THE VIGO PROHIBITIONISTS.

Till! County Convention Held Here Yesterday—Candidates Tor County OIIIcrh. From Sunday's Edition.

The Prohibitionists of the county met in the Circuit court room yesterday afternoon for the purpose of putting a ticket in the field for the county offices. There were about forty present among them being quite a number of ladies who were interested in the cause. The meeting was called to order at 1:'50 by Mr. J. E. Woodruff and was organized by the selection of Mr. B. Holmes as chairman. W. C. Rhoades, the permanent secretary, was not present and J. II. Daily was selected to act in his abecence. The chairman of the meeting stated the purpose for which they had assembled, and the principles of the Prohibition party. He then introduced Mr. T. E. Ballard, of Crawfordsville, who made the race two years ago for congress on the Prohibition ticket. Mr. Ballard spoke at length, and did not conclude until after li o'clock. He arraigned both the Democratic and Republican parties. He, spoke very rapidly, and with the very bad echo of the court room, it was difficult for one to hear all that was said. After the address, the selection of a county ticket was proceeded with. It resulted as follows:

Treasurer—Noah Evinger. ot Sugar Creek. Sheriff— L. O. Sheets, of Riley. State Senator—J. E. Woodruff, of Riley. Representatives—C. T. Cook, of Lost Creek Rudolph Davis, of Otter Creek.

Commissioner First District—Win. Robinson, of Fayette, Commissioner Second District—Ba/.II Holmes, ol city.

Commissioner Third District—W. P. Senior, of Plerson. Coroner—Charles W. Russell, of Riley.

Surveyor—Alexander Cooper, of Lost Creek.

After the candidates were named speeches were called for, and quite a number responded. Another meeting will be called for the near future, for the purpose of securing a better and closer organization.

MRS. RKEII WANTS DAMAGES.

She Killers Suit. Against the Kxprcss for Libel, Asking $5,000. From Sunday's Edition.

Mrs. Susan M. Reed has commenced suit in the Circuit court against the Express for libel, the damages being placed at §5,000. The suit is filed by an Indianapolis attorney, who is not known here. The publication which is alleged to have been libelous appeared 11 few months ago, and at this late day suit is brought. The article told the story of Mrs. Reed having thrown some kind of liquid into the face of Mrs. Barney McClung, of the family living in Mrs Meed's house, at the corner of Eighth and Ohio streets. It was stated in the article that Mrs. Reed had appeared in

number of roles and had obtained newspaper notoriety. This is one of the paragraphs from the complaint. Another that from several sentences it could be inferred that she had a violent temper. The complaint sets forth that the article appeared in big headlines, big "types" being used, and was a half "colurn" long 119 the Indianapolis attorney chose to spell the words. The modest demand is made for 8-"),000 and the defendant is summoned to appear on the '27th of the present month.

MUST LOOK TO INDIANA.

Kx-Conjjressniiin Adams Says Cleveland is Iteatcu in New YorU. From Sunday's Edition.

Ex-Congressman John J. Adams, of New Vork, a Democratic political worker, had a long talk here to-day, says a New Vork dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer, with John E. Lamb, J. II. Rice, S. P. Sheerin and other Indiana politicians on the outlook and Adams spoke out with a vehemence, saying: "I want to say to you if Indiana does not save Cleveland's election I do not thing New Vork will."

Rather dazed, Lamb said: "Why, Jack,you have not changed your mind touching your taritT vote?"

To this Adams did not make direct rejoinder. He did say, though: "No, I have not changed my mind." "It is not a question of the tarilV. My observation is that the load the Democratic party is now carrying is (Jrover Cleveland." The man has no personal popularity. Four years ago one could walk through the corridors of this hotel and hear Republicans openly declare an intention to vote for Grover Cleveland. Now the conditions are reversed. I hear Democrats every day say they will vote for Harrison. This does not come of the issues

atVectiDg

the tariff' at all, but

rather of a desire to teach the president that the Democratic party is a good deal bigger than he is."

