WHEN CLOTHING STORE. SERIOUS MISSUS Bl' FIRE. Burning of a Chicago Business BlockForeman Carr’s Hefoic Sacrifice. Chicago, Oct. 29.—The large brick building aituated on the southeast corner of Lasallo and Michigan streets, the lower floors of -which were occupied by hide dealers and the Upper portion by Fisher’s cigar box factory, caught fire about noon and was completely gutted. One man was killed by jumping, and two others were smothered on the stairs. The factory girls on the upper floor escaped with the greatest difficulty. It is believed all are safe. The loss will reach SIOO,OOO. The building was owned by Mr. Cuiver, of Culver, Page & Hoyne, and was a five-story structure, occupied by Schnabel & Cos., barbed wire manufacturers; the Campbell Printing Press Company; Itaneheizer Bros., chewing gum manufacturers, and W. E. Fisher’s cigar box factory. The latter was in the top story and employed twenty one men and eighteen giris. The foreman of the shop, James Carr, got all the people together in good order, and coolly led the hand to the fire-proof stairs and safely to the ground. He was troubled with doubt as to whether any had been left behind, and he quickly returned to the fifth story, but remained a few moments too late—the flames had cut oft every avenue of escape. He hurried to the roof, and, amid the Wild excitement of thousands of people below, •was thrown a rope from a building on the opposite side of the street. Making the line fast, he commenced his perilous descent, while firemen held a heavy tarpaulin beneath as a precaution. Suddenly the rope snapped under the man's weight, or was burned by hursts of flames. Carr’s body shot downward, head foremost, and, to the horror of the people, went directly through the tarpaulin, and was picked up from the stones. His neck was broken and the body mangled beyond recognition. Another thrilling scene, meanwhile, was taking place at the fire-escape from the chewing gum factory. Eighteen young girls, panie-strieken, came down pell-mell, and when within twentyfive feet of the ground th last eight jumped to the pavement, failing in a confused mass. Miraculously, none were seriously injured, except three, who received painful cuts and bruises. Later —Carr, whose neck was not broken, as at first supposed, recovered on the way to the hospital, but died this afternoon. . It caur.ot be ascertained that there was any other loss of life. The losses and insurance are as follows: On building, loss, $65,00(1: insurance $39,000. Campbell Printing Press Company, loss, $15,000; insurance, SIO,OOO. Schmell & Cos., barbed wire, loss, $30,000; insurance. SIO,OOO. Fisher & Cos., cigar boxes, loss, $15,000; insuanco, SIO,OOO. Small Business Houses Burned. Dkoj' .town, N. J., Oct. 29.—Fire here, last night a number of small business places. Loss, $35,000. Partly insured. A DISASTROUS STORM. Terrific Gale on the Lower California CoastMany Vessels Wrecked and Lives Lost. San Francisco, Cal., Oct 29.—The following further particulars of the disastrous storms on the coast of Lower California were learned this morning. The news was brought here by the captain of the steamer Newborn from Guaymas. He says the steamer Estado de Sonora left Mazatlan Sept. 29, and the first storm broke on the following day. It raged with such terrific fury that the Estado was unable to put back, and it is supposed she rolled over and went down, with fifty-seven souls aboard. Nothing was ever afterward heard of either passengers or crew. On October 14 the Newbern passed a large quantity of wrecked stuff near the entrance of Gulf of California. Among it was a pilot's compass. A lot of brass work had also been picked up by the natives of San Jose Island; they had stripped off all the wood part and burned it, leaving only the brass work. There were no marks on any of these, but ii is believed they were all from the wrecked steamer. Some of the brass work was sent- to Guaymas for the purpese of identifying it. The Estado was commanded by Captain Rede, a nephew of Captain Charles Wilson, formerly Danish Consul at this city. The second storm began Oct. 7, and lasted three days, being more violent than the first The only particulars are that such a tremendous sea was running that the Newbern was unable to touch at the cape. She passed through fields of loose candles, believed to be part of the cargo of tho schooner Dora. Out of all the small coasters only one has been heard of—a small sloop, name unknown, with five people aboard, two of whom were saved—a young hoy, son of Mr. Green, manager at Cape St Lucas, and a sailor. The latter held the boy sixteen hours in his arms in the water. Os nine schooners lost, four were the San Pablo, the San Pedro, the Cisnc, and the Antonio. The names of the five others are unknown. A Missing Banker.| Detroit, Pa., Oct 29 —Fred W. Duvernois, for several years a private banker of this city, is missing. He owes depositors from $20,000 to $40,000, and was agent for nine insurance companies, to whomhe owes an aggregate of over $15,000. He transferred his property to his wife several years ago, hut the transfer was not recorded until recently. Mrs. Eeea Smith, 61 N. Foster street, Springfield, 0., suffered severely from rheumatism for six weeks. Four doses of Athlophoros entirely relieved the pain.

