A SCHOOL GIRL ELOPES
MISS LIZZIE HART AND NICHOLAS
GERBER ARE MARRIED.
Two Brothers of the Bride Now Look
ing for the GrOOm-MaternaI
Blessing Ready.

Lizzie Hart, the sixteen-year-old daughter
of Catherine Hart, No. 224 South Senate
avenue, started to school as usual yesterday
afternoon and when night came and she did
not return, her mother grew uneasy. Then
one of the neighbors appeared with a copy
of an evening paper containing the report Of
a marriage license which was issued to
Nicholas Gerber and Elizabeth Agnes Hart.
This explained the situation, but not entire
ly to the satisfaction of Mrs Hart and her
two sons, Edward and Thomas. The latter
swore vengeance and started out to find
Gerber. One of them went to the homes of
some friends of Gerber, thinking he might
find the couple there before they could set
married. The other went to the police sta
ton and reported the affair He said the
girl was but fourteen years old, and the
police became impressed with the idea that
the elopement was little more than an alb
duction. A patrolman reported that the
girl was seen shortly after noon getting into
a buggy with Gerber.
The marriage license was issued about
noon and the friends of the couple think
they were married soon afterward, and that
they have left the city for a short time.
Gerber is stepson of August Leuty and
lives with his stepfathers family on South
street, few doors from Senate avenue, and
near the home of Mrs. Hart. He has been
keeping grocery store on The corner of
Senate avenue and Henry street, just two
doors from Mrs Harris. He is about twen-
ty-eght years old.
Mrs. Hart was seen at her home last
night. She seemed considerably distressed
at first, but finally said:
well, am ready to give them my bless
ing if they come back. l do not know much
about Nick. understand he has been mar

squire. That is the worst feature of it. had
no idea they were thinking of marrying.
Lizzie will be sixteen years old the twen-
tieth day of next month She is as large as
l am"
The friends of Gerber looked everywhere
about the city last night, where they
thought he might have gone, but were UNI
able to locate him and his new wife. The
brothers of the bride also said they would
look for him, but not with any intention of
congratulating him. Their language was
pretty harsh. A neighbor said one of them
armed himself with a revolver and said he
would shoot Gerber on sight.

FIFTEEN NEW CARRIERS
POSTMASTER SAHM AUTHORIZED TO
EMPLOY THEM AT ONCE.
City to BE Observation-Disclosures In
creased to Eighty-Nine Men-Car-
riers Now Taking a Census.

Postmaster Sahm yesterday made tenn
porary appointments of two clerks to re-
place those relieved last week upon a
charge of opening mail packages. The APP
pointees are William ]. Carroll and Walter
c. Palmer, who stood second and third
on the eligible list. Alva E. Kemmer. form
erly of Rushville, who was first on the
list, wrote that he was employed and could
not afford to take the position.
Mr.. Sahm yesterday received notice from
Washington to employ fifteen additional
carriers, beginning to-day, increasing the
force from seventy-four to eighty-nine. The
first fifteen names on the list of substi
tutes were taken, as follows: William f.
Keisele, Edwin Carskaden, Robert S. Coke
w. Z. Pellet, John +. Quinn, Albert II.
Tolin, George Demng. Michael +. Bradley,
John G. Dehn, James A. Mutt, w. +. Hat
field, Oscar Soper, Loury j. Silver, William
II. Cobb and Jacob f. Poe. This leaves but
one substitute and the first fifteen men on
carriers. The work of redistricting the city
into carriers routes is under way, but will
not be completed for a month yet An eff
fort is being made to thoroughly equaliZe
the work so that one route will be pre-
ciSely as desirable as another. Many of
the carriers under the new arrangement
will work from the SubstationS. The car
rierS are now engaged in taking a census
of the city since the annexation and this
census will be used in making the new dis
tricts. Mr.. Sahm estimates that the bust
ness of the postoffice will be increased Is

RATHBONE SISTERS, TOO.
They VIII Help Crowd indianapolis
During X. of T.. Week.

