The averaee yield of the rye crop Is 11.8 bushels per acre, apd the product orer 26,000,000 bushels. The high temperature of September and abaenca of frost have unproved the corn-crop prospects, made the expectation 22 bushels per acre, and rendered certain a crop of at least 1,650.000.000 bushels. The final averages of condition of the seven States which produce seven-tenths of the crop are: Ohio, 90; Indiana, 93; Illinois, 74; lowa, 78; Missouri, 68; Kansas, Cos; Nebraska, 73. Averages of the Eastern States are above 90, and those of the Southern Suites mostly between 80 and 90. The general averaceis nearly 80, against 95 last year, wnen the yield was 26.5 bushels. The ceceral average of October condition of potatoes is 81. against 82 last year; 88 in 1884, and 93 in 1883.

The Northwest Already Liberally Sprinkled with Tet-Dullsr Counterfeits. Chicago Herald. “The first day after it was announced that the new $lO silver certificates were ready for circulation.” said an old Washington-street detective yesterday, “a man applied at one of the big banks in Washington, and exchanged a SIOO bill for ten of the new certificates. A few days later this man, accompanied by half a dozen companions, boarded a train at the Baltimore & Ohio Jepot, and came to Chicago. Their baggage •cnsisted of three valises and a long brown trank. They left the train at the Lake Front Depot, and mysteriously disappeared. Almost Immediately after their arrival large numbers of the new certificates made their appearance in the business houses and banks of the city. They 'vere crisp, and clean, and fully as pretty as the newspapers had cracked them up to be. Bank tellers, always cautious about taking bills of a new issue, subjected the certificates to a rigid examination, and pronounced them geruine. In this they were mistaken, for in nearly, if not •very, instance the bill was as bogus as oleomargarine. The fraud was not discovered until the town had become pretty well papered with the stuff. The bogus certificate is a maenificent piece of work, and were it not for a slight flaw on the hack of the bill I doubt much if it would, not be taken as eood money at any of the sub-treas-uries. Os course I don’t know whether the counterfeiters brought their plates and dies with "TUCra, but I understand that the secret service men wonld deem it a greater triumph to capture these things than they would the mere arrpst of the gane. They say that the paraphernalia of the men is so complete and dang*’’ ens that unless the stuff is taken, the entire ism it certificates will have to be called in by thf. government andThis story was told to me by a government officer and is unquestionably the truth. When I asked him how he knew that the man who exchanged the SIOO bill for genuine certificates at the Washington bank was the same man who was mixed np with the gang ‘shoving' the bogus stuff in this city he replied that he had already said more than he ought to.” MINOR MATTERS. The Seizure of the Marion Grimes—Official Inquiry as to the Alaskau Seizures. Washington, Oct. 11.—The State Department has received a brief dispatch from the American consul-general in Canada, confirmatory of reports touching the seizure, on Saturday last, by Canadian customs officers, of the American schooner Marion Grimes, at Shelburne. Nothing is officially known at the department concerning the reported seizure by Russian officials, in the Arctic ocean, of the American schooner Henrietta. The British minister, acting on instructions from his government, has applied to the Department of State for all information obtainable in regard to the recent seizure of the British Columbian schooners Onward, Thornton aud Carolina, by the revenue steamer Corwin, for alleged violation of the laws regulating the hunting of seals in Alaskan waters. The application was referred to the acting Secretary of the Treasury, and that official to-day transmitted to the Secretary of State copies .of all the correspondence in the Treasury Department bearing on the seizures in question.

Chief-Justice Chase’s P*" .aim. Washington Oct. 11.— TL.. -entains of the late Chief-justice Salmon P. Chase, vrhich were buried at Oak Hill, May 1, 1873, were Miis morning transferred from the old casket to anew one prepared for their reception. General Boynton and others representing the friends of the dead Justice were present. When the old casket was opened it was found that the body, which was embalmed before burial, was remarkably well preserved, all the features being recognizable. On Wednesday the remains will be taken to Cincinnati, where they will be reinterred. The new casket has on its lid a silver piate with the following inscription: ! Sat,mon P. Chase. j ! Chief-Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court. ! ; Born Jan. 13, 1808; died May 7, 1873. General and Personal. Washington, Oct. 11.—It is generally believed here that Mr. Frerret, a prominent and successful architect of Lonisiana, will soon be appointed to succeed Mr. Bell as supervising architect of the Treasurv Department The Comptroller of the Currency has authorized the Pasadena National Bank, of Pasadena, Cal., to commence business, with a capital of $50,000.

