Services at the State Young Men’s Christian Association. Bpeclal to tlie Indianapolis Journal. iIuNCXE, Oct. 5. —The second day’s session of the State Y. M. C. A. convention opened this morning, in the Presbyterian Church, with devotional services conducted by Geo. S. Fisher, of Anderson. Conversation meeting followed, led by D. A. Sinclair, of Dayton. O. L. W. Munhall, of Indianapolis, in speaking of Eli Perkins, said: “Perkins is a fraud. He is imposing on our organization. I would not tolerate him.” Os Burdette he said: “Burdette is aY.M.C. A. man. I never allow my modesty to stand in the way of my usefulness.” Song by the audience, “Land of Canaan,” followed by prayer by George C. Williams. Bible reading by Rev. Cobb, subject, “The word of God.” The afternoon session was opened by singing “Joy cometh in the morning,” and reading of the Scripture lesson. In the absence of the chairman A. M. Burns took the chair, and Dr. H. C. Mabie, of Indianapolis, addressed the meeting on the “condition of soulsaving power” in which he said: “I would have every one here ask himself the question—is there a deep sense of the voluntary guilt of men? There is a great deal of fatalism in our land. Men are trying to deny their agency before God. Man is responsible for his condition; men are not simply unfortunate and they are guilty; men are free to do the will of God and unless he does so he is in great danger. If a man would have the power to save souls he he must make this the supreme end of his life. It is not alone for ministers to do this, but for all classes of men. God holds every man for the benevolence of heart, compassionate of spirit. Make it a supreme business to save souls, save your own soul, save your fellow-men—men of your business. The Christian man must subordinate bis life to the word of God. These precepts were spoken not for the disciples alone. Don’t make the mistake to think men stop growing. There are men in our churches who have not grown an inch in thirty years. The more we increase the more profoundly do we realize that we know nothing. When God teaches us a thing let us submit to it. Do you suppose God would leave us in the dark in the way we should walk? Following this, reports from the several committees were read and approved. General Secretary Munhall reported as follows - Visited six district conventions, sixtyfive local conferences, traveled 22.243 miles, wrote 1,398 letters, 413 postal cards. 57 telegrams, sent out 1,496 circular letters, 7,944 printed, documents, 127,000 tracts, delivered 26 lectures, 319 public addresses, 201 sermons, 100 Bible readings, making an averago of two • jons per day.

Special to tlie Indianapolis Journal. Grkensburg, Oct. 5. —A very strange event occurred in the Circuit Court to-day. A jury, after being out most of yesterday and all night, returned a verdict of two and a half years in the penitentiary for John R. Tucker. Last May, in a free fight at Adams, this county, John Kline and John R. Tucker were badly hurt. Two indictments were returned against Tucker. The case which was considered the stronger was tried by the court, resulting in an acquittal. The other was tried by a jury, and so confident was the defense of a finding of guilty only of a simple assault and battery that the attorneys did not examine a single witness, expecting a small fine, with possibly a few days in jail for their client. Tucker has a wife and six small children who will be compelled to live on charity. Heath of Dr. Jones, of Covington. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Covington, Oct. 5. —Dr. Caleb V.

WASHINGTON NEWS. Suit Against the Postmaster-General—lt Will Probably Be Set Aside. Washington, Oct. s.— ANew Orleans national bank has brought suit against Post-master-general Gresham for SIOO,OOO damages, alleged to have been sustained by reason of his lecent order directing that money orders addressed to the Dank, but intended fora lottery company, shall not be delivered.

Washington, Oct. s.— The case of First Lieutenant James F.

The court found Lieutenant Simpson gniity, and sentenced him to dismissal. It is understood that Judge Advocate-genefttl Swaim, In his review of the case, takes exception to the action of the court, and recommends that the sentence be set aside. Fighting the Postmaster-General. Washington Special. Since the Postmaster-general issued his recent orders against the Louisiana Lottery Company, the Washington Post has left no opportunity unimproved of attacking Judge Gresham. Recently it published an editorial of nearly a column making grave charges against the integrity of the postmaster at Portland, Me. The Post stated that he had recently been a defaulter to the amount of several thousand dollars, and that Judge Gresham had covered up his offenses. The Postmaster-general spent last night in a thorough investigation of the charges, and a careful search of the records of the department shows them to be entirely without foundation, and malicious. It is stated that the Louisiana Lottery Company’s bills for advertising in the Post are enormous since the Judge’s order. A Dead Clerk and His Money. Washington Special, That government clerking will afford a support, under certain circumstances, is shown in the case of the late Major T. J.

