In the event ofils recovery it is thought by Dra. Oliver an Morrison, who attended him. that he wir be totally blind. "ie tank which fell were upon a steel tofer forty-si v feet high. Two of the tailks were each of the capacity of 5.0MJ gaflon.. There were two smaller tanks, one used as si "stirring" tank' and the other
0 fiWA with and as a lllter. The tanks
we.-? part of a system for the cleaning of :he Udlers in the power house. O.ie of fhe large tanks was tilled, with water, lnt which a large quantity of lime had boi slacked. TJie system way being built fr the county by -the Joseph Mi-Williams Company, of Louisville, Ky. This company had subk"ts the work for the tower, which wa? r.U-de of steel ungle bars, to the Wefugo Mfuiufacturlng Company, of Cincinnati. Thfc contract price was Jl.iCS. The Job had Ju?S been completed, and wan put to test Saturday for the nrst time before being accepted by the county. Yesterday morning another test was to be made, and Ian caster went to the top of the tower to make some adjustment of a motor. He wis "itardlng at work between the two large tar-ks and beside the motor when thtwewht of the tanks, tilled with water and 'ai;. caused the supports to break. There waS a terrific crash, which was heard for evral squares. Lancaster fell with the wreck. He was cai'.Kht between the large tanks containing ths Ilm water solution and one of the moller tanks and pinned among the wreckage It was with dlfflculty he was taken cuu and the feat was not accomplished tintSl most of the 3,5" grnllons of lime water which was In one of th? tanks had poured ovet him. He was taken at once to St. Vincent's Hospital, where it was found that hls;arm had been broken, his shoulder dislocted ami his eyes burned by the strong llrrj water. It was also thought he had suffered severe Internal Injuries. Last night he had Improved but little, and it was feard his Injuries miht prove fatal before morning. N' one offered n plausible excuse for the collapse of the structure. A number of men whe; had been engaged in the construction vlew.ed the wreck, but would not talk. The encrhious weight of one of the tanks which fell ngalnst the side of the power building shifted the wall about six Inches on its foundation. The miraculous escape of I.an-casu-r was the talk among all who viewed the wreck during the clay. The structure Is I i a heap between the power house and a bulMing fronting on Maryland street, and to rtne looking upon It It seems impossible thai a man could fall with the tanks from the op and come out alive. The only ex-plan-ition offered for Iancaster's escape is that he was near the top and was in some manner protected by one of the smaller tanKtt which did not break. A Y. M. I. CLASS.

Edward Urown. pastor of the .--Home Iresbyterian Church, of North Indianapolis, delivered a sermon yesterday mondng on "Importance of the Spiritual." 3lis,'ext wan Matthew tv. 4: "Man shall rot Jve by bread alone, hut by every word thatyroceedeth out of the mouth of God." In rrt he said: "Ihad a conversation .the other day witlKa man who pointed out the fact that few' people attend church services. He estimated that in five churches of our suburban l""1 Sabbath morning there wcie thrZ hundred people. Estimating the population at ;.! this would be about one rnn out of every two families.

