A PHOTOGRAPH CONTRACT.
People Victimized by One of the Mar
ceau 81 Power Agents,

Marceau & Power, photographers on Hi
nois street, recently devised a scheme to Sc
cure customers, and sent agents on d house
toulouse canvass to secure trade. Each Of
these agents was provided with contracts
which they sold for so cents, this amount
being the commission, and which stipulated
that the holder, on the payment of S. ad-
ditional at the gallery, is entitled to one
water-color or sepia, portrait size and one
dozen photos. One agent, whom Power
says is named Weber substituted a Il" for
a IS" and Victimized a number of people by
making them believe they were entitled
to this bargain by paying him so cents and
81 at the office. Mrs. b. M. Culley, of
Marion. O., who is visiting friends here
purchased one of the altered tickets about
a month ago, and three days later received
a letter from Weber stating that he had
made & mistake in the price and would
return in a day or two and refund the so
cents if she did not wish the contract at
$3.50. AS the man aid not return or refund
the money paid she went to the gallery to
see if the firm would make good their
agents contract but this ii refused to do
unless she paid S. as the contract had
read before being altered. She asked to
have the amount SHE had given the agent
refunded by the firm, but this she was told
could not be done, for the contract stated
that it was good only as printed. The alter
alton was made on the contract with a lead
pencil and, unless closely observed, not
easily detected.
To a Journal reporter who called to inves-
tigate the matter Power said that Weber

At the last meeting Of the Indianapolis
branch of the Journeymen Stone Cutters
Association committees were appointed to
prevent the shipment TO the city of stone
cut in the quarries by nonunion stone cut
tiers. Resolutions were adopted setting out
that public officials in this city are letting
stone contracts TO nonunion nonresident
contractors TO the detriment of resident me-
chanlcs; also that the city park commits
sioners have violated their pledge TO resi-
dent union labor by rejecting the bids of
home union contractors and letting the
stone work for the monumental bases in
Military Park. by private contract to a
quarry contractor who is employing nom
union labor, all of which it is claimed Is in
violation of the pledge of both the mayor
and a member OF the board who said the

A FORGER WITH ALIASES.
III. T.. HueghIey Arrested Here and
Taken to Terre Haute.

Chief Of Detectives w. e. Dwyer. of Terre
Haute, made a capture of a man alleged
to be one of the most notorious forgers in
the country in this city yesterday morning.
The man is Harry T. Hueghley, alias Harry
Pierce, alias Harry Heminbury. and with
various other aliases. Hueghley is the son
of a Well-to-do wholesale merchant in Bos-
ton, who sends him a remittance of money
every month. He is young man of about
twenty-eight years, tall athletic and fine
looking, with dark complexion and black
mustache. He began his career of crime
in 1884 and since then the detective agencies
and police departments of the country have
been keeping an anxious lookout for him.
He is wanted for forgeries in Boston,
Washington, Louisville, Terre Haute and
various smaller cities. The immediate
charge upon which he was arrested was
for cashing at the McKeen Bank in Terre
Haute a check for $685. purporting to be
drawn by the Baker, Randolph Company
in favor of c. e. Carton, upon the Mer-
chants National Bank in this city. He
came here about month ago with his
wife. very good looking young woman,
and they boarded for a week at a hotel
on South Illinois street. He got acquainted
with some of the clerks in the pension of
flee and by hiring q few rigs from the liv-
cry stable of H II. Sharpless, on Mary
land street, he got well acquainted with
the liveryman and finally took board at his
house. 1t has been his practice in the past
to thus get into the good graces of some
liveryman in each town that he works and
when he gets ready to go to hire rig
for a couple of days, and then sell it at
his next stopping place Last autumn he
travelled thus from Louisville to Terre
Haute, selling the horse and buggy there
for forty dollars
Detective Dwyer learned of his where
abOuts through a letter that Hueghley had
written to one of his wifes relatives in Illi-
nois. The letter was seen and the chirogra-
ply recognized. He had got an envelope
printed in the corner thus gave a clew to
his whereabouts. 1t was discovered here
that he had got letter from the post Of
flee last Saturday. Detective Dwyer asked
the assistance of the United States mar
shals office and Deputy John Foley ac-
cOmpanied him to the pension office, where
one of the clerks Immediately recognized
the photograph of Hueghley and said that
the man was in the habit of loafng at
Sharpless's livery stable. Thither the Off
GERS went at once and found their man.
They took him by the arm and walked out,
and the crowd about the livery stable sup
posed they were old friends hustling him
off TO take a drink. In answer to Dwyer S
questions, Hueghley partly admitted his
crime by saying he thought he could fix
up that check matter at Terre Haute. He
was taken to Terre Haute at noon and his
wife followed on the afternoon train.

