A sensational abduction ease has just come to light here which involves a well-known Cleveland traveling salesman. Two days ago there arrived here a handsome and well-dressed woman from Cleveland, named Lottie C Lamme, who stated that a month ago her husband came borne one evening and asked her to go walking. She declined, but permitted her five-year old daughter, Elma, to go with the father. That was the last she saw of either, and since that time the lady has kept up the search for her daughter.

INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF FRIENDS.

Preliminary Session of a Remarkable GatheringFirst of the Kind in Fifty Tears. Special to the Indiauavolis Journal. Richmond, Ind., Sept. 23.

Thomas was appointed temporary chairman, and Dr. William Nicholson, of Kansas, and Mrs. Mahalah Jay, of this city, clerks. Remarks were made by the chairman, Barnabas C Hobbs, and J. Bevan Braithwaite, of London, who said It was fifty years since the Friends had held any meeting of the kind, and it was the only one in which London and Dublin yearly meetings ever participated. After the selection of committees on permanent organization and business, the question was raised as to employing a stenographer and not admitting the public (including newspaper reporters), and, after an expression of quite a difference of views on the subject, it was referred to a committee. The delegates present are: Indiana Francis W. Tho as, Wm. A. Pinkham Timothy Nicholson, Allen Jar, Thomas N. White Robert W. Douglas, Mahala Jay, Naomi Harrison Tamer T. Hill, Mary H.

Philadelphia Yearly Meeting not being in correspondence, her representatives were, on question, admitted to discussion but not to vote. After considerable discussion the method of determining the judgments of the conference usual in Friends' meetings was adopted, as distinguished from voting either as individuals or yearly meetings. In the evening session the business eommittee presented the question, "Is it desirable that all the yearly meetings of Friends in the world should adopt one declaration of Christian doctrine?" Dr. Rhodes, president of Bryn Mawr College, made a very able argument for the reaffirmation by the yearly meetings collectively of the testimony of the society to the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, the fatherhood of God, the atonement, and other offices of Jesus Christ, the non-necessity of the outward ordinances and lawfulness of their disuse; for peace, and against oaths. D. B. Updegraff. of Ohio, alone opposed the proposition, which was adopted by the conference. The Second Day. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Richmond, Ind., Sept 24. The permanent organization of the conference of delegates from yearly meetings of Orthodox Friends in this country and Europe, was effected in the selection of James Wood, of New York, as chairman, and Jehu II. Stewart, of Iowa, and Mahala Jay, of Indiana, as secretaries. The report of th clerk of the businesss eommittee was for three sessions a day; for only the wives and husbands and delegates and two friends of each delegate to be admitted for deciding questions in the conference, as in yearly meetings; for the names of persons aud the yearly meeting they represent to, be announced by the Chair when they rise to speak; for a twenty-minutes' limit on speeches, and n repetition without consent of the chair for five minutes more. After discussion, amendments were made to allow ten visitors to each delegate, to submit questions of doubt to a direct vote, and to allow speakers longer time by permission of the chair. The business committee reported two subjects for consideration. First, "Is it desirable that all the yearly meetings in the world should adopt one declaration of Christian doctrine?'' second. "What i3 the mission of the Society of Friends? What is its message to the world? How can we best