A ZIG SER FOR LUCK. J
The Thought to De Murderer of Louis

Tuesday afternoon Deputy Con- stable Root. Johnson went to AZ thaimer to serve some papers on witt esses in an arson case =to come up in d magistrates conr.in this city As be jumped of the train the negro officer was dam6foa0ded to run upon Robert McNeitl, ne. gro whom the officers of the county have been looking for for several weeks, as It is believed that he is the murderer of Louis Atkins aud baby, killed ca Mr.@ Ga6e Meyers place in this county few weeks ago. Johnson told him to ''eome long with him and brought McNein to tbe city ou the next train and locked him up.
 Johnson was then given warrant oy Constable Stewart for the arrest of Anderson Erwin, another negro, who is believed to be an accessory to the crime. Erwin lives in the country and Johnson was given or ders to go cut aud get him. He had not more than left Stewards office to get his horse, when he ran upon Erwin apoa the streets, and .tuk him m Erwin. too, was landed behind the bars, and the eolored dep utY afterwards remarked to Mr Stewart, It show an de trafe, a njgeer fer luck.

same description from other towns, where he is wan ted for murder and on other charges, but we were so very late in getting the news of the Cooper's Island tragedy, and the incIemency of the weather, gave us a setback, which Wilson and the negro Berey Johnson doubtless took advantage of and are many miles away from this section of the state by now. Wilson always ear- ried winchester, that is a peculiar habit he has and which IS mentioned in all descriptions seat us.a He is said to be a desperado and on one occasion in Newport, Ark after the officers had surrounded him, shot his way to liberty. He is a bad character and its not known exactly how many crimes he has committed.

 Maj Spellman opened the ball and in twenty minute talk he impress ed his listeners with the importance of voting for H. [. Rammel for gov ernor and his speech made quite an impression on all present.
 Hon. Louis Altheimer followed Mi. Spellman. He kept the audi ence spellbound and administered blow after blow to the Bryanites, their folly and false doctrine of free silver and the so called paramount ssue"-imperialism. Ia concluding he paid a glowing tribute to tbe star spangled banner, wherever planted to foas until eternity.
 A. M. MiGdlebrooks, the great negro orator, was the next and last speaker, and for one hour and thirty minutes be poured out bis eloquenee. In his address he proved that he was thorough student of rhetoric. Several times during his speech did his audience go wild with enthusi- asm and every one on the grounds claimed that such ao oratorical treat Linwood never enjoyed before. At the conclusion of Middlebrooks talk tte crowd sang the "Star Spangled Banner" Marching Through Geof- giae and other patriotic soEgs.

HEARD At THE HOTELS
SAMUEL GoMPERs. PRESIDENT OF
AMERICAN FEDERATION, HERE.
He Will Attend the Miners Conven-
tion-Benfon County Politics.
Corridor Gossip.

Samuel Gompers, president Of the Ameri-
lean Federation of Labor, arrived in the
city last night from New York and went
at once to the Grand Hotel. where he re-
tired to bed early, pleading indisposi-
tion and fatigue. Mr.. Gompers is here to
attend the miners convention, as, aside
from his position with the federation. he
is high in the councils of the miners. 1t is
understood from labor leaders with whom
MIR. Gompers has talked that there is a
sentiment in the organization in favor of
returning the headquarters to this city
from Washington, as the results il was
expected to accomplish by having the head
quarters located in Washington have not
been realized. In addition to being near
the seat of legislation, it was thought that
the press facilities would be better than
in Indianapolis, but this sentiment is mot
shared by the officers of the Typographical
Union and the United Mine Workers.
1t is said the experience of the Fedora
ton in Washington has been that the fact
of its location i'm Washington has been a
detriment instead of a benefit to it, as,
when it was desired 10 push through any
particular labor bill. it was found that
no representative or senator considered the
Federation headquarters as being any par
ticular constituency of his. whereas other
organizations located in other cities could
hand their bills TO their representatives
and secure their active support.

THE TALBOT PROPERTY
Is DECIDED UPON BY THE ART AS
ISOLATION COMMITTEE.
II Will BE Purchased IL Certain Con-
ditions Are Complied With
Price Not Known.

