Evansville, Aug. 6. —To-night the factory of the Evansville Furniture Company was destroyed by fire. The origin is not known, but supposed to have been spontaneous combustion, as the blaze was first seen in the fourth floor, where the furniture was varnished. Owing to an unsulficient supply of water, the city works being next to worthless, the fire gained rapidly and destroyed the factory. A large brick warehouse was saved, also the piles of seasoning lumber. The company wrds organized ill 1870, when a number of dissatisfied workmen of a neighboring factory concluded to start one of their own. The company at first worked upon the co-operative basis, but was later made a joint stock company. They had invested about $150,000, of which amount SGG,OOO was in the building destroyed. The insurance aggregates about $15,000. They carried up to Friday last $15,000 more, which ran out and they refused to renew as the agents declined to receive their risk for a less rate than one-half per cent additional. They were to be written up to-day in other companies which would accept the risk at the old rate. There were between sixty and seventy-five men employed in the factory. Three firemen was injured in tue work of putting out the fire, but not seriously. Preparation* for the Execution of Stout, the Murderer of Dunbar. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Rockville, Aug. G.—The execution of Joseph W. Stout, for the murder of Taylor Dunbar, at Darlington, Montgomery county, on Nov. 24. 1882, will occur hereon Wednesday. The inclosure where the hanging takes place is in the jailyard, east of the engine-house. It is 32 by 40 feet, and the walls twenty-five feet high. The prisoner, from the cell window, can see the men at work on it, and heat the sound of each nail as it is driven. The scaffold has been completed over a week. The trap works with a lever, and the drop is six and a half feet. Stout, until recently, has shown great indifference to his fate. He is more lenient, and has had a minister to talk with him. The. scriv>tures were read and expounded. He paid the greatest of reverence and attention, and is willing to believe the doctrines taught by the Bible. He seems earnest about his spiritual welfare. The McCune Cadets will perform the guard duty. Thirty reliable men have been detailed, and Captain Clint Murphy will be in command. They will report at the jail at 8 o’clock a. >!., and strict order be issued. The guards will be fully armed and equipped, and their beat will be within the jail-yard fence. Jt is predicted that there wiil be fully thousand people here, all weighed down with curiosity. A special train from Darlington will be run for the Montgomery county people. Many will come, but not more than one hundred will see the execution. Many resident citizens will leave town. They cannot bear the gloom of the gallows, and will go to the country. It is a fact that out of the twenty murders perpetrated in this countv, none of the murderers have ever been executed. There has only been one execution, prior to Stout’s, and that was a man from Vigo county. Man Killed by a Train. Special to the I ii<lianapol\n Journal. Newcastle, Aug. o.—The night express, wesi-bound, on the C\, St. L. Si I\ railroad, due here at 11:29 p. m.. struck a man sitting on the end of a cross-tie at Millville, six miles east of here .last night, killing him instantly. The name of the unfortunate man could not be learned. He was an employe of the road, on the Millville section, and was said to be drunk at the time he met his death. Stiddcn D°ath of an Old Minister.

Owen countiss, will be held at the‘grounds of tbe Gosport Public Park Association, at Gosport, on Thursday, Aug. 9. The Battle Grouud camp-meeting is in progress, with a large attendance. Owing to the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railroad’s refusal to ruu Sunday trains, the meeting on that day is substantially a failure in point of numbers. An excursion to Fort Wayne, on Sunday, over the Ft. W., C. &, L. road, picked up tweniv-tive car-loads along the line. The return trip was rendered almost unendurable by the cursing and fighting of a horde of drunken roughs who seemed to have the decent element under their control. ILLINOIS. An Old Citizen of Mount Clare Stoned to Death by a Crowd of Roughs. Mount Clark, 111., Aug. 6.—A party of roughs returning from a resort known as Turner Park, near this city, yesterday afternoon, entered the grounds of Mr. Lovette, an old and respected resident, and proceeded to despoil the fruit trees.

