CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.
Shocking Accident in IL North Indian
apOlis Home.

Effie May De Hart the six-year-old
daughter of Sylvanus De Hart, living at
the corner of Clifton and Shoemaker streets
in North Indianapolis, was burned to death
at o'clock yesterday evening by the ex-
plosion of a can of coal oil. 1t is supposed
the mother left the can sitting on the stove
hearth while she was out of the house.
Mrs. De Hart kindled a fire TO prepare sup
per by pouring the oil on some corn cobs.
She then went across the street to fetch a
pail of water, and when she returned her
child was on fire and there was some fire in
the room which threatened the destruction
of tho house She extinguished the flames
which enveloped the child, and her screams
brought the neighbors. who prevented q
spread of the fire in the house.
1t was found that every portion of the
childs body was burned. The skin was
parched to a black crisp. All the clothing
was burned from the body. DIR. Cox was
summoned, but he could do nothing and the
little one died in great agony after lingering
nearly two hours The supposition as 10
the cause of the accident is that the mother
left tho oil can on the hearth and when the
fire burned up brightly ii caused the can to
explode. Another theory IS that the fire
did not burn quickly and the little girl
thought TO hurry 1t by pouring on more oil.

ASK FOR CHEAP RATES.
Business Men of the city Address n
Letter to the Railroads.

Copies Of the following petitions to the
railroads for cheap rates for the state
fair are being circulated and universally
signed among the business men of the city:
THE undersigned merchants, manufac-
turers and shippers of the city of Indianap-
oils do most respectfully say to the pas
senger representatives of the railway lines
running into the city of Indianapolis that
we regard as reasonable the request of the
Indiana State Board of Agriculture and
the chairman of the cooperating commit
tees of the Board of Trade and the Com
mercial Club for either special state-fair
excursion trains or rate of l cent per
mile on all lines from all points beyond a
distance of thirty miles from the city on
Wednesday and Thursday of the state fair.
We do therefore most earnestly urge that
the Indianapolis lines will take action with
out delay and grant the rate asked. We
do this because we recognize in the state
fair a fixed annual event of vast impor-
lance to the city's general interests and of
special value to the business men of the
city. We believe, therefore, that if all in
terests are consulted the request will re-
ceive your communication"

THE MONUMENT FOUNTAINS.
Board of Regents Grant the COntrac-
tors an Extension OF Time.

The monument regents have granted to
the contractors at work putting in the new
fountains an extension of time until Sept

the work by Aug. l, with heavy daily
penalty for the time beyond that date, but
the contractors have met with twenty three
days OF bad weather when no work could be
done and the regents did not feel justified
in exacting the penalty.
The work the west fountain has pro-
gressed to such an extent that the public
is able to see what the fountains viii look

