HAD A TEMPESTUOUS LIFE
Engaged in Hundreds Of Rough and
Tumble BattIes-kilIed One Man
and Almost Beat State Senator to
Death.

Washington, Ind, March "a
week, when John McCarty closed his
eyes. McCarty was one of the best
known men in southern Indiana, and
no man in this part of the state pass
ed more tempestuous career. He
was born in Ireland and came to Indi-
ana in his early manhood. From that
time until within few years before
his death, McCarty was in the saloon
business at Petersburg, in this city
and at other places.
Thirty years ago he killed man
named Battles at Petersburg. Nc
carty shot Battles with a Derringer
pistol, which he discharged without
withdrawing the weapon from the
side pocket of his coat, where it was
concealed. He was tried for this
killing, but was acquitted on the plea
Of self defense.
McCarty was powerful man and
pugilist of no mean ability. He had
hundreds of rough-and-tumble fights,
and all his life his first thought was
an appeal to the strong arm. Soon
after he moved to this city from Pet
ersburg, following the killing of Bat
ties, McCarty became involved in a
dispute with State Senator William S.
Turner, lawyer and large land own
er.
McCarty accused Turner of cheating
him in deal for a city lot. The
quarrel led to an assault on Turner by
McCarty, in which Turner was beaten
into insensibility in the public streets.
McCarty was tried for this, and the
jury fined him $500. Governor Hen
bricks later RENTED the fine, and by
the act made an enemy for life out of
his old political friend, Turner.

WESTERN UNION PAYS
TAXES UNDER PROTEST
Company Objects to the AS
SeSSment Made.
A SUIT is NOW PENDING

Some time this month the Western
Union Telegraph company will pay in,
to the treasury of Wayne county, un-
der protest, the sum of $692.27 as tax
on the valuation for 1906 OF its prop
critics in this county In all the other
counties in the state the tax will be
paid into the respective county treas
uries under protest.
Subject of Suit.
Valuation of the company's proper
ties in this state is the subject of a
suit now pending in the United States
Circuit Court The suit was filed in
Indianapolis. last August by the West
ern Union Telegraph Company against
Governor. Hanly,- Fred A. Sims, John
G.. Wingate and Parks. Martin as
members of the State Board OF Tax
Commissioners of Indiana, and against
Warren .BigIer as. Auditor of State.
1t was related that the State Board
of Tax Commissioners. had placed a
valuation, for .te kation, on the Ind
lana properties. of the telegraph COM
pany, tof $3,337,323, amounting to 1858
for each mile of wiFes that the COM
pany operated in, the State. 1t was
related that the complainant company
was willing to pay on valuation OF
$1,547, 421 or, about $32 a mile. This
made difference of $37 a mile be-
tween the valuation as made by the
board and the valuation as made by
the complainant company, and the
complainant asked that the board be
enjoined from certifying to the State
Auditor this additional valuation Of
S37 a MILE and that Mr. Bigler and his
Successors be enjoined from certify
ing TO the various county auditors this
additional valuation.
In Excess Of Value.
1t was related that the valuation
and assessment was far in excess OF
the actual cash value of the Indiana
properties of the complainant. and
was out of proportion to the assess
ment of properties owned by other
persons in the State. 1t further was
related that this was in violation of
the State constitution and the consti-
tuition of the United States. Hearing
on the plea for preliminary injunc-
ton, was had before Judge Francis
Maker, who refused to grant the pre-
injunction.
The amount of taxes that the COM
pany will pay, this month"; under pro-
test, into the county treasures will
be about SOL 900. The payment Of
this tax will in no way affect the liti-

PARIS LIGHTS WENT OUT.
Strike Caused Business Houses and
Theaters to Close.

PARIS, March 9.-Without word OF
warning the employees Of the electric light
and power companies went on strike yes
terday afternoon at 5 o'clock. The Few
lights that were then burning were ex-
tineutshed and electric elevators ceased
running.
General confusion set in where electricity
is employed as the sole means of lighting.
Tradesmen closed their places of business,
and the proprietors of cafes made hurried
searches for lamps. Hundreds of candles
were thrust into empty bottles for lighting
purposes.
The evening papers failed to appear.
One that is usually issued at clock man
aged to get cut an edition at ID.
Electricity Is so expensive in Paris that
the trouble was not so serious as 1t might
have been. Gas is still in general use,
especially for street lighting. The theaters,
which are lighted by electricity, waited
until the last moment In the hope that
the current would be turned on again,
but finally they posted up notices that
there would be no performances, and That
the money paid for admission would be
returned tomorrow.
Rejane's Theater was fortunately con-
nected with the municipal supply, which
was not affected. This theater and the
Casino de Paris on the same block were
the only places of entertainment open.
tdldCe Oh lHe ElySec, tHc oluSi1l 1851
dence of President Fallieres, was without
light. Service lamps were hastily arranged
there.
The morning papers were utterly dis
organized. Some of them were not able
to appear, while others were reduced in
size. The Petit Parisien. which owns its
own Light and power plant, printing two
rnillf0h copies daily, printed the Paris
edition of the Herald this morning.
The strike is due to the fact that the city
is now discussing the renewal Of the electric
lighting contracts, which are about to ex-
pire. The men have forwarded their claims
in regard to wages, an eight-hour day,
pensions and holidays, which they feel
have been unfavorably received, and the
strike is a warning to the city to insure
the mems demands forming part of the
new contracts. The indoor men get fifty
two days rest annually with pay and the
outdoor men get twenty-six days. The
pay varies from IL to 10 cents hourly,
averaging 50 monthly for ten hours daily
work.
One result of the strike was the closing
of the Labor Exchange by order of the
project of the Seine. as the exchange is
lighted by electricity. This prevented the
strikers from holding a proposed meeting
there last evening. This caused much dis
satisfaction, and an attempt was made to
hold the meeting in front of the exchange
The police prevented this. Work on the
new subway has been suspended owing to
the absence of light. Much caisson work
Is progressing and 1t is feared that much
water Is certain to invade the tunnel.

