MIDLAND CEMENT

COMPANY

Temporary Restraining Order Is Granted to Prevent Sale of Stock of the Company. BEFORE JUDGE LEATHERS Combination of Stockholders Alleged to Freeze Out Minority Declared Insolvent.

Judge Leathers, of the Suitrior "trourt. yesterday granted a temporary restraining order against the Midlan! Portland Cement Company to prevent the sale of stock of the company, and to guarantee Its remaining io statu quo until the final hearing for the appointment of a recehT can be had next Monday morning. This action was taken upon the petitions of Benjamin Ileagau, one of the stockholders of the company, and A. V. Thompson, of-this city, who declare that the corporation is insolvent, and that a continuance of its business -will result disastrously to the public. Acceding to the complaint, a meeting of the board of directors was called for May i. to be held at Jersey City, N. J., under the laws of which State the corporation was filed, and that combination was being affected among certain stockholders preparatory to selling out a large amount of the stock for the purp.ose of freezing out the minority stockholders. It is charged that the board of directors and the managers of the company control a majority of . the common stock, having secured It by issuing to themselves at the time of the organization a large amount of what is known a3 promotion stock. It Is allaged that this was secured at a very trifling cost and that It 13 now proposed to convey the assets to the' combination, the only consideration for the transfer of which is claimed to be the asrjmption of the debts of the company by the combination. In this event It Is charged that all the stockholders of the company will be deprived of their legal rights. It Is alleged by William Bossoa, attorney for A. V. Thompson, that from the time of its organization, the company his kept getting deeper and deeper In debt and that the directors issued $1,000,OjO of preferred stork, which the company managed to trade for $33.0 worth of bonds, which. In turn, were finally taken up and canceled. The suit for the appointment of a receiver was brought after a similar petition had bfen filed by Attorney Lewis A. Coleman for Benjamin F. Reagan. It i3 understood that It was feared that the latter suit was filed at the Instigation of the cement company, and the Thompson suit was brought to make sure that the sale of stock which It Is alleged was to take place at the meeting of the board of directors. May fi, would not occur. It was agreed In open court yesterday, however, that tho sale of stock would not transpire befor the hearing on the appointment of a Aktiver next Monday. Iu.Heagan's complaint It Is shown that he is the owner of sixty shares of stock at the par value of fiou, that the plant of the company which is -located near Bedford, Ind., is yet incomplete and that its construction up to date has been at a cost of I2C7.000, which it Is unable to pay; and that the outstanding claims against the company, including all of its liabilities, aggregate a sum of SCS'J.OOO, and that the tangible assets as represented will not exceed fcyiAThe officers of the Midland Portland Cement Company are O. M. Packard. Indianapolis, president; George W. McDanlels, Bedford, vice president; Vouton Foulk, Indianapolis, secretary, and E. I. Fisher, Indianapolis, treasurer. The directors, besides the officers named are Elbert W. Shirk and James 1L Shirk. Peru: Georee v. CVmb.Jdiaa polls; George Munns, CrawiUruTille; Frtd VV Spacke. Indiananolls. and Kenneth K. McLaren. O. M. Packard, as president, succeeded Fred W. Spacke the first of the year. The final hearing for the appointment of a receiver will be held next Mondav before Judge Leathers. Attorney Lewis Coleman win represent Benjamin Reagan. William Bossor. will appear for A. W. Thompson, and the firm of Duncan. Smith and Hornbrook will argue the case for the defendants. PAPER HANGERS HAVE DECIDED TO STRIKE This Action Is Contingent Upon the Sanction of the National Board. ' Because the employers have refused to recognize their demands for an open shop members of the local union of paper hangers have decided to strike. On April 1 the union men notified the employers of their demand for an open shop, which were Immediately refused. A meeting of the district council of tho painters, paper hangers and decorators was held. Sunday in the Union block, and it was then decided to go on strike providing the national board of the union sanctions the action. The national headquarters are at Lafayette, and a letter was sent to the national cllicers. The union men feel confident that the action to strike will be sanctioned. HULL CONTRIBUTE TO HO MI LET IC REVIEW The Kev. J. Cummins? Smith has been asked to contribute to the Ifomiletic Review of New York, an Invitation regarded by ministers as a very high compliment, as the periodical, which circulates mainly among theologians, contains in each issue threo or four sermons' selected with a view of getting the best pulpit expressions of the world. The editor writes that he has read the reports of Mr. Smith-s sermons lr the Journal and is so much pleased with them that he wishes to obtain one for the edification and profit of the Review's liO,Ow) clerical readers. Xolileavllle Muix Dir Here. Charles M. Kibler, forty-one years old. ashier of the American Strawboard Com. any, of Noblesville, died yesterday in this city while under treatment in a sanitarium.