Business Embarrassments. Philadelphia. Oct 11.—Executions were issued to-day against Thomas C. Lippincott, carpets, on two judgment notes amounting to nearly $26,000. Baltimore, Md., Oct. 11.—The wholesale and Import,ng hardware Arm of S. B. Cook <fc Cos., made an assignment to George W. Graflin for the benefit of creditors. The assets are about SIOO,OOO, with liabilities probably a few thousand dollars greater. Chicago. Oct. 11.—A. A. Dewey, a commission man arid trader, who at one tipie wag connected in busiu <s with T. B. Handy, the Cincinnati engineer of wheat corners, failed to-day. It is supposed that too much •‘lone” wheat on a declining market caused the suspension. The liabilities are not large. St. Louis, Oct 11.—The Beck & Marshall Carpet Company, doing business at the corner of Fourth street and Washington avenue, made an assignment this afternoon for the benefit of creditors. The nominal assets are placed at $70.000. The extent of the liabilities is not known. The principal indebtedness of the firm is in Chicago and Cincinnati Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

THE BULGARIAN ELECTION. The Government Overwhelmingly Snstained*in All Districts Reporting. Alexander Willing to Accept the Throne If He Shall Be Chosen—Statement that Russia Will Declare the Elections Illegal. BULGARIA’S CHOICE. The Government Sustained at Almost All Points—lntentions of the Czar. Sofia, Oct 11.—In the city elections for members of the Great Sobranje to elect a successor to Prince Alexander, all the government candidates have been successful. M. Karaveloff, ProRussian, received but fifty votes oat of tho 1,500 cast in his district The government attach little importance to the action of M. Neklindoff, the Russian agent here, ip suspending diplomatic relations. A Macedonian Voivoide who was arrested here admitted that he was the leader of a band of Macedonians, organized id Yeni Zrigra andEski Zagna to act against the government On Saturday a crowd hooted at a number of peasants who were assembled in the garden at the Russian consulate. The peasants replied by throwing blocks of wood and stones. The crowd retaliated, whereupon the Montenegrins and C&vasses in the garden of the consulate fired upon the mob. Fifteen revolver bullets 6truck the walls of the British and German consulates. The peasants subsequently left the consulate. They said they didn’t know for what purpose their presence was required, but that they had been induced to come to Sofia by six chiefs. Several persons disguised as gendarmes have been arrested for denouncing the government. A crowd of fully five thousand persons met Geueral Kaulbars upon bis arrival at Shurala. The spokesmen told him that the people had full confidence in the government. Afterward a crowd assembled near a window where Gen. Kaulbars was seated, and hooted at him. Twelve Zankovists who were going to nay their respects to the General, appealed to officers to disperse the crowd, but they refused to do so. All the members of the Ministry have been elected by immense majorities. The returns thus far received show the election of 400 Ministerialists and twontv-one Zankovists. A dispatch from Vienna says that a meeting at Rustchuk, to-day, M. Stone read a dispatch from Prince Alexander, declining the money voted to him by the Sobranje, and saying that he was prepared to accept the throne of Bulgaria if reelected. Returns from eighty of the eight-six electoral districts show that seventy are in favor of the government. Rustchuk gave 1.940 votes for the govenment and 39 for its opponents. Macedonian rioters at Dabnitza murdered the government deputies Zagra and Grander and Prefect Dimitroff. The elections were abandoned in Yratza, Slaven and Buccino, all of which are pro-Russian districts. M. Neklindoff has addressed three notes to the government and foreign consuls. In the first he says he will resume diplomatic relations with the government in accordance with the instructions of General Kaulbars, but condemns the Bulgarian circular, which, he says, may lead to a rupture. In the second, he says that Russia will declare the elections illegal and invalid; and in the trurd heofficiallv protests against the attack on the Russian agency and the peasants who had sought refuge there. A dispatch from St. Petersburg says that the Czar, while discussing, recently, the Bulgarian crisis, said: “If the Bulgarian question can he settled peaceably, well and good; hut 1 will not go to war for the sake of the disorderly Bulgarians.”

