AMUSEMENTS. Park—“A Fair Rebel.” Park Theater audiences saw “A Fair Rebel" for the first time here in several years. The play was more acceptable than “Captain Herne." Louise Renting assumed the title role and the exciting story of life In Virginia during the war was entertainingly handled. The enthusiasm over the scene showing the escape of Union prisoners from Libby prison was one of the features of yesterday’s performances. The war spirit was rife all through the production and there is sufficient comedy during the action to give the audience opportunity to laugh. The specialties between the several acts are greatly enjoyed. "A Fair Rebel" will be repeated this afternoon and to-night for the last times. The strongest bill of the week. "Alabama.” will be seen the rest of the week and will remain at the Park for Decoration day. Married to a Bigamist.

COLBERT IS ACQUITTED — t AND ’SQUIRE HAY’S OUTRAGED DIGNITY FINOS NO BALM. —♦ Wife of a Prominent Business Man Sues for Support Appellate Court Decisions. ■ Justice of the Peace Sears yesterday tried the case in which Thomas F. Colbert, chief detective of the city force, was charged with "obstructing legal process.” The case was originally brought in Justice Hay’s court, but was tried by Magistrate Sears on a change of venue. The defendant was discharged by Sears. Colbert frustrated the attempt of a constable to serve a warrant on a man who was being taken to Chicago on the fugitive charge. Colbert thrust the constable aside as he was about to read the warrant. Justice Sears in his decision held that had the constable actually served the warrant on the prisoner and afterward been prevented by Colbert from taking the man there might have been a case against the detective. The prosecution maintained that it was not necessary for the constable to read the warrant. The evidence showed that the constable said: “1 don’t wish to disturb you, gentlemen, but I have a warrant for Mr. Cadmus.” At the same time, it was shown, the constable laid his hand on the prisoner’s arm and was pushed away by Detective Colbert, who explained that he could not take the prisoner if it took the whole Indianapolis police department to prevent it. The state held that the announcement of the constable that he had a warrant for Cadmus was sufficient, as the prisoner must have understood that he was the person meant without the reading of the warrant. OPINION HANDED DOWN. First Session of May Term in the Appellate Court. Yesterday was rule day in the Appellate Court, and the first session for the May term was held. Judge Robinson was succeeded by Judge Henley as chief judge for the term. A number of opinions were handed down. The court adjourned until June 7, when the Supreme Court is also to convene. A decision by which Alice Stockberger was given judgment for $4,200 against John Walters, by the Miami Circuit Court, was reversed. The judgment was for an alleged breach of a marriage contract. The judgment of the Hamilton Circuit Cqurt against the administrator of tlfc estate of Emma Stewart was reversed. Mrs. Stewart was a colored woman. She was killed in a freight elevator of the Commercial Club building four years ago. A verdict for $2,750 was rendered in favor of her mother and sisters. This is held to be excessive. The evidence showed she sometimes gave her mother $2.50 a week. The court holds that a judgment for $2,000 would have produced an annuity of more than her total earnings amounted to. The appeal of Center school township from a judgment in favor of the school city of West Indianapolis for Its proportion of the dog tax collected several years, was dismissed. Since the annexation of West Indianapolis the Board of School Commissioners has been substituted as the proper party to the suit. A judgment in its favor was rendered a few weeks ago by the Supreme Court In the case of Koethe, Wells & Bauer against the Krag-Reynolds Company the court held that a chattel mortgage in favor of the latter company to secure a debt of $958 was invalid, because the notary public taking the acknowledgment was interested in the instrument as a stockholder and director of the company, and was. therefore, incapacitated from acting in an official capacity. The judgment was reversed.

