DIFFERENCES NOT ADJUSTED
The Telephone Company's Agents and
the Citizens Still Fail to Agree.
They Are Still Unable to Harmonic, and
Another Public Meeting Will Be Held
The Companys New Proposition.

There was another conference between the
officers of the Central Union Telephone Company
and the patrons committee, yesterday afternoon,
resulting in failure to agree upon any form of
adjustment of the troubles The committee
requested the company to withdraw the new
three months contract and to continue the old
contracts upon a conditional agreement to re-
fund ali money collected in excess of the amount
allowed by statute, if the Supreme Court shall
fully sustain the new law. After consultation
with their attorneys the officers of the company
refused to accede to this proposition, but pro-
posed, instead, to substitute the old for the new
contract with the following Endorsements:
The company's rates are uniform in the city
OF indianapolis and county of Marion, State of
Indiana and will be as follows:
Residences within one mile of the central
Office oil the company, $40 per year; for each
additional one-fourth of "a mile or fraction there
of. Sc per year.
Business houses. $50 per year. within one
mile of the central Office of the company, and Sc
per year for each additional one-fourth mile or
fraction thereof these charges are based from
and after July !, 1885, on an annual rental Of $50
per year for the telephones, and the remainder
for the additional services, material and facii-
ties, furnished by the company.
"And it is understood and agreed that if the
act of the General Assembly of the State of In
diana known as House Bill No A, approved
April /. 1885, shall be finally adjudged by the
court of last resort to be invalid the Telephone
Company shall be entitled to the rates named in
the within contract and that if it is so adjudged
to be valid, but that the company is entitled
under the law to charge for the additional serv
ice material and facilities, over and above the
telephone rental, then the rental for the tele
phone proper shall be at the rate of 500 per year,
and the charge for such additional facilities,
material and services shall be sufficient to bring
the whole sum up to the amount stated in the
within contract.
"And the Central Union Telephone Company
hereby agrees to make collections under this
contract in the middle of each quarter, and to
refund all moneys paid on the same in excess of
what may be finally adjudged by the court of
last resort to be legal, from and after the law
takes effect and is in force
ut is further provided, that nothing in this
agreement contained shall be taken as an ad
mission on the part of the lessee that the law
known as House Bill A, approved April 49, 1885,
when it takes effect, will authorize any charge
for telephone service other than the rates pre-
scribed in said act for telephones.

The officers of the company also expressed a
Willingness to add the following to the foregoing
Endorsement:
"First-It will execute bond securing re-
turn to its patrons of any money which the
courts decide it was not entitled to-
''Second-It will pay interest on the sum SO
refunded
"Third-That the money shall be refunded by
its successors, assigns and lessees if the decision
of the courts is adverse to it."
The patrons committee would not agree to
this conditional contract, for the reason that
they believed it to be less advantageous to the
subscribers than the proposition which they
made It was, they claimed, substantially the
old contract with the new contract tackled on.
At the conclusion of the conference, the fol-
lowing letter was delivered by D. H. Louder
back, vice president Of the company to the
patrons committee:
july 6, 1885
"John W. Murphy J. A. Holman, l.. s. Ayres, j. b.
Sullivan, and X. q. Hawkins:
Conference.-The Central Union Telephone
Company regrets exceedingly that some plan of
adjustment between the gentlemen represented
by your committee and it has not been agreed
upon.
ut desires to advise you and through you,
the meeting you represent. that it is its purpose
Notwithstanding this inability to agree, not to
take out any telephones until it has had an
opportunity to present to its subscribers in
dvdualy, proposition, which is in its judg-
ment so fair and reasonable that it will meet
their approval: Very respectfully,
I'D. II. LoUDERBACK. Vice president"
1t is asserted by the company that it cannot
furnish to it's patrons in Indianapolis the tele-
phones and telephone facilities as they are now
provided at the price of $3 per month"; and that if
it is compelled by the decision of the courts to
sary for the company either to abandon its bust
ness in the city and withdraw all telephones or
to limit the amount of facilities furnished by
placing several subscribers on each wire, with
drawing night and Sunday service. and other
wise reducing the operating expenses, which
would have the effect to make telephone faci-
ties of very much less value than at present. In
this view the representatives Of the company
insist that their proposition is eIninently fair
and reasonable.
The course which will be pursued by the
patrons will be decided upon, doubtless at the
meeting which will be held to day, for which the
following call has been issued:
ITO Telephone Patrons-We find it necessary
to call another meeting and request full
sentatives at the Criminal Court room this
Tuesday afternoon at halfpast o'clock I'm
portant matters will be presented
JOHN w. MURPHY, Chairman Elk. Com.
JOHN A. HOLMAN Secretary"
It is evident that the trouble cannot be adj
justed outside of the courts and it seems to be
the desire of both the company and the patrons
that the questio-s ut issue should be settled by
the judiciary with as little delay as possible.

