There was a strong wind blowing across the grounds of the Queen's Club to-day and It was this which prevented faster time being made by the runners or records being lowered. Immediately after the close of the athletic contest the Cambridge athletic team went into secret session in order to consider Yale's challenge. The sentiment of the team favors its acceptance. Mr. F. S. Horan, president of the Cambridge Athletic Club, after the meeting informed a reporter that It was more than probable that Cambridge would either accept Yale's challenge or challenge Yale themselves. The feeling among the whole Cambridge team Is favorable to an American trip, and the only obstacle seems to bo the date of the proposed meeting. The Oxford and Cambridge teams dined together to-night. INCENDIARY FIRES. Courthouse in Alnbnmn and Kentucky Ilarned ly Fire I1iir-k. BIRMINGHAM.

STOniKS FROM ELWOOD AXD GREENFIELD IX THE MYERS CASE. Terre Haute Saloon Keepers Will Teat the Mcliolaon Lair Shocking Suicide at Klvrood. Special to the IndianapoIL3 Journal. ELWOOD, Ind., July 3.-Thls city Is greatly exicted over the sensational dlscory that the coffin supposed to contain the body of Thomas Myers, of this city, who, it was claimed, had died at Gem, Hancock county, and buried at Clifford, was empty when exhumed yesterday. He belonged to '.he- Foresters' lodge here and held a $3XK) ncurance policy in that order. When the 'vvs of his death reached here John Noble, "i financial secretary of tho local ledge, xs sent down to Clifford to view the body -id make his report to the local lodge. When he got there the burial was over and he promptly had the grave opened next day when the coffin was found empty. Myers !3 believed to bo alive and a exarch is being made for him and his confederates, some of who are believed to reside In or near Gem and this city. Myers was quite well known here and always seemed to be. a straightforward young man. He has relatives here who are also quite well known. It is thought the death and funeral was a "fake" to secure the insurance policy and sensational developments are anticipated. Mr. Noble returned to this city this morning and made his report and the local lodge will refuse to act until the mystery is cleared up. Dr. T. A. Cox, of this city, an uncle of Myers, Is named as the benflclary in this policy, and Myers was also Insured for $2,70:) in the Equitable Aid Company, of which the beneficiary is not known at thlii time. The Forresters are gctng to make a thorough investigation of the matter and will make It hot for the parties who engineered the scheme to defraud the lodge out of this money. What Dr. Cox Says. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENFIELD July 3.-On Juno. 20 three men, Thomas Myers, T. A. Cox and A. F. Burnett, who claimed Elwood as their home, rented an old store room at Gem, belonging to Volney Caldwell, of this city. They took It for two months, or until Sept. 1, and paid a month's rent, and were to pay the rest In a few days. They claimed they wanted the place for a fish depot, as they were going to peddle fish over the country, which story was rather Improbable, as Gem is hardly large enougn for a distributing point. Last week, when Mr. Caldwell went there for his rent. Cox, who claimed to be doctor, told him that Myers was sick and had the diphtheria, so, of course, Caldwell diT not go in to see him. and neither did any of the neighbors. Sunday night Burdett and E. Crlgsby came here at 11 o'clock and said Myers had died at 9 o'clock p. m. They aroused undertaker Morrison and purchased one of his cheapest burial outfits. He asked If they wanted the body embalmed, and they said no. as they were going to take It overland to Clifford, Ind., for burial on Monday. While here a telegram was sent in the name of Dr. T. A. Cox, to Station Agent Myers, at Clifford, to have a grave dug at Liberty graveyard, near there, for Thomas Myers, who had died here that night. As both Cox and Meyers had formerly lived there the order was complied with. On Monday morning when the Gem neighbors Inquired how Myers was they were told he had died at 9 o'clock, and the body was taken away about 2 o'clock, so none of them saw him, although it is claimed by some that Mr. Grigsby saw him die after suffering three serious fits. The coffin arrived at tho grave about 4 p. m., Monday, and after brief services by a minister, the interment was made, there being twelve or fifteen of Myers's old acquaintances present. Tho body was not shown at the grave as Dr. Cox claimed it was too badly decomposed. On Tuesday morning, however, a representative of the Order of Foresters arrived at Clifford and demanded an Investigation, as Myers had a $3,000 life insurance policy In that company, payable to his uncle. L. A. Cox. The grave was reopened and the coffin found empty. The box containing the casket was slightly broken. Dr. Cox says he will swear the body was in the coffin when it was buried. The Doctor returned to Gem this afternoon. The Insurance company will demand some substantial proof before they pay the $3,000. Development nt Colnmbus. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBUS, Ind., July 3.