The Stady at the Heavens. There was never a time whenth heavens were studied by so many amateur astronomers a at present. Ii every civilized country many excellent telescopes are owned and used, often tc very good purpose, by persons who arc not practical astronomers, but whe wish to see for themselves the marvelt

of the aky, and who occasionally stum

ble upon something that is new even tc professional star-gazers. Yet, notwithstanding this activity in the enltivatior

of astronomical studies, it is probably

safe to assert that hardly one person xc a hundred knows the chief stars by name, or can even recognize the principal constellations, much less distinguish the planets from the fixed stars And, of course, they know nothing ol the intellectual pleasure that accompanies a knowledge of the stars. Modern astronomy is so rapidly and wonderfully linking the earth and son to

gether, with all the orbs of space, is

tue bonds or close pnysimi relationship, that a person of education and general intelligence can offer no valid

excuse for not knowing where to look

for sinus or Aideuaran, or the Onor nebula, or the planet Jupiter. As Australia and Mew Zealand and the islancb of the sea. are made a part of the civil ized world through the expanding iniluenoe of commerce ana cultivation, so the son and planets

arotmd ns are in a certain sense 'falling under the dominion- of the restless and resistless mind of man.

We have come to possess vested intel

lectual interests in. Mars and Saturn, and in the sun and all his multitude oi

fellows, which nobody can afford to ignore. Perhaps one reason why the av

erage educated man or woman knows

so httie of the starry heavens is because it is popularly supposed that only the

mnt -rio-vcrnu telescopes and costly in-strii'is'-' . of the Observatory are capstils of -it ling with them. Mo create!

Treasury. Secretary Fairchild has issued instructions for the rigid enforcement of tie law which forbids the slaughtering of anyfnrbearing animal within the limits of Alaska or the waters thereof, except as specia'ly authorised.

The law authorizing the redemption of trade dollars has already been in operation over two months, and has nearly four months to run. It was originally estimated that there were about seven millions of these coins in this country, and the redemptions show that the estimate is nearly correct Importations from Chin and Japan may swell the amount to 8, 00 J. 01K).

THE INDUSTRIAL OTJTLOOX: A Chicago dispatch says : "Two thousand bricklayers quit work because their employers refuied to pay on Saturday. The custom has been for years to pay on Monday or Tuesday. The employers will not yield the point, having already granted every other demand made upon them; and in order to settle the question they have determined upon a lookout, even if it should involve all the building tirades. The strike of the bodcarriers still continues, and the walking delegates were busy perambnlatiog the streets in search of occasional union men who .might bo at work. Tn this way some five hundred men were called oil and added to the army of idler. A dispatch from Cliicago says: On the blackboard in the meeting-room of tho

Downey, Prwidoat " Tho meaning of this notice was oloar to all the contractors, master masons, carpenters, brick manufacturers, plasterers, and building-material men, who stood around tho hall in largo groups discussing tho situation. It meant that next Monday probably 50.00J mon will bs idlo, and that all contractors, as well as manufacturers and dealers in build-" ing materials, will have to rest for an indefinite poriod.