RELIGIOUS CONVENTIONS m■ ■ Address of tlie Bishop of Rochester to the Kpiscopal Council. Ilpports of Missionary Bisliop—Tlie Minnesota Methodists Opposed to the Removal of the Time Limit. THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION. Address by the Lord liishup of Rochester — Reports of the Bishops. Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. s.—The general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States reassembled this | morning. The morning prayer was read by Rev. Wm. B. Ashley, D. D., of Wisconsin, and Rev. Samuel H. Gresy, D. D., of the diocese of Connecticut. The benediction was pronounced by Right Rev. Henry Benj. W hipple, D. D., Bishop of Minnesota. The Lord Bishop of Rochester, Right Rev. Dr. Thorold, was then introduced, and addressed the house, all the deputies remaining standing. He begged most heartily to return thanks for the kindness and courtesy with which his name was received. It was not his first visit to this country, and he hoped it would not be the last. He was not so foolish as to hide tram himself the fact that kindness was extended to him as a representative of England and of the church. Let no one persuade you, said the Lord Bishop, that England has ceased to love America. The English Church is proud of the life and activity of her daughter. We in the old country do not feel as if we are in our decrepitude yet. The American church is foremost among the religious bodies of what he might truly call a religious land. In less than 100 years sixty-two sees have been created in this country, without asking permission of a legislature. In the words of Cardinal Newman and John Bright, only be united among yourselves, said the Lord Bishop, and you will be invincible. On motion of Bishop Stevens, of Pennsylvania, the rules were suspended, in order that the Lord Bishop of Rochester might present a communication from the Archbishop of Canterbury. Tite Lord Bishop said the Archbishop desired to congratulate the American Church on the approaching centenary of the consecration of Right Rev. Bishop Seabury. The Lord Bishop paid a glowing tribute to the memory of the late Dr. Tait, Archbishop of Canterbury. He said he would do his best to persuade his successor, the new Archbishop, to visit the United States. The Lord Bishop argued for increased missionary work at home as well as abroad. He considered the United States as the kingdom of common sense. Much of our preaching, said the speaker, is unintelligible to the masses. What are we to do? In England they say to the masses: We will give you cnurches of your own, where you can conte and bring your wives and children, and service and preaching will be easily understood. The key to the problem is: “Let a mission church be annexed to every wealthy church, and see that the congregations are cared for.” He did not wish to be considered guilty of impertinent flattery, but when he went to Rome he always would say the American people were the most religious people in the world, and he considered any religion better than none. He wished the laymen of tlie Episcopal Church in America to reflect that their master might have work for them to do here that they never thought of before. Y r on are all of you born speakers, and if you can speak on politics, and temperance, and other subjects, why cannot you spsak irt the service of the Lord Jesus Christ? He had upwards of a hundred lay preachers and Widens in his diocese. He did noi subject tfreni to any kind of examination, atith once a year, at a solemn service, they tire admitted to the work of the church. Temperance was another theme of the Lord Bishop of Rochester. He said: “We may have as many free churches as we please, we may open as many free libraries as we please, but as long as the demon of intemperance haunts our homes our churches will be useless, sermons useless, and the efforts of laymen useless.” At St. Louis, recently, he heard some of the best speaking he ever heard. A man got up at a meeting and stated that all the ravages ot fire, civil war, etc., were not equal to the evil caused by intemperance. If you want to earn the eternal gratitude of the masses, you will use your energies and prayers in this battle against imtemperance. What fie desired and hoped he was to see was a thoroughly organized system of temperance. If the Episcopal Church in America will throw herself into the strife the blessing of God will be with her. A ’etter from the Archbishop of Canterbury was read, the deputies standing. It congratulated the convention on the approaching centenary of tlie consecration of Bishop Seabury. the. first prelate of the Episcopal Church in America. Resolutions of congratulation were also read from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. A committee tvas appointed to make a suitable reply. The second triennial report of the board of managers of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society stated that the total income was $1,169,658, an increase of $220,731. The creation of new missionary jurisdictions in New Mexico, Montana and Washington Territory for the general convention added largely to the demands for appropriations. The gross receipts applicable seem increased sufficiently to meet them, or nearly so. The committee appointed names for the board of managers. Bishop Clarkson, of Nebraska, addressed the board relative to the work in that diocese. Nebraska has thirty-six clergy, thirtyfive churches. 2,200 communicants. The church institutious are a cathedral, hospital, bishop’s residence and a moderate Episcopal endowment. Bishop Clarkson pleaded for bishorts for Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, Arizona and even Alaska. The report of the Bishop of Yeddo stated that since the last convention the number of catechists and assistants had doubled, the foreign teachers increased from one to five, baptisms increased, schools from four to eight, scholars in boarding and day schools from forty to ninety, and in Sunday-schools from 100 to 125. There are now twelve chapels; in 1880 there were five. Bishop Tuttle, of Utah, pleaded in behalf of missionary bishops for all tlie Territories, He referred to the inroads of Mormonism into Georgia and Mississippi, and said the Mormon Church was a mighty missionary one. Bishop Morris, of Oregon, read a report of the work in his diocese since the meeting of tlie last convention. It stated that there are now in the diocese eighteen clergymen ar.d another ready to join, 127 adults and 481 children baptized, 241 persons confirmed; number of communicants, 920. Thirteen rectories have been built. The diocese endowment amounts to $53,000. The completion of the Northern Pacific road inaugurated anew condition of things in that section of country. Bishop Whitaker, of Nevada, reported the same number of clergy in his diocese as three years ago. Tlie fact must be looked squarely in the face that Nevada will always be a missionary field. The Bishop made an appeal for $2,500 to pay off the debt on thp Reno school. Bishop Pierce, of Arkansas and Indian Territory, said a great deal had been heard about the large population of the Northwest. The population of Arkansas is 802,000. He had no doubt in 1890 there would be a mill-

