niE FIE ST IN THE FIELD. Opening of the City Campaign Yesterday bv the Prohibitionists, •f % Adopt an Independent Platform and Koniinate Robert Denny for Mayor, witk George Hoffman for City Clerk. The Prohibitionists of the city men in mass ■convention, yesterday afternoon, in the Criminal Court-room, with an attendance at first of about twenty five gentlemen and a dozen ladies. As the proceedings progressed this number was increased to seventy five, or a few more. Mr. B. F. Carter, president of the Prohibition Advisory Council for the State, calied the convention to order, and announced prayer by the Rev. Mr. Hynes. The reverend gentleman offered an ippeal for divine assistance in their deliberations. One or two of his striking periods were that they met in an upper chamber, away from the scenes of the world; they were few in number, with many against them, but they believed that God was on their side. He referred to .he influence of the liquor power, the happy homes jestroyed, the young men on the road to ruin, fcnd closed with asking a blessing upon the cause es prohibition, and also a blessing upon the press as it went abroad with its forcible moral teachings. At the close of the prayer S. P. Carl moved that B. F. Carter be the chairman of the convention, which was unanimously approved. Mr. Carter, on taking the chair, said, after returning thanks for the honor conferred upon him: "Some have expressed the opinion that a postponement of this convention until after the two great factions of the Liquor Crime party liad held their conventions, thus demonstrating to the w’orld that they would not give attention to the demands or the decent element, of their .constituency, would rebound to our success, tlpon this point I have spent much time in serious thought It has been represented, in lupport of this theory, that our brethren in Ohio have gained great advantages by such a course. This is true, but the situation in Ohio and in Indiana are essentially and widely different, from the fact that we are one year ahead of Ohio in performing our ‘first works.’ Wo completed the period of our probationary waiting on the 24th day of July, 1884, when, after repeated petitionings, prayers, ar.d representations to the dominant parties of this State, we were con Sempliously spurned from their councils, and iold to set up for oueselves. Thank God we have done so, and are now keeping house in our own home, under our own vine and fig tree, and ‘Who shall dare to make us afraid.’ Surely neither of the aforesaid wings of the liquor leage have anything to offer us as an inducejnent to change our long-settled opinions as to the enormity of the evil we are fighting, or as to Hhe falsehood and duplicity of their promises so often unredeemed. There is not a lady or gentleman present, whether a Prohibitionist or ,uot, that would or could believe either side of the Liquor Crime party in earnest if they should declare in the most emphatic manner foi absolute prohibition. Then what would we gain by waiting to seo what sort of delivery they will make on the greatest ques lion of the age—the suppression of that giant crime of crimes, the traffic in intoxicating beverages. There is absolutely no good reason for such a course, from the fact that no matter who is nominated by them, their canJidates, from the very nature of things, are bound to be dominated by the liquor crime, and jould not receive our support. On the contrary, graver reasons, in my judgment, exist why we should proceed to nominate our ticket and get into the field as soon as possible. “A movement exists which I am sorry to say some of our friends believe the wisest course to pursue, and while 1 grant them honesty of purpose and believe in their sincerity as Prohibitionists, I am compelled to disapprove their /iews. I refer to a ‘citizens’ or mixed ticket,’ an indorsement of prohibition or any other distinctive principles in particular. Something similar to our Republican party friends of Ohio, a ticket ‘without an opinion on the question of prohibition. One ticket put into the field early will probably forestall this hybrid and force the leaders and managers of the two factions of the liquor crime from under cover, out into the open field of public discussion, where they will either be forced fco join with us or be found defending the jaloons. ‘•We areanecnliar people, having hearkened fco the injunction to ‘come out from among them and be ye separate,’ to ‘be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers;’ and having put our hands to the plow, shall we turn again to the flesh pots of Egypt and again stain our souls with blood by a partnership in the traffic by supporting at the polls any one too weak or too cowardly to have an opinion on this question? I Think not. and I know you coincide with me in th is decision; then let us dismiss any idea of change of front, or postponement of our march to victory. Let the timid and fearful fail to the rear or go over to the camp of our enemies, if they will, but like Gideon’s invincible three hundred, let the true soldiers of our cause shoulder arms, and marching to the music of our grand and glorious cause, never consent to anything but unconditional surrender of the liquor league ■with both its factions —the Republican and Democratic parties.” This speech created some interest, and after the appointment of W. K Graff as secretary a motion was made to appo.nt a committee on