Kabo Corsets Are deservedly among the most popular Corsets made. They are strong, properly shaped, handsomely finished and not expensive—$1 and s ljso paying for any regular style. Probably the most distinctive feature of the Kabo is its LOOP LACER, which is exclusively used on this brand of Corsets. It is soft, so lacing cannot show through. It is not metallic, so cannot corrode or rust— It prevents the lacing from slipping— It will not cut nor wear out the lacer. It does not pull out—it outwears the Corset. A Special Display of Kabo Corsets May now be seen in onr west window. We believe it will interest you. L. S. Ayres & Cos. SOLE AGENTS FOR Improved Standard Patterns. ART EMPORIUM. Telephone 500.

N. Brown First Robbed by Two Negroes. Mrs. E. M. Brown, the wife of a dairyman at the corner of Thirtieth street and Baltimore avenue, while driving to this city in one of the dairy wagons yesterday morning about 3 o’clock was stopped by two negroes, who robbed her of her pocketbook and attempted to outrage her. It has been her custom to take a* little boy with her as protection, but yesterday morning he was unable to go. She started alone and had not proceeded far when she noticed that the back doors of the wagon. Which she had carefully fastened, were ■winging open. Without hesitation she •tepped from the wagon and went to the rear to fasten the doors. She had hardly reached the end of the wagon when two men, colored, stepped out and seized her. Thinking that robbery was their motive, she produced her pocketbook, which contained but little* over a dollar, and one of them grabbed it. Still they struggled and attempted to carry her to the side of the road, but she screamed and fought and finally succeeded in frightening them away. They escaped through a cornfield and have not been located as yet by the police. After this ordeal she returned at once to her home and reported to her husband what had taken place. He at once notified the police, and Detective* Weible and Thornton were put to work upon the case. Airs. Brown thinks that she knows one of her assailants. They were evidently people acquainted with the details of the morning trip. Mrs. Brown carries a revolver beside her on the seat.

DEFIED THE TRAINMEN THE 14TH MINNESOTA REGIMENT REBELLED OVER A SLEEPING CAR. Exciting: Scene In Union Station Last Night—Volunteers Finally Give In. For two hours and a half last night the Union Railway Station was a very busy place. The first section of the Fourteenth Regiment of Minnesota Volunteers en route home from Knoxville arrived about 10 o’clock and two other sections came in within half an hour. The men had their coffee at the station and the first two sections pulled out about 11 o’clock. The third section had r.ot left the city at 12:30 o’clock and the train was run down to the yards. Later in the night it was sent on its way. The officers in charge of the section first declared it would remain there until the railroad company saw fit to keep its contract with the government. The regiment came to the city over the Big Four from Louisville, being received at that point from the Cincinnati Southern road. When the first section reached the city last night the men were fretting considerably over what they termed the unfair conduct of the Big Four people. They had already had an encounter with the railway officials at Greensburg and were in no fine mood. The two first sections were running close together when Greensburg was reached. The officers in command of the trains were informed at that point that the order from “headquarters” was to crowd all the men into two trains and send the regiment into Chicago in this condition. An indignant protest went up at once and a heavy guard was placed at each end of the trains. The agent at Greensburg was informed that if any attempt was made to tamper with the trains trouble would surely follow'. On this account the track at Greensburg was blockaded for nearly an hour. The soldiers won their point, however, and came into the Union. Station here with their two trains. W'hen the third section arrived a short time later it brought along cause for fresh grievance on the part of the entire regiment. W’hen the regiment left camp the three trains were made up of Pullman sleepers according to the contract with the railroad companies. Just before the third section reached Louisville one of the Pullmans was damaged In an accident and was In no condition for further use. At Louisville It was detached from the train and its passengers were crowded into the other cars. The Cincinnati Southern people at Louisville promised the officers of the third section that at Greensburg another first-class Pullman car would be attached to the train. The promise was not kept, it is claimed. Instead of a modern sleeping car being put on an old-fashioned Pullman was attached which would not accommodate half the men that had been transferred at Louisville. Forty-three men—several of them half sick with malaria—were crowded into the car that was intended to carry but twenty-five people. Some of the men w r ere compelled to stand. At Greensburg, it is claimed, another promise was made that a larger Pullman would be added to the train at Indianapolis. W'hen the three sections had reached the Union Station, Captain Resche, in charge of the third, made a demand of the railroad company that the small car be exchanged for a more modern one, and declared his intention of remaining here with his battalion until this was done. Guards were placed about the front end of the train to prevent the engine from moving. Guards were also stationed the entire length of the train, and few people were allowed to cross over the platforms. The guards refused to allow the train “cut,” and many people had to walk the entire length of the thirteen cars to get from one side of the depot to the other. A car inspector who attempted to “cut” the train was vigorously prodded with a bayonet. A depot postofflee employe had an altercation with a guard as to whether he should cross over with the United States mail. At first the guard was obdurate and refused to let the man pass, but finally consented to allow him to cross. Dr. Dorsey, one of the regimental surgeons, backed up Captain Resche in his contention for a better car. The physician said that on account of the limited accommodations of the car that had been taken on at Greensburg many of the soldiers had to ride in the hospital car,which was a great inconvenience to them and the sick men. The physician asserted that unless the men could start out from here properly, he would leave the more serious cases on the train in the hospitals of the city. Captain Resche at length Informed Train Master Beckwith that he would either have anew Pullman sleeper or the train would stay in Indianapolis. The trainmaster offered to put on two additional ordinary coaches, but the captain refused to accept these. He said he knew there were plenty of sleepers in the yard which the railroad company could utilize if it cared to. This the trainmaster denied. He said the only chance to get a sleeper would be from Chicago, and the Pullman offices ‘in that city were closed for the night and could not be reached. Captain Resche then declared the train would stay here until the proper arrangements could be made. About 12:30 o’clock the train was run to the yards, but late* the officers concluded to go on with the crowded sleeper. The Fourteenth Minnesota home in charge of Lieutenant Colonel Johnson. Col. Van Duzee, w'ho went out with the regiment. is ill at his home in St. Paul, having returned home on a furlough. There are 1,178 men in the regiment and nearly all of them are in excellent health. They are a fine-looking set of men and appear to have enjoyed camp life. The regiment is taking twenty-four sick men home. There have been four deaths in all in the regiment since it was mustered into the service. One of these was Private Peterson, of Company F. who, it is said, practically committed suicide. They say that in order to convince his comrades that he could stand almost any sort of a diet, he ate a great quantity of green peaches while the regiment was in camp. Ho w r as sent to the hospital and died there.

