When Shelley was asked if his prospective bride was over eighteen years of age he turned to Smith, who remarked: “Os course she’s over eighteen. Site must be- oyer twenty-three. She was that old when she worked for us.’’ Deputy Clerk Feeler granted the license. Yesterday morning a woman visited the clerk's office and inquired if a license had been Issued her daughter. Myrtle Hicks. When informed that Shelley had taken out a license, the mother declared the girl was only fourteen years of age.

KILLED AT A CROSSING —: 4 MANGLED REMAINS OF A FATHER A\l) MIA DISCOVERED. Struck by the Fust Express on the Aunilalia Trainmen Thought They Had Killed a. tow, Addis Hawkins, fifty-five years old, and his son George, twenty-five years old, were killed yesterday morning at the place known as Wright’s crossing, about a mile and a half east of Ben Davis and abdut three and one-half miles west of this city. They wore driving in a top buggy from their home in Ben Davis to this city and w r ere struck by east-bound Vandalia passenger train No. 0, due here at 5:40 o’clock. There was no witness to the accident, but there was no trouble to understand bow it occurred. Albert Wright, a farmer and dairyman living near the railroad crossing, was first to discover the bodies of the men, and ho notified the coroner and police of tills city. A special train, consisting of a locomotive, caboose and coacli, was put at the disposal of the officials by the railroad, and at 8:30 o’clock Coroner Brayton, Police Captain Dawson and Patrolmen Busklrk, Cox and Lcppert went to the place of the accident. A score or more of people had collected there by the time the train reached the spot. Lying in the trench on the north side of the track within a lew feet of each other were the bodies of the two men. They were fully 150 feet from the crossing. From the blood and pieces of clothing it w r as evident the men had been knocked lifty feet at first and then struck again and again, and finally rolled off the track altogether. The remarkable circumstance is that neither body was mangled. The only outward indication of their injuries was a hole in the back of each head. On a closer examination it was found that the elder man had suffered a broken neck and the younger had one arm broken. The younger man’s skull was terribly fractured. The bodies were taken aboard the train and carried to Ben Davis and to the neat home which had been theirs in life. Mrs. Hawkins, the wife and mother, and Mrs. Carrie Pearson, a daughter and sister of the dead men, had already been informed of the sad fate of their dear ones, and were almost crazed with grief. Their grief was more than the hardened policemen could endure without being affected. The train w r as in charge of Conductor J. R. Hughes and Engineer Michael Barry. They did not know what had happened and did not stop the train. A report was made, on reaching the city, however, that they had struck something, presumably a cow. The train was running at the rate of about sixty miles an hour. The fate of the horse and buggy were the cause of considerable speculation by those who were at the scene of the accident. The body of the horse wa.< found between the roadway and a fence on the opposite side of the track from the bodies of the men. It had' been carried almost as far as the men and was mangled considerably. About forty feet from where the horse was struck its heart was found lying beside the track. The horse had evidently been thrown into the air ahead of the train and had alighted on the track in front of the engine at the point w'here its heart was torn out. The buggy was smashed into splinters and the pieces scattered for a hundred yards. Coroner Brayton was not inclined to express an opinion as to whether the trainmen were careless. He was not able to find any one who was willing to say the engineer did not sound the whistle, thougli those living near the crossing did not remember hearing it. The crossing is considered a dangerous one, and the people living west of the citx r who come in that way complain that the trainmen are nearly always careless in coming into the city. From Ben Davis to the Belt road it is down grade, and some of the trains run at dangerous speed. Train No. 6 had not stopped since it left Greencastle, and some who noticed it claim it was running faster than the fast trains usually run. Three people who live within a hundred yards of the railroad in the vicinity of Wright’s crossing are positive that the whistle of No. ti did not blow yesterday morning. Perspns coming into the city by way of this crossing have to depend almost entirely on the whistle to know of the approach of a train from the west, for, while the crossing is an open one on the east and on the west for persons going the other way, it is not so on the west for person* coming this way. There is a little piece of timbered land a short distance from the road. There have been accidents there before. About five years ago a Vandalia engineer was killed there. He had been out west of the city to buy a farm, and returning was euught at this crossing by a fast train due here at 2:30 o’clock in the afternoon. Persons coming that way into the city say they have had narrow escapes. The accident yesterday occurred at 5:30 o’clock. The Hawkinses were in the habit of coming to the city every morning at this hour. While they were well-to-do people, owning a tract of valuable land at Ben Davis and some rental property in this city, they went daily to work in this city. The father was a cooper and was employed in Haughville. George Hawkins was a molder and worked for Nordyke & Marmon. George Hawkins was single and lived with his father and mother at Ben Davis. The survivors of Addis Hawkins's family are his wife and daughter.

