SAID TO BE BLOCKED

plated Big Four. Strike.
Conductors Have Voted Against It-NOt

CARTS Nonunion Tendencies.
The uncertainty that has prevailed in re-
gard to the strike of the Big Four trainmen

The uncertainty that has prevailed in re-
gard to the strike of the Big Four trainmen
still remains al uncertainty. though the
indications ara that none will be ordered.
All yesterday afternoon committees of the
various orders represented IN the Fedora.
ton of TraInmen were at the
headquarters of the orders In this city
anxiously awaiting news from CINCINNATI
as to the result of the vote. At that
point U%nderhlll. chairman of the locomo-
tive engineers, with the chiefs Of the other
orders interested. was busily engaged in
the canvass of the vote which was TO settle
the question OF q strike. A request was
made upon him for information as to
whethec a strike would be ordered, and he
answered by saying that no definite infor-
nation could be given. as they were count
ing the vote and would know nothing de-
finite till this morning.
Another report from Cincinnati says that
the result of the vote will not be concluded
until tomorrow forenoon. Chairmen Nor
rls and Heiferman. of the conductors and
engineers. respectively. arrived in Cincin-
natl last night. when it was thought that
the canvass would be made at once. They
reported. however, that the result
of the vote ON the Cleveland al.
vision among their constituency
had not been received. and that
the vote would not be canvassed until to-
morrow. 1t has been ascertained that the
tremen express e disposition to resist the
cut to the point of striking. Ten per cent.
of them voted TO accept the reduction. The
brakemen, it is thought, hav cast about
the same vote. The passenger conductors
are nnitedly in favor of accept
ing the cut, but q small portion
of the freightmen are for q strike. Among
the engineers there is q division Of senti-
inent, with the majority against going out.
The men cannot strike unless there IS q
twO-thIrds vote favorIng one cast in every
class OF labor composing the federation.
This has not been done. IL can be au-
thoritatIvely stated that there will be no
trouble. The chairmen. now In Cincinnati,
practically admit that tho result is
against a strike.
The delegates who are TO do the count
ing are: Ill. j. Underhill. of Cleveland: w.
III. Allen. of Indianapolis; L.. Buelte. of
Cincinnati: w. L. McClurker, Anderson's
Ferry; j. NJ. Morris and NJ. J. Hetfer. of
MattOon.

w. d. Whitridge Cuts His Throat
in the Presence Of His Family.
He Resides at Richmond and Came to
Persuade His Wife to Return to Him

say that he may recover Whitridgo was
wild with rage and jealousy because his
wife had left him and would not return.
He is fifty-twO years old. The family be-
long at Richmond. Ind. where they lived to-
gether until three months ago. The wife
and husband could not live happily to-
gether and she left him. Bringing the three
ohildren to Indianapolis. she went to reside
at No. 1l9 North Illinois street. Whitridge
has been e~ndeavoring for some time to per-
susde his wife to return to him, but she
stesdfsstly refused. and yesterday he came
to this city with the purpose of see
ing her. He arrived from Richmond
at 4 O'Clock. and going at once to the house
where his family was STOPPING. he sought
HE wife and again talked over the matter
OF her returning home. The discussion
snded with her refusal to have any thing
more to do with him.
Without q word he arose to his feet and
drew out his pocket knife. AS heOpened
the blade his cid est son anticipated the act
which followed, and sp!ang forward with
the intention of securing the weapon. His

around toward the front. Before he could
repeat tho thrust. his son had hold or him
and prevented another stroke OF the knife.
The wound presented a frightful sight. but
fortunately was not deep enough TO reach
the carotid artery. Whitridge was taken
to the City Hospital. The physiolans be-
lieve there is a chance of recovery. Neither
he nor MS wife will speak of the trouble
between them.