My text whs uttered by Jesus at the b ginning of his ministry, it was his first reply to the teniptntion of Satan. There is an Implication in the tPXt. if not a distinct declaration, that man has a spiritual or soul-life which natural food cannot satisfy; that there in him that which thinks and feels and wills, which is his real self, his v&o, his soul. "In thinking of man our minds center upon the intellectual part of him. the mind. Cod has provided for the mind of man by the world of nature. Cod has also fed the intellectual man by the world which the mind presents to him. The second element in the universal man whose wants are nr,et by Cod is the errfotional element, the one which marks man a being of heart and feeling. The heart of man is appealed to through the material creation; here ate evidences of Cod's divine power and goodnss. Cod appeals to the neart of man through his moral world, the world of spirit. Cod, the great spirit, has moral perfections, goodness. Justice, holiness, truth, and He would have His creature fall in love with Him and His character. The outstanding quality and the character of ! Cod Is love. It is the quality which adorns I man. Love is stronger than death. Love is the greatest miracle in the world. Love in Cod Is more than love in man. "The third element in the soul of man for which Cod has made provision Is the; volitional element, the power of willing, of choosing, of purposing. Cod has endowed man with the Cod-like power of will. He appeals to the ri?ht use of that will by every kind of motive. "The important things to notice are the inferences that How logically from this Matement of Jesus. r"irt. if you cannot be spiritually alive without Cod and His truth, then you must use the means of grace, the public service, the prayer meeting, the Sabbath school, the Kndeavor meeting, any meeting in which you may come face to face with (Jod and His truth. In the light of this utterance of Jesus does not the work of the church and the ministry of the word take on an Interest supreme and all Important? "A second Inference from Jesus utterance Is this one: If men must get life by coming Into touch with Cod and His truth, then it is your duty and mine to bring them where they may come into touch with Cod and His saving gospel. You are to invite your neighbor and friend to Cod's house, you are to urge and constrain them to hear the gospel, you are to Invite them prayerfully and to pray that the minister of Christ may utter some word which will be a sword or a salve, but leading men to the feet of Jesus In faJth und penitence and love." CELEBRATION OF TURNTAG ALL KINDS OF ATIILKTIC SPOIITS AT t him: It PARK. Severn I Sofletlen from Out of the City One Mmi Injured In JumpplnK Irle Winners. The annual turntag (day of athletics).

During the afternoon the athletic events were held. and while they were In progress there was amusement for the hundrds who could not get near enough to see the gymnastic sports. There were about 1,5X people at the park In the afternoon, and only one accident to rruir the pleasure of the crowd During the Held events (Jus Schmidt, of the Cincinnati team, suffered a fracture of his right leg in making the hop, skip and Jump. When the hone broke It sounded like the report of a revolver. He was sent to the Deaconess Hospital. Aside from the athletic events the refreshment pavilion attracted the greatest crowd. The vaulting horse, horizontal bar and parallel bars were arranged east of the pavilion, and around these the spectators crowded, anxious to see the display of brawn and muscle of the athletes from the various societies. The societies that took part In the exercises were the Cincinnati Turngemeinde, North Cincinnati Turnver ein.

TRAILED BY SLEUTHS
MESSUs. TAYLOR AMI FIM.KV AOYi:i n KENTl CKIANS. Tht Suggestion Mnde that the Latter He Arrested on n ('haree nf Loitering. CALL TOR LOCAL DETECTIVES I PEIUVI ENDEVr Ql lCLF.Y SAYS RE II EST WAS REFUSED. Inn of lb em. However. Seen nt Vnrionw Point Mr. (ioeliel Registered t Uder Assnined 'nine. The peculiar tactics adopted by Messrs. Williams and Goebel, who are in the city on the matter of the requisitions for exGovernor Taylor and Charles Finley, have aroused a great deal of unfavorable comment. It became known yesterday that when these gentlemen were before Governor Durbin Saturday to present the requisitions they informed the Governor that they had visited the Indianapolis police station and secured a detail of two local detectives to watch Messrs. Taylor and Finley. The fact that two members of the local detective force were seen at one time in the close vicinity of the Statehouse and at another time near the postoffice corner, apparently keeping a watch on the Law