FOOTPADS ABROAD.
Among the Victims of the Highway
men Was a Sentinel Reporter.

Footpads were at large. last night. and in
the two instances recorded they were but
slightly repaid for their trouble. In one
case the robbers escorted their victims TO
the railroad yards, where they searched
for ~valuables. At $50 o'clock Charles d.
Wright and Harry Walker, boarding at
4O1 West South street, reported to the po-
lice that they had been held up. Bicycle
Policemen Losh and Duncan were sent to
investigate. They found the two young
men standing at the corner of Senate ave-
nue. and South street. They told the police
men that it was at that corner, but a
short while previous that two men, one
short and the other tall. approached them
and asked the time. Wright said he pulled
his watch from his pocket, when both rob-
bers drew revolvers and commanded
Wright and Walker to accompany them.
The party went to the Vandalia Railroad
yards, where the robbers took the watch
and 81 in silver that Walker possessed.
After the robbers left them they threatened
to shoot If the two men made any move
ment to follow them.
The next hold-up reported was that of
Fred Goodridge, a Sentinel reporter, who
said he was stopped at the corner of North
and Meridian streets by two men, one of
whom held a revolver in his face while the
other searched his pockets. Goodridge said
that after the men left him they ran west
into the first alley, where they disappeared.
He could not give an accurate description
Of the men.

A neat-appearing and well-dressed man

ton on the roadside of East Tenth street
and the Belt Railroad early last evening by
an employe Of the city in the sewer gang,
who notified the City Dispensary by tele-
phone. DR.. Kennedy, with the City Dispen-
sary ambulance. was driven out to the
place and after a hasty examination found
that the man was unconscious from car
bolic acid poisoning. presumably self-ad-
ministered. DIR. Kennedy, with the as
sistance of DR.. Towles, Of Irvington. ap-
Piled emetics and the usual antidotes In
cases of carbolic acid poisoning and, al
though successful in restoring animation to
the body, failed to bring the patient to con-
seriousness. He was taken TO the City Hos
pital. The hospital physicians do not ex-
pect him to recover and predict that he
will die before the night is over.
The man was seen by passers-by on EN-
erson and Tenth streets, sitting under a
tree by the roadway during the afternoon,
and he did not excite n unusual inter
est. When he was found ne mad propaply
been lying in the position for some time,
and was so placed as to be out or view OF
most people who happened to pass. He
was seen by some persons who though
that he was either drunk or sleeping

Representative watson in Town.

Representative James e. Watson was in
Indianapolis yesterday and told of a fine
meeting he had at Morristown, Shelby
county, on Monday night. "It was the big
gest meeting I have had this campaign"
he said. Mr.. Watson will devote the great
er part Of his campaign to his own dis
trict, the Sixth. However, he will give some
assistance to some of his congressional
friends. He has promised to make two
speeches for Representative Cromer In Del
aware county, and will try to give Repre-
sentative Brick some time in the Thirteenth
district. Mr.. Holiday has asked Mr.. Wat
son to make a speech in the Fifth district,
but he is doubtful about being able to go
there. Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Lands are on
a sort of trade" but have not been able
to reach a definite conclusion yet. Wayne
county, which is a part of Mr.. Watson's
district, wants Mr.. Lands for a speech at
Richmond and one at Hagerstown, and Mr..
Lands wants Mr.. Watson to make speeches
at Frankfort and Kokomo.

CHILD TERRIBLY MANGLED.
Title Hawkins, Five Years Old
Crushed Under a Street Car.

A Blake-street car. in rounding the curve
at Blake street and Indiana avenue last
night at Z o'clock, ran down Title Haw-
kins, five years old, living at S23 Athon
street, and ground her beneath the wheels.
Her left leg and arm were cut off. She
also received a number of gashes on the
left side of the face. She was taken to the
City Hospital a few blocks away, where II
was said last night that there was but little
chance for the child's recovery.
TIL child and a number of other colored
girls were playing on the sidewalk near
the corner. The children ran into the street
several times. Little Tillie Hawkins was
in the act of chasing a companion when
she was struck by the street car. 1t is
said that the motorman rang his gong as
he approached the corner, but the children
were too much interested in their game to
hear the car. Tillie was in the middle OF
the track when struck and was drawn be-
meath the car.
The child was placed On an operating
table at the City Hospital and efforts were
made TO save her life. This seemed i'm
probable, considering her severe injuries.
The limbs that were cut of were ~bandaged
and the child, when taken TO her ward,
was suffering but little pain. although the
shock was very great. She fingered until
H:30 o'clock last night, when she died.

the matter. Mr.. Whitaker will return to-
day. The State committee is not yet pre-
pared to give out the details Of the trip.
1t was hoped by Chairman Goodrich to
have Senator Hanna in the State for at
least three days, but so great is the de-
mand on the senator's time 1t will be i'm
possible to nave him here for more than
two days. The State committee has rea-
soned that Senator Hanna would be a
popular compaigner in this State. The re-
quests that nave come to the State COM
mittee from localities that desire a visit
from him are an indication of his popu-
larity.
Arrangements will probably be made to
have rallies in the towns visited by the
senator and the crowds will be entertained
by other speakers before and after the
| senator's visit. On the train with Senator
Hanna will be members of the State COM
mittee and in addition members of the In

tor Hanna speak in the mining districts in
southern Indiana. Coming In from the
south the train will make its way to Terre
Haute, making brief stops at different
points. From Terre Haute the party will
proceed to Indianapolis, stopping at in
termediate points. The night of the
I'D Senator Hanna will speak in
this city. The train will leave
Indianapolis early the morning of the cath,
| proceeding from here to Anderson and

Portland and South Bend are included In
the itinerary in addition to other cities IN
| the northern and eastern part of the State.
On the 18th the senator will return to

1t is the intention of the State commit

people as possible may see the senator and
| hear him speak. 1t will be impossible To
visit all the localities that would like to
| have the distinguished Ohioan, but the
| committee will exercise the best judgment
it can in arranging the itinerary.
