SICK FR0JI DRINKING WATER.
Fountains Supplied Through Lead Coil Should
Je Visited as Little as Possible by the Thirsty.
The coincidence of five men being taken
sick at the Union Station yesterday morn
ing caused a report that they had been
poisoned by eating ham. The sick men
were Recs Moore, a policeman, Beuj. Mc
Farlaud. a gateman. Van Dynea, shed-man,
and Martin Slaughter, usher. Mr. Moore
told a reporter last night the story was
false as far as the ham was concerned.
Some who ate of it more heartily were not
taken sick, and some rho ate at other res
tan rants were prostrated. The symptoms of
their illness were those in marked degree
of cholera morbus. A doctor who was
called to attend one of the
men said that tha attack was
probably caased by drinkiug too much
water, and possibly it ras from drink
ing too much of tho water from the waiting-room
fountains at the Union Station.
The water from tltes passes throush a
long lead coil, covered with ice, and if it
should tand long, might absorb some
poison from the metal. The fact that the
sickness began at an hour when tho fount
ains are little used, and th water would
stand, gives some plausibility to this
theory. Nono of the men are seiiously sick,
but two wero not able to return to work

HOW TO IMPROVE STREETS.
The Commercial Clnb Proposes Narrow
Eoadwaysand Good Parking Space.
A Plan Outlined by Its Committee on City In
terests Some Figures from the Census
The Free-Gas Scheme Defective.
ritOMOTTXO IMrilOVE3IENTS.
Commercial Club Directors Consider Streets
, and Other Things.
The first thing the directors of the Com
mercial Clnb did at their monthly meeting
yesterday afternoon was to thank the Itev.
O. C. McCulloch for the address he gave
Sunday morning on the needs of tho city.
This was done on motion of Dr. Henry
Jameson, by which it was alsoordered that
the address be published in pamphlet form.
Colonel Perry then presented an extended
report concerning the proposed improve
ments at the arsenal, and accom
panied it . with a statement that an
appropriation therefor at present is
out of the question. He gave as a reason
that Mr. Cannon, chairman of the appro
priations committee, is firmly opposed to
an3' expenditure for this pumose, and were
all the rest of the committee in favor of it,
it would still be impossible to necure tho
funds with this opposition. Colonel Perry
Also stated that, under these circumstances,
he had been informed by Indianapolis peo
ple in Washington that it would be utterly
Ineffectual to send n delegation there in
tho interest of the appropriation. The re
port was received and placed on tile.
Colonel Perry reported, from the com
mittee on city interests, a series of
recommendations concerning street paving.
Tho report sent back to the club the reso
lutions devising plans of street paving,
for open disenssion before the club. It
was also stated therein that the committee
had not the. .necessary technical knowl
edge to determine specifications for
different kinds of .paving, and
did not feel able to pass
upon the matter. It was further suggested
that the question bo referred to the com
mittee on the paving exposition. Another
section of the report set out that the com
mittee could not recommend fixing tne
requirements with which contractors are
to comply, as such a duty called for the
assistance of a civil engineer and attorney.
Colonel Perry said that Conncilman
Kassman had informed him that a com
mittee of Council was considering the same
subject He suggested that the secretary
of the cluh, in order to secure uniformity
of purpose in this matter, confer with
Councilman Kassman. The report was con
curred in, including resolutions as to
the width, of roadways, sidewalks
and parking space. The general plan
adopted waa this: In the business district
of the city, namely on Ohio street on the
north and tiouth street on the south. East
street on east and West street on the west,
the sidewalk spaco should be increased five
feet on each side, and the roadway nar
rowed accordingly. In the district bounded
by Ohio. East, West and North streets all
roadways should be narrowed to a width
of forty feet.
In districts outside of tho district bound
ed by North, South, East and West streets
the following plan should be observed: In
streets where spaco between the fences is
forty feet or less the roadway should be
twenty-four feet wide, the sidewalks on
either side five feet, and the remainder
should be reserved for parking and shade
trees between the sidewalks and roadway.
In streets where the space between the
fences is more than forty feet, and less
than nfry feet, the roadway should be
twenty-eight feet wide, the sidewalk on
either side six feet wide, and the remainder
should be reserved for parking and shade
trees between sidewalk and roadway. In
streets where the space is more than fifty
