SHOT BY A SALOON KEEPER.
william Sayce May Die rs the Result
of m Wound.

Louis Weber, a saloon keeper on West
Addison street, North Indianapolis, yester-
day accidentally shot and possibly fatally
wounded William Sayce, residing on East
Addison street. The shooting occurred
about 6 o'clock last evening in the formers
saloon. A number of young men of North
Indianapolis, including Sayce, his brother
George and Weber, engaged in a ball game
during the afternoon on a large commons
near their homes. After the game, which
ended about $50 o'clock, the three and sew
eral friends went TO Weber's saloon to get
drinks. The wounded man is recognized as
a jovial fellow. AS the party stood before
the bar, with Weber behind it, William
Sayce ordered the drinks for all, and after
wards asked Weber how much they were,
at the same time producing 65 cents. Weber
said the drinks amounted to So cents, and
Sayce laughingly remarked, as he handed
over Is cents to him: Here, Weber, old
boy, is fifteen cents. 1 will pay you the
rest som other time" The crowd, includ-
ing Weber, took the matter good naturally,
but the latter reached to a drawer and OBJ
tanned a revolver. He pointed it towards
Sayce, who was facing him, leaning on the
bar. Sayce and his companions laughed as
Weber said: ''You will, will you? 1 would
rather have the money now But as
Weber was talking his forefinger accident
ally pressed the trigger, and as he finished
there was a report and Sayce fell to the
floor with a bullet in his right side. There
was CONSERVATION among those in the sa-
loon. The u man rose to his feet,
and, with a cry that he was shot, stag
gered to a chair in the yard near the sa-
loon. His companions and Weber followed
him. Weber was greatly shocked at the
result of his carelessness. To the astonish-
ment Of all, Sayce seemed to show no effect
of his injury, but asked to be assisted to
his home, about three blocks away. He
was taken there on a cot. DR.. III. o. Pant
ger was summoned and made an examina-
ton of the wound. During the examination
Sayce chalted with those around his bed
side, and said the shooting was accidental.
He said he and Weber had always been
good friends, and that he did not want him
prosecuted. At this point Chief Splann and
another officer arrived at the. house, but on
hearing Sayce'S statements and those of his
family, who also desired hat Weber be not
arrested. they did not arrest him, but told
him that in case OF Sayce's death the for
mafity of law would compel the police TO
take him into custody.
DR.. Panther said the bullet had pierced
the right side of the stomach and had
lodged in the back, but that there was no
immediate danger. Acting under the sug-
g~estions of Weber, Sayce was removed TO
the City Hospital. where at a late hour last
night he was resting easy. Sayce is twen-
ty-two years old and unmarried. He Is a
brickmason by trade, and one OF the strong
est men physically in North Indianapolis.
The statements OF the witnesses to the
shooting all agree that 1t was accidental.

TRAUB ENDS HIS LIFE
SUICIDE OF A PEARL-STREET SA-
LOON KEEPER WHO HAD TROUBLE.
He Was Under Indictment for shoot
ing n Woman-Accidental Shoot
Ing mt North indianapolis.

Gottleib Traub. OF the firm of Traub &
Madsen, saloon keepers at No. % West
Pearl street, shot himself twice in the
left side. last night, shortly after 8 o'clock,
in his room above the saloon, and died
within fifteen minutes afterwards. Traub,
after being with some friends in the sa-
loon during the evening. went to his room,
presumably to retire for the night. At 8
o'clock two pistol shots were heard in
quick succession coming from his room.
Those In the saloon and the police officers
on the beat hurried to Traub's room, but
found it locked. The door was pried open,
and he was found lying on the bed, gasp
ing. The bed was colored to a crimson
with his blood, and two bullet holes on
his left side above the heart explained the
affair. Traub made a feeble attempt to
speak to those in the room. but he was
too weak. He lay on the bed gasping for
breath for fifteen minutes before he died.
DIR. league. Traub's cousin, residing at
No. Sc North Mississippi street, was sum
moned, but he could do nothing.
The act was premeditated. 1t is also be-
Heved that the dead mans mind was unbal-
anced. On the night of last July 4, while
in Ada Webster's resort on South New Jer-
sey street, he fired a revolver several times,
and one of the bullets went through a
window of the house in the rear and struck
Lottie Russell on the cheek. Traub was
arrested oil a charge of shooting with in
tent to kill and was indicted by the grand
jury. His trial was to have been held
soon. He worried considerably about this
affair, and to many of his friends and rel
atives he appeared to ave partly lost his
reason. After Traub's death Madsen found
some papers in the safe, which had evil
IDENTIFY been placed there by him several
days ago, in which he asked that the re-
ceipts OF his interest in the saloon be
turned over to his relatives.
Traub was thirty-two years old and I'M
married. His mother resides at No. Ill
Fort Wayne avenue. The dead man was
of a large family. Several of his brothers
are prosperous business men in this city.
The funeral services will be held tomorrow.

