Baildinir Trades CouncilWill Probably Help the Carpenters. The building trades council met last night to decide what action to take relative to the carpenters' strike. The decision of the council will be made known to a mass meeting of the carpenters this morning. The carpenters have assurances that the building trades will lend their support in demanding eight hours and 30 cents an hour for the carpenters. The men are still Arm. and show that many more union men have stopped work. Contractors are continuing to come to headauartera to sijrn the schedule.

Columbia Lincoln League Fairly Outdoes Itself. Fully fifteen hundred people presented themselves at Columbia Hall, at the corner of Delaware and McCarty streets, last night, where the Columbia Lincoln League Club gave a free entertainment. The hall would not accommodate all those who wanted to get Inside. Two years ago it would have been almost Impossible to get a corporal's guard to attend a Republican meeting In the same locality. P. J. Kelleher, president of the club, presided, and made an address on the subject of club organization. He made an urgent appeal to those Democrats who saw the deplorable state of affairs under their party management to Join the cause of good government, for which the Republican party .has always stood. He also spoke of the duty of American citizens. The hall was handsomely decorated with flags and bunting, together with pictures of Washington, Lincoln, Clrant, Sherman, Harrison and McKlnley. The literary and musical numbers were received with great enthusiasm and encores were in order. Those recitations which had a political bearing were well taken and well received. The Columbia Lincoln League now has a membership of over five hundred and Is still Increasing. IlIKTll OF A NEW 1'AUTV. Eeferendum System to Be the Basis Meeting To-Niffht. There will be a meeting this evening a the Criminal Court room to form a new party based upon the principle of the Initiative and referendum. Sumner Hose. D. F. Kennedy and others will speak. This referendum system, which Is a legislative form of government in vogue In Swltzer land for many years, has gained consider able attention recently from students of political economy. Dy it laws are enacted directly by the people, the legislature sitting as a quasi Judicial body to act upon and prepare the measures lofore they are submitted to the people. I'rxm the petition of a certain number of citizens a proposed law Is submitted to the Legislature, and after being put in proper shape by that body Is submitted to a direct vote of the people. It Is claimed that this is the closest approach to a genuine democratic form of government now in existence, and that it does away with all the evils of power delegated to legislative bodies. The supporters of the system claim that where the system is in vogue the tendency of the people is towards conservatism and not towards any anarchistic ideas as might be presupposed. It is not known that a large crowd will be attracted to the meeting to-night. HE AMENDS HIS OFFER. Mr. Gibson Willing: to Give the Commissioners tho Courthouse Fence. Louis Gibson, the architect, who wants to cut down the courthouse yard for $11,(XK), saw the commissioners again yesterday. Mr. Gibson amended his proposition, which leaves it optional with the i ommisisoners as to whether or not they desire to donate the stone wall to the contractor. lie will give the commissioners the privilege of removing the wall at their own expense. Considerable influence1 was brought to bear on the county guardians yesterday by citizens who think that the courthouse yard should be lowered. Among the most importunate of these callers was Jacob Dunn. Mr. Dunn wanted to know on whose authority the commissioners rated the value cf the old fence at $15.0) ). and he thought that some sort of a contract ought to be made 'right away. He thinks that the county building ought to be speedily relieved of its ungainly surroundings. DU. YOUNG'S ACCOUNTS. Commissioners I)o Not Understand the Coroner's Attitude. Dr. Young has about decided that he will not compromise with the county on his till for reforming a number of postmortems at the direction of the coroner. A few days ago he agreed to take Vj2 and square accounts with the commissioners, tut yesterday he stated that he was not sure about it.

