LILLY & STALNAKER, MAIL CARRIERS' SEW RULES. l:iulti-l!our Liur to lie Strictly Obr.ervI No Overtime Work. The First Assistant " Fostmaster-yeneral his ncnt Postmaster Sahm a list of new orders, with Instructions to post them In the office conspicuously. These orders are de6iKned, it is said, to test the real strength of the several forces over the United States anl by this means to find out the necessity' of working overtime. The intention Is to cut down overtime work beyond eight hours to a minimum. The carriers are instructed that they must not report iintil the exact minute in which they are to go to work and must not remain a moment after finishing up the work after their last trip. They ar required to Jiote the time required for rach trip and also the time spent In "routing" their mail. The daily trip reports must be made out immediately after each trip and not at the close of the day as heietofore. Strict instruction, under penalty of removal, is' given in reference to concealing the fact that overtime is being made. Carriers are forbidden to do any clerical work at all and must not be around the postoflice when not a', work. The postmaster has special instructions to enforce the eight-hour law. A list of questions relative to the method of transacting the business of the office was sent direct to the postmaster to be answered. One question is as to whether any effort is made to test the amount of work that a carrier is doing. This. Mr. Sahm says, is done by assigning mother carrier to any route that seems to require any certain man too long to work it. If there Is a large difference, seeming to show the former carrier slow or delinquent In his work, still another carrier is ithlgned to the district. Then if the reMiM is the same it Is considered suIHcient evidence that the first carrier is not. competent for the task. There are some carriers who luve grown old In the service, Mr. Falun ways, and they can no longer do their work as fast as younger men, and this order is a hardship upon them, which, however, he says, he cannot prevent. The twine formerly used by the mall carrier became a familiar part of his mail sack. Iiut the department is now supplying small traps nnd is inquiring about the success attending their use. l'oHfnl n I ii rr main sr. The local postofTU-e department handled' in neceinber 3,811,620 pieces of mail, as against S.r.o.sTO in the December of JS'J3.