MAY SUE THE STATE. Damage Suits That May Grow Out of the Versailles Lynching)*. Attorney General Ketcham yesterday returned from a trip to Versailles. “There is not much to say about the trip.” said he. “I simply desired to have the prosecuting attorney furnished with some assistance and obtained permission from the court to allow Hugh D. AlcMullen, of Aurora, to be one of the attorneys for the prosecution. Further than this there is nothing at this time to be said.” “How about the report that a civil suit was likely to bo brought in the Federal Court by some relative of one of the lynched men?” “I have Understood,” said Air. Ketcham, “that such a suit may be brought.” It is said that Mrs. Jennings, the wife of one of the victims of the mob. has moved to Chicago for the purpose of establishing a residence in that city that she may institute suit in the Federal Circuit Court asking for heavy damages against the State and members of the mob. Morgan Levi, a brother of Lyle Levi, one of the victims, lives in Kentucky, and may also bring a similar suit. If tlie local authorities of Ripley county fail in bringing the members of the mob to justice and these suits in the Federal Court are brought, the whole disgraceful affair will be shown up without fear or favor before an unprejudiced tribunal. If the state has any other plan in view for bringing the lynchers to the bar there has as yet been no intimation as to what it may be. That both the Governor and the attorney general, however, are acting in accordance to some fixed plan cannot be doubted, and the next few weeks w ill likely bring out some interesting developments. At present it is the intention to give tho grand jury plenty of time and opportunity to perform its duty, and with an able lawyer. such as Mr. McMullen is reputed to be, assisting in the prosecution there is a reasonable hope that the jury will return some indictments. A strong basis for this hope is found in the marked change of sentiment in Ripley county. When the thieves were lynched the whole community applauded the art, hut since then the more respectable people have become aroused to a realization of the heinousness of the deed and tho disgrace which it. has cast upon them. As yet they feel the wisdom of keeping still, but at the same time they are ready to give such encouragement to the prosecution as they may do without gaining the ill will of their neighbors.

JUVENILE* MINSTRELS. Members of the Boy*’ Flub Appear in Black-Face Comedy. One of the most amusing entertainments ever given at the Propylaeum was the minstrel performance last evening by members of tho Boys’ Club for the benefit of the institution. The boys were in black luces and ridiculous costumes, and from the grand march, which marked their entrance, to the song “Enjoy Yourselves.” which was the chorus to take them from tho stage, the audience laughed. There were all the po'A ular songs of the day on the programme, interlarded with jokes and funny sayings and dances. One !x>y danced so remarkably -veil that he was twice recalled. He h. a genius in liis line. The overture for the entertainment was given by the Boys’ Brigade band, which played witti remarkable excellence several bright marches. The drum major proved an attractive figure with his fanciful twirling of the baton. Air. L. E. Peck is director of the orchestra, and lias drilled the boys with splendid ability. After the performance there was a dance, Mr. and Airs. John C. Dean were at the head of the entertainment, and they were assisted by the new president of the Boys’ Club board of managers, Maj. W. J. Richards, Mrs. Richards, Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Coffin, Mrs. J. H. Baker, Mrs. K. R. Butler, Mrs. A. J. Beveridge and Air. Clarence Zener. The proceeds of the concert will go to the Boys’ Club.

