INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL NEWSPAPER CO., Indianapolis, Ind. CONDITION OF THEMABKETS. Free Offerings of Wheat Cause a Decline from the Prices Current on Friday, And Corn Rules Weak and Lower in Sympathy—Mess Pork Also Declines, Losing Almost the Last Yestige of the Late Boom.

Government bonds were quiet and steady. State bonds were dull and steady. Stook* opened with a much stronger tone, and the impression that trunk-line matters will be amicably arranged at the presidents’ meeting next week gained ground. The deal in New York A New England made further progress, and notwithstanding the fact that several material reactions occurred, that stock is 5 Sl® higher to-night, being alone in closing strong. Tbfe morning hours saw a material improvement over the wnole list, but after the issue of. the bank statement less confidence was displayed and prices became heavy. There was no feature in the afternoon trading beyond tne strength in New England. Western Union was active and remained comparatively steady throughout the day. The Vanderbilts, especially New York Central, were strong in the early morning, and retained most of the advantage until the close. The opening was firm to strong, first prices 'generally snowing advances of from *B®% above list evening’s final figures. Western Union, however, was np “a, and Jersey Central down %. There was some hesitation in the general list in the early ' trading, but the extraordinary strength in New England and Western Union soon rallied the market, and the upward movement was not checked until after noon, ween the early advances were generally lost. There was some little improvement in the last hour, but the market closed barely steady. The business of the dav was 374.179 shares; New England furnished 65,9(10; Bt.

There was free selling in all the pits, and the closing figures were about the lowest in nearly every instance. In wheat, there was a denial of the report that purchases for export had been made yesterday, and, with a subsidence of the war feelings of yesterday, the offerings of "long” property became very free, prices closing about %c under yesterday. The receipts continue fairly large, and export clearings very light. Estimates as to the visible supply varied from two to two and one-quarter millions increase. Corn ruled weak and lower, in sympathy with wheat, and owing to the estimated large receipts for next week prices declined l*e®i3Bc, and closed at nearly inside figures. In oats the decline for the day was %®%c, many of the holders throwing largo quantities on the market. The closing in the pits was dull and easy.

The Fall Season Promises Grand Results— Collections Have Been Good. Indianapolis, Oct. 2. Trade in the week closing to-day has been highly satisfactory, and in the main there has been a firm tone to prices. Collections have been good and but few failures in the territory tributary to this market, and on all sides indications are favorable to a heavy fall business. Harvests have been large, the weather has been good, and no great calamity has overtaken the country, except the Charleston earthquake. Asa result WS hftve a great deal to export, while the labor-

