INDIANA. The Friends Yearly Meeting—lnteresting Reports of Foreign Missions, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Richmond, Oct 6.— The yearly meeting resumed business at 10 o’clock this morning, bestowing its attention first on the annual report of the committee on foreign missions. The most important of the society's foreign missions is the Mexican. It has been abundantly energetic and fruitful during the year, haring conducted schools, printed and distributed tracts, and attendod and aided the poor. In some of its departments, however, it has needed more monev, and there has been a scarcity of teachers. The receipts of the mission during the year were $3,225, but its expenditures were $5,680. and it now rests under an indebtedness of $324. The meeting warmly approved of the report, appointed anew commitee, and appropriated SI,OOO for its use. A committee, appointed a year ago, to consider the advisability of changing the time of holding yearly meeting, reported against change. The alumni of Eavlham College were authorized to nominate two of their number for appointment. by the representatives, as trustees of the college. The meeting has received the following statement respecting the college’s finances: Running expenses during the last year, $1,225.50 over receipts, making the college indebtedness now $3,355.13. The following appropriations were made today: Bills pavable, $3,400; book and tract, $200; peace, $100; education, SSO; foreign missions, sl,000; missionary hoard, $800; First-day schools, SSO; temperance, SSO; ministry, $2,000; Indian ■work, $305; deficiency and incidental expenses, $1,755. Minor Notes. The store of Frank Williams, at Hagerstown, ■was broken into and a quantity of cigars and a revolver taken, as well as a few dollars in money. John Black, living one mile south of Delphi, had two valuable horses and a buggy stolen Thursday night. A party has left in pursuit of the thieves. A vacant house on the farm of Zedekiali Powell, near Calloway’s, Jefferson county, was burned by an incendiary on Saturday night. Besides tne building. 175 bushels of potatoes . stored there were destroyed. Mrs. Anna R. Coulter, wife of W. H. Coulter, of Frankfort, died on Sunday evening, and will bo buried to-day at 10 A. M. Mrs. Coulter was a ' most estimable Christian lady, and leaves a large circle of mourning friends. George Brock aud James Daws, of Bono township, Lawrence county, got into a dispute, Saturday evening. at the Lee school-house, seven miles east of Mitchell, over an old feud. In the melee Brock drew a revolver and shot Daws through the Inngs, inflicting a probably fatal wound. Three weeks ago the district school-house, one mile west of Connersville, was burned down by an incendiary. The school authorities then procured another building in the neighborhood, and fitted it up as a temporary substitute. The repairs were hardly completed, when, on Saturday night, it also was fired and burned down. Bishop Knickerbacker has recommended to the vestry of Christ Church, Madison, Rev. F. A. AJeßosset, assistant at Calvary Church, New York city, to be rector in place of Rev. Edward Bradley, resigned. He is a native of North Carolina, about thirty years old, and married. He also recommended Rev. William B. Walker, of New York. The vestry have not decided what to do. After a five days’ trial in the case of the Henderson Bridge Company against the Ingle heirs, of Evansville, the jury returned a verdictin favor of the Ingle heirs for $12,000. The Ingle claim was $20,000 for the condemnation of 10.26 acres of land belonging to the Inele heirs. In the trial the land was sworn to be worth prices ranging from S2OO to $1,500 per acre. The case will be appealed to the Supreme Court. A “COPPERHEAD” CHURCH. Rev. O. H. P. Ahhett’s Religious Venture— An A band tilled Meeting-House. Correspondence of the Indianapo is Journal. Zionsvil. le, Oct. 6.—1 spent yesterday in this stiring little city, the third town of Boone county in size and population, and learned something interesting about church matters. The town contains four of these sacred temples, but Only one of them calls for special mention at this time. It was built in 1867, under peculiar circumstances. It is a sort of second M. E. Church, and its erection was planned and car ried out at the instigation of Rev. O. H. P. Abbett, now of Indianapolis. This clerical gentleman had renounced his aliegi•atieo to the Southeast M. E. Conference during the war—apparently became that loyal body persisted in maintaining its allegieueeto the federal government. Feeling his isolation more keenly than he felt his guilt as a rebel sympathyzer, this ministerial Pecksniff, in 1867. projected the erection of a “white Methodist church” in Zionsville. His scheme was indorsed by about a dozen Democratic “pale faces” belonging to the Zionsville charge, and the result was the structure in question. Above the