SPENCER'S ARTESIAN TOLL
Excursion of Ladies and Gentlemen to a Place
That Premises to Be a Fine Resort.
Yesterday morning about fifty ladiea and
gentlemen went down to Spencer on tho
Vinccnnes railroad to look at the artesian
well, which is likely to attract const dera
ble attention next summer. Thero were a
number of ministers among them. Revs.
Baltzly, Lucas and Van Busklrk, and sev
eral physicians, among whom were Drs.
Waterman, Brayton, Todd, Cline, Tatter
eon, Eastman, Hurty. Sollis Runnels, C. I.
Fletcher and Wagner. There were other
distinguished guests, belonging to neither
the clerjry northo medical profession, and
these were headed by General Cohurn and
Professor Bell.
On arrival the party were received by a
large gathering of ladies and gentlemen of
Spencer and conducted to tho residence of
Hon. I. H. Fowler, where they were hand
somely entertained, tho ladies having pro
pared a dinner for tho visitors. Following
the repast a number of pleasant speeches
were made by both visitors and visited, tho
latter being well represented in bright say
ings" of Judgo Franklin. Mr. Fowler and
Mr. Calvin Fletcher. Tho artesian well
was visited, and the company strolled
about tho beautiful grounds of
Mr. Fletcher. enjoying as pictnr
es4jne a bit of landscape as Indiana
ailonls. The sol object of the exenraion
was to show tho gTeat artesian well and
its inviting surroundings, and all the visit
ors wero charmed with the location, beau
tiful even in mid-winter.
The company, which was formed some
tim ago.nowhas ample, capital forth pur
pose of building a sanitarium and summer
hotel at Spencer, and will probably begin
operations as soon as the weather will per
mit. The physicians who accompanied th
party spoke in the highest terms of the
medicinal properties of the water.

THEY TAKE A STEP FORWARD
A Commercial Club That Is lo Assist in
Advancing Hie City's Interests.
It Will Bring Young Hen Into the WorkEn
thusiastic Sentiment for Immediate Action
Leads to Preliminary Arrangements.
A meeting of representative citizens who
feel that thero is need in Indianapolis of a
kind of work in promoting tho city's inter
ests which can best be done in a new com
mercial organization, was held yesterday
afternoon, in tho Bates House club-room.
Enthusiastic interest in the purpose of tho
movement was manifested, and good feel
ing, with an earnest desire to bring to
gether in organized and harmonious work,
for tho general publio welfare, ail classes
of citizens, characterized the meeting. The
majority of those present were members
of tho Board df Trade, and a discussion
of bocjo length arose on the action of th
board's committee in recommending con
sideration of tho commercial club project.
It had been agreed that the meeting should
bo held for tho purpose of forming an or
ganization before the board's committee
made public its repOTt favoring considera
tion of the matter, and a few of the gentle
men present, notably Judge Ayers, Edward
Hawkins and M. S. Huey, thought it might
be advisable to await the result of th board's
public meeting before taking action. Tho
majority, however, were strongly in favor
of proceeding to carry out tho purpose of
the meeting, with the idea of co-operating
with tho board, aud inviting its aid. It
was argued that there was need of a kind
of work which th board has not been pre
pared to do. It was regarded as doubtful
if it could well nndortake inoro than it
already has in hands, aud it was believed,
for various reasons, that a new organiza
tion, of wider scone and larger membership,
would be more successful. It would surely
receive more hearty support from the y oun g
tr men, whose aid is of the greatest impor
tance in such a movement as is contemplat
ed. As it wasthosens'jof tho meeting that a
commercial club should be formed, "it was
believed advisable to proceed at once with
the organization m pursuance of thepurposo
which brought together those present The
pood intentions of tho movemeut would
commend it to tho Board of Trade, and it
would surely receive the approval and
co-operation of the boards members.
Certainly the two organizations would
not conflict. Remarks of this nature
were ruado by C. E. Corliu, Otto
Stechhau. A. L. Mason, Harry J. New.
