31any Politician from thnt Locality Are Here fir the IHg Jlcctln. There Is a considerable gathering of Eleventh district Tit publicans in the city to attend the love feast. Judge Hiram Brownbe. of Marion, is here, and a number of other Grant county politicians. There are numerous candidates for Congress in the Eleventh district against Major George W. Steele, and some of the politicians are wondering whether or not Fred Landis. of Logan port, is going to be in the race. Mr. Landis had not appeared at a late hour last night, but is expected to be present at the meetings to-day. It seems to be understood umonf the Eleventh district men that Adam Beck, of Huntington, will represent the district on the State committee In place of Warren Bigler. James F. Stutesm;m. the handsome I'tru statesman, was in the crowd yesterday afternoon, but displayed his usual modesty, and was not sayins a great deal. He is likely to be in the Legislature again, however, and. if he is, will be a stanrh supporter of his friend, Henry Marshall, for the speakership in the event, of course, that Mr. Marshall is returned to the General Assembly. Warren G. Sayre. another of the Eleventh dl3trict men, was In the crowd yesterday evening, ard Carey Cowglll. who is an avowed candidate for Congrtss in the Eleventh, is here fron Wabash. The Marlon men are naturally stanch friends of George W. Steele. Judge Brownlec declared vesterday that Major Steele will be re-nominated. "We feel that Major Steele has been for us a first-class Congressman," said Judge Brownlee. "He has maintained himself and he occupies an Important place in Congress and keeps it. We regard him as one of the most etlicient members when anything is to be done. From a district. Democratic at the start, he has done much to make It a Republican district with 5,0'U or majority. In our county we wrc electing Democrats wifen he began and now every man on the county ticket has a Republican majority of 3.S". We feel that he has been a good man for the politics of the district ami for the politics of our county. He will go into thi tlirht with a solid delegation irom Grant county that will stay with j him until the end. and we think his nom lnatlon is certain." A COINCIDENCE RECALLED. Marco It. Sulir Teil nf McKinley nt Garfield Memorial Service. Marcus R. Sulzer, of Madison, one of the best-known Republicans In Indiana, who has probably made as many addresses for the Republican party as any man in the State, Is In the city attending the love feast. Talking to a Journal reporter at the Columbia Club last night he said: "In looking over some of the books In my library 1 noticed a peculiar coincidence connected with the death of Iresident McKinley. The memorial ceremonies in memory of James A. Garfield took place in the hall of the Douse of Representatives in February, James G. Blaine, who had been Garfield's secretary of state, was the orator of the ftccaslon. The presiding officer was David Davis, president of the Senate. Davis had been a judge of the United St;113. Court, but In IS... by a combination of Greenbackera and Democrats, had been elected senator from Illinois, and. had Arthur died. would have become President. On that account the succession was changed from the president pro tern, of the Senate to the Cabinet, so that in case the President and Vice President died their party would still tontinue In power. But I am digressing. What I started out to tell you was that In that great memorial meeting, with over 3oo members of Congrtss present, the writer of the article, written long before anyone supposed McKinley would become President, mentions the fact that McKinley was Bitting In front of the speaker (Blaine.) At the conclusion of Blaine's speech. In which he eulogized Garfield and excoriated hi assassin In a manner that would do for the McKinley memorial. Mr. McKinley arose and moved that the speech be procured from Mr. Blaine for preservation, and that it be copied upon the records of Congress. He then moved as a further mark of respect that the House adjourn out of respect for the occasion, all of which was done." COLtMHIA CI.L'irs SMOKER.

