The controversy existing: between John Maxwell, a former Indianapolis newspaper reporter, and Nat C. Goodwin, the actor, over the authorship of "Ambition," Is ore that has excltei considerable interest among Maxwell's eld friends in this city. John Maxwell was born in, Indianapolis, hisparent being among the older residents. s father, a few years ago, was a wellknown wholesale Iron merchant on South Meridian street, being the head of the firm of Maxwell, Fry & Thurston. John Maxwell began business life as a newspaper reporter, his first experience being on the Indianapolis Sentinel la 1SS5. Durlrg the Cleveland and Thurman campaign, and while in the employ of the Sentinel, he made hi3 first effort at play-writing. It was during this time that a fight between two rival undertakers over the body of a man who had been killed occurred in this city, and it was charged that one had employed a man to steal the corpse from the other. Maxwell was assigned to this news item. During that week Evans and Hoey were playing "A Parlcr Match" at one of the theaters. A short time afterward Maxwell showed to several of hi friends the manuscript of a comedy in which a character similar to Old Hoss stole a cropse. The troubles of the rival undertakers were embodied In the play, which was very laughable. It was believed, however, to make comedy with too grave a subject for public success. In one of the scenes It was necessary to u?e a coflln in full view of the audience. Old Hos, after he had passed the corpse out of the window to his pal. came near being caught, and was compelled to take its place In the oofiin, supposed to be packed In Ice. Then the friends came in and viewed the corpse, and the undertaker placed a guard in the room to prevent his rival from securing the body. This play was Mr. Maxwell's lirat. and was kept for some time. lie next undertook the task of dramatizing "A Tintel Venus," in conjunction with Marshall Locke, but for some reason it was never .finished, and Maxwell left this city to go to Milwaukee to work for the Evening News, of that city, and from there to Chicago to the world's fair. lie then went to e California Midwinter fair, where he C-Tas tent as a representative of Chicago papers. During the next summer he spent some time in this city with his parents, and wiUe here showed to several of his friends a play to which he had Riven the title of ConsrreiV which he said was to deal with the corrupt methods used by lobbyists in Washington, and that he had built his play "upon the Susar Trust rinses. It was to be, so he gave his frlend3 to understand, a satirical comedy. It was well known by those In whom he placed confidence that it wus his irreatest desire to write a play for Nat Goodwin, whom he considered an ideal comedian. If any one spoke of any other of the stars of the Goodwin school it was Maxwell's delight to express his admiration of Goodwin and then to say that the one ambition of his life was- to write a DJav mai vwwuwjn wouid acept ana produce No other comedian seemed to have th same fascination for him as Goodwin, and when talking to a friend about th ma, W 4 1 a r piece he had he stated that he was going to try ana kci jut. uooawin to at least read it.

ILLINOIS COURT SUSTAINS THfi DECREE OP JUDGE WALKER. He Had mailt to Order Stile of that Part of the Road In Illinois Hooker Cuse. A telegram was received yesterday to the effect that the two suits pending at Paris, 111., br John A. Todd and Elijah J. Craft against the I., D. & S. Railroad Company et al. had been decided in favor of the defendants on all points. The plaintiffs were represented by Henry Crawford, of Chicago, and the defendants by Mason & Latta, of this city; Charles Robinson Smith, of New York; John S. Miller, of Chicago, and J. A. Kads. of Taris, 111. The suits were brought to declare void the eale of the I., D. & W. Railroad Company under a decree of the Marion Superior Court entered by Judge Walker, June 23, 1531, in so far as said decree related to the railroad property in Illinois. It was contended by the plaintiffs' counsel that the decree of the Marion Superior Court was invalid In so far as It directed Sands and Pelrce, trustees under the first mortgage, to execute a power of sale in the mortgage and convey the railroad property from Indianapolis to Decatur to the purchaser. Including In such conveyance that part of the railroad lying In Illinois. The holding of the Illinois court conforms to the holding of the Indiana 8upreme Court to the effect that the decree entered by Judge Walker was valid In every particular. The case will probably be appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court, as the amount Involved exceeds a million dollars worth of property. The railroad secures by this decision a decree quieting its title to the Illinois property. SIIR WIELDED AX L'MRRELLA. 