RELIGIOUS MATTERS. Proceedings of the Northwest M. E. Conference—The Godfrey Case Disposed Os. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Frankfort. Sept. 4.—The meetings of yesterday afternoon and last night were largely attended. Dr. Spencer took the place of Dr. Thoburn, and was at home even on the subject of the work of women in missions. An interesting part of the programme was a solo, “The Hindoo Child-Widow,” sung by Mrs. Emma Whitcomb, of Clinton. The Lord’s Prayer waa repeated in the Bulgarian language by Rev. Wesley Prettyman, in the Japanese language by Rev. W. C. Davidson, and in the Spanish language by Rev. Joseph Wood, of South America. Mrs. A. C. McKenzie, corresponding i.ecretary, read the annual report. At night the house was overcrowded to hear Dr. W. A. Spencer, who, for popularity, is rivaling the eloquent and soul-stirring McCabe. This morning, after the conference prayermeeting, the bishop began the session of the day. A resolution was adopted by a large majority asking the bishop to make seven instead of five districts. The committee on the case of Dr. Samuel Godfrey, of Lafayette, reported that he had made proper acknowledgements to the church authorities where he belonged, and that the conference bad no need of farther action. His parchments were restored to him. The trouble was of a domestic nature, which has been amicably settled. When other minor business had been transacted the bishop called, for the reports from the elders regarding the ministers in their districts. The five districts were reported, and the ministers reported their collections for missions and also for the conference claimants. It was a dextrous piece of executive ability on the part of the presiding officer, and redeemed him from the criticisms of slowness that had been heard among the ministers. A number of ministers were introduced, among them Dr. John, of DePauw University, and Dr. Thoburn, of India; also, Mrs. Dr. Rust, who spoke in behalf of the borne mission work. The announcements were made for Sunday. Bishop Merrill, Dr. John and Dr. Thoburn will speak morning, afternoon and night in the Methodist Church. The Rev. W. McKendree Darwood will preach at night in the Presbyterian Church, and other ministers will fill all the pulpits of the town. Among the prominent laymen present are David Meharry, Alex. Meharry and I. N. Meharry, of Shawnee Mound; E. G. Hogate, of Danville; Mr. Creed, of South Bend; Samuel Meharry, of Lafayette; Dr. J. C. Ridpath, of Greencastle, and many others. To-night an educational •meeting was held, at which Drs. John and Ridpath delivered addresses. Reunion of Christian Churches. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Plainfield, Sept. s.—The seventh annual reunion of the Christian churches of this county is in session here. The attendance is large and delegations are present from every church in the county. A few noted ministers of the church are present, and are taking an active interest in the proceedings. The meeting was opened on Friday night with an address by Rev. A. I. Hobbs, of Louisville. Kv., on the subject of “The International Sunday-school Idea.” On Saturday, at 10 a. m., A. J. Frank, of Greencastle, gave an interesting talk on ‘Sunday-school Work,” which caused considerable discussion. Rev. A. I. Hobbs lectured at 2:30 the same afternoon on “What We Teach.” The reports from churches and Sunday-schools were then heard. Last night Rev. Ira J. Chase, of Danville, Republican nominee for Congress from this district, delivered an entertaining and highly-instructive address on the subject of “Wa3 Christ More than Man?” The Sundayschool, this morning, led by Rev. A. J. Frank, was large. The sermon of Rev. A. I. Hobbs, at 10 a. m. to-day, on “What and How to Preach,” was listened to by a very large audience. The discourse was a masterly effort, and was highly appreciated by those who heard it. Communion services were held at 2 o’clock this afternoon, led by Rev. U. C. Brewer, of Crawfordsville. The reunion closes to-night with a parting sermon by Rev. A. I. Hobbs. ’**

Comments on the President’s Messages— Facts for Union Veterans to Study. Washington Special. N. Dumont, of Washington, has collected and published in a volume of 350 pages the 101 pension veto messages of President Cleveland, together with the bill and the report of the Senate or House committee in each case. Following each message are sharp, crisp comments thereon by Mr. Dumont, who is a lawyer and a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. In many.cases the comments contain pertinent citations from opinions of the Attorney-general of the [Jnited States relating to the equities of pension claims and administration. In a letter to the author Department Commander Burke, of the Grand Army of the Republic, writes of the book as follows: “It puts before the country both sides of the question in such a way and with all the data that the country can understand. I commend it because I believe it will so enlighten the public and their representatives that it will result in justice to all worthy soldiers and widows thereof who soek relief at the hands of Congress.” One of the veto messages relates to the claim of James Carroll, who enlisted in January, 1865, in the Third North Carolina Mounted Volunteers (Union) and was wounded soon afterward. The command in which he enlisted was composed of loyal men, recruited in North Carolina, in a region which was the theater of frequent combats between tho Unionists and rebels. In one of these engagements- Carroll received a gunshot wound while the detachment to which he belonged was resisting an attack by a body of rebel “Home Guards.” He received the wound before he had been regularly mustered into the United States service. In his veto message the President said: “This is undoubtedly true, and that the claimant was injured by a gunshot is also true. He was not. however, at