TO USE ELECTRIC MOTOR
SUPERINTENDENT MANSFIELD PETI-
TIONs BOARD OF WORKS.
Wants to Use Streets to Haul Freight
from stores to Freight Depot
City Affairs.

NJ. w. Mansfield. superintendent of the
p, c., c. & ST. L. Railroad Company, filed a
petition with the Board of Works yesterday
for permission to run an electric motor
car for the purpose Of collecting freight
from the wholesale and retail houses and
making rapid deliveries to the freight
houses of the company. He asks that the
privilege and authority be granted on such
terms and conditions as may hereafter be
agreed on by contract. The board received
the petition, but no action was taken. The
petition is as follows:
T Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago *
St. Louis Railway Company respectfully
shows that, whereas the interests of the
city of Indianapolis and it's citizens would
be furthered by more prompt and econom-
ical handling Of merchandise freight, which
would better enable the merchants OF the
city to compete with those of neighboring
cities. the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago a
st. Louis Railway Company is contem-
plating running, and only awaits your per-
mission TO run, an electric motor car for
the purpose of collecting freight from the
Wholesale and retail houses, and making
rapid deliveries TO the freight house of said
company.
Petition is therefore made for permits
sion to run an electric motor car through.
on and over the following streets In Indian
apolis, to wit: Washington street between
Liberty street and White river; Meridian
street between the Union tracks and Wash
ington street, and Georgia street between
Meridian street and Pennsylvania street,
connecting at Pennsylvania and Georgia
streets with a switch leading TO the freight
house of said railroad company.

Commercial Club Committee Reports
on the Lighting Contract.

The board of directors of the Commercial
Club yesterday adopted the report of the
committee on city interest. which consid-
cred the question of a new lighting con-
tract for this city. The committee favors
a postponement Of a year in letting a new
contract. The report says:
THE committee on city interests has
had under consideration the letter OF
Charles Il. Stilz, in which he protests
against the making of a new contract for
the lighting of the streets.
THE committee is informed that the pres
ent contract will not expire until July,
1903. 1t is understood that the reason for
taking bids at this time is that a consid-
cradle period will be required for the in
stallatioa Of a new plant In the event
that a contract were made with a bid
der other than the Indianapolis Light and
Power Company. This certainly Is a rea-
son for taking bids a reasonable time be-
fore the expiration Of the present con-
tract.
"In view. however, of the exceedingly
rapid development in electrical engineer
ing, and in view of the fact that il is I'M
likely that a successful bidder other than
the indianapolis Light ard Power Com
pany would have TO install an entirely
new plant. the committee is OF opinion
coed a year. In other words. the COM
mittee thinks that next year would be early
enough for the making Of a new contract.
The committee thinks the City Coun-
Gil should not now take any steps look
ing to municipal ownership Of a lighting
plant. (Signed) John b. Elan. l.. Strauss,
Fred Fahnley, John G. Williams"

A P ALLEN In TOWN
He Came TO the City 10 Call Upon
Governor Durbin.

Capt. David +. Allen. Of Company /.
Thirty-eighth United states Volunteers.
who returned a few days ago from long
service in the Philippine islands. came over
from his home IN Frankfort yesterday and
called on Governor Durbin. who rendered
him material aid in realizing his cherished
ambition to get back into military service.
Captain Allen talked interestingly OF con-
ditions IN the Philippines. He said that,
in his opinion. the American troops Will
have 10 be Withdrawn from the Islands
eventually. He can see no other solution
Of the problem. Captain Allen thinks the
men that are now being armed and
equipped by this government To assist in
keeping peace on the islands viii In time
turn against the United States. and this
will cause the American troops In the
islands TO suffer. The captain called on
Aguinaldo. and derived the impression that
the eX-chief Is as much a rebel as he ever
was, and only awaits an opportunity TO
escape and make his way into the noun
tains again. Captain Allen SAYS the Fill
pinos are treacherous and cunning. but not
brave. He says II they could only shoot
straight the American troops could not
Withstand their attacks.

CHANGES IN WATER CONTRACT.
council Committee May Report Mon
day Night, Recommending Them.

There is a probability of the council
manic committee on contracts and fran
chises making a report 10 the Council next
Monday night on the water contract. A re-
port has not been agreed upon. but a meet
ing of the committee will probably be called
for Monday afternoon. or just prior TO the
meeting OF the Council. The members have
met several times. and have practically
agreed upon the amendments to be recon-
mended in the water contract. so that IL
will require but a short time to arrange a
report.
Ii is said the fire hydrant rental will re-
ceive attention. and the committee will
probably report recommending the con-
tract 10 be sent back to the Board of
Works to nave the fire hydrant rental re-
duced. The new contract provides that
each hydrant shall cost the city So a year.
but the meEber Of the committee believe
this is TOO high. Some other minor points
may be reported on TO be amended.
One of the members of the committee
SCOTS at the talk of the Democratic citv Of
fciais, who claim the city is losing money
every month by not accepting the new
water contract at once. He said the CON
tract provides that the new rates shall be
in effect from Jan. ], 1901. and the water
company will have 10 rebate all excess
charges received under the old contract
when the new contract is finally ratihed.

KEPT AHEAD OF ORDER
MRS. ELDER WAS TOO SWIFT FOR
III INJUNCTION.
The National Surety Company Out
witted Unwittingly Other
Cases i'm the Courts.

A peculiar situation has developed out Of
the injunction suit fled last Tuesday by the
National Surety Company against County
Treasurer Armin c. Koehne and City Con-
troller Dunn. to prevent the payment of an
assessment roll TO Catherine +. Elder, one
of the creditors of James Z. Mann, a street
contractor, who turned over the assessment
roll TO secure a loan made by Mrs. Elder.
The suit was filed late Tuesday evening.
and Judge feathers issued a temporary
restraining order against Treasurer Kohne
to prevent him from paying the assessment
roll TO Mrs. Elder. The National Surety
Company was on Mann's bond, and it was
charged that Mann was yet indebted to en-
ployes and material men to the amount Of
s5l6.72, and to secure itself from the pay
ment Of these debts, asked the court TO pre-
vent the payment of the assessment roll
until the debts for labor and material were
first settled.
A deputy sheriff served the order on
Cashier Smith just as Mrs. Elder was
walking out of the treasurer's office with
a check for 81, 500 in her hand The order
was a few minutes too late, but Attorneys
Taylor & Woods thought they could yet
head off the payment Of the check by
amending their complaint SO as TO make
the bank a defendant in the petition. The
complaint was amended and Judge Leath-
ers was found late in the evening and is
sued the order against the bank 10 prevent
the aymen of the check. The notice was
served on one of the officers of the bank
Tuesday night, but Wednesday morning 1t
was learned that Mrs. Elder had her check
cashed about $3.50 in the evening, before the
second restraining order had been issued
and served. This was twice within an hour
that she barely escaped "A restraining order
and was unconscious all the time that she
was hut a few minute ahead of the court.
The National Surety Company is now try
ins to figure out how it will secure itself in
paving Mann's debts.
