OPPOSED TO RAILROAD POOLS.
Board of Trade Governors Express
Themselves on PattisOn Bill.

Most of the hours session Of the Board
of Trade governors last night was de-
voted TO another animated discussion of
interstate matters. The talk
was precipitated by d. p. Erwin's motion
to send word to the chairman of the COM
mittee having in charge the Pattison bill
in Congress that the Indianapolis Board
of Trade is unalterably opposed to any
amendment TO the present law that will
permit of railroad pooling not subject to
the approval of the Interstate-commerce
Commission. The Pattison bill Is designed
by the railroads to mitigate, in some re-
spects. what they. deem the hardships i'm
posed on them by the interstate-commerce
law and gives them a chance to go into
the courts with cases where they think
they have, to use a sporting phrase. "got
the short end of it,"
There was much discussion about the
matter and it took a somewhat wide range
as 1T invariably does when the Interstate
question gets before the Board
of Trade. Mr. Tanner wanted to make the
boards declaration more radical, and his
motion to amend by making the commits
sion's objection a bar to the Objectionable
pooling. arrangement was agreed to after
some further talk. Ford Woods thought
before taking any action. Mr.. Lazarus
also opposed the proposed action, but the
board put 1t through, and Mr.. Erwin's
motion as amended was agreed to.
An assessment of 81 a member was
ordered on account of the death of John
o. EVAN. James E. Bodine was elected
to this vacancy, paying 500 for the men,
bership. 1t was announced that Charles
w. Sutton had bought the membership of
Thomas A. Mcintyre, of New York.
The Indiana Grand Lodge, Knights of
Pythias, wrote TO the board asking its as
sistance in securing the biennial conclave
for this city in 1896. The board approved
the movement and directed the president
and secretary to send a formal invitation
to the Supreme Lodge officers, and to fol-
low ii up with any further efforts that
might suggest themselves.
A letter from Governor Matthews was
read thanking the board for its words Of
commentator on his course during the
recent strike troubles.
The National Lathe and Tool Company,
of Philadelphia, wants to move it's plant
here, and is anxious to have the board
interest some enterprising citizens in a
movement looking to the offering of some
inducement for the change of location.
Secretary Stone, of the National Tran
portation Bureau, wants the board to get
him some local instances of railroads de-
laying shipments longer than was reason
ably necessary. His idea is to Offset de-
murrage charges with these unreasonable
delays. The secretary was directed to
take the matter up and give Mr.. Stone the
desired Information.

FIRED THREE SHOTS Ar HER.
Vance Arthur Arrested for Trying to
Kill Effie Morrison.

Vance Arthur and Fife Morrison have
been living together near Ohio street and
the canal. Yesterday afternoon, about 4
o'clock, they became involved in some dis
pute, which has been a common thing for
them for the past week. They came TO
blows, and the woman defended herself as
best she could. Arthur drew a revolver
and pointed 1T at her threateningly. She ran
from the house, pursued by Arthur with
the revolver in one hand AS she ran from
the yard on the canal bank. Arthur fired
but missed her. She ran into the yard
again, when Arthur fired two more shots,
but without effect. Patrolman Leppert,
who lives close by, heard the shooting and
hurried to investigate. He found Arthur
with the revolver in his possession, and
on the testimony of people living in the
ing concealed weapons and shooting with
intent to kill.
After Arthur was taken to the police
station, Leppert found the woman and ar
rested her on a charge of disturbing the
peace. Several days ago patrolmen Lep-
pert and Asche heard screams coming
from the house. They broke in the door
and entered. They found Arthur in his
shirt sleeves. The shirt BOSOM was COW
cred with blood. 1t was explained by the
many bloody gasheS on the woman's head
and face. She persisted that she had re-
ceived the injuries from a fall and that
Arthur had gotten the blood on his shirt
by her leaning her head on his shirt.

THE STATE ASSESSING
A COMMISSIONERS MEET FOR
THEIR FORTY-DAY SESSION.
cred from Those of Last Year
-B. * q. assessment.

