OPENING OF THE COURTS

JUDGE LEATHERS SIGNALIZES IT BY DISBARRING J. VANCE LEWIS. Dr. J. Y. Kennedy, of Acton, Given a Divorce The Fatont Conspiracy Cose. The Circuit and Superior Courts of Marion county opened yesterday morning after a two months' vacation. All of the judges were present at 0 o'clock, well tanned from their summer's outing. Judge Leathers, of Room 2, Superior Court, spent most of the summer at Superior, Wis., with his wife and daughter. "I wish I was there now," remarked the Judge, with a yawn, at the c!c?e of court in the evening. The first thing Judge Leathers did yesterday morning was to t'isbar J. Vance Lewis, a colored attorney, who refits under the charge of contempt. He has left the city, and Judge Leathers concluded it would be wise to take steps to prevent him from annoying the courts again should he return. A marriage was annulled yesterday morning in Room 2, the plaintiff being Martha Huffman. In 1S74 she was married to John H. Ward, her name then being Martha Plummer. She lived with Ward about nine months. She said she found she was not his wife, he having confecsed that he had a wife living at the time of his marriage to her. The plaintiff refused to live with Ward and they separated. She told the court that she afterward consulted an attorney and was told that it would not be necessary to bring proceedings to have her marriage annulled. In 1S76 she was married to William Huffman, who died in March, 1896. In the last year she decided that she ought to come into court and procure a decree showing the arnullmcnt of her marriage to Ward. Judge Carter, of Room 3, who spent his vacation with Judge McMastcr, fishing in the Canadian lakes, took up a divorce case which contained some Interesting features. The plaintiff was Dr. James Y. Kennedy, a physician of Acton. He was suing Nannie Kennedy on the grounds of cruel treatment. One Instance which the plaintiff related to the court, had its influence in getting him a divorce. He said that one day he walked up to his front porch, where his wife was ftanding with their cMld in her arms. The relations between husband and wife were somewhat strained at the time, and as soon as the doctor came up the woman's wrath burst forth, he said. She threw the child deliberately at him with the exclamation, "Take your d d child!" Kennedy skillfully caught the little one and saved it from Injury. Judge Carter granted" the divorce. In Room 1, Superior Court. Judge McMaster tried the c5ft of Warren Fatout asalnst his wife, Lilly Fatout. and his mother-in-law, Sarah E. Hauser. Fatout charges the women with conspiracy, and is seeking to recover property from them valued at $2,900. The story of the plaintiff was that in 1S97 he made the acquaintance of Mrs. Hauser. who introduced him to her daughter. He believed the young woman had a sincere regard for him and they were married. Soon after the marriage, he said, his wife induced him to deed certain property to her. and he did so. According to hia story, she then began to grow cold toward him. and his mother-in-law did not appear fond of him. Finally his wife deserted him, and he concluded he had been the victim of a conspiracy and brought suit to recover his property. Judge McMaster heard the evidence in the case and took it under advisement. Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, found a fine bouquet of flowers on his desk when he opened up business for the day. He allowed several claims and received the papers In a compromise made by the attorneys for Philip K. Ebaugh, who sued the Pennsylvania Railway Company for damages. On April 17. 1897, Ebaugh was awarded a Judgment for $5,000 against the railroad company. The company appealed the case to the Supreme Court, where it has been pending. The papers filed In the Circuit Court do not snow the terms of the compromtee, except that the defendant pays the costs in the Supreme Court and the plaintiff settles the ccsts in the lower court. To-morrow Judges McMaster and Carter will take up the injunction proceedings brought by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Indianapolis News against the State Board of Tax Commissioners to prevent the board from certifying to the county auditor the assessment levied on tho property of each plaintiff. A temporary restraining order was granted last week and the court will next decide as to whether a Sermanent injunction should be granted, udges McMaster and Carter will sit together. TniAL OF MURDER CASES. Doubt an to the State Convicting Mary Cole's Slayer. There is considerable doubt about the State being able to convict John O. Duncan, the slayer of Mary Cole. Duncan is in jail charged with murder. He killed Mrs. Cole several months ago by crushing her head with an ax. It is known that Duncan will enter a plea of Insanity, and it is thought the State will not be able to find physicians who will say they believe Duncan was of sound mind at the time he committed the deed. The first murder case to be tried In the Criminal Court this term will be the case against Blakey. the colored man who killed another colored man named Gordon. The Blakey case will come up the latter part of this month, as soon as the prosecutors have disposed of the work of the present grand Jury. The case against John Moore, accused of the murder of his wife, has not yet been set down for trial. The tragedy in which Mrs. Moore lost her life occurred in the spring of 1S98. Moore is under bond and the court officials say there is no particular reason why he should be tried as long as there are Jail cases to be disposed of. If three consecutive terms of court should pass without any steps being taken toward a trial in the Moore case, his attorneys may then bring proceedings to have the case dismissed. Prosecuting. Attorney Pugh says this point will be watched by the State. Attorney Henry N. Spaan has been employed to assist in prosecuting Moore. The prosecutor hopes to be able to try Mrs. Maud Goodin some time in October. This will be the third trial of her case. She Is accused of plotting with Mrs. Lulu Kline to injure Dr. Almee Haskinson by throwing vitriol on her. Divorce Complaints. In the Superior Court Frank C. Dixon is suing Nellie S. Dixon for divorce. They were married on Aug. 23, 1892, and separated in April, 1S3S. Dixon says his wife declared she thought no more of him "than a tramp In the street." He charges that she was too often seen in the company of other men to suit him. Elizabeth Blue is suing Uriah Ia Blue for divorce, on the grounds of cruel treatment. She charges that the defendant, who Is a practicing physician, deserted her in 1S96. Since then, she avers, he has threatened to throw acid in her face and has said he would shoot her. He also annoys her. she says, by sending her threatening letters. Sarah J. Teeters complains of George W. Teeters, to whom she was married in 1SS0. She charges that her husband has been "Irritable, nagging: nnd fault-findlns" and has threatened to kill her. Street-Car Damajre Salts. Alice M. Craig began an action in the Superior Court, yesterday, against the Indianapolis Street-railway Company, to recover $10,000 on account of personal injuries. She says that on Aug. 27 last, while in the act of getting off a car it was started violently forward and she was thrown to the pavement. Ellas Wolf also complains of the streetcar company. On Oct. 4. 1893, he was driving a laundry wagon and tried to drive across Washington street near, the river bridge. His vehicle was struck by a car and his horse was so badly injured that It had to be killed. The plaintiff was also injured and demands damages in the sum of $A00U. Doonvllle'H Grade Track. The town of Boontville yesterday answered the petition of the Louisville, Evnnsvllle & St. Louis Railroad Company, asking for an injunction restraining the town from opening up Fourth street across the tracks of the company. The answer says a larse part of-the town is south of the tracks, and there Is no street from

