4 SIGN OF THE TINES.

The first officer to be appointed iy
the newly elected mayor of RaltimoI 9
is Mr.. w. Cabell Bruce to be city soli'-
itor. This is very important and
lucrative Office, and the appointment
of Mr.. Bruce no doubt makes loyal
democrats in that city very proud and
happy and encourages them to do par
ty work and give of their substance to
party success.
For long time Mr.. Bruce has be-
longed to that organization In Balti-
more known as the Reform League.
an organization of so called Democrats
who have really worked for Republi-
can success. They were of the holy of
hOlles class, too good to live on earth.
They never sought office. Oh no. but
took it always, as in this instance,
when it came along. In 1896 and 1870
Mr.. Bruce was active in his efforts to
carry Maryland for Mckinley, and to
defeat and break down effectually the
democratic party in that State. This
appointment will doubtless be followed
by others of the same character. as Mr..
McLane the new mayor himself was
of that branch of the party in that
State known as the "renegades." 1t
was with great difficulty be got
through in the last election, but in as
much as he was regarded by many
Republicans as as good Republican
for their purposes, as his opponent
Mr.. Wachter, be did scrape through
by few hundred majority, according
to the returns). Such acts on the part
of SO called Democrats in Baltimore
will reflect on Mr.. German and if that
gentlemen hopes to be nominated fol
the presidency, he must not allow toe
much of this sort of malOdorOus ma
terial to be poked into Democratic
nOstrils.
J There is one thing the Democrats Of
this country will not submit to as {
body, and that is to being dictated t.
and overridden by gentlemen of W
Cabell Bruce's political cult. The.
will either stay at home or vote th
Opposing ticket. 1t is far easier for I
true and loyal party man to vote TO
his political enemy than to support
party traitor, yet those who are seek
/ 20 a al
profess not to see this. They will Sc
it when the time comes. The appoint
ments to be made In Baltimore are
part and parcel of the ins0lenee tn
renegade end of the Democratic part
has in store for the masses and tn
masses should resent it as they ar
doing the proposed nomination O
Cleveland.

ITO ALL CONFEDERATES."
Handsome Monument to Southern Sol
diers UnveIIed at Mt. Jackson.

diers UaveIIed at Mt. Jackson.
The unwilling OF the monument "To
All Confederates' took place at Mt.
Jackson Thursday amid great enthu-
siasm and in the presence of the larg.
est crowd of people ever seen in the
town.
The monument was erected by Mt.
Jackson Chapter No. 1872, United
Daughters Of the Confederacy, and
the unwilling ceremonies were under
the auspices OF that organization. The
monument is a beautiful shaft of white
marble, erected at cost of 81 500 in
the Soldiers Cemetery on the Valley
Pike, short distance north of Mt.
Jackson, where $50 Confederates sol.
diers are buried. The train from Har
rlsonburg carried about 200 passengers
to the unwilling and special excur-
sion brought about 800 from the North.
The number of strangers in the town
was estimated at 5000. Rice-Nefi
Camp of New Market and Slower Camp
of Strasburg attended in uniform.
An address OF welcome Was made
near the depot by DIR. G. A. R. Moore,
Mayor of the town, after which pro
cession was formed and proceeded to
the cemetery, where the program was
carried out. Capt. T. j. Adams was
chief marshal. The monument was
unveiled by Miss Sophia Rlnker,
daughter of Mr.. l.. H. Rinker. Adj
dresses were made by Rev. CIV. Finley,
d. D.. of Fishersville. and Capt. James
Bumgardner, Of StauntOn.
After the unwilling the ex Confed.
crate soldiers present, to the number
of 200, were entertained at dinner by
the Daughters of the Confederacy.
The Timberville Band was in atten-
dance and contributed no little to the
pleasure of the occasion.

Washout on the C. & O.

The washOut on the Chesapeake and
Ohio Ry. near Campbell's station,
about 10 miles east of Charlottesville,
caused by the heavy rains of Saturday
and Sunday, was very disastrous
The road bed for over mile was badly
damaged and in some places washed
entirely away. This threw all trains
late as they had to go around by Orange
and thence to GordOnsville. 1t was
not until late Tuesday evening that
the track was gotten into condition to
run trains over.
In the South the Southern Ry. was
also badly washed and the through
trains due Sunday had not reached
Charlottesville Monday afternoon.
Everything is now said to be in shape
again and trains are running on time.

