WOMEN VOICE A PROTEST

rilKV OBJECT TO THE PROJECTED THE ET FAIR AT LAFAYETTE. RIkt Blackberry (rap-French Lick Spring Litigation-Fatal Renalt of a Fall Other State Srwi. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind.. July 2.-Women of the city and West Lafayette held an indignation meeting at the courthouae this afternoon, and after strongly denouncing the promoters of th merchants' street carnival, to be held here in September, adopted reaolutlona protecting against the project. When Mrs. Ruth Jameson arose to open the meeting there were fifty women, several ministers and a fewother men present. Mrs. II. H. Lancaster, of the Women's Prison Board of Control, spoke, as did several others. The Rev. C. H. Trout was insde chairman. The following resolution, prepared by the Rev. W. E. McKlnzle, was adopted: "Resolved, That we protest against the use of our streets for immoral exhibitions, which work such harm to our young, and that we submit the protest to the MerI. ants' Association with a prayer that the carnival plans be abandoned." 1 hen aii joined In singing a hymn and the. meeting adjourned. Conference of History Teachers. ial to th- Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., July 36.-A conference of the leading history teachers of Wayne county was recently held with Prof. Cyrus W. Hodgln, of Eariham CsUagS, who is one of a committee of five appointed by the State Teachers' Association to recommend changes in the present course. It was the sense of the conference that the course, as outlined, is too htavy, and the "Ten Boys," on which the first six years of the course are bMd, Is insufficient as a last. AH were agreed that myths and stories should be used for the hrst three grades and some more suitable text should be provided for the fourth, filth and sixth grades. As the work advances it should bSCOflss more complex and the abstract parts introduced. The biography work, which Is so nearly lost sight of in the PTSS SHI course, should be given a more pi omIneai place. These suggestions will be presented to lbs state committee at its lirst meeting. Great Crop of Blackberries. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOM1XGTON, Ind., July 26. It is not an overstatement to say that not less than l.OUU gallons of blackberries were sold in Bloomington yesterday, and that within the next week probably lu.uuu gallons will be sold in and about the city. The crop is unusually heavy this year, and only for the sudden dry spell would have been even larger. The berries are not cultivated, but grow on the hillsides in the woods and along the roads in fence corners. For a week past hundreds of people have taken out their buckets and picked the berries wherever they can be found. One farmer yesterday brought in over 200 gallons and peddled from house to house. The berries sell at about 10 cents a gallon, which gives an idea of the revenue derived during the last two weeks of July from this source. Funeral of Mrs. Anbury. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSON VI LLE, Ind., July 2ti.-At the funeral of Mrs. Matilda Asbury, mother of the Rev. E. C.

Sreclal to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., July 26. A building put up practically by their own hands and with nearly every dollar of Indebtedness paid or pledged for by members, a humble and Interesting band of Christian people to-day dedicated their house of worship In this city. They have no fixed name for their church, but are about to adopt "The Congregation" as a title for their church body and building. They do not employ a pastor, and the pulpit Is occupied by some member, whose sermons must not be long nor on any theme except one suggested directly by the Bible. Was a Bad Man in Evansvllle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. EVANS VI LLE, Ind., July 26.-J. D. Mayfield (or Metcalf), of this city, who was lynched by a mob last night at Danville, 111., came here about two years ago from either Louisville or Cincinnati. Unitil eight months ago he worked with a tie gaug on the river. He had a reputation of being a tough among the negroes, and has been arrested here several times.

Fruit left the citv after his place was attacked. Funeral of Henry F. Kruse. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 26.

VEINS Di MONROE COIXTY TAPPED BY DRILLS II MANY SPOTS. 0 Plans to Exploit the Territory in Pro cess of Development Coal Mines Also to Be Opened. Fpcial to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., July 36,-It Is now an open secret here that the promoters of the Indianapolis Southern have not only hundreds of acres of land in western Monroe and eastern Greene county under option for coal, oil and mineral purposes, but they believe that valuable iron ore has been found. The line of the road will be so changed as to extend from south of Bloomington and direct to Bloomfield so as to go through the center of this territory. Last" December agents were sent through this section and options were taken on all the iarm lands with the right of prospecting, and within the last month two sets of men have been testing the land with drills, over twenty different holes being made. An expert has been over the territory after an analysis of the drillings and declares the ore is of the best. He and W. E. Stevenson, of Indianapolis, spent last week going over all the land. In this connection it is interesting to recall tnat almost fifty years ago a furnace was erected near Stamfsrd, this county, and for several years many men worked at digging iron ore, and it was made Into stoves, ovens and kitchen utensils, many of which are now in use, but, with later railroad facilities from the East, the prod uct here could not compete in the market and the furnace was abandoned, although the quality of ore was recognized as firstclass. It was from the older citizens that the Indianapolis Southern people 'got the information on which they have been working for the past year. There is much excitement in the vicinity among the farmers over the prospects of the new developments. The territory is about fourteen miles west of the oolitic stonejaelt. First Car Over the Line.

