The HaiiKh ille Sequel to the Shooting of Joel toiiilt Uy innen Joint-nnn-o Violence. About fifty employes of the National Malleable Casting Company, In Haughville, struck, jesterday afternoon because the foreman refused to discharge thirty All of the men were employed in the core making department.

The strike 1 the direct outgrowth of the shooting of Joel Combs by James Johnson, colored, both of whom were employes of the company. Racial prejudice has been apparent at the plant for some time, and there were several minor outbreaks before the riot and fatal shooting Saturday night. This latter affair embittered the white men against the negroes and' frc5h fuel was added to the flame yesterday morning when George Faber, white, was discharged. The suir-lnendent claimed that he had been the cause of the riot Saturday night. The news of Faber's discharge soon spread through the plant and at noon the white men working In the core department held a meeting and demanded the immediate discharge of all the negroes.

The superintendent refused to accede to the demands of the white men and all of them struck after working about one hour. The men were then told that they were discharged and would not be reemployed. A meeting was held in the afternoon in the hall in the rear of John IUist's saloon at the corner of Warman avenue and Michigan street, and another in the hall over Fat Uroderiek's saloon at 1T2H West Michigan street last night, and at both meetings it was decided to stand lirm and not go near the plant unless the negroes are discharged. The men have organized themselves for the purpose of holding out against the negroes, hut are acting independently of their union. The white men complain that the negroes have caused considerable trouble at the at different times.

About a month ago one of the negro employes shot at Richard Uroderick. and it has not been long since a negro tired into a crowd of white toys. There were no demonstrations of violence yesterday afternoon or last night. A police sargeant with a s.juad of patrolmen were at the lant yesterday afternoon to prevent any outbreak. SAMUEL T.

Mute of Indiana nnil lliiilroad -pit ii Fighting for a Prize of VIGOROUS LANGUAGE USED Ymi'AM mich i imi a ision i Attention Culled to the "Four Crn-elnl I'erIMl in the Company' Fifty Venr' of Life. A brief of mammoth size, containing ni printed pacts, was filed in the Supreme ourt yesterday by John (1.

Chambers. Pickens Moores and Uwrenrc Maxwell, attorneys for the Terre Haute Indianapolis Railroad Company, in that Company" appeal from a judgment rendered ty Judge Carter, of the Superior Court, against it in favor" of the State of Indiana in the sum of rdo-Vd. The biief enumerates forty-eight separate assignments of error, for the commission of which it asks that the judgment be reversed. These errors pertain to Judge Carter's rulings on the State's demurrers to the different paragraphs of the railroad company's answer; also to the rulings on the railroad company's exceptions to the leport of Noble C. Rutler, master, and to the lower court's finding against the company.

The action grew out of a demand made by former Attorney General Ketcham upon the railroad company for all of its net receipts since Jan. 17. 1S73. so far as such receipts exceeded 13 per cent, of the capital employed in the construction of the road after its earnings equaled the cost of construction, together vith V) per cent, thereon, as specified In the charter granted to the road. The railroad company has relied much upon the suit of the State on the relation of Denny, attorney general, against the railroad company, filed in 1S75 in the Marion Superior Court.

In which the defendant's demurrer to the complaint was sustained and final judgment rendered, which was later affirmed by the Supreme Court. The brief filed yesterday contends that the action of 1S75 is an effectual bar to the State's present attempt to collect money from the railroad company. Among the numerous points discussed by the brief Is one that alleges negligence on the part of the State in attempting to collect what was believed to be due it. The, brief admits that a charge of neglect does not hold good against the State in its sovereign capacity, but asserts that when the State enters into a commercial transaction such as this it divests itself of Us sovereignty and is then open to charges of neglect the same as an individual would be. FOUR CRFCIAL FKRIOD8.

The brief recites that during the fifty years of its existence, from 1S47 to 1VJ7, the Vandalia Railroad Company passed through four crucial periods. In 3S51 and iMiS it was threatened with destruction from financial reverses. In 1S73 and 174 the State brought against it a quo warranto proceeding asking the forfeiture of its charter because it had not paid into the State treasury for use of the school fund a per cent, of its earnings, as required by Its charter. In this action, says the brief, the court held that nothing was due the State, and then the road was allowed to continue unmolested until in 1W7. when, after it had gone into the hands of a receiver, the State filed the present claim against It.

based on an entirely new law-enacted by the Legislature of 1VJ7. In its attack upon this law the brief says: "Legislation more curious than this was never submitted to the consideration of a court. The company by express legislative authority had surrendered its charter In 173. The Legislature of 1W in amending the law under which the appellant's charter had been surrendered declared and enacted that no such surrender had been made. The company's charter was not subject to alteration, amendment or repeal.