comments on all sides. At each corner OF

906 Broadway. Sept. 8.
After long and successful life Solomon
M. Babbitt, capitalist, politician and
pioneer, injured himself with suicidal in
tent last night and died at noon to-day.
S. M. Babbltt was over 73 years of age
and for the past three years he had been in
failing health. During this period he had
been very respondent and had frequently
expressed desire to die. He was
closely watched by an attendant, but last
evening he eluded his keeper and went to
an attic-room. After placing a line that
was attached to beam around his neck
he plunged carving-knife into his abdo-
men and drew it upward toward the
breastbone. The wound was necessarily
fatal and after languishing eighteen hours
he dieu.
Mr.. Babbitt resided with his family in
handsome home on Webster street. Since
his attacks of melancholia commenced he
las never been left alone, but yesterday,
with all the cunning of lunatic, he Sc
creted knife about his person and waited
for change to go upstairs. He was
found by his attendant few minutes
after being missed, but he had laid his
plans for suicide with great care. and
when discovered was gasplng for breath.
Three physicians were summoned, and
they at once pronounced the wound fatal.
Even had Mr.. Babbitt been young man
he could not possibly have rallied, as the
sharp point OF the knife had penetrated
several organs. The rope around his neck
did not help to produce death, as it was
too slack. 1t merely prevented the suicide
from dropping to the floor after cutting
himself
Babbitt was a man who was very fond
of his home was we'll fixed financially,
and had no reason for ending his life.
S. M. Babbitt was one of California's
early pioneers. He was born in Austin
burg, Ohio, in August, 1924. He went
to Illinois in 1887, and few years later,
on the death of his mother, he came to
this State. He crossed the plains in
prairie schooners. and the first town at
which he located was Hangtown, where
he engaged in mining for a while.
Some time later, having been lucky, be
returned to Illinois and invested in farm
ing property.
During the rebellion he was United
States Marshal at Algonquin. Iu 1869 he
returned to California with his family.
He located in Oakland and established
him self as wholesale comm ission mer-
chant. He was in partnership Tor some
years with H. T. Gilpln, now City Treas
urer, and ex-Councilman Walter G. Man
uel. When this firm was dissolved Mr..
Babbitt went into business with Anson
Baratone.
When the California Bank was organ
lied few years ago Mr.. Babbitt was one
of the large stockholders and was after
ward director and vice president. He
served term in the City Council about
ten wears ago and was one of the best
cIassed commercial men in this city.

MORE DELAY FOR LAWRENCE.
The Accused in the Examiner Crimina al
Libel Case Still Absent.

The Accused in the Examiner Grimm al
Libel Case Still Absent.
Judge Wallace, to whom was assigned
the duty of hearing lawyers on the motion
to dism iss the writ OF prohibition which
Judge Seawell issued to arrest the trial of
A. Nj. Lawrence in Judge Campbell's Police
Court, will hear final argument and de-
eide the question next Friday.
The lawyers of the Examiner have been
constantly pleading for delay and asking
for postponement On one pretext or an
other. The point at issue is whether
Lawrence, who was arrested for criminal
ibel on complaint sworn TO by Claus
Spreckels. shall be present in court DUR
ing his examination. The Examiner law
yers contend that renresentatIon of ac-
cused by counsel is sufficient, but the law
says that the witnesses must be examined
in the presence OF defendant.
The question was to have been settled in
Judge Wallace's court yesterday, but
more delay was granted on the ground
that Lawrence, who was reported 10 be
hurt by falling from a bicycle, couli not
be present in the police court if Judge
Campbell should be free to proceed with
the examination. The criminal proceed
ings against Lawrence were instituted be-
Cause the Examiner lawyers refused 10 ac-
cept service on Hearst, who was supposed
TO be the responsible man of the Exam

The New Show Windows of

A Costly Addition to Kearny Street
Attractions.

The truly ideal clothing house Is not
alone an establishment where hlgh-grad
clothing can be boug at at reasonable fig
ure, but where gentlemen accustomed to
finely tailored garments made to order
can get perfect satisfaction in fit, style
and quality, besides being completely
QUILTED in :he latest hats and habsr-
dashery.
OF large and elaborate establishments
San Francisco probably has more than
any city of its size in the Union. wing
with one another IN the magnificent dis
play OF their goods, and in the original
manner of attracting public notice.
While the press must always be the
mainstay of any business depending upon
the general public for its revenue, the
show window is valuatle and almost
necessary advertising al junct.
The quarters occupied by Roos Bros. at
the corner of Kearny and Post streets
have been undergoing complete exterior
alterations, and now present one OF the
finest exhibition fronts on the coast. This
foremost house in it's special line need
have no fear OF successful competition in
the way of window displays. The re-
modelling has been confined not alone to
that part Immediately noticeable to the
public, but throughout the establishment
changes have been made for the accommo-
dation OF the rapidly increasing business.
The result shows that expense has been a
secondary consideration. The credit Tor
this ella borate and costly improvement OF
the big establishment rests almost en-
tlrely with the junior me m Der OF the firm,
who has recently returned from New ork.
