Mr.. BRYAN's oratoElcal powers rea
not marked by great versatility. 1t
has been shown already that his speech
which carried the Chicago convention
off its feet and made him the nominee
for president was mainly one which he
bad delivered a week earlier in joint
debate. He detained it in the con-
vention as a spontaneous burst of pure
elcquence, but the body of it in the
closing passage, with Its crown OF
thorns and cross of gold, had been de
livered only few days before to an
other audience. Now it appears that
even this first audience had it second
hand, for he closed speech December
p, 1884, in the opposition to bill e1-
empting the notes OF States banks from
taxation, as follows:
81, for one, will not yield to the de-
mand. | will not help to cruelty man.
kind upon a cross of gold. will not
aid them TO press down upon the
DIc6OlDk OIOH VI ldbOE luO CIOhn VI
thorne." Possibly this was not its first
appearance. Whenever the Boy Or
stor of the Platte gets under the spell
of his own eloquence the crown Of
thorns and cross of gold roll irresistibly
from his tongue. For an orator in bis
line of business the two figures are per-
feet. No body can tell what he means
by them, but they are sonorous in de-
livery and have biblical flavor which
gives them the aspect of true prophecy.
When shouted forth by man with
waving hair and upturned eyes they
strike everybody who is dissatisfied
with the way the world is moving as
the very soul of eloquence.

OyERHAULING PREMIER PLANT.
The Wheels VIII Move I'm About Nine
ty Days.

The deal whereby the American .tin-plate
works, of Elwood, and the American wire
nail works, of Anderson, were to secure con-
troll of the Premier steel-works plant, in this
city, has been copsummated and possession
Of the plant has been practically delivered
by receiver McGettigan., 1t will be two or
three months before the manufacture Of steel
billets will commence. c. G. Carney, the
superintendent, is supervising the work of
repairing and inspecting the entire plant
1t has been three years since any work was
done and the machinery will have to be
carefully inspected and repaired before Il
will be in a safe condition to use. Most of
the buildings will need extensive repairs.
Mr.. Garvey said yesterday that it is i'm
possible to say just when the plant will be-
gin operations. but he thought all repairs
could be completed within the next ninety
days. The report that the mills would be re-
opened has caused great many men TO ap-
ply for work, and Superintendent Carney
found IL necessary to put up card the
door announcing that no help is wanted at
present The plans for the reopening Of the
steel mills contemplate the employment of
about one thousand men. Many skillful iron
workers who have been obliged to turn to
other employment since the mills were
closed down hope to get work at their old
employment.

JOHN MAURICE BUTLER's FUNERAL


The funeral of John Maurice Butler will
occur this afternoon. at $50. at his late
home. The burial will be private. The In
dianapolis Choral Union has rendered its
services for the funeral. There have also
been many other offerings TO show the es-
TEEN in which Mr.. Butler was held by his
friends.
Yesterday afternoon the Marion County
Bar Association met and adopted the follow
ing memorial, which was presented by a
committee composed of Merrill Moores, Sam
uel o. Pickens. w. A. Ketcham, Harold Tay-
lor and Lewis C. Walker:
John Maurice Butler was born at Craw-
he lived in Indianapolis. He was graduated
in 1887 at Wabash College, and at once be-
came student of the law in his father $
office. and was not long afterward admitted
TO the bar. Almost Immediately he became
a member of the firm OF Mcdonald, Butler
&c Snow. which. at the death of the senior
member OF the firm, in June, 1891, became
Butler, Snow & Butler. The business of
both firms was important and extensive, and,
Notwithstanding his physical disabilities, MS
mental force and clearnesS were such that
he was intrusted with class Of business
not ordinarily given to one of his years
From childhood he had been lacking in
physical strength, and his infirmity grew
with his years. During the last two years OF
his life the suffering was intense and almost
continuous. His disability was such as TO
take him Frequently away from his profess
sion, and necessitated long trips and pro-
tracted absences. AT the same time, those
who came in contact with him, in counsel
and in the court room, recognized. in his
force and ability that he was worthy son
or his distinguished father. His mind was
bright and quick, his judgment sound, and
ais opinion on every question was valued by
his associates.
While his features frequently showed the
pain he silently endured, his character was
one OF singular beauty, and brought to him
at once the respect, friendship and admira-
ton of all with whom he came in contact
No member of the bar had warmer friends
In all ranks of life than he He was al
ways bright, cheerful and attractive, and
with charm of manner which was ire
sistible. The effort of his life was to con-
ceal his physical suffering from his friends:
yet II was none the less apparent. He was
ideally generous, strong and courageous,
and his sympathy worldwide. He had a
rare power of recognizing the good in both
his friends and those TO whom he was OPP
posed, and was singularly reluctant to
recognize defects in others. The patience
and sweetness with which he bore his
sufferings and the courage and manliness
with which he concealed them from the
world won the admiration of all who knew
him.
He died quickly and peacefully, as he
would nave wished, at noon, May %, 1896,
leaving behind him the memory of a manly
character and a life well spent. The bar
expresses It's sympathy with the family in
this their latest bereavement"

A CASE OF SMALLPOX.
AdOlph Brille, of Louisville, Suffering
with 1t mt City Hospital.