The State Tax Commissioners started
their annual forty-day session yesterday. all
five members being present-Governor Mat
thews, Secretary of State Myers, Auditor of
State Henderson, Col. 1. n. Walker and
Capt. D. f. Allen. Clerk Sweeney. of the
Supreme Court. administered the oath, after
which the commission organized by elect
ing Governor Matthews chairman and Dep
uty Auditor Tanning secretary. After dis
posing of some routine business. the COM
missioners listened to the plea of the Chi
cago division of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road Company, through its general man.
ager, r. b. Campbell, of Baltimore, and T.
j. Griffith, of its tax department, for a gen.
eral reduction Of the valuation placed upon
its line in Indiana. These gentlemen urged
that the present valuation, s30,SO0 a mile, is
much too high, considering the poor bust
ness and the heavy operating expenses.
They claimed that the road shows a def
icit of $40, 000,O 900 in the past twenty-one
years, and that on 271 miles of the road the
company has TO guarantee 8 per cent. on
the bonds. The road was assessed last year
as follows: 1865 miles main track, per
mile, SIC, 100; 1l.24 miles second main, per
mile, 5000; 47.35 miles side track, per mile.
$500; 1866 miles rolling stock. per mile,
s25.
Governor Matthews does not think there
will be many changes in the valuations
from last year, and that the total assess
ments will not fall much short OF those or
1898. There has been a belief in some quar-
ters that the railroad and sleeping-car COM
panieS would benefit somewhat, in view or
recent troubles, but the tax commissioners
while having had no conference on the sub
ject, say they do not believe there will be
much change. The indications are that the
railroads will all make specially strong
pleas for reductions.

BAD MAN FROM HAUGHVILLE.
Charles Ferguson Sent to the Criminal
Court for Wife Beating.

Charles Ferguson, residing in H~aughvflle,
was before Justice of the Peace Johnson
yesterday to answer to the charge of hav-
ing attempted to kill his wife on several
occasions. The evidence showed that Fer
guson is addicted to drunken sprees, during
which he is violent and threatening. espe-
cially towards his wife. On several occa-
sions, not long ago, Ferguson became intox-
icated and went home to vent his mean
ness on his wife. The latter testified
that he threatened to kill her. She said
she had endured her husbands treatment
as long as she could, and so swore out a
warrant for his arrest. The testimony also
showed that Ferguson's mother-in-law had
on several occasions prevented him from
injuring his wife. Justice Johnson thought
the case a weighty one, and bound Fergu-
son over to the Criminal Court under 500
bond. Several days ago Ferguson threat
ened the life of a woman living in Haugh-
vile with a razor. She swOre out a war
rant for his arrest. He was brought before
Justice Martin, where he pleaded guilty and
was fined.

Merchant Policeman Reno Charged
with Passing q Counterfeit.

Merchant policeman Charles Reno was
yesterday arrested by United States Mar
shall Hawkins for having passed a counter
felt two-dollar silver certificate on w. H.
Poirier, a conductor on the North illinois,
street car line. 1t is charged by the gov
eminent officers that Reno knew the bill
was bad, having been so informed at both
F1etcher's and the Indiana National Bank.
This was a week ago Saturday, and on the
following day Reno and a friend visited
Fairview Park, the bill being offered in pay
ment of fare. The conductor was some
what dubious concerning the bills genu-
~ineness, but finally took it, and that night
ii was thrown out on him at the office. He
then took it to the federal authorities and
described Reno, whose name he did not
know. Yesterday the man was located at
So East Cart street, where he lives with
his father-in-law, who is also a Merchant
policeman.
Reno. whose district Is out on College ave-
nue., says he told the conductor he was not
sure the bill was good, but that Poirier ap-
peared satisfied with the money. He says
he received it from an Ash-Street grocer,
whose name he did not know. He was re-
leased under $500 bond, and will have a
hearing before Commissioner Van Buren,
noxt SATURDAY.

A New Counterfeit Bill.

Maj. Thomas B. Carter, treasury agent
for Indiana, received yesterday from the
department at Washington an accurate de-
scription of a new counterfeit ten-dollar bill
which has recently made its appearance. It
is said that the general appearance of the
note is calculated to deceive, although it
displays a number of glaring errors in the
spelling of words and in the punctuation:
The portrait Of Webster in one corner of
the bill is described as fiat and unnatural
in appearance. the shade lines being about
the same depth over the entire face, which
makes the white spot on the forehead too
prominent. The small vine running from
the right side of the counter and immedi-
ately under the word "the," upper left cor
ner, does not appear in the counterfeit. In
the penalty" on the back of the note the
commas between the words mote" and 'or"
and the words 'it' and or are omitted,
as is the period after the word debt and
the bracket after the $1,000. The first word
this is spelled ''tnis,' and the word
Mate is spelled ''plae."
