MRS. PETRO'S MILLINERY
SUBJECTED HER TO INSULTS FROM
BRENTWOOD WORKS EMPLOYEES.
Andrew Latshaw. BrOtheF-in-Law,
Punished by the Indignant Hus-
band for Starting the Affair.

1t was Mrs. Benjamin Petro's hat that
came near causing a riot at the Brentwood
works, west of the river, yesterday morn
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Petro live at No. 56
Coffee street When Mrs. Petro goes to the
grocery she is compelled to pass the Bent
wood works, where there are many men at
work. Among those employed at the works
is Andrew Latshaw, brother-in-law of
Mrs. Petro. Latshaw ard the Petros, it
appears, have not been on very friendly
terms lately.
A few days ago Mrs. Petro purchased a
new hat-a modest bit of millinery trimmed
in green velvet, LatshaW, the first time he
had q glimpse of his sister-in-law's new
bonnet, facetionsly termed it "changeable
hat Since procuring her new millinery
Mrs. Petro has had occasion to pass the
Brentwood works almost daily. Lately she
has complained to her husband that the
men at the works, led by Latshaw, have
been indulging in tiippant remarks at the
expense of her headgear. According to her
statement Latshaw would call out: Here
comes the woman with the changeable hat -
Then dozen men would stop work and
gaze at Mrs. Petro and one of them would
oh Where Did You Get that Hat?" Mr..
Petro was naturally greatly incensed when
his wife related these facts
Yesterday morning Mrs. Petro was COM
PEELED to go to her grocer'S, and she was
greeted with the usual chorus of fiippant
remarks when she came in view. Return
ing home she Indignantly told her husband
about the fresh insult, and Petro, with his
brother. started over to the works to have
an understanding with Latshaw. They
found theymen at the works enjoying day
off, and they were in the yard throwing
horseshoes." BENJAMIN Petro approached
his brother-in-laW and informed him that
Mrs. Petro felt herself nsulted, and nothing
short of apology would satisfy her. Lat
shaw declined TO apologize, and Petro
struck him stunning blow. Petro and his
brother then started to leave the yard and
Latshaw's friends ran after them. Being
close pressed, John Petro picked up brick
and SHE'D it into the crowd This hostile
movement kept the men at bay and the
Petro brothers escaped. Some one in the
neghborhood called the police, and Bicycle
Patrolmen Holtz and Wallace went to Pc
tros home and arrested the brothers Mrs
Petro, with tears in her eyes, exhibited her
new hat to Patrolman Holtz and inquired if
there was anything about the bonnet to
arouse the antagonism of her brother-in-
law. Holtz critically surveyed the hat and
replied that he thought it quite a fetching
bonnet. Mrs. Petro then dried her eyes and
was comforIed. The Petro family resides
in a small though comfortable looking
house. Mrs. Petro told the police that her
brother-in-law sometimes tainted her when
she passed the Brentwood works about living
in cigar box house

Kansas City Team.

There is no hope now of Denny" Lyons,
the old leagurer of st. Louis Browns fame,
coming to indianapolis, at least, this sea-
son. Lyons has been prevailed on by his
best advisers to forswear his habits, and as
he is in the best of form now he does not
wish to play minor league ball. He has had
offers from National League Clubs and will
probably accept one
Patience on the part of the local fans
will be rewarded when the final makeup
of the team is announced. Jesse Hoffmeis-
ter will add strength at third oase, and 1t
is a sure thing that two old familiar faces
not now looked for by the general public
will again be seen in this city. 1t would be
iniudicious at present, the management
thinks, to give the names of the men. but
their advent will almost bring up the team
to its strength of last year. Ed Scott, the
Defiance. o., pitcher, who made such an
enyiable record with Grand Rapids last
season is in town, and will be tower OF
strength in the box this season.

JlNGO AND ANTI-JINGO.
a Sample of the Drugstore Corner
War Talk.

The war excitement rose several degrees
in Indianapolis yesterday. and with it, on
the part of the hot-heads who can't wait,
was considerable criticism of President Nc
Kinley's prudent measures. One of these
hot-heads seemingly unaware that he was
entering the stronghold of McKinleyism in
that hot bed of Repubicansim, the Second
ward, strolled into Undertakes drug store
last evening. The conversation of the men
gathered there smoking their after-supper
cigars was of course, on that all-pervading
topic, war. They were not agreed as to the
wisdom of the Presidents policy, yet none
of them expressed himself very strongly
against it,
Well" said the lingo. who had just en-
tered and stood listening, Il see out in
Durango there We're some people to-day
who had the courage of their convictions
and they burned your President in effigy
They did the right thing, too. I'm not
afraid to say what l think either. and We
ought TO do the same thing here. I'd like TO
and burn Mckinley in person. Nice kind of
a President, amt he? We ought to give the
Spaniards till next October, oughtnt We?
He ought ) be hanged"
Only one man there was who could catch
his breath during this TRADE. and even he
did II with some difficulty; The man was
and his voice choked with patriotic wrath.
He slowly reared his imposing form aloft
Just let me see any one try to hang
President Mckinley in eftigy. Just let me
hear of any one trying to do it, Any cur
that would do that, or any cur that will
talk in such disgraceful manner, ought to
be licked and (brandishing fist that
v ould terrify the most heroic of Spaniards)

Do Not Injure Abutting Property
Other High Court Cases.


The Supreme Court handed down several
decisions yesterday, after weeks Vaca-
ten The most interesting is with refer
ence to the use of the reefs for telephone
poles. The court virtually holds that such a
use is a legitimate outgrowth of modern
needs, and cannot be objected to by prop
erty owners The decision was rendered in
a case that came from Logansport, in
which Rufus Magee was the appellant and
Ellsworth B. Overshiner appellee. Over
sinner attempted to establish private tele-
phone line in Logansport from his office to
his residence. This necessitated the plant
ing of telephone poles. Magee objected to
having them placed in front of his prem
ises The work was done in the night time
and he tried to secure mandate against
Overshiner requiring him to remove the
poles. He failed in this in the lower court,
and the Supreme Court affirms the lower
courts action. The Supreme Court holds
that the use of the streets of city is not
new and additional servitude for which
the Auditing property owner is entitled to
compensation" The decision continues
and wires are a special injury to the enjoy
Tent of the abutting property. Nor DO we
agree with appellant that telephone sys-
tenn may not be owned by an individual be-
cause of the grant by the Legislature of
such rights to corporations. An individual
legislative assent unless there has been
some legislative restriction upon such
right"
The case of Edward Hawkins, receiver of
the Indianapolis National Bank, against the
Fourth National Bank of New York, was
affirmed. The Marion Superior Court held
that the latter bank and the First National
Of Knightstown held a lien on $4,000 worth
of notes pledged for collateral security
with the Indianapolis National by the Eagle
machine works to secure a note for $1,000.
which the Indianapolis National sold to the
Knightstown bank and was by it Endorsed
to the New York bank. The effect is that
the New York bank has the right to claim
a set off. This somewhat reduces the assets
in the hands of the receiver.
