & favorable opinion. Controler Woollen thinks it Is right for Indianapolis to reap the benefits. He yesterday called Assistant City Attorney Hell into the case, and submitted to him the propriety of beginning action to recover the tax due as he thinks from 1SS2. This would bring into the city treasury a great many thousands of dollars. As to the telephone companies, the Controller believes a tax on the Doles and transmitters too, would be just. The Central Union Telephone Company, which operates the Bell telephone in this State, came into the city under an ordinance which was repealed live or six years ago as a result of the differences with citizens as to prices. Operating for awhile without municipal authority, the trouble was finally settled by the passing ot a resolution in the Counoil giving a temporary use of the streets, and that is all the contraet there is with the telephone company. Mr. Walliok, superintendent of the Western Union, was interviewed npon the subject. He had not before heard of the movement, and said: "It is absurd to talk abont taxing the company S'J for each pole. It would simply be taxing it out of th city. The company is almost taxed out of the State now, under the new tax law." It was learned from the conversation with Mr. Walhck that the county boards of review, taking, as he thinks, directions from the State tax commission, have raised the company's appraisement in each county to a rate proportionate with the State's doubled appraisement, and that It will be compelled to pay the increased tax. Noll Fined aud Reprimanded. The Board of Public Safety held a meeting last night to investigate the charges of intoxication while on duty against Samuel Null, driver of Engine Company No. 3. A number of witnesses testified to Null being intoxicated. Tho board found nlin guilty end fined him $10, the same to go to the firemen's pension fund. He watt also severely reprimanded by the board and plainly told that a reocourrenoo of the otfeme would be grounds for Immediate dismldaL Null had been ou the green carpet before for a similar offense, but the board allowed him to go with slight punishment, taking Into consideration that he had been In tho liowenJ.Ierriil lire, and that he had been complaining of Injuries retired, for which he had taken some gin and quinine, and that, with the two drinks he had taken with friends, put him under tho Influence ot liquor. The action of the board in the appointment of the above committee was instigated, the majority of the force declare, by some of the Democratic ward heeler who waut to make a party machine out of it. Jasper Clary and V. t Walker are said to be the figureheads tn the movement. It does not have the Indorse ment of the majority of the forcejand Captain Thomas, who was named as the head of the committee, said last night that he would Dot rerve on such a committee or have anything to do with it. lie said Commissioner Catternon had told him no action would be taken until ho could appear and be heard. lie had a memorial a trains t it ready to submit, bearIn? the names f three-fourths of the merchant poltce force. He was much annoyed that he not been allowed to appear and remonstrate. It is said Clary's readinecs to play the tool is caused by his ambition, which has always been disappointed, to be c.iptaln of the force. lie has been a perennial candidate, but Captain Thomas has been repeatedly elected. He has served as captain with a brief intermission for twenty-two years. The election will occur in May attain. It is not improbable that the Merchant police force, as such, will disband, and will reorganize with con staple's powers. McDonald Waiting for that Franchise. The Board of Publlo Works will probably give an answer lu regard to the petition otR.T, Mot Donald for a franchise for an electrio railway, to-dar.

Increased Number of Applicants for Every Possible Department Vacancy. Washington Loiter. It is said that the rush for new appoint ments is unprecedented, as, with the progress of true civil-service reform, the number of men to go grows smaller. Tho grabbers, having informed themselves on the subieot. know that no general turning out will follow the 4th of March, and so they lix their eflorts upon some place high enough to make it advisable for a Democrat to bo appointed and then they find out that hundreds have been before them. For a certain depnty com. luissionership more than a hundred men havo Yisited Washington siuce the election, each hoping to got it. It is hard for people who live iu Washington to understand the intense eagerness of men who might be expected to do better, for these minor places. Tho salaries aro small for while the government pays excessively for its low-grade work, salaries steadily decrease in proportion to the increased grade of the worlr, nntll as soon as a responsible position is reached, it ceases to pay enough to xnako it desirable, so the disinterested would say; for example, a messenger, at SfO a month, who goes on duty at 'J o'clock and leaves oft at 4, and who has nothing to do that can be called hard work, is certainly highly paid. His chief, though, who has a number of clerks under him and is responsiblo to a Cnbinot oiheer. is not hichly paid at S2.5C0 salary. Washington, it most be remembered, is no longer a cheap place to live. Although servants' wages ami some other items are far fronv being as generally expensive as in Boston or New York, the scale of living that can be maintained on 13,500 a. vcar here 11 a very plain one. It is almost impossible to save money In Washington. It is a very extravagant town, everybody in all circles of society, entertains. The man who comes to Washicston on a 2.500 salary, and was a person of local importance at hone, it is trco. finds himself a nobody here but he is surrounded by nobodies like himself, whose wivt 9 dress well, give teas, havo reception davit, and do in a less expensive way just what only the rich people in other cities do. IIh finds a contingent of his own people hero, no matter from what istato he is, nnd his salury, that seemed so imposing iu Podtink or Uoamopolis. barely keeps hint out of debt in Washington. Ho loses four years from his business or profession. H aud his family get infatuated with Washington, and I'odunk and Cosmopolianoem very small afterward and so they hang ou as long as they can.

