Something harpened at he Grand last night during Stuart Robson's production of "The Juckllns" which. If related by the pres asrent, would be considered only another attempt to advertise the star. Old Lem Jucklln, Robson's character, as la well known by this time, has an undoing love for gaoie roosters. Every night 11 the second act he makes hla appearance with two lighting cocks, and dropping them on the stape, there Is at once capital sncrt for any man with sporting blood In his veins. Robson ha a la the play which ral3: f wouM huM a grratn of corn between my teeth an t let you iek' my eye out." This line came wlth'ri less than even-eiRhths of an Inch of birtK the truth lut night. When old Jucklin bent uown and gathered up his pets in the rr.ldst of the riRhi one roosttr turned on him viciously and made a peck at his eye. catching liubxon on th- bridKe of the novo and tearing otf a strip of skin an wld as the point of the red hackle's beak and nearly an inch long, reaching down almost to the corner of hit right eye. Mr. Jtol.son will wear a strip of court plaster at to-day's performances and If any one doubts this story they may call at Stuart Robin's dressing rucm and tnsrwet his nose. The roosters in the play ar full-blooded game cocks from New Orleans. "The Juckllns' will be repeated at the matinee this afternoon, and to-night "Mrs. londei buty's Past" will be the bill. Madame.

Sousa sets the feet of thousands of music lovers tapping to the rhythm of hU thrilling marches, but tho. who love his music and will again hear his famous band at Tomlinsun Hall to-night are not as familiar as they should be with the development of this purely American musical product. The rwst interesting part of his rarly career, when he. waa a young 'cc-mimser, as hpent in the City of Rrotherly Ive, modestly working in the vineyard cf melody and in the school of composition, litre Is wher the talents, which now llay such an important part In the musical development of Americans, were lirst ifcounlzed and commented on. Philadelphia, Is where Iht Wolf Hopper mad his first apiearance as an operatic, comedian. fctrnge?y enough, in a musical work by S"usa, and tame back 'elecn years aftr that date to win the triumph of his career In "El Capitan,'' written for him by ousa. unJ played in the very theater where the "March King" once played the violin under the baton of Simon Hassler. Sousa, Is a young man. despite the fact that le has been writing music for nearly twenty-live years. He was born in Washington Just about forty yirs ao. and grow up with the young Wa-hinjituniaus. Sousa's father was a Spaniard and a musician of no mean attainment. Tl son says he owe the foundation of hi success In music . the instru-tion and example of his parents. His mother was a t'erman and from her t-'nusu Inherited the splendid ideas of good fotm in m usual i.-iiipos-itnn which u1wh characterizes his writings.

And It was not long before Soua was sharing s ni tn r. r. either. The 2.irk-.eardM Ilashlr.g-eyed, military s i.-a of to-d.iv was of t different ty-e tlen. His dark eye was there, but it had the exi-ectant .k. The t:ird was incipient, and the Mllieiiy t-ailnsr had not been acquired.

