JOHN FERRITER is GRANTED A
CHANGE OF VENUE.
Suits Against the Express Companies
Dismissed-The Late %
nor POrter's VIII.

Judge McCray, of the Criminal Court, will
to-day grant a change of venue in the case
of John Ferriter, charged with the murder
of Patrolman Charles Ware. The affidavit
asking that the case be sent from the
county was filed by Attorney John Spahr
late yesterday evening. 1t sets up the claim
that the accused man believes he cannot be
tried impartially in Marion county.
Ferriter was brought into the Criminal
Court and signed the affidavit in the pres
ence of the court and the prosecuting attor-
ney. The State will not resist the applica-
ton for a change of venue. Judge McCray
said he would name the county to which
the case would go this morning. He will
select a county satisfactory to the attor-
neys on each side of the case. Ferriter now
claims he did not mean to reflect on Attor-
ney Spahr's ability as a lawyer when he
stated in court the other morning that he
desired a good attorney. He wants it I'M
derstood he is satisfied with Mr.. Spahr and
has no objection to the appointment of the
court. The case may be sent to Morgan
county. Attorneys Grifhths & Potts will
appear in the defense if appointed by the

The executive committee of the State
Board Of Agriculture was in session all day
yesterday passing upon various matters in
connection with this years state fair. The
committee is composed Of President c.. B..
Harris, of Goshen; Aaron Jones. of South
Bend; Mason j. Niblack, of Vincennes: j.
L. Thompson, Of Gas City, and Charles
Downing. OF Greenfield. Ex-Governor Mat
thewsi made his first appearance as a mem
work yesterday.
In the morning the committee held a SEES
sion at the Bates House with representa-
tiVes Of the Central Traffic Association TO
discuss the matter of rates. The members
asked for the usual rate of one fare for the
round trip during fair week and that ex-
curslons at a cent a mile be run from points
within one hundred miles on Wednesday
and Thursday. The railroad men explained
the red tape necessary To go through to
get these things and expressed the view
that the demands would probably be
granted.
The committee made a visit to the
grounds and passed upon numerous mat
ters OF detail in the arrangements of the
exhibits for this year. In the afternoon a
session was held at the office of the board
in the Statehouse, where numerous bills
were audited and a few questions passed

known as Indianapolis day and Thursday
as Governors day, upon which the staff
will once more shine forth. There is talk
OF making Friday military day and

sion of errors. Opinion per curtain. In an
action by the State to recover taxes as
sessed against an express company which
it has refused to pay, the State is entitled
to recover not only the so per cent. penalty
provided by the act of 1893 relating to the
taxation of such corporations, but the usual
and ordinary penalties that accrue when
and as taxes become delinquent as well.

VS.. Kemper. Reversed, Hackney, ii.
Where defects in a track upon which a
railroad employe is required to work are
open and obvious alike TO him and his en-
ployer, and he voluntarily continues in the
service and incurs the hazards of such de-
fects, he thereby assumes the perils in
cident thereto and cannot recover from his
employer for injuries sustained en- account
of such defects. 2. The complaint must
show, by a fair construction of all its aver
ments, that the servant did not continue in
service with a knowledge of the defects
which caused his injuries. 8. Specific aver
ments of facts showing that the servant
had the same or better opportunities TO
know of defects than his master and that
such defects were open and obvious win
overcome a general averment of lack of
knowledge. A.. One who, with knowledge
of a defect in machinery or appliances, at
temps to do an act which is made danger
Gus by such DEFECT, assumes the risks incl
dent thereto.

Important to Sufferers
HOW o MAY OBTAIN A LASTING
CURE o PILES.
No Surgical Operation. No Pain, Tri-
fling Expense-A Simple. Harmless
Remedy, but 1t Does the Work.

No Surgical Operation, No Pain, Tri-
fling Expense-A simple. Harmless
Remedy, but Ii Does the Work.
There are some people who have piles as
frequently and regularly as other people
have colds.
Any little bowel trouble will bring them
on, any extra exertion, as in lifting, will
produce them, and in fact will often appear
without T. apparent provocation. Piles.
however. are much more serious than a
cold, as the tendency is always to grow
worse until the trouble becomes deep seated
and chronic, or develops into some fatal
rectal disease.
While there are many pile remedies which
give relief, yet there is but one which not
only gives instant relief, but at the same
time makes a permanent cure, and that is
the well-known Pyramid Pile Cure.
This remedy is composed of simple. harm
less, vegetable ingredients, but combined so
effectively and acts SO promptly and thor
oughly tina it cures every form of piles
whether itching, blind, bleeding or pro-
truding.
In long-standing cases the Pyramid Pile
Cure has proven to be the only certain cure
except a surgical operation, and its advan-
tages over an operation are many, as it is
painless. causes no delay or interference
with daily occupation, and last but not
least, 1t Is cheaper than any surgical opera
ton could possible be, costing but a dollar
a package at any drug store.
The cases that the Pyramid Pile Cure will
not reach are so few that physicians are
doing away with operations for piles and
depending on this cheap but effective rem
edy to accomplish a complete cure, and it
never disappoints except in cases beyond
the reach of medical skill.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by
the Pyramid Drug Company, of Albion,
Mich, and for sale by druggists everywhere
at so cents per package. Each package con-
tains a treatise on cause and cures of piles,
together with testimonials from every sec
ton of this country.

