THREE SUITS BY ONE WAN.

W. H. Cooper Asks Damages Against His Father-In-Law. Suit to obtain $10,000 for the alienation of his wife’s affections, to secure possession of $9,800 held in trust and to quiet title to a farm and some town lots In Augusta, was brought by William H. t'oopor to-day against John Ellis, his father-in-law, and other defendants. Three separate complaints were filed In Superior Court. The suit for damages for alienation of bis wife’s affections is brought against the father-in-law alone. The complaint says that Cooper was married to Annettie Ellis, in Sullivan county, in 18»8. There are six children by the marriage. It is alleged that since May, 1902, her father has endeuvored to persuade his wife to abandon Cooper. On October 1 she left him he snys, and brought suit for divorce. The divorce was flenled by the court, and she came to live with him. However, she refused to accept him as her husband and, he alleges, her affection Is wholly alienated and destroyed. A second suit alleges that in 1888 the plaintiff, William H. Cooper, turned over *9,800 to his father-in-law to manage for him. In 1902, he says, he asked that it be returned to him, but his request was refused. Ten thousand dollars is the amount

now asked.

The suit to quiet title is against John Ellis, Joseph Ellis and the Security Trust Company, guardian of Joseph Ellis. It Is alleged that the defendants have disputed his title to thirty-three acres of lani

nvo lots in Augusta.

RAPID WORK OF BURGLARS.

Cash and Jewelry Taken from Home of Judge Vinson Carter. Rapid work on the part of two burglars netted them $60 or $75 in cash and silverware and. Jewelry to the value of nearly $300 yesterday afternoon at the home of Judge Vinson Carter, 102t North

Pennsylvania street.

Judge Carter and family left home at 4:10 p. m. and returned within an hour. During tho time they were gone, the burglars obtained entrance and departed with the money and valuables. It is believed that a “Jimmy” was used in forcing the front door open. A woman living next door observed two men ut the front door for quite awhile, near 5 o'clock, but supposed they were only ringing the

doorbell. , , . B M

A delegation of resident property owners living (n the vicinity of the opening of the first alley west of Hamilton street, from Tenth to Pratt streets, called on the Board of Public Works this morning, and remonstrated against the approving,of the final assessment a t roll for the Improvement. J. C. Stevenson was the spokesman and he represented to the board that when the property owners bought the lots backing on the proposed alley, it was with an understanding that an alley had been provided for. Under the resolution, it is necessary to cut seven and a half feet off the .lots on the east side of the alley. J. C. Fleming, who is included in the benefits assessed, objected to the assessment because he said that living away off of the alleys he did not get any direct benefits.' Fleming was informed that his property came within the 160-foot limit

General Assembly.

Engineer will Investigate. The board referred the controversy to the city engineer with instructions that he should investigate the conditions, as to the ownership of the land necessary to putting the alley through. The property on the west side of the alley is a part of. an unplatted strip that belongs to Mrs. Fannie E. Dodds who says she is willing for the alley to be opened if the board deems It advisable. A new petition was filed by Cynthia Rogers and others for the opening and extension of Vigo street, from Lockwood to Shelby street. This is one of the proposed improvements that ran the gamut of the former board, and which would have gone through but for certain political chicanery, as a result of which the old board rescinded all action on October 6. The new petition was referred to the

city engineer.

Several complaints were lodged with the Board of Public Works against improvements which George Kessler has been having in hand. One of them was made by M. O. Routh concerning the cement walks in La Salle street, from Roosevelt avenue to Twenty-fifth street. The other was made by E. M. Dewees on the improvement in Thirty-first street, from Clifton street to the canal. Last week Kessler was summoned before the board because complaint had been made against oilier work that he had pn hand. City Engineer Jeup has been instructed

to investigate the complaints. Will Report to Comptroller.

On advice of the Board of Works the city engineer will hereafter report directly to the comptroller the expiration of all guarantee periods on improved streets together with the release of bonds, coupons or other valuables retained as a guarantee on Improvements. Under the former administration the report was first made to the board and

then to the comptroller. The new proced- for the theatrical world,

ure has been adopted to expedite mat-

Kingan & Co. have asked the Board of Works to vacate Blackford street, south j of Chesapeake street, for a distance of one square. This was formerly known as

be seen under the management of Frank McKee on Friday and Saturday. As far as Indianapolis goes the coming of this play is another exemplification of the cart before the horse, as the burlesque of this play was seen last season when Weber A Fields presented “The Stickiness of Gelatine.” They gave a very fair reproduction of the first scene in the real play, which shows the deck of an ocean steamer. It fa a play dealing with society people, and is said to be wdtty and

unusually bright.