liant row of footlights. It furnished the i setting for a vaudeville show that caused three hours of enjoyment. Even the neces- ; sarlly long waits between some of the num- J bers did not grow tiresome with a good i orchestra dispensing catchy rag-time. Through the courtesy of Manager Hronson, j

of the Grand Opera House, and Manager Zimmerman, of the Empire Theater, the entertainment committee was able to present skilled entertainers. Miss Mclntyre, Miss Walters. Miss Haynes and James Byrnes came from the show at the Grand, and Miss Dehler and Harry Joelson from the Empire. Manager Dronson sent his orchestra to play accompaniments for Miss Walters and Miss Mclntyre. Besides these good things the committee had secured several clever Indianapolis boys. There wasn't a dull moment in the programme. J. F. Karnatz, an Indianapolis boy who has mi.ie a reputation as a sleight-of-hand performer, did some card "stunts" that caused the onlookers to stare. "Try those," he said, "when vou aren't working." J. Russell Powell sang first "Sail Ho," and, responding to a thunderous encore, gave a rattling coon song. "I Got Mine." Still they would not let him go and he came back and sang "He Ain't No Relation of Mine" and "Asleep in the Deep." Harry Dorter, in a Hebrew makeup, did some funny character work and warbled a few Warneld songs. Porter's best work was in reciting Riley's "When the Folks Got Rack." As an encore he Imitated a little chap in a school recitation stuttering over "The Goblins Will Git You if You Don't Watch Out." Miss Walters sang and whistled "My Whippoorwill." When she came back the building quivered with applause that followed "Lam" lam' lam," and "My LadyHottentot." Miss Rehler's appearance early In the programme was tle signal for cheering. She smiled her thanks and then gave as good as she received in some bright songs and clever talk. With her from the Empire was Harry Joelson, with a melodious voice. Another youngster, whose soprano was equally pleasing as Joelson's baritone, was James Byrnes, from the Grand. Gertrude Haynes, of the "Choir Celestial" company, an Indiana girl, played his accompaniments. Miss Mclntyre, her stories and her coon songs closed the programme, with spirit and dash. When she sang "Aint Dat a Shame" It seemed as if every man in the room had four hands to bring together and at least tight feet with which to bang the floor. Some of the best known Republicans in the State were present at the smoker. Governor Durbin occupied a seat In the llrst row and bruised his hands clapping. Lieutenant Governor Gilbert was also present. Before and after the vaudeville show there were pleasant meetings, heart-to-heart talks and discussions ranging from the postmastership of Way Back Corners to the probability of a reduction of the tariff on sugar. Everybody was there to have a good time and the Columbia Club gave it to him. NINTH DISTRICT 31 EN". It Send n Large Representation to the Love l'enst. The Ninth district, the one represented In Congress by Charles B. Landis, is here In force to attend the love feast. Among those in the city are Jacob Joel, of Crawfordsville, candidate for state treasurer; Edward E. Ncal, of Noblesville, candidate for clerk of the Supreme Court; David E. Sherrick, candidate for auditor of state; X. M. Nye, postmaster at Crawfordsvllle; Frank C. McCalip, of Crawfordsvllle; John R. Bonnell, collector of revenue for the Terre Haute district; Lcroy B. Nash and M. W. Pershing, of Tipton. The fact developed last night that Montgomery county is to furnish a candidate for the nomination for Joint representative for the counties of Montgomery, Boone, Hamilton and Madison. This collection of counties Is sometimes alluded to as the "Shoestring district." Samuel R. Artman. of Lebanon, represented these counties in the last Legislature, but it is the understanding now that Mr. Artman will not be a candidate next year. Since it has been announced that he will not be In the race Lewis W. Otto, an active young Republican of Crawfordsvllle, is being talked of. Mr. Otto made the race for joint senator from the counties of Montgomery and Putnam against William II. Johnson, who defeated him. The Crawfordsvllle man, however, ran ahead of his ticket, it is said. He holds the office of great sachem of the