THE CONDUCTOR'S ART. He Explains Its Complexity and Its Demands. There 13 more In running a street car than passengers have any Idea of," Bald one of the oldest conductors of the Indianapolis Street-railway Company yesterday morning, as he kept his eye on a new man he was coaching, and who was making his first attempt at collecting fares. "To the ordinary observer," he c aid, "we conductors have nothing to do all day but collect fares, rinjr one bell to stop the car and two to go ahead; but that Is only the beginning of it, and to do those things right every time a man has to keep his wits about him. It would save a good deal of swearing if thecar always stopped when it ought to, and d good many lawsuits if it never started before a passenger was wll on or on! the car, as the case may be. and out of danger of falling. The new fast system adopted in Indianapolis makes a lot of extra work for the conductors. "What are the things that rattle a new man?" he was asked. "A biar crowd, large bills to change, scolding women and crying babes. These things usually corr 3 together, and a new man, hot and dingus sd. generally rinds when he cornea to cash In that he Is out in the pocket. It is not an unusual thing to have man apply for positions as conductor lust for the summer month?, when the work is more pleasant, and at the tlrst touch of cold weather look for a warmer Job. The majority of conductors and motormen are boys and men from the country, and they make the best conductors or motormen. because you take a city chap and he thinks he knows about everything there is going, and the fellow from the country is willing to learn, as everything is new to him. "Then the conductor has every class of people to deal with. There are the cranky people who get on the wrong car and blame the conductor, and the people who are in a hurry and think they wait fifteen minutes or a half hour for a car when in reality they only wait fire minutes. Their wrath always falls on tne conductor. The people who try to pass late transfer tickets on the conductor are the commonest class. They invariably say that this is the first car that has passed, etc., and ask the number of his badge and car and pretend they will report him. but the conductor takes it all in and Is winner after all. because he knows his business, and the person has to pay another fare. "Women get on the car and perhaps meet a inena, ana aoout tne time she ought to get off has thought of a story she wishes to tell her friend, and the conductor is again blamed for strating the car before she can finish the story. She usually calls him a mean, hateful thing and gets off with an in jured air. The women who are anxious to pay their friend' fare usually talk fully five minutes about It and keep the conductor waiting and usually end by each paying her cwn. ah tnese things a conductor must contend with and always be courteous to patrols, and et off the car hundreds of times dally, lifting children and aged peo pie from the car. besides watchinsr the rail road crossings. It is no pleasant task, let me tell you And the conductor stepped off the car to help a crowd of Fresh Air Mission children on. The motormen and conductors get 17 cents an hcur. The street-car system of Indian apolis, said one of the officials, as a result of the system and tralnina. Is the best in the country. There is a force of motormsn and conductors to the number of over four hundred employed. . A DriDondcnt Woman. Mrs. Emma Taylor, of 1363 Parker avenue, took 10 cents worth of morphine yesterday morning because the understood her husband was about to leave her.

But for the thickness of his frontal bone and a defect In a cartridge, old Thomas II. Prather would be dead Instead of merely suffering from a chipped skull and a gash in the center of his forehead. He. lives at No. 21U English avenue. His house stands in the center of a great commons, bounded by railroads, and thus a happy dropplng-off place for tramps who come Into the city on freight trains. Because of the stringent "economy" of the city administration the whole district is guarded at night by only one patrolmen, James MerTord, It was remarked last night that It would not be strange If he were held up in the lonely place and assassinated some dark night. Prather Is fifty-seven years old and supports a large family on small wages. Last night, shortly after 9 o'clock, he was returning from a grocery across the commons In front of his house. The way was dark and rough, with many pitfalls for unwary feet. Prather was about half-way home. He was carrying a basket of groceries under ono arm, and in the other hand he grasped a receipt for his grocery bill and some change. "When he was about half-way home, and thinking of anything else but footpads, a tharp voice behind him demanded: "Give me your money!" Prather thought it was a neighbor who had come silently up behind him and was "monkeyln " with him. He wheeled about and looked Into the muzzle of a revolver in the hand of a well-dressed stranger. "Give me your money, I say!" repeated the highwayman, In a meaner tone than before. Prather threw up a hand and grasped the gun. The footpad pulled the trigger and the bullet struck Prather squarely In the center of the forehead. Prather fell to his knees stunned. The stranger thrust his hand into Prather's pocket and took out li. Then he forced open Prather's hand and took the change. The basketful of groceries spilled on the ground. The footpad struck Prather with the butt of his revolver while the old man was on his knees, probably, for there Is an abrasion cn the right side of his forehead. The foa pad waited for Prather to rise, and when he did and started in the direction of his house the highwayman commanded him not to cry out. But Prather was in a daze, and could not have yelled if he wanted to. When the footpad left him he did not know, for it was all he could do to keep his brain clear enough to stumble on toward home. He could not do that much longer. He grew weaker and weaker and finally fell on his face on the path. FOUND IN THE WEEDS. His wife, who is much younger than her husband, was talking to two colored women In front of the house. A band was practicing next door. No one heard the shot besides Prather and the man who fired It. Mrs. Prather's sharp ears detected groans, and after listening a moment she and the colored women went over into the weeds of

