"WHEN" INI) IC ATLOXS. For Tennessee and tlie Ohio Valley—Rain, followed by colder and partly cloudy weather. AN IMPORTANTCASE The verdict of a jury of one million people rendered in favor of the WHEN. The verdict reads: “We, the jury, find the WHEN guilty of selling more goods in a day, and at prices that further outreaches competition than any house in America, and that for square dealing they absolutely stand without a peer. We further say that upon the closest examination we find the public can save from 15 to 25 per cent, on every article purchased at the When.” Every express train brings new goods to the WHEN. Every freight train brings new goods to the WHEN. The drain upon our house is without precedent, yet our factory is equal to the emergency, and our stock is kept replete in every department. Overcoats for Men, Youths, Boys and Children. Suits for Men, Youths, Boys and Children. Pants and Vests for Men, Youths, Boys and Children. There is absolutely no end to variety in every department at the WHEN

KATE TOWNSEND’S FUNERAL. Her Fortune of $200,000 Left to the Man Who Murdered Her. New Orleans, Nov. s.—Kate Townsend, the courtesan murdered by Treville Sykes, •was buried yesterday afternoon. The corpse was inclosed in a handsome casket. Large numbers of people had assembled at the cemetery, ostensibly to view and renew the faded decorations of All Saints’ Day. Among these were many of high social position. When the Townsend funeral procession arrived every other feeling seemed to have been lost sight of except a wild desire to view the casket, and hundreds passed forward over 'the grave, scattering decorations, shrubbery, and other adornments in all directions to get a look at the coffin in which were confined the remains of perhaps the most widely known member of the demimonde in the States. It is estimated that 5,000 peo‘ple, the larger number being ladies, were present during the funeral ceremonies. The ,large fortune of the murdered woman was !left in her will to the man who murdered her, and his relations. It is now positively known that the murder was committed in a fit of jealousy. A cotton clerk named McSearn had supplanted Sykes in the woman’s affections. DRUMMERS TO MAKE! A DEMAND. * A General Move Contemplated to Ask Special Rates from All Railroads. Chicago, Nov. s.—The office of the commissioner of the Ohio river pool will be removed to Indianapolis to-morrow. At an informal meeting of the passenger agents of the east-bound trunk lines to-day it was discovered that the Grand Trunk had been selling half-fare tickets to commercial travelers on Saturday from Detroit to Chicago. A representative of that road explained that it was done on a petition of the Commercial Travelers’ Association, in order to allow members to spend Sunday with their families, but, as other roads objected, it would be withdrawn. It is stated in this connection that the drummers are preparing to make a united demand upon the roads on Jan. 1 for special tickets at rates lower than at present given them, for special privileges in the way of extra-weight baggage, for reduced rates on excess baggage, and for special Saturday rates from all points. Probably a Canard. New York, Nov. s.—Clerk Bowers, of the Albany penitentiary, who scrutinizes the mail of prisoners in that institution, opened the following telegram on Saturday: New York, Nov. 3. Baron Robert Herman, Albany Penitentiary: Received cablegram informing us that you have fallen lielr to the estates of Baron Bernstein, valued at $2,000,000. Particulars when sentence expires. Ulrich, Vanseller & Ulrich. In this city the story is not generally believed. The telegram announcing his fortune was alleged to have been signed by Ulrich, Vanseiler & Ulrich, lawyers of this city. Investigations made to-day disprove several pf his assertions. The so-called firm of Ulrich, Vanseiler <& Ulrich is not known to

