amount will be on a percentage OASIS OF
the salary received during the ten years

SCALPERS NOT WORRIED
THEY THINK CONGRESS WILL NOT
PASS An ANTI-SCALPING BILL.
West-BOund Rates ON Cotton Goods
to Be 20 Per Cent.-Mis-
~celIaneous Railway News.

The Introduction in Congress on Monday
of an a~nti-scalping bill is not giving the
ticket scalpers the anxiety it did at the
last session. they being confident that on
the eve of a presidential election such a
bill cannot be passed. In fact, one of their
number said yesterday hat If under the
favorable conditions that prevailed the last
session of Congress such a bill could not
be passed. certainly it cannot under pres
ent conditions. Although is is probable the
American Association OF General Passenger
and Ticket Agents will make some effort to
push forward such a bill. The remedy"
said a passenger official. lays more with
the passenger officials than with Congress.
AS a matter OF fact, many of the Western
roads are supplying tickets to scalpers and
paying them liberal commissions, n late
investigation has shown that some of the
lines are working with scalpers, one a Van
derbilt line" Another drawback is that
some of the prominent railway managers
have become tired Of putting up large sums
of money to fight scalpers and begin to
look upon 1t with suspicion. Another Of
fetal said that the general passenger
agents were not the persons TO go TO Con-
gTess with a plea for a bill to stop ticket
scalping when they will know that If the
enter into an agreement to stop, I'm manner,
supplying the scalpers with tickets, In
thirty days they would be compelled to
close their DOORS"

IN PECULIAR CONDITION.
A Damage Suit Is Left by the Ruling
of Judge Gathers.

A ruling made by Judge feathers in the
Superior Court yesterday evening leaves
the damage suit of Hayte Madison against
the water company ct al. in rather a con
fused condition. Hayte Madison is an in
FAINT n brought suit by his next friend,
his father, against the indianapolis Water
Company and the Webb-Jameson Com
pany for $1,000 damages on account of per-
sonal injuries. The Webb-Jameson Com
pany was unloading some machinery which
belonged to the water company. A horse
driven by Charles Madison took fright and
ran the vehicle against a post which had
been placed in the ground by the Webb
jameson Company in removing the water
~company's machinery from the car. Madi-
son was riding with his wife and child and
all were thrown out and injured. Three
damage suits were brought as a result of
the accident.
The suit in which the child Is plaintiff
went to trial before Judge feathers and a
jury on Monday. Late yesterday evening
the court instructed the jury to find a YER
dict for the water company and for Walter
jameson and Samuel Smith, of the Webb
Jameson Company. This left c. A. Webb
the only defendant. He alone is held to be
responsible because he had charge of the
negotiations by which his company agreed
to move the machinery belonging to the
water company. His firm was employed by
the Buffalo concern which sold the ma
Chinery. The court made this finding as to
the We~bb-Jameson Company because the
plaintiff failed to show that a partnership
exists between Webb, Jameson and Smith.
1t is suggested that an attempt will next
be made TO show that Webb was acting as
the agent of the others in what he did. and
If this is shown the court will instruct the
jury to find for him.

SAD TALE OF WOE TOLD
JOHN e. RHEME MAKES SERIOUS
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIS WIFE.
He AIIeges that She Clicked Him with
a Rope and Read Murder Stories
-Other Court Gases.

John Z. Rheme. by his attorney. George
Carter, filed a sensational suit for divorce
in the Superior Court yesterday against
May B. Rheme. According 10 the COM
plant. the plaintiff and defendant only
LIVED together a short time. They were
married on Oct. IS last, and separated on
Dec. Q. Rheme says the woman made mis-
representations to him as TO her former
life. He says hat after they were mar
ried she went TO a firm which loan money
and borrowed $50. giving a mortgage on
his household goods. He say she repre-
scented to the firm that she was a widow
and had property of her own. A day or
two later. the plaintiff AYERS. sh- went to
another concern and borrowed more money
On the strength of the same story.
1t is charged by the plaintiff that his wife
undertook to have his life insured with a
view to destroying his life and receiving
the benefit of the insurance. The woman.
he says, seemed to take an unusual inter-
est in all the murder cases she heard of,
and in the in which these murders
were committed. Plaintiff charges hat on
one occasion his wife induced him to allow
her TO place a rope around his neck. He
says she then drew the rope so tight that
his breath was cut off, and he became al
most senseless. The plaintiff says that on
Dec. 9, when he returned home in the even
ing, he found his wife absent. On investi-
cation he found that she had deserted him.
He says she went to Chicago. He learned
that in order to deceive the %neighbors as to
her intentions she had her trunk taken out

charges that the woman in leaving robbed
him of $1 in gold, and took with her the
watch and jewelry that had belonged to
his former wife, who is dead.

Interstate Haul Defined.

An important decision was rendered yes
terday by the Illinois State Board of Rail-
road and Warehouse Commissioners at
Springfield in the case of William Atsel.
a Chicago coal dealer, against the Chicago
Terminal Transfer Company. Defendant
charged Atsel regular tariff rates for haul
ing cars of coal purchased by him of w. p.
Rend. which were received by Rend from
points outside the State, and were rebilled
from their original destination TO the place
Of business of complainant. The railroad
company claimed that the haul was a con-
~tinuation of the original Interstate haul.
Atsell insisted the service was simply a
switching service, and that the rate
charged should not exceed the regular
switching charge. The Railroad and Ware
house Commission holds that the interstate
haul ceased when the c~onsignments
reached their original destination; that
when they were rebilled to the complainant
the charge should not exceed the rate pre-
scribed for switching; and that the termi-
nal company charged an excessive rate.

CITY VS..
Major shaler Refuses to Take Up the
~Posts-Other City Affairs.

Major Shaler, commandant at the United
States arsenal in this city, has replied to
the order of the Board of Public Works
demanding him TO remove the posts in the
sidewalk in front OF the arsenal. which
he had placed there to prevent the BIZ
cyclists from riding on the sidewalk. Maj.
Shuler contends that the government owns
to the middle of the street and has a right
TO so obstruct the sidewalk.
The Board of Works in the order to the
major stated that the posts would have to
be removed within five days or the city
would do the work at the expense OF the
government. The time is up Friday and
the board will order mel from the street
department TO dig up the posts. What at
titude Major Shaler will take in the mat
ter when he sees the posts being removed
Is not known.