The show at the Grand this week has a number of good names on the bill. Marie Stuart and Clayton White head the bill in a new sketch. Then there are the three Nightons, acrobats; the Dillon brothers In a specialty; Sailor and Barbaretto, the "man and the pajama girl"; Charles Merritt and May Rozella In “A Put Up Job"; Mazuz and Mazette, as “the tramp and the brakeman.” and Humberty, a juggler, and Parker’s

John A. West and others.

HUSSEY CAUGHT IN CHICAGO.

Wanted in

Indianapolis for Up Dr. Allard.

Holding

Governor Yates, of Illinois, has honored a requisition for the return of Roy Hussey, who is under arrest in Chicago, and who is wanted in Indianapolis for the alleged holdup of Dr. Leander Allard on the night of October 80. Hussey was located In Chicago by Detective Haley and the police department there was instructed to make his arrest. The holdup occurred on the night preceding the wreck of the Purdue special. Dr. Allard was severely beaten and his money, watch and a diamond pin were taken. When the affair was reported to the police the robbery was associated with Hussey and a hunt was begun for him. Detectives Haley and Splann were on his trail and were about ready to lay their hands on him when the report of the wreck came and they were hurried to tho scene of the disaster. In the excitement Hussey escaped from the city. . He will he returned tq Indianapolis immediately. I ^ j ■ - BOTTLE PLANT AT SPENCER.

GIVE A FEW DAYS GRACE.

Butchers’ Union will Not Call Strike for a Time at Least The members of the Butchers’ Union, at their meeting yesterday afternoon, decided that they w’ould let. tho matter of the strike In the various Indianapolis packing-houses rest until the differences could be patched up through the nantional organization. The Indlanuoplis meat workers hope for an amicable settlement of the wage scale and are anxious for the small raise that they asked for. Operators of the packing-houses will be given a few days of grace to deliberate on the formal request for an increase in wages, wlch was taken under consideration by the employers, and then if the demands are not agreed to, a representative of the national organization will be sent to Indianapolis to conduct the light for the union. About thirty-five employees of Kingan & Co. met with their employers Saturday and stated that an increase in the wage scale would settle all the pending troubles. The men were cordially received, not as members of the Butchers' Union, but as employees of the packing house and though no direct promise was given them, they were told that the question of an increase would be taken under consideration by the managers of the packing-house. James Sullivan, the business agent of the union, was not present at the conference because Kingan & Co. refuses to treat with him. Sullivan is one of the more conservative men in the union and is opposed to the strike. TWO TRAMPS IN MAIL CAR.

Held

Up Brakeman with Revolvers

and Had Train Stopped.

Two tramps armed with revolvers were caught in a storage malt car attached to train No. 11, of the Vandalia line, which left this city Saturday night. Detectives believe that the tramps were “beating'' their way andn did not intend to rifie the mall. The tramps acted the part of fullfledged robbers. R. N. Hudson, brakeman on the train, entered the storage car to see that it was all right, when he was ordered to hold up his hands. The tramps were peering from a pile of sacks and

both held revolvers.

Hudson begged the men not to shoot and a minute later at their order he pulled the bell cord and stopped the train. The thieves backed out of the door. Nothing was taken from the car. They left the train at Ben Davis.a small village five miles west of the city. A half hour later William Ake, flagman at the Eagle creek bridge, was held up and searched by two men who are thought to 1ms those who were on the train Ake had nothing of value about his clothing and the robbers walked to-

ward the city.

Captain Kinney, who investigated the case, said he was of the opinion that the tramps were merely “beating - ' their way. The train came from New York and the tramps may have been in the car for some time. Delay for Murderer Knapp. [Special to The Imli&napoUs News.] HAMILTON. O., November 23—Lawyers Darby and Thomas to-day filed a motion in the Circuit Court to suspend the order for the execution of Alfred A. Knapp, the Indianapolis murderer, set for December 11. Knapp's case comes up on error in the Circuit Court Wednesday and the motion to suspend the execution will be argued then. It im very likely to be

granted.

