INDIANAPOLIS, ind, May 3l.-Mrs.

of intdelity yesterday and when he re-

opened fire on him with a revolver.
The first shot grazed the mark, the
second caught him in the hip and the
third buried itself in his shoulder as
he was running away. Mrs. Eckert
is beautiful young woman who has
been married twice. She is under ar
rest for attempted murder.

THERE was some misunderstood
ing in reference to the price of adj
mission at the ball game on Tues
day that seemed to create a little
dissatisfaction. A number of people
complained because they were asked
to pay ten cents extra for seats. The
seats were free in the morning but
the small fee of ten cents was charg
ed in the afternoon and this was
plainly printed on the tickets so that
any one could see it, This explana-
tion is due Manager Sweeney as it
was desired to have every one un
derstand that this should be the
price and there was no effort nor no
desired to:take advantage Of any one.

AID FOR THE COUNTY HOME.

Reducing the Coffee Allowance Arouses
the Charitably Disposed-County
Commissioners Critcised-GOne to
Take Part in Hoge Memorial Service.
Durham, n. c., Feb. 10 (SpeciaL)-
The Board of County Commissioners
have caught it on all sides for the past
two or three days The two daily news
papers, the Sun and Herald, have had
a good deal to say of the board cutting
the wages of the employees of the coun-
ty. and Of reducing the allowance of
coffee given to the inmates of the cOun-
ty home. The people have sharply criti-
cised the commissioners for these things,
especially on the coffee question.
r. B. Boone, of the well known law
firm Of Boone q Bryant, agrees to fur
nish out of his own pocket a sum suffi-
cient to buy the inmates all the coffee
they may need. W. T. O'Brien has do
mated $50 in cash for the purpose of
supplying the needs of the inmates in
regard to coffee. j. &. Patterson has
given them ten pounds of coffee, and
o. ]. w. Perry and A. p. Faucette car
ried out to the county home thirty-One
pounds of coffee and fifty pounds Of
sugar. Others, we learn, have made or
will make donations.
The chairman of the board of County
Commissioners, in regard to cutting the
coffee allowance, says: "As TO the mat
ter of cutting off the amount Of coffee
allowed the inmates of the county home,
the superintendent was ordered to give
the coffee once a day, except in special
eases where he found it necessary to
give it to them ofteuer The county has
placed cows in the hands of the superin-
tendent for the purpose Of providing the
necessary milk for these unfortunates,
and this, the boards think, healthier and
cheaper than coffee"
We learn. though not from an official
source, that the total expenditure for
coffee for the inmates each month did
not exceed 81.