A. F. Potts, fieorgo T. Porter, Frank 11.
Blackledge, Worth Merritt, Nathan Mor
ris, W. H. Eastman, Louis H. Gibson, S.
E. Kauh and others.
Incidentally, there were somo remarks
about the work the club should do. Col.
Eli Lilly, the chairman, thought the build
ing association scheme suggested a prac
tical and easy method of raising mouey for
tho purpose of carrying on the work. Geo.
Porter thought that instead of the
city tryiug to have the arsenal con
verted into a gun foundry an ef
fort should bo made to show
that Indiauapolis is tho best place in tho
country for a gun foundry, and that tho
arsenal, with its present location, build
ings and surroundings should be loft un
disturbed. Thero is no good reason why
we should not have both the arsenal and
the gun foundry, and it would be worth
while to try to secure the latter as an ad
dition to our industries. Mr. Pottstbought
that a great change could be brought about
by making it unpopular for any citizen to
speak in dispara gement of Indianapolis.
It was resolved to form the organization,
and articles of incorporation were adopt
ed. They provide (1) that the nam
of tho organization shall be tho
Commercial Club; (2) that its ob
ject shall bo the promotion of the com
mercial interests and the general welfare
of the city and the State; (3) that tho cap
ital stock shall b 25,000, divided into 5.
(XX) shares of 5 each, and (4) that tho club
shall not bo committed in nn.v manner to
th advocacy of any candidate for public
office, nor shall the directors commit it by
resolution or otherwise, on any public
question, but tho directors may refer to a
general meeting any public matter that
may be deemed proper for discussion or ac
tion. A committee was appointed to preparo
by-laws, to nominate directors, and to in
vite tho Board of Trade meeting to co
operate with tho club. This committee is
composed of A. F. Potts, A. L. Mason. Harry
S.New. Charles E. Coflin,OttoStechhan,.
H. Eastman and William Fortune. It was
decided to hold another meeting at tho
Bates House, Saturday afternoon, at 4
o'clock, to receive a report of this commit
tee and completo the organization. All who
are interested in th city's prosperity, and
aro willing to aid the new organization aro
most cordially invited to b present on that
occasion.
ROBBED niS BROTflER-IX-LAW.
A Boy, tc Relieve Himself, Implicates His Sis
ter In Stealing from Her lliiihud.
William Turner, a colored boy, eighteen
years old, was arrested on a charge of grand
larceny at noon, yesterday, by detectivo
Thornton, who had been assigned to the
caso by Chief Splann. Tho trunk of Geo.
H. Faison, Turner's brother-in-law, wa9
broken open and robbed of a con
siderable sum of money, last Tues
day evening, at Faison's house. No.
21C West New York street, where Tur
ner was boarding. Faison claims that
between $500 and $GT0 was taken on tho
night in question. When Faisoa reached
home from work at tho Hotel English,
where he is employed, his wife informed
him that Turner, who is her brother, had
opened tho trunk, taken the money ami
left the premises. Tho robbery was reported
to Chief Splann, who at onco put Thorton
to work on the case. Turner could not bo
located that night, but persistent search
and inquiry secured the information that
he spent part of Wednesday at th houso of
Bichard Gilchrist, colored, on Athou street.
The house was shadowed, and Detective
Thornton captured his man there.
When Turner was arrested he made a
somewhat remarkable statement to the de
tective. He freely confessed the robbery,
nut claimed that he secured less than $100.
Being detected in the act by Turner's wife,
he declared, he at onco turned over the en
tire amount to the woman. She, on the
other hand, declares that Turner, when dis
covered in the commission of the deed,
threw a bunch of keys and forty-tive cents
in silver at her feet and dashed from tho
house with the balance. No money was
found in possession of the prisoner.
Caused by Losing Ills Footing.
Dr. Charles W. Frlnk, acting coroner in
the absence of Dr. Wagner, went to Broad
RlFple yesterday to hold an inquest over
the body of George Parsley, th young man
who accidently shot himself while
hunting on Tuesday afternoon.
