A Cans Corralled on North East Street A Peculiar Watch. Captain Colbert was somewhat puzzled last night over a watch which was taken from Will Coates, who was arrested and charged with being a confidence man and with petit larceny. When the watch is wound the hands fly around like those of the cheap toy watches. He thinks the watch some sort of a gambling device, but has never before seen anything like it. Robert M. Leroy, claiming Dallas, Tex., as his home, and Frank Smiley were arrested with Coates at No. 510 North East street. Hrnest Nead, of Kelso, Dearborn county, while waiting early yesterday morning at the Union Station for a train formed an acquaintance with Coates and they walked out on the street. They met Leroy and the old-time "lock" game was brought up. Coatea had a X1C0 check, signed by "J. M. uooiey & uo.," and wanted to bet with Leroy. No cash at hand, Coates borrowed S10 from Nead. Leroy won. Coates borrowed another $10 and a second time Leroy won. The men managed to get away from Nead and he reporetd his loss to the police. His excellent description resulted in the arrest of the men by Captain Colbert. Their room at No. 510 North East street was searched and a large quantity of devices used by gamblers were found. Al Tipton and his brother, J. H., of Knightstown. were swindled out of 110 Sunday night on the "lock" game. They reported the matter to the police and the police are satisfied the men under arrest also fleeced the Tipton brothers. A description given the police by Willis Cartwrlght, of Charleston, of two men who "worked" him for 5100 about July 1 on the same kind of a game also tallies with the appearance of the men. The men admit they are fakirs and say they have been here about seven weeks. ELEPHANTS A FEATURE. The Forepaugh and Sells Bros. Shor Here To-Dny. The Forepaugh and Sell3 Bros consol idated circus Is expected to arrive in Indianapolis about 6 o'clock this morning from Greenville, O., where it showed yes terday. It requires three trains to carry the organization. There are 630 people with the show and 400 head of horses. Frank O. Miller, who came in last night In ad vance of the circus, says that one of the Interesting features connected with the menagerie Is a troupe of fourteen elephants. The largest of the troupe is Sid, who weighs about six tons. Othello, who was at one time known as the sacred white elephant from Slam, is' also a member of the troupe. Othello was formerly known as the Light of Asia, but in recent years has shed nie light color and no longer poses as a "white elphant." In the troupe are eight of the performing elephants that used to perform all sorts of brilliant tricks for young Adam Forepaugh. The latter has gone out of the show business and now lives quietly In Philadelphia. Last May, when the consolidated show gave an exhibition In Philadelphia, Mr. Forepaugh entered the tent as the elephants were about to go through their quadrille dance. The beasts had not been under Mr. Forepaugh' training for several years, but as he came In he gave a peculiar call and was instantly recognized by the eight elephants he had once owned. They acknowledged his presence by loud trumpeting. IN THE COURTS. A Complicated Trade. Justice Smock has under advisement a replevin case In which Oscar L. Nelsler brought suit against Norrls J.

