ASK MORE FOR BRIDGES

COUNCIL COMMITTEE INCLINED TO RAISE THE APPROPRIATION. Stone Bridge Undoubtedly for Me ridian and Illinois Streets, Says 31 r. Montgomery. The Council committee on finance last night held a meeting, which was mostly devoted to the discussion of the 1130,000 appropriation ordinance for new bridges over Fall creek and White river. Most of fne session was held behind closed doors, but It was stated at Its close that the committee had decided to meet with the Board of Works some day next week and have an understanding as to where the money Is to be spent. There Is a general doubt among the councllmen "about the appropriation being large enough to meet the requirements," and, while they claim a unanimous desire to have safe bridges, there are several councllmen who will not support the ordinance if all the money Is to be spent on a few of the principal bridges. It was sug gested by several at the meeting last night that if the Board of Works was not fully satisfied that all streets crossing the different sterams around the city could be provided with safe bridges through the 1150,000 ordinance there would be little difficulty in drawing up an amendment Increasing the amount to $200,000. It was argued that 1300.000 of bonds could be more easily floated than 1150,000, and that, moreover, unless $150,000 could be shown to be ample a better contract with bridge companies could be secured at the larger figure, and it would be good policy to Increase the amount. Thomas J. Montgomery, representing the Board of Works, attended the meeting and furnishei some Information concerning the way the board proposed to rebuild the different bridges. He said It was the intention to utilizer the present bridges which were too weak to stand the strain of the heavy street cars by moving them to stieets where there Is no street-car traffic. Mr. Montgomery further stated that there was little doubt but stone bridges would be built at Meridian and Illinois streets, although much had been said about Melan arches and other kind of bridges. It was expected, he said, that when the time came for bidding it would be found that stone brUsea could be put in for little, if any, more than the other kinds, and all the members of the board wert, united as to the superior wearing qualities of the stone bridges. He said that in a recent talk with County Commissioner McGregor the latter had said that the bids received by the-commissioners for building the Central-avenue bridge would give the best possible Idea of what might be expected by the city, and that, figuring as a stone mason, he expected some very low figures from talks he had had with some of the contractors. He said the board was satisfied that the bridges on West Washington street. Northwestern avenue, Indiana avenue and other streets would have to be replaced with stronger ones, particularly at Northwestern avenue, where the bridge has shown such signs of weakness that the street-railway company will not allow more than one of Its cars on the bridge at one time. He expressed the opinion that if the city expects to have new bridges within a reasonable time without having to pay a big premium for them the ordinance must be passed at once and the orders given for the material. All contractors are having a hard time getting Iron from the mills. whl"h are crowded with orders, and It is felt that it will be impossible to get iron earlier than Jan. 1, even if ordered at tMs time. Mr. Allen wanted to know why it had been decided to pay the proposed bonds In such a short time as specified in the ordinance, but Mr. Montgomery said that was something the controller had charge of and the Board of Works had nothing to do with. The railroad committee discussed the pawnbrokers' license ordinance. and the one compel the Big Four road to keep a fiag.T.ai at Hillside avenue, but took no action la cither. The- track-elevatiom ordinance was discussed, but no action was taken, as it was thought best to wait until Engineer Jeup shall have completed his plans and then visit some of the cities where track elevation has been tried. It Is expected that a trip will be taken to Philadelphia, Rochester. New York and Chicago. The finance committee agreed to recommend the ordinance giving 33.000 to the Board of Health for smallpox work. The ordinance annexing the tract situated between Tlbbs avenue. Tenth street, the Crawfordsville pike and the first alley west of Tremcnt street was held up. as it developed that there is mere land specified in the ordinance than It was intended to annex. Senate-Avenue Opening. Interested citizens met at Engine House 17 last night to take action on the opening of Senate avenue through the rolling-mill tract of land. George Ross presided and Thomas Grannen acted as secretary. A number of speeches were made In favor of opening the street and strong resolutions were adopted that the street should bo opened and the railroad tracks which now cross it, be removed entirely. Bridge A Wards at Secret Meeting?. The announcement was made yesterday that the Park Board had held a secret meeting Wednesday to award the contracts for two suspension brldeea In Riverside Park.

YOUNG BRIDE POISONED

HISIIVILLE FXRMSIIES THIRD CHAP TER IV CRIME IX A WEEK. Flint Glass Workers Fix a Scale for 8 Per Cent. Advance in Some DepartmentsState News. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. I RU5HVILL.L2. lna., juiy 11. ine suicjuo wave has struck this town, and to-day 'the third attempt was made when the young bride. Mrs. Anna Palmer Leonard, aged nineteen, tried to take her life with chloro form. She took a dose of the drug at 4 a. m. and her life i yet in danger. Mrs. Leonard Is the young woman who figured so prominently In the trial of her sweetheart, Ab Leonard, and his brother George for the assassination of her own father, Georgo Palmer, a month ago. Her sweet heart did the killing on June 10, after her father forbade her receiving Leonard any longer. He claimed the man, who Is only nineteen, would not make her a good hus band. But the girl had gone too far, and her condition compelled, her to stand by Leonard. She left home to live with her married sister, and both testified for the Leonards In the murder trial, which resulted In an acquittal on the plea of self-defense. After his acquittal Leonard betrayed nis true nature, went in pursuit of other females and forgot about the proposed wedding with Anna. She assaulted a woman he was with and had him arrested on a charge which left him only Jail or marriage, and he married. Mrs. Leonard says her hus band has treated her coldly since their marriage, and this treatment, coming after what she had 'done for him,, made her no longer care to live. She took the drug at the home of her husband a father. Charles S. Leonard, and lay without medical attention for five hours. At 11 a. m. she was taken from the Leonard house to the home of her sister, Mrs. Dora Loyd. There came near being another tragedy while the young woman was at the house. Mrs. Ellsberry Pea, a sister of the would-be ulclde. was present and laid the blame for the trouble on Charles Leonard's family, which, ehe said, had- opposed young Leonard's marriage to the Palmer girl. Mrs. Charles Leonard gave the lie to the assertion of Mrs. Pea and a warm argument ensued. Mrs. Leonard, sr., ordered Mrs. Pea from the house, but Mrs. Pea refused to go, faying she had a right to remain there so leng as her sister was in danger. Mrs. Charles Leonard then pulled out a big revolver from under a pillow and, getting the "drop" on Mrs. Pea. the latter lost no time in departing. The Palmer-Leonard troubles have been tho talk of the town for a month. The attempted suicide of Mrs. Abner Leonard was the third effort at self-destruction by Rushville women this week, two of which have proved successful, and Rev. W. J. Russell, pastor of the Malnstrcet Christian Church, will deliver a sermon next Sunday on the suicides that have occurred this week. o - GLASS COMMITTEES REPORT. Advance in Wnccea of 8 Per Cent.
