Adjusted Out of Court.

The suit of Henry A. Mansfield against
the State Bank of Indiana, the city of
Evansville and the trustees Of the Evans
Vile water works has been dismissed in
Room ], Superior Court. Some time ago,
when 1t was decided to improve the water
works at Evansville Mansfield was invited
to submit q bid. He did so and in a short
time he was informed that the contract had
been awarded TO him at $4,000. He declined
TO accept the contract, saying he had made
no such bid. He had submitted two bids,
he claimed, but both were higher. In sub
hitting his bids Mansfield had put up a
substantial check drawn on the State Bank
as a guarantee that he would carry out his
contract, and Immediately after declining
TO do the work he brought suit to enjoin
the holders of the check from getting it
cashed. The bank was named as a party
defendant. The matter was adjusted out OF
court and the case was dismissed yesterday.

THE FIRES NUMEROUS.
Incendiaries on North Illinois Street
Building Belonging to MOnOn.

Fire destroyed a frame building near the
Monon roundhouse, at Eighteenth street and
the Monon tracks, last evening. The build
ing was occupied by the office and the oil
and supply room for the roundhouse. The
books and some of the office furniture were
saved. The loss is estimated at $500.
In the early morning hours yesterday the
fire department was busy. AT 3:45 O'Clock it
was called to Albert Hutchinson's furniture
store, at No. 342-3is East Washington street.
The blaze soon succumbed to the water, bu
the water caused about $500 damage TO the
stock in the store. An hour later a stable in
the rear of the home of Mrs. 5. j. Pattison,
No. 945 North Illinois street, was found TO
be on fire. When the firemen arrived they
saw two persons hurry away from the sta
BILE. The loss was so. 1t is understood that
the police have been asked TO try TO dis
cover who were the two persons in the
stable. The fire was evidently ~incendiary.
Damage to the extent OF $500 was doae
by fires starting from an ov~erheated stove
in the plant of the Indiana Car and Foundry
Company, at Hadley avenue and the Belt
Railroad.

William B. Ransom has applied to the SUI

pany thrown into the hands OF q receiver.
He complains of William and Benjamin
Stuckenberg, who. with himself, control the
box company. The corporation was organ

oils Cabinet Company property was leased.
The Wire-bound Box Company was also to
occupy a part of the building, and there
was an agreement by which both concerns
were to share in. the profits on some articles
manufactured The plaintiff AYERS that in
June, 1895, he served notice on his partners
that he desired to withdraw from the part

$500. They refused to purchase and he
ceased TO have anything further to do with
the business. although retaining his inter-
est. In November. 1898, it Is averred, the
Wire-bound Box Company fell into litiga-
ton with Jason III. Greenstreet, the owner
of a patent on one of the articles the COM
pany YVES manufacturing. which litigation is
still in progress. The plaintiff thinks the
business in which he is interested should be
closed out, and he wants a receiver APP

WALLACE VS.. HOWARD.
The Former Nindicates the Courage

General Wallace, in his reading on the

Regiment was there, under command of
James II. Lane. afterward senator from
Kansas. and lost heavily in killed and
wounded. holding its position mistaken dur
ing the fight. and when ii moved. moved
forward. ~Eyewitnesses say that no other
regiment did quite as we'll as that. 1t is TO
be hoped hat General Howard will correct
his history. The following extract from a
chapter in the autobiography OF General
Wallace vindicates the indiana troops fully
and positively:

MORE FOR VAPOR LIGHTS

PRICE S1.25 A LAMP.
One Councilman Refuses to Sign Re-
port for This Latest GOuge
on Taxpayers.

The Council committee on contracts and
franchises met last night to consider the
contract made by the Board Of Works with
the Sun Vapor Light Company to supply
two hundred lights for one year. The price
stipulated is $16.25 a light. Last year the
price was $50 a year. Mr.. Golfer explained
that last year the company thought it was
to have opposition and bid too low" Two
years ago the price paid was SIT, he said,
and therefore the price asked this year was
reasonable" Mr.. Little refused to sign the
majority of the committees report in favor
of the contract. He said he did not see why
the price this year should be higher than
that of last year.
All the members of the committee except
Mr.. Scanlon signed a report favoring a
contract to lay a switch of the Belt Rail-
road across an alley near the "Y" east Of
the city.