TEST CITY CHARTER

ARGOIKXT HEARD IX THE SUIT OF THE CLAYPOOL UHIKS. Tbe Case Slay Henelt United States Supreme Conrt on Question of Constitutional Law. The case of the Claypool heirs against tho county and city officials to enjoin extending their farm on the tax duplicates' for city taxation, was argued at length yesterday before Judge Brown. The Claypool farm, which lies beyond the residence portion of the city and' far from any street or any other city improvements, was annexed to the city by the Council so that it might be charged with the payment for some of the city sewers and of various other city improvements. Other farm property was annexed at the same time. All those farmers who lived on their land were given a hearing, but the Claypool heirs, who did not live on their farm, although living in the city, were denied a hearing as to the Justness of the annexation. The city charter grants to all persons who live upon their farms tha right to resist annexation proceedings by being heard in Council and by an appeal to the court, but if a man owns a farm and does not live on it he is denied the right to be heard at any time or placo and in any manner v.hateever. The city demurred to the complaint and the arguV ment was upon the demurrer. City Attorney Scott, on behalf of the city, argued that the question of the boundary of the city was a legislative one, over which the Legislature had absolute control. He said that annexation was not in any sense a taking of property and . that no hearing was necessary, that being the ease. Many authorities were cited in support of his proposition. He maintained that the Legislature had a right to classify property and citizens, and that this would not deny to the plaintiffs the equal protection of the laws. "It is all a question of territorial jurisdiction," said Mr. Scott, "and over this ma.H,(er the Legislature has unlimited control." Albert J. Beveridge, for the Claypool heirs, maintained that the annexation sections of the city charter violate both the State and federal constitutions, because they provide for the taking of property without due process of law and because they deny to citizens similarly situated the equal protection of the laws. Zil is admitted," said Mr. Beveridge, that taxation is a taking of property within the meaning of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United Mates. Annexation 1s a taking of property in the same sense, because the act of annexation at once subjects the annexed property to new and additional burdens which il ma not 'bear before. It is true that the Legislature has full power over all questions of municipal boundaries, but it must exercise that power within the lines marked out by the Constitution. The Constitution says that no State shall pass any law by which a citizen may be deprived of his property in any way without due process of law. Due process of law means that a citizen shall be heard before his property is taken. It may be taken without his consent, but not without giving him an opportunity to present his facts and reasons against it." "Suppose,", continued Mr. Beveridge, "that the Legislature ehould pass a law. providing that the residents of North Meridian street should have special privileges in resisting street improvements, and expressly denied those privleges to the owners of properly on South Meridian street.- No one will deny that this would be a flagrant and outrageous denial of the equal protection of the laws which the Constitutipn of the general govvernment guarantees to us, yet that is no more outrageous than thp discrimination inflicted upon citizens by the fity charter. The land owner's lands are precisely alike and are in precisely the same situation and condition and yet because one owner lives on his farm and the other owner does not live on his farm the first Is granted extraordinary privleges. and the second expressly denied all privileges whatever. The discrimination does not grow out of tlie nature of the property nor of the condition of the cltzens. It Is an arbitrary intentional and un just discrimination." Many authorities were cited by both sides and the argument consumed most of the day. An early decision is looked for. iShould the law be declared unconstitutional the present Legislature will doubtless remedy it. Should it be declared constitutional the case will probably be carried to the Supreme Court of the United States. ANOTHER NOSTRUM CASE. InillanapoIiM Woman C'laiuia to lie u Victim of a Swindler. In the Superior Court yesterday afternoon was filed the complaint of S. Kate Thornton, who asserts that she has been made the victim of a swindle which cost her a house and lot valued at ?1,500. Meta Reama and George W. Remalia are defendants to the suit. Mrs, Thornton's difficulties began in June, 1891, wheji, she avers, she met Meta Reama, who was practicing medicine and carrying on an enterprise known as "beauty culture." The latter professed to be able to beautify the complexion, restore youth and remove wrinkles. She was also proprietress of an industry which she denominated the "Juno bust developer," and in " addition to extravagant assertions of her powers in this direction she claimed to "be able to restore gray hair to Its natural color by supplying the scalp with seme elixir of life, and. "by turning back the wheels of time, would ie able to produce a luxuriant growth of hair upon a scalp as bald as a window pane." . The complaint charges that the defendant, knowing the plaintiff to p5sscss $1,3)0 in real estate, and with the intention of cheating her out of the same, proposed to sell her an outfit of these wondrous cures, offering to take in payment the plaintiff's property. The defendant, it is charged, declared she had been graduated In the science of dermatology and chemistry, and asserted "that she could remove wrinkles and crow's feet and restore to the bloom and beauty of youth the withered and shrunken faces of men and women over sixty years of age." The defendant, it is averred, declared that her remedies were harmless and in great demand and assured the plaintiff that she could, by Judicious work, easily realize a net profit of $100 a week from the sn'e of the preparations. For the purpose of supporting her assertions as to tho fabulous sums to bo made out of the business it is charged that the defendant produced the name of Mrs. L. C. McKahn, who, she said, was making $4(0 a week selling the medicine at Terro Haute. Further, it is claimed that the defendant showed the plaintiff a child with a beautiful face, who, she avowed, was past twenty-four years of age, and whose complexion bad been most wretched, but who was now "a living monument and witness to the truth of the assertion that the medicine would niuke beautiful the homely and plain. ' The plaintiff, relying upon these declarations, conveyed her property to the defendant by warranty deed June 7, 18i)i. A brief trial of the remedies, she avers, proved the untruthfulness of the statements made to her. First she found that the young lady who was palmed off as a "living monument," was a fifteen-year-old girl, who had never possessed other than the rosiest of cheeks. The remedies proved to contain corrosive sublimate and poisons of such potency that persons using it on their hair would shortly find their heads decorated with a crown of brown and a fringe of grey. It is alleged that the medicine would blister the skin and leave the face pitted like smallpox. The plaintiff, before she had long possessed these potent remedies, avers that she found proof of the falsity of statements regarding the Terre Haute business, and learned that the defendant was not a chemist, but a very bright woman preying upon the vanity and the credulity of the public. The plaintiff alleges that she went to Detroit, and. at an expense of $3m.. fitted up parlors for the reception of ladies who were necking for the elixir of youth. She had been there but a few days when she found that she had been defrauded and sold her fifteen hundred dollar outlit for 5eventy-flve dollars. Oct. 3 phe demanded possession of her property, but found that the defendant had transferred It without 'consideration to one Cr W. Kemalla, whom the plaintiff believes is the husband of the defendant. The court Ms asked to award Judgment for $l,.V0 and to declare the entire transaction a vendor's lein upon the real estate so that it may be Bold to satisfy the demand. Overruled the City' Motion to DImuiIm Judge Baker yeaterday overruled the motion of the city of Indianapolis that the suit of the Citizens company against tbe city be dismissed for want of Jurisdiction, lucre

fa a Ftiit pending in the Marion Circuit Court between these parties, the city being the plaintiff.