platform. This was carried, and the committee selected by the chair consisted of R. T. Brown as chairman, with Messrs. Gates, Ross, Wilson and Munnaugh. While the committee consulted over the character of the platform, a draft of which Dr. Brown had already prepared, the Rev. Mr. Lackey was called unon by the chair to address the convention. Chairman Carter saw a gentleman whom he thought to be the Rev. Dr. Marine, and asked that gentleman to come forward and speak. There was no response, but after a very silent waiting of three or four min utes someone remarked that Dr. Marine was not in the room. The Chair—ls that not Dr. Marine sitting there? . A voice—Oh, no. that is the Rev. Mr. Lackey. The Chair—l beg pardon. lam sure, but will Mr. Lackey kindly favor us with a few remarks? Mr. Lackey responded willingly, and said that he had a great deal of experience in the prohibition work, lie acted with the party in Cleveland, and his experience taught him that many men claiming to be Prohibitionists, when the time came to act were not loyal. It was loyalty to the cause that put the Indiana Prohibitionists a year ahead of their brethren in Ohio. In this work it is all important to act quickly, so that a freat deal can be accomplished in a short time lis readings of the Bible and all histories taught him that great reforms had small beginnings, but they went on to great successes. So it will be, he thought, with prohibition. One thing to be done is for every loyal Prohibition ist to say that his principles shall he executed. It may take a long time, but the right will succeed. The lied Sea may he before them, but they will pass through. It is necessary for them to T out ‘, aside Democratic nd Republican proclivities and push an under the banner of a Prohibition ticket He did not know just how intemperance was to be wiped out, but ho believed under God it would be done. Prohibition, he said, must be made a personal matter. At this time the committee on platform came in with their report, which was read and adopted, without division, as follows: Whereas. The nroper government of cities so as to secure to the citizen protection of person and property is a problem of first importance in American puli <es, the chief difficulty in solving which is the arrogant demands of those engaged in the liquor traffic. Whereas, A national political party must necessarily consist of local jmrts distinctively identified as parts of the general party organization; therefore. Resolved. That in order to secure the reforms demanded by the National Prohibition party it is uecessarv, in a 1 municipalities and districts in which local offices are to be filled by election, and in which that party has any following, that full Prohibition tickets should be nominated, and distinct Prohibition parly organizations maintained in support of such local Sockets. Resolved, That the first step towards good government everywhere i the annihi ation of the liquor Jtowrover the legislative and administrative functions government—municipal, Mate and national. Resolved, That the Democratic and Republican par-

ties have both proved themselves nnworthy of trust, by their truckling subterviency to the demands of the liquor power. Resolved. That we demand a city government that will faithfully enforce ail the laws of the State, fund ordinances of tne City Council not inconsistent therewith, without favor or partiality: and this, neither the Democratic nor Republican party has done. Resolved. That ail combinations of persons, having for their object the resistance or nullification of existing laws, are treasonable in their character, and should receive the unqualified condemnation of all loyal citizens. K< -solved. That the r pidly growing disregard for the authority of law in this community is, in a good degree, the natural result of the subserviency of the State and city officials (including tne Metropolitan Police Board*, to the behest of a lawless and rebellious element; wr.ich subserviency should be emphatically rebuked bv the people at the polls. Resolved, That we have adopted this course of independent political action, not tor the purpose of electing nor defeating the candidates of either of the other political parties, but solely to promote good government and rebuke corruption. . R. T. Brown. Chairman. S J. Wilson, p. B. Ross, J. B. .Jaques, L. J. Munnaugh. When the platform had been disposed of, S. P. Carl, with quite a lengthy eulogimn of the gentleman's services in the interest of the Prohibition party, nominated Robert Denny, the wellknown attorney, for mayor. No other name was proposed, and the convention by acclamation nominated Mr. Denny. That gentleman said he was overwhelmed by the nomination, because he had asked that his name should not be used in the convention, as he did not feel equal tb the task of a campaign. He expressed his loyalty to the party and said that ail his life he had made it a practice to vote for deserving men. If he could find none on the several tickets, he voted for someone else who, he thought, would express his idea of reform. In conclusion he said: “1 cannot thank you for this nomination, because Ido not want it. It is a burden to undertake the work in my state of health.” However, he accepted it. George Hoffman, a young man of about thirtyone years of age. of pleasing address, but of too modest demeanor to become a politician, was nominated by acclamation for city clerk. When