TIIE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1904. 6 COUNCIL VOTES S125.000 TO REPAIR FLOOD Bond Issue of This Sum Is Authorized and Public Works Will Be Restored. ORDINANCE IS VETOED Fact Is Brought Out that City Is Close to Limit of Bonded Indebtedness. A bonl Issue of 1123.000 was voted at last night's meeting of the Council as a tubstitute for the issue of fc.VpO,or) asked by ilayor Holtzman, on estimates of the city engineer as to the cost of the necessary work to repair tho lamiige done public works by the recent Other important matters were the vtto by the mayor of the "huckster ordinance." passed at the last regular meeting; the pussage of the ordinance taxing breweries find brewery agencies or depots $1,. annually, and the decision that Council will take up the consideration of the change of the New Telephone Company's fran chise to tha laxe company organized to absorb the old one at ft apscial meetinig to held tha lutter irfirt of this week or not later tfczn next Monday evening.

MINORITY REPORT ISSUKD. The bond issue of for flood repairs tras advocated and passed by the Recpub-llcaa majortly, which discussed the measure ia caucus before the Council meeting. It was then decided that tho estimates made by the city engineer of the cost of the necessary repairs and new work were too hastily made to be reliable, and that $123,0) should be voted now, to be follewed later, if necessary, by -an additional appropriation of $73.000 or a less sum. A minority report from tho finance committee, signed by Councilrnen Fi-shback and Shea, was laid upon the table. It favored the "We are so close to the bonded limit now," said a Republican member last night, "that we thought the city should go slow-about making a large appropriation until we have some absolutely accurate information.

The estimates of repairs necessary by Engineer Jeup struck U3 as not close enough. We are willing to vote more money If it 'is needed, but we want to first see that it is surely needed. I understand that the city lack3 about $273,000 of lta constitutional limit of indebtedness, and a bond issue would leave Indianapolis with only $75,00) to so la an emergency." MAYOR VETOES MEASURE. The. "huckster ordinance," passed by Council at the last regular meeting, provided for a new rate of license fees to bo charged peddlers end hucksters, the annual licenses being in some cases two and three times those charged by the present city law.

Mayor Holtzman accompanied his notification of nonapproval with a vigorous statement of the reasons for his action. "I cannot believe." said the mayor, "there ever existed any reasonable public cause for this extraordinary increase in the license fee for peddlers and hawkers. "The general public is, of course, interested in being protected against cheats and frauds among hawkers and peddlers, but the existing ordinance as amply provides such protection as the ordinance I here return. On tho other hand, the general public is interested in having groceries, products and the wares usually handled by hawkers and peddlers, brought to the doors with convenience and cheapness. Which In a fjvat measure must depend upon the competition in this line of business.

Certainly the public is not interested in the imposition of such a tax upon thi3 class of dealers as will drive them out of business." BREWERY MEASURE PASSED. It Is not believed that the supporters of the new licensing ordinance will insist upon Its passage over the mayor's vote, and there is grave doubt that this could be accomplished. The ordinance vetoed by the mayor was strongly pushed by the retail gTocers of the city. Th brewery tax ordinance, an administration measure for the provision of more funds for the city treasury, was finally passed with an amendment calculated to make absolutely sure of the inclusion ii tije list of corporations taxed the outside, brew-cries that maintain agencies or dpots in Indianapolis, as well as local eouccrns. Six councilrnen voted against the ordinance, Crall.

Epprt, lloffi.an, Linus and Murray. Councilman Co per, who is seriously ill, was not at tho but the other councilrnen to the lumber of fourteen. Democrats and Republicans, voted for the measure. COMMITTEE WANTS MORE TIIE. Councilman Crall, chairman of thy committee on contracts, and franchis.

announced that his committee had iot had time to properly consider the QUuion of granting a franchise to the Indianapolis Telephone which has absorbed the New Telephone but wants a few' more days. On his motion it was decided that this Question shall be made tho special order of a special meeting of Council, to be called for the latter part of this week or not later than next Monday evening. The ordinance was passed appropriating the sum of realized from the sale of bonds, for the construction of tho new bridge across Fall creek at Northwestern avenue. Not a single new ordinance was Introduced. DETECTIVES SAY RINGS HAD BEEN STOLEN (Two Men Are Arrested While Attempting to Pawn the Jewelry.

