The police were called to the Mercilini home, 39 South Hohman street, to quell a family row there yesterday afternoon. People living in Plummer avenue complain to the police of an unclean alley betwen Plummer avenue and Morton Court. Mrs. John Cleary of 633 Hickory street, notified the police of a gang of young fellows disturbing the neighborhood. Mrs. Cleary thinks this is spite work on the part of the noise-makers because she lately noti fied the police that young men in the neighborhood indulged in crap games. HAMMOND TEAM WILL PLAY IN CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES. Five Picked Teams Will Contest for Pennant--Saturday Games to be Played Abroad and Sunday Games at Home. Inspired by the recent article in the Lake County Times the manageof the Hammond baseball team has decided to invite the managers of teams in several surrounding counties to join the local team in a championship series. Owing to the lateness of the seait has been deemed advisable to schedule games with only five teams and these will likely play only three games each. The fifteen games will serve to round out the season nicely and are sure to be more of an aton account of the championfeature than any other games that could be scheduled. A form letter is to be sent to the managers of each of the following teams, Mishawaka, La Porte, Plyand the Royal Tigers of BreInd., asking them if they ap prove of the plan for the proposed series. If they do so they will meet in the near future and arrange a schedule. If this series proves to be the success that its promoters believe it will be, a Northern Indiana league is a big possibility next year.

( Continued from First Page). on the ground. An orderly approached him with a message from headquarters. Col. Pitcher read it, laid it on the cot and then said to the waiting messen"That's all right, son." That is the keynote of this man's command of men. "Out there," he said to the small party from Hammond, for whom he had placed camp chairs, "it looks like a spot in the Philippines, but when I raise my eyes a little the sight of the smoke stacks in the distance knocks out the illusion. "How are you getting along?" First rate. The boys are standing it bully. They are as fine a lot of lads as ever carried guns. Their home sod is under their feet and they are glad." MALICIOUS TRESPASS. Abe Ottenheimer and Client Smash Door--Get Possession of Property. Abe Ottenheimer is not a big man physically, but when he wills to do a thing he generally does it. Frank Scheffner, the constable, exe cuted a writ of ejectment from the court of East Chicago, ousting Chas. Mendholson from a residence owned by John Jaracz. The infuriated man hired Abe Ottenheimer as his attorney, and together they went to the empty residence. It is charged in the warrant that the two men broke the gate in getting into the yard, smashed the door down in get ting into the house and then broke some windows and tore down the plaster after they got in. This howis denied by Mr. Ottenheimer, who claims that only the door was broken. Jaracz then got out a warrant for the arrest of both Ottenheimer and Mendholson and they are scheduled to appear before Judge McMahan and explain the reason for their strenu ous entry into the house in question. It is not known why Mr. Otten heimer did not follow the usual cus tom and file an appeal bond after the writ was issued, instead of taking possession of the house by force. Judge McMahan set. the case for July 25, at 9 a. m. on the charge of malicious trespass. Mr. Ottenheimand his client Mr. Mendohlson apbefore Judge McMahan this afternoon and were released on Otrecognizance. The case is attracting considerattention because of the unmethod of proccedure by the evicted man's attorney and if the charges are substantiated it is prothat there will be some more serious trouble ahead for the offend ing parties. When seen this afteroon by a re porter for the Lake County Times Abe Ottenheimer had the following explanation to make in regard to the matter. Mr. Otteheimer claims that the judge at East Chicago promised him that in the event of J. B. Ken(the attorney for the plainattempting to secure a writ of restitution the judge would notiOttenheimer so that he might file an appeal bond. With this assurance Abe went Hammond to try a case. He had not been long there when he received a telephone message saythat his client was being ejected from the house. This angered Mr. Ottenheimer and he jumped on the car and went to East Chicago prepared for trouble. Arriving at the place where Mendholson was being ousted he demanded the officer to show his writ of ejectment and was met with the reply that he did not have one. He then went to the judge and found that the writ had been issued under pressure and in spite of the judge's promise to the contrary. Ottenehimer immediately demandan appeal and got one. He then went back to where his client's house hold goods had been put in the street, and breaking in the door proto take possession. The issue of warrants followed. Mr. Ottenheimer says that this is another attempt of his enemy Kento discredit him in the eyes of the people of East Chicago. COL. MEYER IS HEARD FROM. LeGrand T. Meyer, city attorney, has at last been heard from. He left a number of days ago for the wilds of Wisconsin and for some time he was thought to be lost. Word has, however, reached this office showing that he has gone back to the simple life. On a birch bark postal card which he tore off the nearest tree, he wrote as follows. evidently using a limb from the tree to make an im

pression on the bark. "35 miles from railroad whistles. "35 miles from English sparrows. "35 miles from politicians. "400 miles from home but not 5 feet from recollections of my friends."