introduced he said that he never made a speech to so large a number, and it was only inspiration he derived for his devotion to prohibition that enabled him to say what little he had to v say. lie held no allegiance to any political party. He returned thanks for the nomination and renewed his vows to prohibition, to which he had been attached for nine years. A gentleman said that it was customary to claim that all Prohibitionists came from the Republican party, but as to Mr. Hoffman, he had been a faithful worker among the Democrats. A city central committee, with a representative from each aldermanic district and two from the citv at large, was appointed, as follows: First district, J. B. Jaques: Second, Erartus Scott; Third. Dr. Serrin; Fourth, I). B. Ross; Fifth, L. L. Munnaugh; city at large, Dr. R. T. Brown and S. P. Carl. It was proposed that an advisory committee of ladies, corresponding to the above, should be appointed by the Women's Christian Temperance Union, but Mrs. Dr. Brown said she did not think the union would do it Nearly all of its members sympathized with prohibition, but it was doubtful whether a committee as suggested could be so appointed. Last year the ladies organized the Prohibition Club, and the club appointed the advisory committee. It was then decided that the ladies should pursue that course in selecting their committee. The chairman and secretary of the convention were made exofficio members of the central committee. After several speeches, the reading of a letter from M. E. Shields, cf Louisville, Kv., relative to the progress of prohibition in that State as shown by the recent election and the adoption of a resolution congratulating the Kentucky Prohibitionists. the convention adjourned. The central committee wili meet Saturday night in room 4, No. 774 East Market street, to" organize for the campaign. The Evangelical Lutheran Synod. The Evangelical Lutheran Synod, of the Middle district, composed of Ohio and Indiana, hegan its annual session yesterday morning at Trinity Church, corner of Ohio and East* streets. About 300 ministers and laymen w T ero present. The exercises were opened by the president, Rev. 11. Schwan, of Cleveland. 0., who preached the preliminary sermon. In the afternoon Rev. H. Schwan read an address on “Mutual Aid,” directed to this district by the Michigan district. The remainder of the day was spent in axam iniug credentials, appointing committees and attending to other routine business. To-day the “Dogma of the Angels’’ will be discussed, and an address on the same subject will be read by C. Gross, after which routine business will be continued. Divine services will be held to-night at the church, Rev. C. Bralimer, officiating. The synod will be in session for a week, holding regular services morning and afternoon, and private services at night. *•. Probably Fatal Aeeldent. A special to the Journal from Seymour says that Mr. William Whitridge was struck by a switch engine on the Ohio & Mississippi road, while walking on the track, yesterdaj’ afternoon, and probably fatally injured. Mr. Whitridge, until last fall, was a resident cf Indianapolis, and was one of the oldest painters in the city. He was about eighty years old. and remained in business until incapacitated by old age. He has lately been making his home with his daughter, who is the wife of L. M. Mains, postmaster at Seymour. Burglary by a Woman. While Mrs. George Printz was away from her home, No. 70 Cincinnati street, night before last, someone broke out two or three slats of a shutter, unfastened the latch, opened the window, and walked in. When she returned she discovered that two valuable dresses, a lot of underclothing, and all of her little girl’s clothing had been carried away. From the character of the articles stolen it was thought a woman was the burglar. A Lawyer’s Claim Against a Railroad. A petition has been filed in the federal court by Augustus Kouutze and Hiram B. Crosby, the trustees of the bondholders of the Anderson, Lebanon & St. Louis railway, askine an allowance of the attArnev fees, amounting to SIO,OOO, claimed by Andrew Wesley Kend, of New York, who has been their counsel. The road was sold for about $40,000. Serious Injuries to an Aged Man. Thomas Worster, of Rushville, eighty-four years old, fell down a flight of stairs at Acton camp ground, fracturing two ribs and severely injuring his head. Dr. John A. Seim an was on the ground, and promptly went to the injured man’s relief. In consequence of his extreme ago the injuries may prove serious. Finances of the Lake Erie & Western. The report of John H. Cheny, as receiver of the Lake Erie Ac Western railway, filed in the federal court yesterday, shows that during July the earnings of the road were $70,473 32, and the disbursements amounted to $70,320.25. There is a balance on hand of $44,288,07. Choice of the Second Ward Republicans. The Republicans of the western district of the Second ward have chosen David F. Swaim as their candidate for the nominatian for Council, and it is the understanding that the western district will be allowed to name the nominee. Cannot Find Dowling. The grand jury has encountered difficulties in its endeauor to investigate the boast of Council man Dowling that he bribed members of the old Council. The sheriff reports that it is impossible to serve a subpoena on Mr. Dowling, as he cannot he found.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1885.

