A CITY OF 10000.
These Are the Figures ms shown by
the Recent Mail Carriers Census.

After two weeks hard work by the post
men Of this city Postmaster Sahm
has figured that the city now has a pop
ulation OF nearly $4,000. The mail carriers
serve ISL 500 people. firms and corporations.
or this rumber about 400 are in West
indianapolis and 10000 are doubles that
IL. are firms or corporations or business
men that receive mail at their places OF
business and at their residences. too. This
reduces the actual number OF individuals
served TO 1906. IL is also estimated that
there are at all times 5000 nonresldents In
the city that receive mail. This reduces
the number still further. To this Mr.. Sahm
adds 1000. the estimated population of the
recently annexed territory that Is not now
served by the carriers. and $1,000 for chill
dren who do not receive mail matter. This
makes the total poulation 1S5. 06. not includ-
ing the people in any OF the suburbs, which.
IL added. would make the entire popula-
ton of the city and suburbs at least zoo
0o. In making this estimate Mr.. Sahm has
made deductions for Inaccuracies. The pur-
pose OF IL is 10 support the claims of this
Office for six more carriers. There are now
"A. but on the basis Of other cities. which
allows an average OF 1850 people to the
carrier. the city wuld be entitled TO 92 car
riers. One year ago a like census was
taken. which showed there were at that
time 49, 900 people in the city that received
mail. This shows an increase OF 1000 a
year. This increase Is also plainly no
ficeable IN the receipts OF the Office.

M'LEOD'S GREAT VICTORY.
Gains Three Falls from Baptiste I'm
Less thnn a Half Hour.

Those who saw Dan Mcleod, of San
Francisco. throw George Baptiste, of ST.
Louis, three times in twenty-five and one
half minutes last night. at English's OPP
era House, saw one of the p~rettiest wrest-
ling matches that has ever taken place in
this city. The match was for 500 a side,
the winner to take all the receipts. The
conditions of the match were that Mcleod
was TO throw Baptiste three times within
an hour, no time To be allowed between
falls. The rolling fall and strange hold
was barred.
There was a large crowd in attendance.
as it was thought Mcleod would have a
harder fight than he had ever had in this
city. There was little betting, as neither
side offered much money. Prof. A. Mols
was chosen referee and W. III. Watkins
time keeper. When the two men stepped
on TO the mat at $50 O'Clock, ii appeared
but the weights of the men were given as
1861 pounds for Mcleod n l54 for Bap-
tiste. When time was called Mcleod went
after his opponent in his usually aggressive
style, but had not been on the mat a min
ute before he arose and called to his sec

resorted to, and he called for Baptiste to

was then continued, and after fifteen min

showed on Bapsiste, and his arm was final

vincible arm-and-body hold, Mcleod slowl
forced Baptiste's shoulders to the mat in
201a seconds. Less than a minute was spent
in rubbing the men down, and in just half
ond bout, Baptiste's shoulders were again
resting on the mat, Mcleod having quickly
gained the same hold with which he threw
him the first time. Almost the same thing
was repeated in the beginning of the third
bout, but Baptiste by a powerful effort
spun out OF his opponents hold. For less
than a minute Baptiste played the agrees

matters were discussed. and before adj

purposes part of the money will be Invested
in land. Several pieces of real estate were
discussed yesterday. but nothing definite
was accomplished.
For several days the commissioners have
had in mind a lot of wooded land in the

the river makes the bend at the ripple
there is a prettily wooded spot OF about
fifty acres, ten acres of which belong to

THE CHICKAMAUGA FIELD.
Col. Cockrum Tells of the Preparation
for the Dedication.

