Evansville Men Gratified.

c. j. Murphy of Evansville. secretary of
the State Board of Commerce and treas urer
of county and township reform commission,
left for home last evening. Mr. Murphy ex-
pressed his satisfaction at the result of the
lahors of the commission and the harmony
which prevailed. The Business Mems AS
ISOLATION of Evansville, he said, sent out
letters during the summer to the CONNER
cial bodies in the State asking for coop
GRAFTON in making reforms in county and
township government, laying special stress
upon the proposition of the separation of
the legislative, executive and judicial func-
lions of local governments to bring them
into harmony with the charters of Indian
apolis, Evansville and Fort Wayne 1t is a
source of qualification to the business men
of Evansville to see this work well adj
vanced with such fair prospects of being in
corporated in the statutes of the State. The
general impression seems to be that the at
titude assumed by the township trustees
will tend to populariZe the reform meas
ures. Speaking of the work of the COM
mission, Mr.. Murphy said that it's investiga-
tions had laid bare many of the defects of
the present system.

DEAL
NEGOTIATIONS REPORTED ON BE
TWEEN TWO COMPANIES.
Citizens COmpany'S Suburban Fran
chises and Rights Above Old
Seventh Street.

Several days ago attention was called to
the fact that the administration believed
steps would be taken by the Citizens Street
railroad Company and the City Railway
Company to get together as a result of the
decision of the Supreme Court in favor of
the latter. There was talk about the City
Hall yesterday of a movement of that sort
being on. Controller Johnson said that while
he had heard that there were some sort of
negotiations between the companies, he cid
not know what they amounted to nor upon
what basis an agreement might be reached
'Is there anything in the contract of the
City Company with the municipality that
would prohibit It selling out?' he was
asked.
Nothing at ALL" said Mr.. Johnson. eff
any one could be found willing to assume
the City Companys franchise and carry out
it's contract with the city the company
would have the right to SELL
Mr. Johnson seemed to have some doubts
as to whether any new company would care
to undertake this. considering the great OBJ
legations it would have to assume, first. in
the way of refunding street improvement
charges, amounting to quite large sum-
which Mr. Johnson said had been estimated
at from 100000 to $5,0O0000, and the exact
amount of which is not known.
Then" said Mr.. Johnson, the Citizens
Company has franchises for West Indian
apolfs Brightwood, Haughville, the Ma
tional road east and west, granted by the
County Commissioners, as we'll as territory
north of old Seventh street in which the
old company acquired rights before that
territory was annexed
The position of the old company being so
strongly outlined and its rights above old
Seventh street and in other directions
named unlimited as to time Mr.. Johnson
seemed to believe there might be serious OBJ
stacles to an agreement being reached. He
appeared to believe, however, that negotia-
lions are actually on without having specific
knowledge to that effect.

CHECK FOR $1O7,1O2.55.
Government Pays Indiana Part of
War Debt.

Governor Mount received the first INSTALL
ment of the repayment of the money adj
vanced by the State for equipping troops for
the Spanish war yesterday morning, when a
United States warrant for $1O7, 1926 was
found in the mail. The paper is deliberately
engraved, and is drawn by the War Depart
ment on the United States subtreasury al
Cincinnati, to the order of the Governor
The amount covered by the warrant repre-
sents slightly over half of the total claim OF
the State against the government on ac-
count of the late war. AS soon as the war
rant shall have been cashed the money will
be turned into the general fund, as stated
in the Journal some time ago, for the re-
dempton Of the educational fund bonds now
held by Purdue and State Universities
These bonds amount to about 100000, and
if the government pays the remainder of the
bill as promptly as it did the first install
ment, the whole amount will be wiped of
the debtor side of the slate during the com
ing year.

