TILE INDIAKAPOLTS JOTJnNAI, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. 188T.

A.nd all over Washington, during the- fashionable season, plundered hostesses sat weeping fcmidst the fragments of their commissariat. It is true that the local rustlers were at that time reinforced by the visiting freebooters, and ? course one cannot fairly expect such impressive demonstrations now that the capital is Comparatively deserted. Yet the humblest Wasbingtonian must bare felt himself breaking at with pride as he contemplated the perform knees of the purely local rabble last Tuesday light at the President's reception. The distinguished physicians attending; the medical tongress there, especially those from abroad, in whose honor the reception was held, may not have enjoyed the spectacle so keenly. They beheld it from afar. They bung upon the iron palings outside the executive mansion while the resident animal shouldered bis way through and taobbed the East Room. But every native eye xinst have glistened and every native bosom expanded at this apotheosis of home talent. We may now look forward with the very 4 ri eh test anticipations to the opoume of the aext society sesson. Within two or three months Mr beautiful National Capital will begin to fill np, and In the confluence of domestic and Imported vandalism that will ensue we shall have a result never before equaled on this or any tber contiuent. It requires no prophetio gift to forsee the time when the hospitable dweller in Washington shall be compelled to entertain by stealth, when society will celebrate its functions in the bashful seclusion of the cellar, when invitation cards will have footDotes describing grips and passwords, and when the entrances to balls and dinners will bristle with bayonets. In that time the rustlers may have to squat on lean haunches, like coyotes upon the outskirts of a corral, and compress their feelings into a howl, but it will always be be their sacred privilege to remember that in the good old days, when enterprise and industry bad & chance, they never let an opportunity get away. WARNING TO OFFICEHOLDERS.

The President Said to Uave Forbidden Them to Take Part la the Elections. WaHhinrton Special to New York Snn. The President has been greatly annoyed by the comments of partisan newspapers on the 'pernicious activity" of certain federal officials in the Maryland and Pennsylvania conventions recently held. After carefully considering the subject, and findiog that he bad nothing to go upon exeept the statements of certain newspapers, and the fact that certain officials attended these conventions, he addressed a communication to the Secretary of the Treasury to this effect: Fay to Messrs. that they must take no part in coming elections. This is emphatic. Such an admonition, coming directly from the President, will probably be obeyed, even though it disfranchises temporarily several American iitizena. Some of the most ardent supporters of the President and pronounced civil-service reformers in the departments, in commenting upon the President's proclamation on this subject, say that he has probably gone too far, as he has no right to deprive men of their political liberty, even though they are federal officials. A well-known New York politician, when informed of the President's declaration to the offending Marylandere and Pennsylvanians, laid, in most emphatic and unmistakable language, that the Demo ratio party wonld need the services or all the Higeiuses and Cracrofts it can find to carry New York at the next national election. He said there was no doubt that President Cleveland could secure a reoomination, but nnlesa the party-workers are permitted to assist in the campaign the Republicans will probably carry New York by an verwhelming majority. - MINOR MATTERS. Chicago's National Drill Timed to Occur When the Anarchists Hang. Washington Special. An astonishing rumor comes here from Chicago sources that the National drill, arranged to take plaee in that city next month, has a deeper purpose than a mere competition at arms. The story is that the origin of the drill lay in a knowledge on the part of its first promoters that the Anarchists would te haneed at a certain date, and the time of the drill was arranged to cover that date. It is wellknown that citizens of Chicago have feared from the time of the announcement of the sentence to death of the Arnarchists that the execution of the death penalty would be a signal for a revengeful outbreak. For this reason all breathed free when a respite came with the reference to a higher court As the rumor has it, the eontinued threats of revenge led the Supreme Court to reveal the character of its decision to certain authorities of Chicago several months ago. and the idea of a "national drill" was thereupon conceived, with. the understanding that the Anarchists were to be hanged during the progress of the drill. It is said that color is lent to this theory by the fact that regular troops have been ordered to take part in the affair an innovation which was not permitted at the time of the drill at the national capital. Parallel to the Thube-Carlisle Case. Washington Spocial. The only contested election case in the history of Congress furnishing a probable parallel to the con teat of Thobe against Mr. Car lisle, ' occurred in the Twenty-eighth Congress. John Minor Botts, Whig, contested the election of John H. Jones, of Virginia. Mr. Jones was elected Speaker and appointed all the committees, except that on election. Instead of appointing that committee, Speaker Jones sailed one cf the Democratic members to preside, and taking the floor, stated that as the committee on election would have to determine his own case be was not willing to appoint that committee. He asked the House to take the matter in its hands. A motion that the member whom Mr. Jones bad called to the chair should be authorized to appoint the election committee was carried. The committee was appointed by the acting Speaker, ami that committee heard and determined the contest. It is presumed that the case of Botts against Jones may furnisb a precedent for Mr. Carlisle if he is again elected Speaker. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. At Cincinnati, last night, Albert Wesley shot and mortally wounded Ida Harris. Both are colored. Ida Harris is dying. A reckless cow-boy named W. C. Baldwin attempted to take the town of Fort Smith, last night, and was fatally shot by Deputy Sheriff Rutherford while resisting arrest and attempting to shoot a policeman. On Saturday, an express train on the Baltimore 6c Ohio railway became unmanageable and dashed down a steep grade at terrific speed, leaving the track at a bridge. The psssengers were badly shaken up, but none seriously hurt. O. W. Cooper, a brakeman, was crushed to death. A train with one passenger car attaohed, and a freight train, collided on the Cumberland railway, near Sprine Hill Junction, N. S., Saturday night. The engines were completely demolished. The engineers and firemen were all more or less hurt, fireman Richmond receiving internal injuries from which he died. The Munchratli Trial. Sioux City, IaL, Sept. 10. Nine witnesses were examined in behalf of the State in the Munobratb case to-day. The two most important witnesses were United States District Attorney T. P. Murphy and IL L. Leavitt The lattor testified that Muncbrath was one of the most active members among the saloon-keepers who planned the assault and beat Dr. Haddock because of his conduct in the liquor prosecutions, lie testified, further, that Munchrath was watching for the reTurn of Dr. Haddock to the livery stable, and that be himself and Munchrath stood within arm's length of each other while John Arensdorf walked out from the trowd lying in wait for Dr. Haddock, and shot him. Hon. T. P. Murphy testified that he was riding ome in a hick, a few minutes before the murJer. and, when within half a block from where the murder occurred, the hack was hailed by Munchrath, who said to Murphy: "This is not the hack I am looking for." Several other witnesses testified that Munchrath was with the crowd who are allesed to have been present at the murder, and that just five minutes before the murder he was at Junk's saloon, from which the crowd left immediately on notice that Dr. Haddock's buggy had returned o the livery stable. National Prison Congrees. Toronto, Sept 11. The members of the National Prison Congress attended service this morning at St. James Cathedral, when the Blsnop of Huron preached an eloquent sermon from Isaiah, lxi, 1, "The opening of prison to them that are bound." He denouuced the evil tendencies of sensational plays at theatres, popular drinking habits and bod literature as being the ehief impediments to reformation of criminals. In the afternoon a meeting was held in the pavilion, in the Horticultural Oardens, under the auspices of the Universal Peace Union, when addresses were delivered by Chairman J. H. Blake, (Queen's counsel, and Mr. Love, president of the Peace Association of America,

SPECIAL SUNDAY SERVICES

Reopening of Meridian-Street Church with a Sermon by Dr. Gilbert. Rev. Duncan's Farewell to Hall Place CongregationDedication of the New Tabernacle Chapel on East Washington Street Meridian-street M. E. Church, having been closed for several weeks for repairs, was formally reopened yesterday with appropriate services. The auditorium, beautified by frescoer, and painter and artist, was still further adorned with numerous floral designs arranged with much taste by the ladies. One piece within the altar was presented as a tribute to Dr. Alabas- ' ter, tbe former pastor, recently deceased. At the morning hour a packed audience assembled, the deiight of all being expressed upon their countenances as tbey beheld the transformation wrought during their absence. Dr. Gilbert's sermon was from the text, '-The glory of the Lord filled the house of God," II Chronicles, v, 14. He discussed four leading propositions: First, the house of God is a product of religion; second, it is a monument of faith; third, it is the rallying point of God's people, and fourth, it pavilions the special manifestations of God. In the course of his discourse Dr. Gilbert said: "Now and then our enemies proclaim that Christianity is declining, losing its hold upon the people, and that shortly it must pass away, give place to some new faith. Some among us are alarmed by these evil prophecies. How shall we assure our hearts, and how shall we make the world believe that the Redeemer's kingdom is not waning; that, on the contrary, it is prosperous, and shall some day possess the earth? We might rest in the word of God who has declared that every knee shall bow to him. But most of us desire some visible proof of his progress to a world-wide dominion. Where shall we find it? In the buildings erected for service. More than a hundred of them in this cityl Nearly six thousand in this State! One hundred and ten thousand in this nation! Remember it, faint-hearted brother, in this Republic there is a bouse of God for every six hundred of the population. Nor is this alL JEvery time the sun performs his circuit in thA heavens a thousand new sanctuaries arisa. Within the past year six hundred temples of Buddha in Japan have been converted to secnlar purposes, while Christianity cannot get money fast enough to build houses for "increasing worshipers. The religion of our Lord failing! Every spire that pierces the sky, and every bell that breaks the Sabbath stillness testifies that the kingdom of God is firmly established in the hearts of men." The sermon ended with these words: "This day we re-consecrate this edifice to the service of Almighty