In the clause of Section 4 relating to duties of officers an amendment was made by which, in case of death, resignation or removal of the general master workman, the general worthy foreman shall succeed and perform all the duties of and become general master workman until the next session of the General Assembly, when there shall be an election to fill the position. In Section 9. relating to State assemblies, amendments were adopted by which the formation of State assemblies is made optional instead of compulsory. Further amendments were adopted by which tho jurisdiction of existing district assemblies remains unchanged unless they themselves consent to chanee. The General Assembly also resolved not to interfere with national tTades districts, and an amendment in the sections relating to them was adopted providing that no local assembly shall be compelled to join a district assembly, thus pei mitting trade local assemblies to retain their independence. Another amendment, which was adopted, provides for an interchange of working cards, with tradeunions agrei iiig to reciprocate by receiving Knights of Labor cards. The General Assembly adjourned until Monday. When such portions of the revision of the constitution as it is determined to act on at the present session will be disposed of. Business was transacted with such dispatch in the afternoon that some delegates entertain hopes of an adjournment on Monday evening, A number of delegates left for their homes to-dav. but the great majority wili carry out their determination to remain until the work of the convention is concluded. THE STRIKE AT CHICAGO. A Quiet Day at the Stockyards—Heavy Force of Pinkerton Men on Guard. Chicago, Oct 16.—“1t is war now for sore,” raid a stockman, as be stood on the Transit House steps after bis breakfast. At this hour, usually so marked by the crowds of men on their way to work, there was little sign of life on the street Where a week ago thousands of men trooped through the big gate leading to the yards, scarcely a dozen at a time could now be seen. Over in the Exchange Building, usually teeming with cattle buyers and sellers at this early hour, eager and noisy as so many Board of Trade speculators, the great hall was almost deserted. A passenger train came in on the Michigan Southern tracks, bnt instead of pulling up on the usual side-track at the depot, the engine icept on around “the Horn,” and took the three .loaches up to Forty-seventh street, and stopped at the alley which leads down to Armour & Co.'s houses. Nearly two hundred men alighted and walked to the office, where they were given jumpers and overalls, and set to work in the old house. The precautions for guarding the property of the packers have been greatly increased. In the Town Hall are a score of cots, on which the regular police tileep. Telegraph wires lead to each of the packing-houses, and night and day operators Are OD duty. The watchmen at the packing-houses report by signal to the telephone office every half hour, and the patrol wngon crew is ready for duty at a moment's notice. Electric lights have been hung throughout all the alley-wavs and illuminate every nook and corner, turning the darkest night into the brightest day. Last, bnt by no means least, in the protective measure is the Piukertou force. Their barracks in Washington Butchers' Sons’ packing-house presents the appearance of a military camp. All through the day and night sentinels, armed with Winchester rifles, pace up and down the alleyways and tracks which surround it. The strikers have extended the boycott until it is now an absolute impossibility for a Pinkerton man to purchase anything in the neighborhood. The nsu&l crowds of idle men remained in the vicinity of the pack-ing-houses to-day, and besought all men who could be reached not to go to work. Applicants for work went out on the regular and special passenger trains, and were landed at the doors of the packing houses, which were guarded by armed patrols. The strikers stopped a wagon containing clothing and bedding for the Piukertou men. just outside the city limits, today, aud handled the driver roughly, throwing the clothing in the street. A wagon loaded with bread for the Pinkerton guards was outside the city limits, aud when the police arrived the wagon had disappeared. Messrs. Butler and Barry, the Knights of Labor delegates, had a conference this afternoon with Samuel Allerton, Sidney Kent and Michael Cudahy, of the Packers' Association, the latter representing P. D. Armour. The conference was a pleasant one. Mr. Allerton said that the packers had tried the eight-hour system long enough to be thoroughly convinced that it was a failure, and they were now resolved to have ten hours or nothing. The delegates were informed that all the packine-houses would start up on Monday with new men, and by Saturday it was expected a full force would be at work. If the strikers did not r eport for work oh Monday they would not be taken back, as the packers would continue to keep the men who had stood by them in their extremity. To-night the stockyards were cleared of outsiders, co one being admitted unless known or possessing credentials. The force of Pinkerton guards has been increased, and all parts of the yards are carefully guarded. The Switchmen’s Strike at Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Oct. 16. —The switchmen’s strike stands in statu quo. Superintendent Egan, of the Manitoba, complains that a crowd of two hundred strikers, this afternoon, uncoupled the cars and killed the engines of a train-load of wheat that the company was trying to move; also, that tho police refuse to interfere, and Mayor Ames cannot lie found. He says: “We have not had any trouble in moving our trains in St. Paul, and don't expect any. Mayor Rice has ordered his force to protect us and our property, and they are doing it.” In St. Paul trains are being moved, and the places of strikers are being filled by conductors and brakemen, trains left by conductors being taken care of by baggagemen. Prominent men among the Minneapolis strikers express willingness to adopt the suggestion of the jobbers' association and submit the question to arbitration.