REGULATING THE RAILROADS Judge Cooley, Chairman of the lnteratato Commerce Commission, has aldressod the following letter to the other members of tho commission for their approval: The Interstate Commerce Commission has had transmitted to it from the State Department, a communication from William D. H. Washington? United States commercial agent at Lon-ion, Ontario, in which that officer lays before the department the disastrous effects ot the recont act to regulate commerce upon the trade of the United States with Canada, and gives instances to prove their alarming nature. 1'roru the communication's being sent to the commission J infer the department expects Eome notice to be taken of it, and, though the Commissioners axe jnst now separated, I venture to express my own thoughts. Mr. Washington's fears of disastrous consequences are, I am well assured, excessive. They will not to any groat extent ba realized. Some inconveniences must necessarily arise from putting in force a law which attempts such considerable changes, but they will bu greater at nrst than after the working of the law has become understood, and greatest while parties are hesitating to act hocause of doubts of constructions. Probably no important act ever passed by Congress has elicited such a variety of opinions and with such radical differences as the one in que? tion. The terms of tho act are not as olear as the.- might have beon ; but it should also be said thirt the state of mind iu which persons dif. feravtly circumstanced have come to an exam inatlon of the law has net been conducive to harmonious views. A careful reading of Mr. Washington's letter seems to show that tho consequences which he attributes to the law flow from the construction railroad managers have put upon it, and which may or may not be oorreat. In a recent visit of the Commissioners to the Southwest it was made very apparent in the testimony taken that some persons were excited by fears of the destruction ot their business which had no other basis than views of the law which were so erroneous tnat it would seem they ought not to have been entertained by anyone. I cannot help thinking that equally unfounded views have had much to do with the disturbances of trade of which Mr. Washington speaks, and that as these are correoted the disturbances will become comparatively unimportant. X .Shall remain in that belief until further experience of the law shall show its error. The Interstate Commission received a complaint from Chicago that the Sundayschool workers were cut off from "passes" and freight favors, and asking redress. The reply was that all suoh questions were in the hands of the railroad companies, and they must construe tho law to suit themselves until the points under it had been adjudicated. Charges are preferred that the Louisville, Evansville and St. Louis Bailroad has violated the interstate law by contracting to take corn to the seaboard from East St Louis, but in reality moving it only to Louisville, the scheme being to out the Louisville rato under cover of billing, and making a virtual reduction of 83 per cent from the regular tariff between St Louis and Louisville. Two charges, it is reported, will bo filed against the offender in the United States Court

He was afterward taken to the Parliament house, where he held a regular reception, English and Irish members alike crowding around him and shaking him warmly by the hand. What was most significant at tho meeting in the evening aside from tho crowded house were letters from Prime Minister Mercier and other members of the Government expressing sympathy for Ireland and the especial object of O'Brien's visit FOREIGN. The movements of the Russians in Asia wear a sinister aspect. It is rumored at Calcutta that thoy arc collecting suppl.es at Ohardjui, about two hundred miles from the Afghan frontier, preparatory to an advance on Khamaib.

The French Government has closed a factory near Luneville owned by a Gorman who employed mon belonging to the German imperial army. This action is supposed Ut be tho forerauner of other reprisals against the Germans.

LATER NEWS ITEMS. The lockout of ihe omployes of the building trades, begun Saturday, promises to be the greatest in the history of Chicago. Mr. Joseph Downey, President of the lluilders' and Trades' Exchange, said the lockout would undoubtedly be a lone one. "We are tired of this uncartriuty," he said, "und it's got to stop some time. Fully 50,0110 men have laid down their tools w.th a strong probability of not bavins an opportunity of using them agnin for mouths. Muu.v a poor many has earned his last dny's pay for a long time." President Kliver, of the Trndes Assembly, said that this lockout would make the warmest time in Chicago that there has been for many years. "Xt will be the duty of tho labor leaders," he said, "to try and control their men through the critical period, but it will bo a hard job, nud I fear there will be an open riot. Men - who hare been living for months on starvation wages, and have hardly a cent to their names, will grow terribly desperate. '1 here is, however, any amount of work in oilier western cities, and many men will doubtless seek employment elsewhere." This movement of the builders and material men was caused by the strike, Wednesday, of 1,000 bricklayers for a change of pay-day from Saturday to Monday. "It had to come,"

said a prominent builder. "We were tirod-

er being worried, w e coutu never tea where we siood or what we were doing. Everybody in the building business was in the same fix. Material men were just ns badly off, nnd at the last meeting of tho executive board it was decided that the next strike should settle the whole thing one way or the other- settle it for keeps. We want to know when we begin n job that we will be allowed to finish it on the same basis as we begin on. " A cabTjEGIiam from Kouie says: The Pope will, it is announced, communicate at once with Archbishop Corrigan, of New York, regarding tho caso of Dr. McGlynn. His holiness, it is stated, will, in this communication, approve the Archbishop's conduct toward Dr. McGlynn nnd charge his grace to warn the priest once for all that if lie does not present himself before the supreme ecclesiastical authority at Borne, within forty days, he will be formally excommuicated. Ax Coal Valley, Pa., Mrs. Cook undertook to use petroleum to kindle a fire. The contents of the can were ignited and an explosion followed.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.