THE PROBLEM OF PARKS MAYOR AND CABINET WILL DISCUSS QUESTION OF APPRAISERS. Legality of the Board of Freeholders in Doubt—Will Talk It Over Again on Friday. There was a rather important discussion of the park question at the conference of the Board of Public Works, mayor, controller and city attorney yesterday afternoon. It was decided to have another conference Friday' afternoon at 2 o'clock, at which Messrs. Flack, Coffin and Burton, the park assessors appointed by the former Board of Park Commissioners, have been invited to be present. At that time whether or not the board has itself the right to appraise and fix the price to he paid for land that is intended for the park system, or whether it had better appoint disinterested and independent assessors, will be discussed further. Some members of the board think that the board itself should fix the values of the lands to be purchased, as the charter does not seem to provide for the appointment of assessors to fix the value of land to be taken for public purposes, but seems, by inference at least, to delegate that authority to the board itself. When a question of condemning and valuing the land on which the station house is located came up it was considered necessary to appoint disinterested freeholders for that purpose, as is done in other legal condemnation proceedings, but afterward the board was informed that the charter did not provide for the appointment of appraisers and that the board itself ought to act in that capacity. Appraisers have been appointed in street openings without apparent warrant. This question is one of considerable importance to property owners whose land is to be taken, as on it hinges the question of whether the board, itself ostensibly interested in getting property for parks at the lowest figure, would be as impartial in fixing the price to be paid as disinterested persons. Some lawyers say that the section of the charter which seems to give the Board of Works the right to take private lands for city purposes is deficient because there is no provision for the appointment of assessors to fix its value; that there is a grave question of the board's right to act in that respect, and that if litigation results over the proposal to make a park system it will be over this very failing. The park law was explicit on this question; it conferred on the park commissioners the power of eminent domain, but at the same time provided specific procedure for determining the price to be paid property owners for the land taken from them. Section 64 of the charter, however, authorizes the Board of Works, among other things, to assess benefits and damages when it desires to appropriate or condemn “any property, real or personal,” or to lay out, change, open or vacate any street, alley “or public place.” The administration believes that the powers are sufficiently vested in the board. No question has been ever raised as to the board's authority to open a street, and the charter seems to make the opening of “public places” of the same character. From what can be learned there will be some litigation when the board names the price it will pay for land and proceeds to take possession of it. It seems likely that the board will itself make the appraisements, being guided very largely by the figures compiled by Messrs. Fiack, Coffin and Burton when they were the legal assessors, although it is known that the price fixed by the assessors is from half to two-thirds, lower that the valuation set on the land by the property owners. Another matter discussed yesterday was whether or not the hoard may prepare for introduction in Council a blanket ordinance authorizing it to purchase the entire White river and Fall creek park system, describing the various tracts, or whether separate ordinances should be introduced covering each separate piece of ground that is worth more than $2.01)0. Mr. Kern seemed to think that a blanket ordinance would be proper, from what was said after the conference, and it is probable that such an. ordinance will be prepared, as it would save much time and the expense of publication. This subject will be further discussed Friday. The work of Park Engineer Power and his corps of engineers has proceeded so far that an ordinance of the kind contemplated could be prepared with comparatively little trouble and in a short time. The work that was done under the. old Park Board furnishes figures and genera' data that greatly reduce the work that is now' required of a purely clerical character. DEATH OF MULLEN. Paused Away at Her Son’s Home, on North Senate Avenue. Airs. Mary Bender Alullen died last night at 9:15 o'clock of heart disease at the home of her son, William F. Alullen, 905 North Senate avenue, in her seventy-ninth year. Mrs. Alullen had been an invalid for a number of years. Her husband, William Alullen, is eighty-one years of age and has not been in business for a long time. Airs. Alullen’s maiden name was Mary Bender Fitler. She was born in Philadelphia.