Mr. Lamb then discursively threw balm on the troubled waters with the prediction that Indiana would remain true to its Democratic interests. "And why?" interposed a third party. "Because," said Lamb, "of the personal unpopularity of Harrison. He does not give to his party strength in our state, and, as a fact, is not as strong as his party."

I then asked as a feebr if the placing of a Greenback ticket in the tield would not affect, to a greater or less extent, the national Democratic ticket. "I think not," added Mr. Rice, "the (!reenbackers of Indiana have decided not to place a state ticUet in the tield." "But," I ventured, "Mr. George Jones, the new head and front of the Greenback organization has called a convention of his party in September. Moreover." I further added, "he told me in Washington city four weeks ago that his object was more especially in placing a National Greenback presidential candidate before the people had for a resultant view the holding together of the or ganization in the state of Indiana."

This acted somewhat as a revelation

-,'

T-'S^

upon the Indiana managers, and necessitated a second advance upon the cocktail department of the hotel, to somewhat further deplete Mr. Cleveland's magnificent token to the committee, which now vauntingly declares "by this sign we conquer."

Even under the beguilement of the cup, Mr. Adams could not cheer up. "I tell you," he said, "Grover Cleveland is beaten. In my opinion, the Republicans will carry the state of New York by .'50,000 majority. In New York city I do not think the Democratic majority will exceed 30,000. Wait and see. You will find that the registered vote will be about 250,000. The actual vote cast will be about 235,000. Blaine received 95,000 votes in this city. I think Harrison will get 105,000,

that the Democratic ma

jority will run out 30,000. This will be easily wiped out by the Republican majorities which will cotne to the Harlem bridge, and a like majority for the Republicans will be added to it."

WAGES AND THK TARIFF.

How Women and Children are Forced to Work in Great Britain.

The following is from the New York Tribune: The wide difference between the proportion of women and children employed in this country and in Great Britain renders any comparison of wages only, without allowance for the number of workers of each kind employed, apt to be most deceiving. But the British parliamentary papers state from time to time the number of workers of each sex and age employed in establishments under the factories act, and the report for 1885 gives the number in the textile industries as follows:

Males over 18 Males 13 to 18 Females over Ki Pnder 18, boys Under 18. girls

132,269 40,205 281.COS

52,000 12,462 69.622 2.918 2.316

67,378 71.931-

13,110 29.8S5

276,866 409,514

Prom parliamentary papers it appears that in the three industries above mentioned 282 out of 1,000 workers were males above 18 years of age, 552 out of every 1,000 ware women above 13 years of age, 121 were boys and 41 were girls. In the same* industries, according to the last census, the proportion in this country was of men 400 in 1,000, of womtn 451, and of boys and girls 147 in 1,000 The British official papers show also, that the proportion of wcJmen and children employed has been steadily increasing since 1871 the number of men employed had increased 20,000, but the number of women had increased 40,000, in the cotton and woollen industries alone. Returns for the same year in other industries are not at hand, but using the latest accessible for each branch, the number reported in twelve of the sixteen industries compared contrasts with the United States census returns for the same industries thus:

Thus it appears that the tables given in the census volume state the wages of more than 1,200,000 workers in only twelve of the sixteen industries iccluded for Great Britain, while the census shows in the same twelve industries the wages of about 800,000 workers in this country. So large a body of information regarding wages has nowhere else been presented. In these twelve industries, those hitherto compared, excepting gas and car manufacture and iron and coal mining, the number of classes and the average of wages given in the census reports compare as follows:

The wages for 1,000 workers, divided as they actually were divided at the date of the'latest otlicial information accessible, and paid as they actually were paid according to the census volume on wages, averaged in the United States 610.01weekly, and in Great Britain £4.50 weekly, so that the actual compensation of* the workers employed was 118.2 per cent, higher in this country than in Great Britain. These averages correspond closely with those of the classes for all the industi ies compared, so that the true difference in the actual compensation of workers in these mechanical and manufacturing industries, employing 1,200,000 people in Great Braitain and eight years ago about 800,000 in this country, cannot vary widely from the result thus obtained.

