BIG FOUR FAVORED
1t Was Allowed to Erect Its Round
House Without a Permit.
Board of Works Meeting - Builders
Exchange Recommends an
Appointment.

The intimate relations between the Big
Four Railroad Company and the ate Sulli-
van machine was evidenced yesterday in
discovery made by Building Inspector Pen
dergast. The railroad company has con-
structed a $4,000 round house south of
Washington street, near Dillon, without TAX
ing out a building permit, as the law re-
quires. Had some poor workingman dared
to build house during the Sullivan regime
without taking out the permit, the Jealous
Fitchey would no doubt have yanked the
workingman before the proper authorities.
1t was different with the Big Four road,
which had already received a most ex-
traordinary gift from the Board of Works
in the matter Of the South Delaware-street
sidewalk
Mr.. Pendergast went down to the round
house, yesterday afternoon, and found 1t
almost completed. The head official was
not at the place, but the inspector left
word for him TO come up to the court
house and take out a permit to-day. In the
early part of September the Big Four made
an application for a permit, and then went
ahead the building without obtaining the
necessary document. The law provides a
penalty for doing this, but the late admin
istration was not enforcing any penalties
against the Big Four Railroad Company.
The permit would have cost the company
about so, at the rate of 80 cents on the
thousand, IS the law provides.

SCHOOL BOARDS MEETING.
1t Is COzily Fixed In It's New Quarters
Routine Business.

The first meeting of the School Board in
it's new quarters was held last night, and
every member was present. The room is
i'm the southeast corner of the building
upstairs, and is commodious and handsome
w furnished in natural wood, with desks
for the members of the same material.
In the center of the floor, directly in front
of the president is a large reporters table.
The members all retain the same relative
positions in the room as in the old building.
at the right of the chairman is a commo-
dious committee room furnished in the same
style as the remainder of the building.
The committee on buildings and grounds
asked permission to take out insurance to
the amount of $4,000 on the new building.
This was considered necessary on account
of the surroundings of the building. The
recommendation was adopted, and the COM
mittee was authorized to place the insur-
ance. The committee also asked for au-
thority to build a high iron fence in the
rear of the new building, which, after being
modified so as to empower the committee
to receive bids on both wood and iron
fences, was adopted. The committee on
furniture and supplies was authorized to ex-
pend $50 in purchasing copies of DR.. Rice's
Public School Systems of the United
States" The monthly reportof the treasurer
was received, showing the total balance on
hand Nov l. 3S,391.27, and the balance in
the library building fund.- $45l9.S0. The as
sistant secretary reported warrants drawn
for the month, S42,946.I6
The question of the probable cost of a
manual training school according to the
plans which have been received from Penn
sylvania came up, and it was decided to
have the local architect, Adolph Scherrer,
examine the plans and specifications and
report the probable cost of such building.
The committee deemed this plan more ex
.peditious than receiving bids, and it was
adopted. The committee on heating, hy-
giene and janitors was given authority to
employ Thomas Horraday as assistant JAM
tor at the Library Building, at salary of
SIS per month, and another assistant jani-
tor. whose compensation was not named.
and Thomas kinney was transferred to
the position of assistant engineer at a sal
airy of $50 per month There was a spirited
Ware formerly janitor at school No II
SO for ten days work performed at the
building after his discharge but before any
other janitor had been named for the place.

TO CHANGE THE SEWER.
sfreet-Car COmpany's Modest Request
dykes for Enu Greek

dykes for Fall Creek.
The Citizens Street-railroad Company
asked the Board of Public Works yester-
day morning TO change the location of the
proposed Alississippi-street sewer so that
the company can construct it's electric
line up Mississippi street this winter. The
company said it wanted to begin work at
once This it cannot do unless the con-
struction Of the main sewer in the street
Is done away with. President Mason want
ed to know if the sewer could not be built
In Tennessee or some other street. The
electric line will come as far south on Mis-
sissippi street as Indiana avenue. Ex-City
Engineer Mansfield was requested to con-
suit with Ass. slant City Engineer Dean re-
garding the feasibility Of constructing the
sewer in some other street.
Assistant City Engineer Dean to whom
the petition of the company was referred
or the Alississippi-street sewer was referred
says that IL would neceSSitate a consider
able expense to change the sewer to Ten
nessee or some other street If the sewer
is taken down Tennessee street, the asphalt
for several blocks would have TO be torn
up, and the drop into the Pogue's run sewer
would not be as satisfactory as under the
present plans which carry the sewer down
Mississippi street.
The. Indiana Paving Brick Company
agreed, in changing the brick on Second
street from represS TO standard brick to
make a rebate to the property owners of
81 for every thousand brick used. The
board yesterday notified the company that
IL expected the company to keep this agree
ment. 1t was asked to make the necessary
arrangements with the property owners.

CARRIED HEAVY INSURANCE.
Accident Companies Investigating the
Death of w. III. COllord.

