SOT THE LOWEST BID

White River Bridge Contract Develops More llottenness. Democratic Commissioners Fixed Up tha Deal with Canton Company In a Shameful Manner. ONE BID S3,000 LOWER Brown-Ketcham Company, Em ploying Home Labor, Swindled. What a Bridge Man Says About Collu sion Lexow Committee Needed in tho Courthouse. Cost f nr consideration to the disgrace ful County Commissioners when they want to award a bridge contract to the V rougnt Iron Brldgre Company, of Canton, O. There an unwritten, hut binding, rule In this county, that no other company Khali build a bridge over White river so long- as tne present commissioners have the letting; of the contracts. Jsothing" was ever more clearlv shown than this Is bv the awarding of tha contract for the First-street bridge to the company that gets the contract. The Canton company wa3 not only $3,000 higher than the lowest bidder, but was given the preference over a home company and one that has given employment to citizens during all the hard times that came as a result of the success of the party to which the County Commissioners belong. It was known that the contract would be awarded to the wroucht iron company, but It was not known that the commissioners would dare to give It to the company in such flagrant disregard of right and Jus tice, and without the shadow or law. It was slmolv a rift ta the Wroucht Iron Bridge Company of $3,000 of the taxpayers money, if the company really gets it, but it Is not surprising, for the reason that It is on a line with former action of tha board. It Is not the first time the board has made the company a present of large sums of the taxpayers' money- There is a maxim that there must be a motive for everything. The motive of the County Commissioners in giving $3,C0 to this Ohio bridge company does not appear on the face of the records It is left to conjec ture to find motives, but In making the conjecture one has past contracts and records of the commissioners to arrive at a conclusion. In the award of the Kentuckyavenue bridge the same company was given the contract at $GO,000, when the BrownKetcham iron works would have been glad to have accepted the contract at $10,000. It was thia company whose bid was $3,000 lower than the Wrought Iron Bridge Com pany s bid for the First-street bridge. Ilesioenta of Ilaughvllle called uoon tho commissioners and petitioned them to give the bid of the Brown-Ketcham comrxuiv due consideration, for the reason that it gave employment to home labor, and had given employment to Its men all of last winter when other establishments were closing down. It should not have been nec essary to ask the commissioners to give any bid due consideration. Their duty would require this, and especially when the bid of such a reliable firm as the BrownKetcham company is so much lower than the next lowest bid, it would be but fair to presume that it would receive honest consideration and an honest award of the contract made. The rotten award of the contract has shown that the commislsoners not OnlV 1 n tpml P(1 t n H I a T-no-a rr tha and specifications prepared for the bridges. uui uisiegurueu me Dias suomitted for the worK as wen. in the rendition of the farce-corned v which thpv hnv Kaon rying on for a week past they have just squandered one week's time and $3,000 of uie taxpayers money. Tne statement is "wue on ine auinority or a bridge man that It was known to all of them, before bids were submitted, to whom the contract would be awarded, and that the successful bidder was to pay to each of them a certain sum for being permitted to feet the contract. This,, of course, would be charged m me oiu in aaaiuon to the legitimate cost of the bridge. The price to be paid for the Pleasant-run bridge Is $7,425. The contract for this was awarded , to the Toledo Bridge Company. After the developments that come with the awards by the commissioners it is not to be wondered that they did not notice the discrepancies between plans and specifications. There was no need to have them conform, as they were not to be followed. mt. Ketcnam said yesterday morning that the bridge which his firm was ready to erect for $3,000 less than tho favn Canton company was In every detail fully rquai 10 tne one 10 oe erectea by It. lie condemned in round terms the methods followed bV thf COlintV Pn m m 1 ccfcvn a ln letting contracts, and intimated in the sirongesi lerms uiai me reasons given by them for not awarding the contract to the lowest bidder were mere subterfuges. The cost of the two bridges is a little more than $33,000, which is $i,0O0 more than the commissioners have In the fund for butlding them. The December settlement win bring fJO.000, however. The expenses of the county roada, which are met from this fund, are about $3,000, and this will leave a very small margin when the May settlement is made. QUICK DETECTIVE Y0RK. Arrests Eiht Minutes After a Dispatch Was Received from Terre ilaute. Last Thursday night Albert Kllgore and William McCune stole two horses and a wagon from three farmers residing near Terre Ilaute, and then drove to another farm, where they stole thirty bushels of clover seed, valued at $210. They went to the Big Four freight depot and shipped the seed to this city, after which they abandoned the horses and wagon and came here. Yesterday morning, at exactly 10:10 o'clock, a dispatch was received by the police from the Terre Haute authorities, informing them of the facts in the case. It was thought possibly that Kllgore and McCune had not yet presented the bill of lading for the seed at the Big Four freight depot, and detectives Kaehn and Wilson were sent in a hurry to investigate. The detectives found Kllgore and McCune in the act of handing the bill of lading over to the clerk, and the detectives promptly arrested them and took them to the police station. Within eight minutes after the dispatch was received from Terre Haute the men were in custody. This is regarded as the quickest detective work in this city for years. A telegram was sent to the Terre Ilaute authorities telling them of the capture of the two, and 't 1 o'clock detective Dwyer. of that city, was on his way to this city. He arrived here at ten minutes of 3 o'clock and left with the two prisoners at 4 o'clock. Collegiate Alumnae Ofllcers. At the meeting of the Indiana Branch of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, yesterday afternoon, there were representatives of Bryn Mawr, Michigan University, Northwestern University, Smith College, Syracuse University, Vassar College and Wesleyan University.

