To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
In view of the natural.gas situation and the
discussions going growing out of it, deem it
proper to rehearse its history and the various
moves connected with it. The Indianapolis
Natural Gas Company and the Capital City
Company had been organized when the Standard
Oil Company came to our city authorities with
prepared ordinance fixing prices and
providing conditions at which the sober
business sense of the people revolted.
The Council unanimously rejected the
terms. these companies joining The people in
backing the Council in its rejection. This was
followed by the appointment of a committee to
proceed to Pittsburg and other places to post

ton of their report they were assisted las am

companies. The ordinance prepared in this
way was reported and passed, and has since
been the law governing all parties in that be-
half. Then comes Major Doxy, giving notice
that he accepted the ordinance and proposed to
pipe his gas from Anderson. After taking
several thousand contracts he left. under what
influence is left mostly to conjecture.
Then comes the Standard Guffey Indianapolis
Company deal. on conclusion of which the latter
company at once announces that no company
pipe gas to Indianapolis under the terms of
the ordinance. and asks for advance of so

including illumination. This was the last
straw, resulting in the ''town meeting process,

THE HUMANE SOCIETY'S WORK.
Preparations Are Being Made to Give Partic-
ular Attention to All Cases of Cruelty.

There was a large attendance of ladies and
gentlemen at the meeting Of the Indiana HUI
name Association. at the parlors of Plymouth
Church, last evening Mayor Denny spoke on
the subject OF the statutes of Indi ana relating
to cruelty to children and animals. He said the
statutes OF Indiana on this subject were brief.
The sections relating to cruelty to animals are
numbered 2l01, 1871 and 2l08, and relating to
children 2l25. 2133. and Acts IS, page PIG.
Mayor Denny said the word animal" as used
in the statutes might mean ''fowls." In the
use of the word "tormentine" fowls may be in
cluded.
Mr.. George Car ter calledattenton to a recent
decision OF the Supreme Court in which the
court held fowls were included in the use of the
word animal" as used in the statute This,
Mayor Denny said. would settle this question.
In the section relating to killing birds the
Legislature in 1885 excepted the English spar
row, the wanton killing of all other species being
punishable The law further prohibits chill
dren under twelve years being employed and
worked IN certain factories at all, and in no
manufacturing establishment shall such a child
be kept at work more than eight hours per day.
The Mayor further read from the laws of other
States. showing how children and animals are
protected in those States. Mr.. Denny thought
Indianapolis should see that the present law is
enforced. The need is very apparent He read
an extract from letter written him by a promi-
nent Detroit citizen, saying, II saw more
cruelty 10 mules on 6JroeLcdrS In your city In
one day than can be witnessed in Detroit during
a month.
Rev Mr McCulloch spoke on the subject,
Cruelty to Children" He said courts are
reluctant to interfere with parents rights, but
in some cases he had got children taken from
parents and placed in the Reformatory. He
said there were instances of cruelty to children
on the streets Little girls are sent out at night
to sell papers and flowers to furnish money for
vile parents or those who hire them. lis it not
an act of cruelty 10 give anything to street-be
garsp he then remarked. THE sooner the pub
lie understands this the better"
Mr.. Vincent Carter spoke on the necessary
amendments to the law Mr. G. H. Shower,
treasurer, made report of the receipts and ex-
penditures. The question of employing an
agent was referred to the board of directors.
