IMPRISONED SWEDES. The Swedish Minister Calls Attention to the Cases of a Number of Mill Hands. Concord, N. H., July 3.—The Swedish and Norwegian ministers have called the attention of the Secretary of State of the United States to the arrests and imprisonment of Swedish emigrants by manufacturers’ corporations at Buncook. It appears that the companies have been importing help from these coun tries, and it is claimed by the corporations that the help owes the companies for their passage money, which the operatives deny. Investigation is now being made. Through some of their countrymen the arrested par ties sent a petition to the Swedish minister, setting forth that far away from their home, in anew country, whose language they cannot speak, and whose laws they do not understand, they have, on charges un known to them, been arrested and impris oned, and asking that they be released and allowed damages for false incarceration. The arresting officer says, however, that in every case an interpreter was furnished and the ac cused told that the charges were for debt and the arrests were made in the belief that they were about to Hee the State. Os the 165 Swedes which the Suncook cor porations received through the Inman steam ship line more than half have gone away, leaving the trades people creditors to the amount of a thousand dollars. It is stated that the corporations contracted for reliable help, but many of them were extremely un reliable, there being quite a number of insane persons, idiots and jailbirds. The Chicago Street Railways. Chicago. July 3 —The charters of the three Chicago street railway companies expire by limitation the present year, and under the original grant the city has the right to pur chase the roads at their appraised value. A proposed renewal of the charter has provoked a wide discussion, and a proposition has been made by ten capitalists to advance the money for the purchase of the roads and pay into the city treasury annually 10 per cent, of the gross revenue. The street railroad officials deny that such a proposition can be, or has been made. Their supposed willingness to accede the rights of the city to revenue from them is shown in an ordinance submitted to council last night, to pay a yearly license of SSO on each car operated, on condition that the charters are renewed for twenty year3. The ordinance was referred. High License in Missouri. St. Lotus, July 3.—There having been great diversity of opinion, not only among the city officials, but lawyers, as to whether what is kyown as the Dawing high-license law, passed by the Legislature last winter, applied to St Louis as well as other sections of the State, an agreed case was made up and presented to the Supreme Court. That court rendered a decision this afternoon that the law was not only constitutional, but applies to St. Louis. This settles the matter, and hereafter dram shop licenses in this city and State will cost about SI,OOO a year. It is expected that un der the operation of this law many low dog geries, where a large per cent, of crime is committed, will be forced out of existence, and that the entire traffic in liquor will be better regulated than ever before. Military Courtesies. New York, July 3.—The Lexington, Va., Cadets arrived here this morning. They were received by the Twenty-third regiment, of Brooklyn, and escorted to their quarters. They bring the flag of the One-hundred-and fifty fourth New York regiment, which was cap tured during the rebellion, and will formally present it to the mayor and city government to-morrow. No New York citj r military took part in the reception or escort to-day. Obituary. Detroit, Mich., July 3.—Lieutenant-colo nel Francis U. Farquhar, engineer corps, United States army, died in this city this afternoon, after an illness of only three days. He had charge of the government works from the mouth of Detroit river to Sault Ste. Marie. He was one of the most promising officers in the service, and had not yet reached the age of fifty. He leaves a wife and three children. The Custer Monument. Montello, Wis., July 3.—The granite shaft which is to mark the spot where Custer and the seven companies of the Seventh United States cavalry laid down their lives, was shipped to Montana yesterday. The monu ment consists of a cube of Montello granite, four and one-half by five and one-half feet, resting on a base of the same material. It is inscribed with 1,400 letters, the names of the slain. The Chicago Herald’s Libel Suit. Chicago, July 3.—The libel suit of E. J. Lehman, who conducts a sort of “Cheap John” store on a very large scale, against the Chicago Herald for derogatory statements re garding his reputation, which lias been on trial for two weeks, concluded to day with a verdict "for $25,000 damages against that paper.

One Hundred Persons Supposed to Have Peea Drowned—Fatal Accident to a Tram-Car. The Cholera Epidemic In Egypt Spreading with Fatal Effect. The Situation Fetween Pern and Chili- Two Villages Swallowed Up by au Earthquake on the Isthmus* ENGLISH CATASTROPHES. A Vessel Just Launched Sinks, with a Loss of One Hundred Lives. London, July 3, —Intelligence has just reached here of a terrible calamity during the launch of the steamship Daphne, at Glas gow. to-day. While being launched she fell over on her side, precipitating a number of people into the water. According to the dis patches thus far received sixty persons were drowned. Further particulars of the calamity at Glasgow state that the Daphne, which was constructed for the coasting trade, is a vessel of 500 tons burden. Two hundred workmen were on board when she capsized. The acci dent occurred in the middle of the river Clyde, after launching. It is not exactly known how many persons were drowned, but it is feared the number will reach over one hun dred. Later dispatches from Glasgow say the Duphne capsized near Renfrew, five miles from Glasgow. Traffic in the Clyde is sus pended owing to the interruption to naviga tion by the upset ship. The Daphne left the ways at a very fast rate, and when she gained the water, she rolled from side to side. Persons on board feared she would upset, and ran to and fro. The vessel finally reeled over and nearly disappeared beneath the water. Those who had maintained their positions on that portion of the steamer not sub merged did their utmost to save those 'who were cast overboard. At the same time other boats pulled to help in the work of rescuing the unfortunate people, and suc ceeded in saving quite a number. It is known, however, that there were fifty per sous below in the Daphne when the vessel went over, and they must all have been drowned. Crowds of grief-stricken relatives of the victims are flocking to the scene of the calamity, Another dispatch from Glasgow says the cause of her capsizing was that she had too ranch top weight. Steamers are dragging the water for bodies of victims. The Daphne had all her machinery on board when she was launched. A later dis patch from Glasgow says that many ot the persons who were precipitated into the water swam to the shore. The Daphne turned upside down before she sank. An eye-witness saw a great number of men struggling in the water and shrieking for help, and many were bruised and covered with blood, having been struck by debris. Accounts of the number of persons on board and the number lost continue to vary widely. Several bodies were found at the foot of the ways, and divers are searching for other bodies. Fifty-two names are published as those of missing persons. As visitors were admitted to view the launch, it is believed that some of tiiem, names unknown, are among the missing. Many dead bodies are visible through the port-holes of the ship. There was a rapid ebb tide, and it is feared that many bodies were carried to the sea. There were a large number of boys on board. Fore man Joiner, who had charge of twenty workmen, says he has only seen three of his men since the accident. The passage, by the sunken ship, is unimpeded for small ves sels, but dangerous for large Atlantic steam ers. A number of men at the shipyard on the ouposite side of the river, who witnessed the disaster, but who were unable to render any assistance at the time, say the whole occu f>ied about three minutes. They immediate y set to work to help the people struggling in the water. They say some of the men cn the Daphne jumped overboard, and others were thrown overboard; that a quantity of loose fitting fell from the deck and crushed many unfortunates struggling in the water. A number of swimmers were visible directly after the ship capsized, but many of them were afterward seen sinking. Six were seen clinging to gether. Four endeavored 10 climb upon the steamer as she was sinking, but were forced to desist by a rush of steam from a porthole. Some climbed upon the keel just Defore the ship was submerged. According to statements of witnesses and survivors of the disaster, the vessel left the slip too rapidly, causing her stern, which en tered first, to sink deeply in the water. She was then caught by the strong current of the river, by which, as well as by her top weight, she was caused to keel over so far that the water entered her ports. The last report from the scene of the disaster states that seven bodies were identified. A diver states that the companion-way of the Daphne is blocked up by a 9olid mass of bodies, one upon another. It appears that the men who were at work below when the ship went over rushed from their work and became jammed in the passage-way. Some bodies still have tools in their hands. The diver thinks that there are still in the vessel at least as many corpses ns have already been recovered. Forty-one bodies were found last night, when darkness stopped the search. The divers say they felt many moie bodies. A Train-Car on an Incline Upsets. London, July 3. —At Huddersfield, to-day, while a steam tram was descending an in cline the brake attached to it failed to work, and the car was upset and two of the occu pants killed and thirty injured. Some of the latter are in a precarious condition and jt is feared they will die. THE CHOLERA. Its Spread in Egypt—Efforts to Stay Its Course. Alexandria, July 3. —There were twelve deaths at Mansurah and four at Saraaroud, yesterday, from cholera. Traffic between Port Saul and Syria has been prohibited, INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 4, 1883. owing to the outbreak of cholera at the former place. A panic prevails at Jiddah because of the expected arrival there of five steamers from India with pilgrims on their way to Mecca. It is feared they have the germs of cholera. The sanitary council has ordered the pop ulation of Damietta to be removed from their dwellings and scattered intents. The infected quarter of the town will be partly disinfected and partly burned. Precautions To Re Taken In Germany. Berlin, July 3.—The Nord Deutsch Zeit ung, the organ of Bismarck, says the govern ments of Germany and Prussia are devoting earnest attention to the subject of cholera. Commissioners are to assembly at once in conjunction with the imperial board of health to deliberate on precautionary meas ures. Will Not Propose an International Con ference. London, July 3.— Lord Edmund Fitz maurice, Under Foreign Secretary, stated in the Commons this afternoon that the government had no intention, for the present at least, of proposing an international con ference on the subject of quarantine against cholera. PERU AND CHILI. Terms of the Treaty of Peace—Chili Pre pared to Withdraw. Panama, June 23.—The Chilians are mak ing preparations to evacuate the north of Peru and hand it over to Iglesias, who is rapidly rising in public esteem. The princi pal provisions of the treaty are as follows: The absolute cession of Tarapaca; the fate of Aiica and Tacna to be decided by a plebiscite after ten years’ military occupation by Chili, the losing nation receiving $10,000,000 from the country acquiring the property. Chili to pay over to Peruvian bondholders one half of the net proceeds of the guano taken from the deposits now know to exist in the ceded territory, those that may be hereafter brought to light to be the ex clusive property of Chili. Private interests held in nitrate deposits will be respected by Chili. Indemnity to be paid to the Chilian’s who suffered losses through expulsion from Peru will be discussed at some future time. Chili will give to Peru one-half the net pro ceeds obtained from guano at the Lobos is lands. Municipal and other Peruvian authorities in different towns throughout the north have been notified by the Chilians that they are prepared to withdraw from all points where Iglesias is recognized. Calderon’s Opinions. Lima. July 3. —La Tribuna publishes a let ter from Adolfo Ybanes, urging Calderon to accept the same terms of peace as Iglesias, and thus obtain, through Mr. Logan, the recognition of his government. Calderon, in reply, does not believe the United States government will recognize Iglesias, nor adopt so variable a policy, and adds that he has told Mr. Logan he is willing to treat for peace upon a rational basis. Pacasmavo, Trujfllo and other places have been evacuated by the Chilians, and the Pe ruvian flag is flying. CHAMBORIVS ILLNESS. Making a Desperate Struggle for Life—Hl Friends Present. Paris, July 3. —The Duke de Nemours and Duke d’Alencon have gone to Frohsdorff, the residence of Count de Chambord, with Count de Paris. Large crowds Were present this morning at the churches in which masses were said for the recovery of the Count from his present critical illness. The Duke de la Rochefocauld-Besancon and Prince de Leon are at Frohsdorff. A messenger who reached here to-day from Frohsdorff, brought word that the physicians in attendance on the Count have little hope of his recovery. His mind is clear. Count de Chevigne arrived in Paris this morning, direct from Frohsdorff. He says the Count was making a desperate struggfe, and may last some days, but his recovery is impossible. He vomits everything he takes into his stomach, is much emaciated and ex tremely weak. His Case Hopeless. Paris, July 3. —The physicians attending Count de Chambord, at a consultation last night, decided his case hopeless. A state ment is published that the members of the Orleans family have gone to Frohsdorff only to fulfill family du,ty. It is asserted that Count de Chambord has received the Papal blessing. VOLCANO AND EARTHQUAKE. Two Villages Swallowed Up in the Isthmus of Darien. Panama, July 3.— The volcano of Omet phe, on Lake Nicaragua, is in eruption. When the crater first broke forth the people fled to the churches, feeling that the whole island would be destroyed. The valley of the Atrnto, in the state of Cauca. continues to be the center of volcanic activity. At Rio Sucio, forty miles from the Atlantic, the eartfc opened in many places, throwing out very fine sand in a heated state, while a sub terranean noise was heard, resembling that made by boiling water. At Turbo, on the Gulf of Uraba, the earth opened and water issued, flooding the streets to a depth of two feet, and many houses were shaken down. The small villages of Bujuies and Nicuraco were completely engulfed. The mouth of the river Leon, which emptied into the At lantic, is completely closed up, and all over the district the movement of earth i9 so con tinuous that the inhabitants are emigrating. A slight earthquake was felt at Mompos, on the river Magnalena, state of Bolivia, fol lowed by a sharper one, when shocks were also felt at San Salvador and Guayaquil. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Opening of the Cork Industrial Exhibition in Grand Style. Cork, July 3.—The industrial exhibition, covering three and a half acres and includ ing the British, continental and American exhibits, was opened by Earl Bandon to-day j in the presence of a vast crowd. Some i trouble was expected, and the police were posted among the people. Perfect order, however, was maintained. A large proces sion of the trades, with bands playing the i national airs, marched to the building. T. I). Sullivan and E. Dwyer Gray and the mayors and members of many city corpora tions were present. Religious Riot. London, July 3.—A religious riot broke out in Belfast vesterdav. The police charged and dispersed the mob. Some of the police wep seriously injured. Cable Notes. The tribunal of Tournai decided to try for breach of trust Canon Bernard, who carried off funds of the Catholic church to America. Forty-five journalists, representing Europe and America, attended a fete at Zurich on Monday. The festivities included an exhi bition regatta, illumination, etc. Notwithstanding denials, the Curia differs from the Propaganda in regard to Ireland. Owing to the action of Errington, inquiry has been sent to Cardinal McCabe whether he is well enough to come to Rome. SPORTING MATTERS. Exciting Races at Chicago, in Which the Favorites Were Beaten.

