A PLACE of MEMORIES.
Comments of a Veteran of the First
Camp Mount.

One who spent all of his time at Camp
Mount when the four regiments of the old
National Guard were encamped there this
spring after the first call for volunteers,
is impressed with many points of differ
ence between sthat camp and the one at
the fair grounds at present There is now
lack of military atmosphere and activity.
This appears particularly at the regimental
headquarters III the administration build
ing. There General Mckee and his staff
were quartered OF course the very presence
of General Mckee reduced calorics until he
went into his room and closed the door,
but the men who were busy there had the
bearing of soldiers. This they had gained
from experience as National Guardsmen.
The corridor now is almost deserted. No
uniformed officers sit in semicircle about
the fireplace. One lone clerk is in the Office
to the right, where formerly the adjutant
OF the brigade kept three or four clerks
working In the rear, where Col. William
M. Wright, brigade surgeon had his quar-
tiers, a young surgeon without uniform
yesterday dosed a ragged-locking soldier
with stomach medicine. Through the win
dows to the north, where formerly one could
see beyond the race track a broad field of
the tents of the old First and Fourth Regi-
ments, there stretched only the green grass.
Even the CHASTITY scatfolding which held the
shelter of the mess tents and stood for sew
eral days after camp broke is gone. The
red stables look across the parade ground
which was made bald of grass by the daily
reviews of four thousand men, but is now
Solidly green again. Out on the veranda,
which once was crowded with ladies and
smartly uniformed officers, a few men in
civilians clothes loll indolently. No guard
tramps TO and fro before the entrance de-
handing to see a pass before the visitor
is allowed to enter. Instead boy leaned
yesterday against a tree in front of the
building with his legs crossed. He seemed
half asleep. and there was nothing martial
about him.
Major Megrew has his headquarters in
the log cabin which a few months ago
served 10 shelter the layout OF Colonel
Harry Smith There is now but one cot in
the room. On the walls are hung portraits
of Major Megrew's family. Major Megrew's
sword hangs above the place where the
festive Lieutenant Colonel Ed Thayer one
time lay on his cot and kicked his heels in
the air. The floor is bare where Adjutant
George Powell once worked hard at his
desk The place no longer sounds in the
early morning with the oh how / hate to
get up, which used to come from under
the blankets covering the rotund form of
Colonel Smith. Nothing is left of all this
but memories and the names of the staff
or the old Second scrawled in pencil on the
door.

EMANATED FROM WALKER.
Reported He viii Not Sit in Marion
County Appeals.

The corporations which shortly are to APP
pear as defendants before the State Board
of Tax Commissioners in appeals from the
Marion County Board of Review, filed by
Messrs. Harrison and Davis. have learned
that these gentlemen were prompted TO
their action by suggestions emanating from
State Tax Commissioner Ivan n. Walker
It is urged by representatives of these cor
porati0nS that IL comes with poor grace
from one who has to sit in judgment upon
an appeal to throw out hints or suggestions
TO bring about the fling OF the appeal. Col
Walker, IL is understood will not sit with
the other members of the board when the
appeals from Marion county are heard, but
this is poor salve for the wounded feelings
of the corporation officers who consider that
they have been singled out as targets for
species OF persecution.
IL has been pointed out as rather singular
that. in view of the wide divergence between
the price the Indianapolis Water Company
Is asking the city for its plant and its ap-
praised value, that Colonel Walker did not
hint little I'm the direction of that corpora
ton 1t has been suggested that rather
pointed questions about gross and net earn
ings and capital stock could be asked water
company officials. 1t IS said the production
OF balance sheets OF the water company s
business for the past three or four years
would show the people OF Indianapolis and
the State OF Indiana some decidedly inter-
eeting facts. especially pertinent in View of
the pending negotiations OF the sale of the
property to the city.

rayIor,s AssaiIant Found.

One night last week man named Taylor,
while standing near the corner of Alabama
and Washington streets. was attracted by
colored man and woman who seemed to
be quarreling. Suddenly the man threw
something at the woman, but missed her.
and the missile. which proved to be a brick,
struck Taylor on the head. He was seriously
hurt and was taken home in an ambulance.
The police were informed that the man who
had thrown the brick was Frank Mays, and
Yesterday he was located in a boarding
house on North New Jersey street, where
he was employed. Patrolmen Holtz and
Wallace went to the house and found the
man. He claimed his name was Howard, in
stead OF Mays until confronted by Detec-
tive Kinney. who has known him for years
The police say the people at the New Jer
sey-street house tried TO prevent his arrest
and endeavored to deceive the patrolmen as
TO the mans whereabouts.

MONUMENT LIGHTS.
If the City Contributes There VIII Be
Thirty-TwO of Them.

