I> DIANA. The Smith Outrage at Rising Sun—A Mob Organizing. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Rrsrxo Sun, April 7.—There is considerable excitement here this afternoon over the fact that the grand jury has been recalled and instructions given it to fully Investigate, the outrage upon Mr. John Smith- Mr. Smith's wounds are much deeper than at first supposed. His physicians have now given up all hope of his recovery and his death may be looked fur any hour. He was horribly burned in many places about the body, and as he was hanging when his clothes were burned off him, his face was horribly burned and every particle of his hair and eyebrows and lashes. It is understood here that there is a regular organized hand of sturdy farmers in Mr. Smith’s neighborhood who, as soon as it ia proved certainly that the men in jail are the ouesqwho did the. crime will come to town and take the rascals out and hang them. Tire St. Paul Tragedy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Siielbyville. April B.— The killing of John Taylor Trimble at St. Paul, last night, by his father-in-law, Benjamin Jenkins, a druggist and prominent Democratic politician, has been the subject of much discussion to-day. The facts which brought about the trouhlo and the particulars of the killing are as follows, as learned by your correspondent, who was in St. Paul to-day: Twelve years ago the deceased married Miss Hessie Jenkins. The marriage was strongly opposed by Mr. Jenkins, but his opposition was fruitless, and the only effect of it was to incur the hatred of Trimble In this twelve years four children have been, bom to them. On many occasions Trimble has made threats that ho intended to kill Mr. Jenkins, and often when Jenkins would pass him on the street Trimble’s hatred would give vent to curses and abuse. Being members of opposite parties, this also tended to increase the enmity that existed. At noon yesterday Trimble met Jenkins at the postofike, and called him a “d—d dirty son of ab—h.” To this Jenkins paid no attention. About 8 o’clock in the evening Jenkins went to the depot to send a telegram, and, on returning, passed Dr. Howard, State senator, Taylor Trimble and two other men standing talking near the depot. As he passed, Trimble Sitid, “There goes a- ———r— —, !” Jenkins stopped, turned around and asked him if lie meant those remarks for him. Trimble replied that he did, and repeated them. Jenkins called him a liar, and at this point Senator Howard stepped in front of Trimble and attempted to remonstrate with him. Trimble drew his revolver, swung it around tho Senator, aaid tired twice. Jenkins backed away toward the west, followed by Trimble, both men having then' revolvers drawn and pointed. Trimble was advancing when Jenkins fired two shots, one ball entering Trimble’s heart, killing him instantly. Jenkins took deliberate aim. fully realizing that either he or Trimble must forfeit their life. Warren Jenkins, a son of Benj. Jenkins, carried the sad news to his sister, Mrs. Trimble, and the agony of this daughter and wife is indescribable. Jenkins came to this city, gave himself rrp and was released on a $3,000 band. Tho evidence before the coroner to-day showed that Jenkins acted in self-defense.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal, New Castle, April B.—As a result of the bordei>rtiffian class of reading indulged mby hoys, a band of four plotted a rough-and-ready dead-beat trip to Florida, but only two mail© the start. One weakened and the, father of the fourth intercepted a letter from a confederate, tolling his boy to pillago the house, hike his father's money and turn things over so tliat the “‘old man" would think burglars had ‘“done” the residence. That boy did uot go. Thq two who .started had dirks made from stolen table knrves, and ono revolver. The sight of this weapon qaused the conductor of the train to suspect Something wrong, and he kindly dropped the hoys at a station not so far away as to prevent their sleeping at home on their first night's Jqnrpey. _ Stable and Valuable Horse Burned. Special to the Judianapeli* Journal. Muncie, April 8. —At, an eaj'ly hour this morn* the fine, large frame bam of O. H. Kurus, eight miles north of this city, was noticed in flames. As soon as discovered Mr. Karns ran to the barn to release a valuable stallion, stabled ■within. Ho found the door nailed so that it could not be opened. This horse, for which he had’ lately paid $2,400, with eight others, was burned to death. Several tons-of hay, a large quantity of corn and wheat, besides wagons, buggies, and a due lot of farm implements, were also consumed, It is a. clear case of incendiarb?Wif the general opinion being that the bam was set on fire by some ono intent on burning the horse.

