PettisDryGoodsCo ' ' AMUSEMENTS. The Sehlleweu Concert. Another musical treat by the Kchliewen Quartet was enjoyed by an appreciative audience last evening. The members of the organization, Mr. Schlicwen, Miss Schrader, Mr, Koster and Mr. Schellschmidt, have been playing so long together that their work Is aa nearly perfect in attack and tustenuto as It is possible for it to be. The numbers chosen for the programme last evening were replete with merit, being some of the finest compositions of chamber music. The first selection was a "quartet by Volkmann. - This was admirably presented with true musklanly interpretation, and was listened to with rapt attention. Mr. Schlicwen was heard in a violin solo, played with finish in technique and artistic conception. Ar' a compost r ue was heard Jn hi arrangement of Gounod's "Funeral Marche of a Marionette." Schubert, who Is one of the most sympathetic writers of chamber music, was represented by two iiartet one C minor (unfinished) and the other one in D minor. A "Berceuse," by Kjerulf, was the other number on the programme. Acw Xante for "Church aid Stajjre.' A good story, says the San Francisco News Letter, is told concerning the play of "Church and Stage," which was produced recently at' the Bush-street Theater. A few days before the Initial performance an old lady appeared at the box office. "Give me two seats for 'Heaven ami Hell'" was her startling demand "one for dw and one 'for my son." "Wrhat!" gasped the astonished ticket agent. "Good Lord, she's a lunatic!" "Two seats," continued the old lady, severely, "for the new piece that's coming out here this week. Young man, are you deaf?" "Madam," returned the clerk, with his loftiest air, "the new piece Is called 'Church and Stage,' not 'Heave and Hell.' " The old lady stared at him a moment, then quietly remarked; "Well, I guess it's all the same anyway, so give mq the tickets" - ! On trnl Christian Church Concert. One of ths best miscellaneous concerts of the reason will be given this evening at the Central Christian Church. There have been very few concerts given this season by Auntie lairiut- .fiiiiirijj iiiv n nu n i v j ici rvv part are Mrs. Carolyn Winter Goetz, Mrs. II. II. Howland, " Mrs. Harriet Augusta, Prunk.

PHILADELPHIA, March 19. The Germania Tlieater, this city, has been suddenly closed aa a result, it is given out, of financial trouble and the elopement of the leading man and woman ' of the company, Hans Heinrich Schelfsky and Martha George. The theater opened this season last September under the management of Joseph K Metzger, but did not prosper. Its credit-, ors were lenient, however, and things ran on haltingly until Sunday last, when neither Schelfsky nor Miss George appeared at rehearsal. An investigation disclosed the fact that neither of the stars had been- at their respective homes the night before, and the company then disbanded. Last night Mrs. Schelfsky received a letter saying that her husband "had gone with the lady and would not return." ' - Mnrle nurroagh') After n Divorce. SAM VIlANnsrf March' 13 Mrie Rnr. roughs Is the latest theatrical star to attract attention in divorce courts. Five days ago, during her engagement as leading lady in the - company playing "The, Profligate and "Judah," she quietly made application in the Superior Court for a legal separation from her husband, Louis Frederick Mason. The complaint simply charges neglect and infidelity and attracted no attention when it was tiled. A strange feature, of the case is that Mason and his complaining wife, are members of the same company and appear on the stage together nightly. Marie Burroughs is a California girl. In her younger days in Vasalia-and San Jote she was known as Lillie Arlington. - Potters Field May Be Her Grave. PHILADELPHIA. March 19.-Geneive Howard, a former well-known actress, died yesterday in a hospital here, of injuries received by falling down stairs at her lodging house, in this city, on Feb. 21, aged 'fifty years.

