Edward Niemeyer. who shot into street-car,
in West Indianapolis three weeks ago, and
seriously wounded Mrs. James Benson, a pas
seEger, had a preliminary hearing before Mayor
Denny, yesterday, and was bound over to the
grand jury. Niemeyer, who is but eighteen
years of age, testified that he was so drunk
when he fred the shot he did not know what he
was doing, and Jack ODay, who was with him,
corroborated this statement The evidence
showed that in all seven shots were fred but
only one of them went in the direction OF the
car. Nemeyer is the adopted son of the night
yard master of the l.. & N. railroad, at Evans
vile, and no friends relatives were present to
lend him assistance in getting out of the difficult
ty. Mayor Denny, in deciding the case. said
itwas one calling for some sympathy. He felt
felt convinced the youth had no intention TO in
jure anyone, but fred the shots while under the
influence of drink. He did not believe the grand
jury would ever return indictment for at
TEMPTED murder. but still he thought Niemeyer
should be punished, and taught lesson that he
would remember the rest of his life. The
practice of carrying concealed weapons would.
he said, have to be stopped, and other young
men should learn a lesson from what the pris-
oner had done. The Mayor had desire to see
reduced the bond from $1,000 to $3.50. 1t is
probable Niemeyer will find bondsman and be
released. James Benson, the husband of the
injured woman, says she is still suffering much
from the wound, but will recover.

Proposed Evan gelissic Meetings.

The Rev. B. Fay Mills, whose evangelistic
1abors in the Eastern cities have been attended
by marked success, has been invited to hold a
series of meetings in this city. He was recently
in Philadelphia, where the largest halls in which
be spoke were crowded at the afternoon and
evening services. At one of the Sunday meet
ings between three and four hundred people ex-
pressed interest in religion for the first time.
One of the Philadelphia papers calls him a
second Moody. An additional interest attaching
to Mr. Mills's proposed visit here is in the fact
that his father was once pastor of the Second
Presbyterian Church. The minister's whose
names were attached to the invitation sent to
Mr.. Mills are: Revs. DR.. Mcleod, II. A. Edson
DR.. Reuben Jeffery. DR.. Gilbert, NJ L. Haines,
John Baltzley. N. A. Hyde, and A W. Lamport.
These ministers will meet this week for the pur-
pose of making definite arrangements for the
conduct of these evaneelistic meetings, which
are to begin about the middle of March.

INDIANA's WAR MONUMENT.
The Most Noteworthy Memorial Yet Under.
taken IN This Country


New York Sun.
The competition for the design of the Indian
apolis monuments has resulted in the success of
Bruno SchInitz, of Berlin to whom the award
made Friday. The half dozen other
European and more than sixty American COM
pettors will probably feel it no discredit to have
been defeated by the artist whose design was
accepted for the Italian national monument at
Rome.
Numerous and costly as are soldiers 1nonu-
ments in the United States, Indiana's project Is
exceptionally noteworthy. By act of the
Legislature, approved the Sd of March last.
the sum of $500. 900 appropriated, to be used
with other funds, which may increase 1T to hair
as much more for erecting State monument

the task assigned to five commissioners,
mot less than two of whom shall belong to each
of the two leading political parties of the State
They were empowered to advertise for designs
for the monument in New York, Boston, Gin

best design or plan, and 5000 for the second
best The monument was to be erected in Cir
Gle Park. the central point of Indianapolis, the
State capital.
the commissioners, showed that two artists or
firms of artists in New York, two in Boston,
two il Chicago and one each in philadelphia.
Cincinnati Indianapolis and ST. Louis, had been
invited to prepare sketches for the proposed
structure, at honorarium of 5000 each. and
that other architects and sculptors not so in
vited by name were equally eligible to compete.
1t suggested that, If possible, the present
bronze statue of Morton, Indiana's war governor,
now in Circle Park, should be, in some way, in
corporated with the monumental structure or
made to bear a relation thereto. 1t was further
provided that the design might comprise either
a column or a memorial hall, with mosaics, bas
reliefs, and groups of statuary. The reward Of
fered to the author of the selected design was
that of being appointed supervising architect or
sculptor, with commission of per cent on
the total cost of executing it, so that Mr..
Schmitz may be expected to take up his resi-
dence temporarily in Indianapolis to superintend
the work.
It only remains now to express the wish that
Iudiana's satisfaction with the completed work
may be commensurate with the hberality she
has shown in making provision for the great
monument.

THE LAWS SEVERAL PHASES
A Petty Political Trick Exposed in the
Acquittal of Jones and Dixon.
Whisky aud Revolver Bring a Young Man
Into Serious Trouble-0ther Matters Con-
corning Litigants and Their Complaints.

Alexander A. Jones and William Dixon, the
colored janitors of the Auditor and Secretary of
States offices, indicted for stealing books be-
longing to the State, were tried before Judge
Irwin yesterday. The prosecution failed to COM
plete its case. although the evidence offered was
the same upon which the late Democratic grand
jury just before the city election last fall re-
turned the indictments. 1t was then apparent
that the charges were made against these men
for political purposes only on the part of Demo
cratic local politicians, as Jones has always
been an active Republican worker among his peo-
pie. Both Jones and Dixon claimed at the time
the indictment returned that they
had sold no books except when per-
mitted to do so by the State officers,
and they readily proved to the court yester-
day the truthfulness of their assertion.
AS soon as Prosecutor Mitchell saw the nature
OF the case he turned it over to his deputy. jobs
doitzman. NJ L. Stokes, Sentinel reporter,
upon whose evidence principally the Indictment
was returned, knew nothing except that he had
gone with Secretary of State Griffin to the Indi-
ana Paper Company and found two or three
boxes OF old rubbish among which were some
documentary reports, House and Senate jour
nails, and few Acts of Congress. The dray
man who hauled the waste paper away from the
State Offices testified that the accused delivered
to him several sacks full of books, but he did
not know what they were One or two junk
ucdlers SAID they purchased several SACKS OF
books from Jones and Dixon, which were
generally taken away during the day John W.
Coons, deputy Auditor of State told the court
he had given Jones permission to sell
large number of auditors reports of back years,
together with other books and papers of no
value. He also said it had always been the Gus
tom of the State officers to allow the janitors 10
have the perquistes arising from the sale of old
books and papers. The employees in the Secretary
OF States Office gave evidence to the effect that
Jones and Dixon had permission to sell some
old and damaged volumes. and that no books OF
any value to the State had ever been taken away
by them. Employees Of other State Offices testi-
ned to the same fact. and several prominent
gentlemen Endorsed the good character of both
Dixon and Jones. After the evidence had been
submitted Prosecutor Mitchell said it
necessary to argue the case. The defendants
were then acquitted.
