AMUSEMENTS - Frederick De Belleville, who last appeared In this city as Alec D’Uberville In Mrs. Fisk's production of "Tess,” has, according to reports from New York, appeared in a star role in a romance In real life. He has secretly married Miss Dorothy Chester, of the same company, and until recently no one was the wiser. The two met when Miss Chester became a member of Mrs. Fiske’s company last season. During the season Mr. De Belleville was attentive to her in a courtly way, but none of the members of the company expected such a -.thing as a marriage to follow. Miss Chester owns Colorado Springs as her home and entered the profession two years ago in New York. Her first appearance was In Catherine Lewis's “Mrs. Smith’s Husbands" at a trial matinee at the Herald-square Theater, in which she scored a success in a small part. She afterward appeared In Gunter’s ridiculous failure, “A Florida ISnchantment,” and “The Nancy Hanks.” In “Tess” she played one of the dairy maids~the part next in Importance to that taken by Bijou Fernandez. Mr. De Belleville Is making his second matrimonial venture. In 1883, when starring In “The Corsican Brothers." he met and married a German singer, who afterward was known on both sides of the w’ater as Elie De Belleville. Jealousy drove them apart and when singing in Berlin some years ago she conducted h rself in such a manner with Prince William that she was ordered from Berlin by the municipal authorities. When she returned to America and appeared at Koster & Bial's Mr. De Belleville secured a divorce from her. Before leaving for Europe a short time afterward the former Mrs. De Belleville made a public statement, dwelling on De Belleville's manliness and chivalry in his relation with her. The present Mr. and Mrs. De Belleville are at their new home in New York. Edward J. Ratcliffe, the English actor and former matinee idol with Charles Erohman's forces, who was some time ago convicted of wife beating and bigamy, finished his prison sentence and was released at New York yesterday. The question of whether or not he will be able tq secure an engagement with any of the prominent managers is being discussed at length In New York, the scene of his former triumphs. His former manager, Fro liman comes out openly and says l will have no vacancies for Mr. Ratcliffe." Augustin Daly, through his manager, says: “1 most assuredly would not employ Ratcliffe." S K. Hodgson, who manages the Keith circuit of vaudeville houses, affirms that “Ratcliffe will not be permitted to appear on the stage of any of Mr. Keith’s theaters." while Koster & Blal say “We don’t think we could ever use Mr. Ratcliffe" Charles H. Hoyt and Lederer & McLellan however, take a more charitable view of the case and think Ratcliffe has expiated his crime, and that he should be given a chance to reform. Tho dramatic agencies think Ratcliffe will be able to secure an engagement at larger figures than before his trouble, and *ay they will engage him “in • minute ” “Too Much Johnson" returned to Frohman’s Empire Theater Monday night, with

William Gillette in the leading role, after a run cf one hundred nights at the Garrick Theater, in London. While the play did not strongly interest the audience, the acting made up for the stale qualities of the piece. At the end of the week the play will be taken off to be succeeded by Gillette's "Secret Service." Mr. Joseph O. Zitfle. manager of the “Gay Morning Glories," that appear at the Empire next week, is here ahead of his company. Considerable talent is claimed for the aggregation. Harry Semon’s company is having a successful week at the Empire.— “For Liberty and Love” is the title of the new military drama, which will have its first production at the Park Theater the first half of next week. The piay is in four acts, and it is from the pen of Lawrence Marston. There is a young woman in the company by the name of Lorese Weyman, who, if is said, has the brightest kind of a future. The cake walk in "Uncle Tom's Cabin” is among the catchiest features of the performance. Half a dozen couples take part and they can all “walk." The Park is filled with children every afternoon. In addition to the performance at English’s Monday night A1 G Field’s minstrels will give a parade on a somewhat different order from the usual minstrel turn outs. Field carries two bands, and his minstrels will be mounted on prancing steeds. Seats will go on sale at English's to-morrow. “The Maine Avenged,” anew war melc drama, was presented Monday night at the Star Theater, New York. It deals w’ith familiar incidents of the war and has the author in the leading role. It was well received. The opening performance of Sothern’s “The Adventure of Lady Ursula," which was billed for the New York Lyceum Theater Monday night, was postponed until tonight because of the indisposition of Miss Virginia Harned.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1898.