Red Men of the State and is prominent in the organization of Modern Woodmen. Among the Ninth district delegation at the Denison last night was Col. George W. Boyd, of Covington, Fountain county. Mr. Boyd comes from what used to be known as a hotbed of Democracy. He was the first Republican sheriff elected in Fountain county. This was in 1ST0, and he was reelected two years later. Mr. Boyd is an ardent supporter of Representative Landis. "Landis," he said, "will carry our county. He will get every delegate In the county." Mr. Boyd says that Fred Sims, of Frankfort, will receive the support of Fountain county for district committeeman. In connection with the Ninth district chairmanship it has been said that Mr. Johns, of Tipton, would probably be a candidate against Mr. Sims. It was announced last night, however, that Mr. Johns had not definitely determined to become a candidate. I. S. Baldwin, of Noblesville, who has announced his candidacy for Congress against Mr. Landis, Is here with a number of his supporters. . ZAXZII1AU CONSI L TO RESIGN. Chnrlen R. Roger Announce! thnt He AVID ot Return to Africa. A tall, square-jawed young man, with a black mustache 'and a good-looking open countenance sauntered about the lower lobby of the Denison yesterday afternoon shaking hands with numerous acquaintances and bestowing a smile and a nod here and there. The tall yountr man was Charles B. Rogers, United States consul to Zanzibar. Mr. Rogers comes from Shoals, nt present one of the most nourishing of the smaller towns of the Second district. Rogers succeeded Robert K. Mansfield as consul to Zanzibar and Is now at home on a leave of absence. He will not return to Zanzibar, however, and this fact was made public yesterday by his own lips. Although he has for years been a prominent figure in the politics of his district he is going into it stronger than ever now, and will be a candidate for joint senator from the counties of Martin, Iawrence and Orange. His resignation will be forwarded to the government in due time. "My reason for not returning to Zanzibar," said Mr. Rogers yesterday, "is because of the unpleasant and even dangerous condition of the climate." Mr. Rogers's friends through the senatorial district suggested his candidacy some time ago, and it seems to be meeting with general approval. Thomas J. Druoks, of Red ford, represented this district In the Senate last year. Tdartin county until was regarded as one of the Democratic strongholds of the Second Congressional district. In that year Mr. Rogers engineered the campaign in that county ami his friends are pointing to the fact that it went Republican as to nil the other otliees except one, and the candidate for thi.s office was defeated by nly five majority. The county has been chanced from the Democratic column to the Republican column and bids fair to remain there, the Republicans think. In the campaign of Vsn) Mr. Rogers was county chairman. He was appointed consul to Zanzibar early this year. It Is recalled that Rogers is the second Second district man who has tried the climate of Zanzibar. John C. Rilhelmor. of Washington, tried it and was succeeded by Robert IC. Mansfield. FIFTH DISTRICT I'OLITICJ. Representative llollitluy ThinkM He Will lit Nominated Again. Representative E. S. Holliday, of the Fifth district, who is serving his first term in Congress, Is at the Denison. He uid last ninht that he liked his work in Washington very well and felt that for a new man he had done very well in the matter of committee assignments. Mr. Holliday feels that he Is the logical candidate for rei nomination in his district. He says that had he any doubt of receiving the nomination for a second term in Coneress he would probab'y not have gone Into it. He says he understands that Howard Maxwell, of Parke county, will not be a candidate unless James S. Eurcus, of Terre Haute, is in tlu race again. Mr. Darcus. who was here last night, paid that he had not yet made a declaration as to his political plans. Mr. Maxwell, with several of his friends Is also here. One of hi friends Haid lat night that it was the feeling that Mr. Maxwell would not be u candidate unless there wan fome further opposition to Mr. Holliday. Mr. Parens is a very busy man the-e Uv. He is occupied with his law practice

