Oliver was down in the ditch assisting
other workmen in joining a section of the
pipe line. Suddenly the embankment on
the left side gave way, nearly covering the
workmen. The other men escaped when
they saw the earth giving way but Oliver
thinking that nothing serious would hap

of earth fell upon him Oliver was thrown
PROSTATE over the huge iron pipe. 1t Is
thought he received his injuries in that
manner.
Washington street at the time of the ac-

women were standing along the sidewalk
watching the workmen laying the pipe.
When the embankment fell screams rent
the air and Ii was rumored that several
men had been buried alive. A call was sent
TO the police station for ambulances and
the patrol wagon. The call said that the

down the street caused a great crowd TO

his home, Morris and Chestnut streets in

STORY OF NANNETTE GWYNN.
Her Father Has Heard Nothing of Her
Since Saturday.

The parents of Nannette Gwynn living
at $40 Goodet avenue in Haughville, in
explaining the disappearance of their
daughter say they. are sure she had re-
turned to the home of w. r. Reed, an old
friend of Mr.. Gwynn in Chicago. Mr..
Gwynn said after his first wife died. which
was about eight years ago, Reed took
little Nannette to his Chicago home. The
girl was sent to convent, where she re-
manned two years. She next took course
at the Chicago University and then went
to a Chicago art school. During her resi-
dence in Chicago the girl correspondent
with her father and often expressed the
wish that she could be near him. short
time ago Mr.. Reed brought the girl to
her fathers home. Mr.. Gwynn married
about seven years ago and when Nannette
saw her stepmother she appeared much

return to Chicago without the girl. IL is
said that since her residence in this city
Nannette Gwynn has shown no dislike for
the humble home of her father, but on
the contrary seemed delighted with her
surroundings When she left home last
Saturday nothing was thought of the in
cident at the time, Mrs Gwynn thinking
that the girl was merely going uptown to
visit some friend.

WITH THE GOVERNOR
GATHERING INFORMATION ON THE
CONTRACT LABOR QUESTION.
Prominent Citizens of Indiana Assist
ing the observation-disclosures enda-
tfons to Legislature.

The men appointed by Governor Durbin
the convict labor question met in the Gov
ernor's office yesterday afternoon in con-
ference to which they had been invited by
the Governor. Edgar A. Perkins, of In
dianapolis. representing organized labor in
this district; d. +. Kennedy, of Anderson,
editor of the Gas Belt Labor News: L. p.
Mccormack, state labor commissioner; d.
III. McAbee, state factory inspector; C. M.
Kimbrough, of Muncie, member of the
Northern Prison board; John c. Williams,
member of the board of trustees of the In
diana Reformatory; G. A. III. Shideler, of
Marion, representing manufacturers of the
Gas Belt, and formerly warden of the In
diana State Prison; Capt. Thomas Madden,
of Indianapolis, manufacturer. and Amos
w. Butler, secretary of the State Board of
Charities, were present at the meeting.
Nothing more than to suggest to the Gov
ernor material for his recommendations to
be made to the Legislature in his message
was done at the meeting.
The contract labor system was discussed
at the meeting. The representatives of or
gained labor in the conference informed
the Governor that organized labor opposed
the public account system of employment
for convicts. This system permits the
manufacture of goods by the convicts under
the direction of the State, the product of
their labor being used in the state institu-
tions and should there be more than enough
necessary for this purpose to be sold on
the open market The contracts now held
from the State for the labor of the men in
the prisons will expire in 1904. and legisla-
ton is desired which will make il impossi-
BILE for a renewal of them.
Governor Durbin has been collecting in
formation about the systems used in other
States and has had the committee meet
with him several times during the summer
to assist him in forming some opinion as
to the best way to dispose of the labor of
the men in the prisons. 1t is known that
the convicts must be employed at some
thing in order TO prevent the breaking
down of their health If their minds are un-
occupied much Of the time they serve in
the prison. How to employ the convicts
without violating the law and how to dis
pose of their labor without earning the
censure of the lahoring men of the State
is the perplexing feature of the question.

LAUGH AT THE THEORY.