DEAD ANIMAL STENCH

MAYOR'S ISPLEASAXT DISCOVERY DOW5 AT SELLERS FARM. Carcasses Left Exposed Treating; Sight Soil TTjth Marl Appointment of a City Sanitarian. Mayor Denny, accompanied by the members of the Board of Works, Drs. Hays and Jameson of the Board of Health, and J. N. Hurty, city chemist, visited the garbage crematory and Sellers farm yesterday afternoon. The crematory was visited first. Several lo3ds of garbage were brought in while the party was there and dumped Into the furnace. Everything was clean about the place and there were no odors. The Inspecting party was very well satisfied wUh this part of the garbage company's plant, but at Sellers farm it was different. There , no attempt has ever been made to comply with the terms of the contract, except two or three efforts which were merely In the nature of esperlr-'nts. The members of the party were surpilsed, however, to find that the night soil, yjHJsed in the open trenches, as it was In several, which were not yet ready to be covered, gave out so little offensive odor. The opinion prevailed tjat the little odor which came from the place could hardly be called unsanitary, as It did not extend a hunired feet from the open trenches. . Burying night soil 1s vf ry unsatisfactory as a permanent means of disposing of It and Mr. Bachman mad a proposition embodying his plans for the future. He proposes to build a number of sheds in the extreme south end of the farm, where the night soil will be treated and prepared for fertilizer. Mr. Bachman his shipped a large quantity of marl from Ohio, wr.ich he will mix with the night soil, and then place the mixture on shelves under the sheds to dry, after which it will be sold for fertilizer. Marl contains a larg; proportion of carbonate of lime, which v.Ul prevent any odor arising while the mixture is drying and will also, add to its value as a fertilizer. This proposition will be considered at the Cabinet meeting to-night Dr. Jameson and - Dr. Hays will discuss the question to-day, and. after considering, the various propositions they have received, will submit the entire matter to the cabinet with recommendations. . .Mayor Denny was very much displeased with the manner in which Rauh & Sons are carrying out their contract for the disposition of dead animals from the city. He said he found sixty or seventy dead animals lying on the ground at the farm. Some of them had been skinned and others had not. He said he was informed that some of them were carcesses of horses whiih were burnei in the Scudder livery stable fire, which occurred nearly two months ago. He described the stench from them as "horrible," and said something must be done to remedy the matter. This question will also be considered by the cabinet to-night. LOCAL TELEPIIOK WAIt, Phoenix , Company Asks the AV'orks Board for a Franchise. The Indianapolis Phoenix Telephone Company was represented before the Board of Works yesterday by John W. Bowlus, A. B. Gates, B. K. Seyfers, G. C. Webster and George W. Stout. Mr. Gates stated the object of the visit to be to arrange a conference for some future time when the board would consider a proposition which thu new company Man ted to make the city. Mr. Gates said the company had secured nearly two thousand subscribers. The terms of thv3 proposition were not discussed, but in an informal manner Mr. Holton told the men that the city would .expect a proposition which would include, the cost on one hundred or more telephones for the use of the eity. Wires must be placed under ground In the business portion of the city.' rates to subscribers must b3 stated and the amount which the company is willing to pay the city for the use of the streets. , A week from to-morrow was named as the time for the new company to submit a proposition to the city, which will then be considered by the Board of Works. While no figures were named as the amount the board would expect the company to pay into the city treasury yearly it was stated in the courthouse yesterdav that Jio.000 would be asked by the board. John M. Baker, of the Central TTnion company, thinks the city Is losing sight of one important point in Its negotiations. He believes that the benefits to arise from the recent decision in the patent case, which reltpves all companies of paying $14 a year, royalty, should be in the line of improved service and not in cheapening of rates, or at least not until the service is made nearer perfect. He thinks the use of the long distance company's instruments should be adopted, with double metallic circuits, before rates are lowered. The entire country seems to be enjoying a telephone rate war. Reports come from all ovr Indiana of heavy cuts in rates made by the Central I'nion company as soon as any other company gets a plant in operation. The Central I'nion has plenty of money and is fighting a battle for life or death. It seems to have adopted a policy of making each new company an object lesson in the town in which it is established. It does not interfere until the new company has Invested its money and then it begins to cut rates. Iafayette, Elwood and Anderson are now having just such exDerlences, while Brazil has granted a franchise for a new company and may expect the same condition of affairs In the near future. PORTRAITS OF CITY OFFICIALS. Ex-Controller Woollen's the First to . lie Huhr tp at City Hall. Ex-Controller Woollen's picture now adorns the wall of the city controller's office. Some time ago Mr. Trusler called on his predecessor and remarked that he would appreciate a picture of the city's first controller. Yesterday the picture arrived. Mr. Trusler hopes to make it the