H£ IS NO CANDIDATE. Capt. AV. E. English and the Gubernatorial Bee. Since Capt. William E. English positively declined to be a candidate for Congress a number of his friends have spoken of him as a candidate for Governor. At the time the captain announced in this paper that he would not accept the congressional nomination under any circumstances, he said that he was not a candidate for any office. He reaffirmed this statement last night. While recognizing the honor his friends did him in using his name in that connection, the captain said that he was not a candidate for that or any other office. At the same time he has not assured others who are aspirants for the gubernatorial nomination that he is not in the field. When asked lointedly whether conditions might arise which would induce him to change his attitude on the question, the captain replied that it was too far ahead to answer that question. "It was once my ambition,” said he, “to serve in the legislative body of the State and the higher legislative body of our country. AVhen I left Congress, I did so intending/ to never seek office again, and I have not. While always having an active interest in politics, I never have been and am not now a candidate for any office. Many of my friends have spoken to me about being a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination. I appreciate the high honor of such mention, but 1 am not a candidate for the place.” The Rescue Home for Men. A man who is interested in the Gospel Mission for Homeless Men, conducted by F. J. Reed and his wife, at Nos. 323 and 325 West Maryland street, has written a letter to the Journal in which he says that Mr. and Mrs. Reed are in need of funds to continue their work. The writer says that during the last ten months 12,200 men have been fed and lodged at the mission. Those who have the money are charged 10 cents for lodging and breakfast. This income, the writer says, has not been sufficient to keep up the mission, and Mr. and Mrs. Reed are in debt because of their having engaged in the work. Religious meetings are held in connection with the charitable establishment, and, it is said, much good has been

