CLOSE OF. THE ENCAMPMENT

The G. A. R. Veterans Wind Up Their Business and Break Camp.

Jadjre Ilea, of Minnesota, Chosen Commander-in-Chief The Farewell Banquet at the Lindell and Camp-Fire ot the Boys.

St. Louis, Sept SO. The encampment was called to order at 9 a. at The report o' the inspector-general was adopted with slight amendment Comrade Death, of Pennsylvania, called attention to an article An one of the St Louis morning papers, in which it was stated that he had said there never was a Democratic commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, and by the Eternal God there never would be. He characterized the ' statement as an infamous lie and slander. Comrade Reynolds, of New York, said that no member of the New York delegation would claim that any such statement had been made. Comrade Death replied that he had no doubt it was a lie, out of whole cloth. .Comrade Turner, of New York, rose to a question of privilege, and said that yesterday the same paper stated that he was putting the knife under Slocum's ribs, and said that it was an absolute lie, and, furthermore, on the 25tbof July, the same paper published an editorial on the pension question, iu which they stated that life had been altogether pleasant for Tanner since the war closed, and that it was not too much to say that he would not have his legs back under any consideration. He said that nothing fitted such statements as that except, in plain Saxon, they lied. Comrade Anthony, of Kansas, made an attempt to reconsider the report of the committee on resolutions, by which a proposition to raise money for the erection of a monument to General Warren was defeated. He was unwilling to go so far in the monument business. The committee on resolutions reported back the resolution offered by Comrade Vandervoort in regard to the vote on the dependent pension bill, and a pension to Mrs. Logan, recommending the adoption of that part of it which' referred to Mrs. Logan's pension, and the rejection of the balance, on the ground that the matter had been fully covered by the action on the report of the pension committee. The report was adopted, after considerable discussion upon that part of it relating to the veto. Comrade Vandervort opened the debate by claiming that the Grand Army should have the courage of its convictions and should vote as they felt upon this question. Comrade Grosvenor, of Ohio, spoke in favor of the report, and said he had as much feeling upon the pension question as any other man, but he stood as the representative of a body of men greater than the President of the United States, greater than the Congress of the United States, and more dignified in their utterances than the President bad shown himself to be. He said the question was more important than any other that, had been submitted in a national encampment; that the question was what the encampment ought to do. whether it ought to make platforms for political parties or ougbt to state its position in a dignified manner, as though there never had been a President of the United States. He said the Grand Army should stand as a mountain stands upon the plain, regardless of the coyotes at the foot of it, proclaiming in majestic words that it was in favor of this pension legislation and opposed to every attack upon the interest of the soldiers. Comrade McDonnell, of Indiana, spoke npon the same side, and under the operation of the previous question Comrade Vandervoort's amendment was overwhelmingly defeated, and the report of the committee waa adopted by a vote of 318 to 173. The following is Vandervoort's resolution, which was defeated: Resolved, That while we feel that no body of citizens can have a more exalted respect than we for the office cf Preiident of the United States, that we have manifested that by services and sacrifices such as the world has never seen equaled, yet this does not obscure our perception of blameworthy acts of the Incumbent of that high position, nor deprive us of the right of criticism of our public servants, which is one of the dearest prerogatives of American citizenship. Resolved, also, that while we recognize that the disapproval of any measure presented to him by Congress is a constitutional prerogrative of the President to be exercised by him according to bis discretion, yet we cannot feel that this involves also the privilege of going beyond the bounds of that power, to officially insult or slander the broken-down and needy men to whom the cation owes everything. Resolved. Also, that the dependent pension bill passed by the Forty-ninth Congress and vetoed by the President, was the least measure of justice that could have been asked of the Nation for the men to whom it owes its salvation: that it did not represent a tithe of what is due those gallant men, and that in refusing to approve of a bill which was asked for by the grateful people, petitioned for by hundreds of thousands of veterans, passed by both houses of Congress by an unnsual majority, and which would have rescued thousands of as deserving soldiers as followed the Hag from the cold charity of the almshouse, the present ineuml eat of the office of President has violated the pledge made to the soldiers when they flocked to the standard of their country at the time of her greatest peril, bas thwartel the express will of a grateful people, and has inflicted cruelty irreparable upon those who should be the objects of the tenderest consideration. The committee on resolutions presented majority and minority reports on the $8 a-month, or service pension bill. The majority of the committee reported against the measure, and the minority of five (a committee, one from each department) reported in its favor. On motion, an hour was given to the discussion of the report At the afternoon session, on the motion of Comrade Wagoner, of Pennsylvania, a committee was appointed to get up a testimonial to present to Commander-in-chief Faircbild. The election of officers for the ensuing year was then declared in order, and the following nominations for commander-in-chier were made: General Slocum, Gen. T. Rea, General Anthony, Gen. D. P. Grier. Slocum received 153. Anthony received CG, Grier received 18 and Rea 294. Sherman received one and Warner, of Missouri, one. General Rea was declared elected. He was escorted to the platform by tne defeated candidates, Anthony and Grier. and returned thanks to the encampment as follows: "Commander-in-Chief and Comrades I esteem it an honor eqnal to any that can possibly come to an American citizen to be elected as commander of this organization, embracing, as it does, almost the entire number of -the survivors of the men who crowded four centuries of progress into four years of war. Applause. I shall not undertake now to make a speech to you, but I hope to see you sll some time during the coming rear. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and appreciate the honor which you have conferred upou nae. In four months from this time I will have reached my majority as a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. Applause. I have loved it, and I have a sincere hope to pre.ervo its honor and keep it true to the cardinal doctrines u on which it is founded, and whatever it is necessary to do, that will be- done by me. I have only this to say. that I trust that, ns the events of this year are woven a woof into the warp of time, making the web of Grand Army history, it will be my ambition, will be my purpose, as it is my highest hope, that there may be in that web. Comrade Fairchild, no seam that will at all show where your administration enued and mine began. Cheers for Rea. The rules were suspended and Nelson Cole, of Missouri, was elected senior vice commander. The junior vice-commander was John C. Linahan, of New Hampshire. Gen. Lawrence Donahue was elected sureeon-geueraL Rev. Edward Anderson was elected chaplain-in-chief. When the committee on rules and regulations submitted their report, the proposition to enable . a class of persons to enter the order who had served in the field but bad never been mustered into the service was defeated. The committee on the Logan monument reported recommending that a fund be provided for the erection of an equestrian statue at Wasbinston. Governor Alger subscribed a thousand dollars, and Geo. G. Lemon, of New York, subpcribed a thousand dollars. The officers of the encampment were then duly installed. Tlie Itanquet at tlie Llndell. Special to the Indianapolis Journal St. Locis, Sept 30.