A Coin That at One Time Was Above Par, but Which at Present Is a Finan cial Outcast. Shall Lottery Companies Be Permit-- ted to Use the Mails? Hearing in the Case of the Louisiana Com pany Set for Thursday Gossip About the Hill Investigation, THE TRADE DOLLAt History of the Coin, and How It Came Into General Circulation. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 3.—ln view of the pres ent agitation in reference to the trade dol lar, the following history of the coin will be of general interest. This information was furnished to the Journal by the then acting Director of the Mint (Mr. R. E. Preston) and was published in this paper Aug. 23, 1878. The statement is as follows: The trade dollar was authorized to be coined by the act of Feb. 12, 1873, and was not intended for circulation in the United States, but for export to China. That em pire possesses no mint for the coinage of gold and silver, and depends upon foreign coins for its circulation. Until the institution of the trade dollar the principal shipments of coin to China were in the form of Mexican dollars. The trade dollar was designed to compete with the Mexican dollar, and there fore was made a trifle more valuable, about two mills per piece, thus not only affording a market for the surplus silver of the mines on the Pacific coast, but furnishing merchants and importers from China with silver in a convenient form for payment for commodi ties, instead of their being obliged to pur chase Mexican dollars for that purpose. At the time of the passage 01 the act au thorizing the coinage of the trade dollar, sil ver bullion was worth in London about 59 15-16 pence per ounce, British standard, at which rate the bullion or intrinsic value of a trade dollar was 103.47 in gold. Fluc tuations in the value of silver were not so wide at that time as in subsequent years, and taking the average value for the year 1873, the trade dollar was intrinsically worth 102.03 ii\ gold. This fact was alone sufficient to keep these coins effectually out of circula tion, and insured their use for the purpose for which they were intended. The act above mentioned made them, however, a legal tender, in sums not exceedingss in any one payment, which limited their use in cir culation after the fall in the price of silver reduced their bullion value below their nom inal value. As the price of silver continued to fall rapidly, and trade dollars were being circu lated to a considerable extent in the Pacific States, Congress; by a joint resolution of July 22, 1876, abrogated the legal-tender quality of the trade dollar. At this time—July, 1873 silver had fallen to the lowest price on rec ord, and the bullion value of a trade dol lar was only 80.07 cents in gold; it afterwards rose rapidly, and in December of the same year the bullion value ot that piece was 101 cents gold. Since that date the* fluctuations in the value of silver bullion, and conse quently of the trade dollar, have not been so great, and have been comprised within a range of 11 cents to the dollar. Under the coinage act which authorized the coinage of trade dollars, these pieces were coined for depositors of silver bullion at the mint, and a charge imposed for coinage at a rate not to exceed the actual cost to the government of manufacture. By this act any owner of silver bullion could have the same coined into trade dollars. They, therefore, were not issued or paid out by the govern ment in payment of obligations, or exchang ed for other money. It may be readily seen that whenever the price of silver fell to a point at which the bullion value of the trade dollar, added to the cost of coinage to the depositor, was less than its face or nominal value, it could be placed in circulation at a profit, by speculators, to the extent of its legal tender. The joint resolution repealing the legal tender of the trade dollar also empowered the Secretary of the Treasury to limit its coinage to the actual export demand, but this was not sufficient to prevent depositors of silver for returns in these coins diverting them from their true object and placing them in circulation, and their coinage has since been entirely suspended by order of the Secretary of the Treasury. Most of the pieces in circulation east of the Rocky mountains have been coined and placed in circulation since the passage of the act repealing the legal tender of the trade dollar. Ic cannot, therefore, be right fully charged “that the government has perpetrated a swindle 011 the people in put ting the trade dollar out as a dollar and then marking it down to ninety cents;” for the fact is that the government has endeav ored to keep the trade dollar in its lawful and proper channel, and that from ignorance of the law relative to this coin, parties have taken them in ordinary business transac tions, when they could have been lawfully refused. ABUSE OF TIIE MAILS. The Case of the Louisiana Lottery —Legal Decisions Bearing on the Case. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Washington, July 3. —Since the Postmas ter-general announced his intention of breaking up the monopoly of the mails en joyed by the Louisiana Lottery Company the “postal lottery’’ scandal has been very generally discussed. The failure of previous attempts to shut the mails against this pow erful and unscrupulous “skin” concern is frequently recalled, and the opinion is haz arded in some quarters that the company is strong enough to beat the Postmaster general in his own department, it having succeeded, in some way, to secure not only immunity front interference, but official recognition of legitimacy through three ad ministrations. It is extremely improbable, however, that the occult influence that has heretofore operated to prevent the exclusion of Louisiana lottery matter from the mails will serve now. In discussions upon this question latterly, the fact seems to have been lost sight of that the Supreme Court of the United States rendered a decision having a direct and very important bearing on the question at issue, viz.; the PRICE FIVE CENTS. power of the Postmaster-general to exclude lottery matter from the mails. In 1877, in ex parte Jackson (6 Otto, page 727) the court held that “The right to designate what shall be car ried through the mails necessarily involves the right to determine what shall be ex cluded.” Also: “Whilst regulations excluding matterfrom the mail cannot be enforced in a way which would require or permit an examination into letters or sealed packages subject to let ter postage, without warrant issued upon oath or affirmation, in search for prohibited matter, they may be enforced upon competent evidence of their violation, obtained in other ways; or from parties receiving the letters or packages; or from agents depositing them in the postoffie, or others cognizant of the facts. “in excluding various articles from the mails the object of Congress has not been to intiriere with the freedom of the press or with any other rights of the people; but to refuse facilities for the dis tribution of matter deemed injurious to pub lic morals.” “AU that Congress meant by this act [referring to section 3,894 of the Re vised Statutes] was, that the mails should not be used to transport such corrupting pub lications and articles, and that any one who has attempted to use the mails for that pur pose should be punished. “The same inhibition lias been extended to circulars concerning lotteries —institutions which are supposed to have a demoralizing influence upon the peo ple.” The first act looking to the exclusion of lottery matter from the mails was passed by Congress in 1868. As originally passed, sec tion 3,894, the section upon which the de cision quoted is based, provided that “no letter or circular concerning illegal lotteries, so-called gift concerts,” etc., should be car ried through the mails. As amended by act of July, 1876 the word “illegal” was stricken out, and the law made to apply to all lottery companies. By oversight or intent, the word “fraudu lent,” which appears in sections 3,929 and 4,041 of the Revised Statutes, authorizing the Postmaster-general to order postmasters to return to the remitters registered letters and postal money-orders sent to lottery agents or representatives, was left undisturbed. These two sections last referred to are subsidiary to section 3,894, however; but there has been a hesitancy on the part of the Postoffice De partment to decide against the Louisiana Lottery Company, which has insisted that the law does not apply to it, for the reason that it is a corporation, operai ing under a charter granted by the State of Louisiana, and therefore not “fraudulent.” It is for the Postmaster-general to de termine what his powers are in the premises, and incidentally whether a State charter will give a concern authority to use the mails in violation of a United States law. Post master-general Howe leaned to the belief that it could, judging from a letter once written in reply to an inquiry upon the subject, but Judge Gresham has inti mated that he entertains views to the contrary, and that a State charter is no protection to persons doing business under the authority of provisions in conflict with the laws of Congress. In a former dispatch the estimate placed on the annual business done by the New Orleans concern was $1,250,000. That is far below the mark. It amounts to $(*,000,000, a large part of which is forwarded to the company’s agents through the mails by “suckers.” Judge Gresham will hear argument in the case on Thursday.

THE NEW CRUISERS. Dissatisfaction at the Award Among Disap pointed Bidder* Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Washington, July 3. —The unsuccessful ship-building firms that entered into competi tion for the building of the new steel cruis ers are making a feeble kick over the award of the cont racts to John Roach Cos., who are $315,000 lower than the next lowest bid der, William Cramp A Son, and $774,000 be low the naval board’s estimate. The disap pointed bidders claim that Roach can’t build the cruisers for the money and do it honest ly; but as he gives bond in the sum of $1,250,- 000 that he can, he will be allowed to go right on. John Roach is understood to have a corner in steel, so that if he had not been' the lowest bidder, he could have forced him self in or compelled the successful bidder to give up for lack of material. LOTTA’S MARRIAGE. It Is Wrapped in Mystery—Efforts to Pene trate It. Bpeetal to the Indianapolis JournaL Washington, July 3. —The reported mar riage of Lotta to O. E. Huss, her English mash, in this city, last night, is involved in mystery, and doubt exists as to whether it was Lotta after all. She is supposed to be in Europe, and if she really turned up here she must have stolen a march on everybody. The marriage license is regular, but neither Huss, Lotta nor the marrying parson can be found. The affair is creating considerable excitement. Huss is the Briton who saved Lotta’s life in Lake George. The story is that he came here to wed a department clerk, but changed bis mind and married Lotta, who turned up at the right moment* THE HILL INQUIRY. A Case That Promises to Last a Long Time— How It Is Conducted. WaHliinjTton Special. Tiie Murcb-Hill investigation bids fair to last longer than tiie celebrated star-route cases. It was a long time in getting started off, hut it seems to have let itself out on a most extensive scale. The charges and speci fications have been shifted twoor three times already. The investigators are on the search for every-hing under the sun connected in any way with Hill’s administration of the office. The architect’s office itself is necessa rily thrown upside down: The record roon\ i.-j piled full of books, and the clerks havo dropped all work and are devoting them-

2 selves day and night to the investigating com mittee. It must be remembered tiiat there are hundreds of books of record of various kinds, including copy-books containing let ter-press copies of orders, contracts, com plaints, increases and modifications and re ductions. There is a perfect labyrinth of testimony to go through, and it will take a full year logo through it all on the plan laid out by the March complainants. What is ail this going to amount to, is the question already asked. The committee is already dis gusted, but it has got hold of a poker that is red hot at both ends, and they can't drop it. No matter how honest this committee may be, it is sure to catch nail Columbia if it brings in a verdict for Mr. Hill. It would also be subjected to the same criticism should it refuse to go the full length required by the prosecutor. “What the committee should have done.” said a prominent Treasury of ficial, unconnected with the architect’s office, to-day, “was to limit the investigation to a certain line of specific charges. It should have required these charges to he specified and in writing, and then furnished all the evidence that the books furnished with refer ence to these particular charges. Unfortu nately,” continued the same official, “the committee, in fear of public condemnation, have branched opt on an investigation simi lar to that known as the Potter investiga tion. Why. there is no end to it.” The examination itself is interesting. As sistant Secretary New, the chairman of the. investigating committee, sits at a desk, facing a long array of short-hand reporters. Coun selor Coleman. for inany vears a law partner of the late Senator Matt. Carpenter, of Wis consin, and trie prosecutor,ex-Representative Murcti, the Maine stone-cutter. On the right, of Mr. New sit liill and his counsel. ex-Col lectorJohn L. Thomas, of Baltimore. The latter is exasperatively cool and taunting in iiis manner. But Mr. Coleman is'more than a match for him. ami, to quote one amused spectator, “wipes tip the floor with hint at every opportunity A number of lenther rovered chairs, aud two or three lounges ot the same material, are scattered about the room, and such of the spectators as are for tunate enough to obtain the seats dispose of themselves regardless of appearances. 15very sally of wit from Mr. Coleman provokes an acrimonious reply from the counsel on the other side, and when there is a scarcity of complimentary allusions, Assistant .Secretary New will lean over and in a dry, humorous way encourage the disputants. The desire to witness this daily circus has become so urg ent that Chief Clerk Webster has opened the door which is between him and Mr. New, and this locality is also thronged. GKNKItAL NEWS The Increased Work In the Pension Depart ment. Washington.

