Col. Durbin Getting Pointers.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, June 27.-Col. w. T.
Durbin, of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES first
Indiana, returned this evening from Chick
amauga, where he was the guest of Colonel
Gunder and other military men. He was
making a few quiet observations. He will
go to Indianapolis tomorrow to begin work
mcboizing his regiment. Mr.. Durbin heard
that Porto Rico would be the destination
of the ed-and-fifty-eighth and
e-hundred-and-sixtieth Indiana Regi-
ments. They will be taken to Fernandina,
Fla, for embarkation, and from there hur-
ried to occupy the island. Regarding the
new regiment, Mr.. Durbin states that he is
of the opinion it will take some time to or
ganize it. He will insist upon the new regi-
ment getting the very best and only new
equipment even down to blankets. Colonel
Durbin stands in a position to get what he
wants, and he is not backward. He has not
he claims the slightest idea of where the
new regiment is to go. Concerning the
Monticello company squabble, he says he
knows absolutely nothing.

CAN'T WAIT ON BUNDY.
Lieut.. Peterson VIII Now Probably BE
Appointed.


Lieutenant Petersons star is again in the
ascendapcy and the chances are he will be
appointed and commissioned with the rest
of the officers of the Observation-Disclosures
ty-first Regiment. The telegram received
recently by Governor Mount, in which the
United States adjutant general announced
the transmission of telegram to Captain
Bundy notifying him of his selection as
major of the regiment, caused a wavering
for a day in favor of the New Castle man.
Yesterday, however another message came
from General Corbin, saying it would be i'm
possible for Captain Bundy to get here for
some time, which is taken by the state Off
Gals to mean that either communication
with the invading army or transportation
home is hard to get. This practically places
Captain Bundy out of the reckoning, as it
is the policy of the Governor to get the reg
1ment into service as soon as possible. AS
it is composed entirely of green men, much
drill and study must be expended on them
to bring them up to a point of usefulness,
and this work must be done at once Ac-
cordingly the Governor while desiring to
arrange the matter TO the satisfaction of
every one concerned, objects to a lengthy
wait for the proper officers. 1t is conceded
that the regular army officer assigned to
the regiment can be of the most service dur
ing the early stages of the organization,
and, as it is likely that a month will be re-
quired for Captain Bundy to join the regi-
ment, 1t will bring him here too late to be
of the most assistance to the men.
After considering all these things, Gov
ernor Mount yesterday called up Judge
Bundy at New Castle by telephone and
asked If it would be satisfactory to his in
terests if an appointment in one of the flu
ture regiments raised In this State should
be reserved for Captain Bundy. He said 1t
was advisable to have the officers on the
spot at once, and by the withdrawal of Cap
tain Bundy from the matter for the pres
ent the affairs of the regiment would be
greatly QXnQ0itnd. understood the
Governors proposal was received with favor
by Judge Bundy on behalf of his brother,
and that there is little likelihood of the APP
pointment of Lieutenant Peterson being
long DELAYED.

EQUIPMENT IS ARRIVING
NEW REGIMENT WILL NOT HAVE TO
WAIT ON THIS ACCOUNT.
COIored Troops to Be Examined To-
Day-Baths for the Men
While in Camp.

