TRIED TO HASTEN DIVORCE.
Judge Allen, However, Would Not
Hear to 1t.

Yesterday the attorneys in the suit of
Mabel Loves. against her husband, Clinton
Loves, member OF the fire department, for
divorce, approached Judge Allen and asked
for an early hearing. The judge told them
he had all the divorce suits he could at
tend to- and began to run over his docket,
showing that more than half of the cases
Immediately pending arc of that character.
He said he could do nothing until the time
came. and added 1T will not hurt them to
wait as he marked the date of hear
ing in his docket. He said that perhaps
by the time it came for hearing they might
adjust differences and dismiss the suit.
III was said by the woman's attorney that
that had been done once, and they decided
they could live together. The attorney for
the defendant said his client now had the
child and was willing for his wife to get a
divorce. The judge did not heed their
pleadings, and only repeated, lit will not
hurt them to wait
No special reason was given to the Court
for advancing this cause, but an attorney
in another divorce suit offered n novel rea-
son in the Circuit Court the other day for
Fastening hearing. He said his client,
who is a mere GIRL was going to give a
birthday party soon and wanted to get her
divorce before that time so that she would
be free. The attorney said she feared her
husband might come to the party if the
divorce was not secured by that time.

TO ADJUST CASE TO-DAY
FAULT FOUND WITH THE APPOINT
MENT OF A RECEIVER.
The Hedge and Wire Fence Company
Observation-Disclosures to Hasten
Divorce Case-Court Cases.

There promises to be an interesting time
in Judge Leathers's court this morning
when the attorneys In the receivership case
OF the Indiana Hedge and Wire Fence Com
pany, and In the suit against Thomas Tag
CART and Sterling r. Holt. now the princi-
pal stockholders of the company, who are
being sued for the recovery Of money by
former stockholders on the grounds that
they were fraudulently led into investing
in the company, get together. CORTLAND
Van Camp, Henry Schurmann and Edwin
j. Robson brought suit against Taggart
and Holt for the recovery OF $l,2l6 each,
which they assert they were induced TO
pay to get out of the company instead of
meeting notes for s., 800 each and paying the
security on $4,000 worth of notes taken by
the company from farmers in Clinton
county for fence constructed. With these
suits the Indiana State Bank filed petition
for a receiver.
Last Wednesday Edward Raub was ap-
pointed receiver of the company. Frank
Littleton, attorney for the bank, brought
Judge feathers a prepared entry for the
appointment of Raub, which had John r.
Wilson's mark of approval upon Ii. Mr.,
wilson was attorney the anu
entered an appearance when the suit was
filed. Yesterday, Alonzo Greene Smith
came into court and asked that the ap-
pointment be set aside. He said Raub was
attorney for the bank and the plaintiff
might as well be receiver. as its attorney.
II was shown that Attorney Wilson had
consented TO the appointment before IL was
made. Smith said Wilson was not an at
torney for the company until yesterday
morning, although he represented the de-
PENDANTS in the other suits. 1t was an en-
barrassing predicament and the judge i'm
mediately summoned all the attorneys con-
cerned to appear in court at o'clock this
morning, to straighten out the matter.
There is an array of counsel on both
sides. Noel q Lair brought suit for the
recovery of money for the former stock
holders, and Frank L. Littleton for a re-
ceiver for the bank. Taggart, Holt and the
company are represented by Wilson &
Townley and Smith & Korbly. Smith is
one of the stockholders. who is said to have
paid money to be released from the COM
pany. Holt is president of the company,
and the attorneys for the plaintiff assert
that he instructed Wilson to proceed with
the case. AS the company now stands, the
stock is said to be principally in the hands
OF Taggart and Holt

On the Cooperative Principle.

Between East Alton and East ST. Louis
the Big Fours st. Louis division for twen-
ty miles runs side by side with the Chicago
& Alton. Both roads need double track
between these points. and this they are
about to secure without the heavy expense
of each constructing second track. by the
simple plan OF a joint trackage agreement
under which each road will use both tracks
on working schedule protected by the
latest and most reliable block system.
This arrangement will enable each line TO
shorten its time and obviate all delays at
the crossing heretofore experienced In
speaking of this railway superintendent
says there are thousands of miles of par
allel tracks In this country 10 which this
cooperative plan could be applied with
great advantage both as to safety and
economy.

A Question of Justice.

