George Gray, who was reported dead at the City Hospital, Is getting better and will recover. The doctors who have examined his case think he is suffering from hysteriaepilepsy. Tho Governor yesterday honored tt requisition from Ohio for me return of James Gosley, who is wanted in Mercer county for assisting a prisoner to escape. Gosley is under arrest at Terre Haute. George Tate and Gertrude Mason, of Castleton, this county, came to the city yesterday, anil, procuring a marriage license Invited Magistrate Nickerson over to the county clerk's office to perform the ceremony. • Ford W. Tyler, typographical “make-up” on the Journal, left yesterday' for Denver Col., where he is to take a similar position on the Rocky Mountain News. He makes the change on account of his wife’s health which, it is hoped, will improve in the Colorado climate. Mr. Tyler has been a valued employe of the Journal for six years. Miss Jennie B<ott, stenographer in the state auditor’s office, is confined to her borne through a seriuua accident. A few days ago site stepped upon a wire nail in the yard at h* r home and It pl< reed her foot, passing through the sole of her shoe. J'rompt surgical attention was given, but tiie wound has become much inflamed and blood poisoning is feared.

LARGE FREIGHT ENGINES <► BUILDING THE HUGE MACHINES AS AN ECONOMICAL MEASURE. C., H. & I). Still n Member of the Mlieage Hnreau—AH Illleage Meets Opposition at Introduction. ♦- In the last few months the strong lines where competition is sharp have begun the building of locomotives which increase the hauling capacity of one locomotive 50 to 100 per cent.; that is, a locomotive of the past, of the heaviest type, which could haul fifty loaded cars, is to be succeeded by one, as in the case of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, which will haul seventy-five loaded cars of the train ,and the Pennsylvania road and the Pittsburg & Lake Erie are building heavier locomotives than those ordered by tho Chicago & Eastern Illinois. The new type of freight engine the Pennsylvania has commenced building at Altoona will weigh ninety-six tons and is an experiment wldch is attracting much attention. as they will be nearly as heavy as the mountain engines on the Northern Pacific and will have driving wheels several inches larger, so that they will combine speed with power. The unfortunate thing about the largo freight engine is that it cuts down the number of employes required in the train service, as one of tiiese large engines hauls in one train double the number of cars that the ordinary freight engine does. Now that engines and cars are being so rapidly equipped with air brakes and automatic couplers, the length of the train cuts but little figure. These engines will practically do away with an entire train crewr in hauling the same number of cars, including engineer, fireman, conductor and two or three brakemen; in fact, on the Vandalia the introduction of the big freight engines has enabled the road, to do as much business as with double the number of train crews when the light engines were used, and this is one of the reasons that trainmen are not looking upon the introduction of these monster freight engines, unless it be on mountain divisions, with much favor, but with business as heavy as at present, the effect of the use of the larger locomotives is really not much felt, as they are run day and night, and require a night and a day crew.

Scalpers Moving Cautiously. Yesterday the new scalping law in New York State went into effect. The intentions of the scalpers are not known, but scalpers all over the country are watching its operations, as, if the fraternity are driven out of New York similar laws are likely to be passed in other States. Buffalo is a hotbed of scalpers, and one of the Buffalo papers says: They refuse to divulge any of their plans. When asked they simply look wise and with a merry little twinkle in the eye say: "We are going to keep open as usual and take the chances of being arrested.” It is settled, however, that there will be no combined action in Buffalo. Every broker will take his own chances and pay his own bill if he gets in trouble. It was the intention some time ago to form an association for mutual protection, to pool their Issues and make a general fight to prove the law unconstitutional, but lack of harmony failed to bring the union about and now’ it is every man for himself. It is understood that in New York combined action will be taken to test the law. It has even been reported that the scalpers there had their men picked out to be arrested. If they are obliged to close up in Buffalo, many of the brokers will be heavy losers, as they have a large stock of tickets on hand on account of the encampment. The C., H. & D. Has Not "Withdrawn. Some of the agents of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton lines have not yet received their mileage exchange tickets, and D. G. Edwards, passenger traffic manager, has sent out the following notice: “Owing to unavoidable delays in preparing the mileage exchange tickets to be used in connection with the new Central Passenger Association 1,000-mile tickets, we will not be able to get them to you to-day, and you w’ill use the mileage exchange tickets from 5 M M E 1 and 5 M M E 2 until the new form is sent you. Conductors will have orders to honor them in connection with the new 1,000-mile tickets. In all other particulars follow circular of instructions.” The failure to supply some of the agents with the new mileage caused the report to get into circulation that the C., H. & D. had withdrawn from the new mileage agreement. Personal, Local and General Notes. G. H. Stearns yesterday became commercial agent of the Illinois Central at Milwaukee. On Sept. 15 and 16 the Cincinnati, Hamilton <fc Dayton will run a special train each day to the Indiana state fair. On Sunday next the Big Four will run an excursion from Terre Haute to Cincinnati. The tickets will be good to return on until Monday. Since Jan. 1 the Pennsylvania lines have handled 12,643,473 tons of coal and coke, 329,756 more tons than in the corresponding period of 1896. The earnings of thfe Chicago, Burlington & Quincy lines are now running SIO,OOO a day ahead of those of the corresponding period of 1896. The Lake Erie & Western, through having an elevator located on its track at Rushville, is getting a large share of the grain traffic out of that city. G. W. Blakeslee, secretary of J. B. Hill, general freight agent of the Panhandle