VANDALISM INBLACKFORD
UNAUTHORIZED DESTRUCTION OF
BEAUTY OF THE COURTHOUSE.
Doors and Windows Cut Through
Stone Walls and Ohces Leased
without Warrant.
pecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind. Sept. 29-Public
Indignation here is running high against the
County Commissioners for permitting the
new $4,000 courthouse to be mutilated and
made into offices for renting purposes.
Recently a wall of stone was cut through to
make a door to accommodate a renter. A
window was cut down through the solid
stone and made into door. There was a
great deal of criticism at the time, as it
greatly marred the appearance and archi-
lecture of the beautiful structure Prose-
cutor John Burns has rented the east
room on the ground floor for law office.
The commissioners also have leased anoth-
er room for q gas office and boarded up
the windows at another lower floor room
and erected coal shute through 1t.
When a stone mason went to work this
morning to chisel away the window K. NJ.
Stahl, cashier of the Citizens State Bank,
dents, appeared with Sheriff Morrical and
ordered the mutilation stopped the
ground that ii was unauthorized and a
destruction of the countys property. Com
missioner George Whitman. who made such
a strenuous objection to the Phinney Band
when engaged by the business men, gave
Burns permission to have the change made.
AS the work had not been authorized by
the board, the sheriff stopped the work.
The citizens and taxpayers object strong
ly to the mutilation of the structure, and
oe rented for office purposes. If the COM
Inissioners insist on cutting the doors it is
likely the citizens will stop the work by
Injunction.

Liquidation and Further Shrinkage
In Values stopped by Heavy Pur-
chases Of Good Securities.
PENNSYLVANIA STOCKS LED
MADE GAIN OF 81 POINTS ON
BUYING OF $4,000 SHARES.
Prominent Financial Interests Behind
the Market-Demoralfza ton In Lon
don-OctOber Dividends.

NEW YORK, Sept. pa very decided
change came over to-day's stock market
In place of the recent heavy liquidations and
further shrinkage of values, there was buy
ing in large quantities apparently by the
leading financial interests, though it was
more than likely that goodly part of the
days purchases were really in the nature
of supporting orders. 1t is also probable
that some of the high grade stocks were
absorbed for investment The bears were
not slow to observe the changed conditions
and covered very extensively, In fact their
attitude helped. in no small degree, to sus-
tain the list which was at top prices at
the close.
Conditions at the outset were not en-
couraging The cables reported a situa-
tion bordering on Generalization in London,
where consols had fallen to another low
record with heavy declines in the leading
Americans, notably the steel stocks. In
itial transactions in this market reflected
the tone of that in London, but after the
first few minutes the market reversed its
course under the lead of Pennsylvania,
which was the pivotal issue of the day.
That stock was openly bought by interests
that represent the road financially and on
sales of more than 123.000 shares made a
net gain of S% points. The strength of
lIlS SlOCk was tLt IiOTt noteworthy In view
Of the previous days fierce drive against
1t. Other active and strong stocks in
cluded Union Pacific, Atchison, ST. Paul,
Erie, Reading and United States Steel pre-
ferred, all of which gained two points or
more. Some of the specialties made greater
advances but the bulk of the days opera
tions was limited to the issues named
story went the rounds during the day
that the leading financial interests had
agreed to protect the market by united ac-
ton. The story was denied in authorita-
tive circles

FOUR CHILDREN POISONED
ONE Is DEAD AND THE OTHER
THREE CANNOT RECOVER.
Found a Plate of Poisoned Candy at
the Rear of a kOkOmo Grocery
Much Indignation Aroused.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind, Sept. 29.-One boy is dead
and three others are at the point OF death
tonight as the result of arsenical poison
ing. They are the sons Of John Gee and
John Metzker, and their ages range from
three to seven years.
The boys were playing at the rear of
grocery, where they found plate of candy
that had been thrown out They de-
voured the sweet stuff and were taken vio-
lently sick, all going into spasms. Coroner
Harrison was called and applied all known
remedies. One of the Gee boys died to-
night The other three cannot recover.
There is much indignation over the af-
fair, as while there is nothing to indicate
that the candy was placed where ii was
found with the intent to poison the children,
ii is evident that only criminal carelessness
could have resulted in to-night's tragedy II
the element of intent be eliminated.
The children are Willie and Robbie Gee,
aged five and three, sons of John Gee and
Victor and Rice Metzker, aged seven and
five sons of John MetZker Willie Gee is
dead. The fathers are plate glass workers
and the store is near their home. The gro
cery is owned and managed by William
Clover. All the children ate about the same
quantity of the poisoned taffy.
Coroner Harrison Is making a thorough
investigation and IL ii develops that the
poisoning was deliberate prompt action will
be taken by the officers to ferret out the
guilty one.