SUING FOR SUPPORT. Wife of a Prominent Stone Contractor Appeal* to the Courts. In the Circuit Court yesterday Lena Ittenbach began an action against Gerhard L. Ittenbach, Francis Ittenbach, John Ittenbach and Michael Schumacher. The plaintiff is the wife of Gerhard L. Ittenbach. who, with the other defendants, is engaged in business under the firm name of G. Ittenbach & Cos., proprietors of the steam stone works, at 916 Harrison street, this city. The plaintiff is suing her husband for support. She claims she was deserted by him on May 21, 1898, being left without sufficient provision for her support. Plaintiff avers that at the time of her marriage she owned an estate worth about $9,000, which she inherited from her father. The greater part of the property, she charges, has been squandered by her husband. She asks that her husband’s interest in the firm of Ittenbach & Cos. be applied to the support of herself and children and to the payment of interest on a mortgage on the home and for taxes and repairs on the property. Will Not Hurry Them. Attorney Ritter, who brought the suit for injunction against Tron’s “Fair Bank” and Kissel’s garden, will not attempt to procure a temporary restraining order against these resorts. He said yesterday that if the defendants would agree the cases would probably be brought before the court some time in June. In the event that this is not done, the matter will not come up before nejet September, when the courts convene after the summer vacation. THE COURT RECORD. Supreme Court. 17007. Abbitt vs. L. E. & W. R. R. Cos. Marion S. C. Affirmed. Jordan, J.—l. An instruction to the jury is not only required to state correct legal principles, but it should so state them that the jury may be able to apply them to the particular to which they are germane. 2. It is usurpation of the functions of the jurors for the court to tell them what inferences or conclusions they ought to draw from a given fact or series of facts. 18358. Paul vs. Town of Walkerton. St. Joseph C. C. Reversed. Monks. J.—l. In a proceedings before the county commissioners under Sections 4426 and 4427, Burns’s R. S. 1894, to annex territory to a town, the petition therefor is sufficient when it shows that many persons in the territory have been receiving the benefits and advantages of the town without bearing their share of its burdens, and that public interests require that said territory be annexed and that it is just and equitable and for public good that the petition be granted. 2. The power to hear and determine applications for the annexation of contiguous unplatted territory to towns and cities is vested in the boards of commissioners and in the courts on appeal from the boards, and on appeal the case is tried de novo, and in trying such a case where the remonstrator appeals unless the petitioner introduces some evidence in support of the annexation it is error for the court to direct the jury to direct a verdict in favor of the petitioner. 18359. George vs. Town of Walkerton. St. Joseph C. C. Reversed. Monks. J.—This case is reversed on the authority of No. 18358. Paul vs. Appellee. 18364. B. & O. & C. Ry. Cos. vs. Town of Walkerton. St. Joseph C. C. Reversed. Monks. J.—This case is recovered on the authority of No. 18358, Paul vs. Appellee. 18455. Bank of Commerce vs. First National Bank. Vanderburg S. C. Affirmed. Hackney, C. J.—Where a creditor takes a mortgage on property, it then being apparent that all prior liens can be fully paid from other property covered by them, the right to require such payment will continue and be protected as against such prior liens. 18353. Travelers' Insurance Company vs. Kent. White C. C. Affirmed. Howard, J. —Property owned by one person and used by another for educational purposes is subject to taxation. Appellate Court. 2470. Kothe vs. Krag-Reynolds Company. Hancock C. C. Reversed. Wiley, J.—A person who is stockholder and secretary of a corporation is incompetent to take arid certify the acknowledgment of a mortgage or other instrument which inures to the benefit of such corporation, and the recordation of an instrument so acknowledged is not notice to subsequent lien holders. 2485. Center School Township vs. West Indianapolis. Marion S. C. Dismissed. Wiley. J.—l. Before the Appellate Court can determine the sufficiency or a pleading such pleading must be brought before it for review in the manner prescribed by law and the rules of practice. 2. Affidavits that part of the pleadings of a case are lost will not answer as a substitute for the pleading. 2471. Hill vs. Warner. Howard C. C. Reversed. Robinson, J.—l. The mere fact that a third party agrees with a payor of an Indebtedness to pay the same will release the payor in the absence of an agreement with the payee to the same effect. 2. Nova-

tlon is anew contract made with the intent to extinguish one already in existence; It is a mutual agreement between all the parties interested. 2514. Kennedy vs. C.. C., C. & St. L. Ry. Cos. Madison C. C. Reversed. Henley, C. J.—Where a railroad company entered upon the real estate owned by a minor, appropriated it to the use of a right of way, without any legal proceedings therefor, and afterwards the company transfers all its effects and rights to another company, the minor on arriving at the age of twenty-one years is entitled to an assessment of damages under Sections 905, 906 and 909, R. S. 1881. 2525. Christian Church vs. Shoemaker estate. Wells C. C. Reversed. Comstock, J.—A special finding must find the facts and not mere matter of evidence. 2478. Smith vs. Deitrich. Marshall C.