! ioq and a half. He had heard of contributions for missionary work in tlie way of “spe- | cials,” so called, but not of any coming to J Arkansas. The Bishop of Niobrara said thirteen years ago, when tlie missionary jurisdiction of . Nrobrara was set apart, that section of country was almost exclusively occupied by Indians, about 30,000 in number. The Indians had never been subjected to degradation by coming in contact with the whites. The Bishop maintained that the Indians were mentally and morally a superior people. They are being deprived of everything they hold most dear, and actually stripped alive. In any bargain undertaken with our people they have been egregiously swindled. If an outbreak among the | Indians should make us shudder, we must | recollect the great wrongs they are ant to j forget themselves. There arein the Bishop’s | diocese thirteen clergymen—five natives, j They have books in their language. If any one thing ha3 made the Indians the prey of white men it is that they have lived on little reservations and constituted an indigestible mass, of which society was anxious to get rid. Tlie sooner the Indians are like our people the sooner they will cease to be Indians. In Niobrara there are thirteen ministering women and thirteen active clergy. During tlie last three years eighty-four adults a’nd four hundred and sixty-eight children have been baptized, and in the past ten years nine bun- | dred persons have been presented for confirmation. The Board of Missions then adjourned. Tomorrow other missionary bishops will present reports. THE METHODISTS. The Minnesota Conference Opposed to the Removal of the Time Limit. St, Paul, Minn., Oct. 6.—The Minnesota Conference of the M. E. Church this morning voted down a resolution asking the General Conference to remove the time limit of pastors, and adopted the following: “Whereas, A respeotable amt thoughtful ministry in the chureh believe the time.when the extent or the pastoral term should be made more ] flexible, to meet special emergencies, therefore, “Resolved, That the Minnesota Animal Conference requests the next.

W. B. Stowe, of Chicago; S. Halsey, of Milwaukee; Joseph Anderson, -cf Zion. Lay delegates: George H. Foster, of Milwaukee, and H. D. Moore, of Fond dn Lac.