The unfortunate man was stand
ing on a stump watching for game
which the dogs were expected to litish,
when he lost his footing and slipped to th
ground. The hammer of his gun struck
tho stump aud the weapon was discharged,
tearing oil a part of his chiu and otherwise
rautilatingthe head. A verdict in accord
ance with the facts was rendered. Tho
deceased leaves a young wife and oue
child.
Taking Money Out of th Treasury.
The Central Hospital for Insaco drew
521,2SU9 from the State Treasury yesterday,
$T02.12 being for repairs on tho buildings,
$1,126.92 for clothing and 61D.4M.G for main
tenance for the month of January. For tho
Deaf and Dumb Institution a maintenance
warrant was drawn for last mouth amount
ing to $C,ltta.ll.
Third District Census Supervisor.
Sidney Conger, of Flat Bock, has been
appointed census supervisor of this, the
Third Indiana district. There is no more
popular or earnest Republican anywhere
than Mr. Conger. He is a man of untiring
energy, and will carry into his work a de
sire to accomplish it to th minutest de
tail. Mr. Conger was tho joint representa
tive in the General Assembly of 1$S?7 from
Marion, Hancock and Shelby, and was one
of its most active working members. His
census district comprises Delaware, Fay
ette, Hamilton. Henry, Hancock, Johnson,
Marion, Madison, Bush, Randolph, Shelby,
Tipton, Uuion and NVaj'no counties.
AFIER A RECREANT HUSBAND.
A Deserted Wife and Promised Bride, Togeth
er, Seek Revenge on a Gay Deceiver.
An excited woman of middle age appeared
at County Clerk Wilson's office yesterday,
and startled that official by asking if thero
was any law in this State to
punish a woman for whipping her
husband. Mr. .Wilson gravely assured
her that such a law existed, and
she then proceeded to tell an interesting
story of woman's trustfulness and man's
perfidy. She gave her name as Esther Rose,
of Cincinnati, and exhibited what ht said
was a certified copy of a license for her
marriage to one Frank E. Rose, which
event, she says, occurred in that city sev
eral years ago. She had just arrived here
to scok her husband, whom she denounces
as a gay deceiver, declaring that he has
been masqnerading in Indianapolis as a
single man and is about to marry a worthy
young lady of this city. She inquired
whether a license had been issued for the
marriage of the couple, and seemed greatly
relieved when answered in the negative.
Finding that she could not chastise her
truant husband with the sanction of the
law, the irate woman concluded, as
the next best thing. to have
him arrested, and called at the
police station later ia the day for that pur
pose. Snperintendent Travis listened to
her story, and detailed two officers to as
sist in the search for the man Rose. Mrs.
Rose, when seen by a reporter, talked quit
freely about her marital trouble. She was
accompanied to this city by Miss Katio
Schultz, who says she is another of Rose's
victims, as far as a promise of marriage
goes. She has with her a number of
tender missives from him. The two
women talking at the same time
to'd their harrowing tale of wrong and du
plicity. Mrs. Rose says when she came to
this country from England, several years
ago, she was possessed of considerable
property. After their marriage, she 6tates.
Rose became improvident, and squandered
$15,000 belonging to her in a very
short time. When her means were about
exhausted he deserted her. aud sho could,
get no trace of him for some tun. This
was in Cincinnati. When she next, heard
of him he was living in another part of
that city, and, according to the statements
of Mrs. Rose and Miss Schultz, was paying
attention to the latter lady in the guise of
an unmarried man.
Mis Schultz declares that Rose was
very devoted, and that their wedding-day
Lad been fixed. Tho
wronged women compared notes and joined
issues iu a common cause. Rose, ucenting
the battle from afar, could not face tho
storm brewing, and lied tho city. They
traced him to Indianapolis, and since reach
ing here, they say. they have ascertained
that he is again passing as a single man
and is engaced to marry a very pretty young
lady living oii Atwood street. Rose is
about forty-fivo years old, and is not pre
possessing in appearance. When last seen
yesterday the two indignant women were
in hot pursuit of the object of their wrath,
and his will bean unhappy lot if they over
take him.