the time regularly in the United States service, but this objection might in some circumstances be regarded as technical. The difficulty is that the fact that he was creditably employed in a service of benefit to the country is not satisfactorily shown. * * * After an investigation made at the time by a special examiner, he reported that Perkins and Carroll had collected a number of men together, who made their headquarters at the home of Carroll’s mother, and wore engaged in plundering the neighborhood; and that, on account of their depredations, they were hunted down by home guards and shot at the time they stated. If this report- is accepted as reliable it should, of course, lead to the rejection of the claim for pension on the part of Mr. CarrolL” Upon this Mr. Dumont comments as follows: “It is apparent, from the latter part of the veto message, that the special examiner of the Pension Office put in his time trying to break down Carroll’s claim for pension The noia* carried to the eountry and to the that the bureau is four^ a t 0 not c h^ o i n9t and we find this explainer, about 1876 or 1877 (ten years trying the question as to which one of two Dands of neighbors in armed war against each other —one of which was armed against the government—should be called plunderers and law-breakers, and he decided against the members of the government forces in a matter of which he had neither jurisdiction of the parties &or tho subject That the President

should use this in support of his veto is not to be wondered at, as it gives much of quality and saving grace to his sustentation of the view that the Union men of the mountains of the South were ‘plunderers,’ and ‘engaged in plundering the neighborhood,’ and is a singularly astute and strong bid for succor, besides being a bill of health. Bat Carroll proves beyond question of doubt that he was detailed to secure recruits; that when shot he was encaged in that service. There is no evidence that at the time Carroll Was shot he was doing anything other than recruiting service, and instead of being with a band, one of the party who shot him swears that they came on him and Perkins, and fired several shots At them, wounding him in the right side and hip.” DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN.

FAIRCHILD AND JORDAN. The Alleged Difference of Opinion Between them Smoothed Over. Washington Special. It has been repeatedly stated that there was serious disagreement between Secretary Fairchild and Treasurer Jordan in regard to the new financial policy of the department, and these statements have been apparently confirmed by semi-official reports of conversations, in which Mr. Jordan, as alleged, denounced the recent bond calls in emphatic terms, and intimated an intention to resign if they were continued. But the Star of last evening announced that there is no longer any friction between the two officers, and that the Treasurer now approves the bond calls. If this announcement is true, it probably amounts to a confirmation of the theory often hitherto advanced in these dispatches, to the effect that these extra bond calls are in fact delusive. They seem to mean much more than they really may mean. The government is obliged to call in forty or fifty millions of bonds each year for the sinking fund, and there is no reason why it should not call them all at one time if it chooses to. By making extensive calls at this time the government can create the impression that it means to adopt the policy suggested by the Morrison resolution, and still it may, in reality, mean to do nothing of the sort. By calling $50,000,000 or so right away, it would please the Western Democrats, and still give no cause for offense to the East; and so it would kill two birds with one stone. Very likely this idea may have been made clear to Mr. Jordan, and his assent to the bond calls thus secured. There are those, however, who insist that the government will go on calling bonds freely throughout the year. In that case renewed recalcitrancy on the Treasurer’s part may be expected, as his views in favor of holding a large reserve in the Treasury are well known. Republican Presidential Sentiment. Special to St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The delegates to the State Republican convention were to-day questioned as to their preferences for President in 1888, by the GlobeDemocrat interviewing corps, and a more variegated set of responses was never elicited on any topic. The preferences avowed show what Indiana men think of Harrison and Porter as a matter of State pride, but local affection seems utterly swallowed up in the feeling for Logan, Blaine and Sherman. The mosl&anqualified admiration is expressed for Sherman, while Blaine is idolized in one direction and doubtfully regarded in another. Logan figures prominently for first and second choice, with varying opinions as to his course regarding the Payne investigation. But one delegate favored Gresham. A Wise Nomination. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The Indiana Republican convention did a wise thing in nominating Captain J. A. Lemcke for Treasurer of State. Captain Lemcke is a man of large business experience, and has long been identified with many of the most prominent commercial enterprises of southern Indiana. He is a man of high character, and has an established reputation for integrity. His experience and ability in financial affairs will enabl* him, if elected, to render his State good aDd efficient service, and that he will devote his best energies to a faithful discharge of the duties of the position will in no wise be doubted by those who know him. It is an honor to the State to have the services of a man so well qualified for the position to which he has been nominated at its disposal. Nothing Funny About It. Bloomlngtoa (111.) Pantagraph.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1886.

