MASS OF REQUIEM.
1t Is Celebrated in the Catholic
Churches of the City.

The requiem mass for the repose of the
soul of Pope Leo XIII was celebrated in
all the churches of the Indianapolis do
cese yesterday, as well in every Cath
Ollie church in the world.
At st. Johns Church the mass was cele-
brated by Bishop Chatard, with the Rev.
Francis Gavisk as assistant priest the Rev.
s. j. Donaghue as deacon and the Rev.
Peter killian as subdeason.
In all the churches n catafalque had been
erected typifying the actual bier of the
Pope and drap ped in black and purple.
The bells OF ST. Johns began tolling at
a.. m. Two altar boys from the sacristy
lighted the six candles about the papal bier,
then the candles on the altar and the other
lights in the church shone out brilliantly.
The music for the mass was the Gregorian
Chant, which was sung by the choir.
When the service, which most i'm
presSive, was almost finished the bishop
removed his purple vestments and donned
"A white surplice. He then put aside his
cap and put on the white inter. Then in
procession the bishop, followed by the
clergy and the acolytes proceeded from the
altar TO the catafalque, which was sprin-
killed. with holy water by the bishop and
about which the censor was swung. The
mass was then finished and the acolytes
and clergy retired to the sacristy, leaving
the bishop in prayer.

LOVELY JAGS KILL FISH
NOVEL THEORY ADVANCED BY
HEALTH SECRETARY HURTY.
He Thus Accounts for the Tremendous
Number OF dead Ones in the
River mt This Time.

'Intoxication is really the thing that
causes fish to die under the conditions that
have prevailed at White river for the last
few days" said Dr. Hurry, of the State
Board OF Health. yesterday. when this
strawboard refuse flows into the river il
brings with IL a carbonated gas that drives
the oxygen out of the water The fish. of
course. dart 10 the surface TO get air and
when they reach the top and begin TO inhale
the oxygen they become intoxicated and
either die at once from drunkenness or sink
below the surface in an intoxicated condi-
tion and die OF strangulation."
II has been decided by the State that the
pollution OF the river which lately killed
30 many fish shall be investigated by the
Delaware county grand jury. The State
has no evidence on which to proceed, and
ft is deemed best TO let the Delaware county
prosecutor take the matter UP and investi-
gate II thoroughly. This decision was
reached after a conference yesterday be-
tween Secretary Hurry, OF the State Board
OF Health. and Deputy Attorney General
Geake- There is no doubt in the minds OF
the health officers about the source of
the pollution. but the matter resolves itself
into a question OF fact which has TO be
proved The miil-owners declare that they
did not turn the refuse into the river and
the health officers after investigating the
conditions about the mills and the ponds
that are supposed 10 hold the refuse, say
they can md no evidence OF the stun hav-
Ing been turned into the river. One of the
theories advanced is that muskrats dug
through one CT the dikes into a pond that
holds this refuse and that IL escaped into
the river in that way.

HURT In PECULIAR WAY
MRS. SAVANNAH HILL STRUCK ON
HEAD By PANE OF GLASS.
Her House Was Struck by Lightning
and She Was Outside to See What
Had Happened when Hurt.

During the severe storm which swept the
city yesterday morning the house of Mrs.
Savannah Hill, SIT Kentucky avenue, was
struck by lightning and, scared by the
shock, Mrs. Hill ran to the front door and
stepped outside to see whether the house
was on fire on not. AS she was standing
just outside the doorway a gust of wind
struck the house and blew a pane of glass
out of a window in the second story, which
struck her on the head as it fell.
She was a moment later picked up in an
unconscious condition by neighbors, who at
once called for DR.. Rhodes. On arriving at
the house DR.. Rhodes found the woman
suffering terribly from loss of blood, which
gushing from a deep cut fully four
inches long across her forehead. 1t was
necessary for the doctor to take a number
of stitches in the wound and it was some
time before his patient was restored to
consciousness. She reported much
improved late last night, but is still in a
critical condition.

ARRESTED A COAL THIEF.
Turnkey John Lowe just Couldn't
Resist the Temptation.

