They VIII Baptize at Broad Ripple
Next Sunday.


Next Sunday.
The camp meeting of the Pentecost Bands
at Broad Ripple Park is still in progress,
and the interest is increasing with each
nights service. 1t will continue over next
Sunday. Doctrinally the sect is Wesleyan,
and the meetings are representative of old
fashioned camp meetings. There is much
demonstration, and frequently, while some
stirring song is being sung, dozen or more
people will be on their feet shouting and
even leaping, and with shining faces, testi-
flying that God is blessing their souls. Their
manner of securing converts is greatly in
contrast with the popular methods usually
employed by the churches. The mourners
bench before the pulpit is usually filled with
seekers when the call is made at the close
of the preaching service. After an interval
of weeping, grooming and praying. the seek
ers generally rise to their feet and joyfuily
claim to have received a change of heart.
There are some good preachers among them.
One of them, tall. ungainiy Dane, attracts
special attention by getting uncontrollably
happy and skipping around like a school
taiker.
Among the women workers there are some
talented singers, and their stirring and pa
thetic solos make an impression on the au-
dience. The services last from early morn
ing until late in the night, almost without
intermission.
Monday afternoon two special services,
one for the men and another for the women
were held by Rev. Nelson and his wife,
respectively. Mr.. Nelson claims to have dis
covered the cause and remedy for the ills
attendant upon those who live hcentious
lives. Both old and young who attended
this meeting testify to having received much
light and help through this agency. A sim
liar special service for each sex will be
held Friday afternoon at 2:3O. The meet
ings are open for the public There will be
an ordination meeting for workers of both
sexes Thursday night. A number will be
ordained. The ceremony employed is large
ly peculiar to the sect and impressive. There
will also be a special baptismal service Sun
day afternoon at the river

STRIKE AGAINST 4 TRUST.
Wire and Nail Workers Resist q Deep
Cut In Wages.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. "A strike was
formally declared to-day by the federated
wire trades at the works of the H. p. Nail
Company and American Wire Company,
both Of which are now under control OF
the recently formed wire and nail trust.
The strike, when the rod mill and yard
men of the American Company join it. will
throw about 21O0 men out OF employment
or these 900 are from the H. p. Company
and loo from the American works. The
strikers have decided not to pay any at
tention to the old Consolidated, or Baacke,s
mill, which is also controlled by the trust
and where the men are all working The
cause OF the strike Is the alleged general
cut or SO l-S per cent. in wages and a
threatened cut of 20 per cent. more.
Word came to the strikers late this after
noon that the Baackus mill had closed
ostensibly for repairs. But it was stated
the move was for the purpose of checking
any dissatisfaction that might obtain in
that plant. This swells the number OF men
idle to $500. The Federated Wire Trades Of
ncers say the strike will be extended to
every mill controlled by the American Wire
over six thousand men in ALL
The strikers held a meeting to-day at
which 1t was resolved to send no more COM
from the mills and give no opportunity for
the company to call on the militia or APP
peal to the United States Court for an in
junction, but TO maintain a peaceable atti-
tude and wait. 1t was also determined TO
strike at every one of the American steel
and trust mills which is now In operation,
and, If possible, to force them out OF the
market.
Manager George H. Shuler, of the COM
pany, in an interview to-day said: THE
American Steel and Wire Company has net
reduced the wages of the men since last
April, when the mills started up At that
time the wire drawers of the American anr
II. =. mills were cut about Is per cent. and
the men at the Consolidated and Baackus
mills received a slight increase. This was
done to systemic the scale of wages paid
at all the mills. and at that time the men
expressed themselves as satisfied with the
conditions"

His Conscience Troubled Him.

Ed III. Bartlett. liz South Alabama street,
was arrested last night upon charge of
criminal assault upon Nellie Kerfoot,
twelve-year-old girl who is visiting a neigh
Dor of Bartlett. The story of the act first
came to the police through the old man
himself, who, Observation-Disclosures and I'M
able to sleep, had risen from his bed and
made his way to the police Headquarters.
Monday afternoon he went out blackberry
ing and had brought back a quantity of
fruit. The child had come to his room and
asked for berries. While there Bartlett
kissed her. This was his story to the po-
lice. Patrolmen Holtz and Wallace went
to the home of the aunt of the child, and
the story was there confirmed but it was
not desired to prosecute Bartlett as the
child had not been injured. He was locked
up, nevertheless. Bartlett is an old soldier,
and 1T is not believed that he is in full
possession of his faculties. During the war
he was shot twice in the head.

A WHITESTOWN MAN HURT.
Willis Floyd Rum Over by a Heavy
Delivery Wagon.

Willis Floyd, of Whitestown, Ind, came
to this city yesterday, and, when the storm
blew up so quickly at 6 o'clock, was near
the corner of Alabama and Washington
streets. He weighs about 275 pounds, and
consequently was not very quick in getting
to shelter. He started across the street d.
rectly in front of an approaching delivery
wagon, which was making time to get out
of the storm. The man was knocked down
end both wheels of the heavy wagon passed
over his head. 1t is also believed he was
kicked on the head by the horse Two men
ran to his assistance, but, rather than get
soaking wet, left him lying in the street.
He was later moved into a store, and then
taken to the Dispensary. He was very Ill,
and 1t was feared his skull was fractured.
At the City Hospital, where he was moved,
it was learned, however, that Il serious con-
cussion was the extent of the injury.

OnHcers Elected by the Association at
Betluny.


Yesterday was thu second day of the state
Sunday school convention at Bethany Park
with a fair attendance, but not up to the
expectations. The day was pleasant and
cool and the guests occupied the time in
gossiping on the verandas. some with fancy
work, while others played croquet or went
boating on the lake. In the afternoon just
before supper time a thunderstorm came
up, doing considerable damage to the dwell
lers in tents, and making it necessary for
people to stay in doors all evening. The
people who suffered most were a party from
Arcadia which had recently come to the
park. The wind blew its tent down and be-
fore the people recovered from their aston
ishment everything in it was wet through
and through, leaving them without shelter
or bedding for the night Five other tents
blew down also.

The State Board of Health has been ap-
pealed to for support by some of the citizens
of Monticello, who are in favor of putting in
a new sewer system in that town The
board some time ago sent out reports to the
citizens of different towns, outlining a plan
for the sanitation of small towns as a
means of preventing disease. Since that
time some of the influential citizens in Mon
ticello have tried to secure new sewer
system, but have met considerable opposi-
ton from the more old-fashioned element.
"A lively fight was scheduled for last night
to which DIR. Hurry was invited to give his
views on the matter before the convention
assembled to discuss the question.

who desire to have the county build new
and modern building, are making a

health will permit and the chances are
