the same kind, and the only encourage
ment he ever got was that he himself
could cure himself if he would only
stop drinking. "The difficulty with
that was" he said, that whenever
began a spree ! never meant to take
but one drink TO make me feel better.
! At least that IS what 4 said to myself

Il test OF the treatment. In my prsvI-

that day, the first drink would have
been followed by an almost immediate
desire for more liquor: but the after

handed me the whisl1ey. 1 declined

want it. asked for no more and from
that evening till now have never

A REQUISITION REFUSED.
Legal Complications Arise in the Case of Nc.
Neal Arrested and Convicted.

The Governor of Indiana yesterday re-
fused q requisitIon from the Governor of
Ohio for the return to that State of JARVIS
j. Hilton, of Martinsville. to answer to a
charge of kidnapping. The history tina.
precedes this requisitlon is interesting.
About a year ago Hilton was appointed
agent of the State of Indiana for the arrest
and rendition of Charles McNeal. charged
In Morgan county with the crime of grand
larceny, and who was a fugitive from JUS
tice, residing in Ohio. 1t seems that after
committing this crime in Indiana he had
gone to Ohio, and, having been convicted
of a crime there, was sent to the Ohio peni-
Tertiary for several years. AS he was leav-
ing the prison. his term having expired,
Hilton appeared and arrested him for the
grand larceny committed In this State.
Upon this the question was raised as
to whether he had authority to do
this, inasmuch as the warrant
issued by the Governor of Ohio
upon the requIsition of the Governor of
of Franklin county, Ohio, who was to ar
rest McNeal and turn him over to Hilton.
Fearing delay, Hilton had himself gone to
the prison and arrested McNeal. forciblv
placed him in a carriage. in which he drove
to O way-station. end thence brought him
to Indiana. This happened a year ago.
McNeal was convicted and sent TO the In
diana State Prison South for five years.
The proceedings charging Hilton with kid
napiDg is brought by: James McNeal. q
get even with Hilton. Governor Hoyey
refused tho requisitlon for the reason that
the proceeding was based upon an affidavit
and not upon an indictment against Hilton.

Caught in the Change Racket.

The change racket appeared on the
East Market yesterday in all its pristine
guile. The operators were John Berry and
Daniel Ill. potato peddlers. These two in
vested in FIVE cents worth Of pears, buying
them of Thomas and Oscar Adams, to whom
they rave a two-do'lar bill, receiving S1.a5
in change. John n Daniel then dlscov-
cred they had a nickel, and asked for the
return of the bill, which was handed to
them, and they walked of, the pears and
sl.9O ahead Of the game. Thomas and
Oscar scratched their heads q minute OF SO
in O vain endeavor to solve the problem.
They then stated the case to a couple of
police officers, and the potato men we're
arrested and taken to the station-hOuse.

A Revised Report,

The city engineer has made a revised re-
port upon hatStevens-street remonstrance.
and another effort will be made to put the
improvement through. Two names rave
been withdrawn from the remonstrance
and some others have been found not to be
residents of the street. As the engineers
report now stands it shows thirty-six peo-
pie owning property on the street, of whom
three are non-residents of the city. and ten
more are not residents of the street. though
residing in the city. Unde Bailey's ruling
this leaves twenty-three who have o say in
the matter. Of these twelve are on the re-
monstrance, eight are on the petition and
three are neutral. The remonstrance con-
tains twenty-five names still, but ten of
them are non-residents of the street, and,
under Bailey's ruling, they do not count.

The Wrath of Mr.. Sterne.

T. w. Sterne. a well-known carpenter.
had a very lively round with the clerk of
the Board of Public Works yesterday aft
ernoon. He came into the office and want
ed to know if the board had ever done
anything about restoring and protecting
Linden street. The clerk didn't know any
thing about it.
''Of course not" said Mr.. Sterne. You
folks cart rubbish away to private dumping
ing grounds at large expense while this
thing has gone on down there until eighty
feet of that street is washed away" The
clerk saw trouble ahead and hustled Mr..
Sterne into the private room. Pretty soon
Sterne's voice. in o high pitch, ioated out
in this fashion: "Oh, the South Side!
Thunder, man! you haven't done anything
down there. you didn't have to. We might
as well be living out of the world"
why. there's the viaduct," pleaded the
clerk.
What have you fellows had TO do with
the viaducti' retorted Sterpe. After ten
years of constant popular agitation the
Union Railway Company has come to see
that it can no longer put on the viaduct
without causing a riot. and it is proceeding
TO build one. 1t would have gone on Just
the same. Sullivan or no sullivan

THE REFORM ADMINISTRATION.
1t Permits Big Corporations to Do as They
Please with the Streets.

1t Permits Big Corporations to Do as They
Please with the Streets.
The big quasi-public corporations. the
street-railroad company and the gas COM
panies, own the streets completely at pres
ent, and do as they please with them de-
spite the restrictions laid upon them by or
dinances which the present municipal ad-
ministration makes no effort to enforce.
Attention was called the other day to the
dangerous shape in which the Citizens
company has left the intersection of Ohio
and Pennsylvania streets, the goose pond
it has created at Alabama street and Mas
sachusetts avenue, and to its closing up of
Shelby street. 1t has more recently torn
up the asphalt on Washington street about
the transfer car, and made DO effort as yet
to restore the street, nor have any OF
these other places been attended to.
Tho natural-gas companies, in making
their extensions and connections, continue
the work OF running every street they
touch. The gas ordinance of 1887 has the
most stringent provisions requiring the
companies to at once restore the streets to
their original condition after tearing them
up. n each company Is unde bond OF
5000 to comply with these provisions.
They pay no more attention to these re-
Guirements than If they were not there.
North Tennessee, North Mississippi. North
Alabama and dozens Of other streets are
full of chuck holes marking the course of
the gas mains and connections. The COM
panies, in retilling their trenches. never
dream of such a thing as tamping the dirt.
1t is thrown in loose. piled mp over
the trenches and the rest is left TO time and
the weather. After the trenches settle they
invariably fall lower than the rest of the
street, and chuck-holes are the result. An
excellent instance of this sort of work may
now be seen by following the course Of the
Indianapolis Gas Company's new main
through the First ward. These matters
have been called TO the attention of the
Board of Public Works time and again, but
the practice continues undated.
