RAHKE'S SUNDAY SHOWS
VAUDEVILLE AND GAMBLING OPPO-
SITE STATE FAIR GROUNDS.
Circular Issued Announcing the Boss
Gamblers Future Intentions
at 'sThe Farm"

Gus Rahke, who has made thousands of
dollars in his various gambling dens over
the city and at West Indianapolis, and who
has been running gambling house in the
city recently, has renamed his place oppo-
site the fair grounds and called it 1.-THE
Farm He has distributed circulars over
the town announcing that two vaudeville
shows will be given every Sunday. 1.-THE
Farm" has recently been added to by the
erection of a large barnlike structure, in
which the shows are to be held. In the
older part of the place is a saloon on the
ground floor and a gambling room on the
second floor.
While the Indiana brigade was in camp
at the fair grounds several of the young SOL
diers became drunk and lost their money
in the place. The officers had much trouble
with it until they placed guards in front of
the doors, who refused to allow the other
soldiers to enter. The veranda on the Sec
ond floor was lined with the sports of the
town, and often f1ashily- dressed women sat
there with them. Dave Fairs place, further
west on the same road, has heretofore re-
ceived most of the patronage OF men accom-
panied by women, but it is expected that
the new feature of Rahke's place will at
tract there great crowds of men and women
looking for excitement on Sundays. The
place has never been bothered by the police,
though during the days of the big crowds
of visitors at Camp Mount detectives and
patrolmen were sent to the fair grounds to
look for sneak thieves. At that time all
kinds of games were running at Rahke S
Joint" just across the road from the street
railroad station and the main entrance to
the fair grounds

HIGH-PRlCED TELEPHONES.
The City Has Another White Elephant
Hand.

One OF the questions, and an important
one, that confronts the city controller in
making up the estimates of the expenses of
the city administration next year is the
telephone item. 1t will cost the city about
$500 for telephones next year if the Central
Union Company is still patronized. The city
is paying $40 a year for each of the twenty
six fire department telephones. and the
Board of Safety estimated this expense to
be $500 for next year. The Central Union
Company has notified the board that here
after regular rates will be charged for the
fire department telephones. Regular rates"
means fire department telephones will cost
$1,7S4. The bill for telephone service for
the police department will be $S9S for 1899.
OF this amount sos will be for the tele-
phones in connection with the Gameweil
police telegraph system. The Central Union
Company controls these telephones, and will
charge the city IS year for the privilege
of using each one of them. The police tele-
graph system will cost the city 5000 next
twenty-five additional patrol boxes, but
does not include salaries for the operators
In all the city's expense for telephone and
police telegraph service for 1899 will be
around $4,000. City Controller Johnson SAYS
he Will reduce this amount both by cutting
down the number OF telephones and their
cost II he has to make a contract with the
New Telephone Company. or put in a plant
for the tire department alone.

GANG ONCE LIVED HERE
JOHNsONS AND $4,000 IN COUNTER
FELT CAPTURED AT DETROIT.
Lived in Luxurious style There-Their
Grandfather,s House ON North
Illinois Street.

Treasury Agent Carter has returned from
Detroit, where he went two weeks ago to
assist in the raid made by Chief Wilkie, of
Johnson gang of counterfeiters. Major Car
ter says the Johnsons have been making
two-dollar counterfeit silver certificates for
the last five years. In the raid the officers
captured about $4,000 of counterfeit money,
with an entire outfit for making the stuff.
The plates which the officers confiscated
are said to be the finest that ever fell into
the hands of the government The raid re-
suited in the arrest of the three Johnson
brothers, Edward, David and Charles, with
Mrs David Johnson and Mrs. Georgiana
Bayless, a sister of the Johnson brothers.
Major Carter says the Johnsons occupied
two fine residences in Detroit and were liv-
ing luxuriously. The officers who made the
arrests took axes and nearly chopped the
houses to pieces in order to locate the plates
and presses. In the houses the counterfeit
money was found hidden away. Major Car
ter says that David Johnson professed to
be a travelling man and his wife appeared
to be greatly interested in church work.
Years ago, it is said, George Johnson, the
grandfather of the Johnson brothers lived
in this city, North Illinois street Major
Carter says it was always supposed that a
gang of counterfeiters operated in the
house in which George Johnson lived. Sew
eral years ago when the house was torn
down some colored men found small
bucketfull of counterfeit half dollars on the
premises. The prisoners arrested at Detroit
have pleaded guilty to the charge of coun-
terfeiting.