business men here and is not in the business directories. At police headquarters a fruitless search was made for the alleged baron’s photographs in the rogue’s gallery. The police have no recollection of him, and inquiries in other quarters failed to elicit any information. Showing Cause for the Violation of a Law. Harrisburg, Nov. 5. —The mandamus case against the State Sinking Fund Commissioners to compel them to show cause for violation of the law relative to the investment of State bonds, came up to-day, but no action was taken. The Republican members of the commission were not ready to proceed, and a continuance of the case until Saturday was agreed to by the court, at which time they are obliged to file their answer. Secretary of State Stenger, a Democratic member of the board of commissioners, filed his answer, in which he stated that he had at all times been anxious to execute the law, but he had always been over-led by the majority. The Glass-Blowers’ Strike. Pittsburg,, Pa., Nov. s.—The window-glass manufacturers at Bellefontaine to-day notified Pittsburg manufactured that they could not fill an order for glasS; as their men threaten to strike if more shipments are made. This is due to an order from the headquarters of the workmen. The bottle glass-blowers have issued a circular to druggists and patent medicine dealers threatening to boycott them if they buy bottles made by non-union workmen. A crisis in the glass-workers’ strike is believed to be at hand. .Manufacturershaving manifested a willingness to meetacommittee of employes, the latter to-night asked for a conference next Thursday afternoon, when it is believed a compromise will be effected and work resumed in all factories. Women’s Missions. Des Moines, la., Nov. s.—At the Womans’ Foreign Missionary Society, at the morning session to-day, the Western branch of the society presented a petition asking for a division iuto three sections. The first, Minnesota and Dakota, as the Minneapolis branch; the second, lowa and Missouri, as the Des Moine3 branch; the third Kansas and Nebraska, as the Topeka branch, with headquarters at each of the places named. The Cincinnati branch asked that Tennessee be admitted to that branch. Reports front foreign fields were made and accepted. Tiie afternoon devotional meeting was conducted by Mrs. Stevens, of Wilmington, Del. The session will probably last the entire week. Three Hundred Cattle Burned. Detroit, Nov. 5. —Fire at about 10 o’clock to-night at Walkerville, Ontario, about three miles above the city on the opposite side of the river destroyed the extensive range of sheds attached to the large distillery of Hiram Walker & Sons, and 300 head of cattle stabled for fattening. A high wind was blowing directly onto the river. Had it been in the opposite direction nothing could have saved the entire town from distructiou. Some smaller buildings, were also destroyed. The loss is estimated at $50,000; well insured. An Engine in a River. Sr. Albans, Vt, Nov. 5.—A train on the Missisquoi railroad was thrown from the track by a misplaced switch and the engine precipitated into the river. The engineer, Thomas Flood, had both legs broken and his skull fractured. The fireman, Fred Hanser, went down with the engine and was killed. No passengers were injured. Ed Ellis, a brakeman, is accused of turning and locking the switch and causing the accident.

INDIANAPOLIS, TUESDAY MORNING-, NOVEMBER 6, 18S3.

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS Guessing at the Probable Result in Some of the Eastern States. Prediction that Robinson Will Come to Boston with Twenty Thousand Majority, and Hence Will Win. New York and Pennsylvania Uncertain, and Claimed by Nobody. Virginia Greatly Excited Over the Danville Riot and Other Disturbances —Extensive Sales of Fire-Arms. MASSACHUSETTS. Indications that But'er Will Be Beaten by Ten Thousand Majority. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Boston, Mass., Nov. 5. —The hottest campaign in Massachusetts since the Know-noth-ing days, closed to-night. Estimates vary widely. The Democratic State committee claims 12.000 to 18,000; Butler had 14,000 last year. The Republican managers are equally confident, and predict 15,000 to 25,000 for Robinson. The uncertain elements in the campaign are several. Butler’s bid for the colored vote by nominating a negro for police justice will gain over some Africans hitherto staunchly. Republican; the Governor’s opposition ic the “color blind” legislation is counted upon to secure a very large contingent of railroad employes. Both officers of railroads and workmen have opposed the color test; it is claimed that the examinations are farcical, and that the law was simply passed to give an expert a place. There are 30,000 railroad employes in the State, and, as the presidents of several roads openly advocate Butler, the Democrats count on a gain of 5,000 who ordinarily vote against them. On the Republican side 24,000 voters of the party stayed at home last year, and it is expected, the interest in the contest being everywhere intense, that they will come out and vote. There were 12,000 Republicans who voted last November “to give the old man a chance,” Bishop, their candidate, being unpopular. At least 8,000 of these last year’s malcontents are booked by the Republican committee as sure to return to the fold. Then the movement ot “old line” Democrats who cannot swallow Butler, and the growing feeling that, if re-elected, he will be a danger in Democratic national politics, is relied upon for a defection of from 4,000 to 8,000 from the Governor. Both parties concede heavy gains to Butler’s side from the registration this year, which is unprecedented. In this city the fight will be exciting, and people fear trouble at the polls in several wards. Mayor Palmer, who is a Democrat, has made appointments in several precincts that practically give control of the voting to the Butler men alone. Republicans fear that the workers can beat the honest voters, and they have organized vigilance committees in all precincts to “spot” repeaters and challenge supposed fraudulent voters. Democrats insist that all this is part of a scheme to keep down their vote by delaying Butler men, and are charging Republican managers with importing plug-uglies from New York to block the way to polls. These charges have had a serious effect. Republicans disclaim any intention of impeding honest voters, but say they will insist on a fair vote and an honest count