Third street for 660 feet. The two tracks referred to. the answer says, are the main track and the side track, and the latter is not used to exceed an hour each day. -The answer alsj claims that Fourth street has been used across the tracks as a highway for over twenty years. The dismissal of the petition 13 asked. Snes a Vermont Insurance Company Jerome B. Wells, In a suit brought yesterday against the Vermont Life Insurance Company, charges that the company has violated Its contract with him. He says that, in December, 1S33, the company issued to him a life insurance policy, and. according to the contract, after he had paid a certain amount, the Instrument was to be converted into a paid-up policy. He kept his part of the agreement, he says, but the company has failed to do what it promised. County Clerk's Statistics. County Clerk Elliott has prepared a report showing the business transacted in his office from June 1. 1S93, to Aug. 31, as follows: Collection of probate fees, $897.25; Superior. Circuit and Criminal Court fees, $2.3."1.73; Miscellaneous fees. $1,730.75; total, $1,973.75; salary due clerk from June 1 to Aug. 31. $1,373.

Augusta Cordes, who recently brought suit for divorce from Herman Cordes, has sued her husband, in the .Superior Court, for alleged breach of contract. Mrs. Cordes says that, In July, 1S9S, the defendant in-' duced her to sign a deed transferring their farm in Morgan county. She says she was to be paid $100 within ten days after the farm was sold. She has never received the amount, she avers, and asks the court to award her Judgment against the defendant. , THE COURT RECORD. 3