SAYS THEY CAUSE CRIME

If the instructions of Judge Alford, of the Criminal Court, to the grand jury for the May term be carried out violators of the Nicholson, law and all saloons that are accustomed to selling intoxicants after legal hours will be brought into court and given punishment to the fullest extent of the law. Judge Alford held that saloon keepers who are keeping open In violation of the law are In a large measure responsible for the numerous crimes of robberies and petty thieving that continually annoy the police department. He ventured that a great majority of such criminals who were brought into his court month after month had committed the deed with which they were charged after imbibing too freely of liquors sold to them after the legal hours prescribed by the Nicholson law. In his instructions to the grand jury yesterday morning Judge Alford said: "When the evidence Is that these burglars or thieves commit crimes after getting a drink or two in som saloons at 4 o'clock in the morning, have the saloon keeper whose saloon was open at that hour brought before you. Aside from th fact that they are guilty of violating the law in keeping open in this manner, theyare really partly to blame for the burglaries themselves. A good many of these negroes and some of the whites Mho break into houses, I believe, only do so after they have taken a "nerve tonic" in a saloon, anil when you find that the tonic has been obtained at illegal hours, indict the man who sold it." JUVENILE COURT DOES GREAT GOOD FOR BOYS That the Marion County Juvenile Court has very materially decreased the number of boys sent from this city to the Indiana Reform School for Boys, a; Tlainficld, is very plainly shown by a statistical report of that institution, just completed for the Governor by Suirintendent York. The report shows that during last year fewer boys were sent from Indianapolis than in any year of the preceding ten. Suit to It eimtiirMe for Dnmaees, Suit filed iu Federal Court by the Indianapolis & Eastern lnterurban Railway Company against the Oceanic Accident and Guaranty Company, of London, England, demands damages to the amount of J2,tOi as a reimbursement of the plaintiff for money paid C.

CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY. CIIAPTF.Il II. THE RUNIC RING. That same evening ldris lay reading on the hearth-rug before a bright fire. Since their return from the moorland he had found hi. mother unusually quiet, and he had therefore turned for companionship to his favorite book. "The Life of King Alfred." Having reared the volume against a footstool he rested his elbows upon the floor, and his chin upon his handr, and in this attitude was soon absorbed in the doings of the Saxon hero. Suddenly he looked up and addressed his mother, who was sitting in an armchair watching him. "Mother, what are runes?" What was there in this simple question to startle Mrs. Breakspear, for startled she certainly was? "Why do you wish to know? Who has been tri king to you about runes?" "This book says that the Vikings used to carve runes on the prows of their gallo-.. What are runes?" The mother's face lost its look of alarm, yet it was with some hesitancy that she replied, "They were letters used in olden times by the nations of the north. "But how could letters carved on the prow protect the vessel?" What a pair of earnest dark eyes were those fixed that moment upon the mother's face! "Well, as a matter of fact, they couldn't. But men fancied that they could. They were very superstitious in those days." As ldris .showed a desire for further knowledge, his mother continued: "The old Norsemen believed tnat these letters when pronounced in a certain order would have a magic effect. Some rune3 would stop the course of the wind: others would cause au enemy's sword to break. Some would make the captive's chains fall off: and others again would cause the dead to come forth from the tomb and speak. But you know, dear Idie, all this is not true. The runic letters have no such power. But the old Norse peoole believed so much in the virtue of these characters that they engraved them on the walls of their dwellings, on thtir armor, on their ships, on anything, in fact, which they wished to protect." "Were these letters like ours in shape? "Veiy different. You would like to see some Norse runes?" Mrs. Breakspear rose, and going to an oak press produced a small ebony casket, whose exterior was decorated with miniature carvings ot Norse warriors engaged in combat. Seating herself upon the hearth-rug beside the little fellow she unlocked the casket and lifted the lid. Within, upon the blue satin lining, there lay a silver ring, measuring about eight inches in circumference, and obviously of antique workmanship. "This," said Mrs. Breakspear, "is a very old runic ring." , "How