A MILD AND GENTLE FIGHT. Sullivan and McCaffrey Go Through the Motions According to ltule, Ami Sir Allied Rounds Are Fought Without First Wood or a Knock-Down—The Victory Awarded to Sullivan. [From Our Second Edition of Sunday.] Cincinnati, Aug. 29.— Tho sparring match fwtween John L. Sullivan and Dominick McCaffrey, this afternoon, did not attract so great a member ot people as had been expected. At 4 •’clock, when it was thought the match would begin, there were not more than five thousand people at Chester Park. The audience were not ill-behaved, nor did they manifest impatience at the delay iu opening the exhibition. It was 4:90 o'clock when the preliminary boxing began. The platform for the match was set in tho middle of the track, between the two stands, and was thirty feet square and five feet from the ground. "The inner ring of twenty-four feet square was marked by three ropes around eight posts, which ■woto padded on the inside. The spectators were admitted to a rope within twenty feet of the platform, and, besides, filled the stands, the feoee. and all other available points. An ample police force prevented any breaking of rope.s. from 4:90 til 5 o’clock the time was spent in • onuiber of short boxing contests that served to keep the attention of the crowd, and to even •waken enthusiasm, when one man was knocked senseless on tin? ropes. It kept the attention ec closely that John L. Sullivan xna not observed pushing his way to the platform, and was not recognized until he mounted it, when there was a brief burst of applause. Ho wore silk armor over his chest, but Ms arms were bare. Ills cream colored tights were encircled with a green sash. Ho was accompanied by liis seconds, Arthur Chambers and Torn Deloy, who went to his corner. Ten minutes Inter. Wm. Muldoon. master of ceremonies, made a formal call for McCaffrey, or for some friend to go after him. A cheer was the response, and a carriage appeared with the other contestant. McCaffrey was received with wild bursts of enthusiasm. He seemed to be in perfect physical condition. lie was attired the same * Sullivan, except that his flesh-colored tight3 were encircled by a maroon sash. Considerable time was spent in choosing a referee. Conferences between Messrs. Lunt and O’Brien, McCaffrey’s seconds, and those of Sullivu were held. William Tate, of Toledo, 0., was called tor. but he declined. Subsequently lie reconsidered and accepted, and at 5:21 the men shook hands, and the first round began amid almost breathless stillness. McCaffrey made the first lead, but Sullivan •topped him easily, and iu the cautious work which followed both succeeded in getting in plight Mows. McCaffrey ducked to avoid a heavy blow, and, as he arose, struck wildly at Sullivan, and was pressed to the ropes, where he fell to his knee. I-tisincr. they clinched, Sullivan managing to give McCaffrey alight blow as they did so. This was repeated, and the round closed. Second Round —There was but a minute’s breathing spell. Sullivan opened the fighting this time by a blow which McCaffrey artfully •vaded. McCaffrey then made u fierce drive at Sullivan, which he dodged gracefully, but McCaffrey gave him a resounding tap on the back of the neck as he recovered, which started a chorus of cheers. Another of the same kind set McCaffrey’s admirers wild. A clinch followed. Sullivan getting another blow on McCaffrey. He then pushed McCaffrey to the ropes, where danger seemed imminent, but McCaffrey slipped •way. and the men went to their corners. Third Round—This was* the worst for McCaffrey. lie struck out for Sullivan, but to no purpose, and in the quick work that followed. McCaffrey sipped down. Sullivan then began to push McCaffrey, and the latter took up the tactics of running awav, but finally made a stroke which Sullivan easily eluded. Quick as thought Sullivan closed on McCaffrey and pressed him down. Growing apparently vicious, he drove McCaffrey towards his own corner, and pushed him down across tho ropes. Here some one called •‘time,” and many thought the round bad closed, but the referee told the men to go on, and they did, Sullivan driving McCaffrey over to his own corner, where the latter fell, •ilher by Sullivan’s Mow. or tripping against a chair, and slipped almost off the platform. McCaffrey was more cautious, and closed with Ballivao, each delivering short-range blows of no force. After McCaffrey was pressed down a second lime, the time expired. Fourth Round—Sullivan opened this round svith a blow on McCaffrey’s jaw. It looked as if McCaffrey’s powers wero waning, while Sullivan was apparently fresh. McCaffrey made no ventures, hut continually clung to Sullivan. Sullivan managed to reach tho side of McCaffrey’s xioeo and to bring a show of blood. Tho round ended with another fall bv McCaffrey, though the blow was not claimed as a knock down. Fifth R und—Both men seemed willing to be careful. They played with each other for a while, when McCaffrey cot a iight blow in on Sullivan. Then Sullivan attacked, but McCaffrey ran away, and the latter returned to the attack, which Sullivan escaped by his favorite method of ducking. After more play with no work, the time expired. Sixth Round—Sullivan now seemed desperate, thou2ii it was apparent that he was