A meeting of the Indianapolis Art Asso-
citation was held last evening in the direc-
tors room of the Indiana National Bank,
at which none but members were admitted.
1t was definitely decided to purchase the
Talbot property at Sixteenth and Penn
sylvania streets, providing certain deals
can be made with the city and adjacent
property owners.
The chief condition is the closing of the
small street just north Of the Talbot prop
erty and extending east and west between
Pennsylvania and Meridian streets. The
other conditions are the purchase of what
ever property is desired north to Eighteenth
street at a suitable price.
The finance committee consisting of Vol
ney T. Malott, d. p. Erwin, A. +. Stanton,
c. z, Coffin, and c.. e. Holenbeck, was en-
powered TO effect the sale. providing 1t is
possible To secure the vacation of the
street and purchase the property desired
i'm addition to the Talbot tract.
When asked what property 1t was desired
to purchase III. III. Hanna, chairman of the
meeting. said 1t was not desirable to say
anything about the matter at present, In
view of the intended negotiations nor would
he say what price the association intended
TO pay for the Talbot property.

Conditions at Hammond.

M. M. Towle, capitalist, promoter and
lawyer, of Hammond, was at the Denison
last night He said. although he favored
the Hammond harbor bill last winter, he
is more in favor of making the river running
through the city navigable than of dredging
Wolf lake. Mr.. Towle, who owns several
square miles of land in and around Ham
mond, was interested in bringing the Con-
key printing plant TO Hammond to the ex-
tent that he sold some of his land to an
Improvement company which had the mat
ter in hand. He only received a part of
the money promised for the land and when
the boom died out he sued to establish
his right to the ownership of the tract,
parts of which had been sold or given to
other people in the meantime. The case
is not settled as yet. Mr.. Towle says there
is no boom in Hammond now. but that
business is good and the city is growing
satisfactorily.

HE PROMISED BIG LOANS
IN THAT WAY A. +. LOVELESS
PLACED MUCH INSURANCE.
The Union Life Insurance Company
OF This City Was His Employer
Some Months Ago.

a report received from Matthews, Ind,
says that A. F. Loveless, an insurance
agent of this city, had engaged i'm several
questionable transactions in that town, and
had secured $105 from W. Umchied, mer-
chant: s65 from L. +. Tigner, and $685.
from w. s. Beatty, the latter of whom he
appointed agent for the Union Life Insur-
ance Company. of this city, for that
county.
The report says that Loveless secured his
victims by offering special inducements,
which the company did not authorize him
to offer. His method of procedure was to
approach large business men and offer to
loan a large sum OF the companys money
at very low rate of interest, telling the
prospective borrowers, however, that, in
order to effect the loan, the latter would
have to take out certain amount of life
insurance. He would then insist on the
payment of the first premium, either in
cash or in notes, and then execute a con-
tract, in which he agreed, in case the loan
was not made within thirty days, the notes
or cash would be returned
w. S. Beatty, who was appointed agent
for his county by Loveless, was in the
city a day or two ago. and found that
Loveless had been dismissed from the en-
ploy of the company. Most of the trans
actions took place early in December, and
Loveless turned the notes into the office of
the company and secured his commission
on them, the rating of the makers being
known to be high. The transactions were
regarded in the office as being all right un-
til shortly after the first of the year, when
letters began TO come in, asking when the
loans promised by Loveless would be made.
Secretary G. T.. Goodale of the Union
Life Insurance Company, when asked about
the matter, made the following statement:
Mr.. A. f. Loveless, of this city, has,
prior TO the first OF the year. been en-
ployed as solicitor for the Union Life In
surance Company of Indiana, working
most of the time in the vicinity of Marion,
where, by Offering insurance with a loan
contingent, he succeeded in persuading a
goodly number TO take insurance with him,
and received payment either in cash or
notes. The applications for insurance were
sent TO the company in the regular way,
but applications for loans were suppressed
by Loveless, and cash or notes appropri-
ated to his own use. The company was
not cogniZant of any crooked dealings un-
til some of the applicants wrote to the
home office inquiring as to the time when
loans would be contaminated. This aroused
the management to the fact that Loveless
was disappearing the company, the Off
GERS of which have been doing all in their
power to make reparation, in order &c
maintain their good name and standing In
that vicinity, and have refunded to various
parties notes which have come into their
possession through Loveless's misrepresen.
