ALLRED'S KNIFE
Acquitted for Carving Mr.. Loomis'
ANATOMY in Self-Defense

A. L. Alfred, an elderly man with gray
beard, was acquitted yesterday in De-
partment one by jury before Judge Smith
of charge of having tried to murder Ray
NJ. LOOMS a neighbor, on Feb 1st.
The fracas occurred on Thirty-second
street, near Griffith. Alfred and Loomis
had some trouble about corral and a
barn which the latter had rented from the
former TO stable his COW and horse. When
Loomis went into The corral Oh the after
noon of the 1st OF February he and Alfred
had row, IN which they used bad Ian
euase toward each other. Then Alfred
hauled off and slapped his knife, which
he had open in his hand. into the top or
LOOMS head. He also cut him a cash
six inches long in the arm. The men then
clinched: Alfred was thrown, and as he
went down he stuck his knife into Loomis'
side. The man was confined to his bed
during the whole month Of February as a
consequence of the wounds inflicted.
This was Loomis' side of the affair, but
when the defense produced its evidence ii
turned out that Alfred had acted in self
defense. when Loomis, a much younger
man, struck him with heavy iron milk
pail and threw him down. 1t was on the
suggestion of the district attorney tina,
the court advised the jury TO acquit.

ETHICS OF CIVILIZATION
A Paper Read Before the Frida,
Morning Club

The paper before the Friday Morning
club yesterday was read by Mrs. r. w.
PoindeXter. The speaker said the title of
the paper as given in the printed program
was not the one she had selected and she
felt it to be rather pretentious. 1.-THE Ethics
of Civilization" called for far more than a
comparison of social customs Of eastern
and western people.
The paper touched upon the burdens i'm
posed by many of the forms and ceremonies
of American social life, habits of dress and
conduct 1t dwelt especially upon the
thoughtless if not senseless following of
fashion in cut, texture and even color in
the matter of clothing from season to sea-
son. The simplicity of Japanese life was
portrayed as a contrast to that of our own
The paper was followed by a few remarks
from DR.. ELI Fay, who called civilization
to account for a few of the most heinous
offenses and gave the audience few hints
of its responsibilities.

PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.

occurred on the Indiana, Decatur and

morning. fifty-two miles west of In

dianapolis express, eastbound, left the
track west of a high trestle and passed
over the trestle, which was sixty feet
long, with seven coaches off the rails
and humping along the ties. The trestle
is fifty feet high, and it is considered
phenomenal that the train was not
hurled off into the creek, in which
event the slaughter of life would have
been awful.
The rear car had just left the trestle
when spreading Of the rails ahead of
the baggage car piled the seven cars
into a heap. The baggage car and
smoker were ground almost into splin-
ters and all of the cars were badly
wrecked. There were about fifty pas
sengers on the train and not a woman
or child in the list II is claimed that
the train was running at nearly sixty
miles an hour to make up for lost time
