JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind.. Jan. 21. As a result of the death of business and likewise, of employment in this city, it has undergone an epidemic of raffles during the last few months. Persons who have hitherto been regarded as being very comfortably situated as regards this world's goods may be seen on the streets soliciting purchasers for chances on some of thefr possessions which they desire for various reasons to part with, and regard this as the only way in which to get a reasonable price for the same. A great many persons resort to the ralfle in order to secure a reasonable price for some of their personal property which at public sale would not bring one-half its value. But a great majority adopt thi3 wav of making a sale because the law of necessity demands that by some hook or crook they realize the largest possible sum. The kinds of property thus put up for disposal are varied. Horses, carriages, watches, rings, musical Instruments of various kinds, bicycles and dozens of other articles have been offered. One man even disposed of a favorite "hunting dog" In this manner. Often have the owners of the property been seen to transfer it to the lucky bidder with tears in their eyes, caused by parting with an article which may have been given them by some departed relative or friend, or else has associated with it something which under other circumstances they would not part with for treble its value. .

BRITAIN'S DEAD L0ED

NEWSPAPER ESTIMATES OP THE LATE RAXDOLPH CHIRCHILL. Where He First Met His American Wife Funeral to Be Held Xext MondayGeneral Forclsn Xevrs. LONDON. Jan. 24. Winston Churchill, the eldest son of the late Lord Randolph Churchill, informed a reporter to-day that his father's death was most peaceful and painless. During the morning a private funeral service for the family only was held at the residence on Grosvenor Square. The remains will be Interred on Monday next at Bladon Church, near Blenheim, where the two younger brothers of the deceased are buried. The mother of the late Lord Randolph Churchill, Frances Ann Emily, Duchess of Marlborough, wife of the seventh Duke of Marlborough, is seriously ill. A recent writer, ' in telling how Lord Churchill first met the woman who was to be his wife, says: "Lady Randolph Churchill, who won fame because of her political aid to her husband, is the second of Mr. Leonard Jerome's daughters, all of whom were married to Englishmen. The youngest of Mr. Jerome's daughters, Leonie, was married to Sir John Leslie. Lady Randolph Churchill is considered the brightest of the family. She is brilliant, fiery and highstrung, with plenty of pluck and dash one of the foremost amateur pianists, and at the same time one of the most intrepid followers of the hounds of the day. Friends of her say she is so full of life and magnetism that a touch fromJier hand makes you tingle with sympathetic magnetism. In conversation she is spirited and original. Miss Jerome met Lord Randolph Churchill for the first time at a dinner in Paris. After dinner she sakl to her sister, referring to Lord Randolph, That's the brightest man I ever met, and I'm going to marry him!' It is reported that Lord Churchill made an almost identical remark concerning her. At all events they became engaged almost immediately after their meeting, and were married shortly aiterward. From his wife's property Lord Randolph's income was considerably increased, Mr. Jerome having conveyed to her at the time of her marriage the property upon which the University Club in New York stands. During the late Duke of Marlborough's residence In Ireland Lord and Lady Randolph resided there also, and the latter was immensely popular. Lord Randolph's rather considerate views on Irish questions are supposed to be the result of his wife's influence. Lady Randolph as a musician is especially noted for her playing of Chopin's works, which she invests with a romance and poetry entrancing to all who appreciate his music. In figure she 13 petite, her hair is curly and brown, and her eyes of the same color. She dresses in admirable taste." In an editorial the London Times says that the premature death of Lord Randolph Churchill will fill with regret and pity the hearts of Englishmen throughout the world. His character was marked by defects that were almost as striking as his merits. His gravest and most conspicuous fault was his apparent want of general principles in the formation of his policy and the guidance of his conduct. He was content to fight the battle of the day. and rarely looked to the future. His story Is a sad one. and not without impressive lessons to ambitious men of all parties. The Standard says: "Lord Randolph Churchill shipwrecked his career not because he lacked notability, but character." The Dally News says that Lord Randolph had many faults of temper and character. He was not high minded. He was neither a steadfast friend nor a loyal colleague, but now that it is possible to realize the peculiarities of his constitution and his physical ailments, a larger and more charitable judgment will be passed on him by the world. All the papers publish similar expressions of regret and comments on his shortcomings. Groans for Tim Healy. DUBLIN, Jan. 24. Timothy Healy tonight addressed a meeting in the Town Hall at Kingston on the subject of the disputes in the Irish parliamentary party. The meeting was marked by serious disorders. The police were twice compelled to interfere to stop the fighting among the audience. The disturbers were finally ejected. Mr. Healy exorted his hearers to respect the memory of Lord Randolph Churchill, wtho had been an honest Tory and a good friend of Ireland. Mr. Healy denounced the Redmondites as having fallen into a state of putrification. He declared against subservience to any English party, and suggested some reunion to exclude Tories from the Dublin seats in the House of Commons. On leaving the Town Hall Mr. Healy was greeted with groans by a large crowd that had assembled outside. A number of policemen escorted him to the railway station. Bank Deficit of 552,!0S. LONDON, Jan. 24. At a meeting of the shareholders of the National Bank of Wales, at Cardiff, which bank was purchased in 1893 by the Metropolitan Bank for 110,000, the liquidator announced that an examination of the accounts showed a deficit of 552,938. Large sums had been squandered in bourse speculations. The balance sheet had been altogether fallacious. The profits made at the branches had been lost by mismanagement at headquarters. The Metropolitan Bank, owing to the discovery of a transaction involving 30.000, in which three directors of the National Bank 'were concerned, refused to take over all the liabilities in the latter concern..- A resolution to prosecute the officials was adopted.

