Some monttia aco Mr. Duran was dlscuoacd as a candidate. The neames* of thy diatrict convention, which Chairman Thtr&art will call to meet about the middle of August, has led his friends to ask from him‘an aimouncemeftt of hi* candidacy.

Board of Works Intends to Take Summary Action.

Various corporations responsible for the repair of the streets will be “on the green carpet" before the Board of Public Works Wednesday. Three weeks ago City Engineer Jeup notified the various corporations to make repairs. The notices went unheeded. He reported the inattention to the board, which sent notices again. To *these notices no attention has apparently been paid. This morning the board notified the corporations to. send representatives to the board's office Wednesday morning for a conference. The board says that unless the best reasons are given, the concerns Will be summarily dealt with. The board will exact strict compliance with its orders, as it wishes every street In the city to be In the best possible condition

To Ask Governor for a Park. Clarence E. Weir presented a petition, largely signed, to-day to the Board of Public Works, asking that efforts be made to Induce Governor Mount to consent to the use of the fifteen acres along Randolph street, south of the Reformatory for Women and Girls, for a public park. The Legislature authorized the city, three years ago, to use this land, providing the Governor would consent. Governor Matthews declined to give consent, because the trustees of the‘‘institute for the Deaf and Dumb protested. The institute uses the ground for farming purposes, and represented then that it was a source of profit to the State. Mr. Weir said that, with proper representane believed Gdvemor Mount would

X believe the party ought to make a straight-out, ho mat fight for this district, but It Will take a hard fight to win, and R would be folly for any one to go Into It without a united party back of him." v Leon O, Bailey had been the only announced candidate In the Democratic ranks. Mr. Bailey's friends have been assured that Charles M. Cooper, the nominee In 1896. will not seek renomination. When Mr. Duran was first discussed Ms friends say he received warm encouragement from party leaders. Mr. Dunn's Pntollc Work. He has never been a candidate for office. and the only political office he ever held was that of State Librarian. He has been prominent In many of the reform movements, among which were those which resulted In the State tax law, in the township library laws, and the election law providing tor the Australian system. He was one of the committee that preferred the Indianapolis city charter. He Is known also as an

author.

Mr. Dunn and his friends say an active caovass will be made in hla behalf. lOne of his friends said that Mr. Dunn would have bitter opposition from the Frenzel-Lieber forces, and that une of this element was assured that $50,000 would be spent to defeat him. If he were nominated. The friends of Will E. English, who hoped t* see- him a candidate for Con-, grass, have abandoned their efforts. Mr. English's absence with the army In Cuba puts him out of the question. John W. Kern, who was talked of as a possible selection, has told his friends that he is not a candidate, and will not bo. Mr. Kern’s name is used, however, In connection with the United States senator-

Man Who May Have Been Robbed— Doctors Did Nat Agree.

Methodists Discuss Advisability of Open Air Preaching.

Robert Overton was found unconscious In an alley near Eleventh street Saturday night, and he was taken to his home, 355 Weet Fourteenth street. It was two hours before he revived. Dr. Flora McIvor, of the City Dispensary, attended him. She concluded that the man had struck his heed in falling from his wagon, which stood near where he was found. Overton was afterward sent to the City Hospital, when the doctors there reported to the police that the man had been drunk. Dr. Mclvor says this was a mistake, and that the spirits the doctors thought he had taken were spirits erf ammonia, which she had given to revive him. It is thougnt that Overton may have been knocked down and robbed, as $11, which he had when he left homo, was miming, and his pocket had been cut out. SHOT IT HIS STEPFATHER. Colored Boy Who Wished to Protect

His Mother.

