Grand—*“Al Field’s Mlnstreln."
The annual visit of A1 G. Field’s minstrels
to the Grand last night k*ft an impression
better than any Field has made in several
years. He has a chorus and orchestra for
a first-class show and a collection of solo
singers who receive encores to almost every
song. A number of new songs were given
with taking burlesques on the old familiars
and all worked in with a season of fun fur
nished by the clever end men. including
Billy Van, Dan Quinlin, Tommy Donnelly,
Doc Quigley and A1 Field himself. Billy
Van is one of the few remaining experts
at mouthing the negro dialect and is a
continual laugh provoker whenever be is
on the stage. There are also some clever
boy singers with the company with Master
Georgie Jones at the head. This youngster
has a voice so nearly like Mora's as to sug
fest the female baritone with every note.
le sings Mora’s ’’Little Boy in Green”
with less effort, if not so dramatic, than
Mora did last year, when she first gave
it here. There is also a good collection of
specialties with the show, including Ollie
Young, with a remarkable exhibition with
the Indian clubs. His jugglery suggests the
cleverness of the Japanese experts. The
Cornalla family of acrobats do a regular
circus act and the acrobatic comiques,
Manola and Miller, on the horizontal bars
are up to anything seen in that line. The
minstrels gave two performances to large
houses and then left for their autumn trip
through the north.
Notes of the Stance.
The Corbett-Fitzsimmons right pictures
give not only the fourteen rounds of the
big battle, but also the preliminary and
after scenes. Those who have seen the
pictures say everything is as clearly shown
as the veriscope can make it.
” \ Hired Girl,” which will be seen at the
Par*, to-morrow and the rest of the week,
is the latest creation of Charles E. Blaney,
author of a number of successful farce
comedies. It is a musical comedy. There
are catchy songs and choruses, specialties
and funny situations; also seventeen girls
handsomely costumed. ‘‘The Paper City”
will close with two performances to-day.
’’Superba” should get Its share of fair
visitors next week at the Grand Opera
House, for it Is full of novelties in the way
of new mechanical tricks, ballets, special
ties and optical illusions. The scenery and
transformations are the most ambitious ef
forts of the Hanlons. The cast includes
Charles Guyer, the brothers Kossi, Louise
Traux, Nellie Daly, Eugenia Dingens, Anna
Btannard and Eleanor Carroll.
The programme offered by the White Ele
phant Company at the Empire this week
eeems to please. It is made up after the
usual run of shows of its class, with two
burlesques and an olio. The Empire will
be right In line next week, having two
first-class attractions to offer. Commenc
ing Monday matinee for the first half of
the week Clifford's Gaiety Company will
present the new burlesque, “His French
Doll,” introducing a strong company of
artists, headed by Barney Fagan and Hen
rietta Byron. The latter part of the week
will be occupied by' Weber & Field’s bur
lesquers.

