IT WANTS ITS MONEY

Typographical Union Sacs the Directors of the Handier Bank. Allegations of Fraud on Their PartController Levies a 100-Per-Cent Assessment oil Stock. Suit was yesterday filed by W. V. Rooker, attorney for William O. Prescott and Abner G. Wines, against Theodore P. Haughey. Charles F. Meyer. It. Tt. F. reirce, Harvey Sattenvhite and Schuyler Colfax, directors of the Indianapolis National Bank, to recover $35,000, alleged to have been lost to the plaintiffs by the frauds of the defendants. The complaint reviews the facts in connection with the failure of the bank, which have already been made public, and seeks to recover the amount on deposit with the bank to the credit of the plaintiffs, alleging that they were Induced to make the deposit by the false statements of the defendants as to the condition of the bank. On Jan. Z, 1 the plaintiffs, relying upon the truthfulness of the statements made by the bank, deposited with it in. notes and bills, as cash Items, the sum of 533,000, and, at the time of its suspension, had on deposit with the bank the sura of $33,035.63. They allege that during the months of June and July they purchased of the bank nineteen bills of exchange drawn upon the Third National Dank of New York for a consideration of $7)C(X, all of which were returned,- dishonored, on account of the suspension of the bank, and thirteen of the number with charges for protest. The plaintiffs charge that each of the defendants had, or, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, colild have had. knowledKe of the true condition of the bank, and that in making and publishing its statements it Intended to deceive the public generally and the plaintiffs. The complaint specifies certain acts of fraud on the part of Haughey In wrongfully obtaining the proxies of stockholders and voting them to continue himself and co-defendants in office, and in usurping the functions of the cashier in order to obtain control of the items of loans, which power he made use of to loan money to irresponsible persons. It also charges fraud in the representation that thecapital stock of the bank was paid up, when, as a matter of ; fact, there was a large portion of it not paid up. The plaintiffs ask that they be( Kiven judgment against the directors of the bank for the amount on deposit to the plaintiffs' credit at the time of the suspension.

Work of the Second I)avs Sessions of Their State Convention. Teaterday morning the usual routine of chapel exercises at Butler was varied by the presence of about fifty young women from the different colleges of Indiana. Miss Anes mil, the general secretary of the Y. W. C. A., of Toledo, O., was introduced to the students and read the morning's chapter from the Bible, after which M&a. Silver, offered prayer. Miss Elizabeth Wilson, international secretary, of Chicago, made a short but interesting address upon the extant of the association's work and its aim. The delegates then adjourned to the Downey-avenue Church for the Iifth regular esslon of he convention. The mcrning cervices were opened by a service of song, after which Miss Hill talkrd In her characteristically Interesting and animated style, Inciting the girls to more earnest and faithful endeavor. Miss Elizabeth Wilson followed with a short sketch of the history of the association. Besides having organizations in all the United States except NewHampshire. Delaware, Florida. Nevada. Idaho and Wyoming, the association also has organized work in several cities of Canada. The first State convention of the Y. W. C. A. was held ten years ago in Michigan. In the year" Pol city work was flrst established. Is2 was the year of State work, nnd 1S& one e. ecially of International work. Th association has held one International convention, two congresses and two summr schools. Next year another summer school will be started in the West. Mii-s Wilson then distributed copies of the Evangel, the V. W. C. A. paper, to all present, urging a larger interest and contribution to tins paper. After an intermission for song Mr. Hlldreth, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., of Indianapolis, addressed the convention on the subiect of Finance." Hfs talk was based on thj ninth chapter of Second Corinthians, and earnestly recommended a. cheerful and practical state of mind in giving. He spoke of the Judalstlc Idea of glv-, lutf a tenth to the Iurd, but impressed tha