Some curious complications have arisen
in the death of W. II. Collord, the Cincin-
natl commercial traveller, who was found
dying upon one of the iron roofs of the
Denison hotel on the night OF Oct. T. An
open window in the room, many feet above
where the dying man lay, at once suggest
ed to the coroner and the physicians who
were called that Coliord had suffered a.
fall. Although Coroner Beck has made no
finding in the case, this theory was gen
orally accepted by the family OF the dead
man.
1t now appears that Collord carried large
life insurance and also accident policies,
aggregating $4,000 Yesterday attorney
Gale of this city, called upon the coroner
and requested, in the interest of three
large insurance companies, that the death
of Collord be looked rigidly into. From
the statement made by the attorney the
theory that Collord was either murdered
and thrown out of the window or that he
committed suicide Is strongly advanced.
The former theory takes precedence from
the fact that the injured man suffered
wounds both on the back and front of his
head. That he could receive wounds in
both places by an accidental fall from the
window is thought 10 have been impossi-
bic. A fracture of the skull was said to
have been the immediate cause of death
1t is learned that on the day COllord came
to this city he carried voluminouS pack
age of accident tickets in his pocket, and
also that the day before his death his wife
received several of these tickets The most
startling of the incidents being brought to
light through investigation of the insur-
ance companies is the fact that had Col
lord lived a few hours longer than he did
his accident insurance would have expired
These, with other facts. have been placed
in the possession of the coroner, and he is
urged to hasten a thorough investigation
The Employers Liability, Fidelity Casual
ty and London Guarantee companies are
contesting the payment of the policies.

NOT A SANCTIONED STRIKE.
Brotherhood officials Not Consulted
About the Big Four Tie-Up.

At the headquarters of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Firemen. at Terre Haute,
nothing has been reported regarding the
strike Of engineers, firemen and switchmen
on the Cairo division of the Big Four
road. If the fremen have gone out the
strike is an illegal one so far as the Broth
erhood is concerned. and the participants
cannot receive any aid or protection from
the order. When the reduced scale of wages
on the Big Four system was accepted by
the federation of brotherhods some weeks
ago, 1t was the understanding that no
change one way or the other would be made
until Jan. l, when the scale again comes up
Tor consideration with President ingalls,.
1t is hardly believed at headquarters that
another reduction has been made. The sup
position Is that the report sent out from
CAIRO last night does not give the true situ-
alton, but that the tie-up due TO some
other cause than reduction of wages. In
any event. it is not a sanctioned strike

FIREMEN's PENSION FUND.
Transfer Of BOnds-Tal< of Reducing
WidOxYs, Pensions.


President Ruckle, of the Board of Safety
and ex-President Hawkins, together with
Secretary Tobin, of the firemen's pension
fund met Monday night, preparatory to
the change in the board that has the Gus
tody of this fund. Colonel Ruckle, by virtue
of his official position succeeds Mr.. Hawk
ms as president of the board in charge
of the fund. Mr.. Hawkins turned over 81, 900
in bonds, $1,00O of which are city bonds
the remainder being jail bonds, besides
$500 in cash. This measures the present
fund. Ii was decided 10 call an early meet
ing of the new board to discuss the matter
Of decreasing the pension paid to the wild
ows OF the dead fireman. Six of them are
now being paid 500 q month, but it Is hardly
believed the board Will reduce this amount,
although the apparent object would be to
prevent iT.'Oads on the fund proper. 1t is
the intention of the board to make the
interest on the fund pay the pensions. There
are also five orphans drawing benefits from
the fund. The total expenditures each
month are Sl5O. 1t is anticipated that 81 500
will be raised from the firemen's ball which
will be given at Tomlinson Hall on Nov.
20. The citizens have shown great LIBERAL
ity in patroniZing this worthy charity, and
the receipts this year will probably be as
large as those OF previous years.

GOOD CONCERT GIVEN.
Mozart Symphony Club Opens the Y. NJ.
C. A. Lecture Course.

The first entertainment of the Y. NJ. G. A.
lecture course was given last evening at
Tomlinson Hall, and there was very
large audience present. The attraction was
the Mozart Symphony Club, of New York.
From the first number on the programme to
the last the audience expressed its salts
faction and delight with continued applause.
The club is composed of some very good
musicians, including Mr.. Richard Stoelzer,
the viola damour soloist; Mr.. Mario Bio
deck, the VOL de gambia soloist, and Mr..
Otto Lund violin; Mr.. Thee. Hoch, cornet,
with Miss Cecilia Beraems as soprano and
Mr.. Alberto c. Mora, basso Nearly every
number was encored and every soloist was
recalled. The club does better solo than
ensemble work, slight rough passages in
the club selections marring the smoothness
which makes such compositions not only
artistic but enjoyable In harmony with
the name of the organization, the first and
last numbers were from Mozart, these being
the overture from Don Juan" and the
finale from Figaro" Mr.. StoelZer played
the "Walther's Prize Song" from the
'Meistersinger," and the rich tones of the
viola d'amour gave added beauty to the
tenderness of the composition. Miss Braems
las a voice of remarkably even quality,
md her several songs were well received,
o much SO that for each one she was re-
,alled. Mr.. Hoch, with his broad, generous
manner and big body made every one feel
that there was no limit TO his breath possi-
bifitieS, and they were not mistaken, for
every one else became bTeathless when he
sustained a trill for a seemingly incredible
length of time, and at the conclusion of
each part of his solo he was applauded and
received a double encore. The other MEM
Sers were creditable to the organization
The first of the lecture course was a sue
cess. though it must be confessed that the
doors from the market house are not con-
ducive to the preservation of the esthetic
harmony with a symphony club. The next
entertainment of the course will be a lee
'ure by Col l.. F. Copeland Seeing the
Elephant" and will occur Nov. q.
