P!anh;ng ". Paving.

An acknowledged authority wisely
puts forth the following observations in
regard to street planking AMI paving.
The time j. soon coming when Olvln-
pla viii have to 90 something better
for her streets IL the business centers
than she is now doing. The old-fash-
Toned cobb! lc stone pavement i death
To- horses AMI most Objectionable in
many "ther WAYS. Wooden paving
l. gaining III favor in many of
tie Older cities where even stone
paving has proved Il failure. ii the
estimates stated below a, to the cost
to pfopectg owners and the length OF
time that cellar block paving will last
then IN the lpng run, il is not so much
more expensive than gravel, as might
be at first supposed.
The disposition to plank" instead
81 to pave certain streets should be
discouraged. Flauking has but little
to commend Itself outside the cheap
ness. 1t is a makc-shift only and one
that Its advocates will rue in time.
The additional cost OF Il good subStan-
! tai cedar block pavement will not hc
so great rs to be burlensome, and in
the long run it will prove much the
cheaper. \ cedar block pavement
properly put down will not cost to ex-
coed $3.50 per lot, and it will last at
least ten years. 1t makes delightful
drive and can be kept sweet and clean
without any trouble. Planks are a
menace III more than one way. They
burn readily and the accumulation of
hlth underneath is the fruitful cause
OF sickness. Cedar block pavements,
with n good gravel foundation and
with the interSticcs filled with asphalt.
makes an excellent pavement, and one
that has been endorsed by the city OF
London where the heavy traffic puts
1t to severe test. The cedar block
pavement combines cheapncss, dura-
bility, cleanliness and noiselessness
with elasticity, which last is II con-
sideration when the condition OF the
limbs and feet of horses is Il matter of
concern, as it should be.
Thus it will be seen that this system
involves many vital considerations
well worthy OF dcliberation of the
street committees.
The city OF Chicago adopted this
plan more than twenty years ago and
1t WAS not until the great fire visited
that city that the wooden pavements
were o5litcrated from her streets. 1t
would not be at all premature for the
city authorities Of Olympia to take
this matter into consideration.

ALREADY a feeling of bitterness is
growing in Western Pennsylvania
against the Pittsburg Fishing Club
that kept up that stupendous menace
to life, the Conemaugh dam. This
feeling will probably continue to grow
for sometime, and it need not be sur
prising to hear of attacks on the
lives Of some OF the sporting men by
some one, driven wild by his losses in
the destructive flood. The summer
bowers about the lake have already
been attacked, furniture smashed and
other depredations committed. And
yet there are others, beside the young
men who are not altogether blameless.
Officials examined the dam and pro-
nounccd 1t not safe, but the Govern
ment took no steps toward repairing
it or compelling its owners to repair it.
WHEN the history of the Seattle fire
comes to be written, it will record that
the Journal was the first daily paper
to appear i'll its usual form, which it
did on Wednesday morning, one week
after the fire. The Journal saws !:
" Every man now in Seattle who wants
to work can find something to do il he
is not too fastidious. There will be
work for thousands in Seattle during
the next year, and in fact, contractors
are even now finding trouble in secur-
ing help enough"

THE CRONIN MURDER CASE.
Prisoner Kunze Denied Synopsis of the Grand
Jury Evidence That Indicted Him.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-When Judge McCon-
nelPs court was opened this morning, coun-
sci for the defense in the Cronin case re-
newed their motion that the summoning of
veniremen be taken out of the hands of Sher-
iff MatsOn, and be intrusted to a special
bailiff appointed by the court. Counsel for
the State admitted that the statute is man.
datory on the subject, and the motion was
accordingly granted. The application of
defendant Kunze for bill of particulars of
the evidence ON which the grand jury in
dicted him, also came up. ln denying
Kunze's application Judge Mcconnell said:
THE court has given the application of
defendant Kunze a patient and sympa-
thetic hearing. In a certain line of cases it
Is permissible to grant what is asked for,
but the court must not assume the role of
legislator, and In the absence of precedents,
nc matter how kindly disposed he might
feel, the Judge must not create new laws.
The State does not require preliminary
examination as a precedent OF an indict-
ment, and there is no provision made for
the publication of the proceedings Of the
grand jury. In fact, particular care has
been taken to keep its minutes secret.
AS to the other part of the application,
which asks for synopsis of the circum-
stances on which the State relies for the
iIpHcatlon Oh hunZe III the conspiracy,
the court said that in all murder
cases, circumstantial evidence played
an important part. Even the testimony
of eye-witnesses, who saw the killing. could
not be said to be positive. since killing
alone does not constitute murder. SO many
incidents, of apparently trivial Importance,
might be of vast relevancy as tending to
show states of mind. that telling what they

