The highly sensational melodrama, "The Fatal Card." will be presented by the Ferrib company at the Park Theater to-day and to-morrow at both matinee and evening performances. XXX A New York raper Is authority for the announcement that Indianapolis theatergoers are to hnve a single glimpse of William A. lirady'a production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." which has been the reigning sensation of New York for many weeks past. XXX Seats will be placed on sale at the box office of English's Opera House to-morrow morning for the single appearance of May Irwin. In "Madge Smith. Attorney," at that playhouse next Tuesday night. The seat sale for the engagement of Nat C. Goodwin and Maxine Klliott. In "The Merchant of Venice," next Wednesday night, will open Friday morning. xxx Notwithstanding the extraordinary expense to which Mr. Goodwin has been put in arranging the elaborate revival of "The Merchant of Venice," which wili be brought to English'-- Opera House next Wednesday night, the same scale of prices will prevail that Is always charged for a Ooodwln-El-Uott engagement. This means that the best seats in the theater may be had for 2. XXX The nimble Sa-Vans, In their unique acrobatic act, and Ralph Johnson, the sensational bicycle expert, are the strongest feature of this week's vauderlile bill at the Grand. Jules Devy, cornetlst, would receive more applause If he ihould make up his mind to give tho best he has "!n stock." His exhibition of ventrlloquial cornet-playing Is an intimation of the kind of work he could do if he saw fit. XX The appearance at Engli3h's Opera IIouso to-night of Richard Mansfield, in his brilliant revival of "King Henry V," means the assembling of one of those great audiences representing the city's culture and wealth, such as are witnessed very rarely In Indianapolis. It is to be hoped that all holders of tickets will be in their seats promptly at 7:43 o'clock, so as not to deprive themselves or others of the privilege of enjoying the most remarkable production of recent years. XXX Augustln Daly Is credited with having once said that May Irwin was destined to become the greatest comedienne in the world. Whether that prophecy has been realized or not. it is certain that fewwomen have amassed larger fortunes through their efforts to entertain the public than has Miss Irwin. Her appearance at English's Tuesday night of next week will reveal the brilliant comedienne In an entirely new frce. "Madge Smith. Attorney." Of course, the clientele of Miss Irwin neel not be told that she will have a budget of new and catchy tongs. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. Jarres P. Stanley will not observe her day at home to-day.

