The new street limes, as changed by the CKy Council, will be used and then-will be complete references so that old aad new names may both be found. Obeying- Keei-to-Illsht Lntr.

A POLICEMAN'S SECRET OFFICER GOSOLIS, LEADING A DOl'DLB LIFE, DISAPPEARS. Ills Real aine Said to lie II ob Pathetic Letter to IIIh "Wife A Good nicer. When the name of Patrolman Frederick W. Gunsolus was reached at police roll call last night there was no response. The owner of the name has fled the city under very peculiar circumstances.

Gunsolus resided at 303 Blake street. Yesterday morning he went to Police Court and from there to the office of Superintendent Colbert. When he reached home his wife was preparing to make a call on some friends and had been expecting that her husband would accompany her, but when he returned so late, she knew he would need sleep and she did not urge him to go with her. She left home at a little after 12 o'clock and returned In time to prepare supper for him before he went to 7 o'clock roll call last night. When Mrs.

Gunsolus returned home she was alarmed to find that her husband was gone. The house In which they lived is a cottage one of a row of four Just eouth of North street on the east side of Blake. It contains only three rooms, which were ample for Mr. and Mrs. Gunsolus and their three-year-old adopted son.

The middle room was used as the bedroom and the front room was the parlor, containing a piano. In the front room Mrs. Gunsolus found her husband's uniform piled neatly on a chair. On the piano was his helmet, mace, whistle, keys, nippers and revolver. She noticed also that the washstand drawer in the middle room was open and in this found a note which partially explained her husband's absence.

The note was as follows: "Dear Wife After all these years of wedded life something has happened to me and I can't tell you or face you. and have kept you in Ignorance all this time. Go to Superintendent Colbert and he can or will tell you all, but I hope he will not do it. Tell him, for me, to sell my clothes and draw my pay for you, as I leave you without a dollar. Dear, take the baby and go to your mother.

She will take care of you and him. Try to forget me, for I am gone. Now don't worry after me and gome day I ma: be back. Tell Superintendent Colbert not to let this go any further, not for my sakj, but for your 6ake. Your Husband." The secret which Superintendent Colbert knows about Gunsolus has not yet been verified, and, even If true, does not furnish a reason why Gunsolus should have fled.

Several weeks ago a man, whoso name the police refuse to divulge, approached Sergeant Corrigun and told him that there was a man on the police force who was living here under an assumed name. The man said he did act know what name the man was going under; that he had met him on the street and that the officer had refused to recognize him. Later another man gave Corrigan the same information, and when Superintendent Colbert was told of the matter he had Corrigan make a complete Investigation. A STRANGER'S INFORMATION. The man who first gave the information was brought to Superintendent Colbert's office and he related a story, the substance of which follows: The police officer whom he had seen on the street had formerly lived at Lancaster, where he was born and raised.

His right name was William Roby, said the informant. Tho Informant said he had been a schoolmate of Roby and knew him. lie went on to say that Roby had married and that he had six children, after being married about twelve years. Suddenly, and without apparent cause. William lioby disappeared and had never been heard of since by his relatives and friends In Lancaster.

The informant says he had been away from Lancaster for some time, but he had heard that Roby'e wife had secured a divorce. It was Wednesday afternoon that Superintendent Colbert and this man had the conversation, and at 7-o'clock roll call the man was present and pointed out to the superintendent Frederick W. Gunsolus, whom he identified as William Roby. When Gunsolus came to roll call at 5 o'clock yesterday morning he found a note from the superintendent requesting that he call at the private office at 2 o'clock in the afternon. Gunsolus never surmised what was coming, and, as he had a case which took him to Police Court yesterday morning, he arranged to meet the superintendent directly after ccart.

It was 10 o'clock when Gunsolus faced Colbert alone in the latter's private office. After telling the atory just as it had been told him, Superintendent Colbert said to Gunsolus: "Is this true? If you say it is not. and, upon investigation I find that you are telling the truth, it shall not affect you in the least; but 1 must know the truth." Gunsolus was greatly agitated. During tho recital of the story he sat as one in a stupor. He bowed hi3 head as he rose and staggered from the room.

"It Is true, I suppose." he said, as he reeled out of the room, "but I don't know now. I don't know." Mrs. Gunsolus called at the police station as soon as she missed her husband, and was there again last night. The whole story was told to her by the superintendent. MRS.