The Methodist ministers of the city held their loot meeting before the summer vacation at the Meridian-street ahyreh Ibis morning. The Rev. H. B. Roller, of the Mt. Jackson M. E. church, read a paper on "Open Ahr Preaching.” He aald that political partlee. In order to get votes, engaged speakers for open-air work, and reinforced them with bands, glea clubs and flags. The saloon-keepers, toe aald, opened beer gardens in the summer to attract crowds. Oroceryxnen do not depend entirely ot» saiee at their atorea, but send but salesmen to take orden. “Nowhere," he said, "does the church put forth such effort to reach the people as docs the world. We are rather content with the Idea of having a church building, a minister, a Choir and an audience oC which we need not feel ashamed. We seem to say to the masses, ‘Come within these four walls or go elsewhere,* and the masses go elsewhere. "Shall we close our church doors on Sunday evenings during the summer sea-' son? Shall we make less effort to save humanity because the temperature is high? I-et the mlnlater show the same seal through the summer that he does In the winter. During the summer it might be welh to extend the mission of the church beyond iu four walls, and give some of the seed a chance to fall among the thorns and upon stony ground. Preach in the open air. It Is not a new method. Open air preaching is Biblical. During the Mosaic era religious gatherings were held under the blue aky The establishment of the church on earth owes much to preaching In the onen air. We say the masses have drifted from the church, but the masses say th* churches have deserted them. The poor people seek the park on Sunday and during the unemployed hours. If they do not come to our churches, we roust follow them and give them the gos-

pel."

The paper was followed by active discussion in five-minute speeches. The meeting took no action on the question, each minister feeling free to do as he pleases about holding services in the

c>m air during the summer.

Andrew Campbell, the boy’s step-father. It was related to the police, had a quarrel with his wife, and Robinson thought he was going to strike her. He went into the house for a pistol and opened fire on Campbell, but none of the shots took effect.

RESUMPTION OF THE INVESTIGATION AFTER LONG DELAY.

W. A. Krag Testifies that He Knew Little and Trusted Everything to His Son-In-Lay, C. M. Reynolds—Telegrams.

The favejrtlgatkm into the Krag-Rey-no.us affairs, after an Interval of a number of weeks, wae resumed this morning fa the Circuit Court. S. O. Pickens appeared In behalf of the Western Union Telegraph Company to resist the order of the court that the company produce certain telegrams that passed between the parties interested In the suit between December 20, '97, and January 12, '98. He argued that the telegrams were privileged communication*, and said that the order of the court was defective In that it did not epedfy the particular telegrams wanted or the dates each was sent. Attorneys W. T. Brown, for the assignee, and L. C. Walker, for the receiver, Insisted that the order had tn it all that was necessary to comply with the law. The argument consumed nearly all the morning. Judge Allen reserved his de-

cision until afternoon.

W. A. Krag then went on the stand and told what he knew, or rather what he did not know, of the affairs of the bankrupt company. He testified that he was vice-president, a director and general manager of the company. On Its organization, $10,000 of stock was assigned to him. He said that he knew little of the financial management on the books of the company, as that was left almost altogether In the hands of Charles M. Reynolds. "I had the utmost confidence In Mr. Reynolds, as I have now,” he testified. He did not know who the holders of preferred stock were, nor the amount so held. He never knew the exact condition of the company's affairs until he heard the facts in court. He signed notes at his partner's request. If Reynolds told him that papers were all right,' he signed them. # Left Everything to Reynolds# He never looked Into the books and never made much Inquiry Into any of the financial affairs, leaving them to be conducted by Reynolds. He signed various notes, he testified, noticing single amounts, but had no Idea of the aggregate. His first knowledge that* the affairs of the company were In bad shape, he said, came when he was asked to sign the first mortgage. He knew that A. B. Gates's preferred stock a few days before the assignment had been purchased by the company, and that notes and a mortgage were given tor it, but he did not know why it was done. He thought Nicholas McCarty Harrison also had preferred stock, probably to the amount of $25,000, but he did not know this. He

knew that Charles

drawing out money “to assist relatives, but he never knew the amounts he was drawing, nor never asked about them. He did not know that the sum was $132,000. The attorneys and the court showed by the questions put to the witness astonishment that he would sign his name to notes and mortgages without knowing what would result, but he reiterated, in his answers, the confidence he had in his

son-in-law.

"How old is Mr. ReynoldsT’ asked

the Court.

"About thirty.’*

"Had he ever been in business before?" •"Not mercantile business," the witness answered. He explained that he and his *ons, his daughter and her husband, Charles M. Reynolds, all lived together as a family in one house. He testified that before the company assigned he and five other stockholders voted themselves about $8,000 "additional

pay" and divided the sum.