RELIGIOUS MATTERS. The Episcopal Convention Votes Against Changing the Name of the Church. Chicago, Oct. 16 —The galleries and lobby of Central Music Hall Fere crowded to the utmost this morning, when the Protestant Episcopal Convention opened, as it was known that the great debate on the proposition to drop the words “Protestant Episcopal" in designating the church, would close. Morning prayer was said by Rev. Hobart Chelwood, of California, and the benediction was 'pronounced by Bishop Tuttle, of Missouri. The discussion was opened by Dr. Stringfellow, of Alabama, who argued for a postponement of consideration of the question, on the ground that the time was not ripe. Rev. Mr. Stoddard, of Northern New Jersey, held to the same view. Mr. McConnell, of Louisiana, bitterly opposed the proposition to change the name of the church, and Dr. Sheenfield, of Virginia, took the same view. The debate was then closed by Mr. Judd, who contended that the opposition did not represent the progressive spirit which should actuate the church. The church should take on its broad and true name, and this was not to be confounded with Romanism. Mr. Judd spoke for twenty minutes, considering the question from all points, and when the hour of 11 o’clock had arrived the debate was declared closed. The names of the clerical delegates were called first, and were Quite evenly divided on the proposition, bnt the sentiment of the lay delngates was more generally opposed to the proposition. The vote by dioceses was as follows, forty nine dioceses voting: A majority of the the clericals in seventeen dioceses voted yea, a majority voted nay in twenty-two, and in ten dioceses were evenly divided. In forty-four dioceses, the majority of the lay delegates in eleven dioceses voted yea, and in twenty-nine dioceses voted nay, and in four were evenly divided. The total vote was—yeas 112, nays 185. The report of the joist committee on liturgical revision was submitted and laid on the table to await the action of the House of Bishops. The report is one of unusual length, embodying numerous memorials for revision of the Prayerbook. The convention then adjourned until next Monday. The Congregational Council. CHICAGO, Oct. 16.—When the Congregational Council was called to order to-day Prof. Benner, president of the Salt Lake Academy, spoke against polygamy. The following was adopted: “Resolved, That we recognize with respect a loyal and intelligent minority resident in Utah, and that we protest in advance against the admission of Utah as a State, at any time, without the consent of that loyal minority.” A short report on the new West education commission was read, and the churches were urged to take more interest in assisting the work of education in the West. The committee on clerical standing offered the following resolutions* “Resolved, That standing in the Congregational ministry is acquired bv three conditions—first, membership in a Congregational Church; second, ordination to the Christian ministry; third, reception as an ordained minister iuto tho fellowship of the Congregational churches in accordance with the usage of the State or Territorial organization of churches in which the applicant may reside, and such standing is to be continued in accordance with that usage. ‘‘Resolved. That, all Congregational ministers thus in good standing in their respective States, who have been installed by council, or who have been regularly called to the pastorate by the specific vote of some church, have formally accepted such position, and have been recognized as such by some definite act