A DEFICIENCY REPORTED.
The Minnesota Examiner Advises the Closing
Up of a Building and Loan Association. .
Agents of tho American Building and
Loan Association, of Minneapolis, havo
met with considerable success in this State
in promoting tho interests of that concern.
The association has had no general head
quarters for Indiana, but controlled its
agents directly from the home office. Thoi j
operations have been conlined chiefly to
the northern part of tho State, whero a
large number of shares iu tho association
have been sold. Ono agent said recently
that during the past year ho met with re
markable success. Ho sold as high as
100 shares in one month, and at
no time for a like rjeriod did
he sell less than four hundred. fThe
association is one of those that is national
in its character, assuming to do the same
business on a vast scale that is transacted
by local loan and building associations.
Men experienced in that line of business
have expressed doubts as to the American
being able to continue long on such a largo
system. Their views have been verified by
the conclusions reached by Mr. Kenyon,
Cublic examiner of Minnesota, who has
een looking into its aitairs.
This examination was made on the chargo
that the transactions of the American camo
in couilict with Section 4 of tho Minnesota
law regarding building, loau and saving as
sociations doing a general business. That
section provides that for every loan made
a note noa-negotiable or boud secured by
first mortgage on real estate shall bo giveu
in double the value of the loan, and satis
factory to the directors, and shall be accom
panied by a transfer and pledge of tho
shares of th borrower to tho association.
It also provides that tho shares so pledged
shall be held by th corporation as collat
eral security for the performance of the
conditions of ssid uoto or bond and mort
gage: provided that th shares, without
other .security, may, in the discretion of
the directors, be accepted as security for
the loans for an amount not exceeding their
withdrawal value.
In his report to the Attorney-general of
Minnesota, Mr. Kenyon said that it was un
safe and inexpedient for the American to
continue to transact business. Ho sub
mitted to that oflicer the following show
ing of tho association's finances, as they
appearod Dec. 7, 18SD:

Cash in expense fund 2,751.49
Total $1,131,719.70
Excess of receipts over assets... $74,718.23
After transacting business for two years
the examiner states that tho association, in
addition to the deficiency of 74,718.28,
has paid to agents a sum estimated at
S'XG.OOO. These agents procured subscrip
tions to the stock of tho concern. "The
association," continues Mr. Kenyon in his
report, not only wautsfrom subscribers to
stock the payment of fees to relieve it from
tho burden of expense to secure such sub
scriptions, but also exacts from its bor
rowers almost th entire expense of
appraising, making abstracts, and
other expenses connected with making
loans, thus making the shortage in the
assets to appear as having been brought
about by tho expense of receiving, caring
for and disbursing th receipts. The de
ficiency appears to be nearly 0 per cent, of
tho total sum received, and I know of no
loaning business that can safely be pur
sued where the expense for all purposes
reaches that percentage. An additional
reason that makes it appear to mo that
said association should not continue to do
business is the fact that on Aug. 2, 1NS9. and
Aug. 10, li&9, said association invested a
large sum. aggregating $200.(H)0. in thestock
of tho German American Fire Insurance
Company, of St. Paul, in direct violation of
the law, and in further violation of said
law the said association has taken a second
mortgage on real estate for securities of
moneys loaned."

HELPING RA3IABAL
The Local Circle's Interesting Meeting, at
Which Encouraging Speeches Were Made.
Tho annual meeting of tho Ramabai
Circle was held yesterday afternoon, at the
Tabernacle Church, there being more than
one hundred ladies and a few gentlemen
present. The circle was formed two years
age, at the residence of Mrs. May Wright
Sewall. when Pundita Ramabai herself
was here to establish it. The purpose of
the organization is to found a secular school
in India for the widows of that country.
At the time it was organized it was
the largest circlo iu the United
States, ami it now has on its rolls
the names of about ono hundred and
fifty; members, each one of whom pledges
to give $1 annually for ten years, at which
time It is expected the school will be in
such a condition as to require no more
help from its friends in this country.