greater responsibility of the people of the present time to give for the Lord's work. A beautiful song service followed, when all the young girls knelt and sang softly the consecration hymn. Greetings were then read from Mrs. Martin. State secretary of Illinois. In behalf of the young women of her State; Mis3 Silver, of Michigan, also brought greetings from the Michigan associations, and a telegram of greetings was read from the international committee. The report of the executive committee was read and accepted, and announcements for the afternoon sessions were given by Miss Hill, after which the convention adiourned. In the afternoon a college conference was held at the home of Mrs. F. R. Kautz. Informal talks were given by Misses Hill. Colvln. Taber. Shank and White. Miss Colvln discussed the weekly religious meeting, suggesting appropriate times for holding and methods for Inducing a good attendance. Miss Taber spoke of the missionary meeting and Miss Shank on business meetings. Miss White, of ' Earlham, suggested many things in regard to making the social life of the organization successful, after which there was an open discussion of the best manner of conducting this work in colleges. A city conference was held at 2:20 o'clock, at Indianapolis, at the First Baptist Church. Mrs. J. V. Farweli. of Chicago, read a paper on "City Association Work; How Conducted." Miss Silver, of Detroit, spoke of "The Way to Secure and Maintain an Efficient Board of Directors," and Miss Wilson, the last speaker of the afternoon, discussed "Financial Methods." Yesterday evening's session was held at the Downey-avenue Church, in Irvington. The address of the evening war made by Miss Elizabeth Wilson, of Chlci jo. Her subject was, "What Part Have Association Young Women in the Evangelization of the World?" This mornlne there will be a missionary prayer service at the church, at 8:30 a. m. At 10:30 Mr .Comfort, of Indianapolis, will deliver the morning sermon. A gospel meeting will be held ut 4 o'clock, under the leadership of Miss Silver. Farewell services will be held at 8 o'clock, when brief addresses will be made by Miss Sheridan and Miss Wilson.

WORK HERE AT HOME Francis Murphy's Idea of the Duties of the Missionary. He Also Has His Own Conception of Charity Another Crowded MeetingLast Night. The last of the series of Murphy meetings to be held In the old Central Christian Church was held in the building last night, and the series willclose with a grand final meeting at Tomllnson Hall to-night' The interest remained unabated, and the last was probably the best meeting of the series. Mr. Murphy, in his inimitable, happy manner, talked his gospel temperance of love to the congregation and scattered bits of wisdom interspersed with big bits of charity, right And left. The fundamental principle of the Murphy plan of caving men from drink is'to. teach them to bear to one another a love kindred to the divine love of the Savior for all men, and he freely chiaes those who do not manifest this love for their fellow-man. His doctrine i3 God's doctrine, and he implore! men to put more confidence in God and less in themselves. In the shadow of God Is protection. After the short prefactory remarks by the temperance apostle, E. P. Brown, editor of the Ram's Horn, was called upon to lead the congregation in prayer, and at the conclusion of the prayer Mr. Murphy again stepped to the front of the platform and spoke his words of love to the assemblage. The choir was called upon for a song and sang "Oh, What a Precious Name." Hardly had the choir ceased when Mr. Murphy was again addressing the congregation, along the line of the sentiment contained In the song. "His name," he said, "is the center , of this movement. It is His plan. It takes, con rage to follow this plan, real, geniune courage. So many of us would be saveu, Dut we nave a philosophy of our own and depend too much upon ouraelvea and not enough upon the Lord." Tnq speaker then turned his attention to the persons who are actively engaged in mission work, and recommended to them the field of gospel temperance as a grand field for their efforts. He said he couldn't understand why people had to go away to foreign lands to find objects for their mission work, why they gave $2,000,000 each year for foreign missions and so little for home missions. "I'm a home-mission man. For Jesu3 Christ's sake get interested in home missions. Go out and get God's children and bring them into Christ's church. Keep them out of the Jails and prisons. Whenever you see a bad man now don't say he Is beyond redemption and there is no hope for him. There is hope for him with God. You'll set up all night .worrying over a Chinaman and don't know what to do with him. I don't dislike a Chiuaman, but I'll never pass by an American child to help a Chinaman, not I. No, sir; I'll help the American every time. Then we have all of our organized charities; they are good, but you have to see the secretary and there is so much red tape about them. I'll do my, own charity." Mr. Murphy evidently has the true idea of charity, also, and does not consider that it means merely the giving of alms, but includes also the giving of love and encouragement to the weak. He said there were too many iron that couldn't be saved if we accepted the careless remarks of other men for It. He wanted this idea that a drinker couldn't be saved abandoned. So many people saying that there is no hope for a man makes the man believe it himself, and he becomes despondent. Then, in one of his eloquent appeals, eloquent for the depth of love which inspires them and the earnestness with which they are made, he implored Christians to stop this practice. "Let's quit this." he said. "Let's say I believe this man will keep the pledge he has taken. What if he has broken it once, or twice, or any number of times; let's help him to keep it a little longer the- next time. Be patient with him, I beseech you. It took George Washington sewn years of hardship, toil and patience to get this" country for us, and Cyrus W. Field"' was said to be insane when he broached the project of the Atlantic cable. Men can do something when they are determined. The day of impossibilities has passed. Oh, Lord, remove our doubts and fears; we've had too much of them." As he concluded Mr. Murphy turned to tho line of persons seated upon the platform and, addressing one of them, said: "How are you. I'm glad you aro here. It's time you were getting around." Then, turning to the congregation, he said, "Mr. Brown, editor of the Ram's Horn; God bless him." Mr. Brown spok? briefly and as pointedly as his sharp little paragraphs in the paper of which he is the editor. He said: "I was thinking as brother Murphy was talking how true it is that God helps the man who takes a determined stand. God can't do much for a man as long as he is on the devil's ground. Let him take a step forward, however, and get upon God's ground and see how quick something happens. That's the way it was with me, at least." "Y'es. me too." interrupted Mr. Murphy. Mr. Mcintosh, of Decatur, 111., was introduced, and said the most eloquent sermon he ever heard was when Mr. Murphy met him on the street and said to him. "Don't you know that God wants you." A gentleman from Connersvllle who signed the pledge last Saturday told the congregation how he had squandered 1200.000 in drink, and William Murphy afterwards told of the prayers of the man's mother for her son's salvation.