EXPLOSION UNDER A CAR
SOME "SPANIARD" PUT A NINE ON
COLLEGE-AvENUE LINE RAIL.
Mrs. A. l.. Smith Rendered UncOn-

Car Shattered.

A terrific explosion at the corner of ST.

where College avenue cars turn north oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon at about 5
o'clock, and frightened people a block away
Some mischievous body, small boy or de-
signing villain, had placed what was at
first believed to be dynamite cartridge
upon the left rail of the tracks for out
going street cars. COllege-avenue car No.
4O7 was the first to pass over the track after
the explosion had been arranged. The front
end of the car was lifted from the track
and the left front wheel was broken. The
glass in the car windows was shattered,
and the passengers, car full, were badly
shaken.
The motorman, as he went to make the
turn into College avenue noticed something
on the track. but supposing that it was
only paper, gave no heed to it. The explo-
sive was powerful, and made a noise that
could be heard a long distance away. Mrs.
A. l.. Smith, 1913 Ash street, was shocked
and rendered unconscious. She was re-
moved to her home, where it was at first
believed the drum of her ear was ruptured
This proved to be untrue however. Two
other ladies tainted. but were soon restored
to consciousness, and another old lady was

Richardson. 1914 Ash street, was standing
on the rear platform, where he distinctly
felt the car lift slightly. He called to the
conductor to throw off the trolley, thinking
that some electrical accident had occurred.
At about the same time the motorman called
back the same instructions. 1t was soon
learned, however, that nothing was wrong
with the mechanism of the car and investi-
cation showed the remnants of the exploded
torpedo.
The repair wagon was quickly called and
the motor was run to the side of the street
where new truck was soon fitted on the
front part of the car. Whether the acct
dent was the result of some thoughtless
prank or the designed meanness of some
coward, is not known. No motive for the
action can be assigned. but an investigation
Will be made and efforts TO apprehend the
guilty party will be pushed. 1t was at first
stated that dynamite caused the explosion
but it was cited that the force of a dyna-
mite explosion is downward, while the en-
tire effect of this torpedo was toward the
car; Nitroglycerin or one of several other
explosives may have been used

TURNED INTO A JOY MEETING.
Ladies' Auxiliary Hears that the Bat
terry Is Ordered Home.


There was large attendance of the Sol
diers' Aid Society yesterday morning in the
woman's department of the Indiana Trust
Company and a thorough and general dis
cussion was expected regarding the plans
already proposed The suggestion that an
agent be sent to investigate was dropped at
the Monday meeting, but yesterday the de-
cision was to be reached as to whether the
ladies should send an agent to look after
the sick soldiers of the Twenty-seventh
Battery. A letter was read from Captain
when word was telephoned that the Twen-
ty-seventh was to be mustered out of serv-
ice and the men would be ordered home
soon. The meeting was changed from one
of work to one of rejoicing, and there were
the usual feminine demonstrations over such
q glad piece of news, hurrah! being loud
and frequent. All efforts to send relief will
be abandoned, and the ladies will give their
attention to the care of the sick on their
return and for a fitting reception to the nus
bands sons and brothers when they shall
come back to their. homes in this city.

crowd in front of English's Hotel last night
watching the parade two strong rough
coiored women eibowed their way in front

15sTH MAY SEE CUBA.
One Reason Colonel Smiths Letter
Was Indefinite.


DR.. S. H. Moore, of this city, has received
a letter from his son Harry, who enlisted
with the Observation-Disclosures eighth In
diana as hospital steward, but who is now
attached to division headquarters at Knox
vile, Tenn, stating that the One-hundred-
and-fifty-eighth is on the reserve list for
the occupation of Cuba. Harry Moore says
the report, which seems to be based on re-
liable authority, is that the whole Second
Brigade of the Second Division. First Army
Corps, will go with General Fftzhugh Lee to
Havana in the fall. 1t is believed here by
friends of the One-hundred-and-if ty-eighth
that Colonel Smith and other officers or the
regiment have been promised service IN
Cuba, and for that reason the colonePs reply
to Governor Mounts telegram of inquiry,
as to whether the regiment desired to be
mustered out, was indefinite. 1t is also
thought that members of the One, hundred.7
-fifty-eighth who wish to come home will
be mustered out and men OF other Indiana
regiments who desire to remain In service
will take the places of those VINO leave the
observation-disclosures fty-eighth.
