Y. NJ. c. A. OPENING NUMBER.
S~aIisbury's Orchestra and SO1Oists At
tract a rOwded House.

Mr.. Len II. Salisbury, conductor of the
Salisbury Orchestra, and his musicians and
Abby Rose Wood, ~soloist, were greeted by
a crowded house at TOmlinson Hall last
night, when they made their initial appear
ance before an Indianapolis audience. The
concert was the first of the popular Y. NJ.
c. A. winter entertainments, and the large
crowd manifested its appreciation of the
efforts of the Y. VI. c. A. management to
secure good attractions. and also the eff
forts of Mr.. Salisbury and his group of
musicians.
The programme was we'll arranged, and
classical and topical music were intermin-
gled in a manner TO please the most fastid-
ious. The programme was lengthy. and
with the encores to which Mr.. Salisbury
and Miss Wood were forced to respond il
was late before the music-loving crowd
was dismissed from the hall. The orches-
trail numbers were better received than the
songs of Miss Wood. She possesses a sweet
soprano voice of great range, but not of a
volume suitable to such a large hall. Her
first number, Elaine" by Wander Water.
was we'll received. but did not meet with
the appreciation of a catchy little popular
song she sang as an encore. The two little
doll songs sung by her were pleasing, and
gave her an opportunity TO display the
sweetness of her voice.
The feature of the orchestral programme
was the overture William Tell" the sec
ond on the programme. 1t was PLAYED
with wonderful expression, the chase. the
finale of the overture, being so realistic
that one could almost imagine he was in
the midst of a hunters chase after game.
This was followe by a Southern rag-time
piece. in which the trombone soloist added
interest to the music. The descriptive fam

part OF the programme.

with a reading by Katherine Eggleston.

TWO MEETINGS HELD.
Preparing RemOnstrances Against In
di~anapOIis SOuthern-Mass Meeting.

d~ianapOlis SOuthern-Mass Meeting.
The agitation which has been aroused
among citizens of the South Side against
the entrance of the Indianapolis Southern
Railroad by the Pogue's run route will re-
suit, probably, in a big mass-meeting of
residents of that locality some evening
this week. The demonstrators from the
Fifteenth and Eleventh wards have re-
ceived strong encouragement from other
parts of the South Side and it is believed
that a mass-meeting of those inimical to
the entrance of the road by the proposed
route would have considerable weight in
influencing the decision of the Board of
Works. The Rev. Francis H.. Gavisk, who
is a leader in the fight against the granting
of a franchise covering the route asked
Tor, stated last night that the meeting
would be called. The place has not been
chosen.
A melting of demonstrators from the
Fifteenth war was held last night in the
grocery of jeremiah Costello, at Capitol
avenue and McCarty streets. So many at
tended that the storeroom was crowded

were distributed to MEMBERS of a com
mittee of twenty-five who were appointed
TO secure signatures to the remOnStrance.
The ward was divided into blocks, each
HleulDeI Oh TIE committee D6lnB RESPONSE
bic for securing the signatures of residents
Of his block. The question was discussed by
several speakers and the ACCESSIBILITY of a
mass-meeting at which the whole South
Side might be stirred up against the fran
chise which the road asks was strongly
urged.
The meeting of the Eleventh war re-
monstrators was held in John Shea's gro
Gerry, at 33S South street. The same plan
of securing signatures TO the printed re-
Dionstrances was adopted. A general dis
cusslOn OF the damage which ii is be-
lieved the entrance OF the indianapolis
Southern by POgue'S run would bring upon
the South Side was led by Thomas Harold,
John Agnew and others.
With the assurance of help received by
the committees appointed it is believed by
the demonstrators that more signatures
TO the remOnstranCe will be secured than
were appended TO the old remonstrance
The feeling against the road is said TO be
increasing on the South Side and when the
time comes for a rehearing of the ques-
ton the demonstrators believe that the
board cannot afford to pass them by.

FIRE ON TOPEKA AVENUE
Old Bethany College Building
Damaged by Flames.

Shortly after noon today fire was dis
covered on the roof of the old Bethany
college building between Eighth avenue
and Ninth street on Topeka avenue now
used for the Kansas Theological school.
Much excitement was aroused by this
fire owing to it's location. A crowd of
from 200 to 300 gathered in a few min
utes.
The fire department made quick run,
but by the time the first hose wagon
reached the building, the whole of the
roof of the north wing was in flames It
soon spread to the roof connecting the
north and south wings
But short time after the chemical
engine arrived and the stream was be-
ing played on the flames two lines of
hose were laid and the flames soon ex-
tinguished. The roof was completely
demolished, the firemen having to chop
through to get at the flames on the in
side of the garnet. The damage to the
building is slight
