CAMPBELL'S DEATH.
Coroner Beck Takes Evidence, but Holds to
Theory of Suicide.

Coroner Beck was busy all day yesterday
in taking new evidence in the case of David
Campbell. the Anderson merchant who was
found dead with a bullet in his brain, at
the Spencer Hotel. few weeks ago. The
condition of the dead mans body and the
circumstances surrounding e. o affair led 60
the theory of suicide, which in the mind of
the coroner has not been exploded. The
relatives of Campbell appear to doubt that
he took his own life. and at their solicita-
tiOn Coroner Beck will examine number
of other witnesses. Yesterday Eugene Dali
of Charles Mayer. testified that
death he sold the latte srevolver and had
offered him box 81 cartridges, but that
Campbell replied that he did not want a
box, and only wanted enough to load the
pistol. The clerk tad known the pur-
chaser for the last fifteen years. and
thought he was in his usual spirits As be
left the store Campbell explained that he
bought the revolver to protect himself
with when he happened out late at night.
A brother-In law of fhe deceased has fur
nished the coroner with the address OF
Philadelphia commercial traveller, whom it
Is expected will testify that on the day of
the alleged suicide he made an engagement
with Campbell TO sell him some goods
from samples. The witness will also state
that he found his customer In bright spirits
and looking forward to q prosperous season.

STREET PAVING QUESTIONS.

Fight Between Brick and Asphalt ON Shelby
Street-Two Remonstrances.
The old asphalt brick fight has been re-
vived, and this time it is on Shelby street.
Ex-Councilmah Marley and s. G. Leonard
called on the Board of Public Works yes
terday morning and asked that asphalt be
used. They were told by Mr.. Conduit that
the board had already decided on brick. 1t
had started out with the intention of max
ing 1t asphalt. but bi9 petition for brick
had come in, while that for asphalt had but
four or five names on il. 1--WE don't want
to get into any further controversies of this
Sort" remarked the president We've
gone through thissort of thing two or three
times, and don't want any more of il. We
have already decided on brick and do not
care to take up the subject again."
This seemed decisive. bnt Leonard and
Marley gently persisted. The brick petit
tion. they declared. had but thirty-two
names out of one hundred or more. The
publication of the first intention of the
board to make it asphalt had stopped work
on tho asphalt petition. They were circu.
latlng IL now. and. If given time. promised

STREET-CAR FRANCHISE.

Authorities Again Confer and Keep Still
MIR. McDonald's Position.
The Mayor and Board of Public Works
yesterday afternoon transferred the scene
of their daily conference on the street-car
franchise question to the Mayors private
office, and were there closeted during the
afternoon. Each member has made his
rough draft OF q franchise. and yesterday
they compared notes. AS yet they are not
prepared to give any authentic intorma-
tion as to just what the conditions imposed
will be.
A rumor was printed in an afternoon
paper yesterday to the effect that r. L.
Mcdonald. of Fort Wayne. had with
drawn from the field. Leon o. Bailey,
Mr.. McDonald's local attorney. stated last
evening that this was not the case. 'Mr.
Mcdonald, ;" said he, when last before the
board. made remarkably liberal PROPOSE
t'on. de said that bis position In the CON-
mercial world would hardly admit of his
bidding purely from the outside, evidently
meaning that that would look too much
like blackmail of the Citizens company.
But, if given few streets, he would then
have some footing some rights here and
swould be In position to honorably CON-
pete for the general franchise. He was
willing that any reasonable conditions
should be imposed. and If it was necessary
TO bid for general franchise he would start
il with proposition to i'm
prove what tracks he laid, and,
also. should he obtain the general
franchise, to pave the tracks even of the old
company as the streets they lie on are i'm
proved and do this at once. waiting for the
old companv's franchise to expire. Since
then we have had no answer whatever
from the board, nor any animation what
ever of what it expected TO do further
than the newspaper reports of the condi-
tIons it is putting in its proposed general
franchise. We have kept Mr.. Mcdonald
posted on these matters but while 1t is my
impression that the burdens to be imposed
are perhaps so heavy as to make fran.
cEise an undesirable investment, we have
no means or knowing what his intentions
are.
The new Citizens company" continued
Mr. Bailey. rs In the position of q man
with q lottery ticket. They have paid or
agreed to pay three millions for "A property
that may prove valuable or worthless In a
very short time. They are In a peculiar
position. With the threat of legal pro-
ceedngs to forfeit their franchise next
year, they can do no construction and they
must simply wait On the other hand. any
franchise given TO another must be subject
to any rights of the Citizens company. At
best the successful bidder would be buying
| a lawsuit. and a very serions one and there
would be no telling where his rights would
land"

TO PREVENT VANDALISM.
Public Must Not Deface the Monu ment OF
Punishment Will Follow.

1.-THE commission does not want to be
harsh" said President Langsdale yester-
day, but the monument must be preserved
from vandalism, and it will probably be
necessary 20 prosecute some one who
offends as an example. The penalties pro-
vided by law for defacing the monument
will be hung up where the public can see
them and violators will be punished"
The provisions of the law referred to are
sufficient to punish the class aimed at. 1t
is made "a misdemeanor for any person or
persons 20 wsnronly mark with pencil,
chalk or other material. substance or in

the commission Is authorized TO institute

Motive Power for Street Railways.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
In formulating franchise for street-car
railway privileges l think it would not be
good policy to restrict the contracting
party to any particular motive power 1t
would be an injustice to the inventive
faculty existing In the community. The
trend is to confiEe the means of propulsion
TO electricity. Such clause in q charter
would bar out all possible improvements
during the term of the grant. The actual
motive power in the So called electric sys-
TEN In this city is the fuel consumed by
the boilers at the powerhouse. That power
is transmitted by means OF such ponderous
street-O Obstructive and expensive appa-
ratus that the interest on the capital IN
vested precludes the possibility of the
minimum rate of fares There is q possi-
bility of utilizing natural OF any other
hydro-carbo gas as a motive power that
would reduce the cost of power So per cent
with q comparatively small investment of
capital Therefore, a res trictiye franchise
should not be entert aimed by our city au-
thorities. j. g. LIG TFORD,
Mechanical Engineer.
