In a few f(ic:;'!. the last man ha 1 hung hl scaling ladder on the sill of the venth-story window and climbed likelightning Into th- "room" above. Then began the work of rrcuc. The life lint- was thrown to the ground and alino.-t a foon as It struck a tinman ar-naril at the. win.i.iw bearing la hi arm a fellow-being, and I .-for' th sp' ctatnrs hat! time to gasp the two were sliding quickly down the rope. In rapid sucos.-ion four or five firemen made similar descents, ach "rescuing" a man from the structure. Many prominent citizens of Indianapolis witnessed the exhibition and declared it to be one of the strongest features of th'j carnival. Chief Halo and his mm are giving here the fame exhibition that they gave at the Crystal Palace In London and In the Parts Kiposition.
A feature of this year's carnival that Is being commented upon favorably is the abur.ilar.ee of space provided for shows an! xhlblts. There are more attractions In the present carnival and none is crowded or cramped. In order to keep sufficient space for the firemen to work freely, the carnival managers have ordered several shows to locate on Alabama and East streets. Bartholomew's educated horses are giving daily and nightly performances In a roomy tent opening on Washington from Hast street. A tent was going up at the intersection of Alabama with Washington street last night, but arrangements had not progressed fur enough to enable passer.-by to learn the nature of the show proposed to be given. Business mn of Indianapolis are rubbing their hands with glee over the excellent prospect for a big week's trade. All the streets in the downtown district were tilled with peoplo yesterday and It was noted that the stores were crowded throughout the day. Out-of-town people by the thousands are taking advantage of the low railroad rates to come to the capital and do their winter shopping, at th; same tirno having the best time of their lives with the carnival revellers. A touch of the picturesque was added to yesterday's great crowds by the presence In all parts of the carnival district of scores of Woodmen in their handsome uniforms of varying colors. Estimates of the number of Woodmen that were In the city ran from 3.0o9 to 3,00. The State officers of the order declared that by nightfall there would be no Uss than S.Ooo members from various parts of the State in the city. Tili: Kl.lICTUIC FOl'NTAIX. Beautiful Tree Inhibition Turned On for 1h I'lr-t Time. The electric fountain, which is one of the carnival's most pretentious free exhibitions, was turned on at S o'clock last night for the first time and scored a bis hit with the large crowds that witnessed the display. The fountain is an Ingenious arrangement by which slender spouting streams of water are tinged with delicately tinted light by vari-colored incandescents hidden from view. These streams are so directed that they form different figure of varying h ights. As the water resolved Itself into bowers, arches and gigantic vases, each giving forth the colors of the rainbow, the spectators testltied their appreciation by enthusiastic applause. Suddenly si comely maiden appeared at th top of the fountain, executing a picturesque skirt dance, surrounded by falling water. She disappeared as mysteriously as she came, and was replaced by another young women, who gave a series of poses. The aquatic vaudeville performance terminated with a series of colored pictures thrown upon a background form- d by a young woman with cloak held out at either side. This ended, the fountain went through a myriad f bewildering color changes, concluding with a gorgeous display of tireworks. The exhibition was repeated at H o'clock. The electric fountain will operate every night this week at S and 11 p. m. Arrmicil for Throwing Dirty Confetti. Walter Jameson, colored, of CIS "Willard street, and George Cloe, of Ö11 East North street, were arrested last night by patrolmen and charged with assault and battery because they gathered confetti from the street and threw it into the faces of others.

The Duke of Alba, one of the highest grandees of Spain, died from heart failure this afternoon at his apartments in the Holland Hou3e. The duke came to this country on Sept. 21 to witness the international yacht races as the guest of Sir Thomas Lipton. On the day of the last race he contracted a severe cold, which developed into u case of influenza. His condition improved greatly during the past few days, and up to within a few moments of his death he was entertaining a party of friends.

Ho was fourteen times a count, nine times a grandee of the lirst class and twelve times a marquis. His estate was the most extensive private property In Spain, and his palace at Madrid lor many years has been the center of social gayety. Much of hi- time has been spent, however, in London. The duke was well known in this country, where he has been a frequent visitor. He was a spectator of the America s cup races in 1W and spent the season of lwi at Newport. CHICAGO, Oct. 13. When informed of tho death of the Duke de Alba Sir Thomas Lipton was deeply affected. "I am overwhelmed at the news," he said.

BUFFETED II V FATE. Frnnkton Htislness Man Who Invented Feiiee-Mnklnpr Mnchlne. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRANKTON, Ind.. Oct. 15. J. D. Stoddard, who is lying in St. John's Hospital at Anderson, is a man with whom fate has dealt unkindly. Fifteen years ago he was a man of wealth and built the three-story block known as the Stoddard block, the most imposing structure In this city. He was also Interested in the manufacture of a lawn fence, and was one of the originators of the Hoosier wire fence, now extensively made in this city. Hut he was caught in the financial crash of 1S03. He was forced to sell his stock in the company, mortgaged his property, and finally traded for worthless Southern land in order to reserve anything. Since then he has spent every day and many wakeful nights in the building of a machine for making fence. In a little frame building on the outskirts of the city he eats, sleeps, lives in solitude, with no company save his Ideal machine. Every cent above his meager living goes Into this machine, and he has been thus living for ten years, happy in his dreams of a return of prosperity. He live? on the small pittance pent by ids son, who is in the West, and he oftentimes goes hungry in order to use the money for a wheel or somrihing that will add to the completeness of his pet machine. For months he has had the machine in a state of completeness, and lie has scoured this and neighboring cities for capitalists that will beli him out. and many persons have visited him in his shanty and encouraged him in tho progress of the machine, but no ene would take hold of it without a practical demonstration. This he has been unable to give, owing to a lack of power to run the machine, and for weeks and months he has been making desperate efforts to secure a second-hand engine, and just before his sickness he had received an extra allowance from hi9 son and contracted for an engine. lie is about sixty years of age and aging fast, and It is doubtful if he ever enjoys in reality the dreams of t he past ten years. De ha? a wife, but they have not been living together for several years. - srcci:sis as a han;.manv Capt. PlekerliiK Writes from Masbate About un Indiana Soldier. Frtcla! to the Indianapolis Journal.
