Law Governing Street Railways of

Indianapolis, Ind, June IL. - The
supreme court of Indiana has decided
that the three-cent street car fare law
is constitutional. It relates to Indian
apolis only. In the federal court re,
Gently the same law, passed by the last
legislature, was declared unconstitu=
tional and injunctions were granted
by Judge Showalter against its enforce
ment. The state will insist on three
cent fares, unless the street cur COM
pany secures injunction pending APP
peal to the supreme federal court. In the
Hammond cases recently where state
supreme and federal courts differed the
supreme court of the United States held
that it was not it's policy to enter into
conflict with the supreme courts of
states. On this Attorney General
Ketcham thinks that the three-cent fare
law will stand, but that Gye-cept fares
will be collected until Judge Shpwalter
modifies his order, which he will doubt

Som of Georgia Executive Tries to
Marry a 13-year-Old Girl.
Gov. Atkinson, OF Georgia, was called
out of church the other night and In
formed that his l7-year-old son was
about to elope with Miss Ada Byrd,
granddaughter of the southern author
ess, Mrs. Mary r. Bryan. He at once
intercepted the young man and put him
under lock and key, while the girls ia
Their did the same thing for her, and the
couple have been Kept apart thus for
chilly.
The affair has cseated social sem
sation because of several features in it.
John p. Atkinson, the young man In
question, is not yet II years of age,
and his father made him confidential
clerk of the governors Office. The girl
is not more than 10, but well developed.
Young Atkinson secured marriage
license and incautiously took into his
confidence a young man who was also
enamored of the same girl, and who inn
mediately sought the governor and put
him in possession of the information.
The young people declare that as soon
as they secure their release they will
marry.
Early marriage is not new thing
on the girls side of the house. Her
grandmother Mrs. Bryan, the author
css, married at IA. Her mother, who
was Miss Pearl Bryan, married Charles
P. Byrd, of Atlanta, at the age of 10,

Turks Hopeful of Support from RUS
sia-Circular to the Powers.
Constantinople, June 1.-THE Turk
ish government has issued circular to
the powers, with view to obtain their
support In the peace negotiations, but
thus far Russia alone has replied, ex-
pressing the opinion that the questions
Of the indemnity and the capitulation
appear less difficult to settle than the
delimitation of Thessaly. This reply is
regarded In Turkish circles as justify
ing the hope that Russia will support
the retrocession of Thessaly, but this
opinion is not shared by the members Of
the foreign diplomatic corps in this
city.
Paris, June IA dispatch to the
Soleil from St. Petersburg says that
Germany is trying to secure the reten-
ton of the Turkish garrisons in Crete,
the retrocession Of Thessaly to Turkey
and the abolition of the special priv
ileges accorded to Greek subjects in the
Ottoman empire. Russia, according to
the correspondent of the Soleil, refuses
to concede these points. He adds land

cial to the Star from Lenvenworth,

explosion, which all but demolished

houses trembled as If undergoing an

Mrs. Smith had q miraculous escape
from death, the base of the explosion
being directly beneath her bedcham-
Der. Besides being cut and bruised by
broken glass and pieces of flying brio
a-brac and furniture, she was complete
lyprostratedb the frightful shock and
is now in precarious condition. Gov.
Smith and their daughter, Miss Daisy,
occupied rooms on the second floor and
were far enough removed from the ex-
plosion to escape the serious conse-
quences suffered by Mrs. Smith.
The residence is scene of wreckage.
The brick walls are torn and cracked,
one side being almost completely
blown out. The windows are shattered
and the debris is scattered over the
grounds for distance of several rods
The interior is scene of confusion
and destruction with broken brio
a-brac and furnishings utterly wrecked
The report Of the explosion was dis.
tinctly heard in this city, three miles
away, and many of the residents were
aroused by the shock, which was not
unlike the trembling produced by an
earthquake. Veterans in the barracks

panic was with difficulty prevented.
Gov. Smith attributes the attempt on
his life and that of his family as q
direct result of the persecution that has
been waged against him during the
past five or six years. The veterans al
the home are standing by him manful
y.and swear they will lynch thewretch
if he be caught.
Joseph w. Oliver, a dishonorably dis
charged veteran, has been arrested BY
the police in this city. Evidence against
him is strong. He had just come to his
room after being out all night. His
clothes were bedraggled and he said he
was sorry the explosion had not killed

The facilities for conveying and distrib-

new road. No railroad track parallels the
SkidawaY road along its entire length
while the Merchants and Mechanics rail-
road runs close 10 the new road its entire

granted to the county without any other
charge than that of returning 1t to the
railroad company in like order aud condi-
ton in which it shall be received.
IL may also be stated that the new road
will afford to a large number of citizens a
more convenient route TO the town of
Warsaw and its vicinity that is demanded
by a large number of citizens. Its con-
struction and maintenance will cost much
less than the purchase, repair and main
tenance of the route by the Skidaway
shell road, and the commissioners are
constrained by what they deem to be the
public interest TO comply with the appli-
cation of the citizens to establish the new
road rather than to accept the offer Of the
directors of the Skidaway Shell Road
Company to purchase their property.
