Miss Peters is a singer of considerable abilitv, having had the advantage of thebest of vocal instruction in this country, and the past year has been spent in Paris under the famous Bough ey.

ANOTHER SUIT

Filed Against Baker the Former Richmondite, Who is Now Almost Dead. (Special to the Palladium.) Elwood, Ind., June 11. A. J. Baker, who is now in jail here awaiting his second trial, is having hard luck. His former cheerfulness has abandoned him, and his physical condition as well as his mental one, is something shocking. He is not expected to live until his second trial. The latest blow is the suit for $200 filed against Baker by his former partner, Charles A. Diltz, in the superior . court yesterday. Before Baker committed the crime (or before the crime was committed), he and Diltz conducted a meat market here. Baker bought out his part ner and had paid all but $200 at the j time of his arrest. This is the second case filed against Baker for fraud. He is almost gone. (Baker formerly lived in Richmond and had many friends here.) FOR FAIR PENNSYLVANIA NEEDS MORE FINE TRAINS FOR ST. LOUIS.

These trains will be made up entirely of Pullman, observation, dining and sleeping cars (no coacnes at ant, me enure iram painted red and lighted by electricity.

Michael Gleason of this city, the leading promoter in the proposed Richmond and Northwestern Traction line, was in New Castle yesterday to close up the deal as far as he is concerned. All of the right of way has been secured with the exception of land belonging to five farmers east of town, and this land will be condemned, so that the road will no doubt be built anyway. Mr. Gleason will send his report at once to the New York capitalists who are backing the project. If Is being held at the Glen this afternoon.

AN ENTRANCE

TO CHICAGO BY C, C. & L. IN A FEW WEEKS COURT'S DECISION NOW ANXIOUSLY AWAITED. i ONLY NINE MILES TO BE CONSTRUCTED Pamphlets Describing Summer Resorts Soon to Be Issued by This Road Notes. 1 Before another forty days have passed passengers may ride from Cincinnati to Chicago in the C, C. & L. trains without changing cars, if everything comes off as now expected. The officials of the road, said VicePresident Christy, have strong hopes of being able to accomplish the long expected and long delayed entrance into Chicago before the first of August at any rate, and mayhap before that date. The blocking of the C, C. & L. in its entrance into Chicago has been chiefly caused by the proceedings brought by the state of Illinois against the C, C. & L. to prevent the latter from crossing the Illinois canal by a bridge. The result of the proceedings in court will be known in a few days and a favorable' decision is expected although, of course, there is the possibility of an appeal being taken. In the event of a favorable decision the C, C. & L. will begin to lay the necessary nine miles of track between its pjesent terminus and Hammond, Ind., from which point every(Continued on fifth pag3.)