MR. BUTLER'S POINTS

He Makes a Strong Argument in the Street-Car Litigation. Reasons Why the City's Casa Should Not Bo Transferred to the Federal Court Other Courts. Argument on the motion to transfer the suit of the City of Indianapolis vs. the Citizens' Street-railroad Company to the United States Court was begun in the Circuit Court yesterday afternoon. The suit, as filed by the city a few week3 ago. claimed possession of the streets of the city, and asked for an injunction against the Citizens company. The attorneys for the defendant filed a motion for the removal of the ease to tho federal court on the grounds that the case involved questions that come under the Jurisdiction of that court only. City Attorney Scott and John 51. liutler appeared in behalf of the city. The Citizens' company was represented by V. 11. H. Miller. Mr. Miller consented to allow Mr. Butler the opening argument, which consumed the greater part of the afternoon. ' It is said by the friends of Mr. liutler that he never made a clearer or more logical argument. He called the attention of tho court to a number of fine legal points and set out two specific causes why the case should remain In the Circuit Court. He held that the federal question raised coul l not be made an Issue of the case, because both parties claim rights under the same ordinance, whereas In order to raise a question under the provisions of the Constitution of the United States prohibiting States from passing any law which would Injure the obligations of a contract it is necessary that one party to the suit should claim rights under a contract with the State or tho municipality, and that the other party should claim rights under a subse quent law or ordinance which is claimed to impair the obligations of a contract. For a further claim that the application for removal should not be considered Mr. Butler held that under the United States removal act of 1&S7, as construed by the Supreme Court of tho United States, no case can be removed from the State court to the United States Court except one over which the United States Circuit Court would have had jurisdiction If originally brought therein. This construction makes the right of removal depend wholly upon the facts stated in the complaint The complaint in this cas? does not state facts raiding a federal question, and the United State federal court would not have had jurisdiction of the suit had it beer brought originally therein, hence It Is not removable. The argument will be continued to-day. TO THE FEDKUAL COIHT. A Salt ARnlnnt Receiver Hnvrklns Transferred from Circuit Court. Judge "Winters yesterday removed the suit of Thomas A. Jeffreys vs. Edward Hawkins, receiver, from the Superior to the United States Court. Jeffreys deposited a draft in the Indianapolis National Bank on the date of the suspension of the Institution, and brought suit to recover the amount from the receiver. The latter filed a petition for the removal of the case to the federal court, alleging that It should be tried where the trust is being administered. The plaintiff objected, claiming that the trust is not being administered, and that he had no more jurisdiction over the case than the judge of any State court. The plea was set up that the trust was being administered by the Controller of the Currency, and Judge Winters held that the officers of the government in charge of a Unk can be proceeded against only in the United States Court, where the litigation growing out of a trust must bo determined. DISGUSTED THE COUIIT. Judge Stulitia Did .ot Ilelieve llentty's AYIlne Wn Telling the Truth. There was a bit of excitement to break the usual monotony of the proceedings In Police Court yesterday morning when the cases against William Beatty and Thomas Rose, his bartender, for selling liquor on Sunday were called. Ileatty is the proprietor of the saloon at the corner of Shelby and Beecher streets known as the "Shelby House." His arrest was made upon an affidavit sworn to by patrolman Cienar, who disguised himself as a tramp and was admitted to Beatty's saloon and was sold a glass of been Beatty agreed to plead guilty to the sale by his bartender, but found eight new affidavits against him. The cases were called for trial, and Fred Frost was .the first witness called for the State. He was admonished by Judge Stubbs to tell the truth, and the court took occasion to remark that witnesses frequently committed perjury and laid themselves liable to fourteen years imprisonment for the sake of shielding from punishment a friend charged with a misdemeanor. Fro3t could not remember whether he had bought liquor in the saloon last Sunday or not. He had a very peculiar memory, and explained that it was bad since he had been hurt upon the head. James Warrenburg was the next witness called. He remembered having seen Rose sell a glass of beer to a 'tramp, but did not remember anything else that occurred In the saloon on that Sunday. His testimony was interrupted by Judge Stubbs. "This must stop " said Judge Stubbs. "I don't think I should sit here and hear witnesses perjure themselves. The defendant is discharged I don't believe Frost told the truth." He ordered the witnesses from the room and the cases against Beatty were dismissed. I1K5 FOUR SIDEWALK CASE. Mr. Scott DwcIIm on the IoInt Which J ii dure Hrown Accepted. The argument for a new trial in the Big Four sidewalk case before Judge Brown was begun and completed yesterday, City Attorney Scott appearing for the city and Judge B. K. Elliott for the railroad company. 3Ir. Scott insisted that the court should not give the word "highway" such a broad construction as to include municipal streets. Mr. Scott's argument was largely on this point on account of the tenor Of Judge Brown's recent decision. Numerous citations were made and he maintained that the Legislature clearly gave the citypower to regulate its own streets. Mr. Scott told the court that It was a rule of statutory construction that statutes should not be construed so as to lead to absurdity. Judge Klliott. in his argument, contended that the Legislature intended to include every highway in the State in that section on which the former decision was based. Judge Brown stated during the afternoon that he did not propose to listen to argument in any way. as his decision in the matter had been challenged. I HON CLAD I. AW. Judge Cost Acquits n Dive Keeper Who Tried to Ilraln u Pollccmnri. John Walters, proprietor of a saloon on West Washington street, was before Judge Cox yesterday on the charge of assault and battery, the case having been appealed from the Police Court. Walters made a vicious attack upon patrolman Keirns. Dilts and Wilson Kome time ago while the oillcers were in his saloon. The police scented a crap game, or believed they did. and invaded the privacy of the billiard room, where Walters was found conversing with two or three loungers. He abused the police -with th foulest of epithets nnl struck at patrolman Keirns with a billiard cue. Patrolman Wilson threw up his arm and received the blow Intended for Keirns. It was on this technical point that Judge Cox discharged the prisoner. He refused tallow the police to testify to the abusive language used and acquitted the prisoner purely on an error in the warrant, which charged him with assault and battery on patrolman Keirns. The court claimed that !. could not act otherwise in the premises. Walters will be tried on Monday on the charge jf keeping a gambling house. H. F. Ifolloran was fined and costs for selling liquor after 11 o'clock. Holloran owns a place on South Wes: tdreet. and sold over in full view of a number of patrolmen. He appealed from the decision of Police Judge Stubbs. Mattle Wells, charged with assaulting Deputy Marshal Hughes, of West Indianapolis, waa brought Into

