OFFER FIVE ELECTORS
POPoCRATS HAVE ANOTHER PRoPO-
SITION FOR THE POPULIsTs.
Weekly Meeting of the Campaign
Committee Yesterday-The Scheme
of Matthews and Turpie.

The Popocratic campaign committee,
composed of Governor Matthews, Thomas
Taggart. James Murdoch, John E.
Lamb and D. f. Allen, met yesterday aft
ernoon at the Grand and remained in ses-
sion until a late hour. The session was
devoted almost entirely to the considera
ton of the question of fusion with the
Populists, not only on the electoral ticket,
but on the congressional and legislative
tickets During the last week fusion has
been arranged in a number of the counties
in the Tenth and Eleventh districts,
though 1T failed in Blackboard county in
the Eighth. On the electoral question it
was decided that if the Populists Will
agree. when their committee meets here
tomorrow, they shall have five electors.
1t is understood that Matthews and Tur-
pie have contended right along that the
only hope the party could have of carry
ing the State lay in complete fusion with
the Populists, and they are of the belief
that they have already lost all the Demo-
Gratis they are going to- no matter what
sort of a deal is made with the Populists
They declare that the Democrats believing
in the gold standard going to vote
with the Republicans anyhow, and the ex-
pressed indignation over negotiating fu-
sion with the Populists is only given as an
excuse for voting las the money power
Dictates.
The committee devoted a portion of the
afternoon to the effort to straighten out
the bad snarl the party has got into over
the senatorial nomination in the jennings,
Scott and Clark district. In this district,
it will be remembered, George II. Weight,
of Jeffersonville, a sound-money man, and
Joseph H. Shea. of Scottsburg, were the
contestants. The silver crowd rode rough
irregular delegates in order to prevent the
nomination of Voght, and the result was
two conventions and two nominations.

hitting that a continuation of the row
would probably mean a Republican Sena-

position to give in, and the matter was

SHIPMHN'S BAD RECORD.
Man Shot by Policeman Taken 40 the
City Hospital.

Dee Shipman, the man who was shot
while resisting arrest Saturday night and
who fought half a dozen officers at the
police station, was taken to the City Hos
pital yesterday, where he is constantly
guarded. His wound is in the 1eshy part
of the leg and it is not regarded seri-
Gus. He was quiet all day yesterday and
gave his guard trouble. The police
have been looking for ShpmaH for over
a year and his arrest now is on three
warrants for assault and battery. June
%, 1895, a warrant for his arrest was
sworn out by AL Scott and last March
John jackson caused a warrant for his
arrest to be issued. Again in July he as
saulted William Grovenberry. Grovenber-
ry was teaching his wife to ride a bicycle
when Shipman made insulting remark
The husband resented the insult and in the
fight which followed got decidedly the
worst of it. For the latter offense patrol
man BunneH attempted to arrest Ship
man shortly after it occurred. but was
unable to take the man. Since then he
has eluded the officers until Saturday
night, when patrolman Wallace and Lam
caster ran across him.

A Negro Arrested ON Suspicion.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon
Chief Massing, of the West Indianapolis
police force, saw a negro, who, from time
to time, glanced over his shoulder appre-
hensively while running south on the Belt
railroad near Morris street, and he arrest
ed him on suspicion. He gave his name as
George Anderson, and claimed that he
lived on Harlan street. in the south part of
the city. He said that he worked on a
farm near Plainfield, had left the Vandalia
train at the Belt crossing and rum
ming for a street car when he arrest
ed, it being his intention to take the car
for his home The police thought it
strange that he should walk half a mile
TO get a car to the city when he could
catch one at the Union Station and save
time by so doing. and his trousers We're
covered with mud to the knees The city
police were telephoned to see If he was
wanted here and they sent word back to
the suburban police to hold the man until

number of people by promising them
work and securing deposit from them.
was in the city yesterday and called at
the police station to see her husband. She
came uD from Spencer, where they have
been making their home. Mrs. Miller said
she had no idea what her husband was do
ing here She said he would come to the
city frequently and would always return
the same day. She supposed he was in
some legitimate business, which brought
him here. She said she had met Miller in
Chicago but a few months ago and that
they had been married only three months.
The police were surprised when Miller told

lieve that Spencer could turn out so
smooth man. His wife's explanation con-
vinces the police that they have caught a
shrewd sharper.

