Commissioner of Pensions Dudley reports that on June 30lh, 1883, there were pending in the pension office 21,1 .SO claims for pensions from Indiana soldiers, 13,068 of which involve arrears.

Governor Butler's appointment of a colored man to the judgeship of the Charlestown, Massachusetts, District court, is about the heaviest dose of gall anil wormwood the blue bloods of Beacon Hill have yet been asked to swallow.

Coeducation of the races is stirring up Lawrenceburg, Ind. Some colored pupils having been admitted to the public schools, a number of whites have threatened to withdraw their children, and Mr. Terrill, of Kentucky, whose daughter is a teacher in one of the schools, says that unless the colored children are excluded she will tender her resignation.

Ex-Senators McDonald and Hendricks, rival candidates for the Demo cratic nomination for the presidency, have returned from their pilgrimage to Iowa, where they filed their bids for the Iowa delegation in next year's Democratic convention. The Iowa Democrats will not decide whom they shall serve until the majestic form of Uncle Sanuny Tilden makes its appearance upon the stump in that state.

Indiana caves are to be famous. The Wyandotte cave has been long known as the next most wonderful cavern to the Mammoth of Kentucky. Now there has been discovered anotner ouvienu.nean wonder in Crawford county in which county one had already been explored and pronounced an equal of the Luray cavern in Virginia. It is surmised that this latter Crawford county cave is connected with the one heretofore discovered, although the entrances are a number of miles apart.

It is pleasing to have Buch celebrities as Lord Chief Justice Coleridge and Herbert Spencer come to this country, and we are glad to do them the honor their merits command, but it is equally as disgusting to see the Earl of Onslow and like snobs and sprigs of nobility, demanding homage and receiving the adoration of half-brained fools of the dude persuasion. This Onslow has recently been at Newport, where he reigned as the autocrat of dudes. Then he went on the Northern Pacific excursion and disgusted everyone by his arrogance.

All advices from New York and eastern jobbing points in general, are to the effect that the outlook for the fall trade is of the most encouraging character. In the dry goods line this is particularly true and no feature of the indications is more assuring for improvement in legitimate business than the fact that while legitimate business ia^kiing up speculation in stocks is extremely dull. W»n street brokers complain that conditions of the stock market that heretofore never failed to bring in a large amount of orfrom the country are not having any effect on their business. Wall street can have its little excitements all to itself. Here and there have been business failures or institutions crippled by the losses of some one in control through speculation and the lesson of these disasters is apparently more heeded than formerly was the case. A careful analysis of the business failures shows that a great majority of them arise from too daring or foolhardy speculation, and that in but few instances are they attributable to a depression in the legitimate business of the country.

ders now

The lOth of November was the birthday of ^Vlartin Luther, but it has been thought best to have the celebration at different places and on different dates so as to allow the giving full opportunity for persons in all parts of the German Empire to honor his name. Speaking of Luther's career, the Chicago Inter-Ocean says, "it strikingly illustrates the truth that sentiment is the flame that converts the water of thought into the steam of force. Ala great man intellectually, his greatness was not intellectual. There was very little of the typical German about him. Perhaps the Lutheran type is more numerous than foreigners generally suppose, but the commonly accepted representative German is coldly and severely rationalistic. In another respect, however, Luther was broadly national. He had very little of the austerity which we call Puritanism. He delighted alike in psalms and songs. To the Englis Scotch or American idea of such things there is inconstancy in the fact that he wrote one of the grandest hymns and one of the j- -liiest drinking songs to be found in any language. From his own and the national point of view he was simply illustrating the Hebrewproverb about a time to weep and a time to •ance.

In this country it is common

ink of the Germans

free-thinkers

in religion, and very many of them are, including multitudes who are nominally Catholics or members of some Protestant church but there is a very large element which is deeply religious. Several Lutheran churches flourish in this city, composed mainly of the industrial classes. The services in several of these churches are in English. The tendency in the Lutheran church is toward closer alliance with the evangelical element of the church universal, and that in both Vielief and discipline. The rationalistic element has now gone so very far that the church has abandoned the idea of conciliating and retaining the heretics."

RAILWAY MATTERS.