lines, will, on Sept. 16, be married to Miss Stella Houseman, of Columbus, O. W. F. Snyder has been appointed traveling passenger agent of the Baltimore & Ohio. Mr. Snyder was formerly identified with the passenger department of the Big Four. C. E. Schaff, general manager, and Division Superintendent English, of the Big Four, and families, yesterday returned from a six weeks’ stay on the Pacific coast. The large n'ew Interlocking plant at Whiting, Ind., where the Baltimore & Ohio and several other roads cross, will be completed this week and put in operation at once. U. V. Cummack yesterday took the agency of the Big Four at Knightstown, vice M. A. Maxland Designed. Mr. Cummack is succeeded by James Wilson at Eau Claire. Parker Bugby, the Big Four engineer who was so bruised by jumping from his engine when it collided with the rear of a freight train on Friday, is improving and will be out again in a short time. G. S. McKee, who on Tuesday retired from the position of master mechanic of the Big Foui- to go to the Wabash, was presented by the employes of the shop at Mattoon w ith a diamond pin costing $365. The limited express on the Baltimore & Ohio's Chicago division was on Sunday hauled quite a distance at a speed of seventy miles an hour. There was seven cars in tiie train, Including two Pullman cars. The special arrangement by which Western and Southwestern merchants could mukv a trip to New York at reduced rates has been declared off. there having been some misunderstanding about the matter. D. I. Huberts, general passenger agent of the Erie, states that this company handled 82,213 passengers during the G. A. It. encampment without the slightest accident, and tlie business of that week will net the company $160,606. The Terre Haute car works are building thirty-seven poultry cars lor the Chicago Live Poultry Transportation Company. They an- very conveniently arranged for feeding and watering tiie poultry. Each car has 12s compartments. The Western roads have agreed to extend the selling dates for the tickets for the excursions of merchants to Chicago from Sept. 4 and 6 to Get. 2 and 8. This will give -the purchaser of the ticket a return limit of one week on his ticket. Tho Missouri Pacific has just turned out, at Us own shops, an engine patterned after tiie 999 of the New York Central. It will haul the express fast mail between Sedalia and Kansas City and is expected if required, to run eighty miles an hour. The annual report of the Lake Shore shows: Gross v-arnings, $19,380,96., a decrea e of $1,759,314; operating expenses, $12,41;,1t,9, a decrease of $2,614,063; net earnings, $6,964.798, an increase of $254,749; surplus after dividend, $37,442, an increase of $2,181. William P. Deppe, assistant general passenger agent of the Big Four at St. lavuis, was in tiie city yesterday. The handsome increase in business at St. Louis since he was promoted to his prewnt position naturally makes him feel somewhat elated. There is trouble between the roads at Kansas City. Two roads leading east, ir. is found, have been dealing with the scalpers, contrary to the agreement between the several lines, and these roads must pay tiie fine or it will be a serious blow to the organization. The Haskell & Barker oar works at Michigan City yesterday delivered the last on a contract to buiid 35i coal cars for the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. After com-

mencing building them the w-orks turned out twenty-five cars per day until the contract was filled. The Baltimore & Ohio is sending all its new cars, when delivered, to Chicago to be loaded with grain for Baltimore. President Stillwell, of the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf, states that the earnings of August were 25 per cent. In excess of those of August. 1896, and that this montn they will reach $400,(D0. On the strength ot this he has ordered sixteen new engines and 350 new freight cars. The annual report of the New* York. Chicago & St. Louis Railroad shows; Gross earnings, $5,377,490, a decrease of $785,077; operating expenses, $4,256,408, a decrease of $652,366; net earnings, $1,121,082, a decrease of $132,711; deficit after charges, $4,415, against a balance of $182,620. It is officially announced that J. P. Morgan &. Cos., representing the Northern Pacific reorganization syndicate, have sold a large block of Northern Pacific threes, which practically cleans up the syndicate holding of the bonds. The amount of the block sold is said to be $2,000,000, and the price 60, with interest. H. G. Sherman, who has represented the Union Pacific as traveling passenger agent, yesterday received notice of his promotion to district passenger agent for the territory covering Ohio, part of Kentucky, New York and Pennsylvania. His headquarters for the present will be at Cincinnati. Reports from the office of the railroad and warehouse commission of Illinois for the last week show a large increase in 1 traffic over the corresponding week of last year. The net increase in the amount of grain handled at Chicago during the week was 1,301,913 and at East St. Louis 88,797. M. W. Mansfield, suerintendent of the Indianapolis & Vincennes, says there is no truth in the report that he is to be promoted to assistant chief engineer of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg. Neither is there any truth in the report that the Pennsylvania has purchased an interest in the Richmond & Evansville. H. M. Bronson, assistant general passenger agent of the Big Four, says that the original mileage ticket w r as on a card, and a dot was punched out when used; then the coupon mileage book was adopted, and when first placed on sale met with much greater opposition than has the mileage placed on sale yesterday by thirty-one roads in the Central Traffic Association territory. The building of the Monon shops at Lafayette seems to have been a wise move for the company and a goou thing for Lafayette. Bringing four hundred employes to that city, most of them having families, helped the merchants and has given much more life to the city, while it has been of great benefit to the road, so Centrally located and so complete in every respect are the new shops. The new passenger engines of the Monon are, when occasion requires, developing a speed with the express trains which makes it evident that th’ey will exceed tiie guarantee In speed with anv reasonable train. Spurts at a speed of seventy miles an hour for quite a distance are accomplished almost daily, and the Engineers of 111 and 112 say they