Regarding the statement that a number
of property owners in the district bounded
by Alabama street, Morrison street. Sew

ed employing a private police force to pa

had a few words to say last evening. 1t Is
said that the people living in this part of
the city have become SO Disguised with the
ineficiency of the regular police force that
they will employ men and pay them TO pro
tect the property. Said Superintendent Col
bert:
For a while there were many fires in
that neighborhood. and / had two men

GAS MAY BE CUT OFF.
The Com Give Warning TO Their
Heavy Consumers.

The two natural gas companies that fur
nish gas to consumers in this city have TAX
en- steps TO insure that private consumers
shall have all the gas possible in case the
winter should prove severe. About thirty
factories were notified that their supply of
gas would be cut off Nov. l and a large
number OF persons owning business blocks
Were warned that the supply might be cut
of at any time. This warning is given that
coal may be laid in for the emergency. This
action was taken by the indianapolis Com
pany and the Consumers Company has
notned lis heavy consumers that they may
be cut off IL the emergency arises.
The companies complain that gas is be-
ing wasted. Mr. Pearson, of the Indianap-
oils Company, said yesterday that il was
the intention of the company TO make a
rigid inspection of all connections and
where IL was found thai people were using
gas without mixers or were using bored
mixers the connection would be cut off at
the street. 1t WAS the Intention of the
company, he said. 10 protect the honest
consumer. The Consumers Company will
also make a rigid inspection.

port of Treasurer Horton showed that dur
ing the year $50, $50 had been disbursed on
twenty-seven deaths of members and five
total disability claims paid. With this year
the paying of benefits in case of total dis
ability ceases and only in case of death
will benefits be paid to the legal heirs of

~CIergymen's Permits.

Under the supervision of Chairman Cald-
well the clergy permit bureau, which was
organized last year. will be continued in
1897 and strengthened by the adoption of
more stringent rules, designed to guard
against improper manipulation of half-fare
permits. 1t was agreed on all hands that
the bureau had been a success. having re-
lieved the individual roads of the work of
a detective agency and rogues' gallery, both
having been found necessary in dealing
with clerical pretenders. In this connection
it is curious to note that ministerial per-
mitS for half fares have repeatedly been
obtained by book agents and canvassers,
while an appalling number of these permits
are said to have found their way into the
possession of brokers'.

Tony FredendaIl and Emil Matheny were
placed on trial yesterday i'll the Crlfnlilal
Court charged with stealing two cows IN
West Indianapolis. They have been IN Jail
for nearly three months. The evidence
showed that Matheny was standing on the
street in West indianapolis when Freden-
dali came along with the cows and gave
Matheny 81 to assist him in driving them to
the stock yards. When the Yards were
reached, 1T is claimed by Matheny, Freden-
could get for the cows, as he had some
other business to look after. The COWS
Were sold. The case is still before the court.
There seems TO be no evidence on which to
convict Matthew. 1t was shown that he
had never known Fredendall before the day
the cows were stolen.