The first step toward the reopening of
Camp Mount for the mobilization OF troops
at the fair grounds takes place to-day.
Early this morning Lieut.. Peterson and his
force of assistants will begin the establish
ment of the quartermaster and commissary
departments in his old stand in the Fine
Art Hall. This means the removal of the
large assortment of provisions, left on his
hands when the first troops left for Chick
amauga, to the camp together with the new
material ordered some days bgo. Yesterday
Lieut.. Peterson was notifedlof the arrival
of 1900 blouses for the regiment and the
entire cooking and eating equipment. All
the material is sent from different arsenals,
the consignment received yesterday coming
from Schuylkill Arsenal at Philadelphia.
The belts and canteens come from Rock ISL
and, ILL.,, while the knapsacks and leggings
are expected to be drawn from the Indian
apolis arsenal. 1t is not known where the
arms are being sent FROM but the notifica-
ton has been received that this equipment
is now on the way, having been ordered
from Washington last Friday By the time
the quartermasters department is we'll set
tied all of the supplies necessary to thor
oughly equip the troops will be on hand
anu ready LOT ulStFlDullOHs
The first troops to begin camp life at the
fair grounds will be the two colored COM
panies The medical examinations of these
troops begins to-day in the Statehouse and
as soon as both companies are passed by
the medical officer they will be mustered in
by Lieutenant Waterman and sent to the
fair grounds.
Lieutenant Waterman has originated
scheme for furnishing baths for the men
while in camp, which has received the ap-
prevail of the Governor and will probably
be erected. The arrangement requires an
elevated tank, which is already on the
grounds, and a line of pipe running through
building near at hand. Every few feet
there are to be connections of cross pipe
which will be perforated to form shower
bath. By means of this apparatus one hun
dred men be furnished bath at one
time at trifiing cost
1t has been decided to use the buildings
formerly occupied by the observation-disclosures
hfty-seventh Regiment, on the east of the
main driveway, which will be ample to
shelter all the men. Everything necessary
to their comfort will be on hand, and it is
expected that after tomorrow there will be
one company arriving each day from some
point in the State. 1t is probable that sew
eral could be brought at one lime, but both
the Governor and Lieutenant Waterman
believe that the men can be much more
easily and comfortably handled if brought
in by small detachments

Township Trustee Makepeace, who has

or appear and show cause why he should
not do so, says the money which should
have been paid to the city long ago was
collected and distributed in the out districts
of the township by his predecessor. Trus-
tee Makepeace says that when he came into
office he found the school fund had dwinded
down to about 1000 and he was compelled
to borrow $1,000 to carry on the schools the
first year. Since he has been in office, he
has paid the city every dollar of dog tax the

Monticello Dimcuities Adjusted.

Monticello got its company into the new
regiment by a narrow margin. For several
days it has been the intention of the Gov
ernor to strike that town from the list of
those furnishing companies because, as it
developed. there were two companies there
and each one claimed the right to represent
the town. A hint from the Statehouse how
ever sufficed to bring about a settlement
OF the internal difficulties, and yesterday the
message came TO Governor Mount that the
two had consolidated and elected officers as
follows: Captain, William H. Guthrie. form
erly major in the Backus regiment; first
lieutenant, Anthony A. Anher; second lieu
tenant, John r. Ward The officers report
sufficient men in the two companies for the
selection of a git-edged company.

The Trust Company's
Efficiency

The following is extract from a let
ter from Hon. w. s. Pryor, for twenty
years judge of the Court of Appeals of
Kentucky, in reference to the services of
trust companies as executor, administrator.
guardian, ETC.:
II was much opposed at one time to the
organization of trust companies with the
power to act as trustees, guardians, admin
istrator etc. for fear 1t might greatly en-
danger the interests of the beneficiaries--in
fact, opposed the passage of the law, but
find from their practical operation that no
better plan could have been devised for the
control and settlement of trust estates They
have all been, well managed. the. estates
of trusts settled more speedily than the
ordinary way, with less expenses, and the
security for the faithful execution of the
trusts made more secure. In the midst of
the past and the present financial troubles
there has been no failure, and they are
regarded now by business men the safest
repositories of trust funds"

to their belief. a total of sixteen companies
was allotted to this State, including the coll
ored contingent. Late developments show
that IL was never intended by the War De-
partment that more than one regiment and
two companies of colored troops should be
raised. Corydon gave out in the start, and
the Governor was for a time under the inn
preston that new town would have to be
named AS the case stands now, both col
ored companies coming from Indianapolis
II Will be necessary to drop another town.
No place will be named until it is ascer-
tanned that all of the towns are able to sup
ply their allotments, as ii is thought there
are likely TO be some weakened ones not
yet reported, whose failure will obviate the
necessity of rejecting any companY.

BRICK FAILS TO COME.
Strect-Car COmpany's Delay ON WASH
ingtOn Street.

According to the announcement of street
railroad official, made last night, it is the
present intention of the company, to have
the paving between their tracks on Wash
ington street, done in the course of the next
ten days, at the outside calculation. The
asphalt paving for the city will be done in
much less time though it will not be fit for
travel for several days after completion.
The delay on the part of the street-car COM
pany is due to the failure Of the supply of
brick for a time. The work, carried on as it
is at present, is small matter, so far as
time is concerned, as ii is simply a question
of employing enough men to do the work.
