Fines in City Court.

Harry Carpenter, Edward Esteb and Poney Miller, the former two colored jnen, were each fined ?10 and costs ia the city court ivr indulging in a crap Came at the circus grounds Saturday afternoon. Carpenter and Esteb entered pleas of guilty, but Miller stated that he was not guilty. All three men are employes of the Barnum & Uailey circus. The arrest of the three men at the circus grounds created considerable excitement, owing to the fact that thir ty or forty canvasmen and show roustabouts made an attempt to rescue the crap players. Chief Bailey, Officer

Bundy, Officer Edwards and Officer "Wierhake, who had the men in charge, had to draw their revolvers to prevent the angry showmen from making a determined effort to rescue their friends. The sight of the ugly looking sixehooters had the desired effect and the mob dispersed and allowed the officers to take their prisoners to the city jail without any further trouble. . Officers Cause Panic. When Chief Bailey and his three of lifers were making the rounds of the circus grounds in the afternoon, they noticed ten or fifteen men gathered about a piece of canvas stretv'jed oa the ground near a wagon. "Come

seven," yelled one of the men who was kneeling at the side of the canvas. Immediatelythe officers ebared into the crowd and a wild scrar-'.ble followed. Wierhake. and Bailey gabbed Carpenter, who in turn grabbed a guy rope "with the . grip of a, drowning man. While the two officers were tusseling with Carpenter an'i Officers Edwards and Bundy were Laving their troubles with Miller and Fsteb, respectively, the other plasters grabbed for the money and the dice zJid then took to their heels. They did not get all that was on the canvas, however, for Officer Bundy, before grabbing Esteb, snatched " rents and a "bone' off the canvas bef.;-e' he grabbed Esteb. G ns Did the Business. While the chief and his officers were leading the prisoners off the grounds, the victims sent up the dread circus Cries of "Hey Rube" and "here.wa i." Immediately canvas men, wagon men and roustabouts from every direction rallied to the rescue and in three minutes time the officers and their prisoners were surrounded by an angry and noisy crowd of reckless circus men. "Let 'em go." cried the mob. then Sheriff Meredith joined the Jiot pressed police. "Let's take 'em away." said one of the circus men. Realizing that trouble was imminent. Chief Bailey whipped out his revolver! and the other officers and the sheriff!

followed suit. "Don't start anything

said the chief. The mob recoiled at the

sight of the guns, then slowly dispersed, mumbling threats against the officers.

trade extension excursion. The idoa

of the Cleveland wholesalers is abso

lutely unique and original with them

The excursions are run semi- annually

and the heads of the houses which do

business in the territory through which the train passes, make the trip,

that they may come in personal touch with their buyers. In this manner

mutual interest is aroused between the wholesale men and the retailers, and

all business deals are carried through

much more satisfactorily than would

be the case otherwise. Dealers Were Visited. During their stay in the city pra

tically all retail dealers were called UDon. while many of the latter went

to the train where they met the men

of whom they have been buying their eoods. Previous to the coming of

the Cleveland dealers, " large souvenir books, describing the trip, were mailed into Richmond in large numbers, while at the same time local dealers were notified that the party would be

here today.

The special on which the party is makins: the trin is composed of two

sleepers, one dining car and one orui

nary Pullman coach, all of which were fitted out very handsomely. The

trip from Cleveland was started Sunday afternoon at five o'clock, and the special was carried over the Big Four to Union City, where the G. R. & I. picked the train up and brought it to Richmond. The time made was exceptionally fast, and particularly so over the G. R. & I. From Union City to Richmond, the train was hauled at the speed of sixty-five miles an hour. The trip will continue one week and many towns will be visited. Given Telephone Service. One of the novel features connected with the train is the telephone service furnished by the Central Union company. At all stops two instruments are connected with the wires of the company and all those on board can telephone to any city they wish.

MABELLE GILMAM.

WILLIAM E. COREY.

?few York, May 13 Bridal gifts of

$1,000,000, & palatial Fifth avenue home, a $30,000 trousseau, a midnight marriage in the royal suite of the Hotel Gotham, a $50,000 wedding supper for thirty guests, three months' automobile honeymoon in Europe and the

knowledge that her millionaire husband retains his place with the United States Steel Corporation. Surely

these things should make Mabelle Gilman a happy bride when she becomes

the wife of William Ellis Corey to

night.

