NINETEEN TINES AROUND 1T.
A Runaway Team Circles the Monument
John Bakers Skill.

John Baker, a Chicago colored man, at
tending the colored Pythian conclave, was
the hero of a mad ride around the monu-
ment shortly after Z o'clock last night.
Baker is a stalwart young man with a set
of brawny muscles that doubtless saved
him from injury and the total destruction
of a vehicle. Those who saw the exciting
affair declare that the drivers skill and
strength alone prevented a bad accident.
Baker and his friend Seth Green, who also
halls from Chicago, drove a team and road
wagon out of the Brunswick stables about
Z o'clock with the intention of cutting a
wide swath through the indianapolis
streets. The swath was brief, for the team
CHANGED to be spirited and high strung, and
at the corner of Pennsylvania and Market
streets began to plunge and kick. In a
moment the horses became manageable
and, at a killing pace, plunged into Market
street and swung on to the Circle. Baker
was driving, but his companion caught one
of the lines and both men threw their
united strength on the bits of the thorough
ly-frightened bruteS.
AS the turnout passed the English Hotel
Bakers friend, Green, decided that there
was no hope of stopping the team and,
passing the line to Baker, sprang from the
vehicle. Baker gripped the line and then
wound both about his wrists. By this time
he had made the circle or the monument
and the pace of the maddened animals had
increased to a velocity that was frightful.
1t was growing dark, and as the hoofs of
the flying steeds struck the pavement the
sparks flew in showers. Hundreds of peo-
pie began to gather about the Circle and
the excitement grew intense. Luckily there
were no vehicles in the way, and Baker
was not interrupted in his mac ride. Final
ly it became a question of contest between
the strength of man and brute. 1t was
plain that Baker saw where his only saliva
ton lay. If he could keep the runaway
horses on the Circle they would finally be-
danger of leaving the circular thoroughfare.
At the intersection of Market street or Me-
ridian street he would bend forward with
determination in his face, his eyes on the
galloping team. Not once during the ride
did he look to the right or left. Once a
man stepped i'm the street and yelled:
I'll catch the bits next time you come
round"
Without a glance in the direction of the
speaker, Baker called back:
mo, keep out of the way; I'll manage
this team"
1t was not until the seventeenth detour
of the monument had been made that the
team displayed signs of slowing up. At the
nineteenth round Baker concluded that his
opportunity to end the drive had arrived,
and with admirable skill pulled the team up
to the edge of the curbing of the Monu-
ment plaza. This was accomplished in
front of English's Opera House, and a
dozen men were in to the street on the
instant and had hold of the bits. The
horses were covered with foam and greatly
exhausted, but not injured. Baker coolly
drove the team to the stable. ordered an
other pair of horses and started out again.

TRIAL OF A PREACHER
JUDICIARY CONFERENCE OF THE
METHODIST CHURCH MEETS.
Rev. George =. v. Towards Case Re-
bishop bowman Presiding.

The judiciary conference of the Method
list Episcopal Church held an official ses-
sion at Roberts Park yesterday afternoon,
Bishop Bowman, OF st. Louis, presiding.
The conference was called to consider the
appeal of Rev. George :. V. Howard, who
was before the Northern Indiana Confer
ence at the last annual sitting of that body.
The reverend gentleman was charged
with immoral conduct before the confer
ence at Elkhart. and peremptorily dis
missed from the church. Mr.. Howard for
merly occupied an important position in the
Northern Indiana Conference, hut left his
work temporarily two years ago. He suf-
fered from defective vision. and went to
Chicago to have his eyes treated. While
there he engaged in the book publishing
business. and during the process OF issuing

failed TO return the funds. After a time he
was arraigned in the courts on the charge
of obtaining money under false pretenses.
He was INDICATED. however, and the case
dismissed. A few months later the confer
ence. with which he was yet identified. was
called to consider charges of a serious ma
tuTe preferred by a Chicago lady. and his
expulsion was the result OF the investiga-
tons pursued by the body. Mr.. Howard at
once appealed to the judiciary conference
for a rehearing. and a session was called
for this city. The judiciary conference is
composed Of twenty-seven member select
ed from the Northwest, Northeast and In
diana conferences. All of the representa-
tives were present yesterday.
The prosecution was conducted by Revs.
Miller. OF Peru. Rev. G. II. Brown. of New
Castle. and Rev. MIR. Parr. of Kokomo.
represented Mr.. Howard. The latter was
not present. His representatives asked for
"A rehearing OF the case on very important
grounds. II was claimed that Mr.. Howard
was unable to be present at the Elkhart
conference on account OF the illness of his
wife, and thus was prevented from defend
ing himself. II was further urged that
much new evidence had been secured of an
eNtenuating character. TIE judiciary con-
ference considered the appeal the greater
part or the afternoon, and finally decided to
remand the case 10 the next General Con-
ference. There We're no other appeals to
be heard. Members OF the conference de-
sire IL known that the George 5. V. How
ard who was on trial yesterday is not the
Howard whose unsavory operations with
fictitious English estates are we'll known.

was one which Mr.. Dunn failed to under

mystery whatever about it, and he desired
that the board should see ii simply as it