old?" "More than two thousand years old. Tradition says that it was made by Odin himself. Do you know who he was, Idie?" "The bcok calls him an imaginary deity. What does that mean?" "It means a god who never lived." "Then how can the ring have been made by Odin if there never was an Odin?" "Odin, the god, is, of course, a fable; but Odin, the man, may have had a real existence. He was, so the wise tell us, a warrior, priest, and king of the North, who after death was worshiped as a deity. The legend states that, having made up his mind to die, Odin gave to himself nine wounds In the form of a circle, guiding tho point of his spear by this ring, which was laid on his breast for the purpose. The ring thus became sacred in the eves of his children and descendants: and they showed their reverence for it by using it as an altar-ring in their religious ceremonies. Guthrum, the famous Danish warrior, was of Odin's race, and this is said to have been tho identical holy ring, celebrated in history, upon which he and his Vikings swore to quit the kingdom of Alfred." ldris listened with breathless interest. Guthrum! Alfred! Odin! To think that his mother should possess a ring that had once belonged to these exalttd ehara ters! It wa3 wonderful! If the relic were gifted with memorv and speech what an interesting story it might unfold! He turned the ring over in his hand.. How massive it was! None of your modern hollow bangles, but solid and weighty. The ancient silversmith had not been sparing of the metal. "Oh. couldn't we make a lot of franc pieces out of it!" cried ldris. v The outer perimeter of the ring was enamclcd with purple and decorated with a four-line inscription of tiny runic letters in gold, so clear and distinct In outline that a runologist would have had no difficulty in reading them; though whether the characters, when rend, would have yielded any meaning, is a different matter. "Are these the runes?" asked ldris, pointing to them. "What funny looking things! Here is one like an arrow, and here it isagain, and again. Why, seme of them are like our letters. Here is one like a B, and here is an R, aid an X. What does all this writing mean, mother?" "No one his ever yet been able to interpret it. When you are older, Idie, you shall study runes, and then perhaps you will be able to explain the meaning." ldris knitted his little brows over the inscription as if desirous of solving the enigma there and then, without waiting till manhood's days. "Did Odin engrave these letters?" he asked. s "He may have done so. He is said to hav- been the inventor of runes, you know." As ldris turned -the ring around in his hand his eye became attracted by a broad, black stain on the inner perimeter. "What is this dark mark?" I His mother hesitated ere replying: "It is perhaps a blood-stain." "Why isn't it red like blood?" "A blood-stain soon turns black. I have said that this was an altar-ring. Let me tell you what is meant by that. You know If you go into La Chapelle des Percheurs you will see upon the altar a what, Idie?" "A crucifix." was the prompt reply. "Well, if you had gone into any temple of the Northmen and their temples were often nothing more than a circle of tall stones In the depth of the forest you would have seen on their altar a large silver ring. And just as Catholics nowadays kiss a crucifix and swear to speak the truth, so in old Norse tirres men employed a ring for the same purpose. Before they took the oath the ring was dipped in the blood of the sacrifice. Then if a man broke hit word it was believed that the god to whom the sacrifice had been offered would most surely punish him." The book that Idria had been reading contained an account of the Norse mode of sacrificing: and so with his eye still on the dark stain, he said: "Mother, didn't the old Norsemen sometimes offer up men on their altars?" "Sometimes they did." "Then this stain may be a man's blood?" "It is vry likely." 'Perhaps the very blood of Odin, made when he gave himself the nine wounds," said ldris, in a tone of glee, and fascinated by the ring, as children often are fascinated by things gruesome. "What a long time the stain has lasted! But it can't be Odin's blood," he continued, with an air of rnournfulness: "the stain would have worn off long ago I would like to know whose blood it Is!" "Hush! Hush! We do not yet know that it is human blood. Come, you must not talk any more about such dreadful things." And sensible that the conversation had taken a turn not at all suited to a tender mind. Mrs. Breakspear tried to divert his thoughts. Putting away J the altar-rinir, she stated herself beside him. and drawing him partly within her embrace, she said, "Now what shall I talk about?" which was her usual preface when beginning his instruction iu history, geography, and the like. "Tell mo about Vikings all about them." he r plied with an air of one capable of taking the whole cycle of Scandinavian lore. As Mrs. Breakspear had made a study of Northern history, she was able to gratlfv her little son's request by regaling him with a variety of tales drawn from lelainlic sages and early Saxon chronic!. For more than two hours ldris sat entranced, listening to the doings, good and bad. of the famous sea-kings of old. "I wish," be cried, whn his mother had finished her stories for the night, "I wish I were a Viking, like Mr. Rollo and Mr. Knc the Red. It would be fine." For several days ldris would listen to no hittory that di l not relate to Vikings. He took likewise to drawing Norse calleys

