RETROSPECTIVE,

When congress convened on the 9TH
of August, 1898, within the democratic
party there were two opposing factions.
The one placing a broad and liberal
construction on the Chicago platform,
declared in favor of free and unlimited
coinage of silver. This faction branded
and justly so, the attempt to uncondi-
tionally repeal the Sherman law as only
an advance step towards the demoneti-
cation of silver. They fought vigorously
to place silver upon its constitutions
basis as a money metal. With history
that is the most sacred, next to the voice
Of God, with the principles OF their
N1Hsthaix .s,de they went into the

INGERsoLL WILL NOT COME.
He Cannot Attend Mrs. Powers Fu-
neraI-Her Paper to Continue.

Colonel Robert Ingersoll will not attend
the funeral of Lulie Monroe Power, which
will be held at the late home, No. so Fayette
street, Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
reuben Power, husband of the deceased,
telegraphed the great agnostic asking him to
be present and to conduct the funeral serv-
ices of his WIFE, as the two had been great,
friends, but yesterday afternoon he received
a telegram in reply, stating that it would
be impossible for him to come to Indianap-
oils on account of the dates which he has
in the East where he is on an extended
lecture tour. DR.. Underwood, of Chicago.
has also answered that it will be next to
impossible for him to be present on account
of his lecture engagements. 1t is yet hoped
that DR.. F. j. Bowles, of Muncie. may be
present.
Mr.. Power stated last night that the Iron
wife was the editor, will be continued, al
though as yet he has made no definite plans.
He says he will not be the editor as he has
neither the inclination nor the ability to do
the work which his wife has carried on
alone for the last three years. The paper
was founded in 1855 by DIR. J.. r. Monroe,
and when he died three years ago, Mrs. Lulie
Monroe Power, his daughter, who had been
associated with him in it's publication, took
up the work where he let it fall. Mr..
Power says he has lost considerable money
in the publication, but as his wife had car
ried on the paper according to her fathers
wishes, he will have it continued out of re-
Spect to her wishes.

THE ESTIMATES APPROVED.
President MartindaIe Takes Water in
Training School Row.

There was a special meeting of the School
Board yesterday afternoon, at 5 O'Clock,
upon the call of President Martindale. The
latter, as chairman of. the Manual Train
ing School committee, submitted a written
report in which it was said the new build
ing has been completed according to con-
tact and that Wilson Brothers,, the arch
fleets, and Adolph Scherrer, the supervis-
ing architect, say that contractors have
complied with the specifications. Those
commissionersNwho opposed Mr.. Martindale
in his effort to have the final estimates
on the building approved Monday night
smiled when the report was made, for at the
Monday night meeting Mr.. M~artindale said
the committee win not report upon the
Manual Training School Building tonight
or any other night" After the reading of
the report of the committee Mr.. Martin
dale moved that all the papers concerning
the building be referred to the finance COM
mittee with instructions to report regard
ing the acceptance of the final estimates.
Mr.. Scott, as a member of the finance COM
mittee, offered some small objection, as
he said he thought the Manual Training
committee was trying to shift the response
bility of accepting the work to the finance
committee. Mr.. Martindale replied that the
board voted upon the adoption of the final
estimates and the Manual Training School
mmit had virtually approved the
work, so Mr.. Scott withdrew his objection
and signed a report asking that the final
estimates be allowed. The TINA voted
upon by the board aggregate about $1,000.
MIR. Blackledge amended the motion for
their acceptance by proposing that $4,000
of that amount be allowed. For his amend
ment Mr.. Blackledge said.
Il am satisfied that there is reason, good
reason, why all of the final aymen on the
building should not be allowed. If it is the
board has no protection and IL some of
the work is not correct the board is help
less"
Mr.. Loeper arose and said an explana-
ton was due the board from Mr.. Black
ledge, who had limited all was not well.
Mr.. Loeper remarked rather Sarcastically
that perhaps Mr.. Blackledge had '"over-
heard some matters on a street car" and
Blackledge to find any fault with the con-
struction of the Manual Training School
building. Mr.. Biackledge said he had not
spoken without reason and he explained
that he had visited the new building and
satisfied himself that the floors. in the
front corridors are not properly laid and
that the plastering has already commenced
to crack. Mr.. LoeDer felt called upon to
defend the work and he said Mr.. Blackledge
was mistaken about the floors and as to
the plastering, it was expected to crack on
all buildings. The final stimat passed,
with but one dissenting vote, that of Mr..
ance, explaining that he was doing so upon
the strength of the committees report.
The adoption of the estimates provides for
the payment of about $4,000 in cash to the
contractor, j.. G.. PierSon, and the
of about $45, 900 in notes.