WALLACE FOSTER AT NfAGARA
His Experience with One of the Ex
tortionate Restaurants.
A dispatch from Niagara Falls tells how
Wallace Foster, of this city, resented the
action of an eating establishment that
charged him an extortionate rate at the
falls. It says:
Capt. Wallace Foster, a prominent mem
ber of George H. Thomas Post, of Indian
apolis, was a visitor here to-day. He had
spent his time during the.morning in sight
seeing and at noon he was induced to walk
into the small restaurant called the Gen
esee, at the foot of Falls street. This res
taurant is run by Thomas O’Connell, who
also runs a saloon adjoining it and has a
solicitor out in front. Captain Foster had
a very ordinary meal and said that while
he would not begrudge 30 cents for it, he
thought that amount a very generous one.
When he arose to go he handed a woman in
charge of the place a stiver dollar and
stood waiting for the change. She took
the dollar and dropped it into a drawer and
offered nothing in return.
“Captain Foster is quite deaf and stood
for a moment puzzled at the barefaced ac
tion of the woman, and then demanded the
change. With a serene smile she told him
that the meal was sl, and there was no
change corning. When the truth dawned on
the veteran he glanced around *he smafi,
cramped little shop and at the m ike-up of
those w'ho are running it, and then decided
that he was a victim of barefaced extor
tion. He waited no longer, but went at
once to police headquarters. Justice Mc-
Kenney issued a summons for O’Connell to
appear before him and also the woman.
O’Connell is not an unfair man, it is
claimed, and he was ignorant of the facts
urtil he was brought into court. The
woman looked sullen and angry.
“When the charge was read and the story
explained, O’Connell at once apologized for
the woman and handed Captain Foster
back the sl. Captain Foster at once Lulled
out a lifty-cent piece and gave it to the
woman, who took it with a jerk. Then the
old soldier started to give the woman a bit
of advice, but she turned on her heel and
walked away. Captain Foster said that he
regretted nothing more than this incident.
He felt that he with all the other veterans
had been treated most royally both in Buf
falo and everywhere about Niagara Falls
until he unfortunately found his way into
O’Connell’s restaurant; He objected to be
ing robbed in such a manner and feit it a
duty to protest.”
THREE POLICEMEN TRIED
DIMV DROPPED FROM THE FORCE
FOR PERSECUTING A WOMAN.
♦
Green, II is Partner, Fined—Another
Insulting Policeman Cautioned
to Let Drink Alone.
The Board of Safety last night disciplined
three patrolmen, one of whom it was neces
sary to dismiss from the force. Patrolmen
Gregn and Dunn were charged wfith
conduct unbecoming an officer in entering
and searching the house of J. C. Jackson,
1608 Nineteenth street. It was shown
that Dunn’s conduct was especially bad.
He tried to force his attentions on Miss
Ella Allen, cousin of Mrs. Jackson, and the
testimony went to show that he asked to
include Green and Mrs. Jackson in the en
gagemen't. He w r as repulsed, and he after
ward Mrs. Jackson’s home in the
middle of the night. The patrolmen claimed
that the house had a bad reputation and
that neighbors complained that many men
frequented it at night. This was not sub
stantiated, however, the complaining neigh
bors not being present to make their corn
plaints to the board. An additional charge
was made against Dunn by Emory Dildine,
a boy living with his parents at 1912 Mar
tindale avenue. He and Frank Myers were
standing in front of the Atlas engine works,
when Patrolmen Dunn and Green came run
ning toward them and began to search
them. Dildine objected to being searched
and Dunn hit him. The board decided to
dismiss Dunn from the force and fined
Green fifteen days’ pay.
The other case was against Bert Miller,
who runs the center district, including the
“levee.” He was charged with a brutal
assault upon Edward Denman, a repre
sentative of the Journal of Commerce, of
New York. Denman was with a woman
and Miller struck him, and then allowed
him to go to his hotel. Miller was cautioned
to let drink alone and to not let a com
plaint of this nature reach the board again.
He was also fined ten days’ pay.
FOR BROAD rYpPLE INJURED.
Friday a Special Day at the Park-
Coroner’s Investigation.
The coroner’s investigation of the Broad
Ripple explosions confirms his belief that
the wreck was caused by natural gas. The
employes of the gas company are positive
that the chemicals In the drug store are re
sponsible for the damage, but stronger evi
dence is to the effect that gas was the
cause. The coroner does not think that any
prosecution of a criminal nature can result
from the explosion.
The Indianapolis and Board Ripple Rapid
Transit Company has decided to give a
benefit for the injured persons. Friday
will be made a special day at the park,
and excursion tickets, good for the round
trip to the park and for most of the amuse
ments, will be sold at 25 cents each. All the
receipts will be given for the benefit of the
persons injured by the explosion.
It road Ripple Citizens Meet.
A meeting of citizens was held last night
at Broad Ripple In the interests of the re
lief fund for the sufferers from Saturday’s

one a permanent committee to take charge
of all receipts intended for the sufferers.
This committee, is composed of Charles
Florander, Milton Likins and James Brady.
James R. Henry, of the State Bank, will
act for the committee in the city. The other
committee is composed of twenty women,
who will aid in disposing of tickets at the
park on Friday. The Broad Ripple Electric
Railway Company will sell coupon tickets
at 25 cents each, good for transportation to
and from the Ripple on Friday over this
particular line. The holders of these tick
ets will also be entitled to a boat ride, a
trip on the “switchback” and a spin on
the merry-go-round. About twenty-five
citizens attended the meeting last night.

