SUIT BY NELSON MORRIS.
Chicago Packer Seeks Immunity from
Gravel Road Taxation.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
RENSSELAER,, Ind, June 30.-Nelson
Morris, the pork packer, of Chicago, who
owns several thousand acres of land in
Keener township, this county, has brought
suit in the Jasper Circuit Court against the
Board of County Commissioner asking for
an injunction TO restrain the treasurer from
collecting the tax levied for the payment
of the bonds on the Otis gravel road in
Keener township, that the Board of Com
missioners be restrained from making n
further levy upon the property of the plain
tiff for gravel road purposes in Keener
township and that the auditor be restrained
from placing upon the tax duplicate any
further taxes in said township for gravel
road purposes.
The facts of the case are as follows:
March II, 1897, the Board of Commissioners
of Jasper county entered into a contract
with Samuel McGinnis for the construction
OF the De Motto and Otis gravel roads in
Keener township. The contract for the
for this amount which brought at sale $751;
700. The bid OF McGinnis was some $1,000
or 5000 lower than the next bid, which was
for stone, which in that part of the county
could be furnished much cheaper than
gravel. McGinnis began work, and, 1t is
understood. lost money from the outset.
With Interruptions, however, the work was
continued until twelve of the sixteen miles
were completed. McGinnis received, on or
in 81, 0S6. 90 of the contract price. Work was
then abandoned. with only the latter
amount in the treasury with which to COM
plete the four miles OF road.

SUMMER SHUTDOWN Is MADE.
Iron, Steel and Tin Mills and Glass
Factories Are Closed.

PITTSBURG, June N.-All the iron, steel
and tin plate mills under the jurisdiction
of the A~malgamated Association closed to-
night, but there will be no strike, as is Gus
tomary on June 80 each year when the
wage scale remains unsigned. Assistant
President Thomas Mansell, of the Amalga-
mated Association, explains that the shut
down annot be called a strike. as negotia-
tons are pending on the three scales pre-
scented to the manufacturers and an agree
ment on all of them is probable as soon as
the manufacturers and the workers are
ready to resume operations. By the closing
of the union mills fully one hundred thou
sand men become idle. In addition to the
union mills many nonunion plants Will be
shut down for repairs.
All the window glass factories controlled
by the American Window Glass Company,
which have been operating since the regu-
lar shut down on u 10, having a capacity
of over one thousand pots, were closed at
workers will be idle during July and Au-
gust and longer unless the wage scale is ar
ranged before Sept. /, but there does not
seem to be any doubt now that all differ
ences will be adjusted by that time.
All the flint bottle and chimney glass fac
tories closed tonight, the former for two
months and the latter for six weeks. AS a
result over ten thousand flint glass workers
Will have a vacation during the hot
months, The flint glass wage scales have
been satisfactorily settled, except in the
chimney branch. and this probably will be
adjusted before the time for the next fire.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
ROCKPORT, Ind, June 30.-James Lock-
hart, town marshal of Grand View, was
shot and fatally wounded by Eph Great
house, a negro, at 10 o'clock this morning.
The shooting grew out of attempts to
lynch Grant Rose, colored, on June 20. and
Theo Gunsald, colored. two days later.
On the latter date Marshal Lockhar
dubbed Greathouse, who claimed that he
was not disturbing the peace. and this
morning Lockhart tried TO take a pistol
from him. He resisted and the marshal
struck him twice over the head, when the
negro shot, the ball entering just above
the heart and passing through the body.
Lockhart fell and Greathouse snapped the
pistol twice at the PROSTATE man and then
escaped to the woods. Large forces of men
are securing the country, but had not
caught the culprit at dark.
The greatest excitement prevails over
this and other recent outrages. and Great
house will be hanged If he falls into the
hands of the mob. The sheriff Is making
every effort to prevent a ynching and 1t is
thought the excitement will subside dur
ing the night.
At 6 o'clock * was bleeding in
ternally and he will probably die before
morning.

ket was liable to go up before the day OF

This is indeed a serious proposition and
the Chief desires to add its tears TO those
of its popocratic contemporary in contem-
plating the misery and suffering that the
poor farmer must undergo in not being able

is to cost him. We admit that this is a
case where Mckinley prosperity is a mis-
homer. and we respectfully beseech Mark
Hanna TO call off his dogs of wal and al

We further desire to go on record as being
unalterably opposed to the manipulation OF
the market on all such necessities as
pianos, diamonds, etc. articles that the
farmers and laboring classes are forced to
buy in order to keep their poor souls n
bodies together. Hasten the day when we
can return to the good. old Democratic

the people were saving their pennies -
