a .modified franchise

city Acnnns to nETTEit terms rou tiic nioKMx people. Contract Will Ran for Thirty Years The Payment to the City Will ot Rett In Until lt)00. The Board of Public' Works rpent yesterday afternoon In conference with the representatives of the Phoenix Telephone Company In regard to the proposed franchise. Several members of the Council committee on contracts and franchises were present at the meeting, alo Mayor Tagprart and City Attorney Cnr11?. Terms of the franchise were practically agreed upon in every particular, and this afternoon at 4 o'clock there will be another meeting when the modified contract, which will be prepared to-day by City Attorney Curtis, will be submitted for final approval. The principal contention yesterday was as to the life of the franchise. When the matter was first' talked of, the time was placed at twenty years, but after the passage of tho ordinance' by the Council requiring: all wires within the original square mile of the city to be placed tinder ground, the company asked for a longer period on account of the fact that this would Impose a large additional expense In the construction of th plant. The company wanted a fort 3 year franchise, but the board would not agree to this. It was Anally settled that tho franchise should be for thirty years. Another point at issue was the ftnnual payment to tha city. The original draft of tho franchise called for a payment of $1,0) the first year the plant was In operation and an increase of 5500 each year until the maximum of $G,000 a year was reached. This was changed yesterday so that $1,000 will be paid in 1S0O and an increase of $1,000 each year until the maximum of $0,000 is reached. The time of the completion of the plant was extended until Dec. 31. mi. It was decided that the company should give a bond of $.7.000 to run for two years, which will cover the time of the building of the plant, and shall then give a bond of $13,000 to continue during the life of the franchise. In regard to the termination of the franchise. It was agreed, at the suggestion of ex-Judge Lewis C. Walker for the company, that a clause should be inserted w hich shall provide that in no case and undr no circumstances shall the franchise be construed to grant the company the right to continue to do business after the expiration of thirty years, unless another specific grant shall be made by the city. This was on account of the objection by Mr. Downing to a clause the company had Inserted In the franchise providing that after the expiration of the franchise, the city should not have the right to place others in charge of the company's property until full settlement had bfen made with the company for Its actual value. It was argued by Mr. Downing that this clause would give the company a perpetual franchise under certain circumstances, such as tho failure of thePhoenlx Company to agree upon the value of the plant with the company which might secure Its franchise after expiration. Judge Walker said ho was not a believer In the doctrine of perpetual franchises and was willing that the city .should Insert a clause worded any way It might suggest, providing against the possibility of construing this as a contract for a longer period than thirty years. This .was satisfactory and was accepted by the city. The only question now open Is that of furnishing the city conduits and wires for Its police and fire alarm service. The franchise calls for this, but there Is some objection on the part of the company to accepting this until an estimate of its cost can be made. The terms nre simply that a sufficient number of wires for this service shall be furnished within the conduits and that the tipper arm on all poles shall be reserved for the use of the city. UltlEF COUNCIL. MEETING. Delaivare-Street Ordlunnees Die In Committee Hand. The Common Council met last night, passed two ordinances, heard a report from the committee on sewers, streets and alleys, received a communication from the Mayor, had itself photographed and then adjourned, all in about fifteen minutes. A number of important ordinances are still In the hands of committees. The failure of the committee on sewers, streets and alleys to make a report on the ordinances originating with the Board of Public Works providing