feet, and less than sixtyt the roadway
should bo thirty-five feet wide.the sidewalk
seven feet and the remainder asin the above
recommendations. In tho streets where the
space between the fences is over sixty feet,
the roadway 6hould be forty feet wide, tho
sidewalks eight feet. In no case where
roadways are narrowed should the side
walks be moved nearer the roadway, but
tho space between sidewalks and roadway
should be reserved for parking and shade
trees.
It was announced that 1.500,000 envelopes,
bearing an advertisement of tho city on the
back, had been subscribed for, and the en
velopes would bo in use before the close of
the month. Secretary Fortune made a state
ment concerning the census to the effect
that the club had been of material assist
ance in legitimate ways to the census corps
in getting as correct an enumeration
as it is possible to get. He reported
having received authentic estimates that
the census will show Indianapolis, exclu
sive of suburbs, to contain between 107,000
and 108,000 people, and with the suburbs
the city will number about 125,000 people.
It was voted to suspend the regular An
gust meeting, and adjournment followed.
THE FHEE-GA9 SCHEME.
Lawyers rind a Flaw in the Flan Fro po fed,
and Citizens Slake Suggestions.
The topio of free gas supply for manu
facturers creeps up now and then in the
talk of the lobbies and gossip of the street.
No one seemed to know yesterday any de
tail of the plan the Commercial Club com
mittee had prepared, but there was a gen
eral feeling that anything that would 86
curo the desired boon would be acceptable.
But this was with a proviso that individ
ual and corporato interests should be sub
jected to the general welfare in any policy
that might be adopted. "I think," said a
citizen yesterday, "that the end might be
accomplished by all stockholders of the
Trust donating their stock to the city. 1
own a few sharB and am perfectly willing
to let the city have them."
VUut in the city taking charge of tho
plant of that company would not the statu
tory limit of indebtedness interfere!" the
reporter asked.
"There would be no increase of the mu
nicipal indebtedness. Indianapolis could
take the plant and leave the plan of man
agement as it now is. Trustees could man
ago Trust affairs for the city as well as they
can for a corporation."
"But what about the Trust's certificates
of indebtedness? Would they not be as
sumed by the city and heconio a debt add
ed to what it now ovresl"
Not neceasarily. The certificates could
still be held as a lien on tho earnings of
the plant By some necessary legislation
means, no doubt, could bo reached by
which gas at a very low price, if not abso
lutely free, could bo given to manu
facturers." "Do you think the persons who bonght
in Trust stock at 40 cents, or a little more,
would consent to such an arrangement?"
"I do not, and with them the difficulty of
such a scheme would lie."
Perhaps this plan would be as unsuccess
ful as that of the Commercial
Club committee, which has just been
passed upon by the lawyers. Yes
terday the " ten lawyers selected
by the club for that purpose examined the
the . committee's propositions and pro
nounced them invalid. They involved an
increase of the city's indebtedness in guar
anteeing bonds of the proposed Manufac
turers Natural-gas Company. The law
yers' report to the Commercial Club was
made by Charles W. Smith, who stated in
writing: "The report of your committee was
taken up and fully and carefully considered.
After much consideration, I was directed
to report to you that it was the unanimous
opinion of the members of the committee
firesent that under the Constitution and
aws of the State of Indiana it is not with
in the power of the city of Indianapolis to
guarantee the payment of the bonds re
ferred to in subdivision 9, of the plan of
your committee."
This is the view of John M. Butler. A. L.
Roache, Solomon Claypool. A. C. Harris,
John Cavin, Edward Daniels, Nathan Mor
ris and A. L. Mason, whom Mr. Smith
represented. It is announced, though,
that the cluh will not abandon
its purpose to devise some means by which
free gas may be obtained. It may he that
the outcome will be fouud in a suggestion of
one of .the lawyers named, and which was
referred to in tho meeting yesterday morn
ing, with his colleagues of the'comiuittee.
Center township, he said, has not by any
meausreached the limit of municipal indebt
edness. It owes only 42.000. What the city
cannot do in guaranteeing the bonds pro
posed iu the plan it is assumed the town
ship can. As the city is the greater part of
the township practically the guarantee
would be that of Indianapolis. "But." fur
ther said this lawyer. "The economical plan
would be to have Center township subscribe
$500,000 to the Consumers' Trust, so it can
construct a plant by which the manufact
urers could obtain free gas."