Ihe Government Monthly Report Shows a Decline of Two Points in Wheat

Reports Showing tho Condition of growing Grain and Fruits 'in Illinois ami Indiana.

National Popart ment Report, Washington telegram. The report of the Department of Agriculture for May relates to the condition of winter grain, the progress of spring plowing, and proportion of the proposed cotton area already planted. It indicates a dcolino in the condition of wheat of two poiuis since April 1, tho general average for the whole country being HO, against U5 at the ?ame date in 1880, 70 in 1885, and 8'J in 1884. The changes in condition have not been uniform throughout the winter-wheat region, some States showing an increase, the majoiiiy a slight decline, and a few a heavy falling off. The States of the Middle Atlantic coast from Pennsylvania to North Carolina show some improvement. In New York and New Jersey the amount of winter-killing was not fully known on April 1, and this, with cold, unfavorable weather during the month, has caused a serious reduction of condition. Drought has reduced the average somewhat in the Eastern Gulf States, and has wrought very serious damage in Texas and Arkansas, lowering the condition duiing the month nineteen to ten points respectively. Favorable temperature and seasonable rains have improved the pros

pect in Tennessee, West Virginia, and Kentucky, the condition being considerably higher in those States than it has averaged in May for the past Sve years. The" most serious reduction of the month is in Ohio, where there is a falling off of eight points since the 1st of April. Michigan and Indiana show a slight decline, while in Illinois and Missouri there is a gain of one point. Unfavorable weather in Kansas and California has caused a slight falling off, while in Oregon the prospect has advanced, it being the only State in which condition reaches 100. The averages of condition by States are: New York, 80; Pennsylvania, 72; Maryland, 81; Virginia, 80; North Carolina, 90; Texas, 00; Arkansas, 93; Tennessee, U6; West Virginia, 89; Kentucky, 95; Ohio, 71; Michigan, U0; Indiana, 87; Illinois, 93; Missouri, 9G; Kansas, 81; California, 89; Oregon, 101. liye has suffered from the same condition which has seriously affected wheat, but on- account of its hardier nature the general average is considerably higher, standing at 90.8 against 92.5 April 1, and 95.7 at the same date in 1880. The condition of barley is low. the averago being 87.8 against 98.7 in May, 1880. and 8'J in 1885, The season hB been more generally advanced in all parts of the country than usual, spring plowing being seriously behind only on the Atlantic coast 6outh to Pennsylvania aud on the Pacific slope. The proportion of cotton already planted amounts to more than four-fifths the proposed area, and is slightly greater than at the same date in any of the preceding five years, bnt is a little less than the proportion returned by the correspondents as the average planting at that date. Reports from Illinois, Indiana, and Ulehigan. Springfield (Til.) special. Advance sheets of the May crop report of the State Board of Agriculture show the condition of winter wheat in Illinois May 1 to be 92 per cent, of an average. This is an advance of 2 per cent, over the previous month. It is still 6 per cent, less than the average condition of May 1, 1886. In the northern and somhern counties tbe average condition is 88 per cent., and the central counties 101, Indianapolis special. Beports from every county in Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio state that the wheat crop has been damaged somewhat by the spring rains, and the average percent, of condition during April was 83 in Indiana and Illinois and 79 in Ohio. The acreage of oats is 97 in Indiana, 104 in Illinois, and 98 in Ohio. The fruit crop promises to be larger than for several years past. Lansing (Mich.) special. The Michigan crop report for April shows severe drought in all parts of the State. On sandy soil wheat has made good growth, but on clay soil the growth has been unsatisfactory. Is the southern tiers of counties the condition is 87 as compared with average years. The central counties show 94 coudition, while the northern counties return 93. But littlo of the grain will be plowed up. There has been marketed 51,891 bushels of wheat. Clover is badly injured, and in many sections it will be plowed up. The condition of horses and other stock shows bnt little change since last month. Injury from Ihe Drouth. Front tho Chicago Tribune. Drouth in the grain fields of the Mississippi Valley was the one great topic of conversation in commercial circles Tuesday, and it materiallyinfluenced the course of" prices for the leading cereals. The ground is very dry in the Southwest, and to this is superadded the appearance of the chinch-bug in Kansas, while the news from the great spring-wheat regions of the Northwest was very bad, the crop pro3peots in the fertile Ked lliver Valley being described as poor indeed. Grass seeds and hay, as well as oats, corn, and wheat, promise but a scanty yield, unless there be a speedy change in tho conditions. And in some cases the season is too far advanced to permit reasonable-hope of a full crop. The time for spring showers has gone by, and the good, vigorous root, which is possible only when moisture has been supplied during tho early stages of growth, is hardly to be expected now, the indications being regarded as decidedly unfavorable to an average yield in proportion to acreage. Our street markets show the effects of the unusual dryness in other directions. The strawberry patches in Mississippi are deBiocated to the extent of rendering the fruit unmarketable, while the dusty appearance of the berries received from Tennessee tells of almost eirual drouth in that State.