When a debtor has delivered to his creditor the amount due him or placed in his hands the means by which it may be realized, without conditions, the debtor looses the right of preference. 2. A factor to whom goods are consigned for sale has a lien upon the goods or proceeds from the sale thereof not only for any expenses that he may have incurred in connection with the particular goods, but also for the balance due him from his principal on their general account. 2398 Geddis vs. Board of Commissioners.

NAMED A STATE TICKET PROHIBITIONISTS OBJECT TO THE NOTION OF A FUSION, But They Have the ’’lnitiation and Referendum” Plank in Their Plntform—The Candidates. e The state convention of the Prohibition party met yesterday in Plymouth Church. It declined to be caught by the Populistic bait for fusion and nominated the following ticket, independent of all other parties: For Secretary of State—Aaron Worth, Jay county. For Auditor of State—Rev. M. A. Farr, Greencastle. For Treasurer of State—Prof. J. F. Kinsey, Lafayette. For Attorney General—B. F. Watson, Indianapolis. For Superintendent of Public InstructionProf. E. A. De Vore, Richmond. For Clerk of the Supreme Court—Dr. D. W. Welch. Mount Vernon. For State Geologist—Verne E. Baldwin, Amboy. For State Statistician —J. O. Ledbetter, Frankfort. No nominations were made for the three places to be filled on the Supreme Court bench. The selection of men for these places was left to the new state central committee. The work of the convention proceeded as though the success of a party depended on ito result. Every one of the three hundred delegates seemed to be in dead earliest and great interest was manifested in the proceedings. The question of fusion with the Populists did not come before the convention in a formal way, and it would never have received encouragement had it been introduced. The nearest approach to it came with the introduction of the resolutions forming the platform. The platform was brief. One plank favored the initiative and referendum and was considered by some to be a stepping stone toward fusion. It was accordingly opposed. When, however, the delegates who favored the platform convinced those who had opposed it that they favored it for itself alone, and not because it might be a stepping stone to fusion, the platform was adopted as a whole. It is as follows: “Acknowledging Almighty God as the author or government, we, the Prohibitionists of the State of Indiana, trusting in Him for help and guidance, do hereby submit the following declarations: “First—Believing the licensed liquor traffic to be contrary to the law of God and detrimental to the best interests of humanity, as demonstrated by experience and confirmed both by the consensus of the most eminent scientists and the Supreme Court of our Nation, and that its suppression is the greatest moral, social and financial question that is now before the American people for solution, we reaffirm our unchangeable purpose to divorce our governments, state and national, from all complicity in the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. "Second—Believing that the right to vote is inherent In citizenship, we declare our conviction that no one should be disqualified to perform this function on account of sex. “Third—Believing that the degree of democracy held by our forefathers to be essential to the perpetuity of republican government has been in a measure usurped by unscrupulous and self-seeking politicians, and that the individual rights of the people to a voice in the government should be fully restored to them, we declare in favor of direct legislation, commonly known as the initiative and referendum, as the best means of securing this end.” The convention was called to order by State Chairman Crist, and M. W. Harkins, of Anderson, was elected permanent chairman. B. F. W’atson, of this city, was chosen as permanent secretary. The new state central committee was made up as follows: First District—Dr. D. W. Welch, of Mount Vernon. Second—W. H. Crowder. Sullivan. Third—Jesse B. Davis, Scottsburg. Fourth—Henry Tomson, Greensburg. Fifth—Frederick L. Ray, Terre Haute. Sixth—R. M. Julian. Wilkinson. Seventh—J. B. Hann. Indianapolis. Eighth—L. C. Masters, Muncie. Ninth— R. A. Graffis. Frankfort. Tenth—J. 11. MeCully. Idaville. Eleventh—William Trueblood. Kokomo Twelfth—M. T. BUbop. St. Joe Station. Thirteenth—B. Uline. Nappanee. M. W. Harkins was elected chairman of the committee and it was decided that the active work of the campaign should be done by him. A popular subscription of SBOO was

