ridge
The next day Parker. Brown. Howard i and the woman were arrested.

Prosecutor's .Explanation. When asked why lie continued the cases ; until after election, Prosecutor Holmes said he did so at the request of the police and the attorney for the defense. Holmes said patrolman Carter, who made tue ar- j rests, said that the man who did the shooting had not yet been found, and for that reason requested the continuance James Lott, a colored attorney, appeared for the defendants. Cass Connoway, who was acting as Judge, said he did not know anything about the continued cases, as the prosecutor and the police arranged all the trials. Connoway is acting in the place of Judge Whallon, who is attending the charity conference at Ft. Wayne. The case of another negro who was arrested for selling mortgaged goods was continued until October z9. Prosecutor Holmes said he had it continued at the request of the defendant and his at tor

In one year, o one-fourth of Mayor BookwaJter'a tot debt paying was made, not out "current rgvenuee,” aa he statee. but out, of the sinking fund tax which he refuses to include with his "14 cents" of city taxes. Her# is a record that, while U,* 730.60, the debt paid, was that of annexed towns, 110.000 was of Mayor Bookwalter's own Issue of "emergency bonds,’’ and (9.000 was of the fire department and City Hospital laaue. of which (M.MO 2* of the proceeds were turned over to Mayor Bookwalter by hla predecessor (a# shown by the report of City Comptroller Breunig for 1901. page 4). and expended by him In payment for engine-houses and the ad-

been paid out of the general revenues | Mayor Bookwalter ought to lead an nr1.0*0 00 j chest ra he has such an unusual faculty
, for beating time.
I believe this dispones of all the answers that Mayor Bookwalter has offered to the criticisms of his financial record, except hi* statement that I am "regarded as a literary man by financiers, and by literary people as a financier." This, like Mayor Bookwalter’s other financial arguments, ts founded on a mistake a* to facts. In literary circles a financier Is universally understood to be a person who has ability to get other people's money away from them, and to hang on to his own. I challenge the production of a solitary person suspected of literary attainments who has ever charged me with either quality. My Interest in Mayor Bookwalter's financial record arises from the fact that, although I am « resident of Indiana. I have passed through Missouri several times, and have
acquired a habit of asking ror a diagrar when a gentleman undertakes to spring a
miracle on me.

He is not a resident of Indianapolis, and if he attempts to vote here he will be challenged He ueed to live at the comer of Laurel street and English avenue.

Promise of Sbufelton Not Fulfilled-— The Politics of the Case. The new East market building was to open to-day, In order that the marketers might be ready for to-morrow's market, according to the statement of Thomas P. Shufelton several days ago, but it was apparently no nearer opening than when he made the promise. It was made in reply to inquiry about the report that the administration had decided on the quiet not to open it until after the city election, in order that It might be free to promise more than one voter the same stand and not break promises before election day. Shufelton was not found to-day. The assistant market-master, Louis Bauer, when asked why the new building was not opened, said the marketers could not get their stands made in time. He said the , firms that were making the Iron stands | were busy with other work and could not I complete them In time, i There has been a sharp contest for the ! desirable positions next to y?hat will be ! much-traveled alleys. Some of those who ; sell on the market charged, several days 1 ago. that the market would not be ooened until after the election, despite Shufelton s : promise. It is said that there are 600 or i COO votes at stake In the market. The | new buildings were dedicated by a charity | fair about three weeks ago. — I TO SPEAK IN OLD ROADHOUSE..

George T. Breunlg, city comptroller, at noon to-day received one bid for the Northwestern-avenue bridge bonds, and that bid was for only (26,000.

The failure to receive more bids is attributed by the city comptroller, who talked with bond buyers, trust companies and bankers, to the present condition of the money market. He was Informed by ' all of them that there Is no market for i bonds at the present time, especially for bonds that bear only 3»4 per cent inter- ■ est, which Is the rate specified In the | Northwestern-avenue bridge bond ordinance.
