Big Fire In Charles Town.

One Of the biggest fires that has Wis
tied Charles Town for years occurred
about II o'clock Tuesday night, when
the old Roselle factory building, owned
by G. F. Wall and occupied by Wall,
Jenkins & Shipman as grain and feed
establishment, was totally DESTROY ed.
1t made tremendous blaze, and lit
up the country for miles around, the
light being plainly seen from SheP-
herd8town. Sparks few in every di-
rection, and for some timei it looked as
if a considerable part of the town
might be burned. Several stables
caught fire, but all the fremen i'll town
were out and managed to save ada
cent property. The building was in
sured for $1,000 and the contents for
$500. The fire was undoubtedly
the work of an incendiary, as this is
the fourth time that it was set afre,
and other buildings in the same local
ity have also been fired on different
occasions.
An old house on Eagle avenue, be-
longing to DR.. Venning, was burned
last Saturday morning.

HEBRON ART BUILDING
PLANS OF ARCHITECTS vONNEGUT
& BONN ACCEPTED.
They VIII Be Placed on Exhibition
To-Day at the HI. Lieber Store
Style of Architecture.

The Indianapolis Art Association has
finally accepted the plans offered by Archi-
tects Vonnegut & Bohn for the new Her
ron Art Institute to be erected at Sixteenth
street and Talbot avenue. Members OF
the directory who had not examined the
plans saw them at a special meeting held
yesterday afternoon and expressed their
approval. To-day the plans will be placed
on exhibition at the Lieber art store and
may be inspected there by the public.
The design for the new building is very
attractive. The structure is to be a classic
building, of oblong shape and two stories
in height. The architecture will be Of the
Renaissance style and is very attractive.
The association does not hope to put up
at once the entire structure as planned
by the architects, but will put up part OF
the building as soon as possible and then
add to it as the finances will admit and
as the demand for space requires more
room.
AT yesterdays meeting the committee on
buildings and grounds was instructed TO
authorize the architects to proceed as rap
idly as possible with the detail drawings
and specifications in order that no time
may be lost in advertising for bids.

THE COMMITTEE TONIGHT
INVESTIGATION OF THE LOGsDON
CHARGES TO BE RESUMED.
Task May BE Finished Before the
Week Is Out Unless More Impor-
tant Evidence Is Presented.

The investigation of the charges against
Edwin d. LOgsdon, of the Board of Public
Works, will be resumed tonight by the
Council committee on investigation and i'm
parchment. Mr.. Wynne issued the call
yesterday. The meeting will begin at s
o'clock
Mr. Wynne says that subpoenas may be
issued this morning for several witnesses,
but he says that the attitude of the COM
mittee will be more to receive the evidence
any reputable person has to bring before
it than to issue special summonses. ANY
person who has real evidence and not mere
hearsay or rumor is welcome to appear
before the committee, Mr.. Wynne says,
and neither the Citizens League nor the
Indianapolis News is barred, although both
refused Mr.. Wynne's invitation to assist
the committee in its labors to get at the
truth.
1t is probable that the investigation will
be finished this week. Judging from the
aimless, unimportant testimony before the
committee at the sessions just preceding
adjournment there will be little worth the
attention of the committee. A session may
be held Thursday night, and the committee
may possibly sit again Friday night, but
that should wind il up, the members of the
committee believe.

TRAIN PARTLY DITCHED
ACCIDENT ON THE BIG FOUR AT
CLARK'S HILL, IND.
Engine and Two Cars of the Chicago
Night Express DeraiIed-Three
Tramps Missing.

Two hundred passengers on the Big Four
Chicago night express. which left the I'm
ion station at 1905. narrowly escaped
death and what might have been a Sc
rious wreck at Clark's Hill, Ind, at 2:3O
o'clock this morning. The train left here
with seven coaches full of passengers and a
mail and baggage car making nine cars in
the train.
At Clark's Hill the train was run into
side track to allow a southbound passenger
train to pass The siding is about half
mile long, and it is customary to run
straight through without making a stop
when the southbound train Is on time. The
southbound train was standing on the sid
ing waiting, when the big express train
from Indianapolis thundered into the siding
and. without stopping for orders, rushed
past the little station and through the open
switch at the other end.
The engine and tender and the baggage
and mail cars were overturned and the bal
ance of the train was brought to sudden
standstill The greatest confusion reigned
ana the nunOTeuS Oh pdSScHStIS Ol thc Ca
press train were for time panic-stricken.
Men scrambled over women and women
thrust aside the children, all fearful lest
they should not get out of the cars alive.
number of the passengers were injured
from the shock and from being crowded
against the seats but none seriously.
The engineer and fireman, as well le
attendants of the mail and baggas Ars,
saved themselves by jumping. 1t sthought
that three tramps may have been@ killed,
but their bodies have not yet been found
The trainmen say that three strange men
were riding on the front of the baggage car
when the train was several miles out of
Clarks Hill, but they are not sure whether
the tramps jumped off at the station or
not.
So great was the velocity of the train that
the rapidly moving engine practically buried
itself in the ground.
The wrecking train from this city left for
Clark's Hill at half past two o'clock this
morning and a crew from Lafayette was
also sent to the scene of the accident.
The cause of the accident is said to have
been a defective target.

discovery that Knapp's wife was missing

Mayor Bosch was called and was about
to tell of Knapp's confession to him when
the defense objected and while the ques-
ton was being argued the jury was re-
moved from the courtroom. When Mayor
Bosch was recalled the defense made a
fight to keep Knapp's two confessions from
going to the jury. Lawyer Thomas made
an argument declaring the state had not
proved Hannah Goddard Knapp's murder
and insinuating that the police procured the
confessions improperly.
Judge Belden finally ruled to admit the
confessions, which is serious blow to the
defense Mayor Bosch then outlined the
confessions, one of which was read and
identified.
