the palsy John Pratt was in Police Court

He is eighty-six years old and was arrested
while wandering around the basement of the
courthouse. He told Judge Cox that he had
been West to look up a son-in-law, but had
been unable to find him, the object of his
search having left the place where he ex-
pected to md him. On making inquiries he
found that his daughter had died and his
son-in-laW was remarked and now lives in
South America and is very wealthy. Mr..
Pratt was formerly a well-to-do man, but
says he has spent all his fortune-about $500
000-in helping this same son-in-law. He
was on his way back to Maryland, but
could get no farther than Indianapolis on
account of his money giving out. All his
relatives are dead, but he was going back
to make his home with his former business
partner. Judge Cox released the old man.
and steps will be taken to help him reach
his destination.

Makers Assembly, has written letter to
the State Labor Commission stating that
he will do nothing further to settle the dis
agreement between the men and employers.
This disagreement is keeping eighteen of

The employers claim that there are troubles
within the glass workers organization
which must be settled before they can deal
with the men. but the men claim that the
scale is all that should concern the en-
ployers. The latter refuse to sign the scale
and the factories remain closed

on hand amounting to S2151.90.

So 1881. Inasmuch as the expenditures for
the last year were in excess of the receipts.
he recommended that the per capita tax be
increased from 80 to 40 cents. This, he re-
ported, would give sufficient revenue to
support the grand chapter. In 1891 there

sTREET-CAR LITIGATION.
Companies VIII Try to Get NobIesviIle
Cases Into Federal Court.


City Attorney Kern is busy trying a case
in the Circuit Court, that was pending
when he was appointed, and until it is dis
posed of. he cannot get to Noblesville to
take action in the street car cases. Mr.,
Kern yesterday spoke Of the status of the
litigation in Hamilton county. Some two
or three years ago John NJ. Butler brought
a suit in Noblesville to eject the Citizens
Street Railroad Company from the streets
and alleys of Indianapolis. Subsequently
the litigation in the Federal Court had to
be disposed Of and the Hamilton county
case was not pushed. Mr.. Kern intends to
file an amended and supplemental COM
plant, making the City Railway Company
a party TO the suit to quiet the city's right
to the exclusive use of the streets and al
leys. 1t is known, of course, that both com
panies will claim some rights, the Citizens
company to remain until 1901 under the
Federal Court decisions, and the City COM
pany under the franchise granted it. Both
contentious are denied by the city.
In the supplemental complaint it will be
set out that the city will be required under
the provisions of the amended New street
car act, to advertise for bidders prior to
1901, in order that there may be no break
in the street-car service 1t is the intention
10 get all the issues involved into the Ham
ilton county cases in order that all ques-
lions involved may be passed on by the Su-
prene Court of the State II is known that
an appeal will be taken to that court no
matter what the decision may be with re-
gard to the forfeiture of the rights of both
companies after 1901.
It was reported yesterday that there
would be an attempt made by the defend
ant companies TO get the Hamilton county
case into the Federal Court. after Mr..
Kern's amended and supplemental COM
plant is filed and the issues are joined.
The Citizens Street Railroad Company. in
particular, it is said. would prefer to have
nothing TO do with the State courts since
the adverse decision that was rendered in
the three-cent fare case.
City Attorney Kern had expected to go
to Noblesville tomorrow TO file the
amended complaint. His presence viii be
necessary, as he expects to ask for addi-
tional subpoenas. Unless the trial in the
Circuit Court In which he is engaged is
concluded to-day, he will have TO postpone
action until next week
