HOT BUT FRUITLESS CHASE.
A Sergeant's Exciting Time with Man Ar
rested for Larceny. Who Broke Away.

Sergeant Joyce had an exciting advent
ure, yesterday afternoon. with prisoner
whom he had arrested, and who finally es-
capped, after hot chase. The officer was
near the News Office, when he noticed
William Hardy, powerful colored
man, who is wanted on charge of
larceny. standing near. Joyce put
the man under arrest, catching
him by the arm. He started, with the
prisoner, to call the patrol wagon. when
tie fellow began q desperate struggle to es-
cape. He finally broke away aud ran up
the alley near the News office. Joyce gave
chase, with q crowd following. The fugi-
tive turned into the alley opening on
Illinois street. and ran up that
thOrOughfare to Ohio. Running east
on the latter street he turned
into the alley which runs past the Hotel
English into the Circle. About this point
the officer, after calling several times to
the fleeing man. discharged his revolver at
him. The ball did not take effect, how
ever, and the chase continued. The fright
ened man doubled" and cut through sew
eral alleys until he reached New
York street. A number of persons
watched the chase at different
points, but none attempted to stop
the man when called upon by the officer.
Hardy, running west on New York street,
finally made good his escape, and the
breathless and disappointed officer was
forced to give up the chase.

needed for mounting these guns, lifts for
the larger guns, and carriages for the disap-
pearins guns, and it is quite
probable that it will be desirable
to manufacture some of them at the
Rock Island and Watertown arsenals; and
it may be that provision will be made tor
heavy guns, so that some of these can be
assembled at Rock Island. That is an ex-
cellent location, with good buildings and
power. and i am in favor of establishing
some branch of manufacture there in con-
nection with the heavy ordnance and field
material which will be required. But it is

THEIR BUSINESS COMPLETED.
The State Fltfists Hear Two Interesting Pa
pers and Elect Officers for the Year.

The Society of Indiana Florists concluded
its session yesterday morning. Secretary
Bertermann gave an interesting talk on the
cultivation of flowers at New Orleans. His
remarks were confined to observations
which he had made during a recent trip to
that city. His general impression was, he
said, one OF disappointment, and his con-
clusion was that the people of that section
do not appreciate their opportunities for
floral cultivation. A very good paper on
FLORIDA Floriculture7 was read by w. III.
Lawrence. The election of officers resulted
as follows:
President-M. A. Hunt, Terre Haute.
Vice-president-D. w. Cox, Charlottesville
secretary-William G. Bertermann Indianap-
oils.
Assistant secretary-John Harte, Indianapo-
lis.
Treasurer-C. F. Huntington, Indianapolis.
1t was determined TO take active steps to
have the florists represented on the State
Board OF Agriculture. Resolutions of re-
spect were adopted in memory of David

