Board-To Open Kentucky Avenue.


Mr.. McCsrty to Open Kentucky Avenue to
the Bridge-Finances of the Town.
Last night was the trustees "busy day"
In West Indianapolis. The meeting OF the
board opened early and continued late
One of the first matters 20 come before 1t
was the opening of q way to the new bridge
over White river which the County Com
missioners have located at the Kentucky
sbis point neoessitated the opening of q
street to connect with 1t on
the west side of the river.
and the property through which this street
would have to pass 10 owned by Nicholas
McCarty. There was submitted to the
board . communication from Mr.. MoCarty.
In which he offered to dedicate to the use
of the public. for street purposes, strip of
ground for an eighty foot street running
from Drover street. to the bridge. distance
of about 1500 feet. He also proposed to
dedicete to the use of the public o sixty
from "Drover street to Kentucky avenue.
Both proportions were accepted By the
board by q unanimous vote.
The bill Of the water company for the
past quarter. amounting TO $3.50. and OF
| the electric light company for $3.50 for the
same quarter, were allowed; the former
payable July 10 and the latter Aug. Is.
both bearing g per cent. interest. The bill
of Marshal Maholm for SLOT for work upon
the streets for the past week was allowed,
rs were also several smaller bills.
The committee appointed TO audit the
clerks and treasurer's books reported the
results of their inv designations to the board.
In auditing the clerks books they found
that the total indebtedness of the town
on May 6. 1893. was S20.S5O. They
also found several discrepancies be-
tween the warrants and stubs and the
minute book as to amounts allowed. In
some cases the warrants showed that o
greater amount had been paid than W as
noted the minute book, and in some
cases no warrants could be found for
amounts that had been allowed according
to the minute book. The amount In each
case, however, was small and in no case
dad it am CUNT to more than S1-50. The au-
dlting of the treasurer's books showed
total receipts from ell sources S36. 104.2 "a and

and at each session of congress the
matter has been presented to the sit
ting members, or to the appropriation
committee, their representative.
Eight wears ago it was deemed wise
to remove valuable records and
specimens belonging to the Army
Medical museum which were kept
in this building to another building
for preservation. Congress appropri-
ated money for this removal Of re-
cords and specimens to a place OF
safety and left its employees to meet
sudden death in Fridays catastrophe.
The attention Of each succeeding
congress has been called to the Unsafe
condition of this building, the govern
ment printing house, and other rattle
trap buildings used by the government
as workshops in which hundreds and
thousands of men and women are
employed. Reports of engineers
condemnlng the building have
been read and dismissed from the
minds of. congresses without number.
The attempt to place the blame for
the accident ON the shoulders of the
contractors putting an electric light
plant into the building, will prove
futile.
The responsibility of the deadly
and deplorable disaster can be charged
to but one thing, "Holmanism, y
niggardly and demagogic economy,
solely for effect.
Many members of congress have
eagerly and earnestly advocated the
erection of suitable and safe buildings
as the warehouses of this govern
ment, but the alleged reform" ele-
ment, led by that prince Of dema-
gogues, Holman, of Indiana, has
thwarted the repeated efforts.
These alleged Performers" desired
to appear more ''honest and ecouom-
ical' than their fellow congressman, so
that they might appear before theii

long a. they do not exercise more
vigilance in the pursuit of the robbers
than they have, they are not sub

time, nevertheless, that some salutary
measures are taken for the prevention

Topeka, Kan, June 10.-The
west bound California express No. 3,
on the Santa Fe was held up near
Cimarron, Kansas, al l 80 this morn
ing and about $4,000 of booty secured
by the robbers.
Five masked bandits tagged the
train Just west of Cimarron and forced
the engineer and fireman at the point
of reyolvers to accompany them to the
express car. Then they demanded
the door to be opened. Express
Messenger Whittlesey refused to open
the door and the robbers commenced
firing into the car. The express
messenger received a wound in his
left side, but he still pluckily refused
to give the robbers admittance, in
spite, too. of their threats
to blow up the car with dynamite.
The robbers finally placed stick
of dynamite under the car door and
blew it to pieces. The robbers then
rihed the car of everything Of value
which they could find. The through
safe could not he opened and the most
valuable part of express cOmpanys
property escaped the robbers clutches.
The robbers secured 81 900 in silver
and other property, valued at another
thousand.
Express messenger Whittlesey was
not seriously wounded and continued
his run to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
After the robbers had secured the
booty they mounted horses in waiting
and fled in the direction of the Indian
Territory.
Express Messenger Whitlesey is the
same messenger who had experience
with the Dalton gang at the noted
Red Rock, Indian Territory, robbery
over a wear ago. on which occasion he
stool the robbers of for over half an
hour and succeeded in secreting a
large amount of the most valuable
property in his charge.