building, in which ex-Governor Taylor has a law oflVe, tended strongly to corroborate the statement made to Governor Durbin. Superintendent of Police Qulgley was asked last night for the second time by the Journal If he had detailed detectives to look after Taylor and Finley. "I have not. up to this time," he said. It was 10:30 o'clock when Mr. Qulgley made this declaration. He was told of the statement made by Williams and Goebel to Governor Durbin Saturday. "Mr. Williams did call on me last (Saturday) night," Mr. Qulgley then admitted, "and asked me to detail detectives for that work, but I told him I would take no action in the matter until Governor Durbin had honored the requisitions. I was told that Williams came to my office in the police station this morning when I was out. but I have not seen him to-day at all." Mr. Qulgley explained that Detectives Holtz and Morgan, who were seen near the postofiVe corner Saturday, were engaged in another matter entirely, but declined to divulge what it was. Another unpleasant fact concerning the Kentucklans is that Mr. Goebel registered :t the Spencer House under an assumed name. This was learned at the hotel yesterday. Mr. Goebel was in and out of the hotel all day, and last evening took supper there. He declined to discuss the matter of the requisitions. WILLIAMS WOULDN'T TALK. Town Marshal Williams, of Frankfort, Ky., was seen at the Spencer last night and asked If he had anything to say about the case. "There Is nothing for me to say," he replied. "It is up to Governor Durbin now to say whether Mr. Taylor and Mr. Finley shall go back to Kentucky with us. I have not the slightest idea what the Governor's decision will be." The employment of detectives from an other place to shadow Governor Taylor to and from his office and home ever since Sept. 17 has also aroused considerable adverse comment. A man high in official circles gave vent to his opinion on this matter yesterday in strong terms. "I have known that detectives were watching Governor Taylor for some time." he said, "and I have told him that he ouRht to have the fellows arrested. What right have they to be loaflnir around the streets of this city keeping watcfi on Mr. Taylor? i ney could undoubtedly be arrested on suspicion and held as vagrants, or, if concealed weapons were found on them, they could be fined the limit of the law, $3)0, and I imagine they would lie in jail until they served every dollar of It out. I don't think anybody around here would go on their bonds. If I am not badly mistaken some such 'action will be taken unless those skunks get out of here and let Governor Taylor alone. Attorney General Taylor had little on portunity to rest yesterday, notwithstand ing tne day was Sunday. v hat with the big Keith murder case coming on for oral argument Wednesday and the Taylor and Finley requisition matter to Investigate, the State's chief law officer was kept busy at work In his office in the Capitol until midnight. He was asked If he intended to prepare a formal opinion to be submitted to Governor Durbin this morning. "I am not exactly certain what the Governor wants me to explain to him," Mr Taylor replied, "and so 1 have prepared myself to answer anything he may ask. The attorney general has for some time had in his possession copies of the tran scripts In the Powers, Youtsey and Howard cases, and these he has gone carefully over so that he Is thoroughly acquainted with the nature of the trials held thus far in Kentucky growing out of the Goebel mur der. Xot One of Them. J. R. Griffin, a traveling man, who occu pied with Marshal Williams, of Frankfort. Room 18 at the Spencer House Saturday and yesterday, did not relish the notoriety he received In local newspapers in connec tion with the Taylor and Finley requlsi tions. "I had no more to do with that matter than President Roosevelt." he said to a reporter yesterday. "The way I was dragged Into lt. I suppose, was because I occupied one of the two beds in Room IS. and when Mr. Williams arrived Fric'ay night they had no other place to put him and assigned him to my room. I have not been near the Statehouse, of course, and I wish to have myself set right In the mat ter." MILK ADULTERATION. A imt Ingredient Come to otlce of Dr. Ilurty. "There Is a new milk adulterant on the market," said J. N. Hurty, secretary of the State Roard of Health, yesterday, "and, oddly enough. I was furnished with a sample bottle of It several days ago by a milkman, who asked me to analyze it. lie is certainly an honest fellow. He re marked when he handed me the bottle. 