GYPSY WOMEN FINED.
The Police VIII Hereafter Exclude
Them from the City.

The three gypsy women that were arrest
ed Wednesday and charged with lettering
were each fined SO and costs in Police
Court yesterday morning. Judge Stubs
announced that similar penalties would be
assessed against others of the gypsy tribe
that might be arrested and found guilty
The police have said that the fortune tellers
from the camp at Hammond's grove must
keep out of the city subject themselves
TO arrest on charges of vagrancy or lOiter-
ing. By keeping them outside the city their
chief source of revenue will be cut off, and
in case the band does not move the police
expect to have trouble with it on account
of means for securing money to which they
resort when the women are not able, by
telling fortunes, to make enough money to
enable the men, who never work, to keep
up their continual debauches.
For the accommodation of the bands the
Terre Haute Brewing Company opened a
saloon in the park. which 1T is said to con-
troll. superintendent Taffe heard Of it, and
the place was closed by the license inspec-

for the women when they were arrested
The fines of two of the women were paid by
one of the men. Judgment in the case of
the other was withheld. She claimed that
on account OF having a One-year-old child
to care for she was unable to pay the fine.

MARC0NI AT LIVELY PARTY.
A story About His Broken Engage
ment with Miss Holman.

Attempts of New York newspapers to get
an authoritative statement of Miss Jose
phine Holmans reason for canceling her
engagement with William Marconi have
failed. Mr.. Mcclure. a friend of Mrs. Hol-
man and her daughter, made the announce
ment of the breaking OF the engagement
He said Miss Holman had sufficient rea-
son, but he would not make it public. A
published story, which, however. lacks the
name of the person responsible for it, is
that Mr.. MarConi could not give Miss Hol-
man a satisfactory explanst ton Of his part
in a supper party in Canadian city that
he attended.
1t is said that Miss Lulu CHASER, several
other young women of her company and
her manager. f. c. Whitney, were present
a the supper. and that a dispute arose
among some of the men to which of
them should pay the bill Mr.. Whitney
settled the matter by paying il. Mr. Mar

hosts. but was the guest of a friend and
had no part I'm the dispute but afterward
he said something about the party that put
some question on its propriety. Whether
the supper was conventional or not Miss
Holman. il seems. was embarrassed by the
publicity given TO il, was offended at Mr.
Marconi and decided that she should break
her engagement with him.

LANGUAGE is FACETIOUS
DEMURRERS FILED TO THE THIRD
AMENDED DECLARATIONS"
Another Chapter I'm the Suit of David
A. Jennings Against Citizens of
Salem, Ind.

Simeon NJ. Hudson, Asa Elliott and Sam
uel H. Mitchell, attorneys for the defend
ants in the suit of David A. Jennings
against Eli w. Menaugh and others, to
recover heavy damages in the United
States Court for alleged persecution, have
filed 'demurrers in answer to the separate
paragraphs of the plaintiffs third
amended declaration" The demurrers
allege that paragraphs of the declaration
do not state facts sufficient to constitute
a cause of action. With the demurrers the
defendants filed a brief, which is rather
inclined to poke fun" at some of the
plaintiffs charges.
One of the paragraphs of the plaintiff s
declaration refers TO the charge that the
affections of the plaintiffs wife were
'alienated." Discussing this point the
brief says: 1.-The vagaries of this para
graph are inexcusable. We are to believe
from these allegations that the defendants
so hypnotized plaintiffs delectable wife
that she was procured TO leave his happy
home and go thence to the county Jail of
Washington county, and thence TO the
city of Louisville i'm the State of Kentucky.
And this at time when the plaintiff was
not in a state of intoxication. The loving
wife is torn ruthlessly from the arms of
the affectiOnate husband by trick. She
is held by the defendants in the city of
Louisville for three weeks and no habeas
corpus writ is sought by the loving hus-
band. This is truly a most ex-
traOrdinary case of Alienation of affection.
re think that the facts detailed would
come more clearly describing the crime of
kidnapping. We submit that party can
not come into court with a hotch-potch of
glaring generalities, all of which are con-
trary to the tradition. history and expert
ence of men of common understanding, and
make such the foundation of a cause of
action"
In another paragraph the brief, referring
TO a charge against the postmaster at
Salem, says: IF the plaintiff would state
the whole truth his delusion of conspiracy
would be at end" In closing the brief
remarks: 1T is very strange that this
plaintiff had trouble with every person
with whom he came in cOntact-the Jus
tice Of the peace. the judge OF the Circuit
Court, the postmaster the school teacher,
the Masonic lodge. and he could have added
the church. Every one with whom he came
in contact was wrong and he alone was
right. We ask the court TO carefully con-
slider all the matter set forth in this
third amended declaration ="
At the time the alleged acts OF persecu-
tion took place Jennings lived at Salem,
Washington county, and the defendants are
residents of the locality.

YOUNG THIEVES CONFESS
SEVEN PLACES OF BUSINESS RE-
GENTLY ROBBED BY THEM.
Fred scanIon, william Walters and
william Otto Tell About
Their DOings.

Seven robberies have now been traced
to Fred Scanlon, William Walters and
William Otto, who were arrested Wednes-
day. They confessed that they entered
and robbed Mauzys jewelry store, Calls
cigar store. the One Dallor hat store and
Louis Hasse's jewelry store in the Black
ford block: that they broke into the Globe
clothing store East Washington street,
from which they were frightened before
getting anything, and that they attempted
to break open the safe in the street-car
stable office at Capitol avenue and Louis
lana street.
Hasse's store was robbed last week. The
only thing missed a silver tea set and
twenty-five watch cases. Detectives Kin
ney and Lancaster recovered the property
yesterday by wading through the water in
Pogues run under the culvert at South
street. The plumber had been planted
there in a basket while there was ice
thick enough to bear their weight. Ian
terms were necessary TO enable the detec-
tives to find their way through the culvert.
The stolen property was most effectually
hidden, and had it not been for explicit d.
rections from the boys. it is believed 1t
would not have been found. Most OF the
stolen property from the other stores has
been recovered.
