CITIZENS ALARMED.
A Strong Smell of Gas II Noticeable
Along Senate Avenue.

Many citizens living on Senate avenue,
between Washington street and Sixteenth
street, were greatly alarmed last night be-
cause of the strong smell Of gas around
their homes The odor was so strong that
every one noticed 1t and report was start
a leak
The police were first advised of the mat
ter aud the gas companies were asked to
investigate. Their inspectors, after what
they claim was q careful investigation, re-
ported that the gas was from the Senate
avenue sewer and that no natural gas was
perceptible
One Of them said: There is no doubt
that the smell comes from sewer gas. 1t Is
however, very much like artificial gas.
understand the sewer Is being flushed or
cleaned out. The same thing happened sew
that natural gas was escaping. Every time
the sewers are cleaned or flushed we have
the same complaints"
a man interested in the matter visited
about fifty homes on Senate avenue last
night. and though all of the families had
noticed the gas. which was particularly Of
fensive. none of them had noticed gas in
their homes. Most of those visited thought
the gas was natural gas. To many there
was an odor similar 10 that OF crude petrole-

the Improvement or repair of the Senate
avenue sewer, said no improvements, re-
pairs or flushing OF the sewer was going
on. He referred to the time about a year
ago, when similar complaints were made,
and said the trouble was traced to the turn

the factories near Washington street

Word comes from Louisville that the high
school boys are working like beavers for
their game with their indianapolis rivals
tomorrow. Their victory last Saturday has
put more enthusiasm into the work, and
every afternoon the practice grounds are
literally covered with the knights of the
pigskin," as many as four elevens some
times being on hand. There are three regu-
lar teams at the school, and these give the
big team all of the practice 1t needs.
The coach Is putting the men through
several new plays which they will use
against the Hoosiers, and they confidently
expect to repeat their performance of last
Saturday. The boys will also use their
mass plays. which they worked TO such ad,
vantage in the previous contest. A good
deal of practice In punting and drop kick
ing has been INDUCED in. and the Louis
vile boys expect TO utilize their own kick
ing ability to Offset the fine work of Capt:
Coffin, and II the indianapolis boys hold
stronger than they did last Saturday. the
game will probably develop into kicking
contest. A party of the students organized
into rooters club will accompany the
team to Indianapolis to cheer and encour-
age their favorites.

FIRST OF THE CONCERTS
TO BE GIVEN At THE GERMAN HOUSE
THIS FALL AND WINTER.
I'm Several Particulars 1t Was Salts
factory to the Audience-Other
Musical Affairs.

The season of concerts at the German
House was inaugurated last evening, and
every seat in the auditorium was filled and
many persons stood part of the time. In
several particulars it was the most salts
factory concert the German Club and
Musical Society have given. One was that
the conductor, Professor Ernestinoff raised
his baton at SIS; the second was that there
were only eight numbers on the programme,
and none of them was long; and the third
was that. being short, the selections were
better given.
If one criticism of the essentials might be
made it would be that the text of the vo-
cal numbers were all printed in German and
there was not a word Of English. large
part of the audience is not familiar with
German. and consequently great part of
the beauty Of the compositions was abso-
lutely lost.
The vocal part of the programme was
vastly superior to the instrumental. Both
the Revenge of the Flowers" and the last
number. ION the Sea-" by the mixed chorus,
were exceedingly well sung. The voices
were we'll balanced and harmonized, and the
crescendo passages were evenly executed. A
beautiful effect was gained in the final cho-
rus. 1t represents men crossing the sea
who hear the voices of the nuns in the con-
vent gardens. The two sing alternately,
and finally blend into single chorus. The
male chorus scored a success in two little
songs. a Lombardy serenade and Red
haired is My Sweetheart" possible classic
of THE Girl with the Auburn Hair" Both
songs are light In vein. and they were given
with a freedom and spirit that awakened a
responsive interest. The men were vocifer-
ously recalled and sang the last verse of
the second Song. The enunciatiOn was par
ticularly distinct and was pleasing feat
ure.
Mrs. Walter Fugate, who was to have
been the only soloist of the concert was
suddenly indisposed and her place could not
be filed
The orchestra opened with the overture to
The Huguenots' and later played "Ophe.
lia," by MacDowell. As played 1t was not
in, and the introduction to the third act
of ".Lohengrin'' were fairly we'll played.
though a preponderance of brasses in the
latter almost drowned out any effect the
lighter instruments might have had. The
instIumentaliStS cannot do as good work as
the vocalists unless they have about twice
a many rehearsals. What they have done
has been creditable, considering the number

Following the concert the seats were re-
moved and there was dance that continued
TO late hour.

BLIND GIRLS. GUARDIAN
PROBATE COMMISSIONER WALKER
INVESTIGATES THE CASE.
He Finds that n Woman Had Been Tn
Justly Accused-Higher Court De-
cisions-DamaGe Suits.

Probate Commissioner Walker yesterday
discharged the guardian of Bertha Smith,
blind girl, and ordered the girl sent home
to her father in Virginia. Mary j. Zwissler
has been the girls guardian. She was ap-
pointed in order that the young woman
might have some one to look after her
while she attended the Institute for the
Blind. Mrs. Zwissler lives at No. SIG Fort
Wayne avenue and the girl has been living
there with her. A few days ago complaint
was made to the probate commissioner by
some Of the girls relatives that she was
not attending school,
Commissioner Walker had talk with the
superintendent of the institute and from
him learned that the girl would not be per-
mitted to come to school as long as she
lived with Mrs. Zwissler. The probate
commissioner then began to investigate
Mrs. Zwissler's reputation. He learned
enough to lead him to believe that the
woman had been upjustly criticised and
that whatever misconduct went on about
her house was in her absence and she
knew nothing of il. However, the COM
missioner decided to vacate the guardian
ship and send the girl home TO her father
