press, then Carlisle would be nominated as his successor and get back again. This plan was all arranged, bat the Democrats pot their work in elsewhere. Poor old “Horizontal Bi H* Morrison is looking around for someone in Illinois to resign, so he can be nominated in his place, but but so far he has been unsuccessful. His friends are foolish enough to mention him for the Turkish mission, but he will never get It. An Indianian was here to-day, and said he came on to try and get the President to give Judge Lowry, of Indiana, a consulship way off somewhere whence he would never be able to get home. They say the Democrats are thoroughly disgusted with him because his Republican opponent had 2,500 majority in a district which usually gives 3,000 the other way. Tlie Pestilent's Country Home. Washington, Nov. 11.—The President's country home has been called by various names—- “ Pretty Prospect,” “Red Top,” “Analostan,” and soon, but none of them have ever been sanctioned by its owner. To-day, however, the President sid Mrs. Cleveland decided to christen it “Oak View.” This name is particularly appropriate, as there is a very handsome grove of oak trees near the house, while no one who has driven by the spot can have failed to observe the magnificent view from it It is expected that Oak View will be ready for occupancy in ten days or a couple of weeks. The President and Mrs. Cleveland do not intend to reside there this fall, nor do they at present contemplate living there permanently at all. Mrs. Folsom will occupy the house as her home, and it wili always be available for the President and Mrs. Cleveland to go and come as they please. The Next House. Washington, Nov. 11.—Secretary McPherson, of the Republican committee, now figures it out that the Republicans will have 153 members in the next House. This is claiming the election of Symes. Republican, in Colorado. Then, if the three labor candidates are counted with the Democrats, they will have 171 members. If the Democrats have elected Reed in Colorado, as to-day’s dispatches indicate, then • next House will contain 172 Democrats and 152 Republicans. TELEGRAPHIC 15REVITIES. The shingle mill of Kizer & Williams, northeast of Edmore, Mich., was burned on Wednesday night The night watchman, John Hayes, aged twenty-six, was burned to a crisp. At Cincinnati, last night, Joe Adams, aged twenty-three, a colored boot-black, shot and fatally wounded Ed Farrell, a United States soldier. The trouble was about Adams's white mistress. Russell Blacksto.ce, aged seventeen, youngest son of a prominent merchant of Berlin, Wjs., committed suicide by hanging in the cellar of his father’s grocery. Despondency is supposed to have been the cause. The residence of Reuben Baker, of Latrobe, Pa., was completely wrecked by a natural eas explosion yesterday. The pipes had just been tonnected and the gas turned on when the explosion took place. Fortunately none of the family were in the house at the time. The loss was SIO,OOO. Daniel Crowley, aged sixty year?, was arrested at Portsmouth, N. H., last night; charged with assault with intent to kill. It is alleged that he beat his wife, an aged woman, and •ooured kerosene upon her clothing and set it on fire. The woman was terribly burned, and will probably die. Crowley denies setting her on lire, and says she was burned by accident. Capt. Harry May, of the barge Transport, was wakened, Wednesday night, at East Saginaw, by three burglars in his cabin, who bad come after a large sura of money he had with him. One stood over him with a revolver and demanded his money. The Captain jumped up and landed his head in the burglar’s stomach, stunning him. While the Captaiu was giving the alarm the burglars escaped. The sensational cases of Miss Helena Hull agAinst Mrs. Mabley-Spiers and the Rev. M. J. Spiers, at Detroit, wore discontinued yesterday. One case was for $50,000 damages for assault and battery, Miss Hull charging that Mrs. Spiers beat her and caused her permanent disability. Two other suits were against Mrs. Spiers and her husband, respectively, for alleged libel in criticising Miss Hull’s motive in bringing the suit. The matter was compromised,'but on what terms is unknown. The Detroit Evening News publishes a sensational account of trouble in the Free Press office, alleging that the Free Press is financially and editorially embarrassed; that Mr. W. E. Quinby has resigned from the presidency and the position of editor-in-chief; that there are dissensions on the editorial floor; that the property is heavily mortgaged; that debts were unpaid and that financial backing was to be withdrawn. The Free Preea denounces the entire statement as false and malicious, and will to day institute suit against the News, claiming heavy damages.

