FRTTIT PRESERVERS DISCCSS THEIR PRICES. Several of tbe fruit preservers of New York, Chicago, St Louis,-Philadelphia and this eity were here yesterday in attendance at tbe quarterly meeting of their association. Charles W. Ohrendorf, of St Louis, is the president, and W. W. Hilton, of Chicago, is the secretary of the organization. Tbe discussion related mostly to prices, which will no doubt be advanced, as it is said tbe supply of fruit this season was short and of an inferior qnality. None of the canning and preserving establishments bave a stock on band that will last longer than tbe first of the year. Within the past few years the preserving interests have been widely distributed, and a large number of small concerns in the fruit gistricts have heretofore caused a low market This fall prices have been advanced considerably, as raspberries that sold at $5 per dozen eans are now quoted at $12. In other fruits tbe increase has not been so great, but it is probable they will go higher than the current market quotations. The meeting adjourned late yesterday afternoon. Items from the Courts. FEDERAL. COURT CASES DISPOSED OF. In the United States District Court, yesterday, a verdict of guilty was returned in the McConn ease.

Nov. 2- A terrible tragedy occurred in Spencer township, Medina county, last night Two weak-minded daughters of farmer A. D. Garrett were found dead in their room, and kerosene oil poured on tbe floor, to which a match had been touched. Garrets and his wife have .not lived happily, one bruig a widower and the other a widow before they married each other, and eaen having children. How the two girls met their death is a mystery. There was a bruise on the forehead of one, and the chin of tbe other was badly scratched. There were marks on their throats that might have been made by a rope or the fingers of a murderer. The neighbors and those who bave visited the house seem to universally believe that Mrs. Garrett was at tbe bottom of the terrible tragedy. The women are dead, and the fire hardly made enough smoke to smother them, and conld searcelv have been of accidental origin. The generally accepted theory is that Mrs. Garrett made way with the victims and then set fire to the house. Fatal Affray Between Negroes. New Orleans, Nov. 2.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. : . Jackson's Utterances Recall Secretary Lamar's Defense of Jeff Davis.

Special to the Indianapolis JunrnaS Washington, Nov. 2. The words of ex-Minister Jackson, at Macon, Ga., the other day, extolling the virtuea of - Jeff Davis, have fallen upon no one so unfortunately as Secretary Lamar. It will be remembered that Jackson declared Jeff Davis was the true President, and that he was as loyal and patriotic as Lincoln: it was only a difference of section of country as to the patriotism, etc. Secretary Lamar is tbe accepted choice of the President for the vacancy on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, and here it has been believed that the Secretary was likely at any moment to be called to the bench. . Now, the tables seem to ho turning. It looks as though somebody other than -Mr. Lamar would sit on the Vacant chair. It will be - remembered that a short time before Mr, Lamar retired from the Senate he sprang to his feet to defend the South, -which was arraigned on various charges political, and that during his remarks, which were very warm, be spoke of the President of the Confederacy. Those who heard the speech of Mr. Lamar, as it was delivered on the floor of the Senate, recall a similarity between it and tbe remarks of Mr. Jackson at Macon tbe other day, and believe that the ex-Minister attempted to imitate the strain of Mr. Lamar. Sines tbe country has generally expressed so much disapproval of the eulogy of Jackson upon Davis at Macon, and so much has been said of the similarity between thw opinions of these two men upon the late Confederacy and its bead, Lamar stock, so far as it went for the Supreme bench, has declined very materially. , Teaching; the Indian Language. Washington. Not. 2. -A delegation beaded by ex-Justice Strong, representing the American Bible Society, the Mohonk conference and several religious and missionary societies, called upon the President to-day to urge upon him a modification of the order of the Interior Department prohibiting the use of the Indian language in the Indian schools. The delegation stated to the President that the broad interpretation given to tbe order had practically put an end to the religious instruction of tbe Indians, and that several mission schools had been compelled to suspend their work in consequence. Tbe President's reply was entirely satisfactory to tbe delegation. He said tbat it was not intended that tbe order should be so literally construed as to forbid religious instruction in tbe Indian language, and that the recent annual report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs had made this clear. . The Lowrry-White Contest. Special to the lndianasolis Journal. Washington, Nov. 2. Ex-Renresentative Lowry, of Fort Wayne, is here again, and has filed his answer to eontestee's brief in the Lowry-Wbite contested election case. It is generally believed that this ease will not he considered until a late day, and very little importance is attaohed to it, Lowry's ground for contest beine purely technical, viz.: That White Is not a citizen of the United States, because he did not complete the execution of his naturalization papers till a year or so ago. Mr. White has been a resident of Fort Wayne a quarter of a century, and was a soldier in the late war. Lowry will return to his home to-morrow. Indiana Pensions. Washington Special.