DELIGHTFUL DAY AT ACTON. The lecture of Rev, John Alabaster, Yesterday, on “Martin Luther.” The Results of the Illustrious Reformer's Work—William I. Marshall’s Lecture oil “The Real Switzerland of America.” Yesterday was another delightful day at Acton Park Assembly. Had the weather bureau put its entire meteorologic stock before the campers and visitors to make pick and choice, a day more to everybody’s liking could not possibly have been selected. Rev. Dr. John Alabaster deliv ered his lecture on “Martin Luther”—clear, vigorous, analytical. No lecture of the course ranks higher. He had a good audience, and the lecture was receiyed with the warmest manifestations of approbation. “The hundred years which began with the middle of the fifteenth century and closed with the middle of the sixteenth,’’ l)r. Alabaster said* “was remarkable for splendor of men ar.d their achievements. It stands in history the equal of any century that can be carved from its records. This period was ushered in by the brilliant’ invention of Guttenberg, and the first printed book, the Bible, was dawning upon the world’s civilization w ith anew day. Art, learning, religion and science passed into a period of restoration, while invention and discovery accomplished some of their most wonderful tasks. Printing epread throughout Europe, and the art of engraving on copper was tjyegur. Great universities were founded, the study of Greek was introduced into Europe, the Vatican library had birth, navigation achieved its marvels in the voyage of Diaz to the Cape of Good Hope, the subsequent exploits of Portugese, Spanish and British seamen, the circumnavigation of the globe by Magellan and the splendid enterprises of Columbus. Capernicus caught the secret of the starry worlds, and the discovery of gunpowder revolutionized the art of war. “Most illustrious of all men in that wonderful ago were the Reformers, the Savanaroias. the Zwingles, the Knoxes, who wrought out anew the great problems of man’s religious hone. In such an age did Martin Luther live and labor, and in such a century of achievement his name stands supreme, and all other deeds of its great men pale before the Lutheran Reformation. In Martin Luther is seen again that on earth there is nothing great but man; while in man there is nothing great but mind. The condition of the Church of Rome, prior to the Reformation, was one of semi paganism. From the days of Pope Gregory down to the days of Leo X corruption had followed corruption until what was left of Christianity was but a meaningless form and a gross caricature of that holy faith. The Pope swayed his scepter over all Europe as tlie vicegerent of the Son of God, while in his girdle he pretended to carry the keys of Heaven. This power was afterward exercised with great cruelty in entire contradiction to the spirit of Christ and his gospel. The church invented purgatory, with all its complicated machinery, by which to control her subjects and gain their money. There came to be a science of relics. The garments of pious munks and nuns, the bones of saints and various articles were deposited in the altars of the churches, hung up at the portals to be kissed by the faithful, or suspended on their persons as charms. All kinds of lying wonders were invented to deceive the people, and operate upon their superstition and credulity. In the cathedral at Cologne was shown the staff of St. Peter and the skulls of their Magi; at Wittenburg was shown a fragment of Noah’s ark. some soot from the furnace in which the three Hebrews were cast, a piece of the cradle of the infant Jesus, a thorn from the crown of Christ, and many other relics. At Schaffhausen was shown the breath of St. Joseph that Nicodemus received on his glove. Thus Rome deceived her votaries, enshrined these monstrous falsehoods in the altars of her great cathedrals, and kept the people in the servitude of superstition and ignorance, while in her most glorious church she allows the never ceasing kisses of men, women and children to fall upon the brazen foot of an image of Jupiter, which she declares is that of St. Peter. The popes and the Komar, priests do not marry j’et. Pope Alexander VI was the son of Dope Calixtus 111, and Alexander himself became the father of five children. The popes led the van in avarice, cruelty, lust and general sinfulness. It was apparent that a great reformation was needed, one which should revolutionize the whole church.” Dr. Alabaster then spoke of the advent of Martin Luther, and portrayed the great work done by this dauntless