The Enterprise of Terre Haute Bailway Men, and What the Railways Have

Done For Terre Haute.

Condnctors Wise and Cornell Tender Tlieir Resignations—Other Railway Jfews.

From a little village on the Wabash, Terre Haute has grown to be a great railway centre. Nine railways centre here from all directions—two from the east, two from the west, one from the north, one from the south, one from the northeast, one from the northwest and one from the southeast. This gives UB (by means of consolidation) two great trunk lines running east and west, and one north and south. More people pass through Terre Haute between the east and west than any other city in the west with the possible exception of Chicago and Indianapolis. The great line of east and west trayel passes through here. Thousands of strangers go through the city weekly, and as Terre Haute bears the reputation of a good, live town, it has been the means of attracting people to our city, and has been a great factor in our increase of population. The shops located here have brought hundreds of working men to our city, and their pleasant homes can be seen on eveTy street. The railway employes of Terre Haute are of the orderly, progressive kind. Many engineers, firemen, brakemen, and employes of all descriptions own the houses in which tliey live, have good bank accounts, and have done much in the financial way to build up the city. There are not many cities where there are so many railway men as in Terre Haute and where the men are BO orderly. Here it is a rare thing to see a railway man carousing on the streets. Orders among them, such as the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fremen, have done much to discouraging drinking. They are a social class, and in and around the shops where hundreds of them work they are as kind and courteous to a stranger as to their nearest friends. This one thing is commented upon by strangers to a great extent. Among the engineers, me many prominent citizens. Many of them, by their untiring industry, have accumulated a property that will care for them in their old age. The same can be said of conductors, firemen and brakeman. There seems to be a brotherly tie between Terre Haute ..11 way men wherever they meet they are as brothers. Whenever one leaves the city he has pleasant memories of the bustling Prairie City, and always stands up for it. No praiseis too lavish for him to give, and nine times out of ten if he has a chance to return he accepts. Absence of years does not seem to affect his regard and love for

Terre Haute, and whenever he meets a Terre Haute man, he extends the right, hand of fellowship.

The railways and the railway men have made Terre Haute what she is. To them a debt of gratitude is due. Their prosperity is the city's prosperity. Whenever the citizen, looking upon the busy streets of our city, sees the many manufacturing enterprises, he cannot help but recognize the fact that all this is due to the generous course the railroads have pursued toward the city. Terre Haute has been blessed with many liberal railway managers and builders. The debt of gratitude that Terre Haute owes to that pioneer railway builder, Chauncey Rose, will never be forgotten. To President McKeen, of the Vandalia, Terre Haute owes a great debt of gratitude. He, too, like Rose, thinks there is no place like Terre Haute, and never tires in aiding to make the city prosperous. Others might be mentioned who have thrown their energy in this direction.

That Trouble Among Conductors. For several days rumors have been flying around regarding a narrow escape from a bad wreck on the west end of the Vandalia. The Indianapolis Journal seems to be conversant with the affair, and is authority for the statement that John W7ise, one of the oldest passenger conductors on the Vandalia road, and Dick Cornell, have tendered their resignations owing to a misunderstanding of orders. On Thursday night the fast mail train east left St. Louis in two sections. The first section was in charge of Conductor Cornell, and his train carried a red flag. At Collinsville, Cornell met the fast express going west, in charge of Conductor Wise, whose train was somewhat late, and he had on a number of passengers wishing to make the western trains out of St. Louis, and, as it was several minutes later that the second section was to leave St. Louis, Wise thought he would have time to make the run to the next station, some eight miles, and Cornell as well expressed such a belief. Conductor Wise instructed his engineer, Irwin, to go on, but run with caution as he approached the station. Irwin says he objected. "Wise says he did not. At any rate, Conductor Wise started on with his train and some two miles this side of the station he tried to make Ins train and the second section come up face to face. Fortunately both engineers saw that something was wronir. applied their air brakes, and the trains came to a stand still just as the pilots touched each other, and what might have been a serious wreck was prevented. Conductor Wise, on reaching St. Louis tendered his resignation, and Conductor Cornell, on learning of the narrow escape from a wreck, telegraphed back his resignation.