at Terre Haute in addition to looking after his interests in the Tribune of that city and Success, an Eastern publication. A

Terre Haute paper announced yesterday j that Mr. Barcua had sold his interest in i Success. "There is absolutely no truth in this statement." he said last night.

Va., a retired army officer, is here to mingle with his old friends and to take part in the Republican love feast.

De Horrity, a prominent business man, banker and manufacturer of Elwood, has left the Democracy and joined the Republican party. Mr. De Horrity had been a Democrat all his life, and his ancestors were Democrats. Within the last few weeks he has proclaimed himself a Republican to the great delight of a number of his stanchest friends who are Republicans, and who welcome him into the party. One of his friends said last night that Mr. De Horrity expected to attend the love feast, but on account of sickness at home would probably be detained there. JONES NOT A CANDIDATE. He Emphatically Denies Stories Printed in Two fWNimpern. A morning newspaper and an afternoon publication yesterday contained the announcement that Frank L. Jones, superintendent of public instruction, would be a candidate for re-nominatlon.

Two years ago he was solicited to become a candidate for representative, but declined to go into the race. His friends say that he nfused to le a candidate because he felt that his candi dacy would confuse the situation as It then stood, and because he wis still ambitious to be in the Senate. "I think it can be safely said that Lyons will be the next senator from Grant county," said one of his friends last night. Dr. II. C. Hohhn, of Salem. One of the men who took an active Interest In the hotel lobbies yesterday was Dr. H. C. Hobbs. postmaster at Salem.

Dec. 3).-Two men are missing, one badly injured, one engine and four cars are at the foot of an embankment, two other cars are wrecked and a hundred feet of track are torn up as the result of the collision with a heavy rock of a west-bound train on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at tunnel No. 3 near Long Run at ti:ä3 o'clock this morning. The engine struck the rock, which had rolled down from the hill, just as the train came odt of the tunnel. The two missing men are Fireman A. R. Hite and Brakeman E. B. Putnam, both of Grafton. They are probably dead beneath the wreck. Engineer Hope Goudy, of Grafton, was so seriously injured he will probably not recover. Heavy rains loosened the rock. Hut Four FutalltleM. LYNCHBURG, Va., Dec. 30. Developments so far concerning the WTeck last night at Reusens Jo not disclose any fatalities in addition to the four already reported. Machinist Baker, of Clifton Forge, who was unaccounted for last night, turned up all right to-day. Some of those who have been to the scene of the wreck insist that some passengers were lost, but so far as can be learned all who were known to have been on the train have been accounted for. That others could have been drowned is possible, but there is no clew to who they are, if anybody. The high water has -retarded the cleaning of the track, which will probably take all day to-morrow. Gravel Train Wreck Victims. EL PASO, Tex., Dec. 30. Two men were killed and three seriously injured in a gravel train wreck on the El Paso & Northeastern Railroad, one mile from here to-day.

Fragments of Paper Published In Rome During Nero's Time. Rome Letter In Chicago Record-Herald. An interesting study has been published in one of. the local reviews on journalism In ancient Rome. The periodical press dates from the times of Cicero and Julius Caesar, when news sheets Acta Diurna Urbis (dally city events) were posted every morning in the forum and copied and sold in the city and the provinces. They were dry chronicles of the events of the day a paltry streamlet when compared with the mighty rivers of our days containing no leading articles, no learned polemics, no foreign correspondence, but a summary of some important debate in the Senate, reports of law courts, descriptions of gladiatorial fights, accounts of portents, religious festivals and crimes. These "Acta" were collected and placed in some office or public library, and must have formed an Interesting series from the last days of the republic down to the reign of Constantine, when the seat of government and possibly the newspaper files were removed to Constantinople. The collection is now lost, but fragments have been preserved in the works of Taci.tus, Pliny, Suetonius and Dion. Interesting fragments, mostly of trivialities, which have glided down to us through the cycle of centuries throwing a glimmer, as of rushlights, over the greatest empire of antiquity as it worked and lived. In a news sheet of April 11, A. TT. C, 74S (B. C. 5), it was recorded that C. Crispinus, a plebeian from Fiesole. came to Rome with seven sons, two daughters and thirty-five grandchildren to offer a sacrifice to the Capltoline Jove, and that when the corpse of Felix the Charioteer was placed In the funeral pile a devoted friend rushed on the burning pyre and was cremated with him. Other sheets announced that sentence had been passed by Tltlanus upon those butchers who notoriously sold meat not inspected by the authorities ami that the fines were immediately paid and would be devoted to the erection of a shrine; that an affray took place last night at "The Bear." a wineshop near the temple Janus, and that the landlord was dangerously wounded; that a violent thudrestorm burst yes terday over the city, the lightning striking the old oak tree in the Vella, and that Denniphon, the robber lately arrested by the legate Neava, was crucified early this morning. One of the newspapers of the reign of Nero told the story of the dog belonging to a slave executed by the Emperor's orders. The dog stood by the corpse and when food was given it pushed the food with its nose to the lips of the dead slave, and when the corpse was thrown into the Tiber the poor animal leaped into the river and tried to keep the body above water. Other "Acta" described the funeral of Ge-rmanlcus and the Indignant protests of the senator Thraseas when his cowardly colleagues applauded Nero's matricide. Those ancient Journalists also tried their hand at "canards." Thus it was gravelyannounced that a phoenix had been brought to Rome and exhibited in the Comitla and that during the trial of Milo for the murder of Clodius It rained baked bricks in several parts of the city. These startling items of news ore clumslJy conceived and evidently lack the skill displayed in our later days in the same line. They are on a par with some of the portents of the middle aes and show the gullibility of the Roman public in olden times. Arrival of Mr. and Mine. Due. NEW YORK, Dec. CO. Among thos? who arrived here to-day on La Champagne were M. md Mme. Due, who are or their way to join the French Opera Company in New Orleans.

