Holt, to recover a large sum of money wrhlch he claims he paid to Mr. Holt in 1833. In that year the plaintiff was awarded the contract for building a large main sewer in this city and did not havo sufficient funds to proceed with the work. He went to Mr. Holt, who was then county treasurer, and arranged to borrow about $19,000. Holt, he says, agreed to loan him the money, providing he paid a bonus of $3,000 and 8 per cent, interest. A contract was drawn up, by the terms of which Bossert assigned to Holt his assessment rolls and all Barrett, law bonds Issued on account of the building of the cewer. The contract, Bossert claims, was. so drawn that the $3,000 bonus was to be con sidered a part of the loan and Interest at the rate of 8 per cent, was to to be paid on the whole, amount. This brought the loan up to $22,000. Bossert signed the contract, the money was advanced and he completed the sewer. The money was all paid, he avers, and he now demands that between $1,000 and $3,000 of the sum paid to Holt be returned to him. He claims that he was charged a usurious rate of interest on the whole amount and asserts that the contract was Invalid because it Included the $3,000 bonus as a part of the loan.

Acccording to his own story, the appetite of John Robinson, a Chicago burglar, land ed its possessor behind the bars of the police station last night and placed a charge of housebreaking against his name on the blotter. The scene of the episode which led to Robinson's arrest was the residence of Dr. J. T. Alexander, at No. 2110 North Alabama street, which was broken Into about midnight. Dr. Alexander, with his wife and her brother and sister, W. J. Groenwaldt and Miss Annie Groenwaldt, who were vis iting them, started out after supper last evening for a ride on their wheels, leaving the house locked up but deserted until their return, about 12:15 this morning. When they reached the house Dr. Alex ander and Mr. Groenwaldt took the wheels of Mrs. Alexander and her sister and started around to the rear door, which opens on to a latticed porch in the rear of the house, Mrs. Alexander and her sister entering by the front door In order to open the rear door to admit the men and wheels. Robinson, the burglar, who was then in the house, hearing the noise of the opening of the front door, tried to make his escape by the rear door, which he opened in short order. In his hurry he rushed into the arms of Dr. Alexander, who had walked around the house slightly in advance of Mr. Groen waldt. The doctor, taking In the situation. grappled with Robinson at once and al though a strong man himself, was having a hard time to maintain hl3 crlD on the burglar. While the scuffle was in progress Groenwaldt appeared and lent his efforts. The noise of the struggle reaching Mrs. Alexander, she opened the rear door and seeing her husband and brother trying to down the Intruder, she also took a hand. A clothes line was procured and one of the men looped it around Robinson's neck and drew it tight. His wind cut off, and fearing he was to be choked to death, Robinson gave in and was led around to the front porch still haltered with the rope. Dr. Alexander ana air. uroenwaidt at guard over Robinson while Mrs. Alexander telephoned for the police. Bicycle Patrol men Holtz and Bray hurried to the scene and reaching there, found the two men and women watching even Robinson's facial ex pression. The rope was taken from around the burglar's neck and Holtz put the "nip pers" around his wrists. The burglar was shaking like a leaf. He felt the blcod running down his neck from the wound the rope had made, and he said to Holtz: "Flease. Mr. Officer, don't let them hurt me any more." He had seen one of his captors swinging the rope in his hand as If he would like to throw it over the limb of a tree. Robinson, when RPflrrho.r was found to have a bicycle lamp, a bunch of skeleton ktys, a gimlet and some flies. He told the officers that he had teen in the city for three days, was broke and hungry. He said he only entered the house In ordir to get something to eat. Nothinr was found to be missing, but the refrigerator showed signs oi naving teen "forced." TO COAT MER1DIAN-ST. BLOCKS. City Engineer Will Experiment on One Square of It. At yesterday's meeting of the Board of Works City Engineer Jeup asked for and secured permission to experiment on one square of the block paving on North Merid ian street with a view to demonstrating the possibility of keeping water from getting beneath the wooden blocks and warping the pavement out of shape. Ills plan is to cover the surface with a layer of sand, coal tar and asphalt about a quarter or an men tmcK. niung up all the holes and making the old pavement water proof. The experiment has proved successful in Oakland. Cal.. and Detroit, Mich., and, as soon as there has been sufficient dry weather to take all the moisture out of the blocks, the work will be done. It will require only about a day to do the work, and It will furnish an idea as to what It will cost to treat the rest of the block pavements similarly. BOARD OF WORKS ROUTINE. Contracts Awarded.