Michigan City, April B.—The of, John Debra, Democratic candidate for trustee at Michigan City, was followed by a riot. A number of enthusiastic Democrats, flushed with victory, came out of a saloon where they had been drinking and attacked two or three Republicans who were passing by. The attacking parly was composed of prison guards, and foremen and employes at the prison workshops. Those nvon havo, long been a disturbing element in the city, being turbulent and quarrelsome. A great many citizens, therefore, rushed to the aid

of the smaller party. Two of the citizens who had been roughly handled by the xnob had been hurried off to jail by Democratic officials, insult being thus added to injury. The prison bummers were armed, but their weapons were taken from them before they had an opportunity to use them. The mayor finally came and induced the crowd to disperse, nevertheless the city was filled with tumult for the entire night. The presence of the State prison is a contiuual menace to order and good government here, not because of the prisoners, but the guards and others—Democratic thugs, who, for party service. are given places for which they are notoriously unqualified. lH%eiliiig-Hou*c Burned. Special to the I mlinuapolia Journal. New Castle, April 8. —A dwelling-house in Mount Summit, six miles north of New Castle, was- destroyed by fire yesterday, the flames communicating from a shed in which the occupants of the building were smoking moat.

On Sunday evening the two-year-old child of Mrs. Mary Faucett* who lives at the. St. Clair House, died suddenly. An inquest developed the fact that the child had died of an overdose of morphine. The child was threatened with measles, and Dr. George Kilner had prescribed for it The mother testified that she gave the medicine, as she thought, according to directions. Dr. Moorehead, the county physician, examined the medieine, and found that it consisted of six parts, one of which was morphine. l>r. Kiluer’s directions were to take a teaspoonful of the mix ture, put it in a teacupful of warm water, and give tne child a teaspoonful every two hours. Instead of this, tho mother put in two teaspoonfuls. Dr. Kilner was greatly oppressed by the thought that he had given the prescription that had caused the child’s death, and feared ho would bo blamed. About 3 o'clock on Monday afternoon he went to his room, locked the door, and took a suicidal dose of morphine. At suppertime Mrs. Anna Bishop, who keeps a restaurant at Na 035 Mam street, fearing he would do something rash, went to his room, accompanied by her sister am! her son, "Willie Knapp. The door was locked, and the boy climbed over the transom, to find the Doctor lying on the bed uncon seious. Physicians came, but all attempts to revive him failed, and he died this morning at 2 o'clock. Dr. Kilner came here about two and a half years ago from Sullivan, 111. He is about sixty-five years old, and is a large man, of fine appearance. He has two sons, one residing at Springfield, 111., who has been telegraphed. The other lives at Robinson, 111, but is insane.

As the fast mail tmin. on Sunday morning, bound from Chicago to New York, was coming into Warren station, seven miles west of South Bend, a man stepped out of the car and took a position on the platform. In a few minutes it is thought he was attacked with a spasm and pitched headlong from the train, which was running at the rate of forty miles an your. He struck on the back of his head, and must have been instantly killed. The authorities have had his features with the hope of being able to ascertain the man's identity.

Baker, learning Lenn was in Newburg, went there on Monday to see him and find why he had made so serious a charge against him’ Lenn, seeing Baker approaching on the street, drew a revolver and leveled at him. Win. Purdue, passing at the time, called to Lenn, “don't shoot,” when ho turned and fired at Perdue, the ball going through his wrist and lodging in his Sreast. He then fired at Baker, shooting the latter through the bowels. Baker will die. ILLINOIS. A Mob Visits and Demolishes a Disreputable House, Special to tlie Indianapolis Journal.

The mob wa&to make the attack at 10 o'clock- Just before that hour the police raided the premises and pulled. the Ilona©, capturing its inmates, who are prosti tutes,|thieve.s and shelterers of criminals. It was at this house that Patsy Devine and Harry Williams lodged before the murder of Goodfellow, for which Devine was hanged at Clinton. | After the police had departed the mob gutted the house, knocking out the windows, smashing the chimneys, ripping off the siding and smashing the furniture.

Chicago, April B.— Miss Anna Schock, arrested two moths ago at the instance of the Humane Society, is on trial in the Criminal Court for alleged cruelty to children under her charge in a “Home” at Lagrange, near this city. The inmates numbered about twenty, and ranged from six to fourteen years of age. A number were left at tho “home by indigent parents, and the remainder were orphans. The *•80010'’ was supported largely by public subscription. The prosecution offered the testimony of the attending |>hysician and former employes, which tended to show that the children were almost totally uncared for: that the “home” was liorri bly filthy, and the. basement, where tho children were compelled to pass tho greater portion of tho day, was also used as a stable for a cow. One witness declared that the usual diet for the children was mush and potatoes, and that their beds were soiled, and wet. Tt was contended by other witnesses that the health of some of the children has been utterly broken while inmates of the place.