Kansas City George Tebeau and Dale Gear. Omaha (by proxy) H. D. Quinn, of Milwaukee. , The most important business transacted consisted of the adoption of a constitution, the awarding of the various franchises officially to the respective magnates of the association and especially the disposition of the Omah franchise. After the morning session President Hiekey announced that the first important business brought up was the adoption of the constitution and by-law3. The president said the constitution does not differ materially from the constitution of the old Western League, only minor changes being neccessary to suit the purpobes of the new association. It was decided that uniform tickets should be used in all towns. The leases held by the magnates were turned over to President Hickey and the session adjourned. Mr. Hickey stated that he had three years leases on the grounds In seven cities in his possesion all of the cities except Omaha. At the afternoon session, it is understood, but not officially given out, that the Omaha franchise was awarded to Frank Bantle, of Omaha, an old ball player and practical business man. Milwaukee capitalists are backing Bantle, but he will have immediate charge of the teem. He appeared at the meeting this afternoon and made a strong plea to have Omaha included in the American Asociatlon circuit. The awarding of this franchise amounts to a declaration of war against the Western League in Omaha. W. A. Rourke owns the Western League franchise. President Hickey to-night gave out some correspondence which he had lately had with Rourke. Mr. Hickey on Dec. 27 wrote a letter to Mr. Rourke In which the latter Is reminded that he was awarded the Omaha American Association franchise at the Chicago meeting, but has failed to make good his guarantee. The letter Invites Mr. Rourke to attend the Kansas City meeting called to-day and be prepared either to put up tho guarantee or return his franchise to avoid legal difficulties. Mr. Rourke's response, dated Dec. 00, stated that he owns the Omaha franchise in the American Association and any attempt to disturb his rights in the premises would be resisted by him in the courts. The president was given power to make the schedlue which will be adopted without change. An admission fee of twentyfive cents will be charged in cities where there is competition. Charles J. Stroebel, of Toledo, who v. as awarded one year franchise In the circuit at Chicago, was. to-day awarded a five-year franchise. Watkins, Wllmot and Tebeau were appointed a committee on playing rules. The next meeting of the association probably will be held in February and all future meetings will be at Chicago. All the magnates are rather disinclined to announce their lists of players, but a roster of those ' claimed was finally prepared and given out as follows: Kansas City Pitchers: Wolfe, Gibson, Weimer, Gear, Oscar Jones; catchers, Beville, Messit; first base, Brashear; shortstop, Dundon and Lewee; third base, Robinson; outfielders.

