SHOT IN A DRUNKEN BBAWL

, Martin Moran, a Saloon-Keeper, Mortally YouDds John Kain. Two Ballets Fired Into Ills Bodj Feenllar Midnight Reconciliation Between the Djing 3Ian and His filajer. A fatal sboot!iiK aflray occurred last "night, about 6 o'clock, in the "Th Bank," . a saloon run by Martin Moran, at the northTreat corner of Illinois and Maryland streets. Moran himself was the user of the revolver, and John Cam, a drummer for the wholesale liquor house of Woodford &. Co., was tne victim. Two shots were fired, ono striking in the back to the left of the meridian line, ranging from in point eight inches from tho base of th spine inward and toward tho right side. This is the fatal wound. The other shot entered the left thih in front, and of itself is not dangerons. merely ploughing its way through the moscles of the leg. The fatal wound, it is said, was ruade by the first shot. This caused Cain to whirl, thus presenting a front position. The downward range of this second ball shows that Moran must have been close upon Cain at the time. The shots did not causa Cain to fall. - lie ; turned after the second bullet struck him and went out of the Maryland-street door. Tho report of the pistol having reached , Thomas Powers, of Powers & Blackwell, Zlartin Uoran. fauerftl directors, a short distance snatb, caused him to rush to the corner. He found Cain leaning against the house apparently iu great weakness and pain. What's the matter. John!' said Mr. Powers, wno recognized Cain as an acquaintance. - . "My Hod, Tom, I'm shot." was the reply. "Where are you hit!" again asked Mr. Powers. "Oh." was th answer with a groan, "my back hurts me." THE WOUND FATAL. Mr. Powers led the -wounded man to Short's drag-store, across the street, and sent for his owe ambulance, in which Kain was removed to St. Vincent's Hospital. Dr. linnnan was called to jjive him attention. &nd Dr. Karp was called in as advisory counsel. Tho examination of the wounds 'resulted in the conclusion that death is inevitable. Dr. lirennan remained with tho patient the most of' the night, lio was too much atlected by the shock to be rational, although he was conscious. He could tell no connected story of the origin and incidents of the atl'ray. His employers, Messrs. Woodford and Pullman, were also at his bedside a part of the night. The origin of the fatal quarrel is confuted in a mass of rumors. Besides the principals, only the bartender and one or, two bar-room loafers were present, and the. Mips of these witnesses have been sealed. Prom one toarce it was learned that Kain went into the saloon to ask Moran whyho never bought goods of his (Cain's) employrr. Moran is said to have answered, 1 will buy ray whisky where 1 dn pleap." ajhese words led to a quarrel, in whieh blows were soon exchanged. Kain, beinga large, tinely-built man, easily bestt-d the saloon-keeper, who attempted to use a beer-mallet, and then rushed behind the bar for his revolver. Seeing Moran's heedless, towering rage, Cain started to walk out of the saloon. Then it was, as he was near the scieen doors, that the first shot struck him. Turning about, he received the second, and then went out the side way. CAME TO OFFER TEACE. Another story, and this comes from a source that makes it highly probable, is this: Moran and Cain have known each other intimately for many years. They were friends up to several months ago, when some differences alienated them, and 'they have been as strangers since. Cain disliked the feeling of enmity, it is said, and yesterday told some of his friends he was going to make up with Moran. He said he would go to see him, and 'Oiler his hand, with the wish to let by-gones begone forever. Cain spent yesterday mingling among the saloonkeepers of the city, to whom, as salesman for Woodfcrd fc Co., he sold liquor, and with whom he found it to his advantage to be convivial. He entered Moran's place, according to the story, and said: "Mart, here's my hand, let us be friends. There's no uso of us quarreling any longer. Let's forget the past." "Not by a h if of a siaht," was Moran's repl3 and, with the same display f temper, be pulled off his coat