"10 PER CENTS." ARE HAPPY

Gray's Appointment GivAsThemthelmpression that Tbey Possess tlie World. Each One Feels Eesponsibls for It More ApMm m m m. m pointments ey tne uovernor rrcBioi tlonists Disgusted and Gloomy. . EVE RT BODY DID XT. The Man IVho Didn't Secure Gray's Appointment I llnrd to find. Apparently the "10 per cents." are "the people" in Indiana. The best appointment that can possibly come to this State has fallen into the lap of Isaao Pusey Gray, and the coveted London consulship hns gone to Boston. lion. John Gilbert Shankhn isn't half as big a man as he was a couple of weeks ago, even if he is to be in the Foetoflico Department, and Mr. Morss. being out of sight in his sick bed at homo, seems, for the time at least, to be also out of mind at the White House. With all the State patronage In the hands of Governor Matthews and the choicest bit of federal patronage falling to their lot. the Gray followers appear to be distinctly "in it." It would be difficult to find any Democrat who did not secure Gray's appointment for him. Captain Allen fixed it up last December. Mnrdock and Dongherty did it when they were in New York a month ago. Taggart and Wilson made it a sure thing when they were East just before inauguration. The news of Gray Vappointment to the mission at Mexico appears to have fallen npon the Statehouse with unusual complacency. There was great joy all over the big edifice yesterday afternoon over the announcement of the appointment, and it was difficult to find one of Mr. Gray's brethren who hadn't planned the little surprise several months ago. Governor Matthews was particularly well satisfied. The Governor did something toward landing this plum into Isaac's hands, and naturally experienced both a lricndiy and professional pride when he was told that the report was anthentio. The chief executive was breathing an atmosphere of peace, free from tho presence of exasperating callers, when he was asked for his views of the latest award. With a smile that denoted his honest gratification, he replied: "It is the most delightful piece of news I have heard for some time. 1 am truly glad the ex-Governor has maae a sure thing of it, although the announcement is no particular surprise to me. I have been expecting :t daily. The fact is Mr. Gray has secured just what he wanted, and could not have boon better pleased. Had he been offered a Cabinet position I am sure he wonld have promptly declined it, bcoanse he recognized tho fact that it is impossiblo to make a dollar out of the salary paid Cabinet officers. His pay now will amonnt to something over $17,000 a year, and ho can save it Then there is the charming surroundings of the place to which he goes." The Governor indulged in a sly wink, and continued: "lie will acclimate himself to the tropics in a wonderfully short time) learn tho Hpanish walk and how to emoko the dainty cigarette, and all that sort of thing, you know. The tree has certainly showered its choicest fruit on our friend Governor Gray." Capt. W. 1L Myers was in eostasy, and tboueht there couldn't have been a more admirable gift bestowed npon the gentle Isaac. "And the best part of the whole business is that the smile of the dreamy Senorita is always there. Our isaao must surely enjoy life down there where the soft tongue of the dark-skinned Mexican is as music to the ear of the traveler," and the Captain laughed immoderately. Attorney-general Green Smith had lighted a twenty-cent cigar, and was apparently as well pleated with the appointment us he is with himself. He caid: 'Tin mighty glad Gray got that plum. I've known him for twenty-five years, aud there isn't a more honest man in the titato. If there is a man in the country more deserving of that place I would like to know him. Cleveland did a magnificent pleoe of business when he sent Isaac l Gray to Mexico." Myron W. King thoutrht that the appointment of Gray was good politics and just the thing. No man in Indiana has done more for the party, be thought, than Gray. So he deserved his reward. Auditor of State Henderson was too busy to talk much of the news, but believed the appointment was a most satisfactory one to every Democrat in the State. Supreme Clerk Sweeney felt very good over the matter, and remarked: "There is nothing too good for Gray." Sidney li. Moon was dodging out of the Governor's oilioe, but halted long enough to express himself. Mr. Moon had a worn sort of a glance in bis eye, having iust returned from the Nation's capital, where he witnessed the crowning of Cleveland. He did not object to talking, and whispered confidentially: "Oh. yes; I am iust back from Washington. Saw it all, and called upon the President You wouldn't believe it, but I had a half hour's private talk with Grover aud found him docile. 1 remarked to him that I was not looking for an office, and his reDly was a slap on the back and 'I'm glad to see you, old man.' Mr. Cleveland and myself enjoyed a long talk about Isaao P.' Gray before I left, and I found that I stood in moderately well." Mr. Moon's visit to the White House, presumably, fixed the Mexican appointment. GOVERNOR'S APPOINTMENTS. Trustees for Fort Wayne School and Police Commisionfft ef 3Iuncle nnd Lognnsport. Governor Matthews welcomed thecloomy weather yesterday. It gave him a respite for a few hours from the incessant importunities of a string of office hunters who refuse to vacate ontil they have been granted a private audience with his Excellency. A sanctified calm pervaded the executive quarters all day yesterday, and the absence of the usual throng may be attributed to both the humid state of the atmosphere and a declaration made by the Governor on Monday that he would appoint no more police commissioners until the factional element of each city had settled their arguments as to candidates. The lirst appointments of the week were made yesterday mornini?. two trustees being named for the School for Feeble-minded Youth. They were Mr. 12. A. K. Hackett and Mrs. Lass, of Fort Wayne. Yesterday afternoon the city of Muncie was mado happy by the announcement of three Dolico commissioners, as follows: A. W. Chapman, Republican, term of three years; Vernon Davis. Democrat, term one year; Willi a in Hitchcock, Democrat, term two y tars. Lateyesterday evening Logansport s commissioners received their official appointments. They are George W. Funk. Kepublican; Charles Woll. Democrat, aud John Sheenn, Democrat The cities of Elwood. Kokomo and Marion will be compelled to submit a new census proving their population before their commissioners can be appointed, as the last enumeration of citizens falls far short of the required number of people necessary to secure a metropolitan police system. MOIIIBITIONISTS IN MOURNING. They Find Their Friends, the Democrats, Very Hard Masters When In Power. A few members of the Prohibition State central committe met at the English Hotel, yesterday afternoon, to confer about keeping alive their organization during the next two years. It was not a very exhilarating ah air. The Prohibitionists find themselves in the peculiar situation of the old woman who burned her house down to get rid of a few mice in the garrot. They aro firm in the belief that they are the people who have pulled the Kepublican partv from the pedestal of power, and they are just bediming to realize that, in 00 doing, they have given the saloon elf ment full sway. Their tuno was spent yesterday in denouncing ths Legislature lor making laws in the interest of the Liquor League, and for failing to give themselves and ttto Populists representation on tho election boards. They also authorized the secretary of the committee to arrange for a neries of prohibition lectures throughout tho State.

