DEMANDS OF SOUTH SIDE
MUNICIPAL MATTERS DISCUSSED BY
TUE CITIZENS CLUB.
Representation IN the Works Board
VIII BE Asked-Street-Car Line
Extension and Gas Service.

Citizens of the South Side want three
things badly enough TO bend every effort
to secure them; Representation on the
Board of Works, an extension of the street
car lines chiefly used by the residents and
better artificial gas service. The institution
which gives the most forcible expression of
the wants Of the South Side. and which is
going 20 work for them, is the South Side
Citizens Club. which met last night in the
Trinity Mission at Downey avenue and
Wright street.
Several speakers at the meeting declared
that the South Side seemed to be an un-
known country to a large part of Indian
apolis; that its claims had been overlooked
and that 1t had never been properly repre-
sented on the city boards. They said that
ii was time the idea that the South Side is
a cipher in municipal affairs should be
eliminated from the minds of politicians
and that representation on the Board of
Works should be had. AS a result OF the
speeches and suggestions. Mayor Book
walter will be asked to appoint +. j. Meyer,
a prominent German citizen, on the Board
of Works. Mr.. Meyer is a Democrat. and
1t is hoped by South Siders that in the
event of the retirement of Charles Ma
guire. he will get the vacancy.
The indianapolis Street-railway Company,
In the opinion or the club members and
citizens. is not exerting itself particularly
for the benefit OF the southern part of the
city. The extension OF the South East
street line. from Morris street to Lincoln
street. has been asked for a number of
times with poor success and Friday morn
ing "A committee will go before the Board
of Works and endeavOr TO convince the
hoard that the Street-railway Company
should be ordered to make the extension.
As members OF the committee, Henry Web
ling. f. j. Meyer. 4. NJ. Williams, Henry
Becker, o. DerAlng, Harry Dipple, w. +.
Bailey. Edward Toby. Henry Rieman and
S. Hansen. were named. The board will be
asked also to have the Garfield Park line
extended from Shelby street TO the woods
on Southern avenue.
Petitions and requests have been placed
before the Indianapolis Gas Company for
better service. While admitting that the In
dianapolis Gas Company gets better re-
pipe lines. they think they are entitled TO
better service.
The South Side Citizens Club was or
ganized last July for the betterment of
municipal conditions generally and those OF
the South Side in particular. The president
OF the organization is r. j. Meyer. the sec
rotary b. Stilz. Its purpose is TO stir up the
locality 10 a sense OF its general needs and
TO develop a club municipal educational
school. Augustus l.. Mason will be asked
in the near future 10 deliver a talk before
the club on some subject OF a civic nature.

least one is not reported. Last night there
were three within a few minutes.

Unknown Negro Killed by Train.

Unknown Negro Killed by Train.
williams Gets Ten Years in the
Pen.
Waycross, Ga, Nov. 13.-An unknown
negro was instantly killed by an incom-
ing passenger train on the Brunswick
and Western Railroad last night.
1t appears that the negro was steal
ing a ride, and attempted to leave the
train before it ran into the station
here. This must have been the case,
as he jumped from the train just be-
fore it reached the section houses in the
edge of the city, about quarter of a
mile from the union depot.
AS he leaped from the train he struck
a pole car standing near the track. He
was knocked fully fifteen feet into the
air and was thrown violently under the
car wheels. One leg was cut off and
his body otherwise mangled. The ne
gro was killed instantly when he struck
the crank car.
Coroner Jackson Grimes was notified,
and he summoned a jury of six men
and proceeded to hold an inquest over
the remains. The finding of the jury
was in accordance with the facts as
noted above.
MIR. V. L. Stanton, foreman of the
grand jury. informs the Morning News
correspondent that the jury is having
all the business it can attend to this
week They expect to have their gen.
eral presentments ready by tomorrow
morning 8 o'clock.
The williams Case.
Evidence was concluded in the Jack
Williams case late yesterday after
noon, and by holding an after supper
session two speeches were made last
night. The opening speech was made
for the state by Hon. William NJ.
Toomer. He was followed by Judge
j. l.. Sweat for the defense.
This morning Hon. Leon A S>Wilson
led off for the state and Col. j. Walter
Bennett appeared before the jury In
behalf of the defendant. He was fol-
lowed by Judge NJ. L. Mershon, who
made the closing argument for the de-
Tense. The closing speech was made
by Hon. John w. Bennett, solicitor
general, for the state.
Judge Benefits charge to the jury
was clear and to the point, giving sat-
isfaction to all parties. He concluded
his charge at 1880 and the jury enter
ed at once upon consideration of the
case.
They were out but a short time
WHICH ticy lllSQ DdCk INTO IH6 court
room and their verdict was received.
1t was voluntary manslaughter. Judge
Bennett sentenced Williams to ten
years in the penitentiary.
The crime for which Williams is
sent up was committed on Tuesday
night, Oct. %. He and Hugh Ash
croft, young white man,
became involved in diff
Guilty when he stabbed him
in the abdomen, Ashcroft dying in
few minutes.
Williams is a son of Bill Williams,
well known man who lived in Bruins
wick several years ago. He has been
working in the plumbing business here
several months past. A sad feature of
this case is the condition of his aged
mother who still lives in Brunswick.
She is about 65 years of age, and her
children have so far kept her from
learning anything of the sad fate of
her boy, for fear the shock would cause
her death. She is very feeble.