An eccentric Washington, Tazewell county; loafer, lias bought tour large arm-chairs, and plaet and them in as many promineur, stores where he usually stops, so he can alwajs have u chair of his own when he comes down. At Moline, on Saturday night, Gertrude, the beautiful and accomplished wife of the Rev. A. B. Allen, the most popular Episcopal minister iu the State, drowned herself in a shallow stream. ll**r remains were found lying flat in the water, face downward. Mental aberration was the cause. BUSINESS DIFFICULTIES. The Vermont Natl nal Bank of St. Albans Closes Its Doors. St. Albans, Vt., Aug. G—The Vermont National Bank, of St. Albans, Bradley Barlow president, closed its doors this morning, causing great consternation among depositors. Barlow is also president and owner of the Southeastern railway of Canada, and it is understood he lias failed, and that all his property is involved, besides a considerable amount loaned by banks and individuals to assist him in his railroad management Barlow says he has assigned all his property to the bank for the benefit of all depositors, and that his failure is due to the unsuccessful result of his attempt to sell the Southeastern railway to the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company. He expected, up to a few days ago, to accomplish the sale, but failing in this, he was compelled to suspend. The bank discounted about $325,000 for the Southeastern railroad, and the loan was made on bonds of the Boston, j Montreal & Portland railway. Failing to realize money on the bonds, lit was deemed best to close the bank. J The deposits of the bank are about | $320,000, and Barlow thinks the depositors wnl be paid in full. The officers of the bank state that its affairs are in proper shape, and the bank examiner has been notified of its situation. Tne Southeastern railway is a road which had been taken in hand by Barlow, who raised it from a state of ineffici- ! enev. requiring a large outlay. Barlow held | a large amount of bonds, not attempting to put them npon the market, and the road has been an active borrower in consequence, in order to carry on improvements, the earnings barely covering the current expenses. Its line extends from Montreal tcv* New port, Vt., little over a Hundred miles, and has branches to various points in the Provinces, which make up a total of 300 miles of road in operation. Tiie suspension of the bank was totally unexpected, and is likely to have a serious effect upon members who have been indorsers upon its papers; but the real condition of its affairs in this resoect is not fully known. It is understood that Barlow bad invested about $1,000,000 in the Southeastern railroad. The St. Albans Trust Company also suspended, irs president, Lawrence Brainard, who was a heavy indorser of Barlow’s pat>er. having made an assignment for the benefit of the trmt company. Brainard’s property assigned is valued at $500,000. Barlow states that be made no provision for tiis family. He and they are absolutely penniless. The floating liabilities of the i Southeastern railway are $500,000. Tiie suspension of the St. Albans Trust Company is not permanent. President Brainard is able to meet all liabilities of the Trust company, also all liabilities us indorser for Barlow.

The Ward Failure. Boston. Aug. 6.—A meeting of ‘creditors of C. 11. Ward, the boot and shoe manufacturer who suspended last week, was held at his office to-day, at which Ward made a brief statement reviewing his business established and the anises which led to the suspension. The liabilities nre stated to be about $745,000; assets, $232,000. M. F. Dickinson, assignee, stated that if any creditor desired to push Ward into insolvency they would not oppose it, but Ward would at once file his voluntary petition. He urged the great saving to he effected by ’ orking off the stock at the factory, but, although duly authorized, he did not feel like prosecuting this work except under advice of a committee of creditors. A Hotel Keeper Confesses Judgment. Chicago, Aug. o.—Hiram G. Crawford, proprietor of the Crawford House, confessed jngment to-day in favor of Charles K. Tuerk, of Chicago, for $10,034. and in favor of Otto G. Schullenberg for $23,734. These are understood to be about the extent of the liabilities. The assets are estimated at $40,000. Braid-Works Burned. Lawrknck, Mass.. Aug. 6. —The Wright Braid Manufacturing Company’s building burned to-day. Loss. $150,000; insurance, $66,000. One hundred ami sixty-five operatires ure thrown out of employment.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1883