fl PREVALENCE OF RIOTS

DETAILS OF POLICE IX DIFFERENT PARTS OF TOWN LAST NIGUT. Sergeant Corrigan Exchanges ShotsMob Near Fountain Square Ma lott Avenue Quieter. If an outbreak of toughs occurs on the South Side, "the Boo gang is drunk again;" if a similar uprising happens on the North Side, the "Bungaloos are out again." People living In the southeastern part of town complain against the reputation being given their neighborhood In calling it the home of the Boo gang, and It Is expected that a similar complaint will come from the north part of town unless the brawls which are occuring these days are stopped. The police seem to be unable to control the lower class of young fellows, citizens say, and they are going forth in gangs from all parts of town to slay either "the inks" or other gangs of "w'ite guys." It is reported that these gangs should not be classified as the Boo gang or the Bungaloos, because they are being organized now all over town under a loosening police system. On account of the disturbance created Monday night on Sanders street around the stand of Cooper, the Itinerant medicine vender, patrolmen were stationed In that vicinity last night by Superintendent Quigiey. The night before the crowd became boisterous early in the evening. Sergeant Corrigan, in the effort to drive off the toughs, chased them down an alley and, to scare the men, fired a shot in the air. The only effect this produced was to bring back four shots from one of the pursued, who, after hearing several of Corrigan's bullets singing about his ears, made his escape. Anticipating further trouble among the "races" near Malott avenue, Superintendent Quigley last night gave orders for a sufficient number of sergeants and patrolmen to be on hand to prevent the people congregating In that neighborhood. Two sergeants and eight patrolmen were sent out about 7 o'clock and others were held in reserve. No trouble, however, resulted, though several crowds were seen and dispersed. The only call of the evening on account of "gangs" was from "Fountain square," where it was reported that as many as two hundred boys had gathered and were planning to descend upon the medicine show at Sanders and East streets. Four Bicycle men were sent out and when the lads saw the officers approaching they scattered like a covey of startled quail before their arrangements had been completed. Four of the crowd of Monday night at Malott avenue went to the police station last night and gave themselves up. They were Benjamin Hamilton. 1515 Sheldon street; Fletcher Klmberlin, 1006 East Eleventh street; Frank Bucy, 1504 Yandes street, and Charles E. Bucy, 1203 Malott avenue. They are charged with riot. Patrolman Huhn had a brush with the turbulent crowd at East and Sanders streets and at midnight had to be relieved from duty. He was struck four times by bowlders. Ills knee cap was so badly swollen he could not walk. BARRETT LAW CONFISCATION Points Raised in Federal Court by Marion Property Owner. James Charles, of Marlon, yesterday asked the United States courts to enjoin the city of Marion and the Warren-Scharf Asphalt Company from improving Washington street in Marion. He says he owns property on Washington street, between Highland avenue and the Misslsslnewa river, which has an aggregate frontage of about 1,000 feet. About 540 feet of this property is worth $5 a foot front and the remainder is worth $10 a foot front. He claims that the Improvement Is unlawful, because it will not benefit the property to the extent of the cost; because it is a violation of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution, providing that property shall only be taken by law after due process and full payment for It is made; because the plans for the improvement and the specifications were changed after the improvement was declared a necessity; because the city debt is $167,500 and the taxable property for 1S98 was $6,861,100. and the cost chargeable direct to the city will exceed $30,000, and thus bring the debt to more than the debt limit; becaube the action violates Sections 12 and 21 of the bill of rights of Indiana in the same particular as the Constitution is violated. He asks that an injunction may be issued. Neither Judge Woods nor Judge Baker was in the city, so no temporary injunction was issued. CITY NEWS NOtIs. The Tabernacle Wheel Club will ride tonight, leaving Tabernacle Church at 7:45 o'clock. The twelfth reunion of the Thirteenth Indiana Volunteer Cavalry will be held in Superior Court, Room 3, on Thursday, Sept. 21.

Mrs. Ida D. Flnley and Mrs. Hiram Brown. The ladles decided to hold a fair in December. Ambulance Horse Grev Impatient. . The City Dispensary ambulance answered a call last night to the far West End to succor an epileptic. When the ambulance arrived no epileptic could be found. The driver left the ambulance to search through the weeds, thinking the unfortunate "fit thrower" had fallen into a secluded clump of bushes. The horse came to the conclusion that a city employe had no right to waste his time hunting for work, and he started for home at a merry clip. He did not stop until he arrived at the City Dispensary door. The doctor was unable to control the animal. A TEMPERANCE HOTEL Scheme of Chlcairoana to Furnish Good Quarters at Low Prices. CHICAGO, Sept. 5. Preparations are under way for the establishment in Chicago of a hotel on the plan of the Mills Hotel of New York city, where patrons can secure a first-class room. Including bath, for 20 and 30 cents a night. The project is being advocated by John H. Bogue, agent for the Continental National Bank building, who is forming a stock company and has already received the moral and financial Indorsement of a number of capitalists. The proposed hotel Is not to be a charitable or philanthropic Institution in any sense of the word, but a straight business Investment, which is expected to pay a fair Interest on the money Invested and at the same time be a benefit to the city by furnishing men whose earnings are small with a home where they can live economically. It is intended to form a company with a capital stock of $500.0iw. divided into shares of $iw eacn, ana witn mis money purchase land in the down-town district and build the hotel. The building will be fireproof, and will comprise all the features of a modern first-class hotel. The building will have ten stories, each floor having 113 rooms, maKing i,iw sleeping rooms. Each room will contain one bed, chair and closet. The main floor will be devoted entirely to office, library, writing and lounging rooms. A restaurant, where good meals can be ob tained for U cents each, will be maintained in the basement, and one noticeable fea ture of the proposed hotel will be the absence of a bar, no liquors being allowed on the premises.