Effort* to Save MJor Wasson from Hi* Sen tence of Imprisonment. Galveston, Tex., July 3.—A San Antonio special says the members of the court nmriial recommend Wasson to the mercy of the reviewing authorities. It is whispered that after the finding had been approved by the reviewing officers at Washington, and pending transmission of the papers to the President, the question of striking out the term of servitude in the penitentiary was discussed by party managers, and it was agreed tiiat in view of the approaching presi dential contest it would be imprudent for Mr. Arthur to exercise his pardoning power in Wasson’s case in face of the latter’s plea of guilty to the charges and specifications, ami his statement. An effort is in embryo to contest the finding of the court on the ground that several of the detail were not legally qualified to serve. The matter is in the hands of a prominent law firm of San Antonio, and it is now known a process will be issued to stay sentence after the receipt of the official papers. Friends of the accused hope for clemency should the finding be re moved to the civil courts, as such a course will postpone the final decision anti 1 after the presidential election.

Delegates from the Eastern States are generally advocating protection, and the Western delegates free trade. While it is confidently asserted by the delegates that the platform for the new national party will be adopted, it is evident that many of those attending hold widely diverging views on the various questions, and it remains for the actual proceedings of the convention to determine what the proposed new party will advocate, and with what unanimity those at tending as delegates will subscribe to the views embodied in the platform.

An Interesting: Chat with a Famous Chicago Preacher. Interview on a Railway Train. “Why do you have so few ministers of or iginality and force, men who make their mark as great preachers?” said the corre spondent. “Too little life and too much learning, sir; too little blood and too much education. A man makes a great mistake when he sacri fices life’s forces for books. Generous life in creases the power of thought, and good health keeps it fresh and creates originality,” was the quick and earnest response. “Does Europe or America have the greatest ministers?” “America by all odds. It has several su perior to the best there are in England. The 1 old world has not one that can compare with Henry Ward Beecher. He is the great est preacher on the planet. If his superior ever lived I have never heard or read of him.” “Does Spurgeon approach him?” “No, sir. In no particular, if I can under stand what a great minister is. He lacks the very elements that make Mr. Beecher great.” “What are they?” “In the first place Henry Ward Beecher is the most human man I ever knew. He gets near the people rather than above them. His generous bodily force keeps his great mind bright and makes him fearless. No man will or perhaps can express himself with the simplicity, originality, eloquence, and courage that Mr. Beecher does. The struggles of his early life may have had much to do with this and his later successes. They may have made him the natural man he is. Great as he is I love him for his simple tastes aud his courage. I ad mire a man who .ver gets great enough to refuse toexptess his opinion upon small sub jects. There is a g/aal deal in the simple fact that Mr. Beecher will savin a great com pany, ‘I love apple-pie and like to farm by lying, during the summer months, under uu apple-tree and going to sleep’ “You began life, L)r. Collyer, like Mr. Beecher, in a humble positiou in the West?” “No. I did not begin at the West, but went there early. I came to America about 1850, and landed in Philadelphia, in search of a job. I was a mechanic, and got a situa tion in a hammer shop at Shoemakertown. on the outskirts of the Quaker City. For nine years I made hammers in that shop, when I went to Chicago as a missionary, at a salary of $1,200 a year. Both tne and mine had been taught to live frugally, for I had made only about $9 a week in the hammer shop. So my salary of $1,200, upon which I went West, gave me the means to live com fortably. Therefore you see I did not have the hard struggle, after I went to*Chicago, that Mr. Beecher did when he began in In diana.” Did you have a regular church?” “No, I did general missionary work among the poor, establishing Sunday-schools, etc. i recall an amusing incident that happened soon after I reached my post. I had gather ed together a littie Sunday-school. Many of the children belonged to the families of Ger man emigrants. One day I received from some of the church dignitaries a long list of questions about my work, which I was to answer and return. The first was: “‘What is the present condition of your Sabbath-achool, and what does it most need at the present moment?’ “Under this question I wrote this answer: ‘Windsor soap, crash towels, and fine tooth combs.’ “The rest of the questions were in the same general vein, and I understand the dignitaries w’ere very much shocked at my temerity.” “How long did you continue in that church afterward?” “Not long. In Chicago, on what is called the North Hide, a few Unitarians had a small church. The minister went away, and 1 was invited to go over ami take temporary charge. I did not know I was out of the Methodist church then, but after a while found I was. Finally, besides looking after the church mission, I preached one Sunday. These high-toned Boston people who had moved out into that new country and set up to do its business wondered. 1 was rather a rough-looking niun, a me chanic, and my hands were hard, red and calloused from work. They said: ‘How strange; why, this man can preach.’ They were satisfied and I kept on. The church grew, and I saw that little flock increase from a handful to one of the largest con gregations in the land. It finally built the most beautifully constructed church in the country,at a cost of $210,000. It was destroyed in the Chicago fire. They rebuilt it again, and I staid there until about four years ago, when I accepted a call to New York. It was the greatest struggle of my life to leave my friends in Chicago ami come East, but 1 thought it for the best.” There was something of sadness in the great preacher's remarks about his change, and he seemed to dwell with great earnestness upon the story of hislife in the chief city of the West. “Have you any desire to return to England to remain?” “Oh, no. It was a strange geographical blunder that I was born on the other side of the ocean. It was the month of May when I carue across and landed in Philadelphia. As H came up the green-wooded banks of tlie Delaware I thought the land of Pennsylvania the most beautiful country I had ever seen. Never for a single moment since I landed in that city,a poor mechanic, hunting for work, have I thought of returning. I could go back on good terms. You know the story of the bov with the hatchet: “A lad was cutting away one day with a new hatchet, the maker of which stood near him. The steel came off, when the boy call ed to his master and said: ‘The steel has dropped off this hatchet.’ “‘Never mind, lad; whale ’way,’ was the reply. ‘I have got ray name up.’ A hearty laugh followed this sally, in which Mr. Collyer joined, and after it had subsided he said dryly: “A man can go anywhere when he gets his name up, you know. “No; I like to cross the water occasionally, but America is ray country. There are many things here to attract me to it. The old shop at Shoemakertown, where I made hammers for nine years, is still standing, and a number of workmen who worked with me are living yet. Igo down every year to visit the old place and my old associates. Many of them come to see me. It does one good to renew early associations. I have been there within a month making my an nual visit.” A Collision. This morning about half-past 2 o’clock a C.. H. A D excursion trnln backed Into au I.

THE SUNDAY QUESTION. the President of the Louisville, New Albany Chicago Railway on the Running of Sunday Trains. '+ublishel in Chicago Railway Age. Some weeks since I. felt impelled by vari ous reasons to order the discontinuance upon the Louisville, New Albany Chicago rail way, as far as possible, of all labor on the Sabbath day. This order was not the result •}f an impulse, nor was it issued without the expectation of sharp criticism and even un kind misconstruction; it was made because I considered it right, viewed either from a religious, political or practical standpoint It has provoked more discussion than I an ticipated, but the expression of a necessity tor a day of rest on the part of other rail way managers has been to me exceedingly gratifyiug. While admitting that this is an age of in tense practicability, and that, in the hurry and drive of the people of our country, many are disposed to forget all other con siderations than those of gain, this discus sion has demonstrated that upon one ground or the other there is deep-seated in the minds of the business men of this country a desire to observe a day of rest. For one. Ido not hesitate to say that I consider the Sabbath a divine institution, and that a disregard of the day is a violation of God’s command, and that the mere factof operating a railway lor public necessity is no excuse for the dis honor done to the precept of our Maker. While I have no desire or intention to force my particular religious views upon any corporation or its employes, in this Christian country, under the laws drawn largely from the inspiration of Christian training and command, I do not think that Christian rail way manageis can ignore divine teaching on the subject. Every State in the Union has laws requiring the observance of the Sab bath. Such laws are hoary with age and honored by the experience of the wisest and best of our race. Taken, then, in a religious or municipal light, there can be no discussion of the sub ject. The laws of God and the laws of man nre conclusive on this point, forbidding labor on the Sabbath*day; and every railway man ager operating a road on that day violates human and divine command, and by forc ing his emloyes to do the same sets before them a continual example and practice of the disregard of the highest obligations. There is nothing in the business of rail ways which in the nature of the case makes them an exception to these laws or lifts them above these considerations. They are not a distinct or separate class, blit incur the same liabilities and duties as other corporations und citizens. It cannot be denied that railroads have led in this violation of the Sabbath, The two classes most prominent in it have been rail ways and saloons. The railways were the {>ioneers, and the saloons only followed close ►ehind, clamoring for the same rights in dis regard of the Sabbath. It is not pleasant to thus associate the two, but no observing man can fail to see the truth of the charge. The most general argument urged is that of public demand; this, however, ought not to prove conclusive. Railways only yield to public demands insofar as interest compels them. Trains are run, fares are charged and regulations are made, not so much upon public demand as upon the basis of corpor ate convenience and gain. A train that does not pay is quickly abandoned. A rate that is unrernunerative is immediately changed; and there is no railway manager who would consent to the operation of the principle that railways are managed solely for public con venience and to meet public clamor. While railway managers try to accommodate the public in so far as is possible, yet at the same time the main consideration is one of dollars and cents. But if railway managers were satisfied that the running of Sunday trains lose money and good will, thev would be discontinued in an hour in spite of public demand. Thus it all comes back to the question of train or loss; and the question fairly put is, “Ought rail ways to be operated on that day, in violation of the religious convictions of their employes, and in violation of State laws, for the small profit involved therein?’’ As religious bia9 must more or less affect particular views on this subject, many would be disposed to put aside those considerations and demand some more practical argument on the question. In the discussion of so broad a subject, points can only be stated. First—Then, l suggest that without a day of rest man can neither enjoy health nor freedom. The Sabbath is essential to relig ion, and religion is essential to freedom, good government and prosperity. History con tains no example of a free, progressive and ucces9ful people who did not recognize God, No thoughtful man can controvert the state ment that religion is dependent upon the ob servance of a day of rest. Blot out the Sab bath in this country, and with it the influ ences of religion for a period of fifty years, and the face of our social, moral and politi cal condition would be entirely changed. The testimony of all railroad men in this discussion has shown that a day of relaxation or rest is essential to the proper and faithful discharge of the duties which devolve upon railway' employes, and if this were not so, human experience fully establishes this prin ciple. Second—Whatever may be the religious views of men, it has been universally conce ded that religion makes a man better quali fied for the discharge of every duty, and that in every sphere in which he acts the impulse of Christian life is for good. If railways teach their employes to violate the Sabbath, and also with it to violate the Jaws of the State, and thus dull the obliga tion they feel both to God and the State, they must necessarily have less respect for the laws of the railroad itself, and less sense of duty to their employers. No man who lias any intimate connection with railways can fail to observe the lack of interest on the part of the employes in the corporate welfare, and this is in a large degree attrib utable to the indifference of the corporate managers themselves to the rights, privileges and consciences of their employes. With the eradication of religion goes all idea of future punishment, and this renders men less controllable and less amenable to reason. Religion is a safeguard for property as well as liberty. One church is worth a dozen policemen; and the social and moral power of religion in the discharge of the duties de volving upon men is simply immeasurable. Third—The most defenseless property is that of raiiways. Stretched out along the lines, reaching sometimes thousands of miles, it, is simply impossible to defend it from sudden or organized aggression. The riots of 1877 taught some valuable lessons on this point. Railway corporations in time of trouble are simply at the mercy of employes, and the damage done can only be determined by the extent and violence of their passions. If every man in America were made a po liceman it would be impossible to defend all the railway property in this country; and, as a consequence, railroad corporations are more dependent upon the protection of the law-abiding, moral and Christian sentiments than any other class of property owners. -A re railroad men, therefore, wise in thus do ing what they can to teach and train their employes to violate the Sabbath, and with impunity to break the laws of the State made for their protection? Would it not be wiser to do everything possible to encourage re ligion and a respect for these laws, and thus encourage the sentiments which go furthest in the protection of the rights of property and life? Fourth—There are said to he in tljo railway service of this country 500,000employes. It k probable that more than one half of the-$c at some time are required to do Sunday ser vice. The results of thus requiring 250,000 persons to violate the Sabbath, soley to make money for corporations, and this by direct corporate command, are of incalculable injury, not only to these parties, but to soci ety at large. Men within my knowledge are every Sabbath day compelled to do work in direct contravention of their religious scruples. It is safe to assume that one-half of these employes are Christians; and this evil, therefore, becomes the more appalling. W r hen you consider how these men, from fear of losing their places, are compelled to do this labor (much of which is totally unnecessary, and is the result of indifference or cupidity on the part of the managers and stockholders), it becomes a monstrous wrong against the religion and family rights of these employes. And this compulsory violation of their duties as Christians and citizens teaches them to violate all other laws of the State, and prepares them uot only for indifference to the interests of a corporation itself, but for the manifestation of a disregard for all wise precepts ami restrictions. This is prob ably the worst feature of the whole custom. No man., in the nature of the case, will be true to an employer who, for mere- gain, de mands of him a violation of his conscientious scruples, and who forces him, through fear of losing his employment, to submit to ser vice on a day which, by heavenly and hu man laws, he feels that he is entitled to en joy a3 a day of rest. Fifth—lt will be universally conceded, I think, that men who have families are more constant, fixed and faithful in any service, as a rule, than those who are not so situated. Men with wives and children have given hostages to society for good behavior, for in dustry, and for thrift; and the more a labor ing man is permitted to see of his family, the more certainly is he to be found subject to those restrictions and obligations which make good citizenship. In the nature of the case the Sabbath is the only day the laboring man can enjoy the society of his family. Deprive him of this social communion, this development of his finer emotions and feel ings, and you take from him many of those qualities and inspirations which make men faithful, laborious and true. Nor does this wrong extend only to the man himself, but it reacts upon his family. The separation is a wrong and injury to them; they are cut off from his influence and from his guidance, and the injustice in this phase works out a double evil. And, in conclusion. I have to say that so great a question as this cannot be considered merely on the basis of dollars and cents. To determine its ultimate result it must be sounded deeper than the mere surface. And the question of a few dollars more or less cannot compensate for the religious, moral and social wrong which compulsory work on the Sabbath day inflicts. I see that in one of your late issues you suggest that it is rumored this order of mine will be rescinded. I have only to say that, so far as tried, the results are more than sat isfactory; no injury or loss has been sustain ed; the employes have in many ways ex pressed their gratitude and thanks for this privilege which has been extended to them in the way of a cessation of work on Sunday, and that so long as I remain in the manage ment of the road no change will be made. 1 am very truly yours. Bennett H. Younq, President. REVOLT AGAINST HOADLY. The Inlluencee To Be Met la the Democratic CitnvatiN in Ohio. Wuttliiuaton Special to Cineiunati Enquirer. Already it is beginning to be whispered that Hoadly's ambition is restless, and that his goal is far beyond Ohio’s executive chair. Does Judge Hoadly ever get on his cap of reflection and contemplate that Senator Pendleton may feel it to be his duty, in the interest of his own safety, to handicap his election, and thus remove from his path one who, if successful in his first political canvass, may yearn for greater gifts which I Ohio has in reserve? This may strike the j incredulous as a random shot, but there is substantial evidence for the statement that Pendleton’s friends, who are now being inter viewed daily in this city, and wno announce that Hoadly will be elected, have secretly declared he will be defeated. From whom do these men get their inspiration if not from the fountain head? Again, it is regarded here as a fallacy that I the decision of the Supreme Court sustaining the constitutionality of the Scott law is going to keep the bulk of the German vote to the Democratic party. Those who thus reason go upon the assumption that all the Germans are i saloon-keepers. These lose sight of tiie tact I that many of them are not only not keej>ers of saloons, but progressive adopted citizens who are glad the question ot license has settled. If the Democrats make tneir canvass under a promise, incase of success, to repeal the Scott law without offering some substitute which will in a measure be restrictive and a source of revenue to the State, it is thought I here that such a fight would be absolutely suicide. This because the Republicans would, in such event, force the issue as be tween law and the saloons. A canvass tli us j conducted could have but one inevitable end, which a tyro in politics can well guess, i Plenty of wise politicians here are of the opinion that the decision of the court sus taining the constitutionality of the Scott law is worth I.OOU votes to the Republican party, because it calls a halt to the agitation of a license for the liquor traffic and makes it a fact that there is to be a license. Looking in another direction Judge Hoad ly can see about and around him a cordon of discontent. It was unfortunate for him that to secure his nomination an old ami tried Democrat like General Durbin Ward had to be humiliated. Had a candidate of less ster ling Democracy been his unsuccessful com petitor it would be much easier for the old war-horse3 in the party to have reconciled Hoadly’s success with their ideas of Democracy. The so-called “old war horses’’ are idolators in their views of true Democracy, and it is hard to wean them away from an old to anew idol, and the more so especially when the Democ racy of the new idol is challenged, and/by many viewed with absolute suspicion. Thus it is that Judge Hoadly is encom passed with many elements which are drag ging him down. He has to overcome treachery on the one hand and suspicion on the other. Looking ahead he finds himself confronted not so much witli a strong oppos ing candidate as with a strong opposing party. Foraker may not be a tower of strength, but the party, being stronger than the candidate, will do its level best to pull him through. A Very Laudable Aversion. Washington Special. Two years ago to-day President Garfield was assassinated at the Baltimore A Potomac depot, and this afternoon his successor left the same station for a brief visit to NewYork. It is stated that President Arthur has an aversion to going through the waiting-room in which his predecessor fell, and invariably goes around to the Sixth-street entrance, set apart for gentlemen without ladies.

