HACKED UP THE FURNITURE.
George Bergman Told Police He Was
a Much-Abused Man.

George Bergman, an angry stepfather of
three boys, last night became tired of their
transgressions on his hospitality and went
to a saloon near his home and took a few
drinks to get up his nerve. He then went
home and stacked up all the furniture in
the house, broke the beds and windows
n practically demolished all the house
hold effects in the Bergman residence. At
about the time the last strokes of Berg
mans Ratchet cut up the last chair and
soothed his anger somewhat, Patrolmen
kemphel and Lawlor arrived on the scene
and placed Bergman under arrest on a
charge of malicious ~trespass. At the po-
lice station last night he said that he was
a much-abused man and considered his
action at his home fully justified by the
circumstances.

SERIOUS STRIKE THREATENED.
Tie-Up at Chicago May Affect Express
Business Here.

A serious strike is threatened among the
employees of the United States Express
Company at Chicago. which, if it occurs.
will affect the express company's business
of this city and will probably cause a tie
up. The trouble is the result of the refusal
of the company to pay any attention to the
demands of the employees for increased
wages. If the strike is called many other
large companies may become involved, in
which case the express business throughout
the country will be badly tied UP. Over
5000 employees may be called out on strike,
and, although it would not affect the big
companies at first, it would finally under
mine the business of this part OF the coun-
try. Ninety-five per cent. of the company's
employees are members of the union.
The employees are asking for an advance
of 10 per cent. to each man, including mes
sengers, checkers, sheet writers. way-bill
clerks. car storers and scale callers. The
United States Express Company has been
chosen as the first object of attack, as il
is regarded as the most influential of the
companies.

100000 SAW CARNIVAL
ESTIMATE OF CROWD BASED ON
THE TICKET SALES.
Net Receipts Will BE i'm the Neighbour
hood of 12,OOO-The Clos
ing Night.

h military carnival ended in a blaze
of glory last night. Although it was the
closing evening, there was no lack of en-
thusiasm among the crowds that massed
on the midway and the streets leading to it.
The hundreds of lights that blazed over
head seemed brighter than ever, the music
of bands louder and gayer and the voices
of the 'barkers" deeper and hoarser. Peo-
pie came from every direction and from
early in the evening until almost midnight
the street between the gaudy show fronts
was a solid phalanx of crowding. pushing,
jostling, elbowing. laughing people with
their weeks wages in their pockets and
bent on seeing every show. Fully as many
people visited the carnival last night as
on any of the other evenings and made the
finale as successful as the beginning.
Frank n. Gaskil, manager of the ~GaSkil-
Mundy Carnival Company, said late last
night that during the week fully 100000
people passed through the tents of the
shows at the carnival and the total receipts
would amount to $4,000. of which the ar
nory fund will receive about $1,000. This
will be a good beginning for the armory.
Those who have the work in charge are
much pleased at the success of the car
nival. The receipts exceeded their hopes,
and they now feel certain of the armory.
The specification of the contract is that Is
per cent. of the net receipts are to go to
the armory fund.
AS usual. Nicholas Chafalo, the loop-the-
loop man, was the best patroniZed show last
night, and the crowds massed around the
entrance of his show. He performed his
perilous act in the same easy manner as on
the preceding nights, and came off as we'll.
All the shows were much sought, and did a
big business that made the voices of the
bankers ring with genuine joy. The Girl
From Up There" drew the usual curious
crowds, the ballet dancers danced TO a
packed tent, and the Egyptian c%onjurer dis
played marvellous skill TO hundreds OF won
dering people.
After midnight, when the crowds had left
the carnival streets, a wonderful trans
formation took place. The din ceased, and
in it's place was the noise of the tearing
down of the tents and the moving of the
platforms. The Transformation was sudden,
and within a very short time the street
was a wreck. The big truck wagons were
driven in, and the tents and baggage were
loaded for the departure of the carnival
company. Before morning the midway was
cleared, and the rows of tents and gaudy
fronts were gone. The company will leave
the city to-day.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
Sept. 5.-George W.
Beavers, who was indicted in Brooklyn sew
eral days ago in connection with the postal
scandal, will be taken into custody during
the coming week. This, at least, is the eX-
pectation of the department of officials. a
great deal of criticism has been heaped on
the administration for it's delay in appre-
bending Beavers. This is due to a misun-
Outstanding of the exact situation. The
grand jury now in session here has before
it several cases which have a direct bear
ing on the case made against Beavers. 1t is
explained that if Beavers is arrested in New
York, where he is entitled to a preliminary
hearing, in advance of action by the grand
jury in this jurisdiction, the government
would be compelled TO give its hand away
before it is ready to do so. Beavers's arrest
depends on the action of the grand jury
here, which is expected to return indict-
ments before the end of the coming week.
This is the status of the Beavers case so far
as the department is concerned. At no time,
it develops, has there been any mystery as
to the whereabouts of the indicted.
The delay of the legal authorities/in act
ing on postal cases is almost a scandal it