Uncertainties of the Situation. Cable Special to New York Times. Evep the fabled Philadelphia lawyer would be puzzled to tell at the present moment what the Bulgarian imbroglio is like. Every day it is a toss-up between war and peace. Every morning one looks at his papers, equally prepared for tidings of Russian occupation or news of a Rnssian apology all around. The Times sums up the situation cleverly when it says: ‘‘While diplomacy prefers to believe that an armed collision will be postponed until spring, there is no rational explanation of Kaulbars’s course, save the theory that he is laboring to provoke immediate Russian occupation.’’ During the week there have been incessant reports of great Russian preparations, including the establishment of a big military hospital on the Galican frontier, and the forced march of all troops at the recent Bender maneuvers down into Bessarabia. Oddly enough, while Kaulbars is doing all in his power to pre cipitate war. being iu daily telegraphic communication with the Czar, and while the Russian army is hastily getting ready for action, the Russian Pan-Slaviat press has begun to moderate its zeal, and now counsels leaving Bulgaria to her fate. The pressure of the military party for war is said also to have sensibly abated. The explanation of this probably is that the officers are beginning to reflect upon the physical dis comforts of a winter campaign in the Balkans, and are talking accordingly, while the Czar is too angry and pig-headed to weigh such considerations. Which will dominate probably not even the Czar himself could tell to-day; but in estimating probabilities too much stress ought not to be laid on the idea that war is impossible in winter. The Russians carried Plevna on the 10th of December, and crossed the Trajan pass on the 3d of January, when the thermometer was seventeen degrees below zero. If the Czar wants to fight this year, no dread of ice or snow will deter him for a moment. The signs multiply that the next European war is going to be a horribly bloody affair. Neither the Geneva convention nor the traditions of etiquette in international combats will hamper anybody. Both France and Germany are armed with the latest results of dynamic science, and are able now to destroy a regiment where formerly they killed a corporal’s guard. An American acquaintance of mine went to Vienna yesterday, by request of the War Office, to sub mit to the test anew explosive shell said to rival Bonlanger’a pet in deadliness of execution. The fact is the standing armies of Europe have become sue.h a tremendous burden that there is a tacit agreement between the powers that the sooner the whole diablerie of science is brought into play and warfare made impossible the better it will be for everybody concerned. So the next time dynamite will meet glycerine, and eun-cotton will explode the last relics of Friar Bacon’s fame. _ FOREIGN MISCELLANY. President Diaz Charge* Ex-Marshal llazaine with Treachery. Paris, Oct 11.—The Nouveau Monde publishes a sensational letter from General Diaz, President of Mexico, to tho effect that during the late attempt to establish an empire in Mexico Marshal Bazaine, through a third party, offered to place in his hands the towns occupied by the French and to surrender Maximilian, Miramon and others if ho accepted a oertaiu proposal, which Diaz rejected because he deemed it dishonorable. More Massacres in China. Paris, Oct. 12.— The directors of Catholic missions have been informed that 700 Christians have been massacred in Tanhoa, Tonquin; also, that thirty villages in that district have been burned, and 9,000 inhabitants are starving.