Jay Gonld's New More.

The talk that Jay Gould has secured control of the L. it N. system has created a flurry iu railroad circles. The Indianapolis Journal is authority for the report that it means a great deal for Indianapolis. A reporter in conversation with an old railroader, who is conversant with the Louisville & Nashville company, and who has, within the last day or two, met a high official of the Louisville & Nashville road, and talked the partially confirmed rumor over. Said official admitted that there were reasons to believe that Jay (iould had secured an interest in the L. «& N., which would result in his having a voice in the management of its affairs. The party then turning to the reporter, said: "Do you know that this deal of Jay Gould's is of more importance to Indianapolis than it may seem to be without some thought." In talking with the L. N. official he dropped the remark that Jay Gould's getting the L. & N. system would na turally lead to his connecting the L. & N. system with the Wabash in some manner. "Yes,"said the official, "before many weeks you will see an engineer corps in the field surveying a short line to Indianapolis, where connections would be made with the Wabash system through what was formerly the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago road. Jay Gould would then have the short line between all the prominent cities of the south and Toledo and Petroit, in fact, all of the northern Michigan." The L. & N. official then went on to say that the distance between Louisville and Indianapolis could be shortened some ten miles, it had been etated, by building a line west of the Jef-

fersonville, Madison & Indianapolis road, varying from twelve to fifteen miles distant, and it could be built with lighter grades than the J., & I., and would at the same time give a territory railroad facilities which now has none, practically. In answer to the remark that it looked as if Jay Gould was determined to cover the ground with his several systems, the L. & N. official said: "Yes his several systems would then reach all important towns and cities in seventeen states of the union, and really make him 'boss' of the situation, as the L. & N. would give him control of the central system of southern roads.

Killed on the E. T. H.

George Boone, aged 19, a resident of Emison station, in attempting to board an E. & T. H. train at Vincennes, Friday afternoon, lost his balance and falling under the wheels, was horribly mangled, being completely decapitated.

New Stations on the Van Extension. The Vandalia will commence running regular trains on the Logansport extension to-morrow. The following are the names of the new stations and their distance from Logansport: Stations. Miles. Verona j*' Altoner }. Grass Creek Kenona 19.0 Brune Lake 22-j Mardsland 27-3 Castleman 28.1 Marmont «1.I

The track is reported to be in excellent condition, and as good time can be made over it as on the old line of the Logansport.

A Haunted Engine.

Detroit Free Press. From time to time hints have been throwQ out concerning the haunted engine of the Detroit, Lansing & Northern railroad. Of late so much has been said that your correspondent determined to enquire into the matter. The engine (No. 20) is run at Edmore as a yard engine by Cal Piatt, from whom I learned that the locomotive had been the means of causing the death of several people, and only last spring ran over and killed a man near Portland. The side which has run over the bodies keeps up a constant groaning, and moans like a human being in distress. It has since been oiled and everything done to stop this noise, but it has no effect whatever. The latest freak in which it lias indulged occurred one day last week. The engine was standing on the track and the engineer standing beside it, but no one was touching any part of the machinery, when the bell commenced ringing and continued for several seconds. Several persons standing by witnessed this, and say thev would swear that it was a fact. Engineer Piatt says that he is not naturally superstitious, but he doesa't know what to make of it.

L. Harris' patent scraper is proving a success. A. J. Mackey, ot the E. & T. H., was in the city yesterday.

A car load of walnut logs came up on the E. & T. H. yesterday, bound for Liverpool.

The E. & T. H. are removing the 50,000 brick from the vicinity of the old round house and taking themtoEvansville, to be used on the shop extension.

George Hunter's spark arrester is proving to be quite an invention. He is a son of Hon. M. C. Hnnter, and en tered the shops about five years ago to learn the machinist's trade.

The I. & St. L. between this city and Mattoon is in splendid condition. The various bridges all along the line have been repaired and strengthened, and nothing that will add to the comfort and convenience of those who travel on this road is lacking.

H. 33. Ledyard, president of the Michigan Central road, is said to be the youngest man in the country who holds so high a jiosition. While still on the sunny side of forty he finds himself at the head of the executive department of one of the great railroad corporations of the country. He was born at Paris while his father, the late Henry Ledyard, was secretary of legation there, and his grandfather, General Lewis Cass, was United States minister.

