RUSIE WILL HOLD OUT.
The Indianapolis Boy Says the New
York Club Must Keep Its Agreement.


Amos Rusie, the star pitcher of the New
York club. persists in his refusal to sign a
contract with that organization at the price
fixed, $500. For several months past Man
ager John Ward has been using every eff
fort to induce Rusie TO sign at the terms
offered him, but without avail. On Satur-
day the New York management sent its
ultimatum to the big pitcher and to catcher
Charley Farrell, saying it would positively
give the men only the money already Of
fered and that no more correspondence
would be held with them on the subject. 1t
was stated further that If the two men did
not report I'm New York by April l they
would be locked for each day subsequent
to that date.
Rusie has been keeping in good condition
here all winter. He says that last fall
Mr.. Talcott, who is at the head of the New
York club, told him that If he would keep
in form during the winter months and re-
port in New York In March in fine trim
il would be worth thousands Of dollars to
the club, at the same time adding, so
Rusie claims, that it would be worth his
while to do so, as he CTalcotO would make
him a handsome cash present before the
season opened. Rusle says he agreed to
this and that he has kept his part of the
agreement, and now wants that present
before he signs. He has not touched a drop
Of liquor since Jan. 1, and, meanwhile, has
kept in training having spent almost all
his time at the indianapolis ball grounds
during the past few Weeks practicing. He
has trained off ten pounds, and now weighs
2l3. His speed Is terrific, and the players
OF the indianapolis team who have watched
him work say that he is certainly in mag
%nificent shape and has even more than his
old time swiftness and control OF the ball.
Rusie laughs at the New York clubs ulti-
matum and its published intention to go
ahead with the stock of pitchers ii now mas
on hand. and says he Is not at all worried.
He positively asserts that he will remain
right here in indianapolis until the agree
ment which Mr.. Talcott made with him
Is carried out. If his good condition Is
worth thousands of dollars to the New
York club, as Mr.. Talcott asserted IL would
be. Rusie claims he is entitled to some
wait for IL. SO far as being locked for not
reporting April l is concerned. he will take
his chances on that, and, under the cir
cumstances, thinks he has the best of the
rate he is going to test his convictions. He
remarked yesterday, with a laugh, that he
might be here until hot weather, though he
didn't expect 10 be.
The uniforms for the local team arrived
yesterday and appear TO be satisfactory.
The cream colored suit with maroon trim
mings is for home use, and the
blush grey, with blue trimmings,
will be used on the trips. The only
objection that Manager Sharsig and the
laced. and sometimes occasion a delay In
dressing and undressing, which, however,
Is not a serious drawback. The uniforms
were made by a st. Louis establishment,
other paraphernalia that go with such
suits.

DEMONSTRATION
EnE- AND ALI ITS BAD RESULTS
SVNEnlS. AL DRUGGISTS.
CONFIDENCE IN GEN. HARRISON.
A. w. Wishard Speaks of the Ex-Presi-
dents Reception in California.

MIR. Albert W. Wishard has returned from
T. Jeffries. who has a claim 10 a portion
Of a large estate at Oakland. He says DR..
Jeffries will probably recover the portion
due him Nh. WiShard was in California at
the time President Harrison delivered his
first lecture at Leland Stanford, jr., Uni
versity, and he says that the manner in
which the ex-President was received in
California was surprising. so great was the
honor which the Western people desired TO
show General Harrison. Had the ex-Presi-
dent consented to lido informal recep-
tons. Mr.. Wishard says the crowds would
have been greater than they We're when
General Harrison made his trip TO Cali
fornia while President. He finds that rot
only in California, but in Oregon and the
other Western States. the people have even
a warmer feeling for General Harrison than
they had while he was President. A con-
trast between the Harrison administration
and the Cleveland administration has had
q very strong Elk 1 on the feeling g The
Western people towards the eX-President.
On every side and everywhere Mr.. Wishard
found expressions of confidence in General
Harrison.
Mr.. Wishard says that the apportlonment
suit now before Judge Brown will be
II. The continuance was not on account of
Mr.. Wishards absence, but on account of
the necessity for the appearance of At
torney-genera Smith at Washington during
the hearing of the tax cases before the
Supreme Court. Il IS believed chat the Su-
ment case before the mex Legislature is
elected.

LAST TOWN BOARD MEETING.
West Indianapolis Trustees Will Not
Remove Marshal MahOlm.

