INDIANAPOLIS BLACKLlSTED.
Reason Roads VIII Not Make Low
Rates to X. Of p. Encampment.

The cause of the failure of the Eastern
railroads to make a low rate to this city on
account of the Knights of Pythias encamp-
ment. week of Aug. %, has been ascertained
The Eastern railroads are not opposed to
the idea of making a rate as low as one
cent mile, as was supposed, for they are
making this rate for other occasions at the
present time. Indianapolis is on the black
list for the reason that it has no anti
scalping ordinance. Cincinnati had difficulty
in securing a low rate on account of the
G. A. r. encampment and failed to get any
concessions until such an ordinance was
passed Then the cent-a-mile rate was made
without quibbling
1t is impossible for Indianapolis to pass
an anti-scalping ordinance and enfore it for
the reason that it would be null and void
under the State laws. There is a statute
prohibiting ticket scalping, except with ex-
cursion tickets, and there is another statute
rendering void all city ordinances attempt
ing to regulate matters already regulated
or attempted to be regulated by State law.
There seems, however. to be another
power S31 stronger than city ordinance that
tons to time. That is competition. The
Fitchburg road has made a rate of a cent
train to indianapolis by way of the Lake
Shore and Big Four roads from Buffalo.
Thousands of people living within the ter
ritory controlled by the Trunk-line and New
England passenger associations are making
preparations to come on this train Brig.
Gen. Paul M. Foss, of Massachusetts, was
here yesterday arranging for the coming of
the Massachusetts and New Hampshire bril-
gades of the Uniform Rank. He said that
traffic will be drawn from all the competing
lines to this road Unless the other lines meet
the cut One other road had already
nounced the low rate from the New England
States by the way of Washington and the
b. & 0. road to Cincinnati. The situation
has attracted the personal attention of e. A.
Ford general passenger and ticket agent of
the Pennsylvania fnes and E. o. McCor-
mack, general traffic manager of the Big
Four. They will urge the officials of the
two stubborn Eastern passenger associa-
tons. 1t is believed that, with all the pres
sure that is being brought to bear upon
them, the two passenger associations cannot
longer hold out for the higher rate.

DIVIDE as TO BISMARCK
ABSENCE OF GERMAN HOUSE MEN,
BEERS FROM RECENT MEETING.
Believe the Prince Stifed German
Freedom, 1t Is Said-Mr. Rap
papOrt's EDITORIAL.

The proposed memorial service by Ger
man-American citizens in honor of the late
Prince Bismarck has caused some little
difference of sentiment among German or
CARNATIONS in the city. The absence of
Deutsche Haus representatives from the
meeting held at Maennerchor Hall few
nights ago was conspicuously noted, but
this, apparently, was not matter of acct
dent. Invitation was sent the German So
cieties meeting at the Deutsche Haus to
participate. meeting called for the
Deutsche Haus to take action on this in
vitation was attended by two members. 1t
was apparent these societies took little in
terest in honoring the man of blood and
iron.
The societies affiliated with the German
House organization, it is stated, are radi-
cally opposed to the methods put in vogue
in Germany by Prince Bismarck, and be-
lieve 1t was his influence which has stifled
freedom in Germany. For the most part
the members saw no occasion to perpetuate
his memory, and as matter of principle,
says one of the prominent members, they
RETAINED from taking any part in the
Maennerchor Hall meeting although, on
the principle of nihil nisi bonum, they have
refrained from making any public express
sion as to the life of Bismarck.

THE GOVERNMENT WARY.
Claims DIR. Nelson Ross, of Muncie,
Tried to Defraud 1t.

Deputy United States Marshal Boyd yes
terday brought DIR. Nelson Ross, of Muncie,
a prisoner to this city on the charge of vio-
lating the federal postal laws. The arrest
was caused by information sent to the secret
service department, intimating that DR..
Ross had received registered letter con-
tanning money, and after opening it had abb
stracted the money and then returned the
envelope to the postoffice authorities at
Muncie with the statement that il had been
found to be empty. The department claimed
TO have secured testimony going to show
that he had received the money and then
undertook to compel the government to re-
fund the amount supposed to have been in
closed.
He was released on his own recognizance
until o clock when he was given hearing
before Commissioner Moores, who, after
hearing the facts in the case, held him for
Ross is of prominent family and is well
thought of in Muncie.

Heiskell, Mrs. Conrad Schellschmid, Mrs.
Hornaday. Mrs. o. H. Palmer Mrs G. B.
Thompson and Mrs. Langdon. The Govern
or received the ladies most courteously and
they told him of their desire to place an
agent in the field for the purpose of bring
ing home any of the sick and wounded SOL
dlers of Indiana. The ladies will advance
the money to pay for such agent and the
Governor said he would assist them in the
selection of such agent, and would ask
the Legislature TO reimburse the ladies for
the outlay. The Governor commended the
action of the ladies and recommended that
the effort be made to extend the organiza-
ton throughout the State. He also told the
ladies that he would hold himself in readi-
ness for conferences at any time.

From volunteers to ReguIars.

Captain Black. of the United States re-

Couldn't Wait to Be Married.

