MUCH INTEREST III SUIT FILED

Dora Smili Brings Action Against Estate of Late Marcus Conway.

CONDITIONS ARE PECULIAR

PLAINTIFF ALLEGE8 IN HER COMPLAINT THAT 8HE WAS PAID BUT $6 FOR THREE YEARS WORK.

Palladium Special. New Castle, May 30. A rather peculiar suit has been instituted in the circuit court by Dora Smith, who, by her attorneys, Jackson & Hunter, has begun an action against Nathan F. Canaday, of Hagerstown, the executor of the last will of Marcus Conway, deceased, demanding $500, alleged to be due her according to an agreement entered into between herself and the deceased an May 2, 1902, whereby she was to receive he board and clothing for work about the house occupied .by the deceased and that at his death she should receive the sum of $500. The plaintiff alleges that with this understanding she entered the employ of the deceased upon May 2, 1902, and that she so remained in the Conway home until August, 1905, when she left. At that time she received the sum of $5 for services rendered and performed in and about the house. Mr. Conway died' in December, 1905, and that when the will was probated it was found that the deceased had bequeathed her the sum of $1. This, with the $5 before mentioned, she alleges, is the only money or compensation received for three and one-half years' labor. t

To Speak at New Castle.

City Judge Will C. Converse has ac

cepted an invitation to deliver the

Knights of Pythias Memorial address

at New Castle next Sunday. Special

services are to be held for the deceas. ed members of the New Castle lodge of Pythians.

The Decoration Day services at Whitewater yesterday were attended by a large crowd, there being over fifteen hundred persons present. The program was an excellent one and included some fine speeches. A striking feature of the services was the fact that there were only twenty veterans of "the Civil war in attendance. This is but little more than half the number that attended last year. The number, is decreasing rapidly each year, while the number of soldiers graves in the cemetery grows correspondingly larger. The opening prayer was given by Prof. N. E. Hunt. The Hagerstown Band, under the direction of John Chapman then played a selection. Speeches were delivered by Rev. Mr. Sherritt, of Indianapolis, Prof. Joseph H. Blose, of Whitewater and Comrade Jesse E.Jones, of Hollandsburg. A double quartet furnished some music. Miss Alice White recited an appropriate selection. Those who attended from Richmond included the following: Will Chenoweth and family, William L. White and family, J. C. Thomas and family and Charles Jordan and family

BIG ELEVATOR DESTROYED

ARMOUR & CO. HAVE FIRE 4 Four Men Were Hurt and 1,000,000 Bushels of Wheat, Corn and Oats Were Lost The Loss Will Total Almost a Million Dollars.

Palladium Special. Chicago, May 30. Fire, early today destroyed the Armour & Co.s elevator D, standing along a slip extending from the south branch of the Chicago river at Fisk street. With the elevator were destroyed 1,000,000 bushels of wheat, corn and oats. Four men employed in the elevator were hurt, one fatally, soon after the fire started, when a series of explosions caused by ignition of the dust, spread the flames throughout the building. The loss is estimated roughly at from $500,000 to more than $$1,000,000. In addition fifteen cars filled yesterday with grain were on the tracks by the elevator and these were destroyed. The men hurt in the elevator wee watchman, and were standing near one of the chutes leading to the water front when one of the explosions blew them entirely out of the building. The power-house of the Commonwealth Electric Company on the west banks of the river, not far from the burning elevator, caught fire and fireboats were sent to extinguish the flames there. Companies were also sent to keep wet the walls of elevator "C" of Armour & Co. The walls of elevator "T" fell and a few minutes after 3 o'clock, and the danger to surrounding plants and lumber yards was thus ende.d

At a meeting of the, board of editors of the 1907 "Sargasso," held yesterday Fred Booth, of Noblesville, a Junior and dormitory student, was elected editor-in-chief of next year's book. Mr. Booth is one of the most popular men in the institution and is ca

pable of filing the position as he was editor of the Earlhamite this year and made it a success. Mr. Booth was

Art Editor of this year's book and is

entirely acquainted with annual work

The other members on the board of

editors are Florence Schute, Harry Costello, Katie Cochran and Gus Hoelscher. The election of business manager, which will take place today or tomorrow, promises to bring forth a politic

al fight. Several of the members of the board are in favor of the election

of Gath Freeman to the position, but others want Louis Mitchell. The chances are that Mr. Freeman will be

elected.

The "06" Sargasso will be ready for

distribution next Thursday. The book

could be issued sooner but as Editor in Chief Mr. Howard Burgess is out of the city and will not be back till then, the book will not be put on the

market till that date. Mr. Burgess

graduates from the science depart

ment at Purdue University next, wpd' nesday.

superintendent' of the Continental

Fire Insurance Company, while automobiling with his wife this afternoon was buried under his 40-horse power automobile, after It had toppled over a

35-foot embankment on Rverdale avenue near 232d street. Mr. Taylor was rescued and taken to Fordham hospital in an unconscious condition.

Mr. Taylor was operating the auto

mobile. He encountered a steep hill on Riverdale avenue at 232d street.

In his efforts to get up the hill, Mr.

Taylor put on high speed. Despite

this effort the automobile stopped mid

way on the incline. Gradually lower

ing the speed had no effect. The au

tomobile backed slowly down the hill, gaining speed as it went. Mrs. Tay

lor became frightened and jumped from the automobile, landing safely.

Her husband stayed in the machine

and exerted every effort to get the levers working. The big automobile continued tc

back down until it reached a point about 300 feet from where " it had stopped on the uphill trip. Here the machine swung to one side, probably

from;Mr. Taylor's having turned the steering wheel, and turning sharply, the automobile struck, a fence and In

another , second careened over backward, ripped on a part of the fence, and dropped down an embankment 35 feet. There was one complete turn

made by the macMnaawheri it landed Mr. Taylor was nowhere to be