the commons to hunt for the trouble. Mrs. Prather fell into a ditch, and the colored women pulled her out. A few feet further on she fell into another hole disguised by long weeds. She struggled out, only to fall into another ditch. It was discouraging, but the groans were becoming more audible, and the three women moved on. They came across the old man at length on the ground. They turned him over, and saw that his face was covered with blood, streaming from an ugly hole In his forehead. The members of- the band were called from their practice of rag-time and other popular airs, and Prather was soon laid on a cot in his front room. Patrolman Mefford happened to be in that particular region of the thousand or more acres he is required to care for, and he notified the po lice station. Detectives Stout and Holts went to the Prather house, which Is four squares beyond the end of the English-avenue street-car line, and Dr. Berner, of the City Dispensary staff, followed them. Wrhlle the detectives were sitting by Prather's cot hearing his story and the stories of the women, the crack of a pistol came through the open door. It sounded from the middle of tho commons, about the place where Prather had been held up and shot. Stout and Mefford dived Into the darkness, and left lloltz to continue taking down Prather's story for a report to headquarters. Stout went one way, and Mefford another. Both of them found the dismal pits overgrown with weeds, but with their hands on their revolvers they struggled on. The moon and the stars threw a doubtful light over tho broad expanse of weeds, and the woods to the east stood out darkly against tho sky. On the other side of the commons Stout walked up to a house from which the light of a lamp flickered. At a window a man and his wife sat drinking a bottle of beer. "Say. friend," said Stout, "did you hear a shot in thl3 neighborhood?" The man turned languidly around, poured out a glass of beer and answered, with upheld bottle: "Yes, I saw the flash of the gun. The man who shot was under that there elm tree across the street." "You didn't see which way he went, did you?" "No, I didn't," replied the man. His wife looked curiously out at the detective, but in a moment sank back in her chair and held out her glass, which her husband filled with the "foaming beverage." Both of them turned their backs on the detective. The beer was more interesting than the mystery of the shot in the darkness. Mefford and Stout searched through the woods and tho weeds, carefully kicking into clumps of bushes. But the man who did the shooting had fled, evidently, and there was no evidence that he had shot at anybody unless it was the man and his wife at the window drinking beer, and if he thought to frighten them he wasted his powder. Two other men who had seen the shot a square away assisted In trying to flush the man with the gun, but it was no use. The party found the path so as to insure safer passage than stumbling among the pitfalls designed in the commons either by nature or the man with the hoe and wended its way back to the Prather house. .The doctor was sewing up the old man's wound. He said twelve hours would show whether there was an interior fracture. The bullet had bounced off Prather's skull after doing considerable mischief with the flesh and nicking the bone. SATURDAY HALF HOLIDAY. Clearing House Declines to Indorse It-Tvro Banks That Will Close. The Clearing House Association yesterday decided not to close at 1 o'clock on Satur day afternoons. The Indiana National and the Capital National Banks have decided to close at 1 on Saturdays for an indefinite pe riod. Those banks in the clearing house have had the question under advisement, but they say they believe it could not be done without serious detriment to their clients. They state that the banking business here js conducted by so few banks that it would seriously inconvenience their depositors for them to close early, and, while it is the cus tom In other cities, this city haa fewer banks

DEAD OUTSIDE SALOON DOOR

Otis Reed, nn Upholsterer, Deserted by His Companions. Otis Reed, an upholsterer, employed by Otto Suez, and living at No. 600 East Ohio street, was found dead about 12 o'clock last night at the rear door of Moore's saloon, No. 325 Massachusetts avenue. The body was taken in the city ambulance to the morgue and the coroner notified. Moore said Reed came to his place from the Republican primaries with a crowd. They drank and then sat down to lunch. As Reed attempted to get up he fell to his knees and was apparently ill. One of his companions took him outside and said he would take him home in a carriage. When Moore's bartender went to close the rear door for the night he found Reed lying just outside the door. He shook him but was unable to awaken him and called Moore. Moore did not respond at once, saying, in answer to the bartender's remark that the man was dead, "Well. I guess he's dead drunk." Reed was thirty years of age, unmarried and lived with his mother.

For every $100 worth of taxable property citizens of Indianapolis will pay fifty-nine cents city tax for the year 1S0O. Tae levy was placed at this figure yesterday by Mayor Taggart and Controller Johnson, who, after several days figuring, concluded that so large a reduction from the assessment two

years ago, which was seventy cents, could be made and allow sufficient money for the proper conducting of city affairs. In addition to the fifty-nine cents there will be a tax of one cent on each $100 for the benefit of the police pension fund, which tax is altogether a separate tax and does not in any way add to the money available for city uses. The estimated expenditures for the several departments are shown in the table below, giving also the appropriations for similar purposes for the year 1S39, and the amounts named will be recommended to the Council on Monday next as the appropriations for the coming year. 1S?9. 1900.

It is estimated that $313,000 will be received from miscellaneous sources, which, added to the estimated receipts from tax levy, will make the total estimated receipts $1,049,237.94. Though the estimated receipts do not equal the estimated expenditures by $$1,912.09 it is claimed the increased delinquency receipts on account of the sev enty-cent levy this year and the amount of cash on hand Jan. 1 will more than compen sate for the difference. Included in the annroorlatlon for public works is the sum of $10,000. the estimated cost of sprinkling unimproved streets, which under the new law is to be paid Dy me city instead of by the property owners as heretofore.

One of the best fields of the season will be seen in the amateur events and a fair entry In professionals. Willis Coval is confident he will be successful In his attempt to break the world's amateur record for half mile paced. Five good men have been chosen to man the "quint," and in a trial at the track yesterday a half mile was ridden in fifty and two-fifths seconds, within two-fifths seconds of the world's record. Davis and Levey, in their match race, will be paced by a tandem. A number of amateurs will ride at Elwood in the afternoon and here In the evening. Davis, it is believed, will win the cup in the Marlon championship, he having twenty points already to his credit. The events will start promptly at S:3d o'clock. Dunlap's Celebrated Hats, Fall 1SOO.
