CLOVER LEAF'S PROTEST. Another Road That Thinks It Is Taxed Too Much. The representatives of the Clover Leaf road yesterday appeared before the State Board of Tax Commissioners and protested against the assessment made on It. The road has a total length of iZO miles, and of this 170.20 miles are in Indiana. The gross earnings ef the entire road last year were $2.10:,974.:i. and for that portion within the State $739,7841.67. The first mortgage bonds amount to J3,0Oit, and the, cost of operating last year was' $1,816,017.92. The road is taxed at HLjMO a mile. Samuel Hunt, of Cincinnati, receiver for the road, gald he thought thero has always been a misunderstanding regarding the road, as it has always borne a burden and has been in the hands of a receiver almost from the beginning. Each receiver, he said, has put in his time paying off the debts contracted by the receiver who preceded him. Clarence Brown, of Toledo, general counsel for the road, said tne receiver s now making payments on the original construction of the road, and the preferred stockholders have not realized any return on their investment of J5.000.000. Re thought the road would not earn over 4 per cent, on its bonded indebtedness. He said the cost of constructing tha road now would be about tS.SOJ a mile, and he further stated that the assessment Is $38 a mile greater than the assessment in Ohio and $16 a mile greater than tho assessment in Illinois. W. 8. Sherwood, of Toledo, superintendent of the road, and W. II. Harrison, tax agent, were also present. A written statement was left by Frank Trissal, general attorney of the Indiana Southern. To-day H. C. Barlow will appear before the board for the Evansvlle & Terre Haute Railroad. The International Building and Loan Association. No. 1 and J, filed an appeal from the assessments made by the County Board of Review. THE WRECKED BUILDING. ? Company noa Owners Watching -with Jraloui lyea. The building at 543 to 543 Massachusetts avenue, owned by Mrs. Caroline Schwab, which was wrecked by the explosion on Thursday last, is to be torn down within ten days, if the order of Building Inspector Robinson Is obeyed. Frank Schwab, a son of the owner, says that a new building will be erected at once. The. work of tearing down will begin this morning. The employes of tho Consumers' Gas Com pany and persons employed by the property and stock owners have engaged In a number of contests since the explosion, the one party trying to keep the other from meddling with the gas pipes on either side the street line. The gas men claim to be willing to make any test looking to an explanation of the explosion, but insist upon conducting the experiments in their on way. The prospective lawsuits for loss of property and personal injuries is the incentive for the close watch being kept on the property and gas pipes. CITY NEWS NOTES. Carl C.