front door of this edifice is the inscription, “Christian Union Church—A. D., 1867." Os course this was a misnomer. Had the sincerity of its projectors been equal to their disloyalty they might have anticipated George William Curtis by writing it, “The Anti-Chris-tian Disunion Sectarian Irreligious Spoils Confederacy." The charge worried along under the (mis)managoment of Brother Abbett—its membership never reaching above a score of souls—until about eight years ago, when a revival was inaugmated, resulting in some forty accessions. ut this spurt, singularly enough, proved the signal of a downfall—as high fever often proves a precursor of speedy dissolution. No services have been held there for years. All the orig inal members, save one old couple, are now practically outside the pale of the church. The structure itself is deserted by its builders, and rears its grim front only as relic of Democratic folly—a monument of overt copperheadism. Can any one doubt, in the light of the facts, that the Democrats of Zionsville heartily Wish this notorious pile had been swallowed up ky the recent earthquake? j. c. o. ILLINOIS. A Brace of Well-Known Confidence Operators Escape from Prison. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Danville, Oct. 6.—On the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 1, John Moore, a saloon-keeper, was knocked down and robbed by foot-pads of $250 and a gold watch valued at S2OO. Last Saturday \ night the police of this city arrested one P. J. Tierney, a confidence operator, aud William lately, alias Jim Willis, on suspicion. The partios were placed in the calaboose, where they remained until last night, when they effected their escape by breaking open the door to their Coll. At the time the parties made their escape no one except the night watchman of the fire department was on duty at the City Building, Tie was sleeping soundly, and knew nothing of the escape until this morning. Tierney has a record as a successful confidence operator and , jail breaker. Arrest of a Murderer. Upoetal to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomington, Oct. 6. — James Bradley, who ]shot and killed John 1,. Pearson, in this city, Jast Thursday, was arrested to-dav by Constable

Thompson, at tlio Indiana. Bloomington & West- j ern depot, at Danvers, just as lie was about to step on a westward train, with a ticket to Sigourney, la. He was brought here and lodged in jail. He greatly fears lynching. He had been closely pursued ever since the tragedy, hut skill fully eluded his pursuers. The shooting was the result of a drinking quarrel, and was evidently a cold blooded murder. Singular Death of a lioy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomington, Oct. 6. —This afternoon, at Delaware, Lewis Walden, aged thirteen, led a heifer to a creek to drink. As she drank he stood with his arm around the heifer’s neck. The animal suddenly threw its head around, her horn striking the hoy in the breast, near the heart, and plunging into his body its entire length, killing him instantly. Brief Mention. The restaurant of James Vincent, at Watt Station, was robbed by burglars, oil Sunday morning, of S3O in cash. Louis Rankin has been arrested at Decatur for striking Martin Connelly on the head with a beer glass, on the night of the Harrison meeting, Sept. 9. Connelly has been ill ever since, and it is thought he will die. Rankin was jailed in default of $2,000 bail. Miss Anna Roberts, daughter of Dr John Roberts, a physician of Pleasant Plains, has run away, leaving a letter that she is tired of home and will never return. She borrowed money of a local merchant, which she asks her father—who is a widower, and well off —to repay. At Ashland, the corone.’s jury, in the case of W. H. Wells, of Grand Rapids, Mich., found floating in the hay, returned a verdict that deceased came to his death by a pistol-shot thr nigh the head by parties unknown. There is no doubt but that he was murdered and robbed. C. A. Fredericks, of Nebraska, took a room at the Walluce House, at Sterling, on Saturday night. About 4 o'clock Sunday morning he heard his door-lock click, and awoke in ’time to see a burglar make Ins exit. Upon examination Fredericks found that S7OO had been taken from under his pillow. The burglar came in at an open window, and escaped without being seen. John Miller and August Ahlin, farm laborers, living twelve miles north of Sterling, got drunk on hard cider, on Saturday night, and, in a quarrel which ensued. Miller struck Ahlin in the head with an ax, killing him. He claims to have acted in self defense, and that he struck the other man with the ax only when Ahlin was presenting a revolver held in both hands at him and threatening to shoot. As the revolver was found in the dead man’s pocket, the the theory of selfdefense is not strong. THE SPORTING RECORD. First Day of tti© Fall Trotting Meeting of the Chicago Driving Park.