KATIE HOOD WAS MURDERED.
The Connersville Mystery Cleared by the Find
ing of Her Body-Intense Excitement.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CoNNERsvILLE. Ind, Sept. 30.-Ever since
the pretty sixteen-year-old daughter of
farmer John Hood disappeared so suddenly
and so mysteriously from the residence of
Michael Shoenig Saturday evening. Sept.
81, the search for her has been iDcessant,
and some of the best detective talent of the
State has been employed in the work.
Early this afternoon the efforts Of the de-
tectives were rewarded by the finding of
her hfeless body in the canal near the
town. The remains bore unmistakable
evidence that the girl had been murdered.
There was large and deep hole in the
head showing that the death
blow had been struck with some blunt in
strument. The body was much bruised,
and the clothing had been torn to shreds.
There was every indication of fierce strug-
gle of life and death before the fatal blow
was struck.
The strange disappearance of Miss Hood
had already created intense excitement,
which was augmented daily as the unsuc-
cessful search was prosecuted. The fnd-
ing of the body to-day has heightened this
feeling to the superlative degree, and were
her murderer positively known his life
would not be worth much. A heretofore
prominent and respected citizen has been
intimately connected in the popular mind
with the disappearance, and it is not inn
probable that he may be arrested and
called to account for it. He was often seen
riding with her during the summer.

1T WAS A WICKED CONSPIRACY.
All the COnspirators in the Flack Divorce Case,
Except Judge BOOkstaver, Indicted.

New YORK. Sept. 30.-At noon, to-day, the
grand jury came into Part 1, General Ses-
sions, with the result of their investigation
of the Flack divorce case. Foreman Fos-
dick read long presentment, which stated
that the jury gave the case very careful
consideration, and had called before them
and examined every person who could
throw any light on the conspiracy. They
were satisfied that there was a wicked con-
spiracy. That such conspiracy could be
carried on under cover of law was of great
public concern. The jury called the atten-
tion of the Legislature to the pernicious
system of appointing referees to take testi-
mOAy in divorce cases. The testimony
should be taken by judges in open court
The harm which would be done by the pub
licity of such evidence would be far less
than that which befalls when things are
done in secret, ''It is obvious" runs the pre-
sentiment. that the decree Of divorce could
not have been obtained without the sane
tion of Judge Bookstaver. That sanction
was obtained partly by deceit and impOsture,
and partly either by judicial negligence or
judicial coliusiOn, If by negligence. such
was inexcusable; if by collusion, such was
criminal. We have not determined which,

nicious habit of lawyers allowing their
names to be used in cases in which they are
not employed. Lawyer Wright. while it
might be said he intended no wrong still
deserved to be censured. Ambrose Mcneil
and Joseph Weeks, the jury thought, had
imposed on the court, and had obtained the
divorce by collusion, deceit and fraud. The
presentment concluded by stating that the
Jurors. after the most careful investigation,
had come to the conclusion that wicked
and criminal conspiracy had been commit
ted, and the persons whose names appeared
on the accompanying indictments deserve
TO be treated according 70 law. Foreman
Fosdick then handed Judge Gildersleeve
the presentment and the indictments.
District Attorney Fellows stated late this
afternoon that the following persons were
indicted in connection with the Flack con-
spiracy case, and would be in court to-
morrow TO plead: Sheriff James A. Elack,
William l.. Flack. his son; Judge Ambrose
Mcneil, counsel for the sheriff; Thomas
Meeks, referee In the divorce proceedings;
Mrs. Raymond, correspondent in the case,
and George ID. Hart. brother-in-law of the
sheriff.

