ICailroatl Notes.

The Pennsylvania company is adopting a new style of whistle for its passenger engines as a distinguishing mark from freight engines. All passenger engines are to be equipped with what is known as the steamboat whistle, its tone being pleasant not shrill.

Since the purchase of the Vandalia by the Pennsylvania Company, the freight business through Greenfield has been more than doubled. Under the old system, freight coming in on the Vandalia for the East wa3 divided between several roads now the Pennsylvania gets it all. We have more freight trains than formerly and they are now generally run in from two to four sections. The Pennsylvania is the most complete system and the best managed of auy railroad in the world.

THE Democratic Steering Committee of the U. S. Senate have decided not to take up any of the popgun tariff bills. The chairman of said caucus has posted a notice to all Democrats as follows: "Don't monkey with the tariff Buzz Saw.

AN enterprising southern man once conceived the idea that cotton could be picked by trained monkeys, and that one man could boss seven monkeys. Upon a test it was learned that it would require seven men to successfully operate one monkey and the plan was abandoned.

The job Secretary Carlisle is fixing up for Uncle Sam to watch forty-four State banks with no other power than to tax them renders the monkey enterprise tame and easy by comparison.—Crawfordsvil'e Journal.

THE plans of currency x-eform—the Baltimore and the one proposed by Carlisle—do not differ much. Of the Baltimore plan the champion of the industrial and business interests of the country, Gen. James B. Weaver, says: "The Baltimore currency is a bold, bare faced proposition to apply the methods of the stock exchange, trust and board of trade combined, to the entire business of the country: to authorize the money sharks alternately to bull and bear all markets and gather to themselves all the profits of industry. It is an attempt to transfer as a gratuity to speculators the highest attribute of sovereignty: that of issuing the currency of a great nation and controlling its volume. A congress which has its walking papers is just the kind of a body the money^power delights to toy with."

Church Notes.

The Anderson Christian congregation is going to build a $80,000 church next spring.

The Christian Sunday school are practicing every night on the Xuias exercises, A cantata, "Santa Claus on Time," will be presented by the pupils. It is full of jingling music and recitations.

The Ladies Mite Society of the Chris tian church will meet at the church Wednesday afternoon at 2:80. This is a public meeting and as business of importance will be discussed, all are urged to be in attendance. 19t2

Elder B. F. Dailey preached an able sermon Sunday night to a large audience. His subject, "If any man thirst," was handled in a masterly way, showing that he had given the subject much thought and study.

The C. E. Society of the Christian church at Franklin have purchased a library and have their reading room open on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Greenfield is sadly in need of a public library and rending room.

Rev. Dailey, who has been conducting revival services at the Christian church for several weeks, returned this morning to his home in Greenfield. His work in the pulpit during his stay in our city has been productive of much good. With the assistance of Elder Conner, several additions have been made to the membership and a number have already been baptized. The services last night were the last that will be held this week, but the meetings proper will not close until Sunday.—Noblesville Ledger.

,, The Ministerial Association

The Ministerial Association met this morning with Dr. Stabler at the M. E. church. The principal subject discussed was "The Religious and Moral Outlook in Greenfield." Rev. Stabler opened up the subject but as the hour was exhausted the subject was continued until the next meeting, when the "Remedy" will be discussed by Mrs. Jessup. Those present were Thos. Stabler, M. E. church E. W. Sowders, Presbyterian Mrs. Hannah P. Jessup, Friends and B. F. Dailey of the Christian church and Revs. Wm. Anderson and George Tague. These meetings will no doubt be conducive of much good as the ministers all working harmoniously together will be a great power in the community.

AFFAIRS IN TURKEY

True Statements Coming From a Reliable Source.

THE HALF HAS NOT BEEN TOLD.

Xt May He That Ten Thousand People Have Been Slain--An Investigation Demanded by the American Lioard of Commissioners of Foreign Missions A lteport That

Further Outrages Have Taken Place.

BOSTON, Dec. 17.—The American board of commissioners for foreign missions, more than any other missionary organization in America, centralizes its work in behalf of Armenians in Asiatic Turkey. Its western Turkey mission began iu 1819, its eastern Turkey mission in 1836, and its central Turkey mission in 1847.'