Geraldine," cfyde^RcK^pUyT'in 8 which 1 0ne P rou(1 Spanish duelist fell to make Mary Mannering and her company^ will good his part of the duel, there were

cries of, “Open up; I demand to be let in,” at the doors of the theater, and then came a crash. The doors of the theater were broken open and, like a company of fire fighters, constable George Hallis and his

deputies rushed in.

All started from the stage, while the duelists of the play watched the advance of the constabulary forces. Before the constables reached the orchestra pit the lights of the house were turned out and the curtain went down, and a large audience sat In Intense darkness while Constable Hallis and his men groped for the stage. They finally got up to the curtain and then fought their way back on the stage. The lights were turned on by stage men and the curtain was rung up, disclosing the constables trying to arrest the duelist, who, sword in hand, only smiled at the audience, while the fallen duelist proceeded to appear more dead

than ever.

Audience Shouted Itself Hoarse. Constable Hallis then undertook to arrest others of the company. They refused to be interfered with and a stormy time was in sight of the audience, which shouted itself hoarse. Finally a squad of the city police' officers appeared. v They were preceded by Senator W. A, Kittinger, counsel for the theatrical people. Senator Kittinger requested the police to put constable Hallis and his men off the stage, and the police ordered Hallis and his posse to leave. They could not serve their writ, for the company and house management had been quietly arrested earlier in the evening by constable Bravy, on affidavits of information, and he was in charge. The constables had clashed and the trouble, bordering on a riot in the theater, was due to constable Hallis not knowing that constable Bravy had preceded him. Constable Hallis arrested two of the actors, alleging that they assaulted him, but he had to leave the theater empty-handed after securing bond for the appearance of the two actors accused of the assault, and also the promise of Manager Dickson, of the theater, that he would appear in Magistrate Van Pelt's court to-day, although under bond also to appear in Magistrate Lee’s court. Bond had also been furnished for all members of the company arrested by constable

Bravy.

Ministers File the Affidavits. The affidavits on which Constable Hallis undertook to make arrests were sworn to by the Rev. C. C. Cissell, of the First M. E. congregation; the Rev. W. P. Pearce, of the First Baptist, and the Rev. T. \V. Grafton, of the Central Christian. The Rev. Mr. Cissell, the Rev. Mr. Grafton and the Rev. Mr. Kent filed the affidavits. causing the arrests one week ago. Prior to that time a raid on the Sunday theater was caused by tho Rev. Mr. Marvin, of the Episcopal church. All of the cases up to those of last night are in the Circuit Court. The first one, a test case, in the Circuit Court, was tried before a jury, which disagreed after being out twenty hours. All of the charges have been Sabbath desecration, but Manager Dickson, of the opera-house, testified in court that he gave the net proceeds of the Sunday business to charity, and denied that he violated the law on charity performances. Actors Fined for Assault. In VanPelt's court to-day Corwin Lushmoor, a member of the company, was fined $10.90 for jabbing Constable Hallis with a sword, and Tom Burk, who essayed the roll of an Insane captive, was fined for having struck attorney Vermillion in the eye. No other members of the company were assessed to-day in Van Pelt’s court. , , ,, In Lee’s court the cases against the company were continued, and it is expected that they will be appealed to the Circuit Court THE LYNCHEHAUN CASE.

Jerome Sykes, as John Doe, in Harry B. Smith's and Gustave Kerker's musical farce, “The Billionaire,” will be seen In this city this season. He is a man of millions, so to speak, and invests his money In all sorts of schemes in order to lose some of it. He speculates in Wall street, builds a theater in New York and stars a young actress from the West and goes to Paris and plays the races at Longchamps, but still he can't “go broke.” “The Billionaire” will be presented here with the original New York Daly Theater production and cast. Miss Nellie Follis, one of the daintiest, brightest and most clever of the younger women on the stage to-day, plays the oppo-

site role to Mr. Sykes.

Aubrey Bouclcault was severely cut in the course of the sword contest in "Captain Charlie" last week in Johnstown. This duel Is said to be most realistic, and Mr. Bouclcault has been hurt three times since the beginning of his season. “Miss Bob White" has broken many records for big business and has opened several new theaters where capacity has been tested, but it scored in Atlantic City a record which is likely to exist for some time. It opened its season at the theater on Young s pier in that place. It had played "A Chinese Honeymoon’’ and was succeeded by “The Silver Slipper,” which holds the record for big business at Atlantic City. John Young, veteran lifesaver and fisherman, now proprietor of the amusement interests in the Jersey metropolis, freely acknowledges that he made more money off “Miss Bob White.’’ the play gave better satisfaction and he had more people on his pier during its two weeks’ engagement than at any one time since he has played to the amuse-ment-loving public by the sad sea waves. “Miss Bob White” has been booked for

English's next week.