-The mystery concerning the death and supposed burial of Thomas Myers,, who was once a resident of the town of" Clifford, north of this city, remains as great as yesterday. During the day the following facts developed here: Myers was a fish vender, secured his fish from the lakes, at Indianapolis, and sold thttn from town to town in a radius of ten to twenty miles around the city. It is claimed that he sickened and died at a little village In Hancock county, some miles north of Greenfield, and from that place his 'remains were brought through to "Liberty cemetery, in this county, by his companion and partner in the fish business, at the direction of deceased's uncle. Dr. Cox, he and his wife accompanying them in their overland trip, a distance of forty-five miles. Partus excited and Interested by this case further explored the grave and examined the cotKn in Liberty cemetery. There were luunu near xne grove two Diocks or wood, 22 Inches long and 10 inches wide, while the lining ot the coffin, which was a cheap one, showed marks of iron rust, and it is generally believed that the coffin was made to weigh the required amount by being thu loaded, and that the tinkering with the coffin was for the purpose of removing Its contents. There Is no person here who believes that Myers is dead except minister Pond, who officiated at the funeral, and he be.Ieves the coffin contained. a corpse. The cotfin remains in th cemetery exposed to the weather, and unclaimed. TERRE HAUTE TEST CASE. The Ffjcht Ajcalnst the Nicholson Lavr to lie funked Vigorously. Special to the Indianapolis journal. ' TERRE HAUTE. Ind., July 3-The Nicholson law will be tested in this city on ten cases that were begun yesterday. The saloon men have a formidable array of attorneys and will rush the case to the Supreme Court. Informations were filed by detective Dwyer and Sergeant' Beattle against "Cod" Myers, proprietor cf the Health Office, and Louis Gerhardt. who conducts a grocery and saloon on South Thirteenth street, charging them with violations of the Nicholson law. These are the test cases and are the ones, no doubt, upon which the constitutionality of the law will be determined. The information against Gephardt simply charges him with the violation of that part of the law which forbids the combination of saloon and grocerv, or other business. The Information against Myers charges that he is running billiard and pool tables in the same room he occupies as a saloon. The attorneys for the defense will waive all technical objections which might be raised against the informations or the proceedings of the trial and will proceed as rapidly as possible to the points at issue relative to the constitutionality of the law. It is the desire to have the cases called before the Circuit Court adjourns, so that the arguments for and against the law can be made in view of hastening the cases on for a decision by the Supreme Court. The attorneys for the State will be furnished with assistance by the Civic Federation. This will make Terre Haute the center of the war against the law, as the other cities throughout the State will, no doubt, be slow both in violations and prosecutions until thes two capes have reached a decision from the higher courts. The statement in this correspondence that the vice president of the State Normal was one of the prominent citizens on the list of those who had congratulated a merchant because he discharged a clerk who was prominent In the Nichclson Union was r mistake and arose from the fact that h!s brother's name was on the list. The Normal professor has taken no part m the controversy and said nothing to any one that would give rise to the impression that he is opposed to the enforcement of the law. The police board held a meeting last n'ght and decided to instruct the police to close the saloons at 11 o'clock and on Sunday, in accordance with the law of 1ST3. but gave no instructions as to the enforcement of the Nicholson law. No Instruction was given to close the saloons to-morrow, on account of its being a legal holiday. Tne saloons are making no preparations to comply with the Nicholson law, and It remains to be seen what the Civic Federation will do. Enforced nt Lafayette. Special to the Indlahapolla Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., July 3. Tho Police Commissioners, as coon as the Governor's

proclamation appeared, caused every retail dealer to be notified that beginning with the morning of July 2 the Nicholson law would be Impartially enforced. The result has been that dealers have been quite busy getting their premises into conformity with the law, and there at present seems a willingness to give the new law a fair trial. The Sunday preceding the taking effect of the law eight t retailers were arrested for following thefr usual business. A number of the men engaged in the liquor business express themselves as gratified with the new law. provided the authorities will Impartially enforce it. The Milliard Table Covered. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRANKFORT. Ind., July 3.-The Nicholson law Is being strictly observed by the saloon keepers of Frankfort. In a half hour after it was learned that the Governor had l.ued his proclamation the billiard and pool tables in every saloon were '"covered" and carpenters were getting the "screens" ready for shifting. All wine rooms were promptly closed, also. Law-Ahldlntc Saloon Keepers,. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., July 3.-The .Nicholson saloon ;law is being observed by every Muncle saloonl.'t. Partitions have heen removed, doors nailed up and pool and billiard tables and slot machines very numerously are for sale.

