The great Hagenbeck show Is full of Interesting and exciting features, but the climax is reached when Mehrman's group of seventeen animals occupy the stage. .At yesterday's matinee two new acts were Introduced, one In which the beautiful tigress Kittle rides a horse under the direction of Mile. Sakantolo and Mr. Philadelphia, at'l the other a comical monkey and French poodle turn, 5n which the dogs were dressed like peasant girls. The effect was intensely ludicrous. Kittle, the Bengal tigress, is a magnificent specimen, and leaps from pedestal to pedestal and thence to the back of a horse with a grace all her own. She was In fairly good humor yesterday, 1 though disposed once or twice to rebel. Darling and his big Nubian , lions aroused as much admiration yesterday as on the opening night. The remarkable performance of these monster lions Is a show in Itself, while Nero, the big white boat hound, superintended their various acts with as much Importance as If the responsibility for the entire show rested on him. English's Opera House was well filled both afternoon and evening, and the prospects for crowded houses the remainder of the week are excellent. On Friday afternoon the matinee performance will be delayed until S o'clock to accommodate the school children, and special preparations will be made to take rare of the little nnp. who will rnmo In droves. This performance Is to be for the benefit of the Free Kindergarten. There will be Hagenbeck matinees each day, the programme this afternoon being the same as yesterday, with a chanee of bill for to-night. The matinee programme after to-day will be the same as that of to-night, while the evening bill for Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be, the same as that of to-day's matinee. ' ' Grand "The Ensign" Friday. "The Ensign," a new naval play by William Haworth, will be presented at the Grand! next Friday and Saturday. It seems from ail accounts to be something above the. ordinary melo-drama. The theme Is an attractive one. Life on board a man-o'-war, when depicted on the stage, is interesting, and when the stirring scenen are heightened by superb scenic and mechanical effects are doubly intensified by patriotic sentiment and breezy numor, the emotions are strung to an extraordinary degree. The hero in this case is an ensign In the United States navy, who, in the course of a quarrel with a deserter, who tears down the American flag, kills him. For this he is tried, found guilty and condemned to death by a courtmartial. His life is saved at the last moment by the President, who, in a pretty tableau or scene, properly speaking, grants a pardon at the intercession of a little girl. The story is said to possess unusual dramatic strength and powerfully drawn situations, and the scenery is admitted by naval officers to be absolutely perfect In point of technical detail. Srhllewen Quartet Concerts. The first of a series of five concerts will be given by the Schllewen String Quartette on Tuesday evening, Jan. 15. Borne of the noblest chamber works of the famous composers will be given. The quartette has the same members which have been received with favor in former bassist rd lerCe' the Pianst' Sybil Sandemon to Wed a Culmu. NEW YORK.

Among the first to bid her welcome to New ork was Miss Emma Karnes from whom, on her arrival. Miss Sanderson received a handsome bunch of roses. During her stay in America, Miss Panderson may be heard in "Manon," "Phryn'e" and perhaps In '"Esclarmonde" or "Thais " Incidentally she also said she hoped to marry Air. Antonio Terry, a Cuban of considerable wealth, who is equally at home in Paris and New York. "The date of our marriage," paid the singer, with engacrlns frankness, "depends on a divorce suit which is pending. For, unfortunately, Mr. Terry has a wife. He has not lived with her for eleven years, though, I believe she is a very charming person." Mr. Terry came over on the Champagne with Miss Sanderson. Xotea of the Singe. Prof. Darling, the noted lion tamer, has the largest collection of diamonds of any man in the world. He procured them while commissioner in Africa for Mr. Hagenbeck having lived there eight years before he took, to. training lions. The Park Theater was filled again yesterday afternoon and last night. Fulgora's act is more wonderful the oftener it is seen. The company continues all week with- daily matinees and will be followed next Monday by "McNulty's Visit," a companion piece to "Finnigan's Ball." and by tne same author, Geo. 11. Emerick, who is starring in it. There was no decrease In the size of the audiences at the Empire yesterday to see J. W. Kelly, the famous story teller, and Miss Imogene Comer, the popular descriptive singer. Miss Comer has a charming voice and will prove a great drawing card all week. Among others with the company who deserve special mention are Kaye and Henry in their comedy creation, entitled "Capital vs. Labor." Ladies matinee will be given daily. Salvation Army nt "Work. The Salvation Army opened fire upon the sinnera of Indianapolis last evening. A small band of soldiers marched through Washington street before the services sing lng hymns, playing horns and beating drums and tambourines, endeavoring t attract a crowd to the barracks on Kout Illinois street, where the preaching wa to occur. About twenty-five men andboyh followed the music to the hail, which w. comfortably filled. The night was a triiV cool, so there were but few Idle people on the street Wch accounts tor vwe jsf of