raised in the convention and the chairman of the committee was authorized to devote two years of his time to the work of strengthening the Prohibition party. The convention adopted a resolution condemning the "army canteen.” as inaugurated at Camp Thomas. Chlckamauga. It also adopted the following resolution in support of the government: "Resolved. That our most sincere sympathies are extended toward, and our ardent prayers shall ascend for, our national government in its righteous endeavor to break the oppressive and murderous pow’er or Spain and give deliverance and liberty to the struggling people of Cuba.” MRS. KLINE'S CONFESSION. Mrs. Goodin Says It Is Part of a. Conspiracy. There were no new developments yesterday in the case in which Mrs. Goodin and Mrs. Kline are charged with conspiracy to injure Dr. Haskinson by throwing vitriol In her face. Mrs. Kline still says she threw the acid and sticks to her story involving Mrs. Goodin as the person whom she was serving In doing the fiendish act. Mrs. Goodin was told yesterday of Mrs. Kline's confession, but persisted In the statement that the confession was made as a part of a conspiracy to injure her. Superintendent Quigley tried to get a statement from Mrs. Goodin, but she remained silent on the advice of her lawyers. The superintendent says he has enough evidence to convict both women without using Mrs. Kline's confession. He declines to make public some of the points of evidence, but says they arc stronger against Mrs. Goodin than anything yet disclosed, w'ith the exception of the confession. COTTAGE DAY AT ACTON © IT W AS MORE LARGELY' ATTENDED YESTERDAY THAN USUAL. © Arranging the Preliminaries for the Camp Meeting;—Progminiue Mapped Out. • © There was an unusually large attendance yesterday at the Acton Assembly grounds and the farmhouse was taxed to its capacity for the dinner hour. The trains arrived close to the noon hour. Many flocked through the avenues and groves to the cottages, with their shoe boxes and baskets filled with luncheon and took possession in parties. A dozen or more Shelbyville and Indianapolis people had a gay time at one cottage. There were Farmland and Franklin people at another, Greensburg and other places were also represented. Those who went to the farm house of Mrs. Brenton had a real country dinner (ft stewed chicken, preaerves, pickles, six vegetables, three kinds of desert and a table groaning with wholesome dinner. The ball from the auditorium announced the hour for the business session, the cause of the meeting. Cottages were opened for an airing and then at the ringing of the second bell the cottagers went In groups to the auditorium. Rev. J. W. Dashiell, of Aurora, president of the association, led the way, rang the bell and made himself useful wherever necessary. Rev. Mr, Robertson led in prayer and song and Mr. George Gadd, the secretary, read the minutes of the last meeting. Mr. George Hodell, who holds the double office of superintendent and treasurer, made his twofold report, showing his receipts to be $2,495.96 and the disbursements $2,516.81. The question agitating the association this year is the building of a lake. Each cottager was taxed $5, but only $67.50 has been paid and that was used to rebuild the dam, which was washed away in the spring freshet. It was finally decided to make a list of those who had paid and those who would pay to see if there would be funds to drill the well and put In the steam pump to keep the lake filled with fresh water. There are some who are opposed to the lake as being a source of danger, and also those who deem the lake, as It now is, an impracticable bit of engineering. Mr. Hodell, who holds the funds, objects to incurring any further indebtedness. It was the intention to have the lake ready by the time of the assembly meeting, and hopes were entertained that it would be a decided attraction.

