FAIRVIEW'S DAY CROWD.
ID Heard the Music and Wan
dered AimIessIy About.

The crowd at Fairview Park went early
and stayed late. AS early as Z o'clock the
Fairview cars were carrying families with
big dinner baskets TO the park. A few hours
later the cars were crowded with others
going to spend the day and equally pre-
pared to satisfy appetites sharpened by the
country air. The bulk of the crowd went
TO the park between the hours of 10 in the
morning and 2 in the afternoon. Then there
was an interval of about two hours when
the cars were not crowded. Before . o'clock
began TO pour into the park for the
night concert and fireworks, while few that
were already there left. 1t is estimated
during the day that 5000 or 5000 persons
were on the grounds
There was no special form of entertain
ment during the day except the band con-
cert. This attracted hundreds about the
band stand and many remained throughout
the entire afternoon listening to the music.
The merry-go-round, always a popular at
traction, was another center of amusement
and the ponies and donkeys were ridden
around their track in the hot sun by chill
dren, who were not afraid of exposure.
Many sought the cooling pleasure of boat
ing. but the majority of the crowd was
languid and preferred TO lounge on the
grass or benches. There were all of the
characteristics present that usually signal
ize such a crowd. A young man who had
captured a mole won admiring glances
from hundreds as he paraded through the
park with the little animal dangling from
the end of a string.
TIL preparation people made to spend the
day at the park perhaps exceeded that of
any other day. Many took along enough
provisions to do for dinner and supper and
then had some leTt TO reward mischievous
boys who ransacked their baskets. Be
tween 200 and 800 baskets and boxes with
lunch were checked in the checkroom. but
people generally carried their baskets with
them. The fact that there was no special
amusement caused the crowd to move rest
lessly about from time to time. AT one
-v-,.1l - - 4hA Af1- l.,
the park and again all would be in the
lower part near the canal. Two or three
successful leaders would break away from
the crowd and the rest generally followed
like so many sheep, wandering aimlessly
where they were led without asking ques-
tons. The booming of torpedoes and fire
crackers was not up TO the standard FOX a
Fourth of July and the day was compare
lively quiet.

FRANCIS B. WHEATON HERE.
His Visit Made i'm Connection with
New Federal Building.

A. A. Young, surveyor OF the port and
custodian of the site OF the new federal
building, received a visit yesterday from
Francis B. Wheaton, assistant chief of the
United States engineering and draughting
division of the supervising architects Of
flee at Washington. Mr.. Wheaton was or
dered here to look over the site of the new
government building and make report as to
the best way to set about removing the
buildings that now stand on Square SO.
Some of these buildings are understood to
be worth more than it will cost to tear
'them away. and the government officials,
with their usual eye TO thrift. propose to
take this fact into consideration in letting
the contract for the demolition of the
structures. Offers tor several of the build
iEgs have already been received by Custo-
dian Young.
A movement is on foot 10 secure permits
sion for the churches on the site TO stand
the new postoffice and custom house. The
structures on the Ohio-Street side of
Square SO will. ii is said, be allowed 10 stand
until the new building is finished. Leases
on all the rest of the buildings expire Sept.
l Work on the postofSce is expected to
commence next January. Mr.. Wheaton eX-
pressed himself yesterday as highly pleased
with the site chosen for the new building.
He said University Park will go far TO en-
nance the beauty of the structure. Con-
corning the kind of material to be used in
the big edifce. Mr.. Wheaton said that In
diana oolitic limestone would undoubtedly
make a much more handsome building, but
granite would produce a structure Of great
er durability. "As to what kind Of material
will be used, however. he said, Il have no
definite knowledge" Mr.. Wheaton will pre-
pare a complete set of Specifications for the
removal of the buildings that are now To-
Gated on Square sc.

ST wonder what it is that is holding back

yesterday, as he stood in a group at the

street car whizzing by, bearing on the rear
dashboard the legend that notified people
they must transfer TO the interurban for

GIRLS HORRIBLE DEATH
MISS MAY HARDING INCINERATED IN
HER OWN HOME.
House Burned Down Before
N~eighbOrs' Eyes.