court, and pleaded guilty. She was f.ned U and costs.

Kopelke Xew Ilrief. Attorney Kopelke, of Crown Point, who Is making tho f?e and salary fight for Recorder John Krost, of Lake county, filed a supplemental brief in the Supreme Court yesterdar. In the case of the State on the relation of McCoy against Krost. He won his case in the Lake Circuit Court, and the State appealed it. The litigation has been piven considerable attention in these columns In the past few weeks. Yesterday's brief was inspired by a perusal by Mr. Kopelke of that of Blaekledge & Thornton, attorneys for the State in this case, which was' filed a short time ago. In concluding this supplemental brief the attorney says: "Counsel say, 'If this judgment is afllrmed, then very imiortant parts of the fee and salary law of 1S01 will be overturned, and the fruition of years of struggle between the office-holding' class and the electorate of the State will be swept away.' I do not believe that this court is likely to be influenced in Its Judgment a judgment that will be recorded in the judicial annals of the State, that will have to bear th scrutiny of the legal profession In this and all the other States by 'argument' like this, which might possibly be pardonable when addressed to a jury of some backwoods county. This court has no part in any 'struggle between the officeholders and the people. If there is any such, let it be fought out in another arena. The people are probably competent to take care of themselves. Let the Judgment of this court be right upon the law; let it be respectable and respected. We want no more tolitlcal Judgments than what we nave naa In this State. Thank God. they are few; but what few there are have been repudiated by the people of this State and by the courts of this country. The Interests of the people are best served by maintaining their Constitution intact and inviolate. If this act complies with the Constitution, let it stand; if it clashes with it, let It fall to pieces." Three-Cornered Inurnnce Contest. Yesterday, in Room 1, Superior Court, Judge Winters heard the argument on demurrers and answers In the insurance litigation of Albertl C. Metcalf against the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Honor. Metcalf bought an Insurance policy for J2.000 of the husband of Elizabeth Nye, who is also setting up a claim for the amount. The Supreme Ixdsre is contesting the payment of the policy on the grounds that when Nye secured a membership in the order he concealed his age and represented himself to e forty-nine years old. when in truth he was fifty-live. It Is held by the defendant that he had passed the age when he could become a beneficiary. The case will come to trial next Tuesday. A Theatrical Hoard IU11. Landlord Myers, of the Hotel English, Is endeavoring to collect a hundred-dollar board bill alleged to be due him from the Lawrence Hanley theatrical company. Henry Myers, the erstwhile manager of the "Player," Is defendant to the suit, which was brought in Room 2. Superior Court, on an appeal from Justice Johnston. While performing the "Player" In this city, a few months ag, a number of Hanley's company lived at the Hotel English, and, as it appears, left with the landlord the impression that Manager Myers would settle the bills. The latter alleges that he retired from the management a day or two prior to the closing of the engagement, and hence should not be hold responsible for debts contracted by the company. The JuilKinent Stundn. The Appellate Court yesterday overruled the Panhandle railroad's petition for a rehearing in the damage suit of Wright W. Champion, who was a switchman in that company's employ In the Indianapolis yards. Champion had a hand mashed in making a coupling, and charged negligence on the part of a freight brakeman. The Marion Superior Court gave him damages, the Appellate Court affirmed the decision on appeal, and yesterday refused to grant a further hearing-. New Trial for n Convict. Frank Shoecraft, who was sent to the penitentiary from Henry county for two years, having been convicted of stealing: a silver watch valued at 510 from a man named Craig at New Castle, wa3 granted a new trial by the Supreme Court yesterday. The Court reversed the Henry Circuit's action in refusing a new trial, and said that certain evidence was admitted over the defendant's objection that had no place in the case. Suit Against (he Coffins. The First National Bank, of Greencastle, began an action yesterday against Percival B. Coffin, Francis A. Coffin and John Roberts to collect the sum of $3,000, the amount of a note drawn by Percival B. Coffin, and Indorsed by Francis A. Coffin and John Roberts.

