~HAlR-PULLING MATCH.
Six state Cases Occupy n Attention
OF Justice Smock.
10 EAST WASHINGTON STREET.

Six State cases occupied the time Of JUS
t'ce Smock yesterday. Mary Hiles, jr., filed
charges Of assault and battery against
Timothy O'Reilly. Mary O'Reilly and Mary
Hiles, ST., each OF whom filed charges OF
assault and battery against Mary Hiles,
Jr. Timothy O'ReiiIy and his wife
were each fined 81 and costs. Mary
Hiles, jr.. was fined 81 and costs on one
charge. Besides administering the fines
Justice smock gave each of them a strong
moral lecture which he thinks will be
productive Of much good.
The suits grew out Of a charge of assault
and battery filed about a week ago by Mary
HiIes. ST.. against Mary O'Reilly, which
was occasioned by Mary Hiles, sr., cutting
a clothes line on which Mary O'ReilIy had
hung a lot of clothes 10 dry, letting them
down into the dirt. The clothes were taken
IN, washed again and hung out the next
day. when the cutting process was repeated.
Mary Hiles claimed she had warned Mrs.
O'Reilly not to hang her wash where she
did for the reason that IL INSTRUCTED. her
view or the street. Member Of the family
mixed in a free-for-all light and the filming
or Mrs O'Reilly is said TO have been the
motive for the other charges Mary Hiles,
sr.. caused much merriment I'm the court
by the snap and vigor OF her estimony
IN referring 10 the time she had hold OF
Mary Hiles, tr.'s hair, she said: I'D been
willing to lost my little wool IL I'D got
hers. Shed never needed a hair dresser
any more" Mary Hiles. jr., was so badly
injured by being beaten on the head with
a rock that a doctors attention was neces-
sary. and the evidences TO the assault were
yet plainly seen yesterday.

HEARD AT THE HOTELS
JACOB f. HART, OF vEvAY, TALKS
OF SOME NEW COAL FIELDS.
Ia MOnon Road, He Thinks, Is Buy
Ing Options on the Coal Lanjs-PO-
IiticaI and ether Gossip.

Jacob E. Hart, a ~well-know Democratic
politician and contractor of Vevay, Swift
erland county, is at the Grand Hotel resting
after some hard work in the Sullivan coun-
~ coal fields, where, he says, the Chicago,
indianapolis & Louisville Railway is buy
ing up options on coal lands in great num-
bers. with the expectation, it is said, of
tapping the northern part of Sullivan
ty, where there is known to be immense
coal deposits.
He says the purchasing Is done by men
who disclaim any connection with the rail-
road, but by people who have probed the
matter in their own interests it is given
out that there is no doubt that the Monon
road intends to tap the country with a new
branch and also work the coal deposits in
an extensive manner as a side enterprise.
Mr.. Hart said that, of late, nearly all the
options had been taken In Jackson and
Hamilton townships. He said great things
were expected of John r. Walsh's %rejuve-
mated Indiana Southern road, which has
tapped this same territory and which is
now practically completed to within a few
miles of Terre Haute
Mr.. Hart ntimate that as soon as the
stimate and specifications for the new In
dianapolis Southern road are completed, he
will bid on the grading Of the entire road.

STORY OF A GOLD PIECE.
Counterfeit GOId Coin Has an Event
full Experience Here.

The aid of the secret service Of the
United States government and the COM
bined opinion of two national banks OF
the city was required yesterday to deter
mine the spuriousness OF a $50 gold piece
which for two weeks has been handed
around among several people. The piece
first attracted attention when Harry Crone,
n bartender at Delaware and Wabash
streets, took II in payment for some drinks.
He noticed its peculiar color and taking a
closer look and seeing its date, 1910, i'm
agined hat it was one Of those rare Cali
fornia gold pieces on which there is a
premium paid by numismatic banks
throughout the country.
Not caring 10 overlook such a chance,
he put it in his pocket and put $3.50 of
his own money in the cash register in its
place.
He then sent away for several catalogues
giving the lists of coins on which there
was a premium, but, as he did not find
his coin among them, he gave ii TO II. E.
thinner. a druggist. The
occasion TO visit the Flower Mission fair,
he handed II out in payment for his lunch
posited the coin, along with the other re-
ceipts. in the Merchants National Bank,
where il was thrown out as counterfeit. On
being taken back TO Tomlinson Hall the
woman who received il emembered who
gave IL 10 her and in the course Of time
Mr.. thinner once more had IL in his pos
session. He, to satisfy himself OF it's geuine-
ness, took it TO the Fletcher National Bank
where Ii was again pronounced TO be spur
ious. He then called on Mr.. Crone. who took
IL back. To satisfy himself that IL was
either good or bad Crone went 10 Zimmer's
drug store and bought a quantity of nitric
acid with which TO test il. The rest is easily
told. He applied the acid to the alleged
gold piece and most OF the yellow metal
went up. in smoke. 1t was Ill brass and
CrOne was out s. cents. in addition 10 the
good money he put I'm the cash register in
place OF the spurious coin.