Massey was covered by the bandits, as was also conductor Harris, who had come out In the meantime. They took the money Harris had on his person. ' After an Ineffectual attempt to open the safe the bandits compelled the messenger to assist them. The amount taken i3 estimated at $25,000. A. watch and chain taken from conductor Harris were returned to him on his assurance that they belonged to him Individually. It is thought that members of the Cook gang No. 2 who were implicated in the recent train robbery near Ogamaw, Ark., and released for want of proof, are the men who did the job. They remarked, when leaving, to the officers: "You have the laugh on us this time, but we will come again," and it seems they made good their threat. The passengers were not molested or was any one hurt by the bandits. MARY A. LIVE till ORE. Interesting Career of a Woman Identified with Many Reforms. Boston Letter in New York Times. Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, who recently announced that she was about to retire from the lecture platform, has been in the public eye for the last two generations as the advocate and champion of all the great reforms for the amelioration of the condition of her sex. But perhaps her greatest work, and that for which she will be longest remembered, was her earnest labors during the civil war for the betterment of the condition of the soldiers. It would be impossible to give an" adequate idea of the work that she did a work that has endeared her name to every soldier. Wrhile Mrs. Livermore says that she does not propose to devote so much of her time as hitherto to lecturing, she does not intend to retire absolutely from the field, and will unquestionably be heard occasionally in and about Boston. She is anxious to devote the majcr portion of her time to certain literary work which she has in hand. Mrs. Livermore's maiden name was Rice, and she was born in this city of Welsh parents, Dec. 19, 1821. She was noted in childhood for resolution and restless activity, being foremost in all healthful outdoor sports, and also remarkable for proficiency In her studies. She was a pupil and for some time a teacher in the Charlestown Female Seminary. At the age of eighteen she went as governess to Virginia, much against the will of her father, who had the old-fashioned idea that a woman's place was at home, and that she should never take the guidance of her life into her own hands; but she was self-willed and went, and was successful. She remained South for a couple of years, and then taught at Dux'bury, Mas3. There she met Daniel I. Livermore, a Universallst clergyman, whom she married and accompanied successively to Stafford, Conn.; Maiden and Weymouth, Mass.; Auburn, N. Y., and Quincy, 111., in which places he had pastorates. In 1857 he became the editor and publisher of tne New Covenant, in Chicago. During this time Mrs. Livermore wrote frequently for the periodicals of her denomination, and edited the Lily, besides assisting her husband for twelve years as associate in his editorial work. While a resident of Chicago she 'became identified with various movements in the cause of reform. She early became Interested in the condition of the soldiers, and in 1862 was appointed one of the agents of the Northwestern feranch of the United States Sanitary Commission, which had then been recently established 1n Chicago. During that year she traveled extensively throughout the Northwest, everywhere organizing sanitary aid societies. In the following December she attended a council of the National Sanitary Commission at Washington, and the next