done there. It. Is pointed out that this mission is the only rescue home for men in the city, though there are several for women. The writer urges that the people inquire into the work of the mission and help it along. HOT COFFEE CAUSES DEATH. Fonr-Yenr-Old Son of Carl R. Day Fatally Scalded. Lawrence, the four-year-old son of Carl R. Day, 818 Buchanan street, was scalded by a pot of hot coffee last Thursday morning, receiving injuries that resulted fatally yesterday morning at 5 o'clock. The child had got up with the rest of the family, but was allowed to be about in its night clothing while the mother prepared breakfast. By some means, as Mrs. Day passed the child on her way from the kitchen to the dining room, a boiling pot of coffee which she was carrying on a tray accidentally overturned, saturating the clothing of the child and burning one side until the flesh almost dropped away. The grandfather is a well-known physician of Lebanon, Ind., and w'hen he learned of the accident came at once to this city, taking the suffering child back with him, where he might give it his personal attention. All efforts were unavailing, however, and the little boy died yesterday morning at the home of his grandfather in Lebanon. THE VICTORY FOR PERU *. JUDGE BAKER HOLDS IT CAN REDUCE NATURAL-GAS RATES. ■ ♦ 4 Accepting: an Ordinance Made a, Con-tract-Great Profits of the Business Originally. ♦ An important opinion was handed down by Judge Baker in the Peru gas case in the Federal Court yesterday at noon. This was a suit by the gas company of that city.denying the right of the Council to regulate the prices it should charge for natural gas. Judge Baker decided in favor of the city, holding that the Council of Peru had the right, under the contract with the gas company, to regulate the prices that might be charged for natural gas. What bearing, if any, the opinion rendered yesterday may have upon the 75-cent gas case against the Indianapolis Gas Company is not plain. It would appear, however, that the decision has not much bearing on the local case. There is said to be a wide difference between the two. In the Peru case the Council undertook to reduce the rates by virtue of a contract between the city and the company. In the Indianapolis case, the efforts of the Council to reduce the rates were based upon the statutory provision of the city charter, not upon a contract between the parties. In 1887 the Council of Peru authorized by ordinance any company that might so wish to do to lay natural gas mains in that city. One section of the ordinance fixed a schedule of rates that might be charged. This ordinance was passed in June of that year. No company offered to accept the provisions of the ordinance. It was claimed that the schedule of prices was so low no company could exist under them. In November of the same year the ordinance was modified. The rates were increased, but the Council reserved the right to revise the schedule of prices at the end of ten years, and every five years thereafter. A company was organized and put in a plant, and began operations under this ordinance. It was contended, and the court Sustains the contention, that when the company began operations under this ordinance a contract between it and the city was established. After operating for some time, the original company sold out to a company that was a party in the case decided yesterday. BUSINESS IMMENSELY PROFITABLE. In 1897 the Council of Peru passed an ordinance reducing the gas rates some 25 per cent. The gas company undertook to have the ordinance declared invalid, contending that the rates proposed were not sufficient to afford the company a fair return on the money invested. The contention of the city of Peru was that in fixing rates the Council had the right to inquire into the business of the company. The company contended that the Council ought to fix rates that would not only produce a fair return on the investment, but also pay taxes, maintenance expenses and, in addition, create a sinking fund sufficient to cover the cost of the original investment within ten years. Evidence was adduced showing that the earnings of the company in five years had not only reimbursed the investors for all the money put into the plant, paid taxes, insurance and current expenses, but had also paid net dividends of 10 per cent, a year on the money invested. The court held that the Council had the right to take these facts into consideration in determining what would be a just and reasonable schedule of rates to allow the company to charge. The main point upon w'hich the court ruled that the Peru Council had a right to fix rates, was that one section of the ordinance of 1887 specifically provided that at the end of ten years the rates might be revised by the Council. He held that when a company went into the gas business under the specific provision of that ordinance, a contract w r as created which was binding upon the company and its successors. In his decision Judge Baker relied upon a case in the United States Supreme Court. A contract was made by the fe leral government with a contractor, who undertook to deliver army supplies in the West. It was stipulated that the contractor should be paid according to the mileage usually taken to reach designated points, to be fixed and determined by the quartermaster. A controversy arose. The contractor held that the quartermaster had made the mileage less than it would have been by ordinary travel, as the contract provided, as well as less than by air-line. In the absence of fraud, the Supreme Court held, the contractor would have to abide by the decision of the quartermaster, under the terms of the contract.

JOHN W. RAY’S ILLNESS. He Was Taken to His Home in an Ambulunce. John W. Ray was stricken ill while in the Union Trust building yesterday, and for a time it was thought he was in a serious condition. Dr. Paul Martin, with the Dispensary ambulance, removed him to his home at Woodruff Place, where he was taken in charge by his family physician. He was soon relieved. Man Who Passed “Stage” Money. Stephen Jones, who was arrested Saturday night by Detectives Asche and Dugan on the charge of passing counters eit money at a resort in this city, was given a hearing yesterday before Commissioner Moores, who bound him over to the federal grand jury in the sum of $350. The man passed a bill on which was the advertisement of a local merchant and it is thought that on this account the charge of counterfeiting will not stand, but that he will be convicted oi obtaining money under false pretenses, inasmuch as he received change from the victim of his trick in exchange for the “stage money” he offered. George McGee was arrested yesterday by Detectives Asch and Dugan and charged with passing counterfeit money. Stephen Jones Implicated another whose name he would not give. The detectives believe McGee to be the man. Eight “Corner Cotters” Arrested. According to the instructions given by Superintendent Quigley on the “keep-to-the-right” ordnance, eight violators were arrested yesterday. Patrolmen have been stationed at several of the busiest corners in the city and are keeping close watch on those who are inclined to make short cuts. Because of luck of numbers it is not possible to have as many of these corners guarded as might be wished. It is not designed to take men from their regular districts and put them on tnis special detan, but strenuous efforts are being made to enforce this provision of the vehicle ordinance.