for cement sidewalks on Notth Delaware street,- from Massachusetts avenue to Morrison street and from Morrison to Seventh street practically killa those measures. In the communication transmitting the ordinances to the Council the Hoard of Public Works said that the ordinances should be disposed of not later than Aug. 13. As the next sesston of the Council will not be held until Aug. 17 the ordinances will die in committee. The ordinance giving the C. H. & D. railroad permission to lay and maintain a switch on Liberty street to the plant of ths Indiana lilcyele Company parsed without a dissenting vote, as did the ordinance appropriating $257.r3 to pay claims due the f states of saloon keepfrs who died before the expiration of their licenses. Under the ruling of the Supreme Court on the Nicholson law unearned portions of license fees ere payable to the estates of deceased saloon keepers. Mayor Taggart notified the Council that he had approved President Costello's ordinance giving the Hoard of Public Works Jurisdiction for the purification of streams and to prevent their pollution. The committee on sewers, streets and alleys recommended the na?5f!ge of the ordinance changing the names of duplicated streets, but it was not called up for passage. The committee on contracts and franchises was not prepared to mako a report on the telephone ordinance and the contract giving the T. li. & I. railroad permission to lay a switch at the intersection of Missouri street and Kentucky avenue. Chairman Colter hn called a meeting of th committee for Wednesday night, when both matters will be considered. A pair of Itinerant photographers who have been vifttnr newnr'-T offices and public officials the last two or three days persuaded, the Council to remain seated for a few moments after adjournment until a flashlight picture was secured. DEMAND FOR PLACES. Member of Police Force to lie Tried To-I or row. Certain members of the police force are to be tried to-morrow. Patrolman Shafer Is charged with making an insulting remark to a young woman who was standing oti Virginia avenue talking with three men. Patrolman McClelland is charged with leaving his dlstriet and with actions Unbecoming an offlcer. and ratrolman Foltzenlogle is charged with over offlciousness at the Democratic county convention. There is a grat demand Just now among the ward workers for plices on the police and tire forces. It even goes so far as to cause one man. who Is at pr?sent otit of the city, to write to the Hoard of Safety to know if there Is a prohabi.lty that any of the men undr charts wili be dimissed. If so he wants to return to the city immediately to begin working for a place. It Wn n Street Intersection. I. E. France and Lazcrus & Pelrce yesterday filed a claim with the Board of Works for $H51.72 on account of a payment they have made for the improvement cf Talbott avenue. They own the property at tho corner of Talbott avenue and Fourteenth street which was asses.d so heavily when that street was improved. It is claimed by the petitioners that the portion of Fourteenth street that was Improved should have been considered as an intersection and should have been assessed according to the law providing for paying the cost of Improved street crossings. They do not look upon the improvement of that portion of Fourteeneth street as the improvement of a street, but as the improvement of an intersection. The claim was referred to the city engineer for investigation. Mnnlelpnl Notes. Gansbcrg &: Roney were the only bidders for a local sewer in the first alley cast of Central avenue, from Thirtenth to Fifteenth street. Their bid of was rejected. The Poard of Works took final action in confirming all of Its previous action in regard to the opening of Michigan avenue at several points between Washington and Qulncy treets. . The Hoard of Works yesterday overruled & remonstrance and took final action on

a resolution for the construction of a main drain In Prookslde avenue, from-Pogue's run to ltainsey avenue. The contract for cement sidewalks on Jefferson avenue, from Washington to Michigan etreet. wa3 awarded to C. It. Carter, at $1. 40", a foot. There were six other bids, ranging from $L4S to $1.57. SIGNS OF POLLUTION. Hcport tint t the Nob'lesvtlle Levee Hun Acnln llroken.