Your correspondent, judging from the awaking among Republicans here, thinks Butler will not touch 8,000 majority in Boston, losing 5,000 on last year. In Lowell, Butler’s home, and Lynn, always his stronghold, the Governor will hold his own, but he will lose heavily in Worcester, as well as in the center and west of the State. The east is likely to roll up an old-fashioned Republican majority. The Tewksbury disclosures are said by the Democrats to have rallied a good many grangers to Butler’s side, but this is doubtful. Conceding to tne Governor a gain of 2,500 railway voters, and a great many newly-made freemen from Ireland, your correspondent thinks that Robinson will come to Boston with at least 20,000 majority, and so must win. The Prohibitory and Greenback candidates will hardly poll 2,500 votes altogether. The Republican State ticket in general is likely to win, though Grinneli, Democrat, for Lieutenant-governor, will make a good run. Two Views. New York, Nov. 5.—E. B. Haskell, editor of the Boston Herald, writes the Mail and Express, of this city, that General Butler will be defeated by from 10,000 to 25,000 votes. William T. Croasdale, editor of the Day, says: “There is not any doubt of the election of the Democratic State officers and of a legislature Democratic on joint ballot. The contest for the State Senate, however, will be very close, as it happens that the majority of the holding-over Senators are Republicans.” Another of Butler’s New Methods. Boston Special. The Democrats have bought the majority of the news space of the Boston Herald for Monday and Tuesday, and have filled it with campaign matter, Governor Butler’s speeches, etc. The Herald has been the most powerful journalistic opponent of the Governor, and this action has aroused great indignation among Republican managers. Democrats claim to-night that Butler will be re-elected by from 5,000 to 15,000 plurality, while the Republicans expect Robinson’s election by from 10,000 to 30,000 plurality. Betting is slightly in favor of Robinson. The Lcgisla-

ture will be Republican without doubt. Enthusiastic Democrats claim they will capture the Senate. NEW YORK. A Possibility of a Republican Being Elected Secretary of State. Bpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. New York, Nov. s.—The political canvass closes in this State to-night with more of fireworks and gunpowder than was promised by its outset. Then the election of the Democratic State ticket by 50.000 majority or more was regarded as a matter of course. Now the figures are reduced largely, and as for the office of Secretary of State, the highest to be filled, the sudden injection of a liquor issue has made the success of General Carr, Republican, almost, if not quite, possible. The record of Maynard, the Democratic nominee, as a voter for prohibitory measures when in the Legislature has been cited against him in the cities, and it is calculated with damaging effect. The Democrats will be content with 20,000 or 30,000 majority. The State Senate will probably stand twenty to twelve in favor of the Republicans, and the Assembly seventy-four Democrats to fifty-four Republicans. Here in New York the liquor and beer interest is to-night making the great East-side noisy and flashy with transparencies on wagons, with bells, and sometimes bihss bands inside, drawing attention to inscriptions setting forth tne fact that Maynard’s single vote defeated a free saloon bill. The preponderating Democratic vote iu the metropolis is to be divided between Tammany and opposition Democratic candidates, and yet it looks as though Johnny Reilly will be elected register over Jimmy O’Brien, independent Democrat, and Jake Hess, Republican. Os the seven State senatorships in the oitv the Democrats will get five, and possibly six, and of the assemblymen, twenty-four of thirty-two. The excitement in this part of the State is highest in Brooklyn, where the outlook to-night is for a very close vote. Incumbent Low’s certainty of re-election has given place to about an equal division of hope between himself and Hendrix. As to confidence, there is none on either side. The Voice of u Prophet. Interview with A. Oukcy Hall. “I consider myself something of a prophet in political matters, and will give you this forecast of Tuesday’s election. In New Jersey the contest is going to he very close. Leon Abbott has been materially injured, and I would like to say who will be elected Governor of that State. In New York the Republicans will have a majority of from four to five members in the State Senate and the Democrats a majority of from five to seven in the Assembly. General Carr will lead his opponent on the Democratic ticket a very close race, but I look for the election of the Democratic ticket. In Truth to-mor-row I call the attention of Mr. Kelly to the fact that it was on the 2d of November, some fifteen years before Christ, that Cataline, the Roman conspirator, undertook to overthrow the state, and I reminded Mr. Hubert O. Thompson that it was on the 6th of November that Falstaff died.”

