The C'yclnrnnm Crowded Thronshoui IIvenlnK I'euture of the 31 o ml ii k I'nrnde. "Wonderland," the Indianapolis Elks' beautiful place of amusement In the Cyc lorama, was opened last night, and hun dreds of people thronged the place before 3 o'clock. It was a fantastic sight that met the eye of the spectator as he entered the handsomely decorated and brilliantly lighted hall. Pretty girls swarmed the floor, dressed in becoming costumes, and others attracted the unwary to the booths, where anything from a package of pins to a houseful of furniture wa3 exhibited and could be purchased. The west side of the large building was occupied by side shows, ar.d the din of the "barkers" min gled with the orchestra and cries of pretty girls, who ran from one man to another be seeching them to "take just one chance," resembled a miniature midway. The opening night was a success. Many thought so who were caught by wily of ficers and hustled away to the court, pre sided over by Miss Justice (Mrs. Rush Bronson), and fined anything from 10 cents up. Police Superintendent Taffe was one of the first victims. No pull could prevent the unfortunate from paying a fine. The more prominent the man the more often he was arrested and fined. Charges from dis orderly conduct to highway robbery were placed against the victims. Some were fined for entering the German village and imbibing the liquids, while others were fined for entering the village and not im bibing. Mrs. Uronsan, in the role of the twentieth-century Judge, dispensed "Jus tice" as quickly as possible. The defendant was given no opportunity to defend him self or appeal from the JucTge's ruling there were too many others to be tried to waste time hearing the pleas of men who offered excuses. FRKTTY GIRLS SELL CHANCES. In the Wonderland one might take a chance on a raffle of any article from a flower to an automobile, and also a build ing lot in South Indianapolis. Automobile chances are sold by men, but chances on other articles are sold by young women. The vaudeville entertainment, one of the free attractions, occupied the capital letter place on the evening's programme. Nor man McDermott, Iron Jaw juggler, headed the lijt of entertainers. He broke Iron spikes and crowbars with his teeth, in ad dition to performing other f'ats of strength. Ethel Copeland and Maud Hen ley, the premier dancers; Karnatz, the ma gician; J. Russel Powell, soloist; Donohue brothers, acrcbats, and others furnished the entertainment. There will be a change of bill daily. The opening of the Wonderland was a most pretentious affair. In the morning President Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland and Senator Fairbanks, representing the United States; King Edward of England, the Czar of Russia, the King of the Sandwich islands, Oom Paul. Queen of Bavaria, and kings and queens of Europe and the Orient arrived at the Union Station, and were met by members of the Elks' Lodge. The crowned heads were escorted through the principal streets, the first carriages being occupied by President Roosevelt, Senator Fairbanks. Admiral Dewey and Admiral Schley. King Edward and Oom Paul fol lowed. Thp other crowned heads also oc cupied carriages. The grotesque features of the parade were the best ever seen in Indianapolis. The military escort was composed of the Indianapolis Artillery and j the English Zouaves. When the visitors and the escort arrived at the Cyclorama the artillery fired salutes to the notables. The Wonderland and bazaar will be op n every afternoon and evening this week, and the receipts will go to the fund for fur nishing the Elks' new home. ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Financial Statement Submitted and Olllcerit Kleeted. The congreagtion of St. Paul's Episcopal Church last night held the annual busi ness meeting and election. There was a small representation present. R. II. Sulli van, treasurer, reported that the receipts for the fiscal year ending Dec. 2, were $10,172.27. Of this amount $3,SG5.63 was col lected for pew rent and $l,öl.3...t was the amount of the service and Easter collec tions. The expenditures have been heavy and but $6.28 remains In the treasury. Of the amount expended $2.10") was for the pavment of temporary loans. The con gregation is well pleased with the financial showing an.l it is left with a debt, ex clusive of the bonded debt, of only $1,300. The various auxiliaries also made reports of th? year's work. The meeting adjourned and then Im mediately reconvened and went into the election cf officers. A. Q. Jones was elected senior warden and T. L. Sullivan junior warden. The seven vestrvmen elected are: W. J. Ilollidav. E. C. Miller, M. D. King. H. R. Rliss. J. A. Barnard, Lafayette iVrkins and E. S. Peck. The six first named were elected on the first ballot. A second ballot was taken for the remaining vestrymen, with J. W. Winters, J. W. Hottzinan. Alien C. Conduitt and Mr. Peck In the field. Five ballots were taken betöre Mr. Peek was elected, he and Mr. Winters .running a close race and tying on nearly eveiy ballot.