reformer. Luther contemplated no break with Rome. He expected that prelates and scholars would rally round the truth, and be onlv too glad to nurifv the church. He soon found his error, as Rome herself fostered the very corruptions he would cut away. However, he planted himself on the \/ord of God, and expected all to rally to that standard. “Luther’s was one of those great rugged souls that God rarely sends upon this planet. In him were combined the imperial will of a Caesar and the fervent faith of a Paul; the boldness and courage of a Knox and tlm Evangelic spirit of a Wesley; the fiery, prophetic power of an Ezekiel and the tender sympathies of a John. What then did Luther accomplish? Tho results of- the Reformation may be briefly summed up. It gave free access to the scriptures as the only rule of faith and practice; it restored the apostolic faith and freed millions from false teachings, superstitious practices and spiritual servitude; it set anew the divine seal on conscience and set aside religious persecution. It brought to the front the scriptural mode of salvation by faith and rescued Christianity from the monopoly of the priests; it released civil governments from papal tyranny, and made the experiment of civil liberty a possibility. And grander than all, for it is the core of all, the Reformation defended and maintained man’s individuality against the assumed claims of kings and popes. “It would be difficult to enumerate all the results of the Reformation. It was Luther who brought about congregational hymn singing. He gave the Germans the Bible in their own tongue. It was Luther more than any other man who may bo called the father of the German language. As there were reforms before the Reformation, so were tnere reformers after Luther, who kindled their torches at his own. It would be but a slight estimate of Luther’s work to regard it as alone a relijt ious reformation. It was that, yet far more. Fisher declares the Reformation one of tne forces in the world, one of the world changing events in modern history. “Let us not forget that what makes liberty possible is thought, anu what makes thought possible is individuality, and what makes in dividuality possible is Christianity, and that which made electric radiance . possible to Christianity was the Lutheran Reformation. It is encomium enough upon the work of Luther that it has reached the. beginning of its fifth century, with the promise of indefinite perpetuity, and it yet lives because it was of God. Whatever were the incidental causes of the Reformation, its cause supreme was God, working through the unchained Bible, and, whatever were the outward consequences of that movement, it was an event within the sphere of religion. What a divine teacher, and what a divine power in our sordid, fearful, doubting world is such a man! Kings. nobles, ecclesiastics, military heroes, scholars, w’hat are they all before such as he? You may search out the names of those in his day who wore the miter and the crown, but over earth the shutters of human thought and enterprise during four hundred years have been weaving with the fabric of our very civilization the name of Germany’s greatest son, humanity’s emancipator and God’s noble workman—Martin Luther.” In the evening William I. Marshall delivered his third lecture, “Colorado, the Real Switzerland of America,’’ illustrated by photographic views, many of them highly and artistically colored. These are shown by means of a calcium light, and are thrown greatly enlarged from a camera upon a canvas. These beautiful views showed that Colorado, tho youngest of the sisterhood of States, contains, beyond question, the grandest combination of plains and mountain scenery on the continent, its ranges and peaks being higher than those of any o’her Rocky mountain region. Its area equals the six New Eugland States and Ohio, while the achievements

