DROUGHT TO PUBLIC ATTKXTIOV II Y
AX APPLICATION FOIt DIVOIlCE.
The You u u: Mnn of Hyphenated nnie,
Theatrical Aspiration ami I xorlouM
Disposition In Wanted for IHgramy.
Olga M. Oxley-Tetley began suit yester
day for a divorce from Wm. Oxley-Tetley.
The defendant is better known to the pub
lic as Fred Lorraine, which was a stage
name he assumed when he was the leading
performer at the Armstrong Park summer
theater. In December. 1K00, the defendant
married Olga Metzger and, according to the
complaint, they lived together until Feb
ruary, IMG, and there Is one child as the
fruit of the marriage, Peter K. Oxley-Tetley,
two years old. The complaint set out
some of tho incidents in tho defendant's
career. It shows that In February, ISM. he
represented himself as a single man and at
tempted to secure a license to marry Olive
North and that in March, he suc
ceeded in marrying Flora Ix?wis ut Areola,
111., and is now a fugitive from justice as
a bigamist. Oxley-Tetley or Lorraine led
a fast life while in this city. He was . at
first a gentlemanly fellow and at once be
came popular. He was handsome and eas
ily made friends with the fair sex. Some
of his theatrical ventures were not finan
cially successful and he soon began to
show his real character. He drank heavily
and his friends say became unbalanced
mentally. About the time his wife alleged
he attempted to marry Olive North he ap
peared at tne county clerk's office and ap
plied for a license. The deputy clerk knew
him and it was refused him. He got hold
of a blank marriage license, however, and
filled It in himself. When the mother of
Olive North learned that Lorraine was .
married man she followed him into a clown
town office and publicly horsewhipped him.
After this Lorraine's best friends forsook
him. His wife was living with her mother
and refused to have anything to do with
him. She turned him out. ana lor a while
he hung about the city, borrowing and
begging enougii money to live on. Then
he disappeared and was next heard of at
Areola, 111. Here he was the leader in an
amateur theatrical performance given by
society people. He fosed as a single man
and won the affections of Flora. Lewis.
daughter of a wealthy citizen. Marriage
was proposed by the young actor and was
oppoteU by the girl's father, but the girl
was disposed to make a match of it and
an elopement was planned. The marriage
ceremony was performed and the couple
were about to board a train, when the girl's
father appeared on the scene and took her
home. Lorraine disappeared from there and
is now badly wanted for bigamy. The mar
riage to Miss Lewis was annulled by the
court at Areola.
Salt on Contract.
The Variety iron works of Cleveland,
through J. H. Webster, assignee. Is suing
J. E. Gibson & Co..of Logansport, In the
United States Court. Gibson & Co. secured
the contract to build a new courthouse at
Rochester. Ind.. tnd sublet to the plaintiff
the contract for the Iron work. The plaint
iff alleges that he was not paid by Gibson
& Co. and that the County Commissioners
of Fulton county refused to allow the clulm,
on the ground that Gibson & Co. had re
ceived the money. The case Is now on trial
and will require several days. Holman &
Stevenson, of Rochester, appear for the
Slalntirf and Gibson & Co. are defended by
udge Nelson, of Logansport, and C. W.
Smith, of this city.
When a Debt In a Debt.
The Supreme Court for the second time
has rendered a decision declaring that a
city debt becomes a debt when it is con
tracted Instead of when it is due. This
time the case was that of the city of
Laporte, which, after reaching- the con
stitutional 2 per cent, limit or Indebted
ness, contracted for the Gamewell fire
alarm system on the theory that the In
stallments by which It was to be paid for
did not constitute a city debt until they
became due. The Circuit Court also held
this, theory, but the Supreme Court re
versed the decision and held that tho con
tract could not be enforced, being a vio
lation of the law.
The llahltat of Serurlt le.
The Supreme Court yesterday decided
the tax case from Tippecanoe county
against the estate of Job M. Nash. The
County Board of Review had added to the
tax return of the estate $2GS,000 of bonds,
stocks and notes. The trustees of the es
tate sought to enjoin the collection of
these taxes on the ground that these were
evidences cf debt given to a citizen of
another State, and were simply held here
by an agent of the owner. The court held
that where 'funds were held In this State
for the purpose of doing business here
they were taxable In this State.
Charjretl with Connterf ettlnjr.
