DAMAGE SUITS AGAINST
CITY RESULT FROM FLOOD
Residents on West Side Will File
Claims Amounting to Over
$4,000.
PAPERS ARE PREPARED
Back Water Is Charged to Have
Been Caused by Neg
ligence-
PAPERS ARE PREPARE

Trouble is in store for the city a re-
suit of the last flood I'm White river.
Residents OF the West New York-street
district that was under water for several
days are preparing TO file suit against the
city and the Indianapolis Traction and
Terminal Company for damages alleged TO
have been due to the negligence of the city
and street-car authorities.
So far at least thirty separate suits
are known to be in preparation asking
from $50 TO $500 damages, and aggregatng
a total of about $4,000. Attorneys who
will represent the complainants are Craig
& Pettijohn, Spencer. Ferris & Spencer and
Clarke & Clarke. Mr.. Craig is now pre-
pairing the complaints and the number may
be increased before they are filed.
The contention of the parties to the suit
against the city is that the overflow of the
West New York-street district was due to
backwater, caused by the lodging of drift
against the piling of the temporary wooden
bridge built by the street car company and
the city for use during the construction of
the new West Washington-street bridge.
This structure, they allege, acted as a
dam that backed the water up until it
rose over the levee at the foot of West
specific ground for complaint is that at the
time of the flood the wooden bridge was
so badly damaged as TO be utterly useless
and should, for that reason, have been de-
stroyed, removing the cause of the back
water. For failure 10 remove the bridge

damages

FREEZING WEATHER
COMES ON APRIL 10
Warmer Period Is, However,
Promised To-Day by the
Weather Man.

Freezing weather on April 49, while not
unprecedented, was at least so dsa gree
able yesterday as to put whole city in ill
humor and lead TO general expression of
the great longing that real spring come
again, and in a hurry. Even spring poetry,
IL is safe 10 say, would be tolerated if the
state of the weather and the temperature
were such that there would be some cause
for it,

perature was exactly 80, and throughout
the day chilly winds caused tightly but

o'clock last night the temperature was at
IS, and there was eonly the word of the
weather man TO give the hope that to-day
might bring better things. The official fore
cast of the local weather bureau yesterday
was for fair weather to-day, with slightly
warmer temperature.
Cold weather prevailed almost generally
throughout the northern part of the coun-
try yesterday and at many places the
thermometer dropped even lower than at
Indianapolis with furries of snow. At
Sault Ste. Marie the temperature dropped
to 10 above.

HIDDEN TREASURE CAUSE
OF AGED MANS DELUSION
Contest Over Will VIII Be Marked
by Testimony on Mans
Insanity.

For the third slime the trial of Mrs. Har-
riet Westfan vs.. Joseph Wait ct al. will
begin in Circuit Court this morning to set
aside the will of the late Carl Wait. for
merly a resident of Wayne township.
The grounds for the brea king of the will
of the deceased are that at the time of the
making Of the will he was of unsound mind.
In the previous trials il was shown by wit
nesses for the plaintiff that the deceased
for a long time before his death labored
under the delusion that there was a large
amount of gold buried on his premises b>-
the early Indians and that il was being re-
tanned there by a certain charm
One of the Witnesses testified that while
out riding with the deceased one dav thew
approached the place where the gold was
supposed To be buried. but that a neigh of
one OF the horses scared the charm away.

MERCHANTS AND HOSPITAL
PATIENTS FORGET FIRES
CONGREGATIONS of Sunday Morning
Are but Memories to Many
Sufferers.
SISTER MONICA STILL ILL

The occupants of st. Vincent's Hospital
and the merchants and business men having
rooms in the Occidental Hotel block are
rapidly recovering from the effects of sun
day mornings disastrous fires.
The only cause for delay in bringing the
latter out of their ENHANCEMENT is the fact
that in many cases the insurance adjusters
have not had time to complete their work.
Merchants who have been visited by the
adjusters say that generally the losses have
been placed at about what they were eSti
mated to be at first
Ferger's drug store, Burgheims jewelry
store and Raphaers millinery store have
opened for business. These stores front on
Washington street, and the latter two were
damaged more by smoke than anything
else.
Peter Floros. a Greek candy dealer. whose
goods were badly damaged by the fire, feels
that he is going to have more troubles than
anybody a result of the fire. He says
that the insurance adjuster who called on
him says that some of the candy, which
was only slightly damaged by water and
smoke, must be given value. FloroS con-
tends that it is total loss, and can in no
way be turned to account by him.
All or the patients at st. Vincent'S who
were affected by the fire and the attendant
confusion have entirely recovered from the
shock. and everything is running smooth
~ as before. The condition of Sister Mon
lea, however, still remains critical and on
account of her extreme age the hospital
attendants feel that her recovery is very
doubtful. Sister Monica is seventy-seven
years old, and has been connected with the
hospital since its erection.
Yesterday morning Coroner Tutewiler
heard the testimony of Night Porter James
Rutherford regarding the deaths of Stephen
Walters and Richard Metz. the two negroes
whose charred bodies were found in the
ruins of the Occidental Hotel.
Rutherford testified that he
WINGED that Walters'S body was in the ruins
and that he told captain of the fire de-
partment of his fears and the place in
which he thought ii would be found. The
captain. says Rutherford promised to in
vestigate the matter. but it is alleged, he
did not do
Further testimony of Rutherford was to
the effect that he repeated his fears to the
same captain Monday morning and asked
him to look for the mans body. He alleges
that the officer then talked TO the proprietor
of the hotel, but that the search did not
begin until o'clock in the evening

LIFE TENURE BESTOWED
UPON RABBI MESSING
Congregation at Hebrew Temple
Honors Venerable Divine with
Unusual Action.
FORTY YEARS SERVICE

Rabbi NJ. Messing, rabbi of the Hebrew
Temple, North Delaware street, for nearly
forty years, was given substantial evidence
of the regard in which he is held by the
members of his congregation on Monday
night, when they elected him to the office
he now holds for life.
The honor came to the rabbi as a COM
plete surprise. lie was invited to be pres
ent at special meeting in the temple, the
purport of which he knew nothing, and it
was then that the election took place.
In Hebrew churches, says Rabbi Messing
the rabbis are elected for periods of from
one to five years. In the last forty years
Rabbi Messing has been chosen at each
election.
The. Rev. Messing is sixty-one years old
and has resided in indianapolis for thirty
five years.