BEAVERS Is ARRAIGNED
EX-POSTAL DIVISION CHIEF UNDER
BOND AND INDICTMENT.
Two Bills Involving Bribery in Con-
nectiOn with a COntract-Exami-
nation Set for Next Wednesday.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-George w. Beav-
ers again surrendered to-day. and was ar
raigned before United States Commissioner
Ridgeway on two indictments recently re-
turned against him in Washington for al
legged conspiracy in connection with con-
tracts with the Bundy Time Clock Com
pany, now known as the International
Tine-recording Company of Bnghamton,
n. Y, and the Postoffice Department, in
connection with which transaction State
Senator George w. Green, of BinShamton,
was indicted.
Commissioner Ridgeway fixed the exam
nation for next Wednesday and Beavers
was released on $4,000 bail on one of the
two indictments. being permitted to go on
his own recognizance on the second 1ndict-
ment 1t was agreed by counsel to accept
a Baltimore bonding company as surety,
and to reduce Beavers'S bonds on the two
pending indictments from 5000 to $2,5O0
each.
One of the warrants based on the two
Washington indictments charges Beavers
with unlawfully conspiring with George L.
Green and other persons unknown TO de-
fraud the government in connection with
the clocks purchased from the Internation-
al Time-recording Company, Green promis-
ing to pay Beavers 10 per cent. of the pur-
chase price on every clock purchased; and
check for 1925. signed by George Il. Green
in payment. The second warrant alleges
that Beavers accepted the check for $325
from Green in the furtherance of the cor

tain matters then pending before him as
head of the salary and allowances divi-

MUST GIVE THE SERVICE
LEBANON TELEPHONE COMPANY is A
COMMON CARRIER.
Case Instigated by a Similar Institu.
ton at ThOrntOwn Is Decided by
Judge Artman.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LEBANON, Ind, Sept. 23.-Judge s. r.
Artman rendered an important decision
yesterday in a telephone case. At Thorn
town are two telephone companies known
as the Thorntown Telephone Company and
the Thorntown Cooperative Telephone Com
pany. The former secured connection with
the Lebanon Telephone Company's swith-
board under private contract The Thorn
town Cooperative Company applied for con-
nection under the same terms the Lebanon
company had granted to other companies
over the county, but the application was
rejected. The Thorntown Cooperative
Company thereupon brought suit asking for
writ of mandate to compel the Lebanon
company to grant the connection desired
The court rendered an opinion which is a
substantial victory for the plaintiff. This
is the first time such a case has been be-
fore the Indiana courts.
The court holds in effect that the Leb-
anon company when 1t granted connection
with various companies over the county,
became a common carrier of verbal mes
sages. and as such cannot discriminate be-
tween companies in the county seeking con-
nection with it; that it is bound under the
law to admit all who seek such service, on
equal terms.
The Lebanon company in its answer to
the complaint set up that by the terms of
it's contract with the Thorntown Telephone
Company it was prohibited from furnishing
service to any other company i'm Thorn
town. The court holds that as common
carrier the Lebanon company had no right
to make this discrimination. and that it
could not abrogate it's public duty by a
contract. The court on this point said: "a
common carrier is not precluded from as
surfing duties on acquiring rights by con-
tract, but as between duty assumed by
contract and one imposed by law the one
imposed by law is paramount"

NORMAL TO OPEN TO-DAY
STATE SCHOOL WILL HAVE 4 LARGE
ENROLMENT THIS TERN.
Students Are of N More Mature Age,
Which Will Permit of Further
Raising of the Standard.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept 23.-The
fall term of the Indiana State Normal will
begin tomorrow with the best prospects
since the school was organized. Yester-
day and to-day nearly 200 new students
were classified. The old students have been
coming on each train and the attendance
by the end of the week will be larger than
ever before. The total enrolment for last
year of different students. not including
the summer term, was 1,3l6, and there Is
little doubt that it will reach $500 this
year. The new students are of a more
mature age On an average than heretofore.
which fact is gratifying to the management
because it makes possible a still further
raising of the standard. 1t is also true that
among the new students there is a larger
proportion of men than year ago.
The State Board of Trustees will meet
Saturday and select one of several sites
for the training school building. for which
the Legislature made IAN appropriation of
$4,000. but which will not be available until
next year. A site near the school can be
had and it is the intention to let the con-
tract this winter SO that work may begin
early In the spring and the building be
will have rooms for eight grades of the
city schools and besides will have plenty
of room for manual training school The
new tax levy also will give the Normal
more revenue each year so that the course
may be enlarged
President Parsons says that the trustees
will select Prof c. ii. Bean on Saturday
to succeed Professor Chairman, during his
years leave of absence. Professor Bean
took the four-year course in the Ohio Nor
NAL and afterward was graduated from the
University of Nebraska He also took
postgraduate work in Chicago University.
The other changes in the teaching force
due to several leaves of absence have been
published in the Journal.

cation in twenty-five years this summer.

CUTTING DOWN PRODUCTION.
Steel and Iron Mills and Furnaces
Arected-Wage Reduction.

PIrISBCRG. Sept. 23.-The United States
Steel Sorpofation may close all it's sheet
steel ol. n,S in the near future unless the
AmaIgamated Association will consent to a
reduction under the same plan as was
agreed on last fall. The reason for this atti-
tude Is an overstocked market and the dull
ness Of trade at this time of year. Last
year the Amaleamated Association accepted
reduction OF per cent. on all material
made for foreign trade and the steel COM
pany. il is said, intends to make n similar
reduction this year. President Shaffer, of
the Amalgamated, stated that he felt sure
that the limit would not be changed and
that existing conditions do not warrant it.