Board of Health Announces a Batch of Appointments. Two Democrats Anion? Tlienv City Lata jr ers Disappointed in 'ot Getting Their Money Yesterday. The new Board of Health, composed of doctors, and good ones at that, lost no time in organizing and determining Just what it wanted to do in the way of making appointments for the betterment of the department under It. The politician had no hand whatever in influencing the board. In keeping with the promises of Mr. Denny, to make his administration a nonpartisan one, two Democrats were selected by the board in its appointments, but they were not selected by the board because they were Democrats, but because they are capable and competent men for the positions. The board' met yesterday evening and named all the officers immediately connected with the department's office. Perry M. Barnard was chosen as clerk of the board to succeed William Itipley. The salary of the position is $1,000 a year. Mr. Barnard was in the street commissioner's department during Mr. Denny's former term of oflice. He was selected because he is a stenographer, typewriter and a bookkeeper a combination that is needed in the oflice. He is an excellent man for the place The board put all the applicants for the position to a test. Dr. Stlllson askel a number of them to write a letter which he dictated, and it was soon seen that s me fell below the standard which the bo..n wished to set for the position. Mr. Barnard came up to the qualifications better than the other candidates. H. T. Hudson, a Democrat, and formerly a State Senator, was appointed plumbing Inspector to succeed William Judd. Mr. Hudson was chosen on account of his peculiar fitness for the position, the board believing that his knowledge of sanitary plumbing would be of special value in the ollice if it is continued. The board has not yet discussed the matter of abolishing the oflice, but may give it future consideration. The salary attached to the oflice is 11,500 a year. William Judd, the incumbent, thinks he has the right to hold oflice for about a year and a half longer, under the provision of the plumbing ordinance, but as the ordinance is in direct conflict with the charter. Judd's claim has no merit. Fred Hergt, a butcher living at 831 East Washington street, was appointed meat inspector. He is paid $2.2T a day. Ed Duvall, Frank Mattlock and Joseph Hhephard were named as sanitary officers. Their pay is also $2.23 a day. Mattlock is a Democrat. John N. Hurty was selected as city chemist, to succeed Professor Benton. The chemist is only paid $600 a year. The members of the board made addresses to several of the new officers and told them that all the officers were appointed subject to removal at any time the board saw fit to dispense with their services. "We have made these appointments," said Dr. Hays, president of the board, "on account of the peculiar fitness of the men for the places they are to till. None of them were made on account of any political pulls.' We have taken to an independent plane and propose to keep our department on a strictly nonpartisan basis, with the best interests of the city and Its health constantly in view." "You did not ask the Mayor's advice in making these appointments?" "No, sir, we did not. The Mayor left them entirely to us. We desire, of course, to observe Mr. Denny's policy, and I believe we have acted entirely within that policy in making the appointments." The board has not considered the hospital and dispensary appointments, and will probably not consider them for some time. The appointments made yesterday go into effect on Nov. 1. , HAVE A SEAT SCIIFJMFJ. 