The Rescue of Little ‘’Birdie” by a Party of Southern Chivalry. Moreliead City (.N. C.) Letter in Philadelphia Press. A thrilling episode in this village yesterday caused more excitement, consternation and weeping among the people than were ever known here before. The three-year-oid daugh ter of Mrs. Robert Elliott was brought to the seaside a month ago, to recover from a severe attack of Texas fever. She became a pet and favorite at the Alabama Hotel. Yesterday morning a strolling Italian made his appear ance in front of the hotel, with a large clus ter of those red, bladder-like toy balloons Major Hawkins, of Alabama, to amuse the child Birdie, who he, at that time, had in his arms, tied the cord around her waist, and then, as is so often done to amuse children, gave her a toss of five or six feet in the air and held out his hands for her return. “Great God! she is gone.’’ cried the Major, as he saw her rapidly going up, up, up. until she had passed the house-tops. Floating in the clouds with outstretched hands, the little angel could be heard dis tinctly calling, “Mamma! mamma! mamma!” until her voice became drowned by the whist ling of the winds. “All to your boats!” shouted old Captain Dixon, and never a son of a man turn hack until that child is brought to its mammy!” “I, I, I,” responded six of as brave and daring boatmen os ever reefed a sail, and all with boats seaworthy for any waters. Minutes appeared as hours, and the babe was flying southeast like a kite, and would be out over the great Atlantic ocean in less than no time. Away went twenty or more well-manned boats amidst the shouts of men and screams of women and children. These boats were joined by a like number from Beaufort, all of which kept as near under the little angel in the clouds as possible. Mr. Charles J. Voorhees, of the Southern Ex press Company, with a party of gentlemen, were out taking a sail. Mr. Voorhees is one of the most expert riflemen in the country, and, as Providence hail ordained it, he had on board his Smith Wesson rifle. Heat once took in the situation, remarking: “Six miles out at sea and going at the rate often miles an hour, and now 400 yards high and every minute going higher, higher, higher. I can cut those balloons, and will do it or die. Steady the boat, throw her leeward of the squadron. ’Squire Wade!” “Let us all jine in prayer before he shoots.” said Steve Turner, the colored minister and mail carrier. “I don’t put much confidence in ’ligion when danger is about,” said Mr. Dixon. By this time the boat had gotten in posi tion to give her the most protection from the stiff breeze then blowing. “Now’s your time,” shouted Piver: “don’t you see them two off to themselves.” “Bang!” went the ritlle—but no change in position. Again, again and again—the fifth shot one balloon disappeared amidst the shouts of the boatmen. At the eighth shot it became evident that the balloons could not longer carry the weight of the little floating angel, as she was gradually descend ing, not in a straight line hut in a southeast direction, toward Barker’s Island—but whether dead or alive none could tell. Down, down, down she comes—as gentle as if handled by human hands—and to fall in a cradle of sand. To land, to land, and all put to shore as fast as the sails would propel the boats. Be fore they reached land most of them jumped overboard and waded ashore. Then began the race for the babe, and she had comedown on a sand bank only a few hundred yards distant. With fear and.trembling all ran up —Ben. Piver in front. “Gentlemen,” saj-s he, “she’s alive and kicking.” There sat little Birdie, playing with a lot of shells, and as she was picked up she clung on to a hand ful, saying, “Dese sels for mamma.” With the prize all returned to the boat 9. There sat Mr. Voorhees with a death-like pallor on his countenance, and when told that he had saved the babe unhurt, his ten der heart gave way and he wept like a child. “All aboard and back to Morehead!” shouts Captain Dixon. The boats were rapidly gotten under way, and each wanted to lie the first to convey the glad tidings, but they all ran near together, with hats and handker chiefs flying, amidst the cheers and screams of several hundred |>eople. The excitement of landing surpasses de scription. At tiie wharf, after everything seemed safe, then little Birdie came the near est of losing her life. Colonel Whitford, a man of generous impulses, seized the little angel in his arms and at a iightning speed started for its mother, wno was then lying in an unconscious suite, under the skillful care of Drs. Haywood, Arendall and Kelly, of Louisiana. But before the kind-hearted Colonel had gone far. amidst the densecrowd and confusion, he ran off the wharf into water over eight feet deep. Several jumped over board and aided him in landing his prize. The child was none the worse for the duck ing. By 4 o’clock Mrs. Elliott became con scious. The guests of the house assembled in the hall-room at 5 p. m. to return thanks to Mr. Voorhees ami the noble boatmen, and express condolence and syniputliv io. Mrs. Elliott. Major Hawkins came forward and made a few remarks, but was too excited to speak, but he said “had that babe been lost my mind was made up—l would have rested to-night with iier in the sea.” Thus ended a day of the most intense excitement that the oldest inhabitant here ever dreamed or tliought of. Wattersou Abroad. Brooklyn Eagle. Mr. Henry Watterson’s visit to New York consisted of one round of festivities. The well-known editor was seized upo when lie first arrived by political and social magnates, and bis stay was made agreeable by an abso lutely limitless round of small ami receptions. He has become well-known in the streets here, and is pointed out as one of the notables, though he is not quite so con spicuous this year as he has formerly been. Heretofore he has invariably worn a suit of white duck or flannel, and carried a palm leaf fan in one hand and a white cambric handkerchief in the other, as he wandered about the streets. He was a refreshing and amiable sight, and was admired no iess by the men than the women. But on this visit he discarded his white garments and ap peared in darker material. He is not quite so conspicuous, but he does not suffer for want of attention. The Deadly Toy Pistol. Philadelphia Prean. The real toy pistol, though a most inoccn ous-looking weajioii. and making less noise than a repectapie tire cracker, is far more dangerous and deadly thail the other, arid should be summarily and effectually sup pressed. It owes its resonance to a little paper cap or wafer containing fulminate of mercury. When the cap explodes portions of it fly off from the hammer and frequently wound the hand of the person discharging the pistol. The mercury compound is of such a poisonous nature that slight wounds produced by the fragments of the wafer re fuse to heal, and the usual result is a painful and distressing death from lockjaw. Attorney-General Brighter a DuelUt. Special to Louisville Cmirier-Jouriml. It is understood that Attorney-general Brewster strongi v denounces the practice of dueling, although, it is said, lie possesses a superb pair of dueling pistols, and on at least two occasions was ready and willing to use them. It was understood that on both oc casions—once when he was under thirty years of age and once ten years afterwards —he was the sender of a challenge, lu j neither instance was the challenge accepted, and Mr. Brewster has been heard in later years to express his satisfaction that such was the case. On one of the occasions men tioned, ex-Speaker Randall’s father acted as Mr. Brewster’s friend, and the difficulty was adjusted mainly through, his exertions. In the other case tiie man who received the challenge wrote a prompt and ample apology, which drove all hostile thoughts from Mr, Brewster’s mind. SECURING A POSITION. How a Reporter Appropriated a Desk and Went to Work. New York Telegram. He applied to tiie editor-in-chief of a daily, who knew’ him well and was aware of Lis ability and experience. "I’ve nothing to of fer you,” he said, "but perhaps vou had bet ter see the managing editor.” To the man aging editor, who also knew him well, the applicant went. “Tiiere’s nothing I can give you.” he said pleasantly, “why don’t vou see the editor-in-chief The nextdy lie applied to both again, and the next, each time receiving the same answer. Droppingin on the fourth day, he noticed a vacant desk in the reporter’s room, kept for anyone who might use it. He called theoffice boy, told him to clean up the desk and bring writing materials. Having “moved in,” he sought the city’s editor’s assignment, picked out a job that he thought he could do, did it, laid the result on the city editor s desk and went home. The next day he did the same thing, and the next, and the next. On the fifth day the ediior-in-chief passed through the room while he was at his desk. “So you have got to work?” he said pleas antly. "Yes. sir,” answered the self appointed reporter. A day or two later the managing editor came in. ‘‘Got at it at last, eh?” he inquired. “Yes, sir,” answered the latest addition to the staff, going on with his work. Tilings went on in this way for two weeks, when one morning the chief came in. “How do you like your position?” he asked. “First rate,” he answered, “there’s only one trouble—l haven’t had any money yet.” “No money? How’s that? Perhaps the managing editor forgot to put your name on the roll. Never mind; I will. How much did he say you were to have?” “He didn’t say, sir,” said the reporter, telling the truth very literally. The chief fixed the pay then and there, dated it back two weeks, and the “hanger on” became a full-fledged member of the stall’ on the spot. And the best of the joke was, not until t\yo years afterward did either the editor-in-chief or the managing editor know how it came about, each supposing the other had done it. Two heads were certainly bet ter than one that time—for the applicant. Kentucky's Loss of Reputation. Oldham K ra. The reputation of Kentucky is trembling in the balance. Bob Woolley puts Colonel Lewis Kean, one of the Governor’s staff, in jail, and no blood is spilt. In Lexington Mr. Goodloe calls Collector Swope a hypocrite and traitor, and both gentlemen are sound in body. Truly, this is a deplorable state of affairs, and we fear it will be buta short time until a Kentuckian Is no gamer than a bine-bellied Yankee. The thought is not a pleasant one and the reflection most unhap py. If Woolley had been shot and killed, Kean dangerously wounded, Swope knocked down and Goodloe severely knifed, it would have brought the State into more prominence than all the speeches Knott and Morrow could make in a lifetime. A Seaside Attraction. Coney Island Letter. Not very far from the den of snakes is to be another attraction of a most remarkable character. Human flesh densely populated with trichinae is to be displayed under the microscope. an enterprising gentleman hav ing imported a choice collection from Berlin. He declares that several of his specimens are taken from the body of a butcher who. out of mere bravado, ate a piece of pork in which the parasite had been discovered. Tiie Inventions of Colored Men. Louisville Commercial. The Atlanta Journal is mistaken in saying that no colored man has ever obtained a pat ent for an invention in this country. A ol ored minister at Princeton, Kv., is the paten tee of a dinner bucket for workingmen which has yielded him a large profit, and a colored lawyer of this city has invented an apparatus for registering the attendance at public meet ings, which has been patented. Doubtless there are many other colored inventors. General Sherman’s Boom. Speaker Keiter. “Who is to be our next President, Speak er?” asked the reporter. “General Sherman—Old Tecumseh. You can pul that right down.” LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Fourth of July. To the Editor ot the Indianapolis Journals The Fourth of July is ti e day above all others when an American citizen should be manly; when lie should walk erect, put on hi** better nature, and celebrate with grati tude our nation’s natal-day, showing to all the world around that he appreciates the blessings and wears with pride the honors of a citizen of the United States of America. And yet many on that day, above all others, debauch and degrade themselves and dis honor and disgrace the day, r. Princeton. Ind. Mr. Emi Kennedy Arises to Speak. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In order to enable you to explore, that you may fully exhaust, four frantic efforts against public sentiment, industry and enter prise—however bearing in mind that any thing you may say against the scheme will not discourage me nor cause me to depart from my duties and belief—and to fully as sist you, inasmuch as you have assumed to make a stage, or public theater out of your supposed valuable paper, I herewith and in the utmost kindness hand you a copy of all the circulars as prepared and issued by me. I am quite willing, sir, to go before the pub lic with my “scheme” oil its own merits, as I know it lias been subjected to the highest criticism before, and anything you or the press of the world may say would not dis courage me, nevertheless it may discourage some of the honorable gentlemen who have so kindly associated with me and for that reason, I send you all documents to date, that you may be enabled to blow the blossom from the stem if you can. When a thing has merits as this has, and is feasible, being a proposition covering the same number of miles of raii as was built last year, or during about twelve months, at an estimated cost of less than half of that built during last year. It is not unreasonable to suppose that it has some virtues that will merit protection, especially would one think so who Bees the inside working of the system and the luauv volunteers that already apply for admission, whq believe ther’a millions in it.” However each sub scriber must pay a dollar in order to get a dol lars worth, not like the writers of the Col. Mulberry Sellers scheme nay $1.50 or else slip in on a “dead head” slide and then lack $1.50 of getting any thing at all. You are at liberty to publish this if you wish with elaborate comments so that you direct them to me ami not to my contem poruriep. Proud of being one of tiie people, who lives by the assistance of tiie people, and wishing to do something for the people, I urn. Km Kennedy. Mu. J. B.

