MR, IIAGENBECK'S FAMILY. Baby Elephant, Lions, Tljrers, Dog;, Horses, and All in Town. Restless, roaring: lions, stealthy, savage tigers and troops or performing: monkeys and dogs occupy the stage of English's Opera House. The scenic -world has given place to a veritable Jungle of wild beasts that represent the life work of Carl Hagenbeck. The novel exhibit arrived in Indianapolis at noon, yesterday from Cincinnati. A train of twelve cars drew into the Big Four yards at that hour and from until 6 o'clock last night the work of removing the contents of the cars went on. The very first member of Hagenbeck's interesting family to step from the train was the ibaby elephant, whose broad back furnishes a luxurious saddle for one of Prof. Darling's ferocious lions. The elephant, with a school of Shetland ponies and Arabian horses, were sent to a livery stable near the theater, where they will occupy quarters during the week. All of the other animals, including the lions, tigers, leopards, boar-hounds and reptiles, were, transported to the theater. At 6 o'clock last night they were turned Into the big ironcage that occupies the entire stage. When ready for the exhibition the combined weight of the menagerie, including the cage, is sixty tons. To bear this ponderous burden the stage has been securely braced and every precaution taken to prevent accidents. The Hagenbeck show includes 385 performing animals and fifty-two people who assist the entertainment in various capacities. A band of eighteen pieces is carried with the show. Many of the trainers and keepers were on the stage yesterday afternoon, mingling with the animals and watching the construction of the big cage. Mellie Sadie Sackontala, tne little blonde lady who experienced a thrilling brush with a tiger Avhile performing a.. Cincinnati Friday, was about the theater, apparently none the worse for her adventure. Prof. Iarling. the trainer and keeper of the three immense lions, was present when his savage pets were removed from their shipping quarters, and carefully watched every detail of the work. Prof. Darling observes every varying mood of these animals, and every available moment of his extra time is spent in companionship with the beasts. There are but three products of America with the Hagenbeck exhibit. "Columbus," a vicious but brliliant stallion, was picked up In Chicago a year hro. and the two leopard kittens, whose diminutive proportions and handsomely marked coats so delight the young people, were born in Madison-square Garden six months ago. When "Columbus" was purchased by Hagenbeck's manager the great German trainer naid that St was useless to attempt to make anythtng out of an American animal. The subsequent clever work of the horse, however, has convinced the proprietor of his error regarding equine intelligence In America. To keep the animals fat and glossy and in a tolerable humor It requires six hundred pound of meat daily. Kaeh morning, except Saturday, they are feu on fresh beef and liver, but on Saturday are given nothing but milk. The keepers say this lacteal diet Is necessary to the health and disposition of the beasts. Press Agent John Daly says that there are a number of pensioners dally dependent upon the show, men and women who have at some time received Feriou Injury while in the employ of Hagenbeck. Whenever a perfonier Is hurt while in the performance of his duty he is given somrt light employment. If able to work, but Is never dismissed from service. If the Injury is too serious, to aiVilt of further travel with the snow th siVrerer is thereafter supported by Hagenbec. It is thr plan of the proprietor to send his exhibit into every city of prominence in America. While he does not expect to realize, a great profitable revenue from an American tour, it is his Idea to give the people an opportunity of witnessing the fcult of his lawrs la the animal world.

