ROCK RIVER CONFERENCE.

Methodists In Session at Aurora Dwp. ly nixtnrbrd.

AUUOKA, 111., September 24.—Thesemicentennial session of the Methodist Rock River conference was called to order in the First Methodist church at 9 o'clock this morning by Bishop Randolph S. Foster, who will preside over the session for the coining week. Although the most strenuous efforts have been made to secure peace and harmony the sees ion promises to be a very stormy one. The arbitrary course of Bishop Newman, in this and neighboring conferences a year ago, sowed the wimfand the present conference in a fair way to reap the whirlwind.

Although the bishop has taken a trip in in the hope of producing the he trouble refuses to down, for the months numerous ministers and mi to say nothing of the laywomen,

Hfiavo been in correspondence more .. 'ess acrimonious. It is charged that Fowler upends too much of his time in and about Chicago, trying to punish some enemy with a poor appointment, or reward some friend with a good one. Thoro is no doubt that a good many preacher* have incurred the bishop's ill will, and they freely express their fears that he will secure all the plums for his personal friends and renegade his opponents to the poorest parishes in the conference. If he has dono so, however, he Ikw done it by correspondence, tor like his brother Bishop Foster has found it convenient to be elsewhere on the present occasion. _______

ARRESTED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT. JB. WnUnn'N Arrwt Procured toy an

JiHllaunpoll» firm.

Yesterday afternoon Bradloy, Holden A Co., of Indianapolis, caused to bo issued from Justice Felseuthai's court, a warrant for the arrest of E. M. Watson, the wholesale agricultural implement dealer of South Third street, charging that gentleman with having committed the very serious cripao of embewseling a $70 promissory note. The parties whoso firm nanyi 4e attached to the warrant are tho plain till iu the civil suit which is pending against atson. It appears that Watson disposed of goods and in payment accented promissory notes which he endorsed and handed over to Bradly, Holden ft Co., Watson's endorsement, in law, making him responsible for the payment of the notes. Watson was taken before Justice Felsenthal yesterdav and placed under $300 bond which tie readily furnished.

To-day has been inaugurated the great reunion of old soldiers of the Eighth Congressional strict of Indiana and comrades generally irom the eastern part of Illinois. It will prove before thethree days' of the reunion shall have run their race one of the most memorable events in the history of the Grand Army in the West. The country in all directions /or miles around Terre Haute and the Wabash Valley north and south has been flooded with advertising paper announcing all the features of the general programme and scores upon scores erf written responses have been received, heartv and spontaneous (even if not of like significance) as came the response to President Lincoln's call for help, twentynine years ago, "We're coming, Father Abraham, 300,000 strong." The reunion will be replete with interesting incidents and many facts of history dear to the hearts of our people, which perchance, the pages of the history of the old Hoosler soldiery do not and will never contain. For the benefit of its readers THK NEWS reproduces the three days' programme as follows:

Seldom has Terre Haute, particularly Wabash avenue, presented so beautiful and brilliant an appearance as it docs to-day. Standing on the West Side and looking eastward, one could almost imagine, if such a thing were possible, that a myriad of midsummer rainbows, painted by the deft hand of refraction ''upon the bosom of the mist" had been thrown, all at one time, into the busy thoroughfare, and, becoming entangled in the loveliest confusion, had clung where they could to cheer the eye and stir the heart with their prismatic brilliancy.

To-day Main street is simply an avenue of beautiful decoration. It is a picture of elegance. It is a painted recognition of the fact that to-day. to-morrow and Fridav constitute a reunion and a jubilee time ior those who were among the men to whose bravery and endurance and self-sacrifice is due the fact that tho government of the United States today is able to lift its head proudly and erect among the nations of the earth. Nearly every business house on Wabash avenue and cross streets is decorated, many very elaborately.

The

There are numerous regimental organisations from all over Indiana and many from Illinois which will be represented on the central roster spread this morn ing at Camp Craft in the office of I. C. Royse, secretary of the district assoct aUon. but those regiments of the Eighth Indiana Congressional district whose civic organisations have the reunion in charge are the Fourth Cavalry, Hxth Cavalry (Seventy-firet Regiment), Lteventh. Fourteenth, Thirty-first, FoYtythird, Eighty-fifth and Mnetv-eeventh Regiments Indiana Volunteer Infantry.

With the exception of the Thirty-first Indiana nooe of the regiments will have city headquarters, but Secretary Royse this morning moved his office to Camp Cruft and has a large register upon which he requests all old soldiers in camp or city to record their names and regiments withaut fail.

