Island” on tbe

canal, near the aqueduct. Mizert on the witness stand in Police Court swore positively that Baker did not shoot him. but a* he was contradicted by three witnesses he was held for perjury. In the trial this morning he reiterated his story, and unhesitatingly repeated that Baker had not shot him. The same three witnesses again bore evidence to the untruthiulness ot hi* statements. He was again remanded to jail lor perjury and the de.eadant convicted. It is said that tbe accused and the injured are fast friends,and that it is a case of Pythian martyrdom on the part of Mizert to save his friend.

granting the use of the hall is that it would set a bad precedent, and if St. Vincent’s got it other institutions would insist on the same

To Pave Delaware street.

Voiney T. Malott, J. H. Baldwin and Dr. P. H. Jameson, representing a committee from

t the property owners on North Delaware street,

WilLam Baker, colored, was fined ?100 and j calue beiore the board and stated it was the sentenced to two year* imprisonment this 6e nse of the propertv holders that street should morning by Judge Cox ior .hooting William be paved from Washington street toMassachuMizert, also colored, six weeks ago. Iho setts avenue with asphalt on a concrete foundaff ray occurred at “Coney Island” on the ! Rt ion to a width oi forty-two feet in the center,

the gutters to be paved with brick on a concrete foundation tor nine feet on each side, provided this shall meet the approval of the tttard; otherwise the property owners desire t™e immediate improvement of the street with asphalt, material and construction to be of tbe best quality. The board intimated that it will improve the street as asked ior, except perhaps as to the brick gutters. These wul not be needed, it thinks, if the hitchingposts are removed, as contemplated, and horses taken irom market wagons that stand

in the gutters.

Demanding Xity Damage*. Simeon Dearinger has asked the city to reimburse him for the destruction of lot 10, owned by him, in Barnum’s subdiviaion in the southeast addition to tbe city. It is claimed that the Council and Board of Aldermen in 1888 ordered a bridge across Pleasant ran, and to put up tbe bridge changed the channel of tbe creek so that it trashed away part of Dearinger’s lot. Engineer Mansfield, who investigated the cleim, says the lot ie situated on the south side of Willow street. The changing of the stream was dona so as cot to obstruct Laurel street or require an additional bridge. Dearinger asks $600, but ti)e engineer says the lot at the southeast corner ot Willow and Linden, appraised at 9260. sold two weeks ago lor |400. Toe board heard evidence in the case this morning and took it under advisement. Hid* For Bridges Received. Bids were received for a bridge over Pogue’s ran, at Brookside avenue, as follow: Pittsburg Bridge Company, tL640; Buchanan Bridge Company, fl,4?0; Brown-Ketcbam iron-works, |1,200; George Winters, 94,220; Toledo Bridge Company, fl,380; Canton Wrought-Iron Bridge Company, $1,100; Groton Bridge Company, fl.175; Columbus Bridge Company, fl,l49; King Bridge Company. fl,275; Variety Bridge Company, 91,525. The Canton Bridge Company ia the lowest bidder, but the board decided not to award the contract until the city engineer examinee tbe bids. lie monstrance* Against the Railroad. Three additional remonstrants, each of them with many signaWir&, against granting the right-of-way to the Indianapolis, Logansport & Chicago, were filed with tbe Board of Public Works this morning.

Tbe manner in which the shaft o fthe Soldiers’ Monument hat been cleaned and finished is tue topic oi some discussion since the sealfolding and high board lence have been removed. Tne criticism is made that the stone work has not been properly cleaned, and that the cement joints have been left plainly visible, in lact prominent and conspicuous from alar. A man who is engaged in the busiuess of cleaning and finisning stone work in another city, has declared that the finishing work which has been dune on tne monument Is of the most interior

description.

“If the monument were finished as it should be,” said tbe man quoted, “it would look as though carved from one huge block of stone. Not a seam or joint would be visible a square away, whereas now you can stand on Meridian street, at easteud of the Union station, and almost count the joints between every two courses ot stone-The stone is not oi uniform color either. It is blotched and mottled and streaks and spots here and there are much whiter than the rest. That is the result of the use of acid. Acid can be safely used on some kinds pf stone, but it will not do for ludiaua stone. The monument can yet be finished as it should be, but it would be more expensive and much more difficult than ii it had been finished right in the first place. It would cost probably 91,800 to do tbe work

now as it should be done.

