INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 21, 1884—TWELVE PAGES.

WHEN INDICATIONS. Saturday. —Generally fair weather, followed by local showers. Used as we are to extraordinarily numerous requisitions upon our different departments when a change of season suddenly creates a general demand for a corresponding change of apparel, we are obliged to admit the popular rush for our thin textures since the advent of the present heated term has been, to put it mildly, beyond all precedent in our experience. The weather is responsible for the demand, and our prices account for the avidity with which these goods are taken by the multitude. Happily, expeditious communication with our Factory enables us to fill up promptly tlie gaps daily made in our stocks by the public, and to offer at all times the most comprehensive assortment in this market.

CURED BY FAITH. Statement of a Young Lady Wlio Had Consumption and Is Now Well. Philadelphia, June 20. —Miss Justitia M. Ashton, the twenty-year-old daughter of a well-to-do lawyer at Norristown, has written a remarkable letter, describing the manner in which she was recently cured of consumption by faith and prayer. The statement is supported by the word of the family physician and the village clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Randall. Miss Ashton writes: “In Feburary, 1884, I was taken ill. My mother called in our family physician, in whom we have implicit trust. He several times mentioned a cavity in the left lung, and said: If it would only heal.’ My sister, who, for several years lias made the subject of ‘the healing power’ a study in the family said to me: ‘lf you need healing you have only to ask the Lord for it, and he will give it to you.’ The 13th of May I was more ill than I had been through all my previous sickness: the pain was severe. The 22d Mr. Randall called to see me and urged me to a deeper reliance on and faith in Christ. While he was praying there came to me a feeling of assurance that the Lord was present and that I was being healed, and I said so. The following afternoon the doctor came and said I looked better. When he had examined my lungs he looked at me a moment, then examined them again and said, ‘You are well. ’ From that time i discontinued my cough mixture, and have now ceased to tako any medicine, and am well for the first time in years. *

GENERAL POLITICAL NEWS. Ex-Senator Hendricks Disposes of a Hatch of Newspaper Rumors. He Emphatically Declares that ne Does Not Want and Will Not Accept a Nomination for Governor. A Tammany Man’s Reasons for Saying Cleveland Cannot He Nominated. The Bolting Republicans Adopt a Name and Issue a Circular—Movements of the Republican Notification Committee. EX-SENATOB HENDRICKS. He Does Not Desire and Will Not Accept a Nomination for Governor. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 20.—Great interest has been manifested here to-day in the question whether Mr. Hendricks will consent to accept a nomination for Governor. Both evening papers presented paragraphs saying Mr. Hendricks sent a private dispatch here this afternoon, saying that while he did not want the nomination, and his wife was much opposed to it, he could not refuse it if the party thought it material that he should take the race. IA Journal reporter last night called at the residence of Mr. Hendricks to learn if he had sent any such dispatch as indicated above, and the ex-Governor said positively that he had not. When asked if he would accept the Democratic nomination for Governor, he replied that the matter had been settled; he did not desire the nomination, and would not accept it. ] Mr. Lamb’s Little Boom. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Terre Haute, June 20.—Some of Congressman Lamb’s nearest friends have to-day started ahoomforhim’for Lieutenant-governor, coupling his name with that of Mr. Hendricks for Governor. Mr. Lamb will reach here to-morrow, and a consultation will be held upon the subject. CLEVELAND’S CHANCES. A Tammany Man Declares tlie New Yorker Cannot Be Nominated. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 20.—“Clevelandis defeated as sure as there was a suDset this evening,’’ said Thomas Coakley, a Tammany Democrat, in conversation with your correspondent to-night. “Cleveland cannot he nominated.” he continued, “because it is well known that he could not cany the State of New York, and because he is opposed by John Kelly. Some New York members of Congress were to-day counting Cleveland’s strength at present in York delegation, and they figured him twenty-one out of seventysix votes.” “Who will Tammany favor?” I asked. “Probably Bayard. There is a disposition, however, to let the first place on the ticket go to the “ est. McDonald has grown in New York since the Saratoga convention, and will get votes from the delegation. Os course, if Cleveland’s friends take it into their heads to antagonize Tammany they will refuse to support Bayard in any event, and naturally go West with thenvotes. If ‘Old Saddlebags’ has the sagacity he should have, he will secure the nomination, for his way was never so clear as now.” THE INDEPENDENTS. The Bolters Agree I’pon a Name and Send Forth a Circular. New York, June 20.