Nov. 30.—0 u Suudav last at Martinsville there was born to the wife of Edward Bishop a girl baby weighing two pounds. The child is perfectly formed, is hateaud hearty, and bids fair to weigh two hundred. Minor Note*. Burglars raided several residences at Lafayette and secured about one thousand dollars’ worth"of plunder. Lou Dunihue, a son of hiehjv-resnected parents, at Bedford, was killed at Willows on Sunday while attempting to board a train. He was telegraph operator at the above station.

The event is the source ot considerable sensation. The couple will live ou the farm of the bride’s lather. Isaac Deckard was arrested and placed in jail at Bedford on Saturday for retailing intoxicating liquors without a license. Four of his relatives came to the town on Monday, presumably to bail him out, but while two of them went from jail to town the other two, it is supposed, assisted Isaac to make his escape. There is considerable excitement in the vicinity of Liberty Mills. Wabash county, over the mysterious disappearance of the twelve-year old bov of James Townsend, of that place. Public conjecture is to the effect that the child is either drowned in Eel river or has left home from his owo inclination. The river will be dragged.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal Cleveland, 0., Nov. 30—Last spring a good-looking young girl applied at the Bethel for a position as a domestic.

During the conversation counsel rougbt out what ihey considered the strongest and most salient points in the defense, and the weakogt nfttWkiMi the Common wealth’s testimony.

Cluverius is preparing a statement or appeal to the Governor, which will be finished in a day or two. His counsel 6ay it will be his own production, without suggestion from them or revision. He will send it to the Governor by his brother, William B. Cluverius. LETTERS FROM TIIE PEOPLE. Rev. Oscar C. McCulloch'* Views. To the Editor of the liidlariaDolis Journal*. About Oscar C. McCulloch's views, as a private citizen, no one cares much, but the views of Rev. Oscar C. McCulloch, the leader of public thought from the pulpit of a central ehurch, patronized by many leading and wealthy families, on matters purely social and economic, do concern the public. Mr. McCulloch may preach new theology or old theology, or no theology at all. and no one outside of his congregation will utter a word of protest If his hearers can stand it others have no right to complain. Or, when Oscar C. McCulloch, president, and the controlling spirit of the Charity Organization of Indianapolis, utters, in the papers or in his pulpit, views which are calculated and probably intended to foster a spirit of unrest and widen the gulf between the poor and the rich, every benevolent man who contributes to that organization has a right to protest. The Journal says, read his card before further criticism. I have read it and reread it, onlv to conclude that it is worse by half than the pulpit utterance, even in its must offensive form. This might be pardoned as a bit of impertinent intermeddling with the affairs of a court in anotnor State, under a hit of that insane egoism which imagines that the atmosphere can be so impregnated with a public sentiment that the court will grant anew trial whether cold law would require it or not. Conrts are not nnimpressible by public opinion. But that—that card! It is not merely censurable, but it is alarming. Mr. McCulloch is not a Communist—he is notan Anarchist. He says he is not; but he assiduously cultivates the soil in which they grow. But for such sympathy and encouragement as such as he furnish, the hireling vagabonds who li • e by agitating the ignorant could not live a month on the free soil of America. Mark how familiarly he recounts their alleged grievances, and then indorses them all by saving: “They see a system which, like the car Juggernaut, rollsoverthe bodies of men and women.” And who rolls it, pray? Why the rich, the factories, machinery the system, the civilization. All anarchism and all communism erow in this garden, and in this garden only. Ar.d yet Mr. McCulloch, to whom more than to any other man in this city, those who are not starving have intrusted their contributions to those who are. takes these gifts and save to the receiver “This is from those who have robbed you ” What have the suffering pool to do with the gamblers’ hall called the Board of Trade? Its <• ealtb has been gathered from the guild of gamblers. The deals iu wheat and pork have never affected the price in bread one dime on the barrel, or it at all. only for a very limited period. Whose fault is it that tens of thousands gather into cities where oniy a thousand are needed to do the work of the city? Very few American-born people do this. May Mr. McCulloch be permitted to say that, because there are hundreds of men out of work, somebody is to blame because this somebody does not provide work for them? Who is to provide work for these somebodies? Out of work, forsooth! And yet the military at Chicago were on duty for weeks, last month, to m.ike it possible for thousands of men who were seeking work to get into the yards where the work was to be done. And it was the men who, like Mr. McCulloch, nre clamoring for a new trial of the condemned Anarchists, that stood, tdudgeon in hand, to keep the hungrv men from working. Out of bread, forsooth. Yet. last summer, when these starving thousands paraded the streets of Ohicaeo. bearing banners inscribed “Bread or Blood,” one beautiful Sunday, more than 1,300 kegs of beer were sold on the picnic grounds. Tnev hnd beer, it seems, but no oread; but they intended to have bread or bl od. The Plymouth congregation may relish this kind of spiritual food, but lei me protest against the Congregational churches of this country being responsible for it or anything like it. It may be b**st for the benevolence of the city to flow to the needy through such hands, but the eivers of those benevolences are not the oppressors of the poor that this doctrine implies. U. L. See.

