GIRLS MOTHER OBDURATE.
Says She VIII Prosecute Those Who
Secured Marriage License.

A dispatch from Nation, ILL.,, says that
old May De Vein, who eloped to this city
and married Verne Hinkle, a Big Four
brakeman, not only refuses to forgive her
daughter, but will endeavor to prosecute
the person who assisted them in getting
license by falsely swearing to an affidavit.
Hinkle is a brakeman on the Big Four's
Knickerbocker train, and met Miss De
Vein by carrying her to and from st.
Mary'S, Ind, where she was attending the
convent of St. Mary's of the Woods. He
is a handsome fellow and his advances
were not repulSed.
\ correspondence started which brought
the two closer together, and then they de-
cided to marry. Mrs. Hinkle is a grand
daughter of Valentine De Vein, a pioneer
resident of Peoria, Ill, who died two years
ago, leaving a valuable estate. He was the
chief promoter in the construction of the
Chicago, Rock Island x Pacific Railway
and was a leading spirit in building up
Peoria. Her father, Noble De Vein, died
ten years ago. Later her mother married
Harry Ryan and they moved 10 Nation.
Mrs. Hinkle's share of the estate is in the
hands OF Harry Quinn, an attorney of
Peoria, who pays her a handsome allow
ance. She will come into full possession of
the property when she becomes of age.
Hinkle continues his run on the Big Four.
lie says there Is no use for his wife's peo-
pie TO object. for they decided TO get mar
ried and did so, and that is all there is to
II. His father was a Big Four engineer,
and during the gold craze in the klondike
headed an expedition 10 Alaska in the in
terests of the Nation Security, Mining and
Investment Company and was drowned in
the Yukon river. His widow resides in a
handsome residence in Nation.

WILL BEAT CY DAVIS.
w. II. Brown Nominated by Repub-
Iicans for Joint Senator.

st think we'll beat Cy Davis for joint
senator" remarked a Second district poll
tician. who was in town last night. THE
Republicans of Brown, Monroe n Greene
counties have nominated w. L. Brown, a
graduate of the State University and a
very popular young man, TO make the race
against Davis, and we think we can elect
him. The fact that Brown is a university
man will help him in Monroe county. and
the further fact that Davis while a mem
Der of the Legislature fought the univer-
sity appropriation will have its effect in
the same county. Another thing that will
initiate against Davis in that county is
the manner in which he fought Miers. TAX
ing these things into consideration the Re
publicans expect to do well In Monroe
county this year. AS an instance of
Browns strength in the county here is a
little thing that recently occurred. A vet
eran soldier. who is a Democrat and lives
in Brown county, sent for Brown to come
and see him. Brown went over, and the
veteran frankly told him that he wanted
to vote for any one who would cast his vote
for Senator Fairbanks. Thee veteran ex-
pressed great admiration for the senator,
explaining that the latter had been sue
cessful in getting some special legislation
through Congress giving him a pension.
The veteran said he wanted to vote for
some one who would support Senator Fair
banks when the Legislature selects his sue
there were four more votes in his family
that would go that way. Brown had no
trouble in making a deal with the old gen.
tleman."

WILL ELECT HOLIDAY
THE NOMINATION OF wILTERMOOD
Considered A JOKE.
He Got His First Information from n
Newspaper BuIIetin-JerOme Herf
Does Some l.

A man who is familiar with the politics
of the Fifth district said yesterday that
no one need lose a moments sleep over
the condition of that district. so far as
Representative Holidays chances for re-
election are concerned. The people Of the
district are too we'll satisfied with Mr..
Holidays first term in Congress to take
any chances on an uncertainty. II is an
noInced that the nomination of John A.
Wlltermood, Of Clinton, to make the race
against Mr.. Holiday, is considered about
Clinton as a sort of joke. 1t is further
asserted that the nomination came TO Will
termood as a complete surprise. The first
he knew of It was when he read it on a
bulletin IN front of the office OF the Clin-
tonian. a Republican newspaper of Clinton.
1t is stated that Wiltermood would not
believe Ii at first and declared a joke was
being worked on him. 1T was another
case of snap Judgment on a man., said the
Fifth district politician. 1.-The Democrats
knew the only way to get a candidate was
to nominate some one who was not there
and who could not get UP and decline the
nomination" There was a sentiment in
the district in favor of John T. Beasley, of
Terre Haute. it is said, but the Democrats
did not dare nominate him on account of
his activity against the Street-railway
strike at Terre Haute.