THE PROTEST OF MORALITY. A Denunciation of Democracy and Its National Candidates by the Clergy. Nearly a Thousand Ministers of the Gospel, Representing all Denominations, Call on Mr. Blaine in a Body. An Unequivocal Indorsement of the Republican Party and Its Leaders. Mr. Blaine Responds in a Speech of Great Force, in Which the Leading Issues of the Campaign Are Presented. VOICE OF THE CLERGYMEN. Brief but Strong Resolutions Indorsing Mr. Blaine’s Candidacy. New York, Oct. 29. —At 10 o’clock this morning the gentlemen's parlors at the Fifth-avenue Hotel were filled with clergymen of various denominations, who had gathered to meet James G. Blaine. Five minutes later Rev. Dr. James King called the assembly to order, and Rev. Dr. Burchard was chosen chairman, and Rev. Dr. McArthur secretary. Dr. King then presented the following resolutions: “Resolved, That we believe that the triumph of the principles of tho Republican party is essential to the welfare of the country and to the preservation of the results of the late civil strife, and consequently that the election of its representatives, in the persons of Hon. James G. Blaine and John A. Logan, is imperative. "Second —That we believe in the purity of the personal character of these standard-bearers, and also believe in their trained capacity as statesmen to meet the claims of the high offices for which they are in nomination. “Third—That we protest against the coronation of conceded personal impurity as represented by the head of tho Democratic ticket, and, while we deplore the necessity, we do not evade the responsibility of declaring our judgment to the world of this insult to Christian civilization embodied in such a nomination for the presidency of the Republic. "Fourth—That we are opposed to putting a premium on disloyalty as represented by the candidate for the vice-presidency of the Democratic party. “Fifth—That we exhort all well-meaning and loyal citizens, regardless of party, when purity is at stake, not, by voting for the Prohibition candidate, to cast half a vote for the Democratic candidate, giving semi-sanction to impurity and disloyalty, nor to cast a whole vote for the man whose name is now a conspicuous synonym of incapacity and incontinence. “Sixth—That we exhort our fellow-citizens to cast one voto for virtue ir. the home, for protection for the right of the humblest citizens at home and abroad, for protection for American industries, for settlement of international differences by arbitration, for war against polygamy, for decent treatment of Indians, for preservation of the results of the wars of the revolution and of the rebellion, for every sacred interest of our belovod country, by voting the Republican ticket at the ensuing election.” Rev. Dr. Spear, of Brooklyn, commended the resolutions as satisfying his head and heart, and they were adopted without dissent. Rev. Dr. Burchard then named as a committee to address Mr. Blaine, when he should be brought before them, the following gentlemen: Rev. Dr. James King, of the M. E. Church; Rev. Dr. Spear, of the Presbyterian Church; Rev. Dr. McArthur, of the Baptist Church; Rabbi Browne, of the Temple Gates of Hope; Rev. Dr. J. G. Roberts, of the Brooklyn Congregationalist, and Richard Lawrence, of the Friends Meeting house. The clergymen then went to the corridor on the first floor, and gathered about the foot of the stairway, down which walked Mr. Blaine, lean ing on the Rev. Dr. King, while Minister Levi P. Morton, Walker Blaine, Mrs. Blaine and her daughters were on the landing above. Rev. Dr. King and Mr. Blaine paused on the fourth or fifth step from the floor, and Rev. Dr. Burchard was Introduced to Mr. Blaine by Dr. King. Dr. Burchard then ascended to the side of Mr. Blaine, and addressed him as follows: “We are very happy to welcome you to this circle. You see here representatives of all the denominations of this city; you see the large number that are represented. We are your friends, Mr. Blaine; notwithstanding all the calumnies that have been urged in the papers against you, we stand by your side. [Shouts of ’amen.’] We expect to vote for you on Tuesday. We have a higher expectation, which is that you will be President of the United States, and that you will do honor to your name, to the United States, and to tho high office you will occupy. We are Republicans, and don't propose to leave our party and identify ourselves with the party whose antecedents have been rum and rebellion. We are loyal to our flag. We are loyal to you. ” As Dr. Burchard spoke, his voice at times trembled, and while his manner showed the earnestness of all he said, his speech visibly affected Mr. Blaine, and moisture glistened in his eyes. it. BLAINE’S RESPONSE. A Powerful Speech, Touching on the Main Issues of the Campaign. A number of other ministers then spoke, when Mr. Blaine