fulfill and declare them?" Both questions received lengthy consideration. The first question was disposed of affirmatively, the chair so announcing the sense of the meeting. Relative to the second question, the clerk read a minute to the effect that the conclusion deducted from the discussion was that the church should have a restatement of doctrines, but the task of drafting the same into shape for final adoption was referred to a committee. To the Western Associated Press. Richmond, Ind., Sept. 24. The conference of Orthodox Frienhs continued its sessions here today, occupying the morning with discussion of the mission and message of the Society of Friends. J. Bevan Braithwait, of London, presented Christ's words, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature as indicating the . society's mission, claiming it as addressed to bo privileged class but to the individual members of His church. He objected to a one-man system in church government as an assumed monopoly of the Holv Ghost and promotive of spiritual babyism. Francis W. Thomas, of Indiana, considered the society's mission was to execute the will of Jesus Christ. George Gillett, of London, claimed the recognition by Friends of the equality of women in preaching and church government sufficient alone to justify the existence of the society; also that in Europe, especially. Friends are needed to uphold Christ as the Prince of Peace, as the burden of a standing army is felt to be very oppressive by the working people. Friends in England were the first of the churches to protest against licensing prostitution. J. T. Doeland, of Canada, claimed that it was the peculiar missions of Friends to maintain the priesthood of believers with all its logical result in conduct of meeting and individual life. Israel P. Hale, of Ohio, declared the original mission of the society to have been to call men from outward form to inward and spiritual worship of Christ, and that it still remained the same. The afternoon session was occupied in considering a proposition for a union of the American yearly meetings in foreign mission work, which was generally approved. In the evening session it was decided that in view of the recent concurrent action of eight yearly meetings in this country in regard to the outward ordinance, as indicated in the following minutes of Indiana Yearly Meeting the position of the society on this question should not be opened here: "We believe it to be inconsistent for any one to be acknowledged or retained in the position of minister or elder among ns who continues to participate in or to teach the necessity of the outward rite of baptism or of the supper." A Fool and His Money. Special to the ldianaoolia Journal. Terre Haute, Ind., Sept 24. Alexander McPheeters, one of the richest men in the county, came to the city to-day to get $2,000 he left with two bunko steerers yesterday. One of the two represented to him yesterday that he was Frank McKeen, son of the President of the Vandalia road, and that he bad drawn $1,000 in a lottery, but could not collect t unless he made a deposit of $2,000; that be did not want to let his father know that he had been buying lottery tickets. McPheeters went to the bank and got $2,000 for his friend and was to come in town to day to get it back; also, S2.00C of the lottery money for the use ot it. Finding that he had been swindled, he complained to the police but there is little hope of catching the rascals. Au Assignment Set Aside. New York. Sept 24. In December, 18S6, the firm of C. M. Foster & Co., for a number of years dealers in imported plushes, furniture covers, etc., made an assignment to Frank IL Human. The liabilities of the firm were about 11,000,000 and the schedules showed assets amounting to $773,000. Creditors were preferred to the extent of $200,000. After the assignment A. and S. Henry, of Birmingham, England,