the building. The motive power and every
thing necessary for this is already there
ana the dynamos only are lacking. An APP
preparation viii also be urged to prevent the
decay of the building. both inside and out
side
Final action has not yet been taken re-
garding the soldiers monument, but the
committee has been informed that it will
require 100000 to furnish the candelabra
and TO replace some of the cement paving
with stone The committee is assured that
this will be the last appropriation asked
from the State, as the monument is self
supporting.
AS yet the committee has not decided
what amount should be appropriated for the
institutions and is at work on this at the
present time. Unofficially, the members ex-
pressed the firm conviction that State that
is paying its state debt at the rate of $1,000
coo year should furnish adequate quarters
and provide generously for its unfortuna ties.
Thus far. no dissenting voice has been
heard. The committee finds that the appro-
priations have been reduced from year to
year on many of the institutions. As an ex-
ample. the Central Insane Hospital is cited.
In 1889. when there was an average daily
attendance of 1,540.5, the appropriation was
$260eO: This amount was continued though
the daily average increased, until 1899. when
the appropriation was made $4,000, al
though the daily average had risen to 1878.
The last appropriation was $225OO0, although
the daily average had risen to 1908 The
per capita cost in 1889 $3.50. AZ, and in 1897
1t was $l5lO6 This year the per capita cost
at the Southern Hospital was $3.50; at the
Eastern $l7S and at the Northern. 1856. 1t
is believed by the committee that proper
care and nourishment cannot be
given on such small appropriations
as this. The average per capita
cost of other States is as follows: Michigan,
S19250; New York, $204.3 So; Massachusetts,.
slT2.16; Wisconsin, 1892. 40; Ohio. $1S0.31. The
Soldiers Home, apparently. costs the State
$50 man. but the United States govern
ment pays the State 500 year for every
man who has been there over a year, leay
ing a balance of but $50 for the State to pay.
The general government also pays Purdue
University $4,000 year because Of the eX-
pertinent station located there.
What the total amount of appropriations
recommended will be- the committee will

THE ESCAPE OF WITS.
Not Due to n Tip from Deputy secre-
tary GOnser.

Deputy Secretary of State George w Con-
ser returned from his Christmas visit to
Marion yesterday. lie was asked concern
ing the statements coming from Marion and
printed in an Indianapolis paper that he
had told of the facl OF requisition having
been asked for TIE return of Marion's de-
faulting city clerk, John Watts, from a
neighboring State. mr. Gonser, after laugh
ing at the report as absurd. said that in
his opinion the blame for the failure to
apprehend Watts should be properly charged
to Sheriff Bradford and not 10 the secretary
OF states office. According 10 Mr.. Gonser' s
story the sheriff made but one visit TO this
as given out from Marion. He came to this
city last Saturday, secured the completed
papers and returned to Marion on morn
ing train In company with Mr.. Gonser, who
was going to visit relatives. Instead of
atarting at once to apprehend his man Sher-
III Bradford. it is said, kept the papers in
HIS pocket for two whole days without any
attempt TO reach the place where Watts
was supposed 10 be In hiding. When he did
20 Watts was gone and no trace could be
found Of him. or that he had ever been there
The town in which Watts was supposed TO
have been in hiding was Newvile Richland
county, Ohio. and, according TO MIR. Gonser.
If Watts ever was there the dilatory tactics
Of Mr. Bradford would have afforded ample
opportunity for ham to have made his es-
cape.
The frst publication that Watts was To-
ca ted was published in the Journal I'm a
telegram from it's Marion correspondent.

TO BUY PROPERTY.
The First Baptist Church Trustees
Given Power.

At largely attended meeting of the First
Baptist congregation last night the trustees
were empowered to purchase any real es-
tate that they may deem necessary for the
purpose of the church. This power is given
the trustees in order that they may buy the
Spann property adjoining the present church
site if it can be had at figure sufficiently
reasonable. The Spann estate asks $27, 800
for the property. but the trustees are I'M
willing to pay this much. If the big struc-
ture contemplated by the church is erected
it would be necessary to take i'll the property
on the north, unless the trustees should con-
cIude that it would be better to build Il
church farther up town.
