GIVEN LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
LOttie Bruce, COnsOrt Of Notorious
Burglar, Sent Out of Town,

Lottie Bruce visited friends in this city
The announcement was made through the
medium of the police instead of the society
reporter. She is known in nearly every
large city in the country as the burglar
queen" and her appearance in a city is al
most invariably forerunner of burglarfes
and foot-padding. She was arrested by de-
tectives Kinney and Richards upon the
street Monday night, and arraigned in the
Police Court yesterday morning. She was
then very anxious to leave the city, and
Superintendent Powell said the police de-
partment would be satisfied if she would
leave. Judge Stubs then fined her $50 and
released her upon promise to leave the city.
She was given till yesterday noon to Shake
the dust of the city from her feet. She
asked that the time be extended till o'clock
as she could not prepare for her departure
by noon. The time was extended and she
was watched to see that she left the city.
She is the wife of Frank Bruce, the noted
burglar and safeblower who was sentenced
TO twelve years in the Prison South from
Terre Haute, and is now doing time in
the southern penitentiary.

STONE MASONS FINISH
Convention Has Been the Most
Successful the Union Has Held.
Treasury i'm Good Condition-Notes of q
Defaulting Ex-Treasurer-Old Of
ficers Reelected.

The stone-masons' international conven-
ton adjourned at o'clock last evening
after busy and important session Of eight
days. Much of the business transacted by
the body was of little interest to the pub
lie but of great Importance to the order.
Yesterday the committee reports were COM
pleted and accepted. The utmost harmony
prevailed, and the delegates unite in the
assertion that the convention just closed
has been an exceedingly agreeable and
pleasant one. After settling all outstand-
ing Indebtedness the convention adjourns
with a surplus Of 81, 500 in the treasury. Set
Elements were made with a number Of
subordinate unions which had overpaid
their assessment during the strike at
Liverpool, o.. a year ago. The amounts
paid back to the subordinate lodges will be
of great assistance in the maintenance of
unemployed and needy members.
Three years ago the treasurer OF the
International Union embezzled s27OO, and
a short time afterward was killed in an
accident at Baltimore, Md. Before his
death there was an effort made to COM
promise the matter and the union accepted
yet unpaid, and at this session of the
union the matter of their collection
discussed. The members think it hardly
probable that they will ever realize any
yesterday the delegates passed resolutions
thanking the Journal and Labor Signal for
efforts in securing accurate reports of the
conventions doings.
The old staff of national officers were
retained as follows:
President-John McCregor, Indianapolis.

DECLARED A DRAW
Scientific Glove Contest" Be-
tween Wrade and Evans.
Referee, as Usual, Gets the Worst of 1t
Ten Rounds Fought at Mozart
Hail Last Night.

The glove contest at Mozart Hall last
night between Chris Wrade and Wiley
Evans resulted in a draw through favorit-
ism or ignorance on the part Of the referee,
Arthur Stackpole. The contest was for
scientific points and of ten rounds. Capt.
Campbell, Sergeant Hyland and sew
eral patrolmen We're in the hall TO see that
the scientific contest was not turned into
n fight to a finish.
The first two rounds were uneventful,
and neither man landed effectively upon
his opponent. In the third round Evans
landed on Wrade's nose and brought
stream of blood from the nasal organ. The
next two rounds We're tame, with con-
siderable running about the ring on the
part of Evans Wrade was compelled to
take the aggressive. In the sixth round
Evans continued his sprinting tactics and
Wrade followed him closely, landing sew
eral times heavily and receiving light body
blows in return. During the progress of
the seventh round Evans became the ag-
gressor, but was repulsed. Wrade landed
heavily upon Evans's chin and tried to
follow it up, but Evans avoided the sec
ond blow by duckng, and reached Wrade's
chin as he rose. Evans then led, but was
repulsed by his opponent, who sent the
negro against the ropes. Before Wrade
could follow up his advantage time was
called. In the eighth round Evans again
tried his sprintng. After considerable
parrying he landed heavily on Wrade's
face by springing from his feet and strik-
ing downward Wrade landed lightly on
Evans's left cheek, and the negro
turned Wrade landed heavily with his right
In the negros face. In the ninth round
the negro twice attempted to rush his op-
p0nent, but both times came to a sudden
stop when he bumped against Wrade's fist.
Wrade had decidedly the best of the round,
but went TO his corner at the call of time
bleeding freely from the nose. At the call
for the tenth and last round both men
stepped briskly to the center Of the ring
and shook hands. Evans was very spry
and sprang about much after the fashion
Of a decapitated chicken. His peregrina-
tons failed to confuse his opponent, how
Ing downwards but failed to accomplish
anything. Wrade landed several times
heavily on the body. There con-
siderable running about the ring and wild,
call of time Wrade came to his corner
with blood flowing from his nose.
The referee announced that he would
have to declare the contest a draw He
said that Wrade had five clean points the
advantage Of the contest. but he thought
that these five points were offset by the
negro drawing blood several times on his
opponent Afterwards, In talking of the
match, the referee said he thought Wrade
mad a slight advantage Of his opponent
points.
Arthur Stackpole acted as referee and
Chris Zimmerman time keeper Wrade
was seconded by William Gaylor and Amel
Keple, and Evans was seconded by James
Johnson Preceding the ten-round contest
a number Of three-round sparring exhi-
bftiOQS were given