Mitchell, of the State Agricultural Board, Says the Crop Will Be an Average One. Information received by the Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture show* that there has been a great improvement in the wheat cron. The continued warm weather of the last few days has been well suited to the development and the ripening of the grain. The crop has been nearly all harvested, and ie in a remarka bly good condition, although short of the yield of last year. Robert Mitchell, of PrincotOii, t.ne president of the State Board of Agriculture, was in the city yesterday, and stated that in south ern Indiana the harvesting was about over, and threshing will begin next week. Ho estimates the yield in that section ac about two-thirds of the crop of 1862. Tne reports from other parts of the State, since harvesting began, have been very favorable. Tile condition of tbe growing corn is excellent, and. Judging from the present, prospects, the Secretary stares that the .yield of potaiooa will ue larger than ever before. PERSONAL.

It is significant that that medical college has chosen two of its professors from Western schools—Drs. Bartho low, of Cincinnati, and Parvin. of Indianapolis.

I toolc the bottle home and commenced taking it, and find that it does tiie work effectually; and I am pleased to recommend to all who have kidney or liver disease the use ot Hum’s Remedy, the sure cure.” APRIL, 11, 1883.

The way to make a man temperate is to kill the desire for those dreadful artificial stimulants that car ry so many bright intellects to premature graves, and desolation, strife and un happiness into so many families. It is a fact! Brown’s Iro;i Bitters, a true non-alcohol ic tonic, made in Baltimore, Riu.,by the Brown Chemical Company, who are old drug gists and in every particu lar reliable, will, by remov ing the craving appetite of the drunkard, and by curing tbe nervousness, weakness, and general ill health result ing from intemperance, do more to promote temperance, in the strictest sense then any other means now known. It is a well authenticated fact that many medicines, especially bitters,’ are noth ing butcheap whiskey vilely concocted for use in local option countries. Such is not the case with Brown's Iron Bitters. It is a medi cine, a cure for weakness and decay in the nervous, muscular, and digestive or gans of the body, produc ing good, rich blood, health and strength. Try one bot tle. Price 00.