Mrs. Sc wall presided vesterday, and called
first for Rev. J. A. Rondthaler, who gave a
cordial welcome to the members of the
circle. He said it was very proper for the
meeting to be held in that church,
as it was there that Ramabai held her
first public meetings in this city. He
also said the society had cause for congratu
lation in the progress of its woTk since
tho school opened, the 11th of last March,
with two pupils, and there are now twenty
three. Another cans was Ramabai's faith
in American Christianity, shown in the
fact that this year there was an increase of
$2,000 over the .contributions of last year
by tho fifty-seven circles. Still another
cause for congratulation, said the Doctor, .
was that of tho toleration of th society
among people. Following the Doctors)
welcome, the report of last year was read by
the secretary. Mrs. R, L. Dorsey, and in it
slie quoted Ramabai as having said. "We
are dependent upon the United States for
help."
Mrs. Cleland, the treasurer, then sub
mitted her report. She received from the
Girls' Classical School $100, and from mem
bers of the society $75.
Rev. Dr. H. A. Cleveland was next on the
programme for a speech, his subject being
"Ramabai's Christianity." He said that
human natnro was very much th same all
the world over, and that it must have a re
ligion and faith. And he pictured, in
eloquent terms, the great faith Ramabai
must have had to begin the
work and then to make the long journey
around tire world to let the world know
what it was. Rev. J. Hilliard Ranger, rec
tor of Christ Church, talked of "Ramabai's
Character." II likened her to the grain of
seed, which was her labor, begun iu India,
and which would spread to all parts of the
Orient. His language was forcible, and,
while he said he was not thoroughly ac
quainted with the work, he knew enough
to be able to indorse th great movement
which had been started by this energetic,
loving woman, for the good of her fellows.
Rev. W. F. Taylor, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, also gave an interesting
address on "A New Aspect of Woman's
Work in the Orient." He said Ramabai
was a constant object lesson of what
women can do, and in the country whero
woman had reached such a low condition
sho was showing the men what women can
become. By her noble example and work
sho lifts them up. and she is honored by
men of high and honorablo caste iu India.
Ramabai was one of the first who tried to
help women iu her own country. She is
equal to any man in her own country in
scholarship, and with all her learning sho
is doing the Master's work. Mrs.
bewail, the last to speak, believed
that Ramabai is tho most poet
ical figure in the world to-day
She said that in a talk sho had with hor.
Ramabai said it was her ambition to have
a school at every shrine m India. Mrs.
Sewall made a plea for members, each of
whom would have to pay only a dollar a
year for seven years.
The annual election of officers was then
held, all the old officers being re-elected by
Dr. Cleveland casting the vote for the
Circle. Tho officers are:
rrcsidentMrs. Jlay Wright Sewall.
Secretary Mrs. K. L. Dor.'ey.
Treasurer Mrs. John K. Cleland.
A deficit of $30 from last year was met by
collections, and a largo number or new
pledges wero secured.
HAD A REVOLVER WITH TlUl
A Car-Driver, Disputing a Policeman's Author
ity, 13 Arrested and Put Under Bond.
John Jones, a driver in tho employ of the
Citizens' Street-railroad Company, was ar
rested, at the corner of Illinois and Wash
ington street, yesterday, afternoon, on a
charge of carrying concealed weapons. Ho
was standing in front of the Panhandle
railroad offices, when patrolman La
Porte told him to move on,
as instructions had been given
that officer to put a stop to the congrega
tion of men and boys at that point. Jones
did not comply with th request, but, the
officer states, began arguing the question.
Being told a second time to clear the side
walk and failing to do so, LaPorto told him
he would be forced to put him under ar
rest. At this statement, the otlicer de
clares, Jones placed his hand behind
him as if to draw a weapon, and
La Porte caught his arm. When the
man was searched a revolver was
found in his hip-pocket and taken from
him. Ho was conveyed to th police sta
tion, but at once gave bond, and was re
leased. Jones declares that he made no
attempt to draw th weapon, which he car
ries for protection against footpads when
driving, but that his arm was accidentally
thrown behind his body in the sculHe with
the officer when he was being placed under
arrest. Ho says he was waiting at the cor
ner to go on duty from the trausfor-car at 3
o'clock.
