NEW YORK May Judge Lawrence, to-day,

vor OF Joaquin Miller. the author, in the pro-
seedlings brought by him against Mckee Rankin,
bha actor, concerning the play "Old 49," The
suit was brought several years ago, Mr.. Miller
declaring that. in 1873 he wrote play called
California Gold, but afterwards remodeled it
TO ''Old 40 He claimed that Mr.. Rankin pro-
auced his play, with unimportant changes, under
che title of 40" The suit was brought to re-
strain the production of the play by Rankin,
and also for S.. 900 damages. The play had been
entrusted to Mr.. Rankin to deliver to j. C. Will
hanson, in London. This, it was charged, Rankin
had failed to do, and pending negotiations to
give him the right to produce the play, he was
permitted TO retain possession of it. Judge Law
renee decided that the plaintiff was entitled to
judgment against the defendant. directing that
Rankin be enjoined from the further production
of the play "49." The court allows the plaintiff

auced by Mr.. Rankin.

The Romans Identified.

PITTsBURG, May 2.-There are no new de-
velopnents in the trunk mystery, which was de-
veloped at the Union Station in this city yester-
day. The body has been lying at Flanneries
undertaking room, and during the morning a
large number of Italians viewed the remains,
but no one could identify them. The detectives
here are endeavoring to follow clew obtained
this morning. A man answering thu description
of one of the parties who checked the trunk at
Chicago was seen at the Union Station last even
ing just before the trunk was opened, but he dis
appeared and has not yet been found The body
will he buried this evening
LATER.-This afternoon, Mrs. Bonistalli, the
wife of Smithfeld street Italian confectioner,
visited Flannerie's and identified the remains as
those Of her brother. Pietro Caruso. former
peanut vender of this city, who went to Chicago
several years ago. Although the corpse was very
much bloated and almost black. she is quite sure
that it is her brother Antonia Sablino, who
viewed the corpse, a short time afterwards, also
recognized it as the body of Caruso. He stated
that he worked with the deceased on arairoad
near Chicago for year. He was always regard
ed as peaceable man, and was never known to
pick a quarrel with anyone.
The remains of Carauso were buried this after
noon in the Uniondale Cemetery. 1t is now be-
ieved he was cloroformed and placed in the
trunk. and died of sufoeation.
The fact that vornit was discovered in the
trunk, and that his lungs were badly congested
strengthens this theory. The detectives here
have been unable 10 discover any clew that would
lead to clearing up the mystery.

A New and Rich Field for Adventuresses
and Confidence Women.
Special to the indianapolis Journai.
New YORK. May 2-The Women's Christian
Association has opened registry for girls who
desire employment as operatives on type-writers.
An investigation of the character of each appli
cant is promised, so that the employer may know,
in every instance, something about her ante
cedents. Thsa move is a result OF an evil
which has suddenly become big one in New
York. Inspector Byrnes, who is the head of the
detectives of the police department, says on this
subject: Hundreds and hundreds Of young
women have been taken into the Offices of law
yers brokers, merchants, and others, since the
type writing machine came into general use.
They are necessarily educated and bright. Most
of them are of irreproachable character, and in
this field find work enabling them tc support
themselves or help their families. But type
writing has also opened up rich thing for con-
6dence adventuresses, and the are doing more
extensive and adroit work than ever known be-

cess of their schemes. In case the chosen vic
tim doesn't put himself voluntarily into COM

WIDOW STEWARDS MANSION.

The Costly Structure About To BE Overshad-
owed by Business Building.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK. May 2-There is fight over the
question whether the mansion of the widow OF
the late Alexander T. Stewart shall be dwarfed
and overshadowed This celebrated structure of
white marble stands at the corner Of Fifth aven-
ne and Thirty fourth street, on site where the
incline of the great thoroughfare of wealth and
fashion gives scenic prominence to the house.
The rest Of the block has been partly yard,
holding an old-fashoned brick residence, so that
there was nothing in the background OF the
Stewart building to hurt the archi-
tectural effect. Artistic disaster is now
imminent. An enormous apartment house,
nine stories in height, and covering the space
right upto the Stewart wall, is to be erected
during the coming summer-unless Henry Hill
ton the controller of the Stewart estate, can
prevent it. The project is a cooperative one,
like many which have lately been successful in
New York. There are to be twenty seven suits
of rooms, and these are to be owned separately.
The ground floor will be devoted to stores. That
mercantile feature is deemed by Mrs. Stewart
nuisance, because it will be unpleasant to have

