LAST NIGHT’S FIRE. • Wolcott's Millers’ Supplies Establishment Damaged $5,000 by Fire—lnsured. Just at 6 o’clock last evening, when the men ■were leaving their work, a fire broke out in the office and storing-room of C. H. Wolcott’s millers’ supplies establishment, on South Pennsylvania street, and for a few minutes burned very fiercely. Before the general alarm was sounded the No, 7 hose company were at work on the fire, and through their efforts and those of the remainder of the department, which arrived promptly, the flames were confined to the room in which they originated. The loss here was considerable, however, for besides the furniture and fixtures, quite a quantity of bolting cloth, which is very valuable, was either destroyed or greatly injured. Mr. Walcott said there was s',ooo worth of this stuff in this room alone, and he could not tell how great his loss would be until he could ascertain how much it was damaged. Later however, he thought that his loss would reach $25,000 and might exceed this. It is covered by insurance for $5,100. which is devided as follows: Stock $3,600, machinery $1,300, furniture S2OO, in the companies named: Union of California $1,600, Royal of Liverpool SI,OOO, Springfield of Massachusetts SI,OOO, Girard of Philadelphia SI,OOO, Northern Assurance of London SSOO. The fire department did excellent service in suppressing the fire, which for a time was very threatening. Annual Church Meetings. The annual meeting of the congregation of the First Christian Church was held last night at the Bhurch. The treasurer, John Davidson, reported receipts, $6,756.53; disbursements, $6,740.35. Mrs. E.

ME DEMOCRATIC EDITORS. V They Heartily Indorse McDonald for a Place in Cleveland's Cabinet. Gov. Hendricks Delivers Two Addresses— The Ghost of Geo. W. Julian Appears —Annual Election of Officers.

The fifth annual session of the democratic Editorial Association of Indiana, began yesterday afternoon at half past 2 o'clock, in the room of the Supreme Court, aud was called to order by the President, I. B. McDonald, of the Columbia City Herald. I). T. Praigg, of the Indianapolis Sentinel, acting as secretary. A call of the roll showed the following members to be present: J. B. Maynard, W. M. Moss, B. W. Hanna, W. H. Norton, John Hieres, Luther Short, William Mitchell, R. J, Strickland, I. B. McDonald, H. E. Henderson. Sturgis, W. D. H. Hunter, John C. Dobelbower. J. H. Harrison. J. B. Stoll, J. T. Louthain, H. H. Francis, L. A. Kirkwood, James P. Applegate, Josiah Gwin, W. Scott Ray, James Elder. George H. Puntenny, R. J. Wilson, Alex. Chomel. E. D. King, John A. Forsyth, M. Howard, T. B. Wilson, M. B. Grubbs, E. Y. Sturgis, W. H. Boswell, Frank Arnold. Enos B. Reed, of the Indianapolis People, S. A. Echols, of the Sentinel, and three or four others were then, upon payment of the fee, admitted to membership. Mr. McDonald then delivered his address. He described the association as organized for the mutual benefit of Democratic editors, and as he detailed at length the work and mission of the press, he argued that personal journalism was often needful to uncover the acts of the public hypocrite, the charlatan, and the public plunderer, and to bring to light the demagogue’s corrupt character and official trickery. He took the broad ground, however, that whenever the press assumed to stand by the people it should be fair and fearless under all circumstances. He was specially happy in complimenting his brothren- who were specially prominent in the campaign ending in the election of Cleveland and Hendricks, many of whom he mentioned by name. He laid great stress upon the alleged state of facts that the Democratic editors “had stood shoulder to shoulder,” that there “had not been a break in the line,” and that “we have sent the boys up Salt river to sojourn perhaps for time immemorial.” Messrs. Applegate, Short, Higgs, Hunter, and Stoll were appointed a committee on nomination of officers for the next meeting. Colonel J. B. Maynard got the floor and gave an exceedingly gloomy picture of the prospects for the banquet which was to take place in the evening. Plates had been ordered at $2.50 apiece, with seats for 125 persons. This had been cut down to one hundred persons, and a number of tickets had been sold to local politicians and invited guests outride of the fraternity. Os those of the fraternity invited responses had only been received from fifteen, and only three had taken tickets. The gloom lifted a little when, upon counting up. it was found that fourteen editors had bought or would buy tickets to the feast. Bayless W. Hanna introduced the following resolution: The Democratic Editorial Association of Indiana, in annual convention assembled, deem it a pleasure as well as a duty to place upon record its high appreciation of the pers uial worth and commanding abilities of Hon. Joseph E. McDonald. Asa