New Albany Rnll 3H1I Sold. John H. Holliday, president of the Union Trust Company, has completed the sale of tho New Albany rail mill to the Union Steel Company, the price being $75,000. The sale' has been approved by the court, at New Albany, which has had charge of the concern since it went into the hands of a receiver. It was formerly under the management of W. C. DePauw and, after his death, Charles W. DePauw became manager. Arrangements had been made for the transfer of the property to Alexandria, when the panic cam and DePauw was caught short of money and went to the wall. Work on the new buildings, had begun and, owing to the dismantled condition of the machinery, things were in an unusual and troublesome state. The Union Steel Company has made arrangements to complete the removal to Alexandria and will receive a bonus or $17u,ouo. rne piani -.t-m r.rrr.r 1 p.firt mon ivlion enmnlftted.

The appeal case of Charles Oftering, ac cused of violating a liquor law,, came up before Judge Brown, of the circuit uouri. yesterday morning.

By a decision of the Superior Court, yes terday, Clerk Fesler finds that he will be entitled to per diem for services in. the Superior and Circuit courts. These fees will become a part of the fund from which the clerk draws his salary. OPENING THE BARRACKS. Salvation Army Milken Further Prep aration for AVar. Brigadier Edward Fielding, of the Salvation Army, and a small band of workers arrived in the city yesterday afternoon from Chicago, where they have been waging an active war against sin. The fight against the same foe begins in this city to-day. On a large canvas streamer extending across the front of the building at No. 33 South Illinois street is printed the following: "The Salvation Army will open fire in this hall Tuesday, 8 p. m., Jan. 8. Brigadier Edward Fielding will lead the opening attack assisted by Ensign Blackhurst, Lieut. Sherman, Captain and Mrs. Stuyvesant and the Jones sisters, the jubilee singers. Admission, 10 cents." The army has engaged both floors of the building, and the advance guard was busy yesterday littlng the rooms up for the reception of the brigadier. A high private was scrubbing the floor. He had nothing to work with but an old broom and cold water. The janitor of the building brought him a bucket of warm water and a mop, which caused the private to remark: "I knew the Lord would provide for me. He didn't intend that 1 should use cold water and an old broom, for he always looks after his own." Captain Stuyvesant and wife and the high private went to the train to meet the others. On the return, as they were coming into the stairway leading to the hall, which will hereafter be known as the barracks, Lieutenant Sherman slipped on the icy sidewalk, but laughingly remarked: "This sidewalk is as slippery as the path of sin." The brigadier and his band were not given a very warm reception, for the barracks were cold and unprovided with light or heat. But he offered no complaint, and sajd that things would be running smoothly by the time the battle begins. Brigadier Fielding is a fine-looking man, and resembles Dr. Beck before that gentleman was elected coroner. He has long black hair and wears a neat mustache. He wears a close-fitting clerical coat, but toned to the chin, and on the collar of it is the letter "S." On his cap he wears an army pin. The Brigadier is a pleasing talker. "How .long will you be here," asked the reporter. "I shall remain long enough to begin the tire, and then 1 shall return to Chicago. The barracks will be in charere of CaDtain Stuyvesant and wife, and perhaps the Jones sisters will remain awhile. "What is to be your plan of attack in this city .' he was asked. "For the present it shall be evangelical. We will do some outdoor work and try and draw the crowd to the barracks, where purely religious services will be held. We have leased this hall, and the army is to be here some time. It has not been decided as yet whether to do any slum work. Our workers will first become acquainted with the town. We are tola that Indian apolis has not the element to contend with as has other cities, but I suppose there are sinners here as elsewhere. The Jones sisters referred to are natives of the West Indies and of colored parentage. They are said to be gifted with won derful voices and power to sing hymns. They wear the regulation army) dress. with the broad-brimmed bonnets, drawn downward by str.ngs, which are tied in a bow under their chins. Ensign Blackhurst is private secretary to the brigadier, and attends to all worldly matters for him This morning the Brigadier preaches at the Memorial Presbyterian Church upon the wont or the. army and what it proooses to do in Indianapolis. The members ask the assistance or tne churches, ror they reach an element which the churches cannot. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the Brigadier speaas at tne Aieridian-street Church. The Greenwood Line. The promoters of the Indianapolis, Green wood & Franklin electric railway are not satlslled with the franchise tendered them by the County Commissioners. The right of way, as prepared by the county attorney, permits the company to take possession of but ten feet along the west side of the Madison road. This space, the company con tends, would be insufficient even for a sin uK track. When the commissioners sub mitted the provisions of the franchise a few davs nsn it was understood that the rail way company would accept it. The directors are of the opinion that unless the farmers along the line could be prevailed uphill to give up some of their ground it would be useless to attempt to build a line over the Madison road. The Three Notch pike has been spoken of and the members of the railway company have been given to understand that the county would con pider favorably a proposition to construct the line along this thoroughfare. Police in tin'M Odd Report. One policeman last night made the fol lowing report: "The sidewalks were very slique this afternoon. Many people, both men and women, fell down, but no one wa3 seriously hurt." That this policeman told the truth, will be admitted v.- u-nv nnt whn attemnted tr walk- anv distance. Very few business men were thoughtful enough to have sawdust or ashes sprinkled before their places, so pedestrians had to struggle along in the rain not knowing what minute, they would fall. Many fell, tor the water on the walks made it impossible to distinguish the ice from the pavment. Cnncnde Engine Ready for Service. The total amount of fines assessed against the nine persons who were arrested for de facing the monument is $S1, with costs. amounting to $90. The gas engines which are to furnish power xor tne monument raseades are now in operation, and the builders announce that they are ready to be turned over as soon as the board selects an engineer, 'there are numerous appllcnats lor tnis position.