from his mother's description of them, giving to every vessel the orthodox ravenstandard, dragon prow, and a row of shields hung all around above the water-line. And he somewhat startled the good Cure of Quilaix. who had made a morning call upon Mrs. Breakspear: for when told to hand the reverend gentleman a glass of wine, he held the drink aloft with the cry of "Skoal to the Northland, skoal!" adding immediately afterwards. "Runes! runes! I wish some one would, teach me how to read runts. Won't you, monsieur?" Run! Monsieur le Cure had had a reputation for K-nolarship once upon a tirm: but thirty years incessantly spent In doing good apion the people of his parish had left hira sa little time for study that he could now read his Greek Testament only by the aid of the French translation. "And why do you wish to learn runes, my little man?" he said, patting the boy on the head. "Because because " began ldris; but, observing that his mother was pressing her finger upon her lip as a sign for him to be silent, he stopped short, and Mrs. Breakspear adroitly turned the conversation to other matters. After the departure of the Cure, she said: "Idie, you must never let any one know that we have the runic ring in our possession." "Why not?" he asked in surprise. "Because there are men who desire to lay their hands upon it. and if they learn that it is in this house they may try to steal it: nay, will perhaps kill us iu order to obtain it. The ring has been cause of one murder, and if you speak of it out of doors It may be the cause of another. Remember, then, you must not mention the ring to any one. Remember, remember!" CHAPTER III. A RETROSPECT. ldris slept in a room the window of which, being a dormer one, overlooked the roofs of the other houses, and gave him an Interrupted view of the sea. One morning, as soon as he had drawn the curtain, he came running to his mothtr's room with the news: "Oh, mother, come and look. There's a pretty little ship in the bay." So, to 'please him, Mrs. Breakspear stepped from her lit clos, or cupboard bed, and stole, even as she was, in her nlghtrobe, to take a view of the vessel. "See, there it Is," cried ldris, excitedly pointing it out.' "Is it a Viking ship, mother?" "There are no Vikings nowadays," was the reply, a reply which ldris took as a proof of the degeneracy of the times. "It is a yacht." As this term conveyed no more enlightenment to Idris's mind than if she had said that it was a qulnquereme, he naturally asked, "What is a yacht?" The explanation was deferred till breakfast time, when his mother entered into the meaning of the term. ldris made a somewhat hasty meal, being eager to run off to the quay for the purpose of taking a nearer view of the newly-arrived vessel. ! Dancing down the stairs of the old house into the street he made for the end of the stone pier, and sitting down at the head of the steps he took a long survey of the yacht, wondering whether it equaled in point of swiftness and beauty the famous Long Serpent of Olaf, built by that master shipwright. Thorberg. A boat was rapidly making its way from the vessel to the harbor. ldris recognized It as the revenue cutter at the tiller of which sat old Pol' himself. "Ha! Master ldris," he said, as soon as he had mounted the stairs, "what a pity you were "not out an hour earlier! You could then have gone with us to yon vessel." And then, turning to those who had accompanied hinn he remarked: "So Captain Rochefort is the owner of that yacht. Well, everybody has heard of him: one of the bravest in the Emperor's service, and an officer of the Legion of Honor. Nothing wrong with that craft, eh, Baptiste?" "Humph!" growled the man addressed, a grizzled old coastguard with a saturnine cast of countenance. "So they have put Captain Rochefort ashore at Port St. Reme, and he Is coming on foot to Quilaix. But if the captain wants to visit Quilaix. why does he not come with the yacht, instead of walking over the moorland?" "Whv, Baptiste. you talk like one who 13 suspicious," remarked Pol in surprise. "And I am suspicious. There's something wrong in the