growing WMry while McCaffrey was fresher. Sullivan closed, rmd they gave a numberof in blows, and ••pnrated. Sullivan kept pushing his adversary •round, and when near the ropes, they clinched •mi both fell. Rising. Sullivan closed again, but ibis time McCaffrey got away without a fall, and delivered a light blow on Sullivan, who sent a terrific blow back, but McCaffrey ducked and escaped, and the time of the sixth round expin<L instantly there was a shout all over the vast crawd, which by this time seemed to have • wefled to 7.000. in honor of McCaffrey, whom they all supposed had won the match. He had ■rtood up before Sullivan six rounds, and seemed able and willing to go on to a finish. He warn overwhelmed with congratulations, while Sullivan was left to be cared for by his adage attendants only. As the crowd understood the terms, it was a draw, and thus a virtual victory for the young Pittsburg boxer. But after some time, when three fourths of the people had started for the trains, and while the reminder were in loud discussion of the merits of the match. Mr. Muldoon made an announcement, which only a few heard, that the referee had decided to give the match to Sullivan, on the ground that he had made the greater number of points. This announcement was wholly inaudible at the press sea's, and various versions of it were circulate.!, among others that it was given because of a foul. Sullivan left the platform with no demonstrations in his honor, but McCaffrey's friends were jubilant, notwithstanding the referee’s adverse decision, and they lifted him to tlx-ir shoulders and bore him. amid the cheers of •p*-n!atr,rs, to Ids carriage. The decision was decidedly unpopular, probably owing to the doubtful understanding of the terms. It was generally supposed that Sullivan was to knock McCaffrey out in six rounds or less in order to win. and McCaffrey himself stated, after the match was over, that he thought so. He even wanted to go on to a finish, but that was impos ni*!e. as Sullivan had left the platform. Being •sked if there was any ground for a claim of foul in that he had kicked Sullivan, he replied that there was none whatever. On the contrary, he •aid, at one time, when Sullivan was getting up from their fall and had his batkAo him, one of Sullivan’s triends cried, “Ijook out, John!" but ho told them not to be concerned, ns he did not want to take any undue advantage. McCaffrey himself feels that he is the virtual winner. He fought at 165 pounds: Sulliuan at 205 lie stood up through six rounds, and was willing to contiaue. There wero not wanting persons who decried the exhibition as a poor one. Sullivan did not deliver one full blow. McCaffrey probably •ggregated ns man hits as Sullivan, but bis lighter weight made him appear weak in comparison with his antagonist. There is no ques tion that the popular vote would have been do vidbdly in Ins favor. While the spectators were generally well.behaved there were several fights, •nd one that caused a general stampede, but Without serious result. One of these contests took |>laoe on the edge of tho platform, just after

tho fight wag over. It was between McCaffrey’s brother and Arthnr Chambers, but as tho rush of men to the spot broke the platform down, the contest was ended. CONDITIONS OP TIIE FIGHT. The conditions of this contest were prepared by Mr. O’Brien, McCaffrey’s friend, and sent hero to the manager of the Chester Park Athletic Club. They were that McCaffrey agreed to meet Sullivan here in a glove contest of six rounds or to a finish, scientific points to be considered, the winner to take the gato receipts, less the share allowed to the manager. When the agreement reached Sullivan he disapproved of the clause about scientific points, and the agreement was closed upon the conditions thus amended. When the referee took his place to day, he did not ask for the agreement, nor did any one produce it. That official merely stated that it was for a sixround glove contest for the championship of the world. When the six rounds were ended, Mr. Muldoon, master of ceremonies, called on the referee for his decision. The referee said, but in a tone to be heard only by those nearest to him on the platform: “I decide that all through the contest Mr. Sullivan has had the best of it; besides that, on one or two occasions when McCaffrey went down, he struck Sullivan on the leg.” Mr. Muldoon then made the public announcement that the referee gave his decision in favor of Sullivan. He did not repeat the reasons for the decision. 1 here was no claim of foul on behalf of Sullivan, by himself, or any one for him, and the referee did not at the time call attention to it The decision, therefore, seems to turn upon the scientific points, the very thing which Mr Sullivan would not agree to. The whole matter of conditions is in a muddle — no two persons understanding them the same way. Suiiivan appeared none the worse this evening. Upon being asked his opinion of McCaffrey he said: “I don’t care to say much about him. He has made a great deal of newspaper talk about wanting to stand up blow for blow, and is a pretty clever fellow; but if to day’s prize-fight had been under the London prize-ring rules. I would have knocked him out in t he second round.” Continuing, the pugilist remarked: ‘T am about done with fighting, anyhow. I have whipped every man they have brought across the water, nd am not running around after anew man to fight.’’ Sullivan, in speaking of the referee’s decision, said: ‘Tie gave me the fight because I had the best of it. McCaffrey fouled me two or three times, and acted a? if he were trying to get me to foul him.” McCaffrey presented an excellent appearance to-night. He did not have much to say about to-day’s contest, but his manager, Billy O’Brien, displayed a receipt for SIOO forfeit money now in the hands of Harry Weldon, for a prize-fight with bare knuckles, with John L. Sullivan, time and place to be hereafter arranged. Both McCaffrey and his manager expressed confidence in the ability of the young Pittsburger to down the champion in the futuro encounter. Later.—McCaffrey’s challenge to Sullivan, referred to in to-night’s dispatches, is for $2,500 and the championship of the world. Bare knuckles are to be the rule, the fight to be continued to a finish. It is to take place in Wyoming or in any other place where it will not be interferred with, and it is to be fought within three months after the signing of the articles. Sullivan’s Liberal Proposition. Cincinnati Aug. 30.—1n his challenge of last night to John L. Sullivan for a fight with bare knuckles, Dominick McCaffrey proposed to put up the same amount as his adversary. To-night Sullivan issued a challenge for a fight to a finish, with or without gloves, to take place inside of three weeks, at a private place. As to the stakes, Sullivan offers to put up $5,000 to McCaffrey’s $3,000 that he will whip him. The man and money are at Sullivan’s saloon, Grand Operahouse building, this city. The Referee Has Not Yet Decided. Toledo. 0., Aug. 30.—Concerning the Sullivan McCaffrey mill, the Commercial Telegram will say, to-morrow morning, that referee*Tare was seen late last night and questioned as to his decision at Cincinnati, on Saturday. He has made no decision. He thinks Suiiivan had the best of the fight so far as fighting points were concerned, but if tho Boston man was to knock out McCaffrey in six rounds, as the latter claims, he did not win. as McCaffrey came up smiling after every round. He has not seen the agieement as yet. under which they fought, and cannot, iu consequence, render a decision. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications.

THE INDIANA POLOS JOURNAL, MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 18S5,

AFFAIRS OF TOE RAILWAYS. m •' Personal and Local* Commissioner Doherty, of the east bound pool, is expected home from Cincinnati this morning. W. B. Kuiskern has been appointed assistan t general passenger agent of the Chicago & X orthwestorn road. The pay of section men and car inspectors on the I. & St L. road, it is stated, will be reduced--10 per cent, commencing with Sept. 1. John Browning, passenger conductor on the L., N. A, & C., has been confined to the house for a few days by illness, but is improving. W. F. Knowles has been appointed New England agent of tho California fast-feight line, with office at No. 211 Washington street, Boston. Business is beginning to improve handsomely with the C., 1., St L. &C. road. Last week 3,199 loaded cars were hauled on the main line. Live stock traffic, more especially through business, is lighter, and has been the last four weeks, than in the month of August in either of five years past. The resignation of Geo. W. Sanborn as superintendent of the lowa and Dakota division of the Chicago, ‘Milwaukee & St Paul Railway Company is announced. Itean Campbell, of Cincinnati, has been appointed in charge of transportation at New Orleans for the Northern, Central and South American Exposition. Passenger as well as freight traffic, over the Tj.. N. A. C. Air line, is showing a handsome improvement, and the C., H. & D. people begin to appreciate the Air line as a connection. E. A. Schrader, traffic manager of the Illinois Midland road, writes from Marquette that since his arrival there his hay fever has all disapeared, and he will return to business in a few days. Robert Blee. superintendent of the Cincinnati & Columbus division of the Bee-line, and Gaylord Beach, chief engineer, who have been in Europe some three weeks, sailed for home on Saturday. A freight agency has been established at Wagoners, Ind., on the Detroit and Indianapolis division of the Wabash railway, with T. H, Jameson as agent. Freight shipment for this point may be received without requiring prepayment in future. Some three hundred car-loads of block coal are now shipped daily from the Clay county coal mines. Thirteen railroads, as well as numerous manufacturing companies scattered over this and adjoining States, now use "olockcoal for their locomotives and engines. The rive Western roads last week brought in 4,003 loaded cars, as follows: 1., D. & S. 237; 1., B. & W.. 717: C., 1.. St. L. & C., 788; I. & St. L,. 