/. CHARLES FELTON'S SUICIDE.
The BODY of nm Old Man Found on the
Canal Bank.

An old man, thought to be Charles Felton,
shot and killed himself yesterday morning
at 4 O'Clock back Of an icehouse on the
bank of the canal. Mrs. Mary Richmond
employed at the Marion Park Hotel, passed
the icehouse while she was going to work,
about o'clock. She discovered the body of
the man, lying face downward. Going near
er, Mrs. Richmond saw that his face was
smeared with blood and straw. She ran to
j. b. Allfree's mill, near by, and gave the
alarm The police and coroner were noti-
fed. Captain Dawson was among the first
to arrive. Lying close to the dead ma is left
hand was new thirty-two caliber revolver,
and this circumstance, considered with the
fact that his death was caused from a bullet
sent crashing into his left temple, leads
handed. On the flap of his shirt the name
FELTON, was printed in indelible ink. Re-
ceipts and papers found on his body bore
the name Charles FELTON,. In his pocketbook
there was found an order for clothes for
Charles FELTON,, from the captain of Com
Peny 1s Dayton Soldiers Home Dayton, Q;
FELTON, was veteran soldier. He appears to
be about fifty years OF age. although his
mustache and hair were dark. FELTON, was
dressed in dark clothes, in fairly good con-
dition, and wore a soft black hat. which
was found in the icehouse. where 1t is pre-
to l. H. Wells, of $50 West Shoemaker
street, in North Indianapolis, for his sup
per Sunday night. To Mr.. Wells the old
man stated that he had no money The
only thing of value found upon his person
was gold watch with blue enamel dial
and with gold hands.
The old man evidently of proud ma
ture and tidy habits. Several soiled handker-
chiefs were found in his pockets. The only
clean handkerchief he had was tucked about
the neck of his shirt and was drawn down
smoothly over the soiied shirt bosom. No
collar was found. but a new necktie had
been removed and placed in his pocket.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Minnie Taylor,
who lives at Thirteenth street and the Big
Four railroad, little west of the icehouse,
arose at 3:45 o'clock to prepare breakfast
for her husband. A few moments later she
heard single shot fired and called her
husbands attention to il. Thomas Iangs-
dale who also lives in that neighborhood,
heard one shot at about the same hour. One
shot had been fired from the revolver lying
at Felton's side, the other four chambers OF
the revolver being still loaded.
Coroner Castor decided that FELTON, had
| committed suicide and at his direction the
body was removed to Whitsett's morgue,
and a telegram was sent to the Soldiers
| Home at Dayton, asking If anything was
known OF the suicide. No reply had been re-
ceived at midnight

Ministers VIII Now Attempt to Cause
Another Reform.

AT the regular meeting Of the ministers
of the city, yesterday. the subject of Sun
day baseball was discussed only sufficiently
to thank the committee which had the mat
ter in charge during the time of the agita-
ton of the question. The ministers ex-
pressed themselves as satisfied with the re-
suit thus far. 1t was stated that Mayor
Taggart had sent word to the meeting that,
inasmuch as Sheriff Womack had done all
that was necessary, he did not think anoth-
er letter from the executive was called for
at the present time.
After the committee on Sunday baseball
had been discharged Rev. II. Roberts, of
Fletcher-place Church, suggested that some
steps be taken to secure n half holiday for
the working people Of the city. For this
purpose a committee was appointed, con-
sisting of Messrs. Lucas, Dodds, Wilson.
Macintosh, Ashcraft and Christensen. This
committee will confer with the Woman's s
Council and will see The leading merchants
and manufacturers. 1t was suggested that
it would be impossible for the retail stores
to give employees a hail holiday on Satur-
day. but that that would be the most ac-
ceptable day for the Wholesale men and
manufacturers. it was decided to ask the
retail men to give half OF some other day
for the purpose.
