pated by the representatives of the Uni
versity of Indianapolis and the University

macher theological. '99. OF South Bend, Ind.
and Harry p. Barry, law, 90, of Sioux City,

ton from among twenty-seven a%spirants for
places on the team. Mr.. Barry Was seen
in indianapolis last year as a sprinter on
the Notre Dame track team, which won

SHE R AS SHE RAN
MRS. MARY RAFFERTY, SENT FIVE
BULLETS AFTER vINsoN.
Old story Of q Woman scorned-He
Is n Theatcr Em-
plOye.

Shortly after Z o'clock last evening. while
Archibald Vinson. who is employed at the
Grand Opera House, was assisting Mrs.
Louise Jaycox in fitting up her new home
at No. 416 Bright street, he heard a wom-
ans voice call out "Archie," and he turned
to find himself confronted by Mrs. Mary
Rafferty,, a widow, Of No. 500 West Mary
land street, who held a cooked revolver in
her hand. There was no opportunity to dis
arm the woman and Vinson sprang through
the open doorway, with Mrs. Rafferty, in
swift pursuit. One shot was fired as he
reached the center Of the street; a second
came as he turned up a convenient alley,
and three more struck the barns lining his
path as he sprinted for safety. Mrs. Raft
erty developed wonderful speed, and she
kept within range until Vinson reached Yer
mont street, when she threw the empty re-
volver at his head and gave up further pur-
suit. Detective Thornton arrested Mrs.
Rafferty,.
Vinson said he formerly paid court TO Mrs.
Rafferty,, who is the mother Of three chill
dren, but later they became estranged. Mrs.
Jaycox is also attached to the Grand Opera
House working force, and 1t is presumed
that Mrs. Rafferty, surmised that her former
betrothed had turned his attentions in that
direction. Yesterday afternoon she APP
peared at the new home and threatened
Mrs. Jaycox and Vinson. Her second visit
was not anticipated. Recently Dickson e.
Talbot received an anonymous letter, warn
ing them against Vinson as a bad man, and
just before the season closed, Mrs. Bellows.
wife OF the stage manager, received a letter
purporting 10 be signed by Vinson, which
was calculated to prejudice his standing
with the theatrical force. Both letters, Vim
son says, were evidently written by Mrs.
Rafferty,.

WHITE RIVER NAVIGATION.
The Commercial Club Turns Its At
tentiOn to 1t.

indianapolis has so long come to be re-
garded an inland town hat few of her
p~ublic-spirited citizens have given much at
tention to the possibilities OF White river
as a highway TO the sea, or to the Ohio,
or at least to Noblesville and Martinsville.
In the pioneer days a steamboat now and
then used TO get up as far as this city. The
Commercial Club directors have turned
their attention to the stream as a naviga-
ton possibility, and at a meeting yester-
day d. NJ. Parry reported that he had as
certained from the War Department that
White river is a navigable stream and at
his suggestion the advisability Of an eff
fort to secure water transportation from
this city to Indiana towns was referred to
the committee on commerce. Men familiar
with the channel OF the river say that with
a comparatively small expenditure on the
part of the government the river could be
opened as far north as Noblesville, while a
fair slice OF the rivers and harbors appro-
p~riation would make smooth sailing below
the city. All boats now on the river have
to pay a license fee to the government and
furthermore they must. suffer the ignomy
OF having Port of Evansville" painted on

Charity Organization Report.

During the month of April the Charity
Organization Society received forty-nine APP
plications for aid. Twenty-three of these
were made because Of sickness. Two hun
dred and lightweight dollars was sub
scribed to the Charity Organization Society
last month. The collectors for the Dime
Savings made 5,4A visits and received 2,15
payments, amounting to $1,4S5. 20; $40 pay
ments were made at the office, amounting to
81, 1895.
Thirty-ive quarter-acre gardens have
been given to as many persons. Many more
applications for gardens nave been re-
ceived than can so far be provided because
of lack Of funds. Many Of the families who
had gardens last season came back this
year. These were given the preference.
There are many men who are only partially
employed and cannot secure for themselves
and families the necessities OF life; there
are others who from some physical defect
enter into the fierce competitive struggle for
life. In such cases the privilege of cultivat-
ing a garden is q. great help. This assistance
gives encouragement where IL is most
needed, affords outdoor exercise, and this
administers to health and does not pauper-
ize.
ing libraries has been received. A library OF
this kind consists of fifteen or twenty we'll
chosen books, children's magazines and
some games. II is placed I'm the home OF a
family which cannot provide the best litera-
ture for the children and one of the children
OF the home is iHade librarian. Neighbors'
children draw the books and take them
home. Then all meet with the visitor once
a week at the home of the librarian. talk
over what they have read, relate the stories,
draw illustrative pictures, play games and
all spend a helpful hour together. When the
children have become sufficiently acquainted
with this library another takes its place
and 1t travels TO another home. This is the
plan used in Boston for years and recently
adopted by the Chicago Bureau OF Asso-
ciated Charities.

that a viaduct at this point with two road

GRAND JURY INSTRUCTIONS.


The grand jury in the United States Dis
trict Court was called together yesterday
afternoon and nineteen men responded.
Judge Baker appointed Elisha Rowland, Of
Marion county. foreman. and then delivered
the charge. He explained that the jury con-
sists of not less than sixteen nor more than
twenty-three persons. and every In lictment
or presentment made must have the con-
currence Of at least twelve jurors. He ex-
planned the selection OF a clerk from among
the jurors and then said: The grand jury
ought carefully and dispassionately to ex-
anime into every charge brought before
them. or of which they nave knowledge. n
return an indictment where they think the
evidence ~justiies IT. Care ought to be OBJ
served to indict no person unless the evil
dence, in their judgment. convinces them
that a crime has been committed. and that
the person indicted will probably be found
guilty on a trial before a petit jury. No In
dictment ought TO be found on slight or
trivial evidence. nor where the Jury shall
be OF the opinion that the accusation is
founded on spite. malice or iii will. 1t is no
hence the grand jury should feel a confident
assurance OF the guilt of the accused before
an Indictment is returned"
Judge Baker spoke of the aid which will
be given by the district attorney, but urged
the jury that their deliberations and voting
was to be done alone. Secrecy was inn
pressed upon them and the jurisdiction of
the court was stated to be co-extensive with
the limits of the State. That a crime is tri-
able and made al offense by both federal
and state laws. Is no bar to the prosecution
OF the case by the federal authorities, and
the proceedings will be conducted as though
there was no state law on the subject. The
specific crimes referred to. which the grand
jury viii be called on TO investigate and
which the court considered, were counter
feiting. passing counterfeit money. violation
OF internal revenue laws, violation OF the
war revenue laws. violations of the postal
laws by sending obscene matter through the
defraud, postofice robbery and Violation of
the custom laws. No special instructions
were given and the jury at once retired to
its room. IL is understood that the Nickum
case will be considered to-day.