for a right. It was then a question of Cain defending himself, and this he did successfully with his l.sts. In the fight be received some scratches about the face And a blow upon the head, presumably with a beer-mallet. .A blow from Cainjknocked Moran sprawling npon the tloor, and. as he fell, bis head struck a sharp corner of the bar or wall and cut a V-shaped wound in the scalp, not very large, but deep. It is said by some that the blow on Kain's bead with the mallet was given by the bartender. John Lyon, when his employer was .being worsted. This, however, is without substantiation. When Moran arose he . rushed behind the bar for his revolver. It was then that Cain attempted to leave the saloon, thus presenting his back to his enemy. Alter Moran's arrest, br patrolman Martin Hyland, his head was dressed by Dr. .JIarp. in tho police station surgery. His face was much bruised and scratched, and his shirt front was a inane of blood. He wan in an intoxicated condition, and was evidently in an ugly mood when Kain en'tered his saloon. He is said to be of a friendly disposition when sober, but very quick to take otlense when drinking. He was charged with assault' and battery with intent to kill. He was not locked up, bnt was allowed the unnsual privilege of sitting in tho oiilco tinder the eye of tho tnrnkey. When approached by a Journal reporter for a statement he gratify replied that he had nothing to say. John Kcnrdon, a young nttorney, . wan with him and had advised him to take this course. He refused all importuuities to tell his story. At midnight Dr. Drennan informed Kain that he must die. His abdomen had begun to swell, confirming tho first nrognois as to the result. The bullet, it was found, bad pierced the kidneys and was causing inflammation. All cliort to locate the ball by the nrole was unavailing, and was 'abandoned. ' ASKED TO SEn HIS SLAYER. When Cain learned hiscondition he asked to see Moran, and as Dr. Urennan was on bis way home, he stopped at the stationhouso and informed Moran of the dying man's wish. Moran was quite willing to meet his victim, and calling a carriage he was driven to the hospital in company with an officer. About 11 o'clock John Long and Martin Hyland. in company with Moran. walked down to the hospital, where they found Cain asleep nnder the inlltunco of drnxa. Jfe looked well. lr. Long said, and wheo ' awakened seemed drowsy, but took Moran by tb handandtaidhe wiabed him good luck and hoped be (Moran) wou'd get out of it all right Moran atked him how he felt. if in ranch pain, and Cain shook bis head in the negative.

Mr. Long says be didn't seem disposed to talk much to auybodv. ' The two men were together perhaps ten minutes, when they bade each othor good night, and Moran was brought back to the station-house and locked up. TI1K Mt'KDERF.D MAN. Cain was a man of about forty years of age, and unmarried. He has no relatives in this country, as far as is known, but has a sister living in Ireland. He himself is a native of Ireland, but has been in America for twenty years. He has been in the liquor bnsme s, in tho capacity of traveling salesman, for a number of years, being employed by Monte & Carroll previous to engaging with Woodford t Co. He once owned a saloon on West Washington street, opposite tho State-house. J n personal habits Cain is said to have been sober and industrious. He and Dr. lirennan are warm personal friends. His living rooms, for thirteen years, have been In the building occupied by Kanch, the cigar manufacturer, at 82li W est Washington street. In speaking of him last night Mr. Kauch said: T have known John Cain for many years, and 1 have never known him to be drunk, or to engage in quarrels and bioils. He is a gentleman, and stands weli y ith all who know him. His employers are his personal friends, and be was a guest every tiundar at the bouse of Mr. l'allman, oue of tho firm, on North Tennessee street. He was a lirst-clasrt salesman. I am deeply surprised to lind him in this trouble." Will Pantzer. of the Hates Honso drug store, had a room in the same building for four years, and gives the same testimony as to Cain's bearing.