It is supposed that this Is the first information the families of Mr. and Mrs. Goode have had of the marriage. TESTS AT SANDY HOOK HIGH EXPLOSIVES SUCCESSFULLY FIRED FROM SERVICE GUNS. Experiments with Thorite, a Terribly Destructive Compound Rnnge Finder and Locater Tried, NEW YORK, July ll.-Officers of the ord nance department, U. S. A., conducted three separate tests to-day at the proving grounds at Sandy Hook. The tests consisted of the throwing of high explosives, the firing of a new high explosive and the testing of a steel tower and range finder. All were accounted successful. The tests were the culmination of experiments which have been carried on to rind whether or not high exploeives can be thrown with safety from ordinary ordnance guns. The experiments of this nature were conducted by the board of ordnance and fortification, of which Gen. Miles is president. In addition to General Miles, the following members of the board were present: Gen. R. T. Frank, Judge Outhwaite, Capt. C. B. Wheeler, of the ordnance department, and Lieut. I. N. Lewis. The tests to determine whether the Lewis range-finder is affected by the blasts of guns fired near-by were conducted by a special board appointed by the War Department at the request of the chief of engineers. This board was made up of Col. H. C. Hasbrook. Col. J. P. Storey, Capt, H. L. Harris, of the artillery; Capt. J. C. Ayres, of the ordnance, and Captain Judson, of the engineer corps. The first trial was that of tho Isham system of throwing. This consisted in the throwing of 113 pounds of explosive gelatin from the ordinary service gun. The Isham dlaphrm steel shells were used. The gun was tweive-lnch, of the service pattern, and the charge consisted of 415 pounds of brown powder. At first the gun was fired out to 9ea, It was placed at a low angle. The shell struck the water three times, proving to the officers that tn cas$ the shell f truck the water before strlkr ir.g the mark the charge would not explode. Four charges of explosive gelatin were next fired from a Sims-Dudley powder pneumatic gun. These charges were fired In safety and were a success, it was said. The greatest interest of the day, however, was centered about the experiments conducted with Dr. Tuttle'a new explosive, theorite. The Officers were reticent about the result of the test. The inventor was present and assisted in the firing of the charges. The theorite was thrown both out to eea and through plates and it has been demon Stratcd that, while the effects of the explosive are terrible, it can be used from ordinary guns and fired through steel plates without it exploding. The . theorite was placed in service shells and was fired from an eight-inch gun. The bursting charge varied but when the armor piercing shells were used the charge consisted of about twelve or thirteen pounds of explosive. The shells were fired through four and a half Inch Eteel, and while the plate was shattered, the charge did not go off. The board also conducted an experiment in firing off a Vicker's Sons & Maxim howitzer. It was fired four times with service charges. The officers attach considerable importance to these tests and say that never before have such charges of high explosives been fired from service guns. While these tests were going on the special board was conducting experiments to find out the reliability of the Lewis depression range finder and locater. The members of the board wanted to find out if the instrument would be affected by the blast of guns fired in the same locality. The testa were also to find If the range finder could be used from the iron tower at the Hook. The tower is situated about 100 yards from the battery of twelve-inch guns. This battery was fired twice and, according to the officers present, the finder was not affected. SPREAD OP SOCIALISM. Strong Hold It Has Taken In Europe in Ten Years. San Francisco Chronicle. One of the most striking features of modern political life is the growth of the Social Democracy. In Germany that cujt is so strong that the government is not only considering the introduction of a suffrage measure which will vest the conservative voters with two or three ballots each, according to their age and station, but Is trying to devise a way to deprive Berlin, the headquarters of the Socialists, of its chartered autonomy. The vigorous life of French socialism is made known whenever there is a ministerial crisis. Without doubt this element in the French body politic is more , powerful than the two groups of restorationists combined, though it is not, as they are arrayed against the republican idea. The Socialist battle In France is for a primitive democracy and less of militarism. In Belgium the events of the past few days have shown that the Social Democracy is a force to be dreaded and that it can ouly be dealt with politically by heroic measures, such as a gt-rrymander of the voting districts backed by the King's troops. Italy for years has been the hotbed of the new party. After the Abyssinian defeat the Socialist uprising was so widespread as to menace the integrity of the state, and within a day or two past the King-has been obliged to close the session of Parliament so as to put a stop to Socialist manifestations. Tho situation in Austria is about the same ns in Germany, though the Immense personal influence of the old Emperor keeps it from acute phases of disturbance. It is held, however, that the first political effect of death of the'monarch will be a social revolution. Spain is permeuted with socialism and even the Ottoman empire has. In the active and powerful organization known as "Young Turkey," n element scarcely distinguishable from the followers of Karl Marx and Libknect. Nihilism in Russia Is the extreme form of tho Socialist principle, which acounts, perhaps, for its failure to share the Keneral progress of the movement. Its policy has been too radical for its own good. Elsewhere in Europe the trend of the past ten years has bten in advance of the growth of any other political Idea. A peculiarrity about the Social Democracy is that it spreads with about equal rapidity where it is repressed and where it is tolerated. All that is needed to cultivate it is a definite and ever-present sense of social inequality and the courage to sc-ek out remedies. Repression, as in Germany, makes the sense of inequality more acute, the ea gerness for a cure more importunate. Toleration, on the other hand, as in England, encourages classes that might fear to oppose the military arm to adopt socialism in t least the experimental way. The extent of which the theories of Karl Marx have been applied in England is well nlch incredible, and every year testifies to the spread of the phenomena. In America the acknowledged Socialists nra four tha actual nnaa monv Ta'n Ka national political platforms of 1$I were niied with the ideas of the new party, though their derivations were concealed. But no one dare prophesy that the party itself will not bourgeon and bloom when th conditions are rlp for it. Lot the trusts realize tho run object of tneir being; let our moneyed aristocracy begin to pro duce its billionaires; let the doctrine of the greatest good to the greatest number give way before the government and lntersts of the few: let thore be a coincident in dustrial coliapso and the socialism will in evltttbly make ths eame stand In our own polltlrs that ft is making among the par