MEETING OF BANKERS AXM'AL COXVEXTIOX OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION. Nearly Six Billion Dollars of Capital Represented by the Delegates Report on Uniform Lair CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 5. The twentyfifth annual convention of tho American Bankers' Association was called to order in the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce building to-day,, with probably the largest attendance In the history of the organization. Between twelve and fifteen hundred visiting bankers, representing all sections of the country, were present. The amount of capital represented by the delegates, in round numbers, is given at $5,700,000,000. Dean Williams, of Trinity Episcopal Church, Invoked divine blessing upon the convention. In the absence of Mayor Farley, Director of Law Hogslettcr welcomed the bankers to the city. Vice President E. H. Borne, of the Cleveland Clearing-house Association, In the absence of President Thomas Wilson, welcomed the delegates in behalf of the Cleveland bankers. President George H. Russell, of the American Bankers Association, replied to the welcoming speeches, and followed with his annual address to tho organization. Secretary James R. Branch then read his annual report. It shows that the paid membership has increased from 1.S23, with annual dues of $10,597, in 1SS0, to 3,915, with annual dues of $53,240, in 1S&. By order of the executive committee $30,000 was transferred from the membership of the standing protective account; and the treasurer holds $24,000 government bonds, tho valuo of which is $26,460. In the past year 11 members were lost through failure, HquM.ion and withdrawal from the association, .t!ng the membership at the beginning of the fiscal year at 3,174. Seven hundred and forty-one members have joined from Sept. 1, 1S98, to Sept. I, .1893, a net gain over last year's total membership of 530. The roll now embraces 3,915 members, whose capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregate $l,230,192,m; combined deposits, $4,501,357,328; total, $5,731,559,519. This Is $341,211,025 more than the same assets of last year's members. These figures do not Include the capital and deposits of 372 members who are private bankers and make no statements. The report of the protective committee showed that the work of detecting and convicting bank robbers and swindlers has progressed with great success during the past year. Chairman Frank W. Tracey read the report of the committee on uniform laws. It follows: "The committee has had many suggestions as to laws it should favor. The importance of the work it engaged in, in trying to enact the uniform laws for negotiable Instruments in the different States, seemed to be so great that it turned down ail these suggestions, though many of them were very valuable. Our tirst duty is to get the same uniformity In our credit circulation as we have in our currency. There should be no state lines in rules regarding commercial paper. As an illustration, a banker was desirous of knowing how to treat a certain kind of paper in his dally business. He applied to his attorney for advice. The attorney advised him that the decisions of the Supreme courts of thirteen States were so and so. The banker said: 'Well, that settles It; I will handle the paper in that way.' The attorney said: 'No. for the Supreme courts of twelve States and the Supreme Court of the United States had decided Just the opposite.' With the law on commercial paper in such a Jumble, how are we laymen to safely conduct our business? Large sums of money are involved every day in such transactions, and were not the bankers of the United State men of such large faith in the integrity of their customers very little business could be done. The law, however. Is made not so much for men of integrity as to catch ras. cals, and there appears occasionally among the customers of a bank such an one, ana for him we must have legislation. We neeu not repeat the history of our bill for negotiable instruments. It was sired in England and has had eighteen years of successful operation. The great business men of England approve it. So much so, that they have had it enacted in all their colonies. The American Bar Association in lSf3 presented a revision of this bill adapted to American Ideas. It immediately met tho approval of the business men of the country, and your committee, in 1&97, was intrusted with the task of presenting it to the different legislatures for their approval. When we commenced our work we found the law had D:en enacted in four StatesNew York, Connecticut, Colorado and Flor Ida. In 1893 but few of the legislatures were in session. We worked with live States. Maryland, Massachusetts and Virginia passed the bill. Ohio and Georgia created commissions, which, we think, will report favorably this coming winter. This year many legislatures met. We got a hearing in most of them, and. in the main, were successful. We passed the till in eight States and the District of Columbia, more than doubling the number of States enacting the law. The following States are now working under the law: New York, Virginia, Florida, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Connecticut. Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, Washington. Massachusetts, Colorado, Rhode Island, Utah, Oregon and the District of Columbia." It was decided to defer the presentation of the reports of the education, credits, fidelity, insurance and warehouse-receipt and bills-of-ladlng committees until tomorrow. The convention then adjourned until 11 o'clock to-morrow. This afternoon the representatives of the fctate banks and banking organizations met to select five of the ten members of the executive council to be elected this year Their choice fell upon'C. P. Lindsey, cf South Befid, Ind.; Stuart G. Nelson, of New York: J. D. Powers, of Owensboro, Ky.; Daniel Annan, of Cumberland. Md., and T. B. Stevens, of Blair, Neb. The remaining five members of the executive council to be elected will be nominated by the reguar nominating committee, composed of one member from each State, which was chosen to-night and which will also nominate the officers of the association. In accordance with the custom Walker Hill, of St. Loul. now vice president, will be elected president. The impression to-nlsht is that Alvah TTowbrid&e, of New York, president of the Trust Company of North America and now chairman of the executive council of the association, will be elected vice president to succeed Mr. Hill.