GEN. liERDAN'S TORl'BOO.

Designed Especially for the Attack of Vessels Protected by the Steel Net. New York dispatch.'! The Berdan torpedo, a working model of which was shown before the United States Naval Torpedo Board at the Navy Yard Friday, is designed especially for the attack of vessels protected by the steel net, though equally effective in the absence of a net. The individual expression of tho members of tho Board was that of favor and admiration for the device, but this was not formulated by the Board, us it must await an authorization to aeeept the terms under which Gen. Berdan will let it go to the Government for trial. There is no doubt that an agreement will bo reached, und the trial made this summer. Out of twenty-five torpedoes offered to the consideration of the Board, twentythree were deemed to be unworthy of being ordered to trial. The one selected besides Gen. Berdan's was tbe Howell, a self-directing torpedo, against which tho net is a sufficient prottotion. Gen. Berdan has contracts with tho Governments of England, France, Germany, liussia, Turkey, Italy, and Spain for the use of Ibis invention. In England it is known as the "Yankee trick." The torpedo is described as a diving torpedo, with n Bnubbing line. It can be rigged on vessels of any size, and has the advantage of being capable of working effectually in heavy seas nnd rough wenfbT

Horrible Murder of an Old Woman in Her Lonely Home at New Haven, Conn,

Mother and Daughter Foully Murdered. Kteabenvillo (O.) special A shocking double murder was perpetrated at Ualiiday'8 Cave, Hancock County, W. Va., on the Pan Handle Itoad. When Mr. Van Baker, who left homo Monday at 1 p. in. and spent tho night at his father's, in Washington County, Pennsylvania, returned Tuesday morning, he found his wife, Eiiza Baker, and her mother Suzelle McWha, lying dead in the sitting-room with their heads beaten brutally by a car pin. An ax was also lying beside them. Mr. Baker says the only thing missing is $350 belonging to him. Evidences of search are plainly to be seen. The theory at first given for the murder is that it was for robbery. Mr. MoWha had a few days ago received several thousand dollars, and Monday he went to Pittsburgh to deposit it. His son-in-law, Mr. Baker, also being absent that night, it is thought some one familiar with the situation, but not knowing that the money was gone, attempted robbery, and being discovered and identified by the women, killed them to conceal their crime. Mrs. MoWha was 70 years old, her daughter about 40. The belief is general that the murderer is some one familiar with ihe family. An Aged Woman Strangled. New Haven (Conn.) telegram. Mrs. Margaret Ernst, a German lady, aged 74 years, was found early Tuesday morning by the milkman in the front room of her house, No. 34 Spruce street, with her hand and feet bound with ropes and a rope around her neck. She had been choked to death during the night and robbed. She was supposed to have had on her person at least $-100 in bills, but when the Coroner arrived Tuesday morning only $1.27 was found. She was the owner of two houses, and there is about $1,500 in the bank to her credit, she being worth about $10,000. f-he made a will about two years ago and had notified her attorney that next week sho desired to see him, as she had concluded to change it. The Coroner and police see in this fact the motive for the crime. She was the widow of John Ernst, a Union veteran who died twelve years ago.