Councilman John Grail introduced a reso-
luton in the last Council meeting, asking
tbs city TO erect eight new and modern
electric light poles on Monument Place. and
the matter is now pending in the hands of
committee which is giving it prompt atten-
ton. The plan, according to the wording of
the resolution, sets forth the following
facts: THE State of Indiana has erected
in this city soldiers and sailors monu-
ment, which in design and construction is
surpassed by more in the world and for
which the city is under lasting obligation TO
the State. The monument is not only a
feature OF the city. but has served TO make
the old Circle one of the most attractive
streets in the world. In view Of all this. and
the contemplated visit of the knights Of
Pythias and League of American Wheelmen
to this city it is the duty of the city TO
still more beautify the surroundings of the
monument by proper Illumination. Mr.
Cralls plan Is to place an electric ligh on
each of the eight corners and have 1t sus-
pended from posts of ornamental design
In event of the city doing this, the property
owners have nearly all agreed to place two

Robbed His Benefactor.

About one week ago an eighteen-year-ol
boy appealed to Charles Wall, who runs the
refreshment stand at the aqueduct, with
such tale of woe that employment was
given him. Wall took liking to the lad
and Friday brought him to town and fitted
him out with new suit of clothes and other
articles of apparel. Last night, while Wall
was watching the cyclists as they went
along the towpath, the young man, it is
said, robbed the money drawer, getting
about 1896. The loss was discovered and
as Chicago, and consequently it was thought
that he would go to that city. The trains
were watched, and about midnight the
fellow came and bought a ticket to Lafay-
cite, but was not given an opportunity to
use 1T. He was arrested by Patrolman
Spearing and sent to the station house,
where a greater part of the money was
found on him. The officer says that he con-
feSSeS his guilt.

tive, "a Negro.

The police were yesterday morning called
hurriedly to the home of ]. ]. Richardson,
1896 Central avenue. 1t was reported that
a thief had been captured and Bicycle Pa
trolmen Holtz and Wallace went out to in
vestigate. They found John Shelton, young
colored man, tied to the fence in the back

SUNDAY FIRES.
An Asphalt Plant Ablaxe-Damage at
Kingan's.

A fire at the asphalt plant on Indiana
avenue yesterday caused much more smoke
than would be expected from blaze which
caused only about $50 damage. Many peo-
pie thought that there was large blaze
in that part of the city and went there
in large numbers.
The fire department was called to King
ans pork house last night at about 1880
o'clock and soon gained control of small
fire in one of the smoking rooms 1t was
caused by overheating and gained very lit
tie Roadway against the efforts of the fire
force attached to the establishment, sup
plemented by the city department in very
short time. The loss lies chiefly in meat
injured by water and chemicals and
amounts 10 only about $500. Had the room
been filled to it's capacity. which is 10000
pounds, the loss would have been much
greater.

DURBIN as A BRIGADIER
A STRONG RUMOR AS TO THIS DIS
CUssED AT CAMP MOUNT.
Governor Not Certain He Would Adj
vance Backus If This Report
Should BE True.

Several officers at Camp Mount yesterday
talked mysteriously of "big news will de-
velop to-day" They refused to be more ex-
plicit. After some difficulty it was found
that the officers had referred to a report
that Colonel Durbin is to be appointed a
brigadier general. The report was said to
have come direct from one who had re-
ceived straight" information from WASH
ington. Governor Mount said last night he
had heard nothing of the matter and be-
lieved it to he groundless.
Governor, If this report proves true will
Lieutenant Colonel Backus be made colonel
OF the MISUNDERSTANDING he was
asked. cor will the regular order OF promo
ton be set aside and new man appointed
to command the regiment?"
That is question which would be en-
tirely an after consideration" the Governor
replied.

What Congress Did Not Do.
New York Independent.

AS to sins of omission. as to what Con-
gress did not do, you may get some idea
from the following facts. In the Senate
4,S51 bills have been introduced and in the
House 1871, making a total of 1871 The
Thursday. July y, within twenty-six hours
of the proposed adjournment of Congress.
is as follows: IT'S public bills, 1884 private,
so public resolutions, private resolutions,
a total of GIG laws out of nearly $1,000 bins.
In the House there were 500 reports of COM
mittees on bills and 1,402 in the Senate a
total Of 30s1, showing that only one-ffth of
the measures reported favorably to Con-
gress by committees were really passed.
What would have happened to the country
If these nearly 5000 bills had passed l will
not undertake to say; but 1t is true that
Congress sometimes serves the country as
much by failing to enact as it does by re-
solving to do so.

similar lights in each segment between each
street. This will give a total of thirty-two
lights including those furnished by the
monument custodian.
The plan has the approval of a majority
of the Counciimen, but many of them are
apprehersive as to hcw their constituents
will view tho matter. As one of them said
recently: THE thing should be pushed
through for the good of the city. as ii will
help to make a reputation for Indianapolis
among those visiting the different conven-
tons here this year. There are parts of the
city, though. where the people feel they
should have street lights but are at present
denied them These people may instruct
their councilmen to attend to their own
wants first but the matter should be held
up TO them in a patriotic manner and when
the spirit of the thing is understood, there
will be no opposition to the slight expense
the city will be asked TO bear"

wagon of the Fountain Square Creamery