Her "Sonny, She Siik, I a Purely Imaginary Character. Mrs. Ruth McEnery Stuart Is the guest of Mrs. Sewall for a few days, and yesterday afternoon she gave some readings from her own writings before the girls of the Classical School and some of their friends. Mrs. Stuart reads the dialect as well as she writes it, and her representations of tho sketches of the "Sonny" stories and others were charming and were greeted with laughter and applause. Mrs. Stuart is slender and graceful, and her dark brown hair she wears thrown softly back from her face In half pompadour style. She has the delightful accent of tho southland. Mrs. Stuart in a conversation was asked about tho "Sonny" sketches. She said that Sonny was purely an imaginary character. She laughed as she told of a number of photographs which people have sent her of their own Sonnys, who possess strong characteristics like the boy of which she writes. On being asked if any of tho pictures were like the picture she had in mind she confessed that the boy was only a type and that she had not invested hint witn features. Mrs. Stuart has just been on a reading tour in which her programmes are made up of readings from her own writings, frequently request numbers. She is uniiae many writers who arc ioor readers, for she has a pleasing voice and one which lllls an ordinary hall so that all can hear. Mr. Stuart when asked about her early readings said that the lirst public reading was given in Tulane University at New Orleans, although she had read for her friends in parlors numbers of times. She is now returning South from a trip to Minnesota, and cold weather has followed her persistently. At no time, however, has she missed a business engagement, although several social engagements have been foregone on account of te cold. Mrs. Stuart says in regard to writings: "It is easy to be humorous when you are in the atmosphere." and from the bright and humorous things in her sketches it is easy to be-lieve that this is true for her. Mrs. Stuart now contributes to the Century and Harper's and does occasional writing for the Ladies Home Journal. Next year she is under engagement for MrClure's. She is engaged in writing a novel which she has half linished. Whether it is completed during the coming year depends on whether she takes a trip to Jondon. where she has been Invited to go and give a. series of drawing-room readings. She will return to Chicago from here for a short visit and then will make her Journey South, where she will read again in tho woman's annex to the university where she made her lirst appearance. Mrs. Stuart's life has been devoted to the education of her son, now a lad of sixteen. MUST FURNISH GAS. Company I.Inble for Death Caused Iiy I'ailure to Furnish Fuel. The Supreme Court yesterday handed down an opinion that will Interest the patrons of the Indianapolis (las Company and other companies. The opinion holds that where a gas company has the franchise for supplying gas and falls to after making a contract to do so it is liable for the death of a person caused by the failure. While the opinion does not enter into the question of the liability of a citizen for payment for gas that he does not receive, It would seem that the decision on tho other question Is strongly in that line. In the winter of lSfC James H. Coy. of Ilaughville, made a contract for gas with tho Indianapolis Gas Company and in January, when the cold weather came on. he could get no gas. He had no other fuel and his llve-yea-r-oM daughter was ill. Ho notified the company that ho could get no other fuel and demanded that he be furnished sufficient g.is. He did not get it, and the cold aggravated the illness of his daughter and she died. In his opinion in reversing the judgment of the lower court, which was In favor of the company. Judge Howard says: "Whtther, particularly after contract entered into to supply the gas, the company might be relieved of the obligation to furnish by reason of inability to procure tho gas or for other reason, we need not decide, as no such question appears in the record. It cannot be said. In view of the authorities, that a natural gas company, occupying the streets and alleys of a city or town, by virtue of a franchise granted for that purpose may. at its pleasure, give or withhold fud at its disposal and which may be the means necessary for the comfort, health or even life of the inhabitants." FELL FROM THE CAR. William II. Ilnnmgnrtner Seriously Hurt Near the Denison. William 11. Baumgartner, vice president of. the Indianapolis Paint and Color Corapany. suffered from a serious accident last evening just about tho time the Denison House tiro broke out. He was riding on a College-avenuo out-bound car and started to alight whil the car was moving, just after it had turned into Massachusetts avenue. He probably slipped on the Icy pavement. He was picked up by the street-car employes and carried into Dr. N I). Woodard's othce. at 3 Massachusetts avenue. He was unconscious, and It was several minutes before ho partially recovered his senses. Dr. Woodard found that the right cheek lone was fractured and that Mr. Haumgartner had i n H erod a slight concussion ot the brain. The patient did not recover suftlclently while at th other of the physician to explain the accident. He lives at ll North Meridian street and would not be taking a Colh ge-avenue ear to go to his home. His place of business is In the block where the accident occurred, but he would not alight from the car until he reached Helaware street to go there. The supposition is that he thought he was on a Pennsylvania-street car and discovered his mistake as the car turned Into Massachusetts avenue: or that he saw the tire apparatus corning and jumped off to look at tho lire.