responded as follows: “Mr. Chairman and Reverend Gentlemen: This is altogether a very remarkable assemblage—remarkable beyond any which I have known in the history of political contests in the United States, and it does not need my personal assurance that you should know I am very deeply impressed by it. I do not feel that I am speaking to these hundreds of men merely—l am speaking to tho great congregations and the great religious opinion which is behind them, and as they represent the great Christian bodies, I know aud I realize the full weight of that which you say to me and of the influence which you tender to me. Were it to me personally, I confess that I should be overcome by the compliment and tho weight of confidence which it carries; but I know that it is extended to me as the representative of the party whose creed and whose practice are in harmony with the churches. The Republican party, from its very outset, stood upon the impregnable platform of opposition to the exten sion of human slavery, and it stood on that

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 30, 18S4.

platform till it was drifted by the hostility it provoked into a larger assertion of national sovereignty, and thence into a bloody conflict to maintain it. From that onward I defy any man to point to a single measure of the Republican party which could not challenge the approval of Christian ministers and the approval of God; and when, as one of* the reverend speakers has said, I narrowed the issue when I spoko of its coming down to a question of the tariff, I did not mean ta exclude therefrom —I could not mean it—that great history of the party which is its wealth and its creed, and which gives to you and to all that stand behind you assurance that whatever issue it attempts to enforce it will do it in good faith. They can no more separate the party from its history than yon can separate a man from his character, and when the great make-up of public opinion is ready, it takes into account the origin, the progress, the measures, the character of the party and tiie character of its public men. What I meant by saying that the tariff was the conclusive issue, was, that it steps to the front, not in exclusion of a thousand other important issues, butforthis critical occasion, and at tho close of this great campaign, it stands forth as that issue which represents broad to the hungry and clothing to the naked, and prosperity to an entire people; and the tariff is, therefore, mostly as a material issue, distinct and separate from the great moral issues; because, as I have said before to Western audiences, I say here, you cannot ira press a man if he is hungry with any other thought than that he shall be fed; you cannot impress a man, if he is naked, with any other thought than that lie shall be clothed; and therefore that public policy and that statesmanship is highest and best that attends to the primal needs cf human nature first, and says, here is bread for the hungry, here is clothing for the naked; and the tariff which protects the American laborer in his wages, the American capitalist in his investments, the inventive talent of the country in its enterprise, is the issue which lies at the veiy foundation of the prosperity of the American people and the very foundation of tho success of the Christian religion. When you send out your missionaries to destitute places, you clothe the little naked children aud give them food at the first step; therefore I repeat, that the great conflict of 1884 closes with the people of the United States standing face to face in two parties, saying whether they will adhere to that policy of pro tection which has trebled the wealth of the United States in twenty years, or whether they will abandon it and return once more to the failing theory of free trade. _ [Cries of 'Never!’ ‘never!’J “It involves other issues, too. No nation can grow so powerful as the United States has grown and is growing without continually enlarging its relations with other nations. As these relations become enlarged they become complicated, and therefore the foreign policy of the United States goes right along with its domestic policy, supplementing and complementing it We cannot, in any affair of our destiny and our policy, separate the one from the other. Now, gentlemen of the churen, I address an earnest word to you. The Doliey of tho United States in the past and in the future must be one of broad, liberal principles, and that policy must be one, in my judgment, which draws nearer within the circle of the sym pathies of the United States those other struggling republics of North and South America—which brings them first into trade relations, and then into closer personal and moral relations; and I believe that we shall not only have that great gain that comes from intercourse, but