FOLEY REFUSES TO REPLACE PAVEMENT Daniel Foley, one of the contractors who was notlrted by the Board of Public Works that he must replace block pavement laid by him and torn Up by the overflow from Posue's run. has emphatically declined to act at the board's suggestion.

DAMAGE PEOPLE RECLAIM HOMES FROM THE RECENT Scenes of Devastation Are Supplanted by Business of House- Cleaning.

STREET CLEANERS BUSY With Fall creek again running in its banks and with most of tho back water from the river again out of the lowlands, the flood that has visited the city within the last two weeks with so much disaster, is now a thing of the past. At midnight last night the water gauge stood at about live feet and was continuing to recede rapidly. On the banks of both Fall creek and White river a large amount of debris and diiftwood remains, which was brought down for many miles above the streams and in seme instances has completely filled the yards and homes of many of tho victims of the floods. In the vicinity of the flooded districts families were seen "cleaning house" and moving back household valuables that had been taken out during the siege of high waters. In some in stances some pitiful scenes of destruction were evident where the torrents had almost completely riddled the houses.

The floods also considerably damaged the manufacturing establishments on the borders of the waters by rusting the castings and machinery. The flooded condition at Morris and Division streets was such as to cause the Standard wheel works to close down yesterday, and it may be several days before work "can be resumed at this plant. The water stood at' a depth of six to eighteen inches in the rim, spoke and other departments. The company employs 430 men in its service. Street Commissioner Herpick put sixty-three men and twenty-five teams at work along the borders of I'ogue's run yesterday cleaning up the work of devastation that was accomplished by the floods.

It will be many days before this work will be completed. MOTHER DIES OF MEASLES; Six Orphans, All Afflicted, and Brother Journeys Here to Complete Funeral Arrangements.

WANDERER AGAIN LEAVES HER HOME Woman Disappears and, Being Mentally Weak, Her Relatives Are Alarmed. Mrs. Bessie McLaughlin, who was found wandering along Fall creek about a week ago, has again disappeared from her home at 5dG "North East street. "When she left the housq she had a gold watch and a number of diamond rings in her possession.

Every woman who has kneaded dough and who has not? knows two very important First, that there is an art in kneading; second, that there is plenty of hard work In kneading.

A gentleman whose residence is in Ohio and who probably has had his worthy wife drill these two facts into his head has patented an Ingenious device to assist womankind in this important task. The picture very ably illustrates the thing. There is a trough with a semi- TIIE KNEADING BOX. circle bottom Into which tho dough is placed. Above this and adapted to move backward and forward is a "kneading stick." which consists simply of a roller of wood with a projecting handle.

In kneading this is rolled back and forth over and into the dough. It presses deep upon the dough at the hides of the trough, while, as it passet the center, it is elevated above the dough and allows it to settle back to one or the other side, according to the direction the roller Is taking at that particular time. It seems to tie a pretty good Idea. The usefulness of the invention is enhanced by the attachment of drawers to the lower part of the trough, in which may be kept tiour and other Ingredients.

N. takes lave of his wife and two little childien one May clay to go away for an absence of two weeks ca a mission which he does not and to a place which he dees not name. A like mysterious trip has bn taken durlntr every May of their married life and has formed the only cloud between them. The wife is loyal, but tioubts a rife in Filte of hor.

She watches her husband on this occasion f-om an upper window ar. 1 s-es a strange woman emerge from the vil-lipe inn and 'greet him on his way to the railroad station. A feek after his departure a cWk from the bank in which Hami ton is employed as cai-hier comes to her resM-mce- to see him and tells tho suspicious Mrs. Hamilton that he saw hT husband at the bank at 8 the night before, vfce has not 5een him and i.i greatly alarmed. Investigation develops that no one has Mil him but the clerk.