Is Watterson in favor of the old ticket— and an appropriation? Up to the hour of going to press a little of the stock of the People's railway still re mained unsold; The Daphne sank in the Clyde as thor oughly and suddenly as did her ancient namesake when closely pressed by Apollo. In view of the fact that a cholera epidemic Is imminent, we cannot be too grateful that Carter Harrison sat down on the Iroquois Club. Workingmen who may have ‘’knocked off’ for the day, will probably make a run upon the treasurer of the People’s railway' to take the stock. The officers should be prepared for a rush. ___________ Mr. Emi Kennedy, of the People’s railway, proclaims himself the People’s Friend, with a large P and a protuberant F. If we remem ber correctly, Mr. Tigg Montague labored “Under a similar impression. The New York World thinks the People’s railway is a scheme to raise money to carry Indiana for the Republican party. All the money that will be raised for this colossal piece of moonshine will not be sufficient to carry a precinct. The World may be paci fied." About how much more contumely and in sult will the McDonald boomers heap upon Mr. Hendricks? The Evansville Courier and the Fort Wayne Sentinel are letting them selves out in the seemingly congenial work of heaping slurs upon Mr. Hendricks in their teal for Mr. McDonald. Members of the Dakota capital commission seem to be finding that honesty, though the best policy, is leading them into difficulties. Bondsmen of the treasurer of the commission have asked to be released, not, it is privately understood, from any doubt of that official’s uprightness, but to show their disgust at his failure to give them the pointers they looked for in return for their services. The founder of the People’s railway assures us that that scheme has precisely the same foundation as the fiat dollar. We had infer red as much, but are gratified at this official i idorsement. People who are approached to put their hard earnings into the “stock,” should understand that the foundation upon which they build is the sure and eternal one upon which the fiat dollar so proudly rested. The Fourth is being celebrated in New York by a handshake over the bloody chasm. The cadets of the Virginia Military Institute were granted the privilege of returning so the survivors of the One-hundred-and-fifty fiftli New’ York regiment its colors, lost at the battle of Cold Harbor, on the 3d of June, 1864, nearly twenty years ago. The occasion is expected to be a very fraternal and enjoy able one. Objection is made to an association of the name of Mr. Alexander Collier with the People’s railway scheme. We cannot exactly gather whether it is because the scheme or Mr. Collier will suffer; but to prevent other hearts from aching it may be distinctly stated that the Union Trust Company and the Peo ple’s railway are not identical, neither is the latter the outgrowth of or successor to the former, however plausible such an idea may be at first blush. The Christian Mcerlein Brewing Company and Windiscb, Muhlhauser &Cos., of Cincin nati, paid $44,000 of taxes levied under the Soott law. This sum was advanced by these firms in payment of taxes for 220 saloon keepers, who were unable to put up the nec essary S2OO license fee. The conditious were the execution by the saloon-keepers to the brewers of a chattel-mortgage on all their fixtures, and a written agreement that they would purchase beer of none but their “bene factors.” We acknowledge the receipt of several quires of valuable printed matter touching the People’s railway. In a hurried exam ination of one of the circulars we find this statement from the “founder:” “It is well for the public as it is for the undertaking that each and every shareholder or reader is not able to grasp the situation.” Possibly the “founder” will find that the situation will be more readily grasped than he im agines, and as a consequence, that the “each and every stockholder” will be a very lone some individual. When the “situation is grasped,”*the “reader” will be apt to “grasp” bis pockeibook, and gently woo the solicitor away with a club. The conduct of a party of Missouri lynchers Who hung a negro at Louisiana, on Sunday, shows them to be less human than Coman che Indians. After taking their man about ft mile from town and hanging him, they took the body back and strung it up to a tree in the public street, had photographs taken of it while in that position, afterward cutting off the head and mutilating the corpse generally, passed the pieces around among the doctors of the place; and all this in the name of justice! Men who engage in this sort of work are worse criminals than those they assume to punish. Such a diabol ical deed would bring the blush to the cheek of Frank James, and make Jesse turn over in his grave and feel for his revolver to shoot the brutes. THE DAY WE CELEBRATE- To say that to-day is the Fourth of July is not to impart new intelligence. The pop and fizz of fire-cracker and torpedo, the shout of the omnipresent small boy, and the licensed discord of the horn has told the news only too plainly. To-dav is unquestion ably the Fourth of July, with all that the term implies. It may be that a large per cent, of those who celebrate it will do so without knowing exactly why they celebrate, or what the day commemorates. There may even be a few who dimly imagine that Columbus discovered America on the Fourth of July, or that the Pilgrim Fathers landed on Ply mouth Rock on that day, or it may be that Pocahontas delivered Captain Smith away back yonder on some indistinct day in early July. But a very large majority of America knows exactly what all this hubbub signifies. They are up in colonial history, know all about Washington, including the hatchet story, and could give an intelligent epitome of the stirring events of the Revolutionary war. The names of the patriot leaders are as familiar to them as are those of 1861-65. The bathes are all known, from Lexington to Yorktown. Put nam’s escape is still a living marvel, and Ma rion's dinner of sweet potatoes is recalled with pardonable pride. Give the boys a chance to-day; let them “holler” and shoot squibs all they please. The nation’s natal day comes but once a year, and is as dear an heirloom to the boys of 1883 as it was to the barefooted urchins of fifty years ago. Never mind the noise. Clap your hands over your ears if it is too loud. If you were (he right kind of a boy, there was a time when nothing was half loud enough on such an occasion.. Church bells were rung till they were crazy with the clangor and clamor they made. Anvils were transformed into cannon, so far as explos ions were concerned, and every conceivable firearm, trumpet and horn was impressed to do duty on the nation's birthday. Don’t forget this in the unearthly din raised by the boys of to-day. A hundred years ago to-day was the last Fourth of July before the treaty of Paris recognizing the independence of the United States, and the framing of the Federal constitution. The treaty was con cluded in the palace at Versailles, in the same room in which, in 1870, King William of Prussia was made Emperor of united Germany. A century of acknowledged in dependence has nearly elapsed, and as we rest for a moment by the hundredth mile stone it i9 but natural to draw some com parison between the past and present. This, we think, can be done in this instance with out discredit to the present age. The antici pations of the founders of the republic have been more than realized. In population, wealth and culture, the republic of the western hemisphere is shoulder to shoulder with the oldest nations of the world, and is taking rapid strides to exceed all others. Public affairs are as well managed as ever in the history of the republic. Our officials are as honest and capable as any the country ever had. Our statesmen are as able. Lin coln and Douglas were the peers'of Wash ington and Jefferson, and the public men of to-day would in no wise suffer in comparison with those of the first decade of our auton omy. Could we see the framers of the Declaration, as they were before they were canonized by the affections of grateful fellow-citizens, w f e would doubt less find them possessed of all the little faults and foibles of the statesmen of the present. The campaign charges that now seem so sig nificant and so real, will all be forgotten after the grave closes over those against whom they are so readily preferred, and only the better features will be recalled. The heroes of the revolution were no more heroic than were those of the rebellion. The tor tures of Belle Isle and Ander sonville were borne as uncom plainingly as were those inflicted in British prison ships. The people are just as patriotic now as they were when Lexing ton and Concord heard the first rifle shots, over a hundred years ago. Our republic is a glorious success despite the croakings of mal contents. There is cause for rejoicing. Adults may enjoy this satisfaction in any dignified manner they please. Let the young f#lks have a chance in the manner so much prized by them from the earliest times, and from one end of the land to the other. It is all right. To-day is the Fourth of July. In the words we once heard fall from the lips of a revered and dignified minister, who had been beguiled into the enjoyments of a sleigh ride with certain harum-scarum members of his flock, “Let 'er rip!” Twenty-one “assisted” paupers were re turned frpiu this country to Ireland last week, bearing as a compliment to those who assisted them the indignation of this coun try. On the same day 800 Mormon converts arrived, who stepped without question from shipboard to railway coach and put out for Salt Lake to identify themselves with that festering sore upon the morals of this coun try, which is working more harm than all the paupers iu the United States. While the THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 183&. precautions against the wholesale influx of the helpless are timely, there is still room for additional restrictions upon other classes. The poor devil ought to have as many favors as the mean devil. RELIGION AND RELIGION. Instances are not wanting of religious zeal or fanaticism carrving its devotees into the crudest practices in the name of religion. Take the example of the Westcotts, of Scran ton, Pa. D. E. Westcott and his wite were and are very devout “Christians,” scrupu lously exact in the observance of every re ligious duty. By that strange contrariety so often encountered, these worthy parents were troubled with very worldly if not actu ally wicked children. Apparently they were natural thieves, and nothing could prevail upon them to give up the habit of appropri ating whatever articles their fancy favored. It is altogether probable that the unhappy parents prayed often and persistently over their trouble, but without avail. At length, despairing of relief through prayer only, the mother of the boys took one of them, and kneeling down by a hot stove (red-hot, the account says), she compelled him to kneel with her and to place his hand* on the stove while she prayed for him! Toe boy’ was ex horted to do so likewise; but tortured by the exquisite agony caused by l is burning flesh, cried out so loudly that the attention of the neighbors was attracted. The other son, it is said, was tortured in the same way by both father and mother. Think of the grim irony of asking a child to unite in prayer at a moment when his hands were literally cooking! The idea is so revolting that out raged nature rebels against all thought oi such mummery. It is said that the authori ties took notice of these modern inquisitions, arrested the inhuman parents and brought them to trial. But they were acquitted and set free by a jury which must have been com posed of brutes or imbeciles. The paradox of a good tree bringing forth evil fruit, as seems true in this case, suggests an inquiry. Is it not possible that these boys became evil through the influ ence of religion distorted in the unhealthy brains of their parents? It ought to be apparent to all that religion, such as possessed by the Westcotts, would naturally drive one to crime if compelled to be near it, and to daily listen to the madden ing cant that is usually indulged in by such people. Os what value was prayer to those boys with their parched fingers sticking to the red-hot stove? What estimate would they naturally put on “religion” as revealed in such refined cruelties? If they had never done wrong in their lives, the impulse would be to rush at once to the commission of some crime. Anything would be dared if it only bade defiance to such barbarism. The “religion” that permits its devotees to descend to such in human cruelties is no religion at all, and if what is told of the Westcotts be true, they should no longer be held religious and anx ious after the welfare of their children, bu£ should be flogged until common sense be restored enough to show them the enor mity of their crime. There can be no ques tion that excessive zeal has only too often changed otherwise loving and lovable parents into brutal keepers. Frequently accepting as literal that which to others is plainly figurative and hyper bolical, their minds are wrenched, their judgments perverted and their natures deformed. Religion, as manifested in the daily walk and conversation of such mon strosities, is repulsive, and works more harm than good. No man nor woman has the right to make religion anything eLe butat tractive and desirable. Just so soon as it be comes cruel, cold-blooded and unreasonable, just that soon it ought, and will be aban doned and despised. Professors of religioh owe it to the w’orld about them to keep re ligion on the high plane it deserves to oc cupy. Maintained there, it will command the respect and obedience of children, and the aid of maturer people. It was founded on the belief that its claims would appeal to the best judgment of the mind, without which it could never succeed. True religion must rest on the foundation of common sense. It is folly to longer talk of making the people believe something they cannot believe. Christianity is eminently a religion of reason. It ought not to contradict itself, and it will not contradict itself. The Westcotts, in the blindness of fanaticism, have perverted its teachings, brutalized its admonitions and defeated its aims. They are no more pos sessed of the spirit of religion than is the veriest cannibal who has no idea of righteous ness and justice. And there are too many Westcotts in the land, who are daily bring ing harm to the cause of Christ. The tertio-millennial celebration is in full blast at Santa Fe. The Spaniards planted this settlement 333 years ago, and its mineral wealth and other advantages are just now bringing the locality into prominence. The present jubilee, which is to run for a month, is designed chiefly to attract population and capital to that point. It may also afford the last public occasion for a glimpse at the fading civilization and race that preceded the Spaniard, and, altogether, a visit to the city during the present exposition would be a desirable one. It is the unique thing in expositions. It is one of the marvels of human nature that any sort of a chimerical piece of tom foolery can secure advocates and followers. We are not surprised, therefore, to know that even the People's railway can find enough men to “liberally officer” the affair. But, we apprehend, with the thorough expo sure of the palpable fraud already made, the schemers will find some difficulty in work ing the project up to a climax, although they can easily work it to a “bust,” which is probably the original objective point. The current year adds another frightful calamity to its already lengthy list. The drowning of a hundred people in the Clyde yesterday was in keeping with the character of other accidents of the year. The popular impression that all careless accidents happen in America, and that only in Europe are found faultless laws and perfect administra tion is about dispelled. Europe has fur nished its lull quota of frightful calamities resulting from carelessness. The visiting statesmen of the Chicago Iro ouoisClub have returned from their Eastern pilgrimage. They are confident the Democratic National convention will be held at Chicago, and that Mr. Tilden will be the nominee, with Hon. A. S. Hewitt as second choice, and a Western man for Vice-president. Thus per isu all our little booms. Note the vicissitudes of the trade dollar: When this piece of money was first coined, it didn’t circulate, for the reason that it was worth 3.47 cents more than a gold dollar. Now it won’t circulate because it is worth a good deal less than a gold dollar. The birthplace of Louise Miohel, the famous French female agitator, has long been a matter of dispute, but an official document has recently been fouud which puts the question at rest. She was born on the 29th of May, 1830, at the Chateau do Vrouoourt, her mother being an em ploye at the chateau. The chateau is a large square building, and flanked by fourlarge towers. It was formerly the property of the Clermont Crevecoeur family, and is now a picturesque ruin in the midst of a large garden, it was un der the old apple trees of this garden that about the y’ear 1850 Louise Miohel courted the muse, and declaimed “Henri Quatre” with all the elo quence of her nature, worshiped Victor Hugo— who called her confrere—appealed to France to offer an asylnm to Pius IX, and addressed to the Republicans of the day a loDg tirade, now published by the Figaro for the first time. “Souvent femlne vane,” says the proverb, and by her changes in religion and politics Louise Michel proves that she has not renounced all the gracesj)f her sex. The proverb is again exem plified in the case of Citoyenue Krlingoourt, tho preparations for whose wedding with a Rouman ian Prince worth four millions are already being made. This revoiutionaire, to whom the suc cession of Louise Michel was promised, is a splendidly proportioned, large blonde, who looks just as if she had stepped out of a picture by Rubens. The hopes of the Anarchists now rest upon Mine. Paula Mmok, the mother of the in fant who rejoices in the name Lucifer Satau Veroingetorix Mlnck. Tiie Rev. Thomas N. Burke, the well-kuown priest and lecturer, who died on Monday, was born in Galway, Ireland, in 1830. At an early age he went to Rome, and spent five years in tnat and other Italian cities, after which he came to Englaud, where he was ordained a priest. The next eleven years of his life were spent in England and Ireland, at the expiration of which time he was sent to Rome, where ho succeeded Dr. Manning as preacher of the Lenten sermons in the Church of Santa Marla del Popolo, continuing this work for five years. Returning to Ireland, he was attached to St. Saviour’s Domlnioan Church, in Dublin. 1n|1872 he visited the United Btates, having been ap pointed visitor to the bouses of the Dominican community on the American continent. He de livered sermons and lectures in all parts of the Uuion, and acquired extraordinary popularity as an orator. His celebrated series of lectures In answer to Mr. Froude, the historian, ou the relations between England and Ireland caused niuoh excitement, and produoed an animated controversy. Among the gifts of an old lady in Michigan to the sufferers from the terrible tires that raged there last year, was a box of writing material. Shortly after this she missed two government bonds aud could find them nowhere. In due time duplicates were regularly’ issued by the Treasury upon a bond of iudemuity, and the af fair dropped from sight. Recently Seoretary Folger received from a lady in Miohigan a letter which dispells the mystery’. The Secretary’s cor respondent was one of the sufferers from the fires, aud was the recipient from a relief, com mittee of a box of writing materials, thought* fully’ contributed by Some benevolent person, and upon recently reaching the bottom of the box was surprised to find two bonds. Western people are just the least bit inoredu lous when It Is told of a Brooklyn hose-cart that the driver was compelled to beat a locomo tive in order to keep from being run over. He was crossing the track when he observed the approaching train. Turning squarely on to the track, he ran a block over the ties, aud pulled off just as the locomove dashed b.v. If he could beat the locomotive that far, it ought to seem the easiest thing imaginable to jerk his cart across the track, the distance of about five feet. WHI someone please call ihe roll and see if Mr. Mul hatton is at present in Brooklyn! A Philadelphia pastor, in a sermon preached last Sunday, ou “The power of a beautiful wo man,” (patents the fact that comparatively few beautiful women are Christians. If the females of that congregation have an atom of proper spirit about them, their preacher will be out of a job iu a few brief days. His subsequent eflort to hedge, by the assurance chat he loved beauti ful souls, should meet with the scorn it de serves. A servant girl in New York city was suspect ed of having stolen S4O. While denying the charge, her emnloyer noticed a peculiar swelling in one of her cheeks, aud compelled her to open her mouth, wheu a very moist S2O bill dropped out. The Scriptures were again fulfilled, for out of her mouth was she condemned. Tiie latest distinctive title applied to ths champions of their sex in regard to equal rights and privileges is “woman-women.” For some mysterious reason they’ seem not to be pleased with the appellation.

The speculator who argues that because the smash of 1873 was preceded by the building of 7,000 miles of railway in one year—and we built nearly double that amount last year—we must have a still greater panic, takes a short-sighted view of the situation.

It is barely possible, in view of the revision of the tariff *so lately made, the effect of which is as yet ho imperfectly developed, and of the timidity with whioh radical changes arc regarded, that, the parties will attempt to tide over the next caiupaigu without coming into direct autagonisin ou this troublesome issue.

But this is to be a people’s railway—an anti monopoly railway. And for the purpose of firmly establishing its anti-mononoly char acter, its managers are to allow the great capitalists of California, the most persistent and successful railway monopolists in the world, to hold nine-tenths of the stock. There are the elements of a colossal joke in this “stupendousenterprise.” A SCHEME THAT DID NOT WORK.

