NO DAMAGES FROM COUNTIES

THEY ARE NOT LIABLE FOR AQTS OF THEIR OFFICIALS.

Decision of the Supreme Court In n (.ukc From Jasper County— Opinion Uy JiulKe Monks— C , Other Court Canes.

The new term* of the Supreme and Appellate Courts begun this afternoon. Judge Hackney was elected chief justice of the Supreme Court, and Judge Gavin Chief Judge of the Appellate Court. Tomorrow will be rule day with the court. The Supreme Court to-day. in the case Of the board of commissioners of Jasper county against James A. Allman laid down some law that is of public interest. Allman brought suit against the county to recover damages for the death of his L Intestate, caused, it was alleged, by the f defective approach to a bridge over a water course. He obtained a judgment In the lower court lor J^.OOO, which the Supreme Court set aside. The opinion, covering eighteen type-written pages, is by Judge Monks, who holds that "there Is no liability by counties for injuries caused - by the negligence of It* officer* In constructing or in repairing or falling to repair bridges over water courses, for the reason that there is no statute covering aucb liability." The ceurt say* there is no provision in the statute which confers a right of action against the county for the negligent acte of the county or its board of commisgioners in the management of the affairs of the county. "No authority,” the court says, "has ever been , given the board of aounty commissioners to appropriate the county funds to pay damages in such Cases, nor to levy and collect taxes for any (uch purposes." . . , .. The court say* the enforcement of the penal statute* and the creation of personal liability, if it does not now exist, for injuries caused by neglect of official dutj, would probably be more convincing to th« officers than taking the public funds to pay such damages. The cdurt announces that it bases its / action on the broad ground that counties / being subdivisions of the State, are in- ' strumefi tali ties of government and exercise authority given by the State and are no moTe liable for the acts oi omissions of their State officers than the State Higher Courts’ Record. file Supreme Court decided the following cases to-day: 17,141.

trh* Complaints Against Suparln- . te ident W. C. Shaman.

The directors of the ChUds-DrexelTIome for Union Printers at Colorado Springs, Col., met here to-day to consider the complaints that have been made against W. O. Bhuman, the auperlntendent of the home. The members of the board who at* tended the meeting were James J. Daily. Philadelphia; Alexander DuguW, Cincinnati; F. A. Colby, Colorado Springs; L. C. Shephard, Grand Rapids; Henry Dor•ey, Dallas, Tax.; WlHiam B. Prescott, president of the International Typographical Union, this city, and A. G. Wines. Becretary of the International Union, this city. The meeting was held in the office of the International Union. Some time ago a complaint reached the New York Typographical Union that Superintendent- Shuman was not conducting the >»ome as It should be conducted. The burden of the complaint was that he was surly, and In many ways unpleasant to the inmates of the home. The New York union sent a representative to the home, who spent some time in gathering, testimony. After the New York union had made Its investigation the whole subject was referred to the directors, who were called to meet here to consider the complaints. The day was spent In going over the

Bhuman would be removed. They agreed that the testimony wen|t to show that he is an honest, capable man, whose admin1stration in a general way has been satis, factory. They also say that he is not a pleasant man personally If the testimony submitted Is true. It seemed to be the opinion of the members of the board that there was no testimony that would wartant the removal of the superintendent. There are now sixty-two printers at the home. The capacity of the home is about

eighty.

Heforo he entered this business he was engaged In banking, and Was cashier of the Bank of the State of Indiana. He had severed his connection with the State Bank before that institution went out of existence. He was an Episcopalian, and was one of the organisers of 8t. Paul’s parish and church. He was one of the original vestrymen of St. Paul’s, and at the death of Thomas A. Hendricks, Sir.

BROKE OPEN THE POOR BOX. A Robber at Work la the Veatlbale of St. J oka’s Ckareb.

In the vestibule of St, John’s Catholic church is an iron box. apparently of great strength, set into the wall, with an Inscription, "For the poor, ’ suggesting that stray coin may be left there to good purpose. Some man with a cold chisel gave his own Interpretation to the sign, probably Saturday night, and when the usual opening of the box was about to be made Sunday morning. It was found already opened without the aid of the key. An-

Gavisk, without intending to reflect on the generosity of his parish, says th-rt there was probably not much money in the broken box, whkh had been emptied the week before. The mission box had 70 cents in it.

