DEATH OF S. K. FLETCHER
FOR MANY YEARS A WELL-KNOWN
BRICK MANUFACTURER
One of the Nine Sons of the Late CAL
vim Fletcher-ReVerses in
the 1903 Panic.

Stephen Keyes Fletcher, we'll known to
his intimate friends by his middle name,
Keyes (Kise), died at II o'clock last night
after an illness of several months. He was
the eighth son of Calvin Fletcher and was
reared in Indianapolis. He and mis- eight
brothers were intimately connected with
the growth of Indianapolis and with the
business prosperity of the city OF his
brothers there survive the Rev. J. c.
Fletcher, now in California; Calvin, In
gram and Dr. w. B., of this city, and AL
bert Fletcher, now of Milwaukee. He was
twice married. The second wife, who was
Miss Maxwell of Chicago and four chill
dren, of Mr.. Fletcher's own family, survive
him. Three of the children are the children
of his first wife.
Mr.. Fletcher was a well-known business
man. He engaged for many years in the
manufacture of brick and brick making
machinery. In recent years, however, he
had been engaged as the agent of a Chi
cago manufacturing house Mr.. Fletchers
illness dates from the panic of 1893 He
was heavy loser financially by many re-
verses in those times and shock after shock
affected his health. About six or seven
months ago it was discovered that he was
affected with softening of the brain, and
although everything that could be done to
check the progress of the disease was DONE
he grew worse and worse until death, which
was not unexpected, came to his relief.
Mr.. Fletcher was q veteran in the civil
war and made q fine record soldier.
He was known by his comrades as a good
such. He lived with his family at 437
North Capitol avenue. He was man of
the strictest integrity and had the respect
of all who knew him. He was ffty-eight

MULE CAR FUNERALS.
Some Sights on Mr.. McLean's Mexican
Street Railroad.

William II. Dye and J. G. Kingsbury re-
turned yesterday from a tour of Mexico,
going as far the isthmus of Tehaunte-
pee. Much of their time was spent in the
City of Mexico, and Mr.. Dye is somewhat
enthusiastic over the capital of the Mon
tezumas The city is fast becoming mod
ernized," said he yesterday. 'They are put
ting in extensive system of sewerage
and draining the neighboring swamps and
lakes. They have electric lights and will
soon have electric cars. 1 had the pleas
ure of meeting Thomas H. Mclean, for
merly general manager of the Citizens
street railroad. He is at present general
manager of the street-railway lines in the
City of Mexico. These were purchased
about year ago by a company of English
capitalists for $7,500,000 and the plant is
even larger than that of indianapolis. Mr.
Mclean was selected to manage the prop
erty for the English company, and since
the property was transferred to the Lon
don people he has made vast Improvements,
extending the lines in every direction and
doing away with many very strange GUS
toms and methods, which were entirely for
efgn to his ideas of progress. The directors
still have their little private cars, which
are always at their command, and the city
wagon, which seems to northerner very
strange. A number of cars are especially
htted for and used by a large per cent of
the funerals in the City of Mexico. 1t
would strike Indianapolis people very
queer to see a black hearse hauled over
the street-car tracks behind two little bur-
rows, but this is a common thing in the
City of Mexico The English people have
just sent over electrical engineer of
great promise who is drafting plans for
one of the finest electric systems this side
of the Atlantic. Mr.. Mclean has obtained
control of a magnificent water fall, several
hundred feet high. near the City of Mexico,
While an enormous figure was paid for
their plant by the London people, Mr. Nc
Lean has been able to pay interest on a
large bonded Indebtedness, meet his divi-
dendS and increase his earnings 81, 500

STATE PRISON CONDITIONS.
Eradication of Vermin-ShOwer Baths
and Water Supply.

One of the directors of the board of con-
troll of the State Prison was in the city
yesterday. In q conversation he expressed
himself as well pleased with the affairs of
the prison. He said:
1T is only necessary for a person who
has been acquainted with the institution in
the past ten years to visit 1t now and he
can readily see the Improvements that have
been made. About two hundred prisoners
are at work cleaning the buildings and
cells. In former years 1t was customary
TO clean the cells by giving them q coat
of whitewash. Two or three coats year
would be given and the result was about
inch of lime on the walls. This would flake
for Vermin. All of this has been Clipped
off and fresh white paint has made the cells
both cleanly and healthy. About two hun
bred prisoners are at work on the improve
ments the new chapel wardens house. ad-
ministratOn building and other needed inn
provements. The chapel Will be ready for
occupancy in about month. The new Sys-
TEN of shower baths has been completed
and il is said that they are the most i'm
proved in use in any prison in the country.
There are sixty baths in a room 40 by 60
feet. In the new administration building
schoolroom will be located. This school is
one of the pet hobbies of the board and
warden. 1t has been arranged so that the
room will be so situated that entrances
from all cell houses can be made.
THE new waterworks plant Will soon be
completed and for the first time iQ its his
tory the prison will have pure water. 1t is
to he taken from the lake $500 feet from
shore. Notwithstanding the fact that many
people suppose the institution earns no
money, 500 600 has been earned in two
years. Another noteworthy thing the prison
has done has been to live inside of the
maintenance fund. This is something that
nearly all sessions OF legislatures bills are
introduced appropriating money to pay off
deficits. All of the improvements being
made at the institution have been author
lied by the legislature.

