A cURCH BURNED.
Woodruff Baptist Church Destroyed
Yesterday Morning.

Fire which is supposed TO have been of
incendiary origin destroyed the Woodruff
Baptist Church early yesterday morning
beyond repair. The flames started in the
rear of the church, under the pulpit, it
was thought, and had made good Roadway
before being discovered. The structure was
frame and burned rapidly and was not got
under control by the firemen before being
almost wholly destroyed. 1t was thought
possible that some boys who had been
playing about the church during the day
and evening before had left lighted cigar
cites which had started the fire, but some
of the members of the church thought the
building had been fired. The estimated loss
was $1,000, and this is covered by insurance
of about Sc, 000 The basement of the church
was used by the Boys Brigade and all its
apparatus was ruined
The church was first established in 1891
as a mission and now has a membership
of 291. The Rev. A. d. Berry is the pastor.
The loss of the church building will not in
terfere with the services except in point
of convenience. A store room near by has
been secured and the meetings will be held
there until a new building can be erected,
which will be done as soon as possible.

ESCAPED FROM HOSPITAL.
George BENNETT, an Inmate, EIuded
the Guard Last Night.

George Bennett. an inmate of the Central
Insane Hospital. escaped between II and 1
o'clock this morning and no clew as TO the
route he took has yet been discovered.
The night watch makes round every half
hour. and II was on the l o'clock round
that Bennett was missed. The guard Is
due at Benefits cell a little before 1, and
he noticed that the bed, which was pre-
viously occupied. was vacant. Bennett
took his best wearing apparel with him.
How he escaped Is unknown. 1t Is sup
posed that he got out of his room and
waited in the corridor until the guard was
at a safe distance. and in such a position
where he could not be seen, and then he
took route that had likely been previously
planned. The other inmates say they know
nothing about the escape. but the guards
think il is possible they helped Bennett to
get away by watching for the guards Ben
nett has tried several times TO escape, and
once by breaking the bars TO his cell. Each
time he was discovered before he had
chance TO get away.
Bennett was brought here from Lafayette
about a year ago and has shown mean dis
position at the hospital. The guards say he
would make a strong fight ii cornered, and
that he may cause considerable trouble
when he is captured. The police were mott
fed by telephone and a watch Is being kept
f0r him

STONE FOR FOUNTAIN GROUP.


The three large stones for the fountain
have arrived and the unloading began yes
terday. The combined weight of the three
stones Is 40 tons, the largest weighing
fifty-five tons. Four quarries refused to
accept the contract for such gigantic stones
but the Parry Matthews Buskirk Company
at Bedford. when asked agreed to furnish
the material according to specifications.
The stones are nearly all Of the same size
and measure about eight by seven by ten
feet.
There was also trouble in getting trans
portation. two railroads refusing to haul
them. They were brought over the Monon
and were eighteen days on the road, going
by way of Chica go. The stones are so
heavy that not a derrick in the quarry
could handle them and they were loaded
by being put on dam and pushed on roll
lers. One stone was placed on car with a
capacity of $4,000 pounds. which was braced
with heavy irons and beams TO hold up
the enormous weight. beam on one of
the cars did break in transportation, but
they all arrived safely. 1t is said this is
the heaviest piece OF freight ever brought
to Indianapolis.
The stones will be taken from the cars
TO the studio of Rudolph Schwartz, but
not on any vehicle. They will be removed
the same way they were loaded, let down
with jack screws on rollers and then trans
ferred I'm the manner Of moving a house.
Schwartz says that about so per cent. OF
the stone will have TO be chisseled away,
but the group will be in position by the
middle OF November.

COUNTY POOR FARM.
Report of Board of Charities After a
Visit to the Institution.

The county Board OF Charities and Cor
rection reported the result of their visit
to the county poor asylum. May %. to the
County Commissioners yesterday. The asy-
lum was found TO be crowded. there being
196 men and 81 women. a total of 263, when
the capacity OF the building is but It's.
This Is due 70 the insane inmates. and the
report says that after they are transferred
to the new hospital the situation will be
relieved. and that IL will then be oppor-
tune time for house-cleaning. II suggests
that there are inmates able to care for
themselves. and that there may be some
who have not a proper claim on Marion
county
The board recommends an early investi-
cation of the physical condition OF the in
mates not insane; that blankets should be
used instead OF comforts. and that two
sheets should always be I'm use. for sani-
tsry reasons that clean clothing should be
provided for inmates that require atten-
ton: that the building be renovated from
basement to attic after the insane inmates
are removed: that the plumbing needs re-
pair 10 prevent bad doors coming from the
basement: that the whole building is in
need of overhauling. and that the steam
plant should be placed outside the building

At GOSPEL TABERNACLE
ANNUAL CONVENTION OF CHRISTIAN
AND MISSIONARY ALLIANCE.
The Meeting VIII Continue for a
Week, with Three Sermons
Each Day.