Mrs. Ida Stuard, detained at police headquarters on a petit larceny charge, made two unsuccessful attempts at suicide yesterday morning. When arrested she carried a box of cigarettes in her band, and when the box was taken away from her began to lridulge In the most violent demonstrations. She tried to kill herself by beating her head against the Fides of the cell, and, when this attempt was foiled, tied a handkerchief around her throat and drew it tight. Patrolman McClelland found her black in the face and nearly unconscious. The prisoner Is the wife of Dr. Stuard, a veterinary surgeon.

INDIANA AT THE HEAD IT JIAS Tim LARGEST METHODIST COXFEUEXCB IX THE "WORLD. Central-Avenue Chnrch, Stands First In the Conference as a Contributor "Gypsy" 5mith's Revival. A statement has been made that the Indiana Conference Is now the largest in Methodism, numbering about 80,000 people, with 319 ministers, and that Central-avenue Church, of Indianapolis, is, therefore, the leading church in the largest conference in the world. Dr. Henry A. Buchtel, who is the pastor of Central-i venue Church, says the Central-avenue Church made the largest contribution for benevolent purposes for the year, but that Roberts Park and other churches have more members. Last year Central-avenue Church gave $710 to missions, and for all benevolences $2,0o2. This waa given in addition to paying the current expenses and building fund expenses. The receipts from the church averaged $250 a week. The church has 716 members, while Itoberts Park has over one thousand. This conference in Its number of ministers ranks fifth. Methodism has ten conferences with more than three hundred ministers In each. The Indiana Conference has 85,000 members, and the one next in numbers is the Philadelphia, which has 68,000. The Indiana ha3 a large circuit work, and there are men in the State who are ministers for as many as four churches. In Michigan, where there are fewer circuits, they have as many and even more ministers. There are one thousand members in Columbus, in Madison eight hundred, and there is a very large church in Jeffersonville. There ire lTo.ouO communicants in the four English conferences, nearly as many as in all other Protestant denominations put together. The Roman Catholic Church is not strong in this State in the smaller places. In the cities there are mafly, but in the country it will be found that the Methodist Church lead3 in numbers. The Central-avenue Church will have a series of meetings to continue through the month. Itev.