AMUSEMENTS.
ENGLISH'S OPERA-HOUSE "NATURAL GAS.,?
. "Natural Gat drew a large audience to
English's Opera-house last nighty and
proved as entertaining as ever. Donnelly
and Girard work bard and successfully,
their specialties being so good that the
peoplo never tire of them. The "summer
season" act will always b new, because it
is really one of tho cleverest specialties
ever given to the public. It is so meritori
ous, so much better than the average run
of this tart of thing, that it has many
years of usefulness before it. Last
night's audience nearly tired the
comedians out with encores but they re
sponded as long as the material held out
and their supply was pleasantly large.
Next in attractiveness to this is the whist
ling trio. Joie Sutherland, Donnelly aad
Girard. The little lady is a clever dancer
and tho act was encored as often as the
"summer season" song, the trio doing some
fantastic dancing which delighted the
audience. Mayou Kelso has a nice con
tralto and her song was vigorously ap
plauded until she responded with a
pretty lullaby. Lillian Barr sang "If tho
Waters could Speak as they Flow" very
sweetly, and the entire list of specialties is
? leasing, with tho exception of some of
lack's stories. Mark JSullivan'simitations
are some of them excellent, others poor.
Rachel Booth is the same lively Jimpsy,
and skins aronnd the stage in tho same
fashion with which sho danced
herself into favor in Hoyt's skits.
Jennie Malon fills Amy Ames's
place in tho cast so well that the latter is
not missed in the character of Kitty Ma
lony. It is not necessary to say anything
concerning tho piece itself, which is well
known here as being merely a clever frame
work for a lot of specialties, and dependent
for success on the ellorts of Donnelly and
Girard, who always manage to surround
themselves with a good company.

Coroner Dove's Finding in Regard to the Re
cent Disaster on the ilonon at CarmeL
At noon, yesterday. Dr. Dove, coroner of
Hamilton county, rendered the finding that
Mm Nellie Eubank. Charles O. Deming,
Mia: Hattio Hensley, Miss Mary E. Hoover,
Mattie and Lola Oldham came to their
death by means of an accident to train No.
1, upon which they were passengers, on the
Monon division of the L., N. A. & C. rail
road, three-quarters of a mile north of Car
meL The Coroner found, from the evi
dence, that the accident was caused by the
overturning of the rail, caused by raising
the track by "shlving." He further noted
that the evidence showed that when about
the middle of a three-degree curve, 1,000
feet in lenjth, ovtr Wilkinson's run, while
the train was going at a speed of thirty
miles an hour,' a part of it was derailed,
carried over the ties and npen the trestle
work, tearing ' up the track and
breaking down the trestle, pre
cipitating the combination car and
one -coach down the embankment
on the west side of the trestle, and tho
ladies' coach and sleeper on the east side,
killing the persons named, and wounding
others. The engino remained on the track
and the tender with it, the ladies' coach im
mediately taking fire and burning the
bodies of Hattie Hensley, Matti and Lola
Oldham. He found that the employes in
charge of the train were competent; that
the trestle had been repaired and strength
ened two weeks prior to tho accident, and
that its condition did not directly contrib
ute to the accident.
He further found that on the curve ITS
feet north of the trestle, one rail had been
raised by placing blocks from to 1 inch
in thickness on 17 consecutive ties, and
that spikes of the usual length, 5
inches, had been used to secure thm, but
that the ties were not sound at the point
where the spikes were driven, and the road
bed being soft the rail had turned aud let
the wheels of one of the trucks drop off on
to the ties, causing tho train to leavo the
track and go through the bridge. In con
clusion, ho deemed it a dangerous expedi
ent to use "shiving" on such a curve when
many of the ties are unsound. He said that
the persons responsible for this defective
tract deserve criticism and censure.