Judge Alien this afternoon sustained the petition of the Western Union to set aside the order in regard to furnishing telegrams, hut will permit the attorneys on the other side to modify the order |p

conform to law.

Protest Against Fees Asbced. Attorney O. B. Jamieson, of Jamieson & Joes, appeared in Judge Harvey's court Saturday afternoon to ask that the firm’s allowance for fees in the Krag-Reynolds receivership be made without further delay. They . petitioned for the same thing several months ago, but named no amount. On Saturday they asked for $1,000. W. H. H. Miller and Lewis C. Walker were also In court. They protested against the amount asked, and Mr. Miller intimated that the demand of excessive and extortionate sums from “dead funds,” and from people who were not in a position to defend themselves had become almost a public scandal- Judge Harvey said he would deal wfth the petition along with several others In the same case some time during this week. o FREE OPEN-AIR CONCERTS

Warming of the State Geologist-

Now the Time to Act.

"I was somewhat surprised yesterday afternoon,” said W. S. Blatchley. State Geologist, to-day, "to find growing on Oak hill. In the northeastern part of the city, several large patches of the true Canada thistle. This is one of the moot pernicious of weeds. It may be recognised by its numerous small heads, which are leas than half the size of those of the common thistle; also, by its slender.stem, seldom more than two feet in hlght, and Its upright, flowing branches It leaves are very prickly, and no «*tock, except sheep, will touch them, and they only when other food is wholly lacking. "Where it gain* a foothold this thistle covers the surface of the earth so thickly that nothing else is visible. One can not see a spear of grass, as the thistle soon crowds it out end smothers It. It is a pient of northern range, which is slowly

face, sending up new stem*, thus multiplying the plant. Where few in numbers they can be killed by pulling them up. Larger patches In level ground can be exterminated only by several plowing*. On hillsides and broken ground they can only be kept down by successive mowing close to the ground. In a few seasons the root stocks will die out, as the leaves ere necessary to prepare nourishment for the plant. Applications of hot brine, kerosene or carbolic acid can also be used to advantage. “Those growing In this city are Just now coming into bloom. They should be mowed at once before they have time to ripen their seeds. Each seed beers a little tuft of hairs—the so-called papyrus —which renders It buoyant and capable of belna carried long distances by the wind. Those on Oak Hill are sufficient In number to seed a thousand acres if left to nature. Other patches may exist in the county, but this Is the only one which has come to my notice. "Now is the time to prevent the spread of the species by destroying the pioneers. A few years ago not more than a dozen stalks of prickly lettuce grew in Marion county. They were neglected and now it flourishes by thousands on every common and piece of waste land In the city, and along every roadside In the country. Every gardener, every farmer, yea, every land-owner in the county must henceforth now and forever pay the penalty of that neglect by continued hoeing.plowing and mowing to keep that weed In subjugation. Thus will it be with the Canada thistle if the few now here are allowed to flourish unmolested. RETURN FROM CHICKAMAUGA.

How

the Governor'* Secretary Found Indiana’s Troops.

Charles E. Wilson, the Governor’s secretary. who returned at noon to-day from a visit to the Indiana troops at Chickamauga, says he found the Indiana men all comfortably situated, and unable to suggest to the Governor anything that would add to their comfort. He was authorized to say to them that If they were in need of anything, the State would undertake to furnish it. Each of the regiments and the two batteries stated that everything needed was being supplied by the Government. The volunteers, Mr. Wilson says, are In excellent health, and are taking on the appear-

ance of seasoned soldiers.

While he was with the One-hundred-and-flfty-eighth yesterday afternoon, an orderly came over from the headquarters of General Brooke with an order to make preliminary preparations for moving. “It was a confidential order,” said the secretary, "but within a half hour it had been whispered all over camp, and everybody was rejoicing. The men are anxious for active service.” While at the camp, Mr. Wilson made special inquiry as to the report that the One-hundred-and-sixtleth Indiana needed additional surgeons. Colonel Gunder, he says, is well pleased with his present force of surgeons. Only one man is in

the regimental hospital.

Montlcello Dispute Battled. A telegram to the Governor from Monti-

cello this afternoon signed by ten citizens representing both side* of the controversy. as to how the company representing that city should be officered, stated

M ' rthat whatever differences that existed

On receipt of the message It was announced that the company would be accepted and the captain was instructed by wire to have his men examined and hold himself In readiness to report here with them. With the acceptance of this company, the State’s quota under the sec-

THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.