SHE WRECKED HIS LIFE BRAKEMAN BLUME MURDERS A WOMAN OF LOW CHARACTER. Then Turned Revolver on Hlmaelf— Grade Harvey, of Greenslmra:, Wan His Victim. Grace Harvey, better known in this city as Grace Holmes, was shot and killed last night by William A. Blume, of 1422 East Washington street, a brakeman, who then turned the weapon upon himself, boring two holes In his breast, the w’ounds being regarded as necessarily fatal. The man was a physical wreck, with practically no hopes cf permanent recovery and blamed the girl for his condition, shooting her purely as a matter of revenge for the injury she had done him. The girl, who Is about twenty years old, has been employed at 325 West Washington street, by Christy Wardrope, as a piano player. She has lived at this place at several different times in her career, coming up from her home. In Greensburg, about one week ago to stay during fait week. She had also been here during tha K. of P. encampment. During this time she met Blume, who became infatuated and posed as her lover. He called at the house yesterday afternoon about 5 o’clock, and remained until the time of the shooting—about 7:30. He hobbled to the place on crutches and with difficulty made his way upstairs to the rooms where the girl lived. He asked for her and did not seem w’ild ur excited. They went into a parlor and w r ere left to themselves. At one time some of the other inmates say they heard loud and angry words, but the Wardrope woman, who was near by during the interview, though not in sight, denies this. The man was in a very complaining mood, but made no threats that were heard. After a visit of about two hours, during which time they drank a pitcher of beer, he decided to go, and asked the Harvey girl to help him to the foot of the stairs. There are two sets of steps leading to this suite of rooms and those in the rear, which lead to a small court, were chosen by Blume. The woman's help was necessary in going down, and apprehension was expressed by the landlady as they started, for fear he would fall and carry the girl with him. They arrived at the foot of the stairs safely, aid it seems then began their talk anew'. There were loud words and the Wardrope woman called down for the girl to come upstairs, but she did not heed. The conversation quited for a few minutes, and it is thought they sat down on the steps at the foot of the stairs. They were forgotten, until a scream from the woman was heard, and then a shot. There was another scream and another shot, a short interval and two more shots in quick succession. CURSED HER AS SHE DIED. Merchant Policeman Foltzenlogel was the first to arrive after the tragedy. He was on Pearl street, directly In the rear of the court, w'hen he heard the woman scream and the two shots which followed. He rushed to the place, but a large fence and a locked gate stood In the way. The gate was torn open, but before he could enter the third and fourth shots were heard and Blume dropped. At first Foltzenlogel failed to see the woman, who was lying in the stairway in the death agony. He rushed to the man, who was also struggling and moaning, but apparently conscious. He raised himself on his elbow and in his last conscious breath muttered a curse upon the woman who lay dying only a few feet from him. Informed that she was dead, he sank back into apparent unconsciousness, but in great pain. He was shot twice through the breast and was vomiting blood. He evidently Intended to shoot himself through the heart, but failed. The two bullet holes were less than an Inch apart, and were a little above the heart and to the left. A thirty-two-caliber bull dog revolver, which had done the work, was lying by his side within arm’s length. Though the yard was dark, a slight glimmer came from the stairway, and in the faint light the ghastly face of the woman, covered with blood, could be seen, her eyes half open. Only one shot had taken effect, and this in the left bres st, touching the heart and penetrating the lung. Blood was flowing from her mouth and nose, and clutched convulsively in her hand was a box of cigarettes. Blume had missed in his second shot at the woman, but one did for her what tv/o may not do for him. If he recovers he will find the charge of murder awaiting him with the remainder of his troubles. It is supposed that he went to the house with the purpose of killing the woman, yet faltered for a time after seeing her. But at the foot of the stairs his determination returned and he shot her while she was still by his side, and then rising, fired again, but missed. His crutches w'ere found between her body and the place where he was lying. On each side of him was a saloon, to the north Zimmerman’s Atlantic Garden, a disreputable dive, where music and fancy dancing was forming a greater part of the programme. All festivities stopped for an hour after the fatal shots were fired, and excitement was great in that vicinity. Hundreds of people gathered in front of the Washlngton-street door and were kept from pressing in by the police. Others crowded about the windows in the two adjoining buildings, which looked into this court. HAD SWORN VENGEANCE. Superintendent Quigley and Captain Dawson, with several sergeants and officers, were soon at the place, but over half an hour passed before a physician for the suffering man could be found. The Dispensary doctors arrived, after efforts to get other doctors had failed, and ordered the man to be removed at once to the City Hospital where proper treatment might be administered. There investigation proved that both lungs had been punctured. But slight hope for his recovery was expressed. He has only been out of that institution a few weeks, and had apparently become worse since then, as he was not compelled to use crutches at that time. He is only twenty-two years old, though he look's forty. His hair is slightly sprinkled with gray and his face is worn. He declared at the hospital when he w’as there during the week of Aug. 7 to 12. that he w'ould kill the woman who was responsible for his condition before he would be satisfied. Grace Harvey’s home is in Greensburg, where she has lived with her mother, with the exception of the short periods she has spent in this city with the Wardrope woman. This woman says that the girl’s mother gave consent to the last visit here, when she was to act as musician. She was only twenty years old and not of striking appearance. The Dispensary physicians say the Wardrope place, where she lived, is so vile that the police should quarantine it and the inmates as a sanitary precaution.