The Board of Health held a short session yesterday morning. The question of reporting contagious diseases was considered to some extent. It Is well known to the board that not over 25 per cent, of the cases of measles are ever reported, contrary to the law, which requires physicians to report all cases of contagious diseases. The board has decided that it will prosecute all persons wno fail to do their duty in this regard. It is believed that the measles epidemic is due to the failure to report cases, on account of which negligence many children from families having measles are permitted to attend the public schools. The alarming increase of contagious diseases reported during the two days of tht3 week was the cause of this action. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon there had been 130 cases of measles, ten of diphtheria and five of scarlet fever reported this week. At this rate there would be about 1,800 cases of measles during this month. During ihe last three months of la3t year the reports were 147, 32d and 650 cases, respectively. Contagious diseases were reported last year as follows: Diph- Scarlet Mea- Smalltheria. Fever, sles. pox. January 15 47 3 ..

The St. Clalr-street sewer, according to the Acme Paving Company's report, has been completed for three weeks, but is not yet accepted by City Engineer Brown. Mr. Brown refused to accept It until all the work has been completed according to specifications. After three weJ;s of delay Derk DeRuiter has put a force of men at work placing the sewer and the street in proper condition. Sad Stories of Two Women. Two comely-looking women, each with a sad tale, were among the visitors at police headquarters last evening. One of them came on crutches, and she begged assistance in bringing her husband home. She has recently learned that he has been visiting a woman living on South Meridian street, so last night she called ut the house and found him there. With tears in her eyes she entreated him to return home, but he was ha f intoxicated and refused. On the table in the house this poor, crippled woman found a bunch of roses, which had been given her by a friend, and which her husband had purloined. After being unsuccessful at the house she came to headquarters, but the police could do nothing for her, simply advising her to procure a warrant. This woman was welldressed, and she sp.id her home is on New York street. Th other visitor lives on Woodlawn avenue, and from her actions it was thought .she is of unsound mind. She said she felt as if there was a great weight upon her mind, and she was afraid to return home. Her husband was waiting for her, she claimed, and she was afraid of him. An investigation was made by an officer, while the woman remained at headquarters, and it was le'uv.?d that she had a good home. Her mothtr has ieen sick for some time, and she has acted as nurse during all the illness. Ht friends think her mind has given cvr-'j under the strain. Police Matron Bi.cr.anan accompanied the unfortunate woman home, as she refused to go with anybody else. Mlis Kirs' Ilea Hi.