God. Surely, we cannot doubt that he will accept this, our labor of love. As in the ancient temple at Jerusalem so here we may expect his presence. And as we re-open this house let us open wide our hearts and offer them to him. Know ye not, brethren, that ye are the temples of tbe . living God. This which we have done only typefies what He would do in each of us. As we have cleansed these walls and ceilings, so would He purify our hearts by the washing of water by tbe word. As we have made forms of beauty by the blendings of color and shade, so would He adorn our souls with the graces of the spirit. And, oh, may tbe glory ot the Lord ever fill this bouse of God this house made with bands, and these houses the hearts of His people." After tbe sermon, fifteen persons were admitted into church fellowship by letter, and then came a most cordial handshaking, the greetings of friends after weeks of separation and the introduction of strangers. Many lingered to converse and congratulate each other. The evening hour was devoted to a praise service and platform meeting. The addresses were by laymen of tbe congregation, the theme being. "The Past, Present and Future of Our Church." Rev. T. A. Goodwin, the first speaker, who had been connected with the society for thirty years and acquainted with its history for half a century, presented an amusing picture of early Methodism, and outlined tbe changes that had taken place to the present time. T. P. Haugbey briefly expressed his gratification at the improved condition of the building. James C. Yohn referred to the hardships of the early settlers, their sacrifices for the cause of Christ, and outlined tbe history of the congregation, furnishing much valuable statistical information. Mr. Wm. Bosson and Mr. A. J. Beveridge spoke on the future of the church in a hopeful way, indicating the favorable signs in the church life. The last speaker was Daniel Stewart, who in sweet and gentle tones referred to the harmony which had existed in the congregation for tbe last twenty years. Divided politically and socially, and engaged at various times in great undertakings, involving diversity of opinion, they had nevertheless been bound together, co-operating n the spirit of brotherly love. The house at night is, if possible more beautiful than by day. The elegant work upon the. ceiling is shown at its best by gas-light. The room is now in fact one of the best lighted in the city. Rev. Duncan's Farewell Sermon. One of tbe largest audiences ever assembled in Hall-Place Church was that of last night to hear the farewell sermon of the pastor, Rer. J W. Duncan. The discourse was specially ap" propriate to the occasion. Mr. Duncan took as his text the words: "Remember the word that I said unto you.," John xv, 20. Then Mr. Duncan said: These are the words of Christ in reference to a specified matter, but are not inappropriate when applied to all of his teaching. "In closing my ministry with this church," ha continued, "the three years allowed by the polity of the church having elapsed, I have no special desire to be remembered personally, but I do desire most earnestly that my teaching, so far as it has been in keeping with the word of God and the gospel of His Son, may live when I' shall have gone from among you, and when I shall have .been laid in my grave. More than eighteen centuries have passed since the matchless Christ waited upon our earth and looked into the faces of His followers, but His words of light and love are more potent to-day than at any time in the past. I know no reason why tbe word's of the faithful minister of God should not lire when he has passed away. Some people seem more anxious that they shall be remembered than that their works shall be kept in remembrance. In order to perpetuate their name and fame they build monuments and mausoleums, and establish libraries and colleges; but if they do not this for the good of men and the glory of God it avails but little; but the man who leaves behind him a record of noble deeds, and Christian character shall live on earth and in heaven after the dissolution of the body. I ask you not, therefore, to remember the pastor who has gone in and out among you for three years of this short life one who has visited your sick, comforted your sorrowing, baptized your children and buried your dead, but I do ask that you remember the words that I said unto you, while I was present with you. "This brings me to a brief review of my mi nistry in your midst. I came among you as a strancer having known but two or three persons in the church prior to my coming. I was received, not as a stranger, but as a friend and brother. This was all the more appreciated, beeause it was at a time when the greatest sorrow of my life was weighing heavily udoo me. The cordial treatment I received made it easier for me to live and labor among you. However wide the lines which separate us in the future, the little church on Seventh street must ever live in my memory. "The first work of a Christian minister, as I believe, is to make men and Christians. If this is not first in the work of . ministers and members, there is little to hope for either in this world or the world to come. If we fill the churches with unconverted people and swell our lists into tbe hundreds and thousands, we only clog tbe wheels of our effectiveness and put in peril tbe souls of tbe persons thus received into our communion. It behooves any faithful minister of God, therefore, to reaffirm and reassert the faithful teaching of Christ, that no man can enter the kingdom of God without a regenerate heart. The next step of tbe Methodist pastor, as I believe, is to make good Methodists. Men thoroughly converted to righteousness make good church members first, loyalty to God, and then loyalty to the church, whose communion they enter. If we are to be Methodists, let us be true to her doctrines and -polity; if Presbyterian, then let us be true to that church. When you Leajr a man say I nave no choice of churches, and think one is just as good for me as the other I am a Baptist, but I could be a Methodist just as well that man betravs his disloyalty. The same is true of the ministry, and if I represent not her distinctive doctrines and economy, I am untrue to the church to which I am pledged. I expect when I go to a Unitarian church to hear a Unitarian Ereacher, and when I go to a Baptist church to ear a Baptist preacher, and if they are not trne representatives of their churches, they are trait