THE PROLONGED STRIKE. Probable Misunderstanding of the Order to Kailroad Operators. Reports Show that Bat Few Went Out Yesterday—Railroads Ready for Any Emergency—A Laborers* Strike. THE TELEGRAPHERS. An Order Directing the Iron Mountain Railroad Operators to Go Out. St. Louis, Aug. 6.—The following order issued from here last Saturday fell into the hands of the telgraph officials to-day: To all tli* Operators and Agents of the Iron Mountain Railroad. Unless otherwise notified, all members working for the Iron Mountain road will suspend work at noon, St. Louis time, on Tuesday, Aug. 7, 1883. Agents should not refuse to perform their duties as agents, but absolutely refuse to touch a key. Mail me at once notice of your concurrence with this order. By order of the executive hoard of Brotherhood of Telegraphers of the United States and Canada. M. D. Biiaw, Secretary. Charles W. Hammond, superintendent of all railroad telegraph lines on the Gpuld Southwestern system, received to-day from M. D. Shaw, secretary, a communication in behalf of tbe operators on the Iron Mountain road, demanding an increase of $lO per month on all salaries now paid; that no salary shall be less than SSO per month, and that ail Sunday work shall be compensated as extra service. Mr. Hammond will not pay any attention to the demand, but if the operators on the road go out to-morrow he will man all important offices with other men, and, if necessary, close all minor offices along the line of the road. He has no fears but he wili be able to transact all the business of the road with but little, if any, interruption. The Wabash officials have no information at this writing, bevotid the fact that three operators have gone out at Decatur, 111., und three at Springfield. The Situation at Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 6. —lt is very difficult to get any definite information and very easy, to get any amount of rumors relative to the longthreatened strike of railroad telegraphers. ’Careful inquiry at the general railroad offices of this city fails to bring to light a single case where a railroad operator left liis key to-day in this city and vicinity, though it was understood on Sunday night that operators on the Wabash and Chicago A Alton would be called out at noon to-day. The fact that not a man left his instrument gives color to the general belief that a strike was not actually ordered for that time, or, if ordered, bus been countermanded. It is now surmised that the order was not to strike to-day, but continue to do railroad business as usual, merely Refusing business for the Western Upion, with the understanding that if the company insisted on sending commercial business, or discharged any operators for refusing to take commercial business the strike should actually begin to-raorrow noon. This seems to tally with the dispatches from St. Louis, it is now said the bill of grievances presented to the Chicago A Alton met with recognition from that road to the extent of a notice to the committee that men who have grievances should apply individually to their division superintendents, and the Brotherhood profess to have information to the effect that the division superintendents have been instructed to lend a kindly ear to such complaints. Railway officials are reticent as to whether they received the bill of grievances, hut prompt in saying they are prepared for the worst the operators can do, and say they have assurance that very few of their men will obey the Brotherhood’s behest in case a strike is ordered. The' Brotherhood men profess to believe the Northwestern road inclined to yield to their demands, and there is a feeling among tbe strikers not to hurry matters in that quarter. Strikers here admit that a hitch of some sort in carrying out the intentions of the executive committee relative to the railroad operators* strike has occurred, and that Western n.en, to whom tiie tecrets of the Brotherhood are confided, have made a mistake in their instructions and struck. The following dispatch was received here ibis evening from the assistant superintendent of telegraph of the Wabash system in the Southwest: Bt. Louis, Aue. 6.—The strike ordered on the Wabash to-day was a complete failure; only four went out. G. O-Kinsman.