A case of genuine smallpox was discovered
at the City Hospital yesterday morning.
The patient is Adoiph Brlle, of Louisville,
KY, who has been in this city for ten days
Grille roomed at Capitol avenue and Mary
land street until Friday night, when he de-
clded TO go to the City Hospital. When he
was examined at the hospital DR.. Nichols
grew suspicious and ordered the man quar-
antined. BY crcuitous route he was taken
to the ward for patients suffering with in
fectuous diseases, where every precaution
was taken TO prevent d Spread of the disease
If it should prove TO be smallpox. Dr. Wag-
ner, who is an authority on smallpox, could
not be reached Friday night, but went TO
the hospital early yesterday morning, when
he at once declared that Brille had a gen.
uine case of smallpox. Briile was placed in
an Isolated building in the hospital grounds
Later he was sent to the pesthouse, and his
nurse and physician will be quarantined with
him.
1t is feared that others have come in con-
tact with Brille. They have been infected.
Briile roomed over a grocery at 80 South
Capitol avenue. DR.. Ferguson city SANTA
rian, quarantined the buildings yesterday,
and has taken every precaution to prevent
an epidemic. 1t is feared that Brille rode to
the hospital in a street car Friday night,
and that many persons were exposed.

CENTERING ON Mr.. M'NEELY.
Anti-CIfq1e People Favor Him in the
Eleventh District.

The people in the Eleventh school district,
who are opposed to the ring in the School
Board, are taking much interest in develop
ments in that district. The anti-cique SEN
timent in the district is crystalEzing in favor
of j. B. McNeely as a candidate to represent
those who want to reform the present School
Board methods. The committee appointed
at the Centennial Hall meeting has not de-
clded on candidate, and it is quite probable
the committee will disband without taking
any action. Mr.. McNeely is connected with
the l., ID. & w. railroad, and has lived In
the district number of years. He has chill
dren who have attended the public schools
and takes q keen interest in the school sys-
tenn. He Is man whose friends show that
he cannot be dominated by the power behind
the throne in the present notorious School
Board. Ex-Judge Byron K. Elliott pays the
following tribute to Mr.. McNeely:
Mr.. McNeely was a cOmrade OF mine dur
ing the war. and ! know him we'll He is
thoroughly honest, and, while he may not be
a great man, he is a solid fellow Of lots of
good hard sense, and the people can trust
him. He would be my personal choice for
the School Board of all the candidates that
have been named"
The people opposed to the clique are push
ing the candidacy of George w. Sloan in
the Third district.

HE GOES TO MEXICO
T. II. WLEAN TO TAKE CHARGE OF
A sTREET-CAR PLANT.
Water I'm the Sewers to Furnish Mo-
tive Power for Electricity for
the System.

Thomas H. Mclean, who recently re-
signed as general manager of the Citizens
Street-railroad Company, will leave next
Wednesday at noon for the City or Mexico
for permanent residence. His wife will ac-
company him. While in this city Mr. and
Mrs. Mclean have made many friends, and
1t is with much regret that they leave this
city.
Recently the entire street-railway system
of the City of Mexico was bought by syn
dicate of Eastern capitalists after securing
certain concessions from the government.
The system is very valuable, as 1t is the
only one in the city and suburbs. The city
proper contains over $4,000 people and the
suburbs about $1,000. There are 149 miles Of
track. All Of this will be converted into
electric lines.
Mr.. Mclean will go to the City Of Mexico
as the representative of the syndicate,
which will take charge of the property July
/. One of the peculiar things about the
system and the proposed changes is the
fact that the flow of water through the
sewers of the city will furnish the power to
operate the lines. Coal is very expensive
there and retards the introduction OF cleo
trio street railways. In that city 1t costs
about $14 a ton, which makes 1t entirely too
expensive lOT use lOE llilS pun PooC SASiA
mules can be bought as cheaply as at pres
ent. The system now uses about 1900
mules.
During a large part of the year there is
a constant flow of water through the sewers
in such quantity that 1t will furnish about
5000 horse power when converted into cleo
tricity. This will be more power than is
necessary for the street car system, but
this amount will not be available at all
seasons of the year. AS soon as Mr.. Nc
Lean takes charge of the system he will
begin the work of making the improve
ments necessary to convert the line to the
use of electricity.
In speaking of leaving here Mr.. Mclean
said last night: ''Since coming here have
found that Indianapolis is one of the incest
cities in the United States in which to live.
1 have found the most pleasant social rela-
lions, and IL is with the utmost regret that
l leave now. would not do so if 1t were
not for the fact that this offer is too
tempting TO be declined. understand that
the City of Mexico is very pleasant place
in which to live. For my own part l will
regret the fact that baseball is not a part
of the national sport of that country, but
/ can get along without 1t. i leave many
good friends. / can only hope that 1 will
find as many agreeable acquaintance and
friends in my new home
