TRAIN STRUCK A STREET SWEEPER.
Robert T.. Brown, n Colorsd Driver,
killed mt South-Styeet.

Robert l.. Brown, cJiored man, who
has been driving one of the big four-horse
sweeping wagons for Fuehring Brothers,
street sweeping contractors, was knocked
from bis wagon by train On the j., NJ. &
l. crossing on South street at 3:25 o'clock
yesterday morning. He received fatal In

pital two hours later. wnera he was taken
by one of the physicians from the City Dis
pensary.
Brown was driving one OF three or four
wagons which were going east on South
street. His was the third wagon. The
others crossed the track in safety, but ow-
ing TO the loud, roaring noise made by the
sweepers Brown did not rear Chicago
train due at the Union station at BIS
O'Clock, which was coming down the track.
Other drivers say that Brown must have
become confused, as, he hac plenty OF time
to get across il he had whipped up his
horses. The pilot of the engine struck the
wagon just behind the front wheels. Brown
was knocked from the seat and struck the
pilot as he fell. Several ribs were crushed
and he was badly injured Internally. The
sweeper was dragged half a block, but the
horses were not hurt. Brown was sent to
the City Dispensary, but was suffering too
severely for an operation and was re-
moved to the City Hospital. He died with
out uttering a word. HIS body was re-
moved to his former home. 312 East Court

Boards on Its Property.

A bill board belonging to Dickson & Tai
bott, and located on the Court-street side Of
the federal building, was torn down by or
ders of United States Marshal Hawkins yes
terday morning. Mr.. Hawkins armed his
deputies and janitors with crowbars. ham
mers and saws. and made quick work of the
bill board. The latter contained the posters
for Shore Acres
Mr.. Hawkins says he notified Dickson &
Talbot that no bills should be posted there,
as there Is government law prohibiting
such advertising on property belonging to
it. Mr.. Hawkins states that he notified the
firm ian. 20 that no more bills should be
pasted there. but twice since then the order
has been disobeyed. The bill posting for
the theaters is done by posting company,
and IL not under the direct charge of Dick

THE CRACKED CEMENT WALKS.
Contractors Not Pleased with the
City Engineers Report.

The cement-walk contractors OF the city
are not very well pleased with the report
Of City Engineer Jeup giving the number of
blocks laid by each one that have cracked
since last summer. Yesterday morning a
number OF the contractors were callers at
Mr. Jeup's office, but got no satisfaction.
They were simply told that the repairs
must be made and that the Board of Works
was evidently In earnest when II said that
no new work could be begun until all re-
pairs had been made. The contractors left
with the promise that repairs would be made
at once.
The asphalt companies are getting ready
10 begin repairing in a few days. All repairs
must be made by the third Monday Of this
month.

THE PASTOR "UNwINDICATED.v
An Interesting Chapter from Politics
ON the south Side.

Some people said that Mr.. Olaf Joined the
South Side Presbyterian Church for the sake
or the political prestige il would give him.
That may have been true and it may have
been false. Certain it is, however, that he
did not suppress his fondness for beer and
he could not restrain desire to occasionally
indulge in small potions of ''schnapps" True.
he was moderate drinker. but no one could
truthfully state that he had ever been seen
intoxicated.
People on the South Side were not greatly
surprised when he announced that he would
be candidate for reelection to the Council.
Busybodies in the church asserted that Mr..
Olan would oppose an ordinance which the
pastor intended to present TO the Council
providing for the furtherance of temperance.
Il do not believe he will" said the pastor
congregation the good preacher went to
MI. Olaf and gently limited that his regards
by some peope II ont know @efe who doubted tse,
should think would oppose your ordinance
said Mr.. Olaf. But TO convince them of
my good intentions 1 am willing to sign a
written pledge to support anything you in
troduce. And the good pastor was de-
lighted and went TO one OF the deacons who
had scoffed at Mr.. olaff's sincerity. and had
him write an iron-clad obligation. At the
next meeting night. in the presence OF the
elders, Mr.. Olaf signed an agreement ito
support all ordinances intended to suppress
of the laws
The pastor. with good intentions, publicly
proclaimed what good man Mr., Olaf was
and told how he had promised to use his in
fiuence in the furtherance Of all good causes
and how he had subscribed 500 TO the
church.
Now 1t happened that in the ward there
were number OF saloon keepers, all good
friends and constituents Of Councilman Olan.
When they heard how ne had pledged him
self against them they were aggrieved and
went to the ward committeeman and made
that they would vote for the opposition
candidate. All this came to Mr. Olaff's ears.
Then he went secretly. by night, TO the pas
tors house and asked 10 be shown the paper
which he had signed. Coming TO his own
house he placed the document in the CRATE
and IL was consumed. The next morning
the pastor came TO MI OlaH 5 mouse ana
asked that the paper be returned. The cum
ming politician told him that his written
pledge was In ashes. He told him also that
the pledge was made 50 that the church
might know how he stood and not for pub

NO TRUCE WITH ROBY
GOVERNOR WILL TRY TO HEAD OFF
PROPOSED ILLEGAL RACING.
John Condor, One Of the Proprietors
Sends n False Telegram to
New Orleans.

It is announced that Governor Matthews
and Encouragement Ketcham will lend
their support to the efforts of the civic or
CARNATIONS in fighting the Roby race track.
Nothing can be done by the State until the
races have run the fifteen days allowed by
the Sellars law. To evade this law the
Roby association has had built four or five
tracks. The races will begin on one and
run to the limit allowed by the law, when
they will be transferred to another, and so
on until races can be given during the en-
tire summer. The Roby people claim that
each track is under independent manage
ment, but the State will probably hold that
all the tracks are built for the use Of the
one association. At the expiration or the
fifteen days. when the association will at
tempt to move to another track. some de-
veopments are promised
There is a possibility that the Roby VEN
ture may fail because of the hesitancy OF
horsemen to bring their runners to Indiana
and then lose time and dates by getting
into a legal battle. The horse owners have
been very anxious to receive information
concerning the probable action Of the In
diana authorities. There are other tracks
to which they can ship their horses with
the assurance that the races will not be
interrupted. 1t seems that the Roby man
agement has been sending out the alleged
information that the difference between the
association and the State has been fixed.
and that Governor Matthews and the asso-
citation understand each other.
On Friday telegram, signed by the
Item and sent out in the interest Of horse
men at New Orleans, was received at the
Governors office. The telegram from the
Item was as follows:
do you hold the plans Of the Roby racing
people an evasion of the law, and will you
oppose them? John Condor, one of the pro-
moters, wires horsemen here that amcable
arrangements have been made with you 10
let tracks run. Breeders and horsemen here
await reply"
The following Is the Governors reply:
Have not made any arrangements, ami
cable or otherwise, with John Condor or
any one else pertaining to Roby racing. Be-
lieve the proposed racing will be VIOLA
tion of the law. Will use every means at my
command to uphold the law"