er and mechanic can buy food at rates which make sure Shat wages need not advance. The hot season is well nigh over, and with the cqoler weather there will be a more active movement in nearly all lines, both for present use and in anticipation of the holidays. Stocks in most lines are small, as it is so easy to replace depleted stocks. In the local market there were but few changes in prices in the week closing today. In groceries, with the exception of coffees, whieh showed some signs of a break in the market, prices have ruled firm and steady. The produce markets have been active. There is a brisk demand for'eggs, and prices will likely further advance the coming week. Arrivals of poultry are increasing, and while prices are unchanged they are not firm by any means. Fruits and vegetables are in large supply and selling at low figures, unless it be Irish potatoes, and as receipts are increasing lower prices for them are highly probable. The provision market, in a wholesale way. is very quiet, and prices are unsettled. Jobbing trade is good. GRAIN. The local market is in much the same position as for some days past. Wheat is firm at quotations, the receipts continuing light. Corn is dull; receipts heavier than ten days ago. Oats were in good demand and firm at quotations. Prices to-day ruled as follows: Wheat—No. 2 Mediterranean 76 No. 3 Mediterranean 74% No. 2 red 74% No. 3 red 72 October 74% Corn—No. 2 white 38 No. 3 white 37% No. 2 yellow 37% No. 3 yellow 37*8 No. 2 mixed 37 No. 3 mixed 37 Ear . 36% Oats—No. 2whito 29 No. 3 white 27 No. 2 mixed 26 Rejected...*. 24 October 26 Rye—No. 2 49 Bran $9.75 Hay—Choice timothy 9.50 No. 1 timothy..’ 9.00 RAILWAY GOSSIP. E. P. Wilson’s salary as general passenger agent of the Chicago & Northwestern road is to be $7,500 per year. Walter Nichols, district passenger agent of the Beeline at this point, was yesterday called to Cleveland on business matters. The wages of the freight train crews on the L., N. A. & C. road, engineers excepted, were advanced on the Ist of this month. The twenty-third annual convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will be held in New York city, commencing Oct. 20. The frequency with which the officials of the Northern Pacific are changed is a matter over which there is sharp criticism in railroad circles. William S. Baldwin, general passenger agent of the L., N. A. & C, road, who, on Nov. 1, takes a position with the Pullman Car Company, through the change doubles his present salary. A correspondent of the Railway Station Agents’ Journal suggests that the agents’ association should co-operate with the Y. M. C. A. in establishing station reading-rooms for the employes. Dr. W. S. Webb, son-in-law of tho late W. H. Vanderbilt, and president of the New York Central Sleep-ing-car Company, owns two miles of the west shore of Lake Champiain below Burlington. Milt. Alexander, who has been associated with the general passenger department of the 1., B. & W., severed his connection with the company last week. Mr. Alexander intends going into business in the city. Jack Hardesty, formerly superintendent of the Union Railway Company, has accepted the position of yardmaster of the 1., B. &W. at Springfield, O. It is an impoitant position, as some 400 cars are handled there daily. The occupants of thirty-three pieces of property belonging to the Union Railway Company were yesterday notified that they must vacate the premises by Oct. 15, as the company would then commence to tear down the buildings to clear the ground where the new Union Depot will stand. The one place in the country where the most railroad trains pass is said to be the Union Depot, Elizabeth, N. J. A man was put on for the purpose lately, and counted up 3,255 as a total for the week, and in one day of twenty-four hours, 600. It is a crossing at the street level, too. There is good authority for saying that it is bv no means settled that E. A. McCormick will succed Wm. S. Baldwin as general passenger agent of tho L., N..A. &C. road. No one questions his ability, however. There are but few brighter men in the passenger service than young McCormick.' The higher official of one of Indianapolis’s leading S stems of roads and of a company which boasts that ey jure strictly maintaining rates, patted one of the representatives of the passenger department on the shoulder and remarked: "Boy, don’t you let any of the business get away from you.” Since his return from Europe President Garrett, of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, is said to look like a prosperous young English landlord. His ocean voyage has tanned his cheeks, which present a ruddy contrast to his light yellow whiskers, trimmed close and cut in the English “sideboard” fashion. Trustee Davis, of the bondholders of the Indianapolis, Peru & Chicago road, is in the city. That he is somewhat uneasy over the future of the 1., P. & C. is quite apparent, as were the Wabash to get hold of the division lying between Indianapolis and Peru the other two divisions will be at the mercy of the Wabash people.

It is said that the decree of sale almost shut out the Waring Bros., altogether. They were not allowed a cent for car rental, although nearly all the rolling stock used belonged to them for ever ten years, and was worn out in service of the road. One gentleman says they will not get much more out of the sale than enough to pay the salary of Mr. L. Genis while here. Col. M. A. Downing, of this city, is now giving his undivided attention to the St. Louis cable roa3, of which he is general manager. An idea of this road as an investment may be formed from the fact that in September the earnings fell but $6,000 short of paying the fixed charges for the year, and the stock is getting up toward the figures of the Belt-road stock in its palmiest days. D. I. Roberts, who represents the Pennsylvania company at Cincinnati, spent a day or two last week in the city, taking in the fair. It is now a year since he came West to accept the position of assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines, and in that time be has caught on to She Western ideas of railroading remarkably .well, and is looked upon aa a rising man in railroad circles. M. E. Ingalls is highly pleased with his investment in this city, the Fletcher & Sharpe Block, now known as the Ingalls Block. As fast as practicable, Mr. Ingalls purposes to convert the building into a block to be wholly occupied for railroad offices. At no distant day the offices of Superintendent Sherwood will be removed to that block, the freight men needing more room at the city freight depot. The Terre Haute Express says: “A great deal of effort has been made to learn the amount of surplus in the hands of Receiver Conklin, of the Illinois Midland. As he has had only the bare operating expenses to pay it has been given out that a nice little surplus was accumulating, but no one has been able to learn how large it is. To some Mr. Conklin has said that he had about enough on hand to pay the taxes, and to others that he had none at all.” The passenger conductors and brakemen on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road will put on new uniforms Oct. 24. Conductors are to wear suits of dark blue, coatscut frock pattern, and caps to match; buttons and cap trimmings of gilt. Brakemen will wear gray suits, sack coats, caps in the same meterial. The buttons will be of white metal and trimmings of gray. The railway company will give each brakeman his first suit. Conductors are expected to buy tbeir own suit*. In Russia there are thirty-three railroad schools intended for the instruction of employes above lower grades, such as enginetien and roadmasters. These were first established in 1869, and until this year they were conducted by the railroad companies under state supervision, but they have become government schools under the directum of the Minister of Transpotation. The course lasts three years: beginners must be between the ages of fourteen and seventeen years, sons of railroad employes preferred. The Philadelphia Inquirer says: ‘‘There is very little doubt that Mr. Austin Corbin went into Reading with the sole idea of using it as an outlet for his Western lines. It may be several years before the entire scheme is carried out. for a great deal has to be done meanwhile. Not only is the Reading in a bad financial plight, but the 1., B. & W. is also badly off. Both properties are undergoing reorganization, and until they have been placed on a sound financial basis Mr. Corbin will have little time to plan extensions to his roads.” The railway companies everywhere are realizing every day more and more that it is their interest, as well as their duty, to support Railway Men’s Christian Associations. Here is the opinion of Hon. Channcey M. Deoew, president of the New York Central: *“I have had the opportunity to become personally familiar with the workings of the railroad branch of this association. The results can hardly be overstated. On the lines with which I am connected 100,000 men are employed, and they represent over half a million people in their families. The effect of the establishment of one of these societies at a railroad center is marked and immediate. The character of the service begins to improve. Salaries and wages, which have been worse than wasted, are spent upon wives and children, and the surplus finds its way into the savings-bank, and from there into the homestead.” Ladies admire Aver’* Hair Vigor for the rich lustre it gives the buir. It restore* color, and promotes growth.

