The Annual fleeting of Their State Association at Bethany Park Yesterday. The Indiana Ckristiau Ministerial Association met in the tabernacle at Bethany Park yesterday morning, President H. K. Pendleton, of New Albany, presiding. “Codlings in the Ministry’’ was the text for his annual address, in which he reached the conclusion that godliness consists in the right disposition of the soul towards God. 'Out of the eighteen times iho word “godliness’’ Is used in the New Testament, it is used twelve times by the apostle Paul in addressing young ministers. Godliness is the only thing that can keep a minister faithful. It makes his work acceptable.to God, and brings down the blessings of God on his labors. Many o*her points wore discussed, and ho closed with an exhortation to cultivate godliness. In the afternoon W. IT. Drapier, of Indianap oiis, was made recording secretary of the association. Other officers for the ensuing year were olectod as follows: President, H. W Everest, of Irvington; vico president, 11. O. Breaden, of Terre Haute; corresponding and statistical secretary, II King Pendleton, of New Albany; treasurer, C. V>\ 3lartz, of Indianapolis. On motion bv F>. 1 1. Van Buskirk, it was ordered that the board of officers provide some tnore elaborate work for next year—a sort of ministerial institute work for members of this association —and that they indicate some men of standing and ability to deliver lectures bearing on the work of preachers. On motion by C. P. Uendershot. of Bedford, A. R. Benton, H. W. Everest, 11. H Pritchard R T. Brown and D. R. Van Bugkirk were con stituted a committee to prepare a course of read in<r for the present year at au early day, and publish the same. Complying with a request made by a motion formally offered and adopted, David R. Van Buskirk the association on “The De sign of the Christian Ministry.” There is no office more worthy or honorable among the sons jf men, and none whose duties are more difficult lo perform, than that of a Christian minister. Frederick D. Power, late chaplain of the ijnlted States House of Representatives, who i to deliver his lecture on “The Life and Character of James G. Garfield,” and who will preach the morning sermon on Lord's Day. has arrived at Bethany Park. Rev. Dr. A. Marine, of the Central avenue Methodist Church, will deliver an address this afternoon.

THE REVIVAL IN BUSINESS. General Indications in Indianapolis of the Beginning of a Boom. The Growth of North Indianapolis and Its Prosperity—The Encouraging Reports from Manufacturers and Business Men. Every day seems to bring additional indications that the prolonged season of stagnation in business is about ended. North Indianapolis is at present enjoying a business boom and revival of trade that is quite encouraging. The town is being rapidly built up by newcomers, and the price of property has been gradually advancing. During the last year so many changes have taken place in the appearance of this suburb of the city that to one having visited it a year ago it would now seem a thriving, populous business center. The Udell woedon-ware works established there reports that business is better at the present time than for several years past Their factory employs about one hundred and twenty five men, and is constantly in operation. This month they have received, unusually large orders from San Francisco, New York, Chicago and Milwaukee, and will be forced to run the factory to its full capacity all the season in order to meet the demand tor their wares. Mr. Udell says prices have generally decreased, but business has so increase 1 that the actual profits are about the same. The establishment has agencies in New York, St. Louis, Chicago and San Francisco, besides a profitable trade in foreign countries. Largo orders of goods are shipped to South America and Australia each month. This foreign trade has kept the manufactory busy during the last two years of depression. The employes of the Udell works are especially active in building comfortable homes on their own property. The successful operation of the manufactory has aided the workingman greatly during the last few years, and has contributed materially towards building up the suburb. The indications of a revival in business seem to bo general, and in nearly ail branches of trade an improvement is reported. C. B. Lavcock & Cos., manufacturers of elevators, iron roofing, and building contractors, on l’ennsylvania street, report a very favorable outlook. .Said Mr. Laycoek: “We are fulfilling a large contract in the northern part of the State, and the other jobs offered are fully up to our expectations. They are small, comparatively, but . numerous; enough, in fact, to enable us to keep a full force at work, and on full time. The prospects for us are more favorable than they were a month ago, and much better than this time last year. The only thing we can complain of is the lowness of prices for work. They are so far