By Associated Press. Cutting Rates. CHICAGO, September 15.—In accordance with the announcement made in these dispatches last night, the Panhandle route inaugurated a cut rate of six dollars to Louisville this morning, the regular rate being nine dollars. This was at once met by the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago.

The Pan Handle road began the cut of S3 to-day from Chicago to Louisville. The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road will meet it, and it promises to be an energetic fight. The Pan Handle's object is to stop the cutting of rates through scalpers.

In the afternoon the Pan Handle road further cut in the rate to $5 till further notice. This was at once met by the Kankakee line and the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago on Monon rates. A leading official of the latter line said to an associated press representative: "You may say lor me Monon route will meet any rate trade by rival line$ and will not be the first to cry for quarter." A telegram received" from the general passenger agent of the Kankakee line says meet any rate made by the other line. All parties in the interest admit they are in for it and rates will probably go down to zero.

MBEIi DEFINED.

Judge Adams' Charge in the CraftJournal Libel Proceeding. Indianapolis News.

The Craft libel suit against the proprietors of the Journal went to the jury this morniDg in the Circuit court. Judge Adams in the course of his charge said:

The proceedings in courts of justice are public in their nature. A newspaper has a right to publish fair reports of such proceeding, as the defendants alleged to have been had in the United States court, unless the court forbade such publication. If you find that such publication complained of by the plaintiffs was a fair and truthful leport of a proceeding or decision rendered in a court of justice that it was published without malice, in good faith as a matter of news, your verdict must be for the defendants.

In order for a publication to be privileged as a report of court proceedings it is not necessary that it should be a full report. A newspaper, if|it desires, mav|give an abridged and greatly condensed report, provided it is substantially a fair account of what took place in court. Neither is it necessary that the report should be absolutely accurate. Slight errors may easily occur and yet not substantially alter the impression which would be made by the publication on the mind of the average reader who reads the report straight through, knowing nothing of the case. If you find from the evidence that the publication complained of by the plaintiffs was a substantially fair report of a proceeding or decision in a court, notwithstanding it was abridged and though there may have been slight inaccuracies made unintentionally, and you find that it was published without malice in good faith as a matter of newB, your verdict should be for the defendants.

The jury, this afternoon, after three hours' deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendant.

ST. LOUIS GAMBLERS.

A Move to Recover Control of the City Through the Police Department. ST. LOUIS, September 15.—The resignation made public to-day of VicePresident Dan Kerwin, of the police commission of the police board, and the disclosures he has made, reveal the fact that the lottery men and gamblers have for some months past been engaged in an attempt to secure control of the police department as they had five years ago. Mr. Kerwin said that he resigned because influences were at work forcing the board to place dishonest men in positions occupied by honest and capable officers of long service. The recent chief, who has been the effective instrument of the board in keeping gambling out of the city, has been the object of their steady attacks, and the removal of the captain of the mounted district, where stables are kept—in the management of which, Mr. Kerwin says, $5,000 a month could easily be stolen—lias also been one of the demands of'the rings, which is said to be a remarkably powerful organization, including all the gamblers and lottery men and several prominent lawyers and politicians. Gov. Crittenden, who has a grudge against Kerwin because the latter refused to carry out the Downing law in the manner prescribed by the governor has accepted the resignation, and it depends altogether upon the character of his new appointments—another of the commissioners going out shortly— whether the gamblers are again to be in the ascendency as of yore.

BIBLE REVISION.

The Old Testament Soon to be Finished. NEW YORK, September 15.—Prof. W. Henry Green, of Princeton, N. J., who is one of the American committee on the revision of the Old Testament, says that a meeting of the committee will probably be held at the Bible house the last Thursday in the month. The revision is nearly completed, and the work will be ready for publication some time next year. Th3 Hebrew text upon which the new veision is based is that known as the "Masoretic," or traditional. The English and American committees have been working in concert, and the plan pursued has been for the English committee to revise a certain book and send the result of their labors over here. The American committee then went over the work, made such suggestions, objections, alterations, and additions as appeared to them to be necessary, and resubmitted the work to the English committee. The English committee then reconsidered the whole andagain sent the result to America, when the process was repeated and the work returned to England. Having been revised a third and last time in England, it was sent back here, and the present is the third and last revision here.