FAVoRS FILLING THE GAP.
Chief Belts View Of Conditions In
Rock Creek Section.

William T. Belt. chief of the local fire
department. favors the filing in of a part
of the gap formed by Rock creek passing
through the northwestern section of the
city, an Improvement which has been pro-
posed to the Commissioners on several &C.
casions and has been seriously considered.
When the matter was first mentioned It
was suggested to the Commissioners that It
would be more advisable to preserve the
gap IN lts present form, In order to act as
q drebreak between the main portion of the
city OF Georgetown In the event a great
confagration should sweep across the city
In that direction. The service of Jones'
falls IN Baltimore during the big fire In that
city was suggested as an example
Upon this subject Chief Belt stated that
under certain conditions this gap would
tend to act as a check to sweeping fire.
but the FIRE happened to be one Of con-
siderable size and the wind was blowing In
the direction Of Georgetown, he believes
the flames might easily leap the gan and
continue on its disastrous path through,
Geergetown. He believes the filing in Of
certain portions Of the gap. or valley. as Il
is called, would be advantageous to his de-
psy tment in that It would afford better Ia
cilitses for moving his fire apparatus in
ina vicinity. According to the present con-
ditfons his nre apparatus Is put to much
Inconvenience and placed IN considerable
danger in getting at fires in the close VI
entity OF the gap.
grafton does not worry Chief Belt as he is
OF the op,rion that his fire fighting force
under ordinary circumstances would b
able to handle any fire satisfactorily with
the installation OF the high-pressure water
system which the Commissioners have been
trying to persuade Congress for the past
three years to adopt for the District, he
could defy any fire. he says. that might
arise. He considers the high-pressure va
ter system the greatest need of the city.
and with It the central and business sec
ton of the city would be better protected
from fire and such a thing as "fire-bfeak"
would not be necessary.

PARIS STRIKE SERIOUS
FEARED THAT TROUBLE WILL
SPREAD TO OTHER WoRKMEN.

PARIS, March 8-The strike OF elec-
tricians. which began here suddenly yester-
day evening, has assumed a serious aspect.
The men employed by the two remaining
independent companies went out early this
morning, and unless the dispute Is settled
Immediately 1t Is feared that the workmeH
of the gas company and the employees OF
the Metropolitan Underground railroad. on
which the majority of the population relies
for transportation, will be induced to leave
their work in sympathy with the strikers
Not since the siege Of Paris in 1870 has
the city been plunged in such darkness as
last night, and the affair. coming without
warning, has aroused the most Intense
resentment. In addition to the facenven-
fences resulting from the closing OF places
Of amusement and the stopping OF boule-
ward and cafe life, which is feature OF
Paris, the business interests OF the capital
are keenfy alarmed at the prospect OF neavy
material losses
Stores May Close at Dusk.
If the strike continues the stores Will be
obliged to close at dusk, many of the work
shops and manufactures will be compelled
to shut down on account of the lack OF mo-
tive power, and the foreign visitors on
whom the hotels and many tradespeopfe
largely subsist will be driven away. The
newspapers with the exception or the out
and-out socialist organs. severely condemn
the strike and insist that the government
should intervene and compel the parties 20
the dispute to reach prompt seg.lement.
The conservative newspapers, IKE tne
Eclair, say the strike proves how completely
Paris is under the dictatorship OF the FED
Grafton of Labor and its political allies.
The real cause of the dispute is the city
councils rejection of the plan for the mu-
naturalization of the electric plants or the
city, the granting of a new concession LOT

place it's employees ON the footing or the
men employed by the city IN the matter ol

Action by Cabinet.
At the conclusion of the cabinet council
TODAY a note was issued saying that Pre-
mier Clemenceau had given instructions to
the prefect of the Seine, NJ. de Selves, and
the military governor of Paris, which would
insure the operation of the electrical ptanls
tonight. 1t was assumed that this meant
that it had been decided to place military
engineers in charge of the electrical works.
The electricians held meetings during the
day and decided in favor of continuing the
strike. At the same time some OF tae ieao-
ers were negotiating with the prefecture
of police to insure protection for members
of the unions in case they decided 10 re-
sumo work. .
The workmen want the government to
compel the Rothschid- Schneider syndicate
