BLAZE ON NORTH SIDE
Spectacular Fire Believed to
Have Been Started by
Incendiaries.

A spectacular blaze last night de-
stroyed the one-story double front
frame building at 717-7I9 East Cost
lin street. The building. which be-
longs to Nathan Harris, is total loss,
including much of the household goods
belonging to the two families that
lived in the rear
The front of the building was occu-
pied as a saloon while the adjoining
was nothing more than a vacant store
room. The first was first noticed about
z o'clock, but it was not until o'clock
when fire departments Nos 1 and 8
left the scene. The occupants of the
buildings all escaped without injury.
1t is not known how the fire origi-
mated, although it looked to the fire
men that 1t started in the saloon. The
alarm was turned in long after the fire
had begun and there was not much for
the departments to do but to protect
the surrounding property
While departments Nos. 1 and 8 were
lighting the fire. department No. came
to Central station to protect the heart
of the city.

COW|NG WINS The RACE
Republicans Are Successful
in Delaware County and
Light Vote is Cast.

Indianapolis. Ind, Sept. 1s.-In the
closest contest of yesterdays elections
to fill the vacancies in the state, legis-
lature, which assemblies today, Lewis
G. Cowing, republican, was chosen to
represent Delaware county in the
house.
His victory over Otto Williamson,
democrat. was by q majority of 272.
according to the official count. Cow
ing will succeed oliver Carmichael,
republican, who resigned
Another interesting contest, in
which the democrats are said to have
won by a small margin, was that in
Newton. Jasper. White and Starke
counties. where A. ]. Law, democrat t,
was elected joint senator over Abra-
ham Halleck. The democrats claim
victory by a majority of but &c votes.
Law will succeed Richard Mccain, re-
publican, of Kentland.
In other elections light votes were
cast. for in some instances there was
no opposition to the nominees The
vacancy in the senate caused by the
death Of John Benz, democrat from
Crawford, Perry and Dubois counties,
will in all probability be filed by Sam
uel Benz, son of the late senator. In
Dubois county Benz won over his
democratic opponent by a plurality of
1888 votes. The district is strongly

More public improvements for Ham

with prisoners and the dodgers who
apply at the station. The board of
public works has planned to erect an
adjoining building to the present fire
station. The new addition is to be
used as a squad room for the police,
and will contain cells for women pris-
oners and in another division cells for
male prisoners. The whole building
will be heated by heating plant that
will be installed.
Mayor Becker and members of the
board of public works yesterday after
noon visited Robertsdale with the idea
of learning what improvements are
necessary.
The improvement is provided for in
the new tax levy at $3.50.

CHICAGO MAN
HIT BY STREET CAR
Sixty third Street Car Hits
-Iorse and Wagon Driven
BY Chicagoan.
VICTIM BROUGHT TO HAMMOND
Driver Sustains Dislocation of Shoul-
der and Serious Internal
Injuries.

The first accident in the Calumet re-
Sion which can be directly traced to
the fog occurred Indiana boulevard
between Roby and the White House
when street car No. 3S4 struck a horse
and wagon owned by Julius Stabbret
~ kendall street, Chicago.
The driver had his shoulder dislo-
Gated and was slightly injured in other
ways He was brought to Hammond
where he was attended by DR. Oberlin
The horse was knocked down and the
impact of the street car was so great
that the front wheels of the wagon
were broken off.
Whiting Car Does Damage.
The car which struck the wagon was
a Sixty-third Whiting car and
the motorman did not see the wogan
ahead of him until it was too late to
stop his car. When the crash came
the driver was thrown from his seat
TO the ground and had his shoulder
dislocated as a result.
The horse was also thrown to the
ground but was not injured outside OF
being badly bruised up. The fog was
so heavy that the wagon was not
disernable until the car was too close
for the accident to be avoided.

ACCUSE EACH OTHER
Hammond Men Swear Out
Warrants For Assault
and Battery.

The only arrest which has been made
by the police in the last twenty four
hours is that of w. H. Cox and Fred
Granger. who swore out warrant for
each other, one on the charge of pro-
voking an assault and the other on a
charge Of assault and battery.
1t appears that W. H. Cox is driv-
ing an express wagon for the Golden
brothers on commission, and in the
course of the performance Ct his du-
ties he picked UP some express which
Granger, who is also an expressman.
was in the habit Of carrying for one Of
his patrons.
There was an argument over the
matter and finally Granger Jumped
onto Cox and trounced him Cox
swore out a warrant for Granger's ar
rest and Granger pleaded builty and
was fined. Granger then had Cox a
rested for provoking the assault. but
Cox was able to prove his innocence
and was released.