DEATH OF MISS FOSTER. Result of an Unfortunate Accident— Her Beautiful Character. Miss Rose Foster, only daughter of Gen. R. S. Foster, died yesterday morning at the Deaconess Hospital. Two weeks ago last Monday Miss Foster, while riding her wheel, attempted to pass in front of one of Frank Bird’s transfer wagons, the wheel slipped on the pavement and s\ie was thrown off in front of the horse, which stepped on her head. She was removed to the hospital and did not regain consciousness for several days. She began to grow worse Sunday, though the physicians, Drs. Hodges and Morgan, had hopes for her recovery until yesterday, when the end came. She was taken to her father’s home on North New Jersey street, where the funeral will be held. Miss Foster was well known in the community and had a circle of intimate friends, members of a readmg club. Though a grad-

uate of Vasear College and possessing cultivated literary tastes, she was more disposed to conceal her attainments than to display them, A feature of her life was her selfsacrificing devotion to her father since the death of ner mother several years ago. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and worked for the Flower Mission, Eleanor Hospital and the Fresh Air Mission. She was on her way to Flower Mission cases when the accident occurred. One of the officers of the latter society in speaking of her death last night said: “The unselfish spirit which shows Itself in a genuine love for others at a sacrifice of one’s own time and strength made Miss Foster one of the most beloved workers in the Flower Mission and the Eleanor Hospital. Through cold or heat, rain or sunshine she went to see her sick eases, currying with her the cheerful sympathy which made her such a welcome visitor. Her work did not end with the sick member, but extended to the whole family, and many a day has been spent in going from place to place in search of work for the idle one or in hunting more comfortable quarters or in ministering to some want which her keen judgment and quick intuition perceived to be necessary. In the Eleanor Hospital the board and the children alike sustain an irreparable loss. Her name has become a household w'ord with the little ones and her presence was always joyfully welcome. She spent many afternoons at the hospital playing with the children. At Christmas and Easter she was foremost in planning a treat to gladden the lives of those who so early had suffered so much. In everything she did she came among her associates like a ‘smile of God.’ ” BUNGLING CHECK FORGERIES. John Hughes and Fred Shutts Arrested for Uttering Them. John Hughes, 1008 Ellen street, and Fred Shutts, 805 Hosbrook street, were arrested yesterday by Detectives Kinney and Stout and charged with forgery and obtaining money under false pretenses. Since last Monday reports have been coming to the police department of bad checks, and investigation disclosed a very bungling piece of forgery. Four checks with the name of A. A. Zion signed to them were discovered, and another with P. J. Gorman at the bottom was found. In every instance these signatures were little better than scrawls, but they seemed to pass. They were payable to Fred Shutts, who passed them, though it is claimed that Hughes did the forging and planned the scheme. The largest of the checks was for sl4 and P. J. Gorman’s name was signed to it. This was accepted by a man named Matthews, who has a store at 848 Virginia avenue. Two of the remaining were for $lO and were passed at Fred Metzhelzer’s, 802 Virginia avenue. H. J. Heitcom, 636 Virginia avenue, honored another, though for only $7.

A TALBOTT-AVENUE MAN. John E. Brown Arrested a* “Ivid’ ! UVhilney’s Pal. John E.

The detectives are confident that he is the man who aided “Kid” Whitney in the robbery in Shelby county several nights ago. He will be sent to Shelby county to await trial and be identified.
