Town Board, at a called meeting last night.
passed a resolution fstvoring a bid of the
Indianapolis Light and Power Company to
furnish ten arc lights of sixteen candle
power, to be distributed about the streets
of the suburb at $S5 light per year. The
contract which will be made with the COM
pany is for a period Of five years, with
franchise of thirty years for the commercial
lighting of the residences and business
houses of the town. A second resolution
was passed requesting the c., Fl. & d. Rail-
way and the p. c., G. & St. l.. Railway to
furnish electric lights at certain railroad
crossings. Ten lights will be tried, and if
the number is then not thought to be SUI
fcient more lights will be added. The COM
pany says it can put III the system in thirty
days time.
Considerable time after the board had
passed the light resolutions was taken up

B.BROWN THE MAN
HE Is CONDUCTING STATES INvEsTI-
CATION OF VERSAILLES LYNCHING.
Has Two Agents in Ripley County
Judge New in Town, but Fails 10
Call ON Governor.

The attorney general has employed Jason
B. Brown. ex-member Of Congress from the
Third district to conduct the special in
vestigation into the Ripley county lynching.
This fact has been kept secret by the at
torney general and the Governor but il is
evident that the people interested at the
other end of the line are aware of the ap-
pointment. Brown has long borne the repu-
tation of being one of the best criminal
lawyers in the southern part of the State
and is now practicing at Seymour 1t is
understood that he has employed one or
two special agents in Ripley county to
learn what they can and lay their testimony
before the grand jury. The attorney gen.
eral is not paying close attention to the
matter. being engaged in preparing trial
where large private interests are at stake.
: Judge Willard New, the presiding judge of
the Ripley county circuit, was at the Grand
Hotel yesterday in company with Charles
H. Wilson, of Versailles, an ex-member of
the Legislature, who is currently reported
to know a great deal about the lynching
Wilson was elected to the Legislature of
1895 and was conspicuous for his opposition
to the Nicholson bill. Judge New was asked
what further steps could be taken in the
matter.
None that know Of" he replied THE
grand jury made a thorough and I believe,
conscientious effort to discover the lynchers
and failed. They failed because public SYM
pathy was with the lynchers and nobody
would testify against them. When they
made their report l questioned them again
and from their answers was satisfied they
had done the best they could. They had
examined 106 witnesses in their effort to
identify lynchers, and failed to elicit any
information" Judge New said that he had
no expectation Of calling the grand jury to-
gether again. He said that he did not come
up to consult with the attorney general or
the Governor and had not gone near
them. He returned home at o CLOCK.
Mr.. Wilson is even less inclined TO TAX
than Judge New. Il do not see what the
Governor has to do with the process OF the
courts" he remarked when told that 1t was
the understanding here that the Governor
would do all he could toward Furnishing the
lynchers. Il was trying case at YER
sailles that day. he said, and when 1t
became known that the men in Jail were
the ones who had tortured an old man and
woman by standing them on a red-hot stove
the feeling ran so high that 1t was plain TO
be seen that the people were determined
to put a stop to these outrageS. People
outside cannot well appreciate the circum-
stances that existed, nor can they very
well understand the feeling that exists now
that the mob cleaned out of the county
some very desirable criminals. Yes, about
twenty or thirty of the gang have lett the
county since the tragedy 1t is a common
report that they were warned to leave and
needed the warning.

PatroIman Cox Resents Some Insult
ing Remarks.

There has been rumor that patrolman
running in the Sixth district became in
volved in quarrel and fight over remarks
that were made about the suspension of
Thomas f. Colbert, former superintendent
of police. Walter Cox. the patrolman in
question, says that the rumors of the af-
fair have been greatly exaggerated He says
there was no fight. According to his YER
sion of the affair he was in saloon on
North Senate avenue last Thursday even
ing when a man, whose name ne could not
give. made some very insulting remarks
about Colbert, calling him number of vile
names. Cox says that the man addressed
his remarks to him and he could not well
let them pass. He resented what was said
and told the man that it was cowardly
and ungentlemaniy to say such things about
a man of Colbert's ability and character.
Cox says there was no. ching more in the
occurrence than this. He says no blows
were struck. Cox is a Republican. He has
been on the force for seven months. He
says that he had known Colbert for long
time and liked and respected him and
could not stand by and hear him abused.