At Camp Craft,

There could certainly be no more suitable or beautiful location for Camp Cruft than the fair grounds. Under t' grand old forest oaks tn placed the white tents that for three days will afford an abiding place for the old boys who cut sit and muse over the memories of war timet, or gather around the c«unp fire, and as they break their hard tack and drain to the bottom their tin cups of black coffee, tell stories ol their experience during the dark days of the rebellion. There is ample accommodation «t the camp in tenia and barracks lot 1,000 men.

FEDERATED LABOR.

MMUSIT efllie Indiana labor Unions at Indlanapolla. The sixth annual session of the Indiana Federation of Trade and Labor Unions began in Central Labor Hall this morning at 11 o'clock. There were about one hundred delegates present from different trades and unions in Indianapolis, Lafayette, Logansport, Evansville, Crawfordsville, Lawrenceburg, Connersvillo, South Bend, Terre Haute, Vincennes, Noblesvillc, Peru, and there wasn't a dude in the whole lot, says the Indianapolis News.

The prime object of the meeting is to take steps to secure the combined influence of organized labor tlirougliont the state for the enactment of legislative measures that will better the conditions of the toiling masses. It was expected, of course, that other matters would como up.

The session was called to order by President Levy, of Evansville, who made a Bhort address He regretted that many labor organizations showed a disposition to be indifferent and stand aloof from the Federation of Trade and Labor Union, but he believed that when the good of the organization was understood that all labor unions would join the ranks. He jointed out the fact that organized labor lad brought about the repeal of the infamous intimidation laws had caused the enactment of the eight-hour law and the anti-Pinkerton law. President Levy

also recommended that the state organi-

Lafayette, presented iiis annual report, calling attention to the good results that have been brought about in various parts of the state by workingmen organizing, and he urged every laboring man to bring about an organization. He recommended that an Initiation fee of $3 be charged with aper capita tax of 0 cents per year on local subordinate organizations, and 18 cents on central del- gate bodies, payable semi-annually. He also reported the financial condition of the organization as showing a small amount of money in the treasury. The committees were then appointed.

THE FINCH MONUMENT.

The Formal Unveiling at Rose Hill Thla Afternoon. CHICAGO, III., September 24.—In the presence of a large and representative audience, representing a dozen or more —-77 -,

A special train of fifteen cars over the Northwestern road carried a large contingent of the participants, while others wentout in carriages and bya number of other roads. The exercises are nnder the auspices of 'the Right Worthy Grand Lodge, and wero presided over by B. F. Carter, of Milwaukee, its secretary. In his opening address he referred to the fact that the monument and statue had been donated by the Good Templars of Illinois. Addresses were delivered by Hon. S. B. Chace, of Pennsylvania, P. XL W. O. T. Dr. E. R. Hutch ins. G. C. T. of Iowa Dr. Oronapekha^ of Toronto, the famous Indian dignitary of the order, and other prominent Good Templars, and the statue was then nnveiled by the widow amidst enthusiastic applause.

The sudden death of John T. Finch, which occurred of heart failure in Boston on October 3,1887 cast a gloom over the temperance movement in all parte of the world. He was a temperance orator of great persuasiveness and a peculiar charm ot manner, and waa wonderfully successful in his pulpit ad vooicy. He became identified with Good Templar movements when but a lad. In 1SS7 he took a leading part in the Red Ribbon movement in hebraaka, and which resulted in the pledge betn* signed by over one-hundred-thousand people.

THE WATER WORKI COM

Mr. King made the point that contract, was perpetual and that only by reason of the company's violation was itviod. He is not in favor of proceeding,, under the old contract even if the company would live up to it. The council, in bis opinion, has no right to bind thft city by perpetual contract. Mr. Leinberger made a point that the water never was good and that even after the gowg^ay hay put_in ited to^Tid proposition"£o7emove~Tbe 100 extra plugs aud wishes the city to go into the courts to establish tho legality of its claim to a rebate on the money paid in the past for those plugs. It would not be well for the city to do this as the cost of litigation would doubtless be as largo as the amount of rebate demanded. The meeting resolved its self into an agreement on the part of the water company to submit a proposition next Monday night. It would be well for the council to dissolve the old contract aud then to abstain from making another. For the council to establish a legal water rate will be sufficient guarantee for the company. They should reduce the rate to private consumers. It is too high. There should be fully a 50 rer cent, reduction in this rate to bring it down to anything like the rate charged in other cities.

