While Heilig; Hftcorteri to Police Court Caught After n Chase. John Snyder, arrested Feb. 11 and charged with petit larceny, escaped from the police yesterday morning as he was being taken from the jail to Tolice Court. He had planned well an escape and the execution was not at fault, but Snyder was soon back In Police Court. He had not reckoned upon the methods which the police might use to recapture him. It has been a custom for a policeman to escort two prisoners from the Jail, where they are kept on continued cases until trials are called. The patrolmen take one man on either side and hold them by the coat sleeves. Snyder's experience led him to believe that he could escape while being taken from the jail to the police station. He originated a plan of which the police men had not thought before and, of course, were not guarding against. In some man ner he got hold of a needle and thread and, after cutting off the lower part of each sleeve, deftly sewed the pieces on again with light thread and only a few stitches. When he got Into the street In company with Patrolman Stevens and another pris oner he jerked away. The threads broke and left Stevens with the armless portion of the sleeve, but not the prisoner. Stevens had another prisoner whom he could not leave, but managed to draw his gun and lire one shot at Snyder. He was afraid of hitting other persons In the street and did not fire again. The one shot attracted the attention of Captain Hyland and several patrolmen and they at once gave chase. The bicycle policemen were soon ridir.g about the neighborhood, and there was little prorpect of Snyder getting away. Snyder jumped Into a coal hole and found an exit on the opposite side of the build ing. He was chased through Court street, and when the officers thought they had him cornered he got away again. No trace of him could be found. Patrolman Shine, who knew him well, said he was formerly a pal of a man named Smith, who lived in the neighborhood. The officers .w ent to the house and received no response to the first knock at the door. When Captain Hyland knocked the second time It was al most hard enough to break the panels. A vornan partially opened the door and told the policemen they could not come in, a? the family was just getting up. That made little difference to the police and they crowded past the woman and followed Snyder out the back door. He ran through an alley and back into Court street and then started across the courthouse yard, followed by a half dozen officers and a hundred persons who had gathered to watch the chape. Shine followed about thirty feet behind him, and seeing that ho could not catch Snyder called to him to stop. When he did not obey Shine fired a yhot which came uncomfortably close to' the fugitive, who halted. In Police Court he was bound over to the grand Jury. He was arrested for steal ing shoes and first entered a plea of guilty, but before the case was called had it changed and then asked for a continuance, no doubt In anticipation of putting Into operation his plan for escape. JAMES BEASLEY'S ACT. He Tftok Chloroform In nn Attempt at Suicide. James Beasley, living on East Market street, near Pine, attempted suicide yes terday at 304 North West street by taking chloroform, lie took only a small part of what he had in a bottle, and it is not thought he would have died even had Dr. Jacobf. of the City Dispensary, not at tended him. The act was premeditated. His wife left him some time ago. lie has frequently called upon her and asked her to return to him. She would not do it. A few days ago he wrote her a letter, statin that on "Wednes day. Feb. l'J. he would call auln and once more plead with her. and that if she then refused to return to him he would kill hlm lf. He found her hanging- out clothes she h.id washed. He told her he had come for her iMiawcr. She said: "There Is room enough on this earth for both of us apart. If you want to die. why. go ahead." She went on about her work as uncon cerned though she had never seen or heard of her husband." He went into the house and drank a quantity of chloroform from a bottle he had shown to his wife. Another woman in the house found hin suffering on a couch and calif d the doctors. He will recovei. Mrs. Heasley ald she had tried him often enough, and became tired of supporting him, as well as herself and their children. YOUTH SECURES FREEDOM. Fred Foornmn Too A'onng for Severe Pnn I nli im cut.

