A WARNING TO CYCLISTS
STATE LAW, WITH A PENALTY, COW
ERs RIDING ON SIDEWALKS.
Attorney General Says City Ordinance
Cannot Permit Such Riding-Su-
preme Court Opinions.

The attorney general yesterday rendered
an opinion that is of extreme interest to
everybody in Indiana that rides a wheel In
brief it declares that it is unlawful to ride
a bicycle on the sidewalk under any cir
cumstances, no matter whether city ordi-
nances permit it or not. The opinion was
called forth by letter from +. b. Hart
well, of Huntingburg to Governor Mount,
asking whether the City Council had any
right to pass an ordinance giving bicycle
riders the right to use the sidewalks in
muddy weather. The attorney general says:
in 1859 a law was passed prohibiting rid
ing or driving over sidewalks, which was
amended in 1867, and not having been re-
pealed is still the law. 1t is in the follow
ing language, Sections 1898 and 1885, r. S.,
1894:
Sec. 1885, 1t shall be unlawful for any
person to ride or drive upon the brick,
stone, plank or gravel sidewalk of any
town or villege, or upon any similar side
walk for the use of foot passengers py the
side of any public highway in this State,
unless in the necessary act OF crossing the
same
any of the provisions of this act shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof shall be fined in any
sum not exceeding 3d.
I'm the case of Mercer VS.. Corbin, III
Ind, $50. the Supreme Court decided that
this section applied to and prohibited BIZ
cycle riders upon sidewalks. In the later
case of Indianapolis VS.. Higgins, 141 Ind,
/, the Supreme Court decided that the
word town, as used in the statute, in
cludes cities, and that there being a law of
the State on this subject, City Councils had
absolutely no Jurisdiction over it. 1t will be
obvious to you that the City Council can
not make lawful that which the laws of the
State forbid and any ordinance passed by
a City Council to permit a violation of a
law of the State would, of course. be ut
terly void'

Baths, Tennis Courts, Pigeon Shooting
Traps to BE Added.

The manage mt of the Country Club
contemplates sumo extensive changes the
coming year. In the clubhouse shower
baths and bath tubs will be placed, and

cided upon will be made. On the grounds
a nine-hole golf course will be laid off, four
double tennis courts and three traps for

large veranda surrounding it will be built
near the golf links in order that spectators

at Fairview has been engaged for the COM
ing season to keep a number of boats at the
club boathouse for hire. bridge was
thrown across the canal last summer in or
der that club members riding out the tow
path may cross t. the grounds
This winter large skating pond Will be
made on the club grounds for the exclusive
use of its members. F'orty-eight acres of
land adjoining the Country Club grounds
has been leased for the golf links. This is

THE NOBLESVlLLE JAIL.
Mary j. Hall Complains to State OFF,
GERS of It's Condition.

Mary j. Hall. residing at NASHVILLE Ham
ilton county, called upon the State Board
Of Health yesterday to complain of the un-
sanitary condition of the Noblesville Jail
Mrs Hall has son who is in jail serving
out a fine of $3.50 imposed upon him for
thrashing nine other boys who were making
life a burden to him. Mrs. Hall is woman
of considerable wealth and owns some real
estate in indianapolis but she was so in
dignant at what she regarded as an unjust
fine that she declined to pay it, and the
young man is serving the sentence. She
was anxious to have most of the Hamilton
county officials arrested for keeping the jail
in an unsanitary condition, but 1t was ex-
blamed to her that this was impracticable
and the matter ended in a request from the
State Board to the county health off1cer to
investigate the condition of the Jail.

HAD NEVER SEEN NEGROES.
Children ut Button, with Surprise,
Watched Asphalt Workers.

Henry Eichhorn, of Bluffton, leader on the
Democratic side of the House in the last
Legislature, was in the city yesterday at
tending to legal business. Wells county is
the most hopelessly Democratic territory in
the State and it is said the people do not
allow negro to reside there. This last
summer about two miles of asphalt streets
were laid in Button and the contractors.
Fulmer & Seibert, brought in about sixty
colored laborers.
They were great curiosity to the chill
dren," said Mr.. Eichhorn last evening, and
when they first came the kids would stand
about and watch them work by the hour
listening to their talk with great curiosity
They boarded in a tent, though ii IS pos
sible they might have found boarding houses
that would have taken them. They found
one saloon that would serve them and 1t
did a big business, though they have been
quiet and orderly throughout"

THE ANNUAL LOVE FEAST.
Inquiries from Republicans as to the
Date of 1t.

Inquiries are coming in to Republican
state headquarters, asking when the ON
GERS of the state committee expect 70 call
the biennial love feast of the party. For
a number of years these gatherings, or
conferences. for the good of the party have
been feature of Indiana politics. The onl-
GERS of the committee have never discussed
the question at length, rather believing
that it should be deferred until after the
State elections. 1t is probable that the con-
ference will be called for the last week of
this month, or the first week in December.
1t is usual upon this occasion for the off1-
tee of the work Of the previous campaign,
and to make preparations for issuing the
call for the party reorganization meetings.
1t is also an suspicious occasion for gentle
men with aspirations to serve their coun-
try to let their ambitions in the direction OF

monument against the auditor of state, has
decided that the expense of constructing the

them in position must be paid out of the

FATAL. ACCIDENT.
Henry Welch Run Down on
Broad Street Last Night.
He Was Picked Up Unconscious
and Died Shortly After.
Medical Examiner French Deems an Inquest
Necessary-Autopsy Was Held Today.

Scorching was the cause of fatal acci-
Central Falls. Henry Welch and young
man named James Osfieid We ee coming
from Valley Falls on their bicycles, when
Welch was run into by an unk iown rider,
who did not wait to see the result OF the
collision.
The accident occurred about o'clock on
Broad street, near Chestnut street. After
the accident the injured man lay upon the
street for about twenty-five minutes, sur
rounded by a large crowd of men who
were trying to bring him around.
He was discovered by Officer John
Walsh, who was out on special duty look
ing for the two men who help up Mccall
earlier in the evening. Officer Walsh, as
sisted by Henry j. Lynd and James Osfield
placed him upon an electric car, which
carried them to the corner of Cross street.
From there he was carried to the dismal
quarters in the police basement, where he
was attended by Drs. Mann and Colts
chalk.
Osfield, who lives at the corner OF Cross
and Pine streets, says that ne and Welch
were riding towards this city and when
they reached the hollow on Broad street,
which Is very dark place, some one, whom
he does not know, came along on his wheel
at fast geit and ran into Welch, throw
ing him from his wheel.
The stranger was riding on the wrong
side of the street, and did not wait to see
il Welch was hurt. The unfortunate man,
the physician thinks, struck on his head,
receiving the blow at the base of the brain,
thereby causing an effusion Of blood into
the brain.
When the doctors pronounced the case
a serious one, word was sent to Welch's
wife and mother, and also to Rev. Father
Harty. They all arrived shortly before he
died, and the scene in the horrible place,
called a police ward, was truly pathetic.
Welch did not regain consciousness be-
fore he died.
Surrounded by his wife, mother, the
reverend priest and several others, Welch
Medical Examiner, was summoned, aid
after listening to the details Of the case,
deemed an inquest necessary in order to
determine who was responsible for the ac-
cident.
The deceased leaves a wife and a two
months-old child.
The body was removed from the police
station this morning by Undertaken
O'Neill last evening.
Medical Examiner French notified the
Attorney General that he thought an in
quest was necessary. The autopsy on the
body was held 1T 8 80 this afternoon.
