FIRE mi LIGHTNING.
The indianapolis Foundry Works Badly Dam
aged--Garver's Ice-Houses Destroyed.

The indianapolis foundry works, located at
the corner Of Pine and Bates streets. were badly
wrecked by fire yesterday. The fire was caused
by careless handling Of ovcrheated castings.
AS the buildings are made of pine, a great
amount of damage was done before the fire de-
partment could get the flames under control
The cupola, the engine-room and the private
Office were damaged to some extent, while the
water thrown upon the burning building will
cause q considerable loss from damage to the
contents of the pattern-room and moIdlng depart
ment. The building is known as the Mothers
head property, and has been occupied by the foun-
dry company only a short time. The works were
operated by a stock company, of which E. NJ
johnson is president and Samuel Schrech super
intendent. The loss will amount to fully Sc, 600,
but is covered by insurance in the Gregory q
Appel agency, the Winchester, of New York,
Phoenix, of London, and Home, or California
The company had just recently passed into new
hands, and numerous improvements had been
made. Mr.. johnson says that so soon as the
damages can be repaired work will be resumed.
DISASTROUS STROKE OF LIGHTNING.
The fearful crash of lightning, which every
body in this city must have heard yesterday,
struck the ice-houses of M. Carver g. Co., locat-
eQ near the WcSG emu Oh O6VeuJu Stc0tY y IL tHc
north side of Butsch's ice ponds, and instantly
set them on fire. The engines Of the fire de-
partment were on hand promptly, but all their
efforts to stay the progress of the anne
proved futile. There were ten Of the buildings,
situated closely together in a row. The two
buildings at the ends were larger than those oc-
cupying the intervening space, being at least
100x185 feet, all of which were totally de-
stroyed. Mr.. Carver estimates the loss on the
buildings alone to be $12,O 900. There wero not
less than So, 900 tons of ice stored in the build
ings, which was melted by the fire, but the
greater loss on the ice will result
from the enormous quantity of water which was
thrown upon it by the engines of the fire de-
partment, the effect of which will be to honey
comb much of what was not melted by the heat.
The loss on the ice Mr.. Carver estimates at
about $12, 900, the total loss approximating $40
600. The insurance on the buildings is as fol-
lows. Ohio Valley Insurance Company, 81, 100;
Germania Fire Insurance Company, So, 200; Lon
don, Liverpool and Globe, 81, 100; Etna Fire,
81, 100; American Central, 81, 100; Hanover, 81
200; Niagara, 81, 100, making a total of 80. 900.
The insurance on the ice is as follows: London,
Liverpool and Globe, ST, 400; Norwich Union,
81, 100; Hanover, 81, 100; total, So, 600. The ag-
gregate insurance of the buildings and ice is
$l4 500.

A yillainous Tramp's Assault.

Yesterday afternoon, at l o'clock, a tramp en-
tered the residence of Mrs. Nelson, at No. 25S
South Alabama street. and asked her for some
thing to eat. The lady gave the fellow food
and then requested him to do some work for the
dinner. She sent him to the wood-shed
and her little six-yearold girl followed
him to watch the fellow do the work. It seems
that he had a purpose in view, for he siezed the
child and tried to commit an assault Mrs. Mel
son hearing the screams rushed to the rescue and
with the aid of a poker succeeded in driving the
fellow away. He is described as a man If medi-
UNI height, with sandy mustache.

Arrest of a Counterfeiter.

John Reno, the counterfeiter who last March
persuaded an unsophisticated young man from
Seymour, named Hardesty, to passnseveral
spurious ten-dollar bills in this city, was arrest

States Marshal Hart. Hardesty is now lying at
the City Hospital. sick with typhoid fever; but
when he was captured, Reno, who always
stood upon the outside during the passing of the
money, escaped. The counterfeit bills were on
the Third National Bank of Cincinnati, and a
number of the spurious notes were put into cir

Let it be known that '.Abe1 Lincoln would adj
dress a meeting, and the audience could be meas
ured in advance by the capacity of the building.
Let it be known that he would address a jury,
and the courtroom was sure to be crowded. He
was quaint, deep, graphic, sincere. Such is the
verdict of his friends and neighbors who knew
most intimately before he became Presi-
dent.

