MIIS. TIXCJI.EV AMI FOLLOWERS EXrOf.ND TIlElIl DUCTULES. I nl verbal Brotherhood Jleftlng nt Plymouth Church Lout MEhMomc i ngner Interspersed. Plymouth Church was comfortably filled last nisht by those who attended the reception Riven for Mrs. Katherine A. Tinslev, lendpr nri nftfrfa 1 Vioii nf tVin T.-i I sal Brotherhood organization throughout tno wcrld. Tlie reception was under, the au?pices of the local lodge, and Mrs. Tlngley was accompanied by the members of her cabinet. Interspersed v.ith the ad'dreses selections from Wagner's dramas were given on the piano and organ and a. unique and striking effect was produced by the combination. Mrs. Tlngley spoke on "Theosophy, and hartlly sketched the principles of the school and tho work. She said the doctrine of the school Is that man Is eternal and that the soul Is but a part of the great higher soul or God. The society tries to touch the youlHfe In each person, and she cited the case or a prisoner In the Folsom Pri?on, California, who vas deformed from Injuries received, was one-eyed and as repulsive as a man could be. He prided himself on the number of men he had killed. He was not trusted by his keepers but was regarded as a man wholly lost. She said the workers of the brotherhood touched him and now ho Is the model prisoner of the institution. She spoke of men diverging and of the Intolerance which exists in. the world to-day, though It Is the proud boast that this Is an enlightened age. She said she knew from personal experience that a person who goes into Austria or Italy and talks of the soul or spirit is placed under arrest, fcne oM tVi'if Vt ! ci cntno a r. ! r I f -z frn'. ing in this country and has already laid its nana on tne government. She urged that the people awake and adopt the plan of universal brotherhood at once. "Urotherhood" was the subject ot the address by F. M. Pierce, secretary general of the Universal Brotherhood. He said tnat brotherhood is really unselfishness, that helping a fellow-man in an unselfish spirit reacts to the benefit and advantage of the one helping. He did not favor this drawing together of men in a brotherhood and under the higher laws and then helping one an other from any feeling of sentimentality. for that feeling is weakening to both, but that the pure t-plrit of unselfishness should prevail. The physical action of helping a m&n out of a hole In the street, said Mr. Pierce, is to the benefit of the helper from a physical standpoint, and the same law prevails as to the mind, the soul and the brain. He said men are too much asking others to think for them and to do those things for them which they should do themselves. Mrs. Alice Li. Cleather, member of the Wagner Society, of London. England, a woman of striklne nersonality and ex traordinary ability as a speaker, was on the programme for an address on "Art," but instead she confined her address to the three leaders of the movement and the work accomplished. She said the society was founded In 1875 by Madom Blavatsky. a Russian, who had come to New York, and In a year or two gave to the world the truths on which the society is founded. Mrs. Cleather knew her personally, as she has the other leaders, r.r.d said that Madame Blavatsky was persecuted and almost crucified. She was really persecuted to death, but her mission of promulgating the truths had been fulfilled. The work was then taken up by W. Q. Judge, and he was the one who -preserved the writings and teaching of Madame Blavatsky. He, too, said Mrs. Cleather,. was hounded to death. She did not hold it against those guilty, for she relieved the action and not the person should be judged. The next leader was Mrs. Tlngley. and she has made practical application of iho principles aa taught and preserved by the other leaders. Mrs. Cleather referred briefly to the work of the society in maintaining a luispltal at Montauk Point and in relieving the distress in Cuba, both of which were personally supervised by Mrs. Tingley.. She spoke of the work in the slums, in the prisons and In all lines in which work of humanity can be done.. The armed nations, ready to lly at each other's throats, did they dare do so, are examples of the necessity of the calling into activity the higher feelings and impulses necessary to form a universal brotherhood. The last address of the evening was by Mr. Basil Crump, a member of the Wagner Society, of London, who was on the pror gramme to speak on "Music," but who took up both Art" and "Music." He said that the society aims to instill Into the drama the realization of the Inner feelings and the higher motives of the drama and play. He teferred to the production of some of the Greek plays as given by students of th society in California and said that the so ciety desires to put the drama on this higher ba?is and have the plays given by students who enter into the production as student. At the close of the exercises some of the truths of the society were chanted. A brief reception followed. HOME BREWERY OPTION. Expired Yesterday and Purchasers Failed to Appear. A report was current yesterday that several. If not all, of the Indianapolis breweries were to be absorbed into a brewery trust, which was agitated several months ago, and that the transfer would be made to-day, with