A STRIKE. LOOKS PBOBABLE Street-Car Employes Say They Will IlaTe the Badges or Declare War. While on the Other Hand President Frenzel Defends II U Order Matter Taken Up at the Monthly Meeting Last Night. The regular monthly all-day meeting of the Brotherhood of Drivers, Motormen and Conductors occurred yesterday in tho Griffith Block.. The attendance was rather larger than usual, owing to the recent order curtailing the privilege of riding free on the cars and also to the fact that the timo for the annual election of officers was at hand. The consideration of the order was taken up last night, and disclosed but one sentiment among the men. It is held obnoxious both in practice and intent, and the meeting agreed as a unit to oppose it A resolution to demand that it be rescinded was adopted, after much earnest oratory, without f a dissenting vote. Following the laws of the American Federation of Labor.the brotherhood must first appoint a committee to confer with President Frenzel before ordering a stritee. While the proceedings last night were kept as far as possible from the prose, it is certain a conference was ordered. A strike in the alternative of refusal. "We feel that tho order is an imposition," said one of the brotherhood, "and we mean to oppose it. The badges were given us by Mr. baffer without our asking, and there Is no reason why we should be treated as Mr. Frcnel is trying to do. The badges will either be returned to us or there will be a strike. There is no division of senti-. ment among us employes, whether union or non-union. When one goes all will go, and not a ear will move." "The more we think about it the madder it makes us," said another of the brotherhood. "It is a email pieco of business with the company, and Imposes a hardship npon us. as well as a kiud of insult to our manhood." - "Men in the brotherhood." said still another, "are talking strike who never talked that way before. We want that order rescinded and the badges returned." "We had to make the order." said President Frenzel last night, "because the bndge system bad been so generally abused. The men are now given checks for all the free riding they are entitled to that is. in coming to and going from workwhenever riding cu the company's business. That was all the badges were intended for originally." "Does the order contemplate tho discharge of the men if the checks are used at any other time than just before they aro due at the barns and just after they are ouT' "Ves, that la the only way to stop tho nbnee. I have for months been trying to devise some means of properly controlling the free-ride privileges. The constant riding up and down of employes freauently works hardship to passengers, or rather to would-be passengers who aro compelled to wait because a car is filled to its utmost. This subject was mentioned incidentally in my conferenco with the brotherhood committee last September, and they admitted that the system was much abused. Why, there were about nine hundred badges out and we have about ffive hundred employes." it is probable an all-night meeting will be held to-night to give the situation further consideration. Unless a settlement is erlected to-day a strike is not improbable to-morrow. The new officers elocted are as follows: President. Martin Dngan; vice-nresident, Ous Batterel; financial secretary, C. Wagoner: recording secretar3, Joseph Arnold; treasurer, John Carlie: guardian. M. Hitt. CITY SEWS NOTES. The funeral of Mrs. O. A. Smith, wife of tho Presbyterian minister at Fvansville, was held at Crawfordsville yestertay. Mrs. Amanda Davis, of Crawfordsville, entered suit for a divorco from her husband, James Davis, and asks $40,000 alimony. The managers of the Home for Friendless Colored Children will meet this afternoon at the residence of William L. l'yle, 4'J- College avenue. Building permits were yesterday issued to tbo following persons: J. Hum, repairs, 23 Nebraska street, S100; Edward Van Diver, cottage. North street, $750; Mary Roberts, repairs. 14 Morris street, 100. A careless bicyclist ran into H. D. Vories, Superintendent of Pnblic Instruction, on Tennessee street. Sunday, and both went tumbling in tho gutter. Mr. Vories carries a very ugly looking left ejo inconsequence. Superintendent of County Schools Flick yesterday moved into the new room assigned him by the commissioners. It was formerly occupied as the county library. Mr. Flick begins his new term next month. John Orrin. alias John C. Ellis, who is supposed to be the horso-tMef wanted in Danville, will be taken there to-day by oflicers from that point. He consented yesterday to hand over the ?C5 found on his person, and attached by Theodore Brown, without resistance, and the money was delivered to Brown. His attorney was Jesse Hamrick. Brown was out 75. mouer paid for the vehicle, and thus reimburses himself to some extent. Itobbed the When. John Ferriter, who was arrested yesterterday morning by patrolmen Ascn and Fickle as a loiterer, is now charged with grand larceny. His home, on Concordia street, was raided during the night and nine dozen silk handkerchiefs were found. They were identitied as the property of the When store, from which they were stolen Thursday night. Louis Schafer and Albert Long were also arrested in connection with tbo case, and are charged with associating with thieves. The case was continued until Saturday in Polico Court. Captain Dawson succeeded yesterday in finding several places where Ferriter and bis gang bad sold several of the handkerchiefs. Tneae were all recovered. The evideuce agf.inst Ferriter seems to lack nothing to secure conviction, the credit for which o duo Captain Dawson and the patrolmen r.i?nd above. Another member of the tl'oTish crowd is expected soon to bo behind the bars. Xtro Jiumirrtl Was the lily number of teachers taken caro of at tbeGiand Hotel lutt week. This hotel always receives the crowds, and is generally as full up to their capacity an to comfortably attend to tho wants of their guests.