spring was ordered to make a tour of the hospitals and military posts on the Mississippi. At this time sanitary supplies were low. and the most serious results at the Vicksburg camps were feared, but by personal appeals, by circulars and by untiring persistence and enthusiasm she secured Immediate relief. Mrs. Livermore also took an active part in the organization1 bf the great Northwestern Sanitary fair in Chicago, in 1S63, from which nearly $100,000 was secured for the purpose of the association. She obtained the original draft of his Emancipation Proclamation from President Lincoln, which sold for $3,000. Since the war Mrs. Livermore has labored earnestly in the woman suffrage and temperance movements, appearing almost constantly on the platform. In 1870 and 1871 she edited in Boston the Woman's Journal. Her success as lecturer before lyeeums has been unusual. At a time when those institutions were at the height of their popularity she was one of the four lecturers who were most in demand, and who commanded the largest fees, the other three being men. For years she spoke five nights a week for five months in the year, traveling 25,000 miles annually. Among her more popular lectures are, "What Shall We Do with Our Daughters?" "Women of the War," and "The Moral Heroism of the Temperance Reform." The first of those has been Issued in book form. In spite of her constant work, upon the platform, Mrs. Livermore has written a number of books. Among them "Pen Pictures," and "Thirty Years Too Late," a temperance tale. A few years ago she published an elaborate volume telling of her experiences during the war. Mrs. Livermore's quiet, unpretending New England home Is in the town of Melrose, where she lives with her husband and her sister. There are few women of the day who have known and been intimately associated with so many of the great menreformers and thinkers of the last fifty years. Mrs. Livermore, although she is well past the meridian of life, is s:ill in excellent health, and Is as enthusiastic for the philanthropic movements with which she has been so closely identified as she-ever was. "Of Mrs. Livermore's face, which is very fine," said Mrs. Ward not many years ago,' "it is not easy to say the right word. Regular features, grave, gray eyes and the warmest smile in the world, stay by the memory, but chiefly this that one ha3 seen the most motherly face which the Lord ever made. As she pleads for her own sex, crying patience for its weakness, justice for its wrongs and compassion on its woes, her expression rises to one of inspired solemnity, then melts into a strong tenderness, which reminds one of wiat was said of the face of George Eliot that 'she looked as if she bore the sorrow of all tne earth.' " A Saloon Keeper Protests. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: While I agree with the principles of the city administration bill, there is on a feature which I do not approve of, and which, in my opinion, will do a great injury to a number of saloon men who are economio and who wish to do a straight business. The clause I speak of is, that an applicant's place of business must not be connected with a dwelling. For instance, in 18S1 1 built a two-story brick building, one hundred feet in length, which cost a good deal of money. I took possession of the premises tn 1SS2 for a saloon, at the same time occupying the upper rooms for a dwelling. Since 1882 it has been, my only wish to keep within the bounds of the law, strictly prohibiting gamblings of any kind, lewd characters and blackguardism; also positively refusing to sell to. minors and to