A petition for a canton at Kuightstown will be forwarded to headquarters in a few days. Metropolitan Eeeampment will meet to-morrow night, and will have work in the Royal Purpie degree. Knightstown Lodge has purchased seventeen and one-half acres of land adjoining the town for a cemetery.

The train was run in eighteen sections and without an accident of any kind. The officers of Olive Branch Lodge. D. of R., are requested to meet at Grand Lodge building, on Thursday, at 2 o’clock P. M., for drilL The unveiling of the fountain at Madison on the 28th ir.st. was largely attended by the citizens of the surrounding county and the various fraternities. There are in the United States and Canada, 7,956 lodges, 517.310 members, and $2,180,901.93 has been expended relief the last year by the order. The Sovereign Grand Lodge will meet in Denver. Col., next year, and St. Louis in 1888, so that Columbus. the new home, will not have a session before 1889. General Underwood is expected in the city in a few days. His election to the second highest office in the order was a deserved compliment to an earnest and faithful ®dd fellow. The committee on Colfax monument let the contract for the structure on the 28th to A. A. McKain, of this city. Quite a number of plans, or designs, were submitted. The committee will need about $2,000 more more m oney, which they expect to raise by next May, at which time the monument will be unveiled. The Sovereign Grand Lodge closed its session in Boston on Saturday, and the Indiana delegation lias returned home. The parade on Wednesday waa the largest of the kind ever seen in Boston, over ten thousand men being in line, one-half of whom were Patriarchs Militant. The Grand Lodge adopted a revised ritual for the Degree of Rebekah, but no form of beautified work. Lodges are prohibited from using any language other than that contained in the ritual, but are not restricted to any particular form of floor movement. The mother of an Odd-fellow, if she be a widow, and the unmarried step-daughter over eightteen years of age, were made eligible to receive the Rebekah Degree. The matter of a fuueral ceremony for burying a member of a Rebekah Degree Lodge was indefinitely postponed, but one will be prepared and submitted at the next mooting of the Sovereign Grand Lodge. There was but little legislation before the body that was adopted. The removal of the headquarters from Baltimore, where it has been located for sixty-seven years, was the liveliest question before the body. Baltimore. St Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Washington, Philadelphia and Columbus, 0., were candidates, and, after five ballots, Columbus was selected by a vote of. 76 to 73. Had Chicago’s canvass been as discreetly managed as Columbus’s, that city would have undoubtedly been elected. The success of the Patriarchs Militant was very gratifying, and some legislation perfecting tho organisation was adopted. The uniform adopted was greatly admired, and tll%re will bo no pronounced change made in it at any time in the future. Members of grand lodges mav hereafter wear a scarlet ribbon during the sessions, and of the Grand Encampments a purple ribbon. Benefits cannot be paid to dependent relatives from the orphan fund, but from the general fund. The revised ritual of the Rebekah Degree is to go into effect Jan. 1, 1887.

The dissolving-view entertainment and ice-cream social given by Washington Lodge cn last Monday evening, was a financial success. One of the features of the evening was the raffle for a handsome toilet set of four pieces, for which Mr. Harris, of No. 4, held the lucky number, 146. CHOSEN FRIENDS* Anew council of Chosen Friends will be organized, Monday evening, Oct. 4, at the Odd-fellows’ Hall, corner of Fort Wayne avenue and St. Mary street, by Mrs. Rose E. Jones, councilor of Alpha Council. This new council will pay to its members a sick benefit of $3.00 per week by increasing its dues. The charter will close with a large membership.