GUNSOLUS' STORY. Last night she was found at her home. She was standing at the front gate In the rain, bareheaded. She is a woman of decidedly fine appearance, about thirty-five years old and with handsome features. She told of her married life, stopping occasionally to fight back tho tears and sometimes giving completely away.

She showed that she was suffering Intensely. "I was raised in Zanesville, she said, 'and met Mr. Gunsolus the first timo In 18S0 at Deadwood, Col. I was traveling with my father for his health. We met Mr.

Gunsolus at the hotel at Deadwood. He seemed to have considerable money and was apparently a man of leisure. Wc wanted to go to Fargo, and found that the stage was running only once a week and that there were already more passengers for the next trip than could be accommodated. We thought we would have a wait, but Mr. Gunsolus arranged with somo people to wait and let us go on the first stage.

It took a week to make the trip, and Mr. Gunsolus was with us. He traveled with us for two or three weeks. I afterwards corresponded with him and met him a year or so afterward in New York. Then ho went to Seattle, where he said he intended to invest his money In a venture that would either him rich or leave him penniless.

Welt. It must have had the latter result, for when, on Feb. 2. 1S3. we were married in holy church, in Cleveland, he had nothing.

"We came to Indianapolis in July. 1SS3. and Mr. Gunolu toun-1 work at hta trade as tinner with Pursell Metzger. and afterward with Samuel Laing.

1 do not kn6w what to think of hi leaving. It looks as if he were guilty of something terrible. I suppose it means that he has married me. with another wife living, and that the other woman did not get a divorce. But still I am surprised that he should have gone away as he did.

without letting me se him. He ousht to know me well enough to know that I will forgive him anything. I suppose ho felt that he had wronged nw and could not. as he said, face me; but I would like to tell him 1 am ready to stand by him. no matter what he has done.

He was always as kind and as good to me as he could be, and gave me everything possible within his resources. We have never had any children of our own. and last FH-ruary we adopted this little boy. We took him from the Botrd of Children's Guardians' Home, and Oh. I am afraid now thy wlll try to take him away from me.

Without him I am afraid I should go insane. He is such a comfort to me now." Mrs. Gunsolnft declined to tell her father's name. He had been dead seven years, sho said. She sail she would go to her mother, and thought she would probably hear from her husband there.

She was of the opinion that her husband had left for some point in the West. There was about 0 in th house, and he had taken 517 of it and two railroad mlleaRe books. The fact that Gunsolus had left his keys and revolver affected the wife. "A revolver would sem to be a thing desirable to a man starting out in the world." she sobtd. he has left it to show me that do not Intend to harm himself or anyone ele.

"I can hardly believe this story about my husband." she said when she became more ca'm and got to reasoning about the situation. "They say he was married and lived with the other wife twelve years, and hud six children v.hleh the oth-r woman has raised. Now. I don't know Fred's aire ex actly, but he can't be over forty-two years. That would make the story ridiculous.

But still he has fled." Sup ntend.nt Colbert said last night that Gunsoius had been an excellent officer during the time he was on the force, and a perfect gentleman. He was appointed last February. His brother officers speak in the highest terms of him. He was a man of quiet disposition, but fearless and energetic. The sergeants and captains say that ha was as reliable a man as any on the force.

During the completion of the monument Gunsolus, who was then engaged in the occupation of a tinner, was employed to put the copper sheathing on the top surface of the parapet Just below "Miss Indiana." LEE WELL KNOWN HERE YOUSO 3IAX OX AVIIOSE HEAD THE SPAMSH IIAVK SET A REWARD. Wore I.I tcht Artillery Uniform to Culm of I. S. Gordon-Active In Politics. Wellington Gray Lee, of Hornellsvllle, N.

whom the dispatches in yesterday's Journal mentioned as a man with a reward set upon his head by the Spanish, lived in this city two years ago and was quite well known. His frlend3 were apprehensive yesterday, after reading an account of the death of two Americans commanding dynamite guns, lest one of these bo Lee. Leo lived in Indianapolis about four years, having been employed by the Atlas Engine Works Company in superintending the erection of engine plants. He was ekilled in mechanics. During his residence here he was an active member of the Light Artillery and.

Indeed, is still on the company's roll. When he went to Cuba, it is understood he wore the Light Artillery uniform there. After removing to Hornellsvllle, N. he entered into partnership with his uncle, T. J.