DEATH OF MAI. J. P. POPE
HE WAS ONE OF THE OLDEST RESI-
DENTS OF THE CITY.
An EnviabIe Record Made in the
Civil Wnr-Pierce Norton Dead
other Deaths.

Maj. Joseph p. Pope died at his home in
this city yesterday at 10 o'clock in his sew
enty-seventh year. He was among the
oldest residents of his city. coming with
his fathers family from Baltimore in the
year 1886 or 1887. He was educated in the
schools and the Marion County Seminary,
made famous by the ablest teacher that
ever lived in Observation-Disclosures S. Kemp
er. Among his schoolmates were Ma
poleon B. Taylor. James W. Brown. Au-
gustus and John Coburn. William and
Lewis Wallace, Marcus C. Smith. George
Blackboard, James c., Elijah and Calvin
Fletcher, William H. L. Noble and many
other men since we'll known in public and
private life. He was a mathematician by
taste n was very soon after leaving
school employed by his uncle Cyrus Bali
in the surveys of the polls & Terre
Haute road. He afterwards also assisted
him in the engineering of the Wabash and
Erie canal above and below Terre Haute.
About this time he married Miss Annie
Mooklar, OF Covington, KY, and settled
here in the drug business.
When the rebellion took place he volun-
teered in the Eleventh Indiana Regiment
and went out as quartermaster, discharg-
Ing the duties with great promptness and
efficiency. Afterwards he was promoted
to be a major in the quartermaster's de-
partment of the army. He served during
the war, making a fine record. He was
often seen in places where Quartermasters
were usually Scarce-on the battlefield, at
the elbow of the general, ready to bear or
ders and wide awake to every emergency.
After the war he went West and for
some years resided In California, engaging
in his old profession as an engineer. Re
turning, he emigrated to Florida and then
to his old home in this city.
For a time he served as clerk of the COM
mittee on military affairs of the House of
Congress, succeeding John B. Dillon. Since
then he has spent most of his time in this
city, being in somewhat straitened circum-
stances.
His death was a surprise to his friends,
who never regarded his failing health as
indicative of a fatal termination He leaves
an honorable name as a quiet, careful, in.
dustriouS and brave man. There is nc
stain on his record: nothing TO remember
of him but a manly life.
His funeral will take place to-day from
his residence, No. 1919 Ruckle street, a.

Verged on Republication.

The most gifted young orator in all the
Democracy of Montgomery and adjoining
counties is said TO be Michael Foley, a
silver-tongued young Irishman of Craw-
louisville. Mr.. Foley is ambitious in a po-
litical way, and on numerous occasions he
has been mentioned in connection with a
congressional nomination. The young man
is shrewd, however, and does not care to
take the chances against the big odds in
the Ninth district. Ii is said that one of
the rankest admissions he ever made was
at Upton last July. He was invited there
to make the Fourth of July Grafton. After
he had concluded a fine talk an acquaint-
ance who happened to be a Republican re-
marked to him.: Foley, you came pretty
near making a Republican speech"
Yes" remarked the young man. you
can't make a Fourth of July address with
out making a Republican speech. In fact,
YOU can't talk about the country at all
without making a Republican speech"

heavy Union Traction Company's cars will
not make so much noise. The reconstruc-

LEFT CHECKS BEHIND.
The Two Aged Crooks Were "Foxy"
Enough to Get Rid of Them.

Michael j. Murray, alias Walls, and James
Davis, whose right name is said TO be
Samuel Clark, who were released yesterday
morning in Police Court, left behind them
a souvenir in the shape of several bogus
bank checks. Last night a little girl walke
into the police station and threw a small
card case on the desk and said she had
found it. Sergeant Crane opened the case
and found two checks. one drawn on the
Second National Bank of ST. Paul, Mimi,
for $3.50. The check was payable TO William
Daniels. but was signed by W. H. Murray.
Detective John Morgan, who with Jerry
Kinney. arrested the two old crooks. was
shown the checks and recognized them at
once. He said that Murray signed the
checks. but another man had written them.
Morgan laughed when he was shown the
two checks. He said they were materials
the two old men used in their various
swindling games. The other check was
drawn on the Boatmen's Bank of St. Louis.
The little girl said she found the case near
Pearson's drug store. Alabama and Wash
ington streets. The detectives are of opin-
ion that Murray slipped the case from his
pocket as ne was being walked to the police
station He feared that if the checks were
found on them by Morgan their conviction

The check drawn for Daniels showed that
someone unacquainted with orthographv
had done the writing. In the word Daniels
the letter 81 was omitted. Murray's name
was signed TO the checks. but it was writ

said Murray was hardly able 10 write his
own name. The checks will be kent i'm the
office of the detectives as souvenirs.