AFRO-AMERICAN ADDRESS. Trotest Against the Action of Organ ized Labor. A committee appointed by the Indiana Afro-American convention, held in this city, to prepare an address to the public, submitted the result of its work yesterday. The address is directed to The People of America," and the Introductory paragraph is as follows: "We, the colored citizens of Indiana, in convention assembled for the purpose of considering the many forms of injustice to which we are subjected, on account of our color, and bsllevlng the great heart of the American people still beats In sympathy with the spirit of liberty and Justice for all men, and believing, further, that the apparently sleeping conscience of the major portion of the people Is largely due to a lack of Information concerning our real condition and the wrongs that are heaped upon us as a race, in all sections of our country we deem It wise to Issue this ad dress, setting forth the facts which we wish considered, appealing to the sense of Jus tice of the American people." The greatest Injustice the negroes suffer. the address says, is the taking of human life without trial by Jury, at the hands of mobs, which is a violation of the most sa cred right known to civilization. The at tention of the world is called to the fact that more than thirteen hundred human beings have been lynched in this country within the last seven years. "The apolo gists for these horrible outrages claim de fense of pure womanhood as the prime cause of these outbursts of savagery, but we can attention to tne iact that, according to the press dispatches from the daily capers published in tne sections of country n which these lynchings occur, less than one-third of the 1,300 lynched were even ac cused of assault, or of rape. During last year (1M$), according to President Dreher, or Koanoke college, Virginia, out of 127 ne groes lynched, twenty-two were accused of assault or attempted assault." In regard to the disfranchisement of ne groes it is said: "We point with sadness to the gross violation of the United States election laws, by statutory enactments, in tne Mates or isortn and south Carolina, ueorgia, Mississippi and Louisiana, where Dy three-rourths or the negro voters of those States are disfranchised, under the guise of an educational qualification. We do not protest because of an educational aualincation. nut we ao protest azalnst the law. Because it is only applied to the nesrro. and we can upon an citizens wno believe in a rair ballot to Join us in this nrotest. Laws should be general in their application, and appiy alike to all citizens." A protest is registered aarainst organized labor refusing to admit coloed men to Its ranks. In this line it is said: "How can the trades unions continue to demand, and ex pect to receive without question or challenge, sympathetic approval and indorse ment, or pudiic opinion when the very things it is demanding for Itself justice. iair treatment ana a living chance to se cure through honest toil bread and protec tion ror tneir lovea ones they reruse to extend to some millions of other laboring men. wnose oniy crime is tnat of their unfortu nate environments, and that Jehovah, in His wisdom, dowered them with a dark skin." A GARDENERS' TRUST. Want Entire Control of the Xcvr Mar ket Space. The Board of Safety held an unsatisfac tory session with the Gardeners Association yesterday over the market spaces re cently built just east of the market house. A delegation from the association asked that the board lease the place to the association outright, in order that the associa tlon might restrict the ownership of spaces to those who are acceptable to the association. The board had calculated that the 150 spaces were worth all the way from $15 to $100 a year and the association, while not protesting against the price, would not close at the figures offered. The board, therefore. took no action, i but referred the whole mat ter to the marketmaster with authority to settle with the, association if possible, and if not, to dispose of the spaces by auction.

