Will Furnish Gravel to Lowndea
 County for Repairing Road.


 Hayneville, Oct. 16-(Special.)-The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Com pany has agreed to deliver at Letohatchie free of charge to the county of Lowndes. the necessary gravel to put the road between Hayneville and Letohatchie in first class condition. The distance from Hayneville to Letohatchie. the nearest railway station. Is seven miles. In winter this road is almost impossible 1t orten takes from two to four hours to make the trip, and even in the dry season the road is very rough, due to the character of the soil This action of the railroad company virtually amounts to gift to the county of about $25,00O. as 1t would cost that sum to land the gravel at Leto- hatchie and the only expense the county will be put to in the matter will be to haul the gravel from Letohatchie. It is understood that this was brought about through the influence of MT. Charles F. Rogers, Jr, of Ietohatchie.

L~AUNDRYMEN IN SESSION.
Trade and Business Methods Dis
cussed-Evening at the Theater.

The annual meeting of the Indiana State
Laundrymen's Association was called to
order at the Bates House yesterday at 10
a. m. by President Charles r.. McKeen, of
Terre Haute. The morning was chiefly
devoted to business matters. Twelve or
fifteen new member were taken in and
committees were announced.
Al the afternoon session two papers were
read. One was entitled Business Methods
and was read by Major Taylor. Mr.. Taylor
said that laundrymen are not as careful
and methodical In their business affairs as
they should be. He urged that more care
be observed among laundrymen in manag-
ing their business. He thought that a high
standard of business integrity should be
observed among laundrymen as we'll as I'm
other lines of business. An essay on
Washing was contributed by Walter
I.utes. 1t was g technical talk on the
methods employed by laundrymen in wash
ing clothes. Reports from the secretary
and treasurer ana special committees were
also had in the afternoon. About seventy
five Indiana laundrymen are attending the
meeting and the States of Ohio, Kentucky
and Illinois are represented. George +. Sim
mons, president of the National Association
of Laundrymen, is here.
Last night the visitors attended the per-
Torrance at the Grand Opera House as
guests of the indianapolis Laundrymen'
Club. New officers will be elected at the
meeting to-day.

PERILS OF THE CHURCH.
Rev. r.. :. Hensen, of Chicago, Says
They Are Many.

The Rev. p. S. Hensen, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Chicago. lectured
at the First Baptist Church last night to a
union meeting of the Baptists OF the city.
His subject was The Perils and Possibili-
ties of the Modern Church" He said the
cry of men that there is peace in church
affairs is misleading. Instead, he said, the
fight is on, the iercest fight the church has
ever had. He said the perils are greater
than i'm olden times and ministers nave be-
Titled Christianity by representing that it
is easy. He asserted that it required a
effort to live a Christian life.
and that the way religion is belittled is the
reason men are kept out of churches. The
heroic element should be appealed to. he
said, and this would interest the men.
This is the most p~erilous time the church
has seem" he continued, land the hardest
fight is reserved for the church till the last
day. We are getting worse and we are get
ting better. We are nearing the tropics of
Christian civilization. In the tropics we
find the most luxuriant growth of every
thing. In the last days there will be mon
sters that the world has never seen, and
there will be strong and pure men and
women that the world has never known to
ight and win the victory

AN IMPORTANT RULING.
The Efect of n Ruling Made by Judge
Lenthers.

Judge feathers yesterday held that mon
ey paid to a receiver through a mistake
in law may be recovered in ~overruling a.
demurrer 10 the intervening petition of
Catherine Brenig in the case of William
r. Meyers against the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company. of which the Union Trust
Company is receiver. The ruling not only
affects the personal interests of Catherine
Brenig, but of a number of other litigants.
whom the petitioner represented in her
contention, and means that between $4,000
and SIS, 900 will be paid back TO the persons
who were debtors of the insurance COM
pany.
After the appointment of a receiver for
the insurance company many mortgages
We're paid off, the receiver demanding a
certain amount in addition to the original
principal. This was according to a ruling
of Judge Harvey which was afterward
modified by Judge Baker, of the Supreme
Court, who held hat the mortgageors were
entitled to recover the additional sum eX-
acted. Unde this ruling Catherine Brenig.

5000 from the insurance company, and
was required to pay an additional sum Of
$3.50 in canceling her mortgage, filed an
intervening petition for the recovery of
the sum exacted. The Union Trust Com
pany filed a demurrer. which was over
ruled. The amounts exacted from other
debtors aggregate between $12. 600 and SIS, 600,
which will now be paid back TO the bOr-
roWers.

INFATUATED WITH CUBA
ATTORNEY GENERAL TAYLOR RE-
TURNS FROM THE ISLAND.
The Better Citizens, He Says, Desire
American Rule or Projections
Business Opportunities.