NEW CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL.
Plans for a 500. 900 Structure on North
Meridian Street.

In the not far distant future work will
begin upon a new Roman Catholic cathe-
dral on North Meridian street. adjoining
the Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul. AS
yet the work Is somewhat In embryo.
although it has been under consideration
BY the bishop for some time past, and
plans for the new cathedral have been
drawn and a perspective OF it hangs on
the wall of the reception parlor at the
bishops residence. The bishop recently
purchased the Haugh and the Cox property
on North Pennsylvania street just south
OF Fifth street, thus giving the church a
frontage OF 200 feet on both Pennsylvania
and Meridian streets, and 400 feet on Fifth
street. The new cathedral Will be caEed
SIS. Peter and Paurs, and take the
place of the present chapel there. When 1t
Is completed 1t will be one of the hand
somest cathedrals in the West, but 1t will
probably be some time before the entire
work is completed. The church viii be of
the renaissance style of architecture, like
mmet OF arrangement. 1t will be erect
ed upon the south end OF the property,
and the priests residence will be built
between 1t and the bishops residence.
The cathedral will be surmounted by
spires at either side of the front. It's ex-
terror Will be without superiuous orna-
mentation. the line being more OF a conSid-
Grafton than ornamentation. The skill of
the ornamentor that Is 10 be lavished will
be applied TO oeautifying the interior. The
nave will be at least 200 feet long and ST
least As feet wide, while the transept will
be so or SIS feet The front and principal
walls OF the cathedral will be OF stone.
The decoration OF the interior has not yet
received much consideration, but will be
as elaborate as the funds will permit. The
probable cost of the church will exceed
100000. Few OF the details have as yet
been finally determined upon. The plans
that have been prepared and submitted for
approval were drawn by Renwick. Aspin-
wall q Co.. or New York. They do not
exactly meet the approval Of Bishop Cha
tard, and there will be some material
changes made in them. The entrance TO
the church VIII be reached by about four
steps.

AT ROBERTS PARK CHURCH.
Sermon by Mrs. Louise 8. Rounds
President of Illinois w. G.. II. II.

auditorium. On the platform were Mrs. L.

I. u, Mrs. Louise S. Rounds, president
of the Illinois W.. c.. L. u, and Rev. r. 1.
Coultas, pastor of the church. Fer the
morning lesson Mrs. Rounds read part of
the sixth chapter of Ephesians. explaining
various verses as she proceeded. After a
song by Miss Sweenie and Mr.. Davis, Mrs.
Beck presented Mrs. Rounds as the speak
er for the morning. Mrs. Rounds said:
81 consider it a great honor to stand be-
fore the W.. G. T. U. Of Indiana and voice
their sentiments in this cause, and 1 count
it an honor to stand in this pulpit and
have this pastor give me his welcome.
We all believe the church of Christ to be
the greatest and grandest organization this
world has ever seen. None of us desire
any separation in the work of the church
and the union. i will take my text from
the sixth chapter of Matthew, and yet 1
am not a minister. Hands have never been
laid on my head and 1 cannot write
reverend before my name nor ID. d. after
1t. No power can keep any man or woman
from telling the old, old story.
on one of the old Egyptian obelisks
there are these words, 'Christus regnet'

not as if Christ had reigned and had
ceased to reign, not for the future. but
in the sublime present tense. A sublime
thought. 1t carries us back TO the manger
where the wise men knelt, it carries us
to Calvary, carries us to that morning
when Mary looked into the tomb, and
carries US to the eternities where Christ
shall be the great central figure and where
we shall cast our crowns at His feet. A
witty man once went to Talleyrand. He
said that man wanted a new faith, a new
gospel, a new form and asked Talleyrand
TO advise him how to establish 1t. 1t is