beginning of a gallery which will contain all the future city controllers. Colonel Holloway, secretary to Mayor Denny, is making an effort to secure the pictures of all the persons who have been Mayor of Indianapolis. It is becoming quite a fad . for cities to prepare a card containing photographs of the city's executive officers and send them out to other cities. Colonel . HolloWay wants first to secure a large picture of each of the Mayors to hang in the office, and the other matter will be considered later. THE S AX IT A It V FORCE. Kew Sanitarian, to lie Appointed To. Day. "Will He the Captain. Dr. Jameson arrived home Monday night, and yesterday a conference was held by the Mayor, Dr. Hays and Dr. Jameson in regard to the charges which have been made against members of the sanitary officers' force. The Board of Health expects to appoint a sanitarian to-morrow, and the other matter was postponed until after this appointment is made. The sanitarian will be the captain of the sanitary force. The charges which have been made will be laid before him, and if he thinks it necessary for the good of the work the entire force may be reorganized. Just how this will be done has not yet beep decided, but most likely by the reappointment of such members of the old force as are looked upon as capable and efficient, and the dropping of the others in the reorganization. If this course is not adopted charges will be preferred against several if not all the members, and they will be tried by the board. Under this plan any who are dismissed woulu go out under a cloud, while If the other course should be adopted some would simply be dropped out as one of the things incident to a change in the administration- of the department's affairs, and, so far as the record is concerned, there wouid be no cloud on the names of those who might- be "dropped from the rolls. A course will be definitely settled upon to-morrow or Friday. Peddler' License for Veterans. Controller Trusler wa3 asked yesterday if he would issue any free licenses to old soldiers who want to peddle. On of the new laws provides that old soldiers shall not pay any license fee for peddling and says that county auditors shall issue licenses on application and the payment of a fee of 50 cents to the auditor. It does not mention cities and Controller Trusler says he does not believe it is intends to apply to cities. He will not issue any free licenses until he .has more informajtion than he now has. The Cnrb Crumbling: AwayThe curb on. St. Joseph Etreet. between Pennsylvania and Delaware streets, is in

bad condition. The stone is crumbling away. Complaint has been made, and the city engineer reports that the street is under a personal bond guarantee. It is doubtful if the curb is guaranteed at" all.-';1 -The Board of Works will endeavor to have the contractor repair it. - Va.ter Mains on lUmiejr A venae. The Board of Worka yesterday ordered water mains laid on Ramsey avenue, from Clifford avenue to CTay- street, and in Summit street, from Washington street to the P., C, C. & St,, L. railroad tracks. Maniclpal Note. The city engineer was ordered to prepare papers for reving wita brick the first alley west of Alnbama street, from Pearl to Maryland street. ; Interested property owners asked for the vacation of the first alley north of Orchard avenue, from Jupiter street to the first alley west of Jupiter street. . , : u ; "Thomas Taggart'.s addition to the city of : Indianapolis" is the name of a tract of land lying just north of Raymond street and west of the Biuff road, for which a plat was filed with the Board ol Works yesterday. By unanimous .actton, , of ; the Board of Works Davis street was vacated from Locke streeet to the east side of Wllsou street. This is the west end of First street, and is now partly in Fall creek. First street will be opened, taking in a part of what was Davis street and a part of the City Hospital grounds. A WOMAX'3 ANONYMOUS LETTER.

Leads to the Finding; of n Young Girl In Harry Ilord'M Room. Sergeant Lowe received an annoymous letter, in a woman's hand, a few days ago, stating that a young girl would be found staying in the rooma of some young men in the Hereth block on East Washington street. The letter was turnecj over- to Sergeant Hyland. as the building in question is in his district. Iast night the sergeant went Into the building to make an examination and, as the letter stated, a young girl was found in the room occupied by Harry Hord, a well known youn? man about town. The girl said she was only seventeen years old and that her parents did not know where she was. Sergeant Hyland then toll her that he would take her to the police station and put her into the cure of the police matron until her parents could be notified of her whereabouts. She seemed to consent and went into another room to eet some clothing. When she did hot return for some time the officer went to investigate and found the girl unconscious on the floor. He picked her up and put her on the bed and summoned a physician. Captain Compbell and Police Matron Buchanan were also called. Word was sent to the girl's home and her father soon appeared. He said that his daughter had been away from home for about four weeks and that they hact been unable to find her. Harry Hord said that she had come to his room about that time asking to be allowed to star,' and mat she has been there ever since. The girl was sufferinK from a severe case . of hysterics and when she had recovered sufficiently she was removed to her home in a carriage, without being able to give any explanation of why she had remained in the block. . , WEATHER BUREAU FIGURES.

