Captain Bonuvlta and Other Attaches II are Xarrorr Escnpes A Qunpga Chased. i . Rafah, the Zoo tiger that killed Albert Nellson two weeks ago, broke from his cagro yesterday morning; attacked Captain lionavita and a quagga and was subdued y the latter. Trainer Boyker had taken the quagrga Jrom Its cage Into the passageway leading to the arena. Just then the tiger In the cage adjacent was heard Jumping against tho rear door of its cage, which gave way after several attempts. Boyker had Just time to take refuge in tho quagga's cage before the tiger emerged into the passageway and at once started for the quagga, which, becoming terrified, ran Into the arena. - W. F. Tanner was working Insloo the arena and Captain Uonavita was on the Btepa leading to the arena entrance. Tanner did not hear Boyker's cries and was startled to see the approach of the tiger. Xcajah was pursuing tho quagga, and until ho came upon tho men had apparently no other thought than to kill his prey. When he caught sight of the men It was to them that his attention was given. Bonavlta drew his revolver as Rajah sprang at him and fired and then proddod him with a steel club." The quagga, still terrified nnd running about the arena, approached too clo.o to tho tiger and was torn by its claws. A moment later Kajah turned again upon the quagga. which, jumping and kicking, struck the tiger squarely on the tdde of the head with both rear hoofs.

The bullet from his reolvtT penetrated the left side close to the heart and was of such force that the animal momentarily was stopped in its attack. Itajah was revived by water turned into the arena through tho bars and was later prodded to his cage. During the excitement there were a few spectators in the building. All were terror r trie ken and highly praised lionavita for hi bravery. He was at first in a place of safety and entered tho arena, to assist Tanner, who was taken by surprise and without weapons.

DEATH OF E. G. CORNELIUS

had long ih:e identified with dimness iviehests. For Many Venrs He Had Ileen Arhooeliited 'Ith . M. It) ru lull, nürnberger Dead. The death of K. G. Cornelius, of No. 1003 North Meridian street, yesterday afternoon, at 3:r o'clock, removes one of the citizens of Indianapolis long Identified with Its commercial and industrial interests und one of Its most successful business men. III- death was due to a stroke of paralysis on Saturday last, from which he did not recover consciousness. One ytar ago he suffered a similar attack, from which he partially recovered, but which made it necessary for him to give up personal attention to his business affairs. Mr. Cornelius was born Sept. 29, IS,!?, at Petersburg, Ky., and was one of a family of thirteen children, of whom Mr. Pembroke Cornelius, of the Indiana Trust Company, is the sole survivor. He removed with his parents to Shelby county, Indiana, In li3, locating about live miles east of Shelbyville. His commercial career was begun when quite young as a clerk In a general storo at Shelby ville. He later became the owner of the business and continued with it until UtS, when he came to Indianapolis and entered Into partnership with Oliver Tousey and X. S. Byram, conducting a retail dry goods store, which was abandoned after two years, and a wholesale dry goods and notion store opened on South Meridian street. This store for many years was the leading one of its kind In this city. The business relations of Mr. Cornelius and Mr. Uyram were such as to make it tho subject of comment. From the first neither questioned the other's tranactions, though frequently one would enter Into large matters of business without the knowledge of the other. Their dry goods business was sold in LvsS to D. 1. Erwin & Co., and later transferred to the Havens-Ceddes Company. The business relations of Messrs. Cornelius & Byram continued until his death, and after the sale of the dry goods business they purchased and rebuilt the IndianapolisChair Manufacturing Company plant, which Is now one of the largest and best equipped plants In the country. For a number of years Mr. Cornelius had charge of this plant, while Mr. Byram