A QUESTION IN PAVING ABILITY OF THE BOARD TO ADOPT ALTERNATIVE RESOLUTIONS. This Course Adopted for n Number of St reel*—N ew Detect! ve Employed. Last year the Board of Public Works followed anew procedure in street improvements, adopting two separate sets of resolutions, one providing for creosoted block pavement and the other for macadam pavement on North Capitol avenue, announcing that this course was followed to ascertain the wishes of a majority of property owners in regard to which kind of pavement should be made. When a majority remonstrated against a certain kind of work the board Intended to take final action for the other kind. Owing to litigation that was begun, however, after block pavement was ordered, all proceedings were rescinded and anew resolution was adopted. Owing to this fact a very interesting question was not raised at that time. That was whether the board had the legal right to adopt two separate sets of resolutions covering the same section of a given street, each providing for a different sort of improvement. It had been announced that the board intended to follow that course with reference to live improvement of the east-and-west streets south of Sixteenth street this year. Yesterday morning the board adopted resolutions providing for both asphalt and creosoted block pavement on Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, St. Joe, Pratt, New Jersey streets, and Southeastern avenue, intending to allow the majority of the property owners on the respective thoroughfares decide which sort of pavement should he used. Alcmbers of the Board of Works heard that, attorneys were asserting that the board had no right to adopt such a half-way course under the charter and that it must decide at the outset in favor of one particular material. It was asserted that if the course outlined were pursued a suit to stop ali improvements would be instituted. In view of this fact the board held a conference with City Attorney Kern in the afternoon. Mr. Kern held that the board could legally only adopt one resolution providing for the sort of pavement that was to be laid. Consequently the board decided to rescind the action it had taken at the morning meeting for both kinds of pavements on each street and will to-mor-row adopt resolutions for asphalt pavement on Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, St. Joseph and New Jersey streets and creosoted block for Tenth and Pratt streets and Southeastern avenue. The work on these improvements will be pushed as rapidly as possible, as it is the hope of the administration to have all east-and-west streets south of Sixteenth (old Seventh) street permanently improved ere the great horde of bicyclists come here to the L>. A. W. meet in August. It is understood that if there is a sufficient number of remonstrances to defeat the improvement of the several streets that the resolutions will be sent to the Council. The streets named above are divided into different sections In the resolutions adopted. and separate contracts will be let on different sections. Some of the property owners object to this; they suy that if a street that is to be improved continuously from one given point to another were Included in one, big contract, the price would be materially reduced on the whole and residents of the street would have a uniform price to pay. Under the system that is to be followed one section of a street may have to pay a higher price than residents in the next block. In answer to this it is said that some portions of a street are wider than others, and that it is only fair that the residents of the wider portions should pay more than those lMng on narrower sections. The streets that are to be improved bv sections are as follows: Pratt street, from Delaware street to Senate avenue; Pratt street, from Delaware to Alabama street: Pratt street, from Alabama street to Fort Wavne avenue; St. Joseph street, from Illinois to Pennsylvania street; St. Joseph street, from Delaware street to Fort Wayne avenue; Tenth street, from Illinois street to Senate avenue; Tenth street, from Meridian to Illinois street: Tenth street, from Pennsylvania to Delaware street; Eleventh street, from Capitol to Senate avenue; Eleventh ™ re^t’.frorn Delaware to Alabama street; twelfth street, from Illinois street to Senate avenue; Twelfth street, from Delaw-are to Alabama street; Thirteenth street, from Central to College avenue; Thirteenth street, from Delaware street to Central avenue; Thirteenth street, from Aleridian to Illinois street: Thirteenth street, from Illinois street to Senate avenue; Fourteenth street, from Pennsylvania to Delaware street; Fourteenth street, from Meridian to Pennsylvania street; Fourteenth street from Illinois street to Senate avenue - Southeastern avenue, from Washington street to State avenue; Fifteenth street, from Central to College avenue; Fifteenth street, from Delaw-are street to Central avenue_; Fifteenth street, from Illinois street to Senate avenue; New Jersey street. Dom Thirteenth to Sixteenth street. M. A. Downing, president of the Board of works, said that the decision of the eitv attorney would ha\ - e no effect on the Cap-itol-avenue improvement, inasmuch as the board only adopted one resolution on the proceeding that finally went through. Previous resolutions for block and macadam both were rescinded.

AEAV DETECTIVES. Force Almost Doubled—Board of Safely Meeting. Permanent appointments were made by the Board of Safety for the detective force of tho city yesterday that increases the number of detectives from six to eleven. Since Chief Colbert has been in charge there have been but six regular detectives, although a number of patrolmen were detailed for special detective work. Yesterday they were formally promoted to the office and salary of detectives. Detectives receive $2.50 a day, patrolmen $2.25. The men promoted were Patrolmen Gerber, Weible, John Morgan, Dugan and Asch. These, with Chief Colbert and Detectives Splann. Stout, Kinney, Wilson and Thornton, constitute the force. Since Colbert was made chief it is said that the work of the detective, force has been more efficient, as the new political division has less handicaps front the administration than the old force. Splann, Thornton, Gerber and Morgan are the only Republicans. George Mumford and John Ryan, Democrats. and Charles Schuok, Republican, were promoted from the sub fire-force roll to regular firemen. George J. Dudley, -who failed to fill the office of bond clerk in Controller Johnson’s office satisfactorily, owdng to his lack of experience, was yesterday made weighmaster, ‘vice Thomas F. Harrow, who succeeds him in the controller's office, as already announced. The board contracted with Sander & Recker for desks and furniture for the central police station at $1,196.40. Police Surgeon Christian informed the board of some arrangements in the cellhouses of the new station which he does not regard as entirely sanitary. He also objects that the detention room is too dark and not airy enough. His observations were referred to the Board of Works. FOR A DOG CATCHER. Rnueli Preparing for u New >1 u n lei pu I Dignitary. Councilman Rauch has had an ordinance prepared providing for the establishment of a dog pound and the appointment of a poundmastor by the mayor at a salary of S6OO a year, it provides that no dogs, licensed or unlicensed, shall be permitted on the street, unless led with a chain or cord, or securely muzzled. Police officers are required to take stray dogs to the pound. Private citizens who ci.pt ure and take to the pound stray dogs are to receive 25 rents for each dog delivered to the )K>undmaster. Owners are required to pay a fee of $1 to rescue their dogs from the pound and must take out a dog license where that has not already been done. Dogs in the pound are to be sold at auction after published notice. If not bold they are to be killed in a humane way and the carcasses sold. * Telephone Company's Franchise. Tho New Telephone Company expects to apply to the Board of Public Works some time in the next week or ten days for a Xxuuchlbc. S. F. Shocrin uutl others inter*

ested tn the company have been presenting their claims for a franchise to the counoilmen, so that everything may move as rapidly as possible. It is understood the company will want from the city a franchise as liberal as that grunted the Central Union Company, which pays $6,000 a year for the right to operate.

