Mr. Hoy Be, who has been in the city nearly three weekn ami on the utand In the circuit court on direct examination for a little more than three days, con Id not In all Instancon obtain the leiact measurement, but bin figures, rti believes, are nulmtaritlally correct. In figuring on Installation of a lightIng ayntem In the hotel building, for (he purpose of coinparitton and ne In fine trial, a different system than that used by the local concern was employed. Ills tcntlmony Is contradicted by witnesses for the plaintiff corporation. They say they were told to accomplish certain result, supplying a great many light, but which order they claim wait partially countermanded after they had progresHed too far In the Installation of the system to make changes. Hy the original orders which the Craighead witnesses testified were given them, the plaintiff corporation claims it was as economical with electric wire as was possible for It to be. Other electrical experts will follow Mr. Royse. The trial will likely requlro a week or two more. It started on March 13 and has been heard continuously excepting three days. , The arrest of Attorney Henry U. Johnson and K. W. Craighead, for quarreling Monday afternoon, will probably be revoked. Special Judge John I Kupe Informed the men he would not bo so lenient If the offense wan repeated. Mr. Craighead waa being croHM examined at the time of the quarrel by Mr. Johnson. As soon as the tempers of the two men had subnlded the case waa resumed, without anything more Kerlous than a pnnsage f words resulting in the dignity of 'the court being ruffled.

FAST MAIL SERVICE New Flyer Goes Through on First Tuesday. Mail service in Richmond is bettered to a considerable extent by the new fast mail train between New York and Kansas City, inauguarated
by the Pennsylvania line last Sunday , evening. The train passed through i Richmond for the first, time yesterday! morning at about 10 o'clock, having! left New York Sunday about 6:30 j The train leaves New York four j hours and twenty minutes later than! train 21, which now carries consider- j able mail. It arrives in Kansas City' four hours and thirty minutes ahead 1 of No. 21, thus cutting the time nine!
hours. Competition between the Pennsylvania and the Santa Fe for mails to Kansas City Is said to be responsible for the new train, as the Santa Fe has been taking eastern mail by way of Chicago and beating the Pennsylvania into Kansas City. The new train will now arrive at the latter point thirty minutes ahead of the Santa Fe. The new train is due at Pittsburg at 3:55 a. m.; at Indianapolis at 11:30 a. ni.; at St. Louis at 5 p. m.; and at Kansas City at 1 a. m. No passengers are carried, the train being given over exclusively to mail.
INDIANA PATRONAGE
Still Bothering PresidentJackson Loses Out.
PROMOTERS HOLD ANOTHER MEETING The committee having in charge the drafting of articles of incorporation of the Eastern Indiana Traction com
pany, which it is proposed shall build
a traction line from Union City to
Richmond and from here to Cincinnati by way of Liberty, Brookville, and
Harrison, met in the Commercial Club rooms this afternoon for the purpose of completing their draft and definitely deciding upon several details.
The committee is composed of A. M.
Gardner and Paul Comstock, of this
city, K. R. Beard of Liberty, R. L. Head of Brookville, and I. F. Brinkman of Harrison. The articles of in
corporation prepared by these men
will be submitted to the executive committee having the project in charge at a meeting to be held within a short time. Definite action on the matter will then be taken. It is said that the company will be incorporated at $50,000. Subsidies from various townships through which the proposed line will pass will be relied upon to meet a large portion of the expense.

(rallaJium Special) Washington. March 2. Charles V. Remey is in Washington to talk with President Taft over federal patronage in Indiana. Remey is expected to see the president this afternoon. Other Republican politicians from Indiana will be here this week because the president would like to get the matter of marshalship and collectorship settled before congress meets. Remey is advising that E. M. Iee be made marshal and Neal be retained as collector. Remey carries no commission from any particular element of Indiana Republicans. He is the personal representative of collector Neal. Realizing tht Stokes Jackson of of Indiana has probably lost out in his race for sergeant-at-arms of the house, members of the Indiana delegation are trying now to have him given the position of doorkeeper. W. II. Ryan, ex-congressman from New York, backed by Tammany, has tho votes necessary to make him sergeant-at-arms. This is now conceded even
by Jackson's friends today.

A dirty black felt liat covered a tousled head of "to" colored hair. His eyes were pale sea green, like an alligator, and deeply sunk over a fierce jaw. He arouseu suspicion in the breasts of the s'.euths. Landslip? of Dirt. From his matted hair the dirt seemed to almost flow downward in layers, giving the appearance of a
land-slide. The police thought "Johnnie" whs an anarchist and made him stand up, while they looked over all the pictures of "reds" they had. He wasn't though. He was just dirty. Even anarchists can be cleanly. Outside of "Snowie" the other bums were a commonplace bunch. Patrol man Frank Remmert corraled eight of them in a box car near Beallviow. They made no objection to being arrested. Patrolman Lawier brought in the Connersvide boys. The others ap
plied for sleeping quarters at the city hall and were there arrested. Mayor Zimmerman was much beset to know w-hat to do with the men. for he feared there would not be enough room at the county jail for them. After getting into communication with
Sheriff Steen. he found the stone pile !
was well stocked so he decided to stnd them down. There was one necktie and 39 cents in pennies and nickles in the entire bunch. It took five of the biggest patrolmen of the department to arrest a blind man. last night. Orville Thompson, the sightless one, was drunk, and with Albert Robbins and Ross White, broke into Corey's saloon on Main street. The patrolmen who took Thompson were Menke, Edwards, Weirhake, Little and Longman. The men plead not guilty to drunk this
morning and were committed to jail: until tomorrow. Frank Meyers and James Conaway j
were fined $1 and costs for peddling without a license. They were selling coat hangers. They went to the stone pile along with the bums.

His successor will be named by the county commissioners, but has not as yet been selected. Demareo has been lenient with pri
