West Indianapolis. by Wood Manson. an
other colored man, was removed to the
City Hospital about o'clock Sunday morn
ing, where he died at 1915 noon yesterday
Wood Manson boarded a street car imme-
diate,y after the shooting and came to
this city. The police were notified of the
ARRAY and spent the night looking for the
fugitive. He is believed to have left town,
and descriptions of the man will be sent
all over the STATE to-day, in the hopes of
having him located in some other place.
English was questioned by the hospital
physicians, but said he did not know who
shot him. He also feigned ignorance of
the causes that led to the shooting.
He was conscious up to the time Of his
death. but made no statements that throw
any light on the affair. His wife did not
arrive at the City Hospital until few
minutes after her husband died. The
couple kept house at 191 Spann avenue. this
city. English's fatal wound was in the
back, the bullet entering three or four
inches from the spine. in the region Of the
eleventh rib.
Patrolman Stoddard, of the West Indian
apolis police force, conferred with Superin-
tendent Colbert yesterday. The superin-
tendent promised all the assistance. possible
for Manson's apprehension. Patrolmen Wis
tied all of the mans haunts, but were UNI
able to discover any trace of him. "a good
description has been obtained, and thu Off
GERS hope to be able to capture HIM. when
he will be held on the charge of murder.
The body was removed to Whitsetts
morgue at Coroner Casters direction. The
coroner will hold an inquest to-day.
Patrolman Stoddard told Superintendent
Colbert that the shooting was the result of
a quarrel between Englishs wife and an
other colored woman Mrs. English want
ed to fight, but her husband interfered and
asked the other woman to leave. She re-
fused to do so, and he slapped her in the
face Manson witnessed the blow, and,
drawing his revolver, shot English in the
back
young colored woman employed in the
home of one of the prominent business
men of West Indianapolis, says that she
attended the ball early in the evening, but
left before the trouble began. She says
that this is the first instance in which
there has been any trouble at the weekly
balls given in the haH ON Williams street
The hall is rented by respectable colored
woman, who furnishes lunch to the couples
taking part in the dance, charging % cents
a couple for the floor. So far as can be
learned, no drinks were sold in the hall.

SHE DIED IN A SHACK
A Scene of SqualOr I'm n River Bottom
Howell.

1t was reported to Superintendent Colbert
yesterday afternoon that a colored woman
died suddenly under suspicious circum-
stances in a howell in the river bottoms,
near the vandalia bridge. Patrolman Man.
ming was sent to investigate the case. He
found the dead woman, America Morton.
aged forty, lying on a miserable excuse for
a bed in a desolate shack" or dug-out
built under the banks. No one was with
the woman, except her husband, Joe Nor
ton. He said his wife had been Ill for six
or eight weeks, and that she had received
no medical attendance. Last week she was
some better, and was able to be about.
Yesterday morning she grew worse again.
and he started for physician. He left
her alone. and when he returned she was
dead Patrolman Manning notified the
coroner who took charge of the body and
had it removed to Whitsett's morgue. The
coroner says the woman seems to have
died from natural causes = probably con-
sumption, with which she is said to have
been afflicted. There were some indications
of drOpsy.
Patrolman Manning says that he has
never observed a scene of more misery and
man. The rude structure in which the
dead woman lay was built of old boards
and tar paper. A broken monkey stove"
In one corner of the room had no fire in it.
A small pane of glass was set in one end
of the little four-by-eight room. The glass
was dirty and admitted no light. When
the door was closed no light or air could
enter the place, which was ill-smelling and
foul in every respect.
The negro Morton said he did not want
his wife buried at Mount Jackson. and that
he preferred that her funeral should take
place at Crown Hill. He said he had no
money to pay the funeral expenses. but
thought he could raise the money by taking
up collection" He made no excuses for
negiecting his wife during life, but seemed
to have q horror of allowing the body to
go to q medical college.

REV. MIR. BRADsHAw's SERMON.
An Inaianapolitan Now Engaged I'm
New York Church Work.

Rev. Archibald Bradshaw preached at
the Second Presbyterian Church last even
ing on the subject 1.-THE Kingdom of God"
Mr.. Bradshaw is an Indianapolitan who
graduated at Princeton and VINO is now
engaged in pastoral work in New York
city. He is connected with the Collegiate
Reformed Church of that city. having
charge of the vermilye Chapel, an institu-
ton sustained by the Collegiate Church.
The latter is one of the richest churches
of New York and extensive steps have
been taken to reach the people of the ,ene-
ment house district by means of the Yer
milye Chapel. The latter is located near
one of the worst corners of the city and
Mr.. Bradshaw and colaborers live with
the people they hope to benefit. The chapel
has gymnasiums, reading rooms, game
rooms and other attractions which interest
the people.
Since Mr. Bradshaw's assuming manage
ment Of the chapel but short time ago.
he has had the satisfaction of observing
a growth in the membership and interest.
The Sunday school and Christian organiza-
tions have increased wonderfully. while a
great deal of interest is shown by the
younger people in the clubs. Connected

