ROAsTs A MUNCIE OFFICIAL.
Mr.. Miller Doesn't Like the City At
~tOrney's Legal Style.

tOrney's Legal style.
EN~Attorney General Miller filed a motion
in the Federal Court Yesterday that con-
tanned the warmest kind of a roast for
the ~painstaking city attorney of Muncie.
The case was that of Muncie against the
Lake Erie & Western Railroad Company,
in which the city seeks to compel the COM
pany to remove a bridge over one of the
streets where it causes the street to sink
and makes d bad mudhole. Mr.. Miller, as
attorney for the company. filed a motion
requiring the plaintiff to conform in franz
ing the complaint to Section 1888 of the Re
vised Statutes of the State, which requires
that a complaint shall be expressed in sim
ple language and without repetition. In a
memorandum, Mr.. Miller says:
The complaint consists of thirty-eight
pages of closely written manuscript record
paper, and is literally stuffed with irrele-
want matter. If the pleader has allowed
any fact in reference to the liNes, angles,
grades, etc, about this highwaysand bridge,
or about the eastern part of the city of
Muncie and Delaware county, to escape. it
has been an inadvertence."

The Big -Four VIII Make Improve
Meeting of 1. a v. Stockholders.

A railway official who has been in service
many years in commenting on the success
of r. "A. Ford as a passenger agent of the
Pennsylvania lines West, said his great
strength is in making the subordinate Off
Gals feel that their service is valuable. tina
suggestions they might make would be APP
preciated, and if worthy of consideration
would receive it. He makes every subor-
dinate official" said the speaker, respect
him and feel that he is their personal
friend. l happen to know something of the
inside of the conference of Mr.. Ford with
his assistant general and district passenger
agents in this city on Tuesday. He had
previously notified Mr.. ockw by letter
to be nome on Tuesday, as he would be in
indianapolis on that day, and he wrote H.
r. Dering, assistant general passenger
agent at Chicago, to be here, and to bring
with him w. w. Richardson, the North
western travelling passenger agent, and
other passenger officials were notified to be
on hand at the exact minute appointed.
Mr.. Ford was in the room where the meet
ing was to be held, and also every subor-
dinate official that had been summoned.
Mr.. Ford strictly enforced the idea with
his associate officials that it is expected
they be at the point designated at the hour
given. Not a man, when he went into the
room where Mr.. Ford was, knew of the
contemplated changes which he had in
view. In a plain, conversational manner he
expressed what he had in contemplation
and then asked the views of the several
subordinates as to the proposed transfers
in the line of promoting, and before fully
determining what to do got their views,
which conceded with his. In comforting
about such matters Mr.. Ford brought
about a friendship between himself and his
subordinates and also between the subor-
dinate officials, which greatly aids him in
carrying out any change or aggressive step
proposed, and L am satisfied that it is no
eXaggeration to say that MIR. Ford and his
are the strongest and most eff
fective force in charge of the passenger
department of any road in this country,
and in the passenger department the same
perfect system of operations exists as. in
any other department. No passenger Off
cial lays out a trip without first notifying
the general office of his plans, and if they
are varied from one day, or even one train,
notice of the change is sent to head

THE SECRET OF THE AGES

And now they come forward and tell
lis that the treasured secret of the
Alchemists has been discovered by the
unhallowed finger Of science. 1t was
only a few months ago that there was
a contrivance Of steel and bamboo, ami
mated by electricity, cleaving the air
above the Bay city. This was bad
enough, and produced a nervous epi-
demic at the affected center that was
scattered broadcast by the fervor Of the
reliable chronicler of the phenomenon.
But now we have some thing better. The
crucible of science having received its
diet of base metals, which it has duly
masticated at a temperature which X
would be profane to mention, was
found to have evolved gold and silver in
shining nuggets. We will spare the
reader any scientific analysis of the di-
gestive process in this crucible; suffice
it to say that the atomic conference of
the mass that is submitted to the evolu-
tionary process passes successfully
through the stages Of liquefaction and
Justification and thence onward to ether
ization.. Here it has attained the
fourth dimension" of the metaphysical
schools, where 1t is taken up by the uni
versal primordial reagent and thence
cunningly precipitated in the form of
the precious metals, by a secret process
hidden away in the heart of the alembic.
But it Is chiefly the effects of this dis
covery upon the affairs of men that now
claims attention. The function Of the
crucible has leaked out through the Gu
pidity of patent office employees and
thus the great secret of the ages will
soon become common property. There
is no power in any government upon the
face of the earth that can restrain
"moonshiner" manufacturers of the
precious metals now. The result will
to 16 nor silver at 16 to l. The metals
will have lost their peculiar value and
no coinage laws can restore them There
will be no form of money possible except
the public credit, and accumulation will
be as impossible as it would be to build
a pyramid of water upon the undulating
bosom of the Pacific ocean. With the
destruction of the principle of accumu-
lation, destitution must soon become a
tradition. But here! Does not this usher
not unthinkingly blundered upon the
consummatio of the age?
The herald., 1897-03-08

10 cause a nuisance with garbage. II
the one may be restricted and regulated,
the other may be. If one cannot be
controlled under the police powers OF
the city none of the others can be, and
we come to the fiat proposition that
city has no police powers for the pro-
lection of its citizens. Such an Idea as
that Is simply monstrous.
The council at its session today VIII
doubtless receive the report Of Its special
COMMITTEES appointed to investigate the
oil nuisance and report an ordinance for
its regulation. The committee, or at
least a majority of 1t. is attempting to
shirk its duty by proposing no means
of stopping the extension of the oil belt
where it would ruin valuable property
No adequate license system is offered
A proper regard for property and per-
sonal rights would require that, before
any man shall be privileged to begin
the first we'll in a city block, he must
file the written consent of the owners of
a majority of the frontage in that block.
This wholesome provision the commit
tee have failed to incorporate in the or
dinance.
The council, which is called upon to
act for the good of the entire city in this
matter. should not adopt the ordinance
without supplying these very essential
regulations. More Of the prosperity of
Los Angeles may be bound up in this
matter than many people imagine. For
a mere temporary advantage to a few
individuals we cannot afford to fritter
away the reputation of Los Angeles as
a safe, healthful and pleasant place of
residence.
If we continue to treat this nuisance
In weak and vacillating way, we may
sometime find that we have traded away
our birthright for mess of-petroleum.