down as to leave a very small margin.” Mr. Knight, of Knight A: Jillson, dealers in steam and gas-fitters’ supplies, was in a particularly good humor when asked as to the condition of business from his ground of observation. “We have no right to complain.” sai<Y he. “We were never so busy as now. We have lots of orders botn from the city and the country. Our store is full of goods, and had we double the room wo could fill it with supplies. Our business would justify it. We are putting in the steam heating pipes at the Deaf and Dumb Asylum and are about to begin work in the r.ew Catholic school-house, St. Mary's. With these, wo have an order for 50,000 feet of pipe for a large starch factory im Edinburg. Although prices are low wo are satisfied. We are hiring men every day.” Mr. Fulton, of the Machine and Steel Pulley Company, said: “Our business bus picked up greatly within the past two weeks. The general condition is much better than two years ago. Orders are coming in to us from all over the country. That shipment out there on the sidewalk is to go to Texas. We recently sent a large one to Kentucky. I mention these as instances of what wo are doing, and as ground for my statement that legitimate business is more promising just now than it has been for the past several months. I saw a dispatch to-day from ono of the largest iron syndicates in the South. It comprises six mills. The telegram stated that these mills had sold sixty days ahead of supplies, and that, while inquiries had trebled within the last throe days, iron had advanced a dollar per ton within the last two. Iron governs the markets of the world. When the metal goes up it is a sure indication of a revival in trade. Then one is safe in dealing in anything, from old rags up to assuming the largest contracts. Os course prices are low, but orders are plentiful.” At Sinker & Davis’s works it was represented that the volume of trade was better thau last year, but prices are somewhat lower. “I can say,” said the secretary of the company, “that our business is larger than at this time last season. We are meeting with a decided success in the introduction of our new mills in the pineries. The outlook is very favorable.” “They toll me that iron has gone up one dollar per ton.”

“We buy largely four or five times a year. Last week we closed a contract for a supply at a dollar less than we have paid heretofore. This contract is with ono of the largest Southern mills, represented by a Cincinnati firm. The Agent advised us to double the contract, as iron was being bought up by speculators, and would soon show a marked raise. The only complaint we have is in reference to low prices; otherwise business gives every assurance of being fully as good as that of any season short of flush times." At Hetherington & Berner's works, on South street, Mr. Berner said: “Wo have plenty to do, and several laree contracts, particularly one, pushing our establishment to the limit. We aro to supply a large lot of iron work for the Insane Hospital, and are doing all the casting for the Panhandle railroad. We have in hand the iron work for the new city hall, and our boiler business is so good that wo were compelled to refuse an order yesterday for six largo boilers, because we could not get the extra help and iron in time to till it. While prices are low, we cannot complain, as, in addition to the contracts I have mentioned, we have one to till for the new opera house in Anderson. Over there you can see men at work on six large boilers, ordered for Memphis. We have another like it to meet.” Said a gentleman, with a business rush about him, as he came into the counting room, “Can you turn out six forty-two inch steel boilers by the 4th of September*'’ Mr. Berner—We can’t do it on account of the push in other orders. Gentleman —I want to telegraph my principals to-night or to morrow morning. The money is cash the moment the boilers are put on the cars. Mr. Berner— We have this and that work to do, and I do not see how this order can be tilled by that time. Gentleman —Jf you can put them up by the 10th it will answer. The order was accepted, the telegraph put to work, both to the gentleman’s principals and to to dealers in steel sheets, for the necessary material. “We are casting every day,” said Mr. Berner, “working full time and with a full force, which will be increased by twenty men next week.” The E. C. Atkins Saw Company, on South Illinois street, has a large number of orders to .meet- “Business with us,'i said the manager, “is better than last year, and the prospects are brighter. In some lines we are crowded with orders. Wo are running a full force, compared with the number we have had at work the past two years. Os late we have been operating the works at night, it is probable that wo will increase the force, but not to any great extent The demands upon us through St. Louis jobbers are twice as large as those of any preceding year. Prices are low, but we are satisfied with what we are doing.” An Insurance Company’s Alleged Deception. An agent of the Mutual Lifo and Endowment Association represented to Margaret Burroughs, -ho allege- in a complaint filed yesterday, that the association had the power to do a loan business. She subscribed for livo shares, and paid 3“veral installments on them, until she discovered that the association was incorporated only to insure lives ou the assessment plan. The