Rathbone assumed charge of the middle division of the rural free delivery with offices in the Majestic building, yes terday morning, succeeding Frank M. Dice.

A HEAVY FIRE LOSS I11G I'OI Il FREIGHT DEPOT IS COX SIIJEIIAI1LY DAMAGED. Knllrond ÜlTIcial Sny the Loss AVIH lie Somewhere Iletvreen S20,0t0 and $10,000. HEAVY DOORS A HINDRANCE FIUHMEV AVEIIC L' NADLE TO GET AT THE FIIIE QUICKLY. All Iteeord nnd Papers Saved nnd Driftine Will De Carried on an In it n I To-Dny. The mere fact that the Big Four depot for incoming freight at Delaware and South streets wa3 protected by steel doors, preventing firemen from getting into the building last night caused a loss by fire of anywhere from $3),(.)0 to $W,tXX) more than would have resulted had the doors been of wood. At 9 o'clock fire box No. 61 was pulled b?cau5e of the fire. It was discovered by clerks working on the second floor of the building who smelled smoke, and at once gave the alarm. Clerks rushed both ways around the building and warned others In the offices. So fast did the fire burn that by the lime V. G. Chapln, the cashier, got some of the papers in the safe, he was unable to get down the stairway and was forced to get out through a second-story window. He hung on the window ledge until the arrival of the fire department and a ladder was put up for him. A number of other clerks In the freight office next to the place where the fire started were almost overcome by smoke before they could get out. "Within a few minutes after the arrival of the fire companies from No. 2 hook and ladder, a second alarm was sounded. So threatening did the fire become that a third alarm was turned In a few minutes later. The fire started In the section known as No. 1, being the north freight room. It burned with great rapidity and it was not until after the arrival of the companies called on the third alarm that the firemen were able to get at the fire and fight it with telling effect. The sides of the build ing are made up mostly of casings and doors all of which are of steel. Firemen In attempting to cut through them with axes broke one after another and finally were forced to abandon that method of getting at the fire and go to the second story and the roof which had quickly burned through in several places. After about half an hour several of the steel doors were opened, having been battered and bent until they were forced inward. A STRONG BREEZE. Fourteen streams of water were at one time running Into the building. A strong breeze from the northeast greatly hindered the firemen, especially those working on the west side of the building. The smoke and steam were so dense at times that a lantern a few feet away could hardly be seen, and the men were obliged to stop frequently for fresh air and to be relieved The freight section of the building con sists of three parts, between them being fire walls. The fire was In No. 1 at the north end. It fast worked its way to the south end of the section and the firemen attempted to follow it. Not being able to get at the blaze from advantageous points. only small portions of the section could be covered by streams at one time. When the streams were withdrawn for a few min utes the fire would break out again with seemingly as much fierceness as before. and it was not until after 11 o'clock that the fire was under control. The cross fire walls between Sections 1 and 2 protected the latter to a great ex tent and the fire barely got through the wall, and did but very little damage. The night force of clerks was very busy gathering up the valuable records and put ting them in the safes or carrying them out to places of saftty. At the time the fire broke out Superintendent Van Winkle was in his office working on a lot of corre spondence. He went out and viewed the destructive work of the flames until the fire was under control and his office was cleared of smoke, when he returned and finished his work. He said it was not possible to make any thing like an accurate estimate of the damage done. The second floor of the freight sections was filled with goods in storage, the value of vhlch was unknown The lower floor, he said, contained mer chandise received during the day from in coming freights and not delivered. The building, he said, was worth about $50,00), having been erected in 1S9Ü. He thought very little damage had been done to the building, as the walls had not been injured and the fire had been confined almost wholly to the one section. FROM $3nXiO TO $10,000. He thought $30.0"0 to $10,000 would be a large figure at which to place the loss, all of which was covered by insurance placed at Cincinnati through the firm of Adam Gray & Co. General Agent Andrew C. Wood arrived at the depot after the fire was under con trol. In company with John Q. Hicks, gen oral yard master, he went through the build ing, including the burned section ani de cided that the loss was small. Ho thought $i".rt would cover the damage to the building, the merchandise In transit and all incidental expenses resulting from the fire, The chief engineer, he taid, would be on hand early this morning and repairs would begin at once. Although business at this time is unusually heavy, he thought lit tie inconvenience would result, as the com pany has plenty of room which can be utilized. None of the tracks or platforms were damaged. Night Watchman Kaylor said he had been thronen section No. 1 about ten minutes before lie saw the fire department running up to the building as ho came from the out tund freight hcuse. He said there was no sign of fire when he left the building. The fire is supposed to have resulted from an electric licht wire or from an arc lamp from which a spark dropped into crates of china which had been In storage for Holl- v e g & Reese and moved from the second fioor late in the evening. These crates, it was said, were directly under one of the arc lamps. The freight section of the building is two stories in height and at cither end is: a three-story structure used for offices The upper floors of these parts are used for storing records and had the lire teached them there would have been a loss of many thousands of dollars. The rooms upon ex amination were found to be free from uamnge except that occasioned by smoke, which was very light. The firemen were given much praise for the manner in which they worked and the effective work done under existing condi tions. Few who saw tlv tire and the progress it made o quick! v had anv thought except that it would quickly cat its way through the tire walls and destroy the whole tuui ling. It was. however, con lliud to the one section. The entire build ing is feet long and about 0 feet wide. Superlnti -r.de-nt Van Winkle thought the trv would hardly lnconcvenionce merchants lor the reason that most of them who havo len looking for holiday goods took them out during the day and all of the mer- h-n.Hm ilpstroved wa. nt th.