wind. Harbor-master, listen to me. As everybody in Quilaix is going to the Pardon to-day the town will be dererted until a late hour. The night will be dark, as this is the time of no moon. Captain Rochefort has been put ashore In order to signal the favorable moment. They are going to run a cargo." This statement was received by Pol with a burst of laughter. t "Baptiste, you talk like a fool. What cargo can such a small craft carry? Besides, they have no cargo. Did we not overhaul her thoroughly? Captain Rochefort a contrabandist! A military officer hazard his reputation in a smuggling venture! Impossible! He would have everything to lose and nothing to gain by such a course. " Baptiste, by a shake of his head, implied that he was not to be moved from Ids opinion. "Very well, Baptiste. since you are so suspicious, we had better put you on the watch for the ntxt twenty-four hours." "I intend to watch, whether put on or not. And by the key of Saint Tugean I shall have discovered something before tomorrow morning comes." "Undoubtedly. You will discover that you would have acted more wisely by going with us to the Pardon to-day. That's the ticket for me. Life is sad: then let us not miss any of its gayeties. And In all Finistere thfre are no pancakes and cider like those of St. Reme. The rest of the coastguard, murmuring their approval of these sentiments, dispersed in order to prepare for the Pardon, or church festival, to be held that day In a distant village, of which festival tho harbor-master's wife had, on the previous evening, drawn so pleasant a forecast In the hearing of ldris, that the little fellow had felt great disappointment on learning that his mother intended to take no part in the celebration. Madame Marais had been somewhat troubled by the question as to how her tenant's meals were to be prepared during her absence, but Mrs. Breakspear had solved this difficulty by offering to arrange for herself. Meantime, ldris, still at the head of the pier steps, continued his survey of the vessel. A piece of canvas hanging over the taffrail was suddenly drawn up by a sailor on board, an act that enabled ldris to see the name of the -acht painted in big black leters. N-E-M-E-S-I-S. Nemesis! That was a word new to him. He had known sailors call their boats Marie. Isabelle, Jeanne, and the like, with various epithets prefixed, as jolle, belle and petite, but never Nemesis. He could not tell whether it was the name of man or woman: so, on returning home, he sought enlightenment of his mother. "It's a curious name to give to a ship," commented the little fellow thoughtfully, after Mrs. Breakspear had tried to explain the meaning of the term. "Why do they call it that? Are they going to take vengeance on somebody?" Shortly afterwards Madame Marais came out of her house, wearing the wonderful lace cap that had descended to her through several generations. Leaning upon the arm of Old Pol, who was likewise gorgeously arrayed, she moved off in great state to take her place In the line of the procession which, under the direction of Monsieur le Cure, was slowly forming before the porch of La Chapelle des Pecheurs. When all preliminaries had been satisfactorily competed, the simple-hearted peasants, with flags flying and pipes playing, set oft on their pilgrimage, walking at a somewhat leisurely pace, for your true Breton is se' lom in a hurry. ldris. rceretting that he could not accompany them, clambered to an eminence on th1 moorland. whre, aided by his mother's opera glasses, he watched the course of the procession till it faded from view. Nearly everybody in Quilaix had i;one off to this Pardon. All the shops wer closed, and the town was as silent as on a Sunday morning during the time of high nass. Ä few of the fishermen and of th oatKunrd had indeed remained behl.nl. but these were slumbering in the shadow of the sardine boats drawn high up on the beach. From these slumberers must be excepted old R;iptiste Malet, who throughout the day glided to and fro alon? the shore, now and then dropping behind a rock to take a scrutiny of the yacht by the aid of a telescope neatly as long as himself.

"THE LISTENER" "The Listener" is an excellent example cf Jean Jacques Henner's style. His portrayal cf ths humble maid, eagerly listening, Is considered one of his best efforts. He has the rare faculty cf poetizing everything he paints, and particularly the human face and figure. It is difficult to conceive of beauty more innocent and pure than Is expressed in the features cf this mischievous young girl. Henner was born in 1829, at Bern wilier, a small village In Alsace near Belfort He has been a favorite cf Americans as early as 1866, His "La Source" brought $10,000.00 at public auction. A really beautiful picture, and you'll be disappointed should you miss getting "The Listener."