AS HB IS SEEN THROUGH THU EYES OF POI LTNEY BIGELOW.

A Cool, Sturdy, Couruyeou*, Independent Fighter, Differing Greatly from HI* European BrotherPatient Under Hardship*.

[Poultney Bigelow in London Time*.] The American regular is different from anything I have yet encountered In the armies of Europe. The Russian ha* abundance of courage; the German Is unequaled for discipline; the Frenchman is a lusty antagonriet when all goes well, and of them all the Hungarian ha* the most of dash and- pluck combined. I leave out Tommy Atklne. for he Is our first cousin. Tne American soldier is of a different composition from any of these. To get an Idea of the American, regular the European would have to make a composite picture containing something of the Boer of South Africa and something of the English officer who has seen rough work in Indio. The ground element of the European soldier is the peasant. In America there are not nor ever have been peasant®, and

consequently our enlisted men have wholly lacked the element of docile servility which makes discipline in continental armies comparatively easy. The American regular gets a minimum pay of $13 a month—small enough, to be sure, considering the average rats of wages in civil life. Yet not only la It sufficient to attract good men. to the ser vice, but It hold* them practically fo» life. The quality which Impressed me most In the regulars at Tampa was the average intelligence and good semee. Of course, I do not compare them here with picked volunteers, but with troops of European armies. In America there are no guard or elite troops in the European sense, and one regiment of regulars Is preeumably Just as good as any other, at least from the commanding general’s point of view. I have never heard a regular officer curse a man, or even use offensive language to him; on the contrary. I have been struck by the wholesome relation between officers and men. I can not say as much for certain volunteer regiments at Camp Alger. Spartan Simplicity. When we first came here, all in dusty eagerness, from the North, we vied with one another in a severe Spartan simplicity. The O’Shayghnessy, from Chicago, took us up to his room and proudly exhibited his kit—another pair of socks, another shirt, two handkerchiefs, a cake of soap and a blanket, all wrapped up in a waterproof sheet, tied with rope; that, in addition to what he stood up In and what he carried in his pocket, constituted his outfit. The waterproof sheet, he explained, not only served as a wrapping for his kit, but In combination with a heap of brushwood which he would cut with his Jack-knife, would constitute his bed and his canopy when tjie rainy season In Cuba should set In. He rather apologized for the soap; it would be handy, he explained, for washing his clothes, In case such a proceeding should become desire able. Moreover, he confessed shamefacedly, that on the day upon which we made our triumphal entry into Havana, he had a dandified notion of washing himself. But he put himself right with us on this point when some one tauntingly S2n<l' "Anyway, what’s the good of soap unless you carry a towel along?" "Towels!” said the O’Shaughnossy contemptuously—"towels! Did ever any one hear of a man needing a towel when he’d got another shirt” I was secretly conscious of the possession of a kilt-bag with all -sorts of wildly absurd things In It, such as a comb and brush, and a patent safety razor, and— shall I admit it?—a folding shaving mirror; so next morning I severely edited my outfit and pecked a big parcel back to New York. During the voyage to Cuba the men had a* much liberty as though on a picnic. Guard was mounted at night, for reasons thet all could understand, but during the day officers and men were at liberty to seek rest and recreation much as they choee. The harshest rule made during the voyage was that no one should smoke between decks. 'This was ordered not from any precedent In the navy, but for the very good reason that our cargo w as largely made up of hay balea, which were on the same deck as the sleeping quarters of a large portion of the men. Patient Under Hardships. During the whole of this trip I did not hear of a single man being drunk, nor did I hear any complaints on account of the necessarily hard life they were compelled to lead. Not a single man had a bunk or a hammock during the entire trip. There was room for very few down below. Most of the two companies had to sleep on the two upper decks, which In this particular craft were open to the weather. Thus when It rained—and It did rain very hard off the Cuban coast—the men sleeping on the decks had to get up and stand huddled together through the night—at least, until the rain was past. Most of them were drenched through several times. However, all of them were so glad to get away from Tampa and see something of actual service that they had no fault to find. These same men had traveled some three or four thousand miles by rail before reaching Tampa, had been twelve days on the journey, during which they had been treated worse than cattle. This I mention here only in parenthesis to Illustrate how men of so much Intelligence and familiarity with good living are able to submit to treatment which would be regarded as barbarous by officers In the Russian army. On the afternoon of May 11. at 3 o’clock, these two companies of United States Infantry were ordered to disembark from the transport and go ashore to fight anything that happened to present Itself. Our expedition had been coasting along the Cuban shore from Havana all the way to Cabana*;~some thirty-odd miles to westward. To measure the courage of the men who here went ashore we must understand just bo®- much danger there was In the undertaking from their own point of view. Presumably the Spanish garrisons from Havana all the way to Cabanas knew of our presence. If they did not. It was thetr fault, for we coasted near to shore the whole day on a very conspicuous paddle steamer painted red. Remarkable Coolaes*. We anchored within half a mile of shore and disembarked a dozen regulars on a beach of which we knew nothing excepting that it was about a mile from Cabana®, in which, according to our Cuban guides, there were or had been a garrison of 2,000 Spaniards. According to all the probabilities, a Spanish force would be on hand to dispute our landing. Those first few men Who landed through the surf went as cooMy as though by apodal invitation of friends on shore. There was no parade