CO

CAUCDS ADOPTS RULES

THE SEXATE WILL APPOINT ITS OWN COMMITTEES. Lieutenant Governor Aye Shorn of All Power Except the Right to Ap- . point Two Pages.The Republican senatorial caucus met last night in the Denison House, with twentynine Senators present, and Senator Newby, who was elected President pro tem., in the chair. The caucus decided not to go Into the election of officers of the Senate, but to defer this work for a caucus to ,be held to-night in the Statehouse. The caucus then gave consideration to the rules that shall govern the Senate. A copy of the rules of the Senate during the time that Lieutenant Governor Chase was in the chair was 'brought Into the meeting by a Senator, and the changes were made to conform to those. The situation then was a Republican Lieutenant Governor and a Democratic majority, and now It ia a Democratic Lieutenant Governor and a Republican majority. The rules as changed take the power of appointment of committees out of the hands of Lieutenant Governor Nye and place it in the Republican majority. The Lieutenant Governor, under these rules, will not have the right to call , any Senator to the chair in his absence, and this duty will devolve upon the President pro tem., Senator Newby. In case the Lieutenant Governor declines to put a motion it will be the duty of the principal secretary to put it. Ah effort was made to change the rules so that the presiding officer should be deprived of his prerogative of appointing even the two pages that are allowed him, but the better sense of the Senators prevailed, and ' this was not adopted. Some of the Senators, avowed, In speeches, that the Senate-was here to deal with questions "of state, and not to deprive the second officer xf the State of an unimportant privilege.' By others it was denounced as peanut politics, opening the way for. more nepotism. Some of the Senators are getting ready to have their sons appointed as pages. THE SPEAKERSHIP II ACE. Adams's FriendfTstlll Claim He Will Be Elected on First Ballot. It was generally conceded last night about the Deniso.n House lobby that there was no longer any doubt about the election of Justus C. Adams for speaker of the House. The course of events became so evident to ,the friends of W. H. Leedy that he was- advised to withdraw, leaving Marion county with only one candidate and him a winner, but he would not do so. Marshall Newhouse, of Greensburg, authorized the statement that he had withdrawn, and would support Adams. Willoughly ref jsed to leave the field. , Merritt alone is keeping up a stiff, earnest contest, and there is no doubt that his friends will stick to him as long as he desires. But it did not seem improbable last night that he would yield to the inevitable to-day and leave the nomination to be made by acclamation, as Stutesman's strength was wavering. The friends of Leedy declared that they had no dislike to Adams, and that they w ere supporting . Leedy because of previous promises,, and, that with him out of the race they would support Adams with great zeal. They promised to make their Influence felt for him to-day. George B. Cardwill, of New Albany, was in town, but was making ho strenuous effort for the post. He Is declared by his friends to have first-class qualifications for the office, and it is probable he will soon take his place as one of the leaders on the floor. Mr. Adams said last night that while he was certain of the nomination, he had made no promises to obtain the assistance of the friends of other candidates, and would treat all with fairness. His canvass has been marked by a refreshing absence . of personalities, and the canvas generally has been marked with excellent spirit. The House will be organized with the best feeling on the part of all the candidates. There is no doubt that those, who have been influential enough to carry some support for speaker will receive satisfactory treatment from Mr. Adams. Ben Prather authorized the statement last night that he had withdrawn from the contest for clerk of the House, leaving the field clear to Robert A. Brown, of Franklin. His nomination will be made by acclamation. For assistant clerk, Dr. J. C. Wright, of Russlaville, was in the lead. D. S. Durbin is an applicant now for this position, but he is handicapped by the fact that the speakershio is also to be located in Marion county. For doorkeeper, Downev still has the lead, but David L. Wright, of Washington county, was making strides'' to the front. He comes from the pocket district from which also Q. K. Groves hails, but he had a number of active and shrewd workers in his behalf. The fact that Downey comes from the same portion of the State that Brown, for clerk, comes from, was an argument used by friends ofSouthard. They said the doorkeeper ought to be taken from the northern part of the State. But the friend3 of southern candidates replied that this was offset by the state of affairs in the Senate where both the secretary, Mr. Oglesbie, and the probable doorkeeper. Captain Dubois, of Hamilton county, came from the north half. Those who interposed the geography of the situation as an argument were met with' the argument tha,t geography ousrht to cut very little figure with a two-months office in which there was the privilege of eighteen appointments of assistants wno could be distributed 'equally over the State. A conference was held, last night, by about twenty members of the House to determine upon action in reference to Messrs. Merritt, Cardwill. Holloway. Willoughby and Stutesman. They dealt with the rumors that they had decided to withdraw from the race for Speaker and reached a conclusion that they would announce themselves as still subject to the decision of the caucus. They then prepared the following card, which was signed by all of them, for publication in the Journal: "Rumors have been circulated to the effect that our several names had been withdrawn from the race for the speakershio of the House, we take th's method of making the emphatic statement that we nr candidate"? for that position and that our names will go before the caucus." Mr. Merritt was asked for a statement as to hi3 probable strength on the first ballot, and said: "I think I will.have, at leit twenty votes." The other members of this conference do not credit Willoughby with more than two votes, including his own. Previous to this withdrawal Mr. Leedy was claiming twelve votes. Mr. Stutesman's strength- was not stated positively, but some observing ones thousrht that he really hd more votes than Merritt. Adams's friends said at the last hour, before leaving for home, that some of thos whoe names are siemed to the cards will withdraw before the time of the caucus. Women's Council and Police Matron. The regular meeting of the Local Council of Women was held yesterday afternoon and there was a fair attendance. Mrs. Paulina Merritt was appointed to take the place on the legislative committee made vacant by Mrs. E. A. Blaker. The chief business of the meeting was the report of the corresponding secretary, who has been actively employed in sending out circulars to the members of the House and Senate relative to having police matrons appointed in all cities of the State of ten thousand or more inhabitants, and also to the suppression of wine rooms. Mrs. Jenckes read the proposed bill. A letter was read from Superintendent Powell, who said he had tried to reach the evil, but that it was not In his power, till some action was taken by the Legislature. Mrs. Anna Buchanan, the present police matron, made a report of a bill which she had drawn. The bill has been signed by nearly one hundred officials and by the entire Common Council. The Local Council also signed the bill through its officers as a whole and by the president of each of the forty-nine societies representing eight thousand women of this city interested in church, literary and social life. Copies of the bill will ba sent to the different societies for the signatures of individual members. The membership section of the constitution was amended to harmonize with that of - th National Council, and hereafter societies of men and women will be eligible to membership. Mrs. Sewall also notified the society that at the next meeting a motion would be introduced to create patronshins. This is equivalent to life membership. The fee will be $2tf. and men and women will be eligible. There will be a meeting of th