UNION STATION TAXES
COMPANY THINKS THIS BIG BUILD
ING SHOULD BE EXEMPT.
Its Appeal to the Tax BOard-Evans-
Vile az Terre Haute Com
pany Before Board.

During the morning session of the State
Tax Board yesterday II. c. Barlow, so
lcitor of the Evansville & Terre Haute
Railroad Company, argued in favor of a re-
duction in the assessment of that company
and the Evansville & indianapolis, Evans
vile q Richmond and the Evansville Belt
Railroad companies. He argued that the
Evansville Belt Company was merely a side
track and that during the last year the
gross earnings were $4,000 and the net
earnings $3.50, and that the assessment
was 1S.43 per cent. of the gross earnings.
He said the gross earnings of the Evans
vile & Terre Haute We're $1,OOO,O0O, that the
assessment was 5.52 per cent and that the
road had spent recently SO, 600 in as
Stunning the indebtedness of the acquired
properties of the Evansville & Indianapolis
and Evansville & Richmond branches. Six
ty-three miles of the 1O2 of the Evansville
& Indianapolis have not had a train run
over it since last March, and as the law
specifically provides that no imperative
property can be levied on the auditor Of
Sullivan county recently wrote the board
asking if he could levy on the rails of the
Evansville a. Indianapolis for taxes on that
belt Of imperative railroad property. His
letter has not been answered.
A. A. Zion, of the Indianapolis Union
Railway Company, appeared before the
board, and asked for a reduction of the
assessment. The assessment is now 81, 000,-
900 and he asked a reduction of $500 900. In
1895 the assessment of this property was
S6,0O,0 600. The reason for the reduction
given is that the Union Station is assessed
at 100000 and the railroad company re-
gard this piece of property as a public
building erected for the benefit of the peo-
pie and should come under the exemption
of the Constitution The assessment Of
this company has been contested in law
suits a number of times by the State.
The board was to have heard the plea
of the Kentucky and Indiana Bridge Com
pany in the afternoon, but its representa-
day, Aug. d. for hearing the appeals from
the Marion County Board of Review upon
the assessments of the indianapolis Gas
Company the Citizens Street-rairoad Com
pany and the Indiana Manufacturing Com
pany. the appeals against the gas and
street-railroad companies made by
Messrs. +. j. Van Voris and S. M. She
pard on the ground that the assessment is
too low and that of the Indiana Manufac-
turing Company was made by Merrill
Moores the same ground. The board
also received appeals from the Clinton
County Board of Review made by the First
National Bank and Farmers National
Bank. both of Frankfort and the Frank
fort Waterworks Company. They were set
for hearing Aug. 2. The Lebanon Natural
Gas Company also appealed from the as
sessment fixed by the Boone County Board
of Review.

and some OF the other agents had answered
an advertisement Of the firms and that
they knew little about them. and that since
the trouble with Weber all the agents thus
hired had been recalled. He also stated
that though the firm was in a measure re-
sponsible for the acts of its agents,
he hardly thought it ought to be expected
to refund the money collected by dishonest
ones on altered contracts, when at the top
of each are the words, Good only as

NoRrH-sIDE WARDS SOLID.
The Taggart AppOrtionment Has
..Fixed" His Nomination.

The Taggart forces are very active THESE
days, and they include not only Chairman
Spencer and his executive committee but
all the precinct committeeman appointed
by the chairman. The executive committee
held a meeting last evening to see how the
machine was working. This meeting was
to have been held Sunday morning, but
there were so many beer soirees in progress
that the members were too busy to attend;
Last night the committee rooms We're nun
of a noisy crowd, and the crowd in turn
thusiasm. They were so confident of an
easy victory for their man that they were
declaring that no other name would be pre-
scented. Reports were made OF solid dele
cations from all the North Side wards, and
under the apportionment made by the COM
mittee these are enough TO nominate rag
CART so it does not matter much now the
South Side votes. The thing will be settled
before they are reached in the call, and
the superstition is that they will rush to
get on the wagon"

work should be fairly let and the work done
IN the city by resident workmen.
The resolutions charge that the stone
work now under way at the base of the
soldiers monument was let to an outside
nonunion contractor and the stone is being
cut by nonunion workmen in the quarries
and is very defective in many ways. The
same conditions prevailed it is claimed, in
the erection of the former cascades at the
monument. The resolutions 'deplore the
fact that so many men holding positions
of trust seem to entirely forget the pledges
made to organized labor by them, an ex-
ample Of which is seen in the letting of
