NIGHT IN NORTH INDIANAPOLIS.
All Could Not Get In the Hali-Justus
Adams shows Where Bynum Fell
Down-Big Precinct Meeting.

The attendance on the meetings OF Charles
L. Henry continues everywhere without
abatement. II is more and more evident
Henry addressed a splendid audience at
North Indianapolis. The meeting was TO
have been held in Greenleaf Hall, but
through a misunderstanding regarding the
demonstration the hall could not be Sc
cured Mr.. Henry spoke in the club room
OF the North Indianapolis Lincoln League
to nearly seven hundred people. who. at
times during his address, were wildly en-
thusiastic. Half an hour before the meet
ing the Lincoln League and drum corps
marched through the streets, making a
creditable parade. AT s o'clock the pro-
cession marched to the club room, where
a large crowd had already gathered. The
room was quickly filed, and so spirited
was the rush for the improvised seats that
many were unable to gain an entrance and
were compelled to return home. Probably
two hundred people were turned away.
Captain John Riley, president Of the North
indianapolis Lincoln League, presided over
the meeting and presented Mr.. Henry to
the audience. The appearance of MIR. Henry
was the signal for a tumult OF applause,
which continued for several minutes. The
speaker MADE TWO OF three ineffectual at
tempts TO proceed, and then retired to the
rear Of the platform until the applause
ceased. He was frequently interrupted
during the evening by ringing cheers, that
~Detokened the sentiment of the crowd. A
large per cent. of the audience represented
the manufacturing establishments in the
north part OF the city. and many Of those
who heard the speech were Democrats.

MAGGIE HERRIG'S FATHER.
The Dead Man Recognized at the MOrgue
Yesterday Morning.

Miss Maggie Herrig, only daughter of
Barney Herrig, who died at the City Hos
pital Wednesday night from the effects of
taking rat poison, self-administered, came
here yesterday from her home in Cincinnati.
She is a well-dressed and pretty young
woman, of nineteen years. She wept when
she saw her fathers body at Flanner g.
Buchanan's morgue. Although she had not
seen him for over ten years she recognized
his features at once. She gave an interest
ing story concerning her father. His par
ents and family, wealthy Catholics residing
in Chicago, insisted when he was young
that he become a priest. He refused, they
disinherited him and he left home to make
his way for himself. Following the trade of
a painter, he accumulated considerable real
estate in Chicago and, as his daughter
thinks, a farm in the Northwest. He mar
ried and his daughter, the only child. was
born. Ten years ago, owing to family diff
f%culties, the family separated, Mrs. Herrig
with her daughter taking up her residence
at Meridian and Ray streets in this city,
They lost all trace of Herrig. Five years
ago they moved to Cincinnati. Herrig
learned three months ago the Whereabouts
of his family, and sent them word that he
intended to visit them. That was the last
they ever heard of him, and they could not
explain his silence. Miss Herrig was sur
prised TO see how poorly her father was
dressed. She said that as she last remem-
deal of jewelry. Herrig's remains will prob
ably be buried at Crown Hill Cemetery. No
explanation can be made of his note to a
man named Mayer in Chicago