CtRRENT MAGAZINES. Outing, for September, contains a history of American yachting, by Captain Coifing, of peculiar interest just at this time on account of the pending international race for the American cup. Among the short sketches in the last issue of the Overland Monthly are the following: “The Lone Woman of Keya Paha Mountain,” “Janet Craie," “Beer Drinking in Germany,” “Some Japanese Folk Lore,” and others. A feature of the Brooklyn Magazine is found in the sermons of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage. These are printed in the order in which they are delivered, and present some very choice religious matter. The literary department of the magazine is well sustained. Babyhood for September treats of “Whoopingcough,” “Children’s Habit3,” “Domestic Ailments,” “Baby Talk,” “Nursery Helps,” “Baby’s Wardrobe,” “Feeding by the Nursing Bottle,” and a number of other topics pertaining to the interests of the infantile population. Published at No. 5 Buchanan street, New York. Three supplements accompany the Art Age for September—one a photogravure from a painting entitled the “Companions,” by Kenneth R. Crawford, another a portrait head reproduced by the Moss type process, the third a lithographed moonlight view. The literary features of the issue are excellent, as usual with this magazine. Turnure <fc Gilliss, No. 75 Fulton street, New York. The New Princeton Review for September contains a novelty in the shape of a prose article from the pen of Edmund C. Stedman, the poet Its title is “Genius.” Among the other papers are: “The Agnostic Dilemma,” by Alexander J. Ormund; “The Origin of a Great Delusion,” by George Rutledge Gibson; “Indian Treaties and National Honor,” by Sarah Nowlin; “The Freedman Daring the War,” by Gen. O. O. Howard. Margaret J. Preston contributes an article to the Southern Bivouac on the poet, Paul Hamilton Hayne, recently deceased. Hayne’s poem, “In the Wheat-field,” is republished in this issue of that magazine, and William C- Richards prints a metrical reply to the same. The initial article, illustrated, is “The Second Day of the War,” describing the assaalt on Fort Sumter at the beginning of hostilities in the early days of 1861. The Magazine of American History for September contains the details of the negotiations with Pope Pius IX and the envoys of the confederate government of this country, and the letter of the Pope in reply to the same. It is one of the most interesting chapters in the history of the war of the Rebellion. There is a long article in the same number, illustrated, on the beginning of things in the world’s mechanical progress. The North American presents one of the best tables of contents that has ever graced that fine magazine, and it is steadily growing in popularity because of its way of dealing with topics of interest to the people now. Another “Letter to Prominent Persons,” from the pen of “Arthur Richmond,” is in this number, addressed to Hon. Samuel J. Randall, and it will doubtless attract the same attention as have those that preceded it Henry George contributes a paper on “Labor in Pennsylvania,” Rev. George R. Crooks, I). D., tells “Why I am a Methodist,” Ouida talks on female suffrage, and Kate Field on “Mormon Blood Atonement." Mrs. Bloomfield Moore makes a trip around Robin Hood’s barn in an article in the September issue of Lippincott’B Magazine to bolster up the claims of the friends of Keely’s etheric vaDor motor, as it is now called. She quotes liberally from the ancients and from the eccentric utterances of still more eccentric men, who establish that the great truths with which the world is familiar now were scoffed at when they were first offered the world, though accepted unhesi tatingly now all over the globe. From this she deduces that the day will come when the great discovery of John Worrell Keely will be established. to the confusion of all who have sneered at what they have been pleased to denominate the insane dreams of this man. The continued stories in this number are all well sustained, and the short sketches are among the best offered the reading public. “A Summer with Liszt at Weimar," by Albert Morris Bagby, is the opening paper of the September Century, and was, curiously enough, prepared for publication in this number previous to the great musician’s death. It is an enter taining sketch. Aeronautic experience is a hackneyed subject, but Alfred E. Moore treats of “Amateur Ballooning” in an interesting way, and John G. Doughty offers some useful information to photographers who wish to practice their art in balloons. The war papers are “The Successes and Failures of Chancellorsville,” by Gen. Alfred Pleasonton; “Jackson’s Attack Upon the Eleventh Corps,” by Gen. O. O. Howard; “Sedgwick’s Assault at Fredericksburg,” by Col. Huntington W. Jackson, and “Chancellorsville Revisited by General Hooker,” by Samuel P. Bates. Maurice Thompson sings a song of the mocking bird which is far in advance of any poetical efforts which the rnaea,zines have lately furnished. R. W. Gilder, John Burroughs, Mrs. Piatt, Kate Foote and S. G. W. Benjamin are also contributors to this number.

