An Instance of Its Management on a
Fay street Case.

Fay street Case.
Two apparent shortcomings OF the po-
lice service were noticeable on Bay street

of considerable criticism. One was on Bay.
near Whitaker street. where an aged sail
or named Murray fell In an epneptic fit.
and the other was bicyclsts riding with
out restriction on the wood walks 'front.'
ing buildings east OF the city exchange.
something seems to have been out of
gear with The ambulances about noon. At
l2;l5 O'Clock a citizen notified the sergeant
at the barracks by telephone to send the
ambulance to Bay and Whitaker streets
where Murray had fallen The man was
suffering intense agony, there was a cash
cut IN his head from the fall against the
curo, and he was laying fiat of his back
on the sidewalk. Merchants in the vicinity
put sacks on the walk for him to lay on
tlli the ambulance arrived. and did all
they could TO alleviate HE suffering. The
citizen who telephoned was told the am
bulance was out but would be hurried to
the scene within a short time. Several
persons stopped, and stretched their necks
looking for it, expecting to be of some
service an helping the fallen man into 1t.
A quarter of an hour later another mes
sage was sent to the barracks, but II was
stated the ambulance was stiA out. re-
quest was made that the colored ambul-
ance be sent. but the sergeant said there
was no horse available for It, Shortly af-
ter l O'Clock Murray had regained con-
seriousness and climbed to his feet For
over an hour he had INSTRUCTED the walk.
to say nothing of his unprtsentable APP
pearance AT 1:15 o'clock the barracks
officer telephqned to the gentleman who
first called for the ambulance and wanted
TO know il the man was stin lying In the
street.
Ex-Police Commissioner Karow decided
to stop the nuisance of bicyclists riding
the walks over Factors Alley while In
office, and directed ex-Chief McDermott
to have the police notify persons not to
ride there. This was done, and bicyclists
dismounted at the bridges and led their
wheels to the buildings

BRIDGE BIDS TOO HIGH.
Opportunity for Collision Under Law,
1t Is Claimed.

The County Commissioners had announced
that they would award contracts for build
ing an iron bridge over Little Eagle creek,
west of the city, yesterday, and conse-
quently several bridge mel were with the
board most of the day During the MORN
ing the contract for the stone work was
disposed of, but in the afternoon when the
bids were opened for the superstructure the
board found they were all too high and de-
cided to reject them. The contract for the
stone work was let 10 William Fife. at 1896
a cubic yard. Following Were the bids on
the iron work: Bracket Bridge Company,
$l,&5; Lafayette Bridge Company, 81, $50;
New Columbus Bridge Company, $1,Sl2; In
dianapolis bridge and iron works. $3.50.
The commissioners say these bids are
much higher than they expected. They will
readvertise Immediately for other bids. The
board thinks that IL could 10 much better
by making private contracts, but this Is
forbidden by a new law, which requires that
bids must be advertised for. Under the old
law the board was not required to adver-
tise. 1t is asserted that there was less OPP
portunity for collision among bidders under
the former law han under the new one. 1t
is further claimed that the commissioners
could have made a private contract for ST.
275 for the bridge over Eagle, whereas the
lowest bid was 81. $50

Customary Parade to Take Place

staff, and by that token it will be made
known TO any fan unable to read the papers
that the Western League season has opened.

will be the guest and, in all probability, the
sacrifice at the feast. Hogriever took out
his final papers yesterday afternoon. and
VIII be In the game in his usual place and
with his usual energy. The game the Bisons
have been producing against such teams as
Fort Wayne, Kokomo and others OF that
calibre. would seem to indicate that Man
ager Allen and his men will open the season
with the thousand mark to their credit in
the percentage column, as the home team
Is In excellent condition. Kahoe will be in
stalled behind the bat at the beginning of
the game, and if his lack of practice does
not work against him will play to the fin
ish. Otherwise. Beville. whose work in prac-
tice and exhibition games has shown up SO
well, will put on the mask.
While there is not a crippled man on the
list, the Bisons' practice in the raw cold
weather on their trip has not put them in
condition and every man is more or less
lame. With the advantage OF the present
higher temperature and the fact that to-day
they begin playing ball for blood it is not
unlikely that the Bisons may be able to ac-
quit themselves more creditably than here
tofore.
The usual street parade and brass music
will be the features OF the opening, the
clubs meeting at the When building at 100
p. m, where coaches will be in waiting.
The line of march will be north on Penn

Market, east TO Monument place and Me-
ridian, south on Meridian to Georgia, west
to Capitol avenue, north to Washington,
east to Oriental and north to ball grounds.
Game will be called at $3.50 as will all week
day games for a while. The batting order
and positions of the home team will be:
Hogriever, right field; Fleming, left field;
Mcfarland, center field; MOtz, first base;
Stewart, second; Babb, third; Kahoe or
BeVille, catcher Allen or Flynn, short;
Scott, Newton, Knepper, pitchers. Manager
Nash did not make up his nine last night,
mainly on account of chickering's failure to
report, and the absence of Eustace, one of
the teams best infielders. who was ex-
pected to arrive last night.
Other opening games will be. ST. Paul at
Kansas City, Minneapolis at Milwaukee
and Columbus at Detroit.

BARBER SHOP CHORDS.
A BarreI-House Quartet That Was
Strong On Them.

An East Washington-street liquid empor-
ium, near the courthouse, boasts OF a lyric
quartet. Some irreverent people call the
liquid emporium a barrel house" and the
lyric quartet q gang OF peace disturbers,
but the opinions of these persons carry no
weight. 1t is the intention of the quartet
to go on the vaudeville stage next season.,
and the four musicians have been practicing
industriously in a back room Of the en-
porium for some time past. The warm even
ings of the past week have been instru-
mental in coaxing the lyric four out in front
Of the emporium, and in consequence the
public In that neighborhood has enjoyed the
full benefit of the harmonic strains.
The singers have confidence in themselves.
In fact, their confidence is so sincere. so
wholesome and withal so beautiful that 1t Is
really touching. The tenor, who is also the
director, is the only one of the four who will
admit that there is any room for improve
ment. The others have no hesitancy in de-
claring that their perfection reached It's
high-water mark long ago and Is now STOP
plne 0 ssid. While car Carefully analyzihnig the
matter, each one OF the Lyrics Is the real
thing--see? There amt one OF us what
doesn't know the right notes ana now TO
sing EN-. The main trouble is KNOWN when
to sing 'em-understand? Its Jest like the
infield of a baseball club-thats what 1t is.
Each teller has got TO know what the other
fellers is goin' 10 do next: You We got 10
nave a system of signals-thats all there Is
about il. Until we get our signals down
jest rie hit We won't be ready to go on the
able pride, II guess We can lay over any
other quartet in town on baroer-saop
chords"
Last night the Lyrics, after refreshing
themselves In the emporium, took their ac-
customed positions out on the sidewalk In
the bright moonlight and opened their music
valves in the usual inspired manner. They
had sung most of the popular songs anu
some songs that are not SO popular: When