WITH BEAT OF DRUM

tub sal.vatiox army marshals its Forces ix this citv. Servire Held In the Chnrehes Testerday Rev. Mr. Ellison Ileiclns Work at the First Baptist. There was not a large audience, yesterday afternoon, at the opening meeting of the Salvation Army In this city, but a strong Interest was manifested in the corps of officers and their speeches. Brigadier General Fielding, a large, broad and deepchested man, with black hair and fair complexion, with a bearing of command and of no little power among his fellow-men, was the chief. He was attired in a black, longskirted coat, epauleted, and a red shirt. He quickly demonstrated that he was of a practical turn of mind, and as soon as Rev. Dr. Sims turned the meeting over to him with an expression of satisfaction at Iris presence and hope for the success of the army in this city, he called for prayer by Ensign Black, who is to have, command of the forces in Indianapolis. This prayer was couched In clear-cut and well-formed sentences, disappointing any who might have come expecting to encounter illiteracy. Indeed, the entire corps seemed to have good use of proper English, and to be at home In the expression of their ideas. As the prayer ended, while still kneeling. General Fielding struck out in a song with a strtking refrain, beseeching blessing from on high. Then Mrs. Captain Stuyvesant, wife of the officer in command at this station when the Brigadier leaves, was ordered to lead in prayer, and the earnest voice of a email woman with a white face, a high forehead, fully disclosed under the army bonnet, rang through the church. Captain and Lieutenant Jones two young women with rather angular features, arose and sang a solo and chorus, accompanying themselves with a guitar and mandolin. The solo was sung by the petite sister, whose voice is thin and pitched high, and lacks the sweet soprano quality that is, undoubtedly, in the taller sister. The refrain was catchy and pleasing, and the Brigadier took It up and sang it several times after the song was finished, many in the audience joining in the words. His arms swung rhythmically as the song was sung. Captaiiystuyvesant was ordered to speak and then, one by one, eaoh of the officers excepting the singers, were called to address the audience. Their words were in the form of testimony as to how they had comd to Join the "Salvation Army, and most of them had come out of the Methodist Church, just as General Booth had done. Brigadier General Fielding said that he called upon each of them in order, that the people might become better acquainted with them. Besides Captain Stuyvesant. there were heard his wife and Lieutenant Sherman. As a means of demonstrating the style of their evangelical warfare, the Brigadier . called for a 'typical Salvation Army song, entitled "Glory." It has the air of the Jodling' song and Is catchy even in its religious dressing of words upon the theme of glory. The impulse was to encore the piece, so pleasing was the song and so much more familiar to the variety stage than to the houses of God. The Brigadier said he desired to speak of the work that the corps would do. H.t had found, he said, that some would sped the word c-o-r-p-s-e, 'but he did not think the activity of the officers would give anybody a chance to think that the corps was a corpse, and the devil least of all, with God's help, would find that they were about the liveliest corpse that he had ever met. He said that he could not understand why people who had never come in contact with the army should feel prejudiced against it. It was rather to be expected that those who had witnessed the unusual methods should feel this prejudice, because the ways of the army are strange and run counter to their set ideas. To have prejudice without knowledge was too unjust to be tolerated by fair-minded people. Then the Brigadier described how General Booth about twenty-nine years ago was called to the great work of reaching the masses with the religion of Christ. He had heard, the Brigadier said, the leading ministers of that time discussing how to reach the people, and after wrestling in spirit with God over his convictions, General Booth decided to give up his large and well-paid place In a Methodist pulpit and undertake the work as he saw uis duty. He rented a dance hall In the worst part of London and called in the people of that locality, the, vilest that the world knew. Including drunkards, thieves and the fallen in every form of both es. The work prospered and it soon nwiuired a disused theater holding several thousands to accommodate the crowds. Meanwhile there were persecutions, and those whom he had left in the church called him a fanatic, a fool, and prophesied failure. The masses had failed to come to the church under his old pastorate, but he knew that he was taking the church to them and his experience in rescuing the most depraved soon anchored his faith that there is hope for the fallen to the very uttermost. The work came to be known as the Christian Mission, and then It reached a, standstill, as it took the form of a settled mission. General Booth saw that the work had ceased to grow and he called his officers together for conference. He determined to reorganize it and give it a military character with military titles. From that time, the Brigadier said, It had not ceased to grow and had spread all over the civilized world. The mission and the army grew out of need, he continued, and so had every Innovation of method The Brigadier then discussed the objections most often heard to the army. One, he said, was the drum. Many condemn its use because it seems out of place and disturbed them when they wanted quiet. But that was just the reason, he sa,-, why it had been chosen. It was to call attention to the fact that the