THE AS TO II RIVALS. . Competition Which Resnlti In the IluildliiK- f Splendid Hotels. New York Tribune. If satisfactory arrangements can be made In the way of securing the unexpired lease on certain property belonging to the Astor estate in Thirty-third street the Hotel Waldorf will be greatly enlarged. The object of the proposed addition to the Waldorf Hotel is said to be twofold. The reason given i3 that the accommodations of the present hotel are not enough to meet the requirements of the heavy business done. The real reason, however, is believed to be a desire on the part of William 1 Waldorf Astor to have a hotel that in no way will be inferior to the one his cousin, John Jacob Astor, propos to erect at Thirty-fourth street and Fifth avenue. This hotel will be several stories higher than the Waldorf, while the frontage on Fifth avenue will be the same, but it will be one hundrred fet greater in depth than the Waldorf. It is said to be the intention of John Jacob Aster to equip his hotel and run it on a style of magnificence that will dwarf the grandeur of even tne magnificent Hotel Waldorf. Real estate men and others who will profit by the erection of the new hotel and the addition, to the Waldorf are highly pleased over the rivalry manifested by the Astor cousins. While real estate men will profit largely by arranging the buying up of the leases, the real good, will come to the artisans, mechanics and laborers who will be employed on the two hotels. Mr. McCormack, one of the managers of the Waldorf, said yesterday: "Our agents have been at work for- some time trying to make arrangements . concerning certain leases. Of course, the property belong to the Astor estate but it has been so tied up in leases that it cannot be . taken up. So far the plans have not been perfected. When we have made all arrangements we will make the nature of our proposed Improvements known. The idea is to build an addition to the hotel to accommodate more guests. We are crowded jut at present. With the new hotel of-John Jacob Astor going up, the Waldorf making extensive additions and other hotels right here In the neighborhood, this will 4e quite a hotel center.".-.

I'XTOLD "WEALTH DISCOVERED BY A MIXIXG EAGISEER I PERU. Yellow Metal, Diamonds. Rnble, Sapphire and Emeralds Galore w Yorker to Investigate. NEW YORK, March 19. A committee of three, representing a. dozen business men of this city, will, within a few days, leave here for South America in order to investigate reports of gold, precious stones and, coral that have recently been brought to their notice. The investigating committee will be led by J. A. Coraulf. of No. 43 East Twelfth street, a wealthy contractor and engineer. He will be accompanied by a United States naval officer and another engineer, on whose report the expedition was organized. Another person interested is a United States Senator, from an adjacent State, whose office "Is down town. The committee intends to sail by the next Pacific mail steamer for Colon. If the investigators find what the reports say exists, the investors expect to realize many millions each from the venture. The reports tell of untold wealth. Gold in countless millions is to be had for the mere taking. Diamonds, rubles, sapphires and emeralds are in abundance. It appears that Jose Rodriguez Zelaya, a mining engineer, and a native of the United States of Colombia, but who was educated In England, determined, a year or so ago, to start on a tour over the Andes in Peru. His ostensible "purpose was to investigate the ruins of the ancient temples of the Incas. . His real object was to discover, if possible, a promising gold field. The reports of his trip, which are filed in the down-town office of the United States Senator, are what led to the proposed expedition. The engineer, after many hardships, reached an elevation of about 7,000 feet on the Atlantic slope of the Andes. He found a tribe of friendly Indians who showed him the ruins of the ancient temples, but thev did not interest him as much as the gold trinkets and ornaments worn by the Indians. He found at the mouth of a stream, emptying probably into the Amazon, an Indian village, where, in a crude fashion, the natives had washed out 1.600 pounds of pure gold within as many months. This was in a locality, he says in his report, never before seen by white men. At a near-by locality he found a large area of alluvial gold deposits that yielded from 70 cents to $1 with every pan. After carefully taking his bearings he retraced his steps and landed at the mouth of the Magdalena river in Colombia. He became acquainted with an officer aboard a United States man-of-war stationed there, and told him of what he had seen. The officer secured a six months' furlough, and the two came to this city. Their visit here resulted in the formation oi the company. The officer and the engineer will accompany the expedition, and each will receive a share of the profits Those interested in the enterprise will furnish all the capital necessary. THE ENGINEER'S REPORT. A copy of the Colombian engineer's . report was shown to a reporter yesterday. Names and places were