END TO HORD PROPOSITION.
Taggart Administration Will Hardly
Dare FOist 1t ON the City.

1T is my opinion that the attempt to
buy the water works will fall through COM
pletely,' said a city official yesterday, "at
least the attempt made by this administr.l-
tion." This has been the feeling since the
Board of Trade, Commercial Club and citi-
zens have denounced the Hord proposition
and the price it demanded for the water
works Many have made this prediction
since the scheme was first made public
Mayor Taggart says that the report of Ex-
pert Hill is of great value to the city for it
places II in position to make a counter
proposition to the owners of the water
works embodying a price justified by the
result of Expert Hills investigation A
meeting. of the city officials may be held
soon 10 decide on the next step to be taken
None of the commercial organizations has
declared against the city owning the water
plant. but, instead they favor it. They
simply stand firmly on the fact that the
price asked by the Hord proposition is about
81. 900 too high. The various plans sug-
gested of forming a private corporation to
purchase the water works and then resell
1t to the city for a reasonable price and on
reasonable terms are looked on with favor
by those who are interesting themselves in
the matter. However. it is pointed out
former attempts of private corporations to
buy the water works have failed, and even
the Hord proposition. absurd as ii is felt to
be, was secured by efforts of Mayor Tag
CART, and not by volition of the Eastern cap
italists who own the indianapolis Water
Company.

ADJUSTMENTS.
EneIish's-"The carpet-Bagger..

Outside of the war dramas there have not
been many attempts TO bhfld plays around
Southern characters The comedy of sThe
Carpet-Bagger," which that me character
actor, Tim Murphy, brought to English's
last night, for that reason IS something of a
novelty in stage literature. There is the
stately Southern aristocrat. a delicate
natured Southern lady of old plantation
days, the dignified Southern major who
picks a quarrel with the carpet-bag Gov
ernor. an indiscrminate array of Southern
civil officers, all talking the liquid dialect
Of the South and all imbued with the South
ern instinct of honor and bitterly opposed
TO the plundersng carpet-bag regime. This
malodorous memory of reconstruction days
Is reimbodied in the person of Tim Murphy
In the character of a carpet-bag Governor
OF Mississippi. He is a politician of fine
wit and cruel disregard of honest dealings,
uansplanted from the hurry burly of the
North to the magnolia groves of the South.
His only virtue is his fatherhood TO one OF