the payment of the first installment of the purchase money. Inquiry showed, however, that no such movement was on foot, but, Instead, the trust project has fallen through so far as. the Indianapolis breweries were concerned. Andrew Hagen, secretary of the Home Brewing Company, said that it was true that his company, several months ago, had given an option on the plant, and that the report probably started from remarks dropped to the effect that yesterday was the last day of the option, and that the sale was expected to be made at 'that time, if at all .Continuing, he said no message had been received from the prospective purchasers and that as the option expired yesterday. It could be safely said that no transfer would be made. THE ROCKPORT EPIDEMIC. Seven New Smallpox Cases Reported There. The State Board of Health yesterday received notice of seven new cases of smallpox at Rockport. A number of towns in the north part of the State and particularly Chesterton, are clamoring for the State Board to order a quarantine against Valparaiso. The reason they assign is that the Valparaiso newspapers "are silent" about the smallpox, and so they fear the outbreak Is worfe than they know of. Secretary Hurty has sent a strong letter to every town which desires to Quarantine and opposes any such action. He says the cases are mild and well in hand, and to quarantine against Valparaiso in the present stage of the disease there would be sheer folly. 1'here Is no danger whatever he states. Fort Wayne Is becoming exercised over the milk served in that city and has sent down analyses of samples from which they declare the milk is "embalmed." CREAMERY MEN FINED. Sold Adulterated 3111k Farther rests 3Iade. ArW. A. Painter, who has a creamery at 1102 Fletcher avenue, and John C. Brill, a dairyman, pleaded guilty in Police Court yesterday to having and selling adulterated mlik. and were each fined 1 and costs. A preservative, formaldehyde, was found in the milk. It Is said that milk so adulterated may be set in the sun and allowed to remain there for several days without becoming sour. Charles F., Theodore and Henry Dammeyer, of the Aim of Demmeyer Bros., 4.0 East Washington street, were arrested yesterday on affidavits by the Health Board charging violation of the pure-food law. These are the first prosecutions under the new law. but others will be made as fast as the samples taken from the stocks of various merchants can be analyzed should adulterants be found therein. Delay in Fire Escapes. There will probably be a delay In the erection of fire escapes, as the particular size

of Iron prescribed by the department of Inspection has been exhausted. Mr. McAbee was Informed by many of the Iron foundries that the size presc oetl was a standard slz

and always in sti-ck, but this proves to have been a mistake, as it Is a special size. The specification.? may be slightly changed, but a delay in the work will follow. " COUNCIL ON BRIDGES. Appropriation Ordinance Will Have Practically JVo Opposition. A canvass of the members of the Council, with the exception of two. Bowser and Crall, who were out of the city, indicates t!iat the ordinance providing for the issue of $1:0,000 In bonda to build new bridges ever rail creek and White river will pass, probably without a dissenting vote. Not ono of the members who were interviewed last night would say that they would not support the ordinance, while all, except Councilman Allen, said they were In favor of the general proposition. It is expected, however, that there will bo some amend ments suggested, but not a councilman was. found last night who would say that he Intended to vote against the ordinance, even as it stands. Councilman Allen's objections to the ordinance are based on a feeling that the bonds should be for thirty years, instead of shorter terms wi provided for in the ordinance. He thinks that thirty-year bonds would be negotiated easier and would guarantee the present generation that it would not have to bear all the expense for improvements from which coming generations win reap the largest share of the benefits. He argues that within fifteen years nearly all of the present new asphalt pavements will have to be relald at great expense, and this will come at a time when the people will have hardly finished paying for the bridge bonds. If given thirty years in which to redeem these bonds the burden will be better distributed and give the people a breathing interval. Controller Johnson says that, as soon aa the ordinance is passed, the city will begin work on the bridges with the expectation of completing them this year. City Engineer Jeup's plans for the bridges over Meridian street and Capitol avenue contemElate the type known as the Melan arch rldce. constructed of steel and concrete. with stone facings. The finance committee of the Council discussed the bridge ordinance after the session last night, and egreed to report it favorably to the Council next Monday night. "CYCLONE" BEFORE A JURY. The Obstreperous Street Talker Fined Alter n Trial. Thomas J. Johnson, familiarly known as "Cyclone" Johnson, arrested Sunday night for obstructing the streets, was on trial yesterday. He called for a jury and the twelve passed by the counsel found him guilty and fined