The Arrest of Haverly. New York, Nov. 11. —In regard to the arrest of “Jack” Haverly, Harry Miner last night said: “About two years ago Haverly received $7,000 from Gale Spader, in connection with the pur•chase of the San Francisco Minstrels Theater, on Broadway. Haverly was accused of having rocketed $5,000 of the money, and he was sued in the courts. He wanted to go to Europe, and I, as an act of friendship, went on his bond and cot my friend Tom Canary to go on also. Since then Howe & Hummel, who are my counsel as well as Hiiverlv'g, have written to him repeatedly to come to NewYord to meet the suits against him. He has paid no attention to the requests, and has kept away, although he was assured that he would not bo arrested, and all he had to do was to show himself. As he would not come, to protect myself I was obliged to notify the lawyers that I wanted to be released from the bond. I suppose that has led to his arrest in Chicago, of which, however, I bad heard nothing until now. I am sorry for Haverly. He has acted very foolishly, and has not repaid my friendly offices as he should have done.” Successful Work of Mormon Missionaries. Pittsburg, Nov. 11. —New England is a thrifty little village a few miles back of Coal Valiev, on the Monougahela river. There two or three Mormon missionaries took up a temporary’ abode, a few months ago, and quietly began to preach their doctrine to the people. Some twenty of the citizens, including their families, hove been converted to the Mormon faith, and are making preparations to depart for Utah. The leader of the Mormon emissaries is known as Rev Barns. Information from that place is to the effect that seventeen of the converts will leave for Utah in a few days, while the remainder will go just as soon as they can dispose of their littie estates, which many of them have secured from the savings of almost a lifetime. Tne missionaries tried to establish a following at several points along the river, but were not successful to any degree until they reached the village of New Eugland. which is largely composed of 'English coal-miners who have but little intercourse with the outside world.

The latter consist mainly of metallic substances, such as pocket-knivee, coins, keys, baggage checks, watches, and chains, etc. Included in the list ia a small castiron child’s money sate, containing two pennies. It is thought the publication of tha melancholy list may lead to the identification of the unknown ptorions who lost their lives in the terrible wreck.

Special to th Indianapolis Journal. Attica, Nov. 11.—Yesterday morning John C. Shaw, Edwin Birch, John (Jnnningham and Jesse Shortridge, all living at Battle-ground, Tippecanoe county, came to this city in quest of burglars, who had been doing petty thieving in the vicinity of Battle-ground for the past two weeks. At the mouth of Kickapoo creek, a mile and a half north of here, they discovered a tent pitched on the river bank, and at once recognized it as one of the stolen articles. In the tent they recognized a number of stolen articles. The four Battle-ground men were after the thieves, as well as the plunder, so they staid at the tent all morning. At 4 o’clock this nomine, concluding that the thieves had left for good, they commenced tearing down the tent Looking up, they saw a man standing on a knoll about thirty feet away. The fellow bad a horse pistol in his hand, and was apparently in the act of shooting. Seeing their lives in danger, three of the men, who had guns loaded with buckshot, fired simultaneously. The stranger staggered, fell, got up again and ran about fifty yards, where he dropped dead. Four buckshot had entered his heart. Coroner Lewis, of Warren county, took charge of the remains and held an inquest in the Williamsport Cemetery this afternoon. The remains were identified as those of Simeon Gerard, a man who, for the past fifteen years, has been a terror to the people of Warren county. He was unmarried, thirty-nine years of age, and has been in numerous stealing scrapes, though heretofore fortunate enough to escape punishment. The remains were buried iu the potter's field, and the coroner’s verdict is, “Death from buckshot wounds at hands unknown.” Camp Fire at North Manchester. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Business Embarrassments. Haverhill, Mass., Nov. 11, Charles H. Coffin, shoe manufacturer, has assigned. Liabilities, $75,000 to SIOO,OOO. Haverhill, Mass., Nov. 11.—C. Haven Coffin, a shoe manufacturer of this city has made an assignment to H. G. Case for the benefit of his creditors. His liabilities are $75,000. Butler, Pa., Nov. 11.—The dry goods establishment of Ritter & Ralston was closed by the sheriff to-day. Liabilities, $20,000. The assets, it is thought, will be sufficient to cover all indebtedness.