have never yet put the engines to the fullest test. The Southern Pacific has announced that it will not be a party to the reduced rates made to San Francisco for the meeting of the ietter carriers and that it will insist on its full proportion of the rates west of the Missouri river. The lines of the Western Passenger Association, which have made low rates for the meeting, are now in rather an unpleasant situation, as they will be compelled to stand all the reduction and they can hardly do this and carry the business at a profit. The Baltimore & Ohio proper and the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern are now working more harmoniously than at any time in some years, and the recent visit of Receiver Murray to Cincinnati has further improved the conditions. The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern has its track in good condition, and its passenger trains make good time and are well patronized, and before the year closes the probabilities are that the losses resulting from the high waters a few months ago will be largely overcome. The Michigan division of the Big Four is nearing its good-times volume In business, so many manufactories in the gas-belt territory are starting up, and in connection with the lake craft at Benton Harbor the road is getting a large amount of business. At Anderson and Muncie the business for August this year was fully 25 per cent, in excess of August, 1896. One of the 1 noticeable things is that as business improves local passenger business is reaching its oldtime proportions, the Michigan division for years having been noted for its large local travel. The lines of the Western Passenger Association have finally given up all idea of trying to get the outside roads into the organization. This was practically settled at Tuesday’s meeting, but the association roads yesterday informed the outside lines that they would trouble them no longer a.nd that they would be careful to see that all rates are maintained and upon the first symptom of demoralization they will see that tho outside lines are given prompt notice. They also request the outside roads to co-operate with them in the maintenance of rates. The Interstate-commerce Commission, in an opinion by Chairman Morrison, has "recommended” reductions of freight rates to Eureka Springs, Mo., over the Eureka Springs and St. Louis & San Francisco railways. The Eureka Springs Railway has for many years carried to its terminus freight at greatly reduced rates when intended for points beyond, to be reached by wagon transportation. The commission holds this arrangement does not make the railway company earners beyond Eureka Springs and that such lower rates are a discrimination against Eureka Springs ana its business.

FOR INDIANAPOLIS DAY. A Letter to lie Sent Manufaeturerii Mil(1 Business Men. Chairman McGettigan, of the state fair Indianapolis day committee to arrange for the closing of the manufactories and business houses on Wednesday, Sept- 15, and Messrs. Carnahan and Merriileld, of the committee, held a meeting yesterday afternoon. The gentlemen all reported satisfactory progress. The Atlas engine works and the Parry Cart Company will close their factories and the committee has received information that the shops of several of the railroad companies will close on the afternoon of the day designated and give their employes an opportunity to attend the fair and witness the great Star Pointer-Joe Patchen race arranged for that day as a special attraction for Indianapolis people, as well as the general exhibit, which is to be especially good. The committee decided upon the following communication w r hieh is to be addressed to every merchant and manufacturer in the city: ‘ We, the undersigned committee, representing the committees appointed by the Board of Trade, the Commercial Club and the press of the city of Indianapolis, beg to state that the object of our appointment was to request the Governor of Indiana, mayor of the city, the Board of Public Works, the banks, manufacturers, wholesale houses, railroad shops and freight departments, street contractors and the retail houses to arrange for a half holiday for their various employes on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 15, commencing at 12 m. This is ‘lndianapolis day’ for the state fair. We make this request, believing it is right and proper that the employes ot the various institutions mentioned above should be given at least one half holiday to enable them to attend the state fair; we do not believe that this is asking too much, as the capital cities of other States invariably give one full day of their state fair. The programme arranged by the fair association tor Indianapolis day' is practically limited to a contest between the citizens ot Indianapolis. To this is also added one of the greatest pacing racing events that has ever occurred in the United States—a pace between the two great pacers, Star Pointer, Both* (made last week), and Joe Patchen, 2:011-2. The fair association deserves great credit tor its ‘lndianapolis day' programme, which shows its anxiety to please the people of the capital city. The Indianapolis day' entertainment would do credit to any State fair association in the country. In view of this, and in order that Indianapolis, the capital city of the State, will not be behind her sister cities in the encouragement of her state fair, wo sincerely trust that your answer of the inclosed postal card will be favorable, so that we will be enabled to put you in the list of those desiring to be reported as closing on that day. Governor Blount cinci Aliiyor wore both called upon by the members of the committee ctrui botU tt.ppro\ed of the efforts of the committee, and both stated that they would give their hearty support to the half-holiday movement. Governor Mount will do all that is possible for him to do in securing the closing of the state offices upon that day. and Mayor Taggart said that the afternoon of Sept, hi would be considered a half holiday by the city, so far as McGettigan said yesterday: •*A list will be furnished the daily papers each day of business firms and manufacturing concerns who will accede to the requests of the commercial bodies of the city through the committee appointed. These will be published, showing the spirit of the business men to boom the interests of the city. We hope to get the consent of all the railroads centering in the city to close their shops and freight houses so far as possible ou titis one afternoon.

