INGALLS LOVE SEEMS INTENSE Reaches Cincinnati and Still r Gives Praise for W. J. Bryan. PREDICTS HIS ELECTION fcAYS THAT NEBRASKAN HAS DEEPENED AND BROADENED IN TEN YEARS AND BELIEVES HIM MAN OF DESTINY. Publishers' Pressl Cincinnati, O., July 14. M. E. Ingalls, former president of the Big Four Railroads, returned from his five months' tour of Europe with the commission of the American Civic Federation today. The trip, he said, was a memorable one in every respect. The commission went thoroughly and exhaustively into he subjects assigned to it by the federation and Mr. Ingalls believes that its report when made., will be of great importance. This report will not be forthcoming until October, and perhaps not then. "Mr. Ingalls, were you correctly quoted in New York dispatches to the effect that you are a Bryan man and will vote for him as the next president?" he was asked. "I saw many Interviewers in New Yorkscores of them," said he, they took up a great deal of my time when I was very busy, and I guess they have gotten out of me all I might have said to the Cincinnati reporters. As to Mr. Bryan, I do think ho will be the next Democratic candidate and the next president. It Is a long time off and many things may happen, but, under present conditions, I think Mr. Bryan is the man. He has deepened and broadened since ten years ago and he is a man of destiny. I think that ought to cover the ground at this Hme." C C. & L A FAUDULENT MARRIAGE Serious Charge Placed Against Rrrf Brotherton, Who Until Recently was . Railroad Operator at Muncle and at Fowlerton Warrant for Arrest. Muncle, Ind., July 14, (Spl.) Orders have been sent to Marshal Joseph Prewltt, of Crawfordvllle, by Chief Beldomrldge, to hold Roy Brotherton, a former C. C. & I operator in Muncle, on a charge of fraudulent marriage. Brotherton was married on June 20 to Miss Julia Dennlhan, of 300 East North street, daughter of Dennle DenDihan, proprietor of a 5 cent and 10 cent store on South Walnut street. On that day it seemed that father and daughter appeared In Crawfordsvllle and the wedding was arranged, a justice of the peace performing the ceremony. It seems that Brotherton accepted the young woman's hand in marriage to escape threatened proceedings. The girl returned to Muncle and Brotherton immediately absented himself from Crawfordsville and his post of duty as station agent of the Big Four railroad there. He has failed to live up to his marital vows and consequently his arrest Is asked. To his fellow employes at Crawfordsville he said ho was going to San Francisco. Brotherton was stationed at tho Muncle offices of the C. C. & L. rail- . road for several months and a few weeks ago was transferred to Fowlerton.

Three thousand silver dollars dumped off the end of an American Express wagon amid a gaping crowd, were quickly transferred to the vaults of the Second National Bank yesterday morning. Three thousand dollars weighing an ounce apiece totals the weight at 1S7 pounds. The money came in three large canvas sacks and there was little -time lost in getting It from the Wagon Into the bank and when the messenger had the money signed for he heaved one good healthy sish'of relief. The three sacks were a burdensome load, and the express messenger was willing to drop them to the floor of the bank and then drag them to the safe. The silver came from the sub-treasury at Cincinnati. Owing to the demand on the banks for change in making up the pay rolls of the various factories and the railroad it becomes necessary, at certain times, to have a large number of silver dollars on hand.

