HOLT HAS RESIGNED.

HIS RESIGNATION HAS BEEN ACiCEPTED BY MAYOR TAGOART,

Indianapolis Democrat* Express Satisfaction With the Action Taken—Bit Scandal Over a Sewer Contract

Mil

A"

Indianapolis, Oct. 7.—Sterling R. Holt 1B no longer a member of the board of park commissioners. At 12:55 today he signed bis name to a resignation and stepped out of offlt^, The resignation was as follows: "T. Taggart, Mayor—I hereby tender my resignation as a member of the park board. On account of rumors now in circulation, and not wishing to embarrass the administration, I take this action. "Sterling R. Holt." "Accepted October 7, 1897.

T. Taggart, Mayor."

All the morning the mayor and the Democratic city committee were besieged with proninent Democrats, who demanded the removal of Holt from the park board. These requests begun last night after the publication in the News of the full facts in the case involving Holt and the Fulmer-Seibert Co. They were emphatic and general enough to convince the mayor and his friends that it was the almost unanimous wish of the Democracy that Holt resign or be removed from office. The mayor received the advice of the men who tendered it with deference, but did not commit himself to any of them as to what hiB intentions were. Close friends, however, eaid that the mayor had made up his mind. At noon, when Mr. Holt came into the hotel he and Mayor Taggart had a consultation. It did not last long. When the mayor came out his face was grave. Without much ceremony he showed to the newspaper men a small piece of hotel note paper, on which the above was written. fMn. Holt did not write the body of the resignation, but only the signature. The ink with which the mayor wrote "accepted" was not dry.

THE MAYOR RETICENT.

It did not take the news of the resignation long to get abroad.. There was much rejoicing among Democrats, who felt that the regular Democracy had been lifte-I* out of the mire by Holt's action. Mayor Taggart was asked if he had requested tho resignation of Mr. Holt. "Mr, Holt has resigned," be said. "Did he have the preference of resigning Br being removed?" "Mr. Holt has resigned," said the mayor. "That is all I can say about the subject."

Intimate friends of the mayor say that he made up his mind early in the morning to give Mr. Holt the easiest way out of official life by permitting him to resign. The mayor's friends realized that the social and business relations between the two men were so close that this would be harrowing to the mayor, but summary action was expected by all. There is no doubt in the minds of the mayor's intimate advisers that he asked Holt to resign. Some even say he wrote with his own hand the resignation which Mr. Holt signed.

men who have gone out on strike was caused by the discharge of Richard Kissinger, who is employed in that department, and who is a member of the patent machine tinners' union of this city, which belongs to the Federation of Labor. It is claimed that Kissinger's discharge was caused by the manager, who claims Kissinger asked one of the girls in the mill for a kiss. Kissinger denies this, and wants an investigation. The press committee of the union says that the men are out because the company refuses to investigate. The leaders say the young woman, who it is alleged was insulted by the request for a kiss, is an Austrian, and cannot understand a word of English. -v

MAY BE A BREAD WAR

ADVANCE IN PRICE OF WHEAT CAUSES BAKERS TO CONFEK.

Representative! of the American Baking Co. Were In Conference With Miller Brothers Wednesday Afternoon.

Ever since the price of wheat went up

to the $1 mark and McKinley prosperity be-

ean

ing the question of the price of bread.

Just at the present everything is favorable

to an open war,

such "as this city has not experienced in many years. There is dissatisfaction on all sides and the spirit tvith which the bakers are maintaining the justice of their positions can mean little else than a bread

war. The bakers of Terre Haute, as well as of

Democrats regard Holt's political career for The other bakers, however, did r.ot as at an end. They have repudiated him as

a Democrat ever since the last national campaign, when he resigned the chairmanship of the Democratic state central committee six weeks before the election. Democrats who were on the state ticket then said this hurt the chances for carrying Indiana more than anything else and some of them charge the defeat of the state ticket to Holt's course. Holt has not been prominent in this campaign. He attended several meetings of the gold Democratic committee, but did nothing else. It is relfted that Taggart would have been chairman of the state central committee last year had he not kept out of the way to advance the effort of Holt to be elected.

