E. church, Denver, Col.—has recently visited his friends in this city. He is comparatively a young man, but lias achieved great success. He is a second Bishop Joyce in the matter of building churches. It is not many years ago that he. fresli from College, began the construction of Locust street Church iu this city
with interest in Greencantle. Not only is he a graduate of DePauw University and an ex pastor of a Greencastle church, hut lie mairied a Greecastle young lady—the daughter of VVm. Stevenson, a merchant who has since removed to Rockville.

circuit court for a foreclosure of the mortgage and a sale of the plant. The present owners are non-residents —most of them living in Vincennes. The plant lias not been successful financially, the owners not having made enough to pay expenses and the iuler-
inga congregation, and the time when he preached in the old West College chapel—long dince burned and superceded, save in a wealth of traditions by the present West College building— js still in the memory of most of our citizens. He was a successful an popular pastor in Greencastle as lie afterward became elsewhere. In Denve r his energy, influence and ability led to the constuction of the magnificent Trinity building, which is a decided attraction in Uiat city of ma-velous natural and wonderful architectural attractions, This, too, with another large and wealthy Methodist congregation in the “Mountain City” at the time—Evans’.chapel, named after Gov-
ernor Evans.
And now Dr. HuchteJ is coming back to Indiana, again, to live and labor— if the Bishop be willing, and he
tion has created some surprise. The explanation offered for it by the councilmen, was that both bids failed to come up to the specifications, there being some slight informalities in each. The action of the council meets witti considerable criticism. One prominent

signified bis willingness. What is implied, although not expressed, in this cail is that Dr. Buchtel is to build another church, for Central Avenue’s present edifice is of wooden frame, and although much the best Methodist building in Northern, and consequently fashionable, Indianapolis, is yet very inferior to several handsome new brick I and stone edifices that the Bresbyterian faith has erected in this rapidly growing section of our State capital. What the Methodists very much need is a big church in that section of the city. The Central Avenue board realizes this fact, and has set about to fill the want. It has made a most wise selection in choosing Dr.Buchtel as the chief instrument for carrying on this work. The congregation is already fairly strong, numbering among its members several men of prominence in the capital citv and State. Elijah W. Halford, the Bresident’s private secretary, belongs to Central Avenue. The present membership, however, is not sufficient to undertake the erection of a great church; but the field about it is most promising, and we predict Dr. Buchtel will, in a couple of years, have a great church building standing on the present site of Central Avenue. The two principal Methodist churches in Indianapolis at present are Meridian street and Roberts Bark—the latter the most powerful in membership, the former in wealth. But they both are located, near together, in the business center of the city, whose erowth has gradually carried the residences away from them. Ttie majority of the present membership of these two churches now live at a distance, and they are likely, in a great many instances, to withdraw to new churches that are established in their own vicinity. • On this account Central Avenue’s plans are likely to be successful, and Dr. Buchtel will build another big
church.

It Decides to H»)cott Ntudrbakers— Also Dlukcft Contracts to Pal* rontzi* Certain Store*. The Putnam county branch of the Farmers’ Alliance—F. M. B. A. as it is commonly known—held a long session Tuesday at the court house. The meeting began at 11 a. m. and lasted until about 6 o’clock. The meeting was secret, and only a portion of ttie proceedings could be ascertained. The Alliance made contracts to trade with W. G. Burnett's shoe store and Marker’s grist mill—that is to say, all members of the Alliance are requested to patronize these places. Mr. Burnett agrees to sell at 10 per cent, profit above cost and transportation. This action of the Alliance was not taken until after much discussion—many oppesing the idea of patronizing certain stores exclusively. The most sensational action taken was a decision to boycott the famous Studebaker Wagon Works at South Bend. This was done because the Studebakers, when the Alliance corresponded with them regarding contracts, referred it to their agents in this city, and would not heed its request to make a direct contract with the Alliance. The latter therefore voted not to buy any of Mr. Studebaker’s wagons and some of the members declare they will make tl'e boycott extend—not merely over the State, but over the United States. The oflicial account of Tuesday’s meeting as sent by the secretary to the newspapers is as follows: Gkeemcastle,Ind., Aug. 12. The County Assembly of the F. M. A. met here to-day. About forty lodges were represented with a membership ot over nine hundred in the county. Contracts were made with millers and store keepers. Polities were not mentioned. The Assembly resolved not to patronize ttie Studebaker Wagon Co. L. T. Uioutsell. I ■K-lalim-d Letter., Remaining iu the Greencastle postoffice, Aug. 13, 189C. John Brent, J. V. Hill, W S.

Tuesday afternoon’s session was devoted to a discussion of the Science of Education by Prof. Parsons; a paper, “The Value of Psychology to Teachers,” by R. B.

Yesterday morning the time was occupied by a talk on Mental Science by Prof. Parsons; a paper, “The People in Relation to the Schools.”by II. N.

Tlie Republican congressional convention of tlie Twentieth district, in session at Cleveland, O., adjourned until next Wednesday, after casting 256 ballots without result.

Seizures of original package liquor were made in Iowa immediately on the signing by tlie president of the new law. Attorneys for the saloon men claim they are illegal, as tlie Iowa law against such importations was set aside by the supreme court decision, and that the new National law does not operate to restore the annulled state law. The city solicitor of Cincinnati, in answering tlie petition of the Cincinnati Gas Light and Coke company in a suit for *25,054.66 for gas furnished for public lamps, charge!* the company with fraud in its estimates, and figures out that on this account the city has overpaid the compony *864,800,'and for this amount he asks judgement for the city.

From the experience of two electric light linemen who recently received shocks, one of eleven hundred and the other of two thousand volts, each more than the murderer Ketnmler received, it is certain that Kemmler must hare sufi'ered excruciating tort ure while sensibility lasted.
