THE CENTRAL UNIONS TAXES.
Inside History Of the Telephone Company's
Injunction Suit Against Auditor Adams.

In regard to Col. A. W, Hendricks's statement
as to the agreement between himself and Coun-
ty Auditor Adams concerning the time of in
creasing the value of the Central Union compa-
ny's plant for purposes of taxation, Mr. Adams
said last evening that on Thursday the COM
panys attorneys gave him notice that they
wanted moro time. He told Colonel Hen
bricks that he had no objection to
granting more time. provided the coun-
tvs rights were not jeopardized by it.
Mr.. Hendricks then said he might as well
bring an injunction suit at once. Mr. Adams an
swered that as that was intended he would put
the increase on the list in half an hour. Mr..
Hendricks then said he would take no steps in
the matter till Saturday.
Afterward Colonel L N Walker, who was a
witness to the above conversation, received an in
tlmation that the companys attorneys were pre-
pairing papers and taking steps toward securing
an injunction. Mr.. Adams was informed of this,
and at once put the increase in valuation on the
list
Mr. Adams says very materialpoint is gained
Tor the county. by the increase having been
made by the auditor before the suit was brought.
Colonel Hendricks to the contrary notwithstand-
ing Had the auditor been enjoined the burden
OF proof that the companys property was worth
the total OF the assessment and the increase
would have been upon him. Now the injunc
ton suit will have to be brought against the
county treasurer, and the burden of proof in
such state of affairs is upon the companys

A Suit by the Receiver of Fletcher Sharpe's
Bank Against the County officers.

William Wallace, receiver of Fletcher g.
Sharpe, has brought suit against the County
Commissioners, county auditor and county treas
urer, asking that they be enjoined from collect
ing taxes on $50, 900 in money, in his possession
receiver in April, 1885. and on $14O 900 of In
dianapols bank stock all of which is among the
assets OF the firm. He sets forth that the $780,
900 was for the payment of the indebtedness of
the firm, which was, in April. 1885, more
than a million and a half of dol
lars, and that the money has since
been paid out to creditors The $40 900 is stated
to be pledged to the Connecticut Mutual Life In
surance Company as collateral for an indebted
pess of $235.0 00 The Indebtedness of the firm
is now over 81 O00 600, and is $780, 900 in excess
of the assets. For these reasons the plaintiff
asks an injunction against the parties named,
alleging that the claims for taxes constituted
cloud and an apparent lien on the property The
case will come up in Judge Taylor's court this
morning.

An Attempt at Incendiarism.

On Thursday night Mr.. Matthews, a saloon
keeper, noticed four men in shed in the yard
back of the indianapolis Stove Company's foun-
dry, who were evidently trying to set something
on fire. When he approached them they put
outthe light and fed. When he came to the shed
he found they had piled up some car waste
against it, which had been fired and then put
out Matthews kept on the lookout, and in
short time he saw them again at another part
of the building. but when he approached they
again fled He then notified the night watch
man, who saw them again at the building. but
they fed before he could get near enough to
them to tell who they were He afterwards
found them in box-car, over on the Vandalia
tracks, but they escaped from him. In each of
the places where they had been car-waste was
found. and the Vandalia hands found several
wheel boxes of the cars standing on the tracks
depleted of the waste.

A ROW IN A CHURCH.
Trouble Between the Pastor of the First Ger
man Reformed Church and His Flock.

The congregation of the First German Re-
formed Church is in a condition of ferment that
is likely to result in the removal of its pastor,
Rev. Christian F. Keller. Mr. Keller made him
self unpopular by trying to bring into his con-
gregation the discipline of the church as it ex-
lists in Germany He recently visited all the
members who were somewhat irregular In their
attendance. and told them that unless they came
oftener they would be kicked out At the Janu-
airy meeting he and his adherenrs were beaten in
the election of church officers. At a subsequent
meeting he grew angry and virtually called all
the members liars, except one. Leonard Brown
arose and called him another The pastor then
assumed the dictatorship, and dissolved
the council that had been elected,
after the fashion of Mr.. Oliver
Cromwell. He then appointed spiritual coun-
Gil after his own heart" The congregation then
called a meeting of the Indiana Chassis, which
is body composed of the pastors of all the
churches in the State. This body met Wednes-
day night. and wrestled with the difficulty till
o'clock Thursday morning. The decision has
not yet been rendered, but it is predicted that
the trouble will end in the dismissal of the pas
