THE FALL SPECTACLE
ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE SEPTEM-
BIER LAST DAYS OF POMPEII."
Lincoln Park, mt Central Avenue and
Sixteenth Street, the Location
for the Affair.

The business men of the city, who, in
conjunction with the State Board of Agri-
culture and the Driving Club Association,
are arranging for the production here in
September of the great historic spectacle,
The Last Days of Pompeii," have, through
the respective committees, already begun
the work of preparing for it. The purpose
of the enterprise is not only to present
series of unique and elaborate outdoor en-
tertainments, such as have never been seen
in this city, for the benefit of residents,
but also to make them attractive that
they will draw TO the city thousands of
strangers. This has been done in many
other cities with beneficial results, and IL
the experiment should prove successful here
these fall spectacles will continue from
year TO year. 1t is in no sense money
making scheme, but purely a public enter
prise. The expenses of the spectacle will
be very great, in excess of $4,000, and the
gentlemen who promoting the enter
prise will be more than satisfied If the re-
ceipts of the various entertainments will be
great the expenses, thus making it
unnecessary to assess the subscribers to
the guarantee fund.
James Pains company, with which the
contract has been made for the "Last
Days of Pompeii," is the greatest manu-
facturer of fireworks in the world 1t is
putting spectacles similar to this in
about thirty-five cities of the country this
year, and is the only company which has
the finacial ability and experience to do
these things properly. The spectacle to be
given here will include ten performances,
beginning about Sept. and continuing
three weeks, not on consecutive nights,
however. There will be three hundred peo-
pie engaged in the presentation. and there
VIII be one thousand dollars worth of
pyrotechnic displays each night, this MAX
ing the undertaking such expensive one.
The series of pictures tableauX, group
ings, marchings. etc, Will illustrate va
rious events in the history of Pompeii,
by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius-a
thrilling scene Many people here have
seen these SpectacleS in other cities, and
are therefore well Informed as to their
magnitude and attractiveness. Those who
have not seen them have a treat in store.
given in Lincoln Park, near the corner OF
Sixteenth street and Central avenue. a
great amount of work Will be necessary in
building ampitheaters, artificial lakes, etc,
and this will begin within the next few
days. The Central-aVenue electric line,
and probably the Talbott-avenue line
we'll will be extended to Lincoln Park,
will afford ample street-car facilities. The
ten performances will extend over the time
of the State fair, and the driving club
meeting, and another week well. The
managers of the enterprise say that this
spectacle should not be confused with
are. purely private undertakings for money

pied two weeks before Judge Bartholomew.

tempt on the part of the defendants to
dispute the liability Of one Of the COM
panies. but each tried to shift the blame
upon the other. The jury finds that the
Trust company is the one liable. The at
torneys for the Indianapolis company sub
mitted thirty-two interrogatories TO the
jury, each Of which were answered by

Ed Griffin. colored, was arrested yester-
day a charge of assault and battery
with intent to kill. Friday night Griffin
hit Julia Mills, colored, with a brick on
South Capitol avenue. The woman bled
freely and was painfully injured. Her
condition is not serious. Patrolmen Asche
and Leppert had been looking for Griffin
for some time past as he is wanted on
other charges. Patrolman Asche resides
on Virginia avenue, near Prospect street.
Yesterday morning he got a citizen who
knew Griffin TO watch for him and when
he saw him to report at Asches house.
The citizen saw Griffin about O'Clock
standing on a corner waiting for a car and
he hurried to the officers house He
found Asche in bed, and the latter quickly
dressed and went out in the street. Just
then a street car passed with Griffin on il.
The car was going too rapidly for Asche
TO get on it, and SO he sought the services
# a neighbOr with horse and buggy. AL
though Griffin did not know IL, the officer
indulSed in an exciting chase. Griffin was
finally captured in an alley near Indiana

FOUND DEAD IN THE CANAL.
Grocer Schaefer Either Committed Sui
eide or Fell Off a'Trestle.

