chant police force, which he held until two

CITY SEEKS INJUNCTION
COURT ASKED TO PREVENT SALE
OF DAvENPORT's ISLAND.
Supreme Court Asked tn Reverse Sem
tence of Death Passed on Edward
HOOver-Court Grist.

The city of Indianapolis filed an injunc-
ton suit yesterday in the Superior Court
against Sheriff Metzger TO enjoin him from
selling Davenport island, otherwise known
as Frog island" The island was recently
purchased by the city from Frank j. Dav-
EXPORT. and is situated in White river near
Riverside Park.
AT the time the property was purchased
from Davenport. it was involved in suit
in the Circuit Court. William B. Lane had
brought suit to foreclose a mechanics lien
for $50, which he claimed was due from
Davenport for lumber used in the building
on the island. He was given a judgment
of foreclosure by Judge Allen.
1t is claimed by the city that Davenport
had only the rights of a squatter to the
island and that the lien is void. The prop
erty was to have been sold by Sheriff Met
ger, and for that reason the injunction is
asked.

ELECTRIC COAL ROADS.
Line to Brazil May He Trunk Line Of a
Projected System.

According to present plans, it is pro-
posed to connect this city with the coal
fields by trolley and have fuel brought in
by the electric lines. The system will also
connect not only Indianapolis, but other
cities Of the gas belt Men who are be-
hind the movement have obtained large
tracts of coal land for mining purposes
and will. IL is said, tap the field in three
places. The electric road that is now being
built to Brazil will probably be the trunk
line. 1t is not proposed to carry the coal
through the streets, but TO bring it to the
city limits and then distribute it from those
points, or else build an electric belt road
and let il come in by that route.

stock 9pecuIatIon.

George Gould is reported to have
remarked that the present condi-
ton of the stock market is in no re-
spect an indicstion of the condition
of business.
In this there seems to be little
doubt that he is right. In Impractical
ly every part of the country business
is good and the outlook for continu'
ed activity is favorable. But on
Wall street the market is declining
and men who have bought in hope
of an advance have been steadily los
ing for months past. The fact seems
to be that the stocks were pushed
too high, and that they advanced be
yond what business operations un.
der the most favorable conditions
justified. Now prices are settling
down toward a more normal condi-
ton.
It is unfortunate that the specuiat
i've spirit took possession OF so large

part of the country, for the desire
to make money easily by some fav-
orsble turn in the stock market kept
men out Of business opportunities
and enterprises that would IN all
probability have been profitable
This has had more to do with check
ing the development OF new enter
prises than probably many persons
suppose, and there does not seem to
be q brilliant prospect that matters
on Wall street will be greatly i'm
proved in the near future.
If, acting on the statement OF Mr.
Gould that the present stock market
is not evidence of the condition OF
business, men would venture more
IN industrial enterprises, different
parts of the country would be de-
veloped and the condition OF busi'
ness would be still further improved.
Whatever becomes Of the stock
market, business will not necessarily
be affected. The men who are en-
gagged in work, producing commodi
ties of one kind or another for which
there is demand in the market, do
not pay much attention to the stock
exchange. They are the men who
are making the country richer every
day.-Denver Republican.