Liabilities, $2,500; assets, $2,300. A Bad Outlook for Fotheringliam. St. Louis, Nov. 11.—The exidence in the express robbery case so far ns made public goes to prove that the messenger, Dr-vid S. Fotherineham, was an accessory, or a*, least a willing victim, in the affair. Discrepancies in his statement to the detectives indicate that he knows more of the manner in which the robbery was planned and executed than he would like to have them know, and an expert penman, who was before the grand jury last Saturday, states that the three letters signed “Jim Cummings” were written by one and the same man. and expresses his belief that that man was Fotheringham, and that he wrote them before the commission of the robbery. It now transpires that the messenger's trunk was searched soon after the robbery, and a number of sheets of paper were found covered with copies of the signature of W. J. Barrett, manager of the -express company. It is supposed that the messenger became able to forge this signature so that he might affix it to the orders which the robber presented, which allowed him to enter tho car. Altogether, it looks bad for the messenger. Methodist Church Extension, Philadelphia.

THE STRIKE OF BUTCHERS. A Rumor that the Differences Had Been Adjusted Obtains Circulation, Bat Encounters a Prompt and Emphatic Denial from Messrs. Barry and Carleton —Powderly Still Non-Committal. Chicago, Nor. 11. —The strike at the stockyards is at an end. Late this afternoon, Mr. Barry, who has beeu on the ground ever since the strike was inaugurated, and who, all day, has been in consultation with Mr. Carleton, of Boston, of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor, announced that the order sending the men back to work will be issued. The men will go back on the packers’ terms, viz.: Ten hours per day. What proportion of the strikers will find employment is rather doubtful. At the end of the last strike the packers announced that none of the new men would be discharged to make room for those who left them, and they were anxious to give the new hands permanent employment, bat soon after the strike was over the new men left in droves, the explanation being given that the old men would make it so unpleasant for them that they could not stay in Packington. All the boardinghouses virtually boycotted the newcomers. Whether this experience will be repeated now or not is the question. The packers say not, and farther state that they have made every arrangement to prevent it. All the new boardinghouses that have been started for the new men by the packers will be maintained. It is further announced that the packers will require of every their employ a written guarantee that he will give the firm three or four days’ notice before leaving, and a money deposit will be required from every employe to cover his guaranty. This rule will apply to the men now at work as well as those engaged in the future. Later. —The report telegraphed from here, early this evening, that the striko was at an end, was based upon direct information from the packers. At 10 p. m. information is received from the same source that the report proves to be without foundation. Mr. J. C. Hately, a member of the executive committee, 6ays that the statement that the strike had been declared off by the Knights, was a mistake. He does not undertake to explain how the mistake was made, and can only >ay that shortly before 0 p. # m. the packers were in receipt of information which, though not official, was considered by them to be reliable. Messrs. Barry and Carleton, members of the Knights of Labor general executive committee, denied to reporters, shortly after 6 p. m. , that there had been any change whatever in the status of the strike. A meeting of strikers is in session to-night at the yards, which is being attended by Messrs. Barry and Carleton. Before entering the hall, at BP. M., Barry and Carleton were seen and questioned concerning the reported collapse of the strike. They dented emphatically that there was any truth whatever in the statement. Mr. Carleton, who arrived this morning as a representative of Mr. Powderly to investigate the situation, said that, so far from the strikers having surrendered, they were full of enthusiasm and confident of ultimate victory. So far as he had been able to ascertain to-day, there was little or no probability of the strike ending until the men had won their point, namely: That the packers concede a technical recognition of the jprinciple of eight hou-s' work for eight hours jiay, or $t