secured a judgment against the assigned firm for about $100,000 and brought an action to set aside the assignment on the ground of fraud The court to-day gave a decision setting the assignment aside as fraudulent and void, and ordered that a receiver be appointed.

A reporter called on General Pryor, to-day. to ascertain if possible the name of the judge to whom be meant to apply for a writ of error in the case of the condemned Chicago Anarchists. "We shall most undoubtedly apply for the writ of error." 6aid the General, "but what justice we are going to make our application to has not yet been decided." BRITISH GREED OP CONQUEST. The Attempt to Control the Mouth of the Orinoco and Steal a Valuable Territory, New Youk Sept 24. The sailing of the English man-of-war Pyla des, from Trinidad to Laguayra, to demand indemnity from the government of Yenzuela for the detention of the schooners Josephine and Henriette would seem to point to an active policy on the part of Great Britain in her dispute with the South American Republic. Senor De Silva, the Consul-general of Venezuela in this city, said: "The two schooners mentioned have been detained for non-compliance with the customs regulations and they were seized just as a vessel which did not comply with the reglatious of this government might have been taken. In my opinion it is merely an attempt of the Tory Ministry in England to imitate Mr. Glad' stone's Egyptian war. They have got themselves into so much trouble in Iieiand that they hope to cover it up by a vigorous policy in Venezuela. But what we look for is the interference of the United States. The question has been before your State De- ! partment some time now, end it is really a serious one. The territory which England has assumed control of is larger than British Guiana, and it is territory which Lord Granville has acknowledged belonged to Venezuela. They have taken the island of Barima, which is at the mouth of the Orinoco, and they permit the en- . trance of goods 'from English colonies free of duty. Tbey levy taxes upon the people and act in all matters as the rulers of the country. "The real gist of this matter is the control of the Orinoco river. Its control means an enormous influence upon the South American republics, and an influence tueh as the United States should have cause to dislike exceedingly. "As far as war goes, the English could, of course, blockade the Venezulean ports If the United States would allow them to do so. If tbey attempted to invade the country it is probable that their troops would die off like sheep in the fevers of the coast line, the terra calieate. However, before matters got to that point, I suppose the United States would interfere." LABOR INTERESTS. The Disturbance Araoni; the Miners In the Indiana Coal-Fields. Vikcesjtes, Ind., Sept 24. The coal miners throughout this section are still out on strike. Five hundred miners are out at Cabell & Coe's mines; 200 at Montgomery, at the Union mines; about 100 at Roger's mines, in Pike county; about 100 at Biedermeyers mines, in Pike county, and 800 in the mines around Evansville. The Washington miners demand CO cents per ton for miners and $1.55 per day for day hands. The miners below the Ohio & Mississippi railroad are all out on strike. Their especial demand is that the mines south of the Ohio and Mississippi railway will be operated on the same scale as the mines north of this point that is the scale fixed by the Miners' and Owners' Federation. The companies have all refused the demand, and the miners are holding meetings each day and are determined to hold out Arbitration, however, may solve the problem before many days. The miners in the Evansville region demand an increase of 12i cents per ton. The price paid them formerly was 77J cents. Beidermeier's men got their demand, but they refuse to go to work until the district troubles aie settled. The miners also demand pay every two weeks. The Lehigh Valley Tronbles. New York, Sept 24. A Philadelphia special says: There will he, according to statements from trustworthy sources, an adjustment of the strike troubles in the Lehigh region within a week. It is believed a committee of employes will meet the managers, and that the advance will be paid. The companies state in justification of their course, that not a name signed to the petition for an advance was genuine. York's Centennial. York, Pa,. Sent 24. The second and last day of the centennial celebration of York as a borough was ushered in at sunrise this morning by the chiming of bells and the booming of cannon.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company also had numerous floats in line, representing their different departments. This afternoon commemorative exercises were held in the opera-house, at which a number of addresses were made. The celebration ended to-nigbt with a masquerade ball, parade and general illumination. A Fight with Smugglers. St. Louis, Sept. 24. A special from San AnAntonio, Tex., says: "A posse was sent from th United States marshal's office to Rio Grande City a few days ago. to capture a gang of smugglers who were encamped about fifty miles from Laredo. They found the camp in the brush near the river, and a demand for surrender was answered by a volley from Winchesters. A battle ensued, resulting in the death of four of the smugglers and the capture of the camp and a number of horses. The living smugglers escaped by stampeding the horses and following through the gap in the line, taking refuge on the Mexican side. None of the officers were hurt" Proposal to Form Auxiliary Navy. New Yoek, Sept 24. About fifty prominent steamship owners, yachtsmen, merchants and ex-marine revenue officers, yesterday, held a meeting in the United States Circuit Court here, and discussed the advisability of establishing a naval reserve. Elbridge T. Gerry, Commodore cf the New York Yacht Club, was made chairman. The object of the meeting was stated to be a consideration of the organization of a naval reserve which, in time of war, would be an auxiliary navy, just as the militia is an auxiliary to the regular navy. The reserve navy of Eng-

land was cited, with its 25.000 men, and the like precautions of of Canada was referred to. The steam yachts of the New York Yacht Club, some of which developed from fourteen to' eighteen and one-half knots per hour would mate the finest torpedo boats in the world. G. W. Miller, manager of the Stonington line, offered a series of resolutions approving the establishment by Congress, at its next session, of a naval reserve, to consist of officers and men from the mercantile marine, yachtsmen and watermen generally; and of vessels to be built with reference to use in time of war as auxiliary to the regular navy, such reserve to be established on the great lakes as well as the seaboard. The Secretary of the Navy is to be consulted by a committee of ten, as to the furtherance of the project DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN.