AT the meeting Of the West indianapolis
Town Board last night the election bills of
last Thursday, amounting to $40. were al
lowed. Bills for street Improvements were
also allowed. At the board meeting last
week it was decided to allow the water
works 10 lay water mains on Hadley ave-
nue.. from Morris street TO York street. The
board since that time has been informed
by the water company that the town must
order three water plugs within that dis
trict If the water mains are TO be laid. The
board thought that two plugs were sufi-
cient and SO decided 10 withhold the lay
ing of the mains until further investiga-
ton. At the last meeting it was also de-
cided 10 make further Improvements on
Marion avenue. The board had since
learned that the town would be liable for
about one-half Of the expense. as there is
public land beside the streets and alleys
on the desired Improvement, and last night
the board ordered the matter 10 be laid
over.
The question OF removing Marshal Ma
holm has on several occasions been set for
consideration. but always deferred. Last
night the marshal Informed the board that
he desired the subject 10 be considered and
settled Accordingly the board resolved
itself into a commlttes. and a petition was

Governor Matthews. the Encouragement
and others interested will leave Saturday
for Washington. 1t is quite probable that
the court will limit the ~gumen on the
cases to two hours a side, though il is pos
sible that this rule may be suspended in
the present instance, owing to the large
amount of money at issue, namely the tax
alton Of $3.50, 10000 of railroad property.

1. Elder. J.. II. Cross. William Mckinney
and II. E. Shepard, who were willing to
testify that the marshal was no longer a
citizen of the town, the point involved In
the consideration of his removal Presi-
dent Hagerdon then called for the men to
testify. but they were not TO be found. AT
this point Of the investigation at was ap-
parent that the matter of removing the
marshal was the work OF pique. J: g VIII
liams. a citizen, stated that he had been at
the marshaTs house on Belmont avenue,
positively that the house was empty. Trus-
tee Uncle John Pierson testified that he
had been told that Marshal Maholm had
Wayne township. Mr.. Maholm's father-in-
law then testified that such was not the
case. Mrs. Maholm, his daughter, had been
staying at his home for some time, but in
no way was IL true that she and her hus-
band had taken up their home with him.
After the testimony Of several witnesses
''The Bringing up of this matter is due
to the fact that il was reported that had
moved out of town into Wayne township:
1t is also stated that I had been seen out
there many times. This statement is true.
NY wife went TO stay with her mother and
has been there for some time. While she
was there her father went to Illinois, and
for the reason that there were no men at
the house to protect them at night l went
that it was my intention 10 move from the
town. Such a thought never entered my
mind. MY staying out at my father-in-
laws house during his absence gave rise
10 the rumor that / had moved from the
town.
Trustee Person. who. it has been ru-
mored. has been the originator of the
charge against Maholm, then questioned
the marshal on several points, but with
LITTLE satisfaction. Then he moved that the
matter be laid on the table, which was car
ried. Last nights meeting was the last
To be known as a town board meeting.
The board will hold an extra session Thurs

BIG CLASS OF BOYS.
Unusual Number Among the June Grad
yates of the High School.

Professor Hufford announced yesterday
that the honors for the June class of grad
yates had been won by three boys: Archi-
bald Ferguson, first; Lee Elan, second;
Virgi i Dalrymple, third. This is the largest
class of boys ever graduated from the High
School, there being twenty-five boys and
ffty-three girls. At the class meeting the
following were elected officers: President,
Harley Gibbs; vice president. Frank Jel-
left; secretary, Margaret Sayles. For the
class colors yellow and white were chosen.
The class pin will be a gold star, bOrdered
with yellow and white enamel, and en-
graved with 81. II. S, June, 1894" The
three who won scholarships will be among
the speakers at commencement. Three 9TH
ers will be chosen at the class meeting next
Monday, and the last three, to be selected
by the teachers, will be announced later.
On account of the large number of boys,
they think the limit OF four boys as speak
ers is too small. The class social will be
held Saturday afternoon, from 2 TO 3, in
High School Hall. A glee club will be or
ganized among the members of the class
for the benefit and pleasure of the class.

Widening Kentucky Avenue.


The Board of Public Works yesterday
took up the declaratory resolution for the
opening of Kentucky avenue from Merrill
street TO White river to connect with the
new bridge being built over the stream at
that point. The heirs of Henry Bradley
and the Van Camp Packing Company
demonstrated against the assessment bene-
fits to their respective properties. The re
monstrance of the Bradley heirs was
against the number of feet upon which
benefits had been assessed. The assessment
was upon sixty-three feet frontage. while
they claimed they owned but fifty feet.
The Val Camp company claimed their
property did not abut upon the street, there
being a strip of ground a few feet wide
between the property owned by them and
the proposed new street. On April 2 the
board will hear remonStranceS from nom
residents and take final action.
The board took final action upon the reSo-
luton for the Improvement of Hannah