citizen he has won universal esteem, as a statesman his renown embraces his country. Conservative as the Constitution, progressive as events require, familiar with the needs of the Republic, and capable of solving the most complex problems relating to the welfare of the peoplo, this association esteems it a fitting reward to his labors as a Democrat and an honor to his State, and the country for the President of the United States to make him one of his constitutional advisers; therefore, be it “Resolved. That Hon. Joseph E. McDonald be, and he is hereby, recommended to the Hou. Grover Cleveland. President-elect, as especially suited to a place in his Cabinet.” The resolution was unanimously adopted. W. Scott Ray presented the following resolution: “Resolved, That the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association extend to the Indianapolis Sentinel an expression of its approval and admiration for its fearless advocacy of sound Democratic ideas durimr the late campaign, and for the gallantry with which it met the assaults made upon it and the Democracy of Indiana. “Resolved, Tliat this association heartily commends Hon. John ('. Shoemaker, publisher of the Sentinel, as well deserving the recognition of the Democracy aud of the incoming administration.” President McDonald, assuming an appearance of great warmth and enthusiasm, called for u rising vote, asking that every member rise to his feet. As for himself be had said nothing of the Blaine matter during the campaign. He had taught school within thirteen miles of where Mr. Biaine had taught in Kentucky, but admired fearlessness, fearless journalism, and he asked every one to rise. Mr. McDonald did the hoop-la act with the eagerness of a ringmaster in a circus, but. a large minority of the solid editors failed to get upon their feet. The resolutions were, however, declared to be carried unanimously, the formality of asking for the negative vote being hurried away from in a hand gallop. Josiah Gwin presented' a resolution recommending Enos B. Reed to Governor Gray for the appointment of fish commissioner, which was heartily adopted. The committee on nominations reported the following officers for the next meeting, the report being adopted: President, W. Scott Ray, Shelbyville Democrat: first vice-president, Harry ll.* Francis, Michigan City Dispatch; second vice-president, J. . P. Applegate, New Albany Ledger; secretary, Luther Short, Franklin Democrat: corresponding secretary, Daniel McDonald, Plymouth Democrat: treasurer, Wra. Mitchell, Hancock Democrat executive committee. J. B. Stoll, South Bend Times; Bayless W. Hanna, Crawforisville Review; D. T. Praigg. Indianapolis Sentinel: George Puntenny, Rushville Jacksonian; G. F. Shutt. Ft. Wayne Journal. Maxinkuckeo, on the lake of that name, Marshall county, was suggested as the next place of meeting. Bay Jess W. Hanna suggested Crawfordsville. A member asked what chances there would bo for favorable rates from the Vandalia, which has anew line to the place. Mr. Stoll replied: ‘i do not know wnxt the railroad company will do. but everybody who knows anything about Riley McKeen knows he is by no means a small man.” It was then decided to hold the Juno meeting at Maxinkuckeo and Daniel McDonald. of IMyeiouth, A. T. Bitters, of Rochester. and B. F. Louthain, of Logansport, were chosen ns the local committee on .arrangements. W. Scott Ray. Frank Arnold and S. A. Rehols were chosen a committee to learn all about excursion rates to New Orleans. A vote of thanks was tendered Co3. J. B. Maynard for his .services in arranging for the present meeting, and by a unanimous vote he was made master of ceremonies for the banquet in the evening. Vice president elect Hendricks having arrived. the formality of presenting him to the editors was gone through, and he addressed them as follows: “Air. President and Gentlemen of the Association: When 1 was to attend your meeting 1 did not then, nor do I now. intend to make any extended speech. It seems impossible to me to make a speech after the contest is over, there is some ponding question to speak upon. That is one of my troubles; but I have met with men who could speak without anything particular to speak about. 1 may well, however, congratulate you for the groat work you have done in the last six months. I do not think you ever yourselves felt the full force of your arguments more than in the great contest just closed. It has placed some questions correctly before the country, tho most important and striking of which, perhaps, was the right of the peoplo to select their own rulers, without any fraudulent interference whatever. That right, I think, is now well established. It is illustrated in the fact that the country ac cepts the result of the last election, Although a very small majority in

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, ISSS.

