An Old HOrse-Thief Arrested.

Yesterday morning Jacob kirkpatrick, while
passing Bruce's woods, near Millersville, saw a
man and horse resting. The animal had the
signs of hard travel, and the man appeared to be
watchful of passersby. kirkpatrick waited
the movements of the man, who soon mounted
the horse and turned toward the city. When
near the northern limits, in the neighborhood of
Illinois and Meridian streets, Captain Campbell
and Sergeant Travis were met by Kirkpatrick,
who called their attention to the horse and rider
not far away. The rider took alarm, and rode
rapidly down Meridian street to an alley, through
which he dashed in the direction of Mississippi
street The officers were in road wagon, and
drove rapidly in pursuit When near the Work
house Captain Campbell called to the men work
ing there to head off the rider. This they failed
to do, but VIM. Howson sent three shots after
him, which caused him to turn down the Big
Four tracks. Campbell and Travis took a short
cut, and within a minute or two had the man
under arrest He was recognized as Edgar l..
Miller, who has been in the penitentiary three
times, once for taking wheat and twice for horse
stealing. When he was released the last time he
told Superintendent Lang that he would live an
honest life. and "Say, Cap" said he, cant you
get me place on the forcel" Miller says he got
the horse he was riding from D. S. Barker of
Avon Ind.

THE TELEPHONE WRANGLE.
Both Committee and Company Show that
They are Winning in the Fight.

No new developments of the telephone wrangle
nave arisen, except that both the managing COM
mittee of the subscribers and the telephone COM
pany are confident of success in the contest now
engaging their attention. Judge Holman said
yesterday that the work of canvassing for sgners
to the agreement goes on briskly, and the com.
mittee was meeting with much encouragement
The agents have not yet all reported, and it is
not possible at present to tell how many sgners
have been secured but the company Ioes not
fear that the number will fall below the orig
inal estimate, that is, rs per cent. of the entire
list
AssistaIt Superintendent Wilson, at the Elk
snange, stated that they had removed but one
instrument yesterday, making 215 in all. Only
fifteen notices from subscribers had been received
who desired to have their new contracts
terminated, while the total number
who either had signed the new contracts or who
were held by the old, was between GOO and 700.
In support of the provisions of the new contracts
the telephone company say they are demanded
by their own agreement with the American Bell
Telephone Company, which says: ''The second
party the Central Union company shall charge
royalty for the telephones as the licensor 1.-THE
Bell company may fix from time to time
for these and other like exchanges; and
also sum not eXorbitant or unusual for
the use of call-bells, batteries wires and
other appliances, and for services furnished
or performed and may collect both of said sums
for period not exceeding one year in advance"
Superintendent Walick states in a card in the
News of yesterday. that the telephone company
has been grossly misrepresented. The Legisla-
ture, he says, passed law declaring that the
monthly rental for the telephone should not ex-
coed So. This does not include poles, wires and
the services of the operators, in the view which
MIR. Wallick takes of the matter. Concerning
the new contracts, ne says that if individual sub
scribers do not choose to sign the contract, the
company frankly recognizes their right, and
have no just cause for complaint. If, on the
other hand, the company does not desire to con-
tinue in business at a total charge of So per
month to each subscriber no reasonable man can
complain of it. Mr.. Wallick says that all the
rival telephone companies. which are talked of
as entering into competition with the American
Bell, in this city. are under injunctions for
infringement, and that the Overland company,
of this city, mas a suit for infringement pending
against it in the federal court

Suits for Damages.

James T. Faileys wheel factory, brought suit
against his employer for $4,000 damages. He
says that at the exit for workmen, at the factory
were planks inclined at forty degrees from the
second story to six feet of the ground, where a
sudden turn was made to another walk. There
was no railing any sort of protection he claims,
and on this account he fell, broke his right arm
and sprained his shoulder.

city have been sued by James A. Mitchell en-
account of an accident that befell him by STEP

TIE STATE NOT LIABLE.
No Lien To Be Imposed on It's Property for
Payment Of Street Improvements.

Attorney general Hord yesterday submitted
Che following opinion to Auditor Rice, in answer
70 a question concerning the repair of public
streets:
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE,
INDIANAPOLIS. July Ia, 1885
Hon. James II. Rice. Auditor Of State:
Sir-You refer me to this question: ITS the
State liable for benefits received from the repair
of public Streets and from the construction of a
public sewer in cities, and drains under the
drainage acts, and is a lien imposed on State
property for the payment thereof"
Answor-The State is a sovereignty (60 Amer.
Dec, 56l), and it is universal rule in the con-
struction of statutes, limiting rights, that they
are not to be construed to embrace the State,
unless by express terms or necessary implication
such appears to have been the clear intention of
the Legislature. and the rights of the State are
not to be impaired by statute unless it's terms
are clear and explicit, and admit of no other con-
struction.
In the absence Of express legislative authority
the property of the State is not subject to as
sessment for the repair of streets and the con-
struction of public sewers in city, or bitches
under the drainage act, and no lien can be i'm
posed on the State property therefor. There is
o statute whereby the State may drain it's
swamp lands, under the control of it's officers
The statutes on the subject of streets, sewers
and drains do not expressly provide for the
assessment of State property, and the property
Of the State is not subject thereto to liens for
such improvements Respectfully,
FRANCIS T. HoRD, Attorney general

Trying to Save EN-.

A few ward politicians, whose worth to the
community is not rated very high are making a
strenuous attempt to delay if not defeat thepros-
ecution of Kary and Cogan, claiming that it is a
political persecution, and not warranted by
facts. In the judgment of the police superin-
tendent and his force, the men are deemed
guilty of the offense, and should be pros
ecuted While the pot-house politicians
clamor for their release, respectable Democrats
are insisting that the men must be given an op-
portunity to acour themselves, or take the alter
native which is likely to fall the lot of Shea.