'Doctor, here is some stuff that a man wants to sell me, and he says that with It I can stretch my milk. "I did not know what the milk dealer meant by the word 'stretch used In that connection," continued the secretary, "mi til I learned the use of the adulterant. The .stuff is a clear syrupy liquid and its name? is viscogen. An analysis of It shows that It is simply glucose containing a large quan tity of lime and some cane sugar. "With this adulterant a man can take half milk that is, milk from which half the cream has been separated and add 1 per cent, of the adulterant and then 2." per cent, of water and the specific gravity of whole or natural milk will be about maint. lined. The viscogen reac ts to a slight de uree upon the casein and fat of the milk. thickening it and imparting a rich appearance. This appearance of richness is alto gether deceptive. since the nourishing properties or the milk are Interfered with. 1 cannot say that there Is anything injur! ous in this adulterant, but at long range would think that it would probably be lound deleterious. At any rate, milk that has been mixed with it is not pure milk nor does It have the nourishing properties of pure milk, and Is. therefore, n dishonest article of food, r or the very reason that the stuff Is not especially deleterious am gives milk a fine appearance, it Is danger ous, and the sale of it should be pre vented." Projxres flu Ii Oltic-er. The Progress Club met at its clubrooms yesterday afternoon and elected the follow ing officers: Thomas O'Leary. president:
William Guedel, vice president; G. Haller,

Mnttle Jonen find Snllle Tucker. Roth Colored, Have Street Fight. A cutting affray on East Wabash street yesterday evening caused considerable excitement along that street. Mattle Jones. who has a lengthy police record, and Sallle Tucker, alu well known to the police, were the participants. Both are colored. They had been driving, and upon their return luarreled. The Jones woman drew from her dress a dirk knife, with which she stabbed the Tucker, woman on the fore head. She finished her work by slashing the othr woman twice across the arm and once aorosj the abdomen. The Tucker woman was carried into her home at 4-2 Wabash street and there attended by Dr. Hicks, of the City Dispensary, who said the wounds were of a serious nature. The police could not lind the Jones woman when they arrived. ATTACKED IN A BRIDGE OSCAR 1IENIXER STARRED IIY AX I. KNOWN MAX. He Wns DrUIng with Ills DntiKhter nt the Time II ii k Rles Collided In Covered Rridge. Oscar Henninger, living at 2M2 West Tenth street, was attacked last evening in an unusual manner and that nearly resulted fatally. He had been driving in the country with his married daughter and her children. Upon their return home they were obliged to pass through the covered bridge on Tenth street, across Rig Eagle creek, about 7:) o'clock. It was rather dark, and when near the middle of the tunnel a collision between Henninger's surrey and a oneseated buggy going in the opposite direction occurred. Henninger said something to the two men in the other rig about keeping well to the right of the bridge, and had mo more than finished his remark when he was struck on the side of the head with a knife or other sharp instrument. The blood spurted from the wound, which was below the ear. A small artery had leen cut. Henninger's daughter knew noth ing of what had happened until she felt the blood which covered her dress. She; then screamed lustily. The man who had Inflicted the blow turned, and hurriedly Jumping into his rig drove rapidly west. The only word spoken by the man was to the effect that he had "some respect for .women." The object of the attack was not known. It was thought to have been because the man, who evidently had been drinking, became angry on account of the collision, while others thought the object was robbery and that the men became frightened when the daughter's voice was heard. Henninger drove rapidly into Haughville and stopped at Dr. Cain's office, where the wound was dressed. Dr. Cain said that had the knife struck a half inch lower the large artery of the neck would have been cut. Henninger was very weak from loss of blood when he arrived at the doctor's office, and the clothing of Henninger's daughter and her children was soaked with blood. The man who assaulted Henninger was said to have been a large man. heavy set, dark complexion, with dark, shaggy mustache and wearing dark clothes and a soft hat. The other man did not get out of the buggy and could not be described. The injury is not dangerous. THE K. OF P. GRAND LODGE IT WILL RE IX SESSION HERE TO310RROW AM) WEDNESDAY.

She had been afflicted with the disease for some time, but yesterday morning felt worse than usual. She started for the kitchen and fell to the fioor. She managed to get up and into her bedroom, but died before reaching her bed.
