FATHER SEEKS HIS CHILD
WILLIAM PITCHER ASKS FOR A
WRIT OF HABEAs CORPUS.
His Son Has Been with DIR. K. 8. Alex
ander's Family in Trafalgar
Heavy Damage Suits Filed.

William Pitchers suit against DR.. Eu-
gene S. Alexander. Mrs Alexander and
other members of the Alexander family for
writ OF habeas corpus for the possession
OF his eight-year-old son Lester was heard
by Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court in
the county law library yesterday. Pitcher
sues TO recover his child, which he has
boarded with the Alexanders In Trafalgar.
Ind, since the death of his wife, two years
ago. He claims that DR.. Alexander re-
fuses him the custody of his child, and
that another son, Lawrence, two years
older than Lester, was found by him in the
streets of Trafalgar and is now at his
home. He testified that he secured board
for his children with DR.. Alexander at a
stipulated price of 50 a week, and that now
that he has arranged for home for him
self and children with his parents he is
competent to care for them himself and
wants the other child turned over to him.
The defense of Alexander is that Pitcher
is man unfit to care for children and
has in the past neglected to provide for
them and in other ways showed his un-
htness- He had several witnesses to prove
that Pitcher drinks to excess and bears a
poor reputation for sobriety and steadfast-
ness among his acquaintances In Franklin
and other places Alexander testified that
Pitcher agreed to pay s. a week for the
board of the children and has not done So
He insists that the court should see that a
better home for the child with Pitcher is
assured before he be compelled to deliver
1t to Its father. The case was continued
until to-day in order to hear the rest Of the
evidence for the defense

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
MUCH INTEREST BEING TAKEN IN
THE CEREALS AND FLOUR.
Prices Are Firm, but No Advances
Grain Market Lifeless, and
General Weak Tone Prevails.

Trade yesterday was in fair volume. A
good deal of interest is now taken in the
cereal markets. Flour rules steady and is
very firm, but does not advance with other
articles that come into general consump-
tion. An exchange says: THE good
things that we have had to say about flour
for the past three weeks will bear repeti-
ton. and it has developed nothing of an
unsatisfactory nature. In fact, the news
from Minneapolis that the threatened
strike had been averted is favorable fea-
ture. for the enforced shutting down of
the mills at this time of year, when large
contracts are awaiting completion, would
have been a serious blow to the whole
flour trade. 1t is also generally reported
that the prospects are good, for the con-
suming demand is of excellent proper
tons, and stocks in the hands of distribu-
tors, or coming to them on forward con-
tracts, are by no means excessive.
There has been a firm and steady mar
ket for all classes of -four. In fact, the
steadiness of prices has been quite noticea-
BILE. in view of the ups and downs of
wheat.
The wholesale grocers are enjoying a big
trade. the demand for staple groceries and
for fancy stock as well being unusually
large. The iron and steel market, with
cooler weather. is becoming more active,
and prices firm in tone. In dried fruits
also there is considerable interest. The
new crops are coming into the market.
New figs are offered, and California fruits
are arriving in considerable quantities.
Apricots and peaches are steady, and cur
rants and raisins are in good demand.
Canned goods are advancing in tendency,
and, while tomatoes are selling at old
prices, jobbers are not pushing sales, be-
ing convinced that higher prices are to
prevail in the near future. The leather
market is in strong position. and an ad-
vance in harness leather is probable In
the drug line there is a good deal of ac-
tivity. Linseed oils carry an easy tone,
and are weak at quotations. On Commits
sior row there is a good deal of business
in progress, and prices have ruled very
firm and steady thus far this week. In
all lines of business trade Is healthy in its
volume.
b. III. Howell's Son & Co. and Arbuckle
Brothers have reduced all refined grades of
sugar points.

Rachael Schrader-Another Claim.

Street Railway Sued for $685. by
Rachael Schrader-Another Claim.
In a suit filed yesterday Rachel Schrader
demands judgment for $4,000 against the
indianapolis Street-railway Company for
injuries received in an accident which oc-
CURED May 9. In which she was thrown
from a Observation-Disclosures car at New
York street and severely injured. She
AYERS that in alighting from the car. which
she had caused to stop by a signal to the
conductor, she was not given sufficient
time. and the sudden jerk of the car start
Ing forward caused her to be thrown to the
asphalt pavement. Her thigh bone was
broken, necessitating the use of crutches
for the rest of her life she claims, and she
was bruised and suffered injuries the pain
of which and expense attached to the cure
of her injuries caused a loss to her of her
means Of maintenance for the future.
Another suit filed against the street car
company was that of Eta Carter, who
asks 1000 for injuries received In alight-
ing from Prospect-street car at Illinois
and Washington streets She claims that
the car started before she could get off and
her fall to the pavement was due to the
negligence of the street car employees.