20 the Editor of the Indianapolis JournaI:

streets last night that Mayor Sullivan was
J guilty of a most infamous libel upon a
number of our worthy citizens in the re.
marks made by him. These were the re-
marks accredited TO him in the course of
his speech: II cannot remember q single
Republican city treasurer of this city who
did not prove a defaulter." This would
be q remarkable statement from a

from q man occupying the high
position OF Mayor of the city ie certainly

COULD NOT BE MAYOR
PrOhibitiOnistS Discover that
Their Candidate Is Ineligible.
Hasn't Lived Here Long Enough-Sulli-
van Evidently Going Crazy-Re-
publican Candidates Meet.

A discovery in the nature of o sensation
has been made by the local Prohibitionists
and is causing considerable comment in the
Prohibition ranks. The discovery has been
made that S. A. Haines. who is az the head
other ticket in the municipal campaign.
is Ineligible TO the Office. As get no action
has been taken by the party. but it is not at
ell unlikely that the head of the ticket will
have to be chopped OF. Whether they will
then engraft q new head upon the ticket
or not has not yet been determined upon.
The candidate for Mayor on the Prohibi-
ton ticket is ineligible TO the Office under
the city charter on account OF his resi-
dsnce. The charter provides that no per-
son shall be elected to that office who has
MOI been q resident of the city for three
years. The PrOhis when they nominated
Haines knew that he had been e resident
of the city but about tw~enty-tbree months,
but IL seems that none or the delegates to
the mass meeting which did the Domi-
mating for them know that under the char
ter he would be ineligible for that reason.
The nominee addressed his party in the
Criminal Court room last night. He spoke
for an hour and the burden of his speech
was o defamation OF both parties. When
he touched upon the present city sdminis-
tration he grew eloquent in his denuncia-
tion of the wide-open policy adopted. "a
fow Sundays ago." he said. II passed along
the street and saw saloons with front doors

HIS STRANGE STORY

Carried to Franklin i'm q Freight Car
While Insensible, and Walked All
the Way Back.

Frank HeeG. the seventeen-year-old son
of Adam Heeg. q cigar maker residing at
No. 2O9 East Morris street. is at his home
suffering from the effects of brutal kicks
and blows administered by three unknown
men. The boy disappeared my sterIoUsly
Tuesday night, and his absence created
much uneasiness from the fact that he
rarely eyer left the house for q prolonged
stay. He works in the cigar shop with his
father, and on Tuesday evening occupied,
As usual. his accustomed place at the sup
per table. Completing his meal. he put on
his hat. and announcing that he intended
going to the theater. left the house.
HIS parents saw no more of him until 8
O'Clock last night. when he staggered into
the house and fell into a char from sheer
exhaustion. His clothes were torn and
covered with dust. There was scarcely a
spot on his body where there were Eot visl-
BILE the effects of kicks and blows. and his
face WAS swollen and bruised. The lads
story of his enforced absence is passing
strange. He went to the theater, as he in
tended. on Tuesday night. and when the
performance was over started directly
home. To reach HIS residence on Morris
street, he travelled south on Madi-
son avenue. At the intersection
of that thoroughfare with Morris
street, three strange and rough-!noking
men came out Of an alley and stopped him.
He attempted To pass on, but one of the
men caught him, and, by o vicious blow.
gave him To understand that he must keep
silent. Then the trio subjected him 10 the
most brutal abuse while they rited his
pockets. The robbery complete. he was
dragged off to tho j., NJ. X /. railroad yards.
and placed in Il refrigerator car. Again he
wac roughly handled and soon lost con-
seriousness. At daylight yesterday morn
ing he revived. but was still IN the com.
pany of biz abductors. He managed d. to look
out OF the car and saw that IL belonged to
a train which was standing In the outskirts
of "A small town. Soon the train was NOV
ing, and when the depot was reached the
three men. with q parting series of kicks
and cuffs. jumped from the car. Young

capped from his BILE prison. Inquiry

lad turned HE face toward this city. He
walked avery mile of the way. not stopping
to eat or rest. When he arrived home last
night the hoy WAS in a distressing oOndi-
tion. and his father fears that IL viii be
some time before he RECEIVERS from the
effects OF the adventure.