Starving Condition of Payne's Colony. WACHITA, Kan., September 15.— Captain David L. Payne, the Oklahoma boomer, says his colony, now encamped upon tha Cimarron river, in the Indian territory, is starving. The decision of Judge Cary, in refusing to allow a temporary injunctionin Payne's case, has thrown a wet blanket over the hopes of the colonists here. Payne says that fully 150 men are in camp now on the Cimarron river, but their condition is a destitute one. They were in there awaiting and confident of a favorable decision from Judge Mc Cary, which they failed to get. Payne says:

There are 7,000 members of our colony each one of these rifrembers will take a bet of $5 that Secretary of the Interior Teller will not be a member of President Arthur's cabinet when congress meets. Here is a chance to make $35,000 if Teller fails to resign before congress meets and that he will do this to keep from being impeached

Payne further says that if congress will open the territory to white settlements, he will put 20,000 whites into the territory in sixty days.

Electing a Cherokee Chief. CHATTANOOGA, September 15.—An election has just been held by the Cherokee Indians east of the Mississippi, for chief, assistant chief, and counsellors from every connty to the annual convention to be held in North Carolina next month, which appoint delegates to Washington to prosecute the claim of the tribe against the government.

The Dead Journalist's JFuneral. NEW YORK, September 15.—The funeral of Hugh J. Hastings, late editor and proprietor'of the Commercial Advertiser, took place this morning from St. Leo's church. It was largely attended by many of the most prominent citizens. The remains were placed at the head of the center aisle in front of the alter which was draped in black. Floral offerings were abundant and rich in design many of the pieces being sent by employes of the Commercial Advertiser. The church was by far too small to accommodate nearly one half of those who came to pay the last tribute of respect to the dead journalist. The attaches of the Commercial were present in a body. Low mass requiem was celebrated by the Rev. Fathers Daicy and Tole and the former delivered a brief but impressive address eulogizing the memory of the deceased. The pall bearers were President. Arthur, Roscoe Conkling, Hugh J. Jewett, Jay Gould, Samuel Tilden, Gen. Eckert, Jenkins Vanschaick, Wm. 8. Weed, of Albany, Isaac W. England, T. Nelson Tappan and John Hoey. The remains were taken to Albany for interment.

Was He Insane.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., September 15.— The counsel for Mrs. Regina Haas and her two daughters entered proceedings in libel, to-day, against the Evening News Co., with damages fixed at $20,000.

The complainants allege that the articles in question stated that the wife and three daughters formed a conspiracy to get rid of Haasby having liim placed in the Norristown institution. Haas was taken to the Norristown asylum the 31st of last month by order of the court, based upon the certificate of two physicians. After one week's incarceration he was released by an asylum superintendent, who pronounced him sane.

LITERARY.

Perhaps no recent publications have attracted "so much attention as the "Famous Women" series. The characters selected for these biographical sketches have been invariably women whose lives have left a very deep impress on the literary world. The last volume of the series is Mary L»inb, by Anne Gilchrist. All the beauties of that life of "double singleness" and entire mutual devotion begun between Charles Lamb and his sister Mary, after the tragic death of their mother, are delightfully portrayed. 12mo, cloth, $1.00. Roberts Bros., Boston, Mass. E. L. Godecke, Opera house book store. "A NEWPORT AQUARELLE"—Is, as its name implies, a sketch of that very fashionable summer resort, and different sorts of society people to be met there, done in light or water colors. There is little or no plot to the story, the names of the several characters in the books being an almost perfect index to the light characters. 12mo, cloth, 81.00. Roberts Bros., Boston, Mass. E. L. Godecke, Opera house book store.

AMUSEMENTS.

Haverly's Minstrels.

