KEEP THEIR MOUTHS CLOSED.
Messrs. Mckee and Werner In the City,
but Are Shy of Reporters.

H. Sellers Mckee and Murray A. Werner,
who seem to own the street-car company,
have been in hiding here for two days. They
changed their hotel by going to the Grand,
where they stopped without registering.
Yesterday President Mason took the street.
car men over the property, accompanied by
a contractor who came with them. 1t was
said that improvements are promised, and
the impression given was that Messrs. Nc
Kee and Werner know to whom the property
belongs. A few weeks ago three suave gen.
tlemen came here from Philadelphia, say
ing, "We own the street-car companv"
Repeatedly the word has come from r. T.
Mcdonald. through his friends. II own the
company" Messrs. McKe and Werner are
now here proceeding with al air to signify
own the company" Nevertheless. the
company continues 10 haul passengers at
the rate OF 5 cents per head, the car tracks
are still badly out of grade, the streets be-
lie has been so misled by street-car lifiga-
ton and talk that the question is becoming
tiresome.
Maybe Messrs. Mckee and Werner went
home last evening, and maybe they did not.
They could not. or. rather, would not, be
they had returned home, yet Mr.. Mckee is
reported as having been seen during the
evening, and two or three of the local Off
GERS called at the hotel. The local officials
OF the road say Messrs. Mckee and Werner
were here for the purpose OF attending to
the intimation Is given that perhaps a
proposition will soon be made to the city.
Mayor Taggart said last night that he had
not heard one word OF street-car matters.

HIS MOTHER PAID THE FINE.
Zepp, of the Big Four, As
saulted His Engineer.

Charles N. Zepp, a fireman on the Big
Four road, was fined in Justice Nickerson's
court yesterday for an assault on William
Donovan, Of Brightwood. an engineer run
ming on the same road. Young Zepp's moth
er paid the fine and costs, which amounted
to 81. Justice Nickerson remarked that if
it were not for the fact that the young fell
lows mother would have to suffer he would
infiict the full penalty Of the law. Zepp. and
his mother live at No. A Arch street. En-
gineer Donovan said that a short time ago
Zepp made a run with him as his fireman.
working with him one night. He thought
Zepp was drunk and took him 10 task for
drinking while on duty. Zepp resented the
imputation. Afterwards he Imagined that
Donovan had reported his conduct to the
officials of the road and threatened revensa.
two men met in the yards of the Big
Four roundh0use at B~rigntwood, when some
angry words were uttered. Zepp threw a.
chunk Of coal and struck Donovan on the
temple, inficting an ugly wound. He was
disabled for several days. At the trial yes
terday young Zepp pleaded guilty TO the
charge. Justice Nickerson says the case was
OF a particularly aggravated character, and
that II he had followed his inclinations he
would have punished the young man more
severely.

JOHNSON COUNTY MAN
MR. ovERsTREET's FRIENDS PRE-
SENT HIS CLAIMS TO REPUBLICANS.
Myers Withdravs I'm the Eleventh
Lawshe-Ofher Political Matters.

Representative Overstreet, so far as can
be learned, has no opposition for renomina-
ton to Congress from this district. His
Johnson county friends are urging his re-
nomination. and the following is said 10 be
the sentiment Of the Republicans OF that
county, who ask the support Of the Marion
county Republicans:
I'VE hereby indorse his Congressman
Overstreets) record in the Fffty-fourth
Congress as diligent, consistent. wise. hon
as just measures the bills introduced by
Mr. Overstreet requiring al pensions to
be paid by check through the United States
mails, and declaring pensions &C be a vested
right and that pensioners shall have notice
before they are dropped frora the rolls.
We congratulate ourselves, the Repub-
loans or this district, of Indiana and Of
the Nation uDon the election of Mr.. Over
street as the Indiana member Of the ma
tioral Republican congressional campaign
member OF the executive committee Of
eight chosen from the general committee.
Mr.. Overstreets ability and experience as
an effective political organizer will thus
be brought to the active campaign work
OF the Republicans of the State and Ma
tion-
TO congratulate Mr.. Overstreet upon his
aggressive AND brilliant contest, and his
triumphant election In 1894. To his untir-
ing energy, intelligent and forceful pre-
sentation of the issues and rare political
sagacity the splendid achievements of that
victory over Democratic incompetence,
demagogy and false promises were largely
due.
I'VE earnestly and sincerely urge the
nomination of Mr.. Overstreet in the Sew
enth congressional district convention to
be held April 16, 1896. Believing that pre-
cedent well established and the best pol
itics of this district, the ability, availability
and faithful services of Mr.. Overstreet
all unite in making his nomination logical,
fair and right, we respectfully suggest to
the Republicans of Marion county that Mr..
Overstreet's nomination ought to come to
him as the unanimous expression Of the
Republicans of this district"