3Irs. Alice Holland Creates a. Scene In Judge Harvey's Court. Judge Harvey tried a divorce case yesterday In which an Ira to woman and an umbrella were Interesting and prominent features. The suit was that of Tllghman Treat against Annie Treat. The husband in the case Is a traveling man, who moved here two years ago from Terr Haute. In his complaint he charged that his wife was a meddler and had destroyed his peace of mini. The defendant came into court when the case was called armed with a crosscomplaint and backed by a bevy of feminine witnesses. Mrs. Treat accused her husband of misconduct with Daisy Myers, a goodlooking, black-eyed young woman of about twenty. Treat and the girl lived In the same boarding house at No. 2S4 North Illinois street. Doth denied the wife's charges. One of Mrs. Treat's witnesses was Mrs. Alice Holland, the daughter of Treat's landlady. She toll the court how Treat anl Miss Myers were ,n the habit of taking long walks and in fact were very "sweet on each other." She said they occupied adjoining apartments In the house, but the door between them was locked anl her mother always kept the key. She recalled having once remarked to her mother that "those people don't need two rooms." Toward, the wind-up of the case ex-Judve Stubbs, attorney for the plaintiff. Treat, pressed the witness rather close concerning a divorce which had been granted her. About this time Treat leaned over toward the attorney and whispered to him. "Is it not a fact?" asked the ex-JuJae, turning to Mrs. Holland, "that you twice wrote to my client, Mr. Treat, asking him to make up a party to go to Fairview and have some fun?" The eyes of the witness flashed with anger as she looked at Treat and Indignantly replied that she had written him no letters. The attorney switched from the subject, but the wrath of the witness did not abate and she continued to glare at Treat. JuJge Harvey, after hearing the evidence, annoinced that he would think over the case and adjourned court. Instantly Mrs. Holland was on her feet and after Treat. As she reached his sile she raised a heavy umbrella and brought it down with crashing force over his head. Treat attempted to back away, but the woman was upon him again and this time the umbrella caught him over the shoulders. Before Mrs. Holland could strike n. third time some one cried: "Eaillff. bailiff." and that official interfered. Mrs. Holland did not speak while attacking Treat, but used all her energy in wlelllng the umbrella. ASK FOR A RECEIVER. Tronhle Anionic the Stockholder of Indiana rnvlnw Hrlck Compnnr. Suit for an injunction and the appointment of a receiver fcr the Indiana Paving Brick Company was brought in the Superior Court yesterday by John W. Cooper, a stockholder, and until recently president of the company. The defendants are Julius A. Hanson, Trovllle II. K. Enos and Samuel C. Carey, stockholders and officers of the company. The application of the plaintiff to enjoin the company from disposing of certain assets, pending a final hearing, was granted by Judge McMaster, of Room 1. In 1S32, the plaintiff alleges, a contract was agreed upon by which he was to devote his entire time to the interest of the company. The contract provided that Hanson was to furnish the money required to conduct the business. At the end of each year a dividend was to be declared, 0 per cent, of the balance was to be paid to Cooper and the remainder was to be divided between Cooper and Hanson. This three years contract expired last December. After alleging certain violations of the contract, the plaintiff charges that Hanson gave twenty shares of the company's stock to his son-in-law, Samuel Carey, and that at a meeting cf the directors, Jan. 13. Hanson had himself elected president of the company and Carey elected treasurer. The case will come up On Its merits a week from Monday. HOOKER CHILD TO TESTIFY. The Defense Will Put the Little Roy on the Stand. The Criminal Court adjourned at noon yesterday until Monday. The only witness examined In the Hooker murder case was Mrs. Mary King, whose husband was a cousin to Mrs. Hooker. The witness appeared to know a good deal about the murdered woman, but was not permitted to tell it. She said that Hooker and his wife lived happily together until the accused began working at night. Then their trouble commenced. Hooker lived at witness's house after he separated from his wlfi. He never discussed his domestic affairs with the family, but witness could see that be was not right. Mrs. King was permitted to tell of one ocaslon when she went to Mrs. Hooker's house at nlsht. Tho children were locked In the room and their mother was absent. The attorneys for the defense expect to put the little Hooker boy on the stand to testify as to the conduct of his mother. Tho child will