Been Robbed Increases.

indianapolis. Ind. November IAN
other tour of inspection was taken
over all the cemeteries in the southern
and southeastern portions of Marion
county today, to gain more information
about graves reported to AVE been
robbed in that locality.
The party included Detectives Asch
and Manning. and the grave robbers
Cantrill and Martin now under arrest.
Five cemeteries were visited and posi-
tive information was gained thai at
least thirty graves in them have been
opened, though the names of only eight
of those whose bodies who were stolen
are known. The wooden head boards.
as the graves were robbed. were mark
ed with a lead pencil. but the rains
have entirely effaced the lines.
At Lickere cemetery it was found
that the bodies of five men had been
taken from their graves, besides thos2
of several whose names could not be
ascertained, n disposed of to tn
medical colleges.

EXPLOSION OF GAS.
While Fighting Fire Many Firemen
and Spectators Are Injured.

New York, November 11.-An explo-
sion of Illuminating gas in the cellar of
the seven story double tenement on
Avenue c., this afternoon wrecked a
store on the ground fioor and injured
thirty-nine persons, several being Sc
verely hurt. Among the injured were
fourteen firemen and one policeman.
The explosion followed a slight fire
caused, it is said, by a plumber who was
working in the cellar.
When the firemen, led by Chief Jurin,
entered the cellar it was found to be
charged with gas from a melted lead
connection n a momen later an eX-
plosion occurred, enveloping the men
in flames n blowing out the front of
store overhead. A shower of debris was
hurled into the crow watching the fire
and many were struck with fragments
of glass and splintered wood. About
twenty persons were taken to the hospi-
tai. The firemen who were in the cellar
succeeded in making their escape, ail
suffering more or less from burns and
cuts. The damage by the fire and ex-
ploSion was slight.

TO Be TRIED FOR HIS LIFE.
j. =. Williams. Colored, Bound Over
to- the Superior Court on the hars-
of BurS1ary-He In Probably -
Fugitive from Justice and is Want
ed mt Roseboro.

In the municipal court yesterday
Mayor pro tenn w. 3. Cooper gave a
hearing to J. II. Williams, colored, who
was arrested Monday night by Police
man H. P. Merritt at Fourth n
Brunswick streets. on the charge Of
burglary. The prosecuting witness was
Wallace Myers. colored. who mas a room
in a house in Thompson's alley, between
Third and Fourth and Bladen and Har-
nett streets.
Myers testified that Williams a a
room in the same house TIP to Tuesday
Of last week. when he went elsewhere.
He not only changed his quarters but
when he went he stole several articles
of clothing belonging 20 others in the
house. Friday night someone broke
into the house while three or -four
were sleeping in it. and broke int
Myers room and stole three pairs of
pants, two coats a ring and other arti-
cles. No one in the house saw the
burglar but a day or two afterwards
Williams was seen with the articles
stolen from the room on the night of
the burglary. The fact that he had
stolen things from the house on Tues
day n that he was in possession Of
the articles stolen on the nlGnt or the
burglary, led to the very reasonable
suspicion that he was the burglar,
hence he was arrested.
Williams denied that he committed
the burglary out said he got the articles
on Tuesday night when he stole the
other things. The house was broken
into on last Friday night about 2
o'clock. After hearing the evidence
Mayor pro tenn Cooper bound Williams
over to the superior court, without
bond, to be tried for his life.
Williams is about 40 years cid and it
is believed by Chief Of Police Furlong
that Williams is not his name and that
he is a fugitive from justice. In his
pocket were found letters from his wife
who signs her name as Nancy Gull
breth. Culbreth. in all III obability, is his
light name. h writes from Roseboro,
n. c.. and in a letter tells him that
a negro who knows him is in Whining
ton n she warns him to be careful
else he might give him away. She also
tells him that the night he left home
a lot of white men surrounded his
house, loking for him.. This leads to
the suspicion that the negro is wanted
for some crime at Roseboro.
In addition to the above case William
Campbell, colored, was given q hearing
for being drunk and breaking a window
at the store of Mr.. =. W. Davis, on
Market street between Front and Water
streets. 1t was shown hat he was
drunk and fell against the window. He
was left off Upon payment Of the costs.
was let off upon payment of the costs.
Mr.. Davis $3.50 for the broken window.
