REPUBLICAN TOWNSHIP TICKET.
ASKING MERCY FOR PHILLIPS.
Petition Presented to the Governor Asking
the Communication of His Sentence.

A petition was filed with the Governor yester-
day afternoon asking him to commute
tbe sentence Of Robert Phillips, the negro wife
murderer sentenced to hang next Thursday, to
imprisonment for life. In urging mercy in be-
half Of the condemned man, the petition states
that "by reason of wound self-ir dicted at the
time the act for which he was condemned was
committed, he is complete physical wreck,
and Is now suffering from blood poisoning
throughout his system, from which but recently
30 lost one Of his fingers by amputation, and
disabled from breathing in the natural way
through the upper portion Of his windpipe, which
Is completely closed, and is enabled to respre
only through an artificial tube inserted from the
outside into the windpipe, at a point below
where the windpipe is closed as aforesaid, and
Immediately above and resting upon the sternum,
and that by reason of this, il he is executed
by hanging, as the sentence and the law requires,
the moose necessarily encirclng his neck above
the opening OF the said tube, will in nowise pro-
auce strangulation, or In any way interfere with
bis respiration, and thus bis death must neces-
sarily ensue from sheer physical exhaustion ard
not otherwise unless from decapitation Such
IN esecution would be an outrage on civilization
and simply barbarous In the interest of hu-
inanity and an enlightened civilization, your pe-
iitioners would therefore pray the Communication
OF such sentence to Imprisonment for life" The
petition bears the signatures Of 474 persons, a
number OF whom are prominent citizens The
petition has not yet been examined by the Gov
ernor.

The better class of farm land in Marion is now
assessed at the rate Of 800 per acre, but the
figures given above represent the average on all
classes of land.
There is general indignation among property
owners over the unjustifiable instructions given
to the deputy assessors by the Democratic off,
Gals for arbitrarily increasing the assessment.
simply because the County Commissioners need
a certain amount of revenue, and must raise it
in this way, regardless Of the fluctuations in the
value of property.
Said ex-Commissioner Frederick Ostermeyer,
yesterday: do not think real estate should be
appraised at more than sixty-five cents on the
dollar of its fair value. The appraisements
should be made with great care. There is much
property in this city and township appraised for
more than it would sell for to-day This is
specially true of small properties. The homes
of workingmen-littlep properties worth from $500
to 81, 200-are by this high appraisement made to
pay more, proportionately, than other property
The larger and more valuable properties are not
appraised in proportion. l know this to be so.
Henry Severin-I am fully aware of these
overappraisements They are certainly, in
many cases, much too high / have property
appraised at $40. 600 for assessment that will
take 90, 900 for.
W. d. Wiles-I think this high appraisement
is great mistake and an absolute injury to the
city. Parties who think to invest here will hes
itate when Ii comes to taxation like that pro-
posed by Assessor Messick and Commissioners
Eahm. II means everything else but progress.
don't know Of reader way to injure city.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1886-04-03

II would be q good thing to make law cempell-
ing the Commissioners to buy al the property
that is appraised SO much above its value.
d. w. Coffn-We have properly here in this
city we will sell for less than the appraisement
Howard Johnson-There is great deal Of our
city property appraised at more than it can be
sold for. and some. perhaps, appraised too low.
Outside lots are, a rule, appraised for taxa
ton at great deal more than they car be sold
for.
James T. Layman--I think the appraisement
is too high now. The high appraisement does
injury to Indianapolis. Manufacturers are anx-
ious to keep outside of IT. / do not think the
appraisement ought to be raised We can get
along with what we have.
George q. Webster, jr.-It is the freeholder of
moderate means who gets pinched worse, proper
tionately than any one in this matter of taxa
tion The-assessors have no trouble in finding
his little house and lot, and when they put their
appraisement upon the property 1t is almost in
variably up to its full market value The larger
and more valuable properties are treated with
more careful consideration.

Fined for Violating the Liquor Law.

Judge Ross Clark. yesterday, ordered Fred
BOSNIAN, liquor-dealer, to pay fine of $40 and
costs for violating the 11-o'clock law. The Judge
was inclined to be lenient and placed the fine at
SIS, but his attention being called to the limita-
'tion of $40 in the statute as the lowest fine that
can be assessed in this class of cases, corrected
the error. He took the case of FL. w. Sexton,
barkeeper for John Huegele, under advisement.

her aged mother and two hired men. The
men had gone fishing down the river. Judge
Armstrong with his wife, daughter Of fifteen

tempted to ford the river with a four horse
team. Going down the bank the horses be-
came unmanageable and ran into deep water,
upsetting the wagon and the family in to the
rapid current. Armstrong could not swim
and held to the lines, while the other four
were left struggling In the water.
Miss Macarthur, who was an excellent
swimmer, ran to the rescue throwing off her
heavier clothing on the way, She plunged
into the water, seized the boy and swan
ashore with him; then went back and brought
the girl ashore, and next Mrs. Armstrong.
Though very much exhausted, she swan out
again to rescue the sister, who wis fifty
