A Double Comedy Bill Giyen-East

There was q clear, beautiful night for the
open air performance at Armstrong; Park

company. ''Pique for Pique," a short
sketch, was given as a curtain raiser.
While this piece was under way last Mon

the effect OF it. The company last night
presented it in a very creditable manner.

MORE THAN FORTY MILLIONS.
Another Alleged English Estate and
Local Claimant.

Louis Borel, a laborer employed at
Kingan's, and who resides at 254 West
Pearl street, is looking anxfousiy FORWARD
TO the time when he shall come into the
enjoyment Of an estate valued away UP
in the millions OF dollars. The wealth Is
to come. If it really exists, through an
uncle Of Mrs. Rosine Borel. mother of
Louis Borel. The value of the estate is
placed at the neat figure of S42,OOo,0O0. Mr..
Borel says that the uncle of his mother,
from whom the fortune is to come, was a
Frenchman by birth. Early in life he
moved to England and afterwards TO India,
where he engaged in business. He was very
successful in his business enterprise, so
the story goes, and in addition to the
wealth which he accumulated by his own
effort, he married, while in India, a very
wealthy woman. Later he returned to
England. and soon after his return his
wife died. A few years later the uncle,
whose name was David l.. Benoit, died.
leaving 40 children surviving him His
only heirs, Mr.. Borel says, was his mother,
two sisters and a brother, among wnom
the estate should have been divided. The
heirs did not appear, however, at the time
Of the death of the wealthy Benoit and his
estate has accumulated since his decease.
Both of Mrs. Rosine Borels sisters and
her brother now reside in Switzerland, and
she herself is now in that country. 1t was
Willy ID % III 1LAls ONAA1A tAlGLN
Mrs. Borel first learned that there was an
estate to which IL was thought she was one
of the heirs. Her sister saw an advertise
ment in a paper concerning the estate and
replied to It. Afterwards 1t came to the
knowledge OF Mrs Borel.
1t seems that thus far the only knowl-
edge of the existence of the estate that is
possessed by the Borels is obtained through
an attorney, who tells them that he be-
lieves they are the legal heirs to the mill
lions that have been unclaimed for twenty
years, the time that has elapsed since the
death of Davis L. Benoit. Mr.. Borel, of
this city, Is in correspondence witt his
mother in Switzerland regarding the mil
lions. and believes that he Will get a part
of the vast estate in time. If the estate
is, in fact, awaiting claimants, and was
the property OF Benoit. the share of Mrs.
Borel in 1T would amount to one-fourth of
s42, 10000. Mrs. Rosine Borel has five chill
dren living, all of whom are anxiously
awaiting the. time when she shall be put
into possession of her fortune. These chill
dren are Mrs. Vault, of Lake Mahapoc,
n. Y; Eduard and Fred Borel, both of Mt.
Caramel, N. "; Mrs. Aline Baker, of New
Canaan, Conn.,, and Louis Borel, of this
city. The latter is q laboring man, and is
past fifty years of age. He has hopes that
the fortune is awaiting him. and exhibited
to a Journal reporter last night letters
which he had received from his sister at
Lake Mahapoc, in which she speaks hope
fully of receiving the money. There have
been a great many reports of big estates
in England awaiting American claimants,
and almost invariably these estates have
been castles in Spain.

GUILTY OF
Judge BAKER Lenfent with Terre
Haute's A. r.. u. President.


Haute's A. X. Z. President.
lean Railway Union at Terre Haute, and
a. III. Daniels, chief of the strike commit
tee, were found guilty of contempt in the
United States Court yesterday. Both were
severely criticised by Judge Baker and al
owed to go on their future good behavior.
The cases of Scholtz and Daniels were the
last to be disposed of by the federal court.
The prisoner Scholtz was charged with
indulging in highly infamrnatory language
during the strike. On one occasion he is
quoted as declaring that the stars on the
letters a K. u placed, there instead.
He was also accused of threatening that
every man who did not join the strike
would, after the trouble was over and the
contest won, be branded with a red-hot
iron. ScholtZ conducted his own defense,
and while he admitted that many of the
charges were true he insisted that he Lad
ndulged in his anarchistic assertions
through a spirit of fun.
Daniels was accused of having attempted
TO intimidate Superintendent Corbett, of
the T.. * II. II. railway at Terre Haute.
1t was charged that he hurled a stone into
the superintendeEt's Office and tempered
with. private books and papers in the tele-
graph office. Daniels is a member of the
Peoples party, and is & candidate for the
Office of clerk of Vigo county.
Judge Baker, in referring to Scholtz's re-
marks regarding the American flag, said
that he had no objection to the Country
having a new flag, but he was confident
that when the old banner was deposed and
another put up in its place the whole body
OF the American people would have a hand
flag simply emblematic OF the Railway
Union would be introduced in the country,

MEETING OF MAYORS

Matters Relating tn City Government
Fireman Matthew Rogers on
Trial for Drunkenness.

Mayor Fred c. Bandell, of Crawfords-
vile. has written Mayor Denny, asking
him to call a convention of the Mayors OF
Indiana cities TO meet in this city to con-
slider matters relating to city government
Mayor Denny has not yet decided whether
he will consent to issue the call or not. He
has replied to Mayor Bandeu that If such
a convention is called, in his opinion, it
should be called during the session OF the
Legislature next year. The purpose OF call
ing the convention at this time, If at all,
would be in order that the Mayors might
know what legislation concerning city gov
eminent was contemplated by the Legis-
lature. 1t would also be a convenient time
for the convention TO ask for any legisla-
ton relating TO the government Of cities
that might seem advantageous.

English's-The Georgia M~instreIs.

There was a good-sized audience at Eng
lish's last night and fun reigned fast and
furious for we'll on to three hours. The
attraction was the Georgia Minstrels, and
these cobored performers certainly fur
nished sweet music and entertainment in
plenty. Their singing, dancing and comic
features are exceptionally clever and they
give a bright performance all through.
Billy Kersands and James White, the
latter an Indianapolis man, furnish much
of the fun in the first part. They are aided
by James Moore and Billy Reynolds. Ker-
sands, of course, is ~well-known to every
body as the most famous of all colored
numerous features in the first part which
mere i~pretentious minstrel organizations
would do well to copy, though it would
these Georgias do. The crap" same which
concludes this part is ve-y amusing.
In the olio is Jalvin, the juggler. who in
line and who is much better than the usual
run of j~ugglers- The female impersona-
tons of Gouze are among the best ever
Hillman. Vernon and White-do a clever
act, and the Crescent City quartet is an
excellent one. Its selections are, however,
quartet would stick to godd old negro
melodies they would be more generally
appreciated. Their voices are all right and
the only mistake they make is in the choice
of songs. Billy Kersands is, of course, en-
pertaining in his speciality. The cake walk,
which concludes the performance, is a gen.
uine representation of that favorite pastime
among the colored people. 1t is done 10
the life. The entire show is good. The ann
of the GeorgiaS is to give an old-time
minstrel performance and they. give il we'll.