The election of officers for several associations will occur the first of next month. As the building season is about over the associations will begin to accumulate money. A secretary who is in a position to know estimates that not less than one thousand men in Indianapolis, have, the past year, been enabled to secure homes of their own through the instrumentality of the building associationsThe Palmer-street association, organized last week, is starting out in a very encouraging maimer. It was organized on tho fifty-five cent installment plan, which has become a very popular one in other cities. The association’s stock is being taken very rapidly. Adolph Cuhel is secretary. The Mutual association, which meets at No. 445 North Alabama street, has ended a remarkably prosperous year. All the money paid in has been loaned at a high rate of interest, and many of the stockholders, most of whom are laboring men, have been enabled to secure comfortable homes. The Merchant’s Association, of No North Pennsylvania street has been prospering since it was organized, three years ago. Its stockholders -ire nearly all clerks on Pennsylvania street, and many of them are securing a first-class start in the world. The When store clerks figure very prominently in this association. The German American association, operating on South street, will pay out in about a year more. There has been a big demand for its money the five years it has been running, and many persons who took stock in it with some reluctance signify their intention to organize a German American No. 2as soon as the present one pays oAt. The North Side association, operating at the extreme northern extremity of Illinois street, is one of the oldest and most reliable associations in this city. Through it, North Indianapolis has been greatly improved the past two years. It has a capital stock of $120,000. and all the money that has come In has gone into new residences in that portion of the city. Wm. H. Stringer is secretary.

CONCERNING WOMEN. Miss Kate Field has an article in the current North American Review on “Mormon Blood Atonement.” Anew employment for women is the inlaying of furniture with ivory and other forms of marquetry. The annual meeting of the Indiana Woman Suffrage Association will be held at Richmond on Nov. 9, 10 and 11. The women’s '“Auxiliary Conference” has con tributed $20,000 to the American Unitarian Association in six years. Mrs. Simpson, widow of the late Bishop Simpson, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, is editing her husband’s memoirs and letters for publication. Miss Ada Kelly is an independent candidate for the office of county school superintendent in Cowley county, Kaift&s. She is speaking from an educational stand-point in every school district in the county, with good prospect of being elected. Miss Ellen Gilliam is the Republican candidate for county superintendent of schools in Walla Walla county, Washington Territory. She is an able and experienced teacher, and one of the Massachusetts “superfluous women” who have gone West to grow up with the country. The American Woman Suffrage Association will hold its eighteenth annual meeting in Topeka, Kan., on Oct. 26, 27 and 28. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Lucy Stone, Henry B. Blackwell, Hon. William Dudley Foulke and other eminent advocates will address the meeting. Mr. Foulke is president of the association. Miss Cons is th® successful manager of the Royal Victoria Coffee Hall, in London, England, and to her is due the credit of transforming it from a dance and music hall of the vilest character to a wholesome place of entertainment for the working people. Here they can enjoy warmth, light and varied amusements, such as lectures and concerts, at a small expense, and bo free from the evil influences of the ordinary music hall. During the last year not less than 170,000 persons have availed themselves of its advantages. Frances E. Willard says: To thousands of young women bound to be journalists, I would like to say, as I wish someone had said to mo in my childhood, “learn the printer’s trade and meanwhile try your hand at writing.” You will thus hold one bread-win-ning implement while you reach out, for another. Never wait for something to turn up, take hold of the types—they move the world—and turn them right side up, and, if you are faithful and have the gift predicted by your preference, you will 6urely win a foothold in the splendid realm of journalism. The Republican convention of Washington Territory adopted the following plank as a part of its platform: “We heartily indorse our present law conferring suffrage upon women, and are strenuously opposed to its repeal or modification.” Three ladies were received as delegates—Mrs. Reeves Ayres, of Walla Walla; Miss Ella Whipplo, of Vancouver, and Mrs. B. W. Johns, of Olymp’a. Miss Whipple was elected chairman of the committee on platform, and Mrs. Johns on rules and order of business. Several other ladies were elected delegates who sent their proxies. The Democratic convention ignored the question of woman suffrage, and the fact is likely to be made prominent during tho campaign. The annual meeting of the “Association for the Advancement of Women,” familiarly known as the “Woman’s Congress,” will be accessible this year to the Indiana women who are interested in its work. It will be held in Louisville, Oct. 20, 21 and 22. The following topics are announced for discussion: “The Freedon of Fate,” Mrs. Ellen M. Mitchell, Colorado; “Education in Industrial Art,” Anna D. French, M. D., New York: “What Agencies Should Women Employ for tho Uplifting of Society 1 ?” Mrs. J. T. Sunderland, Michigan; “The Mind Cure.” Sarah Hackett Stevenson, M. D..