1.021; Vandalia, 1,140. The same roads brought in 4,489 loaded cars in the week ending Aug. 22; decrease last week, 48G cars. The Indianapolis & St. Louis people this week will receive twenty miles of steel rails from a Pennsylvania mill. The new rails placed in their track for a couple of years past have been from the Cleveland mills. These were purchased for a test of durability beside the Cleveland rail. The refrigerator cars run In carrying dressed meats from St. Louis to New England over the Bee-line and its usual connections are equipped with a coupler with which cars can be coupled from the top or at the side of the cars without going in between the cars, and it works admirably, and is not an expensive arrangement. The five principal Eastern lines forwarded from this point last week 3,957 loaded cars, as follows: Bee-line, 1,312; C., 1.. St. L. & C., BGG; 1.. B. & W„ 864; C\, St L, & P., GCG; C., H. & 1., 249. In the week ending Aug. 22, the Bee-line forwarded 1,785: C.. 1., St. L. & C-. 927; 1., B. W„ 87G; C., St. L. & P„ G 32: C., H. & I„ 233. It will be seen that there were 49G less loaded cars forwarded East last week than in the preceding week, tho Bee-line showing the largest falling off. Eclipse All Predecessors. The Pullman Car Company is building somo elegant sleeping coaches, to be put on to run between New England and Washington over the Pennsylvania and New York & New England roads. The first one, the “Ticinus,” is said to bo richer in its appointments and more complete in its many details of comfort than any other devoted wholly to public use. It has ten sections, beside a drawing room and smoking room. It differs from its predecessors, however, in tho style of decoration, which is both unique and elegant The ceiling is ornamented in cold and silver leaf peculiarly treated. Ine panelsovernead making the divisions between the sections are in bronze plush. In the berth fronts embossed plush and old gold with hand-painted flowers, is substituted for marquetry, witn finely-selected mahogany. The embossed plush decoration is also applied to the bulk heads and other conspicuous places ;n the car. Another very striking feature is tho highbacked seats, with extra wide cushions and spring edges. The effect at the bulkheads is heichtened by the use of mirrors framed in antique brass. The seat coverings are in bronze cold, instead of the usual maroon color. The drawing-room is very sumptuously decorated and arranged, with a novel feature in the sliding cylinder top to the wash-stand, which can be opened and closed at will, and when not in use as a lavatory, forms a handsome cabinet. The smoking-room is finished in English oak, with richly embossed leather trimmings. The doors of both the drawing room and smoking room are fitted with beveled plate glass of unique design. The arrangement of the wash stand at the gentlemen's end of the car is abo changed from the usual plan. The general effect is striking and luxurious, and at the same time is harmonious and in good taste. The length of the car body is sixty five feet two inches. A magnificent portiere of sky blue velvet plush adds greatly to the general effect. The car has the usual buffet and electric bells at each berth to call the porter. Will Bea Rival of'tlie C. &K. I. Unquestionably it is the intention of the syndicate which proposes to Uuy in the Chicago & Great Southern road at the coming sale to extend the road to the coal mines of Clay county. In speaking of this extension the Terre Haute Gazette says: Very little is knpwn hereabouts of the Chicago &; Great Southern road, whose contemplated southern terminus is Brazil and northern, of course, is Chicago, The road uses the L.. N. A. & C. track to Fair Oaks, a distance of sixty two miles from Chicago, and has been completed through Attica to Yeddo, a distance of seventy-six miles further. It is now operated between Yeddo and Chicago. There remains but about forty miles to bui.d to Brazil. It is said that this will be d< ne at once, and that parties interested in the road are buying up extensive coal fields near Brazil with the intention of owning their own mines. The line runs from Attica through Newton, Benton. War ren. Fountain. Parke and Clay counties. It will be seven miles shorter to Chicago from Brazil than the C. <fc E. 1., and will be a great rival of the latter, and also of the Vandalia, which reaches Chicago via the Logansport division, on coal traffic. “Our Chicago coal traffic,” 6aid Mr. R. A. Campbell, “from the Brazil district is amounting to about seventy cars per day, at nearly S2O per car. or $1,400 p*-r day. Os course the new road will cut into this seriously. At Brazil it will meet President Mackey's proposed extension from Worthington.” Last-Round Rates to Go to Pieces Again. Freight men and shippers are all at sea again. On Saturday rates on grain and provisions went off five cents per 100 pounds at Chicago, and as a result there was some shading of rates at Indianapolis, but not in so open-handed manner. Indianapolis freight agents deserve credit for having restored and maintained rates, as they undoubtedly did last week up, to Saturday. Shippers had just begun to shape up matters to do business at the restored rates, and now conies a break, and they are at sea. not knowing how long shaded rates will be given, and not knowing but they may go still low**r. The shippers, as well as the better eiass of freight men. look upon this last disturbance in rates as unfortunate, and the impression is growing that this suicidal method of doing business is not to stop until a majority of