SERIOUS CHARGES MADE

mxi:ivi:u soi ght for tub iiomc SAVINGS ASSOCIATION. Fraud on the Part of Officer Alleged Judge Woods' Order lit the Vandnlla Case. With what is claimed to be a forged certificate of stock as a basis for a claim suit was filed yesterday by Margaret C. Abrams asking for a receiver for the Home Savings Association. It is claimed by the management of tho association that the suit was filed merely for the purpose of trying to compel them to make a compromise of the case, which, they say, they will not do under any circumstances. Ths complaint alleges all kinds of mismanagement and fraud in the management of the association's affairs. Four cases aro specillcally mentioned. This Is the association of which Henry H. Moats was president before he left the city, owing everyone from whom he could borrow and with some of the association's money. It Is charged in the complaint that he borrowed $1,000 on two lots in Gas City which were noc worth moro than a merely nominal sum, while they were appraised by him and Rev. C. II. McDowell at $2,000. The claim is also made that Mr. McDowell received, as pay for making the appraisement at an overvaluation, a note for $300, which Moats had received as a rart of the $1,000 borrowed. Officers of the association say that there was nothing whatever illegal or wrong in the transfer of the note to Rev. Mr. McDowell, but that It was a business transaction which the books of the association show to be straight. It is further asserted that the association was compelled to foreclose, and that when it did so it brought the property in at $1,300, the amount of Its claim, while it was not worth enough to pay liens that were on it at the time the loan was made. The charge is also made that Moats was not required to furnish an abstract and that the directors did not know that there were other liens on the property. Another charge Is that Mary G. Hay, another director, borrowed $373 on six lots in Alexandria, and that she made no payments for thirteen weeks. Afterward the property was bought under foreclosure for a claim of $533.52. It is claimed that thee lots aro not worth as much as the original loan. A third case mentioned is that of John C. Hamilton, another director, and C. A. Hanoble, who borrowed $350 on lots in this city, which were appraised at $SoO. It is claimed that no dues or other payments weib ever mado on this loan and that the association had to pay out money on street assessments until its claim amounts to $"00. No steps have been taken to collect this, it is alleged. Then it is further charged that Mr. McDonald. Henry Moats and J. C. Hamilton, directors, and Thomas It. Clegg. a nonresident, had given their individual note, on which $5o was due. To pay this money they issued certificate No. 47 for $500, and, it is claimed, hypothecated it to H. M. Furnas to pay the loan. No record was made on the books and no payment was ever made on the certificate. The certificate came back to Moats and he again transferred it, until It linally reached the hands of James M. Euganbrlght. an innocent purchaser, who presented It last December and collected $550 cn it. while the association, it is alleged, had received nothing for it. Following these specific cases como general charges of fraud and mismanagement, without specifications, and the cnarge that if a receiver Is not appointed the stockholders will lose what they have paid in. The present officers of the association arc Charles J. Buchanan, president, and Mrs. Mendenhall. secretary. Yesterday they denied that the association had lost money through the loins mentioned in Mrs. Abrams's complaint. They said tho association was in good financial condition, and that its fundj had not been misapplied in any way. They were very much surprised to learn of the suit, for they said they did not suppose suit would bo instituted when the attorney for the plaintiff hud practically admitted that the signatures to tho certificate on which the suit is based wer.j not like the genuine signatures. J. F. Carson, attorney for the association, was called in and held a consultation about the matter. He said the association would take prompt action in the matter, and would complete its pleading to the charges before the time set in the summons. He then made the following written statement: "The Home Savings Association enters a general denial to the charge that fraudulent loans have been made by it. and to the charge of mismanagement. It has been Imposed upon to an extent by H. H. Moats and his accomplices. Certificate of stock No. 47 referred to in the complaint was issued by H. H. Moats, while president, to Thomas Clegg, his relative. He. by n rtifl.ee and misrepresentation, procured Miss Mary G. Hay. secretary, to attest it. with the understanding that it would not be delivered to Mr. Clegg until fully paid for. He violated his agreement. The certificate was delivered to Clegg without payment having been made and was subsequently transferred to various persons, all without the knowledge of the other officers of the association. II. H. Moats absconded several months afterward, before discovery by the association of the issue of the certificate. After having been assigned four or live times it came into the hands of J. M. Erganbrlght by assignment from Frank C. Durham, who, with Luther Erganbright (a son of J. M. Erganbright) were then the attorneys of the association. For their connection with this affair these attorneys were discharged by tho association. The certificate having been issued by the duly qualified oflicers of the association and being held by one who was shown to be an innocent holder, the association was obliged to and dhl pay It. "The plaintiff in this suit for receiver Is a sister of H. H. Moats and holds a certificate of stock for $.W. which Is a forgery. It bears date of MpicIi s. PK, and purports to bo signed by C H. McDowell and Esther Pugh. who were then president and secretary, respectively, and whose signatures were each forged. The plaintiff has no interest whatever in the association other than is evidenced by this forged oertilicate. Just after the flight of Moats she personaly presented her certificate and was then told It was a forgery. Three or four weeks ago she again, through her attorney, Mr. Haughcy. presented the certificate at the office of the association and again demanded payment of dividends accrued. Mr. Haughey was at once told that the certlcate was a forgery anil genuine signatures were shown him. He admitted that the genuine) signatures did not look like the forged ones. He said he would test the validity of the certificate by bringing a suit before a justice of thr peace for tiie dividends due. Nothing further had been heard of the matter until a few moments before the tiling of suit for receiver, when he again demanded payment, and was refused. "The association feels that the plaintiff purposely has sought to establish her claim by means calculate! tn do it most injury, for in these times, when general distrust pervades the whole business world, a suspicion, whether rightfuly or wrongfullyraised, does vast harm and injustice. U feels that the plaintiff is trying to bulldoze her way to a claim which she knows to be unjust. Had she wished to establish the validity of her claim alone a good faith proceeding to that end would have answered the purpose, for once, established, the association has abundance of cash on hand to pay it. It is believed the suit Is prompted by malice and is probably instigated by others whose motives are those of the wrecker. "The association asks that the public withhold its judgment In the matter for the present." notick o ui:ci:iyi:ii malott. Action Token In Aecor1anee with Jtidge Wood' Per in I union. Judge V. A. Woods, of the United States Circuit Court, has granted permission to William A. Ketcham. attorney general of the State, to tile a notice In the court directed to Volney T.