Considerable amusement was occasioned
yesterday morning in the neighborhood of
the justice of the peace offices on Delaware
street by the efforts of a soldier boy and his
would-be bride to find some one qualified to
marry them. From the courthouse they
crossed the street in their search for jus
tice. They found their way to the Office of
Luke Walpole, but he was attending the
convention. The constable, however, seated
the couple and two friends who were accom-
panying and made a hurried effort to get
the justice. He failed and returned.
The party promised to wait and he started
for another official. Justice Clark was
found and brought to the office. but the pair
had become impatient and had left, doubt
less to find a preacher

The Record Broken.

At the regular monthly meeting OF
the hospital for the insane the report OF
the superintendent showed that during
the month of January forty-si patients
had been admitted to the hospital for
treatment. This makes the total num-
ber who are now undergoing treatment
9UU, and is the largest number which
has ever been reached since the esteb-
lishment of the institution. The affairs
were found to be in prosperous con.
dition, and the management is to be-
congratulated on the good showing
made. One of the most important sub
jects before the board was in regard to
the number of negro patients, which
is unusually large. Steps are 70 be
taken whereby special attention will be
paid to the colored department. in the
future, and the Parker building will
be utilized at once for the colored men.

Big Fire in Aiken.

The Highland Park Hotel, at Aiken,
was burned to the ground on the morn
ing of the 9th. It was one Of the best
known resorts in the South. There
were about 130 guests in the hotel, and
the house was full, in the very midst OF
its season. Boston, New York, Phila.
delphia, Cincinnati, Toronto and
several towns in Connecticut and New
Hampshire furnished the majority Of
guests. The fire broke out about $50
in the little brick building in the rear
of one of the wings of the hotel, where
the engine, dynamo, laundry and dress
ing room for the walters was situated.
This one story brick building was join
ed to the main hotel, big three-story
frame building of 185 rooms, by small
narrow wooden structure which the
guests say might have been chopped
away with axes and entirely cut of the
tre from the hotel il there had been
any intelligent direction OF the efforts
that were made to save the hotel.
The hotel had been entirely refitted fol
this season ut cost OF about $40, 900.
The owners are J. Il. Whitemore, Q,
Naugatuck, Conn; Franklin Farrell,
of Ansonia, Conn, and Fl. 81. Peck.
Mr.. Whitemore owns one-half interest
and the other two one-quarter each.
The company is capitalized at $3.50. 600.
The building was insured for $40, 600
furniture S25, 200, engine, boiler, and
dynamo 50, O05 and from $4,000 to 80
600 was carried in policies on the per
sonal property of different guests. Th'
losses are divided among the leadinf
insurance companies of the country

and most of them for only So, 500.

fire an alteration occurred in which

Sam Jones Hates whiskey !.


The Greenville correspondent Of the
State, reports Rev, Sam Jones as fol-
lows on the liquor question in his leo
ture on "Sancity" in that city few
evenings ago: HE made convincing
arguments. for temperance and prohibi-
tion, giving illustrative instances which
were pathetically demonstratiye OF his
points. Sam Jones hates whiskey ana
the whiskey business all the wsyr
through. His arraignment of the dis
pensary system was probably ths
strongest attack on South Cardinals
liquor law that has ever been heard IN
the State. He ridiculed and condemned
almost without mercy church membsrs
who hold positions in the State's system
of whiskey selling. He is evidently
we'll posted on the subject, and II Sam
Jones could deliver his dispensary
speech in every county in the State the
life of that institution would soon end.
His argument against it was simply
that one which has 80 often been used
and never yet answered: If the State
forbids her citizens from engaging IN
the damnable business, she ought not
to do it herself His eloquence sud
earnestness lent added force to the in-
herent strenghth CT his position and his
remarks were well received by an au-
dience, the majority Of whom are prob
ably not prohibitionists as he is.

THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR
"UncIe George" D, TiI'man Has
Entered the Hena.
SCHUMPERT ALSO A CANDIDATE
Tillman Will Not Only Promise to Re.
duce Taxes, But Will Reduce Them.
Evans for Attorney General.

"Uncle George" D. Tlllman and ex-
Solicitor Schumpert have entered the
race for Governor, as ALSO Mayor b. q.
Evans, of Newbery for Attorney-Gen-
eral and DR.. T. G. White, of Beaufort,
for State Superintendent of Education.
The following has also been given out
in regard to Col. Tillman's plans, says
the State:
He will not, make the race on an anti
dispensary platform, however, as has
heretofore been reported. His position
on the whiskey question will be to al
low each county to select for itself pro-
hibition, high license. or the dispen-
sary, as each sees fit, this, in his judg-
ment, being true local self-government
and one of the fundamental principles
of Democracy. He will also advocate q
change in the present system of county
government and make q determined
fight for the betterment of the public
school system. He will run as can
didate of no faction, but with the hope
that he may be able to re-unite the
Democracy in South Carolina. He will
not only promise to reduce taxes, but
will reduce them. The people are
groaning under this burden.
For Q long time Col. Tillman has hesi-
tated to allow the use of his name, but
it is said that the petitions and letters
from all parts of the State which have
been sent asking him to make the race
have definitely and finally caused him
to decide to do SO.
Some people question on account Of
his age, his ability to make the can vass.
but oil such misgivings, his friends
claim, are without foundation, and the
next campaign will be made hot by his
canvass. He enjoys the best Of health
and is as vigorous today as ever. There
Is no longer any doubt whatever but
that he is in the race to the finish.
There are now four IN the race for Gov
ernor. Ellerbe and Watson have an
nounced their platform already.
