THE HEAVY PENSION PAYMENT.
Over 1000 Persons Given Their Money
in Five Days.

The past five days have been busy ones
for Pension Agent Ensley and his large
force of clerks. The quarterly payment
has been unusually heavy, and never
before has the Office force been so rushed.
The work began at 6 o'clock last Monday
and up to last night 66, 79S pensioners had
been paid, the aggregate amount of the
pensions being s., 49,, $50. &c. About 5000 were
paid over the counter and the balance by
mail. 1t required several wagons to carry
the pension Office mail this week, and it is
estimated that there was fully two tons Of
it handled. Over 5000 pensioners remain
to be paid, and their certificates will stray
gle in during the next ten days. The mail
from California and some of the far-away
States will begin arriving early next week,
and soon all the veterans will have their
money. The hard times nave had the eff
feet of making the pensioners more prompt
In sending for their money.
The largest pension paid is that for
total disability, namely, .$72 a month, or
$2l6 a quarter. The Indianapolis agency

In spite of the fact that many of the pen
Sioners do not cash their checks promptly,
the delay sometimes being of considerable
duration, the books balance perfectly, and
the record of the office is among the best
ever known to the Pension Department.
While the work OF paying over the counter
had to be eXpeditiously done, every court
esy and attention has been shown the
pensioners.

CENTER TOWNSHIP CONVENTION.
Date for 1t to Be Set by the Committee
Tonight.

The Republican township committee Will
meet in the Criminal Court room tonight
TO set a day for the township convention.
There is a sentiment among a number IA
voring the holding Of the convention during
the early part of March.
There was a meeting of the committee
men in the Tenth ward at the office of the
city clerk last night to effect a ward organ
iZation. Steven Crane was elected chairman
and Charles Elliott secretary Of the ward
organization. The question Of an early
township convention was voted on, and it
was the unanimous sentiment Of the meet
ing that the convention should be held on
March 3. and the delegates should be ap-
portioned, two to each precinct and one
additional for each fifty votes.
The meeting OF the Columbia Lincoln
League, at Columbia Hall, last night, was
as usual largely attended, and a number of
leher. president OF the club, spoke on the
tariff question. When he referred to General
Harrison he was interrupted by loud and
prolonged cheering. Mr.. Osborne, a farm
er, was present, and said the hard times
were pinching the farmer severely, and he
was anxious to remove the cause.
The civil-Service agitation came in for a
share of the speeches, and was condemned
in terms not the least uncertain. w. p.

TO ADOPT THE RULES
Mayors Cabinet Considers Civil
Service at q Private Meeting.
Opposition to the Rules Not Strong
Enough to Prevent Their Passage
Protesting Committee.

There was an executive meeting of the
Mayors cabinet in the Mayors private
Office on Thursday night for the purpose of
discussing the proposed civil-service rules.
The regular meeting Of the cabinet is to be
held about the middle of next week, and
the preliminary meeting was held on
Thursday night for the purpose of feeling
the pulse of the heads of departments upon
the question of civil service. Each of them
expressed views singly, but 1t was desired
to have all objections that might be urged
brought forward before the regular meet
ing Of the cabinet, in order that the exact
position of each member Of the cabinet
might be known before the regular meeting.
1t developed that there was opposition to
the rules in the cabinet, but it is not yet
strong enough to defeat the adoption of
the rules. There is considerable objection
TO their adoption among Republicans in
various parts of the city, and these objec-
tions were urged upon the cabinet meeting.
The civil-service advocates, however, claim
that the duty is imperative upon them to
adopt some sort of rules. and believe that
thew are compelled to do so to comply with
the provisions Of the charter. The discus
sion before the cabinet on Thursday night
was spirited, and speeches were made with
that freedom that prevails when the fear of
publicity is not present.
y committee of South-siders called at the
courthouse yesterday to see the Mayor, but
were unable to get an audience on account
of his illness. The object Of their visit was
to protest against the keeping in position of
a Democratic captain at a certain South
side engine house. Their objections were
not upon political grounds, but because, ii
is claimed, the captain has been guilty of
profanity towards the men under him and
has conducted himself in a manner unbe-
coming his position. They claimed that re-
movals which had been promised had not
been made and wanted to learn the cause
of the delay.

LOVELESS'S MISSING LETTER.
He Has His Former Landlady Arrested
for Interfering with the Mails.