we shall enlarge with the civilization of the Anglo-Saxon until its limits shall include the utmost southern point of the lower continent. “I did not intend, in accepting and acknowledging the great sense of obligation I feel for this honor, to go into a prolonged political speech. I have but indicated the two leading points which 1 think are involved in the pending election. It only remains for me to say to you that I recognize at its full worth—aud its full worth is very great—the meaning of this assemblage. We have no union of church and state, but we have proved that the church is stronger without the state, and we have proved that no state can be strong without tho church. Let us go forward as we have gone, the state growing and strengthening by the example of the church, and the church growing and strengthening by liberal co operation with all the great reforms which it is the immediate province of tiie government to forward and improve. Gentlemen, I thank yon again and bid you a very cordial good morning.” Mr. Blaine was then greeted with three ringing cheers, and Rev. Dr. McArthur called for and led in three equally hearty cheers for Mrs. Blaine. Mr. Blaine then descended to the foot of the stairs, and for some time remained shaking hands with tho clergymen who had visited him. The exact number of clergymen present at tho meeting was 1,020. Many were from other points and were unknown here. At 3:30 this afternoon the bnsiness men formed on lower Broadway and moved up to Maui son square, where they were reviewed by Mr. Blaine from a large stand erected for that purpose. The parade was the greatest demonstration of the kind ever se nin this country. Twenty thousand voters marched for four hours through the dashing rain. The enthusiasm of the . business men has turned the political tide in New York. All sigus now point to a Republican victory. MR. BLAINE’S WALKING-STICK. Father Hugh O'Neil’s Presentation of the Cane Voted by Indianapolis Catholics. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. New York, Oct. 29.—Shortly after the ministers’ call upon Mr. Blaine ended and they had retired, Father Hugh O’Neil, of Indianapolis, was shown into Mr. Blaine's parlor, where he was most cordially welcomed by Mr. Blaine. Father O’Neil then in a brief but happily worded speech presented him an elegant gold-headed cane, voted Mr. Blaine, as the good father informed him, at a Catholic fair in Indianapolis. Mr. Blaine received the gift with ovident pleasure, and with much fervor requested Father O'Neil to convey his warmest and kindest thanks to his Indiana friends. The father, by reason of his mission, attracted r,o little attention. He is a full-blooded Irishman, but two and one half years in this country —a man of large and imposing figure, with a kindly and expressive blue eye, a florid, healthy countenance, a ready wit, and a pleasing manner. Avery brief conversation with him was sufficient to convince your correspondent that he is a thorough Republican, warmly attached to the fortunes of that party.

LAST DAYS OF THE CANVASS The Protracted Struggle for National Supremacy Drawing to a Close. A Sharp and Determined Fight Now in Progress in the States of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut With Indications That All Three States Will Vote lor Blaine and Logan. The Great Parade of New York Business Men -Twenty-Five Thousand Voters in Line, Despite a Pouring Rain. THE NARROWING CONTEST. A Sharp Struggle in Progress in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut* Special to the Indianapolis Journal. New York, Oct. 29.—The contest for President is now narrowed to the States of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Os Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois there is no more question than there is of Maine, Vermont and Rhode Island. Advices received to-day from the leading men of the Pacific coast gave assurance that California, Oregon and Nevada are conceded to the Republican ticket The leading correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the great Democratic organ of the West—himself a native and resident of Indiana—in a letter just sent to that paper, after an extensive tour through the State, conceded Indiana to the Republicans by at least 10,000 majority. Advices to the Republican headquarters, after a most thorough and careful canvass of the State, coincide fully with this concession from Democratic authority. In New Jersey the tariff issue has strengthened the Republican party many thousands of votes, and the defection among tho Irish-Ameri-cans, who have heretofore been active members in the Democratic £arty, is very great in that State. Mr. Hobart, tho member of the national committee from New Jersey, himself a very conservative man, and who has given great attention to the canvass in that State, claims