WILL REVIVE GAS FIELD

IMMENSE RESERVOIR t'XPER SECOXP TREXTOX IIOCIC STRATUM, Winona Expects a Visit from McKlnley Xext Month Glnasworkers Conventions, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., July 11. The Ohio and Indiana Pipe-line Company has completed a gas well at the intersection of Blackford, Jay and Delaware counties that will be the means of rejuvenating the Indiana gas field. An enormous flow of gas has been struck at a depth of 3,50) feet. The drill encountered the flow in the Lancaster stratum of Trenton rock. The ordinary gas well Is only about JW0 or 1,000 feet deep and penetrates only the first stratum of Trenton rock. The new well was completed and had Its finishing touches placed on It in the night time and immediately was capped so that no one might be able to tell anything about the result. Even the owner of the farm has been unable to get those connscted with the drilling to give any information in regard to the well. All who know anything about it are reticent and there is an air of mystery about the well. Since the well has been drilled the company pwnlng it has torn up its ejgh-lnch and ten-inch mains, which It has been using In the past, and is now laying an entirely new twelve-Inch line. Besides, the company is securing leases throughout that entire district. A number, however, have learned of the deep well and are holding their land until they find out what the new find will develop. It is believed that practically a new field of gas has been found just beneath the old layer. It Is a well-known fact that gas exists In a layer Just below the Trenton rock. When a hole is bored through the Trenton stratum the gas escapes. This being the case, it is doubtless true it can also be found beneath the second Lancaster layer. This second stratum of gas, being rock, gets the name from the conditions that exist at Lancaster. O. Here there Is a number of good gas wells with excellent pressure and in which the gas was found below the second Trenton stratum. This being true in Ohio it is doubtless the same here, as the Ohio and Indiana gas and oil fields are identical. The outcome of other wells will be watched with Interest, and if the condition Is general over the present gas belt, it is more than probable that the Indiana gas belt will take another boom and a new lease on life that will startle the world. It will be a reopening of America's greatest gas field and a continuance ef its boundless possibilities In a manufacturing way. With the fuel question settled and with the present knowledge of knowing how to harbor it, tne gas supply will continue Indefinitely. FLIXT GLASS WORKERS. President Smith Names Ills Committees and Delegates Take a Itlde. Bpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. JUUNCIJi, Ind., July 1L All of this mornlrg'i stsslon of the Flint Glas Workers' national convention was devoted to the report of the credentials committee. There was a contested seat from a Marion local which had two representatives. The convention decided to refer the matter back to the local to be settled, and neither delegate will be recognized until the matter is adjusted. All of the 205 delegates were present or represented. President Smith named his several committers to-day, with the following chairmen: Officers report, Mark 8. Brenln. Mlliville, N. J.: grievance. Henry 1. Smith. Brooklyn; estimating, Thomas J.

After the reading of the committees a train of street cars was pressed into service for a trolley car ride over the city and through the factory district. It was expected that Ball Brothers would open their factory doors to the delegates and Invite them to Inspect the patent blowing machines which have just been introduced here and threaten to abolish the entire glass blowers trade, but the men did not 6top at the big factory, simply passing it. Question Before Glass Blovrers. .ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 11. The annual conference of the Glass Blowers Association began to-day and will continue three days. The subject of machine-made jars was brought up by Executive Committeeman Roesler, of Muncle, Ind., who suggested that some regulations be created for the men who work at that branch of the business and to bring the machinery under control of the rssociatlon. The district reficrts indicate the glass trade is in a flourshlng condition. One firm in the We.st is enlarging its plant with the special object of making bottles for Mexican trade and meeting foreign competition. The question of using a union trademark was discussed but no action taken. It was thought objection would be made against putting it on the twisted wire. . . M'KIXLEY COMIXG.

FA1RMOUNT, Ind., July ll.-The Fairmount glass works this afternoon closed a" contract with five large jobbers of Louisville, Chicago and Cincinnati for its entire output next season. This contract calls for the production of 305 cars of prescription filntware and brandy bottles, with a value of li,Ouo. The Fa!rmount glass works have two large factories and closed the season two weks ago without a gross of ware on hand. During the ten months run the man aaement Ignored orders for 5.0 n gross, or nearly fifty carloads of ware, on account of their Inability to manufacture the same as fast as demanded.

Alfred HIrt, of this city, a wealthy stave manufacturer, is in Europe on a business trip and recently attended a banquet at Nancy, France, the novel features of which have perhaps never been duplicated. The banquet was attended by one hundred people, and they were all seated In a monster wine cask. This cask was ordered by the firm, Fruhlnsholz. for the Paris exposition. It is thirty feet across and thirty fet high, and is the largest in the world, and was easily

able to accommodate the banqueters. Mr. HIrt was the guest of honor and furnished the material from which the gigantic cask was built. The staves were shipped from the oak forests of Mississippi.