Receiver Malott yesterday acknowledged the receipt of the decree of the court and said he was ready at any time to furnish tho General Assembly any information in his possession. TROX ESCAPES EASILY.

Kennl! from a Muddle In the Criminal Court. Yesterday William Tron, owner of the Kingston saloon, and his bartender were permitted, in the Criminal Court, to settle three joint indictments by the payment of a fine of $23 and costs In one case. There were three Indictments returned by the December grand Jury against these men jointly, charging them with selling liquor on Sunday, selling on Christmas and selling to a minor. The cases were set for hearing yesteruay, and when called Attorney Henry Spaan, for the defense, filed an affidavit for a change of venue from the judge. Judge McCray then appointed Charles F. Coflin, who is known to be the head of the civic league, to try the cases. This was a great surprise to Air.' Spaan. After a few moments' study he said: "While having no objections to Mr. Coffin as a man and a lawyer, I have strong objections to having him as a jutfge in this case. It is weir known that he is president of the Civic League, which hired detectives to secure the evidence on which these Indictments were, returned, and also that he contributed for the support of the league and for the hiring of the detectives. The attorneys for the defense have been furnished a list of names of those who contributed money for this' purpose, and I also find that Joseph Flack, who was foreman of the grand jury that returned the Indictments, was a contributor to that fund." . . , Mr. Flack had been summoned as a witness in the case and was present when this statement was made. He said nothing in reply. Mr. Wlltsie suggested that the cases go over until next week, and Mr. Coffin said that if the attorneys would agree on a date he would be present to try the cases. At this juncture of the proceedings Judge McCray was called into the courtroom. He looked from one party to the other and did not seem to know what to do. Mr. Coffin said that it is true that he is president of the 'Cfyic league, but that his connection. . UiV ; that , organization would not prevent hint from giving the cases a fair hearing. He denied that ho had contributed money to hire detectives. It was finally decided that the cases should go over until next Tuesday, and Mr. Coffin left the courtroom. When Judge McCray resumed his place the motion for a change of venue was withdrawn and a compromise was allowed by the bartender pleading guilty to one indictment and the others being nollled on motion of the State. This agreement had been reached with Mr. Wlltsie when it was seen what kind of a muddle affairs were gUing into. After tho settlement Judge McCray remarked that hereafter motions for a change of venue would have to be tiled the day before the trial, to which Mr. Spaan-replied: "Well, your Honor, we ' did not know which of the cases was to be tried. We had received no notice, and for that reason we could liot Hie our affidavit. I did not intend to put my head In the lion's mouth when Mr. Coffin was appointed. It is a matter of notoriety that he Is at the head of the Civic League, and the court never should have appointed him." Helen F. Book' Troubles. The troubles of 'Helen F. Buck have reached the justice of the peace courts. Recently she was interested In a divorce case and more recently she was examined by a sanity commission. Now Samuel E. Perkins, agent for the property at 60 Indiana avenue, where Mrs. Buck has kept a candy store, is trying to get possession of the place through Magistrate Lockmans court. When the constables went to the place yesterday to serve the writ of restitution they found it closed. They discovered that representatives of an installment house had already been there and relieved the place of much of the furniture. The store fixtures and stock were still there. The officers also noticed that the water pipes in the store, were frozen and broken. Mm. CordeH lluhth Divorce Suit. The eighth suit entitled Augusta Cordcs vs. Herman Cordes was filed in the Superior Court yesterday. She makes her usual charges of extreme cruelty, and asks for alimony of $25,000. Some of the charges of cruelty aro too filthy , for publication. Thursday the seventh case of this kind was on trial in the Circuit Court and Cordes made no defense to it until he was called to tho stand by Judge Allen. After questioning him the ccurt intimated that it was probable that the claims of the plaintiff could not be allowed. The case was then continued for a week, but was soon dismissed by the plaintiff, and yesterday a new complaint was tiled In tho Superior Court. TIIE COPUT RECORD. Supreme Court. 17!1?,. Coy vs. Gas Company. Marion S. C. Reversed. Howard. J. 1. Gas companies which have received from the proper authorities the franchise which provides for the accommodation of the general publicto the use of the gas under proper and reasonable regulations, owe a. duty to furnish gas to all persons who make proper application for Ra.J to be furnished them when they comply with such reasonable rules as may be fixed and make reasonable compensation therefor. 2. When a gas company contracts with a consumer to furnish him gas for fuel, in compliance with the rules of the company, a breach of the contract by the company is a tort. 3.