sands of men regularly drill in London, and they boast that they are able to put 100,000 armed men into the streets. The more moderate Socialists fear that the enthusiastic sedulous se-cret-teaching is telling dangerously on East End poverty and ruffianism. Capture of Captain Moonlight. Dublin, Oct 11. —The famous “Captain Moonlight,” who is identified with daring raids in Cork, Clare and Limerick, has been arrested at Kanturk. The Kerry night patrol found six men killing bullocks. They arrested one of the men, who promised to identify his five companions. Petroleum in Ireland. Dublin, Oct 11.—A petroleum spring has been discovered under a house in Sligo. While the floor of the house was being repaired, a quantity of oil suddenly burst forth. The spring affords a good supply of oil. Death of Dr. Abbott. Serlin, Oct. 11. —Dr. Abbott, the American dentist, and the oldest member of the American colony, is dead. * Cable Notes. Father Galeote, who murdered Monsignor Isquierdo, Bishop of Madrid, has been convicted and sentenced to death. La Republique Francaise, discussing the need of neutrality in Egvpt, says that England’s annexation of that country would amount to a casus belli. The Supreme Court at Leinsie, Germany, has rejected the appeal of Herr Bebel and the other Socialist Deputies who were convicted by the court at Freiberg of being members of a secret society, and sentenced to terms of imprisonment of six and nine months. THE AXCUORIA'S LONG VOYAGE. A Safe Deliverance from What Sometimes Appeared a Sit nation of Grave Peril. St. Johns. N. F., Oet. 11.—The steamer Anchoria, Captain Small, left Glasgow on the 18th of September, bound for New York. She had 700 souls on board, including passengers and crew. Orr Sept. 22, four days out, a strong gale sprung up, during which a heavy sea struck the ship, and, in the lurch which she made, tbethaft of the propeller was broken. At the time of the accident she was reckoned to be 1,200 miles west of Ireland. The shock occasioned by the breaking of the shaft threw the ship on her side. Many of the passengers were frightened, hut upon the officers assuring them that there was no danger of sinking, a panic was averted and order restored. Sails were set, and the ship became somewhat steadier, but the rudder gear having been rendered useless, she drifted about from the 22d of September till Wednesday, Oct. 6. Tho ship drifted helplessly about, efforts in the meanwhile being made daily to repair the shaft. On Oct. 6 the engineers effected a temporary repair, and the ship was got under coutrol. The sea was comparatively smooth, and the ship moved slowly in a westerly direction. She made fairly good time till midnight on Thursday, the 7th, then the engines stopped suddenly. Fears were entertained by the passengers that the shaft had again broken, hut they were assured by the officers that such was not the case, and that the engines would be started in the morning. At 10 o'clock on Friday the engines were again started, and when the hundreds of anxious hearts on board heard the propeller moving hopes were entertained that the voyage would soon be over. But these hopes were not to he realized soon, for after fifteen revolutions the shaft broke again, this time beyond ail prospect of being repaired. A consultation was now held by the officers, and the exact position of the ship ascertained. It was found that she was eighty miles off the coast of Newfoundland. As the provisions were running short, all on hoard, in fact, for some days previously having been put on an allowance of two meals per day, the first officer, Mr. Mac.farlane, and seven others volunteered to launch a boat and make for the coast. Among those who volunteered to go in the boat was Mr. Thomas Sntherst. a Loudon barrister, who contested a seat in Liverpool in the Liberal homerule interest. His wife being on board, insisted on accompanying him, but as the trip was deemed too hazardous for a woman, Mrs, Sutherst was impelled to remain behind. Those who went in the boat were First Officer Macfarlane. Mr. Hay. Dr. Tuttle, Dr. Lock Farq'uhar, Mr. Green and two others. The boat’s crew manfully took their places, and the boat was lowered away. They took on hoard a quantity of biscuit iu tins and two casks of water. The sight of the brave fellows as the boat put from the ship’s side affected many to tears, and silent prayers were sent up for their safety. At first no, w r ord was spoken, but the pent-up feelings of the seven hundred persons on board found expression in loud and long cheers and heartfelt cries of “God speed,’’ as the boat disappeared from view. The first officer was instructed by the captain to secure the services of a steamer if the boat reached St. Johns. On Friday the ship made bnt little headway, and the expected steamer did uot come to her assistance on that day, nor during the following night. On Saturdav, at noon, however, the glad erv of “land” rang through the ship. Another volunteer crew were quickly enlisted, consisting this time wholly of passengers, who pulled toward the shore. It subsequently transpired that the first boat nrrived at St. Johns at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon, and the second boat reached Pouchcove. a settlement near Cape Francis, twenty miles north of St. Johns at 4 o’clock in the afternoon of the same day. On his arrival here, the first officer communicated with Sir Ambrose Shea, agent of the Allan line at this port, who immediately negotiated with the local agents, and the steamer Miranda, of the Red Cross line, was dispatched in search of the Anchoria at 6 p M. The steam tug Favorite left about 10 p M., and, though she left four hours after the Miranda, succeeded ir> coming up with the disabled steamer about midnight. The Anchoria was taken in tow. and arrived here as stated above. The ship is awaiting orders from her owners, until the receipt of which no repairs will be made. There were two deaths and two births during the voyage. One of those who died was a Polish Jew and the other a Scotchman. They were buried at sea. The newly born infants anil their mothers are doing well. The passengers who landed at Pouch Cove arrived here at 1:30 o’clock this morning, and were heartily welcomed by their friends on board the steamer.