TDE TOSS PURCHASE "GOES"

Monon Will Not Build a Viadnct, bnt Its Tracks Will Be Tunneled Twice. Board Will Meet Again To-Night to Close Up the Deal Mr. Beville's Claim Annual Meeting of the Delegate Bodj. The State Board of Agriculture met at the State-house yesterday afternoon to settle tho question of the new fair-ground site. No business of importance was transacted in the afternoon, as attorney John M. But ler. the counsel of the board, was not ready to present the proper contracts. Tho minutes of the last few meetings which were held at the beginning of the holiday season, were read by Secretary, Bagley and approved. The following startling communication was presented and read: Jan. 4, 1892. State Boar dot Agriculture: Gentlemen It Is mr candid opinion that It was through my effort to purchase the btate fair grounds that you were enabled to realize Slo.OOO to $ 20,000 more for this tract of land than you otherwise would, as I was really the only bona tido competitor in the field against the parties who nought It. I herewith Inclose tho bills of expense inenrred for advertising, surveylne. etc., and I believe, under the circumstances, the board should reiniburo me to the extent of at least 1 per cent, of the selling price of said laud. The sum of the expenses is $163.30. i;e-pectftiUr, II. II. Beville. ' There was considerable merriment among the members of the board when the secretary had concluded the reading. That Mr. Beville should go to work and spend a couple of hundred dollars advertising the fair grounds, and then come back on the board for the expenses incurred, struck the members all in a heap. They say he had no authority from tho btate Board of Agriculture to spend money in booming the sale of the old grounds. Tho board promptly tabled tho communication. THOUGHT THEY HAD A CHANCE. Mr. Druley, the hustler-in-chief for the Miller farm, is as irrepressible as a little boy after a new pair of skates. "While there's life there's soap," said Mr. Druley, "and you can. say that we're still in it. The old grounds sold, bat the new one is not bought yet, by a big majority. We have not moved the Miller tract ot, but it still lies oyer on the White.tbinking may be tbo board might change its mind aud come back to it." Mr. Antrim, general boomerf or the Shinier farm, in collaboration with attorney Wishard, also had the audacity to announce to tho board that he was strictly in it. The Shinier farm is the only oue that didn't receive a vote on the 34th of December, when the preference for the Voss farm was expressed by formal ballot. Surprising to state, Mr. Wishard, the whcel-horso for the Shinier farm when the race was on, has balked in his tracks and did not appear. Before adjourning the board authorized Treasurer Johnson to take up and pay all the old exposition bonds of 1877-78 that would be presented for payment. An adjournment was then taken until 7:30. Tho members of the hoard saw fit to make las; night's session a "star-chamber" one, within fifteen minutes after the board convened. Mr. II. J. Frier, on behalf of the implement men, who have buildings already erected on the old fair grounds, requested that they be moved to thrb new site that shall be selected at tho board's expense. President Banks replied that this matter would have to be referred to the new board. The meeting then went into executive session, and remained with closed doors for over two hours. The secretary's ofiice soon became a loafing place for those who had come to look on and bear, and until 10 o'clock there were gathered little bunches of men who had no interest in the board's action further than to get fresh points for gossip. Out In the hall a dozen or more men had huddled about the side door of the board-room, and the glass front was dotted hero and there with Hat noses pressed against the pane, while the individuals back of them had their heads cocked sideways to enable them to hear the better. Counselor John M. Butler and his assistant, Alpbens H. Snow, consumed the entire time in reading the contracts that shall be signed by the owners of the land and others who have an interest in the