A Veteran Observer. so the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: That was a uotable assemblage of distinguished men last week in New York around the dead hodv of ex President Arthur—Blaine, Logan, Edmunds. Conkling, Sherman, Gresham. Cleve land and Hill—most of whom are known to be candidates for a presidential nomination on the ticket of one great party or the other. Little Phil Sheridan, the general of the army, was also there, and though not a candidate, might be made such, and distance all of them in the race, as he did the repels on a memorable occasion at “Winchester town.” There can be no doubt that some of these men went there to show their respect for the dean statesman, but it is not certain that motive governed others who surely had no respect for him while living. The incident between Blaine and Edmunds is not likely to be soon forgotten, and is one which the friends of the former, I am sure, will deplore. The attitude of Edmunds toward Blaine in the canvass of 1884 was precisely that of thousands of Republicans, who voted for him because he was the party candidate, but did not approve some of his business transactions. This seems to have so offended the man from Maine that when Edmunds tendered his band Blaine declined to receive it, and turned his back to the Vermont Senator. The occasion was one of the greatest solemnity. The body ot the dead ex-President was in their midst, and the last sad rites had called them there. It would seem that, under such circumstances, rivalries, strifes and animosities should have ceased, for that day at least; but Mr. Blaine seems to have been of a different opinion. Are we to understand that the distinguished gentle man proposes to turn his back on all those who Question the propriety of his business methods! If the Republican party is to be successful in 1888, it mut not nominate any of those statesmen who still cherish their quarrels and animosities, and refuse to be reconciled. They must forget and forgive, or be sent to the rear. The quarrel between Blaine and Conkliue cost the former his election in 1884. for the lattercontrolled enough votes in a single county of his State (Oneida) to have overcome Cleveland’s majority. It is fortunate that many of the ablest statesmen of the party are not mixed tip with quarrels and factions, notably, Sherman, Harrison and Gresham, and the candidate should be chosen from the West. Nor would it be out of place to suggest to Mr. Blaine, who has sketched the life of most of the public men of his day in his book, that he should not omit his own biography. It might be in this form: “I whs a candidate for the Republican nomination in 187 G. also in 1880. but was unsuccessful. I was nominated in 1884, but defeated by Grover Cleveland, because many Republicans declined to vote for me on account of some of mv business transactions, and others gave me but a lukewarm support, among whom was Senator Edmunds, which so exasperated me that I declined to accept his proffered hand at the funeral of ex-Presiiient Arthur." M. L. Bundy. Nov. 20. 1886. New York Anti-Saloon Republican*. Cortlandt. N. Y.. Nov. 30 —The State conventbm of anti-saloon Republicans met here this afternoon. Delegates were present from all parts of the State. General Con wav explained the views and aims of the new movement. While the Binghamton convention, he said, had startled the Republican party with its radical resolutions, they now met with approval from such men as Evarts, Miller, Morton and Htscock. He said they were in the Republican party to stay. There were already 20.000 Republicans enrolled in the league, which in six months would increase to 100.000. and that means control of the Republican party of the State of New York. and. also, that all statesmen And politicians must favor temperance legislation and temperance measures. Committees on permanent organization, resolutiooa, plau of work, etc., were appointed. All true lovers of the delicacies and refinements of the table, in order to keep thetr digestive organs tu good order, should use Angostura Bittkua.