til© roads are bankrupt, or bought in by two or three of the more important roads between the Mississippi river and the seaboard. Today, unless there is a prompt restoration of rates at Chicago, a general demoralization in rates will follow at St Louis, Peoria and Indianapolis. A Continued Heavy Freight Movement. The train records show that last week a total of 21.308 cars were received and forwarded at this point, of which number 16.045 were loaded, against a total of 20,638 ears handied in the week ending Aug. 22, of which number 16,180 were loaded cars. So it will be seen that while in the total movement there was an increrse of G7O cars, in the movement of loaded cars there was a decrease of 125 cars, while as compared with the movement of loaded cars the corresponding week 1884 there is an increase shown of 206 loaded cars. The exhibit of last week, all things considered, is certainly a favorable one. as it should be borne in mind that with the restoration of east bound rates and the expiration of old contracts there would be naturally a falling off in the shipments in that direction, which was the case; but the improvement in west-bound business and the traffic over north and south roads made up the deficit in eastbound tonnage. Then, again, a scarcity of cas, more or less, caused a decrease: hut there is a good healthy volume of freights moving. With the east and west lines so evenly is business balanced in both directions that with tne rates maintained the roads will realize something above operating expenses on business carried. Through cars are moving a little slow, as they are loaded both ways. When there is no merchandise, such as dry goods and groceries, they are loaded with anthracite coal, and are frequently delayed more than they should be by consignees being siow in unloading them. North and south roads are doing better than at any time for some months, and local business is considerably ahead of that of the corresponding period. 1884. Below we give the number of cars received and forwarded at this point iu the week ending Aug. 29, 1885, and the corresponding week of 1884: 18851 1884.

The cross-ties of the Rome & Carrollton railroad are to be heart pine. The Cincinnati Southern railway will run a through sleeper from Chattanooga to Louisville on and after Sept. 1. The merchants along the line of the New York Central and West Shore roads who have for a year enjoyed special pro rata freight rates, have been notified of the abolition of the same. A large invoice of steel rails was recently received for the Alabama division of the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia railroad, which will he laid as soon as they are distributed along the line of the road. A reduction of 1 cent per pound in the freight rate on hops from the Pacific coast to eastern points has been made by all transcontinental roads. The old rate was 3 cents. The new rate goes into effect Sept. 2. The Central lowa’s traffic contract with the Chicago Burlington & Quincy, by which the latter becomes its Chicago connection, taking freight from Keit.hsburg. is understood to be working well. The company is also doing an east-bound business over its Peoria line. As matters now stand the Pennsylvania people need not be in haste to secure possession of the South Pennsylvania road. Construction is sus pended for the present at all events, and there is no probability that the road will he built to compete with the Pennsylvania road for many years to come, whatever its ultimate fate may bo. Superintendent Egan, who has just returned to W innipeg from a tour of inspection over the Canada Pacific railroad line, extending as far as the termination of the track in the Selkirks, reports everything in a satisfactory condition. Between the two termini of the line a gap of only 125 miles remains to be laid, and i&cannot take very long to fill that in. As an evidence of the greatly increased travel from the East to California during the past season, Sam Miller, the tourist agent of the Southern Pacific company, has reported that while in past years from $3,000 to $4,000 has been consid ered a good return from the stage travel into the Yosemite during July, last July the travel by the Madeira stage line amounted to over $7,000. The New York Central Sieeping-car Company has just furnished the Lake Snore & Michigan Southern railway, to run through from Boston to Chicago,, four sleeping cars which are pronounced by competent judges to be the most luxurious, elegant and comfortable cars ever seen on any roaa in this country. These cars are named “Lochinvar,” “Marmion,” “St. Albans” and “Grenada," and will run over the Boston & Albany, New York Central and Luke Shore 6a Michigan Southern railroads. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company has sent out a little pamphlet of eight pages, which describes tn trip from Chicago to San Francisco over its short lino and connections, the Union Pacific railway and the Central Pacific railroad. The little book mentions many of the numerous important places aiong this route*, and it indicates briefly and in a satisfactory manner what the accommodations and attractions for the traveler are. A running colored bird’s-eye view map at the tops of the pages shows the comparative altitude of the many cities and points of interest. The distance from Chicago to San Francisco by this route is 2,355 miles, and the time consumed in making tho trip four and one-half days.