New Jersey by 12,000 for the Republican ticket. I find no Republicans who express any doubt of carrying New Jersey. In Connecticut the contest is closer. There is some defection in New Haven among the Republicans, but this defection, it is believed, will be more than counterbalanced by the defection which exists among the Irish Americans. Connecticut is literally covered over with manufactories, and the employes of these numberless workshops are ranging themselves upon the side of the party that stands for a protective tariff. I do not think that Connecticut is doubtful; its majority will probably not exceed 5,000. but I think it can confidently be claimed to give that majority for the Republican ticket. New York is, of course, the great battleground. It is useless to deny that the New York Evening Post, the New York Times and the Harper publications have produced some effect among a class of Repub licans, particularly in New York city, and Brooklyn. Just to what extent this disaf section will go it is impossible to say, and it can never be known; but, giving it as much strength as the most sanguine independent claims, it can not equal the gain the Republicans will receive from the disaffection among the Irish-Ameri-cans and laboring men in the two cities. Neither will the voto given to St John, which will mainly be drawn from tho Republican party, begin to equal tho vote that will be taken from the Democratic party and given to Gen. Butler. It will be reinbered that when Governor Tilden carried New York, and Tilden ivas certainly the greatest organizer the Democratic party has had in the past quarter of a century—ho only received 40.000 in the State, and he went oat of Kings and New York counties with about 75.000 majority, Mr. Cleveland's friends do not claim that he will go out of these two counties now with more than 45,000 majority, and the Republicans do not concede over 30,000 in tho two counties. From a very careful and thorough canvass, made from a full poll of the vote of the State, Mr. Blaine’s friends claim that he will come to the Harlem river with from 70,000 to 80,000 majority, and they not only confidently assert and believe that he will carry this State, but they are equally confident that he will carry it by a very large plurality. TILE BUSINESS MEN’S PARADE. Twentj r -Flve Thousand Men March in Procession, Despite a Drenching Rain. To the Western Associated Press. New York, Oct. 29.— Notwithstanding the rain, the parade of business men here, in honor of James G. Blaine, is pronouuced by its promoters all they desired. Twenty-five thousand is the estimate of the number of the men in line, and the procession occupied two hours and forty minutes in passing the reviewing stand. The line began to form at Bowling Green about 3 o’clock, and at 3:30 the procession began its march up Broadway. . At the Worth monument a stand had been erected, and, despito the rain, it became filled. Mr. Blaine arrived on the, stand at half-past 3 o’clock. Soon after, Colonel C. B. Mitchell, grand marshal, and his aids rode past and saluted. Then followed the Twenty-third Regiment band, with the Produce and Maritime Exchanges, 1,500 strong; next camo tho Bankers’ and Brokers’ Club, with many hundreds of men, and the Sixty-ninth Regiment hand, followed by two ranks of colored men with the Seventy-first Regiment band; tho Petroleum Exchange Club came next, with tho Fourteenth Regiment band, and then the Mining and Cotton Exchanges followed, the cotton men carrying canes with tufts of cotton on tho ends. A great, white banner and a band heralded the members of the bar, who wore silk hats and largo, white badges. The students of the University Medical College and the Blaine and Logan students of Columbia College passed, followed by the students of the College of Physicians and Surgery; then camo a thousand merchants of lower Wall street and the insurance Blaine and Logan men, having umbrellas of white cloth, with •‘Protection’’ printed on them. The next to pass were tho jewelers, witli the Seventh Regiment band aud the Rocky Mountain Club,

follow by the boot and shoe men. Tho millinery trade was represented by a truck bearing a large cannon labelled “Protection to American industries.” Then came two ranks of men with lamps in their hats, with blacked faces and shovels and pick axes; this was the Engineers’ Club. The hardware trade, tho West-side merchants, and the paper trade followed, and the carpet men came next, having a banner with tho words, “Tho man good enough for Garfield is good enough for us.” The dry-goods men, between 4,000 and 5,000 strong, followed, with a truckload of dry-goods boxes, decorated with pictures of Blaine, and following them the porters <and drivers of tho dry-goods trade, hearing a board mounted on a staff with a crow, and on top the words “Democratic