Tincher complained and Asch and Dugan arrested Taylor, charging him witn obtaining money ny raise pretenses. Taylor first claimed to have spent all the money, but $4.75 was found hidden in his clothing. A Wanderer's Pitiful Condition. One of the most peculiar cases ever treated at the City Dispensary was that of John Garner, aged seventy-five, yesterday morning. He drove up to the police station in a covered wagon and called to the desk sergeant. He wanted to know the location of the dispensary. Dr. Loop was called and It was then learned that the old man's legs were both sloughing off below the knees. They were wrapped in newspapers, and the odor from the decaying nesn was sicken ing. Thousands ot flies made the troubles of the old man etill greater, lie said he lived at Poplar Bluff, Butler county, Mis souri, and was oi his way to Columbus. O.. where a nephew, Frank Brown, lived. He started from Poplar Bluff with his wife. They then had a team of mules, which was killed by a train. He afterward purchased another team and continued the Journey. but one of the horses died and with a pair cf shafts, he went on with one horse. His wife died en route and at one camping place, he said, a ganx camping near him robbed him of $04. The condition of his limbs, he claims, is due to fever, the sores which had once disappeared having again come out after the railroad accident. Dr. Loop cleaned and dressed the limbs and Garner, after being placed in his wagon. proceeded on his Journey. Behind the wagon was hitched a dilapidated bugey. which he said was the property of his deceased wife and with which he aid not wish to part. Martinsville Trolley Route.

Plumb, director of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Purdue University, "there has been introduced to the farmers of Indiana, what is termed a dilution cream separator. This Is not a separator as commonly understood by dairymen, where cream is separated from milk by centrifugal force, but is a specially constructed can, usually of large size, in which cream separates from milk by rising to the surface. by the common gravity process. The prin ciple of creaming in this can, however, dif fers from that usually performed In the dairy, through the mixing of water with the mhk to assist the cream to rise. These specially made cans have certain peculiar ities of construction and are advertised by the makers as 'cream separators.' The cans of different manufacturers differ in form and style, but the principal feature with a'l Is to fill the can partly full of new warm milk and then at once add a large quantity of cold water. This, of course, dilutes the milk, perhaps 100 per cent. In this diluted condition the claim o the manufacturers Is that the cream will rise more completely and rapidly than If not diluted; that in twenty to thirty minutes it will all rest on the surface of the skimmed milk, which may be drawn off from below. "In 1S33 the Indiana Experiment Station for two weeks carried on an experiment on the influence of dilution of milk on efficiency of creaming. The results of this work, as published in Bulletin 44 of the station, were that a greater loss of fat occurs In skim milk when dilution Is practiced than with undiluted milk, that the loss is greater with cold than with warm water, and that by diluting the milk a poorer quality of skim milk for feeding is thereby produced. These results were In accordance with conclusions arrived at through similar experiments at the Vermont. Cornell. Illinois and Ontario College stations. The process of dilution was not to be recommended as a general practice. "These so-called separators are patented and th Ccrr.tfll Experiment Station, at Ithaca, N. Y., has recently published a bulletin describing and Illustrating right forms of them, as described in the Patent Office Gazette.

THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON - July 30, 1 SOD Daniel tI, 10-23 Daniel in the Den of Llona. Religion qualifies rather than unfits for affairs of state.'

"Do you see the Hebrew captive kneellnx At morning, noon and nlfht to rrajt In his chamber he remembers Zlon, Though in exile far away.'

The promise to do an tinjust and Inhuman thinjr la best kept in the breach of It. Or. if this fiction of the remediless penalty must be observed, then larlus should have gone to the den In Daniel's stead. What a glorious contrast the divine government presents at this point to the ancient monarchy I The Medo-Pers'.an system found Itself In an Inextricable difflculty, with no way to savs the Innocent: but God has provided means to spar the guilty, and that, too, not by the abasement of law, but rather Its exaltation.

He loathed the dainties of his banquet room, nor would he listen to music. !eep forsook him. An upbraiding conscience and a consciousness cf unkinrly weakness were his companions.