agent said, she states, that it was a building association, as well as one for life insurance. Her suit is to recover the amount paid by her under these alleged misrepresentations. MORE ABOUT GARDINER. His Account of His Movements Since His Escape from the Danville Jail. B. F. Gardiner, who escaped from the Danville jail last spring while serving a sentence for using the mails for fradulent purposes, and who was arrested in St. Louis on Wednesday, will probably be brought back to Indianapolis to-day. The St. Louis Republican yesterday contained nearly a column regarding his operations in that city, In an interview with a reporter of tiie Republican, speaking of his escape from the Danville jail, lie says: “I did not bribe the sheriff, nor anyone else. ’)r I had no money with which to do so, even if 1. could have succeeded in having him take the money. Through the negligence of one of the attendants, who placed too much confidence in my willingness to remain a prisoner, the keys of my cell and the jail were left within my reach. Anxious to get money for my family, maddened by long restraint, and smarting under the feeling that I was imprisoned withbut cause, T made my escape and went to Cincinnati. There, through the perfidy of a newspaper man, who owed bis position to me, I was forced to seek and boll cover until a pass to St. Louis was given me. 1 arrived here about June 1, without a cent in my pocket, After having been knocked about from pillar to post, having slept anywhere that I could find a place to stretch my length in peace, I met a man by the name of Atkinson, who was employed on the Sunday Sayings. He helped me to the extent of occasionally giving me a fivecent meal at a soup house, and treated me to the expensive luxury of a steamboat excursion on which I met Mrs. Hattie Schwab, as pure anu honest a woman as ever lived. I escorted her home that night, and she asked me to call upon her. When Mrs. Sehaw learned of my conditian she commiserated my plight and offered to let me have SSOO which she had received as the insurance in a benevolent society upon the life of her husband. 1 at first refused to take this, hut, being repeatedly pressed by her to accept the money, finally took it, putting it into business for her benefit, and working in her interest always. I never promised to marry her unless 1 should become a widower, for I told her that I was a married man. Passing along Olive street one day 1 noticed the stamp and minnetto photographs, and thought I could make some money by advertising them and selling them. I made arrangements with Hurl but, the proprietor of the photographs, and began to advertise them extensively. I sunk SIOO dollars in doing this and did not receive ten cents in return. 1 then began teaching tho art of electroplating, and consulted an attorney as to its legitimacy. I was told that it was perfectly legal, and I went on with it. A man who had known me in Cincinnati told Erskine of my escape from jail, and that I was wanted at Indianapolis. I did not attempt to bribe Erskine, but last Saturday night, when in conversation with him, I said that since he was working for somebody and would get something for his work, I asked how much he would take to work for me. The next day I wrote tho letter to the po3toffiee inspector, and. receiving no answer to it, 1 went into cover. I shall turn in all the money I have, and assign ail my property to Mrs. Schwab before lam back to Indianapolis.” The Cincinnati Enquirer yesterday contained the following regarding Gardiner: “Gardiner is well known iu this city, where he worked some time as a reporter on the Penny Post. He deserted his wife, and his two children are now in the Infirmary in this city. He is a scoundrel of the meanest kind. Leaving this city, he went to Indiana, and was convicted in the United States Court at Indianapolis. He escaped from jail by breaking the confidence of the jailer, who did not lock him up in a cell. Gardiner will be taken back to Indiana at once to serve out his time. His statement that the keys were put into his ceil intentionally bus been proved to be a lie.”

The Gills Assaulted by Burris. The two young girls assaulted last Thursday, at White-river bottoms, by Daniel Burris, were Ella Porter, aged eleven, residing at No. 057 West Vermont street, and Katie Enry, aged thirteen, No. 053, same street. Burris proves to be the son of the Burris woman now in the Reformatory for attempting to black-mail Ilarvey Stout. Two Years for Horse Stealing.
