Place.

Indianapolis, Feb. AT o'clock

occupied the upper portion of the
house and below was saloon.

To Honor Eminent Men.

We might here in London follow with
profit the example of the Russians, who
are going to name one of the ST. Peters
burg streets after their late composer,
Tst:haikowSky. 1t would certainly be
better than dishonoring the dead With
statues which are an eyesore to the living.
The system of naming streets after prom
inent men would have the further adj
vantage of helping out our national want
of inventiveness in street nomenclature,
which is now and then rather inconven-
lent. If you tell a cabman at Charing
Gross 70 IL 6ye yom 10 Pnk e sT ne can
find Duke street: but the chances are
seven to one against its being the street
you want | know three Dean streets
and there are probably more Moreover,
the system [ am proposing would stimu-
late the demand for eminent men, and nj
crease the supply. We should require an
eminent man for every new street laid
out.-Pall Mall Budget.

spoke in opposition to the bill. No ade-
auate reason was given for the repeal
of the law. 1t had not yet been con-
tended that it had deprived a single
citizen of the right OF an opportunity
to vote.
Daniel DemocraD. of Virginia, said
the people by their candidates and
their platform appealed to the tri-
bunal of the people and the decree had
come that il should be repealed.
Frye followed and quoted from a
Virginia Democratic paper to show that
wholesale frauds had been committed
in Virginia recently. Frye defended
the character OF John Davenport chleI
supervisor of elections of New York.
II have the greatest respect for him, .
said he He is fearless and has shown
fidelity in Office that is rarely seen"
Turpie replied briefly to Frye, and
recited the charges against the char
acter of the men appointed by Daven-
port In Indiana, the men appointed
as deputy marshals were men who had
lost an eye or an arm or a finger; who
had lost their eyes in attempting to
force open a window and burglarize
houses; who had lost their arms and
fingers in steel traps and by attempts
at robbery and theft and crime.
Naughter)
In beginning his argument in favor
of the bill, Harris declared the state
ments of Chandler a few days ago in
regard to election frauds in Memphis
were unfounded. the courts having
found that no fraud had been COM
mitted- He opposed the federal cleo
ton law because it was an exercise of
power never before vested in Congress
by the Constitution of the United
States.
Daniel replied to the reference made
by Frye in regard to Virginia earlier
in the day and denied there had been
any wholesale election frauds in that
state.
At the close of Daniels speech, the
Senate adjourned.

with the Rai1roaders.

The Union Pacific passenger office
yesterday received a supply of large
birds-eye-view maps of the different
divisions of the great system. The
series of six maps are mounted on
three large cardboards one and one
half by three and one-half feet in
size and attached to each other. The
maps show the topography of the diff
ferent sections of country through
Which the Lne runs. Included in the
series are the Great Salt Lake basin
the Great Plains. the Texas Panhandle
the Columbia river and the Rocky
Mountain region. The publication is a
complete guide to the traveller.
The special car carrying the Chicago
newspaper men and artists who at
tended the opening of the Midwinter
fair and who are now on their return
trip east, will reach Salt Lake tbe
latter part of this week.

this time The most noticeable feature
was the degree to which lace and fur
are now mixed on one garment, especially
on those long-skirted coats, full below the
waist, and close-ftting above, that are
known as 'pelisses," One such at the
New Gallery was of black satin of the
most thick and lustrous variety and was
turned back from the shoulder TO the

sable the center of the coat between these
being plainly hooked down; the revers be-
came extremely wSde-,at the throat, and
were there faced with Venetian lace be
hind the sable edge. A hounce of the
same lace was put on as a falling collar,
going over the shoulder and making
epaulettes that were lost to view behind
the points of the revers. With this went
a fiat black velvet bonnet, with a bow of
white lace outstanding at the back, and
no more trimming.
In another smart garment there were
strips of the darkest skunk laid on a
black velvet skirt diagonally all around