DEATH OF OTIS EVANS

IX VERTHS ATIOX BY THE TIPPECANOE AUTHORITIES INDER WAY. Woman's Death to Be Probed at Ricbmoiid I ntu 1 Cutttnff Affray ear Vlneennes Other Crimes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind.. July 26 Coroner Morrisou and Court Stenographer Alva O. Reser went to Fowler yesterday, where they are holding an inquest over the death of Otis Evans, the lineman who was found mortally injured near Fowler on July 12. The authorities at Fowler believe there was foul play and they asked that an Inquest be held. Evans was found unconscious by a Big Four train crew In a dkch beside the track two miles east of Fowler. His skull was crushed and his face and body were badiy bruised. He was brought to this city and died in St. Elizabeth's Hospital without uttering- a word. His clothes were searched and no money or valuable were found cn his person. It was known that arlier in the evening on which he was found dying he had quite a large sum of money and a watch. He left Fowler with the intention of coming to Lafayette and was seen to board a freight train which passed through this city shortly before midnight on July 12. A policeman at the Union Station noticed a number of tramps riding between freight cars on the train. As the injuries suffered by Evans indicated that he had been struck by a club or stone there is a general belief that he was robbed and murdered. Evans's body was shipped to his home in New Castle. He was a member of the Electrical Workers' Union and was once employed in ludiana polls. Investigating a Woman's Death. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind., July 2. Coroner S. C. Markley was .o-day called to investigate the death of Mrs. Nora Storer, at the Home for Friendless Women, to which place she was taken on July tL He found death due to a criminal operation. Through some neglect no ante-mortem statement was taken and there is only circumstantial evidence as to whom is responsible for the crime. Coroner Markley could not complete his Investigation to-day, but will devote tomorrow to it, and probably will hold an autopsy. The woman was twenty-six years old and had no local relatives. TWO MEX MAY DIE. General Cutting Affray Over Two Women West of VI leennes. Special to the Indianapolis Joun.al. V1NCENNES, Ind., July 26.-A cutting affray took place late this afternoon 'just across the river from this city as the result of which one person will die and probably two. Six men and two women, with two kegs of beer, were soon in a fighting humor. The men began to quarrel over the women and. Louis Scheers stabbed Bill Lanyam once In the head, then slashed his throat. Lanham fell desperately wounded. The fight continued, and when the battle was ovr Jack Harvey had been stabbed twice, once in the back and once in the left side and he probably will die. Henry Epperson had his left arm badly cut and Dick Wade received a wound in the left cheek. Birdie Wyant, one of the women, was badly cut about the face and neck. Lanham was taken to a doctor, but he cannot recover. Sheriff Carr, of Lwrencevllle. happened along about that time and arrested Scheer and the Wyant wov.an rnd took them to the Lawrenceville jail. Probably Was Anaaulted. Special to the Indianarolls Journal. ANDERSON. Ind., July 2b. John Shaughnessey, seventy-five years old, who was picked up unconscious In the railroad yard last night was reported dying to-night at St. John's Hospital. His skull Is crushed and he was otherwise severely injured in such a manner as to lead the officers to believe an attempt was made by unknown persons to murder the old man. Investigation indicates that no train passed the point where the man was found for several hours before, and when he was found the wounds showed that they had been inflicted only a few minutes before the discovery. His money and other valuables were missing. TROOPS IN CONTROL. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) bruises caused by their being thrown aside, some being knocked down and trampled upon. With such a mob, determined to have the life of a negro murderer, ten times the number of officers on guard could not have prevented the mob's entrance to the city building and the securing of the murderer. After Metcalf had been secured by the mob and its leaders were sure that he was dead the latter mostly withdrew and did not participate In the horrible scenes that followed. They had accomplished their purpose and the body of the dead negro was left to a howling mob of half-drunken persons, who for the time being were transformed Into frenzied beasts. It was this element that dragged the body to Schermayers' saloon, strung it up to a telephone pole, riddled It with bullets und thendragged it to the jail, where it was partially incinerated. It was these persons who led the attack on the jail; not the quiet, determined citisens who first obtained possession of the negro. OFFICIAL ACTION. Deputy Coroner H. J. Halls this evening announced that he would hold an Inquest into the death of young Oatterman at his office Wednesday evening. The inquest over the negro will be held Tuesday evening, at the same place. The funeral of the murdered man, Henry Carl Oatterman, will be held from the home of his .stepfather and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Leverenz, north of Bowman avenue, and the remains will be laid In the soldiers' plot at Spring Hill Cemetery. Gatterman was twenty-three years old on March 9. and had served three years In the United States Heavy Artillery; also several years in Battery A. the local artiilery organization. He was a very popular young fellow, having lived here all his life and moving in respectable circles. One fact is very noticeable. Most of those who were slightly wounded were shot In the hand. Sevenil persons were to h sen on the street? to-day with bandaged hands, but none of these would admit that he was in the mob at the jail. The reason for this Is found in the fact that scores of persons had hold of the sixty-foot steel rail used as a battering ram. When Sheriff Whltiock stepped out on the veranda and ordered the mob to withdraw for the last time, he stepped to the forward end of the improvised battering ram, aimed his not gun, a short Winchester, at the groove in the rail, and blazed away. The shot pursued the entire eourse of the groove and scores of hands suffered punctured digits In consequence. Of course those nearest the brave officer when the shot was fired were the worst Injured, and It is pretty certain that several person? in the vicinity had Angers amputated. In almost every instance where wounds were dressed in private, those Injured swore the doctors to secrecy, hence it is impossible to secure any reliable list of the slightly hurt which they represent. SPECIAL GRAND JURY. It Is believed that many names of the leaders of the mob are in the hands of the officials and that a special grand Jury will be called In a few days by Circuit Judge M. W. Thompson, or State's Attorney J. W. Keeslar. The latter Jm been In almost constant communication with the governor's office at Spring; eld since Saturday night at 10 o'clock and It was mainly owing to his representations that the militia was sent to Danville. The state's attorney and his assistant. W. M. Acton, mixed freely with both mobs and there Is reason to believe that tht y used their eyes to some purpose. Both were born and reared In this county and know a considerable portion of its population. Judge Thompson said this evening that he had not decided whether he would csll a special grand Jury. He said he wosld coo-