meetings of the Salvation Army were in progress or about to begin. : The drum, he said, had the same purpose as the church bell, and he added that it costs a great deal less than the bell or the organ which are used to draw people to church. The drum reached ears calloused and deaf to the sounds of the bell and the organ. Then was related the story of a prize fighter converted by means of he sounds of the drum. He was about to drink a glass of beer in a saloon and hearing a drum, went to the door. He followed, fittracted by the strange music for a religious meeting, and in the meeting heard his own prodigal condition described so particularly that he was moved to tears and yielded to the conviction of sin. He had before been a saloon loafer, only sober when preparing for a bout In the prize ring, and was a terror to the neighborhood and to his wife and children. Th sensation to his wife when he returned to their wretched home that night a converted man was described very effectively and added to the favortble impression made by the speaker. Referring to the fact that some object to the flag, he said It was the symbol of tho pulpit in the open air meetings, and was used both to attract attention to the meetings and to indicate organization. No army he said, could exist without a flag. In. Chicago, the Brigadier said, the army occupies a building seating three thousand people and pays $250 a month vent for it. There is no trouble raising the money to pay rent because of the good work mat is done. He related a number of Incidents showing the power of the army to bring regeneration to men and women who had fallen to the lowest depths. The. audience manifestc-d the greatest interest in the discourse t the last, though the subject opened so wide to the enthusiastic Brigadier's views that It was difficult for him to bring his discourse Jo a close. He addressed an audience, last light at the Second Presbyterian "hurch. t has not been many years since it would not have been possible for the army to b admitted to the leading churches of the city, but its methods and sincerity have stood the test and the local ministers have cordially Indorsed the movement as one complementing their work In strata of society whose doors are shut to the ministers. FIRST BAPTIST XGW PASTOR. Rev. I. J. Klllnou Preaches Ills First Sermon Chnrelt Crowded. Rev. D. J. Ellison, the new pastor of the First Baptist Church, began his labors yesterday, and was grecteJ both morning ani evening with large congregations, in the morning every seat being occupied. Following the mornhig service the Lord's supper was celebrate!, fully . four hundred members of the church being present. At the opening of this service the pastor gave the hand of fellowship to twenty-six persons. Immediately after the' service the pistor, his wife and two children stood upon the platform in front of the pulpit and took by the -hand the several hundred communicants who came up the south aisle and went out the north aisle. The services of the entire day, including the music, were appropriate to the first Sunday of the year

and the first Sunday for the paster to begin his labors- Wednesday, Jan. 16. the church and congregation will give- a,re? Ceptlon to Mr. Ellison and his wife' inr the parlors of the church. Mr. Ellison's text in the morning was from II Samuel xv, 15: "Thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my Lord, the King, shall appoint." . "The tendency of human life is to focalize itself." said the minister. "The process may be gradual, and, for the most part, imperceptible, but it is none the less real; and these hours of localization stand out in a man's life like peaks of a mountain range. Upon some of these the sunlight falls until they glow as with the light such as the wedding day. when every heart is glad and all the home is full of music; as the time when we found Christ, when the. door of heaven stood open wiih the glory . streaming through, and we stood upon the -shining steps; as when the wanderers, long absent, again entered the old home and the family circle was complete. "But such hours may be hours of gloom as well as of gladness. They may lift themselves into a darkness than can be felt; Into a ailght without a star. It does not follow when a man walks in the dark that his own breath has blown the light out. God may have turned it low in order- to. teach him a lesson of faith and trust. The words of our text spoke in the darkest hours of David's life. All 'grace had forsaken him for Absalom. Only his body guard stood faithful, and these -men, gathering about the King, in strong and united voices cried, 'Thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord, the King, shall appoint.', Let us learn the less of Christian loyalty. Loyalty involves heroism. It has the red streak of sacrifice running through It. There Is more loyalty to friends, to truths, to duty in this world than we dream of. ' It is the one thing we cannot pay for, yet' without It there Is no true service. In the home, in the cab of the locomotive, on the field of battle, heroism Is the law of life. Bat this is between man and man. How it ought to shame Christians to think that we are willing to do more for our friends and dear ones than we are willing to do Cor Christ. And then we are - surprised at those who are loyal to the Savior. They are not those we might expect. Davla s body guard was not composed of any members of his royal Cabinet, or of his own family, or of old friends. They were not even Jews. They were Philistines, six hundred men of Gath, fellowtownsmen and former friends of Goliath, David's old antagonist. So, to-day, we are surprised at the body guard of David's greater Son. He never seems to take the men we think He will. He chooses according to his own pleasure. He selects sincere men who are intensely in earnest. The need to-day and in all the days 4s for "men who place the King's business first, and who fling themselves into it with a magnificent abandonment. Does it pay to do this? Yes. Not always was David an exile.; By and by he returned as victor to the ,city, and then the body guard was given,, the place of honor and reward. To-day, our King is rejected of men, but the day 13 coming when He whose right it is will reign forever more. Soon, very soon, you and I shall see him, and 4f H shall be our privilege to stand among the old guard of the King cKoll cuv ' Vnt until us. not unto USl but

