The Democrats are in Doubt.
The Frankfort News has the following concerning the Democratic confer ence at Frankfort yesterday: "The Democracy of the Ninth Congressional District had a conference in Frankfort to-day. None but the chairmen and a few local bosses were admitted, and that which transpired is a secret. The News interrogated one prominent Frankfort Democrat as to the result of the conference with reference to a Congressional nominee, and his reply was: 'That matter was discussed to some extent, and opinion was divided as to whether or not Democracy should make a regular nomination or endorse Mr. Cheadle's candidacy. There was a variance of opinion on the subject But little of the time of the meeting, however, was devoted to this question, there being other business that is at this time considered of more importance, demanding the attention of the organization. We concluded that we would let the Congressional matter rest for the present.' "Other Democrats were seen by the News, and each 'had nothin' at all to say.' "Like the jurors that agree to say nothing as to bow they stood, they'll probably remain silent only a few hours."

Flsli at Columbia City—News Notes of Indiana.
MARENGO, Ind., May 20.—A tragedy, resulting in the death of William Hobson and fatal wounding of James Weathers, occurred in this village Sunday night. James Weathers had started to church. On his way he was called to by his brother-in-law, William Hobson. Hobson was accompanied by his son, who warned Weathers not to stop, but to run for his life, as his father intended to kill him. In attempting to escap, Weathers fell, and before he could regain his feet Hobson was upon him, and with a heavy club began beating him over the head. Weathers then opened fire upon his antagonist, firing three shots into his breast, one of which pierced the heart, and Hobson fell a corpse across his victim's body. Weathers became unconscious immediately after the shooting, and is now reported to bo dying. The trouble grew out of the fact that Weathers: had purchased a piece of land that Hobson wanted. Hobson is supposed to have become suddenly deranged. Both men were prominent in church affairs and are widely known in southern Indiana.

RETIRING BISHOP TALKS.
He Has Kindly Feeling For the Delegates and Apologies For Conference.
CLEVELAND, May 21. Yesterday's session of the Methodist Episcopal general conference was devoted to the transaction of routine business which was sandwiched in between the ballots foi for the election of two agents of the book concern, each for New York and Cincinnati, and two agents of the Missionary society. The conference did not lose any time.
An incident of the session -was an address by Retiring Bishop Foster that
EX-BISHOP FOSTER.
was full of kindly feeling for the delegates and of aplogies for the action of conference in voting him non-cffective. Bishop Foster said that since his retirement he had been flooded with telegrams and letters of sympathy in which the action of the conference was characterized as an outrage and as cruel and brutal. In some of them the word "humiliation" occurred.
He said he had been 59 years a minister of the Methodist church. He had never consciously done anything for which he should be humiliated, nor had any brother in the ministry or laity done anything which humiliated him.
He said the writers of the letters of sympathy did not understand the economy of tho church, which provided that the time must come in every man's life when he must be superannuated. That was what had happened to him. He believed the hearts of the delegates were affectionately dispesed to him and that their action was for the best. He would go into retirement with the kindliest and most loving rememberances and without feelings of resentment.
As Bishop Foster concluded. Bishop Bowman arose and said, "All that I desire to sav is amen."

Northern Indiana Democrats Favor Sliively Governor—New Fest Appears In the Fields of Wabash County—School
Enumeration Falls Off—Ended His Sufferings—Indiaua News Notes.
ALEXANDRIA, Ind., May 19.—The Woman's Christian Temperance union of this city is engaged in a novel combat with the liguor traffic and the eyes of other branches of the union are being turned upon the fight. The great Union Steel Works company will not allow their employes to drink intoxicants while on duty, and several months ago a saloon was opened up immediately outside the yards of tho great plant, which employes 1,000 men, and is a perfect hotbed of industry. This saloon depended for its patronage upon the factory employes, and it was in order to drive this saloon out of existence that tho W. C. T. U. devised their now famous scheme to steal away its trade and cause it to leave. At a meeting of the W. C. T. U. the plan was discussed and a committee appointed to wait upon the steel company, and that corporation at once took hold of the matter, and has lent its assistance to make the movement what it now is, a big success. The ladies opened a temperance saloon and the employes can get soft drinks and lunches. The ladies say the reason they have so many customers is simply by making their food and drink as good as they kiiow how and by treating their customers courteously.

They appeared to come from a strip of woods and, invading a line field of corn, ate four acres of the grain off just above the ground. Mr. Sarbuek says they are in evidence in countless numbers on his place and farms adjacent, and his neighbors are much alarmed by their appearance.

EDIXBURG, Ind., May 19. Frank Shields, who shot and killed John Wade, a saloonkeeper, here several days ago, has been indicted at Franklin fcr murder.