Deputy United States Marshal Wiley, of
Fort Wayne, yesterday brought to this city
George Benard and Lillian Barton, who
are charged with counterfeiting. They are
from Wabash. Three bad counterfeits of
the silver dollar Is all they are charged
with passirg. Some broken molds were
found in their possession. Commissioner
A Ivan Taylor at Wabash fixed the bail of
Benard at $300 and that of the woman at
They were unable to furnish the bond

CAN HAVE THE STREET
Tlin PENNSYLVANIA TO RE filVEX 11
TRICKS ACROSS DELAWARE.
Contract Prepared Under Direction of
the Board of Public Worbt "Work
of the City Sanitarian.
It is likely that a contract giving the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company permis
sion to lay seven tracks across South Dela
ware street will be completed and entered
Into by the Board of Public Works in time
to be referred to tho Council at its next
regular meeting, Jan. A, l's-JT. Such a con
tract is being prepared at the direction of
the board, as well as the proper ordi
nance for Its confirmation by the Council.
From the time the petition of the com
pany was made, June 17, last, the adminis
tration has looked with fnvor upon the re
quest and it has frequently been said by
the mayor and the board that they were
in favor of granting the company any rea
sonable favors. Just what disposition will
be made of the contract when It reaches
Council cannot bo foretold. A good many
of the councllmen are known to favor tho
company, while others have declared they
do not behove In giving the railroad such
valuable privileges without making them
pay for them.
Monday afternoon the board heard a
number of arguments on the. subject, much
opposition bteing shown by several prop
erty owners and their attorneys. After
the meeting It was announced that nothing
definite would be done for a few days. The
Journal accidentally learned yesterday,
however, that a contract letween the
board and the railroad company, as well
as an ordinance for Its confirmation by the
Council, has already been drafted. A
member of the Board of Public Works
said the contract has not yet been signed.
THE PARK PROJECT.
Attitude of the Prewent Conncll Xot
Favorable to the Project.
Since the Board of Bark Commissioners
has made public a plan for an extensive
park system, much comment is heard on
the project. About the most serious objec
tion that Is heard Is the assertion that,
while it will probably not be much of a
burden to taxpayers to purchase the parks
In the beginning, they will feel the cost of
maintaining them after they are once com
pleted. It is said it would cost the city
from $100,000 to $140,000 a year to keep such a
big system of parks In repair and pay gen
eral maintenance costs. It has cost $35,003
to maintain the present parks this year.
The request of the commissioners for per
mission to issue a half-mllllon of bonds is
in the hands of the finance committee of
the Council.
it seems extremely likely the present
Council will net accede to the request of
the commissioners. For a long time there
has been an undercurrent of levity when
this subject was discussed by the city
fathers. Many of them have frankly stated
they believed It foolish to make such a
large expenditure for park purposes, while
not a few have expressed a preference for
an expenditure for a city building. The
mayor has not committed himself as being
in favor of the Fall-creek boulevard; In
fact, he once said It seemed more necessary
to establish a system of small parks In the
southern and eastern sections of town. It is
regarded as more than likely that the Coun
cil will oppose the Fall-creek system, which
is the pet idea of the commissioners. A
councilman said yesterday he believed the
small parks suggested by the commission
ers were simply spoken of to induce an ap
propriation for the big parks.
Meat MuNt He Kept Within.
The State Board of Health has revived
the order requiring" butchers and meat
dealers to keep dressed meats inside of
their shops. City Sanitarian Clark has
been instructed to see this order carried
out in Indianapolis. The health Inspectors
will see that all meat and game vendors
comply with the rule. In support of this
order the Utate Hoard of Health asserts
meats hanging out of doors are likely to
become contaminated with disease germs
from refuse matter blowing in the air.
Crusnde ARalnst Spitting:.
A visit was paid to the city sanitarian
yesterday by Mesdames George Merrltt, T.
C. Day and Mary McGregory, of the
Women's Sanitary Society. They urned
that steps bo taken by the Board of Health
to abato the habit of expectorating on the
streets, in cars and other public places. The
subject will come up at the next Tegular
meeting of the board Jan. 6,
MEDICINE AND LEW.
Annual Mectins: of the Medico-Legal
Society of Indiana.
The annual meeting of the Medico-Legal
Society of Indiana was held at the Denl
ons Hotel yesterday afternoon. Charles L.
Holstein. president of the society, presided.
Although the attendance was not large the
meeting was in every respect a success,
and the members of the society believe the
interest fhown In the work gives promise
of greater things in the future. A paper
by Clark Bell, of the New York bar. en
titled, "Has the Physician the Right
Ever to Destroy Life." presented to the
thoughtful consideration of both legal and
medical professions many points of interest,
it was ably discussed by Drs. Eastman.