location of the new fair grounds. THE VOSS FARM WILL 6 TICK. Mr. Snow was seen afterthe adjournment of the meeting and said that it was not advisable to tell all that was said and done, but as far as the proceedings could bo made pnblio ho would be willing to talk. "At the last meeting of tha board, Deo. 24, it was conditionally decided to accept the proposition of the Voss farm of 214 acres. The board has power to buy only eighty acres pending the action of the next Legislature. The land for which it expressed its preference is not the property ot J. O. Voss, as is commonly supposed, but is owned by his sister, Mrs. Theresa H. Smith, who made him simply her agent for the sale. Contracts were read between Mrs. Smith and the board for the transfer of the eighty acres lying between the tracks of the Louisville, hew Albany &. Chicago and the Lake Lrie & Western railroads and immediately north of Thirtieth street. The terms are $300 per acre, payable onethird in cash, one-third in one year and I he remaining one-third in two years. Mrs. Smith aerecs to sell the remaining 134 acres to Mr. Voss, which he agrees to lease to the board for seven years at a rental equal to G per cent, .per year on the land estimated at $800 an acre. This makes tho rental 318 an aero a year to Mr. Vos9. The propositions of the Monon and Lake Erie roads were more than lived up to. and the board has no fault to find on this score. The present management of the Monon made no proposition to build a viaduct over its track, and it refuses to do it. claiming that such proposal was from the old management. In lieu of this fact it is proposed to tunnel tbo Monon's track bank at two points, one on the north side of Fall creek and the other three-eightbsof a mile further north, where there is an eleven-foot fill. Agreements wero presented for the opening of College avenue, Alabama street. Thirty-second street and a street np tho north bank of Fall creek. No agreement was presented from any street-railway company for the construction of a line out to the grounds." Mr. Lockhart, a member of the board, made a speech of somo length, but all that is known of its substance was that he concluded it and the evening's session by moving an adjournment until to-night at 7&0, when the board should proceed to ratify the purchase of the Voss farm in executive session. This was done iu orer to give the parties interested in the transler ample time to make final arrangements and si tin all papers, and allow the property-holders the opportunity to see about the opening of streets named. Delegate Hoard Meeting. The annual meetingof the delegate board begins to-day. Tho morning will be occupied with routine business, but in the afternoon addresses will be made by President Banks. Governor Chase, Mayor Sullivan, Dr. J. L. Thompson nhd Hon. II. M. Lockhart. To-morrow the eight new members' will be elected and a number of addresses listened to. The State will probably be so redistricted so as to place Marion county in a district alone. Two names have been suggested, those of D. P. Erwin. one of the most enterprising business men in the city, and Hiram liowland, a progressive and intelligent farmer and horseman, residing just north of tbo city. The delegate board consists of the State board proper and the president, or other authorized delegate, of the county and district agricultural societies ot tho State. The annual report of each society must be presented and accepted before each society is recognized, or entitled to the connty licenso fund, ns provided by law. Only authorized delegates can vote in the election of members of the board, who are elected to serve two years. The official terms of eight members expiro eaeh year. Those who go out this year, and the districts they represent, are as follows: Kobert Mitchell. First; W. W. Berry. Second: J. Q. A. Seig. Third; W. B. htfward. Fourth; P. W. Dungan, Eighth; J. A. McClung. Fourteenth; V. A. Bankd. Fifteenth: It. M. Lockhart. Sixteenth. Those who hold over and the districts they represent ar: V. K. Officer. Fifth; W. W. Hamilton. Sixth. E. H. Feed. Seventh; J. M. ban key, Muth; Jasper ".

