DAVIS TURNED loose
Case in the District Court Against
Him Is Dismissed by the
State.
Conflicting Nature Of the Evidence
Is the Cause The Side
Issue.
Davis Alleged Victims Suit to Re.
cover His Money Taken
from the Jury.

Davis. the man who has been in Jail
awaiting trial under an indictment
charging embezzlement, was turned
loose Saturday night, on motion OF
County Attorney Stone, and the action
against him was dismissed.
The action was taken as the result OF
the civil suit brought by Michael Con-
nors against the proprietress of the
Wilson Hotel to recover the 500 which
he alleges he placed in Davis hands for
safe keeping on the presumption that
the latter was night clerk of the
hosiery. County Attorney Stone
listened to the evidence in this case.
which was very conflicting all the way
through. and after advising with Judge
Burnham and deciding that the state
could not convict Davis under the
charge upon which he was indicted he
dismissed the case. The evidence in
the civil suit failed to show conclusive
ly that Davis was in the employ of the
hotel people, which would be necessary
in order to make the charge of embez-
element stick.
This morning Judge Burnham sus-
tanned motion made to take the civil
action brought by Connors from the
jury's hands, and he ordered verdict
for the defendants The point vigor-
ously disputed was as to whether
Davis was acting as clerk with author
ity from the hotel proprietress, and
Judge Burnham evidently concluded
that this was not shown, thereby re-
llieving her of all responsibility for the
theft of Connors money.

Wine That 4. Never Sold.

The most costly and precious wire in
the world is that contained in a cask
named the Rose. in the Bremen town hall
cellars This Rudesheim, of the vintage
of the year 1858. is of the color of old ale
and has wonderful aroma. 1t is never
sold. but is used exclusively for the sick
of Bremen, the only exceptions having
been when small bottle was presented
to Emperor William l, another to Fred
erck III and one to Prince Bismarck
The supposed money value of this wine
is something beyond credence. but. as it
is never sold. this detail is of slight i'm
portance. Old as it is. it is improbable
that any but connoisseurs could get it
down, as the taste is something terrific.

ADJUSTMENTS.
THAT Piano Act in "Friends."

There has been so much speculation as to
just how Mr. Patton plays the piano in the
musical scene of Friends at the Grand
that it has been determined this evening, the
closing night of the engagement, to turn the
piano around and show the audience just
how It is accomplished. Mr.. Patton is not
a musician, but the arrangement of the
piano is 50 clever that the illusion is per-
fectly carried out and he appears to be ex-
ecuting a brilliant selection. All sorts of
theories have been advanced by people in
the audience this week, who know that Mr..
Patton does not play. Some think d double
piano arrangement is used, one out of sight
of the audience on which some musician is
performing. while Mr.. Patton as karje goes
through the motions. Others imagine that
It is an electric piano and there are various
other suggestions. The mystery will be
cleared away, however, when the scene is
shown tonight and the audience will be in
itiated into what is undoubtedly one of the
best illusions ever introduced in a drama.
Up to this time Mr. Patton has refused to
respond to the thunderouS encores he has
received, bat tonight he will play as long
as the audience demands. There will be
much interest in watching the scene when
the plano is turned around and all karJeS
motions plainly shown.

ELWOOD, Ind. Jan. Pow. F. Wilcox,
of this city. has had his pension of 81
month cut off because of a trick he played
a comrade in the army thirty years ago.
During the war Wilcox was a comrade of
an Ohio soldier, who had a sweetheart at
Lima. While at home on furlough Will
cox met the young woman and fell in love
with her. He convinced her that the letters
she had received from his comrade at the
front were forgeries. AS result he "cut
out" his comrade and gained the girl for
himself. 1t afterwards came out that the
letters written from the front were genuine,
but had been written by the captain of the
company, at the request of the soldier lover,
who himself was a poor scribe. This story
of treachery to a comrade at the front has
Just reached the Pension Department. Not
long ago Wilcox applied for an increase of
pension and named the man he had cruelty
wronged as witness for him. This was too
much for the old army comrade and ne ex-
plained the whole affair to the Pension De-
partment. 1t has not only resulted in no
increased pension for Wilcox, but his origi-
nal stipend has been cut off.

PANIC CAUSED BY FIRE.

CINCINNATI, o.. Jan. 2O.-There was a
hotel fire with sensational escapes here be-
tween 3 and o'clock This morning. The
Sherwood House, on the east side of Wal
nut. above Sixth street, took fire, probably
from an overheated furnace, and in a very
brief time the house was so filled with
smoke as to endanger the lives of the sixty
or more sleeping guests. Many of the guests
were members of theatrical companies. Very
soon the upper corridors were filled with
shrieking, hystercal women in night robes.
The male guests had difficulty in restrain
ing the women from jumping from the win
dows. The tiremen were active in carrying
out the women, and most of them were
rescued by the stairway, but several were
taken down by ladders and the fire escape.