PROSPEROUS CONDITIONS REPORTED State Secretary Stacy's report of the various conditions of associations throughout the State showed that every one had pulled through the hard winter without any serious difficulty. There Is a marked financial progress in five or six of the city associations during the past sixty days. The railroad work is in quite a healthy condition, and throughout all the cuts In wages and expenses by the railroad companies during the past year not a single Young Men's Christian Association appropriation ha3 been reduced a cent. All four of Indiana's railway associations were represented atJ the international conference of that branch of the work at New York city last week. J. J. Elder, formerly of Indianapolis, who has been absent for some time on a trip to Europe, was appointed office secretary of the State committee and Ralph D. Moore was elected to fill a vacancy on that committee. Judge D. P. Baldwin, of Logansport; W. A. Kling, secretary of the Kvansville association, and E. E. Stacy, State secretary, were chosen delegates to the world's conference of Young Men's Christian Associations to b held at London, England, next June. In connection with this conference will be celebrated the first semi-centennial Jubilee, the most important event in Young Men's Christian Association history, to which delegates for America will be appointed by the international committee at New York city. The matter of observing this jubilee day was taken up and arrangements for celebrating it discussed. Sunday, June 6, i the day for the celebration, and it will be generally observed by all the State associations. Arrangements for the next estate convention, which is to be held in November, a few days after the State celebration, were talked over. Invitations from various points, enlarging on their claims and advantages for the convention were read, and, while the matter was not decided, Terre Haute seemed to have the call for the affair. Its leading opponents are South Rend, Columbus and Franklin College. Verllng W. Helm, of DePauw University, was reappointed college deiortatlon man of the State committee for the coming year. His work was highly commended by the executive committee.

C. II. Harris, whoso address is No. 1,623 Second Avenue, Rock Island, HL The following extract from a letter written by Mr. Harris explains the mar. Telous change In his personal appearance. He writes : l5r. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery saved my life and has made me a man. My home physician says I am good for forty years yet. You will remember that I was Just between life and death, and all of my friends were sure it was a caso of death. until I commenced taking a second bottle or Golden Medical Disoovery,, when I became able, to sit up and tho cough was very much better, and the bleeding from my lungs stopped, and before I had taken six bottles of the 4 Golden Medical Discovery' my cough ceased and I was a new man and ready for business. I now feel that it is a duty that I owe to my fellow-men to recommend to them tho Golden Medical Discovery 1 which saved my life when doctors and all other medicines failed to do me any good. I send to you with this letter two of my photographs ; one taken a few weeks before I was taken down sick in bed, and the other was taken after I was well." These two photographs are faithfully re-produced at the head of this art icle. Mr. Harris's experience in the uso of " Golden Medical Discovery" is not an exceptional one. Thousands of eminent people in all parts of tho world testify, in just as emphatic language, to its marvelous curative powers over all chronic bronchial, throat and lung diseases, chronic nasal catarrh, asthma, and kindred diseases. Eminent physicians prescribe "Golden Medical Discovery" when any of their dear ones' lives are imperilled by that dread disease, Consumption. Under such circumstances only the most reliable remedy would bo depended upon. Tho following letter is to the point. It is from an eminent physician of Stomps, Lafayette Co., Ark. lie says: 44 Consumption is hereditary in my wife's family : some have already died with tho disease. Mv wife has a sister, Mrs. E. A. Cleary, that was taken with consumption. Bho used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and, to tho surprise of her many friends, ehe cot well. My wife has also had hemorrhases from the lungs, and her sister in sisted on her using the 4 Golden Medical Dis inT tho wagon, seriously injured Frank, who Is a farmer, living near Plalnfleld. Frank was driving towards his home, the car striking the waxon in the rear. Frank was carried Into Dr. Carson's office and given attention by Drs. Tomlinson and Teachee. One of his shoulders was dislocated. WEATHKtt FORECAST. Warmer, rnrtly Cloudy nnd Light Local Shower. WASHINGTON, April 6.