legislative committee Thursday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, in the directors' room at the Propylaeum. The members of the council are invited to Mrs. Sewall's home Saturday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, to meet Mrs. Strickland, of Chicago, who will talk on "Parliamentary Law and Usage." The State Librarian Contest. Owing to the Interest shown in the speakership contest, there has been but little taken in that of the contest for State Librarian. After the situation settled down into the probabilities last night the office of. State Librarian began to receive more attention. The matter will come up for decision at the joint caucus Friday night. Miss Baker, of this city, was believed to be in the lead though the multitude of candidates made it impossible to locate favorites. Ida May Davis has some of the leading men in the western part of the State working in her interest. Mrs. Davidson, of Peru, has a strong support among the party leaders In the north half of Che State. The first thing to be settled will be whether the Librarian shall be a man or a woman, but the representatives say that the appointee will have to win by reason of merit and not by favor. There was some talk of placing the selection of a Librarian in the hands of the State Board of Education, but it was not believed that this sentiment would prevail. Will Make His Son a Face. . Senator Baker has a little difficulty on his hands over a piece of patronage in which he appears, it is charged, as a nepotist. He came to the city having the candidacy of a newspaper man of Gas City for enrolling clerk In charge, and by courtesy of the Senate could have made his friend successful in the pursuit of the position. But he found he could not secure the appointment for the newspaper man and at the same time have his son made a page. He did not hesitate to abandon the cause of the friend in favor of the lad, and hence the disappointment of some of the Grant county leaders who wanted the newspaper man, whose party support, they say, is more deserving than the favor to the boy to be successful. The matter of appointment ot pages is figuring in the support of certain Senators and Representatives, and each case has the nepotistic flavor. The Benevolent Appropriations. A circular has been printed giving the figures of recommendation for appropriations for the various State institutions by the State Board of Charities. The total amount asked for on account of maintenance for the two years Is $1,183,336, and the specific appropriations for improvements is $268,885. The Eastern Hospital for the Insane asks for $100,000 for new buildings. It reports that there are over 160 applications for admission which cannot.be granted. The circular shows the cost of provisions to the various institutions. For instance, fresh beef at the Central Hospital for the Insane costs $4.78 per hundred ponuds, and $7.50 at the Institute for Blind. Ooft'ee co3ts the State orphans' home at Knightstown 40 cents a pound and 15 cents at the prison north.