Note*. There was not a quorum for the trustees’ meeting. Real four posters may be found in some of the cottages with relics of old fashions that tvould delight the collector. Novel ways of closing cottages for the season were disclosed; double locks, bars and keys that defy any marauder. The railroads offer one-half fare, and Junior League day children under fifteen years are carried two for half fare. There was a general real estate business done. Announcements were made at the meeting of cottages for nent, the prices ranging from $2 to sl6 for the season. The loss of a refrigerator by a housewife caused a ripple, for the loser modestly asked “any one who borrowed my refrigerator will please return it by July.” Acton is an old assembly place. It was laid out before the war by Mr. J. M. W. Langsdale. and for twenty-one years after the war J. H. V. Reed was the superintendent. Chatty reunions of old friends marked the day. One prominent woman in particular received calls and took an interest in all proceedings—Mrs. Bookwalter, who Is seventy-nine years old and is said to have the youngest heart on the grounds. The Women’s Missionary Society held a meeting and decided to rent the other half of the house they now occupy and put the place in charge of a custodian for the season, Members and other women will be accommodated for 25 cents a day for a cot. Country and hotel board is convenient. Dr. John N. Hurty w f as asked to examine the water from the wells at Acton Park and also to give his opinion in regard to the lake. The report was not ready to read at the meeting. Mr. Hurty’s report will be to abolish the lake, as it will be unsanitary, and the houses that are set on low ground will have to be raised. The water from the wells is healthy. A number of cases of typhoid fever have resulted from residence at the grounds, and the lake is supposed to be the cause of it. For this reason the judgment of Mr. Hurty is to do away with the lake altogether. Numbers of persons expressed themselves yesterday as willing to contribute to the drilling of an artesian well, and others suggested that a fine well with proper bathhouses would do much to advance the popularity of Acton Park. In dew of this fact the trustees will probably call another meeting soon to decide the question, which is the only one at present that dtstresaes the residents. Dewey March—'Two Step.

MANY YOUNG LAWYERS ♦ LARGE CLASS IS GRADUATED FROM THE INDIANA LAW SCHOOL. © The Annual Commencement Exercise® Took Place Last Night —Gen. Harrison Presided. © Fifty-five young men from this and adjoining States last night walked out of the Grand Opera House, each proudly carrying a sheep skin declaring to the world, under authority of the University of Indianapolis, that he Is a bachelor of law and entitled to all that that degree means. It was the occasion of the fourth annual graduating exercises of the Indiana Law School department of the University of Indianapolis A goodly crowd of frier.Js of the school had assembled to bid the “new lawyers” godspeed in their life’s work. As is meet in these times of war, the Grand Opera House presented a scene not wholly typical of the peaceful pursuit of the lawyer. Flags and bunting were every place. Two immense American flags with a rosette between them were draped to the right and left within the proscenium arch, completely filling Its upper half. Hanging from the balcony and gallery rails and draped around the boxes were more of the national colors, while beautiful silk flags covering two vacant chairs among the students on the stage told the story of J. L. Ketcham, Jr., and Thomas B. Coulter, who are now at Chickamauga with Indiana’s troops. The exercises last night were presided over by General Harrison. His introduction of the purpose of the gathering was brief and characteristic of the man. "We are assembled to-night,” he said, "to take part In the exercises connected with the close of the fourth year of the Indiana Law School of the University of Indianapolis. The exercises of the evening will be opened by an Invocation by Rev. Dr. Milburn.” Dr. Milburn was followed by Mr. Byron Overstreet, who sang "The Two Grenadier” after which General Harrison introduced R. S. Taylor, of Fort Wayne, who delivered the address of the evening. In Introducing the speaker Mr. Harrison said: It may be of interest to the audience to know that the Indiana Law School graduates to-night a class of fifty-five members. These young gentlemen are about to enter what we sometimes speak of as the warfare of life, but 1 am told by the dean of the faculty that out of this fine body of young men who during the last year have been connected with the Indiana Law School thirteen have enlisted under the banner of their country and are now In the camp of the regiments of Indiana and Illinois ready to go forth to battle for its defense. (Applause.) It is a proud record, and I mention the fact to you with personal gratification and pride in which I axn sure you will participate. We are to be permitted now to listen to an address from a gentleman who never discusses any subject without illuminating It and never addresses any audience, however cultured or educated, without instructing it. I have the pleasure of introducing to you one of the most eminent members of the bar of Indiana, the Hon. Robert S. Taylor, of Fort Wayne, who will speak on "The Opportunities of the I.aw.” Judge Taylor’s subject was "The Opportunities of the Law.” It was not the opportunities of the law, but the opportunity of the lawyer, that was really discussed. Judge Taylor gave a pretty severe rap to the too common opinion that a lawyer should keep clear of politics to be successful, but instead advised that after the political issues are made up every lawyer should leave his office for two or three weeks and actively discuss the questions before the people In a way to enlighten them on the issues. After the campaign is over, he said, every lawyer should return to his office and forget all about politics and campaigns in the bustle attendant upon his duties.