BOY KITES THE BIDDING

A THIRTEEN-YCAR-OLD LAD OtT111 IIS E. II. 31 A It T I X DAL IZ. Younsr Amdeii, of Shelby vllle, Ilnys a Hereford Cow for $:HM Sales of the Day. A lad of thirteen years created quite a furore among the cattlemen attending the central States spring combination sale at the Union Stockyards yesterday afternoon when he stepped into the bidding ring and began bidding on one of the choice offerings of the afternoon. The lad wore knickerbockers and had a boyish face, but he knew more about Hereford cows than many of the old cattlemen present, and as he sized up the young cow in the ring he had a critical eye and noted that she was a perfect Hereford specimen. He stood on one side of the enclosure, about ten feet from the chief auctioneer, and announced his bids in a clear voice. The offering was Margaret from the consignment of J. C. Adams, Moweaqua, 111. The bidding started at a low figure and increased rapidly by $25 stages until it reached $150, when several of the bidders dropped out. Across the ring stood E. B. Martindale, who eyed the young cow with a great longing. By Mr. Martindale's side stood David Wallace, manager of the sale. Mr. Martindale entered the bidding at $150 and the buy shouted "$175." BOY GOT THE COW. It was then nip and tuck between the two, the price increasing first by $25 stages, then $10 and down to $5 bids. The lad would wait a moment after Mr. Martindale made his bid and would then turn to the auctioneer and raise the price. The boy finally ran the bid to $275 and then Mr. Martindale said he would not bid more. The crowd cheered and Mr. Martindale bid $.5. The lad then said in plain tones "$J0u." This made the crowd applaud loudly and the auctioneer waited for a higher bid, and receiving none he sold the cow to the boy. The lad is the son of C. E. Amseien, of Shelbyville, and is a partner in the cattle business with his father. After the bidding the lad was congratulated by many cattlemen for his plucky bidding. He simply replied that he wanted the cow and bid for her. His father was in the crowd, but the boy only turned to him once or twice to receive the approval of the senior member of the firm. The sale was the first day cf the combination sale and during the day a large crowd gathered in the sale stables of the Indiana Horse and Mule Company to watch the sales or to participate in the bidding. A large number of women occupied seats In the gallery and around the ring. Eighty-one head of Hereford cattle were sold and as a rule they brought good prices, many selling at fancy prices. It was a bad day for the bulls and the bidding on the male Etock was not spirited. This was due to the fact that the bulls were inferior to the cows and also that there was scarcely any demand for them. A few dealers were disappointed in the prices at which some of their cattle were sold and two or three times during the afternoon the owner of an offering in the ring would offer ?J in excess of the highest bid to the man who made the successful bid. The successful bidders would not accept these offers, however, although they could clear without the slightest trouble. MARTINDALE BUYS HEAVILY. Mr. K. B. Martindale, of Indianapolis, was one of the largest buyers of the day, and he bought several of the best offerings. A. A. Womack and Guy Hawes also made successful bids on a number of fancy cows. Amsden &'Son, of Shelbyville, bought in a few other offerings besides Margaret, which was bought by Mr. Amsden's young son. The highest price paid during the day was $300, for Dorana, a beautiful cow from the consignment of F. A. Nave, Attica, Ind., and bought by Guy Hawes, of Indianapolis. The next highest price paid was $70o for Dinah J., from the consignment of S. H. Goodman, Wabash, Ind., and purchased by Amsden & Son. Some of the other largest sales above $300 were as follows: Mlg. $320, consigned by Clem Graves, Bunker Hill, Ind., bought by B. Hathaway; May Queen, H55. consigned by C. A. Jamison, Peoria. 111., bought by S. L. Wright; Lady Bertha, $305, consigned by Clem Graves, bought by J. E. Cook, city; Primrose, $4S0. consigned by C. A. Jamison, bought by K. li. Martindale; Tltania, $326, consigned by C. A. Jamison, bought by E. B. Martindale; Little Jewel, $4'j5, consigned by C. A. Jamison, bought by S. L. Wright; Cadelia, $335, consigned by C. A. Jamison, bought by A. A. Womack; Elvina, $315, consigned by F. A. Nave, bought by E. B. Martindale; Stuart of Shadeland X, $390, consigned by John Lewis, Shadeland, Ind., bought by J. Hedges & Son; Bess, $505, consigned by S. H. Goodman, bought by A. A. Womack; Carlotta. $400, consigned by F. A. Nave, bought by E. B. Martindale; Beauty, $360. consigned by F. A. Nave, bought by E. B. Martindale; Prunella, $455, consigned by F. A. Nave, bought by E. B. Martindale; Pride IV, $405, consigned by Clem Graves, bought by E. B. Martindale; Anxiety Miss, $4S5. consigned by B. K. Keyt, Newton, Ind., bought by Guy Hawes; Alclna. $4U0, consigned by A. S. Wolcott, Concord, Mich., bought by Clem Graves. All but one of the above list were cows. The bull was Stuart of Shadeland X, and he brought the highest price paid for a bull. There were many sales between $150 and $300. The sale to-day will be confined to shorthorn cattle. FEDERAL GRAND JURY WORK. An Investigation of Postal Violations A Case Compromised. The United States grand jury began its session at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon beginning the investigation of persons charged with postal violations. Joseph P. Hawkes, of Goshen, was chosen foreman of the Jury. The session may occupy two wetks. The circuit jury was to have taken up a case at 9 o'clock to-morrow, but as the case was settled out of court there will be nothing for the jury before Saturday. One case which was to have been trleu by this jury was the damage suit of Marietta Lay against the Michigan Central Railroad Company. She sued for $10.000 damages. The case was compromised for $2.375. The husband of the plaintiff was an engineer, and jumped from his engine one night when he saw iL was about to collide with a freight car in the Michigan City yards. In Jumping from his engin? Lay struck a car, receiving Injuries from which he died a few days later. The damage suit of Harry Hyatt against the L. E. ,fc W.. brought In the United States Court, has been dismissed.

A JiiIIhu Memorial. Mr?. Grace Julian Clarke, daughter of the late George W. Julian, has prepared a little memorial of her distinguished father in the shape of a chapter of reminiscences and Impressions of his character anu personality. It is in no sense biographical, touching, as it does, but incidentally on hi public life, but Is rather an appreciative and tender tribute from one who was brought by circumstances Into peculiarly cloje relations with him. The memorial, which has been printed and neatly bound, is accompanied by a tine portrait of Mr,

Julian as he appeared in his prime, and also by a reproduction of the death mask taken by Mahoney. The little book was privately printed for circulation amorg Mr. Julian's personal friends, but In view of the possibility that some who have not been included in the list may wish to possess the souvenir, a limited number has been placed with the Bowen-Menlll Company and can be had there at an time. BOARD OF ARMY OFFICERS.

