CITY PLAYING SAFE
NO OFFICIAL RECOGNITION OF THE
COMPANY.
Pending the Franchise Litigation the
Corporation Is Cautiously Treated
as Having No Existence.

Mayor Denny and the city officials have
declined TO hold any communication with
the Citizens Street-railroad Company as
an existing corporation, and have refused
to recognize any OF the officers of the COM
pany in their official capacities. Only twice
since the controversy over the legality of
the present existence of the company's
charter arose have the city officials re-
ceived any communication from the COM
pany. In each case the officials of the COM
pany were expressly informed that they
would not be treated with in their official
capacity. One of the communications was
from President Mason and called atten-
ton To the manner in which Illinois street,
about the mouth of the tunnel, was
cleaned. He was told that the communica-
ton would be given consideration as from
a citizen The other time when the city
officials had communication with the com
pany was at the time the people OF Wood
side were petitioning for the opening of a
street through the Pennsylvania Com
pany's yards or for the extension of the
street car line on English avenue. The
wishes of the people were communicated
to the company by the Mayor, he inform
ing the officers Of the company at the
time, that he made known to them the
wishes of the residents of Woodside only
and did not wish to be understood as MAX
ing q request on the part of the city that
the line be. extended. This refusal to ac-
knowledge the official position of any OF
the company's officers Is due to the fact
that the city officials desire to save any
point that may be raised in future litiga-
ton on account of their recognition of the
officers as officials of a legally existing
corporation.

A C0WARDLY ACT.
Woman on a Car Seriously Hurt by q
Stone Thrown by q Negro.

Last night, shortly after 7 O'Clock, while
on a street car on Virginia avenue, near
McCarty street, Mrs. A. j. Buchner, resid-
ing at No. 267 Prospect street, was struck
in the back between the shoulders and
badly injured by a large stone thrown by
a colored man. Mr.. Buchner and family
boarded the special car for Fairview Park
at Fountain square last night. at Z o'clock.
Two colored men got on the car just as it
started. When the conductor asked for
the fares they refused to pay him. A con-
troversy followed and at McCarty street
the conductor elected them from the car.
The men INDUCED i'm rough language and as
the car started the smaller and lighter OF
the two ran to the gutter and picked up
a large stone. The conductor was standing
on the platform close to Mr.. Buchner and
his family and the negro threw the stone,
apparently at him. The missile went wide
of its mark and struck the arm Of q woman
whose name was not learned and who was
sitting next to Mrs. Buchner. The stone
glanced and struck the latter full in the
back between the shoulders. The unknown
lady's injuries were not severe, but Mrs.
Buchner was knocked senseless. The car
was stopped and she was removed to her
home in a carriage. The members of her
family and a physician worked over her
for an hour before she regained conscious
ness. The stone evidently struck her spine,
as she was partially paralyzed in her limbs.
The attending physician could not tell last
night If her injuries would prove fatal. but
he was Of the opinion that they would not.
After the negro threw the stone he did
not wait to see the result, but disappeared
on McCarty street with his companion.
The police were informed and the officers
of that district hunted for the two, but
could not locate them. Several passengers
on the car stated that the name of the man
who threw the stone was William Brooks
and that he lived on Gresham street OIL

STREET CLEANERS BOUNCED.
Buhneing and His Gang Discharged
and Norwood on the Cnrpet.

Street Foreman Buhneing, with his en-
tire gang, will be discharged from the city
forces. The Board of Works thought the
foreman ought not to be retained and told
Street Commissioner Fisher that, as
Buhneing was in his department, it would
suggest that he discharge the man. There
were some complaints about the work of
Buhneing's gang and it was thought best
to dismiss the entire gang. They Will be
permitted to finish out this week and then
their names will be stricken from the pay
roll. Yesterday morning Buhneing produced
about fifty tickets for dirt which, he said,
ne had been able to find about his house.
Richard Norwood, another street fore
man, will now be called upon for an eX-
PLANTATION as to the reported sale of dirt
by him Street COMMISSIONS Fisher says
that when the Buhneing affair first came
up Norwood told him he had sold some
dirt but had deposited a check for the
amount with the city controller. Controller
Trusler says he knows nothing OF the
check and there is no record Of ii in the
office. Neither do the books in the treas
urer's office show any record of the check.
The persons who have received pay for
dirt will be required to pay into the city
treasury the amounts so received.

Harrison n. Wyatt has sued the city and
the Western Paving and Supply Company
for 5000 damages for personal injuries. He
occupied a store room on South Delaware
street, and in making excavations for the
Improvement of the first alley west of Della
ware street, between Maryland and Chesa-
peake streets, the earth was removed so as
to make a distance of two feet from the
door of plaintiffs room to the alley. There
were no placards of warning posted and the
plaintiff walked out of his store room with
out knowing OF the excavations. He fell to
the ground and received injuries, on ac-
count of which he sues.

The fact that the eyes of the country are
constantly upon Indianapolis has been
clearly demonstrated in the Office of the
Board of Public Safety. The estimates of
the city expenses for the next fiscal year
contained an item for the purchase of new
hose. These estimates. as published in the
newspapers, have gone out over the coun-
try and notice thus given to the manu-
facturers of hose that the city intended
making purchases. These estimates were
published in the papers ON Tuesday morn
ing, and yesterday morning Clerk Her
rick began receiving communication from
the agents of the various brands of hose
making inquiries as to the time the city
would probably be ready TO purchase.
Some of the inquiries were made by wire,
with requests for immediate Geographic
answer. Others were by letter. The enter
prising agents were all informed that the
city would not be ready TO purchase new
hose till the two new companies were put
into service, which will probably be next
January.

specifications seem to be only a bluff:
They are very indefinite and leave all
matters OF detail to the bidder TO arrange
for himself. In this regard he is COM
PEELED TO pay attention to no specifications
whatever. There is a general requirement
that the workmanship and material must
be equal to Cooper's specifications for 1890.
A number of bridge builders have written
for copies with an intention OF bidding
upon the work The commissioners IL Is
believed by some engineers. have so pre-
pared the Specifications that they can con-
sistently award the contract TO a favored
bidder. The loophole through which they
will be able TO escape blame for this VIII
be that other bidders did not conform to
the specifications. The latter are of such
whether a bid conforms to them or not.

tons; allowing division Communicates TO

CompInint Comes Too Late.

The Board of Works, yesterday morning,
received complaint from a number of prop
erty owners on the line OF the Lockerbie-
street sewer. They object to the assess
ment against their property for the con-
struction of the sewer, on the grounds that
it was not built according to the specifca-
tons. They claim that the catch basins
are too low and that the street was not re-
stored to it's former condition after the
work upon the sewer had been completed.
The work has been accepted by the CITY
and President Wildman saws II was ex-
amined before it was accepted.
