FOUND BY THE TRACKS.


AT IL o'clock last night Henry ]. Harris,
of Urbana, o., was found lying on the
Union tracks just west of East street. He
was badly injured and was unconscious.
f. CT. Hauk, a switchman, had thrown a
switch and stepped off the main track to
allow the Big Four train on the Cleveland
division TO pass. When he Started back
toward the little shanty at the street cross
ing the rays of his lantern fell upon the
body of a man.. He ~telephOned the police
station and dispensary. The man was
taken to the City Hospital.
From his appearance it was evident the
man is railroader. He had an indentifica-
ton card in his pocket. which gave the
name of Henry j. Harris. and requested
that if he should be injured Mrs. Mary j.
Harris, of Urbana, be notified. There was
a letter in his pocket which explained his
identity. 1t was addressed to r. t. Houch-
en-, indianapolis, and was intended to be
delivered by messenger, the messenger be-
ing III. j. Harris. The letter was written by
the wife of Houchen, Harris's daughter,
who cautioned her husband to see hat
papa does not drink too much
The letter further indicated that Houchen
came here some time ago to work Tor the
Big Four Company. probably as a train
man or in the shops. Harris was coming
TO join his son-in-law and Mrs. Houchen
was to follow in a few days. Houchen is
evidently already in the employ OF the Big
Four, for his wife says she Will come just
as soon as he sends her a pass. In a book
found in Harris'S pocket was a memorial
dunn to the effect that he began with the
Big Four Company at Urbana in August,
1894.
Harris IS a rather large man. He is OF
light complexion and has light hair which
is turning gray. He is about fifty years
old Among his effects, which were taken
in charge by Patrolman Wallace, was an
Elgin gold-hlled watch with a solid gold
charm attached, the latter a gift from
friends in Winchester, Va. He had fifty
cents in money and a pint bottle half full
of whisky. The bottle came from a Belle
fontaine drug store. HarrisS clothes We're
good and substantial. They were evidently
his working clothes and he may have al
ready gone to work and might have been
riding down from Brightwood to the Union
station on the train. He evidently fell on
the train.
At the City Hospital it was found that
Harris'S wounds were not so serious as at
first thought. He had no broken bones.
There is a big wound over the left eye ex-
tending back into the hair. 1t appears to
be very deep, but the physicians do not
consider it serious, as they think the brain
is not injured.
Early this morning the police found
Houchen, who is HarriS's son-in-l(w, at
5e4 West Washington street.

THE ROBIN DISCON SOLATE.
Why .CoIoneI BIZ" Doesn't
Come Home.

Pleasure seekers at Garfield Park may
have seen any ~spring-like day during the
last couple of weeks a disconsoIate robin
redbreast sprinting along over the sod five
or six feet at a lap. stop a moment, take
a peck at a stay insect, then poise his
graceful head and voice a wailing cry. Mr..
Robin is not calling for his mate. He
knows that she was swept away in a storm
not long ago and that her little body is
buried somewhere in the debris of the dam.
After a winter in another land they started
north at the first breath of spring, get
ting to indianapolis about the first warm
day. Beguiled into believing summer was
nigh the busy couple decided to set up
housekeeping and worked industriously for
several days building a nest that promised
to be a work of art. But. alas. The storm
came. Their half-built home was blown
skyhigh by a little whirlwind and lande
in the mad whirl Of the rising torrents of
the miniature lake. Mrs. Robin, regardless
of danger, swept on swift wings after the
treasure, in spite of a wild, shrill note
of warning .piped out by Mr.. Robin. Her
talons grasped the nest and she was about
10 bear IL aloft when there was a wilder
blast, a fierce downpour of water, when
the dam broke, a floating log Hoped over
and bore her away in the angry flood.
Although Mr.. Robin was real sorry to
lose his pretty mate he did not wiring his
claws in anguish.
Little fool! She ought to have known
better. Didn't / warn her? - well, there
are Others, he thought as he arrange his
feathers like the dandy he is.
But he has not seen the others yet. That,
however, is not why he is discOnsOlate;
that is not why he poises his head and
pipes out so sadly. Not at all. He is call
ing for Col. bill? Holloway, secretary of
the park board, friend of all the robins
and other winged things that fit through
the foliage of Garfield Park.
Il wonder why the colonel don't come
back?' soliloquized Mr.. Robin fretfully
last Sunday. .If he could see how blue
this Hoosier sky is, how green the grass
is growing, could see the llacs budding
and get a good. old-fashioned sniff of
Hoosier spring air, Wouldnt ne just pack
UP his buds. leave Washington and that
consulate behind and come back to US In
a hurry? / wonder If Col. Bill VIII bring
that colony of squirrels he promised US
last year? Really, though. / am getting a
bit scared about Colonel Bill l heard
CLYDE Power say the other day Colonel
Bill must b. lost. He saw him in WASH
ington on the day of the inauguration, but
never found him again. He said tracers
had been sent out.
Here Mr.. Robin made a sprint across a
last years flower bed. fetching up suddenly
with a. sharp cry as he snapped his beak
down for a little twig that looked ike a
worm.
Fooled again. BY ginger pop! | hope
Colonel 'BillP have more luck getting OF
flee than do getting worms
Then Mr.. Robin flew away TO the top OF
a big tree.