No suspicion of is felt ty th ofhr bank ofllcers. so great is their trust in Hamilton, but they begin to fear foul play. Mrs. Hamilton employs a detective and also advertises for the missing Th president of the bark receives a mysterious letter, without postmark, signed by Hamilton, saying he cannot return at present and testifying to the perfect honesty of t)sborn. a clerk, who has been some suspicion.

A bank expert line's that certain notes have been fraudulently raised Irom the amounts originally written. (Charter IV, Continued from Yesterday.) "lie saw irf the papers that Hamilton had disappeared, or rather did not return as was expected, and so wrote to me that he saw Hamilton on the i'sth; that he deposited a note then as collateral for money which was paid to him on the spot. Therefore. Hamilton was all rlsht at that date. I immediately telegraphed to know amount of note, if it was payable to this bank, and by whom it was given.

In less than an hour the reply came. It was payable here, the note was for $5.000, and Howies Estes were the makers of the note. Of course, I knew Bowles Estes's note was for live hundred, and so it came out, doubtless, much sooner than Hamilton expected." "A dark look!" "Couldn't look much blacker, hey?" "No; but I am sorry for his wife," said the detective. "It will be sharp work hunting him up." "I am afraid so. I should say I never wish to see his face again if it was not for his bondsmen." "Can it be they believe him innocent?" "Not now.

They did until to-day." Mr. Hrucc took his departure shortly afterwards, musing deeply over the present developments of the mysterious affair, for exceedingly mysterious it seemed to him. In tho whole course of his calling he had. known of nothing like it, so puzzling and complicated with what appeared to be such adverse matters. Here was a man universally esteemeel, who for years had been guilty of nothing worse than mysterious yearly journeys (yet which were supposed to be innocent enough until now); a devoted husband and father; a member of the Congregational church, of which he was a deacon, young" for the position; cashier of the savings bank where the poor people wn0 worked at his mill deposited their earnings this man, It seemed, was a defaulter, a fcrger, the deserter of his wife and family.

Worse yet, it appeared also that he had lett his wife and went away in company with another woman, though this did not seem quite so evident. Contlrmation. slight though it might be, was waiting at the corner of the street the person of Miss Talbert. "I saw you." she began directly, "when you left the bank, and as I had given you a wrong idea I felt bound to set it right at once." "How do you mean?" "About the handkerchief. Mary, our chambermaid, came in soon after you left and asked if she might have it, as it was marked with her name, and she was the only Mary in the house.

'I suppose you might as well have it, I said; 'but how did you happen to know about said Mary, 'I handed it to Mrs. Anderson when she first came. She was continually dropping things, and I noticed the name. She asked me what it was, and I told her Mary. She said that she did not notice that it had a name on it when she bought Before she thoutht.

Mary asked her If it wasn't her name then. and she said no, her name was Lenora." Hie detective was startled out of his general immobility by the internal workings of the matter. A elevelopment like that was startling, when it would have seemed so much more likely to have never come to the surface. Hut he managed to thank Miss Talbert for her information and to say, "No wonder she did not recognize the name nerseir. It looked quite as much like a rosebush or a You gave the handkerchief to Mary, I conclude; Mary what?" "Mary Neil.

Yes, I gi've it to her." CHAPTER V. MR. CARTER BREAKS THE MATTER GENTLY. In less than two eeks fhe injunction was removed from the bank, which resumed active operations. The bondsmen paid the sum for w-hlch they were obligated, and matters rapidly took on their usual aspect.

Strange as it may seem, through nearly all the turmoil Mrs. Hamilton had only her vague suspicions, if they deserved so severe a name, ard her fears for her husband's safety to trouble her mind. Every night and midday she looked for him, and never failed to experience the sinking of the heart following the elation of hope on each occasion. She did not hear from Detective Bruce, but knew full well that he was searching for her husband, who, she tried to feel sure, would return to her if he could, the moment he learned of her anxiety and trouble. If ill somewhere and unable to be moved, or unable to tell who he was, of course she would have a longer time to wait, and waiting was so tedious! Now that he was absent so long all irritation ceased.

