Indianapolis. A town marshal was elected
and he claims to possess the power to en-
force all laws. The Council has appointed
a police board and there is a police force
which is inclined to ignore the marshal.
The latter has the keys to the Jail, how
ever, which he refuses TO give to the police.
The Council last night made arrangements
for a turnkey at the Jail, and it awaits to
be seen if the marshal will give him the

Governors Criticisms of the Legisla-

SMALL RIOTS IN BROOKLYN.
The City May be Sued for the Death of
Henry Aims,


BROOKLYN, Feb. s.-Lawyer Maribeau L.
Towns was yesterday engaged in lengthy
consultation with tho relatives of young
Henry Aims, Of New York, who was shot
and killed by. members Of the Seventh
regiment during the riotous disturbances
at Halsey street and Broadway, with a
view to bringing an action to recover
damages for the loss of the young mans
life, making Mayor Sohieren and the city
OF Brooklyn defendants in the case.
Counsellor Towns believes that the law
which makes the city responsible for dam
ages to properly can be made to apply in
the case Of loss of life rs well.
Late yesterday afternoon deputy sheriff
who tried to prevent tho cutting Of the
wires at Maspeth was pinloncd against a
trolley pole while the work was being
done. A crowd of a hundred men gath
cred and threatened violence. The section
box was also smashed The crowd was
becoming very unruly when Sheriff Dobt
and Captain Metphin, with a force of
deputies, charged the mob. The mob
scattered and again formed about the truck
house, which Is used as headquarters.
When the wires had been repaired the
crowd once more became threatening, but
was driven to the truck house. Two ar
rests were made. Justice Schumacher
discharged the two strikers, but held the
deputy.
During the evening the deputies cleared
the avenue several times, and once were
obliged to fire some shots before the
strikers would yield. None of the shots
were fired at the crowd. Stones were FRI
qucntly placed on the tracks, and some
were thrown at the cars.

A CLEVELAND HEROINE.
The Nurse Who Met Death Rather
Than Desert Her Patient.
FOUR DEAD IN A HOSPITAL FIRE.

Miss Baume., the Heroic Nurse, VI light Easily
Have Saved Her Own Life, bnt the Noble
Woman. Though Urged by Eirenen, Re-
fused to Make the Effort.
CLEVELAND, Feb. IA frail wooden
dwelling house, occupied as o hospital
caught fire yesterday, and almost before
the terrible situation could be realized four
lives wcrc destroyed by the flames. Twas
tho Deaconess hospital, branch of the
Christian Institute, Of Chicago, estab-
lished last October In q two and half
story house on Jennings avenue In it
were twelve patients, four nurses and four
laundry girls
The fire started in the basement, pre-
sumably from tho furnace, and before 1t
could be extinguished four Of the fifteen
patients in the house and hospital were
dead and the building almost entirely de.
stroyed. Brave work on the part OF tho
firemcn and police alone prevented fur
Their loss.
BY desperate efforts the patients on the
first and second floors were saved, though
some of them may die of the exposure, but
every person in the low garnet, reached
only by steep, narrow stairway, met u
horrible death.
Before the fire department had arrived,
and before the flames had reached the out
side of the building, Nurse Minnie Bau
mer appeared at the up stairs window and
implorcd those below to assist her in get
ting out her patient, who was Samuel
Almyor. All saw that it would be folly
to attempt to enter the building, which
was now burning flcrccly.
Jump to the porch and save yourself"
cried tho flremen to her, as she was but
fifteen or sixteen feet above the broad
veranda roof
Il can't leave my patient" was the re-
ply OF the brave woman Ms she turned to
look back into the room, evidently to quiet
the fears of Almycr, who thought she
was going to leave him.
For "a moment the brave woman stood
looking down into the crowd below her,
md then duty triumphed over her desire
to be saved, The smoke was pouring from
the windows about her and her white,
startled face appeared as a picture i'll Il
frame of darkest ebony. Then she turned
into the room, and she was seen no more
until her blackened form was carried ten
DERBY from the building shortly after
wards.
Four men We're taken from the burning
building. One was caught in blanket
ana the Tour cufpscs taken from the build
ing before they had been consumed by the
fire.
Jacob Krause was found at the foot of
the stairs leading to the third floor. He
had been suffering from fractured skull
and was suffocated. William Almyer was
suffering from broken hip, and was also
suffocated. Minnie Banner, the nurse who
had remained to guard him, was found
terribly burned at the foot of the bed. In
an adjoining room was found the body of
young child, months old. 1t had been
suffocatcd.
The dead are: Jacob Krause, carpenter,
GO years old; samuel Almyer, widower,
% years old; Walter CLARK, u founding, s
months old; Minnie Banner, nurse, 90
years old.

eral staff of the army, became suddenly
insane yesterday, The major was in the
war office attending to duties connected
with his position when he suddenly cried

the sentinels without difficulty and pro-
ceeded to the apartment of the palace,
where King Humbert was receiving the
provincial projects. AS he opened the
door and entered the room Major Oddi
cried thieves" '1nurdercrs." The king
started with surprise us he heard tho cry

SYRACUSE, N. y, Feb, 2.-There was q
step taken yesterday in the matter Of the
estate of d. Edgar Grouse, the millionaire
of this city, who died Nov. 81, 1892, which,
1t is believed, is initial to a speedy settle
ment between the heirs and claimants, 1t
was the trial OF the suit brought by IA cou-
rim of the deceased, Seward Grouse, to set
aside the will on account of alleged undue
influence. The attorney for the plaintiff
conccding the competency of the tcstator
the jury gave verdict validating the will.
This does away with the only obstruction
toward a compromise between the Grouse
heirs and the infant claimant, Dorothca
Edgerita Grouse Kosterlitz, of New York.