THE NEGRO AND HIS RIGHTS. General Master Workman Powderly Gives His Views in Strong Language, And Tells Intolerant Southern Bonrbons a Few Great Facts Which Ex-Slaveholders Will Do Well to Study Carefully. Richmond, Va., Oct * 11. —In consequence of questions which have been raised by the presence here of Farrell and other colored delegates to the General Assembly, Mr. Powderly has written the following letter: Mjich has been said and written concerning the events which have transpired in the city of Richmond during the past ten days. As lam responsible for a great deal of the agitation, it is but proper that I should be permitted to speak to as large an audience as. that which listened to those who have criticised, misconstrued and distorted the words and tho idea in tended to be conveyed by my utterances of Oct. 4, when Francis Farrell introduced me to the meeting assembled in the Armory. I stated to the meeting that it was at my request that Mr. Farrell, a represent ative of the colored race, introduced me; it was left to me to make the selection, and I did it after mature deliberation and careful thought. I have not seen nor heard an argument since then that would cause me to do differently todfy. Critics have seen tit to decide what I meant in selecting this mau to introduce me, and they have asserted that my action must be regarded in the tight of an attack upon the laws of social equality. A part of the press of the South has attacked, in a most unjustifiable manner. a man who, under the flag and Constitution of his country, selected another man, aud a citizen of the Republic, to perform a public duty in a public place. In ackn wledging this introduction. I referred to the prejudice which existed against the colored man. If. previous to that. I had any doubts that a prejudice existed, they have been removed by the hasty aud inconsiderate action of those who were so quick to see an insult where none was intended. My object, in selecting a colored man to introduce m e was to encourage and help to uplift his race from a bondage worse than that which held him in chains twenty-five years ago, viz., mental slavery. I desired to impress upon the minds of white and black that the same result followed action in the field of labor, whether that action was on the part of Caucasian or negro labor. Two years ago. in an address delivered in this city, I said to the people of Richmond: “You stand face to face with a stern, living reality, a responsibility which cannot be avoided or shirked. The negro question is as prominent to-day as it ever was. The first proposition that starves us in the face is this: The negro is free; he is here, and he is here to stay. Ho is a citizen, and must learn to manage his own affairs. His labor and that of the white man will be thrown upon the market side by side, and no human eye can detect a difference between the article manufactured by the black mechanic and that manufactured by the white mechanic. Both claim an equal share of the protection offered to American labor, and both mechanics must sink their and fferences or else fall a prey to the slave labor now being imported to this country. - ’ I was not criticised for saying that., and yet it was as susceptible of criticism as my words on Oct. 4. I did not refer to social equality, for that cannot be regulated by law The sanctity of the fireside circle cannot be invaded by those who are not welcome. Every man has the l ight to say who shall enter beneath his roof, who shall occupy the same bed. private conveyance, or such other place as he is master of. I reserve for myself the right to say whom I will or will not associate with; that right belongs to every other man. I have qo wish to interfere with that right. My critics have forgotten that personal liberty and social quality stand side by side. They would deny me the right to make my own selection as to which of the assemb ed representatives should perform a certain duty. Had I selected the colored naan to introduce Gov. Lee. it would have been quite another thing. It is, perhaps, unfortunate that our coming was at a time when political excitement ran high and all things served as excuses for those who -wished to use them. When I heard that there was a likelihood of trouble bee. use Mr. Farrell attended a place of amusement. 1 asked of him not to subject himself to insult by going where he was not welcome. He told me that he had no intention of again going to that or any other place where his presence would give rise to comment. Until that time, I did not know that colored men were denied admittance to the theaters in this city. While I have no wish to interfere with the social relations which exist between the races in the South, i have a strong desire to see the black man educated. Southern labor, regardless of its color, must learn to read and write. Southern cheap labor is more a menace to tbe American toiler than the Chinese, and this labor must be educated. Will my critics show me how the laws of social equality will be harmed by educating the black man so that he may know how to conduct himself as a gentleman? Will they explain how a knowledge of the laws of this country will cause a man to violate the laws of social equality? Will they, in a cool, dispassionate manner, explain to me whether an education will not elevate the moral standard of the colored man, and will they tell me that such a thing is not necessary? Will it be explained to me whether ’the black man should continue to work for starvation wages with so many able-bodied colored men in