FUEL SAVING.
Dayton 20. Daily Journal.
A DAYTON ENTERPRISE.

The Bryce Furnace Co. are at present
pushing the manufacture and sale of what
promises to be the furnace of the future.
It is called the Eureka, and has proven to
be successful selffeeding furnace for soft
Goals. 1t has been found to be an almost
perfect smoke consumer, as even when run.
ming on unscreened engine nut of soft Goals
no more smoke passes out the chimney
than from an anthracite furnace or stove.
By opening the way for clearly and salts
factory use af the cheapest grades Of fuel
this furnace seems to have
solved the question Of furnace
heating for persons of moderate
means. Since when it is possible to heat an
entire house for less than it has heretofore
cost to heat single room, with an anthra-
cite base burner-men on salaries, and oc-
cupants of rented houses, will soon see
their advantage in this new departure.
To run base burner requires not less
than four tons of anthracite at from 81 50
to S., which same amount of money would
buy enough fuel at 81 so to So per ton to
heat an entire house with Eureka furnace.
Having heard of the claims of this fur
mace to burn slack and screenings, the
Northern Pacific Coal Company Of st. Paul
sent the company barrel of coal from the
Sims mine, near Bismarck, Dakota Territory.
A trial was made of the coal yesterday at
the Furnace Co.'S shops in the presence
of number of gentlemen, among whom
were several parties interested in Dakota,
and a JOURNAL reporter, and the claims Of
the company were fully maintained and the
coal, though all Stacked and fallen into pie.
ces, varying from the size ola pea to that
of walnut, was found to burn freely and
perfectly. This being the only apparatus yet
found suited for this grade of fuel, the re-
suit is great satisfaction to all parties con-
cerned.
The furnace carries fire steadily week
after week on two or three filings per tacen-
ty.four hours = with he cheapest
grades Of soft coal, and burns
the gases and smoke, which heretofore

Senator Garland.

We were surprised to find in the last
number Of the Charleston Ners and
Courier long letter from Washington
city devoted to the task of proving that
Senator GARLAND, Of Arkansas, is not
fit TO be appointed Attorney-General of
the United States. This attack upon
Mr.. GARLAND, We say, surprises us
for if there be any man in the South
who is Of all men the one best quail
fed for that Office, it is Mr.. GARLAND.
So far as we know or believe, we were
the first to mention him as likely to be
selected as MIR. CiEvELAND's law ad-
wiser. And we did this because we
had for years been reading his speeches
in the United States Senate, and placed
the highest estimate upon his abilities
IS constitutional lawyer.
No objections are raised against Mr..
CLEvRLAND's appointment that are
based upon his character, or his habits,
or his abilities. II is conceded that he
is lawyer Of the highest ability; that
he devours lsw-books as young girls
dcyour novels, and never tires Of read
ing the dryest reports ; and that he
loves his profession as devotedly as
young men love their sweethearts. But
al these recommendations 90 for no.
thing in the presence of the fact that
Mr.. GARLAND is q " Federalist
Mr.. GARLAND first rose above the
national horizon in conducting the cele-
brated case in which he contended that
the Law prescribing test-oath for law
ycrs was unconstitutional, and therefore
null and void. He gained that case.
He has been Governor Of Arkansas,
elected by Democratic votes, but has
never been accused in that State Of being
Z Federslist. He has made the ablest
speeches on constitutional questions
that have been made in the United
States Senate during his term Of service
In that body, and his senatorial col
leagues have never, SO far as we know,
inspected him Of being "fede-
,alist ''--certdiuly not such a Federaliss
!. ought TO be condemned by the people.
