not insane. and the last time he was re-

THE REASON FOR DELAY
STOCKHOLDERS IN POWER PLANT
COMPANY HOLD MEETING.
Directors Criticised for Not Going
Ahead with the Building
An Explanation.

A meeting OF some OF the stockholders
who subscribed to the fund being raised to
build a large power house on the ground
at New Jersey and Washington streets.
was held at the Commercial Club yester-
day afternoon to begin an investigation Of
the reason for delay in beginning work on
the building. The stockholders present ap-
peared to complain of the slowness of the
board of directors in getting things under
way. The Indianapolis Power Plant Com
pany, of which II. Z. Kinney is president,
was organized for the purpose of building
this plant.
Charles E. Coffin, w. NJ. Taylor and A.
Burdsal were the directors present at the
meeting and Mr.. Coffin sought to explain
to the stockholders the cause for delay
The stockholders were. apparently, not
satisfied, as they appointed committee
to confer with the directors and see just
where the corporation stands. The chief
objection OF the stockholders seems to be
that the company is too slow I'm going on
with the work. Some of the stockholders
had heard that the officers of the company
were trying to dispose of the ground where
the plant was 10 be built. This the stock
holders who were present, seriously OBJ
1ected to. They want the plant built. The
most of the stockholders in attendance at
the meeting yesterday live or own property
in the neighborhood Of where the plant Is
to be built. The committee appointed to
discuss matters with the directors was
Andrew Steffen, Ferd A. Mueller, William
b. Holton. III. c. Dewenter. Franklin Von-
negut and John w. Schmidt.
e.. l.. Coffin said. last night that there
had been no intention of abandoning the
project. He explained as the reason for
delay that the amount of stock sold up to
this time was not deemed sufficient TO war
rant the directors in proceeding with the
building. He said that about $4,000 worth
of stock has been subscribed. The company
was Incorporated at S30000 capital stock.

PROF. DINSMORE'S LECTURE.
A Large Audience Interested in His
Scientific Discourse.

Prof. Thomas II. Dnsmore. of Syracuse,
n Y, delivered the second lecture of the
Y. NJ c. A. course last night at Plymouth
Church before a large audience. which was
greatly interested in the subject of his
lecture, 1.-THE Wonderful Structure" He
spoke of the different chemicals which are
found in the human body. illustrating his
talk by chemical experiments from the
platform. Among the elements found in the
body of man, as Mr. Dinsmore stated, are
oxygen. hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus
carbon, iron, cloridium, sodium, nitric
acid. nitroglycerin. potassium, magnesia,
sulphur, etc. Professor Dinsmore also ad-
vanced the theory that the time may come
when scientists, by the use of chemicals,
may produce life. He said it did not seem
more impossible than did the invention of
the telegraph in years gone by. when peo-
pie laughed at the idea that thought could
be transmitted by wire or when Mr.. Cyrus
w. Field conceived the idea of planting the
Atlantic cable.
The third lecture of the course will be
given at Plymouth Church Dec IL, when
Senator John z. Dolliver will talk.

The Thanksgiving football game between
Butler and De Paw, to be played al
Washington Park, promises TO be very
interesting event. Both teams were rather
weak early in the season. but they have
been materially strengthened and coached
and now rank next to- the Big Three.
Eutler's recent game with Rose Polytech-
nic demonstrated how the Irvington eleven
has been developed into formidable team.
while De Pauw has also received additional
strength One OF the largest crowds of
the season will no doubt witness this game.
