. THE MONUMENT.
Resolutions of the Union Soldiers,
Mutual League.

At the meeting of the Union Soldiers Mu-
tual League of Marion County, last evening.
the following resolutions, after a full dis
cussion, were adopted
Whereas, There have been statements in
public print that the present Legislature has
in view change in the management of
the State soldiers and sailors monument,
with the object of providing a place for one
man, with arbitrary powers, at large sal
airy, for many years; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Union Soldiers Mu-
tual League is unqualifedly opposed to any
proposition tending toward placing any and
all power into the hands of one citizen,
thereby prolonging the completion of the
monument and increasing the cost, and we
do hereby further resolve and petition that
commission except to fill vacancies by the
appointment of Union soldiers. We further
ask and petition that the present Legisla-
ture make such provision that no changes
shall be made in the inscriptions, dates,
ETC., now on the monument. We heartily
indorse the resolution recently adopted by
the commissioners to reduce their compensa-
ton to three days each month.
Resolved That we remember with graft
tude the services rendered by William II.
English in the matter of the war dates on
the monument, and we realize that he Is
now antagonized by the same influence that
opposed him them.
Department Commander Marsh, of the
Grand Army. who was present, was made
an honorary member of the league, and took
a part in the discussion. Major Mulky who
has been named in connection with the va
cancy ON the monument commission, as a
Mexican veteran was also a Union SOL
der through the war, fact which has not
been mentioned.

Notes of City Affairs.

The board has ordered an electric light
placed at the corner of Talbot avenue and
Fourteenth street.
Water mains have been ordered laid in
Bright street, from Washington to North
street. and in Ludlow avenue, from Hillside
to Valley drive.
Indiana avenue. from Illinois to West
street, to width of sixty feet, as soon
as pipe sewer can be laid.
There have not been many applications
for positions on the fire force filed at the
Office of the Board of Safety since the re-
cent experience Of the department..
There are half a dozen applicants for
the position of deputy city clerk, should
Tom Carter, the present deputy. be chosen
clerk to the State Board of Printing.
People do not seem at all alarmed about
Controller Trusler is uneasy for not one
third of the vehicles in the city have been
licensed.
Controller Trusler has given the dlspen-
its expenditures. He says at the present
rate the appropriation for that department
will not hold out.
William Milford assistant clerk in the
Department of Public Works, has decided
to not be candidate for the position of

w. H. English was about the city offices
yesterday getting signatures to a petition
asking that Woodruff Place be made part
of the city. Mr.. English says he has pc
tition long enough to reach clear around the
little town, which has given him SO much
trouble.
The peddling ordinance prohibiting ped
ding on downtown streets, will probably
be revived in the Council. The business
men of Washington street are demanding
some legislation to control the banana
trade. In the revised ordinance Washington
street may be the only prohibited street.
The commission appointed to revise the
ordinances of the city has completed its
work, and the result is ready for publica-
ton. but 1t will not be printed until the
anv amendments which that body may
make to the charter. The ordinances are
so arranged and classified that they can be
found readily.

FRAUD is CHARGED
GRACE PATTON's ATTORNEY MAKES
SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS.
Charges Her Former Attorney and NJ.
H.. Spades with 'Conspiracy-The
Attorneys Deny the Charge.

Attorneys Cox, Cox e Rockford, repre-
senting Grace Patton in her suit against
NJ. III. Spades, have filed answer to the
defendants plea that the matter was adju-
dictated before Justice Appel, of Lawrence
township In the justice court the plaintiff
secured damages in the sum of s17o from the
defendant, who was known in the case
as Henry Spaeths. 1t is alleged in the an
swer of the plaintiff that she had a cause
of action, but by reason Of her youth and
inexperience she did not know how to get
her just rights. 1t is averred that she
visited attorney H. " Rocker, who in
formed her that he would get some money
for her from the defendant. July 1, the
answer alleges she was paid 500 by Mr..
Rocker. She declares that she was ignorant
of the action in court on her behalf and
says she did not authorize attorney Rock
err to file complaint in his own name with
Justice Appel. It is alleged that the pro-
ceedings before were ''had and taken to
cheat and defraud plaintiff" The charge
is made that said Rocker and said Spades"
procured the alleged judgment in the sole
interest of Mr.. Spades. 1t is asserted that
the was taken to an out township for
the purpose of concealng the same from
the plaintiff. Attorney Rocker denies all
of the allegations set up by the plaintiff
attorneys.
.The original papers in the case said
Mr.. Rocker, show that the girl made a
verification TO the complaint; she signed
it and was sworn. In that complaint she
charges that her cause of action accrued in
October, 1893, and in the present action she
charges that it accrued in March, 1894 The
acceptance in the case was subscribed to
by her as disclosed by the original papers.
The money that she received was not paid
by me, but paid in my office and her
signature to the receipt was attested by
my secretary and law student. l was not
present at all. The receipt taken at my
office gives a full recital of all the pro-
ceedings and contains a statement of the
terms of the compromise such as she di-
recfed me to masa''

DIFFERENCES ARE SETTLED.
Citizens and Broad Ripple Conn
MES Reach an Agreement


Yesterday afternoon it was announced at
the office of the Board of Works that the
hearing of the petition of the Broad Rim
pie Rapid Transit Company had been indef-
nitey postponed and the board would hear
no more arguments upon the matter Mr..
Hoiton said he understood the Broad Ripple
company and the Citizens company had
reached an understanding, at least that is
the way he construed the announcement of
the postponement made by President Mason,
of the Citizens company. The latter gem
tleman to appear before the board yes
terday afternoon and argue reasons why the
new company should not be granted fran
chise Instead of coming he called up by
telephone and laughingly said there was no
reason for further elaboration.
The two companies reached an under
standing late yesterday afternoon. but when
Mr.. Mason made the announcement to the
board it was pretty we'll understood that
there was TO be an agreement The Citi-
Zens' company is to allow the ripple COM
pany the use of it's tracks into the city
What the new company is 10 pay for the
privilege is not made public. The fare from
Broad Ripple to the city will be 10 cents
who believe the Ripple company is a scheme
of the Citizens and that the agita ton over
a franchise was all for effect point to the
understanding point in favor of their
opinion. They recall the fact that the Rip
Pile company has been using the Citizens
tracks and power all the dime. but the
wisest do not try to explain the motive
the Citizens could have in making such a
move.
The common belief Is that the Citizens
company made a proposition to the Ripple
company for the purpose of putting stop
to the agitation goins ON for . new suburban.

NEW INSPECTION SCHEME.
Committee of Citizens to Guard tn,
Interest of Each Street.

Committee of Citizens to Guard the
Interest of Each Street.
1t is not known who is the author but
there is a new scheme being discussed for
the inspecting OF street cleaning and sprink-
ling the coming season. A number of coun-
cilmen have considered the proposition, and
a number of them think the plan would give
a great deal more satisfaction than the
present way. The plan is TO appoint a
committee OF three on each contract, who
shall act as inspectors. This committee is
supposed to be inspired bySpublic spirit. and
it is not proposed that they shall work for
any mercenary motives. 1t is proposed to
have the members of each inspecting COM
mittee TO look after the work done on one
street. and, if 1t Is not satisfactory, TO re-
port the same to the Board of Works. A
great many property holders took an active
interest in the work last year. and those
who favor the scheme think it would be
no trouble TO find committees on every
street in town. This manner would do away
with the position of sprinlxling inspector,
and save the city about $50 month, be-
sides assuring better kept streets. There is
a serious doubt however, of the scheme
ever being carried cut
