The city fathers are very careful
about letting the work of paving and
require the contractors and material
men to give bond. The contractor
must give two bonds-one that he will
fill the requirements of the specifics-
tiOns and another that he will keep i'm
provement in repair for certain length
of time, the latter being an amount
equal to twice the cost of the whole i'm
provement.
The company that furnishes the brick
must also give heavy bond to insure

The yellow newspapers have the fsc-
ulty to make some very sensational
stuff out of nothing. They will start
out with very large scare headlines
and the reader starts In with the ex
pectation of reading some thrilling
event, but finds that there is nothing
after all To- be excited about. The
writer of so-cslled sensational articles
for the yellow papers frequently tells
what terrible things would have hap
pened if something else had not inter
vened to prevent. For instance, with

how Smith escaped death by not stop-

him into eternity. And such stuff Is

DIR. j. H. Boyer Indignant.

DIR. j. II. Boyer. of Frankfort, is indig-
nant because of the arrest of his son here
several days ago. George Boyer, seventeen
years Of age. came here to look for a posi-
ton. He was well supplied with money and
carried a gold watch. Detectives Asch and
Wallace found him IN company with a ne
gro boy and they were locked up after be-
ing searched. Young Boyer claims he told
the truth as to his possession of the money
and watch carried by him and was locked
up and kept in Jail awaiting trial without
having any opportunity whatever to prove
his assertions. The detectives recommend
ed dismissal of the cases when they came
up for trial Thursday because there was no
evidence against them. The cases had been
continued at request Of the detectives for
purposes of investigation. Detective Wal
lace said last night that the company Boyer
was found In, together with the fact that
he was a stranger and had the watch and
money in one side coat pocket and the
watch chain in another warranted his de-
tention. The detectives themselves advised
the father of the situation.

A NEW COAL MINE.


State Mine Inspector James Epperson has
returned from a visit to southern Indiana.
where he inspected the new Gilmore coal
mine located three miles southwest Of
Jasonville, in Green county. on the Sulli-
van branch of the Indiana Southern Rail-
road.
Il inspected the mine last Tuesday"
said Mr.. Epperson yesterday. land L be-
lieve it is one of the best coal mines in
the State. The Indiana Southern Coal
Company, which now owns the mine, also
owns five hundred acres of land surround
ing the mine. all of which is expected to
produce abundant coal. The company Is
composed of John X. Seifert, of Chicago,
burg Coal Company; ID. Nj. of
Chicago, and John L. Gilmore, superin-
tendent Of the Pittsburg Coal Company.
The new coal seam is known as Coal 4
In geological terms and is five feet and
four inches In thickness. 1t is reached by
a shaft l52 feet deep. The discovery of the
southern Indiana, which. l believe, will be
very productive. The company intends to
equip the mining plant with the latest
electrical mining machinery and flreproof
buildings and expects TO develop 1.5O0 tons
of coal a day. The capacity of the mine
will be the largest in Indiana.
The new mine Is about three miles from
the Linton mine. Between the new shaft
and the Linton mine the coal seam thins
10 less tnan fOur 1eet and at the Linton
mine is covered with thin gray shale and
sandstone. At the Gilmore shaft the gray
shale is twenty-eight feet thick and there
Is a large area Of Coal 4 in excellent
shape.
Mr.. Gilmore has the credit for dis
covering the new mine. He prospected in
that locality for nearly a year in direct
opposition to the opinion of the mining
authorities in that part of the State. He
drilled several places and discovered the
vast coal beds. The new mine will turn
ONT httlm1nOuG coal that has haan Snma
times called semi-block coal. 1t is of ex-
cellent quality"

HEAVILY YELLED WOMAN.
IN Was Not Punished by Judge Dial,
-Fairview Park Cases.