. Nine Congreswnten-Elect Here. J. D. Leighty, congressman-elect from the Twelfth district, arrived last night, leaving only Johnson, of the Sixth; Hanly, of the Ninth; Hatch, of the Tenth, and Royse, of the Thirteenth, absent. The presence of the members of the next Congress is in accordance with the arrangements made at the reception, by Mr. Steele, at his home in Marion. It was then announced that the bill redisricting the State for congressional purposes would be completed by Senator Vail, who will be chairman of the Senate committee on this subject, and it was understood he had promised the representatives a chance for a hearing. It is probable that the bill, when approved by the members of the national House, will be passed early in the session. All but Congressman Johnson are expected to arrive to-day. Jackson Day Verse. The Bald-headed Glee Club entertained the statesmen in the Denison Hotel lobby, yesterday afternoon. Burgess Brown had composed a new verse, to the air of "Sweet Marie." It ran thus: This Is the day we celebrate, Grover dear; This is January eighth, Grover dear; They call it Jackson day, But Dan Voorhees staid away, Though we have our Pussy Gray, Grover dear. Your Bynum and your Holman are not in it. When you get a black cat, skin it. The lesson of last fall Should teach the tariff tinkers all. To heed the writing on the wall, Grover dear. Will Present Ills Old Claim. W. H. Drapiei. of this city, will renew his claim before the Legislature for services for publishing the proceedings of the Legislature for the past fifteen years. He has printed these reports for thirty-seven years and has received no pay for it for fifteen years. He maintains that the work was ordered by the Legislature and that the State owes him $50,000. He will endeavor to have a bill presented making an appropriation to pay the claim. Many Cona;reinmen-Eleet Here. Congressman-elect George W. Steele arrived yesterday. Other Congressmen present were Henry, of the Seventh district; Hardy, of the Second; Watson, of the Fourth; Hemenway, of the First; OverFtreet, of the F.fth, and Faris, of the Eighth. Hon. Henry U. Johnson, of the Sixth district, is tied up in a trial at Richmond. The Governor' Mesuo;e Completed. Governor Matthews yesterday completed his message. It makes a document of fifteen thousand words, and is as long as that of President Cleveland, to the present session of Congress. It will require nearly two hours to read It. This ordeal, for both Governor and the Legislature, will occur Friday morning, at 10 o'clock. In the Intefcitt of Labor. The Central Labor Union will attempt to get a bill through the Legislature prohibiting the employment in factories of any person under fourteen years of age. It Is claimed that children often fill positions that would otherwise be given to men at correspondingly more pay. Xotes of Legislators. Ex-Congressman Frank B. Posey was one of the arrivals yesterday. C. B. Landis arrived and joined in the contest in favor of Mr. Stutesman. "Billy" Wilson, one of the hustlers at Fort Wayne, is using all his powers and friendships for candidate Merritt. Mr. Merrit has another persuasive champion in Mr. Snow, of Lagrange. Among the well-known politicians seen about the Republican headquarters yesterday were ex-United States Treasurer Nebeker and ex-Superintendent of Public Instruction LaFoIlette. Master Ernest Atherton, of No. 131 West Ohio street, was seeking the acquaintance of members yesterday for the appointment as official newsboy. He is a bright youth and made many friends. Jerome Armintrout, of Fairfield, was taken seriously ill last night In the hotel lobby with an attack of heart failure. Some friends took him to his room, where he recovered rapidly from the indisposition. Hon. J. N. Huston. ex-Treasurer of the United States, was a prominent figure in the hotel lobby yesterday. He said he was taking no part in the contest for Speaker but thought the indications all pointed to Adams. Warren G. Sayre. of Wabash, the last Speaker elected by the Republicans, was one of the interested spectators in the lobby. He says it was from force of habit and has nothing to do with the executive bee that he is charged with entertaining. Harry H. Hoover, of Richmond, formerly foreman of the Palladium composing room, is making a strong fight for doorkeeper of the House. The Sixth district is elving him its solid support, and his candidacy is in the hands of Senator Shively, John B. Hernly and other prominent men of the district. Noah T. Rogers, editor of the Greensburg Standard, arrived yesterday to help his friend Newhouss in the speakership fight. There aref only three Republican members from the Fourth district, but Newhouse's managers said they would receive a large number of votes from other part3 of the State. Harry D. Bertsch, of Richmond, is a candidate for one of the clerkships of the House. Clerk Brown will have eight appointments at his disposal and as soon as it became known last night that he no longer ihad opposition, the friends of candidates began to demand all his time. It is believed that he will distribute the appointments pretty well over the State. Senator McCutcheon, whose resemblance to the late Gov. Hovey Is striking, was generally the center of a somewhat animated conversation with a group of friends. He said that he was for Miss Baker for State Librarian. "Her father was a friend to me," he said, "when I needed friends, and I have told her that she need not electioneer me, that I was for her." RheumUsm Is primarily caused by acidity of the blood.