THE JUDGMENT STANDS.
Steamboat Case Where n Passengers
Was Accidentally Killed.

Steamboat Case where n Passenger
Was Accidentally Killed.
The Supreme Court yesterday handed
down a decision in the case of the Memphis
and Cincinnati Packet Company against
Matte M. Pikey, Administrators of the
Estate of Charles Pikey, Deceased. The
case came up from Dearborn county, where
the appellee was given a judgment against
the packet company for $1,000 for neglect of
duty as a common carrier. Pikey had
boarded the vessel John K. Speed at Point
Pleasant, Mo, the nearest port to his home
in New Madrid, Mo-, with so,ne cattle or
stock, bound for Cincinnati. He overheard
a plot among the crew to kill the second
mate, named Charles Daugherty, and when
Daugherty went among the crew with a
revolver to intimidate them they attacked
him. He fired, but the bullet flew wide
and killed Pikey.
The Supreme Court found no error in the
record and affirmed the judgment. Judge
Monks wrote the opinion. The case was
only recently filed, and the early decision
was a matter of comment. The court is
catching up with the docket, with the as
~sistance of the Appellate Court.

phfs Packet Company.

Bynum. Brenton & Co, water works con-

$1,000 and the case has been sent to this
county on a change of venue. More than
a year ago the city of Lebanon contracted
with this firm for a complete water works
system to cost about $4,000, the contract re-
curing it to be completed by Sept. I, 1894.
1t was not completed for nearly sixty days
after that and on the final settlement the
city offered to make the payment after
deducting a stipulated forfeit for the fail
ure to complete the work according to the
contract. The firm refused the settlement,
claiming that the delay was caused. by the
negligence of the supervising engineer en-
ployed by the city to conduct the work. The
firm claims that his negligence in failure to
approve the work as completed delayed the
construction one hundred DAYS.

MR.. MLEAN MAY GO
REPORT THAT STREET CAR GEN.
ERAL MANAGER WILL LEAVE.
Wanted To Take Charge of n st. Louis
System-No Line to Garfield
Park.

1t was reported here last night that
Thomas H. Mclean, general manager of
the Citizens Street-railroad Company, will
soon leave this city and go to st. Louis
to take charge of a system of street rail-
road in that city. Mr.. Mclean stands
high among owners of transit companies
as a manage and It is not surprising that
he should be sought after by other cities.
He was brought here by the present own
ers of the Citizens company shortly after
they took control of it and has succeeded
in placing it at it's present standard of
efficiency. 1t was alleged when he came
here that he had been secured for the sole
purpose of breaking up the organization
which then existed among the employees
of the company. Whether that was the
purpose or not, it was noticed. that in a
short time some of those employees who had
been at all active in the organization were
replaced with others, and within a few
months there was no organization among
the employees. Personally Mr.. Mclean is

owners of the Citizens company, were in
the city yesterday and left for st. Louis
last night. Mr.. Mclean went with
them. President Mason in speaking of
the affairs of the company denied the
rumor that there were negotiations pend
ing by which Messrs. Werner and Mckee
expected to secure control of the Indian
apolis Electric Light and Power Company.
The rumor was also denied by G. G Perry,
who, with Mr.. Marmon, owns q controlling
interest in the light company. Mr.. Mason
also said there would be no extension of
q ctroaf car line f0 Ga rfiGld Park this wear.
1t was stated last winter by Mr.. Mckee
that a line would be extended to the park;
and that all that remained to be decided
was whether it should be the Shelby or
South Meridian street line.