PENNSYLVANIA. Colonel A. It. McClure Regards the Outcome as Very Uncertain. Philadelphia, Nov. s.—The Times says: “The extreme sluggishness that prevailed in both parties in this State when the Ohio election came to shock the Republicans and to inspire the Democrats, has been materially changed within the last two weeks. The Democrats regarded the State as hopelessly lost and their ticket as leading aforlorn hope until the sweeping Ohio victory gave them courage and animation, and the Republicans confidently expected to carry Pennsylvania by default until the Ohio chill sent them shivering back to their camp fires to counsel about rallying their forces. But for Ohio the vote of Pennsylvania this year would be the lightest cast for years—hardly equaling the one-sided election for State Treasurer in 1879; but Ohio revived the hopes of the Democrats and quickened their organization, and the sudden and unexpected peril forced the Republican leaders to exhaust their machinery and appliances to poll their vote. The new energy infused into our contest by the Ohio election will add fully 50.000 to the aggregate vote to be polled on Tuesday next. “The Republicans have the advantage of the Democrats on State issues, as the extrasession profligacy and disgrace weigh like a millstone upon the Democracy; but the Republicans are facing the chilling Ohio disaster, and the result will depend wholly upon the relative success of the leaders in polling their vote. The nearness of the presidential contest, and the confessed bearing the vote in Pennsylvania must have on the great battle of next year, have helped both sides in rallying their voters; and the verdict of Tuesday will be accepted as deciding w’uethera change of national administration is unerringly demanded by the people, or whether a Democratic President must be elected, if elected at all, on the issues of next year, and with Pennsylvania in the Republican column. VIRGINIA. An Unprecedented Interest shown In ToDay’s Election. Petersburg, Nov. s.—The interest in the election to-morrow is unprecedented throughout the State. Both parties are determined to bring out their full voting strength. A number of leading merchants here have notified the public through the papers that they will keep their places of business closed to-morrow to give employes an opportunity to vote and remain at the polls during the day. Colonel J. I). Brady, chairman of the Republican State committee, claims that the Coalitionists will carry Virginia on a popular vote of 15,000 majority; that they would poll 95 percent, of the colored vote. If the Readjusters stand firm there does not seem to be any doubt of the result. Brady stated further that the Coalitionists will have twenty majority in the House and four in tne Senate. The Military in Control. Danville, Nov. 5. —The city remains under the control of the military, under the direction of the town sergeant. Mayor Johnston

