Boy Receivers Damages.

Judge feathers, in Room 2, Superior
Court, yesterday granted Ella Jackson,
next best friend of Ford Bazel, sixteen
year-old colored boy, a judgment for $550.O6
against the p, c., c. & st. L. Railway
Company. Young Bazel was forced to get
off a moving freight train on Sept. 16 while
on his way to the fair grounds, and in
jumping from the step of the car, slipped
and fell under the trucks. One of his legs
was cut off below the knee.
In the complaint for damages filed a
settlement was made by which the judg-
ment was secured. The attorney for the
boy said that the conductor had given his
client permission to ride, but that when
near Thrtieth street he threw coal at him
and in other ways induced him to jump. A
suit against the l.. +. & w. Railway Com
pany was filed some time ago by the guard
ian of young Bazel, but this suit was found
to be against the wrong road, as the Pan
handle train was the one which ran over
the bow.

FOR Big FLOWER MARKET
THE BOARD of PUBLIC WORKS IS
NOW CONSIDERING PLANS.
Space Between Tomlinson Hall and
Meat Market May he Utilised
other City Affairs.

Indianapolis is to have flower market or
pretensions If the plans Of the Board OF
Public Works are carried out. These plans,
the architectural feature OF which are be-
ing designed by Preston c. Rubbish, were
the subject OF conference between Mayor
Bookwalter, Mr.. Rubbish and the board
yesterday. Mr.. RUBBISH was directed TO
complete his work and the board will
doubtless ask the Council for an additional
appropriation sufficient to make the inn
provement all that it should be.
The plans call for the Enclosure OF the
fifty-foot street between Tomlinson Hail
and the meat market with a structure OF
stone. steel and brick and converting this
street into a mammoth flower market. The
flower stands are now scattered. 1t Is be-
lieved that the creation of the special flow
er market will add to the city desirable
institution.
The plans also provide for the construc-
ton of building of stone. steel and brick
over the entire area east or <he meat Asa--
ket. The plan of this admits of the addi-
ton of 240 stalls in the space that IS now
open. 1t is also the purpose to discourage
the use of the streets for vendors and the
ordinance requiring them to detach horses
from their vehicles is believed TO be the
leverage that will move them all into the
new building.
ments planned is the sanitary reconstruc-
ton of the entire market. Impervious
floors are to be put in and abundant drain
age provided into the sewers so that flush
ing the drains, even during the busy hours,
would carry away large amount of the
debris that rapidly accumulates. The
sanitary conditions will also be altered so
that the fish market will occupy new quar-
tiers and be segregated AS IL now is, cali
CO and fish" may be found together. Catch
basins for the refuse from the fish and
meat markets will be put in and the utpnpst
cleanliness observed.
The improvements will cost approximate
ly $4,000. There is now about $12 900 appro-
priated for the Improvement OF the east
end of the market. The new buildings
will be one story high and there is no
purpose to provide quarters for the city
Offices other than the market master and
perhaps the sealer Of weights and meas

-Unearned Wages May Be Assigned
Legally
The question whether unearned wages or
salary can be legally assigned seems TO be

States. The Appellate Court of that State,
First district, states that ii has sought In
