New city Building.

The adoption of tho plan OF Glesey &
Farls for the new city building prOpos-
ed to be built here, seems to be pleasing
to those who know most about It. All

posing structure presented in the pho
tographic views, and this was what
finally won, when the contest narrowed
down TO the Cincinnati firm and this

proceeded with. The understanding
from the beginning was that the sue
cessful architect was TO receive D per

for a Lumbe Company.

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 1z-Application
was made to-day TO the Court of Chancery
for the dissolution of the Distilleries Com
pany of America, which is Incorporated I'M
der the laws of New Jersey, with a capt.
talization of sl25. 00O, 600. The application is
made on behalf of Henry i. Dittman and
Kalinam Hass, of New York, who are
stockholders of the Kentucky Distilleries
and Warehouse Company. The latter COM
pany is one of four that were absorbed by
the pistilleries Company of America, and
itself controls a large number of smaller
concerns. They claim they are acting for
themselves and others. and maintain that
the management of the Distilleries Com
pany Of America is inimical to the inter-
ests of the Kentucky company. The other
companies which have been absorbed by
the Distilleries Company of America are
the America Spirits Manufacturing Com
pany. the Spirits Distributing Company,
and the Standard Distilling and Distribu-
ting Company.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
JEFFERSONvILLE, Ind, Aug. 1.-THE
Democratic leaders are having a hard time
explaining to the German element of this
city and county the speech made by Frank
b. Burke, of Indianapolis, at Spieth's Hall
in this city Monday night. During the
course of his remarks Mr.. Burke said: II
hate the Russian flag, and the British fag,
and the German flag, because they do not
represent liberty" AS a result of this
declaration against their flag the Germans
are up in arms against the candidate for
representative from the Seventh district,
and are also indignant at the local candi-
dates who are trying to pat them on the
back and tell them that Mr.. Burke meant
nothing by his remark. The German
voters, who represent the best class of peo-
cajoled into voting for a party whose lead
ers throw gratuitous insults in their faces
in this manner. Burke's entire talk was
pronounced, by Republicans and Democrats
alike, one of fragrant Misrepresentation
all the way through.
The negro voters, are also much wrought
up over a statement made by Captain j. w.
Fortune, candidate for senator from the
counties of Clark, Jennings and Scott, In
which he said that he was heartily. in
favor of the law passed in North Carolina,
DISTINGUISHING the negroes, and added that
he would be glad to see the same measure
in effect here. AS a result of this remark
it is not likely that many votes will b.

NO USE WAITING

The man solicited for life insurance Is
usually not quite ready to take IL. vet after
he has become a policy holder he is sorry
that he was not insured some time before.
The reason of his regret is the very prac-
teal one of cost. This years policy is only
purciiasable by him at a higher rate than
the same insurance could nave been see
cured for a year ago. and next years con-
tract will be still higher. Infiexible and
unyielding things are those little tables of
rates, preaching in the most practical fash
ion the benefits of promptness and the
costliness of procrastination. There is no
use I'm hoping To eyade their requirements.
and threats to "see some other company
are wholly futile. All reliable companies
charge the individual more for his insur-
ance az the years follow one another. and
a life policy is about the only necessary
thing In the world of which there is no
possible hope of getting it cheaper by
waiting awhile.

Fourteen passengers were in the smoking

rived. The train left Cleveland at 1855
p. m. and struck a broken rail near Bay

Of the passengers probably will die.
The cars are sixty feet long, and
two of them stood partly on end In the
twenty feet of water. Wreck trains were
sent out at once from Toledo and San

None of those injured will die. The broken

large amount of mail is still in the water.
Most of the Lake Shore trains, this morn
ing, were obliged to go around by the Nor

CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Every wheel and
movement of m throughout the
great Southern Pacific system of railroads
and steamship lines was stopped for seven
minutes to-day during the burial of Coils
p. Huntington in New York. AT the exact
moment when the clock struck IL i'm New
York every hammer in all the shops ceased
changing; engines paused Upon the rails and
steamships foated lifelessly upon the
water. In Chicago the Offices remained
closed all morning and no tickets were sold
or other business transacted until after the
body of the great railroad magnate was
laid to rest. During the short suspension of
business $4,000 men in all sections of the
United States remained idle. The Chicago
offices were draped with crepe hat is to re-
main thirty days. Careful attention had
been given TO the difference of time be-
tween San Francisco and New York in or
der that the observations of respect at each
place might take place at exactly the same
time. Services were held at the First Pres
byterian Church at San Francisco at the
same time the funeral was in progress In
New York.
w. G.. Niemyer, general Western freight
and passenger agent of the Southern Pa
cific, with headquarters, said this was the
first time In the history of American rail-
roads that there had been a total suspen-
sion or business on any system as a mark
of respect TO the memory of any man.