the South who do not know enough to ask for living wages? It 13 not hard to guess that while this race continues to increase in numbers and ignorance, prosperity will not even knock at the door, much less enter the home of the Southern laborer: and the country that has an abundance of tiled. ill-bred laborers is not, nor cannot be, a prosperous one. Will my critics stop long enough to tell me why the United States Senate allowed a colored man to introduce. before the Vice-president of the United States, measures for the benefit of his State? Were the laws of social equality outraged when the House of Representatives permitted colored men to take seats in it? Why did not other Southern representatives leave and return to their homes when that was done? There nood be no further cause for alarm. The colored representatives to this convention will not intrude where they are not wanted, and the time-honored laws of social equality will be allowed to slumber along undisturbed. We have not done a thing since coming to this city that is not countenanced by the laws and Constitution of our country, and in deference to the wishes of those who regard the laws of social equality as superior to the laws of God and man, we will not. while here, avail ourselves of all of those lights and privtieges which belong to us. The equality of American citizenship is all that we insist on, and that equality must not be trampled upon. Now, a word as to hospitality. We are here under no invitation from anyone. We came of our free will and accord, and are paying our own way; therefore such gratuitous insults as those offered by a few mischievous meddlers are not in oi-der and do not admit of defense, even though given in behalf of the laws of social equality. Ido not hold the people of Richmond responsible for the ill action of the few, who saw a menace in every action The treatment received at the hands of the citizens generally has been most cordial. If. during our stay, any representative shall conduct himself in an unbecoming manner, ho alone will be held r< sponsible for his action. To the convention. I say, let no member surrender an iota of intellectual freedom because of any ciaraor. Hold fast to that which is true and right. The triumph of noise over reason is but transient. Our principles will be better known, if not to-day it mav be to-mor-row. They can bide their time, and will some day have the world for an audience. In the field of labor and American citizenship we recognize no line of race, creed, politics or color. The demagogue may distort, for a purpose, the words of others, and. for a time, the noise of tho vocal boss may silence reason; but that which is right and true will become known when the former has passed to rest and the sound of the latter’s voice has forever died away. Then it will be known that the intelligent, educated man is bettor qualified to discern the difference between right and privilege, and the unwritten law of social equality will be more rigidly observed than it is to-day. T. V. Powderly.

Tli© A|)n*tl(*s of Plunder and Murder. Chicago. Oct. 11.—Forty arrests wore made to-day by Captain Schaack and his officers in their endeavors to capture the men who mobbed the Anarchist informer Gottfried Wilier, yesterday. Four of the men arrested were identified bv Wilier, and were held without bail. Among them is the man whom Wilier shot. He is only slightly wounded. It has been kept secret until this evening that, on several nights last week, parties of mon visited the residence of Major Cole, in the suburbs, with the evident intention of maltreating and terrorizing himself and family, and possibly assassinating him. Major Cole was one of the jurors in the Anarchist case. On each of the nights iu question he was in the city, and beyond greatly frightening the inmates of his house by threats, nothing occurred until Thursday night, when, as Major Cole was returning from the theater, he was seized by ruffians in a lonely spot near his home. A pistol was pressed to his forehead, and he had given himself up for lost; wnen the sounds of an approaching carriage caused the assailauts to release him and flee. An Attempt oil the Life a Priest. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 11. —Intense excitement prevails among the Polish residents of the South Side over an alleged attempt to assassinate the liev. Father Miskewitz, who presides over the littlo Polish church at the head of Fifteenth street It occurred about 11 o’clock yesterday morning, while the priest stood before the altar. Mass had been aaid, and the father had just turned to address the congregation, when crash came a bullet through a window on the south aide of the church, flattening itself against the