It is the desire of company to proceed under the old contract and doubtless

that basis. They see that if tho city can be induced to proceed under that contract it will relinquish its right to revoke it, which will again put the company iu possession mi, of a perpetual contract. The company has violated its cantract and now is the time to revoke it. If it is not done the result will be that the city will be perpetually bound under the terms of the old agreement.

A well-known citizen of the Fifth ward on

There was no arrest.

Stringing the Cable.

All that has been said of this gifted, girlish jewel in the way of promise cannot possibly convey an exaggerated impression of her transcendant ability. At the end of the third act the curtain was raised twice in response to the rapturous encores and Miss Marlow was compelled to come upon the stage.

The other members of the cast were good. II. H. Weaver's impersonation of Master Walter, the Hunchback, was an earnest and able piece of work. Cre6ton Clark, as Sir Thomas Clifford, was all that could be asked. Gertrude Johnson, as Helen, scored a great hit. She was superb and in the scene with Modus (Frank J. Currier) won tho heartiest applause. The show was a rare treat abounding in excellent features and all the members of the company acquitted themselves creditably.

Robert JDownlng.

For a considerable number of years the American stage possessed but one actor whom tho public consented to applaud in the nobly robust line of characters somewhat vaguely described as heroic tragedy parts. He became so thoroughly identified with the type magnificently celebrated in the repertoire of that superb master of passion, the immortal Forrestjjthat yojing actors of sterpromptings of'trieir *atilitieB and enter into competition with him for popular favor and managers of experience smiled with a condescending pity when it was suggested that this or that one of of our ardent aspiring youth's contemplated, however remotely, entering his exclusive province of valorous acting. By means of this deference to acknowledged power, coupled with the fact that most of th-* plays regarded with longing were private property. Mr. John McCullough continued through these numerous years to be the eminent type and unrivalled representative of this peculiar school of act-

lut the death of Mr. McCullough, lamented and sincerely mourned as it was by all who knew him, and esDecially by those who had been associated with him, removed the barriers that shut free ambition from golden opportunity, and we have not uninteresting spectacle this season of several actors boldly essaying to divide the honors hitherto centered upon one favorite of the people.

There are five actors who are now being seen in the features of the McCullough repertoire, but probably the most successful of these is handsome Robert Downing, who has crowned himself with unequivocal success, and gives proof that he is admirably gifted to gain reputation in the parts, a reoutation that will be nothing short of his predecessor. He hss both the good sense aud the sincerity that has put him in possession of the precise qualities necessary to the defini tion of the soul fulness ana mental levity of such plays. He possesses to an eminent degree those very charactcmtics necessary to make the characters a hying, sen turn personage, withjwhom one can thoroughly and entirely sympathize, and in whose fate naught but the liveliest interest can be taken. He attracts rather than repels his audience, and makes tBem suffer in his sufferings and rejoice in his gladness, which is the real test of artistic acting.^

He is theonlv actor now capable of fill ing the shoes of McCullough. Saturday evening he will be seen in his strongest part, that of "The Gladiator^, Secure seats at .Button's.

The resolution from the committee on judiciary recommending that the entire speech of Congressman Kennedy, of Ohio, attacking tho Senate be omitted from permanent publication in the Congressional Record was called up for action. Kennedy spoke in self defense, saying the party had promised to pass the election bill to give the nght to vote to every man and he felt justified in the criticism on the Senate for its refusal even at consideration. He produced an immense bundle of letters and newspapers clippings which he said indicated the Republican independence of speech of every point of tho country. He wanted to know on what floor or where the voice of the people could be heard if not here and added: "You may blot my speech out of the record but cannot wipe it from the quickened consciences of the people."

Rae, national president and master workman of the organization. It recites the dissatisfaction among the miners owing to Illinois prices being lower than elsewhere in the competitive district. The difference is 7i cents a ton in the northern part of the state and cents at Springfield, Pana, Girard, Taylorville, Streator, Mount Olive, Gillespie and all southern Illinois. le

The circular says that the policy bf'the miners' organization is against industrial warfare, except as a last resort, but as the operators have refused their frequent overtures, the men are compelled to adopt an aggressive policy. The miners are directed, on receipt of the circular, to demand the advance, to take effect November l,and to hold themselves in readiness to suspend operation on the same date if such a measure be deemed necessary to enforce their demands.