Sadie Wetzel, about forty years of age,
and who keeps a boarding house at 800
South Meridian street, was before United
States Commissioner Van Buren,, yester-
day, charged by a travelling man named
Albert F. Loveless with having made way
with some Of his mail. Loveless and his
family formerly boarded with Mrs. Wet
eel, and when they left there was not the
best of feeling between him and the land
lady. The latter claims she conceded $40
in his board bill TO get rid Of him. while
he shows a receipt in full signed by her.
At any rate, there was a letter came for
him after his departure. which is unac-
counted for and still among the missing.
Mrs. Wetzel says she kept ii a few days,
not knowing the address of Mr.. Loveless,
and finally dropped a note to him at the
general delivery requesting him to call and
get the letter. He did not reSpond, so she
claims she dropped the letter in the nearest
mail box and il never came back.
Mr.. LOVeleSS was exceedingly in earnest
in the prosecution of the case, asserting
his positive belief that Mrs. WetZel had de-
stroyed the letter. The evidence, however,
was not sufficiently strong To warrant the
Commissioner in holding her for trial, and
she was discharged, much to the disgust
of her former bOarder, who left the court
room swearing he would vet have legal
redress of some sort or another.

CRUSHED UNDER A HAND CAR.
Michael Donahue and Others Injured on
the Big Four.

Five Big Four section hands had an ex-
perience yesterday afternoon that they will
not forget for a time. They were on a
small handcar bowling along before the
wind on the track of that road, near the
cerealine works, when the car jumped the
track and scattered them in all directions.
The high wind blowing against the cloth
ing Of the men had given the car as great
velocity as if it had been rugged out with
a sail, and when 1t left the track without
the slightest warning the consequences
were disastrous. Michael Donahue tried to
hold on to the car. and was dragged under
meath ii and pounded along for some dis
lance. When picked up he was unconscious
and was cut and bruised from head to foot.
Two ribs were literally caved in, and his
clothing was torn to ShredS. He looked
as if he had been run through q threshing
machine, and was bleeding profuSely.
Donahue lives on Mclean street, North In
dianapolis, and his injuries are regarded
as serious. If internally hurt he may not
recover, though DR.. Cary, who attended
him, thought last night that his injuries
were scarcely likely to prove fatal.
Another of the men, whose name was
not learned, had his head cut open, and
the doctor had 10 take several stitches in
il. The other three We're bruised and cut,
but not so badly. The accident occurred
about three miles north of the city.

a Plaster Head of Lincoln.

There is on exhibition at II. Lieber's a
plaster head Of Lincoln. The work is re-
markably well done and the martyred
Presidents great strength of character is
well shown in the lines Of the face. The
artist is Louis Henri Reed, son of Enos 3.
Reed, and the work was done Immediately
after the death of Lincoln. Mr.. Reed was
a great admirer OF the President and ex-
pected to make a full bust of Lincoln just
before he was shot. This he never accom-
Dlished, but the head was done and has
been in the family ever since. There is a
duplicate of the head at the Statehouse and
it has been there for many years. The
head was mad when Mr.. Reed was but
eighteen years old and it was his first at
tempt. 1t shows that he might have be-
come o sculptor had his health permitted.
The family hope 10 be able to take orders
for duplicates, as Lincoln grows each year
more dear to the hearts Of the people. The
head is set in a deep frame with q heavy
walnut border, which shows 1t to advan-
tage. 1t will be on exhibition for a few
DAYS longer, and an effort will then be
made to have the Lincoln League, which
meets here Tuesday, purchase il.

A HAND IN ATHLETICS
College Presidents Will Regulate
Intercollegiate Sports.
Meeting Held Here Last ~Night-HOnOr
Scholarships on the Present
Basis Will Be Abolished.

