good thing right here in Indianapolis"
The good thing" Stout spoke of Is his
saloon and Indoor garden on West Mar

a number Of good things like Stout's in
the downtown district. but his place and
Chris Zimmerman's Atlantic Garden. on
West Washington street. are the largest
and most notorious. Stout's place has a
cement floor and the walls are decorated
with gorgeous hand painted advertise
ments. The room is full of tables and
chairs. and unless the night be quiet the
chairs are full Of men and women drinking.
The women are usually of the lowest class

Petition from the East Michigan.
Street Patrons.

The Board Of Works, yesterday morning.

portion of the city tapped by the East
Michigan-street car line. asking that the pe-
tition be referred to General Manager Nc
Gowan, of the Indianapolis Street-railway
Company with some recommendation from
the board. The board accordingly forwarded
the paper to the company. expressing the
hope that the needs of the people would be
looked after. The petition was as follows:
We. the undersigned, property owners

NO BRIDGE THIS YEAR.


The County Commissioners have not yet
decided to build a new bridge at Central
avenue and Fall creek this summer, and 1t
is likely that the present structure will
have to answer until next year. The board
has about concluded to allow the County
Council to settle the bridge question, and IL
It Is decided to shift the responsibility on
this body 1t is almost certain the bridge
will not be erected at least until next
spring The County Council will convene
on the first Tuesday after the first Monday
in September. County Attorney Brown
some time ago advised the commissioners
to "go slow" and undertake no work where
large expenditures Of county funds would
be involved unless the work was absolutely
necessary. One or two members Of the
board feel that 1t would perhaps be wise to
wait until the council meets and let that
body make an appropriation for the bridge.
Commissioner McGregor continues to
hold out for stone bridge, and is in favor
of the board building one this summer. He
does not want to wait for the County Coun-
Gil to consider the question Mr. McGregor
is having a model made of the bridge he
demonstrating to the other commissioners
the superiority of stone structure. Mr..
McGregor insists that stone bridge may
be built for the same amount that would
be expended on an iron bridge. The COM
missioners yesterday had a drawing of
bridge spread before them on their table
which Mr.. Greer estimated would cost
about 500, 900 complete. This would include
the stone work. The drawing represents a
steel plate girder bridge The ratings
would be of stone. and to those passing
over it the structure would look like stone
bridge. Commissioner Greer thinks that to
build bridge entirely of stone the water
way would have to be widened. He thinks
that a stone bridge should have at least
three arches, and these arches should be
wide enough to permit the water TO flow
freely, else there would be danger Of an
overflow He thinks the present channel is
not of sufficient width to admit of three
arches

MARION, Ind, July 5.-Monday morning
Jack Quincy, the well-known long-distance
bicycle rider of Gas City, started on his
wheel from the City Hall in Chicago to beat
the worlds record to the City Hall in New
York city. Smith. of Chicago. now holds
the championship. having made the trip in
five days seventeen hours and twenty-one
minutes The distance is lob miles, and
some of the country through which the
rider is compelled to pass is very billy:
Quincy was making remarkable time until
he reached the roads in the neighborhood
of South Bend A protracted rain in that
locality had made the roads almost i'm
passable. He was therefore compelled to
give up his trip and return home greatly
disappointed. The executive committee or
the League Of American Wheelmen was d.
recting Gurney's trip. The people of Gas
City took a great amount of interest in
him and subscribed fund for his assist
ance. Quincy had gone to considerable ex-
pense to make the trip. He had arranged
for places to stop at each town along the
road, and at various places persons were
stationed to rub him down and provide him
anything he might desire He therefore
feels the disappointment keenly. If the
weather be favorable he will again attempt
the trip before the summer is over His
friends say he is a wonder and are willing
to stake their money on him. 1t is said
Quincy was making good time when he
ran into the bad roads, gaining about a
mile an hour on the record Of Smith, the
Chicago champion.

specia, to the Indianapolis. Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE. Ind. July 5.-The Fowler
Chase insanity inquiry set for to-day was
postponed until July %. Attorneys appeared
before Judge Taylor and agreed to the
order. The absence of contests on this point
indicates that some sort of compromise
agreement has been reached. The judge In
quired If he should summon the jury Tor
July 20, so as to be ready to proceed with
the case, but no one insisted that this
should be done. On the contrary. it was
said that the jury could be secured after
it should be decided to go ahead. 1t is be-
lieved there will be compromise and that
the question of the boys sanity will be
left out of the local court.
1t is claimed for the senior Chase that he
has succeeded in accomplishing the prime
purpose Of his contest against the Duhmes
in that he has the property in safe hands
and in such condition that no part of the
fortune can be dissipated except by the
consent of the court. which is certainly
not expected to be given. The receivership,
1t Is held, will tie up the young mans pos
session so that neither the elder Chase nor
the Duhmes can get control and what the
boy needs must be secured through APP
plicatioE to the court.
Attorney Kumler, representing young
Chase, has given notice that within a few
days he will ask for an allowance OF $500
month TO provide for his client, this sum
to be exclusive of medical and legal allow
ances. OF course this will be resisted ex-
travagant and unnecessary, and the inter-
esting problem as TO how much young man
with half million can judiciously expend
may have to be determined by the court.
The boys father has not given up his con-
tention that the boy is insane, and the ex-
clusion of medical expenses in the proposed
request from maintenance fund is taken
as suggestive that these are bills of some
consequence. made necessary through expert
attendants and nursing. On one hand ii is
represented that delay Of the trial is agreed
to in the hope that the boy will regain
mental vigor, in which event it is hoped he
will recognize that what now appears as
antagonism his fathers part has been
an effort to protect his property. Mr.. Chase
would be delighted with termination Of
the case that would result in re-establish-
ment of good will between himself and son.

At FIVE,

At 1--WE,
He arose:
And silently
Put on his clothes
Then. creeping downstairs.
He proceeded
To IRE on
The Chinamens wares,
Right under my window.
OF course, after that
Sleep was out of the question.
I'D to noon he had used,
I should guess.
Enough powder
To blow up the Maine.
And was starting
All over again
When he rose, i believe
I omitted to state,
That our Joe was the handsomest boy
On the street.
He was always so neat
And his teeth were so white
And his cheeks shone 80 bright
With the lus:er of health,
You'd have sworn, a brighter nor better
Young man ne'er was born.
But alas, After dinner.
He tired OF the crackers and caps.
And whilst ma and / were trying 20 get
Our regular maps. he sneaked in
And took old cannon. that
/ had forbidden him TO have.
Then he and the boys round the block.
Got together and loaded the thing
To the neck.
At once there was trouble.
Because they all wanted
To light up the wreck
Our Joe being the strongest,
Won out In a walk
Match in hand.
Up he went,
And the fuse
He carelessly bent.
But the powder in some fnocnceivahie way.
Got near the flame $50 we beard Joey say)
And the old thing exploded.
OF course. he will stay
In bed for seven weeks.
But the charm Of his cheeks
And the white OF his teeth.
Are more,
And joey is sore
That he fought with the boys.
Because. had he fought
AS he ought,
And then ran away.
Our joey would still
BE lighting to-day.