FINANCE AND TRADE (Special Stock Service to the Lake County Times). NEW YORK LETTER New York, July 19.-The feature of the session of the stock exchange today was a quick rally which occurduring the closing hour. The had been dull and without sensation all morning. It was characterized by the exdullness, the volume of busitransacted being the lightest this year. Sales up to the noon hour were only 135,000. There was a small trade in copUnion Pacific, St. Paul. SmeltLocomotive and Southern Pacific. The tendency of the market early was downward, with United States Steel common and preferred showing quite a weak undertone. The earnof this issue are at present the largest in its history, but it is a well known fact that new orders for steel rails and strustural work can be fillfor almost immediate shipment. This condition of affairs does not warrant any further increase in its earnings, and precludes the possiof any dividend on the common stock in the near future. Half an hour before the close the short sellers of the morning began to -cover and finding little stock for sale prices began to advance without much resistance. The bulls who had been biding their time joined with the anxious shorts and prices were marked up rapidly, the closing bethe highest prices of the day. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Closing Open High. Low.

Chicago, July 19.-Wheat opened active and higher on continued reof black rust in northwest and higher foreign markets, September selling at 79 1-4 early in the session. Shorts were the best buyers, but on the bulge there were liberal offer ings by one of the larger elevator houses, which were not well aband the market sold off to 78 1-2. Northwestern traders have not been as conspicuous on either side of the market today as they were earlier in the week, and are evidently awaiting further developas to the rust stories before taking a pronounced position on the market. Receipts at Chicago and primary points continue large and the quality

of wheat arriving from the Southwest is said to be the best in years. The price current was of a rather bearish tenor on the general outlook,

and its views had a tendency to retraders from becoming too bullish on the Northwestern situaCorn followed closely the trend of wheat, with a very weak undertone. Cash demand small, weather condifavorable and bull speculators inclined to take profits on any bulge. Market closed weak. Oats market again weak and lower after a rather firm opening. Specuin this cereal confined almost exclusively to local pit traders, and fluctuations are narrow. Provisions extremely dull and without feature. There are few shorts left in the July option and efforts to buy back their contracts continue to keep this option one dollar per barpremium over the more deferred months. A BRETON WEDDING. Picturesque Parade to Display the Household Furniture. A typical Breton wedding is as curious as it is improvident. So poor ofare the young pair that the only way they can set up housekeeping is by presents from their friends of food, flax, furniture and money. The youth desirous of matrimony simply offers his hand to the object of his choice. If she accept she must confirm her acby drinking wine with him. Her father's consent is asked by proxy, the deputy holding a piece of furze during the interview. The father usually offers an old woman, a youn widow and a child before granting th request. On the wedding day a cowherd leads round the village an ox wagon laden with the wedding furniture. On the top of this load two maidens are seatone spinning hemp and the other flax. The bride shows her fine breeding by making her friends drag her to church. On either side of the altar burns a wax taper, and it is expected that whichof the two is nearest to the least brilliant light will die first. The bride on leaving the church is presented with a distaff to remind her of her duties. Tripe, butter, buckbread and cider form the marfeast, toward which each guest pays his portion. At nightfall, according to an ancient custom, the mother gives her daughter a handful of nuts. The happy pair are serenaded and are served with soup containing crusts threaded together, in symbol of unity. SPECTACLE LENSES. How the Glasses Are Ground, Polishand Finished. In the manufacture of spectacle lenses the bit of glass to be formed into a lens is fastened by means of pitch to a small block of hard rubber so that it may be held. It is ground by being pressed against a rapidly re volving cast iron disk on a vertical spindle and with curvature equal and opposite to that desired in the lens. This is the "rough tool" and is kept moistened with emery and water. Sevgrades of emery are used in suc cession, changing from coarse to fine as the grinding proceeds. The glass is then transferred to the "fine tool," made of brass, and com pared from time to time to a standard curve in order to insure accuracy. In this second grinding the abrading mais rough. Finally, the lens is polished by being pressed against a piece of cloth pow dered with rouge and fastened to the rotating tool. The glass is now loosfrom its block, turned over and the reverse side of the lens ground. When this has been accomplished the lens is placed on a leather cushion and held firmly in position by a rubber tipped arm while a diamond glass cut ter passing round an oval guide traces a similar oval on the glass below. The superfluous glass is removed by steel pinchers and the rough edges are ground smooth on Scotch wheels. Pearson's Weekly. Man and His Money. Almost every woman has her basis for the valuation of a man. One girl who recently broke off an engagement to be married certainly has hers. "I couldn't stand him," she said, ''behe carried his money in a fish scale purse. That seemed to me the limit. To my mind there is only one really manly way for a man to carry money, and that is to throw it around loose in his trousers pockets, so that when he wants a nickel he has to dig up change by the handful to get it. For bills, of course, I can stand one of those flat leather pocketbooks. They have a businesslike aspect and do not detract from a man's dignity. But to see a big strapping fellow who has the appearance of a real live man draw a little purse from his pocket and fish around for a dime is too much for me." New York Sun. Rome's Great Fire. In A.