carefully omitted and designated, by- asterisks. Here are some extracts from It: "Its latitude is ( ) and longitude ( .) Gold quartz and large and rich auriferous gravel deposits, silver, copper, coal, asbestos and precious stones (rubies, sapphires, diamonds, emeralds and amethysts) are found here. The whole place is full of loose mineral. Thousands of Ions, that will keep any plant busy for a long time, are right at hand." After describing contiguous copper and gold deposits the report continues: "There are in this locality six miles square of auriferous gravel deposits whose richness throughout has very seldom been seen or discovered In any part of the world. The river that has its -source in the volcano, after receiving the waters of innumerable creeks and affluents, traverses in a majestic way the valle.v, walled in between ranges of high hills until it reaches where it cuts the mountain, making a sharp, elbow-like angle at the cut and continues on its way to the sea. At this turn and cut are the rich, auriferous gravel deposits herein referred to. These deposits are hills, many hundred feet high, containing pay gravel from the grass roots of the bedrock. The deposit will pay on the average about i per cubic yard, the gold being twenty-two carat fine. Water would have to be conveyed by ditch a distance of seven miles." The deposit mentioned is, according to report, some thirty-six miles in extent. A cubic yard of gravel will weigh nearly a ton. In such an area of gravel there would be many thousands of millions of cubic yards, which, at $5 a ton, would mean more of the precious metal than there is at present in circulation In all the civilized countries of the earth. The report continues: Between these two rivers there is another immense deposit of auriferous gravel, forming hills 1,000 feet high, and also w-ith gold from the very grass to bed rock. The place la known as a very small and miserable village. It is very scarce of water, but you could build a. ditch, say ten miles, that would carry all the water required. The old Spaniards- began work on such a ditch and dug a good part of it, as can be seen to-day, but never -flnislied it, probably on account of Indian wars;" GOLD PLACERS AND MINES OF GEMS. The engineer then grows enthuslastio and says: "I have noticed the surprise occasioned by my report of these gold placers. What, then, will it be when your experts go down "there and see for themselves? May the 'doubting Thomases' keep their heads cool, for I might be fearful of their sanity." He is very modest when he says: "Intentionally, I did not put down in my report the true richness of those deposits, which will average 5 cents per pan, because I like to leave a good margin on my Fide. About the extent and depth of the deposit 1 may, perhaps, be mistaken in a few hundred feet in the former and a few feet in the latter, because I never did measure it exactly." He also speaks of immense nearby deposits of asbestos, silver and copper. He then refers to a ruby, emerald and sapphire mine as follows: "The road to this mine is extremely rough and recipitous. The formation on the ground at the mine is rather peculiar. On the surface there is a conglomerate, three feet thick in some parts, composed of small pieces of stone, broken, and representing all kinds and colors of metamorphosed rocks, giving the place the appearance of an immense lava bed. Below this there are several bands or layers of different colored course sand, until a bluish clay is reached, and mixed with this coarse sand are quartz, pebbles, sarnets, rubies sapphires, amethysts and sometimes broken emeralds. In my hurried prospecting I never could get to bed rock, but I noticed that the lower I got the better in color and shape was the stone found. The sapphires and rubles are found by themselves in a different layer and color of sand. The rubies are pure and brilliantly red. This mine is quite extensive, and will surely attract the attention of the world the day it is worked." A member of the investigating expedition, a street railroad contractor, said today: "The writer of these reports is a native Colombian. He was educated in Europe and is well known as a mining engineer in this city. He has been lately mployed as a mining superintendent by an English company in operating hydraulic mines and placers In the United States of Colombia. He Is an old and efficient prospector and miner. His knowledge of his native country and natural inclinations led him to explore the districts described. We expect to be absent about three months. I verily believe that the engineer has accidently stumbled across what no white man has ever been able to discover the treasure trove, from which the old Incas of Peru obtained their gold and Jewels. It will be another South Africa, only on a grander and richer scale." It is believed that Senator Brice is the United States Senator referred to. Hoy Kill HI Father. READING, Pa., March 19. John Oswald, aged forty-five years, of Oley, this county, was killed bv his fourteen-year-old son last night. Oswald came home intoxicated and started to abuse his wife, when the son interfered.