suit with State's Attorney Keeslar, Sheriff Whltiock and other officials before making up his mind. Personally, he is Inclined to allow investigation to be conducted throug.i the usual channels, the evidence placed before the grand jury being turned over to the regular grand Jury at the October term of court. One feature of the killing of young Gatterman. which lends sadness to an already deplorable affair. Is the fact that he was soon to have married Miss Mabel Smith, a charming girl of this city. She started on Friday for a trip to Iowa and was visiting friends in Chicago when her affianced was killed. She Is expected to arrive home tonight. The murdered man's funeral Tuesday afternoon will be attended by the members of Battery A and Spanish War Veterans, and possibly by the (i. A. R. of the city and a contingent from the Solider?" Horn'. There was an exodus of negroes from the city Saturday night during and after the lynching. Every mterurban car leaving the city up to midnight was crowded with colored people, many of whom took their entire families to Westville and other suburbs. A man who was standing in the mob while Sheriff Whltiock and his deputies were ranged on the jail veranda says he overheard a conversation between three or four lynchers In which one of them promised to shoot the sheriff if somebody would procure him a rifle or shotgun. None of the party was armed and they were bewailing the fact that they had no chance to shoot the officer. The only approach to violence during thre day oecurred when Ed Liggett, a coal miner, attempted to go through the cordon of guards at the jail. He was halted and ordered to retrace steps by Capt. P. J. Ratigan of Company A. whereupon Ligget struck the officer. He was promptly arrestee and taken before a justice of the peace, who assessed a fine of $10u and costs and sent him to jail.

