A HUNDRED MILLIONS INVOLVED.
Bearing Begun In q Case of Great Importance
in Indiana


CHICAGO, Sept ga dispatch from Indian
apolis says: Judge Taylor of the superior court
has begun hearing argument in case that in
wolves more money perhaps than any case ever
before brought in an Indiana court. The case
is the one in which the state board Of tax COM
missioners are attempting to compel the banks
Of the state to make public the names OF their
depositors and the amount to the credit Of each
Oh the first day OF last April.
Attorney General Smith estimates that If the
state wins the suit more than one hundred
millions will be added to the state duplicates
this year and a way will have been opened for
the assessment Of bank deposits for years to
come.
The particular case in which argument WINS
heard yesterday is the one in which Philip g.
Decker, president Of the German Bank Of
Evansville, is charged with contempt of the
state board Of tax commissioners for refusing
TO furnish the board with list Of the deposit
ors Of his bank, together with their balances,
April /. The case came into court on an agree
ment entered into between the tax commission
ers and bankers.
Decker was fined $500 and committed to
the county Jail until the fine is paid or re-
mitted. The case was brought before Judge
Taylor on a petition for a writ Of habeas
corpus granting Mr.. Decker his liberty. A
similar case against V. I. Malott, president of
the Indiana National Bank of this city, is
pending in the United States court.
By agreement the test of tho question in
volved is being made on Mr.. Deckers case.
Several prominent attorneys spoke, but . decis-
ion is not expected for several days.

NEW CABLE ROAD.
1t IL Promised TO BE Completed on the First
of November.

~ - HTomiseu 10 De soinpieteu on tne r. rst
of November.
By far the most interesting feature Of the
work Of constructing the new cable road on
Pennsylvania avenue was explained to the
Commissioners this morning by tho assistant
engineer of the work.
The business men and residents in the
nelghborhood of 18th street have been anxious
for some time to have the cable road COM
pieted about that point, fearing that it it was
put of much longer cold weather would
interfere and the street would remain
open all during the winter. But such will not
be the case, as it is the intention of the COM
pany to commence on that section of the
work the middle of next month and have il
completed about the LIST OF November.
Ii would be impossible and unnecessary 10
commence work there at present. the engineer
explained, as it has only been a few days since
the exact detail of the work had been decided
upon. This he considered the most intricate
situation on the entire road. Several
largo water pipes will have to
be changed and large sewer
viii have to be detected. Col Robert has re-
Trained from giving the company any permit
to do the work until they were ready TO go right
in and rush the work through. The special
castings will be here about the 10th of 0utober,
and work will commence shortly thereafter.

Thought TO Depend Upon the ELIMINATION
Of His Son From Pension ONCE AfEAirs.

Thought TO Depend Upon the Elimination
Of His Son From Pension ONCE AfKhars.
While officials Of the Interior Department
are reticent in regard to the rumors anost rel
ative to Gen. Raun, the commissioner Of PEN
sions, yet IL appears that the affairs Of the
pension bureau are being closely watched.
Some days ago q story was printed in the New
York Herald to the effect that young Mr..
Raum, who, some time ago. was allowed to re-
sign, still had sufficient influence in the man
agement of the Office to secure the promotion
Of employees. Two cases were cited in which Il
was charged that promotions were virtually
promised by young Mr.. Raum for considsra-
ton, and il was stated that proof in support Of
these charges had been furnished to Secretary
Noble in the form of afiidavits. Secretary
Noble, however, declines to either affirm or deny
this statement but it is believed that young
Mr.. Raum is receiving share OK his
attention. II Is well known that with
the exception Of the conduct of young
Mr.. Raum the administration of the pension
Office by Gen. Raum has been quite satisfactory
to Secretary Noble and the President. Mover
theless it is thought that Con. Raum's continu-
snce in the Office OF commissioner will depend
very largely upon the thoroughness with which
young Mr.. Raum and his influence are elimi-
mated from the administration Of tho pension
Office

RESTORING THE PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE ROADWAY.
With reference to the liability of the WASH
ingtou and Georgetown Railroad Company to
restore the roadway of Pennsylvania avenue
where it WIS injured by the temporary tracks
during the construction Of the cable road, the
Commissioners. at their board session today,
were unable to decide upon the methods
to be adopted to insure the restoration of
the pavement to its original integrity, and at
the same time not relieve either the contractor
who laid the pavement from his liability to
keep 1t in repair for five years, or the railroad
company as stipulated in the agreement under
which the work was done. The attorney was
with his recommendations at an early day.
CAN'T TAKE TIE NEXT BID.
Mr.. Sweeney. the bidder TO erect addition to
female workhouse, whose proposal was accepted,
notified the Commissioners last Saturday of his
inability to enter into contrac. under his bid
Having doubt as to their authority to award
the contract to the bidder next higher in price
the Commissioners asked Attorney Hazleton
for his opinion, who decides that this Lowest
bidder" having been recognized by the Com
missioners as q qualified bidder under the law.
and having been awarded the contract, based
upon the lowest responsible proposal. the
power OF the Commissioners has been ex-
hausted under this notice and the only alterna-
tive leftis that of advertising anew.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The pump on 5th street between P and Q
streets northwest has been ordered closed.
The water will be examined and if found fit for
use after the well has been cleaned a new pump
will be erected.
Pursuant to the opinion Of the attorney the
Commissioners today decided to readvertise
for proposals to construct an addition to the
female work house. The original proposal to
construct this building by A. w. Sweeney was
rejected upon his own statement that he bid
for it under an erroneous computation.
The Commissioners ordered today that the
Metropolitan Railroad Company be stopped
from doing any work Of changing its tracks
without a permit and that such permit mention
the places where different kinds Of pavement
will be allowed.
BUILDING PERMITS
were issued today as follows; ]. russell, nine
brick dwellings, 1I0l-11l7, alley northwest, lots
40 to As, square IA, $1,000. Mary Burr, one
brick dwelling, 2s11 o street northwest. $780,

nEcxLEss DRIVING AND 1rs RESULTS.

nEcXLEss DRIVING AND iTs RESULTS.
Last night there drove along NJ street at q
reckless rate three young men and two very
pretty girls. Their rig was stylish one and
attracted much attention from pedestrians, es-
pecially as the occupants wero talking and
laughing in an indecorous manner. When near
the corner Of 29th street the horse slipped and
the whole party we're thrown into the street
The men escaped unin jured, but the girls were
considerably shaken and were carried in the
store of Byrns Girvin, near by. 1t was then
discovered that the whole party, girls and all,
we're under the influence of liquor. The
younger of the girls, who was hardly seventeen,
tainted, and it was some time before she could
be brought to. In the meantime an officer APP
peared on the scene and arrested one Of the
men on a charge of reckless driving. At the
station he gave assumed name. but
refused absolutely to say anything that would
lead to the girls identity. 1t was, however,
learned from a bystander that they were of a
good family and resided in Washington. The
man deposited collateral and left. Soon after
that an officer was called to 32d street res
taurant, and, to his surprise, saw the same
crowd in q moro than intoxicated condition.
They had been carrying on in disgraceYul
manner, and when the Officer arrived the sis
ters (as they proved afterward to be) were
found in partly disrobed condition. Tney
begged piteously to be let of, and, finally, the
hayward girls mother was sent for and in her
company they were sent home.

The census ought 10 DO a. free from parti-

the defective results in the census Of 1870 were
traceable to the patronage system, while the
satisfactory results of the census taken
in 1850 were due 10 the elimination Of
craftsmanship from the census. The President.
says the report. although elected upon civil ser

result great numbers Of the bureau . employees