unto Thee be all the praise and the- glory J As pastor and people what 'Detter vow can we make here to-day, looking into the face of the King, than the vow of David's soldiers so long ago, Thy servants are ready 1 1 to do whatsoever my lord, the King, p-shall appoint " ' . . . In the evening the text was Ezekiel xxil, 21: "The King of Babylon stood at the parting of the ways." The .pastor spoke of .1 the great nations of antiquity Greece, Rome, -Babylon and what they wrought for manirtud. He told of the circumstances of the text and enlarged upon the power of choice In human lire: that it is royai.jto oe Ma tn ohnnse standing as we do between alternatives. That the same choice- never H comes for our acceptance but once. Aain and again it is now or never. God wlH help us choose and will also help us to jcarry out our decisions. tf - ' MAYER MISSIOX IXFLIEXCB. ' ' . 1 J Sixty People Joined Seeond Prepby-, terlan Church. Yesterday, j, , Communion services were held at the Second Presbyterian Church yesterday,, morning. About sixty persons united -.with , the church, being the greatest accession at one time in years. A majority of these Joined through the influent of the Mayer , Mission, on South West street. Rev. Joseph Milburn preached no regular sermon, but made a few remarks appropriate to the observance of the Lord's supper and spoke also t the good which has been accomplished by the Mayer Mission. The music of the morning was especially prepared, for the occasion and formed an important part of the serVice. HE WAS AN EX-SLAYE A STORY OF SAM TEL TAYLOR, THE FIREMAN, "WHO DIED SATURDAY. Freed ly General Foster on Independence Day, 1S03 -Secret ot 111 Master's Treasure. 1 With the life of Samuel Tayloiy the fireman who died Saturday night, is connected a touching story of devotion and fidelity. He was a slave before the war and on July 4, 1863, he received his freedom from slavery by Gen. R, S. Foster, j whose command was bivouacking on the plantation of Taylor's master.N So .Taylor ; became -known as an "Independence dayj freedman." He felt grateful to Generalf ; Foster, but in his devotion to his new-j found friends, who brought him libertyj he did not ' forget his trust to his old master, who had been kind to him.Y Taylor was the old master's name and Vumor had it that there was much valuable property buried by him before he fle4 further south. The owner 4 of the plantar tion was wealthy and his plantation wa$ one of the finest in the vicinity oft Richmond, Va. It was thought that Sam knew where this ' wealth was hidden and many of the soldiers endeavored to get him to reveal the secret. His master had imjposed a trust upon him which he.4 would not ignore, so he refused to disclose it. Sam Taylor was attached to General Foster's statf as body servant and ...proyej:! to be a most efficient servant. He was a great favorite with all of General Foster'js old regiment, the Thirteenth Indiana Infantry. He remained with the regiment until ; the close of the war and ever since has been ; a welcome visitor at the reunions of the Old guard. He never forgot the kindness : of General Foster, at whose home he was , always welcome and with whom he lived until he obtained a position on the 1116 ; department. After his arrival In the North his old, master offered great inducements to him to return to the old plantation, but Sam liked better the friends' who had aided him to freedom and so he re-, ma inert here. i X BRUTALLY BEATING HIS WIFE. Jacob Settle Found Thus.. Enwaifed by Two Patrolmen. j Tatrolmen Deshong and Streit walked south from Washington street, on Missouri, yesterday afternoon, looking for sa loon keepers. While near Maryland street. J they hear.d a woman screaming and in. a few seconds they discovered a man standing in an alleyway beating a woman. Sh'o had her hands thrown about her head for protection and the man was striking her with both fists. The officers rushed up and seized him and at the same time she fell to the ground from exhaustion. He gave the name of Jacob Settle, and said the woman was his wife and that she would not remain at home. He said they lived at No. 260 West Washington street. Settle had been drinking and he tried to whip the two officers, but was persuaded otherwise. Mrs. Settle was not seriously injured, although her face was badly Bruised. Hitchcock Had a Knife. Complaint, was received at police headquarter's, yesterday morning, saying the people in the neighborhood of No. 25 Henry street had not slept during the night, because of the actions of Jesse Hitchcock, and that a murder was a possibility, unless the man was arrested. Officers Rinker and Iird hurried to the number, given, and found Hitchcock in full possession of the house. His wife had locked herself In one room. She was liberated and her husband was arrested for disturbing the peace. Neighbors say he returned home drunk Saturday night and waited with a 'butcher knife all night at the door of his wife's room, threatening to kill her. Mrs. Hitchcock has made freouent complaint of her husband to the police, but she would never allow him arrested or agree to procure a warrant.

