THE MUNICIPAL MIDDLE.
The Old Fire Board Asks that the New One
Be Restrained from Acting.

There were only seven councilmen present last
night when, promptly at s o'clock, Mr.. Spahr
asked the joint convention to come to order, and
the seven were Messrs. Coy, Edenharter, Haugh,
Moran, Reinecke, Spahr, and Wolf. AS there
was no quorum present, Mr.. Coy moved that
the convention adjourn, subject to the call of
the president, which was adopted. The meet
ing was simply IN pursuance of the programme,
and was merely formal.
Mr.. Spahr stated to a reporter after the ad-
journment that it had been the intention of the
Thalman men to come into the meeting and con-
troll it, but the fling of his suit against them
during the afternoon had caused them to change
their tactics.
George w. Spahr, Frank E.. Benjamin and J.
w. Wharton filed suit in the Superior Court,
yesterday afternoon, against Isaac Thalman,
Preston Trusler and Frederick Mack, to enioin
the defendants from acting as the fire board in
and for the city of indianapolis. The complaint
AYERS that the plaintiffs were regularly elected
at the joint convention of the Board of Alder
men and Common Council of the city, to serve
IN that capacity for two years and until their
successors were elected and qualified, and cites
the fact that at a subsequent joint convention
the defendants were elected to act as such fire
board. The claim is made that no provision
is made by the law for more than one joint con-
venton of the two municipal bodies, and that
the action of the second is therefore null and
void. Judge Taylor granted a temporary re-
straining order until Monday, June 8, at which
time the case will come up for a hearing.

KILLED BY A STREET CAR.
A Three-Year-Old Child Run Over on Massa-
chusetts Avenue.

A three year-old boy, the son of Mrs. Mary e
CulbertsOn, a Tga55%, engaged in the millinery
MUSINGS at No. 288 Massachusetts avenue, was
run over yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, at
the corner of Massachusetts avenue and Noble
street by a street car, and died within a few
minutes afterwards from the injuries. The street
railway line turns from the avenue down Noble
at the intersection of the two streets, and at the
time of the accident the car was going north.
The child was standing within three feet of the
track on the east side as the car came along, and
the driver supposed it was in no danger, but
while making the turn at the crossing
it suddenly turned and ran against the
mules. Before the car could be stopped. the
wheels had passed over the childs body, directly
across the abdomen, crushing it in a horrible
manner. 1t expired in a few moments afterward.
The driver of the car was John Agnew, a young
lrisman. He was arrested by Captain Camp
bell and Patrolman Stout. but was released dur
ing the evening, Colonel Johnson becoming re
s~ponsible for his appearance before the coroner
when the examination into the causes of the
child's death begins. 1t is claimed that the
accident could not be avoided by the driver.

Decoration Day Notes.

Everything bids fair for Decoration Day to be
observed more closely than ever before. In ad-
dition to the public Offices and banks, over three
hundred prominent business houses have signed
an agreement to close their places of business in
the afternoon, only one merchant on Washing
ton street refusing to close. The Journal will
publish to morrow a list of houses signing this
agreement. Two railroad trains will run from
the city to North indianapolis and return during
the afternoon. The first train leaves the Union
Depot at l o'clock P. NJ; second train will leave
North street only, at els P. NJ. AS no vehicles
will be allowed in the cemetery, this will be the
best manner to reach Crown Hill. The sale of
tickets is the only source of income to pay ex-
penses.

A Word to the Republican Conven
ton.

There is hardly Republican in Iron coun.
ty but what is aware that for years bitter
personal strife has been carried ON in Iron.
ton between two factions of the Republican
party. 1t has been and stili is offensive to
every Republican except the two or three
engaged in it.
Every meeting or convention held In Iron
ton has been made the scene of their person
al cldpper clatciRg, and all the time to the
disgust of the voters and to the injury of the
cause. Both factions seem to be trying to
run the party Ill their own individual in
terest. And it still continues: both factions
are now Sin the saddle." The delegates who
will meet at the courthouse on next Saturday
to elect delegates to attend the State Con-
vention will do n very wise thing by electing
two delegates who are outside of those fights
and have nothing to do with them. This
will help to secure harmony and will meet
the approval of the party.
No one can complain of this, and justice
will be accorded to the other precincts in
the county. Select one delegate from the
Knob, and the other from the south end
of the county.
We shall then have less wrapgling in the
future. Repeat the dose until cure is
affected. And allow no proxies except a
voter in township where he resides.