CIVIL SERVICE RECORDS. The Mayor Finds That They Have ,\ot Been Kept. Mayor Taggart does not agree with the civil 'service committee that the civil service rules adopted by Mayor Dennj, never having been formally repealed, are still in force. Acs is well known, he ha.-> made no pretense of following them. He leads them over occasionally, however, now and then, with a twinkle in his eye. His eye this morning rested upon a clause reading: "For the purpose of making promotions, the department employing clerks shall furnish to the secretary of the board of examiners monthly, a record of the efficiency, punctuality and fidelity to duty of the clerks in its departments,” accompanied by detailed directions as to promotions. The mayor carried this printed copy of the rules to the office of the Board of Public Safety and a^ked Richard Herrick, who was clerk of the civil service board, to show him a record of one of these monthly reports. ”1 can’t do it," said Herrick. “Why not? The rule* here call for them,” said Taggart, trying to suppress the twinkle in his eye and look grave. "Well, the fact of the matter is, such reports were never made,".said Herrick. The mayor also asked for the eligible lists, but found that they were all duly recorded in the minutes. "What is the purpose of your inquiry, Mr. Taggart?" asked a reporter. "Oh, there are little Inconsistencies about this civil service business, and I wanted to know -about those grades for promotion and the eligible lists.” Water Raises the Blocks. People coming down North Meridian street this morning noticed that the water had lifted a number of blocks from the new pavement near the curb on the west side, a short distance north of Vermont street. It happens that this very spot of the lifting was before the home of the president of the Board of Public Works, Mr. Downing. The contractors were before the board this morning. The place where the lift occurred was one where repairs had been made and the blocks had been simply rtloid without tilling. Lee Fulmer explained that he had delayed putting in the tar filling because of necessary attention to the block pavement far the viaduct. The water, therefore, got under the blocks and lifted them. He represented the damage as slight and easy to repair. Resignntion of Engineer's Men. The Board of Public Works to-day "accepted the resignation” of two more inspector* in the engineering department, appointed under the Denny administration. These were of W. 8. Thompson and W. H. Whitesides. The board also suspended Thomas Markey. an inspector appointed under the Taggart administration, because of lack of work for him. Suspensions are usual at this season, the men receiving work again in the spring. Improvement of Raymond Street. The park commissioners are urging the Improvement of Raymond street, which runs along the north boundary of Garfleld Park. The Board of Public Works, In instructions to the engineer* told him to provide for raked river gravel, rolled, rerclled and flushed for the roadway. The heavy rain has raised the water in the park lake above the dhm, and It is now running over in a small-sized catatract. HAN AND WOMAN BADLY BURNED.

FOUR DAYS OF RAINFALL,

TWO AND A HALF INCHES WATER HAVE FALLEN.

or

Freezing Weather Expected TnNlorrnw — The Warm and Cold Wave*—The Rain I* General —Posh I h 1 y S n o tv.

There have been more rainy days this month than in any month since April. 1894. The rain, which began Fri lay afternoon. hae continued, with some interruptions. and up to no^n to-day had amounted in all to 2.44 inches. This afternoon It continued steadily, and an aggregate of three inches Is expected before the precipitation ceases. To-night it may turn to snow or sleet. To-morrow morning, unless all signs fail, Mr. Wappenhans, the forecast official, gays it will be freezing in Indianapolis. A cold wave had been predicted for last Saturday, but, "just as happened In 1881,” Mr. Wappenhans says, “when a cold wave was predicted every week, a high temperature circled around it and crowded it back.” Two widely different temperatures have been contending for the mastery, and have been meeting for four days in the Mississippi valley. The cold has made Itself felt in eastern Texas and at Abilene to-day there is snow and a temperature of thirty. Out in Wyoming the temperature is below zero, but this last cold weather has shown no eastern movement as yet. However, the change from the warm temperature which has prevailed against the cold-In Indiana and further south and west, is making itself felt this

afternoon.

The total deficiency in rainfall in central Indiana for 1895, up t§ noon to-day was 13.40 inches. At the beginning of the month the deficiency was 14.89 inches. This was increased to 15.68 Inches before the heavy rains of the month set in. But the late down-fall has been sufficient to reduce the deficit to the amount named— 13.40 inches. The rainy days in November have been thirteen, against twelve rainless days, and the total down-fail has exceeded the average for November by

1.07 inch€*3.