of the church, should be enrolled as pastors, aud we advise that all our denominational statistics—and direct that so far as possible our year-book—conform to this principle.” The resolutions were adopted and, after prayer, the council adjourned till afternoon. At the opening of the afternoon session the Rev. L. H. Cobb, D. D., the secretary of the American Congregational Union, read a report covering the last three years, which was adopted. The report shows average receipts per year of $98,786.50. which is larger than the reoeipts for any previous three consecutive years. In 1884, 102 churches received aid in building houses of worship, and the number for the succeeding years foot up an average of seven buildings for church use every three weeks. The report shows a falling off in the receipts of the Union from $123,216 in 1866, to $23,500 in 1879. Os late, however, receipts have begun to increase again. The Union has 1,413.000 adherents, and the report suggests that if 2.000.000 is reached, and the . receipts reach $1,250,000, the Union might at least give SBOO,OOO in the space of a year. Two hundred thousand dollars a year is urgently needed and applied for. The committee on Dr. Cobb’s report reported tho following resolution: “Resolved, That $300,000 are needed annually for the next three years for the important work of this society, that it may meet the regular demands upon its treasury, and advance the new works which the providence of God are laying at its door—sloo,ooo of this sum to be used in helping the new Swede churches on the frontier; SIOO,OOO for the new great work in our great cities, this last sum to be raised by contribution in large sums from individual donors.” Rev. W. H. Ward, D. D.. read tbe report of the committee on Indian affairs. It is exhaustive, aud f resents an encouraging aspect of the situation, luring the period from 1881 to 1886, the Indians had made greater progress than during any similar period. The number of acres of land cultivated by them has risen from 206,421 to 267,938 —about 30 per cent. Tho number of day schools had increased from 106 to 352. of boarding-schools, on reservations, from 64 to 86. The report closed with a set of resolutions expressing gratitude on account of the attitude of the government toward the Indians, and asking Congress to provide for their admission to citizenship. Mr. Ennamani, a Dakota Indian, was introduced at this point, and gave, through an interpreter, an account of his conversion. Tho Rev. Dr. Dexter presented a resolution which was adonted, thanking the municipal government of the city of Leyden, Holland, for its courtesy in placing in the wall of the Church of St. Peter a monumental tablet to John Robinson, who is held in reverence as largely the founder of the churches. Dr. S. H. Virgin, of New York, reported on temperance, and resolutions were adopted recognizing the unfinished condition of the conflict with intemperance. and declaring cordial sympathy with all workers seeking by Christian methods to destroy the practice of using intoxicating liquors. A resolution on the Mormon question was read by Dr. Moore, recommei (ling the appointment of a committee to proceed to L tah and make a thorough examination of Mormonisin, and report upon a plan of action concerning it. The question of ministerial aid was then discussed at considerable length, the Rev. Henry Fairbanks, of Ve mont, and Samuol H. Virgin. D. I).. cf New York, taking part in it. After a desultory discussion on the subject of Mormonism and the holding of a caucus the committee adjourned until Monday morning.

