The advance sale for Hanlon's "New Surerba," at the Fark, next week, commences at the tox office of the theater this mornIns. XXX There is talk of Herbert Kelcey and Erne Shannon getting Israel Zangwill's new play, "The Mantle of Elijah." should It not be required for Viola Allen. XXX It Is claimed that all of the scenery to be used by E.j S. Wlllard. the eminent English actor, on! his forthcoming tour of the United States will be painted on this side cf the ocean. I . XXX "Tha Gay Gtlsette," the piece in which it has been scjld that May Yohe (Lady Frances Hope) la soon to appear in New Yo:k. Is from the pen of George Dance, who also wmte "The French Maid" and 'The Lady Slavey." XXX Anne Caverly, who Is to create the role of Quatre-Pattes, the repulsive old "fence" of "The Adventures of Francois," Henry E. Dlxey's naw starring play.

XXX Kate Uart, the popular contralto with Frank Daniels In "The Ameer," which comes to English's Opera House Saturday night of the current week, is said to be a cousin of the Countess of Fairfax, who has the reputation of being the most accomplished singer among the English nobility. XXX Herbert Beerbohm: Tree, the well-known English actor, authorizes the statement that some time ago he placed with Capt. R. Marshall, author of "His Excellency, the Governor" and "A Royal Family," a commission' to prepare a new play founded upon Honor de Balzac's celebrated novel. "Le Peau de Chagrin" (sometimes translated "The Wild Ass's Skin.") XXX The discovery has been made that Frank Denlthorne, who was advertised as Alberta Gallatin's leading man In "Sapho" Monday night, was replaced by Carl Ackerman. This is not the first time the Indianapolis theater-going public has been treated in nuch cavalier manner by managers of traveling companies claiming to belong to the "first grade." xxx The success of the two versions of "Nell Gwynn" on the London stage has revived Interest in the Alexander Dumas version of the same story, which was dramatized ome years ago by Felix Morris and Dore Davidson under the title of "A Royal Intrigue."