BOARD'S BLACK LIST

CONTRACTORS "WHO SWINDLED THE CITY WILL BE MARRKD. Engineer to . Inspect Sewers and Walks Said to Be Defeetive Street Repairs. After a long consultation yesterday, ia which the reports of the condition of various sewers and catch basins were con sidered, the Board of Works sent the fol lowing letter to the city engineer: "It is ordered by the board that you make a thorough inspection of the catch basins, sewers, streets and Improved sidewalks under guarantee, and in any instance where the work shows any defect for any reason whatever, to at once notify the contractor to have the work done as required by the specifications and guarantee." This letter is the result of the engineer's report on the condition of the catch basins on the Ira of the Morton-street sewer and other reports from various sources making charges of bad work on other sewers and streets. The board has determined that these charges shall all bo thoroughly investigated, and that wherever any ilefect is found it shall be repaired by the contractor. -Another thing which the inspection will determine is the names of the contractors who are to foe placed on the black list, so to speak. It will be a blacklist in this respect. When the names of the firms are ascertained they will simply be notified that they need not trouble themselves to put in any more bids. Tho board is firm on this matter. Mr. Wildman said yesterday: "This board has been badly abused in one way. We are getting all the blame for this Imperfect sewer work, when, in fact, we have done the very best that was possible wilh the force of men at our disposal. We are firm in the belief that we have done the heat that could bo done under the circumstances, and as Lincoln once said, when you have a clear conscience you can sleep well, regardless of what others may say of you." , C1IAHU13 IT TO FISIIKR. President Wildiiinn'M Remarks About , Tliosc Street Repairs. Mr. Wildman, president of the Board of Works, offered an explanation yesterday of the evidence ibefore the, investigating com mittee to the effect that the Board of Works had ordered Street Commissioner Fisher to repair streets left in bad condition by the sewer contractors. Ho said that complaints reached the board every day about the condition of certain streets a mud hole here and some gravel needed there, etc. He . said all such complaints were sent to the street commissioner with the indorsement instructing him to attend to the. matter. The street commissioner, lie said, is expected to us his judgment at times, and after viewing the place, if he thinks it is not work that should be done by the city, report it to the board with the name of the responsible person or company. Sometimes these reports were made by him, and then the board required tho contractor to make the proper repairs. When no such report was received from the street commissioner the board supposed that it was work which should be done by the city and thought no more of it. It is simply impossible for the board to keep track of-all the mud holes In tho city, and know whether they were caused by the sewer excavations, he said. APPKAISING SEAL ESTATE, Township Assessor Wolf Preparing for Spring: Campaign. Township Assessor Wolf is preparing for the annual spring assessment, which, in accordance with the law now in vogue, begins on the first day of April. In conformity with the statutes the assessor must this year appraise every foot of real estate in the township... This . is done every four years. Assessor Wolf says that if the Legislature enacts a certain law that will be brought p for its consideration he will be able to do the . work with a much smaller force of assistants than would otherwise be required. The clause which it is proposed to get tiefore the General Assembly will provide for the commencement of the real estate appraisement on the 1st of February Instead of the 1st of April. By beginning the work two montns earlier the assessor says he 'will be able to accomplish it with less than half the force that it would otherwise require. He says that the members of the State Board of Tax Commissioners promised to interest themselves in securing the passage of . the new law. G. A. R.