Steme, Earp and Ferguson of this city.
Dr. Newcomer, of Tipton, and Dr. G. Rey
nard, of Union City. Dr. F. J. Hodges, of
Anderson, addressed the society upon "The
Medico-legal Aspects of Nonunion of
Broken Bones," taking the ground that
this unfortunate result was the outcome
of factors usually other than lack of eare
on the part of the medical Attendant. This
subject also was thoroughly discussed by
various members present. These papers
and discussions so far exhausted the time
of the society that the following papers
were read by titles: "Some Phases of Ex
pert Testimony and its Relations to
Medical Law in Indiana." Dr. Albert E.
Sterne. Indianaiolis: "The Control and
Extermination of Bovine Tuberculosis
from th Standpoint of: ia) Medicine."

TO REFORM THE WORLD
OBJECT OF THE CRUSADE OF THE
TIIEOSOPIIIST .MISSIONARIES.
3Ir. Harding; Lecture Relation Be
tween Tlieoflophy and Masonry n He
- Seen It Brotherhood of Man.
Burcham Harding, the theosophist, lec
tured last night to a small audience in the
agricultural hall at the Statehouse. His
subject was the thecsophlcal crusade which
Is . now being made. Last June a band of
eight Americans left New York for the pur
pone of carrying the message cf "truth,
light and liberation for discouraged hu
manity" to all the nations. The party has
already reached India and will travel
through China, Japan and Australia and
reach San Francisco In March. Mr. Hard
ing said It Is the purpose of this crusade
to "rrtike It plain that man is a spiritual
being, not merely 'a hungry biped in a pair
of bree-ches,' as described by Carly'e, and
that liberation from present suffering can
be found by understanding and following
nature's laws, both physical and spiritual.
"The present time," Mr. Harding said, "Is
a fitting time for such a crusade. The day
of materialism is fast passing. The
Theosophical Society Is endeavoring to re
store a knowle 1e of the real, the spiritual
side of nature ;.nd man, to correlate the
spiritual and the natural worlds, for each
has its place and relation to the other as
cause and effect. If the body and its limbs
learn to follow the guidance of its spiritual
inhabitant perfect harmony reigns. Simi
larly, if this world can be prepared in a
fitting way, the Masters, the Divine Rulers
may once more return to live among us,
bringing an era of wisdom, of peace and
the highest felicity. The theosophical cru
sade is preparing the world for this hap
pier era. Jt carries a message of unity and
brotherhood."
The sjx-aker gave nn account of the work
of the Theosophical Society and of the
movement which resulted In the starting of
the crusaders. He said they are people
specially fitted for the work. He described
their itinerary and spoke of the good they
were accomplishing on their circuit of the
globe. He further stated that there arc no
millionaires behind the movement, but the
expenses are paid, partly by the crusaders
themselves and partly by contributions of
theosophists all over the world. And while
the crusade is being made local societies
throughout the United States, he said, are
making home crusades. The movement
aims to unite the world in a bond of frater
nal unity.
"The importance f tho work now being
carried on cannot he overestimated." de
clared Mr. Harding, "it is designed to save
the world, not froix the just deserts of evil
deeds, not to take away merited suffering,
for that would be illogical, contrary to nat
ural law and therefore irreligious, but to
teach a right understanding of man and
nature that mankind may be saved from
breaking the laws and so avoid incurring
the penalties.
"Two new agents have now come forward
to found a school of learning for the pur
pose of restoring to the world a knowledge
of the nature of the soul and the methods
of its higher evolution, and for the more
complete and systematic training of
neophytes qualified by actual attainment for
advancement into the 'greater mysteries.
Those obtaining this deeper knowledge will
become teachers and leaders of the human
race, consecrated to its service. The sym
bols and ceremonies of Freemasonry were
originally derived from the more ancient
'mysteries.' as all who have 'traveled the
burning sands' know. The ritual and cer
emonies, signs and passwords have been
preserved with great fidelity, but the real
key has long been lost, waiting for 'future
generations' to discover it.
"True Masonry and 'ancient wisdom are
virtually the same. Each is founded on the
brotherhood of man. The lost key and the
true philosophy can be found and will be
placed within reach of all those who unsel
fishly desire and work for their possession.