Mr. Holt and Mayor Taggart have been close friends for many years. They are business associates, and Holt, Taggart and Albert Sahm are the owners of the Grand Hotel. Mayor Taggart is not interested in the Holt Ice & Cold Storage Co.

THE FULMER-SEIBERT CHARGES. There is a question as to whether Holt has seen the end of the charges made against iiim by the Fulmer-Seibert company. The exposition of the facts has also raised a question as to the validity of the contract under which the sewers was built. Concerning HolS personally, it. is alleged that the facts clearly establish that as a city officer he was indirectly, if not directly, interested in the sewer contract. This was in violation, it is alleged, of the following section of the charter: "No officer of such city shall, either directly or indirectly, be a party to or in any manner interested in any contract or agreement, either with such city, for any matter, vause or thing, or by which any liability or indebtedness is in any way or manner created or passed upon, authorized or approved by any officer, board or employe of such city."

Mr. Holt is a stockholder anl director in the Union Trust Co., which has been advanoing money to Fulmer & Seibert for their sewer work.

The validity of the firm's contract has b?en brought into discussion. Mr. Holliday, president of the Union Trust Co., says that he is not a lawyer, and cannot discuss the legal questions Involved but he says the city can not ,use work put in by others and not pay for! it.

THE CONTRACT NC)T INVALID. City Attorney Curtis was asked if any interest that Holt might have in the contract between the Fulmer-Seibert company and the city would invalidate that contract and relieve the property owners from the obligation to pay for the sewer constructed under the contract. Mr. Curtis said thai as an offhand opinion he would say that it would not, as the courts would hardly go behind the letting of the contract. Another attorney eaid the contract would not be invalid unless it could be shown that the board of ptibUc works knew that there »vas collusion or Illegal interests in it.

The county grand jury will meet October 20th. Suggestions were heard to(jay that tha sewer controversy be submitted to the jury for investigation.

COMPLEXION OF THE CAMPAIGN.

Republicans Declare It H«s Changed-"-Dem-ocrats Denouncing Holt. The Holt sewer controversy has become the common political topic. Republicans say the complexion of the campaign has changed and that things are now "coming their way" unmistakably. Many of them are disposed to admit that the administration is not directly implicated in the 'acts alleged in the Robiason-Fulmer affidavits, but they say the force of tie charge cannot be brok.-1 and that it inevitably affects the ciry officials, who through friendship for Hoit, took part la the efforts to bring about a settlement of the claim of the contractors.

The Democracy is fiercely denouncing Sterling R. Holt for the predicament in which they allege he has brought the party. Groups of Democrats are to be found* and keard everywhere disnming the situation. The silver Democrats are particu:arly veheBiesi in their remarks. They say Holt is a geld Democrat has been a thorn.»n the Deai*cratic body a long time, and that be is responsible for the circumstances under which the administration is now placed on the d?tensiva-

This is a. reflection upon the medical profession, for the county secretaries each quarter complain that the doctor will not report. As the law (R.

The night following his arrival at Greencastle, Huguley .made out and tried to pass a check with the name of a prominent merchant on it. Failing in this he returned to Indianapolis, where he met with hette? success, obtaining money on a check.

At this point Huguley's movements have failed to be chronicled accurately to Terre Hauteans heretofore. Instead of being arrested at once, as .was told in the papers, he boarded the train for Cincinnati. This was at the end of the week. Mrs. Huguley, who Jias been faithfully taking care of her erratic husband at the sanitarium, sent word to his attorney that he could not be found. And he wasn't found until the following Wednesday he sent Word to Dr. Fletcher, his keeper, that he would be home the same day.

It seems, from the account that Huguley gave upon hie return, that he fell from the platform of the car when the train arrived in Cincinnati and had his upper lip badly cut. He was, he claimed, in the hospital for the most of the time he was away.

When Mr. Taylor learned Huguley was returned, he took him over to Greencastle. The rest of the story is already known. When the special plea of insanity was entered and the man acquitted of the indictment's charge the court ordered a commission of justices o#try Huguley for his sanity.