CIVIL SERVICE INQUIRY INVESTIGATION OF CHARGES AGAINST SENATOR GALL1NGER. Statements from Governor Buslel and Mr, Chandler A Nevr Hampshire Republican Quarrel. CONCORD. N. 11.. July 11. Representatives of the United States Civil-service Bureau began a sitting here to-day for the purpose of investigating charges, preferred against Senator Jacob 11. Galllnger, cf Concord, by former Republican Governor Charles A. Bushel, of Laconla, for alleged violations of the civil-service laws during the last campaign in this State. The specific charge Is that Senator Galllnger, as chair man of the Republican state commltte, dis tributed circulars appealing to Republloan officeholders for contributions to the cam paign funds. Civil-service Commissioners J. B. Harlow and Mark S. Brewer, who ar rived here from Washlngtoo last night, are In charge of the investigation. Senator William E. Chandler was among those pres ent as a party interested, though whether as a prosecutor or a defendant Is somewhat uncertain, in view of the charges and counter-charges made. The only witnesses at band when the seaslon opened were Postmaster Knox of Manchester, National Bank Examiner Carroll of Warner and T. F. Clifford, who was assistant secretary of the Republican state committee during the campaign. This Investigation Is held to allow the commissioners to examine the evidence and to decide if it warrants the further prosecution of the case. If they decide that It does the United States authorities of the Department of Justice will be called in. At the conclusion of the morning session It was announced by the commissioners that Mr. Buslel detailed the circumstances attending his making complaint to the Civilservice Commission last October, and the correspondence between him and the commission. Senator Galllnger asked the commission if he was to understand the real complainant was ex-Governor Busiei or Senator Chandler, and was told that he might draw his own conclusions. Governor Buslel read a long statement as to his reasons for action in the matter, saying he was animated by a desire to see the clvll-serviee laws, in which he believed, enforced. He considered the lavish use of money In elections was a menace to our national Institutions. He was not actuated by any unfriendly feeling toward Senator Galllnger in prosecuting these charges, and he had no desire for ''revenge." The principal feature of the session was a long statement by Senator Chandler, previous to which, however, Col. R. N. Elwell, collector of customs at Portsmouth, stated he had received a circular letter from William F. Thayer, treasurer of the Republican state committee, asking for a contribution to carry on the committee's work. Ossian D. Knox, postmaster of Manchester, also testified, but he said he saw no such circular, and. furthermore, had not been asked to contribute to the 1K8 campaign. Senator Chandler then came forward with his statement, which he prefaced by a short history of his connection with the political committees. He said he retired from the Republican national committee in 18S4 and from the state committee in 1SW. Senator Chandler continued: "I said to Senator Galllnger, in 1895, and again in that he ought to leave the state committee for reasons connected with the civil-service law, but he would not go. In 1S&8, much to my surprise, he took the chairmanship of the state committee. After I had recovered from my surprise 1 went to him to endeavor .to co-operate in the work of the campaign. We talked over the means of raising money, both agreeing that very little would bs needed. We spoke of individuals, of nominees for state offices, but nothing was said of federal officeholders. This was on Oct. 10. Between that time and Oct. 17 I heard an assessment circular had been sent to federal officeholders. Governor Busiei asked me if I knew of this assessment. He said he had reason to believe a circular for assessment had been sent to officeholders and he produced a circular which had been sent to state officers, and said some of them had been sent to federal officeholders. We had a long conference, the result of which was that he said he would complain to the Civilservice Commission unless some other way could be found to prevent these officers from belngassessed. Accordingly, Governor Buslel, with my knowledge, asked the commission about the terms of the law. He came to me later and said he had determined to make a complaint. In this I concurred, and the letter of Oct. 21 was prepared containing the names of those to whom it was believed the circular had been sent. I did not go again to the commission during the campaign. The rest of my connection with the business was all In the correspondence with the commission. I called on the commission when I went to Washington last fall and told them I would be at their eervie vThls is substantially all I wish to 6ay. If I find that the federal officeholders who have been requested by the commission to appear here do not come, or if they come and do not testify, I shall tell the commission all I know about the matter." At the conclusion of Senator Chandler's statement he exchanged some warm words with Senator Gallinjrer on his (Senator Chandler's) contribution to tho party funds in 104 and l$tt. James O. Lyford, naval officer at the port of Boston, was the last witness, and testified to receiving the circular fcom Treasurer Thayer. Ho also stated the assessment circular was sent to federal officeholders in 1S06. The commission then adjourned until to-morrow. Killed Ills .Mater. CLOUD CHIEF. O. T.. July 11.