'Pirate Grnbbnge 3Ien" "Who Dninp Refuse and Get Pay for Removing; It. Some of the North-side people are considerably exercised over the turn the disposition of garbage has taken in the last few days. The pirate garbage men, as the unauthorized collectors are called, collect with their old two-horse wagons half dozen barrels of refuse matter, Keeping the barrels covered with old rubber cloths, and as at the garbage crematory they refuse to take garbage of the "pirate" collectors they have resorted to another plan for disposing of it. On Thursday one of them started in at Seventh street, went up the alley between Pennsylvania and Meridian, and every other square dropped close to the premises of some property holder one of these barrels of garbage, dumping three In that manner, then driving to the next alley west and dumping the other three. He was hailed by a colored man who asked what he was doing, and he answered that they would not take his swill at the garbage plant, and so he took this way to get rid of it. Later there was a sequel to it. The next morning the same "pirate" drove through these alleys and went up to the houses behind whose premises he had dumped the garbage and informed the people that there was a barrel of garbage behind their premises, and that unless it was removed soon the Health Board would prosecute the property owners. One woman insisted that it was not garbage from their house, and he said that it made no difference; it was behind their premises, and it behooved the owner of the property or the renter of it to keep the premises free of all such tilth. He then offered to clean it up for a quarter, finally coming down to 13 cents, and rather than have the trouble he said was likely to befall them the 15 cents was paid and the garbage cleaned up. Thus the "pirate" garbage collector got pay twice, and possibly a half dozen times, for collecting the same barrel of garbage. The property holders on those streets are now posted on the matter, and the next time the "pirate" garbage man puts in an appearance he will be the fellow that is In trouble. COULD NOT GET THEIR 3IOXEY. -Street Laborers Compelled to Walt iv AVhlle. As the city's treasury is overdrawn $3,000 and the tax revenues are anticipated In the sum of about $25,000, Controller Trusler yesterday was compelled to refuse to issue warrants to the street gang that has been employed by the city for the last six or seven months. The men had all the way from three to six days' pay due thorn, most of them being entitled to pay for the broken week Just before the Board of Works ordered the force reduced. The crowd that came for their money yesterday were by no means as unfortunate as the men who are out of employment, for McGettlgran's men have been at work all summer getting $l.t5 a day, more than the contractors were paying mm for the same work. There was quite an exciting scene round the controller's oflice when the men were told they would have to wait until a week from Tuesday for their money. Some of the men needed their money badly, but those that raised the most disturbance were men who even own property and have been constantly employed durlne the summer. while other men have gone without employment. Mr. Trusler tried to explain why the city was unable to pay off the men, but the leaders of the crowd v ould not listen to him. but rather wanted to come into the inside oflice and argue with their Iist3. "Break Into the room and pit yer rr.ooney," trawled one Irishman who has not been without work during the summer. Others in the corridors were even more violent, and threats to burn the courthouse were even heard. About this time the controller telephoned over to the police station for an oflicer to quiet the crowd and Sergeant Wilson was sent over. The sight of the policeman caused the most obstreperous of the men to move further down the corridor. All afternoon, however, a few stood in ffront of the controller's oflice and glared at the clerks inside. Mr. Trusler said he greatly regretted that he was unable to pay the men. but he did not see how he could issue warrants when the city did not have the money with which to pay them. It would put him in .a very embarrassing position. President Wlldman, of the Board of Public Works, is Investigating the shape of the city contracts and improvement resolutions, with a xjew of keeping as much work going this Winter as iosslble in order to relieve the labor situation. Election Officer Talk of Suit. Several of the late Democratic inspectors and Judges have called for a meeting in the Criminal Ccurt room, on Monday evening, to take some action looking to a suit against the city to force her to pay their extortionate demands.