EFFECTS OF THE EARTHQUAKE. lteport of Dr. D. E. Goodfellow Tho Damage Done in .Mexico Slight. Dr. D. E. Goodfollow, of Phot-nix, Arizona, has sent to Washington the following report of the earthquake: "The distance covered is 1,200 miles long and 000 miles wide. The general direction of the shock was southwest to northeast, and the average duration one and threequarter minutes. The damage done in New Mexico and Arizona is trilling. In Sulphur Springs valley, twenty-five miles from Tombstone, fissures occurred in the bed of an old stream and a considerable amount of water spurted up. After three days all were dry except some whioh appear permanent and are running a small amount of water of ordinary temperature. "Succediug the shocks fires were observed in many mountain ranges, which gave rise to reports of volcanic action. The first and most severo shock rolled bowlders down the mountain sides, raising clouds of dust, which, with the noise, caused many to think it an eruption. 'I here was no eruption in any part of the section disturbed. The railroad track, at a point where it runs east and west, was beut four and a half inches out of line for a distance of three hundred feet, the convexity looking south. Miners working six hundred feet up felt vibrations severely; some became sea-sick. The shock was not severe. In Frontereas, Mexico, ten houses were blown down, a child killed, and a man injured fatally. At Cumpas, one mile southeast, four houses were demolished." Dr. Goodfellow has gathered data and confirmed every statement before making his report. LIVED NEARLY 102 TEAKS.

Ho Toted for Madison and Cleveland, and Novel- Rodo on a Railroad Train. !Freeport (111.) tologram. The oldest man in Stephenson County, if not in Illinois, has just died at his home, about seventeen miles northwest of Freeport. Had he lived until July 29, Mr. Smith would have been 102 years old. He was born in Guilford County, North Carolina. In 1815 he moved to Highland County, Ohio, and from there cams to this county m 1840, and has resided here ever since. When about 20 years ok1 ho was married to Dorcas McDaniel in his native county. She bore him twelve children, all of whom but one grew to manhood and womanhood. Two years ago his hundredth birthday anniversary was celebrated with great pomp, there being present perhaps 2,000 people. When in his younger days he enjoyed fishing and hunting exceedingly, but "when it came time for him to get down to business he learned the blacksmithing trade, which he followed for some time. The greater part of his life was dovoted to farming. With the exception of chewing tobacco, Mr. Smith was a most temperate man all his life. He never joined any church, but had always been au attentive and careful render of the Bible, and about six years ago was baptized. He cast his first Presidential vote for James Madison, and his last for Grover Cleveland, and had always been a Democrat. He never rode on a railroad train and never ate a meal in a hotel. A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

Five Men Fatally Rurned at the Edgar Thomson Steel-Works. I Pittsburgh dispatch.) A terrible accident occurred at the Edgar Thomson Steel-Works, at Braddock, whioh will probably cost five lives. Furnace E was blown out a few days ago, aud Tuesday a gang of mon was put to work clearing it out. An arch had formed, oompewed of coke, limestone, and other materials, which was still at a red heat, and part of the men were working beneath this mass. Shortly after 10 o'clock at night, without warning, the arch gave way. The red-hot matter was thrown in all directions, knocking men down aud in some instances almost burying them. Few of the men in the vicinity escaped uninjured. In a short time the debris was removed, and five men were taken out in a horrible condition tho clothing burned from their bodies and the flesh literally cooked. Tho names of tLe victims are: John iSawloskey, John Geiucilt, John Gedard, John Lawatte, Charles I.edouofki. The physicians who are attending them entertain no hope of their recovery.

President Cleveland's Remarks in Accepting the Monument on Behalf of the Nation.

(Washington special.