THE $8 PENSION BILL. How the Grand Army Voted Down the Scheme for General Service Pensions. Boston Advertiser. Secretary Peirce arrived home from San Francisco early Saturday morning, suffering severely from an ulcerated tooth. He was better in the afternoon, though confined to his bed, and will probably be at his post in the State-house today. In reply to an Advertiser reporter’s question about the G. A. R. encampment, he said: “Yes, it was a very successful one, and our portion of the Massachusetts delegation, at least, met a most cordial and hospitable reception.” “The $8 pension scheme did not receive much approval, did it? What was the general temper of tho convention on this point,?” “The vote, 327 to 86, on accepting the report of the committee on resolutions is answer enough to this if you want it briefly. To explain the u. .itter at length: The pension scheme was simply introduced in the form of the bill which Mr. Lovering introduced in Congress. But there was not any connection of his name with it, either then or later in the discussion. This was commented on among not a few members of the Massachusetts delegation, who wondered what the ‘true inwardness’ of this was. However, the matter was referred, along with a grist of other things, to the committee on resolutions, of which 1 was chairman. 1 supposed that there would he little trouble in disposing of the matter. I was outspoken against it, but found that a good many of the committee were the other way. I am unable to say anything as to whether the choice of the committeemen had anything to do with this. But 1 wanted to give everyone a fair chance. We gave a hearing. Mr. E. B. Loring, of Boston, the prime mover in behalf of the measure, spoke loudly in its favor. Past Commander Patch also supported it. Major Merrill, of Lawrence, spoke ably against its adoption. “Then the matter came before the committee for action. The vote stood tied—l 2 to 12. I voted against the scheme. But two reports were made in open meeting of the whole encampment, the minority being made by General Bennett, of Indiana. The resulting debate, like like most of those in which soldiers speak about the war, was most able and eloquent. The men who had spoken in committee spoke again. ‘Dick’ Tobin came to the aid of the bill in his vigorous, sincere way, and would have saved it, if any one could. But there was a great deal of heavy artillery on the other side, as well—one Arkansas past department commander talking most effectively. The rank and file were dead set against the measure, as well, as was seen clearly when the question was put” “Tnis shows pretty clearly the position of the self-respecting veterans of the country on the bill, does it not?” Yes, in the main. But while most of the men who shouted for such a proposition are the bummers who get into every crowd of men as large as the army was, there are also some who conscientiously stand by the call for pensions. These are such as Mr. Tobin, Representative *Ben’ Lovell and G. H. Patch. There are often

men who are carried away by the sentiment of the affair. That anything that has ‘soldier’ in it is enough to rouse their enthusiasm to a high pitch. It is to be feared that they do not stop to see where they are coming out in the end —what their real demand is ” “It has been said, generally with an amused smile, that delegate Loriug threatens to travel over the State and oppose you on the ground that you worked against this measure.” “I have heard the same statement. But if my position on this matter is going to cost me any votes. lam ready to lose such votes. The soldiers that we met out there think as I do, that the government has been abundantly generous to its men. We do not want the people to imagine we are coming continually begging from the public treasury. When the government has pensioned the disabled and needy, that is enough. What does a well, strong man like me want of $8 a month from the United States? We are not ready yet for this sort of a bill. Very likely by and by, when the majority of old soldiers are 60 or over, a general pension act may be of value and a deserving measure.” “Well, Mr. Peirce, with one soldier in yourself on the State ticket, some men aro still calling for more. General Otis is named.” “I suppose they want two, then. General Otis is a brave man and a ‘homely’ man —quiet, and such as would appeal to most folks’ minds very successfnlly. General Otis is highly respected among the soldiers of the State.” A Million Kittens Wanted. New York Commercial Advertiser. The following somewhat startling [advertisement appeared thiß morning: A million kittens wanted, for which we will pay five cents a piece; must not be more than fourteen days old. James Young & Cos. Mr. Young was found in the midst of his pets this afternoon, and explained to a reporter that the man who wanted a million kittens was in Brooklyn. He has recently got