son a few years ago married Mr. Magone's

dence in Ogdensburg on the fruits of his pro-
fessional labors. .
He is ale, one of the ablest of politicians,
but being in a Republican district was never
elected to the state legislature or congress.
He has great influence in state politics
though. Repeatedly he has been a delegate
to the Democratic state and national co.iven-
tions, and for several years served on the
Democratic state committee. In 1870 and
again III 1876 he was chairman of that COM
mittee. In 1875, when Governor Tilden be-
gan his vigorous attack on the corrupt canal
ring he made Mr.. Magone a member of the

Especial Correspondence
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-Washington is
the mecca of the cranks of the United States.
They come from all quarters of the Union,
and a day rarely passes that one or more of
them are not under arrest. The police de-
partment of the capital has a sanitary officer
who does little else than attend to this class,
and it is a light day indeed when two or
three semi-crazy men are not brought before
him. President Clevelands marriage brought
a number of cranks to Washington, and
every new event seems to turn out a new
class When Garfield died the cranks were
more numerous here than they have been at
any time since then, and they seem to in
crease or diminish in proportion to the noto-
riety which any of their number attain.
The White House cranks are more numer-
Gus than those about congress or the Capitol.
They come here on foot and on the cars, and
some of them look as gentlemanly and talk as
plausibly as many of our congressman. One
class is represented by the man who is carry
ing the Union flag from one end of the
country to the other. He generally comes
here dusty, ragged and foot-sore, and the
chances are that he does not get to see the
president at all. Last fall a man called at
the White House to see Cleveland. He was a
short, dark complexioned fellow, with rusty
clothes, a light blue brocaded silk scarf, and
a general air of dinginess about him. He
demanded to see the president and said that
he wanted the command of the navy of the
United States Cleveland had been nomi
mated through his aid, and it was through the
mathematical combination of his brain that
he had been elected He was very indignant
when he was sent away and went Off vowing
vengeance.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The lviaduot Question.


To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal;
The late meeting held by the citizens of the
South Side was attended by many representa-
tive men of that part of the city, one of whom
said This is the first meeting called for this pur-
pose that I have attended. 1 have, however,
educated my feelings upon this su A,ct to wait
until proper time to urge it upon the atten.
ton of the proper authorities. 1t is my opinion
that the time has come when the magnitude of
this great necessity should be estimated by the
citizens of Indianapolis with view of giving it
such consideration as its Importance demands
This statement was recognized by the meeting
an assurance that new forces were to be put
in operation. and that the time has most as
suredly come in which to prepare for undertak-
ing this essential Improvement. Our City Hall
is Guilt Our marker-house is under way. Our
State house will soon be completed. The people
of the South Side have waited and have paid
cheerfuy their share of the taxes to be expend-
ed for Improvements made the North Side.
They have braved the danger and delay for
many years OF this crossing. which hundreds of
them have been compelled to make every day in
liens of the North Side. Lives have been sacri-
feed and cripples have been made The people
have submitted to it because no money was in
the treasury-nor is there any at this time

for public improvement must be applied to max
ing this crossing. The South Side will wait un-
til this money is raised. but they will not wait
any longer without mixing some effort to i'm
press upon the Council and Board of Aldermen
that fu Their delay Is unjust, ungenerous to the
people and ruinous to the growth and prosperity
of the city
1t is said. with no unkindness toward the
many enterprising citizens north of the Virginia
avenue crossing. that if they oppose this inn
provement because it would be taxing them for
an expenditure that would enhance the value Of
property in that part of the city in which they
do not reside and turn new improvements and
employ new investments beyond the street on
which they live, they are uniformed about as
to what it takes to build up great city. The
citizens on the South Side have paid their share
OF the enormous sum expended on the State
ditch and other improvements from which they
have realized no eneftexcept that which results
to them as citizens of Indianapolis. These,
however. are matters that should only be men.
toned in connection with the opinion of some
that the South Side should build the Virginia
avenue viaduct without any aid from citizens

propriety. ask 20 be exempt from taxes to be ex-

argument. that the market house. the City Hail.

Freight Traffic.

The train records show that the car movement
of the week ending Aug. was the largest of any
week in many months, the increase being quite
general with all lines, more especially with the
Eastern roads il their through business, there
being larger movement of grain, lumber and
live stock. 1t is noticeable, as well. that west
bound traffic is increasing in tonnage, and will
likely increase from this time on for some
months. Local business is seldom heavier than
now. exceeding the usual tonnage for August.
To make the statements more complete, we ar
range the table showing the car movement some
what different from the usual form, giving the
movement Of loaded cars in the weeks re-
spectively ending July 49, July 30 and Aug. 6.
1t will be noticed that each week shows quite a
handsome improvement over that of Che preced
ing week, that of the week ending Aug. 6 show
ing that 96l moro loaded cars were handled than
in the week ending July 3d. and 2l69 more than
in the week ending July 70. Below is given the
movement for the three respective weeks:

etc. benefits the South Side, and the viaduct
will not benefit the people on the North Side,
Tor they have no occasion to use it, forgetting
that the business men on the north receive much
or their patronage from the people south of the
crossing. In estimating the benefit of the trade
south we must include the country also. From
no direction does more trade come than from
the south. Your correspondent knows from OBJ
servation. that this is true It is fact that the
country people are more disturbed about this
danger and inconvenience than many are aware
OF. We have known some of them to hitch their
teams on the south side and walk over Others
have said If we could do our trading over the
railroads we would not cross them. Anyone
who has watched the growth of the city during
the last twenty years will be compelled to admit
that on none of the great thoroughfares upon
which the city is entered have more general
supply establishments sprung up than on Vir-
GINA ayenue-which is owing to the fact that
these houses are demands, and that many of them
are the result of an increasing determination to
not risk life any oftener than has to be done.
The railroads, which have done much to build
up the city, have imposed an Inconvenience on
the south side Of the city that the north side
has not realized 1t may be said that this bur-
den has resulted In great general good to the
north as much as to the south Is it not right
that the north part should do something to re-
lieve the south from an inconvenience which
suits from causes that greatly benefit them?
Looking beyond ali these considerations let us
estimate this necessity by the value of human
life-by the number of accidents that have
happened there. These accidents, and the danger
OF more occurring, rise before the citizens and
demand attention. The present crossing is
standing menace over the lives of thousands of
our fathers. mothers wives and children. Shall
this not outweigh all other considerations Is
this OF itself not enough to make every citizen
resolve to keep his thought upon this subject
until a viaduct is built It will require time to
do it, but not more than two years should pass
until this great city is united by an improve
ment. which alone can make the city what it
should be. J. VIII.