Captain Gerber yesterday instructed De-
tectives Asch and Manning to investigate
the charges of foul play made by sons of
Patrick Dugan, who was drowned in the
canal Friday. Captain Gerber is of opinion
that Dugan met his death by accidental
drowning. A slight bruise was found on
Dugan's head. but this is explained by
Bicycle Policemen Askins and Duncan, who
said they caught Dugan by the head when
they were pulling their graphing hooks
through the water. A number of friends
OF Dugan have been seen and each said
that Dugan had been drinking in the early
part of the night on which he met his
death. They said he had been attending
wake of a friend and had imbibed free
ly. There appears TO be no doubt that
Dugan walked up Missouri street along the
Big Four tracks and accidentally fell into
the water. Another point against the
theory of foul play is that at the spot
where Dugan fell into the water only two
footprints could be found. The cinder bal
last for the railroad was disturbed by
Dugan's feet and if he was accompanied
by anyone the soft earth would have shown
more footprints.

CENTRAL HOSPITALS NEEDS.
Trustees Request 100000 for an Ex-
tensiye Heating Plant.

Eli Marvin. member Of the board of trus-
tees of the Central Hospital for the Insane,
is in Indianapolis on business connected
with the institution. In discussing the re-
port OF the hospital submitted 10 the Gov
ernor on Tuesday Mr.. Marvin said that of
the many recommendations and sugges-
tons for improvement of the hospital
equipment the one deserving probably the
most attention is the application for a new
heating plant. Mr.. Marvin says the heat
ing appliances now in and the plant
supplying the heat are not sufficient for the
hospital, and the necessity for a new plant
is apparent. An appropriation of 100000
for the erection of a heating plant is asked
by the board.
1--WE have 100000 cubic feet of rooms to
heat at the Central Hospital" said Mr.
Marvin, land the facilities now in use are
inadequate. While the method used is not
dangerous or liable to cause a fire, il is
antiquated and entirely out OF keeping with
the rest of the buildings. The new hos
pital for the sick insane recently completed
and now completely furnished for its use as
infirmary for the patients at the hos
we have no way of heating it, AS soon as
some way in which the building can be
heated is found the hospital will probably
be opened

Boards To-Day.

The Indianapolis hospital for contagious
diseases will be located on ground imme-
diately west of the City Hospital Actioh

ground will probably be taken to-day by
joint conference of the Board of Health
and the Board of Works, as the passage

Council with only two dissenting votes
last night.
The Council met in response to President
Billingsleys call and passed the amenda-
tory ordinance promptly. This ordinance
struck out the provision requiring the hos
pital to be located three-fourths of mile
from the city and left the location to the
discretion of the Board Of Public Works
The negative votes were cast by Council
man Shea, Democrat, and Councilman Ep-
pert, Republican. Mr.. Expert explained
that he voted against the ordinance be-
cause his constituents in the Fourth ward
where it is to be located, were opposed
to the site selected and that he was
pledged to vote against it. All the other
Republicans and Democrats voted for IL.
The Democrats presented a typewriter

the finance committee. had presented ma

minority report. The report criticised the
city officials for delaying the purchase OF

jeopardy in so doing. The report conclud-
ed by recommending the passage OF the
amendatory ordinance because the emer-
gency now great that the minority
waived other considerations. This surprised
and relieved the Republicans, some or
whom feared ii meant that the Democrats
would oppose the amendment, but they
found IL was merely some political bum

DID GERBER TAKE A DRINK
The Report to BE Investigated by SUI
perintendent Tafe.

The Board of Public Safety has directed
Superintendent Taffe to investigate the re-
port as to Captain Gerber. of the detective
force, taking a drink in saloon last Sun
day. The superintendent will report to the
board at its next meeting.
The board adopted a rule yesterday that
where a fireman is off duty by reason of
sickness and other members of the COM
pany refuse to work their "off days in his
place the sick man must pay the expense
of a substitute. This action was required
by the fact that several firemen refused
to relieve their sick comrades and forfeit
their day off, as has been the custom for
many years Some of these men claim they
have been imposed on by the sickness
reported.
