RICHMOND, Ind, Jan. 5-The Morrison
will case was adjourned to-day, until Tues
day next, allowing Monday for consultation
of the attorneys over number of deposit
lions. The case has now been in progress
three days and half and in that time the
trial has hardly got started. Very little
evidence has been introduced, only eight or
nine witnesses out of a possible $50 having
been examined. A portion of the time con-
sumed has been taken up in the arguments
of attorneys on technical points of law
that have arisen from various causes. The
attorneys have not allowed a single point.
to pass without hard fight, and Judge
Black has found his position not enviable.
Considering the Importance of the case at
issue, however, the trial has thus far pro-

Crowds of people are daily in attendance.
From present indications and from hints
thrown out by various attorneys the

will last for three more weeks. The testi-

the point of James L. Morrison's sanity.
One witness testified that he was absent

Will Reach indianapolis To-Day.

Inc several interesting members OF Ha-
genbeck's remarkable animal family will
arrive in this city by their special train
of twelve cars. over the Big Four road to-
day noon, and in the afternoon the work
of transferring to Engishs Opera House
will be commenced There they will live
all the week. Each has his or her own
apartment, and is compelled by the very
strict management to keep in it when not
rehearsing performing. Some OF these
apartments are on the stage; some are un-
der the stage and others are across the
street in convenient livery stable. 1t is
a very large company and, as the members
are even more disposed to quarrel with one
another than those of the average theatre
cal organization, it is necessary to be very
careful in assigning quarters to them. The
regard for public safety also has some
thing to do with the care that issexercised
in looking after the members of the COM
pany. If one of the leading females were
to get loose she would do more damage in
a minute than the most reckless star act
ress could get through with in year,
while any one of the leading males would
create a greater sensation on the street
than the most dazzling leading man. 1t is
a celebrated troupe that will be here and
the scores of trained animals that com
prise 1t make about the most interesting
aggregation that ever appeared in Indian
apolis.
While the cages of the animals are being
wheeled to the places that they will oc-
cupy during the week the gang of workmen
will be employed in putting together the
great iron cage, Weighing ten tons, in which
the trained brutes perform. This huge cage,
which was used at the worlds fair, will &C.
cupy the entire width of the large stage
at English's and will extend out over the
orchestra pit The stage has been extended
to the first rows of chairs in the auditorium
in order to accommodate ii. This huge
cage is carried in sections, and each time
it is put together the workmen as care
full as they would be in erecting a perma-
nent structure. Il is fifty feet in diameter,
and the highest point of the top of it is
forty feet from the floor of the stage. The
top as we'll the sides Is inclosed. The
tigers lions and leopards enter this big per-
Torrance cage through passageways thar
connect with their private apartments.
These private apartments are the big car
like cages in which they travel from place
to place They drawn fiat cars when
the company moves from one city to an
other and are placed at the most convenient
point in the theater, where the performances
are given. and inc.osed passages connect
them with the big fifty-foot cage. BY this
arrangement all danger to spectators is
avoided. There is no chance for the beasts
to get loose. There never has been spec
tator injured at any performance in this