THE GARBAGE MAN MYTH
HOUSEHOLDER DON'T BELIEVE THE
GENTLEMAN EXISTS.
But He Gets Colonel DOwning's Table
Leayings, Though the Neigh
bOrs Fail to See Him.

The force of assistants in the City Board
of Health Office was kept busy yesterday
attending TO the complaints of people who
have grievance against Garbage Collector
Mccarthy. over a hundred complaints
were registered during the day.
President Morrison, of the Board of
Health, is of the opinion that the contractor
has not enough wagons to carry off the
garbage. He told the contractor so yester-
day. Mccarthy claims to have fifteen wag-
ons at work IN the city and seems to think
this number is sufficient to take care of
the garbage. One of the complaints yester-
day was from Ralph Hill, who said that a
collector passed his house three different
times without making an effort to take up
the garbage. Most of the complaints were
to the effect that the garbage was not be-
ing collected regularly
President Morrison in talk with Con-
tractor Mccarthy yesterday asked him
what excuse he had for collecting regularly
from the home of Colonel Downing and
failing to collect from the house of j. c.
McCutcheon across the alley. The presi-
dent Of the board then frankly told the
contractor that he was not prepared for
the work and intimated that the complaints
would all be sent to the Board of Public
Works. DR.. Clark, of the Health Board,
said yesterday there were enough com
plants now to impose a fine of $500 III the
contractor. DIR. Morrison says he has I'M
derstood the contractor has on no day de-
livered as many as a dozen loads at the
Sellers farm.
Edward Butler of st. Louis, who is be-
hind the contractor, has recently had
talk with the board and stated that the
system of collecting was now being organ
lied and there would necessarily be some
confusion for while. He said 1t was the
desire of the contractor to fulfill every pro-
vision of the contract. People living in the
north part Of the city in parts of Penn
and Capitol avenue are anxiously waiting
for the garbage wagon to put in an APP
pearance. Many people in this section of
was in force dismissed the man who took
up the garbage for 10 cents a week. Now
they are waiting in vain for the wagon.

THE BARTENDER AT KISSEL' s.
His Employer Charges Him with TAX
ing Money from Cash Register.

Charles Emhardt, of 772 South East
street, bartender in the employ of c. Fred
Kissel, was arrested yesterday on charge
OF grand larceny. Monday night when Ks-
sells garden closed Mr.. Kissel says there
was about $75 in Emhardt's cash register.
He and Mrs. Kissel sat outside for a half
hour, leaving Emhardt in the barroom
alone. When they went in to check up the
days business they found the register
drawer contained only about $40. The reg
lister had been rung up to register sales of
1884. KisSel accused Embardt of taking
the money. but he denied it and said some
one must have entered the barroom while
they had it closed when they were closing
the garden: but Kissel says that the money
was there when he returned from the gar
den and is positive it was taken while En-
hardt was in the barroom alone

SWINDLER MUSGRAVE
ParOIed by the Governor, as He Is
Dying of Consumption.

Governor Mount yesterday issued a parole
to Benjamin Musgrave, who is dying of
consumption in the State Prlso1 at Mich
igan City. Nusgrave was convicted five
years ago in the effort to work one of the
most ingenious insurance swindles that has
been tried for years. He was an English
man and had Travelled all over the world,
often resorting to questionable schemes to
raise money. He concocted his scheme FIVE
years ago in Chicago, where he had an Of
flee as a broker without business. He Sc
lected two accomplices, Annie Burton, an
actress, and Charles Mills. His first move
was to have his life insured in favor of
the Burton woman, taking out policy for
1000 in each of seven different companies.
Musgrave then rented an old cabin near
Terre Haute, which he called his shoot
ing box and went there to spend the sum-
mer Through Mills he secured from a St.
Louis physician a skeleton, comparing in
size and stature with himself.
After this skeleton was safely carted to
the cabin, he invited a number of friends
there to drinking bouts and carouses, Mills
always being one of the party. One night
the revelry was not over until o'clock and
the next morning the cabin was found to be
d heap of ashes. Mills was very energetic
in searching for some trace of his lost
friend, and in prodding among the ashes
turned I'm a charred Skeleton The onIv