- kI.i nln IV ii-.il'.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - . n 'H 1 rlety. As none of the records was destroyed the company will be able to advise con siiueti whose goods were destroyed and thpj- will be able to reorder without th delay which vrould result from a loss o the records. RUMF0RD IS SENTENCED. He Munt Serve Thirteen Months for t Stealing Mnll Mntter. j In the United States Court yesterday Frank L. Rum ford pleaded Kuilty to the charge of violating postal laws. He was t clerk in the Indianapolis postodce for eleven years and was finally arrested fo; taking special delivery letters from bun-? dies of mail.

They Were Adopted by the Donrd of Trade a. Year Ago Rou- tine Iluslneas. The governors of the Poard of Trade last night took formal action in behalf of the Indianapolis Southern Railway Company in its effort to secure a franchise to enter Indianapolis. The matter was brought be fore the board when a letter was read from John Stout, a merchant of Paoli, who point ed out the advantages of the Indianapolis Southern road being built as soon as pos sible. He said that very few goods were purchased by Paoli merchants and mer chants in that part of the State in Indian apolis on account of the poor shipping facilities. He estimated that not more than 5 per cent, of the goods sold by Paoli merchants came from Indianapolis. He re quested the Board of Trade to use its in fluence with the Board of Public Works in the matter of granting the Indianapolis Southern a franchise to enter Indianapolis. The governors decided to send the letter to the Board of Works this morning and also a copy of the following resolutions, which were adopted last year by the Board of Trade when the Indianapolis Southern road was first projected: RESOLUTIONS RESURRECTED. "Whereas, owing to "the urgent request of the merchants and manufacturers of the city of Indianapolis, and of the merchants and manufacturers along the line of the proposed Indianapolis Southern Railway urging the Board of Trade to do all In their power to give moral support to the parties undertaking the construction of the Indian apolis Southern Railway, and "Whereas, the statement of facts made by tho officers of this company as to the resources along the line of this road which will be made tributary to Indianapolis as a market, and the development of the sec tion of the country through which they go, and which heretoforo Indianapolis has not been able to reach, and "Whereas, in addition to the above ad vantages that can be secured by the con struction of this road, it will also afford two lines direct to the south, thereby en abling Indianapolis to secure the southern and southwestern markets that they have not heretofore been able to reach; "Resolved that the board of governors of the Board of Trade of Indianapolis ex tend to the officers of the Indianapolis Southern Railway our cordial support in this undertaking, promising thm that this board will do all in its power to assist them and will heartily co-operate with the merchants and manufacturers, believing that the building of the Indianapolis South ern Railway will be of untold advantage to the business interests of our city." The governors considered the advisabil ity of the Indianapolis Board of Trade withdrawing from the National Board of Trade. A resolution to this effect was offered and it was said that the Indian apolis board might as well withdraw as the Chicago board had withdrawn and there were no benefits to be derived from retain ing membership in the national organiza tion. Others differed from this opinion and it was decided to bring the matter up at a subsequent meeting of the board of governors. A HAWAIIAN CABLE. A communication was received from Representative John B. Corliss, of Detroit, asking the Indianpolis Board of Trade o support a bill he will introduce in Coh gress for the building, operation and main tenance cf cables from the United States to the Hawaiian islands, Philippine islands and other countries to promote commerce. The management of the cable lines, the bill provides, is to be placed in the hands of the postmaster general, secretary of war and secretary of the navy, they to regulate charges for messages other than government business. The board adopted resolutions favoring the bill. ; In answer to a letter received from the president of the Chicago Board of Trade asking the co-operation of the Indianapolis board in having the tax removed from sales made on exchanges the secretary was directed to reply that the Indianapolis board does no trading on the floor and pays no taxes and therefore is not inter ested in the matter. E. B. Bacon, chairman of the executive committe of the Interstate-commerce Con vention, held at St. Louis recently, wrote to the local board that efforts will be made to secure the enactment of such amend ments to the interstate-commerce law as will render it moro effective. The com mittee desires the co-operation of commer cial bodies of all cities. The board referred the matter to a special committee, com posed of Edgar II. Evans and Arthur Gil lett, representing the millers, and S. B. Sweet, representing the railroads. I. S. Gordon recommended that the sec retary of the board send letters to manu facturers in all parts of the country that have been burned out or contemplate mov ing to other locations, naming the advan tages offered to manufacturers in Indian apolis.