Attorney General William L. Taylor re-
turned from a business trip TO Cuba yes
terday, and has much to say of the great
progress that has been made in the island
since the Spanish-American war.
Cuba is a surprise to everybody that
goes there" said Mr.. Taylor. 1T is natur-
ally richer, with few exceptions. than any
State in the Union. The one thing that
prevents the island from advancing TO a
position of great wealth and power is the
uncertainty of its government. The Span
iards own most of the property in the cities
and the greater part of the lands In the
country and they generally prefer annexa-
tion TO the United States. The Cubans who
are in trade, or on the plantations. favor
annexation or the protection of the Amer
lean government. The ex-soldiers of the
Cuban army are for independence. The
sentiment for annexation is growing, how
ever, and the ultimate hope of Cuba is 70
be a State of this Union. They are fast
learning that the freest government in the
world is to be found in an American State.
They are sending their teacher over here
TO study American customs and laws. The
Americans on the island are building rail-
roads through territory where the inhabi-
tants have never seen or heard of q rail-
road.
1.-The stockyards at Havana are owned by
Americans, as are the electric light and ice
plants. The ten years war and the late war
combined devastated the whole island.
What the Spaniards did not burn
the insurgents destroyed. AS an ex-
ample of this, there were 100000 head
of cattle on the island at the begin
ming of the last war, and at its close
there were less than $1,000 head. Every
thing on the island centers in Havana
which is the most beautiful city in the
OF any city on earth. The very water with
which the streets are sprinkled is first
chemically treated with germ-destroying
ingredients. General Wood is now going
through the private residences, cleaning
and purifying them all. The harbor, which
used TO be so filthy that the sharks could
not live in it, is now clear and clean. The
trouble with Havana has been a lack of
sewers. A few surface water sewers have
emptied into the bay, but nearly all OF the
sewage for 200 years has run into cess
pools. On Wednesday of this week a con-
tenn costing about 100000 will be let. The
main trunk of the sewer Will be laid in a
tunnel under the bay and up over the hill
between Cabanas and Moro, thence down
and out into the gulf stream, which will
carry the sewage of Havana out TO sea.
with a government we'll established
there will be better opportunities in almost
every department of trade, business and
agriculture i'm Cuba than in any state or
the Union. Excellent land for fruit raising
can be purchased at the present time for
from s. TO SIS an acre."
Ex~-Postmaster Thompson, Mr.. Taylor
said, has an excellent position with the
Street-rallWaY company.

TALK OF CONSOLIDATION
1T is AGAIN BROUGHT BEFORE THE
BOARD OF TRADE.
George C. Tanner Opposed to Joining
with the commercial Club-FOr
"a New Home.

AT a meeting of the Board OF Trade last
night. the matter of the consolidation of
the Board of Trade with the Commercial
Club, which was preached with such Ill
success two or three years ago. was again
brought before the governors for their
consideration in the form of a resolution
offered by Edgar H.. Evans. Little time was
given to discussion of the matter, how
ever, as it was late when Mr.. Evans sprung
his proposition and those present were tired
and anxious to get away. Mr.. Evans said
he had talked the matter over with several
members of both organizations and ii had
apparently met with universal favor. He
insisted tina the two organizations could
letter accomplish their purpose by being
consolidated than by each pursuing a sep
arate course. The work of both organiza-
tions in certain lines, he said, was being
neglected. and by forming a new organi-
zation a great Improvement would be made.
George G. Tanner was very much opposed
to consolidating. He said the Commercial
Club had been organized long after the
Board of Trade was on a substantial foot
ing, and there had been no earthly need
Tor the organization, as it professed TO
work on the same lines as the Board or
Trade. Whatever the Indianapolis business
men may nave suffered, he said, from the
rivalry and jealousy that existed between
the two organizations should be attributed
TO the Commercial Club, as the Board or
Trade had been i'm nc wise at fault. The
matter. on motion of Judge Martindale,
was finally laid on the table until the next
meeting.
A considerable portion of the time at last
nights meeting was devoted to a discussion
OF the disposal of the present home OF the
board and the purchase OF a new home.
A majority of those present were very
much ayerse to expanding any considerable
sum on the building owned by The board
at the present time, and spoke in favor OF a
site where a pretentious building could be
erected or maintained which would better
afford the exigencies demanded. The build
ing committee. in conjunction with the
finance committee, was instructed 10 secure
a desirable site and report upon a plan
at the next meeting.

Thomas l.. Catterson were elected TO MEM

THE BAKING POWDER BILL
III. B. GATES WANTS 1T PRINTED As
ORIGINALLY DRAWN.
Mandamus Proceedings Against the
Secretary OF S~tate-Judg Leath-
ers's Opfnion-Court Cases.

Judge Carter, of the Superior Court,
yesterday issued an alternative writ OF
mandate requiring the secretary of state
to print what is known as the Gates baking
powder bill. which is alleged to have been
mutilated by scratching out the words "or
bitartrate of potassium" with the omitted
words inserted. The argument on the Pc
tition was set for ? o'clock tomorrow aft
ernoon, when the merits of the case will
be presented TO Judge Carter by Jameson
& Joss for the plaintiff, and Assistant At
torney General Merrill Moores for the
State. The States attitude in the case is
to prevent any litigation that will postpone
the printing of the acts of the Legislature
of 1901.
The plaintiff in his petition did not make
any charge against persons who mutt
lated the bill. but merely requested the
court to compel Secretary of State Union
b. Hunt to nave the act printed with the
omitted words inserted.
Assistant Attorney General Moores was
present when the petition was filed, and at
once entered a demurrer TO the petition.
He set out in the demurrer that the court
has no jurisdiction over the defendant, that
the court has no jurisdiction over the sub
ject of action and that the petition does
not state sufficient facts to constitute a
cause for action. The defense will also con-
tend that there is no law under which such
proceedings can be brought. Mr.. Moores
wanted to argue the case at once, but Mr..
Jameson objected. Mr.. Moores said his
object was to prevent any delay in print
ing the statutes. Mr.. Jameson said there
is plenty of time, but as the case may go
to the Supreme Court, an early date was
set for hearing the argument. The issuing
of the alternative writ will be of no ma
terial consequence until the argument is
heard and a final decision made.

The suit of James Thompson against
John c.. Love, of Brewer & Love Brothers,
proprietors of the West Washington-street
wooden mills. for $1,000 for alleged breach
OF contract was on trial before Judge Car
ter yesterday. Thompson AYERS that he is
an expert in managing the textile industry

structiOn OF machinery and the arrange
ment of the plant for the defendants. He