JOHN BAPTIST PURCELL. The Venerable Archbishop Dying at St. Martin's Convent. 'Vhe Tireless Devotion of the Watchers in His Illness—Death a Happy Release to the Venerable Prelate. Cincinnati, July 3. —The following mes sage has just been received from Rev. Dr. Callaghan: Blanchester, July 3, 4:10 p. m. To agent of the Associated Press: Arch bishop Purcell is dying. J. F. Callaghan. Sketch of the Life of Archbishop Purcell. His Grace, Rev. John Baptist Purcell, was born at Mallow, County Cork, Ireland, Feb ruary 26, 1800. He was the son of Edmund and Johanna Purcell, who were very highly respectable and pious people, and who gave their children a sound education as far as possible. In the early days of John (the Archbishop) he was allowed to serve at the altar and distribute the Sunday contributions among the needy. He endeavored to obtain means from hie well-to-do relatives to com plete his studies at Maynooth, but being un able to do so, emigrated to this country at the age of eighteen. Receiving a certificate of qualification from Asbury College, Balti more, he started as a private tutor in east Maryland, and served two years. Then he went as a student and teacher to Mount St. Mary’s College, near Emmittsburg. Md., and ill 1823 received the four minor orders from Archbishop Marechal. With the Bishop of Vincennes, Rev. Father Brute, he went to Paris to complete his studies in the Seminary of St. Sul pice. Iu 1826 he was ordained priest by Archbishop de Quelen, in Notre Dame, Paris. He then returned to America, and became professor of philosophy in Mount St. Mary’s College; at the same time he assisted Father Brute in teaching theology. He was chosen bishop in 1833, as the suc cessor of Right Rev, Bishop Edward Fenwick, who died the previous year while the cholera was raging in Cincinnati. His consecration was effected by Archbishop Whitefield, of Baltimore. Bishop Purcell took part iu the Second Provincial Council of Baltimore, and thence set out for Cincinnati, where he found only one church in existence. Nothing was flourishing in the diocese, but he went from house to house, and soon had another church erected. In 1850 Bishop Purcell was appointed archbishop, and the next year, while in Rome, received the pallium from Pope Pius IX. Since that time over thirty five Catholic churches have been erected in the diocese. Under his administration the following in stitutions were established: Theological Sem inary at Mount St. Mary’s, St. Xavier Col lege, Passion ist Monastery. Mt Adams; Cath olic Gymnasium of St. Francis d'Assissi, St. Joseph’s College, St Mary’s Institute, six yourig ladies’ literary institutes, six convents, among them the Good Samaritan and the Betts-street Hospital; the St. Aloysius Or phan Asylum, The Boys’ Protectory, and St. Peter’s and St. Joseph’s Asylums. He also established over thirty parochial schools, with an attendance of over 20,000. Among the incidents of the Archbishop’s life were these: The celebrated debate be tween Alexander Campbell, the founder of a new sect of his name (now the Chrtstian Dis ciples), and the Archbishop. This debate caused the conversions of Judge Burnet and many others to the Cath olic faith. In 1861, when in Rome, Count Hippolyte Bocarme had been sentenced to death for the murder of his father. No one was admitted by the man to see him except the venerable Arch bishop. The execution took place in Pour nay, Belgium. On seeing the Arohbi.shop the murderer’s first question was: “Have you been sent by the King or by the Pope?” “Bv neither,” was the reply. “I come by the providence of God.” “You are the man I want,” the prisoner said, kissing the Arch bishop’s hand With emotion. During the war of the rebellion Archbishop Purcell had the flag of the Union raised over St. Peter’s Cathedral and the churches elsewhere in his diocese, and throughout the war he cast his Immense influence among his people steadily for the Federal cqust. In 1862 the Pope called his Grace to Rome for the fourth time, to be present at the canonization of the Jap anese martyrs. In 1867 the Archbishop again wept to Rome, and in 1869. in the same city, took a most decided stand against the Pope’s infallibility when that question came up be fore the great general council of the Vatican. His fiftieth anniversary of his priesthood was celebrated on the 21st of May, 1876. In 1877 the Archbishop issued an order for the establishment of colored Catholic schools, and the result of that measure was a most guccessful one, as not only Catholic but Protestant colored children visited the schools. On the 17tli of February. 1878, Mr. J. M. Adelbrich Benziger, of the firm of Benziger Brothers, died. The deceased was intimately connected with the diocesan duties of the Archbishop, and was the originator of the “Wfidirbeitsfreund,” the German orga:. of the Catholic church. This paper of the date of Jan. 22, 1879, says: “The Archbishop came here about forty years ago, when Cincinnati had only a popu lation of 35,000, when only one Catholic fhurch was in existence. The number of churches increased to thirty-five, but the debts kept on growing, and the Archbishop assumed the debts that the congregation could not pay. Then came the financial crash, the particulars of which are too well known to everybody, especially those who had money with his brother on deposit.” On the 19th of February a synod of the Catholic clergy was held at the cathedral, when {he Archbishop made an address, stat ing that he could not pay the diocesan debt, and asked the representatives of the churches to help him out. He said he had never re ceived for his own use a cent of the money deposited. Nothing was done at this meet ing. On tbe 19th of March the clergymen of the various churches met and adopted a reso lution that collections be made among the congregations. It was done, and proved a failCire. Then came the rush on the assignee of the Archbishop. Daily hundreds and hundreds crowded the office of Mr. Mannix and wanted their share of the money de posited, which in toto amounted to $3,072,- 371.57. On the 26th of March the Archbishop issued a circular to the Catholics in the world explaining his financial embarrassment, and asking for aid. He also sent to Rome asking for his resignation, but the Pope refused to grant it- April 30 th# Bishops of Louisville, Detroit, Fort Wayne and Covington had a consulta tion as to who should be the coadjutor of the Archbishop. This question was finallv de cided by the appointment of Bishop W. H. Elder, of Natchez, Miss., who. in May, 1880, took charge of the diocesan affairs. The Archbishop and his brother Edward, bis treasurer, soon after left for Brown county, and took up their residence in a pri vate property adjoining the Ursuline con vent, at St. Martin’s. Here they lived in re tirement, seeing but few, and devoting them selves to spiritual affairs. His brother Ed ward died in December of the year s 1880. This was a severe blow’ to the Archbishop, nd his health was seriously affected by it. Already feeble, he became much more so from this shock, and never again regained his former strength of either body or mind. A Visit to His Bednide. Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The Archbishop lives in the chaplain’s house, which is hardly a stone’s throw from the main building of the Ursuline Convent, at St. Martin’s, and his surroundings are the most pleasant imaginable. His room is a corner one on the ground floor, and its win dows, except when it is necessary to shut off the sun, are continually left open. Tiirough them the sick man can see the w’ell-kept lawn, rolling aw’av to a mimic lake, while beyond a wheat field, with its golden w’aves, is waiting for the harvest, and still farther stretches a rolling vista, dotted here and there with farm houses and dark patches of forest. Looking upward, the glittering cross on the dome of the chapel greets the eyo, and as the sun sinks in the west its last beams linger about the uplifted emblem of the Christian faith, bathing it in glory, while the lengthening shadows are blotting out everything else on earth. Through the windows there comes the fresh country breeze, wholesome with the odor of new-mown clover. The hum of the bees, the singing of the birds, the soft murmur of the flowers and growing things, the rustle of the leaves, all come to the bed side of the sick man. There are no rude and harsh sounds. The busy whirl of humdrum life is left far behind. Never has the shriek of the locomotive or rattling whirr of the cars disturbed the sylvan quiet of the place, the nearest railroad being ten miles distant. It is the spot above all others where the peaceful closing scenes of an active, busy life should take place, and where one would choose to die. One’s spirit might leave the body borne on the wings of the mild winds of July, and death would be as calm as is the kiss a ray of sunshine gives the earth. Such are the sights and sounds lying out side of the Archbishop's room. It is a plain apartment, and not larger than an ordinary chamber. The bed is a rich piece of furni ture, being square and made of heavy carved black wood. It has a top and curtains like the beds of a former generation. Around the rooms are several comfortable easy chairs, a writing table and a wardrobe. All is quiet and elegant, but nothing extraordinary. On the walls are pictures of the four evangelists, a copy of Murillo’s “Madonna of Seville,” and a handsome photograph of the prelate’s beloved brother, Father Edward Purcell. On the mantelpiece yesterday was a vase filled with fresh, bright flowers, and a tali wax ta per whose feeble flame was in singular con trast with the exuberant light around. There are two doors to the chamber, one opening into a hall, and the other into the Archbish op’s private chapel. This latter is a small room fitted up with an altar and tiny read ing-desk. When the doors are opened be tween the apartments the sick man faces the altar and can take part in the services. Mass is said several times a day in the little chapel. A Commercial Gazette reporter spent yes terday at the convent, and sitting on the porch of the chaplain's house in the after noon, Father Callaghan told the story of the Archbishop’s recent illness. “Last Thursday evening,” said the rever end Father, “the Archbishop was taken with a stroke of paralysis that affected his right side and tongue. At that time we thought he was dying, but he has since rallied, and on Sunday he was again taken worse. On that day his temperature rose from 99° to 101°, but to-day it has fallen to 98°; that may be a favorable symptom, and I hope it is, j’et none of us think for a moment that he is long for this world. This is the fourth at tack of the kind he has had, and it would be almost a miracle if he survived. “The weather, too, is very much against him. This damn, sultry heat, which is al most unendurable to the well and strong, cannot fail to affect the weak. Yet he sleeps well. At 7 o’clock this morning he fell asleep and slept to 9. Then he lias had several naps during the day. Dr. Dunnison, of Westboro. is his phy sician, and, while he hopes for the best, lie shares in our anticipations. He makes daily two visits of an hour each, once in the morn ing and then in the evening.” “What did he say this morning?” asked the reporter. “The Doctor was of the opinion that our patient was slightly better. The Archbishop is a man of wonderful vitality and endurance, but his strength is now exhausted, and another stroke of paralysis would inevitably prove fatal. Dr. Dunnison, however, would not commit himself to an opinion, and every thing is still shrouded in doubt. He may go to sleep and die at any moment.” "Has his sickness changed his appearance? Is he emaciated and worn?” “Why,” answered the Father, warmly, “he is not a particle changed; not a particle. There is not the slightest alteration in his face or appearance, except that he has grown older. When this last attack came on.he looked differently, but now he has quite re gained his natural appearance, and he is not in the least emaciated. This morning the paralysis of the tongue passed away, allow ing him to swallow, and the weary, painful look on his face that had been there since last Thursday is gone.” “You say he is able to swallow. Is he strong enough to take any food?” “No solid food. Every hour or two a few spoonfuls of some kind of gentle stimuftmr, is given him. You must remember that he is now an old man, and it is only stimulants that can keep him up. There is no dis guising the fact that he is near unto death’s door.” “I suppose that several times you have thought lie was stepping across the threshold of the beyond,” ventured the reporter. “Yes,” was the reply, “on both Friday and Saturday nights the prayers for the dying were said, and on Friday we thought he*was so far gone that the last rites were adminis tered. The sisters are continually praying. It was only last Wednesday that he was out in the open air, and as well as he had been for a year. On that day I took him in the carriage to Fayetteville, a six-miles drive, and when we returned he was to all appear ances as fresh as ever. He often takes a drive of two or three hours. A week ago Sunday he wa9 able to attend high mass at the convent chapel, and he even stayed and listened to the sermon, two hours in all. I remember that as wc cameout I said to him: ‘Archbishop, you’ll pay for staying and listening to that sermon.’ “He laughed and answered: ‘Oh, I guess not.’ “Has the Archbishop lost anything of his mental faculties, Father Callaghan?” “Not a bit of it. His hearing and judg ment are as sound as ever. An impediment in his speech has prevented him from saying much, but his mind is active. He is very observant, and nothing escapes him. Even on Saturduy, when he was so sick, I spoke to him pleasantly to see if he understood, and he smiled. He is always, bright, cheery, and is never in the least impatient.” Early yesterday morning Bishop Elder ar rived from Baltimore at the bedside of the dying prelate, but the Archbishop did not appear to recognize him. The last person lie recognized was Father Callaghan, on Satur day. when lie gave his hand a slight press sure. Bishop Elder will remain at Bt. Mart in’s until there is some definite change in his superior’s condition. For almost two years and a half, now, Father Callaghan has been by the side of the Archbishop, ever ready to minister to his wants. The Archbishop had his first at tack on the Ist of November, 1880. and on going to the Ursuline convent, at that time, he was accompanied by his brother, Rev. Edward Purcell. J list before the death of the iatter, on January 22, 1881, he wrote to Father Callaghan that he was dying, and that he relegated the care of his brother to TIIE INDIASTAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 1883. him. Father Callaghan came to St. Mar tin’s to attend the funeral, and has remained at the convent ever since. It is now two years since the Archbishop has been able to walk unassisted, and during all that time he has required constant care, and the most i tireless attention. This wearisome work j has been shared by Father Callaghan and j Sister Louise, to whom he modestly ascribes all the credit. One or the other of them is always at his side, and iie is never for even a moment left alone. The two take turns in sitting up with him on alternate nights, and they are assisted in this work by Father Bow r e, one of the local chaplains. Sister Louise—there is a sweet ami gentle sound in her very name—is one of the most devoted of women. Among the tow’n people j of St. Martin’s she is known for her kindly j heart and her tireless zeal in helping others. 1 The reporter saw her yesterday standing in j the window of the Archbishop's room, and seldom has he seen a more striking face. The j features are intellectual and the lines are i sharph dram, telling of night vigils and j weary days of watching. Her eyes are large and bright, and they have a far-away look, as though the soul within was lifted entirely from self and had a glorious glimpse of the celestial realms beyond the narrow limits of this world. She never tires in her care of the Archbishop, and her cheerful presence imparts a p easant aspect to the sick-room. It is she who arranges the flowers and gives those deft touches to the apartment which a woman alone can do, and which so ef fectual!}’ removes all stiffness and formality, replacing them with an inviting home-like aspect. In speaking of the Archbishop, Sis ter Louise is on every tongue, and all who know her refer in the highest terms to her matchless power of doing good. She is, in deed, a saint among saints. These two w’atchers, the mild-mannered and sweet-hearted nun and Father Calla ghan, for days have gone without regular sleep, and have only snatched a mouthful of food now’ and then, barely enough to sustain life. “I will always serve my Archbishop,” said Father Callaghan, “until he requires my earthly services no longer.” And in spite of the fact that his devotion to the aged prelate is unceasing, he persists in saying: “The good sister does fifty tiipes the work that I do.” “The old Archbishop,” remarked one of the villagers, yesterday, in speaking of the watchers, “would have died long ago if it hadn’t been for them two. They just won’t ’low him to die. And they do say that ’fore Sister Louise took the the veil people were saying she would never make a nun. Peo ple can’t always tell what is going to happen.” While those about the convent know that Archbishop Purcell must soon die, it is a source of regret that he could not have lived a few months longer. On the Ut.h of Octo ber, 1833, he was made h bishop, and if lie could live but for three months he would have filled the office for half a century. Few are the prelates that .have ever done this, and there has never been an instance of the kind in America, and none in this country have come as near to it as the Archbishop. He has lived intd the year, and now’ it seems hard that he cannot complete it. If by any chance he should survive until Oct, 13, it would be made the occasion of great rejoic ing in all the Catholic churches in the prov ince, which embraces part or all four States. The prelate himself had looked for ward expectantly to the event, but now all his hopes, and the hopes of his clergy and people, seem likely to prove futile. In the little cemetery attached to the con vent are the graves of the Archbishop’s mother, sister and beloved brother, and he was never tired of visiting the greeu mounds. There is a vacant 9pace between the first tw’o graves, that is designed for him, and there he frequently prayed. Father Callaghan very often took him to the spot, which is only a few yards distant, in his wheeled chair, ahd the Archbishop was iond of musing at the place, and recalling old memories of those who slept so quietly beneath the sod. Only a few days before he w’as taken sick he paid a visit to the cemetery, and pointing to the vacant space, said to his friend: “I am to be buried there.” He frequently spoke of death, but never with the least apprehension; rather w’ith anticipation. His life had been lived, his work had been done,, and he was ready to go whenever the Master called. To him the thought of death was, as it is to the prisoner, the thought of bursting his bars and breathing the boundless air of freedom. He regarded it as a happy release—a thing to be desired—and w’hen it comes he will meet it gladly. DAILY WEATHER BULLKTLN.