probably be one of the last witnesses. A STRAW-HOARD COXTRACT. X. K. Fulrlmnk & Co., of Chlcns;o, Sue the Crosby Paper Company N. K. Falrbank & Co., of Chicago, yesterday filed suit In the -federal court against the Crosby Paper Company, of Marlon, demanding $5,000 damages for failure to fulfill a contract for the delivery of strawboard. Last May, according to the complaint the Falrbank company entered Into a contract with the Crosby company for the purchase of 350 tons of strawboard at $13.50 per ton. delivered In Chicago or t. Louis, with the provision that the order might be Increased to 4"0 tons, all to te delivered before Jan. 1, l$Ti. Until Dec. 12 the Falrbank company had ordered for delivery only about 1) tons of the contract amount. On that date an order was sent for the other XOO tons. In the meantime the price had risen from $15.50 to $31 a ton, and the Crosby company failed to fill the order, which would have caused a loss of $1,500. The Falrbank company now demands $3,000 for the failure. Mrs. Sherman Sara the L., X. A. A C. William G. Young, assignee of the Insolvent affairs of Emily J. Sherman, began an action against tha Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railroad Company to recover damages on account of an allege! violation of contract. Last summer Mrs. Sherman was in charge of the amusement features at Rroa 1 Ripple Park anl, as the complaint avers, went to a heavy expense In arranging for the regatta which came off Aug. 17. The plaintiff says that a contract was male with the Morion railway to carry passengers to the park on that day. The trains, it Is averrel, were to stop at a point nearest tho park entrance and let passengers off. It U charged that the company violated this contract by carrying people on to the Broad Ripple station ani

that many of those who came out to see the races founl points of vantage on the west side of the river. The venture proved disastrous to Mrs. Sherman anl the assignee alleges that the railway company is partly responsible. Damages in the sum of $100 are asked.

Records Will Show the Payment. In the Circuit Court yesterday Thomas Hale got a Judgment for $150 against Fletcher's' Bank, the Judgment being agreed upon by the parties to the suit. Hale was a patron' of the bank and some time ago placed $1G0 on deposit there. Before he drew the money out his room was broken into and his trunk stolen. He kept his certificates of deposit in the trur.k and they were never recovered. The managers of the bank permitted the matter to be taken into court in order that the records might show that the money deposltel by the plaintiff had been drawn out. The man charged with the theft of Hale's trunk wa sent to the penitentiary and the bank people thought U probable that the certlrieates would sometime be presented for payment. LAST OF THE DOCTORS. American Association of Physicians and Sara-cons Adjourns. ' The fourth and last day's session of the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons began at the Statehouse yesterday forenoon. President E. C. Covey, of Detroit, In the chair. Reports of committees and chairmen of sections were made and considerable routine business transacted, but no new papers In medicine were read. Considerable time was consumed with the report of the section of vaccination, which was made by its chairman. Dr. W. B. Clarke, of this city, who made plain the fact that it was not a section of antivaccinatlon, a9 some have supposed, but of vaccination, in which both sides of the perplexing subject were to be presented. The great preponderance of testimony developed during the meeting had been against vaccination, showing its unscientific basis, its inefficiency and dangers, and that its compulsory enforcement was clearly illegal, a3 shown in several recent court decisions in the East, especially in Brooklyn, N. Y. The report further recommended that the nine essays presented by the section be printed by the co-operation of the chief officials of the government at Washington for the general good of the citizens of the United States. Tho following resolution was then adopted : "Resolved, That the section on vaccination be continued, and we recommend the full consideration of the subject by the members at the next meeting." It is likely that the next meeting will be held at Buffalo and that one of the most important vaccinationists of the country will be made chairman of the bureau, so that the fullest discussion may be had. In the hope of settling the matter for good. After a vote of thanks to the press of the city for the full reports given, adjournment sine die was had. A banquet was given in the evening by the Indianapolis Academy of Medicine. After the covers were removed toasts were given and responded to by members of both societies, notably President C. E. Covey of