SULTAN ABDUL HAMID,

These three missions comprise 15 stations, 268 out stations, 45 missionaries, one medical missionary in eastern Turkey, 42 married women and 73 unmarried women—in fact, it employs 791 natiYe laborers. These laborers occupy 299 places for stated preaching, secures average congregations of 30,747 persons. The Sabbath schools number 26,4(54. The adherents are estimated at 46,8(54. There are 112 churches, with a membership of 11,481. of whom 498 are received within a year.

The educational work is expensive. There are four theological schools, 29 theological students, 31 colleges, high and boarding schools for boys, containing 1,343 pupils 20 colleges,jj high and boarding schools for girls, containing 1,121 pupils. There are 372 common schools, containing 1(5,So:} pupils. There are 1,561 others un-lur instructions. The grand total of persons under instructions consist of 1\88 5 persons. The contributions of the natives last year to the American board amounted to ^34,

These facts do not include the work in European Turkey. Numerous inquiries have been received Irom the press and from the congregational constituency iu the United States, which has induced their conservative organization to iurnish tho following statement relating to "Affairs in Turkey.'' "We are not unconcerned about the reports of the massacre in eastern Turkey. The position of 177 missionaries of the American board within the Turkish empire is an extremely delicate one. Sympathizing deeply on the one side with all who are suffering by reason of poverty, oppression and misrule, they have yet been loyal to th£ government under which they have lived, and have never countenanced sedition or rebellion. "It has been their blessed privilege while preaching tho gospel of Jesus Christ to aid the poor, to protect, as far as possible, the oppressed, and to deliver from unjust officials multitudes who have been arrested or imprisoned. It is not necessary for our missionaries, after these scores of years of devoted labor fqjjrt&te native races of Turkey, to prove rait' sympathy with the suffering aiHP»Sppressed by joiniug others who, at a safe distance from the scene of danger, are passing vigorous resolutions in condemnation of the wrongs inflicted. They are doing their best, amid no little peril to themselves, in the interests of those for whom they have long labored, but our readers can well understand that for the sake, both of the helpers and of the helped, it is inexpedient for us to present a full statement of all that we hear and believe. "Some things we may properly say prior to the full investigation of the alleged atrocities, which we trust wiil be made by the representatives of both our government and of the European powers. In the Sassoun region, south of Moush plain, there are, or recently were, many villages inhabited by Armenians. These people were systematically robbed of their flocks by Kurds and in the latter part of the summer the Armenians pursued the robbers in their endeavor to recover their property. In the fight which ensued a dozen of these I Kurds were killed, among whom were some who were enrolled as Turkish soldiers. "When information was given that the Armenians had killed some of the sultan's troops the charge of rebellion was made, and orders were sent to put down the insurrection. The result was that these lawless and uncontrolled soldiers made indiscriminate slaughter of the people who had sought to defend their property. In the horrible massacres which followed thousands were slain some state 6,000 others 10,000.

The details of this wretched affair are uot obtainable, even by those ueai the scene. They will never be obtained unless foreign governments insist iipon ft thorough investigation conducted by foreigners. The poor people are in terror, and dare not state tho truth unless under protection. "A document has been prepared near the scene of tho carnage, purporting to give the judgment of the people that the thousands slain in Talvaree met their just deserts and expressing regret that it had been thought best to send consuls to investigate since there had been no need for their coming. The value of such a document will be understood when the methods for securing signatures are known. But such investigations should bo made most vigorously either to relieve tho government from unjust charges if the statements ire incorrect or if thoy should be proven Jrue to bring about the condign punItfkment of the guilty parties. "Though our missionaries in eastern* Turkey are often upon Moush plain,