attended to other of their mutual Interests. Mr. Cornelius was twice married, his first wife being Miss Ann Mayhew, of Shelbyvllle, who died a year later. Ills second marriage was in IStX), to Miss Melissa Jeffras, of Shelbyvllle, who survives him, together with three children, Mrs. Quincy A. Myers, of Logansport, Mrs. Frank E. Helwig and Mrs. A. II. Parker, jr., both of this city. Mr. Cornelius was a Mason and a member of the lodge at Shelbyvllle, where since 1A ho had retained his membership, unknown to members of his family. He was in politics a Republican, and was a charter member of the Columbia Club. He never held politcal otflce. He was one of the charter members of tho Board of Trade and was one of the organizers of that body. For a number of years he was second vice president of the Indiana Trust Company, which he was Instrumental in organizing. lie was a member of Roberts Park Church for many years and acted at various times In official capacities, and was also connected actively with a great deal of the charity work of the city. He was reticent about his personal affairs and many important things in his life are yet unknown to members of his family. lie wa.i regarded by all as a most progressive yet conservative man in business, and one peculiarly attached to his home and family. The arrangements for the funeral will not be made until this morning. HERMAN BAMBERGER DEAD. He "Was One of the Rent-Known llebrena of the City. Herman Bamberger, one of the most active workers and prominent members of the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation, and the last of tho charter members of that organization, died at 1 o'clock this morning at his home, C13 North Alabama street, after an Illness of several weeks. Death was caused by congestion of the brain. He was sixty-four years of age, and was born in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany. He came to America when eighteen years of age, coming at once to Indianapolis, which has been his continuous residence since that time. The year following his arrival he interested himself in the establishment of the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation, and was elected as It first secretary and afterward acted in some official capacity. It was through his active interest in the welfare of the Jewish people that the Market-street Temple was constructed about thirty years ago, at which time he was president of the congregation, and it was largely through his efforts that the new Delaware-street Temple was built. He was much interested in public affairs and was active in promoting and carrying on the public charities of the city. He was at one time a member of the School Board, and introduced the tlrst resolution looking to the establishment of the Manual Training High school. In 1ST2 and 1ST3 he wr.s president of the I. O. B. B., the leading Jewish fraternal society of the city. In politics he was a Republican. Mr. Bamberger entered the hat nnd fur business at 16 Kast Washington street in PUS and continued in that location until lsid. During the last few years he was connected with the New York Life Insurance Company agency. He was married, in lSn. to Miss Caroline Daniels, of Cincinnati, who, with their live children. Michael, Ralph. Edwin. Mrs. Sol. L. Kiser nnd Mrs. David A. Kahn, survive him. The funeral arrangements have not yet ben made. Tlinnm II. McLean Denth. Thomas II. McLean, manager of the Toledo Traction Company, died of pneumonia yesterday at Toledo, O. Death was caused by wounds In the throat, self-inflicted last Saturday. He was at times manager of the Twenty-third-street Railway, of New York, the Citizens' Street-railroad Company, of this city, and the electric lines In the City of Mexico. He went to Toledo in HOTEL ENGLISH LEASE. It "Will Probnlily Be Secured 1- 3Ien Interested lu ew Claypool. Another deal Is on looking to the transfer of the Hotel English to other parties.

The new company Is largely made tip of the same gentlt men who are Interested in the new l.iay pool Hotel, Henry YV. Lawrence, the proprietor of the Hates llouso. being among the number.