In Honor of Lincoln. AUGUSTA. Me., March 19. In the State Senate, to-day, a resolution O make Abraham Lincoln's birthday a national hodday was unanimously adopted by a rising vote. Kentucky' Myterloua Epidemic. SERGENT, Ky., March 19.-News has reached here to the effect that four or five deaths have resulted from the epidemic on

lower Elkhorn creek, in Pike county, twenty miles east of here. Drs. Gray and Campbell, two of the best-known physicians in the Sandy valley, have been called to the scene, and are not able to name the disease

or check its ravages, isoi a eingie pant-ni. has been known to live over three days after taking the disease. LOUISVILLE. March 19. Dr. Smock, of Warren county, who was delegated by Secretary J. N. McCormark. of the State Board of Health, to investigate the epidemic from which so many people have died in the Mud river section of Floyd county, reports to the beard that the disease is cerebro-spinal meinlngitls. The physicians at first imagined that they had an epidemic of cholera on their hands. BUFFALO'S FOOTPADS. MORE EVIDKXC;'. AKUXST CLARENCE AXD SADIE ROBINSON.' Latter Loe Her Temper , and Call Another Actre n Liar An Expert on Chlrosrraphj . BUFFALO, N. Y., March 19 Dolly Russell, the.actress who was on the stand in the Gibbs murder trial before adjournment last evening and whose testimony was interrupted by Sadie Robinson hissing the word "liar," was cross-examined as tq whether shs had not quarreled with Sadie and did not bear her a grudge. This she denied. The attorneys had a battle over the admission of Mrs. Robinson's second confession, which court allowed, and which was read to the jury. Like all other admissions made by this communicative couple, part of it was held to be inadmU,sable. The wife's testimony against her husband cannot ue received nor can the husband's testimony Against tha wife. Mrs. Miller, the owner of the house wherein the Robinsons lived at this time, testified that she remembered seeing Sadie with men's clothes on the night Gibbs was murdered. Pawnbroker Foster Identified the articles the Robinsons had , pawned to get money to get out of town the Monday after the tragedy. Charles Flanz, a gunsmith, was called to show the jury how the shells were ejected from the pistols Clarence and Sadie carried on their highway robbery expedition. One of the cartridge shells picked up in the lot back of the scene of the murder had an indenture which proved a defective firing pin. The gunsmith swore that the bullets removed from Gibbs's bodv fitted the shells and that Clarence's pistol had a defective pin. Other cartridge -shells produced iroin Clarence's trunk which had ben left 'n Jamestown for board showed similar marks. While Franz was exhibiting the pistol, it was discharged, causing the chief sensation in the court room of the day. The woman auditors jumped and screamed. The ehot was done purposely to i'.emouitrate the. defectiveness of the firing pin. The letter which appeared In the News last April Just after the murder, the writer of which claimed to be a girl whom Gibbs had wronged and who had killed him to avenge her wrongs, was then put in evidence. It is claimed by the prosecution that the letter was written by Clarence Robinson for the purpose of throwing the police off the proper scent. Miss Jeannette Wickenden, advertislnit clerk of the News, testified to having received the letter, and then Charles N. Vocrce, of Cleveland, a handwriting expert, was called. Photographs of the News letter had previously been made in several enlargements, and they were offered in. evidence. Thepe, together with the letter itself and several canceled checks nnd pawn tickets, releases, ledgers and other papers belonging to Clarence Robinson and known to have been signed by him, were submitted, to Mr. Voorce. Questioned as to his opinion of the letter, the witness said: "The opening portion is disguised. The middle portion is nearer the natural handwriting, end beginning "yours" for the signature tnere- is an attempt to go back to simulation again." v"Did you form an opinion as to whether the letter was written by the same hand, wmcn wrote me oiner papers.' asttcu air. Quatkenbush. . ' "I did." " ' . 