ors sailing under false colors. I plead, therefore, for loyalty to Christ, and the church we represent "I find no fault with, 'and raise no voice against the time limit of the Methodist Church not that I am glad to leave you or that I find any speoal pleasure in moving, but because I believe it to be for the best good of all concerned and especially for the best good of the eburch. A settled ministry has some advantages and some disadvantages. The same is true of an itinerant ministry. There are those in the settled ministry of this' city who could not get a majority vote of their churches for their retention. Under 6nch circumstances an itinerant ' minister . could be moved, but it is no so easy in a settled ministry to bring about a change without injury to the church or pastor. I have observed with no little interest that the men who have left our church because its economy hampered and hindered them, have not done much better, and a large majority of them much worse than they did in the church from which they went. So I have little doubt if the men who are clamoring for th9 renewal of tbe time limit could have tbeir way, still many of them would not be Beechers nor Spurgeona. Many persons look at this matter of changes from a purely secular and selfish standpoint. It is so unpleasant when you have formed friendships to sever them by removal. Well, we must look at this subject from a higher and holier point of observation. It is not a question of pleasure, or profit, or friendship, but a question of sacrifice and suffering if need be. for the good of men and the glory of God. When I remember what hardships and deprivation the fathers of our beloved Methodism have suffered, I dare not raise my voice in opposition to any work put upon me in the glorious present. "I am glad, on the eve of my departure, to remember that our work as pastor and people has been blast of God. Tbe congregation, I think I may safely say, have been trebled. Tbe Sabbath-school has increased 75 per cent. The attendance upon prayer-meeting has risen 200 per cent., while every interest of the church has advanced, and 102 members have been added to tbe church. In addition to this, God has opened the way by which we have been able to erect a new bouse of worship, so that instead of the old frame building on Third street we have this beautiful structure that has won the admiration of the entire community. I bespeak for my successor that cordial support and hearty co-operation which you have ever given to me, and may the God of all grace give unto you continued prosperity." Dedication of Tabernacle Chapel. Yesterday morning the dedicatory services of the new Tabernacle Cbapel, on East Washington street, were held. It is a handsome frame building, with a seating capacity of three or four hundred, neatly and tastefully furnished. It is, in some sense, the fruit of a work commenced about twenty years by the Methodists of Indianapolis, who at that time established a mission Sunday-school in a school-house near the site of the present church. After two or three years this was turned over to the Y. M. C A., who maintained it until about three years ago, when it passed to tbe Tabernacle Presbyterian Church. For quite a number of years it has not been a mission in the ordinary use of the term, but has been self-supporting and something more. The dedicating sermon was preached by Rev. J. Albert Rondthaler, from the text: "Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwelletb," Psalm xxvi, 8. Opening with a view of the satisfaction resulting to those who work earnestly for a good end until it is accomplished, and congratulating those who had labored in this special field for their zeal, their steadfastness, and the happy conclusion of tbeir efforts, the speaker passed to the consideration of sacred edifices as the dwelling-places of the Most High, and of the regard in which they should be held. He found his ideal in the lines of the Quaker poet: "I find it well to come For deeper rest to this still room; For here the habit of the soul Feels less the outer world s control; The strength of mutual purpose plead. More earnestly onr common needs; And from the silence multiplied, By these still forms on either side, The world that time and sense have known Falls off and leaves us all alone." "It is not that the infinite is confined, but that the finite mind can touch him more sensibly in one place than another." After tbe sermon, the minister announced that there was a debt of $1,700 on the lot, which the church expected to take care of, but there was, also a debt of $600 on the church, which it was desired to meet at onoe. The receiving of subscriptions was then began, and carried rapidly forward. To one at all accustomed to churchdebt raising the satisfactory nature of tbe contributions and the alacrity with which they were given were phenomenal. It was also evident, as tbe minister remarked, that much the greater portion came from those who earned their money-by daily toil, and in very many instances from people to whom the gift meant actual sacrifice. In all $900 was raised, furnishing enough to relieve tbe indebtedness on the house and leave a handsome surplus to apply on the lot.