Yesterday morning, shortly before 6
O'Clock, Thomas Powell and James Baugh
employees of the Acme Milling Company,
discovered the body of dead man floating
in the canal under some trestlework just
west of Blackford street. The two men
were going home from work and were
crossing the trestle when they discovered
the body. One OF the men secured a rake
and the body was pulled to the shore.
While the body lay on the bank it was
identified by persons who had gathered
Gerry at No. go West Washington street.
Coroner Beck was summoned and while
waiting his arrival the men who discov-
cred the body examined the place
where the body had been found.
The water is about six feet deep.
No signs of struggle could be seen. The
men decided that Schaefer had either com
mitted suicide or had met death by acct
dental drowning. The coroner arrived and
examined the body and found a slight
bruise on the forehead just above the right
eye This for time gave rise TO the opin-
ion that Schaefer had been struck blow
by a robber and was afterward thrown
in the canal while unconscious. However,
when his clothing was searched Sis.05 was
found, and this dispelled the theory that IL
was murder.
The body was removed 10 the morgue of
KregelO. Son AZ Irwin. and Coroner Beck
went TO No. 107 Bright street where Schaef-
er resided, to notify mis- wife. She said

A DOMESTIC'S PECULIAR DEATH.
Emelia LAUDER May Have Died from
Heat or from Poison.

Emelia LAUDER died under suspicious cir
cumstances, about o'clock last night at
the residence of Julius Keller, on the south
west corner of Delaware and South streets
She probably died from her own hands
but there is little evidence to establish
the fact and none directly showing such
to be the case. She was twenty years of
age, and had been in this country but
two weeks. Her father is dead and she
and a sister fourteen years of age left
her mother in Germany and came to this
country. She came direct TO this city, and
went to the home of her uncle, Gerfas
Voegeli, a carpenter, residing at No. 75l
South East street She resided with him
for about six days. when she went to the
home of julius Keller, where she was en-
ployed as a domestic. She has been home
sick ever since arriving in this country,
although her relatives endeavored to have
her overcome the feeling. She was told
that if she did not like her work with
Keller she might return at any time to the
home of her uncle, but she did not COM
plain of the work or treatment she re-
ceived at the place.
Yesterday evening, while preparing sup
per for the bartender employed by Keller
in his saloon in front of his residence
she seemed to be i'll, and Keller asked
her the cause of her apparent illness. She
replied that she had burned her hand,
which afterwards found TO be fact.
He told her to go upstairs and lie down
If she was sick In a few minutes he
found her lying upon the stairway with
her head resting on her arm. lie agdl.
asked what was the matter, and received
an unntellgible reply. His wife was alb
sent from home and Keller Immediately
Urinary for a physician. There was none
there, and then several of the neighbors
were sent for and came in. Within Il few
minutes after she was found upon the
stairs she was apparently dead. Coroner
Beck was notified and responded iInmedi-
ately. When he arrived he found the girl
not vet dead, and succeeded in getting up
artificial respiration for short time, but
she was too far gone to be entirely re-
ViVed
Relatives of the girl refuse to believe
that she took her own life, and DIR. Beck
says there is no positive evidence of the
fact. Police Surgeon kahlO was also
called to the scene by Captain Quigley.
Both he and DIR. Beck said that it was
impossible to say what caused death. She
was so nearly dead before the coroner ar
TO base an opinion. DR.. Kahlo did not ar
rive until after she was dead The relatives
think she was overcome by the heat. She
had performed hard days work over the
stove in the kitchen, and had just left the
kitchen when she first complained of being
sick Mr.. Keller says she was not out of
the house during the whole day and there
soon after death erisor mortis set in. which
might be an indication of strychnine poison
ing, but this is the only fact upon which
such an opinion could be based.

High a. $1,000.

The Adams Express Company has not
yet secured any clew to the whereabouts
of John Duncan, its West Indianapolis

not be ascertained till the different roints
upon which money orders were sold are
heard from. The books have been hidden
or destroyed. Duncan sold out his fruit
stand for 500 and his horse and buggy for
SO. Walter Rutledge, the young man now
in charge OF the Office, says Mrs Duncan