GARBAGE COLLECTION.
Bids to BE Received Under the New
S~pecificntiOns O-Day

Bids for collecting garbage and hauling
it to the plant of the Indianapolis Desic-
eating Company, at Sellers farm, will be
received by the Board of Public Works to-
day. The work is to be done for a period
of ten years, beginning July l. Last winter
the board received bids and awarded the
contract to Andrew Hermanny & Co. at
$24, 997 a year. The Council refused to APP
prove the contract, as it provided all gar
bage should be hauled to the d~esiccating
company's plant on Kentucky avenue for
a term of six years. Councilmen said the
desiccating plant ought to be removed to
Sellers farm at once, and refused to tie
the city up in a contract that would keep
the nuisance in the city limits six years
longer. Meantime the board has removed
the plant and advertised for new bids.
Under the new specifications adopted more
garbage will be removed than was con-
templated before. Everything is to be col
lected from residences with the exception
of ashes. No bids had been filed yesterday.
When the contract was awarded before
nine different propositions were received.
Clerk Parker said yesterday they generally
come in at the last moment. The board has
reason to believe the bids will be higher
than before, as all garbage has TO be hauled
to Sellers farm. 1t is believed, however,
that the fact the contracts run for ten
years ought to offset the difference in the
length of the haul.

Mr.. E. II. Dyar, of Detroit, who has been
taking orders for soldiers e~scutcheons in
the state, asked two or three members of
the Indiana C-ommandery what he could do
to show his appreciation of the kindness
of h officers. He was told that if he would
present the commandery al escutcheon of
The record of General r. 5. Foster. to be
hung in it's headquarters it would be very
grateful. Mr.. Dyar eagerly accepted the
oroposition. General Foster was selected
because his record was a very full and hon
orable one and because, serving in the
Eastern armies, his military history is not
so we'll known in Indiana. The work Will
be an oil painting and will be a positive adj
dition TO the treasures of the ~commandery.

GOVERNOR PoRTER,s WILL.
Equal Division Made of His Estate
Among His Children.

The will of the late Albert G.. Porter was
probated yesterday in the Circuit Court.
The will was executed Feb. Is, 1892. in the
presence of Volney T. Malott and Willis q.
Wood. After providing for the payment of
funeral expenses and the administration of
the estate out of the personal estate the
testator provides for an equal division Of
his property among his children. The en-
tire estate, real and personal, with the ex-
ception of realty in Kansas and iowa, is
bequeathed in equal shares to Omer II.
Porter, George T. Porter, Edward Il.
Porter, Annie Porter and Albert b. Porter.
1t was the desire of the testator that the
Kansas and Iowa real estate be held by his
son, George r. Porter, in trust for the use
and benefit of all the other children, with
power to dispose of the property as he
deems best and without application to the
court and without BOND unless absolutely
required by law. George r. Porter was
named in the will as executor of the estate
and filed a bond of $3.50, coo with the Union
Trust Company as surety.

Persons who have been riding on the fast
trains over the Big Four and the Penn
sylvania lines, and at reasonable fares, will
be gratiied to learn that the board of man
ayers of the Joint Traffic Association has
suspended until the taking effect of the fall
time schedule, the ruling which. in sub
stance, was that the roads which run the
fast trains must base their rates on the
much for every hour which its trains were
scheduled above those of the competing
lines. In passenger circles this suspension
of the ruling, which was first to 20 into
effect May l and then changed to June l.
means hat it is a dead issue and that this
step backward will not be taken.

What II. f.. WoIcOtt Says.

Frank E. Wolcott, councilman from the
Fifth ward, says that he has no personal
interest in the improvement of the roadway
Of Indiana avenue, as reported yesterday.
At a committee meeting Monday night
that they were part of a delegation that
called on Mr.. Wolcott to urge him not TO
vote against the Improvement. He informed
them that he favored it, and could not ac-
cede to their requests. In speaking of the
visit they paid to him they said that Mr..
Wolcott owned a branch drug store on the
avenue. and hoped his trade would be bet
ter if the street were improved. Mr.. VOL
colt says that this is false. He formerly
owned the branch store referred to, but
solo ir some time ago.

caught the popular fancy. At each per-
formance the large tent on Illinois street
IS filled to overlooking. and the loud and
frequent applause t~estifies better than
words of the true merits of the exhibit.
n fact, there never has been presented be-
fcre in the city such good and pure amuse-
ment at so low a price. This fact. no doubt.
explains the secret of the remarkable sue
cess of the talented dogs and ponies. Ami
mai lovers find much to admire in the
beauty Of the animals. whilst the student of
natural history cannot but wonder at the
almost human actions of these remarkable
brutes. The exhibition will remain here
the balance of the week. Matinees will be
given daily. commencing this afternoon
at 2:30.