Davidson, Tenth; Lloyd 8. Jones. Eleventh; John M. Hoggs, Twelfth; and W. A. Maze, Thirteenth. Mr. Erwin Suggested as a Member. The regular monthly meeting of the governors of the Board of Trade took place last evening. A communication was received from the Nordyke-Marmon Company, suggesting that it would be a good thing for tho board to indorse and buy a book soon to be issued, setting forth the manufacturing industries of Indianapolis. Geo. W. Sloan spoke in favor of the project. George G. Tanner opposed it. saying that no one ever paid any attention to publications of that chararter. He thought an illuminated sheet sent to some suoh publication as the Iron Age or tho Contractor and Builder, to be folded m with such publications, would be much better. A. K. Baker 6aid the company with which he was connected bad taken the initial steps toward getting out a publication to advertise Indianapolis manufacturing industries iu a better way than it had ever been done before, and it was this enterprise to which the Nordyke-Marmon Com piny doubtless referred. His oompany, while they would like the indorsement of the Board of Trade, did not ask them to buy any. Mr. Conner moved the matter be referred to the printing coinxuitteo and the motion carried. The following communication was then read from John B. Conner, W. B. Holton and J. A. Wildman, a committee appointed .some- time ago: "The undereianed members of the committee appointed to consult with the State Board of Agriculture respecting the common interests represented by that board, and the city's interests relating thereto, as heretofore expressed by this board, beg to report that in view of the probable redisricting of the State at the annual meeting this week and the making of a district of Marion county, many members of tho State board have suggested that the Beard of Trade would do well to indicate some ono fully representative of the city's interests, whom the delegate board would donbtlesselect to membership in the management. In view of these friendly suggestions the committee recommend that such action betaken and while they would not seek to forestall the frue action of this board, take' the liberty of nominating its president, Mr. D. P. Erwin for that place." Mr. Conner moved that the recommendation therein contained bo adopted, and the motion prevailed. A communication was received from N. S. Bvram stating that his certificate of membership was lost and he desired that a new one be issued in its place. The matter was referred to the law committee, with instructions to notify the secretary of the proper course of procedure. The board then adjourned. ' F1EHLEIN GOT AWAY. Crazy Man Left with a Horse and Bcggy, and Now Both Are Gone. E. J. Fierkin-is again at large. His friend, Charles Klein, of this city, called for him at the station-house yesterday, to take him to the Union Station in a buggy to meet his wife. Mr. Klein first took him to his own homo,' where ho gave him a bath, clean clothes and then bad him shaved. They together droyo to the station, and found the train nulling In. Fierlein bad acted so rationally that Mr. Kloiu was thrown off his guard, and, after tying tho horse securely, left his companion in the carriage to look for Mrs. Fierltin. He was gone, he says, not more than three minutes, bnt when he returned with the lady her huabandl and the rig wero f;one. The latter had untied the horse aud eft. No one noticed him, and no information as to the direction taken could be gained. The facts v. ere reported to Superintendent Colbert, who detailed Sergeant Laporte, in the police-station buggy, to search the city. The rig driven oil by Fierlein belongs to tho Syndicate Brewing Company. It Is a double-seated carriage, drawn 'by a large iron-gray horse. The anxiety about the missing man is aggravated by the fact that his mind seemed more unbalanced when he woke np yesterday morning than it had been before. His. mood was boisterous, but not violent. His. time was spent in singing. Turnkey Long bad found it necessary to give him chloral to induce sleep. Patrolmen Scheigert and Wheeler found E. J. Fierlein last night, about Vi o'clock, on South Meridian street. The demented man says that he put the borso and carriage in tho same livery stable, but the location of the stable cannot be ascertained from him. He was not so noisy last night as be was tho night before. A THREATENING BLAZE. Cglj Fire in the1 Floor of Dr. II. It. Allen's Uandseme Residence. A still alarm last night, about 10 o'clock, took the fire department to- Dr. H. 11, Allen's house at the corner of Home avenue and Delaware street, one of the handsomest residences in the city. The joistsof the first floor had caught from the overheated furnace and wero charred through, and finally broke into a blaze. The department worked with the threatening tire for over an hour beforejit was extinguished. Tho floors had to' be chonped through in several places, and considerable damage was done to tbo draperies and decorations by the 6moke. A defective flue in the bouse of E. A. McCray, at No. 174 West Ohio street, caused on alarm from Box 4151 yesterday evening. The loss was small. .