the State of New York decided that contest. That is a very sublime spectacle—the acquiescence of so many upon so great a result and upon so narrow a majority. Hereafter it is to be understood that the votes as cast shall be counted. Thus our American institutions are fixed with greater stability than before. Looking to the future, I think the great work of this association is for reform —to make the burdens of the government and of the peoplo lighter. You said that for the purpose of reform it was necessary to have a change of administration, and upon the force of your arguments, in a great degree, the change has been made. “I think it is settled now that taxation shall only be for the purpose of maintaining the government; that it shall be limited to the wants of the government, because it is a part of the Jlatform adopted by the great convention which as been indorsed by the majority of the people. Other reforms must come, involving the careful management of national affairs. [lnterruption. 1 There were two or three things about the campaign last summer that were agreeable. There was an independence about the press that was very striking. Everything was as well discussed in Indiana as anywhere in the country, and the advocacy of the cause was not intrusted to foreign speakers. Affairs were, for the most part, in the hands of home talent; and I can say of the press, as for tho speakers, that Indiana depended upon herself, and we came forth with a glorious victory. Your work is not done. It goes on with the cause you have placed in success. I feel that I should thank you. I received such grand and encouraging support that I cannot express the depth of my gratitude to you for it. In 1884, in Indiana, the pen was mightier than the sword. The ghost of the late George W. Julian having stalked in, it was courteously invited to say something. It spoke as follows: “I am not a part of this association nor any other, and I have no rights here except as a, spectator and listener, and if I should attempt to make a speech after the admirable talk you have heard, my effort would be so utterly abortive that I shall not attempt it I thank you for the honor.” The room having become quite chilly by this time, the association adjourned.

The Banquet* At 10 o'clock last evening the doors of the dining-room at English’s Hotel, wore opened, and the Editorial Association and invited guests, to the number of 100, filed in, Mr. McDonald, as the company seated themselves, rapped the table and said: “You will please come to order so as to get at this repast. Mr. Ross Clark will act as master of ceremonies.” [A change in the programme, Col. J. B. Maynard having been chosen at the afternoon meeting.] The feeding then began. At the conclusion of the supper came toasts and respouses as follows: “George Washington;” standing and in silence. “American States and American Statesmen;” response by* Hon. W. E. Mblack. Judge Niblack made no set speech, not knowing until he saw the announcement in the afternoon paper that he had been chosen to speak. His remarks were, however, were well delivered and well received, being largely reminisceutial stories that had been told of Jackson and other statesmen by men who had known them personally. In his list of American statesmen he began with Washington and concluded with Jefferson, Jackson, Benton, Webster, Clay and Calhoun. “American Irishmen and Irish-Americans,” response by Bayless W. Hanna. Mr. Hanna’s address was lengthy, but a beautiful and, in many places, poetical tribute to the sons of the Emerald Isle, and was received with warm ex prcssions of approval. “Andrew Jackson;” standing and in silence. “The Mexican Veterans;” response S. L. MeFadden. of Logansport., in the absence of Gen. M. D. Alanson, who had been chosen to respond. Mr. McFudden expressed his great gratification that he had been selected by the General to appear before so large a number of intelligent, able-bodied and good-looking men, and in a long and somewhat meandering oration gave chance mention to the subject of his toast in only two or three spots, in one of which he said, “there are very fev of us bottle-scarred —1 mean battle-scarred veterans left now, and they won’t give us a pension," and closed with a request for all Democrats to “come to the waters of life and drink freely.’ Ho excused himself for the hilarious effect of his remarks by saying that “the supper wa3 a little dry and the crowd a little dry, and I want to put some life into you.” Mr McFadden accomplished the desired result, except in the case of David S. Gooding, who slept during most of the evening with a pertinacity that showed wonderful powers of endurance. “Politics and Business:” response by Hon. W. H. English. Mr. English’s remarks were sound, and received, as they deserved, the closest attention. He showed by’ a comparison with the day’s of Van Buren’s administration, when the Whigs, under General Harrison, raised the cry for a change, that “hard times" was no small factor in turning parties but of power. “The Growth ot Intelligence, Indicative of the Ultimate Supremacy of Democracy;” respouse by M. W. Carr. “The Union Soldiers;” response by Jap Turpen. It was so on the programme, but Mr. Turpon failed to respond, having left immediately after the banquet. “The People;” response by Gabriel Schmuck. “Indiana,” response by Hou. Thomas A. Hendricks. Mr. Hendricks spoke as follows: To tho gentlemen having charge of this feast I express ray thanks for the subject of the toast to which they have requested that I respond. From my earliest youth Indiana has been ray home; for many years it was the home of my parents. It has always been to me a charming homo. Indiana is a great and a strong State, situate and firmly fixed midway among the States. Her development was duncult. Nearly her entire surface was covered with a dense growth of giant hardwood timber. It was the work of more than one generation of strong and courageous men for her complete development. Her soil proved to be the equal, perhaps the superior, of any other in the country. liow great an advantage it is to her people to have such a soil I can not now