him $5 and costs, and an appeal to the Circuit Court was taken. The courtroom was filled with witnesses and curious people. The anticipations of the curious were Inot realized, except In a small degree. They expected a scene. The only thin? of the kind was when the "Cyclone", refused to look at the circular to which his name was signed, attacking the newspapers, police, city officials and ministers of the city, when an attempt was made by Prosecutor Rradwell to introduce it In evidence, and when Johnson, alter the argument made by his attorney, arose and made a great tirade about "American citizenship." In his talk Johnson said he was the only man In the city who could cause so large a crowd to be gathered around him as to obstruct the streets and sidewalks. Perhaps Johnson did not know of the narrow escape he had from being confined in the station or being sent to the worKhouse last night. Some of his apostles got hold of Charles Williams, 147 Bright street, and Induced him to become surety on the appeal bond. After the bond had been read to Williams some one In the crowd, waiting to see whether or not ball would be secured, remarked so that Williams could hear It: "By the way, where was it that Cyclone jumped his bond about a year ago?" A bystander. In a jocular way, said, "St. Louis, wasn't It." Williams, who was about to put his signature on the bond, hesitated, and it was some minutes before he concluded that Johnson "wiil not die before court time." A MYSTERIOUS ALARM. Some One Sent It In from tlie Den ison Hotel. The origin of a fire alarm turned in from the Denison last night is a matter of mystery. It had the effect of causing the guests of the hotel to turn out in a variety of Impromptu costumes. The alarm was received by the fire department as a "still," and the first intimation the hotel people had of the alarm was when the fire department drew up In front of the hotel and the firemen entered the house to hunt for the blaze. It was 9:23 o'clock when the alarm was received, and the guests on the upper floors hurried down stairs when they heard the clatter of the horses cease in front of the hotel. There was no fire In the hotel or In the neighborhood, and no alarm had been sent In over the telephone. There Is a messenger box near the cigar stand, but the American District people say It has no fire alarm connection and that the box Is solely a messenger call. It was the theory of the hotel people that this was a fire-alarm box and that the alarm was turned In over it. It is possible that It was done by some one who had his own peculiar Ideas of what constitutes a Joke, or by one who desired to injure the houl. However it was done and by whom, the alarm was received and answered. It Is possible there was a crossing of wires by which a messenger call was transferred to the fire-alarm wire. The mystery was referred to the police department. Two of the detectives promptly commenced an investigation, but did not succeed in finding out the method followed or who did it. L1Q1J0R IN A CAVE. Colored Won. an Arrested for Having Mo City License. Eliza Klmbrow, colored, living north of Brlghtwood on Oxford street, was arrested yesterday by Detectives Gerber and Morgan and charged with selling liquor without a license. On her premises was found a cave in which several kegs of beer were on tap. In the house was found a large quantity of whisky. Two colored men who were seen coming away from the place were stopped by the detectives and searched. On them they found two flasks containing whisky, which the men said they had purchased of Mrs. Klmbrow. The woman has a government license and said she did not need any other permit to sell liquor. She was taken to the police station and in a small hand bag were found several small bottles and a large number of tobaoco sacks containing coins of small denominations. In all she had about $35. It is said she has conducted the business for a long time and when cus tomers would come she would take them Into the cave and lock the door until they had satisfied their thirst, when otherr vould be admitted. NO MORE MEETINGS THERE State Capitol Will Be Restored to Its Legitimate Uses. It has-been decided by Custodian Vest, of the Statehouse, that no more meetings will be permitted in the building unless the organization deslrins the use of the building is closely allied with the state government. Since the recent tent controversy applications by the score have been made for the use of the rooms. The rooms are large, cool and free, and for that reason have been desired by every kind of an organization. The trend of feeling is against the use of the building for purposes other than governmental and, so as not to be charged with favoritism, the custodian has decided to refuse all requests. All the meetings that have been held there and which arc yet to be held have been authorized by legislative action. For Stealing a Horse. John Wilson, SO Melkel street, was arrested and charged jtvlth grand larceny. Several months ago ?a 'horse was stolen from Leonard & Sloan. '913 Virginia avenue. The animal was found ' in the possession of Charles Davis, SV2 West Merrill street. lit said he had purchased It from a man. and Wilson is said t; be the one who sold It to him. f ' .' .