KITES AT BROAD RIPPLE ■ ♦ SCIENTIFIC FLYING OF LATE BY' INDIANAPOLIS MEN. Alt Hudinoiis Photography of (he Ridiculous Club—Yew Varieties of These Aerial Travelers. The Ridiculous Club, an organization containing a score of bright young men banded together for recreation and pleasure, has added "altitudinous” photography to its unique list of out-door interest. Scientific kites are used for taking views. The club has a houseboat at Broad Ripple and many experiments with kites have been made this summer. If the weather is fair, kites will be flown and photographs taken a week from next Sunday. Quite an interesting set of bird’s-eye view's of White river, Broad Ripple Park and vicinity have already been made. A member of the club, who is an enthusiast in the new sport, spoke interestingly of the development of the new photography. "That the kite would ever be put to practical use,” said he, “was, up to a year or so ago, as unlooked for as the utility of the bicycle In the days of the ‘bone-shaker.’ The Chinese are generally credited with the origin of the kite. In that country the kite-flying is done by men, boys taking no part in the pastime of their elders except that of spectators. It was the reverse in this country until recent years and Americans were wont to smile broadly at pictures of grown Chinamen fiying kites. Now it is different. Kite-flying is a science. They are no longer made of old newspapers stretched on crossed sticks, with a taii of ccin-cobs attached, as they were when you and I were boys and indulged in this sport.” Speaking of the history of kite malting, the Ridiculous enthusiast said: “The earliest on record is that of Archytas, who is said to have flown a kite about 400 B, C. During the second century Han Sin, founder of the Han dynasty, planned a large kite to send up and measure the distance to the palace in order to retaliate on Kas Tsu, commandant of the armies of Lin Pang, for punishing Chin He. in the sixteenth century that renowned robber lshikawa Gormon launched a. huge kite one dark night and nearly succeeded in stealing one of the gold scales from the great fish surmounting the Nagoya castle. For this sacrilege he was thrown int 6 a caldron of boiling oil. Another kite famed in Javanese lore was that which U 1 Shoesetsu used in surveying the castle of Yedo when he plotted for the overthrow of the Tokugawa government in the seventeenth century. The Koreans have a legend describing the plan adopted four hundred years ago by one of their famous generals who, when his soldiers w'ere almost routed on account of falling stars that happened to follow a defeat, sent up a lantern at night by means of a kite. As the light ascended he pointed it out to them as an omen of victory, thus restoring courage to his army. In Korea kite flying might be termed Kite nying, the silk, flying strings being dipped in glue, then covered with crushed glass. The fliers endeavor by skillful maneuvering to cross strings and by pulling taut sever their oppoennt’s flying string. The Malays have long been noted for their ability in designing kites, the steady winds of that peninsula being remarkably w r ell adapted for that pursuit. The Sultan of Johore had on exhibition at the world’s fair fifteen varieties of Malay kites. “Coming down to-the present time it' will surprise the average reader to know that until kites were tried scientists were unable to obtain accurate records from the air above us. Even the captive balloon was a failure compared with kites, to say nothing of the advantage of the kite owing to its being inexpensive. "The United Elates Weather Bureau at Washington has been experimenting about two years with kites of various form, some old, many new, to determine what design gave best results. Tiie successful kite must work well up towards the zenith, the nearest approach to the perpendicular so far being an ascent of 80 degrees at the Blue Hill observatory, near Boston. It must fly steadily in variable winds in order to get accurate records by the instruments sent up. These consist of a hygrometer, barometer, anemometer and thermal indicator, giving a record of the humidity, altitude, velocity of the wind and tho temperatures A small aluminium box contains the Instruments. Up to the present year the greatest height to which the ’meteorograph’ was sent was 8,740 feet. To attain this altitude nine kites were sent up attached at intervals to the flying cable which was of No. 14 piano wire and paid out to a length of three miles. During this