IT EEDZJCED THE BEAT.
Wind, Lightning and Italn, in the Nick of
Time, Sared the City from a Hot Night.
H. R. Patrick, is in charge of the local
signal office in the absence of his chief, Mr.
Wappenhant, and his first day's experience
was attended by very hot weather condi
tions. It was a day that one, if he could
help it, wou'd not go through more than
once. Until the storm came up, about 5
o'clock in the afternoon, there Was no tell
ing what intensity of heat was in store.
There were no indications of a break nntil
in the north a dark-blue sky, about half
way up from the borieon, appeared. In 5
the west and south the sky was without a
cloud to mar its beautiful light-blue. Ap
parently there was no storm in
that direction, but tha unpleas
ant look the northern sky had
made nervous folks apprehensive. They
had good reason, too, to fear a disturbance,
for directly there came a blow, and with it
storm clouds as if drawn troin below the
horizon by magic. Then there was light
ning of the zig-zag fashion, with the distant
roll of thunder. A breaking-up of the ele
ments seemed probable every moment,
when the wind by spurts became .fiercer. '
the lightning almost incessant and more
vicious, and the thunder deeper. Wher
ever the wind went it created a disturb
ance in tho dust that had been baking- all
day under the rays of the sun. Clouds of
dust rushed through the streets, blinding
Eedcstrians and shutting oil' a view of the
eavens. The outlook was by no
means promising for peace. But,
apparently, after the full force of
the wind had scared half the population
out of their wits by playing aronnd the
city, it veered to the northeast. After that
came a refreshing rain, and with it more
lightning and thunder. No one wanted to
run the ordinary chances of the electricity,
for wherever it had peculiar advantages of
causing trouble everybody kept out of the
way.
When the electricity was making a splen
did display, there came a crash on the roof
of the Sentinel otfice. A bolt of lightning
knocked oft" a section or two of a sheet-iron
smoke-stack, went through the roof and
tore a lot of plastering off the ceiling of the
Sentinel Printing Company's composing
room. The occupants of the room went
down stairs pell-mell, and the rain came
rushing through the hole in the roof.
In all parts of tho city there were
broken tree limbs, and here and
there an nprooted tree itself to mark the
power of the wiud. The storm drove away
the oppressive heat and left conditions that
were in keeping with the prediction of
cooler weather to-day. Everybody felt
better after the almost intolerable heat of
the morning and afternoon, and gathered
in places where the best effects of the cool
air could be had.
Overcome by Heat.
Philip Carter, sixty-four years of age,
was overcome by the heat while at work
yesterday at Dickson & Shovels ice-house.
Kregelo's ambulanco men removed him to
his home, No. 421 Pratt street. His condi
tion was considered quite serious.
BUSINESS ENTERPRISES.-
A Large Sheet-Iron-MUl One of the FosslV
bilities for This City. 1 '
Mr. Barry Coleman, a well-known St.
Louis manufacturer, is in the city, a guest
at the Bates House. His mission is to in
terest the Board of Trade in a project
which, if carried through, will give Indian
apolis another large industry. It is the
establishment here of a sneet-iron-mill
which' will employ 150 men. Mr.
Coleman was in conference last night with
the committee on manufactures of 'the
Board of Trade. At the close of the confer
ence he was asked by a Journal reporter
for information concerning tho proposed
enterprise, but replied that the matter was
as yet not far enough advanced to admit of
his saying anything concerning it. 'There
is some local information," he remarked, '
"which I must secure before anything:
definite is determined upon. If the mill is
established here it will be a good thing
for the city, but if not, why. the less said,
about it iust now the better. It may be'
soveral days before the matter is setffed.
Meanwhile I do not think it best to say
more than I have said." It is said that St.
Louis capitalists are willing to take a large
share of the stock, but want the balance
raised in Indianapolis.
Articles of Incorporation.
Articles of incorporation were filed yes
terday with the Secretary of State for Lesh
Penrod & Co., of Goshen, and tlio Lafay
ette Creamery Company. . The first com
pany has $150,000 stock, with officers as fol
lows: President, John Lesh; 8ecretaxj Jo