It is thought the firm and its workmen affected by the proproposed reduction of wages will come to an understanding to-morrow, and work be resumed. Tho dissatisfaction over the reduction of 10 per cent, at Dilworth & Porter's spike mills appears to have subsided, a.s the mill is working full time to-day. The strike ainoug the fourthpool miners is at an end. Reports received today state that miners are all at work at the reduction. Tho Railroad Coal Trade's Tribunal was granted license to day, and tho board will immediately endeavor to fiix the mining rate for the winter months.

night, and decided unanimously to strike against the proposed reduction of 12. J percent, which was to go into effect tomorrow. This action will compel the firm to close down in all departments, and, while only unskilled labor will be affected by the reductions, the suspension will throw out of employment over .TOGO men. A MUSEM ENTS. cirand—Shadows of a great c ity.’’ At the Grand Opera-house last night the initial production of the sensational melodrama, ‘•The Shadows of a Great City,” was witnessed by a large and discriminating “first night” audience. The author is Mr. L. R. She well, an American, and the action of the play is laid in America. The motif is furnished in the villainy of George Benson, a gambling nephew of a rich banker, Thomas Benson. The banker’s mind is poisoned against a daughter who has married against his wishes, by the machinations of the wiek“d nephew. To further his scheme, a worthy clerk of tho banker (the most improbable conception in tho play) is got in the toils by the villain, and is thrown into jail. The clerk is instrumental in rescuing the outcast daughter of the banker, aud at last circumvents the villain. This is a rough outline. Apropos of the ploy, Mr. Shewell has shown rare constructive taleut in his work, both in dialogues, situation and mise en scene. The comedy elements are well balanced and happy in invention, and his characterizations well drawn. Tho situations are all strong, bar none, and well sustained, and the climaxes exciting and numerous, following each other in rapid and unexpected succession. There is is no superfluity, no extraneous matter in the play whatever, as it was carefully rehearsed by Mr. Joseph Jefferson. The success of the play is due to its quick action ancUpowerful climaxes. Mr. Shewell has not written a play appealing to the emotions objectively, but has put togetner:a series of stage pictures that must move the most blase, by the intense interest of its situations. A hair-splitting critique on the minor faults of the play is unnecessary, and in justice to tho author it must be said that in “The Shadows of a Great City" Mr. Shewell has vindicated the claim that managerial •‘stuff” need not be wasted on British bombast. Whatever may bo the verdict elsewhere, it is predicted that the play will be the piece de resistance of the road next season, as it is far superior to “Tho World,” “Romany Rye.” “Silver King,” etc., and all melodramatic successes, both in scenic effects and startling surprises. Os the tableaux and tricks in the piece they are new and numerous, and there is not one trite setting in the play. The audience received the play, actors and mountings with vociferous applause. The strongest work in the play was uono by Miss Anuie Ward Tiffany in the character part of Biddy Koran. Her methods are natural and her accent and action in keeping with the part. Mr. Ueorgo R Edeson enacts the part of John Barren, a thief (comedy) and invests the part with a quaint drollery. It is a meaty part, and the gentleman is a rare “mugger.” Mr. O. H. Barr, who made a hit in the production of “The Stranglers of Paris,” plays the part of the villain, und does very clover work, as does also Mr, B. K. Graham, Mr. W. W. Allen and Mr. W. H. Burton. Miss Julia Stuart, who enacts a dual role, is a very bright little actress. The rest of the cast were satisfactory in their parts. The performance went very smoothly and Mr. Shewell and Mr. Jelfersou are to be congratulated on the presentation last night. “Shadows of a Great City” will hold the boards of the Grand the entire week. The advance sale of seats for Hyde and Beh man’s Minstrels, who occupy English’s Operahouse on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, opeued yesterday. The company is said to be very strong, headed by well-known specialists. The Paper Floor Rink will be open to-night

Kaylor, for several years employed in the Journal business office, died yesterday morning at his home on South street of consomption, after a lingering illness of several month's duration. Young Kaylor was a singularly pure and noble young man, free from all the numerous vices that so often beset young men,{ana was ready to go when the summons came. He was a favorate with nil who knew him, and his death will be sincerely mourned. A Assault. This morning, shortly after 1 o’clock, a man entered Lee Hanshaw’s restaurant in the basement of the Ross Block, and after eating a dozen oysters which he ordered, drew a large knife and viciously assaulted the proprietor. Hanshaw succeeded in warding off the force of the murderous blows, and escaped dangerous injury, but his clothing was badly cut, and he was slightly wounded in three or four places. His assailant escaped. Base Ball Matters. A special from Manager Watkins, from Philadelphia, is as follows: “Athletic, 2, Indianapolis, 0. The game was well played throughout, but Barr had his usual luck letting O'Brien make a home run, bringing in a man from third as well as his own run. We failed to hit Taylor effectively. Peltz did the best batting for Indianapolis. Barrett caught a beautiful game, not having a passed ball. McKeon played first but poorly. Donnelly played splendidly at short. Will play an exhibition game to-morrow.” Mexican Veterans Going to St. Louis. A number of Mexican war veterans, of In dianapolis, will attend the national reunion at St. Louis.