It is believed that the mystery surrounding the murder of Frank Ham, who was found in a carriage on a freight car at Chicago, last week, is about to be cleared up, and the murderers brought to justice. This afternoon detectives arrested two parties, who, they thine beyond doubt, are the men who committed the murder. Their names are William Sims and Ilarrv Howard, both well-known characters. The evidence against them is said to be damaging. Scott Ray. the third man suspected, is in jail at Rochester, on a charge of disorderly conduct Lizzie Lazier, to whom Ray is enengaged to be married, lives in Allegheny. In an interview to-day she stated that Ray called to caa Yimr rn MftndmV iftiirnnnn Th. oir nnu duced two letters. from. Ray, dated Oct 23 and '

29. In one of them he mentions the finding of Ham's body, and adds tbat Ham's father wanted him to goto Chicago and bring the body home. He refused, because he was not feeling well. In tbe second letter he stated tbat he had a headache, and was very nervous. It is stated that Ray and several friends assaulted a woman named Kennedy, at Rochester, on Saturday night, and that the murdered man was an important witness. As bis testimony would be damaging to them, this in itself is regarded as significant LABOR INTERESTS. Four Laborers Killed by Strikers A Request for Military Aid. . New Orleans, Nov. 2. A dispatch . to merebsntshere from Mr. Lacassagne. of Tigerville, La., says:' "The strikers shot four of my. laborers this morning from ambush. I have telegraphed the Governor for troops.

Tbe sugar plantation of Mr. Lacassagne (Greenwood) is in the parish of Terrebonne, on ; Bayoa. Black, eight miles from Tigerville, sod between that point and Houma. Prior to Friday last there were employed upon Greenwood plantation about sixty laborers., tweotv-five of whom were white and the remainder colored. On Friday the latter all struck for higher wages, but all the white bands remained and continued at work as usual, Mr. Laeassagne at once made arrangements for filling np the number of laborers required upon his plantation by engaeing white men in this eity, and yesterday forty-five were sent there. But whether the four men ambushed and shot this morning were among this number, or of those remaining upon the plantation, is not known here. Later information is to the effect that no one was killed, but several persons were slightly hurt All is quiet, as the new men have left and no work is being done. Appeal In Behalf of Coal Miners. Philadelphia, Nov. 2. The general executive board of the Knights of Labor bas just issued a circular, to be read at tbe meetings of all the assemblies, ' appealing for contributions in aid of the striking anthraeite miners. It says that the price of coal has advanced $1 a ton in many markets during the past year, and that the advance asked by the miners would only amount to about two and onehalf cents a ton. Accompanying the circular is a personal appeal from General Master Workman Powderly. He says that this is the first time he bas been called upon to appear before the order in this capacity. He says evictions in Ireland can not rival the scenes in the eoal fields of Pennsylvania. He pays a tribute from personal knowledge to the honesty, icdostry, morality and patriotism of the miners. He says they appeal for bread which their honest labor eould cot win, and concludes as follows: "I unite my humble voice with theirs and ask re lief for them. Give quickly. Give liberally. They desire all that you can do. No appeal has ever been made in vain to the miners. They have always responded cheerfully and promptly to every demand upon thm. Do not only as you would be done by, but as you would have been done bv." All contributions should be sent to Charles L Litchman, box 885, Philadelphia, Pa. The locomotive Engineers. .

Special to the Jndlanaeoiia Jonrnat Chicago, Nov. 2. Another complication is added to the strike of the job and book printers

l ioday by the unexpected indorsement of their strike by the Pressmen's Union. The latter organization adopted a resolution informing the members of the Typotbetas that their union would order its men to quit work unless there was a speedy settlement satisfactory to the printers. Many non-union men are working in the leading printing offices. At Rand & McNally's office there were fifty non-union men. As they bave been threatened by the strikers, a guard of Piokerton detectives has been engaged to protect them. The Ihlgh Valley Coal Operators. Philadelphia, Nov. 2. Representatives of the companies mining coal in the Lehigh region and several of the largest operators from that section, met in this city to-day to discuss the situation relative to tbe miners' strike. It was learned from a reliable source that the trouble was no nearer an end now than at its inception. The Lehigh Navigation Company has, in consequence of the idleness of Its mines, agreed to rent its ears to the Reading Company, to be used in the soft-coal trade of that corporation. It is understood that the Lehizh Valley Railroad will rent its coal-cars to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for the same purpose. Strike of St JLouia Job Printers. St. Louis, Nov. 2 At 10 o'clock this morning the Union job pro ters of this city, numbering 153, struck for'an increase of $1 per week.

Insurance That Didn't Insure. Ishpeming. Mich., Nov. 2. The failure of the business men of Ironwood to receive the amount of their insurance by tbe late fire has led to an investigation of insurance matters in northern Michigan and Wisconsin. The amount oncollectable at Ironwood is $60,000. The companies carrying the policies, which are small concerns in Lincoln. Neb., and Louisville, Ky., claim that tbe insurance was placed through a Chicago agency, and that they never received the premiums. Agents in New York, Philadelphia. Chicago, and other cities have been flooding tbe district with circulars offering to take any and all risks refused by other companies at any rate obtainable, and as rates in regular const anies a e high, tbt-se snarpers sue ceeded in securing a large amount of insurance. They refuse to give the names of the companies until tbe premium is paid and the policy issued. Policies bave been written in nearly every city and town. The fraudulent insurance amounts to mauy hundreds of thousands, and the swindle is one of the boldest and most cleverly planned of any ever executed. "Blinky" Morgan Found Guilty. Cleveland. Nov. 2.