Then, to hide the deed, the old woman took the child and threw it in some weeds a few yards away, where it was shortly found, yet gasping, but death soon followed. The boy says that an older brother, Tom. Lindsey, a lad of sixteen, loaded the gun and told him if any one came to the house to ‘‘shoot ’em.” Boone County Medical Society.

I was also a sufferer from a severo catarrh and catarrhal couch; my appetite was poor, and my system a Sooa deal run down. Kr.owin'* the value of .yes’s Sarsaparilla, by observation of many other cases, and from personal use in former years, I began taking it for tbe abovo-namod dis orders. My appetite improved almost from the ftrßt%ioso. After a short time the fever and itch ing were allayed, anil all signs of irritation of the skin disappeared. My catarrh and cough were also cured by tho same meant’ and my general health greatly improved, ..ntil it is now excellent. 1 feel anundred percent, stronger, and I attribute these results to the uso of tho Barhapakilla, which I recommend with all confidence as the best blood mediciqe ever devised. I took it in small doses three times a day. hiki used, in all, less than two bottles. 1 place these facts at your servico, hoping their publication may do good. Yours respectfully, Z. P.

As the saying is, it begins and ends no where, and whatever business they do is largely tuien from more direct lines, whieii strike impo'tant towns, and the great trouble Is that to secure basineaa they must cut rate# and themselves stand the brunt of the cur. In passenger traffic, whenever they attempt to course full rates, their old issue of tickets held by scalpers is thrown on the market. This cuts heavily into tile revenue frmu this source. Then since the pol lightened its grip on Western roads, and shippers must pay full rate*, of course the shippers take the more direct routes, leaving no business for roads of the character of the Lake Erie Western, except that which friendly shippers may give them. F. ur mouths of the year the road has a good local business, and the other eight months it is rather slim. It would be hardly fair to charge the misfortune of this road upon the management, which doubtless has done the best it oomd, but it is unfortunate tbut the road is so unfavorably located. TRUNK LINES OVERREACHING. Western Reads Soffering from the Exac tions of Their Eastern Connections. The arbitrary rulings of the trunk liues to ward their western connections has been com mented f wheat and tl *ur by the wsy of the Southern l*aclflo and New Orleans to Liverpool at rates so low a* to drive the ocean marine service out of the California market—say sl2 or, at most, sl4 ton. If they can take wheat from rhq Han Joaquin valley to Liverpool at sl4 a ton, why charge $104.87*3 per ton for taking fruit by the car-load from Han Francisco to Chicago! Admit \hat it is worth twice as much per ton to carry fruit by the express trams as wheat by the freight trains, and we still have a discrimina tion of $24,433* per ton ugaiust the fruit in terest.

The Hottest Day of the Season—Two Cases of Suustroke, One of Them Fatal. Tbe signal service observer roports that the maximum temperature iu Indianapolis yester day was ninety-two degrees, Fahrenheit, and by general oonsentit is given tiie common rank of “the hottest day of the season.” Thermome ters,however, like the people, are not unanimous, and while tiie mercury up lu the signal service office was content to register 92° as its best days’ work this year, there were very ambitious little thermometers about town, which, in their zeal to give the day a record, were trying to climb over HKP. At 3 o’clock in tiie afternoon there were vague rumors afloat, to the effect That some obscure mercurial galoot had gone over the *cale at 100, and was in a fair way to cremate the whole neighborhood. Tiie thermom eter, however, is supposed to understand the need* of its constituents, aud It is uot tube ques tioned. The heat was probably greatest at 2:30 o’clock. Two persons wero prostrated during the afternoon. Frank Dunn, a carpenter em ployed on a building at the corner of Bt. Clair ami Mississippi streets, was overcome with heat about 3 o'clock, and was removed to the hos pital in tiie city ambulance, sufieriug from a *evero case of sunstroke. About midnight lie died—the first fatal case of sunstroke tn Indianapolis this hummer. Early in tiie afternoon a stranger named Hmitn be came overheated at the Union Stockyards aud was prostrated. He was taken to the hospital, and, although lie had not recovered conscious ness last night, there wan a marked improve ment in his condition, aud tho chances for his recovery were very favorable. Tiie home of the man is unknown to the hospital physicians. During tiie aiternoon another uihu was found lying on the street unconscious, aud tc was sup posed that ho had been sunstruck. ll* was re moved to the hospital, but it developed that he was only drunk, and last evening he was turned out to again struggle with “the enemy.” THE CITY IN BRIEF.

LOCAL POLITICS. Gossip About the Coining Conventions— Who the Candidates Are and What They Are Doing. As is usnally the case just previous to a politi cal convention, “the boys” and those who inter est themselves in polioal.affairs are just now al most wholly given up to politics and wire pull ing, and slate-making is going on at a lively rate by.the candidates and their friends. The former are numbered by scores and the latter by thou sands, so that, igoludjng both, there are a large number of people in this nook o’ woods who are gt preseM spending most of their time in trying to save tßeenuntry. Among the Republicans the most interest is being manifested, as the Democrats recognize the fact that there is very little for them to hope for. Hon. D. W. Grubbs, present incumbent, and Marquis J* Johnson, ex-Justice of thepeaoe, have thus far had everything their own way in the oan vass for the mayoralty, but there is no digulslng the fact that there is a very large element op posed to the nomination of either, and it is alto- f ether probable that a “dark horse” will yet be rotted out who will distance both of them. The raoe f©r the treasury stakes is confined to Newt. Patpresent incumbent, W. 8. It. Tarking top and Frank Blanchard, who has been con nected with tiie office for many years. George Braunig and James C. Wheat want, to be olerk, fmd Millard Con nett and Eugene Saulcy are wili ng to run for tus assessor’s office. Hon w. w. Herod is being urged by his frlstifls to become a candidate for mayor, and has decided that he would like to have it. Msjcfr Herod would make an exceptionally strong candidate, and the Democrat does not exist hereabouts who would stand even a snow flake chance of defeating him. There is not a map in Indianapolis who has a wider cirole of acquaintances. Tiiere has been considerable talk among the Democrats about nominating Hon. John A. Hol man for mayor. That gentleman recently stated to a Journal reporter that he would uot under any circumstances whatever cousent to make the race. Ex-Mayor James L. Mitchell said the same thing ou Monday. The Republican primaries are to be held one ■week from Friday evening. •■who will your party nominate for mayort” asked a Journal reporter of an influential young Demoerat yesterday. ‘‘Can’t say, but rather suspect it will be Joe Nichols,” was the answer. •‘Yon see it is this way. According to the recent basis of representation made for the convention, The south side will have a clear majority, ami they wHI-nainc the ticket. Judge Holman was talked of. and would make a good mayor, but he wears too clean shirts, and that wouldn’t suit the gang that will run the convention. If the Rcpublioans nominate some temperance or church man, we will nominate either Nlehol, or possibly Ed. Buskirk. If you fellows nominate a good man you will elect him.” “How about city treasurer!” “We will nominate Ernest Kltz—sure—and be will be a strong candidate. The other nomina tions are uncertain; but if the mayor is from the north-side, all the rest of the ticket will be from below the Union tracks. The W Bt. L.

What the “People’s Railway Com pany” Propose to Do. Almost Every State in the Union to Have an Unlimited Mileage of Narrow- Gauge Railroad. The articles of association of the People’s Rail way Company, comprUing something less than six yards of printed matter, were tiled with the Secretary of State yesterday. The details of this visionary scheme are set forth in full, with pro fuse paragraphic punctuation. John Raymond will never make Mulberry Bellers perfect until he has incorporated the articles in full The ob ject of the company, as stated in eight para graphs, is: “To organize a system to secure a uniformity in the manner of selling railway stocks aud bonds, dividing them into denominations that will reach the oapital of the producing ptibllo, for the building, equipping—or buyng railroads now built—and forever owning in its oorporate name, and maintaining, with necessary uppur tenanoes thereto, a complete system ot railroads, by the people and for the people of the United States of America. “To establish fast emigrant, express and freight lines. “To strictly prohibit Chinese or Mongolian employment in its various branches of labor. “To provide such by-laws as are necessary for the oomplete government aud management of •.no affairs of this company, as shall conform with the laws of the State of Indiana, or other States and the United States. “To establish local bourds for the banc ling of its stock and bonds, at such plaoeor places, with in or without this State, may be authorized by a majority of the board of direotors. “To establish at least ten depositories for the safe keeping of its funds or other securities wlthtu or without this State or the Uulted Slates. “To establish reasonable salaries for its offi cers; provided, that no officer shall receive a salary to exceed the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per annum. “To provide for a national syndicate, to be composed of net more than two hundred and fifty (250) members, to the stated sessions of which representatives may be admitted as pro vided form the by-laws of tnls association.” According to the specifications. America will be covered with a network of railroads, extend frotn Indianapolis in all directions. The lines specified are as follows: From Indianapolis to Chicago, through the counties of Marion, Hendricks, Boone, Montgom ery, Tippecanoe, White, Benton, Jasper, Newton and Lake, to a point on the line dividing the States of Indiana and Illinois, near Gibson, Ind., and Oalumpt, 111.; a distance of about 220 miles. From Indianapolis, thence in a southerly di rection through the counties of Mar|on, Morgan, JohusoD, Brown, Jackson, Washington, Bcott, Clark and Floyd, to a point on the southern boundary line of the State of Indiana, opposite or near to tlie city of Louisville, a distance of about 110 miles. From Indianapolis, thence in a westerly direc tion toward Bt. Lonis, and across the counties of Marion, Morgan, Hendricks, Owen, Putnam, Clay and Vigo, to a point on the western boun dary line at or near Farrington, tod., a distance of about 125 miles. From Indianapolis in a northeasterly direc tion toward the city of Cleveland, across tlie counties of Marion, Hamilton, Madison, Dela ware, Randolph ana Jay, lu the State of Indianu, to a point on the eastern boundary line, at or near where the dividing line between Mercer aud Dark couutles, Ohio, strikes the said boundary line; a distanoe of about 120 miles. From Indianapolis to Cincinnati, through the counties of Marion, Shelby, Rush. Decatur, Franklin aud Dearborn, in the State of ludiana, to a point on the eastern boundary line, at or near tlie point which would be reached by a line ten miles north of the Ohio river; a distance of about 120 miles. Beginning at the State line, foriniug a junction with the northern line first described running to Chicago, 111., in Lake county; thence in an easterly direction toward the city of Cleveland, via Toledo, 0., and through the counties of Lake, Porter, St. Joseph. Elkhart, Lagrange and Steuben, in the State of Indiana, cronsiug at or near teu miles south of tbe northeast corner of the State of Indiana; a distance of about 175 miles. Continuing the Western lines across Illinois at or neat- St. Louis; thence across Missouri, at or near Kansas City; thence west across Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona into California to Oakland, near the city of San Francisco, reao’.iing Los Angeles by a branch line, with such other Western branches as may be found to lie demanded and expedient iu the judgment of the board of dirdetore. An Eastern line, connecting at the northeast corner of Indiana to Toledo, across Ohio, with branches from Toledo to Deroit and Cleveland; thence to Buffalo, over Lake Erie, by steamer, or by a lake shore line, keeping about t wenty miles distant from the lake outhe south side; from Buffalo, thence across New York and Mass achusetts to Boston. At the northeastern boundary ot Indiana, thence east to Boston across the States of Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecti cut aud Massachusetts, reaching Cleveland, Har risburg, Philadelphia, New York and Boston.

From Louisville south across ths States of Kentucky and Tennessee to Nashville; thence with two branches, on to New Orleans, La., and the other to the Florida coast. From New Orleans west, crossing Louisiana, Texas and New Mexico to a connecting point with the main western line as may be reached by the survey. From New Orleans in a northeasterly direc tion to Norfolk, Vu.; thence np the Chesapeake bay by steamer, or along the western shore by rail to Baltimore.