A wild eyed man with a satchel in his hand entered the office of the St. Louis Safe Deposit Company at noon to-day and told the cashier that unless he received some money at once he would blow up tho bank with the dynamite he had in the bag. There was a stampede. When the man was collared by an officer a moment later he proved to be Carl Meyer, a laborer, struggling with approaching delirium tremens. The satchel contained only some tools. IT PROVES A MUEDER

James Enbanks Dies of the Wound Inflicted by O'Keefe. His Wife Declines to Have Anything to Do with the Corpse Mrs. O'Keefe Turns Against Her Husband. James W. Kubanks died at 9 o'clock yesterday morning from the effects of the wound inflicted by Patrick O'Keefe. Death was .hastened by the excessive Internal bleeding of the wound, which the physicians were unable to control. The bullet in Its course went through the abdomen, severed two. Important arteries, and, notwithstanding the surgical operation resorted to by the doctors, It was impossible to save the life of the wounded man. Miss Grace O Keefe, who was prominently connected with the tragedy, was present at the death of Eubanks, and wept distressingly. Both she and her mother united in protesting against the removal of the body to the undertaker's, and in accordance with their wishes the coroner ordered the remains to be left In the house. Yesterday afternoon he wired to the wife of the dead man at Vethata, 111., requesting some directions as to the disposal of her husband's remains. Late yesterday evening a message was received from the woman announcing that she would have nothing to do with the body. Ths coroner will endeavor to reach the brothers of Eubanks at Wanta, 111., before taking further steps. Mrs. O'Keefe yesterday made a statement, in which she characterized the shooting by her husband as entirely uncalled for. She says that he was in a bad temper. She admitted that Eubanks called her a liar and other ungrentle names, but says that she first applied similar epithets to him. Further She says that Eubanks had no Intention of doing her harm. Yesterday morning? Patrick O'Keefe was arraigned in the Police Court on the charge of murder, but a preliminary hearing was waived by the prisoner's attorney. O'Keefa was taken, to JaU to await further proceedings. Mnrrfngre. licenses. Marriage licenses were issued yesterday to Thornton H. Burton and Lulu Middleton, John E. Meyers and Laura White, Thomas W. Dean and Lida C. Raymond, Charles McMacken and Martha H. Morgan, David Highbo and Sarah Quirck, Robert J. llochow and Bertha Simon, Albert Beck and Mary Markey. NEWS FJKHr THE FRONT. The Royal Scotch. Fnslleers Near -'-KlnfC Ijohcnerula's Headqnartern. CAPE TOWN, Oct. 23. News has been received from the column under the command of Major Goldabans, of the Royal Scotch Fusileers, who was Sir Frederick Carrington's second in command, and who has charge of the Fort Tull column, that he has succeeded in reaching a point eighty" miles from Buluwayo, the capital of King Lobengula's dominions. The fact that three columns are now close to Buluwayo and that only one engagement, in which about a hundred men were killed, has been fought, would seem to indicate that Lobengula is concentrating his fifteen thousand warriors around the capital, and that the decisive engagement may be fought there. The British force advancing upon Buluwayo is roughly estimated at between 2,000 and 2,500 men. If the Matabeles can be induced to make a stand at Buluwayo, there is no doubt that the machine guns and Martini ritles of the British force would soon terminate the war, but it is believed that the Matabeles will prefer to indulge in a harassing guerrilla warfare, which may put the colonist troops to considerable Inconvenience, and which may either compel them to pass the winter at Buluwayo or to return there in March next The firing upon King Lobengula's envoys near Goidaban's camp has caused the government considerable annoyance, and will lead to an inquiry into the action of the British commander on the spot. The officer referred to says the envoys were mistaken for hostile natives, and that they were fired upon when they resisted arrest after their temporary detention had been ordered. Be this as it may, two of Lobengula's envoys were undoubtedly shot and killed while they "were running away from Goidaban's camp, and there does not seem to be any Justification of the shooting. Sir Henry Loch is determined to probe this matter to the utmost, and is said to have ordered the arrest of the officer ill com-' mand at Goidaban's camp pending an inquiry Into the shooting. Battle at Melllla. MADRID, Oct 23. The Minister of War, General Mayallo, received a telegram from Mellila to-day saying that the Moors this morning opened fire in great forces upon the Spaniards who were working upon the fort now in course of erection. The dispp.tches from Melllla add that the Are of the Moors was no well directed that the Spaniards were obliged, to retreat. They did so, however, in good order, and inflicted considerable loss ujxm the enemy. DREAM AYORTII 10.

