NOVEL DAMAGE SUITS CLAIMS AGAIXST STJICHT-CAU C03XTASY OS U.M'SUAL GIIOLXDS. Abraham Horner UJrcinl from a Car Uccnnsr III Trunfcfrr Ticket W'n ' Aot Properly Punched. A ruit of a novel character growing out cf the recent transfer system was filed against the Citizens' Street-railroad Company yesterday. The jdalniifT is Abrahim Horner, who is seventy years of agre Jid very weak on account of his years. On June 8 Horner boarded a Shelby-street car and after rytos his fair asked for a transfer ticket to the Nolle street line. In punching the ticket the conductor made a mistake. It is claimed, and punched it for h Blake street line Instead of Noble street. In his comp'uiint Ilorntr alleges that on account of his age he 13 unable t read without glasses and was compelled to rely ujon the accuracy of the conductor in correctly punching the transfer ticket, lie accepted it in good faith, believing it entitled him to transfer to the Noble street l!ne. When tie boarded the Noble street line, the conductor upon that line refused to accept the ticket for his passage and demanlc-d another fare. Horner says he explained to the conductor that the mistake was due to the negligence or carelesst?53 of the first conductor. The NobleBtrfet conductor persisted in his refusal to accept the ticket and stopped the car to eject Horner. The latter refused to leave the car when ordered to do so and the conductor seized him by the coat collar, and. Jerking him from a seat, attempted ;j0 drag him lrom the car. At this tlmcra lady pas.jner on th car interposed' and paid Horner's fare. He asks damages in the sum of for the humiliation to which was compelled to submit. Joseph Uristow asks Jl.OO in damages from the ptreet-car company on account of the abuse of a conductor. Brlatow resides on May hew street, which is situated wrst of West and north of Third street. On the nlKht of June 13 Driitow, with his wife and two children, had been attending a wedding cf relatives in West Indianapolis and returned to the city on the last car leaving that suburb. In payment of his fare he tendered the conductor a half dollar, which the conductor refused to accept, .-aying that It was counterfeit. Bristow alleges that the coin was genuine, and wa3 all the rnonev he had. The conductor demanded that Uristow pay his fare in other money or leave the car. When Bristow refused to do this the conductor called him a "d n fool." he says, and used other profane and abusive language. In his compljint Uristow alleges that the coin "was coined In l-vS. was older than said conductor and had evidently been around the world more." Upon Ilristow's refusal to pay his fare with other money the conductor stopped the car and turned off the lights. He ?iid the car was the last one to the city and would remain where it was all nlsht if Brlstow did not pay his fare In other money. After the car had been hM for twenty or thirty minutes Bristow, rather than inconvenience the other passengers', started to leave the car, when another passenger paid the fares of himself and family. He alleges that on account of the holding of the cur by the conductor he missed the last car on the Indiana -avenue line, to which he desired to transfer, and was compelled to accept a transfer to the North Illinois-street line and - walk a distance of a mile and a half to his home. TAX CASH LXDCIt ADVISG3IKXT. Jude Ilelnharil Will Ilemler a Decision Within Two AVeeks. Judge Relnhard heard the concluding argument in the Union railway tax case yesterday evening. He announced that he would give an opinion in the case within the next two weeks. Attorney Pickens opened the argument for the railroad in the morning. He was followed by Leon Bailey for the State, who at noon gave way to W. A. Ketcham, his cocounsel. A. C. Harris, who has conducted the examination of witnesses through the case, had the concluding speech. The State's attorneys, maintaining their position, Insisted that the tax commissioners had been guilty of no fraud in assessing the railroads; that they were sworn officers of the law, whose duty It was to examine the witnesses as to the value of the property, and it was presumed that they had done so. They contended that even If the assessment was excessive there was not sufficient reason for reversing the Judgment Attorney Harris, In making his argument, addressed hlmselfLrnuch of the time to the State's attorneys. In one instance he indulged In the following: "I ask. did the gentlemen on the other side of this case ever. In all their lives, see Fuch a spectacle In the great State of Indiana? Here is a State taking the property of a citizen against his will for taxation. The people of the State are told that no matter how many lawyers and witnesses may come, representing a road, supported by the trutn of honest men, the State Board of Tax Commissioners will pay no attention to euch testimony, but will assess such property as it pleases. Can anybody stand up tnd say that these men acted Impartially ? I know the gravity of the charges made against this board. I say that the proof in this case in 1S91 established that thl3 property was worth $2,uuo,0' and I say that the conduct of the board characterizes the act. This is not a common law court. It Is a court of conscience, ruled by the broad rule of justice, Shall this JtO.000 a year be taken from this company without redress? I assume that conscience says that right shall be done, though th? heavens fall." Mr. Harris held that the Union railway ami station were -vital necessities to th rublic; that they were as Important to the city of Indianapolis as Washington street. He contended that the contract entered Into between th railroad companies years ago was legalizd by the legislature and could not be broken. The Union railway, to his mind, was a part of the State interests. It could not be sold and could not be put to any other use than to serve the public as it now dees. He showed that it was a property that co?t but $2.00.mm); a property without Income and without selling value tecause it could not be disposed of, its contract being a part of the common law. in concluding his argument ilr. HarrLs said"I am reminded of the cry of the nov'ce at the bar, that if you find so and so yo:i will convict somebody of perjury. I had thought that my friend, who is a candidate for the most honorable oIHce in our profession, except the bench, was too old and too wie to make such an aopeal as thit It Is never mr.de except as the last resort of a man fleeing to escape what he feel3 to be dstrved justice." The tate asks judgment against the Union and Belt railway for M2.0 the amount of taxes which have accrued 'since the year IndlctmentM Returned.

ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE

DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS ADVERTISE ABANDONED JOIXT DEBATES. Their Committee Plays Double with the Republican Committee The PeopIes' Ren son lor the Crowd. The Democrats at nearly all points where the Joint debates were first set have endeavored to suppress the fact that they were canceled, and have been actively advertising that Mr. Owen would be present. Thl3 was probably done in the hope of getting a crowd, something the Democratic orators are unable to do this year. At Vincennes, however, the result of the trick was somewhat disastrous to the Democrats. They advertised with flaming posters all over Knox county that the Joint debate would occur between Messrs. Owen and Myers, in the courthouse at Vincennes, at 1 o'clock on Oct. 4. On the morning of that date they got out a fife and drum and a transparency or banner announcing the same falsehood. When the appointed hour arrived about thirty or forty Democrats turned up at the courthouse, and nobody else. Mr. Myers himself was nowhere to be found. After considerable telegraphing they succeeded in getting him over to Vincennes on the evening train, but the meeting had already flattened out, and he talked to a slim audience. Bartholomew county i3 now liberally plastered over with precisely the same kind of posters, announcing that Messrs. Owen and Myera will engage in Joint debate at Columbus on the evening of Oct. U. Tne State committee of the Democrats i3 fully aware of this proceeding on the part of its county committees, and rather encourages it. To cover up its attempt to play double tho Democratic State" committee has sent a letter to Chairman Gowdy, of the Republican State committee, suggesting that Mr. Owen take up the Joint debates, although. Mr. Taggart well knows that the state of Mr. Owen's health would not permit him to carry out the original plan. Mr. Gowdy replied to Mr. Taggart, recalling the fact that the Republican committee waa the first to-propose the series of Joint debates, and that Mr. Taggart well knew that Mr. Owen's ill health made it necessary to abandon the plan. Mr. Gowdy also referred to the fact that the Democratic committee had acted in a very unfair way, to put it very mildly, in advertising the Joint debates at Vincennes- and Columbus after tho debates had been declared onT. HBSSSSSSSBHS) A MEETING FOR BLOODSUCKERS. A Democratic Organ Describes the Soath-Slde Dynum Meeting:, The recent Bynum meeting on the South Side was rather larger than all the other Democratic meetings put together, which does not, however, say much for the crowd, but the reason Is now explained by the People, a weekly Democratic publication. The current issue contains the following: The leg-pullers and booze-fighters were out In full force at the Bynum South-side Democratic meeting. It is becoming a burning shame the ends that some would-be respectable gentlemen resort to In order to get a drink, a dlmo or a quarter -from a candidate. The gang was organized in squads of ten to fifteen, with captains and lieutenants. Money spent on them is money burnt up, as it were. There is a great deal of Internal opposition In the Democratic party to the nominees, from Congress to constable. The leaders have found it impossible to head It off, and the party organs have taken to vilification and reading out of the party. The People makes this reference to some of the dlpsatlstied: There is a couple of ex-officeholders, one physically unable to fill any position, while the other is incapacitated mentally since his let-down, making a noisy howl about beating a nominee on the Democratic ticket. The mistaken generosity of the Democratic party offered these dubs an opportunity to injuriously pull the wires in the past, but their counterfeit services have been dispensed with. If they would utilize the remnant of grey matter that has escaped the fool killer and could realize the picturesque character they present, both would sink in the oblivion which graciously affords such people escape from public contempt. REFUSE TO ACCEPT A PASTOR. Broadway Methodist Church Insists on Having Iter. Dr. Van Anda. The selection of a pastor for the Broadway Methodist Church is still unsettled and the congregation Is opposing the choice of the conference, which recently met at; Shelby ville. Rev. A. N. Marlatt was assigned to this charge, but the congregation's choice was Rev. C. A. Van Anda, formerly with Roberts Park Churoh, and a popular minister here. The bishop was notified that the congregation desired that Dr. Van Anda be transferred to this conference and ministry, but the bishop discovered that the conference ranks ' were full and that no transfer could "be made. He refused, " therefore, to make the transfer