surance, but the suspicion of the companies
had been aroused by the fact that no but
tons nor flesh had been found. They ar
rested the Burton woman and obtained
from her a full confession of the plot.
Musgrave, after setting fire to the cabin,
had made his way to Chicago, where he re-
manned some time in disguise. afterward

wrote to the Burton woman, who turned his

SHOT INTO A CAR.
Miss HummeI Injured by "A Miscreant
Car Crews Indifference.

Miss Zennia Hummel, a teacher in the
Indianapolis Business College, received a
charge of shot in her legs Monday night
under peculiar circumstances. She and two
other young women We're returning from
the fair grounds on a College-avenue car.
Just south of the Fall creek bridge Miss
Hummel felt a strange sensation ana
thought she had received an electric shock.
At the same time a man sitting behind her
exclaimed that he had been shot. Miss
Hummel rode on to her home, 1875 North
Alabama street, and had a physician called.
He found that thirty-three shot had en-
tered her right leg and half as many the
other. Most of them were removed.
The cause of the shooting is mysterious.
Some of the passengers on the car say that
the shot was fired by a colored man stand
ing beside the track. The conductor refused
to stop the car so that the passengers
could make an effort to catch the man,
but said a road officer could be sent back
to arrest him. The police were not notified.

his wife had been in the habit of visiting
him where he works and as these visits
have come to be an annoyance he asked
that she be restrained.

OLD CLIQUE IN AGAIN
MIR. BAKERS REFUSAL TO GO INTO
CAUCUS SETTLED 1T.
His Vote Could Have Kent the Reform
Element in Control of the
School Board.

The peculiar turn in School Board affairs,
Monday night. which resulted in the cleo
ton of Henry Russo as president and
Michael j. Burns as treasurer, practically
throwing the board back to the old infiu-
ence which controlled it at the time the
people were compelled to arise and turn
the clique out, caused much comment yes
terday among those who have watched the
progress of the boards affairs. 1t has been
generally understood that, as a result OF the
recent election for commissioners, Mr.. Scott
and other officials of the board who have
done much towards putting the board on
better basis and eliminating the question
able methods of past years, would be con-
tinued in authority
The general criticism for the sudden
change has centered against Albert Baker
who succeeded Mr.. McNeely in the Tenth
district. TIL district he represents is over
whelmingly Republican, and he was elected
by the earnest efforts of Republicans who
believed he would vote to continue the pol
icy of the board under the presidency of
Mr.. Scott. Assurances were given before
the election that Mr.. Baker was not sus-
ceptible to any influences of tie minority
crowd. There has been little effort to in
ject partisan politics in the board, but re-
alizing the effect of organization, the re-
formers have in the past made on effort to
put forward strong, clean Democrats in
Democratic districts and equally as good
Republicans in the Republican districts. 1t
happened that the members Of the majority
the last year were Republicans. Before the
election Monday night Mr.. Baker was asked
to go into Republican caucus to deter
mine upon the selection of officers. The
other members were much surprised when
he declined to do so, giving as an excuse
that he wanted TO do away with politics in
the board, and adding that he believed in
harmonlzlng the board. The necessity of
holding a meeting beforehand to center
upon candidates was explained to him, and
he was asked to join in conference if he
felt scruples against entering a caucus of
the party that elected him. A conference
would not be binding. Mr.. Baker declined
to do this, it is stated
The minority, including members left
over from the clique of few years ago,
held caucus, however. Mr.. Russo VINO
was elected president, made frequent calls
on Mr. Baker, SO it is stated. The ma
Jority did not ask Mr.. Baker TO pledge HIM
self TO vote for Mr.. Scott, nor did Mr.. Scott
ask him to do SO; they were willing to have
him vote for any member of the majority.
Had they secured Mr.. Bakers vote Mr.
Russo would not have been elected. Mr..
Robson did not vote for Mr.. Scott on the
first ballot, nor did he vote for Mr.. Russo,
but he would have eventually have voted
for Mr.. Scott. An impression was created
by the reports yesterday that Mr. NOnne-
gut voted for kusse: This Is not correct.
MIR. Vonnegut voted for Mr.. Scott, and
acted with the majority, although he aid
not agree with it as to the re-election OF
Miss kidenour.