“Thin is not a matter difficult to prove. Go and look at the stone front of the new Eastman, Schleicher A Lee building: the Commercial Club building; the State House. The work on the State House is not first-class, but it is much better than that of the monument. The mouoment ought to be a work of art to which every Indianian could refer wi,,th pride; it ought to impress the G. A. R. national encampment next year as the greatest and most perfect memorial ever built. If this is to be so we can not afford to si ght tbe details.” State Geologist Gorby was asked concerning tbe practicability of finishing the stonework of the monumeot in tbe manner described. He doubted whether it could be done. He said that all oolitic stone takes the same uniiorm light gray tone alter exposure to the weather for a few months. Br next year, he thinks, the blotches will have all disappeared in ibis gray monotone, and as for the joints between the courses ot stone, Mr. Gorby thinks they add to tbe beauty of the shaft, and should not

be effaced it possible.

The mate House tffeli Water.

J. N. Hurty. who analyzed a tarn pis of water taken from the condemned well in the basement oi the State Houae, says the presence of nitrates shows plainly that fermentation ia going on in this water, and the abundant nitrates proves that extenshr* fermentation has been going on in tb* oast, evidencing past pollution. Tbe large quantity of chlorine shows present or past pollution with sewage. Tbe small amount of ammonias shows only a comparatively small amount of pollution now present, yet enough remains to condemn the water, especially when taken in connection with the lact that

great past polntion has existed.

•tun Into by Mules.

A nine-year-old boy named Knickerbocker, living at No. 343 South street, was ran into by a street-ear team on Virginia avenue, near

buwtwooo uurrmss. As there was aot a quorum present the Bngbtwood town board did aot transact aay business Monday night. Pro.essor Birchfieid, of th* schools, has joined the army, of wheelmen, aad rides to aad from th* city every day. The Emerson Desk Company has petitioned the Brightwood town trustees tor an extension of lime tor one veer in which to unprove the sidewalk along it* property on BloytLavenne. As there arh no bosses in that immediate vicinity and little travel, the petition will probably be considered favorably. “The Hoodlum” is the train that bears from one to two hundred of the shop-workmen to and from the city every day. A oitisen ot the suburb yesterday said: “I .wouldn’t be surprised to aee that train discontinued soon. Now that we have natural gas here many of the men that ride upon that train will likely seek a home in our town. I have often wondered that the company kept up that train. It is Certainlv a detriment to Brightwood, as it has mad* it almost as convenient (or the men to remain it th* city as to sett)*’permanently here.” One hundred and thirty men have been engaged lor three weeks in piping Brightwood for qatural gas, and they will complete their work this evening. The mains have been laid to all part* of the town, and those who have their houses already piped will light their first gas to-morrow. In spite Of tbe act that the citizens o- the subnrb will have to pay monthly doable tb* prices charged to city consumer*, as well as a bonus oi 926 for each house, there is much satisiactiou felt over tbe securing of the inel, and it is thought the coming of the gas will mark a new era in the growth and prosperity of tbe suburb. Tbe town will be fed by the new twelve-inch line irom Noblesville.‘which will not only supply Brightwood, but will yield an increased quantity of ga* for consumers on the other lines with wbich it wiil be connected. For a week or two the Brightwood main*, however, will be filled from the line irom the city. WEST SIDE NOTES. Dr. Peaches, ot Maywood, has removed to the city. A West Indianapolis saloon-keeper was for fifteen years a Methodist preacher. A pie social will be given by th* Ladies’ Aid Society of the M. E. church in the Haughvill* Reading Room Friday evening. A building contractor states that more bouse* are being erected this year in Haughville than iu any previous year of her history. A petition to the Board of Public Works is in circulation, asking for the grading and graveling of Lynn street, the first east ot Haughviile. The Christian Endtfivor societies of West Indianapolis will bold a union social ia the large building al Woodburn and River avenues, Friday evening, Haughviile real-estate men claim that the building up of the territory around the cerealine mills and coffin factory has not affected the market in their suburb. Owing to the illness of Mr. Hovey, of the firm of Harding A Hovey, attorneys for th* bondsmen ot ex-clerk Hooker, of Haughviile, differences between them and the town have been suspended for the present.