“Not Guilty,” an old favorite at the Park, where the play has been presented for three seasons, was the bill there this afternoon, and will continue its engagement until Wednesday night. The play offers a story of the thrilling kind, with some of its important scenes in a picturesque mining region of Pennsylvania. The story concerns the plotting against Frank Rawden, in which an attempt is made to fasten a murder upon him, and for a time the effort is successful and holds in check the suit of this young mine superintendent for the hand of the girl whose father was murdered. When complications arise he flees to New York, where he clears his name of the ugly charge. There is a good deal of comedy in the piece, much of it developing in a New York court, where a breezy justice gives some terse interpretations of law. It is said that the production has undergone numerous changes since last seen here, and the company has been strengthened by a number of new players, chief among them being Monnie Emeral, Pearl Turner and Albert

West.

"Across the Pacific” will begin its last engagement at the Park with a matinee on Thanksgiving. At the close of the season Harry Clay Blaney, who heads the company, will take the produtclon and several of Its members to London. Next year he will have a new production. “Willie Live Around the World." It will be practically a continuation of “Across the Pacific, the success of which causes Mr. Blaney to hesitate in making a change. The company while in London will produce several plays by Mr l>lane\ s brother, Charles E. Blaney. A long list of specialties will be produced during the coming engagement at the

Park.

Dr. Spencer Withdraws Suit. Dr. M. J. Spencer has withdrawn his suit for $600 against the city of Indianapolis. When Spencer was formerly superintendent of the City Hospital he also served as superintendent of the detention hospital, fiom October, 1900, to November. 1901. The charter provides that when the City Hospital superintendent undertakes this work he shall receive extra pay to the extent of $500 a year. As he is now a city employe once more, Spencer has decided tc give up the claim, although he feels that it was well-grounded

Time Too Slow for Mall. [Special to The Indianapolis News.] COLUMBUS, Ind., November 23 -Influence has been brought to bear to have the carrying of mail by the Indianapolis, Columbus & Southern Traction Company extended from Franklin to this city from Indianapolis, but at a conference between Postmaster William A. Stevens, of this city, and William G. Irwin, general manager of the road, It was decided that the running time between this city and Indianapolis was too slow at the present time. When the running time can be shortened, mail will be carried on one of the afternoon cars Tor late afternoon distribution in the business district. The principal cause for the slow schedule is the number of stopping places —sixty between Indianapolis and Franklin, and more than half that number between this city and Franklin. This number will soon be cut down an<$ the farmers along the way will have to go to crossroads to board the cars. A change will also be made in the towns through which the cars pass so that there will be as few stops as possible. Terminal Facilities in Chicago. [Special to The Indianapolis News.] RICHMOND, Ind., November 23.—The Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville Railroad Company has arranged for terminal facilities in Chicago. The line is built to Griffith, Ind., and from that point the trains will be run over the tracks of the Chicago & Erie to Hammond. From Hammond into the Grand Central depot in Chicago the tracks of the Chicago Terminal Transfer Company will be used. Arrangements are under way to open this through service about the first of January.

What the Great Creatore Says of the JEWETT PIANO:

I JEWETT I

Gentlemen—I desire to offer my words of praise and thanks for the pleasure that I have derived from the use of one of your upright pianos. The tone is remarkably sweet and pure, and what I especially like is the sonorous volume of tone, which I think is rounder and more beautiful than any other upright piano I have ever used. The touch Is particularly even and its light repetition makes it an instrument of exceptional quality. With renewed thanks, believe me,

Yours very sincerely, GIUSEPPE CREATORE.

It pays to buy a good piano. See us about the great assortment of good ones, such as the Chickering, Jewett, Fischer. Vose. Braumuller. Stodart, Stewart, Behnlng, Wulschner, Kroeger and others. Cash or payments.

Pains in the Back Are symptoms of a weak, torpid or stagnant condition of the kidneys or liver, and are a warning it is extremely hazardous to neglect, so important is a healthy action of these organs. They are commonly attended by loss of energy, lack of courage, and some times by gloomy foreboding and de-

spondency.