Settling the “Old Feud” in Kansas. Junction City. Kan., April B. —Yesterday noon, as Tim O'Conuer and his brother Mike were driving along a road on Dry creek, twelve miles from here, they were warned by Ernest Allen and others not to cross a certain piece of land belonging to a school district Not heeding the warning, an attempt was made to stop them, which did not succeed, and they passed on. When returning, later in the day, tho O Gonners found a wire stretched across the school district land to prevent their passage, and five men, two named Allen and three named Breen, stationed there with shotguns and revolvers. Mike O’Conner cut the wire, when Ernest Allen shot and killed Tim O’Conner. 3iike then rushed at one of the Breens with an ax and chopped his head, inflicting mortal wounds. The party then elosed in on Mike and broke a shotgun over His head, disabling him. All the parties were arrested and placed in prison. The af fair grew out of an old feud between the Breens ami O'Conners. The Tail of the Sacred Elephant. Brooklyn Eagle. One gets to be quite a connoisseur in elephants after seeing Barnum's herds for three or four years, ami so the true beauty of the sacred elephant is likely to be appreciated. Ho is round and chunky, and has a large, mild and intelli gent eye. His skin is smooth, and not furrowed like that of ordinary elephant, and he has a long tail with tutted hail’ on the end. This last bit of information about the tail ought to send a majestie wave of jov over the fUee erf the American continent. No one can fail to have noticed tho utter inadequacy and ridiculously abbreviated proportions of the average elephant’s tail. It has always been more or less shocking to any one with love for things symmetrical to observe a seventeen ton elephant laboriously whisking a tliirteen-omice tail. That is whv the sacred elephant gives one a sense of complete satisfaction. Tho Wreck of the Steinmann. Halifax. April B.—Three wrecking schoouors me taking out the cargo of tho wrecked steamer Steinmann. The divers report the steamer upright and the deck houses in place, but the hull shows signs of going to pieces. The divers have not yet entered the cabin, and no bodies liavo yet been, seen in the vessel. It is the opinion of many acquainted with the coast that most of the bodies outside the vessel would be carried to sea by the under- tew. The surviving passengers leave to morrow for New York. The opinion of sea faring men acquainted with tho approach to the harbor is unfavorable to the commander of the Steinmann ns regards the working of tho ship ou the night of the disaster. lWtttriet Judge Brewer.

TKOCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. TIIL SEN AT K. Discussion of tire Naval Bill—Talk About Guns aiul War Ships. Washington, April B.—Bills wore introduced and referred, as follows: By Mr. Hill: For deposit in the treasury of receipts of the money-order system, and for payment of its expenses out of appropriations. By Mr. Bowen: To provide for the establish meat of terms of courts in tho district of < ’ol orado. The following bills were passed: To authorize the construction of a bridge over the Rio Grande, between Eagle Pass, Texas, ami Piedras Negras, Mexico: and a bridge over the same river, between Laredo, Tex., and New Laredo, Mexico. The Chair laid before the Senate the bill to proride for a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout tho United States. Mr. Hale stated that Mr. Hoar, who introduced the bill, did not wish to press it at this time, and he (Mr. Hale) would therefore move to take up instead the naval appropriation bill. Mr. Plumb and Mr. Miller, of New York, thought the pleuro pneumonia bill entitled to precedence over the bankruptcy bill. Mr. Hoar yielded to Mr. Hale in order to allow the naval bill to be taken up. Mr. Hale then changed his motion, and asked unanimous consent to take up the naval appropriation fill. Mr. Heck objected. He preferred that a vote be taken. The vote would bring the naval bill up of right, and would not leave the bankruptcy bill pending as unfinished business. Mr. Hoar characterized the objection as an •outrageous and tyrannical perversion of the courtesies of tho Senate.’ 1 Mr. Beck retorted tJiat the language of the senator from Massachusetts was wholly un worthy any hut him. The Senate agreed to take up the bill. Many of the amendments proposed by the Senate Committee were agreed to. On reaching the provisions relating to ordnance. Mr. Morgan inquired what was being done in the way of manufacturing modern guns, and spoke at some length of the defenseless condition of our sea coast. Mr. Hale said the easy, happy-go lucky way in which wo have been going along in regard to our national defenses ought to cease. Mr. Bayard said that from the appropriations for ordnance, contained in the bill under consideration, one would suppose we were legislating for the Kingdom of Lilliput, rather than a great nation like the United States. China, he said, was buying 900 guns, each one of which would cost as much as the whole appropriation for ordnance in this bill. lie would favor the purchase by the government, of large steam hammer and the establishment of a foundry, which would leave the government in a position not to be entirely at the mercy of private enterprises. Mr. Hate gave notice of an amendment, to be hereafter moved, appropriating $850,000 for the purchase and erection of a plant foi* casting, forging, rough boring and tempering guns up to 100 tons, ready for delivery at gun factories, including the cost of the process of liquid compression, if adopted; also. $900,000 for a plant tor a gun factory for building guns from sixinch to sixteen-inch caliber, including buildings and a shrinkage pot. Mr. Vest said we liad,lo, ooo miles Os sea coast and $1,500.000,000 annual commerce, which was rapidly increasing, and our resources and capabilities almost beggared description; yet wo were without a navy' or a commercial inurite-, and our sea coasts were utterly defenseless. Ytet, since 1861, $385,000,000 had been appropriated by Congress for naval purposes. Italy', the land of maccaroui and lazzaroni, had the largest war-ship and the largest gun on the ocean, while this great nation had cockle-shells and naval pleasure boats, and no guns that amounted to anything; yet, we were called upon to expend more money to be paid to the same contractor [John Roachf, who was now building for the United States vessels which high authorities pronounced defective. Mr. Vest was not willing to give money to tho present Secretary of tho Navy, to ho by him handed over to John Roach, for whom, according to a statement made on the floor of the Senate, the Secretary had at one time been a paid lobbyist. Mr. Vest proceeded to speak on the merchant marine, the decay of which, he said, was due to a policy which sustained such men as John Roaen. No other civilized nation existed to-day that had not abandoned that policy. Before Mr. Vest concluded his remarks, the Senate went into executive session, and soon after adjourned.

THE HOUSE. Qualifications of Governors of Territories— Definition of “Carpet-Bagger.” Washington, April B. —The House went into committee of the whole, Mr. Blackburn in the chair, on bills relating . > the Territories. The first bill taken up wag one to authorize the appointment of a commission by the President to run and mark the boundary lines between a portion of the Indian Territory and the State of Texas, in connection with a similar commission to he appointed by tho State of Texas. After debate, the committee rose and tho bill was passed—Yeas 138, nays 67. The next bill passed was oue declaring that the Supreme Court of every Territory shall consist of a chief justice and three associate justices. providing that every Territory shall be divided into four judicial districts, and a district court shall be held in each by one of the justices of the Supreme Court. A bill requiring a Governor of a Territory to be a resident of the Territory to which lie is ap pointed at least two years, preceding his appointment was opposed by Mr. Kasson, on the ground that it changed the plan by which the United States held control of tjie Territories. 3lr. Maginnis strongly advocated the passage of tho bill. Mr. Eaton raised the constitutional objection, that the bill would limit tho right of the President's appointment. Mr. Brents, of Washington Territory, pointed out the inconsistency of allowing Rhode Island to elect its Governor and of donyingto tlie Territories —some of them with four times the popu-lation—-the poor privilege of having their executive appointed from among their own citizens. Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, made a constitutional argument in support of tho bill, and sarcastically expressed his joy that tho gentle men on the Republican side [alluding to Mr. Hiscock and others] had at length come to recoguize the fact tliat that “obsolete instrument,” the Constitution, still somewhat restricts the powers of Congress: but admitted his joy was shadowed when he discovered the constitutional point was raised on the wrong bill. Advocating the measure on its merits, he regretted that ho did not have time to pay his respects to the car-pet-baggers. Mr. Brown, of Pennsylvania, objected to the term “carpet-bagger,'’ and said ho would be sorry to apply that term to the gentleman from SoutFi Carolina, if, in the course of events, he should ever be appointed Governor of a. Territory. Mr. Tillman explained what the Southern peo- : pie meant by “earpot-baggersU’ They meant a stranger who came among them to get office, and nothing but office; who prostituted liis office for private gain, and who, when he could no longer rob and oppress them, gathered up his carpetbag and went his way. Anybody who camo in as kith and kin of the people, aud to take part and parcel with them, was not a carpet-bagger, and would be welcome. Mr. Hart moved to recommit the bill, with instructions, to the committee on Territories, to except from its provisions the Territory of Utah. “There are just as good gentiles in Utah as out of it,” suggested Mr. Maginnis, in opposition to the measure, The motion was lost —yeas 72, nays 128—and the bill passed. Mr. White, of Kentucky, moved to nrneud tho title, and launched into a constitutional discussion of the bill, when ln> was called; tx> order by Mr Budd for not confining his remarks to the amendment. “Oil,” said Mr. White, “you are not posting bills; you arc a young member, and don’t know the rules.” Mr. Rudd*—E may be young, but lam not going to have.my brains kicked out bv a mule. Mr. White—Of course not; you would have to kick yourself in that ease. Air.' liudd—You have none to kick out. luu