ONE WEEK OF WORK
THE CITY CAMPAH.X 1 FAST DRAW ING TO A CLOSE. I Util Next Tuesday tin Manager of Roth I'nrties Will Have Their Hands Full. REPUBLICANS ARE CONFIDENT THEY THINK THERE IS NO DOT BT NOW OF SI CCESS. YlKilnnee That lln ( hnracirrUed the Cniitpnlgn Will Not, However, He Relaxed. One week from to-morrow night the citizens of Indianapolis will have chosen a new mayor. The indications are that Charles A. Bookwalter, the Republican nominee, will be Mr. Taggarfs successor. Republican managers assert with conlielene that Mr. Bookwalter's election is assured, and Democrats not connected with the machine concede it. It also follows that if Mr. Bookwalter receives the majority of the ballots that the entire Republican city ticket will be elected with him, for during the entire campaign the efforts of the Democratic machine have been employed almost wholly in the interest of Charles Maguire, Democratic nominee for mayor. One week ago a number of Republican managers declared that if the election could be held at that time the Republican ticket would be elected by a majority ranging from 2&ß) to 4,000. They then asserted that all that was necessary for them to do was to hold what they had and success would be certain. During the past week particular attention has been devoted by the Republicans to the strengthening of their organization, and it Is claimed by them that this work has been so well accomplished that instead of losing anything during the past week each day has added an element of strength to what was already the best and strongest organization the Republicans ever had In a city campaign. AFTER A BIO VOTE. With this splendid organization the Republicans believe that they will be enabled to get out almost their entire vote and that means a Republican majority in this city of about 3.000. Again the Republicans are less hampered by disaffection in their own party this year than ever before. Many Republicans who were inclined to be cold towards their own candidates early in the campaign have been made to see the error of their way and are now working enthusiastically for the whole ticket. Another inestimable advantage to the Republicans in the present campaign has been the fact that the past two. Democratic administrations has furnished them with plenty of material to go on the stump and talk about, whereas the Democratic orators have been without powder for their guns or else were forced on the stump in a vain endeavor to defend themselves from the embarrassing but truthful charges which the Republicans have heaped upon them. It has been a campaign in which the political arguments have been entirely In the hands of one party. The Democrats have not only been handicapped in this way, but owing to the fact that the Republicans have a majority In the city, they have been forced not only into a position where they neglect their own organization, but have used such disreputable means In trying to capture a certain element of the Republican vote that they have driven hundreds of voters, disgusted with their methods. Into the Republican ranks. In the South Bide wards, where Mayor Taggart has sought to win votes during the past week with his old-time methods of free beer and carousal, there are hundreds of Democrats this year who will not support the ticket. The treatment received by William F. Moore at the hands of the city committee when he was seeking the nominatfon has left sore spots on the South Side which the present Democratic machine will never be able to heal. A NATURAL DEATH. In the North Side wards, where Mayor Taggart obtained many Republican votes two years ago, the disaffection has died a natural death. Especially is this true In the Second ward, and many who have promised to vote for Mr. Bookwalter this year, but have otherwise remained indifferent, will now take off their coats and go to work In tamest for the whole Republican ticket because of the action of the Democratic attorneys in this city in forming an organization on Saturday with the ultimate aim in view of ousting Vinson Carter, John L. McMatter and James M. Leathers, all of whom are dear to the hearts of the Republicans of the Second ward, from the Judiciary of Marlon county. Without question the colored voters are more solidly in line with the Republican party this year than ever before. It seems that the greater the efforts the Democrats have exerted to disaffect them the more closely affiliated they have become with their own party. Despite the signs of the times, however, the Democratic managers refuse to concede Mr. Bookwalter's election. They stoutly assert that Maguire will be elected by a good big majority. They can offer no reasons for their assertions, however, and it is doubtful if their declarations are made in good faith. Mr. Maguire yesterday expressed the greatest confidence In his election, saying that he expected to have at least 2,0X) majority when the ballots were counted. Mr. Bookwalter has been confident of success since the date of his nomination, and last night he said, with a smile on his face, that as yet he could see no reason for changing his opinion. DEMOCRATIC FREE BEER. Many Saloons Open and the Faithful Regarded. Judging from the amount of free beer which was given away in this city yesterday in the interest of the Democratic candidate for mayor it is apparent that the Democratic managers have come to the conclusion that they have no time to waste in a respectful observance of the Sabbath day. The saloons were wide open in nearly every ward in the city and beer could be had for the asking, it being necessary. however, for all applicants to öeclare them selves In favor of the election of Maguire and the rest of the Democratic ticket. Many