express. The contrast between the farms that yield but a few bushels to the acre and those which yield many bushels in their blessings to their owners is very great In almost every part of Indiana the landtf are exceedingly fertile. Her population came from among almost every cultivated and civilized people. They have established constitutions and laws greatly favorable to their own advancement, and the future welfare and greatness of their children. Her schools are her pride. Fourteen thousand teachers constitute her army engaged in the cause of education. I suppose there is not a neighborhood in the State where the school house is not reasonably convenient to the home. I never more appreciated the conveniences and advantages of our school system than when 1 listened in the House of Commons to the report, of the Homo department of England in regard to the schools of Scotland. The sparseness of the settlements upon the highlands and mountain regions made the school-houses far remote from each onher, and the few hours of daylight during the winter season rendered the education of the people exceedingly difficult I repeat, our scltools are everywhere easily approached and well .conducted, and the liberal people cheerfully support and maintain them. Asa consequence of ihoir cultivation the people of Indiana are a firm and stable people; even in their politics they do not vacillate as in some other States; a few hundred or a few thousand votes will cover the ordinary differences between the parties. Firm in their convictions, and sure that they are right, they stand upon the party line. May I say to you. eentlemen of the Editorial Association, that in a high degree you share in the honor of Indiana’s rapid developement and in the general intelligence u£ which we are so proud. “The Blundering Democracy,” was responded to by James J. Walsh; “Tho November Verdict,” by W. D. M. Hunter; “The Men of Toil,” by Hon. Eugene V. Debs, and “The Democratic Press of Indiana,” by VV. C. Ball, of Terre naute. It was not until a late hour that the speaking was over and the last weary mortal had retired, though from 11 o’clock until 2 in the morning, those who could, by twos, threes, and half dozens, made their way to the door and escaped.

AMUSEMENTS. GRAND OPERA-HOUSE —MISS MINNIE PALMER. That Miss Minnie Palmer is one of the most popular actresses that.visit Indianapolis was again demonstrated by tho fact that at the opening of her engagement at the Grand, last night, she was greeted by a very large audience —larger perhaps than either of the theaters has had this season, except ou special occasions. That dramatic curiosity “My Sweetheart,” revised and somewhat improved, wa3 given, And the performance called forth njuch laughter and applause. Miss Palmer has improved greatly since her last appearance here. Aside from her singing, dancing and that naivete which has always made her attractive, she shows marked ability as an actress in what is professionally termed “straight business.” She has a sweet voice, fairly well cultivated, and she sings with taste, while her dancing is exceedingly graceful and original. The French song and dance which she introduces in the last act is one of the prettiest things of the kind ever seen on a stege. “My Sweetheart” was written for Miss Palmer, and for her alone, so the demands upon the supporting company are not very heavy. Mr. Hawkins has an ex cellent character part, which he has made, and which he plays admirably. Mr. Arnold, who is a fair light comedian, sang several songs acceptably, and Mrs. Mary Myers was particularly good in the part of Mrs. Hatzel. Miss Saterlee, as the adventuress, gave a creditable performance, and the remainder of tho cast made an indifferent average Miss Palmer and “My Sweetheart” will be seen again to-night, tomorrow afternoon and to-morrow night. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE “THE PLANTERS WIPE. ” “The Planters Wife,” which is entitled to recognition as ono of the best of recent American plays, was acted at English’s last night by Mr. Harry Lacey’s company, and the performance was received with evident manifestations of favor by tho audience. No detailed comment on the play need be made at this time, for it has been seen here many times before. Aside from the first act, which is trivial in places, it is a well written drama, with strong situations, effective climaxes, and just enough comedy between the emotional monotony. The company averages well. Mr. Lacey himself is a manly and intelligent young actor, who has the good taste not to overdo a part which affords various opportunities for rant and vehemence. Miss Carey, the leading lady, is not so careful, for she is disposed to be tragical in her manner; but she is a handsome woman, a stylish dresser, and, in many respects, a capable actress. Os the other members of the company Mis3 Della Sawyer, Miss Kate Hawthorn and Miss Karrington deserve especial mention for creditable work. “The Planter’s Wife” will be seen during the remainder of the week. NOTES. Misses Lula and Mable Nichols and Ida Howell, and Mr. Charles K. Block, all of this city, are members of the Wilbur Opera,Company, which is at English’s next week. Mr. Ramsey Morris is in the city arrranging for the production of the greatest of tho Madison Square Theater’s.successes, “May Blossoms,” at the Grand the latter part of next week. Minnie Palmer will return to Europe next May, and play for two years. So great was her success there that her engagements for this long time are with nine theaters only. She is the only American artist who has rnado such a hit abroad as to justify return engagements at a greater per ceutage than she formerly received. Mr. Edward Marble has sent to the dramatic editor of the Journal, ostensibly for publication, a card signed with his wife’s name, making some very scandalous statements about Miss Maud Stuart (Grubbs). If Mrs. Marble really wrote that card —which is doubtful —it does -not reflect much credit upon her, and if Mr. Marble wrote it, which is far more probable, it. confirms the reputation he made here of being a contemptible and cowardly scoundrel.