7 "What was it?" In reply Mr. Voorce said the letter was in the same handwriting as that used by Clarence Robinson in his theatrical contracts. The letter written by Clarence to his wife while he was in jail at Cleveland was likewise in the same handwriting as that in the newspaper letter. Mr. Voorce was positive in his statements. The witness explained how he compared writings and discovered disguised handwritings. He looks out for the slope of letters and the force of pressure on certain letters. Instruments are used to measure the slope of letters. He first saw the letter and the writings known to be Robinson's last February- ' Robert D. Young, paying teller at the Erie County Bank, gave it as his opinion that the newspaper letter and the other writings known to be Robinson's were in the same hand. This ended the case for the prosecution, and at 4:50 p. m. court adjourned. It is probable that the case will go to the Jury Friday night. A "FRIENDLY" PROCEEDING. Receiver Appointed for the Lonir ' inland Traction Company. NEW YORK, March 19. Horace J. Myers, of the firm of A. M. Kidder & Co., has been appointed by the United States Circuit Court of". West Virginia as receiver of the Ixng Island -Traction Company. The appointment, as explained In a circular mailed to the stockholders, Is in the nature of a' friendly proceeding, and to anticipate a movement for a receivership originating in a quarter hostile to the reorganization plan formulated at the meeting of the stockholders held In Brooklyn several weess ago. The circular asserts that a large majority of holders of collateral trust notes have agreed to co-. operate in the plan cf reorganization, the condition being that $5CO,000 be raised before March 28. It is the Intention to pay the obligations to the receiver instead of the company. The Long Island Traction Company was incorporated in 1&3. under the laws of West Virginia, and capitalized at $30,000,000. The deal which led up to this began some three years aKO. At that time the Brooklyn City Railroad was a healthy corporation, which paid large dividends. Its bonded indebtedness was enlarged to $3,000,000 and Its paper shares to 3,C0O,oCO, making a burden of $,- 000,000. Shortly afterwards tb' bonded indebtedness was increased to $6,30,000 and Its paper capital to $12,000,000, this Increasing the burden to $18,t0.UJ. At this time the motive power was changed from horses to electricity. Those in control leased the road for years tp a small corporation known as the Brooklyn Heights Railway Company, which operates a line from Fulton street to Wall-street ferry, about a mite long, having a paper capital of $2O0.OC0. By the terms of the lease thl3 llttls company agreed to pay the interest on the $6,000,000 in bonds, and also 10 per cent, on the j.,0C0,CCO In paper on the Brooklyn City Company, and to keep the surplus for its stockholders. The Long Island Traction Company was organized later in West Virginia, for the alleged purpose of evading the payment of the incorporating tax in this State on the $30,C0C,0 capital, which was mainly on paper. This company leased the Brooklyn City Company and guaranteed to pay the stockholders 10 per cent, as an annual rental. This rental was guaranteed with a fund of $4,100,000, made up of what was known as collateral trust notes. The rental of the City road was regularly paid, but the traction company stockholders were paid no dividend. The plan to reorganize was precipitated by two suits brought by P. H. Flyhn, a heavy stockholder in the Brooklyn City railroad, which 13 leased by the Long Island Traction vxjmpany. Ona suit is to annul the lease of the City road, and the other Is to prevent the traction company from saddling any more debts on the leased property. - AVood Ilarvexter Company Receiver. ST. PAUL, March 19. The Walter A. Wood Harvester Company went into the hands of receivers to-day on the application I of the Evarts Manufacturing Company, of Illinois. The petitioners alleged that the harvester company's liabilities were more ! than $900,000, and that a large part of this they were unable to pay. The petition also alleged that they have given preference to some creditors over others, and have bor. rowed money on terms which give preferences to the lenders with large collateral security. In conclusion, there is a prayer for Judgment for the debt due the Evarts company and for the appointment of a receiver. In the order, which Is short and very simple. Judge Egan says that all property, wherever situated, is to be assigned and transferred to the receivers; that there are to be no preferences, but the creditors are to participate In the proceeds of the receivership pro rata without preferences.