The Legislature of 107 enacted that, notwithstanding the acceptance by company of the general railroad law of 132, any and all provisions of its charter might be amended, revised, repealed or added to. Section 23 of the original charter required the company to account to the State for only such profits as might accrue after the Legislature had regulated its tolls, and the Legislature was not permitted to regulate its tolls until the aggregate amount of dividends declared had equaled the full sum Invested, with 10 per centum, per annum thereon. The Legislature of 1S97. notwithstanding the surrender of this charter In 1S73 and notwithstanding there was no right to amend it. amended Section 23 In such a way that the company was required to account to the State for its profits from the beginning, regardless of any legislative regulation of its tolls and freights, and permitted tills legislative regulation to be made when the aggregate amount of dividends earned (not declared) amounted to the full sum invested and 10 per cent, per annum thereon.

Going still further, the Legislature of 1N7 appropriated for the use of common schools all of the profits of the company which might be found due to the State upon a certain basis for accounting fixed by the law of March 4. 1N7. The Kisis thus fixed was not in any manner warranted by the original Section 23 nor even by the amendment thereof on the 24th of February, In stating the account be-tv- the parties under this act of March 4. the company would be credited with the full sum invested, together with interest thereon at the rate of 10 per centum per annum, and would be charged with the total receipts arising from the operation of tho road. When those receipts equaled the sum invested, with 10 per cent, per annum, another account would begin.

The companv would be charged with total receipts until Jan. 17. 1S73. would then be credited with 15 per cent, per annum upon the capital employed and the balance would represent the amount due the State. It will be observed that in stating such an account neither dividends declared nor net earnings would be considered.

It is the 'total receipts' of the company up to and including the 17th day of January. 1S73. which the law specifies shall be chanted against th company. From the aggregate of the total amount received between the date when the total receipts equaled the amount invested and 10 per cent, per annum is to be deducted only 15 rer cent, per annum upon the capital used, and no allowance whatever is to be made as a reserve for future-contingencies. "No Justification of any of this legislation In 197 is possible.

None has ever been attempted. The bare statement of It Is sufficient to show how obnoxious it is to those provisions of the Constitution of the Fnited States to which reference has already been made." VIGOROUS DENUNCIATION. The brief concludes with a vigorous denunciation of the method by which the case was tried in the court below. "The merits of this cause." says the brief, "were not fairly tried and determined in the court below." and it concludes thus: "A grave and far-reaching error was committed when the demurrer to the complaint was overruled. A theory of the case was then adopted which was palpablv and wholly wrong.

A construction was put upon appellant's contract with the State, which was in plain violation of all rules considered binding upon courts in the interpretation of statutes. Then eirors followed fast treading upon each other's heel. In sustaining demurrers to the answers it was h.ld that the action was founded upon a contract in writing, and that the twenty statute of limitations only applied, and that the State was not subject to the doctrine of laches and ncquiescene-'. The case made by the complaint was submitted for decision and an entirely different case was decided. The undisputed facts showing a former adjudication of all the matters presented by the complaint were entirely disregarded.

"In tine the record is full of errors, both law ind fact, all to the manifest injury of appellant. The unlawful attempt of the State to create a liability where none existed under its contract with appellant was carried to a successful end in the court below, and It is most respectfully submitted that the Judgment below should be in all things reversed." The copies of the brief that were filed in the Supreme Court attracted much attention because of their binding, which is of morocco bather. Briefs bound so handsomely rarely appear in the office of the clerk of the Supreme Court. JOHN JONES KILLED. A Hit? Four Fireman Fell from Iii (nb nnil Met IntHnt Denth.

John Jones, a Rig Four fireman, living at 227 Jackson street, was instantly killed csterday afternoon on the bridge over Big Kagle creek. He had been emploj'ed on the St. Iuis division of the Big Four for about a month. Yesterday, with the train crew, he went to Sunnyside. The engine returned "light" to Mount Jackson for water.

While crossing the bridge Jones, who was in the gangway of the cab. talking to Fngineer Ruck" Sag1, slipped and fell. Th motion of the engine caused him to fall from the cab. His head struck one of the upright beams of the bridge, fracturing the skull and killing him Instantly. The body was taken to the city morgue by City Dispensary doctors, and later taken by Ling Finn to prepare for burial.