Judge Taylor spoke of the growth of the law and of the part the lawyer has in making it, and showed that in many instances the bare-naked principle declared by some one will live and carry that man’s name down to centuries when all that caused the first declaration to be made is long since dead and forgotten. The contribution of any one man to the world's great store of law is only as a part of a drop of water is to a mighty river. While not ignoring a lawyer’s necessity of making money. Judge Taylor said that the seeking of wealth In itself should really be a secondary thought to every true lawyer. While money and wealth even is necessary to all humanity, it is not the one essential to guide one's actions through life. The speaker thought that a little money and a good name, the respect and esteem of a /community, Is better than more money, not coupled with this respect and esteem, and urged upon the class the wisdom of not seeking the money unless the other elements accompany it. Miss Amy Jacobs rendered a piano solo at the close of Mr. Taylor’s address, which was received with the I- :d approval of the audience, sufficiently so .o recall her for an encore number. After this Judge Timothy E. Howard of the Supreme Court, conferred the degree of bachelor of laws upon the students, and administered to them the oath required for admission to practice in the Supreme Court of the State. Mr. Addison C. Harris spoke of the ancient custom of athletic contests among young men for prizes, and then awarded the prizes that have been won by the students this year. The three prizes for the best grades on examinations went to Morris McDonald Townley. George Willard Sorber and Burton B. Berry in the order named. The prize for the best paper on "The Law of Real Property in Indiana” was also awarded to Mr. Townley, and the prize for the best paper on "Property Rights in Mineral Oil and Natural Gas” was awarded to Mr. George Oscar Dix. The programme ended with "Little Boy Blue,” sung by Mrs. Zelda Seguin Wallace, who was generously applauded. As an encore Mrs. Wallace sang the "Star-spangled Banner” with fine effect. Both she and Miss Jacobs were presented with tine bouquets of red roses. The senior class roll of the Law School for 1898 is as follows: Duncan Leroy Beckes, Burton B. Berry, Elmer D. Brandenburg, Daniel L. Brown, Jr., Arthur Brubaker. J. S. Butler. John C. Cheney, jr., Salem D. Clark, Lewis Austin Coleman. Albert E. Cottey, Thomas B. Coulter, C. Ahvin Craft. J. B.

Albert Baker, of the finance committee of the School Board, said yesterday that the board is now verifying the school enumeration. "The decrease in the enumeration of last month,” said Mr. Baker, “lost to the board all of the natural increase, which is estimated at 1,200 children of school age, between six and twenty-one years, and 893 Resides, in all over two thousand. This apparent error is now to be corrected. It Is believed that parents failed to give In a full enumeration, thinking they will be enabled to keep their children out of school as not covered by the corporation law. This is a mistake. Nor are the parents’ taxes affected, for the School Board loses between two and three dollars, payable out of the state treasury, for every child not enumerated.” Damaged by Fire.
