TO ENTERTAIN VETERANS
Legislature Passes an Enabling Act for
the Indianapolis City Council,
And That Body Will Be Asked to Appropriate
$4,000 for the Encampment-Gene
Mans0nS Request

After two or three futile attempts to get
the floor in the House yesterday, Mr. Man.
son u. johnson put in an act enabling the
City Council of Indianapolis to vote an
appropriation of $4,000 for the entertain
ment of the National Encampment of the
Grand Army, the sum to be collected by
special tax levy of 4ls cents upon each
500 of taxable valuation. The bill was
prepared by the Grand Army encampment
executive board. and 1t was supposed that
it would meet with no opposition. as none
OF the heavy taxpayers who have been I'M
willing to contribute to the fund were
aware thatit was to be introduced. Mr..
johnson moved its passage under suspension
of the rules. but DR.. Passage moved Its
reference to the judiciary committee.
Here Mr.. Alder. who has been the con-
sstent opponent of the encam pmeDt, know
Ing that this bill would pass practically
without opposition. saw an opportunity To
give the project an undermined stab, and
proceeded to deliver lt. Il am In favor OF
this bill" he said. with sneering smile.
1--WE have heard something about an effort
TO get tho State to take care of this en-
campment for Indianapolis, but am glad
TO see that Indianapolis Is now willing to
take care of it herself. OF course, the i'm
plication is to he understood that If the
oSdtc SCo 1uuiduhpoiS CudoAhS NV
Indianapolis will ask the State for no
further help in the matter"
The vote was then taken. upon euspen-
sion OF the rules. resulting favorably by
vote of 81 TO 4. Upon the vote for the final
passage of the bill the only votes against it
were those of De. Blair and Nh. Askren.
The bill will probably go TO the Senate to-
day. and an effort will be made to put it
through there In the same way.
A move will at once be made upon the
City Council to have the ordinance appro-
prlating the S75.000 and levying tax TO
raise 1T, passed. as the members of the Leg
isIatufe are waiting to see what the city
proposes to do before passing the bill to
appropriate $4,000 for the encampment
from the State treasury. More memorials
from Grand Army posts were yesterday
presented to the Legislature urging the ap.
preparation, and the venerable General
Manson. while he had the rostrum during
the recess. for receiving the Mexican war
veterans put in q modest but effective
plea. "A word" said he, lin re-
gard to the coming entertainment of the
civil war veterans. 1t does not become me
to tell You what TO do but let me beg of
you to be as liberal as you can in doing the
States part toward entertaining this
great gathering"
House Bill 269 authorizing the city of
indianapolis to levy tax for the enter
tainment of the encampment. was en-
crossed by the Senate late in the after
noon.
Senators Cranor and Magse offered petit.
tions from q. A. r. posts for the $50, 900 en-
campment appropriation.

Sen timent Elsewhere.


The sentiment among the old soldiers of
Jacksonville is quite as strong as it seems
to be elsewhere in the State in favor of
Indiana joining in the Inequalities to visit
ing veterans at the National Encampment
They do not want an encampment that
would be exclusively an Indianapolis
affair. They want the State to have q
share in it. and to feel that they them
selves have some voice as guests. COM
mitteo was appointed to draft resolutions
expressing these sentiments at meeting
of j John Craig Post, No. sc. The committee
Is composed of William Faucet. Post Com
mander. Phillip Specht. William Powers.
f. NJ. Short and V. DRILL They reported
the following:
Resolved. That this post DO everything in its
power to forward the holding of the National
Encampment in Indianapolis in 1898, and, so far
as may be in our power. endeavor to make the
same q success.
Resolved That our Representative and Sem
ator in the state Legislature OF Indiana be re-
quested to do all they can to secure the passage
of resolutions to aid and assist in properly en-
pertaining the National Encampmenr, O.. A. r.,
by appropriating $50, 900 for that purpose.
The New Castle veterans want the Grand
Army National Encam pment to be made q
great State affair, and they want their Wis
itlng comrades to receive from Indiana the
same recogn ition that they have had in
other States. The subject was discussed at
the regular meeting of George w. Lennard
Post. No. l4S, &. A. r., and the sentiment
of the post was set forth in the following
resolution:
Resolved, BY George W. Lennard Post, No.
las, Department of Indiana. that we hereby pc
tition our Representative. the Hon. Thomas n.
White. and our Senator, the Hon. l.. p. Newly,
TO vote for the bill now pending in the Legis-
lature for the appropriation OF $4,000 for the
purpose of defraying the expenses of the Ma
tional Encampment of the G. A. r. to be held in
Indianapolis in September next and that q copy
of these resolutions be sent to our State Repre-
sentative and Senator by the adjutant under the
seal of the post.
at o special meeting of Shiloh Post, No
40. Department of Indiana. G. A. r.. of
Newport. held Jan. Is. the following reso-
luton was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense OF this post that
our Legislature. now in session, should make an
appropriation of at least 1000 to aid In the
entertainment of the National Encampment TO
be held in Indianapolis In 1898, and that we be-
lieve such an appropriation necessary to the
honor OF our State, and but due tribute of re-
spect to the survivors of our countrys defend

examination was hold ut Wicklilc, Ky.
Yesterday morning about q half dozen
OF the leading citizens Of tho place and
officers OF the law conducted the ex.

that razor and a large knife which he
carried were rocking with blood. In

those who were present at the eXamin.

that there were blood stains on either
the knife, the razor or his clothing.
Every vestigo Of the mans clothing
was removed and thoroughly examined.
His underclothes, from which 1t had
been said u square piece had been cut,
presumably because they were blood.
stained, wero subjected to very close
examination, but while tho garment
