Came at the circus grounds Saturday
afternoon. Carpenter and Esteb en
tered pleas of guilty, but Miller stated
that he was not guilty. All three
men are employes of the Barnum &
Uailey circus.
The arrest of the three men at the
circus grounds created considerable
excitement, owing to the fact that thir
ty or forty canvasmen and show rous
tabouts made an attempt to rescue the
crap players. Chief Bailey, Officer
Bundy, Officer Edwards and Officer
"Wierhake, who had the men in charge,
had to draw their revolvers to prevent
the angry showmen from making a de
termined effort to rescue their friends.
The sight of the ugly looking six
ehooters had the desired effect and the
mob dispersed and allowed the officers
to take their prisoners to the city jail
without any further trouble.
. Officers Cause Panic.
When Chief Bailey and his three of
lifers were making the rounds of the
circus grounds in the afternoon, they
noticed ten or fifteen men gathered
about a piece of canvas stretv'jed oa
the ground near a wagon. "Come
seven," yelled one of the men who was
kneeling at the side of the canvas. Immediately-
the officers ebared into the
crowd and a wild scrar-'.ble followed.
Wierhake. and Bailey gabbed Carpen
ter, who in turn grabbed a guy rope
"with the . grip of a, drowning man.
While the two officers were tusseling
with Carpenter an'i Officers Edwards
and Bundy were Laving their troubles
with Miller and Fsteb, respectively, the
other plasters grabbed for the money
and the dice zJid then took to their
heels. They did not get all that was
on the canvas, however, for Officer
Bundy, before grabbing Esteb, snatch
ed " rents and a "bone' off the can
vas bef.;-e' he grabbed Esteb.
G ns Did the Business.
While the chief and his officers were
leading the prisoners off the grounds,
the victims sent up the dread circus
Cries of "Hey Rube" and "here.wa
i." Immediately canvas men, wag
on men and roustabouts from every di
rection rallied to the rescue and in
three minutes time the officers and
their prisoners were surrounded by an
angry and noisy crowd of reckless cir
cus men. "Let 'em go." cried the
mob. then Sheriff Meredith joined the
Jiot pressed police. "Let's take 'em
away." said one of the circus men.
Realizing that trouble was imminent.
Chief Bailey whipped out his revolver!
and the other officers and the sheriff!
followed suit. "Don't start anything
said the chief. The mob recoiled at the
sight of the guns, then slowly dispers
ed, mumbling threats against the
officers.

was scneauiea to leave rvicumuuu
the men went about the city wearing
little white ribbons, designating the
party to which they belonged.
Th( trin the wholesalers are now
taking is one of the longest yet at
tempted by the board, as it will cover
1,170 miles, and is the eighteenth
trade extension excursion. The idoa
of the Cleveland wholesalers is abso
lutely unique and original with them
The excursions are run semi- annually
and the heads of the houses which do
business in the territory through
which the train passes, make the trip,
that they may come in personal touch
with their buyers. In this manner
mutual interest is aroused between the
wholesale men and the retailers, and
all business deals are carried through
much more satisfactorily than would
be the case otherwise.
Dealers Were Visited.
During their stay in the city pra
tically all retail dealers were called
UDon. while many of the latter went
to the train where they met the men
of whom they have been buying their
eoods. Previous to the coming of
the Cleveland dealers, " large souvenir
books, describing the trip, were mail
ed into Richmond in large numbers,
while at the same time local dealers
were notified that the party would be
here today.
The special on which the party is
makins: the trin is composed of two
sleepers, one dining car and one orui
nary Pullman coach, all of which were
fitted out very handsomely. The
trip from Cleveland was started Sun
day afternoon at five o'clock, and the
special was carried over the Big Four
to Union City, where the G. R. & I.
picked the train up and brought it to
Richmond. The time made was ex
ceptionally fast, and particularly so
over the G. R. & I. From Union City
to Richmond, the train was hauled at
the speed of sixty-five miles an hour.
The trip will continue one week and
many towns will be visited.
Given Telephone Service.
One of the novel features connected
with the train is the telephone ser
vice furnished by the Central Union
company. At all stops two instru
ments are connected with the wires of
the company and all those on board
can telephone to any city they wish.
Thi3 morning several calls were given
from the train to Cleveland, and rec

with Richmond as a city and stated
that Richmond had a thorougnly rep

city, they said, is very beautiful. 1
The Cleveland wholesalers will not
pay Richmond another visit for six
years, as other territories will be gone
over before the party makes another