Servian Offcials Dismayed at tho Warm
Greeting rendered the Ex-Oueen.
LONDON. Sept. 30.-The enthusiastic well
come given to ex-Queen Natalie by the
pOpulace of Belgrade astonished. if. indeed,
it did not dismay, the government officials,
who sought to accentuate their displeas-
ure at the persistence of the royal lady in
disregarding their wishes respecting her
visit to her son. The extent of the demon
stration was so great as to render the lack
of courtesy Oh the part of the government
officials unnoticeable. and to move the ex-
Queen to tears. The houses along the prin-
cipal streets. as well as the residences of
the nobility and inhabitants of the
better class. Were profusely and beau
tifully decorated. and, In all respects,
the reception surpassed anything of
the kind that has ever been seen
at the Servian capital The most
notable exception to the rule of decoration
of private residences was that of Madame
Christich. wife of the late Servian minister
to Germany, aad mistress of ex-King Milan.
This omission can be regarded by Natalie
in no other light than as complimentary,
since it is a matter of court nctoriety that
the .ex-Queen took occasion to so publicly
express her detestation of Madame Christ
ich and her appreciation of the Kings
lack OF decency in bringing his mistress

He Favors "stesring" Committee to Control
the Factions of the House Democrats.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Sept. S0.-Congressman
Oates. of Alabama, the one-armed ex-con-
federate, who led the filibusters in the last
Congress against the direct-tax bill, and
who is one of the ablest men on his side of
the House. was recently in Washington,
and now sends back some expressions. He
bitterly opposes the proposition to have a
Democratic leader who viii hold the reins
and crack the whip over the Democratic
members of the Fifty-frst Congress He
regards Mr.. Randall as being on
the other side of the fence from
the majority of his party, while, with
Sunset Cox dead, the Breckinridges
cannot control the body of Democrats
located In the North. He does not believe
that Mr.. Carlisle will be able TO lead the
Democrats en- masse. The Democrats"
says Mr.. Oates, Twill never follow a leader
like the Republicans The Republicans,
like flock of sheep. will jump the fence
and follow the bell-wether wherever
he goes Our people kick up behind be-
cause there are issues, within, our ranks;
revenue. and the Southern question, on
which we divide. 1 think that
there should be a steering committee
appointed from the most conspicuous
Democrats in the House, whose business it
will be to suggest lines of policy and sub
NIT them from time TO time to the caucus.
We will know just what we are doing then.
and if we have any differences we can set
tie them in caucus instead of on the floor
of the House in open session."
The fact is, the Democrats In the Fifty
first Congress are so split up on the issues
that they can never come together. and
there is something forcible In what Mr..
Oates says. A steering" committee can
be composed of member OF each
wing of the party. For instance. tarif-pro-
lection. Randall; free-trade, Carlisle; anti
negro, Oates; solid-South, Breckenridge and
others representing an unfair count, unre-
construction and bulldozing, can compose
the committee. If nothing else is done it
can agree that every effort shall be bent
toward keeping the Republicans from maxi
ing legislation. Colonel Oates is very out
spoken in what he has to say-almost re-
bellious-and if what he has indicated is to
be put with the recent utterances of Rep
resentative Bynum, of Indianapolis, the
Democrats are laying the pipes to spend
six OF eight months flibusterlng and fight
ing against legislation pledged by the Re-
publican party.

past there has been newspaper contro-
versy between A. G. Poole, editor of the

of Vernon parish. A few days ago Poole
sent McAlpin challenge, which the latter
did not accept. Last Friday morning the
challenge was repeated, and Poole followed
it up and went into the sheriff's Office with
his pistol in his hand, while McAlpin was
reading the challenge, and said to McA1pin:
"Now is the best time we will have to set
tie differences" McAlpin drew his pistol,
Poole opening fire first. Several shots were
fired by both parties, McAlpin emptying
the contents of his pistol in Poole's head

died few hours later from wound in the
abdomen. it being the effect of the second
shot fired by Poole.