A GREAT DAY FOR THE ELKS

Their Annual Minstrel Show Tacts the Ilonse aod Proves a Success. Some of the More Notable Features of the EntertainmentBanquet Given in Honor cf Grand fxaltcd Knler Ilaj. Yesterday was a big day in tho history of Indianapolis Llkdom. The occasion of their annual entertainment was magnified by the presence of Edwin B. Hay. grand exalted ruler of the order. At noon, following their usual custom, they gave a very creditable street parade, led by the Progress Bacd. In the evening English's Opera-house was full as a pet pig. as it always ij when the Elks Minstrels take the stage, and claim the honored privilege of cracking their original and adopted jokes, singing their latest songs, and carrying a general stock of trick and fancy work sufmi r. ficieutly localized to edify their friends for one evening of the year. The entertainment given last night was for tho beneiit of the order in this city, and as snch was a success, with no less than a ?1,200 houso to eay nothing of the lot and a keen appreciation shown by the andieuco for even the knottiest little joke on the programme. With such a willing and generous audience, aud a good Quantity of burnt cork aud vaseline, with that clever, original artist. "Pink" Hall on one end, "Bob" Downey on the other, and Will E. English as interlocutor the problem of success was easily solved, and from the very start the answer made plain. The literary and musical genius of the city contributed to the fund liberally. Prof. If. J5. Beissenherz composed an overture especially for the occasion, as was the xnusio of Prof. Barclay Walker, set to n recently published poem by James Whitcomb liiley, "In tho Heart of June." The programme was divided into two parts, and the exercises began at 8 o'clock, sharp, when the green cloth went np, revealing as black a sot of skins as ever tropical son shone upon. After the overture was renaered souks were sung by C. J. W. Parker, Willis Scudder and A. S. Cuatlield. all three of whom were encored. Bob Downey sang "Mississippi Boat Song," and the audience went into hysterics, bnt recovered in time to e&cape several ribroasters from tbo end men, and to reoeive Morns Meck's rendition of Mr. liiiey'a wonderful song. Pink" Hall OCT BSISSE"KEi?l brought np at this juncture with a song, "There's a Lock on the Chicken-coop Door." that glided along after the fashion of all good old mellow darky melodies, the chorus of which grew so wide, and worn, and shallow that the hou6e seemed to fall into it and dritt away. The class of jokes that rolled out of the bag during the evening was particularly complimentary to the tastes and instincts of their proponnders, compounders and 86elocters, as they wero delicate, re lined and yet the funniest things that have been carted through an evening this season. One of the features of the evening was the introduction of a detached regiment of Prof. (Jilm ore's band by Mr. English, whoso prehistoric instruments, medals and costumes broke gently through the most modest face, and left a smile as wide as a melou slice behind it. Edwin B. Hay. the grand exalted ruler of the Order of Elks for the United States, of Washington. D. C, was present, and the second part of the programme began with his short, but neat address. After being introduced by Mr. Joseph Fanning. Mr. Hay said he baa come to see his brother Elks and bo honored by being seen by them. Ho congratulated them ou the manner in which they had aoauitted themselves on the stage, and welt at some length ou the common prejudices usually entertained by the people against his unottending herd, whose fraternity was founded on charity, and whoeo watch-word was good-fellowship. The Indianapolis Banjo Club appeared and played a very good piece. This club has improved a great deal since last winter. Mrs. Leon O. Bailey appeared last night, tho first time before a large audience for a year past, in a contralto hoIo entitled "Hearest Thou," instead of "Dear Heart." FFOMl 7 fl 3V3 if r as shown on the programme. The song selected by Mrs. Bailey was, in fact, a test song, in which the possibilities of a pure contralto voice were vindicated. The dramatic force, volume and eflectwith which she sang it were startling and decisive, yet delicately sweet, and tho song before which less clever artists might have trembled, was, in detail, clesrly interpreted. In answer to several encores, Mrs. Bailoy ropeatod tbo last lines. Mrs. Medea Gallahne Wade sang a soprano solo. "In Old Madrid," with her usual success, and was encored. The Test of the programme was, in point of merit and freshness, a continuation of that reviewed, and ended with tho grand gymnastic and athletio exercises, nnder the rti recti on of Prof. H.

