BOUGHT BY HUGH j. MCGOWAN.

deal was closed yesterday by which
Hugh j. MCGOWAN, president of the Indian
apolis Traction and Terminal Company.
purchased the residence of David NJ. Parry,
president of the Parry Manufacturing Com
pany. at 1905 North Delaware street for the
sum of $4,000. The transfer has not yet
been made, pending the completion of the
abstract but the deed will be recorded in
day or two. The transaction was effected
through the agency of W. E. Stevenson, and
the negotiations were opened some three
weeks ago.
Mr.. MCGOWAN will secure possession of the
property July /, and will at once begin some
extensive improvements on the residence
that will entail an expenditure Of $40, 0O0
No additions will be made to the house. it
is understood. but the whole interior will
be rearranged. A Chicago architect will be
here to-day to consult with Mr.. MCGOWAN
in regard to the plans for the proposed i'm
provements.
The Parry residence is considered one Of
the finest in Indianapolis. 1t was originally
built by Hervey Bates, ST., at the time he
built the Bates House, and is said to have
cost 100000 The house contains sixteen
rooms, with a large ballroom on the third
floor and a billiard room In the basement,
and is finely finished throughout Mr. Bates
sold the property to DR.. Horace X. Allen
who was at the head of the Surgical Insti-
tute and DIR. Allen in turn disposed of it
to Mr.. Parry.
The property has frontage of 200 feet
on Delaware street, is corner lot and is
one of the most desirable residence prop
critics in the city. 1t is conceded that Mr.
MCGOWAN secured ii at bargain, as the
real estate alone is easily worth $500 a foot.
Mr. Parry was at one time offered $500 foot
for the fifty feet on the corner.

AN INVESTIGATIONS DISCLOSURES.

From the beginning the Journal has advo-
Gated the investigation Of all charges of
dishonesty or 'boodling'' made in good
the charges proved to be unfounded the adj
ministration would be strengthened not
harmed: IL they were discovered to be true,
then the guilty ones should be made to pay
the penalty for public benefit The Journal
is a party paper, but 1t holds the interests
Of the public above those of party. and has
no disposition to shield wrongdoers merely
because they are Republicans At the same
time 1t advocates fair play and declines to
accept a mans guilt as fact until ii has
been proved. The disclosures Of the Stahl
trial from day to day show that fair play
has not been accorded to Mr.. Logsdon in all
respects. To say this is no reflection on
the Citizens League as such. 1t is but
justice to say that the majority of the
members of this organization are free from
blame so far as all questionable proceedings
are concerned. 1t is the few who do not
represent the League. but their own bust
ness interests, on whom the responsibility
seems to lie. No one who has followed the
testimony closely will believe for a moment
that the business manager OF the News and

will believe that the business manager of

News has disclaimed responsibility. but its
disclaimer is heterogeneous. Last Tuesday

WHAT WILL THE GAS COMPANY DO.

The courts having decided that the In
dianapolis Gas Company is under no
further legal obligation to furnish natural
gas which IT has not and cannot get, the
company will doubtless quit the business.
as far as this city is concerned, imme6i-
ately. The ordinance was accepted by the
Indianapolis Natural Gas Company Feb.
20, 1898. and by the Indianapolis Gas Com
pany May p. $780, The natural gas period
fifteen years, though the service for a few
years past has been very unsatisfactory,
owing to the exhaustion of the supply.
With meter measurement adopted at the
beginning it might have been made to last
several years longer. 1t has been shame
fully wasted, and the practice that has
prevailed for years past of boring mixers.
thereby enabling many persons to steal
gas from the company and from their
neighbors as we'll, cannot have had a very
elevating effect on the morals of the COM
munity.
Since it engaged in the business the COM
pany has sunk hundreds of wells, of which
a few are still producing some gas, but the
most are exhausted. What gas the COM
pany has can probably be marketed in
other towns less remote from the field
until the supply gives out entirely. Event
ually the company will have on its hands
several hundred dry holes, some Of which
may by a process of natural conversion
become oil wells, while the majority will
be simply relics and reminders of dead
industry. The company also has many
miles of mains and supply pipes in the
city. The removal of the latter would
cause a great disturbance of street pave
ments and be very expensive. The ordi-
nance makes no provision for the removal
of mains pipes, and the company would
enabling act by the Council, to which it
might apply any conditions it should see
fit The Council is master Of the situation
in that regard. 1t may be that the COM
pany will conclude to leave the city mains
and pipes in the ground and utilize them
for the distribution of artificial gas. This
at 81 a thousand feet, with the approved
appliances now made, is very cheap fuel
for cooking purposes. and may even be
utilized for heating purposes. 1t may be
that with the aid of improved processes of
manufacture the company can offer art
fetal gas for cooking and fuel purposes
at considerably less than 81 per thousand.
This is done in some cities. and the reduc-
ton Of price has caused a large increase
in consumption. If the company would
follow the tendency in other lines of bust
ness and aim to build up large trade on
a narrow margin Of profit instead of doing
smaller business at large profit, it
might meet with a ready response from
the public. People who have enjoyed for
years the luxury Of cooking with natural
gas would take very kindly to the use of
artificial gas, at, say, IS cents thousand.
The Journal will have no vote at the dr.
rectors' meeting of the Gas Company, but
1t ventures to offer this hint gratis.