OLD-TIME ACTRESS DEAD MRS. SARAH MOORE. MHO ONCE PLAYED WITH J. WILKES BOOTH. ♦ She Was a Prime Favorite in Metropolitan Stock Company During: the Mar, Mrs. Sarah Moore, who was weli-know’n many years ago as an actress of ability and who was once a popular favorite at the old Metropolitan Theater, died at 9 o'clock last night at her home, No. 319 Elsworth street. Mrs. Moore was eighty-three years of age. Many Indianapolis citizens who recall t'ne days of the Metropolitan stock companies, will remember Mrs. Moore and her happy portrayal of “old-woman’’ characters. More than twenty years ago she retired from the stage and has since lived quietly at her home on Elsworth street. Mrs. Moore was born in England in 1815 and in 1836 was married in Birmingham to Henry Moore, who also took up the theatrical profession after they came to America. Mrs. Moore’s maiden name was Brooks. As a girl she was clever in a dramatic way, and after her marriage went on the stage as a means of aiding her husband, who was for many years in delicate health. They came to New York in 1849 and in that city Mrs. Moore began her theatrical career. For several years she did juvenile parts and during her residence in New York played at the old Bowery Theater, at Wallieks's and at Niblo’s Garden. She was then about twen-ty-two years of age. Mrs. Moore came to Indianapolis with her husband in 1864. She came here to fill an engagement at the Metropolitan Theater, under the management of W. H. Riley, and remained as a member of the stock company for several years. Emma Cushman was the leading lady of the company and Mrs. Moore appeared chiefly in “old woman” parts. In her younger days she was a handsome woman of the brunette type, and was very popular with the Metropolitan audiences. She took part in many Shakspearean plays, and in light comedy she was much of a success. When she and the late F. G. White were on the bill the play was sure to be a success, so it is said. It is said that Mrs. Moore’s strong character as an actress was that of Ophelia, the prim spinster in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” After leaving the Metropolitan Stock Company Mrs. Moore made a number of tours with theatrical companies, but always made this city her home. She played with Edwin Forrest and Lawrence Barrett in Indianapolis in the days w'hen the “star” traveled alone and the management of the theater had to furnish the company. She also played Lady Franklin in Bulwer’s comedy, "Money,” with J. Wilkes Booth. In the early eighties Mrs. Moore retired from the stage. On Aug. 13, 1880, she was given a benefit performance at the Park Theater by Indianapolis citizens. On this occasion “A Scrap of Paper” was produced, Mis. Moore taking the part of Madame Dupont. Among her other roles was Fadet in “Fanehon, the Cricket,” and Amelia in the drama, “Othello.” Her husband died in 1878. Mrs. Moore was always very modest about her stage career and disliked anything in the way of newspaper notoriety. A few w’eeks ago a reporter for an Indianapolis paper called on her and asked to be allowed to write something of her theatrical history. Sin declined to talk much of herself, telling the reporter that “she was dead to the world" and did not care to be brought before the public again. For the last three years Mrs. Moore has been in failing health and w-as confined to the house most of the time. She leaves one son. Philip Henry Moore, who resides on North West street. The funeral will be held to-morrow afternoon at 2 o’clock. Burial will take place at Crown Hill.

“JIMMY” JAY ON TRIAL Fop Selling: Llijnor on Sunday Three learn Ago. “Jimmy” Jay, a well-known saloon keeper, was tried in the Criminal Court yesterday on the charge of selling liquor on Sunday. The alleged offense took place in October, 1895, while Jay was engaged in the saloon business on Northwestern avenue. The prosecuting witnesses were John Copeland and Omer Lewis, who testified that they purchased liquor at Jay's place on the date named in the indictment. Copeland said he was able to fix the date accurately because of the fact that he and his friends were out celebrating the arrival of a newbaby at hig home. Jay told the court that he had no recollection of the occasion testified to by the witnesses, but he did remember that he had once befriended one of the man who testified against him. Divorce Complaint. In the Superior Court yesterday Rachel Bottoms began an action for divorce from Henry Bottoms on the ground of cruel treatment. The plaintiff says she keeps a lodging house at 310 West North street. Her husband, she avers, has deserted her, and while they lived together he did not provide for her support. She says he would swear at her and often assumed a threatening manner toward her. She also charges that the plaintiff maintained improner relations with other women. Once, she says, she saw him kissing and embracing a strange woman near their home. When she reproached him for this he refused to make any explanation to her. Ip the Superior Court Nellie M. Gray is the defendant in a suit for divorce brought by Louis M. Gray. He alleges incompatibility of temper. Livery Firm Falls Out. The members of the livery firm of Newman, Green & Cos..