Elks, ro Grand Exalted Knler E. B. Haj of Washington, D. C, at the Dentson Hotel last night was a very sueceosfnrafTair. The banquet, which began shortly before 12 o'clock and lasted until after 1 oclock, was served in excellent style with the notable feature thatno wine was fcerved. Covers were laid for fifty guests. Exalted Ruler Leon O. Bailey extended the welcome of lodge No. V6 to the distinguished guest in well-chosen words. He paid the order in this city was pioad to honor the head of tho order in the United States, a roan whom any organization might be proud tJ bavo at its head. He wiohed to call attention to the rapid advancement that, had been made by lodge No. 13. There seemed to bo a determination on the part

of each member to each year build the order up and put it on a hicher plane. It was a mistake to think that the chief aim of the Order of Elks was conviviality; the members realized that they had a duty to perform to make better citizens of each other. He was riroud to say that the newspapers n their reports of the banquet could say that no wine was served. The current idea should be eliminated that the Order of Elks was made up of the bum element. Mr. Will E. English next responded to the toast, "The Birth of Indianapolis Lodge, No. 13." He said he was wholly unprepared, and would have to foist on his brothers a chestnut that he had given them at the last banquet. He then recalled the charter members, and spoke of the growth of the order, at the same timo paying Grand Exalted Knler Hay a high encomium. District Deputy Jay Voss responded to the toast. "The Order in Indiana," in which he recounted the growth of the order since its first organization in the State. After one or two more toasts Grand Exalted Kuler Hay responded to the toast, "The Grand Lode." Mr. Hay is a very entertaining talker, and his remarks were heartily enjoyed oy the assembled Elks. Taken all in all, the banquet was a lifting after-piece to the entertainment given at Enslish's Opera-house, and the programme was carried out without bother or bottle. DIED AWAY FROM U01IE. Sudden Demise of a Wealthy Farmer Pecnllar Delay in Shipping the Remains.

A SENSATION PROMISED. People Who Believe They Could Tell Something About the Alnrderof Locohra 3!arsh. Cj vcial to tbo Indianapolis Journal. Seymour, Ind., Jan. 4. The work ot pursuing the murderer black or whiteof Lncebra Marsh is being conducted in a moro systematic manner than on Friday and Saturday last. The police are very reticent about the subject and whatever clews they get bold of aro jealously guarded from the public They look wise and claim to be almost able to place their hands on tho guilty man, for it is practically assured now that there was but one, but will not indicate where they believe him to be hiding. It is thought by many that the man who shot Mr. Marsh lives right in Seymour, that he is white and as never thought of leaving the city. A sensational story may yet develop from the case, more startling than the tact of the murder. The widow, in an interview, declares she is wholly unable to identify the slayer of her husband. She awoke and saw the men fighting in the room, but was only half-awake before they were out. Then she heard the shot, but tho murderer was out of eight by the time she arrived on tho scene. A young man named Joseph Monroe was brought here as a suspect from tho vicinity of North Vernon lsst midnight, and held until this morning, when he was taken back on one of the early trains. A brother of James Shirley, the suspected negro who escaped from the mob on Friday, and another colored roan of North Vernon arrived, but Were not under arrest, aud their evidence against tho white man was not strong enough to justify his being held, although it was very damaging. Their testimony was a little dark against James Shirley. To Drown Trouble. New York ITcraid. When a man tries to drown trouble in drink thedevilalways supplies the troublo wijh life preservers.
