CORPORAL NEWMAN'S WOUND
Causing Him TrOubIe-Friends Secure
Him n Discharge.

Corporal II. E. Newman, the Boone coun-
ty boy, who has the distinction of having
captured the first Spanish flag in the SAINT
iago engagement, has received an honorable
discharge from the service. In the battle
of Santiago Corporal Newman was shot
through the breast, and after the surrender
of Santiago he was sent home to a hospital,
and on his being discharged from that place
he was given a thirty-day furlough. His
wound failed to heal as rapidly as he had
hoped, and when he reported for duty at
Fort Brooke it gave him considerable trou-
BILE. Within the last few weeks his wound
has been getting worse, but still he has
refused to take the advice Of his friends and
go to the hospital. Recently his regiment
received orders TO prepare to go to Manila.
When this became known ne wrote home
to a cousin that he did not believe he could
stand the trip there, and asked that the
request for his discharge from the service
be placed in the hands of the proper au-
thority. The matter was referred to S. r.
Altman, Of Lebanon, who wrote to Gov
ernor Mount and to Senator Fairbanks.
Governor Mount helped secure the discharge
and Corporal Newman is expected home
soon. The friends of the corporal are APP
prehensive that this wound may yet prove
serious

AT THE LIGHT ARr1ILERY.
Christmas and New Years Day Com
hined in One.

The Indianapolis Light Artillery combined
it's Christmas festivities with it's New Year
celebration, and last night the members
enjoyed themselves immensely at the ar
mory on North Senate avenue. There was
much jovial entertainment a Christmas tree
being one of the features. The tree large
and graceful cedar, stood in the assembly
room. 1t was brightly lit with candles and
was loaded with toys of every description
A committee had been appointed to pur-
chase the gifts, and the committee did its
work so well that nearly every present
handed from the tree brought forth roars
OF laughter from the boys. All of the menu
bers of the battery who had performed the
work of drivers in Porto Rico were pre-
sented with dainty little whips No one
was overlooked, but all came in for a share
of the fun. During the progress Of the
festivities a large kettle of beans, steam
ing hot was brought III and the artillery
men once again dned on army rations.
The battery received a New Years gift
in the shape of a fine set of photographs,
which had been taken at Camp Mount while
the battery was in camp there. The gift
came from William Garstang, of the Big
-Four Railroad Company.

POLICE NATIONS WORK.
What They Have Done During the
Past Year.

The annual report of Matrons Gregoire and
Reisner. of the police station, is about ready.
1t shows that they cared for l. 361 prisoners
during the year. OF this number 347 we're
under twenty years old, thirty-four under
five years, fifty-one were under ten years
and eighty were under fifteen years. Two
murderesses were confined in the female
demartment, 344 immoral women, 129 drunk
en- women, SIS women for keeping immoral
houses, 90 women for petty larceny, ia for
assault and battery, 80 lost children were
sheltered and IA incorrigibles were impris-
oned. Sixty-two of all the prisoners were
returned to their homes and friends, four
teen were sent to the Insane Hospital. OF
the whole number fifty-two were foreigners
and 1909 were born in this country. Nine
hundred and fifty were white and All coll
ored. The increase in the number Of pris-
oners received by the matrons last year
over the number the year before is GIL Mrs.
Gregoire said yesterday that she was glad
to see the large increase because she knew
that the women who had strayed from the
right were being gathered in by the police
and put into the care, for time at least,
of women who were determined to help the
unfortunates seek TO lead better lives.
Superintendent Quigley has many times
expressed entire satisfaction with the work
of Matrons Reisner and Gregoire and has
been glad to tell inquirers that he did not
believe il probable that better women for
the work could be found. They have always
been ready, those who are interested in
women whom they can persuade to try to
reform.

RlSKED HIS LIFE FOR OTHERS.
Stationary Engineer Who Played the
Part of "A Hero in a Factory.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. At is not often
that it falls to a stationary engineer 10
pay the part of a hero. but that is what
happened to Lee Chalfant substitute engi-
neer at Wolff Bros. s shoe factory to-day.
Though badly scalded he leaped through
binding clouds Of steam, raked the fires
from under the boilers and prevented an
explosion that jeopardzed the lives of five
hundred employees in the building. The reg
ular engineer of the pant is III and Chal-
FAINT was working as n substitute This
morning he noticed there was too much
water IN the boiler and so opened a valve
to let some of il out. Then he went around
IN front TO watch the gauge while the water
ran into the well He soon saw that the
water was going out too fast and that
Jet Of steam was escaping with great force.
In trying to shut IL off he was badly
scaIded hut in spite OF the pain he thought
only Of the horrible consequence Of an ex-
plosi0n. There was but one thing to do and
that was done quickly. He sprang 70 the
furnace and began raking out the fire. The
boiler cooled down and the danger point
was passed. Then Chalfant gave the alarm.
He was taken TO his home, where he lies
n a precarious condition, but with prospects
for recovery.

BOGUS S. GOLD COINS
TWO DIFFERENT COUNTERFETTS
PASSED IN CITY YESTERDAY.
One Appeared a Week AgO-TWO
Gangs Supposed to Be
at Work.
Probably two gangs of counterfeiters were

Probably two gangs of counterfeiters were
at work in Indianapolis yesterday, and at
least two counterfeit S. gold pieces were
passed. One was given to Jewish clothing
merchant on South Illinois street, while a
poorer imitation palmed off on a street
car conductor. AS no complaint has yet
been made to the police, it is not known how
many more spurious coins have been handed
out to the people in this city. There was a
wide difference in the appearance of the two
coins, which leads to the opinion that they
were not the work of one gang. The one
given to the conductor was considerably
thinner than the genuine article, and the
face was badly clustered" and indented.
The reverse side, however, was good and
the lines cIear-cut throughout. The milling
on both cOunterfets was almost perfect and
showed plainly that it had been done after
they had been taken from the molds. The
coin given to the clothing merchant was al
most perfect in appearance and would tend
TO deceive most people. In size shape and
general appearance all it's features were
good. 1t was somewhat light in weight, but
that detail would not generally prove a
factor in ITS being detected by the average
man. Tne peculiar ring generally found in
gold coins was also lacking in both counter
fetts, but the lack of this also is not taken
as an infallible indication that a coin is
spurious, as many split coins are an
nually taken in at the treasury as counter
felt because they do not ring, when in
reality they are the genuine article. So good
the counterfeit taken by the clothing
merchant that before its spuriOusness was
established it was necessary to bore into it,
When this was done, however. it was seen
that heavy gold plating had been given to
a base composition much poorer than is
usually used in counterfeit silver dollars
1t is felt that the two coins must have been
the work Of more than one gang in view of
the wide difference in their appearance. No
trace of the people who passed the coins has
been found nor has it been possible for the
officers to secure any serviceable description
of them.
A week ago another of these counterfeit
coins was passed on a West Washington
street merchant