O'Thatcher. in the real estate business, afterwards leaving for Central Americaand then returning to this country. Before joining fortunes with tho Cubans, he wrote to Dr. Robert T. Oliver, an officer in the Artillery, suggesting that he, too, go to Cuba, promising him the command of a machine gun battery.

Lee entered the patriots' army as a commander of a dynamite gun battery on account of his knowledge of mechanics. I. S. Gordon, of this city, is an uncle of the young man. Lee's friends in this city speak of him as a handsome young fellow, twenty-eight years old, very courageous and true as steel.

He took an active interest in Second ward politics, living at Seventh and Ash streets. In 1834. he was chairman of the reception committee of the Marion Club. He was also a writer of some local note. During the local miners' riots in the southern part of the State In 1894.

and the railroad strike at Hammond later, he served with the artillery in the field. JUDGE BAKER ON TRUSTS POINTS OPT HOW" EFFECTIVELY THEY CAX RE BROKEN UP. There I Full Power Not Only In State Legislatures but In the National Congress. The subject of anti-trust legislation by theVoming session of the Indiana Legislature is being agitated to some extent, and it is not unlikely that an effort will be made to pass some such measure. Judge John H.

Baker, of the United States District Court, whoso recent decision granting an injunction agiinst the Wire Nail Trust is supposed In many quarters to have precipitated the downfall of that combination, has some very clearly defined ideas upon the subject of trusts and anti-trust legislation. Two or three years ago Judge Baker made a decision in a trust case that was something of a departure. A combination had been formed to control the manufacture of one of the common necessities, and it brought an Infringement of patent suit in Judge Baker's court. The defendant showed that the plaintiff was a combination in restraint of trade, and the court ruled, without going into the merits of the patent contention, that, inasmuch as it was a combination with an unlawful purpose, it could have no standing in a court of equity, and must take Its grievance to a court of law. In the course of a conversation on the subject Judge.

Baker was asked if he thought there need be or could be State legislation to supplement and strengthen the Sherman anti-trust law of 1890. certainly think there can be," he replied. "But I certainly think also that the law of 1S00 can bo very greatly strengthened by congressional legislation. Its scope was greatly narrowed by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Knight case, where It was held that if the primary purpose of the trust was lawful any Incidental effect it might have In restraint of interstate commerce was not within tho scope of the law. That defect In the law can be remedied.

Congress is given a specific grant of power to regulate commerce between the States, with Indian tribes and with foreign powers. The courts could not declare unconstitutional a law enacted in the exercise of this power to prevent such combinations of capital as have. In the pursuit of a primarily lawful purpose, an Incidental or indirect effect of interrupting the flow of commerce between the States. "But the crying need of State legislation," continued Judge Baker, "lies in the fact that corporations, the creatures of the State, are permitted to absorb or combine with other corporations of like character, while the corporations of other States are permitted to come inland grasp property and corporate rights, crush out competition and interefere with free commerce. The only ground a corporation of another State has to ask to do business in this State upon is that of comity.

The Legislature has the unquestionable right to define limitations within which a corporation of another State may do business in this State, or to refuse it admission altogether. Tho Standard Oil Trust has spread over nearly every State in the Union, yet any State had the right to say that it should not come within its territory. A certain railroad that has given tho Federal courts more trouble than any other half-dozen roads is operating under a charter from Illinois. It came to Indiana and bought up a system of roads and went to Ohio and bought another: and yet if it is sued by a citizen it is a corporation of another State. "The Sugar Trust, clearly a combination in restraint of trade, a New Jersey corporation.

It has no home in New Jersey. All its offices and most of its properties are in New York. There were four other refineries, three in Philadelphia and one in Host on. These were lought up by this foreign corporation and the trade controlled. Yet when they endeavored to upset It the court held that, as the primary purpose of the corporation was lawful, the law could not reah Its incidental effect.

"If I had the making of State laws upon this subject I think the matter could be reached first by making it a criminal offense to organize these combinations in restraint of trade. Then the agents of the State, the prosecuting attorneys, might be required to bring civil suit to break up such trusts or combinations, and I do not think It would be too severe to require that the property of such combinations should be forfeited and sequestered to the State. The Legislature has the right to enact such laws, and I think they would be effective." High School Nevm. Tho Christmas number of the Silent Spectator, Issued by High School pupils, is out.