Yesterday afternoon Dr. Bates, of Broad Blple. county health ofiicer, reported to City Sanitarian Ferguson that the river above the dam shewed sings of pollution, similar to its appearance after the break In the levee at the strawboard works. He also heard a report that the levee had broken. Dr. Ferguson immediately communicated with Mr. Davis of the water company, stating that the dam Fcemd to have ben broken, accidentally or otherwise. Mr. Davis replied thnt he had v.o Information on the subject, hut that from what he knew of the Xoblesvllle strawboard works he thought the word accidentally was superfluous, as he did not believe the clam had ever broken accidentally. No confirmation of the report could he had last night. Dr. Ferguson will probably go to Noblesville to-day to inspect the dam. RIGHT OF WAY OPPOSED COMMERCIAL CLUB DIRECTORS ACT ON I., L. & C. ROAD'S PETITION. Railroad People Indignant nt What They Call a "Surreptltlou Sleeting: of the Board. The promoters of the Indianapolis, Logansport fc Chicago railroad are indignant at what they, term the surreptitious manner In which a resolution opposing the road was passed by the board of directors of the Commercial Club yesterday afternoon. Not long ago the company petitioned the Board of Public Works for a' right of way Into the city. Mayor Taggart and the board went over the route and seemed inclined to grant the petition, especially as over 200 property owners living in the vicinity of that proposed line petitioned the former board to grant the concession. Last week, however, the board, by request, agreed to defer action until a communication on the subject could be submitted by tho directors of the Commercial Club. A week ago to-dcy the directors held a meeting. George Merrltt urged that the directors oppose the route proposed and suggested anotiier, which he declared was Just as practicable and which would not cross so many thoroughfares. On the other hand, the representatives of the road declared that it would be impossible to adopt the route pointed out by Mr. Merrltt. It would compel them to cross White river on the Vandalia bridge or build one of their own, which they could not do without having Kingan's porkhouse and other valuable property condemned. Even if such action could be secured, they Insisted that it would bankrupt even an old road to confiscate such valuable property in a legal way, as it would take an immense sum to pay damages done to property owners. Besides this, they would be deprived of terminal facilities. Action was deferred. President Erwin. it is said, assured the railroad people that they should be treated fairly and that no action adverse to their interests should be taken during his absence from the city. Friday he left for Kurope. Saturday afternoon an enort was made to hold a meeting of the directors, but enough to constitute a quorum could not be found, when an effort was made to reach them by telephone. The meeting was postponed until yesterday afternoon, when a resolution protesting against the right of way asked by the company wag adopted. The directors who were present say that they have no objections to the road on general principles, but that they are opposed to giving it the particular routo asked. , "In other words," said one of the people Interested in the road, "they are willing to make concessions which they know it will be impossible for us to accept. They expect to present this resolution to the Board of Public Works as representing the sentiment of the directors of the Commercial Club a body which claims to have for its purpose the fostering of any enterprise that will promote the commercial and business interests of the city. In reality the resolution does not bear the stamp of authority, and was passed in the absence of directors known to be at least not prejudiced against us. President Lrwln was disposed to deal fairly with the road, and if he had been here that resolution would not have been adopted until a full meetIng of tho board was held. But a bare quorum was present. The pa-sage of that resolution was an underhanded effort to obtain the support of the club behind which to cloak the private interest of two or three interested members. "Why was the question ever considered bv the directors?" . , . . . Two years ago, when the project of building a road to Logansport was first considered, we were assured that the Commercial Club would be glad to aid us In any way. Believing In the fair promises that were mad'?, we sent a communication to the directors, asking that they use their influence with the Board of Public Works. Instead of doing so. they adopted a long resoluMon protesting against the allowance of the grant. The resolution charged that Indianapolis already had an abundant supply of railroads, that the route we asked would Injure adjacent property and that the city ought not to give away a franchise worth $1,000,000. I. N. Richie, one of the directors who signed the resolution, had just platted an addition in the bottoms of White river. Other members of the club also were personally Interested and made a thrust at us from behind the. influenceof the club. At the meeting last Tuesday one of tho directors had a copy of the same resolution passed two years ago in his pocket, ready to ask that it b confirmed by the directors, but they found that it would be unwise, to spring the resolution until a more favorable