Handbury's Report.

Major Handbury evidently thinks the
work at the Cascades lis not getting
along much better than when he was in
charge. He details the condition of the
work as it was left by the government
while under his supervision, and then
proceeds to discuss what the contractors
have done and are doing. He says:
''The contractors have done little
work. They have had about 25 men at
work since the middle of the month,
erecting a saw mill and clearing away
brush upon their land, three miles from
the lock, where they are making prepa-
rations to get basalt stone. They have
surveyed three different times for a
trail to their quarry, and believe have
decided upon method for getting
stone from this quarry to the locks.
They have received some secondhand
air COMPRISING plant for running drills,
and are at work putting that in order.
They have a few men at work clearing
out the government stonesheds, prepar-
atory to cutting stone. have not
learned what progress they are making
in cutting the granite dimension stones
in their quarries in California. March
18th they were notified by telegraph of
the appropriation by congress of 81 $780,
65s for work under their contract. The
work on detailed shop-drawings of lock
gates and on the general drawings of
the hydraulic machinery will probably
be continued during April. 1t is pre-
sumed that the contractors will set q
large force at work getting out basalt
stone and cutting the same"

G. F. Golf has skipped out of Long
Greek, owing various parties from, $40
to $500. It is thought the total will
reach 81 900. Golf went to Long Greek
several years ago, and has had every op-
portunity to reach the highest round in
the ladder of honor, but due to an un-
comfortable mania for gambling, he has
brought about his own downfall, and
wrought serious financial injury to his
many friends.
The hours of last evening were most

Last of the BLOCK House.

The old block house at the Cascades
on the Washington side has recently
fallen down during heavy wind, and of
course will never be rebuilt. This house
was built in 1855, and though it has
never received a hostile bullet, being
built two years after the memorable
fight upon the old block house, now
completely gone to ruin, it has been an
old landmark and quartered good
many troops and civilians while the In
dians were yet hostile.

AN ALLEGED ACCOMPLICE.
John Kirksis Arrested for Completely in
FulfOrd's Transactions.

John Kirksis was arrested last night on
a warrant from Justice Johnson's court for
forgery. The warrant was issued upon the
affidavit of Z. w. Moister. of the Long
Distance Telephone Company, and is a
part of the same transaction for which L.
d. Fulford was recently arrested in SYRIA
crse, n. Y. Kirksis is a Russian, about
thirty years of age and unmarried, and has
been in the employ of the company for
about three years as a foreman OF the wire
gang under Fulford at a salary of $50 per
month and his board. The specific charge
upon which he is arrested is raising a
voucher for s14, given to Christian Plouger,
a farmer residing in Warren township, for
hauling. Mr.. Moister said last night that
there were other vouchers which had been
raised, but he could not state the exact
aggregate amount. He did not think the
amount which Kirksis had secured was
large however. His bond was placed at
$500, and he deposited cash to the amount
of 1894 and a certified check to the amount
of $500 for his appearance at the prelimi-
nary hearing, and was released. He was
not eXtravagant and saved his money, and
Mr.. Moister said he was not surprised that
he had that amount of money when ar
rested.
T.. ID. Fulford will arrive in this city at
II O'Clock this morning in the custody of
detective Thornton, who went TO New York
after him, and will have his preliminary
hearing within a few days.

INDIANAPOLIS CHORAL UNION.
Choir of the Second Presbyterian Church
Forms an Organization.

The members Of the Second Presbyterian
Church choir met last evening to perfect an
organization for the study of the art of
advancement where music of the higher
grades can be presented with precision, and
the new society will place it permanently.
There are some excellent voices in the
choir, and the members who now constitute
it will be the nucleus of a choral society
which will in time be a credit to the city.
There is to be no limit to the membership,
and the requirements are a good voice and
regular attendance. The city has needed
just such an organization for some years,
and the music-loving public should felicitate
itself on the fact that a beginning has been
made. The director of the choir is Mr.. f.
Y. Arens, and he has shown, in the master
~ work of the May festival chorus and in
this choir what can be accomplished with
proper training. The TIE Deum sung last
Sunday morning by the choir was a music
al treat such as is to rarely enjoyed. 1t was
fine. At the meeting last night a constitu-
ton. simple in its requirements, and a few
necessary bylaws were read and adopted,
and the following were elected officers:
The director is eX officiO chairman of the
committee on attendance and membership.
President, Mr.. Ferd l.. Mayer; vice presi-
dent, Mr.. +. Y. Arens: librarian. Mr.. Will
liam H. Daggett; secretary, Mr.. Siebold.
The additional members of the committee
Mrs. Abrams; tenor, Mr.. Joiner, and alto,
Miss Caroline Hendricks. An annual meet
ing, the regular rehearsals or a called meet
ing for special business will be all that are
held. After the meeting adjourned re-
freshments were served by several of the
ladies Of the church.

