One great objection to the new char
ter that was prepared two years ago
was that it created several boards,
made the administration more cumber-
some, and largely increased the salary
roll. Many members of the former
commission objected to this, refusing
to sign the report or signing under
mental protest. The new commission
will probably avoid this mistake

The suggestion was made today that
the alderman at large be ex-oficio
vice president of the council. This
would prevent wrangling over the
position of vice president such as has
occurred in the past. There is some
opposition to the project of having any
alderman at large.

COULD NOT HOLD ROTH.
Negro Escapes from n Policeman.
Leaving His Companion.

No little excitement was created in the
vicinity of Fifteenth and II streets north
east shortly after o'clock last night by
the sudden escape of young negro who
had been taken into-custody by Police
man McTaggart, OF the Ninth precinct,
together with a negro woman, and both
of whom McTaggart had placed on a car
at Chesapeake Junction. intending to
bring them to this city to the stationhouse.
Both the man and the woman, who
were under the influence of liquor, acted
in such manner that although II brought
no complaint from the Junction crowd,
attracted the attention of McTaggart.
The bluecoat at once placed them under
arrest, and grasping the woman by the
arm and the man by the collar, got
aboard one of the trolley cars.
McTaggart watched his prisoners with
an eagle eye, and everything went
smoothly until the terminus of Fifteenth
and II Streets northeast was reached.
Owing to the crowded condition of the
car. McTaggart made his captyes sit
quietly until the crowd had alighted, and
then letting the man step of, held on his
collar firmly and with his other hand
clung to the woman.
In the meantime a large crowd gathered
and in few minutes all was confusion.
The negro man gave a violent jerk which
nearly threw the bluecoat, and having
succeeded in freeing himself made dash
in the direction Of the crowd, which i'm
mediateiy parted and afforded the fugi-
tive paSSa geway.
McTaggart. in the meantime. made a
frantic effort to grasp the man by the
cost. He ran for some distance. dragging
the woman with him But his efforts were
fruitless, for the woman prisoner began
to pull in N opposite direction thus
tarding The policsman's progress.
But the negro fugitive was not to es-
cape without being given a chase, and in
few minutes a mob Of bystanders were
in full pursuit up Fifteenth Street toward
Gales Street Some Of the pursuers hurled
bricks al the receding form of the negro,
but their craftsmanship was poor and
the last seen of the frightened darkey
was when he rounded street corner at a
high rate Of speed. One by one his pur-
suers gave up the chase, and Policeman
McTagsart secured firmer grasp upon
his lone prisoners neck and marched her
to the station
4 lookout giving n description of the
escaped man was read over the telephone
to the different policemen. but up to a
late hour last night he had not been
captured.

his confession to the Times reporter. He

We're having a little fun boxing when the

NEITHER SALARY INCREASED.
The LOuisvShe and indianapolis
POstmastcrs to Receive No Rinse.

Postmaster General Smith yesterday
fixed the salaries of the postmasters at
Louisville and indianapolis at $4,000 each
for the current fiscal year.
Some time ago it became evident to the
postmaster at louisville that the gross
receipts of his! office for the year ending
March 81. 1900 would approximate $50, 900.
If that figure were passed the postmas-
ters salary would be Increased from $1,000
TO s5.o0o and he would have stronger
claim on the department for additional
clerks and carriers. Representations We're
made TO the business men of Louisville
that If the gross receipts exceeded s510.0eo
the service could be improved, and they
purchased stamps in large quantities for
future use. Tine commercial rivalry ex-
listing between indianapolis and Louisville
induced the busiL@ss men of Indiana polls
To follow the example of their Southern
competitors and in both cases the gross
receipts exceeded the $500. 900 mark.
AS the receipts fell off considerably af-
ter March 81 the Postmaster General or
dered an investigation and being con-
WINGED that the business of the offices was
unnaturally stimulated and being desirous
to discontinue such methods he has re-
fused to increase the compensation of the
postmasters at either place.
