OPENS FOR BUSINESS.
President DOugherty Pleased with
Union surety

Hugh D~Ougherty, a well-known banker
of Button, and prominent in State politi-
cal circles, was in the city yesterday for
the purpose of seeing how the Union Sure
ty Company. of which he is president, pro-
gressed on the first day it opened for the
transaction of business. Mr.. Dougherty
expressed himself as highly gratifed with
the prospect for the company's success.
1--WE have done considerable business to-
day" he said. much more than we had
expected. since we nave not begun the
work of soliciting. The public is just be
ginning to learn the advantage of surety
companies. Where there is an opportunity
to secure corporate bond at reasonable
cost, no man need annoy his friends by
asking them to become sureties for him.
Many institutions that have not been
bonding their employees will now do SO, be-
cause this company affords them the OPP
portunity of securing bonds without
troubling their acquaintance. In my oDin-
ion, the increase of the corporate surety
business that is bound to come will benefit
society. for 1t Will require men to be of
good habits in order TO secure bonds. And
al employe that is under bond to a cor
poration, knowing that he is being OBJ
served by IL. will hesitate a long time be-
fore he attempts any crooked dealings"
e. NJ. Johnson, secretary of the new
surety company, has already commenced
the work of establishing agencies through
out the State. He said yesterday that
every c~ountyseat in the State, and most of
the other cities and towns, will have
agencies. The company has power, under
it's charter. 10 establish agencies i'm thirty
four States of the Union. and President
Dougherty announced yesterday that all Of
these States will have agencies by the first
of January, 1902. Secretary Johnson has
already received a number of applications
from outside States for the privilege of
conducting agencies of this company.

that twenty-six countries have national

to prove a law bad is to obey it to the let

Recognizes Republican Inspectors.

Although the matter of the appointment
of the Republican election inspectors is to
be finally determined in the Superior Court
to-day ii is known that the Democrats
made up their minds to concede the legality
of the appointment several days ago. The
Democratic members of the Board of Elec-
tion Commissioners have been intimating
as much for several days, but IL was made
plainly apparent yesterday when the Re-
publican inspectors were formally notified
by Chairman Tanning of his appointment
of Democratic judges and clerks in the
various precincts of the city. The fact
that Chairman Tanning recognized the Re
publican inspectors by serving them with
legal notices of his appointments practical
ly ends the controversy between the two
political parties. and the decision of the
court will be a mere legal formality.

Called on Il. l.. Jones.

A committee appointed recently by the
Harrison Monument Association visited
Frank l.. Jones. superintendent of public
instruction, yesterday afternoon and in
vited him TO attend the meeting of the
association in the University Club building
last night. Mr.. Jones was to be requested
to issue a general appeal to the school
teachers of Indiana to obtain small contri-
buttons to the monument fun from the
school children. Mr.. Jones said yester-
day that on general principles he is opposed
to asking school children 10 contribute to
anything, but that in this case he would
probably suspend the rule. He said he
would. however. communicate with the
mckinley memorial commission in CleVe-
land, o., and If that body has a similar
project in view, he would direct a general
contribution from Indiana school children,
and when it was made divide it between
the Harrison and Mckinley memorial as
sOciations, thus avoiding the necessity of
making two separate collections for kim
dred objects.

The announcement that the board Of con-
troll oil the State Prison had appointed
Frank Martin, deputy auditor of state, as
warden, OF the prison to succeed George A.
H. ShiseIer. resigned. came yesterday as
one Of the greatest surprises state Of
hciaIs have experienced in a long time.
The fast that Mr.. Martin had been consid-
cred for the position had been carefully
guarded and hone of the state officers, ex-
cept Auditor Hart. knew of it. The ap-
pointasnt was the r~eigning sensation Of
the Capitol building the whole of yester-
day afternoon.
Mr.. Martin was asked II he would accept
the position. when the members of the
prison board offered me the place several
days ago." he said, 'I refused IL, but now
i cannot say what 1 shall do. A matter

There was considerable speculation in

Martins acceptance of the w-ardenship
upon the race for state auditor before the
next Republican state convention. Several
state Ofucials declared that IL would mean
the nomination without a doubt. "Of

~TEN-YEAR-OLD CRIMINAL.