of the saloons were turned into places of amusement, where the crowds. after drinking, were entertained with rabid political speeches. CASE OF DRUNKEN NEGRO. Several Person Who Thonght He Wan Deatl .Missed Church Service. Probably a dozen couples missed church because of an incident at Meridian and Michigan streets last evening. A colored man lay on the sidewalk. His position was such as would be assumed by a man sitting on the curb and falling backward. Atten tion was first called to him by a young woman on her way to church, who in the darkness uttered a little scream as she nearly stepped upon him. Her escort stopped and looked down. He thought the colored man was dead. His eyes were closed and mere was no perceptible breath ing. Within five minutes after the first couple stopped there were about twenty more there. Men nnl women, white and colored, stood about crowding eaeh other to c-atch a glimpse of the prostrate man. No one knew him. A few thought they had seen him somewhere. The city ambulance was called. During the wait a newspaper reporter passed. The crowd attracted him. He stood for a moment looking about to see If there was any one who knew anything about the case. Not finding the person lie looked for. he reached into his pocket, got a match, struck it and held It to the man's face. A dozen persons nearly fell over him in their endeavor to see. The reporter felt the man's pulse and then passed on, saying to a young woman with

him. "Drunk. I think." There were women and men in the crowd who probably never before sympathized with a helpless negro. One of these answered the remark of the reporter with "shameful." The ambulance irrived. the negro was with dimculty taken from the crowd after nearly every person had said, "What's the matter, doetor?" A few asked the doctor, "How'd It happen?" I he doctor said the pupils of the mans eyes were contracted! as in morphine poi soning. A murmur ran about the crowd. The man was taken to the City Dispensary and discharged a few moments later as "a plain case of dead drunk." his farewell sermon j lti:. CII-tltl.KS C. I, ASHY WILL soon liiavi: FOIl Tin: i:st. He fail es I p the Pastorate of the Central-A venue Church' An HveninK Service. The Kev. C. C. Lasby preached his last sermon yesterday at the Central-avenue M. K. Church to a congregation that filled the house. Following is a portion of his sermon: "The theme of the preacher is divinely assigned. He is not to debate worldly problems nor discuss public secular affairs except as they are directly related to his particular message. 'Preach the Word' is ever ringing in his ears the word of Scripture written by inspiration of holy men the word that was in the beginning with God and was Ciod. Paul understood the purpose of the ministry and gloriously exemplified it In his magnificent career. He was a remarkable man. wholly absorbed in his mission. Chafing seas, snowclod mountains and scented orange groves left not the faintest impress on his page. This one thing I do' was his motto. He braved danger on every hand for Christ. We hear him exclaim. 'God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Iord Jesus Christ. The cross was to him that for which the patriarchs longed and of which the prophets spake and for which the psalmist prayed. It was the exponent of righteousness and the deliverance of a sin-bound race the mystery of all to be recognized. No plummet ever fathomed its depth, nor telescope discovered its extent. It was and still remains the stupendous mystery of the universe. Methlnks I see the dawn of creation when God sowed the stellar spaces with burning suns and blazing stars as a child might strew a floor with marbles. Glad was that hour when the morning stars sang together and the sons of God shouted aloud for Joy. Hut reverently be it spoken, that was an easy task a word and worlds were buiided. "Hut when redemption muVt be wrought God must forsake Ills throne; must come to earth in human form, must thirst by the wayside and sleep on the bare mountain side, drenched with the cold dews of the night. He must suffer continually, be spat upon, be scourged, be hanged upon the cross. The universe which He created must shudder in the hour of His agony. The sun closes its eyes upon the tragic scene, the earth trembles and quakes; the tombs cast out their dead in fright; and angels fly back with heavy hearts. " 'My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?' measures the depth of loneliness and agony suffed by the redeemed. The cross, therefore, is the new revelation of God's love and merej-, and upon it righteousness and truth meet together; justice and mercy kiss each other. The cross is the one living force operating upon humanity. The vine in the garden, unsupported, will trail along the ground and produce neither flowers nor fruit. Give it support and it will climb living in the sunlight and bear flowers and fruit. So was humanity groveling amid earth's scenes, trailing along earth's ways, until the cross was erected." The church was crowded at night with friends to pay their respects to the pastor. Every available seat in the auditorium and the gallery was taken when the opening number of the programme was given. The programme consisted of vocal numbers of unusual merit. Mr. Lasby, in a short address, spoke feelingly of the reception tendered him last night. He reviewed the work of the congregation in the five years he has been its pastor. He complimented the people for their energy during that time and for the help they had given him. After the conclusion of the musical programme Dr. Lasby stood at the rostrum and gave each of his parishioners a handshake as they filed out. Dnnlap'n Celebrated Hat At Seaton's Hat Store.