ascent the pull on tl\e reel registered from sixty to one hundred pounds. RIDICULOUS CLUB’S KITES. “In their experiments at Broad Ripple the Ridiculous Clqb use several varieties of kites. In a brisk wind their box, or cellular, kites attain the greatest heights, fly steadier and have far more lifting power than the single plane type. They use two form of cellular kites, one called the Hargrave kite, invented by Mr. Lawrence Hargrave, of New South W r ales, In his search for a soaring machine. This kite resembles two shallow boxes, or cells, held in a horizontal plane by two light wooden rods In the form of a truss, the cells being placed about as far apart as they are wide /in order to give the air currents free access to both front and rear cells. Thin strips of spruce are used to make the cells, the frame then being covered with silk stretched tightly over the tops, bottoms and sides, leaving- the ends of each cell open for the wind to pass through. By the action of the wind the tops and bottoms, being nearly horizontal when in the air, are converted into lifting planes. The sides being perpendicular act as a keel, insuring steadiness as the structure floats througn space. Another form of box kite used in the club's experiments is a folding, winged kite, invented by Chadwick Hunter, of Washington, who has taken considerable interest in the weather bureau’s work in this line. This is the modified form of the Hargrave kite, the cells being dia-mond-shaped, with cross rib extending through and beyond each side of the front cell, supporting and at the same time extending the side planes to form wings. This kite, in a recent trial, during which it was poised at a height of 2,000 feet above W r hite river, produced quite a sensation among the sightseers on the Broad Ripple boats, some arguing that it was the missing air ship that was being heaid of in different parts of the country a few months ago, while others contended just as strongly it was some enormous bird of prey. It stands live feet high by eight feet wide from tip to tip, and presents nearly forty square feet of floating surtace. It. can be set up or taken down in a fen minutes, and when rolled up is easily carried on a wheel, making a roll but four inches in diameter and five feet long; weight, two and one£o"lnh light nd wincß the club members find kites of the single plane type are more easily sent up than their box kites, though not quite so good lifters. These kites are patterned after the Malay form and bear the name of their designer, W. A. Eddy, ot Bayonne, N. J., who is noted for his success in aerial photography. In detail this pattern consists of a straight snip, or upright seine, in the center, with a cross piece of equal length a short distance from the top and bent like a bow, forming a, slightly convex surface that insures steadiness in sudden gusts. On neither the box kite nor the Eddy or Malay forin are tails used, though at times an unruly Malay cun be steadied bv means of a cone or cup tail. This is a stiff paper cone some six or eight inches in diameter and so hung on a string attached at the lower end of the kite as to present its open or l&rge end to the wind. This acts as a drag and to a great extent will prevent ‘dodging’ in poorly balanced kites. A cone tail has th advantage of great lightness over the old form of tail. It is the Invention of E. Douglass Archibald. the celebrated English meteorologist. A ten-foot double Malay is also used by the club. This consists of two five-foot Malays on a single rib or spine. To photograph successfully from three to five kites are necessary, all being attached to one flying line at distances of from one to two hundred feet apart. The camera is preferably fastened to the lower part of one of the box kites, which insures a reasonably safe descent in the event of a breakaway. The kite then becomes a parachute, settling down slowly to the earth. In a trial flight a few weeks ago one of the oox kites broke away and was finally found uninjured a mile and a half from the flying point. The camera may also be attached to a triangle of light rods, and facing at right angles to the base rod. Another rod runs directly back of the camera and has a looped cord attached to its free end and extending to the ground. By pulling In one or the other of these cords the camera may he sighted in the desired direction. Horizontal views show up better than those made by the camera when pointed directly downward. The shutter is sprung by still another cord.