Board of Safety Changes Regulation
for Police and Firemen.

Board of Safety Changes Regulation
for Police and Firemen.
After hearing the charges against Sergeant
Lowe. last night, the Board of Safety de-
cided to amend the fire force regulations so
that hereafter all members of the force must
not be less than five feet eight inches in
height and between the ages OF twenty-four
and forty. Policemen must come within the
same limit of age. The board, however, will
make exceptions to this rule where IL Is
shown that a man is peculiarly fitted for his
duties and has rendered efficient services in
the department where he serves.
1t was decided to ask the city attorney
If it was necessary for the board to have
appraisers appointed by the Circuit Court
in order TO sell condemned horses and mate
rial in the fire department. Edward Logs
don, the driver of chemical No. i, offered
his resignation to the board. 1t was accept
ed. Logsdon is going into business. Richard
Brown, having passed a SATISFACTORY exam
nation, was appointed to n position in the
fire department. NJ. \. Miller, a Merchant
policeman, who has been watching the mar
ket house, was dropped from the pay roll.
The regular police force will look after this
duty.
Complaint was made that since the quar-
terly payment of firemen went into force,
the firemen have been sending 10 the Board
of Safety office orders Tor their salary; Inc
board announced that 1t would not honor
these orders.
Marketmaster Koehne wanted the board
to make some provisions for the gardeners
on the space formerly occupied by the hay
market. He said the city would gain
8 500 year in rent by making this improve
ment. He also had a plan for building a
city hall the site, similar to that given
several weeks ago in the Journal His COM
munication was referred TO the Board of
Works. with a request that the board either
re-rent the ground now occupied by the hay
market on West Maryland street or make
arrangements for another suitable site. L.
J. Metzger, who rents to the city for
stable the ground next 10 the stationhouse
wanted the board 10 pay the sprinkling as
sesSment for the property. 1t was found
that the lease for the property had been
made by the old Board of Safety and was
therefore Illegal according to the recent de-
cision OF the city attorney. The matter was
referred to the Board of Works.
The board looked over n number of plans
for n new patrol wagon submitted by Super
intendent Powell.

Improvement of South Meridian street from
Washington To the Union tracks. The ma
terial was not named, as that will be de-
termined upon after the sentiment Of the

n,its It's Annual Report.
The annual report Of the Board Of Works,
which is 10 be given shortly to the Mayor,
will call attention to the unsatisfactory
system of street sweeping and sprinkling
and the manner of making assessments.
The board thinks the charter should be
amended in some manner to make the as
SeSsmentS and the system more equitable.
The garbage contract Is also commented
upon The board does not believe ii is
a success as il is enforced at present. IT,
board wants the overhead wires in the
downtown districts put under the ground
In statistics furnished IL is shown that the
system of cleaning the streets by hand
is much more expensive than cleaning
them by machines, although the machine
method is not by far so satisfactory.
The new board has let contracts for near
ly four miles of sewers, aggregating q cost
of more than $1l1.000.