MIL BRUSH HACK HOME. He I Not Yet Ready to Tnlk About llnseball Situation. President John T. Brush,' of the Cincinnati Club, about whom so much has been said of late and whose name has been printed oftener in the last three or four weeks than any other man's, returned to Indianapolis yesterday and spent the day at his desk in the When clothing store. While Mr. Brush Is still noncommunlcatlve, he wears a larger smile now than Just after the National League meeting in New Y'ork, and his general demeanor yesterday gave evidence that something has "come his way" in the last few days. If the recent stories published by a Cincinnati paper, to the effect that it is time for him to sell out that club, have worried him he does not show it in the least. When seen yesterday afternoon by a Journal reporter and asked to discuss baseball or submit to an interview he promptly declined. When asked about the Cincinnati rtories, and if he cared to make any statements in his own behalf, he made the following charac teristic remarks: "I have always deemed it advisable to not interrupt a speaker when he has the lloor." "But, Mr. Brush, will you consider a proposition to sell the Cincinnati club?" 1 am not talking baseball just now. My previous statement sums up the situation from my standpoint." "The public seems anxious to have you make some kind of a statement regarding your plans or attitude in the Cincinnati matter. Do you care to say anything?" "The other fellows seem to be getting enough in the papers just now to keep the reading public busy. No, 1 have nothing to say." "A story comes from Cincinnati to the effect that an agent or representative will call upon you in behalf of the Cincinnati people, who have said they wanted to buy you out. to make a projosition to you. Have you seen any person regarding the matter?" "No. I have not. The mall is stacked hlKh upon my desk, and I have found a letter here from a Cincinnati man which will receive an answer when I corr.e to it." "You will not care to say then at this time whether you contemplate selling the Cincinnati ciub?" '1 am not talking about that matter," w,a.- Mr. Brush' t rse reply. Mr. Brush realizes that he has given newspaper men much anxiety of late beau.se of their inability to locate him. When the matter was brought up he said he had been in many places in the lat few weeks, as his physician had ordered him to relieve his mind from busy cares. He Raid it wus sometimes to his advantage to keep away from newspaper men In eitle., as he often

felt as if he didn't care to be bothered by those who tried to induce him to submit to an interview. "But I have improved wonderfully in health in the last month, and, if I show the same improvement in the next month, I may then get into some of this baseball talk." JIM AND TOM MAY FIGHT JEFFRIES AND SHARKEY MATCHED FOR A PUGILISTIC BOLT. Will Take PInec In San Francisco In Case Mäher . I Defeated Fitskimmon Xeglected. NEW YORK, Dec. SO. Jim Jeffries and Tom Sharkey were matcheel to-day for a fight which will Involve the heavyweight fistic championship of the world. "Billy" Delaney, who is Jeffries's manager, met Tom Sharkey and his manager, Barney Reich, at a resort near the Criminal Courthouse this afternoon. Delaney said he was anxious to Induce Bob Fitzsimmons to meet the champion once more, and he had given him due notice of his whereabouts, but neither Fitzsimmons nor any representative of his put in an appearance, so Delaney clinched the bargain with Sharkey. According to the articles of agreement the fight will take place on any day between March 17 and April SO, beforo the club offering tho best Inducements. Immediately James C. Kenned representing J. W. Coffroth. of the Yosemite Athletic Club of San Francisco, bid G24 per cent, of the gross receipts, and the men immediately agreed to fight in San Francisco under that club's auspices. There is just a possibility that the men will not meet, and that, according: to the articles of agreement, is the chance that Sharkey is defeated by Peter Maher in their bout in Philadelphia in the third week of next year. The bout will be declared off should Sharkey succumb to Maher. Bob Fitzsimmons was seen to-night at his home at Bath Beach and informed that Jeffries and Sharkey had been matched. He said: "From reading the many advance notices sent by Jeffries and Delaney from the West during the last few weeks, I was led to believe that Jeffries was hot after me and was coming to town to make me extraordinary inducements to fight him. In the first place, Jeffries is not here, and in the second place I have not received any great offer he had to make. Delaney did not notify me personally that he was in town. "I have retired from the ring, but I certainly would have considered any offer Jeffries or his manager had to make had I received it." Threw Up the Sponge. CHARLESTON, S. C, Dec. 3 Tony Moran, of New York, who was billed to box twenty-five rounels with Tommy Feltz before the Southern Athletic Association tonight, threw up the sponge after the tenth round.