FOR THE GRAND JURY

XAMKS OF DGFRAIDKG CITY COXTRACTORS MAY' HE PRESEXTED. ' City Attorney Will Investigate te , Possibility of Grand Jarr Action What One Woman Did. It is probable that the names of the contractors who have done faulty and defective-work upon Improvements and thereby defrauded the public will be taken to the grand jury and an investigation asked of their methods. ' The city attorney will ba asked for an opinion as to the probability of the success of nuch action. It is claimed that those contractors who have done cheap and inferior work, covering it up from inspectors, are guilty of fraud and that their cases can be reached by the grand Jury. The Council investigating committee Is waiting until all of the evidence is before them before it makes any suggestions or decides upon 'any action. The city engineer is at present at work investigating many of the improvements which have been made, and it is "thought hat his report will show that there has been ;considerable inferior work done. Should it be found that criminal action is Impracticable, civil action may be commenced. It is the opinion, of all connected with the city government and all those interested in the work of the Council committee, that all contractors whd have been making money at the expense of the city and In violation of their contracts, should In some way be called to account. J lAfter the investigation is closed there is t be a conference of the members of the cbmmittee, the city attorney and the Mayor, upon the evidence to the committee. Thar ii a doubt with some at present regarding the possibility of bringing criminal action. It is said by these that it will b a hard matter to connect the contractors with any shoddy work and it Will be Impossible to give an estimated sum of the amount which has been lost by their work. But there are others who think differently and several of these have advised the commit--tee to go directly before the grand jury with the evidence they now have on hand. Those Who argue for grand jury action say that Should an individual be defrauded In a simiiiar manner he would not hesitate a mintte in taking his case to the proper auIhorities. Members- of the committee reuse to express any opinions at present, ut they all say they have some decided nes. It is understood that the sentiment si that there has been negligence in the street commissioner's office, and greater negligence in the inspecting department of the engineer's office, and that some very fehoddy work has been done sn the improveknents, because of this negligence. LAUGHED AT THE WOMAN; She Discovered Defective Work in UFace of the Engineer's Opinion. Apropos to 'the developments before he Council investigating committee regarding faulty sewer work which has been'done by contractors it Is interesting to recall that the first person to make the discovery and complaint .was a woman. She Is a widow j and has some propertyv which she looks after herself rather than have it in the " hands of an agency. She watched the im provements as well as the specifications. A sewer was ordered in the alley in the rear of her home. Occasionally she would watch the men at work, and she became convinced that it was not being carried on properly. The catch basins were defective, as recent developments have shown. The walls of the sewier were not the required thickness and proper provision was not made for house connections. This woman carried a complaint to the engineer's office, so it is said, where she was laughed at and told that the work was being inspected by men who knew their business. At the Board of Public Works she was informed that the city engineer saw that all work was done properly. That woman's "business ability stands a great deal higher in the estimation of the neighborhood now than It did before the investigation. KNOCKED TRON DOWN. Sergeant Hyland Heented the Saloon Keeper's Vile Lanu:unu;c. William Tron, proprietor of the Kingston saloon and restaurant, at Nos. 17 and 19 North Illinois street, was knocked down in his place of business early yesterday morning by Sergeant Hyland, and afterward arrested for drunkenness, profanity and 'resisting an officer. The affair is the culmination of the bad feeling which has existed between the police and the men on I"the levee," as a result of the saloonclosing policy of the city administration. Tron's place has been under police surveillance since the city elecnon, and an Officer has been on duty there a great deal of the time. Tron has objected to this and there have been many wordy wars between him and the officers.. Yesterday