“A few Tears ego tbe gtme of policy, n form of lottery, attractire to the colored people, ran strong in this city,” observed n gentleman in a street corner conversation, “but I suppose it has been kept entirely suppressed by tbe police, as nothing is new beard about it** At that moment Alien Dudley, a wellknown colored man about town, waa ire at ioc. “Why, bices you.” bo replied, answering the question put to bun by oa* of tbe group of talkers, “‘Aunt Dinah’s potior’ or ‘Four-elevet.-fortT-four.’ as it is called by my people, never ran stronger ia this city than it’s going now. There are three policy offices here now and ail running wide span. They haveagentsorrunners outgoing from hou»e to house among colored people, and also where laboring n.*n are at work on tbe streets to sell tickets. Thee* agent* also loaf about saloons and catch eustowers there. Two of these poliev offices ere on Kentucky avenue and one run bv a white tnan is well, I don’t need to tall yon. but tbe police ail know where it is. “The runners w ho go from house to hous« get 20 cents on every dollar they bring in, aud they make good, wages, while their vtuuloyers are making 'oodles’ of money, Manv a poor washerwoman boys a ten-cent or a five-cent ticket in the hop* of striking three lucky numbers. A teo-cent ticket on throe lucky uurahsra pays 120, and 9 five-ceut investment pajrs half as much. “The much-talked about combination, 4-11-44, is played oitensr than any othei number*. Some people play id srsry cent they can get on that combination. That it what ia known as a fiat or gig. An unusual thing occurred ia this 4-11k4 this Iasi August It cams out twi««. end, amon| others, a colored washerwoman struck it Ross, one of the policy men here, was caught for $900. A quarter of a dollar oa that paid $50. and $1 $200. Of coarse th« same amounts are paid on any other lucky combination of three nnmben.” “Tell us about the dream numbers, Dudley,” said one of th* talkera. “The colored people who play policy, and a good many white people who plav it, to6, are great believers la dreamt. Different combinations arc played according to the dreams thev have, and soma of these combinations have names given to ll tra, wbich are weil known to all dreamers and players. There’s the 'dead row'—dream of a deed person—that’s a hint to play 9-19-29. The dead row dame out hero last winter, and was caught In two or three plaoea across the yellow bridge. On-Thareday this week number® 19 aud 19 of ths dead row cams out, bat the 9 failed to come. That same morning 4 and 44 came, but ths 11 didn't. You bet there was some excitenient. Then there’s ths chicken dream; dream that and play 2-11-22; dream chicken and horse, and plav 2-19-22. “Then there’s ths snake dretm, 16-46-731 ths clsar-water dream, 21-42-62) tbe muddy-water dream, 46-64-71; dream of a colored man and play, 16-66-32; ef a mulatto man, 6-16-66; ef a neatly-dressed white man, 16-71-62. When a train of cam mingles with your slumber that’s a dead pointer to play-4-11-44. A good many when they dream of blood play the oughts i Mr. Dudley meant the naughts] from 10 up—10-20-30 and so on in combinations of three. $om* of the older colored people play what is called the 'old maater.’ that ia tbe highest numbers in the game, for their o'd masters, if they are alive, are ail over sixty. “The numbers in policy run from 1 to 78. Some people play four numbers, but, ef course, the more numbers ths harder it is to catch all of ’em. Four numbers are called 'boss, saddle aud gig.’ Take a fournumber row like 22-.M2-42-62. If two numbers eouts out you get on a ten-cenl ticket 25 cents; if three come, $5; if four, $40. Thousands of people hare grown gray-headed* trying to reficb that forty dollars. They dou’t know anything about arithmetic, and can’t figure out the thousands and thousands of chance* against their hitting four figures. Policy is ths worst kind of a skin gams, and ths men who run it bars get nearly all their support from poor people who can not afford .to play at all. Many of thsm go without a meal’s victuals to bur a policy ticket. I suppose the offiee n , Virginia avenue, near Washington street, does the biggest business. It receives cipher dispstebes of the drawings twice n day, and it is a sight to see tbs scollops tbs colored messenger puts ou as he goes down to th# Western Union offics. He knows bis importance as a long lint of persons, whits and colored, who have invested, are standing about to see him as he returns with ths list of ths lucky numbers. “There are two wheels represented in this city. One is 'turned in Covington, Ky., that is called the 'Frankfort book/ and the other in Louisville, and called the ’Louisville book/ There are two drawings a day—twelve numbers in ths morning and thirteen in tbe afternoon. To play a tennumber row, that ia like one, two, three, etc., up to ten, takes an investment of $1.20. If three numbers come you get $2, four numbers $8, five numbers $40, and so on, a man has a much better chauee of being struck by lightning than of bitting five numbers, or even four for that matter. In tbs afternoon with thirteen numbers in an Investment of $1.20 winning on three numbers pays only $1.60, on four numbers $6.40, on five numbers $32, and so on. It pays less in ths afternoon bsoauss they claim your chances are better with thirteen numbers in than with only twelve numbers in the morniug. “The report of the drawings at Covington and Louierille come to Mr. Rose about 12 o'clock and in the afternoon atfio'eloek.

Lest Thursday, for instance, if you bought in tho Louisville book the elase was 439 and in the Covington book it was 489.

Qo in there any day about noon, or toward 6 o’clock in tbe evening, and yoa*ll eee a crowd there and hear wope policy talk than ven ever dreamed of. I suppose you've often wondered why there were so many colored men loitering about on Kentucky avenue, between Washington and Maryland streets. The explanation is simple. They are waiting to see what will tarn ap for them at the policy wheel/’
