Fred hurry, employe of the Indiana
Bicycle Company, about twenty-five years
DID, living at No. 70 Columbia avenue, ran
into a buggy last night on Massachusetts,
avenue near Walnut street and was serious
~ injured. hurry was on the right side of
the street coming south, and Leonard Mer
rilI, who was in the buggy that did the
damage, was on the same side of the street
but going in the opposite direction. Ac-
cording to the story of patrolmen Diltz and
Jones both men We're going at a good rate
of speed, and near Walnut street both
reached a buggy that was going slower
than hurry cared to move. AT the same
time each attempted to pass it on the
same side. and, neither one seeing the
other, they came together, but as the wheel
was the lighter Of the two vehicles hurry
received ali the damage. One of the shafts
of the buggy entered Murry's body near
the bottom Of the abdomen, and the en-
trails protruded from the wound.
The city ambulance was called and re-
moved the sufferer to the hospital. where
everything possible was done for him. Mer-
Till was arrested by patrolmen Diltz and

WEST-SIDE FRANCHISES.
Haughvi1Ie and West Indianapolis
Propose to Have More Gas.

The West Indianapolis and Haughville
authorities have instructed their attorneys
to draw up franchises for the purpose of
allowing the Keystone Gas and Oil Com
pany to lay gas mains into the suburbs,
and action will be taken on these franchises
at the regular meeting next week. The
residents of the suburbs were not supplied
with sufficient gas last winter, and during
the recent cold morning the supply from
the Indianapolis company was so weak, it
is claimed, that many families were obliged
to use wood or coal to prepare their morn
ing meal The keystone company owns
several wells north of the city. and claims
that it has a pressure thirty-seven pounds
greater than the largest we'll outside of its
field 1t also agrees to furnish gas at rates
lower than those of the Indianapolis COM
pany.

OF A LOW BRIDGE
UNKNOWN MAN KNOCKED OFF A BIG
FOUR CAR AT NOBLE STREET.
Structure Responsible for More
than Thirteen Deaths-LittIe to
Identity This Man.

Last evening added one victim to
the number already claimed by the Noble
street bridge over the Big Four tracks.
This bridge has been the cause of more
than a bakers dozen deaths. An unknown
man was seen to roll off a freight car in
the Big Four yards east of State avenue
yesterday evening shortly after o'clock.
He was picked up and found to be still
alive but unconscious, with large hole
in the back of his head. The railroad men
Immediately telephoned to the City Dis
pensary for the ambulance, but before it
arrived the man was dead. He was re-
moved to Whitsett's morgue where he
now awaits Identification.
He is about twenty-five years old, fully
six feet high and probably weighs 16o
pounds; has very dark hair, but not entire
ly black; full face With prominent cheek
bones and teeth that are large and almost
perfect in front. He wore a dark suit,
which appeared to have been used for
working purposes. There was nothing in
his pockets that would serve to identify
him. Two small lead pencils, ladies'
handkerchief with blue hem-stitched bor-
der colored muslin necktie, a cigarette
and two envelopes, one containing note,
was all that was found in his pockets. The
note was addressed to the doorkeeper at
Tomlinson Hall, dated Sept. 2, and was
signed by w. j. Richards, of the News.
IL was on a News letterhead. 1t reads:
Kindly admit our representative with
papers and oblige the Indianapolis News
Company w. j. Richards, Manager.
Mr.. Richards says he does not remember
giving any such note to a man, but that
such note was given to a newsboy. The
supposition is that the boy lost it and this
man found it. The other envelope con-
tanned nothing, but on the outside was
written in pencil the name Beatrice
Earle" This was almost illegible. 1t was
not placed there as if in addressing the
envelope to her, but was written on one
end of the envelope.
The railroad men who were with the
train on which the man was killed did not
know he was on the train. The first that
was known of the matter was when the
yard clerk in the yards east of State street
saw body fall from the top of
There was other place that the man
could have been hurt except the train
passed under the Noble-street bridge, and
from that the railroad men suppose that
is the place where the accident happened.
From the large hole in the back of the
mans head it would seem that he must
have been sitting the brake wheel of
a low car or on the edge of a very high
car with his face to the rear of the train.
This would bring his head just about high
enough to strike the iron Orders of the
bridge.

HARDYTO BE REFLECTED
DEMOCRATS AND POPULIsTS IN SEC
OND DISTRICT AT WAR.
In Knox County Are Not Less than $50
Gold Democrats Who VIII Not
Vote for Bryan.

w. I. Overstreet of Terre Haute, member
of the Republican executive committee, ar
rived in the city yesterday after week
spent in the Second congressional district.
Mr.. Overstreet gives an encouraging ac-
count of Republican prospects down in that
part of the State. He was in each of the
counties composing the district and got his
information not only from the politicians,
but by direct contact with voters in the
towns and from the country districts.
He confidently predicts that Col. A. NJ.
Hardy will be reelected to Congress and
that the district will give majority for
Mckinley. Both the Democrats and the
Populists have candidate for Congress in
the district, and UP to date all attempts at
fusion have proven unsuccessful. The Pop
ulists of the district take the position that
since they have swallowed the Democratic
party every place else, that there is no
reason why they should not do it in the
Second district, and they are demanding
the withdrawal of ex-State Senator Miers,
who is the Democratic nominee. The DEM
ocrats have fatty refused to accede to the
Populist demand, and all.the indications are
that the congressional fight in the Sec
ond district will continue to be three-sided.
Colonel Hardy is confident that he will car
ry every county in the district. and that
he will be returned to Congress by ma
jority exceeding that of two years ago,
which was in the neighborhood of 1000. The
observations of Mr.. Overstreet lead him to
believe that the Republican detection on
account of the silver issue will not ex-
coed an average of twenty to the county
while there is abundant evidence to indi-
cate that the Democrats will lose an aver
age of one hundred to the county on the
money issue The Democratic revolt in
Knox county is especially serious. In the
city of Vincennes, and, in fact, throughout
the entire county the hard-money senti-
ment is very strong and well-posted poll
ticians vouch for it that there are not less
than $50 gold Democrats in the county who
will refuse to vote for the Chicago ticket
or for anything that bears the Popocratic
brand. The Republicans in Knox county
are confident that they will carry it. not
only for the State and national ticket, but
that they will elect their candidate for the
LegiSIa ttlre.

Notaries as Election Officers.

The Attorney-general had a letter yes
terday from county constituent asking
whether the fact that he was a notary
would disqualify him from serving a
member of election board. The Attor-
ney-generaI replied that it would not; that
the issue of a commission as a notary pub
lie did net make a man an officer within
the meaning of the statute.