A NEW WATER CONTRACT

BOARD OF WORKS AND WATER COMPANY OFFICIALS CO.XFEIU There Will Probably lie Some Change in the Hute Chairman Roth Ileiit nntioa The Board of Public Works and representatlvts of the Indianapolis Water Company met In the Board of Works office yesterday afternoon to discuss the provisions of the water contract to be made between the city and water company for the next ten years. Nearly all of the afternoon the men studied charts placed on a long table, giving the water rates in other cities as compared with the rates In Indianapolis. It was shown that Indianapolis enjoys a much lower rate in comparison than is charged in other cities of about the same l.opulatlon. Chairman Sahm said the board and the water company had not agreed on the rates to be charged in Indianapolis, tut it is likely there will be a slight change to place the rates on a more equitable basis. Some time ago the Board of Works sent a communication to the water company asking that the rates for fire hydrants bo lowered and that the water be furnished free to the parks and bath house to be established in the city. The water company would not agree to this, but it Is very probable that the new contract will call for lower rates for the city use. Chairman Sahm was asked about the twenty-inch fire main to be placed in the business ' portion "of the city as recommended by Fire Chief Barrett. He said the Board of Works did not have the power to compel the water company to place the main In the city and nothing would be incorporated In the contract concerning it. It Is very likely that the contract will be ready for the signatures of the board and the water company officials either to-day or to-morrow. INVESTIGATION CONCLUDED. The Five Remaining Firehounes Visited ly the Committees. The investigation of the flrehouses and fire-fighting apparatus In the city was completed by the special Council committee and the committee of fire insurance agents yesterday afternoon. The last houses were inspected and the five companies visited showed that new hose was needed as badly a? anything else. After the final trip was concluded Fire Chief Barrett, who accompanied the committee on all of its trips, said that the city needed new hose, two or three new trucks and two new engines in addition to some of the houses being repaired. The committees yesterday afternoon first drove to the corner , of Ash and Twentyfourth streets to look over the site proposed for a new engine house. From there they visited the slxteens, corner of Ash and Sixteenth streets. The apparatus was reported to be in good condition, but new hose was needed and the house was badly In need of paint. No. 2 company was next visited on Hillside avenue. This Is the house that may be remodeled in order to place a rew truck company there. The company was found to be In good shape, but waa short of hose. The committees then went to the Brightwood company and everything was found to be in good condition, with the exception of the hose, and new hope Is badly needed. The twelves on Beville avenue was the next stopping p'ace. This house needs new hose and repainting. The proposed site for a new engine house at the corner of English avenue and Harlan street was then Inspected. No. 3 on Prospect street received the final attention of the investigation trip. The apparatus was found to be in fair condition, but the house needs repainting and a new supply of hose. , The Council committee will probably meet to-morrow evening to hear the suggestions of the chief of the fire alarm system, tho captains of the various companies and Fire Chief Barrett. The committee will make its recommendations from the information procured by Investigating the various companies and the reports to be made to the committee at the coming meetings. i ROTH HAS RESIGNED. He Severs His Connection Tritt the Board of Public Safety. There -will be a new member of the Board of Public Safety In a few days to fill the vacancy cauced by the resignation of Chairman diaries Roth. It is not known Just when Roth decided to send his resignation to Mayor Taggart, but the latter gave out yesterday that the chairman of the Board of Safety would resign. This is not altogether a surprise, for It has been thought for a long time that Roth was not giving entire satisfaction In the capacity of chairman of the board. Several weeks ago Roth was severely criticised for interfering with the arrest of a friend for violation of the vehicle license ordinance. It was thought at that time that the pressure brought to bear upon him by the criticism of his superiors would cause him to recign. It Is now claimed that he withheld his resignation until the criticism had subsided. His successor has not been appointed. Members of Committee Met. Four Republican members of the Council finance committee met last night and examined the estimates of the expenditures of the various city departments for 19CI. Nothing definite was decided upon, and the committee will meet again the latter part of the week to take up the question in order to make a report next Monday night. CATTLE AND HORSE SHOWS. Such Exhibits Will De Fenture of the State Fair. The number of show horses and cattle that have been entered for the State fair next week will, Secretary Charles Downing says, make the two parades of the animals more pretentious than heretofore. The two parades are to occur before the grand stand of the race course on Wednesday and Thursday. They will begin at 1 p. m. and at the same time the Indianapolis Military Band will give a concert. The parades, Mr. Downing says, are planned particularly for Indianapolis people, although they will afford entertainment for both country and city people, since the men and women of Indianapolis took unusual Interest in the horse show at tue stock yards earlier in the year. The horse and cattle parades will bring out several hundred animals. Among the horses will be French draft. Percheron. Clydesdales, English shires, Cleveland oays, hackneys. American. French and German coach animals, and a number of colts. All of them will participate In ring shows in which the premiums will be awarded, and among the requirements of the State Board of Agriculture is that each horse must be recorded, or elegible of record, in one of the recognized American associations. This assures a quality of horses in the parades that has not been equalled at any other horse how held at Indianapolis. The cattle in the paraae will bring. Mr. Downing says, the representatives of the best herds in Indiana. The Jerseys und Shorthorns will be especially prominent in number. There will also be Hereford. Galloways, red polls. Holsteins. Guernseys and Ayshires. The judge will begin tying prize ribbons on both horses and cattle on Tuesday and on Wednesday afternoon, when the animals will appear in the first parade, a good many of the winners may be distinguished by the ribbons they wear. All of the ribbons will have been awarded in time for the parade on Thursday, when spectators can ee the winners of first, second and third prizes in all classes. Mr. Martha Davla Arrested. Mrs. Martha Davis, who claims to reside neir West Liberty. Tipton county, was arrested yesterday morning in the

New York store, and charged with shoplifting. She was Feen by employes to take a spoon from the refreshment counter and conceal It In her handkerchief. On the way to police headquarters several articles dropped from her parasol, and In an underskirt were found still more supposed plunder. She protested Innocence, but was locked up. The employes of the store have seen her a number of times and her actions always attracted their attention. FOR STORM SUFFERERS.

3Ieases "Will lie Sent Free An Endless Chain Proposed. Mayor Taggart was notified, yesterday, by Superintendent Butler, of the Western Union Telegraph Company, that that company would send, free of charge, all messages pertaining to the collection of funds for the relief of Texas storm sufferers. The Postal Telegraph Company has made the same concessions. The mayor also received a letter from E. W. Klein, of Detroit, which is one of the first sent out by the authorities of Detroit to form an endless chain for the relief of the Texas sufferers. Each contributor is asked to send 25 cents to Mr. Klein, the authorized treasurer, and to mail three letters to friends who will contribute a like amount. Will Transfer Money Orders.