Ten associates of the steel king wil!

mark the occasion with the approval

of the steel trust and set at rest all rumors of Mr. Corey's resignation. All sorts of rumors as to the wedding arrangemen ts liave been -la floatTbut' Miss Gilman herself is authority for the statement that the wedding will take place today. According to members

of the Gilman family there will be

represented every Branch or the Corey family and old Braddock, Pa., friends of the bridegroom will be present.

Clergyman's Name Secret. The name of the clergyman if the ceremony is to be a religious one has been kept secret. Mr. Corey will have as his best man a relative and either Miss May Shaw, an English friend or one of Miss Gilman's sisters will be bridesmaid. After the wedding ceremony the couple will board the Xorth German Lloyd steamer, Wilhelm II and take a suite that is especially prepared for them. Mx. Corey tried to secure Emperor William's suite, but found it was engaged by two Western millionaires. The captain consented to turn over his suite of three beautifully appointed rooms to the newly married couple. After . their return the Coreya will live at their1 recently acquired- Fifth avenue home. The method adopted by Mr. Corey and Miss Gilman in regard to their wedding arrangements has ' defeated

tfteir own object if it were their intention to avoid publicity. Every move is watched with interest. Perhaps the greatest object of interest

is Miss Mary Shaw, the companion and bosom friend with whom Miss Gilman went shopping yesterday. There is much speculation as to who she is, where she came from and how she obtained hr footing with the Gilmans and Corey. ' It has been said that she was a ward of Mr. Corey and there Is much to bear this out. She has not the appearance or manner of a paid attendant, is always as elegantly gowned as Miss Gilman herself and accompanies the affianced everywhere they go. Beauty Opposite Type. Her beauty is exactly the opposite type of Miss Gilman's and has ecrclted much comment. Miss Shaw is younger than -Miss .: U Gilman. a tr?ldly beautiful blonde girl, tall and slender. Her features are small and she carries herself with the air of a young queen. Besides being the possessor of a large

and elegant wardrobe, Miss Shaw wears beautiful jewels and ia bountifully supplied with money. She affects white almost altogether in tha evening and her beatuy has on many occasions eclipsed Miss Gilman. It has been rumored that Miss Gilman was planning a social campaign, but she denies this. "I care absolutely nothing for society as it is known in this country," Miss Gilman said. "There is no Interest in it. The people who interest me are those who have done something those who are known In the world of music, art, literature. I hope that my home will be known as one which is frequented by the be3t of this kind of people." While not a Mme. . Recamier or a Mme. De Stael, Misa Gilman has a keen wit of her own anxTher voice Is a valuable asset, j. Hejcpnly ,regreOhe says is that she has had to givo up her grand opera career, for which no less a

person than Jean de Retzke, her in

structor, prophesied great things.

A strong agitation for a Friends'

church on the west side of the river is now on and it is likely that at the next quarterly meeting of Friends' s a

petition for a church building will be

presented by the west side members.

Many of the leading members of the Friends' church in Richmond reside on.

the west side and the agitation for a building in that part of the city has

become so strong that all that now remains is the quarterly meeting's official sanction. ' In case that a new church is built on the west side, the South Eighth Street church will probably be sold, and the East Main street church improved. At present the South Eighth Street church is more desirable for holding small meetings than is the East Main Street church, but for various reasons the east end worshipping place could not be given up. There are two hundred members of the Friends living on the west side. They are about equally divided between the Eighth Street and Main street churches. President Kelly of Earlham college, is one of the Friends who is strongly in favor of a church on the west side. In case that the church is built the religious exercises which have been held in the college chapel will be, discontin

ued. The two hundred membership of'

city people and three hundred -student members would give the ,' proposed church five hundred active workers to

begin with. The church, if built, will

be near the college campus.

THE WINNING CONTESTANTS

TO STOP AT

INSIDE II

Monday's voting was light compared to that of Sunday, yet it was enough to materially affect the standing of eeveral of the contestants. Mr. Wissler, ia the teacher's class, who has been keeping rather quiet for the past week or two, received votes enough to put him in second place. Miss Danner has again passed Miss Hodskin, though by a very slim margin. Contestants are drawing very near

the moment when all hands will have to he shown. It is only a matter of two weeks or so now until the contest

is over and the lucky ones can make arrangements for the trip. In this connection it might be well to state that the winning contestants while at the exposition, will stay at the Inside Inn, a great hotel situated within the exposition grounds.