ITS TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY The Founding of the German Orphan Asjlain Celebrated with Speeches and Beer. The twentieth anniversary of the founding of the German Protestant Orphan Asylum was observed at the grounds southeast of the city yesterday, in the manner customary heretofore. In the morning the orphans were escorted from the city to the home by citizens in carriages. After music by the city band, and singing by the children, Rev. J. C. Peters preached a short sermon from the text, "A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation." Psalm lxviii, 5. After some introductory remarks of a personal character and a slight reference to the condition of the orphans, he said: "We live in a serious time, a time of excitement. Unless all science misleads, we are on the eve of a . great revolution. The people are in a state of excitement. We should propose to solve the social problem, but how? It is not to be solved by newspaper articles nor by books, but by the exercise of brotherly love. We should strive to relieve human misery. Christ said: 'This is my commandment; that ye love one another!' To the Orphan society I would say, go on in true love, and help tbe orphans; be to tbem as fathers and mothers. Act rightly, try always to do what is just, help the suffering, and let your battle -cry be, 'God wills it! God wills it!' An excellent dinner was served after the close of the morning service, and in tbe afternoon the programme was continued in the school-room, on account of the rain. Governor Gray was the first speaker. After referring to his ill health, he said: "This is a grand charity. The Germans ought to uphold it and be proud of it It is a credit to our German citizens. It shows tbe better side of human ity the godly side. It is a credit to society and to those doing the work. You get no material compensation here, but you get it in the consciousness that you are doing for these children as you would have others do for yours. These children will have every opportunity when they are grown, and they will look back and say, God bless the home. I will not detain you longer. I only desire to attest my appreciation of this noble work by my presence here. At any future time when it may be desirable I will gladly speak for you. The fact that this is the twentieth anniversary of this home shows that it is no failure. I am not given to flattery, but one thing I would say: It is characteristic of the Germans that when they put their shoulders to a thing it is always a success." After more musical entertainment. Prof. Charles E. Emmerich spoke generally of the benefits of charity. He said that in this work difference of religious opinion had no effeot Christian, Jew, and free-thinker were equally interested in it. The reason why the celebration is held on Sunday is involved in the saying of Jesus that tbe Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. All peoples have found it advantageous to see aside one day of the week for rest, and it makes no difference whether they celebrate it by going to church or in some other way, so long as they do not trespass on the rights of others. The remainder of the day was occupied by instrumental and vocal music, and, as Mr. Thorns said to a Journal reporter, "wine and beer all you want to drink." Mr. Thorns, who was at the head of the committees, was in a stateof indignation because the W. C. T. U. bad requested Superintendent Travis to enforce tbe liquor law at the grounds. There were four large bars dispensing wine and beer, and a number of candy and pop-corn booths. There were about twenty policemen on the ground, preserving order. It was estimated that the profits of the day's sales would be about $1,000. Tbe beer consumed produced a jovial exhilaration in many of the men present, but there was noobnoxious drunkenness except on tbe part of fifteen or twenty American boys, half-grown, whose stomachs were probably not accustomed to the presence of stimulants. None of the stands were leased. They belonged to the society, and the proceeds are devoted to sustaining the home.

EJETURN OF THE HOME CLUB

The Players Are in Good Condition and Expect to Check the Run of Bad Luck. Jack Glasscock Denies a Statement Attributed to Him bj an Eastern Paper Association Games and Base Ball Notes. The Indianapolis players returned home yesday morning with no appearance of being east down over the several defeats they suffered on their Eastern tr:p. In many games they say they had ten men to play against, with the favor of the crowds always extended to the home clubs! They did not expect to win more than seven or eight of the games, which they could have done, if the umpiring had been at all fair. Only in a few instances do they admit that their playing was bad, but tbey say that if in the games to be played on the home grounds they do as well as they did in the majority of the Eastern games, their opponents will have all they can do to defeat them. Jack Glasscock says he has been misrepresented in the statement that he told a Boston reporter that he was tired of being with a tail-end club. "I said nothing of tbe kind," continued Jack. "I do not make a habit of talking to reporters. I am satisfied to be with an Indianapolis club, and, although we have not won the games I expected at the beginning of' the season, we are to-day stronger than Pittsburg or Washington. The Eastern clubs are better than ours, but they would not be so much so if we bad the batting strength necessary to equalize matters. Bad luck has followed us throughout the season, It began with the loss of those two Detroit games, which we ought to have had. When we went East on our last trip we were then in better condition, but bad Iuck and the umpires were opposed to us. There is no dissatisfaction in the club. Every roan, as far as 1 know, is ready to do his work to the best of his ability. I acknowledge, that when I first came to Indianapolis, I did not like it, but now I would rather play here than in any other city. I like tbe place, and do not expect anything else than to play short-stop with the club next year." In the game to-day with the New Yorks the battery will be Healy and Hackett Play will be called at 4 o'clock, but to-morrow it will probably be a quarter of an hour earlier. Games Yesterday. LOUISVILLE, 9; METROPOLITANS, 6. New York, Sept 11. Tbe extraordinary number of assists scored by the Louisvilles in their postponed game with the Metropolitans at Weehawken to day, shows slow batting and proper fielding on the parts of tbe Metropolitans and Louisvilles, respectively. The grounds at Weehawken are too small to admit of long hitting, as every ball that goes into or beyond the crowd counts for only two bases. There was no especially good fielding done, except by Kerins, D. O'Brien and White: Kerins caught three pick-ups that were thrown to him; O'Brien, who replaced Hopan at short, after the latter had made three child-like errors, in the third inning, and White handled a ball that Mack found too hot to more than stop, in time to throw O'Brien out at first. Less than a thousand spectators were present, the sad experiences of last Sunday and the threatening weather keeping away the crowd.

Brooklyn, Sept 1L A good game of ball was played at Ridgewood to-day, and the Clevelands were shut out by the Brooklyns without a run. The weather was raw and cold, and at one time rain threatened to put an end to the game. Tbe playing was good on both sides, and the pitchers fought all through tbe game for supremacy. Porter bad decidedly the best of it, the Clevelands only making four hits off him. Otterson, tbe new short-stop of the Brooklyns, improves every time he plays. At first he was weak in his batting, but to-day he managed to hit for a three-bagger. His fielding is very good. McGlone, of the Clevelands, played very finely at third base. Clark supported Porter well, and his daring base running was greatly applauded. Attendance 4,196. Score: Brooklyn OOOllOlO 25 Cleveland OOOOOOOO O O Earned runs Brooklyn, 2. Throe-base hit Otterson.

