AND FIREWORKS
! COMBINATION THAT BROUGHT
ABOUT TEN FIRE ALARMS.
Mrs. b. +. Burgess Seriously Burned
While Rushing Through the
Flames for Her Child.

Small boys and fire crackers were re-
sponsible for a fire at the corner of Douglas
street and Indiana avenue, yesterday after
noon, which came near resulting in the
death of Mrs. B. F. Burgess. She is the
wife Of a grocer at that number and when
the cry Of fire vas given she rushed into
the flames, thinking her three-year-old
child was asleep in a rear room. She
was horribly burned about the read and
breast and last night her condition was
very serious. The alarm came in about 3
O'Clock. the fire having started in the rear
of the grocery. Mrs. Burgess was in a
room over the store, She rushed through
the flames and down into the room in the
rear of the grocery to find that her child
was not there, having been removed. The
fire did about 500 worth of damage.
The department answered ten alarms yes
terday and last evening, but the total loss
for the day amounts to less than X0t. In
cause and in a majorIty of them small bows
played an important part. The most costly
loss was that of last evening when the
stable at No. 334 Cornell avenue, owned
by Alfred Jenkins, was destroyed. An
alarm from the neighborhood of Washing
ton and Illinois streets at the same time
Jor1ty of the fire companies were at the
Cornell-avenue fire and responding to a
Belt and III East Washington Va hialfo0's street. II He are
ing the bells ringing for the three different
alarms, many people rushed to South ILL.,
nois street. Only the reserve of the de-
partment was left to respond, but fortu-
nately the fire. was nothing more serious
than a burning awning set afire by falling
fireworks.
A majority of the alarms came in be-
tween IL and 3 O'Clock in the daytime.
The department was called to No. "a Maple

HELD A RAINBOW FETE.
Fourth OF July Amusement for the
Girls at the Reform School.

One Of the p~rettiest features Of yester-
days celebration in this city was the rain
bow fete or national flower contest given at
the Reform School for Girls. Forty-eight
Of the inmates took part in the exercises.
Visitors were not admitted indiscriminately.
although a number of people were invited to
the institution aside from the board of di-
rectors. The entertainment was given in
the chapel of the Reform School depart
nent at 8 o'clock. The chapel was prettily
decorated with the American flag and long
streamers of bunting. The exercises were
under the immediate charge of Miss May
Patterson. instructor in the department of
physical culture, and Miss Cora Shepperd.
teacher of the primary classes. Miss Pat
terson, as Columbia" occupied q minia-
ture throne, and received her subjects as
they came before her with a favorite flower.
AS the girls approached the throne of Co
lumbia,' each CARRIED in the color of the
flower she represented. they sang patriotic
songs and executed difficult drills and
marches. The rose, the violet. the pansy
and the golden rod all were laid at the feet
OF the queen, while the applicant gracefully
sued for favor. The different evolutions Of
the drill were executed with a precise on that
indicated careful training. The entertain
ment was viewed by all Of the inmates of
prison. At the end of the exercises one of
the girls stepped to the platform and
thanked the superintendent and officials for
the enjoyment the day had afforded. Then,
as the participants in the fete marched from
the chapel, they joined in the song Amer
ica."
Superintendent Keely will have the en-
tertainment repeated and allow only the
inmates of the prison to witness it. 1t is
the rule of the institution to keep the in
mates Of the two departments separated.
The women who are serving sentences for
the various degrees Of crime are not per-
mitted to mingle with their younger sisters
of the Reform School. Yesterday the pris-
oners were given the freedom of the lawn
for. an hour, and apparently enjoyed 1t.

VERY DRY HOLIDAY
SALOON KEEPERS GENERALLY OBJ
SERVED THE NICHOLSON LAW.
Philip Zapf Proposes to Test the Res

Had a beer Cellar.

Yesterday was the dryest day this city
has ever seen. The workings of the Mich
olson law were clearly demonstrated. The
arrests for the day were the fewest in the
history of the department, but three per-
sons being arrested. Two of them were
sent in from North Indianapolis and their
cases are said to be bottle drunks' and
not due to any violations of the law. The
other arrest was that OF Philip Zapf, Of
~ Virginia avenue, who courted arrest by
opening his saloon for restaurant purposes
in the morning. Zapf has a number Of
regular boarders. whom he feeds in the
rear Of the saloon. He contends that he
has a right to maintain a restaurant if he
does not violate the liquor law and he
proposes to contest that question in the
courts. superintendent Powell was highly
delighted last evening with the result of the
first holiday under the new law. He says
the saloon men gave him no concern dur
ing the day and as a class they obeyed
the law. He says it was demonstrated that
all the talk about the saloon men intend
ing to place themselves in open defiance of
the law is a mistake. The drug stores gave
more concern yesterday than did the
saloons. A number Of places had to be
watched. Mr.. Powell says that he will
insist that the drug stores obey the law,
especially as the saloon men have to. He
is going to search a number of stores where
he thinks liquor is kept for retail pur-
poses, as the law gives him the right to
inspect all places where he thinks there
are violations.
Captain Campbell received information
Yesterday that the law was being violated
at No. Is Shelby street, a saloon owned
by William Mohs. He went down cellar
without knocking, walked in. unlocking the
door by a key which CHANGED to INT. A
keg of beer was found on tap and there
were evidences of fresh sales Mohs fed
and later appeared at headquarters with
the story that he had been robbed. When
faced by Captain Campbell he asked to be
arrested. but he was laughed at and told
that Mayor Denny would attend 10 his case.
The evidence was that Mons was violating
the law and Mr.. Denny will be asked to
revoke his license. Hereafter in all cases
where there are indications Of violations
the Mayor will be asked to investigate
them. ~ ,
viewed Yesterday, for there were no screens
nor anyone in them. 1t was a marked
change over former holidays. The hotels
did not serve liquors with meals and the
to1n was dry. The bottle habit, that is
tba habit OF carrying liquor around in
hotties. is expected to increase now, but
wJth the enforcement OF the new law the
police anticipate a decrease in drunkenness
and fights.

Several hundred people witnessed the
game of baseball yesterday morning at SKis-

between the Outing and Wayerley teams.
The game was a part of the bicyclists' cele-
bration, and many OF the wheelmen who
participated in the parade were in attend

league, and as each represents local bicy-
Gle manufacturers. there is much rivalry
between them. Each club had won one
game from the other. and both stand near
the top in the city league race The game
was called about 10 o'clock, and early in it
the Outings began to play to win. The
score at one time stood Y to 0 in favor OF
the Outings, but the Waverleys took a bat

rally of the Waverlys it was nobody's game

Mayor Denny writes from New York that
the American Reduction Company will not
sign the contract for collecting the city gar

by some of the city officials that legal action
should be taken and the company forced to

may be able TO make some kind of a con-

gun on the long-talked-of Indianapolis,
Rockport & Chattanooga road, in which, at
one time. a number OF citizens OF Indian
apolis were interested, but became dis
couraged after putting up the money to
make the survey and dropped out. Mention
was made a few days ago that the men
who had been doing the grading where
the work was begun had become uneasy
and were alarmed about their pay. The re-