which at the same time can be made to drop a polished metal ball a few yards. This can easily be seen from the ground, though but two inches in diameter, and shows at once that the shutter has been snapped. ELECTRICITY FROM ABOVE. “In using wire as a flying cable no little inconvenience is experienced from electricity when the kites reach a height of 150 feet and over. Frequently the current is so strong as to necessitate grounding the flying wire by throwing a copper wire across it just above the reel. Mr. Eddy took advantage of the electric current drawn from above to work a short telephone line. Several kites, were sent up, the first carrying a pulley through which was run a small wire with a plummet attached. After letting out quite a length of flying cable the smaller wire was paid out, allowing the plummet to pull the other end down from the Kite to the ground a considerable distance from the flying point. A telephone was attached to each end of this line and a conversation carried on with perfect clearness. No battery whatever was used. "Viewed as s, sport, kite flying is an elegant pastime, not only to those directly engaged, but to the sympathetic spectators as well. The kite’s mysterious movements, as it glides gracefully through the commingling currents of air, those invisible zephyrs that render so perilous all experiments with flying machines of the aeroplane type, the occasional swoop, like an enormous bird darting suddenly downward from a dizzy height, then as steadily soaring upward until almost, and not infrequently entirely, lost to view-, make an interesting sight. "Several curious changes are noticed .in the colors of the different kites when in midair. A blue kite appears black, cherry red becomes surrounded with its complementary color like a fringe. Black is most easily visible, while light green is lost to the eye quickly. When four or five kites are flown tandem the leaders are hidden in the clouds at times, emerging into view again beyond them, A string of these kites at a high altitude is a wondrously interesting spectacle, particularly if the higher ones are in a different air current from those farther down, as then they seem to be strung out in a huge semicircle. Oftentimes when the kites are below clouds of the cumuli class they are seized by the strong up current of air under such clouds and borne directly upward. The Ridiculous Club, in taking up altitudinous photography, has added anew pleasure to its already extensive list, and in their cosy rooms will have many experiences to recount and trophies to exhibit in the way of justly prized photos from the sky.’’

UNIVERSALISTS OF INDIANA. State Convention of Representatives of This Denomination. The annual session of the Universalists of Indiana began yesterday afternoon in the North New' Jersey-street Church of that denomination, with a meeting of the Ladies’ Aid Society. Mrs. Mary E. Case, of Muncle, presided and th.re were about forty ladies in attendance. The opening prayer was made by Rev. Mr. Groves, of Switzerland county, and this was followed by the reports from the different societies of the conference, Indianapolis, Pendleton, Anderson, McCordsville, Oaklandon, Fincastle, Lafayette and Pleasant Hill. A general expression on the advisability of placing a state missionary In the field was given and was favorable. This missionary will have charge of the Ladies’ Aid Societies. the Y. P. C. U. and the Sunday school work. The election of officers followed, the choice being for president, Mrs. Mary E. Case of Muncie; vice president, Mrs. Eva Ballard of Crawfordsville; secretary, Miss Ida Hill of this city; treasurer, Mrs. J. B. Forsher of Pendleton. A call for pledges to carry on the state missionary work w r as made in an eloquent talk by Rev. Margaret A. Brennan, pastor of the Universalist Church at Muncie. These pledges are for a contribution of $1 from each member. flThe meeting of the Y, P. C. U. occurred directly after that of the Ladies’ Aid Society. Rev. J. B. Forsher, of Pendleton, the state president, was in the chair, and Mrs. Rose B. Stewart, of Muncie, the state secretary, was present. Reports were given by the secretary and treasurer, and this was followed by a school of methods, directed by Mrs- Stewart. Good citizenship and Young People’s day observance, the latter to be on the last feunday in January, and the postoffice mission were discussed in particular. A ser-rda of recome mendations was read and all were adopted. The recommendations were in brief that the state secretary Keep leaflets, tracts, etc., on hand to send to new unions: that the unions of the state adopt the “Praise and Thanks’’ song book, which was used at the national convention; that the Indiana State Y. P. C. U. procure a banner before the National Convention at Chicago in ls9B. In reference to securing the banner, a committee consisting of Mr. J. E. Hafner of Muncie, Miss Hattie B. Johnson of this city and Mrs. Kate K. Brownback of Pendleton was appointed by Mr. Forsher. It was also recommended that mass devotional meetings be made a part of the work in, the union of the coming year. To this end the State is districted and the mass meetings are to be held in each district, the number of meetings depending on the number of places in the district, on the supposition that each church will desire to be host once in the year. The districts are as follows: North, the churches at Galveston, Pleasant Valley, Huntertown and Logansport; south, the churches at Mount Carmel, Fairtield and Dublin; central, the churches at Indianapolis, Muncie and Pendleton. Each state officer will have charge of some special department of the work. A state officer may be sent to organize new unions at the expense of the state treasury. A vote of thanks was recommended for E. W. Ellis, who composed the state song w 7 hich was sung at the National Convention in Detroit. The result of the election of officers for the Y. P. C. U. resulted as follows: President, Rev. J. B. Forsher, Pendleton; vice president. Miss Emma Rickerd, Mount Carmel; secretary, Mrs. Katharine Brownback. Pendleton; treasurer, Joseph M. Taylor. Indianapolis; superintendent of junior work, Mrs. Frankton, Pendleton. The regular convention meeting of the Y. P. C. U. was held in June. The one yesterday was purely for business. By a vote of the convention an echo meeting of the Detroit National Convention was held at 6:45 o’clock, and was addressed by Mrs. Stewart, Mr. Forsher and others. The evening session. w 7 hich was the beginning of the fiftieth annual convention of the Universalists, was a communion service led by Rev. T. S. Guthrie, pastor of the church in this city, and the sermon