in railroad building to be seen in Colorado have, except upon one railroad in Peru, no parallel in the world. THE CITY IN BRIEF. The When hand goes to Gosport to-day, to furnish the music for the old settlers’ reunion to be held there. The estimate of the new State-house contractors for work done during July, amounting to $34,160.23, was approved by the commissioners yesterday. . A satchel containing a gold watch wa3 picked up on Alabama street, near Market, a night or two ago, by the policeman on that beat. It yet waits an owner. A 6uit w;.s filed in the federal court, yesterday. by Zela Castle, of Illinois, against Thomas J. Hutchinson, of Dana, lnd., for $1,200, alleged to be due on promissory notes. Marriage licenses were issued yesterday to William Plonges and Mary Roebke, Oswald Baynes and Katie Gibbs. James K. Ball and Cressie Printzler, James T. Allen and Blanche Riggs. The “Hoorier Nest,” the excursion steamer which has been running on White river, has been removed to the waters of Broad Ripple, where it will hereafter ruu in connection with the Air line. The coroner thinks that the death of Maggie Shaw, the little daughter of George Shaw,which occurred suddenly on Tuesday evening, was the result of an injury caused by being struck on the head by a buggy, some time since. Mr. John W. Smith, a prominent business man of Cincinnati, and recently sealer.of weights and measures in that city, was called.here yesterday by the dangerous illness of his aged mother, Mrs. Jane Smith, the grandmother of the Dickson brothers. Sheriff Carter filed his July report with the county commissioners yesterday, giving the number of prisoners for that month at 287, the aggregate days of confinement in jail 2,978, and the cost of maintenance at $l,lBO. The bill was allowed. Valuable Horse and Buggy Stolen. Night before last, about 10 o’clock, a man was seen, by one of the neighbors, to drive from L. A. Gabel’s stable, in the rear of his residence, No. 824 North Pennsylvania street, his valuable horse and buggy. Nothing was thought about the affair, the presumption being that the driver had a right to possession. Yesterday morning Mr. Gabel learned of his loss. The thief pried the stable door open with a crowbar, and drove off in view of a gentleman who suffered a like loss a year ago. The horse and buggy are valued at S4OO. Tlie Work of ( lie Mall Carriers. During July the maii carriers of Indianapolis delivered 397,542 letters, 77.389 postal cards, 47.701 local letters, 40,738 local postal cards, and 199,703 newspapers. The maii matter collected by the carriers included 230,670 letters, 67,713 postal cards and 26,878 newspapers. The Belt Kailway Company Sued. The administrator of George K. Koerner’s estate, Albert Hitzelberger, yesterday filed his complaint against the Belt Railway Company, asking SIO,OOO damages. The cause of the suit is the killing of Koerner by a train on the Belt road about a month ago. THE SPORTING RECORD. Games Played by Clubs of the National League Yesterday. PHILADELPHIA SHUT OUT. Philadelphia, Aug. 5. —For the third timo within a week the Philadelphia club was to-day shut out by Chicago. In the other games of the series cf four just finished, the home club scored in but one inning, making thirty-five innings in which they were blanked by the Chicago giants. The game to-day was well played, except tho third inning, when the home players became somewhat rattled. Mulvey dropped -\n easy fly. and Farrar fumbled two batted grounders. Singles by Dalrymplo and Anson and a double by Kelly followed the errors, and with good base running, the visitors obtained five unearned runs. The run scored in the seventh was earned by Dalrymple's twobagger. a put-out and Anson’s single. As in the other games, tne Philadelphias could do very little hitting, and they secured but four safe bits off McCormick. Attendance, 1,948. Following is the score: PHILADELPHIA. I CHICAGO. R B OAF.

In the first inning, a base on balls, two hits and an error gave them two runs, and in the eighth, two errors and a hit added anotner run. The Bostons had eight men left on bases. The visitors scattered their hits through the nine innings, and profited naught by errors on the part of their opponents. Only four of them were left on bases. In the seventh Crane was hit on the arm by a pitched ball, and gave way to Weidman. Manning. Hackett and Whitney did brilliant work. Following i9 the score: BOSTON. I DETROIT.

Baltimore, Aug. s.—Connelly’s umpiring in to-day’s Baltimore-Athletic game was the most unsatisfactory that has been done here this season. Two outrageous decisions kept the home club from scoring two runs, but when, in the last half of tho ninth inning, he gave a strict interpretation of the ground rules iu reference to a ball going over a certain part of the fence, and then a close but fair decision against the visitors, when two hands were out, there was considerable wrangling, and finally Captain Stovev ordered his men off the field, and the game was given to Baltimore by the score of 9 to 0. The gamfe was marked by the heavy batting and loose fielding of the Athletics, but was interesting, and at times exciting. Following is the score: BALTIMORE. ATHLETIC.