GOOD NEWS FROM OHIO. H. H. Fulton, president of the Indianapolis Machine and Steel Pulley Company, returned to the city last night from an extended trip through tho iron districts of Ohio and Pennsylvania. “The Ohio Republicans,” Mr. Fulton remarked to a Journal reporter last night, “are better organized and are more enthusiastic than they have ever been before. I had supposed that the newspaper reports in regard to what they w*ere doing over there were greatly exaggerated, but 1 find that they are not—they do not tell half. Business in northeastern Ohio ia entirely suspended. Manufacturers, at their own expense, are uniforming and equipping their employes, and, besides sending them from one plftcC to another to attend meetings, they are paying for the transportation.” “Then business must be practically suspended P "1 talked with men who are at the head of immense iudu.-.-tries, who said that it was useless to attempt to do any work until after the election. At Akron, a place of less than 20,900 population, there were 50.000 to near Senator Logan speak. At Wooster there were 6,000 men who carried torches at night, and all of that portion of the State is preparing to meet Blaine at Massillon on Thursday. Many of the Democrats concede the Stato to Blaine by from 8,000 to 10,000 on the electoral vote. I did not find a man, Republican or Democrat, who could express a reliable opiuiou as to the . ssult next week. The parties have never been so torn to pieces on local issues as this yoar. The Republicans are sanguine. In Pennsylvania every tiling ia so one-sided that there is no fun. There are strong indications of an early revival of the iron business, if Blaine is elected, which is, in my humble opinion, a dead sure thing.” PERSONAL AND LOCAL NOTES. Hon. Stanton J. I’eelle will speak at West Newton on Thursday evening, Oct. 9, at 7:30. Mayor J. L. McMaster and Frank McCray will address the citizens of West Indianapolis this evening, at 7:30. Hon Stanton J. Peelle will speak at enginehouse No. 10, on Madison avenue, on Monday evening, Oct. 13, at 7:30. James Taw, the first lieutenant of a company of Cleveland and Hendricks escort guards," has resigned on account of the treatment of the Democratic county committee and their failure to fulfill their promises to the members of the company. N. R. Peckinpaugh, of Leavenworth, in a letter to Republican headquarters, says: “Every where that 1 have been in Harrison county I have found Democrats who say that they will vote for Blaine and Logan.” The joint discussion between Major John O. Cravens and “Objector” Holman, tho candidates for Congress in the Fourth district, is becoming somewhat embarrassing to the latter. Wherever they speak, hand-bills are circulated, asking them, "Where do you standi Are you for free trade or the protection of Amenqan industry! Are you oppbftd tS tub Morrison tariff reduction bill? Shall American wool-growers be protected?" Mr. Cravens answers these questions unequivocally and explains satisfactorily where he stands, but they are the cause of much embarrassment to Mr. Holmau.

iiiDTI^^PSBISS. There is nothing adds so much, not merely to the elegance and finish of a room (especially of a parlor), but to its positive comfort, as Lace Curtains. These beautiful draperies no longer require a fortune in their possessors. It used to be that only the wealthy could bit}' them. Now they are within reach of every home that makes any pretentions whatever to beauty and comfort. ALBERT GALL, at Nos. 17 and 19 West Washington street, has just received immense invoices of Lace Curtains, botli domestic and imported, and it is astonishing how cheap are many of the most charming and novel patterns. These Laces are constantly growing in favor with my trade, and these purchases are the most favorable I have ever brought to Indianapolis. 11. ALBERT GALL