—The independent Republican organization committee appointed yesterday by George William Curtis, met to-day and clioso Mr. Curtis, chairman. It was decided to name the committee the independent Republican committee. The following document was approved, and will he circulated throughout the country for signatures: The undersigned, protesting against the nomination of Mr. Blaine and Mr. Logan, propose to join their fellow-Repnblicans ami independent voters in sending representatives to a general conference, to be held immediately after the Democratic national convention, which conference shall consider, in case the Democratic nominations do not justify the support of protesting Republicans, what further action may be necessary to secure candidates who will appeal to the interests of clean and honest politics and the sober, honest sense of the American people. SPEAKER CARLISLE. He Says He Will Not Go to Chicago, and His Friends Say He Must. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 20.—Speaker Carlisle says he will not attend the Chicago convention. If Congress adjourns by July 3 he thinks it will not be convenient for him to hurry away. It has been understood heretofore that he would go to Chicago and work for tlie success of ex-Senator McDonald, and his friends say he will go; that they will not take no for an answer. So it is not improbable that the Speaker will be in the convention. It will be remembered that exSonator McDonald came here at an opportune hour and lent his counsel and influence to Mr. Carlisle for the speakership. It is understood that a majority of the Kentucky delegation will vote for McDonald, whose friends say if tho Speaker will engage in the canvass the delegation will vote as a unit. He is demanded and may go against his wishes. RICHARD T. GREENER. An Eminent Colored Orator Wlio Will He Heard in Indiana. Special to the Indianapolis Journal, Washington, Juno 20.—Among the speakers announced to address the ratification meeting last night was Richard T. Greener LL. D. Prof. Greener did not appear, however, being engaged in campaign work in South Carolina. He will speak in Indiana during tho campaign, and will support tho Republican gubernatorial nominee. Greener is, perhaps, the most soughtafter colored man for campaign work in America, and the State securing his services is fortunate. Greener was the. firet colored man in America to graduate from Harvard University, and since his entry into public life he has always been identified with the foremost in the ranks of the Republicans. As an orator he is unexcelled by any man of his race. He is clear and forcible, and has the faculty of holding his audience to the end. Without tho mannerisms so common in colorod speakers, Greener possesses the eloquence of Douglass and the address of that phenomenal congressman from

Massachusetts, ex-Governor Long. He is not only learned in the classics, but is a great reader, and is thoroughly posted on all tho public questions of the day, and is a formidable opponent in debate upon questions of public policy. Two years ago he spoke in Ohio during the congressional campaign, and notwithstanding the defeat of so many Republicans that year, every candidate, for whom he took up the cudgel, was elected. He will spend several weeks in Indiana in the interest of Mr. Calkins. THE NOTIFICATION COMMITTEE. Mr. Blaine To Be Officially Notified of His Nomination To-Day. Aou-ta, Me., June 20.—The special train bearing tne committee appointed by the Chicago convention to notify Mr. Blaine of his nomination, arrived at Augusta a few minutes before 10 o'clock to-night Upon reaching the city the members of the committee entered carriages and were driven to the Augusta House, where they will spend the night. When Portsmouth was reached there was a large crowd at the depot, and three cheers were given. The crowd clamored for a speech, and Mr. Lynch, of Mississippi, went out upon the rear platform and made a few remarks. Ex-Sen-ator Rollins, of New Hampshire, and Judge Foraker, of Ohio, were each called upon for a speech, and each responded in turn. At other stations along the route tlrere were large numbers to greet the train, particularly in Portland, but, owing to the short stops, there was no time for further speech-making. Among the invited guests accompanying the committee were Mrs. Chauncey I. Filley and Mrs. D. H. Hill, wives of members of