Jones was married and leaves a widow, who Is a cripple, and three children. PROF. HENRY J. COX HERE II IS AKING A Tom OF WKATIIKIl UlHKAl' STATIONS. Will Recommend Additional Room for the Lornl Ilureau Forccust for Farmers.

Henry J. Cox, professor of meteorology In connection with the United States Weather Bureau, is in the city, having stopped here on a tour of inspection of the Weather Bureau stations in different Western States. Professor Cox is located in Chicago. lie speaks highly of the past work of William T. Blythe, the new local forecaster.

Professor Cox thinks the present quarters of the local bureau in the Majestic building insufficient for the work that Is being done here, and will recommend to the department that additional room be provided. During his present tour Professor Cox visited the station at Cairo, 111., and reports that the people of that section are much pleased vith the river forecasts that are now being made. Cairo is at the Junction of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and that locality is ever on guard against high waters. The Weather Rureau keep the people informed in advance of the rise and fall of the water, and warns them when there Is danger of floods. Professor Cox and Mr.

Rlythe nre both enthusiastic over the success of the scheme to furnish the farmers of the country with daily forecasts. These are sent the postmasters each morning by telegraph, and by them are sent out over the rural mail routes. In Indiana these forecasts are circulated among the farmers in many localities. Professor Cox will probably wind up his work here to-day. HELD FOR COMBS MURDER COLOR KD MF.

A PK A It 111 foiu: ji DGFi sn mis. Throe of the Men Ronml Over AVith. out Hall Contention Other Ce Ilenrd. In Police Court yesterday James Johnson, Sam Williams, Charles Dradshaw and William Griffin, negroes, were examined 'and held to the grand jury for the murder of Joel Combs on Saturday night. Johnson was charged with the murder and the others with being accessories.

Johnson had previously made a confession, telling all cf the details, which corroborated the stories told by Griifin, Williams and Rradshaw. A plea of guilty was made, but withdrawn upon demand of their attorney, who insisted that the men be given an examination. All but Griffin were bound over without bail. He was given opportunity to secure release upon furnishing a bond of $1,000. but was unable to secure it.

Commitments were ready at the conclusion of the examination, ami they were hurried to the jai where they were separated. The police have strong cases against all of the men, and, with the possible exception of Griffin it is thought there will be no trouble in securing convictions on the charge of being accessories to the Johnson's father has considerable property and many friends, and it is thougnt when the cases come up for trial a hard fight will result In an effort to clear Jounscn. Ve-terday in court Superintendent Hyland and Captain Gerber were the only witnesses put on the stand for the State, and they gavo but little of the evidence they have against the men. Judge Stubbs dealt severely with McClenahan, a negro, who claims Nashville as his home and who appeared charged with carrying concealed weapons, lie was found by Patrolmen Cronin and Larsn late Saturday night sitting in an alley. When searched a large revolver was found on him.

He went to the workhouse to 5-orve out a tirfe of $r0 and costs. Maxine Demoine, inmate of an Fast Court-street resort, was fined $25 and costs and given sixty days for drawing a knife, and $5 and costs for being an immoral woman. Melvln Montgomery, 313 North Fast street, and Harry Krug, 421 North Illinois street, each about eleven years of age. were in court charged with the theft of horses. Their cases were continued until Thursday.

Detectives Dugan and McGuff say the boys have been stealing horses in various parts of the city and Keeping them for a day or two in a vacant at Hall place and then turning hose. A large number of horses have netn reported missing, but most of V.nm have been found after two or three days. In the stable the officers found a horse and buggy belonging to John Huffner. of TGj Indiana avenue, and a lot of brushes, blankets, buggy curtains and pitchforks, which it is thought were stolen. The boys, it claimed, stole feed from barns In the vicinity, and the animals in their custody did not lack for food or care.

F. K. Chapman. Fred Ayres. Ferdinand Mayer and H.

P. Wasson, of the Merchants' Association; Councilman Cooper, Negley, Wahl, Meyers and Sourbier, of the contracts and franchises committee; Major Megrew, Kdwin Logsdon and Charles Ma-guire, of the Board of Works, and the probabilities are the question will be pretty thoroughly discussed. With Mayor Bookwalter, the gentlemen named met in the mayor's office last night to thresh out the interurban contract question, and, although the main points of the contract, relative to the matters of compensation and route, were argued in detail, there was no definite conclusion reached. This morning, upon the invitation of Mr. McGowan, the representatives of the Merchants Association, the Council committee mentioned, the Board of Works and officers of the interurban roads concerned will take a drive over the different routes suggested as feasable and try to settle the matter one way or another.

