HE COULD ENJOY HIS MONEY.
Paid for the Arrest of MUIR
derer

After many years OF suffering from con-
sumption and also much suffering from
lack OF money for proper medical atten-
ton. Cornelius Johnson. coIored. came yes
terday into possession OF $500. The money
was one-half the sum paid by the Cleve-
land authorities for the arrest and deliv-
cry Of Ed Ruthven. the colored murderer,
who was shot here by Detective Gerber
while attempting TO shoot Captain Kinney,
and who was for a number of days kept
under armed guard at the City Hospital.
The money was received from Cleveland
yesterday BY draft. When given to John
SON he inquired Of the detectives If they did
not get any of it. and when told that the
rest went into the pension fund he divided
one-half with the detectives. He was then
asked what he was going to do with the
rest. "Gwine back TO my home in Geor-
gia." he said. and then left the Office. 1t
ives then about $50 p m
About 3:l5 D. m. Johnson walked into
Huder's drug store at Pennsylvania and
Washington street and asked for a remedy
OF some sort. He was unable TO talk plain
iy. and while the attendant was endeavor-
ing TO understand what was said the man
began coughing. and covered the floor with
blood from a hemorrhage of the lungs. He
was directed to a doctor in the Stevenson
building. but he got nc farther than the
door. He was then carried into the base
ment and died there before a physician
could reach him. In his pocket was found
an envelope containing the remainder of
his share of the reward. $245.s5. He had
been drinking. and IL was thought in his
condition the liquor had FASTENED his
death. He was Immediately recognized by
the police as Johnson
Johnson lived at 1874 Lafayette street,
and was a familiar character 10 the police
and has often been sentenced from Police
Court TO the w~orkhouse. II was through
him thu the detectives first got the infor-
nation that Ruthven was in this city, and
II was johnson who kept a lookout for him
and advised the officers OF his presence in
the house where Captain Kinney so nearly
lost his life. His body was sent to the
morgle. where II was viewed by the cor
oner. HIS relatives live at Macon. Ga.

Was Mentioned for the Office When
Mr.. Hess Was Appointed
His War Record.

Gen. George +. McGinnis will be appoint
ed postmaster of this city to succeed Mr..
Hess. and J. E. shideIer will be continued
as assistant postmaster. The appointment
Of General McGInnis will be made or the
recommendation of Senator Fairbanks, who
will also ask for the retention OF Mr.. Shide-
Ter. an arrangement which meets with the
cordial approval Of Representative Over
street. whose wishes were consulted and
whose advice was asked in the matter be-
fore a move was taken.
General McGinnis is now seventy-ive
years old, and one OF the ~best-known citi-
zens in Indiana He served with distinc-
ton in both the Mexican and civil wars.
He enlisted In the Mexican war at Chilli
Gothic, o., when but twenty-one years Of
age. and served as lieutenant and captain
during that war in the Second Regiment of
Ohio Volunteers. He moved from Chillico-
the to indianapolis in 1852. and has lived
here ever since. He opened a hatter's store
in this city. and for a long time conducted
the business OF West Washington street
on the site now occupied by the Bowen
Merrill Book Company. When the Pixies
Peak gold excitement broke out. in 1859, he
joined a party of prospectors and went to
Colorado. where he met with little success.
Shortly after he returned home the civil
war broke out, and Mr.. McGinnis. who had
been connected with one of the independent
military companies of Indianapolis, enlisted
as a private in Company X, Eleventh In
diana Volunteer Infantry, for the three
months service. On account of his mill
tary experience the next day after his en-

shankIIn Won't BE There.

John Gilbert Shanklin. of Evansville. a
member OF the Democratic national COM
mittee from Indiana. has written to a
friend in this city that, owing to the con-
dition Of his health, he will not be able to
attend the national convention at Kansas
City. Mr.. Shanklin has been Ill since a few
days before the state convention. While
as a candidate for national committeeman
again. Ii is generally conceded that Mayor
Taggart Will succeed him, whether he is
a candidate or not. The report that Tag
CART declared himself as a candidate for
the national craftsmanship while in Kansas
City is not generally believed by his friends,
and Ii Is thought he will be content to be
one of the national committeeman at PRES
ent, using 1T as a step TO the craftsmanship

that Chairman Jones is slated for the
Craftsmanship again this year.