basque of white satin, covered with black

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 6.--Van Ardel

of the Union Pacific, will present
petition Of over 100 typewriter pages
TO Judges Riner and Hallett in Denver

stated that the schedule could not be

tee The petition states that at varl-
Gus times prior TO the passage of the
road into the hands Of receivers, the
Union Pacific management attempted
to cut the salaries of the men without
success and the men now believe the
receivers were appointed for the eX-
press purpose of cutting their salaries.
The petitions attacks the right of
Judge Dundy to issue an order to re-
strain the men from meeting to dis
cusS whether they shall strike or not
The order is declared TO be an inva-
sion of the constitutional rights of
men, the enforcement of which would
make the work Of years in perfecting

IN RAILWAY CIRCLES.
TWO BIG EXCURSIONS TO THE
MIDWINTER FAIR.
A Meeting to Be Held at the Cham
Der of Commerce Tonight-some
Fine Maps.

A movement was started yesterday to
organize two excursions to San Fran
cisco from this city.
The first is to be Mississippi
congress special TO start next Friday
or Saturday The trans Mississippi
Congress meets in San Francisco next
Tuesday and remains in session four
days.
The trans Mississippi delegates ap-
pointed from Salt Lake are thirty
three in number as follows:
Appointed by Governor West-Major
H C. Hill, B. T. Montgomery, w. p.
Hubbard and A. G. Norrell, Salt Lake;
Moses Thatcher, Logan; T. E. Fitzger-
aid, R. L. Rogers, Ogden; A. D. Cash
George Havercamp, Provo; Charles
Crane, Kanosh.
BY the chamber of commerce-O. j.
Salisbury, ]. H. Bacon, G. M. Scott,
W. S. Mccormick, George Y. Wallace,
NJ. j. Gray, A. H. Cannon, c. 0. Whit
temore F. w. Ross, W. H. Gunner
L. C. Crossman. D. c. Adams and
President w. H. Rowe. 1t is expected
that Governor West will appoint his
delegates in a day or two.
By Mayor Baskin-John W. Donnel-
Ian, J. M. Stout, John Henry Smith,
F. S. Richards. Frank w. Jennings,
James K Gillespie, Hyrum Clawson,
G. w. Bennett, A, H. Cannon and
George A. Lowe.
Most of these delegates have pro-
missed to attend, but the number will
probably be reduced to twenty-five. A
majority of the delegates will likely
be accompanied by members of their
family, and with others who intend to
visit the midwinter fair, it is thought
that the number will justify the en-
gagement of two special Pullman
Isleepers. If the expected number make
the trip, special rate of about $l5
round trip will be secured from the
Southern Pacific The Rio Grande
Western will carry the Salt Lakers
| to Ogden free of charge, and the larger
the delegation the better pleased that
lines mana cement will be.
The other excursion, and the one to
be the largest of the season, will go
to the Midwinter fair to be persent on
Utah day. This territory has not yet
had a special day set apart by the
Midwinter fair for her own benefit and
honor, but after the Utah exhibit, which
| is to be shipped at once, is installed,
the local executive committee will ask
to be given a date to be called Utah
day at the Midwinter show.
The chamber of commerce, the rail-
iOcllIS c1IIO llC u1IuWlulCI GACCullNS COiH-
mittee will cooperate to send a large
and representative delegation to San
Francisco. A train is to be chartered
over the Southern Pacific, and spec
Tally low rate, at least SIS for the
round trip from Salt Lake, is assured
by the railroad officials, if the excursion
which they confidently expect to sue
cessfully organize, is worked up.
A MEETING TONIGHT.
All the above Trans-Nississipp dele
gates will meet at he chamber of COM
merce tonight for the purpose of elect
ling a chairman and secretary and other
wise organizing for the congress at
San Francisco. At this meeting the
subject of organizing the excursion for
the delegation will also be discussed.
All delegates are urged to be present
or to send information as to whether
they will attend the San Francisco
meeting or not