The drought tvhich has been measurably broken has been the severest In the history of the weather service. The rain of the past few days has been of the slow, soaking kind that the farmers say does the most good. The ground has absorbed it. and there has been little surplus that has run off Into the creeks and rivers. These 2.5 inches of water have soaked into the earth about a foot. Below that the earth is powdery, and It will take many days and many inches of rain to restore the normal amount of moisture to the subsoils. The present rain has stimulated the rubber goods and umbrella market, and has occasioned wide-spread satisfaction. Some of the farmers nave been saying that for two years the dust has been floating over their w’heat fields, but that

joining States. Now that the elements are showing that It is not impossible to rain, there is a hopeful feeling everywhere. The rain which Is reducing the deficiency for the year 1895 is general east of the Mississippi. In some points in Arkansas, Texas and Tennessee, there have been heevy rainfalls, and throughout the Middle States there has been this quiet, but steady, downpour. RAILROAD OFFICIAL CHANGES. Charles F. Daly To Have An Office In Cleveland, O.

Daly as general passenger agent of the Cleveland, Aljron & Columbus Railway Company, with offlea at Cleveland, O., vice Charles H. Rock<well, resigned. The appointment is to take effect the first of the month.

Three St. Lou in Lines. The city now has three lines to St. Louis which connect with thirty lines, to different points farther West. There has been considerable travel from this city to Western points, by way of Chicago. Now the St. Louis lines hope to secure the greater share of the patronage. The advantage at St. Louis is that all roads enter one passenger station, and the traveler does not have to leave the building to change car*. The Big Four, Vandalla ana Indiana, Decatur & Western all have St. Louis lines. The first regular train over the new L, D. & W. route left the city last night at 11:15, and reached St. Louis on time this morning. The sleeping-car attached was well filled.

Th* Oar Movement. The lack of cars Is one of the reasons why the freight traffic last week was smaller than the week before. The movement of cars on the local lines was as follows: New Monon, 620; Indianapolis, Decatur & Western, 546; Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton, 763; Lake Erie & Western, 588; Pennsylvania lines, Indianapolis & Vlncenne*, 930; Louisville division 801, Chicago division 536, Indianapolis division 2,310; Peoria & Eastern lies.

Total, 21,125; empty cars, 6,056; grand total. 26,180. Lftqaor On Private Cara. Recently the question of liquor on private cars has been discussed. Many general officers have declared that they only permit enough liquor on their cars to be handy in case of an accident There is one car inside of which there never is any liquor. That is the car of General-Man-ager Stevens, of the Chesapeake & Ohio. Mr. Stevens Is not what is usually called a temperance man, but he is so opposed to drinking that he will not approve a bill for supplies purchased at a' store that handles liquor In any form, Woodbury Resign*. P. N. Woodbury, chief clerk to Superintendent Riley, of the Peoria & Eastern, has resigned, to take effect the 1st of the menth. Poor health caused the resignation. He will be transferred to some other deipartment. where the work will not be so heavy. Mr. Woodbury will be succeeded by Frank Darrach, chief clerk In the trainmaster’s department, and Darrach’s work there vyill be done by Fred C. Briggs. Wreck. On the Pan-Handle. Columbus, O., November 25.—An eastbound dressed beef train broke in two and ran together in a tunnel near Steubenville. and train* on the Pan-Handle have been delayed for fifteen hours, the wreck completely blocking the road.