The Iron Molders' Union of North America, in convention yesterday, voted against the proposed plan to establish a home for aged and infirm moldere. The convention took this action after a lengthy discussion. The delegates denounced the action of Slelcher & Son, owners of a foundry in Troy, N. Y., for procuring an Injunction to prevent union men from talking to nonunion men who had been brought there during a strike. The convention also adopted resolutions denouncing Ge'n. Merrlam, of the United States army, for his action In the Wardner, Ida., strike, and calling on President McKinley to Investigate the conduct of the army officer, and If found guilty to punish him. The convict labor problem was discussed and steps were taken toward pledging the molders organization in the different States to lend their influence and give financial assistance In procuring legislative action against this kind of labor, except where the product of the labor is used by state Institutions. A committee was appointed to confer with a committee from the Coremakers Union with a view to harmonizing the relations between the coremakers and molders. At present there Is a slight friction between the two organizations. The question of giving more attention to apprentices was also discussed. It has been proposed that an arrangement be made by which the Molders Union will pay the tuition of an apprentice while he takes a course in mechanical drawing at some good school during the last year of his apprenticeship. The matter was referred to the committee on constitution. The molders expect to adjourn on Saturday. Tomorrow the place of holding the inext convention will be selected. Sir. Shlvelr on the Molders. Hon. Charles E. Shively, of Richmond, president of the board of managers of the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonville, said yesterday, relative to the complaint of the national Iron molders against the employment of paroled prisoners In a foundry at Louisville: "I was much surprised that such a communication was presented to Governor Mount, for the reason that no strike Is on in the shops where paroled men have gone to seek employment, and for the further reason that no employment has been arranged by the board for any paroled man to take the place of any striker or where they would come In conflict with free labor. It has been the policy of the board of managers not to bring the labor of paroled convicts in conflict with free labor. If any of the paroled men have got employment on their own account in any works where a strike is on it has been wholly without the authority of the managers of the Institution." Broad Hippie Traction Company. The Broad Ripple Traction Company was yesterday Incorporated with a capital stock of $100,000. The directors are John B. Warner, John T. Burnett, E. B. Peck, Clarence Winter and John D. Thompson. The name of Randall Morgan, of Philadelphia, a stockholder of the Indianapolis Street-railway Company, is also signed to the incorporation papers. John D. Thompson and Clarence winter are In the law office of Ferdinand Winter. One of the incorporators said, yesterday, that the new organization had not yet acquired street-railroad property, but hoped to soon. He said if his company could get the Broad Ripple road, purchased last week by W. F. Brown, of Philadelphia, at a reasonable figure, the property would be bought. He was not sure but that his company might build a road of its own. John D. Thompson, of the new company, says the organization has no connection with the Indianapolis Street-railway Company. Mr. Thompson declared that W. F. Brown did not represent his company at the sale of the Broad Ripple road. Mild Smallpox on Chicago Street. Constant Burrls, a colored man, afflicted .with a mild case of smallpox, was found sitting on a front porch at No. S17 Chicago street yesterday morning. He was taken to the Isolation Hospital. As he had not been inside the Chicago-street house, the place was not closed. Dr. Clark, city sanitarian, heard that Burrls had slept at a mission house on West Maryland street and investigated the rumor. At the mission it was claimed Burrls had not been there. However, the health officers found the mission to be in an unsanitary condition, and closed It. Burrls refused to tell the physicians anything about himself. For the Social Settlement. Mr. David C. Bangs, actor and reader, gave an entertainment last evening at the German House for the benefit of the Social Settlement playgrounds. Mr. Bangs gave a programme of varied selections which Included Mark Twain's "Guessing Nationalities." Thomas Hood's "Bridge- of Sighs." Bangs' "Uncle llastus's Sermon," Thomas Moore's "Lying," and others. He was assisted musically by Miss Cecil Marlon Bell, Master Walter Peterson and Master Charles Rhodes.

Cole, general manager for the American Telegraph and Telephone Company. The C, H. & I. has 78.2 milea of main track In the State, which Is assessed at $27,000 a mile. The objection to the assessment is that it is on the basis of a trunk line, when the road Is really a branch. Senator Early's Condition. Senator Jacob D. Early, of Terre Haute, who suffered a slight stroke of paralysis at the Denison a week ago, is worse, and his relatives have been summoned to his bedside. Senator Early was taken from the hotel to the Deaconess Hospital and he appeared to bd recovering until yesterday, when he suffered a relapse. The paralysis seems to extend over his entire left side.

The river was lined all day Sunday and Monday with men and boys gathering live fish, some getting sixty and seventy pounds. The washings contain large quantities of poisonous acid. The high waters reached the acid by the creeks during the late rains and then flow down the river. The fish seem to be smothered to death. In their wild flight to get away from it fish could be seen Jumping on the banks. The smaller fish suffered the most, but many weighing three or four pounds were killed or stunned. One fisherman said to-day the sport was entirely ruined for this season. The bottom of the river is covered with the rusty-looking fluid.