Going to He a Nun.

Boston, September S.—Miss Grace M. Hanley, daughter of Colonel Hanley, is soon to enter the convent of the Order of Jesus and Mary at Quebec, as a nun. Miss Hanley is about 18 years old.,and Mas recently graduated from the 60hool of the same convent with the highest honors, receiving the Lansdowne medal at the hands of the governor general of Canada. Miss Hanley is well known, from her remarkable cure on August 18, at the Mission Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, in Roxbury- She had been for years a cripple, and was taken to the church in a carriage, but was able to walk home unassisted. Her cure attracted widespread attention. She is now leaving a home, where she has been surrounded by every luxury, and will devote the rest of her life to the church.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1883.

FARMERS MUST PAY.

The Old Wabash Erie Canal Claims Again Troublesome. From Sunday's Edlllon.

The old Wabash & Erie canal, which has a history in the court records of the state as a monstrous fraud, says the Indianapolis News, again comes to notice as an unabatable nuisance and a source of exasperating annoyance to people who own property along its course. The ad vantages afforded by the canal in the days of limited means of transportation have been enormously expensive to the people of the state, pecuniarily and otherwise. After prolonged and complicated litigation the use of the canal was abandoned many years ago, and it has since become simply a miasmatic channel, spreading disease along its course from Fort Wayne down to Evansville, and yet, by the sufferance or neglect of the state board of health, it is tolerated without a murmnr.

When the sale of the canal bed, with a path of fifty feet on each side, was ordered by Judge Drummond, on the suit of Jonathan K. Gapen, it was held by the court that the purchasers acquired a fee simple, although in the opinions given by the Supreme court judges it was maintained byJudge Biddle that there had been no fee simple given, but simply an easment. The canal was purchased for a nominal sum by a few speculators. For atime after its abandonment in 1875 the privilege of using it as a water supply to mills and for the ice that it yielded in winter was the only revenue that it afforded, but as its condition grew worse the tolls were not sufficient to properly maintain it, and it rapidly fell into that deplorable state that it is now-a-days described as innocuous desuetude. For two or three years it has been of no proctical benefit, but has really become a great nuisance, and now .the farmers who own land along its course are given special cause for complaint by the receipt of letters reading something like the following.

Dkak Sih—The Wabash & Erie canal, as you are aware, runs through your farm. On behalf of the owners, I beg leave to say that some arrangements regarding its further use inust be entered Into, for the following reasons: We do not desire the statute of limitations to run against us, and If you will pay a nominal sum for a lease, simply to reeognlze our ownership of It, we will send you the necessary papery for that purpose. Otherwise we shall be compelled to ask you to remove the fences'lncloslng the same and throw It out. Very respectfully.

These letters boar the name of a man named Smith, who is acting as an attorney for the owners of the canal. It is claimed that it is the intention to use the canal land as the right of way for a railroad parallel with the Wabash line, but it is generally believed that as a matter of fact it is being held as a speculation, and it is necessary to retain the ownership, that it should be put to some use, in which the legal rights to the control of it are recognized, before the expiration of twenty years. The amounts that are asked for leases vary from SI to $25, according to the willingness of the farmers to pay rather than to be caused annoyance and expense by having their farms thrown open by the removal of fences. The notices that have been sent out have aroused tpuch feeling among the farmers, and 6ome of them have sought legal advice with a view to resisting the demands upon them. It is only along the course of the canal, from Terre Haute to Fort Wayne, that the lease propositions are being made, as below Terre Haute the land is now owned and used by the Evansville & Indianapolis Railway company as a right of way for their line.

"LEATHER AI'KOIN" AGAIN.

He Adds Another to His List of Horribly Itrutul Murders. From Sunday's Edition.