The Army of the Cumberland could not have had a mere perfect day for their dedication exercises. Promptly at 11:30 o'clock General Baird, Chief Marshal of the parade, gave the signal for marching, and the procession started. A platoon of mounted police led the way, followed by General Baird and his aids, who preceded a carriage in which was seated Generals Sherman, Sheridan, and liosecrans, three of the four living commanders of the Army of the Cumberland. On a erand ntand near the statue seats had been arranged for 1,500 persons. Just before 1 o'clock tbe invited guests began to airive. James and Harry Garfield were escorted to seats by Gen. Mussoy, while Col. Wilson performed a similar office for the aged W. W. Corcoran. Secretary Bayard and Attorney General Garland were among the early arrivals. The members of the Supreme Conrt of the United States came in a body. The District Judiciary, members of the Court of Claims, and District Commissioners were also present. At 1 o'clock Geus. Sherman, Sheridan, and llosecrans and Gov. Curtin arrived in a carriage, just after tLe head of the procession made it3 appearance. They were soon followed by President Cleveland, escorted by Gen. Anderson, and Socretary and Mrs. Fairchild, Secretary and Mrs. Lamar, Postmaster General Vilas, and Col. Lamont. Ex-Secretary Windom and exAttorney General MacVeagU of President Garfield's Cabinet were among the guests present. At 1:10 o'clock Marshal Wilson, taking his place on the stand, said: I.aihes Avn OKSTr.KHEN Tho Society of tho Army of tho Cumberland, with these dis-t-inmiished e"''sta, aio asi uiblo 1 hore to-day fcr the purpose of unveiling the nfcitue of that eminent statetjiuau and soldier, James A. Garfield. The exercises wttl bo opened with prayer by tho Rev. Dr. Giesy. There was a short lull in the proceedings while a battery of artillery fired a national salute. Gen. Sheridan then introduced the orator of tho day, Gen. 3. Warren Keifer, who, oa the part of the Monument Committee, delivered an address transferring the statue to Gen. Sheridan. At its conclusion Geu. Sheridan, in behalf of the society, transferred the statue to the President in the following words: Mr. PBK8IDKNT This statue which has 1een unveiled in your prcRnuce to-day was erected by the comrades of Gen. Garneltl belonging to the Army oi tho Cmubcrlund. They recognized his rm-rit as a soldier and tiioy wished to pay som-j testimony t. tlmt inorit and to his worth as a man. 1 havo the honor, sir. on behalf of tho Society of the Army ol tho Cumberland, to ask yon as the representative of the uuerlcan Xeople to accept the statue from their hauds as it was given to.mo. Applause.) The President, who arose as Gen. Sheridan began speaking, then began his address, accepting the statue as a gift to the nation. FELtow-ciTtZESs In performance of the duty assigned to mo on this occasion. I hereby accept, on behalf ot tho pooplo of tlu United States, this complete and beantifnl statue. Amid the interchange of fraternal greetings between the survivors ot tho Army of tho Cumberland and their former foes upon the battlehold, and while tho Cniou General and tho people's President await burial, the eoinmoL grief of thos4 magnanimous survivors and inoi,rning citizens found expression in tho determination to erect this tribute to American greatness ; and thus to-day, in its symmetry and beauty, it E resents a sign of animosities forgotten, an ciuleni of a brotherhoo.1 redeemed, and a token of a nation restored. Monuments and statues multiply throughout tbe land, fittingly illUHtrati o of tho love and aiioction of our grateful people, and conmieui rating brave and patriotic sacrifices iu war, fame in peaceful pursuits, or honor iu public station. But from this day forth there shall stand at our seat of government this statue of a distinguished citizen, who iu his Ufa and services combined all tneBe tliiutis and more which challenge admiration in American character loving tenderness iu every domestic relation, bravery ou the field of battle, fame and distinction in our halls of legislation, and the highest honor and dignity in the chief magistracy of the nation. This stately effigy shall not fail to teach every beholder that the source of American greatness is confined to no condition nor dependent alone for its growth aud development upon favorable surruuudiuge. The genius of our national life liecko.is to usefulness and honor thoee in every sphere aul offers tho higheat preferment to manly hopes and sturdy, honest effort, chastened and consecrated by patriotio hopoa ami aspirations. As long as this statue Btamls let it be proudly remembered that to every Ameri.-an citizen tho way is open to fame and station, until ho "Moving up from high to higher, Becomos on fortunes crowning slope The pillar of a people's hope, Tho center of a world's desire." . Nor can we forget that it also teaches our people ii sad and distro-sing lesson, and tbe thoughtful citizen who views its fair proportions cannot fail to recall tho tragedy of a death which brought grief and mourning to ovory household in the land. But, while Amorican citizenship stands aghast nnd affrighted that murder and nssaHSination should lurk in the midst of a free people and strike down tho head of thoir Government, a fearless searah and tho discovery of tho rigin and hiding-place of those hateful and unnatural things should be followed by a solemn resolve to purge forever from our political methods and from the operation of our Goornmout tho perversions and misconceptions whioh gave birth to passionate aud bloodv thoughts. If from this hour our admiration of the bravory and nobility of Amorican manhood and our fuith in tho possibilities and opportunities of American citizenship bo rouewed ; if our appreciation of the blessing of a restored Union and love for our Government he strengthened, and if our watchfulness against tho dangers of a mad chase aftor partisan spoils bo quickened, tho dedication of this Btatno to the people of the United States will not be in vain. The President was frequently interrupted bv outburst of applause. When he had concluded the band played "Hail, Columbia," and tho Hev. F. D. Power, who was tho pastorof General Garfield's church in this city, pronounced tho benediction. The troops were then dismissed and the ceremonies came to an end. At the buinesss meeting this morning of the society Colonel Henry Stone, of Boston, was selected as the orator, nnd Colonel Wm. AlcMichael of New York, ns alternate of the next reunion. Chicago was selected as tbe place, and Chickamauga week in September, 1888, as tho time for holding the nest reunion, GKN. SEDGWICK'S MII.UORIAI-.