Detroit, Dr. M. R. Leverson of Port Richmond, Staten island, N. Y., and Dr. Ii. B. Glass of New York city, all of whom were later elected honorary members of the academy. Other speakers were Dr. Casebeer, of Indiana, and. from this city, Drs. H. S. Cunningham, H. C. Kel3ey and W. B. Clarke. . NOT IN ORIGINAL BILL. Mr. Van Arsdell IHsensse Section of Fee nnd Salary Measure Friday night Mr. W. C. Van Arsdel, who was chairman of the committee that drafted the new "fee and salary" law, was in Anderson. In speaking of the suit that the late treasurer of Madison county, William Boland, recently' brought to enjoin the payment of the salary of the Republican treasurer, Mr. Van Arsdel is quoted as saying: "I have no doubt but that Section 126, so far us it concerns auditors and treasurers, will be declared void. With Senator Duncan I compiled the law and we completed It about a half hour beforo It was passed by the caucus. We did not make It read that auditors and treasurers should be dependent on the collection of fees for their salary , and I am certain those sections were Inserted there by mistake of some of the clerks who had charge of the bill. We did not mean that it should read that way and in voting for the bill did not know that it read that way. I am confident that the law as a whole will not be disturbed, but that section will be declared void because It Is in opposition to ninety-two sections of the bill that preceed It, wherein the salary of auditors and treasurers has been fixed; because It does not comply with the constitutional requirement that all the officers of the State government shall be Eald for their services and because it will e clearly shown to the court that it was a clerical mistake. So far as Mr. Boland is concerned I am confident that he will be required to return the amount of extra fees." THE BOY WAS INSOLENT. Principal of School :i2 Charjred with Whipping 111 in. Miss Cora Day, principal of school No. 22, was defendant In an assault and battery case In magistrate Johnston's court yesterday. The prosecuting witness was one of her pupils, Elmer Volohmer, fourteen years old. It was charged Miss Day had whipped the boy severely and that she struck him in the fact with a switch ?.rid cut him over the eye. A number of witnesses were examined, amongst them three other young women who are teachers In No. 32. Testimony given showed the boy was violating the rules of the school by playing in the snow. The other teachers testified the lad was Insolent and disobedient and that Miss Day was not unnecessarily severe. Miss Day herself testified she saw a slight scratch on the boy's face, but that he was not severely hurt. The case was taken under advisement. Typographical Vnlon's Card Party. Indianapolis Typographical Union No. 1 Inaugurated a series of entertainments with a card party on last Thursday evening at St. 'Joseph's Hall. Tho large attendance made a division of four sections necessary. The prizes were tasty and well chosen. While refereshments were being served, piano and violin solos were rendered by Miss Cummins and Mr. F. A. Adams, which were well received. President Prescott and Secretary Wines, of the I. T. U., were present. Mr. Prescott and President Oburn, of the local union, contributed a unique exhibition of athletics on the parallel bars which was vociferously applauded. The committee on arrangements, consisting of Messrs. H. C. Kersey, Jerry Folger, John P. IUnnlgan, L. p. McCormick and Tim Harrington, will shortly Issue invitations for the next entertainment, which will take place in three weeks. Caught In n Belt. Yesterday morning, while sprinkling rosin upon a tight shifting belt operating underneath a large wood-planer, Daniel D. Slider, an employe at the Big Four shops. Brightwood, bad his hand caught between the belt and a pulley. Being unable to free his hand, he was drawn under the machine until his arm struck the frame surrounding the upper half of the pulley, which prevented the member from being drawn in further. The workmen who responded to his cries for help were obliged to cut the belt before they could extricate him. Claims of Mitchell's Relatives. It Is claimed by the relatives of Mitchell, the man whose sister had some trouble with James M. Manker, an attorney, several days ago, that Manker still owes Mitchell $13 of the amount which the attorney collected. They say that the young woman did not slap Manker till he made a demonstration to eject her from his office. Mitchell was sent to the workhouse for carrying concealed weapons, and not for drunkenness. Adopted by the l S. Xavy. William H. English's new book, "The Conquest of the Country Northwest of the River Ohio," has been placed on the list for libraries of United States vessels, according to a letter received yesterday by the Bowen-Merrlll Company from F.