the committee, and Mr. and Mrs. C. L. McArthur, of New York. William Walter Phelps is not with the committee, owing, it is said, to the fact that his presence in Congress at this time was essential to the proper care of certain local bills under his guardianship. The committee will make the official notification to Mr. Blaine to-morrow. Mr. Blaine has accepted the invitation to he E resent at the commencement of Bates College, est is ton, on Tuesday next. The committee will leave for Portland tomorrow afternoon, where, in the evening, they will bo tendered a reception, at which addresses will be made by Messrs. Henderson, Foraker, Lynch, Goodioe, Filley and others. POLITICAL NOTES. Rumors as to the Organization of the Republican National Committee. New York, June 20.—Developments indicate that Stephen B. Elkins, who is on a visit to Mr. Blaine, at Augusta, has carried his point in reference to the chairmanship of the national committee, and induced the candidates to ask exSenator J. B. Chaffee, of Colorado, to accept that position. Elkins has all along insisted that he did not wish the place, and lias urged that Chaffee be selected. Garrett A. Hobart, of New Jersey, will probably be secretary. Press Arrangements at Chicago. Chicago, June 20.—The committee on press and telegraph of tho national Democratic, convention make the following announcement: “A limited space will be provided near the officers’ platform for the principal papers of the country, with convenient desks for reporting the proceedings; the Associated Press reporters will have ample opportunity for reporting full proceedings for the benefit of its members throughout the country.” American Prohibition Party. Chicago, June 20.—The American Prohibition convention to day nominated S. C. Pomeroy, of Kansas, for President., and J. A. Conant, of Connecticut, for Vice-president. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The boiler at Fields & Co.’s brick yard, at Albany, Ga., exploded yesterday, killiug four negroes. James Cook, a colored man, living at Bellaire, 0., was drowned, yesterday morning, in the river, seven miles below Wheeling, W. Va. Rev. George T. Gonuld, of Paris, Ky., president of Millersburg Female College, has assigned. Liabilities unknown; assets $13,000. The Albany, N. Y., Presbytery has deposed Rev. W. F. Vedder from the ministry. He is serving imprisonment for criminal malpractice. Lieutenant John F. Lewis, of Harrisonburg, Va., while on his way home, was thrown from his sulky and probably fatally injured. He is sixty-six years of age. At New York, last night. Maria Williams, colored, was shot dead by Regala Komei'o Shakown, a Cuban cigar dealer. The shooting was done in an apartment house, where the woman occupied at a flat with her husband. Shakown went to Williams's apartment and asked to see the couple. When they came out lie fired three shots, one of which struck Airs Williams in tho heart. She dropped (lead. Shakown escaped. A Growl from Mormoiuloin, Salt Lake, June 20.—The Mormon press and prominent Mormons consider the House bill just passed by the Senate as a cruel measure, harsh, unjust, tyrannical, and in some respect revolutionary and unconstitutional, and designed to rekindle tho fires of persecution. Many of its provisions, they think, will not stand the test of judicial examination, and were evidently framed with a design to destroy tho Mormon religion. They assert that circumstances here do not call for any such enactments, and that the existing public opinion which prompted Senators to vote for this measure has been created by the persistent circulation of false reports concerning affairs here. Canada Reaching Out for the Cattle Trade. Ottawa, June 20.—0n behalf of the cattle ranchers of Montana, tho Canadian Pacific rail way authorities have represented to the Minister of Customs the propriety of allowing cattle from the Western States to be carried through Canadian territory in bond for export. Tho Montana ranchers propose entering stock at Fort Walsh, and driving them to tho Canadian Pacific railway for shipment. The effect will bo to make Montreal the cattle market of Montana and other Western States. The minister has agreed to a relaxation of customs regulations, so as to bring this trade to Canadian ports. Shot Dead by His Brother. Galveston, Juno 20.—Samuel League, aged thirteen, was shot and killed by his brother, Clinton, this, evening, while playing on tho grounds of tho family mansion. The boys aro sons of Jefferson League, deceased, once a prominent citizen and lawyer "of Galveston. The League family is one of tho most influential and wealthy in Texas.

Helena, Mont., June 20.—John Edwards, a brakemau on the Utah & Northern train, carrying Cole’s circus, was shot through the heart while the train was leaving Deer Lodge, yesterday.