The association will discuss nrfmiiim lists, attrnrtlnns and arranee dates for next year. Secretary Downing said yesterday that the Indiana rair win no doubt be held the week of Sept. 11.

Henry Mayer, a Fp.rra Hnnd, Tells of n Kisht of Three Men That He Witnessed. The body of an unknown man with a bul let !-ole and several bruises on his head was found yesterday morning on the farm of B. M. Morgan on the Madison pi'xe about five miles south of the city. The body was found by Mr. Morgan when he went to Lick creek to get a load of sand. In the hand of the dead man was a revolver, and it was at first supposed he had committed suicide, but later Henry Mayer, a farm hand, appeared and told of a fight Sunday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock, which led to the belief that the man had been murdered. Mayer said he was sitting on the J., M. & I. track near where the body was found- The man later found dead asked Mayer if there were any fires along the creek. Mayer pointed to a burning log and then the man said he would go and get a drink at the spring, the location of which he seemed to know. A few minutes later Mayer said he saw two other men digging at the root of an old tree near by. The man who had been talking to him shouted at them and then jumped behind a fallen log. He con tinued to shout to the men, one of whom dared the man whose dead body was found to fight. At that instant the man behind the fallen log drew a revolver and fired at the two men. Mayer ran away, but before he came to a stop in the middle of a cornfield some dis tance away he heard many other shots. He said nothing of the fight and thought little of it until he heard of the dead body being found. He said he was positive more than one revolver was used and that the two men returned the fire. The bullet wound was in such position as to indicate the aim of his assailant had been true, the bullet striking him as he held his head above the fallen log. The other wounds on his head had the appearance of having been made with the butt of a revolver. In the re volver found in the hand of the dead man there were but two empty shells and none was found upon the ground. Several per sons living in the neighborhood said they had heard a number of shots about the time Mayer said the fight occurred. He said the two men were running from the place when he stopped to look back from the cornfield. They separated, one running eastward and the other north along the track. Detectives Eugan and McGuff, who went to the scene of the tragedy, arrived before Mayer had told his story, and they were until that time of opinion that it was a case of suicide. Mayer said the two men who ran away had the appearance of tramps. That vicin ity, and especially along the railway track and the creek, is a sort of rendezvous for tramps. The dead man did not, however, have the appearance of being a tramp, at least of tha hobo variety. He wore a pair of corduroy trousers and a coat lined witfi corduroy, a blue shirt and a soft hat. He was about thirty-five years of age and weighed about 170 pounds. In his pocket was $1 in change. Tho body was taken to Wiese's undertak ing rooms, where an autopsy was held yes terday afternoon. The autopsy failed to show which one of the wounds resulted m his death. The body had not been identi fied last night. There, was nothing in the pockets which would" give a clew to his identity except a memorandum book in which there appeared the names of "Harry Wilson" and "Fred O. Mason" or "Moran," written in an almost illegible hand. Neither of the names was thought to be that of the dead man. but rather a memorandum or account, since with each name there were a few figures. POULTRY AND PET STOCK SHOW. TIte Annual Kxhlhit Will Open at TomlirtHon Hnll To-Morrovr Night. To-day will be the last day for entries in the poultry and pet stock show which opens to-morrow night in Tomlinson Hall. All day yesterday the secretary was busy registering new entries. Wisconsin.