least alio rr the matter to be arbitrated. The statement that Mr. Powderly had wired Mr. Carleton to order the strike off was a lie on its face. Mr. Carleton had only arrived in Chicago this morning, and it was absurd to suppose that he would be peremptorily commanded to end the strike without being given any time to fulfill the mission which brought him here. The news concerning Mr. Powderly’s alleged telegram had been received in Chicago over a speculator’s private wire, and both Mr. Carleton and Mr. Barry declared without reserve their belief that the report saying the strike was off had been given out solely for stock-jobbing purposes. Mr. Carleton said: “Mr. Barry and myself have been in consultation to day, and have been considering some plans, which I am not at liberty to divulge. A certain line of policy has been agreed upon, and we will work in that direction. None of the packers have been seen, and we have no engagements with any of them for a future meeting. There is a general misunderstanding about Mr. Powderly’s position in this strike. He has made no statement about it to any newspaper men, and knows but little about the subject My mission here is to collect and submit to bim official information about the status of the strike. Mr. Powderly is in favor of the eight-hour day. That principle is one of the cardinal points in our constitution. While Mr. Powderly does not think the time yet ripe for the successful inauguration of that system, he is in hearty sympathy with any justifiable attempt to secure such an object at any local point. The men have only demanded, as near as I can understand, technical recognition of the eight-hour day, and I am at a loss to understand how it can affect the packers in any way. I see no reason why the strikers should be in any way discouraged at the prospect” The strikers say nothing was done at to-night’s meeting that in any way changes the condition of affairs. A Philadelphia dispatch says: “Mr. Powderly, this evening, again declined to be interviewed on the Chicago beef and pork butchers’ strike. He stated that Messrs. Carleton and Barry had full charge of affairs in Chicago on behalf of the general executive board, and in view of their better knowledge of the situation he did not care to discuss any branch of the subject with the meagre information he had at hand. He would neither deny nor admit that he had sent an order to Chicago directing the men to return to work on the ten-hoar basis.

A Combination ot Brewers. New York, Nov. 11. —The Post says: “The brewers of Paterson and Newark have joined hands with those of New York and Long Island, forming a combination to maintain the price of beer and put a check on boycotting and the labor unions. Each-brewer is required to deposit $15,000 in cash as a guarantee of good faith, this sum to be forfeited if the agreement is violated. It is estimated that the guarantee fund will reach very nearly $1,000,000. All existing contracts are to be carried out, but hereafter the practice of furnishing costly saloon fittings and signs will be discontinued. The price of beer is to be j,sß per barrel, with 10 per cent, discount. If a customer changes his brewer, the percentage will only be 5 per cent., and the brewer must pay $2 per barrel to the association for every barrel furnished the new customer. The object of this provision is to prevent ruinous competition. Should any brewer outside of the combination begin to cut prices, the agent of the new association is to be allowed to meet any figure offered by outsiders, the bre ' r er who is thus compelled to cut the combination price to be reimbursed for all losses by the association. The brewers say that there is no politics in the movement” _ Poor Wines Condemned. < New York, Nov. 11.—The Board of Health has condemned 5,280 gallons of wine in this city, which has been made under the following formula by W. J. Booream: Dried fruits, such as currants, raisins and peaches of low grade, macerated with water, mixed with a percentage of sugar and fermented. Fermentation is checked by salicylic acid. It is then clarified, flavored and colored to resemble port, claret or any other kind of Wine desired. Election Pleasantries In Texas. Galveston. Nov. 11.—Information reaches here to-night from Brazoria county, below Galveston, that trouble is apprehended there over the election of Henry Masterson ascountv judge. Maeterson, the conirty judge, is now serving bis second tern. Tax-payers bold a meeting prior to the election and brought charges against Masterson alleging malfeasance