FOR NEW DISPENSARY

DR. WISHARD'S ADDRESS TO MARION COr.YTY MEDICAL SOCIETY. He Appeals to It Member in the Interest of a New City Dispensary Bnlldlna. The Marion County Medical Society held its annual meeting at the courthouse last night. The annual address was delivered" by the president. Dr. William N. Wishard. In his paper Dr. Wishard reviewed a part of the work done by the society In the past, and discussed at length a few plans for the future of the society. Concerning the latter he said: "There are other directions in which this society has obligations besides the reading and discussion of scientific papers and the stimulation of interest in its own organization. Notable among these may be mentioned Its duty to take a more active interest In municipal sanitary matters. It has for a long time been a matter of regret that our local vital statistics have been practically valueless and that inquiries from the department at Washington, D. C. have elicited little or no Information. The city Board of Health has recently suggested a plan of relief and presented it to the Mayor's cabinet and the committee of citizens who are now considering the city charter, and the suggestions have been incorporated in the recommendations to the Legislature, which body will be asked to amend the charter in accordance with the board's suggestions. The board advises the appointment of a city sanitarian who must be a medical graduate and a specialist in sanitary science, such officer to be appointed by the Board of Health and under it's control. His duties should be to attend to sanitary affairs of the city and have command of the sanitary police and make full reports of all matters relating to this department. He should be competent to make sanitary analyses and bacteriological examinations and his whole time should be given to the work. "Such a plan has worked well elsewhere and this line of work is recognized to be of such practical importance that it has become a separate department of instruction in some of our universities. It is desirable that this society give it's active support to this reform and I would recommend that the members use their influence with the Legislature to secure favorable action upon the proposed amendment to the city charter. "It may not be inappropriate at this time to call attention to the fact that this society should have a permanent and more suitable place of meeting and I trust I will not be regarded as visionary if I suggest a plan which would accomplish the desired result and not involve any expenditure of money on the part of our members. It is simply that a united effort be made, by every member of the Marion County Medical 'Society, to induce the city authorities to erect a new building for the city dispensary. The present building is disgracefully inadequate for the purposes of such work and has practically no provision for the proper presentation of clinical material to the two or three hundred medical students who annually bring thousands of dollars to the city. Such a building, besides relieving the city of the stigma which the present one casts upon the reputation of our municipality, would also afford a good ampihitheater for clinical purposes, and this amphitheater would afford the best possible place for holding the regular meetings of this society." Dr. Albert Sterne introduced a resolution to the effect that the Legislature be aked to make some changes in the laws governing inquest for sanity, but it seemed to be the opinion of the medical men that the laws could not be bettered and the resolution was tabled. The session closed with the election of the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Dr. H. O. Panzer; vice president, Dr. H. N. Nash: secretary, Dr. F. C. Heath; treasurer, Dr. H. A. Densan. . . POPULIST EDITORS DID NOT COME The Few That Arrived Would Not Let Their Name lie Known. The meeting of the People's party editors at English's last night was not very enthusiastic. A fortnight ago, when the secretary of the Populist State committee sent out invitations to the "reform press" over the State it was hoped that at least half of the publications would 'be represented, "but the anticipations of the committee were faintly realized. Of the twenty-six Populist newspapers in the State but four or five were represented. Those editors who did come placed themselves in the hand of the committee, and the committee declined to give out the names of the reform brethren. They said It would discourage the cause to allow the failure of the meeting to become known. It was not the intention, a Populist said yesterday, to make war on the unenlightened press of the State. The meeting was to be solely in the interests of Populist literature and to devise plans for swelling subscription lists. A short session was held last night, presided over by Silas M. Shepard. The meeting Was spiritless and adjourned without any defmite plan of action. EIGHT NEW PATROLMEN. Leonard Crane Made Sergeant to Fill Bnrlow'M Place.