or to change the action of the conference In the appointment of Mr., Marlatt. The members of the board of stewards still Insisted that they wanted Dr. Van Anda and argued that. In. the language of the bishop himself, the field of the church on Broadway is one of the most promising and important In the conference and needs a man adapted to a city field. When a meeting of the leading members was held at the house of J. A. Sims, No. Oni Bellefontaine street, with Mr. -Marlatt ; and Presiding Elder Dashlell present, the lormer was in Ken 10 one siae ana lniormed that the congregation had settled upon another minister and would not contribute to the support of any other. Mr. Marlatt then returned to hla charge in Columbus and refuses to talk of the occurrence, except to say that the whole matter is in the hands of the bishop. It was expected that Dr. Van Anda would preach his first sermon to-day, but, under the circumstances, this 13 not probable now. The Journal announced, a few days ago, that Dr. Van Anda might return to a congregation here. The Broadway Church prospered greatly during the first half cf the year under the ministry of Rev. Mr. Northcott, who came to It with the congregation of the Seventh-street Methodist Church, which was consolidated with the Broadway congregation. Mr. Rnngcr Asked to Itemnln. The vestry of Christ Episcopal Church has made a request of Rev. J. H. Ranger, late the rector of the church, that he reconsider his resignation, which was tendered and accepted some months ago. This action was taken after the vestry had received a petition signed by most of the members urging that Mr. Ranrer be invittd to resume his ministry. The formal announcement of the matter will be made by Bisnop ivnickerbacker to-day. Hnll-Place Church's Xew Pastor. Rev. James A. Sargent will preach his first sermon this morning- m nis new pastorate. Hall-place M. E. Church. The church now has .a congregation of 300 and its prosperity is expected to be augmented under Mr. Sargent, who has been in the ministry twenty-five years. He i3 a graduate of Moore's Hill College. A Gyjpsy Camp Social. A Gypsy camp social was given by the, first section of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers at the home of their president, Mrs. F. B. Alley, corner of Twelfth and Meridian streets, Friday evening. The feature of the evening was the Gypsy camp on the lawn, where fortunes were told, and coffee and sandwiches served in well-lighted and heated tents. After a short and well-selected programme dancing was engaged in. The parlor was decorated in. plumosis asrvarigeno and Bridemald's roses. The mantel was banked with ferns and the letters "G. I. A. to B. of L. E." in pink flowers. The sitting room was red and green, the mantel banked in ferns with the Initials, and the emblem of the order, a star and crescent, was in red and smllax and meteor roses. The dining room was in the American colors and palms and decorative plants. Favors were carnations. . Christian Church Auxiliaries. The union meeting f all the C, W. B. M.

Though Mrs. Louisa Noerr, of No. 195 Shelby street, who was shot by her husband last Thursday night, has mado a will leaving all her property to Edward Helmbadh. her divorced husband, the chances are that he will not profit by it, a3 she will probably recover. Her condition yesterday, Dr. Kahlo thought, was much Improved, and he has strong hopes of her recovery. , Mrs. Noerr has three children by Helmbach, but why she should leave everything to him and forget her children is causing much discussion among thoso who know the condition of the family affairs. The making of the will followed an affectionate meeting between Mrs. Noerr and Heimbach. After he left the house Mrs. Noerr engaged the services of attorney Hovey througa her brother. Her possessions consist of a piece of property at No. 227 Lincoln lane and some money, which she accumulated while wlille living with Noerr. All Is left to "my dearly beloved husband, Edward Heimbach," but the will provides that in case of his death the property and money are to go to the children. Helmbach is to provide for the children in case of her death until they are of age. WOKK OF THIEVES. A Former Councilman Held Up on State Street by Five Men. William Austin, a grocer at Washington and State streets, told patrolman O'Brien, last night, that he and a friend were walking on State street, not far from the grocery, about 8 o'clock, when they were accosted by five well-dressed young :mn. Suddenly one of the five drew a revolver, and. leveling it at the heads of the two, ordered them to hand over their valuables. As Mr. Austin and his friend were somewhat slow in obeying the command the other four highwaymen handled them roughly and relieved them of a watch and 53.50.
