YOUNG BOY IN PARIS.


Consul General John X Gowdy. at Paris,
has requested Superintendent Taffe to iden-
tify an American boy supposed to- be from
Terre Haute, Ind. Mr. Gowdy is of opinion
that the young man is from either Indiana
or Illinois He incloses the report of the
project of police at Paris, giving a descrip-
ton of the boy, as follows:
MAY 81, on the advice of a medical GER
tificate, / placed a young man, about the
age of seventeen or eighteen, in Ste Anne 5
Asylum, Paris. He had been found wan
morning in the Rue de la Chaussee d'Antin.
Questioned in several languages he was not
able or would not, furnish any information
about himself However. certain details
lead us To suppose that he is from the
United States.
AT the time of arrest he was dressed
in a dark suit, somewhat worn, of Ameri-
can make. The trousers were made with
two pistol pockets, and the jacket very
shorD bore on the collar mark: Lee Good
man, Terre Haute, Ind. The shirt has an
other mark i'm ink at the waist: st. Us
w. p. Room. The shoes are of brown
leather. and the left shoe is marked on the
tag: The Best Glove, $3.50.
He also wore cotton socks and woven
pants. He is without a hat. In one of
his pockets we found an American cent
and % centimes. He had no papers. The
unknown, since his arrest, has remained
from melancholy depression. L have the
honor, consequently, to bring these facts
TO your notice, and / will be much obliged
If you will kindly furnish me with any in
formation that you may gather on this pre-
sumed American"

COLLEGE-AVENUE RESIDENT BRINGS
A TEST SUIT.
1t Is Claimed that the Big Cars of the
Traction Company Damage Prop
erty-Other Court News.

A suit to decide the important question
whether the interurban roads entering In
dianapolis are street railway companies,
which they claim to be, or commercial
roads, was filed by Mrs. Lottie A. Kinsey,
owner of property at College avenue and
Fifteenth street. in the Superior Court yes
terday. The suit is in the nature of test
case and it is certain to be appealed to the
Supreme Court and will probably finally
reach the United States Supreme Court
The complaint was filed by Gavin & Davis,
who, it is understood. represent other prop
erty owners along the street.
The plaintiff asks for perpetual injunc-
ton and $1,000 damages. The Indianapolis
Street Railway. the indianapolis Traction
and Terminal Company, the Indiana Union
Traction Company, the Union Traction
Company and the Indianapolis Northern
Traction Company are made defendants.
1t is claimed that the big interurban
cars jar Mrs. Kinsey's house and have
caused the plaster and pictures on the walls
to fall off, and also a great amount OF dust
is stirred up every time a car passes.
An order restraining the defendant COM
panies from operating the large cars along
College avenue is asked and 1t is claimed
that the right to run the cars is cloud
on the title of plaintiffs property.
1t is set out by the complaint that the
Indiana Union Traction Company is in no
sense a street railway but that 1t is a
commercial road and similar in all respects,
save in the motive power, to steam rail-
way.
PRICE OF TICKETS.
1t is further asserted by the statute a
street railway company operating within
the city limits shall sell twenty-five tickets
for 81. 1t Is shown that the companies have
all along refused to do this. 1t is the OBJ
ject of the Indiana Union Traction Com
pany to control all the traction lines in
the northern part of the State and all these
lines will come into Indianapolis over Col
lege avenue, the petition declares.
To show that the road will shortly be a
commercial road entirely the intention Of
the Indiana Union Traction Company to put
on sleepers with a gradual increase in the
size of the cars as the volume of freight
business increases, is cited.
The right to the avenue by the In
dams Union Traction Company is claimed
by virtue of the franchise granted by the
city to the Union Traction Company. The
present use of the street constitutes an ad-
ditional servitude on the plaintiffs property
| to which the defendant companies are not
entitled, it is claimed.
In case the property owners win the suit
| in the local courts and the decision is af-
| firmed by the higher courts, it means that
the traction companies must purchase d
| right of Way into the city in the same man.

Railway Agents Trip Ended.

At ST. Louis Tuesday ended the annual
Jaunt of the National Association of Rail-
way Agents, which began at that place on
July 20. when several hundred agents and
their wives and daughters set out in a spe-
cial train Of Pullmans for Eureka Strings
Ark, where the annual meeting was held
on July q and %. The Santa Fe road took

Oklahoma City Thursday and from Okla
homa City to Galveston Friday night and
Saturday. At Galveston the party was
given ride on the gulf by the Galveston
Wharf Company On the return trip which
began Sunday afternoon, a stop was made
at Dallas, where barbecue was arranged
i'm honor of the party, and the arrival at
ST. Louis was made Tuesday, the party
scattering there. Several passed through
Indianapolis Tuesday night en- route home.
The meeting at Eureka Springs was char
acterized by papers of unusual ability on
topics OF direct interest to railroad agents.
C1tlzens at various stopping places We're
cordial in the public reception arranged in
honor of the visitors.

RELIEF IN THE AFTERNOON.
For . Brief Period the Thermometer
Was on Watch.