derstand my place better than the gentleman ever will. Mr. White then continued his speech, amid many int-rruptigi sand much merriment. o-'*a sioned by the derogatory' mnniuT in whi< h lie referred to his interrupt - rs as * young nun.’* At the conclusion of Mr. White's spetxh the amendment whs lost. Adjourned. M. NEWMAN S CIUKCII. The Pastor’s Resignation Unanimously Rejected—A Ludicrous Scene at the Close. New York, April B. Rev. J. P. Newman tonight sent in his resignation as pastor of Madi son-avenue Congregational ChurelL The doeu merit was read to the meeting by the superintendent of the Sunday-school. The resignation hikes effect on May 1. Dr. Newman gives as hie reasons for resigning the following: First—While it is true that my friends represent so largely the piety, social influence and material wealth of the church, vet no guarantee has been offered them, or to me that tlie discreditable affair which now disturbs the church may' not reoccur at any moment, and from the same source, whether the pastor is installed or not,. Second—While forgiveness is ourbminden duty, yet couthlrnco iti tiro |nety anti honor <>f those who have molested the church we love is the work of both grace ;uid time. ~ Third—And while no satisfactory cause has been yet assigned to justify the ini rrnjitinn of that harmony which so long existed among us. yet it is to be feared that those disaffected brethren have inflicted upon ibis church an injury from which it eaunot easily recover. In offering my resignation,. let me thank you. my friends, from a heart full of love and gratitude, for your devotion t*> (’hrrst. your zeal for the church, ami your friendship for me. Yours in Christ. J. I’. Newman. At the conclusion of the reading, the chairman asked those in favor of accepting the resignation to rise. Not a person moved. When he called for the negative, every one in the building instantly rose, and the vote in favor of declining to accept tlie resignation was declared unanimous. The tellers announced that 333 persons had voted, and an adjournment was immediately taken. At this moment Dr. Newman entered the church. He was loudly applauded, and asked to say a few words. lie responded briefly', stating that he had offered, liis resignation in profound sincerity, as he thought the interests of the church demanded it, although liis friends protested against it. As they had refused to accept it, he would devote his talents henceforth to tho eternal well fare of those who had stood so firmly by the church and by him. He forgave all Ins opponents and asked his friends to do the same. After his address lie pronounced the benediction, and the people dispersed. The Rannoyitcs claim the meeting had no legal standing, and intimate that the action it took will only be another argument in their favor when the case comes into court! While there was not one vote in favor of accepting the resignation of Dr. Newman, it may be stated that as soon as the meeting got to what is termed “new business,” Deacon H. M. Cummings, who represented tin* Raimey (anti-Newman) party, rose in his seat, near the pulpit, and read a protest, in which it was claimed the present assemblage was not a. meeting of members of tho society', but was expressly called as a mixed meeting ot church members and pew-holders; thateouirsel had advised that a separate meeting of the society be held; that the law contemplated no such thing as a joint meeting, and, therefore, the present, meeting had no authority to take action in respect to affairs of tlie chpreh and society. Further ground for protest was that the meeting had not been regularly or legally called, sufficient notice not having been given. The protest was signed by J. W. Ranney, M. D., and allies in behalf of 187 brother members of the church, and by the church clerk. The protest was promptly tabled, as were others offered bv Belden Rogers and Peter DeWitt. The last named called upon all who were opposed to Dr. Newman to leave the church. He started down the aisle, followed by four others. On reaching the door lie turned and shouted out. “I thought this was a Christian assemblage, but I find it is a nest of vipers.” This outbreak was greeted with shouts and derisive) laughter from the pews, the ladies being especially demonstrative, and ejaculating “Pray for him.”

He testified concerning a personal difficulty in Hazlehurst. He sup ported Matthews for sheriff.