lighted, commodious and provided with
bathing facilities. Many of the occupants
of the tenement members of the chapel.
Mr.. Bradshaw has become deeply interested
and he says the chapel offers a way of
reaching them which could not be obtained
in any other manner.
1t was upon the invitation of Rev. Mr..
Milburn that Mr. Bradshaw occupied the
pulpit or tile Second Church last evening.
His text was taken from the thirty-third
verse of the sixth chapter OF Matthew:
But seek we first the kingdom of Cod
These words were declared to be one of
Christ's prominent charges. In these few
words 1t stated the goal of human life.
II is the wish OF God that other pursuits,
such as satisfying the necessities of life,
the accumulation of wealth, the develop
ment of knowledge, be secondary, while the
seeking of His divine realm be first.
Mr.. Bradshaw then proceeded to show
what is the kindom of God, which was
defined as a portion of humanity in which
the spirit of Chr' t reigns. The Scriptures
speak of ii as "a kingdom of peace, joy
and righteousness. Mr.. Bradshaw urged
that the kingdom be first sought for in so
doing man realizes his end in life as an
individual in society which fnanifests the
glory of God The way to the kingdom Is
through Jesus Christ by a repentance OF
sins and a new birth. BY this means IL Is
possible to cross the threshold of the king
dom where all become divine citizens with
the Sermon on the Mount as law-as the
constitution.

A LOWELL MEETING.


The fourth open meeting Of the Plymouth
Church. These meetings occasionally take
the place of the regular Sunday evening
service, and are designed to review the
lives of Americans eminent in literature
and art. James Russell Lowell was the
subject last night. Saturday was the sew
enty-seventh anniversary of his birth. The
talk by Miss Charity Dye was well Illus
trated with steropticon views, showing first
a picture of the subject of the sketch and
then many scenes from his life. The
church was well filled to hear Miss Dye
tell of the life of this man, SO popular as
a poet and essayist. ''Elmwood," a home
of the early colonial style, was his birth
place and was shown in a good picture last
night. Besides this there were many other
scenes showing places and things that
were of Importance IN his life.
One of the most famous works of Mr..
Lowell is the Biglow Papers. These were
first published in the Boston Courier from
June, 1876 to 1S4S. In this series OF papers,
or rather poems, the poet attacked every
thing that deserved criticism in that day.
He turned his powerful pen TO the side
of abolition and from the time these papers
appeared IL was no longer unpopular TO be
on the side of the colored man. The papers
were oStensibly written by Hosea BigloW
and edited by Homer Wilson, A. NJ, pastor
of the first church in Jaalam and prospec-
tive member of many literary, learned and
scientific societies" These papers were
written In the Yankee dialect and were
accompanied by notices of an independent
press" They soon gained a reputation far
and wide and have been quoted extensively
ever since on both sides OF the Atlantic.
Their humor and satire made It a serious
matter for anyone to espouse a cause that
people In the main they were directed at
the Mexican war and slavery. In purely
literary work 1.-The Vision of Sir Launfaa."
a story based on the legend of the Holy
Grail. is probably his best production. His
other works are numerous. A complete
list of his works shows about twenty-five
volumes, although some OF the later ones
contain much OF the matter of some Of
his earlier publications.

Prof. Edison. Insanity.

Indianapolis relatives and friends of Prof.
Hanford w. Edison do not share the belief
of the Eastern doctors that his insanity Is
likely to be permanent. Professor Edison Is
young, and is possessed of more than aver
age strength. both physically and mentally
but in his zeal he has overtaxed both, and
the result is dementia, which those who
know him best believe will be but tempo
rary. His friends think that his complete
restoration will be quickly brought about by
careful treatment and cessation from ex-
hausting mental labor.

The tower Waterman saw smoke rising
from the rear Of the buildings at the north

ten streets about a quarter of o'clock yes
terday morning and turned in an alarm from
Box 4 1t was found that the fire was located
In the basement of Born & Co.'S furniture
store. No. 81 East Washington street. Fire
men forced an entrance from both Court
and Washington streets, but were unable
10 get at the fire for some time owing TO
tho dense smoke with which the building
was filed. They finally got a stream d.
rected on the blaze. which was eating its
way upwards through the floor, and IL was
extinguishei after a loss amounting TO about
aloo. according 10 estimates made by the
fire department IT Is probable the loss on
the stock viii amount to much more than
that. as considerable damage was done by
the smoke. But little water was used on
the first door and the loss from that source
will be small. The stock was but slightly
damaged by the flames. as the blaze was
kept confined TO the basement.
