MRS. JENKINS LOSES.
1t Il Likely the Ripley County Suits
Will Now BE Dismissed.

The hearing of a case which grows out
of a lynching similar TO that of the Tyler
ease has just been completed in Chicago.
Lulu c. Jenkins, widow of one of the VIC
tins Of the Versailles lynching. which &C.
Cured in 1897, was made defendant to a
petition Of Henry Busching. ex-sherif OF
Ripley county, Indiana, and seven of his
bondsmen, in which they sought the revoca-
ton of the letters of administration that
were granted to Mrs. jenkins in 1896. After
hearing the testimony Judge Batten re-
voked the letters. This probably means that
the damage suits now pending in the Fed
eral Court here, brought by Mrs. jenkins
against Sheriff Busching, his bondsmen,
and fifty members Of the mob, will be dis
missed.
1t is said hat Mrs. jenkins did not care
so much for the money involved as she did
to get the facts before the public. in the
hope that when the sentiment of the people
had been aroused the prosecution of the
follow as a natural consequence 1t was al
legged by the plaintiff that Mrs. Jenkins
had asked for letters of administration
merely for the purpose OF prosecuting
Busching in the Federal Court of Indiana.
The contention of the petitioners in the
proceedings just terminated was that Jen-
kins had no residence In Cook county nor
was his widow a resident of the county.
1t was also asserted that letters had been
granted to the widow in Ripley county. In
diana. where jenkins and his wife had lived
for years.
Smith and Korbly and John S. Duncan,
Of this city, were the attorneys for the
in Chicago. A large number of Ripley coun-
ty people attended the hearing.

CHAMBER SESSION
THE COUNCIL COMMITTEE AGAIN
CONSIDERS THE GAS ORDINANCE.
City Attorney Kern Is Questioned, but
No Gas Company People Are Pres
City Affairs.

Another star chamber session of the COM
mittee on contracts and franchises Of the
City Council was held last night in the city
clerks office in order TO try a second bout
with the gas ordinance. City Attorney Kern
was present but the representative of the
gas companies were not there. The ordi-
nance was read section by section and the
members Of the committee hurled questions
at the city attorney in regard to various
sections of the ordinance. Mr.. Kern fur
nished them with all the advice and know
ledge Of the situation at his but
he stated after the meeting that there was
nothing to give out to the public as the
meeting with the committee was practically
the same as he would hold with a client.
Several members of the committee wanted
to be enlightened on just what power was
at the disposal of the City Council to COM
pei the gas companies to furnish more gas,
and. It is said, the city attorney told them
that the Council had full power to act. 1t
seemed to be the opinion Of the committee
that the gas companies were sending the
gas to other cities because they could get
better prices for it. After Mr.. Kern left the
meeting the committee was in session for
nearly an hour. but one of the members
stated that they arrived at no conclusion as
to what will be done with the ordinance.
Several of the sections were discussed pro
and con and the tbree-ounce pressure and
the rates received some talk but it was de-
cided 10 defer any action until a future
meeting. Next Wednesday night the COM
mittee will hold an open meeting at which
the public will be admitted Representatives
Of the gas companies and State Gas In
spector Leach will be present and give
their stories to the committee: At that
meeting the committee will no doubt secure
enough m to go into another star
chamber session and decide what to do with
the ordinance.

TOUCHED WITH ROMANCE
Is THE STORY OF A CASE JUST SET
tiled BY PROBATE DEPARTMENT..
Corn ID. Council, who Years Ago Es-
capped from the Asylum, Thought to
be Dead, Now in New Orleans.
10 EAST WASHINGTON STREET.

The Union Trust Company yesterday filed
q petition IN the probate department of the
Circuit Court. asking that il be discharged
as administrator of the estate of Cora Il.
Council. In connection with the action OF
the trust company a strange and romantic
story is related. The trust company was
appointed to administer this estate n little
over a year ago. The company undertook
TO administer the trust at the request OF
Col. n. d. Shaw, who Is now dead At the
time the administrator was appointed Cora
d. Council was an absentee. and so certain
was Colonel Shaw that the woman was dead
that he made an affidavit to this effect.
1t appears that about eighteen years ago
Cora b. Council escaped from the Central
Hospital for the Insane, where she was an
inmate. Her father, Thomas w. Council,
lived at Columbus, Ind. where the daughter
was raised. Colonel Shaw became inter-
ested in her through her sister. who was his
daughttr-in-law. After the woman's escape
from the asylum. no trace OF her could DO
found. and as the years passed her family
and friends began TO believe she was dead.
When her father died she became a benef-
ciary OF his estate Colonel Shaw made
the affidavit stating the belief that the wom-
an was dead I'm absolute good faith. The

was turned over TO the company by the
Clerk OF the court at Columbus.
The trust company held this money until
about two weeks ago. when word was re-
ceiyed from Columbus that Cora Council
was not dead and had been located in New
Orleans. Further inquiry on the part of the
trust company showed that this was true.
1T appears that the woman, after escaping
from the asylum. wandered about the coun-
try and finally regained her reason. At
present she il "A sister in a Jesuit institu-

nized the name. He could not believe that
Cora Council was living and decided that
the writer must be an impostor. Judge Kol-

wrote 20 her at once and received a reply.
A considerable amount Of correspondence
then followed ard was sufficient 10 convince
the attorney that Cora Council was still
alive. The woman'S relatives In this city
were not aware hat she Is still living until
appraised OF the fact by the trust company.
The money the trust company had been
holding for the missing woman was sent
&c her a few days ago. Only the court
costs were deducted. the trust company
charging nothing for its services.

Worthy of Note.

The New York Sun, in well-consid- cred article on mismanaged corpora tons, uses the following pointed lan- guage: ''lt is idle to inyeigh against these and other abuses in corporation management The small stockbolder. like the citizen of nation, must sub nit to the control of the rulers, whom by his vote, he assisted to place in of flee, and his only remedy if he is dis contented with their conduct is to sell his stock He is only a fly on cart wheel, and must go around with it. Hence, before buying the stock of any corporation an investor should inquire not only into its value in other respects but into the character of the men who direct the corporations affairs. If they are men with good reputation for hon. esty as well as ability, they may be trusted, but if they are commonly re- pu.ed to be tricky and interruptions, putting money under their control is n risk which only the prospect of large profits iustifes. /"