The minstrels drew a good paying house last night, though not quite the packed house we usually give to burnt cork. It was an amiable audience one that would tolerate an old joke and laueh at a thin one. Haverly's com pany does not turn out the immense force that used to cover the stage, but this is a step towards improving quality at the expense of quantity—if the manager sees in that way. The first part was pleasant music and a pretty fair display of fun by the Hennesseys, Young and Sadler. The burlesque wedding of the fair Araminta was enjoyed and ended with the very incon gruous, Happy New Year.

The only Roselle, delineator of feminine fashion, has a very pleasing and natural contralto voice, beautiful costumes and is a good actor. Dan Ripley is the most interesting member of the troupe and performed well on a number of instruments. As in the last season, the company is short in dancing. The so-called wonderful and original mid-air, suspended balancing doubble swinging clog, etc., eta, is a much smaller affair than ite_ name. The Hennessey Brothers furnish the best part of the fun, and Charley Young does quite well in the Thatcher and Wilson business. The closing farce of "De Lilly's Duel," was amusing, but brief and slight.

Adah Bichmond.

On Tuesday night the well known comedy company, beaded by the name of this comedienne, will be at the

opera house, 'ltie New York Herald says: The Actah Richmond comedy company appeared at the Windsor Theatre last evening in M. Lafitte Johnson's drama "Carrots." Miss Adah Richmond as Carrots, the Wild Flower, gave a lively and brisk performance and sang a number of Bongs which greatly pleased the audience, and Mr. R. E. Graham's acting and singing as Tony, the German, were well appreciated.

Marie Anna*'

Theater-goers will gladly welcome this evening, at the Opera house, the Countess of Kaselowska, who is to appear as Marie Anna in the play of that name. Frauleii* Kaselowska is from the Stadt theater, New York, and will be remembered with pleasure by those who saw her at the Germunia theater at Indianapolis this summer. She is an actress of rare ability, and possesses a wonderful charm of manner on the stage. She will be assisted by Mr. A.Kreiger and Mr. Jacob Sheinmehl, of this city.

Notes.

The Jesse James troupe Thursday. Tony Denier's world renowned Humpty Dumpty on Friday evening.

FRANK TROMBLEY.

He Is Coming Home, and His "Friends" Are Fleeing With Terror. Frank Trombley, a "tough" who was sent to the penitentiary from this city several years ago, will be released to-day. Trombley was convicted for the attempted murder of one Osborn. The affair occurred in a "knock-down and dragout," and in the melee Trombley cut the throat of Osborn. Osborn was a badly injured man, but he managed to get well. Trombley was the husband of the notorious Cora Lee, the proprietress of "Number Ninety," a house of ill-fame on Second street. After Trombley was convicted Cora secured a divorce and married another man. As the time for Trombley's releasedrew near, Cora and her husband got scared, sold out, and it is said have left town. Cora knows the nature of Trombley too well, and she thinks that it is safer to keep a good stretch of territory between them.

Persons who studiea years without success, will certainly be able to understand and speak after a very short time. Madame Bachimont will beat the Commercial College Hall every day between 11 and 12 o'clock or at 203 South Fifth street.

To cure tliese diseases the blood most be purified, and restored to a healthy and natural condition. AYEB'S SARSAPARILLA has for over forty years been recognized by eminent medical authorities as the most powerful blood purifier in existence. It frees the system from all foul humors, enriches and strengthens the blood, removes all traces of mercurial treatment, and proves itself a complete master of all scrofulous diseases.

Recent Core of Scrofulous Sores. "Some months ago I was troubled with sorofulous sores (ulcers) on my legs. The limbs were badly swollen and inflamed, and tlia sores discharged large quantities of offensive matter. Every remedy 1 tried failed, until I used Avr.K'8 SAHSAI-ARILLA, of which I have now taken three bottles, with the result that the sores are healed, and my general health greatly improved. I feel very grateful for the good your medicine has done me.

Yours respectfully, MRS.AXN O'linrA.v." 148 Sullivan St., New York, June 24,18-32. jy* All persons interested are invited to callon Mrs. O'JJrian algo upon the Rev. Z. P.

Having suffered severely for some years with Eczema, and having failed to find relief from other remedies. I have made use, during the past three months, of AVER'S SARSAPARILLA, which lias enectcd a complete cure. I consider it a magnificent remedy for all blood diseases."
