THE FIGURES ARE ALL IN
SHOWING CONGRESSIONAL VOTE OF
THE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS.
Representative Crumpacker Has the
Largest Plurality to His Credit
The Tabulated Vote.

The work of tabulating the congressional
returns for Indiana was completed by the
secretary of state last night, and, although
the figures are correct, they have been
completed too recently to have allowed
formal verification as yet According to the
figures hardly any Of the previous news
paper computations have been correct in
most of the districts The biggest surprise
to all, however, is that Representative
Steele, who has, up to this time. been con-
coded to have the banner district in the
State in point of plurality, is not entitled
to that distinction. Representative Crum-
packer has a vote to his credit nearly four
hundred greater than Mr.. Steele. The State
house figures indicate that Crumpacker has
a plurality of 4,451, against 4,0S6 for Steele.
A study of the figures also shows that the
Republican plurality for the whole State, on
congressional candidates alone, is 1920
above the nearest competitor-the Demo-
Gratis. The gross aggregate of the Repub-
lcan pluralities in the nine Republican dis
tricts is 1857, while the Democratic plural
tiles in the four districts where Democratic
congressman were elected is 1857, leaving a
vote 10 the Republicans of 1920 above that
of their opponents Following are the fig

APPELLATE COURT DECISIONS.
Rehearing Denied in Two Important
Cases-Tha. Isom FLICK Case.

Rehearing Denied in Two Important
Cases-The IsOm Flick Case.
The Appellate Court yesterday denied pc
titions for rehearing in the cases of the
state against the Wabash Paper Company
and Paul Herring. who are severally
charged with polluting the Wabash river
in Miami county The defendants. who are
under indictment, are located in Wabash
county, but the Appellate Court, in the
railing yesterday held that company and
it's managers are liable to indictment in any
county through which a stream runs which
has been polluted by refuse thrown out
from their places of business. In this con-
nection. it is said. that the Indianapolis
Water Company intends to procure lndlct-
ments in Marion county against the paper
mill at NobeSVille on a similar charge.
The Appellate Court yesterday held that
il is not lawful for a warrant on ind1ct-
to be issued and served on man after a
ment was returned. The decision arose over
the case Of Isom Flick, of Orange county
who in 1896. was indicted for carrying a
pistol, but the warrant had never been Is
sued. During last July, some one discovered
the old indictment and had Flick arrested.
The lower court gave conviction and
Flick appealed. In reversing the decision
OF the lower court, the Appellate Court held
that if it could be shown to be legal for q
warrant to be held for two years, ii would
also follow that it would be legal to secrete
it for fifteen or twenty years and keep a
case hanging over a man for so long a
period that when he would finally be COM
peiled to defend himself, all his witnesses
might have died or his evidence be de-
strOyed

GREEK LETTER SOCIETIES.
Phi Delta Theta College Fraternity
to Meet Next Week.
Special to The Indianapolis journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 1.-THE resident
members of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity
are making extensive preparations to enter
tain the national convention of that society.
which meets here all next week The Phi
Delta Theta is one of the Oldest college
secret societies of Western origin, and has
for the last fifteen years been represented
in more colleges and universities than any
similar organization 1t has sixty-four active
chapters at present, besides thirty-eight
alumni clubs in the larger cities. 1t was
founded in 1S4S at Miami University, oxford,
O., and the coming meeting is a semi-centen-
NAL celebration. Ex-President Harrison was
one of the early initiates at Miami, as was
ex-Vice President Stevenson at Center Col
lege, Kentucky, and ex-Secretary of State
Foster at Indiana University Most of the
distinguished alumni. we'll as the three
surviving founders of the fraternity are ex-
pected at the convention. Sessions are to be
held in the hall of the House of Representa-
tives in the State Capitol, where the OPEN
ing exercises take place on Monday morn
ing. Addresses of welcome will be delivered
by Governor Bushnell and Mayor Black. A
reception is given to the delegates on Mon
day evening and the semi-centennial banquet
will consume most of Wednesday night.
The full mutations bring the total mem
bership of the fraternity up to 10000, of
whom 1000 are now students in college.
Nearly 500 Phi Delta Thetas were enlisted
in the war with Spain, and twenty-five are
now at Manila. The coming convention will
be the largest yet held by the society, be-
cause of the celebration of its senni-centen-
NAL and account of the large member
ship resident in Ohio and Indiana, the num-
Der of Phi Delta Thetas in the latter State
exceeding that of any other college fratern-
ity represented there. The convention ses-
sions promise to be unusually exciting, as
a new constitution and code of laws are to
be adopted and several burning questions of
policy and administration settled. The con-
test for the convention of 1900 is already on,
ST. Louis and New Orleans having been
working for it since 1891, and Pittsburg and
GaIesburg, H., having entered the lists in
the last month. 1t is just developing, how
ever, that Louisville is conducting still
hunt that is likely to upset all previous cal
culatiOnS.