LEAGUE TEXTII AM'AL CONVENTION HELD IX THIS CITY, The Old onieer Are Re-Eleeted Ileporttt Submitted and Papers Rend and DlscitMned. Tho Building and Loan Association League of Indiana held its tenth annual convention In Room 12 of the Statehouse jesterday. There were delegates there from all over the State, and It was the most successful meeting the league has ever held. All of the old officers were reelected. They are: President, I. II. C. Royse, of Torre Haute; first vice president, T. B. Orr, of Anderson; second vice president, J. R. Welch, of this city; secretary, A. L. Gutheil, of Shelbyvllle; treasurer, A. A. Young, of this city. The session was to have opened at 10 o'clock, but as most of the delegates did not arrive until noon there was little business transacted until that time. Shortly after 'dinner President Royse submitted his annual report. In it he said that through the efforts of the league the associations which are in business merely for speculation are quietly retiring, as their opportunities for speculation are diminishing. After the president's report the report of Secretary Gutheil was read. He showed that three new associations had Joined the league, bringing the total membership up to sixty. The receipts during the year were JC6.S1, and the expenditures $240.23, leaving a balance of tJö. Secretary Gutheil also read the paper which was prepared and read by Bishop O'Donaghue, of this city, before the national association, which held its meeting in New Orleans. The title of the paper is "The Building Association; Its Inlluence on the Community." It was intended that the bishop should read it himself. Put he was unable to be present. In the paier he dealt with the fact that a building and loan association does much good to a community. He said that it enabled men who earn their living by hard labor to put by a small amount each week and in this way gave them a standing In tho community. E. l- Miller read an address on "Advertising In Building and Loan Associations; the Best Methods, etc." He took the ground that all fraudulent institutions advertise extensively. The next address was delivered by Thomas B. Orr, of Anderson, the subject of which was "The Indiana Building and Loan Laws." He commended the Legislature for its action In killing House bill No. b5. The other speeches were delivered by J. Oberholtzer, of Elkhart, who spoke on "The Building Association as a Permanent Saving;" Walter L. Davis, of Muncie. on "The Banks; Their Relations to Building and Loan Associations." J. E. Elder, of Terre Haute, then read the final report of the various committees. Before the league adjourned it adopted resolutions thanking the Senate committee on building and loan associations for the prompt and efficient action it took in killing House bill No. S3, a measure fraught with danger to all associations. The executive committee was not named by President Royse. This he -"ill do later, after he has considered the nn. .ter thoroughly. The league adjourned to meet this time next year. IRON LEAGUE SPEAKS. It Deplores Crimes Agnlnxt "Women nnd Also Mob Liov, A well-attended meeting of the Iron Leaguo was held at its clubrooms on Indiana avenue last night. Some time was spent In discussing the recent crimes committed by negroes and the lynching in Terre Haute. A committee of five was selected to draft a suitable expression of the ssentlments of tho club. The following was reported and unanimously adopted: "As law-abiding American citizens we deprecate lawlessness in every form by whoever committed and ask that the law be strictly and Impartially enforced against all violators. We' sympathize with outraged womanhood and denounce the perpetrators of such crimes. "We condemn in unmeasured terms the unchristian, uncivilized action of the mob in Terre Haute that cruelly and unlawfully put to death and afterwards burned the negro for the crime of murder. We believe the laws were sufficiently strong nnd public sentiment sufficiently great as to leave no doubt of the adequate punishment of this self-confessed criminal. "We believe that the thinking, law-abiding citizens should unite In an endeavor to see that criminals are speedily and lawfully punished for crime and to do all in their power to discourage tho resort to mob violence. "Wo urge our representatives in the Legislature to vote and work for the passage of the bill now before that bodv which has for its purpose tho stopping of lynchlngs. "We wish to express our appreciation of the efforts of tho late Governor Mount, present Governor Durbln and Attorney General Taylor to prevent lynching and to punish those who are guilty of taking part therein." Carpenters nt Work. A gang of carpenters has been engaged by Director General Rostock to construct n number of new cages and apartments at the Zoo, in order to accommodate the largo consignments of animals, birds and reptiles now en route to this c ity.

