Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW CASTLE, Ind., Oct. 23.-Mrs. John Rodgcrs, a member of one of the old families of the city and prominent in local society, last night fell into a trench between the cement walk 'and the street curb, excavated for hot water service into the home of J. W. Maxim, which Is on the principal resident street of the city and only two squares from the business portion of the town. She lay there for an hour and a half and was dead when found. Fifty people may have passed the place, which was dark from the shade of trees, while she lay there. A party was being entertained at the Maxim home, not more than thirty feet away. Mrs. Rodgers left her home, which was about a square and a half from that of her mother, to Join her mother and spend the evening at the home of their neighbor, Mrs. Charles S. Ilernly. It is thought she first walked In the reet because the trees darkened the sidewalk and after two minutes walk from home for some reaeon she turned Into the sidewalk and stepped Into the trench, which was thirty-seven inches deep and about four feet long, falling upon her face and shoulders and severing the spinal column at the base of the brain. After waiting for some time for her daughter Mrs. Goodwin and daughter LIl lian went to the Rodgers home, passing directly by the spot where Mrs. Rodgers lay and returning again, a neighbor who ac companled the ladies home after their inquiry again passed the trench upon his re turn and he remarked in Jest to his wife. perhaps "Mrs. Rodgers is In there" and struck a match as he spoke, revealing the prostrate form with head down in the trench. Mrs. Rodgers's husband. John Rodgers, Is a traveling salesman for the Myers car riage works at Ligonier and was away from home. Her sisters. Miss Frances Goodwin, the sculptor, and Miss Helen, the artist, left recently for Paris and were due to land in France to-day and the sad news of their sister's tragic death will be among: their first messages from home. 11.

ASSET FOWLER DILL. WILL. XOT IIB COUNTENANCED OV SENATORS. Little ProbnMllty that Anjr Financial Legislation Will Be Undertaken at Special Session. NOT FAVOEED BY PRESIDENT WHO THINKS WELL ENOUGn SHOULD BE LET ALONE. Proposition to Pat Deputy Inspectors of Internal Revenue in the Clansi fled Service. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Oct. 23. Among the subjects of legislation which have been expected to demand attention in the special session of Congress, the measure known as the Aldrlch bank deposit bill has of late . been mentioned. The sub-committee of the finance committe has continued its session during the recess, and it Is understod that as a final outcome of much discussion the main features of the original bill have been agreed upon. The conviction of the members of the Senate subcommittee is strong that the country Is not ready for the trial of asset banking, and tho Fowler bill, acording to a leading senator, will not be countenanced by the Senate leaders. There has been a dispo sition, it is said, among members of the committee to bring the financial bill up in the Senate at the special session during the interval which must pass before the House sends over the Joint resolution approving the tariff features of the Cuban reciprocity treaty. Later counsels, in which the President has had a share, have, however, decided that it would be unwise to advance the finance bill now and bring on a sharp and prolonged discussion of financial matters, when the Immediate interests of the country do not, in the opinion of Republicans, emphasize the need of any expedited relief. It is the President's judgment that the temporary expedients resorted to by Secretary Shaw have fully met the needs of the financial situation thus far, and with this for the present it is urged by administration leaders that It Is better to rest content. It has not yet been decided when the Aldrlch bank deposit bill will be presented for consideration. xxx If a rule just prepared by the Civilservice Commission is put into effect all the deputy inspectors of internal revenue in the United States, numbering more than a thousand, will be placed in the classified service. Such a move was recommended some months ago by William Dudley Foulke, of Indiana, then a member of the commission. For some reason or other it was not carried out at that time. Officials of the Internal Revenue Bureau do not altogether approve the proposition to classify deputy inspectors. The collectors particularly are opposed to the idea in view of the fact that their deputies are bonded to them and they desire to know the men or have some say in the selection of those who serve under them. The rule Is now being considered by Mr. Yerkes, commissioner of internal revenue. It is believed that before the rule can be adopted action by Congress will be necessary. xx Immigrants to the number of 4,312 set tled in Indiana during the fiscal year ended June DO last.

Recommendations of Mississippi Val ley Medical Association. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23. Dr. Henry Tuley, secretary of the Mississippi Valley Medical Association, has given to the press ,a set of resolutions taking a strong stand against the sale of toy pistols, favoring the enactment of national legislation against the manufacture of fireworks and the open treatment of all wounds however insignificant, which were adopted at the convention of the organization held recently in Mem phis.