CONDITIONS In ALASKA
Are Described by A. w. Hartman, Who
Recently Returned.

Mr.. A. W. Hartman recently returned TO
this city after a sojourn of two years in the
Alaskan gold fields. While there he en-
joyed good health, especially in the interior
Of Alaska. The only discomfort he suffered
was in having his nose frozen upon one or
more occasions MIR. Hartman, accompanied
By Walter Hunter, left this city in the
spring Of 1895. They reached Dawson City
over the Chilcoot Pass and were in that
vicinity when the great snowslide occurred.
Mr.. Hartman says seventy-three men lost
their lives, and possibly a few more. The
snowslide occurred on April 5, 1895. He says
at least $500 people %journeyed to Dawson
in the great rush of two years ago. and to
his certain knowledge over 1000 small boats
were built and used on the chain of lakes
in reaching the Edorado. Like thousands
of others, when Mr.. Hartman reached Daw-
son he found that al ne surrounding coun-
try had been prospected and few, II any,
valuable claims were left for the newcom-
ers. The gold cleanup for the past year he
estimates at 100000, a much smaller figure
than that named in most reports.

scribed Dawson City as a town of twenty
thousand people. including the outlying pop
ulation. When he left there. June II, 1859.

While Mr.. Hartman hasn't much love for

VERY CLEVER PEOPLE
Are Seen Mt EneIish's in n Very Poor
Farce.

Messrs. Boniface and Ober, who, with a
clever company, appeared at English's
Opera House yesterday afternoon and last
evening in Dear Old Charley" came near
to accomplishing the difficult feat of max
ing a silken purse out of>a sow's ear"
There is scant material in Dear Old
Charley to satisfy a good healthy desire
TO enjoy a real live farce, but in the hands
of Bonifce and his talented cOadjutors 1t
was almost worked up into what the bills
announced as "a satisfactory farce"
Without firing himself by any unusual eX-
%ertions, George Boniface is funny-so funny
that his recognition by the audience
amounted to an ovation. AT the close Of
the second act he was recalled a number of
times, but steadfastly refused to yield to
the evident wish for a speech. Geo. Ober's
imp~ersonation of DR.. Theophilus Yates
was a trifle difficult to appreciate at first,
but is was not long until he had his audi
ence entirely with him. Mr.. John Hyams,
as Sylvester Witherspoon, the blind guest
at the summer resort, did not throw the
audience into commissions Of laughter by
his comedy work. but when his lines called
for a song, and his clear tenor voice rose
and fell in the beautiful negro love ditty,
My Lady Lu," the long-delayed applause
came in abundance. Bertha Waltzinger re-
ceived even more generous treatment at
the hands of the designer of the entertain
ment. Her part affords opportunities for
the display of her remarkable vocal pOwers,
and, in addition, an exceedingly attractive
form clad in purple tights. She took the
role Of Phoebe, wife OF one Of the heroes,
who had at one time been an actress, play
ing Hamlet among other characters. Miss
Waltzinger possesses a soprano voice of
great range and sympathetic ~clearness.
After she had sung one verse of If L Had
You her position in the estimation OF the
audience was assured. Encore followed en-
core, until the voice threatened to break
down beneath the strain upon IL. The fate
of the piece is entirely in the hands of the
company, no attempt at scenic effect being
made. Each of the three acts takes place
in the reception room Of a Saratoga hotel,
and TO put this on, house scenery exclu-
that Dear Old Charley suffered something
of a cut" but the part that remained
proved sufficient.

FROM YOKOHAMA, JAPAN.
+. n. Horn Talks of Manufacturing in
that Ountry

T. N. Horn, of Yokohama. Japan, was
at the Bates yesterday. He said Japan was
sharing in the general prosperity and was
finding a greater market each year for her
goods, most Of which have heretofore been
in the shape of novelties, however. OF late,
he says, japanese manufactures have taken
a turn toward the serious and the result
is that the country is becoming more and
more a factor in the of the world,
so much SO that it is expected that within
a few years Japanese manufacturers Will
be able to compete with the world in all
lines Of goods, from battleships to sewing
machines.
He says that while there is little that
is original in the japanese mind, the work
men of the country are the greatest imita-
tors in the world and need but to have a
thing set before them and the tools placed
in their hands to enable them to be experts
i'm any line.

Future of a Railroad.

Ex-State Auditor A. C. Daily, Of Lebanon.
was in the city yesterday and reported that
Harry Crawford's railroad, the Chicago &
Southeastern. is preparing to move its shops
and general offices from Lebanon to Mum
Gle. and he predicts that, In spite of the
fact that the road has been practically in
solvent for years, the removal will be a
serious loss to the town.. He said that the
road was just now entering on a period of
unusual prosperity, particularly in the way
Of coal traffic. He says general opinion is
that with the Muncie extension completed
and in running order, the road will be one
OF the greatest coal carrying lines in the
State, particularly when the natural gas
gives out for manufacturing PURPOSES.

New Eight-CIub League.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Nov. "a new
baseball league of eight clubs will be formed

Of c. B. Powers as president of the Inter-
