ERUPTION III NORTH ENDOFJHE BIT Roscoe Clayborne and Mrs. , Carrie Coleman Have a Spirited Encounter. There was an eruption in the peace find- quiet of north end colored circles "Monday afternoon, which resulted in 2losco0 Clayborne- facing Judge Converse in the city court. After an hour's delay waiting for the prosecuting witness, Mrs. Carrie Coleman, to appear in court, Judge Converse dismissed the case. He also stated that n the future when people swore out affidavits for the arrest of the objects of their vengeance and then, without reasonable excuse, failed to put in an appearance to prosecute the case when called for hearing, would meet the displeasure of the court, either by having the case dismissed or being-Tined for Contempt. Police officers state that Clayborne Monday told Coleman to keep his eye cm Mrs. Coleman. "When the irate woman learned that Clayborne had been talking against her, she sallied forth, armed with a pair of shears, to inaugurate a little scene in which Clayborne was billed to star in the title

role. She met "Roscoe while he was riding down the street on a dray horse. Mrs. Coleman promptly gave battle Hnd the jabs of her shears in the calf of his leg caused Roscoe to alight from his charger and strike Mrs. Coleman in the Jaw. The police state that Oarborne, after striking Mrs. Coleman, became the vortex of a miniature street fight, Roscoe being beset on all rides by friends of the assaulted woman. He finally made his escape and Mrs. Coleman then swore out a warrant for his arrest.

HAD APPARENTLY BEEN IN GOOD HEALTH AND RETIRED MONDAY NIGHT IN THE BEST OF 'SPIRITS.-:-r.:r-t , . - ,

Mrs. Catherine Ilasecoster, wife of

John Frederick Ilasecoster of 209

South Thirteenth street, a well known and respected resident of this city,

was found dead in bed this morn

ing by her husband. The cause of the

sudden demise of Mrs. Ilasecoster,

who was considered in fairly good

health, is attributed to an attack of

heart trouble. She was . sixty-one years of age. Mrs. Ilasecoster was attacked last fall with shortness of breath, due to heart trouble, but since that time has been in apparently good health. Mon day she. probably overtaxed herself at some house work. She retired in good spirits. Coroner Bramkamp was immediately summoned and he pronounced death from heart trouble. - Mrs. Hasecoster was a resident of Richmond for a number of years and had a wide circle of friends. Her demise will be keenly felt by relatives and friends, among whom she was known for her kind and loving disposition. The funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

THE STONE PILE FOR WILLIE WOODS, SHINE Schooner of Suds Gets Colored Boy Into Trouble.

Willie Woods, shine at the Simmons cigar store, and alleged town cutup, partook of a schooner of suds Monday evening, which resulted in Willie accumulating a package. Willie became frivolous on the streets and playfully bantered divers policemen to chase him. Three officers finally laid a trap for the frolicsome colored lad and he dashed into the arms of Officer Winters. The open front patrol wagon was called and the crowd that collected pn Main street to witness AViilie talce a ride to the city jail resembled circus day at New Castle. Willie was still in high spirits after being locked in the drunk storage room and playfully broke out a window. In the city court he was fined $1 and costs and despite his efforts to have friends come to his rescue with the "necessary," Judge . Converse ruled that it would be best to have -Willie do time at the county jail. Willie's stone pile hammer has been ordered.

Dr. Wr. O. Waggoner, United States government inspector at the Richmond Abattoir company's plant, has received a letter from Secretary Wilson, asking him to attend the meeting of all Indiana government meat Inspectors, which will be held in Chicago May (5, and will continue for several days. About loO meat inspectors, which are distributed throughout Indiana, will be in attendance. Both Secretary Wilson and Dr. A. B. Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal industry, will deliver addresses, while a general symposium will be held on the questions that are confronting the inspectors of Indiana at the present time. Secretary Wilson believes there is room for improvement in Indiana inspection and the whole service will be discussed in that all questions may be settled. Although it Is not known definitely it is probable that the placing of -additional men in Richmond will receive

attention at the hands of the conference, and the situation here, which is one of the most unique in the state, will be thoroughly thrashed over.