PUREST MS BEST. P0UNDS,20$. HAIVES,10.QUARTERS,S$. WILL NOT ADVANCE WAGES Demands of Chicago Switchmen Refused bj the Managers of All Roads. Officials of the Thirty Lines Cepterins In the City a Unit in Their Determination to Fight a Strike if One fs Ordered. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Chicago. March 9. Without a dissenting vote the general managers of the railroads entering Chicago determined at their meeting this afternoon to refute any demands of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association, An answer was sent to. the switchmen by the general managers of the thirty-two roadscentering in Chicago declining to grant any increase over the present schedule of rates, and inclosing the following resolution, which was passed unanimously at the meeting: Itesolved, That this association has carefully examined the schedule of wages paid by the Chicago roads to foremen and helpers in switching service, and that it linds that the scale of wages paid on the Chicago lines Is practically uniform, and we find that the switchmen of Chicaco and vicinity are now paid tho highest rate ever paid for a similar service, and higher than is paid in many localities. Itesolved, further. That the revenue from freight and passenger trailio has constantly decreased and the cost of tho service has constantly Increased to the extent that no advance in wages can be granted, and that no change can be made from the present schedules of rates affecting the compensation of men engaged in this service. This answer was sent to the officers of tho switchmen's association this afternoon, and ends the trouble so far as the managers are concerned. Tho switohmen have not yet determined what course they will pursue, and officers of the association decline to discuss the situation. If they should decide to strike the fight against them would be a bitter one, as the general managers of the thirty-two roads have determined to aot as a unit and light the men as one road. A still more significant determination reaohed by the general managers is an agreement to discharge all union meu on their lines in case the roads should be oripDled by a strike of switchmen. This will apply to engineers, conductors. firemen and in faot oil branches of organized railroad labor. The general managers say they will not pay union men for doing nothing when their Idleness is enforced by strikers to whom they ure giving aid and encouragement. In theeventof a general dismissal of union men the vacancies are to be filled as rapidly as possible with nonunion men, the roads to act in concert in securing new men and to distribute them acoordiug to the needs of the individnal roads. Chief of Police McClaughrey was present at the general managers' meeting, and promised all aid in his power to enforce order in event of a strike. The switchmen demand that the rate of pay for day foremen be made 32 cents per hour; day helpers. 0 cents per hour; night foremen. 84 cents; night helpers, S3 cents, and that ten hours' work be guaranteed each crew, night or day. This is an advance of 5 cents per hour. Nonunion Men Quit la a Body. Special to the fnOisnspoUs Journal. Evaxsville, Ind., March 0. Evansville's four large stove foundries have had trouble with their union men, and by agreement all closed at one time, locking their employes out till they could reach an agreement which would settle their differences. Since then nonunion men, headed by a man named Ellis, of Louisville, were secured. The strikers' places were filled and the foundries resumed operation. To-day the nonunion men quit work In a body, expressed their sympathy for the union men. and have asked to be taken into tho union. This will be done. There Is no immediate solution to the situation. Hiring; Railway Men in the Eat. Baltimore, March 9. A. J. Robinson is hero, the agent of all railroads leading west from Chicago, among them being the Kock Island, the Chicago & Alton, the Illinois Central, the Chicago & Northwestern, and the Grand Rapids & Indiana.

Two trains are the sum total of the freight movement on tho Toledo, Ann Arbor & Michigan railroad to-day. The first was sent out at 9:30 this morning, and tho second reached here to-niht at 10:30.