which she learned that the man who had
committed the crime had wheeled a bu-
reau 10 house in the southwest part of
the city: that the little girl had followed
him. expecting him to take her TO his
sister, where she was TO act as nurse.
Knapp told hcr soon as he took the bu-
rsau home they would go TO his sister $.
The girl said that she went along with
him, saw him take the dresser into a
house and then went with him into the
blind alley, where she was assaulted.
With this information Mrs Buchanan
and DR.. Elster found the house to which
the dresser had been taken and when
Elster went in he found Knapp at work
upon the dresser. putting the glass on it.
Knapp was arrested and taken TO the po-
lice station. and il was then that Sheriff
Womack took a hand. He took Knapp
around in a buggy and had him identified
by several persons who had seen him
wheeling the dresser ard who had seen
him with the little girl. Mrs. Buchanan
claims credit for the detective work which
resulted in Knapps arrest.

Great Consumption of Corn.

The local cerealne mills and starch works
are now converting more corn each day
into the products they turn out than at any
former period. The cerealine mills alone
are using from 1000 to 5000 bushels of corn.
The Big Four now keeps switching en-
CINE at the works most of the time, as from
fifteen to twenty carloads of corn are de-
livered there daily, and from ten to twelve
carloads of manufactured goods are
shipped. The Indianapolis hominy mills
and the starch works require about as
day to day A considerable per cent. of the
product of these Industries is exported.
However, the indianapolis manufacturers
of goods from corn have excellent reputa-
ton all over this country and have a good
home trade.

Indianapolis is rapidly reaching the point
where it will be the largest horse and mule
market in, the country, and the business
can be handled at less cost than at any
other point, from the fact that the sales
stables are in so close proximity to the
stock yards. In ten minutes a carload of
horses can be unIoaded and be put in the
stalls of the sales stables, or if to be
shipped loaded in twenty minutes. Out
side horse sellers and outside horse and
mule buyers appreciate this fact. 1t is but
a little over three years since the weekly
auction sales of horses was inaugurated
business The new additional horse barn,
which is $40 feet long by 66 feet wide, and
the two new mule barns, each 10 feet long
bv 72 feet wide will be completed within ten
DAYS There will then be room at these
sale stables for 1500 head of horses and
twenty carloads of mules.

NO MONEY IN ICE TRUST
ONE OF THE DEALERS TELLS OF
THE COMBINATIONS WOES.
Unusually Large Consumption oil
Corn in This City by MiIIs-The
Horse Market.

One of the Oldest and shrewdest of the
ice dealers, and one who is interested IN
one of the largest artificial plants, states
that, despite all the talk of the newspa-
pers the ice dealers of this city have mace
less money than in any of several years
past He knows, he says, that one or the
largest plants here has actually lost money,
and had not the owners had other business,
in which there was some profit. the owners
of the plant would have not been able TO
pull through on account of lack Oh hnahces.
He then said the owners of the artlnclal ice
plants and all the dealers who in the spring
went into a combination and sprung prices
above those of 1895 to consumers. made q
gross mistake. 1t frightened people at the
outset and many decided to get along with
ont ice. Then it led to large number
of small dealers entering the field. Fully
thirty of these small dealers went to the
Kingan company, purchased ice from them
and began selling it at once at rs cents per
100 mounds This cut very seriously into the
business of the larger concerns, and when
the Kingan company could not supply the
small dealers, they had ice shipped in here
from Laporte and from the artificial plants
at Shelbyvlle, Richmond and Lafayette, so
that they were enabled to make a fair prof
it, while the larger concerns were at heav-
Ter expense in keeping up good teams and
wagons and employing two men to the
wagon.
So far as the plant of the dealer who is
quoted is concerned, he says he would have
made more money to have sold ice in bulk
right at the mandatory at 81 a ton and
had no trouble of delivering and no loss in
collections Next year he will favor the
company selling its ice at that figure for
cash letting the buyers carry the burden
of delivering and collecting the bills. Kin
gan & Co. adopted this plan, and in sales
of ice right at their plant they have made
more money than the other six plants this
season. The methods of making ice are
now simple, and it can be made at such
small cost that il makes but little differ
ence in future winters if no natural ice
should be cut for the Indianapolis market.