SPECTACULAR BATTLE

MIMIC WARFARE THAT RESEMBLED THE REAL THING. Soldiers Acted as If They Were In Earnest, and the Result Was a Desperate Affair. BLACK TROOPS P0UGHT NOBLY TENTH CAVALRY AND TWENTY- , FIFTH INFANTRY WON HONORS. Gallant CI i arge by Captain C. P. Johnson, Who Endeavored to Capture General Bell. FORT RILEY, ICan., Oct. 23.-There was a pitched battle to-day seven miles northeast of the maneuver camp and it came about as close to the real thing as is possible with blank cartridges. It was good to look upon, better to bo in and full of infantry dash and the touch and go of cavalry work. The Browns, under General Barry, represented a force advancing from the north. The Blues, under General Bell, were a force which, having been pushed out on a reconnoissance, were attacked at once by the Browns and the resultant mix-up constituted a "contact of opposing forces of all arms." General Barry's force, which marched out last evening, was forbidden by the conditions of the problem to march forward before 10:20 a. m. General Bell left his camp at 7:30 a. m. and by the time General Barry was privileged to start was close upon him and ready for operations. Colonel Duncan, leading the Sixth Infantry, the advance of General Bell's force, charged home on their left flank, rolling it up and driving it back toward the center. Two troops of cavalry were quickly put out of action by Colonel Duncan, who then swung in close upon the rear of the Browns and captured their entire baggage train. So far the battle was all for the Blues, but General Bar ry's turn was coming and his right came down on the Blue left in a fashion to make the latter wonder why it had ever gono into war business. While his Infantry poured in a heavy fire from the ridges a squadron of the Tenth Cavalry, under Capt. C. P. Johnson, moved up a ravine close to the left of General Bell's position, and then, climbing a hill and peering over the crest, Captain Johnson beheld General Bell with his entire staff riding but a short distance away. General Barry, who was close up, at once ordered Captaiu Johnson to charge and cap ture General Bell, and If possible tho Twen tieth Field Artillery, which was just in front. Johnson ordered the charge and In an instant he and his colored troopers were over the summit and at the battery. The guns turned loose for a fcv shots that would have laid out many of Johnson's men, and then It was all over. On a dead run Captain Johnson, with his troopers, was in among the guns and the battery was captured. Without halting, after dashing through the battery. Captain Johnson tore on after General Bell, but here he failed and lost his life for the day. Between him and the prize he sought was a rank of men of the same color as his own, the boys of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. Just as Johnson seemed to be swinging in on his prize a line of dark faces rose in front and volley after volley was pourea almost Into him and his men. The Twenty-fifth then rushed forward to a counter-charge, recapturing the battery and then, coming down on th; far sld-3 or tne crest, tney carried, at tae point or the bayonet, the Nineteenth Bat tery of General Barry's force that had just come up. The guns were wheeled like lightning on the Twenty-fifth, but the col ored men, witn ioua cneers and nring with wonderful rapidity, charged along the hill and there was notning tnat could stop them. The battery was theirs and they held it. While this charge was taking place Col onel Lincoln's Fifty-fifth Iowa, which is in" all things highly praised by the military critics, came forward on a ridge parallel to that along which the Twenty-fifth was charging and became hotly engaged with the supports of the battery that had been taken by the Twenty-fifth. They came plunging down the hill, crossed a narrow ravine and ascended the hill on the farther side Just In time to meet an attack that General Barry was sending in upon the Blue center. It was hot enough for anybody, and the Iowa boys were given all they could do. A part of the Twentyfifth came out to aid them, but General Barry pushed his attack with wonderful determination. He had the preponderance of forco and he made a vicious battle. Iowa was soon overmatched, although she still hung on and the Nebraska and Missouri regiments sent up aid. General Barry was not to be denied, however, and his men came on steadily, pouring in a fearful file fire, that would have been woefully destructive of ilfe in actual fight The fight was at its hottest and the men in their eagerness were pressing closer when Colonel Wagner, the senior umpire, sounded the recall and the battle closed. "It-'was a desperate fight." said Colonel Wagner, "and so sharp on both sides that only actual war could have told the victory." To-morrow a grand review will be held, all troops at camp participating. Lieutenant General Young departed for the East to-night. ONE ITTT.TJON GIVEN AWAY.

MARTINSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 23. The Van Camp Canning Company has closed its tomato factory here, after a most successful canning season.