The point of contact is the cross. and

REV. MARLATT DID NOT PREACH.
Nor Did DIR. Van Anda Appear at the
Broadway NJ. r. Church.

Nor Did DIR. Van Anda Appear at the
broadway vi. f. Church.
The congregation of the little Broadway
M. E. Church worshiped yesterday without
a sign of disturbance. The face OF the
most devout member was as serene as the
blue sky above him and there was nothing
to indicate a dissatisfied congregation. Rev.
A. n. Marlatt, the pastor selected by the
Shelbyville conference for the Broadway
church, did not put in an appearance and
the sermon was delivered by Rev. w. d.
Regan. There was a large attendance yes
terday morning, many Of the audience ex-
pecting to see the familiar face of Rev.
C. A. Van Anda in the pulpit. Rev. Van
Anda, however, was not there. although he
is the choice of the Broadway congrega-
ton. WOODBURY. Mason, superintendent Of
the Sunday school, and a member of the
committee which presented the views of
the church on the pastor question before
the conference last week, said yesterday
hat the congregation had not yet aban-
doned hope of securing Mr.. Van Anda-
1--WE intend to make every effort TO get
him." he continued, but it may not be
that this affair has gained such wide pub
licity, but the time has come when a con-
gregation should have something. to say
first choice was Rev. M. A. Farr, Of
Shelbyville. We informed the conference
at the opening of the session that we should
like to nave Mr.. Farr because We thought
he would fill the special requirements of
this church We found that he could not
come here, and then We asked for Rev.
DIR. Van Anda. we did not accept Rev.
Marlatt because We thought he would not
fill the special requirements of the church.
The salary here is $1,000 a year, but unless
we get a pastor who will draw the people
we could not raise the money. Rev. Mr..
Marlatt, of course, will not insist upon
coming here because he understands our
position. He VIII be sent to some other
point. There will be no trouble about this
matter because the conference will pro-
ceed to appoint some one else. If 1T is inn
possible to secure Mr.. Van Anda we will
get some one who is satisfactory to all.
There are some personal matters In this
case which the public does not, of course,
understand, and upon which L cannot

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. "Superba."
The world famous Hanlons will produce
their new "Superba'' at Engish's Opera
House commencing tonight and continuing
all this week. The mere announcement that
the Hanlons are to bring a production here
is sufficient to draw large houses. "Su-
perba'' comes this time in an entirely new
outfit, and with the promise of the Han
Ions that it far surpasses anything they
lave ever before produced The Hanlons
have made famous a particular style OF en-
t~ertainment. They call 1t a child's dream
of fairyland. In a spectacle like "Superba"
one is never bothered about details. He Is
satisfied to take things as they come, and
laugh at the trials and tribulationS OF poor
Pierrot, which come in such mysterious
form. There are many novel mechanical
effects in 'Superba," among them The
Useful Man." The Magic Mirror and
1.-THE Execution Chair" These tricks are
simply wonderful in their mechanism, and
even a person with the keenest sort OF an
eve cannot detect the illusion. The COM
pany embraces about seventy-fiye people
in all. including Charles Guyer, Bonnie
Goodwin, Maud Midgley, Julie Mackey, the
four Schrode brothers and the Filipi family
OF grotesque dancers. Some idea Of the
magnitude of this production may be under
stood when il is stated that ii requires
three of the longest baggage cars used by
any railroad In the country to transport
their scenery and effects from city to city.
There will be pOpular-priced matinees
Wednesday and Saturday.
