DISMISSED WIFE A REPRIMAND::-
Another little girl was in the Police
Court this morning charged with re- re,
moving flowers from grave. 1t VIII
be remembered that young girl was
arrested yesterday on similar charge,
and in her statement she implicated
companion-the child arrested
this morning. The latter assert
ed that she found the flowers, and as
there were no witnesses in the case and
no testimony outside of the statements
of th children, the Mayor decided to
dismiss the accused with reprlmand.
In doing so ne positively assured them
and all present that should another
case of this nature come before him he
would exact the full penalty of the law.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In a morning paper. under the heading
1.-THE Telephone Situation" it is stated that
the proposition Of the Central Union Tel
ephone Company is considered a favorable
one. Now, 1t is a question whether it is
as favorable as at first sight it might seem.
In the first place, their willingness to place
their wires under ground is no concession
at all, because the city has the right to
insist that such wires be placed under
ground, and the Board of Public Works
recognize the necessity for so placing
wires, as is being done in most of the
large cities. Overhead wires interfere with
the fire department, often very seriously.
and it is on all sides admitted that such
wires are an unsightly nuisance. AS for
the alleged concession Of a free modern
police telephone system and fire alarm tel
egraph, l wish to say that when such
service is viewed as a consideration for
the immensely valuable franchise, which
Is soon to be granted, and which means
thousands upon thousands of dollars to the
We nave now about twelve police patrol
boxes, which, according to the last ap-
preparation for telephone expenses, cost
per annum. AS most of the fire alarm wires
are strung upon poles already erected, the
whole fire alarm service al be main
tanned in connection with the telephone
system at a minimum cost to the telephone
company. 30 that the offer of free police
patrol telephones and fire alarm telegraph
10 absurdly inadequate as a return for the
very valuable privileges asked for. These
privileges place 1t In the power Of the
telephone company not only to maintain
the present extorti0nate rate for service,
but to increase such rate whenever the
company might wish to do so. Very few OF
our business men are in any way inter-
ested in the Chicago company, and 1T is
to be hoped that the Board of Public
talk of their advocates.
The Board Of Public Works, however.
will not forget in it's deliberations that
the Phoenix Telephone Company, made up
of business men and capitalists of Indian
apolis, agrees to do all that the Central
Union promises, and will, besides, pay into
the treasury OF the city $1.Oo0 per month
and a certain percentage of the gross
earnings, and at the same time give the
people excellent telephone service at a
much more reasonable rate than is now
demanded by the Central Union. The pub
&c has never been given the benefit. by
this company, of the reduced cost of MAIN
tanning a telephone exchange resulting
from the expiration Of patents and the
dropping of Of royalties, and II seems to
me that W. can only hope for relief from
ished at the very little agitation that this
very important subject has received
hitherto, as ii Is one of vital Importance
not only for the present, but for years to
come. / hope 1t will receive the most care
full consideration of the honorable gentle
men who are to actin the matter.
