MRS. VANDERBILT's BALL.-One of
the grandest, if not the most elegant
and sumptuous events of the season
was the ball given at her superb marble
mansion by Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt at
Newport Tuesday night. The ball was
given in honor of the young debutante
daughter of the household, Miss Con-
suelo Vanderbilt, and was in every de-
tail on an elaborate scale Of elegance
and expense. The young Duke of
Marlborough was the especial house
guest of honor, and next to the fair
young girl "was the observed of all OBJ
servers Every room in the immense
mansion was thrown open and the sur
rounding grounds were beautifully il
Illuminated. The air was filled with the
perfume of the rarest flowers, many OF
which were used as favors in the dance.
The supper was on an elaborate scale
seldom equaled even at extravagant
Newport.
The cotillion was led by Mr.. R. T.
Wilson, jr., dancing with Miss Wander
bilt. More than 800 guests were pres
ent, including all the social leaders of
various cities.
The Duke of Marlborough has ex
perienced not little fatigue in trying
to keep UP to the Newport gait. In
fact, he was so overcome from the
continuous going for few days only
that he was obliged to plead weariness,
and consequently, to the extreme dis.
appointment of many, was not present
to witness the tennis tournament Tues
day. The bellies of Newport, who
sleep only from a. m., to 9 a. NJ,
think it singular that all the beaux are
not able to keep the same pace.

NUMEROUS SMALL FIRES.
Department Was Required to Make
Many Runs Yesterday.

The fire department was kept busy an
swering the calls to numerous small fires
yesterday. The first was at 1852 a. m, when
an overheated stove caused a S. blaze at
the house occupied by Gus Habich at 60
West Market street. At 2:15 yesterday
afternoon fire broke out in the two-story
brick at No $50 South Delaware street, oc-
cupied by the gas company, and caused a
loss of $50 before extinguished. About ff-
teen minutes later and before the depart
ment had returned from the gas company's
fire flames were discovered. in the frame
house at 219 West Ohio street, occupied
by David Hill, and before the department
could arrive the fire had gained enough
Roadway to cause a damage of $50. The
flre originated from a defective aue. -Four
minutes after the alarm for this fire
sounded, an alarm announced a fire at 176
had started a blaze in the house occupied
by John McCollum, and about $50 damage
was done. Again at 3:2S the gong sounded
and the department was called to 81 Camp
street, where the cottage of Emil Hin
gam was burning. The house was almost
completely destroyed, entailing a loss of
500. A defective fiue was also the cause
of that fire.
Shortly afterwards the double house at
Nos. 35 and 367 South East street was dis
covered to be on fire. The house is owned
by Mrs. Matthews and occupied by Fir.
Murtz and Mr.. WATSON. There was a loss
OF $500. AT $50 p. m. an alarm was sent
in from the corner of Meridian and Merrill
streets, where a slight fire occurred in the
room occupied by the Stuart Drug Com
pany, but the fire was extinguished with
out loss.

POOL ROOM SYSTEM
Ex-EMPLOYE EXPLAINS 1T TO A
CRIMINAL COURT JURY.
Application for Receiver for south
Bend & Mishawaka Railroad
Dog Tax Decision.

The jury in the Samuel Douglass pool
room case, which is being tried in the Grim
inal Court, was given blackboard lessons in
the mysteries of pool-selling yesterday.
Joseph Foppiano, formerly employed by
William Iron, was called by the State to
explain the inside workings of the local
branch Of the Mercantile Telegraph Conn
pany. For more than a year Foppiano was
engaged In marking Odds on the big
blackboard in the rear of Irons resort.
He was in front of the jury nearly all day
yesterday and spent most of the time il
Illustrating the odds system. The witness
testified that he saw money wagered on
foreign races. John Singleton, who told the
grand jury that he had staked s. on the
horse John Hickey" was put on the stand.
He admitted having bought pools on
Hickey" but understood the bets were
made at the track.
The defense called Mahlon d. Butler,
local manager of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. 1t was shown by the wit
ness that the Mercantile Telegraph Com
pany was a part of the Western Union sys-
tenn, and that the wires were leased by the
company for the purpose of conveying IN
relligence from one race track to another.
The defense will attempt to show that the
business of the Mercantile company is
legitimate and that it simply transmits the
business that is brought to it.

A MORTGAGE FOR $3.50, 900.
Receiver Asked for the South Bend
q M~ishawaka Railroad.

AZ MlSnatSaka TtdiAfOacs
The Central Trust Company of New York
has brought suit in the United States Court
to foreclose a $4,000 mortgage against the
South Bend & Mishawaka Railroad Com
pany. Application was also made for a re-
ceiver to take control of the concern, which
it is alleged is insolvent. In 1889 the South
Bend & Mishawaka railroad issued $40 first
mortgage bonds aggregatfng $2Jo,0Oe.
The trust company accepted the bonds as
trustee. The court is asked to issue an
order restraining the officers of the railway
company from Interfering with the mort
gage pending a hearing of the case. With
the complaint of the trust company, an
answer was filed by the defendant corpora
ton admitting all the facts alleged.
Isaac b. Newcomb, George Il. Clifford and
Josephine Lawrence, who are executors OF
the will of Omer H. Lawrence, late of
Boston, also filed a suit in the United
States Court against James Mem. Smith to
foreciose a chattel mortgage on the electric
plant of the South Bend & Mishawaka rail-
road. The plaintiffs ask Judgment for $685.
641. 80. They allege that James Mem. Smith,
being indebted to the Thompson-Houston
Electric Company, executed a mortgage in
favor of this corporation on the South
Bend plant. Afterward the Newcomb es-
tate came into possession of the notes exc
cuted by Smith to the Thompson-Houston
company, aggregating the amount of judg-
ment prayed for. in the complaint.