Tingle, formerly Richmond people and their visitors, some of them Wayne county people, will have cause to long remember Carnival week, as a result of their experience last night. Mrs. Tingle, Mrs. Moore and daughter, of Cambridge City, Mrs. Meggs and son, of Indianapolis and Mrs. Mary Griffin and granddaughter, the child of Mrs. Grace Griffin Beard, of Cambridge City, had driven in a carriage to the Carnival grounds. Mrs. Tingle left the vehicle at the gate to go in search of Mrs. Beard, who had preceded her to the grounds. She had been gone but a short time, when the music from the Merry-go-Round started . up, frightening the horse, which at once began madly lurching. Mrs. Moore, who held the lines, could not control the animal, which began backing, and ' before some men standing near the gate could render assistance, the maddened animal had backed the carriage into the canal. Mrs. Meggs and Mrs. Henly jumped out, but the others went into the canal with the carriage. J. E. W. Henry, who had grabbed the bridle, at once left the horse and sprang Into the water just in time to rescue the Beard child, which is an infant one year old, from drowning. Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Griffin w;ere assisted our, but were dripping wet. The Meggs child, who is nine, was caught in the carriage, and although he was longer than anyone in the water, he was not harmed. He waded out by himself. He Climbed Vesuvius. Edgar Forsyth, a Wayne County boy who is now abroad, recently climbed Mount Vesuvius and took a look Into the crater of that noted old .volcano.

FINAL ACTION The Closing of North 14 Street o Come Up Wednesday. I LAW SUIT IS INEVITABLE BELIEVED THAT BOARD OF WORKS WILL NOT CHANGE ASSESSMENTS OF DAMAGES AND REMONSTRATORS WILL APPEAL. Next -Wednesday morning the Board of Public Works will have another round with the North Fourteenth street closing matter and it is said that the remonstrators will make a hard fight to impress the board that the damages allowed are not commensurate with actual property damage that will result to them if 1 the street is closed as petitioned for by the American Seeding Machine Company. The opinion prevails that as the Board of Works has spent considerable time with the matter that it feels that the awards of damages have been justly made and for this reason will not be likely, to make any changes in the figures. The Final Step. As the formal order has been made to close the street from E to the Pennsylvania tracks, the action of the Board next Wednesday will be final, insofar as it is concerned and if the remonstrances are overruled as expected, the next step will be the actual closing of the street. It is known, however, that If this Is attempted the remonstrators are in readiness to take more stringent steps than heretofore and that a suit to enjoin the city from closing the street will be Immediately filed. Law Suit is Certain. It seems from the present status of the situation that such a suit is in evitable and this means that there will be a long and hard fight in the courts to ascertain the rights of the city In this respect. In the meantime the Hoosier Drill Company would not be enabled to proceed with the enlargement of its plant. Divorce Suit Filed. Suit for divorce on account of infidelity was filed in the circuit court Saturday by Attorney Paul ' Cornstock representing Walter D. Bresher vs. Maude L. Bresher. Cruel treatment is also alleged.

THE COMPLAINT Richmond Man Direct Cause of Proposed Change in State Law. PULLMAN COMPANY RATES INDJANA RAILROAD COMMISSION DECLARES ITS PURPOSE TO HAVE ITS SCOPE WIDENED BY GENERAL ASSEMBLY. As a direct result of a Richmond traveling man's complaint against the Pullman Sleeping and Parlor Car Co. the next session of Indiana's General Assembly will be called upon by the Indiana Railroad Commission to widen its scope of jurisdiction so that it shall Include that company. The rather inconsistent situation is now presented of the Indiana Railroad Commission being enabled to regulate freight and passenger rates of all railroads in the State, but of being unable to touch the Pullman Company, whose schedule of fares is as varying, according to mileage, as the winds of March. Complaint Bears Fruit. One week ago the Richmond traveling man informed the Indiana Railroad Commission that the seat fare ia a Pullman car from Richmond to Indianapolis was 50 cents, while from Indianapolis to Terre Haute the fare was 25 cents. Pullman car officials at Indianapolis sought to .. deny this, but later the fact was proved to the. Indiana Commission's entire satisfaction. Last evening the Richmond man received the following letter from the commission: Dear Sir: In response, to your communication of the 1st Inst, addressed to the Chairman of the Commission, I am directed to say that in the judgment of the Commission, the Pullman Car Company is not subject to its con trol. It has been uniformly held by courts that the Pullman Palace Car Company is not a common carrier and that such being the case, it is not controlled by the provisions of the late law, for the reason that Bleeping car companies are not named in the law, but the law applies only to common carriers. We haye to suggest that we will say in our annual report to tue Legislature and the Governor that the law should be . amended In this particular, so as to include sleeping car companies.