CHARGE FRANK HART

WITH PETIT LARCENY It Is Claimed That He Stole

Two Wraps from Home of Charles Newlin.

OCCURRED MONTHS AGO.

IT IS ALSO BELIEVED THAT

GEORGE LYONS, RELEASED

FROM COUNTY JAIL AT SAME

TIME, WAS IMPLICATED.

Frank Hart, a notorious crook. Is un

der arrest in this city charged with the theft of two wraps, stolen from the

home of Charles Newlin, East Main

street, .last fall. , He will be charged

with petit larceny and probably will be

arraigned in the city court Tuesday or

Wednesday.

Hart a few years ago was sent to the

jenersonvme reiormatory lor being a

mem oer 01 a gang 01 men mat blew a

safe at Portland. Early last fall he

was arrested in this city for breaking

f into a house, and was given a jail sentence. The day he and George Lyons were released from jail the Xewlin home was entered and two wraps were

stolen from a hat rack In the front

hall. The theft was immediately reported to the police to whom it had also been reported that Lyons and Hart had left town on a Dayton and Western car a short time after the theft at the Newlin home had been committed. The

police immediately fastened suspicion on Hart and Lyons and they were traced to Eaton, Camden and Dayton. At the latter city all trace of them was lost. Friday, Hart, evidently thinking that he was no longer being sought for by the police, pulled into town on a west bound Panhandle train. He had no sooner set foot in the city than he was

arrested by Officer Edwards. The police state that they have evidence against Hart necessary to convict him of the charge for which he was arrest-

The mangled remains of the Comtn bus, O., team which Invaded our beautiful City Sunday, were returned to iU home Sunday night, together with silvers remnants of the white hosier f worn by the Buckeyes. The score of 17 to 3 tells the entire tale of the victory of our demon binglefesters. A big Sunday crowd witnessed the assault and battery committed on tho Columbus outfit, which claims to be the industrial champions of Ohio, anl the linings of many rooters' pipes were frazzled completely out' in" that awtul sixth inning when Captain Jcssup'.-gore-sceking band had an orgy of swats. Ten men were chased over the plate in thfc?" inning and one Butler, sou paw pitc her, for our visitors, had the resounding wash basin tied on him by his purple-faced, perspiring manager and chased to the jlmpson weed which thrive in right field. Mr. Campbell was placed in the box to faco the blood-thirsty Quakers, and he succeeded in stopping the carnage for fh3 only reason that Manager Jessup and his hired men had worn themselves out on Mr. Butler. Dinks Not Troublesome. The Quakers were familiar with tha dinks offered by Butler from the very first. In the opening round the local mado one tally. Neither side scored ia the second. In the third Co'umbu3 took the lead, for thft r first and only time. Butler and Jones secured bases on a hit and an error and both counted on Pretchel's double. Horn, who

pitched a spendid game, allowing eight well distributed- hits, then rallied and, refused to have any more runs shaken out of him. In Richmond's half oC the third three inns were counted. Tha locals counted again in the fourth. In the fifth neither side Eecured a run. Fireworks in the Sixth. Then came the sixth with its fireworks display. Roman candles, swata and winded Quakers chasing the bases. Ritter started the trouble with a clean, hit and scored on Cameron's double. Plummer got a life on an error. Durham follows and gets a base by Brooks' error in center, Cameron chasing home on this error. Reeves get a life on an error which aleo allowed' Plummer to count. Justice singles cleanly and Durham scores. At this

juncture the official score keeper hol

Cunny biffs one to third and whilo Justice is being run down between first

and second, Reeves counts. : Jessup come3 to bat and makes the second out on an infield teaser. Horn scorcsn Cunny on a single. Ritter comes tor bat again and gets a life, Cameron, makes his second hit of the inning, and' Horn loops the loop. Plummer walks.

then the jingling tinware is attached to Mr. Butler. Campbell, who succeeds him is greeted by Mr. Durham with a single which scores Ritter and

Cameron. Reeves scores Plummer with a single, then the agony is endrd by Reeves being thrown out whilo
