White, 319 Massachusetts avenue; Charles W. Wilson; marketer, Wayne town ship; Robert E. Beard, 1041 East Vermont street; Louia Thieme, contractor, 2223 East Washington street; Ed Walker, cook, 415 Indiana avenue; ti. A. Hoover, druggist, 223 North Alabama street; J. M. Williamson, bartender,2C22 Dewey avenue; Richard Voorfhies, 2050 Yandes street; TV. P. Campbell, confectioner, 341 Massachusetts avenue; El G. Prall. dentist, 149 North Delaware etreet, and Frederick Dammeyer, marketer, 514 East Ohio street, yesterday decided that the members of the Indianapolis and Minneapolis baseball teams were not guilty of "en gaging in a game of baseball on Sunday." While one of the. Jurymen admitted that he had voted in favor of acquittal because ho thought people should have an opportunity or seeing DaseDaii on unoay ir iney cnose, the arguments of Attorneys Frank Burke and Henry Warrum did much to bring about the acquittal. There contention was that the ball players had not played a game of Dasenau and they succeeded in ma King about all of the witnesses testify that "a game of baseball had not been played. Attorney Burke claimed that as only a part or one inning had been played the statute grohlbltlng the playing of Sunday baseball ad not been violated. He further said that had tha Legislature meant that a man should be guilty for attempting to play a game of baseball it would have said, so in the law. Judge Cox took a different view of the case, however, and instructed the Jury that when the first ball was thrown across the plate a violation of the law had taken place. It only took the Jury fifteen minutes to acquit the ball players, however, and it is understood that next Sunday the Indianapo lis ana urana napias teams win play a lull game without Interference from the police ana mat at tne end or the game they will be arrested and fined. The club will be willing to pay the fines for the privilege of piaying Sunday bail. BOY WITH STAMPS A SIxtetn-Year-Old Found In the Vandalia Yards Last Mffht.

PLEfl FOR HIS DAUGHTER

AN l.DIAXAFOLIS BUSINESS MAS .RECEIVES A PITIFUL LETTER, Which Is Pronoancfd a Ilack Srrlndle Purports to Come from a Prisoner In Spain. A new form of swindle Is now being worked through the malls and yesterday one of the prominent business men of the city received probably the first letter in this scheme that has been received here. It is of comparatively recent origin, although the po3tofflce officials have heard of it for the past month or two. The letter Is mailed in Madrid, Spain, and wherever an "I" should be used, the letter "Y" is used. The letter is written with pen and is as follows: "My Dear Sir Being placed Into a very hard trouble without being able by myself to come out of it by the great confiict made by my situation and knowing your generosity and noble feelings, Y write to you hoping that you will accept the proposals Y am going to make to you, although foreigners to each other, only by telling you that my mother was a near relative to your fam ily and that by her name you snail understand our blood reiationsnip. ine prin cipal reason for my addressing to you. even having never entertained any relations with you, is that my dear and deceased mother in spite of the differences that compelled her to entertain not anyones with her pa ternal relatives only spoke me very highly of your great talents, probity and honesty, and consequently wholly sure that you shall keep a great discretion about the con tents or this letter, x write to you may you accept or not what Y am going to tell you. Y also write to you because as you are in a free country in which Y shall be able to succeed to the plans Y have thought it Is easier for me that my young daughter, only fourteen years old, may find at your side and under your protection the ruture that Y have assured for her out of the troubles that she would find here. Y fear even that this letter may not reach you, but lu me circumstances in which Y am. Y cannot await, any more. As my father was a great engineer, who worKea many years under the direction of Mr. Ferdinand Lesseps, and he succeeded to take a part In the studying of the great works for the opening of the interoceanic canal of Pana ma, it was also very easy for me to obtain a good employ under Mr. Lcsseps protection in the counting house of that company, see ing every day in raise in favor toward me. when Y had the misfortune of losing my father, whose loss was followed a year after by the decease of my mother and wife, who left me as my only comfort, my beautiful daughter. This little piece of my heart gave me all the necessary strength to accomplish my duty to tne best Y was able to and by that means Y was soon a necessary man in all tha company's business, succeeding at last to obtain also the protection of a great banker, who was the soul of It, if It can so be said, of all the association. It was when Y was beginning to have a good shot that the political rlvalltles of French brought tne great tumults of the House of Commons on France and made that French fress was converted in a disordered libeling n which was left the honour of the highest personalities of France, whose events are perfectly known by all and consequently useless ror me to ten them. As a consequence of all what happened you can suppose that Y acted under a great prudence, placing all my property In