time, when we were not present and none of the directors favorable to us were on hand to defeat sch action." It is not at all unlikely that the Board of Trade will be asked to consider the question If the resolutions passed by the directors of the Commercial Club are presented to the Board of Public Works, with a view to having it fairly considered by a commercial body. The railroad people say that' they do not propose to allow the Inference tnat the Commercial Club directors, as a whole, are opposed to the road to remain unchallenged. ' Now that they have progressed so far as to float their bonds for the purpose of grading track and placing the road in operation, they say they will take steps to offset whatever influence such resolutions may have. Frank Maus, I. N. Richie, George Merrltt and other members of the club own property that might be affected, they claim. It is asserted that this Is the. first occasion in the history of the Commercial Club that any efforts hav- been made to throw water on any enterprise likely to require the expenditure of large capital in this city. It is given out that the resolution was unanimously passed by the directors. Those present yesterday were W. D. Bvnum, James R. Boss. J. H. Holliday. William Fortune, J. P. Dunn. J. M. Spann. Alhert Metzger, directors, and Evans Woollen, secretary of the club. The resolution passed two 3'cars ago was signed bj A. W. Conduitt, I. N. Richie, A. P. Hendrickson, Louis II. Gibson and H. Bamberger. A Room for MrKlnley. The gold Democrats declare that "united gold must light united silver." Populists, Republican silver men and Democrats having combined on Bryan, it is the intention of the leaders of the sound-money Democrats to have their convention indorse McKinley. This indorsement would insure the election of the Republican ticket, and open the markets of Mexico and South America, for our manufactured goods. If the convention meets here, each delegate will be provided with a box of Haag'a Liver Pills, as they are tho best medicine on earth to clear the head, cure sick or bilious headache ?nJ kidney troubles. This i3 the new pill that druggists declare has ruined the sale of their patent medicines. It is not a patent medicine, being made originally bv Julius A. Haag, the Denlson Houe druggist, for his aged mother, who was cured of Indigestion and constipjti'n by their use. These pills are now on rale by 13 ) druggists -of Indianapolis and suburbs, at cents a box. The great cale is due to the many cures produced by this new medicine. Mr. Ilaag also makes a new medicine for colds, neulalgla. malaria and fever, known as Haags Cold and Fever Capsules. These also sell for 25 cents. As they are not a patent medicine, there is no cut in the price.

LITTLE ONE'S ROMANCE

WT3 A LT 1 1 Y RANCHMAN FINDS HIS - LONG-LOST GRAND DAUGHTER. She Wan Nellie Mordelle, nn Inmate of the Hoard of Children' Guard Inns Home. Yesterday afternoon J. F. Wright, agent of the Board of Children's Guardians, left this city to accompany, as far as Chicago, a little girl w ho Is on her way to .California. The child had been an inmate of the Board of Children's Guardians Home for over two years and the story of her being sent there and her recent discovery by a wealthy grandfather in California, Is somewhat romantic. There are many persons in this city who remember Gabe Ward, a paralytic, who was frequently to be seen hauled about the streets in a hand wagon. The man was almost totally helpless. He lay upon his back In his bed, and sold newspapers in the-streets. His wife, Mary Ward, had living with her a little girl, whom, as the story goes, she had taken fFom the child's mother. The history of the mother seems to have been shrouded in mystery. She camo here from Chicago, and her husband either died or left her. She found life hard in a strange city with a child to support and, it is said, she drifted into unwholesome surroundings. She was willing enough to get Mrs. Ward to tako the child. Subsequently Mary Ward took her Invalid husband to the South somewhere and the little girl accompanied them. The man died and the woman and child returned. May IS, 1S01, Mary Ward was arrested on a charge which the Board of Children's Guardians thought justified it in taking the child from her care. The child was taken to the police station and placed in the care of Matron Buchanan pending the action of the court, and was flnalyvsent to the Board of Children's Guardians Home at the corner of Prospect fand Auburn streets. The entry in the police matron's record opposite the child's name is as follows: "Taken from Mary Ward, a halfwitted woman not fit to have charge of her, was not her mother." The board was unable to learn, the real name of the new inmate. She said her name was Nellie Mordelle and that she was eleven years old. The board entered her upon the records as Nellie Mordelle Blank and under that name she spent over two years in tho home. She was, during that time, under Miss Belle Carroll, teacher at the home, and being naturally bright made rapid advance in her studies. When she went to the home uhe had had very little schooling and was rough and uncouth in appearance and action. When she left the city yesterday afternoon, she might have been taken for the daughter of well-to-do parents who were taking her away for a summer vacation. A WEALTHY RANCHMAN. It was through Miss Carroll that Miss