The annual convention of the Christian
and Missionary Alliance began in the Cos
pei Tabernacle at East street and Mass
achusetts avenue last night. The conven-
ton will last a week. DR.. Eldridge, the
pastor, presided. DR.. Henry Wilson. of
New York, was the first to address the
audience. His subject was Prayer and
he talked especially about its moving
power. First he said, prayer reached God
and moved him to recognize and sympa-
thize with us; second, that prayer reached
the lower region and dispelled the evil one;
third. that prayer reached all the way
around the world, and fourth that it
brought a blessing to us. He put the fourth
thought last, he said, because we generally
ask TO be recognized first. but after the
other three points have been reached, the
blessing will come without being asked for.
DR.. w. L. Meminger, of Chicago. took up
the after part OF the service with his sub
ject, Life Opportunities" He told of the
many opportunities that are let go by
noticed and used various illustrations to
show the result. He said we should always
be looking for the right side. get in the
right way, and that this convention was
starting out right for glorious meeting.
There will be three services each day of
the convention. beginning with to-day.
They will be held in the morning, afternoon
and evening. Among those prominently
identified with the work that will attend
the convention or are already here are Rev.
d. w. lie Lacheur. superintendent of the
mission work in China and general field
superintendent in the United States; Miss
Mullen, a missionary from Africa; A. b.
Simpson. vice president of the National
Association; Mr.. and Mrs. Siple. and Mr..
Barnes, missionary to Japan; the Ohio
quartet, four ministers of the association
who travel and sing; and DR.. Wilson and
DR.. Meminger.
The association has no UNCONVENTIONAL
doctrine and the meetings attended by
those who choose. The principal work of
the association is i'm the missionary field,
particularly in foreign lands, but the home
department is not overlooked. The as
ISOLATION now has about 100 missionaries
in the vicinity where the Boxers" in China
are creating SO much disturbance and there
is considerable feeling among the members
for those in the Monaghan country. Rev.
lie Lacheur was in China a great many
years and is thoroughly acquainted with
the disturbing element in that country. AL
though well advanced in years he says he
will return to China and may go this fall.

THE CARMEL KILLING.
Developments I'm the Johnson-Carey
Tragedy.

No tragedy of recent years in this section
than that at the little town of Carmel FRI
day evening, when Frank Carey, son of
County Commissioner Lemuel Carey, was
shot by Cyclone Johnson, who was in
turn killed by bullets from weapons in the
hands of Careys friends. The matter was
the chief subject OF conversation on the
streets of the city yesterday. as Johnson
was very well known here. Johnson evil
IDENTIFY expected serious trouble, as he was
armed with two revolvers. both of them
loaded.
The early report of the ARRAY was made
before the real condition OF affairs was
known. Johnson had five bullets in his
body. instead of only one. and Carey was
shot twice. 1t was stated at first that
Carey had been killed by Johnson, but the
position Of the bullet holes in Carey's body
gave rise to the supposition that he had
been killed By his friends who were shoot
ing at Johnson. When the shooting began
there was regular volley, and in the ex-
element no one took particular notice of
the sequence of the happenings and the
conditions knowing only that Carey and
others were in danger and that johnson
was using his revolver. The crowd, it was
said, followed the constable and johnson
to the livery stable, and were prepared for
the trouble expected from johnson, who,
it was known. had been to Indianapolis to
procure cartridges. Johnson was found at
his home shortly after his return from this
city, and his wife begged that he be not
taken away, for she knew she would never
see him alive again. Her fears were well
founded, for Johnson had declared to her
that he would use his weapons.
Some fears were expressed yesterday
that there would be further trouble at Car
mel. 1t being supposed that the reputation
of the Kentuckians for avenging the killing
of friends and relatives would lead his two
brothers in Kentucky to visit Carmel for
that purpose.
The citizens of Carmel expressed but lit
tie sympathy for Johnson, but his widow
and their children were the recipients of
many little favors. which showed an ap-
probation of the grief caused by the death
of her husband.
There was much sorrow because of the
death of Carey. who well known
throughout that part of the country and
was very popular Carey was quite we'll
known in this city on account of business
dealings. He was a member of the Jury
in the United States Court when the Scott
and Marion county lynching case was tried.
The bodies of both the dead men were
taken to an undertaker's and prepared for
burial. and then removed to their late
homes.

oUTRAGEs BY BOXERS.


NEW YORK. June 9-The first detailed
ceived by the Presbyterian board to-day in
a letter from Rev. Horace w. Moulding.
Of the South Chilli mission at Lin-Ching,
province of shan-Tung. He quotes letter
to United States Minister Conger by. DR.
Arthur s. Smith, as follows:
There were alarms of an attack on the
village of Ho-Chia-Tun by Boxers from
ChingPing. We addressed letters TO each
of the district magistrates, letting them
know of the matter. The following morn
ing the Boxers appeared at the village I'm a
hundred, of whom perhaps thirty were cav

which they entered and pillaged. but did
less damage than elsewhere, owing to the