in office. It is claimed that Masterson agreed not to be a candidate for re-eleetion, but violated his promise at the last moment, and sent runners among the colored voters. He carried the county by a small majority. The tax payers now threaten to kill Masterson if he attempts to assume the office. Masterson has fled to Houston, but it is reported that be intends to return and take the office. PATRONS OP HUSBANDRY. Second Day’s Session of the National Convene tioa —Five Hundred Delegates Present. Philadelphia, Nov. 11.—The National Grange of Patrons of Husbandry opened the morning work of the second day’s session with the continuation of the call of the roll of masters of State granges, who reported on the condition of State bodies under their supervision. The majority of the reports showed the State body to be in a flourishing condition, only a few giving evidence of a falling off in interest and work. The best report was preeented by the master granger of Maine, where exists the best organization and the largest increase in membership, as well as the best methods of carrying on the work of the order. A resolution was submitted by a delegate from Illinois favoring the election of United States senators by the people. Another resolution, offered to-day, declares it to be the duty of Cougress to take charge of telegraph lines and railroads, and operate them under government supervision. Upwards of five hundred delegates were present, nearly half of them women. This afternoon, Musical Fund Hall was crowded by members of State and local granges to participate in the exercises incident to the welcome extended on the part of the State and city to the delegates. Fruits and flowers constituted the decorations. Worthy Grand Master Darden opened the proceedings by introducing Hon. Leonard R. Hone, worthy State master of the Pennsylvania State Grange, who welcomed the “Patrons” to the city of Philadelphia. Hon. B. C. Harrison, of Alabama, worthy master of that State, responded of the National Grange. Gov. Pattison was next introduced and was cordially greeted, the vast audience indulg ing in loud clapping of hands. The Governor congratulated the members of the grange upon the progress of political government, and said that the Patrons of Husbandry are in advance of the progress made in political affairs. He referred to the fact that the members had assembled from all parts of the country, representing 4,000,000 farms, with 280,000,000 acres of improved land, its value being placed at $10,000,000,000. There are, he said, 7,000,000 of people engaged in husbandry. In Pennsylvania, he said, there are 213,000 farms, this State being fifth in the number of farms. In Pennsylvania 300,000 men are engaged in agriculture. The land is valued at $900,000,000. and has nearly 5,000,000 inhabitants. The greater the number of farms in any State, said the Governor, the greater must be the prosperity of that State. Hon. ,J. H. Brigham, of Ohio, responded to Governor Pattison’s address. He referred to the prosperity of the order, and spoke of the dangers to be encountered. Addresses were also made by Col. Alex K. McClure, of the Times, and Hon. W. A. Armstrong, worthy master of the New York State Grange and editor of the Elmira Husbandman. Farmers’ National Alliance. Chicago, Nov. 11.—The annual convention of the Farmers’ National Alliance began here today. About two hundred delegates, representing local assemblies in fifteen States, were present. A. J. Streeter, president of the alliance, made a lengthy address, in which he set forth the evils from which the farmers, as a class, are suffering, and urged the necessity of organization against encroaching monopolies. He declared that the evils were due, in a large measure, to railroad monopoly, and advocated governmental control of all railroads. The secretary’s report showed that the alliance, which was organized in 1880, had now a total membership of 500,000, and was in a good financial condition. N. A. Gray, of Rantoul, 111., read a paper on the “Grain Buyers’ Union,” in which he charged that the grain buyers, by forming organizations in all the small towns, fixed their own prices and controlled the grain market, much to the detriment of the farmer. He recommended that producers organize to defeat the combination. A committee consisting of James Smith, of Minnesota; Eber Weter, of Wisconsin; L. D. Whiteing and Milton George, of Illinois, was appointed to draft a series of resolutions to be presented at to-morrow's session of the convention.