GAY "STREETS OF CAIRO” SEEN IN ATTRACTIVE Nil MATURE AT TOMLINSON HALL. The Midway, Congre** of Beauty and llagc n Peek's Menn aerie—Hen ell I of Girl*’ Iml list rin I Sehool. Tomlinson Hall presented a gay appearance last night to tho visitors of the World’s Fair Carnival and Midway Plaisance being given under the auspices of the managers of the Girls' Industrial Sehool. Around tho three sides of the hall under the balcony are grouped the scenes of the various villages, while the busy, exciting “Streets of Cairo’’ occupy the entire stage, with the exception of one corner, which is oeccupied by refreshment tables. At the entrance ways to the various villages young ladies in the picturesque costumes of the nations of the old world stood about ready to do the honors and through half concealed doorways the visitors caught glimpses of the interiors of pretty booths that aroused curiosity as to what lay beyond. The hall was filled with a din and bustle that was a strong reminder of the famous scenes that are copied here with a great deal of fidelity, a loud-voiced crier in front of the “Congress of Beauty’’ to the right of the stage shrilly calling attention to his great attraction, while another mountebank was booming the attractions of the "Streets of Cairo” in the most approved world’s fair style. Flitting through the hall were the inhabitants of the villages, adding with their bright costumes an air of brightness and lightness to the scene. To the left of the main entrance to the hall is an Indian village and the wild cries of the savage braves going through a war dance were sufficiently terrifying and formed no small part of the general hubbub. Another attraction is to be added to-day. In the large open space in front of the stage a Ferris wheel twen-ty-five feet in height, with cars for carrying eight passengers, is to be placed. With this addition Tomlinson Hall will resemble even more than now the original Midway. Hast night the attendance was good, considering it was the opening evening, and all those who came seemed to be particularly well pleased with tlie entertainment provided for them. It would be impossible to mention all the attractions, beginning with the reproduction of Hagen beck's menagerie, to the left of the stage, containing a cage of monkeys arid other animals, running around the hall and including the Japanese village, where a palmist tells fortunes, and Blarney Castle, where to-day a blarney stone will be added to the attractions. In Blarney Castle there Is a stage on which Irish airs are sung and Irish dances given. A little farther around the hall comes the German village and old Vienna, where refreshments are served. On the right side of the hall are the Moorish Palace, Congress of Beauty. Turkish village and other attractions. The Congress of Beauty is unique. The “beauties” are young boys, made up and costumed to represent the ladies of an Oriental palace. This show was considered great fun by those who saw it. An attraction of the Streets of Cairo is an Oriental wedding with quaint ceremonies. The managers hope that from to-night for the remaining five nights of the show the attendance will justify the trouble and expense that have been expended to furnish the public with an innocent form of amusement in return for money that is to be used in the charitable interest of the Girls’ Industrial School.

BASKET BALL' AT Y. M. C. A. The C'rawfordsvllle Teum Defeated 1> bocal Players. An interesting basket ball game was given at the Y. M. C. A. last evening between the Craw’fordsville and Indianapolis teams. The contest was witnessed by a large crowd. Although the visitors did excellent team w'ork, they made only two points, both free throws, against a score of nine points by their opponents. Os the points made by Indianapolis, Ora Pierson scored two, Charles Pierson six and Ryse one. The excellent defense work of Purves and Hester was shown by the fact that the home team continued, to keep the ball at its own goal. The teams lined up as follows. Crawfordsville. Position, Indianapolis. Taylor Heft Forward Fleming Alexander ...Right Forward.. Pierson, Ora (Jill Center.. Pierson, Churles McClamrock ...Heft Guard Purves Myers Right Guard Hester Shipp Substitute Harden Seawright Substitute Ryse Prof. Zinks, of Butler College, was referee, and the umpires were ,T. C. Herron, physical director of Crawfordsville, and Ernest Shillaber, assistant physical director of Indianapolis. Between the first and second half a wrestling match was given between John Dyer and Charles Moore for the championship lightweight of the local Y. M. C. A. The match was very exciting, neither man receiving a fall. They will meet again to a finish in the near future. Social Turner* Vs. German-American* The postponed bowling game between the Social Turners and Gernmn-Americans was played last night on the Independent Turner alleys and was won by the Social Turners by 113 points.