IN MISS KEELY'S FAVOR

SEVEHAL WITNESSES MF.FOItF THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE. They llefute Former Charge f ExceMnlve I'u n I Ii in cut A n other Meetlny To-Day. The Investigation of the Industrial School for Girls and tho Woman's Trjion was resumed in room No. 110 at the Statehouse last night. A number of witnesses were called by Miss Keely and testified to the good character of the superintendent, her uniformly good treatment of the inmates and te the generally excellent management of the Institution. Miss Keely did not testify. Tho first witness called was Dr. W. II. Wishard. He testified that he had known Miss Keely from her youth up and, after stating that he had means of knowing Miss Kcely's reputation, said he had never known anything derogatory to her reputation as a good woman. The next witness was Dr. Sarah Stockton, who was physician at the Reformatory from 1S31 to 1S0S. She usually visited, the Institution three times a week during the eight years and on occasions went oftener. The institution, she said, considering the fact that it was an old building, was kept in a very excellent and cleanly condition. She had known of patients being kept behind closed doors, but said she had deemed it necessary in order to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. Miss Keely's demeanor toward the inmates and the officers of the Institution, the witness said, had ever been kind and considerate, and to the best of her recollection she had never heard Miss Keely u?e a discourteous wortl toward any of the officers. The witness had on various ocaslons seen tle girls punished at the? Institution, and on each occasion they had been whipped over their clothing and usually on the lower extremities. In no case was the punishment cruel or Inhuman. Dr. Stockton was also acquainted with the confinement of Mary Springs, whom a former witness had testified was locked up In a cell for 204 days. The Springs woman, the witness said, showed 'very marked signs of a foul and loathsome disease and had been kept apart from the other inmates at the suggestion of the witness. The witness said she hael never heard of Miss Keely being addicted to narcotics or Intoxicants until after the beginning of the investigation. Miss Keely, the witness said, had two very severe attacks of malarial fever and had suffered much from rheumatism, and there had been times when the witness had given her narcotics in order that she might sleep. Cora M. Clark, who has had charge of tho girls' laundry at the institution for the last fifteen months, was the next witness. Her duties were to teach the girls how to do plain and fancy laundry work. She had occasion to note Miss Keely's demeanor to the inmate. of the institution and had always found her verj kind and lenient toward them. The witness said she had seen a number of inmates punished nnd had helped to punish some herself. The girls were usually whipped while in a standing position, but one one or two occasions she had seen girls thrown to the Moor and whipped while In a recumbent petition. The witness had not seen any cf the girls whipped within the last six months. The next witness was Miss Emma Hart, an officer and teacher at the Institution. During the course of her employment she had come In very close contact with Miss Keely, and had ever found her to be uniformly kind and considerate In her conduct towards both the. officers and inmates of the institution. She had seen the Inmates of the institution punished with a strap, and had administered such punishment herself. Tho girls had frequently cried after they had been whipped, but the witness had never heard one of them moan. The Institution, the witness said, was kept in an exceptionally neat and orderly manner. Tho witness described the punishment room about which so much has been said as being a half-basement room which was kept as clean and orderly and provided with just as good and clean bedding as any other room In the Institution. Timothy Nicholson, a memler of tho State Board of Charities, was the next witness. He said there had been freejuent reports made to the State Board of Charities of punishment at the various state institutions, which were always investigated, but he had never heard of any improper or Immoderate punishment at tho reformatory. Kate Glrdner, who has charge of the dressmaking department at the institution, testified that- she had assisted in whipping some of the girls at the institution, but none had ever been whipped Immoderatelj. The witness had seen Miss Keely slap girls in the face, but had not seen anything of the kind within the last six months. The conduct of the girls at the institution, the witness said, had grown uniformly better. The last witness was Mrs. Margaret Yule, a prison hospital nurse at the institution. The hospital was well equipped, she said, for taking care of the sick, and there was also an ample supply of medicine always kept on hand. Miss Keely's demeanor toward the oificers and inmates of the institution, the witness yaid. was kind and courteous. She had never Feen Miss Keely under th inlluence of narcotics. The meeting was adjourned