The Texas authorities would not have been able to take the man out of the state if they had served the requisition which they had obtained from Governor Mount. Prosecutor Tichenor told Sheriff Winters as much when the latter came to him, being unable to find the man he was arter.

And Huguley is still in the jail at Greencastle. The asylum refused him the third time, and he rests in the charge of the sheriff of Putnam county until arrangements are made for his incarceration in some private asylum ot retreat.

Meanwhile Mr. Taylor, who seemed so anxious to have the job of defending the man, has seemingly come to the conclusion that he has an elephant on his hands. At least he intimates sueb. Mr. Taylor has written to Sheriff Bunten tha: he will leave the fellow on bis hands a little while longer, as he does not know what do with him. The reason for this remark is not very plain, unless it is that Huguley the senior, the rich merchant of Boston, has refused to do more for his son. This would explain matters satisfactorily, though it is understood Mr. Taylor has a very fat fee already far his services, with a slight retainer on the side a. a result of that long.talk with the Bostonlan over the long distance when Huguley was brought here sometime ago.

But the reason

for

Mr. Taylor's remark,

reported as emanating from official quarters. Is that the senior Huguley has said that Harry must be kept somewhere in restraint, as he has paid, out tor his escapades In the

past few years about ISO,000, «nd Is getting tired of the game. If these are Mr. Taylor orders, his task is surely a hard one. It seems Impossible for Huguley to break Into the asylum and he is such a

JAMES CADDEN BRINGS SOME STOCK TO TERRS HAUTE.

There is perhaps no more carefuf or'^iglb*^^ esteemed engineer on the Vandalia rail-. road than James P. Cadderi, who manlpu-.*^ lates the throttle on one of the fast passcnengines. "Jim" Cadden has been withthe Vandalia for years. Outside of railroad-. Ing there is nothing Cadden loves better thaa" horses. He has owned several animals which could step a mllo in less than thres.^ *lnutes, and for several weeks it is «ai&> has been negotiating for a filly with a marla

of better tliwi 2.30»x^ Yesterday morning Jim Cadden brought train Into this city. He came from the west^

on this train was a horse. It was Cadden's there was no doubt of it, and his friends on seeing it were of the opinion he had brought home his fine filly, one destined -to make aul Kuhh and Lawrence Hickey take ..to the tall brush with their horse flesh. Cadden picked up his horse out in Illinois somewhere. Just where is not known, not evefi. by Cadden. The animal was riding cf

engine. As the train came under the sheds the employes of the station shputed to the engineer and pointed to the pilot of the bia mogul. Cadden did not see anything, however, and took his engine out to the yards.

The people at the Thirteenth street yard office called to him, but the engineer never looked out again. When his train came ta a standstill at the round house, the cause of the strange actions of the yard and station employes became apparent, for there on the cowcatcher of the engine was a fine bay horse. It was not dead, but so nearly so ibat 4t had to be killed. The engine must have picked the animal up between Terre Haute and Marshall. It was a fine colt and had it not been that Its legs were broken the trainmen would not have killed it. It is supposed the horse ran out in front of the engine from the fireman's side and was not observed by the engineer.

This Is not the first time Cadden has speculated- in horses. It has been but short time since he bought a mare and colt. He bought them on the recommendation of a friend and being twd where they were went out one Sunday and brought them to the city. He picked all the burs out of the colt's main and tail and within a week had broken it to harness. The little fellow was a highstepper, and Cadden was skimming along the boulevard, the proudest man on tha thoroughfare. People admired his horse and several men wanted to buy it, But Cadden said he wouldn't sell. It was while he was feeling so elated over his purchase that an old farmer drove up to his house one morning, saying he had called to get his mars and colt. Cadden wanted to fight it first, declaring he knew nothing about any mare or colt. Finally, however, the situation was made plain to the engineer. He had gona to the wrong pasture and taken the^ wrong horses, curried the btfrs out of the wrong tail and broken the wrong animal.