A CHILD BORN DRUNK. A Jersey Youngster in a Perpetual State of Intoxication-—A Puzzler to Doctors* New York World. The infant son of a well-known citizen of Westfield, N. J,, though but just large e jougbt to walk and talk, appears and acts like an intoxicated person. A local physician, in conversation with a World reporter, gave a history of the case. It seems that the parents were very exemplary young people, and began their married life without a cloud to dim their future. Nd one in the town had better habits than tho young husband, but some months after his marriage he lapaed a little from the path of strict temperance. One winter evening the man went from his home ostensibly “to watch with a sick member of the village lodge.” He really visited Sam Goschalk’s tavern. The trusting wife discovered at 9 o’clock that her husbaua had forgotten to purchase meat for breakfeast, and she went to the market A stormy wind was blowing and the snow was falling, but as she passed the hotel the sound of a man’s voice in song came to their ears. She listened but a moment There was no mistaking her hnsband’s voice and, scarcely knowing what she did, she looked In at the bar-room window and saw her husband there in a state of beastly intoxication. Some time after this little episode a son was born to the parents—a fine, healthy infant, bright and comely. Several months later, when thc> child began to walk and talk, they took him to the physician. The little one could not walk without staggering in the most unseemly and ludicrous manner, and could not lisp baby words without a strange hiccough and hesitation. Tho doctor, averring that if he had seen such symptoms in an adult he should have pronounced them due to intoxication and nothing else, with little difficulty obtained an account of the unfortunate maternal impression that provoked tho peculiar malady with which the child is afflicted. No line of medical treatment could be of use in such a case, and reluctantly tho physician gave up the infant boy to endure his strangely miserable life. “There is nothine like catalepsy about tho case,” the doctor explained. “There is no healthier in town. As near as I can explain it, the child has muscles and nerves in that condition of action which its father showed when tho mother’s impression of bis intoxication was received. There are no fits or convulsions, though a tremor is always present In spite of this fact there is no mental weakness. There is no coordination in the movements of the lower limbs and the hands are almost as bad off. His gait is heavy and insecure, a regular drunken reel or stagger. As to bis speech, it is not only incoherent and rambling, but he has all of the phenomena of exhilaration or excitement characteristic of the earlier stages of intoxication. His ideas seem to flow rapidly and all of the senses are wonderfully acute, but there .are the muscular tremblings and the actual shambling gait of the drunkard.” “Is recovery to be hoped for 1” the reporter asked. “No,” the doctor answered. “It is a hopeless case; impossible to cure. That boy, if he lives, will have the continued appearance of drunkenness, and it cannot be helped, He U drunk, naturally drunk, and, though he may become a great scholar, he will never outgrow hi* malady.” The parents of the unfortunate child are very sensitive about his condition, and do not permit visits from strangers. It has, however, been arranged that the parents shall take him before a specialist in nervous diseases, that there may ho l a localization of the malady, if possible. It is a very rare case, and among its features is the odd fact that alcohol,* in any form and in any quan.] tity, acts on the child like a poison. A Few Thoughts About Apollo. Bill Nye, in the Rambler. Apollo was the god of light; also of poetry music, archery and lawn tennis. He was greatly loved by the Greeks for bis poetry, his violin solos and his economy and simplicity in dress. A good, durable laurel wreath would last him the year round. But it mortified him to be driven from hi* apartments by the shrill cry of “fire,” and to find when he reached the street that he had forgotten his wreath. Apollo was also recognized as the author of the healing art and the god of prophetic inspiration, as especially manifested in the oracle at Delphi, Ind. He was greatly beloved by everybody but tbn clothing men. Many of them came and offered him Waterbury watches of great value if hn would come and trade with them, but he said “No.” “If I wear clothes.” said he, “other poets will also get above their business and want clothes. It is better as it is.” He then twanged his lyre and burst forth into song. Robinson's Faith in Smith, Boston Transcript. Smith —Here’s a memorandum of my expenses in taking care of yonr sick brother. It amount* to SSO, including the doctor's bill. Robinson— Very .kind in you, but why do you bring it to me? Smith—Don’t you remember? When I telegraphed that Henry was siek you sent word that I was not to spare any expense. That hi* bills would all be paid. Robinson—Well, and wasn’t I correct? They have all been paid, haven’t they?
