ON THE BOWL-SHAPED TRACK
The Five Women Flyers Will Start
T0-MOrrOw Night.

Everything is now ready for the womens
six-day bicycle race which is to begin to-
morrow night in Tomlinson Hall. The work
on the track began yesterday and will be
finished to-day at noon. All the timbers
were prepared, and it is the work of but a
few hours, under the supervision of Mr..
Stobbard, to put them together. The riders
are all here except Miss Farnsworth, and
1t is now doubtful if she comes. Nothing has
been heard from her since she wired that
she thought she would be able to cancel
her Minneapolis engagement. Her silence
is taken to mean that she is unable to come.
Those here are Tille Anderson, Lizzie CLAW
Ida Peterson, Marie Feiring and Bertha
Wagner.
On an indoor track the size of the one in
a. few riders, as there is always a chance
for serious accident when the track is
crowded The five who will ride are prob
ably the fastest five riders of their sex III
the United States With such riders as
CLAW and Peterson there is no such thing
slow race, as they do not know what
it is to loaf. Marie Feiring also has a repu-
tation of being Splinter from start to fin
ish. The management, however, has placed
a 200-mile minimum limit on the race, and
no rider who makes less than this distance
of the prize money. 1t is safe to say that
this precaution will not save any of the
prize money to the management, for any of
the riders can do a great many more than
200 miles. the race will start tomorrow
night at S:15 o'clock.

Harvey knowles.

Harvey Knowles, general yardmaster Of
the Union Railway Company, died early
yesterday morning, after an illness of but
four days. On Tuesday last he was on
duty. He died of pneumonia. which af
fected his heart early in his illness, and, be-
ing very fieshy man. he succumbed rap
idly to this frequently fatal disease. His
funeral will occur this afternoon at 2
o'clock and will be attended by number
of railroad men from other points, as well
as those residing in this city.
Mr.. Knowles was for number of years
a passenger conductor on the Indianapolis
& st. Louis road. In 1875 the late D. F.
Whitcomb, then superintendent of the
Union Railway Company, employed him,
first as a switchman, and in 1876 promoted
him to be general yardmaster. He was a
very faithful man to the company, and had
many friends outside of railroad as well as
in railroad circles. The deceased was one

CHRIST CHURCH SPARED
COLUMBIA CLUB DECIDES NOT TO
PURCHASE THIS SITE.
An $50, 200 Building VIII BE Built on
the Present Club Grounds
The Plans.

The Columbia Club has abandoned the
project of purchasing the Christ Church
property for a building site and will put up
the new clubhouse on it's own ground, The
conclusion was reached last night at an
adjourned meeting of the stockholders of
the club. The building committee and
board Of directors were present and recon-
mended that the clubs plans concerning
the Christ Church property be given up.
1t was clearly shown that it would cost
much more to build on the church property
on account of the irregular formation of
the ground. The building would have to
front on both Meridian street and Monu-
ment place. On the site now occupied by
the club the new house can be erected on
almost straight lines.
AT the club meeting last night the build
ing committee was authorized to go ahead
with the construction of an $4,000 building.
1t will be of brick and stone and tire-proof.
1t will be a four-story structure, with
basement and roof garden. There will be
sleeping rooms for out-of-town members
and living rooms for resident members. The
building committee will hold a meeting
within "a few days to select architects, who
will be asked to present plans. Indianapo-
lis architects will be invited to compete
with few from other cities. The building
committee, board of directors superintend-
ent of the club and the house committee
will visit Chicago and number of Eastern
cities in search of new ideas in club archi-
lecture. While the new house is being
built the club will occupy other quarters
but the usual excellent cuisine and service
will not be interfered with. The library
committee of the club expects to establish
a valuable library of general reference for
the new building. The club membership
has now reached the limit of $780, with fifty
six applicants ON the waiting list