was delivered by Rev. D. A. Patrick, who spoke of the work in which the church is engaged, taking his text from Timothy iv, 2. The meetings are held in the main audience room, which is decorated with flags and festoons of brown, the local color of the Y. P. C. U.. and blue and white, the national colors. Back of the platform is the banner presented to the Indianapolis union at Detroit for the greatest per cent, of increase in membership during the last year. All of the visitors, and there are sixty or more, will be entertained by members of the church with lodging and breakfast. Luncheon and supper are served in the church each day by the ladies of the church. The executive committee held a session yesterday afternoon preparing the routine of business to be brought before the convention to-day and to-morrow. The remodeled church is much better adapted for the meetings than before and the several rooms allow meetings and entertainment. This morning the opening topic will be “Zeal for Our Church,’’ by Joseph M. Taylor, of this city, with the reports of officers. This afternoon Rev. Henry A Brown, of Dublin will give a “History of Early Univcrsalism In Indiana,” with reports of church work, and this evening Rev. Margaret Brennan, of Muncie, will speak on “The Liberty of Faith.” tluima He Hus Proof. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Referring to the letter of Dr. Long, in which ho states that the Eclectic College did not give diplomas to persons without attendance or examinations, I wish to explain that the records of the meeting at which the resolution, as above, was passed show that Dr. Curryer and others were members of the board of trustees, but that Dr. Long was not. I am prepared with the records of the college to show that the statement made last week that the former managers of the college were parties to a scheme to give away diplomas without attendance upon lecturer and without the usual examinations was correct. The minutes fail to give the charge for diplomas issued in the above manner. R. C. KELSEY, M. D. Indianapolis, Sept. 1. Wise men know 7 it is folly to build on a poor foundation.

CONDUCT OF POLICEMEN DIW AND GREEN CHARGED WITH PERSECUTING A YOUNG WOMAN. * She Rejected Their Advance*—'Two Casesi of Oiliciul Tryunuj* Before the Safety Board. Charges have been filed with the Board of Public Safety against Patrolmen Dunn and Green by J. C. Jackson, who makes affidavit to his complaint. He says that the patrolmen came to his house last Sunday night about midnight and demanded admission. Without explaining the object of their visit, he says, the officers pushed past him intp the house, going first to a room occupied by his wife and afterward through the entire house, searching the premises. No explanation was given him. Jackson says that Ella Allen, a young woman who boarded with them, has been much persecuted by the patrolmen. According to his affidavit, they met her recently near his house and asked her to make an appointment with them, including Mrs. Jackson’s name In the proposition. She indignantly rejected the invitation. On another occasion Miss Allen was walking to a house four or five blocks from the Jackson home w 7 hen she was accosted by the patrolmen, who asked permission to walk w r ith her. She was frightened and consented. Dunn attempted to put his arm around her waist, according to Jackson’s sworn charge. She jerked away from him. The other patrolman tried to smooth matters over, and it is likely that nothing would have been said of their conduct if they had not entered Jackson’s home without warrant. Jackson says that he and his family are respectable people, and have never had trouble with the police or any one else. Another charge is made against Patrolman Dunn. Mrs. Frances E. Dildine, of No. 1920 Martindala avenue, accompanied by her son, called on the superintendent to make complaints against the patrolman. The young man said that he was standing in front of the Atlas engine works last Monday night talking to Frank Meyers, of No. 378 Martindala avenue, when Dunn came up to him and accused him of shooting a revolver in the city limits. The young man said that'he denied the charge as politely as he could, when Dunn called him a liar, struck him in the face and used abusive language toward him. Both cases will be heard at a meeting of the board next Tuesday night. At the same time charges against Patrolman Bert Miller will be heard. Recently Edward Denman, a representative of the New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin was in this city, stopping at the Bates House. One evening he walked on Washington street, smoking a cigar, about the same time the Park Theater crowd was going home. He observed gome colored toug’u annoying a couple of young women. He stepped between them and inquired if it was not about time for the annoyance to cease. The colored men left. Denman was the recipient of many thanks from the young women as he walked beside them toward Illinois street. They conversed pleasantly and Denman learned that they were going to lunch at the Kingston. He accompanied them. After the lunch he walked with them around Monument place. Suddenly one of the young women discovered that she had left her key on the table at the restaurant, pnd was about to start back when Patrolman Miller came up. He addressed the young woman in rough language, inquiring who the other woman was, applying an obnoxious epithet. Denman saw that there was trouble ahead and tried to withdraw. Miller then began using rough language toward him, according to Denman's story, and struck him in the face. Just at this moment a Journal reporter came along in time to witness what took place. He handed Denman his card. Miller began to think that he had made a mistake, and tried to placate the New Yorker. The latter, however, went to the office of the board and made affidavit to the facts, saying that It would be Impossible for him to appear for the trial, as he was compelled to leave the city. Miller has been before the board twice recently. The board yesterday administered a reprimand to Patrolman Loughlin and lined him ten day’s pay for intoxication. Loughlin admitted the charge. He has been regarded as an excellent officer, and, as this was the first time anything had ever come up against him, the board was disposed to be lenient. „ . Patrolman Sehroeder. who dispersed a band of Y. P. C. U. evangelists who were holding services at the cornet; of South street and Virginia avenue during the recent convention, made a statement to the board which was regarded as satisfactory and he was excused, although the board cautioned him to use more judgment in the future.