Turnkey John Lowe, of the police de-
partment, made an arrest early yesterday
morning. 1t is unusual for a turnkey to
make an arrest, but as Turnkey Lowe said,
when you see a man stealing from be-
meath your very nose, you can't keep your
hands off of him after you have served
certain length of time on the police force"
John Lowe gets UP bright and early
every morning and yesterday while as
usual taking a morning walk, he saw a sus-
picious looking character in the person of
a negro pushing a wheelbarrow up the
street in a seemingly great hurry. When
the colored man passed In front of the
Lowe residence, the turnkey stopped him
and asked him what he had i'm the wheel
barrow which was covered over with an old
piece of cloth. The negro answered that he
had coal and was taking it to his mother,
but when the turnkey started towards him.
he ran blindly across the street and bumped
into the side of a house, caught his clothes
on a nail and hung there until Sergeant
Lowe walked across the street and lifted
him off. He then confessed that he had
been Tor many mornings stealing coal from
coal sheds and selling 1t to consumers, who
were his regular customers. His name, he
said was Henry Robinson When Turnkey
Lowe walked into the police station yester-
day morning, he took the negro coal thief
with him and locked him up for petit lar

MARRIED WOMAN In CASE
DETECTIVES HAVE A CLEW TO MUIR
DER OF YOUNG WRIGHT.
1t Is Intimated that He Was Killed by
WelI-knOwn Man, Husband
of the Woman.

Information was secured yesterday by De-
tectives Lancaster and Kurtz regarding the
murder of Merle Wright at Riverside Park
a week ago which in their estimation will
eventually clear up the mystery. The father
of young Wright was closeted with them
yesterday and from information in his
hands together with what the detectives
have already gathered, it is evident that
there is a married woman in the case.
The theory on which the detectives will
work for the present is that Wright HAD
been paying attention to this married
woman and on the night of the murder
was followed by the angered husband of
the woman to the lonely spot in the park
where the crime was committed. The
womans name, it is said, has been positive
ly ascertained, and her husband who is sus-
pected of the murder, is well-known bust
ness man. 1t is expected that the case is
fast nearing its end.

ENGLISH HOTEL MANAGEMENT.


Negotiations have been closed for a
change in the management of the English
Hotel by which Henry W. Lawrence who
has been the general manager of the hotel
for the past two years, will dispose of all
his stock in the company and retire to give
his exclusive attention to the Claypool and
to the Spencer House. George G.. Tanner
will also dispose of his stock. William Z.
English holds the option on the Lawrence
and Tanner stock, but it is understood that
he will dispose Of at least part of It and
that under the readjus tment, Ernest III.
Trip will own controlling interest L. p
Newly, of Knightstown, will increase his
holdings and il is understood that Governor
Durbin will take block of the stock.
A meeting of the stockholders will be held
next Tuesday at which the deal will be
closed and new officers elected. Charles c..
Rouser. who has been superintendent of
the hotel since Mr. Lawrence went over to
the ClaypOol, will be continued as man.
ager temporarily at least, Ii is said.
The English has been a very profitable
property during the past two years, it is
said, and the stock in the company is held
at "A high figure. The change in the man.
agement is made because some of the stock
holders felt that the hotel should not be
under the same management as the Clay
pool Several of the stockholders, however
are also interested in the Claypool.

DEATH OyERTAKES REED
HE WAS STRICKEN WITH THE HEAT
WHILE WORKING IN A FIELD.
Came Here with His Family Several
Days Ago from Dayton, O.-Hard
Luck Pursued His Family.

John Reed. of Dayton. o.. died yesterday

pital Reed was brought here several days
ago from Greenwood, where he and his
family had secured temporary employment
and had been saved from destitute circum-
stances. On the same day that Reed sue
cumbed to the fierce rays of the sun his
little three-year-old boy Paul, who was
also working in the field with his father,
was overcome by the heat and was taken
to the Eleanor Hospital, where he is now al
most recovered
Reed and his family have had a hard
time Of it lately, not being able to keep
the wolf from their door, for since their
advent into Indianapolis they have been
homeless. Reed came here from Day.
ton last week, with his family, consisting of
his wife, an eight-year-old boy named
George and the younger son Paul For
few days they visited family on West
Pearl street but this family could hardly
provide for themselves, and Reed with his
wife and children was left on his own re-
sources with neither money nor employ
ment and no probability of obtaining either.
GOT WORK FOR THEM.
An appeal for work was made to Mr.
Grout, OF the Charity Board, who secured
work for the family on an onion farm near
Greenwood. The husband. wife and two
children all worked together in the fields
in a heroic effort to better their condition.
After one day of work the father and
smaller boy were struck down by the sun
and the family was again brought to In
dianapolis- The two victims of the heat
were placed in the hospitals, the wife was
taken to the Home for the Friendless and
the other boy was placed in charge of the
Fresh Air Mission. Later Mrs. Reed found
employment at the Grand Hotel as a dish
washer.
Reed had been growing worse every day
and. in spite of the medical attention given
him. failed TO rally from the stroke. 1t was
several hours after his death before Mrs.
Reed could be found and notified. She
stated at the hospital last night that their
household goods were mortgaged and in
a storehOuse at Dayton, o., and that her
husband carried a $50 insurance policy.
She asked that her husband be buried at
Mount Jackson, where one of her children
was buried many years ago.
An effort will be made TO have the coun-
ty bear the expenses of Reeds funeral, so
that Mrs. Reed can use the insurance
money In removing the incumbrance from
her household property and have it shipped
here, where she can reinstate her family.