PACKED" GRAAD JURY. After Votlnnr for Indictments Substitute "Were rut On. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. July 3. The grand Jury, which adjourned last night, failed to return new Indictments against banker Beach, aa it had been expected would be done, as It was known that depositors In the bank had been before the Jury for that purpose. They had been displeased with the failure to convict on the old indictment. Judge Sidney Davis, who had been appointed special counsel for the prosecution, was with the grand Jury when the witnesses were examined, and when foreman Kernman told him that th Jury had voted to return an Indictment he wrote it and gave it to the foreman, but when It was handed into the court yesterday the foreman had not signed it. One of the jurymen told Judge Taylor that the jury had voted unanimously to return the indictment, and that It ought to have been signed. The court sent the jury back to Its room, but when the question again came up the necessary five of the six votes could not be secured for the indictment. Kernman and the clerk. Arthur Grimes, were not In the first panel, but were called by Sheriff Butler to fill vacancies. They are supposed to be the ones who prevented the return of the Indictment. Later in the day they handed in a report complimentary of the sheriff and the police department and sneering at the Civic Federation. It Is commonly understood that this report was written by W. H. Soale, the attorney of the Liquor League. Grimes Is a son of Soale's partner. The other four members of the jury refused to sign it. but signed a statement that they saw no reason to change their former report, in which the Jail management was severely criticised. Judge Taylor said this morning that he had heard it reported that the grand jury had been packed, but he did not say what he would do In the matter. Prosecutor Huston makes the statement that the Jury was packed. BLEW OFF HIS HEAD. Terrible Method of Suicide by Henry ewhone. of Kivrood. Special to the Indianapolis Journal: ELWOOD, Ind., July 3.

TANK EE ON PENSIONS TALKS OF SECRETARY HOKE SMITH'S ADMINISTRATION. He Is Charitable and Thinks Smith Is Xot Altogether to Blame, but Lays It on Cleveland. Ccrporal James Tanner, ex-United States Commissioner of Pensions, arrived in Indianapolis yesterday from Washington. Today he will deliver an address at Lincoln Pvrrk. where the Union Veteran Legion has a celebration. Corporal Tanner is accompanied by his son, E. W. Tanner, a tall, bright-looking young mau of about ninete?n. The Corporal, since his last visit to Indianapolis, has grown quite gray, but has los: little of his old-time vigor. His stalwart figure Is as erect as ever. For a short time last night he talked interestingly of politics and pensions. .He is disposed to draw the mantle of charity over the misdoings of the present Commissioner of Pensions, but lays the blame at the door of the chief executive. "Neaiiy all of the pensions that are being issued now are reissues," he said. "A great mny people don't understand what the system ir as it is now being carried on. A reissue is a pension that has been cut off and then commenced again at a( reduced rate. It is not the granting of a new pension at all. I know that a great deal of cruel injustice is being done in that pension office, but tht fact is it Is due to Hoke Smith that the wholesale suspension of pensions was stopped at Washington. Hoke Smith Is not really the only man who Is to blame for this. Of him 1 can say that he has more sagacity than the most of his party. I don't, know whether It Is true or not, but I've bten told that Dan Voorhees recently mude a speech in Indiana in which he said that if these pension abuses didn't stop pretty soon there wouldn't be a Democrat la Indiana, and he didn't believe there xicuid be one this side of h 11. Mr. Cleveland is dictating the policy of this administration, and I see no relief until we get rid of it. My Republican heart is confident In the belief that In fighting the political battles this coming campaign the old 60ldler voter will be more solidly voted than at any time since Grant's first election. "Shortly after I left the office of Commissioner of Pensions." continued Mr. Tanner. "I met Mr.. Smith Under circumstances very peculiar. During my administration I 'picked up a one-legged soldier ovsr in Massachusetts and gave him a job. I wanted to help him largely because of the circumstances surrounding his misfortune. He was one of a party of six men who lay on the field after the second Bull Run battle. There were six of us with seven legs shot off both of mine were gone. This poor fellow was with me on the field and In prison, and, knowing his circumstances, I sent for him after I got into a position to help him. I found him a place as messenger in the