ANECDOTES OF GRANT. His Effective Rebuke of tbe Luxury-Loving Officers of the Army of the Potomac. Washington Letter in Boston Traveller. An officer who served on Grant’s staff daring the war said to tbe Traveller’s correspondent today: “The first time I ever saw Grant was when be came to take command of the array. This was at Brandy Station. We had been accustomed to see McCleilen, Halleck, Burnside, and the other generals go abont from brigade to brigade and division to division attended by a cloud of gorgeously-uniformed staff officers, and, of course, we expected that Grant’s arrival would have a great deal of show in it We were awaiting his arrival, knowing that ha was on his way, when a freight train rolled in. There was a caboose on the end, and out jumped two men. One of them was a short stumpy man, with a full brown beard. He wore a black slouch hat, tipped down on his eyes, and as he picked his way over tbe railroad tracks to the station, a soldier who had been stationed at Fort Donelson shouted, ‘Here’s Grant, boys.’ On the platform was General Ingalls, the com-missary-general of the army, and who was one of Grant's classmates. He recognized his old comrade, and they shook hands for a moment. Then Ingalls invited his commander to take a seat in a four in hand which was waiting. It was raining, but Grant stood awhile and looked over the turnout; then he got inside and drove to headq carters. Gen. Ingalls had provided a most magnificent dinner for the new commandef Grant sat and ate heartily, and after he had finished he turned and inquired: ‘lngalls, where did yon get all this stuff?’ The commissary-general replied with some pride that he had had it brought down from Washington expressly for theev-mt Then Grant wanted to know if the soldier * were in the habit of getting a layout like that. Upon being answered in the negative, Grant said: ‘lngalls, I have been in the habit of eating a soldier’s rations. What's good enough for them is good enough forme,’ Ingalls didn’t neglect to take the hint, aud there were no more gorgeous banquets ter that hi the headquar. ters of the Army of the Potomao. After this episode Grant smoked, and finally said: ‘One more question, Ingalls. Where did you get that four in-hand?’ ‘lt has been attached to the headquarters for the use of the commanding general for a long time, sir, was the response. Grant never changed his expression as he replied: T don't want it here, Rufus; the next time we need it it will be used in the field as an ambulance’— aud it was." Miner Fatally Injured. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville, Ind, Oct. 16. —Daniel Meyers, a miner at the Ingleside mines, was caught by a quantity of slate which had broken from above, and was buried beneath the heavy mass.

The Knights of Father Mathew will give a social tonight at their hall, corner of Georgia and Tennessee streets. Bails Campbell will address tho meeting. Marriage licenses were procured yesterday by John A. Stillwell and Amy C. Brown, Elmer D. Millett and Jemima A. Anderson, George Taylor and Hester Lyle. It appears that there was no foundation for the reEort circulated that John Colbert was stabbed in a ght at the corner of South and Tennessee streets, Thursday night. John Reddington, the Valparaiso man arrested for violating the internal revenue laws, yesterday morning. gave bond for his appearance before the United States grand jury. It has been decided advisable by the officers of the German Orphans’ Home to close the building to-day, so far as visitors are concerned. The grounds, though, can be entered as usual. The Cerealine Manufacturing Company, of Columbus. was incorporated yesterday, with a capital stock of $500,000. The directors are Thomas J. Gaff, Joseph F. Gent and Richard Thomas. The High-school debating club was reorganised Friday by the classes of 'B7. The officers elected for the first term are: President. Lewis A. Stoneman; vicepresident, Oel Thayer, and secretary, Miss Mary M ax well "The Church at Work,” tbe new religious publication of which Revs. E. P. Whallen, R. V. Hunter and G. L. McNutt are the editors, has made its appearance. It is a neat looking eight-page sheet, with thirty-two columns of interesting matter about ch ureh work. In answer to an assertion in tbe Colored World, vesterday, that Dr. S. A. Elbert had voted for Dr. W. B. Fletcher and Dr. Youart, Democratic candidates for office. Dr. Elbert writes to the Journal: "I deny the charge. If an affidavit will be made to tho charge it will be investigated.” Changes In the City’s Water Contract. The finance committee has deferred action on tho water contract, at the request of the water company* whose officers represented that they had a proposition that would be satisfactory to the city. Last night when the comm ttee met it was expected General Morris and Colonel Hendricks would be present, but they failed to come and the secretary of the company alone represented them. He made a statement in regard to the company’s affairs, being much the same as that he had given on several occasions. But several of the oommittee felt that the delay had brought forth no good result, and and proposed to adhere to the action heretofore taken, the aldermen insisting on a retention of their price of for each fire-plug, and the councilmen favoring their proposition to pay SSO per plug, on a sixteenmonths’ contract. It was expressed that if the Legislature gave the city relief in authority to levy special taxes on vehicles* a longer contract might be given; but in the present condition of municipal revenues it was useless to talk about any liberali*y to the company to the extent it wishes. The feeling of the majority was that if the company had more liberal regulations as to private consumers it would not be necessary for it to seek to make its revenue off tlve city. It was finally voted, six yeas to three nays, to report back the ordinance amended so as to give a three-years' contract at $45 for each plug. This will boa saving of $4 4-10 per year. The minority differed from this only in insisting on a five-years’ contract. Bovett Again Placed Under Arrest. Tho grand jury failed to indict John Bovott who shot A. J Sloan. A defect in the affidavit ocourred in naming Frank Sloan as tho party shot. Bovett was rearrested last night on the charge of assault and bat* tery with intent to kUL Wall-papkrs —Beautiful new patterns just received in cheap goods at Albert Gall’s.

