at once became aware of large pile of

Inspector changed his plan of operations.
Upon sign from him they retired eau

portmauteaus mounted up, Bartlett be-

bided his time.
At last Mr.. Romney- Romney appeared
on the steps, arrayed in suit of fashion

a Great Electric Light.

West indianapolis will soon have the finest
electrical illumination in the State. At least
there is nothing in the city to equal it. The
Nordyke & Marmon Machine-works Company
are erecting it at the southwest corner of Morris
street and Kentucky avenue, and have already
completed tia foundations. There will be three
lights, each of 1000 or more ''candle power" and
each will stand upon an iron column, terminating
in wooden shaft, of the entire height Of 125
feet-the full measure of any church steeple
in the city. Arms or brackets, extending
off the exterior columns to the cen
ter, will bring all the lights together
just at the corner Of the street crossing The
central column is at the point, the others ten or
twelve feet on each side, along the edge of each
sidewalk, the three forming an angle. The
lights thus concentrated or combined will make
a sight worth drive to the West side to see,
and just now there are no better roads or pleas
anter drives about the city than over the old
cemetery bridge and down River avenue, closely
hedged by maple shade trees, or down Morris
street from South Meridian. A light of 6 600 or
5000 candlepower as high in the air as peak
of a church steeple, will make that corner equal
to Eight house."

AN UNSATISFACTORY PURCHASE.
k-Adjutant-General Russ Figures Before the
Courts as Defendant.

Some four or FIVE years ago the press had
something to say in reference to lists of soldiers
prepared in the Adiutant generals Office which
parties anxious to befriend the veterans found
profitable. Yesterday Charles E. Bassett and
Frederick e. Glidden filed complaint in the
Superior Court in which they ask for So, 900,

purchase of a number of these lists from George
w. Russ, ex-Adjutant- general, who is the de-
PENDENT III the case. Bassett and Glidden say
that Russ represented the lists to be full and
complete as to the names Of all soldiers who
served in the Union army from 1861 to 1865, and
credited to Sullivan, Knox, Yanderburg, Harri
son, Dubois. Washington. Daviess and Pike
counties They charge that Russ told them
these lists were made from the records
of his Office while he was Adjutant-
general and further that the com
mssoners of the several counties named
had agreed to pay each soldier credited to those
counties bounty and as to this Russ gave
plaintiffs his guarantee. Defendant it is al
legged said he had arranged with the then AID
jufanu general, James II. Carnahan, that if any
of said counties wanted lists of soldiers, Carna-
han would pay to plaintiffs one half the amount
received tor such lists. 1t is stated that Pike
county offered no bounty. and that Sullivan
county purchased list from Carnahan for $780,
but that no part of the amount was paid to
plaintiffs, who say that had the representations
OF Russ been fulfilled they would have made
So DOC by the transaction with him.