surety and out of France. As soon as Y saw that the first accusations were produced Y traveled un der all precautions and went to London where, in a sure bank.Y placed my stock in a manner that it could be returned when and by whom Y would wish. After my short and secret remaining In London, Y turned oacK to my employ in Paris awaiting impassible the comine hour, never thlnklnsr. however, that they should come to so fatal an end. In that Y could not await instruc tions from anybody and acting myself and under my only responsibility Y carried out a perilous act In a great critical moments and Y saved values of the greatest consid eration and very important documents, but my acting left me in very great danger and consequently cleverly disguised Y new ly left France and went to England." In this style the letter continues the story. The writer was In such danger of arrest that he put these notes and papers, to the value of 96.600, or $493,000, In a secret drawer in his baggage. He lived In a small town In England and then went to Gibraltar where his daughter was brought to meet him. From Gibraltar they went to Spain, and in Madrid he was arrested but made such resistance that he was shot and was Unconscious for a month. He was taken to France. Then he was returned to Spain to bo tried for killing the officer sent to arrest him. The chaplain of the prison has great sympathy for him and his proposition is that the man to whom the letter was sent shall get his papers and bring his daughter to this country. No instructions are given, but the letter states that If he will do so full In structions will be cent him at once. The reply is to be sent in care of the priest who will carry it to the prisoner. Postmaster Hess yesterday received from one of the prominent business men of this city some green-goods circulars that had been sent to him. Accompanying the circu lars was the following, letter to Mr. Hess: 'We inclose herewith a proposition from ona of the philanthropists with which the East abounds but which, unfortunately, owing to a press of other business, we are unable to avail ourselves of. Perhaps some of the young men in your department, to whom tha civil service offers a toilsome and weary roaa io ioriune. may oe eiad to emhracA the opportunity of gaining an affluence at a single bound. Or perhapa you may be in a poaiuon io ao sometning witn it. ' Mr. Hess replied that he had submitted the proposition to several of his young men, but in their blind stupidity they refused to take advantage of it. MRS. C0RDES SUES AGAIN.

J. H. B. N0WLAND IS DEAD

PASSED AWAY EARLY TniS MQRMXG AT HIS DEARBORX-STREET HOME. lie Was One of the Pioneers of Marion County Sketch of Ills Career. John II. B. Rowland, last of the first of the settlers of Marlon county, died this morning at 12:55 o'clock at his home, 1110 North Dearborn street. He was eighty-six years old and the cause of his death was exhaustion. One day in the latter part of May he was attacked by a vicious dog in the neighborhood. He was not hurt, but the excitement was too much for him, and he could hardly stand when he reached his home. His decline began then, and he was out of bed but a few days after that time. T can last only a few days longer," he said, but he underrated even the little vitality that was in him. He refused to let a doctor attend him. "He would doctor me to death," he said. Later, however, his wife and daughter insisted that he allow the family physician. Dr. Stevenson, to minister to him. Many times It was reported that Mr. Nowland could not live through the night, but until yesterday the reports proved untrue. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon he sank Into unconsciousness and never revived. He had eaten no solid food for many weeks and his wife and daughter fed him malted milk. His friends called in large numbers every day and he was always glad to see them, though their conversation had to be shouted in his ears. He liked to talk of the early days in Marion county, and it seemed that his mind clung fast to the memories of his youth, even though he was near death. He would break out with such remarks as "I came here in 1S20 with our family and our hired hands. There were twelve of us and I am the last one. I have lived longer than the alotted time," and "My brother Mathias was one of the founders of the Journal." Mr. Nowland leaves, besides his widow and daughter, a son. Six other children are dead. The arrangements for the funeral will be made to-day. Mr. Nowland was engaged In several kinds of business in his younger days, but in his latter years he devoted most of his time to writing. In 1870 he published a book entitled "Early Reminiscences of Indian apolis." He was an. authority on the history of Marion county and the incidents in the lives of men who helped to build the foundation of Indianapolis. The newspapers of this city frequently published articles by Mr. Nowland, and he delighted in this sort of work. Mr. Nowland was born at Frankfort. Ky. His father visited this locality when the commissioners appointed by the Legislature were determining on tne site lor tne capital of the State, and seeing the possibilities of the newly-opened country he decided to move his family to the new settlement tnat was to become the center of Indiana. When he reached home and made this announcement his friends