department at a salary of JfflO a year. Cleveland hadn't been In office but a little while when my onelegged soldier came Into my office one day. The poor fellow was the picture of disappointment, and I knew something was wrong. As I expected, he had been dismissed from the service. I promised to do what I could for him and went to the telephone and called up the Secretary of the Interior. I made an appointment with him for the following day, and we met and had a talk. I told him of -the man I had helped out and the circumstances surrounding the case. I told him how we lay on the field with our legs shot off, our bodies bleeding and nearly naked. The picture was horrible, and it could not be portrayed In a newspaper. When I got through Smith simplv remarked: - " 'Well?' "I looked In his face and saw that his eyes were full of tears. " Well, you have dismissed him I said. ,4 'ir he returned. 'You. " 'I'll bet you a dollar I find him another plaoe.' M 'Oh1, I'm not going to throw away a dollar I said, 'and prefer to believe you won't make a liar of yourself.' "He did appoint mv man to. a place in the claim building where he staid until that department was practically wiped out. During that conversation we referred to the pension affairs of the government. " 'They speak of me as a rebel, said Smith with a laugh. 'Why, I was a boy nine years of age when the war was fought. I was Southern born and my sympathies, of course, were there. I expect If 1 had been old enough I would have worn the gray. I have no prejudice against the Union soldier and want to see exact Justice done him." '. '. .. . - " 'That's all right, Mr. Smith I replied, 'but it is possible that my ideas of Justice differ somewhat from yours " Corporal Tanner referred to the charge made by President Cleveland, In 1893. that there were one thousand fraudulent pensioners on the rolls. ' . . "I think," he continued, "that if the President believed that he should not have made it a subject of comment. Why not talk about the dishonest postmasters or the dishonest distillers?" , . , "What do you think about presidential timber?" Corporal Tanner was asked. "We've got the best of it everywhere," he replied. "You want to keep an eye on the gentleman who lts In the executive chair in the State of New York. I have been amused at the situation in that State. It has been claimed that Mayor Strong was the high priest of reform. He is a nice gentleman, but he wasn't born yesterday. To those who read between the lines it Is seen that Mayor Strong desired as subsidiary to reform to secure all the delegates possible from New York to support his friend. Governor McKlnley. On the other hand. I am satisfied that if Mr. Thomas C. Piatt could Inaugurate a President he would toe found to answer to the name of 'Thomas B. Reed. The outcome of that little contest will be that New York will have a solid delegation for Morton. All concede that he has had eminent success In all positions, both public and private. He is a man of marked ability anda success as a minister. Vice President and Governor. All that can be said against him is that he is seventy-one years of age, but at seventy-one he is a younger man than the average man at sixty. He has never made an overdraft on his physical nature, and, barring accidents, I am confident he will live for years after the next President has finished his term. He could carry New York by a big majority." Reception by the Veteraus. A reception 1 waa given Corpbral Tanner last rlghi by the Union ""Veteran League, whoe Kuest he is. The, reception occurred at Grard Army Hall, on Delaware street, nearly evtry member of the league being present. The - exercises were presided over by D. W. Sullivan. The appearance of the Corpora Tin tht hali was greeted vIth cheers by tht veterans. Special decorations had been prepared in honor of the visitor, and tho walls were covered with patriotic colors. Mr. Tanner was the. principal orator of the evening, and spoke for a half hour. He cailcd up memories of the men he had known in Indiana, many of whom have passed away. He spoke of the honors gained by the military men of the State, and their value during the country's peril. Of the war and its attending disasters he spoke feelingly. He believed there were bright prospects ahead for the people of America, for the flag of the Union is higher and firmer thr.a rver before. A considerable part of hH tpeech was devoted to the pension systen; as It Is carried on under the present administration. other speeches were nde by George W. Spahr. l C. Shaw, W. R. Holloway. T. B. Linn. Dr. Ferguson, R. R. Shiel. A. Kramer and Major W F. Hltt. After the speeches the veterans fell into a humorous moid, ano rr.any good stories were told of occurrences that help to make the old days mer.icrc.blc. Corporal Tanner Is an excellent story teller, and he contributed several choice cues. Light refreshments were served ai the c r.c'u?ion of the exercises am all whj cared tc nmoke were supplied with a cob pip.? and tobacco. The festivities did not clJe urti. nearly 11 o'clock. Fast Horse and Liquor. John Newman was arrested by Merchant policeman Snow last night charged with drunkenness. Newman took out a fine horse belonging to Wesley Stout with instructions to exercise the animal. Newman's hold upon the reins was not very steady and ct its corner of Eisateeatlj street and