Richard Walker. a ten-year-old colored
lad. has proved himself a chap of unusual
resources and cunning. Some time ago
he was arrested for the theft of bicycle Ii
cense tags. Last night he was arrested by
Detective Bray. He went 10 the home of
Mrs. Margaret Spottswood, 900 North Ala
bama street, and exhibiting an old build
ing and loan association book, asked the
name of the family living there and then
told that a sum of money had been tele-
graphed 10 them and that IL would be sent
by special messenger as soon as he got
back to the office. He said his charges
were % cents, and * was given to him.
Inquiry by the family at the telegraph
office showed the fraud, and the police de-
partment was advised.

HUSBANDS FIENDISH ACT
MAY CAUSE THE DEATH OF MRS.
SAMUEL FISHBACK.
She Claims He Hurled n Lighted Lamp
at Her, Causing Fatal Burns
Brave Attempts to Save Her.

Mrs. Samuel Fishback. colored. who lives
at 291k West Ohio street. was taken TO the
City Hospital late last night suffering from
burns. which covered about two-thirds of
the body. Her clothes caught fire from a
lamp. which was broken either accidentally
or from being thrown at her by her hus-
band.
John Navin. w. G. Mcclure. James Hol-
land, cOlored. and one or two other men,
who were at a livery stable on the north
side of Ohio street were startled by a num-
Der of shrilI screams shortly before IL
o'clock. A moment later they saw the
woman rush into the street with her
clothes ahame. She started eastward and
as rhe flames rose about her face began
turning round and round, in an effor: to
get away from them. She kept turning
until she fell upon the ground. BY that
time Navin. Mcclure and Holland had
reached her. Holland. who had taken off
his coat while running across the street,
wrapped ii quickly about her head. but she
tore il off. 1t was replaced and torn away
again. Navin and MCGUIRE were lighting
the flames with their hats and coats. John
Baase, a hickman, who saw the fire about
a square away, arrived and tossed a
blanket to Holland. He wrapped it about
the woman head and the upper part of
her body. The men beat at the flames and
kept tearing away at her clothing until
the fire had been extinguished. She was
taken TO the City Hospital.
While seated i'm the chair and at the hos
pital the woman said her husband threw a
lamp at her because she had started out
late to "A lodge meeting. Fishback was
about the place after she had been taken
away, although he ran while the men were
trying to put the fire out. and said his wife
had accidentally overturned the lamp. She
said they had not been on good terms for
several days. He was taken to police head
quarters and held on a charge of assault
and battery. AT the hospital it was said
the burns might result fatally.

OUTSIDE OPINION.
Responsibility of Republican, Not
Limited to the City.

South Bend Tribune.
The Republicans of the capital must
not forget they occupy a peculiar place.
The eyes of the Republicans throughout
the State are upon them. Their RESPONSE
bility is not confined to the limits of In
~dianapolis. They covet official recognition.
and they should therefore remember that
the shade of their colors, the character OF
their work. the results obtained at their
city election will have a powerful bearing
upon the recognition accorded them by the
Republican party in other parts OF the
state. II they cannot or will not help
themselves, can they expect to receive
what they desire? The indianapolis Re
publicans must win a victory and show
that they are in battle trim. They owe it
to their city, to the State and to the Re
publicans Of Indiana. To win that battle
constant and increased energy is needed.

all that it can manage. The residence is
under the direction of Miss COrnelia Allen,
who is also assistant professor of Eng
lish. She, With Professor and Mrs. j. ID.
Forrest. have been abroad during the sum
mer. studying. The residence has been
greatly improved since last year. the lower
floor being repapered and hardwood floors
being laid in the west parlors.
The only change in the faculty is the
filling of the place as professor of Roman
languages, made vacant by the death of
Mr.. r. W. Abbott, by Professor Percy Il.
