A PECULIAR FIRE.
At 7:o5 last evening an alarm OF fire
was sent in from box 475 for a fire on the
roof OF small cottage in the rear OF 2So
Pocasset avenue, owned by Mary Esan.
and occupied by Annie Core. There was
not great damage. but the cause or the
fire was peculiar.
Mrs. Holmes who lives on Daniel ave-
nue.. was caring for her mother. who was
Ill. and just before she retired for the
night looked out OF the window OF the
room as she has since a fire occurred In
the vicinity number OF years ago, and
she saw a bright light on the roof OF
Ralph, and told him 10 send in an alarm.
To extingush the fire called for but a
few moments work. but the cause of the
hre was something OF a mystery for on
the roof Of the house was a piece OF
one-inch rope. about three feet In length
and this had been on fire.
Lieut. Tyler began an investiga ton and
found a much longer piece of rope OF tho
same description lying on the ground
near the cottage. and at first IL was sup.
posed that someone had sent up a huge
fire balloon and the rope had fallen upor
the house. but later the lieutenant learn
ed that Mrs. Cores son had during the
early hours OF the previous morning
cleaned out the chimney with pail and
and this rope. and while this was ac-
cepted as the cause OF the FIRE IL was
not plain TO the police how the rope
could have taken fire more than Is hours
before and smouldered all OF that time.

cred Heart. on Taunton avenue. The con-
tracing parties we're Mr.. Michael Jo-
seph O'Leary, a we'll known newspaper
man and Miss Mary Agnes oLeary, both
of whom are favorites with their large
circle OF acquaintances in the town.
The wedding ceremony was performed
by Rev. FIR Haney. rector OF the church.
Only the immediate relatives OF the two
families were in attendance. Both the
bride and the maid OF honor were dressed
in pearl gray, and the young couple pre-
sented a most attractive picture as they
walked TO the chancel rail- TO the strains
OF Mendelsohns wedding march.
The bride carried a huge boauet OF
bridal roses. while the bridesmaid Miss
Helen May OLeary, sister OF the bride,
carried large boquet OF white and car
mine pinks.
Mr.. Mark Francis OLeary. brother OF
the groom. acted as best man. After the
ceremony those present went TO the

Last night there was a house warming
at 10 Summit street. where the young
people will reside. A collation. was served
and parlor dancing and other amusements
were enjoyed until late hour.
The couple will not take a honeymoon
trip, as the nature Of Mr. O'Leary's bust
ness does not admit OF any protracted alb
sence.

CHARGE AGAINST A GERMAN.
While mt the Police station He Has an
Epileptic Fit.


Epileptic Fit.
The West Indianapolis firemen aided the
police department. last night in arrAsting a
man for stealing a bicycle by deteining
man who tried to sell them a good wheel
for q small price in the engine house until
Bicyclemen Morgan and Simon arrived TO
serd him to the police station on a charge
Of petit larceny. The man arrested was
George Garlaner, a German. who, after
being confined I'm the police station. was
attacked with epieptic fits and nearly died.
The mans sufferings were horrible to Wit
ness, and when they ceased he was go weak
he was scarcely able TO stand. During his
struggles with the policemen who held him
Garlaner tore nearly all his clothes; on.
Garlaner applied to the West indianapolis
engine house last night for temporary
redeem Sunday. The firemen called po-
lice headquarters, and Sergeant Crane
asked that the man be held until the police
got there. The firemen saw that he did not
leave, and when Morgan and Simon arrived
he was trying to explain that he was inno-
cent of any wrong doing. He talked broken
English with German accent, and said the
wheel had been bought by him from the b.
koehring Company. The wheel was sent
to the police station and identified by j. A.
Wise, of 721 Park avenue. who reported its
theft from 124 East Court street yesterday
evening. Wise's wheel was taken from
and another wheel was substituted for 1t.
The other bicycle. 1t was learned, was
stolen from a messenger boy, who iden-
titled 1t at the police station.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Voting strength considered, there are
probably as many politicians in Indiana
as in any other State. Many Of them are
in politics for their health, others for the
excitement, while the great majority see in
party politics the means for promoting the
welfare of the State and Nation. They be-
lieve political parties are necessary. The
Journal probably holds like view but a
comment yesterday on the results of the
spring elections is not exactly consistent
IT says: I'm local elections local affairs and
interests should dominate" IL IL Is meant
that in nominations for local elections con-
MENTIONS should select candidates with d.
of the Offices, then the sentiment expressed
by the comment should be approved III IN Is
meant that when party candidates are chos-
en- by machine methods regardless of 1T
ness that members of the party should
vote for candidates of the opposite party N
they are capable. honest men. the sentiment
should be approved. But TO advise a laxfty
in party loyalty in local affairs Is to in
yIte disaster to party In state and national
AFFAIRS 1t would seem to be the lesser
evil that party plumbers should be corrected
at the polls than to do so by mongrel tick
cts. A responsibility attaches to regular
nominees of mongrel combinations. The
party is greater than the individual
