tiers. and yesterday afternoon the foreman
of the wagon. B. F. Wormsley, was ar

are mixed up continually and thrown int,

OF snow. The wagon was accompanied by

wagon advertised. Yesterday several run
aways are said to have been caused by the
OUTFIT, ana some one complained. with the
result that Mr.. Wormsley was arrested.
The city ordinance which was violated
states that no wagon shall be driven
through the streets for advertising purposes.
Mr.. Wormsley gave bail, and Immediately
teiegraphed to his house at Pittsburg what
had happened. The house called up Super

ARMSTRONG RELEASED
JUDGE BAKER THINKS HE HAS
BEEN PUNISHED ENOUGH.
The Douglass Pool Room Case ON
Trial Before Judge McCray-At-
tempt to Quash Indictment.

Judge Baker yesterday ordered the clerk
to enter an order of release of Alvin Arm
strong from the Prison North, whittier he
was sent for contempt of court. Armstrong
was a juror in the trial of Frank and Perci-
val B. Coffin, and was led into a scheme by
Frank 0. Stannard, of Lawrence county, by
which Ii was proposed to- defeat a verdict
of guilty. Stannard, 1t will be remembered,
fled, after giving bond, and is still a fugi-
tive. His bond was declared forfeited, and
was paid into court. Judge Baker said yes
terday that Armstrong showed evidence that
he had learned the folly and iniquity of the
good prisoner and having a family who
needed his care, he had decided that the ends
of Justice so far as the contempt charge
was concerned had been fully INDICATED.
The circuit judge and a large number of
the people of Lawrence county signed a
petition asking for Armstrong; release.
The power to release the prisoner rests with
the court, owing to the sentence being for
contempt of court. The indictment for
bribery still hangs over his head and may
be pressed lie the United States district at
torney thinks it desirable But it is proba-
BILE that the court, the attorney included.

he had notified the bondSmen OF Stannard
that If they did not produce lnm in court in
sixty days from that time he would order the

treasury of the United States. The court
has been holding the money with the expec-
tation that if the prisoner was produced ne
would refund the forfeit to the bondsmen.

DOUGLASS pooL-RooM CASE.
Judge McCray Hears Argument on
. states Demurrer to Plea In Bar.

-
In the Criminal Court yesterday, the case
of Samuel L. Douglass manager OF Irons
pool room, came up before Judge McCray.
Douglass was indicted by the Marion county
grand jury several months ago for keep
ing a room where pools are sold" The case
had been set down for trial this morning,
but yesterday afternoon Joseph Healing and
James n. Cropsey. attorneys for douglass
& Co., appeared in the Criminal Court and
filed plea in bar to further prosecution in
the case. The State at once filed demurrer
to the proceedings. The indictment upon
which Douglass was arrested was returned
March S, 1894 The bill was in two counts.
Douglass was charged in the first with
maintaining Il certain room with apparatus,
blackboardS, blanks and other devices for
recording and registering pools upon the
results of trials and contests of skill and
power of endurance of man and beast. The
second count charged Douglass with having

that the defendant was not guilty as charged
in the Indictment that he was tried and

Carlisle was tried in the. city Police Court,
April II. 1894. the charge of gambling
quilted. 1t was further maintained that in
May, 1884,, Douglass was tried before a
Justice of the peace on the same charge
as set out in the Indictment now pending
and was acquitted. The defendants at
torneys insisted that in these several trials
the same witnesses were examined the
same questions that would be presented
under the grand jury Indictment. Douglass's
attorneys moved to quash the indictment
on the ground that defendant could not
be tried for al offense after having been
acquitted of the charge.
The attorneys for the State held that
the prosecution before Justice of the Peace
Johnson was merely subterfuge, resorted
to more than a month after the grand jury
Indictment was returned. 1t warmly
maintained by the prosecution that these
proceedings had been instituted before the
justice for the purpose of getting the case
out of the jurisdiction of the Criminal Court

GEN. CARNAHAN PRESIDENT.
Elected at the Meeting of the State
Soldiers Home Trustees.

The trustees of the Indiana State Sol
diers' Home met here yesterday afternoon,
at the office of Gen. James r. Carnahan.
Col. d. N. Foster, of Fort Wayne; Capt.
G. J. Murphy, of Evansville; James p
Wallace, of Lafayette, and General Carna-
han, of this city, were present. A tele-
gram was received from i. b. Mcdonald,
of Columbia City, who is the fifth member
OF the board, which stated that he was ill
with pneumonia and unable to attend the
meeting of the board. The law provides
that one of the trustees shall serve for one
year, two for two years, and two for three
years, and the tenure of each of the first
board shall be determined by lot. The board
complied with the, law and Mr.. Wallace
was chosen as the one-year trustee. Gen.
Carnahan and Mr.. Mcdonald drew two
year trusteeships, and Colonel Foster and
Captain Murphy three. General Carnahan
was elected president of the board and Col.
Foster treasurer.
The first thing for the consideration of
the new board was the transfer of the
funds in the hands of the Grand Army
to the State. About 81, 600 in cash and n
247-acre farm were ordered turned into the
State treasury for the benefit of the Sol
ders Home fund. The board spent the
most of the afternoon discussing plans for
the home and the proper steps to pursue
in the erection of the buildings. No speci-
fications have been examined and the talk
was merely expressions made by the diff
ferent members of the board. The law re-
Gently passed designates the buildings to
be erected, so the board has nothing to do
but see that the law is properly carried
out. A trip will be made to Lafayette with
in a few days to examine the proposed site.
AS soon as the members OF the board can
them they will advertise for bids upon
the buildings. Work will begin soon, and
soldiers of the State will have home by
next fall.

SITUATION OF THE BREAD WAR.


Between thirty and forty friends and
sympathizers of the union bakers met last
night at Mozart Hall in answer to the call
for public mass meeting of labor union
men. 1t was not observable by the
speeches made and the enthusiasm with
which they were met that the union has
any thought of declaring the boycott off.
The sentiment of the meeting was that it
should be continued. Ed Gould made a
speech, in which he referred to a number
of boycotts that have been successful. and
he said that no labor union is successful
without il has occasional trouble.
Previous to the meeting Peter Bryce, who
has been one of the many interested in
the war, met with a committee of the
bakers and urged that they declare the
boycott off. Mr. Bryce said the union
bosses had done everything in their power
for the union bakers, and he thought it
could not be longer expected of them to
keep up the fight. The committee declined
to heed Mr.. Bryce's advice, but said the
members of the union were willing to suf-
fer reduction in wages, so that the war
can be continued. 1t is said that all the
boss bakers are anxious for compromise.
They are not making anything selling
bread at cents loaf, and the union men
have received assurance that PARROT &
Taggart are paying union wages.