A woman who was arrested for contempt
of court appeared yesterday before Judge
DAILY so heavily yelled that no one could
see her face. She had failed to obey a
summons as a witness. She kept her COM
posture until Judge DAILY announced that
he would infict no punishment and she
then began crying. Women as a rule do
not take the matter of subpoenas seriously
and think they are not obliged to obey
them unless II suits their convenience.
The cases of Alfred Andrews. William
Johnson and Joe Drake, charged with in
citing a riot at Fairview Park on SUNDAY
night last, were tried. Johnson was fined
s25 and costs and given one hundred DAYS
in the workhouse. The others were each
fined $50 and costs and sentenced to sixty
days In the workhouse. All of the cases
were appealed. A number OF negroes told
of their thrilling experiences Sunday night.
The only connection which could be estab-
lished between the boys on trial and the
assaults was that they were associating
with ruftianly gangs. Judge Daily told
them a second appearance before him
would. upon proof of guilt, cause them to
be sent to the workhouse for a year or
more.

I'm the early forties. The tables were also

HASSETT in THE TOLLS
sHREWD SCHEME BY WHICH HE OBJ
TANNED SUMS OF MONEY.
He Sold an Interest in n Bogus Bust
ness to Indianapolis Men-Oth-
err Court Cases.

The grand jury yesterday submitted a
partial report to Judge Afford, of the Grim
inal Court. Among those indicted was
William Hassett, charged with obtaining
money under false pretense and grand lar
ceny. Hassett is said to have worked one
Of the cleverest confidence games that was
ever thought out. According TO the story
told to Prosecutor Ruckelshaus, ROBERT
Mckee, a real-estate dealer, was one Oh
Hassett's victims in 1897. An advertisement
appeared in the indianapolis papers pur-
porting to be from a man who had a PROD
uct that would net a firm several hundred
dollars in a short time. TIL advertisement
asked for a partner who had $500 TO invest.
Mckee answered the advertisement and
gave $50 to Hassett. Hassett exhibited d
device for granting ordinary wood That
would make it look like fancy timber. The
two were TO start a plant here. and Mckee
was to look after the local end of the busi-
ness. while Hassett solicited trade.
Hassett left Indianapolis. and 1t was
many weeks before MceKe heard from him.
A letter came stating that he was In the
South and had encountered floods and sew
eral accidents, but that he would soon re-
turn. That was the last Mckee heard of
Hassett. Two years later a similar adver-
tisement appeared in the daily papers, and
Thomas Thornton was the man attracted
this time. He was induced by Hassett TO
invest $500 In the grainer enterprise. A few
orders came to Thornton after Hassett
had been out soliciting a few weeks. He
grew suspicious and learned that they were
bogus. Later he received a letter from
Hassett. who was again in the South. stat
ing that he had been in a runaway acct
dent and their machine was broken, and
that they would have TO abandon the bust
ness.
Two weeks ago a similar advertisement
appeared in the local paper and Thornton
saw II. He sent a decoy letter and met
Hassett with a detective. Hassett was ar
rested. The trick of the game is that it
would be difficult to bring criminal pro-
ceedings against the promoter, because 1t
would appear that the scheme was a bad
venture and resulted in failure, so that the
only recourse would be in the civil courts.
The grand jury hesitated about indicting
him, but since he sold a half share in the
business to Mckee before he disposed of 1t
to Thornton it is thought he can be con-
victed on a charge of obtaining money un-
der false pretense.
Other indictments returned yesterday
were against Arthur Williams, charged
with petit larceny: Frank Steward and
Thomas Pulley, burglary and petit larceny;
larceny; Joe Benson. breaking into a shop
In daytime; Louis Butterfeld. alias John
Edwards. grand larceny; Henry Sheridan,
burglary and petit larceny; Charles Jones,
burglary and petit larceny; Thomas Hen
derson and John Hayes, burglary and petit
larceny. All entered pleas of not guilty.
with the exception of Sam Thompson, ff-
teen years old, who is charged with grand
larceny. He entered a plea of guilty, but
was not sentenced.