Thomas Mcdirr, one of the best

known residents of this city, . was

found Monday afternoon on Washing

ton street, Indianapolis, in such a feeble condition that he was unable to walk and, at first, unable to give

much account of himself. He was

taken to police headquarters until

his case could be Investigated. While

In the cell Mr. McGirr, who is over

80 years of age, fell and cut the hack of his head. After he had been revived and attended by a physician,

Mr. McGirr stated that he was v.'slt

ing a neice, Rebecca Hanson, and

that his home is'iu Richmond. Formerly Well to Do.

Mr. McGirr was at one time a well to do resident of this city but in late years he has met with reverses and prior to his leaving the city last Friday to make his homo with a nephew in Indianapolis, he was In

destitute circumstances. Recently Mr. McGirr had to give up his home on North D street to meet his debts and since that time he has lived on the charity of friends. B. A. Kennepohl a few days ago appeared in police headquarters and told of the condition of the old man and recommended that the authorities take some action in his case. Mr. Kennepohl stated that Mr. McGirr came into his restaurant one morning and that it was learned the old man had had nothing to eat so Mr. Kennepohl made arrangements to board Mr. McGirr at the restaurant. Aided by J.j B. Dougan. John B. Dougan became interested in the pitiful case of Mr. McGirr and

fwhen his nephew notified local fr!ends

that he would care for him at his home in Indianapolis, Mr. Dougan purchased Mr. McGirr a new outfit of clothing and sent him to the home of his nephew-. It Is thought that Mr. McGirr while wandering about

j Indianapolis fell a victim to his in- ! flrmities but that by this time he is once more at the home of his nephew.

During the years 1S76-1877 Mr. McGirr served a3 councilman from the second ward and after that trme he

j served for a number of years as constable in Justice Lyle's court. He

made himself generally popular and there are but few. of the older residents of this city who are not at quainted with him.

FATALITIES III A FIRE

The standing of tho young men's snn.lds Is as follows-

JlS.479.l2 In the young men's squad contest the interest seems to Intensify. Bartel takes first place from Dill again but by very close . margin. All of tho squads hnve taken a spurt and It would not be surprising that these young mn do not reach 20,000 before the campaign Is over. An Interesting Gathering. One of the most interesting gainerings of the Y. M. C. A. was that of Monday night when the young men reported on the house to house effort. Af one young man expressed It, it was like an election night waiting for tho returns, and then beginning to como In from nine o'clock until after ten with their reports. The experiences cf these young men as related by them was Interesting, In some cases amusing, and in all cases encouraging. Contrary to the expectation of Rome,

jouns men came in wun neatnlng faces and happy hearts, mostly reporting the kindest and the most courteous treatment in the homes visited. ; t .

The young men engaged fn ihTa work are fast learning things about the city of Richmond that they had never known before. They are learn, ing of the apparent lack of interest In the true welfare of the young men of the city on the cart of thoso whn

are abundantly able to hel :hl movement to success. On tho other hand they are getting heart touching lessons of sacrifice from the toilers in the cottage and the homes of the great middle class, who are always the backbone of any luoeuient for progress. ' Surely the work of these young men

and the attitude of people in modern

circumctences In the town, has not only demonstrated the need, but ata the anxiety of the people of Rif hmond for the Youug Men's Christian association. The total reported by the young men In Monday night's effort on the house to house canvass, was $809.25. The report was most encouraslnr In

view of the fact that the young men had scarcely touched their territory.

With one week left to work and ov

er $10,000 to get, In order to secure

Mr. Reld e offer, a sacrifice must be-

come more general. This amount of

money cannot be raised among the poorer classes who have been giving out of their needs. The time has

come for those who have been blessed with plenty to get under this burden and do much better than they have.