MABELLE GILMAM.
WILLIAM E. COREY.
?few York, May 13 Bridal gifts of
$1,000,000, & palatial Fifth avenue
home, a $30,000 trousseau, a midnight
marriage in the royal suite of the Ho
tel Gotham, a $50,000 wedding supper
for thirty guests, three months' auto
mobile honeymoon in Europe and the
knowledge that her millionaire hus
band retains his place with the United
States Steel Corporation. Surely
these things should make Mabelle Gil
man a happy bride when she becomes
the wife of William Ellis Corey to
night.
Ten associates of the steel king wil!
mark the occasion with the approval
of the steel trust and set at rest all
rumors of Mr. Corey's resignation. All
sorts of rumors as to the wedding ar
rangemen ts liave been -la floatTbut' Miss
Gilman herself is authority for the
statement that the wedding will take
place today. According to members
of the Gilman family there will be
represented every Branch or the Corey
family and old Braddock, Pa., friends
of the bridegroom will be present.
Clergyman's Name Secret.
The name of the clergyman if the
ceremony is to be a religious one
has been kept secret. Mr. Corey will
have as his best man a relative and
either Miss May Shaw, an English
friend or one of Miss Gilman's sisters
will be bridesmaid. After the wed
ding ceremony the couple will board
the Xorth German Lloyd steamer,
Wilhelm II and take a suite that is
especially prepared for them. Mx.
Corey tried to secure Emperor Wil
liam's suite, but found it was en
gaged by two Western millionaires.
The captain consented to turn over
his suite of three beautifully appoint
ed rooms to the newly married couple.
After . their return the Coreya will
live at their1 recently acquired- Fifth
avenue home.
The method adopted by Mr. Corey
and Miss Gilman in regard to their
wedding arrangements has ' defeated
tfteir own object if it were their in
tention to avoid publicity. Every
move is watched with interest. Per
haps the greatest object of interest
is Miss Mary Shaw, the companion
and bosom friend with whom Miss Gil
man went shopping yesterday. There
is much speculation as to who she is,
where she came from and how she ob
tained hr footing with the Gilmans
and Corey. '
It has been said that she was a ward
of Mr. Corey and there Is much to
bear this out. She has not the ap
pearance or manner of a paid attend
ant, is always as elegantly gowned as
Miss Gilman herself and accompanies
the affianced everywhere they go.
Beauty Opposite Type.
Her beauty is exactly the opposite
type of Miss Gilman's and has ecrclted
much comment. Miss Shaw is young
er than -Miss .: U Gilman. a tr?ldly
beautiful blonde girl, tall and slender.
Her features are small and she carries
herself with the air of a young queen.
Besides being the possessor of a large
and elegant wardrobe, Miss Shaw
wears beautiful jewels and ia bounti
fully supplied with money. She af
fects white almost altogether in tha
evening and her beatuy has on many
occasions eclipsed Miss Gilman.
It has been rumored that Miss Gil
man was planning a social campaign,
but she denies this.
"I care absolutely nothing for so
ciety as it is known in this country,"
Miss Gilman said. "There is no Inter
est in it. The people who interest me
are those who have done something
those who are known In the world of
music, art, literature. I hope that my
home will be known as one which is
frequented by the be3t of this kind of
people."
While not a Mme. . Recamier or a
Mme. De Stael, Misa Gilman has a keen
wit of her own anxTher voice Is a val
uable asset, j. Hejcpnly ,regreOhe says
is that she has had to givo up her
grand opera career, for which no less a
person than Jean de Retzke, her in
structor, prophesied great things.

A strong agitation for a Friends'
church on the west side of the river
is now on and it is likely that at the
next quarterly meeting of Friends' s a
petition for a church building will be
presented by the west side members.
Many of the leading members of the
Friends' church in Richmond reside on.
the west side and the agitation for a
building in that part of the city has
become so strong that all that now re
mains is the quarterly meeting's offi
cial sanction. '
In case that a new church is built on
the west side, the South Eighth Street
church will probably be sold, and the
East Main street church improved. At
present the South Eighth Street
church is more desirable for holding
small meetings than is the East Main
Street church, but for various reasons
the east end worshipping place could
not be given up. There are two hun
dred members of the Friends living on
the west side. They are about equal
ly divided between the Eighth Street
and Main street churches.
President Kelly of Earlham college,
is one of the Friends who is strongly
in favor of a church on the west side.
In case that the church is built the re
ligious exercises which have been held
in the college chapel will be, discontin
ued. The two hundred membership of'
city people and three hundred -student
members would give the ,' proposed
church five hundred active workers to
begin with. The church, if built, will
be near the college campus.
THE WINNING CONTESTANTS
TO STOP AT
INSIDE II
Monday's voting was light compared
to that of Sunday, yet it was enough to
materially affect the standing of eever
al of the contestants. Mr. Wissler, ia
the teacher's class, who has been keep
ing rather quiet for the past week or
two, received votes enough to put him
in second place. Miss Danner has
again passed Miss Hodskin, though by
a very slim margin.
Contestants are drawing very near
the moment when all hands will have
to he shown. It is only a matter of
two weeks or so now until the contest
is over and the lucky ones can make
arrangements for the trip. In this
connection it might be well to state
that the winning contestants while at
the exposition, will stay at the Inside
Inn, a great hotel situated within the
exposition grounds.