Richenbach Goes Cunning for Coy, and Tag
CART Seeks Support.
The reform contingent in Council, with
strongly partisan prOclivities of an indeli-
BILE Democratic stamp. has got the party
into serious trouble. The Hicklin hose
contract marked as 1t Is with special favor
to agent Plumb. representing the Baker
fabric article. was overshadowed yester-
day by the intensity of hostile declarations
ON the part of Little Boss Coy and
George Richenbach, supported by his
friends. Richenbach is the man once
selected by Democratic caucus
for East market master. One of
Richenbach's disappointed competitors
gave out that he had been sued by Cath
olic society, of which he was treasurer, and
that besides there were many things to
say regarding his unfitness for the posi-
tion. Reformers Woollen. Rassman and
Yontz had a spasm when they found what
had been done, and, with the assistance of
their reform organ, the News, brought
around q reconsideration of the caucus
nomination. Richenbach was put on the
shelf, and John Schildges, an attache of
County Auditor Taggarts office. got the
nothing but swear and denounce the Coy
Taggart-W O0llen combine. Some of the
traduced Richenbachs supporters began to
talk about tally-sheet forgeries and recall
incidents of the expenditure of money.
They went SO far as to On. mention ttn service in
out facts of undue influences peculiar to
Democratic politics.
Coy heard of this, and he. too, it is
said, doubled his fist. as if to reach
for Richenbach a mile or two away.
He proclaimed defiance to. the un-
fortunate candidate for market-master.
who has been virtually, with his
friends, kicked out of the Democratic party.
The little boss in a chOleric strain also men,
toned what he would do if Richenbach
and his crowd did not keep still. He also
referred to alleged transactions different
from the forgeries found on the tally-sheets
of 1856. He cried out against bad methods
in politics, and spoke of prisons. Richen-
bach heard of this yesterday, and started
out with a gun 70 find Coy. At last ac-
counts they had not met.
But in the meantime the anti-courb-
house ring was adding to the disturb
on another line and effectually too. Thomas
Cottrell. candidate for County Audi tor,
against Taggart, Is making his canvass on
a One-term platform. 1t is said to be meet
ing with such success that Taggart and his
crowd are seeking to check CottrelPs prog
ress among the salOon-keepers by referring
TO the Budenz letter. Mr. Budenz being a
loyal Democrat, went to the organ of re-
formers and Democratic heelers with his
letter when Cottrell was in the field for
Mayor. The News published it and 1t was
to the effect that no oself-respecting Democrat
would vote for COttrell because he was the
saloon-k keepers candidate. Cottrelps fac
tion says Taggart can use that letter as
much as he pleases, as it will lessen his
chances where he expects 10 procure a large
vote.

common talk among a certain class OF Dem
ocrats that Schmalholz did not suffer when
he got out OF Toms way four years ago.
Ii was publicly announced that this year
Schmalholz would again run for auditor,
and that Taggart would aid him. But
once more Toms influence was powerful

POUNDING In 4 CARTRIDGE.
A Boys Foolish Experiment with Revolver
Will Probably Cause His Death.

Charles McCrann, the eleven-year-old
son Of Thomas McCrann. travelling sales
man, living at No. 1913 West Pratt street,
was seriously wounded by the accidental
discharge of pistol in his hands at Ely's
plumbing store. No. 81 West Maryland
street, about o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The boy, who is employed there,
was experimenting with the weapon,
22-caliber revolver, and was
warned by bystanders to desist before an
accident occurred. He tried to force a
cartridge into one of the chambers of the
cylinder with monkey-wrench, striking
the end of the cartridge with the wrench,
while he rested the muzzle of the pistol
against his stomach. The cartridge ex-
plOded, and the ball entered the abdomen
to the left and little below the navel. Dr..
Edward Howard was called. and found the
boy suffering great pain and nausea. He
probed for the ball, but failed to locate it.
The wounded boy was removed to his home
by Flanner & Buchanan's ambulance. and
continued to grow worse. AT late hour
last night it was thought he could not re-
cover.

the victim of an outrage Wednesday night.
He was returning home from his work,
when hs was approached by colored
youth. who accused him of stealing lot of
fruit on Illinois street. The lad denied
the charge, when the colored boy, catching
the other by the arm, said that he
would take him to the police station. After
dragging the frightened boy down an alley
some distance. the negro said he would re-
lease him # the lad would give HIM all the
money in his possession. The latter had
no money. however. and was finally re-
leased. The police have been notified, and
are on the lookout for the offender.

Sleeping-Car Companies' Receipts.

The Auditor of State is preparing blanks
to send to sleeping-car companies for re-
ports of receipts during the year. upon
which will be based the amount of tax due
the State. The effort to collect tax on
their gross receipts two years ago was re-
sisted by the companies, and the case went
to the Supreme Court. That body held
that sleeping-car companies could be taxed
on gross receipts on business originating
and terminating in Indiana, thus prac-
tically declaring the law unconstitutional.
The last Legislature amended the law so as
to conform to the decision, and the blanks
are being prepared for the annual reports.
