\ peculiar damage suit against the Fort
Wayne Gas Company for sl25.0OO was filed
in the United States Court yesterday. In
February, 1902, the house and contents Of
Mrs. Laura Bass, who lived on a farm
near Fort Wayne. were totally destroyed
by fire. She held insurance policies in ten
different insurance companies for the
amount of the damage asked. The COM
panies paid the policies held against them
and now ask damages from the gas COM
pany for the amount of the policies. claim
ing that the fire was the result of the neg
ngence OF the Fort Wayne Gas Company.
The plaintiffs allege that through the neg
hgence or the defendants an unusual pres
sure came on during the night of the fire
and that ut midnight the furnace in which
the gas was burning became heated to the
extent that il set fire to the house and
burned II TO the ground, causing total loss

BIG BOND ISSUE is
FAVORED BY M'GREGOR
He Thinks There Should Be One
Million Dollars for Bridge
Building.

million-dollar bond issue by Marion
county, after the right to make such issue
has been granted the county by special act
of the State Legislature. is what John Nc
Gregor, of the Board of County Commits
sioners. favors in order that the county may
build all the new bridges that are needed
by the city. 1t would be impossible for
the county to build the bridges now, the
commissioners state, as there isn't enough
money in the county treasury to do it,
while it would be illegal for the county to
borrow money for the purpose. the only
purposes for which the county can legally
issue bonds is for the construction of
courthouse or Jail.
The expressed opinion of many of the cit
iZens Of Indianapolis that the county should
build new bridges in place of the decrepit
ones that were nearly destroyed by the
recent ice and high water has drawn from
the commissioners the opinion that it would
be right for the county to do so if 1t were
possible for it to find the funds. Funds
for bridge building are always furnished
by taxes, and the needs of the year in
bridges are supposed to be met by each
gency was not foreseen at the time that
the levy in force was prepared This
leaves Marion county without funds for
the purpose. and the only recourse which
the county has is to apply to the Legisla-
ture for a special law empowering it to
issue bonds. The question will be taken
up by the commissioners. and an attempt
Will be made To formulate a law that will
cover the point.

EUGENE \, DEBS Is
RATHER PESSIMISTIC
Socialist Leader Has an Audience
of Coal Miners at Ma
sonic Hall
PREDICTS HARD TIMES

I'VE are trying to infuse politics into the
Unions. we are trying TO put some sense
into them declared Eugene V. Debs. in
a speech on socialism last night in Masonic
Hail. Mr.. Debs spoke for more than two
hours and did not dwell lightly or briefly
on the wrongs of the capitalist or the
weaknesses Of the labor unions. 1t was the
second time Mr. Debs has spoken in In
dianapolis within the past few months. but
the hall was well crowded, especially with
miners, who are attending the convention
in this city and Of whom a great many are
Socialists.
According TO Mr Debs. 10 speak plainly.
the fault of the labor unions is that they
do not vote the Socialist ticket. No matter
how much the unions organize. said he,
they can be destroyed, for economic strength
is destructibe. Only political strength is
invincible. "A strike" said Mr.. DebE lis
a contest between the human stomach and
a steel bank vault" No man, said the
speaker, is a full-hedged union man unless
he goes to the polls and votes the Socialist
ticket and aids in destroying all things
that are and the establishment of a regime
in which the working man will own the
mine instead of working in it. and will be
free IN the fullnesS of the word"
Mr. Debs made his usual attack upon
capitalists and pictured them as giants
taking undue advantage Of the pigmy work
ing men. He spoke at the outset of his
remarks of the mine disaster in Pennsyl-
vania the other day. saying that the ac-
cident was appeal to socialism. He de-
clared il was nothing less than many
lives murdered by the operators. At one
place in his speech. Mr.. Debs said that
every minute spent by the workngman in
trying to better his condition by comforting
with the capitalists was a minute wasted,
for only through the wOrkingmen could the
question ever be settled In view of the
fact that the joint conference between the
miners and operators begins tomorrow, the
statement has special significance and was
straight thrust at the miners. However.
Mr.. Debs was liberal with his thrusts-he
always is-and lid not hesitate To rub il
into the unions at every hand. Mr.. Debs
forecasts hard times and they are to come
within the next twelve months. Then it is,
ne says, that the unions will feel their
weakness. "A panic is bound to come" de-
clared the speaker, because within the past
few years machinery has undergone a Won
derful perfection, in consequence of which
there is more competition for workmen to
operate the machines Competition in labor
means a tall in wages. You miners have
one big strike and lose it and see what be-
comes of you. Mr.. Debs said that a fall
in wages will be felt very shortly and be-
fore the year is out a great per cent. of
union men will be out of work.

EXPRESS COMPANY SUIT
BEFORE HIGHEST COURT
Assistant Attorney General Cassius
c. Hadley Summoned to
Washington.
BIG SUM IS INVOLVED

Litigation of six years standing, involv-
ing the right of the State of Indiana TO
levy a tax upon express companies doing
business in the State on a basis of mileage
of routes operated, Will be settled by the
United States Supreme Court probably this
week.
The action is that of James c. Fargo
president of the American Express Com
pany, against former State Auditor William
II. Hart to enjoin the State from certifying
down to the various county auditors for
collection an assessment made upon the
American Express Company in 1897. The
action was first instituted April "A, 1895
and supplemental bills were later filed, all
embOdying the same provisions.
From temporary restraining order is
sued by the Indiana district of the United
States Circuit Court TO the dismissal of
the suit by Judge Baker, in 1902. the State 5
defense was sustained. The appellant car
ried the case TO the Supreme Court of the
United States, numerous errors being as
signed as the cause of appeal
Upon the decision of the suit will depend
the collection of large sum in taxes
against express companies doing business
in Indiana, and other States will be affected
in a similar manner.
Assistant Attorney General Cassius G..
Hadley was summoned to Washington last
night and left Immediately to argue the
case before the Supreme Court, now in ses-
sion. Arguments are expected to consume
pected, and it is presumed at the attorney
generals office that the case has been ad-
vanced by the Supreme Court for immediate
action.

WHEN WATER RECEDES
REPAIRS WILL Be MADE
City Engineer Jeup and Street
Railway COmpany'S Engineer
TO Make Examination.
CONDITION OF BRIDGES

As soon as the water in the river sub
sides sufficiently to permit of it a thorough
examination of the piers of all the bridges
that were damaged by the recent Ice Jams
will be made by City Engineer Jeup and
Thomas b. McMath, engineer for the In
dianapolis Traction and Terminal Com
pany to determine the exact extent of the
damage to the piers, so that repairs may
be begun at once. If the water in the river
continues to recede as at present this eX-
animation may be begun to-day or to-mor-
row.
When the extent Of the damage is ascer-
tanned specifications will be made by the
city engineer and bids will be advertised
for by the Board of Public Works. At
least half of the expense of the repairs Will
be borne by the street-car company, and
possibly more.
Mr.. Jeup stated yesterday that the re-
pairs to the bridges might be completed
within ten days. but that some of the abut-
ments may be found to be more seriously
damaged than was supposed at first, espe-
cially at the NOrthwestern-avenue bridge.
The bridge at the Charlottesville road will
probably require an entire new pier.
