THEY NEEDED A WITNESS.
Philadelphia Young Man and Kansa >
Young Woman Married Here.

Some amusing incidents occur at the mar
riage license window in the county clerks
office. Yesterday d young man approached
and, with a. beaming smile, asked for
license. He asked for license in bashful
way and was very much disInayed when
"Lep' Daniels asked for his witnesses. He
replied that he knew but one person in this
city, coachman. 1t was explained that he
would have to get some one to certify that
he was twenty-one years old, the young
woman over eighteen and that they were
not nearer related than second cousins.
The young man was very much disap-
pointed, as he said 1T would cause him a
great deal of annoyance to have to get
witnesses. Mr.. Daniels suggested that he
bring his prospective bride into tho Office.
She was fine looking Young woman, twen-
ty-one years of age, while the, young man
said that he was thirty-fOur. lie gave the
clerk a card showing his name to be Sey-
mour Davis an architect OF Philac lphia.
The young woman's name was Clara Vir-
ginia Bell, Of Emporia, Kan. m reply to
a question Davis explained that they bad
known each other for a long time, when
he used to live in Kansas. = way out Of
the difficulty was found ana a license was
granted. Mr.. Davis urged that the story
be kept out of the papers for two or three
days until they could get home. but no
promise was given. He and his bride-elect
hurried away with many happy smiles.

Mr.. YOUNG NOT IN 1T.
Republican County Chairman VIC
tim of the News's Methods.

Republican County Chairman A. A. Young
is the latest victim Of the Indianapolis
News's method of publishing information"
that never existed. 1t attributed to him
remarks never uttered. Yesterday the
News published an article on the candidacy
of Willis A. Kersey, colored man who
aspires to the Republican nomination for
city clerk. 1t announced that secret
fight has been started against Mr.. Young,
who it is conceded will be the new collec-
tor of customs. If there is any secret fight
against Mr.. Young no one has heard any
thing of it except the News, and it Is pre-
sumed the News knows there is such
fight on the theory that no one has come
around to the News Office to say that there
is no such secret fight. 1t is charged that
Mr. Young is favorfng the candldacy or
Secretary Charles Elliott of the republican
county committee. The News continues as
follows: .
Mr. Young says that While it is true
that he favors Elliott for the position, he
has not taken an active part against her-
sey and that the reports circulated against
him are not true, and are entirely mis-
leading"
last night Said he:
Il have never been asked by the News
about this matter at any time ana nave
had no conversation with any reporter on
the subject. 1 have never said to any
one that L favored Elliott for the position.
l have expressed no choice. nor do pro-
pose to take any part in the contest for
the nomination"

COLORED RACE HONORED
DIR. s. A. Ebert is TO BE APPOINT
ED A CONSUL TO BRAZIL.
Assurances Received from Washing
ton-The Fortunate Man Well
known COlored Physician.

DR. S. A. Ebert, a wel-known colored
physician of this city, will be appointed to
a consulship in Brazil at an early date,
definite assurances having been given that
the appointment will be made by President
Mckinley. The consulate has not been
named, but it is understood that 1T is quite
a lucrative one. DR.. Elbert's first prefer
ence was for a home appointment, but last
night to a Journal reporter he expressed
his qualification at the prospect Of going TO
Brazil as a representative of the United
States government. A special dispatch
from the Journals Washington correspond
ent last night confirmed the re-
port yesterday afternoon that the APP
pointment was only matter of few days.
DR.. Ebert has lived in this city for many
years and has been recognized as one OF
the fine products of his race. He is a
thoroughly sef-made man. DR.. Ebert has
always been an active Republican, always
loyal to the party and active in its behalf
in every campaign-natonal state, county
or city. He lives at 1904 (new) North Capt.
toll avenue with his family.
Dr. Ebert was born on the eastern shore
Of Maryland in 1882 and lived in the coun-
try almost to the time of reaching man
hood, when he moved to Baltimore, where
he resided for five years. In 1857 he went
to Ohio and attended the public schools,
finally entering Oberlin College in 1868, re-
manning there until 1886, when he came to
this city and became a teacher in the
colored schools. Dr. Ebert was in Athens
county, Ohio, when the war began and
went to the front with the Twenty-third
Ohio Regiment Colonel Scammon COM
manding. The distinguished Stanley Mat
thews was lieutenant colonel of the regl-
ment and eX-President Rutherford b.
was a private in one of the companies of
the same regiment. DIR. Ebert was with
the regiment till November, when Stanley
Matthews was made colonel of the F1tty-
first Ohio and Ebert went with him. The
young colored man left the regiment at
Murfreesboro Tenn, the latter part of 1862
on account of bad health:
In the spring of 1861 Gilbert entered the
office of Dr. J. II. WOODBURY. and w. c..
entered Indiana Medical College, which was
organized about then, and graduated in 1871
with the first regular class of that college.
Since that time he has been active in the
practice of medicine. In 1872 he was presi-
dent Of the Indianapolis Board OF Health.
In 1881 he was appointed by President Har-
rison a member of the board of pension
examiners, but resigned. He was a candi-
date on the Republican legislative ticket or
1882 which went down to defeat
DR. Ebert was married in 1869 to daugh-
ter of Action Stewart, an old resident OF
the city He has six children living. James
Ebert one of his sons, very promising
young colored physician, died few years
ago.

THE CITY TO BUY BRICK.
Bids Received on Material for South
Delaware Street.

Bids were received by the board yester
day for 900 paving brick more or less,
to be used by the city in repairing South
Delaware street from South to Madison ave-
nue.. The contractors who did this work
refused to make repairs to the satisfaction
of the board. Last winter bids were re-
ceived from contractors for doing the work
but they were all considered too high and
the board determined to do the work under
the direction of the city engineer. The
Roseville Brick and Terra Gotta Company
will furnish standard brick at $3.50 thou
sand and $40 for repressed brick The Clin-
ton Paving and Brick Company bid $3.50 for
brick size and SIPS for block size. The
awarding of the contract was deferred.
After modifying the resolutions for as
phalting New Jersey street from Thirteenth
to Sixteenth street, and East street from
St Clair to Tenth street to permit the new
asphalt company to bid, the board took
final action for these improvements. The
clause of the specifications requiring as
phalt companies to prove that they have
used the material on other streets and that
it has proven satisfactory after heavy wear
was stricken out.
A remonstrance was filed against cement
walks on Senate avenue from Vermont to
St. Clair street. The engineer is investigat-
ing as to whether there are enough remon-
stranceS to defeat the Improvement.
A remonstrance against cement walks on
the north side of Merrill street from East
to New Jersey street was overruled.