PLATFORM GAVE WAY

iiexry iu:nnns killed axd xzaVIER STREII1LIXO DADLY HURT. Two Other Carpenters Have n. Narrow Escape nt Xew Eastman, Sclelcher & Lee Dnlldtng. tA bad accident occurred at the new Eastman, Schleicher & Lee building on Washington street about 4:30 yesterday affernoon. as a result of which Henry Beherens was fatally hurt and Xiavler Strelbling received Injuries from which he may die. Two other carpenters, Albert Simmonson and Albert Bauman, were working with them on a swinging platform, suspended to an iron girder forty feet above the Joists of the first floor. The platform was hanging on four large iron hooks, one of which gave way, and the heavy timbers fell with a crash. Simmonson and Bauman managed to secure hold of timbers projecting from the third floor and saved themselves. They were not hurt. Beherens and Strelbling fell on several heavy Joists, the former striking on the flat of his back. He wa3 picked up In a dying condition and conveyed to the City Hospital, where he breathed his last at 6:05. The timber which his head struck caused a concussion of tho brain, which is thought to have been the immediate cause of death. In addition, his leg was fractured and his spine badly injured. Beherens is a married man, twenty-eight years of age, and lived with his wife and two children at 123 Drllla avenue. Mrs. Beherens was pnable to reach her husband before his death. Later in the evening his brot'ier had the body removed to an undertaking establishment. Besides a fractured leg, it is thought Strelbling is injured internally. He was unconscious when first picked up, but afterwards revived sufficiently to direct that he be taken to the home of his sister, 73 Oriole street, where he boards. He is single. Last night he was reported as being in a very critical condition, but hopes for his recovery are entertained. Work on the new building has progressed to the fourth floor, and the four carpenters were engaged In bolting wooden casing to the iron girders. A large force of workmen employed by the contractor, William Kraas, were at work at the time and rushed to the assistance of the Injured men. The other workmen ' were badly demoralized, and It was some time before work was resumed. No one seemed to know who was to blame for the accident, it seems the platform had been suspended from other girders, and It was considered safe, the same men having used It before. Bauman and Simmonson consider themselves extremely fortunate, and the other workmen say It Is remarkable they were not also dashed to death on the timbers below. MR. BEVERIDGE AT CLOVER CLUR Describes Some of the Ronstiner of the Distinguished Guests. Albert J. Beveridge returned last night from the Clover Club dinner at Philadelphia. When asked for an account of the dinner he said that it was almost impossible to give one. "That club," said Mr. Beveridge, "is the most unique organization In the world, and as Colonel McClure, of the Philadelphia Times, who presided, remarked, of an International reputation. -It is made up of several brilliant newspaper men, railroad officials, capitalists, lawyers and doctors, all constituting the rarest collection of wit and good-fellowship you ever" heard of. In fact, you will never know what good-fellowship means In all its fullness until you have been at the Clover Club. The club itself meets every month, but the dinner which I attended was the celebration of the club's fourteenth anniversary. The guests were Nelson A. Miles, commander of the United States army; Senator Jos. B. Hawley, of Connecticut; Senator Stephen B. Elklns, of West Virginia; SdtlatOr Shoup, of Idaho; Senator Mitchell.' of Oregon: the venerable Congressman Galusha A. Grow; ' General Grosvenor, of Ohio:' Gen. Joe Wheeler, of Georgia; Henry Watterson, Wilton Lackaye, the famous stage Svengali of the play "Trilby," and Alexis Glslko, the young Russian who has made such a sensation as Zozo in tho same play, and other guests whose names I do not now recall. The dinners which this club gives are said to be among the most sumptuous Spreads given anywhere in the world, and one can well believe that that Is true. It is hard to imagine anything more sumptuous in the wat of eating and drinking than a Clover Clul dinner. They do not wait for the Fpeaklng until the dinner Is over. It commences during ihe dinner itself. "What about the Interruptions of speakers?" - . 