DEFENDED BY EXPLOSIVES.
A Young woman's Plan to CircuIn-
vent n Railway Company.

INDIANAPOLIS. April SO-Miss Lor-
etto Cory, a prominent society woman Of
Shelbyvile has been engaged in con-
troyersy with the Lateral Railway Com
pany, which has been seeking to cross
her land with its tracks for several
months, and the company has entered
the courts to enforce the condemnation of
the land.
Commissioners were appointed to assess
benefits and damages and they had just
completed their work when signs appear
ed on Miss Cory's land warning persons
not to trespass on it, as nitro-glycerine had
been placed In the ground along the en-
tire route which had been surveyed for
the railway. These notices were at first
regarded as joke, but investigation
shows that the young woman really en-
ployed men to place the explosive in the
ground, and that IL was put at many
places along the proposed line.
Two detectives employed by the com
pany called upon Miss Cory and asked
why she had placed the explosive in the
ground. and she canddly admitted that
she had done so for the purpose of pre-
venting the company from making It's
grade.

THE oRAToRIo ELIJAH
Last Concert of the Season by the
Choral Society.

The Choral Society brought its
eighteenth annual series of concerts to
close last evening by a performance of
Memberships oratorio Elijah at the
First Congregational Church, corner Of
Tenth and G Streets northwest. The past
season has been a highly successful one
for the society and the artistic and
financial success with which 1t has met is
very gratifying to all concerned. The pro-
gramme It has presented this year has
been unusually attractive, beginning with
the annual performance of the Messiah"
during the Christmas season, a song re
cital by David Bispham in January, the
first production of Horatio Parker's
''Hora Novissima" in Washington, con-
Quoted by the composer in February,
lecture by H. E. Krehbiel in March. and
the presentation Of elijah" last night
This great work of Mendelssohn is one
of the most popular Of oratorios and
ranks in public favor with the Mes
siah." 1t is a highly dramatic compost
ton containing many stirring climaXeS.
The oratorio was given satisfactory
performance last night. The Choral So
ciety is in better condition than ii was
earlier in the season and more crcditably
repaid Director Josef kaspar for his in
defatlgable labors
Miss Sara Anderson has an excellent
soprano voice, though her early work was
marred by uncertainty MISS MdDelle
Louise Bond, the c0ntralto, sang with
much feeling and made a favorable i'm
preston. Nicholas Douty, the tenor, has
appeared several times with the society,
and he sang with warmth Of feeling and
with good enunciatiou. The bulk Of the
solo work falls to the baritone. 1t was en-
trusted to Ericsson Bushnell. who was
equal to the demands made upon him.
Mr. Bushnell's voice has good quality
but his use Of it is not always judicious
Others who took part in the rendering
Of the uratorio are: Mrs. f. A. Gardner,
soprano; Miss Pauline Whitaker, contral-
to: Melville Heusey, tenor, and Bernard
Ryan basso. Prof. John Porter Lawrence
presided at the organ and was ably sec
onded BY DR.. Anton Gloetzner at the
piano in the arduous task of accompany
ing the chorus and solOists A very large
audience was present, completely filling
the church.

A VICTIM OF CIGARETTES.
Chewing Preferred TO Smoking by n
baltimore Man.

BALTIMORE, april 30.-A peculiar case
caused by the Incorporate use of cigar
cites was brought TO the attention of the

ing when Henry Burk, twenty-eight years
old, was arraiEned before Justice Fowler
on the charge of disturbing the peace.
Burk was arrested at the instigation of
his father Martin Burk, who says that
his son is so violent at times that he
fears to leave him with the family 1t
appears that the young man refuses TO
work, or did not have energy enough to
secure work because of the constant use
of cigarettes. The way in which he used
them was peculiar He did not smoke
them; he preferred to chew them as
though they were chewing tobacco.
In this manner he consumed from two
to three boxes daily and when he could
not get them he was in an unbalanced