Dnn &Cos., of the mercantile agency, report that the week just closing has been one of quietude in New York, with a very considerable decline in the volume of business, which is to be expected as the season advances. Reports from Western cities indicate more activity, and exchanges in that section show increased business. No special feature has been presented in the markets. Moderate activity prevails in dry goods circles, and the season’s trade, neither unsatisfactory in dimensions nor in profits, is drawing to a close. The failures continue to be numerous, but they seem to reflect more the mistakes of the past than any serious trouble in business at present. Tite money market continues easy, though the exhaustion of tlie surplus reserve of the banks leads to a contraction of loans, the effect of which, however, lias not been at all serious. The grain markets have been irregular and unsettled, but without much variation in prices. There is a better feeling i the provision trade, but the advance in prices is slight. Condition of toe Iron and Steel Trade. St. Louis, Oct. s.—The Age of Steel will publish to-morrow about thirty letters from iron, steel and hardware manufacturers and and dealers in various parts of the West relating to the present condition and outlook for fall trade in tiiese lines. A summary of the letters shows the present condition of trade good, the demand comparing very favorably with that of last fall. Sales are larger, as a rule, than last year, but prices, however, are low, so that the percentage of profits will not vary materially from last year. The outlook is encouraging as to volume, but not as to prices. The condition of the country is such that there will be a large demand for goods for actual consumption, but anxiety on the part of manufacturers to dispose of excessive production causes weakness in prices all through the trade, down to the retail dealers. Failures of the Week. New York, Oct. 5.—R. G. Dnn & Co.’s mercantile agency reports as follows: The business failures for the week throughout the United States and Canada number 188, as against 180 last week. In New York city the failures were insignificant in number and amount. ISrutal Murder t All© gheny. Pittsburg, Oct. s.—Butchers’ Run district, in Allegheny, made famous by the great floods of 1874, was the scene, to-night, of one of the most brutal murders that ever occurred in this vicinity. John Brown and James Weaver, aged respectively twenty-two and . twentyfour years, were partners in the horse trade, and to-day a dispute arose between them over family matters and the partnership was dissolved. Weaver was in debt to Brown forty-seven dollars and fifty cents, and this evening the latter called at Weaver’s house and in the presence of Weaver’s wife and child demanded payment. Weaver promised to settle tomorrow, but Rrown insisted on having it at or.ee, and finally drew a revolver and fired three times, each bullet taking effect in Weaver’s body, killing him instantly. The enraged man then jumped on the lifeless remains, and after taking the money from his pocket first, beat out his brains with tire revolver ar.d then broke a chair over his head, while the wife and child of the murdered man stood by paralyzed with fear and horror. Brown then fled and has not been captured. The Naturalization of Chinese. PniLADET.pniA, Oct. I. —The naturalization of the Chinese came to an abrupt termination to-day, wtien Chong Nom appeared before Judge Y'erkes and was refused nis papers in spite of compliance with all the requirements of the regular naturalization law. The judge’s action is based upon the fourteenth section of the act of May 6, 1882, restricting Chinese immigration. That section provides that hereafter no State court or court of the United States shall admit Chinese to citizenship. After bearing this decision. Judge Arnold made a decision revoking the papers which he granted on Thursday to Chong Kee. The National Prison Association. New York, Oct. s, — Tlie board of directors of the National Prison Association of the United States met this afternoon, ex-Presi-dent Hayes, who is president of the association, in the chair. A motion to call a national conference of prison officers and workers to discuss indefinite sentences, the system of prison labor, and other vexed questions, was referred to the executive committee for action. Such a meeting will prohably be held soon. Theory of the Origin of the Pittsburg Fire. Pittsburg, Oct. s.—The theory that tlie exposition fire was started by Professor Warner’s balloon was greatly strengthened to-day by the statement of C. Cook, exposition painter. He says that the day before tlie fire he saw Professor Warner and two assistants pour linseed oil on tile balloon by the bucketful. This was in their room, and he thinks the heat caused the oil to ignite. Tne fire marshal agrees with this theory. Diseased Cattle. Chicago, Oct. s.—The city health inspector reports that he found at the Union stock-yards, on Thursday, nine head of cattle infected with cancer and had them slain. To-dav he found seven additional. The part of the animal couimoniy

the seat of cancer is the tongue, but soma of them were found to have large sores on their sides and necks. The cattle affected came from various parts of the country. Concesnion Grunted.

Negro Losers at Cards Hold the Winner Over a Fire and Fatally Burn Him. New Orleans Special. A more brutal crime than that perpetrated at Provencal, Natchitoches parisii, on Sunday night, has scarcely been chronicled. Six negro section hands of the New Orleans Pacific railroad, and one Bradfield, sat around a camp fire in the woods for a game of cards. Bradfield was in luck and succeeded in winning all the money of the others. Exasperated at their losses, the negroes demanded that their money should be returned to them. This demand Bradfield resisted. An assault was then made upon him, and tha money taken away. Not content with this, tlie infuriated negroes seized their victim, who was a powerful man, and resisted violently, and forced him upon the fire. He was held by the legs and arms, notwithstanding his violent struggles, until his hair and scalp, one hand and the other arnx were burned off, and then released. In this horribly mutilated condition he managed to drag himself along for seveial miles until he reached a place where assistance was rendered him. His injuries were so severe, however, that he died oti Monday night in great agony. The facts were kept concealed until yesterday, when warrants were issued for’ Bradfield’s murderers. They are a desperate gang and will probably show fight before they will submit to arrest. The same gang were on trial a few days before the assault upon Bradfield, charged with the murder of their section boss, but were released becansa no direct evidence against them could be secured. The general belief is that they committed that murder also. Building a Railway by Resolutlta. San Francisco Chronicle. The People's Railroad Company has emerged from obscurity again, in a meeting of the Chicago stockholders. The company never had any financial backing and its designs were too large and loose to satisfy those who were looking for a rival railroad line across the continent. The projectors evidently expected that a few resolutions, a board of directors and such formula of organization would launch a railroad and bring in subscriptions to the stock. Doubtless they are now wiser and have less sanguine ideas of the gullibility of the public.