It seemed almost as wicked to suspect him of anything not strictly honorable as if he were dead and gone beyond her questioning. She busied herself each day now with some duty, for she thought, "When Vane comes home I shall want to have everything done. He may be ill and I shall have to take care of him." She ceased going out more than was necessary, and went about the house looking up bits of work to do for her husband, taking a stitch here and there, arranging his books and letters, which, however, she did not read, making a new cushion for the chair he liked best, and working a pair of Slippers with initials of her own hair. She showed them to Mrs. Fry when the latter called in one day to see her.

"I want everything in order when Mr. Hamilton comes back," she said; "his old slippers were quite shabby and he will like these." "Sure I guess he will. Them letters on that crimsorr velvet looks awful nice. I s'pose you haven't heard nothin from him?" "Not a word." "Beats all! but the mails ain't what they once was. A letter I wrote to my sister out West she never got.

Wall, you'll hear 'fore long, but mebbe he'll come to sur prise you." Mrs. Fry kept up the fiction, whenever she talked with Mrs. Hamilton, of supposing Mr. Hamilton to have been delayed for a week or two by business, though she knew perfectly well the grave charges against him, and daily felt a giving away of her own once lirm convictions of his innocence. "Hut who could tell her?" she said to Dan that night after her return home, "and she a-gettin' ready for him all the time, and a-workin slippers with her own hair.

She'd oughter know it, but I hain't the heart to tell her, poor thing, and she Is gettln as poor as a crow, too, and holler-eyed and peakid." "Mr. Carter might let her know; it's his place, mother." "I know it; but, poor man. you know how he hates trouble or work of any kind. The mill business, he told me yisterday, was a'most klllln' of 'im." "Wall, he's bucklln to it like a man. Think's he must, 1 s'pose, he an' Mr.

Henderson, too." Yes, Mr. Carter and his partner were doing well at the mill, but it could not be denied that the loss of money and Vane's defection were hard to bear. Pitying Ms niece deeply, he could not bear to add to her fcTkf by telling her of the terrlbio By MARY R. P. 'HATCH Copyright by Lee Shepard.J suspicions entertained now almost universally, and so he sat generally quite silent at his meals, spending his remaining time at the office, under the plea, correct enough, of press of business.

Hut one day after a conversation with Mrs. Fry, as she left the house and encountered Mr. Carter, he decided to tell his niece the whole matter, and so after tea one evening he sat in his arm chair beside her and said. "Are you too busy to talk a little "I am always busy, for I find so much to elo. and I want to get everything in order before Vane comes.

But I am ready to talk with you, for you have seemed too tired lately for conversation. You have rcallly earned a rest, and when Vane comes I am sure he will insist upon your taking it." Mr. Carter looked at his niece intently to see how much of this was surface talk, and to wonder if she really then had no suspicions, as her words would Indicate. A slight trembling of the eyelids, a bending of her head lower over her work did not enlighten him. "Women are deep," he thought.

"She wants me to think, anyway, that her confidence is untouched." "Constance." he said frravelj. "has it not occurred to you that your husband may never return?" "He isn't dead! You don't mean to tell me that?" she cried in a sharp, wild voice, clasping her hands and looking at him with wide eyes and terrified gaze. "No, no, child, I don't mean that, but maybe it is as bad." "As bad! Nothing could be as bad as to lose my husband, uncle. I could better lose all else besides. I have thought about it a great deal since he went away, and I am convinced that to lose Vane would kill me." 0 come now, Constance.

I wouldn't go on like that. Women's husbands die every day, and they don't feel like that; the most of 'em get married again. I only wish your husband was as well off as theirs." "As well off as theirs dead! What do you mean. Uncle Carter," said Constance, rising with indiernant face, crimson where it was pallid before, "to sit here and tell me you wish my husband were dead! Are you crazy?" "You will make me crazy, Constance, if you go on that way. Your husband is a dishonest man.

there!" blurting it out and mopping his face energetically. "I meant to have broken it to vou easy, but you wouldn't let me," he said in a complaining tone. It was hard enough, he thought, to pay bonds and do Vane's work, without being abused by Constance when he was striving so hard, too. to spare her feelings. Hut he was alarmed directly by Constance falling back in her chair.

