Washington Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer. While at the White House to-day an Enquirer representative asked Private Secretary Larnont if the published reports were true that the President bad called upon federal officials in Indiana to explain the charges against them of a violation of the Presidents civil service order preferred by Mr. Swift* of the Civil-service Association, in taking part in political conventions and assisting Democratic candidates both to nomination and election. “They are not,” was Colonel Lamont’s emphatic reply. “Has he referred Mr. Swift’s charges to these officials against whom they have been madel” was asked. “He has not." agaio replied the President’s private secretary, iust as emphatically* The Enqnirer representative then went over to the Treasury Department Entering the office of Acting Secretary Fairchild, the latter was asked if the charges against certain Indiana officials above alluded to have been referred to him by the President to be forwarded to the offending officials for explanation. “There has been only one case of the kind sent here from the White House." answered the Assistant Secretary, “and that is the case of the collector of internal revenue at Indianapolia" “Oh. Colonel Lamontsaid, a few moments ago, ( that the President had not called upon any of the officials for an explanation, and that non£ of the charges had been referred. ’• “Oh,” said Mr. Fairchild, “if you have talked to Colonel Lamont about the matter I do not care to say anything at all about it.”

MRS. EMMONS’S INSANITY. A Scandal Involving a Professor of the Geelogical Survey. New York. Oct. 19.— A Washington special Xo the World says: “The World of March 11 published the application of S. F. Emmons, one of the geologists of the United States Geological Survey, to have his wife declared insane and her property placed in his possession. He stated in his application to the equity court that his wife had $27,000 worth of Beil telephone stock and $7 ,500 worth of jewels. Three certificates of insanity, signed by Drs. W. Johnston, Lincoln and Walter Kempsted, of Chicago, were filed in connection with the application. v Very little was heard of the proceedings by the public after the formal application. It is now learned that Mrs. Emmons was formally declared insane and was taken to the BloomiDgdale Asylum. Afterwards she was transferred to a private asylnm in Connecticut, and was later taken to auother asylum in Rhode Island. From that asylum she was released, the officer in charge of it refusing to keep her, declaring that she was sane. Mrs. Emmons returned to this city several weeks ago, immediately on her release, and is now preparing, through her counsel, to recover the control of her property, and will undoubtedly bring a suit for divorce against her husband. Mr. Emmons is now absent in the West, looking after a cattle ranch which he owns. Mrs. Emmons charges that she was drueged, and that the certificate of her insanity was obtained while she was under the influence of the drug. She, of course, believes that money was used to get the certificate, but the character of the physicians who signed the certificate makes that improbable. Mrs. Emmons is very well known in New York and Washington through her many eccentricities. She is very fond of horses, and has a reputation for driving and managing the most difficult teams. She has made a number of sensations in Washington by her reckless driving. She was the mysterious lady rider who so attracted the attention of President Arthur by her mad ridine over the smooth roads of the government reservation below the White-house lot. She is the lady who made such a sensation at Long Branch, a year ago last suqimer, by appearing on the beach in a Turkish lady’s dress ae a bathing suit, accompanied by a huge St. Bernard dog, a maid, and a black bov. She was angry because she was not permitted to take the doe bathing with her, and qunrreled afterwards with Mr. Hildreth, the propritor of the West-end Hotel, so that she loft Long Branch. She says that some time ago she discovered the fact that her husband had been devoted to another woman sc-me five years: that she purchased from the woman in question 100 letters written by her hnbby to the friend, paying at least $5 for each letter. ELECTION SUPERVISION. Circular from the Department of Justice to United States Marshals. Washington, Oct. 19.—The Department of Justice has. sent a copy of the following circular letter to each United States marshal:* “Sir—ln pursuance of a letter of the stb inst., from the President, directing the Attorney-gen-eral to take charge of the ‘appointment of special deputy marshals, the performance of their duties and their compensation,’ together with ‘the compensation of supervisors at the congressional elections in November ■ next,’your attention is directed to the provisions of Titles 24 and 26, Chapter 7, Title 70, of the Revised Statutes.

It is assumed that the duties can be performed without infringing upon the rights of any citizen, in a manner that shall be firm and at the same time free from any unnecessary display of authority. It is not expected that supervisors and deputy marshals will receive compensation for more than five days’ service, and they should be so informed.