Famous Witness In Parker-McAfee Trial PoMtnonetf an Event Set for 111m Snack House' For three weeks past it has been announced among white and colored friends that John Venable was to be married, and the date was set for last night. John is designated by all who know him as "Hog-head," partly because he has a consuming appetite for that part of a swine's anatomy and partly because his own head has a peculiarly long shape.

Sometimes he is called "Chancy," in honor of his hairbrush whiskers, grown by nature in Depewlan style. "Hoghead" is the proprietor, manager and cook of a little cubbyhole restaurant, a "snack house," at the rear of Wes Stout's saloon, just below the tunnel on Illinois street. "Yes, suh, I'ze gwine to be married dis eb'nin foah suah; gwine to hab a crowd heah to take paht in de festlbilities," said "Hoghead," yesterday afternoon, and his "Chancys" scurried up and down his cheeks like grapevines in a wind, as smiles contorted his face into a cavernous opening. At each end of his lunch counter were placed diminutive Christmas trees, two cakes had been made especially for the occasion, and each tree stood guard over a wedding' cake, while over each window in the room was nailed a bunch of dead rabbits. "Nail 'em up high," said Hoghead.

as these emblems of plenty were being hung above the windows. "Der'll be plenty ob turkey an good things, but I doan' want my guests to swipe dem rabbits." "Do weddin am to take place at 8:30 o'clock," "Hoghead" told his friends, confidentially, "an de bride's name am Betty. She ain't got no othah name dat I knows ob, jes Betty, an she am a pippin foah suah. I'se a luck dog, I is," and again the "Chancys" got into action. Early in the evening Betty, the bride-elect, came to inquire if all arrangements were ready.

She was rather a comely looking young colored woman, and at her appearance "Hoghead" danced with joy "Deed, dey is. Honey, youah lubly child." asserted the happy possessor of "Chancys." "Where's the "Doan know; go out an gtt 'em." "Where'll I go?" "Wby. go 'round the theayters, 'gpect you 11 fin 'em there." and Betty departed to assemble the guests. Nine o'clock roiled around and Betty and the guests had failed to appear. The time lengthened to 10 o'clock and the two musicians, with their guitar and mandolin, were entertaining the men who had sauntered In from the saloon to witness the ceremony, but still Betty and the guests failed to come, and John had gone to sleep behind tha kitchen stove.

One ofthe men awakened him "Look here. when's this weddin goin' to come off?" "Soon's Eetty and the crowd comes," spluttered John, and was asleep again with the next breath. The music went on and John slept undisturbed, awakening once only long enough to kick the dog under the table for trying to snatch a piece of steak from a skillet on the stove. A rap at tho door about 11 o'clock heralded the entrance of the colored man and his wife who were invited guests. "The weddin's on." announced "Hoghead." and legaji rushing about the kitchen for chairs for his guests.

He salted the eatables in the process of stuck them with a fork; pulled an overcoat out of the corner of the room, kicked under it and his kitchen boy came out from its shelter, yawned and swore a couple of times under his breath. "Git to wuk. I'm goin' to be married soon's Betty an some moah ob de crowd comes," and John administered another kick which started -the boy into action. The dishes and pans flew and the two guests moved thjeir chairs back farther into the corner. I John gave the lady a boiled egg and her husband a sandwich to munch.

Suddenly Betty popped in at the door. "Wha's de crowd?" asked "Hoghead," as ho paused with a saucepan In his hands, and his "Chancys" stilled for the nonce. "Couldn't tin 'em," replied Betty with a Utter. "HOGHEAD" POSTPONES IT. "Hoghead" alted the cooking once more, jabbed it with a fork again, stirred the gravy a moment and then suddenly said, in the tone of one arriving at a conclusion after much deliberation: "De weddin' am postponed until nex Tuesday night." The musicians twansled the "Fatal Wedding," Betty sank into a chair and giggled, the preacher who had been silently sitting on a table all evening departed, John lavishly salted the cookery, then gave his late guest another hard-boiled egg, and the ceremony was formally declared off for the evening.

"Hoghead" is a character well known to the police in thi3 city, as well as in Cincinnati. Ten years ago he kept a restaurant in the latter place, which was located along the river bank, and was a resort known all over the city. During the riot that occurred in Cincinnati in 18S4 "Hoghead" is credited with having deliberately fired two loads from a shotgun into a police officer, killing him instantly. The officer had offended him, and he got the gun and shot him as he was walking along the street. He was sent to the peniteniary, it is said, but In some unaccountable way managed to secure a pardon.