has issued a proclamation. He says all good citizens deprecate the present disturbed condition of the city, and earnestly desire the restoration of peace and good order. He lias appointed special constables for each ward and called into service the Danville Greys as military coadj uSors of this special constabulary. He says, further, that “so complete and reliable is this arrangement for tlie preservation of peace and the protection of the town, that I feel fully warranted in assuring my fellow-citi-zens that peace and good order will he maintained. I therefore call upon the good citizens to resume their usual vocations and cease to appear upon the streets armed with shotguns and other weapons, thus by quiet conduct and conversation, things which make peace, aiding and assisting me and the other authorities of the town in restoring peace and good order.” Fire-Arms Being Purchased. Richmond, Nov. s. —This morning a disturbance took place in Fredericksburg which almost brought about serious trouble. Cantain Morris F~we, a prominent white citizen, while discussing the Danville riot, was overheard by a negro named Street, who denounced the statement about the riot as a “Funder,” meaning a Democratic lie. The negro knocked Rowe down. Rowe succeeded in getting him off and beat him soundly. The affair attracted a large crowd of whites and blacks, and for a time serious trouble was anticipated, but it was prevented. There is feverishness in nearly all of the districts in the State, and fears are entertained that other riots will occur in several places to-morrow. More arms have been sold in the State in the past ten days than ever before in timeof peace, except probably just after the wan Preparing for Fighting. Richmond, Va., Nov. s.—The excitement here the past few days is intense, particularly since the riot in Danville. While a collision between whites and blacks in Richmond is not very likely, yet the feeliug is such that it will require but a slight hostile movement to precipitate a riot Whites are making every preparation. Members ot the First Virginia regiment, under orders from Mayor Carrington, hold themselves in readiness for an emergency, and 150 special police have been sworn in for duty to-morrow. In anticipation of further disturbance in Danville, and upon representations made to him, Governor Cameron this evening issued orders for the Richmond Light Infantry Blues, Captain Andrew I’izzini, and a section of tlie Richmond Howitzers, Captain E. J. Bosher, to proceed to that city. The Richmond military will leave at 11 o’clock to-night, under the command of Colonel H. C. Carter, who, on his arrival in Danville, will assume command of all military there. He will report to the mayor aud town sergeant of Danville. Sympathizing with Danville People. Lynchburg, Va., Nov. s. —An immense meeting to-night passed resolutions offered by General Jubal A. Early, expressing sympathy for the people of Danville, declaring for a “free ballot and fair count” in to-mor-row’s election, and threatening summary vengeance on any man or set of men who undertakes to perpetrate fraud.

POLITICAL NOTES. New Jersey Women Will lie at the Polls in the Temperance Interest. Asbury Park, N. J., Nov. s.—The members of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union have decided to turn out to-morrow and work at the polls in favor of the Prohibitionist ticket. 722 Ballots. Trenton, N. J., Nov. 5. —John Cominode was nominated for the Assembly by the Third district Democratic convention on the 722d ballot, THE GOULD MAUSOLEUM. The Structure to Protect the Body of the Millionaire After Death. New York, Nov. s.—The Gould mausoleum in Woodlawn cemetery is so far on the way to completion that on Thursday last the final roof-slab was set in place. Work on the interior decoration has been begun. The structure is impressive by reason of its simplicity, harmony of design and massiveness. Its form is that of aiT-lbiffd temple, raised on a platform three steps above the level of the sward surrounding it. The workmen say that the foundation of the platform is a mass of concrete that makes it practically a single stone eight feet in thickness by thirty-six or more in length and twenty-eight in width. The structure is wholly of finely hammered Westerly granite, without a single hand or panel or other surface that is polished. Thirty graceful columns, eleven feet high by thirteen inches in diameter, surround the mausoleum and add to the support of its massive roof. Space for twenty bodies is afforded within. In the front of the tomb will be a bronze door of Grecian design, pierced so as to afford a view of the interior. A window representing a choir of angels will occupy the space now left in the rear wall. It is understood that the inner walls will be of delicately shaded marbles arranged so as to present simple and pleasing effects. No brick or metal is employed in the construction of the tomb, excepting the bronze doors and the necessary lead" in the window. It stands in the center of a circular plot of three or four acres on the highest ground in the cemetery, in Lawn avenue, near Central avenue, and is surrounded only by grass, not a single tree or shrub as yet rising on this ground. Mapleson Threatens Cincinnati. New York, Nov. 5. —Colonel Mapleson said to a reporter to-day, concerning the dispatch announcing the engagement of Abbey’s artists for the season of opera in Cincinnati: “1 will give that festival, or else there will be no music in Cincinnati this year. I don’t care whether we go there or not, but, at least, Abbey shall not go in my place.” Marriage Extraordinary. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 5. —Rev. J. G. Pollard, until a few weeks since a presiding elder in the Methodist Church North, in Arkansas, created a sensation to-day by marrying a colored girl named Eliza Millahey. He was divorced from his second wife a month ago. The Cotton Planters' Association. Vicksburg, Nov. 5.—A meeting of citizens was held to-night to provide for the entertainment of delegates to the convention of the National Cotton Planters’ Association. It is stated that upwards of 500 delegates have signified their iateution to be present.

TRICE FIVE CENTS.

ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE. Hundreds in Attendance at the Examination of O. A. Carpenter. Popular Feeling Is Shown by Hissing the Counsel for the Defense and Applauding tlie Prosecution. Little Gained by the Examination of Two New Witnesses. A Father and a Female Companion in tho Northwest Reported to Have Kilted a Ten-Year-Old Boy, CARPENTER’S TRIAL. The Defense Hissed, AYliile the Prosecution Is Applauded. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Lincoln, Nov. s. —After several days’ sparring as to the location of the examination of Carpenter, charged with the murder of Zora Burns, it began at 1:30 r. m. to-day, at the court-house, before Judge Lacy, of Havana, who hears it by special and urgent request of the attorneys of both sides and by the desire of the people, who feel sure that his presence and legal lore will prevent a popular tumult. Judge Lacey arrived at 11 o’clock. At 2 o’clock p. m. the opening statements were made by States’ Attorney Forrest for the prosecution, and by Beach for the defense. They contained very little that was not brought out before the coroner’s jury. At the conclusion of the statement Mrs. Dukes, sister of Zora Burns, was summoned as the first witness for the prosecution. Mrs. Dukes did not testify before the corner’s jury, and, of course, there was intense interest to know whether her testimony would more deeply implicate Carpenter. The only point in the testimony relating to Carpenter, however, was that while her husband was away in lowa, and she was living in Lincoln, Zora was accustomed to spend nights with her, and Carpenter brought her home at night. Nothing further was elicited from her.

Mrs. Carpenter, of Decatur, 111., was the second witness, and related how Zora had come to her house from Lincoln, received letters postmarked Lincoln, and had written letters to Carpenter, one of which she read. It asked Carpenter to come over and have some fun, stating that she had a good boarding place witli a woman that asked no questions, and that she was taking her medicine and was a good girl. After the close of her testimony the court adjourned at 6:30 until 9 a. m. to-morrow. AVilliam Bone, of Bloomington, formerly of Indianapolis, who has been doing amateur detective work on the case, created some sensation by entering the court just as Mrs. Dukes was called, and demanding that certain evidence which he had be presented. He was ruled out, but will undoubtedly be subpeouaed. The city was thronged from early morning. Farmers came in in wagons from all parts of Logan county, though a fearful rain-storin prevailed all day, and the mud was hub-deep. The court room was crowded, and hundreds could not obtain admission. Nevertheless, everything was quiet and orderly all day, ami there was no boisterous nor loud talking whatever. While there is still much division of opinion as to Carpenter’s guilt or innocence among the people, the country folks seem to have settled pretty solidly into the belief that Carpenter is guilty. Carpenter appeared calm and collected, and, while he took a careful interest in the case, would scarcely have been picked out as the one on trial on so grave a charge. An artist obtained a good sketch of Carpenter, which operation seemed quite unpleasant to tlieaccused, who has heretofore steadily refused to give a picture or say where one could be found. To-night there is something oppressive in the air. A great many farmers are still in town to-night. The opinion among them is unanimous against Carpenter. Three men came to the sheriff’s office at 8 r. m., and it is said they hurriedly called him aside and whispered information to him. The sheriff is confident of maintaining order, witli the assistance of company I) of tiie Fifth regiment, which is ready for duty. To-night, it is reported that the miners of the city are laying off from work. There wzs a big demonstration against the defendant in court to-day. The prosecution was cheered repeatedly and the defense hissed on account of tiie feeling against Carpenter. Tiie general opinion is that it is doubtful if Carpenter will escape mob violence before the end of tlie trial. Lincoln, Nov. s.—Later—At 10 o'clock tonight it is reported that a mob is being organized for the purpose of lynching Orrin A. Carpenter. A military company has been ordered to the jail to protect him. A HEARTLESS FATHER Charged with Murdering His Ten-Vear-Old Child. Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 5. —A Princeton dispatch says: Mrs. Ellen Long, a widow, and L. S. Whittemore, father of the boy found in the river with his throat cut, have been arrested for murder. The detectives who took the case had their suspicions turned to Mrs. Long because of the rumors that she once attempted to poison Whittemore's wife and failed. Searching her house, they found bloody clothes which she had been wearing at the time of the murder, and a butcherknife and two razors stained witli blood. In tiie well oil her premises was found a club witli blood marks. Neighbors say that criminal intimacy existed between the widow and Whittemore. The boy was missing ten days,
