PARAMOUNT PARK.
The Talk About Adding tn Its Beauty
and Convenience.

The presence in the city of Mr.. A. N.
Carpenter, the landscape architect from
Galesburg, ILL.,, has caused some talk
about the improvement Of Paramount
park, the mayor and council having been
consulting with him, and getting at his
ideas.
Mr.. Carpenters method is unique and
quite philosophic. Instead of planning
the work ashe goes along, he does all his
planning beforehand, the first step being
to get the exact data of distances. levels.
points OF view, ETC., and then having
gathered up every minute fact, prepare a
plan on this basis, providing for the prac.
teal as well as the beautiful, so that while
beauty is added, the convenience and
durability OF the work may be no less
promoted. The plans being as accurate
~ prepared as those of an architect of n
mousse, tho work can then be executed in
accordance with the plan. In view of
the fact that the necessary data has
not been gathered yet, Mr.. Carpenter
only gives hints as to what might be
done He suggests that as the water b,
works furnish two fountains for the park, = !
that possibly it could be arranged to j
nave the water supply put into a reser- u
voir or little lake, and the fountains ~
then supplied from this, they being a
located lower down. Then he suggests a
the possibility of having some little boil h
ing springs and other water delights h,
which could be arranged with very little -,
cost. lie also suggests some things con-
a conservatory or observatory, ~
Hover beds, a place to keep animals, u,
etc., all of which suggestions are to be- =,
in making plans for future w
improvements. One of the most inter. =.
suggestions is the possibility of ~
laving a tunnel leading into the park. a "
!ovelty possessed by no other park in "a
his country, 80 far as heard from. From u aa
nat ne has seen of the lay of the land, C.,
Q believes this is possible and practical io
lie and that the soil is such that in two
three places a hole dug through would

approaches and waterways to keep il frc
washing away. 2:t
Inc Chief cost of such a tunnel would are
) the taking away of tho dirt. and as pa
rt is needed for filling streets, the cost the
be little. A park with q tunnel
oula be a novelty indeed. OF course
these suggestions could not be carried
1t In one year or two years, but Mr.. pat
'rpenter's idea is in preparing plans to ces
them so that a portion of the work. and
certain part of the ground could be ali aft,
ished and be completed in itself. and tina
On another part could be dons, and 80 are

MILTON G. FOREMAN
Arrested for the Murder of His Mother and
Sster-The Evidence Against Him
Not Made Public.

Milton G, Foreman, of Colfax, was arrested on
Saturday by Detective Mckinney, on a charge Of
having murdered his mother and sister near
RoyaltOn, on the 9th of last month. The circum-
stances of the tragedy and the subsequent ar
rests are well remembered. Mrs. Elizabeth
Foreman, an old lady, and her daughter, who
lived alone, were found with their skulls crushed
In the crime evidently having been perpetratedby
some person or persons who were familiar with
their habits and the premises. Two ar rests and
subsequent releases have been made, the last
being that of James Hough, whom
the grand jury failed to indict.
One of the numerous theories regarding
the murder was that it was actuated by persons
who held graveyard" policies Oh the old lady.
but this was done away with for the time being
by the positive statements of the relatives of
the deceased that there no such Insurance.

arrested, had IA $1,000 policy IN his mothel's
life in the Eureka" company, OF Alliance q

any payment on 1t. Foreman says that he has

Greensburg as the connecting link from Column

the c., l., st. L. IL c. system, to put q bonded
debt, say $1,000 per mile on the b. q b. proper
and the Columbus extension, or a sufficient sum
to properly build and equip the line. 1t thought
S80,0O0 or more can be raised in subsidies.
The question OF Its construction really hangs
the prospect OF placing the bonds. The Il. & B.,
with an eastern outlet, would really become
valuable piece of road, and such an outlet as the

Indiana IL Illinois NarrOw-guage, which reaches
west to Eiiingham, and which, under General
Manager Lyons, is doing good business, aud one
which has remarkably improved with the increase
in facilities Within the last few months the equip
ments OF the latter have been considerably in

bridge over the Wabash, which was swept out q
