A NEW CHARITY.
The COlored Youths Industrial IIsti-
tute-Its Purposes and Needs.

Among the many charitable organizations
In this city which the generosity Of In
dianapolis people has made possible is one
SO recently and quickly established that the
general public has scarcely been aware of
its existence and purposes. This is the
Colored Youths Industrial Institute, now
located at Is and II South Alabama street.
This school was started Nov. %, 1898. by
Mrs. Luella Coleman, who is supported and
Endorsed by some of the most favorably
known people in indianapolis in her efforts
TO establish for the first time in the his
tory OF her people in this city an industrial
institute for cOlored children. The object
of the institute is to afford an opportunity
for poor and honest uninstructed boys and
girls when parents are helpless in the mat
ter. or who are without parents or guard
ians, 10 become learned and skilled in such
industrial knowledge as will keep them
from the streets and vicious associates,
and at the same time start them in those
paths which will enable them to grow up
respectable. law-abiding members of So
ciety and become useful men and women
The ultimate object is to purchase, endow
and incorporate under the laws of Indiana
but in the meantime such provision must
be made as Will not allow the good work
to be delayed.
The school was first started in a very
modest way in the back part of Simpsons
Chapel, at the corner of Second and How
ard streets with Mrs. Coleman as the only
teacher. In the course OF few months
however she succeeded in so interesting a
number of her people to the great need
of continuing and charging the work that
a club was formed. known as the Wom-
ans New Enterprise, the object OF which
Is TO furnish teachers, aid I'm securing SUD-
plies and the necessary means for keeping
the school in running order. With the help
OF the new club the school was enabled TO
take other quarters at 267 North East
street. when eight teachers were engaged
in the work. These rooms were soon found
INADEQUATE, and the school is now at II and
IL South Alabama street where twelve
teachers are kept busy every Saturday
afternoon, from 2 TO with over one hum
dred pupils. In addition to teaching the
children To and knit in a frst-cIass
manner, millinery, dressmaking and the
different trades for boys are to be taught
as soon as such arrangements can be made
In connection with the school the managers

school is yet in its infancy and is i'm need

MAY HOLD ON TO 1T
CITY FINDS NO ACCEPTANCE OF
ALABAMA STREET VACATION.
Did the Union Railway Company Neg
iect to Formally Accept the Ordin-
ance:-Matter Being Investigated.

There is a question as to whether Ala
bama street, under the Virginia avenue via
duct, has been legally vacated 1t was the
intention to vacate it, and the Council on
May 4, 1871, passed ordinance vacating
the street. This has been generally ac-
cepted as amounting to a vacation. but il
was provided in the ordinance that II
should not be in force and effect until after
the Union Railway Company had accepted
the terms of the ordinance So far as
known, the company has never accepted
the ordinance though il has considered the
street as vacated and occupied portions of
it, The street was vacated as a consider
alton for the erection of the viaduct The
time within which the railroad company
was to have accepted The ordinance has
long since expired, and their failure to ac-
cept it may be construed as an evidence
OF their intention not to accept it, The
viaduct has been built, and it is possible
that the city may refuse to vacate
the street. masmuch as the railroad COM
pany did not take advantage of it's oppor-
tunity and accept WITHIN the time pre-
scrbed by the ordinance
The fact that the vacating ordinance had
never been accepted came to light by rea-
son OF the decay of the bridge over Pogue's
run at Alabama street. This bridge has
become so dilapidated that il is unsafe
for the passage of vehicles The Board of
Public Works was asked to repair ii. but
was of the opinion that the bridge was
upon property vacated for the railroad
and began an investigation. They have or
dered distractions erected to prevent the
passage Of vehicles over the bridge till il
is ascertained whether the city still has
control of the street under the Viaduct
or whether 1t was legally vacated. Thus
far no acceptance of the ordinance has been
found though "a careful search has been
made for 1t by Clerk Nixon.
Members of the Board of Public Works
decline TO say. in advance, what the action
of the board might be in case it was found
that the street had not been legally va
Gated. IL such proves 10 be the case. IL is
probable that the railroad company will

ing way The train puffs and stag
gers up awful grades; winds and
twists and doubles on itself in the
most confusing fashion; goes round
and round cup like depressions and
seems in general not to know where
it is going. But, like the person in the
song, it gets there just the same"
The road passes through some pref
rough settlements, but there is civil
ization and wealth at each end Of the
line, and this enables the railway to
pay good salary to the manager, al
though I never heard that it so far
forgot itself as to pay any dividends to
the shareholders.
Well, one day there was lot Of
nabobs going East, and, as the
manager was also travelling in that
direction, he ordered his private car
hitched to the noon express, and
away they went
A private car, the manager tells
me, differs from an ordinary coach,
and is superior in some respects. even
to the Pullman. A good DEAL Of
course, depends on the manager. As
a rule the interior decorations of a
managers car are very fine and ex-
pensive, including artistic effects in
Burgundy, dry champagne. fine deli
cate uranus OF OH cigars
from Havana, and things of that sort.
The time of this memorable trip
was a few days before Christmas.
and people were going East to see
their folks, many of the travellers
having considera BILE amounts of money
on them Besides this, there was
$500, 600 in the safe of the express car
going through to New York. The
fact made the messen niger a trifie anN-
ious, and it was one of the causes
that were bringing him East. How
ever, the train would be out of the
mountains while it was still day
light; so the manager felt no anxiety.
All the nabobs who amounted to
anything were in his private car, and
they were enjoying themselves as
people should during that festive sea
son, but not, if I understand Temp
kins Alright, entirely by admiring the
scenery, although doubtless that
added to their pleasure
just as they were in the toughest
part of the mountains there was a
wild shrek of the whistle, a sudden
scrunt of the air brakes, and the
train, with an abruptness that was
just short of an accident, stopped.
What's up?" cried every body
81 don't know" said the manager,
getting little pale around the giIls.
''YOu all stay here, and I'll go out
and see"
It need hardly be said that none of
the passengers knew of the money in
the express car
The manager stepped down from
his private coach at the rear, and the
moment he looked toward the front
Of the train, he saw that his worst
fears were realized just ahead of
the locomotive, on the rails, was a
huge pile of logs and railway ties.
Standing around the engine and the
express car was a group of the most