pany are Win. Schwegler, Rufus A. Lock
wood. Job Osborn, Hngh B. Cochran,
Charles O. Thompson, IL D. and Sauiuel
Moore. They will operate with $12,500 cap
ital stock.
WHAT THIEVES DID.
A Sneak Succeeds in Getting Money from'
Obliging. Flour-Millers.
Bachman & Reeves, flour-millers at the
corner of Madison avenuA and Ray street,
were robbed yesterday afternoon by a
clever sneak-thief. The thief entered the
office of the mill and asked one of the firm
to change a five-dollar bill, and in the brief
absence of the clerk and member of the
firm a few minutes after, the contents of
the safe were stolen. The thief secured
about one hundred dollars In silver and
four checks for $375, $133, $43 and $.V. re
spectively. The detectives were given a
description of the rascal, and Gerber and
Quigley were detailed on the case.
His Dozing Cost Him a Watch.
D. Blackwell reported to detective
Gerber, yesterday, that be had been robbed
of his open-faced gold watch on tho night
of the 4th. while sitting in front of ii house
on South Illinois street. Blackwell said
he remembers dropping into a doze while
in the chair, but did not miss his watch on
awakening.
Trouble a Bill Caused Illm.
John Siles presented a counterfeit $10
bill yesterday at the Union Station ticket
office in payment for a ticket to Hayesvillo,
Dubois county. William Vehling, who
received the bill, deteoted it as counterfeit
and refused it, whereupon Siles paid for
his ticket in good money. Siles was ar
rested on the train by patrolmen Raf tery
and McMullin, and United States Mar
shal Dunlap was notified. The prisoner
was brought before Commissioner Van Bn
ren, who, after an examination, concluded
that Silet, who is a farmer, forty-five years
old, was innocent as to any knowledge
that the bill was spurious. It was an ex
cellent counterfeit, and the prisoner
claimed he received it from some man in
Dubois county. He was discharged.
Cannot Build Just Now.
Although West Indianapolis erected, last
year, two additional school buildings; at a
cost of $10,000 each, the accommodation is
still insufficient, and the school trustees re
cently asked the town board for $$,000 with
which to build another school-house. The
board, however, ascertained that the bond
ed indebtedness of the town almost reached
the limit of the law, and as it was, there
for impossible to secure the money, the
school trustees have abandoned the project
until next spring.

Horticultural Society will meet at 1 r. m.

of Beneficiaries of the Summer Mission.
The fresh-air committee of the summer
mission for children met yesterday morn

This committee is made up of Dr. H. A.
Cleveland, chairman, Alex, Johnson. Wm.

states the name of the patient, with age
and nature of sickness, date, and name

cooking and attendants' tents. The dis
tribution of tickets will begin this
morning. Any one willing to de
vote a portion of each week
in assisting tho committee will confer a
favor by sending his or her name to the

mittee and ottered free transportation to
the beneiiciaries of the mission over the

For Bummer wear, with simple afternoon

moonstone in an artistic silver setting.
And it is supposed to bring good luck to its
wearer. You are in luck if you buy your
jewelry at .
There's a corset that isn't
a corset, a waist with straps
for the shoulders and rows
of "buttons to button on
skirts and stocking supporters
and so forth the Ball Waist
and that's about the whole
of it. No ; you can put it
in the washtub no metal in
it or on it.
It is worth your seeing, if
for nothing but how to sew
on buttons-to button easy and
never come off, and how to
make buttonholes wear for
ever. Women differ in their ways
of thinking and dressing as
well as in other ways. This
waist is for women whose
minds are made up that they
won't wear corsets.
There's much to be said
on both sides; but did you
ever hear of a woman who
hadn't made up her mind in
some way? and is there any
possible use in trying to get
her to change it ? She ,will
and she will ; or she won't
and she won't
You can get the Ball
Waist and wear it a week or
two or three; and, if you
don't want it, take it back to
the store and get your money.

more uniform in texture, than hand-made bread.
