DEPOSING A JUSTICE.
The County Commissioners Decide that
William Judkins Is Not Eligible

The Board of County Commissioners met in
special session yesterday to consider the con
tested election cases of William Henzie VS..
Charles B. Feibleman, for justice at West In
dianapolis, and Joseph E. Ayres against VIM.
Judkins, for justice for Brightwood. In the first
case some kind of an agreement had been made
between the parties and the contest was dis
missed, Mr.. Henzie paying the costs The
Brightwood case was submitted on an agreed
statement of facts, and brief arguments were
made by Fl. N. Span for Ayres and Robert
Smith for Judkins. The opinion of the Attor
eygeneral unfolding the validity of the Van
Vorhis law, under which the justices are elected,
was read, in which the opinion was express ed
that justice should be a resident of the incor
porated town for which he was elected. The
board concurred in this decision and made the
following ruling:
Joseph E. Ayers, contestant, William Judkins,
contestee.
Ordered in the above entitled that the Board
of County Commissioners of Marion county after
hearing the facts and the law find in favor of the
testant Joseph e. Ayres and against the contestee,
William Judkns and they further find that said Will
for the incorporated town of Brightwood, of Marion
county, Indiana, and said office is hereby declared
vacant.
An appeal was granted to the Circuit Court,
and if the decision is sustained a new justice
will be appointed for Brightwood. 1t is likely
that Mr.. Feibeman's tenure of office will like
wise depend upon the ultimate ruling. In the
expressive words of Squire Walpole, "All the
old justices hold until new ones are elected"

where he stopped last night, in which he ex-
pressed himself as well pleased with his residence
in Spain. His return to this country is
for the purpose of consulting with the Depart
ment of State upon diplomatic matters, more
particularly concerning the commercial rela-
lation between the United States and Cuba, to
which Mr.. Foster has given considerable at
tention. He leaves here for Evansville this
morning, to spend few days at his old home.

Judge Hines Withdraws.

Judge Cyrus G. Hines, who has for many
years been member of the well-known law firm
of Harrison, Hines & Miller, has retired from
the firm, which will hereafter be known as Har-
rison, Miller & Elan. This action on the part of
Judge Hines has been made necessary by the
continued i'll health of Mrs. Hines, who has been
for many years an invalid. They will shortly
leave here for Vermont, where Mrs. Hines de-
rived great benefit during former visit and will
probably go to Europe at an early day, for an in
definite period. They will retain their residence
in Indianapolis, and will return as soon as the
health of Mrs. Hines will permit That this
action on the part of Judge Hines is necessary
is deeply to be regretted Mrs. Hines has the
most earnest and sincere wishes of her un
usually large circle of friends for her speedy res
toration to health and home.

Robert Braxton,s Removal.

There is considerable feeling among the col
ored people over the removal by the
fire board of Robert Braxton one of
their who has been for many years a
member of the department, and at a meeting
held last night at Allen Chapel resolutions up
holding Mr. Braxton and condemning the action
of the board were adopted The fire board as
sert, and with good reason, that Brax-
tons removal was not make until a
thorough examination of his case rendered
it, in their judgment, necessary, and his sue
cessor was chosen from among the colored peo-
pie. There was no disposition the part of
the board to remove him simply because he
was coored man as this fact clearly demon
strates. Braxton's removal was made for other
reasons, and, as a matter of fact, was demanded
by large number of colored people.

THE SOLDIERS MONUMENT.
The Grand Army Actively Engaged in Fur
thering the Interests of the Project

Encouraging reports come in from various
parts of the State regarding the work of raising
the monumental fund. A great many enter
tainments will be given on May I'd, by G. A. R.
posts, for this purpose, but others have not been
able to do so, as many of the farmers are busy
blowing for their spring crops, and for other
reasons, consequently the Monumental Commit
tee has sent out instructions that such enter
tainments may be given at any time during the
months of Nay and June. 1t has also postponed
the time for making complete financial returns
to treasurer Johnston to July 10 The prizes
heretofore offered to the posts raising the largest
amount of money in proportion to membership
will be awarded according to the receipts from the
posts to and including thatdate. The other con-
ditions remain unchanged George II. Thomas
Post, of this city, has resolved not to compete
for either of the prizes in order that the other
posts may feel that they all have an equal
chance. 1t is hoped that this generous action of
George H. Thomas Post will be responded to in
the same spirit, and that it will stimulate the
posts throughout the State to renewed exertions
to secure the prizes.
Each post will be credited with all moneys re-
ceived by it, from any source, including the
campfire held May 2, or any other day during
May or June and forwarded to the treasurer
not later than July 10.
The monumental committee also recommends
that unusual attention be given to the docora-
ton services this year, both on Memorial Day
and the Sunday preceding, and that the soldiers
of each county in the State hold a reunion of
themselves and friends on the 4th day of July.
1t is further recommended that, beginning at
once and continuing until July 4, a thorough
canvass of each township in the State be made
for subscriptions, under the auspices of the posts
in the several counties; and that. precaution
against impostors, no one be authorized to can
the seal of the monumental committee. These
books the committee is now sending out. 1t has
also sent out $4,000 tickets for the camp-fres,
which gives some indication of the interest that
is being taken in the enterprise.
The committee is holding weekly meetings in
this city, and if it receives the hearty cooper
alton of the State at large which seems now to
be assured, and its plans are faithfully and in
diligently carried out. there can be no question
but that the money required will be quickly
raised
