INTEREST IN WRESTLING.
One Match TO-Night-The Turk and
Ross TO-MorFOyv.

There is considerable interest in wrestling
this week, and tonight at Tomlinson Hall,
Sam Murbarger, a local star, who has new
er been defeated will try a so with an 'un-
known" whom Harvey Parker has brought
here. This unknown it is said, is Ed
Atherton, of Chicago the "motorman
wrestler" and he will go on the mat at
about 152 pounds, while Murbarger will
wrestle at 15S or thereabouts.
Hall Adali. Turkish wrestler, who is cut
ting swath through the ranks of the
wrestlers of this country, arrived in Indian
apolis last night He comes for a match
with Duncan Ross, who was also born in
Turkey, and who has himself gained pres
tige among athletes The meeting will be at
the Empire Theater tomorrow night, after
the regular performance of the "City
Sports" Adali is a. man-mountain dressed
in red and gold. His manager dressed in the
way OF ordinary mOrtalS, but the wrestler
IS clothed in wonderful garments He APP
pears fat and hfs face is round and flabby-
looking His chest is expansive and deep
and it's muscles are large The muscles of
his thighs are also greatly developed His
arms are big in proportion to the rest of
his body, but the muscles are seemingly
soft and not knotted as might be expected.
The Turk does not talk English and cam
not write has name even in his own Ian
guage, but he laughs just as heartily a
Christian. He Is good-natured monster,
and takes a deep interest in anything new
to him A typewriting machine attracted
him and he examined it closely. He had not
seen his opponent, but he was not worrying
about him. He is led around by his man
ager, who talks English fluently just like
child that cannot take care of itself. Ross
is not nearly so strong as the Turk. but the
latter has never wrestled in harness and it
Is thought possible that Ross may show a
few funny tricks. Adali defeated Youssouf
the terrible wrestler who went down
wi.n La Bourgogne, in watch with MIN
at Adrianople.

STREET-RAILROAD BONDS
REPORT THAT PRESIDENT or THE
PENNSYLVANIA CONTROLS THEM.
Rumor Has II that He Bought Them
on Opinion by General Har-
rison.

President Thomson. of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, and a friend named Cassatt are
said to have been buying the bonds of the
Citizens Street-railroad Company Of Indian
apolis lately, and the understanding is that
they now own majority Of the underlying
securities of that corporation Rumor has
it that their recent purchases We're based
on the opinion Of General Harrison ana
other attorneys of the road that the position
of the company is legally itnpresnable, and
that relief Will not have to be asked Of the
Legislature.
Thus far no particular activity has been
shown by the Citizens Street-railroad Of
ficiais towards a legislative campaign In
the Werner and Mckee days this close to
legislative session the Pittsburg crowd ana
its followers were much in evidence around
the hotels. Mr. Turner, at the head of the
company, was in the city few days ago,
but only for day. There has been some
talk that the company would attempt to
secure the repeal of the three-cent fare bill,
but apparently no efforts have as yet been
put forward. The litigation by the city is
proceeding slowly. The city has secured all
the victories in the state courts, while the
company has thus far been successful in the
federal courts, but it remains to be seen
whether or not the Supreme Court of the
United States will sustain the opinion of the
late Judge Showalter

CAN'T CONVICT cADwALLADER.
Jury Proved as Lenient as We're De-
funct Bank DepOsitOrs.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WINCHESTER, Ind, Dec. 13.-Charles
Cadwallader cashier of the defunct Union
City Bank was acquitted on the charge of
embezzlement to-day after the jury had
been out all night. If Cadwallader were
guiltless people are asking why he de-
camped and kept concealed in the West ever
since the failure and fought the extradi-
ton to return him to Indiana for trial. The
case against Cadwallader was given TO the
jury last night at 10 o'clock and the jury re-
turned a,verdict at l o'clock to-day. Cad
wallader was charged, with his father, with
wrecking the Union City Citizens Bank.
The father was tried and fined some time
ago and the present trial has been in prog
resS three weeks. Few prisoners in this
county have had to face as strong evidence
as was produced against the eX-banker, but
the influence used to save him was success
full. Persons who had suffered by the fail
ure of the bank testified to the previous good
character of the defendant, and did all in
their power to save him from the peniten-
tiary This case has cost Randolph county
fully 81 600 and it cost the citizens interested
in bringing Cadwallader back from Cali
fornia 81 900 more. w. A. Thompson, of
Muncie who was employed by the citizens of
Urion City to prosecute Cadwallader, opened
and closed the argument in a mastery way.
James T.. Watson and Theodore Shockney
spoke for the defense.

There are two ways Of ending THE Dis
trict Attorney" which the Grand Stock
Company Isl playing this week. One is to
have Matthew Brainerd's illness in the last
act result fatally and thus remove from
the scene a perplexing quantity, as it is
difficult for the playwright to satisfactorily
dispose ofthis character. The other. and the
one used by the stock company here is to
have John Stratton resign his office and
devote himself to saving his father-in-laW
froin prison. The justification Stratton
makes for "a course of action entirely in
consistent with his character is that Brain
erd has, since acquiring wealth. done many
very benevolent actions and that he will
devote, If necessary, his entire fortune
toward making restitution for what he has
helped take from the city. The version of
the last act used here is generally known
as the happy one. 1t was deemed better
to use it than to send the audiences away
this week feeling that they had witnessed
something in the way of a tragedy. There
is much emotional work in The District
Attorney" and of its four acts the third is
decidedly the strongest There will be a
matinee to-day.

some lots in the gas belt and at Omaha,
which Voris said he was holding as collateral
for the payment OF the note. Mr.. Mount

pronounced it a forgery. The defense filed
objections to the Indictment in that Mount $

Ezra Voris" and 'E. c. Voris." The note
was dated Jan. 49, 1898, and was due in five
months Mrs. Fullenwider and her son and
sister, Miss Edna Canine, testified that the

wider testified that he had gone to see VIII
liam Mount about going on the note, but
that he refused. AS Fulenwider was re-
turning to town from Mounts ne said he met
a man named Bratton, who offered for $40
to get Mount to sign the note, and Fullen-
wider said he halted in the road while Brat
ton returned to Mounts. and that Bratton
came back with the name on the note ana
he gave Bratton $40 for his work. rms

the tax levy of Marion with that of other
towns in Indiana where the conditions are

Fire started in a shed at the water works,
at Washington and Geisendorff streets, early
yesterday morning and burned a horse and
buggy. The flames communicated to Mer-
ritt's wooden mill and caused a loss of 81 COO
The damage was done to the main room of
the mill. 1t was difficult for the firsmen to
get at the blaze, and had it not been for
automatic sprinklers, with which the mill is
equipped, the damage would probably have
been much greater than it was. As it was.
the flames grew stronger until the metal
shoppers of the Sprinklers were melted. The
horse that was burned belonged TO Frank
Bihlmaien and the buggy to John Rail. chief
engineer at the water works. 1t is supposed
the fire was started by tramps who had been
sleeping in the shed.