THE CITY IN BRIEF. The Indianapolis Art-school, English’s building, will be open on Thursday, Eriday and Saturday of each week hereafter. Marriage licenses were issued yesterday to Samuel Uman and Sarah Stokes, Michael Hechinger and Mary M. Eselgroth. An honored guest at the Democratic editorial banquet last evening was General McDonald, of St. Louis whisky ring notoriety, whose postoffice address for many months was the Missouri penitentiary. The Indianapolis Light Infantry gave a very enjoyable entertainment at their armory last night, musical numbers being contributed by Mesdaines. Lynn, Morison, Miss Whitridge, Messrs. Williams, Schonaker, Roger, Munson aud others. Two women of the town—partially intoxicated and disposed to be disorderly— were ejected from tho Grand Opera-house, during the first act last night. They were Florence Crowley and one of her running mates, and Manager Dickson says that if he had known who they were, they would not have been admitted. In Judge Walker’s court a struck jury has been impaneled to try the case of Fort, Johnson & Cos. vs. William Middleworth et al. It consists of John L. Morford. John Bowers, Cornelius J. McLain, Martin S. Toon, Levi Sutherland, Peter R. Stroup, Paul Krauss. Charles A. Howland. James McMurray, Martin Korn, William Hadley, John Norris, Samuel Merrill, William G. Wright and John Wilson. A meeting of colored citizens was hold at No. il7 Indiana avenue yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of electing delegates to the national convention of colored men. to be held at New Orleans, Jan. 15. W. D. McCoy was made chairman and E. E. Cooper secretary. A resolution was passed delegating any colored citizen who elects to go, and tho same to receive credentials from State commissioners W. H. Russel aud J. S. Hinton, at New Orleans. It Is Commissioner Morrison. Mr. Malott’s successor has at last been selected, and hereafter tho Board of Police Commissionel's will consist of John P. Frenzol, John W. Murphy and Frank W. Morrison. The lastnamed gentlomau was unanimously agreed upon, yesterday, by the board having tho appointing power, and has signified his acceptance of the position. Mr. Morrison i3 a well known young attorney, and is a son of tho late John I. Morrison, ex-Treasurer of State. Mr. Morrison is known as a young man capable of entertaining views of his own, and will no doubt fill the position acceptably. Scott’s Case Dismissed. In Judge Waiker’s court, yesterday, the garnishment and attachment proceedings instituted by Elijah T. Scott against tne mayor, tho First National Bank and others, were dismissed on account of the plaintiff's failure to file the required bond. Scott is the colored man who claimed to have drawn $1,200 in the lottery scheme, but the money was not paid him, and the proceedings were instituted to get it from funds which the company -had on deposit in various places. M. M. llurly Reappointed. Wauhliigton Special to the Louitixille Courier-Journal Mr. M. M. Hurley was reappointed postmaster of New Albany, Indiana, to-day, upon the recommendation of Senator Harrison. Mr. Hurley will hold his position until the 15tli of next April, and will then retire aud let a well-known and prominent Indiana Democrat take his place. Mr. Hurley is a clever Republican, and has made New Albany a very good postmaster, but he has held the postoflice, after next April, quite long enough. It would be a shame to spoil him by allowing hirr to hold the place under a Democratic President ~ i—lwii i i—w— Hßwa—awMam To Rink Owners aad Roller Skater3.