Annie Hartley, Who Was Shot by a Man Lnst April, Drought Here from Terre llante An operation performed yesterday morning at the City Hospital would, had it been previously announced, no doubt have attracted the attention of a large number of city physicians. The case was a rare one, and was for the purpose of possibly saving the life of Annie Hartley, a fifteen-year-old girl living near Terre Haute, and restoring, if possible, action to her lower limbs. The girl was shot on the public highway near Terre Haute April 23 by Georgo Cowell, sixty years of age, who was enamored of the girl and had been refused by her and denied by her parents permission to marry her. A few days before, Cowell, who had worked on the Hartley farm for several years, was discharged because of a disagreement over wages. He met the girl on the highway while she was talking with neighbors, and walked up to her, placed his arms about her neck and began shoot ing. One bullet entered the arm, another the head, another the body, lodging in the spinal column and partially severing the spinal cord. The Injury to the eplnal cord caused com plete paralysis of the portion of her body below. the wound. Drs. Stunkard and Cra do. who happened to pass, attended her, and at the time said she could not possibly live. However,, she continued living, and in a few days showed some improvement. though never regaining the use of her lower limbs. Dr. Stunkard continued treating her, and by means of the X-ray located the bullet In the spinal column. After consultation with other physicians It was decided that a removal of the bullet was the only hope for the girl, who had begun showing signs of failing. The mother consented finally to the operation, which was said might at the time prove fatal, and several days ago the girl was brought here and taken to the City Hospital. The operation yesterday was performed by Dr. J. H. Oliver, of this city, who was assisted by Dr. Stunkard. The bullet was found and removed.-'-The examination of the spinal column showed the cord had been cut almost through. The girl withstood the operation well, and hopes are entertained for her recovery, though it is not thought the cord will unite sufficiently to restore full action to the now useless limbs. The mother is In the city and anx iously waiting upon her daughter. Cowell, who attempted to shoot a young man whom he met on the road, and then ran from the sheriff and held that officer and a large number of deputies at bay In the woods until persuaded by his son to throw down the rifle he had procured. Is still in Jail awaiting trial. WILLIAM J. COLLEY DEAD. He Was an Early Settler of the County John Cook's Death. William J.

RACE RIOTS AT HURON

NEGROES TRY TO TAKE THE TOWN AND ARE DRIVEN OUT. Sheriff Will Tiot Interfere Woman Killed Near Martinsville Fatal Runaway Occurs at Muncle Sf eclal to the Indianapolis Journal. MITCHELL, Ind., Sept. 11. A race war is on between the blacks and whites at Huron, twelve miles west of here. The new work on the B. & 0.:S. W. Railroad is being done by Imported negro laborers of the most disreputable class. King &'Scruggs's camps are situated a short distance from Huron, and, yesterday being pay day with the negroes, they went fnto the village, as usual, and proceeded to "take the town." A restaurant operated by negroes, and located in the most respectable part of the town, was a terror to the people, and the climax came last night when the negro crap shooters, having im bibed freely all day, exchanged a volley of shots and terrorized the community. About fifty of the citizens hurriedy armed themselves and without masks proceeded to the restaurant and then to the saloons and chased every negro out of town. The negroes were greatly Incensed, and word reached Huron to-day that the blacks would return to-night and burn the town. The citizens of Huron have been scouring the country to-day securing all the shotguns available, and every boy old enough to handle a gun has been supplied. If the blacks carry out their threats and attempt to return there will be bloodshed, as the whites are thoroughly aroused. Sheriff Refused to Interfere. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BEDFORD. Ind., Sept. 11. Judge Martin received a message this afternoon from City Marshal Mort Cloy, of Huron, asking that Sheriff Dobbins be, sent there immediately with a posse, to aid in quelling a riot which was In progress between a number of colored men and whites of that vicinity. All that can. be learned at this hour is that a number bf negroes had been arrested and locked up, and their fellowlaborers had undertaken to release thera, when the marshal was assisted by his friends and other citizens. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company has had several hundred negroes at work along its line near that point for a number of months rebuilding and improving the road bed. They are from every State in the South and a tough crowd to deal with, especially on pay days and until after they dispose of their wages, which they do by "shooting craps," playing cards and drinking. There have been a number of serious affrays in that vicinity during the past year and several negroes have been killed and a number badly wounded. When the officers went to make arrests the perpetrators had flown, no one knew whither, as the contractors Invariably gave money to men Involved in trouble and hurried them away to avoid attendance at court for trial and thus delaying the work. Sheriff Dobbins has refused to go to the scene of the trouble, but will await further developments. The message stated that the negroes were shooting into houses of the whites and at the men, women and children whenever they could be seen. s PROBABLY FATALLY INJIIIED.