ENLARGE TRAIN SHEDS
RAILWAY OFFICIAL SAYS
THEY ARE TOO SMALL.
What 1t Would Cost to vacate Nc
Nabb Street-Six More
Tracks eeded

An official of the Union Railway Com
pany said yesterday that it has become
very apparent tha the con,pany must
make some move looking to the enlarge
ment of the train sheds and add at least
six more tracks, and he thought the most
practical plan was TO vacate McNabb
street between Illinois and Meridian streets
by purchasing the property on the south
Of McNabb street. This done there
would be M necessity OF the street as 1t is
now used only to reach the buildings the
company would purchase. McNabb street
vacated and the property on the South Side
being purchased there would be no trouble
in carrying out improvements desired. as
the Union Railway Company now owns the
ground east of Meridian street and part of
that west of Illinois street, and if unable to
purchase the right the Sheets heirs claim
to have In the Terre Haute & Indianapolis
freight depot, tracks could be laid south of
the depot. In fact, two tracks are already
laid from Senate avenue TO Capital avenue
and at a trivial cost ground needed west OF
Senate avenue to connect with the several
western tracks could be secured. The prin-
cfpal expense in making the improvement
would be the purchase of properties be-
tween Illinois and MERIDIAN streets on the
South Side and fronting on McNabb street.
In square n~inety-six between Meridian,
South Illinois and McNabb streets, ground
is assessed for taxation at $32, $50; improve
ments. So, 450; total, s64, 800.
On Illinois street, between McNabb and
South streets, ground is assessed at SIG, $50;
improvements. 81. 800: total. $3.50 The
property on this square (96) is held by
seventeen owners, and the total assessment
is sl07, $50.
On square ninety-fve, between McNabb
and South streets, on Illinois street, the
ground is assessed for taxation at SIG, OBS;
improvements, $15.0 900; total, s31, 025.
On South street the ground is assessed
at s1,525, with no Improvements. On Capt.
tai avenue the ground is assessed at Sc. 125;
improvements, 5000; total, S14.550. Total on
square n~inety-five, 1880, making the total
assessment on the two squares, south of
Union station, between McNabb. Meridian.
South and Capitol avenue, $l53,525.

WILL HIRE MANY BANDS
In an Effort to Drum Up n Crowd
Political Gossip.

Preparations have been begun for the an
nual convention of the National League of
Democratic Clubs, which will probably be
held in this city Sept. S. 1t is the intention
to make the convention here the Democrat
ic rally of the campaign. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Bryan and whoever is nominated
for vice president will be here, and every
effort will be made to secure a large at
tendance
There is to be an elaborate programme of
parades and p%ageants, and 1t Is said that
some of the best bands in the country have
already been engaged. AS Mr.. Bryan is
not expected to make a touring campaign
this year. it is probable that his speech in
Indianapolis will be one of the few he will
make way from home. The Marion coun-
~ Democracy win have charge of the ar
engagements for the entertainment of the
visitors. and will be assisted by all other
local clubs.

Beating the Record.

1t used to be said of life insurance that
''you a to die to win." but recent years
have changed this, and the newer forms
of policies combine investment with life
insurance. AS announced in another col
umn, the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety has just settled the largest endow-
ment ever paid. This endowment was on
the life of a gentleman in Toronto, who
was evidently a believer in endowment life
insurance, as he took out $780, 900 worth in
various companies. His policy for 800, 900
in the Equitable at its maturity was worth
$780, SAT, which, as before said, Is the larg-
est payment ever made to a living policy
holder, and makes a strong argument in
favor OF the form Of insurance which
makes provision for old age as we'll as
giving protection to the family.