GRABBING THE LAWNS. One of tle Effect* of the New Sidewalk Fad. When the scheme of putting sidewalks next to the curb line was first advocated many objections were made to the plan, not the least serious of which was the contention that property owners would eventually claim ownership of the strip of ground between their property line and the sidewalk. This is being done. The Indianapolis Water Company has notified the board of one case at the corner of Alabama and Vermont street. The company complained that if property owners were permitted to move their fences down to the walks, in many cases fire hydrants will be on private property. It is impossible to move the hydrants -out as they would narrow the walks too much. The company said that in the particular case mentioned there is no hydrant, but that if the precedent were established other property owners would claim the same privilege. The board wrote the company a letter saying that if property owners move their fences down to the curb-line walks they will have to be moved back again as they wall not be permitted to take the additional space. Police Station Plumbing. The Board of Public Works yesterday awarded the contract for plumbing the new central police station to Clark & Son, Permission was given Frank Kennlngton to transfer the contract for constructing cement walks on Walnut street, from Alabama to East street, to Henry Maag. A petition for a bridge over Pleasant run at Harlan street was sent to the city engineer to Investigate whether the bridge is necessary. BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. Final Action Taken. For cement walks on Delaware street, from Twenty-second to Twenty-third street. For cement walks on Walnut street, from Delaware to Alabama street, and from East street to Park avenue. Resolutions Adopted. For asphalt roadway on Alabama street, from Twenty-third to Twenty nun so t. For asphalt roadw T ay on New Jersey street, from Twenty-second to Twenty-fifth street.

VICTIM OF GOLD FEVER e CLARENCE THOMPSON SKIPS WITH HIS EMPLOYERS’ BANK BOOK. a Returned tbe Cheeks, but Kept th Cash—Hie Future Address, He Says, Is Dawson City. Robert Waters, a real estate dealer and loan agent at No. 10 Monument place, la looking for a messenger boy that he can trust. He wants to employ a youth that has not the gold fever and one who has not heard of the Klondike and its fabulous stories of new-found wealth. Mr. Waters's recent experience with an office boy, or rather a young man, has taught him a valuable lesson. A few days ago he employed Clarence Thompson, a bright-looking and neat-ap-pearing young man of eighteen or nineteen years. Young Thompson has resided in the Wyandotte block with his parents, who are very respectable people. The boy’s father, Henry F. Thompson, has a desk in Mr. Waters’s office. Some time ago a boy, who had been with the real estate man for some time, left his place and on Monday Mr. Waters gave the place to young Thompson, who came well recommended. The young man proved to be bright and active and his employer believed him trustworthy. Tuesday Mr. Waters placed a bankbook in the hands of the young man and started him to the bank to make a deposit of S9O. About S6O of the amount was In c sh and the remainder in checka Young Thompson started to the bank about 1:30 In the afternoon. At 4 o’clock he had not returned and Mr. Waters mentioned the youth’s absence to the elder Thompson. At 6 o’•flock the young man had not shown up. and \h office was closed for the night. Yesterday morning Mr. Thompson, the father, said vo Mr. Waters that his eon had failed to show up at home during the night and the family thought It very singular. The first mail of the morning brought a letter addressed to Mr. Waters, which Mr. Thompson recognized as In the handwriting of his son. It read: “Mr. Waters—Will find your bankbook at No. 79 East Wabash street; In the last stall on the right-hand side. Inclosed find checks.” The lines were signed: “Yours truly, Gold Seekers,” with the postscript: “Care of Yukon river, Alaska, Dawson City.” The checks which Mr. Waters had placed in the care of young Thompson were all inclosed. The real estate dealer hurried over to No. 79 East Wabash street, which he found to boa livery stable. One of the stablemen went to the stall as described in the note Mr. Waters had received, and tossing the Utter aside, found the. bankbook. One of the men at the stable said he had seen Clarence Thompson about the place the day before. The young man’s father feels keenly his son’s disgrace. Young Thompson w 7 as formerly in the employ of Charlat Dale, real estate and insurance man. Nothing has been heard of the young man, except the note received by his employer since he left the office to go to the bank Tuesday afternoon.