Dyer was the presiding officer. On his right sat General Sherman, on bis left the venerable Hannibal Hamlin. ' Arm in arm, with feeble steps, the soldier and statesman had entered the room, and there was pathos in the tones of the ex-Vice-president as he remarked to his companion: "Uncle Billy, this may be the last time that yon and I will meet the boys around the festive board. "Not a bit of it, Hannibal!" responded the General quickly; "we're both of us good for ten years vet." Around the two veterans sat General Slocum, General Fairchild, General Palmer. General Burdette, ex-Governor Curtin. Bishop Fallows and General L. Wagner, and four hundred of the comrades occupied the tables from right to left All the sKill of the decorator's art had been lavished upon the hall, and the effect was entrancing. A painting of General Logan hong in an alcove of bunting, above the chair of the President, and beneath was a wreath of immor

telles, with the one word "Logan" in blue flowers. At the other end of the room was suspended the Sag that covered the Catafalque of General Hooker, while around the walls pictures of the noted heroes of the war looked out npon the gathering from between folds of bunting. Thespacious corridors leading to the room were a forest of trees, exotics and dowers. After the menu had been discussed. General Dyer delivered the address of welcome, and General Fairchild responded. The toasts and the Epeakera followed in this order: "Our County:" response by Gen. Lew Wallace. "The President of the United States;" Gen. John M. Palmer. "Lincoln and bis Administration;" flon. Hannibal Hamlin. "The Army;" Gen. W. T. Sherman. "The Navy;" Admiral D. T. Porter.