AN ADVERSE REPORT.
Council Will Not Recommend EIec-
tric-Light Ordinance


Tomorrow night the Council committee
on contracts ana franchises will make an
adverse report on the ordinance introduced
by Mr.. Little reducing the cost of cleo
trio lighting. This is done notwith
standing the committee obtained from
City Attorney Kern written opin-
ion stating that the Council has the
right under the charter to regulate electric.
water and gas rates. Members of the com
mittee argue against Mr.. Titles ordinance
that it does not take into consideration the
fact that electric service is furnished by
meter. They say that it would not be fair
to require man using his incandescent
lights two hours a night to pay as much as
the man using them all night There was
another objection to the ordinance. 1t UNI
dertook to fix the price to be charged by
electric companies for arc lights without
taking into consideration the contract the
city has. 1t would have been an easV mat
ter to remedy this defect, it is claimed by
Mr.. Little, by making the ordinance cover
only private service
Mr.. Little said yesterday that he had not
decided what course he. will pursue with re-
gard to introducing an ordinance reducing
meter rates he said that he wanted first
to get data along that line. While consid-
erably disappointed on learning his electric
ordinance was not to be reported faVorably
he seemed to think the opinion of the city
attorney would aid him in getting the water
ordinance passed. IT is now ready to be
reported favorably and could be called up
tomorrow night, but it is likely most of the
ordinance, so that the water ordinance cam
not be reached.

Captain Black. of the United States re-

that ffty-five men had been accepted dur
ing the week for enlistment in the Sixth
and Seventh United States artillery regi-
ments, and that the number of applications
on file Indicated that the number that will
be accepted during the next week will also
be large. The great majority of the men are
obtained from the country districts. las a
rule the young farmer, says the captain,
sis free from many of the physical defects
found in the city boy. He is more earnest
in choosing an occupation and makes the
best all-round soldier"
Captain Black believes that Indiana has
a larger proportion of active soldiers in the
army than any other State. He says that
the material for soldiers in this State is ex-
cellent and that in case of war the Cover
nor would find lots of active. well-seasoned
young men from the farms who would be
capable of commanding State troops and
volunteers.

LIGHT SUDDENLY CEASED
PUBLIC INCANDESCENT SYSTEM
BROKE DOWN FOR A SHORT TINE.
stores Crowded with Saturday-Night
shoppers Plunged in Darkness
At the Park Theater.

All the incandescent lights supplied by the
Electric Light and Power Company went
out last night shortly after o'clock, and
many of the stores crowded with Saturday
night shoppers and newspaper offices were
plunged into total darkness for some min
utes After a. little time about one-half of.
the lights began TO burn dimly, and it was
from twenty minutes to a half hour before
the service was completely restored.
The extinguishing of the lights caused but
little excitement, although some of the dry
goods stores were well filed with cus>
toners. At the Park Theater there was
packed house. but no trouble whatever re-
suited. The ushers made rush for the
exits and threw them all open, while other
attendants hastily turned on the gas. The
audience was scarcely given time to realize
the situation before the gas was
lighted. On the stage at the time
apollo" was giving dance on
q tight rope. He simply tilted his pole SO
that it touched the stage and then deftly
jumped down. But some of the stores that
had no gas connection Jared badly. Bur-
nett's restaurant and the Bates House shoe
store were among the places that were to-
tally without lights. In the restaurant a
number of people were eating and the pro-
prietor resorted to tallow candles. In other
places Dlcycle lamps were the only means
available to produce light. Those stores,
however, that we're wired with the three
wire system were in darkness only few
minutes until every alternate light began
to burn, although with diminished strength.
At WaSson's the customers in the basement
were much perturbed, but in short time
the gas was lighted.
Efforts were made to find out the cause of
the mishap at the power station, but the
employees were not disposed to. talk. An ac-
cident OF some nature happened TO one of
the two machines that supply the incandes-
cent system. This is the first serious break
down that has happened for q long time.
The street arc lights being on separate
circuit, were not extingushed.

From the New York Press.
do you know who has the finest resi-
dence in New York;" asked th earchitect.
All guessed. AT mention of the palaces of
the Astors, Vanderbilts, Sloanes, Gerrys.
Yerkses, Fishes, Morgans, Rockefellers,
Havemeyers and other equally well-known
millionaires he shook his head. Certain
names brought sneers. Finally he ended
the contest by saying: you never could
guess. The finest house in New York be-
longs to Mr.. E. ]. Berwind." This was a
sumner but there, may be truth in the
statement. Ned Berwind is an old friend,
with an income of 100000 year, which he
does not know how to spend. He is head
of the great Berwind and White Coal COM
pany. and wants to invest some of his BIZ
luminous millions in palace which he is
now building in East Sixty-eighth street.