would set fire TO others adjoining. The

that this action would be purely military.
and would not constitute joint action from
a political point of view.
The foreign embassies and legations In
Washington are intensely interested in the
developments in China and applications
are frequent at the State Department from
them for the latest news as TO what Is
going on There also is a strong desire on
the part of these diplomats. probably based
on something broader than personal curios-
ity, to learn what are the contentious of
the United States government. 1t appears
that the State Department has dealt frank
ly with such inquiries and has made no
ccncealment of its policy Of noninterfer-
ence beyond a point 10 protect American
life and property. 1t is deemed entirely
proper, however. to move along the same
lines as those followed by European ma
tons toward the accomplishment of this
object, so that while there are no entang-
ling understandings or alliances, all the
substantial results of joint action may be
achieved.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-At the legation
to-day the Chinese diplomats were ex-
tremely reticent regarding the situation in
their native land. If they have received
any advices they are of a confidential ma
ture and Mr.. WI is guarding them care
fully. To newspaper men officials at the
embassy announce that they have received
absolutely nothing which will throw any
light upon the situation. They are them
selves apparently puzzled by some of the
statements in the newspaper reports. For
instance, the report this morning that
there were 100000 of the Boxers created
great surprise. Still they were not in a
position to deny it and one of the secre-
taries, in calling attention to IL, simply
commented But We don't know; we have
nothing" They eagerly inquire for all dis
patches to the press. but have nothing to
exchange in return.
To set at naught published statements
to the effect that Germany is to adopt
more heroic methods than the other powers
in the present crisis in China. Baron Won
Holleben, the German ambassador said to-
day that Germany would, as heretofore,
participate in any joint action of the pow
ers in order to protect the interests of
foreigners in the far East, but that she
would go no further than the other ma
tions in any action taken

New York Sun.

New YORK sun.
We have heard a shrewd observer say
that half the married women in New York
habitually do not have car fare Prob
ably most married men are rather careless
and ignorant than selfish in the matter.
Somehow or other the man usually makes
himself a liberal allowance. We have
heard il said that many men habitually
misrepresent their income, telling their
wives that they make s25 a week for exam
pie. when they are really making $50 or
$35. Thus they are able TO have a con-
siderable sum for their private delectation
without seeming ungenerous TO their
wives
These fellows are sneaks. but the So
called generous man is pretty sure TO be
generous 10 himself. How generous are
the luncheons and the dinners that men
of very moderate means. even clerks on
rather small salaries, are able TO buy
themselves. They cannot resign them
selves 10 cheap cigars. They have been
known 20 ride in cabs, while their wives
are suspending themselves from horse
car straps O nothing is too good for a
man. The dog thinks himself a fine fell
low and prides himself on his liberality
And plenty of men are liberal TO their

are extravaganza But take the matter SO

LANDS AND FARIS HERE
THE Two REPRESENTATIVES, SPEND
A FEW HOURS IN THE CITY.
Both Glad TO Get Back from Washing
ton-what They Sny-Po-
IiticnI Gossip.

Representatives c. B. Lands and George
W. Faris arrived in the city from Wash
ington yesterday. leaving for their respec-
tive homes at Delphi and Terre Haute on
afternoon trains Both are eager TO take
a brief rest after the work Of Congress.
Mr. Faris says he expects TO do all he can
toward electing Holiday, the candidate for
representative in the Fifth district, and
Mr.. Lands expects to be pretty busy in
the Ninth district as soon as the campaign
opens
ct am told" he said, that Democratic
newspaper has stated that 1 practically
conceded my own defeat in the Ninth dis
trict Such statement is not only ridicu-
Ious. but absurd. 1 have not the slightest
doubt Of my reelection. No man can be
nominated by the Democrats who will poll
the votes Mr.. Cheadle received in 1896.
There was complete fusion. and Mr.. Chea-
die came within 249 votes of the goal. The
next time fusion was not so complete and
ne lost by 1.099. Mr.. Cheadle does not care
for the race again, and all the elements
cannot come as near getting together on
any candidate they did on Mr.. Cheadle."
Mr.. Lands says there Is but one senti-
mcnt among Republicans in Washington in
relation to the Cuban frauds, and that is
that Nicely and those who are guilty with
him should be dealt with promptly. He
says that people feel that Nicely should be
punished. even If it is necessary to suspend
the Constitution in order TO get at him.
Representative Faris feels assured that
Mr. Holiday will be able to carry Clay
county-a Democratic strongbold-for Con-
gress. IF the county will do what know
II is capable Of doing" he said. 81 am sure
Mr.. Holiday will be elected. admire him
greatly and am sure he will represent the
district well. In our district 1 suppose
there were five hundred young men who
enlisted for the war with Spain. / suppose
one hundred or more of them are now in
the Philippines. 1 believe that all OF these
young men who are able to cast a vote for
Mr. Holiday will do IL. and those who can
not get home TO vote will certainly use
their influence for him"
Mr.. Faris will not be surprised IL Theo-
dore Roosevelt is made the nominee for
Vice President. "A remark heard prom
inent Republican make in Washington a
few days ago." said Mr.. Faris, indicated
TO me that Mr.. Roosevelts nomination may
be looked for--at least. IL is one of the pos
sibilities. If he is nominated am reason
ably confident he will consent to make
the race"