A Field Cay in the Divorce Courts. Chicago, Sept. 24. To-day will he divorce day par excellance in the courts, as there are nearly, if not quite, one hundred default cases to be heard by five judges. Two of them. Judges Sbepard and Jamieson, will begin work at 9 o'clock this morning. This is the largest number of divorce cases ever set for hearing in one day in this city, and shows that Chicago as a divorce headquarters is by no means falling off. The cause of this number is owing partly to tbe material growth of populatn, and partly also to the fact that the judges this year kept their vacation religiously, and declined to bear any but urgent matters. Judge Collins appears to be the most popular, as he has thirty-once cases on bis calendar. Judge Horton comes next with twenty, Judge Shepard has seventeen. Judge Garnett sixteen, and Judge Jamieson is at the rear with only eight Phenomenal Rain-Fall iu Eastern Mexico. Galveston, Tex., Sept 24.

G. XV. Chllds's Opiuion of Mrs. Cleveland. Philadelphia Public Ledger. Mrs. Cleveland possesses the charm that Italians call simpatica. She is not coldly graceful in her station, accepting as a matter of course the compliments and rei-peet of her thousands of new friends. She is observant, individually, and responsive to all tbe frank friendliness that has been showered upon her in the crowded days of last week. The President has been welcomed in this overwhelmingly Republican city, with much personal enthusiasm and with the honor due to his office. Yet we are sot sure but that the part he most enjoyed of all the stately and familiar scenes be has gone through must have been at the conclusion of Saturday's banquet, when Judge Kelley's call for "three cheers for Mrs. Cleveland's husband" conveyed Philadelphia's appreciative good wish es and friendliest good-bye. Mrs. Parsons'. Case. Chicago, Sept 24. Mrs. Parsons, the dusky wife of the condemned Anarchist, was arraigned before Jostic Lyon this morning for refusing to comply with a police officer's warning to desist from violating the city ordinance against distributing circulars on the streets. The policeman testified that even on the way to the station she continued the obnoxious work. In court Mrs. Parsons assumed the sir of a martyr. She claimed the ordinance was a dead letter. "I hope," she said, pleadingly, to the justice, "that you will remember where my husband is, and deal with me as you would wish your own wife to be dealt with under similar circumstances." The justice said he would continue the case until Tuesday, allowing Mrs. Parsons to depart on her own recognizance. A large number of the woman's friends were in court Steamship News.

A New York correspondent has made the remarkable discovery that Mrs. Langtry puts one foot in front of the other when she walks. If the Jersey Lily took one foot in her band and strolled down Fith avenue, or hung both feet over her shoulder and promenaded up Broadway, nothing would he thought of it, but to actually place one foot before another when she walks is too startling to be believed. Mrs. Langtry's advertising roan must have bson working the New York correspondent That Texas Hurricane. Galvsston, July 24. The following telegram to tha Associated Press' was received this afternoon: "Bbownsvilt s. Tex., Sept 24. Please contradict telegrams sent from here relating to devastation by storm in this city.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal A gentleman residing in the northern part of tbe eity said today: "I have looked into the possibilities of - getting gas by the Doxey company, and fully believe it means gas this year. But now that there is a chance to obtain gas for winter use, interested parties of other schemes, who have been wearing out the patience of the people to force a repeal of tha present ordinance, tell us that other companies will get ess here before the Doxey company Every one who has observed the dallying, knows that but for this new movement the gas question was dead ' for this season. I propose to stand by the man or men that revived hopes for gas. If the present effort should be defeated there would again be a complete relapse. For one I won't help grind anybody's ax. I want gas for winter's use, and fully expect it B. Three Victims of Accidents.
