THAT LAST ORDINANCE.

Ex-City Clerk Bowius Talks of the First
Discovery That 1t Was Messing.
When the discovery of tho loss of the
ordinance granting franchise to the Citi-
zens Street-railway Company, which was
known as the ordinance of 1864, was made.
John w. Bowlus was the city clerk. He
was seen by Journal reporter last night
and was asked IN reference TO is. He said:
Il do not know whether tho ordinance
got lost during my term of office or not.
Shortly after l was elected / was sub
penaed in the Dudley case and required to
bring with me some of the records of the
Office, this ordinance being among them. 1t
was then that | found that | did not
have it. / made q systemattc search of
the clerks office. and / went through
all OF the courtrooms In the building,
thinking perhaps that Ii might have got
ten into some OF them and been left there.
All of the searching proved TO be of no use.
and we gave IL up as gone Now, as TO
whether 10 was in the office when l took
possession of it l cannot sey. / took the
cut the unexpired time of Michael Shields,
who died in office. There was no inventory
of the office effects turned over 60 me. and
did not demand any. Ii might have been
there at that time and have been taken ont
without my knowing IL. but hardly think
so."
Mr.. Bowlus further said that be was un-
der the impression that the ordinance had
been found since he had retired from the
office. but was not certain about IL. But
whatever the condition of things. he knew

tity with which to deal There will be

cate. at least half of whom will be resi-
dents of Indianapolis. There will BIO seven
or eight Incorporators. and six directors.
but not all of the parties interested will
figure either on the bond or among the in
corporators. several of the heaviest in
vestors preferring not to figure in the pub
hc transactions of the company.
Yesterday was day of consultations
with the promoters of the new street-raIl-
way deal. Judge Elliott and the city of
ficiais. The two former met during the
day and again in the evening. Ii was de-
cided by them TO INCORPORATE in accordance
with the wishes of the city authorities,
and il will be done early this morning.
The kDotty point TO decide was the of
hcers OF the company, and whose names
shall appear as the directors of It. IL is
probable, however. that the names pre-
scented will not be those of the
heaviest stockholders. but of men who
are comparatively but lightly inter-
ested ana who will probably be local men.
The reasons for this are the same business
and personal ones that have kept the prin-
cipal promoters of the scheme in the back
ground while the controversy has been
going on.
Yesterday afternoon n call was issued by
President Murphy for special meeting of
the Council tonight. 1t will be for the
purpose OF considering the franchise. Prob
ably all that will be done with il will be
TO refer it to the franchise committee and
have 1t taken MP at the regular meeting
again next Monday night. City Attorney
Jones has tho contract which the company
will be expected to enter into with the
city all prepared. and the signatures will
he placed to it this afternoon.

and with both engines dropped
through the bridge into seventy

was found mile and half below the
bridge. A portion OF his nose was gone,
and his body was punctured through the

The last visit Mrs Allison made was

TO DEFEAT 1T WITH AMENDMENTS.

Claim that the Citizens Company IL Push
Ing the Dcms nds of worl<sngmen.
Speculation as to what the Council will
do with the various amendments which
have been and will be offered to it to be at
tached to the street-railway franchise has
been rife for some time, and within the
past two or three days it has been apparent
that these amendments. or rather the ad-
vocacy of them, is being pushed from out
side sources. There are of them the one
gotten up by the brotherhood of stSeet-car
employees to regulate the wages and the
number of hours which they shall work.
the one proposed by the labor unions for
fixing the rate of fares at cents one W hich
will limit tie length of time which the
franchise shall run. and others. 1t is now
claimed that the agents and representa-
tlves of the Citizens company are engaged
in this work of pushing these amendments
with the hope of through them defeat
ing the entire franchise. 1t does not lie
within the power of the Council to amend
the charter. 1t must accept It entire or
reject it SO. If 1t should do the latter, it
will have to revert back TO the Board of
Works, and Ii that body should alter it TO
comply with these various requests which
are being made 1t will DO compelled to re-
advertise for bids. That would give the
CitizeDs' company a chance to enter tho
field with their competitors. and the addl-
tional one of knowing about how high they
would have to place their bid to secure it.
One thing is certain. and that is that the
people who are advocating these amend
ments are laboring hard in their interests.
and will bring every influence possible to
bear on the members OF the Council to add
them to the charter MS it now is. The labor
unions claim to have the promises of more
than a working majority of the members
TO vote for q three-cent fare If they ever
got an opportunity. and say that they pro-
pose to hold them to those promises. and
the street-car men are not without some in

Work Of Surveying the Proposed Line of the
Road Begun on Saturday.
The work of surveying for the proposed
electric line between this city and Martins.
Vile was begun on Saturday. at the other
veyors is in that suburban city waiting
for the weather to clear away so that they
can begin work. This is the first tan BILE
step taken In the direction of building this
road, and it has been hailed with delight
by all those in, and in the vicinity of, Mar
tinsville. 1t is understood that the right
of way has been given to the company
without any cost to it. aud that every en-
couragement has been given it to GO ahead.
The company is represented in this city
by the law firm of Stevenson IL
Stevenson. These gentlemen have re-
fused to talk about the proposed project
except to say that the men whom they
represent are ones that have q sufficient
amount of capital to carry 1t to q sue
cessful termination. and that they will
do SO If they believe 1t can be made q
success. The question OF gaming an en-.
trance into indianapolis is one that is both
ering them In no little degree. There is no
provision made in the new charter tor the
entrance of suburban company. and this
road cannot get in under the State la gov
erning suburban companies for the reason
that it Is over ten miles in length. The right
to come in lies wholly at the discretion of
the city. and on the only time which the
Stevensons appeared before the board they
were told that before they asked for the
right of way they had better get their COM
pany in some shape TO aonvice tho city au-
thorIties that they meant business. 1t Is
probable. however. that when the time
comes 10 ask fOrthe entrance of this CON-
psEy. and il proves to bs what is claimed
for it. there will be trouble about the
right Ga way for its tracks.

IRON HALL CASE.
Supreme Courts Decision Expected This Week
-Rumored Disagreement of JUICES.

The impression prevails that the Supreme
Court will hand down an opinion in the
Iron Hall case possibly tomorrow or
Wednesday of this week. and in legal
circles there is considerable speculation on
the probable position to be taken by the
court. 1t is known that during the past
two or three weeks there have been several
consultations between the judges on this
case. which gives rise TO the belief that
there is difference of opinion which may
lead TO dissenting opinions. One of the
judges is understood to hold that there is
no showing of an inability to meet its
obligations by the Iron Hall. and therefore
the appointment of receiver is not tenable.