INDIANA STATE NEWS.

Attorney General Michener has filed a suit against H. C. Tinney, Clerk of Tippecanoe County, la compel him to pay over $1,300 claimed by the State. The money is the unclaimed residue of the estate of Annie Gwimp, deceased, and tho law provides that such moueys shall be paid to the State, to be held in trust for future claimants. Mr. Tinney claims that the law only requires Mm to pay the money to tho County Treasurer, and that official to the State. He wants to find ont to whom he must pay it, and has refused to pay, so that it may get into Court and bring a decision which can bo used as a precedent It iaa lest case. The Auditor of State asked for the Attorney General's opinion regarding the right of a County Treasurer to retain 6 per cent, of delinquent taxes collected by prosecuting attorneys under Section 6491 of tho Revised Statutes. Attorney General Michener holds that a county treasurer, under Section 6928 of the Bevised Statutes, x is entitled to retain 6 per cent, of nil de- -linquent taxes collected. There are no words of limitations in the Statute. On tho contrary, the law expressly says that the treasurer is entitled to 6 per cent, of ' the collections no matter by whom they are made. A man was taken from his bed by a band of masked men and tied to a tree in his yard, and unmercifully whipped. Ho is a young married man, and lives about five miles south of Corydon. Just before orders were given by the captain of tho gang to lay the lash to his bare back, ha was informed that he was about to be whipped for general cussedness. But the true reason of the whipping he received is supposed to bo that he had denounced toe Knights of the Switch, and had accused a numbor of parties of belonging to the organization. His dose was a terrible one. In the Allen County Circuit Court judgment in foreclosure was rendered in favor of H. B. Hollins against W. K. Vanderbilt and the Nickel Plate Railway for $281,0G7. Tho property affected, and which will be sold' by the Sheriff at Fort Wayne, is the bed of the old Wabash aud Erie Canal from the Ohio State line to LaGro, Ind., a distance of thirty-three miles, except five miles constituting the Nickel Plate right-of-way through Fort Wayne.