The Antf-Pass Agreement.

New York Commercial.
No one will undertake to deny that the
poor old trunk-line anti-pass agreement is
in extremis, nor that its career has been
a wosful disappointment That the presi-
dents will hesitate a long time before they
unitedly become responsible again for
bringing into the railroad world another
such specimen Of their creation is con-
sidered equally true. AS has been stated
before. 1t is to-day despised and repudiated
flung into corner TO die by inches; and
1t seems to be the special delight whenever
the opportunity is afforded to give it a
kick TO help along its ultimate dissolution.
Such treatment is becoming more and more
conspicuous and manifestations of con-
tempt for it's needs more frequent Prob
ably nothing in the history of the trunk
lines offers a parallel 10 what has marked
its feeble life almost from its birth.

STATUE OF PULASKI.
Representative Bricks Success I'm Sc
curing an Appropriation for IL.

Special 10 the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-Among the Wis
itors already assembling in Washington in
anticipation of the Grand Army encamp-
ment there is an unusual interest exhibited
in the various beautiful statues commence
rating military heroes which have been
erected in this city. Since the last Grand
Army encampment was held here the Han
cock statue and the Logan statue have
been placed in position and the pedestal for
the Sherman statue is in place, just oppo-
site the Treasury Department. But per-
haps the greatest object of interest is the
plan for beautifying Lafayette Park, in
front of the White House. When the vet
Grams were here at the last encampment
held in Washington only one OF the four
at each corner Of the park, was in place
that of Lafayette. At each corner of La
fayette square. according to the present
plan Of those who are working on the park
improvement system OF the Nations capi-
tai, Is to stand a magnificent heroic figure
OF one OF the foreign patriots who. gave
support TO the revolutionary fathers I'm
their struggle for Independence. The La
fayette statue was the first one placed
there. and the idea of having the four
statues so placed was never suggested until
the last session OF Congress. when Repre-
sentative Brick. of South Bend. secured
the passage OF the bill I'm the House TO
erect a statue of Count Pulaski I'm WASH
ington The Rochambeau statue had been
unveiled with imposing ceremonies Just be-
fore Mr. Bricks bill passed the House
When, after repeated efforts that would
have discouraged the average member OF
Congress. MIR. Brick. with the aid OF SEN
ator Fairbanks. secured the consent of
Speaker Henderson to allow his bill 10 be
taken up for consideration in the House
the idea occurred 10 Congressman Bar
thold. OF ST Louis. 10 have an appropria-
ton made at the same time for the erec-
tion OF a statue 10 Baron Steuben. The
propriety Of this amendment readily oc-
CURED 10 every member OF Congress and
Mr. Brick gladly consented 10 IT.
There is no doubt that at the next session
OF Congress the Senate will pass Mr..
Bricks bill, which will be pending when
Congress meets in December and the stat
ues of Pulaski and Steuben will be added
10 those OF Lafayette and Rochambeau. In
anticipation Of the certain passage OF the
bill those who are interested In the per-
manent park Improvement plans OF WASH
ington are making arrangements with the
necessary committees and consulting the
best plans OF placing the statues.
Some people to-day recalled the vigorous
efforts OF Mr.. Brick TO have his bill passed.
and the remark he made at one time last
winter, when the outlook was very discour-
aging. that no act of his official career
would give him more pride than the pas
sage OF the bin for the statue OF the patriot
Pulaski.

The annual meeting of the Hooking Val.
ley system of roads will be held next Tues
day in Columbus, and following this meet
ing 1t is understood that important changes
in the higher officials of the road will go
into effect. 1t is said that If the Wander
bits have secured control of the Hooking
Valley there will be a change in the higher
officials of the road. The majority of the
stock of the Ohio Central and X. NJ
is held by the stockholders of the Hooking
Valley and both of these roads would be
affected by any change that is made. This