There IS not much doubt in the minds of
most people that yesterday would have
been a record-breaker Ia the way of local
temperature had not a deceitful thunder
storm blown over the city and cut short
the ascent of the mercury just as it was
going to mount to the ninety-third round
in the thermometrical ladder. Starting at
6 o'clock at 50 the mercury had reached 80
before o'clock.
1t was then that the sky In the south
west grew dark and the low rumblings Of
thunder brought hope and good tidings to
SWeltering humanity. However, the cool
winds that come with the clouds only
cooled the atmosphere temporarily, as the
storm was false alarm and did not leave
enough rain to wet the streets. Between
and o'clock the thermometer dropped from
~ to 81, and then began again Its assiduous
climb toward the nineties, which 1t reached
late in the afternoon After the storm
that wasn't really a StOrm-the heat was
felt more than ever, because the light
breeze that had blown all day had passed
with the clouds and left an almost I'M
bearable humidity. At o'clock the Their
mometer stood at 81, the hottest evening of
the year. The forecast for tomorrow
continued warm'-is not very encouraging,
but there is a possible chance of the numer-
in the vicinity of Indiana, striking Indian
apolis.
There were several prostrations yesterday.
Two of them were at guard camp.
1t was raining at o'clock last night in
Chicago, and was cloudy all through the
West, with frequent showers at different
places Ell Paso, Tex, reported the hottest
temperature. 1t was 9S
At different hours during the day the
thermometer registered as follows:

Legal problems are coming up with con-
siderable frequency in courts. The latest
one was so tough a proposition that the
United States Court judges have been un-
able to agree on the law of the case and
on their own motion passed it up to the
United States Supreme Court The prop
osition seems not difficult to understand,
even by layman. A shipment is made by
a route which embraces several different
railroad lines, over which the loaded car
is obliged to go, each company delivering
it to the next one until it reaches its place
of destination. In the middle of the Jour
ney an employe in charge of handling the
car, because of defect secures damages
from the line on whose tracks the car was
at the time, and the company is mulcted
Tor damages and in turn sues the line that
delivered the car to, Ii. Because the un-
safe condition of the car was apparent
or would have been when delivery was
made, an employe of the Hammond Packing
Company secured the verdict which was
sustained by the Nebraska Supreme Court.
The Stockyards Company brought suit
against the c., B. & Q. road, which de-
nvered the car. AT this stage the case
now goes to the Supreme Court on the
holding of the United States Circuit Court
that the c., b. & q. was not responsible
for the damages.

John Lawless. laborer, living at 115s

called to render medical attention. People
in the neighborhood said they saw a man
lying in the shed and hearing him groan,
called for a doctor at the City Dispensary.
DR.. Cunningham made fast trip to the
side of the unfortunate man, but found
that he had been dead for some minutes
before he arrived. Lawless was removed

lance, attended by DIR. Mackey, where he
was kept until the bodyewas called for by

PENNSYLVANIA
RUMOR REVIVED OF AN ALLIANCE
WITH THE SANTA FEE COMPANY.
United states Supreme Court Asked to
ings of b. & o. i'm June.

Within the last few days there has been
wanna is planning to get foothold west of
the Missouri river, and expects to accom-
plish it through purchase or traffic alliance
with the Santa Fe. The declaration is. of
course, a repetition of an old story and
supposed to have but little foundation, but
a late move has created an impression that
there is something in ii. Nevertheless, it
is true that it is a departure the part
OF the Pennsylvania. One of the tenets or
the Pennsylvania management for years
has been that it would not be wise to in
wade the West farther than ST. Louis and
Chicago. and as long as the Pennsylvania
was allowed supreme control in Pittsburg
territory it ignored the idea of extending
feeders to the Pacific ocean. The Gould
lines are now to go right into the heart of
the Pennsylvania territory, in fact it's
strongest territory, and will become direct
and lively competitors. All these condi-
tons are known to have their influence
on the Pennsylvania mana cement, and have
contributed to overthrow this heretofore
fixed rule not to go west of the river. That
the Pennsylvania and Santa Fe will dove
tail together admirably and make one Of
the strongest combinations I'm the Western
world must be admitted. The connections
which would be given the Pennsylvania by
the Santa Fe west of the Missouri river in
clude the line to the gulf, close connec-
tion with the Mexican systems of railroads,
and both roads at Chicago would be
strengthened by such combination. 1t Is
believed that present conditions will force
some striking changes i'm the railroad map
OF the United States and that many of
these changes will be made in the West.

Walter A. Ramsey Will Look Afte
the Lea Electric Company.

A receiver was appointed for the Lea
Electric Manufacturing Company. of Ell
wood Ind, by Judge Carter, Of the Su-
perior Court, in Chambers yesterday. The
action was the result of a petition for the
appointment of a receiver and an account
ing filed by William H. Narthall. stock
holder in the company.
1t is set out in the complaint that the
company is indebted to the plaintiff for
wages earned while in the company's en-
ploy. and for royalties upon certain patents
in the sum of 1894. Other liabilities which
the company is unable to pay amount to
81, 600
the company began business with $50, 900
capital stock, fully paid in. For several
years 1T made money, but during the last
few years has not done WELL and the af-
fairs of the concern have gone from bad to
worse until finally the present action re-
suited.
Judge Carter appointed Walter A. RAM
sey. receiver, to straigthen out the affairs
of the concern and to distribute any money
saved from the wreck to the stockholders.
His bond was fixed at $4,000 and Herod
& Herod to be his attorneys.