College evenue he tried to send the horse an exhibition mile over a stretch of unreliable road. There was a wreck, thn horse escaping with fragments of the road cart. Newman was left by the roadside. AMUSEMENTS. WI I d wood M Ikad o. The first summer opera season in Indianapolis opened last night at Wiliwool Park with a large crowd under the tent. The affair had been talked about so widely tht the class of theater goers was largely "represented, and they did not hesitate to pronounce the company good, the accommodations fair and the scheme an unqualified success. The attendance was far beyond what was anticipated. There was some grumbling on account of the streetcar accommodations. The company waa profuse In Its apologies, and hastened to assure the comic opera mangemrnt that arrangements would be made to glvo prompt ar!d adequate service to the large crowd that is expected to-night. There hti been no little anxiety for the performance on the rart of the directors. The opening chorus and the excellent control of tho orcrestra by Director MCthie left no doubt that the company was capable. As the first act ' of "Mikado" progressed it was ten cr strated that Mr. Temple had furnished a good company. As singers they compare well with the winter opera talenL The chorus is not heavy, but plenty largo for the cozy little utage, while the piece was tastefully set with scenery that looked new and artistic. The costuming was all that could be desired, the ensemble brilliant in coloring, making beautiful pictures viewed from any part of the big tent. There was great appreciation displayed as the old familiar songs and comedy business were repeated. Several, of the singers were favored with encores, while the general applause was frequent and liberal. Josephine Knapp was well remembered from her taking performance as the countess In "The Devil's Deputy" last winter, and responded to a flattering double encore. The singing of Tellula Evans, as Yum Yum, and Minnie Emmett as Katisha, received distinguished favor. Edward Temple, as the ancient favorite, Koko, was the life of the company. Ha sang in excellent voice and Introduced a verse on the new woman anu the blcycla bloomers In- "Got 'em on the list" that made a hit. Charles Huntington made an acceptable Mikado and also had a taking topical verse, which he gave as an encora to "The Punishment fits the crime." Judging by the npplau? which Harold Blako received his Nankl-Poo. was a hit with tha ladies. Blake is a good singer and actor, but his 'voice could carry a few sand bags and yet not be too heavy His shap Is of the nature styled "killing" and the duet with Yum Yum was most prettily rendered, being another of the numbers that called for repetition. The pompous Poo-Bah of Charles tihackford was a general favorite and the pert "business" which Josephine Knapp as Pittl Sing "rang in" with: Poo Bah raised these two secondary roles to prominence along with the leaders. There Ls something as pleasing about this revival of "Mikado" a a visit to one's childhood home, where all the old landmarks are still standing. One can see. however, where new life can be put Into the libretto by bringing the topical hits "up to date." The Mikado is still singing about sending the tenor to Mme. Toussand's wax works, a famous Lonaon show, and the take off was probably very acceptable in London, bul it would be Just as easjr ,to consign the victim to some overworked American dummy resort. A few fresh, local hits in the shape of topical verses or local features would greatly enliven the? performance. "The Mikado" will continue to be the bill the rest of the week, the company openlmj next week with "Chimes of Normandy." Where Is Billy Warner f t CHICAGO, July 3l Chief of Police Boyle, of Jackson, Mich.," has written to the Chi cago authorities asking that William 1L Warner, better known among the theatrical profession as "Billy" Warner, be looked for. He is a musician, banjo plajer and comedian, and at one time was pretty well known. According to Chief Boyle. Warner is now fifty years old and Is rlightly deranged, lie is Well connected in Jackson, and when he left there last Friday his relatives were much worried, and have offered a large reward for Information leading to his detention and return home.