One Will lie Convened to Pas I'pon Disposition of Arsenal Grounds. It was stated at the War Department in Washington yesterday that a board of army officers would be convened to investigate and report upon the disposition to be made of the arsenal grounds in this city and other points where the department recently ordered the discontinuance of the arsenals. If the board reports that any of these grounds are valuable for other military uses than arsenals they will be retained under the control of the War Department. If not they will be turned over to the Interior Department as abandoned military reservations. In any case, their nnal disposition will remain with Congress. ACTION OF MERCHANTS THC ASSOCIATION PETITIONS THE BOARD OF WOHKS. They AVnnt the Business Streets Cleaned and Flashed Other Municipal Affairs. The Indianapolls Merchants Association. following up the suggestion which was made by some of its members to the Board of Works the other day with reference to keeping the down-town streets in a better sanitary condition, yesterday presented to the Board of Works the following memorial on the subject: "At a recent meeting of the Merchants' Association a committee was appointed to ascertain what methods could be employed i to bring the down-town business center to a more perfect sanitary and clean condition. The most natural solution was to ask you gentlemen, who .represent the people's Interests in this board, to Join with and help solve this problem. The merchants lr the down-town districts annually entail severe losses, particularly during the dry season, by the dirt and dust that is blown in their stores, which ruins the stock of merchandise, and, as year by year stocks become more valuable, this loes becomes greater and more important, until now it is deemed absolutely necessary that radical means to rectify this severe loss should be employed. Therefore, this association, through-its committee, prays you that an organised and uniformed brigade, thoroughly equipped, be formed, using as a pattern the general plan and scope, with paraphernalia, that is used on Broadway of New York city, which is probably the bestkept street in this country. Tne territory that we ask to be covered is from East street to West street and from Ohio street to Georgia street. In conjunction with this we request that these streets be flushed from two to three times a week during the dry season so thoroughly as to keep them in perfect sanitary condition. It is the opinion of the Merchants' Association that whatever expense the city might have In this matter would come back many fold to Its business men in the advertising that this would give the city. "Representing, as we do, the largest mercantile Interests of this city, we would ask that this matter be given your earnest and prompt attention, coming quickly to a decision that will attain this end." Tenth-Street Bridge Inspected. A trip was taken by the Board of Works, yesterday afternoon, to inspect the Tenthstreet bridge over the canal, which it is proposed to lower three feet in order to bring it to the grade of Tenth street, which Is to be paved. The board was accompanied by F. A. . Davis, vice president of the Water Company. The company is remonstrating against the lowering of the bridge, because it will interfere with the operation of its naphtha launch. Encllsh-Avenue Extension. Mayor Taggart announced, yesterday, that it had been decided by the Board of Works and President McGowan, of the Street-railway Company, to build the proposed extension jt the English-avenue line to Rural street at once. CnpMoI-Avenue Contract. The contract for sprinkling Capitol avenue has been awarded, by the Board of Works, to F. W. Fuehring. MR. REMY REPLIES. He Claims , thut Ills Office Has Been Unjustly Criticised. Charles F. Remy, reporter of the Supreme and Appellate courts, feels that he has been unjustly treated by an anonymous correspondent of an afternoon paper, wh complained that the reports of the higher courts are not published frequently enough. Yesterday Mr. Remy called attention to tho fact that the secretary of state has about finished the work of distributing Volume ITC of the Supreme Court Reports and that this volume brings the reporting up to Jan. 1, 1901. In addition to the regular decisions the volume contains the action of the court on petitions for rehearing up to March of the present year. Mr. Remy also stated that the twenty-fifth volume of Appellate Court Reports, which will brinJf the work of that tribunal up to January of this year, is now in the hands of the printer. There will not be sufficient material to form a new volume of the Supreme Court Reports until about the 1st of September. "I cannot very well manufacture decisions to form a volume," said Mr. Remy.

NATIONAL JOURNEYMEN PLUMBERS MEET. They Decide to Mnintnln Their Position Firmly Other Matters. The Journeymen Plumbers' Union held a lengthy session last night and the members decided to stand firm in their position of refusing to work with helpers. The plumbing of the city is practically tied up, the only firms working being J. C. Dunn and Klrkhoff Brothers. These firms, the union says, will te unionized and it is said that the plumbers employed by Kirkhoff , uroiners nave aireauy conseniea to join the union. How long the strike will last cannot be stated, as the master plumbers have announced that all plumbers must go to work with helpers. The association says no concessions will be made and the union takes the same arbitrary stand. The union says the refusal to work with apprentices is only following a precedent set in other cities and that it has the national organization back of it in its demands. The men refused to go to work yesterday morning when ordered to be accompanied by helpers. The union men say they will stay out until their demands nre granted and the association says they never will be. Hardwood Floor Layers' Strike. Those who have been engaged in carrying on negotiations looking to the settlement of the strike of the hardwood floor layers claim they were told that when the charter of the Hardwood Floor Layers' Union, recently organized, Fhould have been received from national headquarters the contractors and men would meet and fix the scale of wages and that the union would be recognized. Thus far it is said that II. E. Hamilton and Mr. C. Thomas are the only contractors that have complied with the agreement. The majority of the men are still out and have been for four weeks past. Some of the firms have, it is claimed, employed workmen who are not members of the union. Central Labor Union has taken up the matter and will insist on a definite answer before Saturday night. If a reply Is not forthcoming by that time the central organization will take decisive action at its meeting next Monday night. State Labor .Commissioner McCormack has interested himself in the strike. MuHiciunn Union Trouble. The Musicians' Union of Elwood Is fighting Montani Brothers' Orchestra, of this city, in the American Federation of Musicians. The Elwood union preferred charges against Montani Brothers for playing outside of their Jurisdiction, and the executive committee exonerated them, but the action was not concurred in by the national body. Tho Montanis were fined $100 for the offense, and they have filed a protest with the American Federation of Musicians asking that all action and fines be declared off, as they were never given a hearing or trial. The Montanis claim that they played at Muncie, where a harpist was required, nnd the Elwood union way unable to furnish the needed instrument. The point involved affects many unions throughout the country and will be settled ar the national convention of the American Federation of Musicians that meets in Denver this month. CITY NEWS ITEMS.
