HEAVY STOCKHOLDERS.
w. j. Turner, Of Philadelphia, In
speeding the Strcet-Car Lines.

W. ]. Turner, one Of the heavy stock
holders in the Citizens Street-railroad Com
pany, is out from Philadelphia. looking over
the plant. He put in the day yesterday rid
ing over the line and wound up his excur-
sion last night exceedingly we'll pleased
with the property.
Il came cut here to see what the company
has in the way of a street railroad" said
Mr.. Turner at the Bates last night. II
have considerable stock in the road and
number OF my friends are interested in it.
| have never seen the Indianapolis plant,
and came here to look it over. My chief
purpose in coming was to satisfy myself as
to the thousand and one rumors that have
been floating about lately concerning the
road. | have satisfied myself thoroughly,
and | can say that there is nothing in these
rUmors of sale and transfer. The Citizens
street railroad is not TO be sold-at least
not to my knowledge. 1t is not likely that
negotiations of this character could be
pending without the knowledge of the stock
holders"
Mr.. Turner is Philadelphia lawyer and
is president of the Lehigh * New England
railway. He knows something about rail-
reads and their revenues, and he says he
does not believe the people of Indianapolis
have any room 10 growl about their present
street-car facilities.
Il don't think the people of this city APP
lreciate their Street-car company as they

learn that people can ride from one end of
the city TO the other for cents. It's alb
surd to talk about reducing fares as | lock
at IL. The road is not making any money
now for its owners. / have never received
a penny the stock 1 hold and there are
other stockholders who have had the same
experience. The very best the road is doing
now is to pay the interest on its bonded
indebt edness Citizens street-rai.road stock
is cheap and don't see why people who
think IL Is making money don't buy the
stock There is plenty of 1t for sale at 81
a share. The stock has been fiuctuating
considerably of late. but as far / know
there Is no 'watered' stock. 1t would be
impossible for the road TO run on a less
fare than is being charged at this time"
Mr.. Turner denied that he WAS here to
find out about the company's franchise. He
says the question of franchise is not trou-
bling the managers. because they believe
their rights are perpetual.
Judge Woods. one OF the ablest jurists in
the country has decided that have a

he is right. | am lawyer myself and have
given this question a good deal of hard
study. | am confident that the Supreme
Court of the United States will sustain the

John Huegele. proprietor of a Washington

costs in Police Court yesterday afternoon
for a violation OF the Nicholson law.
Huegele allowed a plea of guilty TO be re-

Gas Companies Must Pay Property
Owners Reasonable Sums.

A petition for a rehearing in the case of
the Consumers Gas Trust Company against
George Huntsinger ct al. was denied yes
terday by the Appellate Court. The case
was decided last January. Huntsinger and
others tore up a pipe line laid in Madison
county by the Trust company because the
company had not secured the right to lay
it along the public highway in front of the
appeEee's property. The company sued for
damages and for the value of the pipe de-
stroyed The court below decided that as
the fee simple of the roadway, subject to
the easement of the public as a passageway
is in the owners OF the adjoining property
the pipe could not be laid without regular
condemnation proceedings and payment of
reasonable damages. This opinion was sus-
tanned by the higher court.

Guided all the prominent local politi-
clans. Ex-senator T. c. Platt sent a
letter of regret. which with many 9TH
ers. was read by the secretary Of the
dinner committee. The following is a
synopsis of Mr.. Platt's letter:
Tt is we'll for Republicans to meet to-
gether on the anniversary of the birth
day Of General Grant. He was a Re
publican to whom his party owes more
than sympathy would have US fancy it
does. Everyone knows he commanded
the armies which put down the rebel
lion and that he exhibited the quail
ties of q great general at Vicksburg
at Chattanooga and at the battles
around Richmond, and that he was one
of the chief among those whose efforts
resulted in the preservation of this I'm
ion. But everyone does not remember
that he rendered equally great service
to the nation when he was president
The future historians, I believe will de-
clare that when he vetoed the imitation
act of 1874, he did as much for the per
manent prosperity of the country as he
ever accomplished on any of his hard
fought fields His courage was as
unhinching as it was in the Wilderness
He never t'straddled." he never 'wOb-
bled,' and he never consented that any
man or any body of men should eth
er swobble' or 'straddle' for him. These
be quite as trying times as the days Of
the spring of 1874. and let US take to
ourselves the courage of the president
who then saw plainly the safe and pru-
dent course and who dared to take that
course
The Republican party must 80 straight
forward with unflinching courage I'M
til the principles for which it stands
shall be recognized as the established
principles of the state and Of the union
of states.
We must labor until the prosperity
which shall surely follow with prOtec-
ton fall ia every town and hamlet we
must work until the smoke from the
drifts down the winds that blow on
every sea We must strive until our
great cities are afforded every Opportu-
nifty to obtain the best possible munic-
lpal government We must never rest
until our finances are placed upon the
same solid and immOvable basis as are
lions, and business men are left free
to carry on their enterprises without
fear of interference from the govern
ment at Washington
Very truly yours.

WATER SHUT OFF.
Spring Water Supply Vanished at the
White House.

WASHINGTON. April 2s.-President
Cleveland has been deprived for some
time of his customary supply Of pure
spring water. but now that he is set
tied out at WOOdley, it will not make
so much difference as If the family were
still at the White House.
1T has been claimed for many years
that the executive mansion was an I'M
healthy place of residence, because of
its proximity to the low lands border
ing on the Potomac. There never has
been any trouble. however. for the last
half century or so. about an abundant
supply Of pure water
Within the confines Of Franklin park,
a few blocks north of the treasury build
ing. there are two beautiful springs Of
water, and as far back as 1881 congress
appropriated enough money to brick
in the springs and pipe the water to the
White House, and ever since then the
president of the United States has been
freed from the necessity Of using the
Potomac water, which, after heavy
rains. has an unpleasant habit Of as
suming the color if not the consistency
Of mulligatawney soup
A bout a week ago for some rnysteri-
Gus reason the supply of spring water
stopped absolutely. The springs are
running fun and it vii take a careful
examination to show why the White
House has been cut off.