until 8:30 this morning. MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. Contrnctor to Fay Attorneys FeesOther .Matter. About fifteen Indianapolis contractors who bid on public Improvements met in the private office of the Board of Works yesterday to raise funds to pay about $500 due the law firm of Elliott, Elliott & Holtzrran, who represented the contractors In the litigation that was brought last fail before Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, held that the Barrett law regarding the assessments for public Improvements was unconstitutional. The contractors at that time agreed to bear the expense of getting a eleclsloii In the matter, as they were all interested In public Improvements, and about &iK) was raised. It was recently learned that ?50 is still due the attorney, and the contractors agreed yesterday to raise this amount. I'lunililnig Ordinance 1'entiireM. The councllmanlc committee on public safety ami comfort considered the plumbing ordinance last night. Y. J. Freaney, of the master plumbers, and 11. T. Hudson, of the Independent plumbers, were before the committee and recommended several minor changes in the orelinance. The ordinance may be changed to lower the eeist of plumbing perndts and to fix the time ot the ordinance taking effect, so that contracts that havf recently been let will not bo affectid. The journeymen plumbers will be heard next week, and It is expected that they will assail the change In the new orelinance which provides that the plumbing Inspector shall be examined by a board consisting ef three practical plumbers doing business In the city. Thl conforms with the city charter, but ll- jounu-yinen will ask that the section be amended Vo that they will have- a representative on the examining board. HentliiK oiiipaii Itond.

A gentleman familiar with insurance matters saiel yesterday that the present session of the Indiana Legislature had been more than usually considerate in the matter of Insurance enactments. Out of the nearly eleven hundred bills of Various kinds. Introduceel to date there are only about thirty directly affecting insurance, and less than one-half of these are directed at the regular lifo companies. Few of them have made material progress, and the passage of anything that would prove Injurious to policy holders, as life insurance legislation usually doe s, is hardly 'probable. Mr. Stookey has an eleventh-hour bill in the House calling for a wholly new code, taking life insurance from the state auditor ami placing it with the t-ecretary of f-tate, imposing a tax of 2 per cent, on gross premiums and ripping things up generally. But so radical a measure can hardly be ex pected to make mich advancement at this late time in tho session, if lndeeel it is even heard of again outside the committee. Several measures looking toward the further regulation of the assessment associations are included among the pending measures, ami it was the opinion of the gentleman quoted that the enactment of some of them would prove an additional safeguard to the public. But he stated that the plea of "fraternallsm" and cry of "persecution" was still effective in saving them from the stringent official supervision required by the regular life companies, and that tho pubMc probably needed the further proof of their instability sure to comebefore rigorous enactments for their control could be expected. As a whole the Insurance situation in a legislative way seems less threatening than for several years, and the peopie of Indiana are apparently to be permitted to go ahead Insuring their lives unvexed by enactments that would increase the cost of their indemnity or otherwise trouble thetn. Ireiclent of Antlonnl AdMoeintion. Superintendent of Tublic Instruction Jones returned yesterday from Chicago, where he has been attending the meeting of the National Associtaion of State School Superintendents. The meeting was held in University Hall and was largely attended. Mr. Jones delivered the first speech of the session and talked upon tho consolidation of all1 the schools in a town into one and then furnishing free omnibuses to convey the children back and forth. He told them that this had been done in this State for more than twe lve years. At the close of the meeting Mr. Jones was elected president of the National Association. Two Fraternity Meeting. The local alumni chapter of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity held its quarterly meeting at the Commercial Club last night, where a dinner was served. Judge McMaster presided as toastmaster and a number of informal talks were made.. No business was transacted. The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity held its monthly luncheon at the Commercial Club yesterday noon and appointed a committee to select live delegates to attend the convention of the local councils at Ann Arbor In April. Thu More Vletims. Two more smallpox cases were' reported to the Hoard of Health yesterday, making a total of twenty-one this winter. Alice Wright, living at 2211 Yandes street, daughter of Mrs. Jennie Cullion, contracted the elisease while nursing her mother, who is also affiicted.