drunkards, and to the Intoxicated men. 1 also take pride in saying that during these thirteen years I have not been fined once nor received a single rebuke from the authorities of the law. Therefore, I consider it a hardship, after all these years of carefulness, that through a single clause I should be compelled to eave my own dwelling and rent another house, perhaps half a mile away, leaving an amount of valuable property to tlie mercy of burglars. Is not this a hardship? I have observed the Sunday law strictly, but what does it avail when drug stores are wide open and can positively be proved to be selling pints, half pints and drinks? M. A.

English's "Aladdin Jr." "Aladdin Jr.," the wonderful and widelyheralded, representing the brightest conception of David Henderson's genius for extravaganza productions, unfolded its dazzling brilliance at English's Opera House last night. Language too extravagant could hardly be found to describe some of the scenic splendor of this latest creation from the Chicago Opera House stage. The two most striking effects are attained in the ballet scenes of the second and fourth acts. The motif tone, if so it might be termed, of the first of these is amber. Heightened by the effect of twelve calciums this scene is rendered positively stunning to the sense of sight. The entire stage is framed in amber-tinted - foliage, richer than any autumn hue in nature. The very floor, by means of the powerful reflectors, is made to take the color of encompassing scenery so that the graceful dancers beem to be treading on a carpeting ot amber bronze. The fundamental tones of in 3 great scene in the fouth act are ebonv and gold. The ballet costumes in both scenes ere harmonious in color and richness and really surpass any former stage pictures which Henderson has presented in this Mty. The scenic feature of "Aladdin Jr." is mentioned first for the reason that it is really the dominating feature. It is a question whether the pretty, but not exceptional music, adds much to the general impression. In addition to the greatest scenic show, "Aladdin, Jr.,' is given with one of the greatest and most expensive companies David Henderson has ever put. on the road. While many of the old familiar faces are recognized, there are a number of new ones, chief among whom is John Burk, late of the variety stage. Mr. Burke is leading comedian, holding the rank which that incomparable American buffoon, Eddie Foy, held with the company for years. To compare Burke with Foy would be out of place. One is a born clown and laugh maker, while the other is an Irish comedian and an essentially different sort of character. An extravaganza without a clown seems for the moment to be lacking a very important character, and so it does. Say what you will, give the talented Burke all the praise he deserves, and the fact remains that there is no clown in "Aladdin, Jr." Mr. Burke has played three successive seasons in this city at the Empire, and every opportunity has been offered to study his method. He demonstrated at the Empire how many laughs could be crowded into twenty minutes or so of continuous fun. Last night he demonstrated that this same twenty minutes of fund when sprinkled through a three hour3' performance does not produce the same furore. With the exception of one and possibly two amusing bits, all the business employed by Burke in "Aladdin, Jr.," is an old story in this city. It may be that the extravaga'nt notices of Mr. Burke's f unmaking that have been read since his debut in extravaganzarather made one expect too much, but the truth is, many were disappointed. He was funnier in "Hades and the 400." Frankie Raymond's "Alabama Coon" song was the hit last night, and the men went out of the theater whistling the air. Anna Boyd, in the role of Aladdin, made a charming picture and sang well. She renders "Her Golden Hair Was Hanging Down Her Back" with great descriptive power, so that those who have heard so much about the "Sly Jane" who saw the sights in a great city, got a real insight into the character . of this much-talked about maiden. The other principal parts In the cast were well taken and deserve mora than ordinary mention. Ada Deaves has a character bit in Wridow Bohea that is better done than any of her former burlesque feminine roles. Both Allene Crater and . Irene Verona are flesh and blood princesses in their parts, and beautiful to behold. Two clever comedians in the cast are Turner and Murphy, as the Widow's assistants. They sing a comical duet, and, with Burke, give the Three Oklahoma Sports. One of the best parts in "Aladdin, Jr.," is the big black eat Lucifer, which appears in a number of the scenes, and will be a great source of amusement to the children. It is a role taken by David Abrahams. The entire cast follows: Aladdin, Jr Anna Boyd Chee Kee.. Frankie M. Raymond Badroulbadour , Allene Crater Widow Bohea Ada Deaves Oolong Irene Verona Ki Yi Albert Ftoom Chow Chow John E. Cain Abanazar Henry Norman Crambo , ....John J.