KELLI M IN THE BOX.
Though Nervous at First, He Finished
Like a A etcran.
The Millers contributed two more games
yesterday to the long string that has given
Indianapolis a firm hold on the pennant.
They were aggressive enough in the first
to give the leaders rather a close race of
It. Kellum did the Indianapolis pitching,
and did it well. He was a little nervous at
the start, but soon settled down and for
the last seven innings pitched like a vet
eran. Flynn played an inning in the first
game, and was then relieved by Kahoe,
Wood taking the latter’s place behind the
bat. Manager Watkins thought it well to
save Flynn for the games at Columbus to
day and to-morrow. The sun was hot yes
terday, and the little shortstop’s head
bothers him considerably every now and
then.
Indianapolis secured such a lead in the
second game that Foreman took things
rather easily, and, though the Millers
scored five runs in the first two innings,
tho leaders kept adding to their string
right along, so the result was never in
doubt. Hutchinson was touched up freely
in most of the seven innings. Both teams
fielded poorly, and the small crowd was not
sorry when Manassau called the game at*
tho end of the seventh, so that the players
would have plenty of time to catch their
trains.
THE FIRST GAME.
After retiring the leaders without a run
in the first the Millers opened on Kellum
as if they were going to scare him out of
the box, though their hits were lucky little
affairs. Eustace went out from third to
first and the next three men landed on the
ball for a base each. With the corners
filled Kellum forced in a run with a gift to
Roat. Kuehne’s fly to McFarland sent in
another, and then Ganzel hit safe to center,
scoring two more. Tiabald flew to Mc-
Carthy.
Watkins’s men proceeded to get into the
game iri the second. Motz opened with a
safe hit and stole second. Kahoe fouled to
third, but Roat let Stqwart’s grounder get
through him and Motz came home. Kellum
struck out. but Miller missed the third
strike and Stewart made two bases on the
error, scoring on Wood's fly to right. Hog
riever hit to right center for a home run,
sending Kellum in. Gray went out from
short to first.
After Herman’s strike out in the second
McCarthy dropped Eustace's fly and the
latter made three .hut;was run out
on the line trying to score on Miller's
grounder to Gray. Stewart fumbled Letch
er’s grounder and Parrott came along with
a two-bagger to right, scoring Miller.
Letcher was caught at the plate trying to
get in on the same hit.
Indianapolis soon tied the score, McFar
land getting a base on balls in the third,
stealing second and coming in on Kalioe’s
single to left, after McCarthy and Motz
had gone out. Kahoe was caught stealing
second. Stewart walked in the fourth, but
was forced at second by Kellum. Wood
was passed to first and Hogriever's safe hit
to center sent Kellum in. Wood was caught
at third on Gray’s grounder to pitcher and
McFarland went out from third to first.
McCarthy’s home-run hit to right center
added one in the seventh. With one out in
the ninth McCarthy hit safe to right but
was forced at second by Motz, who scored
on Kahoe’s two-bagger to left. Stewart
flew to pitcher. After the second inning
the Millers could do little with Kellum’s
left-handed twisters and he shut them out
for seven innings. Score:

THE SECOND GAME.
Hogriever reached first on balls as a
starter in the second game and Letcher
dropped Gray’s fiy. McFarland sacrificed
and McCarthy hit to Hutchinson, who
tossed the ball to Miller. "Hoggie” made
a head-first slide and Miller dropped the
ball. McCarthy stole second and Gray came
home on the throw to that base, Kuehne's
return not being quick enough to get him.
Motz hit to left for a base, scoring Mc-
Carthy and reaching third on Miller's fail
ure to stop the throw home. Wood's two
bagger to left sent Motz in. Stewart went
out from third to first and Kahoe on a fiy
to short.
Eustance’s base on balls, singles by Miller
and Letcher, and Kahoes fumble of Par
rott’s grounder gave the Millers three runs
in their half. The next three men were re
tired in gpod shape. Indianapolis got these
three runs back in the second, when with
one out, Hogriever and Gray got safe hits
and scored on McFarland’s triple to right
center. McFarland came in on McCarthy’s
fiy to Letcher. Eustace misjudged Motz’s
fiy and it went for two bases, but Wood
flew to Parrott.
Hutchinson hit to left center for three
bases in the Minneapolis half of the second.
Eustance and Miller followed with singles
and Hogriever muffed Letcher’s fiv. There
was one out before all this occurred, and
Indianapolis was lucky to get off with only
the two runs that came in, Parrott flying
to Motz and Roat going out from second to
first.
Stewart walked in the third and stole
second; Kahoe flew to Parrott. Foreman
was given his base, but Hogriever forced
him at second. Gray’s safe hit to left sent
two runs in. as “Hoggie” stole second just
before it was made. McFarland went out
from short to first. McCarthy’s hit, a
steal, Wood’s three-bagger to left center
and Stewart's fly to Parrott earned two
more for the leaders in the fourth.
Ganzell’s hit, a steal and Tiabald’s single
gave Minneapolis one in the fifth. Wat
kins’s men ran their score up three runs
higher in the sixth on Rout's fumble of
Motz s grounder. Wood's hit to right, Stew- j
art's sacrifice, Kahoe’s triple to right center i
and a wild pitch.
The Millers’ last two runs were scored
In the sixth on Kahoe’s wild throw to uii
of Letcher's grounder alter two man were I
out. and Parrott's home-run hit to left

the Brooker boy in the forehead, just above
the eye. He was knocked senseless and it
was some time before he revived. He was

and then sent to the home of his uncle.
The physician says the injury will not result
seriously.

Baseball Note*.
The St. Louis and Newport, R. 1., teams
played a lively exhibition game yesterday.
The score stood 6 to 6 when darkness came.
Those four from Minneapolis came very
easily. The leaders have eighteen more
games to play—six w ith Columbus, five with
Detroit and seven with Grand Rapids.
Indianapolis is now so far ahead in the
race that it is only a question of how high
the percentage will go. If Watkins’s men
keep it over the .700 mark they will do
something no other pennant winning team
in this league has Keen able to do.
The Indianapolis team left last evening
for Columbus. Manager Watkins took
twelve players on the trip. Foreman being
left at home. Philiips will probably pitch
to-day and Goar to-morrow. Kellum went
along as an emergency pitcher. Flynn will
play short. Foreman will pitch the open
ing Detroit game here Friday. The season
is rapidly drawing to a close. “Double
headers” will be placed here every day next
week except on Friday.