where there ore many out-stations in which the evangelical work is conducted by them, yet their work has not extended into this Sassoun district, and hence they liavo had no direct reports from the scene of the massacre. Papers from Constantinople, printed entirely under control of the Turkish censors of the press, announces that the sultan has sent one of his imperial guards to the city of Erzingan, in eastern Turkey, to carry a decoration to Zekki Pasha, the commander of the Fourth army corps, which is located there. Sekki Pasha is the military commander who led the troops against the defenseless villages in the Sassoun region at the time of the massacre. "Another envoy carries four banners from she sultan to the four leading Kurdish chiefs, who were associated with tho military commander in the reported massacre, and who probably were the instigators of it. After the sultan has thus approved of tho action of his troops and of the Kurds, it will be impossible for any commission appointed by the Turkish government to investigate the outrage and bring any report that reflects on either the Kurds or the army. By this act the sultan seems to assume all the responsibility of what has been done. "These stories of wrong and oppression have aroused the civilized world. We are glad to learn that our government has directed one of its consuls to make an independent investigation of all matters connected wirli the reported massacre. But our government does uot stand in the same relation to Turkey as do the European powers, that, under the treaty of Berlin, secured the right of seeing that good government was maintained throughout the Turkish empire. The rights thus guaranteed ought now to be exercised, and the first step should be a most thorough investigation as to the condition of affairs throughout Armenia. We can not doubt that the European powers wili attend to their duty. The winter is not a favorable time for visiting eastern Turkey, where the snow is often from eight to 12 feet deep. Time and patience will be required."

Erzingan, which is referred to in the preceding statement, is a city 96 miles southwest of Erzroom, situated on tho Euphrates in the midst of the mountains. It is noted for the energy of its people, both Turks and Armenians.

ALMOST BEYOND BELIEF.

further Outrages Perpetrated Upon the l*oor Armenians.

TIFLIS, Russian Transcaucasia, Dec. 17.—A letter which appears in a paper here states that for 19 days the residents of Armenian villages, where the outrages were perpetrated, fought against the Kurds. The Armenians lost only 10 warriors while the Kurds lost 569. When the regular troops under Zekki Pasha appeared the Armenians were compelled to succumb.

Alter Zekki Pasha's treachery in offering peace, 60 young Armenian men were seized and tortured horribly for three days. Then all were murdered and their bodies buried in a ditch. Among the Armenian heroes wlio lost their lives, the writer mentions Derbedros, who, with his own hand, killed seven Kurds in fair fight. He was captured and flayed to the waist. Pieces of his flesh were cut off, broiled and eaten by the savage Turks while he was still alive.

THE BLOW WAS FATAL.

AnTly Uowen Dies After His fight With CSeorge Lavigne.

NEWMKOKLKANS, Dec. 17.—Andy Bowen, the New Orleans lad, who fought 18 rounds Friday, night with George Lavigne, in the arena of the Auditorium club, died Saturday morning a little after 7 o'clock.

Lavigne and his seconds and timekeeper, consisting of Pugilist Jim Hall, Sam FitzpaU'ick, Martin Murphy and George Comiadine, and also Referee Professor Joto Duffy, were placed under arrest.

Lavigne was admitted to bail in the sum of $10,000, the others #5,000. Duffy, the referee, and Spitzfaden were the only ones to furnish bond. "Kid" Lavigne, Billy McCarthy, Sam Fitzpatrick, Jim Hall, Martin Murphy and George C'onsadine, were sent to jail but afterward released.

Lavigne is detained by the police. As soon as he can get away he will go home and rest for three months. He will not retire from the ring but will then try for a match with Johnson of Minneapolis.

The grand jury will begin an investigation and fix the biame lor the death. Governor Foster was seen yesterday evening and asked for an expression of his opinion of the so-called glove contests in the light of the tragic outcome of the Lavigne-Bowen fight. The governor expressed himself as firmly opposed to such exhibitions. He said: "I have always been very positive and emphatic in my opposition to the glove contests as carried on iu New Orleans by professional prize fighters. I regard it as a brutal exhibition, tending to demoralize public sentiment and in no wise calculated to elevate the toue of public morals in the community. "When the effort was made to have the Corbett-Mitchell fight take place iu New Orleans I determined to exhaust all the power of the state to prevent it, and so declared at the time. Subsequently to this the right of athletic clubs to have such exhibitions was taken into court and is still pending. I urged in my message to the legislature the passing of a la»v declaring glovo contests of this kind a criminal offense, and several bills were introduced to that end, but for some reason no bill was passed. "The unfortunate termination of the Lavigne-Bowen contest accentuates the importance of prohibiting any such further exhibitions. A sound, healthy public sentiment has outlawed tho exhibitions in almost every state in tho Union, and I believe the great body of tho people of this state unquestionably oppose to make Louisiana, and especially New Orleans, the scene of such brutal contests."