An Order Th-t Was Not Obeyed. Chicago, Aug. 6.—lt transpired, late tonight, that the order for a sirike of operators on the Chicago & Alton railroad was actually given, to take effect at noon today. A copy of the official order, signed by Master Workman Campbell, of New York, and M ster Workman Morris, of Chicago, will be published in the morning. It recites grievances to the effect that the road discharged operators who refused to send Western Union business; sets forth the demands which the Brotherhood made on the company, its refusal to negotiate with them, and concludes with instruction io all members of the Brotherhood in its employ to quit work at noon ou Monday, Aug. 6, 1883. 4 By some mischance the orders for Chicago did not arrive in time, hence the operators continued at their desks. Brotherhood men. however. say tonight that orders are being distributed at the offices of the company in the city; that messengers have been sent down the line to Bloomington, distributing copies, and the strike will begin in the morning. Only Four Gone on the Wabash. Toledo, 0., Aug. G. —The threatened order to telegraph operators on tne Wabash railway to leave their places culminated at noon to-day. Superintendent Selden has advices that four men only in the entire system under his management obeyed the summons. Their places have been filled, and Superintendent Selden is confident tiiat this will be tbe extent of the defection on that road. Not a Man Left His Post. . New York, Aug. G.—The officers of the Delaware & Lackawanna road say that the order of Mr. Campbell to the operators on teat road to leave their posts to-day was not responded to by a single employe. Returning to Work. Moncton, N. 8., Aug. G. —The strike of the telegraphers has ended. The men voluntarily returned to work. A STRIKE OF LABORERS. Sewer Laborers at Washington Demand an Advance of Lay. Washington, Aug. G.—An extensive strike took place to-day among the laborers upon the great boundary sewer for an increase from $1.25 to $1.50 per dsy. The bosses at the sewer believed a riot imminent and telephoned for the police to protect the men who persisted in going to work. They also believed the strikers were about to march to the brickyards and induce or compel others to quit work. Mounted officer Slack ordered the men to disperse, and a muscular young oolored man named Win. Clifton ordered them to fall in and march to the brickyards. Slack drew a pistol and again ordered the crowd to disperse, and several men threatended to drag him off his horse. Bquadu of

police arrived at this time, and the strikers dispersed. Officer Slack arrested Clifton and brought him to the Police Court, where he was charged with disorderly conduct. Judge Mills dismissed the case. It is stated here that the operators of the Shenandoah Valley road struck this afternoon. SPOUTING MATTERS.

Smith, shot dead; James Kinkaid and Will|Dunn, mortally wounded; Green Brougham. Win. Arnold and Robert Halliton, seriously wounded. The last two are white men. Not So Many Arrests as Was Expected. St. Louis, Aug. G.—The prosecuting attorney issued 104 warrants to-day against those who violated the Sunday law yesterday. All who violated tiie law on the previous Sunday also reneated, but no warrants were issued in their cases. The total number of cases reported shows a far more general observance of the law than on the previous Sunday. In the Central police district, the most important section of the city, only 15G cases are rejiorted, against 256 last week, and other districts sliowed a corresponding falling off in the number of offenders. The first of the liquor cases in court was dismissed to-day. without trial, as there was no proof of offense. Poisoned ly Festival Ice Cream. Charleston, S, C., Aug. G.—At Camden, on Friday night, many persons partook of ice cream at a Baptist church festival, and on Saturday fifty-nine were taken seriously ill. One child died. Only about two-thirds of the victims are pronounced out of danger. Another dispatch states that sixty persons were poisoned, and twelve are still in a critical condition. A daughter of Z. B. Shiver is the person dead. Two negroes and one woman (also colored) have been arrested on a charge of attempting to poison tiie family of Andrew Dauiel, of Spartanburg.

Why a Senate Committee Postponed Investigation. New York, Aug. 6. —The United States Senate committee on labor ami education met this morning and adjourned to the 13th inst. They intended to begin an investigation of the present telegraph strike, but the witnesses, among whom are John Campbell, John Mitchell, Eugene Conner and other leaders of tiie strike, could not attend owing to additional duties devolving upon them in consequence of ordering out of railroad operators, and the postponement was requested on this account. Proceedings to Test a License Ordinance. Chicago, Aug. 6.— The Citizens’ League began quo warranto proceedings, to-day, against John B. Drake, proprietor of the Grand Pacific Hotel, to test the validity of the ordinance passed by the city couucil a few days before the State license law went into effect, fixing the price of saloon licenses at $lO3 instead of SSOO, as prescribed by State law. This is done to bring matters to a speedy issue. The saloon-keepers are thus far fightiug for delay. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.