AID FOE KNIGHTS OF LABOB. A Secret Circular Announcing a Grave Crisis in the Affairs of the Order. A Call for Assistance Which Was bat Feebly Responded to Now Supplemented by a More Urgent and Imperative Demand. Philadelphia, Nov. 30. —The Press to-mor-row will publish the following important secret circular, issued by the general officers of the Knight* of Labor, with photo-lithoeraphic reproductions of the signatures aud seal of the ord**r: “Noble Order of the Knights of Labor of America. “[Official Circular No. 29.] “Office of the General Assembly, > Philadelphia, Pa.. Nov. 19, 1886. > "To Ail the Subordinate Assemblies of the OrderGreeting: "Previous to the session of the General Assembly at Richmond, an appeal was issued to the order for funds to assist victimized and locked out members in various parts of the country. The response to that appeal was not such as it should have been, and only about $14,000 was received thereon. This, it is manifest to every member, was entirely insufficient to render the assistance needed and desired, Marty thousand members wore thrown upon our hands by the lockouts of the employers, who acted in concert, with the avowed purpose of driving their employes out of the order, thereby crippling, if not destroying, its power and usefulness. “The order of the Knights of Labor has reached the most critical period in its history. It stands as a power for good or for evil. But your general officers, while they make no special claim to superiority in purity of motive, have sworn that the order shall be made a power for right, and rieht only; that the laws shall be rigidly enforced and that the members shall receive the fullest protection of their rights under the laws of our country and our order. Without any provocation, except the exercise of the inherent right of everv free man to belong to any organization he pleases, not in conflct with the laws of the couutrv, thousands of our members, men and women, without warning, have been thrown out of employment. They have gone to the door of the mill and factory, and to the mouth of the mine, where but yesterday they were employed, only to find staring them in the face this un-Christian and un-American mandate: ‘You cannot return to work hero until you sign a contract to leave the Knights of Labor, and that you will never become a member of that or any other labor organization.’ "Every roan who has joined .tie Kniehts of Labor has pledged himself to do his duty in the cause of mankind. No oath binds him to any act contrary to the duty he owes to God or his country. But something more sacred even than an oath—his pledge of honor—binds him to loyally defend the principles of truth, honor, justice ar.d citizenship. Two alternatives present themselves, unconditional surrender or manlv defense. Which shall it be? The lockedout members in their enforced idleness, turn from suffering wives aud starving children in pathetic appeal to your general executive board, to aid them in maintaining their manhood and their fidelity to the order. The General Assembly instructed your general executive board to give them all the assistance in its power. We can render that assistance only in one way, and that through the co operation of the earnest and loyal members of our order. Words of sympathy, however kind and grateful, will not supply the needs of these locked-out members. We mu6t have that which is more substantial. We cannot supply it ourselves, and therefore frankly come to you. “Having all these circumstances in mind, and deeply moved by sympathy with those suffering members and those dependent upon them, your general executive board has unanimously resolved to levy an assessment of 25 cents per member upon all local assemblies of the order, the same to be paid under the following regula tions: All local assemblies that responded to the appeal mentioned above will be credited on this assessment with the amount donated. All local assemblies who can are requested to remit the full amonnt of the assessment not later than Dec. 20, 1886. The assessment in this case will be twenty-live cents for each member, as shown by the report to the general secretary-treasurer for the quarter ending Oct 1, 1886. Locals preferring to pay the amount in installments may pay ten cents for each member, as shown by the reports to Oct. 1, 1886, to be paid not later than Dec. 20, 1886, ten cents not later than Jan. 20, 1887, and five cents not later than Feb. 20, 1887, for each member, as shown by the reports for the quarter ending January, 1837. This aesessmeut will be known as special defense assessment, and must be paid to the general secretary, Charles H. Litchman, Lock box 885, Philadelphia, Pa., not later than the dates named. "When the appeal was issued in aid of the Southwestern strike it received a most prompt and generous response. The need for that appeal and the crises to be met, great though they were, did not equal the grave emergency which compels tms assessment. With the termination of that struggle began the combination of capitalists everywhere throughout the country. The object of that combination is now made apparent. The lines are sharply drawn, the contest is upon us, and must be waged to a successful issue. You know for what purpose we require the money. All we ask is that before paying it each member put himself in place of one locked out, remembering that ‘he gives twice who gives quickly,’ and act upon the golden rule, ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’ "Special notice—The above assessment must be sent to the general secretary, Charles H. Litcbman, Lock-box 885, Philadelphia. “T. V. Powderly, “General Master Workman. “By order or the general executive board. “Attest: Charles H. Litchman, “General Secretary.”

Ready for a Strike. Pittsburg, Nov. 30.—Now that the differences between the Knights of Labor and Miners’ Amalgamated Association, in the coke region, have been settled, the men are preparing to stand together if a strike is ordered. Master Workman Byrne, of the K. of L., and Secretary Mnllen, of the Miners’ Amalgamated Association, have issued a joint call for a delegate meeting of both organizations, to be held at Scottdale next Saturday morning. Master Workman Bvrnes. in talking of the meeting to-day, said: "All the trouble between the association and the Knights of Labor has been adjusted, and in the future we will work together. The meeting on Saturday is for the purnose of forming a joint board to combine the action of the two organizations. This board, when organized, will move for another conference with the operators on the demands already made. Ido not wish to express my opinion as to what will be done, and can only say that the workers in the coke region will move together in any demands that may be agreed npon, after due consideration shall have been given to the question, and all efforts shall have been made to amicably arrange the matter." Labor Notes. Coalton, O , Nov. 30.—A1l the coal miners in the valley, 2.000 in number, struck this afternoon. The employers refused to pay an additional five cents per ton for mining. Scranton, Pa., Nov. 30—To-night an order went into effect on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad suspending all firemen in the employ of that compauy who are under twenty one years of age. The object is to give employment to married men in the service of the company who have suffered from short time. Civilizing the Heathen. Big Springs, Tex,, Nov. 30.—A most daring robbery was committed at Murita, the first siding on the line of the Texas & Pacific railway, ten miles west of here, at mtdnignt last nicht. The only inhabitants of the place are a gang of fifty Chinese section laborers and a white foreman. At about midnight the Chinamen were waited upon by five masked men. who demanded their monev Upon refusing to give up their hard-earned cash, they were, one at a time, hung up by their queues until they gave up their

money. The robbery, thinking they had not got all the cash in the camp, returned and tortured one of the Chinamen by holding him on a hot ■tore until hit comrades gave np the balance of their money, some SSOO in all. One Celestial had his queue cut off and was otherwise horribly tortured. No arrest* have been made. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications. Washington, Dec. I,la. m.