A prominent League club is said to be after Pettee, of Salem. Madden has won six out of the last seven games in which he has pitched. Shaw, the pitcher released by Washington, has signed with the Portlands. At Logansport yesterday the Stars defeated the Metropolitans, of Fort Wayne, 11 to L In but seven games of this season has Johnston, of tbe Bostons, failed to have a put out The one-sided nature of the contest has greatly affected tbe receipts of American-association clubs. Hatfield, at Portland, Thursday, pitched two games against the Lynns, who got two hits in the first and only five in the second. The Philadelphias will try hard to secure Williamson for their nine next season, and negotiations in that direction are now going on. Dave Foutz thinks Cincinnati will finish second in spite of the fact that she plays nine more games against the St Louis Browns, while the Louisvilles play cine against Cleveland. Mike Kelly gets $4,300 for the season, according to tbe latest report The season lasts six months, from April 15 to Oct 13, as a rule. For one month's play he gets $716.GG, or about $30 for each game he plays. A Boston man gazing at the bulletin-board when it became evident that Detroit would capture both of Wednesday's games, remarked, "That settles it The Detroits will get the championship and a big drunk and that's alL" Louisville is looking for first place next season, and already has its nine ready. 'The pitchers will be Hecker, Ramsey, Chamberlaion, Daniels, Neal and another one, and the catchers Kerins, Cook, Cross and Myers; Smith, firstbase; Mack, second; Wei rick, third, White, short, and Browning, Collins and Wolf in the field. When Anson was asked if his club would win the pennant he replied: "Oh, I am satisfied with the position we hold now. But I can tell you one thing, if Chicago don't win the championship this year, we will set it next year, dead sure. We hardly expect it this year, as we have a lot of new men who are filling the positions of great players.". Forty-two games have been played this season where less than five hits were made. Buffinton has pitched two games in which but one hit was made off bis delivery. Of the games with two bits Rad bourn has pitched one, Madden one. Welch one. Pete Conway one and Healy two. Radbourn holds a record once of three hits, O'Day once, Casey twice; Welch, Keefe, Whitney, Ferguson, Pete Conway, McCormick and Clarkson one each. Of eames where four bits have been made, Keefe has pitched five, Getzein three, Boyle and Welch two each. R. Conwav, O'Day, Whitney. Radbourn, Mattiroore, Titcomb, Beatin, Galvin, Loitner and Mark Baldwin have one each. ABOUT CUESS PLATERS AND PLATING. In the match between Willett and Ripley, the former is still in the lead, and will enter the State contest next January. B. Goldenberger. of Chicago, who visited the club here a week ago with such success, returned to lose four straight games to C. D. Thompson. Wm. Steinitz has prepared to play a match with Cant McKenzie, who won tne first prize at the Frankfort international tournament for the championship of the world and $1,000. and give the latter for the purse the odds of two games. Dr. Leach, one of the State champions, termed tbe summer champion, was in the city on professional business and spent a few hours at the chess club. He said be did not know yet. owing to his business, what he would do regarding the challenge of Ripley to play a match. He played several off-hand games with Ripley, East and Lang, of this city, and with Mr. Hiatt, of Stilesville, winning all and losing none. On his war here he stopped at Crawfordsville and

lost a came to Mr. Elston. He is glad bis game with Mr. Elston was not a match and sorry that his games here were not The dispute in the match between Messrs. J. M. Hanbam and F. K. Young, at Boston, which was decided a draw by the umpires because Mr. Youne, having won a came, made a move at time of adjournment upon the board subject to inspection by his opponent without sealing it, has become a matter of general discussion. Mr. Young resigned from the club in indignation, and appealed to Mr. Stemitz, who replies: "I have no hesitation to say that the decision of the umpires was erroneous. " Mr. A. B. Hodges, the Tennessee champion, was recently summoned from Nashville to a Tennessee watering-place to play with an Arkansas phenomenon, Mr. J. C. Richtor, of Helena. Mr. Hodges first beat Mr. Rightor ten straight games, even: then gave him one game, even, to enable bim to return to bis Arkansas friends; then beat him five games, giving bim odds of Rook; then beat him two games and lost one, giving him odds of Bishop and Knight; and finally beat him two games playing blindfold. The Arkansas man looked toothpicks, but used none.