London, September 8.—The horrioly mutilated body of a lewd woman was found early this morning in the yard attached to a common lodging houso in Spitalfields. The throat was cut from ear to ear, the body was ripped open, the bowels and heart were lying on the ground, and a portion of the entrails tied around the neck. This is the fourth murder of a similar character that has been committed recently in this neighborhood. All the victims were women of the lowest character. The author of the atrocities remains undiscovered, and the excitoment in the immediate vicinity borders upon panic.

Destruction in the fishing Fleet. From Sunday's Edition.

Glol-ckstkr, Mass., September 8.— Captain Ryan, of the steamer A. D. Story, which arrived from Iceland last night, reports great destruction among the French fishing Meet, during April, on the south coast of Iceland. As this is the codfishing ground for the French, the whole French fleet was concentrated in this locality, when a terrible storm came up, which engulfed six vessels and their crews. One other vessel lost her captain and three men. As near as "could be ascertained, the number lost was i:?7. Many of the vessels were so badly damaged they had to be abandoned. Three hundred men were left in destitute condition in Iceland until a steamer carried them away. Theyjondured many hardships while there, the supply of food being limited. The American vessels have done fairly and suffered no serious mishaps. The winter at Iceland was finer than usual and there was no destitution among the natives. Fishing on the Labrador coast had been very poor.

Killed His Father. From Sunday's Edition.

Ashland, Ky., September 8.—William Howell, 17 years old, shot and killed his father, John Howell yesterday. John Howell served a term of years in the penitentiary and returned home last August. Sinc« then he has frequently beaten his wife and daughters. Last night he drove his entire family from home and threatened their lives. Yesterday morning his son procured a war

rant for his arrest for abusing his family, and to require him to give bond to keep the peace. After the trial Howell returned home Bwearing vengeance on son, who met him at the door and shot him.

B. OF L. F. DELEGATHS.

Arrivnl of a Delegation From the North' west Kn Route to Atlanta. From Sunday's Edition.

It was nearly 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon when a special train bearing over 200 delegates to the biennial meeting of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen at Atlanta, arrived from the north over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. The train was expected somewhat earlier. It was handsomely decorated and was one of the prettiest ever seen here. The delegates were met by the local lodge and the executive officers of the Brotherhood, accompanied by the Ringgold band. A procession was formed and the Second Regiment band, of Chicago, with the Ringgolds, escorted them down to the B. of L. F. offices on Main near Seventh, the front of which was one mass of national colors, Hags and bunting. A short reception was held and the two bands escorted the delegation back to the Union depot, where dinner was served in Ohmer's hotel. It was the intention to have a number of afterdinner talks, but the delegates were hungry and tired and there was no time to spare, so the speaking was dispensed with. The delegates were delighted with their reception, the train left about. 1 o'clock over the E. &, T. H., having taken on board the officers of the grand lodge and numerous delegates from this vicinity. The Second regiment band could not accompany the delegation to Atlanta and returned to Chicago last night.

Miners Meeting: at JTontanet. From Sunday's Edition.

On Friday night the miners of Fontanet and vicinity were addressed by several men who are prominent among them, being known throughout the entire country. They were returning from the convention at Indianapolis, and stopped off at Brazil. In the afternoon they spoke to the miners of Clay county, and at night were at Fontanet. Fully 1,000 gathered to hear the Hon. Daniel McLaughlin, president of the Illinois State Miners' Federation, and Mr. T. H. Donley, secretary and treasurer of the same association. It was one of the largest meet, ings ever held in Fontanet. Mr. McLaughlin discussed the tariff in a very strong speech, and one which, no doubt, wiil have great weight. He argued for protection, and showed conclusively that a reduction of the tariff, as proposed by the Democrats, meant the reduction of the wages of the miners. He advocated very strongly that Harrison should be supported on the protection platform. Mr. Donley's speech was also mainly devoted to the tariff, and was an admirable effort.
