more in accordance with the ideas OF the conveli-
ton. Mr.. Charles Wingate, OF New York, addressed

An Indiana Judge Indicted.

TROUBLE GROWING OCT OF THE CAMPAIGN.
A telegram from Sheldon, Iowa, December >.
says: The chief topic of interest here is the action
of the grand jury, which has just found an in
dictment against the present circuit judge, d. d.
McCallum, and several democratic editors all
charged with forgery and criminal libel upon
Major P. r. Bailey, OF this place. The trouble
grows out OF a campaign fight. Major Bailey was
the member OF the republican state central CON-
mittee for this district, and McCalltlm was the
mugwump candidate for district judge. Bailey
charged that forged and SlanderouS articles We're
circulated against him by McCallum and the
democratic editors, and he brought suit and the
grand jury has indicted them. This Is thought to
be the first instance in the state where the Judge
on bench was indicted by grand jury for a
criminal OffenSe.

DECOfED FROM CHICAGO TO LEAD LIVES OF SHAME
IN WISCONSIN.
The testimony in the case of Maggie Cruel and
Maggie MoDermott against ''Chet" Smith, theat-
rical agent, is of a character tending to confirm
the original statement made concerning Smith,
to the effect that regular agency was opened in
Chicago which OStensibly secured theatrical en-
gagements for young girls, but which, in reality,
caused them to be sent TO the mining camps in
Wisconsin to lead lives OF shame.
Miss Cruel stated that she and Maggie McDer-
mott called at room 30, No. 12o Clark street.
where Smith had an Office. He told them he had
an engagement for them with respectable thea
ter in Hurley, Wis, where they could earn $40 q
week, thereby fitting themselves for better OppOr-
tunitieS in the leading dramatic companies. He
showed them contracts which, however, they did
not sign, as Smith did not ask them. The next
day they met, at Smiths office, lady who was to
conduct them to Hurley. Arriving at their deStl-
nation they not only were taken to a diSTeputable
house to live, but discovered that the theater was
OF the lowest vaudeville type. They We're obliged
TO dress in cheeSeclOth garments reaching only to
the knees, and, when not busy on the stage, were
compelled to solicit men to buy drinks in the boxes
and wine rooms. After eleven days OF such life
they were rescued by Mrs. Cruel and detective
and taken home to Chicago.
The police declare their belief that large num-
Der OF girls have been induced to go TO Hurley and
other places under similar Misrepresentation
and will thoroughly investigate the matter.

A BLACKSMITH CHARGED WITH VIOLATING THE BUILD
ING REGULATIONS.
This morning, in the Police Court, Mr.. Alfred
Lacey, the blacksmith on 9th street. near the
corner OF Massachusetts, avenue, was charged with
violating the building regulations in converting
building within thirty feet of a dwelling house
into blacksmith shop. Mr.. Warren Stone ap-
peared for the defendant and entered plea of
mot guilty" Mr.. Padgett appeared for the Dis
trict.
Mr. Albert F. Marsh, 900 Massachusetts avenue,
testified that the building now occupied as a
blacksmith shop was formerly private stable.
and about three months ago it was converted to
the use OF blacksmith shop. Witness said the
yards, and last week two OF the neighbOrs were
compelled to have their washing done q second
time; Witness said the shop was within feet OF
one dwelling and 24% feet from another.
Mr. b. h. Plain and DR.. Dorsey gave similar testi-
mony.
Assistant Building Inspector King testified to
the location OF the building and TO having served
notice on defendant that the law had been vio-
lated.
Mr. Schneider testified that the defendant had a
portable forge similar TO those used by lOckSmithS,
and protected by a screen in such way that very
little dirt could escape from it.
Thornton Smith testified that the shop was no
nuisance, and there not much more noise
made than in some Kitchens where there are serv-
ants. ''Have you ever resided next to shop
where an anvil is worked?' inquired Mr.. Padgett.
mo SIR answered witness, 'but / live next a
house where il is worse than an anvil. There is a
little boy and drum there, and would rather
have three anv1ls next to me than the boy and
drum
The Judge said he lived opposite DOran's black
smith shop on street, and The sound Of the anvil
In the morning was rather pleasant to him. He
did not like to interfere with persons who were
trying to make living, but he was Obliged to en-
force the law. He would. however suspend the
case and give the defendant a chance to have
1ull hearing before the commissioners and the
building inspector and see II he could arrange
matters satisfactorily.

THE ROMANTIC SEQUEL OF LOUISVILLE MATINEE
Louisville special, December I'd, says: After a
matinee at McCauleys Jheater this afternoon
there was more dramatic episode in real life
than any on the program. The third number In
the concert was ''The Flower Girl" which was
sung by Miss BERTHE Mcdonald. She is debutante,
very pretty and has a remarkably fine voice,
which has made her great favOrite in musical
circles. She was applauded vigorously when she
finished, and huge basket OF flowers was sent to
the stage The young singer had disappeared,
however, and it took all the applause OF the audi
ence to bring her back. She returned, picked up
the flowers with a hasty smile and dtrted off the
stage again. At Il side door Sr. Brannin Sherley
was in waiting with two or three friends in a car
rage and all crossed the Ohio river to Jefferson
vile, Ind, where license was procured and the
young musician was made Mrs. Sherley. They
then returned TO hotel and sent for their par
ents, who were overwhelmed with surprise but
promptly fOrgave them. All the parties are rich
and one month ago Mr. Sherey attained his ma
jority and came into a fortune of 100000. He re-
turned about three months ago from years
travel in China and Japan. Miss Mcdonald was
engaged to another wealthy young man. and it is
said the wedding day was set Tor early in Jam
uary. The young couple Will leave for cuba in a
few days, where they will spend the winter.

EXCAVATION IN THE STREET PROPERLY LIGHTED
AND GUARDED?
At the corner OF 9TH and streets northwest,
where the Washington heat and power company
have dug trench in which to lay pipes there is
an excavation about seven feet deep. Miss May
Mcpherson, who lives at No. $40 New Jersey ave
nue., was on her way home last evening about six
o'clock and. reaching the crossing at the point
mentioned, She stumbled and fell into the ditch,
striking one OF the wooden mains. Officer Mont
gomery went TO her assistance and found her to be
unconscious. She was taken to the drug store of
Mr.. c. A. Prentiss, at the corner, and from there
to the Emergency hospital. where She was attended
by DIR. Taylor. She received several severe cuts
about the head and was so badly hurt that it was
thought best not to remove her, and she was still
at the hospital this morning, but was thought
to be improving. 1t is alleged that there
was not sufficient light at that point to pro-
tect passengers from accident.

Mrs. Stewards Estate.

The New York Sun to-day says: Ex-Judge Hor-
ace Russell, counsel for Judge Hilton, in reply to
an inquiry as to the truth OF the rumOr that Mrs.
stewards entire property will be offered at public
sale, said yesterday that part OF it will be sold
at public sale. Several wealthy gentlemen had
offered to buy the marble mansion on 34th street
and 9TH avenue, but no offer had been accepted.
The Union club had not tried to get the building,
but If the Union club should make the offer IL
would be considered, and If large enough the
building would be sold. Judge Russell added that
all OF the hotel property In the Stewart estate,
even after it had been divided among the heirs.
would continue to be conducted as at present.