solid wall on the opposite side. For a minute confusion reigned in the church. Women screamed, choir boys shouted, and many of the male members of >be congregation either pressed forward to see if Father Miskewitz was injured, or rushed out of the building to find were the bullet came from. The priest showed great coolness, notwithstanding the fact that the missile most have passed within six inches of his body. If it had been fired a minute sooner it would have passd through him. He turned, and with a gesture waved his flock to their seats, but not all of them, for by this time upward of a hundred had swarmed out into the street and into the yard of the Paris building adjoining. No trace of the perpetrator or the deed could be found. There has been a good deal of trouble between different factions in this church in time past, the most recent being a long and bitter fight with a company of Hussars, which the pastor refused to recognize. THE THJEISS BOT COTTERS. Governor Hill Commotes the Sentences and the Prisoners Are Forthwith Released. Albany, N. Y., Oct. 11.—Governor Hill has commuted to 100 days each the terms of imprisonment of Michael Struh and a number of other boycofcters, who were convicted with him and sentenced to imprisonment for terms ranging from one year and a half to three years and eight months. These are the men who forced Brewer Theiss to pay a large sum of money to secure the removal of the boycott upon his beer hall, on the ground that the sum extorted had been expended iu prosecuting the boycott. Governor Hill makes the point that these men did not know that they were violating the law in doing as thev did. such construction of their acts never before having been laid down by the courts; that they did not demand this money secretly or for their own use; that the money was actually expended in the boycott; and that when collected from Theiss it was returned to the union which advanced it. The application of the law having been established, and the Governor having assurances both from the prisoners and from the Central Labor Union that they will hereafter implicitly obey it, and refrain from exacting daraaeea for the expense of prosecuting boycotts, the ends of justice have been attained; hence the commutation, which he grants, stipulatingdistinctly that future violators of this statute need expect no clemency from him. Under the commutation, the terms of the prisoners expire to day. OUTDOOR SPORTS, Closing Games of the Season of the American Base-Ball Association. Washington.

No Mind-Cure In Dentistry. Boston Record. Out in Chicago a woman dentist has made something of a name for herself as a skillful worker in the mouths of others. Her office is in a large building haunted by musicians, and elocutionists and doctors of both sexes, who fill its offices from top to bottom. There are. of course, several mind cure doctors among them, for Chi cago is well up in metaphysical notions, but the woman dentist consulted them in vain about a subject which it seems she has had on her mind ever since she began to pull teeth for a living. She hates to hurt people with her forceps and

her fillers, and she came to Boston the other day, to the fountain head of the-mind cure, determined to learn how to pursue her vocation and not inflict pain. She went to see a well-known mind-curist and eravelv stated her business. “I am convinced from mr etudv that there ia no matter," she said, ‘‘and I want to know how to convince people under roy hands that 1 don't hurt them. If they would only think I don’t, I wouldn't." She received no light, however, and has gone back to Chicago a sadder woman, and less sanguine than when she came that Boston knows all that is necessary for the welfare of creation. Colonel Merrill for Auditor, so tlie Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I see that Col. Samuel Merrill is a candidate for auditor of Marion county. Will you allow me, although a straneer to many of your readers. to say a word regarding him? My acquaintance with Colonel Merrill began when I was a student in Franklin College, and ripened into * warm friendship when we became associated a* officers in tbe army. I knew him as 1 have known few men, and my respect for him deepened as ray knowledge increased. After the lapse of nearly a quarter of a century I recall with great vividness his conversation with me regarding moral and social questions, army life and temptations, politics and tbe great issues involved ie the war. His views were those of a clear thinker, a statesman and a patriot. He hated everything that was low and mean and loved everything that was true and noble. I have met few men with motive* so pure, with a standard of moral conduct so high, or who so habitually seemed to be governed by conscience and good sense. When the question arose about arming tha the negro, Colonel Merrill early advocated it and gnve to it his most earnest aid. He believed the colored man should be treated as a man. and that the young officers who entered the colored service should be honored and treated the same as officers of white regiments. No man in the army at that time, of my acquaintance, took a livelier interest in that great question of human freedom, the emancipation of the slave, the enlistment of colored soldiers, the giving the ballot to the colored man, than did Colonel Merrill. He wrote articles for the public press, drew up letters of recommendation, counseled with officer*, advising and encouraging them, urged colored men to enlist, and thus greatly contribute to the success of those measures which gave the colored men a chance to prove their manhood and win for themselves a proud place among men. 1 do not know how many colored voters there, are iu Marion county, but I suppose, of couse, every one of them will be eager to testify his appreciation of Colonel Merrill’s services to the colored race by casting his own ballot for Him and urging his white acquaintances to do thf) same. I am not a politician, and know nothing of party lines iu your county, but I could not resist the inclination to sav a good word for a maa who, for so many years, has lived an honorable, noble life among us; who. in the hour of national peril, ventured all for his country; who befriended the colored man when he most needed friends, and who, as citizen and soldier, has always merited the confidence and esteem of all.