Mayor Taggart, D. NJ. Parry and Otto
Frenzel, representing the finance committee
that has in charge the matter of raising
funds for the biennial encampment of the
Uniform Rank K. of P, next August, met
at the Merchants National Bank yesterday
afternoon. About fifty additional members
were appointed on the committee. The SUBJ
committees of the finance committee will
canvass the various business interests OF
Indianapolis for funds. Instead Of dividing
the city into districts, this plan was chosen,
and the subcommittee will each have some
branch Of business interests to interview.
Taere was to have been meeting of the
press committee yesterday afternoon, but,
owing to the absence of some of the edi-
torial members from the city, nothing def
mite was done. The press committee has
prepared a prospectus of the coming en-
campment, which is to be published soon,
in order to afford business men of Indian
apolis an idea of the magnitude of the COM
ing convention, what it will mean to Dusl-
ness interests of Indianapolis in IMAM
cial way, and why business concerns shouId
contribute literally to make the encaJnp-
ment a success. Frank Bowers, secretary
of the executive committee, received mo-
nation Yesterday afternoon TO tue erect

larry organization of the K. of F., VIII nave
its meeting here at the time of the en-
campment The Rathbone Sisters is made
up of wives sisters, mothers and oaugh-
tiers Of the members of the order. While
it is sort of auxiliary order to which
knights may belong, the K. Of p. has no
Jurisdiction over it. Mrs. Dr. Tague is the
local secretary Of the womens organiza-
ton. The information that the Rathbone
Sisters will be here at the time OF the en-
campment indicates that the capacity or
the city to entertain the K. of p. and Wis
itors will be taxed to the greatest extent,
inasmuch as both orders will be in session
some two weeks.

FOR THANKSGIVING.
Governor Mount Issues His Annual
Proclamation.

Governor Mount yesterday issued the fol-
lowing Thanksgiving proclamation:
''The past year has been signally crowned

business improvement are everywhere man
ifest The rattle of reapers, heard in fer
tile fields, has been echoed by the whirr of
wheels in busy factories, thus emphasizing
the important lesson of mutual dependence
and strengthening the bonds of good will
and concord. A philanthropic spirit abides
with our people. The cause of education,
which is the anchor of safety to a govern
ment of the people, Is continually being
elevated to higher standard of excellence.
Health prevails, smiling plenty abounds
and hope animateS our citizens. The spirit
of charity inspires the hearts of our people
to greater zeal in their efforts to mitigate
suffering relieve distress, prevent crime, re-
homeless; in short, to lift up humanity, to
make life happier, homes brighter and the
world better.
For all these temporal mercies, and for
the Christlike spirit that inspires to deeds
of love, we should render tribute of
thanksgiving and praise to Almighty God
for His manifold blessings.
THAT we may appropriately acknowledge
our gratitude to Him who has so abundant

PURDUE UNIVERSITY TRUSTEES
New Locomotive to BE Dedicatcd-Re-
ports on improvements.

The board Of trustees of Purdue Univer-
sity met in this city yesterday, instead of
at Lafayette, and transacted good deal
of routine business. President Smart an
nounced the arrival of the new compound
locomotive, Schenectady No. g. and said
preparations had been made for it to start
in business next Wednesday. The dedica-
tory address will be made by ]. T. Brooks,
vice president Of the Pennsylvania system.
This engine was designed at Purdue, and is
a wonder in its way. It's great feature is
one by which they hope to be able to test
the proper ratio between the cylinders on a
compound locomotive. This has been done
satisfactorily for stationary engines, but not
for locomotives By system of bushing
the cylinders can be changed to variety of
factory test of a balance locomotive sent
from Baltimore. By double system of
pistons 1t does away with the pounding ef-
feet of the drive wheels 1t was found to
run with no more vibration than the aver
age stationary engine
The committee on Improvements reported
the expenditure of about $4,000 upon the
mechanical and electrical laboratories
chiefly in securing additional power with a
sterling boiler of 250-horSe power The re-
port to the general government, which has
been prepared by the president, was read
and approved as was the report of the
auditing committee upon the finances of the
institution to June 30. An advantageous
contract for natural and Illuminating gas
was entered into with the Lafayette Gas
Company. President Smart reported do
nations of $500 for the ornamental gate
way and a steam pump with capacity of
two million gallons day, the latter by the
city of Lafayette.

months absence in Europe. Mr.. Lieber was
a member OF the Board of Park Commits
.tcners which has been legislated out of Of
ice by the Supreme Court He expressed
some surprise at the decision, but did not
seem much worried by it, as it will relieve
the board of much onerous work, with no
compensation and a deal of criticism
From all reports" said Mr.. Lieber, you
must have had a very interesting municipal
campaign while was away, and am sorry
missed it. hope that the work that was
planned by the Park Board will not be
dropped"
Mr.. Lieber expressed satisfaction when he
was informed that it is the announced in
tention of the Board of Works to carry out
the plans of the disorganized Park Board
as far as possible. For himself, he does not
care to take any more. part in the park
project, inasmuch as his time Is more than
taken, up with his business.
During the months that Mr.. Lieber was
away he visited Germany, France and
England. Most of his time was spent at
Baden Baden, which he says lis a beautiful
place."