The most distressing accident of the
Fourth. although not in the line Of cele-
bration. was the death of Miss May Hard
ing. at her home west of Eagle creek. and
a half mile south OF the National road.
about $50 o'clock yesterday morning. Miss
Harding was burned TO death after having
attempted 10 start a fire in the kitchen
stove with coal oil. She had just returned to
her home from Mt. Jackson and in compli-
ance with a request of her mother who was
seated in the yard started to build the FIRE.
A few moments later her screams attracted
the attention of Mrs. Harding. who rushed
to the kitchen door to be met with a mass
of flame. She then went TO the side door
of the cottage, but found it locked. Inside
her daughter was running about and
screaming in agony. Mrs. Harding's cries
brought within a few moments many of her
neighbors, among whom were Phillip Brock
and Albert Dillingham;, who tried to get
into the house, but were unable on account
Of the fire. Other ~neighbors were obliged
to use considerable force TO restrain Mrs.
Harding from rushing into the burning
building, even after the cries of her daugh-
ter had ceased. The house burned rapidly
and the neighbors stood helpless about.
Wlthln nfteen minutes from the Tune the
fire started the roof fell and it was only
a few minutes until there were nothing
but ashes To be seen. The wind, which was
quite strong, blew the ashes about and at
times glimpses of charred bones of the un-
fortunate girl could be seen. Assistance
was asked of the city fire department, but
as there was no water TO be had and the
fire had been burning so fiercely that it was
useless to send a chemical, no response to
the call was made.
The girl, it was thought, poured the oil
on to the fire from a large can In which the
oil is kept, and this caught fire and COM
municated to her clothing.
The only thing saved from the house was
a couch. The loss was estimated at $1,000.
upon which no insurance was carried. In
the house Mrs. Harding had $215 in paper
money in a tin box. The box was found
later by Bicycle Police Griffin and Manning,
and its charred contents will be sent To the
Treasury Department for redemption.
The fire communicated by means of
sparks to the home of Albert Dillingham;,
across the road, but was eXtinguished by a
bucket brigade. headed by the bicycle po-
lice. and with a loss of but SIS, covered by
insurance.
Miss Harding was twenty years of age.
and was we'll known and quite popular IN
the neighborhood. Her mother is pros
trated, and DR.. Hadley, who is attending
her, said her condition was critical.

ATTORNEY GENERALS PLANS.


Attorney General Taylor sacrificed his
enjoyment Of the Fourth Of July to the
interests Of victims of the insanity trust
yesterday. He remained in his office the
greater part of the day d~evising ways and
means for discovering just how many of
the people that have been transferred from
their homes in this city to the Central In
sane Asylum at Mount Jackson in the past
few months are really insane.
He decided to prepare a complete list Of
these people and submit IL TO DIR. George
F. Edenharter, superintendent of the asy-
lum. with instructions TO make a rigid
personal investigation of each case. This
DR.. Edenharter will do, n when his in
vestigations have been completed he will
report to the attorney general his findings
in each particular case, together with his
recommendations TO either set the person
at liberty or detain him a While longer.
Mr.. Taylor expressed his personal opinion
that many people in the asylum now are
really sane or at the worst suffering only
from trifing decisions or Authorizations.
He does not think IL right 10 send such
persons 10 an insane asylum unless they
become violent.
Or. A. w. Brayton, coroner of Marion
county. has been reading everything
printed about the alleged insanity trust"
lately and has also kept in touch with
literature in general on the subject Of in
sanity. He found in the Journal of the
American Medical Association for Oct. u.
1900, a statement OF an interesting legal
decision touching the liability of physicians
in insanity inquests. The decision was rem
dered by the fun bench OF the Supreme
Court Of Massachusetts and holds that
physicians under the Massachusetts
statutes are not liable for negligence in
enormously certifying a person as insane
or inebriate provided they do so in good
faith and without malice. Even IL their
examination was a careless one their
action was not the proximate cause OF the
commitment says the court. "as a judge
must determine that" The court adds
that physicians should. in accordance with
public policy. be considered like other wit
nesses. privileged and protected against
liability as long as they act In good faith

Charles Jackson. Of 70 South senate ave-
nue.. called at the City D~ispensary last
evening TO have a cash in his forehead
sewed UP. He was assaulted. he said, in
his lodging house by Harry Hudson, Chas.
Broderick and John Watson, who followed
him to his own room. Two of his teeth
were knocked out in the fight.
Jackson said his assailants were jealous
OF the attentions shown him by Amelia
Cook, the keeper OF the lodging house. He
went away a few weeks ago and Hudson
was given the room he vacated. Upon his
return Hudson was Obliged to give up the
favOrite room TO Jackson. He did not
know whether or no. the cut over his eye
was caused by a brick. a pair of "knucks"
or a knife. The police were unable at the
time to locate the three men, who ran from
the house.