Before payment, each deputy and supervisor will present to you his commission, oath and badge of office, with an affidavit that he is the persons to whom the com mission was issued, that he performed the days’ services as charged, which will be annexed by you to the pay-roll as vouchers for its adjustment.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBEB 20, 1886.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS The Daily Chronicle of Happenings of All Kinds in the Two States. A Sensational Incident Connected with Mrs. Woodworth’s Meetings—Passenger Train Wrecked—Suicide of a Shoe Merchant. INDIANA. Evangelist Woodworth’s Business Manager Proves To Bea Rascal. Special to the Indianaoolis Journal. Muncie, Oct. 19.—Almost three weeks ago Mrs. Maria B. Woodworth, an evangelist of some note, began a series of meetings at this place. She was accompanied by a number of persons who were prominent workers at each service, and who were the loudest sbouters and offered the longest prayers. Among this number was one Thomas Dempsey, a rather shrewd, intelligent-looking fellow. He appeared in the role of business m&naeer for the evangelistic aggregation. He preceded the company, made contracts, and arranged for holding the cajnp-meetings, 'and then returned to assist in the work. Yesterday closed Mrs. Woodworth’s engagement at this place, and they left last evening for Indianapolis. Quite a sensation was created in this city just prior to their departure by the arrival of a little lady, handsome and intelligent, who claims to be and is the legal wife of Dempsey. Dempsey, however, has been for the past five months traveling with a woman whom he alleged was his wife. Mrs. Dempsey says her husband left her about five months ago, since which time she has been unable to hear from him. She lives with her parents near Fairmount, and, with them, enjoys the esteem of all. Her parents are among the most reputable people in that locality. While the Woodworth combination wore holding meetings near her home, he claimed to have been converted, and afterward, when they were conducting meetings at Windfall, he joined them and since that time he has been continuously with the party and away from hiß wife. Mrs. Dempsey says these people have tried to deceive her and to delude her in all ways possible. Her letters asking information as to his whereabouts would either be returned to her or remained unanswered. She says she will proceed at once to secure a divorce from him. She returned to her home by way of Anderson this afternoon. Dempsey and an Italian, who is a member of the evangelistic party, sneaked out of the city early this morning. A special to the News, of this city, this evening, from Anderson, says: Tbe deserted wife of Dempsey, the camp-meeting manager, arrived in the city at 10 o’clock this morning. The affrighted camp-meeting manager, who has been dodging her for two days, had men watching the depot, and when she came iu he was notifieo, and then lost no time in securing a carriage and leaving the town. Evidently he fears arrest. The alleged Mrs. Dempsey was sent to Farmlaud last night, after being turned out of the hotel here. It is explained that Mr. and Mrs. Woodworth know nothing of any suspicious relations existing between these parties, and it is to be hoped that this is true. At any rate the revelation has created such a sensation as Muncie has not known in a long time.

Soldiers’ Reunion at Wabash. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . Wabash, Oct. 19.—Since last evening the streets have been thronged with soldiers, members of the Eighth, Eighteenth and One-hun-dred-and-fifty-third Indiana regiments, and the First Indiana Battery, flocking hither to attend tbe second annual reunion.

Routine business of the society, including the election of officers for the ensuing year, occupied the succeeding hour, the following gentlemen being chosen to serve in an official capacity: President, John Baker. Andersen; secretary, James L. Moore, Anderson; treasurer, David E. Houston, Pendleton. Anderson was selected as the place for holding the next meeting, and, after a few moments’ social intercourse, the members adjourned for supper. At 7 o’clock, the hour for the evening meeting, tbe Opera-house was packed to its utmost capacity, and many were unable to gain admittance. The quartet sang a selection. Rev. G. E. Mahin, of the M. E. Church, invoked divine blessing. Hon. Stanton J. Peelle, of Indianapolis, was then introduced, and delivered a splendid address, which was applauded to the echo. He was followed bv Col. James B. Black, of Indiananolis, in an able effort, and following, an elocutionary interpolation by Miss Iva Christman was enthusiastically received. Capt. B. F. Williams then spoke brieflv on “Onr Army;” CoL Chas. S. Parrish of “Onr Dead,” and Nelson G. Hunter of the “Loyal Women of the Rebellion.” Brief speeches were then made by members, interesting tales of army life were narrated, and at a late hour the reunion closed, all the visitors expressing the best degree of satisfaction with the treatment accorded them by the people of Wabash.

The Employes of Kingan’s Refuse to Accede to an Order from the Firm. The quiet that has reigned in Indianapolis labor circles was suddenly disturbed last evening by the announcement that there was an impending strike of the thousand employes of Kingan’s large pork-packing establishment For the past year the men have been working nine hours per day and receiving eleven hours’ pay. The firm became tired of this plan, and for some time has been considering the matter of making a change, which they decided on Monday to do. Yesterdav at noon the men were notified that hereafter they would bo required to do ten hours work, and receive for it ten nours’ pay. The order was received with disfavor by all the workmen, and a meeting was called last evening. W hen the day’s work was finished the employes assembled, and by a unanimous vote decided that they would not accept the proposed terms, and gave the firm notice that tbev would allow them until Saturday evening to decide whether or not the old nine-hour bystem would be continued. After the meeting adjourned one of them went to Captain Colbert, of the police force, and asked hun what assistance the police would render them in case of a strike, and was informed that the police would have but one thing to do, and that would be to maintain the peace. The employes are nearly all Knights of Labor.