STREET PAvEMENTS
To BE SPR|NKLED
TwentyS Six Miles of Thor
oughfare to Be Cared For
By Tax Next Year.
MAYOR SANCTIONS THE PLAN
Citizens Are Expected To Be As
sessed For Relief In Homes
From Dust and Dirt.
MAYOR SANCTIONS THE PLAN

Twenty-six miles of street comprising
the total length of paved streets in
Hammond will be sprinkled three times
daily next year. That is the good news
that emanates from the city hall in the
wake of the tax levy of s1.S0 that was
fixed for the year 1908 last Tuesday
night by the city council
Mayor Becker is the author of the
plan, having gone about it quietly but
determinedly to rid the city of it's
worst evils and so solve the dust prob
lem. 1t will undoubtedly meet with
popular favor, as the plan provides for
low tax to be assessed upon only
those who reside along the streets to
be sprinkled
Beneficiaries Pay For SprinkIing.
In this way the man who lives on an
uppaved street will not have to help
pay for benefit that man on a paved
street receives.
1t is estimated that the new plan of
street sprinkling will cost the bene-
nclary not more than a dollar a season,
sum that is almost ridiculously low
Some time ago, when the work of fix
ing the new levy began to present il to
tHS "NAllhiSbidlAOll, mayor Becker be-
gan to figure out how he could best
and cheapest solve the problem. He
found that there were twenty-six miles
of street in Hammond. and that allow
ing springling team to walk fifteen
miles day, four wagons could cover
sixty miles a day, which allows three
trips day provided the street car
company sprinkles its portion
Individual Plan Failed
Several years ago the plan of sprink-
ling the paved streets of Hammond was
tried by private contract, but the busi-
ness men dropped out one by one u.il it
became losing proposition. In those
days It was up to the fndfvfduaI but
the new plan provides fund supported
by the residents along the paved
streets.
The city is already provided with one
sprinkler and with the beginning of
next year three more will be added
The street sprinkling will not only be
a public benefit but it will be a saving
on the streets, especially those macad-
amized as it prevents the screening and
filling to blow away

ARGUMENTS BEGUN
IN NOTED CASE
Attorneys Take Up Famous
Question in Lake Superior
Court Today.
They WANT TRIAL BY A JURY
If Judge Grants This Plea, Saloon
keepers Will Take Change of
Venue From County.

The hearing of the famous Gary re-
n>onstrance case was begun in the Lake
superior court in Hammond this morn
ing and the court room was crowded
with lawyers who were representing
the saloonkeepers.
1t is estimated that there are at least
dozen attorneys who are appearing in
the interests of the saloonkeepers and
against Attorney w. H. Mathews and
Attorney o. j. Bruce of this city, who
are representing the romnstrators
The arguments this morning were on
the question of the right OF the at
torneys for the saloonkeepers to de-
mand a jury trial The question in
volved some fine legal points and the
arguments this morning were very
weighty and interesting
The attorneys for the saloonkeepers
contend that they have the right of a
trial by jury on the question of the
merits of the remonstrance, while Mr.
Mathews, representing the remonstra-
tors, showed that in no case where
there has been an appeal taken from
decision of the county commissioners.
has the appeal been decided by jury.
NOulO tDauEe or enuf.
Mr.. Mathews said to a reporter of
THE TIMES this morning that If the
cases were to be decided by a jury
there would be no hope for the remon-
strators, as he did not believe a jury
could be impaneled in Hammond which
would decide the matter against the
saloonkeepers, even If the law was
made plain in the matter.
He said that if he did not secure a
decision, favorable to the trial by the
court, he would take a change of venue
and would try the cases in another
county.
Attorney Mathews showed that from
long experience he had become very fa-
miliar with the law in the matter of
remonstrances and his arguments on
the question were very clear.
Is 1t To Be Court or Juryg
1t becomes apparent from the legal
scrimmage between the demonstrators
and the saloonkeepers that the ques-
tion, as to whether the trial shall be
by court or by jury, is of vital i'm
portance.
If the demonstrators win there will
be little but a formality in finally COM
ing to a decision in the matter, as At
torney Mathews thinks there is not the
least doubt that the remonstrance is
valid and will stand the most care
full scrutiny of an unbiased Judge.
The whole city Of Gary is in suspense
awaiting the outcome of the first legal
battle, as the citizens of that place are
conveniced that the question of rying
the case by jury or by the court is of
vital Importance.
Among the attorneys who are ap-
pearing for the saloonkeepers are, A. F.
Knots, Senator johannes Kopelke, L. L.
Bomberger, W. ]. McAleer and w. E.
Roe.