LISTERS HOME FOR DOGS
IT Is OFFENSIVE TO PENNSYLVANIA
STREET RESIDENTS.
Judge Allen Decides Against the In
Judge-AppeIIafe Court.

Albert c. Elster who has, for a year or
more, been maintaining a home for
friendless cats and dogs at No. 1854 North
Pennsylvania street, was fined S. and costs
in the Circuit Court yesterday for violat-
ing an order of the City Board of Health.
Mr.. listers institution is known as the
Frances Power Cobbe Refuge" 1t is named
after a phlanthropic woman living in
Wales, who made a substantial donation to
the establishment soon after it was started.
Mr.. Elster is a special officer for the HUI
name Society. At his establishment on
North Pennsylvania street homeless ca
mines may always find a welcome. Occa-
sionally a stray "kittie" finds it's way to
his place and is cared for. There are times
when the home fairly swarms with cats
and dogs. The lowest and humblest cur of
the street is welcome at the Frances Power
Cobbe Refuge.
Last July some of Mr.. listers neighbors
made objection to the presence Of SO many
dogs and cats in the locality and the City
Board Of Health sent a sanitary officer to
investigate the matter. The result was that
the Board of Health issued an order for
Mr.. Elster to close his establishment. He
did not feel that there was any great dam
age being done to the neighborhood and
continued to take in the four-footed wan
derers. Shortly afterward he was arrested
and the case was set down for trial in the
City Police Court George W. Spahr, at
torney for Elster, objected to trying the
case before Judge Cox and Attorney
Remster was called to the bench. This was
not satisfactory to the defendant and it
was agreed that the case should not be
tried in Police Court, but that there should
be a finding against Elster and the case
would then be taken to the Circuit Court
The witnesses called to testify yesterday
were chiefly women who live in the neigh
borhood of the Frances Power Cobbe
Refuge. Some of them testified that the
place was a nuisance and others had no
complaint to make. There was evidence
from some to the effect that the aroma
from listers dog kennels was very dis
agreeable. One young woman living in an
other part Of the city testified. She said
that she called on one of listers neigh
bors one afternoon last summer and was
so overcome by the odor from the refuge"
that she was compelled to return to her
home and was very Ill for a short time.
One of the witnesses for the defense was
DR.. Roberts, a veterinary surgeon, who
said he did not think the presence of the
Elster establishment was having a bad SAN
itary effect on the neighborhood. But the
court looked at it differently and decided to
assess a fine. He also issued a restraining
order against Elster, but an appeal being
taken to the higher court this order will
not be effective until there is another de-
oiSion

QUARANTINE CONVENTION.
Nee ting in Which the Southern States
Are Greatly Interested.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Nov 1.-THE national
quarantine convention assembled at Ger
mania Hall, this city, this morning, with
125 delegates present and others arriving
with each incoming train. A majority of the
delegates are from the Southern States most
affected by the visitation of yellow fever,
as they were asked to send larger repre-
sentation than the other sections. There are
delegates from the North, West and East,
however The subject with which the con-
vention will deal is one of many perplex-
tiles The question of an efficient quarantine
to protect the States from invasions of in
fictitious and contagious diseases has occu-
pied the attention of legislators and scien-
tiffc men, and it comes up as frequently as
a residential disease appears or reappears
in this country. 1t is for the purpose of ar
irving at some lasting solution of this prob
lem that the Memphis convention was called.
Promptly at 1890 o'clock Chairman j. S.
Menkin of the local committee. called the
convention to order. Mayor j. j. Williams
delivered an address of welcome. Temporary
organization was dispensed with and Gen.
Luke E. Wright, of Tennessee, was unani-
rnously named as permanent president of the
convention, and P. A. Rush, of Sunatobia,
Miss, was elected secretary. General Wright
then addressed the delegates.
The afternoon session was devoted to pre-
liminary work. The following dispatch from
J. A. Porter, secretary to the President, was
SThe President has received your COM
munication inclosing a copy of the resolu-
lions recently adopted by the Memphis Mer-
chants Exchange, in accordance with Wh1ch
a convention has been called to meet in
your city on the 18th inst. 1t affords me
pleasure to assure you of the President $
deem interest in this and other movements
looking to the prevention of the unhealthful
and distressing conditions referred to and
to convey his best wishes for most sue