Nelllo Mordelle, now a girl thirteen years old, was found by her grandfather, who has since adopted her and with whom she is now going to make her home. The grandfather is John Pfenlnger, a wealthy ranchman living near I.os Angeles. Cal. The story is that his son was a somewhat wayward lad, who married a woman beneath him and that the father either turned him out into the world or that the son's pride directed him to leave his home. He and his wife drifted to Chicago. From there It is not clear what became of the son, but the young wife came to this city. The grandfather did not know until three years ago, however, that his son's wife had died and had left a daughter. When he learned of the child he made a trip to Chicago and had the city scoured in search of her, but no trace of her could be found. It seems that the mother's sojourn in this city was not known to Pfenlnger. Falling to locate the child. Mr. Pfenlnger returned to his ranch in California after leaving advertisements to be run until further notice in several of the Chicago papers. Tho advertisement was for information concerning the whereabouts of Nellie Mordelle Pfenlnger. The notice to stop the advertisements did not come and the papers continued to run them until a short time ago. Then they stopped because they were no longer needed. At the close of the school term at the home Miss Carroll, who had been boarding at S3t South Meridian street, left thecity. She intended to spend a part of her summer vacation with relatives In Marion and then to go for a visit to a sister in North Platte, Neb. While at Marion about a month ago she was reading the Chicago Chronicle, when her eye fell upon Mr. Pfeninger's advertisement. She recognized at a glance, in the name, that of her pupil at the home. She clipped the advertisement, sent it to officers of the board of this city and the latter entered into correspondence with Pfenlnger. The correspondence resulted In the complete Identification of Nellie Mordelle Blank as his long lost granddaughter. Papers for the adoption of the child were sent Mr. Pfenlnger and a few days ago they were returned, signed and attested by him and are now duly recorded in the Circuit Court here. Mr. Wright accompanied Miss Pfenlnger as far as Chicago and from there she will travel alone to her new home on the Pacific slope., DEATHS IN THE CITY. M. D. Williamson nnd Other "Well Known In Awny. Marshall Dodd Williamson died at his home, 221 Tark avenue, Sunday night. Death was caused from a complication of disorders. Early in July Mr. Williamson's condition became so critical that he was taken to Chautauqua, where the family occupied a cottage. Last week he became unconscious, and It was seen that he could live only a short time, and he might live until the marriage of his daughter Ethel to Thomas M. Bumsted, of New York. This marriage had been arranged. but was not to have taken place until fall In accordance with the wish of Mr. Williamson the marriage took place Saturday at Chautauqua, Bishop Vincent performing the ceremony. Mr. Williamson was born in Pruntyville, W. Va., in 1S25. He learned the cabinetmaker's trade, and when the gold fever broke out in 1845 started to California, but got no further than this State. He stopped in Thorntown. but later came to this city and entered tne. lumber business. Later he became a member of the firm of Adams & Williamson, veneer " manufacturers, and was a member of this firm at the time of hU death. The. funeral will occur to-morrow afternoon at the family residence. Jse S. Whitalt. Jesse S. Whltslt, aged fifty, died yesterday morning at his home, 22 Pleasant street. Mr. Whltslt was well known in this city. He was one of the early street contractors, and did work on some of the first sewers ever built In the city. Later he went to Nashville to build a large reservoir. After that he came back here end bought an interest In the Flat Rock quarries, near St. Paul, Decatur County. He was a leader among the Democrats of the South Side, but in recent years has not taken much interest in politics. He was a member of the General Assembly for one term. S. G. CnldiTeir Fnnernt. The funeral of Sylvester G. Caldwell, who was a former well-known contractor in this city, took place yesterday morning. He died Saturday morning of heart disease at the Enterprise Hotel. Propose to Bury n Live Man. Edwin K. Booie. self-styled "The Orig inal Boy Phenomenon." will attempt this morning to put a man to sleep In the Model show window. He asked permission to bury a man for a week in one of the city parks. He say? he will hypnotize the man and no damage will result. The Board of Health tn'd htm it could not grant nor deny such permission. School Terms In the County. The county superintendent has made arrangements for schools within this, county during the coming winter. There will be nine months of school in Center township, seven months In Washington. Lawrence. Fvrrx. Decatur and Franiuln. and ttz

months In Wayne and Warren townships. The incorporated towns In the county will have ten months. The township schools will begin Sept. 21 and the county institute will begin Aug. 21. The trustees have appointed a committee to call on the County Commissioners to pee if some other arrangements cannot be made whereby the schoolhouses will not be used for election purposes.

DIVIDEND ON STOCK. Doard of Trade Governors Declare One New Committees.