of Kansas, when few men could speak as he felt
without faltering.,n 1t was an evening meeting
on the public street north of the Planters
House, in Leavenworth. The crowd was large
and noisy. It was directly on the heels of q
terrible raid in Missouri. The long, four-horse
omnibus came over the big Muddy" ON a
fat-boat from the Missouri side, and
was driven rapidly to the hotel, where, after a
few moments of rest, the bonires were lighted
and thousands congregateG. 1t was a crowd of
desperate, armed and disguised men, mingled
with many courageous citizens and very ready
listeners. Only @ few days previous the corn

rHE JOHN B. DORIS CIRCUS.

II JOHN B. DORIS CIRCUS.
Yesterday the first circus Of the season, and
the first exhibition of the John B. Doris's mann
moth shows, was given on the Vandalia ground.
In the forenoon the usual street parade was
made, and the affair was a most gorgeous one.
The show itself is quite creditable.
The ring performances were good,
and Notwithstanding the drenching rain the
large audience present applauded continually the
different acts. The menagerie is complete and
the. novelties are many, among them the most
noteworthy being "Krao, the missing link" who
was seen here at the museum. In the circus
there were many novel acts, and the ring pro-
gramme included, after the grand entree. differ
emit performers in the different rings. The
Fisher brothers. in their flying act, were great,
as were also the musical specialties of the Onofri
brothers and the Japanese juggling Of Eldora.
The trained elephants and trained dogs perform
their tricks nicely, and the bareback riding of Miss
Ella Stokes and Sallie Marks, in separate rings,
were graceful specimens of equestrian feats.
The slide for life OF Miss Belle Celeste, and the
flying ring act of Miss Licette were warmly APP
~plauded, and the performance on the horizontal
bars by Messrs. Fisher and Hartel was accept
able. There were also some slack-wire perform
ances by Mr.. J. j. Showles, and high wire walk
ing by Master Macarte. and K~atamorpa juggled
with huge snakes. The trained horses, the
dancing barrel act by Edwin Earle, the knife
throwing by Rifla Bey, the tumbling, the strong
jawed women Mile Granville, the balancing
trapeze act by Mile Mile, the Siberian roller
skaters, the seven-horse riding of g.. Sylvester,
the hurdle riding, the menage act and
the scenic equestrianism were not all of the per-
Torrance. Suffice it to say that there are aero
hrats, and riders, and ~jugglers, and leapers, and
all the blare and glory of a big" circus. The
performances will be repeated this afternoon and
evening. Mr.. Doris we'll deserves to be compli-
mented upon his handsome equipment.

a Question of Neutrality.

LONDON, April 15.-Much discussion has
been caused by the statement in the Teheran
Gazetfe that Persia has consented to Russian
troops being sent across her northeastern
frontier into Afghanistan. Such step is
regarded iu military circles here not only as
impairing Persia's obligations as neutral
power but as exposing her to great dangers
in case of actual warfare. The entire persian
border west of Herat northward to the Rms
sian posts of observation Is open to invasion
from tribes who acknowledge the authority
of the Ameer and the whole Persian coast Is
destitute of means of defense against Brit
ish war ships cruising in the Persian Gulf,
or the Arabian Sea. The foreign Office Is
understood to be in communication with the
Persian envoy on the subject, with view
to learning what the Shah Is disposed to
consider the duties of neutral power.

Smith struck him again two or three blows
with the AK. Halstead SAYS he then ran out

finally they buried the body ln the has where
il remained for two weeks, aud was then

They afterwards threw the body through an
opening where board WAS removed and il
fell upon the manger, thus pointing 10 the
truth of DIR. kinbaifs theory that some of
the bones were crushed after death. Officer
JnO. Boyle, who has done remarkably efficient
work on this case. went out 20 the Moifats

stable d pair of suspenders belonging TO the
dead man, and also in the hay the bloody

Smith had anything TO do with the murder.
or he would not have dragged the body out
and given the alarm last Friday.