projected structure arises from its colossal size
1t will tower to full three times the altitude of
the mansion, completely belittling it, and de-
stroying its domination Of the neighborhood.
A bill has just been introduced in
the Legislature at Albany to forbid
houses of more than seventy feet in height in
cities The argument is that the streets are
darkened and adjacent property deterioated by
such structures. This Fifth-avenue Apartment
House, as it is to be called, will be 12O feet tall.
If the bill should become law, it would proba-
bly, not be built because fewer than the con-
templated tenements would not meet the finan-
cial calculations. The measure is principally
advocated by ex-Judge Horace Russell, a son-in-
law of Hilton, and is therefore construed as in

sion. There is little likelihood that it will be
passed, however, as the powerful and rich inter
ests of numerous builders and real estate own
ers is dead against it. Work on the foundations
of the house has commenced, and the promoter
of the enterprise says that he expects his walls
to be above the roofs of his displeased neighbor
in jiffy.

to 60 through the house and search the
rooms They carried out dozen persons who
appeared to be alive, although insensible, and
tried to restore them. The bodies of five dead
persons were carried into a coal Office
adjoining and laid on the floor. One or two were
partly dressed. They had delayed too long in
the rooms before making an effort TO escape.
The appearance of all the bodies gives proof
of a terrible struggle for life. None
were much burned. Before the flames reached
the doomed people, smoke placed them beyond
the reach of pain.
There were l6 families in the building. The
flames went up rapidly to the top of the house,
by way of the stairs which were in the middle
of the structure. The Railways being on fire,
there was no opportunity to escape by the stair
ways. When the inmates became aware of their
danger, men, women and children uttered loud
cries of distress, which were answered by the
crowd that had gathered in front, but which was
unable to give assistance to the occupants.
When the engines arrived it seemed already too
late to save any of the people, who were hanging
half out of windows, loudly calling for help"

Depot Employees at Chicago Unable to Throw
Any Light ON the Affair.

CHICAGO. May 2.-The employees in the Pitts
burg, Fort Wayne 6 Chicago baggage room at
che Union Depot can furnish no clew that prom
ises to lead to the Identification Of the person or
persons who shipped the trunk containing a
dead body to Pittsburg. One Of the baggage
men said: 1--WE check so many trunks here
every day that it would be simply impossible
for US to remember anything concerning them,
or the persons to whom they belong, unless
there should something unusual happen at
the time to attract our attention. An ordinary
man weighs from $50 to $50 pounds, and his
body could be packed in trunk very easily AS
we handle many trunks that contain
baggage weighing from 150 to 200 pounds
we would not have our suspicious
aroused because the trunk seemed
heavy. OF course, if foul odor was emitted from
it we would conclude that it contained corpse,
and would call the attention of the authorities
to it, All know about the trunk in question is
that it left here at 3:15 o'clock yesterday after
noon the regular passenger train, and was
checked for Pittsburg 1t was an ordinary pack
ing trunk. One of our men thinks it was brought
here in an express wagon, before noon, by three
Italians, and that it was the first trunk checked
for the 315 train. This, however, is only sup
position upon his part
The detectives here are making thorough in
vestieation of the mystery, but as yet have no
information to mpart.

GALVESTON, Tex, May 2.-The mayoralty
contest between mayor r. l.. Fulton and
Acting Mayor Joseph Atkins pending for the

frauds in the returns from the Eleventh ward; in
fact Mr. Atkins was unable to point out single
genuine ballot in the Eleventh ward box. The
real ballots cast in that ward have never been
found. The fraudulent ballots were properly
numbered, and the count corresponded with the
tally ysheets in every instrnce, but over 200 citi
zens declared under oath thatthe ballots accredit
ed to them were not theirs. Upon presentation

NEW YORK, May 2-The talk in fashionable

Novel Method of Raising Church Funds.

New YORK. May 2-The sight of a plat of
ground, 100x126 feet, divided by chalk lines into
yard squares, is attracting attention at the Har-
lem end of New York. The explanation is that
an entirely novel scheme for raising the money
with which to buy plot for Methodist Church
is being tried. The land is to cost SAG, ,000 The
contributor of $50 will be, nomnally, the owner
for life of particular square yard. A certificate
will be issued to him, and in the cornerstone of
the edifce will be put a diagram showing the
purchases Half of the yards have already been
sold, and the plan seems likely, through its sue
cess, to set an example that will be widely fol-
lowed in new church enterprises.