out a patent for a picture frame, the unique part of which is a kitten mounted on the top, and so placed that it is looking over at the picture which the frame contains. The Brooklyn man has had some trouble with Mr. Bergh, but has finally demonstrated that he killed the kittens in a scientific way, and has been allowed to go on with his business. “Our advertisement appears for the first time this morning. We gave the kitten-frame manufacturer thirty kittens at noon. To-morrow we are going to pay 10 cents each for all the kittens that are brought to us.” What Defeated Mr. Byram. Lafayette Call. The Republican State convention made a strong and well-distributed ticket, composed largely of young men, and entirely of men of unblemished reputation. Mr. Byram, of Indianapolis, had many friends here who regret that he could have no place on the ticket, but who appreciate that his defeat was brought about by considerations of locality and other circumstances which render it no disparagement that he failed to win. THE CITY IN BRIEF. The Bie Four road will run an excursion from this city to Cincinnati and return on next Saturday, the receipts from which are to be for the benefit of the Charleston sufferers. Sparks from a chimney of English’s Hotel set fire to the stable in the rear of the old Meridian club-house yesterday, about 1 o’clock, but owing to the effective work of the fire department no damage was done further than the burning of a part of the roof. In a game of ball between the Easterns and Grand Avenues, yesterday afternoon, the latter were defeated by a score of 19 to 5, before a large audience. The batteries were Devoss and O’Neil for the Easterns, and Dunnivan and Haley for the Grand Avenues.

Affairs of the German Orphan Asylum. At the regular monthly meeting of the German Orphans’ Society yesterday afternoon, in the council chamber, the newly-elected officers for the ensuing year were installed. The outgoing president, Mr. A. H. Ruesse, made quite a lengthy report of the condition of the asylum, and the nature and extent of its work for the past year, showing it to boas satisfactory as the conveniences at hand would allow. He discussed at length the question of findine situations as apprentices for the male inmates of the asylum, and stated that the trustees had already devoted considerable attention to the subject. His report showed that the home at present has sixty-nine inmates—forty-two boys and twenty seven girls—and that not a single death had occurred during the year, the institution being remarkably free from disease and sickness. The trustees’ report fixes the total assets at $53,291.36. The treasurer’s report shows a balance, on Sept. 6. 1885, of $2,251.60; receipts during the year, $8,202.87; expenses during the vear, $8,750.36; balance on Sept. 5, 1886, sl,703 61. The ladies’ branch of the society yesterday elected officers for the ensueing year as follows: President —Mrs. Catharine Grosch. Vice-president—Henrietta Ruesse. Secretary—Mrs. Elizabeth Schmidt. Treasurer— Mrs. Elizabeth Spitzfaber. The society will hold its annual festival at the home on next Sunday. Fight Between Landlord and Tenant. Joseph Mulane, a peddler, who is a tenant of part of Israel Bay’s house, at No. 119 Fort Wayne avenue, failed to pay his rent on Saturday, when it became due, and yesterday afternoon Bay undertook to eject him from the premises. In the fight which followed Mulane was struck with a stove lid, and an ugly gash was cut over his eye, and he was kicked several times in the face while prostrate. Both men were arrested on the charge of assault and battery. Are We to Become a Nation of Lunatics? At the present ratio of increase, at the end of seventy-four years one fourth of the American people will be in the madhouse. Intemperance, licentiousness, and mental overstrain from overstudy, and sharp competition in great business enterprises, such as the world has never seen before, are at the bottom of it. To support and recover from these, the world rush to tonics and stimulants which only give temporary relief. Now. the physicians tell us the little harmless South American Moxie Nerve Food Plant handles it all without harm or reaction. It has been on the market but eleven months, but the aphothecaries say its sale is unparalleled. It makes a cheap, luscious drink. The discovery of the Moxie Nerve Food has settled the stimulant question. This little plant, supposed to bo worth nothing except for fodder, has turned out to be, in all its simplicity, the finest nerve food ever found, and the successful enemy of the rum fiend. It recovers nervous exhaustion at once, giving vigorous, durable health, while the stimulant gives only a temporary re'iof, leaving the irritated nervous system worse than before. Moral and physical beauty on the one side, and crime, ill-health, and degradation on the other. The excitement over the Moxie is not surprising.