NATIONAL CAPITAL TOPICS. Termination of the Inquiry in the Case Against William 11. English. A Majority of tlie Committee M ill Report that. He Violated the Rules, but Was Not Guilty of Corrupt Practices. Expectation that the Pension List Will in .Some Shape lie Increased. Mr. Ker Continues His Testimony and Contradicts Mr. Bliss on Many Points, Raising a Question of Veracity. THE ENGLISH INVESTIGATION. Close of the Inquiry—Two Reports To Be Presented. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 20.—The English investigation closed to dky, after Mr. Holman had testified that he invited the senior English to avail himself of the priveleges of the floor, and Speaker Carlisle stated that he told Mr. English that the rule excluding ex-members applied only to thoee who had a pecuniary interest in measures pending before the House. Although tho evidence has proven conclusively that Mr. English, by his conduct in his son's contest case, violated the rules and forfeited his right of admission to the floor, the Democratic members of the committee intended reporting that, while Mr. English exercised his personal influence with members in behalf of his son, the investigation did not prove that he exercised any undue or corrupt influence, and that ho therefore has not violated the rules in question. This is, as anticipated, a comeplete whitewashing affair. Mr. Millard, the Republican member of the committee, will submit a minority report taking an exactly opposite view. It is believed the House will adopt the majority report by a party vote. The rule which Mr. English is charged with violating forbids ex-members working in the interest of or against any measure pending in the House. They may work all they wish to outside of the House, but they must not go upon the floor by the grace of the courtesies granted them and importune sitting members. Mr. English not only acknowledged to having spoken to members in the interest of the caso affecting his son, but he said he did so often. To Mr. Converse, of Ohio, who had charge of the case, he said he spoke probably fifty times, and declared it was an outrage to deprive his son of the seat. A lively fight will be made upon the reports that will be made, if they are, indeed, even called up, which is not likely. The manner in which this investigation has been conducted proves conclusively that the Democrats will recognize no breach of trust in their party, although the guilt of the accused was proven by the defendant himself. The Proceedings In Detail. To the Western Associated Press. Washington, June 20.—During tho English investigation, to day, Speaker Carlisle was ex amined, and said Mr. English came to his room while his son's contested election case was before the House, and said he understood some members had, or intended to, object to his being on the floor during the contest, and asked him if his being there was a violation of the rules. Mr. English said he had no pecuniary interest in the matter, but only a personal and political interest in his son. He told him the rule excluding ex-members applied only to persons who had pecuniary interest in measures before Congress. * Mr. English also said he only intended making a fair statement of his son's case, and the witness thought lie haa a right to do that. In answer to Mr. English, Mr. Carlisle said tho former, immediately on entering into conversation, said ho did not intend going on the floor if he (the Speaker) thought his going there a violation of the rules. Mr. Weller again took the witness-chair, and said, with emphasis: "J wish to put on record my denial that I was influenced to leave the House by anything except a telegram from my daughter.” This closed tho case so far as the evidence was concerned, and the committee adjourned. ADJOURNMENT AND PENSIONS. The Former May Be Reached by July 3—lncreasing Pension Expenditures. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 20.—'*What prospect is there that Congress will adjourn before tho Chicago convention No. 21” was asked a Democratic member of the ways and means committee to day. “It is hard to say,” was the reply; “at the rate we are now progressing I see no possible chance that business can be so arranged as to make adjournment possible for a month at least. The two houses are at loggerheads over some important questions relating to the .appropriation bills. Still, if the differences can be adjusted, wo can adjourn by July 3.” •‘Do you anticipate that any other mcasuros of national importance will be passed by the House before adjournment?” “Yes; I believe that a bill will bo got through that will increase the pension list to a considerable extent. I believe that a bill extending tho time of filing application for back pay, or one grunting a pension to each and every soldier who fought in the Union army, and is now disabled from any cause, provided he is dependent upon his own labor for support, will be agreed upon and passed.” This statement gives the key-note to tlie action of Congress in relation to pension matters. For the sake of capturing a few thousand soldier votes Congress is willing to give away hundreds of millions of dollars to persons who don't ask for it. The bills which have received favorable reports from committees will, if they become laws, increase the annual expenditure, on account of pensions, to such an enormous extent as to create alarm among political economists. The military pension list of the United States, already the largest of any country on earth, bids fair to become greater than all the pension lists of all the civilized nations on earth combined. Few persons can be found unwilling to provide for those who fought and bled for the preservation of the nation in its hour of peril. But that tho wire-pulling of politicians should be allowed to proceed so far in tho attempt to secure votes as to threaten serious results to our financial system is outside the desire of the best friend the soldier has. Be-