There was no ball game yesterday at the
Ohio-street grounds, owing TO the rough
weather. and none will be attempted to-
day. Tomorrow, however, the I~ndianap-

be played at third tomorrow. He suffered
an injury yesterday in practice, but it will
not keep him out Of the game. The steam
roller left a little ridge along near second
base. and as Cockman was about to scoop
UP a grounder the ball struck this ridge
and caromed or the players face, cutting a

NEW POLICEMEN REPORT.
Safety Board President Warns Them
AaainS

The necessity for a new police station
was demonstrated last night. when the
twenty-three new Datrolmen reported for
duty for the first time. The roll call room
has never been large enough To accommo-
date the force as IL was, but when a third
more men were added TO the number il was
impossible to get them all in the room with
out removing the chairs. The patrolmen
and sergeants stood in rows until roll call
and the business coming up at the time
was over. This will be the practice until a
new station is built. There are now eighty
five men at night and fifty-four men at day
work. including the captains and sergeants.
Being the first night under the greater
Indianapolis system, Superintendent Col
bert had invited Mayor Taggart and the
members OF the Board OF Safety TO be pres
ent. MIR. Taggart spoke briefly OF the inn

THE MARSHAL BACKED DOWN,
He Arrested Secretary Bruce, o
County Democratic Committee.

Although the city police took charge in
the various suburbs yesterday, Marshal
Tharp, of Haughville, still continued on
duty, wearing his badge and brass buttons.
He met Andrew Bruce, secretary of the
county Democratic committee. in Joseph
keating's saloon, and Bruce allied him "a
vile name. The marshal placed him under
arrest and conducted him to Magistrate
Martins office, where he intended to file
charges against him. When they arrived
at the office Bruce dared the marshal to
file a charge against him and told him II
he did so he would file fifty against him.
AT this threat the marshal changed his
mind about filing against his prisoner and
SO he was released. The magistrate was
very reticent about the matter, but ac-
his office and that they left without any
charges being filed.

WILL NOT APPOINT CROFT.
Governor Wants No Clothing Clerk rs
Factory inspectors.

Governor Mount yesterday made some in
teresting remarks to a delegation of or
ganized LABOR that had called upon him TO
urge the appointment of r. f.. Croft as fac
tory inspector. Grof's occupation has been
that of a clothing clerk and most of his
time has been given to organized labor
work. The Governor listened to what they
had to say in his behalf and was told that
he had been unanimously Endorsed for the
position by the Central Labor Union. He
replied:
Now. I I'm a farmer. and suppose the
Legislature should authorize me to appoint
a man who had no knowledge of farm
ing? Wouldn't there be some indignation
among the farmers If l should appoint a
man simply because he has been going over
the State organizing the farmers into
clubs
The Governor remarked that Croft was q
clerk in a store and he believed that three
fourthS of the workingmen of the State
would indorse his view that the factory
inspector should be a man who has spent
years in factory labor.