GOES TO YOUNGSTOWN
Arthur Anderson, Will Manage
Another Street Railroad.
Company Rushing Construction Upon Its
Lines i'm the Northwestern and
Southwestern Parts of Town.

Arthur A. Anderson, formerly secretary
of the Citizens Street-railroad Company,
has accepted service with the Youngstown
(O) Street-railway Company, and will take
up his duties in that city within a fortnight.
Mr.. Anderson goes with the company as
general manager a position which he is
amply competent to fill by reason of his
efficient service with the Citizens company
and long familiarity with street-railway af-
fairs. He was retired from the pay roll Of
the latter company som months ago, not
through any discord between himself and
the officers but on account Of the inclination
of the company to reduce expenses. Mr..
Anderson, it is understood, was receiving a
handsome salary, and the company decided
that his work could be combined with that
Of one Of the minor officers. Since the af-
fairs of the indianapolis Cabinet Company
passed into the hands Of a receiver Mr..
Anderson has been managing the business
of the establishment. His friends have
known for several weeks of his plans in
connection with the new situation, but his
intention of leaving Indianapolis was not
generally known until yesterday.

difficulty he had experienced with his moth

THEY'LL GO TO 1.-THE WORKS"
Police Instructed to Arrest Tramps-
Help for the Unemployed.

In accordance with a suggestion from the
Commercial Club relating to the army Of
tramps and Migrants that seem to infest
the city in unusually large numbers. Police
Superintendent Powell last night instructed
the officers to arrest all classes OF the
genus tramp. With this nuisance at work
on the county's supply of rock the charity
organizations and deserving workingmen
will be relieved of an embarrassing STUN
bling block.
A number Of citizens who possess ample
means signiied their desire TO the charity
organizations yesterday to contribute
Thanksgiving dinners TO deserving families
in distress. 1t was not a difficult task for
the secretaries TO furnish the names of
needy ones. The Christian Charity Organi-
cation will to-day give an elaborate dinner
to twelve girls and as many boys. members
of poor families. The candidates for this
repast were furnished by Richard George.
who for the past two weeks has been filling
hundreds of hungry little mouths.
The following letter was yesterday sent
to the relief committee from the unem-
ployed. The epistle was written to William
Fortune in reply to a request made by the
unemployed committee for free transporta-
ton over the street-railway lines during
their tour of the city in the interest OF the
poor: "All requests for free passes from all
charity organizations of the city, public, re-
ligious and private, have been met with the
statement that the company cannot comply
with the demands of all, and in order TO
contribution to the cause OF charity other
wise than by free transportation. You can
see, therefore, that 1t is impracucable TO
comply with the request"

ROBY IN THE COURTS
Judge Crumpacker Files His Brief
for the Athletic Club.
Declares There Was No Reasonable
Ground for the Receivership-
Fights Again Postponed.

The brief of E. ID. Crumpacker, attorney
for the Columbian Athletic Association in
the receivership proceedings, was filed in
the Supreme Court yesterday. The docu-
ment alleges a number Of reasons why the
receivership should be set aside, declaring
that lit was not pretended that the asso-
citation was insolvent or had a single cred
itor, or that a s~tockholder was complain
ing of it's management, or that any prop
erty belonging to it was likely to be vast
ed or transferred, or that the rights OF
those interested in it would be lost or de-
stroyed. Nor was it alleged that the club
owed any civil duty to the State, but the
restraining order was issued and the re-
ceiver appointed solely for the purpose OF
preventing the club from the commission
OF apprehended criminal acts" 1t is further
alleged that no opportunity was given to
the defendant to disprove the criminal acts
charged against him.. In conclusion the
brief says: 1T may be said that the end
~justiies the means, but constitutional guar
antees count for but little when courts re-
sort to the field of expedIency to justify
them in the employment of these extraor-
binary powers of equity. 1t is said Bad cases
make bad laws but if that be true it is a
sad reflection upon the independence and in
tegrity of the Judiciary. No government can
afford to violate constitutional principles and
undertake to justify them on the ground of