JEROME HERFF TALKS.
A Democratic Candidate Who Says
Victory Is in sight.

Jerome Herff, of Peru, Democratic candi-
date for treasurer of state, was at the
Grand Hotel last night. Mr.. Herff possesses
a degree of cheerfulness and confidence
that is striking in these days of Democratic
reverses and boiling candidates. Mr.. Hern
wants 20 be elected chiefly as a matter of
principle and not because he thinks he
can run the state treasurer's office with
more skill than Leopold Levy. He wants
the office because he wants il and because
he wants the rascals turned out. We've
got them skinned to a finish" was his
somewhat inelegant remark last night in
predicting the disastrous defeat of the Re-
publican party this fall.
Mr.. Herf does not claim to be a speech
maker, but he expects TO make some quiet
little talks this campaign. According to
his present plans his issue will be the al
legged bad management of state Institutions
by Republicans. Mr.. Herff has an idea
that any man who will take the time to
look up these matters will find an appalling
state Of affairs. He will attempt TO show
up some of these things. He recalls that in
1890, when the Democrats made a winning
in Indiana, they almost had TO draft can
didates to get them on the ticket. Since
there is a suspicion this year that some Of
the candidates nominated would just as
soon be off the ticket, Mr.. Herf warns the
Republicans that history is liable to repeat
itself.

Nycewander's Wagon Struck by
an Engine.

Adam Nycewander, whose home is IN
Edinburg. but who boards at No. loo North
Alabama street. was painfully injured yes
terday at noon as he was crossing the
Monon tracks at Sixteenth street. Nyce-
wander was brought TO the City Dispen-
sary, where an examination by DR.. Fore
man disclosed several bruises on the hips
and back. Nycewander said he was driv-
ing west on Sixteenth street and had to
stop when he came 10 the crossing on ac-
count of the number Of trains switching.
The crossing was made clear, he said, and
he drove on to the main track. when he was
quickly stopped by the fagman, who rushed
out and caught hold of the traces. Nyce-
wander said he saw a train back quickly on
the track. He turned the heads of the
mules and tried to jump, but before he
could move the engine had struck the rear
of the wagon, throwing him TO the pave
ment. The wagon was demolished. NYce-
wander was pulled TO a place of safety or
he would have been ground to pieces by a
train passing on the next track. The mules
were not injured.

NO MORE PAYF0R FIREMEN
1T Is THOUGHT III COUNCIL WILL
DEFEAT ORDINANCE.
ContrcIIer Breunig May Not Recon-
mend the ApprOPriation-Other
Municipal Affairs.

Friends of the ordinance providing an in
crease in the pay of members OF the fire
department are alarmed because of the be-
lief that, if ii is called before the Council
for passage, it will be defeated. In arrang-
ing the city's budget for 1908 it is under
stood that Controller Breunig has been I'M
able to find the means needed TO make the
increases effective. If the ordinance is
passed il would be necessary for the con-
troller 10 include an appropriation TO pay
the increased rate. This increase amounts
10 S26, OG and is regarded as beyond the
means Of the city at this time to provide
for. In making the stimates for next year
the controller is observing the ~strictest
economy, as the Cit is still feeling the
effect Of the Taggart Scent levy in 1899.
To provide for all the necessities Of the
various departments is a problem that the
controller is now sitting UP nights to solve.
The Board OF Public Sofety is also, 1T is
understood. averse TO loading it's estimates
with such a large increase in the fire force
pay roll. This is not because of parsi-
moniOusness, but because the circum-
stances will not permit the increase asked
for. no matter how justly the board feels
that il should be made. If the hremen are
increased it is understood the police will

Recognizing the inadequacy Of the city's
income to provide for these increases the
Council will, in all probability. not pass the
ordinance providing for the iremen's in
crease, although it has met with unanimous
approval by the committees on fees and
salaries. The friends OF the ordinance are
fearful that If it comes to a vote now it
will run the nance of defeat and for that
reason il may not be acted on until after
the estimates have been approved. "A num-
Der OF cOuncilmen who are friendly TO the
proposed increases say that. unless they
have the Endorsement of the controller, they
will not be passed. This Endorsement, il is
said. Is more than doubtful
