out. that it may be avoided. The third
paper in the report is on The WhetStone
and Grindstone Rocks Of Indiana" by Z.
NJ. Kindle. 1t comprises thirty-nine pages
and is accompanied by geological map OF
the area under consideration. Indiana is the
seccnd State of the Union in the production
of whetstones and grindstones, but the
region in which they are found has never
before been accurately mapped and the
resources has received but little considera-
ton in previous reports.
Following this is the report OF j. c. Leach,
the State natural gas supervisor, which COM
prises forty-two pages and is accompanied
by a new map of the Indiana natural gas
field made especially for this report. One
feature of this paper is complete list OF

Hon. c. w. Fairbanks returned yesterday
from journey TO New York. having
stopped over day at Canton, o., on his re-
turn and paid his respects to Governor Nc
Kinley. Mr.. Fairbanks wentXto New York
to look after case in the federal court, and
Ii happened that while he was there there
was quite a conjunction Of friends OF Nc
Kinley about the Fifth-avenue Hotel. The
New York papers during the last week have
been full of the discussion OF McKinley's
financial record. and all that his friends
have to say about IT.

Fairbanks yesterday, when Central Algef
and Mr.. Hahn came to the hotel SEPARATELY.
1t was just at a time when the attack upon
McKinley's financial record was made by
Plat and others. We found ourselves in the
midst OF the storm center. do not believe
there was or is any alarm in financial or
. business circles there in New York or In
their part OF the East upon the question of
McKinley's financial views. Upon investiga-

litical trick the last effort OF the ANTS al

his prestige. Examination, you know, shows
Mckinley's record on the financial question

more definite upon this point than the Re-
publican platforms OF New York have been
and / am told that the other day the New
York Tribune published the financial planks
OF successive platforms In years back, and
they show close parallel OF the views and
votes OF Mckinley upon this question. I was
with him in the Ohio campaign in 1891, when
the Democrats were running their campaign
on free-silver platform, and he combated
the free-silver heresy emphatically and en-
ergetically in his debates that year. I be-
lieve that the country Is familiar with his
views, and do not believe Ii necessary for

The fourth annual session of the Indiana
lawmakers Association was held at Druids'
Hall. on Maryland street, yesterday. The
name OF the association is somewhat mis-

association has discovered a new process of

Robert Haggarty and Thomas Wilson
boarded west-bound vandalia passenger
train yesterday evening intending 10 steal a
ride. The conductor. attempted to put them

fight the men left the train at the Belt road.
After the train got under Roadway the men
began throwing stones at the car windows.
Special patrolman Pierson, in the employ of
the Vandalia company, saw the men throw

STATE MAY GET LEFT
PATTON COMPAyY,s SCHEME To
EvADE PAYING ITS DEBT.
Ketcham Goes to
MuDcie to Have the Receiversbip
There Set Aside.

Attorney-general Ketcham went to Muncie
yesterday to take steps to set aside the re-
ownership appointed for the Patton hollow
ware factory in Muncie. He says he will
succeed. Last night he wired Warden Hert
OF the Prison South, not to permit the re-
ceivers OF the Patton factory there to enter
the walls or even to see the disputed prop
erty. The receivers, Messrs Joseph and j.
G. Johnson, left for Jeffersonville from Mum
Gle last night and there will evidently be
strong fight on the part of the State to re-
cover this money which the company is at
tempting to evade paying.
The placing of the large properties of the
Patton hollogwware works. located in
Muncie and Jeffersonville and Column
bus, o., in the hands of re-
ceiver caused sensation at Muncie. The
trouble Is the outcome of a suit that was
brought py the State of Indiana to secure a
claim of $4,000 which was alleged to be due
the State for convict labor in the Jefferson
vile peniteniiary. The company has re-
fused TO pay this amount, claiming on the
several hundred dollars, and after the suit
In the Clark county court had been decided
against the company the receivers were

was named receiver for the Columbus
plant, and Mr.. Joseph and j. C. Johnson,
OF Muncie. for the Indiana plants. The
Union National Bank, of Muncie, held notes
amounting TO $3.50 against thte company,
and the receiver has issued mortgages to Sc
cure this debt A. ". r. Patton, son of
Colonel Patton. who has been in charge of
the factory at Muncie. is still In charge hav-

Ii was only last week that the State Sc
cured the $4,000 judgment against the Pat
ton company in FloyC county. The debt of
the company to the State grew during the
Democratic administration of the Prison
South, when apparently no effort was mad
by the Democratic State officers to make
the company settle. Greene Smith, who was
then Attorney-generaA made no effort TO COL
lect, but after. Mr. Ketcham took Office he
began vigorous prosecution of the case
against the company. In the event the re-
ceiverships in the different cities, which

claims. are not set aside, the State will be

The friends of Governor Matthews are
making some rather wild claims about al

friends yesterday. HE knew what ne was