ELEVATION OF TRACKS.
Question Discussed by Representa-
tives of the New Road.


tives of the New Road.
The elevated track commission of the
Commercial Club met yesterday and dis
cussed the petition for franchise to enter
the city which was presented to the Board
of Public Works last week by the new In
dianapolis. Logansport e. Chicago Railroad.
The commission includes the following:
William Fortune, c. c. Foster, Louis Holl-
veg, s. E. Morss, Thomas c. Day and Ar
thur Gillette.
The commission was addressed by Quincy
A. Meyers, of Logansport, secretary Of the
company, and Charles n. Thompson and 1.
n. Richie. of this city. There was opposi-
ton expressed TO the elevation of the tracks
at this time, but no objections were made
to signing contract with the city agree
ing to elevate the tracks without protest
when a plan is adopted by the city. The
railroad representatives did not see the ne
cessity of elevating the tracks of the new
railway now, as it will enter the city over
low ground, and the cost of elevation would
be tremendous.
This road has several times petitioned to
enter Indianapolis and the Commercial Club
dealt with the question before many years
ago In 1894 the club refused to assist the
road in getting a franchise into Indianapo-
lis and even fought the petition. The COM
mltIee at tnal Ilme IOunO tndI the COM
pany's trains could enter over the tracks of
other roads, and recommended that the city
should adopt the plan of compelling new
roads to use the terminal facilities already
down. 1t was thought that such plan
would hasten the general adoption of ele-
waited roads. The Indianapolis. Logansport
& Chicago Railroad asked again in 1896 for
the right to enter the city, but, the condi-
tons being found the same by the commit
tee. the opinion Of two years previous pre-
vailed.
presented to the Board of Public Works
the report of 1894 city interests. The
Board of Works will meet the representa-
morning.

BRIDE DID NOT ARRIVE
MISS DOLLIE DOUGLASS MISSED HER
TRAIN IN ST. LOUIS.
Was ON Her Way tn Marry Leonard q.
Sargent in This City-Girl Not
Yet Located.

On account of the failure of the bride to
make her appearance in Indianapolis Leon
ard G. Sargent did not marry Miss Dollie
Douglass, of st. Louis on Tuesday night.
The arrangements had been made for the
wedding to take place in this city. and the
home in which the couple were to live had
been purchased and furnisheds Miss Doug
lass on Tuesday, in company with her
mother and an aunt of Mr.. Sargent went
to the Union Station in ST Louis prepared
to start for Indianapolis, but up to the
present time she has not been seen or heard
of here. At the station in St. Louis Miss
Douglass found that her baggage had not
been sent to the station. and with her
mother went in search of it, missing the
train, while Mr.. Sargent's aunt came on to
Indianapolis, expecting them to follow on
the next train.
In the crowd at the station Miss Douglass
and her mother became separated and since
that time she has not been heard of, and all
efforts to find her have failed. The st.
Louis police and detective departments are
making a search for her, and foul play is
suspected. In telegram to Mr.. Sargent
last night the father of the missing girl
stated that he had been unable TO locate
his daughter, but assured Mr.. Sargent that
every effort was being made to locate her.
He stated that he feared foul play, as his
daughter had no reason to hide herself
away in such a mysterious manner.
Leonard G. Sargent, who was to have
married Miss Douglass, went to st. Louis
yesterday noon, but up to a late hour last
night he had not communicated with his
father here.
The idea that Miss Douglass suddenly de-
cided that she did not wish to marry Mr..
Sargent is discredited by both families, and
l.. s. Sargent, the father IF young Sargent,
stated last night that there had never been
the least disagreement between Miss Doug
lass and his son. He said that he feared
the girl had met with some accident or was
being forcibly detained some place, but ex-
pressed a hope that the matter would be
cleared up within day or so.