JOLIErS CATALEPTIC LUNATIC. Interesting; Statement of the Case of Mrs. John HeberU JoIIet (111.) Special. Mrs. John Hebert, who has been in a state of catalepsy ten months, and is now confined in St. Joseph's Hospital, in this city, continues to attract attention far and near. The surgeon in charge to-day gave the following medical and scientific view of the case: "This case is the most remarkable one on record of the kind by reason of tbe long-continued duration or persistence of the cataleptic feature of the disorder. The disease or symptom of catelepsy is usually of temporary duration, or, at least, if long-continued, is characterized by intermissions. A very prominent English authority on nervous diseases. Dr. Ross, says that when catelepsy is long-continued there is very likely an error of observation, and that when such a case is reported as being a continued case, or that tbe symptoms are continuous, the intermissions are not observed. This patient has been under close observations for many months, and certainly disapproves the claims of Ross. Her cataleptic condition never leaves her. "During the patient's stay in the hospital her general strength has improved. On admission she could not stand nor walk. There was reason to believe that she was partly conscious, but her eyes were closed, and her attitude that of a sleeping person, as well as her expression. "Our patient is at least always semi-conscious during the daytime. During the first two or three months she was always quiet, with eyes closed, but not forcibly, the skin cool, the temperature below natural, slight flush of face, pulse, soft, compressed and regular, and breathing shallow and regular. These are the usual conditions of catalepsy, and these general symptoms never vary. Of late she bas been able to walk, and bas done considerable talking. "A medical man visited her from St, Louis, and advised the use of cocaine. The remedy was tried and bad the effect to set her to talking. The subject of the conversation was diet, and a repetition of the same thing. We have all beard the waitress eay: 'Peach pie, apple pie, plum pudding, peach pudding.' Our cataleptio's talk was of this-order after a dose of cocaine. She would say: A noodle soup, a peach pie, a ham and eggs, cream pie,' probably continuing these remarks all day and half the night The conversation became so monotonous on her part that the cocoaine was withdrawn. Since then the talk has subsided. "The query will come up, Why is the catalepsy so long continued? and the answer appears clear enough. The woman is insane, and the catalepsy happens to be a symptom of the brain disease which causes both the insanity and tbe catalepsy. Medical authors make several classifications of catalepsy, basing the speciea and varietles, or the different kinds, upon certain associations. Thus a perverson of functions of the brain may result from fright, and one of the symptoms be catalepsy. When the brain recovers and other symptoms banish, the catalepsy will also depart This would be one species of catalepsy. The hysterical condition of tbe nervous system may also give rise to associated catalepsy. Sometimes attacks of epilepsy are preceded by catalepsy. Bat catalepsy cannot be associated with any other disorder: then it is a law and a disease unto itself, and is called essential catalepsy. "Our cataleptic case was taken insane in the first place, the insanity being due to heredity and prolonged lactation and unpleasant family relations. Her insanity was at first of the active, maniacal, talkative type, followed by melancholia and the cataleptic symptom. Since then her condition has been the same, with the exception of the cocoaine period, and excepting fluctuations of general nutrition. Expressing the patient's disease pathologically, and in pathological terminology, she is a cataleptoid lunatic. "The treatment of the case bas been conducted with the object of increasing her nutrition generally, and particularly the nervous system. The patient is fed regularly, often, and with the most nutritious food. The special treatment consists of nerve tonics and nutrients, and the special nerve stimulants and alteratives afforded by drugs and galvanism. The progress of the case during the last two months leads us to hope for her recovery." THE METHODIST BISHOPS. Recent Mortality Among tbe Heads of the Church. Syracuse (N. Y.) Standard. Bishop William L. Harrison was a notable figure in the Methodist Episcopal Board of Bishops, a body strong in the energy, virtues, and talents of its members. He bad not the eloquence of Simpson and Foster, the varied brilliancy of tbe two Havens and of Fowler, or the learning of E. O. Haven, Fobs, . and Hurst; but he was, nevertheless, distinguished as an authority on the law of the church, and his mind was marked by its logical, practical quality. His death adds another to the changes nine years have made among tbe bishops. In that time Gilbert Haven, E. O. Haven, Scott, Peck, Simpson, Wiley and Harris thave passed away, all but tbe venerable Scott being in service nearly to the time of their death. Each general conference elects several new members of the episcopal board, usually four, to fill vacancies and provide for tbe growiner needs of the church, which is spreading rapidly in the West Rapid, however, as is the extension of the denomination in the Western States andTerritories, good Bishop timber grows almost exclusively in'the Atlantic States, so that the quadrennial conferences have considerable trouble in finding Western candidates who are the compeers of Foss. Hurst, Andrews and others. The singular mortality affecting the beads ot the churcb is not to be explained on tne supposition tbat physically weak men are often chosen to perform the labors of superintendency; the explanation will be found in the vastness of those labors, in and the itinerant character which the bishop's office, no less than the elder( reveals. The territory subject to the superintendents is not divided into dioceses; but the ten, twelve or thirteen bishops constitute together the ruling body outside the General Conference. Though a bishop may be situated in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Cincinnati, St Louis, San Francisco, or perhaps a port in China, his residence is subject to change, while the annual' conferences over which be presides