FRANCHISE PETITION DENIED.
Union City Council Drafts a Drastic
Franchise of Its own.
al to the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
UNION CITY, Ind, Oct. 26.-Contrary to
all expectations, the City Council of this
city has rejected the request of the Rich
mond, Union City & Portland Interurban
Electric line for a franchise in this city,
which asked for the usual privileges, and
in place thereof has had a franchise pre-
pared by a special committee, which has
been offered the company. Some of the
features of this franchise are as follows:
Thirty-year franchise, company to guar
antee the city against all loss by electricity
sis: 10 per cent. of the gross earnings of
the road TO go to this city in return for
privileges granted; the city to have access
10 the cOmpany's books once year; fare
to be 5 cents, with transfer privileges, six
fares for % cents and twenty-five for 81;
streets and alleys wanted for use to be
specified in the franchise; the City Park
and the water works grounds TO be left
intact; the company to have nine months
to begin the work and eighteen months to
complete the same; no car to stand still
within the city limits for more than two
minutes at a time.
This offer will be rejected by the COM
pany, and what the next move of the COM
pany will be is a matter of conjecture. 1t
is thought the Councils action in the mat
ter is due more to personal causes than a
desire to help the city.

EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY.
Marion's business Better and OF n
Higher Class Than Ever Before.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MARION, Ind, Oct 26.-Marion mer-
chants are much gratifed over the phe-
nomenal Tall trade enjoyed by them this
season. So far the fall records Of the mer-
camille activity in Marion have been COM
pletely eclipsed, and nothing even re-
motely approaching to the amount of bust
ness done this fall has ever been known
here. Aside from the fact that the volume
of trade has been much larger than ever
before in this city, the class of trade also
has been better. Cheap goods are COM
paratively a drug On the market, the de-
mand being for the more expensive lines.
In all branches of the mercantile trade this
condition exists
The present conditions are accounted for
by the fact that all the factories of the city
are in operation. with the exception of the
one owned by the window glass trust and
it resumes next week Better wages are
also being paid than ever before. The oil
industry which is practically new to these
parts, also has developed into a big bust
ness, and the men employed in this branch
of industry are highly paid. The farmers
as WELL are enjoying good times. They
seem 10 have plenty of money, and are
more liberal in their living.