W.. NJ. Cockrum. who Is representing the
Indiana Chickamauga commission on the
old battlefield, writes an interesting letter
from the historical place.
1.-THE national commissioners are making
great preparations for the coming dedica-
ton in September" he says, land nothing
will be left undone to make the dedication
of these grounds the greatest military event
since the close OF the war. Major Gageby,
OF the Twelfth United States regulars. is
here laying out camps. and is ready TO make
assignments to all organized military bodies.
This includes the State militia as we'll as
the veteran organizations of both armies.
All applications made by such organizations
will have camps assigned them, and a sup
ply of wood will! be, placed at their dis
posal free. This will convince those who
may wish to take part in the dedication and
enjoy the splendid scenery OF this beauti-
full battlefield that they can easily put
themselves In shape to do so by banding to-
gether, secure their tents and commissary
stores and bring them here as baggage. The
commissioners OF the different States are
working earnestly TO put their organiza-
tons in the best possible condition, and by
the middle of September everything will be
in splendid order. All Of the monuments
will not have been erected by that date,
but the work will be SO far advanced that
all can see that this beautiful park is to be
the grandest and most historical OF it's kind
in the world. Michigan and Wisconsin are
now putting up their monuments. Missouri

have the monument up in time. The stone

PLEA OF MIR. BROOKS
PENNSYLVANIA COMPANY REPRE-
SENTATIVE TALKS.
Thinks His Company Is Being Robbed
by the State by T~axafion-Has Lit
tie Hope of "a Reduction.

The State Tax commission yesterday lis
tened to James t. Brooks, second
vice president and general counsel
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, in regard to the assess
ment OF that company. He began by euio-
giving the board to some extent and compli-
mented II upon its manner Of standing for
what II believes to be right. He said 1t
was not the case with all tax boards; that
some of them were willing for a per cent.
to place the valuation at most any figure.
He argued that the cost of railroad prop
erty or the amount OF outstanding stock
and bonds Is not a true criterion OF its
value. He then cited the history OF the r.,
c., C. & St. L. road TO show that much OF
IL was built at a time when labor and ma
terial cost twice as much as il does now.
and, consequently. 1t could be replaced for
less than the company's books show IL 10
have cost. He then went into the market
value of securities, and stated that, while
the /. & V. stock Is now rated above par.
the company in none of its twenty years OF
existence has come within 10000 OF pay
ing the interest on its bonds. The reason
of this. he said, is that the Pennsylvania
Company has guaranteed the bonds of the
/. & ", and the interest will be paid
whether earned or not.
The assessed valuation OF the Pennsyl-
vania Company's property in this State Is
a little more than SEQ 900. the taxes on
which, Mr.. Brooks claimed, consumed be-
tween ) and 6 per cent. Of the gross earn
ings in the State. Mr.. Brooks said that
the directors Of the company could see no
hope for the future in the way of a divi-
dend from the property In this State with
its present burden of taxation. Extensions
within this State were out of the question,
he said, as long as the present mode OF
taxation was in vogue.
He then spent considerable time In a
comparative statement OF the assessed val
uation of railroad and other property in
this State. He thought that, while railroad
property Is assessed at its full value, other
property escaped with an assessment OF
not more than 50 per cent. If all property
were assessed at its full value. he said.
railroad companies in regard to their as
He then closed with the sug-
gestion that a company's earnings should
be the basis for taxation, and suggested
that, with the assistance of the Legisla-
ture, the companies could be required to
furnish each year sworn statements of
their gross earnings, with the items of ex-
pense. for the purpose of assessing for
taxation He thought that when the roads
have a prosperous year they would be
willing to pay high taxes. The present
valuation of the road was fixed in 1891, ex-
cept that since then there have been a few
small concessions on some OF its branches.
before the board at all this year except
that he was a strong believer in persever-
ance. and thought repeated onslaughts on
the board might finally have some effect.

MORE POLITICAL LEGISLATION.
Suit to. Test the Recent Apportion-
ment Soon to he Filed.

1t is expected that within a few days the
Democratic State central committee will
file a suit to set aside the legislative appor-
tionment made by the recent General As
sembly. 1t is believed that the case will
first come to light in vigo county, where
senator VOORHEES, and boss Crawford Fair
banks live. The name OF the plaintiff has
not yet been announced; 1t is hoped that
the case may reach a decision by the Su-
preme Court before Jan. /. The ground OF
the complaint will be that the apportion-
1895 was not a multiple of the slx-year pc
riod in which the Constitution prescribes the
apportionment shall be made. The Indiana
Senator'S will share in the prosecution of the
suit.
Jason B.. Brown, who is one of the attor-
neys in the apportionment suit to be
brought by the Democrats, is at the Grand.