A GKNKRAL DISCUSSION. Last night, although there were present at the meeting fully fifty gentlemen interested in the solution of the problem, It was found impossible to go through the contract section by section, disposing of each feature as presented. Instead, after an examination and discussion of a map showing the principal streets and an informal exposition of ideas by many or the merchants, the meeting was called to order by the mayor and the discussion of two main features of the contract taken up. Councilman Cooper, of the committee, raised the question of fares. "What action is to be aken as to city tickets on inter-urbans?" he asked.

He suggested that while it might not be wise to insist on their being accepted by the conductors of outgoing cars, there seemed to be no injustice in giving citizens the benefit of using city tickets on incoming Interurban cars. In answer to Mr. Cooper President McCulIoch. of the Fnion Traction Company, talked at some length. "As to this matter of tickets." he said, "it is all or none.

The Council must make us accept city tickets on all our cars, both incoming and outgoing, or else give us the right to refuse them on all the cars. Should a half-way measure be adopted it would be the cause of endless complications, and the papers would be full of rows between our conductors and passengers who could not get it through their heads why tickets would not be good on one car as another. As to city business in general, let me say right here that neither my company nor any other interurban company wants it. We don't want to be bothered with it. it will bo.

a loss and an annoyance to us. Let me give you an example. Last Saturday night a single Greenfield car leaving the city late hauled 131 passengers to Irving-ton, and took out of that suburb only seven for Greenfield. Dozens of Greenfield people unable to make their way through the rush of city people to board the car had to spend the night in the city." Mr. McCulIoch remarked that the.

difficulty of keeping off city passengers is one of the hardest propositions with which the interurban roads have to deal. ONLY ONK CHOICE. Mr. McCulIoch took occasion to emphasize the necessity for the Council to give the interurban roads a "square deal." "If wc had not gone ahead and built these roads we might ask anything In reason and get it from the city," he said; "but now we. have to take what we can get.

However, there is dependent upon the treatment we get the building of interurban lines from Logansport. Martinsville. Shelby ville, Kokomo, Crawfordsville anci Mainfield, and the city will surely not frighten away by unfairness to us what will equal an increase more than people to the population of Indianapolis." Voicing the unanimous desire of the Merchants' Association, Ferdinand Mayer said that Washington street is the only way for the, interurban cars to get into the city, whatever way may be given them to get out. He took an incidental shot at the railroad companies in speaking of the practical impossibility of obtaining continuous low fares, which would aid in bringing people into the city for trading purposes. He was of opinion that passing the cars over Washington street one way would not interfere with traffic.

Mr. McGowan, in few words, explained that even now with city cars alone passing over it. Washington street is sometimes almost impassable for pedestrians. He said that should the Council give to the interurban companies the right even to come in on the street it would be absolutely blocked and the Merchants' Association would soon repent of the permission. If such permission were given.

Mr. McGowan said, he would find it necessary to remove many of his cars from Washington street. While it is advisable to tap Washington street, he thought, still nothing could be more unwise than to use it as the main line of entrance or egress. MAYOR, TAKES A HAND. Mayor Rookwalter took up the discussion and if in the opinion of the gentlemen present it were not far more advisable to inconvenience interurban passengers by having them walk a block or more to get their cars, than it would be to cause annoyance to the or more people who use city cars on Washington street daily, and who would be given a lot of trouble should the hoking of the street cause tho removal of city cars.

It would be far better, he thought, to make the man who comes to town only once a week walk the added square or two. The officials of the interurban roads are not at all insistent in their demands and stated that all they desire is a fair entrance on a good street. Mr. McGowan. of the street-railway company.

is apparently throwing no obstacles in their patli and the discussion of the question was very quiet. The party of gentlemen mentioned will this morning look over Maryland. Georgia. Ohio and other streets. The loop suggested by Mr.

Logsdon seems to be in favor. The committee on contracts and franchises expects to be able to report to the Council at the meeting next Mondav night. C1ATHAI, LAHOR At TIOX. What Hint llody Rewire in the Way of it Franchise. John F.