Hill, a women's tailor at 42 North Illinois street, was responsible for an embarrassing incident which marred the marriage ceremony of Joseph P. Phelan and Miss Mary B. Towner, which occurred yesterday noon at 919 North Meridian street. Hill alleged that Miss Towner owed him $24 on account for a wedding outfit, which she had ordered.

The circumstances were explained to Cook and ho politely withdrew, but Hill was determined to have hi money. The family produced a bill receipted, "paid in full.

The dispensary physicians were called ta a strange case at 5 Grove street yesterday. Early in the morning, a telephone message received at the dispensary, asked that a doctor be sent to - that number. Dr. Hoskins was detailed on the case and he found Mabel Ballard, a young girl living there with her mother, suffering from morphine poisoning. The patient was in a precarious condition when Dr. Hoskins arrived, anil he had to work for several hours before reviving her. The indications are that th girl, who Is but fifteen years old, took the poisonous drug with suicidal intent, becausa her mother had scolded her. Monday night, the girl had company, and the young people had made a great deal of nise. keep ing Mrs. Ballard awake and causing her much worry. When she arose yesterday morning she spoke to her daughter, and on account of her age, forbade her receiving more company. The girl took the advice to heart and soon afterward left tha house. She purchased 10 cents worth of morphine and took about half of it. She soon became drowsy and the suspicions of her relations were aroused. She admitted she had taken the drug-, but would give no reason, so her mother thinks It was because of the advice and talk which she gave her. Dr. Hoskins thinks the patient will recover. Will Call Special Election. Governor Matthews concluded, yesterday, that he would call a special election for prosecuting attorney in Knox county, where the vote was a tie between Jonathan Keith and his Democratic opponentHe has about decided upon Jan. 29 as tha date. There is some question In the minds of Mr. Keith and his friends whether this gives time for the sheriff to post the notices, as required by law. Mr. Keith and Captain Wilton, county chairman, were at the Denison yesterday. Mr. Keltii said that several of his relatives, wha did not appreciate the fact that one vole would count, failed to vote, and have since bee? spending much time in regret. He will make a strong effort to be elected. It 13 believed the Populists and the Prohibitionists will not nominate candidates for thia contest.