To the Editor or the Indianapolis journal:
When a rich and powerful man who is
abundantly able to be just and generous,
who boasts in and out of season that he
is peculiarly noble and chivalrous, and act
ually believes that he is the very highest
product of the evolution of the ages-when
such a man studiously, deliberately, de-
family and persistently deprives another
who is VIGOROUSLY weaker than himself
and is absolutely at his mercy, of every
right and privilege which the laws of
their common country bestow upon the two
alike-what words can rightly describe
such man as that?
And when another man, who is richer
and stronger and wiser than this unname-
able one VINO really wishes to have justice
impartially measured out to all, and has
already been put to great expense by the
truculent spirit of the other; who has all
his life suffered a greater or less degree
of wrong, chiefly because he has hesitated
to demand that equal and exact justice
govern the relationships of all; when he
has now, as from the hand of God him
self, had given him righteous means of
working towards justice and proclaiming
that entire justice shall yet be established
for all; If he do not do the grown mans
part, what shall be said of him?
And when yet another man, who has been
chosen to represent all these in the conduct
OF their common affairs and has been given
all the wise and good men of the country
10 dQNlSc anu strengthen MIN III the emer-
gencies that may arise; when he advises.
BY and with the advice of all his good and
wise advisers, that the burly ruffian who
has beaten the poor man down and holds
him helpless be not interfered with lest
he be made angry, and then there remains
for the poor one no power to aid below the
throne of God-then all the conditions are
fulfilled to make one feel to thank God
that he cannot live always, but must. when
his days here are fulfilled, go up and tes-
t!fy before the court of last resort In the
interest of abstract and eternal Justice
And about as like to this as one pea is
TO another pea Is the existing situation be-
tween the DISTINGUISHED negro of the South.
the semibarbarous son of the daughter of
the Confederacy, who but yesterday in
Montg omery proclaimed the word Nation
al distasteful TO her, the rejuvenated
Northern doughface. and our super-concil-
iatory President and his wise and good
advisers.
But time Is long, and the people that
will not do justice shall perish.

WATKINS STILL In DARK
HE is CONFIDENT, HOWEVER, OF
INDIANAPOLIS'S POSITION.
Comment ON MIR. FrankIin's Visit to
President JohnsOn-The Latter's
Statement.

President w. III. Watkins. of the Indian
apolis Baseball Club. was asked last even
ing what new developments there were
I'm the baseball situation to his knowledge.
He replied that he had received no official
news from Chicago, and he refused to dis
cuss the latest dispatches that were pub
lished yesterday. in which Indianapolis was
mentioned as a member of third league
to be organized after the American League
expands. Mr.. Watkins says he is still
confident that Indianapolis will be in the
American League next year, and is max
ing preparations for next seasons team
the same as If there had been no talk of
Indianapolis being dropped from the league
by guessing newspaper men in other cities.
The visit of President Franklin, of the
Buffalo club, to President Johnson in Chi
cago the first of this week is not taken
very seriously by many, although il is
reported that President Franklin warmed
Johnsons Office by his glowing stories. that
were as hot as the air generated in an
alcohol burner, about the possibilities of
great attendance in Buffalo next year on
account of the Pan-American exposition
This exposition, il is said. will be detri-
mental TO baseball. and even should ii help
:he game and make Buffalo better pay
ing city than last year the members of
the circuit committee of the American
League will no doubt look further ahead
and see the possibilities of that city after
1901, when IL would drop back in point of
attendance and not rank iii the same class
with indianapolis. IT is not very likely
that the circuit committee will jump at
Frankln's air castles ard include that city
in preference to Indianapolis when this
city has been tried ard always found to
be near the top. indianapolis has been in
the league since its organization, and il
is safe TO say that 1t will remain a men,
Der of the league no matter how it may
expand
The meeting of the circuit committee
was at first announced to be held IN. Chi
cago yesterday, but it has been postpor ed
and may not take place until next week.
President Watkins says he has received
Ito notice of when the meeting will be held.

More on Primary Elections.
e Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:

To the Editor % the indianapolis Journal:
r. V. Hunter, in yesterdays issue of the
Journal. expressed a good idea when he
stated that the tax receipts should be
prfma facia evidence OF the qualification of
voting. Four years ago was in the treas
urer's Office OF Randolph county. a few
days prior to the national election many
glass blowers working In a nearby town
came and paid their taxes. stating that
they wanted TO vote on the next Tuesday
and could not unless they had their tax re-
ceipts. they having resided formerly In a
State that demanded this as qualification
I did not inform them differently because
every one OF them received a red receipt
denoting a delinquency. which aided In re-
pIenishing the exchequer. This was one
good reason. another Is. the balance OF

sons who never pay taxes and boast how

From far Beersheba unto Dan:
And IL you'd gaze upon king,
Behold the lusty football mani

Although there ne'er such a show"
He's every girl upon the string"
When he goes forth his foes to fling.