4 interruptions! You never heard any interruptions like them so quick, sd witty, so daring, so much to the point. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, of the United States army, was the first speaker. As soon as he arose the whole club burst into a song, "Three cheers for the red, white and blue." The club Immensely respects this really great soldier and interrupted him comparatively little, though he only spoke for a minute or two. I remember that he said that he considered It one of the greatest honors of his life to be invited to that club, whereupon a dozen members at once shouted out "Right you are!" When Senator Elklns rose the fun besan In earnest, with such interruptions as "How did you get to the Senate?" "Tell us- how you fixed things up in West Virginia."'- "Do Camden's shoes fit you," and so on.' ta all of which the Senator good humoredly smiled and answered with iulck retort. lie tried to tell a story. He hardly finished before twenty voices struck up a song, "Heard a chestnut, heard a chestnut Just now. Just now heard a chestnut, heard a chestnut just now." That noble old man. Congressman Galusha A. Grow, In (his brief response; 'Innocently . made a remark that he thought Sunday newspapers ought to print things without Interest, things that had nothing in them, so that their readers could go to church on Sunday. Whereupon a member gravely rose ami earnestly Insisted that Congresman Grow's suggestion was excellent, and that next Sunday the Philadelphia papers should print Mr. Grow's remarks, as they answered that requirement." Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, a very handsome and dignified man, was introduced in a great way by Colonel McClure. He had not got on his feet until a member Inquired whether that was Peffer, of Kansas. Being informed that It was Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, several members earnestly insisted that It must be Peffer. The point to that was that Senator Mitchell has full whiskers. The 8enator was Interrupted with such remarks as "Give the young man a chance," and so forth. He did not attempt to retort, end shortly after sat down. If I remember correctly, it was when Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, was trying to speak, some man, I think was Charles Brooks, a criminal lawyer, of New York, moved that the Senator be permitted to print his remarks. Senator Hawley is greatly liked by them. General Grosvenor, of Ohio, was constantly Interrupted, but retorted with keen wit and succeeded. Congressman Cannon, if Illinois, made a serious speech. Colonel McClure made a speech which did not please Mr. Cannon, and he esked the chair to be allowed to reply. The 'brilliant Magargie, of the Philadelphia Times, was in the chair, and after seme discussion agreed to permit Congressman Cannon to reply if he would "conilne his remarks to thirty seconds in length." This is not a fair sample of the Interruptions and retorts. They are all done under the Inspiration of the moment and they fly so thick, so quick and are so audacious and brilliant that it is impossible to remember them. But no wonder Max O'Rell saw fit to devote an entire chapter to the Clover Club in his book on America." "How did you get along?" "I was In the hopper with the rest One thing I might mention now because It is of interest to Indianapolis And Indiana. When I referred to President Harrison she club cheered with enthusiasm. Harrison is a favorite with them. If that club codd name the next President, I think it would be Benjamin Harrison." The Philadelphia Press says of Mr. Beveridge's appearance: "For the State of Indiana Mr. Albert J. Beveridge made an able speech. He is young, but his quick wit and splendid assurance carried him through a fusillade of wit." High Grade Hats.

The new features in Mr. Chambers's cigar store will be. an elegant billiard hall on the ground floor anl in the basement a large and commodious double bowling alley. The cigar department occupies about onethird of the ground floor, in the front part of the room. The billiard hall will occupy the balance of the room. The hall will be fitted with the finest of BrunswlckBalke's pool and billiard tables.