of fine senttownt, no handkhaktng, no addrees from the commanding officer, no serving out of stimulating drink, which sometime® makes men caVelee® of danger. Thick tropical tnwhe* lined the beach, and behind theoe we felt confident that Spanish sharpshooters must be lying In ambuSh, with possibly a small piece of artillery that would open upon our crazy transport a® soon a* we should have got the bulk of our tending party under way for the Shore. Every private who went on this trip knew the situation as well as his officers. There was an ominous silence on *hore, and no unnecessary talk on board. We had no blue jacket® on board, and had therefore to make use of the civilian crew of the transport, four men, with a coxswain named John Donovan. This same John Donovan knew well that If he were caught ashore he would be treated a* an Inourgem or pirate along with the rest-of has crew ofununlformed ft-llbuster*. But Jcftin Donovan never bothered his head about International law, more than to remember that he was a thoroughbred Irishman, with a coating of citizenship, and a profound contempt for the “dago” and ail others not of his own skin and kidney. ’ Under Fire. John Donovan was a splendid picture of manhood as he stood up In the stern cf the whaleboat, steering with his long -sweep, and guiding his crew to where he thought the surf least dangerous. That was not saying much, for the transport was anchored off a coral reef, extending as far as the eye could reach In each dirooticn. The wave® broke high on thia reef, and the men had to spring out of the boats and drag them ashore for a distance of perhaps one hundred yard®. Some of the boats capsized outright. and In each case there were many minutes when the different crews were up to their necka in the breakera, holding aloft their rifles and wondering why the Spaniards did not seise this opportunity of shooting them to piece*. As there were not enough deck hands c.n the transport to row more than one small boat at a time, the commander called for volunteers. There was no lack of them from among the private®. One was my German friend, Buerger, who had served in the Franco-German war, had then served In the United State® navy, had been transferred to the army, and had already served Uncle Sam eighteen years. I had many a chat with him during the trip, and found him one of the few happy men I have ever met. He loved the service, had no idea q( being anything else than a regular soldier, spoke English with a strong native accent, was proud of the German Emperor, but thought Germany was going to the devil from too much government.

DECIDED AGAINST THE CHURCH.

A Verdict for in Favor of Mr®. Smock.

The Jury in the Garden Baptist church trial, in the Circuit Court, returned a verdict, late Saturday afternoon, for the plaintiff, Mrs. Louisa Smock, for $6,000. She had asked damages for slander. It was the general opinion among those who heard the trial that a verdict for the plaintiff would be given, but the amount of the damage fixed seemed to be a surprise. The defendant's attorneys this morning said that they would ask for a new trial. The defendants were the Rev. Charles L. Berry, now of Richmond; Dr. E. C. Thomas, Harry A. Thomas, J. O. Foss. William C. Davis and John A. Burnett, and the plaintiff's complaint was in regard to a trial In the church in wulch charge* had been made against her. o ANDREWS WILL ACCEPT.
