ALONG MILITARYPARK
LOGANsPORT RAILROAD PEOPLE
WANT AN UNUSUAL PRIVILEGE.
They Ask the Board of Works for a
Right of Way-Slot Machine
Question.

Judge Nelson, of Logansport; ST Sheerin.
n. S. Byram and E.. G.. Cornelius were be-
fore the Board Of Public Works for about
an hour yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of inducing the board to take from
the files and again consider q petition
which was filed in the fall Of 1892 asking
for a right. Of way into the city for the
new Logansport railroad. The committee
said that shortly after the filing of the
petition the money stringency came upon
the country, and with money as scarce as
it was in the market 1t was deemed mad
visable to proceed with the project of build
ing the road. They say money matters
have loosened up to such an extent now
that the officers of the company feel justi-
fed in going ahead, and desire a right Of
way to the Union station.
They claim to own a right of way nearly
the entire length of their route. They have
purchased the old mill-race route coming
down through the city from the northwest
to a point near Landers's penthouse and
desire the Board of Works to grant them
a right Of way from that point. They ask
permission to cross from Landers's pork
house to the north bank of the canal along
side of Military Park, and along this bank
to the present right Of way OF the Big Four
and parallel with that line to the Union
Station. They agree to put an iron fence
alongside the park and wherever the board
deems it necessary. They also agree to do
anything within the bounds of reason to
insure safety to pedestrians and passers.
The board took no action and have set no
future time for hearing additional argu-
ment.

Criticism at the Art Exhibit.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The account in your issue Of this morn
ing OF a Sunday afternoon at the art ex-
hibit might be interestingly supplemented,
1 think, by a report of criticisms OF the
pictures to be heard here and there in the
gallery upon almost any week day or even
ing. In the Sunday attendance, as in that
OF other days OF the week, art lovers and
critics rub elbows with many who have not
yet learned to understand a work OF art or
become conscious OF the standards by which
it should be judged. The Sunday afternoon
opening of the May exhibit OF the Indianap-
oils Art Association has proved, Ia every
respect known TO the writer. the success
that was hoped for IL by the association
and by the public. Crowds went TO see the
pictures. Some chose that day because the
quarter weekday admission fee would have
been a barrierfto a visit at any other time.
Some went TO see for themselves the char
acter OF a Sunday afternoon attendance.
Very many were there who found in Sum
day afternoon their only opportunity for a
daylight view of the pictures In the Judg-
ment of the writer. the charge of at least
a nominal admission Zee. say 10 cents,
would have added to the satisfaction of the
majority OF those present upon each OPEL
Sunday. as II would have given 4 feeling OF
independence In the enjoy ment OF a priv
lege 10 be had at no ether time In Tie week.

"HONEs" TO BE ARRESTED.
A Cigar Dealer Tsaunts His Failure
to Obey a Police Order.

There is likely to be some trouble over
the issuance of the order prohibiting the
use Nof the various slot machines which
were in operation in nearly every store in
the city where cigars were sold until last
week. Yesterday afternoon t. K Igoe. pro-
prietor Of a cigar store, brought his ma
chimes all out and exhibited them. He in
vited anybody that wished and had the
necessary penny or nickel to play them
and paid all winnings in cigars as usual.
He says he will continue to operate the
machines from this time on. He expects to
be arrested, but this is just what he de-
sires, and then he will test the validity of
the order forbidding their use. When the
order was first made he obeyed it and took
all machines out of his store. After this
he learned, he says, that the order was
only partially enforced. and that there
were places in the city where there was no
pretense at complying with the order. Yes
terday morning he called up the police sta
ton by telephone to speak with Superin-
tendent Powell and ask him IL some ma
chimes were TO be permitted TO continue and
others shut off. The superintendent was
not at the police station at the time Igoe
called and the clerk said he would cali the
attention of the superintendent to the al
legged failure to comply with the order;
the police station by telephone and asked
for the superintendent, but again he was
absent. Igoe then went over TO the Mayors
office and asked him If the order was to
be winked at in some cases. HE says the
Mayor told him the reason no arrests had
been made for disobsdience to the order
was that the superintendent desired to wait
TIL the change of officers on their beats
Mayor that he might inform the superin-
tendent that Igoe was operating his slot
machines and would continue to operate
them. He says when the order was issued
the superintendent was asked to agree to
a test case, but declined. NE

DIR. Holmes and Autograph Fiend..

Mr.. Sidney Morse, the sculptor. lectured
yesterday afternoon at the Propylaeum on
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes. He spoke of
moods, and also of his COM
passion for the people who write and ask
him for his autograph as well as for those
who send him manuscripts to read. In re-
gard to the autographs some one once
sent him a photograph, but he would not
use II, his conscience would not let him.
The autograph hunters, he said, were most
ly women, and there were stacks OF let
ters from them. DIR. Holmes has a regard
for aspirants for literary fame and has
been known to spend a whole afternoon
trying to write to a young woman in a
way not to hurt her feelings about a story
she had sent him to read. Mr.. Morse
thinks that Mr.. Holmes owes his success
more TO his humor than anything else, for
he has never been known to preach. Mr..
Morse had an easel and paper and he
sketched various heads during the lecture
representing the characters about whom
DIR. Holmes talked while be was sitting
for his bust. The lecture was the last of
the course.

Within a short time there will be a re-
organization of the fire department. and
several heads will drop. The exact num-
Der is not definitely known. but some half
dozen or more will go. The Safety Board

bers of the department for about a month
past and their records are known. AS upon
the police force, this watching was with a
view to ascertaining the habits and char
acter Of the men and their efficiency in
service. It is likely that the question will
be taken up within a week or ten days
and several appointments made. MIR. Con-
ner said yesterday that he did not know
when the board would take up the question,
but that it intended beginning an investiga-
ton into the records of the men, He adj
mitted that this had been done to a cer-
tain extent for some time past, but said
no systematic watch has besn kept, al