HARRISON AND RILEY. Conspicuous In the Christmas Nnniher of the Ladles* Home Journal. In the Christmas number of the Ladies' Home Journal occurs the prefatory article of a series of papers by ex-Presideot Harrison on "This Country of Ours." These are narratives, discussion and expressions of opinion. Following is an extract: "A lynching is a usurpation—a dethronement of our constitutional king—the law —and the crowning of a cruel and unbridled tyrant. No excuse nor extenuation should be allowed, for none will hold In a State where the courts are in the orderly exercise of their powers, and the judges are subject to impeachment. The persons who are the victims of mob violence are mostly not the rich and the Influential, but the ignorant and the friendless—those of whom an undue influence with courts and juries can not be predicated; and the imputed crimes are mostly of a nature to exclude the sympathy of the trial officers. The feet of justice may well be quickened without any loss of dignity or certainty; but the inquest, the open trial, the judicial sentence and execution are the constitutional rights of every man accused of crime; and every citizen is under the/ highest obligation to make the case his own when they are denied to any other citizen. A lynching brutalizes those who take part in it. and demoralizes those who consent to or excuse the act. Grime is not repressed, .but stimulated. The evidence has not been taken; and to his friends the man is a victim tvhose blood calls for revenge. The frequency of this high crime against the law, and the Immunity th-at attends Its commission in our country have suggested an organized movement for its repression. As a nation we are inexpressibly shamed by these lynchings, and a broad movement on national lines to educate public sentiment, and to enliven the slumbering consciences of our citizens is desirable and timely. There should be a medal of honor for the sheriff or jailer who, at the risk of his life, and in the face of an inflamed community, defends his prisoner against the mob. The man who loathes the guilty and cowering wretch in his custody, and yet. dies to defend him from a mob because the law makes it his duty to keep him and to present him before the lawful tribunal, is worthy of a monument. I can think of no higher test of the loyalty of a soul to duty.” The magazine also contains a poem, "At the Gate,” by James Whitcomb Riley. It Is illustrated by A. B. Frost. WEST INDIANAPOLIS FIREMEN. Farther DI»cn»*Ion About the Reorganisation of the Department. The West Indianapolis firemen were Incensed Saturday night at the Intimation by a Councilman that some of them had been intoxicated and that insurance agents, manufacturers and others had demanded that the department be reorganized. The firemen deny charges^ intoxication. They admit that some of them occasionally take a drink, but they say this is true also of other public officer* of the suburb. There is nothing in the printed rules prohibiting firemen from taking stimulants. Chief Baskerville believes that his company will compare favorably with any other in the country ■with rfegard to the use of intoxicating drinks. The firemen will not Relieve that the manufacturers have b^n making complaint against them, as they have received /Verbal and writen praise from every firm whose fires they have extinguished. x , . . Electrician Williams sent in his resignation on Saturday. It is said that he got tired of the uncertainty in fire department matters, but he said that his only reason for resigning is mat he has a better place awaiting him. He asks that his resignation take effect next Sunday. It Is not likely that the firemen will give up their places without making an effort to have a hearing on the alleged charges. They hold that it is impossible, under the rules, to dismiss firemen offhand for trivial charges; that warning and suspension comes before dismissal, and that the Council can not consistently discharge any of the firemen at the meeting to-night. There is a wish amongmem that whatever is to be done may be done quickly. ^ , FRIENDS’ CHURCH. The New Bnlldlngr To Be Dedicated Next Sunday.

The new Friends’ church, at Home avenue and Alabama street, will be dedicated next Sunday. The dedicatory sermon will be preached by the Rev. Benjamin F. Trueblood, LL D.. of Boston. The congregation held its farewell service In the old church In Delaware street last night. It has worshiped there for thirty-nine years. The new church is a plain brick structure, in keeping with the general ideas of the denomination. It cost $30,000. Indiana Po*tma*ter*. Special to The Indianapolis News.

Action Not Politicly Knovrn l ntil Aosv — Relnliolil’w Present Wherenlionta Tnknown—Story of His Conviction—Story of Pardon.

Louis E. Reinhold, who was sent to the penitentiary from this city in June. 1891. for ten years for conspiracy to commit burglary, has been a free man since October 12. He was pardoned on that date upon the recomemndatlon of many Indianapolis people. It is not generally known that he has been released from prison. He did not tell the prison officials where he intended to take up his new home, and only his relatives and intimate acquaintances here know where he is. It was understood when he left the prison that he had secured a good position with one of the manufacturing companies that had been making goods inside the prison, walls. E'or many years prior to his conviction Reinhold was well known about the justices’ courts of this city. He was for a long time a constable, and later he opened an office for the practice of law. ReinholiP* Arrest and Conviction. In the spring of 1891 a gang of burglars, led by Harry Horton.one of the celebrated "crooks" of the country, came here for "work." It became necessary for them to consult an attorney, and they found their way to Relnhold’s office. The testimony on the trial .indicated that Reinhold became well acquainted with the men who made up the gang. In May, Horton and his “pals” were arrested for robbing a house in the northeastern part of the city. In order to secure a light sentence Horton confessed, and in tl^t confession implicated Reinhoid, who V’as indicted on the charge of conspiring lo commit burglary. Public sentiment was considerably aroused at that time, and after an exciting trial Reinhoid was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years. Horton was sentenced for two years. How the Pardon Was Obtained. Those who sought and secured the pardon for Reinhoid represented to the Governor that tho sentence was too severe; that Horton and the other professional burglars have served their sentence, and have been free men for some time. Pierce Norton., the special Judge who tried the case, joined in asking the Governor for the pardon, and John S. Duncan, who assisted the prosecuting attorney, wrote to the Governor that he believed at the time the verdict was returned, and Has believed ever since, that the punishment was too severe. John VV. Holtzman, ex-prosecuting attorney, wrote a note lo the Governor saying he had no objection to make to the pardon. Three of the grand jurors and eleven of the petit jurors signed the petition for the pardon. The officer* of the State prison north represented to the Governor that Reinhoid was a model prisoner. During the four years he was in prison he did not give the prison officials any trouble. He always declared that he was innocent of the charge on which he was convicted, and that he was the victim of a conspiracy formed by the professional burglars. DULY CUy’sTATISTICS.
