SEYMOUR. Ind. July t3.-The scathing
public rebuke administered by Congress
man Jason B. Brown before the Demo-
cratic congressional convention at North
Vernon yesterday to the men who sue
ceeded by false representations in defeat
ing him for denomination voices almost the
universal expression of his constituents
in this count The convention has
widened the breach between the Brown
and Stockslager factions, nor will time or
the party lash be capable of healing the
Wounds that have been inflicted. The
Democratic party of Jackson county has
stood by Brown through thick and thin,
and Brown has stood by the party. He
has been one of the leading campaign
orators in the State for years. and never
refused to aid them when called on. The
Democracy CT this county is attached TO
Brown for his loyalty to his friends and
to his party. The contrast between the
Brown and Stocklager delegates was very
striking. Most of the latter's delegates
were made up of men who wanted office,
but failed to get it, and Brown seeing
them when he began his remarkable
speech, poured hot shot into them. Hon.
inee, was also in attendance and witnessed
the fun. He came to this city on the
same train with the Brown delegates, and
many pledged him their support. The
methods used in turning down Brown will
give Stocklager the distinguished honor of
being the first Democratic candidate to be
defeated in the Third district in the past

PEPPER in THE BOX

The Winning Habit Appears to Have

MIR. Sharsfg's Team.

Mr.. Pepper was In the box yesterday,
but when Manning's men attempted to turn
IL upside down and knock him out after
tile manner Of the boarder when baked po-
tatoes are served. they failed. Indianapolis
went to bat first with Darby and Donohue
as the visitors battery. Darby opened the
proceedings by sending two men TO bases
on balls. After this, loose fielding enabled
the home team to bat clear around, max
ing five runs-a lead that was never over
come. Manning came TO bat and flew out
to Dalrymple. Nicholl was forced out at
second and Klusman was given a base on
balls, only to be forced out at second on
Boards hit to Mills. This would probably
have been the story of every inning, had
not a rain come up from the northwest,
giving Pepper a wet ball to pitch in the
fourth inning. His effective curves, ad-
mitted by all 10 be as speedy as any seen
here this season. had 20 give way to a
straight ball, on which the visitors landed
quite freely. After two men were out and
Niles had reached second on a base on
balls and a sacrifice hit, Darby smashed the
ball to left field and brought in the first
run for Kansas City. An instant later the
rain began to pour and Kerins called time.
After a ten-minute wait the men were or
dered to the field and it began to drizzle.
Manning hit the ball to left field, and time
was again called for the Shove to pass
over. Once more the men were sent to
play but only two balls were pitched to
Nicholl when the third stoppage on ac-
count of rain occurred. 1t was nearly 6
o'clock before the clouds showed signs of
breaking and the game was resumed for
the fourth time. Nichol got a two-base
hit and Hernon a single, scoring two more
runs. The side was joyfully retired by
Klusman's long fly to Henry.
Indianapolis continued its batting streak
in the second inning. Mccarthy, Gray,
Motz and Mills all hitting safely. the first
three scoring. Following the series of
showers indianapolis came to bat in the
fifth inning and added two more to their
score on hits by Mccarthy, Henry and
Motz. the last being a double after two
men were out. n neat double play by
Westlake and Shields ended the fifth inn

visitors were retired by two thrilling plays
on the part of Motz. Donohue reached
first on a hit and was doubled up by Motz,
who caught Darby's line drive. Manning
then hit viciously to Motz, ending the game.
1t was nearly Z o'clock and the visitors de-

struggle longer and agreed to have Kerins

COMPETING WITH THE MOON.
Electric Light Company Has Been
Making "a Few Concessions.


Within a few days the Board Of Public
Works will order a number of changes in
the location of electric lights in the city.
and will discontinue a number Of vapor
lamps. For several days it has been going
over the report of Thomas Tallentire upon
the location and advisable changes TO be
made, and will act upon it probably on
Monday.
Mr.. Charles Perry, OF the electric light
company, called upon Mayor Denny yes
terday and had a talk with him about the
lighting of the city. There had been some
vigorous protests against the moonlight
schedule, and the company was accused of
taking advantage of the schedule TO cut
off lights when they should be lighted. Mr..
Perry said that for thirty days past the
company had turned on the lights a half
hour before they were required TO, and had
instructed their man at the power-house
to turn on the lights on all nights when
IL was cloudy or there was any indication
that it would be cloudy, without waiting
for notice from the tower Waterman TO
the company had turned on the lights
under a new moon until the moon was four
days old, although. according to the pro-
visions of the contract, they were permit
ted TO shut off the lights under the new
moon.
Mayor Denny says that Indianapolis
considering the number of street crossings,
Is the best lighted city in the country SO
far as electric lights are concerned.

One element in bringing Debs and his
American Railway Union to their present
dictatorial attitude is not clearly under
stood in the East. 1t will be remembered
that a strike occurred on the Great North
ern railroad a few weeks ago and was
amicably settled through the efforts OF a
committee of st. Paul and Minneapolis
business men. An incident which followed
this settlement did not attract the atten-
ton which il deserved. The president OF
the railroad held that it was not bound
10 reinstate in its employ men who were
found guilty of any criminal offense
against the United States. who had ma
liciously injured the company's property or
who had placed the lives Of passengers or
the property of the company in danger by

mitted TO the arbitrators, who decided that
the agreement bound the road 10 reinstate
and pay men then under arrest and await
ing trial on the charge of malicious de-
struction OF property, men who had in
terfered with the running of trains and
men who had abandoned trains in mac
cesSible places. This was the same thing
as saying that the railroad could exers
no discipline over its employees, and IL
was entirely natural that Debs should
think himself warranted I'm ordering rail-
roads not 10 run Punman cars when a
of business men in St Paul and