August Stossmeister has reached this city from Copper river, Alaska, where he went prospecting for the Indiana Mining Company. He gives discouraging reports of conditions in that country, insisting that Seattle newspapers, to boom their city, have published unfounded stories of great finds in the Northwest. Mr. Stossmeister found no gold. Slept Beside the Truck. James Elkins, aged nineteen years, a foot tourist from Eastbank, W. Va., went to

sleep beside the Big Four tracks at North Indianapolis last night and left his heels on the rail. A night train crushed his right heel and left ankle, and Elkins was taken to the City Hospital. He will recover. IN A NEW LIGHT. (Concluded from First Paged of the State of New York, In reference to the condition of the camp of the Eighth New York. General Terry is reported in the New York Herald to have said, as he was leaving Camp Thomas: “ ‘General Terry found the camp In a bad sanitary condition. It is situated in an open field in the hot sun, with no water to be found five miles. The water the men drink is hauled in barrels and is of a kind that in New York would be refused as bathing water. This stuff is what the men drink daily and is declared to be the chief cause of the sickness. General Terry told me that it w-as the most terrible sight he had ever witnessed. and that not in the slums of New York city could he found a-place so filthy and dirty. He said he would insist on the Eighth Regiment being returned to NewYork, and had wired Governor Black and the secretary of war of the situation. If the soldiers are not soon taken from Chickamauga Park they will soon follow the twen-ty-four who died yesterday and nearly as many to-day. “ ‘Camp Thomas hospitals are unclean and badly located. The food is regular afmy rations. badly cooked. More than two hundred patients have often been made to get along with 150 narrow cots. They are simply laid on litters not six inches from the ground. Few-, if any. of the hospital tents have plank floors.’ “This camp was removed to the open field at the special request of the officers concerned, as they were inclined to think that their camp in the open w-oods had something to do with the increasing sickness of their men. Here it may he pertinent to remark in passing that this regiment had at the time of its moving, and had maintained, one of the filthiest and most disgusting canteens to he found in the entire army. From personal observation of this canteen, some two weeks since, I am prepared to assert that it was little better than serving beer to the soldiers of the iaighth New Y'ork in a hog pen. It is also true that the reports show that since this regiment moved its health conditions have improved. ONLY TWO MILES TO WATER. “Instead of there being no water within five miles of this regiment, tw'o of the largest and finest springs of clear water in this entire country, pronounced by competent medical and chemical authority to he pure water, are less than two miles from their camp. “The Eighth New York has been camped upon the ground w-here General Terry observed it less than ten days. It was perfectly clean ground w-hen they occupied it and had not been previously occupied* by any troops. If it had been transformed within this brief period by the troops of the Eighth New Y’ork into a place filthier and dirtier than can be found in the slums of New Y'ork It will become the officers of that regiment and the men to explain how such a transformation could have been made by them in this brief space of time. “Whether General Terry means that twenty-four died in the camp of the Eighth New York or twenty-four in the entire camp in one day, and that nearly as many would die the day of his departure, cannot he exactly determined by his form of speech, but on the day that he is quoted as making this remark the deaths In the entire army encamped her . were seven, and the deaths in the Eighth New York, two days before his visit (being the last report) numbered only one, which had been the rate for several days. “As to the hospitals being unclean, and there being a lack of food, and the only food being regular army rations, cooked, and other similar condition, a sufficient answer is found in the critical examination of the hospital of the First Division of the Third Army Corps, General Frank commanding, set forth above. This hospital, in charge of Maj. C. M. Drake, is one of the cleanest and most complete which any veteran of the civil war would expect to see, and this is the division to which the Eighth New Y’ork is attached. "In closing I beg leave to express my opinion that most of the interviews with chaplains, regimental surgeons and others, both officers and men, now' appearing at the North in many of the newspapers in regard to this camp are reckless and false, except as to the filthy conditions which their own criminal neglect has caused. In my judgment the recent increase in the outcries against water and the persistent assertion that the park is unhealthy have been largely and deliberately used to stir up sentiment and influence w hich would be exerted to insure their relief from service. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, “H. V. BOYNTON, “Brigadier General U. S. Volunteers."