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL NEW ANNOUNCEMENT. THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL s s reoognized everywhere as the leading newspaper of Indiana. No proper expense is spared io maintain this undisputed excellence and to increase the value and interest of the paper. THE JOURNAL was never so well equipped to serve the public. Our arrangements for the collection of the news of the day are more complete than over, and we have added soms special features which must enhance'tke pop* ularity of the paper. THE JOURNAL is the only paper in Indiana that prints regularly the full reports of the Western Associated Press, which are now more comprehensive than ever, covering tho whole world. These dispatches are supplemented by the work of special correspondents at all the principal cities and towns of tht State and of the county at large. Wo have a special resident representative at Washington City, who looks after the news of the national capital with vigilance, paying particular attention to that which most nearly concern* THE JOURNAL’S constituency. The fulL est and most reliable intelligence from Washington will be presented in our news free from party bias, impartially, and without restraint. Editorially THE JOURNAL is a Republican paper, believing in the principles and general policy of the Republican party; but it recognizes that the day of blind party orgaaship has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly free to criticise and condemn, but in a spirit and with a purpose for good, having a proper regard for personal rights and reputations. The citizen, whatever his political faith, can be assured of seeing in the columns of THfl JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation of the news, and in its editorial coltfpns such comment and strictures as will command his respect if they do not meet his approval. It may also bo said that THE JOURNAL is published as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. It recognizes that the women and the children are to be instructed and entertained. They will always find in its columns matter specially prepared for them, while the paper will be so conducted as to prove a welcome visitor in the household. The news will be presented in such shape as to minimize the evil, and it* editorial and local columns will bo kept fra* from moral taiut. The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is admittedly the freshest, fullest and most accurate printed by any newspaper in tlio country. SPECIAL FEATURES. By a special arrangement with the authors the INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL began with the present year the publication of a series of original stories from the pens of the most noted writers in the country, such as W. D. Howells, J. T. Trowbridge, E. P. Roe, T. JB. Aldrich, Frank R. Stockton, Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson, Sarah Orne Jewett and others of equal celebrity. This series is now being printed in the Saturday edition. The JOURNAL OF MONDAY of each week prints a special report of the sermon of Rev. Dr. Talmage, of the Brooklyn Tabernar ole, preached the previous day—which sermon is not published in other papers of the Stat* until the following Sunday. This is only on* feature showing the excellence of the Journal’s arrangements for the prompt publication of news. In the SUNDAY JOURNAL are printed a series of original stories written by the most celebrated authors of the world. Wo receive theso stories direct from England, by a special arrangement with the writers. We have already published stories by “Ouida,” William Black, Mrs. Oliphant, Joseph Hatton and Miss M. E. Braddon, and are now printing a series of three short stories, written by the late Hugh Conway. THE SUNDAY JOURNAL Is a paper of twelve pages, sold for five cents. The SUNDAY JOURNAL reaches every tow* and city in Indiana and the surrounding territory. The circulation ot the Sunday edition ic the largest and best of any Sunday paper printed in Indiana, and it has made itself the People’* Paper. The SUNDAY JOURNAL iswithoufc competitor in the State in the character and variety of matter it presents its readers. Th best writers in the State aud country freely contribute to its columns. In its enlarged aad improved form it is absolutely without* rival or peer. TDK INDIANA STATE JOURNAL (WEEKLY EDITION) Is the best secular paper published in th® State. It is a complete compendium of th* news of the week, with special features of lat* and trustworthy market reports, and a department of industrial and agricultural intelligence carefully prepared by an editor of long experience. In these respects the WEEKLY JOURNAL is superior to any merely agricultr, ural paper, for the field it covers is infinitely more extensivo than that which can be occupied by any special class publication. SPECIAL TERMS Are rnado to agents and canvassers, and fa* clubbing with other papers. For all detail* address the publishers, JNO. C.