morning, about 2:30 o'clock, a telephone message received -at headquarters slated that a sergenat or a captain was wanted at the Kingston immediately. Hyland walked there as quick as possible, but was told by ithe clerk at the restaurant that no officer iwas needed. He then walked east on Court street past the rear entrance of the saloon, Intending to call up headquarters by tele.'phone. As he passed the door of the saloon, a, man and woman were coming out. HyJand demanded admission, but the door ,'was closed in his face. He went to the telephone and then returned to the restau.rant. having summoned Sergeant Laporte ,and patrolman Pope. It was the Intention to station Pope at the door leading from :the restaurant to the saloon, as it was 'claimed that the crowd in the saloon en.tered by way of the restaurant. It was thought that there was a crowd in the saloon at the time. Tron was :r. the restaurant and Hyland said to him: "Bill, what does that crowd In the saloon mean? I thought you were not going to give us any more trouble?" Tron replied with a series of oaths. In which the entire police force was called the vilest of names. Hyland was called the most insulting names possible. Advancing to Tron, he said: , "Bill, you are drunk and don't know what you are saying, but I will not allow . any man to talk to me like that. You want to stop right where you are." . Instead of obeying Tron continued the abuse. He cursed Mayor Denny and Superintendent Powell. He applied "a vile name to tha wife of a city officer, but no sooner was the Insulting language out of his mouth than Hyland struck him in the face, knocking him down. Sergeant La-porte-and patrolman Pope seized him and started for the sidewalk. Tron at iirst refused to go, and while being dragged tnrough the door his hand struck the glass, breaking it and cutting h!s hand severely. The prisoner was taken to headquarters in the patrol wagon, but was soon afterward released upon bond. Officer Kiefer was stationed all day yesterday in the restaurant part of Tron's place. He reports that no attempt was made to violate the law. Tron has a I.adly swollen nose and mouth as a result of the blow given him by Hyland. He claims that the intrusion of the officers was an outrage and thathe said nothing to them but in a joking way. Frank Karnshnw Drops Dead. Frank Earnshaw, age fifty years, who has been boarding at No. 199 South Illinois street, fell to the sidewalk In front of No. 29 West Ohio street yesterday afternoon, about 3 o'clock. He was carried to an office near by. where he died in a few minutes without recovering consciousness. The body was viewed later by the coroner. The latter believes heart disease was the cause of death. The deceased belongs to a wellknown family of this city, and has a brother, Joseph Earnshaw, living at No. UJi Huron street. A Death at Acton.' Coroner Castor was called to Acton yes terday to view the remains of William Hayes, who was found dead In bed yesterday morning. Hays's home Is near Southport. Saturday he went to visit Mr. and Mrs. Wilson at Acton. He retired that night In seeming good health, and was found dead the next morning. The deceased was forty-three years old and leaves a family. Dr. Castor i of the opinion that death was due to a tumor, with which Hays has uerCJ for several years.

THE LlKUElt iUiEHEHV LOSiS. V It "Will nun Clone to $20,000 llopllulned by "Water. The fire department placed the loss caused by the fire at Lleber's brewery, Saturday night, at between $400 and $500, but the management of the concern say the loss amounted to $20,000. There was a valuable portion of the plant destroyed, of which it seems the department was unable to tell the value. The fire originated In the wareroom over the fermenting room. Some extensive improvements have been going on and a quantity of oil and waste was stored there. The wareroom was gutted and the flames communicated to the fermenting room, which had just been refitted. In there were several appliances valuable In the manufacture of beer and. these were completely destroyed. The firm had laid in a large supply of .hops, which was ruined by the water. Had it not been for the strong walls the entire plant would have- doubtlessly been destroyed. The fire department remained on tne scene until 9 o'clock this morning. Aft-sr the engines had departed the tire broke out afresh, but was extinguished in a short time. The plant is the property of the Indianapolis Brewing Company, who will make the necessary repairs immediately. The loss is covered by insurance. German T iogrnihleal I nlon.
