FIENDISH PLOTTERS
Conspiracy of Barcelona Anarcll-
lists That Happily Failed.
But for the %lmpatience of One Man
Many Bombs Would Have Been
Thrown Into the LiceO Theater.

BARCELONA, Nov. 1.-THE Anarchists
OF this city, despite police precautions,
continue to terrify the people. Yesterday
while a body of troops was embarkinS for
Melilla a bomb with n burning fuse at
tached was found in a position that would
have caused the deaths of many soldiers
mad not the bomb been discovered. The
gates of the barracks near this city were
destroyed by dynamite yesterday morning.
1t is stated that Judge Domenech has in
his possession the names of all the per-
sons who were connected with the bomb
outrage at the Liceo Theater last week,
and that the culprits are already in Gus
tody. 1t is asid that the plot was arranged
by several Anarchists. The plan was one
which, if it had been successfully carried
out, would have involved wholesale de-
stTuction of life. Each of the plotters was
station themselves in different parts of the
TO turn off the gas lights, and at this sig
nal the bombs were to be thrown. The
man who was to put out the lights failed
TO find the meter, and one of his com
panions growing impatient of waiting for
darkness, threw his bomb down into the
stalls. Judge Domenech earned Il reputa-
ton as a prosecutor by stamping out the
Black Hand criminal organization in An
daluSia some years ago, and the prisoners
will undoubtedly be rigidly dealt with when
they Will come before him.

COLUMBUS. Ind, Nov. 15.-John Chris
Ter, who, six years ago, was a resident of
this county ard worth $4,000, is on the
streets Of this city, having arrived here to-
day, selling lead pencils, and is being led
about by his fourteen-year-old boy. His
story is pitiful. Seven years ago he sold his
farm, in the northeastern part Of this coun-
~, and went to Allen county, Kansas,
where he was persuaded TO purchase a
farm which was represented to be free from
incumbrance, and for which he paid its
value in cash. To his sorrow. he found, q
year later, that an Eastern trust and loan
company had a mortgage on the farm for
almost its entire value. This was a mis-
fortune in its way, but it was not the only
one which overlook him. In 1889 he and a
cowboy named Columbus Carter had u diff
ficulty concerning a corn planter and went
to court about il. In the trial Chrisler was
victorious, and Carter threatened to have
revenge. He assaulted Chrisler with a pitch
fork, striking him on the head, rendering
him unconscious. and while in that condi-
ton he gouged out both of his eyes. Indig-
nant citizens pursued Garter. and, six days
later, he was caught by II mob ana hanged.
Chrisler lost his farm, and has come back
to his home to spend his remaining days
in blindness and poverty.

Sam Jacks "Creoles'' slipped into town
almost unannounced yesterday, and gave a
performance at English's last night, much
in the same line as seen here on the two
former occasions when the 'Creoles' visit
ed indianapolis. The audience was not
large. owing, perhaps, to the impression
that the engagement would not begin until
tonight. The striking feature, and one
which is doing a pile of advertising for the
show this season-the Dance du Ventre-
was cut out OF the bill. Some one objected
TO this Midway PlaiSance speciality on the
grounds Of being-well. not quite up to caste
for indianapolis. If the intention was to
have one of the "CreOles" dance ii there is
no objection to the obliteration, but if Il

done by the star performers at Chicago,

4 VERY BLACK EYE

Logansport Gas Company.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
LOGANSPORT, Ind, Nov. 15.-Judge n.
W. Reynolds, of Monticello, in the Cass
Circuit Court. this morning. rendered his
decision in the case Of Logansport against
the oheerin Natural-gas Company This is
the case in which the city sought TO re-
strict the gas company from increasing
its rates, and the suit was a result of the
gas war which has been waged for the
past year by the City Council and the Lo-
gansport papers. Judge Reynolds gave q
complete and sweeping decision in fa'or
of the city, permanently enjoining the gas
company from raising the rate beyond the
ordinance schedule. His decision is of in
terest TO gas cities in Indiana, and the
case is an important one. Victory here for
the gas company would have been followed
by an increase of rates in many gas towns.
The court holds that the city had a right
TO contract for natural gas for It's citi-
zens; that the rate ordinance, passed and
accepted in writing by the gas company,
and operated under, was a contract; that
whether the city had a right TO contract
or not the gas company having accepted
the consideration OF the contract is now
estopped from setting up that the contract
was void. The restricting order was made
permanent, and an appeal asked for. The
case will now go to the Supreme Court,
where it viii be watched with interest by
gas consumers over the State. The people
of Logansport are much elated over the de-

ating Strikers Funds.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Ia fight was
begun in ~to-day's session of the Knights of

tinue with bitterness during the remainder

power TO keep the details from the public,
but enough has been learned TO complete
the story of the days proceedings. Late in
the afternoon General Treasurer Hayes pre-
scented his report of the financial affairs OF
the order for the year just passed, in which
IT IS said he fatty accused the general ex-
ecutive board with having misappropriated
all or part of the fund subscribed for the
benefit Of the strikers at Homestead
and Occur D'Alene. This report, which
was a direct fling at the Powderly faction,
became the subject of an acrimonious de-
bate, I'm which both parties INDUCED in al
most unlimited abuse OF one another. a re-
port was also presented by the general ex-
ecutive committee. the exact nature of
which cannot be learned, but it is under
stood that counter accusations are made
in it against what is know as the Hayes
faction. Grand Master Workman Powderly
is engaged Tonight in marshaling his forces
from all parts OF the country, preparatory
TO a big fight which is expected to take
place tomorrow. 1t is said that he has