feed.” In the dark ness, rain and mud tho marching continued until 6*20. Broadway was lined with people from Bowling Green to and beyord the Worth monument, the reviewing ground, while litre and at other special points on the line of march the people were massed in great force and cheered those in the procession most heartily. Mr. Blaine was most enthusiastically cheered on his way to and from the reviewing stand, and while lie was there it seemed one continuous roar. TIIE SCOTT LAW DECISION. How It Is Regarded by Democrats and Sa-loon-Keepers—Money To Be Refunded. Cincinnati Enquirer. Mr. Hawkins, sheriff of Hamilton county, and a Democrat, said: “If the Supreme Court so far forgot its dignity as to cotno to this decision in order to aid our party in the November election they made eggregious asses of themselves. If this idea was not uppermost in their minds ; then why decide it at all until after thq presidential election; or, if they must decide it with political motives in view, whv did they not so decide previous to the October election, when it might have converted a few wavering Germans to the Democratic party? Now, it makes no difference to the German element. They are independent of beer in politics, and they will walk up and vote for Blaine. In my judgment it is a grave mistake, and one which will redound to the prejudice of the Democratic party for years to come. The Scott law r was a good law, it brought hundreds of thousands of dollars to this city, thereby reducing the rate of taxation, a benefit enjoyed by the members of both parties. When you strike a man’s pocket, you strike him where he lives; and, in my humble judgment, this decision at this time will cause many a Democrat to forsake his former allegiance and vote dead against Cleveland and in favor of prohibition. This decision, at this time, looked at in tho light of po litical policy, if it can be judged in that light, is a colossal mistake, and will damage the Democratic party thousands of votes.” Colonel Frank Ilarff, of Harff & Cramer, said that he believed the decision would give the Re publicans an increase of some 5,000 or 10,000 votes. “I paid a .S4OO tax on my Vine street place and the Highland House, and I did not complain of the law, nor did any of the saloon keepers of my acquaintance,” added he. “I will telfyou.” said a friend of Mr. HarfFs who was present, “this thing will eventually make a prohibition State of Ohio.” “Yes,” said Mr. Harff. “that is what I fear. I do not exactly blame the judges, hut it will certainly help to give a largely increased Republican majority.” Mr. Cramer was seated at an adjoining table, dining with Mr. Abe Steinau. Mr. Cramer being asked his opinion, replied that he believed it would give an increased majority for Blaine. “Yes,” said Mr. Steinau; “say thore is a flue tuating vote of eighty thousand; sixty per cent of this will now go to the Republicans next Tuesday. The tax-payers and not the saloon element will now complain.” “That is my opinion,” chimed in Mr. Cramer; “and many of the saloon-keepers will wish the matter had been left as it was, as it cannot but redound to their disadvantage.” Taxes To Be Refunded.

Augusta, Ga., Oct. 29.—For several days past there have been rumors afloat of a heavy defalcation, on the part of George T. Jackson, president of tho Enterprise Cotton Factory, and a committee was appointed to investigate tho books of the company. Jackson confesses to a defalcation, but cannot give tho amount. He claims all responsibility for the deficit. Enough is* already know from tho investigating committee to state that the defalcation is over SOO,OOO, and may reach SIOO,OOO. Later.—lt will be several days bofore the full amount of the defalcation is known. The loss in running the Enterprise Mill and tho defalcation together will amount to SIBO,OOO. These losses will make the mill stand tho stockholder’s in round numbers, $1,000,000. It is capitalized at $500,000 in stock, and first mortgage bonds to the amount of $250,000. Tho mill cost, when fin ished, over SBOO,OOO. Tho developments create a seusatiou. An Inadequate Police Force. Winnepeo, Man., Oct. 29. —Information received at Port Arthur says the police force sent to Miehipieoten is inadequate to quell the disturbance. A gang of about thirty desperate roughs have their headquarters two miles from the village and keep up a reign of terror. They threaten tho life of any oue who gives informa tion against them. A larger police force or a militaiy detachment is needed to restore order. American Academy of Medicine. Baltimore, Oct. 29.—At the mooting of the American Academy of Medicine, to-day, Albert L. Gihon, of tho United States navy, was chosen president, a number of interesting papers read, and a resolution adopted recognizing in generous terms the munificent gift of $500,000 by William H.