Danville Blacks at Lafayette. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 26. - Wabash trains to-day brought In a number of negroes from Danville to join the rapidly growing colony of blacks In this city. The new arrivals fled from the Illinois town, fearing a general slaughter of their race there. They are wildly excited. CHESTERFIELD'S BIG DAY OVER 0,000 PERSONS AT THE GREAT SPIRITUAL CA MI. InventiKatlon of Mediums Inder Way by the Cnmp AuthoritiesThe Day's Lectures and Services. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., July 26. At the Chesterfield Camp of the Indiana Association of Spiritualists, to-day, it was stated that the attendance to-day established a new record for the second Sunday of the annual camp meeting. There were nearly four thousand paid admissions. More than a thousand children were admitted free, and with the people living in camp during the meeting there 'was a total of over six thousand people present. With dinners and suppers spread on the ground throughout the appearance was suggested of a great park or picnic ground. The camp auditorium was taxed to its utmost capacity at the morning and afternoon lectures. Mrs. Cary Carpenter, of Detroit, spoke at 10 o'clock and also In the afternoon. The Rev. Dr. B. F. Austin, of Toronto, delivered a lecture in the afternoon on the tenets of spiritualism. Incidentally he said that for sixteen years he was president of a Methodist seminary at St. Thomas. Canada, but was turned out because he began investigating spiritualism and finally became converted to it. Mrs. Haggis Waite, a medium of San Francisco, gave nearly one hundred demonstrations of spirit messages and mind reading. Among written questions sent up to her was one by a well-known man who.

The lynching occurred on the Beard plantation, near the spot where the woman's crime was committed. Jennie Steer was stubborn to the last, denying her crime. It is c'aimed the negress fied from the Dolan household as soon as she discovered that her crime was known. She was pursued by a posse, who found her crouching In a hayloft. She refused to come out and had to be dragged from the place. Asked why she had poisoned Miss Dolan the negress indignantly denied the commission of the crime. She was taken to the Dolan homestead and fully identified as the woman who had placed the poison in the lemonade. The mob then took her to a near by tree. placed a rope around her neck and again nsked her to confess. She was stubborn to the last, however, and was strung up without making any admissions. While the body was dangling in midair several bullets were fired Into It by the enraged citizens. The poisoning of Miss Dolan created intense excitement in the neighborhood of the crime. The victim of the poison was a beautiful young white girl, who was not known to have an enemy in the world. She died in horrible agony, a fact which accentuated the rage of the mob.

The morning was foggy and i neither engineer saw the other In time to j stop, although the engineer ot the limited had applied the air brakes. That the two trains came together with terrific force was evidenced by th fact that both engines were badly damaged, but they remained standing upright on the tracks. The baggage and buffet cars were completely wrecked and turned crosswise the tracks. The first sleeper back of the buffet was badly smashed and the four rear cars remained intact. These cars were used to bring the dead and injured to St. Paul and Minneapolis, where the injured were given surgical attendance.

Remarkable Achievement of Prlaee of Adventurers. the Edinburgh Scotsman. A fine type of attractive rogues wns Jaques Casanova dl Seingalt, styled the Prince of Adventurers, the gentlemanly scapegrace who for over half a century ranged at full will over Europe a debonnalr free lance, taking to biiassif a most unfair proportion of this world's good. Interviewing popes and sovereigns on equal terms, cheating men and betraying w jmen. A proud rogue, too, was Casanova; with an entire lack of honor in his dealings with others, he coupled a striking amount of "amour propre,' and his affairs of honor may be counted in their tens. Besides his more casual iniquities Casanova managed to fall foul of the authorities by his dabbling in black magic und having incautiously boasted of certain interviews with the Almighty, was incarcerated by the inquisition, out of the way of further mischief. But liberty was to Casanova as the breath of life. (Jet out he must! The cell in which he found himself confined was small, secure and closely guarded. Pen and ink, knife and fork were forblddtn luxuries, and the captive's sole recreation was to walk In a narrow corridor where old lumber had accumulated. Here he discovered one day a small block of marble which he secured. Later an iron bolt came Into his hands by accident, and with these crude tools woraed together ne managed to make quite a respectable weapon, file, hammer and ax In one. But how to use It? His own cell wss impregnable from within; he must have collusion from without. In an adjacent cell was imprisoned a monk, one Father Balbi, with whom Casanova was allowed to exchange books and whom long imprisonment had rendered less closely guarded. With mulberry Juice and a sharpened fingernail Casanova wrote Instructions In books to this accomplice, who
