A DETERMINED COMMISSIONER.
Ar. Morrison Disposed to Give the Police His
Personal Assistance in Enforcing Law.

Police Commissioner Morrison has apparently
taken very decided stand in his efforts to en-
force the ii o'clock and Sunday laws, and, as
stated in the Journal yesterday, on Saturday
night he called in person at a number of places
and stated positively that the law must be
obeyed to the letter. His appearance was unex-
pected, and the saloon men obeysd his instruc-
tions with degree of alacrity that was aston
ishing. While recognizing the difficulties under
which the patrolmen labor, he is not altogether
satisfied with the result of their efforts and in
tends hereafter to give his per-
sonal attention to the matter With
reference to the statements made in another
morning paper to the effect that, prior to his ap-
pointment, he gave assurance that he would not
be especially severe on the liquor dealers, Mr..
Morrison stated that it was false in every par
tcular. He gave no assurance of the kind He
was absent from the city when his appointment
was made and he accepted with full determi-
nation to insist upon the strict observance of all
laws. While he does not propose to constitute
himself patrolman, he thinks that it is his duty
to use his utmost endeavor to compel would be
law violators to obey the provisions of the stat
utes, and very heroic treatment may be ex-
pected in the future On yesterday the saloons
were far more cautious and conservative than
they have been on preceding Sundays, and
several that have hitherto been open on the sly
were closed entirely.

PROGRESSIVE EUCHRE CONDEMNED.
=
Or. Mcleod Says that rrayer-Meetings Have
Been Made to Yield Precedence.

At the Second Presby terrain Church, last night,
Rev DR.. Mcleod surprised his congregation by
making pronounced and decidedly vigorous
onslaught on the progressive euchre craze The
good Doctor spoke with some asperity, and de-
clared that things had come to pass where it is
almost impossible to hold a prayer-meeting with
an attendance of respectable proportions, so in
fatuated are the people generally with this
latest sort of dissipation. People who have
hitherto allowed the Kinks, the germans and the
high teas to yield precedence to the
prayer meeting, have succumbed to the
superior destinations of progressive euchre, and
permit the prayer meeting to take second place.
Dr. Mcleod was particularly pointed in what
he had to say, and his remarks created some
CONSERVATION among his auditors. If the infu
ence of the Dominic counts for anything, it is
highly probable that, in the light of his remarks
last evening progressive euchre will meet with
a decided back set among the members of thu
Second Presbyterian congregation.

1t was decided to hold a State meeting on the
first Saturday in May for the purpose of secur-
ing certain rights and privileges, remedying
wrongs and misunderstanding, land mapping
out lines Of action for future conduct as means
of making favorable impression and a guar
antee of honest action and sincerity of purpose
in dealing with problems that present them
selves for future solution" The further order
of the meeting was embodied in the following

ness men, who seek to become
Incorporated that they may make rates
and deal with other corporations. First to pro-
mote free trade between the several States of
the Union This takes legislation. Second, to
secure reduction of rates to merchant travel
ers. This has been promised US as soon as we
make promises of protection, and are responsible
for the promises we make. Third, to obtain a
fair and equitable allowance of baggage An eff
fort has already been partially successful
Fourth, to secure hotel accommodations COM
mensurate with prices paid. This means protec-
ton to the honest hotelkeeper as we'll as our
selves. 1t is notorious fact that travelling
theatrical companies secure rates of fare and
baggage at prices third less than the bust
ness man. This is discrimination that is I'M
fair and unjust, as they furnish no freights to
the roads. As the interests of the travellers are
SO identified with the interests of the jobber and
wholesale merchants, we hope to secure the hearty
CO operation of all Indianapolis houses for the
success of the May meeting.

Two Sides of a Story.

In the Sunday papers mention was made of a
suit brought by a. and L. w. Rains against
Lyon, hurry & Peck for violation of contract
in which the plaintiffs allege that they filled and
delivered an order on tie defendants tracks in
Tennessee, and that the defendants refused to
receive the lumber The officers of the Lyon,
hurry & Peck Company, who own the contract,
state that the Rains Bros have not furnished
onehalf the lumber contracted for; that their in
spectors rejected as worthless less than per
cent Of the lumber delivered, all the balance hav
ing been accepted and fully paid for in cash;
that the Rains Bros. are indebted to the COM
pany for over $500, advanced to them on lumber
not yet delivered at the tracks They think the
suit is brought IN anticipation of damage suit,
which the company were about to commence
against Rains Bros. for non-fulillment of con-
tract.
