Talk was heard Of q meeting OF bank

thing came Of this. because 1t did not ap-
pear that anything could be done just
now, but II led to discussion as 10 the
advisability Of hnanciers banding togeth-

The objection made to such course
was that II foreigners wished to part
with American holdings there was no
reason why Americans should pay more
for them than was necessary II gold
in large volume was to be drawn away,
II was thought II ought to pay for Sc
curitles at the cheapest prices. The sus-

HIS FAMILY IN DISTRESS.
Grounds on Which a, Petition for
Fred kreuger's Pardon Is Based.

Governor Matthews was yesterday called
upon to consider a most peculiar applica-
tion for pardon. In the spring of 1892 the
carriage factory belonging to Bernd Broth
ers. on Morris street, was destroyed by fire.
Suspicion was at once directed to Fred
Kreuger, a German farmer living south of
the city. He tried and sentenced 10
five years Imprisonment. In addition to
three small children, a fourth was born to
Mrs. Kreuger shortly after her husbands
conviction. Besides this heavy burden,
Mrs. Kreuger's parents, both over eighty
years of age and helpless. were thrown
upon her hands to support. She had a fif-
teen-acre farm in Perry township, but ii
was heavily covered with mortgages She
went TO work and endeavored to keep the
children from starving but almost failed.
She appealed to the trustee of Perry town
ship. and was refused assistance. She has
worked in the field from daylight till dark,
and then attended TO her household
duties.
few days ago the last drop in the
bucket of sorrow came. Her only COW,
which had been the mainstay OF the chill
dren, died. She was then in condition of
almost utter hopelessncss- AT this time her
neighbors got together and decided that
they would see what could be done through

lated and signed by all the people of the
neighborhood and was presented to Gov.

THE STATE CENTENNIAL.
z. ID. MartindaIe Thinks 1t Should
Take Permanent Shape.

Z. B. Martindale and Eli Lilly, two of
the members for the State at large of the
State centennial commission, will issue a
thews, for a meeting of the commission
in this city, July 4. This commission is
composed of thirty members. four from
the Safe at large and two from each con-
gressional district. In making the APP
pointments Governor Matthews divided the
membership equally politically. The COM
mission created by act of the last
General Assembly, and has authority 10
devise a plan for the celebration of the
States Tooth anniversary of its organiza-
tion as a Territory, which will occur in
1900. The commission has no authority to
adopt plans but can only devise them
and make it's recommendation to the next
General Assembly. Mr.. Martindale thinks
the plans adopted should be for a perma-
nent exposition of the States progress and
that is seen and then becomes mere men,
DRY. He said yesterday, in an interview:
Il am opposed to spending money in
erecting a building or making a display
that is with us one day and is destroyed
the next. The people, 1 believe, are get
ting tired of these passing shows. With
the world fair fresh in the minds of all
the people, we could not think of making
a temporary display that would attract
much attention. The thing for. the State
TO do. is to establish permanent me-
mortal or centennial building in Indianapo-'
lis in which there shall be departments of
geology, agriculture, horticulture, mechan-
les the arts, etc. We should begin filling
these departments with the earliest prod
ucts of the Territory of Indiana. In time
they should be made representative of the
wonderful development of the State. This
building and these departments should be
made permanent. Ii should be understood
that everything contributed to the various

of what | have in mind The central

Garbage. 44
The Board of Works Yesterday heard ar

The Board of Works yesterday heard ar
gument from representatives of asphalt
companies for modification of the terms
OF contract relative to giving bond and
making a cash deposit guaranteeing the
work for five years. 1t is now required
that contractors for street raving give
bond for the proper performance OF the
work and deposit fund TO secure the
hve-year-peried of guaranty. The paving
companies ask that one or the other be
dispensed with, as one is sufficient. and
both add largely TO the cost Of contracts,
amounting to 10 cents square yard. The
guaranty companies make a high charge
for such risks. Mayor Denny, who was
present, stated<that. with responsible COM
panies. both forms of security are not es-
sential, and suggested that form of bond
might be required in such cases different
from others where the paving contract
called for brick and there was less respon-
sibility. The speakers for the companies
were A. w. Conduit and G.. A. Kenyon.

The assessment roll of the Hanway and

The city engineer reported adversely to
the vacation OF De Frees street, and the
board postponed the matter indefinitely.

The Board of Works cautioned John
Smith to the effect that he was not
sprinkling certain streets on the South
Side according to contract.
The bid of Henry T. Noting for sprink-
ling certain extra streets was rejected, the
bid being exorbitant. The other bids of
like character were accepted.

construction of a pipe sewer from fifteen
to eighteen inches in size in the first alley
north of buchanan street, from East to
Beatty street. s-.e,t

vertised for in the matter of the inn

the cause of the delay and requesting that

SHIPPERS INDIGNANT
RANK DISCRIMINATION IN RATES IN
FAVOR OF CHICAGO.
indianapolis People Think the Inter-
state-Commerce Act should be
Enforced or Repealed.

Grain shippers at Indianapolis and at
points west of here. who expected to be
benefited by the passage of the interstate
commerce act. are now much exercised over
the rate situation. Frederick Rush, one of
the largest shippers in this territory, ship
ping not only from indianapolis but numer-
Gus points west of here. states that there is
ample evidence that Chicago grain shippers
are getting cents per 100 pounds lower
rates TO the. seaboard and New England
points than does the Indianapolis shipper
central Illinois point, and il rs actually WHIP
ing out the business of the shipper south of
Chicago When the interState-cOmmerce act
was passed Indianapolis grain merchants
were handling 2i,000000 bushels of grain
year; now they are not handling one-third
that quantity, as Chicago, ten months out
or the twelve, has lower rate East than
the lines via Indianapolis will give and in
stead of helping out the small shipper by
its passage IL has crushed out the small
shipper and Is fast freezing out the larger.
The intention of the act was TO place all
shippers at all points, mileage considered,
on an equal basis as TO rates, while at the
present time the Indianapolis shipper and
one shipping from points west of here must
pay "a cents per 100 pounds to New Eng
land point, while the Chicago shipper pays
but IL cents. What shippers now want is
that the interstate-commerce act be re-
pealed or strictly enforced; II enforced, Chi
cago would not have the advantage in rate