THOSE STARVATION COMPLAINTS. ilfjpr Finds They Come from Typhoid Patients Wlio Must lie Dieted. WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—Secretary Alger, with Mrs. Alger, paid a visit to the hospital of Fort Myer last evening and inspected the arrangement there for the treatment of the cases of fever coming from Camp Alger. These were found to be of the first order. The surgeons in charge are supplied with everything conducive to the comfort of the patients that money can buy. It was a noticeable fact that many of the sick soldiers complained of hunger, and this in spite of the fact that they are given all the food that the nature of their ailment will admit of. Few of the visitors to the army hospitals who see the typhoid patients, emaciated in appearance, calling for food, realize that to grant their desire for solid food would be to condemn the patients to death; that the immediate result of the administration of any more than limited quantities of liquid food would cause perforation of the inflamed intestines, hemorrhage and death. Secretary Alger's attention has been strongly directed towards this fact by the reports that come to him from the medical officers of the field and garrison hospital. Major Taylor, the surgeon in charge at Fort McPherson, Ga., hospital, has suffered from adverse criticism based on the observation of inexperienced visitors. His statements exactly bear out the observation of Secretary Alger as to, the mistakes made in assuming that the patients were underfed. Moreover, Major Taylor takes occasion to show by figures just what he has done for the patients in the way of food and attention. His bill for milk alone is SBOO per month. He has more ice than can be used either for drinking purposes or for ice bags and caps for the patients. He provides a special diet in especially arranged kitchens, he has seventy-one trained nurses, over one hundred hospital attendants, and employs numerous laborers to clean the mess hall and tents. The female nurses are indignant at the criticisms that have been passed on the hospital, and Major Taylor pays a high tribute to the untiring devotion shown by these nurses to their charges. Secretary Alger says these statements are but samples of those that come from all of the hospitals and from unprejudiced observers whose experience enables them to give a fair opinion. Confederate Jackie* Invited. PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 31.—The executive council of the National Association of Naval Veterans of the Fnited States, through the commander of the association. Daniel F. Kelley, has issued an Invitation to the survivors of the Confederate army and navy to fraternize and parade with the National Association of Navy Veterans in Cincinnati on Sept. ti. It is the purpose of the national association to make the reunion in the nature of a peace jubiiee. Invitations have also been extended to the officers and men of the navy of to-day.

WILL STIR UP CONGRESS ♦ NO ()>B PLSE CAN PROPERLY ••INVESTIGATE" GEN. MILES. ■ ♦ Secretary Alger Is Not Indifferent to Criticism. In*t Believes It is liad to Talk Too Much. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—General Miles not having yet turned up to father tho>.‘ offensive newspaper interviews, there are 1 o really substantial new developments to-day in the controversy between toe commanding general of the army and Secretary Alger. There is no question but these published statements will constitute the foundation of court-martial proceedings if they are avowed and responsibility for them accepted by Miles. Secretary Alger and Adjutant General Corbin are both included in the alleged statements of Miles. This makes an investigation by army officials, whether it take the form of a court of inquiry or a court-martial, unsatisfactory. Indeed it is recognized on all hands that if an investigation into army affairs is to be had that will be satisfactory to the people it must be by a congressional committee. No other body would have the necessary power to summon witnesses, put them under oath and compel them to testify and to send for persons and papers. This congressional investigation will be had, of that there is no doubt, but it will probably show that whatever suffering there has bebn is really due first to the fact that there was war, and, secondly, to the difficulty of elaborating a system of administration devised for fo.CvJ men into a working system for ten times that number without mistakes, failures and blunders and consequent suffering. One thing }s noteworthy and that is that it has not been charged in any quarter that dishonesty or any action of a criminal character can be laid at the door of any official. Meantime Miles's arrival in Washington is awaited with absorbing interest. Alger Frown* hmui Criticism. WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—it cannot be said that Secretary Alger is indifferent to the many sensational stories that are printed as to the conditions that prevail in the great military camps, for his first interest lies in the welfare of the individual troops. But he said to-day that with a full knowledge of the lack of foundation for most of these, he deprecated such publications, not because of fear that the American people would be mistaken in their understanding of the actual facts, but rather from an apprehension of the evil effect such publications would produce abroad. There the people who, with their full military training, knew just what hardships must be encountered by troops in a campaign, and especially in military camps and maneuvers, would regard with amused surprise the innumerable complaints that are pouring forth upon the government here on the pietexts that would be disregarded entirely in Europe, and they could scarcely fail to gain the impression that the American people are lacking in soldierly qualities. Prof. Woodward Appointed. CLEVELAND, 0., Aug. 31.—President McKinley this afternoon appointed C. D. Woodward as one of the commissioners to represent this government at the Paris exposition. The title is that of assistant commissioner general, and the position is one of trust and requiring great executive ability. Mr. Woodward is a professor at Columbia University, and is well known in art and literature.