Masonry by gylph and ceremony dramatic
ally represents the progress of the neophyte
in the degree of his initiation. It Is only
by the union of the speculative and the
operative, or the .philosophical and the sym
bolic or actual, that the real meaning and
intent of either can be reaHzed the 'Mas
ter's Word' recovered, and the ancient
glory be restored. Such a result has now
become possible under cyclic law. The
masters are ready and have issued their or
ders. It remains for us to take notice
thereof and accept their offer of help. This
is a privilege that has not come to mankind
during many a wvary millennium of Ignor
ance and strife. Those who feel the sore
need and appreciate the opportunity will
respond gladly, and It has already been
demonstrated that the great work will be
done. No return is promised to individual
subscribers. The school must not only be
bul!t, but endowed. In order to secure Its
efficiency and permanency. That the time
is ripe for the establishment of the school
Is fully proved by the spontaneous subscrip
tion of $iO.GJO in cash and $15,000 In archi
tectural, engineering, electrical and other
work at New York on April 2ti and 27. In re
sponse to a public call made for this pur
pose. "The theosophical crusade is thus de
signed to carry to all races the message
of brotherhood and to lay the foundations
for bringing to tho world a knowledge of
divine wisdom, out of which must grow
peace, happiness, contentment and a. new
era of enlightenment for discouraged hu
manity." Mr. Harding will lecture again to-night
in the agricultural hall at the Statehouse.
WILL MARRY AGAIN.
Roby, or, Ciunnoln," and Ills Wife
Will Legalize Their Union.
A marriage license was Issued to Wm. V .
Roby and Mary J. Felumlee. This is the
man who is now known as ex-Patrolman
Gunsolus. The license was secured by CHnt
Lowe, son of Police Sergeant John Lowe,
who has been a warm friend of Roby's. The
marriage under the name of Roby is a mat
ter of form to settle all disputes as to the
legality of the marriage fourteen years ago,
under the name of Gunsolus. The cere
mony was performed yesterday while Rob
was still In led. His condition is now Im
proved, and It Is believed he will recover.
Portland' Diphtheria Epidemic.
Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the State
Board of Health, returned jesterday from
Portland, where he addressed a public
mass meeting the night before, which had
been called for the purpose of taking
measures to rid the city of diphtheria. The
Health Board of Portland had been en
gaged in quarrels, had declared the rules
of the State board Impracticable and had
permitted the epidemic to spread until
there has been nearly two hundred cases
in that city, fifty of them in one ward.
The mayor and Council had taken matters
in their own bands and ousted the Health
Board. After Dr. Hurty '.s address Mayor
Bergen Informed the meeting that the
rules laid down by the State Board of
Health would be followed to the letter,
that strict quarantine would be enforced
and that physicians would be required to
take the proper precautions as to clothing
and disinfectants to prevent the spread of
the disease.
Schoolboy Pilferer.
A diminutive specimen of boy named
Frank Meyer, aged eleven', whose parents
live at 121 East McCarty street, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon on the charge
of ietlt larceny. By his own admission th
boy is an old offender, despite his tender
years. He is charged with having stolen $3
from the desk of Miss Adams, a teacher at
public school No. 25. Last summer youn?
Meyer pilfered constantly from this school
during recesses and at noon hours. He told
the police that his father, who keeps a sa
loon at Delaware and Wyoming streets,
would not allow him to come into the place
because he had so otten robbed the cash
drawer, and he had not been In the saloon
for a year. He admitted that he had been
arrested four times before on the same
charge. While telling his history he did not
blink an eye. and spoke boldly In the man
ner that a boy masters his first exhibition
recitation at school.
Domn't Want Much.
The annual report of Purdue University
was submitted to the Governor yesterday.
The attendance for the year was an in
crease of five over the year before. The
university put out 3.000.000 pages of scien

rious other things, and suggests that $23.

In order to be ready for the royal recep
tion to be tendered Santa on his annual
visit, all Is rush now. Time Is short and
the gift must be "there on dot." The way
the buyers are looking and choosing Is In
dicative of hurry. The great number of
bundles that are seen going out from Paul
H. Krauss'a haberdashery is "proof of the
pudding" that this old furnishing store is
the Mecca for the caravans of seekers. The
beauty of all kinds of haberdashery this
year is irresistible, and when the looker
gets in among the large stocks shown by
Mr. Krauss, some article like a sumptuous
smoking jacket, silk umbrella, dress gloves,
dress-suit cases, bath-robes, collars, cuffs,
dress shirts, ladles' mackintoshes, garters
or dress shields, or a novelty in jewelry,
cane and umbrella sets and choice fads in
neckwear, is sure to be carried away.
