STOLE TWO TONS OF PROPERTY.
Thomas w. Holmes Looted Icehouse
of Arthur Jordan Company.

Thomas W. Holmes, a colored man, who
has served ten years in Indiana prisons
was arrested yesterday by Detectives Col
bert and Hauser charged with stealing
property valued at about $500 and weighing
about two tons. The ice-cutting machinery
of the Arthur Jordan Company was found
to have been dismantled of some of it's
portable parts when it was overhauled a
few days ago preparatory to the ice har-
vest. The machinery was stored in an ice
house on West Fourteenth street and had
been looted of its portable junk some time
during the summer.
With the little information that could be
secured from the owners of the property
the detectives decided that Holmes was the
thief and arrested him at 240 West Wash
ington street, where he is employed as a
porter in a saloon He admitted his guilt
after some questioning and said that he
had sold the plunder to a junk dealer.
ago. When he was being questioned at the
police station Detective Colbert thought he
recognized Holmes, and after talking 10
him for while remembered that he had
been instrumental in sending Holmes to the
penitentiary in 1856 for seven years for
burglary of the clothing factory of Louis
Dessar on South Meridian street On the
same night he broke into the business
house of Caspar Schmallholtz and carried
off much plunder After being released
from prison for these crimes he went to
Frankfort and committed another burglary
which secured him three years more in the
penitentiary. He was lost sight of by the
local police until he was arrested yesterday
and charged with grand larceny.

FAvORs VOTING MACHINES.
Lieut.. Gov. Gilbert Gives His Views
on the Subject.

In discussing the question of the adop-
ton OF voting machines last evening at
the Columbia Club Lieutenant Governor
Gilbert said that there was one argument
in favor of machines that appealed to him
more strongly than the others that are
being advanced-that is, the use of ma
chimes will eliminate the corruption of the
ballot.
There is no Disgusting the fact" said
the Lieutenant Governor that there is
more or less buying and selling OF votes
at every election: that the evil is grow
ing, and that ii is serious menace 10
our government. The State has attempted
TO curb this evil in various ways. First
we had law TO punish the man who buys
4 vote, but il was ineffective because the
men who sold their franchise wished TO
do IL at every election. and they would
not inform on the purchasers. Then we
tried furnishing both buyer and seller, but
that was found even more unsatisfactory.
At present the law provides only for the
punishment of the seller and IL promises
TO accomplish something i'm the way of re-
form, but it is not curing the evil. by any
means, and the law has serious weak
nesses.

NATIONAL CHAIRMAN SPOKE.
Oliver w. Stewart, of Illinois, Ad-
dresses PrOhibitiOnists.

The inclement weather was not sufficient
to deter large number of the members of
the Prohibition party from turning out
last night at the meeting in Masonic Hall
to hear National Chairman Oliver w. Stew
Indiana Prohibitionists in their jubilee over
the results of the late election. The hall
was well filled in numbers, while in enthusi-
asm it was crowded to the doors. Mr.. Stew
arts speech received the closest attention
and ELECTED frequent bursts of applause
Mr.. Stewart undertook to answer the
usual objections which are made to the
Prohibition party. First he took up the OBJ
lection that the cause advocated by the
party and the means offered in its support
are impractical, and he answered this by
arguing that every other method that has
been tried to bring about the end of the
evil of intemperance has proved imprac-
tical and that the means offered by the Pro-
hibitionists should be given a fair trial. A
second objection that the Prohbitionists
will not cooperate with other good plans
he answered by saying that they were try
ing TO build up great party and in such
work they could not compromise.
The objection that the party ignores other
great issues, such as the tariff and money
questions, he met with the argument that
IneSe OIner issues nave not Deen settled Dy
the other parties. To the last objection that
the Prohibitionist goes ahead and votes
when he knows positively that he cannot
hope to elect his ticket, he replied that he
gloried in the party that could bind men
to such an action and that ii was the only
way in which great party could be built
up.
M. w. Harkins presided at the meeting
and made an Introductory address in which
he discussed the field of the party in mu-
nicipal politics.