A WIFE-NURSE. (Concl tided from First fuse.) be attended by the best surgeons at the division hospital. The order further provides that all retuso from tne camp kitchens must be burned, buried or carted away, thereby preventing fever and other disease germs entering into the camps. The local camp is healthful, and General McKee is taking every possible step to keep it in excellent condition. No sickness has developed since the division came here, save tijat which was contracted at Chickamauga. Twelve of the fever patients who were brought from Chickamauga were liberated from the hospital to-day. The surgeons in charge state that within six weeks every sick man brought here will have been released from the hospital. The improvement of the sick is marvelous, and still more remarkable to the soldiers is the fact that no sick rolls are being made out daily, as was the. case at Chickamauga. IJIiSKKTIONS AT CA>IP MEADE. Two RegimentN Just Arriving: Have Twenty-Eight Men Missing. CAMP MEADE. Middletown, Pa., Aug. 31. —Orders were issued to-day granting a thir-ty-day furlough to the Sixth Pennsylvania Regiment. At the expiration of the furlough the regiment will report at Mount Gretna to be mustered out. General Graham issued an order to-day assigning the Eighteenth Pennsylvania, Tenth Ohio and Second West Virginia to the h irst Brigade of the Second Division, the First Delaware to the Third Brigade of the Second Division and the second battalion of the Sixteenth Pennsylvania to the Second Brigade of the Second Division. He also directed that regimental and other commanders who have the power to appoint summary courts for the trial of charges preferred by the provost marshal against enlisted men shall hereafter file written reports of the results of such trials to corps headquarters within twenty-four hours after they take place. The hist battalion of the Seventh Ohio arrived in camp to-night from Camp Alger. The Thirteenth Pennsylvania will also be on hand to-night and the second and third battalions of the Seventh Ohio in the morning. Colonel Roberts has been relieved from duty as adjutant general of the Second Corps and ordered to join his regiment at Montauk Point. Fourteen men in the Eighteenth Pennsylvania and ten in the Second West Virginia were to-day reported absent and unaccounted for. Charges of desertion have been preferred against Private Cahoon, Eighteenth Pennsylvania, and Private McNamara, Tenth Ohio. Colonel Girard, chief medical officer, has called General Graham’s attention to the careless manner in which the bread is handled from the commissary department to the regimental camps. He has also recommended that the Ninth Ohio battalion's camp be moved to a more healthful location. MAGAZINE I N I>ER A FIRE ( ause* an Explosion at ChlekamauKa —Gen. Frank Succeeds Gen. Wade. CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ga., Aug. 31About seventy-live pounds of dynamite stored in an underground magazine at Camp Thomas exploded last night. No one was injured and no property was destroyed.

Both the men and the woman are colored. Though the duel was not held, Russell won the dusky bride. Last night he and his wife were in Vaughn's saloon on Indiana avenue. Just above the Yellow bridge. Strange and a friend, Albert Green, entered the place, and Strange's old passion, which once had urged him to risk his life in a duel, was aroused by the sight of Mrs. Russell, nee Essie Taylor. He suoke to her softly, saying, "You're just as sweet as ever.” Russell’s ire was aroused, and soon he and Strange were engaged in a real fight. Green attempted to play the peacemaker and Rusk* 11 struck him on the head with a beer bottle, cutting a deep gash. The fight continued out into the alley by the canal side. At this juncture Russell struck Strange on the forehead with a stone, laying the flesh open. Both Strange and Green had enough and they started for the City Hospital. Their wounds were dressed, and they w'ere afterward taken to the police st.ition. Russell escaped the police. Bicycle Patrolmen Holtz and Wallace had been in the Yellow bridge district earlier in the evening to arrest a colored woman named Gertie Grant, who had become exhilarated by liquor and had broken a window in Bud Richardson’s saloon. The patrolmen met Green and Strange and told them not to get into trouble. The negt call they hart was to the hospital, where Green and Strange were being repaired. The “I nredeemed Pledge*" Gnine.