DISCUSSING THE CAMPAIGN ISSUES. Enthnsiasticßepnblican Meeting’s Last Night Addressed b.y Mr. Harrison and Others. The Republican meeting held last night at the Fayette-street Rink was one of the most enthusiastic and satisfactory of the campaign. It was opened by Wm. H. Russell and organized by selecting Rev. J. M. Harris president, with a representative list of vice-presidents. The first speaker of the evening was Senator Harrison, who made an eloquent and telling speech, in which he showed the opulence of Democratic promise and the poverty of Democratic performance. The speech was listened to with the closest attention. He was followed in brief speeches by Hon. A. C. Harris, Col. Samuel Merrill and Joseph Kealing. Music for the occasion was furnished by the B:g Six Brass Band and the Eureka Glee Club. The Republicans of tho South Side had a good meeting at the Yirginia-avenue Rink last night, the speakers being Charles F. Griffin and John W. Lovett. The colored band of the city played very well several patriotic airs, after which Gen. Carnahan introduced Mr. Griffin, the candidate for Secretary of State. This gentleman, for an hour or more, spoke of the short-comings of the Democracy, its failure to satisfy even its own people, and its total disregard cf the promises made when they were begging for the control of the government. He interspersed his remarks with many sayings of epigrammatic force. He said the administration had cone far enough in civil-service reform to demand of applicants for office a certificate to the effect that tney had not been in the penitentiary. Referring to the iahor problem, he said the Democrats had a great deal to account for, since more workingmen and women were out of employment now than for many years past. The audience responded to this with cries of “Right," “Right.” His speech found earnest attention and abundant appiause. Mr. Lovett, of Anderson, was equally fortunate in holding his auditors to a keen interest in tho topics of the campaign that he discussed. His speech referred to the State issues and with no leniency he cave the false pretensions, the bad management and utter incapacity of the Democratic, party, the criticism they deserved. He was particularly strong in exposing the infamy of the gerrymander aud the subserviency of tho Democratic Legislature to the rule of party at the expense of the people’s rights. The meeting had a fine effect in encouraging the South-side Republican who are making a vigorous effort to hold the ground they so nobly won iD the spring campaign. Attractions of a Churcli Fair. The Yirginia-avenue Rink will be occpied with a fair and series of entertainments next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings fortbe benefit of Southstreet Baptist Church. On Tuesday evening there will be music and recitations, in which Mrs. Levering, Mrs. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Smith and others will participate.

On Thursday evening there will be a programme of interesting features, to conclude with the laughable “Sale of Old Maids,” with John G. Blake as salesman. After each entertainment the ladies will serve refreshments. A Residence Partially Destroyed by Fire. A two-story frame house on Prospect street, occupied by the family of Charles Raymond, and owned by an Eastern insurance company, caught fire last night at 11 o'clock from a stove during the absence of the family.

MENTHOLIZED VAPOR strikes at the root of me^r * I the disease by freeing the adhering mucous, stimulating and quickening* capillary circula£2 tion, thus restoring the mucus membrane to its normal condition by allaying inflammation C_-> oo and giving activity to the capillary vessels.

MENTHOLIZED VAPOR, the latest, most complete and best, has stepped in front of its predecessors, and with clinching arguments engages the attention or j. the public. Is it then to be wondered at that its overshadowed competitors cry out in despair: “Basely . less imitators,” destroyers of “antiseptic remedy,” “frauds”?
