To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The Sentinel charges the present Board
Of Public Works with robbing the people
interested in the Clifford-avenue sewer. 1t
says:
New evidence of the incompetence and
laundering methods of the men who are
making a stagger at managing the affairs
OF this municipality is comfng to light
every day. The latest blunder of this
Observation-Disclosures will prove a costly one
to the owners of property on Clifford ave-
nue., but whether they will tamely submit
TO the film fam that Mr.. Denny's board
Of Public Works Is trying to give them re-
mains to be seen."
The facts In the case are The former
assessment bureau made out the assess
ment rolls. The contractor, 1t is said,
paid the former clerks extra to rush the
work through to avoid delay and mistakes
that the incoming clerks might be guilty
of. The result shows a slight mistake of
enough for the amount Of benefits re-
ceived. The s2,6 which was wrongfully as
sessed against Mr.. w. H. English had to
be prorated. TIL present Board of Public
Works is simply e~ndeavoring to straighten
matters VI. In justice to the present as
sessment bureau this explanation is due.
1t is true the present beard signed the
rolls, that being one of their first official
acts. As a matter of course the board de-
pended on the assessment bureau for the
correctness of the assessment rolls. These
are the plain facts in the case.

MRS. IRWIN HARRIsoN'S FUNERAL.
Ceremonies at the Church of Her Child
hood and Her Sorrows.

The funeral of Mrs. Bette Sheets Harri-
son, who died suddenly at Minneapolis
Tuesday. was held yesterday afternoon at
8 o'clock, at the First Presbyterian Church.
The family, who came from Minneapolis
and Chicago, were met at the Union Station
by General Harrison and Mrs. j. r. Nc
Kee, Judge Solomon Claypool and family,
Mrs. Edward Dean and other relatives and
friends. The pallbearers were: G. C.. Fos-
ter. John II. Holiday, ". X Hendricks,
Henry Latham, Benjamin d. Walcott and
John s. Harrington. When they arrived at
the church quite a number of old friends
and neighbors filed the pews. The short
services were conducted by Rev. DR.. NJ. L.
Haines. The quartet choir of the church
sang LEAD, Kindly Light" DIR. Haines Of
said that Ii was most fitting that the last
rite for Mrs. Harrison should be In the
First Church. In that church her father
many years, and forty-six years ago this
month, Mrs. Harrison, then Bette sheets,
joined the church. She lived. he said, a
constant Christian life till the time of her
death. The casket was covered with flow
ers and the pulpit was filled with floral
tributes from relatives and friends In this
city. The burial was at Crown Hill, and
the remains were laid between those of her
husband and son, by her own wish, ex-
pressed the last time she was here on a
visit.
Mrs. Harrison had seen her father, moth
er, husband and her only son buried from
that church, and had known almost every
form of earthly sorrow. When she was a
young woman she was the belle of the city,
and passed all of her young life on the
spot now occupied by the Denison Hotel.
Her father and mother always entertained
handsomely, and every two years the MEM
bers OF the Legislature were their guests
for a large party. Her marriage to Irwin
Harrison, a member OF the regular army,
was the occasion of one of the most bril-
liant events ever known in the city, and,
in comparison, eclipsed the weddings of to-
day. She lived through many changes from
the luxury of those days, and through them
woman. For some time before Mrs. Harri-
son went to live with her married daughter,
Mary Harrison Nichols, she was connected
with the Public Library Of this city.

rice Dalton and Escapes.

Maurice Dalton and Monk Wilson boarded
a J., NJ. e. L. train for this city at Sey-
mour last night and Dalton took a seat
beside a travelling man. The two became
engaged In a quarrel. and as the train was
pulling around the "Y" near the Union
Station they decided to get off and settle
matters. Wilson followed them, and in the
short fight that followed Dalton received
an ugly cash on the left cheek four inches
long and a slight one on the left wrist. He
went to the Union Station and startled the
people there with his CORY appearance.
Blood was streaming from the cut on his
face. saturatlng his clothing. He met Ser
geant LaPorte, who took him to a drug
store. While the Sergeant was telephoning
for an ambulance Dalton slipped out and
was taken to a saloon on Virginia avenue
in a hack. Wilson was there before him
and placed Dalton, who was fast weaken
ing from the loss of blood, on a table. DIR.
Terrell, of the City Dispensary, was sum-
moned, and he sewed up the cut. Dalton
at first insisted in his story to Captain
Quigley that he was injured by striking a
switch in getting off the train. but Wilson
related the truth in the case. Dalton was
removed TO the City Hospital. The police
made an unsuccessful attempt to locate the
travelling man.

ICEHOUSE BURNED.
Allen Caylor Suffered One Thousand
Dollars Loss from Incendiaries.

Allen Caylor, the dealer in ice, suffered
the loss OF another icehouse last evening.
It was situated on Eighth street, one square
west of the canal. About ten minutes after
Z o'clock flames were seen shooting out of
the north end by people residing close by,
and they FASTENED TO the nearest telephone
to send in the alarm, but by the time the
fire department was notified the structure
was a mass of flames. The fire CAV a
deep red glow to the sky The building
was doomed, but nevertheless water was
thrown on the ruins A small shed was
also destroyed. Mr.. Caylor estimates his
loss at $1,000, with no insurance. There was
no ice stored in the building. and there had
not been this year. Mr.. Caylor is sup
ported by the fire department in his theory
that 1t was incendiary. as the building was
situated over a square from other build
ings. and no factories or railroads are near
enough 70 admit OF the theory OF flying
sparks. Two months ago Mr.. Caylor. lost
ten icehouses a little further south Of the
one burned last night.

Populism comes high in Colorado, where

effect to consume not less than $Sc0,0O,O00
of values in that State. This is the tes-
League. composed of 5000 business men,
partly Republicans, partly Democrats and
partly recent Populists. Populist rule in
Colorado is compared by the league TO a
devastating forest fire, which, by destroy

values to shrink two-thirds: So bighting
has been this influence that it is impossible
to borrow on a gold mine one dollar on
five dollars worth of ore in sight, and

would a pest house.