STATION TRANSFER- BUSINESS

Connell Spends an Eveninff vrith a 'Hack" Ordinance. The question of the exclusive right of the Frank Bird Transfer Company to solicit and transact business in the Union station was the only subject of much Importance before the Council last night. Ovr two months ego a "hack ordinance" was Introduced and referred to the committee on streets and alleys which has made no report on it. The ordinance made -it a misdemeanor for any hackman or drayman to solicit business anywhere except within a radius cf ten feet from his vehicle or fifteen feet from any portion of the Union station or its train sheds. The second section cf the ordinance contained a saving clause for the Frank Bird Company, however, in that it rpeclfled that where any person or company had an established office in the Union station it was excepted. This clause was thought to be class legislation and the committee consulted City Attorney Kern, who gave the same opinion. Recently the Indianapolis Transfer Company made extensive preparations for competing with the Bird company for the Union station business, ' but no one who knew of this has been able to understand how it would be possible for the new company to do business In the Union station where the Bird company has an exclusive contract. An insight was given into the situation last night when Councilman Hlgglns, chairman of the streets and alleys committee, announced that his committee had been informed that the pending ordinance was illegal, and moved that it be stricken from the files. He said it was plain that the Bird company had a monopoly on the railroad business, while many other transfer men were entitled to some of it, and that nothing but a new ordinance would make It possible for them to secure it. At this Juncture Shaffer offered objection, claiming that Assistant City Attorney Bell had prepared an amendment to the old ordinance by which the trouble could be obviated, and he moved that It be read and substituted for Higglns's motion to strike the old ordinance from the files. President Mahoney ruled, however, that the motion was not In order and ordered a vote taken. It resulted in a tie and the motion was lost 'and the amendment to the ordinance was then ordered read. The amendment provides that in that portion of the ordinance which reads "except where such person or company has an established office in any public building they may be allowed to solicit business within such building in which the office is located, except in the Union station and train sheds connected therewith" shall be changed so as to read "except in any union station." The amendment carried and the ordinance was sent, back to the committee on streets and alleys for further action. It was suggested by friends of the Bird company that the new Indianapolis Transfer Companv intended to take advantage oT the coming Epwcrth Eeague convention and establish offices in the Massachusetts-avenue and South-street stations and thus secure a share of the business coming Into the city. ' . . 4. The gas ordinance was referred to the committee on contracts and franchises. An ordinance to allow Henry Spiegel to construct a switch and sidetrack across Oriental street was referred to the railroad committee. An ordinance requiring the Big Four railroad to maintain a flagman at tlie Hillside-avenue crossing was referred to the railroad committee. THE TRACK ORDINANCES. They Will Be Introdnced In Connell Monday Meat. The new .track-elevation ordinances prepared by city Attorney Kern wilt be introduced at the meeting of the Council next Monday night. After considering all sides of the subject, the city officials have decided to make a start toward track elevation without regard to the position the railroads may take, either in co-operation with, or opposition to. the movement. It is felt that, no matter what is done by the city to secure the good will and co-operation of the railroads, delav will be Inevitable, and. In the end. the city will be compelled to take the initiative. r ... The subject will be covered by two ordinances. The first will declare all railroad tracks at street grades to be a nuisance and will order their removal. The fecond will provide for the elevatjen of tracks at all nrnsslrca 4n nrrortlanrp with nlanS fUTnlshed by the city engineer and approved by the Council. Tne oistrict compnueu in me elevation plan is all that portion of the city between Seventeenth street on the north, Nebraska street on the south. State street on the east and West street on the west. The plan, as It stands now, provides that work shall begin within six months and the work be completed within two years. The Situation In Other Cities To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The