A TRAINED ANT-EATER.
One of the Novelties at the Monkey
Theater.

The monkey theater at Tomlinson Hall
had another good audience last night, and
the unique exhibition of the animals was
generally appreciated. In this troupe of
performers are twenty-eight monkeys,
twenty-nine dogs. sixteen cockatoos one
trained badger and one ant-eater. The
ant-eater is the only one ever known to
appear as a public entertainer, according
to the best information TO be obtained by.
the managers. He walks the rope, rolls
a ball and plays with "a dog. Stress is laid
on the novelty of this latter feat, for it
is said the ant-eater is the deadly enemy
to all of the dog kind. The bauger has
a turn or two with the dogs. Among the
other attractions are "Bobo, taking
monkey. who utterS sounds not unli &c those
of human being, and Patsy, Z laugh
ing monkey whose risibilities are readily
excited at the slightest command of his
trainer. Two Italians train the monkeys.
Great care has To be taken with them, as
a monkey catches cold at the least provo
cation and easily forgetS the tricks taught
him. The show will continue during this
week and next, with matinee and evening
performances. Cinematographe Views are
also shown, making an entertainment OF
two hours and half each performances.

fore April.

Yesterday petition signed by 567 resi-
dents of West Indianapolis was presented
to Mayor Taggart, asking that the SUBJ
urb be annexed to this city The petition
Includes the names of almost ali the manu-
facturers and about one-third of the
voters. At the last election there were

for which the borrowed money was spent
There is also a public library of 1000 vol
umes. Thirteen. miles of cement walks,
water mains, improved streets and other
things were also enumerated
Yesterday Mayor Taggart denied that he
had changed his mind in regard to the an
nexation of the suburbs on account of COM
plications that might arise with the street.
car company. He says all the complica-
tons that are possible have already come
up, and he does not fear any that might
arise from annexation. He says that If
the suburbs want to become a part of
greater indianapolis he will approve an or
dinance for that purpose.
Controller Johnson is anxious that the
proceedings for annexation be completed
before April i, so the annexed property can
be placed on the city tax duplicate. Other
wise the assessment will be at the rates
charged by the suburban corporation at
the present time.
There is another West Indianapolis petit
tion in the hands of the suburban mayor
which has about six hundred names on it,
West INDIANAPOLIS people say the charge
that the street-car company Is opposing
annexation is groundless that the company
has taken no part in the matter

cial meeting of the Council to have an or
that the people of the suburbs really de-
sire annexation.

POGUES RUN BED.
Question as to the Necessity of Con.
denining 1t.

The Board of Works yesterday asked City
Attorney Curtis If Ii would be necessary
for the board to condemn the bed of Pogues
run for the purpose OF constructing sewer
within it. When reclaimed this property
will revert to the use of the persons who
own the property adjoining. The existence
of the creek is not considered i'm the boun-
daries of lots, and it is all plated and
owned by lot owners, subject to The ease
ment of the public in its right to maintain
the creek. When the sewer is covered the
public will have no easement on the sur
face. thereby the property owners will be
greatly benefited.
The board also asked If Mr.. Curtis con-
ours in the opinion rendered in 1895 by the
then City Attorney Scott. that the board
could not assess property outside of the city
for the building of this sewer. 1t will prob
ably be held that they cannot be made to
pay for any improvements made necessary
by local conditions in the city. 1t is diff
ferent with sewers built to drain districts
where there is not adequate natural drain
age. The board then has the right to assess
outside property ii ii is benefited.

BIG NATURAL GAS LEAK.
Residents in NeighbOrhOOd of Yeiser-
street Sewer Afraid of One.

The explosion in the Yeiser-street sewer
Tuesday has done no great damage 10 the
sewer as far as ascertained. The peculiar
ity of the explosion has suggested that
the same causes of this explosion brought
about the demolition of the Kenchler house
in the same neighborhood two years ago,
when a child was killed and several peo-
pie injured. In that case the explosion was
supposed TO have been caused by natural
gas gathering in the cellar of the house.
1T was not known that gas pipes were
leaking at that time. Residents in the
neighborhood of the sewer are afraid there
is a big natural gas leak under the ground
somewhere in that part of the city.

THE CARS ALL STOPPED.
II Was Not Due to Passage Of n Three
Cent Fare Bill.

For about fifteen minutes yesterday aft
ernoon street railroad traffic was almost
at a standstill There seemed TO be plenty
of power at times and at places, but not
enough to propel the cars. On the main
lines down town there was power enough,
but the cars died as soon as they got on
the branch lines. Nearly every line in the
city was affected. noticeably North Illinois.
North Pennsylvania, College avenue and
North Alabama street. The trouble was
at the West Washington street power
house. One OF the boilers was disabled
and il was necessary To make change,
bringing a part of the power into the serv-
ice lines from the Louistara-street house.
Some of the suburbanites thought the
stoppage was an announcement of the pas
sage of the three-cent car fare bill.