White, representing the legislative committee of Central Labor Fnion. arrived at the meeting of the council committee last to be heard and was re-quested to mail a communication he desired t'" prcMiit to the mayor. There are about members of organized labor in the city, representing inhabitants, and it is argu that they patronize street-railways as much if not mTe than any other tlas of citizens. The communication addressed to the board follows: "Whereas. The city authorities now have under consideration certain fianchis.

on. trai ts relating to the use of the streets by interurban railways, and. whereas, the Central Labor Fnion has alv.ays pursued the iolicy of lending its influence to secure contracts of this character that would fully protect the public interest, we therefore declare: "1 That all such ontracts should be for a short term, so as not to fetter those lcal with the proMems In the future, or if a long time contract is made, a stipulation should be inserted permitting a readjusting of the terms of operation at short intervals. These periods should not exceed live years. "2 That there should be public supervision of accounts, the railway officials being required to make annual reports to the eity of gross business transaction, such reports to he sworn to and to be verified by official inspection.

This will furnish reliable data for future use. "3 -That the routes of sich railways should be so arranged as to take the cars out of the congested portions of the city. "4 That the roads should be required to establish a-central or union station for the handling of freight ami passengers. That there should be well-guarded provisions to prevent arranging dangerous complications as a result of possible future combination of city street-railways and interurban line-s. "We recognize the value to the city of these interurban lines and in the developing period should meet them with a spirit of liberality consistent with the public welfare, anit believe if tin provisions outlined above are recognized in the contract the question of fares, transfers and other compensation to the city are not material at this time." The letter is signed by John F.

White. Thadius S. Gurley. Roscoe Barnett and Fdgar A. Perkins, constituting the legislativ committee.

The communication indorsed by Central Labor Fnion last night lefore being taken to the meeting of the Council committee. STOLEN FLAG RECOVERED IMTiliJMTi OF IX RESTORING IT TO ITS OWXFR. Governor Durbin Highly Gratified to Again Have linK of Ills Regiment in Hin Possession. The restoration of a regimental flag through the mysterious workings of religious impulse is the subject of a story that is arousing much interest in state official circles just now. The flag in question is the one that adorned the headquarters tent of Col.

Winfield T. Durbin. now Governor of Indiana, whenever his regiment, the One- hundred-and-sixty-iirst, In the Spanish-American war, was In camp. The flag was originally presented by the women of Mount Vernon, to Company of the One-hundred-and-sixty-lirst, and by that company loaned to Colonel Durbin to be used at his tent In Camp Mount. When the One-hundred-and-sixty-first Was ordered to Jacksonville the flag accompanied it, and was daily saluted in front of Col.

Durbin's tent at that point. Later the beautiful emblem did similar duty at Savannah, Ga. When the order came to the One-hundred-and-sixty-first at the latter place to embark for Havana, Cuba, Colonel Durbin superintended personally the packing of the flag, and himself stenciled the name of its destination on the box. Arrived at Havana, the camp equipage was unpacked, but when Colonel Durbin's flag was sought it could not be found. The most thorough search failed to bring It to light.

The loss created much regret, especially among the officers and men of Company by whom the silken banner was highly prized. Time, however, effaced this feeling, and the loss of Colonel Durbin'js flag ceased to be even a memory. About two weeks ago Adjutant tieneral Ward received a letter from a man residing in a Western town inquiring if the One-hundred-and-sixty-first Indiana Regiment had lost a flag during the Spanish-American war. The writer of the letter confessed to having been tempted by the silken richness of the emblem-into stealing It, but he declared that recently he became converted and his conscience commanded him to restore the flag. General Ward knew nothing of the loss of the flag at Havana, but upon inquiring of Governor Durbin was quickly intormed of the incidents related above.

The banner is row lying upon a table in the Governor's parlor in the Statehouse. Will Have to Walt a Year. Governor Durbin confirmed yesterday the statement published in the Journal some days ago, that the present monument regents will be reappointed Nov. 1 to constitute the board of control of the monument in accordance with the law enacted by the last Legislature. The Governor said he appreciates the claims of the Spanish-American war veterans, but thinks it would be in good taste for the veterans of the civil war to remain in charge of the monument at least until after it is dedicated, which will be next May.

There will be a vacancy on the board of control at the end of a year and then, the Governor Intimates, the Spanish-American war veterans will probably secure the recognition they ask. 91.00 DKCAT Vit AM) It ETI Via D. A V. Sunday, Nor. 3.