He took part in any number of fights in Cincinnati, and soon after coming to this city established a reputation among tho police, as he has trouble every now and then. In one of his scrimmages his peculiarly-shaped head was cut open, but the wound healed, leaving a long, ragged scar extending across the back of his head. When "Hoghead" gets angry he always uses hot water if it is handy, and scalds his antagonists. He has made it warm for a number of "scrappers who have fought in his eatatory. No license was issued yesterday for the marriage, but "Hoghead" stoutly asserted that he had the license in his pocket ready, to use if the guests assembled.

Attorney Henrv Spaan cross-questioned Venable during the Parker-McAfee trial. "Didn't you kill a man in Cincinnati?" asked the attorney. "No. sah," replied Venable. "Are you "Do you mean to tell the court that you didn't shoot and kill a policeman at Cincinnati?" thundered Mr.

Spaan. "Oh. well, sah, dat was Jus a llceman I killed," answered the witness, deprecat-ingly. THE CHICAGO DELEGATION. Very Prominent Men to Come to the Currency Conference.

The question of introducing the grading system and partially doing away with the stripes was informally discussed. Warden Harley said he had written the attorney general upon the subject, but he had been unable to find any authority for the change. It is probable that a bill will be Introduced in the Legislature establishing the system, and it is not likely to meet any opposition. As a matter of fact, there is no statute requiring the use of stripes, this being a matter of detail and discipline that is left entirely to the prison management. HER DASH FROM A TRAIN A LAPORTE COUNTY DEPUTY SIIER-IFF LOSES A WOMAN' PRISONER.

Annie Retlker, Permitted to Smoke a Cigarette in a Toilet Room, Bolted through a Window. Gufrtav Bauch, a deputy sheriff from La-porte, called at the police station yesterday afternoon and sought aid in recapturing a prisoner who, he said, escaped from him on 'the train. Bauch was greatly excited as he told Superintendent Colbert his story. The prisoner was a woman, Annie Bedker by name, who was sentenced to the Woman's Prison from Laporte county for the theft of a watch. "When the sheriff asked me to bring her down here," he said, "he told me I had better take a pair of handcuffs, but I did not think I would need them.

We got along very nicely until nearly to this city. Then the woman asked permission to go into the toilet room to smoke a cigarette. She had beon a woman of fast ways and I knew that it would be but a short time until she would be where she would not have the privilege of enjoying her cigarette, and so I granted her the privilege." Superintendent Colbert and others who were In the office at the time exchanged looks as the deputy sheriff reached this point, but Bauch did not notice them and continued: "After a while I thought she' had smoked long enough. In fact I grew suspicious and I went and knocked on the door. I received no response and hunted up the conductor.

The door was unlocked and it was seen that the window was up. She must have jumped out of the window while the train was running at a rate of at least twenty miles an hour." Bauch said he missed the woman at Malott Park. He did not get off the train, nor telegraph anywhere that the prisoner might be captured, but rode into the Union Station. The train was express No. 23.

which arrived at the Union Station at 2:40 yesterday afternoon. Malott Park is the first station beyond the city limits, seven miles from the Union Station. "Why did you not go back over the track?" some one asked Bauch. "If the woman really jumped out of the window, as you say, the chances are that she is lying beside the track now." "Oh, I thought you people would be able to catch her for me." he replied. He then began a long tirade against the prisoner for the way she had treated him In escaping.

He seemed to think it was shabby treatment after the kindness he had shown her in not handcuffing her and In allowing her so much freedom on the train. Then some one suggested that it would be wise for him to telegraph to his superior officer at home and also to telegraph to several stations along the road whero tho woman might have left the train. "That's a fine officer." remarked a policeman when. Bauch had departed. "It is such men as that who cause the, public to judge officers of the law so poorly as they do.

Tho idea of letting a prisoner leave him to smoko a cigarette!" The escaped prisoner's description was given to the police at roll call and all officers were instructed to look out for her. She is about twenty-four years old and a decided blonde. Bauch attempted to describe a peculiarity of her nose, which, he said, was "a sort of long stub nose." Her dress was of worsted material, and she wore a hat with a black brim and white crown. Dunlap's celebrated hats and all other new style hats at Seaton's Hat Store.