At the naiilne Meeting the Officers Who Will lie Elected Todlnr Were Nominated. SOME PREMIUM AWARDS MADE INDIANA CAIIIIII'S OFF A MAJORITY OF THE Pni7.CS. The Grrmnn Houne Ilenutifnllr Dec orated for the Occnmlon I'lnb ornte Ilanquet To-NlRht. The principal business of the eleventh annual meeting of the National Carnation Society was completed ast night when the rt) visiting florists In the lecture hall of the German House approved the nomination of officers for 1W2, selected the meeting place for next year's convention and received the report of the judges on exhibition. From one point of view the paper read before the meeting by Wallace' R. Pierson, of Cromwell. Conn., on "Sterilization of Soil," was perhaps the most important feature of the night session. The nominations made last night are equivalent to election, since it Is the custom of the society to approve at the following meeting. C. W. Ward, of Queens, Long island, will be the president for the ensuing year, his name being the only one presented for the honor. Mr. Ward was formerly a leading florist of Detroit, and he had the enthusiastic backing last night of the Detroit contingent. For vice president two members of the society were nominated. Wallace K. Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., whose name was first placed in nomination, desired to withdraw, but was persuaded to wait until the meeting this morning. Henry Dalledouz, of Brooklyn, N. Y., the other named, it Is believed, will be the next vice president of the society. Albert M. Herr, of Lancaster. Pa., was again selected as secretary, and Fred Dorner, of Lafay ette, will be re-elected treasurer. These nominations will be formally ratified at this morning's session. At the invitation of C. W. Ward the society decided to meet next year in Brooklyn. MR. PIERSON S PAPER. Mr. rierson's paper on "Sterilization of Soil" was received by the society with In tense interest. The experiments which Mr. Pierson discussed were sufficiently new and original to claim the attention of the most skeptical, and the proved efficacy of his theories served to dispel all doubts as to the practicability of the Ideas outlined. The gist of his paper was that growers of carnations, as well as of other flowers and plants, may achieve far richer results com mercially and artistically if they will pay more attention to the soli In a scientific way. The soil In which plants are grown may be so thoroughly burned, Mr. Pierson said, that all grubbs. Insects, fungus and weed seeds may be exterminated. By a system of steam pipes the result may be achieved without injury to the ground. At tho conclusion of the address Mr. Pier son received the thanks of the body. The report of the Judges on premiums awarded was awaited with unusual inter est. The present meeting Is conceded to be the best In every way of any that has been held by the society." The exhibits are more numerous and of a higher grade than ever before. The standard of competition has been raised Immeasurably, and prizes and honorable mention at this meeting are con sidered to be more valuable than at for mer conventions. The Judges selecteel were E. Dalledouz, Paul Pierson and W. L. Rudd. It Is a source of gratification to Indiana carnation growers that Indiana carried off a large majority of the prizes. The E. O. Hill Company, of Riehmond, Ind., received almost as many first and seconds as the other competitors put together, in addition to medals valuable Intrinsically and for what they represent. The Hill Adonis car nation has created a veritable sensation in the horticultural world, and the most valuable prize of the society, a gold vase, was awarded the company for that variety. Cincinnati and Chicago companies were successful in securing awards, and the Graves Company, of Richmond, Ind., re ceived a number of valuable prizes. AWARD OF PREMIUMS.

The afternoon session of the convention, at which the first real business of tho eleventh meeting was inaugurated, was opened In the German House at 1:30 by an address of welcome from Mayor Uookwal- ter. The mayor was followed by Mrr. M. J. Vesey, of Fort Wavne. who on b-rhalf of the Indiana State Florists' Association gave the visiting carnation growers and florists from other States and cities a warm welcome. To buth addresses of welcome C. W. Ward, of Queens, Long island, mem ber of the executive committee of the so ciety, responded. He complimented Indian apolis highly and spoke of the city being the center of the great "carnation belt." President William G. Bertermann, of In dianapolis, who was unable to be present on account of illness, submitted his annual report to the society through the vice piesi dent, Fred Lemon, of Richmond. Ind. "The Indiana boys," he said, "are glad to have you with them in the great carnation belt of the countrv, where the best carnation blood originated. We will try." he con tinued, "to give you plenty of play without forgetting the work we have to do." The president was gratified to see that carna tions are growing in favor with everybody and are getting to be rapidly the most pop ular flower in the United States. An important feature of the president's address was his remarks on the unwisdom of increasing prices on flowers unreason ably. "It is a great mistake for the pro ducer and the commission man to place prices too high on carnations when the supply grows scarce." He was In favor of reaching some scale of uniformity of prices which shall be observed everywhere. He called the attention of the society to the fact that the carnation is growing in de mand as a summer flower, and recom mended research along the lines of experi mentation to ascertain whether the carna tion can be grown at night time under in candescent lights. The secretary's report was short and con cise. It dealt principally with details of membership. In Uhw, the report stated, the membership of the society was 175; now it is 271 and constantly increasing. From all part. -4 of the country, he said, he is receiv ing inquiries concerning the work and prog ress of the society, and the interest mani fested is of the healthiest nature. TREASURER'S REPORT. According to the report of the treasurer which was presented yesterday there will soon be a permanent fund of considerable proportions, the interest of which is to be used for the purpose of paying annual premiums awarded at the conventions. There is now Jl.Ouu in the fund, and it is expected that it will be increased shortly to $5.1100. The treasurer reported that the receipts for i;d were Js2S.r and the ex penditures $743X8, leaving a cash balance of 7.97. The committee on incorporation which was appointed at the last annual meeting presented Its important finding, it has been decided to incorporate the Nationa. Carnation Society under the laws of the State of New York and the articles pre pared by the committee were submitted by C. W. Ward yesterday afternoon. The committee on by-laws made no report, but will present one this morning. The paper yesterday afternoon was by E. G. Gillette, of Cincinnati. "The Flower Grower from the Standpoint of the Commission Man" was the general subject handled by Mr. Gillette, and he told the members of the society some plain truths. He said that It is the practice of some growers when they prepare flowers for sale to place with plants of a high grade some verv Inferior varieties. The latter damage the value of the entire lot, he said, and it is a practice which should not be tolerated. To enable commission men to obtain the best results, he said that growers should place carna tions in a dark room with water twelve hours before they were sold. It Is bad policy to sprinkle carnations after they are packed for sale, he said. BEAUTIFUL DECORATIONS. The rooms of the German House which are used by the' National Carnation So ciety in the exhibition are beautifully dec orated, not only with carnations of all hues, but with potted plants and stately palms. In the lecture room, where the ses sions are held, the stage is completely hid den with magnificent palms, and the halls of the west half of the building are also ornamented with palms. In the auditorium, where the carnations are exhibited, the walls are covered with smilax anel ferns. The stage is converted into a conservatory of palms. The vases of carnations which delight the casual visitor to the German House and excite the admiration of expe rienced growers are arranged on long tables running the length of the auditorium. The shades of color to be seen vary from the deep, velvety, wine red of the Roose velt carnation to the snowy white. There are pink blossoms in abundance; numerous varieties of lighter red; carnations striped with red and with yellow; some rich yellow and- others of almost every color but blue, and the growers say they may achieve that shade vome day. The growers that have exhibits at the German House are among the best known flower raisers in the United States. The E. G. Hill Company, of Richmond, Ind.. has gained a national reputation for carnations and is one of the principal exhibitors. The firm of Bassett & Washburn, of Chicago, have 5,000 blooms on exhibition. R. Witter staeter, of Cincinnati, and E. T. Graves, of Richmond, have valuable plants that re ceived awards. The society will meet this morning at 10 o'clock for the formal election of officers and to wind up the business of the conven tion. The banquet at the Grand Hotel to night will be the finale and the statement is made by the committee in charge that it will be one of the most tasteful affairs ever given In Indianapolis. FUNEKAL OF C. F. SAYLES. Resolution Adopted by the Fire In surance Association. The funeral of Charles F. Sayles will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Second Presbyterian Church, of which he had long been an active and influential member. The services will be conducted by the Rev. J. A.