IN THE SEVENTH WARD.
Mr.. Benedfct's Surmises Why the News
Supports Taggart.

supports Taggart.
A successful Seventh ward Republican
meeting was held in Reichwein's Hall cor
ner of Noble and Market streets, last night.
Most of the men in the large crowd were
colored voters, although a number of white
men were present. William Taylor, a col
ored man, committeeman Of the Twelfth
precinct, presided. Speeches were made by
Octavius w. Royal, Newton J. Mcguire.
Charles P. Benedict and William Long. Dur
ing the evening the Marion Glee Club ap-
peared and rendered a number of catchy
campaign songs.
Octavius w. Royal was the first speaker.
The young colored attorney made number
of good points and his efforts were literally
applauded. Concerning the stress that is
laid on the claim by the Democratic press
and speakers that this has been "busi-
ness administration" he declared that it has
been the business Of the administration to
fill the pockets of those in authority. For
one thing, it had developed great talent
for creating Values" notably the case
of Mayor Taggarts bog lane az White
river, good for nothing bat u ~ frogs
ana snakes" but which mas Ye-c appraised
for ''propagating lands at S3cc al, acre by
the park assessors. He dcclal 81 that In
dianapolis is not ready for a Tweed ring
II the present administration were cOntin-
ued, he said, it would become a veritabe
Tweed ring and should be crushed out before
that time He spoke of the great love that
Taggart has suddenly acquired for the col
ored people and said that he was suspicious
of it. He urged the colored men not to be
betrayed by q glass of beer.
Newton j. Mcguire dwelt on the tendency
of Democratic administrations to create
debts and went into the history of the debt
making in this city. He showed how that
party, during its term in Office from 1873 to
1876. thrust debt of 81. 209, 100 on the city
which made Ii necessary for the Legislature
to amend the Constitution so as to prevent
municipalities from going into debt more
than 2 per cent. of the value of taxable
property. 1t became necessary, he said. Ito
throw a constitutional safeguard around
our Democratic friends to keep them from
involving us hopelessly in debt" Mr.. Ma
guire told how the present administration
has placed a debt of $4,000 on the taxpay-
ers. He discussed other issues OF the cam
paign at length. He was followed by Charles
p. Benedict and William Long. The former
told why the News is supporting TaSgart.
Last spring the building Inspector con-
demned the News building. For months it
was prCpped up. Afterward the paper was
not compelled to tear down its building, but
was permitted to repair the old building,
thereby saving 5000 to $4,000. Mr.. Long
contrasted the conditions of the negro race
ia southern Democratic States with the con-
ditions here. He declared that similar con-
dltions would obtain north of the Ohio were
it not for the TACT that there are too many
Republicans
throughout the meeting much enthusiasm
was displayed and at its conclusion three
cheers were given for the speakers and the
Republican ticket.

AFTER "sNAP JOBS"

There was a great press of men hunting
'snap Jobs" about the basement of the
courthouse yesterday afternoon, and it was
almost impossible to get into Street Com

the assault on the commissioners office AT
o'clock the pressure was so great that the
police were called to keep the men in order
Under the 7Taggart policy of stretching the
money as far as possible and giving few

to keep them in line the Pogue's run and
street-repair gangs are shifted the middle
of the week. The men who were in the base
ment yesterday knew that a new gang
would be put to work to-day and they were
all clamoring for tickets directing the swell

ing AS the campaign nears it's close those
who like to get at the public funds realize
that there are but a few days left them,
and they are growing desperate. This cOndi-

for the street commissioner. 1t is hard work
to make the Pogues run JOB last. III