Burdette. "The War Governors;" Hon. A. G. Curtin. While the banqnet was the center of attraction for it6 guests, the rank and file were enjoying a camp-fire and illumination at Sch raider's Garden, where the St. Louis posts acted the part of entertainers. The weather has cleared, and the moonbeams out bright and beautiful on the veterans who have outstayed the disturbing elements of the first part of the festivities. It was a late hour when taps sounded tonight, and the gray-hairea veterans left banquet hall and camp-fire, many of them never to meet again until the great reveille calls together all the heroes of the Nation upon the shores of peace for the grand reunion. Commander-in-Chief Rea. Minneapolis, Minn., Sept 30. News of the election of Judge J. P.

An Ocean Yoyaer Tries to Cheat Uncle Sam and is Cheated Himself.

Reading, Sept. 30. A startling mail robbery which occurred at some point between New York and this city came to light here to-day, and United States Postal Inspectors from New York and Philadelphia who have been working up the case all along the route have been unable to trace the whereabouts of a package of jewelry worth between $5,000 and $8,000. Postmaster Pearson, of New York, has had his best men here, but they are as much in the dark as ever, although they have been working at it for ten days. The facts in the case are substantially as follows: About a month ago a rich Boston gentleman, whose name the officers refuse to divulee, returned from Europe. While on the Continent he had purchased for members of his family jewelry to the above amount When the steamship arrived at New York he resolved to smuggle the package in without paying duty. To do this he got the steward of the vessel in his confidence. This official surreptitiously took the package of jewelry ashore. Then the Custom-house officials learned of the matter, and the Boston man decided to get rid of the package without exciting suspicion. On board the ship coming over be had made the acquaintance of a Reading manufacturer. The Bostonian and the steward went to the Hoboken postofBee and mailed the package from there to the Reading gentleman, with tae brief injunction to say nothing to any one, as his friend3 would call for it in a few days. The officials in New York got wind of the affair and telegraphed to the Reading postmaster not to deliver the package npon arrival here, but it never came, and its present whereabouts is a mystery. It has been postively ascertained that it was mailed and there is only one opinion, and that is it was stolen on the route.

A Final Disposition Made of Martinsville's Artesian Well. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Martinsville, Sept 30. The final disposition of the artesian well in this city was made yesterday evening by the stockholders of the company, and at the same time free access to the water was secured to the people of Martinsville and visitors to the city. When the company was organized to bore for natural gas the articles of association included water. The directors of the company leased a strip of ground to bore for natural gas, oil, water and coal. The word "water" was afterward stricken out by agreement between the owner of the ground, Mr. Barnard, and the president of the company. At the depth of 645 feet one of the best flows of artesian water in the State was found. A continuation of the work developed no gas, and immediately a controversy arose between the company and Mr. Barnard as to which was the rightful owner of the well. Various attempts to settle the question failed, nntil yesterday evening, when a written proposition from Mr. Barnard, agreeing to fit np the well properly, and build bathhouses, etc., and secure the free use of the water to the people for drinking purposes, the profits from tbe bath-houses and the shipping of water to accrue to himself, was accepted by the company. Mr. Barnard will improve the advantages thus granted as soon as possible. The medicinal qualities of the water are nnquestioned and have already met with more than ample proofs. At least 700 barrels of water flow from the well daily. The reputation of the water is readily shown by the fact that it is shipped to all points along the I. & V. and F. F. & M. railways, and is hauled to Bloomington regularly and sold there, and is taken away in jugs, kegs and barrels by almost every one who comes to this city in a conveyance. It is thought that this well is more valuable than would have been a find of natural-gas, nor is it a case of sour grapes. Statistics of Indiana Yearly Meeting.