The burial at Crown Hill will be private. In accordance with the ex pressed wish of Mr. Sayles, shortly before bis death, there will be no flowers. A committee composed of John R. Welch, John J. Reilly, Albert E. Metzger, Fred A. Gregory and Norton E. Alexander, of the Indianapolis Fire Insurance Association, of which Mr. Sayles was a member, yes terday adopted the following resolutions: "Whereas, Death has again Invaded our ranks, and we are gathered to mourn the loss of one of our esteemed and loval mem- f bers. Mr. Charles F. Sayles.

"In our departed friend every member of the Indianapolis Fire Insurance Association feels a personal loss. He endeared himself to the entire body by uniform courtesy, kindness and good will for very one, whether a member with small business or whether a member with accumulation of wealth and influence. "His career has ben one which did honor to our profession. His death leaver a gap which cannot be filled, and his memorj' will be constant with us. Be it "Resolved, That a copy of this resolu tion be tendereel to the bereaved family, and a copy thereof published In the pi ess of our city and one placed upon the records of our association."

WILLIAM W. HALL INJURED AX OLD AND "WCLI-KXOWX MAIL CARRIER 3IAY I1E FATALLY HURT. Hin Wnfjon Strack: ly n. Collejje-A ve nue Car Man Who Aftlted Him Also IJadly Brained. William W. Hall, of 2S1 West Fourteenth street, a mall collector, was severely, per haps fatally. Injured yesterday evening about 6 o'clock, at College avenue and Twenty-fourth street. He is about seventy years of age. and has been in the local postal service for many years. He was driving in his wagon across the tracks, and was struck by southbound car No. 207, in charge of Motorman Caton. His wagon was demolished and he was thrown heavily to the ground. His leg was broken, his shoulder sprained and he was badly cut about the head. He was unconscious when picked up and carried into L. T. Xash's drug store. The City Dispensary ambulance was called at once. Before its arrival a medical student entered, and, introducing himself to Mr. Nash, offered his services. He revived the injured man and assisted in putting him Into the ambulance, leaving at once to catch a car. He signaled to the motorman to stop the car, but it failed to stop. He then tried to catch the car as it passed. It was going too fast and he failed to get aboard, instead being thrown to the pave ment. He was unconscious. Some one hur ried into the drug store and told Mr. Nash there was another patient outside for him. lie was much surprised when he saw that the young man being assisted into the store was the one that had so kindly as sisted in caring for Mr. Hall. He had a deep cut over the eye. This was bandaged and he left, without giving his name, and caught the next car, which stopped. Persons who witnessed the accident said it was surprising that more accidents of the kind did not happen. Fully one-third of the cars on that line art some street or another run past people waiting to get aboard who have business which necessi tates haste. The practice on the College avenue and Masscchusetts-avenue lines has become so common that patrons of the lines are getting used to it. One man at three different times In one. day . had cars run past him and stop at the next street. Mr. Hall was taken to his home and at tended by Dr. Wilson, his family physician. GEORGE W.