SHE WAS INSTANTLY KILLED. Little Ellen I.edwlck Fallx at Deaf and Dumb Institution. A fatal accident occurred at the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb yesterday evening. Little Ellen Lcdwick, the smallest child in the institution and the pet of everybody, both officers and teachers, fell from the second story to tho first and was instantly killed. It was at 5:30 o'clock, just as darkness caused the children to enter the house after their play on tho grounds. They were waiting the announcement of supper and were playing in the corridor of tho second floor of the middle building. Little Ellen, as usual, was setting the pace for whatever sport the girls undertook. She ran to tho head of the stairs and sprang upon the balustrade as If to slide down and get away from those who were following her. Behind her came Eva Holler, a child only six years old. She grabbed at Ellen as the latter threw herself upon the balustrade. Ellen lost her balance and fell. The girl fell only about fourteen feet, but she struck upon her head. When picked up blood was oozing from her mouth, ears and nostrils. The institution's physician was on hand in a few minutes after the accident and pronounced life extinct. It was his opinion that death resulted from a fracture at thb base of the brain. The coroner was notified and will hold an inquest and probably an autopsy to-day. This was the-dead girl's first year in the institution. She was bcrn April 15, 1ST0, and was therefore only six years old when admitted. This is younger than pupils are usuallv admitted, but the rule is sometimes varied In favor of exceptionally bright children who are smart enough to take care of themselves. She came from South Bend and was entered in tho institution through the efforts of the township trustee, Henry Wheeler. Her mother died about a year ago and her father is a wanderer, and a man who allowed his child to fall into tho care of the trustee. It is a coincidence that the rule was also suspended to admit the Holler child, who is younger than was Ellen Lcdwick. She has a sister in the institution who was there last term. It was represented to Superintendent Johnson that the girl's mother was about to be sent to the Insane Hospital at Logansport and that the child's older sister would be able to help care for her while at the institution. She came from Millwood, Kosciusko county. THE WORK OF RELIEF. Aid Estemlod to 1 ID Families YcntcrduyContri button.

At Plymouth Church last niRht a small audience listened to a lecture by Hamilton W. Mabie on "Society and Literature of America." Mr. Mabie is himself an uuthor of note, and a lecture from him on the subject proved to be a literary treat to those who heard him. Literature, he declared, was an important characteristic of anv nation, and a nation had not succeeded in well-balanced achievement of fame in the life among nations until it had established for Itself a literature commensurate with its progress on other lines. Ami, he. argued, without the literature there can be little real progress in other lines, but with the literature progress in other lines becomes a matter of course. Mr. Mabie said the United States had made wonderful progress, but it still licked a great national character in literature such as Shakspeare in England or Dante In Italy. The trouble, as he saw It. is that there are too many nationalities represented here, with too man national traditions. Amalgamation, he thought, would come In time, and then, but not until then, could the United States achieve all It is capable of. A Deulli nt the In Kline llopllnl. Mr?. Theresa Lorentz, an Inmate of the Central Hospital for tho Insane, died suddenly at 5 o'clock last evening. She whj suffering from chronic mania and had been In the asylum several times. She was last committed Sept. 10. IS!). She had leen ill for the last few days and was confined to her bed at the time of her death. Heart failure was the probable cause of her demise. She came from Jefferson county, and, so far as the officers of the Institution know, had no relatives.