Crowded houses greeted the now melodrama "Temptation of Money." at tne Park yesterday. It is unusually elaborate so far as scenery goes and the company gives a good' sensational performance. Act first opens with a very elaborate set, representing Sir Gilbert's library, at "Aubryn Tower," near London, England. Act second Is a series of Interesting situations occupied by the great draw-lfridse set, and during the action of this act an electric car, carrying passengers, crosses and recrosses on the bridge. The bridge is swung open, and a tug-boat, twenty-five feet long, with real steam effect, whistle, etc., tows a full rigged three-masted schooner, sixty fet long, across the stage. This act closes with a startling realistic effect, the plunge of the electric car into the river below. The climax of this act treated enthusiasm yesterday that is seldom seen in the Park. Act third opens with the interior view of Sing Sing prison, giving an exact stage ricture of this famous prison. The Bci-ne changes to. the death chamber, presenting a reproduction of the electrocution room, also introducing a fMsimlle of the electric chair, which is used In producing one of the most thrilling situations of the play.

four represents Sir Gilbert's mansion, "Aubryn Towers," giving a faithful picture of this famous residence. This stage betting with the spreading oak tree is one of the most artistic ever presented in melo-drama. Thist together with the costumes worn by the characters assembled for a grand masque ball, is a fitting close for an Interesting production. "Lost in New York" comes Monday. Tom Gould and Georue Appo. , Fifteen years ago Augustin Daly produced a play called "Around the Clock," and, In a dive scene, engaged a notorious crook and prize-fighter to add realism. In "In the Tenderloin," the notorious "Tom" Gould, the ex-proprletor of the infamous "Sans Souci" saloon, and George Appo, the ex-green-goods operator, appear and supply a good deal of the realism. George Appo is the famous Chinese-American ex-green-goods operator, whose sensational evidence before the Lexow committee was the talk of the country. His throat was cut after his examination was finished, by some of the ruffians he "gave away." This NewYork melodrama will be seen at English's. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights " and Wednesday matinee. Trouhle of an Actress. LONDON, . Jan. 21. Maud Branscombe. -the actress who a dozen years ago, was well known, throughout the United States, more on account of the fine photographs which were taken of herself than because of her artistic ability, was at Bow-street Tolice Court this afternoon in support of a summons which she had previously taken out against Alexander Hamilton Gunn, described as "a company promoter," and who is said to be known in Canada. Miss Branscombe charges Gunn with using threats towards her, and it has been stated; that he has gone so far as to beat her. t She-said that her irregular association with.

The defense of Gunn was that the charges were an attempt to blackmail him. Mr. Gunn was bound over to keep the peace for twelve months, and was required to find a surety in 200 for his good behavior during that period. Madame Pnttilll. LONDON, Jan. 24. A dispatch to the Standard from Vienna says that Madam Patti became chilled when leaving a concert vin that city and has fdnce kept to her bed. She is suffering with pharyngeal catarrh.

"Jane," by one of Gus Frohman's companies, is the Grand's next attraction, opening Monday night, while English's will have "In the Tenderloin" at the same time. ' Mr. Thomas J. Myers, representing "Friends," and Mr. Al. McLean, agent for "In the Tenderloin," are in the city, and had their first peep at "Aladdin, Jr.," last night. The "Aladdin, Jr.." matinee to-morrow should be one of the largest ever known here, as every child is familiar with this gorgeously staged story from "Arabian Nights." The advance sale for to-nlghc and to-morrow night is good. ; The Empire Specialty Company, under management of James E. Fennessy, at the Empire next week, includes the funny comedians. Ryan and Rltchtield; the acrobats, the Judge Brothers; Bernard Dyllyn. descriptive vocalist; Charles and Corinne Carter, eccentric prestidlgitateurs; Marlon and Pearl, comedians; Lottie West Simmonds and others.

The insanity commission showed that he had been an inmate of hospitals for the insane, both in Illinois and Michigan. Controller Truster May Sue for Libel. Controller Trusler Is objecting to an editorial which appeared dn the German Telegraph Jan. 22, in which he is held accountable for the recent Council investigation, and in which it was intimated that Mr. Trusler did wrong in celling bonds without first advertising.

Coroner Castor was called to 129 Relsner street, West Indianapolis, yesterday, where E. E. Cooney, a six-year-old boy, had died suddenly.