The Association OF College Presidents Of
Indiana held a meeting last night at the
clubroom of the Bates House. The fol-
lowing heads Of educational Institutions Of
this State were in attendance: Joseph
Swain, OF the State University; ]. p. ID.
John, of DePauw; ]. II. Smart, of Purdue;
G.. S. Burroughs, of Wabash; j. j. Mills,
of Earlham; w. T.. Stott, of Franklin; H.
Il. Eddy, of Rose Polytechnic, and Scot
Butler, of Butler.
President John presided and President
Mills acted as secretary. The first subject
discussed by the association last evening
was that of honor scholarships for the high
schools. 1t was decided after considerable
talk to abolish these scholarships just as
soon as such action should be ratified by
all the colleges represented in the associa-
ton. They are all thought to be favorably
disposed toward such abolition, but the
trustees of one of the colleges represented
last night have not yet taken formal action
on the subject. Hanover, State Normal,
Moore's Hill and Coates College, of Terre
Haute, had no representatives at last
known to want these scholarships done
away with, and the other two probably
entertain a similar view.
intercollegiate athletics were next taken
up and discussed AT some length, after
which Messrs. Smart, Burroughs and John
were appointed a committee to draft regu-
lations for the control of athletics at the
several colleges in the association.
The matter Of a Students admission to
q college after he had left some other col
lege was taken UP, and il was decided that
When a student leaves a college and ap-
plies for admission 10 another he must
bring a letter from the institution he has
left.
The subject of chapel exercises was gen.
orally discussed, the members giving the
experiences at their several colleges, and
exchanging views on the matter. After a
three-hOur session the association ad-
journed to meet some time during May at
the call of the president.

TO GIVE TO THE CITY.
The Unemployed's Committee Appeal to
the Encampment Fund Subscribers.

The encampment FUND assignment COM
mittee appointed by the unemployed has is
sued the following appeal:
"a meeting of the unemployed, held in the
Criminal Court room. has constituted a
Il. Kershner. G.. A. SchnulI, G. A. Shrader,
G. y. Johnson, Herman Ackelow and i.
b. Cummings, to act as encampment fund
assignment committee. The object is to Sc
cure from the Individual subscribers the
legal transfer of the encampment fund bal
ance from the Commercial Club to the city
as a special fund in addition to what has
already been appropriated to be Immediate
ly expended on public improvements. The
Council and city authorities are pledged
to make this disposition of the money as
soon as received. The deplorable fact that
there are thousands OF idle men in our
midst whose condition is daily becoming
more and more aggravated makes 1t imper-
alive on the part OF this community that
some effective means to provide employ
ment be devised. The interests of human
ity, and the preservation of social order
and tranquility, demand the most speedy
and determined action on the part of citi-
zens. The regularly constituted authorities
have time after time been appealed tC for
relief, and the answer has invariably been
lack of funds Reference has repeatedly
been made to the ~unexpended balance of
the encampment fund as the MY available
means in sight. 1t is, however, improbable
that the city can avail itself of such funds
for public improvements in any reasonable
length of time. Therefore, to expedite mat
ters and remove all possible question of
title to said funds, as a good citizen who
has the welfare Of humanity and the inter-
ests of the community at heart, you are
hereby requested to assign your share of
said surplus TO the city, to be by 1t immed-
lately expended in public improvements"
The above circular is now being indus
triOusly circulated by the committee, with,
as it seems, 1attering prospects of success.
The men who are urging this action argue
that, considering the complicated questions
involved, with the city threatening suit for
recovery, the different purposes and dispo-
sitions Of the various funds not being
clearly established, this would be the most
feasible and satisfactory way out OF an I'M
seemly s~quahble, and the money turned into
channels where immediate relief will result

tition before the board for the construc-
ton of a bridge over Pleasant run at Ray
mond street, which had been referred to the

at that point was very desirable, but the
one at Madison avenue was more used and
was very weak. He a. bridge

MISERABLE EXISTENCE ENDED.
John Brennan, Who Cleaned Out Saloons,
Found Dead in Bed.

John Brennan was found dead in his bed
at No. 361 West Pearl street at about s
o'clock last night. Brennan was about
sixty-three years of age and had eked out
a miserable existence by cleaning saloons
in the vicinity. He roOmed in a howell on
Pearl, between BlaclfOrd and California
street and ate such meals as he could pro
cure with his meagre earnings. 1t is not
known at what time he went to his room
Yesterday afternoon or evening. About s
O'Clock he was discovered by people living
in the same place and, failing TO arouse
him, DIR. G.. NJ. Eisenbeiss was sent for.
When he arrived he found Brennan dead
and the indications were that he had been
dead at least two hours. The cause of
death is unknown. There were no marks
OF violence upon his person and from
the appearance of the face II seemed that
death had been painless. DR.. Eisenbeiss
Immediately notified the coroner who went
to the scene and viewed the remains. An
autopsy will be held to-day to ascertain the
cause of death.