subject of elevated railroad tracks has led to investigations in various directions and has brought-to light many facts connected with It. Inquiries have been made of the mayors of cltlea of populations ranging from 100,000 to 500,000, such as Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Louisville. Milwaukee, Nashville, New Orleans, Omaha, Pittsburg, Providence, St. Paul and Washington. The substance of the answers is given blow: Albany, N. Y.: There is no system of track elevation. Buffalo, N. Y.: There are no elevated tracks, except that at street crossings the tracks are in some instances elevated' over the streets, and in other cases depressed under the streets, depending upon the grade. Cincinnati: No system of elevation. Cleveland: No elevated roads. The subject has been agitated from time to time, and there is now talk of an elevated road, but nothing definite has yet been done. Detroit: The only elevated road is a viaduct for the terminal roads entering the city by the Third-street union depot. For several years there has been some agitation for the separation of grades of all railroads about the city, but it has not been carried into effect. Louisville: The only elevated track extends from First to Seventh street along the river front, and this is used by two railroads and a bridge company for electric service. Milwaukee: No eystem of elevation and no ordinance in respect thereto.. Nashville: No law requiring elevation. On account of topogrphy many streets are crossed at grade and about as many on overhead bridges. The Terminal Company, assisted by the city. 13 constructing a bridge over and along a street that is one of the chief thoroughfares and heretofore a grade crossing. The tendency, where the topography will admit, I to elevate tracks. New Orleans: No elevated roads. Omaha: One railroad comes Into the city over elevated tracks as a matter of preference. There is no law cn the subject. The other roads have grade crossings, hut their right of way is alocig a ravine which Is spanned by viaducts. Pittsburg: No elevated tracks. Providence: The gubjoct of elevation is being agitated, and it is proposed by some to compel the companies to elevate their St. Paul: No system of elevation. Washington, D. C: No elevation of railways. The steam roads are maturing plans for the elevation of their tracks within the city, and it is expected the work will be commenced within a year or so. These letters from the mayors show that these great railroad centers have not adopted such a system. The question arises: why shall we adopt it? Why go to an expenso for that which the far-seeing and enterprising men of business in these great and progressive cities have not deemed advantageous At best an elevated railroad system is an experiment and may prove disastrous to our city. . Business on the ground floor, like business on a water front, U without doubt done more cheaply than in the second story. Only three or four of the greatest cities need elevated tracks. What we do need is a rigid and unflinching exaction of moderate speed onrdl railroads traversing this city, and the condign punishment of all violations of such regulations: and in addition, a- few viaducts at much frequented crossings: Theaughty insolence of railroad ma'nagement should be moderated and these corporations be taught to obey the laws as carefully and exactly as the humblest citizen. Indianapolis exists as a grand center of business only upon th basis of railroad traffic and travel. And it is to be hoped that an era of good feeling and material accommodation will yet grow out of a sensible settlement of this important subject. CITIZEN. Indianapolis, June 29. Ladles of the Maccabees. The Ladies of the Maccabees of the State held a convention at Masonic Hall yesterday afterncon. There are ninety-four lodges, or "hives," in the State, and nearly ail of them were represented. It is claimed of the order that it is the only secret, fraternal and benevolent organization in the world com

trolled exclusively by women. The order originated in Michigan, where the Supreme Hive was organized in 1S92. The society has a total membership in the United States of over 1O4.O0Q. Its main objt-ct is to unite fraternally wives, mothers, ' sisters and daughters. The organization has a fund for the relief of sick and distressed members. A Smoke Consumer Work. A smoke consumer Invented by Frank M. Reed Is now in use at the foundry of the Cleaveland Fence Company. The apparatus is said to be a, success as a fuel saver. Before putting in the smoke consumer the fenco company's furnaces burned 2.000 pounds of coal a day. It is now claimed that the consumption of coal is only about 800 pounds a day, with better results.
