A LOVING TWAIN SEPARATED.
Judge Cox Sends Prospective Bride
and Groom Il WorkhOuse.

Judge Cox Sends Prospective Bride
and Groom to workhouse.
Onus Williams and Lulu Mitchell were
in Police Court yesterday morning charged
with living contrary to the law of the
State. The young man is but eighteen
years of age and it was at the instance
Of his mother, a highly respectable-looking
woman, that the arrest was made. 1t is
shown that the woman in the case is a
very bad woman, several years the senior
OF the young man, and the mothers fears
were not g~roundless. The young man
seemed perfectly infatuated with the wom-
an, who is very ordinary looking, and
whose reputation is not the best. She has
been in court several times and each time
in court has resulted in a. sentence in the
workhOuSe.
II like her." said the young man, 81

HE loves me and loves him." said the
woman. II am no bad girl. This is all
a set up job. for no one ever said anything
bad about me. He loves me, that is, every
body says he does and he says so, and we
were going to get married. for he asked

Judge Cox expressed the belief that Lulu
Mitchell was a foe TO society and ii would
be well If she and young Williams could
be separated. She was fined $S and sem
fenced to the ~workhouse for thirty days
and he was fined so and given ten days.
r. b.. Kitchens, colored, was before the
court charged with drawing deadly
weapons, assault and battery and drunken
ness. 1t developed in the trial that last
Saturday evening Kitchens came home
drunk, got tangled up in the clothesline
and beat his horse to get even. His
wife suggested he might pound the stable,
whereat he became angry and entered his
home with a whoop. He kicked over the
stove, setting fire 10 the house. Then he
picked up an ak and began on his wife.
1t also developed during the trial hat Mrs.
Kitchens is chiefly dependent upon the
lowed him to escape with a fine of s. and
a five days sentence.

CONSUMERS TRUST DIRECTORS.
Those Elected Yesterday-Decrease i'm
the Gas Pressure.

The trustees of the Consumers Gas Trust
company met in annual session yesterday
and reelected the following directors:
Fred Fahnley. r. n. Lamb, Eli Lilly, John
p. Frenzel, Charles w. Fairbanks, A.. A.
Barnes, Henry coburn and julius +.
Pratt. On account of the death of John
VI. Butler there was a vacancy on the
board of trustees. and Hugh H. Hanna was
taken from the board Of directors and
elected to this position. Appropriate reso-
lutions in regard to the death of Mr.. But
Ter were adopted.
During the meeting the trustees discussed
many phases of the company's business.
The pressure in the pipe line was the prin-
cipal one. TIL records show that this has
fallen from 25 pounds in the field to 200
pounds within the year under the same
conditions and temperature. At the city
limits the pressure has fallen off one-half
In the same time, it Is claimed. During the
last year the company has drilled fourteen
new wells, which, it Is understood, have
been turned into the pipe line, and these
records include whatever additional pres
sure these wells may have added. The
trustees think the earthquake has had no
effect on the pressure in the lines. One
matter of serious moment discussed Is the
falling off in revenue caused by the low
pressure OF gas.

Keepfur the s,r.et. cream.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
You suggested on Sunday that the women
might have boxes provided in the streets
as receptacles for filth. ! wonder you do
not know that such boxes have been aban-
doned years ago In all the clean capitals
OF the world. Nothing so SPOTS the looks
OF a town as boxes of filth. We nave them
already in alleys, where they are masses
or r~ottenness, never cleansed to a per-
ceptible degree. Last year benevolent
wiseacres thought they were doing good by
putting such boxes in parks, thereby ruin
Ing the little neatness of appearance of
our parks. Our women are strangely re-
miss In their part of keeping the streets
clean, namely, in teaching their households
to throw absolutely nothing into streets
and alleys. 1t Is a low race n q low
grade Of civilization that throws dirt into
streets. Every other store In this city
sweeps its filth into the street. every office
building, every dressmaking establishment,
every dancing school, every club, and nine
houses out of ten throw sweepings and re-
fuse into our streets. The Public Library
sidewalk Is a sight to behold with dirty
papers and spit, the Columbia Club and
water works office. n a clothing store
on North Meridian street, / forget it's
name. must. be Old HENS himself, fill
Monument place with a whirlwind Of sweep
ings, no matter how much the city cleans
ii. and yet the police have mildly admon-
ished these people on the subject. None
but very .low-bred people will eat in the
street and throw peanut shells and banana
peels about, or read letters in the street
and throw them or other paper about. 1t
Is against the law to do such things. or
even to drop dirty fluids. like tobacco spit,
in the street. In Rome, under the Caesars,
any one h spat in the street was ar
rested. There is but one way of keeping
our streets clean, and that is by refining
our people. Vulgarians delight in spit and
dirty behavior. Our market would be clean
IL our people were not contented with a
dirty market. Our streets would show no
~sweepings IL our people were refined.

SUPREME LODGE RESPONSIBLE.
G~uarantOr OF the II. OF p. Endowment
Rank Insurance Policies.

TIL Appellate Court yesterday decided
that the Supreme Lodge of the knights of
Pythias Of the World is responsible for the
death claims against the endowment rank
of the order. In September, 1891, Robert D..
Edwards made ar application TO the endow-
ment ran for life insurance. He died Dec.
26. 1891, Just one week after his certificate
of insurance had been issued, Of hem
orrhage of the lungs. Tine endowment rank
refused to pay the claim. setting up
the defense that the insurance was OBJ
tanned through, mfsstatenqents in the appli-
cation. 1t developed in the certificate Of
death that Edwards had suffered from
asthma for over twenty years, and the
death was caused by bursting a blood vessel
during a spell of coughing.
The lower court rendered judgment
against the order and 1t was appealed to
the Appellate Court, which, in ruling on a.
certain claim of the Supreme Lodge that it
was not responsible for the doings of the
endowment rank. held that nasmuch as
the endowment rank Is fostered by and
controlled by the Supreme Lodge, the
higher body is responsible to the people for
the faithful performance of all contracts.
The judgment Of the lower court was sus-
tanned.

HIS LAMP WAS FILLED.
1t Was Not Lighted, HOwever-The
Bicyclist Discharged.

The bicycle ordinance was brought to the
attention of Police Judge Cox for a second
time yesterday. Albert Dickey was in court
charged with violating the ordinance. by
not carrying a lighted lamp. 1t was shown
that the lamp which Dickey carried on
his machine was filed with oil, the wick
trimmed, but there was no light. PATROL
man Mahoney made. the arrest Monday
night. Mr.. Dickey took the stand and tes-
titled he had lighted his lamp three times
while on his way home. that il was a
good lamp. but for some unknown reason
would not burn on the night mentioned,
that the wick was trimmed. that the oil
can was filled and he had no intent to
violate the law, but on the other hand
had done all within his power to obey it.
Judge Cox dismissed the case, holding that
as the lamp was filed and well trimmed
1t could not be shown that Mr.. Dickey
fagrantly violated the ordinance.

Jason Douglass visited the City Dispensary
yesterday morning in an excited state of
mind. He said that while standing on the
corner OF Meridian and McCarty streets q
man came up and asked for the loan of a
ear fare. Douglass produced a wallet con-
tanning nineteen dollars, and while he was
hunting for a nickel the man stabbed him
in the leg, grabbed the money and fled.
The dispensary physicians examined Doug
lass and found a cut in his leg that looked
like a knife thrust. The wound was
stitched up and Douglass started to Police
Court to get a warrant for his assailant.