are different from year to year, and these are continually shifting their place of meeting. Each bishop is bishop of the whole church. These servants cf the denomination, with 2.000,000 people to serve and about one hundred ministerial conferences, are commonly past middle age when selected, and, at a time of life when ease and regularity are most agreeable to the spirit and the flesh, are engaged in the exacting, changing duties of the most energetic and aggressive of protestant organizations. Possibly we have met somewhere a denial that the lives of these pious men are shortened by the exertions of their office. But, in the light of the fact that ministers surpass almost every other class in longevity, some of them appear to have dropped in tbe harness prematurely. Still, if the cause of the church is best subserved by the present system, the sacrifice can be afforded. It is by such sacrifice tbat the human race advances and the world is what it is. Walt Whitman Cottaee. Boston Letter in Springfield Eepub'.ican. The subscription for the Walt Whitman cottage has been successfully carried through. The sum required, $800, has been raised and forwarded to the poet, who will follow his own inclination in the choice of a site and design, and will himself supervise the building. It will be at some pleasant spot at the shore or in the countrv in New Jersey. Few things have given Whitman so much pleasure, of late years, as this little testimonial from his friends, and he is now much interested in making his arrangements for carrying out the idea. Another project the Whitmau Society, has not been so successful. - Object of Labor Parades. New York Evening Post. The fondness of tbe laborers for parades like that of "labor day." as a means of "showing their strength," is wholly or almost wholly due to the notion that somebody iskeeping them out of something which be will surrender when he ewes bow numerous they are. This is the sole object of showing "strength." It is a sort of semi hostile demonstration, like the naval and military reviews to wbich European sovereigns treat their enemies or rivals. It means that if the rest of the , corn-

community does not let them have their due, some sort of compulsion for which "strength" is necessary will be resorted to. This notisn is kept alive and encouraged by such talk as Mr. Bnt ter worth's. But for it we rhould, instead of the tomfoolery of "labor day." have exhibitions showing how much capital the laborers have; how many commodities tbey produce and sell on their own account: how little tbey spend in drink; how much they have done to improve their own dwellings and raise their standards of living, and to increase their mental and moral culture. These are things on which civilized men nowadays pride or ought to pride themselves. It is the kind of men we are, and not how many of us there are, which most concerns or ought most to concern all of us.

The Itoaa to Mr. Gladstone). Philadelphia LeCV In addition to thm formal invitation to Mr. Gladstone to visit this country a very earnest effort was made by means of private correspondence and personal communication to induce him to accept As mentioned yesterday, a carte blanche was sent to provide every inducement that ocean steamship - travel affords in these days for the comfort, and gratification of Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone and for such party of personal friends as they might select to accompany tbem. The personal communications between Mr. Child s, in Philadelphia, and Mr. Hnrlbert, in London, on this part of the subject, are withheld from publication. During the consultations Earl Rosebery, Lord Acton, Lord Granville, and other close personal friends of Mr. Gladstone took kindly part, and, although tha grand lettsr declining tbe invitation .was dated the 20th t f July, tbe case was not considered as finally closed even as late as Aug. 29. A Queen Regent at Her Bath. London Truth. The Queen Regent of Spain taking her bath is now the daily sight on which the idlers at San Sebastian feast their eyes. As many spectators assemble to see her descend into the waves and plunge therein as if a bull-fight were going on. The Spaniards are the most equality-loving people in the world, and tbe corporation of the town informed her Majesty that it would never do to have a part of tbe beach set apart for her use. She wears lint shoes, stockings, pantalettes of the zouave kind, with deep frills hiding the ankles and a short tunic For several days she made one of her ladios, who is her age and height, bathe before the crowd. Chamberlains) and bathing-men were instructed to pay her all the reverence due to a sovereign. When she came out of the water the crowd dispersed, and Donna Christian was able to bathe without feeling she was a public show. Severe Halo-Storms in the West Tucson, A. T., Sept 11. -The storms of Thursday and Friday were the most severe ever known in this section. Five miles of the Southern Pacific track between this poipt and Benson was washed away. Two large bridges over the Cenago and Rillita rivers were destroyed. Telegraph wires are down, and in some places are imbedded ten feet in the sand. Steel rails were carried a quarter of a mile down the stream. Southern Pacific trains are being run over the Atlantic & Pacific road. Washouts are also reported all along tbe line from Tucson to Yuma. From parties in from the San Pedro and Rillita rivers it is learned that the flood is the worst ever known in Arizona, and many old landmarks have been washed away and fields of grain swept over. . The Southern Pacific officials say tbat travel over the road cannot be resumed for a week. Killed by Drunken Picnickers. Chicago. Sept 1L WThile Mrs. Henry Seile, of GroBse Point, and a lady companion, were riding in a buegy this afternoon in a funeral procession, about one mile west of that place, a Bhot fired by one of a picnic party in the woods by the roadside struck her in the back, almost instantly killing her. The procession was almost instantly broken up, and but for the influence of some cooler heads the picnic party would have been badly used. The party, sit men and four women, who, it is said, were from Chicago, were arrested and locked up at Grosse Point It is claimed that they were the worse for liquor, and that tbey were shooting at a mark in a reckless manner.