To Purify tire Blood, Increase Flesh ani Strength, and to Cure Indigestion. . Secret Patent Medicines .Will Not Do It. There I a Simpler and Better "Way. . There is only one way to purify the Mood, only one way to Increase flesh, and that la through the stomach and d!getlve organs. Why? Because the stomach and digestive organs make blood and flesh, bone, nerves and. sinew. Did you ever see a person blssed with a healthy, vigorous stomach and digestion who had impure blood, muddy, sallow complexion, or who had weak nerves, sleepless nights and the thousand and one pains and aches arising from poor digestion? No; because perfect digestion converts the food eaten Into pure blood, strong nerves and muscjes and all the flesh a person needs to , have for health, symmetry and beauty. Every person knows whether or not hi or. her digestion is what It should be, but every person does not know what is the safest and best way to secure and preserve a healthy condition of the digestive organs. It is not done by the use of any wonderful secret patent medicine, but by the use of certain harmless digestive principles which, taken at meals, will digest tho food anyway, regardless of the weak condition of the stomach. r Dr. Brooks recommends a combination of 'egetable essences, fruit salts, pure r.septla pepsin and Golden Seal, prepared In convenient tablet form and sold by drugist everywhere under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. . These pleasant tasting tablets are to bej dissolved Jn the mouth after each meal and mingling with the'food in the stomach, digest It perfectly. There I nothing wonder ful about this. Any physician or chemist knows that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will do this because repeatedly tested and proved, and thousands of cured dyspeptics have found it to be true also. Dr. Harlandson states that these tablett increase flash because they digest fleshforming food like eggs, meat and ordinary everyday food; for the same reason they purify the blood and strengthen. weaK nerves. In no other way can it be done because flesh, blood and nerves are obtained , from the food we eat. Pr. Jennison once stated that he believed a fifty-cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets would give more real benefit than fifty dollars' worth of ordinary doctors' fees. . These tablets may be found at any drug store. and that , the creditors are not to file releases) for their claims. Within five days the receivers and each of them are to file bends in the sum of $250,000. The receivers are Frank Seymour, cashier of the Merchants' Bank: A. H. Landke, of the firm of Landke, Warner & Schurmeyer, and Peter S. Macdowan, general manager of the company. Open Letter to Prof. A. M. Hall. Dear Sir Referring to the lecture which you recently delivered In Terre Haute and the subsequent discussion of it through the press I desire to request, you to favpr tha readers of the Journal by answering the following questions, which you will perceive are in the Interest of a clearer understanding of your positions: FirstIn denying that Christ died to satisfy the law of Ills Father do you mean to deny that His death was sacrificial or propitiary, and that He died that God might be just In Justifying the believer? Second In denying that justification consists in a formal act,' and affirming that it consists in a reformation of life, do you mean to deny that there is a formal act of forgiveness extended to the penitent sinner? Third What do you mean by .''tho'. Idolatrous reverence for the word God," which you are seeking to deslroy? TRUTH SEEKER. Indianapolis, March 19. A Graduate of Wabash Collefre. Philadelphia Inquirer. ' When the trustees of the Carnegie library at Pittsburg went to New York the other day In search of a librarian of the first rank they were surprised with the information coming from the leading librarians of the country that Edwin H. Anderson, librarian of the Carnegie library in the neighboring town of Braddock, was one of' the most competent librarians in the country. Acting upon this piece of news, which was learned by going away from home, Mr. Anderson has been chosen librarian of the new library at a salary of $4,000. He Is thirty-three years of age and a .graduate of Wabash College. He studied law, worked on a newspaper, took a course in the Albany Library School, became librarian of the Newbunr library, Chicago, and was subsequently placed in charge of the Braddock library. The trustees have aimed to find organizing executive capacity, a knowledge of books and of the book trade, ability to manage a library and the tact necessary to persuade a nomeadlng public to become a reading one. Mr. Anderson will save time also by knowing thoroughly the tastes of a community similar to that of Pittsburg. - Shirts READY TO WEAR. . Eery eartneni GUARANTEED. TIU Finish.