tried to dissuade him, say ing the Indians would kill him and his wife and children before they reached w hite river. But he was firm and sold his farm and made preparations to start on the mo mentous journey. His son. who died this morning, says in his book: "He disposed of every article of wood or iron furniture that was not Indispensable, and he loaded a large six-horse wagon with heavy necessary furniture and nrovlslons sufficient for winter use. The beds and bedding and most of the clothing were so arranged and packed as to be carried on the backs of horses. Feather beds were rolled up and tied together in such a way that one would res.t on each side of the horse, forming a plat form on the back of the animal on which two children could ride. My mother and grandmother were provided with single horses and side saddles, and when the whole caravan was in motion It would remind one of a cavalcade of Bedouins. In this way we left our home, about the middle of October, 1S20, to seek our fortune among strangers in a wilderness whose population was almost entirely savaeeV- - The travelers ferried across the Ohio river at the mouth of the Kentucky river. About nine miles north of where Columbus was built later the party was Joined by Henry and William Bradley and Bob Sacre. This meant the acquisition of three more rules. The destination was reached Nov. 4, and the Nowland family stepped at the house of Isaac Wilson, which was on the northwest corner or the statehouse square in this city. It was necessary that they should make a home for themselves and they concluded to occupy a cabin located In the middle of Kentucky avenue, between Illinois street and Capitol avenue, until they could build a house or their own. This was the only cabin in what now constitutes the city proper. It was owned by a Quaker named Townsend. but he was away on a trip. He had neither cut places for doors, windows nor a chimney. A PIONEER HOME. The following description of the Nowlands' homemaklng is found in Mr. Now land's book: "My father did not take the liberty of cuttlnc out the doors and the chimney lest ne wouid not set tnem in tne places the owner wished, so he pried ud two corners or tne house and took oitf the third log from the bottom, which would, by climbing, be sufficient for ingress and egress. A rew beards were taken out of the middle of the roof for the escape 6f smoke, the nre being bunt in the middle of the room on the ground, there being no floor. My mother lined the inside walls by hanging up rag carpet, which rendered it quite comrortaoie ror the short time we occupied it. The entire male population was prompt to tender its services to assist In building a caoin or our own and this, with seven men already at my father's command, enabled him in a few days to have a comfortable cabin, which he built on the west bank of the ravine, where the canal now runs, about midway oetween w asmngton ana Maryland streets. "Our new cabin was elehteen by twenty zeet square. The chimney, which was In the cast side, would take in a back log' eight feet in length and a 'fore stick ten feet. There were two doors, one on the north and one on the south side, opposite. These doors were made in this way to facilitate the making of fires. The back sticks were about eighteen Inches In diam eter. One end was placed on a sled, called a 'lizard.' to which a horse was hitched and driven through the house until the log was opposite the fireplace and then rolled to its place in the tire: and so with the fore stick: and the smaller fuel carried in and placed on top. The two large sticks would last about twenty-four hours. Al though this was one of the coldest winters ever experienced In this country, and the ground was covered with snow from the time we arrived until March l, we lived as comfortably and contented as Friday and Robinson Crusoe. There was 'none to hin der or make us afraid,' with the exception of our dusky neighbors, and they were pretty quiet during the winter." Indianapolis was a wonderful place at that time, from a modern point of view, for deer and wild turkeys were shot in its streets. A graphic description of those days is found in the following paragraph from the dead historian s volume: "The day before unnstmas or tnat year or.e of our household Killed a turkey in front of our door, ana where Washington street crosses the canal, tnat weighed twentytnree pounds oerore it was dressed, it was so fat that the fall from the top of the tree burst It open. About 4 o'clock Christmas morning we were awakened by a salute from eight or ten rifles and a cry of 'Get up. Kamtuck: we want some of that old peach brandy and honey,' which my father understood very well to be some excellent peach brandy he brought from Kentucky, of which they drank freely while building our cabin. When he opened the door the entire nale portion of the Harding and McCormlck population stepped into the cabin and gave three cheers for 'Old Kalntuck. the newcomer.' After paylnsr the brandv the highest compliment in their power by drink ing rreciy oi it, tney went to and saluted the inmates of the different cabins In the same way. There was no petty jealousy in the people at that day. All seemed on an equality; indeed, they seemed to think their only safety from their dusky neighbors was in unity and harmony all seemed as mem bers of one common family."