ANTI-ORGAN PRESBYTERIANS. The General Association Will Be Given One More Chance to Right Their Grievance. Pittsburg, Not. 11.— When the anti-organ convention of United Presbyterians met, this morning, the resolutions and plan of organization presented by the committee on resolutions wero taken up and discnssed at great length. The convention then went into committee of the whole and adopted the report. A resolution favoring the renewal of the covenant of the church was also adopted. The drift of the discussion was to urge the people of the church to stand by the old doctrine, despite the sneers of those favoring the innovations. The first business at the afternoon session was the presentation of the following resolution by Hon. James Dawson, of Keokuk, la.: Resolved, That in the event of accomplishing nothing by the joint conference contemplated in the third resolution adopted yesterday, and no relief be given by the next General Assembly on the question now disturbing the peace and harmony of the church, we regret that we will be placed under the painful neces sity of immediately taking such steps as will enable us to maintain the principles of the United Presbyterian Church as agreed to in the organization. The resolution created an animated discussion, in which moderation was counseled by some, while others urged its adoption as their only means of relief. Finally an amendment was offered and accepted to take the place of all of the original resolutions; after the words “harmony of the church" the amendment reads: • It is the judgment of the convention that the general association, at its first meeting, shall take proper action to meet the case and carry out the purposes of the convention to maintain the principles of the United Presbyterian Church. The officers of the convention were then elected as the officers of the United Presbyterian Association of North America, as the association formed is to be known, to serve for one year. It was decided that the next meeting shall he held in Xenia, 0., on the first Tuesday after the second Monday of November, 1887, and the convention adjourned sine die. The sessions of the convention were marked by an entire absence of any ill-natured remarks or unkindly expressions regarding those who were not in sympathy with the anti-organ element of the United Presbyterian Church. The deliberations of the convention were mostly of that unanimous kind that can only come from a convention where all the members are of the same mind. Matrimonial. New York.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Muncie, Nov. 11.—Several weeks aeo the Muncie Exploring Company was organized for the purpose of developing a natural gas or oil well in or near this city. The organization was perfected by the election of E. P, Smith, T. H. Kirby, A. L. Kerwood, S. P. Brnndage and W. L. Lacey, as directors. The company was duly incorporated under the laws of the State, with a capital of $2,500. A site was selected on the banks of White river, jnst east of the city, a contract made for sinking the well, and three weeks ago work was begun. At 5 o’clock this morning the drill entered a strata of Trenton stone, and, npon being lifted, a volume of gas began escaping. The well was sunk a few feet deeper, to a total depth of 888 feet, when the volume of gas became sufficiently great to be of practical worth, and it was decided to drill no further lest salt water might be reached. The statement that gas had been struck spread like wildfire, and a constant procession of people has been going and coming to and from the well all day, all greatly excited. The gas came forth with great power, making a noise that could have been heard a distance of several squares. An informal meeting of the directors was held, and it was decided to put up a vertical pipe. Accordingly a force of mea were set to work and at noon the pipe was in position, and • a workman ascended the derrick to tne top of the pipe, eighty feet, and applied a torch to the escaping gas. Two flames, twelve to fifteen feet in length, burst forth, and the great crowd assembled gave expression to their delight in hearty cheers. The volume of gas has steadily increased during the day. It is estimated that the well is a much stronger one than the one at Eaton, Portland or Kokomo. Its pressure is slid to be about five hundred pounds to the square inch. To-night the country for a great distance around is lighted by the two flames, and hundreds of excited people from the city and country are congregated about it, admiring the newly-developed wonder—all pre* dieting a great boom for Muncie. It has been decided so shoot the well in a day or two —ae soon as the necessary quantity of nitro-glycerine can be bad. It is confidently expected that this will increase the volume of gas to twice the amount now being produced by the well. Preliminary arrangements are now making for sinking other wells in and about the city. Mr. James Boyce will probably sink a well near his block, two squares east of the courthouse, while the Muncie Water-works Company talk of sinking one oa their property a few hundred yards south of the present well. The exploring company will more fully develop this well, and, at as early a date as possible, confine the gas, that it may be made of benefit to the city. The find is regarded as A boom for Muncie, and will no doubt lessen the cost of light and fuel to the average consumer. The Beer Was Poisoned.