Her hand dropped beside her and an ashen hue coveered her face. Her uncle thought she was dying. He flew to her side, grasped a tumbler of water and was about to deluge her with it. but she put up her hand and said weakly: "No. not that, I am so cold." She was shlverinjr now, and her teeth chattered eu; udibly.

'What shall I get you?" cried her uncle. I shall be bcter soon. I am better. You were saying, uncle" she said feebly. "No matter what I said.

Folks get mistaken. Forget it all. I would. Don't bother your heaH about It." She motioned to her work basket. "Get that paper," she said.

He looked and saw a neatly folded newspaper, the "Boston Globe," containing, as Mr. Carter saw directly, a full account of the bank examination, under headlines like these: FULL DISCLOSURES. A X. II. SAVINGS BANK SUSPENDED.

HAMILTON'S DOWNFALL. Belief That the Grovedale Cashier Is in Canada. A Suspected Entanglement with a Beautiful Woman with Emerald Hair. ASTOUNDING REVELATIONS. "Why!" gasped her uncle, you knew nothing about it." thought "I did not until yesterday, and I would not believe it.

The paper was over a week old, and I thought that It related to the first suspicions, but that since then all had been proved right." "Do you really mean that you believed all this in the face of such disclosures as are given by this paper?" "I did and do." Constance was herself now, and faced him fiercely. "Do you suppose twenty 'Globes' could make me suspect my husband of all that dreadful wickedness?" pointing to the newspaper with disdain. "I thought by this time all was right at the bank, and that people had found out their mistake." "Matters were set right at the bank by his bondsmen paying the amount that was missing, Constance." "You were one of them, uncle." "Yes." "Well, when Vane comes back he will pay you." "What follv Is this Cnnstnnoo co v. uncle, sternly. "Henderson and I held out till we could do so no longer.

The proofs were overwhelming; the account you have read Is true." "Oh. uncle, you don't believe it. You ean't believe it." "My poor girl, I do; there is no choice but to do so." "But because he went away and does not return, is that criminal? lie may be ill somewhere. People frequently have brain fever, and cannot tell so much as their names." "But Vane was well on the 2Sth of He was at the bank the 22d. He got $3.000 at the national bank in Boston on a note which he presented himself." "But hadn't he a right to when he ia the treasurer?" "He hadn't the right, Constance, to alter the note making the amount ten times as much." "Oh, but it must have been some one else." "Low, Simon Low, the cashier, knows him perfectly, my dear." "I would sooner think Low changed it himself and pocketed the rest after giving Vane the ttve hundred." "That is folly, Constance.

Low would not dare do such a thing. No, there is nothing else to do but believe the story. I stood out stoutly, and so did till we heard Low's statement. That decided "You took the word of a stranger against Vane, whom you have known for years." "Listen, Constance," said her uncle, quite patiently, though he inwardly wondered that women could be so unreasonable. "The proofs were overwhelming before; they satisfied everyone else; but when Low's letter came to the president of the bank, then a telegram stating details, we had to believe.

If more proof were needed. It was supplied afterwards when another altered note, this time altered from four hundred to four thousand, came in. Tor a day or two It looked as if the bank must fail. The trustees issued a circular to the banks of the country to send in any deposits they might have of their paper, but there was no response; so it is likely no other notes were offered. That is exactly as the matter stands.

Constance. 1 thought it wrong to leave you in ignorance any longtr. You know how I nate unpleasantness or trouble of any sort, and that I would not have told you If it could have been avoided." "I know, uncle Carter, you meant to be kind," said Constance in a low, restrained voice. "I am sorry I spoke to vou so sharply, but was upset by matter broached when I had having the set it one side. I don believe it now.

and i am sorry that you do. Vane will be surprised, uncle, to see how soon you could be made to harbor suspicions against him. But no matter," as he openeel his mouth to speak, "you cannot help it, perhaps. You did not know him as I did. 1 am sorry about the money, but Vane will reimburse you if he is living.

If not, I will," and Constance took up some sewing, and. selecting a needle already threaded, took a few tremulous' stitches. Her uncle went out the door and down to his otlice ruminating. "She has doubts, I can see that, but she won't gle way to them. There are deeper feelings at work in her heait than her words show.