Sensitive Perception That "Would Puzzle Psychical Researcher. New York Sun. "The wife of a friend of mine In Middletown had a curious dream the other night," said a well-known Orange county lawyer. "Her husband had received a sum of money, andhe rolled the bills up with a He went home in the evening, and while giving his wife some money, noticed that the new ten-dollar blil was gone. He searched his pockets, but the missing note could not be found. The loss naturally caused quite a little commotion in the household, and the matter was discussed even after my friend and his wife had retired for the night. "Next morning the wife woke up her husband, and brought the subject of the lost bill to his mind by the query: " 'Was that ten-dollar bill numbered 151? "The husband said he didn't know whether the number was 151 or whtther the bill had any number on it at all. " 'And furthermore,' said he, T don't care for I never expect to sea the bill again.' ' " 'Don't you be too sure,' said his wife. You took that money out of your pocket before you got into the house last night.' "Yes, I did," said the husband. 'But how did jou know if." " 'I had a dream last night that you did replied the wife. 'And I dreamed that the number of the bill was 151, and that the wind blew the note out of your hand.' " 'Nonsense!' said the husband. "Nothing more was said about it. My friend ate his breakfast and went to his business. Early in the forenoon his wife came in. smiling. She had a new ten-dollar bill in her hand.

WAITING THE VERDICT

Lebanon Jury Has Hard Work to Come to an Agreement. Brown Murder Case Closed at Noon Yesterday Highwaymen Wouldn't Hob a Cripple State Items. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, Ind., Oct. 2S.-The Jury In the Brown murder trial was charged by Judge R. R. Stephenson at noon to-day, and they immediately retired to the jury room. No verdict had been reached at a late hour this evening. The last speech was by Prosecutor Dutch, who made out a strong case against the defendant, taking up the entire forenoon with his speech. Judge Stephenson's charge to the Jury, which followed, was considered as leaning toward Brown. He instructed the jurors that they must be convinced beyond all reasonable doubt of the guilt of the defendant before they return against him. He was presumed to be innocent until the contrary was proven. If they were satis fied that the defendant was guilty of the crime they might hnd him guilty of murder in the first or second degree or of manslaughter, and the punishment should be assessed in accordance with the degree of the crime. But if they conclude that the killing was necessary to save the life of the defendant, then it would be justifiable and the verdict should be "not guilty." The trial was begun Oct 17. making this the eleventh day. Interest has been at a high pitch throughout the trial, the court room being crowded at every session. During the closing speeches there was not standing room. The crime for which Brown has, been on trial was the shooting of lawyer Samuel Wesner, one of the leading practitioners at the Boone county bar. Wesner was prosecuting a claim for damages against Brown and the gas company of which he is an officer, and the case had been transferred to the Hendricks county court, at Danville, on a change of venue. The trial, which was marked by much bitter feeling in the summing up before the jury on both sides, closed on the afternoon of May 20 last In Danville. Before the jury had retired from the court room and while Judge Hadley, of Danville, was still on the bench. Brown approached Wesner, who was laughing and discussing the case with his confreres. Wesner had just closed a powerful address to the jury In which he had soundly scored Brown. Brown was angry. He interrupted Wesner with the remark: "My reputation in Lebanon is as good as yours." Brown had his hand on his hip. Wesner replied: "You've got a gun, Brown, but I'm no coward. Pull it and shoot." Wesner carried a dagger in his breast pocket, but he was shot twice before he could get it from the scabbard, both being found on the floor afterwards. The main point In the case hinged on the fact whether or not Wesner tried to draw his dagger before Brown shot. The witnesses were divided in their opinion. Wesner died in thirty minutes. The people were so incensed against Brown that lynching was feared, and he was taken from the jail that night and driven to Indianapolis, where he was kept until the excitement cooled down. At his preliminary hearing he was held without ball and remained in jail until his trial, which began in Lebanon on a change of venue from Hendricks county. WOULDN'T ROD A CR1PPLK.

The city schools will not open Monday next, as previously announced. At a special meeting of the City Council it was decided not advisable to take the chances, although there is very little danger of any further infection of the emallpox. There are now but five cases being treated at the hospitals, all the other cases convalescing. A new case developed yesterday on South Walnut street in the infected district at the home of Jacob Toesch. It was a girl, aged ten years. She was taken to the hospital with her mother. Some of the churches will be open tomorrow, but not all. Manager H. R. Wysor has billed "Two Old Cronies" to appear at his theater next Wednesday night. There is great diversity of opinion here as to the action of the City Council in refusing to permit the schools to open Monday, and the majority of the citizens seem to think the doors should be opened.