CHARGE FRANK HART
WITH PETIT LARCENY
It Is Claimed That He Stole
Two Wraps from Home of
Charles Newlin.
OCCURRED MONTHS AGO.
IT IS ALSO BELIEVED THAT
GEORGE LYONS, RELEASED
FROM COUNTY JAIL AT SAME
TIME, WAS IMPLICATED.
Frank Hart, a notorious crook. Is un
der arrest in this city charged with
the theft of two wraps, stolen from the
home of Charles Newlin, East Main
street, .last fall. , He will be charged
with petit larceny and probably will be
arraigned in the city court Tuesday or
Wednesday.
Hart a few years ago was sent to the
jenersonvme reiormatory lor being a
mem oer 01 a gang 01 men mat blew a
safe at Portland. Early last fall he
was arrested in this city for breaking
f
into a house, and was given a jail sen
tence. The day he and George Lyons
were released from jail the Xewlin
home was entered and two wraps were
stolen from a hat rack In the front
hall.
The theft was immediately reported
to the police to whom it had also been
reported that Lyons and Hart had left
town on a Dayton and Western car a
short time after the theft at the New
lin home had been committed. The
police immediately fastened suspicion
on Hart and Lyons and they were
traced to Eaton, Camden and Dayton.
At the latter city all trace of them was
lost.
Friday, Hart, evidently thinking that
he was no longer being sought for by
the police, pulled into town on a west
bound Panhandle train. He had no
sooner set foot in the city than he was
arrested by Officer Edwards. The
police state that they have evidence
against Hart necessary to convict him
of the charge for which he was arrest
The mangled remains of the Comtn
bus, O., team which Invaded our beau
tiful City Sunday, were returned to iU
home Sunday night, together with sil
vers remnants of the white hosier f
worn by the Buckeyes. The score of
17 to 3 tells the entire tale of the vic
tory of our demon binglefesters. A
big Sunday crowd witnessed the as
sault and battery committed on tho
Columbus outfit, which claims to be
the industrial champions of Ohio, anl
the linings of many rooters' pipes were
frazzled completely out' in" that awtul
sixth inning when Captain Jcssup'.-
gore-sceking band had an orgy of
swats. Ten men were chased over the
plate in thfc?" inning and one Butler,
sou paw pitc her, for our visitors, had
the resounding wash basin tied on him
by his purple-faced, perspiring mana
ger and chased to the jlmpson weed
which thrive in right field. Mr.
Campbell was placed in the box to faco
the blood-thirsty Quakers, and he suc
ceeded in stopping the carnage for fh3
only reason that Manager Jessup and
his hired men had worn themselves out
on Mr. Butler.
Dinks Not Troublesome.
The Quakers were familiar with tha
dinks offered by Butler from the very
first. In the opening round the local
mado one tally. Neither side scored ia
the second. In the third Co'umbu3
took the lead, for thft r first and only
time. Butler and Jones secured bases
on a hit and an error and both counted
on Pretchel's double. Horn, who
pitched a spendid game, allowing eight
well distributed- hits, then rallied and,
refused to have any more runs shaken
out of him. In Richmond's half oC
the third three inns were counted. Tha
locals counted again in the fourth.
In the fifth neither side Eecured a run.
Fireworks in the Sixth.
Then came the sixth with its fire
works display. Roman candles, swata
and winded Quakers chasing the bases.
Ritter started the trouble with a clean,
hit and scored on Cameron's double.
Plummer got a life on an error. Dur
ham follows and gets a base by
Brooks' error in center, Cameron chas
ing home on this error. Reeves get
a life on an error which aleo allowed'
Plummer to count. Justice singles
cleanly and Durham scores. At this
juncture the official score keeper hol
lers for more paper, and three pencils.

then the jingling tinware is attached
to Mr. Butler. Campbell, who suc
ceeds him is greeted by Mr. Durham
with a single which scores Ritter and
Cameron. Reeves scores Plummer
with a single, then the agony is endrd
by Reeves being thrown out whilo

tongue hanging out.
Was Poor Exhibition.
The game was a very poor exhibi

of the poor work of the visiting team.
ill and eight glaring errors wers
made behind them. Manager Jessup
made his first bow to a Richmond
crowd this season and he played his
usual fast . and aggressive game.
Reeves, the new shortstop, despite th-3
knockers' biffs, played a clean, fast
game, both In the field and at the bat.

The spectacular feature of the content
was furnished by Durham and Reeves,
who succeeded in silencing the roars.