Roberts, Dickson & llayden Fall Oat and Go to Law for Redress.

New York. Sept 30. Last January a copartnership was formed between Nick Roberts, James B. Dickson, of the firm of Brooks & Dickson, and William R. Hayden, manager of Helen Dauvray, for the purpose of conducting a general theatrical business, securing engagements for traveling companies and stars in the different cities of tbe Uuited States or Canada, and for booking actors and actresses. A magnificient suite of rooms at 1162 Boadway was leased, superbly furnished, and everything started as auspiciously as the proverbial marriage belL At the outset matters succeeded, and engagements were made for many combinations among the most important being "The World," 'Her Atonement, " Frank Daniels in his tew play, '"Puck," Joseph Hawarth in "Rosedale," and Professor Gleason. These engagements proved profitable to the firm, but at the termination of the spring theatrical season the business fell off and dissentions arose between all the copartners. For tbe past two weeks Roberts claims to have noticed that although a large amount of money was received, none was paid to him. The other partner, too. became somewhat cool toward him, declined to consult him, and refused to allow him any voice in the business. Roberts did not like this treatment, as his money was invested to make the concern a success, so he retained the services of Howe fc Hummel to protect him, the result of which bas been the bringing of an action to dissolve the co-partnership. On the application of Howe & Hummel. Judge Donahue, of the Supreme Court, to-day granted an injunction restraining Dickson and Hayden from interfering in the business, and placing Roberts in full possession until a motion for th appointment of a receiver, which motion is set for Monday next, can be heard. Tbe Workings of High License ia Minnesota. Boston Advertiser. The Pioneer-Press finds that there has been a falling off of oue-tbird in the aggregate number of saloons in those cities and towns where the law has been inforced. In Minneapolis the decrease has been from 334 to 227. in Daluth from 113 to 64. and in Winona from 93 to 2a In St Paul, which is not yet affected by the new law, it is predicted that 700 saloons will be decreased one-half. Tbe decrease of one-third in the number of saloons baa been followed by an increase of one-third in the amount of revenue derived from licenses. The surplus is used for municipal improvements, and it ia expected to affect the tax rate favorably. Public sentiment is reported as highly pleased with the operation ot tbe new law so far as its effects have been observed. The time of trial is yet too short to admit of any final conclusions as to its ultimate results, but the short experience of two mouths has brought some most gratifying changes. Sunday selling, selling to minors and habitual drunkards, and late closing have been greatly lessened. The higher cost of & licenuo baa

forced tbe saloons in thinly-populated neighbor hoods to close their doors, and the centralization of the business enables a sharper police surveillance. It is the opinion of many that drunkenness has considerably diminished, and, except in cities, business of the courts seem to be less Brisk. . DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN.

Another Futile Experiment. New York Mail and Express. The record of no president save Andrew Johnson is suggested by the recent develop ments of Mr. Cleveland's determined efforts foi a seconjl term. Tbe latter is the first president since Johnson whose characteristics have rendered it possible that Johnson's futile experiment of capturing popular support by a series of exhibitions of himself would be tried again.

Clear the Track t . Louisville Commercial. It having been rumored that President Cleveland would distribute offices from tbe rear end, of tbe train as be passed through Indiana, young, old, lame, blind, and even dead Democrats ara making their appearance along the line of travel, and the leaders fear that so many of them will be killed by the locomotive that it will make Indiana a very doubtful State in 1887.

No Sympathy for the BelL Minneapolis Tribune. The Bell Telephone Company is an outrageous monopoly, and its existence is a daily calamity to the American people. Excepting for the scandalous circumstances which attended tbe bringing of the government suit against this monopoly, the country very generally would regret the dismissal of the action.
